Chapter 304: What is Iron!
"My tribe is in the wasteland, relatively small, and has just begun to develop, but don't worry, I can still protect the personal safety of you craftsmen!"
In this place, not to mention the danger, the living conditions are too difficult, Xia Ye is worried that people will be scared to go as soon as they hear about this place, so he mentioned the rich conditions again.
"I believe in nobles, and it's not a miscellaneous fish that is powerless!"
Zhu Yu smiled, and his modest tone made the atmosphere of the conversation a lot easier.
Xia Ye spent a lot of money to hire people, he must want to do something big, it can be said that the craftsman who can forge weapons is the wealth of a tribe, and he will generally not give up unless he is forced to do so.
As for the second half of the sentence, Zhu Yu also has the meaning of threat.
"The biggest advantage of working with me is that you have enough coins and you don't have to join my tribe. ”
Xia Ye smiled: "Of course, if you want to settle down, you can." ”
Zhu Yu smiled and didn't answer, he wondered if he would go to Chaoge for a year, at least earn the money for his son's daughter-in-law.
"If you go to my tribe alone, for the sake of secrecy, some important work will not be handed over to you, you can only build weapons, if you drag your family and have a permanent plan, I will pay a higher salary!"
Xia Ye is depressed, money can be robbed, food can be planted, but talents are not created out of thin air, otherwise there would not be an allusion to ten years of trees and hundreds of people.
Without decades of accumulation, it is too difficult for Chaoge to explode in talent.
"Important work, can it be heavier than my swordsmithing tree?"
The corners of Zhu Yu's mouth twitched slightly, revealing a trace of disdain, at this point, he had enough arrogance.
"Humph!"
Elivi snorted coldly: "No matter how powerful your sword-forging skills are, have you ever forged iron? In your life, I'm afraid you haven't even seen 'iron', right? Not to mention the hundred steels that the Great Chief said." ”
"Ironware?"
Zhu Yu looked confused, and then shook his head, these people are afraid that they are fooling themselves, there have been such people before, using an unwarranted name, trying to deceive their sword-casting skills.
Elivi has a tough personality and is proud, how can she stand such an expression of a man, and she is too lazy to talk nonsense, she covered the summer knife on her waist with one hand, and pulled it out!
The bright blade, as if it was a match, flashed, and then put the knife into the sheath and returned to nothingness.
"It's ......"
Zhu Yu was shocked all of a sudden, although he only glanced at it, but the shining blade was like a thunderbolt, hitting his heart, leaving a deep shock.
Bronze is an alloy, because of the quality, its color is basically all kinds of green, no matter how sharp it is, it is impossible to shine to this point!
"Xia Dao, our unique weapon for Asahae!"
Elivier looked proud, because of the relationship between aliens, the female warriors went on expeditions, there was no logistical supply, and at the worst time, they were fighting with wooden sticks, so they had a paranoid love for weapons.
When the first batch of summer knives came out, even Elena couldn't hold back, and for the first time, she put on the identity of the Great Prophet and asked for several handfuls, according to Jiaduo, she slept every day and held them in her arms.
Seeing the shocked expression of a master swordsmith, Elivier understood that her companions in the future would no longer have to make up for it with their lives because of the inferior quality of their weapons.
"Hehe, it's just some unfinished products!"
Xia Ye didn't mean to stop Elivia, these days, people with craftsmanship are extremely arrogant, if you don't use some real talent to suppress them, people will look down on you.
Besides, the word 'iron', before Xia Ye said it, no one used it, it was invented by him, he didn't say the meaning, and others just wanted to break their heads, and they couldn't guess it.
"I've traveled north and south, wandering for so many years, and I can be regarded as having seen a lot of weapons and appreciating a lot of forging techniques, even if it is a savage's martyrdom and refining method, I know a thing or two, but her summer knife ......"
Zhu Yu forgot about the negotiation all of a sudden, and subconsciously took two steps forward, reaching out to take Elivia's knife, and his eyes were already completely fixed on it.
Although it was rude for the other party to do this, Xia Ye was very satisfied, because only a master who was obsessed with sword forging would show such a gesture of love.
"Show him!"
Natsuno teased.
"Don't!"
Elivier refused.
Natsuno's face darkened all of a sudden, and he looked at the other girls, and sure enough, they all twisted their heads away, pretending to be looking at the scenery!
"You ......"
Xia Ye pinched his eyebrows, he understood, after all, no tribesman would want others to touch his weapon.
"Hehe, I was reckless!"
Zhu Yu apologized, but his eyes slid to Xia Ye's sword, others don't show me, can't yours? But this time, he was dumbfounded, this scabbard, and this hilt, why is it so similar?
"This can't be a famous sword, right?"
Zhu Yu guessed.
"Hmm!"
Xia Ye took off his sword and handed it over, wanting to win over Zhu Yu more and more, the other party can have this eyesight, which shows that he has extraordinary knowledge and is a famous teacher, you must know that in these years, there are very few ways to spread knowledge, and he can recognize Tai'a, at least he has seen the famous sword atlas.
Zhu Yu didn't expect Xia Ye to be so generous, and then he was excited, first wiped his hands on his pants, and then his face turned pale, his hands were folded, he bowed to Tai'a, bowed three times, and then took it preciously.
"Good sword!"
Zhu Yu praised, the blade was slightly cool in the hand, the lines were clear, and it was full of an indescribable beauty, not so much a murderous weapon, but more like a work of art.
Zhu Yu's wife stood aside, looking at Xia Ye, this young man is not very old, but he has a calm bearing, and more importantly, he is kind and angry, those alien women should be his subordinates, but they dare to oppose his opinion.
It stands to reason that this is considered in front of outsiders, sweeping Xia Ye's face, if it is placed in other tribes, this will be killed by the big chief, but this handsome young man laughed over.
"With such a kind character, he must be kind to his people, right?"
The woman is entangled, she has lived in the Acropolis for so many years, she has not saved any family money, and she has not had many experiences worth recalling, she is tired of it, maybe she will live a better life if she goes to that Chaoge.
For more than 20 minutes, Zhu Yu didn't say a word, his eyes stared straight at Tai'a, obviously after watching the famous sword, he had a new understanding of the sword casting technique.
Treating the guests so slowly made the woman very embarrassed and wanted to apologize, but Xia Ye stopped her and silenced her.
This scene made the woman's senses of Xia Ye better.
Call!
More than half an hour later, Zhu Yu let out a long breath and sighed with emotion.
"Good sword, good sword!"
"Husband, the noble man is still waiting!"
The woman complained.
"Oh, I'm sorry!"
Zhu Yu hurriedly apologized, and returned Tai'a with both hands: "Looking at the sword today, I have some epiphany, and I am really grateful!"
"Why don't you take another look at this dagger and evaluate it?"
Xia Ye pulled out the survival straight knife in his boots and handed it to Zhu Yu.
"This look ......"
Zhu Yu was stunned, even if it was the works of those sword-casting masters in the Acropolis, he dared to criticize one or two casually, but after getting this real sword, he only felt that all the words were blocked in his throat.
First this shape, Zhu Yu was speechless, and then this color, the snow was a little scary, but in the end, he still couldn't hold back.
"It's a pity, it's a pity!"
Zhu Yu took the folding knife, slashed his fingers with a slight force.
"Huh?"
Eli Wei and the others immediately stepped forward and blocked in front of Xia Ye, worried that Zhu Yu would commit murder.
"I'm sorry, nobleman, this is his stinky problem, he always likes to test the knife with his own body!"
The woman looked embarrassed, raised her foot and kicked Zhu Yu's knee: "What are you doing in a daze?
"The technique of casting knives is average, barely qualified, but this 'bronze', the texture is too rare, I have never seen it for more than 30 years!"
Zhu Yu muttered, still immersed in the 'straight knife'.
"If I were given this 'bronze', I could forge a better sword!"
Just as heroes love beautiful women and love BMWs, swordsmiths also like the best materials, because only when they get them can they forge peerless swords.
"Huh!"
Xia Ye withdrew the straight knife, and the bait was thrown out, just to see if the prey could not be hooked.
"I'm afraid there are very few of these metals, right? I hope I can buy one or two ......."
Zhu Yu pondered, bankrupt, and wanted to get a piece, but after speaking, he was stunned again, and he noticed that the sabers of these female guards were all of a uniform style.
"It can't all be made of this material, right?"
Zhu Yu was not stupid, so he immediately thought of a possibility, could it be that Xia Ye had found an upgraded version of bronze?
"I'm sorry, the number of 'iron' is too small, only I, the swordsmith of Chaoge, are qualified to use it!"
Natsuno refused.
"Hey!"
Zhu Yu sighed, squatted on the ground, holding his head in both hands, and looked lonely, as if his life had lost its direction.
Eli Wei and the others glanced at each other, their expressions remained the same, but they were going crazy with laughter in their hearts, what is too little, Chao Ge obviously has a big valley of iron ore.
If all of them are smelted, they can forge a huge steel summer city.
"If you are not worried about my tribe, you can recruit more companions, of course, it is best to be talented, but I don't dislike ordinary people, but they can only work to make money. ”
There is always such a thing as population, which is always lacking.
Zhu Yu's eyes lit up, and he pondered, if he recruited three or four hundred people, it would be a small team, even if Xia Ye was the big chief, he would have to worry about it, right?
In the Acropolis, the homeless people are not allowed to form gangs, but they are worried that these people will cause trouble.
"Two hundred?"
Zhu Yu asked tentatively.
"Yes!"
Natsuno nodded.
"The three hundred?"
Zhu Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Yes, yes!"
Xia Ye didn't even hesitate.
"Four ......"
Without waiting for Zhu Yu's word 'hundred' to speak, his wife looked at it first and pinched his arm.
"You're not done yet?"
The woman glared at Zhu Yu, in her mind, Xia Ye's tribe, at most a few hundred people, you brought four hundred people over, are you planning to occupy the magpie's nest?
"Hehe, don't worry too much, as long as it's a talent, the more the merrier!"
Xia Zhixin said, if you can bring all the craftsmen in the Acropolis, I can also eat them.
"By the way, as long as you attract a talent, I will give you an extra knife coin!"
Xia Ye glanced at the homeless area: "Presumably, here is the same as you, unwilling to join the Wei clan, but there are not many talented homeless, right?
"I don't want to be a district chief, I just want to forge a peerless sword!"
Zhu Yu shook his head: "But I'll help you ask!"
After speaking, Zhu Yu was stunned, and then knocked his forehead in annoyance, didn't he say what he thought about it?
After the matter was done, Natsuno left.
"Let's go buy half a pound of pork!"
Zhu Yu smacked his lips.
In the evening, the displaced people went to work, so the quiet homeless area was bustling.
"You're back, eat meat today!"
When the woman saw a young boy returning, she immediately frowned, this is her son, his name is Zhu Le!
The people in the homeless area are relatively poor, and it is no problem to fill their stomachs, but if they eat meat, then don't think about it, and only people with skills like Zhu Yu can have a little extra money.
If this were usual, Zhu Le would be able to jump happily, but today, he was depressed!
"What's wrong with you?"
The woman was puzzled.
"Hey, what is meat? The nobles eat cold skin, meat patties, do you know how much is a piece? Ten knife coins!"
Zhu Le smacked his lips, he has been working for the past few days, and he has heard people talk about cold skin and meatloaf.
"The ancestor is on top, ten knife coins, it's all a month's ration for our family!"
The woman was shocked.
"Hmph,!"
Zhu Yu snorted coldly.
"Who are you fooling? How shrewd are those nobles, can they be fooled? After eating on the first day, they went to line up early in the morning of the next day, because of the limited amount, many people couldn't eat it, and they even fought!"
Zhu Le looked at the porridge and had no appetite at all: "Hey, when will our family be able to eat Chaoge food!"
Zhu Yu didn't care at first, but when he heard this, he looked up in amazement: "Where did you say?"
"What?"
Zhu Le didn't understand.
"What kind of food?" Zhu Yu repeated: "Chaoge?"
"That's right, it's said to be in the wasteland, and that's a beautiful name!"
Today's young people don't have any big ideals, so they want to fill their stomachs and marry a beautiful wife.
"You wait!"
The woman took the basket given by Xia Ye, looked for it, and turned over a small wooden sign!
"Eh, someone else gave us a gift?"
Zhu Lele was happy and picked it up casually.
"Don't move!"
Zhu Yu frowned, picked up the chopsticks and knocked them over, and at the same time warned his wife: "Don't move, I haven't agreed yet!"
Zhu Yu is an honest man, and he will not be punished for nothing!
"I'll just look at the gift list!"
The woman was literate and read it.
"A box of high-grade snow salt!"
"A can of soy sauce!"
"A jar of vinegar!"
"A can of sesame oil!"
"A box of cookies!"
"A can of cold skin!"
"A box of cakes!"
......
"How is it possible?"
Zhu Le screamed, stretched out his head and searched for it from the basket.
Madam and Zhu Yu were dumbfounded, in the previous tribes, their status was not low, and they had seen the world, but they didn't know anything on this gift list except for snow salt!
"Wow, it's really cool?"
After Zhu Le opened a jar, he looked at the cool skin inside, and his face was instantly full of surprise, those seasonings were all packed in a jar, and he could pour them on the cold skin when he ate it.
"Who is this? Such a big stroke? Daddy, have you met a nobleman?"
Zhu Le was surprised.
