Soon, another week passed.

On this day, Qiangzi came to Hu's teahouse early and waited for a new issue of the newspaper.

This week, Hadron and others are simply looking forward to it.

He can't wait to know the news of the new issue!

Finally, a storyteller came up on the stage.

Pulling out the newspaper, the storyteller cleared his throat and began to speak.

This time, the news is still wonderful.

Qiangzi couldn't take his eyes off it, and even forgot to drink the tea.

However, after reading those anecdotes, the storyteller told another story that happened in Yingtiancheng: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is said that Hu Shilang of the Ministry of Industry has recently improved the method of iron smelting. ”

When Qiangzi heard this, he suddenly came to his senses.

Not to mention anything else, when it comes to iron smelting, he is very energetic.

After all, he was a blacksmith himself.

Eating this bowl of rice, it is natural to pay more attention to the market of this industry.

Seeing that everyone's appetite was aroused, the storyteller also continued with a smile: "That Hu Shilang, it's really amazing. ”

"It turns out that the iron-smelting workshop of this Ministry of Industry can only produce 1,000 catties of pig iron a day."

"But after Hu Shilang's improvement, the daily iron smelting volume of the Ministry of Industry workshop can reach 5,000 catties!"

Before everyone could react, Hadron grew his mouth in surprise.

This...... It's incredible, isn't it?

As a blacksmith, he knows more than ordinary people the twists and turns of iron smelting.

Produce 5,000 pounds of pig iron a day?

He never dreamed of it!

At that moment, Qiangzi couldn't help but question: "Could this Hu Shilang be expanding the scale of the Ministry of Industry's ironmaking workshop?" ”

"How is it possible to casually increase the efficiency of iron smelting by 5 times?"

"I've been fighting iron for most of my life, and I've never seen anything so outrageous!"

When everyone in the audience heard this, they also questioned one after another.

"This big brother, you shouldn't have lost your eyes, right? I advise you to take another look, in case you read the wrong newspaper and make a fuss, it will not be beautiful. ”

"Smelting 5,000 catties of pig iron a day? It's absolutely impossible! Unless I see it with my own eyes, I will never believe such an outrageous thing! ”

Seeing that everyone disagreed, the storyteller was also a little flustered.

I can't be real, I'm wrong, right?

The speaker hurriedly took out the newspaper and looked at it carefully.

However, after reading it for a long time, the storyteller still gave an affirmative answer: "Everyone, I'm sure I'm not mistaken. ”

"On this newspaper, it is written that the daily output of molten iron is 5,000 catties!"

"And the newspaper clearly stated that Hu Shilang did not hire any new workers at all."

"He simply relied on improving production technology to increase the output of the Ministry of Industry's iron-smelting workshop by five times!"

At this moment, everyone was in an uproar.

Everyone's eyes widened, barely believing what they were hearing.

Among them, the most shocking were the blacksmiths.

For them, it's definitely an industry earthquake.

You must know that this iron-smelting technology has been passed down for hundreds of years.

In other words, in the past hundred years, this iron-smelting technology has not undergone major changes.

They never expected that this Hu Shilang would casually improve the technology that has been inherited for hundreds of years?

It's simply incredible!

However, more people still have a wait-and-see attitude towards this matter.

It's really a matter that is beyond their knowledge!

It's like a moon landing.

Before humans landed on the moon, everyone couldn't believe that humans could really land on the moon?

To this day, there is still a part of conspiracy theorists who feel that the moon landing was just a lie.

So even though the newspaper has an official background, people still don't believe it.

However, this kind of thing, Hu Changan naturally has already considered it.

The storyteller looked at everyone's surprised expressions, and continued to read the newspaper with a smile: "Then Hu Shilang said that if anyone doesn't believe it, they can go to the workshop of the Ministry of Industry to find out." ”

"This workshop will be open to the public for free for one month."

"As long as you take the household card and go to the Five Cities Terracotta Division for a simple registration, you can go to the Ministry of Industry Iron Smelting Workshop to visit with a ticket."

"Limited to the first 100 people per day, on a first-come, first-served basis."

As soon as Qiangzi heard this, he couldn't listen to the connected storytelling.

Hurriedly got up from his seat, and Qiangzi ran home directly to get the household post.

He must see such a big thing with his own eyes!

Soon, Qiangzi dug out the household post from his home and ran all the way to the Five Cities Terracotta Division.

At this time, there was already a long queue at the gate of the Yamen of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

As soon as the strong son inquired, he was happy.

It turned out that these people were all people who got the news from the newspaper and wanted to go to the workshop of the Ministry of Industry to find out!

Most of them are blacksmiths like hadrons.

Now that they heard the news that shook the whole industry, it was impossible for them not to come and find out.

Of course, there are also a small number of idlers who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement.

Qiangzi asked, and obediently went to the back to line up.

Hadron was in the ranks, waiting and waiting.

However, I can still chat with the people in the queue, and this waiting time will not seem too boring.

Finally, it's the turn of the hadron!

After checking Qiangzi's household post, the staff of the Five Cities Terracotta Division gave Qiangzi a wooden sign.

On this wooden sign, there is a 2 character written on it.

The staff handed the wooden sign to Qiangzi and said, "This is a ticket to the workshop of the Ministry of Works." ”

"When you go to visit, as long as you hand over this wooden sign to the porter of the Ministry of Industry, the porter will arrange someone to take you to visit."

"But this ticket is only valid for one day."

"On your sign, it says 2."

"In other words, the time you can visit is the second day, which is the day after tomorrow."

"It's all you need, you just need to go to the Ministry of Industry before the day after tomorrow."

Hearing this, Qiangzi also nodded, and carefully put away the wooden card.

He can't wait to visit the ironwork workshop of the Ministry of Industry!

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it's the day after tomorrow.

On this day, Qiangzi took the wooden sign and came to the Ministry of Industry in a hurry.

The porter of the Ministry of Industry saw it, and he also greeted a small servant for Qiangzi.

This little guy is the little guy in the Hu family's mansion.

For this visit, Hu Changan specially allocated some of the small servants in the house to act as guides.

Looking at Qiangzi, the little guy smiled: "This big brother, let me take you to visit the workshop of the Ministry of Industry." ”

"Come, please go this way."

Hearing this, Qiangzi also nodded.

As a small blacksmith, it was the first time he had received such preferential treatment.
