It's scary, the group is actually full of ancient bigwigs

Chapter 162 Chapter 160 Black smoke is a scene of prosperity

Rich playboy-

"A few days ago, Chang'an blew up a Sifang steel furnace, and it ran for two years. At that time, Sang Hongyang cried miserably."

"The officer in charge of operating the steel furnace lay down directly and spent half a day in the rescue."

"His Majesty personally ordered to write a sacrificial oration, and he was buried according to the rites of princes."

Huo Qubing sighed.

This steel furnace is very cool.

……

The ancestor of China—

"Naturally, what you have done is not an exaggeration. One of our five parties here exploded because of insufficient maintenance. I was so angry that I immediately dismissed the official in charge. Li Si suggested killing him directly."

"I refused out of humanitarianism. I told him to go to the grassland to eat sand. He couldn't kill a thousand Huns to prevent him from coming back."

"I was so angry at the time, and my spirit was not good."

The more Shi Huang talked, the more angry he became, and he wanted to hit someone.

.........

Empress Dowager Zhang—

"The first emperor's approach is right. The steel furnace is a national treasure, not to mention that it was blown up because of poor maintenance, not to mention that it did not kill people, but it did kill people. It is their honor to bring a few people to be buried with them."

"The country's most important weapon, his death needs to be taken seriously and must be given enough respect."

"The ones buried with them only need to do a good job in pensions."

Mrs. Zhang spoke more harshly.

.........

I'm super cautious—

"I especially agree with the above point of view. Enough steel can do many great things, such as expanding the army."

"If there were ten five-square steel furnaces during Emperor Wu's time, Emperor Wu could send the entire Xiongnu to heaven."

Huo Guang stared at the black smoke in the live broadcast room with dazed eyes. This is really a guarantee of national power.

.........

loyalty-

"Because of the steel furnace technology, I have obtained the status of passing the imperial examination passed by the scholar-bureaucrat meeting."

"As long as my son takes the imperial examination, they can make it difficult for him to pass."

…………

Su Xi felt a little scared, you are using the steel furnace as your father.

If you are allowed to build a twelve-square steel furnace and it has been running for two years, if it blows up, you will not be buried with the emperor's ceremony.

Su Xi asked weakly.

"Gentlemen, what would you do if the steel furnace that had been in operation for three years on Twelve Fang exploded?"

Su Xi asked really-weakly.

As soon as Su Xi said this, the chat group was extremely silent, and no one spoke.

After about 3 minutes, Confucius spoke.

One-handed chariot—

"To be honest, if the steel furnace that has been in operation for three years in the twelve directions is scrapped, then we will use the funeral ceremony of the King of Zhou in the Spring and Autumn Period."

"The number of people buried will be counted in hundreds and thousands."

"Officials responsible for maintaining steel furnaces may be buried."

What Confucius could say was very straightforward.

The steel produced by a square steel furnace is enough to arm several legions every year, and the number of farm tools produced is as many as thousands.

The efficiency of steel furnace is gradually increasing.

A twelve-square steel furnace, so to speak, is enough to trigger a war of extermination.

If it runs for three years, the steel produced is immeasurable.

Confucius guessed that it would be enough for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to fight the war against the Xiongnu.

It doesn’t sound like much, but you have to know that even later, everyone has been seeking to replace iron with wooden farm tools. If the amount of iron used in farm tools is reduced, more steel can be used on the blade. .

In most ancient wars, it would be nice for a soldier to have a suit of leather armor on the battlefield.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had the inheritance left by the two emperors Wen and Jing. Facing the war against the Huns, they still couldn't have all the soldiers in iron armor, and most of the soldiers were still in leather armor.

But the Huns were even worse. Only Shanyu's personal guards could be fully armored, and it would be nice for the others to have an iron knife.

.........

The ancestor of China—

"If in Daqin, who can build a six-square steel furnace, and can continue to build five-square and four-square steel furnaces."

"I am willing to give the other party the highest title."

"Build a temple, let the other party enjoy the eternal incense, can be canonized as a god."

Shi Huang said excitedly.

Don't talk about twelve-square blast furnaces, as long as there is a craftsman who can continuously build qualified five-square blast furnaces, he can promise these.

It would be even better if each blast furnace could be guaranteed to operate for more than three to five years.

Su Xi was completely dumbfounded, is it so important?

……

The ancestor of China—

"Let me tell you so."

"The Great Qin Ruishi is unparalleled in the world, but do you know why everyone chooses the Great Qin Ruishi?"

Shi Huang's question made everyone puzzled.

"Because it saves money."

"Because Daqin Ruishi doesn't need to wear full armor."

"The Daqin Ruishi took a brisk path."

"A suit of iron armor is fine, and a suit of leather armor is also fine."

"With 60 Qin elites, we can't make up 60 leather armors. Only tens of thousands of the most elite have iron armors, and Qin swords with iron quality. Most of them are bronze swords."

The first emperor talked about the cruel reality, and everyone felt cold when they heard it.

"Xiang Lishi has developed an assembly line and standard tools, which only means that crossbow machines and crossbow arrows can be mass-produced, but iron armor and iron swords cannot be mass-produced."

"The restriction is not technology, but iron production."

"From stone to iron, the need for engineering is enormous."

"Da Qin, I can't do it."

"On the battlefield, the most important thing that the soldiers of Daqin need to do is to bring their weapons back before they die."

As the first emperor talked, he became lonely.

Not only the look, but also the spirit.

"After the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, Daqin had enough weapons, but the armor was still not enough."

"Because there are too many troops."

Shihuang's true narration made everyone calm down and listen to Shihuang's story quietly.

Su Xi was also silent. He understood that it wasn't these big shots who made a fuss, but the steel furnace was so important.

Gunpowder makes mining easier. Everyone connects with each other and knows where there is iron ore that can be dug.

And gunpowder makes mining easier, and the rest is iron and steel.

With enough iron, everyone's combat power can soar. With iron, agricultural production can explode, and the land can be more conveniently cultivated.

Su Xi licked her lips, she was really not in charge of the family and didn't know how expensive Chai Mi was.

.........

After calming down, Shihuang continued.

The ancestor of China—

"Everyone, do you know the excited expressions of those soldiers when a standard iron sword was sent to the front line?"

"Everyone, do you know the scene where the common people knelt on the ground after receiving a bunch of iron sickles, and asked me to replace the sickles with swords to defend the frontier?"

"Everyone, have you ever seen a scene of old farmers crying while holding iron farm tools?"

"Everyone, have you ever seen a scene where an old farmer treats iron farm tools like life?"

Shi Huang's voice became louder and louder, and finally roared directly.

"Steel is heavier than life, this is not a joke, it is a real scene."

"Black smoke is a scene of prosperity."
