Nimi was almost in ignorance, and was put on the broad robe of Boguan that he had always resisted in the past, and even thought that it was a "useless thing" and "dragging" by Zhang Yue and several Dahonglu officials.

The crimson black hanfu is worn on the body, and the gorgeous crown hat binds the hair.

Not to mention......

It's so comfortable!

Even in the bitter cold temperatures of winter, he felt as if his body was about to warm up!

I don't understand, what is the situation?

However, he did not stop and refuse after all.

Instead, he lowered his head and looked at the decorations on his body.

For some reason, a strange thought suddenly occurred in Nimi's heart.

"The clothes of the Han Dynasty seem to be quite mighty!" He lifted the ribbon slightly, there was no imaginary trouble, but there were some unexpected surprises, it seems that the real big man and warrior should wear such a costume!

Before he had time to think about it again, Zhang Yue was already holding the Son of Heaven Festival and striding forward.

The mud was muddy for a moment, and then he involuntarily followed.

The entire mission immediately followed.

Zhang Yue glanced back, then smiled and said nothing.

…………………………………………

Two hours later, Zhang Yue took the Wusun delegation to a river bay fifty miles east of Xiao Pass.

The Rolling Jingshui River, through which it flows southward to the Wei River Plain downstream, and finally joins the Wei River and flows into the Yellow River.

And at the bay where the river turns, it is the most important pig iron smelting base in Guanzhong of the Shaofu of the Qin and Han dynasties.

The annual production of iron is nearly 100,000 catties, about 25 tons.

This is indeed a terrible number before the Common Era!

At least the whole world except China can be beaten!

Just close to this place, you can see that billowing smoke rises into the sky, and dozens of iron-smelting shaft furnaces rise from the ground.

The scene is quite similar to the earthen blast furnace built in a remote township during the great steel smelting in later generations.

Of course, there may be differences in some technologies.

But in general, the similarity is very high!

Later archaeological discoveries can also corroborate this point.

For example, the site of the late shaft furnace of the Western Han Dynasty unearthed from Guxing Town, after restoration, is 4.5 meters high, the long axis is 4 meters, the short axis is also 2 meters, the effective volume exceeds 50 cubic meters, and a large number of refractory bricks fired with quartz sand are used, using limestone as an accelerant.

With such a super shaft furnace, the daily output of cast iron may even reach the limit of one ton!

Of course, the biggest problem in the Han iron smelting industry is not actually the output.

It's raw materials!

There is less and less iron ore that can be mined in the open pit, and people have to take the risk of mining iron ore beneath the surface.

Zhang Yue looked back at Wusun Xiao Kunmo who was following behind him, and said softly, "Please, messenger!" ”

Ni Mi was a little surprised, looked at the smelting base in front of him, which was far beyond his imagination, and asked hesitantly, "This is here?" ”

"A place where the messenger can be inspired!" Zhang Yue said softly.

After listening to the translation's words, Nimi nodded thoughtfully.

Then he followed Zhang Yue's pace and walked to the workshop in front.

The members of the Wusun Mission, who followed him, followed along while discussing.

For them, this strange place in front of them that spews black smoke is really amazing!

They can't even imagine that such a building could exist in this world?

As soon as they stepped inside the workshop, which was surrounded by walls and fences, a wave of heat swept in.

The sight in front of them stunned all of them even more.

After the outbreak of the Han-Hungarian full-scale war, the military demand has made the iron-smelting technology of the Han Shaofu have to be improved!

Better smelting technology, more heat-resistant refractory bricks, more efficient smelting methods, and faster ore screening methods are constantly being summarized.

It's just that because there is no systematic system and institution responsible for technological upgrading.

As a result, these innumerable technologies and new tools, which have been spawned by the war, have been hovering between progress and degradation.

Even so, the sight of this workshop is scary enough!

Shaft furnaces are built on the mountain.

A huge furnace, billowing smoke, flowing red molten iron.

Several large waterwheels rotate slowly, driving a simple mechanism that blows up the bulging sacs and sends air into the furnace.

In front of each shaft furnace, there are long queues.

Hundreds of craftsmen and workers, sweating like rain, will freshly baked cast iron, all kinds of processing.

It's all like a pair of ukiyo-e.

The entire Wusun Mission was in shock.

Nimi took a deep breath and exclaimed, "This is the place where iron is smelted?!! ”

He had seen the iron-smelting workshops built by the Huns in the cities of Zhaoxin and Weilu in the Xiongnu.

There is not much difference between the Xiongnu people smelting iron and the Wusun people, Dawan people, and Kangju people smelting bronze.

Iron ore is crushed by hand and then placed with charcoal in a simple crucible placed on the surface.

As the flame rises, the iron ore burns along with the charcoal, eventually resulting in some lumps of pig iron.

Then, a dozen strong men repeatedly forged a piece of iron of good quality, which was then processed into various weapons.

Therefore, he was very dismissive of iron, and felt that if Wusun did not have iron ore, he could produce a large amount of iron in a minute.

But now, he knew he had been wrong!

The iron-smelting workshop of the Huns, compared with the iron-smelting workshop of the Han Dynasty, is completely the stone tool processing place of the savages!

He stared at a shaft furnace in front of him that was pouring out a large amount of molten iron, and he didn't dare to take his eyes off the slightest.

"No wonder, the Huns did not dare to fight the Han head-on......"

"No wonder, the whole world doesn't dare to offend Han ......"

"Such a method of iron smelting, such a scale of iron smelting ......"

Mud muttered to herself.

The entire Wusun Mission was even more shocked and stunned.

Now, each of them has seen with their own eyes the scale and speed of the Han Dynasty's advanced iron-smelting centers.

Everyone was blown away!

They ask themselves, such a scale, such an efficiency, such a horrific mode of production.

The Huns can't do it!

As for Wusun......

It can't be done at all!

Because......

Not to mention the others, there are hundreds of skilled blacksmiths in this workshop, even if they sell Wusun, they can't make it up!

Not to mention, those tall and strange brick furnaces, and those even more incomprehensible behemoths!

The people of the Han Dynasty are no longer strong enemies!

It's monsters!

Naked monsters!

Who can defeat such a monster?

Who can overcome Him?

He closed his eyes in pain, and the moment he saw these blast furnaces and those craftsmen, he felt his heart shatter into pieces!

Until this moment, he had to admit that the Han Dynasty was not only powerful!

Even in other aspects, it is the existence of crushing Wusun and Xiongnu.

In front of such a monster, Wusun has no chance of winning!

Zhang Yue stood aside, carefully observing the expressions of the people in the Wusun Mission.

He knew that his plan had taken the first step towards success!

The effect of deterrence even exceeded his original expectations!

The looks and appearances of these Wusun people are almost the same as the neon Yamamoto Fifty-six of later generations, and they have a fight when they see those steel mills and industrial bases in Midi!

Sometimes, flexing your muscles doesn't have to be in the military.

Industrial production, probably more powerful than the cannons of giant ships!

In the present era, the industrial strength and production efficiency of the Han Dynasty, although they may add up, are not as strong as the small steel mills eliminated in a remote township in later generations.

But for the whole world, it is like a bug.

…………………………

Until he left the smelting workshop, the entire Wusun Mission was in a dejected look.

Even if Zhang Yue took them to a nearby palace and held a reception banquet for them, looking at the table full of wine and food, these people had no intention of tasting it.

The mud is even more like losing a soul.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, made up his mind, took a translator of his own, held a wine glass, walked up to Zhang Yue, touched his chest with his left hand, and asked: "Han Dynasty servant, dare to ask Your Excellency, what should Wusun do to be like your country?" ”

After listening to the translator's words, Zhang Yue got up slightly and arched his hand: "What did your envoy ask?" ”

"Just now, the place where Your Excellency took me to see it...... Ni Mi took a step forward and looked at Zhang Yue with burning eyes: "What should Wusun do to have it!" ”

Although, Ni Mi felt in his heart that the minister of the Han Dynasty would definitely not answer this question.

After all, such a militaristic weapon, if it is changed to any country, it will be strictly kept secret.

However, there is no loss in asking, what if the other party answers?

After listening to the translator's words, Zhang Yue smiled slightly and said, "The envoy's question is too big......

"However, this official can just answer ......"

Hearing this, Nimi immediately stepped forward and bowed his head and asked, "Please give me advice!" ”

The attitude softened all of a sudden, like a child asking an adult for candy.

"Judging from the development experience of the country, if you want to be like the country, with such technology and the scale of the workshop, the first thing your country needs to do is to rule the country!"

"Respect for knowledge, filial piety to parents, loyalty to the king......"

"In short, edification!"

"Indoctrination?" Nimi doesn't understand very well.

"Yes!" Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Teacher, teach the people to respect and humble etiquette, and transform the people into shame and shame!" ”

"Both respect and humility, and then etiquette, etiquette and shame, shame, shame and shame!"

"Such a minister of the country, loyal to the monarch and patriotic, ruling the people, filial piety to parents and brothers, so the country governs, the country governs the country, and the hundred workers prosper naturally, and there are all kinds of skills and equipment!"

"It is precisely for this reason that the kings, sages and sons of heaven of our country have all taken it as their responsibility to educate the world!"

"Cover our country, armaments, armaments, utensils, laws, and documents are all based on education!"

Nimi listened to the translator's words and fell into deep thought.

Zhang Yue's words, of course he understood.

However, his attention was attracted by something else.

As the heir of Usun Kunmo, as the next generation of the Usun royal family, Kunmo.

Nimi's dissatisfaction with Wusun's current status quo has been around for a long time!

But, all along, there is nothing he can do.

After all, the split within Wusun stems from the split between two different interest groups.

Moreover, the power structure and political system of the Wusun Kingdom also made the Wusun people in fact fall into internal strife.

In fact, even the Xiongnu were often mired in civil strife and political strife.

Since Maudun, the Huns lost as much of a population in civil strife and civil war as they did in the Han war!

Even during the years of the war with the Han, the Xiongnu court never stopped infighting.

Just like now, the power struggle between Xian Xian and Hu Lu Gu is happening!

In the past, Nimi thought that this was the norm in the world.

And so it was with what he had seen and heard.

However......

The minister of the Han Dynasty sitting opposite him, the Han Dynasty man who crushed him in strength.

But an important message was revealed - in the Han Dynasty, was it not like this?

The people of the Han Dynasty, everyone was loyal to their own king, obeyed the king, and obeyed the king!

This......

For any ruler, it is a sound of heaven.

Who doesn't want to have a monopoly on power?

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is the only way to explain how the monster of the Han Dynasty was born.

From the standpoint of the ruler of the mud, of course he would not think about anything else.

He can only think that it must be the people of the Han Dynasty who first achieved all their allegiance to their king, so that there is today.

Thereupon......

Everything is straightened out.

"What if ......," Nimi imagined in his heart, "Wusun can also be like the Han, all the nobles, herdsmen, and slaves are loyal and obedient to Kunmo, and everyone is loyal...... Why worry about Wusun? ”
