The reason why Fu Yanqing dared to collect such a high tax was actually because for the cultivator, even seventy percent of the grain handed over to her could live well, and the slightly more difficult ones were probably ordinary city citizens without any skills.

Of course, Fu Yanqing can give a certain subsidy to these city residents.

And at this time, a good news came, the first batch of steel was finally refined.

The joy in Fu Yanqing's heart can be imagined, with steel, she can do even more. In order to be sure, she hurried over, just to see the situation of the steel with her own eyes.

The result was really refined, Fu Yanqing said yes in a row, and found a craftsman to start building weapons.

However, the weapon created by Fu Yanqing is also simple, that is, the big knife. She just wanted to test the power of this batch of steel first, and she hadn't thought about the specific weapon yet.

But these craftsmen have been working for so many years, in fact, they can basically achieve Fu Yanqing's goal without Fu Yanqing saying anything.

A steel knife appeared in front of Fu Yanqing like this, and it was still the kind that opened the edge.

Everyone only knew that Fu Yanqing asked them to temper it repeatedly, but they didn't know what they wanted to refine.

But now when they saw Fu Yanqing holding this steel knife, they immediately figured it out. It turns out that they have been tossing for so long for this steel knife in the hands of the city lord?

This knife looks Chinese really different from ordinary steel knives. I just don't know, is it really as surprising as the city lord expected?

"Now that this divine knife has arrived, why don't you give it a try, how is this knife?" Someone couldn't help but say.

Fu Yanqing glanced at the man, who was the deputy head of the district. However, Fu Yanqing could also understand, so Fu Yanqing simply tried it in front of everyone to see how powerful the new steel knife he had just gotten was.

"Bring me a piece of iron." Fu Yanqing said.

Although I didn't know why, I still took a piece of iron.

When Fu Yanqing put the iron in front of him, some people couldn't help but think in their hearts, could the city lord be whimsical and want to use this knife in her hand to cut iron!?

But even if the city lord really did this, the knife in her hand should probably not be able to withstand it.

Of course, there was excitement in the eyes of many more people.

They've only heard of the sharpened weapon, but who has ever seen it? The most important thing is that this knife is actually from the hands of an unknown craftsman, and you can imagine how shocking it would have been if it were true.

"Now it's time to witness the miracle!" Fu Yanqing paraphrased the classic words of a magician in his previous life.

Steel knife against iron stone!

Jump!

It cracked, and the iron and stone were cut into several pieces, and it was right before everyone's eyes. And everyone was already convinced, and they all looked at Fu Yanqing with fiery eyes. The attraction of such weapons to them is fanatical.

Sharpened weapons are no longer legends, but they have witnessed them with their own eyes.

"Really, it's true." Who else is not shocked at this moment? After all, the fact that such iron should be steel has been placed in front of everyone's eyes.

Now they want to figure out even more, what the hell do they need to get such a weapon? If you have such a weapon, then your own safety can be guaranteed to a certain extent.

The reason why Fu Yanqing didn't hide it from these people was to let them know that she could make such a weapon that was as sharp as clay, and it would be more beneficial to follow her than to betray her.

"I know you'll be tempted when you see a weapon like this, but there aren't many of them that can be created right now. Therefore, we must equip the armor first, and as long as you perform well, I will prepare a real weapon for everyone. ”

Everyone knows that what Fu Yanqing said is the truth, besides, they have just created the first weapon in Yancheng, and there will definitely be more in the future. At that time, they naturally don't have to worry about the way to get such a weapon, and in that case, it doesn't matter if they wait a little longer.

However, it didn't prevent them from wanting to try the power of this knife now, not to see Fu Yanqing use it, but to use it themselves.

For such a small request, Fu Yanqing naturally agreed without saying a word. After all, it's not that hard to do, is it?

It may be the first time to hold such a knife, and it feels really new to everyone.

"What's the matter with you? How can you point the tip of a knife at me? "They have already witnessed the strength of this knife just now, so a flesh and blood body like them, needless to say, knows that it must not be able to carry it.

Even though the man with the knife was spoken, he still had a smile on his face.

"No way, I'm really nervous. This knife is in my hand, and it really excites me. Then he learned Fu Yanqing's words and shouted: "Now is the time to witness the miracle." It's a pity that his knife went down and cut crookedly, and the iron didn't cut it. But the stone below was split open at once.

But it also proves that this steel knife is indeed extraordinary.

By the time everyone present had taken it and tried it, nearly half an hour had passed. It's just that everyone looks like they can't get enough of it, and they can't wait to continue.

Thinking that in the future, the armor of Yancheng will be able to be equipped with such a knife, presumably the stability of Yancheng must be even stronger.

Of course, some people thought of other places, "City Lord, we Yancheng have obtained such a divine weapon, and we must not be known by outsiders, otherwise we will be guilty." ”

Fu Yanqing naturally knew that this person was right, this steel knife really can't be known yet. However, at present, these steels can only be refined by themselves.

As for other people, it is not easy to refine steel like themselves, at least they don't know how the steel is refined.

Even these people who specialize in refining don't even feel the pattern, they just know that they are constantly filtering and then heating.

It seems to be very simple, but they can't filter this process, so for now, there is no need to worry.

"Let everyone hurry up a little bit and get a little more steel like this, we must create our own weapons as soon as possible, so that we can have the ability to resist in the face of the next beast tide."

Don't look at the last beast tide has passed, but Fu Yanqing believes that it shouldn't be long before the next beast tide arrives, so she must prepare in advance.
