Chapter 145: Iron Smelting

"What?" Ying Zheng wondered.

"It is the people of the Gong Loser and the Mo Family, who have trained qualified iron tools according to the description on the Heavenly Creations." Zhao Qingrui said seriously, these people from the Mo family and the public losers are indeed very reliable, so she is simply satisfied.

"That's a good thing." Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, the weapons used by Daqin were more bronze, and the refining technology of bronze was mature, while the use of iron was relatively rare, and the difficulty of refining was higher.

The iron of Daqin is basically used for refining agricultural tools, and compared with agricultural tools, weapons have higher requirements for smelting technology.

Of course, Great Qin is not without iron weapons, and most of the arrows used by the Qin army are iron, otherwise how could it be possible to unify the Six Kingdoms with only bronze.

After hundreds of years of development, the iron smelting on Tiangong Kaiwu is more sophisticated than the current technology of Daqin.

The technology on this is simply a treasure for the people of the two families.

"It's really a good thing, but Daqin's existing iron ore reserves are not much, and I need to send someone to find it, and I want them to give me more of what I want." Zhao Qingrui chuckled and said, the people of these two families are indeed very powerful, and this technology is enough for the time being.

"This is simple, the widow issued an edict to go down, let the counties send people to look for it, and report it immediately if they find it." Ying Zheng said excitedly, at least Zhao Qingrui's iron tools here are very useful, and he is also looking forward to these things being created and used in large quantities in Daqin.

I don't know what kind of weapons these iron weapons should be, but they must be more powerful than the existing iron tools.

The emergence of this technology has undoubtedly made him more confident in preparing to expand outward.

When the time comes, all the weapons of the soldiers in the Qin army will be replaced with iron weapons, so who can stop his expansion?

"Father, what are your plans for this?" Zhao Qingrui looked at her father, iron is a strategic resource, she knows how to make iron, and even the technology is stronger than that of Tiangong, but it is not suitable for the current Great Qin.

These iron tools, Dad will definitely not let Qianshou use them wantonly, otherwise they will be obtained by people with a heart, such as those remnants of the Six Kingdoms, and even have a forging method, which is also a great threat to Daqin.

Therefore, most of these iron tools will be used in the army.

Unless the Mo family and the public losers come up with cross-era weapons such as firearms, these iron weapons cannot be replaced for the time being.

"Let's see what kind of iron they can forge first, if it is stronger than the iron used in the army, it will not be too late for the widow to order a large number of forging." Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and said, the existing iron ore reserves are not much, and he naturally has a number of such important things in his heart.

"It's still my father's thoughtfulness." Zhao Qingrui nodded, having no opinion on her father's arrangement.

However, when it comes to ironmaking, these are another large expense.

Suddenly, I felt that the money I had collected before was not enough.

The father and daughter chatted for a while, and when the sun went down, Zhao Qingrui was ready to go back.

Before leaving, Zhao Qingrui didn't forget to care about her father's weight loss, There were a lot of things in the court during this time, and her father stayed in this Shanglin Yuan Palace all day, and she didn't have much time to come and see him.

"Honestly, I'm going to hear the truth." Zhao Qingrui looked at Zhao Gao lightly.

Zhao Gao listened to Zhao Qingrui's voice, his body trembled, and he quietly looked at His Majesty.

"What are you doing? Qingrui asked you to say it, just say it, haven't I decreased? Ying Zheng glared at Zhao Gao, this eyeless thing.

Zhao Qingrui looked at her father with a smile, she knew that her father was not so honest, "Say." ”

"Back to Your Highness, Your Majesty has almost completed it in accordance with His Highness's plan these days." Zhao Gao said respectfully.

"What hasn't been done?" Zhao Qingrui hooked her lips, her father has lost a lot of weight now, but if she doesn't come according to her requirements, she will still be punished, who told him to throw all the work to her, that's how he holds a grudge!!

"Yesterday, His Majesty ordered three greasy dishes, which I ate with General Wang Ben, and I ran two laps less last night, the day before yesterday." I have to say that Zhao Gaoneng has served in front of the First Emperor for so many years, and he has won his trust, so his memory is quite good.

Listening to Zhao Gao counting the projects that his father didn't complete, and secretly eating those greasy things while he wasn't here, the corners of Zhao Qingrui's mouth twitched, okay, there are so many.

"Father, if you do something wrong, you will be punished, Zhao Fu order, pass the order to Shang Shi, my father will be vegetarian for the next two days, and, General Wang, please supervise my father, let him complete the weight loss plan I gave him in the next few days, and make up for the unfinished ones by the way."

Zhao Qingrui coldly gave two orders, which directly made Ying Zheng's face collapse, her daughter wanted to toss him to death, he was so old, he still had to bear so much, it was too miserable.

"The minister commands." Wang Ben also saw His Majesty's weight loss plan, and said respectfully.

Zhao Gao also hurriedly took the order and went towards Shangshi, and he didn't have any opinion if he didn't see His Majesty.

Lose weight on a hot day, Yingzheng has no energy, he has no conscience, he loves her so much in vain, and that's how he repays her!!

"Father, the son has retired, General Wang remembers to supervise his father." With a wave of his hand, Zhao Qingrui left Shanglin Yuan with Wang Xian.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, she is gone, and it is time for you to carry out today's weight loss plan." Wang Ben looked at Ying Zheng and began to execute Zhao Qingrui's order one by one.

Ying Zheng: It's the other way around, everyone is in charge of him!!

Just arranged a bunch of things for Meng Yi, so that he didn't have time to supervise himself, and now there is another Wang Ben, the girl can't see him and live a little more comfortable, right?

Facing His Majesty's resentful gaze, Wang Ben coughed dryly, silently moved his face away, and pretended not to see it.

Usually at this time, His Majesty is also losing weight.

After Ying Zheng finished today's weight loss plan and took a bath, he saw the food in front of him, and the leaves were simply greener than his face.

"Zhao Gao, that's all?" Ying Zheng doesn't really want to eat, he wants to eat meat.

"Your Majesty, these are all requested by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and you insist on it for two days." Zhao Gao cautiously comforted, he had already seen that this matter could not be wrong with listening to the little princess.

Ying Zheng didn't want to speak, and continued to stare at Zhao Gao faintly.

"Your Majesty, Princess Qingrui asked someone to send cold drinks to relieve Your Majesty's heat." The palace maid hurriedly walked in with a food box.

"Take it out and try it." Ying Zheng's eyes lit up, and the cold drinks made by his daughter were particularly delicious, and he liked them very much.

The little palace maid was embarrassed, "Back to Your Majesty, Your Highness has a saying that Your Majesty can only use cold drinks after eating." ”
