I’m Almost At Immortal Ascension, You Say You Want Me To Be The Prince?

The collusion between Shule and Khotan is already a serious matter in strict terms.

Therefore, Li Fengjie sent someone to report and contacted Li Mu to see if he could support the equipment.

Jingnan.

when--

when--

when--

The newly-built iron casting workshop is in full swing.

The sound of forging hammers and iron objects collided with each other.

"Well, the blast stops!"

"Yes!"

This workshop was built along the river, imitating the scale of Hetao's "Heaven and Earth Workshop".

This forged object is not a Divine Armament weapon, but a piece of iron bar.

The thin iron bar of the thumb passes through an iron plate with a hole in the vertebral body, and then becomes a smaller iron bar.

The small iron bars passed through the holes again and became thinner and smaller iron wires.

Although not much uniformity, the level of craftsmanship is relatively rough.

But barely reached the passing line.

Thus the iron wire of the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty was born.

As for why it is necessary to produce iron wire?

It's not always going to be a "rich woman happy ball".

Instead, engage in barbed wire.

This thing is still very useful on the battlefield, so it is necessary to try it out.

"Test the tensile data." Li Mu commanded as he instructed.

"Yes." The technology member next to him respectfully agreed.

"Has the batch sent to the Western Regions set off?"

"We have already set off at the beginning of the month."

"Ah That's good."

"The annealing furnace still needs to be tested several times, record the data, and then choose the best specification to decide."

"Yes."

Wire rod production consumes a lot of fuel because of the need for further heat treatment.

Fortunately, Li Mu now has a lot of coal resources.

This cost is not too much pressure for him.

Compared with the consumption of coal mines, the quality of iron ore is what he worries about.

Because it is not suitable for any iron ore.

The best is of course low-sulfur iron ore, but he doesn't know where this thing is.

The distribution map of mineral resources given by the system at the beginning was not too detailed.

Only some major resource points are marked.

Most of them don't need to look at the picture, but Li Mu knows where it is, but he doesn't want to mine to mine.

Not all mineral veins are no man's land.

He hasn't gone crazy enough to take the land of the people.

"By the way, have you received the final payment from the Western Regions?"

"Go back to Jingyang, I have received it, but most of them are some Western Region gold and silver coins."

After listening, Li Mu nodded and said, "It's okay, it's all melted, and then it's made into SF Silver Dollars."

"Yes."

The materials Li Mu gave to others were generally collected first.

However, the materials given to Li Fengjie were basically booked first, and then waited for him to obtain the trophy before paying the bill.

It is very preferential treatment.

As for this batch of iron wires, Li Mu naturally did not send it to Li Fengjie to play binding art.

Although the Western Territory Turtles were weak in combat power, their escape speed was surprisingly fast. In addition, they were earth-headed snakes and were familiar with the terrain.If they wanted to run, it would be really difficult for Tang Jun to catch them.

Therefore, some necessary interception methods are very important.

In addition to defense, this barbed wire is also very effective in dealing with the opponent's escape art.

After explaining the wire manufacturing matters, Li Mu left the workshop.

After returning to Beppu, I found that Li Zekai and Li Zhen were drinking tea and chatting around the stove.

Li Mu walked over and took a sip of hot tea.

Then he smiled and cursed, "You two guys, it's leisurely."

"Big Brother is also asking for trouble, why do you do it yourself?" Li Zhen smiled while adding tea to him.

Li Mu smiled and said nothing.

He actually doesn't want to let go, but some things are related to the advanced postures of later generations.

I can't help but he didn't do it himself.

"By the way, I was warned that Dou Jiaerlang also went to the Western Regions."

"Dou Xiaoci?"

Li Mu nodded.

"What's strange, if the Dou family doesn't forge ahead in this market today, I'm afraid it will collapse." It was Li Zekai who spoke.

With a look of contempt, Li Zekai continued, "Does Jingyang know the current situation of the Dou family?"

"How to say?"

"Nowadays, Dou Jiakong has the name of a foreign relative, but he has no real relatives, and even the respectability of Guo Gong is almost impossible to maintain."

"Huh? What's the point?"

"Duke Jingyang doesn't know the market in Chang'an today, right?"

"tell me the story."

"Now the market in Chang'an is changing with each passing day. It is no longer comparable to that of Zhenguan in the past four years. The nobles are guarding that little salary and property, I am afraid that they can no longer maintain their dignity."

Li Zekai Barabara said a lot.

To sum it up, just one sentence.

Living in Chang'an is not easy.

The reason for this situation is, to be honest, it has a lot to do with Li Mu, a wild crossing dog who entered in disorder.

In Chang'an in the first four years of Zhenguan, the life level of the nobles was not much different, and the salary and income from the land were enough to make them live a very nourishing life.

But since Li Mu, a wild crossing dog, produced various high-end items, slowly, the world began to change.

Going out luxury carriages, the kind of horses with shock absorbers, fine breeds of horses, widows and Turkic slaves holding incense and umbrellas.

Introductory coal stove fragrant tea, more comfortable quilt pillow, master chair, glass cup, cement, red brick construction, white porcelain floor.

In short, the emergence of various new objects has changed the life habits of Chang'an nobles.

But these have to cost money, and they are also very expensive.

If the nobles do not have the new industry income support, they will not be able to maintain this kind of life simply by relying on the original salary and farm income.

Although you can choose not to have this kind of life.

But what species is Xungui?

A species that would rather starve to death but remain decent.

Others are all in this pomp, can you not be consistent?

Others go out riding Jinshan Zhuangfeng, Qinghai Cong, and Dragon Horse of the Western Regions.

You are riding an inferior horse, and how can you mix in the circle of honor and honor?

But to maintain this dignity, you have to be rich.

Such as Yuchigong, Cheng Zhijie, Zhang Gongjin, and Li Ji, who have a cooperative relationship with Li Mu, they are naturally not short of money.

For them, these decent expenses are just a matter of sprinkling water.

But it's different for the declining noble family like the Dou family.

Especially that is cutting meat.

What's more, the Dou family still couldn't find a figure with real power.

Except for the honorary title, there is nothing.

Whenever there is a bit of real power, people will sell a face and give some resources.

So, in fact, the Dou family secretly didn't know how much money they owed in order to maintain this decent.

If you don't take the initiative to fight for it, it is estimated that you will have to sell your ancestral industry to repay the debt, and you will eventually get out of Chang'an City.

So Dou Xiaoci was cruel and went directly to the Western Regions to fight for a future.
