The rain came and went quickly, the sky became bright again, and the whole city of Guangzhou seemed to come alive again. While the eaves are dripping with rain, the streets come alive again.

Guangzhou Mansion, signed room.

Kang Wanrong walked in with a stack of official documents, gently put it in front of the desk, and then bowed down and withdrew, seemingly conscientiously assisting Lin Haoran in handling official business.

Lin Haoran, who was wearing a fourth-grade official uniform, was seriously handling the official business at hand at the table, and the whole person looked more official, and a sparse beard had grown under his chin.

After staying in the position of the prefect of Guangzhou for more than a year, the city has deeply laid his chrome mark, and it is under his rule that the Guangzhou government has undergone earth-shaking changes, becoming more and more prosperous and prosperous.

I just finished presiding over a government exam, and I thought I could take a break, but it turned out that it was tax season again. In addition, there are countless large and small affairs of the government, so that he can devote a lot of time and energy to these affairs.

Although he is far from having the same sense of justice as Tiger Girl, he is also not the kind of person who has no sense of responsibility, and he does not want to be an official who eats a corpse.

The tiger girl had just taken a hot bath, and her whole face looked red and energetic. She changed into a light blue chest-length Confucian skirt, and resolutely had the appearance of a young lady, but she still walked in a hurry.

walked in from the outside and asked directly, "Brother, what are you looking for me to do?" ”

Lin Haoran looked at her wild girl who caught thieves in the rain, and she had already given up treatment. But I have to admit that over the past few days, this wild girl has indeed solved a lot of troublesome things for him, especially dealing with a lot of troublesome cases.

Facing this only sister, although her wildness did not change, she asked helplessly: "Have you drunk ginger soup?" ”

"Oops! Am I getting better? I don't even want that kind of thing, and I don't like that kind of soup! Tiger Girl's brows furrowed slightly, but she complained crisply.

The little rabbit outside the door came in with hot ginger soup, and persuaded with a serious face: "Miss, you have to drink this ginger soup, otherwise you will really get sick!" ”

"Got it!" Hu Niu found her brother's gaze, but she no longer chose to resist and said helplessly.

Lin Haoran watched the tiger girl frown and drank the bowl of ginger soup, and found that this wild girl likes to eat everything, but for some reason she hates ginger soup, which is a rare thing.

"Brother, I've finished drinking, what are you looking for me?" Tiger Girl frowned and put the bowl down, looking anxious to ask.

Lin Haoran looked at her anxious appearance, and said helplessly: "Tomorrow, you won't investigate the case first, and go to Foshan for your brother!" ”

"What are you going to do this time?" Hu Niu nodded lightly and asked.

These days, the tiger girl has become an errand-like existence for Lin Haoran, and she has indeed done a lot of things for Lin Haoran, and has also helped him solve a lot of troubles.

Lin Haoran took out a piece of iron, which turned out to be a piece of steel, and looked at it deeply.

Steelmaking technology can be traced back to the late Spring and Autumn period, and the main steelmaking process is the lump iron carburizing method, followed by the steel frying method and the steel filling method. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the existing "steel filling method" was further optimized, and the "pig iron pouring method" appeared.

This pig iron rinsing method uses molten pig iron as a carburizing agent for wrought iron, making the edge of this wrought iron into steel. This creative technological achievement is still used in the production of small farm tools.

The steelmaking process already has a deep foundation in Daming, but the production cost is relatively high. Lin Haoran immediately put his mind on this, not only to develop Foshan's steelmaking process, but also to find ways to optimize the steelmaking process.

With the opening of trade with the Portuguese, silver from South America and Japan flowed into Canton, especially into the United Merchant Groups. And after having money, Lin Haoran also has the confidence to promote the development of the steel industry.

It's just that if you want to promote the steel industry, you need not only to make excellent products, but also to make steel cheaply. If the cost of steelmaking is too high, the so-called steel industry is undoubtedly a castle in the air.

"You go to the United Steel Workshop, say that this refining is good, and let them make me a few sets of knives and forks!" Lin Haoran put down the steel and handed over a piece of paper.

Europeans are nomadic peoples, and their meat is often cooked, cut and eaten. Later, after settling down, Europe was dominated by animal husbandry, and bread and other foods were non-staple foods. The staple food is beef and mutton, which is cut with a knife and served in the mouth.

It was only in the fifteenth century that Westerners used double-pointed forks in order to improve their eating posture, because it was unsightly to use a knife to serve food to the mouth, and instead used a fork to fork the meat pieces, which made it more elegant to serve it to the mouth.

However, due to the art of refining, gold and silver forks or iron forks are mostly used.

If a "high-quality and inexpensive" steel fork can be developed, this steel product will inevitably be welcomed by the European market, and will undoubtedly be able to generate huge trade profits.

Once a complete industrial chain can be formed, the profits will be fed back to the production workshop, which will inevitably contribute to the improvement of steel quality and promote the overall development of iron and steel enterprises.

Just as the iron pot drives the production of iron tools in Foshan, the steel industry must also have a fist product, so as to promote the development of the entire industry. At present, Lin Haoran pins his hopes on simple knives and forks, and then extends to other steel products.

"Alright! Then I'll take a trip for you tomorrow and bring a few mud fish back! Hu Niu was a wild man, and she did not resist this kind of task, so she happily agreed to take the paper.

Lin Haoran saw that she was so well-behaved, so she stood up and said, "Tiger girl, brother will get you something delicious today!" ”

"What's going on?" Tiger Girl's eyes lit up slightly, and she raised her head and asked.

Lin Haoran thought about it slightly, and then had an answer: "Hot pot!" ”

This season is naturally not a good time to eat hot pot, but after the next heavy rain, the air is a little cool, and you can take advantage of this weather change to have a delicious meal.

"Good! Let's go grocery shopping! Tiger Niu replied with interest.

The trees want to be quiet, and the wind does not stop.

After Zhang Lian became the emperor of Jianyuan, he did not settle for a corner, but chose to take the initiative to fight, and the spearhead was directed at the decaying Ming Dynasty. While Guangdong was still deploying troops, Zhang Lian and his party had already taken action again, and this time the spearhead was directed at Guangdong.

It was the time of June, seeing that the autumn was approaching, and the festive day was coming, but Zhang Lian sent his troops to attack Xu Renqi to attack Longchuan County in Huizhou Prefecture, which caused Guangdong to be stormy again.
