Li Shimin

Ying Qi and Wu Fu, two artisans, were not at all surprised by the reaction of the few people.

Back then, when the refined steel was refined for the first time, their expressions were even more exaggerated and surprised than Li Shimin and the others.

"Return to Your Majesty, Duke Qi, the villain dares to guarantee it with the head on his neck!"

Ying Qi and Wu Fu hurriedly bowed their hands in salute.

Immediately, he hurriedly said, "It's just that this is the time to smelt steel from pig iron. But if you start smelting from iron ore, it will take at least an hour!"

"An hour?"

After listening, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji murmured a few words subconsciously.

Immediately, his face was full of excitement.

"So fast, so fast!"

Then, Changsun Wuji thought of something, and continued to ask: "How many catties of fine steel can be smelted in one furnace?"

"Return to Your Majesty, Duke Qi, one furnace can make two hundred catties of fine steel!"

Ying Qi and Wu Fu clasped their hands again and replied.

"Two hundred catties, so much!"

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji were shocked again.

If it's just that the smelting bureaus under the supervision of the Shaofu need at least two hours to smelt a furnace of steel, and only a few kilograms of steel can be smelted in one furnace.

But now, it has doubled directly.

On the side, Cheng Zhijie couldn't bear it long ago, and while several people were contemplating, he quickly stared at Ying Qi and Wu Fu and asked, "Master said, are the horses and Xuanhuas in the hands of Cheng Chusi's bastards?" The ax was forged by you two?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji all looked closely at Ying Qi and Wu Fu.

Immediately, Ying Qi and Wu Fu could not help but turn pale with shock, and hurriedly bowed their hands in salute.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty and Su Guogong. The master ordered me to forge these. However, I really did not expect that the young gentlemen would use the stumps of the master's courtyard wall to test Ma and Xuan. The sharpness of the flower ax!"

Forehead!

Hearing this, Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie were taken aback.

Immediately, his face was full of embarrassment.

Those evil beasts are really worthless!

However, after being taken aback for a moment, Cheng Zhijie continued to ask: "I am not blaming you two, but want to know how long it takes to build a horse lance and a Xuanhua axe!"

Hearing that Cheng Zhijie and Li Shimin came here to forge the horse lance and Xuanhua axe, Ying Qi and Wu Fu were overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "Return to your majesty, Lord Su, to forge the horse lance and Xuanhua axe." , it doesn't take long.

In the hands of the villain, there is already a forged mold, you only need to pour molten steel into it, and after it solidifies, a rough blank of a horse or Xuanhua ax will come out.Afterwards, it needs to be finely polished, which can take as long as a quarter of an hour, or as slow as half an hour, and the forging can be successful! "

"It took a total of three days of hard work for the horses and Xuanhua axes of several young gentlemen!"

"Just three days?"

After listening, Li Shimin and Cheng Zhijie couldn't help but widen their eyes, turned their heads slowly, and looked at each other. After making sure that they heard correctly, they couldn't help being ecstatic.

"So, each of you can forge a fine steel horse lance in one day?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"Return to Your Majesty, Qi Guogong, the two of us can forge five horse spears in one day!"

Ying Qi and Wu Fu said slowly.

"Then why did it take you two three days to forge those wicked horses and Xuanhua axes?"

Changsun Wuji narrowed his eyes and asked slowly.

"Return to Your Majesty, Duke Qi, in the remaining two days, the two of us are forging steel crossbows for His Royal Highness!"

Ying Qi and Wu Fu replied quickly.

"Steel crossbow?"

Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji had doubts in their eyes.

"Returning to Your Majesty, Duke Qi, the steel crossbow is a crossbow forged entirely of refined steel. This steel crossbow is so powerful that it can shoot through iron armor three hundred paces away!"

Ying Qi and Wu Fu explained.

"A crossbow forged entirely of fine steel?"

After hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes widened, his face full of distress.

"Prodigal stuff..."

……

Chapter 167 Understanding the Assembly Line Process

"Ahh~"

At this time, Li Chengqian, who was outside, watching Cheng Chusi and the others leisurely, humming and chopping trees, didn't know that he was implicated in this way.

"Gao Ming, the Xuanhua ax is such a mighty weapon, do you want to play for a while?"

"Exactly, Xuanhua ax and horse lance are magic weapons that a man should use!"

"Gao Ming, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy together. Cutting down trees is such a wonderful thing, why don't you try it together!"

On the side, Cheng Cheng Chusi and Li Chongyi bewitched Li Chengqian while cutting down trees.

"This matter is Master's punishment to you, I dare not help you!"

Although he was a little moved by what he heard, Li Chengqian still shook his head firmly, "Besides, if you want to test the Xuanhua ax and the horse lance, I can use them tomorrow!"

"Gao Ming, I'm sore all over. I want to restore the tree stump outside the Master's Court to its original state. I don't know how much I have suffered. You can't just ignore death!"

Seeing that Li Chengqian was not fooled, Li Chongyi, Changsun Chong and the others became anxious.

Among them, only Cheng Chusi and Yuchi Baolin were often practiced by the old killers at home. Coupled with their rough skin and thick flesh, their bodies had already adapted to the impact of strenuous exercise.

So, while it's a little sore, it's not a big deal to cut down a tree.

But for Li Chongyi and Changsun Chong, every time they waved their arms, they would feel sore all over their bodies and feel like dying.

According to this kind of progress, if you want to restore the row of tree stumps to their original state, you will have to work until the year of the monkey.

But now, among them, Li Chengqian, the only one in good health, didn't even help them.

"It's not that I don't want to help, it's that the master doesn't allow it!"

Li Chengqian shook his head repeatedly and refused.

He is not stupid, if he helps these people, then he will be punished next time.

He didn't dare to test the master's temperament of vengeance.

"clever……"

Seeing this, Chang Sun begged all over his face.

"clever!"

At this time, there was an angry shout in the distance.

Li Chengqian and Cheng Chusi couldn't help looking over.

Suddenly, everyone panicked.

Those who had just left for a short time rushed over in a hurry, especially His Majesty, who still had a hint of anger in his eyes.

"Aye?"

"His Majesty!"

Li Shimin glanced at Li Chengqian and the others, and then let out a cold snort.

"I heard that you actually have a crossbow whose whole body is forged from fine steel?"

Li Chengqian was startled, and quickly replied: "Aye, my child has such a steel crossbow!"

"It really is!"

Hearing this, Li Shimin became anxious for a while, "Prodigal, where is the crossbow?"

"Aye, wait a moment!"

Li Chengqian didn't dare to delay. Under Li Shimin's glaring gaze, he hurriedly ran to a small tree not far away, and with some difficulty picked up a dark and shiny steel crossbow from the root of the tree. The whole body was made of fine steel. Looking at it from a distance, you can tell that this is definitely a weapon for killing on the battlefield.

Immediately, the eyes of Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and the others shone.

It's just that such a powerful crossbow was thrown under the tree root so casually!

Thinking about it, Li Shimin looked at Li Chengqian with an unfriendly expression.

Seeing this, although Li Chengqian didn't know why, he didn't dare to ask questions, and hastily handed the crossbow to Li Shimin with eyes full of reluctance.

"Hmph, only crossbows, no arrows?"

Li Shimin asked coldly.

"Yes, baby, go and get it now!"

Li Chengqian quickly replied, and trotted under the tree again.

Soon, he grabbed a handful of steel arrows with one hand and walked over!

"These arrows are also forged with precision farming?"

As soon as he got started, Li Shimin felt that something was wrong and his face was full of surprise.

"Back to Aye, that's right!"

Li Chengqian replied.

"Humph!"

Li Shimin snorted again, then lowered his head, carefully inspecting the steel crossbow in his hand.

The more I look at it, the happier I am.

Looking up and looking around, looking at the woods in the distance, his eyes lit up.

He picked up a steel crossbow, put it on the steel crossbow, and aimed at a small tree in the distance. With a crisp sound, the steel arrow had half of its body inserted into the tree trunk.

"Your Majesty is brave!"

Beside them, Cheng Zhijie and Li Chongyi quickly offered a bunch of rainbow farts.

However, everyone's two eyes were fixed on the still trembling steel arrow, and their faces were full of longing.

"Haha, it's really a powerful crossbow, but it's a pity that making one is too time-consuming, and it also consumes fine steel!"

Li Shimin said with some regret.

"Aye, it won't take too long to build such a powerful crossbow!" Li Chengqian said hastily.

"Ok?"

Li Shimin was startled.

"Ying Qi and Wu Fu have already forged the mold for this steel crossbow. As long as there is enough molten steel, one person can forge more than ten steel crossbows in one day!"

Li Chengqian said.

"Is that so?"

Li Shimin quickly looked at Li Chengqian.

"Exactly!"

Having successfully attracted Aye's attention, Li Chengqian let out a soft breath.

"Just like horse lances, both Ying Qi and Wu Fu have forged molds, so in one day, seven horse lances can be forged!"

"Master said, this is the assembly line process. Any weapon can be forged in this way as long as the mold is forged in advance. It is more than ten times faster than those craftsmen forging weapons one by one..."

Li Chengqian explained in detail the assembly line process that Li Xuan said.

After hearing this, Li Shimin and Changsun Wuji couldn't help being shocked.

"Molds, using molds to forge weapons, such a simple matter, no one can think of..."

"It only takes half an hour longer to smelt these fine steels than iron smelting. And forging these steel crossbows and horse spears, there are also forging molds, just pour molten steel. In this way, from iron ore to smelting horses The speed of the lance is already faster than smelting a furnace of pig iron!"
