Chapter 23 Exploration, Decryption!
Liu Zongmin is a full 1.8 meters tall. Judging from his strong tendons, his weight is estimated to be 180. Could such a person be a famous cavalry general under Li Hongji? Aren't you afraid of crushing the horse to death?
Yun Zhao himself didn’t know what was going on in his mind. In short, it was a complete mess.
Ironmaking is a very boring thing, and it is boring to do it over and over again.
The steel that was smelted was obviously like rotten bread, but Uncle Fu and Yun Yang were very happy.
Yun Zhao tapped it lightly with a small hammer, and the steel strips peeled off. The skin fell off, and the inside was not pure iron. There were holes everywhere, just like a hornet's nest.
Every fool knows that this thing cannot forge steel knives!
Liu Zongmin wiped his sweat with a yellowed rag and said: "Two more times, half of it will be lost, and only pure iron will be left."
Yun Zhao looked at Liu Zongmin and said : "The book says that you need to use coke, and pure iron cannot make a steel knife."
Liu Zongmin laughed and said: "You are still a knowledgeable person. Is my young husband a scholar? No wonder people often say that scholars don't go out. He knows everything about the world."
Liu Zongmin speaks very nicely, at least it makes Yun Zhao feel comfortable.
However, this guy still refuses to talk about his working methods. He seems to be a cautious person.
Yun Zhao didn’t study or work all morning. He just stayed in this simple blacksmith shop and watched Liu Zongmin smelting iron.
He was right. After the iron sand collected by the teenagers went into the furnace and was blown by the fire, not much was left. However, people like Yun Yang were still very excited and kept adding it. Iron sand was delivered, and everyone was exhausted.
This is also true. If the temperature of the furnace drops down, Liu Zongmin will not smelt iron.
Refining strip steel is not unusual for Yun Zhao, and is even a bit despising, because he participated in the closure of polluting enterprises a long time ago. A company with an annual output of 100,000 tons can just stop it. It was stopped because of serious pollution and low production capacity!
Now, Yun Zhao really hopes that the company will be revived in the Ming Dynasty...
Uncle Fu didn't go anywhere all morning, just squatting on the big willow tree stump to watch Liu Zongmin smelting iron. With a warm smile on his face, he seemed to appreciate Liu Zongmin's works very much.
Yun Zhao was very disappointed... Uncle Fu didn't suddenly cut off Liu Zongmin's head with a knife, and Liu Zongmin didn't turn into a god and demon and grab Uncle Fu to death. They even felt a bit sympathetic to each other.
Until the sun turned west, Yun Zhao didn't see what he really wanted to see. When he saw Chunchun waving in the distance, he stood up from the bench and went home to eat.
People in the Ming Dynasty were always very self-sufficient. They would eat four meals when they were busy, and only two meals when the farming season was over...
That’s right when you think about it, people who grew up in Hemiao These days are also the most difficult days for farmers, as a recession is just around the corner.
The tall servant’s brainThe door hit the low lintel of the kitchen. He didn't even do such boring things as shouting in pain. He grabbed the rice bowl more firmly with his hand.
The short and fat servant was sitting on the threshold, holding a large bowl of thick porridge in his hand. He looked at the cook's fat butt and forgot to eat.
Grandma Qin...
Forget it, Yun Zhao was ready to give up looking for martial arts guys in his own family. He discovered that if the real masters who can kill people invisible are what these people look like , that’s too cheap.
The big white goose pounced over, and Yun Zhao gave the big white goose a kick in the chest. The big white goose that finally realized that Yun Zhao was the master and was about to come over to get close to him was kicked away.
"In three days, you should go to school."
Yun Niang didn't see her son all morning and felt that he was not doing his job properly.
"Farming is busy..."
Yun Zhao said three words and saw his mother's sharp eyes, so he stopped saying the following words. He believed that as long as he dared to say it, his mother would There were ten thousand vicious words waiting for him.
The sour soup noodles are as delicious as ever.
"What kind of person is grandpa?"
Yun Zhao couldn't help but ask after taking a bite of noodles.
Yun Niang touched the back of her son's head with pity and said, "Poor, your father should have told you these things. Mom is too soft-tempered to talk about your grandfather's great achievements."
"Then let Uncle Fu talk about it."
"Uncle Fu never talks about the past, not even to anyone who asks. He only says that a good life is when he can eat every day.
p>It’s okay if you don’t tell me, my son will study hard and get the top prize in the future!”
“You all say that the world is going to be in chaos, who will I take the top prize for?”
"When the world is in chaos, there will always be a time when it will not be in chaos. By then, my son will have grown up, studied well, and the world will be peaceful, just in time to take the first prize."
"If the Tatars I’ll take the first prize among the Tatars even if I’m in the country?”
Yunniang smiled, touched Yun Zhao’s head and said, “The Tatars can’t even read, so how can they be in the country?” "Young master, it's possible to come to the Central Plains to grab some things and go back. After all, the matter of taking over the throne belongs to me, the son of the Han family."
Yun Zhao nodded repeatedly, although in his understanding, it was the Tatars who took over. He still felt that what his mother said was very reasonable. It should be the son of the Han family who held the throne.
"What should I do if I become a king in the future?"
"What should I do? If my son becomes a king, my mother will be the empress dowager! I wonder whose handsome daughter is lucky enough to be the queen? ?
Mom, I will choose one for my son carefully.”
After saying that, the mother and son looked at each other, laughed, and finally rolled into a ball. The mother suppressed him and beat her violently, and then she got over the impact of the joke and started eating properly again.
Due to a funny joke he made with his mother, Yun Zhao was not sleepy at all in the afternoon. He just wanted to go out and play. As for studying, no oneIf forced, he would definitely not want to.
In the small ditch in spring, there are some small fish that are almost transparent. These small fish swim very fast, and you can only capture them according to their reflection in the water. This is a technical job.
Yunzhao fished for a long time before he caught one. Yunjuan, who was panning for iron sand by the stream, saw Yunzhao’s awkwardness in catching it, so he walked over and caught seven or eight small fish for Yunzhao. , put it in the alms bowl brought by Yun Zhao.
"This kind of fish cannot be kept alive. I have raised it before. I always wanted to raise it for my younger brother to eat. As a result, it died in two days at most."
Yun Zhao looked at it. Xiaoyu said: "I can't raise it myself, so I just want to throw it into the rain jar and have a look."
Yunjuan spread his hands and said: "You are the only one who has this idea. Let me tell you, Mi Zi It’s time to finish eating. We have to work to support ourselves.”
“Come with me on a trip to Yushan in a few days. I want to see the place where you found the magnet.”
Yunjuan straightened up and looked at the towering Yushan Mountain and said: "The mountain road there is not easy to walk, and all the Huangjing nearby has been dug up. Once I walked very far, and I met a leopard, which was very dangerous."< /p>
Yun Zhao said: "Let's go as a group!"
"Then we have to wait a few more days until we have a guy before we go."
Yun Zhao Nodding, the matter was settled.
You must always find something to do for yourself, otherwise Yun Zhao will not be able to sleep well just because of the weird atmosphere in Yun's mansion.
Although everyone seems to have good intentions towards him, the unknown itself is a great fear.
This is also a serious sequelae left behind when adults’ thoughts take over a child’s body.
Suspicious and fickle adults cannot be a good child!
Many times, adults’ sense of security comes from themselves, while children’s sense of security comes from their father or mother.
There is a big difference between the two.
While carrying the alms bowl home, Yun Zhao went to the blacksmith shop again. It must be said that Liu Zongmin was still a hardworking worker at this time.
I have been smelting iron from morning to night. In just a short time, there is already a lot of pig iron piled on the ground.
"They have to wait until night to start making steel."
When Uncle Fu took Yun Zhao home, he looked back at Liu Zongmin and said to Yun Zhao.
"Isn't he going to be a robber? Why are he worried about others knowing his secret recipe?"
"Being a robber does not prevent him from keeping his cooking skills secret."
"Oh, that means this guy still has no ambitions!"
"How to say?"
"Sir, the lion will fight the rabbit with all his strength, Only in this way can he gain something. He is half-hearted and unwilling to be a blacksmith and a bandit, so he has no future."
"Well, the young master is right. You must study hard in the future. Like Liu Zongmin, he ended up being a useless person who couldn’t support anything.”
“Are you not going to kill him?
Yun Fu smiled and said: "That's nonsense. How can you kill people casually?" "
When Yun Fu said this, his body was very relaxed, there was no tension, and there was no other body language. It seemed that he had really given up on killing Liu Zongmin.
Also , if Liu Zongmin dies now, how will he torture those wealthy nobles in Beijing who are unwilling to pay to help Emperor Chongzhen fight the war?
Feeling that history is once again on the right path, Yun said. Zhao was a little disappointed, but also a little happy.
So he walked around the Yun family compound and tried hard to find the location of the arsenal. Unfortunately, as the eldest son of the Yun family, there was no forbidden area for him in this family. This was what disappointed Yun Zhao.
Because he visited all the rooms in Yun's compound, even the toilets, and there was still no trace of Yun's arsenal. The treasury is the mother's bedroom. This room is connected to Yun Zhao's room. You can go in by raising the curtain.
There is a bed in the mother's room with seven or eight large boxes and bunks on the bed. There are gray and green coarse cloth sheets, and a pillow so high that it can break a person's neck. Inside the bed is my mother's bedding, which is also made of coarse cloth and has no beauty.
Two chairs are sandwiched between it. A round table stood alone in the middle of the room, with only a celadon teapot and a celadon cup on it, both of which were somewhat old. A newer teacup was placed on the shelf, as if it had not been used for a long time.
The silver ingot that I looked at once was taken out of the first box on the left. Therefore, Yun Zhao didn't open the box to look at it. Yun Zhao was very sure that the weapons couldn't be placed here.
