Emperor Zhenguan

Chapter 381 It's called coke, pay attention to words
Chinese New Year is still a little busy, Li Zhiyun is not senior in the clan, so he has to visit the elders of the clan more often.In addition, Yang Gongren, Chen Shuda, Pei Ju, Pei Ji and several other Xiangguo residences will also visit.Some are sincere visits, while others are just for fun.

This year it seems to be busier, there is no other way, he has to pay a visit to the Du family, Webster family, Dugu family, Xue family and other aristocratic families.

When visiting Pei's family, Pei Ju asked him when he was going to accept Pei Su'er, but Li Zhiyun replied that he would wait.

Pei Ju didn't insist on this.After all, King Chu's foundation in the court is not stable, and now is not the time to expose Pei's family.

In addition, the two brothers-in-law, Chai Shao, Zhao Cijing, and Li Zhiyun also found time to take a trip.The outside story is naturally not to find a brother-in-law, but to visit the sisters.

Chu Palace, study room.

"Chang Da, the governor of Longzhou, gave a hundred catties of hazelnuts and three hundred sheets of dragon beard mats." Li Zhen put down the documents.

Li Zhiyun was slightly amused, "What the hell is this Changda doing? Hazelnuts are still edible. Why do I need so many mats? Are there no other local products in Longzhou?"

Li Zhen said embarrassingly: "Chang Shishi said that Longzhou is barren and has nothing else, so I can only express my heart to His Highness."

"He's not expressing his heart, he's showing that he's a clean official." Li Zhiyun saw through Chang Da's little thoughts at a glance.

"Your Highness said yes."

Li Qiang said: "Hu Yan, the governor of Ningzhou, gave a hundred five-color saddle-covered felts and a hundred dragon-beard mats. There are medicinal herbs, turnips, and fake sage, each of which is a hundred catties."

"Well, there are more." Li Zhiyun nodded.

These local governors, who have no background, have basically been in contact with him over the years.

Li Zhen continued: "Yang Shidao, the general manager of Lingzhou, gave a hundred catties of various medicinal herbs, a pair of white carvings, twenty pieces of deer leather, and twenty wild horses."

Li Zhiyun thought for a while, then ordered: "Send the white eagle to Changle Palace."

"Yes."

Li Youliang, the king of Changle, likes BMW wild birds.

Li Qiang said: "Liu Daju, the governor of Suizhou, gave three hundred pieces of Hu Nu cloth and thirty catties of candles."

Li Zhiyun couldn't help laughing, "This Liu Daju is really an idiot."

"Li Chen, the governor of Xizhou, gave two hundred pieces of Hu Nu cloth and two hundred jars of honey."

"Give Tang Xiang two thousand in return."

"Yes."

Li Chen and Li Xiaogong are brothers, and Li Zhiyun is on his own.

"Xu Shanhu, governor of Beizhou, presented silk and felt"

The reason these people gave things was to continue to maintain a good relationship with Li Zhiyun.After all, there is no one in the center, and they feel uneasy when they are local officials.

Among them, some people have been in contact with Li Zhiyun for several years, and some people just got online.

Most of the governors in the Hebei area were hooked up with Li Zhiyun when he was conquering Dou Jiande.

Li Zhiyun would not refuse anyone who came, and when they brought gifts, Li Zhiyun would naturally give them something in return.

Now he doesn't have to keep pretending to be cowardly, Donggong is following him, King Qi needs him to attract the prince's attention.

And he also needs to get in touch with the local governor.

The best of all three.

After finishing, Li Zhiyun stretched his waist, walked out of the study, and asked, "Where are you going to eat today?"

"Wei side concubine's courtyard." The servant girl replied.

"Let's go."

Before the end of the first month, sand sculptures rebelled in Yizhou.

Sizhou is in the jungle south of Bashu. The rebel sand sculpture is called Wang Mosha. This brother is also illiterate. He changed the name of the country before he decided on the name of the country.

For such an idiot, Lao Li didn't even bother to summon the prime minister to discuss matters, and directly sent the nearby chief executive to beat him to death.

Weihe Workshop.

With the development of time, the big water wheel in the workshop has become bigger and bigger, giving it the visual sense of a "small Ferris wheel".

As the water surges, the runners and baffles hidden under the water generate force under the impact of the water to drive the waterwheel to rotate.

creak creak!

The noise is endless!

A thick log, surrounded by a layer of iron, with the help of the power driven by the rotation of the waterwheel, on the other end of the log, that is, the end where Yanshen enters the workshop, a big hammer is tied underneath, and the craftsman is on the side Control axis rotation.

When the craftsman unloads the force, the frequency of the sledgehammer's beating will decrease, and when the craftsman releases the hydraulic power, the frequency of the sledgehammer's beating will increase.

Under the sledge hammer, there is a piece of miscellaneous iron that has just been smelted from the blast furnace. After being continuously forged by the sledgehammer, the impurities are quickly removed.

Afterwards, the craftsmen took out the refined iron, put it in the mold, and continued to let the big hammer beat it.

"Your Highness, you let us use the graphite transported from Taiyuan to smelt iron, which is really admirable." Yuwen Rutong said with admiration, "The graphite temperature is extremely high, and it burns for a long time, which is very suitable for use Come to smelt iron. Now, a furnace can produce more than [-] catties of refined iron every day."

Made, say it again, that's coke!

Fart coal, your coal is so powerful!
Before the Tang Dynasty, there was a precedent for using coal to make iron, but people in this era did not know that the essence of coal was coke.

They don't even know that coke has to be dry-distilled from coal.

Li Zhiyun was a little worried, if it wasn't that he couldn't get away, he really didn't want to use coke to smelt iron, it was too wasteful.

This thing should be used to make steel!
The steel pouring method has been born for more than a hundred years, and it can be called the most advanced steelmaking method.But sorry, Li Zhiyun has a more advanced crucible steelmaking method.

Unfortunately, there is no time for crucible heat-resistant materials and production equipment!
At present, or for a long time in the future, we can only continue to use the steel filling method.

The waste in the workshop deserves them to die of poverty. It is troublesome enough for them to understand the dry distillation coke technology, let alone the crucible steelmaking method that surpasses the steel pouring method.

"It's called coke, watch your wording."

"Yes, coke." Yuwen Confucianism is as good as it sounds.

Li Zhiyun asked again: "How many boilers for dry distillation of coke have you built?"

It is impossible to turn coal into coke without a boiler.In order to get the boiler out, Li Zhiyun really died a lot of brain cells.

If it weren't for the hydraulic forging hammer, Li Zhiyun wouldn't have the confidence to build a solid boiler.At the time of the original experiment, the fryer was not a one-time or two-time thing.

"Twelve."

Li Zhiyun nodded, "It's quite a lot. Next, you slow down production and let the craftsmen familiarize themselves with the operation of the boiler. The coal supply in Taiyuan can't keep up with your refining. Now you need to train more handy craftsmen. When you expand the scale in the future , not enough manpower."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Li Zhiyun wanted to let go of his mouth completely, and frantically dug coal, smelted iron, and built waterwheels.But the problem is that I can't do it now. After all, the power is not in my hands, so I have to be careful.Just like digging coal in my hometown in Taiyuan, I dare not say anything, so I can only get it little by little.

"By the way, don't throw away the coal ash and coal dust left over from dry distillation of coal. Dig a hole and bury it. It will be of great use in the future."

"What's the use of that?" Yuwen Rutong was stunned.

Hehe, I will tell you, can coal ash and coal chips be made into briquettes by adding lime, clay, water, and wood chips.

It's not that Li Zhiyun is bragging, he is handing over the Weihe workshop to the imperial court for research, and any technology in it is enough for the poor ghosts in the Ministry of Industry to study for more than ten years.

The reason why he doesn't take things out now is mainly because he is worried that Lao Li will take them by force. When he is determined in the future and will control the overall situation by himself, when the time comes, I will be the country. Who dares to fake and shoddy?Who dares to make briquettes without consent?

Watch out for the beheading knife serving the head!
When the future is determined, coal will be excavated and coke will be dry-distilled, steel and iron will be made, and the remaining coal ash and coal chips will be made into briquettes.

Ma De, let's get fat.

In the future, he will build hundreds of workshops and smelt steel crazily every day. He will not only mass-produce plate armor, but when the conditions are ripe in the future, he will also cast cannons, build rails, build steam engines, and invent trains.

Fuck all the land and sea creatures who don't accept it!
