Chapter 95 Mail

"Why do Brother Wang hate Qin people so much?" Yan Chao dispersed and went to Ruoying Palace to ask questions. Xiong Jing, who lost his kingly demeanor, no longer had a hot face. Mi Xuan, the little girl, mentioned this embarrassing thing again.

"Are Qin people very good?" Xiong Jing asked back, and he couldn't make any noise about Mi Xuan, the little lolita.

"The Qin people are different from the Chu people?" Mi Xuan had never contacted ordinary common people except the slaves around him.

"Of course it's different. The Qin people were not bad, and they were often bullied by Jin people in the past, but after practicing the Shang legal person, they completely changed. The policy of complaining about traitors made the husband and wife, father and son, and brothers not trust each other. Everyone lives for profit, paying attention to utilitarianism in everything, without trust or righteousness, just like beasts. The Chu people were ignorant, respecting the heavens and fearing the gods, and the barbarian spirit had not yet disappeared. Some Yue people in the southern mountains even used the human flesh of foreigners as sacrifices, but the father and son were harmonious, and brothers were in a blind date, and they were happy.

People always have feelings when they live, such as the father's love, the kind mother's love for sewing clothes, the brothers' love, and the husband and wife's love. The Qin people are all utilitarian in everything. If they are rich, they will separate their families, and if they are poor, they will marry into their parents. They use their father's hoe to worry about their virtues and virtues; their mother takes a scoop and stands up and talks. I pity me more than one million people from Ying and Chu, and I don't know if they will still be Chu in the future...."

When talking about the old Ying Xiong Jing's brows, he frowned. What he was most worried about was that after the old Ying Chu people were ruled by the Qin State for more than 40 years, they lost the original simplicity of the Chu people and became as utilitarian as the Qin people.

"Xuan, I have a headache." Half true and half false, Xiong Jing leaned his head in Mi Xuan's arms. Mi Xuan was fourteen years old, and he was six feet and seven inches tall (152). Xiong Jing leaned in her arms so tall, with her head just under her chest, and she couldn't take advantage of it. But Mi Xuan was different from Chu's girl. She didn't have the usual smell of orchid, pepper and cinnamon, but a kind of flower fragrance that had never smelled before. The fragrance of flowers mixed with the faint fragrance of virginity. Every time her head swelled, she felt clear in her mind.

Whenever the king leaned into Mi Xuan's arms, the chief servant Jiang would bow his head and laugh. He had never seen the king lean his head into Princess Chang's arms, or leaned against other princesses' arms. This was supposed to be like the daughter of Hyun, but unfortunately the daughter of Hyun was still confused.

"I'll help you rub it." Mi Xuan's jade hand was pressed between Xiong Jing's eyebrows and rubbed it gently. He didn't care that Xiong Jing's hands were stroking back and forth between his waist and legs. The eyebrows were rubbed comfortably by the slightly warm fingers, and the unknown Huaxiang was also comfortable to smell it, so that Xiong Jing's hand touching Mi Xuan's thigh finally stopped and was about to fall asleep lazily.

"Big King, King, Ling Yin is here." Chang Jiang shouted inappropriately. Xiong Jing opened his eyes and felt that the whole world was green, and then gradually returned to white.

"I have met the king." Naojiu brought the boss Yindao and Ou Chou, holding iron wires in his hands, and this was to announce the good news.

"The wire was pulled out?" Xiong Jing snatched the wire from his hand and forgot to be interrupted and enjoyed it.

"I am doing my mission." Gong Yindao and Ou Chou said. Last time Xiong Jing focused on the iron wire, the two of them gathered the strength of the whole mansion and finally found a suitable steel-carbon ratio. They pulled it out while annealing.

"Great kindness!" With iron wire, you can make a chain mail. But Xiong Jing looked at the iron wire in his hand, "It's too thick. This one is OK." After saying that, he ordered Chang Jiang: "Go and find a log less than half an inch thick, and then find a pliers."

There are pliers in the bedroom, which is an ordinary tool. The logs less than half an inch are a bit difficult to find. Fortunately, there are trees in the palace, so I broke a branch. Soon, the long ginger came with the branches and pliers. Xiong Jing wrapped the iron wire tightly on the branches. After winding, the branches were pulled out. The iron wire had turned into a spiral spring. The iron wire was too thick and Xiong Jing couldn't cut it. Naoji volunteered to take over. In the end, the iron wire turned into small circles.

At this time, Xiong Jing went to the inner room and rummaged through the cabinets and finally brought a few pieces of wooden mattresses. The wooden mattresses were also drawn on the wooden mattresses. According to the wooden mattresses, eight rings were penetrated on a chopstick, and the next ring was covered with two rings. The eight rings were wrapped by four rings below, and the next row was covered with three rings above. The two rings in the middle were wrapped with three rings above, and the two rings on the side were wrapped with only one ring. In this way, four, three, four, three..., it soon formed a chain mail.

Of course, this is not a real chain mail. The real chain mail ring port must be riveted, otherwise it will be broken as soon as it is cut and pierced. Xiong Jing first took out a ring, pointed to the broken mouth and said, "The broken mouth must be flattened before riveting, otherwise the armor will not be done."

Everyone knows what riveting is, it is the most primitive fastening method. Ou Chou said: "I remember it."

"King, such a small ring still needs to be riveted?" Gong Yindao thought of the workload. He looked at Xiong Jing and had only a few dozen rings weaved such a little piece of armor. He still had to be riveted. How much manpower would it take?

"It's useless to not rivet, it's broken as soon as it is cut. Who dares to wear such armor?" Xiong Jing emphasized. "It's not difficult to weave armor. Riveting is a bit difficult, but as long as there are appropriate tools, women and children can also craft them when they are fine. At that time, each household will send dozens of kilograms of iron wire, and a set of riveting tools, and then teach them, and you will have nothing to do."

"Ah!" Gong Yindao didn't expect the solution to be like this.

"What? If the regulations are made, a woman must make a set of mail for her husband when she gets married. I see that the gangsters are female red..." As soon as she said she was a female red Xiong Jing looked at Mi Xuan. He asked her, "Is it difficult to make such a mail?"

The chain mail is just one ring and four rings. A few big men can weave it, and the little girls can weave it even more. Mi Xuan looked carefully and shook his head and said, "It's not difficult, as long as it can cut the wire."

"The wire is definitely not thicker. The thicker the armor, the heavier it is. If it is too heavy, the soldiers will not be able to penetrate it." Xiong Jing forgot how many tens of thousands of iron rings a piece of armor had. He didn't know how thick the wire was, but he had the most basic judgment. He asked Gong Yin Dao again: "Can a woman riveting do it?"

"Riveting, the rivets can be burned red with charcoal, but this..." Gong Yindao's eyes rolled, not knowing what was thinking in his mind.

"What's the difficulty of riveting? Go, burn charcoal fire, just riveting here." Ou Chou knew how to riveting. King Xiong Jing ordered him to go to Juti Mansion to get his tools. While waiting, several sections of iron wire had already burned red in the charcoal basin.

Before riveting, the wire must be flattened first, and after flattened, the rivet holes must be made. Because there are no such small rivets, Ou Chou can only do it himself, cut the thin wire first and finally make rivets. It is so troublesome to rivet a ring. Tens of thousands of rings of a piece of armor need to be riveted. Nao, who was originally full of hope, gradually disappointed. It is so complicated that not everyone in the Chu army can afford to wear it.

Xiong Jing was even more determined by his point of view. He picked up a riveted ring and said, "You all saw that the difficulty lies in making rivets of the right size. Riveting means burning red rivets to hit. Ju Tie Mansion just pull out the wire suitable for making armor, then pull out the wire suitable for making rivets, and finally create a pair of riveting tools suitable for pounding. Things are very simple. Where is Yu Yin? Tell Yu Yin, and then send a few of the best craftsmen."

The fabrication of chain mail is actually more like the work of the Yu Mansion. The construction of the mansion is not easy enough. The envoy left with his pride. A quarter of an hour later, Yu Yin came with the craftsmen. Xiong Jing asked Ou Chou to demonstrate how to rivet, and then asked: "I want the women of Chu to learn how to rivet like needles and threads. Is it feasible?"

Such a small ring riveting seemed to be a very meticulous task in the building of the palace, but it was very serious in Yu Yin. Yu Yin shook his head and said, "King, this is a huge iron, not jade. Besides, it is so crude..."

"Rough?" Ou Chou held up the big hammer, panting and dissatisfied.

"Report to the king, it's really crude, and this ring seems to have penetrated." The duck man's voice came again. He called him "The Sword" and his skills were the most outstanding in the Jade Mansion. As soon as he started the ring, he could see that the rivet hole had penetrated a few threads.

"King..." Ou Chou was so angry that he couldn't speak. He had heard of the people in the Yu Mansion who could engrave words on his hair.

"Okay." Xiong Jing had to express his words to comfort him. "The skill of meticulous craftsmanship is indeed the director of the Jade Mansion, and they can't even refine the giant iron forging swords. They have their own strengths, so why don't you like each other?"

"I am taught." These people in the Yu Mansion had never seen ironwork before. They were funny just now, and when they saw it, they still smiled in their hearts when they saw it with a rough and rude ring.

"I'll ask you, can ordinary women rivet joints?" Xiong Jing asked again.

"Report to the king, as long as you are taught properly, ordinary women can also rivet," Yu Yin turned around and looked at the craftsmen behind him. They all nodded. Rivets looked really crude when they were riveted. "But, Doctor Ou's equipment is too big and needs to be made smaller."

"Each woman has a set of utensils and must be used in a simple and simple way. Riveting is only for firmness, not for jewelry, and there is no need to be meticulously carved." Xiong Jing said his request and finally said: "Please leave this utensil to the Yu Mansion. In addition, you can quickly make a set of armor and let the Lingyin see."

"I respectfully accept the order." In the end, Yu Yin smiled so hard that he couldn't stop his hands from making things made by Ju Tie Mansion.

"King, it's the matter of this Juti Mansion." Ou Chou was honest and immediately dissatisfied.

"It's not about your Jitie Mansion, nor about your Yu Mansion, it's about one hundred thousand women in my Chu State. I asked the Yu Mansion to make armor to make perfect, and summarize a set of armor-molding methods to teach Chu women. Do you want to rob this matter?" Xiong Jing looked at Ou Chou.

"I understand." Ou Chou understood. The matter of making armor does not belong to Jutie Mansion, nor to Yu Mansion.

"King, teach Chu girl to weave armor. If other countries know about it..." Gong Yin Dao said, he had his worries.

"Does other countries know how to pull wires?" Xiong Jing asked back.

"That's right." Naojiu was also worried before, but he didn't worry about iron wire. "Who except for our Chu State, who knows to pull iron wire?"
