Wei Yan has wanted a knife for a long time.

After defecting to Liu Bei, he never had any weapons. The Huanshou sword in the army was either too light or too brittle for him, and it was not durable at all.

In desperation, Wei Yan could only use a datewood spear as a comfort to himself.

Wei Shi had nothing to do with this.

The iron kiln he built has two purposes for making ironware, one is weapons and the other is agricultural tools.

Wei Yan wants a knife, it's nothing.

Just make an advertisement among Liu Bei's army.

When the iron kiln officially increases production, Wei Shi can make weapons better than the Han Dynasty standard Huanshou Dao.

With Wei Shi's permission, Wei Yan was so excited that he almost picked a general. When Mi Zhu and Mi Zhen left, he specifically asked the Mi brothers to tell Liu Bei that they would not return until they got a new sword.

Mi Zhu looked at Wei Yan who didn't look back, feeling a little alienated in his heart.

The advantage of this trip to Weishi Village is that I got a more advanced loom and saw the development of the pedal spinning wheel weaving mill. After I return, with the financial resources of the Mi family, I can build a larger loom than Yushu Bay.

workshops to achieve large-scale operations.

The bad thing is that Wei Shi changed his mind again and built brick kilns and iron kilns.

The bricks from the brick kiln are exactly what Xinye urgently needs to strengthen the city defense.

If the weapons in the iron kiln can really be forged, then Liu Beijun can purchase them and upgrade the weapons. This is much better than asking Liu Biao for charity.

Thinking of this, Mi Zhu fell in love with Wei Shi again.

"Brother, in front of the emperor's uncle, you must never mention Wei Shi's breach of oath and breach of contract for the sake of the villagers?" Mi Zhen saw Mi Zhu's thoughts and persuaded her on the way back.

"Why is this?" Mi Zhu asked in confusion.

Mi Zhen shook her head and said: "Wei Shi is not a simple person. If he is forced to be anxious, I am afraid he will not accept the emperor's favor. Moreover, my little sister thinks that he is good as a friend but as a subordinate."

, I’m afraid something will happen.”

Wei Shi's bones were steeped in the concept of equality for future generations. Although he was just a commoner, he was neither humble nor timid when interacting with Mi Zhen and others. Liu Bei probably couldn't persuade such a person.

"What the little sister said is true. This time when we went to Wei Shi's place, Wei Yan stayed, and Song Yuniang also stayed. She didn't know what was attractive about Wei Shi, but both of them went to his village to stay there.

Walk."

Mi Zhu was furious for a moment, with some dissatisfaction in her tone.

He could understand Song Yuniang staying. After all, Wei Shi and Han Qiuyun were kind to her.

But what does it mean for Wei Yan to stay?

Really just for a knife.

Still having other ideas, Mi Zhu didn't really trust this Nanyang native who had defected to Liu Bei not long ago.

When Wei Shi sent away the Mi brothers and sisters, a stone fell to the ground.

In any case, the crisis was resolved this time, and he could conduct normal transactions with Mi Zhu based on the output of the brick kiln and iron kiln.

Compared with Cai's plundering, the emperor's uncle Liu Bei wanted to save face and win the favor of the people of Jingzhou. At least during the new field period, the possibility of falling out was relatively small.

What made Wei Shi even more happy was that Huang Xu finally appeared slowly.

Although he was a few days late and looked very bad, at least he was here.

Without the oppression of women, Huang Xu's body should be able to recover as long as he takes good care of himself. Wei Shi has prepared a daily exercise package for him, allowing Huang Xu to enjoy it.

The next half month will be a busy time in Yushuwan Village.

At least in the eyes of Wei Yan and Huang Xu.

The steaming brick kilns, the red iron juice, and the shouts of the men in the village all make the village appear full of vitality.

With the addition of high temperature, the difficulty of iron juice exercise is greatly reduced. It is like a marathon long-distance running. After passing the point of physical limit, the rest will fall into place.

After Wei Shi demonstrated once, he handed over the strength work to Wang Laoliu. This act of trust moved Wang Laoliu to the point where he almost knelt down.

Blacksmithing is a skill.

In the Han Dynasty, family inheritance was kept private and foreign surnames were not passed down.

Wei Shi's current unreserved professor is, to Wang Laoliu, his mentor and reborn parent.

In order to express their gratitude, Wang Lao Niang, Wang Lao Liu, Sixth Sister-in-law, as well as the eldest son, second son, third son, and fourth son of the family, all came to the Wei family and insisted on kowtowing to Wei Shi and Han Qiuyun.

Erlang and Sanlang also took the initiative to change their surnames to Wei. According to Wang Laoliu, these two brats were Wei Shi's adopted sons. They thought that no matter how they were beaten or scolded, it had nothing to do with the Wang family.

A great family can lead to a great career.

Only when there are many people will we not be bullied.

Wang Laoliu sent his two sons to the Wei family, not only to consolidate their relationship, but also to strengthen the Wei family's family. With Erlang and Sanlang, if others want to take advantage of the women of the Wei family, they must first think about it.

Is the quantity sufficient?

The two boys didn't have any objections to this either.

The Wei family's family background is much better than that of the Wang family. Moreover, Wei Shi and Han Qiuyun are kind and unkind to their family members. This can be seen from Wei Xiao'e's current life.

Wei Shi tried every possible means to persuade him, but he still couldn't win over the Wang family, so he had no choice but to agree.

After thinking for a while, Wei Shi gave Erlang and Sanlang a word each. Erlang was called Wei Cheng and Sanlang was called Wei Gong. Together, they were the word "success".

With the addition of the Wang family and his son, the iron kiln's blacksmithing speed increased.

With his bare arms, Wang Laoliu kept taking the semi-soft iron block out of the blast furnace, and then together with Wang Laoliu, he grabbed the hammer and beat it non-stop. After exercising like this all night long, he was able to refining the iron a hundred times.

The long knife finally took shape.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

The red long knife was thrown into the cold water by Wei Shi. Only a sizzling sound could be heard in the water. A quarter of an hour later, Wei extended his neck, eager to grab the long knife.

"Don't touch it yet, it's still hot." Wei Shi saw Wei Yan trying to pick up the long knife and quickly reminded him.

Although it has been quenched and cooled, the temperature on the long knife has not yet completely cooled down. If you touch it with your hands, it may burn off a layer of skin if it sticks.

An hour later, the long knife, which had finally cooled down, was fished out of the water. It was completely black and shimmering with cold light.

Wei Yan fell in love with it the first time he saw it. He clenched his hands and couldn't put it down.

"Good knife! Thanks brother."

Wei Yan flicked the blade lightly with his fingers, and the long blade made a sharp clang, with a lingering sound that stopped after a few breaths.

"It's just a trivial matter, the editor doesn't need to worry about it." Wei Shi smiled and waved his hand towards Wei Yan.

It's worth it to win Wei Yan's favor with a knife.

In the past few days, Wei Yan told him many things about the Wei family in Nanyang. According to him, the main branch of the Wei family, now Yiyang Township in Nanyang County, is not far from Xinye.

Wei Shi's father, Wei Tiejiang, should also be from the Nanyang Wei family, but they later separated.

Wei Shi had no objection to Wei Yan's statement.

These days, it is better to have a clan to rely on than no clan at all.
