There is a Zheng family named Zheng Ma in Runan County, who is good at making weapons, and has always been a blacksmith for the Han Dynasty, and legend has it that when he was exiled to Gaochang, he combined the forging process of the Western Regions with the forging process of the Central Plains to smelt a material.

No one knows what kind of craftsmanship or materials he uses, only that the weapons made of them are extremely sharp.

As the founder of this material, later generations called this steel hemp steel, the hardness of hemp steel is almost close to the hardness of titanium alloy, in that era of lack of resources and technical means, to be able to manufacture such an epoch-making thing is almost a legend.

In this era, iron could only be operated by the government, and the weapons used in warfare and the agricultural tools used in tuntian fields had to be smelted and cast by the government itself, and the people were not allowed to do it.

Blacksmiths with a certain skill are almost all registered in various countries, and they have been craftsmen for generations, and they can only make iron for life.

Zheng Yuan was born in such a family of craftsmen, and his ancestors had built weapons under the leadership of Zheng Ma.

But when Zheng Ma was exiled, Zheng Yuan's ancestors were also sent to Gaochang together, but they were abandoned due to serious illness on the way.

Fortunately, Zheng Yuan's ancestor finally survived and picked up a life.

Unfortunately, Zheng Yuan's ancestors had a family and could not return home, and even if he rushed to Gaochang, it might be a capital crime, so he covered up the fact that he was a craftsman and became a family in a nearby village.

Although Zheng Yuan's ancestors concealed their identities, some smelting experiences and stories were quietly passed down.

The Zheng family even built a house against a cliff in the middle of nowhere, and dug a cave in the house to quietly build some farming tools for their family.

Therefore, although Zheng Yuan is out of the identity of a craftsman, he still has the skills and vision to strike iron.

In Zheng Yuan's generation, the Zheng family finally accumulated a little foundation, but unexpectedly, in troubled times, the war destroyed everything in the Zheng family.

Zheng Yuan and his sister Zheng Su had no choice but to take their families with them, and since then they have become homeless people from all over the world, living a precarious life.

Fortunately, they met the Li Family Farm in Yiling County and recruited displaced people to build an unprecedented farm for them.

What shocked him was that during the construction of this Li family farm, a lot of very good steel was used, and even the houses were wrapped in iron sheets.

The surface of the sheet is extremely smooth, and everywhere you can see it is that the thickness of the sheet is exactly the same.

What kind of process is this? This has simply subverted all the techniques handed down from his ancestors, because in his cognition, the smooth surface of those well-built swords and other weapons is completely the effect of later grinding.

And even if the surface is smoothed due to frequent use, if you look closely, you can still see the hammer marks from the degree of wear.

Not to mention those hollow steel pipes in the middle, even the simplest iron sheet, Zheng Yuan didn't find a way to create it.

While Zheng Yuan sighed at the strength of the Li family's farm, he also silently pondered in his heart, how are these steels processed? What kind of special tools do you need?

But more than a month has passed, and he only came up with the kind of building method called "angle steel" by the people of the Li family farm, but this method can only be similar in shape.

Even when you play your best skills, you can't guarantee that the thickness of all places will be the same.

For craftsmen like Zheng Yuan, who have ancestral skills, their hearts are arrogant, no matter what kind of iron they are, they only need to look at them to know the general method of making them.

But in this Li family farm, Zheng Yuan's arrogance was trampled under his feet, and most of the things that had obviously been produced on a large scale could not find a way to build them.

Is the Zheng family hiding from the world for too long? Or is the world changing too fast? Zheng Yuan himself was already confused.

However, Zheng Yuan also knows that his current identity is a homeless person, and it is already an eye-opener for his family members to be able to work in this Li family farm to earn enough food and not starve to death in this cold winter.

The work of the Li family farm is very simple, it is some pushing, pulling and carrying work, and the pay is very good, as long as the hands and feet are sharp, there is almost no situation where you can't earn enough food and starve.

If you have more strength and more labor at home, you can still have a balance in your daily income.

Although the kind of paper with mysterious patterns is not as strong as the five-baht coin, you can buy some strangely shaped clothes in the Li family farm.

The clothes brought warmth to the homeless people that they had never felt before, and the houses provided by the farm for them to live in were so sturdy, with airtight walls.

I don't know what the bright windows are made of, and it is a strange feeling to be able to block the cold wind but not the sun.

They also heard that in a place called Huaxia Villa, which is only a few dozen miles away, they can earn a higher income than they do now, and they also have the opportunity to become a full member of Huaxia Kingdom, and they will no longer suffer from this rush.

But Zheng Yuan's family has discussed, and now this living environment is good enough, even if they really want to go to that Huaxia country, they will have to wait until the spring flowers bloom.

In this cold winter, they are already very satisfied to stay in the Li family farm, which is not hungry and cold, and will not be bullied at will, which is also the plan of many homeless people in the Li family farm.
