Chapter Forty-Eight: Baggage

When Gu Hong saw his knife again, it was already a perfect masterpiece. Yes, a 100% masterpiece, they arrived at the workshop, but Xin Kun was not there, Xin Ye was making the final decoration of the knife,

Gu Hong couldn't see anything else, and pulled the knife over. I was really excited to tears, as Xin Kun said, this is a masterpiece. There is also a cowhide back-mounted scabbard. Therefore, this knife is used on the back. On his back, he could pull the knife out with a single stretch of his hand.

It was a horse chopping knife with a handle about a foot long and no gauntlets. As mentioned earlier, Western sabers are slender and have handguards on the handles, and there are many variants of Chinese-style sabers.

For example, in the Kangxi period, there were several sections of horse chopping knives. The section represents the length of the handle, one section is about three inches, and there was a three-section chopping knife in the Kangxi era. However, the knife surface below is not a regular slender one, but the appearance of a ghost-headed knife.

Xin Kun and they restored the knife, but Xin Kun didn't like that look very much, the wide square opening in front of it, not that the lethality of the wide blade was necessarily greater than the narrow one, on the contrary, they tried, the wide knife has a certain advantage over the slender knife in cutting people's bodies, but the problem is that they are on the battlefield, where it is not faster than who cuts people's wounds, but who cuts people.

Yes, on the battlefield, it's about fast in and fast out. As I said before, the blood groove of the Mongolian saber is well opened, why, because the blood groove puts air into the wound, so that the tip of the knife can be easily pulled out. Broad-slice knives do not have this advantage and sometimes get stuck in the bone.

So Xin Kun hit the traditional saber style this time, but it was slightly wider than the traditional long knife. There are two slender blood grooves in the Mongolian style on the back of the knife, but the back of the knife is Western-style, with a slight curvature. The club has done experiments, and it is really more convenient for scimitars to kill people in close quarters, and the curvature of Japanese-style long knives is actually very scientific......

All in all, this knife is a concentration of the strengths of all families, and the length and width of the handle and blade are the best way to calculate according to Gu Hong's height, hand length, and even back length, and of course, the weight, for him, this weight is the most comfortable for him.

It was precisely in this way that Gu Hong felt that when he got it in his hand, he had the same heart as this knife. There is no common heart, just because of all kinds of suitability.

Of course, when Gu Hong was excitedly trying the knife, Guo Shen and Guo Peng, who were following him, just glanced at it quietly and withdrew.

Of course, Guo Shen's father and son still glanced at the knife a few more times. They came directly from the main road, and they just heard from Xin Ye that Xin Kun was in the ground, and now they want to see the person who played this kind of magic weapon.

Xin Kun is in the ground, and these days, she has been working hard to water the ground, and then turning it every five days. She didn't know if more ploughing could make the land fertile, and she also knew that there was a word called 'too much'.

Even if the whole village was storing water, there was still too little water to be watered through. Otherwise, why is it now that she is watering in the middle of the night? It was getting hotter and hotter, and she was afraid that she would not pour it, so she evaporated the water.

And Xin Whale was next to Xin Kun at this time, and when Xin Kun asked him to help ask the whole village to help store water, he didn't think so. But he still secretly paid attention. Later, when he found out that the young master who lived in the Xin family actually helped Xin Kun water every night, he felt that he should come out to help.

But where the young master is, he can't get over it at all. Waiting for the young master to leave, he will come out, but he is not as good as Xin Kun, pick a water, and he can sprinkle all the water on the old-fashioned road in the village.

Xin Kun didn't point at him anymore, he carried it himself every day, and poured it himself, Xin Whale was a little embarrassed, but he didn't stop Xin Whale from following him.

Xin Whale didn't know why he was following Xin Kun, maybe he also wanted to know what Xin Kun was thinking. A piece of land that already belongs to the family, why should you be so concerned.

He even went into the workshop, and no one stopped him from entering, and he saw that everyone was hard at work, including the distant cousin who was still watering in the middle of the night.

The thin body, holding the hammer he could hold and striking on a large piece of iron, he was striking hard and intently, as if it were all his own.

At this time, he looked at the blackened but still dry land, Xin Whale followed him for a long time, every day to see, what is there to see, every night to water, but during the day, the land is still dry, looking at him I feel depressed, "You come to see every day, what are you looking at?" ”

"When I first came, the ground was yellow and my hands were full of sand. Even if there is no drought, it will be impossible to grow food here. Xin Kun grabbed a handful of soil and gently kneaded it in front of Xin Whale, and there was faint water in the clods.

"What do you mean?" Xin Whale looked at his cousin puzzled.

"It means that if we leave, this land will not be handed over to the villagers. Even if you find an honest tenant and charge less rent, do you see this color? Black represents fertility and moisture. Xin Kun showed him that there was water in the dried clods.

"We're a burden to you, aren't we?" Xin Whale looked at this cousin who spoke very softly, he was still silent, his voice was soft like a girl, but he had a firmness that he didn't have.

His brain is not bad, children who can read will not have too bad brains, and these days, the county has also said that the military department will no longer order weapons from them.

The new patriarch went to Xin Ye again, hoping that Xin Ye could help them go to the county to talk about what Xin Ye could say, only to say that when there was no sign from the Ministry of War before, they also passed it, and the sign of the Ministry of War was too harmful, and it was safer to live according to the previous method.

The new patriarch ran to the county by himself, and the grandfather returned to Beijing, and Master Hong's statement was similar to that of Xin Ye, so that they might as well open an ironware shop in the county, and then the villagers would make iron and sell it in the county.

I have to say, this is a good idea, he said the same thing to his father before, at that time he also counted the sign of the Ministry of War, saying that there are big workshops, and then recruit some masters, on the one hand, there is a shop, and on the other hand, there is a fixed income from the Ministry of War, and their income will be considerable.

But the problem is that the sixth uncle of the patriarch came back and told him the idea of Master Hong, and the village didn't even agree. The reason is that they have to invest again, buy iron first, and then buy farm tools, and it costs money to rent a shop in the city, and they still owe Xin Ye money!

And Xin Whale knows that the most important reason is. They are afraid of losing money. Set up your own shop, who knows if anyone will buy it. What did they do casually before, Xin Ye guaranteed it, but now, who believes whom?

Anyway, after the meeting, Xin Whale and his father were moved by the rest of their lives, if they had fought for being the patriarch at that time, would these clansmen belong to them now. It's scary to think about!
