Chapter 105: A Thousand Plows Cast in the Day

Li Chengqian began preparations last night to greet Li Shimin and the hundred officials, and as soon as he arrived at the iron-making workshop today to greet Li Shimin, he began to check whether all aspects were properly prepared.

He walked all the way from the iron-making blast furnace here, past the steel-making open-hearth, and then to the hydro-ironing platform.

These iron-making furnaces, steel-making furnaces, and water-powered iron-striking platforms were all driven by hydraulic blows or hydraulic power, and they were repaired along the riverbank all the way to 300 zhang away.

Finally, he walked to the side of the big grinding wheel that rotated endlessly with the help of hydraulic power, and he was relieved to see that everything was normal, and wherever Li Shimin went in the Tang Dynasty, both the master and the subordinates attached great importance to it.

Although these craftsmen don't know how much Li Chengqian attaches importance to Li Shimin's visit this time, they also really attach importance to this matter, so they have been in a state of excitement since Hao Chujun's visit yesterday.

Needless to say, Li Chengqian also vowed to show the best side, Li Chengqian saw that everything was normal, and just about to go back, he saw Li Sufei, the king of Shu, running over.

Seeing Li Chengqian looking at him, he said loudly while running: "Big brother, big brother, the old man Linghu is impeaching you to his father!" ”

Li Chengqian didn't care when he heard this: "Let him be impeached if he is impeached, anyway, the notes of his impeachment have been sent to the East Palace." ”

Li Su ran to Li Chengqian's side and panted and said, "But depending on my father's intention, I want to stop here first and let the people go to plow the fields." ”

When Li Chengqian heard that Li Shimin's heart was moved, he was also a little anxious, after all, Li Shimin's edict was not easy for him to change.

Li Chengqian had no choice but to step up and rush back, hoping that it would be too late to stop Li Shimin's will.

Li Chengqian is no longer in a worrying situation when he first crossed over to the Tang Dynasty, and he is barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, so he can act regardless of it. Now that Li Shimin is focusing on cultivating him, he also has to pay attention not to easily lose Li Shimin's favor.

When Li Chengqian walked all over the body and walked to Li Shimin's periphery, he heard Hou Junji speak, so he put his mind at ease, and happened to hear the steel-making furnace saying that this furnace was coming out, and if you wanted to ask Your Majesty to watch, he turned around and went to the steel-making side to see.

Deliberately let Li Su speak loudly to attract the attention of the other side.

When Li Shimin, Hou Junji, Li Daozong, Li Daliang, Xi Junmai and others rushed over, they happened to see the craftsman pouring out molten steel.

"Cheng Qian, hurry up and let them forge a sword for me!" Li Shimin was afraid that the molten steel would be robbed.

"Yes, cast a few more for His Royal Highness the Prince!"

……

……

The civil officials in the back were also very excited, and the appearance of divine weapons in the martial Tang Dynasty was enough to make people crazy.

Li Chengqian watched the craftsman pour the molten steel into the prepared plowshare sand mold one by one, and then turned around and saluted Li Shimin: "Father, these are the ones who cast plowshares and hoes, and when the sons and daughters have cast enough 10,000 plowshares here, let them make a furnace of good steel and cast a seven-star sword inlaid with gold and jade for the father." ”

"Cheng Qian, you don't want to cast a plowshare now." Li Shimin said, pointing to the craftsmen and people who were busy, and continued: "I want to let them go back to spring ploughing, and let them all cast plowshares here, and no one will plough the plows after casting them, and they will not be able to harvest grain in autumn." ”

Li Chengqian watched as the craftsmen poured all the molten steel from this furnace into dozens of sand molds, and were cleaning the open hearth furnace to prepare for the next furnace of molten steel.

didn't care at all that Li Shimin was teaching him the experience of governing the country, Li Shimin saw that Li Chengqian didn't speak, so he continued: "I have already made an order, you can refine two furnaces of molten steel and release them, and then cast a few swords for me, don't want any gold and jade, as long as it is good steel." ”

When Li Chengqian heard this, he had to turn his head to look at Li Shimin, and said angrily: "Father, the son can cast 10,000 plowshares here as long as he casts it for another ten days." With these tens of thousands of people, the nearly one million acres of wasteland in front of them can be reclaimed into fertile land. ”

"What? You can make a thousand plowshares a day?" Li Shimin's voice suddenly raised, with a surprised expression, and he didn't care about Li Chengqian's tone at all.

All the officials standing behind Li Shimin were also alarmed, and some of them turned to study the craftsmen and the blast furnace hearth when they heard that a thousand plowshares could be made in a day......

Some people just looked stunned when they heard this, and their faces showed disdain, and Ling Hu Dedi was one of them.

"yes!" Li Chengqian's answer was very crisp, and his voice was full of absolute confidence.

"You can't be a cheater! Tell me how to cast?" Li Shimin has slowly recovered from the surprise just now, and has begun to use his experience to consider the feasibility of Li Chengqian's remarks.

"As for how to cast, Father, you can see if you look down." Li Chengqian sold a pass.

Li Shimin smiled when he heard this, and sure enough, he continued to watch them make molten steel.

"How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince bully the king in person?" A yin and yang strange voice sounded from behind, Li Chengqian turned his head and saw that it was Linghu Dedi, Li Chengqian looked at him contemptuously and ignored him.

However, Ling Hu Dedi thought that he had told the secret in Li Chengqian's heart, so he continued: "The minister has never seen anyone who can cast a thousand plowshares in a day, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be worthy of the virtue that the prince should have if he lies so much?"

This is to be shameless, Li Chengqian turned his head when he heard this, and looked at Linghu Dedi solemnly and said, "If the lonely king is not worthy, are you worthy?"

"I-" Ling Hu Dedi was almost choked to death, but when he saw Li Chengqian speaking like this, he felt even more unconvinced, so he stiffened his neck and said: "The minister is naturally not worthy of the prince's virtue, but His Royal Highness the prince has no crosshairs in his actions and words, and it is already clear that he is not worthy of the prince's virtue." ”

Li Chengqian smiled coldly when he heard this: "The lonely king is not worthy of the virtue of the prince, who do you say?"

Linghu Dedi was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Li Shimin staring at him with murderous eyes, Linghu Dedi was shocked and realized that he had committed a big taboo. The person who said before that Li Chengqian was not worthy of the position of prince either died, or waited for Li Chengqian to be released in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Thinking of this, Ling Hu Dedi hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty just wants His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be able to behave upright, and match the position with virtue, and has no other meaning, please Your Majesty Mingjian." ”

"Hmph" Li Shimin snorted coldly and turned his head to ignore him, Li Shimin has now experienced Li Tai's rebellion, and he really doesn't want to lose his other sons because of the position of the crown prince.

Li Chengqian didn't look back and looked at Linghu Dedi coldly, and said for a long time: "Linghu Dedi, since you dare to openly slander the Lone King, then it will be proved later that the Lone King can cast a thousand plowshares a day here, and you will apologize for your guilt!" ”

Linghu Dedi's face finally changed, he just couldn't get used to Li Chengqian, if there was really no conspiracy, would it be because of this to kill him?

Li Shimin didn't say anything, and none of the officials dared to intercede with Linghu Dedi, and the hundred officials present quieted down suddenly.

When the atmosphere of the scene was very depressing, the molten steel in the sand mold had cooled into a steel plate, and a craftsman opened the sand mold and clamped out the steel plate that was still at high temperature with pliers, and put it on the first hydraulic iron platform.

There is a large stone hanging above the platform, and there is a protrusion on the bottom of the stone, which has been polished into a prismatic shape by craftsmen, and the protrusion is facing the steel plate on the platform.

When the craftsman pulled out a piece of wood underneath, he heard the sound of "zaza", and the large stone hanging on the iron platform fell sharply from above, and there was a loud "bang", and the protruding part of the stone hit the steel plate.

Another craftsman hurriedly dragged the wooden seat behind him back, so that the gear on the wooden seat was facing a rotating gear, and the two gears sounded a "zaza" sound, and the boulder that had just been smashed was slowly hoisted up again.

The crowd looked at the steel plate below and saw that it was already the shape of a ploughshare, and a craftsman in the back used pliers to pinch away the crude ploughshare and began to trim it with a sledgehammer on another iron-striking platform.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the ploughshare goes to the final grinding wheel to prepare the blade, and after quenching, it can be loaded into the plough.

And the people in front of them began to deal with other steel plates, so that everyone was responsible for the same speed, which increased several times at once.

Li Shimin and Wen Wubai were dumbfounded, but they were also convinced that Li Chengqian could cast a thousand plows here every day.
