After entering the iron-smelting workshop, Li Yuanjing instantly understood what the so-called ten times meant.

If they insist on thinking so, there seems to be nothing wrong with this conclusion, but there is quite a kind of letting ten scientists be ten bus drivers, and in the new position, they are not even as good as ten bus drivers.

Craftsmen rely on craftsmanship, and look at feelings.

Can it be more efficient to let craftsmen do the hard work?

When Li Yuanjing came, two mouths were bubbling out with fiery red molten iron, which was directly packed into a container, and then manually placed into smaller containers, making it a small iron ingot.

"Your Highness, this is to facilitate future refining, if the iron ingot is too large, it is not easy to process, although this method of iron-making is very simple and efficient, but there are also problems, these iron ingots can only be regarded as semi-finished products, or even semi-finished products are not as good, and then it still needs to be hammered by craftsmen, but the only thing that is omitted is the step of smelting ore into iron."

Craftsman Balabala explained, Li Yuanjingqiang held his breath, this thing didn't know how long it had been since he had taken a bath, standing next to him was a life-threatening sour smell, his hair was messy like weeds, and it was a little yellow.

However, Li Yuanjing never deliberately kept the distance between the two sides, but listened carefully.

"Have you adjusted the ratio of raw materials?" Li Yuanjing asked directly, and he didn't have to think much to know the reason.

Naturally, it is because the purity of the iron is not enough, that is, there are too many impurities, and there are many situations that can lead to this result.

"After the adjustment, in the past few months, we have been adjusting the proportion of raw materials and improving the blast furnace, this furnace is the best effect so far, and at present, there is not much room for change." Changsun Jun said directly, he was also involved in the whole thing, although the professional skills are not as good as those craftsmen, but in terms of iron smelting, a few months have also made Changsun Jun an expert-level existence.

After all, in Datang, it is difficult for these people who understand the technology of blast furnace iron smelting to become experts.

"If there is no problem with the ratio, the biggest possibility is the temperature!" Li Yuanjing looked carefully at the blast furnace in front of him.

There are all there to have, and several artificial fans are also installed at the bottom, and several coolies are constantly pushing it, so that the outside air can enter quickly.

How to improve the efficiency of artificial fans, or even direct oxygen injection, this Li Yuanjing did not consider for the time being, the hardware equipment is complete, even if the effect does not meet expectations, at most the speed of molten iron is slower, and it takes a while to separate impurities and directly affect the quality, then there is only one possibility!

Li Yuanjing's eyes kept wandering around the iron-smelting workshop, and he quickly determined the reason: "That's the black stone you use?" ”

"yes, straight from the cement workshop!" Eldest Sun Jun nodded.

"Go and inform Your Majesty, just say that this king has come up with an iron-smelting method that can improve the efficiency by dozens of times, if he has time, he can come and take a look!" Li Yuanjing turned his head to Liu Hu and ordered.

"Your Highness, dozens of times?" The eldest grandson was stunned, a little worried that a good man's credit would be blown by this false empty sentence?

"Of course, it's dozens of times, so many craftsmen here are doing work that ordinary people can do, and when you completely master this technology, this king estimates that one craftsman can be responsible for at least three or five furnaces at the same time, right?" Li Yuanjing smiled.

"It seems that this is the truth...... "Eldest Sun Jun nodded in hindsight, and found that these people seemed to be really overkill here.

"Your Highness, the little one will go back first!" Yang Li was a little depressed, so he chose to leave.

What else can you do if you don't quit? People have succeeded, they have really succeeded, but what about themselves? has been plagued by a problem for two months and has not been solved, and an old face is considered to be in vain.

"Don't be in a hurry, go out for a walk when you can't think of a way, maybe a casual little thing can give you inspiration!" Li Yuanjing nodded, but still encouraged.

If you bury your head, you can't build a car, and it is not a depravity to relax properly.

"The little one understands......"

Looking at Yang Li's lost back, Li Yuanjing was a little helpless, and he was also powerless, the only thing he could do was to expand the team as much as possible, so that more people with the same ambition and Taoism could solve a problem, but now Yang Li didn't even have a person to consult.

Molten iron, to be exact, is the iron trained in the blast furnace, and Li Yuanjing already knows the reason why the quality of the pig iron is not up to par, and he also knows how to solve it.

But now is not the time to solve the problem, and he still needs to continue to use this problem to stimulate Li Shimin, and use practical interests to force him to carry out reforms.

Again, the family is not terrible, the terrible thing is that the people above are messy, as long as the thinking is right, the direction is right, and they are willing to work hard, even if the family is a piece of titanium alloy steel, with this tooth, it will one day bite him to death.

"Your Highness, there is a person outside the village who claims to be a cloth merchant in Luozhou, asking to see you!"

"Take him to the south!" Li Yuanjing nodded, he didn't refuse, but he didn't let anyone bring it here, there were too many secrets.

Li Yuanjing also immediately set off to the south, which was the village of Huangzhuang before, and now a large number of people still live, and the weaving workshop is located in the south of the palace, about two kilometers away from the village, which is safe.

When passing by the weaving mill, Li Yuanjing remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something, and hurriedly asked people to go to the weaving workshop to say hello to the steward.

Priority is given to expanding the dormitory, otherwise, the three hundred palace maids will not be able to find a place to live.

As for these palace maids, of course, they are going to cheapen the bachelors in these two villages, look at it, this king not only solves the problem of your food, drink and housing, but also your wife solves it by the way, how great and selfless......

"Your Highness......"

When passing by the field, a small black thin man suddenly jumped up, showing a pair of big white teeth and grinning at Li Yuanjing.

This sudden scene not only shocked Li Yuanjing's frightened heart, but also scared the guards a lot, and he hurriedly pulled out the saber on his waist and aimed it at the little black thin man.

"Your Highness, I'm Du He......" Seeing that he hadn't seen each other for a few months, Li Yuanjing had forgotten about himself, and Du He instantly felt a little sad and lost.

"Of course this king knows that you are Du He, how is your research? Tell me about it! Li Yuanjing secretly concealed his embarrassment, revealing a jealous and enthusiastic attitude.

Hearing his research results, the loss in Du He's heart finally dissipated, and he waved the feces stuck to his hands without care, and said proudly: "I tested twenty acres of fields, using different formulas, and the old farmer said that the growth of these twenty acres this year is not bad, and the most one mu can increase the yield by about 30% according to this look." ”

Li Yuanjing looked at Du He silently, he didn't know how to explain to Du Ruhui, a good son was given to himself, and now he has become a little black and thin man, not to mention, he is completely addicted to playing with dung, this is special......

"If you keep a good record, it's best to record the whole process and the growth of each stage in detail, and then make a comparison when the harvest is in a few months, and the task is basically completed!"
