In front of all the pavilion elders, Zhu Shanqing called over a Dongchang fan, pulled out a steel knife from his waist, then picked up a high-manganese steel Yanling knife in his left hand, and slashed each other with both swords!

Sparks flew everywhere! After one blow, Zhu Shanqing placed the two knives on the table, then pulled a high-manganese steel Yanling knife and handed it to the Dongchang fanzi.

Several pavilion elders quickly gathered around. The steel knife on the table already had a gap as wide as a little finger, but the high manganese steel Yan Ling knife still had a cold light. "This, this is impossible!" Liu Jian shouted, touching with his fingers.

The notch on the knife continued: "As far as I know, the knives provided by Dongchang are all made of fine steel. What kind of knife is this so sharp?"

Li Dongyang pointed to a pile of wild goose feather knives on the table: "Your Majesty, are all these knives so precious?"

Hongzhi's face lit up, and he tried hard to suppress the joy in his heart: "Well, Mr. Li, these are both swords, with the same quality!"

Xie Qian leaned over and looked carefully: "Your Majesty, I, I really can't believe it! Who is responsible for such promotion?"

"Second Master, I just accidentally did it." Hua Houwei said shyly.

Suddenly, all eyes were focused on Hua Houwei. Hongzhi opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he still didn't speak.

"Your Highness? You, how did you come up with this idea?" Xu Pu's beard was pouted, Lao Gao really couldn't maintain his aura as a minister.

"Ah! I just had an extremely long dream. In the dream, I was just like the craftsmen outside, ladling molten iron and pouring it continuously, enduring the high temperature and burns, and earning some hard-earned money to survive. So later, I just gave it a try.

I didn’t expect that the things in the dream were actually real!”

Several cabinet ministers looked unbelieving. Hua Houwei didn't care about that. Believe it or not, there was no other explanation!

Xie Qian nodded: "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

"I can hand over the technology, but promotion is a problem! How to keep it secret? How to pay taxes? Who is qualified to operate? How to change the clothes? There are too many problems. I am not a child who can think everything through." Hua Houwei is not blind to himself.

Da, in terms of his understanding of the Ming Dynasty and his sophistication in governance, he can't compare to these people.

"Your Highness is generous, I admire you! Once this new technology is popularized, it will be possible to recreate the situation where we were one Han enemy and five barbarians! Your Highness has done a great job!" Li Dongyang immediately realized that the upgrading of steelmaking technology would bring about

Direct benefits!

Xu Pu nodded: "What Binzhi said is right, in fact, there are more than these benefits. Steel is so hard, it must also become soft. There was a divine arm bow in the former Song Dynasty. Your Highness, can you do it?"

Hua Houwei shook his head: "Mr. Xu, it's not that you can't make it, but there is something better! By blending the carbon content of the steel, you can make soft steel, and you can also make crossbow arrows. Not only is the crossbow arrow accurate, it can also shoot at least forty

Sir! My lord, this technology is not only great because of the variety of steel materials and the high quality, but the most important thing is the cost!"

"Cost? Your Highness, you mean?" Xu Pu asked Hua Houwei hesitantly with surprise in his eyes.

"Yes, it's what you think. Steel will become cheaper and cheaper. We don't need to carry a knife to kill people, we can just shoot them to death with crossbows! No, pile them to death! We have plenty of money!"

Xu Pu asked excitedly: "Is that true?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa Xu. This blast furnace has a daily output of one to two thousand kilograms. How much does it cost for ten blast furnaces? How about a hundred? The land of China is so vast, there can be thousands of blast furnaces, right? The daily output is one million kilograms of steel. Mr. Xu, you

Come and teach me, who can beat the Ming Dynasty in one blow!" Hua Houwei proudly put his hands behind his back, with a look of arrogance on his face!

Damn it! Everyone was a little unsteady! The incident happened suddenly, and no one thought so much. At this moment, Hua Houwei talked about it, and a magnificent picture slowly unfolded in front of people! Hongzhi slapped the table in surprise, and the force was so strong

The wild goose feather knives on the big table were banging! "Zhu Houwei! Are you serious about this?"

"Your Majesty, I will not lie. I have known the nine-nine multiplication formula for a long time, and you can also calculate it!" Hua Houwei, who was rare in his straight clothes, bowed to Hongzhi.

Hongzhi looked at Xu Pu. Xu Pu was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He just desperately arched his hands towards Hongzhi, with a smile blooming from every pore on his face. Then he looked at Li Dongyang. Li Dongyang, a meticulous person, didn't care about his image at this moment, and smiled behind him.

His molars were all exposed. Xie Qian looked at Hua Houwei with pride, as if he was announcing to everyone that that stinky boy was my disciple, Xie Qian Xie Yu Qiao! Liu Jian kept stroking his beard, each strand

The tips of his beard are shining!

Suddenly, Hongzhi exhaled a breath of turbid air and kept slapping the table and shouting: "Ancestral Temple, Ancestral Temple! I want to announce the good news to my ancestors!"

Xu Pu coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, there is no rush to announce the good news from the Imperial Ancestral Temple. Let's discuss the major events mentioned by His Highness and see how to deal with the aftermath!"

Hongzhi slapped his forehead and glared at Hua Houwei: "Little bastard, why didn't you remind your father?"

Everyone smiled, the emperor was so happy that even his father came out. Hua Houwei made a face, and then said with a smile: "Dad, don't be happy too early. There are several problems that are almost impossible to solve.

First, no matter how well we keep it secret, the technology will eventually be leaked. What should we do?"

Xu Pu was anxious. If the barbarians had access to such a magical weapon, the ancestral tablets would not be saved! "Your Highness, is it really impossible to save it?"

"Hey, Grandpa Xu, you have also read a lot of history books. Did the barbarians know how to make iron? Weren't they sent out by their own people to make knives and kill their own people? It's hard to guard against domestic thieves!"

Xu Pu remained silent. Yes, many good things from the Han people were given away by their own people. They really couldn't keep them!

Hongzhi looked murderous and snorted: "Then kill! Whoever leaks the secret will be killed!"

Liu Jian echoed: "That's right! Everyone can kill such a traitor! Not only will he be killed, but his bones will be shattered and his ashes will be scattered so that he will die without a place to bury him!"

Li Dongyang shook his head: "Your Majesty, Mr. Liu, how can it be so easy? This blast furnace must be promoted. With more people, can the secret be kept? Your Highness, what are your thoughts?"

"Well, what I mean is how to ensure that our technology will always be advanced. Sirs, what books are the scholars in Ming Dynasty reading? Except the Classics and History Collection. Who will study technology? Do they rely on craftsmen? Are they literate? Are they willing to study technology?

?Can the corresponding salary keep up? Can they be officials?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Xu Pu asked hesitantly: "Your Highness, is this important?"

Hua Houwei shook his head, feeling disappointed: "Hey, adults, technology can never be kept secret, we can only keep moving forward. You think craftsmen are not important, these are their responsibilities. Then let me ask you adults
