Chapter 39 Iron Farm Tools
As the cold of winter gradually subsides, spring finally arrives, the earth begins to wake up, and all things come alive again.
The sunlight shines on the green buds, awakening the dormant plants. When the flowers bloom, the fragrance is everywhere; the wind blows through the fields, bringing vitality.
Farmers living outside the city of Guili bent over and wielded stone hoes vigorously, digging up the ground frozen by ice and snow bit by bit, then turned it over and used the other side of the hoe to break up large chunks of soil.
The early spring sunshine was mild, but the intense labor still made the farmers sweat, but none of them complained of being tired. The reason was that last year, they earned a lot of Mora from the rice and wheat they planted. After carefully counting with their fingers, they found that they could get a lot more things with rice than before Mora.
From this perspective, you only need to work hard to grow more rice and wheat, and then exchange them for Mora to get more and better things, such as cloth and meat, plus the salt that was just released...
Thinking of this, the farmers began to work harder on farming.
Some are happy, some are sad.
In a market near Tianheng Mountain in Guiliyuan, a store called Iron Smelting Shop opened quietly.
People in the market discovered that this shop did not sell meat, clothes, or herbs, but instead displayed a large number of iron blocks.
"Iron smelting shop, what is iron smelting used for?"
"Why don't you take this iron and exchange it for Mora."
"That's true, but why didn't I see anyone?"
While the people in the market were discussing, a voice came from behind: "Everyone, make way. I'm the director of the currency bureau. Please make way!"
The market folks who heard the sound immediately made way.
They all knew about the Currency Bureau, and many of them had gone there to exchange Mora. They also knew that the director of the Currency Bureau was a disciple of an immortal, and his status was far higher than theirs.
Soon, a young man and a black-haired woman were seen walking in.
"Junior Brother Hanwu, Junior Sister Yunlian, are you here?"
These three people were Zhu Yuncheng, Zhu Xie and Ning Kuan. Zhu Yuncheng had just learned from his master that Hanwu and Yunlian were stripped of their disciple status and expelled from Hulao Mountain and Qingyun Peak because they failed to meet the requirements of the two True Lords, Lishui and Zhuyang, and came here.
"Master, although my junior brothers and sisters Hanwu and Yunlian are not very talented in cultivation, they are definitely very talented in blacksmithing! And Guiliji needs them right now."
Liu Yun knew that his intelligent disciple would not do anything without reason, so he brought him directly here.
That’s right, the black-haired woman following behind Zhu Yuncheng at this moment is the human form of Master Liuyun.
Deep inside the shop, Zhu Yuncheng saw Hanwu and Yunlian, both of whom looked haggard.
Although the two had already prepared themselves to be stripped of their status as disciples by the True Lord and had actively prepared a way out for themselves, when that day arrived, they still felt like a landslide.
When the two heard Zhu Yuncheng's call, a hint of confusion flashed in their eyes at the same time, and then they quickly stood up.
Seeing the two haggard people, Zhu Yuncheng sighed in his heart: "My two junior brothers and sisters, I hope you are all right."
Hanwu looked at Zhu Yuncheng, then glanced at the black-haired woman behind him whom he had never seen before, and the corners of his mouth trembled: "Master Director Yuncheng, I am no longer a disciple of the immortal."
Zhu Yuncheng shook his head. "Although you are no longer disciples of the immortals, you can still make outstanding contributions to our Guiliji in blacksmithing! So in my heart, you are still my junior brothers and sisters."
Hanwu and Yunlian are old enough to be Zhu Yuncheng's parents, but he said this without blushing or beating his heart, which made Hanwu and Yunlian look moved. On the other hand, Liuyun behind him had already gotten used to his apprentice's words.
Hanwu took a deep breath and said, "I don't know, Director Yuncheng, how can we contribute to Guiliji? Now we can only do ironwork."
"That's what we need to do." Zhu Yuncheng nodded. "Brother Hanwu, Sister Yunlian, today, as the Director of the Currency Bureau, I will order 2,000 iron hoes and 2,000 iron sickles from you at the price of 10 molas each. You need to complete the work before the autumn harvest this year. Can you do it?"
"What?" Han Wu was stunned when he heard Zhu Yuncheng's words, "How much?"
Zhu Yuncheng repeated, "Two thousand iron hoes, two thousand iron sickles, a total of four thousand. There is still more than half a year before the autumn harvest. Can we do it?"
Hanwu and Yunlian were puzzled. In their minds, iron was only used to make mattocks for mining, and using iron to make farm tools was unheard of.
"Yun Cheng, why did you ask these two people to make these things?" Liu Yun asked in confusion, "The tools that the farmers in Guiliji have now are enough."
Zhu Yuncheng bowed and said, "Master, you are right. This is just my immature idea. Looking at the farmers in Guiliji, they basically use stone as the raw material of farm tools. One day, I heard that the people of the Salt God said that in order to protect the safety of farming outside the city, they basically use iron tools. If a monster comes, the iron tools can also break the shell of the opponent.
When there are no monsters invading, iron tools can easily dig through even frozen hard soil."
This is true, Ming You did say so. That weapon can be imagined as a hoe with a sharp spear head on top.
Zhu Yuncheng continued, "In Guiliji, there is no need to develop weapons, but strong iron farm tools that can dig through frozen soil are a must. With such farm tools, farmers will find it more convenient to farm in the future, and it will also be helpful for land reclamation when there is enough food in the future."
Seeing that Zhu Yuncheng had already made sufficient plans, Liu Yun said no more and looked at Hanwu and Yunlian who were standing and kneeling on the ground.
When Liu Yun claimed to be an immortal, the two people realized that this woman was Zhu Yuncheng's master, Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun.
According to the rules, ordinary people should kneel down and kowtow when they see an immortal.
Zhu Yuncheng also looked at the two of them at this time, and suddenly felt a headache. Seeing the immortal kneel down, this rule would require a lot of time to correct, and it would not be able to be changed within at least decades.
"Get up." Liu Yun said, "Can you fulfill the requirements of this immortal disciple?"
"Reporting to Master Liuyun, Yunlian and I can complete it in about half a year." Hanwu didn't dare to stand up, but just looked up and answered.
"Yeah." Liu Yun looked at the two people kneeling on the ground, then looked at Zhu Yuncheng, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Why can't you stand and talk to me like my beloved disciple, but have to kneel on the ground and dare not say a word. Am I that scary?
Zhu Yuncheng noticed Liu Yun's gaze: This arrogant master is probably comparing me with the disciples of the two True Lords, Lishui and Xueyue.
"In that case, I will go back and not disturb you any more." Liu Yun snorted, turned around and left.
This snort startled Hanwu. He thought he had done something wrong and quickly lowered his head again.
Zhu Yuncheng was even more puzzled. After respectfully seeing his master off, he helped Hanwu and Yunlian up.
"Director Yuncheng, Master Liuyun, are you dissatisfied with us?" Hanwu's voice trembled slightly, and Yunlian's face was pale.
Zhu Yuncheng was also thinking in his heart, but he couldn't understand what his arrogant master was thinking, so he could only comfort him: "It's okay, I will ask the master why when I go back. Now the top priority is to make those iron farm tools."
With Zhu Yuncheng's words, Hanwu and Yunlian felt a little more at ease, and then they saw Zhu Yuncheng take out two pieces of paper and a pen from his arms and started grinding ink.
"What is this?" Hanwu took the paper handed over by Zhu Yuncheng and looked at it carefully. Yun Lian also came over and saw the conditions listed on the paper.
The Currency Bureau purchased 4,000 iron farm tools from Hanwu and Yunlian at a price of 10 Moras.
The currency bureau will use half of the total price as a deposit, totaling 20,000 Mora.
Cambrian, Yunlian agreed to complete the manufacture of farm tools within eight months and deliver them to the Currency Bureau on time.
If one party violates any of the clauses, it will be regarded as a breach of contract and the party will be punished by being eaten by the rock!
"Director Yun Cheng, what is this?"
"This is a simple contract. After all, the total amount of Mora for this transaction has reached 40,000. We must sign this contract, otherwise it will be invalid." Zhu Yuncheng explained, "Only after signing this contract will the transaction between us be valid." Zhu Yuncheng explained, "In addition, this half of the deposit is for your living expenses. The mountain is different from the mountain. Food, cloth, etc. all need to be traded in Mora."
After signing the contract, Zhu Yuncheng left the iron shop, feeling a little relieved.
Take your time, don't rush.
