"Haha, let's talk about our iron smelting. As you say, using coal to smelt iron is much redder than charcoal. It saves time and effort, and the iron produced is even better, right?"
Changsun Wugou finally couldn't help but ask about Ye Tie.
Chu Feng said in his heart: "Hey, you can't bear it anymore, right? Then I'll tell you about the benefits of using coal to smelt iron."
"Uncle, I don't dare to hide anything. I know a skill called steel frying. Because the heat of coal is high, it is easy to turn pig iron directly into molten iron. Then by constantly stirring the molten iron, and Use a blast furnace to blow air into the molten iron and sprinkle some concentrate powder to reduce the carbon content in the molten iron and finally turn the molten iron into steel. This kind of steel is no less than what you call 100% steel-making, and it can even produce some pure steel. , better than Baidu Steelmaking!”
Chu Feng told everything he knew. As for the actual operation, he was definitely not good at it. For example, he didn't know how much concentrate powder to sprinkle!
He said in his heart: Anyway, the old iron-smelting craftsmen have their own control, and I am just a commander. It even just serves as a guide! Specific operations still require workers to do it.
"Using pig iron directly? Isn't it a bit risky? The cost is a bit high."
Changsun Wugu stroked his beard and muttered softly.
"Then just use coal to refine pig iron, and then use the pig iron to fry steel. It just requires two steps."
Chu Feng couldn't help but continue.
"Let's do this. Let's just use pig iron to fry steel as you said. If it succeeds and we can really make hard steel, then we will use pig iron to make steel directly from now on. After all, Shanglin County is too small. Okay, that little bit of coal is really not much."
After Changsun Wugao thought about it, he said softly.
"Wrong, uncle, you don't know something. There is indeed not much coal that will naturally emerge from the ground, but there is still a lot of coal underground. In the future, I will definitely arrange people to search for it in other places in Daliang, and I will definitely find a lot of coal. Coal, by then, charcoal will only be used for barbecue.”
Chu Feng said with a chuckle.
But I thought in my heart: "If I find a lot of coal, am I polluting the beams? However, it can reduce charcoal and seems to protect the trees."
"Actually, I have seen this kind of coal in iron mines in other places. However, I didn't mine it because I didn't know its use. If it is really useful in the future, it can be mined."
Changsun Wugu stroked his beard and couldn't help but add something, which also confirmed the authenticity of Chu Feng's words.
"Haha, the coal in Shanglin County is enough for the time being. Let's talk about the share sharing of this iron smelting business. Mr. Chu, how do you think it should be divided?"
Mr. Situ looked at Chu Feng seriously and asked.
"Grandpa Situ is here on behalf of Your Majesty, right?"
Chu Feng suddenly asked.
Everyone was stunned, and then Mr. Situ said with a smile: "Young boy Chu, you are really smart, you can think of all this. Yes, I am your majesty's teacher, so I should share his worries."
Chu Feng said in his heart: "Is this difficult to guess? You are not Wu Xun, and my godfather will never ask you to cooperate. And Changsun Wugu is too powerful, and he will never ask you, an elegant old man, to cooperate. You are most likely His Majesty!
Because His Majesty doesn't want to show up to do business, but he doesn't want to lose this new type of coal business. In particular, it can also refine steel.
It seems that the godfather and the eldest grandson Wugou do not dare to challenge the royal authority and conceal the existence of coal from the emperor!
Alas, imperial power is such a damn good thing! Otherwise, when I become the consort, I will also sit in that position...
Bah, bah, a fool sits in that position. It's so damn hard work: attending the morning court, correcting memorials, controlling civil and military ministers, and finally there is intrigue in the palace. However, being able to have many concubines, hehe, is both tiring and happy! "
"Boy Chu, don't be in a daze. I also like you very much. Otherwise, I think your Majesty will take 70%, and the remaining 30% will be given to each of your three families with 10%. How about that?"
Mr. Situ asked with a smile.
Chu Feng couldn't help but glance at his godfather and eldest grandson Wugou. He thought they would be helpless, but unexpectedly, they looked natural and seemed happy. He said in his heart: "Damn it, is the imperial power so powerful? It seems that they don't want to spend any money, they just want to get most of it! But what should I do? Is it possible that I can still object? People say it, the whole world is like this What should I do about others?”
"Haha, since my uncle and godfather have no objections, I am naturally very happy."
Chu Feng said with a chuckle, thinking in his heart: "10% will make 10%, right? Anyway, I am just a guide. When steel refining becomes normal in the future, I will just take the money. 10% seems to be a lot! And in the future Do more coal business and leave the iron smelting business to Changsun Wugou and the others."
"Since everyone agrees, let's talk about their respective tasks and responsibilities."
Mr. Situ was very decisive and went straight to the core.
"It's very simple. Uncle Changsun is responsible for the supply of pig iron, godfather is responsible for business management and sales of finished products, and the boy is responsible for steel frying technology and coal supply, as well as the iron smelting site. As for the old man, he is responsible for inspecting product quality."
Chu Feng had already had these plans in mind, so he simply stated them all.
Once again, the three big guys were impressed, and they said to themselves: "This guy can even do business so neatly. He is indeed a great talent."
"Okay, this is the arrangement for the time being. After discussing for so long, everyone must be hungry."
Ping Nanhou said, clapped his hands, and soon the maid came in with wine and food.
There are actually stir-fry dishes, but the heat and taste are not quite there yet, but they are already pretty good. It seems that the Chen family’s cook has studied hard.
Even the low-alcohol grain wine made Chu Feng stagger around after drinking it. However, when he was supported by Shuang'er and walked out of Pingnanhou Mansion, his eyes suddenly sobered up.
"Haha, if I don't pretend to be drunk, my godfather and the others will never let me go easily."
Chu Feng chuckled and said, because during the banquet, Changsun Wugou alone asked him about the Earth God six or seven times without leaving any trace. Mr. Situ also intentionally or unintentionally asked about the existence of his immortal master! It seems that they are still determined to become immortals. Maybe His Majesty doesn’t want to give up!
However, Chu Feng did not regret pretending to be a ghost. Because of his pretense, he gained the hearts and minds of the people of Shanglin County, and gave the people of Shanglin County the determination and courage to fight against the black soil, and inspired the people to move forward bravely!
Moreover, there was an unexpected gain, that is, Zhang Captou sincerely surrendered.
The night before yesterday, Zhang Captou quietly found him and confessed about Luo Gui Yupei. In fact, the jade pendant was secretly placed in the Cheng family of Wu County by Wang Ying, an official from the Ministry of Punishment!
This is what Zhang Captou saw accidentally.
At that time, Zhang Captou did not expose his superior Wang Ying, but instead listened to Wang Ying's words and handed the jade pendant directly to Chu Feng. Let Chu Feng find Luo Gui's bad luck.
But later I discovered that Mr. Chu was sincere for the people and had powerful magic, so he decided not to hide it anymore. He sincerely took refuge in Chu Feng.
This made Chu Feng feel more and more accomplished in pretending to be a ghost. I even thought about getting a hot air balloon and going for a walk in the sky.
When the time comes, he will say that he has received news from the immortal master...
