Weapon Forging Shop.
Located in the southern part of the outer city.
As Jiang Ning approached, he heard the clang and clatter of iron being hammered.
The Weapon Forging Shop was large and its doors were wide.
Standing at the entrance of the Weapon Forging Shop, one could hear the sounds of various fine irons being forged in the backyard.
Jiang Ning had some understanding of the Weapon Forging Shop.
He knew that whether it was the standard long sabers of the government office constables or the standard weapons of the city gate officials, they all came from the Weapon Forging Shop.
Therefore, the Weapon Forging Shop had many workers; many common families, in order to ensure their descendants had a trade to make a living, often sold them to the Weapon Forging Shop as servants at the age of twelve or thirteen.
After three years of odd jobs and three years of assistant work, one could then learn the craft.
This was the normal path for the growth of a qualified weapon-smith.
