The problem of iron ore smelting has been a problem that every craftsman has been unable to overcome since the advent of iron ore. He will never think that just a simple meal can solve the headaches for countless people.
Of course, he didn't dare to say this. After all, if he doubted the emperor, he would be beheaded, and he didn't want to live.
How did he know that Chen Nan was in a very high position at this time, and his smelting technology was very advanced in this world. He had not thought of a suitable method in the morning, but he was suffering from the lack of suitable fuel. Now with charcoal fire, this It’s easy to heat up.
Soon, a shirtless blacksmith hurried over and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I heard that you have developed a method of refining ore?"
"Haha, please be patient, old man, come and see!" Chen Nan waved his hand, and the little eunuch next to him placed two charcoal fires on the table.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the charcoal, but then they moved away. The blacksmith looked at the black charcoal with a puzzled look on his face: "Your Majesty, what are these black things?"
"This thing is called charcoal fire. Let me teach you." As he said that, he walked into the courtyard and gave the order. A group of powerful guards began to work. After a while, he collected a lot of charcoal. .
Then, he ordered people to melt the iron ore with wood and wood. It didn't take long for the color of the iron ore liquid to become much brighter, which represented a higher degree of purity.
"You try it first."
Half an hour later, a brand new sword appeared in the hands of the master. When the sword took shape, everyone's eyes lit up. Everyone was a skilled craftsman and could tell whether it was good or bad at a glance.
"Here, use this sword to chop off your sword." Chen Nan casually pointed at a guard. The guard took the sword, put it on the table, and chopped it down with one strike.
"Ding." There was a sound of metal collision, and the long sword of the forbidden soldier was directly split into two halves, but the new long sword was not damaged at all, and even the blade was not bent.
"Good thing, with this thing, the emperor can unify the country and the world!" Zhao Lide was so excited that he knelt on the ground and said loudly.
The most excited person is Chen Nan. This result was already within his expectation. Even in his previous life, he had never seen such a good work.
"Okay, don't move. This sword is for you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The guard received the new weapon, excited, and looked at him with eyes filled with admiration.
"Such a hard metal is enough for forging parts."
"Your Majesty, I have something to say." Zhao Lide bowed again before he could speak.
"Zhao Aiqing, please get up first."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I thought that these fine golds are difficult to purify and would be impossible to produce in large quantities. I think these metals can be used in weapons to enhance our strength."
Chen Nan turned his eyes, and all the blacksmiths nodded, while the eyes of the surrounding guards lit up. As the emperor's personal guards, any good weapons should be given to them as soon as possible.
"Then it's settled. Divide these pure materials into two parts. One part will be used to make weapons, and the other part will be used to make Xuanyuan plows in case of emergency."
"As commanded."
He has been staying in the workshop, waiting for the finished curved shaft plow, and the result is similar to the one in the middle school textbook.
"Zhao Aiqing, we need to step up the production of weapons and farming tools. This time is very tight. Let them do it well and I will reward them well."
"Yeah, I'll go and keep an eye on it right now." Chen Nan nodded, ordered someone to move the hoe, left the workshop, and went straight to the land where the old couple farmed.
"Old man, I'm back."
"Your Majesty, I would like to send you my regards..."
"Old man, I've told you many times, you don't have to kneel down when you see me."
"Your Majesty, how can this happen? What are you—"
"Okay, I'm here this time, but I have something to give you. Take a look."
Chen Nan smiled slightly and pointed to a scimitar carried on the shoulders of the guards, who immediately rushed forward.
"Your Majesty, I am blind and cannot recognize what this is."
"Haha, it doesn't matter if you can't see it. I will soon like it. Come on, let me see what this is."
None of these guards knew how to use it. Under Chen Nan's guidance, it was built not long after.
"Your Majesty, are these planting tools?"
"Yeah, what do you think of these farm tools?"
"Okay, okay, one acre of land can be planted in one day." The old man shouted excitedly, and many villagers around him gathered around and looked at him curiously.
They really wanted to go over and have a look, but due to the presence of the Imperial Guards, they couldn't get close even if they had a hundred courages. This was a good opportunity, so Chen Nan quickly let the Imperial Guards pass.
"Everyone, this is a new plow I developed. You have also seen it. With it, our farming efficiency will be greatly improved. Do you want to try it?"
"think!"
"That's good. I have given this set of farm tools to my husband. If you two want to use it, you must first farm for me. When he has planted the fields, I will make a decision. However, you must not have any objections. I I will arrange manpower to protect you, do you understand?"
"I understand." Everyone looked at the old man with admiration. How lucky they were to be protected by the emperor.
The two elders were so moved that they almost shed tears. If Chen Nan hadn't stopped them, they would have knelt down to thank Chen Nan.
Chen Nan arranged for a guard to protect the old man here and then left. He had too many things to deal with and he didn't know much about farming. Building a "Xuanyuan Plow" was all his efforts.
"Donor, can you tell me, that is the Emperor?" Just after he left, a nun appeared on the ground and said to a middle-aged woman.
"Yes, he is a very good emperor." The woman looked at Chen Nan's leaving figure and sighed.
"What is a good emperor? The nun heard that he is a bloodthirsty tyrant." The nun said in disbelief.
"You can't say that. Let me tell you, such people are not evil people."
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you come over to help? Grandpa promised to give us the tools first."
"Okay, okay, I'll be here right away." After the aunt said that, she didn't care about the woman and hurried to help.
The nun asked other people, and they all came to the same conclusion. They all believed that Chen Nan was the emperor of the ages. If someone said that he was a foolish emperor, they must have ulterior motives.
The nun retreated, but she had mixed feelings in her heart. In recent days, she had also secretly inquired about a lot of information, and also heard the conversations between several ministers. Some people said that he was a treacherous and evil person, while others said He is a rare virtuous king in the world.
