Chapter 149: King's Landing
"Your Majesty is wise." Everyone praised with all their thoughts.
Some people breathed a sigh of relief, while others felt at the bottom of the valley.
Everyone said goodbye and left.
Zhu Di seemed a little irritable in the hall alone. Zheng He happened to come back. Zhu Di said, "Zheng He, change me into a regular dress. Yes, has Hao Fenglou left the palace? Let him come back."
Zheng He didn't know that he had just gone out for a while, and countless people had already walked around the gates of hell.
Zhu Di seemed very irritable. Zheng He did not dare to neglect, so he quickly took out a regular dress and changed it, and asked someone to call Hao Fenglou.
Hao Fenglou came quickly. Before he could cross Jinshui Bridge, he followed Ji Gang with his own thoughts. Unexpectedly, a eunuch called him. Hao Fenglou did not dare to neglect and immediately turned back.
"I have seen Your Majesty."
Zhu Di glared at Hao Fenglou: "You guy is troubled by nothing. I understand now. You can't mess with these things, right?"
Hao Fenglou said aggrievedly: "A small family, how can I mess up such a big shocking event?" He couldn't help but feel ashamed. It seemed that he was still not cautious enough.
Fortunately, Zhu Di did not study it in depth. He sighed and said, "I am very bored. Family affairs and national affairs are a headache. I asked you to come because I want to ask you, what's wrong with your Shenwu Guard?"
Hao Fenglou said: "The manpower has been recruited, a total of 500 people. In order to cover up, the Wei ministers have recruited tenants and protected the hospital."
"Oh?" Zhu Di was interested: "It has been more than half a month, but I don't know what the effect is?"
Hao Fenglou said: "Weichen has formulated a training charter to make them do their own things. The Princess of Jing is also watching, and I think there will be no major problems."
Zhu Di is definitely an expert in training. He squinted his eyes and said, "I originally wanted to hit you, but now you are guilty. I will give you a chance to take me for a walk. If I can make me happy, I will not pursue what happened today."
Hao Fenglou was embarrassed for a moment, which made the emperor happy. By the way, this is not his own expertise. Hao Fenglou hesitated: "Weichen heard that, cough cough... There is a dental defense team in the capital. This dental defense team is planning a thing called 'Big World' recently, but it has not opened yet. I'm afraid it will be completed next month, but the five-star Zuiyue Tower evaluated by the dental defense team is a good place, but... just..."
Zhu Di sneered: "Isn't this dental defense team your business?"
Hao Fenglou seemed to be seen through suddenly, and he was dejected and said, "Your Majesty is really aware of it." But he was thinking in his heart that one will learn from one's mistakes. This time he deliberately left loopholes so that you can see through my "little thoughts" and give you an illusion that everything is in control.
Then Zhu Di lowered his face: "Hao Fenglou, you are so brave. You actually want to take me to a place where you hide dirt. If the Queen and the Emperor are told about this, you will not be afraid of being broken into pieces."
Hao Fenglou was ashamed and said hurriedly: "I have to die." He complained in his heart, you must be happy. The man is depressed and wants to go out for fun. Isn't that just the way? Now I blame me, do you think I want to be a turtle man?
"But, where is Your Majesty going?" There was no way, Hao Fenglou had to kick the ball back to Zhu Di.
Zhu Di said lightly: "Aren't you practicing the Shenwu Guard? I want to go and see if you are perfunctory or do your best to do your life."
Hao Fenglou was ashamed and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate..."
It is difficult for Hao Fenglou to understand people like Zhu Di. If you find fun and see the exercise, what kind of bad taste is this?
Zhu Di only thought that Hao Fenglou was worried about his safety, and he said sternly: "Who dares to hurt me in this world? Zheng He, you can choose a few people to accompany you and you must be trustworthy."
Zheng He did not dare to neglect and quickly responded.
Hao Fenglou felt very miserable. He was already embarrassed to be a turtle man. He took a big man to see a group of big men, this...
As a last resort, I left the palace, with a total of more than ten people, all in casual clothes.
In fact, before going there, Hao Fenglou was still a little nervous. After all, such things are difficult to predict. If something goes wrong accidentally, he will be in trouble.
However, Zhu Di was very excited and went out of the city directly surrounded by everyone.
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
The western foot of Zijin Mountain is still overgrown with weeds, but finally there are some people. Countless thatched houses are built. In addition, a few cooks are hired to arrange meals every day. Hao San is responsible for everyone's food and drinks. He is like a housekeeper. He has to go to the city in person early in the morning to buy a few trucks of rice, flour, vegetables and fruits, and then he has to watch everyone kill chickens and geese. His temperament is similar to that of the old man Hao Wu, who is the kind of person who can't sit still. After the training people have used the meal, they will wander around the camp and naturally have to be responsible for nearby affairs, such as looking at the newly built iron furnace, caring about whether the doctors' herbs are delivered in time, and occasionally they will go to the thatched houses of the clerks, just like watching them copy various documents like ghosts painting talismans.
Everything was orderly, but in a few days, the arrival of Zhu Zhiling made him a little uncomfortable.
This handsome "young man" dressed as a man did not dislike the simplicity of the conditions at all. She brought a girl and two warriors around her and lived in two thatched houses half inside and outside. In addition to eating and sleeping, she always came here to wander around. Fortunately, she was mainly responsible for the training of the men, and even had a sudden idea to improve some training methods.
Everyone in the camp was in awe for this "Young Master", because someone had seen her find more than a dozen strong men alone, and then knocked them all down in half a cup of tea.
As for the pharmacists, pharmacists, bookkeepers, craftsmen, etc., life is satisfactory. Pharmacists read medical books sent from Nanjing every day, such as "Shennong Bencao Jing", "The Emperor's Internal Classic" to "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", "Golden Chamber Yaolue" and "Qianjin Prescriptions", etc., which can be said to be everything, but I don't know where to collect them. A special study room was set up in the camp, and doctors can read it at any time. Recently, in addition to treating some external trauma for the pharmacists, these doctors would jump in as soon as they had free time, because the exam would take a few days. It is reported that according to the exam, everyone would be divided into three or six grades. The specific reward and punishment measures have been released, so naturally, the treatment is better. Those who have done poorly must suffer a little, so everyone has put all their efforts.
Compared with the doctors, the craftsmen were the most painful, and the one who was the most troublesome was the blacksmith. There were more than 60 blacksmiths in the camp. Everyone set up an iron stove together. Then, a drawing was sent from Nanjing. The first drawing was very simple. Each blacksmith quickly forged the things in the drawing according to the drawing. Nanjing seemed to be satisfied, but after a day, another drawing was sent. This time it was not very simple. In the drawing, there was a paper-shaped round hook, which was quite like an iron hook hanging a mosquito net. Although it was a bit complicated, it was slender. Just make a mold and dissolve the iron water into cooling. This was not difficult. As long as you can get started, most people know the method.
But the problem arises. The drawing requires that the hooks can hang a pound of heavy objects, which has stumped many people. The grooves are very slender, and iron objects are very easy to break and bend. It is not easy to achieve such heavyness.
We got together and tried the production several times, but the results were not satisfactory. Either they broke directly or bent.
Finally, we discussed together. After thinking about it, several old craftsmen finally came to the conclusion that the key to the problem lies in iron, because there are too many impurities in iron. However, there are two ways to remove impurities. One is to constantly forge, and the other is to mix carbon into steel. These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. So we tried the first method first. After many forgings, pig iron has indeed improved a lot of toughness. Then we mixed carbon to smel the pig iron into steel. Using such steel to make steel hooks, the load bearing capacity has been greatly improved.
But... it's still a little bit short.
This made many craftsmen a little depressed. They felt a little worried. Now they finally settled down. If they could not complete the "task" from Nanjing, who would know if they would be sent out? At that time, they would probably fall into the streets and sell themselves again. Moreover, General Manager Hao had already hinted that the owner of Nanjing would have said that if everyone did a good job, they might send someone to find their family in a few years and bring their families together.
This undoubtedly gave everyone a great temptation. For those who used to be without food and clothing, it is a huge thing to have a full meal and be able to find their family members who are in vain.
After the failure, everyone started the discussion again. In the end, the old craftsmen came to a conclusion that the problem was still on pig iron. Although they were made of forged steel, there were still many impurities. If you want to make this hook, you must make better iron. One of the old craftsmen summarized some tricks. It has a great relationship with fire. The higher the temperature, the iron ore can melt and finally remove impurities. Therefore, the biggest problem now is to increase the temperature in the iron furnace.
Creating fire and smelting iron have always been inseparable. These craftsmen are good at mastering the temperature and use their own methods to show their own experience. As a result, after several experiments, they still have not been satisfied.
For several days, more than 60 blacksmiths were thinking about how to master the temperature. Hao San also responded to them with all his requests. Whether they asked for coal or other equipment, they tried their best to satisfy them, and they didn't care about money at all.
But at the moment, it is still not satisfactory, which makes many people feel as if they are being severely suppressed by smog, and even eating and sleeping are not as pleasant as they are.
