Two hours later, a group of carriages and horses arrived at the central military building west of Shanglinyuan. Before the carriages and horses were stopped, the new Prime Minister Sima Chang had already come up early.

The place where the military camp is located is located in Shanyin, which is mainly to facilitate the mining and transportation of ore. There will be no mineral deposits on the sunny side of the mountain. The beautiful scenery along the way suddenly changed here. At the back of Shanyin, an official kiln was emitting thick smoke. Around the kiln, there were stacks of neatly built firewood piles, while a stream flowing not far away completely changed its color.

"Report to the Xiang Fu, the task of creating five thousand pairs of horse stirrups and five thousand halberds has been arranged, and the subordinates can guarantee that they will complete within ten days." Sima Chang spoke with a cautious look on his face, and his expression was a little dull and unnatural. The first thing he said when he saw Fu Ge was the most urgent thing at the moment. This dedication made Fu Ge feel a little favorable.

"Thank you for your hard work, Lord Sima!" Fu Ge said with a smile.

"Well, brother, why is the stream here black?" Yu Ji, who got off the bus together, asked in surprise. She couldn't help asking questions. The forest that was still green and green just now seemed to have gone to Hell of Yama when she arrived here.

"Madam, because of the years of mining and casting of bronze and iron, the stream has been dyed black, and the craftsmen call it black water." Sima Chang bowed and replied.

Ironware——Fu Ge, who originally only wanted to make stirrups, couldn't help but lit up when he heard Sima Chang talking about ironware making. Ironware had begun to be widely used in the six countries of Guandong, but it was later in the Qin Dynasty. This may be due to the excellent bronze ware production technology of the Qin Dynasty, especially in the production of crossbows, the bronze crossbows had reached a peak.

In this way, abandoning one mature technology and exploring another unknown technology is not something that everyone can make, not to mention that this decision may endanger the life and death of the country.

"Sir Sima, let me tell you in detail. What is the technology of our Daqin iron smelting? Have you mastered the quenching technology?"

"Our craftsmen have mastered the blowing technology. The temperature of the melting point can transform iron into water, and then cool and beat it into the desired shape. As for the quenching method mentioned by Fu Xiang, I have never heard of it. Is this the technology recently invented by the craftsmen of Kanto?" Sima Chang replied skillfully.

"Well, Lord Sima, I've heard that Sima Liang, you have been the Iron Chief for ten years?" Fu Ge smiled kindly. It was really troublesome to scream from the two Simas.

Sima Chang nodded: "It's been eleven years since the First Emperor's twenty-ninth year, his subordinates took office as the Iron Chief. However, the iron tools made by our Qin State are mainly used for agricultural farming and are not suitable for combat."

"What is this? Is the iron smelting technology not up to standard?" Fu Ge asked.

"Fu Xiangming looked at it, and his subordinates admired it. The iron tools made by my army are easy to be brittle and break, and can only be used as agricultural tools, and cannot be used for war." Sima Chang said in surprise.

Seeing Sima Chang's serious and sweaty answer, Fu Ge said half-jokingly, "Well, eleven years have been long enough. Fu Xiang, this title is really awkward, so why not change it? Then you can call me Brother Fu, and I'll call you, Grand Sima Liang, and Sima Liang feels aggrieved and can only serve as the little Sima. What do you think?"

Sima Chang's familiarity with smelting technology surprised Fu Ge. What was particularly rare is that after Sima Chang learned that Sima Liang, the clan brother and Fu Ge were very good friends, he did not look for opportunities to curry favor with his relationship. He still did a job like before, which made Fu Ge very appreciated and moved. You should know that a person with a fruitful job is often not a good person who everyone praises, and a talented person is unlikely to have time to think about how to find relationships, or go through the back door.

Starting a business is difficult, and Fu Ge has too few talents to rely on. What he needs is someone like Sima Chang who can't welcome him, but who can really help him.

"Fu - brother, no, I'd better call Fu Xiang. I hope the Prime Minister won't blame him!" Sima Chang smiled unnaturally. He even turned it down with the opportunity to appreciate his boss. This person is very stubborn. Maybe this is the tradition of the Sima family. Otherwise, Sima Qian, who wrote the Records of the Grand Historian, would not have been forced to fight against Emperor Wu of Han, but Fu Ge really liked his temperament a little.

Fu Ge and Yu Ji followed Sima Chang all the way to the mountainside, and the huge and endless buildings that were endless in their eyes made him shocked: It is really worthy of being a huge army under the rule of the First Emperor, no wonder it can support the supply of weapons and supplies for millions of troops.

"Shen Tu Da, chief engineer of military engineering, met Lord Sima!"

As the gate of the military building approached, an old worker who was nearly 60 years old and had gray hair and beards quickly came up, bowed down, and said respectfully.

"These two are Mrs. Fu Xianghe. You can accompany us around to visit us later!" Sima Chang ordered.

"Is this Prime Minister Fu? Shentu Da first built all the craftsmen, Chief, and craftsmen thanked the Prime Minister for helping him!" Shentu Da was shocked when he heard this, and then knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

Seeing this, Fu Ge, who was completely unprepared, hurriedly stepped forward and helped Shen Tu Da up and asked, "The craftsman is an elder, why did he perform this great gift? Wouldn't this make Fu injustice?"

Shen Tu said hurriedly: "The Prime Minister doesn't know anything. If it weren't for the order to protect the troops, we would probably be gone now."

Later, Fu Ge learned from Shentu that when Zhao Gao was broken, he issued an order to block the mining tunnel to the military supervisors who were stationed in Xianyang, killing all the military workers, chiefs and craftsmen, and burning military soldiers. Fortunately, Fu Ge ordered Li Shang to send an army to Shanglinyuan early, otherwise it would become a place of death.

Note: Answer readers’ questions in the book review area together:

1. Regarding the public anger of Xiaobing's word count too few in a single section, Shan, let's put it this way, the word count will not change before it is put on the shelves. If you want to make the list, you have to update quickly. My speed has not been raised, so I have to use the reduction of the word count to offset it. Please understand this! However, after it is put on the shelves, the word count will increase, at least not less than 3,000 words. Please rest assured. If you think it is annoying to turn pages in a single section, you can use it with the function of reading in a volume.

2. Regarding the book reviews that some readers criticize that Shuttle through is a lie or random writing before they see Fu Ge recovering their memory. I can only ask you to read it again after a while when you are in a good mood. A person with a sluggish mentality will not read Xiaobing's book. To state one thing, every time you see it, it will affect the mood of typing. I am sorry that there will be such book reviewers in the future.

3. The problem of 20,000 people fighting Hangu Pass is already very clear in the book. The one stationed in Hangu is Yang Xiong's second-line Qin soldiers. These soldiers are defeated soldiers who have lost battles in a row. They cannot be compared with the elite Qin army, and there is almost no battle to confront the Qi army of the Qin army at the same time. In addition, Yang Xiong's military talent is mediocre, so Fu Ge can break through Hangu Pass. I have to say here that Hangu Pass is dangerous, but it is also looking at who is guarding. Readers who ask this question should have committed empiricism. Regarding the title of "Emperor", laugh. At that time, this title was copied from a famous work written by Daqin in a bookstore. I didn't expect it to be wrong. Looking back, since someone's books can be published and sold well, this problem is probably not a big mistake.
