"Then what are you waiting for? Draw it quickly and let us see -"
Before Wang Zi'an could finish speaking, Li Shimin stood up impatiently. Duan Lun, Huang Xu, Old Uncle Wen, and even Xue Rengui and Wu Zetian, who were staying by the side politely, couldn't help but look over curiously.
They don't understand what blast furnace steelmaking is like, but they understand what iron is.
That is a good material for making a magical weapon!
Looking at the few people who suddenly gathered around him, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but laugh. In my previous life, I had seen those earthen blast furnaces for making steel, but those things were just decorations. If the iron was not smelted to waste, it would be a waste of money. How could we expect it to make good steel?
He spread his hands very bachelorly.
"I told you, I don't know how to do this -"
"No, you can really do this-"
Li Shimin didn't believe his rhetoric at all.
This piece of shit, there was no time when he said he didn’t know how to do it, and then suddenly he knew how to do it. What's more, this time the fox's tail is exposed!
Needless to say, he must be pretending again——
Li Shimin grabbed Wang Zi'an's hand, his eyes burning.
"Zi'an, good son-in-law, this is a huge achievement. As long as you are willing to hand it over, everything will be easy. Even if I risk my life, I will go to your majesty to ask for credit -"
Wang Zi’an:……
Thank you so much!
"What? Is it so dangerous to ask for a job now?"
Looking at the excited Li Shimin, Wang Zi'an couldn't help but look at the showman's dog emperor jokingly.
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help but hesitated slightly.
No, you brat doesn't play by the rules.
At this time, shouldn't you be moved by my father-in-law's sincerity in asking for credit for you regardless of the cost?
"Well, of course not, I mean, I must strive for the greatest benefit for you!"
Li Shimin said, affectionately holding Wang Zi'an's neck, and earnestly induced him.
"Wonderful son-in-law, think about it, we are brothers-in-law. Our Yue'er is your soon-to-be wife. Your future children will be my nephews. You, my son-in-law, will be my half-brothers." My son, no - I'm closer than my own son! How can I trick you?"
Duan Lun and Huang Xu couldn't help but secretly cover their faces.
Your Majesty, you—
The character is broken!
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but be speechless.
Not only are you a great dramatist, you've also learned how to sugar-coat things.
Pulling him away with some disgust.
"I really can't do it this time——"
Not this time?
Duan Lun and Huang Xu couldn't help but feel toothache after hearing this.
This sounds like a lot of content.
"Where's Zian? It's useless for you to hide this kind of technology. Take it out generously - have you seen your Uncle Huang? As long as you take it out, you can pick and take whatever you want from the inventory he has here today. Take as much as you want!"
Li Shimin had long been familiar with Wang Zi'an's routine.
After the family card is played, the temptation of interests begins.
"Yes, yes, yes, my dear nephew, as long as you teach us the method, I will satisfy all your requirements today even if I try my best to be punished by Your Majesty!"
Huang Xu was also patting his dry chest next to him, acting like an old uncle would fight for you.
Wang Zi'an seemed unmoved.
Huang Xu hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth.
"My dear nephew, to tell you the truth, there is a piece of extraterrestrial iron hidden in my warehouse! Do you know the drum urn and golden hammer used by King Zhao? It is said to be made of this material. As long as you are willing to teach the method of filling steel Give it to us - I will leave it all to you today! If you are willing, I can also ask famous craftsmen in the world to help you build the top magic weapon!"
What a generous move!
To be honest, at this moment, Wang Zian was really excited.
But the problem is, I really don’t know how to do it this time——
"Rengui, Zetian, what are you doing stupidly? Why don't you quickly thank Manager Huang..."
Wang Zi'an angrily kicked Xue Rengui who was standing next to him. Xue Rengui woke up from a dream and pulled Wu Zetian. The two of them quickly bowed their heads and thanked her.
Huang Xu couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"That's great. Come on, tell me, what's going on with the steel filling method and the blast furnace -"
He was gearing up, and Li Shimin's eyes were shining.
"Ahem - Uncle Huang misunderstood, that - I really don't know how to pour steel and blast furnace..."
Huang Xu:......
The smile suddenly froze on his face.
Why don't you ask your apprentice to thank me? !
Seeing that this guy seemed to be going back on his word, Wang Zi'an coughed dryly and reminded him in a friendly manner.
"Uncle Huang, you already promised when we forged the iron - you don't want to go back on your word, do you?"
Huang Xu:......
Shit, you guessed it!
The old man really regretted it, but the emperor and the Minister of Industry were watching. He took a few deep breaths from the suffocation, then waved his sleeves angrily with a straight face.
"I'm dignified—cough, how could I break my promise to you juniors—"
Ah, I was so careless, I actually exposed the big treasure in the storehouse.
Huang Xu's heart and liver ached.
"Zian, you just said that you should mix pig iron and wrought iron in proportion and then put them into a blast furnace for smelting, right? Can an ordinary furnace work?"
Suddenly Duan Lun, who had been observing Wang Zi'an, asked.
"It probably won't work. Ordinary furnaces are not hot enough, and there is no way to use the gas generated by the charcoal fire to remove impurities from the iron ingots——"
Wang Zi'an immediately shook his head in the negative without even thinking about it.
Everyone:…
You still say you don’t know!
Now, let alone Li Shimin, Huang Xu and Duan Lun, even Uncle Hong, Uncle Wen and his two disciples looked at him differently.
Suddenly feeling that the atmosphere around him was different, Wang Zi'an looked around and couldn't help but be speechless.
"No - ah, this! I know that the method you said won't work, but it doesn't mean that I will -"
Everyone said nothing and just looked at him.
Wang Zi’an:……
To be honest, no one believes me yet, right?
No matter how much you love, you won’t—
Wang Zi'an spread his hands and stopped talking.
Ah, this——
"Zi'an, do you have any worries, are you afraid of being blamed by your master?"
Li Shimin couldn't help but have a serious expression on his face.
Understandable.
The forging method just now was already astonishing, and the steel filling method that Zian said can produce mass production of iron is even more like a myth.
It even sounds like making an elixir.
How can it be spread casually?
When Wang Zi'an heard this, he was almost stupid. With your imagination, it would be a pity not to write online articles, Lao Li!
Seeing Wang Zi'an, he stopped talking.
Duan Lun suddenly had a clue in his heart.
This newly promoted Marquis of Chang'an really knows how to practice steel!
If it is true, then no matter what, the court must take this method into its hands, even if it finds the master behind him!
"Zian, you really know how to pour steel, right?"
With the questioning sentence structure and affirmative tone, Duan Lun believed in his eyes.
"I'm so—"
As soon as Wang Zi'an finished speaking, he was stunned on the spot, with a look of dumbfounding on his face.
The familiar numbing feeling swept through the whole body again, and countless steel-making experiences poured back into me, like an enlightenment, and the production knowledge of the steel-making method was added to my memory out of thin air!
Looking at Wang Zi'an's expression, Li Shimin felt that he had accurately felt Wang Zi'an's pulse this time. He took a deep breath, looked at Wang Zi'an, and advised seriously.
"Zian, even if your master is in seclusion, you still need some training or daily expenses, right? With the support of the imperial court, wouldn't it be much more convenient for your master whether you are traveling outside or practicing in seclusion in the future? ? Therefore, teaching the steel-filling method to the imperial court is the best of both worlds. If your master is held accountable, His Majesty will definitely come forward in person and explain it to the master for you..."
Ah, this——
Wang Zi'an opened his mouth, not knowing how to complain.
Your genius' imagination makes me almost believe that I have a mysterious and mysterious cultivator.
Seeing that Wang Zi'an's expression seemed a little "shaken", Li Shimin felt reassured. He rolled his eyes and suddenly felt blessed.
Step forward and kindly pull Prince An aside.
"Wonderful son-in-law, we are our own people. I won't cheat you. Why don't you offer me the steel-filling method, and I, on behalf of Yue'er, ask for the title of a princess from Your Majesty——"
Wang Zi’an:……
Damn it, you shameless bitch, you can actually make a white ticket look so fresh and refined!
"Then what--"
Wang Zi'an looked at the dog emperor possessed by a drama queen with a playful look, trying his best to deceive himself.
"Then - then Yue'er will be the princess, and you will be the consort of the court, and you will be the royal noble! Think about it, when the time comes, will your master have to give some face to the court? Is it just Isn’t it easy to punish you? When the time comes, you will have your back to the imperial court, and you will become a bridge between the imperial court and your master—"
As he spoke, Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and spoke seriously.
"Your status is even more important - not to mention, Yue'er has become a princess and you have become the consort, what's wrong with that? If nothing else, your and Yue'er's children will have titles after they are born. ah--"
The more Li Shimin thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was perfect!
There is no need to show off my cards, and I can still marry my daughter off as a princess. I am so smart.
"also--"
Wang Zi'an sighed.
Look at what happened, I really didn’t want to bargain—
Seeing that they had finally succeeded in persuading Wang Zi'an, Li Shimin, Duan Lun and others couldn't help but look ecstatic!
The steel filling method is here!
Wang Zi'an didn't hesitate. He started brushing with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and in a short while he drew a schematic diagram of the internal and external structure. While he was drawing, he was explaining it in detail.
After all, the others are not blacksmiths yet, but Old Uncle Wen is.
Others only heard a general idea and thought, Damn, it’s so awesome, it seems to work.
But he really listened. He didn't care about anything else at the moment and squeezed in between Li Shimin and Duan Lun. While listening, he made gestures with his hands and asked a few questions from time to time.
Wang Zi'an intended to help him, and every time he asked, he would explain it in detail, and would also give him a few common mistakes to expand his horizons. Old Uncle Wen's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.
Unknowingly, I actually talked for more than an hour before finally stopping.
"Uncle Wen, what's going on? Do you understand?"
Wang Zi'an looked at Old Uncle Wen who was immersed in the diagram with a gentle smile.
Seeing Wang Zi'an asking him, Old Uncle Wen reluctantly looked away from the drawings and nodded excitedly.
"I don't quite understand yet, but it should be enough to follow the gourd's example!"
Having said this, Old Uncle Wen raised his head with a smile.
"Besides, if I don't know how, wouldn't this still be yours?"
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but laugh.
Who said this honest old blacksmith was careless?
It's so wise and stupid.
"Yes, and I, Old Uncle Wen, if you encounter any problems in the future, just ask me - of course, if you encounter no problems, don't forget to have a drink with me..."
Wang Zi'an smiled and nodded.
When he first moved to the east of the city, when he first arrived, it was this group of simple men who had no blood relationship with him who stood up and gave him the simplest care.
Now that I have the opportunity, I am naturally happy to take care of these old neighbors.
Old Uncle Wen and Old Uncle Hong haven't reacted yet, but Li Shimin, Duan Lun and others couldn't help but take a deep look. This old man, who has been the director of the Ministry of Industry for more than two months, has not yet worn off his old farmer temperament. The blacksmith nodded silently in his mind.
With this episode, Huang Xu's straightforwardness and generosity even surprised Li Shimin.
The warehouse was opened to Wang Zi'an's choice. Not only did he move out the extraterrestrial meteorite that was never easily revealed to others, but he also took the initiative to take out a large piece of deep-sea black iron.
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
I thanked him very seriously and asked someone to collect these two treasures.
Seeing that Wang Zi'an really took away the two big babies, Huang Xu couldn't help but show a look of reluctance on his face.
Just like an old father who is watching his precious daughter get married, he gives these instructions from the bottom of his heart.
"These are treasures that are hard to find. It would be a waste to find an ordinary craftsman to build them."
After a pause in his tone, Huang Xu said seriously.
"As far as I know, there are only three people in the world who are qualified and capable of using this kind of treasure to make weapons - the other two are now living in seclusion in the mountains and forests, not interested in worldly affairs, and I don't know if they are still around today. The only one who can be found now is probably the current Duke of Wu, Wei Chi Jingde——"
Having said this, Huang Xu couldn't help coughing and reminded with gloating.
"However, our Duke Wu has not taken action for many years, and he seems to be disgusted by others using his status as a blacksmith..."
Wang Zi’an:……
Yuchi Jingde?
I thought you were a doorkeeper, but I didn’t expect you were a blacksmith!
Wang Zi'an couldn't help but secretly complained in his heart.
This was so impressive to him. Not to mention the memory of his previous life, let’s talk about the recent one. His unlucky son who looked like a black iron egg even came to ask for a beating drum, a urn, and a golden hammer——
This old guy doesn't hold a grudge in his heart and is unwilling to take action, right?
But let’s put it away first.
Anyway, Yuchi Jingde is there and can't escape from him.
"Where's Zian? Look, do you want me to help you to ask for a favor? No, what are you looking at? I'm not bragging to you. Your father-in-law and I have a lot of connections in Chang'an City..."
If it weren't for your greedy little eyes, I would have believed it!
Wang Zi'an can guarantee that with Li Shimin's urine, once this thing falls into his hands, it will be easy to peel off both layers of skin. So, he chuckled and reminded him very friendly.
"So, you were caught by Gao Ting——"
Li Shimin:...
Gao Ting, you piece of shit!
I’ve decided to deal with him right away when I get back——
Wannian County Government.
After finally drinking and sweating, Gao Ting felt relaxed. He couldn't help but feel nervous and sneeze violently. I was immediately shocked.
My illness is quite serious——
Hurry, boil the medicine, don't stop taking it!
With the forging method and the steel pouring method in hand, Duan Lun and Huang Xu felt as if they were scratching their heads. They were still in the mood to receive the emperor and Wang Zi'an. Wang Zi'an was too lazy to stay any longer, and soon the others left and went back to their homes.
As soon as Li Shimin returned to the imperial study, he asked the old chamberlain to help him find the memorial from the Du Water Supervisor a few days ago requesting the dredging of the water channel in the south of the city.
"I heard that the magistrate of Wannian County is tall, hard-working, and a good hand at dredging waterways. He conveys my wishes, so I gave him the job. By the way, the project is tight and the task is heavy. Tell him. , put in more effort and make sure to finish it before the end of the year..."
