Chapter 5 Damascus Steel

"Myanmar iron!" The little official exclaimed, this is a good thing. It can be used to cast magical weapons and is much better than the Han family's Baifu Steel.

Two thousand pounds are enough to build four or five hundred, and can equip elite troops or personal soldiers.

In this chaotic world and endless wars, there is no prince who will not like this kind of thing.

More importantly, this thing has a price but no market. According to legend, only the Western Regions can be produced. Apart from this, it is impossible to buy it.

"Yes, I saw a lot of good things coming out in Shu, and I just wanted to buy some to sell them! So I asked to see the King of Han, don't worry, I don't want to die, I won't do stupid things like assassination..."

Finally convinced the clerk and went there worriedly when he saw him.

Shi Fei was stunned for a while and took out a knife in his hand.

This is a ring-headed sword, slender and sharp, suddenly looking like a long sword, but it only has a single-sided edge. This kind of sword is famous for the ring at the handle.

"It's not actually made of 100-strength steel commonly used in Middle-earth. Although this steel is not as good as Burmese iron, it is also very good... and this is just ordinary soldiers' equipment..."

Shi Bie muttered to himself, he was naturally a businessman from the Western Regions.

As for being a spy and helping to inquire about information, I am used to doing it. However, it is just a side job.

The businessman has a low status, but the businessman who can help inquire about information has a much higher status.

Originally, this history did not rely on back and forth to find out the news, and had a good relationship with the Later Qin. The Later Qin Kingdom had a population of millions and occupied the land of Guanzhong. It sent troops to Ganlong and faced the Western Regions.

Such a great country is naturally a favor. However, as a businessman in Shu, Shiba quickly discovered greater business opportunities.

Three days later, Shiba finally had the opportunity to enter the Han Palace.

The palace is not big, but it was renovated by the prefect's mansion. Basically, there was no big move, and the situation seemed to be much smaller.

However, since Liu Shengzhi did not intend to stay here for a long time, the size of the palace is no longer important.

"This Han king also looks like an ambitious person. Along the way, the army and horses are strong and well-equipped. I don't know how much money it will cost. But this palace is just sloppy..."

I thought to myself that for Shi Bey, the knowledgeable businessman, he had a little more respect for Liu Shengzhi.

I entered a not-too-large side hall and saw a young-looking king standing here in casual clothes.

But at the next glance, there was another heavy pressure that pressed him over, making him dizzy and almost unable to stand up. His legs were fighting directly, as if he wanted to kneel down on the ground at any time.

Fortunately, at this time, the amulet in Shi Bee's neck flashed.

But he had already seen Liu Shengzhi say in surprise: "Zoroastrianism!"

"Yes, I am Shibian from Shanshan, the Western Regions. I believe in God of Light. I didn't expect that the King of Han also knew about my teaching..."

That Shibian already knew that Liu Sheng was powerful and said humbly.

Liu Shengzhi refused to comment, but he did not expect that at this time, when Buddhism had just been introduced to Middle-earth and had not yet been completely localized, he saw people from Zoroastrianism appear.

However, it is not surprising. There have always been business exchanges between Shu and Longyou. There are many people in the Western Regions who believe in Zoropause, especially in the Western Regions. The Bento Hu Shang. It is not surprising to see someone who believes in Zoropause in this way.

"Where are the Burmese Iron you mentioned?" Liu Shengzhi asked lightly.

"Here!" Shi Bi slapped his hands and walked in with five large boxes.

Each box is open, but it is neatly stacked with steel ingots.

Liu Shengzhi took out a piece curiously and looked carefully. This so-called Burmese iron is the famous Uz steel that later generations boasted about, which is the so-called Damascus steel. It is the sharpest used to cast weapons.

Legend has it that this kind of steel has natural and beautiful patterns. Because of the composition of the steel, very tiny serrated teeth are formed at the edges.

This is similar to the Bailian Steel in Middle Earth, and it also has beautiful patterns. However, the Bailian Steel in Middle Earth is folded and forged again and again. Although steel is produced, the internal stress and other structure have been destroyed, but it becomes brittle and easy to break.

However, this Uz steel is naturally generated. It originally came from the Uz region of Tianzhu, but it is often sold to Damascus, so it was misunderstood by Westerners as Damascus steel.

Even later, as the ore of Uzi Steel was mined cleanly, many blacksmiths tried various forging methods to imitate this Uzi Steel.

These things were just when Liu Shengzhi was busy making steel in Jiangzuo.

At this moment, I finally saw the real thing and felt a little curious.

However, he was an amateur after all. He couldn't see many tricks, so he planned to show the things to Bu Pengpeng. I think he would be interested.

"You sent me a gift, I like it very much. But I won't ask you for nothing. Say, I'll give you what you want!" Liu Shengzhi threw the steel ingot back into the box and said lightly.

Then Shibe showed a happy smile: "Every wise monarch will not like to let the merchants take out things for nothing. Because the merchants gave it once or twice, they may not come again in the future. And those stupid monarchs will no longer be able to buy what they like through the merchants in the future.

King of Han, you are a wise monarch. I want to get Shu brocade and iron tools from you..."

When Liu Shengzhi heard this, he frowned slightly. Since Zhuge Wuhou, the minister of Shu, vigorously developed Shu brocade, Shu brocade has become famous in the world.

In this era, they were still one of the most important goods and commodities in Shu. Even in later generations, they were still extremely famous!

Hanzhong and Shu are integrated, but there are naturally a large number of Shu brocades made here. They are very important commodities!

Therefore, it is not surprising that Liu Shengzhi wants to get Shu Jin. But this guy has become brave enough to dare to make a decision?

You know, before the age of hot weapons came, iron tools have always been strategic materials, so where could they be sold at will?

"Don't get it wrong, don't get it wrong... I won't sell it to Guanzhong. I went directly from Longyou to the Western Regions, where there are also wars and weapons..." Shi Bei explained hurriedly.

"Iron tools cannot be exported." Liu Shengzhi refused flatly, but then said: "Shu brocade is OK. Other goods, as long as they are not violated, you can buy and sell them."
