Chapter 10 Who is Guan Yu?
Duan Zan and his eldest grandson have been in the ordnance prison for almost the past few days. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Duan Zan couldn't help much, he felt that this might be a comfort to his heart.
"Master Liu, are these made by you?" As the largest workshop in the country, the task of the Ordnance Supervisor is not to imagine that all the weapons of the whole country are made here.
In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the advanced military system, the strong combat effectiveness of its army was naturally very high.
The Ordnance Supervision is generally divided into three parts, including the Armor Workshop Department, the Crossbow Workshop Administration, and the workshop responsible for customizing weapons for a certain grade or above.
Its main management is armor and crossbows, which is also the ancient central government's restrictions on the weapon system, the people can have weapons, but not armor and crossbows and bows with a long range.
"yes. What do you think? This is specially made for Grandpa Cheng. Master Liu looked proud.
"Oh, this knife is good, I'll try it." The eldest grandson picked up the knife, "click", and the handle swept up the shelf where the weapons were displayed, and the weapons on the shelf fell to the ground.
"Phew." It was not as heavy as expected, and the eldest grandson was a little puzzled.
"What's wrong with Master Hou?" Hou Xian, the ordnance supervisor who came in a hurry, asked.
"This Mo knife doesn't seem to be very heavy." The eldest grandson expressed his doubts.
"The weight of this ordinary Mo knife is about twenty catties, but it was specially customized by the little grandfather of the Cheng family, and it reached about thirty catties, which is already a very heavy weight." Hou Xian was a little puzzled.
"Isn't the Qinglong Yanyue Knife used by Guan Yu weighing eighty-three catties?"
But the answer that the eldest grandson got was a little ridiculous, "Who is Guan Yu?" Hou Xian asked.
"These eighty-three pounds are simply impossible." Hou Xian said categorically.
What the? You don't know Guan Yu, which makes the eldest grandson so sad that he bleeds internally. Guan Yu's fame was gradually known to the world after the Song Dynasty by the promotion of the imperial court, and after the advent of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", his status became more transcendent, and Guan Yu was only respected in his hometown, that is, near Gejiabao.
"It is the sworn brother of Liu Bei of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period." The eldest grandson can only explain.
"Oh......" pondered for a while, and the eldest grandson thought that Hou Xian had some impressions.
"I don't know who Guan Yu is. But the Jin of the Han Dynasty is equivalent to about four taels today, and the eighty-three Jin is also slightly heavier than the knife in your hand, which is possible. "Hou Xian is worthy of doing this, and the conversion history of these weights and measures is also clear.
"Really?" The eldest grandson was a little unconvinced.
"There's a stone hammer over there, about eighty pounds, you can go up and try it." Hou Xian didn't laugh at anything, the existence of Changsun Tang in the past few days has indeed helped the Ordnance Supervisor solve a lot of problems.
The eldest grandson grabbed the stone hammer very reluctantly with one hand, and wanted to try to swing it, but found that he couldn't do it at all, so he believed what Hou Xian said: "It's still Lord Hou who is erudite." The eldest grandson was a little embarrassed.
"It's just been in this line of work for a long time." Although Hou Xian's EQ is a little low, after all, he can be regarded as an old oilman who has been mixed with officialdom for many years, and he still has this eyesight.
The two touted each other and didn't blush at all.
"Eldest grandson, you are here, can you go with me to Jiucheng Palace?" Duan Zan came in a hurry.
"What are you doing in Jiucheng Palace?"
"Go to your majesty." Duan Zhan's tone was full of anxiety.
"What are you doing when you see Your Majesty?" The eldest grandson was confused.
"It's too late to say, I'll explain it to you slowly on the way." Duan Zan said.
As he spoke, he put the eldest grandson into the carriage.
The horse was faster, but the carriage could be changed to a driver who could travel day and night.
"Your Majesty, my father wrote to me that the material defect of the weapons is very serious, and the eldest grandson Marquis is willing to go to Tuyuhun with Weichen to escort and supervise the manufacture of weapons and materials." As soon as Duan Zan saw His Majesty Li Er, he explained his intentions.
The eldest grandson is very resentful, you actually decided for me in advance of such a big matter without saying hello, is this really good?
"Oh, are you sure you're talking about the eldest grandson Zhiyuan?" His Majesty Li Er was a little puzzled. Changsun Tang's temperament is more or less known, and it is estimated that a gentleman like this will not do something like this standing under a dangerous wall.
"Oh, Your Majesty, Wechen is willing to go." The eldest grandson hurriedly said. This matter was done by Duan Zhan, and the eldest grandson didn't want to agree, but looking at the questioning gaze of His Majesty Li Er, he couldn't agree or not.
This did not agree, except for leaving a bad impression in the heart of His Majesty Li Er, it was basically regarded as offending the Duan family to death, not to mention that the purpose of his own go was not to charge into battle, with the combat effectiveness of the Tang Army at this time, the rear army was basically safe.
"It's not your style." His Majesty Li Er's words were a bit playful.
"Wechen has always done his best and died, first the worries of the world, and the joy of the world after the world, Your Majesty sees it." The eldest grandson was wronged.
It's just that he didn't know that his name was wronged, and His Majesty Li Er, who had changed his image, suddenly frowned, this monkey is a monkey after all.
"Tell me about Aiqing, what do you need to go this time?" The equation basically agreed.
There's no way not to say yes.
In the impression of His Majesty Li Er, this Zhixuan can be regarded as an iron-clad man, he didn't shout three times in and three out when he was playing against Wang Shichong, but now he has received three posts asking for help in a row, which shows how far the situation has deteriorated.
"My father wrote in Tuyuhun that the most lacking thing was the loss of bows and arrows, as well as the difficulty of transporting materials. Fortunately, my father used a crossbow improved by Xinfenghou, which required very little strength, and this kind of crossbow had many parts and was easy to be damaged, so these **** have been thinking of a way with the eldest grandson Hou Ye, and now they are a little eyebrows. Duan Zhan talked eloquently.
"It seems that the tiger father has no dogs, so you can rest assured that you will go."
"Your Majesty Xie praised, Wei Chen didn't dare to be ashamed, but this Hou Ye estimates that it will take some time to prepare, but the military situation ahead is urgent, can the Hou Ye make a list, we are in a hurry, and we are trying to raise it." Duan Zan didn't care about his eldest grandson's opinion for the sake of his father at this time, and when this time the matter is over, he is trying to find a way to make up for it.
"Oh, is there anything else you need to prepare?" His Majesty Li Er set his sights on the eldest grandson.
"Oh, no... No, it's just that I haven't had time to explain my whereabouts to my family in a hurry, I don't know if Weichen can go home and explain a thing or two? The eldest grandson tentatively felt that what he said was already very tactful.
"In this way, come on, go to the Xinfeng Marquis Mansion and tell it, just say that their Hou Ye is going to a distant place, and it is estimated that it will take a while to come back, maybe in March or May, maybe in three or five years." His Majesty Li Er gave an order, and naturally there was an inner servant who took the order and left.
"Does Aiqing think it's appropriate to arrange it like this?"
"Properly, properly, very properly." The eldest grandson wanted to cry, but he couldn't. (To be continued.) )
