Indeed, although the influence of the magic in the war continues to expand, on the whole, it is still quite different from the civil and military arts. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

These words are enough to explain the status of the two ways of civil and military in the minds of orthodox people, and the magic has always been regarded as a sideline, far from being comparable with the two ways of civil and military.

Even if it has been expanding its influence in the past hundred years, especially with the rebellion of Anshi in the late Tang Dynasty to the rebellion of Huangchao and then to the rise of feudal lords, wars have continued, so that the role of magic in the war has begun to appear, but it is more still as an auxiliary force of martial arts.

It can be said that it was not until after the Battle of Wengangzha that the signs of magic acting alone began to be noticed, but it is impossible to say how much shock it can cause in such a short period of time.

"Then does this method of differentiation for demonstration have any impact on the enthusiasm of those magicians and magicians?" Jiang Feng couldn't help but ask.

"It is estimated that the subordinates still have some influence, but in general, this is still a rare opportunity for these magicians who are not very valued in Daliang and Heshuo, not only to communicate and learn, but also to find some opportunities, so there are still a lot of people here. ”

Chu Qi felt that Jiang Feng attached great importance to the magicians, and said cautiously: "Lord, there are more magicians and magicians from Heshuo, and most of them live in the hostel on the north gate, if you ......"

"Oh, have you been?" Jiang Feng's eyes lit up.

"My subordinates went there the day before yesterday, because there were still people coming from Bianliang, so my subordinates went to find acquaintances under the pretense of going to find acquaintances, and they also went for a walk over there and learned some information. Chuqi explained.

"Well, when are you going to do the demonstration of the magic together? Is it with the martial arts and Wendao competitions?" Jiang Feng felt more and more that it was a bit interesting to come to Nanyang to catch up with this grand event, if he couldn't get something for Huzhou at this grand event, it would be in vain.

"The competitive competition between the civil and military realms is divided into preliminary rounds, semi-finals and finals, and the demonstration of the magic method is held every day, according to the attributes and regions, it will probably last for about five days, and the time should overlap. ”

Jiang Feng nodded with satisfaction, Chu Qi has not been idle in the past few days, and it is not easy to understand these situations so clearly.

"Okay, Da Lang did a good job. Jiang Feng pondered, "I plan to stay in Nanyang for a few days, such a grand event, it is estimated that all forces will be involved, Nanyang is recruiting talents with such fanfare, especially for Daliang and Heshuo, I don't believe that it will be so smooth here." In addition, we should not do nothing in Huzhou, Dalang, you will send a letter back to Huzhou immediately, let Ding Man and Wang Huang come to visit, and also ask Deng Guinian to come if he can spare time, and see if he can gain something. ”

"Okay. Chu Qi immediately replied.

"In addition, you and Cycad can go out for a walk at night to learn more about the situation, and I still have to think about the problem. Jiang Feng thought about it for a while, and saw Ju Rui's eyes flowing next to him, while Wu Bian's little girl was full of anticipation, obviously wanting to go out for a walk, "Hui Niang, why don't you take Wu Fang out for a walk, bring these hats, don't invite a group of disciples." ”

"Forget it, if you don't go, I won't go, I'll accompany you in the house. Ju Rui shook her head.

Jiang Feng laughed, "Forget it, if you come to Nanyang, you have to take a walk, take a look, then let's go out for a walk, Chu Qi and Su Tie, you go aside, and I will go shopping casually with Hui Niang." ”

I have to admit that Nanyang Mansion dares to be upgraded to a mansion, and it really has this background.

In this era, not just any city can be upgraded to a government, but Nanyang has been upgraded, without him, the city has a large population, developed commerce and trade, and there is an endless flow of merchants and merchants, so it is naturally qualified to be promoted to the state.

The west of the city is relatively remote, but when Jiang Feng came out with Ju Hui and Wu Fang, he could feel the hustle and bustle of the night market in midsummer.

There is no big boundary in this era, but there is still a rough boundary as Nanyang City.

The west of the city is a typical workshop area, with the fang market in front and the workshop in the back, but according to the industry, one area after another still basically maintains the pattern of the former Tang Dynasty.

Jiang Feng and the others were about to go out when they heard the sound of "jingling" from the north, even if they were a few streets away, they were endless.

As the most important iron-smelting center in Shannan Dongdao, Caizhou's furnace city is a small drop in comparison with Nanyang, with more than 1.5 million catties of iron produced from Nanyang every year, which is not worth mentioning in Jiang Feng's opinion compared with modern times, but it is already extremely considerable in this era.

It is conceivable that if this 1.5 million catties of iron are used to build weapons such as horizontal knives, at least 80,000 handles can be made, and its value can be imagined.

Seeing that Jiang Feng's attention seemed to be attracted by the iron-smelting workshop in the north, Ju Hui also knew that Jiang Feng had always been not very satisfied with his weapons, although Chang Kun brought back a narrow-bladed horse chopping knife made of dark iron from Bianliang, but this horse chopping knife can only be said to be unsatisfactory, compared with the original horse chopping knife, the effect is much better, but compared with Yang Kan's Ice King Halberd, it is still far behind, and even compared with this path blade on his waist.

"Erlang, why don't we take a look, I heard that Nanyang's workshop is very famous, not inferior to Bianliang. ”

Ju Hui's interest moved Jiang Feng very much, and nodded, "Then go and see, my horse chopping knife is enough if it is an ordinary battle, but if you have to meet a strong person to fight, I'm afraid it won't be enough, Xiao Jing is also telling me, if you can, you might as well choose a good iron material, and then rough shape it first, and finally take it back and then smelt and purify it with magic, and finally shape it." ”

"Xiao Jing is really concerned about your affairs, but she also said that our Huzhou is not even enough for ordinary smelters, let alone magic smelting craftsmen. "Ju Hui only talks more when she is alone with Jiang Feng," she said that if she could find even a lower-level magician, she could support her in the magic mystic god to smelt and forge high-level weapons. ”

Jiang Feng also understood the meaning of Ju Hui's words, Xu Jingxuan's divine cultivation was extremely fast, and even Deng Guinian was amazed many times, but Xu Jingxuan's divine cultivation improved very quickly, but there was also a big flaw, that is, she did not have any special expertise in the five sex spells, as an auxiliary magician, she was very good, but as a single-minded magician, she was a little unqualified, and her greater strength was that she cooperated with others and was more effective.

Including the battle of Wengangzha, it was also first burned by a magician who was proficient in water-based spells to burn water-based spells on the dragon's horns, and then urged them through Xu Jing's strong mystic spirit, and finally launched them in the form of a spell array, not because Xu Jing was proficient in water-based spells.

Huzhou was newly established, and there were few decent blacksmith shops, so how could it talk about anything else?

It can be said that in addition to the material officials who can barely make a grass armor and leather armor, the most basic weapons cannot be forged, and can only be purchased from outside, and the weapons purchased back are not only expensive, but also unstable in quality.

Weapons such as catapults and bed crossbows can be manufactured, but these things are consumables, and the quality and price of the production are also high, and even a good gentleman like He Decai is not satisfied, and has been clamoring for the establishment of an official construction office under the material bureaucracy, and to recruit a group of professional craftsmen instead of improvised homeless apprentices to make these things for mixed food, so as to maximize production efficiency and quality.

All in all, Huzhou seems to have been established at first glance, but it is still far from a real state, especially in the development of industry and commerce, it is still far from being compared with a real state capital, which requires a process, but Jiang Feng needs this process to be shorter, so that Huzhou can have the atmosphere of a real city one day earlier.

"Over there is the official construction office of Nanyang Prefecture, which is specially used to make weapons, armor and agricultural tools, but you can't get in, and there are soldiers guarding it. Ju Hui is no stranger to Nanyang, in order to assassinate Liu Xuan, she also hid in Nanyang for a month, and she knows everything in Nanyang City, "This should be the private area, there are not only large-scale smelting and forging workshops for big families in the city, but also some small workshops run by skilled craftsmen, each with its own characteristics." ”

"Hui Niang, what do you mean by this distinctive?" Jiang Feng was still a little shocked at a glance.

This square urban area, at least has dozens of large and small iron smelting and forging workshops, all of which are brightly lit, the sound of jingling is endless, and the guests are endless, and all kinds of bargaining voices are boiling.

There are also some tea shops in the middle, which are obviously a place to provide rest and negotiation for merchants who come to purchase or sell materials.

"Nanyang's iron-smelting and forging industry is very developed, not only the output is large, but they also have many special craftsmen here to create all kinds of special objects, such as some people like to use metal bracers, robe nails, knee and elbow pads, and even need to use magic to add blessings, and some weapons need to be mixed with special substances to improve their quality, or need to be blessed with magic, they can be carried out here, as long as you can afford to pay for it. ”

Ju Rui seemed to be very familiar with this place, which also made Jiang Feng quite curious, "Rui Niang, isn't it that you also made this path blade here?"

Ju Rui shook his head, "That's not it, I was handed down to me by my master, and I am the most suitable to use this light lu." However, many special weapons in our Lishan faction will choose to be ordered here, and they will cost a lot every year, and the number of orders is more than one or twenty pieces. It's very expensive. ”

Jiang Feng figured out a little taste from Ju Rui's somewhat strange gaze, "Hui Niang, have you met someone from your Lishan faction?" )
