Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Iron has been one of the most important resources in all dynasties, and it has been used in a wide range of applications, both in agricultural production and in military use.

It's just that the ancient iron-making skills were relatively low, and the cost was extremely high, so the price of iron remained high, so that iron could become currency to circulate, and in most areas, farmers did not even have iron plows and shovels.

Therefore, iron is a good business, but it is not easy to buy and sell ironware, although there are blacksmiths among the people, and there are also small-scale ironmaking, but it is not extensive.

However, Zhu Di didn't mind this, and agreed very happily, and then said: "In a few days, I will make an order, and you and Zheng He will handle other matters together." ”

But whenever salt and iron are involved, there must be eunuchs involved, which Hao Fenglou admits this, and Zheng He is still his little junior brother, he has always been loyal and honest, but he is not afraid of stumbling.

Zhu Di had already stood up, Hao Fenglou accompanied him back to Beijing, and when he passed through the inner East City, Zhu Di said in his heart: "How is King Ning lately?" What's the move? I have issued an edict that he will be a vassal, and I will set off on these days, keep an eye on it, and don't make any temporary mistakes. ”

Hao Fenglou nodded and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry." ”

Zhu Di was in a better mood, and continued: "So I can't be stuffy in the palace all day, I have to come out and take a turn, otherwise I will have to hold back my illness." Okay, you go about your business, and I'll go back to the palace. ”

Hao Fenglou and Zhu Di parted ways, this time, Hao Fenglou's mood was also a lot better, and King Han had an excuse to stay, and he could be regarded as a turnaround. After this incident, the entire brocade guard went up and down. I'm afraid that the number of people who have a good impression of me will increase greatly.

As for Zhu Di's patrol camp, he also praised Shenwuwei, and it seems that the level of this Shenwuwei will be raised again.

Hao Fenglou returned to the Thousand Households, and immediately someone came to visit, and it was no one else, but the King of Han.

Hao Fenglou actually didn't want to have too much contact with King Han, and always wanted to avoid suspicion, but people came to the door. There is no reason to turn it away.

Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu came in civilian clothes, and there was no pomp, although he might be watched, at least he was low-key, Hao Fenglou welcomed him into the duty room, asked Zhou Fang to pour tea, and sat down with Zhu Gaoxu. Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile: "The third brother has already taken up the domain, he has a good relationship with you, and often mentions you, if he doesn't leave, this king wants to come with him, but it's a pity." It's a pity ......"

He said this, but it had a deep meaning, in fact, it was to bring the relationship between Hao Fenglou and him closer, Hao Fenglou and King Zhao got along, and Zhu Gaoxu had a harmonious relationship with his third brother. Just as a friend's friend is also a good friend.

Hao Fenglou pursed his lips and smiled: "Actually, it's not a bad thing to be like King Zhao, Your Highness." Let's open the skylight and say something bright, Your Highness has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, there must be some purpose. ”

Hao Fenglou's words were a little bit raw. Zhu Gaoxu didn't care, people are like this, what he can't get is what he wants most, the more Hao Fenglou said with alienation, the more he felt that Hao Fenglou was unfathomable, so he said: "Actually, this king is here to thank Hao Qianhu this time." If it weren't for the way you came up with this time, I'm afraid that this king would have to settle down. ”

Hao Fenglou sighed and said, "But His Highness should also understand that once he gets to this point, His Highness can't turn back." ”

Zhu Gaoxu nodded, of course he knew what Hao Fenglou meant, he had already made his position clear, and he had completely challenged the prince, from now on, the brothers were incompatible, if they could not replace the prince's position, they would be liquidated sooner or later in the future.

He said with a straight face: "This king doesn't have to compete for the big treasure, but he can't swallow this breath." What is the ability of the prince, why was the king born and died when he was martyred, but he will bow down to him in the future? My father is not the eldest son, and now I still reign in the world, although I am not as good as my father, but I also have my father's ambitions. ”

If this is said to others, it may make people's blood gush, but this kind of words have no effect on Hao Fenglou, he just nodded calmly and said: "Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and bias towards the tigers, His Highness really makes His Majesty admire." ”

Zhu Gaoxu hesitated for a moment before he said: "But at the moment, this king is only staying in Beijing temporarily, and the queen mother is already asking where the king wants to change the domain, although it is an expedient measure at the moment, but once the domain is changed, sooner or later it will still be a domain, hey, the queen mother is urging urgently, and this king is now in a dilemma." ”

Hao Fenglou smiled slightly: "Actually, it's easy, as long as Your Highness insists on sealing Beiping." ”

Zhu Gaoxu was stunned for a moment, and Beiping ......

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate, my father has changed Beiping to Shuntianfu and placed it in Beijing, and it is a military powerhouse, if it is a domain, it is sitting on 100,000 military horses, plus the guards, it is 150,000 people, not to mention the prince, even my father is afraid that he will not agree."

Hao Fenglou said with a smile: "This is called asking for a lot of money to pay back, anyway, His Royal Highness said that he was used to Beiping, and wanted to stay there, soft grinding and hard entanglement, even if His Majesty Xià and Queen Xu refused, but they had to think about His Highness's domain, so as to appease you, in this way, without a few years of hard work, where can things be done?" And His Royal Highness has been in Beijing for the past few years, just waiting for the opportunity to move. As for whether the crown prince will give His Royal Highness a chance, this is another matter. When His Majesty was impatient, His Royal Highness bargained again, and said that he hoped to change the title of Shandong. ”

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes lit up, and he said: "Hao Qianhu is right, it's a good idea to ask for a price all over the sky and pay back on the ground." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said a few more words to Hao Fenglou, and then said goodbye, when he left, he glanced at Hao Fenglou deeply, grabbed Hao Fenglou's hand and said: "Hao Qianhu, this king is not talented, and his talent is dull......"

He wanted to take the opportunity to solicit, but Hao Fenglou hurriedly withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "Your Highness is very smart, and you are used to being humble and casual, it is okay to give your Highness ideas, and the others are really weak, and I hope Your Highness will understand." ”

Zhu Gaoxu smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "That's fine, you don't have to send it off, this king is gone." ”

Seeing Zhu Gaoxu away, Hao Fenglou exhaled, went back to the room and continued to drink tea.

For several days in a row, Hao Fenglou put his energy in the thousands of households, but during this period he sent a few drawings to Shenwuwei, one of which was a drawing about the bellows, at this time it was the Ming Dynasty, the bellows had appeared, but because of the simple structure, it was much worse than the modern bellows, Hao Fenglou had lived in the countryside for a few years in his previous life, at that time the countryside was still popular in the direction of the wind to make fire, and he had some understanding of the structure, and roughly drew a sketch, so that the carpenters could optimize and improve according to this sketch, and the pig iron was well exercised, in a certain way, depending on the temperature, the usual furnace fire is only ** Baidu, 1,02 degrees is the limit, but this temperature can not dissolve the iron stone into molten iron, which makes the smelted iron mixed with a large number of impurities, if you can improve the air box and improve the iron furnace method to increase the temperature, Hao Fenglou believes that it can produce more high-quality pig iron.

Therefore, Hao Fenglou sent a draft of the bellows, but also sent a sketch of the blast furnace that he pondered, which was actually improved according to the brick kiln combined with the blast furnace in later generations.

A few days later, when Hao Fenglou had nothing to do in Qianhu, at this time, a eunuch Pegasus came, and someone had already come to announce: "A will has arrived." ”

So the Qianhu Office was suddenly busy, everyone hurriedly went to move the confession, burned incense, Hao Fenglou took the people in the office to bow down in front of the case, and said in unison: "Weichen takes the will." ”

This eunuch's complexion is extremely well maintained, his skin is fair, and he said with a smile: "Hao Qianhu, you are polite, you are on official business, so our family will not nag too much, listen to the will." Immediately, he put on a serious appearance, like King's Landing, coughed twice according to the rules, and carefully held out the holy decree.

opened the holy decree, and the father-in-law's eyes fell on the holy decree, and the majesty that he had put on suddenly disappeared. Then the father-in-law was petrified in an instant, and he stayed in place in a daze, unable to move.

The eyes, in particular, were full of horror, as if they had seen a ghost, and their pupils were deep, contracting, contracting, and contracting......

Everyone waited for the will, and knelt so that their feet were numb, but the eunuch was struggling, and he didn't hear a sound for a long time. So everyone raised their heads in confusion and looked at the eunuch in bewilderment.

Hao Fenglou was also impatient, and couldn't help but say in his heart: "Brother, don't waste your expression, you should read it quickly." ”

"Ahem......" The eunuch coughed again, this time not deliberately trying to put on a show, but the kind of cough with internal injuries, as if he wanted to cough out his heart and lungs.

In the end, the father-in-law gritted his teeth as if he closed his eyes and let others 'spoil him', and said with a complicated expression: "Ninety-nine-six-three, three-four-seven-five, one-two-nine-nine-four, three-three-five-seven, six-nine-four-one......"

A long list of numbers gushes endlessly, hundreds of them.

Reading and reading, the father-in-law's tears fell, he had been a eunuch for so long, and he had never seen such a strange thing, he wondered if he had taken the wrong holy decree, or if his profession had regressed, his eyes were spent, and his brain was confused.

But as far as the eye can see, these numbers, everyone is looking forward to reading them out, the arrow is on the string, if you don't read it, you can't do it, so he continued to pretend to be very majestic, put on a sacred and inviolable tone of the Son of Heaven, and continued to read: "Six, five, seven, four, one, one hundred and twenty-nine, six ** four ......"

Everyone was stunned, some people shook their heads desperately, feeling that they were dreaming, some people couldn't listen to it, and almost hit their heads on the ground, with the eunuch's melodious and rhythmic singing, Hao Fenglou's heart burst out with three words: "Grass mud horse!" ”
