The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

"The villain's name is Liu ...... Liu...... Belonging to Min, his wife's family is firing...... The craftsmen of the kiln have a lot of help in their spare time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

There are sketches of adults, and villains only need to burn out the container according to the drawing, which should not be difficult to think. ”

Liu Zuomin didn't expect that Qin Du would ask him for his cheap name, and when he was in a mood, he couldn't help but bump and bump into each other, which was not very good.

Qin Haoming nodded and smiled, it seems that the mold has already been used at this time. Think about it, too, how to make a cannon without molds?

"Very well, then you will be responsible for this matter, pay attention to confidentiality, how long will it take? Is there a blast furnace in the workshop? ”

"Hui Yu, if you have it, you can do it in two or three days."

Liu Zhimin bowed and replied.

"Let's go, let's see."

Qin Haoming was overjoyed and hurriedly asked them to lead the way.

Under the leadership of Liu Zhimin, after walking into the stuffy iron-striking area in the workshop, Qin Haoming pointed to a blacksmith who was constantly hammering a piece of red iron and asked:

"Wang Jiangtou, over and over again, the iron is burned red, then beaten, and finally cooled, the purpose of which is to make the iron harder, which is a phrase we often hear about refining into steel......"

Wang replied: "Yes, my lord, through continuous hammering, the freshly baked pig iron will become harder, and finally reach the level of steel required to make the barrel......

As a special soldier in later generations, Qin Haoming is very aware of a series of chemical changes that occur when pig iron becomes steel in the process of refining into steel......

In general, it is a very simple chemical change: a large amount of carbon mixed in pig iron is chemically reacted with oxygen in the air through heating and continuous hammering to produce carbon dioxide gas, reducing the carbon content in pig iron and reaching the standard of steel.

Since it was to make a chemical reaction between the carbon in pig iron and the oxygen in the air, Qin Haoming immediately came up with the word "copying steel" in high school chemistry class.

At a closer look, Qin Haoming found that Daming's iron-making technology was very mature, and he was only one foot away from realizing modern iron-making methods.

As long as a few problems are solved, one is that the furnace temperature is low during ironmaking, so the efficiency is poor.

On the other hand, due to the use of charcoal, the temperature of the charcoal cannot realize blast furnace ironmaking.

Then there is the problem of air supply, due to the weak air supply capacity, resulting in insufficient combustion, which affects the quality of iron.

On the spot, Qin Haoming ordered people to build a preheating furnace to heat the air, and then build a small blast furnace with reference to the style of local steelmaking in later generations.

The blast furnace is hoisted with a pulley to fill the hopper, and the fuel is also changed from charcoal to coke.

The problem of blowing air is used as a blower in the workshop, and a few iron components can be added slightly to ensure the airtightness.

Qin Du's orders, naturally no one dared to slack off.

Wang vigorously mobilized all the blacksmiths and apprentices of the entire military bureau, and began to build iron-making furnaces, steel furnaces, blast bellows, and refractory materials according to his requirements......

A waning moon hangs high, and the night in Gyeonggi is a little gloomy.

In the Maoqin Hall of the Qianqing Palace, in the middle of the night, Chongzhen still reviewed the folds.

Originally, he didn't have to be so tired, and the folds were usually drafted by the cabinet, and he only needed to decide whether it was okay or not, and he didn't need to approve it in person.

It's just that the recent events are a little special, they didn't pass through the cabinet, they were all uploaded in the form of secret music, which were his two most trusted ministers, Qin Haoming and Yang Sichang.

It can be seen that both of them are very loyal, and they tell them everything in detail. Although he did it himself, the consequence was that he was affected, but he was still very happy.

Chongzhen under the light, accompanied by Wang Chengen, watched the music intently, and a sound of footsteps came.

A little eunuch outside the gate of the hall hurried in, and when he saw Chongzhen was busy, he didn't dare to make a sound, and quietly ran to Wang Chengen's side and whispered something.

"What's the matter, tell me directly, it just so happens that I am also a little sleepy."

Chongzhen put down the review in his hand, something must have happened, otherwise this little eunuch would not dare to come to him in the middle of the night.

"Back to the emperor, the matter has already come to an end. It's just that now that the imperial horse supervisor is involved, the slave has no ability to investigate further, and he asks the emperor to decide. ”

Hearing Chongzhen's question, Wang Chengen's henchmen immediately said everything he knew, and he didn't dare to hide it in the slightest.

"It seems that this matter is not simple, you have the support of your partner, but you don't dare to investigate, the forces involved behind this scene are not small!"

Chongzhen's face was uncertain, and there were faint signs of anger.

"Let's talk about what we found first, and don't hide it."

Chongzhen sat up straight, pounded his back gently, and dealt with the twists and turns of the night, he was really a little tired.

Seeing that Chongzhen was a little tired, Wang Chengen immediately stepped forward and gently helped Chongzhen pinch his shoulder.

"Emperor, three days ago, after receiving an order, the servants immediately closed the palace gate to prevent leakage of news.

Everyone who went out was documented and had people follow along the way. There is only a small yellow door of the Shang Shan Supervisor, who behaves suspiciously.

What is very strange is that within three hours, this little eunuch was arranged to go out to buy as soon as he returned to Shangshanjian.

While he was away, the minion's men found him placing a note at a vendor's stall.

After the information was taken away, the slave immediately arrested the little eunuch, tortured him, and learned that the vendor was a spy who specialized in receiving information from the palace.

After confirming that the spy sent the news, the slave also arrested the spy and tortured him, only to find out that the information was finally sent to the Huang family of Shanxi Jin merchants.

Next, the slave wanted to go down to investigate, but the other party had already found traces, and the spies who were locked up in the edict prison were also killed, and the clues were completely broken here.

But the minions found that the source pointed to the court officials and the imperial horse supervisors. ”

Speaking of this, the little eunuch stopped, and then without him saying it, Chongzhen also understood that it was the court and the imperial horse eunuch who snuffed out these clues together.

"I know!"

Chongzhen waved his hand, and the little eunuch finished saluting and slowly withdrew.

"Big companion, these Jin merchants are amazing, it's really like Qin Aiqing said, no matter who the officials of the Ming Dynasty are, they can't escape their palms.

I thought that the last purge would arouse their vigilance, but I didn't expect it...... Alas! ”

For Jin Shang, Chongzhen has no good impression, and the reason why he didn't catch it all last time is that he has a lot of things to consider.

Besides, the Jin merchants would contribute one million taels of silver to the internal treasury every year through the eunuch Gao Qiqian, and now it seems that they are drinking to quench their thirst.

Jin merchants not only smuggled capital enemies, but also bribed officials, exploited loopholes, and dug into the corners of the Ming Dynasty to earn huge price differences.

"Emperor, Liu Guang doesn't dare to say it, now there are all kinds of signs that it is the Imperial Horse Supervisor Gao Qiqian Gao, as well as other ministers of the court.

It's just that the person is dead, and there is no evidence, so I'm afraid that the chicken will fly and the dog will jump. ”

Wang Chengen shook his head and said helplessly.
