However, what Kuntu didn't expect was that the Han Dynasty's methods were actually far more than that.

Just visiting a Luoyang surround?

It's too inferior.

Just when the Kuntu children were pinning their hopes on their sister-in-law and Wang Bu Hungry to blow the pillow wind, the Ministry of Rites had already begun to summon these envoys from the Western Regions to visit the Eastern Industrial Zone in person.

Let them really see what is really powerful.

And Quintu didn't expect that his sister was still in training.

It is not easy for a Han woman to become a member of the emperor's harem, and she needs to go through various etiquette training and so on.

Not to mention Princess Wusun.

And the first is the language problem, the female officials in the palace need to correct Princess Wusun's thick Luoyang accent.

It's not that you can't have an accent, but the accent can't be too heavy, and when you can't talk to the emperor, you can't talk to the emperor with one mouth, and you can't make me die......

Although it can be used at some point, the things that Lu Jia taught them for Tu Lezi have to be corrected.

Then Princess Wusun also has to learn the etiquette knowledge of the Han Dynasty, what people to see, what kind of etiquette to perform, what level of people to salute with you, how to respond, how to judge a person's official rank by appearance.

Although the harem does not have many opportunities to contact outside officials, there are no absolutes in everything.

Therefore, for a while, Princess Wusun has no chance to serve the emperor.

Besides, it is no longer the time when the ministers followed behind the ass every day, urging the king not to be hungry, marry a wife and have children.

Now the Han Dynasty has three princes and three princesses, and the emperor is still young, and he can still give birth, and there are already people in the successor area, which is nothing more than a question of suitability or inappropriateness.

But whether it is suitable or not, I can't see it now, what can a three- or four-year-old kid see?

Quint is also on the list of expeditions.

I have to say that the scale of the mission is quite large.

However, because it was in the territory of the Han Dynasty, their guards were left in Luoyang, and it was the forbidden army who was responsible for protecting them.

The vehicles lined up in a long line, which was very lively.

The roadside was full of crops that had just sprouted, and wheat that was calf-high, and it was green.

The fields are full of newly built canals.

"Lu Envoy, are these things for irrigation?" An envoy from the Western Regions pointed to the canal erected in the field and asked with a puzzled face.

They hadn't seen it before, and it was winter when they came last year, so they hadn't seen any of it.

"Oh, you say that? Yes, the tools we use for irrigation. Lu Jia glanced at the canal, and his face couldn't help but be filled with pride.

That's right, we Han people don't have any other skills, but the spirit of hard work is very powerful.

"We have too much arable land, and although the water source is still abundant, it is difficult to irrigate it all, but if we don't think about it, the crops will be short of water and the yield will be reduced, but if we irrigate all of them, there will be a shortage of water in far places."

"To solve this problem, we designed this tool so that the water can flow from the river, to the surface, and then all the way to a place dozens of miles away."

"Although the water flow is not large, it is more than twice as efficient compared to the previous watering, and it can also ensure that all the cultivated land has water to use."

Lu Jia also learned about this matter recently when he was idle in the imperial court.

Similarly, because these devices are made of bamboo, they cannot withstand the wind and rain for a long time, in order to ensure the maximum service life.

That's why it's time to put this thing up every year, and of course, the state can't have that much energy to do this kind of thing.

Whoever is responsible for the land, the materials are provided by the imperial court, and the individual is responsible for erection, demolition, storage and protection.

Those that have been used for a few years, or are damaged, can be replaced, and those that have been obsolete are taken back for papermaking.

Anyway, for papermaking, the old and the new are all the same, and there is not much difference.

Soon, the mission came to the first stop of the trip, the mine.

What is there to visit in the mine?

In fact, there's really a lot to see at the mine.

Although it seems to be just a simple manual work, it also contains a huge amount of technology and wisdom.

Originally, many people felt a little unimpressed, but when they approached the mine, one by one's eyes widened.

As far as the eye could see, there were trucks full of iron, and they were lining up and didn't know where to go.

And farther away, the sky was thick with smoke.

Eco-friendly, you say?

Well, there is no such concept in these years, and even if there is such a concept, there is no such technology.

In the face of hard power, these are actually secondary, and if human beings want to develop, they must give up some things.

If you don't make iron, how can you build weapons?

How can you build an army without building weapons?

Without an army, how to resist the Huns?

Therefore, the inevitable result of paying attention to environmental protection now is to wait for the invasion of the Huns.

The iron-smelting plant is confidential, and many things are naturally not allowed for them to see in person, such as the whole process of iron-smelting, and the order and amount of materials added.

But when these envoys from the Western Regions saw that the red molten iron was poured out, and then entered the grinding tool to form the pieces of iron they had seen earlier, they couldn't help but exclaim loudly.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, who would have believed that the big men had already reached this point?

This kind of smelting efficiency is just too high.

"Lu Envoy, will those pieces of iron be directly turned into weapons?" Quintu swallowed his spit.

Seeing so much iron, seeing such a magical iron smelting method, he was also a little afraid.

It is no wonder that the Han people even have iron for their agricultural tools, and they can't even make all their weapons and equipment, and with this kind of production capacity, it is far from what they can compete with.

"Well, haven't you seen the approximate steps?" Lu Jia continued to nod his head with an unfathomable expression.

What they see is certainly not the final result.

They weren't even allowed to see the hydro forging machine workshop, what they saw was a hand-built forging machine, powered by animal power.

Similar to the tension mill, a special device is used to make the tamper fall down the track when it reaches a certain height.

The efficiency is a little slower than that of a hydraulic forging machine, but it is also a lot faster than the previous one.

Moreover, the current hydraulic forging machine has been upgraded.

In the past, it was necessary to lift the tamper to a high place and fall, relying on its own weight and the force of the fall.

And now there is no need to raise so high, basically it is enough to raise the height of one arm, which once again improves the efficiency of forging.

At the beginning, the forging machine could only complete the preliminary processing, and the final step still needed someone to hammer and forge it by himself.

But now there is no need for it, and the model of the assembly line has been thoroughly studied.

A team is equipped with three different forging machines, the first of which is used for rough billet making, which is finalized.

The second is used for subsequent fine processing, which is made into the specific shape of the weapon and the required thickness.

The third is used for final finishing, followed by the same hydraulic mill for cutting and then tempering for quality improvement.

What the mission saw was specially used for their tours, and the efficiency was more than twice as low as that of the forging machine workshop, and it was still in early mode.

But even this scared them a lot.

As for the pieces of iron, they were just for ease of transportation.

Here, too, rough work is carried out to refine the iron, leaving behind the waste residue, and when it arrives at the place, it is smelted twice, the quality of the iron is improved, and it is forged into steel, and then the iron blocks, or ingots, that they see in the armory.

After a visit, the crowd began to go up the mountain.

The smelter at the foot of the mountain, the mine on the mountain.

And between the mine and the smelter, a cable car was erected.

The cable car is very simple, but the effect is very good, the mined iron ore is directly put into the hanging basket, and then the hanging basket is hung on the hook reserved above, and the livestock at both ends are rotated, and the ore from the mountain is transported to the smelter below the mountain by using the layout of high and low.

The advantage of this is that the time and efficiency of ore transportation is greatly saved, and more people can be used for mining.

"It's shocking......"

"yes, there are almost thousands of people here......

"I think it's almost tens of thousands, some are mining, some are crushing large ores, and some are transporting."

"Do you know where the scariest place is?"

“？？？”

"Look at the guys in their hands......"

After being reminded, everyone turned their attention to the tools in the hands of the absentees.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it's even more shocking when you look at it.

Crowbars, pickaxes, sledgehammers, not to mention the complete range of tools, and most importantly, they are also strong and durable, better than the quality of the weapons in their hands.

If this is in the Western Regions, even if there are these materials, they are reluctant to let them use them to open mines, and they will definitely give priority to making various weapons.

This kind of good thing, who is willing to let it be so ruined?

But here, they're really ruining it.

Well, people have a lot of resources, and they build them at will.

In fact, by the time I saw this, most people's psychological defenses had already been broken.

There is no other reason, along the way, there are farmland everywhere, and there is no need to worry about food and clothing.

Now that they have seen such a powerful smelting and mining capacity, everyone is sure that Dahan must have more than this one mine, and there must be more mines.

And what about the things behind them that they don't see?

Hiss......

Many people couldn't help but gasp because they thought that this was just the first stop of the tour.

There is also a so-called eastern industrial area, which is said to be more prosperous and larger, and most of the goods they need come from there.
