Chapter 110 Businessman Tian Jia! There is a traitor around Emperor Wu

The place where the imperial court made iron was actually relatively simple. After all, in the Han Dynasty, the iron-making technology was not very good.

In addition, it is a government-run institution.

All kinds of circumstances add up, and these iron-making things are actually just like that.

When Huo Guangyi asked for the slag produced by iron smelting, Yan Yi, the big farmer, couldn't help but be a little curious and asked: "Huo Yilang, what do you want these slag for?"

"Ahem, let's fill the road. I dug some clay recently and set up a blast furnace to bake some things. I dug a big hole in some land, so I have to fill it in!" Huo Guang said.

only.

It's better not to explain it.

Once explained, Yan Yi became even more confused.

He asked incomprehensibly: "Dig clay? Just dig it now. Do you need to fill the holes left behind?"

"Isn't it necessary?"

Huo Guang shrugged and asked, pretending not to understand.

However, Yan Yi said: "Of course it is not necessary. If the pit you dig is smaller, as time goes by and washed by rain, the mud flow will naturally replenish it."

"If you dig a big hole."

"The rain from God will also fill it into a pond. Over time, fish, loaches and other things will grow in the pond."

"If you can't store water, it's just a low-lying journey!"

"so."

“Why fill it in artificially?”

"Um" Huo Guang was a little confused by Yan Yi, an honest man, so he had to change the subject and said: "That's what I'm saying, it's not as much as you think. By the way, Da Nong Order, here at the iron smelting field, we usually make

Is the slag produced after iron making just thrown away so casually?"

"Is it too much?"

"It seems to me that no one has cleaned up and transported them away!"

Hearing Huo Guang's question, Yan Yi also nodded and replied: "Yes, there is too much slag. There are requirements for the amount of iron produced every day. They are all busy producing iron. How can they have time to take care of these slag."

The iron-making technology of the Han Dynasty was not good enough.

The imperial court also had requirements for the weight of iron produced every day.

This caused a problem in the ironworks.

In order to meet the iron production standards, we must increase the mining of iron ore every day and use a larger amount of iron ore to refine the required amount.

And those in power took a look.

Yo?

Isn’t it easy to achieve the goal?

OK!

Increase production next month!

Ever since.

A vicious cycle begins.

The imperial court gave production weight requirements. In order to achieve the target, the iron smelting plant was too lazy to improve the iron smelting technology and directly increased the mining of iron ore to produce the set target with more quantities.

Those in power looked at the weight of completed production and continued to increase iron production.

Come and go.

Since the official establishment of the Salt and Iron Company, the amount of slag has increased dramatically day by day.

This is for the ironworks.

Not to mention cleaning it up, as long as the slag doesn't block the road, it can be thrown anywhere.

It's been a long time.

Someone will always be sent to clean it up.

And this so-called top is the great farmer, Yan Yi.

only.

He also has a headache about these iron ore slag. If he had a way to clean it up, wouldn't he have done it earlier?

Why are you still here?

then.

Hearing Huo Guang ask him, Yan Yi immediately sighed and said: "To be honest, I am also thinking of a way! I was planning to clean it up in a few days, but how can such a large amount of iron ore slag be so easy to clean up?

.”

Huo Guang was very satisfied after seeing Yan Yi's distressed look.

But on his face, he showed a look of worry for the big farmer, and said: "Well, no matter whether you need to fill the hole or not, I will share part of the slag cleaning work for you within my ability.

Yes."

Yan Yi immediately no longer doubted Huo Guang and said with a smile, "I couldn't be more grateful!"

But speaking.

The big farmer, Yan Yi, suddenly changed the topic and warned: "Huo Yilang, thank you very much, but I can warn you, don't even think about using these iron slags to make iron again."

"If this is known to Your Majesty."

"Both your heads and mine have to be moved."

Ironmaking?

Huo Guang had thought about this before, but he hadn't thought about it since the official camp of Yantie.

Now is not the time.

As for these slags?

Ah!

Although a lot of iron can be smelted from it, who cares about what these people use leftover?

immediately.

Huo Guang then laughed and said: "Don't be ridiculous, Lord Nong. Why do I want to smelt iron privately? Using this kind of slag to smelt iron is just looking for trouble. Don't you think I am too busy?"

"Sorry, sorry." Upon hearing this, Yan Yi felt that Huo Guang was right, and immediately said with shame, "I used the heart of a villain to judge the belly of a gentleman."

Huo Guang smiled and waved his hand, saying: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's right for Da Nong to be cautious."

"How about this!"

"A few days later, I sent people to clean up some of the slag for Da Nong Ling. This can help reduce some of the burden on Da Nong Ling and allow him to concentrate on dealing with matters related to Bai Diezi."

As soon as these words came out.

Yan Yi "understood" Huo Guang's true intention even more.

he thinks.

Huo Guang mistakenly thought that he was distracted by the affairs of the Yantie government camp and was negligent about the planting of Bai Diezi.

It was precisely because of this worry that he came to help ease his burden.

When I think of this.

Yan Yi was even more convinced that his guess was correct, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Huo Yilang, although human energy is limited. But since Your Majesty has arranged for me to plant Baidiezi with you, I will not

Delayed."

"So good."

Seeing that Yan Yi believed his words, Huo Guang smiled and nodded.

Now that the goal has been achieved.

later time.

He and the big farmer Ling Yanyi didn't chat for long before he said goodbye and left.

only.

Although he is gone, Sang Hongyang is still here.

Seeing Huo Guang leave, Sang Hongyang immediately walked to Yan Yi and asked, "May I ask Da Nong Ling, why is Huo Yilang coming to the ironworks?"

Yan Yi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Huo Yilang is a good man. He saw that there was too much slag in the iron smelting plant, so he decided to send someone to help me clean up some of the slag."
