Two days and one night.

For two days and one night, Li Kui and Zhang Dian were consumed in the Dushitang.

Of course, it was Zhang Dian who lost in the end, compared to physical strength, who was Li Kui afraid of?

But in fact, Li Kui was also tired enough. It's not that it's physically and energetically tired, it's mentally tired. Zhang Kui didn't understand whether what Li Kui wrote was true or false, he also had his own wisdom, so through Li Kui's expression, eyes, and suspicion of Li Kui, he then denied Li Kui's written excerpts and asked him to rewrite them.

Li Kui couldn't refute it yet, and the result of the rebuttal was that Zhang Dian stared at the beads of his eyes and asked Li Kui unceremoniously: "Are you still lying to the old man?" ”

Li Kui also knew that he was at a loss, so he had no choice but to continue tossing.

However, through this kind of suppressed whipping, he miraculously remembered a lot of steel-making methods, and even made a design plan for a small blast furnace.

Without guaranteeing whether steel can be produced, it is really hard to imagine what Li Kui has experienced in the past two days and one night.

"Can it really be done?"

"Just try it. It doesn't matter if you fail, the most important thing is that by failing, we take a big step towards success. ”

Li Kui looked weakly at Zhang Dan, whose eyelids were about to droop into a line, and his head was also groggy, and he dozed off. Even so, he did not forget to encourage Zhang Dan. I'm afraid that something is wrong with this old man, so I will continue to spend time with him.

Zhang Dian waved his hand weakly and said to Li Kui: "Go back!" ”

Li Kui rode a horse when he came, and walked in a car when he returned. The car is a luxury car of the dog Suofeng, the place in the compartment is very large, the cushions are soft and warm, especially the strong agarwood fragrance, as if to cover the cover, which makes people very suspicious of other uses of Suofeng's car.

Whew-

Whew-

"Young Master, I'm home."

When he opened the carriage, Ruan Xiaoer found that Li Kui was leaning on the cushions in the carriage, falling asleep, and he was about to come down. Ruan Xiaoer had no choice but to take Li Kui's arm and carry the person into the courtyard. After all, Li Kui was young, and after sleeping in the car for about a moment, the whole person suddenly woke up, and after breaking free from Ruan Xiaoer: "I'll go by myself." ”

"Young master, are you pretending?" Ruan Xiaoer also thought that Li Kui had used a trick and deliberately showed weakness.

Li Kui said angrily: "No, I'm tired." Then thinking of the stubborn appearance of the old man, he laughed: "Zhang Tang must be more uncomfortable than me." ”

This scene made many people who were waiting to see the excitement when they saw it, and they couldn't help but gasp, this Li Kui couldn't be angry with Zhang Dian for two days and one night, right?

Look at the tired people, they can't stand up.

And Zhangdu?

The early dynasty missed it, and the emperor sent an enshrinement official to inquire, but Zhang Zhu could only say: "My father didn't get up." ”

After all, he is an old man, and the years are not forgiving.

This slept for a day and a night. When it was time to hold the lamp, Zhang Dian asked his son Zhang Zhu to bring the steelmaking fold written by Li Kui, and looked at it by the light. From coal washing, to coking, then to screening ore, crushing the ore, and finally putting it into a small blast furnace. As for some basic refractory bricks and the like, Li Kui didn't write at all.

After all, the Great Song Dynasty was already able to make iron on a large scale, and if there were no refractory bricks, how could it be possible to build an iron-making furnace?

As for whether the refractory bricks are qualified and whether they can meet the needs of steelmaking, this is not something that Li Kui should consider.

Zhang Dian looked at Li Kui's strip and seemed to be a little interesting. But he is very skeptical, such a way can be made of steel? Steel is a more expensive commodity than fine iron, and if it can be done so easily, wouldn't it mean that the weapons of the Great Song Dynasty army can be upgraded by several steps?

Believe it or not, but when he looked up at the oil lamp, he hesitated.

The Zhang family has money, and it is not short of the money of the lamp. In the past, all candles were used, or spiced candles, which smelled fragrant and bright, and there was not much smoke.

But since kerosene was used as a very commonly used lighting item in Bianliang, Tokyo, the Zhang family also began to use it.

The price is not expensive, but the fire can be adjusted, unlike a candle, how big the wick is, how big the flame is. Kerosene can increase the height of the flame by elongating the wick, which can make the light brighter.

"Zhu'er, why did you say that before Li Kui, no one thought that black oil could be refined into kerosene, and it was so convenient to use?"

Zhang Xuan's abrupt question made Zhang Zhu speechless. Li Kui is a good hand at making money, from snowflake salt to kerosene, it is his means to make money. But if you want to be reasonable, where does he know the truth? If he had known the mystery, wouldn't he have made a million?

As for the Tang Dynasty court technology?

The chapter gave the first unbelieved. Even he thinks it's a disguise, which shows how low the credibility is, right? If the Tang Dynasty really has the technology, even if it is in the court, but the historical materials in the Zhaowen Pavilion do not have any records, it is a huge doubt. Moreover, the weapons of the Tang Dynasty were expensive to die, and even some weapons were so expensive that even the burial of the owner was not allowed. It can be seen that the steel of the Tang Dynasty is definitely not easy to obtain.

Zhang Zhu said respectfully: "Father, are you still puzzled by Li Kui's rules? ”

"It's not incomprehensible, it's worrying."

"Worried?"

Zhang Zhu hesitated: "Father is afraid that Li Kui's method can be popular? ”

"So you say? I'd rather Li Kui fool the old man than force him casually, and he can squeeze out some surprising skills, which makes the old man very incompetent. At the same time, this will make the old man unable to see Li Kui's depth, this kid is already slippery, and if he is not careful, he may lose control. Zhang Dian sighed, no big guy would like his subordinates who will get out of control anytime and anywhere, even if this subordinate has indeed made countless meritorious contributions.

This topic can't be answered by Zhang Zhu. I had to be silent and not speak.

Fortunately, Zhang Dian was just emotional, and then asked his son Zhang Zhi to call someone: "Call the iron supervisor Zheng Zheng Qi to the old man." ”

In less than half an hour, just as Zhang Dian was eating pickles with millet porridge, the iron supervisor Zheng Qi came to the prime minister's mansion in a panic. Although he was also an official of Zhengsipin, he was in charge of the iron mines and iron-making workshops of the Great Song Dynasty. But in fact, he had not been summoned by Zhang Dian alone, and he was not allowed to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion coldly, and he couldn't help but tremble, and thought that something had gone wrong with the iron prison, which attracted Zhang Xiang's attention.

"Look! Any ideas? ”

Zheng Qi took a book of folds from Zhang Zhu's hand and looked at it carefully. After opening a glance, he frowned, cautiously raised his eyes to look at Zhang Dian, and said in his heart: "The charcoal is originally black, and it still needs to be washed?" How to wash? How clean is it? ”

It's a pity that in the face of Zhang Dun, who was so strong in the front court that he didn't dare to pant loudly, Zheng Qi swallowed this question alive.

When I finished reading it all, it was still in the clouds.

As an iron supervisor, Zheng Qi will inevitably deal with the iron workshop to a greater or lesser extent. I know a little bit about the ironmaking process, and the fold in my hand seems to be the same thing at first glance, but when I taste it carefully, I find that I have subverted my common sense.

This is called tangled in my heart!

But at this moment, Zhang Diandi's eyes drifted to the top of his head, and he asked lightly, "Is there a problem?" ”

Zheng Qi wanted to ask Zhang Duan respectfully: "Should there be a problem, or should there be no problem?" But he didn't dare, don't look at the iron eunuch is also a civil official, but if he really wants to treat himself as a green onion, it will not be far from the end.

"What about you?" Seeing that Zheng Qi didn't speak, Zhang Dian said impatiently.

Zheng Qi shuddered suddenly, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Qi Xiangye, the lower officials must do it according to Xiangye's intentions." ”

Zhang Dian was suspicious, could it be that what Li Kui said was true?

He didn't care, and said coldly: "Go down!" ”

Zheng Qi sighed and left the Prime Minister's Mansion, and before leaving, he saw Zhang Zhu, who had just returned from his errands, and hurriedly bowed down to ask for advice: "Third Prince, the lower official just got a copy of the excerpt from the prime minister, you help to refer to the details, what should the lower official do?" ”

Zhang Zhu glanced at it and knew that it was written by Li Kui, and said casually: "Go to the Taishi Mansion and ask Li Kui." ”

From the Prime Minister's Mansion, a rod stabbed to the Taishi's Mansion.

Zheng Qi felt that his career was really too difficult, and he had already mixed up to the point of being an iron prison, so wouldn't he let him go? Don't look at the iron supervisor, he is also the master of the first prison, and he is a high-ranking official of the fourth grade.

But can the four products be the same as the four products?

For example, in the matter, the middle scholar and the secretary are all high-ranking officials. The difference between these official positions and the iron supervisor is as great as the gap between the secretary of the province and the envoy of the Taimiao Zhaigong.

The former was a minister in front of the emperor, with a great future, and even had the opportunity to slander. The latter is the administrator of the Taimiao, and his main responsibility is that the emperor came to take care of the meal, and the emperor walked to see the gate......

Zheng Qi also thought that he had offended Zhang Dian, and returned to the yamen with a lot of heart. Then he got into the carriage and went to the ironsmith workshop. There's no way, although Zhang Dian doesn't have a date limit, maybe he will ask him about his progress that day?

As for going to the Taishi's Mansion?

Don't think about it, when he saw the prime minister's legs and stomach trembling, didn't he tremble when he saw the Taishi?

He didn't dare to go to the Taishi Mansion at all. I thought that I would go to the ironsmith workshop first and ask the steward, if I could do it, I wouldn't have to trouble the old man. In addition, Zheng Qi did not have the confidence to invite Li Kui. He has been an official for 30 years before he became a fourth-grade official. And what about Li Kui? It's only been less than three years, and he is already in Tianzhang Pavilion to be systematized, and he is a fourth-grade official like him, who is he going to reason?

Besides, Li Kui is notoriously difficult to deal with, and his face is in a good mood for others; It's normal for people not to give it.

Handing the excerpt to the steward of the workshop, Zheng Qi sighed and said, "Do you think it can be done?" ”

"Who gave this to the adult, didn't he think so if his head was caught in the door panel?"

The person who spoke was the head of the ironsmith workshop, Master Lu. Relying on the ability of one body, he speaks openly.

On weekdays, he is open-mouthed, and no one takes him seriously, after all, in the ironsmith workshop, no matter how arrogant he is, who can he offend? But the excerpt Zheng Qi brought was not given to him by ordinary people, but Zhang Dian, the prime minister. It doesn't matter if he scolds the prime minister behind his back that his brain is caught in the door panel, but if it reaches Zhang Dan's ears, Master Lu will be unlucky, and Zheng Qi will also be unlucky.

Zheng Qi was so frightened that his lips trembled, he nervously covered Master Lu's mouth, and said in a low voice: "Be quiet, it's the excerpt that Xiangye gave me, if you can't do it, say you can't do it, don't talk nonsense and cause trouble for yourself." ”

Master Lu's unruly face suddenly fell, and he hesitated: "My lord, didn't Zhang Xiang say who offered this method, and who should I ask for?" As far as the little old man is concerned, even if he wants to serve the adults as dogs and horses, he is powerless! ”

"Ahh Is it so hard? ”

Zheng Qi was surprised.

Master Lu gestured: "Adults don't know, the way of technique, once it changes, it will change, and the little old man is shallow, he doesn't understand it at all, and he doesn't know everything." ”

To put it bluntly, I don't understand.

Zheng Qi hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth and said, "You go and prepare first, tomorrow...... Tomorrow, the Japanese official will find you a knowledgeable adult. ”

The next day, Li Kui was invited by Zheng Qi to get into the carriage and came to the ironsmith workshop.

After entering the workshop, Zheng Qi explained to Master Lu: "This is the knowledgeable adult, Master Li. Lao Lu, if you have any questions, ask him. ”

Master Lu hesitated, and then wanted to cry.

Li Kui, he knows! When he first made the bell tower, he knew Li Kui, but Li Kui's iron-making skills were still taught to Li Kui by him!

This level is not as good as him?
