Youzhou Governor's Mansion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Have you found out?" a man with a gloomy face and a beard in his forties stood at the open window and looked at the gray sky, and asked lightly.

"Back to the general, after several twists and turns, I finally found out," a lieutenant-like person said respectfully behind the middle-aged man's back.

"Oh, who is dealing with the governor of Pontus, is it the crown prince who is making his own decisions, or is the emperor secretly instructing" the middle-aged man asked in a condensed voice.

Claiming to be the governor, and in the Youzhou Governor's Mansion, this middle-aged man with a gloomy face turned out to be the general of the left leading army, and the governor of Youzhou, the prince of Pengguo.

Hearing the titles of prince and emperor, the captain subconsciously bowed his head: "It's the prince, but according to the return of the person sent to Liaozhou to investigate, the cause of the incident was caused by Wu Yuanqing, the eldest son of Duke Yingguo."

"Why is it Wu Yuanqing again? Didn't Deng Bao send someone to say that Zhang Chengcheng died because of him?" Wang Junkuo's face began to look ugly.

"Yes, this is the person. This time, Deng Bao and the others were suppressed, and the cause was also caused by Wu Yuanqing digging coal more than 20 miles away from the cottage and smelting coke. At that time, Deng Bao sent a man named Niu Er to find out what they were doing, but he was caught by the prince's guards, and the prince was furious and sent people to attack the cottage," the lieutenant explained.

"Oh, according to this, the prince doesn't know Deng Bao's relationship with me," Wang Junkuo sighed and said a little more relaxed.

Seeing a smile on Wang Junkuo's face, the lieutenant was a little afraid to answer, because it was not good news.

Sure enough, after the captain finished speaking, Wang Junkuo's face changed greatly, and he asked loudly: "What?" You said that Ma Don't drive Zhang Cheng, Deng Bao and I told the prince about the relationship."

"Yes" In front of the furious Wang Junkuo, the captain broke out in a cold sweat in fright.

"Bastard" Wang Junkuo gritted his teeth and cursed: "Eating things inside and out, I lost Lao Tzu for using him so heavily back then, and now he actually stabbed Lao Tzu in the back, it's really damned."

Looking at Wang Junkuo walking back and forth on the ground angrily, the lieutenant muttered to himself: "Reuse? I'm really embarrassed to say that when you were the assassin of Liaozhou, people just stopped driving, and you suppressed everywhere and set it up. Before leaving, you also recommended Zhang Cheng to replace you, but the horse that was supposed to be promoted to the assassin didn't end up in vain. Blocking people's future is like killing your parents, and it's strange if people don't stab you."

After losing his temper, Wang Junkuo then asked: "Is it because of this that the prince was angry and sent people to attack the cottage, and what did Deng Bao do after they were taken to Jinyang?"

The lieutenant nodded and said: "Yes, it is precisely because Ma Beijia told you about the relationship between you and Zhang Cheng and Deng Bao that the prince will attack the cottage, and then Wu Guogong took over, Deng Bao and they were escorted to Jinyang, and the next day, they were escorted to Chang'an.

"Bastard, framed, this is all framed" Hearing the rumors that he intended to rebel, Wang Junkuo instantly exploded, kicked over the vase shelf placed by the door, and the vase fell to the ground and fell to pieces.

"Wei Chigong, it must be that Wei Chigong, an old horseman, spreads rumors and slanders the old man."

"Wu Guogong, won't you" The captain was puzzled, okay, why did he point the finger at Wei Chigong.

The school captain naturally doesn't understand, Wang Junkuo and Wei Chigong have never dealt with each other, Wang Junkuo is insidious and cunning, and likes to play yin in everything, while Wei Chigong is straight-tempered and has always been straightforward, so he naturally looks down on the sinister Wang Junkuo.

Both of them are fierce generals, and they have also won the trust of Li Shimin, when the Xuanwu Gate changed, Wei Chigong was naturally a first-class hero, but Wang Junkuo pit his in-law Li Ming, and he is no worse than Wei Chigong, whether it is an official position, a knighthood, or a food, they are all equal.

In this way, fighting is inevitable. Therefore, Wang Junkuo immediately targeted Wei Chigong.

But even if it was determined that it was Wei Chigong who did it, Wang Junkuo had nothing to do with Yu Chigong.

Who let him collude to control the mountain bandits, it is true, now people not only have Deng Bao and these people as witnesses, but the key is that there is also the prince.

You must know that this Zhang Cheng was not good for the prince before, Zhang Cheng was related to himself, and his sister was his own Mrs. Ru, this matter is no longer clear, and now he has added a former subordinate Deng Bao.

As soon as he thought that all of these had been stabbed by Wei Chigong to the emperor, Wang Junkuo gasped for breath, the green tendons on his head were raised, and his teeth rattled.

If Wei Chigong was in front of him, Wang Junkuo would definitely not hesitate to dismantle him to vent his hatred.

"Is that bastard Wu Yuanqing still in Liaozhou" Wang Junkuo suddenly remembered Wu Yuanqing, the culprit, if he hadn't taken the prince to Liaozhou, how could these things have happened.

"I'm still recuperating in Liaozhou, I guess it's time to get better," the lieutenant said cautiously for fear of being angered.

"Didn't you say that the prince took all the guards away, you go and send a few people to Liaozhou to find an opportunity to get rid of him for me," Wang Junkuo commanded with a hideous face.

"Yes", the lieutenant took the order.

Liaozhou

Wu Yuanqing, accompanied by Wang Dynasty Mahan, inspected the steelmaking situation.

Naturally, Wu Yuanqing had not seen it with his own eyes in later generations, and his parents had not yet been born at that time.

However, not far behind their house there were several dilapidated steel-making furnaces left over from that time. It is said that it is a furnace, but it is actually similar to a kiln, but it is a little smaller. They had a small plot of land behind that, and they used to play there when they were young, and my grandmother would sometimes talk about how people made steel there when they were making steel.

After coming and going, Wu Yuanqing also understood seventy or eighty percent, although he had no experience, but with what his grandmother said in his memory, and the shape of the furnace he saw with his own eyes, he still succeeded in getting the steelmaking furnace out.

The clay crucible is made of refractory clay (usually found in places where there are coal mines) as the inner tank of the furnace, that is, the instrument for smelting molten iron. Put some of the prepared fuels mixed with iron ore, pig iron, lime, etc. into the crucible and seal. Then pour coke into the furnace, make the furnace well, then cover the furnace cover, blow air from the blower outlet through the blower, make the coke burn violently, let the material in the crucible heat up and melt, open the furnace when the temperature is high enough, remove the crucible cover, and use a long-handled iron spoon to remove the scum on the top. After adding aluminum and deoxidizing, pour the molten steel into the prepared mold with an iron spoon and pour it for cooling, and then the refined steel ingot is obtained.

Wu Yuanqing watched the hot steel from loading to training come out of the furnace, and the water was injected and cooled into a steel ingot, and his face smiled.

He knew that this kind of blast furnace could be a single crucible, or it could be built a little larger, and multiple crucibles could be placed in the furnace, generally up to four. However, in order to stabilize the area, a small blast furnace with a crucible was built.

Generally, it takes about two hours to make a furnace. A blast furnace can smelt four or five furnaces a day, each furnace produces an average of 100 catties at a time, and a few furnaces built here can have one or two thousand catties of qualified steel ingots a day, which is five or six million catties a year, and the annual steel output of these furnaces alone can be several times that of Datang now.

After such a calculation, Wu Yuanqing was determined in his heart, and he had the chance to win the bet with Wang Lun.

The two dynasty Mahan were even more happy. As a blacksmith, who doesn't want to have good materials to create good utensils, but unfortunately in the past, due to the shortage of steel, blacksmiths like them can only open their own furnace to make iron, and then forge iron pieces and iron bars into weapons through thousands of beatings.

Well, now that you can make steel so easily, when you build weapons in the future, not to mention the best weapons like the 100-for-100 steel knives, but in the general sense, good steel knives are still very easy.

Seeing that the two of them were excited, Wu Yuanqing laughed and said, "How about it, I'm amazing." “

"Amazing, young master is really amazing" The two of them smiled and nodded.

"After that, you two will follow me, with the steelmaking technology you have mastered now, it will be very easy for you to get a half-official position in the Ministry of Industry," Wu Yuanqing said to the two with a smile.

"Don't," the two shook their heads when they heard this.

"Don't? If you don't do anything as an official, then what do you want to do?" Wu Yuanqing asked curiously.

"Young master, we are not the material to be officials, don't poke the basket for you when the time comes. We want to follow you in the future, and be a guard for you or something, you can just reward us with food," Wang Chao said.

"Well, how can I say hello to you, there are officials who should not be my guards. Forget it, since you think so, then let me be a guard" Wu Yuanqing saw that the two really didn't want to be officials, so he was no longer reluctant.

"Thank you, young master"
