Lu Chen took Li Daozong's sword. At this time, Lu Chen was holding the Bailian Sword in his left hand and Shi Feng's Tang Dao in his right hand. There were two weapons in his hands, one black and one white.
"Everyone, give in a little bit, it will be bad if I hurt you!" Lu Chen said with a smile.
The onlookers' civil and military officials consciously moved out of the circle, while Chai Shao stood directly in front of Li Xiuning. Two generals also stood in front of Li Yuan, protecting Li Yuan.
Seeing that the situation was cleared, Lu Chen picked up the Tang Dao in his left hand and struck down the Bailian Sword in his right hand. The crisp sound of the weapons clashing was heard, and with a "clang", half of the Bailian Sword was seen. The tip of the sword fell directly into the dust, but the Tang Dao in Lu Chen's left hand was intact, with no sign of curling. It gave people the impression that the Tang Dao had just cut a piece of tofu instead of the Hundred Refined Sword. .
"Hiss!" When everyone saw the scene in front of them, they took a breath of cold air. These people thought that if the Tang Dao could cut through the Bailian Sword, even if the Tang Dao could cut through the Bailian Sword, it would still hurt the enemy. The situation of losing one thousand to eight hundred. After all, Bailian Steel is already the best material for casting weapons in this era, but the Bailian Sword made of such materials was actually made by Lu Chen using "fine steel" The Tang Dao was cut off like tofu, how could this group of people not be shocked.
"Let me take a look!" Li Yuan was the founding emperor after all. He was slightly shocked, and then immediately returned to normal. He waved directly to Lu Chen and motioned to show him the Tang Dao.
"Your Majesty, please take a look!" Lu Chen respectfully presented the Tang Dao to Li Yuan with both hands. Li Yuan was not polite and directly took the Tang Dao in his hand and observed it carefully.
"What a knife!" Li Yuan praised Tang Dao directly after finding that it was intact. "Does this knife have a name?" Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen and asked.
"This sword was made by the Tang Dynasty, so I boldly named it 'Tang Dao'!" Lu Chen saluted Li Yuan and said.
Speaking of "Tang Dao", many people have a misunderstanding, thinking that "Tang Hengdao" is Tang Dao. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. In fact, "Tang Dao" is a general term for the four saber systems of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, including Yi Dao, Zhan Dao, Heng Dao, and Mo Dao were not widely used in the Sui Dynasty, but gradually became popular in the army in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, these four sabers are collectively called " Tang Dao".
But now, Lu Chen directly calls the "Black Tang Dao" he created "Tang Dao", which can be regarded as directly taking over the name.
"Tang Dao?" Li Yuan looked at the Tang Dao in his hand, his eyes full of affection, because this was a weapon that appeared for the first time in Lu Chen's place, and it can be said to be a unique long knife of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, Lu Chen said that this sword was made for the Tang Dynasty, which made Li Yuan extremely happy. "Okay! This sword will be called Tang Dao from now on!" Li Yuan directly decided on the name.
Lu Chen's naming is nothing. At most, it means that this sword has such a name. But when Li Yuan decides on the name, the meaning is different. Li Yuan is the emperor, and his words are all golden. Since Li Yuan said that this sword is called "Tang Dao", then all long knives made according to this standard will be called "Tang Dao".
"Why are there symbols here?" At this moment, Li Yuan suddenly discovered that the place where the guard and the blade of Shi Feng's Tang sword meet were actually engraved with the three numbers "019", but Li Yuan didn't know Arabic numerals, so What symbol did he think it was? He looked at Lu Chen and asked directly.
"Your Majesty, this is the number!" Lu Chen pointed to the Arabic numerals and explained to Li Yuan, "Beiwei Guards implements a one-man-one-sword system. Each person's sword corresponds to his name. If this sword is lost, it belongs to that person. Responsibility! Weapons are the life of a soldier. If you lose your weapon, what is the difference between losing your life? Moreover, if this knife is lost and used to commit evil, there will be a clue to trace it!"
After Lu Chen said these words, the eyes of the generals on the side lit up, because Lu Chen provided a method of arsenal management!
"In addition, if the soldier holding the Tang Sword dies, then the sword will be sealed. If there is a descendant who inherits it, he can directly inherit the sword!" Lu Chen continued.
Good guy, Lu Chen not only used this "Tang Dao" as a management method, but also upgraded the "Tang Dao" to the level of family honor inheritance.
"Then what does this symbol...er...number mean?" Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction at Lu Chen's explanation, and Li Yuan also understood the meaning of what Lu Chen said.
"This represents Zero One Nine! In other words, Shi Feng is the nineteenth Beiwei Guard warrior who was given the Tang Sword!" Lu Chen explained to Li Yuan again.
"Oh! This digital recording method is very interesting!" Li Yuan looked at the three numbers "019" on the Tang knife and said with great interest, "Is this number also invented by Lu Aiqing?"
"That's right!" Lu Chen nodded, "I invented these numbers because I thought it was easier to write these numbers than us, so I used them!" Lu Chen and Li Yuan explained again.
Of course, the numbers invented in Tianzhu at this time were only one to three. It was not until the ninth century that the Arabs learned this kind of numbers and then introduced them to Europe, which were called "Arabic numerals".
"Looking at this painting, it is indeed much simpler than our recording method!" Li Yuan looked at the numbers on the Tang knife again, and nodded in agreement, "Is this kind of number possible?" Li Yuan looked at Lu Chen and asked, Seeing these simple numbers, Li Yuan suddenly remembered the account books of the Sixth Department. Every year at the end of the year, those account books required the master bookkeeper to calculate them for ten days and a half. Sometimes the calculations were wrong, and even Rework, now that the year-end accounting will start again in more than half a month, Li Yuan couldn't help but think of this matter.
"Of course!" Lu Chen nodded, "After the New Year, I will prepare to teach the children to learn these numbers in the school in Lujiazhuang!" Lu Chen directly told Li Yuan his plan to open a school after the New Year.
"In that case, I'm going to come over when the time comes to see what's so magical about the numbers created by Lu Aiqing!" Li Yuan knew that if he told Lu Chen at this time to ask the six departments to send people to learn this kind of numbers, Lu Aiqing would Chen may not refuse, but Li Yuan thought about it again, how could he learn arithmetic in just ten days? Those people had learned arithmetic for many years before they achieved the current results, so Li Yuan temporarily Although he had this idea, Li Yuan was still very interested in the numbers created by Lu Chen.
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty were good at this, as long as they could use anything useful to the country, and they were not murderous people. In the early Tang Dynasty, it was rare to hear of someone being "convicted for words" unless there was solid evidence. , the emperor would really punish the crime. If he was "convicted for his words", then Wei Zheng would have died hundreds of times.
"I will certainly welcome His Majesty when the time comes!" Upon hearing that Li Yuan was coming to the school, Lu Chen saluted directly to Li Yuan and said.
"That's right! This sword is No. 19. What about the first sword?" Li Yuan seemed to have remembered something and looked at Lu Chen with interest, "Lu Aiqing, didn't you build yourself a Tang sword? ?”
"Your Majesty, I did not make a Tang sword for myself!" Lu Chen glanced at Xiao Yu who was standing aside, and Xiao Yu's two falcon-like eyes stared at Lu after hearing Li Yuan's question. Chen, just wait for Lu Chen to say that the "No. 1 Tang Sword" is in his own hand, then Xiao Yu will have an excuse to intervene with Lu Chen. Unfortunately, Lu Chen did not give him this opportunity at all and directly told Li Yuan, I didn't prepare Tang Dao for myself.
"Where is Tang Sword No. 1?" Xiao Yu interrupted anxiously and asked.
Li Yuan glared at Xiao Yu with some displeasure, while Lu Chen looked at Xiao Yu with a sneer.
"Master Xiao? You seem a little arrogant, don't you? Your Majesty is asking me, is it your turn to interrupt?" Lu Chen looked at Xiao Yu and said with a solemn face.
Lu Chen's words directly put the "no respect" hat on Xiao Yu's head, and Xiao Yu's eager intervention was indeed a bit disrespectful to Li Yuan.
"Your Majesty, I was just anxious for a moment and eager to see Tang Sword No. 1! I was quick to speak, and I hope your Majesty will forgive me!" Xiao Yu saluted Li Yuan directly and looked at Li Yuan with an uneasy look on his face.
"Xiao Aiqing has been a veteran for many years. I know your temperament! I forgive you!" Li Yuan looked at Xiao Yu's cautious and trembling look, and felt very comfortable in his heart. You must know that these aristocratic families are also in front of Li Yuan. Pretend, after going out, when you return home, who is not aloof and can make these aristocratic families suffer, Li Yuan is the most willing to see.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiao Yu saluted Li Yuan again, then closed his mouth and stood aside, but his face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water. He stared at Lu Chen, but Lu Chen fought back twice, leaving Xiao Yu His heart was getting more and more angry, and he was now staring at Lu Chen, waiting for Lu Chen to make a mistake, so that he could hit Lu Chen hard and vent the evil anger in his chest.
"Lu Aiqing, you haven't told me yet, where is this Tang Sword?" After dealing with Xiao Yu's matter, Li Yuan turned around and looked at Lu Chen with a smile.
"Your Majesty! Isn't Tang Sword No. 1 right here?" Lu Chen smiled and pointed in the distance, and saw General Bei Weiwei headed by Su Dingfang walking majestically in front, followed by the tall Feng Feng Holding a rectangular dark red brocade box in his arms, he was walking quickly towards the iron smelting workshop where Lu Chen was.
As a few people approached, everyone couldn't help but praise these generals when they saw the Weiwei guards. Not counting Fang Qi and Meng Ji, Su Dingfang and Du Junchuo were both good-looking. However, these four people were directly suppressed by Feng Huai who was holding the brocade box.
