Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 16 Crucible Steelmaking

Wei Zhongxian's eyes lit up: "What's the problem?"

But Ke Guangxian said with a strange face: "That Zhang Haogu has no scientific qualifications at all, more than that, he is not a scholar, he is not a scholar, he is not even a child!"

"what?"

Wei Zhongxian was stunned. Although he was also illiterate, he still knew the rules anyway.

In other words, this kid has never participated in the imperial examination at all, how dare he come to participate in the imperial examination?

Who gave him the guts?

Ke Guang coughed first, and then slowly said: "The most surprising thing is that this Zhang Ruitu said he was ordered by his father-in-law!"

"what?"

Wei Zhongxian became even more sluggish, and he couldn't help: "Our order? Why doesn't our family know?"

Ke Guang first recalled the process of chatting with Zhang Ruitu, Zhang Ruitu's obsequious expression, he still remembers it, and promised that he would not disappoint Eunuch Wei, this little favor is nothing.

The meaning inside and outside the words is, Eunuch Wei asked me to do things, and I can disappoint Eunuch Wei?
Certainly not.

In short, very cooperative.

So much so that now, Ke Guangxian couldn't help but wonder if Wei Zhongxian really ordered this matter.

Even if Wei Zhongxian tried to think about it, he couldn't think of it. A famous post of his own has such a big effect.

"That Ritu doesn't look like a lie!"

Ke Guang frowned first and said: "It's absolutely true, or else this kid faked the father-in-law's order, why don't you just do it tonight and arrest this kid to prison, I don't believe he can't speak!"

Wei Zhongxian shook his head, and casually handed Ke Guangxian another piece of information.

Ke Guang understood the information first, but couldn't help but gasped: "Your Majesty? You go out of the palace every day, and you want to see this kid every day?"

Wei Zhongxian nodded, and then slowly said: "That's right, I think, this kid's background must not be simple, and our family's orders are not something that anyone dares to pretend to be. Since he dares to pretend, then he must have nothing to fear. , Come to think of it, there is only one person who can do anything——!"

Ke Guang's eyes widened first, and he let out a voice of surprise: "You mean? Your Majesty?"

"I'm afraid there will be no second person!"

Wei Zhongxian was also a little puzzled: "It's just that our family is not very clear about the relationship between this Zhang Haogu and the emperor. Today, our family went to see the emperor, and the emperor said that when the palace examination is over, let him stay in the palace. The capital, I, often go to him too!"

Ke Guangxian's eyeballs almost popped out.

"This Zhang Haogu, I'm afraid it really has an extraordinary background!"

Wei Zhongxian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly: "Anyway, this Zhang Haogu is definitely not simple!"

But Ke Guangxian couldn't help but said: "Yes, this piece of Ruitu also said that he has something to do with Shandong Xuezheng, and he has already done it to make up for Zhang Haogu's reputation!"

Wei Zhongxian pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "You go and tell Zhang Ruitu, the sum of this matter, you, me, Zhang Haogu, Zhang Ruitu, Wang Zhijian, and Shandong Xuezheng know about it, and absolutely no one else should know about it. Got it, do you understand?"

Ke Guang nodded first: "Understood!"

Eunuch Wei pondered for a while, and continued: "Also, you should investigate carefully to see if there are any loopholes, and if there are loopholes, find a way to fill them, understand?"

Ke Guangxian nodded again: "I understand!"

……

……

Zhang Haogu naturally didn't know that he had caused an uproar.

However, he also took many precautions.

If it doesn't work, run away quickly. After crossing, your strength has been greatly improved, and running is not a big problem.

The most important thing is to hold Zhu Youxiao's thigh tightly.

The carpenter emperor, as long as he keeps himself, nothing else is a problem.

There is no reason why Wei Zhongxian can't stay in the new house that Wei Zhongxian gave him.

Besides, Eunuch Wei thoughtfully arranged for a servant girl to attend to his food and daily life.

Of course, whether there are any spies here, Zhang Haogu, the feudal son of Dongchang, Jin Yiwei, reckons there must be some.

However, this is also Zhang Haogu's purpose.

Just have to.

If not, how could he send the wrong signal to Eunuch Wei?

The next day, it was just dawn.

Zhang Haogu found himself getting more and more lazy, sleeping until the sun rose every day.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao came, Zhang Haogu knew about it.

"Brother Zhu, why is it so early?"

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "It's getting late, brother Zhang, I have already prepared all the materials you told me yesterday. Look, when will we start making clockwork?"

Zhang Haogu couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

But he muttered in his heart: "So fast?"

After all is the emperor.

Before Zhang Haogu could react, he saw Zhu Youxiao order a group of guards to start unloading.

"Could it be that I plan to set up a blast furnace in my yard to make steel?" Zhang Haogu suddenly felt his teeth ache. This is the house that Eunuch Wei gave him only yesterday.

"Exactly!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Brother Zhang, you have a house!"

Zhang Haogu couldn't help coughing, and then said: "Brother Zhu, it's not natural for you to do this. My house will be dusty if you make it gray. It's not beautiful. What's more, if you want to Steelmaking, my small house is not enough. Thinking about it, Brother Zhu probably doesn’t just want a clockwork frog. If he wants to make wooden cows and horses, he needs a lot of steel. Why don’t we change to another place? ?”

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "That's true, it's not good if it gets dirty, Brother Zhang, what do you think is a better place?"

Zhang Haogu thought for a while: "It's best to rely on the river and have water. The steel is tempered, and it still needs to be cooled with water to cool down."

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Then put it in Yongding River. I'll find someone to get a piece of land. Brother Zhang, tell me what else you want!"

Zhang Haogu carefully recalled the knowledge in the textbook.

Then roughly said the required geographical location.

"I can send someone to do it!"

While talking, Zhu Youxiao rubbed his hands excitedly: "To be honest, I still really want to get this clockwork frog out quickly!"

But Zhang Haogu smiled, and said slowly: "Brother Zhu, speaking of it, this clockwork frog is just an inferior car, but you have seen that steel-driven car, which can move forward automatically without a horse. If the speed is faster, it will be faster than a war horse?"

"Is there such a thing?" Zhu Youxiao suddenly became interested.

Zhang Haogu also found out Zhu Youxiao's temper.

Young people are full of curiosity about new things.

For the things he is interested in, he goes all out, strives for excellence, works hard, is serious and focused.

"Brother Zhu, don't worry. This thing requires a lot of money. It requires more steel and more calculations. Brother Zhu, don't worry. Right now, we still have to send this out first." Make a frog, everything is difficult at the beginning, we can take our time!!"

"It's a pole, it's a pole!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded quickly: "
