I am Da Song

Chapter 252 I am not targeting anyone, Da Song, I mean everyone here is hot chicken

Zhao Huan took out a black long knife from the wooden box and pulled out the blade. The cold light was reflected immediately. The blade was long and only slightly curved. The sharp blade of the blade can see the degree of its deadly threat.

Zhao Huan couldn't see any difference between this knife and other Dongying knives except that the arc was not so big and the length was longer.

Zhao Huan then waved it, and the flash of cold light seemed to illuminate the whole room.

There is no doubt about the lethality of this knife, as for whether it can break armor.Zhao Huan has never seen any country's army use swords to break armor.To deal with heavy infantry, what really breaks armor are spears, big axes, war hammers, and steel rods.But equipped with these, soldiers also have to carry a waist knife.

After all, it is impossible for all enemy troops to wear heavy armor. When encountering an enemy army without heavy armor, the effect of this sharp waist knife will be displayed immediately.

Using this saves effort compared to using a big axe.A thousand officers and soldiers broke through tens of thousands of mobs, and it is obvious that soldiers are needed to be unrivaled.

The Han Dynasty had the Huan Shou Dao, the Tang Dynasty had the Heng Dao, and the Ming Dynasty had the Yan Ling Dao, but the Song Dynasty did not have any famous sabers.

Tokyo's ability to forge this kind of long sword just made up for the shortage in the army.

Zhao Huan handed the saber to Wu Ge, and turned to Li Feng, the director of Dingfengzhai, and said, "How many sabers are there? I want them all."

Li Feng took a deep breath, this is a famous sword!Each one is the treasure of the town shop!
But the other party didn't even ask the price, just like buying a kitchen knife.

This Mr. Zhao's foundation may be even higher than expected.

Li Feng hurriedly said respectfully: "Young Master Zhao, there are only sixteen such special long knives in Dingfengzhai, and each one is priced at one thousand guan."

The armor of a stepman armor is only 38, that is, 32 guan. After the assembly line production in the North and South workshops, the cost has been reduced to [-] guan.

The price of sixteen long knives is [-] guan, which can make a total of [-] sets of heavy armor.

Eighty thousand coins is just a drop in the bucket to Zhao Huan, and he won't even blink.

But this was equivalent to [-] sets of heavy armor, which made him very concerned.

Asked: "Hundred gold is introduced into good hands, and admiration can ward off evil spirits. According to the poem, the price of a hundred gold is not expensive. But you said that this knife was forged in Tokyo, so it should be slightly different from Dongying knife. Now The price is the same, what's the difference?"

Li Feng immediately explained: "I want Mr. Zhao to know that the forging method of Dongying knife, as long as you learn it, there is no difference between Tokyo craftsmen and Dongying craftsmen. And the craftsman Uesugi who forged this knife is my Dingfengzhai high price in Dongying. The hired sword master, his forging school came from the Hoki country. The famous sword boy cut Yasuna forged by this school in this era is the pinnacle of Dongying knife."

Zhao Huan nodded. He had really heard of this knife. The national treasure of Dongying in later generations did not expect that it belonged to this era.

"Since the craftsmanship is the same, what is the difference with Dongying knives?"

Li Feng said: "The steelmaking materials are different. The Dongying sword forging method uses the local method of steelmaking, that is, low-temperature steelmaking. This is a steelmaking method that burns charcoal and iron ore together. The temperature of charcoal cannot melt the iron ore." , so it is solid-state smelting. The key lies in the difference in the use of charcoal, keeping the temperature relatively constant and not too high. As for which charcoal to use, please ask Mr. Zhao Haihan, this is my Dingfengzhai secret."

"This method seems primitive, but compared with the high-temperature steelmaking method of our dynasty, it can produce high-quality steel. However, the steel produced at high temperature is softer and easy to shape, while the steel produced at low temperature is harder and easier to produce. Difficult to build."

"It can be said that making Dongying knives is a labor-intensive operation, and the quality is paid for by blood and sweat. Therefore, the price of knives is expensive."

Manpower-intensive handicraft industry.

Zhao Huan understood it, no wonder Dingfengzhai was able to pull out the Dongying knife.Everything is a wave before the torrent of industrialization.

This kind of manpower-intensive handicraft industry is exactly the industrial stage that the current imperial capital is in.

Whether it is textile and clothing, ceramics, smelting and forging, it is an industry that requires a large number of craftsmen to invest in.

Although this kind of primary industry does not seem to be particularly tall, Zhao Huan has no thought of looking down upon it.

Because even this kind of large-scale primary handicraft industry can harvest a steady stream of wealth.

After the agricultural level of the Great Song Dynasty was sufficient to ensure sufficient food in Tokyo, the imperial capital city continuously produced various industrial products every year, and the wealth harvested from all directions was also a crushing harvest effect for the agricultural country.

This is why the foreign trade products of Tokyo City are mainly bows and swords, clothing and various porcelain, jade, and living utensils.

And as long as the agricultural output is stable, the industry continuously generates wealth, and the business harvests batches abroad, then the overall wealth of the Song Dynasty will continue to increase, and the level of civilization will continue to improve in an orderly manner.

Until there is enough accumulation in a certain direction, once a breakthrough is achieved, it is the so-called industrial revolution.

If you want to realize this industrial process, you must maintain long-term stability and accumulate slowly.Either launch a crushing war and reap the wealth of the enemy country.

And it must be a crushing war. If you are dragged into the quagmire of war, it will only waste wealth.

Therefore, it is very necessary to improve the combat power of the army. Zhao Huan asked, "I heard that Dingfengzhai has the background of the third military supervisor?"

Li Feng said: "Thanks to the kindness of the official family, after the weapons produced by the Third Supervisor of Military Weapons meet the needs of the army, in addition to armor and flags, they can also be sold to the people to make money for the country. Therefore, Dingfengzhai is indeed related to the Third Supervisor of Military Weapons. With cooperation, all weapons are of military quality."

Zhao Huan nodded with a faint smile. Although Li Feng kept secrets, as long as he was confirmed to have the background of the third military supervisor, then the rest would be nothing to the Emperor of Song Dynasty.As long as you go back and issue an edict and ask, you will know which family's background it is.

In terms of manpower intensity, no one in the world can compare with Zhao Huan.

It's not aimed at anyone, Zhao Huan just wants to say that everyone here is hot chicken.

Da Song, with a population of hundreds of millions, inherently possesses unparalleled advantages in terms of industrial production capacity.

Zhao Huan asked: "Did the craftsmen who improved the Dongying knife forging technique into the local forging technique go to the government to receive rewards? Our dynasty has rewarded technological innovation, invention and creation since the establishment of the dynasty. Among them, medicine, astronomy, engineering construction, weapon manufacturing, etc. The practical area has been the focus."

Before Li Feng could answer, a beautiful woman with curly hair and different pupils in a bright yellow exotic costume rushed into Dingfeng Zhai aggressively, with one hand on her hip, and the other pointing at Fan Sizhong, she shouted: "Fan Zimo, are you still a man? Treat me alone!" Weak women hide and hide, hiding their heads and showing their tails all day long."

Her rushing momentum instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and several tall guards immediately put their sheathed knives on their waists to stop her from moving forward.
