Ying Zheng has great confidence in the development of iron smelting technology. After all, the best craftsmen of this era are gathered in the Shaofu now.

Similarly, the advance utilization of coal, coupled with his knowledge that has surpassed thousands of years in his mind, is another era in the history of China that is the most unpredictable and easiest to produce miracles.

After all, the bronze technology during the Qin Empire had developed into a kind of black technology, and such development was very surprising.

Similarly, Ying Zheng also gained greater confidence in the future of the Qin Empire.

"With His Majesty's strong support, I think the iron smelting technology of the Great Qin Empire will surely achieve rapid development!"

Xiangli'an did not refute or swear, but said something ordinary, and he knew in his heart that a country like the Great Qin Empire could turn decay into magic with the order.

As for the extent to which it will develop, it depends on the determination of the First Emperor.

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng glanced at Xiangli'an, pondered for a while, and said, "Which level has the iron smelting technology mastered by you, my dear?"

"Your Majesty, since the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chu State in the south and Yan State in the north were the first to master artificial iron smelting technology."

"The Yan people cast swords and used carburizing method to repeatedly forge the cracked iron into steel, and used quenching technology. They also pioneered local quenching, making the blade hard and sharp and the spine tough."

"Cat iron softening technology, this technology heat-treated decorative parts, or repeatedly break the castings after heating them, improving their toughness and reducing brittleness."

"After processing, the use range of cast iron can be expanded and the quality of cast iron can be improved."

"Later, with the war, during the Warring States Period, pig iron smelting technology appeared on the Central Plains. Now Qin Mo has mastered the technology of steelmaking in hundreds, but it is too slow."

Ying Zheng didn't know much about iron smelting technology, the only one he knew was the steelmaking and blast furnace method.

"The main raw materials for iron smelting are iron ore, coke, limestone, and air."

Ying Zheng's tone was quiet, and he looked towards Xiangli'an and said: "Before smelting, you must go through ore dressing, remove other impurities, improve the grade of iron ore, and then be crushed, grinded, and sintered before it can be sent to the blast furnace for smelting."

The function of coke is to provide heat and other functions. Limestone is used to build slag and remove gangues, so that the iron produced by smelting is separated from impurities."

"The main equipment for this kind of iron smelting is a blast furnace, and it looks like the one I have drawn. The specific situation still requires Shaofu to test it again and again."

"During smelting, iron ore, coke, and limestone are added from top to bottom from the furnace top feed port, and hot air is bulged from bottom to top from the air inlet into the furnace, and at high temperatures, it is fully contacted to obtain iron."

After saying that, Ying Zheng handed the picture of the blast furnace drawn by him according to the memory to Xiangli'an.

He knew in his heart that the blast furnace iron smelting method developed from a vertical furnace iron smelting method.

Although it is also a transitional stage, this is definitely not something that the Qin Empire should have appeared.

"promise."

Holding it in his hand, Xiangli's saddle was as if he had received a treasure. After coming to the Qin Empire, he even entered the Shao Mansion. Naturally, he was clear about the rumors about Ying Zheng.

Looking at Xiangli'an with a happy expression, Ying Zheng also felt a little moved. Fortunately, he was an emperor, otherwise, Li Kang's memory would not have any effect at all.

Only if he, standing at the peak of the empire's power and no one dares to refuse to follow the order, can he bring this half-understanding memory to the extreme.

After all, with his order, even the immortal medicine was constantly requested.

...

The thoughts flashed in his mind, Ying Zheng pondered for a moment, and said to Zhao Gao: "A novelist giant!"

"promise."

Novelists, that is, a group of writers, Ying Zheng did not look down on them or care too much about them. However, after getting Li Kang's memory, he found that these people were of great use.

Once used properly, it will be an extremely powerful weapon, and it will even be of great help to the popularization of law that Ying Zheng has always thought about.

It can even break the shortcomings that have always been, and even break the disadvantages of the thousand-year-old feudal dynasty.

Since ancient times, the imperial power has not been placed in the county!

Even the Great Qin Empire, let alone the land of Shandong, even in Guanzhong, the influence of imperial power is only limited to the county.

Below the county, the imperial court was unable to manage the jurisdiction at all.

The dynasties in later generations were even worse than those in the Qin Empire.

But it’s different with novelists. When papermaking and printing emerge and newspapers are launched, all this will be broken.

Truly control the entire Qin Empire!

Moreover, if you hold the newspaper in your hand, after the spread of the law, the Qin Dynasty's literacy campaign will be implemented. At that time, public opinion will be completely in the hands of the Qin Empire.

This is Ying Zheng’s purpose.

Therefore, Ying Zheng attaches great importance to the novelist giant. After all, as long as it is beneficial to the Qin Dynasty, even if he bows his head to a farmer, Ying Zheng feels nothing.

As the First Emperor, Ying Zheng didn't care about the opinions of the people in the world at all. So what about benevolent monarchs or tyrants?

All he wanted was to be a good emperor and let the Qin Empire prosper forever.

The others have little to do with him, and with his destiny, he can bear all the sins in the world.

...

"I, the novelist giant Li Jun, pays homage to Your Majesty, Your Majesty for ten thousand years, and the Qin Dynasty for ten thousand years!" Walking into the study of Xianyang Palace, Li Jun bowed solemnly towards Ying Zheng and said.

"The giant doesn't have to be too polite, take a seat!"

"I thank you for your Majesty!"

Although Ying Zheng was calm and kind at this moment, Li Jun was a little worried. He knew in his heart that this master was too domineering.

At this time, facing the First Emperor, he didn't know what the First Emperor intended.

Looking at Li Jun, who was restless and frightened, Ying Zheng said, "Jiuzi, nowadays, most of the various schools of thought submit to our Qin court. I wonder what the novelists think?"

"Report to Your Majesty, my novelist has always surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, and I have always been your Majesty's minister!"

Li Jun knew in his heart that he was too weak after all, and whether it was Confucianism or Qin Mo and other worldly scholars, he bowed his head.

If he objected at this moment, he would be killed by Ying Zheng the next moment.

So, at the first moment, he bowed his head obediently and was extremely respectful.

"I am very happy that I can think so. In my life, I have killed countless people. I have died enough people, and I don't want to kill anyone."

Speaking of this, Ying Zheng looked at Li Jun deeply and said, "From today on, novelists will join Qin. I plan to establish a news agency. Novelists will join the news agency, and you will be responsible for it."

"Your Majesty, I don't know what the News Agency is?" Li Jun was silent for a while, bowed to Ying Zheng, and said.
