On a hot afternoon, the Lingyin Huang Xie, who had handled the official duties, returned to the small town of Fengyi very early. The hotter the weather, the drier the fields; the drier the fields, the more proud the people of Zhaoshu were. Now the Jade Mansion is all in the Grand Mansion. The water trucks produced by the Huafu can relieve the thirst of millions of fields, and the prince is in the limelight. According to this momentum, with the huge iron, pearl mirror, paper, porcelain, salt, sailboat..., these things are really coming out, and I am afraid that I can't see the crown prince getting crowned in the position of Lingyin.

‘Born to know it’. I used to think this was an exaggeration from Zhen Yin Zimo. Now no matter how unacceptable the people will admit in their hearts: there are indeed people born to know it, Prince Jing is one of them.

Pearl mirrors and other objects enrich our Chu State, while giant iron and other objects strengthen our Chu State. Sailing boats - this may be the most inconspicuous of the things created by the prince. The shipyard boats under the Purple Gold Mountain have never been built, but in terms of Huang Xie, this is the most amazing thing. You can transport grain thousands of miles away. With such a sailboat, Chu State can communicate with other continents. What is the world? Chu State owns the world.

Unfortunately, I was standing opposite the prince. The nectar was refreshing and I couldn't get drunk for a thousand cups. Huang Jie felt more and more worried as he drank. At this time, Zhu Guan came. Not only Zhu Guan came, but Li Yuan also came.

"How about the smelting of the giant iron?" Huang Xie was confused and his arm was weak, so he put down his fingers again.

"Master, the huge iron that I have refined today is not done." Huang Xie knew about the meaning of the converter. How can one or two be compared with one pot of 2,400 kilograms? Therefore, Huang Xie was also quite concerned about the trial of the founding house today.

"Oh. Why not?" Huang Xie put down Jiu Jue, "Is it not going well?"

"It is reported that the refining is quite smooth, but why can't it be a villain be a villain?" Zhu Guan smiled. His studs naturally did not know about smelting iron and steel. This was just the result of sending people to inquire. "The lord, there is a policy that can be eliminated... the eldest son."

Zhu Guan could roughly guess the deal between Huang Xie and King of Chu. In his opinion, this could only protect wealth for more than ten years. Only when Xiong Han became the king could the lord protect his life's safety, but now the opportunity has come.

"Can you get rid of the eldest son?" Huang Xie's eyes stopped wandering. He glared at Zhu Guan and finally stared at Li Yuan, "You still think that you are not causing much trouble?"

"The villain dared not." Li Yuan immediately lie down. He kept a dead soldier. Why didn't Huang Xie know that Huang Xie didn't know? Fortunately, things finally turned around, otherwise he would have been imprisoned and executed. "The villain has already regretted it and never dared to do a big rebellion again."

"Then today..." Li Yuan is Li Concubine Li's brother. Huang Xie's pain lies in knowing that Li Yuan committed a crime of great rebellion and had to protect him. He turned a blind eye to what he did. Otherwise, how should he argue that this matter was only done by Li Yuan, and he had no idea?

"The Lord," Zhu Guan immediately interrupted when he saw Huang Xie's misunderstanding. "It was not a major rebellious act, but a Qin State's pursuit of qualifying."

"Qin State seeks qualities?" Huang Xie was stunned and immediately understood. Since his ancestor Xiang, Chu State had the practice of condemning the qualities into Qin. Back then, wasn't it that he and the king were responsible for Qin? Because of this experience, he had the power and wealth of today. In a daze, Huang Xie couldn't help but think of the past more than 20 years ago, the qualities palace in Xianyang, and the Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju.

"... The lord, the eldest son of our country has been newly established, and Qin will be recruited, and the Qin envoy is already on the way." Zhu Guan endured for a while before speaking, "Once the eldest son of Jing enters Qin, he will not be able to return to the country in the future. In this way, the country must not be without a lord for a day, and the lord should make a fierce prince the king."

"That's right. The master is a precedent for entering Qin as a stamina, and Zhaoshu and others cannot stop him." Li Yuan, who was lying on the ground, also raised his head and spoke hard, "After entering Qin, the loyal ministers like the master, who are not a master beside Dazi Jing, are afraid that they will stay in Xianyang for the rest of their lives."

"You must not enter Qin." After a while of silence, Huang Xie finally said something.

"The lord, the eldest son does not enter Qin. With today's momentum, I am afraid that in a few years..." Zhu Guan was not easy to say something clearly, and everyone understood it if he didn't say it.

"Master, if the eldest son does not enter Qin, the Qin army will definitely attack me. The Chu army will be defeated. What's the matter?" Li Yuan raised his body, and Zhao Jing had already made a secret with him. If the Chu State did not send the crown prince to Qin as a magistrate, he would raise troops to attack Chu.

"The Qin army attacked me, and I will ask the four kingdoms of Han, Wei, Zhao and Yan to unite to resist Qin." Huang Xie's tone was unquestionable.

"Why is the Lord like this?" Li Yuan was very disappointed. "The eldest son will not return to Qin. The Lord will make the fierce prince the king, and wealth will be forever."

"Master!" Huang Xieli cursed, "The eldest son can be used as a strong crossbow, can make pearl mirrors, can refine large iron, and can build sailboats. These are all the blessings of our Chu State for all generations. If the eldest son is not a king, the Chu State will be destroyed in Qin in more than ten years. How rich and noble are we?! God favors our Chu State, so he surrenders the saint king, and God will not accept it, and he will suffer the consequences. The eldest son cannot enter Qin."

Li Yuan was scolded by Huang Xie and dared not say anything again. Fortunately, Zhu Guansu was valued by Huang Xie. When Huang Xie was angry, he said again: "The loyalty of the lord should be compared to the sun and the moon. However, Zhaoshu, Jinghua and others hated the lord to the core, and the eldest son would not go... Regardless of wealth and honor, they only talk about their lives. With the kindness of the King of Zhuang, they still divided the witch ministers' rooms. Do the king think that the eldest son Jing can compare with the King of Zhuang?"

One person is guilty, the whole family is implicated; the family is guilty, the other party is implicated; the Chu State has no co-subject, but it is implicated. During the reign of King Zhuang, the witch minister loved Xia Ji's beauty and eloped with him to the enemy state of Jin. He became the doctor of Jin. The Yin Zi was furious and killed the Wu Minister's family and divided the family. Zhu Guan only wanted to say that the Yin Yin had great power, which was so great that he could kill the clan and the family. Once the lord lost the position of the Yin Yin, there was no need for the eldest son to indicate that the Jing Party would naturally kill the entire clan.

"The Lord, please think twice." Huang Xie was angry after saying a few words, and Zhu Guan advised him again. "The strong crossbow, pearl mirror, huge iron, sailboat, except for the sailboat, all the rest are physical objects. Even if the eldest son enters Qin, the Chu State still has such a number, and the blessings of all generations will still be there."

"Isn't the giant iron unsuccessful?" Huang Xie murmured, and at this moment a heat suddenly appeared in his heart: If the eldest son really entered Qin as a qualifier and secretly refused to return, wouldn't the things he made besides his own achievements? Pearl mirrors can enrich the country, strong crossbows can strengthen the country, and sailboats can communicate with the whole world. Facing the Qin army, such a Chu State will definitely be invincible.

"Master, it's just that the big furnace has not been completed, and the small furnace has been completed." Zhu Guan roughly guessed Huang Xie's thoughts and specifically mentioned it.

After the ceasefire, the Zao Mansion was in a mess. Xiong Jing was in a daze for a long time.

When the molten steel was released, the molten steel suddenly burst and the furnace body trembled again. Fortunately, the converter was heavily reinforced, so it did not collapse. After the steel casting the steel ingots cooled, everyone finally saw the real thing: similar to the ink furnace steel, the steel ingots were silver-white in color. Unfortunately, this steel sledgehammer would break when it smashed. Xiong Jing ordered the craftsmen to heat the steel ingots and smash them again, and the steel ingots would break like it.

"Your Highness, it is reasonable that the converter has a huge iron of a hundred times that of an ink furnace." Gong Yindao did not understand his intentions, so he could only persuade him.

"How many iron ore are there in my State of Chu?" Xiong Jing ignored him and asked Ji Yin only.

It will break after cooling, and it will break. It will break after heating, and it will break after heating, and it will break after hot, and it will break after hot, and it will break. Without testing instruments, Xiong Jing can only judge the phosphorus and sulfur content of steel in this way. Besmai used low-phosphorus and low-sulfur pig iron imported from Sweden, so the steelmaking was successful. In China, according to Xiong Jing's incomplete and incorrect impression, the pig iron in the big iron ore only meets the standards of Besmai converter, but these two places are thousands of miles away and are not controlled by the State of Chu. Now he can only try his luck to see if the small iron ore in Chu can have low-phosphorus and low-sulfur iron ore.

"Your Highness, most of the iron in the world is in the Central Plains. There are only four iron mountains in our country. Ji Yin naturally knows the distribution of minerals in Chu. "One is Tongshan, two is Dongting Mountain, three is Baoshan, and four is Kuaiji Mountain in Yuedi."

"Only four places?" Xiong Jing was surprised. Because most of the Chu Kingdom were small iron ore, he did not study it in depth. Unexpectedly, there were only four places in the small iron ore. He knew about Ma'anshan, Xuzhou Liguo, Hainan Shilu, and Huoqiu.

"That's right." Ji Yin nodded, "Wandi Benduo Iron Mine, a pity..."

The State of Chu naturally not only had iron ore, but only the eastern land everywhere, but the State of Chu now only had the eastern land. Thinking of this, Xiong Jing said: "Map."

The map was delivered soon, and Xiong Jing said: "The iron ore in Dongting Mountain needs to be collected and tested, and there is also the Fanshan Mountain."

"Your Highness, these two places are being collected." Ji Yin replied, this is what he is already doing.

"Here," Xiong Jing nodded and pointed to the location of Ma'anshan in later generations. Because there is only Jinling City on the map, he can only point out the point. "There is a big iron mountain, and the reserves have been used for thousands of years. However, the ore is good and bad, and it is difficult to judge whether it is suitable for a converter."

The prince was born to know that Jiyin did not doubt that he was there, and he kept it in mind when he looked at the location of Ma'anshan. "I immediately sent someone to investigate."

"Serious." Xiong Jing pointed at Pengcheng again, "Here, the north of Pengcheng..."

Liguoze Iron Mine is as famous as Daye Iron Mine. At that time, Li Hongzhang suggested that Zhang Zhidong set up the iron plant in Liguoze. Later generations also said that with the iron quality of Liguoze, the Hanyang Iron Mine would not be built repeatedly. Liguo is the name of the post station, and later generations were on the bank of Weishan Lake. However, Weishan Lake was originally the product of the Yellow River's burrow and diverting the route. At this time, there were only swamps and no lakes in the north of Pengcheng.

"Fifty or sixty miles north of the north, there is an iron ore next to the road near the ze." Xiong Jing said it very generally. He didn't know if it was beneficial to the National Post Station now. "If there is no road, it is also on the side of the road where Pengcheng can go north."

"I will also send someone to investigate immediately." Fifty or sixty miles north of Pengcheng, the location was already very accurate, so Ji Yin thought it was difficult.

"Yan State..." The map was changed, it was Yan State. "Can there be iron ore in Xiangpingyi, Yan State?"

Xiangping was the only city of Yan State in Liaodong. This was Liaoyang in later generations, while Xiong Jing thought Xiangping was Shenyang in later generations.

"Your Highness, I have never heard of the iron in Xiangping." Ji Yin said. "The iron of Yan State is all near Yandu. Does Your Highness want to buy the iron of Yan State?"

"No. If the ore of our Chu State cannot be completed, it must be the iron of Xiangping; and then," the map changed, it was already the South China Sea. "The west end of this island has water entering the sea, and the water flows into the water for a hundred miles along the water. There are green mountains fifty miles along the water, and copper, iron, gold and silver in the mountains..."
