At this time, Zheng Ling had already returned, and seeing that the scene was in a mess, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to clean up, and he also handed Qin Zheng slurry water.

Qin Zheng, who was red-eyed, took the cup and took a big sip, as if he wanted to pour out the anger in his heart. However, the slurry water seems to really have a kind of magic, and Qin Zheng is a little calmer than just now after drinking it.

Only then did he speak: "The Shang Dynasty continues to follow what Zhao Gao said, and I don't know anything about Wu Geng, and as for the future break, I'll talk about it later." ”

Everyone saluted to show their obedience, and Qin Zheng seemed to be a little tired, and said directly: "If there is nothing else important, you can go back and rest, I plan to go to the craftsman to have a look." If you want to come, follow along. ”

After saying that, Qin Zheng went straight behind the screen to change his clothes, and without waiting for the other people's response, Zheng Ling hurriedly brought someone in to serve.

Everyone present is old, and they all know what Yingzheng's temper is, even if Qin Zheng has changed a lot, but the strength of the screwing has not changed, so none of them left, just waited quietly in place.

After a while, Qin Zheng changed into clothes, and it was not ordinary clothes, but a leather armor for convenience, which was also customized by Qin Zheng for himself with reference to military programs.

Although it is a large piece of leather, it has good defense, and it is also a good comfortable type, and it is even light and breathable, which is more convenient than the dress of the Qin Dynasty.

Qin Zheng took the sword handed by Zheng Ling, and when he saw that none of the people left, he spoke directly: "Follow me." ”

After speaking, he strode out of the study, and Yingyi and the others also hurried to follow, but Qin Zheng seemed to be angry in his heart and going faster and faster.

Yingyi and Shen Buxian gradually fell behind when they got older, and in the end, they could only let Zhao Gao and the little internal officials mix. Even Zilian, who has always been in good health, almost couldn't bear it, and only Zhao Gao kept up with Qin Zheng's pace.

However, Qin Zheng didn't seem to see him for a while, he just walked with his head down, not mentioning where to go at all, and finally after everyone walked out for nearly an hour, they finally arrived at their destination - Shanglin Yuan!

Looking at the scene in front of him, Zhao Gao was a little puzzled (as far as he still had the strength to doubt), didn't Your Majesty say to go to the craftsman? Isn't that the Shaofu not far from the Imperial Study? Why did you get to Shanglin Yuan, could it be that you want to hunt?

However, Qin Zheng quickly answered his question, only to see that he led everyone to an unknown small river in this royal garden, and suddenly pointed ahead and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think it is?" ”

As soon as Qin Zheng spoke, everyone hurriedly looked in the direction that Qin Zheng pointed out, and saw that there was a dam upstream of the small river, and there was a huge gear machine next to the dam, and next to the machine was a tall chimney.

Zhao Gao has always been concerned about the new law and has some understanding of those new technologies, but he is still not sure what it is, so he can only guess based on what he has seen in the past: "This is ...... Mill? ”

Qin Zheng shook his head and said, "There are similarities but no. In fact, it was a hydraulic forging hammer, and next to him was a coke blast furnace. ”

Although Qin Zheng opened his mouth to explain, everyone still didn't understand at all, these two words were definitely new in their ears.

Qin Zheng didn't say much, but walked straight to the blast furnace, and the people who followed closely saw that there were still hundreds of workers inside, busy and full of "clanging" blows.

As a result, as soon as they came, a group of craftsmen quickly stopped what they were doing, saluted them, and said, "Your Majesty, ten thousand years!" ”

Qin Zheng showed a long-lost smile and raised his hand, and Zheng Ling immediately stepped forward, took out a bag of freshly minted silver coins, and handed it to the person who seemed to be the leader.

After the craftsman accepted the reward with fear and joy, Qin Zheng spoke: "What about Zhang Cang? I want to see what you do. ”

The craftsman hurriedly stepped forward and said embarrassedly: "Back to Your Majesty, Lord Zhang was here in the morning, and I went back to rest in vain just now......

As soon as Qin Zheng heard it, he knew that Zhang Cangshi was lazy, but he didn't bother to care, anyway, as long as he could produce results, Qin Zheng could also send money even if he didn't go to work.

"Your Majesty, would I like to take you to visit and test it?" The old craftsman remedied.

Qin Zheng nodded, motioning for him to lead the way, the old craftsman looked excited, straightened his waist and walked with his head, and said as he walked:

"Your Majesty, our workshop has a blast furnace, a nitrate refining field, two forging hammers, one large, medium and one mill, one charcoal room, and three brick kilns.

At present, the main work is to burn bricks and make iron, and by the way, I practice burning porcelain and coking and frying steel, and the forging started relatively late.

However, the hydraulic forging hammer has been installed, but it has not been thawed and has not been used, but everyone is familiar with animal power, and the forging speed can reach five times that of before, and it is estimated that it can be improved if the hydraulic power can be operated.

As for the steel output of the entire workshop, it has reached 3,000 catties of furnace output, which is 16 times that of the same manpower, plus a series of projects such as forging equipment and polishing.

It can produce 300 spears, 500 swords, 3,200 arrowheads, 30 sets of iron plate armor, and 400 horseshoes per month, which is the same as the original craftsman, but our manpower and materials are only one-fifth! ”

The words of the craftsman were full of pride in his work, and he finally got the opportunity to explain to His Majesty, and the old man was not enough when he said it......

Qin Zheng naturally knew the advantages of the new technology, and only nodded his head from time to time to show his encouragement to them, but Yingyi Zhao and others next to him were already stunned.

One-fifth of the manpower and materials, the same working hours can create the same output, and this group of people also has to "part-time" burn bricks and porcelain, so how terrible would it be to produce it with all their might?

Finally, the old man finished telling everything he knew, and the corners of his mouth foamed, and he stopped unsatisfied.

Qin Zheng stepped forward at this time, patted the old man's shoulder cordially and said, "Good job, wait for the national promotion I will appoint you to be a technician!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Zheng Ling and motioned for him to hand the old man a bowl of water, and at this time, the sharp-eyed Zhao Gao found that the bowl that Zheng Ling was holding was a fired porcelain bowl.

It seems that even if this workshop can't produce those handicraft-level porcelain, it is enough to make a civilian home version, and if Bai Pu is here, he can understand how good this is.

Then Qin Zheng picked up the unfinished steel sword next to him, took out the iron bar prepared next to him, and slashed it heavily on it.

Only to hear "When!" With a bang, the pig iron bar with the thickness of the little finger was directly cut into two sections by the steel sword, effortlessly, and the section was very neat!

Everyone is even more stunned at this time, this is a real iron cutting like mud, if the simple output change is not enough to prove, then the quality of the crushing is irrefutable!

Qin Zheng held the steel sword with one hand, approached him, and sure enough, he saw the fine pattern, this is the result of repeated forging of animal power, if such a sword used to take dozens of days for the master to work!

Qin Zheng raised his head and laughed: "Hahaha, my Great Qin has this kind of sharp weapon, why worry about the world not being unified?" Come, come, bring me up again, and give you all the knowledge of the ministers! ”
