Chapter 153

The next day, Ren 8000 got up to wash and began to pack up. After everything was ready, he went to see the female emperor first.

This time, the place is no longer the heart nourishing hall, but the Jinluan hall. Ren 8000 is here for the first time.

When he arrived, the female emperor sat on the top golden chair, and several people were standing in it below.

"I have seen your majesty." After seeing the ceremony, Ren 8000 honestly stood aside and looked at several others. One of them was a big man wearing iron armor and holding a helmet in his hand, and there was a feather on the helmet. His skin was bronze. He looked like he was in his thirties and was a military attache of grade six.

There are also two people, one in his forties, with a lot of beards, looking up and down at Ren 8000.

Another man was in his thirties and nearly 40 years old. His body was slightly thinner than that of the ancient people, but he was a big man compared with Ren 8000.

The former is from the three grade official clothes, and the latter is from the five grade official clothes.

"Ren 8000!" The female emperor heard a cool voice from above.

"I'm here." Ren 8000 hurriedly took a few steps and was facing the female emperor.

"There are eight thousand lecturers in Qingxin hall. They are very talented and devoted to their duties. Jin is the Prime Minister of the central imperial palace. So far, they take office immediately."

Ren 8000 was stunned at first, and then knelt down on one knee: "thank you, your majesty."

I was a little confused. I was promoted directly within two minutes after I came in. Moreover, he was promoted directly from Grade 8 to grade 5, which was faster than taking a rocket.

Let's calculate that it has been less than three months since Ren 8000 arrived in the world, and he has taken the road that others have taken all his life.

Ordinary officials and military generals can hardly be promoted so quickly even with great credit.

But the other three didn't have any accidents.

After all, everyone knows his identity. If nothing happens, he will be the prince in the future. Now his official position is just a transition.

Moreover, his majesty promoted him to be the Prime Minister of the central imperial palace, which is in itself responsible for the affairs of the palace, which is different from the six departments of the central government and the positions in the army.

"This time, the main task is to appoint 8000 as the Prime Minister of the central imperial palace, assisted by Tao Jiyuan, the chief of the Ordnance Department, to inspect Damo mountain and Liucui mountain and find ways to increase the output of iron ore. if it can be effective, I will give you a big reward."

"Yes, your majesty." Ren 8000 and Tao Jiyuan both bowed their heads and answered their orders.

When Ren 8000 heard these words, he knew why the female emperor wanted to be promoted to an official. If you are the principal in this iron mine, the position from the eighth grade is too low.

I was promoted from five grades to the same as the ordnance doctor. With my special identity, I was almost the same as the main thing.

"Wei Tengji of Yi health school, you take 300 flying horses to protect along the way. If there is any problem, take you as a question." The female emperor said coldly again.

The general in armor should be at once.

He naturally knew who the empress asked him to protect.

If they are in danger at the same time, I'm afraid they must bring Ren Fucheng back.

Otherwise, I really have to raise my head.

"Go back and prepare. Set out in the afternoon and let 8000 stay." When the female emperor finished, Tao Jiyuan and Tengji withdrew one after another.

"This is the wind throat of the Secretary of ordnance. I have something to ask you."

"I have seen the Secretary of ordnance." Ren 8000 turned and arched his hand.

"Ren Fucheng, I want to ask, are you sure about expanding iron ore production?" The wind throat turned and looked at Ren 8000.

"It depends on the content and distribution of iron ore. if it's just difficult to mine, there should be some ways." Ren 8000 thought about it and said.

"According to your majesty, Ren Fucheng also has ways to smelt iron ore and forge weapons? I don't know if I can say that I'm ready." The wind throat asked again.

"Smelting iron ore is mainly due to insufficient temperature and unstable temperature. The simple way is to use bellows. However, in the long run, steel-making furnace is required to continuously make steel. This process is also very simple, with small equipment demand and high stability.

If the steel produced contains low carbon and few impurities, it can be directly forged, which saves a lot of manpower compared with the manual forging method. " Ren 8000 explained.

"What is a bellows? What is a steelmaking furnace? What is steel?" The wind throat frowned and asked three questions in a row.

As for the husband chosen by his majesty, he is the same as everyone in the court. Otherwise, everyone would not have opposed him at the beginning.

On the one hand, his strength is too weak. On the other hand, he doesn't see his ability except flattering.

His majesty called them in this morning and said something before.

Your majesty wants to expand iron ore production.

Not only your majesty, but also the whole work department racked their brains, but there was no good way. It was really too difficult to mine the two iron mountains.

Over the years, it has been mined slowly. Countless people racked their brains to no avail, and everyone thought it was the only way.

This time, your majesty asked Ren 8000 to be the main task to inspect the mine and find a way.

If that's the case, he won't say anything. He has to do it. Anyway, he will benefit from being a Ordnance Department. It doesn't matter if he can't do it.

But your majesty means that he will also intervene in the smelting and forging of weapons, so he can't help it. He stepped in. What did he do as secretary of ordnance?

And does this really know how to mine, smelt and forge weapons?

If he is really capable, the Ordnance Department can listen to him. Otherwise, I can't let him get involved in the Ordnance Department.

Therefore, I propose to ask this Ren Shuo.

Ren 8000 didn't mind this, but explained in detail:

"You can try the bellows. In such a large box, there are handles and push plates on one side, and there are air inlets. Then one person pushes and pulls on the other side to send the air.

The air is full of oxygen, and the fire will burn better naturally. Moreover, if someone keeps pushing and pulling, the fire will be more stable and the temperature will be higher, which is convenient for smelting... "Ren 8000 probably made a gesture.

"As for the steel-making furnace, we must first say what is steel. Ordinary iron will be very brittle if it is used to make weapons, so it needs to be forged to remove the magazines and reduce the carbon content. The final result is actually steel

The steelmaking furnace directly removes the iron in the smelting process, reduces the carbon content, and directly melts the steel, which can save at least a thousand hammers and a hundred forging efforts... "Ren 8000 said directly.

The wind throat frowned and didn't understand. A pile of things in Ren 8000's mouth made him feel sharp.

I have been in the Ordnance Department for more than ten years, and I know about everything from top to bottom without saying that I am proficient. But he didn't understand what he meant by what he said.

The empress looked at the wind throat below, frowned and thought hard, and the corners of her mouth turned up.

This is what she wants to see.

Man Chao's thoughts were clear to her.

The husband and son-in-law are chosen by themselves, and no one else is allowed to interrupt. But being looked at so lightly also made her unhappy.

Even if the wind throat doesn't jump out at this time, he will find such an opportunity sooner or later.
