In June, the weather is already very hot and dry.

Lin Yuyan has gradually let go of Jiangxia's political affairs and handed over all the powers to Ji Liang and Huang Quan to take care of.

In addition to the more than 100 craftsmen brought over by Shanglin Yuan, Yun Mengjun also had more than 1,000 people to assist in the construction of the foundry.

Everywhere and the old nest of the Northern Wang Army is adjacent to the tomb, so the Northern King Mi Quan also knows that the person in charge of Jiangxia County sent by the Qin State is Qin Gongzi Yingyan who has given him a deep lesson, and is now also attacked by the Shouwang Army, although there is a mediation between the prince Miyun and Zhewang, but Shouwang Huan Yu is especially a person who cares about the power of others, in short, the life of the Northern Wang Army is also very difficult today.

Up to now, why didn't Beiwang Miquan know that he and Shouwang Huanyu were like this, and they hadn't been put together by this Qin Gongzi Yingyan?

However, in order to avoid being attacked by the enemy, the Northern King Miquan also pretended not to know about this matter, and even learned that Qin Gongzi Yingyan was the Jiangxia Shou of Qin, this Northern King Miquan still sent a messenger to congratulate, and there was only one meaning to express, that is, he was willing to live in peace with the northern part of Jiangxia under the rule of Qin.

How could Lin Yuyan object, on the one hand, he lit up the soldiers and horses in the south of Daqin, and occasionally mentioned the situation of the current Northern King Army as a beating, and the envoy of the Northern King Miquan left with a gloomy face.

In order to fully complete all aspects of the construction of Jiangxia's side, Lin Yuyan also reduced the defense of the Yunmeng Army in the area of Shuishui, and made every effort to cast Jiangxia's disciples, such as this foundry.

There is no doubt that this foundry on the west bank of Lishui was imitated according to the regulations of Shanglin Yuan in the old days, and the slight difference is the appearance of those casting furnaces.

I have to say that Lin Yuyan took away most of the craftsmen in the Shanglin Yuan Foundry without authorization, which was very immoral, but it was based on the fact that Han Kui forcibly took away the military power of his Yulin Army, and Lin Yuyan also balanced the guilt in his heart.

But later learned that Han Kui took advantage of the fact that Han and Zheng Guo were waging a national war, commanded Chu Zhuang and other rangers in the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, and captured a large number of craftsmen to come to Qin.

In mid-May, this group of Korean craftsmen arrived in Suiyi, Jiangxia, and Lin Yuyan naturally saw the reluctance of these Korean craftsmen, but in order to get the composition of the Korean casting furnace, Lin Yuyan also paid special attention to these Korean craftsmen.

Foil Tin visited the foundry every day and learned that Lin Yuyan had arrived, and he also came to greet him in person.

Lin Yuyan asked, "Foil Division, how is the progress?" ”

Foil Xi responded with a smile: "County guard, half a month ago, the subordinate suggested that Lord Ji Liang and Lord Huang Quan take advantage of the slack time to recruit a group of two thousand people, and now the foundry can be put into use, and when it is fully completed, it will probably take more than a month......"

"That's ......"

Lin Yuyan nodded, and Fin Xi knew what His Highness's intention was this time, so he said as he walked, leading Lin Yuyan to a place.

Stopped, Lin Yuyan found that there were actually several tall iron furnaces in front of him, these iron furnaces, different from the Tanghe Foundry in Shanglin Yuan, were very high, and the shape was also quite different, the furnace was very round, and there were a few curved vents on all sides.

"Lord Gunjo!"

Seeing Lin Yuyan's arrival, Lu Feng, Ma Jun and other craftsmen all stepped forward to respond, and there was a figure with a complicated face at the front, which was a master craftsman from South Korea, Zhou Wu.

"How's the wrought iron technique?"

Seeing Lin Yuyan asking this, many craftsmen said incredulously: "Your Highness, it's hard to imagine that this wrought iron is really too smooth!" ”

"Isn't it good to go well?" Lin Yuyan also asked with a smile.

For the "smooth" of the foundry craftsmen, Lin Yuyan also had long expected, such as today's famous place for casting, as long as there are two places, one is South Korea, and the other is naturally the land of Wu Yue, South Korea attaches great importance to the skills of craftsmen, and wins with "skills", and Wu Yue is more focused on the means of "famous iron smelters" and "treasures of heaven and earth", and there are many masters of sword casting in Wu Yue, and they are better at casting swords with heaven and earth, thunder and fire, and excellent iron.

Lu Feng said with an excited expression: "County guard, it's too smooth, it's hard for us to believe it......"

Foil Xi also said with a smile from the side: "Lu Yan, don't sell Guanzi, let's talk about it now!" ”

Lu Feng said at this time: "Thirty forgings are the wrought iron skills of thirty forgings!" ”

Although Lin Yuyan had a little prediction, he couldn't help but be very surprised when he heard this number, and Lin Yuyan asked, "Doesn't it mean that you can master the iron forging technique of thirty forgings?" ”

In this regard, Lu Feng, Ma Jun and others all replied: "County Shou, it's not like that, although it is now a skill of thirty forgings, but the cost is very expensive, and the iron materials used are all rare and good materials, I am afraid that if it is large-scale production, according to the current situation in Jiangxia, it is really difficult to complete......

Lin Yuyan sighed a little in his heart, now he also has some understanding of iron smelting, and the most fundamental reason for the hindrance of the foundry now is the shortage of raw materials and the serious shortage of high-quality iron.

In fact, there is no shortage of high-quality iron ore in Nanyang, but according to Daqin's current mining energy, it is really difficult to dig deep into the ground, and in Daqin, whether it is Boshan or Miyang, can only be mined on the surface, as for below, it can only be filled with human lives, but so many human lives, Daqin can't take out.

In this regard, Lin Yuyan was also helpless, and he didn't want to extinguish the interest of the famous craftsmen in the foundry, and also said: "After the replacement of armaments, there will be no war in Jiangxia within a year, and now the foundry is mainly built according to the agricultural tools used in Shanglinyuan, and distributed to the people of Jiangxia, so as to resume Jiangxia's production as soon as possible......."

"......" as the director of Jiangxia Foundry, foil tin for everyone.

Then Lin Yuyan also frowned and said, "Foil Division, but Tongbai Mountain has found what you are looking for?" ”

Foil Xi frowned and replied: "The county guard, almost three thousand people have been invested in the search in Tongbai Mountain, and in the past month, there is really no such thing as [limestone] and [black oil] as the county guard said......"

Hearing this, Lin Yuyan also waved his hand, comforted Fang Xi and said: "It's okay, those things can be forced, it's just a little troublesome, and they are transported from Shanglin Yuan......"

When Foil Xi heard this, he nodded with relief, but then he thought of something again, and immediately said, "But...... Instead, some black soil was found. ”

"Black Soil ......"

Lin Yuyan realized something.
