Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

Coal is the ancient name for coal.

"Of course, you don't have to be polite to me, sir, and I don't want money. You take it all away. I still have more than ten catties here."

Uncle Chen is very enthusiastic.

"It's only over ten catties, it's not enough!"

Li Yi'an said again: "Uncle Chen, can you help me go to Tongchuan a few times and dig some more? I'll give you all the money, and after you bring it back, just send it to Uncle Zhang's shop."

Uncle Chen agreed boldly: "I don't accept any money that is not money. If the husband insists on giving money, I will get angry. Mr. Charcoal here is holding it. I will call a few more people now and go to Tongchuan together." Dig out a few hundred catties and come back."

Then, Uncle Chen hurriedly discussed this matter. He is not impatient, but as long as it is related to Li Yi'an, it must be completed in a hurry.

"Trouble Uncle Chen!"

Li Yi'an was very grateful, and after speaking, he brought up the bag of charcoal, left Uncle Chen's house, walked outside for a while, came to a blacksmith's shop, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Uncle Zhang."

"Sir, why are you here?"

Zhang Bo, the blacksmith, was still working hard with his hammer to make farm tools. At this moment, he dropped his things and ran over to greet him.

"Uncle Zhang, I want to ask you to build two hunting knives."

Li Yi'an said: "However, let me remind Uncle Zhang that the hunting knife I need is very special, and the method of making it is also different from ordinary ones."

Next, he told Zhang Bo in detail the method of how to smelt refined steel in the later generations.

After opening the great country craftsman template, all the methods of smelting fine steel in later generations were all passed down to his brain.

However, smelting fine steel involves many steps and is very complicated. Uncle Zhang cannot read, so he can only dictate, and there is no way to write it down for him to study.

"Sir, is the method you said really possible?" Uncle Zhang was confused.

He has also been smelting iron for more than 20 years, and he has never heard that iron can be smelted in this way.

Although he didn't understand, Zhang Bo felt very powerful.

Can something from Mr. be great?

"Absolutely works!"

Li Yi'an said confidently: "Let's prepare what we need first, and then build a new furnace. First build one and try it out, and then we'll know whether it works or not."

Uncle Zhang thought for a while, then clapped his hands and said, "Success! No matter how difficult it is, even if it takes my life, I will help Mr. get that hunting knife. I will find someone to rebuild the stove."

Chapter 24

In half a month, seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Yi'an has been tossing about powerful weapons for a powerful country, staying at Uncle Zhang's house almost every day, studying with him how to forge fine steel and weapons.

Uncle Chen was also very fast. In less than three days, he transported several carts of charcoal for Li Yi'an, all free of charge.

Even Ma Zhou stopped studying for the time being, and stayed with Li Yi'an to help him.

Li Shimin attached great importance to this powerful weapon of the country, and sent many people to inquire about Li Yi'an's movements, but until now, all the news that came back said that there was no progress.

Simply put, nothing can be done.

"Your Majesty, I think he is playing tricks and trying to fool us on purpose."

Changsun Wuji overturned his previous good attitude towards Li Yi'an, and said dissatisfiedly: "After half a month, I think he will run away again. Now it's just delaying time. Where did he get any powerful weapon? The weapons in our army are already Best quality ever."

Du Ruhui said: "It is not so easy to manufacture a powerful weapon. It will definitely take time. It is still a long time before half a month. I think that we should wait until we make a conclusion. If we are afraid that he will escape, we should do more in Wannian County." Just get ready."

Changsun Wuji looked gloomy, why even Du Ruhui and others, who had only been to Wannian County once, began to trust a fortune teller so much.

Even His Majesty respected him so much.

Changsun Wuji did not deny Li Yi'an's talent, but he felt displeased when he thought of him saving the assassin. Could it be that he is not as good as a fortune teller?

Li Shimin hesitated, his trust in Li Yi'an gradually disappeared, he thought for a while, and said: "Zhijie, you go to Wannian County on my behalf, and see what the master is doing."

"Yes!"

Cheng Yaojin took the order, left Ganlu Hall immediately, rode a fast horse, and rushed to Wannian County at the fastest speed, and finally found Li Yi'an in Zhang Bo's blacksmith shop.

"Sir, all right!"

Zhang Bo picked up a piece of iron bar and put it into the water with a "sizzling" sound. It cooled down quickly, and a white mist suddenly rose from the water surface.

After the last quenching, Uncle Zhang threw the iron bars on the ground. The blast furnace next to them was still emitting hot air waves and baking continuously. Their bodies were covered with sweat, and their clothes were also wet with sweat.

"Sir, is this what you said, a powerful weapon?"

Cheng Yaojin came over to take a look, and asked curiously.

"It turns out that General Cheng is here."

Li Yi'an picked up the completely cooled iron bar and weighed it for a while, then shook his head and said, "This is a weapon for a powerful country, but it's still not close enough."

"Do you know who I am?"

Cheng Yaojin asked in surprise.

"It happened to work out!"

Li Yi'an didn't intend to explain too much, if Cheng Yaojin's identity doesn't even count, he doesn't deserve to be this gentleman.

Then, he held both ends of the iron bar with both hands and pulled it hard. The seemingly hard iron bar was easily bent at ninety degrees.

Seeing this scene, Cheng Yaojin's eyes widened, and he said, "Sir... how strong is your strength?"

When they met for the first time, after being grabbed by Li Yi'an's wrist, Cheng Yaojin knew that the other party had great strength, but he never dreamed that this strength was so strong that he could bend an iron bar with his bare hands.

"This thing is of low quality, you can do it, General Cheng."

Li Yi'an threw it to him casually.

Cheng Yaojin didn't believe in evil, picked it up and pulled it hard, and found that the piece of iron was soft and bent without using any force, then he pulled out his saber and chopped it down.

"Chong!"

The iron bar broke in two, making it vulnerable.

"Sir, you... can't do it!"
