Chapter 176 Sincerity (Part 2)
Wang Jie finally did not disturb Li Muyun, and stepped onto the official road to Shuozhou with a nervous heart.
Li Muyun and others began to find places to build steel mills around the parish.
The so-called steel factory is actually just a name. At most, it is a small rural workshop.
A small earthen blast furnace is made of bricks on the outside to form a large-bellied wine jar, and a thick layer is coated with refractory clay inside. There are holes for adding feed on it, and four holes for blowing the air inside in the middle. The bottom layer is two holes, one is the hole for slag outwards, and the other is the hole for squirting outwards.
Simple, rough but very practical. After all, with coke now, there is no disadvantage of not being able to completely melt iron ore.
Li Muyun casually found a piece of paper and drew a sketch on it. Then the project was built by the three fat men.
He returned to Shanyin County and continued his career in working and practicing martial arts.
...
Three days later, the fat man returned happily: "Mu Yun, it's done, the blast furnace is repaired, when will we start smelting iron?"
Li Muyun was practicing aiming with a small soft bow at this time. When the fat man said that the blast furnace was built, he was very excited, so he simply stopped aiming and walked out with nothing.
Although there are not many ores on the mountain, he can start the fire in advance. You should know that although he only built a small blast furnace, the diameter is nearly three meters. It is not easy to burn the fire evenly.
I had nothing to say all the way, and came to a wasteland near the river outside the city. When I saw Li Muyun, I was stunned. I glanced at the fat man and felt a vague premonition in my heart.
I remember a joke in later generations, saying that there was a group of engineering teams who built a chimney with drawings. As a result, the project contractor took a look and was instantly angry. He scolded the leader of the engineering team because they wanted to build a well, but the engineering team turned against it.
Although the situation in front of him was not that the well had been built into a chimney, looking at the endless wilderness in front of him, there was no building higher than two meters. Li Muyun's heart began to sink gradually. He pulled over the fat man who was still silly and asked, "Where is my blast furnace??"
"That's it." The fat man pointed at the location of a group of people not far away and said.
Li Muyun looked over there and asked in hatred: "You..., can't you be repaired below the ground for me?"
"Yes, after looking at the picture, I think you have something wrong with your consideration. The thing is so high, how can I load the materials after repairing it, so I asked someone to dig a hole and build the thing down." The fat man said with confidence.
Listening to the fat man's complaint, Li Muyun resisted the urge to beat him up in his heart and came to the so-called blast furnace buried underground.
The crowd dispersed and Li Muyun saw what was in the pit.
Fortunately, this fat guy didn't repair the blast furnace, but what's the difference between this straight up and down and the repair.
But the fat man came up without knowing how to do it: "How is it, I have a good idea. Now, we just push the material from above and pour it in and everything will be fine. Are you very smart?"
"Smart your uncle!" Li Muyun finally couldn't stand the fat man's imagination. He couldn't do it anymore, and he couldn't help it anymore. The more he thought about it, Li Muyun became more angry, so he stepped forward and grabbed the fat man, pressed it to the ground and gave him a black and slap! He scolded while beating: "Are you really stupid or fake stupid? You put this thing below the ground, what should you do if the molten iron flows out? Are you going to carry it up? Are you a pig? When can you be smarter, don't always open your brain!"
The fat man was beaten and screamed, but he was unable to resist. He remembered what Li Muyun said just now. Although the loading method is good, the iron flowing out can only be left at the bottom of the pit and cannot be taken up at all.
Compared to throwing those cold stones into the stove, it is undoubtedly a lot of trouble to get the molten iron from below to above, which means that his own clever behavior has brought him endless trouble.
...
The conversation was divided into two parts. Putting aside the fact that Li Muyun arranged for the fat man to rebuild the blast furnace, he said that Wang Jie from Shuozhou City was going to be.
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 gate of the assassin's mansion with his servants. Without any stopping, he met his uncle, the newly-Zheng Shuozhou assassin Wang Wei.
"Nephew, what good news is there for coming here today?" Wang Jie's arrival did not seem to have exceeded Wang Yi's expectations, so when he saw him, the old man showed no surprise.
"There is news, but I don't know whether it's good or bad." Wang Jie's tone was very plain. After so long, he could already accept the fact that his dead father was expelled from the house. When he saw Wang Yi again, he calmed down much.
"Tell me, my dear nephew!" Wang Wei ordered someone to serve tea and said to Wang Jie with a smile.
He himself couldn't say anything about this nephew. From the perspective of blood source relationship, they had a very close relationship before, but in theory, this young man had nothing to do with him.
"Xiaoyaohou said that reconciliation is OK, but the Wang family needs to provide ore that can extract 500,000 kilograms of steel, otherwise it will not be reconciled!"
"What? This is impossible. What is Li Muyun? It is because the Wang family respects him. Unexpectedly, this bastard actually got on the nose and really treated himself as a character. He didn't urinate and looked at himself with what kind of virtue it would be."
The one who spoke was still the young man that day. This kid should have been spoiled by Wang Yiwei. He always looked like a coquettish, just like everyone in this world was afraid of him.
But after the young man made his statement this time, he did not receive Wang Yi's scolding, which made Wang Jie feel a little pressure, and he had no hope for this trip to Shuozhou.
Originally, his idea was the same as the young man, and he didn't think that Li Muyun's conditions would only agree.
Because that is too harsh, I guess no one will agree, and the Wang family will not agree either.
