210 Difficulties
210 There are many difficulties
After receiving the instructions of Zhan Xiaobai, the Tie Bing began to prepare to cast copper coins in the blacksmith shop. Li Asan took a mason and dozens of farmers to dig a cellar in a remote courtyard in the village, preparing to build a safe and high-rise underground coin. After a day, the cellar was dug, and the craftsmen and tools could be transferred in.
There are various iron-smelting tools in the blacksmith shop, so it is not a big problem to use them to smelify copper. After half a day of work, the Iron Bing built a copper smelting furnace. This copper smelting furnace is actually like a small pot, not big. There are more than ten kilograms of copper ingots brought back by Zhan Xiaobai in the warehouse of Xiaobai Village, which can be used to cast.
After everything was ready, Tie Dabing called on several NPC craftsmen who were the first to join Xiaobai Village and had high loyalty to start smelting copper.
Tiemuyi, Tie 2, Tie 3 and Tie 3 have been working hard for a long time, and like Tie Dabing, they have long been high-level blacksmiths. After upgrading to high-level blacksmiths, they can no longer make breakthroughs to a higher level.
Tiemuyi held a copper ingot and said strangely: "Master, we are blacksmiths, why did we refine copper? We don't have the experience of blacksmithing skills in doing this job. Moreover, we don't have the skills and experience of casting bronzes, so we can't do anything. It's better to let the coppersmith do it."
Tie Er and Tie San were also confused and were reluctant to do this job.
Tie Dabing glared at them and shouted seriously: "This is the order of the village chief. You can do whatever you want. Why do you ask so much?! Are there copper smiths in our village now? Don't be too verbose. First, you add materials to the crucible, put copper, drain slag, the second brother makes fire, control the heat, and the third brother stirs the copper juice. I have my own sense!"
The three of them were startled, shrank their heads and worked honestly. After a long time, the copper ingots in the crucible began to melt and turned into boiling red juice. Tiemu threw the copper into it intermittently and stirred it.
The copper juice melted, and then Tie Dabing took out the mold, scooped up the copper juice with a spoon, and slowly poured them into the coin mold. It took a few minutes to fill it, put the mold into a bucket of clear water, and a sizzling smoke came out of the sizzling sound. After the mold cooled slightly, it took a while before the mold was taken out.
Tie Dabing opened the mold and poured it out.
"Crash."
A small pile of yellow coins were shining in front of the four. Temuyi and his disciples suddenly widened their eyes and were stunned.
Even Tie Dabing himself had already prepared himself, but he was surprised to see that he had cast these coins himself and felt an indescribable excitement and excitement in his heart. This feeling was even stronger than when he became a blacksmith.
Tie San threw away the pottery stick with copper juice, picked up a coin, put it in his mouth and took a bite. He was a little tooth-achieved and said in surprise: "Copper coin~, this is not a copper coin, right?!" He shouted in surprise, "Master, it turns out that we are minting copper coins! Oh my God, Master, we have minted so many copper coins at once! After refining for a few days, the room is full of copper coins, and you are getting rich now!"
Tie Dabing nodded and Lao Huai laughed. He was a great hero of Xiaobai Village when he could successfully cast this copper coin in his hands. Later, when the villagers talked about Xiaobai Village's copper coins, everyone praised him for his high ability.
Temuyi was also very excited and turned around with a copper coin. Suddenly he found that something was wrong with the copper coin. Although the size was the same as a real copper coin, when he looked carefully, the color seemed to be very different. He took out a real copper coin from his pocket. After comparison, there was indeed a little difference. The real coin had a bit of blue color, but this copper coin was pure yellow. If you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't tell it.
He hesitated to the other three ecstatic npcs and said, "Master, two junior brothers, this copper coin is a bit wrong. The ones we cast seem to be different from the real copper coin."
A basin of cold water suddenly poured on the ecstatic Tie Dajian and the other two men, and they suddenly became nervous.
"No, was it wrong to cast?"
"The coin was not successful?"
Tie Dabing's face changed and he hurriedly took the copper coin to look. He was now a little dizzy and couldn't see clearly. He put the copper coin in his pocket. The copper coin did not enter his digital account, but fell into his backpack - copper coin [pseudo], 1. At this moment, Tie Dabing saw it clearly. He was also confused, fake coin?
He quickly inspected the small pile of copper coins one by one, and Tiemu 1, Tie 2 and Tie 3 were also helping.
Soon, they checked every copper coin and found that this pile was filled with fake coins, and none of them were real coins.
This discovery made them very depressed.
Unexpectedly, what was minted was actually a fake copper coin. Such a fake copper coin could be easily recognized by others and could not be used at all.
Tie San asked in a daze and disgusted manner: "Master, what should I do? Will I still cast it?"
Tie Dabing was also in a state of silence, and he was anxious now! He personally promised to mint the copper coins, but he didn't expect that what he got was a bunch of fake coins. How could he tell the Lord to the Lord!
Tie Er shook his head and said regretfully: "It seems that only copper smiths can cast this copper coin. We are all blacksmiths, so where can we cast it!"
Tie San said: "But there are no copper smiths in our village, so just wait! Let's cast it when there are copper smiths?"
Temuyi suggested, "Master, we may have made mistakes in operation. Otherwise, let's try again? If it doesn't work, we are thinking of other solutions."
Tie Dabing thought about it and only had Temuyi's method. He said to the three people: "Okay, come on, try it a few more times to see if it can be made."
The four of them continued to mobilize copper ingots and cast copper coins.
They have refined more than ten crucibles of copper juice in succession, and tried different refining methods, heat and water temperature, and they are still all fake coins. Now they have no choice but to spend one fifth of the copper ingots, and they have not found any breakthrough yet.
Tie Dabing came to the administrative compound to find Zhan Xiaobai, and told him the news of the failure of coin minting.
Zhan Xiaobai was stunned. He didn't expect this to be the result.
He asked, "Oh, failed? What's the reason? Is it that you can't make it?"
Tie Dabing shook his head and took out more than ten copper coins [fake] and handed them to Zhan Xiaobai. He was very upset, "My lord, I don't know why. I was inexperienced and could not cast qualified copper coins. My three apprentices and I repeatedly cast them more than ten times, but they are still the same, all of them are fake coins. The counterfeiting of this kind of counterfeit coins is too obvious. You can find that it is fake and cannot be used at a glance."
Zhan Xiaobai wondered, no! Didn’t Baling Village create many real coins? How could it be that they could not be minted in his hands? He took a handful of copper coins [fake] from the Tie Dabing. He took out another real copper coins and compared them. Sweat, the difference in color is indeed quite obvious. The counterfeit coins are pure yellow, and the real copper coins are blue.
This is obviously wrong in the ingredients. In addition to copper, real coins also add other ingredients. As for what ingredients and what proportion it is, Zhan Xiaobai is not sure. It is likely to be other minerals such as tin and lead.
Seeing that Tie Dabing was very discouraged, he couldn't help but comfort and laugh and said, "Brother Tie, don't be discouraged. The color of this copper coin is wrong. It should be because the ingredients used are not up to standard. It is not because your skills are not good. Anyway, you are not in a hurry. You should go back to find the deputy village chief Li first, and ask him to find some tin and lead ore from the warehouse, add it to you and try it out to see the effect. If it can be made, if it really can't be made, then wait until the copper smith is recruited. Also, you must pay special attention to confidentiality and security, and you cannot leak this matter to ordinary villagers."
Tie Dabing suddenly realized, yes, this must be a problem with the formula. Why didn't he expect this? It's still the lord's good! "Thank you, lord, please give me a try right away." He hurriedly left and asked Li A San for ore.
Zhan Xiaobai saw him coming and going in a hurry, smiled and shook his head, and continued to do what he hadn't done just now.
He is cleaning up the items in the secret warehouse.
This time he went to Wuwei and then to Luoyang, he was thinking about what items to bring. Gifts are definitely indispensable. Most of the NPC officials had a habit of receiving gifts. From ministers and bureaucrats to guarding the door, there was almost no one who was not good at this.
Not to mention anything else, the gift from the prefect of Wuwei County must be given. At least he was recommended as a filial and honest person. According to ancient rules, he was considered half a student of the prefect of Wuwei County. It is absolutely necessary to establish a good relationship with the prefect of Wuwei County.
It is said that this Wuwei prefect is very rich.
Zhan Xiaobai was thinking, and suddenly saw a scroll of the heavenly book in a corner of the secret library. The heavenly book was still lying quietly in a corner of the secret library.
Zhan Xiaobai felt a little moved in his secret library. This priceless thing had been lying in his secret library for a long time, but it was still useless.
He picked it up and looked at it, thinking to himself, maybe he could learn it now.
use!
Dingdong, a prompt: "The final volume of the Thirty-Six Volumes of Heavenly Books "Jiazi" comes with a skill. Learning requires level 30, and the quality is quiet. You do not have the quality of tranquility, and you have not yet met the requirements for learning Heavenly Books skills."
Damn! Damn the damn quiet quality, only one thing knows how this thing got.
Zhan Xiaobai immediately threw it into the corner of the secret library.
That night, Jianba gave him a stack of information, which included a list of all players recommended as filial and honest players in the thirteen prefectures and counties across the country.
Too many people on the list,
Zhan Xiaobai only looked at the player characters in Liangzhou and was stunned when he saw it.
Wuwei County Xiaolian: Xiaobai, the world of the Warring States Period, Blue Demon Tears. (Player)
He didn't find it strange that the World of Warring States Period was selected.
But this Blue Demon Tears is not the village chief, but the leader of a gang of organizations.
Zhan Xiaobai was surprised: "Blue Demon Tears?...Isn't he the leader of the gang? Why did he come in too?"
Jianba smiled calmly and said, "Blue Demon Tears, the number one master in Liangzhou, the leader of the strongest gang in Wuwei City. More than 8% of the player masters in Wuwei City are in his gang. They are the eighth-rank official position and serve as a hundred generals in Wuwei Infantry Battalion. Another very important thing is that... He is Jian Rumai's righteous brother. Xiaobai, this Wuwei City is probably not that easy to leave."
