"Villain Zhao Si, see my king!"

In the palace hall, Zhao Si, who was urgently transferred back by the secret order of His Royal Highness King Qin, was also specially reminded by Zhao Long, and changed the honorific title from His Royal Highness to our king.

"Huh...... Flat, flat. ”

Zhao Zheng wanted to laugh a little when he saw Zhao Si, and immediately chuckled and signaled to flatten down, and as he spoke, he turned his head to look at Gao Jin, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, who was standing on the side.

"Ah Jin, this is the famous craftsman of Qinchuan that I mentioned to you earlier - Zhao Si."

When Gao Jin heard this, he immediately looked at Zhao Si, but saw that the other party got up in a hurry, and hurriedly waved his hand.

"Oh, don't you dare! The villain is an ordinary man, how dare he call the name of a famous craftsman! ”

Between the words and expressions, there was quite a panic.

"Sir is polite, His Royal Highness calls you a famous craftsman in Qinchuan, presumably the craftsmanship is extraordinary!"

Gao Jin naturally did not dare to be arrogant about the people specially introduced by His Royal Highness King Qin, and said politely on the spot.

"Hey, Lord Squire! What you say is really a tormenting villain! ”

A gentleman shouted, but Zhao Si was even more frightened!

You must know that the person in front of you is the squire of the Great Qin Ministry of Works, and it can be said that his small blacksmith shop is unattainable at all!

And he himself is in charge of the entire territory of the Qin State, the direct boss of civil engineering construction and military armament!

Such a powerful and powerful man was in front of him, but Zhao Si couldn't help but be respectful and cautious.

"Haha! Zhao Si! This king specially transferred you back from the capital...... It's not up to you to be humble here! ”

At this moment, Zhao Zheng suddenly smiled, but Zhao Si, who was listening, was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down again and said respectfully!

"Whoa! The villain has nothing else to do but condensed iron casting ears! If there is anything needed, but at the command of my king! ”

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng smiled with satisfaction, and immediately looked at Gao Jin, signaling him to start.

Gao Jin suddenly understood, and after bowing his hand to His Highness, he turned to face Zhao Si and said.

"This official is fortunate to be valued by my king, and he is temporarily appointed as a waiter in the Ministry of Works! Therefore, I feel a great responsibility, and I want to rectify my Great Qin's weapons and reshape my Great Qin's sharp spear! ”

When Zhao Si heard this, he didn't want to be surprised, and hurriedly said respectfully.

"If there is any assignment, I hope that the lord will give me orders!"

Gao Jin immediately smiled when he saw this, and said softly.

"Don't be nervous, sir, it's just a trivial matter......"

Immediately, he subconsciously turned around and glanced back at His Royal Highness King Qin, and after seeing him bowing slightly, he continued.

"Sir is good at casting iron, can you know how to make steel?"

Zhao Si was stunned when he heard this, as if he didn't expect to ask himself such a simple question.

But after quickly coming back to his senses, he hurriedly responded without thinking.

"Refining steel is simple, but cumbersome, you have to take the thick iron into the furnace, and then after repeated forging back and forth, you can make steel from ironized steel!"

However, after responding, he still couldn't help but show a slight color on his face.

It is necessary to know that these steel-making techniques are almost universal introductory techniques in the world, and anyone who is familiar with wrought iron is naturally familiar with it, let alone him who has been striking iron for decades.

"Yes, this kind of block refining method is simple and popular, and it is very easy to get started...... The disadvantage is that it is too time-consuming, and the output is very small, which cannot meet the needs of large-scale wars! ”

However, the young tall man's next words made Zhao Si nod his head with approval.

If steel is easy to obtain, how can it be so precious and scarce, and it will cost so much?

Seeing this, Gao Jin just chuckled, and then paced slowly.

"Does that gentleman know...... But there is an iron-making technique that can make steel on a large scale, and even meet the needs of the wars of great powers? ”

"What?!"

Zhao Si finally couldn't help but exclaim!

Even for a moment, he couldn't take into account that he was in front of His Royal Highness King Qin at the moment, and such a gaffe was really against etiquette!

He just froze on the spot in disbelief, and kept muttering in his mouth.

"The villain has only heard of it occasionally, and it seems to be as early as the time of the Ten Kingdoms Scuffle...... With the Song Kingdom, he mastered this secret method, which could easily turn iron into steel! But such a miraculous technique has disappeared from the world since the fall of the Song Kingdom! It is a pity to become Kyushu! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Si's face showed an irrepressible look of regret.

For him, who is keen on ironmaking, he has no chance to see such a divine skill in this life, but it is really a pity!

"Not bad! During the period of the Ten Kingdoms Struggle for Hegemony, the Song State had such a secret method! And after the fall of the Song Kingdom, such a magical technique did not disappear from the world, but disappeared with the disappearance of the prince of the Song Kingdom! ”

Gao Jin followed closely and said categorically!

didn't wait for Zhao Si to react, but immediately followed!

"And this kind of magic technique secret method, but in Kyushu for more than ten years, and then after several twists and turns, it finally fell into my hands unexpectedly!"

"What?!"

Zhao Si was even more shocked when he heard this!

But he never imagined that such a divine technique secret method would fall into the hands of this young master in front of him by chance!

But in the blink of an eye, he had no intention of catching a glimpse of the huge palace hall, there were only three people, himself, Lord Gao and His Royal Highness King Qin!

In addition, there is no more than one maidservant attendant!!

At the moment, the center of my mind is thinking, but I think of another possibility!

For this reason, he just wanted to speak, but he forced it back into his stomach again!

It's just because he knows in his heart that such ideas are shocking to the world, and it is definitely not that he and the grass people dare to have any presumptuous speculation!

Otherwise...... In an instant, one mistake will be lifeless!!

"This, this...... Then my king and the adults called the villains to come, could it be that what is the connection with these secret methods? ”

Thinking of this, Zhao Si chose to avoid mentioning it very wisely, not asking how he obtained such a divine technique secret method, only asking about such a major matter, but what does it have to do with him, or what role can he play in it?

"Not bad! Zhao Si! This king commanded you to come, and because of faith he is with you. Therefore, it is ready for you Zhao Ji Iron Shop, with full authority to monopolize this matter! Responsible for the implementation of these secret laws, strictly confidential to the outside world! And since then, Zhao Ji Iron Shop, all of which have been nationalized, will give you one or two dry shares, and take care of this matter carefully! ”

At this moment, he only heard His Royal Highness King Qin suddenly get up and interjected!

"This ......"

When Zhao Si heard this, he was immediately stunned, and his heart was extremely shocked, but he never thought that His Royal Highness King Qin would hand over such a heavy task to himself!!

This made him frightened for a while, and in an instant, he couldn't help but quickly kowtow, and shouted one after another like a stirring heart!

"My king trusts villains so much! The villain is grateful! I will go all out and swear to live up to the king's grace!! ”

"Hahaha! That's great! ”

Zhao Zheng immediately laughed when he heard this, immediately looked at Gao Jin, and signaled that he would hand it over to him next.

Gao Jin immediately looked solemn when he saw this, but he changed his words and called his name directly!

"Zhao Si! Now that the king's order is in front, this official now orders you to be the temporary chief of the ordnance superintendent! Full authority to preside over the matter of tantric steelmaking! If you perform well, you will be promoted immediately! ”

"Villain...... No! Minister...... Command!! ”

When Zhao Si heard this, he was even more overjoyed, he never thought that he would be able to enter the office from this, and he would be able to get an official position in the county!

Even if he knew in his heart that if he didn't join the office, even if he joined, he would never be recognized by the imperial court, and he could only stay in office in the local area for the time being, and the money would not be allocated by the central court, but borne by the local finance.

Therefore, most of these official positions are idle and useless, and they are local temporary official positions that deal with human favors.

and has no rank or rank, and is even jokingly called a 'petty official' and a 'fake official'.

But even so!

For him, who was born in a poor family, if he can get the position of a petty official and a fake official in this life, it is enough to comfort the ancestors and glorify the clan!

"Eh, vested official position...... But how can there be no words? ”

When Zhao Zheng heard the name of Zhao Si, he really couldn't imagine that in the future, Zhao Si, the head of the weapons superintendent, would be called a big name by others......

Therefore, he waved his hand immediately, signaling that he would reward the official position, and then give the word.

"Hmm...... Zhao Si, Zhao Si ......"

So under Zhao Si's nervous and excited gaze, he saw His Royal Highness King Qin leaning on the couch, supporting his body diagonally with one hand, while finally muttering, while thinking about what word should be given.

However, this time the word was given much more easily and casually than the previous two times, but in a few breaths, Zhao Zheng occasionally got something, and couldn't help but smile and say on the spot.

"Then I will give you the word...... Let's stay alive! ”

"Thank you, Wang Daen! Thank you for my great grace!! ”

When Zhao Si heard this, he didn't care about the words given by His Royal Highness, and hurriedly kowtowed again and again like ecstatic, thanking His Highness for his great kindness!

The grace of this reward is tantamount to the grace of recreation!!

So no matter what words His Royal Highness King Qin gives, what is the difference?

Even if His Royal Highness the King of Qin gave the word A cat and a dog, it was also given by His Royal Highness the King of Qin himself, and it was a golden mouth that made others envious!

And His Royal Highness King Qin's move, looking at the eyes of Gao Jin, the servant of the Ministry of Works, on the side, couldn't help but bow his head slightly, and admired in his heart.

He didn't know what the relationship between His Royal Highness and Zhao Si and Zhao Ji Iron Shop was, and Ben was still quite worried in his heart, whether this Zhao Si person could be 100% reliable and trusted.

But His Royal Highness's easy move was just one more word, but it was enough to make Zhao Si grateful to Dade, and it would be difficult for him to have the slightest rebellion in his eternal life!

His Royal Highness's means...... But between the hands, it's enough to be amazing!

"That being the case...... If you can keep it, you will choose a reliable craftsman tomorrow, and the number of people is not capped for the time being...... Remember! It doesn't matter whether you are skilled or not, whether you are honest and reliable is the first! ”

Feeling emotional, Gao Jin did not forget the business, and immediately opened his mouth to command.

The most important prerequisite for this is not the strength of the ability, but the reliability of the character.

Otherwise, if it really leaks out, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the world!

"Whoa! Minister...... Obey! ”

When Zhao Si heard this, he immediately gathered his mind and hurriedly responded!

"After the craftsmen gather, this official will teach you the secret method of forging steel!"

As soon as the forging steel secret method came out, Zhao Si's heart was shocked, but he couldn't help but immediately raise his head and ask expectantly.

"My lord! But I don't know...... What is this law?! ”

Gao Jin just smiled lightly when he heard this, then straightened his back and said proudly!

This method is ...... Frying steel method! ”

……

"Gao Jinzhi (the word Runfa), the former prince of the Song Dynasty, and the later official to the Ministry of Cadres and Works.

Jin Ben was the prince of the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was destroyed in Wei, so he was incognito and lived in Kyushu.

Because of the secret method of Song Forging Steel that he carried, he was wantonly searched and arrested by Li, and he did not get anything for a long time.

In the twelfth year of Shenwu, Zhao Zheng, the ninth prince of Daqian, was crowned the king of Qin and the fief of Qinchuan County.

In March, all measures such as disaster relief, boosting commerce and trade, building water conservancy, and reforming the tax law were all for the benefit of the country and the people, and the merit was in the great goodness of the millennium!

Jin was deeply inspired, and his heart was agitated, so he traveled thousands of miles, went to Qinchuan, and personally offered the secret method of forging steel to the king of Qin, and bluntly said, "The mandate of heaven is in Qin instead of Song, and the law of the Great Song Dynasty is the law of the prosperity of the Great Qin!" ’

King Qin was shocked, refused, and had no choice but to accept it.

Then he was promoted to the head of the Great Qin Ministry of Industry, and then went straight to the Ministry of Great Cadres and Works, and was the pillar of the country. ”
