Capital Datang

As soon as Li Yin's wedding date was announced, officials from the Ministry of Etiquette came to the door the next day to train him in wedding etiquette. But at this time, Concubine Yang called him into the palace, and the mother-in-law taught him a lesson for a long time, nothing more than telling him that in the future They are all married people, so they must be prudent in their conduct and conduct, and they can no longer be as nonsense as before.

The officials from the Ministry of Rites came again the next day, but Li Yin was dragged to the restaurant by Cheng Huailiang and his group to celebrate. Speaking of which, these boys are really crazy. Sleeping in it, waking up and drinking, ended up celebrating in a restaurant for three days and three nights. It wasn't until one of the guys got drunk that the comedy almost turned into a tragedy, and the carnival had to end.

Li Yin has not yet recovered from the carnival alcohol, the persevering official from the Ministry of Rites Chapter 88 iron smelting and steelmaking is here again, but God destined that his errand this time will be extremely difficult. Yin, of course Li Yin had to go, so he could only get on the carriage and drive away under the resentful eyes of the official of the Ministry of Rites...

In the next few days, Li Yin had no time to do etiquette training at all. Hejian Wang, Jiang Xia Wang, Li Ke and other people who were close to him lined up to entertain Li Yin. Let’s talk about the matters that Li Yin should pay attention to in his married life, and Princess Hejian and Princess Jiangxia even told Li Yin to treat his bride kindly, and not to have any knots because of the other party’s low birth, although their worries are superfluous. However, it moved Li Yin very much. Being able to say these words to him shows that people really treat him as a close junior.

After working for more than ten days in a row, Li Yin was finally free. The official from the Ministry of Rites was so excited that he could finally get the job done. He even sent someone to invite Li Min, saying that he was ordered by Duan Lun to help the Ministry of Industry improve the technology of iron and steel smelting.Capital Datang 88

Now the officials of the Ministry of Rituals will quit, thinking that I have come here to guard every day for more than ten days.People who came to Chapter 88 to smelt iron and steel to invite King Liang could not be offended by the Ministry of Rites, so they dared not stop them at all, but now your Ministry of Industry actually wants to rob people?We are all at the same level, and we in the Ministry of Rites don't need to be afraid of you, we should first come first and then talk first, okay?

The official from the Ministry of Rites felt dissatisfied, and immediately quarreled with someone from the Ministry of Industry. The official from the Ministry of Industry also obeyed Duan Lun's strict order, telling him to invite Li Yin over no matter what, so he refused to give in.The officials of the two ministries quarreled more and more fiercely in Li Yin's main hall, and in the end they didn't know who would strike first, anyway, the two had changed from a literary fight to a violent fight.

Although both of them were scribes, they were officials from the Ministry of Industry who came and went in the wind and rain every day.The body has been trained a long time ago, so with three punches and two kicks, he cleaned up the weak scholars in the Ministry of Rites.When Li Yin heard the report from his subordinates and came out to persuade the fight, the poor official from the Ministry of Rituals had already been carried away by the doctor. In desperation, Li Yin had to follow the people from the Ministry of Industry.

Last time, because of the patent law, Li Yin agreed to Duan Lun to help the Ministry of Industry improve the technology of iron and steel smelting.Originally, as soon as the patent law was passed, Duan Lun wanted to find Li Yin.Fulfilling the conditions promised to him at the beginning, but who knows that Li Yin is going to get married again, he also knows that Li Yin must be very busy, so he resisted not looking for Li Yin for more than ten days, until today he received the news , knowing that Li Yin is fine today.Then they sent someone to invite him.

Duan Lun had been waiting for Li Yin at the Ministry of Industry for a long time. As soon as he saw him coming in, he immediately dragged Li Yin to a large workshop behind the Ministry of Industry. This workshop is a bit special because the craftsmen inside are all of high grade official.They are all technical officials who were promoted to officials because of their superb skills, and the content of their work is to use their superb skills.Improvements to existing processes or technologies.It is equivalent to the research institute of later generations.Li Yin knew the existence of this big workshop the first time he came to the Ministry of Industry, but because of confidentiality reasons, even he, the prince, could not enter without Duan Lun's permission.

After entering this large workshop, Li Yin looked around curiously, and found that it occupies a very large area, and it is divided into many areas according to different industries. For example, what Li Yin saw included papermaking, construction, weaving and dyeing, and ceramics. Wait, there are as few as three or four people in each area, and as many as dozens of people, either busy or discussing, it looks like a very busy scene.

The smelting area that Li Yin and the others were going to was in the center, and it was still far away. Li Yin saw several tall furnaces standing there, and there seemed to be people walking on them.Li Yin knew that this was a blast furnace for making iron. The technology of blast furnace ironmaking had already appeared in the Han Dynasty, and it had developed into a very mature iron-smelting technology in the Tang Dynasty. Li Yin could improve this technology a lot. The key is to improve the current steelmaking technology.

"Jiao Xing, director of the Ministry of Industry, please refer to Master Shangshu!" The director in charge of the smelting area saw Duan Lun, and immediately ran up to salute. This director Jiao has gray hair and looks over 60 years old. He may have been smoked all year round. Liao, his two cloudy eyes are red, and his back is slightly bent, but he seems to be in good spirits.

"Master Jiao, you don't need to be polite!" Duan Lun laughed, and then pointed at Li Yin and introduced, "This is the famous Liang Wang Li Liulang. This time I came to help you improve the smelting technology."

Hearing that the other party turned out to be the King of Liang, Director Jiao was startled, and immediately bowed to salute, but when he heard that Li Yin came to help them improve the smelting technology, this old Jiao raised his eyebrows indiscernibly, and there was a hint of mystery in his eyes The look of disdain, but it didn't show at all on his face.

"Master Jiao, can you show me the blast furnace for iron smelting first?" Li Yin took a panoramic view of the other party's reaction, but he didn't point it out. Instead, he pointed to the blast furnace with a smile and said.

Hearing Li Yin's words, Lord Jiao was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile: "If Your Highness is interested, I will be honored!"

Chief Jiao led Li Yin and the others to the front of the blast furnace. As soon as he approached, Li Yin felt a wave of heat rushing towards his face. Looking at the smoke billowing above the blast furnace, it seemed that the fire inside was burning vigorously.

"Your Highness, this is the blast furnace used for smelting iron. We stack the fuel, iron ore, and limestone layer by layer. After igniting the fuel inside, we use a blower to blow air in from the bottom. When a certain furnace temperature is reached, the ore The iron inside is heated and turned into molten iron, which flows out from below. It is a very common pig iron. Now the coke that has just been delivered is being used to make iron, and the coke is used as a new fuel, so what we need to do now is to find out its nature , to facilitate large-scale application in the future.” Mr. Jiao didn’t know that the coke was made by Li Yin in front of him, so he introduced the coke in such detail.

"Hehe, Master Jiao, you may not know that this coke is His Highness's masterpiece." Hearing what Master Jiao said, Duan Lun said with a smile.

"Oh?" Chief Jiao glanced at Li Yin with some hesitation. He had also heard of Li Yin's name, and knew that the prince was good at making utensils. However, iron making is different from others. This is all real experience, isn't it? You can say that you can do it if you are smart, but judging by Li Yin's age, it is impossible for him to have any experience in ironmaking. That's why he looked so disdainful when he heard Li Yin came to guide them in ironmaking just now.

"Your Highness is a talented person. I don't know that the coke is made by His Highness, but I am laughing at you." Mr. Jiao said with a bow. As a craftsman who has been making iron all his life, he certainly knows that the appearance of coke is very important for iron smelting. Important, this coke has good air permeability and can support the stack pressure of a large amount of iron ore. The most important thing is that using coke to make iron can increase the furnace temperature, making the iron quality better and the iron output higher. And it wasn't like coal, which would make iron too brittle. It could be said to be the best fuel he had ever seen in his life.

"Hehe, it's okay!" Li Yin saw that Mr. Jiao immediately became more respectful towards him, and he felt quite proud. The other party's respect just now was only because of his status as a prince, and the respect now is only respect for his own talents. These two respects have completely different meanings.

"Boss Jiao, these should be used for blowing wind, right?" Li Yin pointed to the row of leather bags next to the blast furnace. And it is a few naive horses that provide power for the skin.Capital Datang 88

"Your Highness, this thing is called a water raft. It is indeed used for blowing wind. It is generally driven by water power, so it is called a water raft. However, the blast furnace here is only for experiments and does not really produce iron. , it is not used much, and there is no water source around here, so it is driven by horsepower, so it can also be called a horse row." Master Jiao stepped forward and introduced.

"Oh~, I have a question I want to ask Mr. Jiao. When making iron, is the temperature in the furnace as high as possible?" Li Yin said with a smile, although he can improve the blast furnace iron making. Not many, but there happened to be one right in front of us, and with this improvement, Master Jiao and his group of craftsmen could be shocked and let them know their talents, so that they could better command them in the subsequent steelmaking.

"Uh~" Chief Jiao was taken aback for a moment, he was still not used to Li Yin's leaping thinking, he just asked about the water drainage, why did he suddenly go to the furnace temperature?However, after all, he has been engaged in iron smelting all his life, so he opened his mouth to these questions, "His Royal Highness, if the furnace's fire resistance and cost are not considered, the higher the temperature of the furnace, the better. One of the biggest advantages of this kind of coke is that it burns at a higher temperature than charcoal, and it is also more resistant to burning."

After Li Yin heard the other party's answer, he laughed loudly and said, "Boss Jiao, since you know that the higher the temperature, the better, why do you blow cold wind into it? Isn't it like pouring cold air into a pot of boiling water?" Pour cold water, how could it make the furnace temperature inside reach the highest?"! ! !
