Although the small workshop is not big, it has all the internal organs. Liu Hui will take you to visit. He told everyone that the most important thing about their family building swords and other swords is to make iron.

Nowadays, there are many raw materials for small workshops. There are still a lot of steel left after the father and grandfather made.

The main reason is that the business of these two generations is getting worse and worse, and the refined steel is accumulated and passed to him. The small workshop is relatively valuable, and it is probably the same as this piece of land, which is the raw materials.

But now, everyone likes to use alloys, and it is rare to use the steel that has been refined by elders.

Therefore, Liu Hui rarely makes ironwork now, and he feels unnecessary. Although he is also skilled in the family-born ironwork method, he has been taught step by step since he was a child. How can he not?

The so-called steelmaking process is not as simple as hitting a hundred times. Every time you hit it, it is very skillful.

After that, there are also processes such as quenching, which are very important. The entire process has more than ten processes in total. Therefore, swords created by artificial traditionally expended, and the price will be relatively high, and they have no competitiveness at all when they are produced by other sword casting factories.

It can be said that there are only a handful of people in Longquan who use traditional crafts to cast swords.

Knowing that Hu Yang is going to let people in the live broadcast room see traditional craftsmanship, Liu Hui also introduced it hard, trying to be more careful, and even telling some details, without any concerns about leaking secrets. If anyone likes to learn, just learn!

Just now, he took a look at Hu Yang’s live broadcast room.

Good! Hundreds of thousands of people watch online.

This is also an opportunity to promote one's own craftsmanship, so Liu Hui will not let it go, and even introduce it to the mystery. It would be great if it could attract some customers.

In fact, their small workshop used to have workers, but after it was passed to him, it became a bachelor commander.

There is no way! I am almost unable to survive, and I still have to pay someone else’s salary? Is this a pity that I didn’t die fast enough?

"These are all the inventory left before." Liu Hui pointed to the wooden box in the corner.

In addition to the raw materials, there are also finished products, which were made by my grandfather, father and others before, and were not sold. However, those sword and weapons, because the styles are too old, are basically no one appreciated them now.

Huyang nodded gently, walked over, opened the box, and was filled with swords in several styles, all of which were more traditional swords. The longest knife was more than one meter, close to two meters.

"Will such a long knife be useful?" Andy Lau couldn't help asking.

Liu Hui quickly introduced: "This is a Mo Dao, a saber from the Tang Dynasty, but it was no longer popular later."

It was the representative of the long-handled sword in ancient China, and it became popular between the time of Emperor Gaozong's Diaolu and the tenth year of Kaiyuan. At the beginning, the use of the Mo sword was used to fight against the Turkic cavalry.

Everyone knows that people ride on horseback and are relatively tall, and your weapon is too short and you probably won't be able to get close to you.

Therefore, in ancient times, long-handled knives and spears were the more popular cold weapons.

At this time, someone in the live broadcast room was puzzled: Why is it so similar to a Japanese sword?

Before, Brother Hu had taken them to see Japanese swords, which looked very similar to the one in front of him, but they were not that long, especially the handle.

Hu Yang told everyone: "Mo Dao is actually the prototype of Japanese swords. In the Tang Dynasty, it had a great influence on Japan. Nowadays, many of the so-called traditional crafts in Japan were actually moved by the Tang Dynasty at that time."

Modao is a long sword held by Tang infantry. It developed from the Western Han Dynasty's Ma Sword and absorbed the shape and smelting technology of the Han Lumodao and the Six Dynasties long swords. It has specific departments to cast, store and manage.

It is said that this knife is extremely sharp and has excellent chopping effect. It is mainly used to kill enemy cavalry in war. Its tactical role is equivalent to today's anti-tank weapons. Moreover, due to its great deterrence, it is used as a high-ranking civil and military officials and vassal states.

Why is it said?

Because this kind of knife does not exist at all now, people can only see records about it from historical books. Modao is not allowed to be buried with him. In the Song Dynasty, it was basically no longer popular and was even lost later.

"It should be difficult to use such a long knife, right?" Old Wu couldn't help but say.

Liu Hui nodded: "So, it is destined to be eliminated. Its use is very simple, only chopping and waving. Then, it requires the army to move neatly and have high discipline requirements. Otherwise, this weapon will easily hurt its own people by mistake."

Huyang didn't think so, and smiled and said, "In ancient times, when cold weapons were cold, in war, it was just about the number of people, but about the weapons. Whoever had more threatening weapons would naturally win half of it.

Just imagine, a group of soldiers holding daggers and watching others bracelets one or two meters long, do you dare to get on?

Whose sword is bigger is not only a shock to the other party’s heart, but also a courage to strengthen yourself. Sometimes psychological warfare is also important. When you are afraid of fighting at the beginning, what else can you fight?"

Modao was really eliminated not because it was too long.

The real elimination is because I think the internal cost is too high. A Modao can make several other types of weapons with iron. If you were the emperor, what would you think?

It is said that during the Tang Dynasty, a Jiedushi almost broke the bankruptcy by Modao.

In addition, from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, frequent wars made the soldiers replace quickly. The use of Modao requires long-term training to master it. It is more appropriate for ordinary recruits to use ordinary weapons on the battlefield.

Moreover, in the Song Dynasty, when it was a dynasty that focused on economic development and did not pay attention to military development, it became natural that Modao declined.

"And it is, the use of Modao is inseparable from the tactics and tactics of the Tang army.

It is said that the formation of the Tang army is very similar to that of Rome. There are three rows of Modao Hands in front of the central army, and behind them are crossbowmen. The crossbowmen also have long spears and Modao, and can support the Modao Team at any time.

Finally, I think the reason for Modao's real decline is the system problem of the Tang army.

At that time, the Tang army's system was to regulate standard weapons and not allow the civilian manufacturing. The manufacturing technology was blocked in the army. After the army abandoned Modao, it had no inheritance from the people, and it was completely lost." Hupogon's analysis was reasonable and well-founded.

This violent analysis made Liu Hui stunned.

I can't tell that this anchor has a few tricks! These reasons have to be said, which make people convinced. Even if they are not aware of their profession, they feel that it makes sense after hearing it.

He couldn't help but raise his thumb.

Even Ye Ping's parents nodded secretly. Although this young man is not very old, he is knowledgeable.

"Haha! Brother Hu's analysis made the boss confused."

"Another shocked person."

"In terms of knowledge reserves, I will obey Brother Hu."

...

Liu Hui picked up another knife and introduced it to everyone: "I believe everyone is familiar with this kind of knife. You can often see it in TV series and movies. It is the famous Emoticon of the Ming Dynasty."

When it comes to the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei, many people think of the murderous and bloody and violent court intelligence agencies. Among them, the two major symbols of Jinyiwei: flying fish suits and embroidered spring swords.

The Ming Dynasty was an era when Chinese and Western weapons and cultures converged, with various hot and cold weapons emerging one after another. According to historical records, the royal elite swords of the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei and the famous "Embroidered Spring Sword".

"In legend, each embroidered spring sword is made of thousands of pure and hundreds of refinements. The blade is extremely sharp. Holding the knife in both hands and those with great strength can cut off the entire horse's head with one knife." Liu Hui said to everyone.

"It's another legend?" Andy Lau was surprised.

Hu Yang smiled and said, "Because the Xiuchun Knife is like the Mo Dao, there are no physical objects unearthed, we can only learn about them through historical records."

He told everyone that as a standard weapon of royal armed forces, the embroidered spring sword reached the peak of ancient cold weapons. However, with the emergence and development of firearms, the royal family began to equip firearms in large quantities, gradually replacing the status of cold weapons. The embroidered spring sword disappeared into the long river of history like a flash in the pan.

As soon as these words came out, the audience in the live broadcast room was surprised.

It seems that the Ming Dynasty is not very far away from us, right? There is a Qing Dynasty separated from the middle. Such a famous knife has no physical objects unearthed? For a moment, everyone expressed doubts.

You should know that the Ming Dynasty Jinyiwei went deep into all aspects of society, and they were there at home and abroad. They monitored the entire world for the emperor, and there were not tens of thousands of people. Can this work be carried out?

In addition, some people have strange ideas about why it is strange to have such a delicate sword name as a knife that kills people.

"You must think that this is impossible. There are so many Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, how could there be no embroidered spring sword left behind?

In fact, not every Jinyiwei is qualified to wear the embroidered spring sword.

The embroidered spring sword is very well-made, and it is top-notch in terms of materials and craftsmanship. According to records, some thousands of households do not have embroidered spring swords, let alone those under the Jinyiwei households.

Although there were many thousands of households in the Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, there were also many members of the thousand households, and there were fourteen people in the thousand households. The top of the thousand households were two politicians, two commanders, two commanders, two commanders, and one commander.

Then, that is to say, the embroidered spring swords in the Jinyiwei are actually only twenty or thirty pieces, which is pitifully few."

After hearing Brother Hu's words, everyone realized that they were wrong. They thought that the embroidered spring sword was the standard configuration of all Jinyiwei. It turned out that there were not so few. No wonder that there was only one Qing Dynasty, and there was no way to find an embroidered spring sword left by the Ming Dynasty.

"Brother Hu is right. The embroidered spring sword is a top-level sword that has been tempered for thousands of times. It was also a rare thing in the Ming Dynasty, so it is basically impossible to see today." Before he knew it, Liu Hui also began to call Hu Yang as Brother Hu.

Hu Yang couldn't help but look at the long wooden box with her treasure hunting eyes, and was slightly stunned. Unexpectedly, there was a sword inside.

He said, "I want everything except that Modao, so you can offer a price."
