My Daming New Empire

However, if more than 13.00% manganese is added to make high manganese steel, it becomes both hard and tough.

The hammers and anvils used by today's blacksmiths are basically high manganese steel, but people in this era don't know manganese, so they don't know what this mineral is.

When tungsten steel is temporarily unavailable, manganese steel can only be used to make forging hammers and molds.

When passing through Qingliangmen, this place has been one of the most changed places in Yingtianfu in the past few months.

The establishment of the Jiajiang Industrial Zone immediately turned the area of ​​Jiajiang into the busiest area in Yingtianfu. The grain shop processed wheat and rice there, the gold shop and silver shop processed jade there, and now the Neiku is also surrounded there. A large piece of land is planned to rely on the water power of the Yangtze River to build the largest weaving factory in the country.

Since the land there is monopolized by the imperial court, private purchase and transfer are not allowed, so the merchants who rely on the Jiajiang Industrial Zone to survive basically gather in the Stone City area to discuss business.

Zhu Zhanji, who was riding on a horse, was still thinking about how to improve the underwater forging machine, when he suddenly heard a soft voice with aggrieved tone: "Your Highness, someone bullied me..."

This voice was not pure Yingtianfu official dialect, but with a little Xichuan accent, and Zhu Zhanji immediately recognized that it was Lanyan.

He turned his head and looked, only to see Lan Yan standing at the window on the second floor of a restaurant next to him with his hands aside the gauze hat, a small face full of grievances.

Before Zhu Zhanji could speak, the guards of Qingjie quickly dispatched a team to surround the entire restaurant.

At the beginning, two Jinyiwei who were in charge of guarding the main road also went to the restaurant. As soon as they heard that the woman knew the grandson, they immediately shouted: "No one is allowed to act rashly, and I await Your Highness's forgiveness!"

The noise in the restaurant immediately dissipated, and everyone's eyes were fixed on a young man in his early twenties.And the young man who was showing a smug smile at the beginning was dumbfounded at this moment, and trembled with fright.

Zhu Zhanji laughed, raised his hand and said, "Naughty, you're going to get married in a few months, and you dare to run around. Be careful that the maid and aunt will hit you."

Seeing that Zhu Zhanji diverted the conversation, she became more and more aggrieved, and said, "Someone bullied me."

Zhu Zhanji said with a straight face, "Speak carefully. If you are bullying or not, come down quickly, and I will take you to a fun place."

In this day and age, a woman's reputation is extremely important. This silly girl opened her mouth and shut up and was bullied. Fortunately, she was under the watchful eyes of the public. If it wasn't for public places, gossip alone would have ruined her.

Li Liang quickly ran upstairs, and respectfully said to Lan Yan: "Miss Lan, the grandson will make decisions for you, this is not the place for you to stay, leave with the younger one first."

Lan Yan groaned, looked around, and realized something was wrong.Although she has little social experience, she is not really stupid after all.She is a great-grandson Liang Di, and now she brings maids and guards to appear in the restaurant, and spread the word, so that others will think of her as Liang Di!

At this moment, she couldn't stop regretting, and just because she was made things difficult by the other party, she became angry for a moment and called out to be grandson.

But the matter has come to this point, she can only quickly let the girl Wutong pack up her things, turn around and leave.

And at this time, the young man realized it, and immediately knelt down and shouted. "My lord, Xiaomin was wronged. I never bullied... this girl."

Facing outsiders, Li Liang didn't have a good face. While waiting for Lan Yan to go downstairs, he turned around and said with a sneer: "You should discuss this with the Jin Yiwei, Yang Qianhu, I will leave this matter to you .”

Lan Yan was aggrieved, and went downstairs in a panic, and timidly came to Zhu Zhanji's horse.

For this confused little girl, Zhu Zhanji knew not to frighten her, she would be foolish if she frightened her, and she couldn't indulge her.

For her, the first thing is to let her know the rules, what can be done, what can't be done, and then she will be sensible.

So, he deliberately said with a straight face: "I really don't understand the rules, can you come to this kind of occasion?"

Lan Yan clutched the front of his clothes and dared not speak, but only dared to look at him with the eyes of a kitten begging for mercy, begging for forgiveness and comfort.

There were so many people watching around, Zhu Zhanji stopped scolding her, and leaned over to hold her arm.Before she could react, he put his arms around her armpits, and with a cry of surprise, he captivated her onto the horse.

"set off!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Since the prevalence of proxy religion in the Song Dynasty, the oppression of women in the Yuan Dynasty was even worse. In the early Ming Dynasty, only married women could show their faces.

Unmarried girls who are over ten years old are mostly raised in deep boudoirs, and they are not even allowed to leave the house in normal times.

An unmarried woman like Lan Yan must wear a mat hat even when she goes out, otherwise she will be depraved and condemned by thousands of people.

Zhu Zhanji directly put Lan Yan on the horse and sat in his arms, even if they were unmarried couples, this was a shocking move.

Everyone else looked at Zhu Zhanji in astonishment, but Lan Yan's little maid, Wu Tong, jumped up anxiously, but didn't dare to step forward, and could only look at the four guards.

But these four guards came from Xichuan. They knew that the capital was deep, so as long as their young lady didn't suffer and could keep her safe, they didn't dare to cause trouble at will.

What's more, it's the grandson now, the lady's fiance, how dare they take care of this matter!

Lan Yan was confused again at this moment, since she was hugged by Zhu Zhanji's arm, her thinking froze and she couldn't make any reaction at all.

At this time, Yang Zhangde dragged the young man downstairs, and when the young man saw Zhu Zhanji on the horse, he immediately fell to the ground. "Your Highness, please forgive me...Xiaomin never bullied Miss Lan. My family has been passed down for three generations, so I can't live without the root of the family... There are old people in Xiaomin, and there are young ones. Bar!"

Yang Zhangde slapped him so that he hugged his head quickly, but he knew that he could only count on Zhu Zhanji now, so he looked at Zhu Zhanji with pleading eyes.

Zhu Zhanji was happy. In this era, everyone he came into contact with was serious. People like Yang Zhangde and Ji Gang, although they were gangsters and cruel, they were all serious.

And although this young man was frightened, tears and snot flowed together, but his mouth was full of lotus flowers, and his words were sneaky.

Apparently he was talking to Lan Yan and offended Lan Yan with his words, which made Lan Yan feel aggrieved.

At this time, Lan Yan pressed the back of Zhu Zhanji's hand, blushed, and said softly to everyone, "Your Highness, my body hurts."

"Where does it hurt?"

Lan Yan didn't speak anymore, but twisted her body again.

This time Zhu Zhanji came to his senses, secretly thinking that he was confused.

Women in this era are not like men. They are used to wearing trousers under their outer robes, but still skirts.

Under the skirt, there is at most an open knee, or none at all.That is to say, it is possible that Lan Yan rode on the hard saddle with his naked butt all at once.

Zhu Zhanji stiffened slightly and couldn't help laughing, but he didn't have the time to point it out.He turned over and got off the horse, then grabbed Lan Yan's skirt again, and hugged her off the horse.

"Where's your carriage?"

She didn't dare to raise her shy head, hummed, and muttered: "Wutong..."

Zhu Zhanji understood what she meant, and asked Wutong again, the little girl couldn't speak out the frightened words, trembling all over her body, she almost collapsed on the ground.

Still a guard said: "Please, Your Highness, our carriage is at the stable at the entrance of the neighborhood."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said, "Let someone rush over."

Daming already had strict urban management, each block had its own stable, and cattle and horses were not allowed to be tied up along the street.

Horses and cattle in the inner city are registered in detail, and cattle and horses in the outer city are generally not allowed to enter the city. In order to solve the traffic problem, there are also long-board, open-top and roofed carriages used as buses.

Although the services in all aspects can't keep up, at least they have already taken shape.

Zhu Zhanji waited for the carriage to come with Lan Yan, and then he had the leisure to take care of the young man kneeling on the ground. "Who are you? Why did you offend the lonely Liangdi?"

The young man didn't know Lan Yan's identity at first, but when he heard that this woman was the grandson's concubine, he immediately understood that if he didn't speak clearly, he would die today without a place to bury him.
