The first free king of Tang Dynasty

These words made Tang Sufan's mouth twitch warmly.

Unexpectedly, the old Uncle Wang, who has always been carefree, faced such an official position that ordinary people could not refuse, the first thing he thought about was whether he could find a blacksmith he could find.

Next, Li Shimin hurriedly listened to Tang Sufan's words.

"Old Uncle Wang, if... if there is a better method here, do you think you can forge better iron than your hundred-hammer iron?"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up next to him, and he knew that this bastard was really hiding it.

Finally shake out!

Although I don't know why Su Fan said this, old Uncle Wang frowned, spread his hands and said——

"Su Fan, this...I'm afraid it won't work...Think about it, even if there is a way, there's no way for us to think about it now."

Tang Sufan nodded, naturally he knew that the Tang government's control over iron materials is very strict.

As a result, when he first returned to Chang'an, the business in Uncle Wang's shop was bleak.

At this time, Li Shimin asked excitedly.

"Su Fan, is it possible that you still have a strange way to forge iron that is better than five hot and four cold?"

Tang Sufan frowned thoughtfully.

"Yes, there is, and this method is probably several levels better than the hundred-hammer iron mentioned by Old Wang Uncle before. It can also be said to be steel in the true sense."

But he quickly shook his head.

"However, I don't know anything about blacksmithing. Even though I know a little bit, it needs an insider like Uncle Wang to study it."

What Tang Sufan said was naturally not half false.

Although there are better records in his "Tiangong Kaiwu", such as the method of frying steel, the method of melting steel, and the method of pouring steel, which was the peak of the Ming Dynasty.

But laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the way.

Yes, it doesn't mean that he will be able to do it right away.

Only with the help of Uncle Wang, there is hope that it can be done in a serious way.

Needless to say, the significance of iron to a country, if it can enhance the national strength of Datang, he is naturally obliged as a son-in-law.

"Hahahaha, good, very good!!"

Li Shimin's eyes were excited, he stopped pretending, and turned his head to tell Old Uncle Wang.

"Brother Wang, don't worry about the iron thing. If Brother Wang is willing to go to the Ministry of Industry, I will guarantee that there will be no shortage of iron."

Although there is a shortage of iron materials in the Tang Dynasty now, for this kind of military and national affairs that carry on the past and usher in the future, he is willing to tear down the beams and pillars of Li Shimin's Chengqing Palace and replace them with iron.

Finally, Tang Sufan thought about it.

I still feel like talking about the old Uncle Wang being an official.

"Old Li, it's better than this. It's not that I have to keep Old Uncle Wang, but the officialdom...it really doesn't suit Old Uncle Wang. From the fifth rank, it's really too big."

"However, if Uncle Wang is willing, I have a way..."

Tang Sufan's words continued, telling his solution.

"Let Old Uncle Wang get an official name in the Ministry of Industry first, not for other values, with less restrictions, and I will provide a way to find a place to study this better wrought iron process with the people from the Ministry of Industry."

"As for the shop, Old Uncle Wang is also open. When the method of steel is almost researched, and even actually worked out, then I will give the credit to Old Uncle Wang."

"In the end, Uncle Wang decides whether to open a shop or become an official in the Ministry of Industry, so it's up to him?"

Li Shimin nodded, it was indeed good.

How could he not know what Su Fan was thinking, the officialdom was indeed not the best way for this upright old brother Wang.

"Uncle Wang, what do you think?"

At this moment, Old Uncle Wang's face turned even redder by three points.

Hastily shirked: "No!"

"Su Fan, Uncle Wang understands, if your method succeeds, my old Wang can only do his best, how can I take the credit from you!"

Tang Sufan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he waved his hands first and said.

"Okay, Uncle Wang, whether this method can be used to research better iron is another matter. We will talk about it later. If we want to, let's try to see if we can get this iron out."

The development of iron is the avenue for the development of the dynasty. It can at least resist the invasion of foreign races.

Think of the notorious Wuhuluanhua in Chinese history before, and the Panzhen separatist regime in the late Tang Dynasty later.

Why can't we leave more power to exempt foreign criminals like this in the future?
Now, since history has been influenced by his little butterfly, why not do something serious and beneficial to the development of history.

After hearing this, Old Uncle Wang drank the wine in front of him, stomped the wine glass on the table, and agreed directly.

"Okay! Let's give it a try!"

In the end, the three of them clinked glasses together and had a good talk.

Here Li Shimin still pretended to be a "rich and idle man" and agreed to protect the official for the old uncle Wang.

When this matter really fell on Old Uncle Wang, Old Uncle Wang was so excited and nervous that he didn't eat any food.

It was decided to try the plow in the afternoon, but Old Uncle Wang found a way to find the cow, so he walked away excitedly, and agreed to meet in the field east of the village later.

Regarding this, Tang Sufan smiled provocatively.

It's a good thing for Old Uncle Wang.

After Old Uncle Wang left, Tang Sufan couldn't help saying.

"Lao Li, you should remember to get someone you can trust with regard to iron. Even if you get it out, you should know about it."

Li Shimin couldn't help giving this kid a blank look, nonsense, he Li Shimin didn't know about it, so Li Shimin shouldn't be the emperor.

After a few cups of wine, the food is full.

Weng and son-in-law went out directly.

After finally going to the palace, and today's good things, Li Shimin became more and more happy when he thought about it, and his steps were a bit high-spirited.

Xu De, who followed silently behind him, knew in his heart that he now understood why Mr. Tang had such high favor in His Majesty's heart.

This is the great plan of the country at every turn. In this world, how can anyone be as good as this Mr. Tang?

aside...

Old Uncle Wang, who was almost excited to go home just now, was completely hardened.

He almost opened the door with his feet, and then he heard a burst of "wailing" laughter.

"Hahahaha!!! Old lady! Old lady! Your man is going to be an official!!! Hahahaha!"

On the side, Aunt Wang, who happened to be mending clothes, was frightened by the sound and was suddenly pricked by a needle.

That complexion suddenly darkened fiercely, it was obvious that he was accumulating energy for Old Aunt Wang's astonishing River East lion roar.

But at this moment, Old Uncle Wang naturally didn't have the slightest sense of self-awareness, while laughing "defiantly" with his chest up and hysterical.

He quickly found the rod used to drive the cattle and ran away.

"Wang Datie!!! Your head..."

Before Aunt Wang finished scolding, old Uncle Wang had already slipped away, leaving only a rough, crazy laugh.

This is also old Uncle Wang dodged a catastrophe.

Otherwise, it is another family martial arts scene.

On the one hand, Aunt Wang, who knew that her man had already run away, blushed with anger.

He spat and cursed a few words furiously.

This bastard is now an official!

You don't even look in the mirror at your virtue, it's not like you're sleeping in a shop and daydreaming and you haven't woken up yet.

However, soon Aunt Wang's body froze.

The trial plow was in the field in the south of the village.

Although there is no heavy snow now, you can still see the snow that has not dissipated.

The ground, which has been frozen for several months, is now hardening.

Generally, spring plowing begins in February or even March, and most of the land now is deserted.

The plow over there is very fast, and old Uncle Liu's craftsmanship is naturally excellent. I heard that he will try the plow.

Uncle Liu followed with his son.
