I made Daqin a prosperous world

Chapter 21

Yichun Palace, also known as Qinli Palace.

Located in Yichun Garden, a royal garden in the southeast of Xianyang City, there are luxuriant trees and flowers. Although it is the winter season, you can often see green bamboos and yellow flowers accompanied by mountains and rivers.

It was the residence of Hu Hai, the No. 18 son of the First Emperor Yingzheng. At this time, Hu Hai was sitting cross-legged in the green bamboo courtyard, writing with his head down and a pen in his hand.

"The Eighteenth Prince's writing skills are getting stronger and stronger," the person sitting across from him suddenly said, with a hint of sinister in his voice.

Hu Hai looked up and saw that he had a handsome face, a high nose bridge, and a seven-point resemblance between Ying Zheng's eyes and brows, but his red pupils looked a little weird.

Hu Hai stopped writing and said, "That's what Master taught me well."

"Your Majesty let the old slave teach the eighteenth generation to write, it is the duty of the old slave."

Talking about Yingzheng, the master and servant couldn't help showing a strange look. Seeing Zhao Gao's words with resentment, Hu Hai looked at him, clearly seeing that each of them had something on their minds.

Hu Hai suddenly stood up and asked, "Master, do you know what your father is doing recently? Hai'er hasn't seen your father come to Yichun Garden for a long time."

Zhao Gao frowned, sighed and said: "In the past few days, Your Majesty has been served by Meng Shangqing, and this old servant knows very little about it."

Hu Hai picked up the scissors and trimmed the branches and leaves in the pot, and whispered in his ear: "Really, Hai remembers that Master secretly supported an organization..."

Zhao Gao looked at Hu Hai's back, a ghostly look flashed across his face, and said, "Aren't the Eighteenth Princes going to be content with the status quo?"

Hu Hai shrank his bewitching red pupils, turned around and said with a smile: "Everyone knows that it's not easy to be young, not to mention that everyone inside and outside Xianyang doesn't know that the eighteenth generation likes to have fun, so how can we talk about being content with the status quo."

Zhao Gao cupped his hands suddenly and said: "Your Majesty has mostly recovered from the root cause of his illness because he met the Immortal Monarch. What will happen in the future... I am afraid that this old slave is a bit uncertain."

Hu Hai changed the subject and said: "Brother was sent to supervise the Mengtian army because he contradicted the emperor, if he establishes friendship with the Meng family because of this..."

The corner of Zhao Gao's mouth twitched suddenly, and he squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "The eighteenth sons don't need to worry, the Meng family has been loyal for generations, and they are only loyal to His Majesty."

Hu Hai shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, the Emperor Father agreed to go with Hai on this hunting tour, but in the end he left me in Xianyang."

Zhao Gao's expression changed, and there was a rippling in his heart, if the eldest son Fusu could be recalled, how could Meng Yi's hatred be avenged.

However, he has taught the eighteenth son Hu Hai for many years, and his ability is indeed far worse than that of Fu Su, so he made a plan and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's heirs only love the eighteenth son, if the son's performance can surpass the eldest son, Not necessarily without a glimmer of hope.”

Hu Hai shook his head helplessly, and said: "Father's heart is as elusive as the stars in the sky. It is just a fool's dream to want to surpass big brother with Hai's ability."

Zhao Gao's expression changed, and he suddenly said: "As far as the empire is concerned, if you want to monopolize power on yourself, the biggest obstacle is the blood relatives."

Hu Hai's expression changed, and he couldn't help feeling turmoil in his heart. He said with some doubts: "With the eldest brother's temperament, if that day really comes, Hai also believes that the eldest brother will not ignore the kindness of the blood."

Zhao Gao sneered first, then sighed and said: "According to the report from the trap of the old slave, His Majesty's will left Xianyang City three days ago through the hands of Meng Shangqing."

Hu Hai was startled in his heart, Xianyang was full of the shadow of his father, how did the master manage to cultivate power secretly without being detected by his father.

Hu Hai shook his head again and denied: "Impossible, with Father's means, it is impossible not to notice it, but even so, why did Father let it go..."

Seeing the change in Hu Hai's expression, Zhao Gao's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "Hey, the eighteenth prince doesn't need to worry too much, the forces in the world are still out of the eyes of His Majesty and his old man."

Hu Hai was taken aback when he heard the words, Jianghu forces?

Seeing that Hu Hai's mind was shaken, Zhao Gao smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, moved his body, and suddenly lowered his head and whispered in his ear: "The Immortal Lord is now highly appreciated by His Majesty, if the son can get his help, it may not be impossible..."

Hu Hai's heart was shaken, and the deeply buried seed in his heart was like nectar, sprouting and growing with a glimmer of hope.

……

"I always feel weird recently. Could it be that I was poisoned by carbon monoxide?" Li Yu couldn't help but shook his head in self-deprecating manner.

Feng Yansheng, the governor next to him, heard the words, and asked with some doubts: "Your Majesty, what is carbon monoxide?"

It's no wonder that Feng Yansheng turned into a curious baby, but he followed Li Yu to supervise the construction of a new foundry in the past few days. The knowledge Li Yu casually uttered made Feng Yansheng, who was a craftsman, ask questions whenever he had doubts.

Why is Sea Salt Needed in the Quenching Stage of the Foundry Line?
Why does the heating furnace need to add a blower port to install the water wheel?

Why is this foundry built near a river?
And Li Yu's way to answer these questions is to directly lead a group of blacksmith supervisors around the built foundry to get started.

In Li Yu's five-character mantra, it is: practice brings true knowledge.

For the 50-year-old mansion beside him, Li Yu was quite helpless, but he also enjoyed it. He pointed to the heating furnace and said with a smile: "Do you see the smoke and dust on it? When charcoal is burned, it does not completely turn into an open flame for calcination. Jinshi, a part of the charcoal is directly turned into gas due to heating, and this part of the gas is carbon monoxide.”

Supervisor Feng Yansheng looked confused, and Li Yu couldn't help picking up a piece of charcoal next to him and said: "There is a component called oxygen in the air we breathe, which is why the temperature of the charcoal fire rises after you add a bellows. Oxygen makes the charcoal burn, and the two have some kind of unnatural intermingling..."

Li Yu suddenly shook his head, paused and said: "Yes, this Marquis is wasting your tongue, Mr. Feng just needs to know that this thing is just like your farting, if you suck too much, it will make you dizzy and even become an idiot Or die."

Seeing that Li Yu had no intention of speaking, everyone present no matter whether they understood or not, they all nodded.

Feng Yansheng said: "Your Majesty, the heating furnace uses a water wheel to continuously heat, and according to the situation, the bellows is used for manual heating, and charcoal is added after it is ground into powder. It can indeed melt gold and stone called iron, and sea salt melts water. Afterwards, it is indeed as you said, it is easier to cool down, less likely to break, and the hardness is also higher. If this iron object can be widely used, it will be lighter than the copper soldier, and the combat effectiveness of the army will be increased by at least [-]%."

Li Yu smiled and said nothing, more than [-]% of the combat power, if forged steel can be formed in the future, facing the foreign enemies at this time in hand-to-hand combat, it is like chopping the opponent's weapons like vegetables. Of course, it is not okay to chop people like vegetables question.

Immediately, he went straight to the topic and said, "Have the twenty sets of armor and weapons requested by the Marquis been completed?"

Feng Yansheng suddenly hesitated when he heard the words: "Your Majesty, the imperial law says that you can't embrace soldiers and hold weapons for personal gain. If your Majesty blames you, the officials will not be able to hold you back."

Li Yu patted Feng Yansheng's shoulder lightly, and said with a smile: "Lord Feng, don't worry, these twenty sets of armor are prepared for His Majesty, you just wait for the reward."

Feng Yansheng was overjoyed when he heard the words, his expression changed, and he bowed and said: "Thank you Xianjunhou for promoting."

　Jinshi was a general term used to summarize ore at that time, not gold
