The First Happy King of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 177 Sincerity

In the end, Wang Jie didn't hold back Li Muyun, and embarked on the official road to Shuozhou with a heart full of apprehension.

Meanwhile, Li Muyun and others started to find places to build steel factories around the cottage.

The so-called steel factory is actually just a name, and it can be regarded as a small workshop in the countryside at most.

A small earthen blast furnace, built with bricks on the outside in the shape of a pot-bellied wine jar, inside with a thick layer of refractory clay, with openings for feeding materials, and four openings for blowing air in the middle. The bottom layer has two openings, one is the opening for scraping out slag, and the other is the opening for flowing molten iron.

Simple, crude but very practical, after all, now that there is coke, there is no disadvantage of being unable to completely melt iron ore.

Li Muyun randomly found a piece of paper, drew a sketch on it, and then the three fat men were responsible for the construction of this project.

And he returned to Shanyin County to continue his career of practicing martial arts overtime.

……

Three days later, the fat man came back happily: "Muyun, it's done. The blast furnace has been repaired. When will we start ironmaking?"

Li Muyun was practicing aiming with a small soft bow at this time, and he was very excited when he heard the fat man say that the blast furnace was built, so he simply didn't practice aiming or anything, and walked out with Su Yatou.

Although there are not many ores on the mountain, he can start the fire in advance. You must know that although he built only a small blast furnace, it is nearly three meters in diameter. Thinking about the fire, it is not easy to burn it evenly. An easy thing to do.

Having nothing to say along the way, they came to a wasteland near the river outside the city, and when they saw Li Muyun, they were stunned, and when they glanced at the fat man, they had a bad premonition in their hearts.

I remember that there was a joke in later generations, it was about a team of engineers who built a chimney with blueprints, but the project contracting party took a look at it, became angry instantly, and scolded the leader of the engineering team like a dog Bloody, because what they were trying to build was a well, and the engineering team got the whole thing upside down.

And although the situation in front of him is not that the well has been repaired into a chimney, but looking at the endless wilderness in front of him, there is no building higher than two meters, Li Muyun's heart began to sink gradually, and the fat man who was still laughing at the side asked : "Where is Lao Tzu's blast furnace, where is it?"

"That's right." Fatty said, pointing to a group of people not far away.

Li Muyun glanced over there, and asked in a hateful voice: "You..., you couldn't have repaired it below the ground for me, did you?"

"That's right, after looking at the picture, I think you have a problem with thinking about things. The thing is so high, how can you load it after repairing it, so I asked someone to dig a hole and build the thing under it." The fat man said confidently. Said.

Hearing the fat man's complaints, Li Muyun resisted the urge to beat him up, and came to the side of the so-called blast furnace that was buried in the ground.

The crowd dispersed, and Li Muyun saw what it looked like in the pit.

Fortunately, the fat man didn't reverse the blast furnace, but what's the difference between this straight up and down and reversed.

But the fat man came forward recklessly: "Well, I have a good idea, right now, we just need to push the material over from the top, and then pour it in, and everything will be fine, isn't it very smart!"

"You're smart, sir!" Li Muyun finally couldn't stand the fat man's brain hole, it couldn't be done, he couldn't take it anymore, the more Li Muyun thought about it, the more angry he became, so he stepped forward and grabbed the fat man, and pressed him to the ground in a black-and-white manner The beating!While beating, he scolded: "Are you really stupid or fake? You put this thing below the ground, what about the molten iron that flows out? Go down and hug it! Are you a pig? When can you Be smart, don't always open your mind!"

The fat man was beaten up and screamed, but he was powerless to resist. Li Muyun just said this and he remembered it. Although the current situation is good for loading materials, the molten iron that flows out can only stay at the bottom of the pit. Can't get it up.

Compared with throwing those cold stones into the furnace, it is undoubtedly many times more troublesome to get the molten iron from below to the top, that is to say, his smart move has brought him endless troubles.

……

The conversation was divided into two parts, leaving aside the matter of Li Muyun arranging for Fatty to rebuild the blast furnace, but talking about Wang Jie who went to Shuozhou City.

After arriving in Shuozhou, Wang Jie first found an inn to stay for one night.

The next morning, after changing his clothes, he took his servants and knocked on the gate of the Assassin's Mansion. Without any hindrance, he saw his uncle, the new Jin Shuozhou Assassin Wang Weiwei.

"Nephew, what good news is there for coming here today?" It seems that Wang Jie's arrival did not exceed Wang Wei's expectations, so when he saw him, the old man did not show any surprise.

"There is news, but I don't know whether it is good or bad." Wang Jie's tone was very flat. After such a long time, he can already accept the fact that his dead father was kicked out of the house, and he was calm when he saw Wang Weiwei again. a lot.

"Nephew, tell me!" Wang Weiwei said to Wang Jie with a smile while ordering people to serve tea.

For this nephew, he himself can't say what he feels. From the point of view of blood relationship, they had a close relationship before, but from a logical point of view, this young man has nothing to do with him at all.

"Xiaoyaohou said reconciliation is possible, but the Wang family needs to provide ore that can refine 50 jin of steel, otherwise there will be no reconciliation!"

"What? That's impossible. What kind of thing is Li Muyun? Reconciliation with him is because the Wang family thinks highly of him. I didn't expect this bastard to show his nose and face. He really treats himself as a character, and he doesn't piss to show what kind of virtue he is. sex."

The one who spoke was still the young man from that day. This kid must have been spoiled by Wang Weiyi. He always acted coquettishly, coquettishly, as if everyone in this world should be afraid of him.

But after the young man expressed his opinion this time, he did not get reprimanded by Wang Weiyi, which made Wang Jie feel a burst of pressure, and he had begun to give up any hope for this trip to Shuozhou.

Originally, in fact, his thinking was the same as that young man's, and he didn't think that Wang Weiyi would agree to Li Muyun's condition.

Because that is too harsh, it is estimated that as long as it is an individual, they will not agree, and the Wang family will also not agree.

But what surprised Wang Jie and the young man was that after a long silence, Wang Weiwei actually agreed. He picked up the tea, took a sip and said slowly: "I can agree to this condition, but, relatively, I also have one condition, if Xiaoyaohou agrees, then all these things will be over, and no one will mention it in the future, and my Wang family will become good partners with Xiaoyaohou."
