With Wei Yan's permission, Wei Ba continued to exercise masochistically every morning, and spent the rest of his time drilling into the iron work and mingling with those craftsmen. Although he did not major in metallurgy, he was still clear about the basic theories, and with the help of those craftsmen who had been working on iron all his life, he quickly figured out the current situation of iron smelting in this era, and also knew where he should work hard.

It is unlikely to happen overnight, but as long as the key points are identified, what is needed next is some specific and thorough shiyan, and then the process is finalized, and the relevant facilities for expanding production are not a big problem for Wei Ba, who has experienced the production of modern enterprises. And the overtime he hated the most in the past is now also regarded by him as a kind of training, and it is no longer so unbearable.

When the long knife was knocked to the ground under the old craftsman's hammer, Wei Ba's eyes became brighter and brighter, like fire in the hearth, and his waist and back became straighter and straighter, like the ring knife that was gradually taking shape.

He himself was immersed in the transformation of Jishu and didn't notice this, but Wei Feng, who came to Tiezuo again, suddenly noticed his change.

"Aba, you're in good spirits." Wei Feng patted Wei Ba on the shoulder: "Father is still worried that you can't stand it, but now it seems that you are really different." Alas, after all these years, you can finally look like a man. ”

Wei Ba smiled slightly and looked at Wei Feng: "Your iron ...... How's Tetsu trying? ”

Wei Feng smiled and hugged Wei Ba's shoulder hard: "The effect is very good, do you know, using this iron puff to turn the ground is three times more efficient than using a wooden pray." My father had already ordered the allocation of iron from Nanzheng, and was ready to fight another 2,000. ”

"Two thousand?" Wei Ba frowned: "Since it's easy to use, weishenme doesn't play more, one per household?" ”

Wei Feng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "Silly boy, what do you know." Iron is such a precious thing, how can it all be used to make agricultural tools, of course, it must be used to make weapons first. Alas, by the way, how are you going, Father is still waiting for your sword. ”

"It's coming." Wei Ba pouted: "Three days later, two days sooner, the sample will definitely come out." ”

"That's good." Wei Feng's eyes lit up, stared at the knife for a moment, pulled Wei Ba aside, and whispered: "Aba, after helping my father fight the knife, can you help me fight it too?" ”

Wei Ba was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Of course there is yours, the knife is out, of course everyone has it, how can it be without you." ”

"Everyone?" Wei Feng looked at Wei Ba in surprise: "What are you kidding?" ”

Wei Ba smiled helplessly. He understood what Wei Feng meant, Wei Feng - and his father Wei Yan both regarded this as a weapon for refining gods, the only one in the world, but he didn't expect that what he wanted to do was an industrialized product, not one or two mouthfuls, but thousands, tens of thousands. If possible, then the soldiers of Shu will applaud it.

"I'm not kidding you, really." Wei Ba paused for another moment, and then said with a straight face: "That iron matter, if possible, let's fight a little more." Of course, weapons are important, but food is even more important, and the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. If you produce one more stone of grain in Hanzhong, you can transport three or five stone grains less from Chengdu, and it also saves a lot of time. ”

Wei Feng looked at Wei Ba in surprise, and only after a while did he smile and say, "Good boy, you have made progress, you actually know how to help your father share his worries." Well, my father would be glad to find out. He paused, and then said with a wry smile: "Of course your idea makes sense, but if you want to build weapons and farm tools, the amount of iron must be very large, and you will not be able to do it for a while." The two are in power, of course, weapons first. ”

"Not really." Wei Ba shook his head and interrupted Wei Feng's words. "The farm tools are in a hurry, and the spring ploughing is imminent, so now that the iron is beaten out and distributed to the farmers, we can grow more land, and we can harvest more grain in the autumn. And the weapon is not in a hurry at this time, the prime minister has not yet arrived, and it is no problem to delay it for two or three months. Besides, the new weapon has not yet taken shape, so instead of rushing to build it, it is better to wait until I am sure that I will do it. ”

Wei Feng's eyebrows locked lightly, looking at Wei Ba who was talking eloquently, and he didn't say a word until Wei Ba finished speaking, he pondered for a while: "What you said makes sense, I didn't expect the priorities here." Then come with me, and say to my father face to face. ”

As soon as he heard his father Wei Yan, Wei Ba felt a little worried in his heart, but after thinking about it, if he wanted to change the fate of the Wei family, he was afraid that he would not be able to cross the barrier of his father, and the time was urgent, and he could not delay it any longer.

"Okay, I'll go and tell my father." Wei Ba made up his mind and followed Wei Feng out of the iron work.

Tiezuo and the county temple are not far away, but it is just a matter of a few steps. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the county temple, Wei Ba felt that something was wrong, and there seemed to be a crackling sound in the courtyard. He glanced at Wei Feng, and just as Wei Feng also turned his head to look at him, the brothers invariably quickened their pace.

As soon as they entered the door, they were startled, and in the hall, Daddy Wei Yan sat behind the desk, his face pale. Yang Ling knelt at the foot of the steps, trembling, two people who looked like officials were being tortured at the bottom of the steps, one of them had been beaten to the point that his skin was broken and he was dying.

However, what surprised Wei Ba the most was not these tortured people, he saw at a glance that there were two people sitting in the hall, a middle-aged man, and the other was a girl in white who he met in Yangping Mountain that day. Seeing Wei Ba come in, the girl glanced at him, her eyes as cold as ever.

Wei Ba was a little surprised, but he was not as nervous as last time. He followed Wei Feng to the hall and saluted Wei Yan. Wei Yanjian raised his eyebrows, and stretched out his hand to point at the middle-aged man next to him: "This is Master Ma Daima, the captain of Pingbei, who came to inspect the preparations of the camp in Canyang on the order of the prime minister, and you still don't come forward to salute." ”

It turned out that he was Ma Dai. Wei Ba thought as he stepped forward and saluted. Ma Dai smiled softly and returned the salute. His gaze swept over Wei Feng's face, and Zuihou fell on Wei Ba's face.

Wei Ba's heart froze, and he glanced at the girl in white again, and saw that the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, knowing that this girl's resentment was still unresolved, and today it was probably because the person who came was not good, and the good person did not come.

Sure enough, Ma Dai stroked his beard and said with a smile: "General Zhenbei, I have heard for a long time that you are not only quite strategic in using soldiers, but also good at teaching your son. The eldest son Wei Feng is mature and steady, and the third son Wei Wu has the qualifications of a famous general, but the most outstanding is the second son Wei Ba, who abandoned martial arts and followed literature, and was full of economy, which is really gratifying. ”

Wei Yan was confused, Ma Dai praised him for his strategy in using soldiers, he thought he deserved it, and even a little complacent, praised Wei Feng for being mature and steady, and Wei Wu for having the posture of a famous general, although it was a little empty, but it was not too outrageous, but where did the second son Wei Ba start with a full stomach? He knows a few words, but it's still too far away from a full belly. Ma Dai didn't want to ridicule my Wei family for being uneducated?

"Captain Ma has won the award." Wei Yan said lightly, his eyes were a little unkind.

"General Wei is humble." Ma Dai arched his hand, "It must be that the general is busy with military affairs, and he doesn't know Ling Lang's high theory." Coincidentally, a few days ago, she went to Pingyang Pass to sweep the tomb of her father, and occasionally heard Ling Lang comment on several famous generals of my Han, which was quite unexpected. ”

As soon as he heard this, Wei Yan somewhat understood, this must be Wei Ba's nonsense, something that offended the Ma family. He glared at Wei Ba sternly, and said in a deep voice: "Huangkou Ru'er, where is there any high opinion, it's just some nonsense." If there is something that offends Captain Ma, there are a lot of Captain Ma, so there is no need to compete with him. ”

When Wei Ba heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, although his father had a bad temper, but he was first-class in protecting his shortcomings, this seemed to mean that his son was not sensible, and asked Ma Dai not to take it to heart, but in fact, he was accusing Ma Dai of bullying the young and losing his identity. Sure enough, it's horizontal enough, it's domineering enough.

Ma Dai's eyes tightened, and he seemed to hesitate, but the girl behind him couldn't hold back, got up from the table, and bowed to Wei Yan. "General Wei, I listened to Ling Lang's high argument at the time, and I was amazed. After I went back, I couldn't understand it for a long time, and I took the liberty to come here today, and dared to ask the general and Ling Lang for advice to solve my doubts. Please also ask the general to fulfill. ”

Wei Yan's eyes swept away, and his displeasure was overflowing. He snorted: "It's okay, you come and listen, if there is anything you don't understand, General Ben will solve your confusion for you." ”

"Thank you, General." The girl bowed and bowed again, "The general is skilled in military affairs, and he must have his own insight into the world's famous generals." Dare to ask the general, looking at the world, who are the famous generals who can enter the general's blue eyes? Among the famous generals of this dynasty, who should come first? ”

Wei Yan stroked the short beard under his chin and muttered for a moment: "If you want to talk about the world's famous generals, there was Liangzhou Sanming before, and then there was Huangfu Song, all of whom can be called famous generals. Cao Wei's five good generals, but so, don't mention it. As for this dynasty, Guan Hou, Zhang Hou, and Ling Zun can all be regarded as famous generals, but it is difficult to say who will come first. The benevolent see the benevolent, the wise see the wise, and the strong is ranked, I'm afraid it's not appropriate. However, my personal humble opinion is that Guan Hou is slightly better. He snorted and waved his hand: "Of course, this is just my family's words, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously." ”

The girl smiled coldly: "General, this is indeed just the general's words, and it can even be said that it is just the general's own opinion." Because Ling Lang seems to have a different opinion from the general. Guan Hou, who is valued by the general, is actually not worth mentioning in Ling Lang's eyes. As for the father, he is just a lost dog, and he dares to be among the famous generals. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wei Ba secretly sighed. The old monk said well, women are tigers, and you must avoid them. The woman of the Ma family can't be messed with, after so many days, she finally came to the door to ask for justice. This girl is not only ruthless enough, but also yin enough, she probably knew that her father Wei Yan was not convinced by anyone, and only admired Guan Yu, so she took Guan Yu as a matter, and by the way, she took the real problem of a lost dog. No matter how short Daddy is, he can't make a big deal about this matter.

Sure enough, as Wei Ba expected, Wei Yan's face changed as soon as he heard this. He slapped the case and shouted: "Shaft, what's going on, have you ever said such a thing?" "—————— new book, ask for all kinds of support!
