Chapter 140: Crossing the Essential Skills - Earth Law Blast Furnace Ironmaking (2)

Especially in the past few years, the Dangxiang clan has broken away from the Great Song Dynasty and established the Western Xia by itself, which has made the Great Song Dynasty even worse.

It was also from that time that in order to eliminate the Western Xia, the Great Song Dynasty border was constantly in turmoil.

Although Zhao Zhen knew from the canopy that the Western Xia was rich in resources, and there were even extraordinarily large salt mines.

But the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty made their hands and feet not stretch so long.

Moreover, the steel of the Great Song Dynasty could not support war after war.

It wasn't until the last time I saw coal coking that steel production increased somewhat.

Now seeing blast furnace ironmaking, Zhao Zhen hopes that this can increase the output of steel.

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the title of the video on the canopy, and his heart was full of longing for this kind of thing.

Since he has been fighting for world domination, he has been living a hard life.

Even because of this, he had to follow Liu Bowen's advice, accumulate grain, and delay his claim to be king.

Although he is now the emperor, he also understands the difficulty of steel refining and the scarcity of the country's steel production.

In terms of total output, the output of the entire Ming Dynasty is not low, but there are too many uses of steel.

Not only the manufacture of weapons, but also the agricultural tools and daily necessities used by ordinary people.

In the face of the huge population of the Ming Dynasty, that output is really a little lacking.

Now the blast furnace ironmaking mentioned on the canopy, if it can really greatly alleviate the demand for steel, he believes that the national strength of the Ming Dynasty will be greatly increased.

So Zhu Yuanzhang called the prince Zhu Biao, and he wanted the prince Zhu Biao to be in charge of the blast furnace ironmaking.

Zhu Yuanzhang's goal is to let the people of the world also have iron tools when they reclaim the land, and he believes that at that time, the entire Ming Dynasty will be indestructible, and the rule of his Zhu family will also be unshakable.

And he has more steel, so if he finds a new continent, it will be easier for the people to reclaim the wasteland.

……

Zhu Di saw the blast furnace ironmaking mentioned in the sky, and he was extremely excited.

As an emperor who has been conquering the frontier on the horse, he is very eager to possess weapons.

But the steel in this world is really not enough, so he can't exert his strength when he goes north to Mobei.

Now that it is possible to change this state, he must have people study it.

At the same time, he called his crown prince Zhu Gaochi and asked him to take charge of this matter.

After all, this matter is related to the Northern Expedition, and he is really not at ease to hand over this matter to others.

Zhu Gaochi heard Zhu Di's order, and Zhu Gaochi was a little embarrassed.

The steel in this world cannot increase dramatically, but more often and every year.

However, now his father, the emperor, saw the so-called local blast furnace coking on the canopy, and asked him to be in charge of this matter, which was really difficult for him.

You must know that he is the logistics of Zhu Di's northern expedition to Mobei, and now he has handed over the task of blast furnace ironmaking to her, and he really has no free time to manage.

Zhu Gaochi could only find someone to complete it, to see what the advantages of this blast furnace ironmaking were, and it turned out to be a necessary skill for future generations to cross.

If this blast furnace ironmaking is really as Tianmu said, he has such a traverser, even if he is really given the title of marquis, what can he do?

……

Zhu Hou looked at the video on the canopy, and he was also extremely interested.

After all, he is a general of the Japanese army, if there is no steel, how can he train weapons?

If he didn't have a weapon, how could he attack the slave?

So he ordered the eunuch beside him to record the contents of the canopy.

At this moment, suddenly an 800-mile urgent report was handed over to him.

Zhu Hou looked at the 800-mile urgent report in his hand, he quickly opened it and looked at it, and found that it was sent by Wang Yangming.

It records that Wang Yangming has swept away Najiannu and placed a large number of people from the Ming Dynasty into Naliaodong to live.

Zhu Houzhao believed that with the kang and the briquette coal stove mentioned in the canopy, the people of the Ming Dynasty would also be able to survive in the cold Liaodong.

After a few decades, Liaodong will be the basic plate of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Zhu Hou made a decree to let Wang Mingyang return to Beijing, and he wanted to discuss the next plan with Wang Yangming.

After Wang Mingyang sent Zhu Houzhao 800 miles to expedite, he has been inspecting Liaodong.

He didn't expect that this attack on Liaodong would be so smooth, and he would sweep away Jiannu in a very short time.

And compared to before, every time the troops were sent to fight, the soldiers did not dare to charge forward, this time to attack Jiannu, the soldiers fought very bravely.

He carefully asked those soldiers to find out, and the reason was Zhu Houzhao's will.

Those who live in Liaodong will be rewarded with 30 acres of thin fields, and those who have made contributions in Liaodong will be rewarded with 50 acres of thin fields.

After hearing the news, all the soldiers fought valiantly, hoping that they would be able to get the 50 acres of land.

There are even more soldiers who live in Liaodong with their families.

They felt that although the weather in Liaodong was a little cold, it was even quite cold in some places.

But if they have their own land, they will have a better life in the future.

And now, with the appearance of the method of making ondol and briquettes on the canopy, they are looking forward to life in the future.

They believe that by planting some crops on those lands in the coming year, they are afraid that their descendants will no longer be like them, worrying about food and drink every day.

……

Zhu Youzhen looked at the video on the canopy, and he was anxiously waiting for the information of the video.

Since his accession to the throne, the Ming Dynasty has suffered internal and external troubles.

It wasn't until Yuan Chonghuan proposed the five-year Pingliao plan that he had the confidence to face various natural disasters in the country.

However, the implementation of the five-year plan did not go smoothly, because after all, the war is fought with money and resources.

And what the imperial court at that time lacked was these things.

Later, with the appearance of the canopy and letting him know that there is a high-yield crop such as sweet potatoes, he had a chance to breathe.

Now, with the harvest of sweet potatoes, there have been rebellions in various parts of the country due to natural disasters, and some of them have been eliminated.

It also gave him the energy to provide supplies for Yuan Chonghuan.

And the fire kang and briquettes that appeared later solved the warmth problem of those soldiers who were far away in Liaodong.

The coal coking that appeared not long ago solved the problem of lack of iron tools in the Ming Dynasty.

Now that the blast furnace ironmaking mentioned on the canopy, he hopes to solve the problem of Daming's lack of weapons.

If these problems are solved, Zhu Youzhen believes that he is no longer the hanged ghost under the coal mountain.

He believed that he could ride the waves and let this stormy Ming settle down again.

When the people of the dynasties saw the message on the canopy, they didn't care too much.

Although iron is a matter of their lives, they have become accustomed to the high level of iron tools.

Even if their dynasty did have this blast furnace for ironmaking, they did not believe that the price of iron could fall.

After all, they have experienced too many disappointments, and they have no hope for the court.

They only hope that they can live healthy and safe, and that their children and grandchildren can also live healthy and safe.
