Jiangxia County Government is located in Suidu, it is here closer to the center of Jiangxia, and there is a natural river as a moat, there is no doubt that the focus of Jiangxia is now the old Suibei and the ancient Tang Dynasty, but there is no doubt that in the long run, the south of Suidu is the vast Yunmengze, although it is now ruled by the river with the Northern Wangjun, but who can say what will happen in the future.

After arranging the division of Jiangxia county and the appointment of officials, Lin Yuyan shifted his attention to the matter of the foundry, and I have to say that Lin Yuyan only took away the foundry from Shanglin Yuan, which shows the degree of attention paid to it.

The old Sui has been destroyed, and then using "Suidu" as a title is very inappropriate, so today's city gate plaque in Suidu has been replaced with "Suiyi".

After all, if Fin Tin continues to stay in Shanglin Yuan, according to the origin of the ministers of Shanglin Yuan, Fin Tin will have a great deal to do sooner or later, and it is very likely to replace his eldest brother to inherit his father's position as a doctor, but when he came to Jiangxia, Foil Tin obviously broke away from the identity of the minister of Shanglin Yuan and became an official who "fled".

Shi is a confidant who dies, if it weren't for Gongzi Yan who reused his Bole, Foil Tin would never give up this future like this.

But now after coming to Jiangxia County, Foil Tin also heard yesterday that Jiangxia County is implementing the system of Shanglin Yuan, and he was immediately overjoyed, after all, Shanglin Yuan only occupies the land of Sanyang in Nanyang County, but the potential of Jiangxia, Foil Xi It seems that it will not take a year for Jiangxia County to exceed the scale of Shanglin Yuan at most.

In the past two days, Ji Liang, the old doctor of the old Sui, sent out the local Xiangdao to guide himself and select the site of the foundry.

In the northeast of Suiyi, there was originally a bronze foundry of the Suihou Office, and if it was based on this, it would save a lot of effort to establish a new foundry.

However, when Gongziyan knew that this was a copper smelting foundry, he specially instructed Foil Tin to choose another location for the foundry, and Foil Tin naturally complied.

After three days, the foil tin finally found an excellent casting site on the west bank of Lishui.

Foil Xi immediately returned to Wancheng to report to Gongzi Yan, asking the army from Jiangxia to assist in the construction of the foundry, and as soon as he entered Suiyi, he heard that Gongzi Yan was in the mansion where Lu Feng, Ma Jun and Qi Sen and other foundry masters were located.

What is Your Highness doing there...... 〗

Foil Tin was puzzled, but immediately shook his head, this highness has always valued craftsmen, it is not surprising, Foil Tin figured it out and went straight to the destination.

Lu Feng, Ma Jun and Qi Sen and other foundry craftsmen were all arranged in the courtyard not too far from the palace where Lin Yuyan was staying.

"Your Highness." Lu Feng came to reply.

Lin Yuyan nodded, and asked someone to move a wooden barrel about the length of a calf over, faintly emitting a pungent smell.

The craftsmen of the foundry are also quite familiar with this thing, which is the black-brown liquid exuded by the tributaries of the secretion water in Zhongyang Mountain, and the foundry is called "black oil".

"Pour it in, and light the torch!" Lu Feng commanded.

The little officials around him did it according to Lu Feng's instructions, and after half a pillar of incense, a raging fire was quickly lit in the dirt pit in front of Lin Yuyan.

"All the masters try it......" Lin Yuyan stared at the leaping flames and said to the master beside him.

Hearing that His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan said this, the craftsmen around him all picked up the guys who put them in their hands, all of them were tongs and other objects, and clamped some things, such as copper and iron, and slowly put them into the fire pit.

Immediately, the craftsmen's eyes widened as they watched the changes in the copper and iron on the tongs, and after only a few breaths, they opened their eyes one by one, and looked at the copper on the tongs with an incredible look, slowly turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yes, it is slow, but it can reach a speed that is visible to the naked eye, and it is extremely fast for smelting copper and iron!

The first to react were the two brothers Qi Xian and Qi Sen, both of whom were copper smelting craftsmen, and realized that the tongs in their hands were already a little hot, only to realize how quickly the red copper was already burning!

But......

Qi Sen and Qi Xian also glanced at each other, and then smiled bitterly, with what the two of them had seen and heard, they naturally knew that the use of copper had reached the extreme, like the land of Wu Yue, the famous bronze sword in the Central Plains, was only equivalent to the level of thirty wrought iron, but the level of iron had not reached the peak for a long time.

Especially the seemingly inconspicuous fire pit in front of him, only an expert can know its value.

A casting furnace without a fire-gathering structure can smelt copper and iron at such a fast speed, so what if these fires are placed in an iron furnace with a fire-gathering structure?

As the master ironsmiths, Lu Feng and Ma Jun were already thickened in breath, and their eyes looked directly at the iron on the tongs, and the tongs in their hands were a little hot, but Lu Feng and Ma Jun didn't seem to notice it.

In their hearts, they already had a hunch that the fire that His Highness casually let people put was much higher than the most resistant fire coals in Daqin in the past.

What this means, goes without saying.

If this fire is placed in a cast iron furnace, it will definitely be able to break through Daqin's current twenty-forging and wrought iron technology, and even the top iron-smelting technology in the Central Plains is not an exaggeration!

Qi Sen looked at Lu Feng and Ma Jun, the two blacksmiths, and also reminded with a smile: "Lu Officer, Ma Official, this piece of iron is already cracked, and it can be quenched out of the oven......

Lu Feng and Ma Jun noticed that the iron had already burned past the fire, and hurriedly withdrew their hands and put the tongs aside.

"Craftsmen, how's it going?" Seeing that Lu Feng and Ma Jun withdrew the tongs, Lin Yuyan also asked.

Ma Jun looked impatient and asked Lin Yuyan: "Please also ask Your Highness to agree to build an iron furnace workshop as soon as possible, the villain wants to try to see if he can break through to the twenty forgings!" ”

Lu Feng is much more open-minded: "Your Highness, the villain's expectation is to reach the twenty-fifth forging and catch up with the leading forging iron technology in the Central Plains!" ”

"Your Highness."

It was at this time that Foil Tin rushed over, and looked at Lu Feng and Ma Jun talking about "twenty forgings" and "twenty-five forgings", a little surprised, but decided to ask about it at the right time, and said to Lin Yuyan for the time being.

Lin Yuyan turned around and found that it was foil tin, so he said: "The foil department is here, it seems that the location of the Jiangxia foundry must have been decided?" ”

"Exactly, it is already fixed on the west bank of Lishui, the time and place are very suitable, and I am recovering to His Highness." Foil Tin replied.

"Well," Lin Yuyan nodded, and said, "Since the address has been chosen, immediately notify Ji Liang and Du Hui to coordinate manpower to build a foundry as soon as possible!" ”

"Whoa!" Received the consent of His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan, and Foil Xi also responded with a smile.
