Datang: An eight-year-old master of the bar, he gave everyone a blow at the beginning

Chapter 588 Yu Chihuan Orders General Supervisor to Increase Steel Production
Yu Chihuan bid farewell to Cheng Yaojin and returned to Zhongshu Province to be on duty.

Since Changsun Shunde was still angry with Yuchihuan, he went home after receiving the corn today!

Yuchi Huan was in charge of Zhongshu Province, so there was no chaos.

For the sake of eldest son Shunde, Yuchihuan did not have the same experience as eldest son Shunde.

Otherwise, just the charge of leaving one's post without permission would be enough for Changsun Shunde.

In the end, the workload of Changsun Shunde was also handed over to Yu Chihuan to represent him.

In the morning, Changsun Shunde's sick leave was also sent to Ganlu Hall.

As for Li Erbai's disapproval, Changsun Shunde no longer cared.

Because Changsun Shunde knew that Li Er would not dismiss him from office and reduce his rank!

Otherwise, Queen Changsun would definitely not let Li Er go.

The father of Empress Changsun and Changsun Wuji died young, so they lived with Changsun Shunde since childhood.

In the mind of Empress Changsun, Changsun Shunde is equivalent to her father.

Li Er didn't look at the monk's face but also at the Buddha's face!
Yuchihuan understood that Changsun Shunde, an old guy who was cheating and cheating, would definitely not be demoted by Li Er.

So he didn't bother to impeach Changsun Shunde for no law!
After finishing the memorial in hand, Yu Chihuan went to monitor the workshop.

Of course, Yu Chihuan must stop by to visit his apprentice Wu Meiniang.

……

The Ministry of Industry will be the supervisor!

In the morning, Yan Liben, a master craftsman, was studying the work of cultivating penicillin from cornstarch!
Suddenly, a yamen servant notified Yan Liben and Wei Chihuan to come to inspect and put him in prison.

Yan Liben turned pale with shock, he immediately put down his work and ran to meet Yuchihuan.

When Yan Liben ran out of the general prison, he immediately saw Yuchihuan standing at the door talking and laughing happily with Yan Lide, Minister of the Ministry of Industry!

The reason why Yan Lide, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was by Yuchihuan's side was purely because Yuchihuan was too ostentatious when he passed the Ministry of Industry.

When Yan Lide learned that Yuchi Huan was coming for surveillance, he immediately asked Ying to accompany him.

Yan Lide did this purely to help his younger brother Yan Liben speak well.

When Yan Lide saw Yan Liben finally showing up, he immediately shut up and said nothing!

"I'll see you, Young Chancellor Yuchi!"

When Yan Liben came in front of Yuchihuan, he immediately bowed his hands respectfully and saluted!
Yu Chihuan waved his hand and said, "Yan Liben, I'm here as a supervisor today to see how the penicillin workshop is producing, you lead the way!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

The master craftsman Yan Liben immediately invited Yuchihuan to inspect it.

Yu Chihuan nodded and followed Yan Liben into the general prison!
When Yan Lide saw Yu Chihuan start inspecting the general prisoner, he also pretended to be by his side.

There are many workshops that will serve as supervisors.

Among them, iron-making workshops are the most.

The second is the weapon workshop!
The horseshoe workshop invented by Yuchihuan is also here!
Yan Liben first took Yuchi Huan to visit the crucible and furnace of the ironmaking workshop!

The iron-making workshop that will be the supervisor has been replaced with a large crucible after Yuchihuan's technical improvement.

The ground fire is also equipped with a blower, which has higher firepower and temperature, and doubles the iron-making efficiency!
Yuchi Huan personally watched the process of iron ore turning into molten iron and then forming steel ingots...

The most important thing is that these steels have been subjected to high temperature to drive out impurities, and their quality is comparable to that of hundred-smelting steel!
The iron and iron from Persia is nothing more than that!

This is technological progress!
"Yan Liben, how much steel can be smelted in the iron-making workshop that will be the supervisor now?"

Yuchi Huan asked Yan Liben curiously.

Yan Liben thought for a while, and replied: "Young Prime Minister Yuchi, currently he will be the supervisor of the iron smelting workshop, which can produce [-] shi of steel per day!"

Yuchi Huan said: "Yan Liben, so the general supervisor can produce more than [-] shi of steel every year!"

Yan Liben nodded in agreement and said, "Prime Minister Yuchi is right, we will be able to produce a maximum of [-] shi of steel per year as the supervisor!"

Yan Lide said with a smile on his face: "Little Prime Minister Yuchi, in the first year of Zhenguan, the output of steel in the entire Tang Dynasty was not as good as that of a single iron workshop here!"

"Yan Lide, although the steel output of Jiang Zuo has doubled compared to before, it is still not enough!"

Yu Chihuan said solemnly: "In the future, the steel output of the supervisor must reach more than [-] shi per day!"

Yan Liben was dumbfounded and said: "Prime Minister Yuchi, in this way, don't we still need to expand the iron-making workshop?"

"One thousand stones of steel per day, wouldn't it be 36 stones of steel per year?"

Yan Lide, Minister of Industry, was startled by Yu Chihuan's words.

"Yan Liben, Yan Lide, you two are making such a fuss!"

Yuchihuan smiled and said!
Yan Lide sighed and said: "Young Prime Minister Yuchi, one thousand stones of steel requires at least three thousand stones of iron ore to smelt it. Do we have so much iron ore there?"

Yan Liben echoed: "Young Prime Minister Yuchi, currently the entire Guanzhong can only provide one thousand stones of iron ore every day, and these iron ores are shipped from Jingtieshan and Hedong Road via merchant ships!"

Datang iron ore has low iron content, so only three stones of iron ore can smelt one stone of steel!
What Yan Lide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry said, is also in line with common sense!

However, Yu Chihuan knew that the iron ore in Oceania in later generations had high iron content, and one stone of steel needed at most two stones of iron ore!

And this time the Cheng family fleet has set off for Oceania!

If there is no accident, it will be able to carry more than one million stones of iron ore back to Datang in June this year.

These iron ores can smelt at least 50 shi of steel!
Thinking of this, Yuchi Huan said confidently: "Yan Lide, don't worry about the source of the iron ore. The Cheng family fleet will give you a satisfactory answer when the time comes. Haha!"

Yan Lide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, suddenly realized: "Young Prime Minister Yuchi, it turns out that the reason you expanded the general manager's iron smelting workshop is to smelt the iron ore brought back by the Cheng family's fleet!"

"If the Cheng family fleet really mines enough iron ore from Oceania, we will be willing to expand the iron smelting workshop!"

The master craftsman Yan Liben no longer has any worries!
Now Datang has money and technology, so increasing steel production is just stuck on iron ore.

If the Cheng family's fleet can bring back enough iron ore from Oceania, Yan Liben is confident that he will increase the production of iron and steel for the supervisor by more than five times!
"Yan Liben, you need to expand the production capacity of the iron-making workshop before the end of this year!"

Yu Chihuan immediately set a timetable for Yan Liben.

Yan Liben clasped his hands and said: "Young Prime Minister Yuchi, I promise to increase the number of crucibles in the ironmaking workshop by more than five times before June!"

Yu Chihuan patted Yan Liben on the shoulder and said, "Yan Liben, then I will wait for your good news in June!"

The Cheng family fleet set off for Oceania at the end of March, and they will definitely return in triumph in June.

It would be great if Jiang Zuojian completes the expansion of the oil refinery in June!
Yu Chihuan then left the iron-making workshop and visited the penicillin workshop.

Yan Lide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, had no choice but to accompany him.

Wu Meiniang is currently training apprentices in the penicillin workshop. When she heard that Yuchihuan came to inspect, she ran out alive and well to welcome Yuchihuan and his party!
