"At present, most of the smelting in Yutang uses charcoal or coal essence as fuel. If you want to make steel mother, charcoal alone will definitely not work. However, if we mix a little wood essence with the coal essence, and then change the bellows to increase the wind power in the furnace, the furnace temperature can be increased by at least 30%, and it is not difficult to make steel mother!" Chu Yun said confidently, "Moreover, as far as Chu knows, the material for creating a divine weapon is not only the steel mother!"

"Coal essence mixed with wood essence?well, that's a good idea!" General He frowned and thought for a long time, then he sighed: "How many skilled craftsmen I am in Yutang, everyone knows that the furnace temperature can be increased by increasing the wind power in the furnace. However, the so-called easier said than done, how easy is the improvement of the bellows, even if the national strength of the Seven Nations Alliance is as strong, I don't know how much financial and human resources have been invested, so far it has not succeeded!!"

Seeing that the other party looked worried about the country and the people, Chu Yun secretly praised in his heart. Although this person is short-tempered, he cares about the safety of the country, is sincere, and is really a good general of the country!

Chu Yun, who has studied combat command science for these generals who are truly loyal to the country, but has always lacked experience in battle formations, felt inexplicably cordial, and immediately spoke: "Lord He doesn't have to worry, since I mentioned the improvement of the bellows, I do have some ideas in my heart, and after testing, I have successfully refined the steel mother, but it is a great waste of time here.

What? Not only did this kid have a plan to improve, but he had also succeeded in refining the steel mother? At this moment, everyone present was greatly surprised.

General He was overjoyed, and immediately took out a jade plaque and handed it to Chu Yun, "Okay! This is very good! Chu Yun, this is the old man's token, there is no need to report it, you can go to the next door to find me at any time." But I don't know if there is a sample of your improved bellows, if so, the old man will go with you to see it in person. Haha, boy, if the improved bellows can really make a steel mother, it will be a great contribution to our Yutang!"

Chu Yun opened his mouth and said: "The bellows are heavy, and it is inconvenient to transport them long distances. When Chu first arrived in Xuanjing, he found a place to live in the blacksmith alley, which was a blacksmith shop, and the bellows will be recast in the near future, which can be completed in four or five days. If you don't give up, you can just go and have a look at it when the time comes. ”

General He laughed, "It turns out that Brother Chu also has a blacksmith shop, why do I say why are you so proficient in smelting technology! Okay, after ten days, He will definitely come to visit!"

After finishing speaking, General He muttered again: "Xiaoyou once said: The material for building a divine weapon is not only the steel mother. Yes, this is well known. However, according to the information He has mastered, any other material is more difficult to smelt than steel mother, can Chu Xiaoyou have a good plan?"

Chu Yun said: "Yes, if you know a method to mix and smelt several metals in proportion, you will have a forty percent chance of refining an alloy." Not only is it much harder than the steel mother, but it is also easier to melt, and the weight will be greatly reduced!" "Alloy is the most common smelting technology in mechanical civilization, and it is obviously ten percent sure, but Chu Yun said forty percent, but he has a long-term plan in his heart.

General He was shocked: "How many metals are mixed and refined?alloy?" This is a new thing that he has never heard of, and he is waiting to ask for advice carefully, but Chu Yun has deliberately sold it, "Alloy equipment is by no means a few words to say clearly, if the general does not believe it, the blacksmith shop in the lower part will soon open, and when the time comes, make a few weapons with alloys, and then ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the three adults to identify it." ”

General He stroked his palms and laughed, "Okay, good! At the end of the blacksmith alley, three days later, the old man will definitely come to visit! As you can see, Chu Yun, you are the old man who is going to decide!"

The wise prince smiled and said: "Chu Yun Xiaoyou has extraordinary knowledge, this palace is worth the trip today, presumably the rest of the assessment will be more exciting, the two generals please continue!"

At this time, General Zhang asked with a smile: "Chu Yun, this official's question is very simple, exactly the same as General He's question, may I ask, how can you win the war?"

Hearing General Zhang's question, the rest looked at each other and smiled, asking the same question twice, obviously not being able to answer with the same answer, isn't this deliberately difficult?

Chu Yun replied without hesitation: "The victory of the war is also financial! Armaments and military supplies, soldiers and food, do not need huge financial support!"

This person is young, but in the face of General Zhang's deliberate questioning, he answered casually, without the slightest lag, and his words were concise and to the point, and he was like an infinite number of hills and valleys in his chest. The four of them thought to themselves, even if they changed places and answered by themselves, they might not necessarily have a better performance.

The four of them looked at each other with shocked expressions.

General Zhang bowed his head and said: "This statement is very much in line with my heart, it can be regarded as passing the assessment of this official, this official asks again, now that Yutang's financial resources are tight, and taxes have increased greatly, what is the good strategy for Captain Chu?"

The shortage of military spending is a common problem faced by all countries in wartime, and no matter how many civil servants and think tanks cannot solve it, asking Yu Chuyun today, it is just a casual question, and there is not much hope in his heart, presumably Chu Yun's answer is nothing more than a commonplace to take from the people and use it for the military.

Chu Yun didn't answer immediately, he thought for a while, and then he opened his mouth and gently spit out eight words, "Strengthen the wall and clear the wilderness, and use the battle to raise the war!"

Fortified walls clear the wilderness, and fight to feed the war?

General Zhang savored it, only to feel that although these eight words were simple, there was a lot of mystery in them, and he was about to ask for detailed advice. The wise prince changed his face in an instant, and he pushed and sat up, slamming his fist on the table in front of him, making a loud 'bang'.

Hearing the strange sound, he immediately alarmed the prince's guards, and saw two strong men with tigers on their backs rushing in.

Standing wisely leaning on the case, he waved his hand to signal the two of them to retreat, looked directly at Chu Yun, his expression was quite excited, and praised: "What a strong wall to clear the wilderness, to fight to support the war! This plan is wonderful! The five countries of the Western Barbarians have frequent natural disasters, and the national strength is far less rich than the four countries in my eastern border.

Hearing the prince's analysis, the three generals felt deeply reasonable, and they all echoed and said yes. The wise prince frowned and asked Yu Chuyun: "However, what General Zhang asked was how to solve our Yutang's own financial problems. I am a fish and a man, and I am a sword, how can I benefit from this by fighting? This palace is dull, and I also ask Brother Chu to add points in detail, if I can solve my worries, this palace will be greatly rewarded!"

The wise prince is thoughtful, intelligent, sensitive, and shameless to ask, and he is indeed a virtuous ****.

Chu Yun successfully attracted the attention of this person, and promised a heavy reward. My heart suddenly moved, and I must know that the secular imperial palace is fighting endlessly, and the princes and princes all covet the throne, and all of them cultivate their henchmen. As long as you show your talents, you will inevitably be relied on by the prince, and you will have a great opportunity to explore the immortal tree. So he opened his mouth and responded respectfully: "The so-called war is to make the country willing to take out money and grain to strengthen the combat power of my Yutang!"

Hearing this, seeing Chu Yun Zhizhu in his hand, General Zhang couldn't help but be curious, and asked puzzledly: "Not only do you want to absorb the wealth and grain of other countries, but also make the other party 'willing', this difficulty is not ordinary, is there any clever plan for Captain Chu?"

Chu Yun said a few words, but they were heard in everyone's ears, but they were tantamount to thunder. Just like the pearl finally blooming with brilliant light, the status of these four people has risen sharply in their hearts, as can be seen from Yu Mingming's name to him, and the change from 'this person' to 'little friend' is finally called 'brother'.

It is taboo in officialdom to call each other brothers, and calling them like this can enhance mutual goodwill. But if it reaches the emperor's dragon ear, you can't help but speculate and speculate, the so-called fighting tiger brothers, father and son soldiers. You cadres call themselves brothers and sisters, and form gangs, are you preparing to revolt?

General He relied on the old and sold the old, and he still called Chu Yun a boy, although he was not very polite, he showed a little closeness. General Zhang was sleek as an official, and he also had the intention of wooing Chu Yun in his heart, but the prince was close to him, but he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to continue to call him a captain.

Chu Yun said with an unpredictable smile: "This plan is actually simple and easy, in short, if I Yu Tang smelts a large amount of steel mother, and then sells it, this kind of material for making a divine weapon will definitely cause other countries to rush to buy, and even enemy countries will find ways to buy it." If we wait for the price to sell, the income will be 100 times the cost, and won't it solve the financial problem in one fell swoop?"
