"Iron ore?"

Zhao Zhen covered his forehead and said, "What do you want to do?" ”

Can't you live a good life? I have to toss some copper and iron.

Moreover, salt and iron have always been a source of wealth for the court, where can it be used casually for Taoist temples.

Shen An Zhenzhen said eloquently: "Your Majesty, that Shehui is excellent in alchemy, the minister wants to try it there ......, if he can make good steel, the minister can also get some kitchen knives to sell."

"Lies!"

Zhao Zhen shouted: "If you have nothing to do, go back." ”

Shen An's net worth is here, how can he take the profits of making kitchen knives in his eyes.

Shen An said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the minister really wants to make good steel, and when the time comes, ...... The court paid money to buy the method of steelmaking, and the ministers could also make a lot of money. ”

Zhao Zhen said lightly: "Nonsense! ”

The state system should not be wasted!

Shen An gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, can that iron be as harmful as the Divine Crossbow?" ”

As soon as these words came out, no one could say that Shen An was plotting against him.

If he wants to plot something wrong, the Divine Crossbow should be hidden.

The Zai Fu who watched the excitement on the side were a little entangled, Zeng Gongliang was more soft-hearted, and said: "Although you are loyal, those Taoist priests can't tell clearly. ”

"Just count the numbers."

Shen An knew that this example was not easy to open, so he resorted to a trump card.

"Your Majesty, not to mention the telescope and other sharp weapons, the teacher also had some smelting methods back then, and now the minister has thought of some of them, and this time he wants to put them into practice, if he can do it, the Great Song Dynasty Armor will be strong in the world."

Is this temptation big?

If someone else said it, the monarch would definitely only think it was a psychopath, but Shen An tossed out a lot of good things......

O hermit in the mountains!

This one......

Zhao Zhen and Zai Fu looked at each other, and they were both a little tempted.

If you can really make good steel, that's amazing!

For example, if the big axe uses good steel, is it easier to kill the enemy horseman?

The long knife uses good steel, can it be cut more powerfully?

Thinking of the Great Song Dynasty, the long knife of the Liao people was cut off......

It's a beautiful picture!

Zhao Zhen coughed dryly and said, "Not more." ”

Shen An said: "There are not many in the Izumo Temple. ”

He didn't really want to make kitchen knives to make money, he just asked Shehui to switch to steelmaking.

Zhao Zhen nodded, "Izumo Temple will be closed from now on." ”

This is a safety consideration, otherwise it will be a big loss if someone snoops on it.

Shen An said with a smile: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the method of steelmaking seems simple, but you don't understand the key to it, if no one teaches it, you won't be able to figure it out in a hundred years." ”

How many years has iron been used?

However, the development of steel is struggling, which shows the difficulties.

If you know the trick of steelmaking at a glance, then why will future generations spend money to hire experts?

Just one refractory material can kill people.

Shen An felt that this group of monarchs and ministers were just buns, and it was just a matter of not understanding, but there was still the intention of obstruction.

Wait until you get good steel, and then come back and slap your face.

Han Qi said: "You know steelmaking? ”

His tone was skeptical, but he didn't blame him, when it came to steel at this time, the best thing was naturally what was made of steel.

The so-called hundred refining is a means to obtain better quality through multiple forging.

Don't talk about steel filling, those who know how will only choose 100 steel.

The monarchs and ministers are a little confused, after all, there is no iron ore for you to smelt on the mountain!

Shen An was a little impatient, "Dare to ask Han Xiangke, do you know what is called the cooling rate of iron?" Do you know what impurities are? Do you know how to get rid of impurities in iron? ”

Three questions in a row seem a bit aggressive.

Belch!

Han Qi shook his head, he really didn't know.

Monarchs and ministers don't know.

A bunch of dirt buns!

Shen An said lightly: "I know." ”

Zhao Zhen slapped his thigh and said, "That's it, give it to him." ”

Shen An said: "Your Majesty, you will definitely not regret your decision today in the future. ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "But be careful, let the people of the Imperial City Division go to Izumo to inspect it, it's not right......"

"Kill!"

Don't look at it, it must be Han Qi who said this.

This ...... You have the ability to kill the Tanguts!

Of course, Zhao Zhen would not agree to such a ridiculous suggestion, and immediately called Zhang Bannian and asked him to take the lead in the investigation.

"How long will it take?"

Zhao Zhen just asked casually.

Shen An also replied casually: "I can't say, five or six years...... Or seven or eight years, or ten or so years. ”

Science can't be fake!

He felt that there was nothing, so he retired, Zhao Zhen sat there, and muttered, "Why does this feel unreliable?" ”

……

At this moment, a farewell drama is being staged in the Izumo view, which is tear-jerking.

"Are you sure Brother Dao didn't ask the official family?"

She Hui's face was as usual, obviously becoming more and more detached.

She Qing nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Shen Dao didn't ask about iron ore." ”

"That's probably not the case."

Once she Hui came out of her original state, she was even more clever.

The Taoist priests in the temple are carrying burdens and tears in their eyes, like children who want to separate from their parents and live alone.

They have been Taoist priests for a long time, and they know a lot of scriptures and do some rituals, but these skills are useless outside!

How to find a way to survive?

Now they are all feeling uneasy, even hopeless.

"Contemplating the ......"

A young Taoist was finally crushed by this pressure, and he knelt there and cried, "Lord, if you go out, you won't be able to live!" ”

"Pray that the Lord will take you in."

"Pray that the Lord will take me and others to find a way to live!"

"Lord, let's follow you......"

"To live together, to die together!"

“……”

On the wall not far away, Zhang Bannian said coldly: "The Taoist priest who shouted just now that he wanted to live and die together will go back to the south." ”

The subordinate whispered.

Living and dying together, do you want to rebel or what?

Death is this!

"The poor road is also difficult to protect itself, and if you can't support you, get up! Get up! You can go to another Taoist temple to survive......"

Outsiders in the Great Song Dynasty can be exempt from taxes, and they can eat and drink for free when they go to other Taoist temples......

But who will serve you free food and drink this year!

It's a good thing to say, I'm afraid that if I only eat and live for nothing for a month, I will have to drive people away with cold words.

Let's take a look at Izumo!

The Taoists shook their heads with tears in their eyes.

Shehui opened her baggage, took out the copper coins, and put them all on the ground.

"You wait until you take it."

His expression was desolate, and a dead silence was permeating.

She Qing said in a low voice: "Senior brother, you still have to keep some." ”

"I don't want to stay."

She Hui feels that she is the walking dead, and that life is pain.

She sighed: "Senior brother, why don't you ...... Let's change places and start the furnace again. ”

Most of the people in these years are ignorant, and he goes out to fool around, ensuring that he can make a lot of money.

She Hui just shook her head.

The copper coins were put there, and most of the Taoist priests didn't ask for them, so three of them came, and they divided Shehui's 'severance pay', and then left without looking back.

This year, my father and mother are ...... I don't have any money.

Somewhere on the wall, there was a voice that said, "If you have money, you can be shameless?" If you can't rely on it, you will be bought! Write down all three of them, and don't go in or out of the cloud again! ”

She said angrily: "In the past, they were not thin, but ...... O human heart! ”

She Hui felt that this was the best, and he muttered: "Brother Dao's words are really good, gather because of food, disperse because of food, it is like eating all the birds and throwing them into the forest, and the white land is really clean." Well said! ”

She Qing only felt desolate in her heart, and then Shehui suddenly shouted: "Go, go!" ”

The crowd saluted silently, then slowly turned around.

"Ah......h

She Hui suddenly raised her head to the sky and roared, and her voice sounded more depressed and desperate.

Life is meaningless, and that is the walking dead.

Shehui is afraid that she doesn't want to live anymore.

Everyone shook their heads, but the father and mother are married, and everyone takes care of themselves!

The three people in front of them had already gone out, and everyone walked slowly, wanting to see more Taoist temples.

Just like those who are laid off/work in the future, they are reluctant to give up, and they still have to go out in the end.

"Huh! How did they come back again? ”

At this time, someone found that the three Taoists had retreated.

"Isn't it a conscience to find that you want to return the money to the viewer?"

"No, they're laughing!"

The three were indeed laughing, and they were laughing.

They were stooping out the door, smiling flatteringly.

"Who's coming? Is it a pilgrim? ”

"It's all like this, and not a single pilgrim can save Izumokan."

At this time, a person slowly came in from outside the door, he glanced at this side, and someone said, "It's Brother Shen Dao!" ”

"What kind of Daoist brother is he!"

Someone said angrily: "It is said that it is to let the master make steel, but what about the ore?" No ore to make steel...... Let's take people and refine them. ”

When a few officials came in behind Shen An, these Daoists felt their heartbeats intensify.

What does that mean?

Arrest?

We didn't do anything!

So......

Shen An looked at them in amazement and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

The Taoist priests only felt joy welling up in their hearts, but they couldn't be sure.

Someone said, "Brother Dao, Izumokan...... No, I'll have to fend for myself. ”

"The viewer said that he couldn't get through it, and if he didn't leave, everyone would have to starve to death here."

“……”

Shen An frowned and said, "Is this because Shen doesn't mean what he says?" ”

"Brother Dao."

Sheqing had already come, and when he saw the official behind Shen An, his originally pale face instantly flushed.

Shen An said dissatisfiedly: "Didn't you say waiting?" If you are so anxious, who will you do the work? ”

He glanced at the Taoist priests, and his eyes were a little greedy.

These Taoist priests also have some fists and kicks, although the force value is not very high, but they are excellent coolies.

And they have no family and no relatives to deal with......

Tut!

How can such a good labor be spared!

He was stunned for a moment, and then said in ecstasy: "Brother Dao, is it ...... It's done? ”

Shen An nodded slightly, and said majestically: "I can't stand some small things, what can I expect you to do in the future?" ...... later"

"Thank you, Brother Dao!"

"Brother Dao saving me is equal to fire and water, poor Dao...... Poor ......"

A group of Taoist priests thought that they were about to go outside to find a life, but they didn't expect it to be bright.

Someone choked up and said: "Poor Dao said that Brother Shen Dao is not that kind of person, but some people don't believe it, and they still spread lies everywhere." Now that Brother Shen Dao is here, who said he was a liar before, come out! ”

"Yes, stand up!"

A group of Taoists were shouting and listening to anger, but the joy began to overflow.

"Brother Dao......"

She Hui bowed to the ground, and when she got up again, there were already tears in her eyes.

"Poor Dao thought that it would be difficult to touch the Dan furnace in this life, but Brother Dao actually ...... Poor Dao knows that this matter is difficult, and Brother Dao does his best for my Izumo Temple......"

He solemnly bowed, "Thank you, Brother Dao!" ”

The ecstatic Taoists all saluted in solemnity.

"Thank you, Brother Dao!"

The sound reverberated in the sky above Izumokan, and the trees that looked sluggish at low temperatures shook slightly, and the eyes were full of life......

……

The fourth watch is here, good night everyone.
