The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 170 Ignorance
The reason why the aristocratic family is called the aristocratic family is because they do have their own way of dealing with the world.

In the eyes of the aristocratic family, there is only the longevity of the family, and there is no personal interest. They can sacrifice a lot of things for the family.

Just like Li Muyun, although this guy killed more than 50 offshoots of the Wang family in one go, and even the younger brother of the head of the offshoot, but when the main family found out that this kid was still capable of messing around, they decisively voted for him. With the olive branch out, all the previous things have been thrown out of the sky.

That is to say, those dead clansmen died as well, and the master would not pursue this matter any more. This was the only thought in Wang Jie's mind after listening to Wang Weiyi's words.

……

The story is divided into two parts, let's talk about our protagonist Li Muyun.

At this time, Li Muyun was actually not idle. In an unknown mountain depression, in front of a row of more than ten cave dwellings, he was hiding under a big tree, holding a bowl of iced grape wine, drinking without a sip. Looking at the cave dwelling that had been turned off not far away, a lot of smoke was being emitted from it.

This is the place where coke is smelted. After more than [-] previous experiments, this time is the one with the greatest confidence, so Li Muyun came here to visit and guide with great interest.

"Xiaoyaohou, what exactly is that coke you mentioned? Why did you burn the black stone and charcoal together?" Fang Yi sat beside Li Muyun, with a bowl of chilled grape wine in his hand, but he But he didn't have the heart to drink this thing, he just wanted to know the function of coke.

"Coke, to put it bluntly, you can also regard it as a kind of charcoal, but its structure is quite special. If it is used in terms of usage, it can't be used for anything other than steelmaking." Li Muyun took a sip of the bowl The wine in the cup shrugged and said.

"Just for steelmaking?" Fang Yizhi asked with some uncertainty.

This guy Li Muyun often lied to people habitually, and Fang Yi hated it, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he could only ask tirelessly again and again.

"There are other uses, but right now it can only be used for steelmaking. You know, I promised the emperor that I will make 50 jin of steel in five years!"

"That's what you asked for, and no one forced you." Fang Yi looked at Li Muyun contemptuously, expressing the utmost disdain for his attitude of pretending to be infinitely wronged even though he was clearly showing off.

"No one is forcing me? Well, you can do whatever you want. Anyway, the 50 jin of steelmaking must be completed within the limit. Maybe we all lose our heads together, and no one can escape." Li Muyun shattered Talking about the matter, at the end, he still didn't forget to drain the grape wine in the bowl, and then said to the stunned Fang Yi: "Okay, the temperature in the kiln has almost dropped, you can go and have a look."

……

At this time, a large number of black stones have been moved out of more than ten cave dwellings, which seem to be no different from ordinary black stones.

But when Li Muyun saw these things, there was a happy smile on his face, he turned around and patted Fang Yizhi on the shoulder and said happily: "Old Fang, it's done, we succeeded!"

"Successful? Aren't these still the original black stones?" Fang Yi said blankly. As a scholar, he really couldn't tell the difference between black stones and coke.

"Don't care if it's the black stone from before, anyway, this batch of things is just coke, you just have to remember it, if you can't do it, put one in your pocket, take it out from time to time, and you'll know the difference after a long time." Li Muyun A little overjoyed, he grabbed a piece of hot coke on the ground and stuffed it into Fang Yizhi's hand.

"Li Muyun, your uncle's!" Fang Yizhi grabbed the coke that had just come out of the oven without warning, and immediately threw it out with an exclamation. I was forced to do that.

However, Li Muyun didn't care about Fang Yizhi at this time, and waved to the workers who were waiting aside and said: "From now on, you will continue to burn coke according to the firing method of the furnace just now, and burn as much as you can. ,understand?"

"No!" Everyone replied.

They come here to work, as long as someone pays them, they can do whatever they want.

"Foreman, where's the foreman?" After ordering the workers, Li Muyun started looking for the person in charge here again. After shouting twice, a black and thin man in his 30s ran over: "Master, are you looking for me?"

"All these burned things will be loaded and sent to the cottage for me later. In addition, hurry up these few days and make more coke. I will be of great use later, understand?"

"Understood, don't worry, Lord Hou, the younger ones must urge them to work quickly." The foreman nodded quickly.

"Okay, that's it." Li Muyun quickly glanced around, and found that there seemed to be nothing more to explain, so he finally confessed, and took Fang Yi straight away from this hot, broken place.

……

On the way back, Fang Yi kept looking at Li Muyun with weird eyes, until he looked at Li Muyun with hairs all over, then he asked the question he hadn't finished just now—what can coke do?

Regarding Fang Yizhi's curiosity, Li Muyun was really speechless, and finally he could only say helplessly: "Old Fang, you know that black stones can burn, right?"

"I know." Fang Yi nodded his head.

"Then do you know the temperature of the black stone when it burns?"

"This..., how could you know this, it should be very hot?" Fang Yi thought for a long time, and searched all over his memory but couldn't find any records about the temperature of the Black Stone.

Fortunately, Li Muyun didn't really ask him to answer this question. Seeing that he was struggling, he directly gave the answer: "Eight degrees, up to a thousand degrees."

"What is speed?" Fang Yizhi couldn't understand, and his brows frowned.

The concept of temperature, in Datang, there are only cold, hot, very cold, very hot, and other concepts, like Li Muyun, there is no specific value to measure it, so this makes Fang Yizhi a little confused.

"That's not the point. The point is that coke combustion can generate a high temperature of [-] degrees."

"Two, two thousand three hundred..." Fang Yi opened his mouth wide.

"Yes, [-] degrees, and the melting temperature of iron and steel is about [-] degrees, that is to say, if we use coke to make steel, we can burn iron directly into water, and then add..."

Li Muyun couldn't listen to what Fang Yizhi said later, at that moment, he only saw someone's mouth opening and closing, what he said seemed to have nothing to do with him.
