I learned skills in a different world

Shen Fangshi's expression remained unchanged, and he split the other pieces of wood one by one. Only when splitting the ash wood, he used greater strength.

"Yu Ting, take my warrant and go get some swords from the military workshop." Shen Fangshi quickly wrote a warrant, stamped it with the civilian workshop's seal, and handed it to Mo Yuting.

"Yes." Mo Yuting heard this and immediately ran out of the workshop.

The civilian workshop and the military workshop are very close, and it only takes about a quarter of an hour to go back and forth.

Although both of them carry the banner of Yu Chengjun, the military workshop is more formal than the civilian workshop. After all, they have establishments in the imperial court, while the civilian workshop is more of the private workshop of Chu Kui and Shen Fangshi, but the imperial court is still young. The military pay was in arrears for years, and the monthly wages of the craftsmen in the military workshop were paid by Chu Kui. Now that both workshops are supported by Chu Kui, there is no big difference.

Fortunately, the civilian workshops have begun to make profits, not much, but they can barely cover the expenses. Unlike the military workshops, which are bottomless pits, the military workshops are related to the combat power of the army and are indispensable, and both The division of labor is also different.

The military workshop is mainly responsible for war equipment, building and repairing weapons. The migrant workshops produce daily necessities, such as agricultural tools, textile machines, etc.

Therefore, there are no weapons in the civilian workshops.

It's just that Shen Fangshi is more accustomed to staying in civilian workshops, and this knife is intended to be given away. Many of the military craftsmen in the military workshop are soldiers, so the news cannot be hidden at all. In the civilian workshop, at least he can hide it. Chu Kui for a while.

Soon Mo Yuting came back with a few swords. He was an apprentice in the civilian workshop, and with Shen Fangshi's warrant, he was able to take out several weapons from the military workshop.

"Uncle Zhao, take these weapons and let me try them."

Uncle Zhao is the most powerful among the blacksmiths. The reason why apprentices like Mo Yuting are not allowed to hold it is because they are too young and not strong enough. They will inevitably be inaccurate when testing the knife, and they are also afraid of being injured.

Unsurprisingly, these ordinary swords were soon cut off by the high carbon steel, and those weapons that were usually called precious swords were not worth mentioning in front of it.

Everyone else was shocked by this result, and they all looked at Shen Fangshi.

They had never seen such a sharp knife, and such a magical weapon was made by Mr. Lin. They witnessed the birth of this knife with their own eyes.

Everyone's admiration was beyond words, and apprentices such as Lin Xiaotao and Mo Yuting looked at Shen Fang even more intensely, as if they were looking at a god.

Shen Fangshi put the knife into the scabbard, and the sharp edge of the knife was restrained by the scabbard, giving it a sense of majesty and nobility.

Everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Uncle Zhao asked with some expectation: "Mr. Lin, can we create such a magic weapon in the future?"

"The weapons are probably made by military workshops."

Before everyone could be disappointed, they heard Shen Fangshi say again: "But although civilian workshops cannot make weapons, you can use this method to smelt steel, and then use the steel to make farm tools and other tools."

Everyone suddenly realized, yes, how could they forget that such good steel can also be used to make other tools.

Shen Fangshi put the knife into the wooden box he made. It was still early, so he was going to go find Chu Kui, tell Chu Kui about the high carbon steel, and give him the knife by the way.

As soon as Shen Fangshi entered the military camp, he found that there were fewer people in the camp than usual. The soldiers who occasionally passed by Shen Fangshi would stop and say hello to him. Most of the soldiers in the military camp knew Shen Fangshi and knew that he was Mr. Lin, who made various tools. .

Shen Fangshi nodded in return. He had been busy with coal mining and steelmaking recently, and then he remembered that the weather had gradually warmed up. Although the fighting had stopped, Yuchengguan had entered the busy farming season. For example, the potatoes were now ripe and could be started. Gained.

Although he and his workshop produced a lot of farming equipment, there were more fields to take care of at the same time, so it is estimated that many soldiers in the military camp went to the military fields.

Fortunately, Chu Kui was in his tent.

The guards at the camp all knew Shen Fang, so they did not stop him. They walked into the camp and saw him, Chu Kui, looking at the map of Yucheng Pass.

When Chu Kui saw Shen Fangshi coming in, he immediately said happily: "Jing Nian, you're here, sit down quickly."

"looking at what?"

Chu Kui frowned, "The terrain distribution of foreign races."

Before Shen Fangshi could ask again, Chu Kui continued: "Spring happens to be the time when the Humang people are at their weakest. Generally, by this time, their stored grain has been exhausted. After a winter of consumption, the war horses will lose weight and lose their fighting strength." It will cut a lot.”

"In addition, the probability of pregnancy between Humang women and livestock will be much higher at this time. In order to increase the chance of survival, Humang people usually gather together. At that time, pregnant Humang women, livestock and Humang people will gather together. With limited movement, our army can form an encirclement. If we launch an attack, this is the best time."

Shen Fangshi was a little confused: "If this is the case, why didn't we do this in spring last year?"

"In the past, Yuchengguan was close to Humang, and we had the same difficulties that the Humang people had, such as cold and hunger. Compared with the Humang people, we were not familiar with the road terrain in Humang. Therefore, in the past spring, we faced difficulties in Humang. People don’t have many advantages.”

Shen Fangshi frowned, even if there was not enough food in Yuchengguan, there was still a huge Central Plains behind it, and there would definitely be food in the rich land.

The Wei army at Yucheng Pass guarded the pass for the Wei Dynasty and served as a security barrier for the Central Plains. Once the Hu Mang people took advantage of it due to lack of food and grass, the consequences would be disastrous. I wonder what the emperor and the court officials thought.

If the border was defeated, what good fruits could they reap?

After coming to this world for a few months, he also heard some things about the imperial court, but he didn't expect that they would be so deductible from the army's food and salary. Maybe it was because of the money that moved people's hearts that they dared to stretch out their hands for food and salary at the border.

Then he remembered another thing. Even after so long, Shen Fangshi still couldn't calm down.

The system was also very angry, shouting in Shen Fangshi's mind: "The blood of the soldiers is not worth shedding for the stupid and unscrupulous emperor and the ministers who are in their prime positions. They have failed these soldiers who charged into battle and fought through life and death. Host, hurry up Be strong and let us teach them how to behave!"]

The system's words dispersed some of Shen Fangshi's melancholy and he came back to his senses.

Chu Kui smiled softly again, "But now, with the right time and harmony, it is a good season to attack Hu Mang."

Shen Fangshi was a little curious, "Why?"

"because of you."

"I?"

When Chu Kui saw Shen Fang, he didn't understand for a moment and patiently explained: "Well, first of all, over the years you discovered sweet potatoes and made farm tools that are convenient for plowing, allowing us to have a good winter without excessive losses. If it is true, If we attack Hu Mang, we will have sufficient supplies of food and grass, which will greatly reduce our worries."

Shen Fangshi nodded, as if yes.

"Secondly, you created the repeating crossbow, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the Yuchengguan army. You helped us successfully capture the Humang prince A Lugu and more than 1,300 Humang cavalry, and captured a large number of war horses and weapons. and supplies.”

Shen Fangshi nodded, but this was because the soldiers of Chu Kui and Yu Chengguan were fighting fiercely.

"Third, you were the first to discover the problem with Hu Mang's cavalry weapons, and helped us discover iron ore, so that we no longer lack weapons and armor."

Shen Fangshi said calmly: "This is not entirely my fault."
