"Uh....."

Li Zexuan was stunned, and then wondered: "Why is this?" Is there still a surplus of iron ore in Chang'an City? ”

When he heard Faber say that he couldn't buy iron, he subconsciously thought that iron ore couldn't be bought, but when he heard Fuber say this, it was obviously not the case!

Fu Bo said as a matter of course: "Young Master, isn't this normal?" There are only so many companies in Chang'an City that can smelt iron, where can they consume so much iron ore? Naturally, there is a surplus! ”

The beginning of iron smelting in China was around the Spring and Autumn period. Due to the rich experience of smelting and casting bronze at that time, progress was rapid, and pig iron and "block iron" appeared almost simultaneously. The smelting temperature of block iron is low, there are many inclusions, but the carbon content is low, close to wrought iron, the melting point is high, the texture is soft, and it is suitable for forging utensils; The smelting temperature of pig iron is high, the amount of sulfur and phosphorus is large, the texture is hard and brittle, but wear-resistant, and it is suitable for casting utensils.

Since the Han Dynasty, various metal smelting and processing technologies have been comprehensively developed, and the technology tends to be finalized. For example, the 100 steelmaking technology is not commonly used due to its low efficiency. As an early form of steel filling process, the sutetsu rule has been widely used.

The iron-smelting technology of the Sui and Tang dynasties continued to develop on the previous road, without much breakthrough, mainly following the "steel filling method" at the end of the Han Dynasty, the smelting efficiency was not high, and the iron-smelting business of this era was owned by the state.

Li Zexuan secretly rolled his eyes, and said in his heart, if I had known that this was the case, I would have waited until now?

"Alas! That's it! Since this is already the case, it is not bad for ten days and half a month! When the workshop has built the iron-smelting equipment, the iron ore in Yifang County should almost be transported back! When the time comes, there will be no shortage of iron in our workshop! ”

Li Zexuan sighed and said helplessly.

"That's all there is to it! If the young master has nothing else to do, then the old man will go back to the workshop first! ”

Fu Bo couldn't help but smile when he heard Li Zexuan's confidence in the second half of his sentence, and then said goodbye.

"Hmmm! Fu Bo, you old man also have to pay attention to your body, and if you have something to do, you can tell the people below to do it! Don't get tired! ”

Li Zexuan said with concern.

To be honest, Fauber is so old and still busy, and he can't help it. But at present, he really has no candidate at hand who can replace Fubo! Fubin may be able to do it in the future, but now he is still too immature to take on a big responsibility! If he could, he really wanted Fauber to live a long life, a hundred or a thousand years!

"Huh! Young master, don't worry, the old man is in good health! ”

With that, Fauber went out.

………………………………

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Yong'an asks to see you!"

In the afternoon, in the Ganlu Palace, Li Er was busy reading the chapters, this is the end of the year, there are always a lot of things, he has been busy until late at night for many days! Compared with Li Zexuan, who is at ease, he is more bitter when he is the emperor. At this moment, the attendant of the yellow door outside the hall came in and bowed down.

"Well, let him in!"

Li held the red pen in his hand and said without raising his head.

"No!"

After a while, Li Zexuan stepped in from outside the hall and bowed respectfully: "Minister, see Your Majesty!" ”

"Excuse me, what?"

Li Er's words were like gold, and he said softly.

Li Zexuan inexplicably felt choked, paused, and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the iron ore you asked your ministers to find has now been found, located near Huojia Village, Yifang County, Your Majesty can directly send someone to receive it!" ”

Li Er finally raised his head when he heard this, "Oh? So fast? It seems that your ability to find ore is quite effective! ”

Aren't ordinary people looking for iron ore for three years and five years? How can there be a person like Li Zexuan, who has found five ore veins in more than a month, and now this is a real home mine!

"Look at it like this, you kid has gained a lot this time! Talk to me! ”

Li Erhui's eyes were like torches, and he hit the nail on the head with one word.

Lao Li is asking knowingly! Li Zexuan didn't believe that Li Er would not know about these news, after all, what kind of Baiqi "secret service" is not a vegetarian!

"Uh...... The people sent by the minister found two iron mines, two sulfur mines, and a coal mine! His Majesty said before that he only needed iron ore, so the other mines didn't say anything just now! ”

The implication is that Lao Li, as the king of a country, you have to talk about it!

What kind of character is Li Er, how can he not see Li Zexuan's flowery intestines? He said angrily: "Stinky boy! Am I going to backtrack? ”

"Where can it! Your Majesty is wise and sageful, even if all the people in the world rebel, Your Majesty, you will definitely not! ”

Li Zexuan smiled and sent a sycophant.

Li Er snorted and said, "Don't wear a top hat for me!" Where's the other iron ore you've found? ”

Li Zexuan's brows furrowed slightly, and then he stretched out again without a trace, and he replied: "Your Majesty, another iron mine is also in Yifang County, but it is about twenty miles away from Huojia Village, and it is located near Taohua Village!" ”

Li Er smiled meaningfully, and then said, "That iron mine must have more ore than this iron ore in Huojia Village, right?" ”

Li Zexuan secretly scolded Li Er in his heart for being an old fox, but he said, "Your Majesty! Where is this kind of thing accurate? According to the report from the person sent by the minister, there is no difference between the two iron mines from the outside, and as for what is going on inside, the minister has no idea at all! ”

That being said, the actual situation is roughly the same, but well, when this goods came, I compared the map, and recalled the distribution map of mineral resources in the previous life, and found that the iron ore near Taohua Village was thirty percent higher than the iron ore reserves in Huojia Village!

That's why he handed over the iron ore in Huojia Village to Li Er!

Li Erhu glanced at Li Zexuan suspiciously, although what Li Zexuan said was similar to the information he had gotten, he still couldn't help but suspect that there was a ghost in it! After all, Li Zexuan is too clever and clever! If you are not careful, you will be deceived by him!

"I believe you!"

Anyway, there are too many mines, and they won't be able to finish refining by then!

After a while, Li Er sighed helplessly and said, "The rest of the matter, I will let it"
