Chapter 139 Iron Smelting ([-])

Lan Chu was even more touched when he heard it: "The prince's words now really make this concubine look at me with admiration."

Qiao Yurong laughed: "In the future, there will be many days when you will admire him with admiration."

Lan Chu smiled lightly, with a look of happiness on his face.

My lord, this is really great!
Qiao Yurong finished the Yuzhen porridge in one gulp, grabbed the hibiscus cake on the table, and said, "I still have something to do, the mansion will take care of it for you."

Lan Chu reluctantly sends Zhu Yurong out of the house.

As soon as Qiao Yurong went out, Eunuch Mo and others accompanied him. A group of twenty or so people were brought by Eunuch Mo to a wasteland in the eastern outskirts of Beiyang City.

There are no people in the vicinity for more than ten miles. There are a few large and dilapidated sheds, which are old and dilapidated. It seems that they have not been lived in for a long time. Pieces and pieces in the wasteland.

"This is the iron smelting workshop?" Qiao Yurong opened his eyes and couldn't believe it. This is the iron smelting workshop in Beiyang City. The dilapidated one is unusable at all.

Eunuch Mo reported: "My lord, this iron smelting workshop has been vacant for five years, and it is reasonable to do so now."

Qiao Yurong was taken aback when he heard that.

Yes!

The original owner ate, drank and played all day long in the Northland for five years, so he would not care about these things. It is indeed reasonable for the iron smelting workshop to become like this.

Damn the original owner!

Her mother is wiping your ass every day.

Qiao Yurong frowned and said: "Old Mo, hurry up and find someone to start using the iron smelting workshop within three days at the earliest, and find the blacksmith in the city as soon as possible."

As Qiao Yurong spoke, a sudden inspiration struck him: "By the way, later on, when you ask Yao Yong to go to the refugee huts outside the city, there must be many blacksmiths there. If they can find them all, they don't have to worry about food and lodging. There is also a monthly payment of two hundred Wen."

After hearing the words, Eunuch Mo asked suspiciously: "But my lord, there may be quite a few blacksmiths among the refugees, do you want to recruit them?"

"Everyone!" Zhu Yurong said decisively: "My king's iron smelting workshop will be very large."

In his previous life, Northeast Iron and Steel was famous. In this place, although Qiao Yurong couldn't build a huge iron factory like the modern one, the scale is still very large.

Just dozens of blacksmiths are not enough, probably hundreds of people are enough.

"But there are so many people..." Eunuch Mo wondered, "If they have family members, these slaves are not easy to arrange."

If blacksmiths work for them, is it possible that they still have to live in refugee huts?
But if they take care of them, it's impossible for these blacksmiths to leave their families in the refugee huts, right?

Including family members, where can we find such a spacious place for so many people to live in?

Eunuch Mo felt that his lordship was a little unreliable in doing things.

Qiao Yurong thought about it and it was true. There are staff dormitories in modern times, but there were none in ancient times.

Qiao Yurong groaned for a while, then his brows became firm, and he looked at the open space with a radius of more than ten miles, pointing to an open space and said: "Old Mo, not only the blacksmith, but also all the craftsmen in the city have come together to build a house here. A common dormitory, packed together with the iron smelting workshop, when the time comes, these new houses built will be the residences of the blacksmiths in the iron smelting workshop. Fortunately, they moved in, including their families, too."

Eunuch Mo's brows tightened even more when he heard this: "My lord, with so many people living in, wouldn't the house have to be very big, and it took a long time to build such a big house."
