Ten refining Mo knives

Li Pojun thought in his heart that this ordnance supervisor was responsible for building weapons, and the Tang Dynasty had been fighting for many years, and this weapon was very useful, after all, an ordinary spear and horizontal knife could not be used for a lifetime. That's why I asked.

And Sun Ji heard Li Pojun ask like this, and he was also full of wry smiles, like a nephew of his Sun family also thought like this, thinking that he was in charge of the weapons and equipment of the entire Tang Dynasty, and he had a big palm, in fact, how did they outsiders know that this weapons prison has been abolished repeatedly, and it will be set up when it is used.

Immediately, he also said with a wry smile: "Your Highness doesn't know, although this ordnance supervisor is responsible for forging armaments, but I Datang pacified the world and subdued the Quartet, and the military equipment was not captured just by knowing how many mortals, and it was inexhaustible, and the normal service life of an ordinary horizontal knife was at least three years, so this ordnance supervisor was fine for a long time.

Shrimp? There is such a thing, Li Pojun can be regarded as having seen it today, and at this time, Sun Ji also dared to ask: "I don't know what His Highness commands?" But to forge armaments? ”

Li Pojun came back to his senses after hearing this, and said directly: "What Young Eunuch Sun said is good, I don't know if Young Eunuch Sun knows Mo Dao?"

Sun Ji was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "The lower official is in charge of the military weapons supervisor, and he knows that the Mo knife is one of the four types of knives, and the Mo knife is a long knife, which is held by the infantry, and the sword of Gai Gu is upgraded, and the knife weighs fifteen pounds, also known as the machete, seven feet long, three feet long blade, four feet long handle, and an iron drill is used.

It's just that the forging skills of this Mo knife are complicated, it consumes iron, the cost is expensive, and the requirements for the soldiers used are very high. Belch...... What does His Highness mean by asking? ”。

said that he smiled, he was talking endlessly, and he was quite embarrassed to spit on the stars.

Li Pojun looked at this young superintendent of the ordnance supervisor and talked about this business, and he also secretly praised it, this person is not bad, at least he is familiar with this work.

Li Pojun smiled and said, "Yes, I want to build three thousand...... No, three thousand five hundred Mo knives."

Sun Ji was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly persuaded and said: "Your Highness, this Mo knife has been abandoned by the army and has never been used, but I don't know what Your Highness wants to use?"

Li Pojun was also relieved to hear this, this Sun Ji is a warm-hearted person, but he is a little verbose.

Immediately, he also said unceremoniously: "I have my own usefulness, military affairs, don't ask more, I only ask you how long it will take to build 3,500 Mo knives?"

When Sun Ji heard this, he bowed down in panic and said: "Your Highness Meng Lang, Your Highness forgives your sins." He is just an idle official from the fourth grade, where can he dare to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about military affairs.

He frowned again and asked: "Mo knife forging is not easy, the skills are complicated, three thousand five hundred is really a lot, and I don't know what the quality of the Mo knife is that His Highness wants?"

Li Pojun didn't know that there was a difference in quality, so he asked, "What quality?"

Sun Ji was stunned for a moment, and then said bluntly: "This Mo knife has five refining, ten refining, and even one hundred refining, the more refining the number, it will take a long time and the cost is high."

Li Pojun frowned, he didn't expect that there was still a choice.

If you don't understand, you have to ask, and ask directly: "What is the cost of each of them?"

Sun Ji said straightforwardly: "The ten refining Mo knives cost about three or five times, but the hundred refining knives are about ten times at the lowest, of course, the material consumption is unpredictable."

Li Pojun was surprised when he heard this, my obedient man, ten refining knives is a three-five cross, wouldn't the three thousand five hundred be the lowest to more than ten thousand, uh...... Originally, 3,000 people wanted 3,500 handfuls, after all, these were more generous, but it turned out that it was all money. Well, or 1,300? It's okay, it should be enough to leave a loss reserve of 300 handfuls.

It's just that Li Pojun didn't know the quality of the ten refining swords, so he immediately asked, "What is the quality of the ten refining swords?" Can this ordnance supervisor have a finished product? ”

Sun Ji was quite embarrassed when he heard this, and said, "Your Highness, this ...... There is no finished product in Yazhong, but the forging skills are all there, as long as the material and money are sufficient, it can be forged. This Ten Refining Knife is a very good knife, it is difficult for the general captain to use it, and the service life of a Ten Refining Knife is at least about ten years, and the hundred refining knives are ...... Uh, Your Highness. Today, there are very few masters who can do a hundred refinements, and only one or two people in the yazhong can do it, and all the hundred refining knives can be used as heirloom knives."

Li Pojun understood when he heard this, thought for a moment, and said straightly: "Then as long as there are 1,300 Ten Refining Mo Swords, how long will it take to complete the forging when the materials are sufficient?"

Sun Ji lowered his head and thought for a while after hearing this, and said directly: "If His Royal Highness guarantees that the materials are sufficient, the lower official guarantees that it can be completed in half a month."

When Li Pojun heard this, he frowned, half a month? Fifteen days? It's too long.

"Possible to shorten the time". Li Pojun frowned and asked.

Sun Ji listened with a bitter face, and said as if begging for mercy: "Your Highness, this is ...... I really can't afford this time, because the ordnance superintendent doesn't have enough manpower."

Li Pojun waved his hand when he heard this: "If there are not enough people, I will give you people, men in the army, how many people do you want?" Although".

Sun Ji's face turned bitter, "Your Highness." This method of forging is not something that anyone can help, and it is okay for men in the army to fight, but this way of forging is not good."

Li Pojun frowned deeply when he heard this, but at this time, Sun Ji said again: "If His Royal Highness can allow it, you can recruit blacksmith helpers from the people, so that the time can be shortened."

When Li Pojun heard it, huh? That's fine, and asked, "How many people do you need?"

Sun Ji estimated and said: "If it is a skilled blacksmith, one or twenty people are enough."

"How much can the forging period be shortened?"

Sun Ji estimated and said: "If there are twenty blacksmiths to help, combined with the full strength of the ordnance superintendent, three thousand three hundred ten refining Mo knives can be completed in ten days."

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, blacksmith, you can recruit yourself, including three thousand three hundred Ten Refining Mo Swords, and you can go to the military department to ask for it as soon as you apply it."

Sun Jizhi agreed, but Li Pojun said again: "Another 3,300 pairs of armor and armor will be built, well, let's ask for Shanwen armor."

Sun Ji was both surprised and delighted when he heard it, three thousand three hundred Mo knives, and three thousand three hundred full sets of mountain armor. This is a big list, and there are not tens of thousands of dollars that can't be placed.
