Chapter 23 A good man should be matched with a horse and a sword
The horses are fed and drunk, so naturally people can't be idle.
Just right, the delicacies of Linjiang Restaurant and Liujia Laoguo.
It was also delivered to your door.
The two of them set up a table under the big locust tree.
It's hot in summer, but it's cool under the trees.
It’s so pleasant to chat!
Shen Linzi took a sip of the cold burning knife.
It doesn’t exceed 40 degrees, but it’s very spicy in the throat!
"Old Qi, can I have a bowl of bamboo leaf greens?"
Wu Qi glanced towards the stable.
"Scared, don't steal the wine from my brother!"
"Didn't you see? Its ears are twitching?"
"Believe it or not? If you touch its wine jar, it will definitely jump out and give you a few hooves?"
What the hell?
So cruel?
Then, I’d better forget it!
You just raised an old man.
One month, just drinking.
It will cost one or two taels of silver.
However, there is no good man who doesn't love horses.
Shen Lin sighed and said: "It's hard to find a good horse!"
"A few days ago, I captured a war horse at the Shen Family Collection. It's far worse than your Feidian brother!"
"The height at the shoulder is only 1.3 meters, right? Oh, if you're used to it, it looks like 4 feet 34."
"The horse dealer asked for eighty taels at the beginning, which scared me away on the spot!"
Wu Qiyi raised his neck and drank half of the bowl of wine.
"Hahaha, brother, you were cheated!"
"Anything with a shoulder height of more than four feet three is indeed considered a war horse. However, the horse dealer is not good at bullying you!"
"These war horses were smuggled over from the other side of the Huanglong River."
"The price you mentioned for the kind of appearance you mentioned is usually between fifteen and twenty taels of silver."
"Eighty taels? That's the selling price for shipping to Jiangnan!"
Shen Lin also knew that the power of the Great Zhou Dynasty was declining.
Hardly any good horses are produced now!
A hundred years ago, at the beginning of the founding of the country.
The horse-producing land in the north is the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun.
It was all taken over by the Liao people.
I still can’t get it back!
Originally, Xiongzhou was located in the northeast and close to the sea.
In the past, the imperial court ran many horse racing farms.
Taxation has become increasingly heavy in recent years.
Xiongzhou has experienced severe droughts for consecutive years.
The horse farmers could not survive and had no choice but to revolt.
Horse thieves in Xiongzhou territory.
Everyone knows that Dazhou is very cruel!
Therefore, if you want good horses now, you can only smuggle them from the Liao Kingdom.
"Old Qi, you have a wide range of people. If you encounter good horses in the future, leave a few for me."
"As long as the horse is good, the price doesn't matter!"
Wu Qi looked Shen Lin up and down with a strange smile.
"Brother Lin, I heard that you are a branch of the Shen family? You live in the mountain village on the other side of the Lushui River, right?"
"Life is not easy, how many good horses do you dare to raise?"
"Of course, a BMW like Feidian is something you can't find but can't find, let's not talk about it for now."
"As long as the shoulder height of a good horse reaches five feet, the price will be doubled several times, say one hundred taels of silver!"
Shen Lin touched the wine bowl with him.
Calm demeanor.
"Me, studying is really not that good. But if you want to do some strange skills and make a little money."
"Brother, I'm not bragging. I'm afraid not many people in this world can catch up with me."
General Wu Qi was doubtful.
He still felt that Shen Lin could dominate the world with just one poem in front of hundreds of great Confucians and scholars.
You should still read this book carefully.
But how do people choose?
That is Shen Lin's own matter.
Good friends, don’t force me to do anything!
"Okay, I'm familiar with horse dealers. I promise I won't let you suffer!"
"What a pity, Master Qi, I have a BMW now."
"As the number one hero in stability, he still needs a precious sword!"
“You can still buy a BMW, you just need to put some thought and effort into it!”
"But if you want to forge a precious sword, it depends on chance!"
"Maybe it will happen in a few years, maybe we will never encounter it in a lifetime!"
Shen Lin didn't know much about the iron-making industry in Da Zhou.
But he also noticed that the farm tools and other tools used in the village were all made of pig iron.
Wrought iron is available, but it is extremely expensive!
In fact, taking the standards of future generations as an example,
Wrought iron is refined from pig iron and can be considered a type of low carbon steel!
"Old Qi, show me your waist knife!"
Wu Qi was puzzled.
Still, he handed the waist knife, including its sheath, leaning against the root of the locust tree to Shen Lin.
"This is already the best waist knife made by the old blacksmith of Andingliang."
"It's much better than the standard weapons in the army that can't be refined even after ten refinements!"
Shen Lin "swiped" and pulled out the long knife with a black spine and a white edge.
With a flick of his finger, the sword made a dull sound.
"The knife is three feet long and weighs five kilograms and six cents!"
"There are signs of curling, Lao Qi, this is a good sword that was refined in less than thirty years? Is it at this level?"
Shen Lin held a sword in one hand.
I feel that the skills of knife makers in this era are really not that good.
The center of gravity is unstable!
Are you after the chopping effect?
Or should we pay attention to sharpness? Seal your throat when you see blood?
Shen Lin showed disdain and said coldly.
"Brother, I'm so disappointed!"
"Where's the Bailian one? Have you seen it?"
Wu Qiyi put his elbows on his hands and stared at Shen Lin opposite him like a monster.
When Shen Lin arrived, he was puzzled and wiped his face with his hands.
"What's wrong? I don't have any facial expressions?"
Wu Qi smiled bitterly.
"Brother, you are drunk."
"You are really in a state of being like a toad right now!"
Where should I wipe it?
A half pound of liquor with less than 40 degrees Celsius is enough to drink.
Brother, can I get drunk?
Isn't that a joke?
"I'm not kidding you, it's just a hundred refinements!"
"In Shen's eyes, anything above Bai Lian is not difficult."
"Okay, don't look like you don't know anything. In a few days, I will give you a sword!"
"No, no, forge two at once!"
"Your second uncle is a nice guy. I gave him the other one."
"Bang!"
Wu Qi punched the table.
The plates and bowls rattled loudly.
"This is true!"
"really!"
"A gentleman's word!"
"It's hard to chase the horse!"
Shen Lin waved his hand impatiently.
"Aren't they just two good knives? Why are you so excited?"
"Does it look like we have to make a blood alliance and form a sworn alliance with Jinlan?"
"Hey, stop it! Brother, I don't like that!"
"The most important thing about making friends is understanding. Form is not important."
"Come on, come on!"
Wu Qi saw that Shen Lin was confident and confident.
In the end, I buried that seed of doubt deep in my heart.
"bite!"
The two clinked the bowls and drank it all with great pride!
"Sure, not to mention above the Hundred Refinements, Brother Lin, you just need to get me two Hundred Refinements swords!"
"I...Seventh Master, I will give you two good horses, no, three!"
"It's hard to find something like Feidian. But one with a shoulder height of five feet, I'll definitely get it for you."
"Seventh Master, I will give it to you for free!"
That's a good feeling!
Shen Lin doesn't understand horses.
It’s great to have an expert like Wu Qi to help!
Two knives for three good horses?
Absolutely huge profits!
“Tuk-tuk-tuk!”
There's a knock on the door!
Wu Qi stood up and went to open the door.
"It's probably my second uncle who came here smelling of alcohol!"
"I have to tell him about the sword to make him happy."
