Chapter Eighty-Three: Forging Iron Machines Take the lead in striking iron
Li Chengzhou led the Imperial Forest Army through the forest and headed towards Fire Bull City.
I don't know where Li Xiaojiang went to improve with the shadow guard, and the dragon always sees the beginning and the end.
It was not until noon the next day that they arrived at Fire Bull City, and the defenders of the city gate had all been replaced by recruited recruits.
After recognizing the person who came as their own, the defenders let them go.
After entering the city, Meng Biao was not seen, so Li Chengzhou asked the soldiers who passed by: "Where did the captain go?" ”
"He trained in the barracks."
Li Chengzhou led these people through the houses and to the barracks, where he saw the one-armed Meng Biao training these recruits from afar.
The order is forbidden, immovable as a mountain, aggression as fire!
These qualities can already be faintly seen in these recruits.
Meng Biao inadvertently saw Li Chengzhou at a glance, and was very happy, and he was even happier when he saw the tomahawk and Fan Qingyan next to him.
"Qingyan, Tomahawk, you two came just in time, come and train them for me!"
Fan Qingyan's head was big: "I just escaped from Tiemu, and now I've been caught again." ”
Tomahawks are not afraid, he can now command the Royal Forest Army, let alone these recruits.
Tomahawks took over the job with ease.
Meng Biao looked at Fan Qingyan: "You kid, you are cheating and cheating, there is no progress, you have to reflect on it." ”
Fan Qingyan had a bitter face: "I'm really not familiar with the things in this army!" ”
Meng Biao looked at the calm and calm battle axe, and admired in his heart the talent of this barbarian young man, who would soon be able to integrate into the army.
Meng Biao took Li Chengzhou and Fan Qingyan, who had to keep up, to his residence.
"Chengzhou... Your Majesty, I heard that you were injured? ”
Since becoming this emperor, I feel that I have been separated from the people around me, and these two elders have become restrained.
But this is also something that cannot be helped, and then we have to find a way to deal with these estrangements.
Li Chengzhou waved his fist: "It's not a big deal, it's almost good." ”
"I heard that you were protected by the shadow guards that night? Protected like this? ”
Li Chengzhou could see that Meng Biao's face was obviously much colder.
"General Meng, don't talk about them anymore, Li Xiaojiang has already said them, and they have done their best."
"What I'm going to say is that this Li Xiaojiang, if he has a little ability, he will float up...."
"When I see him later, I'll have to ask him what's going on!"
After all, it was brought out by Meng Biao, and he knew best what state Li Xiaojiang was.
Li Chengzhou hurriedly changed the topic: "General Meng, I came here this time mainly to forge iron tools. ”
Meng Biao shook his head and said some of the same things as Fang Changge, the iron-making technology is not mature, and it is too early to do this now.
Li Chengzhou took out the book he had summoned before from the summoning space and handed it to Meng Biao.
"The method of iron-making is here, and there is also a method of forging steel in the back."
The shock of this book is far greater than the shock of the book appearing out of thin air.
Meng Biao flipped through the book, and it didn't feel like a fake.
"Feasible!"
"Come on, bring those old students, and then bring all the craftsmen."
"It's too small here, let them go to the mine and wait for us."
Li Xiaojiang poked his head out and replied weakly: "Received the general." ”
When Meng Biao saw Li Xiaojiang, he aimed his anger at Li Xiaojiang just now and vented it.
Li Xiaojiang was scolded and shrugged his head, just as he had reprimanded the other shadow guards before.
After venting, Li Xiaojiang asked several Imperial Forest Army to disperse to find the craftsman and Fang Lao's students.
On the way, Li Chengzhou secretly asked Li Xiaojiang.
"Didn't you hit the muzzle of the gun? Why don't you hide? ”
Li Xiaojiang shook his head helplessly: "Your Majesty, just like General Meng knows us, we also know him very well, if he doesn't show up in time to make him angry, his anger will get bigger and bigger!" ”
Li Chengzhou feels that this relationship is very good, understanding each other and moving forward together.
Everyone came to the mining area and looked at this open-pit iron mine, if all of them could be smelted into iron, they would definitely be able to pack hundreds of thousands of troops!
After a while, Fang Lao's students and craftsmen arrived one after another.
"See Your Majesty!"
"Aiqing, please get up!"
After the people came, Meng Biao introduced the people to Li Chengzhou.
"This person is temporarily in charge of Fire Bull City, and his name is Chen Jiao."
Li Chengzhou nodded and smiled, and handed him the book in his hand.
Chen Jiao took the book and watched it carefully, at first he was only superficially respectful, thinking that the emperor's level was not very high, but as he flipped through the book, his shock reached an unspeakable level.
When they were in Daqin, these brothers and sisters studied the method of smelting iron.
But none of these methods are mature enough.
Some methods can indeed be mass-produced, but the quality is far inferior to that of bronze.
Some methods can indeed forge extremely high-quality iron, but they are time-consuming and laborious, and even a few pieces cannot be forged in a year.
But this method in the book can be used to forge iron tools in batches, and it can be completely equipped with the army.
Chen Jiao passed the book to the senior brothers next to him, and they began to study it on the spot, and Li Chengzhou saw from them the words "apply what you have learned".
Apply what you have learned all your life to the right thing, not only will you be able to tell the big truth, but also practice, not only macro management, but also do small things.
This is a handsome talent! You can do anything.
After they finished reading it, they passed it on to the craftsmen behind them, and several craftsmen nodded as they watched.
Li Chengzhou was still quite apprehensive, he was worried that the ironmaking would fail due to various reasons, but now that he saw that these people were nodding, he also put down his hanging heart.
One of the craftsmen said, "Although it looks very simple, it will take a while to experiment if you really want to do it as easy as the book says." ”
Li Chengzhou can understand: "How many craftsmen are there in the city, and how many craftsmen can be left to do this?" ”
"You are Fang Lao's students, and Fang Lao trusts you very much, saying that you can take on this responsibility."
But they just looked at each other, but no one dared to take the initiative to take the job.
Li Chengzhou saw their concerns.
"You don't have to have any worries, do it boldly, I won't be guilty of many failures or anything. I've worked under craftsmen for a while, and I can still understand everyone. ”
"That's it, I'll strike iron with you, but my theoretical level and practical ability are not good, and I still need you to come out and help us personally."
The emperor said so, and someone stood up: "Your Majesty, Minister Han Jian, is willing to share your Majesty's worries." ”
Chen Jiao also spoke: "There are fifteen craftsmen in Fire Bull City, and there can be three people in the spare space. After the ministers screened out the personnel, they brought them over. ”
Li Chengzhou nodded: "Very good, I still have to trouble you to build an iron-making boiler and other buildings here according to the book." ”
"Your Majesty's words are serious, and the ministers will not disgrace their mission!"
