The system forced me to be emperor

Wu Mingshan originally wanted to be courteous and generous, but when he heard Xiao Rui's words, he immediately said righteously: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I understand that I will never affect the people because of the search for meteorite. On the contrary, I will Mobilize the people, let the people actively search for them, and let them earn extra livelihoods."

Xiao Rui nodded before returning to Yunhe County.

When they arrived in Yunhe County, after discussing with Guo Jia, Xiao Rui immediately arranged for a soldier to ride a fast horse to Hangzhou Mansion to call Shen Wansan and Jinbao, and let them come to Yunhe County again. These meteorites will become Xiao Rui's secret Weapons, so they must be transported back to Hangzhou, where the smelting and forging will start, and weapons and armor will be cast.

After the soldiers left, Xiao Rui couldn't help but praised: "Hangzhou is really my lucky place. Not only did I get a lot of gold and silver, but now I also got meteorite iron, haha... Who said that going out to inspect the state capital is suffering? I If you stay in the capital, how can you have these benefits?"

Guo Jia also nodded in agreement, and said: "His Majesty's decision is indeed a wise choice, and now His Majesty has also secretly left the capital, staying in the capital to fight, it is meaningless, because His Majesty can't see it! In addition, Wei Haichuan, the governor of Hangzhou Prefecture, has been escorted to the capital. I believe that Xiao Yiheng has started to attack Sui Guogong. It's a meaningless fight!"

Xiao Rui nodded. He left the capital for more than a month. Not only did he gain Dian Wei, he also won Zhang Hao, the commander of Hangzhou, and he also got a lot of funds and meteorites. !

Think about it, it's really fragrant!

"By the way, Fengxiao, you said that my father is visiting in private, where will he go?" Xiao Rui came up with an idea and asked, "If you don't, you will also go south."

"This..." Guo Jia hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Your Majesty's decision cannot be guessed, but let your Highness choose, if you know that your son is going south to inspect the state capital, will you follow suit to see the results? The Fifth Prince Xiao Yuan was demoted to serve as governor of Fuzhou, so it happened to let him go to the south to have a look."

"Eh...yes, why did I forget about King Ming, further south you will reach the boundary of Fuzhou, not far from Minzhong, and you will be in his territory soon." Xiao Rui nodded.

"Hurry up and notify Wu Mingshan, and speed up the search. We won't go to Fuzhou if we get the Meteorite, and go west immediately. I don't want to see my father." Xiao Rui immediately set the tone.

Guo Jia nodded, and immediately went to inform Wu Mingshan.

In the next few days, Yunhe County was very lively, and the people all rushed out of the county to look for the meteorite.

This is also rooted in Wu Mingshan's announcement. Whoever finds the meteorite will be rewarded. Originally, the common people didn't believe it. Whoever is the magistrate of Wu County, what he said could be true, but then I heard that it was the capital The announcement issued by the officials who came here, and when some people found a piece of meteorite the size of an iron pot and handed it over to the county government, they got two taels of silver!

In an instant, this caused an upsurge in searching for meteorites.

In just five days, the courtyard behind the county government office was full of meteorites, large and small, the big ones were as long as ten feet, and the small ones were as big as fists.Xiao Rui has already spent thousands of taels of silver for these meteorites. Of course, he spent it happily and it was worth it.

As soon as Jin Baobao and Shen Wansan returned to the Hangzhou mansion, they rushed over immediately when they learned of Xiao Rui's summoning.

At this time, in an inn in Yunhe County, a young man with a strong bow on his back held a piece of meteorite in his hand, and gently knocked on the door.

Chapter 308: The Emperor Father is Coming, Run Now!

In an inn in Yunhe County, a young man carrying a strong bow came to a private room and knocked lightly on the door.

crunch...

The door was opened, and a person came out of the room. His beard was particularly attractive, thick and thick, and he could tell it was a fake. After all, you have age spots and wrinkles on your face, and you are embarrassed to stick to young people. Blackbeard?

If Xiao Rui were here, he would point to his nose and scold: Hai Dafu, how dare you pretend to be a man!

That's right, this person is Hai Dafu.

The young man with a strong bow on his back needs no introduction, and he knows that he is the leader of Yan Qing.

"Have you found out?" Hai Dafu asked.

Yan Qing nodded, handed the meteorite to Hai Dafu, and then told Hai Dafu the details of the investigation.

After Hai Dafu listened, he nodded and told Yan Qing to retreat, then closed the door, turned and went back to the room.

At this moment in the room, Emperor Xia in a plain gown was reading a book. He put down the book and asked, "What's going on?"

Hai Dafu respectfully said: "His Highness King Xian came to Yunhe County, and asked the county magistrate of Yunhe County to issue a list, and His Highness paid for the people to find this kind of ore. The funding is very generous, so the people are scrambling to search for it."

The group of them just entered Yunhe County yesterday. They passed through Lishui Mansion, but they didn't hear about Xiao Rui's traces here, so they continued to go south, and happened to arrive at Yunhe County.Their speed was already slow, and Xiao Rui and the others had been delayed in Songyang County for so long, so it was a coincidence that the two parties just met in the small county town of Yunhe County.

After listening to Hai Dafu's report, Emperor Xia took the Meteorite and asked curiously, "Why does he collect ores when he has nothing to do?"

And when Emperor Xia got the meteorite, his eyes lit up. When he was young, he led troops to fight in the north and south, and was proficient in military warfare. He weighed the meteorite in his hand, and immediately noticed the difference in weight. The weight is heavier than the same volume of Bailian Steel.

"Is this... Meteorite?" Emperor Xia was well-informed and immediately thought of the origin of this object.

Hai Dafu said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it should be meteorite. Just now Yan Qing, Mu Chen and Qinglian swordsman inspected it and found that this meteorite is a rare metal ore. It is hard and of high quality. If you use it to forge Weapons are sharper and stronger than hundred-refined steel, and they are definitely top-notch materials, comparable to thousand-refined steel!"

The craftsmen of the Great Xia Kingdom are highly skilled, and the forging of weapons is divided into the hundred steelmaking method and the steel pouring method.

Steelmaking is to repeatedly fold, forge, and repeatedly heat and forge the red-hot fried steel.Repeated forging can eliminate the inclusions in the steel and reduce the size of the residual inclusions, so that the composition tends to be uniform, the structure tends to be dense, the grains are refined, and the performance of the steel is improved.The "fine iron" is heated and forged more than 100 times, one forged, one weighed and one lightened, until the weight is not lost, that is, hundreds of steelmaking.

The toughness and strength of the weapons produced by Bailian Steel are very good, but unfortunately, the process of frying steel is complicated, time-consuming and labor-intensive, so it cannot support the weapon needs of the entire country, so the weapons forged by Bailian Steel are only distributed to the forbidden army and the land of Gyeonggi the guard.

The weapons issued by the command divisions in other military towns and localities are all forged by pouring steel.

The so-called steel filling method is to select high-grade iron ore to smelt high-quality pig iron, and then pour the liquid pig iron on the wrought iron, and after several degrees of smelting, the iron is carburized into steel.Because pig iron and wrought iron are "settled" together, the steel produced is called "settled iron".

The method of pouring steel is more common because it shortens the smelting time, improves productivity, and decarburizes pig iron into steel, thus increasing the output of steel.

However, the method of pouring steel seems to be easy to operate and easy to master.But if you want to get high-quality steel, the ratio of pig iron to wrought iron must be well controlled, otherwise you will get twice the result with half the effort.

The craftsmen of the Great Xia Kingdom are highly skilled, so the methods of making steel and pouring steel are the best among the seven countries in the Chinese mainland.

However, no matter whether it is the hundred steelmaking method or the steel pouring method, it is overshadowed by the thousand steelmaking method.

As the saying goes, thousands of smelted steels are turned into soft fingers, and after thousands of beatings, the impurities in the refined iron are completely removed, and the forged weapons are magical weapons, far superior to ordinary weapons.

But it is too difficult to make thousands of steels. In the Great Xia Kingdom, they are all equipped for the top generals, such as the weapons of Yan Qing, Mu Chen and Qinglian swordsmen who followed Xia Huang to protect them.

And now?

The small meteorite in his hand has not been forged, and its material quality is comparable to that of thousands of steels. What does this mean?

Who would have Emperor Xia's unique vision, he immediately understood the reason for Xiao Rui's eagerness.

"What a boy, he actually found such a treasure! Meteorite from the Outer Space is a rare item. I never thought there would be such a treasure in such a tiny place! Why haven't I heard of it?" Xia Huang asked.

Hai Dafu said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, it took a long time for the meteorite to fall from outside the sky, and Yunhe County is remote. Even if the news reached Lishui Mansion, it would be delayed if it reached the governor's place, and no one was hurt, Your Majesty." I'm busy with official duties, so I don't think I have a real report."

Emperor Xia just mentioned it casually, so he didn't pursue the responsibility. He looked at the meteorite and asked, "How much meteorite did King Xian get?"

"Commander Yan Qing didn't dare to approach. His Royal Highness King Xian and the guards around him all knew Commander Yan Qing, and the mansion was strictly guarded by His Royal Highness's soldiers, and outsiders were not allowed to approach, so they failed to investigate." Hai Dafu said.

Xia Huang laughed: "Cunning boy, he wants to keep it for himself! Keep all the forged weapons for himself!"

Hai Dafu was overwhelmed and dared not answer.

His Majesty's words can be big or small, it depends on what His Majesty thinks.

Emperor Xia pondered for a while, and said: "Send Yan Qing to take a look at it at night, I want to see how much benefit this kid has gained!"

"Yes!" Hai Dafu responded immediately, and then went down to notify.

Night falls.

Xiao Rui was playing chess with Guo Jia, and there was a bottleneck in the search for meteorites. Many people dug three feet, but they couldn't find meteorites, so the amount of meteorites earned in the past two days was very small.But Xiao Rui was already satisfied. The meteoric iron obtained now was used to forge weapons, and it should be able to equip a thousand people, not the kind of equipping ten thousand people that Xiao Rui expected.
