Chapter 32 Recuperating Ying Zheng’s body and smelting iron with Zhou Zhi

Zhang Shi's official position as Dulang naturally did not qualify him to go to court, so after Ying Zheng gave him the official position and arranged tasks, he sent Zhang Shi to the side hall next to him.

After two hours, the court meeting ended.

Ying Zhengcai summoned Zhang Shi again and wanted to ask about iron ore and iron production.

"We have met your Majesty. Your Majesty is safe."

"Retire without courtesy."

[Looking at Brother Zheng from a close distance, Brother Zheng’s complexion is indeed not good. After a while, I will quietly inject a golden light into Brother Zheng’s body to slowly warm up Brother Zheng’s body]

[Brother Zheng is currently in a state of heavy metal poisoning, and I don’t know how to trick him into eating more milk. Milk has a miraculous effect on relieving heavy metal poisoning]

[I have to say that this ancient alchemist was really talented. He made elixirs with mercury. This kind of elixir would not kill people. How could he live forever?]

Before Ying Zheng asked the question, Zhang Shi began to think about it in his heart. His mind was very active, and his mind could not be empty at all, and it was full of distracting thoughts.

Ying Zheng looked calm on his face. As an emperor, he had to be unfazed by anything, but in his heart he hated those group of alchemists. He was ready to arrest the alchemists soon and torture them severely.

"Zhang Shi, let me ask you, since you can increase iron production, I remember that there is no iron ore in Baiyue Land. How did you learn this technology?"

With a few words, he continued to dig holes for Zhang Shi and his heart.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. I am actually not that knowledgeable and talented. Everything I know was taught by the immortal in my dream. When the immortal in my dream taught me knowledge, he specially told me to dedicate it to Your Majesty."

"If it weren't for the immortal in the dream, how could I, a barbarian, know so much? That's why I am so frightened. Please forgive me for the sake of the immortal's knowledge."

[Hey, this is what I thought of all night. Brother Zheng, if you continue to believe in the existence of immortals, then I can also pretend to be an apprentice of immortals and explain the source of knowledge in a logical way]

[As witty as I am, Brother Zheng must be surprised and confused now, and then he thought, if it weren't for the immortal teaching, how could a young man know so many things, but would have faith in me]

Haha, Ying Zheng just wants to laugh now.

Zhang Shi is naturally full of confidence. Regardless of whether Ying Zheng believes it or not, he will be forced to believe it. At most, he will be more defensive about Zhang Shi.

The emperor is on guard against his ministers, and the ministers are on guard against the emperor. This is normal and there is nothing to worry about.

As long as the ministers are still useful and have not touched the emperor's bottom line, the emperor can tolerate the ministers, so Zhang Shi is so confident.

Ying Zheng's imperial skills are almost perfected. He does not kill many people but becomes more majestic. Only Ying Zheng can do this.

"You are so sincere, I will pardon your crime of deceiving the emperor. I hope you will make good use of your immortal knowledge to contribute to our great Qin. The rewards will be great when the time comes."

What could Ying Zheng say? He could only believe Zhang Shi's lies and follow what the other party wanted.

"Your Majesty, I know how to smelt iron, and I also know the location of the iron mines in our country. Not far from Xianyang City, there is a huge iron mine in Zhouzhi, more than 100 miles away, which is enough for our country to use for a thousand years. "

Since Ying Zheng said so, Zhang Shi naturally climbed up the pole and told Ying Zheng what he knew about the iron mine, and then told him about the Zhouzhi Iron Mine.

[Hey, Brother Zheng came over happily and patted me on the shoulder to show encouragement. It just so happened that I could take this opportunity to inject some golden light energy into Brother Zheng's body to slowly warm up Brother Zheng's body and increase his lifespan]

Zhang Shi has given strategies for what Ying Zheng can do, so he must know what is good and what is bad.

"Okay, my country, the Qin Dynasty, needs a great talent like you. You will lead the Black Dragon Guards to Zhouzhi to find out the location of the iron mines. If you have merit, you will be rewarded. If the job is done, you will be given the title of doctor."

Ying Zheng said as he patted Zhang Shi's shoulder.

Zhang Shi had already had an idea in his mind, and immediately mobilized the Qi of golden light to enter Ying Zheng's body, and then controlled the Qi of golden light to spread out, seeping into every part of Ying Zheng's body bit by bit, nourishing the damaged body.

[Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng, let’s do this for now. If you spend a month absorbing this golden light, your life will be extended by at least three years. Your health will also be much better. If nothing happens, you won’t die in the sand dunes during the east tour]

[The premise is that you don’t take that bullshit golden elixir. I seriously suspect that you were poisoned to death at that time. Hu Hai and Zhao Gao were both around you. They poisoned you, tampered with your edict, and gave Fusu death. It’s more reasonable no matter how you look at it. 】

Listening to his inner voice, Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, then took his hand back, turned around and said.

"Go and do some work. I will give you one hundred Black Dragon Guards. They will listen to your arrangements on the way. After finding the iron ore, they will come back immediately to report the situation."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhang Shi left with the Black Dragon Guard. Ying Zheng watched Zhang Shi disappear in the background at the entrance of the palace, and his heart could not be calm for a long time.

"Go and check what Zhao Gao teaches Hu Hai. Also check the relationship between Zhao Gao and Xu Fu, and what Xu Fu is doing."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The attendants received the order and left. There was a cold light in Ying Zheng's eyes. If there was really a problem between Zhao Gao and Hu Hai, he would have to kill his family for the sake of Da Qin and Fu Su.

Family ties can be valued when there are problems with them.

You should stop losses in time.

As for the golden elixir, Ying Zheng no longer believed in it.

No matter what the alchemists said, nothing was as magical as the fact that he could hear Zhang Shi's voice. As for the two people who refined the golden elixir for him and sent him the golden elixir, he wouldn't believe it unless they had nothing to do with each other.

"I don't know if the golden light that this guy Zhang Shi gave me is useful. It's not bad to extend my life by three years."

Ying Zheng felt that his weakened body seemed to have recovered a little, whether it was due to psychological effects or the golden light.

At the same time, Zhang Shi led the Black Dragon Guards out of Xianyang Palace. The one hundred Black Dragon Guards temporarily obeyed him. Of course, he only had temporary command authority.

"First, send someone to inform the eldest son that I have been sent by your majesty to do something. Please take care of the [-] farmers and [-] hectares of fertile land given by your majesty for the next few days. We are now setting off to Zhouzhi."

"Yes, Master Zhang."

Zhang Han, the commander of the Black Dragon Guards, arranged for two Black Dragon Guards to go to Wangyi Palace, and the other Black Dragon Guards immediately went to the inn to choose horses.

"Tsk, you don't even have stirrups. It seems that when you come back from Zhouzhi, you will have to make war horse equipment."

Looking at the war horse with only the saddle in front of him, Zhang Shi felt helpless.

Under the guidance of Black Dragon Guard, Zhang Shi quickly learned to ride a horse with his strong body.

After traveling through so many worlds, this was Zhang Shi's first time riding a horse. It felt a little strange. Then after riding for half an hour, he felt that riding a horse was not fun anymore and his thighs were feeling uncomfortable.

One day later, Zhou Zhi.

Although he didn't know the specific location of the Zhouzhi Iron Mine, the main body knew it, so on the way to Zhouzhi, the main body had already found out the location of the Zhouzhi Iron Mine.

So Zhang Shi led the Black Dragon Guards straight to the location of the iron mine. Currently, the location of the iron mine is still in the wilderness. It is quite far away from the location of Zhouzhi Town, and a road still has to be opened.

It took a day for the Black Dragon Guard to open a way out.

"Master Zhang, is there really iron ore here?"

"Commander Zhang, now you can lead people to dig down from here. If you dig two or three meters, you will be able to find iron ore. Then, you can dig three to four hundred steps along the four directions. If you find iron ore, then you will be able to find iron ore." You know this iron ore is very big.”

Zhang Han had no choice but to start digging holes with his men. Ying Zheng asked him to listen to Zhang Shi. Regardless of whether what Zhang Shi said was true or not, he still had to listen to the orders given by Zhang Shi.

After half an hour.

One Black Dragon Guard shoveled down and made a new discovery, primitive iron ore appeared, and then other Black Dragon Guards also made harvests. There are ten pits in total, and primitive iron ore has appeared at the bottom of seven of the pits.

Zhang Han quickly ordered the Black Dragon Guards to disperse in four directions and continue digging holes.

Zhang Shi had known for a long time that there was an iron mine here, and now that the iron mine was out, he could take the next step.

"Commander Zhang, give me 30 people. I will make something on the spot, smelt iron ore and produce a batch of iron, so that I can go back and deliver business."

"Master Zhang, just give me your orders."

Zhang Han has already concluded that Zhang Shi is a god at this moment. He brought them to this place where no one can shit and they can find iron ore. They are still smelting iron on the spot, so what is he if he is not a god?

Even the primitive iron-making method requires a lot of preparations and steps. It would take several days to refine crude iron from scratch.

The first is to build a furnace for making iron, the second is to prepare charcoal, the third is to prepare blowing equipment such as bellows, and the fourth is to forge some tools to separate iron blocks.

Naturally, these Black Dragon Guards didn't understand, so Zhang Shi had to teach them step by step. Building the blast furnace, making bellows, burning charcoal, and even mining and beneficiation all had to be completed under Zhang Shi's guidance.

To be honest, if Zhang Shi brings some miners and blacksmiths, he will definitely be better than bringing these Black Dragon Guards, but this is just the beginning, it will get better later.

After three days of preparation, the first blast furnace in Da Qin was completed and iron smelting could begin.

The knowledge Zhang Shi obtained was only text and videos. He had never actually operated it, and he didn't know whether the blast furnace he built would work.

One day later, the three-meter blast furnace went out and the first ironmaking ended.

Under the expectant eyes of everyone, Zhang Shi gave the order and the Black Dragon Guard began to take action.

After smashing the blast furnace and using bronze tools to take out the red pig iron blocks sintered together, Zhang Shi immediately took out a sledgehammer and an iron ax to break the pig iron blocks into small pieces.

(Just take a look, ordinary people can’t do this)

Next comes the forging process, which any blacksmith can complete.

As for why molten iron cannot be smelted, we can only say that the temperature of the blast furnace is not enough, and the sealing is not good. If manpower and blast equipment can smelt molten iron, that is cheating.

Now that you have the pig iron, you can strike the iron while it is still hot, beat the pig iron over and over again, and finally beat it into the desired utensil.

However, Zhang Shi did not strike iron, but planned to wait for the pig iron to cool down before returning to Xianyang with the pig iron to resume his life.

After finding the iron ore, testing the feasibility of blast furnace ironmaking, and obtaining pig iron blocks, you have to return to Xianyang, invite blacksmiths and carpenters, and work together to develop a more reasonable process.

After all, Zhang Shi only has knowledge and zero practical experience. Professional things require professional people.

Ancient people were not stupid, they were just limited by the times and had no knowledge. As long as Zhang Shi guided them and imparted some professional knowledge, the blacksmiths of Da Qin could successfully smelt better and more iron.
