When Zhao Ji wrote what he knew about the converter steelmaking method on rice paper, and then drew what he knew about the shape and labeling of the converter, he looked at the wet ink, which looked very much like drawings in modern society.

After the ink on the drawing of the converter steelmaking method was dry, Zhao Ji ordered the eunuch to hand it over to Cao Fu.

After the censor Cao Fu took over the drawings from Zhao Guan's family, he was completely confused. The pictures on the drawings of the converter steelmaking method were very vivid, and he knew all the words, but when they were put together, he, a Jinshi and the third

A talented man, but he can’t understand it.

Zhao Ji relied on the words of gods and said: "I was in a dream last night. Fortunately, gods gave me advice on how to make steel in a converter.

Today, I will draw the converter steelmaking method on rice paper, and ask Cao Yushi to find dozens of old craftsmen who are skilled in iron and steelmaking when he inspects the steel forging workshop, and let them imitate the converter steelmaking method I obtained.

Method, build a furnace and try it out.

When steelmaking is first tried, the furnace does not need to be too large, and the amount of steel to be refined does not need to be too much. The main thing is to see if it can work?

If you try it once or dozens of times, if it fails, you can try it thousands of times until you succeed."

"I, Cao Fu, obey the decree."

After receiving the order, Cao Fu secretly muttered in his heart: Zhao Guan's family has really changed their minds now. Even when they dream at night, they are thinking about state affairs. Although, Cao Fu, I don't know if the converter steelmaking method proposed by Zhao Guan's family is feasible.

, but it is much better for the Zhao Guan family to put their thoughts on this than for the Guan family to devote all their thoughts to seeking Taoism and cultivating immortality as before.

Steelmaking was Cao Fu's blind spot in knowledge, and he did not dare to criticize what he did not understand.

Cao Fu was still a very open-minded scholar-bureaucrat. He felt that it was much better for the Zhao Guan family to spend a small amount of money to experiment and improve the steel-making method than to spend a lot of financial, material and manpower to build Genyue.

Censor Cao Fu didn't know how much benefit the converter steelmaking method he took over from Zhao Guan's family would bring to the Song Dynasty's military and agricultural production in the future.

Cao Fu kowtowed again and apologized: "I will do my best to complete the errands entrusted to me by the officials.

However, if I offend the emperor, please ask the officials to punish me."

Zhao Ji knew that Cao Fu was apologizing for accidentally tearing off the sleeve of my robe.

Zhao Ji glanced at the crimson gauze robe he was wearing, and saw that a piece of his right robe sleeve was broken by Cao Fu.

He lamented how could the emperor's crimson gauze robe be so weak?

After careful consideration, his previous owner, Song Huizong, mainly wore Taoist robes for more than ten years because of his belief in Taoism.

The original owner of Zhao Ji had not worn this crimson gauze robe for more than ten years, so the sleeves could be ripped off so easily.

Zhao Ji knew that the crimson gauze robe was worn by the emperor of the Song Dynasty on more formal occasions, second only to the crown robe that he needed to wear on the most solemn occasions.

Zhao Ji said to Cao Fu: "As a minister, Cao Fu, it is obviously your fault to tear off the sleeves of my crimson robe. However, I am generous and virtuous, so I will spare you the crime this time.

Go back quickly and do the errands assigned to you!"

Censor Cao Fu burst into tears with gratitude, kowtowed again, said goodbye to Zhao Guan's family, led a staff and a weapon craftsman, and went to complete the errands assigned to him by Zhao Guan's family...

……

At this time, the chamberlain eunuch was holding the piece of the sleeve that was torn off by Cao Fu. He didn't know what to say or what to do. He just waited for Zhao Guan's family to say whether he should throw away the sleeve or send it back to the palace.

How about asking the palace maid to sew it up?

Zhao Ji smiled slightly, thought carefully, and said: "Get off and drive to Longde Palace."

"According to the decree."

The imperial chariot of Zhao Guan's family went to Yongde Palace.

The eunuchs and maids accompanying the imperial chariot naturally knew that the current Longde Palace was occupied by Zhenjun Wenyi and Li Shishi and his apprentice. They each secretly guessed the purpose of Zhao Guan's family going to Longde Palace in the evening.

……

However, they can only guess in their minds whether a person dares to look strange or criticize himself.

The palace is divided into the front courtyard and the harem.

In the front yard of the palace, there are several halls. For example, the main hall of the palace is called Daqing Hall, where grand ceremonies are held.

To the south of the Daqing Hall was the office of the Northern Song Dynasty officials, and there was a gate tower between them.

To the north of the Daqing Hall is the Zichen Hall, which is the front hall where the emperor attends court. The monthly court meeting, the congratulations at the completion of the suburban temple ceremony, and the reception of Khitan envoys are all held in the Zichen Hall.

The Chui Gong Hall on the west side of Daqing Hall is where the emperor listens to government affairs on weekdays.

The Wende Hall between Zichen and vertical arches is where the emperor stopped and rested before going to court and after retreating from court.

The above halls are all in the front yard of the palace. The front yard of the palace can be entered by ministers when they have an audience.

However,

In the harem, apart from the underage prince, there is only one man: the emperor. Even the personal officers (soldiers) of the Imperial City Department and the imperial guards cannot enter the harem.

Even the biological fathers and brothers of the queen and concubines are absolutely not allowed to enter the harem. Not to mention the emperor's brothers and princes, they cannot even enter the harem...

So, who will do the work of the porter of the harem and the guards of each palace? It can only be done by eunuchs who are not men.

This is also a strict precaution taken by emperors of all dynasties to ensure that they will not be cheated and that the blood of the royal heirs will be absolutely pure.

…………

Zhenjun Wenyi and Li Shishi were arranged by Zhao Ji to stay temporarily in Longde Palace in the harem.

The small pond, pavilion, pavilion, terrace and other scenery in front of Longde Palace.

Zhao Ji, along with more than 20 eunuchs and maids, stopped the dragon chariot in front of Longde Palace.

The eunuch shouted loudly: "Master and disciple of Zhenjun Wenyi from Longde Palace, come and pick us up!"

Cao Wenyi and Li Shishi came out of Longde Palace and greeted them...

Zhao Ji looked at the fair-haired and childlike Wen Yi Zhenjun, and even suspected that her centenarian age was false.

Zhao Jidao: "Zhenjun Wenyi, how have you been treating Concubine Wang Xian and other concubines in the past few days?"

Cao Wenyi said: "Wang Xianfei's illness is almost cured..."

Zhao Ji glanced at the alluring beauty Li Shishi behind Zhenjun Wen Yi.

I saw Master Li bowing his head in shame and saying nothing.

Zhao Ji thought that maybe there were more than 20 eunuchs and maids accompanying me here, and Master Li's master Wen Yi Zhenjun was also in front of her. Therefore, when this little girl saw me, she was far from the person I was in the Fan Tower.

When he met her as a wealthy businessman, Master Li acted so lively...

Zhao Ji said to Cao Wenyi: "Mr. Wen Yi is profound in Taoism and has superb medical skills. I am very grateful to you for curing Concubine Wang Xian's illness for me.

However, Concubine Wang Xian is almost cured of her illness;

Isn’t this still recovering?

Lord Wenyi, please move on and pay another visit to Concubine Wang Xian for me, and spend more time with Concubine Wang Xian.

"I obey the decree." Cao Wenyi said, she was ready to go with the two eunuchs and two maids appointed by Zhao Ji to visit Concubine Wang Xian...

Cao Wenyi, who has lived for a hundred years, has seen too many wind flowers and snowy moons in the world. Although she believed in being unmarried her whole life, she was older and had seen more. Naturally, she knew the purpose of Zhao Guan's family to send her away.

That purpose is that Zhao Guan's family wants to enjoy their little world alone with Li Shishi, the former oiran who has just become her disciple...

"Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!" Cao Wenyi gave a Dharma name, dusted off the dust, and said to Master Li: "I am going to be a teacher, and the disciples should take care of themselves."

Cao Wenyi said this to remind Master Li to remember what he said before becoming a teacher: the easier it is to get a man, the less he cherishes it...

Master Li hurriedly said: "Disciple, will you also accompany the master?"

"Uh?!" Zhao Ji was a little unhappy. What the hell, the main reason I came to Longde Palace was to find you, Master Li. But you want to leave me alone here and accompany your master to visit Concubine Wang Xian?

Hasn’t my “golden house hidden beauty” been exposed?

Damn it, Master Li, you, a beautiful female Taoist priest like you, will compare the beauty of the Sixth Palace to nothing. In that case, my concubines in the harem will become suspicious, and my queen may come to question me...

…

Thinking of this, before Zhenjun Wen Yi could express his stance, Zhao Ji put on a serious face and said:

"I'm looking for Li Taizhen because he has a way, and I want to study it!"

Before that, Zhao Ji paid homage to Li Shishi, a disciple of Lord Wen Yizhen, and gave him the name Li Taizhen.

Master Li's pretty face turned red. She did not dare to reject Zhao Guanjia, nor did she express her position immediately. She looked at her master Wen Yi Zhenjun.

Cao Wenyi nodded and said: "I will go alone as a teacher, while Taizhen's disciples will stay and study Taoism with the officials!"

Master Li nodded and said, "Disciple, I obey."

Accompanied and guided by two eunuchs and two palace ladies, Cao Wenyi went to visit Concubine Wang Xian...

Master Li, who was wearing a Taoist robe, felt slightly embarrassed.

Zhao Ji said to the accompanying eunuchs and maids: "You guys stay outside Longde Palace."

Then, he took the red-edged and black-edged right sleeve that had been torn off by the censor Cao Fu from the hand of the eunuch, and waved it in front of Master Li.

Li Shishi asked in confusion: "Guan family, why?"

Zhao Ji did not directly answer Li Shishi's question, but picked up her catkins and said:

"After you and I enter Longde Palace, we will discuss this matter in detail."
