Seeing that Yan Ming was relieved, the old lady of the Yan Chen family said: "This is not far off. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Xiang'er, but packed up Xi'er's things and asked her to go with this kid. ”

Yan Ming's face was flushed, and everyone knew what Tian Xi was doing with him. The family members around him all looked at Yan Ming with a smile, and he was even more embarrassed.

The newlywed Yan'er was supposed to stay at home. But because of Gongsun Ao, they will send troops in the middle of the year. This matter became urgent. Yan Ming didn't want to watch his two brothers fall into the Huns, but he didn't help anything.

Although both men have been safe and sound in history. Especially Wei Qing, who has become a general. Although Gongsun Ao was later exterminated by the guilty clan, Yan Ming was here, and he would not allow these things to happen.

Although Yan Ran was reluctant to Yan Ming, she heard that Yan Ming was going to smelting iron to do a big thing, so she tearfully agreed. When Yan Ming was leaving, Yanran called Chengxin over and instructed: "Chengxin, I can't accompany Hou Ye, you have to follow Hou Ye and protect Hou Ye." ”

Chengxin agreed and stood behind Yan Ming. Seeing Chengxin's thin and weak appearance, Yan Ping and Yan An, who originally followed Yan Ming, felt a little disdainful.

But this is what they think in their hearts, after all, this is the princess's personal servant to Yan Ming. And he is a eunuch, so it is more convenient to do anything.

Only Yan Ming knew that Chengxin, a little eunuch, was still very skilled.

It's also a good thing to have a good guy to follow.

He smiled and arched his hand towards Yanran and said, "Thank you, princess." ”

Yan Ran pursed her lips, she couldn't let go of not being able to follow Yan Ming to Smelting Iron Village.

"Forget it, just go for a few days!" Yan Ming really couldn't stand Yan Ran's parting look.

Outside, Nameless has a cart ready. It's still a sneering look.

"Let's go!" Yan Ming shouted, this time he just brought Nameless, Chengxin, Yan Ping and Yan An.

Five people and a big car left Maolingyi like this, and hurried to the iron smelting village.

In the southwest of Chang'an City, the area of the iron smelting village is very large. The iron-smelting equipment that has been passed under the guidance of Yan Ming has now begun to operate normally, and this is the first day that the new molten iron has been baked.

"Lao Li, today is the first day of the furnace, tell the foremen in each section that they must be ready. This first furnace can't lose its craftsmanship! Fan Chen, the old foreman of the Iron Smelting Village, stood at the top and shouted loudly.

Lao Li agreed loudly, and shouted: "Didn't Yan Hou say that he came over when the first furnace was baked?" ”

Fan Chen grinned and said, "Master Hou is young, and it is normal to forget. Let's just do what we do. ”

"Yes, do what you do." A voice sounded, and Yan Ming didn't know when he was already standing in the observation position.

It was the first furnace of iron under his direction. To be precise, the iron smelted according to his method already belongs to the category of steel.

Yan Ming made a strict calculation of the carbon content in the molten iron. For this first molten iron, Yanming requires both hardness and toughness.

This kind of steel, the refined swallow knife can be the most lethal.

"Yanhou, it's really a believer!" Fan Chen gave a thumbs up.

"Open the furnace, the iron burns well, and I will give you credit in the future!" Yan Ming said solemnly.

"Okay!" Fan Chen promised, it's good to have this sentence, as for the real meritorious service reward of ironmaking, he just took it as a joke.

"Open the furnace!" With Fan Chen's shout, everyone began to get busy.

Streams of molten iron flow out of the furnace and are poured into molds that have been prepared long ago.

The temperature in the iron-smelting village instantly increased. Everyone was sweating profusely and full of energy.

Busy time always flies. When Fan Chen came over with the molten iron, it was already getting late.

Yan Ming took the iron block, flicked it twice with his hand, showed a satisfied look on his face, and said: "This piece, immediately six hundred miles expedited, sent to Chang'an City, to Your Majesty." ”

"Master Hou, let me send this piece of iron! Last time, His Majesty's assignment was not completed, and this time I just asked for a credit. Chengxin smiled.

This kid has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he is about to catch up with Han Yan's handsomeness. If it weren't for the eunuchs, I wouldn't know how many girls would have been harmed.

"Okay, tell Your Majesty, this kind of Tie Yanming will be requisitioned for a few hundred yuan!" Yan Ming said.

Fan Chen on the side stuck out his tongue when he listened.

The dictatorship of salt and iron, so the iron smelting village has also seen many high-level officials, but he has never seen Yan Ming speak boldly to the emperor like this.

Chengxin nodded, took the iron block in Yan Ming's hand, and turned over and got off the high platform.

Yan Ming looked at Cheng Xin, who was very happy, and didn't remind loudly until he was about to run out of the door: "Don't forget to wrap it in red silk to show joy." ”

Chengxin in the distance paused, and immediately turned his head and ran in the direction of his residence.

Yan Ming made a little effort to clear his heart, but he was happy in his heart, and turned his face to ask Fan Chen: "Smelting Iron Village, I am not mistaken, I also feed a group of blacksmiths, right?" ”

Fan Chen clenched his fists and said, "What Master Hou said is true. Although we are called Iron Smelting Village here, we are actually responsible for the creation of some iron tools. ”

"Call all the blacksmiths to Benhou." Yan Ming commanded.

Fan Chen knew that since Yan Ming had refined such a good iron, it would definitely come in handy. Immediately let someone go and call the leader of the blacksmith, Da Lao Chen, to come over.

Yan Ming waved his hand and said, "Don't call, where is the blacksmith working, let's go over together." Tell someone to bring some pieces of fine iron and go with them. ”

Fan Chen immediately called someone to bring more than a dozen pieces of raw iron and led Yan Ming to the craftsman's prison.

In fact, when you leave the ironwork and listen carefully, you can know the location of the craftsman's supervisor.

Because the tinkling sound over there kept coming.

The design of the Craftsman is very interesting, usually five people around a heating furnace, which makes it easier and faster to make iron.

Seeing Fan Chen leading a young man over, the blacksmith leader Da Lao Chen immediately put down the sledgehammer in his hand and greeted him.

"Fan Tou'er, who is this little brother?" The elder Chen has thick muscles, no worse than those sturdy soldiers. Even the arms appear thicker.

"This is Yan Hou, our Iron Smelting Village is Yan Hou's subordinate, and you don't have anyone in this brain!" Fan Chen smiled and sarcastically mocked the elder Chen Dao.

"Oops!" Elder Chen patted his head and said, "Look at my memory, meet Yanhou." ”

Yan Ming waved his hand and said with a smile: "The false courtesy will be waived, and now you will pick out the best person among your blacksmiths." Benhou has a job to hand over to you, and if you do a good job, not only Benhou will be rewarded, but even the emperor will probably be rewarded! ”

Elder Chen is a person with a straight personality, and when he heard this, he immediately hugged his fists, turned around and shouted: "Zhang San, Ma Wu, Yao Qi, Liu Datou, get out immediately." ”

"Yes!" Several people's voices of different heights and lows sounded in different places.

Four men with strong arms, dressed in oil, walked out, stood behind the elder Chen, and bowed their hands, which was regarded as a salute.

"How many of you are the best blacksmiths?" Yan Ming asked with a smile.

"Master Hou, among the prisoners of this craftsman, apart from me, they are the most outstanding. Zhang San, in particular, is the best at creating complex things! Elder Chen said proudly.

"Good!" Yan Ming shouted hello, waved his hand back and said, "Fan Chen, give the original iron to a few people." Elder Chen, Zhang San, come here. ”

Yan Ming said, taking out the drawings from the cuffs. One was given to Da Lao Chen, and one was given to Zhang San.

"You have to build at least two hundred of these two things before fifteen." Yan Ming said.

In Zhang San's hand is a drawing of a stirrup, with clear data.

In the hands of the elder Chen is the drawing of the Yan knife designed by Yan Ming. He looked at the drawings and said, "This even building belt is a little tight!" ”
