270 million jins sounds huge. Compared with the weight unit of Ming Dynasty, the amount of 170,000 tons per year is still quite powerful during the Industrial Revolution. But in modern times, this number is just the output of a steel plant, which is very insignificant.

What is iron for the white-famous crane?

The one that really has the greatest effect is steel. Direct production of steel is an extremely huge attraction for the white-famous crane.

Also, what is a square furnace?

In fact, it is the original crucible steelmaking. But in the Ming Dynasty, crucibles were used to cook iron, rather than to directly produce steel.

Bai Minghe believed that even if he didn't understand industry, his half-tuned knowledge, coupled with hundreds of the best blacksmiths he recruited, would definitely allow him to complete the possibility of large-scale steelmaking.

With enough steel, the Iron Cavalry of the Han and Tang Dynasties will reappear!

After admiring Bai Minghe's proud look for a quarter of an hour, Xing'an asked: "This, Bai's name. Why don't you tell the Zajia directly, what benefits can this old man bring to you?"

Bai Minghe smiled, and this smile made Xing'an want to slap him. Bai Minghe then replied: "I don't know this old man in the hands of others, but in Hepu, haha!" Bai Minghe smiled happily: "He can give me 300,000 high-quality steel knives in a year, and at least 30,000 high-quality steel fire system. Give a few more years to develop, and this number can double. Xingdu is stainless steel. It's not that little steel blade is inlaid on the steel!"

The embroidered spring sword of the Jinyiwei is already good enough, but it is also finely made of iron and steel.

It’s the old saying that good steel is used on the blade.

Bai Minghe dared to say that the whole knife was made of stainless steel...

Xing'an's calm heart was disturbed by Bai Minghe. Although this matter felt outrageous. Since Bai Minghe said it, Xing'an believed at least 30%. He waved to a follower and said with a dark face: "Go to the imperial physician in the house and answered them all the miscellaneous families. There is no palace to take it here. If anyone can't save it, they don't have to live."

Xing'an is a really cruel person. He doesn't understand any industry, nor does he understand the output of iron or steel.

I only know one thing that Bai Minghe is interested in is definitely a powerful weapon for the country. However, it further proves the vision of Bai Minghe and the power of Bai Minghe. Otherwise, if you really have the ability, you would not have fallen into such a field. So all this is still based on Bai Minghe's operation.

"I will bring you two hundred good men, absolutely reliable confidants."

"Xie Xingdu, no one dares to destroy the steel shop casually. If Fanbang learns this technique, it will be great. Also, it is really a problem to ask Xingdu to come. This old man's blacksmith shop was definitely not alone. Please check it out, but if you are together, you will be invited to us."

Baiminghe used the word "分", but in Dongchang, the word "分" changed its flavor.

It was just a craftsman. Bai Minghe spoke, and it was such a big deal. Xing'an didn't care about tieing up all the blacksmiths around him in the place where the old man was, and then sending them to Hepu. He would rather catch a thousand mistakenly than let one go. This is the style of Dongchang.

There is no need to explain such a small matter to Bai Minghe. Anyway, what he wants is people, so just "invite" them.

Xing'an squinted his eyes and smiled, thinking in his heart how to reply to Long Live.

Under the terrifying pressure from Xing'an, the Imperial Hospital directly intercepted its leg in order to save the old man's life.

Don’t underestimate the medical skills of the Ming Dynasty. They do not have complicated surgery, but they will use drugs to seal the meridians first and then choose the most suitable position. There are many people in Xing'an who have top-notch sword skills, and they are on the line drawn by the imperial physicians. The broken leg was solved with one knife. Then the imperial physicians actually knew that they were ligating blood vessels.

The white-famous crane did not dare to see blood, but suggested using needles and threads.

In short, with the full efforts of a group of imperial physicians with excellent medical skills, it was only three days. This old man could drink porridge. In modern terms, his life was already stable, but he was afraid that his broken leg would hurt for many days, and it would also hurt if he applied anesthetics. His life would definitely be saved.

It was the third night since I saw this old man.

Bai Minghe then entered the house.

"Sorry, if you protect your legs, you won't be able to save your life. The Imperial Hospital is an imperial physician in the palace, and their medical skills are very good."

The old man was holding the bedside and was about to give a big gift. Bai Minghe persuaded him to stop him. His two apprentices kowtowed nine times before retreating aside.

"Old man's surname?"

"Sir, the little old man dares to call him the word "prime", the little old man's surname is Tie. He has made a living by slapping iron for generations, but unfortunately, the little old man is now a life, and it is not worth selling it to the adults."

Bai Minghe reached out to stop him and asked, "I have heard of stir-frying steel from willow wood! I have also heard that someone uses steel columns to stir-frying steel. Let's take a break now. When I'm getting a little more healthy, I'll chat with you slowly."

"Sir!" Old Man Tie shouted quickly, and his apprentice took out a bag from his close body.

I quickly opened it in front of Bai Minghe, and it was sheepskin inside. Bai Minghe took it and took a look, but I didn't understand it. Although Bai Minghe is a modern person, he is not proficient in everything. He just feels that the stove looks strange because the stove is horizontal, so shouldn't the steelmaker be standing upright?

But the apprentice named A Er came over to explain to Bai Minghe.

The method they used was to first use the high temperature of coke in the square furnace to transform the ore into molten iron. After a few more furnaces, the molten iron obtained became very pure, and then poured into a special furnace. The outside of the furnace is made of stainless steel and then riveted, and bricks are used inside.

Baiminghe estimated that this is the most primitive refractory brick.

Then there are some feldspar strips and dolomite strips. They don’t understand the principle either. This is because they occasionally use these two kinds of stones, and the steel they trained is of better quality.

Bai Minghe knew that this was neutralizing the phosphorus in the iron with limestone.

Next, the stove will be erected, and then there will be special holes at the bottom. At least twenty strong men will be required to constantly blow air in the bellows. At this time, even if the furnace temperature is not heated, it will be added to the next level.

But the steel made in this way is too brittle and not easy to use.

The white-name crane cannot understand why it is too brittle. According to the scientific explanation of later generations, this method directly makes the carbon in the molten steel infinitely close to zero, so how can it not be brittle?

The apprentice continued to explain: "But in the process of blowing steel, the molten iron must be stirred. I used a stone stick, but later the master used a willow stick, as long as it was stirred well. The steel produced was forged three or five times at most, and it was the best-quality steel. Even if it was not forged, it was also good steel!"

Although Bai Minghe did not fully understand the truth, these are all trivial matters, just try to make it once.

If you don't have one, you will have ten times.

You should know that all the original steel in the Ming Dynasty could be steel after countless repeated forgings. Steel making is made of at least the product after being forged tens of thousands of hammers, and it is only a small piece.

Bai Minghe didn't know that this willow stick was unexpectedly miraculous. First, when the willow tree entered the iron, it would deoxidize the molten iron because it burned in the iron. Then, because it controlled the time when the willow stick was in the iron, it increased the carbon content to the molten iron, killing two birds with one stone.

"Sir, this method is to use the internal boring of the furnace only once, and then you need to wait until the furnace cools down and then reorganize a new furnace boring."

"You can prepare a few more stoves, these are all small things. Keep them well and go back to Hepu in a few days. I will prepare ten stones of gold for you to build a steel workshop. Remember that with me, silver is not a problem. As long as you have real skills, you can rest with peace of mind now. Your ability is the guest of honor for me!"

Old Man Tie’s apprentice kowtowed to Bai Minghe on behalf of his master.

Bai Minghe wanted to help him, but he was afraid that he would scare this simple middle-aged man. If he had a bad status, this help would really make people nervous.

"Forget it, rest with peace of mind. I will go to court tomorrow and leave in a few days."

Tomorrow is the 19th, the Grand Court meeting decides the day when the officials will finally appoint votes.

After a few days of busyness, Bai Minghe did not return to the backyard, and was only concerned about collecting various talents for himself. Because of this old man, there were already hundreds of people who came to join Bai Minghe. More important news has been spread. I believe that more people will focus on Hepu.

Bai Minghe returned to the backyard, but saw Wan Xueer watching the moon in the garden with Qinghe at night.

"You..." Bai Minghe didn't know what to say.

Wan Xueer stood up and bowed: "Young Master Bai, I have already locked up Piaoxue Tower. I was originally planning to go south to Guangdong by myself, but I thought about it over and over again and planned to go to Guangdong with you."

"What does Dongchang mean?" Bai Minghe asked.

"Yes, the factory governor met with me personally. I went to Guangdong to help Lord Bai with the Dongchang. Lord Bai has been busy these days, but I don't know. Piaoxue Tower has been renamed Baihua Tower, and the contract with Mochou's joint camp is in my hands."

Bai Minghe reacted: "You wait!"

Bai Minghe turned around and left, and when he came back, he was holding the two title boxes: "When I accepted these two boxes, I was told that I knew it when I arrived in Hepu. There are antidotes and tonics in it."

Qinghe walked to Bai Minghe, took the box, and then put it in Wan Xueer's hand.

Wan Xueer beat Wan Fu: "I will naturally have Lord Bai to collect information, and everything will be based on Lord Bai's instructions. From the beginning of receiving this box, I am Lord Bai's subordinate. There are more than 200 people who follow me to Guangdong, all of whom are good at all. Men have their own ways, and women have their own ways."

Bai Minghe said that this kind of favor is really hard to accept.

Who would have thought that Wan Xueer said again: "I don't plan to enter Hepu, and will stay in Guangzhou City. Several of the original industries of the East Factory there have been assigned to the adults. All its personnel, except for several important positions transferred back to the capital, will also take over after I go there!"

PS: Today is really two. I didn’t hurt my hand even when I cut meat and split the chicken. As a result, when I finally packed up the knife, I actually came to myself. It hurt my right middle finger, speechless...
