210 is full of problems

The Iron Soldier was instructed by Zhan Xiaobai and began to prepare to mint copper coins in the blacksmith shop. Li Asan took a mason and dozens of peasants and began digging a cellar in a remote courtyard in the village, preparing to build a high-security underground mint, and when the cellar was dug a day, all the craftsmen and tools could be transferred to it.

There are all kinds of iron-making tools in the blacksmith's shop, and it is not a big problem to use them to make copper. It took half a day's work for the Iron Soldier to make a copper smelting furnace, which was actually like a small cauldron, not big. In the warehouse of Xiaobai Village, there are more than ten catties of copper ingots brought back by Zhan Xiaobai, which can be used for casting.

After everything was ready, the Iron Soldier called a few NPC craftsmen who were the first to join Xiaobai Village and had high loyalty, such as Tiemu One, Iron Two, and Iron Three, to start smelting copper.

Tiemu 1, Tie 2, and Tie 3 have been striking iron for a long time, and they have already been senior blacksmiths just like Iron Soldiers. After upgrading to a high-level blacksmith, you can no longer break through to a higher level.

Tie Muyi held a copper ingot and said strangely: "Master, we are blacksmiths, how can we refine copper?" Doing this work doesn't increase the experience of blacksmith skills. And we don't have the skills and experience to cast bronze, so we can't do anything. It's better to let the coppersmith do it. ”

Tie Er and Tie San were also suspicious, and some were reluctant to do this job.

Tie Dabing glared at them, and shouted solemnly: "This is the order of the village elder, you can do whatever you want, why do you ask so much?!" Is there a coppersmith in our village now? Don't be wordy. The first one, you add materials, put copper, and discharge slag in the crucible, the second makes a fire and controls the fire, and the third comes to stir the copper juice. I'm in my own hands! ”

The three of them were taken aback, shrunk their heads, and hurried to get to work. After a long time, the copper ingots in the crucible began to melt, turning into hot and red juice. Tiemu intermittently threw broken copper into it, stirring.

The copper melted, and the Iron Soldier took out the mold, scooped up the copper with a spoon, and slowly poured it into the coinage mold. It took a few minutes to fill it, and when I put the mold into a bucket of clean water, there was a burst of mist and smoke in the sizzling sound. Wait for the mold to cool down a little, and after a short while, the mold is removed.

The Iron Soldier opened the mold and poured it out.

"Whoa."

A small pile of glittering yellow coins, in front of the four. Tiemu's apprentices' eyes suddenly widened and they were dumbfounded.

Even the Iron Soldier himself, although he had already prepared in his heart, was inexplicably surprised to see that he had minted these coins with his own hands, and an indescribable excitement and excitement welled up in his heart. This feeling is stronger than when he first became a blacksmith.

Tie San threw the clay stick that stirred the copper juice, picked up a coin, put it in his mouth and bit it, had a toothache, and exclaimed: "Copper coin~, this can't be a copper coin, right?!" He shouted in surprise, "Master, it turns out that we are minting copper coins!" Oh my God, master, we're going to mint so many copper coins at once! After refining for a few days, it's not like the room is full of copper coins, and it's a fortune! ”

The Iron Soldier nodded again and again, and Lao Huai laughed. This copper coin can be successfully minted in his hands, and he is a great hero of Xiaobai Village. Later, when the villagers talked about the copper coins of Xiaobai Village, everyone praised him for his high ability.

Tekiichi was also very excited, and he flipped over and over with a copper coin, and suddenly he realized that something was not quite right with the copper coin. Although the size is the same as that of a real copper coin, a closer look shows that the "color" is not quite the same as that of a real copper coin. He took out a real copper coin from his pocket, and compared it, there was a slight difference, the real coin had a bit of cyan, but this copper coin was pure yellow. If you don't look closely, you really can't see it.

He hesitated to the other three NPCs in ecstasy, and said, "Master, two junior brothers, there is something wrong with this copper coin, what we minted seems to be different from the real copper coin." ”

A basin of cold water was suddenly poured on the three Iron Soldiers in ecstasy, and they suddenly became nervous.

"No, is it wrong?"

"The minting was unsuccessful?"

Tie Bing's face changed, and he hurriedly took out the copper coin to see, he was now a little dizzy and couldn't see clearly. He put the copper coin in his pocket. The copper coin did not enter his digital account, but ended up in his backpack - copper coin [fake], 1 piece. This time, the iron soldier saw clearly. Also stunned, counterfeit money?

He hurriedly inspected the small pile of copper coins one by one, and Tie Mu I, Tie II, and Tie III also helped.

Soon, they all checked every copper coin and found that the pile was counterfeit, and none of them were genuine.

This discovery made them very frustrated one by one.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a fake copper coin, such a fake copper coin can be easily recognized by others, and it cannot be used at all.

Tie San was stunned and asked in frustration, "Master, what should I do?" Still casting not? ”

The iron soldiers are also six gods and no masters, and now they are in a hurry! He personally promised to mint copper coins, but what he didn't expect to get was a bunch of counterfeit coins.

Tie Er shook his head and said regretfully: "It seems that only a coppersmith can mint this copper coin, we are all blacksmiths, where did we mint it!" ”

Tie San said: "But there is no coppersmith in our village, so why just wait!" Wait until there is a coppersmith to cast? ”

Temuyi suggested: "Master, it may be that we have made a mistake in our 'operation'. Why don't we try again? If that doesn't work, we're thinking of other options. ”

Tie Bing thought for a while, and there was only this method of Tiemuyi, and said to the three of them: "Okay, come again, try it a few more times, and see if you can make it." ”

The four of them continued to smelt copper ingots and mint copper coins.

After refining more than ten crucibles of copper juice in a row, trying different refining methods, heat, and water temperature, it was useless, and all the coins created were still counterfeit. Now they are really out of line, the copper ingots have cost one-fifth, and they haven't found any breakthrough yet.

Tie Dabing came to the administrative compound to find Zhan Xiaobai, and with a ashamed face, he told him the news of the failure of the coinage.

Zhan Xiaobai was stunned, he didn't expect this result.

He asked, "Oh, failed?" What is the reason? Is it that you can't make it? ”

Tie Dabing shook his head, took out more than a dozen copper coins [fake] and handed them to Zhan Xiaobai, and said very sadly, "Lord, I don't know what the reason is." I was unskilled enough to mint a good copper coin. My three apprentices and I have repeatedly minted it more than ten times, and it is still the same, all of which are counterfeit coins. This kind of counterfeit money is so obvious that it can be found to be fake at a glance and cannot be used. ”

Zhan Xiaobai wondered, can't! Didn't the village of 80 mint a lot of genuine coins? How could it be that it couldn't be cast in his hands. He took a handful of copper coins from the Iron Soldier's hand. I took out another real copper coin and compared it. Khan, the difference in "color" is indeed quite obvious, the counterfeit coin is pure yellow, and the real copper coin is blue.

This is obviously a mistake in composition, and the genuine coin has added other ingredients besides copper. As for what composition and what proportion, Zhan Xiaobai is not clear, it is likely to be other minerals such as tin and lead.

He saw that Tie Bing was very depressed, and couldn't help but smile comfortingly and said: "Brother Tie, don't be discouraged, the color of this copper coin is wrong, it should be caused by the ingredients used not meeting the specifications, not your skills." This matter is not in a hurry anyway, you go back to the deputy village elder Li first, and ask him to find a little tin and lead ore from the warehouse for you, add it to give it a try, and see the effect. If you can't make it, then wait until you recruit a coppersmith. Also, you have to pay special attention to confidentiality and security, and don't leak this matter to ordinary villagers. ”

Tie Dabing suddenly came to his senses, yes, this must be a problem with the formula, why didn't he think of this, it is still the lord who is powerful! "Thank you for the reminder, I'll give it a try right away." He hurriedly retired and asked Li Asan for ore.

Zhan Xiaobai saw him coming and going in a hurry, shook his head with a smile, and continued to do what he hadn't finished just now.

He was cleaning out the contents of the vault.

This time he went to Wuwei and then to Luoyang, and he was thinking about what items to bring. Gifts are certainly indispensable. The vast majority of NPC court officials almost have a habit - receiving gifts. From ministers and bureaucrats to guards guarding the door, there is almost no use for a bad one.

Not to mention anything else, the gift of Wuwei County Taishou must be sent. People recommended him as filial piety, and according to the ancient rules, he was also half a student of the Taishou of Wuwei County. It is absolutely necessary to have a good relationship with Wuwei Taishou.

It is said that this Wuwei Taishou is very wealthy.

Zhan Xiaobai was thinking about it, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the scroll of the Book of Heaven in a corner of the secret vault. The book of heaven was still lying quietly in a corner of the secret vault.

Zhan Xiaobai sighed slightly in his heart, this priceless thing could lie in his secret vault for a long time, and it was never used.

He picked it up and looked at it, thinking to himself that maybe he could learn it now.

Use!

Ding Dong, a prompt: "The final volume of the thirty-six volumes of the Book of Heaven "Jiazi", with a skill. The learning requirements are level 30, quality and tranquility. You do not possess the quality of tranquility, and you are not yet up to the requirements to learn the skills of the Heavenly Book. ”

Depend on! Damn serene quality, this thing knows how to get it.

Zhan Xiaobai immediately threw it into the corner of the secret vault.

That night, Jian Ba handed him a stack of materials, which included the list of all the players who were recommended as filial piety in the thirteen states and counties of the country.

The list is too large,

Zhan Xiaobai only glanced at the player characters in Liangzhou, and was stunned at a glance.

Wuwei County Xiaolian: Xiaobai, Warring States World, Blue Devil Tears. (Player)

The Warring States World was selected, and he didn't find it strange.

But this Blue Devil Tear is not the village chief, but the leader of a gang organization.

Zhan Xiaobai wondered: "Blue Devil tears? ...... Isn't he the helper, why did he come in? ”

Jian Ba smiled flatly and said, "Blue Devil Tears, the number one master in Liangzhou, the leader of the first powerful gang in Wuwei City." More than 8% of the players in Wuwei City are in his gang. The official position is eight products, and he serves as a hundred generals of the Wuwei Infantry Battalion. One more important point...... He is the righteous brother of the sword like madness. Xiaobai, this Wuwei City, I'm afraid it's not so easy to walk. ”

Zhan Xiaobai frowned. It seems that he doesn't need to go to Luoyang yet, this martial arts alone is enough to give him a headache.
