Chapter nine hundred and eighty-eight: a great invention made at will

Qin Feng, who was squatting on the ground, did not notice some of the madmen who rushed out of the door. They rushed up and surrounded Jin Jingnan in the center. Qin Feng's personal guards had only time to form a circle and surrounded Qin Feng in the center, which completely blocked Qin Feng.

"Minister, I have found the trick to further increase the temperature of the converter. Sealing, our sealing is problematic!"

"Not only seals, but also materials for building converters, the strength of refractory bricks needs to be further improved!"

"Minister, I have another material. After adding it to the molten iron, I can get steel of different strengths."

"County magistrate..."

"County magistrate..."

A group of people surrounded Jin Jingnan, and they said and said nothing, and they didn't have the chance to speak at all. They all looked at Jin Jingnan eagerly, constantly declaring the importance of what they had developed, because these things were finally implemented, just one word: money!

What you need to invest their research results in practical use is a large amount of money.

Jin Jingnan waved his hands desperately, and finally comforted the guys who were dressed in sloppy, unkempt and strange smells from their bodies. When these people finally calmed down, Jin Jingnan pulled them away and walked towards Qin Feng who was surrounded by guards.

The guards made a gap in time, and Qin Feng recovered from the shock just now, stood up straight, and looked at everyone with a smile. His shock just now was not because he discovered the strangeness on the ground, but because of the fanaticism of these guys. Jin Jingnancheng did not deceive me, but because he was indeed a group of madmen.

"Everyone, sirs, the Emperor is here to visit everyone in person." Jin Jingnan stood on Qin Feng's side, said loudly to the group of guys.

The yard immediately became quiet like death. Immediately, there was a crackling sound from the room behind people. Something fell to the ground and broke into pieces. Then, several equally sloppy guys rushed out of the room. While running out, one of them was slapping his beard hard, because his beard had just been ignited, and it had burned half of it at this moment, looking extremely embarrassed.

"Your Majesty the Emperor!" Suddenly, there were screams like ghosts and wolves howling, screaming, changing tone, and trembling. They were called out from the mouths of these guys, forming a strange tone, which made the knowledgeable guards around Qin Feng stunned.

"Why don't you pay homage to Your Majesty!" Jin Jingnan on the side shouted loudly.

Jin Jingnan's shouts finally woke these guys up. The loud voices sounded three times, and more than a dozen people immediately knelt down.

"Long live Your Majesty!" Kneeling on the ground with a prostrategy. Although these craftsmen with low status in the past have become officials in the Ming Dynasty and have good qualities, deep down, they still do not have the awareness of becoming officials. They are more casual with Jin Jingnan. However, they have always had more contact with him and have a better understanding of Jin Jingnan's character.

What a distant and noble existence the emperor is to them!

It was this emperor who helped them get rid of their low status in the past, allowing them to not only eat, wear warm clothes, and live a good life, but also gave them a body of officialdom that they could boast about. In this way, even if they die in the future, their children and grandchildren could write their official qualities on their tombstones to boast about their achievements.

Since ancient times, emperors have not been more wise than emperors of the Ming Dynasty. This is the common understanding of these masters. What they never expected was that the gods in their minds had arrived at their small place today to visit them.

"At up, get up." Qin Feng said with a smile.

No one moved, and everyone was still kneeling on the ground without even raising their heads.

"Your Majesty asked you all to get up. If you don't get up, you will have no money!" Jin Jingnan on the side threatened loudly.

This was extremely effective. With a loud bang, everyone got up from the ground, but they no longer had the calmness and freedom they had before. They still lowered their heads one by one, occasionally looking up at Qin Feng secretly, with a look of awe in their eyes.

"Everyone, all the masters, please be more casual!" Qin Feng tried to make himself look kinder and smiled: "You are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty. Without you, there would be no strong Ming Dynasty storm. I also thank you."

"I dare not, it's all your wise and wise." An old man with beard and hair tangled on the head raised his head with excitement and said, "Without Your Majesty, we are all inferior craftsmen, how can we have the current conditions?" He turned around and looked at the house, house, and various facilities in the yard.

"The conditions can be created at any time, but talents are not available at any time." Qin Feng laughed.

"Although there are thousands of miles of horses, you still need a mentor like Your Majesty to discover them! There are many mentors, but there are not many mentors." Jin Jingnan flattered quietly.

Qin Feng was calmly flattered. Indeed, in addition to the Ming Dynasty, the status of craftsmen in other countries was still very low, which also gave the Ming Dynasty more opportunities to use ten means to poach the corners of other countries and bring them to the Ming Dynasty like ants moving them.

Because these craftsmen had a low status in Qi, Chu and Qin, their departure had not attracted the attention of these countries so far. Of course, major experts like iron smelting and steelmaking were all trained by the Ming Dynasty themselves.

Now, these masters have completely become obsessed with these research. Without any worries, every little improvement will make them ecstatic.

Qin Feng did not pay attention to their achievements in iron smelting and steelmaking, but instead squatted on the ground again, knocking on the dusty ground in the yard, "Dear masters, what is this? How did it be done?"

Seeing that His Majesty was interested in the ground, the masters in the yard were surprised for a while, and then the bearded old man stood up.

"Your Majesty, the yard was paved with bluestone slabs before, but the grass-farmers were all heavy guys, and they broke the floor at any time without placing the slabs. When it rained, the yard became muddy again, so we thought of some other ways to make the yard like this."

"How did it work like this?" Qin Feng knocked on the ground, and the strength of the ground surprised him: "Is it easy to work? Is it simple?"

"It's so great!" The bearded man obviously did not regard this as a matter. "Your Majesty, we have nothing else here, there are many kinds of ores. We accidentally discovered that if we can mix a kind of marl stone ore with lime and clay together, we can create a ground that can be quickly dried and has a very high hardness. The bluestone slabs are much harder, and ordinary iron ingots and steel ingots cannot be smashed at all, so we made some of them, making the ground all like this, it was so rough and tight."

"You said this kind of thing is easy to make?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the people of the grass can demonstrate it for Your Majesty immediately." The old man said quickly, afraid that the emperor would think he was lying.

"Okay, show me how to show it." Qin Feng nodded repeatedly: "By the way, you are all officials of the Ming Dynasty, but you are no longer grass-roots people. This title can be changed."

"Yes, yes, the grass people, oh no no no, it's a humble minister, my majesty, don't blame me, you majesty, we are still a little uncomfortable." The old man blushed and said authentically.

Qin Feng couldn't help laughing, which reminded him of the shipyard leader Yu Cong when he was at Baoqing Shipyard. He had the same expression, just as cramped.

The things in the yard are ready-made, and the marl is quickly ground into powder, mixed with some lime and clay, stirred evenly with a shovel, and then mixed with water, and it becomes a paste-like thing.

Several masters took the tools and spread them evenly on the ground.

"That's it?" Qin Feng asked in surprise.

"Yes, Your Majesty, that's it, but it will take a certain amount of time for them to dry. It will take several days to reach the intensity of this yard. Of course, if the sun is good, the time can be greatly shortened. The one I made last year was summer, and it seemed that it would be extremely hard in just two days." The old man looked at his colleagues around him with inquiring eyes, and got a positive look.

"Can they be made into pillars or piers? Then they can still maintain such strength?" Qin Feng asked.

The crowd looked at each other, "Your Majesty, this minister hasn't tried it, but now it can be tried."

Several people quickly went to find a few iron plates, formed a square shape, poured the paste in it, and then pounded it with wooden sticks for a long time.

"Your Majesty, it will take a long time to wait until they are fully formed. Your Majesty might as well look at the little achievements of the ministers over the past period of time!" I wondered why the emperor was interested in this, the old man still thought about pulling the emperor's attention back to the achievements of their great experiments. Only Jin Shengnan, who followed Qin Feng, understood why Qin Feng attached so much importance to these things. Thinking that if this thing was really so simple and effective, I was afraid that the Ming Dynasty would leap forward a big step forward. As soon as he thought of this, he showed joy on his face. This was something made under his rule, even if it was made unintentionally, but it could also be regarded as his own political achievements! The competition between himself and Fang Dazhi seemed to be a long-term and systematic project, but Jin Jingnan believed that he was sure to win.

The Ming Dynasty needs an enterprising official like himself.
