In Zhu Gaosui's eyes, nothing can be compared with himself, the court, and his father's Northern Expedition, he stared at Wang Siqi with a suspicious face, the displeasure in his eyes seemed to be about to overflow, and finally said after a while: "If it is my father's will, I will naturally not embarrass you, but if not, then you are finished!" ”

"Naturally, the lower officials don't dare to falsely pass on the holy message."

"I hope so!"

In Wang Siqi, I didn't ask clearly, but who is Zhu Gaosui... From Wang Siqi's mouth, after knowing that this craftsman from the Ministry of Industry to the Baoyuan Bureau was probably mostly the emperor's intention.

He understood that he was being used by Wu Zhong.

A member of the first product in the court, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.. Sometimes he has to go off the rails, and even Wang Siqi had to look at the other party's back after Zhu Gaosui left, sighed and said: "This time, the Ministry of Industry is completely messed up." ”

The second and third have very similar personalities, otherwise they would not have come to power and become the emperor together with the second child in the near future.

Wang Yihuan was puzzled: "Lord Wang.. Now that our craftsmen have almost recruited enough, do we have to stop for a while? If the workshop of the Ministry of Industry really delayed the construction of ordnance due to lack of manpower, it would not be good for the emperor to blame..."

Wang Siqi waved his hand.

The heritage of the Ming Dynasty is definitely not comparable to these 100 craftsmen, and the resources controlled by the Ministry of Industry are definitely not in trouble because of the lack of more than 100 craftsmen.

...

Wang Siqi knows better than anyone that behind Zhu Gaosui's visit today is not only Wu Zhong's dissatisfaction with his behavior, but also a temptation for Wang Siqi.

I don't know where it is, maybe Wu Zhong has already hidden.

Waiting for Wang Siqi to pick up.

It's just that what Wu Zhong doesn't know is that his round of temptation can't be said to be useless, it can only be said that it is useless.

What to do, Wang Siqi knows better than anyone.

So he convened the officials of the Baoyuan Bureau to discuss the matter.

"Have all the craftsmen been placed?"

"Lord Hui, there has been an endless stream of craftsmen from the Baoyuan Bureau these days, but we only recruit craftsmen who know how to smelt iron or similar work, so we have screened out a lot."

"The craftsmen who have successfully entered our Baoyuan Bureau have all been arranged. According to your meaning, the silver of the An family has also been sent to the craftsmen, and they can come to the Baoyuan Bureau to work at any time. ”

Hearing Feng Zongwu's answer, Wang Siqi nodded with satisfaction and said, "If our Baoyuan Bureau wants to do the iron furnace thing, we must refine the first iron furnace belonging to our Baoyuan Bureau as quickly as possible." ”

"Otherwise, if we rely on the way of the imperial court to buy formed iron ingots from all over the country, we can't afford this capital just by traveling to the capital!"

Listening to Wang Siqi's words, the officials of the Baoyuan Bureau present nodded one after another.

Since Zhu Di's intentions handed over the Baoyuan Bureau to the Baoyuan Bureau, the number of officials within the entire Baoyuan Bureau has also surged.

Many officials who were depressed in the court came to the Baoyuan Bureau one after another.

After all, if the DPRK and the Central Committee are unwilling, it is better to come to the Baoyuan Bureau to be a small official, after all, who does not know that the treatment within the Baoyuan Bureau is definitely a top one in any place in the DPRK.

Who would hate the fact that they have earned too much money?

As he spoke, Wang Siqi took out the blast furnace drawings he had prepared from behind him, and motioned to Feng Zongwu on the side to pass them to everyone.

I have to say that in Daming, painting with a brush is really not an easy thing.

A few drawings, Wang Siqi didn't know how many nights.

"This is the blueprint of the iron-making furnace of the Baoyuan Bureau designed by the official, and the official of our iron-making workshop is ready to build it according to this drawing."

But when everyone took the drawings one by one.

But he couldn't help but look embarrassed, but Feng Zongwu couldn't help but speak: "Lord Wang... Why don't you ask a few craftsmen who are familiar with iron smelting to take a look at this drawing, let's... Maybe no one can read this drawing! ”

A slap on the head.

Wang Siqi secretly said in his heart, he actually forgot about this.

Almost all the officials of the Ming Dynasty passed the imperial examination and became officials, even if the Baoyuan Bureau originally belonged to the Ministry of Industry, but in the final analysis, it was only an institution specifically responsible for minting coins for the imperial court, and the officials here were even influenced by more weekdays.

But in the face of such professional knowledge as iron-smelting blast furnace, the result is that the drawings can't say a word, and they can't understand a word.

So Wang Siqi nodded and said, "Then go and invite a few experienced masters." ”

"Xiaguan will go."

After speaking, Feng Zongwu got up and walked out of the conference hall.

Not for a while.

He walked into the council chamber with a few craftsmen who looked a little restrained.

"Lord Wang, this is the craftsman who has just been recruited by our Baoyuan Bureau recently, and they are all experienced in the workshop under the Ministry of Industry to do iron-smelting work."

"Good! Then let these masters sit down first, and take a good look at any flaws in this drawing. ”

The drawings passed from the hands of the officials to the hands of several craftsmen.

Everyone's eyes also gathered on several craftsmen along with the drawings, and after a while, someone finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Ingenious!" What a genius! I don't know who made this drawing, but if this blast furnace can be built according to this drawing, it will not be difficult to make iron! ”

"Yes! The design of the blast furnace can be said to greatly shorten the process of ironmaking, but this refractory brick... I'm afraid it's a bit difficult, to carry the high temperature of molten iron.."

Hearing the words of the craftsmen, all the officials exhaled one after another.

After all, no one knows whether the drawings drawn by Wang Siqi himself are useful or not, and if Wang Siqi insists on going his own way, it is easy to mess things up.

At this moment, hearing the words of praise from the craftsmen, they all understood the meaning of the words.

That is, this drawing, it works, this blast furnace, good.

And Wang Siqi explained with a smile: "The matter of refractory bricks does not have to worry about a few masters, there will naturally be a way to do it, please come and have a look today.. It is the official who wants to know how long it will be possible to put into operation if a new ironmaking workshop is built according to this blast furnace, and how many iron ingots can be produced per day. ”

Several craftsmen glanced at each other.

The craftsman at the head is obviously a little older, and there is no doubt that he has the best iron-smelting skills among the several people. I saw that he didn't hesitate to stand up and say: "My lord, if the refractory bricks can be solved, then according to the drawings given by the adults, it will only take half a month for the workshop to be put into production, and not only that..."

"It's a waste to build a workshop for the purpose of building a tin furnace... I'm afraid that by then, less than ten blast furnaces will be built, and what adults should be worried about is how to say that these iron ingots have become iron furnaces! ”

"Nissan, at least 100,000 catties!"
