After interpenetrating with Lord Hou, he became addicted to house fighting

Chapter 374

Rong An listened carefully, and then asked: "In the past, I heard that there is a kind of stone that has a suction force that can absorb iron objects. It's called a magnet.

"Cishan is named after this, but is it rich in magnets?"

Rong Zhan nodded with a smile: "Master Hou's guess is right. But it's not completely right.

"It is true that there are a lot of lodestones on Magnetic Mountain, but there are more iron ores."

Rong An's expression became serious, and his eyes became sharper, "Could it be that they have the intention of treason?"

Rong Zhan stretched out a finger and shook it.

Rong An immediately changed his words, "That's right, the Empress Dowager supported the Third Prince, and the Chen family has infiltrated a lot of forces in the court, but their hands in the army cannot be extended that far.

"It is not that simple to control an army. In addition to providing money, it also needs to be supported by sophisticated weapons, otherwise it will be defeated in one blow.

"It's useless for Empress Dowager Chen to ask for a straggler.

"Is this the Queen Mother's armory?"

Rong Zhan nodded slightly, "It's not just that. Guess, what is their purpose of imprisoning the three members of the Chu family?"

Rong An frowned slightly, "Chu Daru is famous all over the world, it is not difficult to imagine that he can be used to control the hearts of scholars all over the world.

"But Second Uncle Chu and Young Master Chu..."

He thought of the preferences of the two mentioned by Chu Yin, but he couldn't analyze anything.

"Both of them have their own strengths," Rong Zhan said with a chuckle, "Master Chu liked to travel since he was a child, and he followed his family's stewards to do business in neighboring countries when he was young.

"From then on, I became more interested, and when I got my hair tied, I started to go out with the caravan carrying a bookcase on my back.

"He is smart, he can speak official Chinese fluently, but whenever he goes to a place and talks to people for a while, he can speak the local dialect.

"Traveling in various countries, I also like to make friends with celebrities from various countries, collect classics from various countries, and study the languages ​​​​of various countries.

"As for Mr. Chu, he also has the same hobbies as his uncle, and likes to travel.

"It is said that one year he went to a poor countryside with his uncle and felt that the farm tools used by the farmers were too outdated. If a little improvement can be made, most of the manpower can be saved."

Chu Dunmin encouraged his nephew to study.

Chu Zhiwen is a serious person. He started to study those farm tools seriously, and then went to the blacksmith shop to learn how to swing a sledgehammer, and made the parts of the farm tools himself.

Unexpectedly, the work was really done by him. The farm tools with new parts save time and effort in use. What can be done in one day can be done in half a day after improvement.

Chu Zhiwen then felt that blacksmithing is also something to learn.

Chu Dunmin didn't restrain his nephew, and continued to move forward, letting his nephew stay to study with the blacksmith. After half a year, he came back to pick him up, and found that the handsome white-faced scholar had turned into a red-faced man.

Not only is he good at making iron, but also through his research on iron ore, the flexibility of the forged iron has been enhanced several times, and it is no longer easy to break.

Because of this, the blacksmith shop where he lives is booming, and orders have been scheduled until the next year.

Chu Dunmin tested whether his nephew knew what was happening, and whether he knew why.

Chu Zhiwen took out the manuscript he had sorted out.

Chu Dunmin greatly appreciated it, but also pointed out that there is still room for improvement.

So the uncle and nephew went all the way to find ways to improve.

Later, Chu Zhiwen had a more profound and unique understanding of forging iron.

He also personally forged two soft swords that could be wrapped around his waist as defenses for his uncle and nephew.

What embodies ingenuity is that the tip of the sword can be forked.
