"This is good!"

Nine thousand years old's eyes lit up all at once.

Obviously, he has thought of the consequences in an instant, which is obviously beneficial to the northern scholars, not to mention that the proportion of northern scholars who can ride horses must be far higher than that in the south, especially those in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who are soaked on the Qinhuai River, and if they want to ride horses and shoot arrows, they will definitely lag behind the north.

The northerner's chances of being out of the armor immediately increased dramatically.

The northern scholars will support it.

And in the northwest, Liaodong and these places will cheer even more.

They can almost say that they can take the top ten, you must know that the average area under the jurisdiction of the capital of Liaodong may not be able to produce a jinshi, in fact, in the past three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong has produced more than 20 jinshi, not as good as a fraction of the fraction of the south Zhili, and a family of imperial examinations in Changzhou is estimated to be able to catch up with the entire Liaodong. Similarly, there are border places such as Gansu or Shaanxi Xingdusi, and if they use this way, they can almost say that they can win these ten palace examination qualifications every year.

Such an assessment standard must be very low, and the soldiers in these places can more or less ride and shoot.

The top three are also Jinshi.

And as the leaders of this reform, he and Yang Xin, the two eunuchs, will immediately gain the gratitude of the scholars in these places, and after they rely on this method to pass the Jinshi, they are naturally part of the eunuch party, and they can be reused by manipulating them casually.

These people will follow firmly in the future nine thousand years old.

I have to say that Yang Xin is cunning, as long as he comes back, his uncle will be in a much better mood, and more importantly, ......

"Those scholars won't make trouble anymore, will they?"

Apocalypse said.

"Don't be afraid!"

Jiuqiansui and Yang Xin said in unison.

"Long live the lord, the slave can guarantee that at least half of the scholars will cheer Your Majesty's Shengming, like Liaodong, Shaanxi and other local scholars, it is estimated that they will be grateful to Your Majesty, Liaodong may not have a Jinshi, this time there will be at least two or three in a subject, not only them, the entire Liaodong will cheer Your Majesty Shengming!"

Nine thousand years old said with a smile.

"Then let the cabinet draw up the decree, it just so happens that these scholars have almost arrived!"

Apocalypse said.

Nine thousand years old, his face immediately changed slightly.

Yang Xin gave him a look and signaled that he didn't have to worry about this problem, since this would be the case for nine thousand years old, he would no longer cause trouble to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, don't you still want to ask about Shoucheng smelting iron?"

Nine thousand years old quickly changed to the emperor's favorite topic.

"yes, I almost forgot!"

Apocalypse immediately perked up.

"Brother Shoucheng, a craftsman who smelted iron before proposed a method of making refined steel, and the steel smelted even surpassed the best sugang steel, and he said that the best ore could be used to smelt pig iron with charcoal first, and then wrought iron and repeatedly forged, and then cut into pieces and smelted, so that refined steel could be produced. However, there were a few troublesome things during the test, the wrought iron was melted into molten iron, and it was difficult to completely melt the wrought iron into molten iron even if coke was used, and there was also a certain degree of burning, the original copper melting tank could not stand it. ”

He said.

In fact, at this time, the little emperor almost didn't care about cultivating the Emperor's Pole Palace.

On the contrary, solving these technical problems has become his passion, to put it bluntly, he is not a keen on big projects, the construction of the Imperial Palace, for him, the greatest pleasure is to find a problem, and then solve this problem by himself.

It's like a bear child who dismantles a house.

"The first is the problem of air blasting, I talked about the composition of air before, oxygen is necessary for combustion, and the more oxygen is blown in, the more violent the combustion will be, and the corresponding temperature will rise higher."

Yang Xin said.

"I think so too, but I still can't use the water drain blast."

Apocalypse said.

"Then build a regenerator."

Yang Xin said.

"Regenerator?"

The little emperor was stunned.

"Heat the air blown in first, the air that we blow directly with the water drain is cold, the more you blow in, the more it will affect the temperature of the furnace, then heat the air first and then blow it in!"

Yang Xin said as he took a pen and paper to draw the principle of the regenerator.

Apocalypse immediately understood.

"As for the second one, the graphite crucible needs to be replaced, that is, graphite is added to the ordinary molten copper tank of calcite, and the iron is carburized before melting, and the crucible is closed during smelting, and after it is completely smelted into molten steel, the impurities floating on the surface are almost removed."

Yang Xin said.

Teach the little emperor how to make a graphite crucible, and let him play with the rest.

Success is crucible steel, if not successful should coax the emperor to be happy, anyway, the pillars of the emperor's pole hall used in the wrought iron bar has also been made, a river iron smelting workshop owner from Wuhu tied a few Suzhou steel craftsmen, and then used the iron ore transported from Wu'an, and finally smelted the strip steel comparable to Suzhou steel. Even more than Sugang, in fact, it is still wrought iron, but Wu'an's ore is low sulfur and low phosphorus, which is better than Daye ore used by Sugang, and then repeatedly forged and finally formed into a steel rod, and at the end of the forging smashing out of the thread, although there is still a gap with modern steel bars, but it fully meets the requirements of the column.

It's just that the cost is extremely high.

Because this is made of pillars, and the pillars of the Huangji Hall are more than ten meters high.

This thing must be as long as the height of the pillar plus the underground part, so the scrap rate is extremely high, a wrought iron bar like this costs three hundred taels, according to this price plus other steel bars and cement, and labor, seventy-two pillars of the Imperial Palace get 500,000.

Of course, this is the price of nine thousand years old there.

As for the quality, there is absolutely no problem, who dares to fake this kind of thing is the one of the nine clans.

However, because of the low output of these steel bars, it is still in the preparation of materials, and it is estimated that the construction will officially start next spring. The output of the cement factory built by 9,000 years old for Tianqi has increased steadily, and it has not been used to repair the Emperor's Palace, but it has been used by the Ministry of Industry to repair the Great Wall because of the substitution of glutinous rice juice.

Even the people have bought it.

This is an important takeaway.

Don't think that the glutinous rice juice of the bricks for repairing the city wall is inconspicuous, the ancient city wall of Xichang is repaired, and a section of the city wall of less than one kilometer is covered with bricks, and fifty tons of glutinous rice are used, and the current unit of 700 stones can be eaten by a hundred adult men for a year.

A section of less than a kilometer.

Glutinous rice like the capital with bricks and bricks alone has to consume tens of thousands of people's annual rations.

Now with cement, we can save this food.

More than 20,000 workers rely on the cement factory to eat, although they are not very full, but they have no food and clothing, and now they have a place to eat and do not need to rebel for their lives. In fact, the sweet potatoes produced by Yang Xin in Tianjin were all bought by his uncle for these workers to eat, of course, not directly boiled sweet potatoes, but made into sweet potato pancakes, this new food has attracted the attention of these victims.

There is also canned sea fish.

Sweet potato pancakes and spicy canned sea fish of inferior quality, the victims all said that it was good.

Because mining has also caused a bit of a storm......

Where is the nearest cement raw material in Beijing?

The ancestral tomb of the apocalypse!

Of course, the apocalypse doesn't care about this question!

Didn't he dig his ancestral grave directly, wasn't it just ten miles away, and he dug it when he needed to!

In short, the cement industry is driven by the Huangji Palace project, and has become a new development point of the Ming economy, that is, the lack of machinery, crushing and so on all use manpower, so the output increases slowly, and the packaging must also use wooden barrels, which also requires a lot of manpower. But it is precisely because of this that it has become an important means of solving the problem of disaster victims, even if women and children are employed, after all, the simple work of hitting clinker with a small hammer can be done by one person.

The use of stone grinding powder is even less worth mentioning for those women.

It is precisely because of this cement plant that the problem of the gathering of hungry people, which would have caused serious instability, has been solved almost silently.

How many are not afraid.

Now that I am 9,000 years old, I am afraid that there will not be enough people to work.

After all, the demand for cement is almost unlimited, and the repair of the Great Wall alone will allow this cement plant to be supplied until it is far away.

As for the cost......

How much that barrel of cement is not up to him.

Outside the door.

"How do you get the cabinet to make a decision? Elder Fang Ge didn't care about anything anymore, he just waited for the Long Live Lord to allow him to resign. ”

Nine thousand years old asked.

It was already dark at this time, and the apocalypse did not summon the tribute envoy today.

Originally, there was no one summoned on the same day, and it was not so simple for the emperor to summon this kind of tribute, the latter had to make some preparations, especially to perform the ceremony, in fact, there was no standard for the specific day to summon, but considering that these people still had to rush back before the winter, the apocalypse would be as soon as possible, and there would be no accident tomorrow.

However, it is not easy to pass the examination of the imperial examination and mounted archery in the cabinet.

The rest of the cabinet is all Southerners.

"First of all, it has to be proposed by the Emperor Yansheng."

Yang Xin said.

He will never forget the Holy Father!

"It's easy to say, I'll send him a letter in an urgent manner for five hundred miles, and he won't refuse."

Nine thousand years old said.

Yan Shenggong has already broken the jar and broken.

Kong Yinzhi completed the construction of the Yue Temple in Nanjing two months ago, and then left the city gloomily, it is said that when he left, he was warmly welcomed, and even was thrown filth, although he said in good conscience that he really did nothing, but after Yang Xin left, the Jiangnan gentry who had nowhere to vent their anger could only use him as a punching bag.

Someone else made up his pamphlets!

In short, he ended his trip to Nanjing in notoriety and returned to Qufu.

Then he closed the door and thanked the guests, ready to use time to heal the wounds of his soul, and then Yang Xin did not let him go.

And although this move will lead to the hatred of the southern scholars, he is already infamous in the south, so he can save a little reputation in the north, so he will definitely write this recital.

"That's fine."

Yang Xin said.

"As for the cabinet, we can invite them to visit the prison."

He then said with a wicked smile on his face.

"Visiting the Imperial Prison? Wouldn't it be more irritating to let them visit there? ”

Nine thousand years old said suspiciously.

"Yes, they will be provoked, but at the same time they will be afraid, and it will be like a bloody mouth that has been opened, ready to swallow more people at any time."

Yang Xin said.
