Ha Dali listened to Li Qin's question, thought for a long time, and then said: "Build knives and guns, this is my housekeeping ability, there is no problem with how many knives to build, two thousand knives, if the iron is sufficient, the first few days will be slower, and after ten days and eight days, it will be faster, and you can build more than ten knives a day." But if it is as sharp as this broken saber, it will be difficult to do, ordinary and easy to fight, but if it is sharper, even if it is only a little sharper, then the time required will increase, such as this knife, even if I build it myself, it will take more than a month, and this must be in the case of four or five helpers to build, if I am alone, I may not be able to fight for half a year! ”

Li Qin was not surprised, he nodded and said, "A good knife needs to be tempered a thousand times, I know this." Otherwise, two thousand broken horse sabers, I only need ordinary styles, but the appearance should be shiny and shiny, so that people can see from a distance that they are good knives, is it so difficult? ”

Ha Dali thought for a while and said, "What does Li Lang mean, the kind of ordinary horse breaking knife that is less than twenty catties and thirty catties?" He saw Li Qin nodding, so he said again: "Let's not talk about the masters, even if the woman is stronger, she can use a few hammers, hundreds of people build ordinary broken horse swords, and they will definitely be able to finish in three months, if they just look better on the outside, then use the black blade, the white blade is the best, good iron is used on the blade, the blade is wider, it looks good in the hand, and it looks better than the ordinary broken horse knife, and it can bluff people more!" ”

Li Qin said that he was required to make a living, but on the basis of creating an ordinary broken horse knife, he added another process, and it was necessary to take into account both the practical surname and the ornamental surname, generally speaking, this kind of knife is made for the children of the nobles, and ordinary soldiers do not need to go into battle, for killing the enemy, the knife is practical enough, and it does not need to be beautiful.

Li Qin nodded and said, "It's good if you can do it." Also, this giant knife is used to show your ability, showing that your craftsmanship in building a broken horse knife is superb, so can you make it sharp, but the weight is lighter, for example......" He turned his head and looked around, saw Jia Xu, and said: "Even Jia Juncheng can also use the big knife, ten or twenty catties, but it must look luxurious, and it must be sharp!" ”

Ha Dali hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously: "What Li Lang said is the kind of knife used for the children of wealthy families?" This kind of knife is very difficult to fight, and it takes a long time, so it is not suitable for battle! ”

"I want to sell it to Luoyang, Chang'an and other places, we have so many people in Fujiaobao, and the cost is huge, just by planting the land to harvest crops, relying on the state's rewards, it is not a long-term solution, you have to have your own business to succeed, so that you will not rely too much on others!" Li Qindao.

Ha Dali thought for a long time, but said embarrassedly: "But even if it is our department, there are not many people who can make this kind of knife, counting me There are only a dozen, a knife will take at least a month, even if it is fought until the end of the year, there will not be many of them!" ”

Li Qin was silent for a while, and then said, "Then can you create a softer sword?" The blade can be slender and engraved with patterns, the blade is only sharper than an ordinary sword, and the scabbard can be very ornate, even with gilding. But when this kind of sword is unsheathed, it will make a soft buzzing sound, and the body of the sword will tremble, very fancy, can you? ”

After speaking, he asked people to take a pen and paper and draw a circle, which was actually drawn in imitation of the sword in the film and television dramas of later generations, which is very beautiful!

Ha Dali opened his mouth wide and muttered, "It's not difficult to do, but...... The sword is used to kill, and it would be ...... to make it like this."

No matter what the craftsmen of this era make, they must first pay attention to practical surnames, especially in swords, eager to create a knife and a sword, and use several generations of talents.

Ha has been fighting swords for half his life, and he has never heard of such a way of fighting!

Li Qin smiled: "You don't care what it looks like, you just say it's good to build?" Don't be too sharp, as long as it is a little sharper, and the cost of the sword collides, you can knock other swords out of the hole, and you're done! ”

Ha vigorously nodded heavily, and said: "It's easy to build, but it's definitely not good, it's okay to use it for decoration and street fights, but it can't withstand smashing if you want to go into battle." Li Lang, you think, when this kind of sword goes into battle, it knocks against other people's broadswords, even if it can break the edge of the broadsword, but the sword has to be broken, and the half-cut sword is against the broadsword, isn't that looking for death? ”

Li Qin smiled and said, "Who said that you want to use this kind of sword to fight, did I say it?" He drew a big knife again, this time it was painted in imitation of the dragon slayer knife in the TV series, he said: "This must be able to be created, right?" ”

Ha Dali was dumbfounded, looked at the drawings of the big knife, and said after a while: "It's just a little sharper?" ”

Li Qin smiled: "Yes, if you can knock other knives out!" ”

Ha vigorously said: "This is not difficult, but it is really not suitable for fighting like this, and it is a bit muddy!" ”

"That's enough!" Li Qin said: "The broken horse sword, as well as these two kinds of swords, you first make a sample, let me see, and then you think about it, how can you make the sword look novel, majestic in your hand, and wear it in your waist to have face, then you can make more samples!" ”

When Jia Xu saw this side talking, he walked over and said, "Are you talking about building knives and guns?" Ah Qin rest assured, leave this matter to Brother Ha, he will definitely handle it properly! ”

Li Qin said with a smile: "Brother Ha will naturally do it properly!" After instructing Ha Dali a few words, he walked away with Jia Xu, and he asked, "How is the recruitment, didn't recruit all?" ”

"If you want to recruit more than 1,000 people, how can you recruit them all in these days!" Jia Xu said with a smile: "However, after the autumn harvest, there will be more people coming, and we are now famous!" ”

The two went to Fort Fujiao together, and a large construction was underway around the castle, and Meng Mu led the strong men to begin to expand the castle.

The expansion of the fortress is along the original protruding city wall, separated by a distance, and then build a fortress, the distance between the fort and the fort will become a very wide street in the future, used as a market, and this street is completely within the range between the two forts, becoming a fortress street, safe and wide. This kind of street is the first time it appeared in the late Han Dynasty, and it should be regarded as an open street, and its appearance means that Fujiao Fort can be expanded indefinitely, which is close to the modern concept of city building.

As long as the manpower and material resources can keep up, it is easy to do anything, the newly recruited soldiers are only four or five hundred, plus the veterans are less than a thousand, the recruit training is carried out every morning, and the recruits are under the leadership of the veterans in the afternoon, building fort walls, the recruits listen to the veterans tell battle stories, and the veterans, especially the veterans who have made war achievements, take this opportunity to close the relationship with the recruits, and prepare for the promotion!

Li Qin inspected the fort and felt quite satisfied, and encouraged the recruits, so he went to Liu Sheng to talk to Liu Sheng about iron, to build a broken saber and new weapons, it is necessary to use a large amount of iron, just rely on the state to give it, it is impossible, and you have to find your own way!

Liu Sheng is also super busy these days, among the fallen Fujiao soldiers, there are his clansmen, he has to go door to door to condole, as a patriarch should do, and because there are other Qiang tribes to vote, he also has to be responsible for reception, so busy that his feet do not touch the ground.

Li Qin found Liu Sheng and told him about the iron material. Liu Sheng listened to it and said: "This matter is easy to say and easy to do, but it is really difficult to do." Iron can be bought with money, but you have to have official documents, otherwise the trade of tens of thousands of catties and tens of thousands of catties will not be possible just by privately transporting them! ”

Li Qin smiled and said, "It turns out that this is this, this is easy." I'm an official now, and I'll just open the paperwork, but in terms of money, I'm afraid I have to give credit first, I can't take out so much, and now we need money everywhere here! ”

Liu Sheng frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Li Lang, otherwise you see if this method will work, I know people in Chang'an and Luoyang, but I am all in charge of others, I can only do it myself, Luoyang is too far away, I can only find the big businessmen in Chang'an nearby, and get a large number of iron materials, don't you want to build that kind of good knife, first take iron on credit, and then create a good knife and a good sword, and pay with the sword, how about it?" But in this way, you will have a creditor, and the debtor is very uncomfortable! ”

This year is different from the later generations, the future generations owe money to the uncle, and this year the creditor is the uncle, as long as possible, no one will want to owe debts.

Li Qin didn't care, he said: "It's okay, if the other party wants to mortgage, I will give them my official seal, anyone can trust this exchange, right?" ”

"You dare to bet on the official seal!" Liu Sheng was taken aback and said, "Then don't talk about tens of thousands of catties of pig iron, even if it's iron ore, I can get it!" ”

Li Qin smiled: "Then do it." By the way, if you want to make the sword easy to sell, I have an idea, you see if it will work, let's let the wind out first, let's say that the reason why our Fujiao Army can defeat the Huns this time is mainly because of the use of a new style of sword, the knife is called the slave slaughter knife, the sword is called the slave killing sword, each sword before it comes out, it is a hero's sword, only heroes can wear it, you see this publicity, will it be easier to sell? ”

Liu Sheng said suspiciously: "Only heroes can wear it, and those who are not heroes are ...... Ah, I see, no one is going to say they're not heroes. If you sell swords in this way, then if anyone doesn't wear one, others will laugh at him for not being a hero, this business is done! ”

Everyone laughed together!

Li Qin smiled: "Let's build momentum first!" Also, there are also some poems engraved on the scabbard, let me think about it, if you are thirsty for the blood of the Huns, you must engrave it, and it will sell well! We want to be the world's number one munitions...... The world's No. 1 weapons manufacturer, government-run! ”
