In this era, there is no real industry to speak of, so the creation of weapons and armor, and the production of chariots are the so-called 'heavy industry' of this era. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the following countries began to accelerate the integration of resources and resources, and the prototype of the county system began to appear in later generations, and the military began to appear in large army battles, and there was a market where there was demand. According to Ou Yeliang, it was here that his ancestor and the ancestor of the wind beard met, fell in love and killed each other.

Sitting in a carriage made of mahogany, Umeko plays with an intricately styled short sword. It should have been a long time since it was wiped, and the dagger body was a little gray, but as long as it was slightly polished with a grinding stone, it became shiny and remarkable; The wooden handle of the short sword is also made of fine mahogany, which is warm and warm in the hand, and the style is extremely exquisite.

Zhong Wuyan stared at the short sword for a long time, suddenly snatched it and waved it in the air a few times, listened to the sound of the sword roar, nodded slightly, and said: "Good craftsmanship, the key is that the materials are average, not a hundred years of black iron, it can be seen that it is from the hands of ordinary craftsmen." But this swordsmith is very sincere, I'm afraid that it will take years just to forge this short sword? ”

Meizi looked at this woman who looked more like a man than a man, and the person in front of her was so strange that she liked the aroma of her car, so she stayed in her car every day; Where is the incense in the car, it is clearly her daughter's body fragrance, it doesn't matter if this child likes it, she is still happy in her heart. It's okay if it's a talented and handsome man like Baizi. She's probably secretly happy. But if you change to someone who is also a daughter, it will be a little weird to say that you like her body fragrance, and that feeling will not be too good.

She was a little curious about Zhong Wuyan, but also a little frightened, so she replied cautiously: "This sword took two years to build, and it is called ...... in Wuyuan."

"I know that in Wuyuan, this is called a 'body sword', and smelters and swordsmen who have a little means will build a sword and give it to their children for family heirlooms. Your father was also a swordsman when he was in Wuyuan? It's a pity that this sword is out of sincerity. But in the end, it came from the hands of ordinary craftsmen, and it was never as good as those famous swords. I'm just very strange, although Wu Yuan is not the same Wu Yuan back then, but your father is a sword master after all, how could he be reduced to betraying you? ”

Zhong Wuyan's style is very similar to the glorious and correct party in later generations and the great savior of the Chinese people, and he is the most positive for uniting Meizi, a poor ~ middle peasant who has strayed into the dust, and has had many in-depth exchanges with Meizi these days, and every time he looks infinitely sympathetic; This makes Meizi a little uncomfortable, her background is always the most personal thing, where do you need a female mountain king to sympathize?

"The sword was made by my grandfather. By my father's generation, there was no longer a swordsmith, he was just an ordinary farmer in the countryside of Wuyuan; After the Yue Kingdom was suppressed by the Shandong countries. It was attacked by the Chu State again, the country declined, Wuyuan no longer had the scenery of the year, and when there was a flood that year, my father sold me to the 'human merchant', but secretly hid this sword in my sleeve, telling me that when I am in trouble, this sword can protect me......"

"Hehe, do you know what the body sword is used for? This is where the last dignity of a swordsman lies, and it is the ...... used to judge himself when times of all difficulties come."

Zhong Wuyan said and took out a short sword from his sleeve, but it was a treasure with South China Sea shark skin as a sheath and gold and silver gems inlaid throughout, and he lowered his voice and smiled: "I also have one." But I don't use it to kill myself, I only use it to kill my enemies. Meizi, why don't you let me kiss my face, from now on we will be sisters of righteousness, and we can also learn from those men to melt their blood! In the future, I will protect you, you don't have to serve those stinky men anymore, and you don't even have to be used by Baizi, okay? Just kiss it, I won't lie to you......"

Meizi shook her head again and again. She's not a fool, a kiss is a righteous sister? I haven't heard of this kind of method, so people won't be fooled.

Ying Si sat in front of Bai Dong with a small pout, holding a thick book in his hand, frowning and reading. Bai Dong sat opposite him, holding a small bamboo stick in his hand, whenever Ying Si was drowsy in his head, he gently pointed it at his head, and Xiao Ying Si had to open his eyes and continue to read hard. This day is simply unbearable, thinking of the comfortable life in Aunt Meizi's fragrant car, he feels that he is living in hell now.

"After looking at it for so long, you still don't see what Wu Yuan's problem is? If you were to be the head of a county in Wuyuan County, wouldn't there be no hope for this place? ”

Bai Dong's face was indifferent, and it was indescribable with a fierce voice, Sang Wazi couldn't stand it anymore, Ping An Lang was too eager to do things, he was just a six-year-old child, and he had to let him do what a county guard should do, is this still reasonable?

Ying Si also felt very aggrieved, puffed out his cheeks and looked at Bai Dong, his mouth moved a few times, but he didn't have the courage to protest after all.

"You think you're only six years old, and I, the Taifu, shouldn't be so embarrassed, right? Don't you know that there is a Wang in the Lu country who can fight for the country at the age of 10, although he finally died on the battlefield, but everyone in the Lu country was excited, and finally defeated the Qi army? Confucius is very knowledgeable and teaches the world, even Zuo Qiu Ming wants to call him a saint, but he was only seven years old Xiang Lu was difficult to test, and finally he was convinced to call this child a teacher, and Xiang Lu was also respected by the world as a 'holy prince'! This is the hero among children and the hero among children. As the prince of the Qin State, you will definitely ascend to the throne and dominate the side in the future, I don't know how many people have their livelihoods tied to you, but you can't even see through the affairs of Wuyuan County, how can you not be disappointed? ”

Bai Dong reprimanded Xiao Yingsi endlessly, and the little guy was so sad that he was about to cry. As the prince of the Qin Kingdom, of course he had heard the story of Xiang Lu and Wang Ji, but he never thought of comparing himself with these two outstanding children, and now Taifu used these two legendary children to pressure him, but he had nothing to say.

Is Muhara-gun's question simple? It's not easy. Ying Si felt that if he looked at Wu Yuan's information any more, his head would explode. As early as when Wu and Yue fought for hegemony, it was a famous big city, after the Yue country swallowed up the Wu country, it was the first county in the southeast of China, but the former Wuyuan was the world's refining city, the first merchant trading city in the southeast, there are countless paddy fields outside the city, you can plant rice that crops twice a year, industry, commerce, and agriculture are all in full swing, but now Wuyuan is completely different, it can be described as chaotic, so that the king of Yue who first ascended the throne is helpless.

Isn't that Wuli also a disciple of Taifu? Why didn't Taifu blame him, but came to scold himself, and often praised Wu Li in front of himself as his most proud disciple? It's so unfair! The more Xiao Yingsi thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, and tears kept rolling in his eyes.

It is no wonder that Win Si will have a headache, in the period of Wu Yue hegemony has a deep-water harbor Wuyuan as early as a hundred years ago with the help of the superior geographical environment has been greatly developed, at that time Yan, Qi, Wu Yue, and even the mineral resources of Chu can be concentrated here, and Wu Yue's sword casting method is outstanding in the world, here has become the first major city to produce all kinds of weapons and equipment, there was a grand scene of Wuyuan City where everyone is strong and wears a sword.

With the support of 'heavy industry', the number of Wu Aborigines gradually increased to 70,000, half of which were related to iron smelting and sword casting, and half were merchants who came to the city because of the prosperity of the city and farmers who settled near the city.

After seeing the detailed information of Wu Yuan, even Bai Dong was surprised, this city named after the county had already surpassed the scale of the big county, and there were 30,000 people of all kinds in the city in its heyday, and there were 50,000 peasants outside the city, which was not much better than the capital of some weak countries; Moreover, the city integrates industry, commerce, and agriculture, and it is even more amazing that it can be self-sufficient, as if it were a small country. In China before Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, although there were many capitals with this kind of weather, there was only such a Wuyuan at the county level.

"Boy, let me remind you, the first thing to solve in order to break the Wuyuan dilemma is all kinds of debts, including the debt of the farmer Qingmiao, the debt of the businessman's profit and loss, and the debt of the worker's arrears to the craftsman's salary.

"Giggles, Bai Zi said it is not easy, it is in order to solve these debts that this girl wants to borrow millions of silver coins from you, if there is no money, there is no way to solve it, the gods have to worry, let alone such a child?"

Before Bai Dong's words fell, he saw Zhong Wuyan open the window of the carriage with a smile and poke her head in, but unfortunately her smile was not beautiful, and it also had a bit of mockery.

"Really? If I have a way to solve Wuyuan's problem without spending a copper coin, what should I say about the saltless girl? ”

Bai Dong smiled lightly. (To be continued......)
