Fu Tingye was silent and explained to her: "Young Supervisor Wei is the supervisor of the weapons inspection. He is mainly responsible for supervising the progress and quality of weapons manufacturing. Under him is the chief bookkeeper, who is responsible for recording documents and arranging the lives of all craftsmen. and work, and then there are the supervisors of each branch camp. Liang Wensheng is the supervisor of the Gongnu Battalion and is in charge of the weapons production of the Gongnu Battalion."
Hua Qingxue nodded in understanding, thinking: He still hasn't explained why Young Inspector Wei came to me...
"Let him come in." Fu Tingye said.
The soldier who came to deliver the message had a troubled expression on his face, "General, Mr. Wei... I'm afraid it won't be convenient for him to come in now."
Fu Tingye frowned when he heard this and glanced at Hua Qingxue, "Let's go out and have a look."
The two of them left the camp one after the other.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, Wei Han was seen kneeling on the ground, his forehead close to the ground, and many dry thorns wrapped around his back.
What is this doing
Fu Tingye sneered in his heart, and it was a shame that the old man could do this.
Many people gathered around, looking curiously.
The soldier who delivered the message lowered his voice next to Fu Tingye and said: "Master Wei stood on the bush to apologize and walked around the camp specially. Everyone saw it..."
Wei Han stood up, looked at Fu Tingye and Hua Qingxue with burning eyes, knelt down deeply again, and shouted loudly: "I am ignorant! I have slighted Miss Hua, and I feel regretful in my heart! I beg the general to punish me!"
His movements of kneeling and bowing were so large that Hua Qingxue was a little frightened and couldn't help but shrink back behind Fu Tingye, "What is he doing..."
"I'm apologizing to you." Fu Tingye said lightly.
Hua Qingxue grabbed the corner of his clothes and said very nervously, "Aren't you a general? Let him get up quickly!"
For such an old man, what if something happens to his knees? It's so scary, don't blackmail me...
Fu Tingye certainly didn't want to see Wei Han continue to kneel down. He knew very well that Wei Han's move was just to restore his reputation.
At Wei Han's age, it can be said that he has half his foot in the coffin. This kind of person is not afraid of death and is not greedy for money. The only thing he cares about is his good reputation of not fearing the powerful and upright.
Taking such a big step to apologize to Hua Qingxue does not mean that he really feels guilty.
He just wanted the world to forget his previous rudeness and only remember the integrity he dared to bear at this moment.
Although Fu Tingye is a military commander, he has seen this kind of trick... too many times.
"Master Wei, please rise." Fu Tingye said, "Master Wei has served as the Young Superintendent of the Ordnance Supervisor. He has worked hard and achieved great results. Although there were many obstacles before, in the final analysis, it was for the Ordnance Supervisor. How can I punish you?"
"The lower official prevented Miss Hua from improving weapons for our Qi soldiers. This is an unpardonable crime! It's so stupid! I beg Miss Hua to forgive me, and I beg the general to punish me!" Wei Shaojian prostrated on the ground and shouted loudly, without any intention of getting up.
Fu Tingye felt a pair of small hands push quickly on his lower back.
He lowered his eyes and saw Hua Qingxue looking at him anxiously, with a soft voice: "Let him get up quickly..."
Hua Qingxue really couldn't bear such a big gift when an old man with gray hair and flowing beard knelt in front of her! As a modern person, she only finds it scary, okay
Fu Tingye was stabbed by her... and his bones were half relaxed. If it weren't for the wrong timing, he would have really had some wild ideas.
"Master Wei, please get up. Miss Hua has an innocent heart, is kind and pure, and has no intention of blaming her." Fu Tingye took this opportunity to praise Hua Qingxue, so that everyone could have a good impression of her, "Mr. Wei You are also a man of Qingfeng and high moral integrity. With you two as the example in the weapons inspection, our Qingzhou camp will be invincible!"
What Fu Tingye said is very simple and very skillful.
He directly compared Hua Qingxue and Wei Han, which was equivalent to raising Hua Qingxue's position in the weapons supervisor to the same level as Wei Han.
Anyone who is an official has a twisted intestine in his belly.
Wei Han, who was kneeling on the ground, naturally understood what Fu Tingye meant: You can forget about this matter, but it will depend on your performance in the future.
The situation was pressing. Young Superintendent Wei realized what was going on and said loudly: "The Ordnance Supervisor will definitely follow Miss Hua's lead in the future!"
After all, old man Wei is old. He has been sitting in this position for a long time, and it is inevitable that he will feel a little emotional: Don't you just want to praise her? Then I will hold her up, I will hold her up high for you and see if it hurts when she falls down in the future!
However, Fu Tingye didn't care about his petty emotions at all, and he didn't bother to know. As long as his purpose was achieved, Fu Tingye could be regarded as a very generous leader.
If it were anyone else, whose eighth-grade official would dare to confront the general? Are you tired of living? !
Wei Shaojian stood up with the help of several craftsmen. He was really old. He had knelt in the ice and snow for a while, and his knees were stiff. When he stood up, he almost fell down again.
"Master Wei, please take care of yourself." Fu Tingye said lightly.
"Thank you for your concern, General... Cough, cough, cough, cough!..." Wei Han said, suddenly coughing violently, "Xiaguan... cough, cough, cough, Xiaguan's health is fine, but I don't know when Miss Hua will start working for me. Ordnance Supervisor to improve weapons?"
Hua Qingxue looked at him nervously, fearing that he would cough up his lungs next moment. When Wei Han mentioned her, she immediately said: "I'll be there in a moment. Don't be anxious, old man. Go back and rest first. Now we There are enough materials, and the weapon improvements will be completed in a few days."
After the words fell, the whole place fell silent.
She said that in a few days... it will be over...
Liang Wensheng in the crowd was greatly relieved and thought to himself: You finally understand how I feel.
Hua Qingxue didn't know what she said wrong. She looked around blankly, and finally looked at Fu Tingye awkwardly and nervously, and asked, "Why... why aren't they talking?"
Fu Tingye's eyes were unusually gentle, "They are just too happy."
Hua Qingxue felt that what he said was wrong, but what exactly was wrong... She couldn't tell, so she could only cower behind Fu Tingye, trying to relieve her current embarrassment.
…
Wei Han was eventually helped away.
Fu Tingye sent Hua Qingxue back to the camp. She pulled him and asked, "Did I say the wrong thing just now? Don't lie to me."
"No." Fu Tingye raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Why do you think so?"
"Something doesn't feel right." Hua Qingxue thought about it seriously, "Especially the old man carrying firewood, his expression didn't look happy at all..."
"Carrying firewood? Old man?" Fu Tingye was stunned.
"That's right." Hua Qingxue looked at him with some confusion, "Didn't you say he was a young prisoner? They are all officials. Why is there no one to help him chop wood? Carrying such a big bundle Firewood…”
Fu Tingye suddenly laughed: "Hahahahahahahaha!!!..."
Hua Qingxue was confused and wanted to ask him why he was laughing, but the next moment she was hugged by a bear!
The thick beard pierced directly to the top of her head!
Hua Qingxue was so painful that she wanted to cry: "Well..."
But Fu Tingye seemed to like her very much and even rubbed her hard!
- Big bear, go away! If you keep rubbing it, you will see blood!
…
Hua Qingxue settled in the military camp.
With Liu Tiejiang in front of her, others did not dare to look down upon her. Everyone was respectful to her and did not dare to look down upon her in the slightest.
When Hua Qingxue walked into the iron camp's workshop, Blacksmith Liu was repeatedly practicing the folding forging method that Hua Qingxue taught him.
Without modern instruments to monitor values, this method can only be practiced through constant practice to slowly master the subtle timing of each step. Even Hua Qingxue himself needed to test it three or five times before instructing Blacksmith Liu in forging. .
When Tiejiang Liu saw Hua Qingxue coming in, he was very happy and immediately showed Hua Qingxue the finished product he had practiced over the past few days. His attitude was very respectful, a bit like receiving a master.
The ancients were very serious and demanding about the inheritance of craftsmanship. Only when recognized by the master can one be regarded as a master.
Although Liu Tiejiang has never worshiped Hua Qingxue as his master, in his heart, his respect for Hua Qingxue is definitely the same as that of his master.
Hua Qingxue looked at the knives in front of her one by one, weighed some of them in her hands, and felt very emotional.
There is no perfect numerical monitoring, no intelligent temperature control, it all depends on human research and experience of this technology. To be able to achieve this level, Liu Tiejiang is already outstanding.
Hua Qingxue believed that when Tiejiang Liu used this method extremely proficiently in the future, the finished product in his hands would be closer to perfection.
"Miss Hua, what do you think of these..." Liu Tiejiang asked a little uneasily.
Hua Qingxue smiled and replied: "Uncle is originally an expert. He can understand the forging method as soon as he hears it. These knives are very good. Although there are still some flaws, every detail has been taken into account. The rest is just based on experience. Accumulation. I think the uncle is fully capable of teaching this method to other craftsmen."
Skills need to be promoted to truly benefit all soldiers, and Hua Qingxue alone is not enough to promote the work.
Hua Qingxue only needs to teach Blacksmith Liu, and others will do the rest.
"Yes, I feel the same way. If you practice this forging method for a while, the quality can continue to improve..." Liu Tiejiang said, with an excited look on his face.
"That's natural. There is still a lot of room for improvement in quality." Hua Qingxue smiled gently.
Almost all legendary and famous blades in ancient times were forged using this folding forging method. Ganjiang, Moxie, Longyuan, Tai'a, Zhanlu, Yuchang, Juque, etc. are among the best, so of course the most perfect quality will not stop here.
Liu Tiejiang's face was full of hope and worry, "I just don't know how far I have to go before I'm done... Do I have enough time in the rest of my life... "
Hua Qingxue understood Liu Tiejiang's obsession with forging. She thought about it and said, "If uncle can one day forge a patterned blade, it means you have succeeded."
"...Patterned blade?" Liu Tiejiang was stunned at first and couldn't help but ask, "Thank you, Miss, for your advice. What is a patterned blade?"
