Chapter 190 Probably... also have three or five thousand pounds!
Why is it impossible?
No why.
Everyone has the fine iron in their hands. Can Li Er conjure fine iron out of thin air?
This is iron, not pen and ink!
When it comes to pen and ink, everyone made a mistake that time. After all, anything that can leave traces can replace pen and ink, so Fan Yanglu suffered a big loss...
But this time, what everyone is hoarding is refined iron.
What can you replace this refined iron with?
Stone? Wood?
Nonsense!
There is simply no substitute.
Pei Ji cursed in his heart and quickly figured out these joints.
Although I don’t know what Li Er is happy about, but...
It is absolutely impossible for Li Er to complete the military reform.
Just when Pei Ji had figured this out in his mind.
The next moment, Li Ergao sat on the royal chair and spoke with a smile.
"Everyone, today is a happy day. I want to announce something."
"The long-planned restructuring of the Xuanjia Army was finally completed today..."
After Li Er finished speaking, he laughed.
next moment……
Pei Ji was stunned.
Petrified in situ.
Li Er, he, he, he...
He has completed the military reform???!!!
This is impossible.
This is impossible!
This is impossible!
This... is absolutely impossible!
However, although Li Er didn't look at Pei Ji at all, he continued to speak as if he could hear Pei Ji's heart.
"If you all are well-informed, I think you all know it. Starting this morning, I ordered people to start selling steel..."
"So what is this steel? How is it different from fine iron?"
"Look, everyone..."
Li Er is obviously in a very good mood today.
I was afraid that the officials below would not understand, so I even brought two knives to demonstrate the super hardness of standard steel to the officials above me.
While talking and demonstrating at the same time, the classic scene of the steel knife cutting off the fine iron sword was exactly what Li Sheng once demonstrated to him.
Then, Li Er returned to the royal chair with a smile.
"Everyone, this steel is called standard steel. It is made by using a nine-foot-high tower as a furnace to generate the true fire of Samadhi, which has the power of the ancient times..."
"The raw materials used can be inferior iron, iron ore, or of course refined iron."
"But... as you all know, the price of fine iron has been very high recently. I can't afford it, so I have been using inferior iron."
"Everyone, do you still have questions?"
…
Li Er was obviously in a very good mood today, as if he was not His Majesty the Emperor, but an old master from a private school teaching curious children.
That kind of satisfaction is simply indescribable to outsiders...
Could it be that Sheng'er felt like this at the beginning?
At the same time, I also thought that when the various aristocratic families heard the news, they might have some mentality...
Darkly refreshing.
Now Li Er is all kinds of secretly happy!
This wave of blast furnace steelmaking has brought blood to all aristocratic families.
My son is indeed a god descending to earth!
At this moment, an old man's trembling voice suddenly sounded.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this... this blast furnace makes steel... why don't we know..."
"Is this, is it true?"
The person who spoke was none other than Pei Ji.
The old man spoke a little tremblingly, but Li Er didn't pay much attention.
It's just that Pei Ji has always stood with various aristocratic families. After all, he is an old-school scholar... He was suddenly interested in blast furnaces, which made him a little curious.
But he still nodded and said with a smile.
"Of course this is true. And you may not know it yet..."
"Your Majesty, how much steel does this blast furnace...produce in Japan?"
Pei Ji couldn't wait for Li Er to explain, so he asked directly in a trembling voice.
At this moment, Pei Ji's entire back was soaked in cold sweat...
Li Er smiled and said very kindly in a happy mood.
"Master Pei is interested in this industrial matter. It is a great blessing for us, the Tang Dynasty."
"This is exactly what I was planning to say."
"The ten blast furnaces are not complete, nor are they what they will be in their final form. But even if they are still prototypes, they weigh about three to five thousand kilograms a day."
Li Er initially asked Duan Lun to build a blast furnace. He was worried about the success rate, so he set a target of 10,000 kilograms.
But soon, Li Er discovered it.
Something is wrong. Only five or six furnaces have been built. How come the daily steel production is almost two thousand kilograms?
If this trend continues...???
So after a period of time... Li Er met with several ministers, and Wei Zheng proposed Li Sheng's strategy: use monopoly to fight against monopoly!
How did Li Er know that Pei Ji could be so deeply involved in this matter.
After finishing speaking, Pei Ji's whole face turned red on the spot.
The color is really like pork liver.
Then it turned blue... from the color of pig liver to the color of bamboo pole...
The sounds from the outside world gradually disappeared...
Finally, it turned into a complete white!
"Master Pei! Master Pei? Are you okay?"
"...What's wrong with Mr. Pei? Mr. Pei?..."
"...Send a doctor over here..."
"...Mr. Pei, what's going on? Suddenly..."
"...I heard it was..."
…
An unexpected incident almost caused Pei Ji to die of anger.
But even though he didn't die, he never got sick again...
At the same time, other members of the Five Surnames and Qiwang.
Otherwise, he would not have such good luck, and he would become seriously ill and lose consciousness.
They still have consciousness, but they still have to face plummeting iron prices!
Now...hundreds of thousands and nearly one million stones of grain have been sold, and the ironware obtained at a high price...
I thought the price could go up again.
Anyway, all the ironware is in everyone's hands, so it's not everyone who has the final say as to what price it will rise to.
But now...
Cui Baihe, Wang Jing and others gathered together.
At this moment, in the big house in the south of the city, there is not even half of the laughter and laughter from before.
Everyone has a miserable face, as if they were mourning for their heirs...
Extremely tragic!
His face... looked like a zombie.
If you are not careful at night, a child can be frightened and cry!
It can make children cry at night, it can stop children from crying at night!
"Wang...Brother Wang, now, what should I...what should I do???"
Cui Baihe asked in a trembling voice.
He was really panicked.
As for Lu Changgeng, Zheng Taishan and others, their faces were ashen...
More despair than panic!
terrible!
A blast furnace with a daily output of several thousand kilograms...
Wang Jing took a deep breath, and his pale face finally had some color...
"The iron of Kyushu is cast, and you cannot make a mistake for this!"
"I never expected that Li Er... could really make iron out of thin air!"
After letting out a long sigh, Wang Jing couldn't hold himself any longer.
Howl and howl!
Oh my God!
Now Wang Jing just wants to ask,
Why do you treat us like this?
Don’t you think we have done a great job in governing the people for you?
At this moment, only Li Tiancheng from Longxi looked slightly better.
But the same pale color is only slightly better than the other people who are ashen.
Li Tiancheng sighed heavily, "Brother Wang Shi, now is not the time to ask the sky. Now, what should we do with these fine irons in our hands?"
