Explaining the remuneration clearly first will help the craftsmen feel at ease.

Sure enough, everyone was very satisfied with this treatment.

The salary of one tael of silver is actually not high, but there is no additional cost for food and accommodation here, which saves a lot of money. If the officials here don't withhold money, it will be like a fairy life.

Next, is the issue Zuo Mengeng is most concerned about.

"Can the furnace you built be used to make steel directly?"

When they heard this, even though they knew it was disrespectful, the craftsmen couldn't help laughing.

Another craftsman, Chen Erzhu, was quick to talk.

"My lord, how can you make steel directly in a furnace? You may not be able to get steel once even if you make it a hundred times."

Zuo Mengeng understood.

The temperature of the iron smelting furnaces in this era could not be reached, so steel could not be obtained through smelting.

In other words, what is smelted in the furnace is generally wrought iron.

"What if we built a furnace that could make steel?"

With just one word, the blacksmiths exploded.

"How is that possible?"

"The official is joking. Steel can only be produced by hard work. Molten steel comes out of a furnace. That is the magic trick of the gods."

Among the crowd's confusion, Zuo Mengeng's expression was extremely serious.

"This is the secret that I said."

The craftsmen stopped laughing and lost all language functions.

Zuo Mengeng's expression told them that he was not joking.

But if this is true, and the technology can be used to smelt steel, what is the concept?

They blacksmiths understand the value very well.
