Li Xin walked into his eldest brother's study and saw that Li Ren was angry, and asked incomprehensibly, "Why is the eldest brother so angry?" ”

"Come and see, I originally said that a little city seeker should not have so much courage, and after reading the confession today, I realized that Zhao Yun is not easy to get along with." Liren said thoughtfully.

Rational and agreed: "Yes, the Zhao Yun recorded in history has been beautified, if Zhao Yun is not very scheming, he will not be the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty." Thinking about the weakening of Shi Miyuan's power now, this is all due to him Zhao Yun, but no one can easily see it. ”

"That's right! You are right, this is the real Zhao Yun, on the surface, everything seems to be accidental, but the real behind the scenes is planned by him Zhao Yun, his purpose now is very simple, to directly destroy the evidence against him, to achieve the purpose of preserving himself. Rihito said as he thought.

"Brother! So what do you think we should do now? Rational asked.

Rihito stood up and walked back and forth and said, "The priority now is to train us to be steely, so that we can arm ourselves to the teeth so that they cannot easily destroy us. The last thing is the religion that I told you, and only by using religion can some people come to us, and it will make them much more faithful. At present, we just lack a strategic depth, and it is not always a way to retreat to the mountains, and it is better to have a place where we can develop safely, and in my opinion, Taiwan is the best place, and this third thing must be acted upon immediately. ”

Rational nodded in agreement: "Yes! ”

"Tomorrow you are ready to go, and you must crash all the guns on your ship." Liren said firmly.

"Okay! But if all the artillery arrives on my ship, won't the island be defenseless? Rational said worriedly.

Liren waved his hand and said, "Don't leave any of them, you bring them all, and bring more people over." By the way, how much can the whole ship be filled with people? ”

"If it is crowded, a battleship will carry a total of about 5,000 people." Rational calculations said.

Li Ren bowed his head and immediately said: "Okay, you take 15,000 people to Taiwan Island first, and when you are ready, all our ordinary people will withdraw to Taiwan." ”

Li thought for a while and said: "It's good, it's good, but even if tens of thousands of us go to Taiwan, we don't have much future for development." ”

"Rest assured, at least 200,000 people will follow us to Taiwan, you can rest assured now." Rihito said with a smile.

Li Xin suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, my heart is ready to go, but what about religion?" ”

"You bring me Taiwan first, and don't think about the rest. When you come back, I will give you a copy of the Doctrine, and then you will be the Pope. Rihito patted Lixin on the shoulder and said.

On the second day, Richim set out on the vast sea with the prepared supplies and personnel, and after Richito had arranged everything, he was ready to start making a big show on the larger steelmaking furnace.

A tall steel-making furnace was erected in the center of the sword, and a large number of warriors were arranged around it, and it was persuaded that martial law should be imposed all day, and no one would want to take a step out of the island without a pass issued by Rihito himself. Liren on the shore has given Zhang Lei full agency, and Liren strictly ordered him to nip in the bud all people and things that may threaten him, and during his absence, he may not conflict with Zhao Yun.

In the past few days, Liren has also received information, first, Jia Rudao has lived up to expectations, and has sealed the Yuan people in the land of Xiangyang, and has not yet recaptured Xiangyang City. Second, Sichuan and Shu have become an area where corpses are everywhere and there are no people for hundreds of miles.

Only the last piece of this information made Rihito very angry, but he knew that his strength was still very small, and it was impossible to compete with the Mongols and the imperial court, and now he had to develop himself first to face the enemies on both sides.

Rihito shook his head, put everything down and began refining the steel that was most important to him. Large steelmaking furnaces are obviously different from small ones, and the crucibles that are now loaded with molten steel are ten times the size of the original, so it is difficult to take the large crucibles out of the steelmaking furnaces. At this time, Merlin suggested on the side: "Big island master, do you think this is good, dig a hole at the bottom of the crucible, just like the method used in the usual smelting of pig iron, and when the molten steel is boiled, directly open the hole just past the bottom, so that it will flow out naturally." ”

Liren repeatedly calculated, "That's good, give it a try." ”

As soon as he said to do it, he asked the master to prepare a connected pipe at the bottom, and the potter said: "If you use the pipe directly, it is better to use the pipe." ”

Li Ren didn't understand, but when he looked at the pottery master, he drew a V-shaped shape on the ground and said, "This is the way." ”

"Oh!" Rihito finally understood, it turned out to be a V-shape. Then Liren asked: "Then how to solve the problem of temporarily blocking the hole at the bottom and opening it when you use it?" ”

Several potters touched the bottom of the crucible with their hands, and after thinking about it repeatedly, they said: "In this way, make a pottery movable door at the bottom, and when you use it, you only need to use an iron rod to pick it up, and the molten steel will flow out along it." Rihito nodded in agreement with the potters' thoughts.

In this way, there is one more thing on the bottom side of the crucible, and Rihito is a little worried about the heating of the molten steel, but in this case, as long as this method can be used.

With the idea of trying, Rihito had the bottom furnace filled with fuel, filling the inside of the cauldron with iron and accessories, and then adding a special cauldron to it, and then filling the upper part with fuel. It took half a day to finally start the furnace, and the flames rushed to the inside of the bottom and feeding, and the wind from the blower poured into the inside of the furnace. Gradually, the entire stove began to heat up and turn red, and people who were roasted within a zhang did not dare to approach, and only Rihito could barely get close to the stove after using his true qi. After observation, a large cauldron of auxiliary materials and iron finally began to melt.

Three days passed, and Rihito stayed by the fireside, observing the inside of the furnace and stirring the iron inside the crucible. The small ones are not as big as the big ones, this is a true portrayal of Rihito's mood these days, with rabbit-like red eyes, he has been looking at the situation in the furnace, not daring to be careless for a moment, and he has to say the observed situation out loud, so that the person in charge of recording can hear it. Now his throat is dry, his eyes are hurting, and his head is a little dizzy.

Finally, on the fourth day, the water began to turn bright yellow, and Rihito hurriedly said to his assistant: "Quick! Add bone meal, add pig iron, add quicklime! ”

The accessories slid down the packing trough into the crucible, and for a moment the surface of the crucible emitted a blue flame, reflecting the bright yellow of the inside, and Rihito now felt that it was really the happiest moment.

After the quicklime was added and another day of refining, the stickers finally began to bubble up like pearls. Rihito yelled at them, "It's on!" ”

Dozens of strong men carried the big mold to the exit of the molten steel, and Liren hurriedly picked up the small trap at the bottom of the crucible with an iron rod, and the bright yellow molten steel finally flowed out and into the mold.

At this time, Liren couldn't care about success or not, and quickly ran to the side of the bed specially prepared for him, and fell asleep until noon the next day, when he was woken up from hunger. But the first thing he said when he opened his eyes was, "Did the steel succeed this time?" ”

The subordinates and Merlin all looked at Li Ren happily and affirmed: "Lord Qiqi, it has been successful!" And it's even better than 100 steels. ”

"The lord is really a god!" Chen Lin praised on the side.

At this time, a beautiful girl ran in from outside the door, looking at Liren lying on the bed, and only shed tears in distress. A handsome guy ran in from He Qi and said to the girl, "Sister, don't be angry." ”

The handsome guy's words immediately attracted everyone's eyes, and the girl stretched out her right index finger to him at this time and booed at his mouth: "Brother! Be quiet, don't wake up Liren, if you wake him up, I'll be with you. ”

Liren looked carefully, and the last one to come in was Lehi, his most intimate cousin. Li Ren sat up on the bed and shouted, "Cousin Lehi, don't come here to sit down." ”

Only then did Lehi notice that Rihito had woken up and shrugged to look at his sister. My sister rolled her eyes and stretched out her little fist to compare. Lehi had to laugh first before walking towards Rihito.

Li Hai came to the bedside, and Li Ren asked with a smile, "Is that Li Yuan?" ”

Lehi nodded and said, "Lord, don't blame my sister!" ”

"Huh! How could it! It was my fault that day, and my mind was too chaotic to recognize that it was Yuan'er. Rihito said to Lehi with a smile.

The girl on the side slowly turned her head and said with tears in her eyes: "Brother Ren, it's all Yuan'er's fault, you shouldn't be angry at that time." After speaking, Li Yuan ran to Liren and sat in front of the bed, and asked with tears in her eyes: "Brother Ren, are you still uncomfortable?" ”

Rihito rolled up his sleeves to show his biceps and said, "Hehe! Look at how fit I am, how can I be okay now. I just hadn't slept for too long. ”

"It's good if you don't have it! Do you know how worried I was at the time, but I blamed you for the order, so that no one could help you! Li Yuan said with a smile.

Liren stretched out his hand and scratched Li Yuan's little nose, and said, "It's not a place for your girl's house, we were all naked at the time, if you go to a girl's house." Hehe! It's immoral. ”

Everyone next to him saw that Liren had talked to Li Yuan again, and they all withdrew.

Long! Li Ren finally reconciled with Li Yuan, and their relationship was even stronger. Li Ren stretched out his waist and came to the steel mill with Li Yuan, only to see that every worker was working hard to clean up the residue in the furnace and clean up the steel ingots that Li Ren had made that day.

After taking the steel ingot, Li Ren couldn't help but say to a master blacksmith: "Master will build a crossbow arm for me, and see if my steel is successfully refined this time." So please be sure to have a snack. ”

"I understand the big island master, I will deliver it to you tomorrow."
