Chapter 52 Coal Stove

"Don't panic! What kind of body is frizzy and irritable, all these years of polishing have been practiced in vain, and the speed is not reached. Li Yan's heart was also shaken, he didn't want the young man who spoke just now to be His Majesty, His Majesty personally asked him to build that thing, it seems that this thing is really not simple.

Since he is the Son of Heaven and has a profound royal heritage, maybe there is some great forging method, but that Mo Dao! Bailian Dao has never heard of it, and he really has a little bit of expectation, thinking about this, Li Yan is also a little impatient, and his mind doesn't care about any deposit or anything like that.

At that moment, he hurriedly instructed the apprentices: "Take out all the iron, stone and coal in the backyard room, and I will wipe it first......

A few days later, a Pei family member ran from Wenxi to Anyi to find Pei Qian and complained in a hurry.

"Childe is not good! Our Pei family's coal mine was seized. ”

"What? The coal mine was seized, who did it, the Baibo bandits? Didn't I write to ask you to have more people? Do you want to watch out for them? ”

"Yes, Gongzi, it is the Baibo bandits, the leader is Li Lenas, we have recruited more people, always on guard, there is nothing unusual when they go north, who knows that when they take the people south, they suddenly make trouble, rush into our major mines and start beating and robbing, we are those people who guard the courtyard and guard the city, and they are fighting with real knives and guns outside, they are not opponents at all."

His family knows the situation of his family best, and Pei Qian is not good at saying anything, after all, the family soldiers and these bandits are not of the same magnitude, especially in the wild, fortunately, Li Le did not enter Wenxi County, and the county town still has the Pei family and the major families, if these scourges enter the city, it will be troublesome.

"Forget it, if the coal mine is gone, it will be gone, the Son of Heaven has issued an edict, Li Le has taken advantage of it, and it is impossible to snatch it back." The name is not right, and he encounters the rogue bandit-born Bai Bo Army, Pei Qian can only temporarily stop fighting.

Li Le took the first batch of people to Anyi, accompanied by all the coal mines looted from the Pei family, and the coal mines were carried by the migrated people, and Li Le would save trouble.

"Your Majesty! I've got coal, and I'm going to make money next. As soon as Li Le returned to Anyi, he rubbed his hands and went straight to the palace to find Liu Xie.

"No hurry, no hurry! It didn't take long to do. "The stove is not ready, and Liu Xie doesn't know if it's suitable if he wants to get briquettes.

Just as the two were talking, Hong Nan came in and reported: "Your Majesty! Blacksmith Li from the north of the city came over, still carrying something strange. ”

Liu Xie hurriedly said: "As I was talking, I didn't expect the blacksmith to be very fast, so let him in quickly." ”

"Yes!"

Soon the sword king Li Yan was brought in, along with the iron stove that Liu Xie said.

It's almost the same from the outside, but it's a little ugly, and the joints are a little uneven, so I think it's not polished enough.

However, there was not much gap between it and what he thought, Liu Xie nodded and said, "It's okay!" You go back and continue to build two, not more, first familiarize yourself with the process, I want to use two days to see the effect, to see if there is anything that needs to be improved and adjusted, in the notice. If possible, I'll give you two books on blacksmithing. ”

"Your Majesty!" Li Yan was taken down, and he was still very relieved to get Liu Xie's initial affirmation, especially when he got Liu Xie's promise, he was very itchy, and he was excited about the forging method and the name of the sword.

Li Lehu asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty! This is the thing that can make the coal mine endless, warm and roast the fire. ”

"Of course! But we're going to make some briquettes first, and you have people pull coals into my palace and choose some yellow mud. Liu Xie sent Li Le and the others, and then ordered the guards to cut down some tree branches and broken wooden boards, and then ignited them and threw them into the furnace, and soon the fire in the furnace became more and more prosperous.

"See, even if there is no coal, this thing can be used to make fire indoors, and wood can be used to boil water for cooking, and it is fast and consumes little."

Everyone didn't expect this little thing to have such a wonderful use, and they worshiped the Son of Heaven more and more, how did the Son of Heaven's head grow, and they knew so much.

Soon the coal and loess were put into the palace, found a flat land, Liu Xie wiped and added water to mix the coal and loess together in a certain proportion, and then stuffed the mixture into a wooden round bowl, the round bowl was filled with thick filling, and more than a dozen macaroni holes were poked on the inside evenly, and finally put it on the sunny ground and turned it over to untie the wooden round bowl, and the briquettes were ready, just waiting to dry in the sun for a few days before they could be used.

"This is what Your Majesty said about briquettes, so strange, the middle is full of holes, I don't know what the purpose is."

"That's it! Don't guess, when it dries, you will know what it is used for, and now you will follow me to make briquettes. Liu Xie said angrily, a briquette, and made a fuss.

After a few days, the briquettes are dried, and then put in the furnace to slowly ignite, control the air inlet, it is really very easy to use, you can keep the fire in the furnace all the time, you can take it when you want to use it, and it is very conducive to baking and heating around.

Liu Xie, the son of heaven, personally wiped it, and sent one to Yang Cheng, Han Xian, Li Le, Wang Yi, Wei Jin, Pei Qian and others to use, and the word of mouth and popular trend suddenly pulled up, and the noble and powerful landlords in the city also followed suit.

Then the wealthy landlords of other cities followed suit and used this convenience, so that coal became out of stock and became a weapon of wealth, not just an auxiliary to iron and steelmaking, but a necessity of life.

Therefore, Li Le was the happiest, vigorously developed coal mines, and vowed to make the coal mining industry bigger and stronger.

And Li Yan was also called to the palace by Liu Xie, and he did not break his promise, and was ready to explain the method of filling steel and the method of 100 steelmaking.

"Your Majesty, this method of filling steel and refining steel can really increase the amount of steel and forge a treasure knife that sharpens iron like clay." For a knife maker, there is nothing more attractive than getting a treasure knife and carrying forward the knife culture.

Looking at Li Yan's expression, Liu Xie nodded and said, "Of course!" These are small problems, and the method of filling steel can reduce the loss and time, and refine batches of steel to make steel knives.

And this hundred steel-making method can be refined into a hundred refinements, which is used to make the rare fine blade in the world, and the treasure knife made of hundreds of refined steel, it is natural to sharpen iron like mud. ”

Li Yan was overjoyed and wanted to go back to the test, but Liu Xie stopped: "Don't worry, don't you want to know how this cold forging is operated and what is going on?" This cold forging can strengthen the blade by a notch, making it stronger, tougher and more resistant. ”

Yeah! There is also this cold forging, I have to hold it myself, Li Yan looked at Liu Xie expectantly, but Liu Xie smiled: "This is not in a hurry, you want to know this, first agree to my conditions, whether it is cold forging or steel filling method, it cannot be passed on, and must be strictly controlled by the palace smelting superintendent, so I want you and your iron shop to be included in the Shaofu smelting superintendent, and your iron shop can only build a blade for me from now on." ”
