The system is not as calm as he is, but he is a little worried about all kinds of unpredictability that may affect his status in the future, "Isn't His Royal Highness afraid that your father will settle accounts after the fall?"

Yinfeng smiled and shook his head.Since he wanted to accomplish this, he had to show the spirit of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water. He did not froze at all when he wrote, and said fearlessly: "Khan Ama is so narrow-minded, he always loves Gu."

It has to be said that this kind of unscrupulous way of doing things will probably be another sign of His Highness the Crown Prince for a long time.

After finishing writing, Yinreng took up a pen and wrote a letter to Dai Zi.He wanted Dai Zi to increase the number of blast furnaces as soon as possible, in case there was not enough steel produced when rebuilding cannons later.The system watched him write with a pen, thinking that His Royal Highness is completely used to cutting first and playing later.

Not much different from what it expected, this letter didn't even pass the Ming road from Kangxi.In addition, Jingshan is not far from the capital, so the letter was in Dai Zi's hands on the same day.

Dai Zi looked very complicated after reading the letter.Aside from the sudden change of making firecrackers to making stoves, he has a lot of troubles to start a new stove here.Even though His Royal Highness is interested in doing business, he doesn't often come to Jingshan, so he probably doesn't understand the production pressure here.

There are currently four blast furnaces in Jingshan, which are enough to support the current requirements for the manufacture of artillery and guns.Without the war, the craftsmen are much more relaxed than before.It is not impossible to add a blast furnace, but this furnace is also used to make steel, which is indeed a bit difficult.Especially if you want to add more than a dozen at once.

Dai Zi looked at the clear quantity requirements on the rice paper and sighed heavily.At least fifteen blast furnace indicators, this task is too difficult.It's not that he is poor in execution, this matter is obviously hidden from the emperor, so the necessary scheduling and cooperation with all parties cannot be contacted by him alone.

Why is Dai Zi so worried?A special explanation is needed here.

First of all, in order to ensure the airtightness of the blast furnace and prevent the temperature from leaking out of the furnace body, the mud used for the furnace is specially selected yellow mud, which is only produced in Anhui.A stove needs thousands of stones of yellow mud.Fifteen stoves, it will definitely take more than a dozen carts to come here, and it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources.If you don't apply to ask the court for money and people, you can't even redo the stove with people like Jingshan.

Secondly, in order to ensure that the high temperature of the furnace can reach the melting point of iron, the furnace has to be fired continuously for twelve hours.The coal stored here in Jingshan is already running low, and without the emperor's special approval, it is really hard to send people to continue to use it.

What's more, these four furnaces for smelting iron and steel have already produced a lot of waste impurities. The craftsmen once suggested dredging them directly into the river, but they were afraid of being charged with destroying the royal hunting ground.

Those things have been piled up in one place for a long time, and they are about to be weathered into stones. If there are more blast furnaces, the waste will continue to increase, and Jingshan will not be able to stay.

This good hunting ground was originally owned by birds and beasts.Now since the waste was piled up, those beasts can't wait to hide in the deep mountains and old forests.

To sum up, it is quite difficult for Yinreng to complete all the Ming roads.In addition to these, Dai Zi was still wondering why the prince didn't let him continue to make firecrackers. He had agreed to have stronger firepower, but he couldn't start with the blueprints.

Dai Zi felt itchy and wanted to cry but had no tears.Your Majesty, if you don't find good things when you come to hunt next year, it's not what I want to do.It is really the matter of the craftsman that has been delayed.

It can only be said that subconsciously, Dai Zi already has the idea that polluting the environment affects sustainable development, which is unique to later generations.

These troubles cannot be solved by himself alone. In order not to be held accountable and criticized by the prince for his ineffectiveness, he can only give feedback in time.It didn't even take until the second day, Yinreng received Dai Zi's reply on the same day.

Zhan Xin saw that it was not a military order that promised to complete the task in the past, but a long list of difficulties and contradictions.

Yinreng was a little annoyed after reading it.

I have to say that he is very similar to Kangxi in this respect.If the subordinates can't handle the things he explained, he won't think that the things he explained are too complicated, but only that the people who handle them are lacking in ability.

Angrily, he was about to write another letter to warn Dai Zi not to be arrogant and to do things in a down-to-earth manner, but the system suddenly persuaded him: "Dai Zi's words are also very reasonable, if it can't be resolved, it will really affect the progress. .”

Yinfeng was still angry, and gritted his teeth: "Forget about the rest, the fuel used in this blast furnace dares to complain to Gu. The large forest in Jingshan can be burned for a year if it is chopped up and used as firewood. Dai Zi A dead brain who doesn't know how to adapt."

"Your Highness is wrong." The system shook his head. "Firewood has a limited effect on firepower. To reach a high temperature of 1300 degrees, coal is definitely indispensable. Now there are coal mines in Shanxi and Mongolia, but Dai Zi in Mongolia I can't find the edge, and the governor of Shanxi can't make friends in private, can't I just ask His Highness?"

It made sense for Yinreng to think about it, and his anger dissipated quickly.But after thinking about it, he sighed, "The previous coal was indeed approved by Khan Ama. Now that it is used up, I can only continue to ask Khan Ama for orders."

If I had known it earlier, I would have prepared it for the governor of Shanxi before Khan Ama came back.Now that the hard nail has just been touched, Yinfeng really doesn't want to take this matter to ask him Khan Ama again.

"Except for the coal matter, what does His Highness plan to do with the waste residue? Can't they all be piled up in the mountains?"

Yinrong helped his forehead, "This is indeed a problem."

He himself had stayed in Jingshan for half a month, and he knew very well that waste slag was indispensable for iron and steel smelting.Especially if he piled up a dozen blast furnaces in Jingshan in the future, the waste would definitely be indispensable.

The system laughed, "How about I give His Highness an idea?"

"What?" Yinfeng asked curiously.It has been a long time since the system chief has given any ideas, it just watched him make up his ideas and then followed suit.

"It's better to smash it and use it to pave the way."

"Building roads?" Yinfeng raised his eyebrows, "The roads in the capital are always flat, and only smooth boulders were picked for repairs. Those debris not only smell bad, but they are not even flat."

After finishing speaking, he smirked, "If you only want to punish someone, you might as well send someone to dump that thing at his door in the middle of the night."

The system was choked by his tone of wanting to make trouble, and it took a while to shake his head and said, "I didn't talk about the capital, the official roads outside are also fine. It's not like the official roads are as smooth as the capital, right? This time, people must be sent to Shanxi to bring back the coal. If people were sent to spread this layer of slag on the official road, there would be no need for too many people to level it, and the passing carriages could be pressed firmly. "

Yinfeng's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands happily, "It's really a good way. It saves manpower and money, and it won't ruin the beautiful scenery of Jingshan. I'm really afraid that Khan Ama will go hunting in Jingshan, only to see There is a barren mountain in black."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered that it had been a long time since Khan Ama wanted to go hunting in Jingshan.Must have been unable to stand the smell there.

Yinfeng was about to go to see him, and Khan Ama talked about these trivial things together, but suddenly had an idea, "Tell me, if you mix these fertilizers into the base of the dam, will it work?"

The system searched the data stored in its own program, and said: "Good idea. But if it is to be used in the dam, it is better to process it again, such as washing it with water several times, or adding some other ore into it. "

After thinking about it, Yinfeng thought it was very reasonable.He is a person who has studied chemistry, so he naturally knows how many harmful substances are contained in the fertilizer. If he can't deal with it in time, the downstream people who need water may also be affected.

Strike while the iron is hot, although it was getting late, Yinfeng still went to Qianqing Palace.

Fortunately, Kangxi did not go to the harem that day, and stayed overnight in Zhaoren Hall to deal with the delayed government affairs.Because before the sign was turned over, an expedited letter from Eight Hundred Miles had just been handed to him, and he was in urgent need of an idea.

The excerpt comes from the governor of Guangdong.

Guangdong can be said to support half the sky of southern commerce, and the annual commercial tax paid to the imperial court is more than double that of other provinces.The reason why Guangdong is so rich is that in addition to the advantages of the terrain, there is also an important ferry in the Guangzhou mansion that is related to the exchange of cargo ships between the north and the south.

The ferry side in Guangzhou has always been a mixed bag, because it is the place where the north-south trade is concentrated, and the most ships come and go.In addition to the Qing Dynasty, people from Annan, Burma and even Japan often came here to exchange goods.The imperial court generally strictly manages such ferries, and also sets up separate officials.

Fujian is adjacent to Guangdong, and because of the presence of naval forces, it is much less lively than Guangzhou.

Because of the complex composition of people coming and going, local officials in Guangzhou Prefecture are particularly concerned about this ferry.They are also well-informed, and they often see officials from various small countries, and some of them can't tell which small country is from Taixi or Ryukyu, and they can meet some even five miles away.

Even for foreigners, officials at the ferry are often seen.It was nothing more than some missionaries, dressed strangely, wearing a black robe and carrying a huge cross.At the beginning, ordinary people can also see it as something new, but after getting used to it, they feel normal.

If some unfamiliar people suddenly appeared, the garrison servants would report them immediately.

It was very unusual to meet people on this day.It was a huge merchant ship, much larger than anything I had seen before.

The first foreigner to board the ferry was very strangely dressed.According to the clerk who stared at him, it seemed that the upper body was only wrapped in a bright yellow sleeveless robe that only the royal family could use, and the lower body was not wearing trousers, and his legs were dead white.The collar is piled up on the face, which is greasy and powdery.He has golden hair, and he is holding a handkerchief to cover half of his face. When looking at people, he always looks at people from the tip of his nose, and his eyes are so faintly blue that they seem to be able to shine.

This person was too strange, obviously not the missionary they were used to, so they had to question him repeatedly.A group of yamen almost went up to block him, and he kept yelling in birdsong, but he still refused to explain where he came from and what he came for.

After this arrest and questioning, it had to be reported layer by layer, and it didn't take long for the governor of Guangdong to know about it.

In desperation, the governor ordered the officials of the Guangzhou government to find a few missionaries to be interpreters.After careful questioning, I found out that what this foreigner said was that he was a nobleman of the British Kingdom, and he came to negotiate a deal with the Great Qing on behalf of the King of Great Britain.

Transaction or trade, the translator didn't make it clear.The difference between the two words is not small.The governor didn't dare to make up his mind, so he wrote a note requesting an order, asking Kangxi to give an instruction to tell them what to do.

The main reason is that they also arrested missionaries before, and later these foreigners were all recruited into the capital, and they all held high positions.If he arrests the wrong one rashly, he is afraid of taking responsibility.

Kangxi frowned after reading the excerpt.The usefulness of this foreigner is nothing more than serving in the Qin Tianjian. He has heard of some people who want to exchange ideas with him, ask him to believe in some kind of Allah, and hope to do business with the Qing Dynasty. This is the first time.

So I didn't care about the flop, I looked at the book and thought about how to deal with it.Since they are here for trade, it is not easy to drive them out.But just bringing it to Beijing like this, I was afraid that the foreigner would end up with bad intentions.

Kangxi has been both a monarch and a diplomat for several years, and now he really wants to find someone to test this foreigner on his behalf.But helplessly, none of the people available to the government can speak Western languages.

There are some foreigners in Guangdong, but they are not credible and cannot be used casually.Kangxi was very worried, whether he had to train some people who could speak foreign languages.Ever since Nan Huairen was kicked out in the palace, it had been a long time since anyone sang birdsong in the morning.Finding a trainer is exhausting.

When Yinreng came, Kangxi was writing instructions on the notebook with a pen.
