Liu Mu finished talking about the reward. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Thanks, Xie Langjun." The craftsman was a slave and kowtowed heavily.

He believed Yanagiki's words, and Yanagiki's promises were very credible.

It was once said that these people work hard and have half a pound of meat every day. But now there is a pound of meat per person every day.

At that moment, the craftsman made a decision on behalf of the people in the workshop: "We would like to change to three shifts a day." ”

"Striking iron is hard work. After a long time, the physical strength is insufficient, and I can't make good steel. As for the third shift, we will talk about it in the future. At present, according to the rules of the fourth class, work hard and make iron. ”

"Yes."

Li Yuan said at this time: "Just use the molten steel from the furnace just now, you can make a knife for me, a short knife." I'm not in a hurry, three or five days is not a long time. I want to see your craft. ”

"Thank you, thank you, saint." The craftsman was very moved.

Being able to fight a short knife for the Tang Emperor is something he can't think of as a slave, and it also makes the people next to him envious.

Out of the steel mill, Li Yuan smiled all over his face: "Very good, very good." I believe in what you said about 5,000 stone of iron, and now it seems that this place is well built, and 10,000 stone steel a year is not a problem. ”

Throughout the Tang Dynasty, the peak steel production was 5,000 tons.

5,000 tons is equivalent to 100,000 stone steel.

Liu Mu has already surprised Li Yuan here, it can indeed produce 100,000 stone steel a year.

But no one understands better than Liumu, who knows that later generations can directly turn ore into steel, and there are two or three hundred tons in one furnace, and one ton here is actually less than two hundred kilograms, one percent of the output.

And the manpower consumption is huge.

There are hundreds of people in the workshop, and there are ore smashers, coking people, and feldspar people outside. And that's not even counting coal digging, feldspar, and transportation. More than 10,000 people are busy here, and the number of 100,000 stone is the first time that Liu Mu has a lack of confidence.

Helplessly, there is really no way to compare the era of big machine industry with the era of full manpower.

However, the Tang Emperor Li Yuan was satisfied.

Leaving the steel mill, Liu Mu invited the Tang Emperor Li Yuan to sit in a soft sedan chair, and it would take at least a day to walk from the so-called palace built by Liu Mu.

That night, while temporarily camping in a valley to rest, Liu Mu came to Li Yuan's tent.

"Sage, do you want to send a bigger official to take charge of this steel mill?"

"Why send another bigger officer?" Li Yuan asked.

"Because, if you make your own armor privately, you will be exiled for 3,000 miles, and this steel mill minister doesn't want it anymore." Liu Mu called himself a minister because he was already an official.

Li Yuan was thinking, is Liu Mu retreating as advancing, or is he really afraid that this steel mill will make trouble for himself.

In the end, Li Yuan still said: "I don't want to. It is enough for you to hand in 30,000 stone steel every year, and the rest will be discussed. Li Yuan rejected Liu Mu's proposal. At the end, Li Yuan also added: "This is a holy order, and it cannot be violated." ”

"Yes."

Li Yuan said to Liu Mu again: "I thought it was better for you to stay away from Chang'an. ”

"Thank you, saint." Liu Mu also wanted to run far, and it was best to take tens of thousands of people to Hainan Island.

Now that his identity is clear, in the whirlpool of the Prince's Mansion and the Qin Palace, Liu Mu feels very troublesome.

Just as Liu Mu was about to say that he was going to Laizhou, who thought that Li Yuan said again: "Although I think it is a good thing for you to stay away from Chang'an, you can't go." ”

Liu Mu really wanted to shout: You old man a few meanings, this is playing with me.

Li Yuan smiled: "This is called asking for trouble, once the output of the steel mill is known to the court, you can't do without Chang'an." ”

Yanagi regretted it, really regretted it.

should wait for Li Shimin to sit on the throne, and then build this steel mill, which can't be sent out now, so he has to get involved in the battle for the throne.

"Sage, Xiaomin go and go around the state, do you think it can be done?"

"Okay, I'm done." Li Yuan agreed.

The next day, we finally arrived at the location of the later Renzhi Palace, where it was impossible to build a palace complex in a very short time, but dozens of chic wooden houses could be built. The Janissaries used tents on the perimeter, and wooden huts could be allocated quite a few.

"Sage, do you remember the interesting story that the minister told you?" Liu Mu holds a box of mahjong in both hands.

In one day, Liu Mu made the Tang Emperor fall in love with mahjong.

And Liu Mu also found an excuse to leave Yaozhou and ran back to Sanyuan.

Dugu Lanruo, who came back with Liu Mu, sat in a carriage with Liu Mu when he was on the road.

"Tell me, what's going on?" What Dugu Lan didn't understand was that Liu Mu didn't want to be an official, but why did he suddenly become an official. There must be some reason for this, and she patiently asked only at this point.

Liu Mu asked Dugu Lanruo to lean next to him: "This is called death, and you will make trouble for yourself." I thought I was very good, but suddenly I realized that I was actually very ordinary. The matter is very simple, I was involved in the dispute between the Prince's Mansion and the Qin Palace, and the sage asked me to be an official, that is, to let me go from the dark to the light. ”

"It's protecting you." Although Dugu Lanruo is a woman, her knowledge is not bad.

Liu Mu nodded: "That's right, this is protecting me." It seems safe to hide in the dark, but if the Qin Wangfu and the Prince's Mansion are in the same situation, the people hiding in the shadows are more dangerous, and I am the petty official of the Qin Wangfu in the light, and no one will move me without an excuse. ”

"You're not stupid."

"I'm trying to persuade others myself, and standing in the middle is the saddest thing at this time. It's really stupid to put on a posture of standing in the middle. But I still want to hide for a few days, I calculated the time, just ten days and half a month is enough, and the ten days and a half month when the prince's grounding just ended. Yanagi spoke his mind.

Dugu Lanruo asked, "How to hide?" ”

"Borrow and send medicinal herbs to ordnance, run once and merge with the state. And then come back, and the time will be about the same. ”

Dugu Lanruo calculated in her heart, it seemed to be just as Liu Mu said.

Liu Mu wanted to hide not from the prince, but Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui. Liu Mu didn't want the Tang Emperor to think that he was a small conspirator, so when the Qin Palace's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion were at war again, Liu Mu was ready to avoid it.

At least for the first time, don't let yourself play.

Finally, the convoy returned to Mihara.

Dugu Lanruo turned around and glanced north: "Actually, it's good on the mountain over there in Huayuan." Are you worried that you will make a mistake in front of the saints? ”

"It's not. I am concerned about my field. Liu Mu replied with a smile.

Yanagi really wanted to return to Sanyuan because the harvest season was about to come.

But to Liu Mu's surprise, it was only a day back, and before he recovered from the fatigue of the journey, there was a bad guest at home.

Cui Yiye has been staring at Sanyuan here, and Liu Mu came over from Chang'an as soon as he came back.

The house where Liu Mu lived was the one given by Li Bi, and the one that temporarily let the Tang Emperor Li Yuan live for a few days.

Cui Yiye didn't come alone, he still brought Dou Shikuan and ten carriages as gifts. The first of them had a chest full of silver cakes on one of the carriages.
