In Youzhou Houfu, Zhou Shu woke up leisurely and leisurely.
He held the Tianji Mirror in his hand and injected a spiritual energy into it.
I have to say that the secret mirror that Shi Songtao gave him is really a good gadget. Although it is not as colorful as the mobile phone in his previous life, it is also a good pastime to look at the weapon catalog when there is nothing to do.
A curtain of light is projected in the air.
Zhou Shu's mind moved slightly, and the list flipped to the Huangpin weapon list.
Ranked first is still the Giant Que Sword.
It is estimated that no one can shake this position in a short time.
The list of top-grade weapons is determined by combining the weapon itself and its performance. The performance of the giant sword can cut off the arm of a first-class martial arts master.
How can other yellow-grade weapons do this?
Zhou Shu was actually a little strange. He clearly killed Xiao Shunzhi with the giant sword, but why was it not shown on the Huangpin weapon chart?
To say that it hasn't been updated yet, that's not true. He has noticed several changes in the ranking of weapons on the Huangpin weapon spectrum.
It can only be said that Tianji Villa does not know everything. They do not know about killing Xiao Shunzhi.
This matter is actually a bit strange. Even if no one was present when he killed Xiao Shunzhi, Xiao Shunzhi's body would definitely be discovered afterwards.
But for some reason, neither Daxia nor Dawei announced this matter.
Zhou Shu later remembered the blood-drinking mad knife, and he didn't know who picked it up or whether it fell into the hands of the Divine Catcher.
These things are not the focus. Zhou Shu's eyes moved downwards. In the fifth place, he saw the name of Songtao Sword.
Shi Songtao is quite capable.
You must know that the Huangpin Weapon Chart contains all the Huangpin weapons forged by all the weapon masters in the world. It is already very difficult for Shi Songtao, a rising star, to rank the Songtao Sword in fifth place.
You mean the giant sword?
Is the Songtao Sword worthy of comparison with it?
Zhou Shu continued to look down, and it was not until he reached the eleventh position that he saw the name of the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword.
"Song Tao Sword can rank fifth, but Qixing Longyuan ranks eleven?"
Zhou Shu muttered unhappily.
He thinks that the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword is very good, but it only ranks eleventh, so he is still a little dissatisfied.
But having said that, the Seven-Star Longyuan Sword has no record yet, so it seems to be okay if it is ranked eleventh in the Huangpin Weapon Spectrum.
"Any weapon given in the Magic Weapon Atlas ranks first, but the one I made after studying for a long time ranks eleventh. There is still a big gap."
Zhou Shu said to himself, "I'll try casting another one later. I still don't believe it. I can't make it into the top ten!"
The list is just like this, which makes people very motivated.
"I impulsively agreed to forge a sword for Yin Wuyou. What kind of sword should I forge for her?"
Zhou Shu thought about it and wanted to slap himself.
You said fine, why do you have to ask people if they want a sword?
Isn’t this a job for yourself?
Who is Yin Wuyou?
Her Royal Highness the Princess of Daxia, Chief Sikong of the Forging Department!
If she is dissatisfied with the forged high-quality weapons, wouldn’t that mean she has ruined her own brand?
I was the strongest when I was a weapon-smithing apprentice. Now that I have become a weapon-smith, I can't smash my sign. I have to be able to handle every weapon.
"First cast two eight-sided Han swords to warm up and look for inspiration."
Zhou Shu muttered.
On the divine weapon map, there are still several standard weapons that have not been filled up.
Since he forged the Daxia Dragon Bird Sword, he no longer needs to increase the number to unlock new standard weapons.
However, if you want feedback on the Divine Weapon Atlas, you still have to reach full capacity for these standard weapons.
Fortunately, for Zhou Shu, casting standard weapons is easy and effortless. As a warm-up, there is no problem.
Just when Zhou Shu had just forged an eight-sided Han sword and started to find the feeling, the housekeeper suddenly whispered outside.
"Master Marquis, the princess is here..."
Zhou Shu had to stop his movements, feeling a little stuck. He was working hard, but was interrupted. It felt like...
Zhou Shu stopped moving somewhat depressed, wiped his face, put on his coat and walked forward.
Yin Wuyou's injuries have not healed yet, and he still feels weak.
She sat on the chair and when she saw Zhou Shu coming in, her eyes formed a crescent moon.
"Da Sikong, if you don't take good care of yourself, why are you here here?"
Zhou Shu said, "You are not here to collect debts, are you? Forging high-quality weapons is not that easy. You have to be mentally prepared. Maybe it will take me a year and a half to cast it." p>
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait for you."
Yin Wuyou smiled and said, "I came here because I have something else to tell you."
"What's the matter? You haven't recovered from your injury, and you've started to deal with the official affairs of the Weaponry Company?"
Zhou Shu said, "Does the emperor have any conscience? Why is he exploiting people so much?"
"Yeah, he just has no conscience." Yin Wuyou wrinkled his nose, a hint of mischief flashed in his eyes.
"A sneeze——"
Emperor Yuan Feng sneezed in the palace. He touched his nose unhappily. It stands to reason that his body, which is at the first level of martial arts, would not be exposed to wind and cold. Why does it always feel windy recently? This is the imperial study room.
Is there air leakage?
In Youzhou Marquis, Yin Wuyou continued, "Didn't you say before that you wanted Workshop Zero to have its own name?"
"Your Majesty has agreed."
Yin Wuyou said, "You forged the Daxia Dragon Bird Sword and developed the Eight-sided Han Sword that is not weaker than the Daxia Dragon Bird Sword. Your Majesty has already agreed to give Workshop Zero its own name." "So, this is not your reward for becoming a weapon maker."
Allowing Workshop Zero to have its own name has actually been approved by the court, but Zhou Shu has not been officially notified yet.
According to Emperor Feng Yuan's idea, since Zhou Shu has been promoted to Weapon Master, this news will be announced just in time, and a lot of disputes will be reduced.
But after Yin Wuyou finds out, that won't work.
One code equals one code. Since the renaming of Workshop Zero has been approved a long time ago, it cannot be regarded as a reward for Zhou Shu's promotion.
You have to give it separately!
"According to the rules of our Weapon Forging Division, in addition to the salary, the Weapon Forging Division will receive one penny per month for refining stones——"
Yin Wuyou said.
"One penny?"
Zhou Shu couldn't help but said.
"So few?"
A penny spent on refining stone is not enough to forge a top-grade weapon!
One tael is equal to ten coins. In other words, a weapon maker has to save a year to save a day or two to refine stones?
"A lot."
Yin Wuyou explained sternly that although the price for the Heavenly Refining Stone purchased by the Forging Department would be lower than the outside price, refining the stone in one or two days would still cost several hundred taels, if not a thousand taels of gold.
A single coin of refined stone can be sold on the black market for dozens of taels of gold.
Of course, the price purchased by the Weapons Division when purchasing Heavenly Refined Stone is much lower than this.
But even so, refining a stone for a penny is still worth a lot of money.
You know, this is just an additional benefit for the Weapon Master. Their salary is also quite high.
"Okay."
Zhou Shu felt that he had been led astray by the Mi siblings.
They spend money lavishly, and they almost no longer regard money as money. Last time, they were generous and directly gave 500 taels of tea money to the Shenhua of the Shenhua Division. When they turned around, they made Zhou Shu feel very distressed.<
/p>
He is not as rich as the Mi family siblings. He still has to save his money to marry a wife.
"Da Sikong, please continue."
Zhou Shu said.
"A senior weapon maker can get three coins of heavenly refining stone every month, while a master weapon maker can get one or two coins every month."
Yin Wuyou continued, "Although you are just an ordinary weapons caster, you are not an ordinary weapon caster."
Yin Wuyou said something very convoluted. Ordinary weapon casters enjoy the treatment of seventh-level officials. If they have actual duties, it will be treated separately. Senior weapon casters enjoy the treatment of fifth-level officials, while master weapon casters enjoy the treatment of fifth-level officials.
Treatment of third-grade officials.
Where is Zhou Shu?
From the level of a weapons forger, he has only forged yellow-grade weapons and is considered an ordinary weapons-forger. In theory, he enjoys the treatment of a seventh-grade official.
But he is also the Marquis of Youzhou, and the Marquis of Youzhou is the second rank.
Even the Forge Master is only treated as a third-grade official. He is a second-grade Marquis. Can the Forge Department treat him like an ordinary Weapon Master?
"The Forging Department has never had such a precedent before, so we can't follow the precedent. I argued with His Majesty and he promised me that you can get one or two days of stone refining every month."
"I know you have been wronged, but I don't care. I will compensate you."
Yin Wuyou said softly.
Feeling wronged?
Doesn’t exist!
The Weapon Forger only earns one tael a month, so he is getting the same treatment as the Weapon Forger. What else is there to be dissatisfied about?
Zhou Shu is contented and happy.
After a day or two of refining the stone and sparing a little, you can almost forge an ordinary high-quality weapon.
Seeing that Zhou Shu was silent, Yin Wuyou thought he was unhappy. After all, he was a second-grade marquis, but now he was only given the same treatment as a third-grade weapon craftsman...
"The Heavenly Alchemy Stone is a strategic material and is strictly controlled by the imperial court. Even the Forging Division does not have many."
Yin Wuyou explained, "But Your Majesty promised me to compensate you elsewhere."
"I told you last time that our founding ancestor of Daxia was also a weapon maker."
Yin Wuyou continued, "His old man collected a lot of secret weapons-forging techniques back then and kept them in the royal library. However, the royal family no longer has weapons-forging masters. Those secret techniques should be kept hidden. Your Majesty promised me
, let you watch those secret techniques."
"Really?"
Zhou Shu's eyes lit up.
The information that Yin Wuyou brought from the Royal Library was mainly an introduction to the knowledge of weapon casting and the experience of a weapon casting master, and did not involve the specific secrets of weapon casting.
If he can learn more secret techniques of weapon casting, his weapon casting level will definitely be improved.
Zhou Shu now knows that even if he has a map of divine weapons, he still has to practice his own weapon-making skills and learn about the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought in order to make his path wider and more stable.
"Of course it's true."
Yin Wuyou said, "And——"
"What else?"
Zhou Shu was a little surprised. Is the emperor so generous?
He didn't do much, he was just promoted to the Weapon Master, and the seven-star Longyuan Sword he forged was half a block away. Why was he given such a generous reward?
When other weapon masters were promoted, I never heard that they had so many rewards.
Is it because I am a genius?
"Well," Yin Wuyou nodded heavily and said, "Since Workshop Zero already has its own name, it would be inappropriate for it to be crowded together with other workshops."
Although Workshop No. 36 in front of the Forging Department is also called that, in fact, they can no longer be regarded as workshops.
In fact, the first thirty-six workshops are somewhat similar to the scientific research institutes in previous lives. They are not all located in the capital, but are distributed throughout Daxia.
What they do is all high-end work, such as rough work like casting standard weapons. Although they also undertake it, it is only for their internal apprentices to practice.
Workshop Zero is now qualified to have its own name, so it is obviously inappropriate to mix it with ordinary workshops.
You know, other workshops with names are all built in places with beautiful mountains and rivers and beautiful scenery.
"I want a piece of land from Your Majesty for Workshop Zero. By the way, you said last time, what name are you going to give it?"
Yin Wuyou said.
"Huaxia Pavilion——"
Zhou Shu was a little confused and asked for a piece of land?
I just own half of the street, do I need another piece of land?
"Yes, it's Huaxia Pavilion! I asked Your Majesty for a piece of land for Huaxia Pavilion. Don't worry, all the construction costs this time will be borne by the court. You just have to build it according to your own wishes."
"Da Sikong, can I ask, is that piece of land larger than the current Workshop Zero? If it is about the same size as Workshop Zero, then there is no need to bother. Workshop Zero is also quite good now.
”
Zhou Shu asked.
He spent a lot of effort building the No. 0 workshop, but he didn't expect that it would have to be moved in less than a year.
According to my original design, the construction of the No. 0 Workshop land has not yet been completed.
"Is it big?"
Yin Wuyou stared at his big beautiful eyes, "It's incomparable."
She waved her hand, and Haitang, who came with her, already understood, took out a map, and spread it out on the table.
"I brought the map. You have to understand the terrain before you can decide how to build Huaxia Pavilion. Someone from the Ministry of Industry will come over to help you draw the construction drawings. In short, you can build it however you want. Don't worry about how much it will cost.
The money is all covered by the imperial court."
Yin Wuyou waved his hand, and his delicate jade fingers landed on a location on the map.
"This place is a little far from the capital, thirty miles, but it's relatively clean. There's a military camp of the National Guard not far away, so there's no problem with safety."
Yin Wuyou circled the map with his finger and said.
"Is this all Huaxia Pavilion's territory?"
Zhou Shu breathed a little quickly and asked.
"Yes, if you feel that there is not enough space, you can also use it here. That is my place."
Yin Wuyou said, and she drew another circle, which was bigger than the previous one.
Zhou Shu didn't hear what she said at all. Why was there her place next to Huaxia Pavilion? Zhou Shu didn't care at all. Now, he only saw the place belonging to Huaxia Pavilion.
Indeed, the current Workshop Zero is incomparable and incomparable.
