Da Wei Chun

Chapter 104
"I'm sending someone to find you!"

Seeing Li Chengzhi, Guo Cunxin welcomed him in with a happy face.

But Li Chengzhi always felt that his uncle's eyes were a little weird.

After the two sat down, Guo Cunxin sent Li Xian to guard the door, took out another object from his arms, put it in front of Li Chengzhi, and asked in surprise: "Is this object made by the craftsman according to the smelting method you taught? "

Li Chengzhi took a closer look, and it turned out to be a token.

He just issued an order a few days ago: When sending orders in the army, or entering or leaving camps or city gates, regardless of the official position, one must carry the letter.

It is this brass token.

Taking a closer look, there was a gap sawed on the token. It was obvious that Guo Cunxin wanted to know if the inside of this thing was the same as the outside...

Li Chengzhi could roughly guess what he wanted to ask.

I want to say no, but what if Guo Cunxin chases after him to find a coppersmith?
Those few were the ones who passed the gold for Tie Buddha...

"That's right!" Li Chengzhi replied hesitantly, thinking about how to fool around.

Seeing his eyes turn sharply, Guo Cunxin heheed, and leaned back slowly: "Don't try to be perfunctory to me, just say what you can, and I don't go into it if you can't say it... I'm just curious, why is this copper color so bright? ? If it wasn’t too hard, I almost thought it was real gold?”

Why else, if zinc is added, it will naturally become brass.

Not to mention the ancient times, even the modern times, someone will be tricked at every turn, and gold and brass are foolishly unclear.

Li Chengzhi squirmed his lips: "I added something to it, and wrapped a layer of copper on the outside, so it looks bright..."

It's not that he doesn't want to talk about it, it's just that the method is too simple, and he can understand it as soon as he hears it: add some calamine and smelt it with copper, that's what it is.

The main reason is that calamine is too common. This thing can cure trauma, carbuncle, relieve pain and itching, and has some anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, it is widely distributed, so as long as it is a doctor or pharmacy, it has this thing .

One catty of pure copper plus one catty of calamine can get one and a half catties of brass, which is lower than the cost of smelting bronze with lead and tin.

Another reason is that the zinc copper after heat transfer is not easy to rust, so it should not be too perfect for making money...

So don't say it's my uncle, even my father!

Guo Cunxin laughed directly, and after laughing for a long time, he gave Li Chengzhi a meaningful look: "Okay, then I won't ask about this!"

As he said that, he reached under the table, took out another object, and put it on the table with a "boom", as if it was very difficult.

It's a pair of cloth armor, weighing nearly twenty catties, can it be easy?
Li Chengzhi's eyes changed slightly: Where did Guo Cunxin get it?

Seeing that there were still spots of blood on A's body, he immediately understood: Of the 70 soldiers that Li Bai led at night when he left the city, [-] of them were Li's Ding soldiers in armor. After that, only twelve sets of armor were returned.

Later, six copies were recovered from Suo Siwen's and Jiang Rang's private treasuries, but three or four copies were missing.

Li Chengzhi suspected that it should have been stolen by the county soldiers who were out of the city to meet him at that time.

Looks like this is one of those...

"What about this one?" Guo Cunxin pointed at his fingernails, and looked at him with burning eyes, "It's your father's fish-scale armor, even the armor leaf is not as strong as this armor..."

Li Chengzhi sighed secretly, and said helplessly: "What do you want to ask, uncle?"

It turned out that the bronze medal was just a cover. What Guo Cunxin really wanted to ask was this?
Push it to the blacksmith?

This is not Hu Baozong, and emotionally speaking, there is no need to deliberately fool him.

Just leave it alone...

"I said it's no wonder Li Song and others respect you like a god and obey you? It turns out that you not only know how to train soldiers, but also metallurgy and armor..."

Seeing that Li Chengzhi admitted it indirectly, Guo Cunxin took a deep breath, and Li Qi, Li Shiliang, and Li Shixian father and son suddenly appeared in his mind, once they talked about the imperial court, they kept secret and secretly hated...

After hesitating for a long time, he said, "You are so wise, like a gift from heaven, do you not understand that the time has not yet come?"

Li Chengzhi was taken aback when he heard this, and was a little dumbfounded.

"Uncle Mingjian, I never thought of rebelling!"

Hearing what he said so straightforwardly, Guo Cunxin immediately believed it a little bit, and pondered: "If it's your father, would your uncle persuade you?"

Li Chengzhi chuckled: "It's useless to persuade anyone!"

If you don't even have such a point of view, what kind of time traveler?
Is it possible to tell them about the direction of history?

Seeing that Li Chengzhi's eyes were firm and not fake, Guo Cunxin heaved a sigh of relief, and nodded in relief: "It's good that you have a sense of proportion...then I won't ask about this..."

Li Chengzhi's heart moved: Although my uncle is curious, he is not generally considerate and sensible. It would be great if cheap daddy also has this wisdom...

Feeling emotional in my heart, I heard Guo Cunxin talk about the business again: "According to your entrustment, I have invited all the masters of the Fourteen Forts in the past few days. It is indeed as you expected, the fourteen families have already communicated with each other, but not bad thing...

They all said: whether it is armor or soldiers, they can lend you, and they can even lend you war horses.But only a little..."

Guo Cunxin pointed to the armor on the table, "It doesn't matter whether the person survives, but afterward, the horse must be repaid in full, and all the armor lent out must be replaced with this one..."

Li Chengzhi was overjoyed at first: Sure enough, Guo Cunxin took the lead, and the result immediately changed from bad to good. How could there be such a good thing?
The armor of this era is a mixture of raw and cooked. In order to increase the strength, it can only be increased in weight. The armor leaf is not twice as thick as that made of this kind of fine steel, and each piece is at least forty catties.

Take it back and practice it casually, and you will be able to forge a half...

But in terms of strength, it is more than doubled?
The blacksmiths of the Li family are getting more and more experienced. Without knowing the principle, they can smelt eight out of ten furnaces of charcoal steel, and even know how to temper when forging leaves...

The armor forged in this way has extremely high hardness, strong toughness, and is extremely light, and its comprehensive performance is almost perfect...

This is why these big clans are so generous.

But Li Chengzhi became vigilant again.

No wonder Hu Baozong was unlucky at the beginning of his career. It turned out that these big clans were playing hard to get, and they were waiting here?
"How did these people know that my Li family can forge this kind of armor?"

"What else can I do? Two glasses of wine and a few sweet words came out of Hu Baozong's mouth..."

Guo Cunxin sighed again: "It's not that he talks too much, it's just that he is eager to help you, and he doesn't think it's a secret, so he said it... I still guessed a little from the abnormality of Li Song and others..."

Li Chengzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not leaked by insiders, it's fine.

It seems that what Guo Cunxin said is true. In the future, any secret affairs will be handled by his own people.

At least know what to say and what not to say.

"Then change it, but this armor is more difficult to forge, there are only a few pairs a day, so we can only take it slowly..."

Li Chengzhi flustered, and then murmured, "One more thing, once Baoding enters the camp, he will be controlled by me, and no one has the right to transfer..."

"Naturally!" Guo Cunxin replied with a smile, "All the dock masters say that as long as you are willing to change your armor, it doesn't matter if you give it to you..."

Li Chengzhi's heart jumped wildly: "Really?"
