Chapter 148: Cast iron

"Pour three bowls?"
Niu Ben squinted at Lu Fei, thinking that this kid had never seen his drinking capacity when he was by his side before, so how could he say such a mess today.
Lu Fei didn't notice Niu Ben's look. He said, "General, this is not my bragging, don't believe you try it?"
When the pure liquor entered the bowl, Niu Ben suddenly felt the difference, and a strong smell of liquor hit the tip of his nose.
He also tasted the wines of Da Yu country before, but today he opened his eyes.
"The secret recipe of this wine comes from Your Highness." Luo Xin naturally also tasted Drunken Qingzhou, and since then he can't drink other wines.
It's just that this drunk Qingzhou is not cheap, and Luo Quan is very stingy. He would rather go to other houses to give a drink, rather than buy his own money.
It is precisely because of this that he often visits Xiao Ming, but he eats and drinks.
Niu Ben glanced at Xiao Ming again. This king of Qi was even more interesting. After five years in the mine, he just hoped that he would be satisfied with the Ming Master.
"Even so, three bowls would be downed and I would look down on the old man." Niu Ben licked his tongue.
For five years, he hadn't touched any alcohol. At this time, he was greedy. He picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all at once. Then he drank his own drink, two more.
It was too late for the three of them to speak to stop them.
"Hahaha, good wine." Niu Ben laughed, the wine is really delicious, "Lu Fei, how? Three bowls can't trouble me."
Lu Fei smiled awkwardly, thinking that when Jiu Jin came up, it would be clear.
Xiao Ming shook his head helplessly. No one in the army was good at drinking. He set up drinks and dishes to increase the feelings of the generals.
This is also convenient for him to manage the army, but it is his intention to make Niu Ben drunk.
As the saying goes, seeing the truth after drinking, one's character can also be seen from a person's wine, and he can also have an estimate of this bull run in his heart.
After all, this Niu Ben is well-known, but he doesn't know the true temperament, so it was time to test it out.
"The old general has a good drink, Lu Fei, fill the general with more wine, let the general have a good drink today." Xiao Ming said.
Luo Xin kept his head down to eat. He was also drunk by Lu Fei when he first came to Qingzhou. Xiao Ming saw all the nonsense that day.
Niu Ben was like a hungry person who drank water and drank three more bowls. At this time, Jiu Jin suddenly came up, and his body was a little shaky.
At this time, Xiao Ming asked: "Old General, I really feel wronged by coming to Qingzhou this time."
Niu Ben rubbed his eyes, only his head felt dizzy, but his courage suddenly opened like a dam bursting a bank, just wanting to vomit all the sulking in his heart.
He said vaguely: "Your Royal Highness, the old minister came to Qingzhou without being wronged, but the five years he was sent to the mine by his majesty was really wronged. I think I am dedicated to the country and loyal to the liver. The country’s prosperity has flourished, but my heartfelt words have been exchanged for these five years of hard labor. I...I..."
While talking, Niu Ben suddenly cried loudly, very sad.
Luo Xin and Lu Fei looked moved. Now the treacherous ministers of Da Yu are in power, and the loyal ministers and good generals have repeatedly failed, they are also deeply moved.
Therefore, Niu Ben's words also made them feel sad.
From these words, Xiao Ming heard Niu Ben's dissatisfaction with Xiao Wenxuan and his dissatisfaction with the court.
He said: "The old general has suffered. In my Qingzhou, this king will not let the old general's orb become dusty."
The heavier the wine, Niu Ben said: "The monarch treats me as a state soldier, and I shall repay it with a state soldier! The ruler treats me as a passerby, and I repay it as a passerby! The monarch treats me with carelessness, and I shall avenge him! Today, your Royal Highness treats me as a scholar, and I will repay your Royal Highness with a scholar."
"Good! The general really has a true temperament."
Xiao Ming toasted and drank, this is the general he wants.
After saying this, New Ben suddenly lay on the table, drunk and unconscious.
Lu Fei and Luo Xin laughed bitterly. Today, the food and drink are no longer available. They helped Niu Ben up and sent Niu Ben back to Qingzhou Daying.
Xiao Ming watched the three people leave, recalling Niu Ben's words. Everyone knew how to repay grievances with virtue, but they didn't know what Confucius really said was to repay grievances with virtue.
It is precisely this retribution with virtue that has harmed the ages, which caused the great Yu country to influence the barbarians with virtue in the initial foreign policy. As everyone knows, people who are not our race will have different hearts. They can only treat the barbarians with admiration, not virtue.
As soon as the three of them left, Aster walked in at this moment and said to Xiao Ming: "His Royal Highness, there is news from the Department of Equipment, saying that an iron mold has been made. Would you like to see it?"
"Really?" Xiao Ming was overjoyed.
In the morning, he was busy with this in the Department of Equipment. Later Niu Ben came over and he had to come back. At that time, Chen Qi and the craftsman were pouring the iron mold.
Asking Aster to prepare the horse, Xiao Ming went to the Equipment Department.
At this time, Chen Qi and a group of craftsmen were gathering together to assemble the iron mold.
"His Royal Highness, you can pour artillery below." Chen Qi said excitedly when Xiao Ming came over.
In a month, they finally succeeded in producing a qualified iron mold. Now that the craftsmen have experience in making iron molds, the next iron mold is much easier.
"Let me see." Xiao Ming said excitedly.
Since arriving in Qingzhou, he has always made economic development his top priority, not because he does not pay attention to the military.
But he understands that there is no money and food, no people, no way to organize an army, no steel foundation and training of artisans, there is no way to produce artillery.
He invested a lot of money, and extortion has to hire craftsmen, in order to be able to produce artillery as a national weapon today.
Xiao Ming was so excited, Chen Qi and all the craftsmen were also happy, and the whole month of nights was finally in vain.
At this time, the clay gun embryo outside the iron mold has been knocked off, and a black iron mold appears. Like the clay gun embryo, this iron mold is also divided into seven sections. As long as these seven segments are combined~EbookFREE.me~ Able to take a step and produce artillery.
Compared with the artillery, the weight of this iron mold is heavier than the artillery itself. After all, this iron mold has to be used repeatedly, and the quality must pass the test.
"Forge artillery tomorrow." Xiao Ming said excitedly, looking at the cannon model on the ground.
There is not much time left for him, and the production of this iron mold is only the beginning. The production of artillery also needs to consider the skill of this craftsman.
A smile appeared on Chen Qi's face. He said, "His Royal Highness will tell us about the essentials of artillery casting. I only hope that the artillery can be cast at once."
"Don't be anxious about this, you have to be steady." Xiao Ming said with a smile.
Then he summoned the craftsmen of the Armament Department and once again talked to them about how to produce artillery and the details that need attention in the process of producing artillery.
Under the action of the technological spar, the production image of artillery appeared in everyone's mind, which once again deepened their memory of the production process.
