This battle of Cao Cao is the biggest victory won by Pang Shanmin after taking charge of Jingxiang, it is naturally worth celebrating, Pang Shanmin feasted for three days, and the ministers were all drunk, even Zhang Fei and other people who are good at drinking, and they have been walking for days and are fluttering.

The battle of Chen Liu, so that no one in Jingxiang was afraid of Cao Cao's soldiers, and Pang Shanmin never thought that the victory in this battle would produce such an effect under his rule.

In the cold winter, the three princes have all quit the army, Pang Shanmin also hopes that the tired Jingxiang army in recent years can have a good rest, this year, the soldiers under his command are quite difficult, Pang Shanmin in addition to the reward of the army sergeant, a lieutenant general and colonel, are also rewarded.

Jingxiang is rich, there is no shortage of money, Pang Shanmin also feels that he only gives money, it seems that he can't express the sincerity of his lord of Jingxiang, thinking of Cao Cao and Sun Quan have cast swords and give them to the brave generals in the army, Pang Shanmin also feels that this approach can be used for reference.

In recent years, the academy has been committed to the development of thaumaturgy, the Mohist school in Jingxiang to reshape the glory, even the smelting and casting technology, the academy has also sorted out a lot of good recipes lost to the people due to years of war, as far as the generals under his command are concerned, whether it is the Qinglong Yanyue long knife in Guan Yu's hand, or Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear, Huang Zhong's treasure carving giant bow, etc.

Therefore, after the feast, Pang Shanmin entered the academy and told his father and Mr. Chengyan everything in his heart, and the two deans were also quite supportive of Pang Shanmin's idea.

Just forging blades. It's not easy, not to mention that what Pang Shanmin is asking for is not an ordinary blade.

Today's sharpest sword, is the Chixiao sword left over from Liu Bang's White Snake Uprising in the past, but with years of war, this sword is difficult to find, and the second one is Cao Cao's sword when he made it, and the craftsman occasionally got the two divine weapons of Yitian and Qingyu.

Pang Shanmin hoped that such a sword could be held by all the generals in the army. And yet that's the idea. In the eyes of the two deans, they were quite naïve.

Unlike the weapons held by the soldiers, all swords are tempered soldiers, and even more, the material chosen for forging is extraterrestrial meteoric iron. It was the time when the Han Dynasty was prosperous. There are very few blades in the world that are so famous. Pang Shanmin actually hoped that all the generals in the army would have divine soldiers, Huang Chengyan couldn't help crying and laughing when he heard this, and said to Pang Shanmin: "You can be a divine soldier and a sharp blade for everyone?" It was when Cao Cao dominated the Central Plains in the past. In his hand, he only leans on the sky, and the two swords of Qingyu, have you ever heard that Cao Cao has a new divine soldier? ”

When Pang Shanmin heard this, he thought for a moment and smiled: "Don't worry, teacher, Pang means that in recent years, the academy has had a lot of folk smelting recipes, and Pang heard that among the Xichuan barbarians, there are also tribes that are good at smelting. ”

Huang Chengyan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "All the craftsmen are extremely cautious about their secret methods, how can they take them out easily? The old man also sought for many years, but received very little. Besides, you don't know that the old man has spent a lot of ......money on sorting out the Spring and Autumn Period and the smelting and casting of good recipes during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period over the years."

"Problems that can be solved with money are not problems for me Jingxiang! Pang has been fighting repeatedly this year, and there is still a lot of treasury money left! Pang Shanmin smiled when he heard this: "The money is spent, but the skillful craftsman is used by me Jingxiang, such a transaction, in Pang's opinion, it is quite cost-effective, and Pang thinks that even if there is really a good general who can cast a sword like the sky, such a sword as Qingyu, Pang Mou is to give him an official title, and he will not hesitate to seal his wife and son!" ”

"The mountain people want to make the craftsmen become a family?" When Huang Chengyan heard this, he was stunned for a while, and he didn't believe it, but he saw Pang Shanmin and smiled calmly: "According to the teacher, now that my Jingxiang family is stronger, can I be called a family?" ”

Under the bewitchment of Pang Shanmin's development of commerce, the Jingxiang family has obtained huge profits, but it is not as attached to the land as before, and the family now has no right to be a private soldier, in addition to the family adherence to the inheritance of the family motto, not to mention that it is compared with the strong man in the past, even when Liu Biao ruled Jingxiang, it is also very different.

Huang Chengyan was thoughtful, and Pang Shanmin smiled when he saw this: "Now the family inherits etiquette and righteousness, and if the craftsman also enters the family, he will inherit the skill, in Pang's view, there is no difference between the two." ”

"Do the mountain people want to use this to build a blade and then reduce the status of the family?" Huang Chengyan suddenly realized, but as soon as the words came out, he shook his head again and again, and said to Pang Shanmin: "Mountain people, you can't be in a hurry, and in the eyes of the old man, the family has made a lot of contributions to Jingxiang, if the mountain people act like this, it will inevitably make the hearts of all families cold!" ”

Pang Shanmin smiled when he heard this: "It is not to reduce the status of the family, but to enhance the status of skilled craftsmen, teachers should know that in recent years, the real contribution of our academy to Jingxiang is not the poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, and strategy of war, but those sophisticated techniques." ”

Huang Chengyan was speechless when he heard this, but Pang Degong smiled and said: "Isn't it true that the mountain people are not afraid that the scholars disdain to be in the company of craftsmen?" So that the craftsman can achieve the family, how can many people in Jingxiang be willing? ”

"Which family does not want to, so they don't make spinning wheels, don't do printing and dyeing, and don't use paper to ......" Pang Shanmin heard this, and said without thinking: "In Pang's eyes, the scholar is not more noble than the craftsman, and what is the root of the prosperity of the family, presumably the heads of each family know that they use the skills of craftsmen, but they do not have the status of craftsmen. ”

When Pang De heard Pang Shanmin's words, he knew that his mind had been decided.

It's just that Pang Shanmin's idea is not resistant, over the years in the academy, Pang Degong can more and more feel that the impact of technological progress on the times is far less than poetry, calligraphy, etiquette, and righteousness.

Over the years, Pang Shanmin has successfully improved the status of Jingxiang merchants, and now many businessmen have a lot of wealth, and the wealthy businessmen are also committed to cultivating young children in the clan to read poetry and books, in the long run, these merchants' families are also very likely to be transformed into families, and Pang Shanmin is now to improve the status of the craftsman family, Pang Degong expects that although it will encounter resistance, but it is not completely impossible to succeed.

Thinking of this, Pang Degong smiled and said: "Whether it is a craftsman or a businessman, in short, Jingxiang is now a new atmosphere, and it is difficult for the old man to see it clearly, mountain people, as long as you think that this is beneficial to the people, let it go."
