Chapter 292 Ideas
"I also took a knife and gave it to you."
Li Yu handed him the box.
"And my gift."
"You've been promoted, do I have to give you a gift? I happen to have this knife, so I'll take a fancy to it and see if I like it."
Gu Lei opened the box and took out the knife. The knife is simple and elegant, with a narrow blade. This is the knife used by generals.
Knife is divided into thickness and thickness. Guards' knives cannot be used on the battlefield because they are easy to curl.
Heavy knives are used by generals. For a simple example, the ones that cut bones and the ones that cut meat are not the same thing.
Heavy knives have almost no blade, and are very narrow. The blade is thick and heavy in the hand.
This knife is a blood-drinking knife. It has a thick and restrained feeling, but it is also cold.
"Good knife, really good knife."
"Nonsense, a serious antique Tang knife. Your wife searched for it a year in advance and found it for you after building a good relationship with the manager. It cost a lot of money."
Of the few items, this knife is the most expensive.
It is the horizontal knife in Tang Dao, and it is one of the most famous four middle swords in Tang Dao.
The Mo Dao is the longest and the heaviest, suitable for immediate combat, as an heir to the Dao, both men and horses will be destroyed.
But it is too long and too heavy for horseback combat.
Li Yu searched for a long time but couldn't find Mo Dao, its crafting technology is very difficult.
Heng Dao is used as a supplement to Mo Dao. It is very common in the army, and it adopts the same forging method. It is not inferior to Mo Dao. The difference lies in the supplementary usage of thickness and length.
"It's really a good knife, it's perfect for me, daughter-in-law, you still love me."
As a child of a general's family, Gu Lei likes swords, guns, swords and halberds.
"As long as you like it, it's a pity that I haven't found a real Mo Dao, it's all an imitation."
The real Mo Dao is extremely complex in workmanship, indestructible, thick, and heavy in weight. It is not for ordinary generals to play, and ordinary soldiers cannot hold it at all.
"I can't open it with the Mo Dao, and I can't make a fake if I don't have the strength. It's not as good as this Heng Dao. It's easy to use and flexible, and I can wear it at ordinary times."
Gu Lei belongs to the Ministry of War and can wear swords.
"Give Your Highness a clear way to wear it."
Grandpa Gu reminded his grandson that everything should be done straightforwardly, and His Highness should not be misunderstood and suspicious.
"yes."
Gu Lei touched it so much that he couldn't put it down, he was as happy as a child.
"Grandpa, do you think my family can produce the quality of Modao?"
"I think it is possible, but there is an opportunity. You can find a good knife in this area. There is no hurry."
"I'll show it to my father-in-law, my elder brother must be envious of me, haha!"
Gu Lei happily went to Li's house with a knife to show off, childish child.
"I also made a little gadget for Brother Xin before."
Li Yu specially made something for Brother Xin for self-defense.
Brother Xin also practiced martial arts, but he was not suitable for going to the battlefield. His boxing kung fu and sword skills were taught by Boss Li and Li Rui personally.
Boys like swords, so I prepared a set of hidden weapons for Brother Xin. He has a useful short blade, which was given to him by Grandpa Li, and he sleeps with it.
"Why are you giving him so much thought, that child has been spoiled by you, he should be strict and not relax."
"It's not spoiled, my father and my elder brother are very fierce, don't let me ask."
Li Yu smiled.
"You spoil the child too much, it's not a good thing, boys should be stricter."
Grandpa Gu agrees with Boss Li's approach.
The two of you were chatting, and Gu Lei came back proudly, followed by Li Rui.
"Look at you, you are stingy, lend me the knife to play for a few days, and I will return it to you."
"No, this is a gift from my daughter-in-law."
Li Yu glanced at him, then shook her head and ignored him.
"Yu'er, why don't you buy one for me too, look at him with his tail up and show off to me... I don't even have one."
"Aren't they all the same? If there's anything to argue about, I'll find out for you later."
"Then I want Mo Dao."
"Are you able to play Mo Dao?"
Li Yubai glanced at his brother, the Mo Dao is very heavy, not for ordinary people to play with.
This is why generals are not at the same level as ordinary guards. You can’t even pick up a weapon, and you’ll die if you go.
"Then I want it too."
Li Rui ran to pester Grandpa Gu.
"Grandpa, she is eccentric."
"I can't, I haven't found it. The Mo knife is not so easy to find. You can take this knife and let the craftsman take a closer look, maybe it can be improved."
"I think so too, Leizi, give me the knife."
Li Rui tilted his chin at Gu Lei proudly.
"If you don't give it, I will take it."
"I'll let the craftsman take a look before giving it to you."
"I'll give it to you after I play for a while."
"The handle of the knife is broken, I'll get you a new one."
The two are seeing each other.
"Give it to him, I'll give it to you when it's finished, and I'll see what's so special about the knife."
Li Yu smiled helplessly.
"Well, then you can't break the knife."
"rest assured."
Li Rui forcibly snatched the knife from Gu Lei.
"Grandpa, I'm leaving, I won't eat anymore, hahaha! Here it comes!"
Snatched the knife and ran away.
Angrily, Gu Lei stomped his feet.
"He won't break it for me."
"No, take a small piece from the handle of the knife for research, and it will not affect the integrity of the knife."
At the handle of the knife, there will be a part of the knife body to facilitate the installation of the handle. In order to study the casting technology of the knife, the craftsman has to take a small piece and study it carefully.
"Okay, I'll beat him if he breaks it."
Gu Lei was still reluctant to let go, and ran away without warming him up.
"Your Highness didn't say what to do next?"
"It is necessary to open up wasteland for the refugees, build villages, further allow them to live and work in peace and contentment, and open up more land. This step must be done slowly."
“There are still many people whose houses have not been fully built, and the land has not been fully opened.”
Refugees come early and late, and there are particularly difficult refugees who have nothing, and those who are sick and take care of their children need time to recuperate.
Resettlement of refugees is a complicated and long-term process. The next step is to settle them, let them open up wasteland, grow more food, and develop farmers to live and work in peace and contentment. Only when there are enough people and food can we cope with the war.
"I thought of some immature ideas before, can you take a look?"
Li Yu used to do a lot of post-disaster reconstruction work for refugees, accumulated a lot of experience, and saw many unfinished problems.
"Let me see."
Gu Lei is very interested.
Li Yu showed him his notebook, as well as maps and drawings he had drawn.
Grandpa Gu and Gu Lei read it carefully, and the writing was very clear. The things that were repeatedly melted down and rewritten were obviously thought over.
"Are you going to rebuild the town?"
"Yes, you didn't realize that some wastelands are too far away from Linqi City. Going to the market is too troublesome. It is inconvenient for villagers to buy a needle, thread and brain, and it is not conducive to communication between villages and towns."
"If you can build a town, it will be different. Slowly, you can stand up. Villagers can sell prey, needles and brains, and go to the market. Only by interacting with each other can you earn some pocket money."
Grandpa Gu nodded after reading it, "It's very comprehensive. Please sort out this thing and write a note for Your Highness. Don't lie and tell the truth."
"Yes, let me read it carefully and sort it out. Many ideas coincide with mine. The key is that it is practical to have specific thinking."
Gu Lei glanced at his daughter-in-law, his face full of admiration.
