Chapter 64: Steelmaking
What does it feel like to have a rich and powerful father?
Shakers!
Li Tai finally felt what was called the wind and rain.
At the sound of an order, not only those craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry came, but even the Ministry of Works, Shilang and others also came.
Then, a group of craftsmen began to get busy.
Li Tai originally wanted to sneak away, but Li Shimin couldn't run away at all.
A secretary of the Ministry of Industry was wearing an official uniform, standing next to him and directing, looking at Li Tai from time to time, as if he was very curious about Li Tai.
However, it is not surprising that Li Tai has successfully lost weight now, and the whole person looks very different from a few months ago, so I don't see Li Tai often, and I really can't recognize it.
"This lord, dare to ask what to call it?" Li Tai walked over with a smile.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, I am the Ministry of Works, the scholar of the samurai, and the words are clear." The warrior said, very worried in his heart, this guy can't be the daughter of his own family, right?
Recently, there have been rumors in Chang'an City that Li Tainai, the king of Yue, is the most womanizer in the Tang Dynasty, and has robbed a lot of the children of the family into the house, so that many daughters of the family dare not go out, for fear that the king of Yue will be robbed back.
Samurai Tong?
Suddenly, Li Tai's eyes couldn't help but light up, this samurai Tong is very famous in history.
Because his daughter is Wu Meiniang, Wu Cao, Wu Zetian!
Wu Shi Tong, a native of Wenshui in Bingzhou, a founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, a senior official with outstanding political achievements, a scholar of the Ministry of Industry, and a prince of Yingguo.
It stands to reason that this guy should have been driven to Jingzhou as an official now, why is he still in Datang?
Could it be that the old man doesn't want this guy to leave?
Li Tai is still very concerned about the samurai Tong family, so when he knew that the old man in front of him who could be his grandfather was Samurai Tong, he couldn't help but think of some things about this old man.
Don't look at Wu Shi Tong as just a Ying Guogong, in fact, this old guy is Lao Li's henchman, when Lao Li was still a courtier of the old Yang family, he was ordered by Lao Yang to be the ambassador of the Bingzhou Assassin History and Hedong to comfort him, and let him be stationed in the land of Shoufen and Jin to suppress the rebels.
When Lao Li first came, he temporarily lived in Wu Shi Tong's house, so he shared the bed with Wu Shi Tong and bragged all night to enhance his relationship, so he joined the army as the marching division, which is simply a good friend of the Tang Dynasty.
Later, Lao Yang's family was in chaos, and it was also the warrior Tong who persuaded Lao Li to make trouble, don't hesitate anymore, and pretended to hear that there was a call in the air that 'Tang Gong is the Son of Heaven'. He also said that he once dreamed that Lao Li rode a horse to the sky, looked at the sun and the moon with his hands, and dedicated the military book he wrote to Lao Li to read, Lao Li was very happy, and felt that he was born to be the emperor.
Later, Lao Li died. When Samurai learned the news, he was very sad and "became ill." Li Er repeatedly sent famous doctors for diagnosis and treatment, but Wu Shitong still died due to ineffective medical treatment, at the age of 59.
What a good pair of friends.
It can be said that Pei Lin is a woman who has played with Yang Guang with Li Yuan, and the guy in front of him has carried a gun with Li Yuan.
However, according to the original history, he should have been driven to Jingzhou by Li Shimin to fight local tyrants, why did he appear here?
Being looked at like this by Li Tai, Wu Shi Tong also felt a little furious in his heart, and said that King Yue likes women, so he won't really take a fancy to his daughter, right?
"Your Highness, the eldest daughter of the old minister has already married, the second daughter is just ten years old, and the youngest daughter is only three years old. For the sake of the old minister's busy work as an official for many years, and there is no merit and hard work, please ask Your Highness to raise your noble hand and let the little girl go. Samurai said involuntarily.
"Second daughter? Could it be Wu Meiniang? Li Tai's brows furrowed slightly, if it was Wu Meiniang, what should she do?
Take her or kill her?
As a descendant, Li Tai knows that Wu Meiniang is a famous cheating queen in history, and he doesn't know how many green hats he has worn for Li Zhi's unlucky child and father, which can definitely turn the heads of the two into happy and happy green grasslands with gray wolves.
Why don't you find a time to kill her?
However, the old martial artist is indeed kind to the old Li family, and the two families also have some friendship, if he kills the second girl of Wu, wouldn't he have to make people poke their backbones and scold them for being ungrateful?
Difficult.
This is a difficult topic to choose.
"Your Highness, you can spare the minister, the minister only has those two daughters, both of whom are not old enough to leave the cabinet." The samurai were a little stunned, and when they saw that Li Tai didn't speak, they thought that Li Tai was interested in his daughter.
If it is another prince, it will be sent in, but this is the king of Yue, there are so many ministers who are married to him, and there are not a hundred but dozens of women in the palace, and sending his daughter into his mansion is not to let his daughter be widowed?
Samurai Tong is very unhappy.
Where is there a father who doesn't cherish his daughter? In history, the samurai Tong was still very good to his daughter, although the samurai Tong died later, and Wu Meiniang's family was driven out of the Yingguo Mansion, but that was after the samurai Tong died.
"Huh?" Li Shimin watched from the side, without wrinkling slightly, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of playfulness.
At this time, the blast furnace was finally ready, Li Shimin looked at the blast furnace like a small house, walked over and asked, "Does it really work?" ”
"Daddy, do you remove it, it works? It's just too effective, with my method, in less than three days, I will definitely be able to refine steel! "Li Tai is full of confidence.
At this time, even if you don't want to be full of confidence, you can't do it.
A group of craftsmen began to burn the fire, making the blast furnace harder, and the wind kept stirring inside, and it kept agitating.
The charcoal is decreasing.
How much charcoal does this cost?
"Dad, why don't you burn coal or honeycomb coal?" Li Tai asked puzzled.
"But?" Li Shimin's eyes showed a hint of doubt, and said, "That thing can be used to practice steel?" ”
"Yes, why not? Now that the temperature is rising, the charcoal burns faster, so it is better to use coal directly. Li Tai couldn't help but say.
"Hurry up and get some coal, burn it with coal!" Li Shimin said.
The craftsmen hurried to work.
In less than a while, Li Tai found a gap and ran away secretly.
It's hot here, so he won't be stupid to stay here, and as for whether or not he can make steel, I've already handed it over to you, and if you can't get it, that's your business.
Li Tai is very leisurely, but Li Shimin is not leisurely, if there is nothing to deal with, he will definitely watch the steel being made from the side, and he will definitely witness the formation of steel.
