"Father, I have tried it. This hundred-refined ring-shou sword can easily break through the third level of armor. It is not as sharp as the Tiger Ben sword. The most important thing is that after it is chopped, it is not as easy to break as the Tiger sword."<
/p>
"If you want to use the Tiger Ben knife well, you need to have certain skills, otherwise it will be easy to break. However, with the Hundred Refining Ring Sword, you don't need it at all. You just need to cut it."
"I can guarantee that after our cavalry in Great Xia is equipped with the Bailian Huanshou Sword, their combat power will be increased by at least 10%!"
Yin Wuyou's face was full of excitement, completely losing her dignity in front of others. She raised the Bailian Huanshou Sword in front of the Emperor of Daxia.
In the year before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the current generation of Emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty were already over sixty years old, but they did not appear to be in their forties.
Once the Emperor of Daxia ascends the throne, he will use secret methods to upgrade his martial arts to the first-level holy realm.
Although this kind of holy realm is just a paper tiger compared to the kind you can cultivate yourself, if you really fight, you may not even be able to defeat the second or third level.
But the first grade is the first grade after all, which allowed the emperors of Daxia to have a good enough body, at least until they died, their bodies could be maintained in a good condition.
And the biggest gap between them and those genuine first-grade ones is still more than longevity.
A true first-class person can live for hundreds of years, but the Emperor of Daxia only lived for a hundred years. This can be regarded as a loss and a gain.
This generation of Daxia Emperor was named Yuan Feng, and he had been on the throne for more than thirty years. After he ascended the throne, although he had no great achievements, he also made no major mistakes.
He can be considered an ordinary emperor.
Emperor Feng of the Yuan Dynasty raised his Hundred Refined Ring Sword horizontally and stroked his fingers on the blade.
When he was young, he also worked hard in martial arts, and as the lord of Daxia, he naturally has a lot of vision.
"It is indeed a superior standard weapon."
Emperor Yuan Feng nodded, with a smile on his face, "My son has just accepted the Weapon Casting Division and has achieved such great results. Tell me, how do you want your father to reward you?"
Emperor Yuan Feng looked at Yin Wuyou with a look full of endearment, without the majesty of an emperor at all, just like an ordinary father.
"It is Wuyou's duty to share his father's worries."
Yin Wuyou smiled sweetly, changed his style, and said, "But there is one thing that my daughter really wants to ask of her father."
"Tell me and listen."
Emperor Yuan Feng narrowed his eyes and said.
"It's like this. Didn't the father leave the Weaponry Division to his daughter? My daughter plans to open a new workshop in the Weaponry Division——"
"Aren't one hundred and eight workshops enough for you now?"
Yuan Feng Di Dao.
"No, the current 108 workshops in the Weaponry Division have been in existence for so many years. The manpower and rules have been finalized. It is too difficult to change."
"Then we won't change it." Emperor Yuan Feng said with a smile, "The Forging Department has always been running well. I asked you to be the chief minister because I was afraid that you would be too bored. I didn't want you to bother yourself.
”
"No, Father, although our Daxia is strong, but in recent years, the Weaponry Department has been stuck in its ways, and the weapons of other countries have caught up. If we don't make changes, the advantages of our Daxia's weapons will be completely lost.
."
Yin Wuyou said anxiously.
"Okay."
Emperor Feng of the Yuan Dynasty said noncommittally, "You can open it if you want. You can just go and communicate with the Ministry of Industry if you need the money."
"When a new workshop is opened, there must be a new director, and the director of the workshop must be officially appointed by the court."
Yin Wuyou said.
"The boss of the workshop is a ninth-grade man, right? For such a small matter, you can go directly to the official department."
Emperor Yuan Feng said helplessly.
"Compared to this, I would like to ask you, how many of these hundred-refined ring-shou swords can the Forging Department cast in a year? How much does it cost?"
"The Bailianhuan Shoudao has just been developed, and mass production may still take a few months. As for the cost, it is about the same as the Tiger Ben knife."
Yin Wuyou thought for a moment and then said.
"So——"
Emperor Feng of the Yuan Dynasty pondered deeply, "I understand, you go and play, I still have some things to deal with."
"I'm not playing!"
Yin Wuyou let out a coquettish voice, bowed and left.
Emperor Yuan Feng pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "The Tiger Ben Sword, the Hundred Refined Ring Sword, and a mysterious master has left behind a practical sword intention. Could it be that our Daxia is really on the verge of a renaissance? Come and go,
Call Meng Bai."
……
Zhou Shu naturally had no way of knowing what happened in the palace.
Just when Emperor Feng of the Yuan Dynasty summoned General Meng Bai of the National Defense Army, Zhou Shu had already received a formal appointment certificate from the Ministry of Personnel.
He was just sighing at Yin Wuyou's efficiency in doing things. In just one day, the appointment certificate of the head of the workshop was issued. He is truly worthy of being the Chief Sikong of the Forging Department and the princess of the dynasty!
With this golden thigh here, I should be as stable as a rock in the Forging Department, right?
"There is a 30-acre open space in the northeast corner of the Forging Department, which has been designated for the use of Workshop No. 0. In addition, a construction fee of one thousand taels has been allocated. When Director Zhou is free, he can come to the department to withdraw it.
”
The clerk from the Casting Department who came to deliver his appointment certificate said politely.
The head of the workshop is already an official, and a ninth-grade official is also an official. Don’t use bean bags as dry food!
For this little official, Zhou Shu had reached the sky in one step, and he was extremely envious.
"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
The clerk said hello to Zhou Shu, then stood up and left.
After sending the clerk outside, Zhou Shu returned to his work shed and looked at the appointment certificate stamped with the official seal, feeling slightly excited.
Now you become an official?
I was not even a civil servant in my previous life, but in this life I am finally an official.
Ninth rank, how big an official would it be in the previous life? Township mayor? Town mayor?
It seems that the county magistrate is only in the seventh rank. The ninth rank is really not that big.
Zhou Shu curled his lips. It doesn't matter whether he is a high official or a small official. Anyway, his right path is not to be an official. His right path is to be a craftsman. One day, when he becomes a great craftsman, he will be an academician of the two academies.
It’s no worse than being an official.
If I become a master craftsman, even the emperor and I will respect me!
As the chief, the official position is secondary, but the most important thing is that I finally have my own territory!
30 acres of land is indeed a bit small. Other workshops, even those at the bottom like Workshop No. 97, have hundreds of acres of land.
In comparison, the site of Workshop Zero is simply not worth mentioning.
But having said that, Workshop Zero now only has Zhou Shu as its commander, and 30 acres of land is enough.
Moreover, Yin Wuyou promised him that it was entirely up to him how to build the No. 0 workshop and what it would look like.
It has been several months since he came to Daxia, and he finally no longer has to sleep in this slum-like work shed. He must build himself a luxurious dormitory with a private bathroom!
"I wonder if the one thousand taels of silver is enough for everything."
Zhou Shu had been thinking about what Workshop Zero should look like last night, and he had already constructed a blueprint in his heart.
One thousand taels of silver is probably equivalent to two million in the previous life. It is not a small amount. It should be more than enough to build a factory.
"You have to draw the drawings first, and then go find out where to find the construction team."
Zhou Shu said secretly in his heart.
Now that he is the head of Workshop Zero, the casting task of Workshop No. 97 is naturally gone. Now he has a lot of time to build his own Workshop Zero.
It's a pity that he has no one under him, so he has to do everything by himself.
However, Zhou Shu was not worried at all. He regarded Workshop Zero as his first home after coming to Daxia, designing it with his own hands, and then turning it into reality with his own hands. This in itself is a very happy thing.<
/p>
Just as Zhou Shu was immersed in planning the drawings, there was a knock on the door.
"Cheng Yong, the fierce and fierce army, pays homage to Chief Zhou."
"Really here?"
Zhou Shu was stunned. When Sun Pingping left yesterday, he said that Colonel Cheng would definitely come to apologize to him, but he didn't expect that he actually came.
Yesterday, Zhou Shu was kidnapped by Qishan. Cheng Yong took out the sword regardless of his life or death. If Zhou Shu was just a small apprentice of forging weapons, his death would be in vain. Cheng Yong would not even feel any guilt.
But things are different now. Zhou Shu is already the head of the Forging Division's workshop, and holds the secret recipe for the Forging of the Hundred Refined Ring First Sword.
Although the Huben Army cannot beg Zhou Shu for the time being, they are soldiers and will inevitably have to deal with the Casting Division in the future.
If you really offend the Weapons Division, if there is any problem with their weapons in the future, it will be a fatal matter.
After Cheng Yong went back to report to Cheng Wanli, he prepared a generous gift overnight and sent it over.
"You're welcome, Lieutenant Cheng, please go slowly."
Don’t reach out and hit the smiling person. In the situation like yesterday, we really shouldn’t ask too much from the tiger and the benign army.
Zhou Shu pretended to decline and accepted Cheng Xiaowei's generous gift.
"Hu Benjun is really rich."
Zhou Shu received the five hundred taels of silver notes together with his previous property, and felt a little sigh in his heart.
If Cheng Yong came up with these five hundred taels himself, Zhou Shu wouldn't believe it. Although Cheng Yong was a school captain, his annual salary might not be that much.
This money must have come from the Huben Army.
Considering that the Huben Army is the imperial guard and the emperor's bodyguard, the funds must be very sufficient.
When they first purchased the Huben knife from Xiao Zongshui, they were very wealthy. A mere five hundred taels was just a drop in the bucket.
As soon as Cheng Yong was sent away, several generals whom he had never seen before came to his door.
It wasn't that they had anything to do, they just wanted to congratulate Zhou Shu on his promotion, and each of them also gave a generous gift.
Zhou Shu wanted to refuse these, but those people didn't give him a chance to refuse. They put down their things and turned around and left.
Throughout the day, Zhou Shu met countless people and received gifts that filled the small work shed with banknotes. Zhou Shu himself lost count of how many there were.
Altogether, there are at least a thousand taels.
No wonder everyone likes to be an official. Zhou Shu has just become the chief and has not done anything. What he has received is enough for an ordinary soldier-forging apprentice to work hard for decades.
Although he knew that these gifts were not free, they still did not hinder Zhou Shu's good mood.
Of course it is a good thing to have money. With money, he can build Workshop Zero even better!
"Brother Zhou, I came to see you. What do you think I brought you?"
Zhou Shu was counting the gifts when suddenly a voice sounded outside the door. Listening to the voice, it was Sun Pingping!
