The two returned to the tun, and Yang Yinghan took the brocade box to find the Huang family.

Zhang Zheng turned around and came to Yang Ruifeng to inform him of his decision to promise Yu Nanyi just now.

After listening to Zhang Zhun's narration, Yang Ruifeng said happily: "You don't need to send it to Jimo County, it's good to dare to do it." I'll personally send five quintals of refined salt over tomorrow to see what the situation is. ”

Zhang Zhun said cautiously: "I'll let Yin Fengyi escort you." Remember to pay with one hand and deliver with the other. If there is an accident, immediately detain the other party and bring it back to Yangjiatun. ”

Yang Ruifeng nodded and said, "I know, I won't be deceived by him." ”

Zhang Zhun then turned around and came to Yang Kaide to discuss other things.

Yang Kaide is busy now, walking around the tun on crutches, chatting with the villagers and boosting morale. Zhang Zhun finally found him, and said straight to the point: "Uncle Yang, I want to secretly build a batch of weapons, I don't know if there are blacksmiths in our tun?" ”

Yang Kaide said with a smile: "You asked the right person!" We have a few blacksmiths in Tun, and the craftsmanship is very good! It's just that because I was too poor and didn't have the money to buy raw materials, I had to waste it! As long as there are raw materials, they will start working immediately! I'll call them right now! What weapon are you going to build? ”

Zhang Zhun said: "Three-edged thorns. ”

When the specifications, quantity, and characteristics of the three-edged thorn are about to be briefly explained.

After all, Yang Kaide is from a military family, and he still knows a little about weapons, and said affirmatively: "There should be no problem, as long as you don't open the blade, there will be no problem." I'm going to call them over now, and you can explain them in detail. ”

Zhang Zhun said: "Okay! ”

Yang Kaide said again: "You concentrate on training the escort team, and leave such chores to us old men!" Even if I can't, there are enough people in the tunli! No matter how urgent, it won't delay you! ”

immediately called the kid Yang Kangsheng and asked him to invite a few villagers.

After a while, the villagers came, and several of them were known to Zhang Zhun, such as Yin Fengyi's son Yin Gensheng, Zou Mingjia's son Zou Huoming, and Li Jiaxi's uncle Li Fenglai. It turned out that the three of them were the blacksmiths of Yangjiatun. The other few are friends and relatives of the three of them, and they have a very close relationship.

"Yulin, what do you want us to do? Open your mouth though! ”

Zou Mingjia's son, Zou Huoming, is a very rough old man, with messy white hair and a very loud voice, which is not at all like his son. Zou Mingjia's three brothers, one is in the escort team, and the two help purify the private salt, the Zou family's life is much more relaxed than before, and Zou Huoming's face also has a red light.

"Yulin wants you to make some suitable weapons for the escort team."

Yang Kaide said straight to the point.

The trio said that there was no problem at all in building weapons, but that there was a lack of raw materials. In the past, their pig iron was bought from Maojiatun, and sometimes they even had to go to Fushan City to buy it. Now due to the war, pig iron, wrought iron or something, are controlled, if you want to buy, you can only buy little by little, if you buy in large quantities, one is out of stock, and the other is easy to attract the attention of people with a heart.

Li Fenglai also said: "The main thing is that there is no goods, unless you refine it yourself." ”

There are too many conditions needed to make iron by yourself, and it is not possible to do it with the current conditions of Yangjiatun for the time being, so the raw materials can only be bought based on it. Buy a little from each tun, buy a little from Fushan City, and put it together, it's basically enough. The convoy is only eighty people, and the raw materials needed will not be many.

Zhang Zhun first gave a detailed explanation of the three-edged thorn to be built. The triangular thorn that Zhang Zhun wants to build does not require good quality steel, and general pig iron or wrought iron can meet the demand. If the materials are really insufficient, the only way to do this is to remelt the captured waist knives, steel knives, spears, and so on.

All three said it was not difficult. Zhang Zhun's three-edged thorn does not need to be bladed, it is actually a special iron rod with a sharp top, and the biggest difficulty is to open three blood grooves. But these three blood grooves don't need to be very flat and smooth, anyway, three grooves are fine.

Yin Gensheng made a simple calculation and said, "Yulin, each three-edged thorn needs about five catties of wrought iron. The price of wrought iron per catty is three coins of silver, and the raw material of a three-edged thorn costs one or two or five pieces of silver. A hundred, about a hundred and fifty taels of silver. ”

Zou Huoming suggested: "If you use pig iron, it will be much cheaper, the price of pig iron per catty is only two dollars of silver, and the total price is no more than one hundred taels of silver, but the quality is not as good as wrought iron, and it is easy to break." ”

Li Fenglai further explained that pig iron is too hard and brittle, easy to break, and difficult to build, let alone open a blood tank. Wrought iron is relatively soft, malleable and high, and there is no problem with forging and opening blood grooves. Of course, it would be better if there was steel. It's a pity that steel is hard to come by, and there may be no real steel in the entire Fushan Institute. The process of steelmaking is still very cumbersome.

Zhang Zhun said: "Just use wrought iron." ”

After that, he took out the prepared silver taels and handed them to Yin Gensheng's hands.

Yin Gensheng said happily: "It turns out that Yulin has prepared the funds. That's no problem. I promise you that in five days I will deliver you a hundred triangular thorns. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "Then thank you to the three uncles." ”

The three of them then took their leave.

Yin Gensheng immediately led people to Maojiatun to buy pig iron and charcoal. Zou Huoming took people to other tuns to visit the door, and bought some iron materials by the way. Li Fenglai led people to clean up their respective iron-striking tools overnight and gather them together so that they could start work early tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, Yin Gensheng came back from Maojiatun with a batch of raw materials. When it was almost noon, Zou Huoming also returned with a full load. Li Fenglai had already packed up all the tools, built an iron furnace on the spot, and was busy in an orderly manner.

The three-edged thorn that Zhang Zhun needs is indeed not high in terms of process requirements, it is just a sharpened iron rod, and it is not very difficult to forge wrought iron. Coupled with Zhang Zhun's guidance on the side, the sample came out quickly.

A black iron rod, two fingers wide (3 cm) at its thickest point. At one end is a stout grip, about four inches long (13 cm). The other end is pointed, about a foot five inches (50 cm) long. This is the most primitive triangular thorn.

To be honest, such an iron rod looks quite ugly on the outside, and it is not black and autumnal, but the quality is not bad, and it feels heavy in your hand. In terms of penetration, it is much better than the triangular thorns made of Camellia oleifera wood. Zhang Zhun used dozens of layers of cotton cloth to do experiments, and the effect was quite satisfactory, after all, this is ironware!

Zhang Zhun put forward some suggestions for improvement, and Yin Gensheng and others naturally accepted them with an open mind. After improvement, the triangular thorn was finalized and mass-produced.

Soon, each member of the escort team was issued with a three-edged thorn. Some of the players with relatively strong combat effectiveness were even issued two. With real weapons, when everyone trains, of course, their motivation is much higher.

Red Rock Beach has become a military training base, and every day the slogans are constantly sounded, and everyone in Yangjiatun knows that this is where their patron saint is, and they also know that this is a military forbidden area, and they will not approach it easily.

At the same time that Yin Gensheng and others started forging three-edged thorns, Yang Ruifeng personally sent five loads of salt to Zhaojiatun, and Yin Fengyi took twenty escort team members to escort them. The rat also sent people to keep a close eye on the movement of the salt owl on the road. As a result, there were no accidents on the road, and the group returned in the afternoon.

Yu Nanyi is indeed true to his word, and there is indeed a Zhao Laoba in Zhaojiatun who opened a salt warehouse there to buy refined salt from Yangjiatun. But Betun's private salt will not be collected. It looks as if it was specially opened for the refined salt of Yangjiatun.

Yang Ruifeng sent a total of five quintals of refined salt, each of which was 100 catties, and the total weight was just 500 catties, which was exactly 80 taels of silver according to the calculation of 160 yuan per catty. Zhao Laoba paid in full, and he did not owe a single point. The fineness of the silver is also very sufficient, and after the inspection of Yang Ruifeng and Yin Fengyi, it is believed that it is genuine silver.

This is good news for Yang Jiatun. The road from Yangjiatun to Zhaojiatun is basically safe, and when the salt is out every day, ten team members can be arranged to escort it, and the team members have more time to receive training. If you encounter a robbery by a salt lord, you only need to send a Scud back to report the news, and within two hours, Zhang Zhun and others will be able to arrive at the scene. Even if the salt lord grabbed the illegal salt, he couldn't escape Zhang Zhun's pursuit.

Basically, with the acquisition point of Zhaojiatun, there is no problem with the sales of refined salt in Yangjiatun. What Yang Ruifeng needs to focus on is how to increase production and how to keep secrets. As long as this secret is kept, the cash cow of refined salt will continue to generate huge profits. However, because of the huge profits, there will definitely be people who will fight Yang Jiatun's idea.

In the midst of the busyness, the son passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the fourth day of the fourth month of the fourth month of the seventh year of Chongzhen.

In the afternoon of this day, the rat hurriedly arrived at Red Rock Beach and reported a message to Zhang Zhun.

"Just in time!"

Zhang Zhun said coldly.

When the members of the escort heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Who's coming?

Who upset the captain so much?

Brigadier General Zhang gathered his team members and said in a deep voice: "According to the latest intelligence, the Black Panther has brought more than 60 thugs to kill Yangjiatun!" ”

Hearing the name Black Panther, the guards were furious.

During this time, they practiced assassination over and over again, precisely to eliminate this black panther! The imaginary enemy of many warriors is this black panther. Three thousand assassinations a day is no joke, the name Black Panther is simply integrated into the blood of the warriors.

Hao Linyong shouted first: "Kill him!" ”

Yang Zhiyuan raised his arms and shouted at the same time: "Kill him!" ”

The rest of the team shouted, "Kill him!" ”

For a while, the crowd was surging, and it was even more violent than Wang Shixin coming in person.

"Everyone, be quiet."

Zhang Zhun made a gesture to calm the guards for a while, and then called a meeting of the officers to study how to deal with the black panther.
