After arranging everything, Lin Ze became more and more at ease. Han Xin and others were heroes for a while, and they handled the affairs very smoothly, but when support was needed, Lin Ze also left it to Chen Ping.
After all, the person who will be the prime minister in the future should take charge of the overall affairs of a province first and accumulate experience, so that he can better rule an empire.
Chen Ping enjoyed it very much. When he learned that Lin Ze was training him, he was deeply moved. Except for being a little lazy, this uncle was still very good.
Lin Ze also slowly made some progress in searching for the materials on the prescription.
Among them, the thirty-three kinds of natural materials needed as the main medicine were provided by the Wang family in exchange for Lin Ze's promise. Among the twenty plants given by Dao Palace, eight of them can be used, plus the ones given by Meng Tian before.
Unknowingly, Lin Ze had gathered a third of the Kong Ming Grass.
Of the remaining ones, there are three that Lu Pheasant is sure to get at a high price, and there is also one from the Wei family's treasury. As a result, there are only seventeen types left.
Hu Hai arranged for people to collect hundreds of kinds of treasures, and it is said that one-third of them were collected. Lin Ze had to sigh, why did he bother to work hard, and even take great risks, to stay in Daqin and assist Hu Hai?
Isn’t this the purpose of being in a high position?
Otherwise, Lin Ze felt that he might not be able to collect even the resources needed to advance to the fifth level of martial arts, let alone finding so many natural and earthly treasures.
Lin Ze took advantage of this free time to practice martial arts crazily. After all, this is a world where "martial arts is the most important" is the mainstream. No matter what, it is safer to advance to the sixth level.
…
In the Governor's Mansion, Lin Ze ate a large pot of medium-grade monster meat stewed with earth treasures, digested it into absorbable vitality, and then converted it into true energy through the God of War Illustration and incorporated it into his Dantian.
Since the eight main meridians were connected, no matter how much true energy Lin Ze condensed, as long as one of the eight main meridians circulated down and fell into the dantian, only a trace would be left.
And Lin Ze's Dantian is really like the ocean. No matter how much condensed Qi goes in, it won't rise.
If Lin Ze hadn't been able to feel that he was getting stronger, he would have thought that someone had stolen his true energy.
After practicing the technique, Lin Ze took out his long sword and was about to practice the sword technique.
At this time, Wu Fan came to Lin Ze's door and said softly: "Your Majesty, the master of Qi Sect and two elders have come as promised and are waiting in the living room. May I ask if you have time to meet them?"
Hearing this, Lin Ze put the long sword back into the scabbard, threw it aside, opened the door and said, "Since they have come from afar, we cannot neglect them. Let's go, you come with me to meet them."
Wu Fan bowed and said: "Your Excellency, please."
Lin Ze came to the living room. There were three people sitting in the hall, two old men with white hair, and a middle-aged man with little hair.
As soon as Lin Ze saw where the three of them were sitting, he knew that the middle-aged man sitting in the front must be the current head of the Qi Sect. Lin Ze, who was walking towards him, said with a smile on his face: "I am the right admiral of Shu, Lin Ze.
, I have met the three masters of the Qi Sect. The three masters have come from afar, and I cannot welcome them from afar. It is really disrespectful and disrespectful."
Although the three people from Qi Zong were confused as to why the admiral of Shu was so young, they still returned the greeting and said, "The common people pay their respects to the admiral."
The middle-aged man even took the initiative to introduce: "Master Lin, I am in Gaohe, and Tian is the master of the Qi Sect. These two are the elders of my Qi Sect, Long Yu and Yao Sheng. I don't know why you summoned us here."
Lin Ze sat down on the main seat and motioned for Gao He and others to sit down together. He did not answer directly, but asked: "I heard that Qi Zong has a close relationship with many Mohist masters who serve in the Shaofu. I wonder if this is true.
?”
Gao He, the head of the Qi Sect, replied: "What you have heard is indeed true. The Qi Sect is originally a branch of the Mohist family, and all the generals in the Shaofu can be counted as my fellow disciples."
Lin Ze praised calmly: "No wonder the weapons forged by Qi Zong are famous in Shu. It turns out they are really made by famous masters."
Gao He smiled reservedly and said, "Thank you, sir."
Lin Ze smiled, then changed his tone and said: "The Governor-General has valued me and recommended me to be the Right Admiral of the Shu Territory, and to also lead the military. In addition, the barbarians in the Shu Territory have frequently caused rebellions, and the army has a serious shortage of equipment and weapons. The suppression of the rebellion has been very ineffective."
I'm weak, so I ask Qi Zong to help me."
After hearing this, Gao He looked back at the two elders of his family, with a look of embarrassment on his face and said: "Please forgive me, sir, because Qi Zong is a branch of the Mohist family and is independent. In order to avoid disaster, Qi Zong's ancestral teachings are not to build weapons in large quantities.
instrument.
The Mohist disciples who serve in the Shaofu are also responsible for monitoring other Mohist disciples in the world. Disciples who are not serving in the government are not allowed to build large-scale equipment at will, otherwise they will be attacked. Therefore, I am afraid that I cannot agree to your request."
Lin Ze said without changing his expression: "This matter can be easily solved. First, the current governor of Shu is your Majesty's youngest son, Young Master Hu Hai. With him here, the young man in charge will not dare to mess around."
"Second, the Governor's Office of Shu can give the Qi Sect disciples a title to prove that you are working for the government. In this way, there will be no other problems."
Gao He had a bitter look on his face, but he didn't know how to answer Lin Ze.
Long Yu, the elder of the Qi Sect next to him, quickly helped: "But the ancestral teachings of the Qi Sect are there. My sect leader really dare not bully the master and destroy the ancestors. Please forgive me. Besides, Mr. Hu Hai is here, why don't you let him transfer people directly from the Shaofu?"
Woolen cloth?"
Lin Ze sneered, Hu Hai couldn't control how many generals Emperor Qin wanted from the young manor, but he could only ask for a few, and it was impossible for him to vacate the young manor.
Besides, what's the use of people coming here? There's not even a forging shop, so how can we make equipment?
Lin Ze said with a smile on his face: "Sect master, don't be too busy to refuse. How about taking a look at a few things first and then making a decision? Someone, bring the things up."
Three waiters, who had been waiting outside for a long time, came in carrying a plate covered with cloth.
Lin Ze stood up, lifted up the cloth on the first plate, and saw a dagger lying on the plate.
Lin Ze signaled the waiter to bring the dagger to Gao He, and said with a smile: "Sect Master, see what's different about this dagger?"
Gao He reached out and picked up the dagger, and saw the clues at a glance, and replied: "The hundred-forged stainless steel sword is the handiwork of I don't know which master, but the post-processing seems to be done by an apprentice, which is a waste of materials.
I wonder what the purpose of letting me see this is?"
The smile on Lin Ze's face remained unchanged and he said: "If I say that I made this sword from the beginning to the end, and I have never learned the art of forging, how would the sect master feel?"
Gao He concluded: "This is impossible. If you say that it was handled by you later, which resulted in the rough appearance of this sword and even some cracks, I will believe it."
"As for refining hundred-forged steel, it is only possible with the guidance of a famous master and ten years of hard work. It's not that I look down on you, but it's because you have obviously never learned the art of blacksmithing, and you can't forge hundred-forged steel no matter what.
"
Lin Ze showed a calm smile on his face and said: "If I have the technology that even ordinary people can refine hundreds of forged steel, and use it in exchange for the Qi Zong's full efforts to build equipment for me, what does the Zong think?"
Gao He shook his head like a rattle, with a look of disbelief on his face: "This is impossible, how can there be such magic in the world?"
Lin Ze said unequivocally: "Sect Master, don't worry about whether this is a possibility for now, just say if it is really possible, whether you are willing to change it. As for whether it is possible, after I tell the Sect Master about the technology, the Sect Master will know after he tries it.
."
Seeing Lin Ze's confident look, Gao He suddenly began to doubt whether there really was such a magical skill. Then he shook his head and thought: It's impossible. The founder Mozi never created anything that could allow ordinary people to refine hundreds of magic skills during his lifetime.
The magic of forging steel is even more impossible for the little adult in front of me.
But if he doesn't agree, I'm afraid the admiral won't give up. It's better to agree. When he can't use the magic, he will naturally have no shame in bringing up the Qi Sect to work for him.
Then he said decisively: "I am willing to make a bet with you. If you really have such magic, our Qi Sect will be willing to work for you in exchange for the magic. If you don't have it, let's not mention this matter again. What do you think?
