Li Quan snorted coldly: "Don't look down on the old man. ”

Pan Wu hurriedly explained: "No, no, I never dared to think like this." After saying this, I felt a little wrong, and coughed: "What, I seem to be the owner, the employer, and the boss." ”

"So what? It's a big deal, we just don't do it. ”

Pan Wu laughed: "I'm just explaining my identity, I don't mean anything else." He turned around and shouted, "Luo Qing." ”

Luo Qing ran over quickly: "Boss." ”

Pan Wu said with a straight face: "This is Master Li Quan, arrange the best room, whatever Master Li needs, must be arranged." ”

Luo Qing said yes, leading these craftsmen to their residences.

Looking at Li Quan's back, Jiang Quan smiled and said: "The old man has the ability, if you can keep him, it will only be good for you." Then he said: "The old man likes to drink wine and eat meat, and General Pan can do what he likes." He also said that ten carts of wine were transported together, which was regarded as his personal gift.

Pan Wu thought for a moment and asked, "Our relationship is not so good?"

Jiang Quanyi said: "Don't give it for nothing?"

"Yes. ”

Jiang Quan smiled: "The next time you come over, it will take at least fifty days, or even longer, if you need anything, you can go to the refining shop in Seoul and say something, someone will prepare it for you." He handed over a black iron plate engraved with the word "ginger", and the word was red.

Pan Wu took it and looked at it: "Just take this?"

"You don't have to pay for it, it's included in the price of that leather armor. ”

Pan Wu said yes and said thank you.

Jiang Quanyi looked at the sky: "Then I'll go, I hope General Pan will succeed as soon as possible." ”

No matter what Pan Wu does, anyway, he just said a good word, hugged his fists slightly, and led people away.

The Jiang family will definitely not stay overnight in the mountains, no matter how dark it is, they must go back. Pan Wu asked Sodar to take people out with a few war pets and go to see all kinds of utensils by himself.

Most of them are new to seeing them, and many of them look familiar, and they don't know what to do with them.

The craftsmen went back to their lodgings to clean up a little and immediately went out to work.

Li Quan, the head of the craftsman, asked where the mine was located, where to build the blast furnace, and where the stone coal came from.

Pan Wu asked them to rest, saying that they were not in a hurry on the first day, they would rest first, and they would take you to the mine tomorrow.

That being said, Li Quan has rich experience in mining and after the craftsmen go back to rest, he takes Li Quan to the refiner and takes out two kinds of ore for the old man to choose.

Hearing that there were two mines, and they were deep in the mountains, Li Quan was not surprised, and only asked: "Can safety be guaranteed?"

"As long as you pass, I will go with you. ”

Li Quan nodded, then tossed two groups of ores, and after about ten minutes, he pointed to a pile and said: "This kind of ore is easy to mine, but how to choose, you have to go to the mine to see it, each mine has its own characteristics." ”

Pan Wu said yes, and said that he would go tomorrow. Please ask Li Quan to go back and rest.

The next morning, after breakfast, Pan Wu asked the three big eagles to take him and Li Quan, and an older craftsman to the mine together.

Li Quan said that this person's name is Zhang Yueming, and he is particularly good at prospecting and mining.

Pan Wuji needs this kind of master, and for him, it is also against the entire barbarian soldiers, and there is really no one who knows how to open mines. If you have to make it up, the thirty refiners and Pan Wu are the most experienced people. And Pan Wu only read some sporadically from books.

It was inconvenient to talk on the back of the big eagle, and when he arrived at the mine, as soon as he landed, Pan Wu came over to pick up Zhang Yueming and Li Quan diligently.

Zhang Yueming is a first-level cultivator, except for the ability to find and open mines, he has no other strengths, he is an ordinary person. Seeing Pan Wu so attentive, Zhang Yue smiled and said, "I can jump down." ”

Pan Wu smiled: "It's rare for me to be courteous." ”

Zhang Yueming jumped to the ground, first looking left and right: "Is this place safe?"

"Look at the mine first, if it is suitable for mining, I will bring people here to build a house, and then bring some war pets, as long as there is nothing particularly important, I will stay here. ”

Zhang Yueming nodded, squatting down to look at the stones at his feet. Li Quan did the same, first looking at the stones at his feet, and then slowly walking into the mountains.

Pan Wu and the three big eagles followed closely, and they must not let the two masters be harmed.

The two of them looked very slowly, and they saw that the sun stopped after noon, and Zhang Yueming said: "Don't look at the other place, it's very good here." ”

Li Quan also agreed: "This place is wide enough to build a village, and it should be able to accommodate six or seven hundred people." ”

Six or seven hundred people? Pan Wu looked down and couldn't help but sigh, in Li Quan's eyes, the forest below the mountain was already equivalent to nothing. It's not big, there aren't many trees, but it's all going to disappear.

Li Quan said again: "I think two things can be done together, and build a blast furnace while opening a mine, no problem, right?"

Pan Wu smiled bitterly: "It should be three things, and you have to dig stone coal." ”

Li Quan said the same, and asked Zhang Yueming: "Do you want to go and see the stone coal mine?"

Zhang Yueming stood halfway up the mountain and looked up, and only replied after a while: "From here, you go to that place to dig, if you can dig the ore, this mine alone is enough to equip all your soldiers." ”

Pan Wu said: "I want a fifth-level A, but I really can't, and the worst is a fourth-level A." ”

Zhang Yueming and Li Quan were a little surprised: "People can't be too greedy. ”

Pan Wu didn't explain, only said that it was best to be a fifth-level A.

Zhang Yueming said to Li Quan: "I will only open mines, and refining is your business." ”

Li Quan smiled bitterly: "I have the means to increase the level of the casting, but, but, even if you are very rich and rich, according to the current state, you can be promoted to a third-level casting at most." ”

Pan Wu asked: "Let's get it ourselves, can't we try hard?"

Li Quan smiled: "What you think is too simple, if I can get a fourth-grade casting, do you think I can come to you to beg for food?"

Pan Wu was a little depressed: "Jiang Quanyi said that you are very powerful." ”

Li Quan said: "Isn't it great to be able to get a third-grade casting?"

Pan Wu thought for a moment: "Open the mine first, anyway, I must get out of the fifth level A." ”

Li Quan said: "It's okay, I can accompany you to get it, but you have to be prepared to go bankrupt." ”

Pan Wu asked: "100,000 catties of hammer can't do it?"

Li Quan was a little curious: "You really don't understand?"

Pan Wu asked what he didn't understand?

Li Quan explained: "No matter how big and powerful the hammer is, what can be done is to forcefully compress the casting to make it thinner and stronger, but it has not changed at all, and it will not be raised by a level out of thin air." Then he explained: "Let's put it this way, with that heavy hammer, you can make your third-level armor stronger than most of the third-level armor in the world, understand?"

Pan Wu smiled bitterly and nodded.

Li Quan said: "Just say more, now there are two ways to improve the grade of castings, one is to add various agents to remix and smelt, and the other is to smelt at high temperature for a long time, put forward the impurities in the casting, and directly improve its grade, but these two methods are particularly difficult, you know volcanic iron, right?"

Of course, Pan Wu knew that he had a pair of volcanic iron sledgehammers, and he replied that he knew.

Li Quan continued: "In fact, what good iron can there be in the wilderness? Even the most inferior rotten mines, it is because the iron has been smelted by the volcano for a long time, and the iron has changed, and it can be made without refining, and you can make tools without refining, think about it, such a high temperature and such a long time of incineration, but only a pile of fourth-grade iron will be burned, and it is absolutely thankless to use this method." ”

After a pause, he talked about the method of adding the potion: "The first method is also not advisable, why? Because the success rate is too low and too low, and every failure is to let the casting fail together and turn it directly into scrap metal." ”

"Improving the grade of casting materials can only be improved one level at a time, why is there more grade A? Because there are many secondary materials, you can lose and waste at will, but even so, it takes a lot of money to do it. Li Quan said: "I have a recipe to upgrade the second-level casting to the third-level, but it is not necessarily suitable for the ore here, and it is still necessary to try various things, as for the third-level to the fourth-level, I am really powerless." ”

Pan Wu said, "It's okay, we can try casually." ”

Li Quan smiled: "Even if we have two mines, there are endless ores, but what about the medicine? The medicine is just a general term, sometimes it is powder, sometimes it is blood, sometimes it is even molten iron, all kinds of things are different, and the results of trying are not the same, and one thing, in addition to these necessary conditions, you also need to have a very quiet and clean house...... Anyway, it's a lot of conditions, understand?"

Pan Wu said: "It's okay, we're not afraid." ”

Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded no matter what he said, Li Quan shook his head with a smile: "Okay, you are the boss, you have a refiner, right? ”

Pan Wu arched his hand and said, "Thank you." ”

Li Quan said: "I'm old anyway, it doesn't matter, but there is a request." ”

"Speak. ”

Li Quan said: "I have three sons, one is a soldier, don't talk about him, and the other son runs a blacksmith shop in his hometown, and I don't talk about him...... Let's talk about it, the second son opens a blacksmith shop, no matter whether I can make what you want, please remember me well, the second son gave birth to two grandchildren for me, if possible, can the shopkeeper help me take care of the two little grandchildren. ”

Pan Wu said that there was no problem, and said that he could send money over now.

Li Quan shook his head: "Don't give money, it's not a good thing to have more money." He smiled wryly: "Although I'm making money for them." Then he said: "There is a third son ......" Speaking of this, he sighed: "Disobedient, do it with me, run away from home, there has been no news for more than ten years, I go everywhere to work, in fact, I also want to find him, if the shopkeeper is willing to remember me a good, if there is a fate to see, please be sure to take him on the right road." ”

Hearing this, Pan Wu suddenly remembered Li Xing, and said in his heart that it wouldn't be such a coincidence, right?

"What's the son?" Li Quan said: "I'm lazy to come up with a name, his name is Li Sanquan." ”

Pan Wu sighed secretly, fortunately it wasn't so coincidental!
