The affairs of the smelting workshop are complicated, because it involves the precision smelting furnace and smelting process, Fu Yuanling did not put down his homework even if he was raising a fetus in the mansion during these days, and searched everywhere for recipes and skills related to smelting.

Insiders deceive outsiders, but insiders compete with each other to distinguish the high and low and see the ability.

Fu Yuanling has always been where there is a deficiency to make up for it, and the more he looks at it, the more he feels that this knowledge is somewhat interesting.

The work of attacking gold is divided into upper Qi and lower Qi, just like when smelting bronze, it is necessary to match the proportion of copper, tin, lead and other metals, and the formula containing more tin and lead is called Xia Qi, and the smelting furnace of Shang Qi and Xia Qi is separated.

If it is further finely divided, there are Zhong Ding's Qi, Axe Jin's Qi, Ge Halberd's Qi, Da Blade's Qi, Xiao, Killing Arrow's Qi and Jiansui's Qi, the proportions are different, and the things that are smelted and cast are naturally different.

Fu Yuanling read carefully, and will go to the smelting workshop to observe the scene when he has time, all experienced craftsmen will be called by her to ask for advice, Fu Yuanling does not feel that it is a shameful thing to ask craftsmen, Confucius said that he is not ashamed to ask, there must be my teacher in the threesome.

For example, the outer skin of the iron-making furnace should be built with gravel, and the sandy refractory soil should be used inside, in addition to the construction of pillar holes, fire pits, ash pits, etc., the size and depth are exquisite.

If you are not careful, you will lose all your efforts.

Fu Yuanling just recorded a thick book of codex, and she flipped through it when she had nothing to do, and by the time the first batch of smelting furnaces was completed, she had already mastered these theoretical knowledge, and she would know whether it was good or bad just when it came out of practice.

Although she doesn't have to learn to be proficient, at least when others mention this, she won't be a fool and don't know anything.

Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the war report from the West Linguan was sent to Shangjing, and there was a large-scale battle between the Great Cadres and the Northern Xinjiang, and both sides had casualties, mainly competing for the grain planted by the people of the Great Cadres outside the West Linguan.

Now in the autumn harvest season, the northern Xinjiang raided the grain fields overnight, thanks to the old general Zhao and Xiao Jiuqi, who had already prepared, the two armies were close to each other, and it was followed by a big battle.

Fu Yuanxian took a group of soldiers and young people to harvest grain overnight, and those who were older and could not go into battle met at the city gate to transport grain to the city.

Even so, two teams from Northern Xinjiang came to harass and seize grain, and this battle for grain was the first large-scale battle after Xiao Jiuqi arrived at Xilinguan.

The cavalry of the northern Xinjiang was brave and good at fighting, and they also snatched a lot of food.

Although it is not a big victory, a small victory can also add a lot of words to the Mid-Autumn Festival of the people of Shangjing.

Especially this time the participation of the whole people is high, after all, many people are renting workshops in the brocade workshop, which is real money to support the war in Xilinguan, and now General Zhao Lao has won the battle with King Jin, which has greatly encouraged the people.

Many people said that because of their money, the officers and men were able to go to the battlefield with a full stomach.

The people's morale is unprecedentedly high, and there are even merchants who privately inquire about whether the smelting workshop will be leased.

But now that Daqian has won the battle, everyone wants to add icing on the cake and continue to support the soldiers of Xilinguan, so they have remembered what the brocade workshop did before.

They can't do anything else, but it's okay for everyone to scrape together money and rent a workshop.

It adds up.

At this stall, Qiao Anyi went to the business alliance to discuss the smelting workshop with Qi Ruozhong and several other big merchants.

The management of the smelting workshop is in the imperial court, and the right to manage the accounts is in the merchants, and the adults from the Ministry of Industry were invited to discuss this time, but the negotiations did not go well.

The Ministry of Industry means to follow the example of the brocade workshop, after all, if it is successful, it will not be too bad to paint a tiger according to the cat.

Merchants want to maximize the benefits of the money spent, the general direction is different, and the rules cannot be agreed, especially in the distribution of rights and responsibilities.

As soon as the adults in the Ministry of Industry left, Qiao Anyi's face was not good-looking, and he looked at the others and said, "What do you think?" ”

Old Man Nie sneered, "It's useless for us to have more ideas, these adults of the Ministry of Industry, where can they afford us merchants." ”

To put it bluntly, it is to bully others.

Old Man Wu looked at Qiao Anyi, "In my opinion, I still have to ask Miss Fu to come forward." ”

He accentuated his tone on the words Miss Fu.

"The eldest girl is pregnant, and it is only more than a month before the delivery date, so she is bothered and labored at this time, and I can't open this mouth." Qiao Anyi said with a faint expression, "After all, the eldest girl has made it clear before, and if we can't negotiate, then we still don't have the ability." ”

Qi Ruozhong looked at Qiao Anyi to protect their eldest girl and was very satisfied, and also knew that this matter was tricky, and he didn't want Qiao Anyi to offend too many people, so he said with a smile: "Thank you for thinking about our eldest girl, this is a big deal after all, if you have a good intention, I will also return to the eldest girl truthfully, if you continue to discuss, I will go to the palace to pay tribute." ”

Old Man Jiang and the others' eyes lit up, and they immediately said, "Go, go." If it weren't for the fact that no one in the DPRK and China was not good at being an official, we would be weak and short of breath if there was no one on our heads. ”

Their identities are only suppressed and beaten by the court, but Princess Jin is not.

Qi Ruozhong bowed his hand and said goodbye and went to King Jin's mansion, and the rest of the people sat down and continued to discuss.

Old Mrs. Yan looked at everyone and spoke slowly, "According to the eldest girl in this smelting workshop, the silver money we took out was only invested in the construction of the first batch of furnaces and the purchase of ores. After that, the second batch will be built, and the third batch will be built, and I will find someone to quietly inquire about it, and last year, the Bureau produced more than 300,000 catties of iron, and did not add other gold, silver, copper, tin and other things. ”

Everyone was shocked, so many?

It's not easy to inquire about the news from the Bureau, but I didn't expect that the Yan family was not amazing, but the news was well-informed.

Everyone understands what Mrs. Yan means, who can be willing to eat such a mouthful of fat in her mouth if she doesn't eat it in her stomach?

But if you cooperate with the imperial court this time and are pressed and beaten by the imperial court, how will you talk about it later?

This business can't be discussed, but I'm afraid that in the end, they will make wedding clothes for the imperial court, and then the advantages that Miss Fu has won will all be ruined.

Before, everyone didn't want to have a hard time with the court, so when they discussed, their attitude was gentle, even if they scolded their mother in their hearts, they didn't show it.

But now that Mrs. Yan has been reminded, everyone has sobered up, and some old faces are red.

Hey, when you get old, you lose the courage and courage you had when you were young.

Qiao Anyi also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was afraid that this group of old foxes wanted to take advantage and didn't want to offend people, where could there be such a good thing.

Mrs. Yan understands that a group of men is not as good as a woman.
