The test saw that the stirrup saddle did have the ability to rival the iron riding of the Jin Kingdom, and Liu Chen naturally would not let it go easily. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

With a wave of his hand, Liu Chen transferred the blacksmith from the three workshops in the north and east to the east and west of the eight hundred generations who lived in Shu, and moved his family into the camp outside the west gate, and sent 2,000 elite soldiers to garrison it to guard against death.

At the same time, Liu Chen began to recruit 8,000 elite soldiers in various armies in Shuzhong, not only to be physically strong, but also to have a clean family.

The selected people would be secretly sent to a certain place in Shudu, and this was only done in secret, and at the same time, Liu Chen targeted some cities and counties to eliminate traitors in order to prevent information from being exposed.

At this time, Liu Chen was beginning to worry about how to create wealth for the Han Dynasty, after all, after this battle, not only the treasury was exhausted, but even the people were tired.

Indeed, if it weren't for Liu Chen's victory in the battle and the transportation of a lot of goods from Jingbei, but there would have been little left to reward many meritorious heroes, and even the Zhongyong Pavilion guaranteed by Liu Chen had to be put on hold temporarily.

However, although Shudu is rich in products, the technology at this time is a little insufficient, not to mention others, Panzhihua's vanadium titanomagnetite, Liu Chen can only look at the ocean and sigh.

And when Liu Chen was so anxious, Yin Xiang took Liu Chen's private money and mission and headed to the east.

In the end, Liu Chen fixed his eyes on the soil and made up his mind, Liu Chen ordered:

"Order, let the general Huang Chen, the right general Zhang Yi, and the general Su Yu come to see Gu!"

Soon, the three of them came in a row, and when they saw Liu Chen, they said in unison:

"The last general will see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Liu Chen didn't know about these red tapes, and after letting the three of them sit down, he hurriedly said:

"Can the three of you look at the geography of mountains and rivers?"

Hearing this, the three of them were puzzled for a while, Huang Chen frowned and said:

"What Your Highness is referring to, but the people who are waiting to see the alchemy talisman of feng shui?"

Liu Chen found that he had made a mistake in his words, and hurriedly corrected it:

"No, the one who is lonely can see what is in the mountains, for example, charcoal!"

At this time, the coal is called charcoal, and it is not popular because it does not remove smoke and has a strong smell.

And Liu Chen's gaze is to take a fancy to this thing.

Now the three of them understood, although they didn't know what the use of Liu Chen to find this kind of person, they still said:

"Most of the military are ignorant people, and those who can have this ability, except for some sect warlocks, there are only a few scouts."

Hearing this, Liu Chen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said:

"I don't know if there is such a capable person in the army, if there is, just send it here for Lone!"

Seeing Liu Chen like this, Zhang Yi hesitated for a long time, and when Liu Chen saw this, he said:

"If you have doubts, you can say anything, why do you have to worry about anything, is it still such a person who does not distinguish between right and wrong?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yicai opened his mouth and said:

"Your Highness, the charcoal is buried deep under the earth and stones, and it takes much effort to take it, and it is useless to use it......"

Liu Chen laughed and said that he had a way to mine, and a few people asked again, but Liu Chen was silent and smiled mysteriously.

"Husband, you are the current crown prince, Your Majesty has entrusted state affairs to you, but you are doing these things that your subordinates do, I'm afraid it's not good!"

Rao is crown princess is accustomed to seeing Liu Chen's mystery and weirdness, and she can't help but speak out at this time.

Liu Chen listened, but he smiled silently, and then continued to make Zhuge Jing Xinhai do things, and the beauty frowned for a while.

Xin Hai still had a blank face, and he couldn't see anything, but Zhuge Jing's expression was a little aggrieved, but he had to do it.

He has been salivating for the saddle stirrup, so Liu Chen has many strange requests, and he gritted his teeth to do it.

Right now, for example, he's doing a lot of things that mountain kids do—and mud!

After finishing the mud, I thought it would end this painful experience, but unexpectedly Liu Chen started a new command.

First, a pit is dug on the flat ground, and then a lot of wood and branches are stacked in the middle, and the surface is covered with a layer of flammable materials such as twigs and leaves.

Then cover with thin mud, leave eight large holes on the bottom eight sides, leave a hole at the top, and then ignite the fire to make the top burn, and when the flame goes down, cover the top big hole.

The fire burns downward, and when there is a clear fire on one side, the hole is closed.

It took an hour, and a half-person-high mound of soil was finally made, Liu Chen also smiled easily, and said:

"Okay, let's see the results tomorrow!"

Hearing this, Xin Hai and the others breathed a sigh of relief, although this is not a tiring job, but it is indeed a little aggrieved to let them do this at this level.

The next day, when he opened it, it was naturally a pile of black carbon that had turned into extremely hard, Liu Chen took out a wrist-sized black carbon and handed it to Zhuge Jingdao:

"Come, Xingzong, try the hardness of this charcoal!"

Zhuge Jing took it, smiled, and said to Liu Chen:

"Hehe, my brother knows Xingzong's arm strength, isn't this a piece of cake! Look at me! ”

"Hey!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he tried his best, the steel carbon did not break in response, and suddenly the surprised and embarrassed Zhuge Jing was angry, and he shouted, his waist was shaken, the tendons on his hands bulged, and the green tendons appeared.

"Oops!"

Click!

Finally, the steel carbon was still broken, but the sharp voice and Zhuge Jing's red face showed that this thing was very rigid and hard.

"Brother, is this charcoal, why doesn't it look like it, charcoal is very soft!"

Liu Chen smiled slightly, although there was charcoal at that time, most of it was charcoal that burned the smoke out of the fire, which not only burned quickly, but also produced more ash.

"This thing, Lone calls it steel carbon, today you think it's very strange, tomorrow, Lone will make it very common!"

Liu Chen was very cautious about steel carbon, not only sent the trump card in his hand to find a few hidden places, but also set up a garrison camp tent there, which was dedicated to guarding and prohibiting all outsiders from probing.

Seven days later, Hongyuan steel carbon with a monopoly on steel carbon paved in Shudu, Jiangyou, Jiangzhou, Yunxian, Deyang five places opened for business at the same time, not only the selected boundary in the rich activity area, but also put out a special signboard.

In front of the store, there will be three grills, one of which has a roaring charcoal fire under it, and a roast suckling pig with fragrant oil on top, and people who watch it are greedy.

Not only that, on the other side, there are two roasting methods, ordinary charcoal and firewood, and the roasted suckling pig is also very fragrant.

But if you smell it carefully, you can find that there is a strong smell of smoke, and the firewood is blackened, and ordinary charcoal must be charcoal frequently, and a lot of soot is produced.

This is the contrast highlighting method that Liu Chen thought of, and the fragrant suckling pig attracted countless rich people who thought it was a newly opened restaurant, and the purpose was naturally achieved.

"Wow, what is this, made of wood? Why is it so powerful? ”

Countless exclamations and many questions have surrounded this place, all of which are amazed at the magic of this thing.

"This is steel carbon, as for how to do it, there is no comment, the price is ten taels of silver and one hundred catties, and you need to enter the store to talk!"

These "royal disciples" who had been taught by Liu Chen tried their best to shape this object quite mysterious according to Liu Chen's meaning.

"Ahem, cough, cough, this damn firewood, although it drives away the cold, is also very choking, if only there was firewood that doesn't choke people!"

An old man who was deeply smoked by firewood said this, and his words were quite helpless, but at the same time there was a longing for that kind of firewood.

"Father, father, guess what you saw today!"

A man dressed in official clothes walked in excitedly and said to the old man who couldn't stop complaining and coughing.

After some telling, the old man suddenly got up and hurriedly urged:

"Let's go, go buy two hundred catties, no, five hundred catties!"

Such scenes have appeared in many places, and the appearance of steel and carbon has freed many people from the distress of winter, and there has also been a rush to buy in these places.

When some people were still waiting, but the news of selling out was spread, it turned out that Liu Chen's regulations were that each store could only sell 2,000 catties a day, which was also a limited purchase and sales technique, which really made some people regret it.

Many families placed orders in advance and pushed the purchase directly to a week later.

At this time, Mi Da, who was scolded by Yin Xiang, was leisurely barbecuing in the luxurious mansion, but the smoke that drifted from time to time made him very unhappy.

"Waste, didn't you let you wait to fan over, why did you come here again, what's the use of waiting!"

Kicking the two silent servants away, Mida puffed up her stomach and hurriedly rubbed her eyes and ran away to avoid the smoke.

"Master, master, good things, good things!"

At this time, a sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked man ran in and said happily to Mida, who was on fire and slapped his palm on the head, but the man was not angry, but laughed:

"Thank you master for the fight, the slave has found something good, and you are satisfied!"

Mi Da was first overjoyed when he heard this, and then he was suspicious:

"Really? Won't you use an old chicken as a chick to prevaricate Lao Tzu like last time? ”

Seeing that Mi Da wanted to be crooked again, the man hurriedly explained, Mi Da was also happy when he heard this, thinking that a good mood of barbecue was smoked by smoke, he was very angry.

"Let's go, master, the slave has already ordered a thousand catties, which is enough to survive this cold winter!"

Mida was first overjoyed and was about to step forward and walk out, but he took a step back again, his fox eyes turned around, and then he slapped the man in the face, covering him.

"You actually want Lao Tzu to open money? Such a shop has not yet been born, you quickly go to Feng Duwei, and say that Lao Tzu has found the enemy country spy again, and he will turn back five or five points! ”

Soon, that Feng Duwei came to Mi Mansion with more than ten people, and Mi Da walked out to say a few words to him, and then surged towards the Hongyuan steel carbon shop.

At this time, Liu Chen, who was in a private room in a restaurant, received the news, Liu Chen smiled slightly and muttered:

"Sure enough, it's a greedy wolf, and the fresh meat that just came out has to be eaten, okay, find someone to scare him first, let Tang Xing go!"

"Yes!"

The person who reported it was like a dark shadow, and it disappeared in a flash......
