That's why Ying Zheng was worried.

  But now that Su Wen is here, he feels that he must have a way.

  Because in his heart, the national teacher is equivalent to the omnipotent immortal.

  Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Su Wen pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said.

  "I do have a way to greatly improve the riding skills of the Daqin cavalry in a very short period of time, so as to create an invincible iron cavalry."

  Hearing Su Wen's words, everyone including Ying Zheng was shocked.

  Although they all believed in Su Wen, they never expected him to think of a solution so quickly.

  Hearing Su Wen's reply, Ying Zheng asked impatiently.

  "The national teacher doesn't know how to do it?"

  Su Wen gave him a slight glance and said.

  "Why do you think the Xiongnu cavalry is stronger than my Daqin?"

  Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, then said.

  "Those Hu people are nomads and live on horses almost all their lives, so almost everyone there is a master equestrian."

  "And I, Daqin, are located in the plains and mountains. Although I practice diligently on weekdays, I can't compare to the Xiongnu."

  Hearing Ying Zheng's words, Su Wen nodded slightly and responded.

  "... so we don't have to use our weaknesses to the enemy's strengths, we can start from other aspects."

  "You should also know that no matter how we train our horsemanship, we can't compare to the Huns."

  "So we simply start with the equipment, so as to improve the strength of the Daqin cavalry in the shortest possible time."

  "equipment?"

  Hearing Su Wen's words, Ying Zheng felt a little confused.

  Su Wen thought about it and asked Ying Zheng.

  "I don't know how many hundred steels are in the Daqin treasury."

  Hearing Su Wen's words, Ying Zheng was stunned again.

  "Hundred Steelmaking?"

  He had never heard of this kind of thing, so he was a little stunned for a while.

  However, Su Wen did the same. In fact, he had already reacted from the moment he said it.

  The iron smelting technology in this era is still immature, and it is just a relatively primitive artificial blast furnace.

  The iron produced by it is of insufficient purity and is extremely rare.

  And the harder steelmaking finally appeared in the Western Han Dynasty.

  Thinking of this, he said towards Ying Zheng.

  "You can understand it as an extremely hard iron."

  "Extremely hard iron?"

  Ying Zheng knew about iron.

  But because of its extremely complicated casting process.

  Therefore, the output of the entire Daqin is not much.

  Even in the imperial palace, iron tools are rare.

  And what Su Wen said about steelmaking, he had never heard of it.

  Is it difficult to create an invincible cavalry, the key lies in this hundred steel?

  Su Wen nodded and said towards Ying Zheng.

  "Yes, you asked someone to bring me those pen and paper, and I'll write something."

  The iron smelting process of this era is really too rough.

  Fortunately, Su Wen has a lot of iron smelting technology in his hands.

  For now, the only thing that Daqin can do is to make a hundred steel.

  And Hundred Steelmaking is the key to greatly improve the Daqin cavalry. .

Chapter 144

  Hearing Su Wen's words, Ying Zheng was shocked at first, and then there was a hint of ecstasy on his face.

  Due to the technical conditions, the output of iron was extremely low in this era, so it was extremely precious.

  Therefore, almost all weapons and the like are now made of bronze.

  However, compared with iron, the material of bronze is much softer, so its applicability is not as good as that of iron.

  Listening to Su Wen now, that steelmaking is obviously much harder than iron.

  If it is used in weapons and equipment, it will greatly improve the combat capability of Daqin soldiers.

  Although he didn't know the refining method of Hundred Steel, it was obvious that Su Wen knew.

  He hurriedly said to the big eunuch beside him.

  "Quick, go get the pen and paper."

  "Yes, Your Majesty."

  Although paper has already appeared in Daqin, but for now, it is still an extremely luxurious thing, and non-aristocrats cannot use it.

  The reason, of course, is because the number is too small.

  Although Su Wen's papermaking process is extremely mature.

  But the entire Daqin now has only one paper mill in Pei County.

  As for the others, they are all under preparation now.

  So now it can be said that there is no market at all, except that there is enough paper available in Pei County.

  It can only be purchased at the Yongle Firm in Xian 050 Yang.

  And these things in Ying Zheng's hands were brought back before.

  It can be said that in terms of prosperity now, Pei County is definitely No.1 in the entire Daqin.

  Even Xianyang is now inferior to Peixian.

  And this is entirely due to Su Wen's credit.

  The eunuch didn't let everyone wait too long, and soon held a few white papers and a writing brush.

  In addition, he also asked someone to bring a square table and put it in front of Su Wen.

  In fact, in the past, bamboo slips and carving knives were generally used to record text.

  Since Su Wen invented paper, it is natural to have his matching brush, inkstone and square ink.

  Yantai and Fang Mo didn't talk about it for the time being.

  To say that this brush is actually Meng Tian's first creation.

  According to historical records, Qin Shi Huang ordered his prince Fusu and Meng Tian to build the Great Wall to protect the Xiongnu in the north, and Meng Tian took the rabbit feathers in the mountains to make a pen.

  It is also recorded in the Four Spectrums of the Study, that in the past, Meng Tian made a pen, with Tumu as the tube, deer hair as the column, and rabbit hair as the quilt. This is called Canghao.

  Therefore, many people call Meng Tian the ancestor of the brush.

  However, for now, Meng Tian has not yet made a brush, so Su Wen made it himself.

  As for the more common ballpoint pen in modern times, the fountain pen.

  He can't figure it out yet, after all, the craftsmanship of this era is really bad.

  Fortunately, Su Wen learned calligraphy in modern times, so he can write well.

  He reached for the paper and laid it flat on the square table.

  Then he was ready to pick up the inkstone on the table to grind ink.

  "National teacher, let me come."

  Ying Zheng stood up, walked to Su Wen's side, and took the lead in picking up the inkstone and Fang Mo on the table.

  "Your Majesty, why don't you..."

  In fact, the eunuch wanted to help Su Wen grind ink.

  But this kind of new thing, although he has seen it before.

  But because it is too precious, I have never been able to touch it, so I naturally don't know how to do it.

  And Ying Zheng was reluctant to use these things on weekdays, so he kept them all the time.

  It sounds incredible for the emperor to help others grind ink.

  But Ying Zheng did just that.

  It is surprising that those ministers thought it was right.

  Because they knew very well that Su Wen was going to come up with something that could change the entire Daqin fairy family again.

  Su Wen smiled at him and did not refuse.

  After Ying Zheng finished grinding the ink, Su Wen immediately began to concentrate on writing.

  Ying Zheng, on the other hand, stood beside Su Wen expectantly and did not move.

  Finally, Su Wen put down the brush in his hand and said to Ying Zheng.

  "This records the refining method of Hundred Steelmaking, which will be handed over to the craftsmen later."

  In fact, the iron in Daqin is pig iron.
