Chapter 10 Mine Valley Rivers and Lakes

The next day, the blacksmith began to light the fire and turn on the furnace to complete the task, and the Kong family helped with the housework, and the two children gradually became familiar with each other, and played in the yard.

Lin Wen took Su Qingyun into the courtyard and watched the two little guys fight, and asked the blacksmith, "Big brother, do you know why the people brought us here?"

The blacksmith smiled: "Of course it's herding cattle, isn't it that we're striking iron?"

Lin Wen laughed, remembering the joke he made that day, so he said with a straight face: "Big brother should know that now this area is all in the Guiyi country, and the iron mine where we are located is not big?"

The blacksmith said, "Of course it's big." ”

Lin Wendao: "Big brother should also know that my Great Yan Country is a salt and iron franchise, and this iron mine should have been ...... before."

The blacksmith said, "It must be from the official family." ”

Lin Wendao: "If the official's iron mine wants to make iron, will it also make iron pots and ploughshares?"

The blacksmith reacted and asked in surprise, "You mean we're going to build weapons?"

Seeing Lin Wen nodding solemnly, the blacksmith threw away the guy in his hand and scolded: "His grandmother's land, I won't do it." ”

Lin Wen hurriedly dissuaded: "Big brother, don't get excited, let's take a look first, let's stop doing it, there are still people who do it, we still have to take care of Rui'er." ”

When the blacksmith heard about his son, he calmed down a little and asked, "What does my brother think?"

Lin Wendao: "Let's do it first and then see, and then think of a way." The blacksmith thought about it right, and began to work.

Of course, Su Qingyun knew what Lin Wen meant, he could still hear their conversation in the courtyard, and when he saw Lin Wen acting cautiously, he was also very happy in his heart, so he immediately walked into the blacksmith shop and said to Blacksmith Kong: "Brother Kong, you come to teach me to make iron, and you can't let you do this work alone!"

The blacksmith looked at Su Qingyun and said, "Brother Su really wants to come to strike iron! ”

It turned out that if you want to be fast, you need a sledgehammer, a small hammer, the sledgehammer only needs to be smashed, but the small hammer needs to be skillfully matched, the blacksmith saw that Su Qingyun was yellow and thin, so he gave him a small hammer, Su Qingyun did not shirk, picked up the small hammer, and fought under the guidance of the blacksmith.

Su Qingyun only struck a hammer, and the blacksmith was a little dumbfounded, he rounded the sledgehammer and hit it, and the iron was deformed so much; Su Qingyun seemed to hit it lightly with a small hammer, and the iron deformation was greater than what he hit with a sledgehammer, and the head of the small hammer was sunk into the red-hot pig iron, but he easily took it out. The blacksmith stopped and looked at Su Qingyun, not knowing what to say.

Lin Wen laughed and said to Blacksmith Kong: "Brother Kong, I said that I chose him correctly!"

The blacksmith hurriedly said, "That's right, that's right. Lin Wen looked at the ordinary pig iron that he had brought back first and the finished products to be made, and he could only shake his head.

The blacksmith saw that Su Qingyun's skills were extraordinary, and thought that in this troubled world, his son also needed good skills, so he begged Su Qingyun to teach his son to practice. Su Qingyun also knew that it was very boring for children to practice alone, and her daughter also needed a companion to practice, and she was practicing some basic skills at the beginning, and there was nothing to keep secrets, so she agreed to him immediately.

Lin Wen didn't care, Kong Rui's ability was certainly good for him.

Kong Rui has a better teacher and a playmate, and he doesn't have to go to the school to study, of course, he is even happier, running around all day long.

When striking iron, it is Kong blacksmith who personally cuts the material and guides Su Qingyun or Lin Wen to hammer, and the two of them learn very quickly, and their strength is much greater than that of ordinary people, so naturally the iron is played quickly and well, and the materials can be saved a lot, so Lin Wen and they hid the pig iron they saved.

Every day, the task here of the blacksmith Kong was quickly completed, and for a lot of time, Su Qingyun was guiding Kong Rui and Su Yun to practice in the hall, Lin Wen acted cautiously, and the task of striking iron was completed, or let Kong Rui take the hammer and clank on the anvil for a while, while boiling his strength, he also confused others.

Su Qingyun also often went out to contact his subordinates to learn about other situations, and assigned some tasks by the way, and also followed Lin Wen's advice to find some reliable people to help him collect poisonous snakes and centipedes.

Venom or venom glands of poisons such as scorpions.

In this way, three months passed quickly, and on weekdays, the people only collected the finished products, distributed money and grain, pig iron, and charcoal, and did not care about anything else; Lin Wen and Su Qingyun were also quite happy to find this rule, and their actions in the valley gradually increased.

But no one expected that the folk customs in the area of the blacksmith's workshop were slowly deteriorating.

It turns out that these blacksmiths are all hard-working people recruited from all over the country, at the beginning, everyone can help each other, and there is a response to each other.

I don't want to go on for a long time, due to the increasing pressure on the blacksmith workshop here, the management of the yakini people is also loose, and many blacksmith families' calculations of the yakini people are slowly transferred to their own compatriots.

It turned out that the workshops here were all for soldiers, and six people were in charge of one workshop, but there were two blacksmiths and four auxiliary assistants.

And now because of the lack of blacksmiths, each workshop is a blacksmith, five family members or assistants, but the amount of tasks is more than the amount of tasks of two blacksmiths, most of the workshops can not complete the task, so some unscrupulous people began to steal and rob, and later, it soon developed into murder.

They don't mind the mutual vendetta between the people of the Great Yan Country, they just care about their own interests, and externally they just want to protect the blacksmiths from decreasing, so the only requirement of the people of the Yakini people is not to do anything to the blacksmith himself, otherwise he will be severely punished, and nothing else will matter.

This is actually a disguised acquiescence to these bad behaviors, and over time, these bad habits have slowly spread to the mining area, and the people in the whole valley are calculating with each other, often causing deaths.

After a while, some people began to form gangs and factions, each taking refuge to find a backer, and from time to time there were large-scale group fights. Some blacksmith shops began to build weapons, or to defend themselves or sell them, and even formed a black market, and for a time, there was intrigue and intrigue in the mining valley, and there was extortion, extortion, and abduction.

Due to the heavier and easier tasks of the blacksmiths, the atmosphere in the blacksmith workshop area was even worse, and all kinds of messy things happened from time to time, and as soon as the workshop was short of manpower, new people were immediately added from outside.

The newcomers have just arrived, if they are not relatives, they have to endure the oppression of the old people in the workshop, but also have to guard against the looting of other workshop personnel, and many people have been killed.

Sometimes it was too much trouble and the blacksmith was killed, and the demon cultivator would come forward to suppress it once or twice, and kill a lot of people, and the rest of the time, as long as the blacksmiths were able to complete the task, the demon cultivator would no longer care.

Lin Wen had also seen the Demon Cultivator's move, and when he saw his clever methods and ruthlessness, he was also afraid in his heart.

Fortunately, there are two people here, Su Qingyun and Lin Wen, although neither of them is willing to show off, but it is more than enough to deal with ordinary people; their courtyard has also been robbed several times, but the people who came to steal and rob have suffered a lot, and after a long time, no one dares to beat their ideas, and no one dares to bully or rob her even when Kong goes out.

Lin Wen was really interested in this kind of scene, so he took the opportunity to live in the same house with Kong Rui, constantly taught Kong Rui how to survive in this environment, and often encouraged him to go out and practice.

Kong Rui was young, he was surprised by everything, and he was willing to go out and take risks, so he often went in and out of the market, and played with those blacksmith helpers who had nothing to do, but fortunately, Lin Wen followed him, and came back safely and without danger several times. After coming down many times, the blacksmith couple gradually became less worried.

Su Qingyun disdained Lin Wen's approach, on the one hand, he secretly instructed his subordinates to also organize gangs, find available people in the gangs, and strengthen their own power, and on the other hand, he asked his subordinates to pay attention to their own safety and strengthen ties to avoid accidental injury. As soon as he had time, he taught his two children martial arts cultivation, and when the father and daughter lived in the same room, he often taught Su Yun some teachings of Shiming Mountain.
