Chapter 366 New Weapons
Three days later, Xiao Ning and Xiao Lizi arrived in Lingnan.
Xie Ling went to greet them in person.
Xiao Ning was as handsome as ever, and Little Leo followed shyly behind him, fair and tender, wearing exquisite clothes, obviously well-fed.
Seeing that the two were doing well, Xie Ling was also happy, "Why did you come so soon? I thought it would take some time."
Xiao Ning chuckled, “Since you and Gu Wei are calling, Xiao Lizi and I will naturally travel day and night.
Even a swordsman like me who never leaves home has heard a little about Beijiang's affairs, but I never expected that the lord of Sinan is you and Gu Wei."
Xie Ling said: "The main reason I called you here this time is to deal with iron smelting and weapons..."
She paused and said, "You are a genius swordsmith. Would it be too much to ask you to make weapons for ordinary soldiers?"
Xiao Ning waved his hands quickly, "Just because you helped me save Little Li, it's worth my life. Secondly, I also have selfish motives."
He said seriously, "I am tired of being hunted by people from the underworld. I just want to be with Xiao Li in peace. Coming to Sinan, I can not only get your protection and live a stable life, but also realize my hobby of sword-making. Why not?"
Little Li spoke in a low voice, staring at Xie Ling with sparkling eyes, "I, I miss you too, Xie Ling. You are my only friend. I heard that women can also become officials here. I want to give it a try."
Xie Ling was relieved, "That's good. I was worried that you wouldn't want to."
As she spoke, she took out the collection of cold weapons she had prepared long ago.
She re-illustrated this book based on the one about the end of the world. She converted simplified Chinese characters into traditional Chinese characters, and also translated those difficult-to-understand terms into the common language of that dynasty.
Xiao Ning flipped through two pages, his eyes widened, his hands couldn't help but tremble, "You, this, you're giving it to me?"
Xie Ling nodded, "It has been prepared for you a long time ago. Sinan's weapons are now handed over to you. You only need to provide ideas and methods. Our workers are well-trained and will definitely be able to make what you want."
Xiao Ning took a deep breath.
"Okay! I will definitely fulfill your mission!"
Only he knew how precious this book was. It was enough to make swordsmen and generals all over the world go crazy and flock to it!
There are all kinds of weapon styles, all varied, and each one tests the maker's thinking. The forging techniques are also very challenging. This is much more interesting than sword forging!
Even though he didn't know Xie Ling at all, he would stay for the sake of this book!
Xiao Ning's eyes were burning. "Excuse me, is there any vacant yard? I am making weapons which is quite noisy, and I am afraid it will disturb Little Li."
Xie Ling thought he was really thoughtful and nodded, "Your accommodation has been arranged. As for the forge, I have also sent someone to build one. Come with me."
Seeing the dazzling array of weapons, tools, and the iron furnace in the middle, Xiao Ning's eyes were so moved that they could not be described as moved.
This forge was built specifically for him and is exactly the same as Yun Qin's.
After so long, Xie Ling still remembers what she looks like...
Xiao Ning's eyes were slightly red. He was always cold and indifferent, with only Little Leo and sword-refining in his heart.
But now, he also understood the feeling of dying for his friend.
Xiao Ning's chest felt hot, and thousands of words turned into one sentence.
"Thank you, I'll try my best."
Little Li understood him best, and felt a little warm in his heart. He took Xie Ling's arm and said with a smile: "Xie Ling, let's go. He must have a good look around here, so we won't disturb him."
Xiao Ning scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "When I forge weapons, I prefer to be alone."
"Wait." Xie Ling looked at Xiao Ning, "Do you know how to make the fireplace reach a high temperature? I want to refine glass in Lingnan, but the temperature is always not up to standard. I remember when you refined the Emei Thorn for me before, the temperature ignited the surrounding grass."
Xiao Ning's eyes lit up, "Glass? But it's the colored glaze of Xiyao Country. I've been researching it, but I can never find the right raw materials. Do you have a formula?"
Xie Ling nodded, "Yes, you also know about glass? Great, I'll take you to see it."
Several people rushed to the glass factory.
When you see the neatly planned and orderly rows of brick kilns and iron smelters...
Xiao Ning was shocked again.
The governance of Sinan is really great.
In the past few years, he traveled far and wide to many countries in search of Leo, but no country was as orderly as Sinan.
"There's a glass-burning fireplace in front."
Xiao Ning came back to his senses and saw the problem at a glance.
"This fireplace isn't sealed well enough, and the location isn't good either... Leave it to me, I'll fix it."
Xie Ling felt relieved and told him the raw materials of glass.
I heard that Xie Ling trusted me so much that she didn't even hide such a confidential formula from me.
Xiao Ning's heart was burning with anger, he wished he could go through fire and water for his friend, and he vowed to make a contribution to Sinan.
Within a few days, a piece of finished glass was delivered to Xie Ling.
Although the brightness is not as pure as modern ones, it is much more transparent and exquisite than Xiyaoguo's, and is more than enough to be used as a window.
Xie Ling was very satisfied and immediately removed the wooden windows of the study and installed glass ones.
The dazzling sunlight poured in, illuminating the study room and brightening people's mood.
Xie Ling thought about getting one for Gu Wei tomorrow.
Next are glass bowls, glass cups, glass basins, glass dolls, glass hair accessories…
While Lin Qianzhong was still here, Xie Ling asked the glass factory to hurry up and produce the product. If this thing were to enter the market, it would make more money than snow salt. It would be a huge profit!
Before long, the first batch of iron tools and stirrups were ready.
The weapons made by the world's number one swordsmith are naturally unparalleled in the world. They are top-notch in both appearance and practicality. As soon as they were placed in the military camp, they caused a sensation.
On the arena in the middle, nearly a hundred spears and swords were neatly placed. The tips of the swords were sharp, shining coldly in the sun.
The handle of the knife is engraved with the Sinan totem. It has a simple and dark shape, and exudes majesty in the sun.
The soldiers lined up to watch, their eyes red, their excitement beyond words, and there was a lot of noise.
Even the usually calm General Gu couldn't contain his excitement and they pushed each other to try it out.
Gu Wei also went to see it, his eyes were burning.
As a general, he naturally knows what is good and is also a person who loves weapons.
"This weapon can make a soldier even more powerful and double his combat effectiveness! Xiao Ning is really amazing!"
This is how Xie Ling arranged the ownership of the weapons.
Soldiers are subject to a reward and punishment points system, with one point being deducted for each violation of military regulations and one point being awarded for each meritorious service.
A competition is held every half month, and the top ten can choose their favorite weapons.
The soldiers originally thought that these weapons would be given to the Gu family generals first, but they didn't expect that they would be treated equally!
Now, all the soldiers rolled up.
There was no more lateness or early departure. People were all polite in the canteen queues. Even in the streets and alleys, more and more soldiers went to help the people.......
As for stirrups, they were only equipped for the best war horses.
There are very few war horses in Sinan.
The soldiers who can use war horses are the most superior among the Gu family generals.
They are all cavalrymen who can hold their own against ten thousand enemies.
After receiving new stirrups and new riding uniforms, all the soldiers smiled so hard that their mouths were stretched to the back of their heads.
If it weren't for the fact that Xie Ling was a woman, he would probably have picked her up and thrown her into the sky.
Xie Ling's goal is to equip all of Sinan's soldiers with weapons, light armor, and stirrups.
The battle with the rebels is only a matter of time.
At that time, all these soldiers will go to the front line to fight for Sinan.
Sinan has few soldiers, so in order to increase the chances of winning, they can only work hard on equipment.
Superior armor and weapons can help them suffer less damage.
Seeing the stirrups, Xie Ling realized that Sinan not only had few war horses, but also had no one to train them.
Not long ago, I bought a batch of horses from Canglan people, but without a horse trainer, no matter how good these horses are, they can only be considered inferior horses.
Not a good war horse.
A good war horse should be able to communicate with the soldiers' minds.
