Chapter 10 Shangluo asks for officials
"Danshengyan's people, this hundred iron slashing committee is really good, it's just that you just said that in addition to the sword, there seems to be a pair of swords, right?" Kuroda said with some excitement after seeing the power of the Hundred Slashing Iron Sword. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hey! My lord, this is the pair. Dansheng Iwa Seizō pointed to the side without any paint or decoration, and said with a gray face.
"Hmmm! Then here you go! Kuroda said.
"It's better for the retainers to come!" Kuroda Vocational High School rushed to say at this time.
It's not that Kuroda Vocational High School has any ideas, he thinks very simply, this hundred pieces of iron are sufficient, and they must be very strong. Judging by the performance of the individual swords, there is no doubt about this. But this Mibu Kyojiro is a rare and powerful swordsman in the Japanese country. In case he doesn't master the strength of this sword (Kuroda thinks too much), it will be useless if he opens a big mouth. It's better to come on your own, at least not to hurt the armor.
So Kuroda took an ordinary katana from the attendant and slashed it with enough force (who knows how much force it used, embarrassment). At the moment when the katana and Gu ** converged, Kuroda Vocational High clearly felt that in addition to the tough force generated when they collided, there was also an almost imperceptible rebound force on the body. He didn't know if it was his own delusion, after years of continuous swordsmanship practice, his feelings, especially when holding the sword, must have improved, but he didn't know it. Either way, the end result was that there was no damage, just a white mark.
"Well, that's a good iron! Lord Danshengyan, if you can produce such a sharp weapon this time, Lord Danshengyan has made a great contribution, and my family will definitely be greatly rewarded. Kuroda said with a smile.
"Your Excellency, slow down." Dansheng Yan Jingzang said immediately at this time.
"Oh! Is there anything going on with Dansheng-sama? Kuroda said suspiciously.
"My lord, it's not just my credit to cut iron, for example, the most basic method of breaking iron is taught by Master Li Sanbao. And the method of heating the stove was taught by a master of the Ming Kingdom. "Dansheng Rock Essence Treasure does not have one person to receive the credit.
"Well, yes, Danshengyan-sama, what you said is very good, then how about a reward for all participants?" Kuroda said.
"Thank you, Lord Lord, for your grace." Dansheng Rock Seizō kowtowed to Kuroda Jobaka.
Kuroda Vocational High looked at Dansheng Rock Jingzang and nodded unconsciously. This is a blacksmith with a very craftsman spirit, serious when doing things, full of specialized spirit, and willing to ask questions and learn from others, and is very passionate about the industry he is engaged in, which is indeed very rare.
"By the way, Lord Danshengyan, now in the workshop area, how about the output of such a hundred cut iron? How many such swords and sufficiencies can be produced in a year. Kuroda asked.
"If you go back to the lord, this hundred iron is not easy to come by, because it requires a long time of repeated beating, and the steps are complicated, it is easy to smelt and waste, so the yield is very low. At present, only Lord Li and Zai will refine the hundred slashing iron, and if the iron is handed over to other colleagues to make weapons and armor, such a sword and equipment can be produced in two months. Dansheng Yan Jingzang said truthfully.
"One set for two months! It seems that only a few high-ranking samurai can be satisfied first. Kuroda said.
"Father, and Danshengyan, if such a sword is made into a spear tip, how much can it produce?" Kuroda Vocational High School suddenly asked at this time.
"I guess about twenty!" Dansheng Iwa Seizo replied.
"In other words, twenty good spears can be produced from a hundred pieces of iron used to make a sword, and other materials can be used to make a barrel?" Kuroda said in surprise.
"Hey!"
"Then the armor will continue to be made, the sword will stop, and the spear head will be produced first, and there are many samurai who use the gun at home, and then slowly cultivate clever apprentices, and then make the sword when the output comes up!" Kuroda said.
"The Lord's Wisdom"
Kuroda Vocational High School spent nearly half a month with his wife and children in Kuroda Castle.
After that, Kuroda Vocational High School took his mother Takatomo, Hattori Masanari, Enryakuji Zenmune, Yamamoto Takaquan, Sasaki Nagahide, and the two brothers Mibu Kyojiro, who were more familiar with Yamashiro, and more than 30 guards, to Kyoto together, and began to work for the Kuroda family again.
Kuroda Vocational High School's mission this time was to ask for official positions and official service from both the imperial court and the shogunate. Although he has successively received the duties of guardian of the kingdoms of Danin and Bichu from the imperial court and the shogunate, the newly acquired Misaku Province and several prefectures of Bigo Province still have to be dealt with.
Because the Misaku family was almost single-handedly defeated, the Kuroda family is bound to win the position that this country guards. And the Niko family also knows how much effort they have made, and Niko Yoshihisa still has face, so he is embarrassed to grab this position with the Kuroda family. So this Misakumoru Mamoru was a favor to the Kuroda family, anyway, they got a large piece of land and got real profits.
You must know that the seventh year of Yonglu may be the last chance for the Kuroda family to get an official position, and the incident that happened in the coming year, Kuroda Occupational High School estimates that the final result will not change much, so it is better to know about this matter as soon as possible.
This time, just like when Enryakuji Shomune, Yamamoto Takaquan, and Sasaki Nagahide went to Luo, they took land and water, and boarded the ship from Himeji Castle, and took the ship of the merchant house supported by the Kuroda family.
After boarding the ship and successfully docking at Sakai Town, Kuroda Vocational High School once again brought people to the luxury inn opened by the Kuroda family to stay overnight. The Kuroda family now has a lot of property in Sakai Town, and this is not the only inn. However, because it was here that Kuroda successfully recruited Araki Murashige, Kuroda decided to live here again because he thought it was very good luck here.
Although there were more people this time, this tavern with hundreds of rooms could still accommodate dozens of them. At lunchtime, the boss personally brought the best fresh ingredients to eat, but the wine he called was rejected by Kuroda Vocational High School. Here, the entire Enryakuji sect is strict with cultivation, so they don't drink alcohol, and the others either want to protect Kuroda Vocational High School or have other things, so it's not suitable for drinking.
