After getting the edict from Gao Ming, Wang Ze took the briquette stove given to him by Gao Ming, rushed to the Ministry of Military Industry non-stop, and saw Liu Tao again. （）

Wang Ze's arrival again did not surprise Liu Tao, especially after seeing that he brought a clever edict, Liu Tao couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, in fact, since the first time I saw the virtuous brother, I knew that the virtuous brother must be extraordinary, and now I see that this is the case, the foolish brother congratulates the virtuous brother at this time!"

Seeing Liu Tao suddenly call himself a brother and brother so cordially, the corners of Wang Ze's mouth suddenly tugged.

What a fake!

However, as an "old fritter" in officialdom, he has long been accustomed to this kind of scene, so he also squeezed out a smiling face and arched his hand towards Liu Tao.

"Lord Liu has won the award, and the lower officials will need to rely on Lord Liu a lot in the future!"

"Hahahaha!" Hearing Wang Ze's praise, Liu Tao couldn't help laughing, and waved his hand at Wang Ze while laughing.

"Brother Xian has won the award, I am lucky to be valued by His Royal Highness the Prince, and I should do my best to repay His Highness's kindness, okay, don't talk much, you wait for me here for a while, I'll go and bring you the drawings!"

"There's Lord Lao Liu!"

Hearing Wang Ze's words, Liu Tao smiled again and waved his hand at him, and then walked quickly into the inner courtyard to get the drawings for Wang Ze.

About a cup of tea later, Liu Tao came out, and at the same time he was followed by two craftsmen carrying wooden boxes.

After coming to Wang Ze, Liu Tao asked the two craftsmen to put down the wooden box, and then smiled at Wang Ze.

"Brother Xian, the construction drawings and iron-smelting process of the blast furnace, the coke production method, and the blower production method of the steam engine modification are all here, you can take them directly!"

"This ......" Hearing Liu Tao's words, Wang Ze's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the wooden box in front of him in a daze, "This box is full of drawings?" ”

Looking at Wang Ze's shocked look, Liu Tao smiled again and nodded.

"Yes, all of them are drawings, you don't have to worry about not being able to read it, this time in addition to this box of drawings, there are five hundred craftsmen who will go back to Taiyuan with you, and there will be an elite escort of cavalry guards on the road, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has prepared everything, you can rest assured!"

Hearing Liu Tao's words, Wang Ze was shocked, but also couldn't help but sigh a little.

"I didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to prepare everything, it seems that I was overly worried!"

Speaking of this, Wang Ze suddenly arched his hand towards Liu Tao.

"The lower official still needs to go back and prepare, so I will leave first, and visit Lord Liu again another day!"

Obviously, what Wang Ze said was polite, which Liu Tao also understood, but he didn't show any care, and arched his hand towards Wang Ze with a smile on his face.

"That foolish brother is waiting for the arrival of the virtuous brother, the virtuous brother will take care all the way, there will be a period later!"

"There will be a date later!"

After speaking, Wang Ze left the Ministry of Military Industry with a wooden box full of drawings and returned to the mansion to pack his things.

In the afternoon, Wang Ze left Chang'an with 500 craftsmen from the Ministry of Military Industry, escorted by 3,000 cavalry guards, and headed for Taiyuan.

In order to return to Taiyuan as soon as possible, Wang Ze preferred to endure the bumps along the way, and also asked to speed up the convoy, and finally returned to Taiyuan Mansion within ten days.

After returning to Taiyuan Mansion, Wang Ze first arranged for the 500 craftsmen brought from Chang'an to rest, but he did not rest himself, but took the Wang family's people out to choose the address to build the blast furnace.

Wang Ze's efficiency was very high, and on the third day of his return to Taiyuan Mansion, he had already selected the address, found the people, and then began to build the first blast furnace in Taiyuan under the guidance of the craftsmen.

When building the blast furnace, Wang Ze also asked people to build several kilns for soil coking, intending to make a batch of coke during the construction of the blast furnace.

Blast furnace ironmaking must use coke, because coke can not only provide stable and lasting heat for the blast furnace, but also play the role of a skeleton, which coal cannot do.

This knowledge is unheard of by Wang Ze, so now when he understands this, he has more respect for Gao Ming in his heart.

A month later, the first blast furnaces built in Taiyuan were officially put into use.

When the crimson iron slurry flowed out of the tap hole of the blast furnace, Wang Ze's excited eyes were moist, and his mouth was even more muttering.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...... His Royal Highness the Prince, Weichen didn't disappoint you! ”

Since coming out of the East Palace more than a month ago, Wang Ze's heartstrings have been tense, for fear that he will accidentally become Gao Mingyan's "unstable factor", but now that he is good, with the completion of the first batch of blast furnaces, he can be regarded as having an explanation for Gao Ming.

After the tense nerves relaxed, another question appeared in Wang Ze's heart.

"Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ask me to cast all the iron into iron bars six zhang long and one inch wide? And the cross-section of this iron bar is also very strange, like a short and long 'work' word, what is such an iron bar used for? ”

Wang Ze couldn't figure out the purpose of this iron bar after thinking about it for a long time, so he thought of Gao Minglai again.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's actions are really unfathomable, people really can't guess, I don't know what he is doing now, he should be dealing with state affairs at this time, right? Your Majesty is not here, Your Highness, he is really hard! ”

In fact, Wang Ze's guess was wrong, Gao Ming was not dealing with state affairs at this time, but pacing back and forth outside Su Wan'er's wing, his face full of eagerness.

"Did you give birth to it? Oops, what a rush! ”

At this time, Su Wan'er's scream of "ah" came from the side room again, hearing this cry, Gao Ming suddenly jumped with a brisk step, stretched out his hand and was about to push the door, but he was dragged by the quick-eyed sword.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess is giving birth to a child, you can't go in, it's unlucky!"

"Bad luck!" As soon as Shi Jian's words fell, Gao Ming suddenly glared at him, his face full of anger, "What's unlucky about my daughter-in-law giving birth to a child, she is fighting now!" I'm going to go in and cheer her up, you let me go! ”

"No!" The squire didn't listen to Gao Ming's words, he still hugged his waist tightly from behind, and persuaded: "Concubine Yang Niangniang is already inside, Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, besides, it's useless for you to go in!" ”

"Who said it was useless? I can cheer her on! Gao Ming has a lot of words.

"Uh......" Seeing Gao Ming's natural look, Shi Jian suddenly didn't know what to say, so she simply turned her head, "No, if you can't enter, you can't enter, even if you are His Royal Highness the Prince, you can't enter!" ”

"You let go of me!"

"Don't let it go!"

Facing the stubborn sword, Gao Ming struggled a few times, but still didn't break free of her hand, and in desperation, he could only stand at the door and shout inside.

"Wan'er, you're working hard! Come on! You're not fighting alone, you're not alone! ”
