It's not that he is superstitious, but that the current situation is not optimistic.
"Yes, Mr. Zili."
Li Min was thinking about a question when he came out of the palace.
Now that he has come out, the identity of the prince is gone.
His enemies were probably dying of joy.
For example, Xu Jingzong, Li Chengqian, etc., and of course, there is also a pair of Changsun Wuji and his son who do not pose a threat. Now he has also moved them to Shandong and Henan.
These people definitely wouldn't dare to harm him openly, but secretly, they might cause something to happen.
Especially the two people mentioned earlier.
They are also members of the imperial court.
He was still thinking about what to do before, but now he doesn't have to worry too much.
With Xue Rengui as his right-hand assistant, he has nothing to fear anymore.
He stared at Xue Rengui for a long time.
Xue Rengui may be able to solve the problem.
As long as he is here, what is he?
Xue Rengui was puzzled.
Why is he being looked at like this?
Did you say the wrong thing?
Or is there something on your face?
Finally, Li Min spoke.
"Xue Rengui."
"exist!"
"Let me ask you a question, what weapon will you use?"
"Eighteen kinds of weapons are fine. It's just that I prefer heavier weapons. That makes sense."
In history, Xue Rengui used the Fangtian Painted Halberd, but this kind of weapon was not allowed among the people.
The law of the Tang Dynasty allowed civilians to hold bows, arrows, knives, spears, short spears and other short weapons. For example, some long soldiers were not allowed to hold them, and Fang Tian's painted halberd was among them.
Now that he is not in the court, Fang Tian Hua Ji cannot be used. But there should be a better choice.
"What does Mr. Zili mean by asking this?"
"You should wear a weapon for protection."
He had a hunch that it might really come in handy one day.
Without weapons, Xue Rengui's combat power would be much weaker.
But what weapon is suitable for him?
The long soldier cannot choose.
For short-range combat, a broadsword is probably the most suitable.
"Yes, in this way we can better protect Mr. Zili."
Xue Rengui also realized this.
How to fight an enemy with weapons with bare hands?
"Zhushan."
"yes!"
"Is there a place nearby where I can sell weapons?"
"Yes, there is, but the texture is not very good, and it is not as good as the material of our horseshoes. Why don't we go to the blacksmith shop I used to make them?"
Even Zhu Shan didn't think it was a good idea and even suggested it.
Because he knew that ordinary weapons would definitely not be able to satisfy Xue Rengui's use.
A being who can hold up a war horse with one hand is not an ordinary being.
"Mr. Zili, I agree with Zhu Shan.
By the way, I once worked as a blacksmith's apprentice for a year and made many weapons for the Tang army. How about I build one myself? You just need to provide enough iron."
When Li Min heard it, Xue Rengui actually knew how to forge iron. That was great. With his own formula, the two of them would definitely be able to create a more powerful weapon.
"Okay, Zhu Shan, go and prepare the special equipment for blacksmithing, as well as the iron ingots. Here are ten taels of silver, and it's up to you to buy them!"
"yes!"
Zhu Shan took the money and went to take care of everything.
Ten taels of silver is enough. If there is any left, he will come back. He naturally knows this.
Less than an hour later, Zhu Shan came back.
Then, a set of blacksmithing equipment was set up in the backyard.
That's really all-inclusive.
"Mr. Zili, I will start refining it now. As far as I know, there is a kind of steel in the world that is made for Baidu. The texture is very strong, and it can be used to make a good knife!"
Xue Rengui said this, it seems that he has some information.
Li Min objected.
Because he found something better.
That is bearing steel. The so-called bearing steel is the steel used to make balls, rollers and bearing rings. Bearing steel has high and uniform hardness and wear resistance, as well as high elastic limit.
If you use this kind of steel to make a knife, it is simply invincible.
And the weight is also guaranteed.
"No! Bailiang Steel is not the strongest existence. I have a kind of steel here that is even more powerful."
Um?
As soon as he said this, Xue Rengui was a little shocked.
Is there any existence with more powerful knowledge than him?
Does Li Min really understand?
Zhu Shan was okay. When he saw Xue Rengui acting like this, he explained:
"A few days ago, Mr. Zili used his method to refine horseshoes. The quality was so good that even veteran blacksmiths who have been working for decades agreed. Should Mr. Zili use that kind of iron?"
Zhu Shan spoke for himself instead.
But not this.
He said: "No, that kind of thing is still too bad! It doesn't work, so I gave this steel a new name, and it's called Tangshan Iron and Steel!"
Still bad? No way. Nowadays, horseshoes can surpass iron by more than 90%!
There are even more powerful ones:
If it is said to be bearing steel, they may not understand it, but if it is said to be Tangshan Iron and Steel, it will be much easier to understand.
"Then how to refine it? Do you have any details?"
Xue Rengui asked.
"Wait a minute, I'll show you the shape first!"
So he drew it according to the shape of the knife he searched on the Internet. The knife was very domineering and looked extremely sharp.
"How about this knife?"
He showed it to Xue Rengui.
Xue Rengui was overjoyed.
"Great, I like this knife! It suits me so well, I must make it!"
Since he is satisfied, that's the best.
Then, Li Min said:
"The carbon content of Tangshan Iron and Steel is about 1%, and the chromium content is about 1.5%. It improves the hardness, wear resistance and hardenability, and then appropriately adds some silicon, manganese, molybdenum, etc. to make it more functional."
I was so excited for a moment that he was talking about such professional knowledge. How could the two of them understand it?
"Mr. Zili, what are you talking about?"
Xue Rengui and Zhu Shan were very puzzled. What on earth was Li Min talking about?
Only then did Li Min realize that they didn't understand what he just said in ancient times.
So I searched again.
I quickly found other methods.
But the process is a little troublesome.
But the result is the same.
"Oh, it's nothing. I will write down the tempering method. Xue Rengui, you can temper it according to this method!"
"Yes! Then I'll go and heat up the stove first!"
Xue Rengui said this.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of clanking iron was heard in the backyard of the restaurant.
Xue Rengui is surprisingly focused and takes every step very carefully.
After many failures, come again.
If you fail again, try again.
This lasted until the next day.
When Li Min was still sleeping, Zhu Shan trotted to his door and shouted:
"Sixth Prince! Sixth Prince! The knife made by Tang Gang is finally finished! It's finished!"
When Li Min heard this, he got up immediately.
So fast?
He put on his clothes and walked out of the room.
"Come on, let's go take a look!"
I was thinking, what kind of surprise would Xue Rengui give him?
