Douluo: My dear grandson, come quickly, Grandpa, I am Titled Douluo

Chapter 47
"Okay, I'll get it now."

Aman didn't say anything, because he really couldn't come up with anything better than Roujiamo.

The blast furnace needs to continuously add firewood and supply air continuously.

Therefore, dozens of people have no time to eat at all.

It's just that the family members made some food together.

The men took advantage of the rotation break time to swallow the food three times, five times and two times.

Keep working.

Ye Tian gnawed on the dry food while counting the time.

It has been seven hours since I started practicing.

The ironmaking time was obviously beyond his expectation.

But since we have come here, we cannot give up halfway.

He secretly planned in his heart to pay the craftsmen some wages afterwards.

Ye Tian didn't know.

The two hundred gold soul coins he gave were left over from buying scrap iron.

Enough for half a month's wages for the craftsmen.

In a blink of an eye, it was late at night.

"The iron is out!"

"The iron is out!"

The old yellow head shouted excitedly.

Aman, who joined the team and was agitating the bellows, didn't care about agitating at the moment, and hurried forward.

"It really came out!"

"Young master!" Aman shouted excitedly.

"Out!"

The dozing Ye Tian was awakened by this excited voice.

Hurry up.

"Sure enough, I found that in the pre-buried discharge chute, red gold molten iron flowed out in moors."

Ye Tiandao: "The ones that come out first are all pig iron."

"Use this crucible first."

"Wait a while, change another crucible."

"Yes!" Aman nodded solemnly.

Time passed again.

It was approaching dawn.

The first blast furnace ironmaking was finally completed.

Ye Tian calculated the time.

A full nineteen hours.

It takes half as long as open hearth iron smelting.

"It stands to reason that blast furnace ironmaking will not take longer than open hearth ironmaking."

"Perhaps because the furnace is being refined for the first time, the furnace itself still needs a certain endothermic reaction."

Ye Tian guessed.

At this time, the slightly tired old Huangtou came over in shock, holding a piece of cut iron:

"Young master, what kind of iron making method is this... this... it's actually refined steel!"

The old yellow head has almost devoted himself to the blacksmith all his life.

Just by looking at the texture and weight, he can tell whether the iron is good or bad.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the old Huangtou would never believe it. The piece of fine steel in his hand has not been forged in any way.

Ye Tian smiled and pointed to the stove: "This method is called blast furnace ironmaking."

"Sure enough, high-end technology is often so simple and unpretentious!"

The old Huangtou sighed again.

Immediately there was another wry smile:
"However, high-end technology also has the troubles of high-end technology."

"This fine steel is hard, and it takes a lot of work to make objects."

"In addition, this blast furnace is used to make iron, and a furnace can produce seven or eight thousand catties of refined steel."

"Our Ingenuity Street, I'm afraid we won't be able to sell it in ten years, so much fine steel."

"It's okay."

Ye Tian waved his hand to attract Aman, and then said to the two of them:
"If you continue to be small blacksmiths, you will stay in Craftsmanship Street for the rest of your life."

"Do you want to follow me?"

"Of course, you are also a blacksmith, but your life will be completely different from now on."

Aman and Lao Huangtou looked at each other in blank dismay.

The old yellow head asked:

"Young master, can I use refined steel to forge weapons?"

At this age, I still work as a blacksmith.

If it is not a lack of money, it is pure love.

Old Huangtou belongs to the latter.

Ye Tian smiled: "Not only can you forge weapons, but you can also forge sickles and hammers."

"Sickle and hammer?" Old Huangtou was puzzled.

Ye Tian didn't explain much, and turned to look at Aman:
"How about you, President Aman? Are you willing to follow me?"

President Aman hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth, bowed and said:
"A real man was born between heaven and earth, he should ride the long wind and break the long waves!"

"I am willing to follow the young master!"

Aman is unwilling to be a blacksmith for the rest of his life.

He became a blacksmith only because his father was a blacksmith.

His baby has just been born.

After becoming a father, Aman only felt that the burden on him was even heavier.

Aman also wants to win a bright future for his children.

Although Aman's forging skills are not high, but he will come to work and show loyalty, so the blacksmiths around him all trust Aman.

He was elected as the president of the blacksmith branch of Jiangxin Street.Ye Tian also knew this, so he felt that Aman was a talented person and suitable for management.

As a blacksmith, he felt a little wronged.

Ye Tian took out a few bags of golden soul coins from his pocket.

These are what he wrote the book.

Ye Tian didn't count them carefully either, it was about five thousand.

Ye Tian threw it to Aman with all his brains.

"You take the money."

"Find a river where waterwheels can be built, first follow this blast furnace, and then build five more."

"Five seats?!" Aman's eyes widened, and he said with a wry smile, "Young master, is this too much?"

"On the west mountain of Wuhun City, there are not many criminals mining."

"If these five blast furnaces are used to smelt iron, the ore from the West Mountain will be transported here, and it may not be enough."

"What's more, this fine steel is expensive, it's not easy to sell! Young master, you can't make any money."

Xishan lacks criminals to open mines, Ye Tian silently wrote it down, and then Ye Tian looked serious:
"I'm doing academics, what money do I make?"

"You don't need to sell the smelted iron."

"You can find a hidden area along the river and build a warehouse. Throw all the smelted iron there."

"This..." Aman and the old yellow head looked at each other again.

Five thousand gold soul coins will be given out immediately.

And it's not for money, this young man is really rich and powerful!

"I have written down what the young master said, and I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

Aman bowed, and solemnly took the golden soul coin handed over by Ye Tian.

……

"Grandpa, the Xishan Iron Mine is being mined by criminals?"

The next day.

Ye Tian came to his grandfather's office and asked.

Ye Jianguo put down his work, stroked his beard and thought for a while:

"A few days ago, I read several cases of the Penalty Department. There were indeed some criminals with no background who were exiled there."

"Some criminals who want to reduce their sentence will also take the initiative to apply to mine in the mine."

"Where to open a mine, one year's work can be worth three years in prison."

"However, there are often spirit beasts there, and the mine is extremely heavy, and the death rate exceeds one-third in a year."

Ye Tian said with a tense smile: "This is too inhuman."

"Can Grandpa apply for the Pope's Palace and send troops to clean up the soul beasts?"

"This can be operated." Ye Jianguo nodded, shook his head and said:
"But Xiaotian, you also understand that, in fact, most of them are managers who carelessly ignore human lives."

"Those miners can't beat the soul beast, and they can't run?"

"There are so many people who will be eaten by soul beasts."

"These managers are too hateful." Ye Tian was filled with resentment.

"Since it was mentioned by you Xiaotian, grandpa is going to send a few cronies to investigate and eliminate this kind of random thinking by the way."

Ye Jianguo immediately took out a blank document and wrote it down.

Now that he is in a high position, there are some things that he does not need to do by himself.

"Xiaotian, why did you suddenly pay attention to the Xishan Mine?"

Ye Tiandao: "I heard that the amount of iron ore mined in the Xishan Mine has been unable to increase, so I want to improve it."

This caught Ye Jianguo's attention, he looked up in surprise and said, "Xiaotian, do you want to run the iron ore business?"

"Now Wuhundian is secretly carrying out the salt and iron monopoly policy within the jurisdiction of Wuhundian."

"Although it hasn't been announced yet, it will be within half a year."

"This policy was proposed by your grandfather."

"If you want to run some business, you can choose other areas."

"If you really want to start with iron ore, you can go to the province of Fasno."

Ye Jianguo presided over Fasino Province's educational affairs for ten years.

As a traveler, he naturally has the mind to make money.

In the province of Fasno, a lot of industries have also been saved.

Among them are several large mines that belong to Ye Jianguo.

The province of Fasino belongs to the administrative region of the Heaven Dou Empire, so naturally it is not within the scope of Wuhundian's policy implementation.

"Don't worry, I will never sell iron ore in the Wuhundian area."

Ye Tian really didn't intend to sell it.

Instead, they plan to use Wuhun City as the base camp for developing weapons.

As the holy city of Wuhun Temple, Wuhun City has a naturally high safety factor, so there is no need to worry about the destruction of the two empires.

Moreover, as a holy city.

Wuhun City has another advantage, that is the siphon of talents.

Leaving aside those hidden exceptions, most talents still expect to live in big cities with better conditions.

Obviously, Wuhun City has such conditions.

Therefore, Ye Tian is also preparing to place the weapon research and development center around Wuhun City.

Once the technology matures.

Then you can send craftsmen to study, and then go to the province of Fasno, where the price is cheap, to produce in small places.

Kill two birds with one stone.

"Since you don't choose to operate, why do you hold on to the iron ore?" Ye Jianguo wondered.

Ye Tiansa smiled and said, "Grandpa, I forgot again. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."

"What is a gun? Does it just mean a weapon?"

"No, this represents a cutting-edge weapon beyond the times!"

"We father and son, we can't just climb the peak within the Wuhundian system."

"You must also master your own armed forces."

"More importantly, have weapons that can deal with high-level soul masters!"
