Chapter 17 You call this the fool's wrought iron method?
Li Eryi was very excited, and this method of forging iron really gave him a big surprise.
Empress Changsun's eyes shone brightly, "Is this what our Sheng'er did?"
"That is!"
"Otherwise, who in the world can be so knowledgeable and knowledgeable?"
For a while, Queen Changsun was also smiling.
This kid is so impressive!
But at this time, Du Ruhui said, "Your Majesty, please let me have a look at this method of forging iron."
"That's right. Let's see when the Ministry of Industry will take it to build it!"
"Yes. Well..."
Du Ruhui took the booklet.
He found that the binding method of this book was somewhat special.
But think about it, His Highness lives in the countryside and has the conditions to practice calligraphy, which is actually quite good.
Take a look.
As expected, it contained the small print that I had seen during the day when I glanced at it.
However, it is completely different from ordinary handwriting. Although this font is small, there is no smear of ink at all, and it is as clear as a knife carving.
Du Ruhui clicked his tongue and marveled that His Majesty could actually write well! But the handwriting didn't seem to be written with an ink pen. As for what kind of pen was used, he really couldn't tell.
It's not just handwriting.
After reading this for a while, Du Ruhui found that the content was... very difficult to understand.
Although almost every page has pictures, the strokes are precise and various numerical values are marked.
But precisely because of the wealth of information, Du Ruhui felt dizzy.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, how come His Majesty is so rigorous in his studies? Usually young people are scolded by their elders for failing to study, but today it was actually the other way around.
And there are many nouns in it, such as metal phase and so on.
Du Ruhui even asked questions and had no idea.
"How about it, Lao Du. Is this method of forging iron still possible?"
"Your Majesty, this booklet..."
"Oh? What?"
"This book is very difficult and profound. I'm afraid I won't be able to understand it thoroughly."
Li Er was stunned. I'm going to tell you the truth.
Although Du Ruhui is the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War also has to manage weapons. How can he not understand?
Frowning, Li Er couldn't help but wonder if Du Ruhui had become too old and confused?
He grabbed the booklet directly between his hands.
At this glance...
Not to mention Du Ruhui, his face immediately turned green.
the contents inside,
It was so profound and profound, he never expected that there were so many wonderful changes in the art of forging iron.
He would believe this booklet, let alone iron-making, if it said it was for elixir-making!
Li Er was a little dumbfounded.
This kid is too smart, and only smart people can read the books he wrote, so...then what can I do with this wrought iron?
After flipping through it for a while, he found that he seemed to be able to understand the last few pages.
…
How much charcoal should be added to the stove every few hours.
When adding charcoal to the stove, you need to use a certain amount of sulfur...as a combustion accelerant to increase the temperature.
The forging hammer should use waterwheel power to drive a large forging hammer and complete manual forging.
The waterwheel should be built like this... (a design drawing)
When forging, you should stop when the iron exhibits...
Li Er laughed immediately.
"Keming, you still don't pay enough attention. What I wrote before is the principle and Tao of the method of forging iron."
"These next few pages are the specific techniques!"
Du Ruhui was stunned and took the booklet from Li's hand.
Looking back, there are indeed several pages of clear forging methods.
"You know what it is, and you know why it is..."
"Your Majesty, however, first discussed the reason for it, and then found out the reason... This is an education that even a well-educated Confucian can't match."
Du Ruhui flipped through the back of the book on how to forge iron.
This time there was also an excited smile on my face, because... I could finally understand...
Empress Changsun doesn't know how to forge iron and doesn't interfere in government affairs.
However, the book written by my own child can make today's emperor and famous officials admire him.
As a mother, you are so beautiful in your heart!
Li Er was also smiling.
Giving birth to a son should be like a prosperous son!
But at this moment, Du Ruhui's face suddenly stiffened.
He suddenly saw some scrawled handwriting at the end of the page that seemed to be:
"Fool's steel forging method, completed√"
"Li Sheng, remember, don't keep telling people the principles in the future. Who will understand this? Just go to the fool's plan and you'll be done!"
Du Ruhui was truly speechless.
His Highness is indeed a contemporary genius comparable to Gui Gu.
To us, the method of forging iron is so magical, but in His Highness's eyes, it is just commonplace, even stupid...
However, this iron-forging technique is indeed very useful, which Du Ruhui will never deny.
"Your Majesty, I have understood His Majesty's method."
"Okay, let's go and summon the best blacksmiths to replace my Xuanjia Army with the best armor weapons!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"etc."
Li Er suddenly remembered something again.
"There is one more thing I need you to do, raise pigs!"
"Raising pigs?" Du Ruhui was stunned for a moment. It's not that he has never thought about raising pigs, but...
"According to what His Highness said, this method of raising pigs also requires medicine. This..."
"No, I have thought about this carefully. The focus of plague is prevention, not treatment. If you keep it clean and fenced, there should be no serious problems."
Du Ruhui thought about it, and that was true.
"But Your Majesty, where should this method be tried?"
"Where? Hmm... let me think about it. Forget it, you will come to Ganlu Hall tomorrow morning to take orders. I will do it myself!"
"Dear...yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Er has not forgotten about raising pigs.
He has read all the history books and knows that the ancient emperors, as long as they are wise kings who do something, will definitely care about the people's livelihood and never look back.
But he had never heard of an emperor who even cared about whether the people could eat more or less meat.
Although this method of raising pigs is exquisite, in fact, when the world was first settled, not many people could afford to eat meat.
If this method can work and be promoted,
Meat production doubled,
It only reduces the price of ten cents of meat by three to four cents. It is still a luxury for most people and can only be tasted occasionally.
But...he, Li Shimin, wants to be the first emperor who can make everyone in the world eat meat!
"I just don't know when the penicillin that Sheng'er mentioned can be made cheaply and implemented nationwide..."
Thinking about the various magical arts mastered by Sheng Er, the light in Li Er's eyes became more and more intense.
…
Early the next morning.
Li Shimin, Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, and... Li Jing, gathered outside the palace gate at the same time.
Dressed in private, Fang Xuanling and Li Jing looked puzzled, while Du Ruhui looked a little embarrassed.
"Your Majesty, this is..."
"Of course it's business. You are all my ministers. Am I looking for you to play piano and chess? Keming, no, Medicine Master, you lead the way! To the military camp!"
"Shall I lead the way?"
Li Jing became even more confused, "Wei Chen... I don't understand. Your Majesty, this is..."
"You'll know when you get there. Keming, have all the piglets you purchased been delivered?"
"Your Majesty, everyone is here."
"That's good. Let's go!"
Tap tap tap...
Horse hooves.
Li Er verbally asked Li Jing to lead the way, but this was because Li Jing was in charge of the Chang'an military camp.
So Li Jing was still confused as to what he was doing so early in the morning.
