After wearing the book, she got the wrong script

Chapter 127
"Boss Wang, what are they doing stirring in that cauldron?"

Surrounded by Guanshi Wang and a group of core principals, Bai Fu observed and observed in the forging iron kiln for most of the day, and finally stopped at one place.

I don't know what Guanshi Wang said to them, but every time Bai Fu asked a question, someone rushed to answer and answer their questions, and their attitude was extremely enthusiastic.

Upon hearing the question, a middle-aged man who could tell from his appearance that he was a senior person stood up.

"This is the ancient method of frying iron. The iron produced by this method is tougher and sharper, suitable for forging weapons. However, this method is not easy to control, and the failure rate is extremely high."

Bai Fu asked some more details, and he knew it in his mind.

This iron forge kiln was specially built for the manufacture of weapons, so the smelting is naturally not ordinary iron.

Compared with pig iron, which is hard and brittle, wrought iron is soft and easy to shape, and neither is suitable for forging weapons.

What is really suitable for forging weapons is iron that has both the hardness of pig iron and the easy-to-shape characteristics of wrought iron, that is, steel in modern terms.

In ancient times, there was no steelmaking technology, and the iron produced by frying iron was not real steel, but the principles were similar.

As mentioned in modern machinery manufacturing textbooks, steel, pig iron, and wrought iron are actually the same substance.

The difference is how much carbon is in it.

Pig iron has the highest carbon content, so it is the hardest;
Wrought iron has the least amount of carbon and is therefore the softest.

The carbon content of steel is between the two, so it is not easy to refine, and if it is not well controlled, it will be too much, and it becomes wrought iron.

There is actually a simple way to solve this problem -
That is to mix pig iron and wrought iron in proportion to neutralize the carbon content.

The pig iron sheet is embedded in the middle of the coiled wrought iron bars, and then the furnace is sealed with mud and fired, and then forged after being smelted. In this way, the carbon content is relatively easy to control, and the failure rate will be greatly reduced.

Compared with the previous method of frying steel, this method has obvious advantages, which can reduce the number of times of repeated folding and forging, and improve labor productivity.

And the operation is simple, easy to master, and easy to popularize.

This method has been introduced extensively in the history of steel development, so Bai Fu was deeply impressed.

After trying to understand this point, Bai Fu felt relieved and no longer worried that the information contained in the materials was not enough, so he followed the group to the next observation point.

Before leaving, Bai Fu invited Guanshi Wang aside to talk.

"Thank you, Steward Wang, I will sort out the paperwork as soon as possible, and I will ask Steward Wang to help promote the coking coal of the He family."

Steward Wang took a deep look at Bai Fu, and murmured for no answer.

The He family's coking coal output is not large now, so how many competitors can they get by promoting the He family's coking coal?
Bai Fu understood Guanshi Wang's thoughts, and increased his weight, "Besides the principle of coking coal, I have an easier way to fry iron. Is Guanshi Wang interested?"

A new method of frying iron?

Guanshi Wang's eyes widened suddenly, and he turned to look at Bai Fu, do you know what you are talking about?

"Don't worry, Guanshi Wang, I will write all these in the documents. Only you and the He family know about this matter. The He family dare not claim credit, so they must keep their mouths shut." Bai Fu said in a low voice.

Steward Wang's eyes sparkled.

If there is a new method of frying iron, what is the work of making iron with coke?
Homemade method of frying iron
He, Wang Zhiguo, is afraid that he will be valued by the regent king like that iron lord.

In the long run, it is possible to leave a name through the ages.

The price is only to help the He family promote coking coal.

This deal is worth it!

Steward Wang finally readily agreed.

"Miss Yun, why are you here?"

Luo Jin went to work in the town today, and as soon as he walked to Detian Pavilion, he encountered Yunqi galloping on horseback.

Seeing that it was Luo Jin, Yun Qi smiled and jumped off the horse, cupping his hands to congratulate:

"Yun Qi met Luo Juren!"

When Yunqi went to Detian Pavilion to eat and drink, he heard that Luo Jin was admitted to Juren, but unfortunately he never had a chance to express his congratulations.

Luo Jin hurriedly returned the gift, "Thank you, Miss Yun, Luo Jin."

His eyes glanced at the letter in Yunqi's hand, his face beamed with joy, and he asked, "Is it the letter from the young master?"

"Yes"

Yunqi handed over the letter.

"He still has something to do, so he has to come back later. The goods will be sent back first, and he will arrive in Raozhou in two days. The specific arrangement should be stated in the letter."

Luo Jin took the letter, and opened it directly, regardless of the people still outside.

After seeing the familiar handwriting, it was as ugly as ever, but Luo Jin somehow felt a sense of peace of mind, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised a smile after reading the letter.

Xiaobai likes to mark one, two, three when writing letters, the content is concise and concise, and a lot of things are explained on one page.

"It's the same as Miss Yun said. The foreign language will come back with the escort agency tomorrow. Young Master will be later. As for the goods, they will be sent back to Xiaoxi Village first. The warehouse is ready, and I will send someone to pick them up at the entrance of the village the next day."

Seeing Luo Jin explain the situation and follow-up arrangements clearly in a few words, Yun Qi nodded reassuringly, bid farewell, got on his horse and whipped away.

"Brother Luo!"

Huang Qiuyang approached, shaking his fan, looked at the slender figure who left gracefully, and asked with a smile:
"This handsome girl is..."

Luo Jin turned around and looked over, and was slightly taken aback when he saw Huang Qiuyang's outfit.

The brand-new blue satin gown with buttons is beautiful in color, and the white belt has complicated and delicate dark patterns, and the jade pendant hanging on it is impressive at first glance.

Although Huang's family is rich, Daye Kingdom had a lot of restrictions on merchants in the past, and it has been passed down to this day. It is likely that Huang Xiucai's family specially bought Huang Xiucai's ostentatious attire after he was elected.

Luo Jin raised his hand, "Huang Juren!"

Huang Qiuyang laughed, closed his fan with a snap, and bowed his hands in return, "Luo Juren!"

As he said that, he looked at Luo Jin, saw that Luo Jin was still wearing a semi-old plain robe, then looked at himself, and frowned slightly, "Brother Luo is now a nobleman, why is he still dressed so elegantly?"

Is it vegetarian?
Luo Jin didn't think so.

Mr. Bai had him buy this suit specially for him. He smiled and said, "It's good that it's comfortable."

This is true.

Wearing new clothes all day is a bit uncomfortable.

Huang Qiuyang nodded and put aside the topic, "I was passing by today, and I saw Brother Luo came to ask, is there any new brewed wine in Detian Pavilion recently?"

Luo Jin shook his head, "Brother Huang may have to wait until next month."

"no problem no problem"

Huang Qiuyang was not in a hurry, and asked again:

"Will the food shop in Xiaoxi Village, Nade Tiange, officially open until Mr. Bai returns next month?"

"That's not necessary, the young master asked us to arrange the opening when we are ready." Luo Jin said, feeling a little strange, "Why is Brother Huang asking such a question?"

Huang Qiuyang smiled meaningfully.

"Bai Gongzi's food shop has not yet opened, and he made a statement, and I was also entrusted by someone to ask him a question."

When Huang Qiuyang rushed to his celebration banquet, the people who came to congratulate him had already exaggerated the lively atmosphere of Huang's family extremely well.

When he was ushered into the main hall in a suave manner, he was immediately surrounded by a group of young people. Everyone was chattering, congratulating and asking for advice.

"Brother Huang, let's start with how you persevered until the last scene."

A young man shouted at the top of his voice.

"No, no, no," the other young master retorted, "Let's start with how to hang your head and stab your butt before the exam!"

The boy beside him couldn't help laughing.

He Zeng, the son of his family, had his head hung on the beam and his buttocks, and he said that he glanced at the old lady who was also socializing over there, thoughtfully.

There are rumors in the Huang family that the master's wife bought it at a high price this time.

Xiao Si really felt that such speculation was very reasonable.

After all, his young master is not keen on studying. Although he is often praised by his master, he has never said it hard, so this time Qiu Wei didn't even think about taking the exam.

Later, the reason why he changed his mind to take the exam was because Miss Ling'er entrusted him to give Mr. Bai a nutritious meal in order to get a candidate qualification.

Now that you have obtained the candidate qualification, formally, you still have to enter the examination room.

Before the young master entered the examination room, he even told him that if he couldn't persist, it would be fine to give up the exam halfway, and let him stay outside at any time.

Unexpectedly, after that, he waited outside the examination room every day, waiting for many candidates who left the examination room horizontally and vertically, but he couldn't wait for his young master.

It made him very puzzled.

"elder sister"

A mellow lady came over holding a handkerchief and lowered her voice, "It is said that Qiuyang was bought by my sister--"

Mrs. Huang froze with a smile on her face and glared at her.

"Who is ruining my Huang family's reputation outside? My family Qiuyang was seen by an expert in the temple since he was born. It is a pity that my family Qiuyang is a Wenqu star and does not study!"

Mrs. Yuanrun is Mrs. Huang's natal sister. She has been close to this sister since she was a child. She is not afraid of being stared at. She smiled and pulled her sleeve, "Don't worry, sister, this is one of them."

And second?

Mrs. Huang looked over and signaled her sister to continue.

"I heard what Brother Yu said."

The round-faced lady had a mysterious look on her face, "Someone in the academy said that we, Qiuyang, won the exam because we ate the Detian Pavilion's Juren meal."

"What is a banquet?"

The old lady likes to have people go to Detian Pavilion to buy food and drink for her family, Madam Huang naturally knows about this, but...
I've never heard that Detian Pavilion sells juren meals.

"My sister doesn't know something"

The round-faced lady said, "This time, the reference students of Bailu College are the same as in previous years, but the number of successful candidates is more than in previous years. The masters are still those masters, and the books have not changed. The only difference this year is that before the exam, Detian Pavilion I heard that there was a student who didn't receive the meal for the candidates, coughed halfway, didn't perform well, and fell seriously ill after returning home."

Mrs. Huang snorted, showing some interest, "Is there anything else?"

Luo Jin went to the government office, and Shen Sanjin was already waiting at the door.

This year's land tax has already started to be collected, and I heard that it has already been collected in Guojia Village next door, so as soon as Luo Jin's identity as a candidate was confirmed, he wanted to get the job done as soon as possible.

Before Bai Fu left, Shen Sanjin had already asked Shen Sanjin to make arrangements in advance, and they only had to wait for Luo Jinzhong to make the arrangements. The two entered the government office and directly looked for the household registration, because the ten mu of land was really not much, and there was no need to even check it, and the procedures were completed quickly.

After leaving the government office, Shen Sanjin offered to invite Luo Jin to drink tea.

"Shopkeeper Shen, you might as well speak up if you have something to say."

Luo Jin saw that Shen Sanjin had something to say, so he walked aside and asked bluntly.

Shen Sanjin smiled.

"Luo Juren is a straightforward person, so I won't make any detours." Shen Sanjin cupped his hands, "Juren can hang 390 mu of land, I don't know the remaining [-] mu of quota, Luo Juren intends to--"

Shen Sanjin half-spoken and glanced at Luo Jin.

Luo Jin understood.

"I have no plans for the time being, come back and listen to Xiaobai's arrangement." Luo Jin said lightly.

That is, he didn't plan to talk to him, Shen Sanjin didn't force it, and changed the subject with a smile, "Bai Gongzi should come back, I went to fetch wine the day before yesterday, and saw that the new yard has been completed, do you really plan to rent it out?"

Luo Jin nodded.

"Yes, Xiaobai said before leaving that if there is a suitable person, it will be rented out. It is best to rent it as a whole. Please worry about the rent."

"Okay, then I will arrange to take someone to see the house."
