Chapter 134 Don't say a word about today's affairs!
Wait until the carriage leaves Chang'an City.
Cheng Zhijie then turned his head and glared fiercely at Cheng Chusi, who had kept his head lowered since he got in the car with a look of grievance on his face.
"You son of a bitch, you're all sitting in a carriage, who are you showing off to?"
Hearing this, Cheng Chusi was stunned and could not help but frown slightly, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
However, before he could think about it, he was kicked in the leg again.
"Tell me quickly, my iron-making method, can you really produce two hundred kilograms of pig iron in one hour?"
"Aye, it's less than an hour!"
Cheng Chusila narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "Besides, it's two hundred and twenty kilograms of pig iron!"
On the side, Li Chongyi nodded repeatedly, fearing that he would be beaten if he reacted too slowly.
"hiss……"
Immediately, both Cheng Zhijie and Li Xiaogong were filled with surprise, and then they were extremely surprised.
"If the imperial court uses this method to smelt iron, it will not be able to smelt more than 50 million kilograms of pig iron a year! When the time comes, I, the sons of Zuotun Guard, will all wear iron armor, and they will definitely be able to tear those Turkic children alive!"
Thinking about it, Cheng Zhijie couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing this, Li Xiaogong rarely quarreled with him, but his face was filled with envy.
"Sir, please tell me quickly what kind of magical method he used to make iron smelting so fast?"
"Back in Aye, the master just put the iron ore in the iron furnace to burn, and then I waited aside to blow the wind and light the fire..."
"Nie Zhan, so you have already started using this method to smelt iron?"
"yes!"
"What a sin, you didn't tell me about such an important matter..."
"Aye, I don't know that craftsmen like the Ministry of Works and Jiang Zuojian can't even compare to Master in making iron..."
Soon, after a burst of excitement, Cheng Chusi felt even more aggrieved.
…
Half an hour later, the convoy of people finally arrived outside Lijiazhuang.
However, due to heavy snow, the carriage could not enter the village.
Therefore, Li Shimin and Li Chengqian had no choice but to get off the carriage early and walk to Lijiazhuang.
"this?"
However, after taking a few steps, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and the others couldn't help but look dull.
What you see is densely packed but neatly packed with glass greenhouses that sparkle in the sun.
"Li Xiaogong, is this not a fairyland?" Cheng Zhijie said with wide eyes and a dull look on his face.
"Although it's not, it's not much different!"
Li Xiaogong replied subconsciously.
"With so many glass greenhouses, how much glass does it cost to be so luxurious?" Cheng Zhijie sighed with emotion.
"Aye, we made these glasses ourselves, and they don't cost much!"
On the side, Cheng Chusi said quickly, "These are the Emperor's glass greenhouses that I told you before, kid!"
"The Great Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhijie's face suddenly became solemn and he quickly fell silent.
He quickly followed Li Shimin and walked towards the village.
Along the way, every time you pass two glass greenhouses, you can see a veteran standing in front of the greenhouses, saluting them from a distance.
Cheng Zhijie and Li Xiaogong looked surprised again.
However, this time I was very sensible and didn’t ask any more questions.
"My son, I have met my father!" "My son, I have met my father!"
Along the way, several people came directly to the forging workshop.
"Um!"
Li Yuan still opened his coat and looked around in front of the iron-making furnace. He just casually nodded to Li Shimin and others and ignored them.
Regarding this, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others just smiled and were not too surprised.
Immediately, he followed Li Yuan's gaze and looked towards the iron-making furnace in the corner.
"I see your majesty, General Cheng, and the prince of the county!"
Suddenly, a voice came from the side.
"Huh? Cheng Laosi, is it you?"
Turning his head, Cheng Zhijie looked surprised.
"Hey, Your Majesty, General Cheng and the prince are just villains!"
Cheng Laosi opened his mouth wide, revealing a row of big yellow teeth, and occasionally he could see a few big black holes.
"How long will it take for this stove to be turned on?"
Cheng Zhijie asked repeatedly.
"Back to the general, this furnace has been smelting with fierce fire for about half an hour, and the time is almost up!"
Cheng Laosi quickly replied.
"Can the furnace be turned on in half an hour?"
After hearing the meaning of Cheng Laosi's words, Li Shimin, Cheng Zhijie and others looked surprised again.
At this moment, Zheng Ye, the Supervisor of the Shaofu, had already approached the iron-making furnace with a curious face, asking Ying Qi and Wu Fu to inquire about the various structural functions of the iron-making furnace.
Although Ying Qi and Wu Fu were craftsmen who would serve as supervisors, they also knew the supervisor Zheng Ye who was the supervisor of the Shaofu next door.
Therefore, all questions must be answered.
The more he listened, the more surprised Zheng Ye looked.
After about a stick of incense, Li Xuan shouted.
"Turn on the furnace!"
Everyone couldn't help but stop talking, stared at the iron furnace.
A stream of fiery red iron juice flowed out of the iron-making furnace and flowed into the container below, where it slowly began to change color.
After the last drop of iron juice had drained out, several people slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zheng Ye, how is the quality of this iron juice?"
Li Shimin stared at Zheng Ye closely and asked.
"Your Majesty, there are very few impurities, comparable to high-quality pig iron!" Zheng Ye said with excitement on his face.
"Okay, hahaha..."
After hearing this, Li Shimin's face was filled with joy.
Immediately, he quickly looked at Li Xuan!
"Xuanba, I wonder if this method of making iron can be handed over to the imperial court. The Tang Dynasty is really short of iron!"
Xuanba?
Zheng Ye was shocked. He felt that this name was very familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had heard it before!
"This iron-making method can be mastered by Ying Qi and Wu Fu, and even by Cheng Chusi and others. You can use it however you want!"
Li Xuan glanced at Li Shimin and said softly.
"However, with this iron-making method, can your Majesty forge two hundred and thirty large iron furnaces for me?"
"Don't worry, Xuanba. After we get back, I'll be the weapons supervisor, the Shaofu supervisor, and the supervisor together to open the furnace and forge a big iron furnace for you!"
Li Shimin said quickly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Xuan's face was happy.
At this moment, Li Yuan began to direct Yuchi Baolin and others on the side to fill the iron ore with iron ore!
After obtaining the method of smelting iron, Li Shimin left in a hurry without stopping.
"Your Majesty, is the Xuanba master craftsman the master who improved the Quyuan plow before?"
After leaving Lijiazhuang, Zheng Ye asked Li Shimin curiously.
Li Shimin stopped and glanced at Zheng Ye indifferently. Zheng Ye was shocked and his back was covered in cold sweat.
Then, he replied: "It's him!"
"Zheng Jiancheng, you are not allowed to say a word about anything about Lijiazhuang today except the iron-making method!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I just came to Lijiazhuang today and saw this kind of iron-making furnace. I didn't see or hear anyone else or anything else!"
Zheng Ye was shocked and quickly bowed his hands.
After hearing this, Li Shimin nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask.
"With this iron-making method, how much pig iron do you think our Datang can smelt in a year?"
"Your Majesty, ten million kilograms of pig iron must be possible!"
When it comes to iron-making, Zheng Ye's face is full of excitement.
"Ten thousand catties?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin, Cheng Chusi and others couldn't help but stop and looked at Zheng Ye with shock on their faces.
"Your Majesty, the iron-making furnace just now is only two people high, while the iron-making furnaces of the Ministry of Industry are generally three feet high. The iron that can be smelted in one furnace is more than twice that of that iron-making furnace.
need more!"
