Wang Jie did not resist Li Muyun in the end, and stepped on the official road to Shuozhou with a worried heart.
And Li Muyun and others began to be busy looking for a place to build a steel mill around the cottage.
The so-called steel mill is actually just a name, and it can be said that it is a small workshop in the countryside at most.
A small earthen blast furnace, the outside is made of bricks to form the shape of a pot-bellied wine jar, the inside is coated with a thick layer of refractory clay, there are feeding openings on it, and there are four openings for blowing air into the middle, and the bottom layer is two, one is the mouth for picking slag outward, and the other is the mouth for flowing molten iron out.
Simple, brutal but practical, there must be coke now, and there is no disadvantage that iron ore cannot be melted completely.
Li Muyun randomly found a piece of paper and drew a sketch on it, and then the project was built by the three fat men.
And he returned to Shanyin County and continued his career of sitting in class and practicing martial arts.
Three days later, the fat man came back happily: "Mu Yun, it's done, the blast furnace has been repaired, when will we start making iron?"
Li Muyun was practicing aiming with a small soft bow at this time, and he was very excited when he heard the fat man say that the blast furnace was built, so he simply didn't practice aiming or anything, and pulled Su Yatou and walked out.
Although there is not much ore on the mountain, he can make a fire in advance, you know, although he built a small blast furnace, but the diameter is nearly three meters, it is not easy to think about the fire and burn evenly.
I didn't say anything all the way, and when I came to a wasteland outside the city near the river, I was stunned when I saw Li Muyun, and I glanced at the fat man, and I had a bad premonition in my heart.
I remember that there was a joke in later generations, about a group of engineering team who built a chimney with drawings, but the project contractor took a look at it, and instantly became angry, and scolded the head of the engineering team, because they wanted to build a well, but the engineering team was completely reversed.
And although the situation in front of him is not that the well has been built into a chimney, but looking at the endless wilderness in front of him, there is no building higher than two meters, Li Muyun's heart began to sink gradually, and he asked the fat man who was still stupidly happy: "Where is Lao Tzu's blast furnace?"
"That's not it."
The fat man pointed to the position of a group of people not far away.
Li Muyun glanced over there and asked hatefully, "You, won't you be repairing Lao Tzu below the ground?"
"That's right, when I looked at that picture, I thought there was something wrong with your consideration, that thing was so high, how to load it after it was repaired, so I asked people to dig a pit and build that thing underneath."
The fat man said confidently.
Listening to the fat man's complaints, Li Muyun resisted the urge to beat him up in his heart, and came to the edge of the so-called blast furnace buried in the ground.
The crowd dispersed, and Li Muyun saw what was in the pit.
Fortunately, the fat man didn't repair the blast furnace, but what is the difference between this special straight up and down and the reverse repair.
But the fat man didn't know whether he was alive or dead: "How about it, my idea is good, now like this, we just need to push the material from above, and then pour it in, everything will be fine, isn't it smart?"
"Smart uncle" Li Muyun finally couldn't stand the fat man's brain, no, couldn't bear it, the more Li Muyun thought about it, the more angry he became, so he stepped forward and grabbed the fat man, and pressed it to the ground is a black and astringent beating, and scolded while beating: "Are you really stupid or fake stupid, you get this thing below the ground, what should you do with the molten iron that flows out, go down and pick it up, are you a pig, when can you be smarter, don't always open your mind" The fat man was beaten and screamed, but he was powerless to resist, and he also remembered what Li Muyun said just now, although the current situation is good, the molten iron that flows out can only be left at the bottom of the pit, and it can't be taken up at all.
It was undoubtedly many times more troublesome to get the molten iron from below to the top than to throw those cold stones into the furnace, which meant that his clever actions brought him endless trouble.
The words are divided into two ends, putting aside Li Muyun's arrangement for the fat man to rebuild the blast furnace, but talking about Wang Jie who went to Shuozhou City.
After arriving in Shuozhou, Wang Jie first found an inn to stay for one night.
The next morning, he changed his clothes, and knocked on the door of the assassin's mansion with his servants, and saw his uncle without any hindrance.
"Virtuous nephew, what is the good news for coming here today" For Wang Jie's arrival, it didn't seem to exceed Wang's only expectations, so when he saw him, the old man didn't show any surprise.
"There's news, but I don't know if it's good or bad."
Wang Jie's tone was very flat, after such a long time, he could already accept the fact that his dead father had been expelled from the house, and he was much calmer when he saw Wang Wei again.
"Virtuous nephew, let's talk about it," Wang Wei said to Wang Jie with a smile while ordering someone to serve tea.
For this nephew, he himself can't say how he feels, in terms of blood relationship, they were very close before, but if it is logically speaking, this young man actually has nothing to do with him at all.
"It's okay to say reconciliation, but you need the Wang family to provide ore that can refine 500,000 catties of steel, otherwise there will be no reconciliation."
"What is this impossible, what is Li Muyun, reconciling with him is that the Wang family looks up to him, I can't imagine that this bastard is actually on his nose and face, and he really treats himself as a character, and he doesn't pee to take care of his own virtue."
It was still the young man of that day who spoke, this kid should have been spoiled by Wang Wei, and he always looked like a cow and coaxing, as if everyone in this world was afraid of him.
But after the young man expressed his position this time, he did not get Wang's only reprimand, which made Wang Jie feel a burst of pressure, and his heart had begun to have no hope for this trip to Shuozhou.
Originally, in fact, his thoughts were the same as that young man, and he didn't think that Li Muyun's conditions would be the only one to agree.
Because it was too harsh, it is estimated that as long as it is a person, it will not agree, and the Wang family will not agree either.
But to Wang Jie and the young man's surprise, after a long silence, Wang Wei actually agreed, only to see him pick up the tea, take a sip and say slowly: "I can agree to this condition, but, relatively, I also have a condition, if Xiaoyao can also agree, then even if all these things are in the past, no one will mention them in the future, and my Wang family will also become a good partner with Xiaoyaohou." ”:
