Chapter 1334： 640 Encounter (1/2)
Xiao Yi's hand was unconsciously slightly pressed, and the edges of the silk paper immediately showed deep wrinkles.
Seeing that something was wrong with him, Old Fang was busy: ”A Yi, if there is something in Luo Yuecheng, you should go back first, and Grandma will stay here for a few more days.”
Xiao Yi smiled and said freely: ”Maternal grandfather, don't worry, it's not a big deal.” He shoved the piece of silk paper into his sleeve, waved his hand at Wang Chaoyuan, and let him back down.
The curtain was lowered, and Xiao Yi smiled and squeezed a carved plume into Nangongyu's mouth.
Mrs. Fang laughed cheerfully, and he knew that Xiao Yi had a sense of merit. Since it was not a rush, it was obviously not a big deal.
With an order, the carriage continued to move forward, and the target clearly went to the western suburbs.
Today they are going to a smelting workshop in the western suburbs of Heyu City.
This is only one of dozens of smelting workshops in Fang's family, but it is the most important one. Almost half of Fang's best masters are here.
The smelting workshop is unavoidable, and the noise is constant. Therefore, Fang Jia deliberately set up the smelting workshop in a small village about five or six miles away from Yucheng. In this small village, most of the blacksmiths working in the smelting workshop and their relatives.
Along the way, Mrs. Fang introduced this smelting workshop roughly.
Nangong Yuan has never been to a smelting workshop before, and was very interested.
There were bursts of laughter in the carriage, and Mr. Zhao, who was accompanying him, listened to Old Fang's hearty laughter, and sighed a little.
Anyway, the smelting workshop is not far away. The driver simply slowed down and moved forward smoothly without any trouble.
The flowers and scent of spring field birds make the people feel relaxed. It seems to be coming to spring, not for business.
About half an hour later, Mr. Zhao pointed to the front and said, ”Old lady, it's almost here ... it's just ahead.”
Thrush opened the corner of the curtain with curiosity, looked out, and found the location of the smelting workshop at a glance.
It wasn't how good her eyes were, but it was only a short while before, and it was reasonable to say that the time to leave the fire was still far away, but in the village in front there was a raging gray smoke ...
When the carriage approached a little, you could faintly hear the sound of rattling ...
A middle-aged steward of the smelting workshop had been waiting there with a few masters for a long time. When the steward saw the arrival of Xiao Yi and Mrs. Fang, they came forward to welcome him.
After seeing the ceremony, Mr. Zhao introduced Mr. Zhang's middle-aged manager to everyone, and then he said, ”Zhang, Mr. and Mrs. Shi want to look around here. You are leading the way.”
”Yes Yes!”
The chapter manager echoed in unison and bowed for a plea.
The smelting workshop is just behind the village, while Zhang Guanshi leads the way, he introduces the village to everyone.
This village is called Tiemen Village. At this time, the men are working in the smelting workshop, so the village is empty, and only occasionally I see one or two women in their yard or taking care of the vegetable plots or sitting on the seams. The clothes, all looked at Xiao Yi and his party curiously.
The closer to the smelting workshop at the back, the louder and louder the tapping sound, and gradually, the surrounding air became hot.
Passing through the village, you can see a row of gray bungalows in front of it. About dozens of them are neatly arranged together. At a glance, they occupy at least a dozen acres.
Zhang Guanshi pointed to the row of bungalows and said, ”Old lady, grandson, the rows of houses over there are forged houses.”
In words, they came to one of the bungalows. In the large room, steaming, like a huge stove, there were dozens of shirtless and sweaty Hans standing in a seat with hand-drawn bellows. In front of the stove, holding a hammer and banging ...
clang! clang! clang!
The sound of hammering continued, as if knocking down on their hearts, this scene saw an inexplicable deterrent in Nangong's eyes.
But it is a small hammer that can forge various irons for daily use, and even various weapons. It is really incredible to think about it.
Zhang Guanshi yelled aloud: ”The batch of Tieya, which was set by Shizi ’s grandfather, has completed a total of 180,000 yuan yesterday, which is still the last 20,000. The blacksmiths are rushing to make the system. Don't go and see first? ”
Zhang Guanshi was a little thankful that he learned yesterday that the grandfather would come to the smelting workshop with the grandfather. Fortunately, the grandfather had explained it early. The military needs of the southern Xinjiang were the most important. He must not miss the grandfather of the grandfather. Therefore, all blacksmiths these days They are giving priority to catching these Tieya.
Xiao Yixi smiled and laughed: ”Maternal grandfather, this is a coincidence. Zhu Xing said that the sky would be one hundred thousand silver. It happened to be one-handed money delivery and one-handed delivery.” Then, he glanced at Nangongxi with a smile. At a glance, thanks to his stinky girl who found him a silver mine, he gave birth to a cornucopia, and he was not worried about military resources for the time being.
Mrs. Fang laughed and said, ”Ai, is your grandfather afraid that you can't run away? ... And this batch of iron ya is your iron ore. The grandfather collects most of your processing money. Where does it cost fifty thousand?”
”Maternal grandfather, I just made 250 iron ore, which is far from enough 200,000 iron ya.” The 250 iron ore was tricked by Nangong Yu from Baiyue, But these iron ore can only create less than 100,000 iron rods, and the rest can lose the credit of Old Fang's credit.
Mrs. Fang reluctantly said, ”Even if that is the case, Ai, there is too much silver!”
Zhang Guanshi heard something unexpected. He thought that this batch of Tieya Shizi had produced a lot of iron ore. The Xinjiang Army is strong, but the South Xinjiang is strong. In the past three years, South Xinjiang has fought in successive years. Although it has been defeated, the South Xinjiang has also suffered a lot of damage. As a South Xinjiang person, it is also necessary to contribute to the South Xinjiang Army.
It turns out that this world grandfather is such a clear public and private person!
It is no wonder that the people in South Xinjiang are now saying that the grandfather of the world is not like the grandfather, and his heart is more like the old grandfather who passed away.
”Maternal grandfather, do you look like I'm a loser?” Xiao Yi joked to Old Fang with a smile, ”Next, I'll make a new batch of Tieya ...” Then he raised The right hand made a gesture, and the bamboo at the back immediately opened the bamboo tube in his hand, opened the lid, took out a rolled parchment paper, and handed it to Xiao Yi.
”Maternal grandfather, this is the new Tieya ...”
New Tekken? Could it be ...
Mrs. Fang glanced at Xiao Yi, and saw him wink at him with a smile, and immediately it seemed that the designs of these new Tieya must come from the hands of Anyihou!
Mrs. Fang immediately became interested. Whether it was the original design of the crossbow or later he developed a new alloy for the arrows used by the crossbow, it has proved that Guanyubai is so amazing. only!
I don't know what incredible surprise he will give this time? !!
This is not the place to speak.
Mrs. Fang raised her eyes and asked the Zhang Guanshi, ”Zhang Guanshi, find a place for us to talk. Also, call Zhang Zhu!”
”Yes, old lady.” Zhang Guanshi responded in a hurry, instructed a young lady to call someone, and led the crowd to a hall, and ordered the people to serve everyone with hot tea and snacks.
After a while, Xiao Zhuo, who had been called before, took Zhang Zhu into the hall.
Zhang Zhu wore a gray short punch. The weather in the early spring was a little bit cold, but Zhang Zhu's dark forehead was covered with sweat and his cheeks were flushed. At a glance, he knew that he had just arrived from the forging house. .
Zhang Guanshi's face twitched. Why didn't he clean up and come over again. Doesn't this look like a snicker? !!
Xiao Yi didn't care, he was an informal person and was impatient with the red tape.
Moreover, he found this drawing to study Tieya's drawing, not to be elegant, and the other person's dress was not important.
After Zhang Zhu saluted the old lady Fang and Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi greeted: ”Zhang Zhu, come and look at this drawing.” Xiao Yi said that the drawings were spread out on the round table.
Zhang Zhu strode forward, glanced down at the drawing, and saw the doorway, blurted out: ”Blood trough!”
The blood groove is a groove located on the ridge or blade of the sword. It is mainly used to bleed and stay after stabbing into the body of a human or animal. Weight, for the user, is a burden reduction, and for the founder, it can save a lot of iron.
However, the blood tank is of course also disadvantageous, that is, it will weaken the strength of the weapon itself.
This disadvantage is more obvious with smaller weapons. Compared to swords, the iron crossbow used by the crossbow is much lighter, and this disadvantage is naturally more significant.
However, the design in front of him is different. The blood groove painted on it is not the conventional one, but a very special arc surface structure. Although Zhang Zhu has never built such a iron arrow, doesn't it mean he won't watch it? !! Once Tie Ya uses a curved blood groove like the design, the adverse effects of the blood tank on Tie Ya will be minimized, and its power to kill the enemy will be greater.
”Wonderful, really wonderful.” Zhang Zhu stared at the drawing without blinking, his eyes burning, as if to burn the parchment paper out of two holes.
Xiao Yi's mouth twitched, this man really is an expert.
”Zhang Zhu,” Xiao Yi said again, ”you might make this kind of arrow?”
Zhang Zhu didn't answer immediately, and stared at the drawing for a while, his mouth moved slightly, and Zhang Guan, who was looking aside, was anxious, and shouted reminder: ”Master Zhang ...”
