When the two returned to the village, Yang Yinghan took the brocade box and went to Huang.

Zhang Zhunze turned around and came to Yang Ruifeng to inform him of his decision that he had agreed to Yu Nanti just now.

After listening to Zhang Zhun's narration, Yang Ruifeng said happily: "You don't need to send it to Jimo County, that's great. I will personally send five tufts of salt to see what's going on tomorrow."

Zhang Zhun said cautiously: "I asked Yin Fengyi to escort you. Remember to pay the money with one hand and the goods with the other. If there is any change, immediately detain the other party and take it back to Yangjiatun."

Yang Ruifeng nodded and said, "I know, I won't be deceived by him."

Zhang Zhun turned around and went to Yang Kaide to discuss other things.

Yang Kaide is very busy now, walking around the village with a cane, chatting with the villagers and boosting morale. Zhang Zhun finally found him and said straight to the point: "Uncle Yang, I want to secretly build a batch of weapons. I wonder if there are blacksmiths in our village?"

Yang Kaide smiled and said, "You asked the right person! There are a few blacksmiths in our village, and their skills are very good! It's just because they are too poor and have no money to buy raw materials, so they have to waste it! As long as there are raw materials, they will start work soon! I'll call them over now! What weapons do you want to build?"

Zhang Zhun said: "Triple-edged thorn."

I will give a brief explanation of the specifications, quantity, characteristics of the triangular spines.

After all, Yang Kaide was a military family and still had a little understanding of weapons. He said affirmatively: "There should be no problem, as long as you don't have a blade, there will be no problem. I'll call them over now and you can explain it in detail to them."

Zhang Zhun said: "Okay!"

Yang Kaide said again: "You concentrate on training the guard team. You will leave this chore to us old men! Even if I can't do it, there are enough staff in the village! No matter how urgent it is, it will not delay you!"

Immediately called the boy Yang Gansheng and asked him to invite a few fellow villagers.

In a short while, the villagers arrived, and some of them were known to Zhang Zhun, such as Yin Fengyi's old man Yin Gensheng, Zou Mingjia's old man Zou Huoming, and Li Jiaxi's uncle Li Fenglai. It turned out that the three of them were blacksmiths in Yangjiatun. The other few were friends and relatives of the three of them, and they had a very close relationship.

"Yulin, what do you want us to do? Just speak!"

Zou Mingjia's old man Zou Huoming is a very rough old man, with a messy head full of white hair and a loud voice, which is completely different from his son. Zou Mingjia's three brothers, one in the guard team, and two help to purify private salt. The life of the Zou family is much looser than before, and Zou Huoming's face also has a red glow.

"Yulin wants to ask you to create some common weapons for the escort."

Yang Kaide said straight to the point.

The three said that there was no problem in building weapons, but there was no raw material. In the past, their pig iron was bought from Maojiatun, and sometimes they even had to go to Fushan City to buy them. Now, due to war, pig iron, cooked iron, etc., they are all controlled. If you want to buy them, you can only buy them bit by bit. If you buy them in bulk, there will be no goods, and the other hand, it will easily attract the attention of those who are interested.

Li Fenglai also said: "The main reason is that there is no goods, unless you practice it yourself."

There are too many conditions for smelting iron by yourself, and Yangjiatun's current conditions are not yet able to do it. Therefore, the raw materials can only be based on buying them. Buy a little from each trough, buy a little from Fushancheng, and get together, which is basically enough. There are only 80 people in the guard team, so there are not many raw materials needed.

Zhang Zhun first gave the three people a detailed explanation of the triangular thorns that Zhang Zhun wanted to create. The triangular thorns that Zhang Zhun did not need very good quality steel. Generally, pig iron or cooked iron can meet the needs. If the materials are really insufficient, only the seized waist knives, steel knives, spears, etc. will be remelted.

All three of them said it was not difficult. Zhang Zhun's triangular thorn does not require a blade, but it is actually a special iron rod with a sharp top. The biggest difficulty is to open three blood grooves. However, these three blood grooves do not need to be very flat and smooth, anyway, there are only three concave grooves.

Yin Gensheng calculated briefly and said, "Yu Lin, each triangular thorn requires about five kilograms of cooked iron. The price of each kilogram of cooked iron is three cents of silver, and the raw materials for a triangular thorn cost one tael five cents of silver. One hundred thorns cost about one fifty taels of silver."

Zou Huoming suggested: "If you use pig iron, it will be much cheaper. Each kilogram of pig iron is only two cents of silver, and the total price is at most one hundred taels of silver. It is the quality is not as good as cooked iron and it is easy to break."

Li Fenglai further explained that pig iron is too hard and brittle, easy to break, and difficult to build, and there is no need to think about opening a blood groove. Crafted iron is softer and has high plasticity, so there is no problem with forging and opening a blood groove. Of course, it would be better if there is steel. Unfortunately, steel is hard to come by, and there may not be real steel in the entire Fushan Institute. The operation of steelmaking is still very cumbersome.

Zhang Zhun said: "Just use cooked iron."

After saying that, he took out the prepared silver and handed it to Yin Gensheng.

Yin Gensheng said happily: "It turns out that Yulin has prepared funds. There is no problem with this. I promise that in five days, I will hand over a hundred triangular thorns to your hands."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said, "Then I'll thank the three uncles."

The three of them immediately said goodbye and left.

Yin Gensheng immediately took people to Maojiatun to buy pig iron and charcoal. Zou Huoming took people to visit other towns and bought some iron materials. Li Fenglai took people to clean up their ironwork overnight and gathered them together so that work would start early tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, Yin Gensheng returned from Maojiatun with a batch of raw materials. At almost noon, Zou Huoming returned with a full load. Li Fenglai had already packed up all the tools and built an iron furnace on the spot, which was busy in an orderly manner.

The triangular thorns that Zhang Zhun needed did not require high technology. They were just a sharpened iron rod. It was not very difficult to forge cooked iron. With Zhang Zhun's guidance next to him, the sample came out quickly.

A black iron rod, with two fingers wide (3 cm) at the thickest part. One end is a thick grip, about four inches long (13 cm). The other end is pointed, about one foot and five inches long (50 cm). This is the most primitive triangular thorn.

To be honest, such an iron rod looks ugly and dark, but the quality is pretty good. When you hold it in your hand, it feels heavy and very sensible. In terms of penetration, it is much better than the triangular thorn made of oil tea wood. Zhang Zhun used dozens of layers of cotton for the experiment, and the effect was quite satisfactory. After all, this is an iron tool!

Zhang Zhun put forward some suggestions for improvement, and Yin Gensheng and others naturally accepted it humbly. After the improvement, the triangular thorns were fixed and mass-produced.

Soon, each member of the guard team was assigned a triangular thorn. Some members with relatively strong combat power even issued two. With real weapons, everyone was of course much more motivated when they started training.

Hongshitan has become a military training base with slogans constantly every day. Everyone in Yangjiatun knows that this is their patron saint, and that this is a military forbidden area and will not be approached easily.

While Yin Gensheng and others started working to forge triangular thorns, Yang Ruifeng personally sent five dans of salt to Zhaojiatun. Yin Fengyi brought twenty members of the guard team to escort. The mouse also sent people to pay close attention to the movements of the salt owl on the road. As a result, there were no accidents on the road, and the group came back in the afternoon.

Yu Nanti was indeed confident. In Zhaojiatun, a Zhao Laoba, who opened a salt warehouse there, bought fine salt from Yangjiatun. However, he did not collect any private salt from other places. It seemed that it was specially opened for fine salt from Yangjiatun.

Yang Ruifeng sent a total of five dans of fine salt, each dan was 100 kilograms, and the total weight was exactly 500 kilograms. According to 160 cents per kilogram, it was exactly 80 taels of silver. Zhao Laoba paid as much as possible, without arrears at all. The quality of the silver was also very sufficient. After the inspection of Yang Ruifeng and Yin Fengyi, it was confirmed that it was real silver.

This is good news for Yangjiatun. The road from Yangjiatun to Zhaojiatun is basically safe. When salt is released every day, ten team members can be arranged to escort them, and the team members have more time to receive training. If they encounter a robbery in the salt owl, they only need to send a scython to report the message. Within two hours, Zhang Zhun and others will be able to arrive at the scene. Even if the salt owl grabs private salt, he will not be able to escape Zhang Zhun's pursuit.

Basically, with the acquisition point of Zhaojiatun, there is no problem with Yangjiatun's sales of salt. What Yang Ruifeng needs to pay attention to is how to increase production and how to keep the secret. As long as this secret is kept, the money tree of salt will continue to generate huge profits. However, because of the huge profits, someone will definitely have the idea of ​​Yangjiatun.

In the busy life, life passes quickly, and in a blink of an eye it is the fourth day of the fourth month of the seventh year of Chongzhen.

That afternoon, the mouse rushed to Hongstone Beach and reported a message to Zhang Zhun.

“It’s coming just right!”

Zhang Zhun said coldly.

The members of the guard team heard it and couldn't help looking at each other.

Who is here?

Who made the captain so unhappy?

Brigadier General Zhang gathered and said in a deep voice: "According to the latest information, Black Panther brought more than 60 thugs to Yangjiatun!"

Hearing the name Black Panther, the guards were extremely angry.

During this period, they practiced assassination over and over again in order to eliminate this black panther! The imaginary enemy of many warriors is this black panther. Assassination 3,000 times a day is not a joke. The name Black Panther is simply integrated into the bloodline of the warriors.

Hao Linyong shouted first: "Kill him!"

Zhiyuan Yang raised his arms and shouted: "Kill him!"

The other team members also shouted: "Kill him!"

For a moment, the crowd was in a turbulent situation, even more violent than Wang Shixin's arrival in person.

"Everyone is quiet."

Zhang Zhun made gestures to calm the guards for the time being, and then summoned the officers to meet to study how to deal with the Black Panther.
