Zhao Weiwang in the Warring States Period

Blast furnace ironmaking requires a lot of coal.

And the place with the most abundant coal mine production in Chinese history is now in the territory of Zhao State!

It was because the Battle of Changping involved too much energy before. When the Battle of Changping ended and the surrounding situation in Zhao State began to stabilize, Zhao Dan planned to start his own journey of climbing science and technology.

In fact, this technology is not so easy to climb. After all, such industries usually require a lot of labor, and population happens to be one of Zhao's weaknesses.

So now Zhao Dan is planning to take a step forward and look at it. In short, there is nothing wrong with starting iron smelting first. If it is not possible, the scale should be smaller.

In fact, Zhao Dan wanted gunpowder more than making iron.

But gunpowder is a hot weapon, and it is much more difficult than iron smelting.

And even if gunpowder is developed, guns and artillery must be used to cooperate, and guns are inseparable from steel, so it is the right way to develop the steel industry first.

Looking at the back of Miao Xian who took the order to leave, Zhao Dan felt happy in his heart.

Qin Wangji, you wait for the widow, when the widow's technology rises, I will beat you scumbags every minute!

But Zhao Dan thought about it again, how could this industrialization be so easy?Iron and steel can still be counted on. When gunpowder is really usable, the widows will have unified the Central Plains long ago.

But it doesn't matter, if the Central Plains are unified, then the widow will use it to fight the Huns, to fight Europe, to conquer the world!

2 Chapter [-] The queen taught her son a good lesson (third update)

Linzi, Miyagi.

The singing is melodious and the dancing is graceful.

Qi Wangjian sat at the top, with a slight blush on his cheeks, and his eyes were fixed on the dancer in front of him.

That lively and graceful body looming behind the light gauze dance clothes made Qi Wangjian feel parched involuntarily, and subconsciously drank the fine wine in front of him.

But the strange thing is that after Qi Wangjian drank the glass of fine wine, instead of disappearing, the dry mouth feeling became more intense.

Qi Wangjian exhaled a long breath, and even the exhaled breath was obviously scorching.

It seems that it is time to end this banquet, Qi Wangjian shook his head, thinking a little drunk.

After the banquet, it was an indescribably wonderful night.

Qi Wangjian's thoughts gradually drifted away, he seemed to see those indescribable lingering situations, that kind of joyful feeling

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

A very inappropriate call pulled Qi Wangjian back from his thoughts in an instant, his body shook violently, and only then did he realize that Hou Sheng had appeared in front of him at some time.

Qi Wangjian smiled, looked at Hou Sheng without the slightest embarrassment and said, "Houqing, why is there no music? That's all, let the musicians disperse, and the widow will go back to the palace to sleep."

Hou Sheng gave a wry smile, with an unpleasant expression on his face: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is coming."

"What?" Qi Wangjian was startled suddenly, only then did he realize that his mother, the Queen Mother of Qi, was standing at the bottom of the hall and looking at him, with an ugly expression on his face.

Qi Wangjian stood up subconsciously, and while walking towards the queen, he apologized with a smile on his face: "Mother, why did you suddenly ouch in the middle of the night!"

Qi Wangjian's foot slipped, and he fell violently on his back, causing the surrounding palace people to exclaim, and rushed up to help Qi Wangjian up.

After Qi Wangjian finally sat down firmly, the cold voice of the king and queen sounded: "You all go down."

In just a few breaths, all the palace people present disappeared completely, leaving only Qi Wangjian, King Queen and Hou Sheng present.

The queen glared fiercely at Hou Sheng, a worthless brother: "Don't go down! Don't let the king indulge in such pleasures from now on!"

Hou Sheng smiled embarrassingly, and immediately walked away with oil on his feet.

After experiencing such a fright and taking a big fall just now, Qi Wangjian suddenly woke up more than half of his drunkenness.

The young King of Qi looked at his mother, smiled a little embarrassedly, and wanted to defend himself: "Mother, actually"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to say more." The Queen interrupted Qi Wangjian and said, "Let's sit down first."

Qi Wangjian didn't dare to be negligent, and respectfully let the king and queen go to the top, and took his seat at the bottom.

This kind of action undoubtedly made the queen's expression look better, and her tone became softer: "Your Majesty, do you know why the old woman came late at night?"

Qi Wangjian smiled awkwardly and said: "Mother, the widow knows. In the future, I will definitely reduce enjoyment and work harder."

The queen gave Qi Wangjian a deep look, and after a while, she couldn't help but sighed softly.

"My lord, the state of Qi is about to perish! Not only does your lord not know it, but he's still enjoying himself here. It's all because of the old woman's lack of discipline. The old woman is really ashamed of the former king!"

Qi Wangjian immediately panicked when he heard this.

Qi Wangjian is of course very clear about what kind of person his queen mother is.

Queens have always been famous for their virtuous names.

This virtuousness does not refer to the virtuous "housekeeping virtuous", but to the virtuous who are "talented in governing the country"!

Being able to make the king and queen say something like "the state of Qi is about to perish" so solemnly, then it shows that the crisis facing the state of Qi must be serious!

So King Qi immediately asked: "Queen Mother, what's the matter?"

The queen looked at Qi Wangjian firmly: "Your Majesty really doesn't know what's going on?"

Qi Wangjian was full of doubts, but finally shook his head: "I really don't know."

The queen couldn't help but shook her head, the disappointment on her face was beyond words, which made Qi Wangjian both puzzled and a bit ashamed, and didn't understand what was going on at all.

The king and queen did not confuse Qi Wangjian for too long.

Only the queen said, "Does your lord know the alliance of the three Jins?"

Qi Wangjian suddenly realized, and slapped his thigh and said: "The empress originally said this matter? Please rest assured, the empress, I already knew about it. The reason why Zhao Wangdan made the alliance of the Three Jins was not for the empress and Qi, but because he wanted to go to the west. Enter and destroy Qin Ye!"

The queen shook her head and said, "Your Majesty thinks this matter is too simple."

Qi Wangjian behaved himself this time, he closed his mouth and waited for the Queen's next words.

The queen said: "Your Majesty must have known that in today's world, it is Qin and Zhao who are fighting against each other."

Qi Wangjian nodded.

The queen said: "In the view of the king, if Qin and Zhao are fighting each other, if there must be a winner, how can it benefit the Qi country?"

Qi Wangjian thought for a while and said, "Qin's defeat of Zhao Sheng should be beneficial to Qi."

In Qi Wangjian's view, Qin State has been the hegemony of Western Heaven for decades since Qin Wangji ascended the throne. Of course, such a country must be feared by anyone.
