Han Jian stood outside the hall and begged to see Li Chengzhou, and the guards went in to report. At this time, Li Chengzhou was just about to get up and leave, and discussed other things with Fan Qingyan, and Fang Changge had already begun to avoid him now.

"Han Jian wants to see me? Presumably, iron tools have already been made. Let him in. ”

Han Jian walked into the main hall.

"Wechen knocks to see the emperor."

Li Chengzhou stepped forward to support Han Jian.

"Aiqing doesn't have to make this big gift, you have worked so hard in the iron mining area for so long, it should be me to thank you on behalf of Datang."

"It is an honor for the minister to share the worries of His Majesty."

"Aiqing is in such a hurry to see me, presumably the iron tool has already been completed?"

"As Your Majesty expected, the mass production of iron tools has begun now, and after continuous forging day and night in the iron mining area, a lot of iron tools have been forged, and Your Majesty is invited to take a look."

"Good! Good! Good! ”

Li Chengzhou was very happy, he had experienced the Mo knife before, and he felt that anything could be split with a knife.

"Let's go, let's take a look!"

Li Chengzhou pulled Han Jian, and the two of them walked towards the iron ore area.

"By the way, this time you must let the two of you take a look!"

Li Chengzhou asked Yingwei to invite Fang Changge and Meng Biao.

On the way out of the city, they met Fan Qingyan and the two of them, who were wandering around with nothing to do, and Li Chengzhou also called them by the way.

They waited at the city gate for a while, but only Meng Biao came, and a shadow guard found Li Chengzhou.

"Taifu said, don't look for him again in the future for this kind of thing."

The current Fang Changge is indeed not as energetic as when he first came to this continent, and he is not as enthusiastic as he was at the beginning, but Meng Biao is still a little reckless as he was then, but now he has begun to ignore the army and hand it over to Li Chengzhou.

A group of people rushed to the iron ore area.

Han Jian led the way in front.

The iron ore area covers an area of several miles, and each city sends 1,000 people to make iron, a total of 9,000 people live in the iron ore area, and the city of Fire Bull is responsible for providing various living materials.

Of the 9,000 men, 2,000 were dedicated to mining ore, 2,000 were guarding shaft furnaces to smelt iron, 3,000 were in the blacksmith's house making ironware, and the remaining 2,000 were transporting slag and cutting down trees to transport wood for fuel.

The entire iron ore area is like a huge machine, everyone is a part in it, well organized, to complete their own tasks, the iron ore area can output a considerable amount of weapons and equipment every day.

All the weapons and equipment were piled up in the warehouses that were built, and the huge warehouses stored all kinds of weapons were stored in different categories.

Mo knives, Tang knives, horse lances, spears, horn bows, longbows, and improved crossbows, as well as a large number of arrows and crossbows.

In terms of defense, a large number of bright light armor were hung in the warehouse, and round shields and square shields were also neatly stacked in the corners.

As soon as Li Chengzhou stepped into the iron mining area, he was amazed by the iron mining area, and the clanging sound of striking iron, as well as the people transporting ore, slag and timber back and forth, were all carried out in a tense and orderly manner.

Especially when Han Jian pushed open the door, Li Chengzhou exclaimed even more when he saw a huge number of weapons and equipment.

"So much?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, in order to be able to bring new weapons and equipment to the army, we work day and night, and each person only rests for four or five hours a day."

"I still have to get some rest!"

"When we can change the equipment for each Don Army, we will rest."

"How many weapons are there in the warehouse?"

"There are more than 5,000 Tang horizontal knives, more than 6,000 square shields, more than 6,000 round shields, more than 3,000 sets of Mingguang armor, more than 7,000 spears, more than 3,000 horn bows for cavalry, more than 6,000 longbows for infantry, and more than 8,000 improved crossbows."

"There are more than 1,000 Mo knives and more than 500 horse lances."

"The effective range of the longbow is four hundred meters, the effective range of the angular bow is two hundred meters, and the range of the improved crossbow is four hundred meters."

"The shield is one meter long and 0.5 meters wide; The diameter of the round shield is 0.4 meters. ”

"The Mo knife is two and a half meters long, and the blade is 0.5 meters."

.....

Han Jian gushed absolutely, and Li Chengzhou introduced these weapons and equipment.

"Your Majesty, now these equipment should be able to equip a part of the army and increase our combat effectiveness."

Li Chengzhou nodded.

"These weapons can indeed increase our combat power, but we can wait, there is no rush now, and we will build some later."

Li Chengzhou refused to put these weapons and equipment in the army, and he wanted to wait until the weapons produced could be installed in all the army before replacing the equipment.

But the light in Han Jian's eyes disappeared, and in its opinion, it was Li Chengzhou's distrust of the weapons he produced.

Li Chengzhou hurriedly comforted him.

"Aiqing, don't be depressed, it's not that I don't trust you, but I want to wait, there are not enough weapons and equipment now, and it is not easy to distribute them to these troops, it is better to wait for more weapons to be replaced collectively."

Li Chengzhou appeased Han Jian.

"Give you two more months, and in two months, I will see weapons and equipment that can carry 10,000 people."

"It doesn't take two months, a month! It only takes me a month to make equipment other than a horse lance. ”

"Okay, we'll see you in a month!"

Li Chengzhou left with everyone, leaving Han Jian alone in the warehouse.

Han Jian just wanted to leave the warehouse, and poked his head out of the warehouse door alone.

"Dude, remember me?"

"Li Xiaojiang?"

"Yes, yes, yes! It's me. ”

"We've met, of course remember, what's the matter with you?"

"Did we say something when we met before, do you remember?"

"What's the matter?"

"It's to create improved armor for the shadow guard, not too strong defense, but it must be light and hidden."

"Oh, remember."

"Do you have one to build it?"

"Yes, I'll look for it."

Han Jian took Li Xiaojiang into the depths of the warehouse and pulled out a piece of armor from a place.

"This is the fish scale armor made before, which can also be called the inner armor, the defense is not as good as the Mingguang armor, but it can be worn inside the clothes, it is indeed hidden, and it is indeed light."

"Not bad, not bad! That's what you want, how many pieces of this are there? ”

"That's it."

"Huh? Just one piece? Can you do more? ”

"This is naturally possible, but you shadow guards have to wait, and when we finish building all the armor for the big army, we will study how to continue to improve the inner armor."

"This is good, this can be had!"

"You go back first, wait a month, and then see if there is time to build it for you."

"You must remember, we are here to protect Your Majesty!"

"Okay, okay! Be sure to make a note of it! ”

Li Xiaojiang left satisfied.

Han Jian locked the door of the warehouse, turned around and walked towards the center of the iron mining area, most of the blacksmith rooms were there, he had to hurry up and continue to supervise the manufacture of weapons and equipment, the one-month deadline was still a little tight.
