In the evening, Qin Feng went to the craftsman's tent after dinner, and asked the craftsman to start making a batch of abrasives tomorrow to avoid the recurrence of smelting iron into a large piece. Yesterday was a shame enough.

After arranging the craftsmen, Qin Feng returned to the tent, Cheng Chumo and Qin Huaiyu were still drinking, seeing this Qin Feng had to admire, and suddenly there was wine, all of them could drink.

"You two drink less, you still have to work tomorrow!" Qin Feng said to the two.

"Okay, I'll go in a minute!" The two smiled and replied.

Qin Feng took out two drawings from his body and handed them to Qin Huaiyu: "Huaiyu, you will bring this drawing tomorrow to repair the furnace first." ”

Qin Huaiyu took the drawing and nodded. Qin Feng turned his head and said to Cheng Chumo: "Chumo, you go and transport some carbon back, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to find us here this time!" ”

"Good!" Cheng Chu acquiesced.

After explaining the matter, the three of them chatted a few more words, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep. But what Qin Feng didn't know was that as soon as he left, Li Tai came to Qinzhuang again with the changed newspaper, but was stopped by Zuowei's people.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wei, Your Majesty has a decree, Qinzhuang has banned any entry and exit in the near future!"

"Do you even stop this king?" Li Tai looked unhappy.

"Your Highness's forgiveness!" The guards bowed and saluted, but they wouldn't give way.

Li Tai looked at it, although he was very angry, but he was also helpless, these soldiers only recognized tokens and did not recognize people.

"Since you don't let this king in, then you go and call Qin Feng to come out, this king is waiting here! Go and move a chair for Ben King! ”

"Back to Your Highness! God-given Hou has left Qinzhuang today, and he is not in Qinzhuang! The guard returned.

"Where?" Li Tai asked.

"Your Highness, this villain can't say it!"

After hearing this, Li Tai reluctantly turned around and left, and walked towards Chang'an, such a big battle in Qinzhuang, I am afraid that Li Shimin will approve it, go back and ask Li Shimin.

An hour later, Li Tai, who was sweating profusely, came to the palace with a newspaper and found Li Shimin, who had just left the court, in the Taiji Palace. After the briefing, Li Tai entered the palace.

"Son-in-law to meet my father!"

"Qingque is here, come on, get up and talk back, look at you sweating profusely, what are you doing!" Li Shimin looked at Li Tai, who was sweating big steamed buns, and asked.

"Erchen has gone to find Qin Feng!" Li Tai said to Li Shimin.

"What are you looking for Qin Feng for?"

"The first edition of the newspaper run by Erchen has come out, I want to find Qin Feng to see if there are any mistakes!"

"Oh? Where are the newspapers? Show it to me! ”

Li Tai took out the rolled newspaper from his arms and handed it to Li Shimin with both hands. Li Shimin took the newspaper and read it.

"Looks good, where did all the articles on this come from?" Li Shimin asked Li Tai while looking at it.

"Back to my father, the articles on the political page were recorded by the sons, and what was written on them were all the state affairs we talked about in the early days of the court, of course, the sons did not write about too important things. The other pages are in charge of Wei Shuyu, Fang Yizhi and Du Gou. Li Tai replied to Li Shimin.

"Wait for me to appreciate my son's literary brilliance." Li Shimin said to Li Tai with a smile.

"Please also ask my father for more advice!" Li Tai said.

In this way, the father and son were chatting about things while reading the newspaper in the Taiji Hall, which was very comfortable. Until nightfall, Gonggong Li walked in from outside with food. Li Shimin came back to his senses, looking at Li Tai, who was already asleep on the side, Li Shimin thought, if he wants to distribute this newspaper to the people, which people's public opinion will be in his hands, no wonder Qin Feng said that when he ran a newspaper, he must be a royal person, if this industry falls into the hands of the family, I am afraid that the emperor will also be unstable. The topics in the newspaper are impartial, they are all from the perspective of the middleman, let the people choose for themselves, this move, just like being the emperor himself, the more fierce the courtiers are noisy, the more fierce the noise, and their throne is the most stable. The other sections, which summarize the knowledge of agriculture and craftsmen, can better guide the lives of the people.

Li Shimin woke up Li Tai, who was sleeping soundly next to him. Li Tai woke up slowly, and when he saw that it was Li Shimin, he was a little flustered, and hurriedly stood up and said to Li Shimin: "Father and Emperor atone!" ”

Li Shimin waved his hand: "Get up, I don't blame you, I read this newspaper, it is doing well, and every edition of the newspaper will be used for me to see in the future!" ”

"Yes, Father." Li Tai replied.

"Okay, come and dine with me, and someone will come and get a pot of wine." Li Shimin said to Li Tai.

"Thank you, Father!"

The father and son ate and drank for a while, and Li Tai said to Li Shimin: "Father, if you want to have any good articles for your sons, you can publish them in the newspapers, so that the people of the world can also appreciate your literary talents!" ”

"Haha, okay, I'll write an article in the next few days!"

"Thank you, Father!"

In this way, the father and son chatted while eating, which was very pleasant.

Ten days later, the mine was filled with smoke. Qin Feng was beside the open hearth that was being built, watching the pig iron slowly reddening and softening in the furnace, his expression was a little nervous, today was already the eighth experiment. Cheng Chumo was beside Qin Feng and asked Qin Feng, "Fengzi, why is that abrasive tool you asked the craftsman to make so strange." ”

Qin Feng pulled the piece of iron that had not yet melted, and replied casually: "What's strange, it's just an arrow!" ”

"Arrows? How about that shape? Cheng Chumo was very puzzled.

"When the time comes, you'll find out in the experiment!" Qin Feng looked at Cheng Chumo with disdain, and the three-edged arrows had all been seen.

"Do you want to make all the arrows into steel?" Cheng asked incredulously towards Qin Feng.

"yes, what's the problem!"

"Fengzi, you are really crazy, what a waste to make arrows out of pure steel! And arrowheads can be made of iron, so why do they have to be made of steel? Cheng asked puzzled.

"Are you a hundred thousand why? Come and stir up the iron, I'm going to rest, it's hot! When you see the effect, you'll like it! Cheng Chumo threw the rake in his hand to Cheng Chumo, and ran to the side to cool off, it was too annoying.

Half an hour later, Qin Feng was rested, and was about to go to see Cheng Chumo, but he heard a loud shout not far away.

"Out of the iron!"

"Hurry up, where is the mold!"

Then I saw a craftsman rushing directly to the iron-making room with a mold. And Qin Feng also ran towards the iron-making room quickly. Although they are all called iron, Qin Fengcheng and the others know that they are practicing steel now, and the workers who are doing it don't know. After all, this matter is too important, and if there is any rumor, I really can't afford it.
