The blades of weapons nowadays are relatively simple, so they are very easy to bend. The reason why we lost so many lives in the wars with the barbarians in recent years is because the weapons were not good enough. After fighting for a while, the weapons turned into wooden sticks and could not kill people.

Even her father-in-law was eyeing this fine steel. Not only did he replace all the weapons in his team, but he also replaced them all with swords made of fine steel. These swords were very sharp and would not be easily chipped. Even if they were chopped with ordinary steel, the blades would not bend easily, which made her father-in-law very happy.

Yu Xiuming only replaced his own secret guards' weapons, and did not replace the others at all. Even these things were only used on the ship, so that they could ensure their safety during their time at sea.

Even the carriage they were riding in was redesigned, with safety windows that opened and closed. After all, they had been robbed and murdered before, and there were many people who wanted them dead.

City Lord Yu was so happy that he almost walked with a limp. Although these weapons were not as good as those in the hands of his son's secret guards, they were much better than their previous ones. It seemed that since his son got married, he walked with the wind every day.

It not only solved the food problem of the people in the city, but also solved the problem of the damaged weapons of the soldiers outside the city. Because the emperor had always been afraid of him, the weapons of his soldiers were always defective, and even the silver might not be distributed on time. All of this was made up by the City Lord Yu himself, otherwise these people under his command would have run away long ago. The reason why he did not obey the military order and only recognized people was that he paid a heavy price.

Besides, the reason they joined the army was just to make achievements or to stay alive. If they died on the battlefield, they would have no regrets. But now there is no war, and most of the deaths were caused by their own people. It makes him feel upset when he thinks about it. You know, he would not hesitate to take away those scrap metals even if they were given to him. Now they are finally equipped with weapons, how can he not be happy? He said that he couldn't see that the royal family was in trouble now, and he didn't want to be dragged into it. They are close to the sea, and there are still many pirates. Every time he sees people die because of the failure of weapons, he always hates it. The pensions for those families are also paid from his own account.

But it was just right, because of City Lord Yu's sincerity, the people under his command became more united, which made the emperor, who did it on purpose, somewhat unhappy, but he had no way to say anything and could only accept the matter. At the same time, he found out that the people among the soldiers had rebelled. City Lord Yu was a chivalrous man. Even if the court could not pay the salary, he would find a way to get some out, and then find a way to make up the rest, otherwise Jizhou City would have been stable for so many years.

After studying steel, Yu Xiuming continued to study other things, especially some ancient books, which he was very interested in. These things were secretly copied by Wang Shiyu from his grandfather's things. These things were not just the accumulation of the Zhang family for hundreds of years.

There are also many things from the previous dynasty. You should know that after this dynasty was established, many things from the previous dynasty were destroyed. This is because the Zhang family, who were born into a military family, and because they have been on the front line, were able to preserve some books, and all these books were bought by Wang Shiyu. These are all treasures. You should know that these things are rarely seen among the people. They are basically in the aristocratic families and are even listed as banned books. Everything that can be destroyed has been destroyed. There is nothing left at all. Even if there are some left, who would dare to take them out?

Finally, Wang Shiyu gave all the copies to Yu Xiuming and asked him to read them himself. In fact, there was nothing else in it, just some things from the previous dynasty like Confucianism, or some theories that were inconsistent with the theories of this dynasty. There was also the issue of filial piety. This dynasty governs the country with filial piety, but this filial piety is directly placed on women, making them unable to raise their heads. Wang Shiyu looked down on such filial piety. How come your parents, Shenglin, finally outsourced filial piety when they married a wife? They are really not human.

When a woman gets married, if her family has some means, they will prepare everything the woman will need throughout her life, whether it is food, clothing, housing, transportation, or even the final coffin, which shows that they are not oppressed by their husband's family. There were several female prime ministers in the previous dynasty, but now, women are oppressed in the backyard and fight for life and death, which is very frustrating to watch.

Sometimes Yu Xiuming wanted to laugh when he saw it. It was nothing more than a fig leaf that those who deceived the world and stole fame pulled for themselves to save face. Everyone knew that when this dynasty was established, the founding emperor was almost dragged down by his own sister, and in the end he ruled the country by filial piety. It was really disgusting.

Because the emperor's sister was married off directly by the emperor's parents, and then brainwashed them into thinking that outsiders should not be given the privilege, this allowed the founding emperor to successfully ascend the throne, and as a result, they began to suppress women.

Our dynasty was worried that these things would brainwash the world, so they were all burned directly. The rest were secretly hidden, and even hidden from everyone. I just don’t know how these things ended up in the dowry. After all, the dowry list was also registered, but the regent didn’t deal with it directly for so many years, which is quite interesting. He even gave it directly to Wang Huan. Yu Xiuming didn’t believe that there was no calculation in this.

Before, because Wang Shiyu was illiterate, she didn't know what these things were, so she just copied a copy in her own space. These papers could not be seen by outsiders. It was because Yu Xiuming had been reading various travel books that Wang Shiyu remembered these things and took them out.

So in order to be able to look at it at any time, Yu Xiuming directly copied another copy by hand, and asked Wang Shiyu to put the rest into the space and destroy them. The main reason was that the paper Wang Shiyu took out was different from the current paper, and this kind of copying technology did not exist now.

In order to prevent Wang Shiyu from getting into trouble, he would rather re-copy it himself and hide these things, rather than let those things that do not belong to the present appear. Now he does not have such ability. Even the printing of books is directly engraved. There is not even movable type printing technology. Books are extremely expensive.

At the same time, he also went directly to Jeju Island according to the directions provided by Wang Shiyu, dug out the things that the Zhang family secretly stored in Jeju Island, and sent them back home. Even the Zhang family did not dare to sell these things directly, otherwise they would be very close to death.

However, due to improper storage and prolonged immersion in sea water, the books inside have been damaged and the handwriting inside has disappeared. Yu Xiuming felt very distressed when he saw it, because these are all original books and are excellent treasures.
