Chapter Seventy-Eight: It's a Good Knife
In this big circle around Liu Zheng, there are more than 100 people, nearly 100 and a half people, seven counties plus a prefecture city, 12 people in one place, plus Zhou Yongsi and them who are county magistrates, there are only 13 people in each place, and there are only 104 people in eight places, and there are at least 30 people in these more than 100 people.

But this is an opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step, and those who are selected are good to say, and those who are not selected will definitely not feel good in their hearts, after all, if Liu Zheng really has a chance to reach the top, then they are definitely the first batch of ministers from the dragon, and they are all Wenchen.
With such a great temptation, how can it not make the hearts of the people feel worried, how can they not make them all pray that they can be chosen.
Liu Zheng didn't care whether they were worried or not, and spoke again: "After you arrive in the counties, the first thing you need to do is to understand the local situation, thoroughly investigate the population and fields, and make a register of these. For example, take Linzi as an example, there are 28 townships around Linzi, and after you and your people arrive in Linzi, the first thing to do is to urge these 28 townships to elect 28 township heads, and then elect a representative from the villages of each township to form a people's congress, and you will arrange the work and hand it over to them to do! ”
"In addition, you also have to abolish the inspection department, and at the same time separate the county government to form a public security bureau, now there is a ready-made template in Qingzhou City, you go to see more before you take office, to see how they manage public security, after you take office, you can let the county public security bureau and the police stations of each township assist the township head and the people's congress to complete the inventory and registration work!"
After Liu Zheng said this, he said a lot of things, basically according to the general structure of the city, districts, counties, and townships of the Shengbang in later generations, and everyone basically understood this, after all, they had read these 'big rebellion' things written by Liu Zheng a long time ago, and they could understand what Liu Zheng said at this time!
After Liu Zheng finished speaking, he clapped his hands and asked them to pick their own people, and then waited for the notice to take office.
After dismissing everyone, Liu Zheng called Neng Feiyu and Zhou Yongsi to the big tent, and muttered a touch of a touch, and then let them leave.
When Liu Zheng arranged for the leading groups of various counties, on the streets of this newly built town outside the city, a group of soldiers were posting conscription notices one after another, and after each notice, dozens of people gathered around the notices to watch, and those who were literate would read the contents of the notices to the people.
The news of the re-conscription of the Qingzhou Left Guard Battalion spread rapidly in this newly built town.
At the same time, Liu Zheng also took Wei Boyuan to the northwest corner of the new city, where there are more than a dozen brick kiln factories, dozens of blacksmith shops, and hundreds of various small workshops.
Liu Zheng's arrival was soon learned by the old craftsman Xu, and when the old craftsman Xu hurriedly came to Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng was in Li Tiezhu's shop, talking to Li Tiezhu.
"Little Lao'er has seen the owner!" As soon as the old craftsman Xu met, he had to salute Liu Zheng.
Now the group of people under Liu Zheng's hands, the generals are basically unified in their names for Liu Zheng, calling them the lord, and Wenchen's side is not very unified, some call Liu Zheng an adult, and some call Liu Zheng General Liu, but presumably after today, Wenchen's title to him can basically be unified, and he will be called the lord like Neng Feiyu, of course, there are exceptions such as Wang Jiabin who still calls him by his name.
In addition to the above two types of people, the remaining craftsmen and the common people, the name of Liu Zheng is also mixed, the old people of Xiema Village still like to call Liu Zheng the owner of Liu Zhuang, and the later craftsmen, such as the group of carpenters of the Mo family, have been changed to the lord, and the blacksmith led by Old Man Sun and Li Tiehammer called Liu Zheng General Liu, and the people called him General Liu a long time ago.
Liu Zheng doesn't care about these messy titles, after all, his only officially recognized identity is still a small catcher.
Liu Zheng quickly supported the old craftsman Xu, he really didn't dare to accept this gift, after all, this old craftsman Xu is now old, the seventy-year-old man gave him a salute, he really didn't dare to take it, this thing is too bad, he doesn't want to die early.
"Old man, didn't I tell you, don't be like this, boy, I'm really afraid of losing my life, let's not do this, don't do this, don't give me a gift in the future, I really can't stand it!"
As soon as Liu Zheng finished speaking, the folds on the face of the old craftsman Xu smiled, and he felt very comfortable, he could see that Liu Zheng's words were sincere, which showed that Liu Zheng respected him very much, and now Liu Zheng held most of the Qingzhou Mansion, and still treated him as before, how could he not be happy?
However, he didn't grasp this joy, and instead asked, "What is the matter with the owner?" ”
When the old craftsman Xu spoke, Li Tiehammer happened to hand a good steel knife to Liu Zheng, Liu Zheng took the steel knife in his hand and weighed it, and casually replied to the old craftsman Xu while weighing: "Now that the army needs to expand, there is a big gap in the weapon, not only the weapon but also the armor, so I plan to come over to see the progress of steelmaking, and I am ready to expand this blacksmith workshop again!" ”
After saying this, Liu Zheng turned his head to Li Tiehammer and said: "Iron hammer, this knife feels very good to hold, but I don't know how tough and sharp it is?" ”
Li Tiezhu scratched his head and said: "What, I, I don't understand, Old Man Sun told me, this is called that, what is called clamping steel, yes, the knife that is beaten with this is very strong!" ”
Li Tiezhu is a fool, and if you expect him to say any professional terms, it is simply like mankind has started interstellar travel.
Liu Zheng didn't care, smiled lightly, and looked at the knife carefully, the color of the blade and the sides of the blade is white, and from the wide back of the knife, the color of the normal iron in the middle is dark, which is indeed very similar to the steel clamping in the later life, but the clamping steel in the later life is forged by machines, and this knife is forged by hand.
Liu Zheng looked at it for a long time, then smiled and handed the knife to Old Man Wei: "Old man, look at this knife!" ”
Wei Boyuan took the knife and looked at it carefully, then tapped it lightly with his fingers, and then nodded: "It's indeed a good knife, but you still need to try it, come to the virtuous nephew, take out your saber and try it!" ”
Liu Zheng also meant this, nodded and came to the courtyard outside the house, took out the saber he carried with him, and said to Wei Boyuan with a smile: "Come, old man, after two moves, try the little nephew's kung fu!" ”
Wei Boyuan smiled and said, "Then you can be careful!" ”
The two of them took two steps back slightly, and then raised their knives to cut at each other, Liu Zheng used Zhou Yunjiao's thirty-six crane knife, and the old man used Yu Boda's octagonal knife, the crane knife is elegant, and You Boda's self-created octagonal knife is about opening and closing.
This knife, both of them used a lot of strength, just listened to the loud sound, the steel knife in Liu Zheng's hand that had been tempered was divided into two parts, and the steel knife in Wei Boyuan's hand could stop at the side of Liu Zheng's neck.
Liu Zheng didn't care at all about almost dying under the knife, happily snatched the newly forged steel knife from the old man's hand, kept looking back and forth, although the first dozen rounds were not very fierce, but also used a lot of strength, after carefully looking, there was no trace on the blade, and the last powerful blow was cut into two pieces of the knife in his hand, but just like this, it only made the blade of the steel knife appear a very small gap.
Small blast furnace steel, to reach this level, is already a huge surprise for Liu Zheng.
happily turned to Li Tiezhu, who was watching from the sidelines, and said, "Iron Hammer, how many knives can you hit in a day?" ”
Li Tiehammer scratched his shaved hair that was too hot and didn't care about the strange eyes of others, and said innocently: "I, what, I don't know how to count!" ”
When Liu Zheng heard this answer, he was stunned for a moment, and then he and Old Man Wei burst out into a hearty laugh at the same time, and the two of them remembered that in addition to being able to write his own name, Li Tiezhu was completely super illiterate.
"Let's go, let's go find Old Man Sun!"
A few people followed the road in front of Li Tiehammer's blacksmith shop, and walked out for nearly a mile to find Old Man Sun, who was directing the apprentice to make steel.
When Old Man Sun saw Liu Zheng coming, he also wanted to salute, but Liu Zheng hurriedly stopped him and said, "Old man, let's not come to this set in the future, let's not do this!" After saying these nonsense, Liu Zheng went straight to the point and said: "Old man, I came to you today, first, to ask about the progress of steelmaking. The second is to ask you how our iron ore mining is! The third is to ask how many knives like you can we fight in a day? ”
Old man Sun is also a happy person, took the Tao in Liu Zheng's hand, looked at it and said: "This is a steel knife, this craftsmanship looks okay, it is made by a hammer, right?" This craft has been in existence since the previous dynasty, but the fire at that time, the fire ......"
After a long time of fire, Old Man Sun remembered the term Liu Zheng said, and continued: "The temperature of the fire is not high enough, and the quenched steel is not good, but now with your guidance from General Liu, it has been greatly improved, a knife like this can be used by ordinary soldiers, but it is not enough to use it for someone of your status!" ”
Liu Zheng was even happier when he heard this, rubbed his hands and said, "That old man, how many knives can we fight in a day?" ”
Old Man Sun thought for a while and said, "If you build such a knife with all your might, you can produce hundreds of knives a day!" ”
Hey, good family fire, hundreds? Liu Zhengle's mouth was cracked to the root of his ear.
