Chapter 240: Weapon Transformation (6)
Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular. Li Chengqian, who left the imperial city and was about to go to the general supervision workshop, was with Wang Chenghu at this time, staring blankly at a bright long sword.
The long sword that broke through the air inexplicably almost pierced Wang Chenghu, if it weren't for Cheng Hua'an shouting "Be careful", the 'bald king' would probably have gone to Cui Juan to report at this time.
After a while, Li Chengqian swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and asked Cheng Huaan, who was riding on a horse outside the carriage, "Master, why don't you stop it?" β
"It's not for us, it's for him." Cheng Hua'an, who could beat Wu Chen's eight, looked proud, and pointed at Wu Chen from afar.
Wu Chen? Li Chengqian was puzzled in his heart, and set his eyes in the direction where the long sword was flying.
Then, a heroic young woman in a light pink dress and an empty scabbard in her hand met Li Chengqian's eyes.
Before Li Chengqian could see the woman's appearance clearly, a clear voice spit out from her mouth: "Wu Chen, if you dare to run again, the old lady will wipe her neck directly." β
Damn, there's a story here! The fire of gossip in Li Chengqian's heart burned in an instant.
glanced at Wang Chenghu, and then Li Chengqian jumped down from the carriage, accompanied by a group of guards who came up, and withdrew from a distance of about 20 steps, and confidently acted as a melon-eating crowd.
This is so interesting, watching Wu Chen sit on horseback in a strange posture, Li Chengqian maliciously guessed how Wu Chen gave up in a mess, and at the same time wanted to find some melon seeds and tea or something.
"Senior sister, you, why are you here?" For a long time, Wu Chen's rather embarrassed voice was squeezed out of his throat with difficulty.
"You don't remember what you promised me?" The woman clenched her silver teeth, and her voice seemed to be squeezed out of between her teeth.
"Senior sister, you come down first, let's find a secluded place and talk about it." Wu Chen swept his eyes to Li Chengqian and others who were about to watch the play with a playful face, and his face turned red.
"Why do you want to find a secluded place, just say it here, do you remember what you said in the first place?" The woman stood on the roof ridge very stubbornly, also glanced at Li Chengqian and the others, turned her head nonchalantly, and continued to ask.
"Senior sister, you come down, let's come down and say okay, it's not safe up there." I don't know what Wu Chen promised the woman at the beginning, no matter how the woman forced her, she just refused to say it.
"This girl, you come down first, I promise he won't be able to run." Li Chengqian saw that such a stalemate was not a solution, and couldn't help shouting at the woman on the roof.
"How can you guarantee that you're all in this together." The woman on the roof said disdainfully.
"Wu Chen, can you do it, hurry up and get this woman done, we still have something to do." Li Chengqian found that he couldn't stop the woman, so he turned to Wu Chen.
"I ......" Wu Chen frowned, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"What's the matter, why don't you stay first, and come after us in a while." Although Li Chengqian wanted to know what had happened between Wu Chen and the woman, he also knew in his heart that he and the others were going to pretend to be forced to the end.
Wang Chenghu, who watched with relish, Li Chengqian got into the carriage and set off again, until he was far away, and then said with some schadenfreude: "It seems that Lao Wu is also a person with a story." β
"Well, it's a pity I didn't see the results." Wang Chenghu echoed.
"Put that sword away, your highness will look worried." Li Chengqian pointed to the long sword poked at the wheel, and a wicked smile appeared on his face: "If Wu Chen doesn't invite guests to dinner, he won't return this piece." β
"Whoa!" Wang Chenghu agreed, pulled out the sword, and found a place in the car to collect it.
The next road seemed much lonely, Wang Chenghu was naΓ―ve, and he was not a good object to discuss things.
Cheng Huaan is the same, although he is not simple, he doesn't like to talk.
So the three of them hurried almost all the way without saying a word, and in a short time, they had already arrived at the workshop where they would be overseers.
"Chen Liumin, I have seen His Highness." Entering the workshop, a middle-aged man in his forties looked at Wang Chenghu's token, came over to greet Li Chengqian, and said.
"Excuse me, this palace is here on the orders of my father, there is something that needs to be done, I hope you will cooperate well." Li Chengqian waved his hand generously, signaling that Liu Min, the head of the craftsman, did not need to be polite.
"Your Highness can only tell what he needs, and the ministers will do their best." Liu Min replied respectfully.
"How much steel can be produced each year?" Li Chengqian did not explain his intentions, and when he did not understand the actual situation, everything he said was in vain.
"Back to Your Highness, about 100,000 catties." Liu Min roughly estimated and replied briefly.
"100,000 catties? So little! Li Chengqian smacked his lips, the million-ton and ten-million-ton steel mills in later generations had heard too much, and now hearing Liu Min say 100,000 catties made him feel a little incredible.
"Your Highness, there are quite a few." Liu Min frowned, feeling that even Comrade Lao Li didn't say that the annual output of 100,000 catties was small, so what qualifications did Li Chengqian have to criticize this number.
"With an annual output of 100,000 catties of steel, how much does it seem to you?" Li Chengqian asked with some displeasure.
He doesn't mind these craftsmen looking down on him, there is no way, the craftsmen are arrogant, and only admire those who are more skilled than himself.
But it's clear that your level is not very good, and you still look down on people, then it's fucked up.
"Your Highness, this is the result of a year of sleepless work by the craftsmen." Liu Min is also a strong turtle species, and she recognized that Li Chengqian didn't understand anything, and this time she came to make trouble.
"What method does the workshop use to make steel now?" Taking a deep breath, Li Chengqian asked patiently.
"Back to Your Highness, fry the steel method." Liu Min's answer was very simple, in his opinion, Li Chengqian was a teenage doll, but he was afraid that he might not even know the difference between steel and iron, and it would be vain to say too much.
"Such a stupid method is still in use? Enough is true that you will be a prisoner. Li Chengqian snorted and said.
Originally, Li Chengqian just planned to go to Jiangzuojian to see if he could find some inspiration and use the injection mold method to realize the production of three-edged arrowheads. But now the situation has become a 'routine stepping on people', which is really boring.
"Is there a better way for Your Highness? The minister is lonely and unheard, and please inform His Highness. Liu Min stiffened his neck, looking like he was planning to fight Li Chengqian.
"Whose doorman are you?" Li Chengqian asked suddenly.
"A certain craftsman in Liu, who has been striking iron for a living for generations, is valued by the Emperor Taishang, and is added as a master craftsman, and has nothing to do with the family." Liu Min's face was full of pride, and his words were full of disdain for the family.
Old Li? Generations of iron for a living? Emotional Liu Min is a stubborn donkey at all, and the argument with himself is completely a dispute of righteousness.
And in the current situation, if you don't convince this old guy and want them to cooperate with him, it will be impossible to complete the weapon transformation plan.
