The blazing iron furnace, the crimson steel pounding repeatedly on the anvil, each vibration of the hammer made the onlooker's heart skip a beat.

Lu Buxian's ears with earplugs, standing a few steps away to watch the movements of the season, the gear disc rotation meshing drives the hydraulic forging hammer to hammer the steel block according to the same rhythm, each hammer smashes the steel block flat, and then bends and stacks to continue the previous step, when the golden red steel block lowers the temperature to dark red, it is sent into the furnace to continue heating, and then another piece of steel is hammered to the golden red color.

Bang Bang Bang!

As far as the eye can see, the semi-open blacksmith's workshop is full of the same furnaces, and the blacksmith apprentices hold shovels and fill a shovel with a shovel from time to time, and the coal is half-melted in the golden fire, like syrup flowing in the hearth.

Each iron furnace has four discharge holes, respectively supply the blacksmith in four directions to calcine the steel, the tall and strong blacksmith holds the steel with both hands, quietly adjusts the angle and waits for the forging hammer to beat, there is a wooden ladder next to the top floor, and the speed of adjusting the forging rhythm depends on manual adjustment.

"Look, your lord, our blacksmith workshop produces 6,000 catties of steel, 30 catties of steel, 300 catties of steel, 300 catties of 60 catties of steel, and 50 catties of 100 steels every day." Lu Buxian held the ledger, on which the scribbled handwriting recorded the daily incoming and outgoing materials, the consumption of coal and the loss of bad gear forging hammers.

Lu Buxian's handwriting is quite easy to understand, and Lian Ji's writing is crooked like a dog crawling. His handwriting was so sloppy that he didn't recognize it, and every time he reconciled the accounts, he knew that he was smirking at the account book, and Cao Shi had a headache. There is nothing you can do with this blacksmith genius.

Craftsmen must read and write, two years ago issued a strict order to now only show the initial effect, do not understand the culture of the blacksmith will never be promising, can read and write to record their years of research experience in ironwork to have a future for promotion.

After wasting half a day's strength to understand the approximate entry and exit records, Cao Shi said: "Lu Jiajian's font needs to be strengthened!" There is less steel out of 100 steels, and it is just right to make an official knife. I made the knife body for you more comfortable. ”

"After researching, counting the knife-making opinions of more than 500 blacksmiths, I tried to make a few war knives of similar shape. The scimitar with a slightly larger arc is more powerful, but the weakness is that the blade is too short, the hit rate is lower, and the straight-edged ring knife with a smaller arc has a high hit rate and a slight lack of lethality. The Yanling knife, which takes into account both curved and straight edges, is the best to use. Lu Buxian replied vaguely.

At first, the blacksmiths didn't believe the image. It is not a boast that Cao Shi has a lot of knowledge in the art industry, but it does not mean that the smelting and knife industry is also an expert.

The blacksmiths didn't pay attention to the picture, according to the rules of the blacksmith's workshop, each blacksmith led the iron material to build cavalry knives according to their own ideas, and after the first screening and the second selection, the excellent works were selected. Invite the superior knight of the Hou Mansion to test the effect of the long knife with a straw dam made of straw mats, and vow to last for several days. Dozens of people conduct complex tests, recording the individual evaluation, hit rate, and lethality of each rider who participates in the test.

The strange type of long knife was brushed down in the first round, and the blade was too thick and heavy to be brushed down by the knights, the cavalry did not like to carry too heavy weapons, and the back knife of the infantry was not suitable for the fine operation of the cavalry.

The scimitar cavalry knives were all wiped out, and the straight blade could not withstand the discomfort of holding the knife, and the left and right selected several long knives were surprisingly similar, and at this time, someone suddenly mentioned the figure of the Yanling knife.

The craftsmen woke up like a dream, turned out the graphics that had been abandoned for many days and compared them with the knife, and made slight modifications according to their own understanding, and the cavalry knives made actually had a good appearance, and everyone was dumbfounded.

At the beginning, everyone said that the prince was very capable, and he didn't necessarily know how to work as a blacksmith.

They tried blindly for two months without any improvement, and they had to rely on people to draw a picture to solve the trouble, which one didn't understand the blacksmith style, and which one was bragging.

Lu Buxian didn't dare to look around, for fear that the action would be too big and the prince would be distracted, and he saw the expressions of the blacksmiths stretching their necks to inquire about the news.

It's too embarrassing to say this, and under the request of the blacksmiths, it is not easy to say it, so as not to wipe off the face of his family and be laughed at by the servants and maids in the house.

While he was talking, Lian Ji came out of the blacksmith shop with two knife boxes.

Choke!

The shallow and narrow back of the knife reflected white light, and the Yanling knife in his hand was lighter than expected, and the white light flickered with the shadow of the knife with a slight wave.

"This is a hundred refining knives?"

Lian Ji said proudly: "High-grade iron ore is made of thousands of hammers. ”

Drama Xin's greedy eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands together and looked at the knife, for the assassin the sword is the same, if this knife belongs to him, it will definitely be like a tiger.

"The kid wants one?"

"Uh-huh!"

"You're not qualified enough." Cao Shi smiled and put the Yanling knife into the knife box: "Pack the two knives and send them to the Hou Mansion, and tomorrow I will dedicate this knife to the Son of Heaven." ”

The drama letter pouted and ran away, the best two Yanling knives indicated that they wanted to enter Weiyang Palace, and picked out a thirty refining Yanling knife for him to play, and before leaving, Lu Buxing also instructed him, in case the knife bumped into a bounce, remember to take the waste knife back and recast it.

Lian Ji came to Chang'an City in August last year, followed by his own uncles and uncles, seven aunts and eight aunts hundreds, their family was a famous iron-smelting family in Anyi in the pre-Qin era, not as famous as a few famous sword-casting masters, but in Wei is also a well-known number one person, Qin annihilated the Six Kingdoms to let the remnants of the Six Kingdoms hibernate until the Han Dynasty has restored its former vitality, if it weren't for Lian Ji's luck, Lian Jia and dozens of blacksmiths who are close to him will also make a living in Anyi.

"My father said that the great kindness to the prince should be unforgettable, and I wondered in my heart that I couldn't forget it if my teeth were gone."

Cao Shi thinks Lian Ji is very interesting, and people in their twenties even have wives and children. Still afraid of his father's stick lesson, even if his father no longer beats him, he doesn't dare to forget the beating, and every time he encounters trouble, he instinctively remembers the memory of being beaten.

"You're doing a great job. Most blacksmiths struggle for thirty years is not as good as your progress in three years. ”

Lian Ji shook his head: "But I feel that what I have done is not good enough, and I can create more good things to repay the prince." ”

As he spoke, he ran out with a cigarette, and after a long time he carried a stack of armor leaves, and the silver shining armor exuded a terrifying light.

"It's ......"

Lu Buxian was dumbfounded.

It was clearly the blades of the hammered armor.

"Put it away and talk about it in the house." Cao Shi turned around and walked out silently.

Lian Ji looked dazed: "Why do you want to go to the house?" ”

Lu Buxian raised his foot and kicked on his buttocks, and the dark anger was that this bastard had water in his head, and Lian Ji was wronged. Holding the box, he limped to the room at the end of the blacksmith's workshop.

When you open the door, you will be greeted by shocking miscellaneous objects, from bamboo slips and wooden slabs to paper. From all kinds of strange ore specimens, to the new metals, from crystal magnifying glasses to small abacus, a long case is placed with tweezers, hammers, iron tongs and other strange tools. It looks more like some hands-on real yàn room.

Huge room. There was only one path for one foot to walk on, and apart from the desks and desks on either side of the circle chair, only a bed in the corner was relatively clean.

Cao Shi was speechless about his room, which at first glance looked like a sloppy young man in his teens, but who would have thought that this place was Lu Buxi's usual office and at the same time the temporary residence of this scientific madman.

"Sorry! The room is a little messy, and I am usually busy with work and don't have time to clean it up, and no one comes to my snail's house. Lu Buxian carefully walked through the pile of debris, and his body was dexterous. It's like a chubby light master, like the cursive handwriting of a dragon and a snake. In the blink of an eye, it actually got through.

"It just so happens that I have an old friend who is a perennial businessman, and he specially brought a lot of fresh tea from Changsha Kingdom, and I found it for the prince to taste...... Hey? Where did the tea box go? Lu Buxian looked in circles for a long time but didn't find it, Cao Shi wanted him to clean up the messy room before talking, after all, there was still a Lian Ji holding a wooden box outside the door.

Suddenly, Lu Buxi turned his head and shouted, "Ah Huang! You must have taken my tea box in your mouth! ”

I saw a yellow figure at the door of the room fleeing, and Lu Buxiao twisted his fat body like a gust of wind and rushed out, I don't know when there was an extra feather duster in his hand, and the chic tossing and turning was really a bit of a light master.

Whoa!

Outside the house there was a dog barking, and then the dog barked as if it was screaming in a hurry, and after a while it was quiet.

Lu Buxian hugged the tea box wolf bèi and came unbearably: "I'm sorry Junhou, there was a little accident that Ah Huang took away the tea box, and the tea won't be brewed for you." ”

"It's okay, I'm not thirsty." Cao Shi vaguely saw the traces of the tea box being bitten.

Lian Ji said stupidly: "I saw Ah Huang going out with that thing in the morning, and I wanted to remind the Lu family supervisor." ”

"You bastard, why didn't you say it earlier?"

"I forgot to eat lunch."

"How do you remember to eat?"

"I remember because I was hungry."

An old man and a young man stared and quarreled, or Lu Buxian was playing the piano with Lian Ji.

"Let's stop and tell me what's going on with this nail leaf."

"Oh! This is when I usually graduate students of iron sheets, pig iron has high hardness and poor toughness, and it is easy to break when making long-edged weapons, and it is usually only made into short knives or daggers. ”

There was silence in the room.

Lu Buxian was not scared lightly, if he really made a new armor, the Han law stipulates that no matter whether you are rich or low, you are not allowed to hide armor shields, soldiers, chariots, and crossbows outside the arsenal, and Lian Ji actually made a half-finished armor leaf, how can he not be surprised.

"Don't you know that you have violated the Han Law?"

Lian Ji shook his head.

"The Han law stipulates that it is a big sin to hide armor, and it is even more difficult to make armor, once the head is revealed, you must move, are you afraid?"

Lian Ji showed a frightened expression, and after a while, he shook his head firmly: "For the sake of the prince, I am not afraid." ”

Cao Shi was completely speechless.

Lu Buxian covered his head and looked helpless. He wanted to open his head to see if it was water or horse urine.

Lian Ji was recommended by him, and he can't be responsible for it. Even if Han Law abolishes the joint sitting system, if Lian Ji's head moves, the responsibility of recommending Lu Buharm will not be very light.

"Tiaohou Zhou Yafu, because he secretly possessed 500 sets of armor shields at home, he was unjustly killed in the Tingwei Prison, how many heads do you have to cut off! The next time you create a new weapon, you must notify you in advance before you can make it, otherwise I won't protect you. Cao Shi scolded.

"What to do with this armor?"

"Keep it up. Until the finished product is baked and sent to the Hou Mansion immediately, I will dedicate it to the Son of Heaven. ”

Sunset.

The blacksmith was still clanging on the way home. Cao Shi's mood was still not calm, he was sure that he was not mistaken, that kind of nail leaf shape was like the real thing on the mural.

It was a mural that he had seen in the places he had visited, and the figures in the paintings were wearing such armor. The name of that armor is called Mingguang Armor.

It is connected by a piece of mortise and tenon. It is divided into two styles: the chest with heart guards and the whole body armor without heart guards, and the one made by Lian Ji is a non-heart shield type, purely for the armor pieces to be connected to improve defense, and the silver shining iron armor is as bright as its name.

Facing the sunset, there was no shortage of talented people in ancient times, but they were limited by the limitations of the times and did not have a long-term vision.

Maybe it's his luck. It's like being blessed in the dark.

Tai One God blessed?

Cao Shi smiled and shook his head: "If the craft is good, you must first sharpen its tools!" Maybe I should have put the study of weapons and armor on the agenda earlier. ”

Uncle Chen lived in the Pingyang Hou Mansion for more than ten days. Cao Shi persuaded the old man in the house for more than ten days, so that he could talk about coercion and temptation, and he tried all his methods to persuade the old man.

At first, Uncle Chen's will was resolute and he didn't want to cause trouble to the prince and princess, until Cao Shi threatened to transfer Chen Zhang back to the Hou Mansion, and the old man understood that his stay was related to Chen Zhang's future, and he reluctantly accepted the arrangement.

"Yuan Chong went to the Longxi Plateau to explore, at present, the affairs of the Hou Mansion are more than a dozen family supervisors to deal with it, it is very inconvenient, you are lacking in the middle of the scheduling and proper arrangement, with you in the Hou Mansion in front of the Dinghai Shen Needle, I can relax in the backyard with peace of mind."

Uncle Chen's face was full of embarrassment: "The gentleman is gracious, and the old servant is only respectful and obedient." ”

This year, the flood season in the summer came earlier than in previous years, and the rain in Guanzhong was also unusually abundant.

The Son of Heaven's mind was still on the two Yanling knives, and he didn't care much about disaster prevention measures, so he waved his hand and ordered Dou Ying to be solely responsible for disaster prevention and relief.

"Initiate your majesty, the academy in the south of the city needs to recruit more conscription, please allow a new conscription order."

Prime Minister Xu Chang was surprised: "Do you want to be forced again?" The conscription in the south of the city has been increased to 100,000, how many more conscriptions does Shaofu plan to add? ”

"Another 100,000 people is almost enough."

"200,000 people in total, what are you going to build with so much manpower?"

Cao Shi said: "In order to build a Taixue, a school that is far away from the palace, in order to let the world's students go to Chang'an City to study, His Majesty Xià served as the honorary sacrificial wine of Taixue, and the heroes of the world are all muffled by the Son of Heaven, and they can take the world's heroes into the world." ”

The Son of Heaven Liu Chele couldn't close his mouth, he liked to listen to such good things, compared to the stereotypical Three Princes and Nine Qing or Cao Shi was considerate, and teaching the world's heroes sounded very emotional.

Xu Chang wanted to open his mouth several times, but after thinking about it, he decided not to speak, he didn't agree with the Taixue plan in his heart, it was not cost-effective to waste money and waste money, if this project had not broken ground as early as the beginning of the year when Wei Juan was the prime minister, he would definitely jump out to oppose this project.

He somewhat understood Wei Juan's complicated mood at that time, and there was a powerful Jiuqing under him who didn't listen to the greetings, and often threw out a controversial bill on the court to make trouble for him.

The biggest difference between the two prime ministers is that Wei Juan has the intention to be a veritable prime minister with real power, Xu Chang has no such idea, even if he has a similar idea, he is unable to implement it, and there are few people in the three princes and nine ministers who listen to him, and the princes with the name of the secretary on his head are even more Shaofu Cao Shima.

After retreating from the dynasty, Xu Chang left with a black face.

The Lords were a few steps behind and each looked for his own circle.

The lord Du Wei Wang asked without harm: "Is there no problem that the Shaofu does not greet the prime minister?" ”

"What's the problem? The industry that his family operates in Bashu, the caravan of the border county, and the input of Hehuang, so little of the protection of the meritorious princes? If he can't think of taking Wei Juan's old path, then let him go. Cao Shi said indifferently.

Daxing Ling Huan Xian said: "After all, it is a friend and not an enemy, it shouldn't be like this, it is necessary to communicate more." ”

"I want to listen to him in my position, in fact, he has to respect my opinions, there is no difference between the two of us, no one will rob him when he is his prime minister, I do what I should do, whether to ventilate him or not is not the main contradiction."

Shangqing nodded, Cao Shi's character has always been like this, it is impossible to expect him to make sacrifices to take into account the overall situation, or to lose face and bow his head to admit defeat, Wei Juan's downfall lies in misestimating Cao Shi's determination, thinking that he would not be so ruthless, but his family was turned upside down to find a bunch of flaws, and almost killed several Shangqing on the spot.

Xu Chang is not stupid, and he has witnessed the whole process of Wei Juan's downfall, and he will not be stupid enough to clash with him, at most, he will feel uncomfortable and go back to sulk for a few days.

Tingwei Tian Wei cautiously passed by the crowd, listened to the discussions of several people in the slightest, and quietly calculated how to maximize his own interests.

After thinking about it for a long time, I felt that it was still a bit too much, Cao Shi was by no means a person who could be defeated, he had to continue to put away his minions and press his mind to lurk, and wait patiently for the next opportunity to come. (To be continued!)
