Chapter 226: The Throne

"Who is your master?" Wei Litao asked.

"My master is a secretary of the sixth grade." The young man said in a loud voice.

Wei Litao's expression did not change when he heard this.

"What's your father's last name?"

"My father's surname is Yin."

Hearing this, Wei Litao suddenly understood, he belongs to the Yin family.

Before coming to Nantong, he had a clear understanding of the situation around Nantong.

A minor official in charge of the library in Nantong Mansion.

He has some skills in the capital, but in Nantong Mansion he is probably just an idle errand.

"Then why did I hear that the secretary was just a sixth-grade official, and how come your master has become a sixth-grade official?"

"I don't know whether your master is planning to fool the people, the Holy Emperor, or himself." After saying this, Wei Litao's tone became somewhat majestic.

Mr. Yin sat in the car and felt bad listening to the noise outside.

He quickly opened the curtain and got out of the car, looked around, and his eyes fell on the young man in front of him.

The aura around this man seemed to come from the military, and the boy waiting beside him was exactly the same.

He who comes from the military and knows his rank is not an ordinary soldier.

Second Master Yin hurriedly kicked away his servant, bowed his hands and bowed, "The servants at home are not sensible. I wonder if you are..."

Wei Litao curled his lips and accepted the gift calmly.

"My surname is Wei. I am an ordinary captain. I am the guardian of Baron Yun's family. What do you have to do with my master?" Wei Litao asked politely.

His Majesty sent him to Li'an to handle matters and take care of Baron Zhou Quan's family.

He pretended that he was the bodyguard of the Yun family, so there was nothing wrong with him.

After hearing this, Mr. Yin's legs immediately softened and he almost knelt down.

The captain is not an ordinary official, he is a fifth-rank captain! What’s more, the person in front of me is named Wei!

How could she serve as a nursing home for Yun Huachun in this remote and remote place?

Yun Huachun in the carriage naturally heard the noise.

"Dad, let Captain Wei handle it," Yuntao said.

She could clearly hear the arrogant voice of the young boy just now. He was probably an unpleasant guy.

"What do you want from my master?" Wei Litao asked, putting his hands behind his back and looking at the old man in front of him.

He is quite older and has more style.

"No... no..."

"fine?"

"I, I want to come and visit Baron Yun." Second Master Yin said.

"My master is not free today and has to travel far."

"Then...I won't bother you anymore. I'll come back another day..." Mr. Yin was trembling as he spoke.

"Then take your people and move away, don't stand in the middle of the road." Wei Litao ordered.

There are also some people in the Yin family who are above the imperial court, but they are just minor officials. When they heard that they were from the Wei family, they fawned over them tightly.

As for this little secretary in Nantong Mansion, I don't know where he got his confidence.

Maybe you think Lord Yun is a minor official?

Wei Litao thought.

If it had been in the past, he would have felt the same way.

But after receiving the order from the Holy One, Wei Litao believed that the Holy One was protecting Baron Yun.

The capital is a big dyeing vat, and Lord Yun's family is simple and simple, so they are not suitable to stay in this dyeing vat.

The method of casting iron was not thought up in the capital. Maybe Nantong is really a geomantic treasure.

Mr. Yin took his carriage away from the cement road and went to the muddy ground below.

The Yin family just stood there, watching a group of people walking out of the Yun family's yard.

Together with the soldiers stationed around, a large group of people walked for a long time before finishing.

There were even other soldiers and palace servants in eunuch uniforms in the courtyard, who closed the courtyard door.

Mr. Yin stood there, his face changing from red to white to blue, with various colors.

For a moment, I couldn't understand.

Isn't this just an ordinary academy?

Why are there so many guards inside?

Could it be that His Majesty's palace is here?

The Yun family didn't know what Erye Yin was thinking.

The road from Li'an to Nantong was built for a while, and with everyone's fast walking, it took seven or eight days to reach Li'an, which was much faster than Yuntao's last trip home.

However, during these seven or eight days, it was extremely difficult for Yuntao to sit in the carriage in a well-behaved manner.

A few days ago, she was still showing off in front of Xinlu and Xinrui, but later she couldn't bear it anymore and she couldn't lie down as comfortably as she wanted.

I don’t know if the two of them have too high professionalism. They didn’t say anything about Yuntao’s sitting posture. They only cared about whether Yuntao was tired.

He beat her shoulders and pinched her legs every day, which made Yun Tao strangely embarrassed.

After landing in Li'an, everyone made arrangements and hurried to the ironmaking workshop in Li'an.

There are many ironmaking places in Dajin, and they are found in every town. Many people buy ironware and go home to farm. Of course, this is limited to those with a lot of money at home.

Those who had no money continued to use wooden hoes and wooden plows.

Yuntao's task today is to take a group of people to visit the iron-making yard and see up close how iron is made.

When everyone got off the carriage outside the courtyard, they looked at the white smoke floating high in the sky above the courtyard, and from time to time the pleasant sound of iron tools clashing could be heard in the courtyard.

"This is a cast iron stove." Yuntao said, pointing to the stove.

It means throwing the iron with raw materials into it and calcining it. The iron is purified first, and then the iron is sent for forging.

Wei Litao looked at the pile of charcoal next to him, and his eyes lit up.

"Does this iron have to be burned with silver frost charcoal?" Wei Litao's tone was a little surprised.

Yuntao blinked, the name Yinshuang Tan sounded very expensive.

"I asked them to cut down trees and burn this." Yuntao said, taking a few steps forward and gesturing to the mound where the charcoal was burned.

"That's where the charcoal was burned. Do you want to see it, Master Wei?" Yuntao asked.

"Can you please lead the way, County Lord!"

Li'an has only a few cold days in winter, and it won't snow yet, so charcoal is not needed. The locals don't know much about the types of charcoal.

What's more, Yun Tao has never burned charcoal since she was a child.

All she knew was that iron couldn't be burned with ordinary wood, so something with a high ignition point had to be used.

Coal was also available in Jin Dynasty, but it was troublesome to transport it, so Yuntao burned the charcoal and cast iron by herself.

As for why she did this, she couldn't tell Wei Litao that she had seen it on TV.

Silver frost charcoal, no, the charcoal used for cast iron is easy to burn.

Find some hard wood and lay it up layer by layer, then apply a circle of soil around it, leaving a few vent holes at the bottom. When the wood inside is burned, plug the holes and wait for it to carbonize inside.

In order to make it easier to burn charcoal, Yuntao simply asked the craftsmen to build a charcoal stove several meters high.

Wei Litao arrived by chance. The charcoal had just been made and many people were picking it up.

Watching baskets of silver frost charcoal being scooped out from the pile of loess in front of me.

The group of people who came with Wei Litao were so shocked that they could not speak...

Even in the palace, those dragon sons and grandsons could not use so much silver frost charcoal.

"County Lord, can I discuss something with you?" Wei Litao raised his hands and said respectfully.

"What's up?"
