Chapter 306: Five Thousand Taels
"And he left a thousand copper coins on our wagon,"
"He said that he would let us transport him to the county office, and then he would give us a good reward again."
"Is that really the case? Such a big deal? 「
"Of course."
"Then Xiao Er, you have to be careful, don't make a mistake."
"We know."
When Qin Fan heard this, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Then Xiao Er, what about the guest you said now?"
"The guest has left."
Qin Fan nodded, smiled without saying a word, and then continued to eat with his head down.
But at this moment, a man in a red robe walked in, holding a package in his arms, which seemed to be of great value.
"Little Er, we want a steel hammer, can you do it?" The red-robed man asked.
When Xiao Er heard this, he smiled and said, "This guest officer, we have a professional smelter here, as long as he makes a move, we guarantee that you can create the sharpest and hardest weapon."
When the red-robed man heard this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "The smelter you said is reliable, don't delay my big business?"
The little two said, "As far as I know, he is a master refiner, so naturally there will be no problems."
"That's amazing."
The red-robed man nodded, and then said, "In this case, you take me to meet your craftsmen, and then I will personally inspect and see your smelting level."
When the little second heard this, he quickly nodded and said, "Of course, of course."
Soon, the little second took the red-robed man to a big room.
The red-robed man sat down on a chair and commanded, "Call your shopkeeper."
When the little second heard this, he ran out, and soon pulled a young man in a white shirt and walked in.
The young man's face was calm, not afraid of the evil aura on the red-robed man's body.
The red-robed man looked at the young man and asked, "You're an ironsmith, aren't you?"
"Exactly." The young man replied.
"In that case, you can go with me to check your smelting level, and if there is any problem, don't pay the bill when the time comes." The red-robed man said lightly.
"Childe, don't worry, the small shop absolutely guarantees its reputation." Li Wenxuan said with a smile.
"Alright, let's start now."
The red-robed man waved his hand, just to let Li Wenxuan do it, Qin Fan's eyes were also attracted at this moment, and he was also very curious, what level this so-called refining master was.
Li Wenxuan picked up a silver hammer and slowly waved it under Qin Fan's gaze, he wanted to refine the piece of pig iron in front of him.
"Little brother, don't look at this hammer as lightweight, in fact, it weighs a hundred catties, if I pick up this and smash it on someone, that person will definitely be stoned to death."
When Li Wenxuan spoke, his subordinates did not pause at all, and smashed the silver hammer in their hands towards the pig iron.
"Bang ......"
With a dull thud, the pig iron was struck.
Qin Fan couldn't help but be very surprised when he looked at what was happening in front of him, only to see that the originally flat stone slab had sunk into it a few points, and the dark wooden stake inside was exposed.
"Your hammer is too hard."
"You're trying so hard, the iron is about to break."
Li Wenxuan couldn't help frowning when he looked at the wooden stake exposed in front of him, only to hear him swing the hammer again.
After Li Wenxuan struck the hammer several times in a row, he finally found two round balls from the wooden stake, and then threw one to the ground with his hand.
"Bang ......"
With a crisp sound, the two balls exploded in an instant, and a puff of white smoke rose into the air.
Li Wenxuan couldn't help but smile when he looked at the white smoke, and then continued to beat the hammer.
"Bang ......"
A series of crisp sounds rang out one after another.
Every time Li Wenxuan struck, there would be a dull sound, and Qin Fan couldn't help but be curious as he watched Li Wenxuan hit the hammer.
"Why is this Li Wenxuan so powerful?"
Qin Fan couldn't help but say to himself, just a hammer forged from pig iron can knock a thousand-heavy boulder to pieces, he can't believe it.
Li Wenxuan's speed of striking the hammer became faster and faster, and in the end, he could not even see his movements clearly, and he could only vaguely see that he was holding a hammer in his hand, and every time the hammer was dropped, it would cause a roar.
"Bang ......"
Li Wenxuan's frequency of hitting the hammer became higher and higher, and a sound like a wind chime was formed behind him.
The sound of Li Wenxuan's hammer becoming denser and denser, as if connected into a musical rhythm.
"Is this hammer really that powerful?"
Qin Fan couldn't help but ask himself, because he saw that Li Wenxuan's speed of hitting the hammer was very fast, and it actually became blurry in the back.
And the voices seemed to be spiritual, constantly circling around his ears.
"Knock ......"
Another deafening sound came, and I saw Li Wenxuan throw an iron pellet in his hand into the pig iron again.
"Click......
A cracking sound came from the iron pill, and Qin Fan saw that the pig iron actually began to crack inch by inch.
"Bang."
At the same time as the pig iron shattered, Li Wenxuan once again rounded the silver hammer in his hand and smashed it down, only to hear a "pop" sound, and the pig iron shattered again.
"Bang ......"
Li Wenxuan waved the hammer in his hand again, and smashed the hammer in his hand on the pig iron at once, and the pig iron instantly cracked and turned into powder.
Looking at all this that was happening in front of him, the corners of Qin Fan's mouth couldn't help twitching.
"That's it? Isn't it necessary to bake pig iron on the fire? 「
"Or is this pig iron too thin?"
After thinking about it constantly, he decided to recruit this Li Wenxuan into the county government to serve himself.
Every time the hammer in Li Wenxuan's hand fell, the purity of that piece of pig iron would increase by one point.
Qin Fan, as the county magistrate of Wannian County, was naturally greedy for this rare talent, so he decided to recruit this Li Wenxuan.
It's a pity that this Li Wenxuan has an extremely strange temper and refuses to agree no matter what.
"Brother Li, you have to think clearly, as long as you agree to join Qin's disciple, Qin will definitely not treat you badly." Seeing this, Qin Fan immediately persuaded him.
Li Wenxuan shook his head: "Needless to say, the Qin County Order doesn't need to say much, the things that Li has decided will definitely not change."
"Brother Li, can you think about it again? Let's ......
......
Qin Fan said more than a dozen conditions in a row, but they were all rejected by Li Wenxuan.
Li Wenxuan's original words were, "The conditions of the Qin County Order are very rich, but unfortunately he can't look down on them."
Hearing this, Qin Fan's face suddenly darkened a little, but he continued to lobby: "Brother Li, Qin can pay three thousand taels of silver to hire you to join Qin's disciple."
