"Heavy cavalry, Longxiong Army?" Le Yi felt excited when he heard Zhao He's words.

Master, this is to reuse yourself.

Leading one army by yourself, and not in wartime, it is a standing army.

Looking at the entire Zhao State, this is unique.

Le Yi fell to the ground directly: "What kind of virtue is merit? Let the king love so much. I will do my best to repay the king's kindness!"

Zhao He laughed, helped Le Yi up, and said sincerely: "General Le Yi, in the future, you and me will create a great prosperous era!"

Le Cheng's head quietly emerged from the palace door again. Looking at this scene, he felt moved.

"I, Le Cheng, when will I be appreciated by the king like my uncle?"

Suddenly, a small stone came towards me, and the middle of Le was on his forehead.

Le Cheng felt pain and looked in the direction where the stone was thrown, but saw Miao Xian staring at him fiercely.

Le Cheng was furious: "This Miao Xian will beat him one day and let him know what the mighty of a warrior is!"

Immediately, Le Cheng was a little confused again.

Where did Miao Xian get the pebbles?

At this moment, Zhao He took Le Yi out.

"Prepare the carriage and horses, go to the workshop!"

Unlike later cities, the main structure in Handan today is centered on fang and city.

The workshop is divided into various handicraft workshops and is for ordinary people to live in.

The market means the market.

The one Zhao He brought Le Yi was the official smelting workshop of Zhao State.

As we all know, the late Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period was an era when bronze ware was gradually replaced by iron ware.

But among the princes, the speed of this replacement is also different.

For example, the Three Jin (Zhao Han and Wei) adapted to this rhythm very quickly, and now the bronze weapons have basically been completely eliminated.

But there are also aliens like Qin who still mainly use bronze weapons until they unified the world.

At this moment, many craftsmen were busy in the workshop, and a wave of heat came towards us.

Wherever you see, there are many high furnaces. These conical iron-smelting vertical furnaces have several blowing vents on them. The blowing equipment is a large pocket made of cowhide, called "天", and the blowing duct connecting the 天 and the vertical furnace is called "天".

Through the shaving, a large amount of oxygen can be sent into the iron smelting furnace, thereby increasing the temperature of the charcoal fire and melting the iron ore in the furnace.

However, due to the immature technology, the iron blocks produced are spongy, with rough surfaces, and there are a lot of dregs. They need to be forged for a period of time before they can obtain iron blocks of higher purity, and then these blocks are used to make iron farm tools, weapons, etc.

The method of using this entire process to produce iron tools is called the "block refining method", which is the most common method of iron smelting in this era.

Zhao He stood in the workshop and smiled at Le Yi and said, "General Le Yi, do you know why I brought you here?"

Le Yi thought for a while and said, "Could it be related to the Longxiang Army?"

Zhao He smiled and said, "That's right, today, I'll show you the equipment used by the heavy cavalry of the Longxiang Army in the future."

Le Yi looked along the direction of Zhao He's finger and found a huge stove dozens of steps away, which was extremely conspicuous.

Since it is a heavy cavalry, steel armor is indispensable.

For this matter, Zhao He also ordered the smelting workshop to produce corresponding supporting measures some time in advance.

Today, it is the time when Zhao He comes to inspect and create heavy armor for steel cavalry.

With steel armor, heavy cavalry that swept the world in the era of cold weapons can be born a thousand years ahead of schedule!

...

Just as Zhao He was ambitiously preparing to start the first steelmaking test, something was happening in the palace city of Handan.

"What, the king went to the smelting workshop?"

Zhao Guoxiangbang Feiyi's face was not very good.

Since the Zhao State has recently annexed Zhongshan and Shangdang, hundreds of thousands of subjects under its rule have suddenly increased, and many complicated matters have followed. Fei Yi has to come to Longtai almost every day to discuss state affairs with Zhao He.

As a result, the king has now left the state affairs and went to the smelting workshop?

Fei Yi was silent for a while, sighed, turned around and left.

Forget it, for young people, it is normal for them to not do their jobs occasionally.

Fei Yi had just taken two steps and met the Censor Xinqi head-on.

The two of them greeted each other. Xinqi glanced at the basket of memorials following Fei Yi and said curiously: "Is Fei Xiang here to discuss matters with the king?"

Fei Yi nodded: "The king seems to have gone to the smelting workshop. I am going to come again tomorrow. By the way, the censor came here. Could it be that the Lord's Father has something to do?"

The Censor Xinqi belongs to the role of secretary-general of the Lord's Father.

Xinqi nodded and said, "Yes, the Lord's father wants to discuss some of the matters about the wedding. However, if the king is not here, there is nothing he can do."

Fei Yi's heart moved and said, "Since that's the case, then I will go with the censor and ask the Lord Father for these matters."

Fei Yi felt that it was not a big deal for him to run around and make trouble.

Anyway, it’s all a family, and the king is not going to let the master’s father make a decision, so it’s OK.

After a while, the two arrived at the side hall of Xingong.

A sound of reading came.

"Xia, Jun's family died, and they were sons. They did not go to the princes, cried and slept, and did not get married to the aunt, so they did not say they died. They did not call themselves a wife, so they did not say they were buried, and they did not write their surnames. For the sake of Duke, they were called "Jun's family". Duke Wu of Zheng and Duke Zhuang were the princesses of Pingwangqing..."

Fei Yi and Xinqi looked at each other and realized that this was a passage in "Zuo Zhuan".

When I walked into the hall, I found that the person who was reciting the article was Zhao Sheng, the young master, who was reading the book, and the master was sitting on the top of the house reading, with a ring board next to the table.

Fei Yi subconsciously glanced at Zhao Sheng's hand, and indeed saw a little redness and swelling on the back of his right hand.

"The Lord, father, teaches son, is indeed strict..."

While feeling in his heart, Fei Yi bowed to the Lord’s Father: "The old minister Fei Yi has met the Lord’s Father."

The master father put down the Shujian in his hand and looked at Fei Yi in surprise: "Why is Fei Xiang coming today?"

Since the Lord's father handed over all the internal affairs to Zhao He, the number of times the monarch and ministers met was much less than before.

Fei Yi smiled and said, "The king is not here today, so there are some urgent matters here, so I can only trouble my father."

The Lord's Father was a little surprised and said, "Where has the king gone?"

Fei Yi said: "I heard that I went to the smelting workshop."

The Lord Father frowned and said, "Why is the king of a dignified country going to that workshop place? It's just a mess!"

The ranks of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce and craftsmen were quite low in this era.

Fei Yi said: "The old minister doesn't know either. However, since the thunder and saddles and other objects were studied by the King, I believe the King should be interested in these aspects."

The Lord Father snorted heavily and said, "For the king of the country, we should take governing the country first. If we try to tinker with these instruments all day long, we will lose the worst!"

The Lord's father no longer involved this aspect, but took charge of government affairs with Fei Yi.

During this period, Pingyuan Jun was studying and reciting carefully. Occasionally, he misreaded the questions of his father or couldn't answer the questions of the master's father, and he would eat a few times, which made the boy cry.

Half an hour later, all government affairs were handled. Fei Yi was about to say goodbye and leave, but was stopped by his master's father.
