Lu Bu looked carefully and saw that the blacksmith's forging skills were pretty good. The forging hoe was quite strong, and at least it was very useful for farming. However, the iron smelting technology was far inferior. The small open furnace used to smelter could probably smel out hundreds of kilograms of iron at one time.

However, nowadays, an ordinary shovel costs more than 100 cents, and smelting hundreds of kilograms of iron at night is still quite profitable, and it is an absolutely profitable industry.

Lu Bu said: "How many people in your village can smel iron, and how many people can smel iron?"

"The ancestral craftsmanship of Xiaoren's farm was originally forged by Lord Tao in the iron factory, but later it was broken up. Now there are dozens of craftsmen who can smel iron, and there are more than one hundred people," said the owner of Pu Zhuang.

Lu Bu asked again: "How much pig iron can you produce in these five open furnaces in a day?"

"Go back to General, this is just smelting at night, and you can get 500 kilograms of pig iron in one night. The villain deserves to die, and he has no choice but to smelting private iron for the sake of his life." Pu Tie knelt down.

"I will understand that everyone is working hard in troubled times. But your secretive approach is not a solution, let's cooperate with the government," said Lu Bu.

Pu Tie's messy heart was relieved. Although the craftsmen worked hard, they could not live without the craftsmen in either side.

"The villain goes and discuss with his family, and the general later." Pu Tie said and went to the front yard.

Pu Tie's son Pu Feng is gathering people, Pu Tie said: "What do you want to do?"

"What are you doing? You're not asking for trouble? I'll shake people and cut him." This son is less than 20 years old, and he is very young and handsome. He is usually very good at martial arts, and he is called Pu Feng.

Pu Tie slapped over with a big ear and said, "The one who came here was Wen Hou, and he was shaken and chopped him. Even a 3,500-strong army horse could not stop him."

Pu Feng was stunned. If someone else was going to dislike him, he would still dare to blow his wings. He was not even as good as a grasshopper in front of Lu Bu.

Pu Feng opened his mouth and said nothing.

"Call your uncle."

"Okay, go right away."

After a while, Pu Tie found his brother.

To make a long story short, Pu Tie said: "Our business was discovered by General Lu. He smelting iron privately and according to the law, it is a serious crime of raiding the family. The general invited us to join and the official and private joint venture."

"Brother, this is General Lu's grace. Don't talk about any conditions. We agree unconditionally."

Pu Tie nodded and said, "Okay, let's follow your words and we go to see the general."

Pu Tie, his younger brother and son came to the backyard and worshiped again.

"General, we are willing to work hard for the general, but we can just rely on the general's rewards and eats. We dare not talk about any joint ventures." Pu Tie said.

Lu Bu was overjoyed, and supported the iron shop with both hands and said, "Okay, okay, good, good. You will be happy for your decision today for the rest of your life. I will start to build a large iron smelting factory and appoint you as the owner of the iron smelting workshop, in charge of iron smelting. At that time, no matter they are craftsmen or ordinary workers, everyone has food to eat and money to get, and every household will be rich."

"Thank you, General." Pu Tie was so happy that he had been upgraded from a commoner to a main thin, which was upgraded by rockets.

"The site selection of this large iron plant that was to be built requires a secret, but now there are disputes today, so we have to guard against it. Can there be hidden valleys nearby?" Lu Bu asked.

Pu Tie said: "It's so good. Ten miles north, there is a mountain called Mopan Mountain. The entrance to the valley is narrow and spacious inside. There are rivers and streams. There are a lot of ore on the mountain. I can mine iron and smelte in the mountains. There are also copper ore there, and brass can be smelted."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "That's great. It's too late today. Let's go into the mountain early tomorrow morning."

Pu Tie said: "Why can the general not eat a glass of water and wine when he arrived at the farm? The villain arranged for the man in the farm to kill a few sheep and entertain the general."

Lu Bu stood up and said, "The Lord of the Pu family is so polite. It is rare that you should take your time. Just send the sheep outside the village. The general's cavalry is still in the military camp."

Pu Tie was sweating behind his back when he heard this, and he was scared to think about it. His confused son just now was actually thinking of summoning people to cut Lu Bu. It was so funny, I didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick.

"Okay, the little guy is here soon." Pu Tie said.

Lu Bu took Feng Xiong out of the village and got on his horse and returned to the military camp.

Seeing Lu Bu leaving, Pu Tie wiped the sweat from his forehead, Pu Tie's son Pu Feng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Dad, why does General Lu have such a strong aura? It's so powerful that people can't breathe."

Pu Tie said: "Wen Hou is an unparalleled military general at the time, and there are almost no military generals in the world who can match him."

Pu Feng was afraid after a storm, but fortunately his father came in time and did not cause any major disaster.

Pu Tie ordered people to kill ten sheep, a pig, and pulled it in a carriage, and sent it to the military camp with his son Pu Feng.

Lu Tong personally greeted the camp at the gate of the camp and said, "Here is the master of the Pu family. Wen Hou is waiting in the camp. Please invite him quickly."

Pu Tie handed the pigs and sheep to the Huotou Army, and went to see Lu Bu with his son Pu Feng.

Lu Buxin got hundreds of craftsmen and was very happy and said, "Master Pu Bo is polite. Please get up quickly, come and see the seat."

The conditions in the army were simple, so there were definitely no chairs. The soldiers brought two stools to let the two sit down.

"Thank you, Wen Hou." The two sat down.

Lu Bu waved his hand and the soldiers brought a small tray.

Lu Bu said: "I didn't have any good gifts when I first met. Here is a special water bottle for our army, which is for the men to play with, and it is convenient to bring it with me to drink."

After all, Pu Feng was a young man. Seeing that Lu Bu was rewarded with something, he spoke kindly, and had long lost his original pressure and became more courageous. He took the kettle to watch it carefully, and was very surprised.

"Good workmanship is good, and no skilled craftsman can do it," said Pu Tie.

Lu Bu said: "Puzhubo, can there be someone in the nearby villages who smelves privately?"

"This." Pu Tie hesitated a little.

Lu Bu said: "I will be generous and kind, and I will order someone to post a notice tomorrow. Anyone who makes iron without blame will go to the Iron House to be a craftsman. Once you find out again in the future, you will have to do it."

"Lord, merciful. There are seven or eight mountains with iron ore nearby. There are four villages nearby. Every village has secretly smelted iron, but the scale is very small. It is nothing more than fighting farm tools and making a living. Establishing a large iron factory, and the craftsmen have a living, who dares to secretly smelle iron again?" Pu Tie said.

"It makes sense." Lu Bu nodded and said, "In the troubled times, everyone is just to live."

Seeing that it was not early, Pu Tie stood up and said, "Lord, let's say goodbye, let's set off tomorrow morning."

Lu Bu waved his hand and asked someone to bring two coins of money and said, "Master Pu Bo, this is the money for pigs and sheep for you. You can take it back and send it to the villagers."

Pu Tie was not willing to accept it, saying, "This is all for the filial piety to the lord, just a few pigs and sheep, so you can't collect money."

Lu Bu said: "I will have strict orders, and you are not allowed to eat or take a tax. You can't let me break my promise."
