……
The emperor personally decreed that the news of holding the world's number one blacksmith competition spread throughout the world within a few days.
Hearing the news, not only the blacksmiths of the Great Song Dynasty, but also the blacksmiths of the Kingdom of Jin were overwhelmed with excitement, packed their bags and headed to Lin'an for the competition.
As Zhao Kuo said, people live in the world and fight for nothing more than fame and fortune. Now that the royal family of Song Dynasty has given blacksmiths all over the world a chance to compete for fame and fortune, how can these folk blacksmiths not be tempted?
If you win, you will honor your ancestors, and if you lose, you can exchange skills.The sale of two birds with one stone, no one wants to be absent.

Chapter 182
Kingdom of Jin, Prince Zhao's Mansion.
Wanyan Honglie looked at the information presented, his eyes were full of doubts: "What the hell is this Zhao doing?"
The world's number one blacksmith conference?What is the best in the world for a group of blacksmiths?What is the use?At most, the quality of the ironware made is a little higher, but let alone one blacksmith, even if there are a hundred blacksmiths who can make high-quality weapons, it will have no effect on a war.
As long as there are enough weapons, magical weapons can cut people to death, and ordinary swords can also kill people. What's more, cavalry is the strongest on the battlefield. As long as there are enough horses and cavalry, even if the opponent is equipped with magical weapons, or even the number An infantry force three times the size of one's own is no match for a cavalry charge.
So Wanyan Honglie couldn't figure it out, he couldn't figure out what the hell Zhao Kuo was doing?
Not to mention him, even many dignitaries in Song Dynasty couldn't figure out why Zhao Kuo would engage in such a boring game.Is it because you are getting old, feel that life is boring, and want to do something fun to relieve boredom?
"father."
A handsome young man in brocade clothes walked in.
Seeing him, Wanyan Honglie smiled all over his face: "Kang'er is here, where did you go today?"
"The boy didn't go to play, but has been practicing martial arts." The boy said.
"Haha, Kang'er has really grown up and knows how to make progress." Wanyan Honglie was very pleased: "However, stretching and relaxing is the way of civil and martial arts. Don't practice to damage your body."
"My son understands." The young man nodded, and then asked: "When I entered the door, my son saw that my father was frowning, but is there something bothering you?"
"Nothing bothering me, just a little puzzled." Wanyan Honglie handed the information to the boy.
After the teenager watched it, he also showed doubts: "The world's number one blacksmith conference? It's like a child's play."
"It's really a bit of a joke." Wanyan Honglie nodded, shook his head again, and said with a smile: "I don't want to think about that, the Song Kingdom is just a peaceful corner, he can do it if he wants to be the Taiping Emperor! Sooner or later, it will be annexed by my Jin Kingdom."
The young man said with a smile: "What Dad said is that my Dajin is invincible in the world, and sweeping the world is just around the corner."
Wanyan Honglie smiled slightly and said: "There is nothing important today, let's go and see your mother together!"
"it is good."
……
Lin'an, a blacksmith's shop.
Holding the forged kitchen knife, Ling Chi chopped a few bones and chopped a few pieces of firewood. Seeing that the blade had a little damage that was hard to see with the naked eye, he shook his head: "No."
"This...Young Master, this is not enough?" The blacksmith in the blacksmith shop refused to accept it: "Go and ask, who else has a kitchen knife that is sharper than this one?"
"It's really sharp and the quality is good, but it doesn't meet my requirements." Ling Chi threw him a piece of silver and said, "Stop talking nonsense, the silver is indispensable to you."
With silver, everything is easy to talk about.The blacksmith suddenly smiled: "Young master is really generous. If you are not satisfied, the younger one will help you build another one. This time, the younger one can be made with the god iron passed down from your ancestors, as long as you can afford the price."
"..." Ling Chi glanced at him, then turned and left.
"Hey? Young Master, Young Master, don't go!"
not to go?I really took my brother for a fool.If you don't leave, I can't help but smash your dog's head, what should I do?
……
This was already the last blacksmith shop. There were more than a dozen blacksmith shops. The quality of the kitchen knives made was good, but it was only good, and it was still far from his requirements.
"Fortunately, there is still a blacksmith competition." Ling Chi looked forward to the upcoming World's No. [-] Blacksmith Conference.Blacksmiths from all over the world gather together to learn their skills and compete for the ranking of the world's number one blacksmith. I believe he can find the one he is satisfied with.
Unknowingly, another 20 days passed, and there were only two days left before the opening of the blacksmith conference.
Today, the entire Lin'an Prefecture has gathered at least [-]% of the most skilled blacksmiths in the world.These blacksmiths were uniformly arranged to live in prisons, and the royal family was responsible for their board and lodging expenses, so these blacksmiths lived quite comfortably.
These blacksmiths are all the top masters in various places, and they are quite confident in their blacksmithing skills. However, after communicating with other blacksmiths these days, they found that there are still too many defects and shortcomings in their skills, which also made them put away. With a sense of pride, I am very humble to ask others for advice.
In exchange, their more prominent skills are also taught to others.Although only seven points were taught, but only six or seven points were obtained from asking for advice.This style of masters teaching apprentices to keep their skills is common throughout history.
Even so, the blacksmiths who learned from the strengths of all families have improved to varying degrees, and they have higher expectations for the upcoming blacksmith conference.
During this period, Zhao Kuo's hyperuricemia has been completely cured, and the gout stones that had grown up in just five or six days also melted automatically and were excreted through urine, while the bones eroded by uric acid were added to Lingchi Under it, it will grow back in a short period of time.
Now, Zhao Kuo's pain has completely disappeared, and his physical fitness has improved several times. Even with the passage of time, the white hair on his head has become less and less, and the wrinkles on his face have become lighter and lighter, showing the tendency of rejuvenating.
Everyone was surprised when they saw it.
Many civil servants who love to flatter even exclaimed: "Heaven auspiciously descends to Your Majesty!"
……
Ling Chi didn't want to pay attention to those things in the court, but he couldn't stand him living in the palace these days, so Zhao Kuo asked him to ask questions when he had nothing to do, which annoyed him: Don't be like this, okay?I want to cook.
After that, every time Zhao Kuo saw him, he would cook a few side dishes and sit and discuss with Zhao Kuo.
With Zhao Kuo's current physical condition, it is not a problem to live another three to fifty years.Out of this consideration, Ling Chi re-said some of the things he had said to Zhao Yun in the Condor World, even in more detail.
These days, his remarks in the palace to guide the world are recorded in the pens of the daily historians.Because there were too many earth-shattering remarks, Zhao Kuo was shocked countless times, and even said something like my ovary in an attempt to attract him.
"The emperor was joking, I'm just a cook." Ling Chi used this excuse to reject Zhao Kuo's solicitation several times, which made Zhao Kuo feel regretful again and again.
However, Huang Rong admired Ling Chi more and more, and felt that Uncle Ling was really cool, not only his talent impressed the emperor, but he was also not attracted by the emperor, he was simply the coolest man in the world.
Uncle Ling...
……
Such conversations continued until the night before the opening of the blacksmith conference.
That night, Ling Chi took out a huge world map, which was ten meters long when unfolded. On this map, mountains, rivers and rivers around the world could be seen very clearly, and detailed annotations were made.
"Your Majesty, please see."
Ling Chi pointed to a corner of the world map, and said, "This is the land of my Song Dynasty."
