Chapter 439 The Prince Is Here
Chapter 439 Cheng Chusi pulled Qin Huaidao's roasted sweet potatoes in the fire. Qin Huaidao buried several of them, all of them were small.
"Well, but it's OK, but there are still too many impurities. If you want to use it, you can use it. But in this case, it will take longer for craftsmen to make weapons and equipment, so it will take a few days for us to adjust it!" Qin Huaidao said to Cheng Chusi, then took the sweet potato handed to Chen Chuchu and started eating it.
"I look good, but I know that you definitely hope to get the best one. Now a kiln takes 4 days to get it done. In this case, the average day is 40,000 kilograms, which is much more than what you said at the beginning!" Cheng Chusi looked at Qin Huaidao and said.
"Well, the average of three pig iron kilns is about 150,000 kilograms per day. However, that steel kiln is used to make steel. Steel is better than iron and has more uses. Moreover, the steel kiln needs to be built for a longer time. I guess it is not bad for construction in half a month!" Qin Huaidao sat there, nodded and said.
"What exactly does that steel kiln do?" Cheng Chusi asked as he looked at Qin Huaidao.
"You will know that it is very useful!" Qin Huaidao said with a smile. Qin Huaidao was planning to make wires in the steel kiln, which is to make steel bars, mainly for construction.
"Well, it's enough to listen to you anyway, but at most half a month, we may need to go back to Beijing." Cheng Chusi said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.
"Why is it not that New Year's Day so soon!" Qin Huaidao looked at Cheng Chusi in confusion and said, "If you want to take leave, Cheng Chusi would not talk to him here."
But he said to us, that means that other soldiers of the generals must also go back.
"Wei De is back, hehe, we need to welcome him. We have been there for four years. I miss you very much! This time, it will be fun! I have to win all his clothes, and I have to win all the concubines he brought from Tanzhou!" Cheng Chusi said happily.
"For virtue? Who?" Qin Huaidao had no idea who it was.
"King of Wu Li Ke, that's the most fun prince!" Cheng Chusi stared at Qin Huaidao and said.
"He is coming back? Why are he coming back?" Qin Huaidao's heart skipped a beat and he immediately stared at Cheng Chusi and said.
"I heard that I was coming back to see Concubine Yang. I guess I won't be able to go back after the New Year!" Cheng Chusi said without caring.
"Yeah!" Qin Huaidao heard it and nodded, feeling something was always wrong in his heart.
"This time, we have agreed to book a pleasure boat, ask him to play for a week, and then bet in it for a week, and win all their money. Hehe, he can't escape this time, so he thought that he wanted to lend us money to return to the fief." Cheng Chusi was very happy, and they were happy when he thought that Li Ke was back.
Qin Huaidao looked at Li Ke and asked: "You guys have a good time?"
"Okay, it's quite good. It's all right with our military brothers. Unlike other princes, the other princes have airs, but he doesn't. He comes to everything.
When he was about to go to the fiefdom, we booked a pleasure boat and asked him to play in it for a week. When we left, we only had the clothes left and we won all the other money. In the end, we borrowed him 10 stagnant of money alone and asked him to go to the fiefdom. By the way, the money has not been paid yet. This time we have to pay it back. Not to mention this matter, we have forgotten it." Cheng Chusi immediately smiled and said,
Qin Huaidao was very happy when he saw his expression. It seemed that Cheng Chusi and King Li Ke of Wu had a very unusual relationship, but Qin Huaidao was worried, what should the King of Wu come back at this time?
Why did Li Shimin transfer him back? He finally got a Li Zhi away, and now he got another Li Ke. This Li Ke actually played so well with the children of the military generals. If he stayed in the capital, it would not be good news for Li Chengqian. These years have been a critical time.
"Boping, what are you thinking? I just wanted you to go with us, okay?" Cheng Chusi and Qin Huaidao talked to Qin Huaidao. Qin Huaidao did not hear it, so Cheng Chusi pushed Qin Huaidao, and Qin Huaidao turned his head to look at him.
"I won't go, right? In half a month, the matter here may not be completed, you can go." Qin Huaidao said with a smile.
"It's okay, it's only one day. Then we welcome him and come back after we finish it. We will invite him to the pleasure boat after we finish it." Cheng Chusi said to Qin Huaidao.
"Look at it, see what's going on here." Qin Huaidao said to Cheng Chusi with a smile.
"Sure, you will definitely like him anyway. This kid is fun and has the ability!" Cheng Chusi said to Qin Huaidao, and Qin Huaidao nodded with a smile.
Of course he knew that the King of Wu was capable, and that he was almost the crown prince in history. If Changsun Wuji had not opposed it, Li Zhi's position as the crown prince might not have been in his hands.
In addition, Li Shimin had a very high opinion of Li Ke, saying that Li Ke looked the most like him. After Cheng Chusi left, Qin Huaidao sat next to the fire thinking about this.
"Master, do you want to soak your feet to warm up?" Chunmei walked to Qin Huaidao and asked.
"Well, okay, soak one!" Qin Huaidao nodded with a smile, and then Chunmei began to fetch water for Qin Huaidao and soak Qin Huaidao's feet. Qin Huaidao sat there thinking about something,
After washing, Chunmei wiped Qin Huaidao's feet clean and put on shoes on Qin Huaidao. Qin Huaidao was still thinking about things, and Chunmei didn't dare to disturb him.
After a while, Chunmei saw Qin Huaidao still thinking, but it was getting late.
"Master, it's getting late, it's time to rest!" Chunmei reminded Qin Huaidao and said.
"Oh, okay, go to bed, go to bed!" Qin Huaidao heard this, nodded, stood up from the chair, and walked to the bed next to him. Chunmei also rushed over and took off Qin Huaidao's clothes.
The next morning, after Qin Huaidao finished practicing martial arts, he returned to the tent and began to calculate the data. Last night, Qin Huaidao thought about Li Ke for a long time, and now he doesn’t know what Li Shimin meant when Li Ke came back. He was just going to come back to see Yang Fei or to stay in the capital in the future.
However, Qin Huaidao felt that Li Ke would definitely stay in the capital forever, and Qin Huaidao had this premonition.
In the next few days, Qin Huaidao kept adjusting the data and burning two kilns, which were very good.
"Master, Master, Your Highness, the Crown Prince is here!" Qin Daniu found Qin Huaidao and said to Qin Huaidao.
"Hao you come down from the Prince?" Qin Huaidao said in surprise when he heard this. There was no news before, why did he suddenly come?
Qin Huaidao quickly walked outside the camp and saw the prince coming here under the escort of a large number of cavalry. Qin Huaidao Cheng Chusi and others also came over and prepared to welcome the prince.
At this moment, Zhang Qiaozhang happened to be here. He was going to visit the people who worked here. This year, the people of Fengnian County can have a good New Year. Almost every household has people working here.
Moreover, the eggs and pork from every household were bought by the soldiers here, which made the people's families have extra money. Zhang Qiaozhang was happy. Moreover, the weather is not raining or snowing, and the fields are already deserted. He is still thinking about what to do next year. Now that he has this pig iron workshop, he is very relieved!
"I have met Duke Hu!" Zhang Qiaozhang came to Qin Huaidao and bowed and said.
"Well, you are here too. Okay, welcome the crown prince together!" Qin Huaidao nodded with a smile.
Through this period of contact, Qin Huaidao was very satisfied with Zhang Qiaozhang and thought that when the matter here was finished, Qin Huaidao could see if he could talk to His Royal Highness that such a person could be promoted.
"Yes!" Zhang Qiaozhang nodded and said,
Soon, His Royal Highness's carriage arrived in the barracks. His Royal Highness was wearing a snow-white fox fur cloak, and a sword praising around his waist. He got off the carriage very gracefully.
"I've seen Your Highness!" Qin Huai said that when they saw Li Chengqian get off the carriage, they immediately bowed and said.
"Thank you all for your hard work, Gu came here to visit you today!" Li Chengqian smiled and helped them, then walked over.
"Boping, and you guys, it's really hard. I've been here for more than a month. A few days ago, Boping wrote a letter saying that pig iron has come out, and the average day is 50,000 kilograms, but Boping still hopes to be better!" Li Chengqian looked at them with a smile.
"Yes, but Your Highness, Bo Ping said that ordinary pig iron is better than the pig iron from the previous pig iron workshop!" Cheng Chusi said to them with a smile.
"Yes, and the output is still high. One furnace comes out and it will be 200,000 kilograms!" Li Dejian also said from the side.
"Oh, Boping, you are not as humble as you are. My father saw you send me to the cast iron. The craftsmen on the workshop said that this cast iron is better than the previous workshop. My father said that you must have too high requirements for yourself." Li Chengqian looked at Qin Huaidao with a smile.
"Yes, since you want to do it, you have to do it well. Although this pig iron is good, there are still a lot of impurities. If some impurities can be reduced here, then when craftsmen make iron tools, they will need to reduce their time and energy to beat them. So since it can be improved here, it needs to be improved!" Qin Huaidao said to Li Chengqian with a smile.
"Well, it seems that my father and Gu have guessed it right. Let's go, Boping, and you guys, take Gu to have a look. By the way, I'll bring a lot of food and dishes later.
By the way, there are cucumbers, Boping, there are cucumbers in your house, ah? There are green vegetables, do you know? How many people want to ask for your green vegetables now!" Li Chengqian thought of this and said in surprise to Qin Huaidao.
"Ah, can you eat it?" Qin Huaidao also looked at Li Chengqian happily and asked.
"Okay, when Xian'er heard that Gu was coming this time, she sent someone to pack about 100 kilograms of vegetables, saying that you must like to eat it! During this period, Xian'er has been sending it to the palace and the East Palace, and his father and Gu have eaten a lot!" Li Chengqian said to Qin Huaidao with a smile.
"What you plant is for food!" Qin Huaidao also waved his hand with a smile.
