I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 327 Jinling Blacksmith Shop

The morning of the second day came as usual, but the mood of the boatman today was not so good. A large number of goods on the deck were inexplicably scattered, and some suffered losses, but after careful inspection, it was unknown who did it. In the end, it can only be blamed on the patronage of the sea monster last night.

The villagers in the fishing village were also a little surprised this morning. First, they seemed to have slept very soundly last night. Then, the beach not far away looked a little messy today. The villagers naturally blamed it on the sea monster.

Song Mu helped clean up the battlefield last night. Standing on the boat at this moment, looking at a slightly bulging soil lump under the shade somewhere on the edge of the beach in the distance, he let out a heavy breath.

Holding Shang Yuan's waist card in his hand, Song Mu looked towards the north at this moment.

The center of Qing Tianwei is in Jinling, this time, I have to go there no matter what.

What's more, about the demon sect and the barbarians, I was in Jinling, so I had to find a way to find out some things.

The cargo ship set sail and continued towards Jinling.

After experiencing yesterday's danger, Tao Fengming still seems to be calm and calm, but he has to throw a few shots every day, and then expresses his feelings and asks Song Mu to write a few articles.

Song Mu mostly stayed in the cabin, except for the necessary homework every day, it was the story he had always wanted to write before.

Drifting on the sea for another two days, at noon of the day, the boatman was already standing on the bow and shouting.

"Jinling is here, Jinling is here!"

The voice spread everywhere, and people in each cabin looked out, only to see a magnificent city standing on the land in the distance.

Even from this point of view, the city is extremely wide, almost occupying a large area of ​​land on one side of the Yangtze River.

Looking at it from a distance at this moment, one can see that Jinling City is shining brightly under the noon sun, like a majestic city.

"This Jinling is really big. It's amazing that my uncle's family lives in such a city."

"That's right, this is the second largest city in Luoyang, second only to Chang'an, and the largest city in Eastern Xinjiang. I heard that any business can make money."

A few people nearby were standing on the side of the ship, looking towards Jinling City in the distance, even Song Mu was slightly stunned at the moment, the big city of this era always gives people such a shocking feeling.

Maybe it's because what I see now is its complete appearance, instead of looking for heavy traces of history in a section of the city wall in the previous life.

The cargo ship circled back to the Yangtze River from the offshore, and now it was going upstream, carefully approaching the pier by the Yangtze River, and when it arrived here, one could see the spaciousness and prosperity of the city.

There are people everywhere, and all kinds of buildings are row upon row. Whether it is outside or inside the city, it is a thriving scene.

Song Mu was somewhat fascinated by such scenery. During this trip, even though he passed through various places, Song Mu also had a panoramic view of the scenery everywhere.

It seems that the end of the new year is approaching, and the wharf these days is particularly lively. Song Mu and the two were sent off the cargo ship by the ship owner with great gratitude, and the surrounding noises filled their eardrums.

The pier was extremely busy, Song Mu and Tao Fengming did not stop, boarded the carriage they brought together, and immediately walked straight towards the city.

This time, Tao Fengming did not sit in the carriage, but sat on the side of the carriage like Song Mu. It seemed that he knew a little bit about the city. At this moment, he also introduced the surrounding situation to Song Mu from time to time. Forget to tell Song Mu about this Jinling City.

"This Jinling can be regarded as a scenic spot. Throughout the ages, many celebrities have left their writings here. Now there is Xu Yun, a great Confucian, sitting in this big city. Maybe you can see his true face this time."

Hearing what Tao Fengming said, Song Mu nodded again and again. After all, as the capital of several dynasties in history, Jinling has the reputation of "the beautiful land in the south of the Yangtze River, the state of Jinling Kings".

In history, Li Bai, Liu Yuxi and others have traveled here and left hymns.

Among them, the ones that Song Mu remembers most clearly are Du Mu's "480 temples in the Southern Dynasty, how many buildings are in the mist and rain", and "Business girls don't know the hatred of subjugation, but they still sing flowers in the backyard across the river".

This is a city full of historical heritage, and it is also close to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which can be described as an important throat connecting the north and the south.

Tao Fengming talked eloquently all the way, and it seemed that he finally came to a familiar city, which made him open up the chatterbox immediately.

However, Song Mu also looked at Tao Fengming at the moment. If he remembered correctly, the camp of the Eastern Frontier Army should be near Jinling.

This was once considered a place where Tao Fengming had struggled.

It's just that Tao Fengming didn't show any different emotions at the moment. The carriage arrived at the gate of the city, and after checking their identities, they were able to enter the big city smoothly.

As always, the bustling scene, after all, belongs to the hinterland of the Wen Dynasty, with a population of one million, the prosperity is immeasurable.

Song and Mu wandered around the city for a while, then found a place to have lunch, and then Tao Fengming suddenly said that he would take Song Mu to find someone.

Song Mu thought he was going to visit some friends, but he didn't expect Tao Fengming to bring him directly to a street full of various shops.

What appeared in front of him was a blacksmith's shop.

At this moment, there were dense knocking sounds coming from the blacksmith's shop. Several thick men who were still shirtless in winter were standing in front of the stove, beating the fiery iron blocks rhythmically, dripping with sweat.

What surprised Song Mu the most was that outside the blacksmith's shop, there were several scholars who were also dressed as scholars, and they were looking inside at the moment.

One of the scholars stepped forward and was talking with a middle-aged man in the blacksmith's shop, but he was repeatedly invited outside by the other party.

"Mr. Zheng, my father really can't help you forge it. It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice."

"It's not a question of whether you will pay or not. Without materials, even if I try my best, Lao Tian, ​​I can't make it."

Saying this, the man surnamed Tian pushed Mr. Zheng out, and several other scholars immediately surrounded him. Hearing the pleadings of several people, the other party waved his hands again and again.

"Everyone. Although you have materials, they are just ordinary materials. My old man can't type them, and I can't accept them."

The man surnamed Tian raised his hands and said, at the moment the thick beard on his mouth was also shaking, but he smiled and said.

"If your family's farm needs some hoes, rakes and plows, I can give you a fair price."

Hearing these words, those few people lost their spirits immediately, and Mr. Zheng said quite angrily.

"Second Master Tian, ​​you should take over this matter. Let Tian Gong fight with me. My father is a secretary and joins the army. You can't afford it."

"Oh, if Mr. Zheng threatens me like that, then I, Tian Qianduan, will have something to say."

Hearing these words, Tian Qianduan threw the hammer in his hand to the opponent's feet, scared Mr. Zheng backed up two steps quickly, but saw Tian Qianduan blew on his beard again, and said unceremoniously.

"Young Master Zheng, please invite your family's recorder to join the army. I have never seen such a scene in Tian's iron shop. If he dares to do it, I guarantee that he will never find my Tian's forging soldiers in the future."

Hearing this, Mr. Zheng's expression was a little bit frustrated, and the few blacksmiths next to him were also laughing at the moment, looking at the weak Mr. Zheng and said.

"Mr. Zheng, the soldiers your master uses may all be fought by my uncle Tian. It's not good to be so presumptuous."

"That's right, you still want to open the shop? Who is my family's Tian Bo? He is the national craftsman who gave the plaque personally by His Majesty. Who in this city doesn't know it, and who doesn't respect it?"

"you!"

Mr. Zheng was out of breath, but everyone around him laughed. This guy felt ashamed for a moment, and immediately flung his sleeves away.

Song Mu had never seen such a scene before. Seeing a blacksmith shop with such a straight back and rejecting the request of the official's children like this, he looked at Tao Fengming in puzzlement, and Tao Fengming was smiling. explained.

"The Tian family iron shop has been in Jinling City for hundreds of years. Today's Mr. Tian, ​​Tian Bailian, has reached the level of a man. He can do ten civil servants a year, and all of them are Jinshi civil servants."

"How can you forge Jinshi Civil Soldiers?!"

Song Mu was startled suddenly.

And Tao Fengming had already nodded and walked up at this moment, and Song Mu quickly followed.
