Steel is extremely important in both the era of cold weapons and the age of hot weapons.

Although the Tang Dynasty's military strength was much stronger than that of the Song Dynasty, it was far behind in science and technology. Of course, this is also related to Li Erzhong's practice of suppressing business, and technology is not favored by others at all in this era.

Qin Ze wanted to arm the two tigers, and improving steelmaking was the most important step. Otherwise, with the current level of steel, even if Qin Ze had a hundred kinds of weapons in his head, it would be useless to build them.

Wei Chigong and Du Ruhui were unfamiliar with Qin Ze, except for the military rations this time, they had never heard of this person before.

So when he heard that Qin Ze was going to study weapons, Du Ruhui stood up and refuted it at the first time.

As the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Du Ruhui followed Li Er to pacify Liu Wuzhou and Wang Shichong. The change of Xuanwu Gate was also planned by him and Fang Xuanling together, and it is definitely not bad in terms of intelligence.

Therefore, as soon as he heard that Qin Ze wanted to study weapons, he immediately refused: "Datang Weapons has its own ordnance supervisor is responsible, how can it fall into the hands of others." This is not possible. ”

Qin Ze also knew what the other party was worried about, he was afraid that he would leak Datang's secrets, which was related to Datang's lifeblood.

If those aliens know about the production of Datang weapons, it is estimated that Datang's advantages will disappear. So this thing, he, the secretary of the military department, has to protect it no matter what.

And not only Du Ruhui was not worried about him, but Li Er was also worried about him. Let Qin Ze be a military ration, this is understandable. But if it really involves weapons, it's not so easy to say.

"What Du Qing said is very true, and there is no need to mention this matter again." Li Er waved his hand and directly denied Qin Ze's idea.

Cheng Laoyou, who was on the side, also looked at Qin Ze with a serious face, and couldn't understand why he was so stupid today when he was usually smart.

Qin Ze smiled and said to Du Ruhui: "Lord Shangshu, what the minister said about studying weapons is definitely not to spy on anything. If the adults are not at ease, they can send someone to spy on the minister. ”

As soon as these words came out, Du Ruhui was also stunned. Why couldn't he hear what Qin Ze meant, but he didn't know what Qin Ze was doing this for?

Unlike Du Ruhui, Li Er knew that Qin Ze was a person. But when he heard him say this, he also frowned, thinking that this kid didn't toss military rations and changed weapons to weapons? Or is it that you're getting into some trouble outside again, to please yourself?

Qin Ze knew that this kid had a ghost idea. If he was really willing to improve his weapon, wouldn't it be a good thing for his Datang.

It's just, why this time?

Didn't you whip him?

At that moment, Li Er's face was pale, he faced Qin Ze with a cold face, and his eyes were staring at Qin Ze.

"Tell me, why this time?"

Li Er's words are not understood by others, can Qin Ze not understand. At the moment, he was dressed upright, and replied with a righteous face: "Your Majesty, it is true that after the minister ate the locust military rations, he had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and there were more of these things. ”

What Qin Ze said was true, but he could hear the anger on Wei Chigong's face over there, and he almost rushed up and beat Qin Ze.

Li Er was also amused by Qin Ze's words, how did he not know that Qin Ze was talking nonsense, if he could eat this by eating locusts, then why didn't he have anything after eating it last time?

"I'll be honest." Li Er knew that Qin Ze was climbing along the pole, and if he didn't put some pressure on him, this kid was full of flickering.

Qin Ze also knew that he couldn't fool anymore, so he told him the ins and outs of the matter.

All the bigwigs present looked at Qin Ze with snot and tears, saying that they were doing this for their own lives. It's just that the expression is a little contrived and slightly exaggerated.

Li Er's face was weird after hearing this, and he looked at Qin Ze for a long time before he spoke: "Just for this?" ”

He couldn't guess Qin Ze's thoughts, and he would spend so much time on such a simple question.

"Your Majesty, the minister only needs some weapons. Don't look at anything else, and don't want anything. If you don't worry, I won't even go to the Ordnance Superintendent. ”

Qin Ze saw that Li Er was a little moved, and hurriedly said in pursuit.

When he said this, except for Li Er and Cheng Laoyou, who had dealt with him in advance, the other two people had question marks on their faces. They really couldn't understand what Qin Ze meant.

However, Wei Chigong had other ideas, especially when he saw that one by one he joined the army, and he dared to let go of such big words. As soon as he was angry, he snorted coldly and said, "I'm so arrogant and I'm afraid it's just a straw bag." ”

"Oh, I can't figure it out, didn't I just make a military ration, did you scare me like this?"

Qin Ze looked at Yu Chi Gong and thought sneeringly. It's just that he didn't show any displeasure on his face, not because he didn't want to, but because his identity didn't allow it.

Cheng Laoyou, who was on the side, walked out laughing at this time. Without saying a word, he patted Qin Ze's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, nephew, he can't look down on his right martial guard, but my left martial guard is rare." Don't worry to do it, your Uncle Cheng supports you. ”

After speaking, he looked at Wei Chigong to the side and said, "Old man Wei Chi, are you really sure you don't want to?" ”

When Wei Chigong heard Cheng Lao Demon call Qin Ze a virtuous nephew, he thought that he was another guy who climbed the relationship and went through the back door. Originally, he didn't think that Qin Ze could have any materials, so he was even more unoptimistic.

At that moment, he snorted his nose and said with a look of disdain at Qin Ze: "If he can do anything, I, Wei Chi Gong, will eat locusts in front of your Zuo Wuwei." ”

"Okay, it's a deal!" Cheng Laoyou slapped his face and immediately made a bet. Afraid that he would hesitate, Wei Chigong changed his mind.

He was so refreshing, but Du Ruhui on the side hesitated. Cheng Lao Demon doesn't seem to be an arbitrary person, so it is impossible to say this for no reason.

In addition, when he turned his head to look at Li Er, he found that the other party also had a smile on his face, so he was even more curious about who Qin Ze was.

After groaning for a while, Du Ruhui said to Qin Ze for the first time: "I don't know what kind of weapons Qin is going to make when he joins the army?" ”

"Eighty percent is to dye the feathers on the bow and arrow." Qin Ze hadn't spoken yet, but Wei Chigong on the side said coldly.

Qin Ze didn't understand what he said, but Cheng Lao Demon could understand it, and this was revealing the shortcomings of his last dedication to Xiangrui. At the next time, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his beard trembled and said, "Old man Yuchi, you have to remember what you say now, and if you ask me in the future, don't regret it." ”

"Hmph, just with your little effort? They still expect me to come and beg people, and talk about dreams. "Wei Chigong is also short-tempered, and when he heard Cheng Lao Demon say this, he immediately rushed up to fight.

Li Er on the side naturally couldn't sit idly by, and the generals who followed him didn't have much restraint on weekdays. But as the emperor, Li Er still has to remind them in due time.

"Enough of you two, listen to what that kid has to say."

Li Er has never called Qin Ze's name, it has always been this kid, that kid's name. However, Qin Ze was also happy to be like this, only by firmly holding Li Er's thighs could he live safely.

Seeing that everyone turned their eyes to him again, Qin Ze shrugged his shoulders and said honestly: "Your Majesty, when I ate locusts the day before yesterday, ......"

"Hiss~"

Qin Ze's words were interrupted by Li Er's inhalation voice.

"No one can really kill you about locusts, if you dare to talk about it again, I will beat you with thirty boards first."

Li Erneng didn't know Qin Ze's ghost idea, and he had seen Qin Ze's ability to pretend to be a ghost in the rat demon.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Zehuan happily thanked him. What he was waiting for was Li Er's words, and as soon as these words came out, even if this basin was buckled on his head, he would not be able to detain people.

"Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the steel filling method?"

"Hiss~"

Li Er took another long breath of inhalation. Qin Ze likes to hang people's appetites, he knows this, but he doesn't need to use it on himself.

Qin Ze also reacted immediately, and hurriedly laughed twice and continued: "Your Majesty's steel-filling method is different from the block steel-making and steel-frying method, not only is it simple to operate, but the steel produced is also more uniform. The point is that it is extremely fast, dozens of times faster than usual. ”

The so-called steel filling method was invented in the Song Dynasty, and then finally formed after a series of improvements, and this method is still used even in some places in later generations.

And this is also the only method that can be used with the current level of science and technology in the Tang Dynasty. As for what kind of furnace steelmaking, electric steelmaking, there is no need to think about it.

As soon as he heard Qin Ze's words, which were dozens of times stronger, the entire Lizheng Hall fell silent. Even Cheng Laoyou, who had always been a little excited, looked at Qin Ze with a suspicious expression.

Tens of times is a very vague word, it can be ten times, it can be ninety times. But no matter which one it is, for them, it is something they dare not think of.

Not to mention Wei Chigong, who has always been skeptical, even Cheng Lao Demon is beginning to be suspicious.

Li Er was also puzzled at this time, but after looking at Qin Ze, he found that he didn't mean to joke at all.

Just as he wanted to ask, he saw Qin Ze's eyebrows jump, and he quickly stopped his mouth.

Li Er knew this expression, and this was clearly a precursor to this kid's going to trick people. And even Li Er couldn't see through how much Qin Ze was capable of, so he decided to endure it. Anyway, there will always be people who can't stand it.

Sure enough, Wei Chigong on the side immediately jumped out, his face was gloomy, and his eyes turned from disdain to anger.

"Don't you think I'm a liar and deliberately laugh at me? If there is such a wonderful method, how can I not know? ”

Qin Zexin said Of course you don't know, if you know, I have to doubt it.

I was about to say that this was the inspiration I got when I ate locusts, but I remembered that this reason had been banned by Li Er.

After thinking about it, he had to reply: "If the general doesn't believe it, just find someone to take a look." If the minister has the slightest lie, he will be at the disposal of the general. ”

Seeing is believing, it's useless to reason with them, this thing is too incredible for them, it's better to see it with your own eyes.
