Du He smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can be transferred to the people who will be the prisoners, they are mainly used for weapons, so there is iron for us to use agricultural tools, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince attaches importance to the reclamation here and cannot use it to affect the military!" ”

Du He is telling the truth, in ancient China, the salt and iron franchise, the first supply was the military.

Moreover, the productivity of Zhenguan was very poor, and there was not much iron to be found for a while, and the iron had to rely on the blacksmith, and the hundred workers in Chang'an City belonged to the craftsman supervisor, the Shaofu supervisor and the ordnance supervisor, and these places all had their own functions, even if Li Chengqian was given face, how many people could be divided, and how many people could these people work here for a few days?

Li Chengqian didn't know what Du He was thinking?

Walking a few steps to the river with a cane, I found that this section of the stream here happened to be a narrow place, and the water was turbulent, so it was just right to set up a hydraulic workshop.

Although Li Chengqian was not a high-achieving student in engineering in his previous life, he still understood the general mechanics, and as for iron control, it was even simpler, anyway, he didn't want to refine a hundred refined steel now, but just wanted to make some plowshares, according to the soil blast furnace he saw in the countryside in his previous life.

Li Chengqian is a man who does what he says, holding this section of the river and saying: "Immediately build a shed for me along the riverside, put stones on the embankment, start doing it now, and build all the sheds tomorrow morning." ”

Du He and Zhao Jie glanced at each other and didn't know what Li Chengqian was going to do, so they stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is getting dark this day, what are you doing with such a long shed?"

"Build a shed today, and tomorrow I'll find someone to set up an iron-smelting furnace underneath." Li Chengqian said and turned back to Pei Xingjian and asked, "Didn't you find iron ore in the mountains a year ago?"

Pei Xingjian hurriedly replied: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, it's just that the iron ore we carried out was sold to the Shaofu Supervisor's Palm Metallurgical Office." ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he turned his head to Du He and said, "Tomorrow I will arrange someone to carry some iron ore again, and there is also coal, isn't this what was burned outside the city before?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince, we want to reclaim the farmland, what kind of iron are you smelting now, even if you can smelt iron, you can't beat the plowshare." Zhao Jie couldn't help but say.

Li Chengqian calmed down when he heard this, his gaze swept over their faces, and he said solemnly: "This matter is up to the Lone King, you just do it, and tell everyone that sharpening knives is not wrong to chop firewood, and iron refining is not wrong to plough the fields." ”

As soon as Du He and Zhao Jie saw that Li Cheng became serious, they also called themselves the lonely king, and they didn't dare to raise any more objections, so they hurriedly arranged for someone to move the freshly cut firewood and grass to the river to build a shed.

Li Chengqian saw that they started to work and got into the car and went back to the East Palace, he still had a lot to do.

The first thing is to improve the hydraulic bellows, these days Li Chengqian also read some ancient books of the Tang Dynasty, knowing that the Tang people now use fewer hydraulic bellows, and this kind of bellows blows from time to time, so he wants to change the above bellows to a modern common fan blade type blower under the condition that the underwater part remains unchanged.

In fact, it was made into a fan type, and it kept turning for him to blow the air inside.

Then he had to draw a drawing of the blast furnace, and he had seen the earthen blast furnace of the village iron smelting plant before the reform and opening up, which was not difficult.

It is also necessary to design a set of hydraulic iron-striking devices, which are relatively simple for Li Chengqian, that is, a matter of a few gears for water discharge.

Li Chengqian finished drawing all the drawings that night, and the next day he began to find craftsmen to be supervisors, superintendents of the Shaofu Prefecture, and superintendent of ordnance to transfer craftsmen.

In the next few days, Li Chengqian handled government affairs in the Chongjiao Hall every morning, and went out of the palace in the afternoon to watch them build an iron-making workshop, a blast furnace, an open hearth, and a water-powered iron-making platform.

In the afternoon, thanks to the tireless efforts of a large number of craftsmen, Li Chengqian's 20 hydraulic iron-making platforms, 10 iron-making blast furnaces, and two steel-making open-hearth furnaces were finally built.

The day before, all kinds of coke, limestone, waste steel, and so on needed for ironmaking were also prepared according to Li Chengqian's requirements.

Li Chengqian looked at these and thought in his heart, it's been almost two months since the crossing, we also ordered the science and technology tree today, and when we refine the refined steel, we should be worthy of those predecessors who have crossed over!

Li Chengqian returned to the East Palace, saw that there was nothing to be approved in the Chongjiao Palace, and was about to send someone to find the six-room case in charge of the Pingzhang Courtyard, and asked them to go to the iron-making workshop tomorrow to see the first furnace of steel.

But seeing that the eldest grandson Wuji was led by a small chamberlain and slowly walked into the Chongjiao Palace, he couldn't help but wonder why he came?

"Old minister, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" The eldest grandson Wuji saluted Li Chengqian with a calm face.

Li Chengqian got up and said with a smile: "Uncle is exempt from the courtesy." ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji sat down, he asked, "Uncle is not recuperating in the mansion, why did he come to see King Gu again?"

The eldest grandson Wuji didn't seem to be able to understand the meaning of his words, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has repeatedly ordered the old minister to come to the East Palace to manage affairs, but the old minister has not come because he thought that he should give His Royal Highness the Crown Prince more opportunities to practice."

But today, the prince of the country is the priest of the wine and the Hu Deqi is on the impeachment of His Royal Highness the Prince: Blindly creating clever things regardless of the season, causing mistime, please restrain His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to study in the East Palace. ”

Li Chengqian sneered when he heard this: "This makes Hu Dedi a mistake to pick the lonely king when he is full, everything the lonely king does is a major event that benefits the country and the people, how can a stupid villain understand?"

The eldest grandson Wuji was unmoved when he heard this, but said with interest: "Oh, so it makes Hu Dedi slander His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Li Chengqian said angrily when he heard this: "Of course, my uncle, as the crown prince, should be impeached in a letter to impeach him for malicious intentions and slander the crown prince of the dynasty, and his crime should be punished." ”

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji smiled faintly and said: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is extremely true, but although the old minister has been added as a minister of the East Palace, because he has been recuperating at home, he does not know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done, how can he dare to impeach the minister easily?"

Li Chengqian smiled lightly when he heard this: "Then my uncle will go with King Gu tomorrow to see the iron-making workshop built by King Gu to see if what King Gu has done is something that benefits the country and the people." Then the uncle decided whether to impeach those who were chasing the wind. ”

Hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji seemed to be interested and said, "Oh! If this is the case, the minister should see how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's construction of an iron-making workshop is different from other places?

Since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is doing things that benefit the country and the people, why don't you give an order and let all the officials of Chang'an go to see it tomorrow?"

Li Chengqian couldn't guess the mind of the eldest grandson Wuji, and asked rhetorically: "If King Gu ordered all the officials of Chang'an to go to see iron smelting tomorrow, then who will handle the government?"

The eldest grandson Wuji said step by step: "I only go for half a day without hindrance, so that not only can I wash away the untruths they put on His Royal Highness the Prince, but also show His Royal Highness the Prince's ability." ”

But Li Chengqian became more and more suspicious when he heard it, and said with a straight face: "Uncle's words are not right, the name of the Lone King to prepare the East Palace for virtue has been praised from the world, why use a refining workshop to show the ability of the Lone King?" Speaking of this, he thought about it and said: "But since my uncle said so, then I can ask my uncle to draw up an order on behalf of King Gu, and I will also ask my father to go out of the palace to relax." ”

"Obey the order!"

The eldest grandson Wuji sneered in his heart, just when you went to smelt iron, what else did you say to benefit the country and the people, even if you can smelt iron, can you still make iron tools immediately?

When the time comes, he will be impeached by hundreds of officials and delay the agricultural time.
