Chapter Twenty-Seven: Castle Hill Private Salt

Zhu Zhenguo has seen his second uncle less and less recently, and he doesn't know what the second uncle is busy with, so he asked his father, but he was also silent. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhu Wenbin obviously knew what his second brother was doing, and he also asked himself to help calculate the approximate profit. But this kind of thing is certainly not suitable for talking to your own children. Zhu Zhenguo had to ask his father for some broken silver and left.

Recently, the children's interest in practicing martial arts is getting higher and higher, and they are no longer following behind as they used to have fun, and they have begun to practice martial arts seriously, so the small martial arts competition is becoming more and more exciting, and sometimes it attracts some old soldiers to watch and guide.

Zhu Zhenguo himself has improved a lot after more and more actual combat, and he understands a lot of theoretical things taught by the second uncle, and recently Zhu Zhenguo has some ideas about his own weapons.

The knife of this era is a straight knife, and the resistance on the chopping is still a little large, which reminds Zhu Zhenguo of the appearance of the Tang knife in his previous life, that is, the prototype of the RB knife. The curved blade reduces the resistance of the slash and increases the toughness of the blade, making it more difficult to break, and it is smoother to pull out of the scabbard, and it is easier to remove the enemy's strength from the blade.

I am ten years old, and I am a little annoyed to practice with a bamboo knife every day, which is like the feeling of playing air gun every day as a soldier in my previous life. Zhu Zhenguo also wants to take his own sharp sword.

Pick up the pen and paper in accordance with the style of the Tang knife in my heart to write and draw, the beginning of the drawing is more than a meter long Tang knife, and later changed to about 70 centimeters of short Tang knife, this short knife is more suitable for their own use.

The drawings are drawn, whether you can get the real knife or not, you have to nod your second uncle to agree, but I haven't seen the second uncle for a few days, and asked my grandmother and mother, the two really don't know, I just thought that the second uncle went to the city to have something, and asked my father, and my father didn't tell the truth. I wanted to ask Zhu Wenzhong's brothers, but I didn't expect that there was no one left, and there were only a few dozen people left in the escort team.

Zhu Zhenguo already knew in his heart that something big had happened, it was not an ordinary thing, it was a matter of so many people, and there was no other explanation if it wasn't a fight.

Zhu Wenzhong contacted the source of goods through a few old friends, and at the same time put down all the people to visit the salt sellers, where the salt sellers jumped tightly, Zhu Qiang and Zhu Zhuang brothers personally took people down, and beat them when they met, and more than a dozen people beat the salt sellers thirty or fifty people running all over the ground.

In less than half a month, Zhu Wenzhong's 500 catties of illicit salt that he had come in earlier were sold out, and Zhu Wenzhong added a price of 105 to sell, and also stipulated that the market price could only be the same as the original, which was directly cut off from the salt dealers. For a time, the salt dealers in the entire Qingshan County dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

In any case, Zhu Wenzhong really intervened in the illegal salt of the entire Qingshan, and how many enemies he had made, Zhu Wenzhong was not afraid, and he was not afraid of fighting with Xian Man, where would he be afraid of these illegal salt dealers.

Things are finally more stable, and Zhu Wenzhong is also ready to go back to Zhujiazhuang, after all, he is still worried about the old mother and baby nephew at home. If there is no family affection, it is impossible for him to walk out of the shadow of war, let alone accept the reality that he is a disabled person with one leg missing.

As soon as Zhu Wenzhong returned home, Zhu Zhenguo found Zhu Wenzhong, and couldn't wait to take out his drawings, and only after Zhu Wenzhong looked at the drawings carefully and looked at Zhu Zhenguo questioningly, he said: "Second uncle, I want to make a good knife." ”

Zhu Wenzhong asked, "Do you want a knife with the style on the drawing?" ”

Zhu Zhenguo nodded and responded: "Yes, if this knife is made of 100 refined steel, it will definitely be faster than the knife used by the second uncle, more suitable for chopping, and more tenacious." ”

"How so?" Zhu Wenzhong was a little puzzled. This is a matter involving science, and Zhu Wenzhong obviously can't understand it just from his appearance, so it's normal to have some doubts.

"The child and the second uncle can't explain clearly, the second uncle found a good blacksmith in the city to help me build a three-foot long, and then build a five-foot one, I use the three-foot one, and the five-foot second uncle uses it himself, and the second uncle will know after using it." Zhu Zhenguo really doesn't know how to explain it, only in this way. A master like Zhu Wenzhong must be able to feel the slight changes in the use of weapons.

"Guo'er, it's time for you to practice with real knives, this time I go to the city again, and I'll make two knives on the map to try." Zhu Wenzhong still had some doubts in his heart, but he still had some trust in this nephew.

The metal of this era is still very valuable, a small piece of copper can buy a meat bun, and most people in the whole society are revolving around this grain, so the value of grain is higher than that of ordinary things, one or two pig iron can also be worth twenty or thirty copper coins, seven or eight catties of pig iron can also be worth three taels of silver, if a short knife of eight catties of stainless steel made of ten catties of pig iron is worth at least seven or eight taels, which is equal to the value of one acre of paddy field. Some iron farm tools of many farmers are the most valuable belongings of this family, that is, in ancient China, many times there were several families sharing a kitchen knife.

In this era, there is only one way to make steel, that is, to hammer the pig iron thousands of times, and the role of hammering is to discharge the air and impurities in the raw iron, so that the atoms are more tightly combined, and the more important reason for the iron to steel is that repeated folding and hammering can make the carbon atoms enter the pig iron, making the pig iron more hard and flexible, of course, there is also the role of quenching.

Zhu Wenzhong saw his mother, and arranged for a group of escort team members brought back to be on duty in Zhuangzi, preparing to take the team members who had stayed in Zhuangzhong to the city for training. In the future, it will be possible to control the private salt of the entire Qingshan, and these clansmen will be able to take charge of themselves in various parts of Qingshan County.

Zhu Wenzhong arranged big and small things and hurried to the city, first, there were many trivial things in the city, and second, Zhu Wenzhong also wanted to know if the knife designed by Zhu Zhenguo was really as easy to use as he said.

In Zhu Zhenguo's anxious waiting, Zhu Wenzhong finally came back, and also brought the Tang knife that Zhu Zhenguo was looking forward to, Zhu Wenzhong had just handed it over, and Zhu Zhenguo couldn't wait to grab it. The pine scabbard, with the copper ornamentation, and the mahogany handle with non-slip carvings, the appearance has exceeded his imagination, and the craftsmen of this world are really artists.

Pulling it out hard, the seventy-centimeter knife slid out of the scabbard very smoothly, without any feeling of sluggishness, the cold light flashed in his eyes, and the blade was cold and cold, it was really a good knife.

The luck of the dance is even more wind practice, Zhu Zhenguo shouted: "Good knife." ”

Zhu Wenzhong laughed and said: "The knife designed by my nephew is really easy to use, the second uncle couldn't help chopping along the way back, and the trees on the road didn't know how much I had cut down." ”

Zhu Zhenguo also smiled: "I'm afraid that this knife will become famous in the future, so it's better for the second uncle to give it a loud name." ”

Zhu Wenzhong nodded and thought about it when he heard this: "Since it was designed by Guo'er, why don't you teach Zhenguo Knife?" ”

Zhu Zhenguo said: "Okay, second uncle, it's called Zhenguo knife." ”
