Outside the blacksmith shop under the head of the dragon, there were several people standing, including Jia Lun, the judicial assistant Liu Hanchang, the Sicang Zuowei Jingye, the servants of the county, Wang Zhi, etc.

In addition, there is Chu Zaishan, the garrison leader who has just been transferred to the East China Sea.

Originally, there were no garrison troops in the East China Sea to defend the border, and there were not many soldiers in Haizhou. There was only a town of soldiers near Huairen County, the northern border, called Dishui Town.

Because of the waterway, if the Zhou army invaded the south, it would definitely have attacked the throat towns that went south such as Shouzhou, Haozhou, Sizhou, etc., and captured those cities, most of the land in Jiangbei would fall.

When the East China Sea was enfeoffed, the Tang Lord dispatched a garrison to obey the orders under the command of the Donghai Kingdom. Although the Tang Lord's favor to the Donghai Kingdom, he defended the territory of the Donghai Kingdom before the soldiers of the Donghai Kingdom were recruited, but there was a vague intention of surveillance.

Chu Zaishan was a 50 heavy infantryman, and he was well-trained.

Chu Zaishan was actually a little helpless. He was the leader of the garrison, but he always led the way in the battle formation, holding a sword and using flesh and blood to spell it out.

Now, he was sent such a leisurely errand. He was really depressed, but he had no choice but to say that there was no one behind him.

And this small king of the East China Sea is really, alas, it's impossible to say.

These days, I have been making irons.

Isn't it ridiculous?

In the blacksmith shop, the fire was burning, and Lu Ning was bare-handedly waving an iron hammer to forge the red-hot flowing iron.

The blacksmith shop was too hot, and with sparks splashing everywhere, Liu Hanchang and other clerks and Chu Zaishan could only wait outside.

Chu Zaishan was originally full of irritability. He came to visit the king every day these days. He heard that the king was scheming iron, so today he simply came to wait outside the iron shop.

However, looking at Lu Ning's iron figure, his expression gradually changed.

Seeing that in the iron shop, the little king waved the iron hammer like a straw, but beat the red iron, it was like a robotic arm, so stable and precise. The sponge was like a black impurity in the red iron. As Mars flew around, the black impurity seemed to be visible to the naked eye and was gradually decreasing.

What kind of magic skill is this? Is Ou Yezi, Gan Jiang, and Mo Ye forged this way?

Chu Zaishan was shocked. Although he was not a blacksmith, he knew a little bit about the tricks of iron-breaking.

Seeing that the flowing iron was heating up again and again, the small country took the action like a kind of mechanical action, and it was repeated continuously. Gradually, a few hours passed and it was almost dark. The king of the country seemed to be tired, and he had long been stunned.

Although I heard that this small king was sealed because he shot the Zhou Lord to death, but if the Zhou Lord was in trouble, who would shoot him to death? It was just a lucky thing to be lucky.

But now, Chu Zaishan's eyes flashed, and he was extremely shocked. This little king, the divine power, Ruos?!

He remembered the rumors these days, and heard that Liu Zuoshi said that the young master had repaired the trolley on Linhong River, and was preparing to build a few more trolleys. Some small iron pieces created by the king were simply amazing. He said that one called screws could solve the particularly big problems of craftsmen.

Moreover, this little king seemed to have some experience in farming, so he asked someone to dig a fermentation pond to ferment and accumulate fertilizer.

Chu Zaishan originally thought that these were just small kings' subordinates flattering, but now, I'm afraid that these rumors may not be fake!

Looking at the figure of the young king in the blacksmith shop, Chu Zaishan's face gradually became solemn.

...

Finally, Lu Ning's movements suddenly stopped.

Then, it is cooling.

The blacksmith shop soon rolled in white smoke and couldn't see the situation inside.

"It's finally done!" Lu Ning walked out with a loud laugh.

He was sweating profusely, and he couldn't see his muscles and his upper body was like rain.

But I feel very happy in my heart. In this world, I always feel that I have no place to vent my strength. In the past few days, I have vented enough. Although I am extremely tired, I am so comfortable.

More than a dozen blacksmiths behind Lu Ning were shocked and admired when he looked at Lu Ning's back. This king was the first to be the ancestor of the blacksmith.

"Recasting and forging lightly forging! It is our misunderstanding of iron smelting, and only by good craftsmen will there be fewer and fewer."

Lu Ning sighed.

Everyone did not know what Lu Ning meant, but Liu Hanchang and other officials naturally nodded and said yes.

Lu Ning was inspired by the idea that China has been leading the world since ancient times, and cast iron technology has been leading Europe for hundreds of years. However, it is precisely because of the emergence of cast iron technology that the production of pig iron has greatly increased the amount of iron production and can be produced in a systematic manner, which has also made China's iron smelting a misunderstanding. In the past, craftsmen thought it was troublesome and produced less iron, and gradually fewer and fewer.

However, it is essential for elite weapons, high-quality armor, and even for the barrels of firearms in the prototype, etc. to obtain high-quality steel repeatedly forging.

With the current and even hundreds of years later, iron smelting can only be complicated forged. The so-called hardening and tempering can remove some of the carbon content and other impurities in the iron to obtain high-quality steel.

China's iron casting is often an official monopoly. The production of weapons is focused on large-scale production. This is certainly an advantage, but from another perspective, it is also a disadvantage.

Europe is different. Only the nobles can use good armor and weapons. Therefore, craftsmen will repeatedly forge good steel. From generation to generation, their skills will become more and more proficient. In fact, since the Song Dynasty, with the forging of excellent steel, China has gradually lagged behind the West and Arab regions.

To make the barrel of a firearm, this kind of refined iron must be used.

In Ganjia Village, he has already bought people to buy earth, sulfur, charcoal, etc. It is no problem. He only sees how much explosive amount of gunpowder can be accommodated when the gun barrel he created is made of iron casting molds.

But I feel that it's not optimistic.

Maybe more attention will be spent on improving cold weapons in the future.

"Good knife!" Chu Zaishan suddenly shouted, ran over, and suddenly picked up the Mo knife that Lu Ning had cooled out of the oven.

These days, Lu Ning has been working hard for a long time and is creating this strange knife.

Chu Zaishan held the freshly baked Modao, his eyes turned blue, and he thought to himself that if everyone had such a magical weapon in my garrison, his combat power would probably double immediately.

This Mo sword is slightly lighter than the Mo sword, which is commanding the garrison of Chu Zaishan, but the blade is extremely cold and sharp, and the handle is extremely comfortable to hold. You can see that it is stronger and more resilient than the handle of an ordinary Mo sword.

Chu Zaishan's feelings in his heart were no longer able to speak of such a magical weapon.

Seeing Chu Zaishan wanting to lick the dog with a knife in his hand, Gan Erlang scratched his head, but remembered that when he saw the screw a few days ago, he had similar expressions. He could imagine how convenient it would be for the screws in the future, and how some technical problems that could not be solved could be solved easily.

"You are Chu Zaishan? OK! It looks like Kong Wu is powerful! Today I will do it, let's eat big fish and meat!" Lu Ning waved his hand, and some experiments finally achieved results, and he was very happy.

For example, screws, relying on his precise control of power skills, he created some molds. In this way, ordinary blacksmiths here can cast screws. Of course, compared with the screws of later generations, the cast iron screws cast by these ordinary blacksmiths have quality one by one, and the threads are very rough and easy to rust, but can they be used, right?

In addition, Lu Ning also used the Bailian Steel he forged himself to create some axes, chisels, planes and other tools used by carpenters, especially planes. Compared with the planes used by carpenters now, it is much easier to use.

These tools come in handy when repairing the tube.

Some improvements to farm tools can also provide some ideas for yourself.

Thinking about what I have to do is almost done, and the rest, those blacksmith apprentices should be pondered slowly.

Otherwise, if you rely on yourself for everything, you will never be able to finish your ironwork in your life.

He was happy. Lu Ning brought Chu Zaishan, Gan Erlang and other clerks to the house of a craftsman at the foot of the mountain, and asked the craftsman to go and buy some wild game, and feast on it. In the past few days, he has been very familiar with these craftsmen. Of course, no one dared to think that he was familiar with the lord in his heart.

Nowadays, the county’s official documents have been conveyed to the fact that the Donghai villages have been banned and the king of the country is Lu Ning, and the whole county has known it.

Lu Ning didn't eat much of the fragrant beast meat, but he drank very much with the wine until he drank it.

None of the clerks dared to speak.

Chu Zaishan was also a little restrained. The young king, whose grade was almost thirty, began to feel that this little king had obtained the merit of greed for heaven because he was blind cats and rats. Now he didn't think so anymore, and he felt even more awe in his heart.

"The first time is really amazing. The villain wants to know. Is there anything else I don't know about the first time?" After a few rounds, Jialun was slightly drunk and asked helplessly.

Lu Ning smiled and said, "I don't understand much. I just like to think about everything, just thinking about it."

"First, what are your plans for the future?" Chu Zaishan asked with a half-true and half-false smile.

Lu Ning was slightly stunned. These words were actually a little bit profound. After all, it was the first time he had met Chu Zaishan.

It seems that these warriors are a little careless.

Is there any such cliché?

In my previous life, the most honest and honest fool in my operation group was not like this?

However, the officialdom and upper and lower classes were indeed played to the extreme in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and in their own era, they were even more striving for excellence.

Thinking about it, my hand suddenly pointed out the paper window. There were some craftsmen children there, all of whom were extremely thin and thin. They gathered together and bit their fingers, as if they were smelling the fragrance of meat floating out of the house to satisfy their cravings.

"The planning is not a question! If there is a small goal, it is to let the children I ruled eat meat in the future!"

Chu Zaishan almost sprayed out a sip of old wine.

All the clerks immediately flattered themselves, such as the lord's compassion and righteousness, and the people who care about them first.

However, obviously no one thinks this is Lu Ning's truth, it is nothing more than the official words of the superiors.

Lu Ning smiled slightly, without explaining much, picked up the cup and signaled several people to drink.
Chapter completed!
