"Oh my God, I rested last night...... Are you okay? ”

On the second day, when the two monarchs and ministers, who were drunk last night, met again, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but smile and asked.

This wine obviously brought the personal friendship between the two monarchs and ministers, and let Zhao Zheng know Wei Ying's words.

Therefore, if I see you again today, I will change my name instead of Aiqing.

It is necessary to know that the word is more intimate than Aiqing, and the relationship is closer.

"Back to my king, Uncle De has placed everything in place, and he is fine."

Hearing this, Wei Ying hurriedly responded and said respectfully.

"Hmm...... So much better. ”

Zhao Zheng immediately nodded with satisfaction, and he was extremely relieved of Uncle De's ability to take care of housekeeping.

"By the way, Tianji, come with this king...... This king wants to show you something good! ”

Suddenly, his mind was racing, Zhao Zheng grabbed Wei Ying's left hand, and said mysteriously with a smile.

"Oh? The ministers should be happy to go together! ”

Wei Ying's heart was curious, and he replied with a full mouth.

Immediately, he followed behind His Royal Highness King Qin and walked straight out of the palace.

Outside the palace, there were already royal cars ready to wait, and there were also guards and forbidden troops lined up neatly, waiting for the arrival of His Royal Highness King Qin.

"See His Royal Highness King Qin!"

When His Royal Highness King Qin appeared outside the palace gate, everyone in the field immediately knelt down and saluted to greet His Royal Highness King Qin!

Wei Ying also bowed down at this time, watching His Royal Highness the King of Qin board the royal carriage, and then board the follow-up carriage.

But at this moment, all of a sudden-

I saw that His Royal Highness King Qin grabbed his arm!

"Come, Heavenly Machine...... Come in with the king. ”

His Royal Highness the King of Qin looked over with a smile, and actually invited himself to board the king's car together!!

"My king, this, this, this...... How does this work?! ”

Wei Yingden was shocked, and waved his hands again and again as if he was at a loss, signaling that he must not mess with the number of respectful and humble etiquette!

"Eh~! Between you and me...... But why care about all this red tape? ”

Zhao Zheng just chuckled, slowly patted the back of Wei Ying's hand, and with a little force, with Zhao Long's support, Wei Yingsheng was lifted!

"My king! This, this ......"

Wei Ying suddenly felt a strong force attacking from behind him, and he was pushed onto the king's carriage in an instant as if he couldn't resist!

He stood on the wide royal chariot in a daze, looking at the kneeling figure under the field, but he still felt as if he was still asleep......

"What are you doing? Come on in! ”

Zhao Zheng looked at Wei Ying's stunned expression, couldn't help patting the soft couch under him, and called out on the spot with a smile.

“…… Here! ”

Wei Ying hesitated slightly, but he could only bite the bullet and follow His Royal Highness King Qin into the carriage simultaneously.

Immediately, the curtain on the carriage suddenly fell, covering everything inside.

A moment later, the wide king carriage rumbled forward, and the carriage swayed slightly......

……

Hanyang City, Qin State Ministry of Industry

Gao Jin (the word Yunfa), who knew in advance that His Royal Highness the King of Qin would be here today, led a group of officials from the Ministry of Industry to wait quietly in front of the yamen.

After a while, the mighty convoy of King Qin rumbled into the front, and the entire Ministry of Engineering suddenly bowed to the ground under the leadership of Gao Jin, kneeling to greet him!

"Ministers greet His Royal Highness King Qin!"

Suddenly, I saw His Royal Highness King Qin laughing and leading a white-clothed gentleman who had never met him to slowly step out of the carriage.

"Haha! Moisturizer! Come quickly, this king wants to introduce you well! ”

Gao Jin was amazed that this person could share the royal car with His Royal Highness King Qin, but his expression did not move at all, but he quickly got up and walked to the front of the royal car.

"This is my Minister of Qin, Mr. Wei Ying!"

Zhao Zhengxu pointed at Wei Ying, and introduced it in public with a smile.

As soon as the word 'national minister' came out, everyone in the audience was shocked!

After all, I've never heard of this before, and I've never seen this person!

But suddenly, someone was personally recognized by His Royal Highness the King of Qin as the Minister of Qin!

This is tantamount to a blockbuster news, which will have a great impact on the government and the opposition of the Qin State!!

"This ...... The lower official work department waiter Gao Jin! I've seen the Prime Minister! ”

Gao Jin's pupils shrank, obviously shocked in his heart, but he still hurriedly gathered his mind and gave up.

"Huh...... No, Wei Ying, the word Tianji, has seen Lord Shilang. ”

Wei Ying is such a shrewd person, but in just a few words, he knew that this squire of the Ministry of Works was highly appreciated by His Royal Highness, so he politely returned the salute at the moment.

Of course, the words of adults are not used only by subordinates to address superiors.

In officialdom, those whose official positions are similar to each other's can also be crowned with the word "adult" after the official position for the purpose of honorific titles.

Of course, if the two are not on the right path and don't like each other, they can also call them by the word, or so-and-so.

Moreover, Wei Ying obviously has not really changed his identity at this time, and he does not regard himself as the minister of Qin.

Otherwise, in his words, he should call himself who he is, and not humble.

"You two are the king's right-hand men, the ministers of the humerus! In the future, we will definitely support each other and benefit my people of Great Qin! ”

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng immediately smiled, folded the hands of the two together, and gently patted and instructed.

As soon as these words came out, Wei Ying and Gao Jin couldn't help but look at each other, and then said solemnly!

"Whoa! The ministers will live up to the trust of my king!! ”

……

"Runfa, smelting...... Is it going well? ”

When everyone retreated, leaving only the personal guard Zhao Long, the minister of Qin Guo Wei Ying, and the Ministry of Industry Gao Jin on the side, Zhao Zheng couldn't help but ask with an expectant look.

It must be known that the method of frying steel is very important, even in the Ministry of Industry of Qin, it is a secret that is extremely strict in secrecy!

This matter was coordinated by Gao Jin, the squire of the Ministry of Works, and he personally supervised it, even many officials of the Ministry of Industry knew nothing about it.

Only Zhao Si and the relevant craftsmen who were personally involved knew a little bit about it, and they were all strictly guarded, and their food and accommodation were closely monitored, and there was no chance to leave the Ministry of Industry at all, let alone reveal such shocking secrets.

The high labor costs and good food made them willing to stay in the Ministry of Industry, and even ate and lived in the metallurgical workshop.

Moreover, the smelting workshop is a forbidden place in the Ministry of Industry, and it is strictly guarded by heavy soldiers, and it is impossible for ordinary people to get close to the left and right!

Therefore, when going to the metallurgical workshop, it is necessary to retreat left and right, leaving only the relevant core personnel to follow the side.

As Zhao Zheng's personal guard, Zhao Long needs to be protected by Zhao Zheng, so he knows a lot of confidential news, and his loyalty is undoubted, so there is naturally no need to avoid it.

As for Wei Ying, although he first arrived in the Qin State, it is still unclear how loyal he is, but his talent is indeed amazing.

But as the prime minister of a country, it is impossible for him not to know about the major affairs of such a country, otherwise how can he make overall arrangements and enhance national strength?

Therefore, Wei Ying was specially brought here today, so that he could know the hidden strength of the Qin State!

Of course, after entering such forbidden places, it was destined that Wei Ying would find it difficult to leave the Qin State in this life.

Otherwise, if there is a half-separated heart, it will definitely invite death!

How could a minister who knew so many secrets of the Qin State leave the Qin State alive and intact?

Whether it is Wei Ying, or Wang Ying, Li Ying.

As long as you act as the minister of a country, when you enjoy the monstrous power of one person and ten thousand people, you naturally need to fulfill the corresponding responsibilities and obligations!

However, in the Kyushu continent, the ancients who greatly admired courtesy, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and faith, the most particular thing was the word loyalty and filial piety!

Once you have identified the monarch you serve, even if you die, you will have to accompany you, and it is almost impossible for you to defect.

After all, in the environment of loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and filial piety, the traitor will be despised wherever he is, and it is impossible to be reused again, which is basically equivalent to social death!

Therefore, after Wei Ying kowtowed to the king yesterday, he was destined to become a Qin man and Qin Xiang from now on, and he would ...... Can't change it!

"Returning to my king, since I went to Beijing to seconded a hundred craftsmen, my Qin State smelting workshop has grown rapidly!"

At this time, a group of several people, the guards who had already been closely checked, walked into the smelting workshop, Gao Jinyao pointed to the hot scene not far away, and said with a proud face.

"Right now, my Qin State Smelting Workshop, if I work in shifts day and night, I will do my best to catch up! It can produce hundreds of pounds of fine iron per day! Hundreds of swords! Dozens of sets of armor! ”

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!

"What?!"

Especially Wei Ying, he looked at the smelting workshop in front of him, which was not very large, but he never imagined that the output of refined iron could reach such a high level!

"This ...... In the words of Master Gao, there are only hundreds of blacksmiths, how can they produce hundreds of catties of fine iron every day?! ”

Wei Ying couldn't believe his ears!

Even in the Great Li Kingdom, the scale is more than ten times larger than the Qin State Workshop, and the Dali Metallurgical Workshop is only more than 2,000 catties of refined iron per day!

You must know that there are all kinds of people there, but there are thousands of apprentice craftsmen, how many are here?

You must know that refined iron is an indispensable and high-quality raw material for casting battlefield swords, how difficult it is to smelt?

Pieces of pig iron must be continuously heated and forged before refined iron – that is, steel – can be obtained.

After that, steel can be cast into all kinds of weapons.

Therefore, it is very difficult to obtain the raw material for forging weapons, fine iron, and it is extremely difficult to produce large quantities, so it can only rely on the continuous forging of craftsmen day and night.

Therefore, only a million craftsmen can produce hundreds of catties of fine iron per day!

It's unimaginable, it's unbelievable!!

"Oh?"

Gao Jin only shook his head slightly when he heard this, then looked at Minister Wei Ying, and asked with a smile.

"I don't know Lord Wei...... Have you ever heard of the method of frying steel? ”

……

"The method of frying steel is really the pearl of the Central Plains civilization!

However, this pearl of the world actually appeared in the land of Qinchuan and was dug in the hands of the King of Qin!

Giggle! Isn't this the mandate of heaven in Qin Ye? ”
