   Chapter 106 What did you say

   Zhao Song frowned slightly when he heard the words, "Your grandfather's sword has been with him for many years. It is an ancient sword with a sturdy blade, how could it be chipped?"

   Zhao Hanzhang said: "The group of Xiongnu soldiers we encountered, they used very good knives, and their weapons were no less than our Central Plains. I don't know where they used iron."

  Zhao pondered for a while and said, "Bingzhou has many iron mines, and Liu Yuan occupied the area of ​​Bingzhou before. If the weapon is due to the difference in iron quality, it should have been taken from Bingzhou."

Zhao Hanzhang pondered, they need iron essence with higher purity to make steel. Mr. Ji bought two pieces from the iron shop in the county town and brought them back to Fu Tinghan to practice, but they found that the quality of iron essence was very poor, and steelmaking would cost a lot Not to mention, the refining rate is also very low.

   Originally, it was difficult for the temperature of the furnace to reach the temperature of steelmaking. No matter how bad the quality of the iron was, it would be even more difficult for them to produce steel.

   Zhao Hanzhang threw the gun to Tinghe, "Five Uncles, I want to re-refine this sword and add better iron to beat it to make it stronger and sharper."

   Zhao Hao pondered, "To fight the sword again, you have to hire a master craftsman to not destroy this sword."

   Zhao Hanzhang nodded in agreement, "Can Fifth Uncle have a recommendation?"

   Zhao Song shook his head, "Most good blacksmiths are in the hands of the Ministry of War and various vassal kings. How can we get such a master craftsman?"

   "People can look for it slowly. I believe that as long as you are sincere, you can always find it. It's just that good iron elites are rare. I wonder if the fifth uncle knows people from Bingzhou?"

   Zhao Ming:…

   He looked at Zhao Hanzhang quietly.

  Zhao stroking his beard and thinking, he threw the people he knew out of his mind one by one. After a while, he said, "Ah," "Liu Yueshi is in Bingzhou, and he is now the prefect of Bingzhou."

   Zhao Hanzhang: "Liu Kun?" She vaguely remembered that Liu Kun's word was Yueshi.

   "That's right," Zhao Song asked, "You recognize him too?"

   Of course she knew him, but the famous minister of Jin Dynasty didn't know her.

   Zhao Hanzhang asked: "What is the relationship between the fifth uncle and Liu Yueshi?"

   "It's average," Zhao Song said, "Your uncle is more familiar with him."

   Oh, yes, they are the same twenty-four friends, the famous eat, drink and play in history, twenty-four people who are dissolute and unrestrained.

   Zhao Hanzhang thought about it and felt that it was too tortuous to start from Zhao Zhongyu, mainly because she could not see Zhao Zhongyu, and many things could not be grasped.

   So she still mainly attacked the fifth uncle, "I don't know if I can contact him. Jinyang is now surrounded by the Xiongnu army. He must also want to contact the outside world. I am willing to exchange some other things for iron essence."

Zhao Ming couldn't help looking at her and said, "Sanniang, you just need to make up for a sword, and then waste it again. A basket is enough, where do you need to exchange it for something? Isn't it Tie Jing, my uncle bought it for you? already."

Zhao Hanzhang: "...Thank you uncle, but this sword was left to me by my grandfather. I want to do it myself. Can you take me with you when you send someone out? A carefully selected top-quality product."

   Zhao Ming, "Is it really just to buy a basket of iron essence, or do you want to take this opportunity to contact the people who sell iron essence over there and buy a lot of iron ore or iron essence?"

Zhao Hanzhang raised his eyebrows at him without hesitation, and did not deny this, he turned his head and said to Zhao Song: "Five uncles, you should have noticed that more and more refugees have flowed into Runan County recently, and the people from Wubao are in If you increase the number of parts, you must also increase the number of parts to protect the clan. Iron is needed to train farm implements and weapons. If you can get good iron essence..."

Zhao Song: "You're right, but Bingzhou is too far away from Runan, and the Huns are still isolated from traffic. It is too difficult to transport iron ore and iron essence. If I really want to buy iron essence from Bingzhou, I am afraid that I haven't left Bingzhou yet. We were robbed of people and goods."

   "We also have iron ore in Runan." He lowered his voice and said, "The quality may not be as good as Bingzhou's, but it's cheap, close, and safe."

   Zhao Ming:…

   Zhao Hanzhang immediately followed the stick, "I wonder if I can meet the iron seller? Maybe I can find a good quality iron in it, and my farm also needs to buy farm tools, and it will cost a lot to fight them all."

   She said: "You also know that buying iron in the county town is very restricted, and blacksmiths can't get so much iron."

   Zhao Hao understands that she has a troupe in her hand. In addition to farm tools, she must also use weapons. These must be avoided from the eyes and ears of the yamen.

   Zhao Song agreed after a little thought. Anyway, most of the nobles in Runanli are latte with that person, and Sanniang is her own, so it's nothing to recommend it to her.

   Moreover, Ji Yuan should know something, even if he doesn't introduce it here, Ji Yuan will touch it there one day.

   Zhao Ming looked at Zhao Hanzhang, who was happy, and determined that she was Xiangzhuang dancing swords for Peigong, what Bingzhou, what Liu Kun, but it was just an excuse.

   Seeing that his father was still stupid and didn't know anything, and wanted to help her continue to find a way to contact Liu Kun, Zhao Ming couldn't help shaking his head, walked to the side and sat down and waited.

   Zhao Hanzhang enthusiastically stayed the fifth uncle for dinner, and said that he still had gifts for them.

  Ting He came up with two boxes, Zhao Hanzhang opened the largest one and pushed it to Zhao Ming, "Uncle, this is a gift from me, do you like it?"

   Can the person who receives the gift say they don't like it?

   Especially in front of his father, you have to hold back if you don't like it.

   Zhao Ming lowered his eyes and glanced at it, then froze.

   Zhao Hao has already dragged the box over and took out the glass cup inside to see, "This is... Liuli?"

   This is a set of blue-colored glass cups, and there is a small glass pot in the middle of the box, which is clear and bright, but with a touch of blue.

  The sun seemed to shine on the table through the body of the pot, and even the table was stained with that azure.

  Rao is that a picky person like Zhao Ming can't say anything dissatisfied.

   Zhao Song finished reading this set of colored glasses and carefully placed it in front of him, "How can such a precious thing be given away? You keep it, even if you don't need it in the future, it's good to leave it to Erlang."

   admired in his heart, his eldest brother is worthy of his eldest brother, such good things can be collected.

   However, didn't Sanniang and the others lose all their luggage?

   How did such a fragile baby survive?

   Zhao Hanzhang pushed up another slightly smaller box and said with a smile, "Five Uncles, this is for you."

   Zhao Song opened it, and when he saw the glittering glazed horse lying in the box, his face slowly turned serious.

  The glass cup is not a problem, it is indeed his elder brother's style, but how could his elder brother collect such a valuable thing that can only be seen but not practical?

   Zhao Hao looked at Zhao Hanzhang, "Sanniang, where did you get these two things?"

   It won't be long before the news of Shangcai Tianzhuang selling Liuli will spread, and Xiping will definitely know about it.

   Zhao Hanzhang raised his chin slightly and said, "Five Uncles, these are all refined by us."

   Zhao Hao: "What did you say?"

   See you at eleven
