Greeting Director Chen and Director Niu, Sun Chengping said: "Why are the two directors free today? On weekdays, he is reluctant to leave the steel furnace for a single step. ”

Director Chen said: "I heard that a stove was built to fry steel, let's come over to have a look and celebrate." ”

After speaking, he pointed to the little guy who followed behind the two. The two servants each carried a chicken and a vat of wine.

Sun Chengping said happily: "The two directors have a heart. Seeing that it is getting late, why don't you go to the prison first, and I will call Du Guanren. ”

Director Chen didn't doubt him, and was about to agree, but was pulled down by Director Niu next to him. Director Chen suddenly woke up, only to realize that today's Sun Chengping was different from the past and was too enthusiastic. The three are all fried steel, but Sun Chengping's family is small and thin, and according to past habits, he is not qualified to be called the Chen family and the Niu family. Here today, like the master, come and wait.

Supervisor Niu said: "It's good that the wine and meat are carried from the little guy to the prison, and since we have arrived, why don't we go to meet the officials." ”

After speaking, he pulled Director Chen, regardless of Sun Chengping, and went to the frying furnace. Director Chen has already understood the taste, the frying steel stove here is different from his own home, isn't there something weird? Sun Chengping stopped here, a little strange.

Seeing the two of them go around and move forward, Sun Chengping didn't have time to intercept him, so he jumped to his feet in a hurry.

At this time, the sun was slanting in the west, and a touch of afterglow sprinkled on the earth, drawing a circle of gold edges on the frying steel furnace. After a day of burning, the surroundings were steaming, and the craftsmen here were sweating profusely. Five big men were pulling bellows on the side, and the fire in the furnace was raging, and the molten iron kept coming out of the taphole.

When they got closer, they were stunned to see this scene. This is completely different from their steel frying furnaces, which are much more advanced even from the outside. In particular, the red molten iron coming out of the tap hole especially shocked the two supervisors. What comes out of their frying furnaces is all iron like tofu slag, which has a lot of impurities in it, and needs to be constantly forged to become iron ingots. And the molten iron that comes out here is poured directly into the fan next to it, which is a good iron ingot.

After being speechless for a while, Director Chen said, "Ah, what kind of stove is this?" How can it be so powerful! Wouldn't frying steel like this cost hundreds of catties a day? Ah, how much money does such a stove make in a day! ”

Pig iron frying mature iron, the loss is generally about one-third to one-half, plus a lot of labor and fuel costs, the price increases several times. A steel frying furnace like this, because it comes out with crude iron ingots, is almost a mountain of gold here.

Seeing Sun Chengping catching up, Director Chen teased: "No wonder Sun Yuanwai didn't let us come over to watch, it turned out that there was a new stove here." Such an iron furnace, day and night, I don't know how much money to make! It's just, Director Sun, such a good thing, why don't you let your neighbors know? ”

Director Niu said coldly: "With Sun Yuanwai's net worth, can you afford to build such a big furnace?" ”

Anyway, the two had already met, so Sun Chengping no longer concealed it, and protested: "Don't worry, two directors, I have my own way." Speaking of which, I can't blame me, the officials went to find you first. It was you who repeatedly pushed back and came to me. Now I know how to build the stove very well, and when this is the case, I will have a way to go back and build one in the same way. It's just two supervisors, and it's not easy to build according to it. ”

Director Niu's face was gloomy, knowing that what Sun Chengping said was right. Du Zhongxiao found himself that day, but the two of them coveted their own work and turned away the opportunity, and now they know that it is too late. If Du Zhongxiao is evil in the front, there will be no one to help the yamen, and Sun Chengping will monopolize the business, let alone teach. This stove looks weird, completely different from the original use, and it can't be built without anyone to teach it.

Pulling Director Chen to the side, Supervisor Niu said: "A furnace like this, once it is built nearby, it will inevitably make money every day." The sooner we learn, the sooner we will make money. It's just that now it seems that Sun Chengping will inevitably not teach us. Alas, it's a pity that I hated that Du official a few days ago, and I want to learn from the yamen, but I'm afraid it's not easy. We will celebrate in a while, and we will flatter Du Guanren more. Remember, remember! ”

Director Chen nodded repeatedly. If you knew that you would learn these things that day, you would have stopped the two steel furnaces, and the two of them would also bring people to help the yamen build the furnaces. At that time, I had a bad thought, and I ended up with such a result.

Leaving the stove, Director Chen and Director Niu looked at the wrought iron place next to them and sighed together. In the end, the yamen is atmospheric, and it is such a big industry as soon as it is shot. Looking at the situation here, you can fry one or two thousand catties of iron a day, plus you can get the method while exercising, I don't know how much money you have to make a day. Count less, there are always dozens of times.

Seeing Du Zhongxiao and Tao Seventeen standing aside, Director Chen and Director Niu hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Du Zhongxiao looked at the two of them and said with a smile: "Why is the supervisor free today?" ”

Director Chen said: "I heard that a stove has been built here in the yamen to fry steel, and the two of us gathered some wine and meat and came to congratulate us. ”

"I have a heart." Du Zhongxiao nodded. "The stove is new, light the fire today, and the two of you look around. If there's anything inappropriate, just let me know. As long as it is useful to the yamen, I will be stingy with rewards. ”

Supervisor Niu said: "The officials are very well built here, how can we put a beak?" The little ones looked around and didn't bother the officials. ”

After speaking, he pulled Director Chen around to watch. Seeing that there were all water-powered forging hammers here, the two were envious. For this alone, I don't know how much manpower has been saved. It's a pity that the water conservancy government has a monopoly, and ordinary people can only think about it.

Looking at the forged steel ingots on one side, glowing with black light, very neat, you can see at a glance that there is no residue in it, far from being comparable to the two forged ones. Director Chen sighed: "The work of the yamen is not comparable to us. Look at these steel ingots, they are all iron fine. ”

Director Niu nodded again and again, envious. I have been running two families for several generations, with hard work, compared with here, but it is nothing.

Walking in front of the steel ingot, Director Niu couldn't help it, and couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it.

Tao Seventeen, who was on the other side, saw it, strode up, grabbed Director Niu, and said, "You fool, what are you going to do!" ”

Supervisor Niu said: "I see that this iron is so cute, I can't help but want to touch it, and it doesn't slip to see if it's slippery." ”

Tao Qiqi said sharply: "This steel ingot has just been removed from the anvil, and it looks jet black, but it is actually extremely hot. When you touch your hands, you have to peel off at least a few layers of skin! You are a person who has been working by the iron furnace all year round, how can you be so reckless! ”

Director Niu was excited, and hurriedly thanked Tao Seventeen. When he arrived here, he was shocked by the scene here, and Director Niu was distracted for a while, and he actually did such a brainless thing. These iron ingots don't look red, and the actual temperature is still very high, where do you dare to touch them with your hands. Director Niu has been firing steel all his life, because of this incident, I don't know how many people have been reprimanded, but I didn't expect to make such a low-level mistake.

Tao Qiqi didn't bother to pay attention to him, and according to Du Zhongxiao's instructions, he commanded several van troops, collected the rolled steel plates, picked them up with a flat pole, and prepared to transport them to the freight yard in Datong Prison. These steel plates are what Du Zhongxiao cares about the most, and other steel ingots and steel bars are just general high-quality.

No matter how good the iron is, it must be sold to make money. For the government, it is really not easy to sell things, either to suppress the distribution to the people, or to set up a market to sell. Where to find a merchant who buys iron in this place?
