Chapter 445: Good Knife

Shen Ao's request could not be satisfied by Hirata Shin alone, but if he was not satisfied, he could not do it, so he immediately wrote a letter and called an accompanying samurai to rush back to Fuso day and night to report the matter to Minamoto Yori's family. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Yuan Lai family is already in full swing in the Wa Kingdom, and after the Guandong region, after crusading against a few rebellions, the emperor has relied on it, and now the Yuan Lai family's son-in-law is in prison, of course, it is an important event, but fortunately, there is still room for redemption at the moment, to this point, it is useless to complain about the heavens and people, no matter how to complain, can you still swim over to find Shen Ao to settle accounts? It's not clear who counts whose account!

Since it is to make a sword and a swordsmith, it is easy to talk, but the Yuan Lai family is unwilling, and the emperor must nod, this is an attitude, to show the dependence on the Yuan Lai family, although this knife-making craft is very important to the Japanese people, but when it comes to the Yuan Lai family, it involves politics, and compared with politics, the craft of knife making is insignificant.

Before Minamoto Yori's family could express his position, the emperor was already impatient to immediately send someone with knives and twenty swordsmiths to negotiate with the Great Song Dynasty on a sea ship, hoping to redeem Minamoto Yoriqing as soon as possible; With the attention of the Wa State, this back and forth, of course, is not comparable to ordinary maritime merchants, and it only took more than two months of work for people to come.

Hirata Shin saw the man and the knife, and breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't dare to delay all of a sudden, and immediately came to Honglu Temple to negotiate, but Lord Shen was not there, Hirata Shin was anxious, he had been to Jingzhao Mansion Prison to visit the prison, Yuan Lai Gongzi had already been beaten to a human form, and if he delayed, he might not even be able to save his life, so he borrowed a name, and went out of Jingzhao Mansion again, and went to the Martial Arts Academy to find someone, this Lord Shen was preparing for the Martial Arts Academy, he had already paid attention to it, and he estimated that it should be there, but this time he went to nothing, It is said that Lord Shen has just left on his front feet and returned to Honglu Temple.

Tossing back and forth, finally seeing the main master, a few tears flashed in Hirata's moving eyes: "Lord Shen......"

Shen Ao held him and said, "What's going on, even if you and I meet again after a long absence, Brother Hirata doesn't have to cry." ”

Hirata Shin said embarrassedly: "My lord, the man and the knife have been brought."

Shen Ao was full of interest and said, "Where is it?" Call in. ”

Hirata Shin immediately went out to summon someone, and sure enough, he saw twenty Japanese people coming in with knife boxes, Shen Ao glanced at them, and said with a smile: "Are they swordsmiths?" ”

"Where does the envoy dare to bully Lord G."

Shen Ao ignored him, looked at the twenty widows, and muttered: "Friendship is friendship, business is trading, you have to prove their identity first, come, take these widows to find a blacksmith shop to try their skills, and they don't need to make knives immediately, just see if their skills are skilled." Confirm the identity, report immediately, and, these people are stinky, but they are also international friends, we can't treat guests like this, when we come back, one person buys two clothes, asks for silk, and then opens a table of wine and food, invite them to eat and drink, eat and drink enough, and then communicate with them slowly. ”

By the time Shen Ao finished explaining the matter of the swordsmith, someone had already led these widows who could not understand the language away.

Shen Ao sat on the chair, took a sip of tea, stood up again to check the fifty boxes of knife boxes stacked on the table, opened a box, took out the knife, and pulled the knife out of the sheath according to the handle.

Shen Ao shouted a good word with a high spirit, and said to Hirata Xin: "You Japanese people have no other skills, this knife is a good hand, not bad, not bad." ”

Tuk praised a few words, but Hirata's confidence did not improve at all, and said cautiously: "My lord, can you let it go?" ”

Shen Ao waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, I, Shen Ao, have always been honest, and I still deceived you into a Japanese envoy?" Wait, someone has been called, come, Brother Hirata, let's sit down and drink tea first. ”

Hirata Xin sat down in fear, in the past two months, he had not slept well overnight, seeing that things had settled, he finally let go of half of his heart, and reluctantly smiled: "With the words of the adult, the envoy will rest assured, these days, Lai Yuan Gongzi asked Lord Shen to take care of it, and the envoy felt inexhaustible." ”

Shen Ao waved his hand and said: "Thank me, I don't have to, there are many people who take care of him, from Jingzhao Mansion to our Honglu Temple that Lord Yang, for that what is clear, some Jingzhao Mansion servants are working day and night, working overtime, for fear of treating him slowly, so you want to thank them, or should thank them, money, I don't value it, but to say a word of conscience, I don't know if these unknown unsung heroes love money, they are all family people, and their lives are not rich, hey...... Forget it, don't talk about this, don't talk about this......"

Hirata Shin listened, knowing that he couldn't afford to make a mistake at this time, otherwise all his previous efforts would come to naught, and immediately said: "Lord Shen's words have reminded the envoys, and I will definitely reward them well." He thought about it, took out a wad of money that had been prepared for a long time, took out his last net worth and put it on a few cases, and said, "Please transfer this money to those friends, and there will be a reward in the future." ”

Shen Ao nodded lightly and said, "Okay, then I'll thank them on their behalf." ”

There was a small talk without a pair, Yang Lin finally brought someone over, that Yuan Laiqing really saw a little bit of the appearance of the young master of the family, although he changed into a new clothes, but his whole body was swollen, and there was a unique stench on his body, there were abscesses on the back of his hands, his eyes were blank, he glanced at Shen Ao with a gray look, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed reflexively: "The sinner has seen an adult, and has seen an adult." Although his Chinese language is blunt, this sentence has a Bianjing flavor, and I don't think I practiced much in prison.

Shen Aoxu raised his hand: "That's it, get up, look at you, when you arrive in Bianjing, you also make trouble, and you have come to learn your skills, but it has come to this point, what did you do earlier?" Come on, I won't talk about you, you can go back with this Hirata envoy. By the way, you have to go to Bianjing within three days, otherwise it's another crime, understand? ”

Yuan Lai Qingmo said that it was three days, and he didn't want to stay in Bianjing for an hour, and still kowtowed mechanically: "Understand, understand, sinners know their mistakes, sinners know their mistakes." ”

This matter was solved, and the Japanese people happily returned to his Fusang, and Shen Ao got the craftsmen and the Japanese knives, and these knife craftsmen were really good, so they tried to make a knife, which was no different from the sharp blades of the Japanese knives sent. Shen Ao communicated with them, it was still easy to find a translator in the Honglu Temple, Shen Ao stood on the seat, looked at the twenty craftsmen with dodging eyes below, and first encouraged them, saying that they were very hard to cross the ocean thousands of miles away.

The craftsmen just hung their heads, and they didn't dare to come out, Fusang is a hierarchical society, although the status of the craftsmen is not too low, but in their opinion, this lord of the Great Song Kingdom is already an existence like Amaterasu, so naturally they can only obey the reprimand.

Shen Ao continued: "What about you, you will stay in my Great Song Dynasty in the future, make knives for my Great Song Dynasty, rest assured, I will take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, and there will be money to spend every month, and the silver will be greatly distributed." Shen Ao pinched his thumb and forefinger with a kind attitude.

The swordsmiths listened to Shen Ao's words, and they were all overjoyed, the prosperity of Bianjing was beyond their imagination, let them go back to the island where birds don't lay eggs, and they still refused! One by one, they bowed their heads and kept hilarious.

"Okay, you stay first, and I'll arrange a workshop for you in a while, and you just have to do things, and besides, in order to show my lord's respect for you, I also plan to send sixty apprentices for you to send, and I'll leave the chores of lighting the fire to them, and you're welcome."

The swordsmiths were even more excited, and they did not expect to come to Bianjing, so favored by the Song people, and asked for a translation and transmission, saying that they were full of confidence and were willing to serve Lord Shen, and from now on they would be Lord Shen's retainers, and they would definitely make good knives for Lord Shen.

Finally, of course, the discussion of knife making, the sword base of the Japanese people was imitated according to the standard of the Tang knife, and Shen Ao fused some experience of later generations, blended the Japanese knife and the Tang knife of this era, and carried out some improved designs, and then named these knives, called Confucian swords.

Anyway, there is no pressure on Shen Ao to copy the sword in the world, and there is not much pressure on the Japanese to copy the Tang people, and there is not much pressure on him to copy the Japanese people.

If you continue to explain, Shen Ao will not care; After sending the Japanese away, he called Yang Lin and whispered: "Have all those apprentices been recruited?" ”

Yang Lin said: "My lord, it's all done, all of them are young and strong, their brains are flexible, and they learn things very quickly." ”

Shen Ao held Yang Lin's shoulder and said: "Explain it, tell them to follow and learn well, and if they learn well, in the future, Lord Ben will support them with twenty yuan a month." ”

Yang Lin smiled and said: "Don't worry, what the lord ordered, the lower officials will not make mistakes." ”

In addition to Confucian knives, Shen Ao also booked a lot of firearms on the side of the Ministry of War, the technology of the Great Song Dynasty is already the top in this era, such as assault guns, pear flower guns and artillery and other prototypes have begun to be used, and even a small amount of equipment, Shen Ao wants these firearms, of course, for teaching, but the Ministry of War was startled, Shen Lengzi opened the school well, even this kind of big killing weapon is actually wanted? There is a little reluctance, saying that it is not easy to store, and if it is not appropriate, it may cause a catastrophe, which means that you can use it, but you can't take it for storage.

Shen Ao grinded for a while, and finally brought some back.

Seeing that September 15 was coming, the sect leaders came one by one, and came to deal with this Shangguan first, these people selected by Shen Ao were not holding a roster and hooping, and they were very demanding, first of all, they wanted them to have experience in fighting against the Western Xia and Khitans, and they didn't even bother to look at it without going through seven or eight battles.

Second, let them not be willing. If the soul of the person is prosperous, you will order the person to go, the person will definitely feel uncomfortable, not to make it with you, where is the willing to serve you, and teach here in peace? People who are unwilling are different, because their souls are discouraged, their colleagues are excluded, their bosses are disdainful, and they can't see their future for a while, and they will gradually become discouraged and cold; At this time, Shen Ao gave them a chance, where would they let it go? Death is certain.

The last point is to have a bit of a theoretical foundation, that is to say, to have a bit of culture, you are a character who charges into battle as soon as his brain is hot, such a person still comes to teach, get out of the way.

Therefore, carefully selected, only about 30 people were selected, most of them were nameless, but there was one person who was very famous, named Han Shizhong, who made a lot of contributions in the battle of Xixia and Fang La, but unfortunately his background was not good, but the official was not promoted quickly, and he was a little depressed.

Shen Ao met with them, these military attachés saw Shen Ao, they were extremely respectful, this is not that Shen Ao has any royal spirit, in this era, Shen Ao is a civil official, they are military attachés, it is normal for military attachés to be a head shorter in front of civil officials, plus Shen Ao's limelight, who dares to show off his might in front of him?

Shen Ao only said a few words to them lightly, urging them to do things well, and then waved his hand and told them to standby. At this time, he still has to show a little majesty, Shen Ao knows in his heart that these Qiu Ba he is facing are all old fritters crawling out of the sea of corpses and blood, if you show a little weakness, it will become a problem if you can suppress it at that time.

Early in the morning of the fifteenth, the school was decorated and the flags were displayed, and Shen Ao took the lead in summoning all the scholars, doctors, sect heads, Xu Chang and others in the Xuanwu Hall, looked at them with serious faces, took a sip of tea slowly, and sat upright.
