Chapter 299: Making Instruments and Stockpiling Grain
"Why did the general get here?" Li Guang watched Zhao Qian leave, and asked Pu Yuan.
When Zhao Qian was there, Pu Yuanle was honest, and when Zhao Qian left, he put on a straight face and shouted: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, this is a big deal for the general." ”
Li Guang was stunned for a moment, nodded hurriedly, and said, "Understood." ”
Pu Yuan's face looked a little better, and said: "Since the car has been unloaded, according to the old rules, you will go to the camp under the mountain to rest for one night, and leave this place tomorrow." ”
After arranging Li Guang and the others, Pu Yuan asked his people to move the goods brought by Li Guang into it, which were smelted iron rods.
Pu Yuan himself also walked inside, and the jingling sound became louder, it turned out that in this hanging urn mountain, what was hidden was a place to build weapons.
Bar smelting, pouring, forging, quenching, one by one production processes, arranged in an orderly manner.
On the other side, there were rows of well-made swords, shining and sharp.
Pu Yuan picked up a long sword and sighed: "In the past, if you wanted to build such a sharp sword, it would take several times more effort, and it was not necessarily successful, but now you can build it in batches, and you are still a great general." ”
"Master Pu, the reason why this sword is sharp is because of the iron, it is all high-grade fine iron, if it is not so, it may be difficult to refine."
Pu Yuan glanced at the man and said, "Do you know where this fine iron comes from?" ”
"Of course I know that this refined iron was smelted by Si Jin Zhonglang on the bank of the Fen River." The man said as a matter of course.
Pu Yuan snorted lightly and said, "Then why couldn't General Han refine so much refined iron before, but now he can?" ”
The man was stunned for a moment and said, "Maybe this is because General Han's skills have improved, or maybe it's because of the water of the Fen River?" ”
Pu Yuan laughed and said, "You and I, as well as General Han, are all craftsmen to put it bluntly, can a person's skills be improved by improving?" ”
"Then what is the reason for refining so much refined iron?" The man asked, puzzled.
Pu Yuan smiled and said, "I have met with General Han before, and he mentioned that the Great General once gave him a book on iron smelting, and it was according to the method recorded above that the quality of the iron smelted has been greatly improved. ”
"In this way, the general is really too powerful." The man said admiringly.
The corners of Pu Yuan's mouth raised, and he said: "When General Han asked me to refine weapons for the general before, I didn't want to do this yet, but after seeing the iron, I changed my attention. ”
The man was a little puzzled and asked, "Although this is fine iron, it is just a lot of money, can it move Master Pu's heart with this?" ”
Pu Yuan laughed and said, "There is a better iron than this, but the amount is too small, even if it is the method taught by General Han, it can't succeed every time." ”
"Is there any higher quality iron than this refined iron?" The man was visibly surprised, "What about the iron?" ”
"When the general came just now, he had a sword at his waist, did you notice?" Pu Yuan asked.
The man nodded and said, "Naturally, I have noticed, could it be that the sword is made of iron that is better than fine iron?" ”
Pu Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, that sword was built by me myself, and compared to the ancient famous sword, I don't have to worry much!" ”
"Alas, if I can refine a sword like this, then I will have no regrets in this life." The man sighed.
Pu Yuan laughed: "This is not impossible. ”
"Such a precious iron material, maybe let me build it?" The man asked incredulously.
Pu Yuan patted the man's shoulder and said, "General Han once said that there are many places in the book that the general gave him that he has not yet understood in detail, and if he can understand them all, the texture of this batch of iron will also be greatly improved. ”
"That's great!"
Hearing Pu Yuan's words, not only the man was happy just now, but the rest of the blacksmiths were also very excited, building weapons for a lifetime, who doesn't want to create a divine weapon, famous through the ages.
When Pu Yuan saw it, everyone was like a chicken blood, and hurriedly put on a straight face and said: "What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and work, our task is to build the equipment of an army of 20,000 people, if it can't be completed, let alone the high-quality fine iron, even if it is broken copper and iron, don't think about touching it in this life, work!" ”
"Master Pu, is the general going to war again?" The man continued to ask, "If these 20,000 people are equipped with swords and armor made of fine iron, then their combat effectiveness will definitely increase a lot. ”
Pu Yuan frowned and said: "What are the general's plans, don't speculate, besides, our task is to make weapons and equipment, and we don't care about anything else, understand?" ”
"Understood." Under Pu Yuan's glare, the man hurriedly responded.
Pu Yuan snorted coldly and said, "Now that you understand, hurry up and get to work!" ”
The sound of the gold and stone striking in the Hanging Urn Mountain, day and night, Zhao Qian had already arranged it, and there were craftsmen to build it day and night, and it could not stop for a moment.
Five miles south of the Hanging Urn Mountain, there is also a large camp, but this camp, the sergeant's tent is surrounded by a circle.
Looking closely, it turned out to be granaries, like mushrooms, surrounded by military tents.
At this time, just after unloading another convoy of grain, the soldiers who participated in the unloading of the truck could take a little rest.
At this moment, two people came over, obviously the officers of the camp, because the sergeants who had been sitting on the ground to rest stood up one after another.
After the two passed, one of them said: "Zhang Li, the lord bought all these grains and grass from outside, where does he have so much money?" ”
Zhang Zhang smiled and said, "Don't you know that the lord has an iron smelting place on the other side of the Fen River?" The lord sold the iron for money, and then bought grain. ”
"Sell iron to someone else? Doesn't that empower others? Wang Shan asked puzzled.
Zhang Zhang pursed his lips and said angrily: "Let you usually pay more attention to major matters, but you just don't listen, don't you know that the quality of the iron sold by the lord is not very good?" ”
"Bad quality iron, others are willing to pay for it?" Wang Shan asked again.
Zhang Li put his hand on his forehead, very speechless, and after half a sound, he said: "Because the lord is powerful, the lord's iron, even if the quality is not very good, is better than the good quality iron in other places!" ”
Wang Shan was a little dizzy by the sentence tension, so he simply didn't ask, as long as he was optimistic about these grains.
So, the two stopped talking and began to seriously inspect the grain camp.
