Chapter 34 Coal Furnace
Chapter 52 Coal Stove

"Don't panic! How frizzy is it? All these years of polishing are in vain. Haste makes waste." Li Yan's heart was also shaken. He didn't want the young man who spoke just now to be His Majesty, and His Majesty personally asked him to build that thing. It seems that this thing is really not simple.

Since he is the Son of Heaven and has a profound royal background, maybe there is some amazing forging method, but that Mo Dao!I have never heard of Bailiandao before, and I really look forward to it. Thinking of this, Li Yan can't wait, and he doesn't care about the deposit at all.

Immediately, he ordered his apprentices in a hurry: "Take out all the iron and coal stones from the room in the backyard, and I will wipe them first..."

A few days later, a member of Pei's family rushed from Wenxi to Anyi to find Pei Qian and complained.

"Young master is bad! Our Pei family's coal mine has been taken away."

"What? The coal mine was robbed, who did it, the Baibo bandits? Didn't I write to ask you to deploy more manpower? Do you want to guard against them?"

"Yes, sir, it's the Baibo bandit, and Li Lenas is the leader. We have recruited more people, and we are always on guard. When they went north, there was nothing wrong with them. Who knew that when they brought the people south, they suddenly attacked us and rushed into us. The major mines started beating and robbing people, and those of us guarding the house and guarding the city are okay, but we are not opponents at all when we fight with them outside with swords and guns."

My family understands their situation best, so Pei Qian can't say much. After all, the family soldiers are not on the same level as these bandits, especially in the wild. Fortunately, Li Le didn't enter Wenxi County, which still has the Pei family. In the hands of the major families, if these scourges enter the city, it will be troublesome.

"Forget it, if the coal mine is gone, it will be gone. The emperor issued an imperial edict, and Li Le took advantage of it. It is impossible to get it back." It can only be silenced temporarily.

Li Le brought the first batch of people to Anyi, along with all the coal mines looted from Pei's family. There were many coal mines, one car after another, and it would be easy for Li Le to be carried by the relocated people.

"Your Majesty! I got the coal, how do I turn it into money?" Li Le returned to Anyi, rubbed his hands and went straight to the palace to find Liu Xie.

"No hurry, no hurry! It will be done soon." The stove was not ready, and Liu Xie didn't know if it was suitable for him to make briquettes.

While the two were talking, Hong Nan came in to report: "Your Majesty! Blacksmith Li from the north of the city has come, and he brought something strange."

Liu Xie hurriedly said: "I was talking, I didn't expect the blacksmith to be very fast, let him in quickly."

"Yes!"

Soon the sword king Li Yan was brought in, along with the iron stove that Liu Xie mentioned.

From the outside light, it is almost the same, but it is a bit ugly, and there are some bumps and unevenness at the joints, presumably it is not polished enough.

However, there is not much difference between what he thought, Liu Xie nodded and said: "It's okay! You go back and continue to build two, not too many, and get familiar with the process first. I will use two days to see the effect and see if there are any problems. If you need to improve and adjust, you will be notified. If it is feasible, I will send you two books on forging."

"It's Your Majesty!" Li Yan was taken down, and he was very relieved to receive Liu Xie's initial affirmation, especially with Liu Xie's promise. Excited.

Li Le asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty! It is this thing that can keep the coal mine alive and keep warm."

"Of course! But we need to make some briquettes first. You have someone pull the coal into my palace, and pick some yellow mud over here." Liu Xie sent Li Le and others away, and then ordered the guards to chop some branches and planks , Then ignite it and throw it into the stove, and soon a fire will be lit in the stove, and it will burn more and more vigorously.

"See, even if there is no coal, this thing can make fire indoors, and use wood to boil water for cooking, and the speed is fast and the cost is low."

Everyone didn't expect this little thing to have such a magical effect, they worshiped the emperor more and more, and they knew so much about how the emperor's head grew.

Soon the coal and loess were brought into the palace, and a flat land was found. Liu Xie wiped and added water to mix the coal and loess in a certain proportion, and then put the mixture into a wooden round bowl for drying. The round bowl is full and thick, and more than a dozen holes are evenly poked inside. Finally, it is placed on the sunny ground and turned upside down to remove the wooden round bowl. The briquettes are ready. It can be used after drying for a few days.

"This is what His Majesty said about the briquettes. It's so strange. The middle is full of holes. I don't know what it is for."

"Okay! Don't make wild guesses. After drying, you will know its purpose when you use it. Now follow me to make briquettes." Liu Xie said angrily, and made a fuss over a briquette.

After a few days, the briquettes were dried in the sun, and then slowly ignited in the furnace. The air inlet was well controlled, and it was really easy to use. It could keep the fire in the furnace, and it could be used whenever you wanted. The surroundings are extremely favorable for baking and getting heat.

Liu Xie, the emperor, wiped it himself, and sent one to Yang Feng, Han Xian, Li Le, Wang Yi, Wei Jin, Pei Qian and others for use. The powerful landlords followed suit one after another, and for a time the blacksmith shop was full of business and orders.

Then the powerful landlords of other cities followed suit and used this convenient thing, so coal became out of stock and became a sharp tool for making money. It was no longer just an auxiliary thing for iron and steel making, but became a necessity of life.

Therefore, Li Le is the happiest, vigorously develops coal mines, and vows to make the coal mining industry bigger and stronger.

And Li Yan was also called to the palace by Liu Xie, and he did not break his promise, and was going to explain the method of pouring steel and the method of making steel.

"Your Majesty, the method of pouring steel and the method of smelting steel can really increase the amount of steel in large quantities and forge a precious knife that cuts iron like mud." For a swordsman, there is nothing better than obtaining a precious knife and promoting the culture of the knife. attractive.

Looking at Li Yan's expression, Liu Xie nodded and said: "Of course! These are minor problems. The method of pouring steel can reduce loss and time, and refine batches of steel talents to make steel knives.

And this hundred-refined steel-making method can be refined into fine steel, which can be used to make the rare refined steel blade in the world. With a hundred-refined refined steel, it is easy to cut iron like mud. "

Li Yan was overjoyed and wanted to go back for the experiment, but Liu Xie stopped him and said, "Don't worry, you don't want to know how this cold forging works, what's the matter? This cold forging can strengthen the weapon to a higher level, Make it stronger, more resilient and resistant.”

exactly!There is also this cold forging, and I have to hold on to it. Li Yan looked at Liu Xie expectantly, but Liu Xie said with a smile: "This is not in a hurry. If you want to know this, first agree to my conditions, whether it is cold forging or pouring steel. Laws cannot be passed on to the outside world, and must be strictly kept secret by the court supervisor, so I want you and your iron shop to be included in the Shaofu Iron Shop, and your iron shop can only forge weapons for me from now on."
