In the hardware store next to it, Chao Gai bought several sets of hammers, iron cutting boards, iron tongs, good coke, etc.

Chao Xiong was also a little confused. Although the Chao family has not been doing private iron business for a day, I have never seen Chao Gai make a mistake?

"Brother, you know how to make irons? What do you do if you buy irons?"

"Yes, it's okay to hit a hoe. Besides, aren't there blacksmiths in our village?"

Chao Xiong suddenly realized that the Chao family had thousands of acres of fertile land, how many could they planted by themselves?

Isn’t it enough to hire someone?

Liu Tang scratched his head: "If my brother knows how to fight, create a good Park knife for me."

The group of three people drove the carriage back to Chaojiazhuang without delay.

In the backyard of Chao Mansion, more than 20 people were practicing martial arts.

The black iron bull Li Kui was showing off his flying axe skills. He put a big tree root on the short wall ten feet away. Li Kui rotated the flying axe and flew over it, hitting the tree root, with a hit rate of almost 100%.

Liu Tang and Li Kui had similar stinky tastes and started chatting as soon as they met.

Chao Gai greeted everyone and gathered: "You twenty-two people will be the guards of our Chaojiazhuang in the future. Captain Liu Tang and deputy captain Li Kui. After a while, the tailor and cobbler will come to tailor everyone's clothes and make some leather armor, clothing, and boots. Liu Tang and Li Kui, you both go to take a shower and tidy up your hair and beard. If you go out like this, you will be arrested by the constable if you can't walk five miles away."

Liu Tang and Li Kui laughed: "Hahaha, no wonder I used to be so easy to recruit constables. It turned out that my hair and beard were not taken care of."

Chao Xiong next to him asked, "What about me, am I also an escort?"

"Brothers are still in charge of the caravan. In the future, our business in the village will expand ten or even a hundred times. Brothers will suffer more in the future."

Chao Xiong was excited when he heard this, and came over to give Liu Tang and Li Kui a deep gift: "Two brothers, teach me more martial arts in the future."

Li Kui pulled Chao Xiong over and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say. All martial arts are achieved. If you are not afraid of being hurt, let's start now."

Chao Xiong suffered, Li Kui was too angry, with thick skin and thick flesh, and had strong ability to resist attacks. Moreover, he was born in a wild way in the world, so he turned into a strange move when fighting.

At this time, the tailor and cobbler came over, called Chao Xing, who did a good job in needlework and worked happily.

"Borrower, I wonder what you want to do?"

"The black suit is equipped with a cowhide belt around the waist. Each person has a cowhide vest that can protect against swords."

"Okay, but this leather vest is relatively simple and does not serve as shoulder pads, so the government will not pick on it."

Leather armor is also armor, and the government will also cause some trouble if it is a reason. Even Chao Gai is unwilling to cause trouble, so it can only be said that buffalo leather is made of a simple vest.

"That's so good, you thought very carefully."

After Chao Xing measured the size, he took the fabric and cowhide and went back. After a while, another shoemaker came to measure his feet with a ruler.

Li Kui's eyebrows were bent with joy: "Brother, you are so nice to me. I remember when I was a child, I went to the market and I fell in love with a pair of shoes, but my mother just couldn't bear to buy it for me. I thought it was my mother who was stingy, but later I found out that she really had no money and often saw her mother wiping her tears secretly."

Chao Gai came over and touched Li Kui's big head: "Okay, everything in the past has passed. I will follow my brother to eat delicious food and drink spicy food. When I settle down, I will take my mother over and live a good life."

"Okay, Tie Niu listens to his brother."

Tears dripped from the corner of Tie Niu's eyes, and he remembered the sad past. He lost his father in his early years. It was his mother who raised him and his brother Li Da. When he was a child, he most hoped that a father would beat him up.

Liu Tang smiled and said, "You still have a mother and a family. I have been wandering alone in the world for many years."

"Brothers, don't be sad. This is home from now on. I will be your elder brother, and my mother will be your mother. My father will be your father."

"Okay, thank you brother."

However, Chao Gai's father got a son when he was old. He was over 70 years old and was over 50 years old. He ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddha's name every day without asking any questions. Now Chao Gai takes the lead.

The cowhide fast boots are still filled with cashmere. Chao Gai is willing to spend money and wants the best one.

Only the same is true, the training is extremely harsh.

People are injured almost every day, and dozens of men are tortured by Li Kui and Liu Tang.

Chao Gai purchased three sets of equipment for the blacksmith furnace, and called several close confidant Zhuang Dian to help, and settled in the back house.

As for the Jingtie Chao family, there are ready-made ones, and there are many.

The Chao family has its own blacksmith shop, with more than ten blacksmiths and apprentices. The leader is Liu Xin, who is a blacksmith who escaped from famine.

Both farm tools and sabers can be used very well. The three blacksmith furnaces arranged by the Hou House are for the purpose of building weapons.

The Song Dynasty government was quite open-minded. In addition to armor, bows and crossbows, Pu swords, hunting forks, daggers, waist knives, and short knives can be used. Especially Pu swords, the people are very well-retained. Who wouldn't mention Pu swords defending themselves when walking around the world?

I set up the stove and set up the anvil. Everything was ready. It was already very late at night. Everyone went back to rest.

The next morning, Chao Gai had just gotten up, and Chao Zhuang came: "There are many more things in the blacksmith shop in the back house, so go and have a look."

"Oh, no surprise, that was arranged by me."

It turned out to be the reward for building a blacksmith shop last night.

But Chao Gai really didn't know what the reward was. When he came to the blacksmith shop, he found a lot of things piled up on the open space, one hundred iron pieces, one piece weighing five kilograms, two hundred seamless steel pipes, with an inner diameter of fifteen millimeters, each three meters long.

There are a little less stuff, but they are all good things.

"Send the steel pipe to the secret room, and then call Liu Xin."

Chao Zhuang called a few people to do it together and quickly stored the steel pipe.

After a while, Liu Xin came. As a senior blacksmith, he could see the iron piled up on the ground at a glance.

"Master, call me."

"Come and see, these fine irons on the ground are suitable for creating some waist knives?"

Liu Xin picked it up and saw that his hands began to tremble. Of course, this was not a cerebral thrombosis, he was excited.

"This is the snowflake iron of Dashi, which is priceless. It is impossible to buy just one piece without a few hundred guan. The forged swords are extremely sharp, and they are cut into gold and jade, and they are all rare treasures."

Chao Gai was very happy, but he didn't expect that he was still this treasure, which was quite good.

"First create four carry-on waist knives, I'll draw a sketch for you."

Chao Gai found paper and pen and drew it briefly. The blade was three feet long and the handle was eight inches long. Song ruler was relatively short, so the whole knife looked very delicate and was not conspicuous when I carried it.

It is better because it is compact and easy to carry, and it is also OK to hang it around the waist as a decoration.
