Chapter 2 The Liver Emperor System (Ask for Collection)
"Steward Zhang, Steward Wang, I'm really sorry, we will definitely find a way to repay the money, please be lenient a little longer, we will pay you back even if we sell the house, but it takes time to sell the house, you look at Tieshan's face, can you give us more time!" Wei Xue pleaded helplessly.
Their family had just bought this yard, and they basically didn't have much spare money in their hands.
At this stage, Wei Yi fell ill and spent money on medicine to see a doctor.
Wei Tieshan was imprisoned, and she looked for people everywhere to give gifts and entrust relationships, and to work as a servant, and she had completely emptied her home.
There is no spare money to return to them, unless the yard is re-sold.
"We are also in a hurry to use the money, at most half a month!" That Wang Shouyin looked at Wei Xue with an aggressive gaze and said.
Zhang Xingye on the side also acquiesced to his words.
Hearing Wang Shouyin's words, Wei Yi, who was originally silent, stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, two stewards, according to the previous contract, we will build at least twenty swords every month, and a total of eight months can be completed."
If it is not completed as agreed for two consecutive months, it will be considered a breach of contract and the arrears must be paid in one lump sum.
Last month, my second uncle helped you forge thirty swords.
It's only been a few days this month, are you too anxious! ”
Regarding Wei Tieshan's borrowing money from them, Wei Yi couldn't be clearer.
Because he helped write the contract at that time.
And they lent money to Wei Tieshan, also because it was profitable.
Wei Tieshan borrowed a total of two hundred taels of silver from the two of them, but he had to use two hundred swords to pay off the debt.
You must know that according to the price of the swords supplied to the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion before, these two hundred swords are worth at least three hundred taels of silver.
And the sword created by the second uncle is of high quality.
If it is sold in the market, a sword can easily be sold for four or five taels of silver.
If you hang the signboard of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion, you can sell it for at least ten taels of silver.
So the profit in this is very large, which is the reason why the two of them lent money to Wei Tieshan.
You must know that in the Great Yan Dynasty, the sword was a symbol of status and status, and it was popular all over the country.
It's like a man's watch and a woman's brand-name bag in the previous life.
It is a symbol of status and wealth.
Therefore, whether it is a martial artist, a literati or a scholar, or a merchant official, he will wear a sword.
On the one hand, it is to show identity, and on the other hand, it is also for self-defense.
After all, this world is not peaceful, in addition to thieves and bandits, there are also demons and evil spirits.
There are also a lot of people who practice martial arts and cultivate the Tao.
In addition, Qingzhou City is close to the border pass, and it is close to Xuanzang Mountain.
It is a place where chance and danger coexist, and there are many ancient ruins hidden.
There are often adventurers who enter the Xuanzang Mountains to hunt and hunt for treasures.
Therefore, it has also contributed to the popularity of the sword and blade industry in Qingzhou City.
This is also the reason why Wei Tieshan was able to buy a house in Qingzhou City.
"Without Wei Tieshan, how can you complete it as agreed?" Wang Shouyin's momentum weakened slightly.
Because what Wei Yi said was the truth, he also remembered that the contract at that time was written by Wei Yi with the help of Wei Yi, and he knew the details very well.
It's obviously impossible to frighten them.
"We naturally have a way to do this!" Wei Yi said with a firm gaze.
"The contract is written, you should also know that according to the agreement, it is not just a random sword of any quality, and it must meet the standards of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion for sword inspection." That Wang Shouyin said again.
But the aggressive momentum just now is gone.
"Of course, the two stewards, why not be more patient, if you can get the sword according to the previous agreement, wouldn't it be better for you.
With these two hundred swords, you can earn at least one hundred taels of silver, and one hundred taels in eight months, which is not a lot of opportunities! Wei Yi said again.
He knew that Wang Shouyin actually wanted a sword more than Yinliang, after all, they also wanted to make money.
"We do want a sword, but without Wei Tieshan, who else in your blacksmith shop can have his skills?" Wang Shouyin said again.
"Me!"
Wei Yi's words made Wang Shouyin and Zhang Xingye a little surprised.
Of course, Wei Xue and Wei Qing's mother and daughter were also surprised.
They knew Wei Yi very well, he was a weak scholar who couldn't even hold a hammer.
And I was especially afraid of the red-hot iron.
In the past, they all avoided it, let alone let him go forward and swing the hammer to strike iron.
But they also guessed that Wei Yi was probably delaying the army, so they remained silent and waited for the changes.
"You? Are you a weak scholar who can strike iron? Wang Shouyin looked Wei Yi up and down, obviously not believing his words.
"You also know that I am the only male in the Wei family, and my second uncle takes me like his own son. Naturally, his skills have been taught to me, and although I am reluctant to deal with iron, I know the core technology of forging swords.
Although my strength is not as good as that of my second uncle, there are other blacksmiths in our blacksmith shop. I'll control the technology and guide them, and it's no problem.
The two stewards, why don't we give each other a chance, anyway, the deadline for the contract has not yet arrived! Wei Yi's eyes were firm, and he said with confidence on his face.
The original owner really didn't like to strike iron.
But after all, his second uncle is a blacksmith, and he has been exposed to it all day long.
I also learned a lot of theoretical knowledge from the second uncle.
The most important thing is that Wei Yi's college major in his previous life was metal materials engineering.
Even if you work with steel, you also know the heat treatment process of metal.
Although he had not yet graduated from college, he died of illness.
But he believes that as long as he studies and practices it well.
Maybe you can also create a sword of the second uncle's quality.
Even if you fail, you can think of other ways during this time.
In short, for now, we must send these two people away, so that I have enough time to think about solutions.
Hearing Wei Yi's words, Wang Shouyin frowned and glanced at Zhang Xingye.
Zhang Xingye suddenly squeezed out a smile and said: "Since this is the case, then let's wait, if the virtuous nephew can really forge a sword that meets our requirements, naturally everyone will be happy!" ”
Wang Shouyin frowned and looked at Wei Yi.
He also knew that according to the contract, they really had no way to get the silver taels back now, so they could only wait and see.
"I hope you're not talking big!" Wang Shouyin said coldly.
immediately turned around and walked towards the outside of the courtyard, Zhang Xingye also bowed slightly, and then left with Wang Shouyin.
"Yi'er, it's good to have you, otherwise my aunt really doesn't know how to deal with them. But don't worry, my aunt will find a way to raise money as soon as possible, but no...... Let's sell this yard! ”
Wei Xue reluctantly looked around, at the house, at the blacksmith furnace and the straw mat pergola for striking iron.
Usually I feel noisy when I listen to the tinkling bells there, but now it is cold and makes people feel panicked.
This is the "home" they bought with great difficulty, and they are really reluctant to sell it again.
I thought I finally had a place to stay, but I didn't expect to continue to drift again.
"Auntie, I didn't lie to them just now, I really planned to give it a try!" Wei Yi said with a serious face.
"Yi'er, your hand is used to pick up a pen and write, and it is not for rough work, you can't do this iron, and you shouldn't do it, your task is to study hard, he will become famous every day, and your aunt and your second uncle will die blindly!" Wei Xue said with a serious expression.
She was really reluctant to let Wei Yi do the rough work of striking iron, and she didn't want Wei Yi to be a blacksmith like Wei Tieshan.
"Yes, brother, you have a specialization in art, you are a scholar, not a blacksmith, and you have just recovered from a serious illness, your body has not yet recovered, you can't make any more efforts, let's find a way, you are so smart, you will definitely think of other ways!" The sad tears on Wei Qing's face hadn't dried yet, but she was concerned about Wei Yi's physical safety.
Wei Yi also knew that his sister and aunt were not saying pretty things.
They are very affectionate and even doting on themselves on weekdays.
Give yourself everything that is good, and never be willing to let yourself do rough work.
"Auntie, Qing'er, I am also a man of the Wei family, the second uncle has an accident now, I have to carry this family, believe me, there is nothing I can't do.
It's okay to read, and it's okay to strike iron, we will definitely get through this difficulty, auntie, don't be in a hurry to sell the house first! Wei Yi said categorically.
Immediately without further ado, he walked straight towards the blacksmith's furnace.
Then he said to the bored boy who was sitting by the blacksmith's furnace, with a branch in his mouth, "Stone, light the fire, and start burning!" ”
Originally, there were several guys in the blacksmith shop, but basically they were all for the second uncle.
Or be in charge of some low-end ironwork forging.
But after the second uncle's accident, the family became a mess, and the aunt didn't understand the blacksmith shop.
Moreover, all the money in the family was used to serve as a servant, and there was no money for them, so they were temporarily dismissed.
And the stone is an orphan picked up by the second uncle.
Although this kid has a tendon and is a little stupid, he is very obsessed with striking iron and is also very obedient.
So the second uncle accepted him as an apprentice.
After all, in the second uncle's opinion, his craftsmanship cannot be inherited by his nephew, and there must always be someone to inherit it.
"Good!" Hearing Wei Yi's words, the stone suddenly became interested and began to light the furnace fire.
Although he was not very old, he was very powerful, and the bellows were whirring by him, and the fire was blown very vigorously.
It didn't take long for the iron to be burned.
Wei Yi put on his protective skirt, rolled up his sleeves, put on gloves, picked up the iron clip, took out a piece of iron from the blacksmith's furnace, and put it on top of the anvil.
Holding the hammer in his right hand is indeed a bit heavy.
But it's not that I can't really mention it, I'm a big man anyway, and I still have this bit of strength.
Wei Yi picked up the hammer and smashed it down.
Bell –
With the splash of iron sparks, a number suddenly popped up in front of Wei Yi's eyes.
"What's going on?" Wei Yi blinked, thinking that it was the splashing sparks, which dazzled him.
He picked up the hammer again and slammed it down again.
With the sound of a bell, another number popped up in front of his eyes.
This time, Wei Yi was sure that he was not dazzled.
He was surprised in his heart, but also had a hint of expectation, and immediately picked up the hammer again, and struck the iron one after another.
Bell - bell - bell - bell -
With the hammer constantly smashing on the red iron.
What fell in Wei Yi's eyes, in addition to the sparks, there were also the numbers that kept popping up.
80! 80! 80!
"What the hell are these numbers?" Wei Yi was curious.
But at this moment, a lot of information suddenly flooded into his mind.
At the same time, a translucent progress bar appeared in front of me.
A few gilded characters on it: The Liver Emperor system has been successfully activated!
