Duan Shang Shao laughed at Long Qian Xing's words. He nodded. "It's all thanks for your support, Young Master Long."
In the beginning, this city was already quite famous because of their blacksmithing skills. But there were many people in blacksmith field and Duan Shang Shao was only one of them.
Moreover, his father was a general and there were so people who felt that he was just wasting his ti.
After all, between becoming a soldier and becoming a blacksmith, becoming a soldier was much more honorable. If other people could, they would want to beco a soldier instead of staying in this hot blacksmithing room.
But Duan Shang Shao refused his father's arrangent.
He chose to learn blacksmithing for years and opened his own store. Before Long Qian Xing gave order to him to make weapons and then Nan Hua under her disguise asked for a lot of traps, Duan Shang Shao could only be considered an ordinary blacksmith.
After this matter, his na started to beco famous and many people ca to him because of his skills.
Later on, even the military ca forward.
Of course, Duan Shang Shao chose to work with the military and provided the military with the best equipnt that he could make. There were also many people working under him and beco his disciples.
Duan Shang Shao had to say that he has beco a successful person right now.
"Your skills are good." Long Qian Xing shook his head.
When he walked around Da Yi City back then, he could see that Duan Shang Shao's skills were really good. Because of that, he was willing to use Duan Shang Shao to help him forge so weapons that he needed.
Duan Shang Shao smiled. "Does Young Master has any order?"
If Long Qian Xing has anything that he wanted him to make, Duan Shang Shao would prioritize Long Qian Xing's order first.
"I don't have any request for the ti being." Long Qian Xing shook his head.
The request from the military would also distribute weapons for his army, so Long Qian Xing was not worried about this. As one of the generals of Fei Yang Kingdom, Long Qian Xing naturally also has his own share.
There was no need for him to worry about not having weapons at all.
"I just want to ask about whether the military request has changed in the recent months."
The war with Fan Yi Kingdom and the demands for weapons had decreased. After all, the military has been equipped with weapons and the rest of the weapons ordered would be kept by the departnt under the Imperial Family.
Long Qian Xing knew that the request for weapons should have decreased.
"The request for this year has decreased by around 30%," Duan Shang Shao said slowly. He knew about this because as the blacksmith who received the most order from the military, he was able to receive insider information.
For this reason, he knew very well that there was no longer any need for so many weapons for Fei Yang Kingdom.
"I see." Long Qian Xing nodded, not surprised. "Do they change the request for other things aside from weapons?"
"Yes." Duan Shang Shao nodded helplessly. "There are so utensil's request and the shapes are full of various innovation."
He could only say that these nobles were really asking a lot. They wanted to make their lives more convenient, so various structures ca up and then handed over to Duan Shang Shao.
As for whether Duan Shang Shao could make it or not…
It was not their business.
"Oh? Can I see?"
"Yes, Young Master."
Afterwards, Long Qian Xing looked at the piles of leather skins that has various drawings and his lips twitched.
He could understand why Duan Shang Shao looked helpless now.
"Do you have to make these?"
"They paid a lot."
Understood.
Long Qian Xing nodded in understanding and sighed to himself.
If there was anyone who paid a lot for these things, then Duan Shang Shao would have to grit his teeth and made it even if he didn't understand what it was used for.
Anyway, his skills were good enough.
Nan Hua also looked at these things and then looked away, not interested in it any longer.
She felt that the people in this era has quite a lot of imagination too. But probably the one that she felt most deeply was the fact that there was soone who asked to make iron chopsticks.
Does the bamboo chopsticks they had are not enough?
Do they not think that the iron chopsticks would feel hot to touch?
Anyway, Nan Hua pushed the thoughts away after seeing these things once.
Long Qian Xing sighed and then asked, "How's General Duan's situation?"
General Duan should be the leader of Da Yi City because of his contribution. Even if he was no longer a general, but he could be called a governor or even a minister because he was now working for Da Yi City more than leading soldiers to fight.
"Father is doing well." Duan Shang Shao smiled.
His father did feel conflicted when he chose to defect to Fei Yang Kingdom in the past. But soon, he was able to co into terms with it and no longer feel bothered with this matter.
It could be said that he adjusted his state of mind very quickly.
Duan Shang Shao felt that it was good.
"How about your brother?" Long Qian Xing rembered that Duan Shang Shao has an older brother who was the most resistant to switching side to Fei Yang Kingdom.
"He's doing well." Duan Shang Shao thought for a mont and then shrugged. "I don't see him much because our relationship is not good, but he won't die. He still can feed his family from what I know."
There were conflicts between the two brothers and Duan Shang Shao didn't care too much about what his brother was doing. For him, it was enough to know that his brother was still alive and living well.
