Chapter 195 Panye Old

Marriage, a very old word.

For Qin Qing, she would never help Liu Kan easily. Even if she knew very well that Qin Man liked Liu Kan, as long as Liu Kan and Qin Man had no results for one day, she would not come forward to help Liu Kan in one day. It is undeniable that if Qin Qing came forward, it could bring benefits to the Qin family. But that was only immediate benefits... and Qin Qing cared more about the future of the Qin family.

No one can understand the situation of the Qin family better than Qin Qing.

Qin Qing knew the truth that prosperity and decline were very clear. On the surface, the Qin family today is indeed full of glory. But this glory, as she said, was based on her living conditions. Of course, if Qin Man could marry Fusu and the Qin Dynasty could continue, the Qin family would not have any problems for at least a hundred years. But the question is, can the Qin Dynasty last?

The Qin family has a little bit of yin and yang.

The most outstanding person in the third generation is Qin Man. But Qin Man is a girl and has some fatal flaws in her personality.

If the Qin Dynasty declines, the world will usher in an unimaginable chaos.

In the chaotic times, a person who is extremely strong, capable, capable, and flexible is needed to take charge of the overall situation. At this point, Qin Man is obviously not qualified. Therefore, Qin Qing needs to plan a future for the Qin family. Although she has never met Liu Kan, from the observations over the past few years, Liu Kan meets her requirements. No matter which aspect, Liu Kan is a suitable candidate.

In the rise of Qin Dynasty, Liu Kan has already received the attention of Fusu, and will definitely become an important official after Meng Tian in the future.

He is only twenty years old now, and has received tenth-class military titles, and is the chief of Zuo Shu. More importantly, Liu Kan is the military chief in the Sihong area. According to Qin Qing's investigation, Liu Kan was deeply admired by the powerful and powerful courts, and there is Ren Xiao from the south to support him. The future is unlimited.

The Qin family and him join forces will definitely be able to maintain their foundation in Bashu.

If the Qin Dynasty perishes, it doesn't matter.

Judging from Liu Kan's current situation, he is not a man who is willing to live under others. He has the strength and ability, and a group of capable people have gathered around him, and his wings have been established. If the turmoil comes, with Liu Kan's capital, he will definitely be able to make a name for himself in troubled times.

No matter whether the Qin Dynasty prospers or falls...

The Qin family and Liu Kan's marriage will definitely continue to develop and survive. Taking a step back, even if Liu Kan fails, he can still maintain the land of Bashu and become a prince with the means of Liu Kan. This is not unacceptable to Qin Qing.

But the problem is that Liu Kan already has a wife.

Let Qin Man be a young man? Qin Qing definitely disagrees, and the Qin family can't afford to lose face. It only depends on what choice Liu Kan will make in the end.

Qin Qing must make proper arrangements and even more careful planning.

As for Qin Man, she also guessed Qin Qing’s thoughts. But she was far from what Qin Qing thought, and so far.

There was a faint shyness in my heart, but more of a joy. After the messenger was sent, Qin Man began to wait anxiously.

At this time, Liu Kan was in the iron hut, holding a drawing and watching silently.

Next to Liu Kan, there were three people sitting upright. Cheng Miao was in the middle, looking a little lazy, as if he was very tired.

The first place above is an ascetic who is over thirty years old.

He sat on the couch and stared at the wheel of the car placed in front of him curiously. Maybe someone was surprised, what's good about a wheel of a car?

The ascetic doesn't see one wheel, but two wheels.

However, there is an arm-thick axle connected between the two wheels, making the wheel form an organic whole.

The ascetic pushed it and saw the wheel rolling to the other side.

An old man over 50 years old is watching seriously...

He is not tall, only about seven feet long. However, he is solid and very strong. His hands are big, like a palm-leaf fan.

The most distinctive thing is his eyebrows.

Under a pair of snow-white eyebrows, there were slender eyes.

He stretched out his hand and stabilized the wheels. He kept looking up and down.

"Old Pan, what do you think the wheels made by the commander?" The ascetic raised his head and looked at the old man and asked with a smile.

"wonderful!"

The old man said softly, then rubbed the axle, "The design of the Duwei is indeed very wonderful. It not only prevents the wheels from sliding off, but also enhances the stability of the light vehicle. However, there are still some details that need to be adjusted. If assembled, it can at least increase the combat power of the tank by 30%. However, those tanks may also need to be modified accordingly."

This old man is the great master, Panye, introduced by the ascetic.

Panye Lao is also from a famous family. His twelve generations all focus on casting weapons, and they are also good at servitude and are quite talented. However, his talent is not valued. Especially after the First Emperor confiscated the gold and copper of the world, folk workshops were not allowed to cast weapons without authorization. Talented people like Panye Lao have a sense of arrogance in their bones, and would rather wash their hands than build tools like hoes and sickles. Those who are qualified to build weapons are of course unlikely to value a refiner craftsman.

Even though Panye is famous, he has not been very satisfied over the years.

Therefore, when the ascetics sent him an invitation, on the one hand, he was a family friend of the ascetics, and the father of the ascetics, and always became sworn brothers with Panye. On the other hand, he did not want to waste his skills. He also heard that Liu Kan was eager to seek talent and had the style of Mengchangjun... So he came to Lou Cang with the thought of taking a look. But then, he was attracted by the vitality of Lou Cang.

Liu Kan also attaches great importance to Panye Lao.

The reason is that the ascetic told Liu Kan in private that Pan Ye Lao mastered an extremely precious skill called Seventy-Two Refinings!

What is the Seventy-Two Refinings?

Simply put, it is a smelting technology.

Before the Spring and Autumn Period, the smelting technology was relatively primitive and called the "block refining method". Charcoal is used as fuel, and the heat is small. In addition, the furnace body is small and the blowing equipment is poor, so the furnace temperature is very low and the iron melting temperature cannot reach the iron. Therefore, the iron refined is mostly spongy solid blocks.

Weapons created using this block refining method are naturally unavailable.

By the end of the Warring States Period, after five hundred years of development, smelting technology also achieved rapid improvements. Although this period was mainly bronze weapons, some trainers did not stop further research. During the process of forging blocks and shaping iron, they were constantly heated repeatedly. The iron absorbed the carbon part in the charcoal, increased the carbon content, and reduced inclusions, and became steel.

This steel has a tight structure and a uniform carbon component, and is already suitable for casting weapons and knives.

After the painstaking study of the twelve generations, the Pan family created the technique of seventy-two refinings based on the method of nine refinings.

When making objects, the number of folding and forging was consciously increased. A piece of steel often needs to be burned, beaten, beaten, and beaten many times. With the materials and equipment that people could master in the late Warring States Period, Panjia finally determined the limit of 72 times.

The weapons created through this method have finer tissues, more uniform composition, and higher quality.

The only troublesome thing is that this technique is too cumbersome and costs a lot of money. To create a good weapon, it not only takes a lot of money, but also takes a long time. Ordinary people cannot afford it or this time, so it is not very popular. Besides, the bronze ware is at its peak at this time. It takes and time to create a weapon with the method of 72 refining, and can create hundreds of excellent bronze weapons. Even princes and nobles are unwilling to try 72 refining.

Panye's old man was unsatisfied, on the one hand, because of the law, but most importantly, he hoped to promote the seventy-two refining methods through his hands. In addition, he had high requirements for the quality of weapons, and a weapon that was already very good to others may be just a bad product in his eyes. In this way, fewer and fewer people were looking for him to build weapons, and until now he lost his reputation.

What exactly is the technique of Seventy-Two Refining?

Liu Kan didn't know either.

However, through the introduction of the ascetic, Liu Kan keenly realized that this so-called seventy-two refining technique was probably the prototype of the "hundred steel refining" that people talked about hundreds of years later. Therefore, when Panye returned from checking the water quality, Liu Kan led his confidant troops to go out of Lou Cang City to welcome him. He moved Panye, and burst into tears at that time and was loyal to Liu Kan.

People in this era are very cunning, but they also have simplicity and loyalty that are far from comparable to later generations.

The idea of ​​a scholar dying for his confidant has been deeply engraved in the bones of many people. The more he is at the bottom of society, the more unsatisfied the person, the more likely he is to be moved. Later, Panye Lao heard that Liu Kan had a magic weapon in his hand, so he asked for a look. However, after Liu Kan took out the red flag, Panye Lao couldn't help crying loudly. This red flag... turned out to be the hand of Panye's grandfather.

Panye's grandfather spent his energy on forging the red flag.

Fortunately, the Kan family had the capital at that time, and their daughters sought a magic weapon, and they gave support in all aspects.

Pan Ye’s grandfather, Pan Jin, the master of the great master at that time, actually used the method of refining that was only one concept, so he created the Red Flag.

However, the second year after the successful construction of the Red Flag, Pan Jin died of illness.

The method of refining hundreds of times was lost. Panye was naturally extremely excited to see the magic weapon forged by his grandfather's grandfather's efforts.

It was this magic weapon that made Pan Ye follow Liu Kan wholeheartedly.

He sent someone to take all his family from Damo to Lou Cang. Pano seemed to be rejuvenated in the second spring, and he was full of energy and was particularly excited.

After reading the chariot transformation drawings drawn by Panye Lao, Liu Kan handed them back to Panye Lao.

"Old Pan!"

Liu Kan thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "There are 54 soldiers and chariots in my building and warehouse, and they will be handed over to you to transform them. In addition, I hope you will control the Tielu, and I have some small items that you need to worry about. These things must not be easily spread.

How much money and how much time it takes...

I don't care! I only have one request. Before I get my permission, the secrets in Tielu must not be known.

I will order Lu Shizhi to be on guard outside Tielu. Without my order, no one except you, father and son, will be allowed to enter Tielu. To the outside world, you only say that you are building farm tools for me. If someone asks you, you will tell the traveler immediately, and the traveler should know what to do."

The implication of this is to beware of spies.

Although he did not understand the true intention of Liu Kan's order, Pan Ye Lao and the Ascetic both felt the seriousness in Liu Kan's words.
