Chapter 22 Iron ore smelting

Pei county!

Pavilion chief Liu Bang was thinking about going to Widow Cao's house to spend the night, and suddenly, two black shadows flashed on the road, and Liu Bang, the old rascal's face changed greatly, and then, before he could react, a person flew over from his hands.

And they threw him to the ground!

"You, who are you?"

Liu Bang shouted.

"Do you know who Lao Tzu is? I'm the pavilion chief, and I'm an official of the imperial court! ”

"It's the imperial court that captured you!"

In the air, a cold voice came out, and immediately, a rag was stuffed into Liu Bang's mouth.

At the same time, it is located in the Pei County Office.

The county commander looked at Xiao He and Cao Shen in front of him with a respectful face!

"Xiao He, Cao Shen, the old man has already seen that the two of you, not the things in the pool, will fly sooner or later, sure enough, as the old man expected, the two of you are valued by the nineteenth prince, and I want to edict the two of you to go to Xianyang City to be ......officials."

The county commander said respectfully.

If it was the original, such as Xiao He and Cao Shen.

He wouldn't even glance at it.

But now, the two were requisitioned by Ying Zimo.

This makes the county order, how dare you despise the two?

You must know that the nineteenth prince is now in prison, Xiao He and Cao Shen have climbed to the nineteenth prince, and the future will soar, and the future can be said to be unlimited!

"County Jun, I just don't know, where did the Nineteenth Prince hear about the reputation of the two of us?"

Xiao He and Cao Shen are both officials in Pei County, and the relationship between the two is also good, at this moment, the two glanced at each other and said with some hesitation.

"The two of us are just small officials, where did these nineteen sons hear about the reputation of the two of us?"

"Well, I won't hide it from the two of you, and the official doesn't know very well, but a few of them are on a bad page, right here, you can ask them."

The county commander was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and pointed to the side, wearing a flying fish suit.

"A few errands, this ......"

"We didn't know, when we got to Xianyang, you would know better!"

The two brocade guards who were sitting there replied coldly, and then said again.

"The nineteenth prince is in a hurry to see the two, so let's leave tonight, don't stay!"

"But, it's ...... the Xiaguan family."

Xiao He frowned.

"Go back, we will arrange someone to send him to Xianyang!"

The county magistrate on the side hurriedly said.

While they were doing this, Fan Xu, who was also in Pei County, was also stunned.

"Nineteen sons want to eat my dog meat?"

Fan Hao was a little surprised!

This strong man with a height of one meter and eight or nine meters and a meaty face would never have thought that his reputation as a person who kills dogs and sells meat can reach Xianyang.

"Do you go or not, Fan Xu, this is the nineteenth son, you think about it!"

The little official who followed Jin Yiwei to Fan Xu's house on the side muttered impatiently to Fan Xu.

The latter hurriedly laughed.

"Go, go, see the edict of the nineteenth prince, how dare the villain not go?"

"Hmph, count you as acquaintances!"

The little official laughed.

……

Xianyang City.

At this moment, Ying Changsheng was looking at the small earth blast furnace in front of him.

Right now, I only saw that in this earthen blast furnace, the trickling molten iron, exuding scorching heat, gushed out, looking at Wang Jian on the side, and Fusu, dumbfounded.

"How can this iron be produced so easily?"

"That's not it, it's just this iron, what's the point?"

Ying Changsheng said confidently, and the Mo family craftsman on the side was amazed, muttering around the small earthen blast furnace in front of him.

"If this is so simple, then how can I still use bronze in the future? Just replace all the tools and weapons with iron tools, and that's it! ”

The craftsman said.

He is no ordinary person.

He was born in the Mo family.

In later generations of China, due to the dominance of the Confucian sticks, plus the ancestor of the Mo family, Mozi, and the ancestor of the Confucian sticks, Kong Laoer, there are some mustards, so after the Confucian sticks are dominant.

The Mo family has completely declined.

Eventually, it was gone.

However, the relationship between Daqin and the Mo family is quite good.

The reason is very simple, the craftsmen of the Mo family are valued by Daqin, so there are not a few people from the Mo family in the Qin Kingdom, at this moment, these middle-aged people next to Ying Changsheng are the people of the Mo family, His name is Gong Chuan Shangzao, and he is sighing here right now.

"Yes, with this iron weapon, my Great Qin's national strength will be on a higher level!"

Wang Jian was also emotional.

Huaxia is a copper-poor country.

What's more, the copper ore itself is less than the iron ore.

Mining is also not easy.

The fundamental reason why Great Qin and the Six Kingdoms used bronze at the time of the Warring States Period was.

The level of metal smelting is not up to standard, and only bronze can be used.

At the moment, there is a rapid production of qualified, much better performance than bronze ironware.

Of course, Daqin wants to use iron, not bronze!

"As long as there is enough coal and iron, I Daqin can produce a steady stream of ironware, and at that time, it will not be impossible to give me Daqin's million-strong army, all equipped with iron armor!"

Ying Changsheng smiled and said to Wang Qian.

In an instant, Wang Jian is eyes lit up.

Well, the warriors of Daqin, although they can fight, but their equipment is not too small.

Because the era is here, the cost of the bronze age is too high.

Therefore, the warriors of Great Qin either do not wear armor, or, they just wear a leather armor, and their defensive power is not good at all.

The elite soldiers of the six eastern countries are prepared with iron armor.

But the number is also very small.

And this armor with extremely high defense.

Daqin is also quite envious.

After all, the armor is thicker, the defense is also much improved, and many fewer people can die!

I didn't equip it before, it was a matter of cost, but now I have a lot of cheap ironware, and if I don't change it, it's a problem with my brain!

"What the Nineteenth Prince said is extremely true, with this method of quickly smelting iron ore, it is simply not good for my Great Qin!"

Wang Jian was full of emotion and said with a smile.

"This matter also needs to be reported to Your Majesty quickly, so that Your Majesty can be happy and happy......"

"That's nature!"

Win the longevity of the jaw.

Then he asked the public next to him.

"I have smelted this qualified molten iron, and my son wants you to make that iron pot, is it difficult?"

"Your Highness, rest assured, with such good steel, if the minister can't even forge an iron pot, then the minister will simply crash to death on the pillar......"

The public on the side was on the side, patting his chest and saying.

It's just that he has some doubts.

"It's just that the minister really doesn't know, why do you have to use the iron pot, the rice made by this thing can be better than the food made by Ding? This cooking and cooking, there is a tripod, why do you have to have this kind of thin iron pot? ”

"Ding, it's too backward, and the things that are made are nothing more than cooking, and my son doesn't like it."

Win Changsheng said with a smile.
