Sheng Chong and Abandoned Concubine: The Sixth Miss Doctor

Chapter 400 Finding a Fight
Although the fried steel method directly obtains low-grade steel, which greatly reduces the forging time of [-] steel smelting compared with the previous block smelting method, but judging from the needs of the entire military camp, the speed is still very slow. After all, craftsmen are limited, and mature craftsmen are even more limited .

Zhou Qishan was about to cry, he had never been so moved, although he was the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, he was actually made from the bottom. Greatly increased Dazhou's steel production and equipped the army with a large number of weapons, so he was promoted by the emperor exceptionally.

Now listening to Xu Lingyue's talk, he feels that his position as the left servant of the Ministry of Industry should be given to Miss Xu.

Suddenly a flash of light flashed in his mind, this girl Xu saw the shortcomings of the steel frying method, is there a way to improve it?

His eyes were shining, and he moved closer to Xu Lingyue as if he saw a treasure, and with a "snap", a dead branch was pulled out.

Zhou Qishan was startled, turned his head to meet Ming Yi's piercing gaze, quickly apologized, and stepped back a little, "Miss Xu, please give me your advice?"

After speaking, he immediately added: "Miss Xu, don't worry, the imperial court has rewards for those who provide inventions, whether it is money or official positions, there is a practice."

He looked at Ming Yi, "As the sixth prince testifies, I will never occupy Miss Xu's invention."

He thought of something, and smiled at Ming Yi: "If Miss Xu's method is suitable, I am afraid that there will be no need for everyone to compete publicly as His Highness suggested, and the next official can make a decision to use Miss Xu's method."

What Ming Yi talked to him before was about open competition, whoever has a good steelmaking method and can get the right to operate the steel quickly, abundantly and well.

Of course, it is compared among those candidates who are eligible to participate in the competition.

After all, there are also a lot of iron mines in Dazhou, and the imperial court can't manage them all, and it is easy to cause many disadvantages. Therefore, the courtiers suggested that the noble family can help the imperial court to manage them and obtain the right to mine and operate them. After thinking about it, the emperor thought about it. Just approve.

And Zhou Qishan, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, has a great say in deciding who will replace the imperial court in managing the iron mines, even surpassing the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He can directly write memorials to the emperor, and the emperor will basically adopt his suggestions.

Ming Yi looked at Xu Lingyue, "You don't have to say anything if you don't want to."

Xu Lingyue said with a smile: "Actually, it's nothing. Mr. Zhou is an official who is willing to do practical things for the court and the people. Tell him there is nothing wrong."

And she didn't want Ming Yi to state this in front of the emperor, because it would cause a series of things, and then Ming Yi would be involved in the battle for the throne, and the crown prince and the eldest prince might have thoughts about him.

Seeing her saying this, Ming Yi didn't stop her, but only looked at Zhou Qishan with warning and threat.

Zhou Qishan suddenly felt a lot of pressure.

Xu Lingyue said: "Master Zhou, I can tell you, but I have a request."

Zhou Qishan immediately listened attentively.

"I hope Mr. Zhou will not reveal to others that I said it. You can say that it is the reform method that you thought of. If it doesn't work, you can also say that the sixth prince thought of it. In short, don't blame me. Secondly, I hope that the operation of the iron mine The right can be handed over to His Highness, so that I can go to the mine to investigate and guide the craftsmen to use local materials to build blast furnaces to smelt iron ore and then smelt steel. It is even possible to directly build an armory here to produce ordnance without having to return It is necessary to transport the steel back to the capital, and then go to the craftsman to supervise the production of ordnance, which is a waste of manpower and material resources."
