On the edge of Zhuangzi, on the edge of the iron-making experiment field.

A slightly strange blast furnace appeared in the original open space.

"It will be completed today!" A middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the stove in front of him with satisfaction, and kept comparing it with the album in his hand.

"Master, the construction is finished, but... can it really make iron? We have never seen such a furnace before!" A young man looked at the furnace in front of him and expressed doubts.

"Ah He, you only know how to work with your head. Do you understand the drawings Chu Anjun gave you?" The middle-aged man was dissatisfied and looked at his apprentice, "You are so lazy, but you are worthy of these days' wages.

?”

youth:……

"The blast furnace blueprint given by the lady is ingeniously designed. If it can be realized, the technique of frying steel will be gone forever and will be replaced by this... um, yes, the method of pouring steel. Do you understand?"

"Yes, yes, everything my master Pu Yuan said is right, and so is what the lady said." The young man shrugged.

"Go and tell the lady that the blast furnace has been built and the furnace can be tested today."

"oh."

…

In the study room.

"Mom~" Huang Yueying was acting coquettishly with her old mother.

She forgot about the school uniforms and work uniforms. Someone had to take care of them...but she really didn't have anyone in charge.

Cai:……

"You, you were crying this morning, and now you summon your mother! Well, my mother will help you this time, and she will go to find your aunts and sisters-in-law soon..."

Huang Yueying responded with a smile, "Thank you, mom!"

In this era, being a woman is a basic skill for women... Oh, she doesn't count. She feels that she really doesn't have the patience to deal with needlework.

Huang Chengyan shook his head and smiled helplessly. He believed that if there was any place where he could be used, his daughter... would not be polite.

By chance, a shout came from outside the courtyard.

"Liu He, a humble citizen, would like to see Mr. Chu An."

…

Liu He stood at the door of the third house. He did not go in rashly, but carefully looked at the large three-entry courtyard.

Surrounded by bamboo fences, not far from the main entrance was the main hall in the front yard. He knew that with his status, he had no chance to sit in the main hall.

Then he shouted, "Little citizen Liu He, please see Mr. Chu An!"

Not long after, Liu He saw Huang Yueying, who was wearing a light blue military uniform with long hair tied up. She looked quite refreshing and neat.

"Liu He?" Huang Yueying looked at the man in coarse clothes in front of her and recalled it. She remembered that he was the apprentice of the blacksmith Master Pu Yuan, "Is something wrong?"

"Chu Anjun, the blast furnace has been built. The master said that the furnace can be tested today." Liu He said casually.

"Has it been built?" Huang Yueying was a little surprised and looked at the time today. It was already afternoon, and it would be dark in two or three hours.

It's not enough time to practice a furnace of iron.

Operating in the dark is too dangerous after all.

Making iron is not making paper.

Moreover, many people in this era have night blindness.

"Yes, it's already built." Liu He pointed to the remote corner.

Huang Yueying looked at it, then nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, please tell Master Pu Yuan to test the furnace tomorrow morning!"

"Tomorrow morning?"

"Well, it will be getting late today. There is insufficient time, inconvenient operation, and great danger." Huang Yueying explained seriously, "If nothing happens today, I will ask Master Puyuan to take everyone home to rest early and finish work!"

Liu He:???

"Girl-kun...this..."

"Go ahead."

"promise."

Liu He was a little surprised, and then turned back.

He didn't quite understand it, but clearly... When the girl gave the drawings to his master, he said that he should build it as soon as possible... Now that it was finished, the girl was not in a hurry.

Strange and strange.

If I can’t figure it out, I won’t think about it.

After work at this time, can I rush home early, or... should I have dinner first and then go back?

Let’s have dinner first. Although there is no pork today, there are also chicken and tofu!

…

When Gan Ning returned to the village, he saw that no one was there at the iron-making experimental workshop, and then he also saw the strange-looking blast furnace. Without thinking, he rode towards Huang Yueying's home.

It happened that the family of three was having dinner, and Gan Ning's stomach growled. He was tired from running around all day... He was also hungry.

I met with Huang Chengyan and Mr. Cai, then handed Huang Yueying the brochure for today's investigation, and hurried to the workshop canteen for dinner.

Huang Yueying:......

"Open it and take a look?" Huang Chengyan asked.

In fact, you don't need to look at it, he also knows the people's sentiments in this area very well.

There are not many rich people.

Most of them must be poor people.

Huang Yueying nodded and opened the booklet. Gan Ning and others visited more than 140 households today. This efficiency is already very high.

Because, among today's escorts... there are really not many people who can read.

Not to mention recording it.

Among the more than 140 households, 30 households have an important worker who is sick; in 50 households, the food storage at home is almost at the bottom; for most of the rest, the food storage is only enough for ordinary families for two to four months. Of course,

If mixed with wild vegetables... reduce the amount of food you eat every day and you can last longer.

Only a few families have enough food to last until the autumn harvest.

shocking.

However, this time she was not as confused as she was in the morning, so she looked at Huang Chengyan and said, "This time, my father is going to help."

Huang Chengyan:...He knew he couldn't escape.

"Say it." Huang Chengyan had no choice but to put down his chopsticks.

"It's mainly about the thirty families whose laborers are sick. They are scattered in various villages. I bother my father to go to the county town and invite five doctors to treat them. The most important thing is... to collect the medical records."

Huang Yueying thought for a while and said.

Yes, what she wants is a medical record.

After all... there are too many things in her mind, and there is also a booklet about barefoot doctors in special periods, as well as other books related to Chinese medicine. There is no Western medicine now, but Chinese medicine, she has to deal with it.

It's not that I don't trust today's doctors, I just want to establish a complete logistics system.

In addition, Huang Chengyan was knowledgeable about ancient and modern times, and he had read a lot of medical books, but his old father had never really treated anyone.

"Medical record?" Huang Chengyan was a little confused, but he didn't object and nodded, "I'll go tomorrow."

"Thank you very much, Father."

"Achu, do you really think you are the only one who cares about all the people in the world?" Huang Chengyan smiled, "Eat."

"Um!"

…

Early the next morning, Huang Chengyan went out, and Cai organized the women in the village to make tailor-made clothes for the children in the clan school and the workers in the workshop.

As for copying books, I can only leave them alone for now.

Huang Yueying, on the other hand, pulled Gan Ning towards the iron-making test furnace.

Pu Yuan rubbed his already rough hands excitedly and looked at the towering stove and the high platform built next to the stove.

The furnace test will be started today. If it succeeds...according to Nujun, Baidu Steel can be produced on a large scale!

Then he looked at the pile of "coke" that had been refined several times next to the iron ore. The woman's brochure said that this furnace must use this kind of "coke" to make iron.

"I've seen the queen!"
