"Usha Tie!" Listening to the old blacksmith's words, Liu Wei frowned slightly.

He had already heard that Wusha was produced in the Western Regions, and he had long had the idea of letting people go to the Western Regions to buy Wusha, but as soon as the troubled times began, this matter was put on hold, and now the old blacksmith mentioned it, and it reminded him of this matter that had to be solved.

"Wang Liu!" Looking at the blacksmith who was busy next to the blacksmith platform, Liu Wei turned his head and said to Wang Liu behind him: "Borrow your long sword for the king's use!" ”

"No!" Although he didn't know why Liu Wei wanted to use her long sword, Wang Liu still responded, untied the long sword from his waist, held it in both hands, and handed it to Liu Wei.

Taking the long sword, Liu Wei slowly pulled out the sword from its scabbard, put it straight in front of him, and asked the old blacksmith beside him, "What does the old man think of this sword?" ”

"Good sword!" As soon as Liu Bian's words fell, the old man's eyes flashed with extraordinary excitement, looking at the sword in Liu Bian's hand, he licked his lips and said to Liu Bian: "The sword body has clear lines, like flowing water, and it is a good sword at a glance!" ”

"Take it and take a look!" Handing the long sword in his hand to the old blacksmith, Liu Wei asked him, "Can you create a batch of these long swords before Wusha sends them in batches?" ”

Taking the long sword from Liu Wei's hand, the old blacksmith first stroked the sword with his rough palm, then flexed his fingers and flicked it lightly.

He didn't play very hard, but the long sword still trembled slightly, making a "buzzing" sound.

Hearing this sound, the old man shook his head with a smile and said to Liu Wei: "Although the sword made by Wusha is hard and sharp, it is no more than ordinary iron. This sword is a spiritual thing, how does mortal iron compare to a spiritual sword? This sword can be encountered but not sought, if such a long sword can be created in this life, even if it is an instant death, Xiaomin has no regrets. ”

Retracting the long sword and handing it back to Wang Liu, Liu Wei pulled a smile on the corner of his mouth and asked the old blacksmith: "Then does the old man know what he needs to use to forge this sword?" ”

"I don't know about this!" The old man shook his head and said to Liu Wei: "Since ancient times, if a sword-maker creates a long sword with spirituality, he will definitely not make the materials used public, and it is precisely because of this that there are very few spiritual swords. ”

"If this king gives the old man time, the old man will discuss with the craftsmen in the market, can this sword be developed?" Although the old blacksmith made it clear that it was impossible to make a sword of the same quality as the long sword in Wang Liu's hand, Liu Wei still held on to a glimmer of hope and asked the old blacksmith a question.

Seeing Liu Bian's face full of anticipation, the old blacksmith couldn't bear to tell him the cruel truth, but he knew in his heart that he couldn't talk to Liu Bian, so he hugged his fists and bowed down, and said to Liu Bian: "Xiaomin is really incapable of waiting!" ”

The old blacksmith's answer completely cut off Liu Wei's thoughts.

Shaking his head in disappointment, Liu Biancai said to the old blacksmith: "In this way, this king has no choice but to gather merchants from the Western Regions and purchase a large number of Wusha from the Western Regions to forge the best mortal iron!" ”

After saying this, Liu Wei nodded to the old blacksmith and said to him: "Old man, you are busy, this king is leaving!" ”

Liu Wei left the blacksmith shop, and the old blacksmith and the blacksmiths in the shop sent him, Wang Liu, Wang Zhen and others to the door, knelt on the ground and sent them off, until Liu Bian's back disappeared into the corner of the street, and then returned to the shop.

Leaving the blacksmith shop, the pedestrians in the market have gradually increased.

While walking along the market, Liu Wei looked towards the roadside on both sides.

On both sides of the road, many shops are already open, and outside the door, there are also many vendors shouting and selling.

Recently, Liu Wei often left the palace and led Wang Liu and others to walk in the market, and the people were already surprised by his appearance, and Liu Wei had ordered the people to see that he did not need to deliberately bow down, and they were busy with their own livelihoods, so when he walked on the street, the people only saluted him, and no one knelt down.

"The market is a bit messy!" Riding a horse, while walking along the street, Liu Wei looked at the vendors setting up stalls on both sides of the road, and said to Wang Liu, who followed behind: "If there are more vendors in the future, it is inevitable that they will not occupy the road, and it will be quite inconvenient for people to walk again." ”

"There are more and more vendors right now." Following behind Liu Bian, Wang Zhen also turned his head to look at both sides of the street, and whispered to Liu Bian: "Two days ago, there were still hawkers and shopkeepers arguing, just because the stalls occupied the main entrance of the store. ”

"That's a bit too much!" Liu Wei smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, and asked them, "Do you two think that how to rectify it is appropriate?" ”

"It's all about making a living!" Liu Biao proposed to clean up the street, Wang Liu hesitated for a moment, and then said to Liu Bian: "It is not easy for the people to support their families, and it is not ......."

"No matter what, but no!" Before Wang Liu's words fell, Liu Wei said to him with a smile: "But if anyone makes the people have no way out to support their families, this king will definitely cut off his head, so that he knows that in this king's heart, the people are the foundation that can never be replaced!" ”

"Then ...... Your Highness?" Listening to Liu Bian's seemingly contradictory words, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen glanced at each other, and Wang Zhen asked Liu Wei with some hesitation: "How should we rectify the streets in the city?" ”

"Look!" Raising his hand and pointing to both sides of the street, Liu Wei said to Wang Liu and Wang Zhen: "On both sides of the street, the road surface is also quite spacious, allowing people to plan out the area, and the hawkers are not allowed to set up stalls out of the area, so that it will not affect the operation of the merchants, block the doors of the merchants, and will not cut off the way of life of the hawkers. ”

"Your Highness is thoughtful!" Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, who were walking behind Liu Bian, said the disposal method as soon as Liu Biao just raised his hand, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart, and hurriedly praised Liu Bian.

As they were marching, before everyone turned the corner of the street, Liu Wei heard a commotion in front of him.

Hearing someone arguing, Liu Wei turned his head and glanced behind him, and Wang Liu and Wang Zhen, who were following him, also pouted, not knowing what was happening in front of him.

"Check it out!" Knowing that if he arrived at the scene, the noisy people would definitely stop arguing, so Liu Wei gave an order to one of the guards who followed behind.

The guard got the order, and hurriedly rode his horse onto another street, and after a while, he turned back, clasped his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, there is a merchant and a hawker arguing ahead, just because the hawker's stall occupies the main entrance of the merchant. ”

"I'm still talking about it!" Turning his head to Wang Liu and Wang Zhen and smiling slightly, Liu Wei shook the reins, gently clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, and rode his horse towards the street where the quarrel came.

"Your Highness is here!" As soon as Liu Wei's figure appeared on that street, someone immediately shouted.

If, as Liu Wei expected, the merchants and hawkers who were still holding each other by the collar before, and seeing that they were about to fight, heard that he was coming, they all stopped and stood aside, if it wasn't for the news, Liu Wei didn't even know that they were arguing just now.

The two noisy men, the one on the left, were dressed in the deep clothes of ordinary people, which, though very new, were made of linen; The man on the right was wearing a silk coat, although the quality of the silk was not very good, but it was not something that ordinary people could afford to wear.

From the outfits of the two, you can see at a glance which of the two of them is a hawker who sets up a stall on the street to make a living, and which one is a shopkeeper who opens a shop on the road.

Walking slowly to the two people who had quarreled just now, Liu Wei rode on horseback and looked at the two from head to toe with a cold face, and then asked the two: "Why are you two arguing in the market?" ”

Originally, I thought that Liu Wei didn't know that they were arguing in the market, but when they heard Liu Wei ask like this, the two of them suddenly weakened their legs, and quickly knelt on the ground, trembling all over, but none of them opened their mouths to answer Liu Bian's question.

"You!" Carrying a horsewhip, he pointed to the vendor kneeling on his left and asked, "Why are you making noise in the market?" ”

Being forced to ask by Liu Bian, the peddler was already trembling with fright, but since Liu Biao asked, he didn't dare not answer, knelt on the ground, his lips trembled, and stammered: "Go back...... Back to Your Highness...... Your Highness's words, little ...... Small-man ...... on the side of the street Pendulum...... Set up a stall, he ...... He won't let it! ”

After listening to the hawker's words, Liu Wei turned his head to look at the shopkeeper on the side and asked the shopkeeper, "Why didn't you let him set up a stall?" ”

When Liu Wei asked this, the shopkeeper only thought that he was going to speak for the hawker, and he was already in a trembling situation, and said tremblingly: "Xiaomin...... The small people know their mistakes, and then ...... Don't dare anymore! ”

"This king is just asking you, why don't you let him set up a stall?" Frowning slightly, looking at the shopkeeper kneeling on the ground, Liu Wei asked again.

There were many onlookers, and when they saw that the king of Luoyang personally judged right and wrong on the street, nearby shops and vendors all gathered around, and they all looked forward to seeing how Liu Wei decided.

He ...... He blocked the small people...... Shop Door! Under Liu Wei's questioning, the shopkeeper trembled and replied tremblingly.

"It's all about begging for a living!" After listening to the shopkeeper's words, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth, raised his hand to the two people kneeling on the ground, and said to the two: "Is there anything that can't be discussed?" Do you have to do it? Get up both! ”

Although Liu Wei asked them to get up, the frightened two people were weak in their legs, and they couldn't stand up for a while, but the people on the side supported them before they stood up trembling.

"Take a step forward and get out of the store!" When the two of them stood up, Liu Wei, who was riding on horseback, raised his hand and pointed to the stall, and said to the vendor: "In the future, don't block the door of another store." In the same way, if someone stops you in front of your stall, you will be equally angry. ”

"As for you!" After counting the vendor, Liu Wei then pointed to the shopkeeper on the side, and said to the shopkeeper: "The stall is blocking the door of the store, so let's discuss, let him move half a cent, why be so angry?" ”
