What more can a husband ask for if a beautiful man is on his side
King Xiang'an frowned and thought carefully. The large robes did have many inconveniences, but to put the soldiers and civilians in the fief and even himself into such strange clothes, it would not only require a huge amount of money but also
He has great courage. If he is so unconventional, he will soon become the target of the dynasty. This risk is a bit high, but this "horse riding and shooting in Hufu" is indeed a good idea. Cavalry? He really didn't expect that he could do it in large numbers
Train the cavalry. With the cavalry, not to mention that his Xiang'an can be impregnable, even if he wants to compete in the world, it will become easy. This Liu Qingchen is really a genius. As for how to actually operate it, he has to discuss it with his group of advisers.
Ichiban.
Liu Qingchen didn't know that her words about horseback riding and shooting in Hufu had set off a storm in the heart of King Xiang'an. He then explained to Zichen in detail about the helmets and shoes with hollow inner pads.
Wearing protective shoes with thin iron sheets on the head. King Xiang'an's thoughtful eyes were always looking at her.
Every time Liu Qingchen said something helpful to Xiang'an's economy and army, her charm doubled in the eyes of King Xiang'an. From ignoring her existence to testing her abilities, she transitioned step by step to being a little bit...
If he wants to get her, now Xiang'an King Lingxiao is determined to get Liu Qingchen.
He had thought it through last night and had already begun to conceive of a solution. It would not be a bad idea to find an accident that would allow Liu Qingchen to resurrect his body, marry him with a more ordinary identity, and become one of his concubines. (King of Xiang'an,
She has already borrowed it once. It’s not good to borrow a corpse over and over again!)
The only question is whether to let Liu Qingchen die before the Queen Mother canonize her, or let her die afterward? The nights are long and the dreams are many, so just finish her off when you get back!
A huge conspiracy is about to take shape, but Liu Qingchen is still enjoying the happiness that ambiguous emotions bring her.
Although Shu Mei is a proud and arrogant master, her identity means that a girl is a girl, so she can only eat what is left by her masters.
The men all left, and Liu Qingchen sat by the bed and read the only book here, Master Tieguan's Almanac. He turned to today and wrote: It is not easy to break ground today, and you are not allowed to go out.
Isn't this nonsense? If the soil is not moved, the people stuck in the mine will starve to death. If they don't go out? King Xiang'an has already prepared a soft chair to carry her to the iron factory.
Shu Mei suddenly had a stomachache, her face turned white and her voice trembled. King Xiang'an arranged for the army doctor to take a look and said that he had eaten something unclean. Liu Qingchen thought about it with a villain's heart, could it be that Shu Mei secretly went to eat in the big pot?
Because Liu Qingchen wouldn't believe it if Shu Mei made something unclean.
At this point, none of Liu Qingchen's girls were in sight, so he had to find a temporary wife who was sewing at the construction site to wait on her.
The King of Xiang'an was walking quietly beside Liu Qingchen, chatting with her from time to time to relieve his fatigue. Liu Qingchen was very happy, and the scenery along the way was really beautiful.
A mountain stream passes through mountains and cliffs all the way, exits the valley mouth in the east and flows north; Tangli trees on both sides of the river are in full bloom under the warm sun, like smoke and clouds, and the faint fragrance floats. With the breeze, listen to the "ding-ding-ding" sound.
The rhythm of "dang" seems to be drawn by the ancient music that has been resounding for thousands of years, and has already sunk into a distant dream.
Liu Qingchen remembered the quatrains about iron training that he learned when he was in school: The fire in the furnace shines on the sky and the earth, the red stars are scattered in the purple smoke. On a bright moonlit night, the song moves the cold river. I was lucky enough to witness this scene.
Dozens of blacksmiths gathered around the shaft furnace that only trained iron, taking the red-hot molten iron and casting it. As the powerful arms and hammers rose and fell, showing the strong muscles and physical strength of the shirtless men, pieces of red-hot iron were forged.
Forming.
Liu Qingchen saw that the furnace was 2.5 meters high and had an elliptical cross-section, which overcame the difficulty of the wind blowing to the center. The lower furnace wall tilted outwards, forming a 62-degree furnace belly angle, allowing full contact between the edge materials and the gas.
The whole furnace may have four tuyeres, and four leather bellows are used to blow the air. The blast furnace has a volume of about 18 cubic meters and a daily output of about 0.2 tons. At that time, this was a very outstanding achievement.
Pig iron is smelted at a high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees Celsius. When it comes out of the furnace, it is in a liquid state and can be cast into shape. In this way, weapons and agricultural tools can be manufactured and produced in large quantities.
Liu Qingchen said to King Xiang'an: "If you want to increase production, you must improve."
Zichen originally had a look of amazement on his face, but when he saw what Liu Qingchen said, he was unconvinced and said: "Miss, I have never been out and have seen the iron training scene. There don't seem to be many people here, but the value of this shaft furnace is comparable to that of a...
…”
King Xiang'an stopped him with a gesture and asked, "Qingchen has any good ideas again?"
Liu Qingchen said: "The further development of blast furnace iron smelting technology is marked by the strengthening of blast, the expansion of furnace type, and the improvement of fuel and solvent."
King Xiang'an nodded.
Liu Qingchen added: "In terms of blowing, we can use leather bellows driven by human power, or even use leather bellows driven by horses or oxen. If conditions permit, we can even use water-powered bellows.
"
Zichen also praised: "Yes, using external force to exhaust air is indeed much better than natural exhaust. Miss Liu is indeed very wise!"
Liu Qingchen got carried away: "What's the airbag? We also have a blower!"
King Xiang'an asked: "What is that?"
Liu Qingchen hesitated for a moment, then said after a moment: "It is a piston-type wooden bellows. It can produce more continuous compressed air, which further increases the wind pressure and air volume, and strengthens smelting. In this way, the furnace body can be enlarged and the temperature can be increased.
It has improved the output, improved the operation of the blast furnace and stabilized the quality of pig iron." She was sweating coldly as she spoke. She knew the history of the evolution of iron smelting technology in ancient China quite well, and it was of great use this time.
The king of Xiang'an was overjoyed and said, "Can this Qingchen also do it?"
Liu Qingchen said: "My daughter can only talk about war on paper. I have seen it in dreams and books, but it is nothing."
King Xiang'an asked: "Are you reading books and practicing iron all the time in your dream?"
Liu Qingchen said helplessly: "I don't want to do that either!" In the last life, I really only did these things and failed to have a good relationship. I will definitely make up for it in this life.
Zichen laughed and ignored the matter.
It was getting late, and the group was about to return to the mine. Zichen suddenly suffered from abdominal pain. Liu Qingchen said in shock: "There is no reason. We ate the same thing. The prince and I are fine, but the husband and the girl are fine." She forgot.
She eats differently than they do!
Zichen glanced at King Xiang'an with a complicated expression, and King Xiang'an said: "Zichen will be patient for a while. It won't be too late to see the doctor when we get to the place."
Zichen nodded and lowered his hands to serve behind King Xiang'an. The group of people hurried on their way. The scenery was beautiful in the evening. Liu Qingchen was dressed warmly and sat on a soft chair. He was comfortable and comfortable. With a beautiful man by his side, what else could he ask for in a husband?
