Chapter 154: Iron Smelting

Li Zhong told Li Er his opinion.

Li Er obviously didn't expect to let him be the other party, this is Li Tai's real intention.

So......

Li Er was a good emperor, but not a good father.

"And what do you say?"

Li Er asked again.

"What else can I do, you can tell him directly that my father loves you. But this kind of love is not to chat with you every day, say that you are so good every day, praise you every day for your handwriting, and your writing is so good. Let him do more things that contribute to Datang, instead of being pointless and cute here. If you want to be, you should be a person who has contributed to Datang!"

Li Chong's words were very direct.

In fact......

This is back to the treatment of these adult princes and kings.

But this time......

Li Zhong gave a standard answer.

That's right!

That is, let them all contribute.

As for how this contribution came about?

Of course, they can only go to various states to work for the welfare of the people.

Of course!

You can also choose to eat and wait for death.

And those who went to the states, but did not get things done.

even made a mess of the states, and for this part of the people, Li Chong can only say that they should be severely punished.

Later......

Just give him a subsistence allowance and let him live the rest of his life in mediocrity.

Otherwise......

The appearance of these people will only shake the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Let the people lose confidence in Datang.

Li Er originally wanted Li Chong to talk about the way to deal with the family.

The result is good!

It's time to deal with the royal family.

Of course!

The same is true of the Maison.

If the family commits a crime, it must be punished severely, but relatively speaking.

The family will educate their children well.

So......

It's not that easy for you to catch.

As for the imperial examination or something.

Li thought about it again, but forgot it.

Now the Tang Dynasty is in a period of expansion, what is needed is people who can be literate and martial, once the influence of the imperial examination increases, they all go to study, just like the future generations, the physical education class is gone, what hope does the young people of the Tang Dynasty have, this must not let the reuse of Hu people happen in advance?

So......

Sometimes it's not like the Maison doesn't have the benefits of the Maison.

The advantage of the family is that only they can use the power of the family to cultivate people who can be civil and martial.

Like Li Jing, is a good example.

In fact, Li Jing can be regarded as a family.

Of course!

Li Chong is not saying that the family is good.

But......

Everything has to be in tune with the times.

Datang is now in full swing of martial virtues, and martial arts are prevalent, so there is no need to forcibly put a weak aura on himself from the weak Song Dynasty.

……

Listened to Li Chong's words.

Afterwards......

Li Er thought about it for a few more days.

Then he made his brother and his son governors.

Of course!

With Li Tai, Li Er also said according to Li Chong.

In fact, now that I think about it, Qingque is really useless except for a little better writing.

I said before that I was going to go to the Wa Kingdom, but I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to go.

Now......

In order to attract the attention of his father, he deliberately did such a thing. ….

This made Li Er feel that the other party just didn't grow up.

On the contrary, it is the crown prince......

Come to think of this!

It seems that I haven't cared about the prince for a long time.

Then Li Er took another time and took the eldest grandson queen to see the crown prince together.

It's a surprise check.

Check it out.

The prince is very good!

The crown princess is now seven months old.

And......

When the two went to the East Palace, the prince was accompanying the princess to study.

Husband and wife love.

In contrast, it is really a superior opinion.

Li Er also specially asked the prince if he missed him, his father.

I saw that Li Chengqian was stunned, and thought that his father was going to blame him for not going to see the other party recently, and immediately said that he wanted to, but he was worried about disturbing his father.

This look is an excuse.

Li Er's heart is clear.

Although the prince did not pretend to be himself in his heart, at least he did not quarrel or make trouble, and he could complete the task of supervising the country assigned to him, which already made Li Er feel very satisfied.

After finishing speaking, after the emperor and grandson are born, they must make a big show in the palace, and then, the eldest grandson queen chatted with the crown princess a few more words before leaving.

And Li Chong's side......

I also took a break and took Li Lizhi to visit some iron smelting points in Datang.

Indeed, there is a blast furnace.

Merely......

It is certainly not the same concept as the tens of meters high in later generations.

Under the guidance of Ariji, while visiting, I asked the craftsmen about the difficulties and difficulties in making iron.

For example, this blast.

After Li Chong's visit, he found that there were both water-powered, animal-powered, and even manpower.

Generally, a group of twelve people is divided into three groups a day, that is, thirty-six people.

However, this manpower is really in poor condition.

And the yield is relatively low compared to others.

Most of what Li Chong saw was the use of water and animal power.

Li Chong asked the craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences who came with him to see if they could give them manpower, animal power, and a steam blower.

As for hydraulics......

There is no need to make any improvements.

At the same time, I also exchanged some experience in ironmaking.

For example, how to get a good furnace of molten iron.

Usually, the craftsmen would tell Li Chong where to take the wood and what kind of iron ore to take from the mountains, because the charcoal made of wood in these places is of good quality with the iron ore dug out, so the molten iron smelted is good.

All I can say is......

They can't say it's wrong.

But!

None of your words are universal.

When you say this, you mean that you alone can make good iron?

Li Chongshang didn't immediately teach them how to do it.

It's about learning all their skills first.

Since the materials are chosen here, there is nothing to learn from, so let's see how the stove is built and how the materials are put in.

Li Chong originally wanted Li Lizhen to take notes.

But after thinking about it, forget it!

Let the literate craftsmen of the Academy of Sciences come.

Once you've learned all these things, ......

Li Chong is about to start doing it himself.

I built my own blast furnace, tried to make coking by myself, and finally smelted the molten iron by myself.

It probably took about two or three months.

The molten iron has finally been refined.

Looking at the quality of the iron smelted, it feels no worse than that made with charcoal.

called the experts who knew how to smelt, didn't tell them how they made it, and then let them see the quality of the molten iron and the iron, they could only say that these people seemed

I don't see any clues.

Li Chong felt that this felt okay.

All that's left is to go home and write your dissertation while continuing with the second experiment.
