C26 Make Pen

After finishing lunch, Yan Ge accompanied Yan Xiaojing and the others for a while longer. Then, Yan Ge took Gao Feng and the others and left to start the production of the pen. He preferred to sign with a pen, but the pen holder, especially the tip, was meticulous. The requirement of tools was too high, and in this era, there was not a single possibility. He had to choose a pen.

"Gao Feng, Gao Yun, first, find out where the best blacksmith shop in the city is." Yan Ge leaned on the window and said to the two people on horseback. In the busy city, the carriage and horses were walking at a leisurely pace.

"Yes."

Gao Feng and Gao Yun pulled the reins to ask the shopkeepers at the roadside about the news, and quickly returned.

"Young master, we'll be two more streets away. Your subordinate will lead the way. "

The horse carriage stopped in front of the Lao Lee's Blacksmith Shop. The door of the shop was wide open. Sweat dripped onto the red-hot metal, making a sizzling sound.

Gao Feng instructed Little Piercer to watch the horses and horse carriages.

Yan Ge walked in and looked at the metal tools on the shelves. There were sickles, scissors, shovels, hoes, blades, swords, daggers, etc. It was just that there were rarely any small items. Yan Ge was a little disappointed, afraid that it would be a waste to come here.

Seeing that their clothes did not seem like they needed to personally come to buy something, Lao Lee only glanced at them and continued to beat them up.

The inside of the shop was heated up by the stove. Wan Xiang took out a large fan from the table beside him and fanned Yan Ge.

Yan Ge sat down on an empty chair and indicated to Xiao Chuanzi. Xiao Chuanzi took a piece of silver and placed it on the table.

Lao Lee's eyes flashed, he then stopped what he was doing, wiping his sweat, speaking straightforwardly: "I wonder what kind of steel does this young master want to forge? I can do anything except you. I can't do anything. "

"Oh?" Yan Ge just wanted to hear these words, "The things that I want to do are very small, boss, don't be too straightforward."

Lao Lee had a face full of pride, "No matter how small, you can't be smaller than a needle?"

Yan Ge was startled, and immediately laughed: "That won't happen. I have a map here. "If the boss can't do it, then he can't leak the map. Otherwise, I'm afraid …"

Gao Yun's mind was very flexible, he took out the palace guard badge and lit it up for him, causing Lao Lee's expression to change slightly.

Yan Ge was a little too afraid, he then continued: "If I can do it, not only will I get more rewards, I will even earn more."

After a moment of shock, Lao Lee became interested, "Really?"

Only then did Yan Ge take out the map, "Take a look at this first, you can do it according to the drawing on the map.

Lao Lee looked at the diagram carefully and pointed to the inside, "This place is a hole?"

"That's right. This is a better pen than a brush, which can be written when the ink is placed in a thin tube. " Yan Ge nodded in approval, and explained in detail, "This is the tip of the brush, did you notice the holes and cracks in the middle? This is the key to the effluent. This straw is filled with ink... "

Gao Feng and Gao Yun stared at Yan Ge in shock. If this was completed, then let alone obtaining merits, it would be a huge achievement! This was a great achievement for all scholars in the world!

Wan Xiang and Xiao Chuanzi were a little calmer compared to the others, but the flashing in their eyes revealed that they were not calm either.

Lao Lee looked at Yan Ge in shock. He lowered his head and thought, "I can do it, but …"

Yan Ge took over his words, "It's just that ink can easily rust the tip of the brush and affect the water quality. Right? "

Lao Lee nodded, "So young master had thought of it too."

"Therefore, I need you to think of a way to slow the rate at which the metal rusts. At the very least, the tip of the brush won't rust for at least a year. You are a blacksmith, so you must know more about this than I do. " Yan Ge glanced at Xiao Chuanzi.

Xiao Chuanzi took out another ten silver.

Yan Ge said: "I will allow you to discuss or cooperate with other craftsmen in this area, provided that you do not divulge that this is a new type of brush. Or perhaps, you can recommend a more suitable talent to me. Once you succeed, you will also be rewarded. This was a great achievement. Boss Li should understand this logic, right? "

Lao Lee was obviously moved, after hesitating for a moment, he clenched his teeth and said, "I'll accept it!" His ancestors were all craftsmen, so they didn't have much potential. If he could really earn a portion of honor, it would be a good thing that the Light Faction would bring glory to their ancestors. He might even be able to bring fortune to his descendants!

Yan Ge cautioned: "Because the size of this straw must match the size of the trunk, it will be up to you to resolve it. It requires a high degree of flexibility and does not leak water. It may not be easy to find the right material. Have you thought it over clearly? "

Lao Lee said, "That won't be difficult. After the Fire Ravens' intestines are dried and soaked in water, it will be very soft.

"Very good." Yan Ge was very satisfied with this trip, "Make a finished product as soon as possible for this Young Master to see. You can improve on the details later."

"Young master, don't worry. I'm confident." The Lao Lee nodded heavily.

"Alright, I will give you three days. No problem, right? " Yan Ge asked.

"No problem."

"I'll come back in three days."

After leaving the blacksmith shop for a few meters, Yan Ge said to Gao Feng: "You have worked hard, keep an eye on Lao Lee during these three days."

Gao Feng was suspicious: "Does young master think that Lao Lee will take the silver and run?"

Yan Ge shook his head, "No. The matter of the pen was confidential and important. The design had been stolen by others, so it was a small matter for them to make a pen first to earn money. I don't wish to see the people from another nation produce the things that we have invented using our Da Han Country. "There's nothing wrong with being careful."

However, to have such an awareness at the age of sixteen or seventeen, Gao Feng was convinced, "Young Master, you think too deeply. I'll go. Young Master can rest assured, with my skill, Lao Lee will definitely not discover that I am following him. " After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked back, his horse held by Gao Yun.

Xiao Chuanzi was worried, "Young Master, the Emperor has only given you half a month. Shouldn't we be looking for a few more blacksmiths?

Wan Xiang rolled his eyes, "The more people know about Young Noble's plan, the higher the possibility of it being leaked."

Yan Ge praised: "Wan Xiang has improved a lot, Xiao Chuanzi is going to work hard. Oh right, Xiao Chuanzi, in order to prevent others from guessing that you came out of the palace, I will call you Little Boat from now on. Everyone, don't shout incorrectly in the future. " Some of the characteristics of eunuchs were hard to conceal.

"Thank you, Young Noble!" Xiao Chuanzi's eyes reddened in gratitude, but he swore to himself that he would forever be loyal to his master.

Gao Yun watched on from the side, not knowing how many more surprises this Yan Ying had promised to give him.
