After the fifth day of junior high school, Zhao Danda came to Baixi village to find Su Miaomiao, saying that the magistrate had something to do with her.

He followed Zhao Danda to the back hall of Yamen. As soon as he came in, he saw Duan tianwu holding a piece of ore and checking it carefully.

"Miss Su, you are just in time. This is the ore that Blackbeard brought us to find." Duan tianwu said and handed the ore to Su Miaomiao.

"Miss Su, what kind of mineral is this? I've shown this ore to the blacksmiths in the county, but they don't know what kind of ore it is. It looks like gold mine, but if you look at it carefully, it's different from gold mine in color. " Duan tianwu frowned and continued: "this mineral was found on a mountain not far from the north of Wenxing county. Presumably the magistrate thought that the ore was a gold mine, so he was greedy for ink. He didn't report it to the government and asked someone to mine the ore secretly. Unexpectedly, later the magistrate found that the ore was not a gold mine, so he ordered someone to deal with part of the ore secretly“

Su Miaomiao holds the ore in her hand. The ore looks like the copper ore she has seen in the 21st century. Now most weapons in Dashun are made of iron. Su Miaomiao has paid attention to it before. It seems that she has never seen bronzes in the market. No wonder the blacksmiths don't recognize this kind of ore.

"Magistrate, if I guess correctly, this should be copper ore“ Compared with iron ore, copper mine is very rare. I'm afraid that this copper mine was first discovered in Tutou, Dashun Prefecture. No wonder Fengzhi County regarded copper mine as gold mine for a while. If we can make good use of this copper mine, we may be able to produce a number of excellent bronzes.

However, if these minerals are put into the hands of people who don't understand them, it's really useless.

"Magistrate, please send someone to take charge of the mine and report the discovery of copper mines in Wenxing county to the imperial court. These copper mines may be of great use in the future." If Su Miaomiao remembers correctly, when the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms, bronze weapons were used. The smelting method of iron was more complicated than that of copper. If he could master the smelting method of copper, he might be able to make bronze weapons harder than iron weapons, just like the Qin Dynasty.

At that time, once there is a breakthrough in the production of bronze weapons, Dashun's national strength will be further strengthened and developed. At that time, those small countries of foreign countries will not dare to make the idea of Dashun easily.

Su Miaomiao didn't know what was going on. Her feet came to the gate of shenxuying unconsciously.

Just when Yi Qing came out on patrol, he saw Su Miaomiao and quickly invited him in.

"Miss Su, if you don't come, I just want to find you." Yi Qing said, can't help but sigh.

”What happened“ When Yi Qing was almost executed by Bai Ziyan, he never looked so sad. It's hard for Su Miaomiao to imagine what he would be worried about?

"Miss Su, go and persuade Lord Bai." Yi Qing did not slow down and took Su Miaomiao to the direction of the martial arts arena.

Su Miaomiao follows Yi Qing to the martial arts arena. When he comes to the arena, he sees Bai Ziyan standing in the middle of the arena with a sword in his hand. Opposite him is a man with bare arms. Although the weather is cold now, the man is sweating. He also has a sword in his hand. It seems that he has practiced for a long time.

Looking at the swords in their hands carefully, there were more or less small gaps. Their swords collided again. The man opposite Bai Ziyan was suddenly knocked out. If he hadn't grasped a railing on the side of the martial arts arena in time, he would have fallen down a lot.

Yi Qing whispered in Su Miaomiao's ear: "Miss Su, please advise Lord Bai. Since last night, they have been fighting with each other till now. If they go on like this, how can they bear it“

"It's not hard enough, or not hard enough. How can we win a battle with this kind of sword?" The white son's speech pauses, once again grasps the sword in the hand, harshly scolds a way: "come again!"

"Bai Ziyan!" Su Miaomiao is distressed to see Bai Ziyan like this. She knows that Bai Ziyan is dedicated to the sake of Dashun, but the forging of weapons is not a matter of one day or two. The manufacture of any kind of weapons is not accomplished overnight, and it needs no first smelting and attempt.

Bai Ziyan looked back and saw Su Miaomiao. At that moment, his tiredness was swept away.

"Miaomiao, why are you here?" Bai Ziyan put his sword on the weapon rack and jumped down from the arena. In order to confirm the hardness of the weapon, from last night until now, the two swords had been collided for countless times, and there were big or small gaps. He just wanted to see the limit of the sword. He wanted to know that the war at the border lasted for several months, and that these swords were sent to the soldiers at the border, The weapons made from his hands must be harder so that the soldiers can kill the enemy on the battlefield without scruple.

Although Bai Ziyan tried to hide his tiredness, Su Miaomiao still noticed from his eyebrows. Bai Ziyan always works meticulously. No wonder he is so competitive.

Facing the gentleness in Bai Ziyan's eyes, Su Miaomiao said with a smile, "if I don't come, when will you practice“

As soon as Su Miaomiao's voice fell, Bai Ziyan took a fierce look at Yi Qing. His eyes were full of the meaning of settling accounts after autumn.

Just now, Yi Qing, who was worried, bowed her head in grievance: "Lord Bai, this is really not what I told you."

”Yes, you can take Miss Su to the warehouse. Wait for me there for a while. I'll change my clothes and come“ Bai Zi's words fell, and he took a pet look at Su Miaomiao before he left.

Su Miaomiao waited in the warehouse for a while. He was really bored. He looked up at the weapons on the shelf. These weapons were all made by Fu men, the teachers of shenforging camp. Moreover, only officers above general could use them. They all took a lot of effort of the forgers.

The cinnabar dagger that Bai Ziyan gave himself before is much harder than the weapons on the market. However, the weapons made in large quantities are not as good as those made separately. However, it is hard to avoid being too strict with the weapons made in large quantities.

Su Miaomiao holds a sword on the shelf in his hand. When he removes the scabbard, he can see the shadow of the sword shining on her. When he hears the sound of the warehouse door, Su Miaomiao puts down the sword and has two arms wrapped around her waist from behind.

"Don't move. Let me hold you for a moment." Bai Ziyan's voice is a little tired. In recent days, his state is like a tight string. He tells himself all the time that he must make harder weapons. In this way, he doesn't accept the emperor's kindness. However, he is confused by his attempts. Has the hardness of hard weapons really come to an end?
