Now Chu Qing was ashamed. He didn't even ask what kind of weapon he would use and just made it randomly. Chu Qing rubbed his hands and didn't know what to do. He simply took apart the spear section by section and showed it to him.

The total length of this gun is about two meters. The dimensions here are different from modern ones, but the difference is not very big. The blade is nearly forty centimeters long and the blade is two and a half fingers wide.

The entire spear can be disassembled into three sections and can be combined at will. When not in use, the spear head can be inserted into the barrel to become a long stick. Or the spear head section can be removed to become a short stick, or it can be connected head to tail to become a short spear.

Chu Yuan was fascinated by it! He thought it was so interesting. He danced like a short stick for a while, and waved it like a long-handled sword for a while. He couldn't put it down. Although he had not systematically learned how to use weapons, it was fun to watch when he danced.

Very cool.

"Boss, for this good thing, I have to learn a few weapons!" Chu Yuan said excitedly.

"Okay, I'll follow you to the General Military Mansion tomorrow to deliver things, and then I'll see if I can find a chance to hire a master for you."

"Really? Come on!"

Hong Liang was very happy to get the horse-killing sword. The other day he saw Zhang Mingyu's double sword and was envious because there were few people using the double sword and it looked fresh. If he really wants to get two swords, he probably just plays with them in his spare time and

Not practical.

As a leading general, there are basically no opportunities for melee combat, otherwise why would the soldiers be used? Besides, a general on horseback cannot reach the enemy with his sword.

This horse-cutting sword is different. When the tip of the sword is pointed forward, it is the baton of charge; when it is slashed left and right, it can just harvest the heads of enemy soldiers under the horse. The length of the sword is just suitable for his height and arm length.

The key is that this knife is really good steel, with both toughness and strength. He thought it would take a few months for Chu Qing to get him a knife, but he didn't expect to get it so quickly.

Hong Liang held the knife in one hand for a while, doing forehand and backhand chops; and held the knife with both hands for a while, dashing left and right in the yard, treating the air as an enemy, and kept saying "Ha!" "Ah!" "Hey!"

"

This is life again! How childish! Mrs. Hong couldn't bear to look at her and dragged Chu Qing into the house. Then she and Chu Qing went to study how to apply eyeliner. She particularly liked the eyeliner that Chu Qing painted last time, but she just used eyebrow makeup

She was painted because she was afraid of sweating. She had gained weight again and was afraid of the heat.

The two of them studied for a long time, but Hong Liang was not over the mood yet. Chu Qing was about to leave. Before leaving, he asked Mrs. Hong: "Madam, I have a servant who knows some kung fu, but has no combat experience. He can't even use weapons.

"Master Hong, if you have a retired veteran or something, can you recommend him? I want to find a master for my servant. If he can teach me well, he can also protect me and Xiaobao."

In fact, it was a bit presumptuous to do this, considering who he was and who she was. But Mrs. Hong agreed without hesitation at all, because she felt that she always admired Chu Qing. He could kill people, put on makeup, and lead

If you have a child and you can make steel, there is nothing you can't do, only things you can't imagine.

Chu Qing didn't know that he had a second-grade Gaoming as a fan, so he went home and waited for the letter.

It is said that Hong Liang got a good knife and wandered around his house, feeling like he was walking at night in fine clothes. He would feel sorry for himself if he didn't go out and scream with such a good thing. So he got on his horse and went to inspect the mine, where he was

of a camp.

But he really didn't go to his barracks, he ran to the newly built weapons workshop. First, he went to see the weapons made there; second, he found someone to make a scabbard for him, which also had to be decorated with red copper; third,

Okay, the first two points are just excuses, he just wants to show off.

In the warehouse over at the weapons shop, many sabers have not been produced yet, and it seems that the speed is not very good. The ones stored are all standard narrow knives used by soldiers. When I picked them up and looked at them, they were no different from the original ones.

Hong Liang's original weapon was a long knife with a straight blade and a good steel mouth, but it was a little light and it was not very comfortable to chop on the battlefield.

Now this sword is slightly longer than the original one by two inches, with a slight curvature, which makes it easier to use. Because there is no scabbard, it is very eye-catching when hanging around the waist and walking around, which attracted the attention of the weapons shop.

Several bosses paid attention and came up to greet him one after another.

Hong Liang turned left and right and pretended to look around, showing off his saber. This was so good that several of the leaders praised him.

"My lord, you got a new knife? It's a really good knife!"

"My lord, this sword...where did you get it? The steel tip is good!"

"I'm afraid this isn't from our weapons workshop, is it? There are new drawings from the Ministry of Industry?"

"Can't you? The Ministry of Industry doesn't have such good iron."

"This is a hundred steelmaking! What kind of iron is it!"

"But there are no patterns?"

"Sir, can you take it off and let the subordinates have a look?"

Hong Liang watched their discussion with a smile, feeling relieved.

"Sir, where did you get it? Who is the master who forged this sword?" an official asked.

"Hey, this is not something that guys from the Ministry of Industry can do," Hong Liang said, "This is built by the owners of Yamashita Baolu Group."

"Baolu Group? Aren't they selling bricks?" an official asked.

"They don't just do one business." Hong Liang curled his lips.

While he was talking, Li Jin, a doctor in the Yu Department, walked into the weapons workshop. He heard people outside saying that Master Hong was here, and thought that even if a superior official was coming, why should he show up to receive him.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard these people talking about the Baolu Group, and I paid attention. An official from the weapons workshop happened to be holding a zanma sword and came over and said: "Master Li, look at it, this is made by the Yamashita Baolu Group.

I heard Master Hong say that the entire process from refining to forging to finished product was completed by them alone."

Li Jin took the sword and looked at it carefully. Indeed, even the workshops of the Ministry of Industry could not achieve such quality. It seems that the Baolu Group has its own unique secret recipe.

The next day Li Jin came to Baolu Group in person. He first visited the kilns and blast furnaces, as well as the workers' orderly work scenes, before going to see Chu Qing.

Chu Qing did not smelt the ore today because she saw that there were great unsafe factors in some links and needed to make some changes. The workers cleaned the converter and tap channel yesterday and were building guardrails and chimneys around them. Therefore, Li Jin did not

See the converter.

He still looked at Chu Qing with displeasure, but he did not turn his nostrils on him. After the two parties greeted each other, Li Jin got straight to the point and said: "Mr. Chu, I am here to talk to you about cooperation."

Chu Qing wondered why this person came. Even if something happened, shouldn't he have sent his subordinates to tell him?

"I heard that your workshop is not large in scale, but the pig iron it produces is pretty good. So I brought the acquisition deed this time, intending to acquire your blast furnace. To be precise, I am acquiring your blast furnace design drawings.

." Li Jin said and put a hundred taels of silver notes on the table.

One hundred taels is enough to buy bricks for building a blast furnace. This is the cost price of the materials used to build the blast furnace. How about acquiring technology patents? This is a good abacus.

"Master Li, our blast furnace is not much different from your shaft furnace, it's just a different shape." Chu Qing said calmly, "You don't have to spend this wasted money."

Master Lu once said that the structure of this blast furnace is more reasonable, more fuel-efficient than traditional shaft furnaces, and more conducive to increasing the temperature in the furnace. However, Chu Qing did not intend to introduce it in detail. It should be said that this technology patent was not intended to be used by anyone.

Li Jin got it.

"Regardless of whether the difference is big or not, if you can make a knife as good as Master Hong here, it means that your furnace makes iron better, and that's enough." Li Jin said.

"These one hundred taels are enough for you to build several blast furnaces like this, and I am just buying you a piece of paper. What's more, this is a major event for the imperial court to improve iron melting technology and promote iron production, which will benefit the country and the people.

Benefit." Li Jin added.

It seems that this matter was spread by someone with a loud mouth! You are talking nonsense and telling the truth. Look, you got me into this trouble! A piece of paper, a few blast furnaces, look how naturally this concept is changed!

Chu Qing was very dissatisfied: You came here to ask for something so blatantly and under the banner of the imperial court. Didn't your two officials tell you last time that our Secret Investigation Department is not easy to mess with?

I really haven’t said anything. After the old and junior officials went back last time, they chose to keep silent because they didn’t dare to say. First, they were afraid that the superior would know that they had offended the Secret Investigation Department, which might cause trouble for the superior.

What should I do? Can I still keep my job? Secondly, the people in the Secret Investigation Department have said that they will investigate themselves, and they must keep their tail between their legs and be a good person, so that no more mistakes can be made.

Therefore, Li Jin didn't know that Chu Qing had such an identity. Chu Qing didn't change her uniform this time to scare people. She felt that the person in front of her should know that she was from the Secret Investigation Department, and he dared to ask for something so openly.

My seventh-grade official rank might not be able to intimidate others, so I put my Secret Investigation Department badge next to the one hundred taels of silver notes on the table.

Li Jin's calculations in his mind were different from those of the old and junior officials. He did not want to steal Chuqing's technology for his own use. He believed that this technology could not be stolen. As long as ironware with a higher quality than the current quality came out, he would always

will be discovered.

What he considered was that if he classified this patented technology as his own Yubu, and regarded it as a technical innovation that he led the entire department to make for the country as a doctor in the Yubu, then his official career should be smoother.

The right minister of the Ministry of Industry is almost seventy this year, and I have been coveting his position for a long time. I am already in my forties, and if I don't get promoted, I am afraid that I will die of old age in the position of minister.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the badge appear on the table. He was surprised when he heard Chu Qing say: "The blast furnace in Xiaguan is still somewhat unsafe, and we are afraid that the workers will lose their lives. Therefore, the work is being stopped for improvement. But this matter has already been

Report it to the Secret Investigation Department. After all, Xiaguan is just a small flag now and has to raise a child. You understand, sir."

When Chu Qing said this, it sounded like he wanted to use his skills in the blast furnace to rise to an official rank. Being in an officialdom, Li Jin could easily understand this reason.

But Li Jin was still in complete shock and couldn't come to his senses. The annoying woman in front of him turned out to be Xiaoqi from the Secret Investigation Department? Her skills had already been reported? Then why did he want it? He couldn't want it.

Oh no, I don’t dare to ask for it anymore!

After all, he had been in the officialdom for a long time, and he made a quick decision: "Since it is not very safe and human life is at stake, let's leave this matter for now and wait until you improve." After that, he said goodbye and left.

Chu Yuan looked at Jue Chen's carriage and asked Chu Qing: "Boss, why didn't you wear those clothes and scare him to death?"

Chu Qing was a little helpless: "I have a high official position."

"Then what are you afraid of! Officials have to be afraid of death, right? Just like last time, you just pulled out the dagger and stuck it into his banknote, bang!" Chu Yuan said while gesticulating.

This child is becoming more and more relaxed.
