Time is easy to pass in leisure, since Li San went to Chang'an, half a month has passed in a blink of an eye. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

For half a month, the snow in Qingzhou was intermittent, the snow in the city was enough to reach people's knees, and the sun came out to melt the snow, and the roads were very muddy.

As a result, the people in Qingzhou City are even more reluctant to come out and walk around.

Xiao Ming has the same thoughts as the people, except for going to the equipment department to supervise, he is drawing in the palace on weekdays, and today the structure of the Galen ship, the overall renderings, and the node diagram have all come out.

"Luckily, I still have some art skills." Xiao Ming was proud, and in modern times, his only hobby was drawing comics, so he had some dabbling in drawing.

Although he only uses a brush, he draws this picture well, and the lines are clear and not inferior to the computer.

"Your Highness is so pleased." Pothos brought breakfast at this time.

After the winter, this food is more monotonous, breakfast is just two pieces of bread, gnocchi soup and the like, but there are more hunters at this time, so there are some venison, wild fowl and the like on the market.

Now that the Qi Wangfu has silver, it can also eat meat every once in a while.

"The ship painted by this king is finally finished." Xiao Ming happily took the dough, and his fingers slid on the pothos' little hand by the way.

The green pothos glanced at Xiao Ming, and she was also used to Xiao Ming's character.

Looking at the dozen or so pictures on the board, the pothos stuck out her tongue, "Your Highness is really powerful, if this is a pothos, I don't know when and when I can draw so much." ”

Xiao Ming is on the rise, the drawings are out, and it's time for Zhang Liang to move.

He believes that in terms of shipbuilding technology, Dayu is still not lagging behind at this stage, and what is backward is only solidified thinking and technology.

"What's so difficult about this, there is nothing to do at night, you come here, this king will give you some pointers, and I will ensure that you can make rapid progress." Xiao Ming said while eating the cake.

The pothos blushed and said, "Your Highness must be playing tricks on the pothos again, so that the slave and maid will not be fooled." After speaking, the green pothos pouted and walked out of Xiao Ming's bedroom.

Xiao Ming smiled evilly and watched the pothos go back, hurriedly ate breakfast, and he went to the equipment department with the drawings.

In this cold winter, I can't go anywhere else, and I can only go back and forth between the Instrument Division and the palace.

And taking advantage of the winter farming season, he also wants to set up some simple workshops, so that they can be used after the beginning of spring.

"Your Highness." Chen Qi saw Xiao Ming coming, bowed down and said.

Unlike other places, the Instrument Division at this time was still a fiery scene, the craftsmen and servants were very busy, and in the backyard of the Instrument Division, two blast furnaces more than three meters high were rising from the ground.

On either side of the blast furnace are steps of earth compacting for feeding, and at the bottom, each blast furnace is connected to a large bellows for air blowing.

In front of the blast furnace, there were some black things, not coal, but coke that Xiao Ming asked Chen Qi to burn.

"How's it going, how is this blast furnace ironmaking test?" Xiao Ming asked.

The mature technology taught by Xiao Ming has saved Chen Qi a lot of detours, but the specific process still needs down-to-earth experiments.

"Back to Your Highness, this coke was not successfully fired at the beginning, and there was too much iron slag that was practiced, and then we adjusted the temperature and stuffed the carbon more tightly to get qualified coke, and when we made iron, we adjusted the wind and coke amount many times before refining qualified wrought iron." Chen Qi said.

Since Xiao Ming asked him to use blast furnace to smelt iron, he has been pounced on this, and now he has finally succeeded in smelting wrought iron.

Xiao Ming nodded, "Yes, once the crucible is produced, these wrought iron can be refined into qualified steel, and the strength of our machine tool tools can also be strengthened." ”

"We're waiting for the money steward to come back, it stands to reason that this money steward has been out for more than twenty days, why hasn't he come back yet?" Chen Qi is almost obsessed with craftsmanship, and he can't help but be a little anxious at this time.

Xiao Ming frowned, he was also a little worried, this is another heavy snow road closure, and another thief infested, but don't have another accident.

Glancing at the cooked discus that had been refined, Xiao Ming said: "Don't worry, there is a lot of work in the Equipment Division, you can be busy with other things first, by the way, how did Zhang Liang and the others perform during this time?" ”

Chen Qi seemed to have forgotten Zhang Liang and the others, and at this time Xiao Ming mentioned it and said: "Your Highness, these people have been in charge of some hard work, but they are diligent, what is Your Highness looking for them?" ”

Xiao Ming lit up the drawings in his hand, "For this, I'm afraid the Equipment Department will have to help produce some parts at that time." ”

"Your Highness, can you let me take a look?" Chen Qi looked like he was scratching his ears and cheeks.

Xiao Ming knew Chen Qi's temperament, and he didn't tease him, so he handed him the drawings.

"This is a ship?" Chen Qi glanced at it and exclaimed, "But I've really never seen this kind of ship." ”

"This kind of ship was originally called the Galen ship, and after many improvements by the king, now the king calls him the Qingzhou ship." Xiao Ming said.

Chen Qi probably flipped it over and returned it to Chen Qi, scratched his head and said, "Your Highness, I'm afraid I can't do anything about shipbuilding, I have never learned it before." ”

"I'm not asking you to build ships, I'm just asking you to cooperate in the production of some parts." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Chen Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered, "I said why did His Highness look for Zhang Liang, didn't his family run a shipyard before?" I'm going to call him. ”

After a while, Chen Qi brought Zhang Liang over, and Zhang Liang bowed down and said, "The old slave has seen His Highness." ”

"No courtesy." Xiao Ming helped Zhang Liang up and said: "Let you come over this time, this king has something to entrust to you, and it is a waste to let your Zhang family be coolies, come, you can take a look at this and weigh whether it can be manufactured." ”

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, took Xiao Ming's drawings, and after looking at it, the whole person was stunned like a wooden chicken, and it took a long time to quickly turn over each page of drawings like crazy, and in the end, Zhang Liang's hands couldn't stop trembling.

"Your Highness, how did Your Highness get this drawing? This kind of ship is unheard of, but in the experience of old slaves, this ship is very suitable for sea navigation. Zhang Liang said.

Xiao Ming nodded, just this sentence, it shows that Zhang Liang still has some skills, and he can see the technical content in it, he said: "You don't have to ask about this, this king only asks you, are you willing to build this ship for this king?" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Liang said without hesitation: "It's better than being here all day long with ore cinders." ”

"Well, in that case, this king will restore your shipyard, but from now on, your shipyard will be an official camp, and you will have no contact with you, are you willing?"

Zhang Liang sighed and said: "The old slave is now wearing a sinful body and a slave, just hoping to be able to live up to his life's learning." ”

"Well, in a few days, you and your people will go back to the shipyard, and I will handle the affairs of the Qin family." Xiao Ming said.

Zhang Liang's previous shipyard had been held by the Qin family, and Xiao Ming had to ask for it back, so he decided on this matter, and the Instrument Department had nothing else to do, so he went back to the palace.

And at this moment, the merchant ships of the Qin family slowly docked at the dock of Chang'an, the capital of the Great Chongqing Kingdom.

Li San got off the boat and looked at the majestic Chang'an City not far away, dumbfounded.
