Doomsday simulator, I prove extraordinary with swordsmanship

In the afternoon, Liu Guangzheng led the crowd out of the city to see the construction of the blast furnace outside the city.

The imperial court has a Ministry of Industry, which is specialized in civil engineering work. Usually, people from the Ministry of Industry do the repairs of the palace and city walls. As long as a palace is maintained regularly, it will exist for hundreds or thousands of years without any problems.

It can be seen that there are many skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry.

Throughout the dynasties, the emperor has never wronged himself in terms of basic necessities of life.

And these craftsmen were asked to repair the blast furnace, even though Liu Guangzheng only provided a rough sketch, but the skilled craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry still only took more than a month to add a billion points of detail to the drawing, and formally Construction began, and by now, the blast furnace has been built more than half.

The blast furnace was built next to the Grand Canal outside the capital, but it wanted to use water power to drive the blower to increase the temperature of the furnace.

As for the blast furnace, two were built, one was used to desulfurize coal and dry-distill it into coke, so as to prevent iron from sulfide and reduce its strength, and the other was a melting furnace.

As for the traditional furnaces of this era, they can't reach the temperature of melting iron at all. It takes time and effort to smelt good iron, and the output is extremely low, but iron is the basis of industrialization.

According to Liu Guangzheng's estimate, if only this one big melting pot is built, the annual iron output may be comparable to 30% of the previous national output.

This is only the first one, which is a pilot project. When the iron is smelted and sold, more blast furnaces can be built to produce more iron.

As for the unemployment problem of the original blacksmiths, he wanted to industrialize, but there was a shortage of workers. The former blacksmiths could directly transform.

After watching the blast furnace, only Liu Guangzheng checked the gold bricks used to build the blast furnace.

The so-called gold bricks are naturally not real gold, but the sound of the bricks being knocked is crisp and clear, like gold and iron.

This brick is not only durable, but also because it is a clay brick, it is very refractory, with a melting point as high as 1700 degrees, and if you want to burn good iron, the temperature reaches 15000 degrees.

And this is the most refractory material that Liu Guangzheng has found so far.

As for the source of this material, it was the ready-made material he got directly from the floor tiles in several halls of the palace.

Just in Nanhuang, Zhao Chengjian's blast furnace is made of clay bricks fired in large quantities, but some refractory soil is mixed in it, so it barely meets the requirements.

The floor tiles of the imperial palace are not easy to fire, and they follow the high-quality line, so they also meet the requirements.

After all, these bricks are engraved with the name of the craftsman, the bricks are broken and people die, and even the three and nine clans are eliminated. Naturally, no one dares to be sloppy in this case.

Liu Guangzheng naturally knew that relying on lifting bricks from the imperial palace was not a long-term solution, so he had already sent people to study the firing method of refractory bricks.

Boom!

Liu Guangzheng tapped the gold bricks with his fingers, and the sound was crisp and clear. It was indeed a good brick, and no one would shoddy it.

However, he changed his mind and immediately ordered to go to the south of the construction site.

As soon as this remark came out, the team immediately headed southward in a mighty manner, but at the end of the team, someone ordered his subordinates to hurry up and prepare.

Because the bricks pried out from the palace are all good bricks, the kind that have a price but no market. As for the marks on the bricks, it is enough for people to wear them off.

As for the things that come out of the palace, some wealthy businessmen are very superstitious about this, thinking that there is dragon energy on them, and the floor tiles believe that the earth is rich in virtue and contains the virtues of the earth.

It's just that in the past, no one had the ability to pry bricks from the palace.

This time Liu Guangzheng took the initiative to let go of his mouth, naturally giving opportunities to those who are interested.

This is also mainly due to the fact that the power of the imperial court is not as good as before. Even if it is something that the emperor values ​​very much, there are still people who dare to pass it off as good.

Now, in fact, most of the bricks have been sold and replaced with inferior gold bricks.

As far as the firing of gold bricks is concerned, one of the four bricks is usually selected, that is, the best one is selected from the four bricks, and the rest are directly destroyed.

It's just that in the last years of the dynasty, those defective products are generally not destroyed, only the marks are worn off, and then flow into the market.

Regarding this matter, everyone in the court, except the emperor, knew about it, but the money from the lower levels was sufficient, so they all turned a blind eye to it.

Facing Liu Guangzheng's inspection, these officials also made several preparations.

There is a batch of bricks, but they are already on standby in the car. Wherever the emperor goes, this batch of bricks will be sent there, and piled up on the outermost layers of those defective products.

However, the time for the emperor to travel is limited, and it is impossible to really uncover the bricks piled up layer by layer for inspection.

Therefore, a group of officials did not panic at all.

It's just that halfway through the road, Liu Guangzheng suddenly ordered to stop, and then directly ordered to go to the west of the construction site.

As soon as this remark came out, everything was completely silent. Many people broke out in a cold sweat, but they never expected that such a thing would happen.

After that, the last few people didn't panic at all, as if this was the case.

About an hour later, a group of people came to the west of the construction site. There was a large pile of gold bricks, neatly piled up, shining brightly.

It turned out that the person who ordered his subordinates had already expected that Liu Guangzheng would play tricks, so at the beginning, he asked his subordinates to prepare for the west.

Only Liu Guangzheng heaved a long sigh. He has supernatural powers and can sense emotions. He could clearly detect the emotional changes of some officials when he said he was going to the south.

Obviously, there is something tricky about it.

Inexplicably, most of the joy of seeing the blast furnace built disappeared immediately.

Indeed, he had the heart to save the world, but helplessly, the people under his command tried their best to hold back, and they were complacent because they had deceived him, the emperor.

Don't those people know that today's thief Zhao has only one word for the powerful and wealthy, kill? !

If that day really comes, they will never end well.

They all know it, and they also know that there will be no eggs under the overturned nest, but they always feel that they are just a little bit greedy, and the imperial family's great fortune is not far behind, so it must be fine.

It's not terrible for one person to think so, but the terrible thing is that everyone thinks so.

Liu Guangzheng couldn't help being a little frustrated. Although he became the emperor as soon as he crossed, there were too many pitfalls in the beginning.

"Come here, uncover this golden brick layer by layer!"

On Luanjia, Liu Guangzheng waved his hand, and slowly closed his eyes. Following this order, an old official at the end of the team suddenly covered his heart, and then fell directly to the ground, and was directly crushed. Scared to death.

Immediately, there was a panic in the field.

...

Two hours later, an imperial decree came out of the imperial palace. On the second day, more than a hundred officials, big and small, were beheaded.
