"Ah Ping, I haven't seen you for a few days, where did you get this good knife, how much money did you spend, can you resell it to me, our family has accepted it here." Xue Liangwu looked pleading, among the brothers of the Xue family, his infantry combat skills were the first, but he didn't have a worthy blade, seeing this sharp weapon, where could he endure it.

"Naturally, you can't resell it!" Zhou Ping smiled and took the knife from Xue Liangwu's hand, and put the knife into the sheath: "My wrist strength is far smaller than yours, this knife is lighter for you, wait for two days and let Taishan fight a new one for you!" ”

"You Taishan, isn't that Blacksmith Chen?" Xue Liangwu suddenly said angrily: "You guy is so stingy, if you don't give it, you won't give it, I don't know Chen's blacksmith skills, where can he make such a good knife?" ”

"This knife is my Taishan!" Zhou Ping smiled and pulled the saber out of its sheath by two or three inches, revealing the mark of swallowing: "Look, isn't this the mark of Chen Ji?" ”

Xue Liangwu saw that it was indeed the crooked word "Chen" that he was used to, and couldn't help but say, "Really? ”

"Naturally it's true, I went to Tokyo this time, but I went to the workshop of the Ordnance Supervisor, and I came back after learning the craft, if you don't believe it, you will go to the Taishan blacksmith shop with me later, but I said ugly things in front, I can give you the craft money, and you have to give the iron money!"

"That's nature, that's nature!" Xue Liangwu was already smiling from ear to ear. Xue Zhangren and the best Zen master also took the saber, and passed it on one by one, and they couldn't help but be amazed. Zhishan sighed: "It's also iron, but the sword is so far behind, the wonder of creation is really incomprehensible." Speaking of this, he put down the saber and asked, "Zhou Tanyue, can you explain it to us." ”

"What's so hard about that?" Zhou Ping walked to the side of several cases, took a chopstick, dipped it in wine, and explained it while drawing on the surface of several cases. It turns out that the smelting technology of early human beings is relatively backward, and it is difficult to reach a sufficient temperature in the furnace to melt the iron ore, so the obtained is generally a sponge-like lump wrought iron, which can only be used after forging; With the progress of ventilation and smelting technology, the furnace temperature increased, and the pig iron with the lowest melting point came out of the iron furnace, which was hard and brittle, difficult to use directly, and must be annealed and decarburized before it could be used, and the easiest to obtain on the market at that time was this kind of pig iron, and the price was also the cheapest. In order to solve this problem, ancient Chinese craftsmen usually used surface carburizing technology on wrought iron, put the iron in a high-temperature charcoal fire, and then fold and forge and quench it to make it a tough and sharp weapon; And there is another way, that is, wrought iron with a certain amount of charcoal powder and catalyst, and then sealed and heated, so that it is combined with it, made of steel, the finished product of this method first came from the Persian Sassanid Dynasty, our country called it "iron" in ancient times, the Northern Song Dynasty in the northwest of China also used this technology, the world-famous "Xia sword" is made by this method. At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty spent a lot of money to obtain its method after seeing and hearing it on the battlefield, and put it into use in the military supervision workshop. Compared with the first method, the second method does not need to be repeatedly forged as long as the temperature and catalyst are used properly, and there is no need for first-class craftsmen, and it is necessary to save manpower and material resources.

"Hey! This is a secret of the military state, unexpectedly-" Zhishan couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, obviously he was a little unimpressed that such an important military secret was easily obtained by Zhou Ping as a joke, but this thief was in front of him, and some words were not easy to say.

"I see, then I will go to your Taishan Mansion tomorrow and let him make weapons for me!" Xue Liangwu on the side didn't take Zhou Ping's approach seriously at all, and his mind was only on his own weapons.

"It's easy to say!" Zhou Ping turned to Zhishan and asked, "I wonder what the Zen master plans to do when he comes back from Liaodong this time?" ”

"What's the plan?" Zhishan was stunned for a moment, and replied with a smile: "This time the alliance between the imperial court and the Jin State is also on track, and I don't need it anymore, I haven't returned to my hometown for many years, and I will go back to my hometown in Shaanxi after this incident to get old!" ”

"It's good!" On the side, Xue Zhangren saw that his old friend's expression was a little wrong, and hurriedly raised his glass to persuade him: "Zen master, you have made such a great contribution to your hometown, it is the joy of life, so I don't envy my old man!" The others hurriedly responded, and raised their glasses to drink, and they did not back down, but in the blink of an eye, six or seven large glasses of wine had entered their stomachs. Although what they drank was only village brew, it was very thick, and Zhishan drank it more violently, and his speech became inarticulate. Zhou Ping had to get up and help him to the backyard guest room to rest, and when he was about to clean up and get about to push the door out, a supreme voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Zhou Tanyue, do you have anything to say in the hall just now?"

Zhou Ping turned around, only to see that Zhishan had already sat up, where was there still a little drunkenness on his face, obviously he was just pretending to be like that just now, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Zen master, you just pretended to be like you, and you actually deceived so many of us!" ”

Zhishan showed a narrow smile on his face: "I went to the Jurchens and came back, so naturally I became more cunning!" ”

"I see, I thought those Jurchens would be more honest!" Speaking of this, Zhou Ping's face turned pale, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, I do have a few words to say to Zen Master Yu to listen to, but I don't know whether to say it or not!" ”

"Lao Wei is an outsider, what can't he say?"

"Sage Yun: 'There is no beginning and no end', although this joint gold and Liao can't be said to be a Zen master, but if there is no you, I am afraid that this alliance may not be able to succeed;

Zhishan smiled when he heard this: "Zhou Tanyue's words are bad, then Wanyan Agu has the heart to destroy Liao in the Song Dynasty for a long time, even if there is no me Zhishan in Liaodong, can't he find someone else to spread the word?" With such a big hat buttoned down, the old man can't afford it! ”

"What the Zen master said is very true, but I want to ask you a question: If the future of the Liao war does not work out, and the country loses its teacher and humiliates the country, then how will the history of the Zen master comment on you?"

"This?" Zhishan was suddenly speechless, Zhou Ping's question suddenly hit his point, a person like Zhishan can't bend, rich and noble can't be silver, poor and lowly can't be moved, it can be said that he doesn't eat hard and soft, it's easy to cut off his head, and it's difficult for him to do things for you. There is only one thing he can't let go, and that is the evaluation of him in the history books a hundred years later. Therefore, the Confucian scholars of later generations said, "Confucius is the Spring and Autumn Period, and the chaotic ministers and thieves are afraid!" "The rebellious ministers and thieves are not afraid, but they are frightened by people with lofty ideals like Zhishan who take the world as their own responsibility.

Zhou Ping saw that his trick was effective, and hurriedly pressed step by step: "The kid dares to say one more thing: if he says that Hu Qi goes south, the Central Plains is bandang, and the disaster of Yongjia is repeated, I don't know where he should live in the history of Zen master?" ”

After listening to Zhou Ping's series of questions, Zhishan's eyes were slightly closed, and he was sweating profusely, as if he was in a nightmare. After about half a sound, Zhishan raised his head, looked directly into Zhou Ping's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "If it is really as you say, a hundred years later, Lao Wei will naturally be sideways and annihilated the minister, and he will end up being scolded by thousands of people." Zhou Tanyue, it seems that you don't want me to return to my hometown! ”

"Exactly!" Zhou Ping said in a deep voice: "Anyang is located in Hejin, west of Taihang, since ancient times is to control the north and south, shield Xijing (Luoyang) place, if it is really the unfortunate words of the boy, Hu Qi south, here will inevitably encounter soldiers, at that time only afraid of the north of the river, there is no pure land." ”

"You want to protect the township and keep the party safe?"

"Yes, but the kid is shallow, and he dares to love the Zen master to stay with me!" Speaking of this, Zhou Ping stood up and gave a deep bow to the supreme goodness.

"Hehehe!" Zhishan suddenly laughed, and Zhou Ping's face remained unchanged, but he maintained a posture of pretentiousness. Zhishan jumped up from the bed and walked towards the door, smiling as he walked: "You are just a military attache of the ninth grade, just a patrol, if you really ride south, I am afraid that you will not be able to protect yourself, and you still want to resist the catastrophe with your own strength, it is really ridiculous!" ”

"Then Zen Master, you are obviously an outsider, but you have been running around for decades, and you have no time to warm up, but what is it for?"

Zhishan's action paused, he turned around, looked at Zhou Ping and asked, "Today's things are hard to return, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve with your strength." ”

"I borrow the wisdom of the people of the world to rule with morality, so why should I not succeed?"

Zhishan's eyes lit up and he asked, "If the destiny is not harmonious, then what should it be?" ”

"If the destiny is not harmonious, then this is naturally the place where you and I die, better than spitting on ten thousand people in the history books a hundred years later!"

"Good, good, good!" Hearing this, Zhishan's eyes were already full of tears: "Zhou Tanyue's words really made Lao Wei see the clouds, it seems that my physiognomy is the same, no matter what, Lao Gan's old bones will be thrown here!" ”

"I have a major event that lacks the person in charge, if I have the help of the Zen master, why worry about it!"

Sanhejin is located in the northeast of the ancient Ye City twenty-three miles, Zhangshui flows through this place to the east, there is a narrow place suitable for crossing the river, the end of Qin Xiang Yu is from this place to send troops to cross the river, the garrison Zhangnan attacked Qin General Zhanghan, since ancient times it is an important ferry port on the Zhanghe River, due to the convenient transportation, the increase in population, to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty here it gradually developed into a small market town, the government set up a patrol department here, under the jurisdiction of twenty archers, here to catch thieves, maintain law and order, originally just an old house next to the ferry, After Zhou Ping took office, he occupied a nearby abandoned old temple, cleaned up and cleaned up, and was supposed to be the yamen of the inspection department.

On this day, it was the time to rush to the polder, and the only street in the market town was crowded with farmers in straw sandals, cattle dealers in bare sheepskin jackets on hot days, and small traders in the market town, and from time to time there was a burst of quarrels and scolding. But soon the quarrel subsided, and the reason was very simple—the group was walking towards the inspection department, led by a young man wearing a black shirt, a round-necked official robe, and a saber at his waist, who was Zhou Ping, who had not been in office for a long time. Thank you for the reward, some people in the discussion area think I'm slow to update, but after all, I have my own job, and I have some other things at hand, and the time for coding words is limited every day, so please forgive me! All Webb can do is keep the quality!
