Things didn't develop in the direction Qiao Zhongxu imagined at all, Qu Jiang reported the matter, the emperor's expression didn't fluctuate at all, and he said very calmly: "Let's try it first, and then discuss it after the smelting results come out." ”

Then he waved his hand slightly, and without even raising his head, he sent them out.

The emperor's attitude surprised Qiao Zhongxu, reminding him of the fact that a few years ago, so many children of prominent families in the capital couldn't find a place after colliding with Shao Yi and suffering losses.

The emperor actually protected Shao Yi so much, can even the interests of the court be put back?

As he walked out, he peeked at Qu Jiang's expression, trying to see something on the face of this person who often dealt with the emperor. But seeing that Qujiang is also a matter of course, there are no accidents and entanglements at all.

Qiao Zhongxu's heart couldn't help but jump a few times, he did something wrong today. It seems that in the future, when he talks to Shangqing Yunzhai and Shao Yi about the Wujin Stone Mining Area, his posture will have to be lowered.

Thinking of his attitude towards the daughter of the Xia family today, alas, I don't know if that woman will chew the root of her tongue at Shao Yi's place...... For a while, all kinds of chagrin lingered in my heart, and I was entangled all the way back to the Ministry of Engineering

Although the emperor did not put state affairs after Shao Yi as Qiao Zhongxu thought, he really didn't take Shao Yi's speculation too seriously.

It was only after the two of them left that they glanced at the door and said to themselves: "That bastard thing, he refuses to miss any opportunity, this is in the eyes of money." ”

Then he continued to flip through the cantata, and really put the matter aside.

Two days later, while Xia Yanqing, Fang Chaosheng, Shao Yi and others were waiting, Feng Yance, the squire of the Ministry of Works, and Qiao Zhongxu, the squire in charge of smelting, begged the emperor with the results of the application of the black gold stone to the iron-smelting furnace.

Hearing that these two people asked to meet, the emperor announced that the two of them met at the same time, and asked people to call Qu Jiang over.

Feng Yance and Qiao Zhongxu had seen the emperor and presented the dossier of the trial of the black gold stone smelting.

The emperor didn't know much about iron smelting and the quality of iron, and while waiting for Qujiang, he probably looked at it.

Before he finished reading a page, he frowned, raised his eyes and asked Feng Yance, "Looking at your description of iron here, the trial situation of Wujin Stone is not very good." ”

Feng Yance had already sat down, and when he heard the emperor's question, he hurriedly got up and replied: "Your Majesty, at present, it seems that the application of black gold stone in smelting is much better than that of wood, which can not only improve efficiency, but also consume less. ”

The emperor tapped the dossier he handed over with his knuckles, and said, "But the iron you wrote here is not very good, and the quality is very unstable. ”

In fact, at the end of this dossier, it is clear that the advantages of trying the black gold stone are explained, but the emperor did not see the end.

Feng Yance didn't dare to point out that the emperor was impatient, so he didn't continue to look at it, so he had to continue to report: "Smelting iron ore consumes a lot of wood, although this time I changed the black gold stone, the heat is good, and it is also burn-resistant, and it can smelt a hundred catties of pig iron, but it still consumes seven or eight hundred catties of black gold stone." Two thousand catties is really not enough, and I can't see the final result. ”

Feng Yance's coming here is exactly the reason Fang Chaosheng said. The officials and iron-smelting craftsmen in charge of iron smelting had great hopes for the improvement of the smelting efficiency and the quality of the iron materials.

It was these people who lobbied Qiao Zhongxu and Feng Yance in many ways, hoping to get enough black gold stones to support the iron-smelting furnace to continue experimenting, in order to obtain more efficient and high-quality iron.

The emperor understood the meaning of Feng Yance's words, but he did not express his position, but continued to look through the various descriptions in the file about the trial of the Wujin stone.

At the same time, weigh in your heart, if the stock of black gold stone in the Qingyunzhai kiln is not enough, whether to ensure the glass pool kiln test, or to use it in smelting first.

At the end of the dossier, Qu Jiang also came.

After paying homage to the throne, the emperor handed the file to Qu Jiang, "Look at the situation after the use of black gold stone in the iron smelting furnace, and estimate the advantages and disadvantages of black gold stone instead of wood." ”

Qu Jiang glanced at Feng Yance and Qiao Zhongxu before he lowered his head and looked through the file. After a quick glance, I couldn't help but sweat for Qingyunzhai.

"Your Majesty, according to the situation described in this dossier, the black gold stone and iron smelting are of great benefit. Although it seems that the texture of the iron is not even now, some clues can be seen. Instead of firewood, the temperature of the iron smelting furnace can continue to rise, and the mixing of some other ores is likely to make the iron quality higher. "Smelting steel is a matter of national strength, and Qujiang can only tell the truth.

Qujiang will be a supervisor, and in a small area of smelting, iron ore has been smelted at very high temperatures. It is mixed with other ores, and the hardness and toughness of the iron produced are excellent. However, it cannot be extended to iron smelting furnaces, and the main reason is that the temperature cannot rise.

It is conceivable that after the use of black gold stone, if the temperature in the smelting furnace is raised by a grade, a large number of high-quality iron will be produced, and it will be widely used in many industries and weapons manufacturing. These are definitely major national affairs.

The emperor motioned to Sun Congshan to take the file in Qu Jiang's hand, and carefully read the relevant contents, still hesitating in his heart.

"Lord Feng, if the imperial court starts to take charge of the Wujin Stone Mine now, when will it be officially mined?"

Feng Yance, as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, is also a second-class member of the imperial court, and is a high-ranking official in the court. Although the emperor's question crossed the cabinet, he knew very well about the organizational structure of mining and could talk about it.

But listening to the emperor's question, I guessed the emperor's eagerness, and I couldn't help but sweat.

This in turn had to set up institutions, arrange the required positions, and then appoint officials and build various housing facilities in the mining area. Coupled with the competition between various forces on this fat gap...... Feng Yance's forehead really sweated.

"Your Majesty, this is to restructure a department, and these things are complicated and take time to plan. In addition, seeing that winter is about to begin, considering the construction of the government office in the mining area and the convening of migrant workers, I am afraid that it will take at least a year before the mining can be officially carried out. ”

Feng Yance glanced at the emperor, what he said was already very fast, but he saw that the emperor looked dissatisfied.

The emperor hoped that the steel output of the Great Liang Dynasty would be greatly increased, which was a reflection of the national strength and military strength.

This kind of heyday appeared one day earlier, and the Great Liang Dynasty would be able to gain an absolute advantage one day earlier than the surrounding countries.

But glass is also a matter of urgency.

Although glass is only a civilian product, it is closely related to the technology of the pond kiln that the price of glass has dropped and can be extended to the homes of ordinary people. That would be a steady stream of tax revenues, flowing into the treasury.

The emperor didn't want to put any of them.

Then, Qiao Zhongxu saw a calm expression on the emperor's face again, and listened to the emperor say: "Okay, I know, retreat." The Ministry of Industry continued to try the smelting of black gold stone, went to Qingyun Zhai to verify the stock of black gold stone, and left the pool kiln technology development for use, and the rest was bought by the Ministry of Industry. ”

As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something, and asked Qu Jiangdao instead, "Compared with wood, this black gold stone is transported by the same vehicle, and the black gold stone has a heavy weight and high combustion efficiency, so it should be cheaper than wood, right?" ”

Well, this kind of thing has also been taken into account, Qu Jiang hurriedly replied: "It shouldn't be expensive, last time I took two thousand catties of black gold stones, the Xia family said it was not worth anything, and I didn't ask for silver." ”

"Well, then do it, let's do it."
