Chapter 282

Li Shimin and they were very shocked to visit, they found that this is a small town, there are more than 10,000 people living here, and the roads are so well built, which is more than the population of many cities, if you count those workers who came with their families, at least 20,000 people can live here.

Soon they were on those roads.

"Your Majesty, this is a road dedicated to transporting coal, and it leads directly to the coal yard 30 miles away, and the coal yard was also discovered by Wei Hao, and now there are workers digging coal over there, and at the same time transporting it here." The eldest grandson Chong said to Wei Hao.

"Can coal and stone be burned, are you not afraid of poisoning? And it's not easy to burn, right? Fang Xuanling asked at the eldest grandson at this moment.

"It can be burned, it's very good to burn, anyway, we don't know what's going on, it's all made by Wei Hao!" Fang Yi said directly to Fang Xuanling.

"Well, I've found a lot of new things, and this road, but it's well built, who is responsible for the road?" Li Shimin asked with a smile.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's me, it's all in accordance with Shen Yong's drawings to be constructed, these roads are very strong, it is estimated that they will not be rotten in three or five years! After all, there are so many carriages running here every day, and according to Shen Yong's requirements, there are 4 road maintenance workers here, who inspect the road and repair the road every day, and it is estimated that there will be no problem in ten years, and there will be no need to overhaul it within ten years! Eldest Sun Chong immediately reported to Li Shimin.

"It's only been ten years?"

"It's only been ten years!"... When those ministers heard this, they all looked at Changsun Chong in surprise, this is too short.

"You also have to see how many horse-drawn carts pass here every day, let's just say that over there in the coal yard, 1,000 horse-drawn carriages are loaded with coal and stone every day! If you crush it every day, can it not rot fast? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense, I'm saying, this is not according to the standard of the straight road, even if it is a straight road, just like us, it is estimated that it will not be able to withstand ten years! "The eldest grandson is very angry, and they can't look down on such a road.

"I found that you are really, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, you can understand it, take out any item here, you can't understand it, why are there so many words?" Cheng Chuliang said unhappily at the moment.

"That's it, sitting on top of the court every day, what do you know?" Li Decheng also looked at those ministers with contempt.

"You guys!"

"Well, listen to them, you really don't understand!" Li Shimin immediately stopped them and didn't let them continue, at this moment, the sun was already very high and a little hot.

"Okay, let's go to the factory and have a look, isn't there a second furnace going to be opened today? When it's time to open the furnace and take a look! Let them see! Li Shimin said to a few of them,

When they heard this, they began to walk with them to the side of the factory, and when they got to the first furnace, the fire had been turned off, and a large amount of iron was also out yesterday, and now it was loading coal and iron ore, so there were a lot of people working here!

"Your Majesty, this is the iron that came out of the furnace two days ago, all over here, more than 50,000 catties, each piece here is 100 catties, a total of more than 500 pieces, and it is still hot!" Fang Yizhi said directly to Li Shimin.

"Oh, it's the last time, these irons, the Ministry of Industry will all transport them away at that time!" Li Shimin nodded and said.

"Yes, but, Shen Yong said, we still need to make steel, and we need iron to make steel!" Fang Xuanling said immediately, and at this moment, Fang Xuanling also found that his son was different from before, he was a lot less bookish, and he also learned to take the initiative to speak.

"Well, that's okay, listen to Wei Hao!" Li Shimin nodded, and then went to the first factory with his hands behind his back, those people saw the inside, they all looked at the inside of the factory in shock, the factory building is very high, and especially the furnace near the inside, it is even more majestic, and there are stairs to go up.

After those workers saluted Li Shimin, Li Shimin let them continue to be busy, he watched them, the workers continued to pour iron ore and coal into it, and those officials went to watch, it was not very hot inside, and the temperature was about the same as outside, so those ministers felt nothing, and they also gave Li Shimin a detailed introduction to the functions of the stove.

After the introduction, Fang Zhizhi took them to the second room, at this moment, Fang Zhizhi they are very smart, everyone immediately brought a large cup of water into it, these quilts, are specially burned by the ceramic workshop, a total of 30,000 burned, spent more than 3,000 yuan, each worker sent one, Fang Zhizhi they also have one.

As soon as those people entered, they felt a heat wave rushing inside, which was already very hot, and the temperature inside the furnace made it at least more than 50 degrees.

And they also saw that the workers working inside were all wearing shorts and shirts similar to Wei Hao's, but they were all made of coarse cloth.

"It's so hot!" Li Shimin is wearing a long shirt at the moment, and so are those ministers, and now, many ministers are beginning to sweat wildly on their foreheads, but now that Li Shimin doesn't say it, they don't dare to say it.

"Your Majesty, today, I want to produce this iron, and I can do it now!" The eldest grandson Chong looked at Li Shimin and said.

"Come out now, let's see!" Li Shimin said to the eldest grandson and them.

"This, can it come out? You still need to ask Wei Hao! Fang Yi said directly to the eldest grandson Chong.

"Yes, yes, yes, can you come out, you have to ask Wei Hao, we still can't understand it now!" Changsun Chong also said immediately.

"I can come out, Xia Guogong told me just now!" Master Wang came over at this moment and said to them.

"Okay, then open the furnace, Your Majesty, you are standing here, now everyone needs to prepare, and you are standing there, blocking the way of the workers!" Fang Zhizhi immediately shouted at them.

"Start preparing, the iron is coming out!" Changsun Chong also shouted loudly, and then they found that someone was carrying him an iron trough and placing it next to the stove, and then a large number of people pushed the bucket to the other exit of the iron trough and waited here.

"Are you ready?" Fang Zhizhi shouted loudly.

"Ready!" The workers also shouted loudly.

"Okay, ready, I'll count to three!" Fang Yi shouted directly, and the workers were all staring at the iron trough,

And Wei Zheng and them, they feel very uncomfortable at the moment, sweating profusely, they can't wipe it clean, some ministers already feel uncomfortable, and Li Shimin also feels like this, now he feels that his back is soaked, uncomfortable, but there is no way, now they also want to know, how did this iron come out, is it really 100,000 catties.

"One, two, three, open the furnace!"

"Open the furnace!" The workers all shouted loudly, and then the workers opened the door valve, and the red iron slurry flowed out of it, through the iron trough into the bucket, and when it was full, it was immediately pulled away, and the other bucket was connected, and the speed was very fast, and the officials felt even hotter, and there was almost no place to hide.

The workers worked very fast, and bucket after bucket was transported, and the intensity of the workers' work at this time was very great.

"Your Majesty, now is the most tired time, basically everyone has to go out to rest after three drags, and the next shift of people comes up, it's so hot, we have no choice but to wear such clothes to work, it's not that we don't respect Your Majesty, because you are coming to the factory today, so we will dress in advance!" Fang Zhizhi immediately said to Li Shimin,

Li Shimin nodded, of course he knew that now he was soaked from the inside out, and later, some ministers couldn't stand it anymore, but Li Shimin didn't leave, so they didn't dare to go.

"Your Majesty, this is your water, with salt added to it, it's a little salty, it can't be done without salt, the workers can't bear it, and the water we drink is also salted!" At this time, Fang Yi brought over two cups and handed one cup to Li Shimin.

"Okay, okay, I'm thirsty too." Li Shimin immediately took it and drank it dry,

And Fang Yi directly handed another cup to Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling took it and drank it dry, and Changsun Chong also brought water to Changsun Wuji's side, and the same was true for the others, all of them brought water to their father, but the other Wenchens, they don't care, you like to drink it or not.

"Eh, comfortable, hot, Your Majesty, can you take off your clothes? I can't stand it! After Cheng Yanjin drank the water, he asked Li Shimin.

"No, you can't stand it, Wei Hao and they were here every day before!" Li Shimin opened his mouth and said,

The other ministers just looked at Li Shimin, and then looked at Wei Zheng, thinking to themselves, you have nothing to impeach anything, now Wei Zheng is also very uncomfortable, his clothes can be wrung out of water, and he is thirsty, he wants to go out, but now Li Shimin is standing there and not moving, they can only stand here.

After a while, a few people from outside came in with water and began to pour it around the stove, the water was on the ground, it didn't stay long at all, and it was quickly evaporated and dried.

"Your Majesty, you see, at this speed, it will be over in three hours!" Fang Yizhi continued to say to Li Shimin.

"Hmm. Is it so fast? Li Shimin nodded.

"Yes, so the intensity of the work of the workers here is very high, so the construction of those houses and canteens is to solve their personal life problems and give them more time to rest." Fang Zhizhi continued to speak.

"Good!" Li Shimin nodded and continued to watch, in fact, there was nothing to see, he just wanted to vent his anger to his son-in-law, so that those ministers could also feel the difficulties here, otherwise, they would also impeach Wei Hao for this and that, whether it was annoying or not, anyway, he had water to drink.

At this time, one of the ministers in the back fainted. The other ministers were also panicked.

"Quick, carry him out and feed him water, it is estimated that he is faint from heat and heat stroke!" Fang Zhizhi immediately shouted, a few soldiers came over, carried him out, and when he got outside, the minister felt much more comfortable, especially after drinking salt water, he felt much better.

"Get them some water, too!" Li Shimin said directly to Fang Yi.

"Yes, bring salt water and get them a scoop!" Fang Yizhi immediately shouted, and then someone came over with water, there were five or six scoops in it, and those ministers didn't care about Sven anymore, so they took the scoop and began to scoop water to drink, but whether it was unhygienic or not, after drinking, they felt much more comfortable, but the sweat came out more,

Those ministers feel uncomfortable now, they are all sweat, how can they be comfortable, almost, half an hour later, Li Shimin took those ministers out, and saw the iron neatly placed outside, and now they can see the heat wave on it!

"Whew, it's much more comfortable, Your Majesty, can you take off your clothes? Rabbit cub, go get a set of your clothes, the old man can't stand it! Cheng Yanjin said to Li Dexian.

"Wait a minute, what are you in a hurry, we were all like this before, wet clothes are worn for a day!" Cheng Chuliang said to Cheng Yanjin.

"You!" Cheng Biting Jin was so angry, he didn't impeach them.

"Well, let's go, go to the other furnaces, they seem to be making iron, right?" Li Shimin sat there and asked.

"Yes, they are all smelting iron, but there is still a furnace that has not moved, and it was originally planned to start refining today, isn't this Your Majesty coming over, so it stopped, and now I don't know if I want to refine it tomorrow, Wei Hao's side, maybe I won't do it!" Fang Zhizhi immediately spoke.

", can you not do it? Who does he do if he doesn't? Li Shimin immediately spoke, and then took those ministers to other factories, and those ministers twisted their clothes in the back, and they were able to wring out the water, and many ministers were also envious of those workers who wore short sleeves, comfortable!

And Wei Zheng didn't speak at the moment, knowing that there was a problem with the impeachment just now, working here, without wearing such clothes, there was no way to work, and when they went to other stoves, they also found that it was very hot inside, and those workers had to add things to the stove from time to time, and there was no way to do it if it was so hot, after all, many things still needed to be operated by them!

"Your Majesty, this furnace will be able to open the furnace the day after tomorrow, and the next few furnaces are like this, now we just want to know, after refining this furnace, we will continue to refine later, will there be other problems, so we have to explore, as long as there is no problem with the second furnace, then it can be basically determined, there is no problem, and we will be able to pay for the court at that time!" The eldest grandson Chong introduced Li Shimin and said.

"Well, yes, that's good! Each stove is 100,000 catties, isn't it? Li Shimin nodded and continued to ask.

"Yes, it's roughly 100,000 catties, after all, there is no way to be specific, but it's about the same, up and down 2,000 catties!" Eldest Sun Chong nodded and said.

"It's really good, such a furnace, who of you could have thought of it, who can build it, this is not something that can be done with money, which of you has such a skill?" Li Shimin stood there and asked the ministers, but the ministers did not speak.

"You impeached Wei Hao in the court for building those houses, what? Shouldn't it be built? Under what conditions did those workers work, and you have also seen that, why should they build such houses to make them more comfortable? Well? You say that Wei Hao spends money indiscriminately, is this indiscriminate spending? Here, it cost more than 190,000 yuan, which of you takes 190,000 yuan, not adding 100,000 yuan, 290,000 yuan to repair one?

And here, Wei Hao also said that it is possible to make money, and it will not take a year to be able to return to the capital, I don't say a year, but I will not return to the capital, and iron is also a material that our court urgently needs, and you are still impeached? What is it like a brick mill to convey benefits, the brick mill still needs to be transported, you go to the brick mill now to see, there is still a queue over there,

And in the brick mill in Luoyang, it can produce 50,000 bricks and 200,000 tiles per day. That's not how you impeached, right? Li Shimin shouted angrily at those ministers at this moment, and those ministers heard it and didn't dare to speak.

"The matter of impeachment, let's stop here, I don't want to hear about your impeachment about the iron mill, your impeachment is easy, and I don't know how to coax Wei Hao later, now Wei Hao is gone, I tell you, if Wei Hao doesn't do it, you will do it here, if you can't get the iron, I will ask you!" Li Shimin shouted angrily at those ministers at this moment,

I was also thinking in my heart, how to persuade this kid, in case he had a tendon and quit, what should he do? Here now and in the future, it is inseparable from Wei Hao, although it can run normally, but in case the parts are broken, or there are other problems, what should happen then, Li Shimin estimates that no one knows about these ministers, and it still depends on Wei Hao.

"Okay, now you also go and take a rest, dry your clothes, and eat here at noon, I have already brought the imperial chef and the ingredients, let's go!" Li Shimin said and walked back with his hands behind his back, and now he was going to persuade Wei Hao,

And Wei Hao was already asleep on the soft collapse at the moment, Li Yuan was sitting there drinking tea with Li Dejian, and now the two of them were also afraid that Wei Hao would leave, after all, Wei Hao had packed his things and might have to leave at any time.

At this time, Li Shimin also came in.

"Your Majesty!" Li Dejian saw Li Shimin coming over and immediately stood up, and Li Shimin also saw Wei Hao lying there sleeping.

"Wake up Hao'er!" Li Shimin said helplessly to Li Dejian, and Li Dejian immediately went to push Wei Hao.

"Who, there's something wrong!" Wei Hao sat up very reluctantly, and when he saw Li Shimin standing there, he stood up and said to Li Shimin: "Erchen has seen my father!" ”

"Well, come and sit down and say, I'll make tea!" After Li Shimin finished speaking to Wei Hao, he looked at Li Yuan, Li Yuan stood up, got out of the way, and sat down next to him, Wei Hao also sat next to Li Yuan, and Fang Xuanling They also sat around the tea table, as for Fang Zhizhi and them, they were all standing behind, and Li Shimin was very skilled in making tea.

"Hao'er, my father apologizes to you for this matter!" Li Shimin spoke first, and the other ministers immediately looked at Wei Hao.
