In the boat on the Lujiang River, the two biggest troublemakers of the second brother's life looked at each other and laughed in unison.
"You are a very human being, and you will eventually reach great heights. If there is a chance in the future, we and I can join hands and turn the river into water flowing with wealth!"
"You are not an ordinary businessman. You can leave your name today so that you can meet me in the future."
The more Lu Meng looked at Mi Fang, the more he liked her, and he already wanted to keep him by his side.
He was excited, and Mi Laoer was even more excited.
Around Da'er, no matter Cao Cao, Dong Cheng, or other high-ranking families of the Han Dynasty, they always asked Guan Er and Zhang San.
Even Jian Yong, that useless Sun Qian, was occasionally visited by celebrities, but his brothers from the Mi family were the only ones who were despised by the heroes of the world.
Today, she finally met Lu Meng, a man whose eyes were full of hers, thousands of miles away, and Mi Fang's blood boiled.
"General Lu, I am Mi Fang of Xuzhou, named Zifang. I was originally a subordinate under the command of Grand Administrator Tao Qian, and now I am in charge of food and crops under the command of Uncle Liu Huang! General, if you have questions, don't dare to deceive me!"
"Oh? It turns out to be Liu Bei's man who has done great things in Xuchang recently!"
"But I don't know how much reward I can get for giving you to Prime Minister Cao!"
Mi Fang revealed her identity, and Lu Meng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he vaguely guessed the identity of the very powerful man on the deck!
"I'm afraid the reward is wrong. In the eyes of the prime minister, only my lord and brother are my brothers. Ziming took the reward. If I don't die, we will still have to negotiate with the general to exchange goods when we meet one day!"
Mi Fang saw that Lu Meng seemed to be about to fall out, so she was not very afraid. She just looked at Wu Xia A Meng calmly.
I have to say that Mi Zifang has a very good temperament today.
This attitude of not being able to kill me, but of being able to cooperate even if there is a chance to make money, was deeply appreciated by Lu Meng.
The Soochow captain smiled and nodded, the cold light in his eyes turning into admiration.
"Xuzhou Mi Fang and Mi Zifang, I have already remembered them in my heart. If there is a chance, I will contact you. I have a hunch that our brothers can do a lot of big deals that will shock the world!"
"Well, of course I can't take this gold from you. Go quickly. It seems like Liu Xuande has arrived in Jingzhou!"
Lu Meng, who was born from grassroots, is so shrewd that it makes people feel chilling.
Mi Fang took the gold, nodded heavily to the young man in front of her, and then walked out of the hatch.
On the deck, the second brother saw that Mi Fang had not come up for a long time, and he felt impatient and was already preparing to pick up the Qinglong Yanyue Sword.
Suddenly, when he saw someone whom he regarded as useless coming to the bow of the boat, the second brother didn't even try to hide it and started scolding him.
"What are you doing? It took so long and delayed the Lord's important affairs. How can you afford it?"
"Can these common men from Jiangdong stop me?"
The second brother's cold and arrogant temper is about to go crazy!
Lu Meng, who followed Mi Fang, went up to the deck and took a deep look at the big man with a Shanxi accent and a red face and a green robe, and he already guessed Yunchang's identity.
Lu Meng is the most adaptable person. He will never fall out with someone before he is ready!
He acted as if he heard nothing, lowered his head and walked towards his subordinates. In a moment, he had led everyone off the Xuzhou ship.
"Lu Meng, Lu Ziming, heroes, they are better than Xuande, Guan Er, Zhang San!"
At the stern of the ship, Mi Fang's ears were filled with the complaining voices of Guan Yu and Zhou Cang. Unknowingly, Mi Fang's level had already reached a higher level.
He didn't bother to talk to Fatty Zhou, but looked at Lu Meng going away on the ship, splashing water, and his eyes slowly turned red like an aggrieved child.
In Lujiang County, the evil star Guan Yu met in place, laying the groundwork for the great changes that shocked Kyushu.
At the same time, thousands of miles away from the Yangtze River, on the outskirts of Juancheng, in a huge valley.
At that time, Si Nong, commander of the Central Guard Army, and Kaifu Yi, together with the third division commander Fang Guang, had their faces covered with black ash. They were holding hammers and hitting the iron blocks refined in the furnace in front of them.
This place is the Yanzhou Ironmaking Workshop that is most important to Lingzao's residence in Dongjun.
Young Master Liu Ye has now become the most talented construction expert in Fang Guang's lineage, which made the old Datong troops in Dongjun very dissatisfied.
No matter Zaodi or Meng Jian, they always feel that fertilizers, paper, and workshops come from Dong'a City, and all the skilled craftsmen in the world can be found in Yanzhou.
This Liu Ziyang is just a descendant of a run-down family who fled from Yangzhou to Yanzhou. Even if he tries to hold on to his family, he won't be able to get his surname Liu.
In Zaodi, the more Meng Jian studied Guigu Miscellaneous Studies, the more he realized the depth of the smelting process.
The blast furnace is the mother of all irons. Whoever takes this object can forge the sharpest swords and the hardest armor in the world.
Coal-based iron-making, without major advancements in blast furnace technology, has already raised the temperature of the furnace to about 1,200 degrees, far exceeding that of ordinary kilns in the Han Dynasty.
But compared to the 1,538 degrees required by Fang Guang, the melting temperature of iron is still not enough.
Behind the young man, in addition to Zao Di, Meng Jian, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, who had newly joined Cao Cao, were also standing behind Fang Guang with nervous faces.
Gao Shun, who had never been frightened when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, was now sweating profusely, looking at the young man, hammer after hammer, hitting the iron material, his black face shining with oil.
"It's still foam iron. This kind of iron material can be forged in Yecheng and Nanyang kilns. This furnace is not considered a blast furnace yet!"
As soon as Sinong said this, Meng Gong screamed in surprise at Zao Di beside him, and his face instantly turned pale.
The two invested a lot of financial resources and people's energy, and allocated a large amount of coal that was in extremely short supply, but they still failed to build the blast furnace that Si Nong had in mind.
In the eyes of the Yanzhou people, this is a failure, a failure in front of Liu Ye.
"My lord, you are all stupid like Zao. You have delayed your lord and the prime minister's important event. Please punish me!"
"Sir, I know that the most important thing about this blast furnace is the fire temperature. The most important thing about the fire temperature is the blast furnace. This furnace was made by my students from Mancang Academy. This time, it made the world laugh!"
In Zao Di, Meng Jian asked for forgiveness, but the young man waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that it was okay.
"What's the matter? Good steel is so easy to make!"
"It doesn't matter. Regardless of the carburizing method, the hundred-refining inlay method, or the crucible method, you can create good steel. There is no rush.
"Now it seems that crucible steel is the way to refining steel on a large scale!"
"I remember that Kyushu crystal graphite was widely distributed throughout the land. Using graphite clay as a crucible, good steel finally appeared in Kyushu!"
The young man murmured to himself, his pair of slender dragon and phoenix eyes getting brighter and brighter!
Naturally, they didn't know what he meant by the crucible, graphite, and Yanzhou civil and military affairs, but they didn't dare to ask more questions. Even the governor of Zao County, like the students of Mancang Academy, bowed his head respectfully and remained silent.
"Bring the paper and ask General Zang Ba to search for this thing in Qi. If you send more, I will naturally have something good for him."
"Everyone, why are you so cautious? Catch a rabbit in the New Year. Without the rabbit, it won't be the New Year!"
"Everyone started laughing. It's such a joyous event for me to open my mansion in Juancheng. We should celebrate it. Why don't we use some coal and some money? If we have it at home, it's just for expenses!" Some money? We have it at home, isn't it?
