“Is what the little prince said true?”

Ma Jun gasped and said in shock.

Xun Yu is a layman and does not know the doorway here.

But Ma Jun couldn’t be clearer!

Although Ma Jun’s main research on weekdays is also wooden ingenuity.

But he is also quite accomplished in the art of forging.

He naturally knew what would happen if the speed of steel forging could reach the speed of iron!

Whether it is the toughness or sharpness of steel, it is far beyond iron!

Once the production speed exceeds pig iron, it will completely replace pig iron!

“This… What are you two talking about? ”

“What is steel and why have I never heard of it?”

Xun Yu said with some curiosity.

Xun Yu never touches this on weekdays, and the versatility of steel is very poor.

This is equivalent to extremely unpopular knowledge.

He didn’t know, but he was excusable.

Ma Jun explained unhurriedly:

“Does Xun Lingjun know what three types of iron are there?”

Xun Yu bowed his head slightly and said:

“I naturally know this.”

“Pig iron, hundred wrought iron, and the legendary thousand wrought iron.”

“Pig iron is our army’s daily equipment.”

“Hundred wrought iron is the equipment for tiger and leopard riding, which is extremely rare, and only a master craftsman like Deheng you can make it.”

“And it’s a lot of time.”

“As for the thousand wrought iron…”

Ma Jun added:

“Thousand wrought iron only exists in legends, and no one has ever been able to make it!”

“Even I can’t do it at the moment.”

“But this steel, just forged, has surpassed the toughness and strength of a hundred wrought iron!”

“It’s just that the production process is particularly tedious and takes a lot of time.”

“The loss of iron is even more amazing.”

“If you can make a more refined steel, I am afraid you can easily reach the level of a thousand wrought iron!”

While speaking, Ma Jun could not hide his excitement:

“If what the little prince said is true.”

“Once I can produce steel in large quantities, many of my ideas will be realized!”

Cao Yi smiled slightly:

“Please rest assured, sir.”

“The steel I want to forge is not the steel I use on weekdays.”

“It’s reinforced steel.”

“If this strengthening steel is divided according to the grade that Mr. Fang Cai said.”

“It should be counted… Thousand forged steel grade, right? ”

Hearing this, Ma Jun’s eyes almost fell out in shock, and his voice was even more hoarse:

“Little Prince… This…… Is this true? ”

Ma Jun stutters a little on weekdays.

So usually Ma Jun is not very good at words.

After contact with Xun Yu for a long time, Ma Jun’s bad problem can be regarded as a change.

It is only when the excitement is beyond comprehension that such an old problem can be committed.

Not to mention Ma Jun, hearing Cao Yi’s words, even Xun Yu was dumbfounded.

“I also have the production drawings of this thousand forged steel.”

“However, making this thing requires extremely high technical skills, and it is necessary to make a forge.”

“It’s hard to do with human power.”

“Therefore, I also look up to Mr. to complete the forge as soon as possible.”

Cao Yi sighed softly and spoke.

It’s not that Cao Yi looks down on Ma Jun.

But it is.

If you want to create reinforced steel through manpower, it is not impossible.

It’s just that modern tools are needed.

This is tens of thousands of times more difficult than making a steel forging furnace.

If only that technology were available, aircraft cannons could be easily made.

“Good! Good! ”

“Little master, wait first, I’ll just…”

Before he finished speaking, Ma Jun sighed softly like a deflated leather ball:

“Little master, although this thing is a divine artifact, I can try it.”

“However, there are two major difficulties…”

Cao Yi couldn’t help but be slightly stunned:

“Sir, please speak.”

Ma Jun said in a deep voice:

“The first point is the manpower problem.”

“If I were the only one to make such a huge project, I am afraid it would take at least several years to make.”

“At least hundreds of artisans need to work together, maybe to make this thing as soon as possible.”

Xun Yu spoke:

“Don’t worry, leave this matter to me.”

“Although there are not many blacksmiths, it is not difficult to gather a hundred people.”

Ma Jun nodded and continued:

“This matter is indeed not difficult for Xiaogongzi and Xun Lingjun.”

“But the difficulty is in the second point.”

“If you want to make this forge, I am afraid that you will need to consume a lot of iron.”

“It’s so much that I can’t imagine it now.”

“I don’t have much iron on hand now, even if Xiao Gongzi orders to collect iron, I’m afraid it may not be enough…”

Hearing this, Xun Yu suddenly fell silent.

Ma Jun is right, this point really can’t help much.

Iron has always been in short supply, and even the military is far from enough.

Many soldiers still wear ordinary leather armor today.

Cao Yi smiled indifferently and said:

“It’s not difficult.”

“I do have a way to get a lot of iron.”

“However, I need Xun Lingjun to do me a favor.”

Ma Jun said excitedly:

“Since the little prince has a way, he will have to work for you.”

“I’ll start researching this right away!”

Saying that, Ma Juntou left without looking back.

Hold the drawing tightly in your hand, like a treasure.

……

Xu Du is at the gate of the prison.

Xun Yu looked at Cao Yi with a particularly complicated expression:

“Isn’t the little prince looking for iron…”

“How did you bring the official to the door of this prison?”

Xun Yu knew that Cao Yi had always disliked acting according to common sense.

However, this is also too counterintuitive, right?!

If you look for iron, you will find iron.

What’s going on at the prison door?

Is it necessary to requisition the prison gate and the shackles on the prisoners?

The key is that many doors are made of wood…

Xun Yu felt more and more that he really couldn’t see through the five-year-old child in front of him.

Cao Yi smiled and said:

“Xun Lingjun rest assured.”

“I only need Xun Lingjun to do one thing, and I will leave the rest to me.”

Xun Yu said inexplicably:

“Little prince, please say, as long as it is in accordance with the law, the lower official will do his best.”

Xun Yu also knew in his heart that if it was like what Ma Jun had just said, he could make such a powerful material.

It will be a good thing for the benefit of the people and the whole Han.

There’s no reason not to help.

Cao Yi said with a smile:

“I also hope that Xun Lingjun will send someone to bring me all the prisoners, especially the death row prisoners.”

“In addition, some soldiers will be dispatched … Twenty thousand should be enough. ”

Originally, Xun Yu nodded thoughtfully.

But the more he listened to Cao Yi, the more outrageous it became, and Xun Yu suddenly couldn’t hold back:

“Little master, this matter is categorical.”

“If it is an ordinary prisoner, it is brought up.”

“This… How could this death row prisoner bring it up? ”

“These people are heinous villains!”

“If you bring it up, if you escape, wouldn’t it be a mess?”

Cao Yi helplessly spread his hands and said:

“So you need at least 20,000 soldiers to watch them.”

Xun Yu asked inexplicably:

“What exactly is the little prince going to do?”

On this day, Xun Yu has been confused several times, and now he has gradually become a little numb.

Cao Yi continued:

“Let them serve their country.”

“They definitely can’t march and fight, but they still have the strength to do it.”

Hearing this, Xun Yu suddenly realized:

“Xiao Gongzi means to let these death row prisoners dig up minerals?”

Cao Yi nodded and was noncommittal.

Xun Yu’s heart tightened.

Cao Ei’s method is indeed a brilliant idea.

Today, most young adults are conscripted into the army.

And at the moment, money and food are very tight, and it is very difficult to find labor.

You can’t force the people to contribute in vain, right?

It is not impossible to use prisoners as labor.

However, the reason why steel is scarce is because I don’t know where it will be.

Could it be that Cao Yi will also know the location of the steel?

Xun Yu smiled bitterly.

This is absolutely impossible.

In any case, Cao Yi is just a person, not a god.

However, Cao Yi said with a confident face:

“Xun Lingjun just do it, I have my own way to do the rest.”

Seeing that Cao Yi had said so, Xun Yu couldn’t refuse, so he had to open his mouth and agree.

It will take a while to raise prisoners and soldiers.

Cao Yi took advantage of this effort and directly called up the system mall page.

In the system mall, there is a detailed distribution map of iron ore in the Three Kingdoms period.

Wherever there is iron ore, it is marked in particular detail.

At this time, most of the iron ore was not mined.

This drawing is crucial.

With this object, you know the direction.

In any case, the required iron ore can be excavated.

This distribution map also requires a high reputation value of 100,000.

But reluctant that the child could not trap the wolf, Cao Yi chose to confirm the exchange without hesitation.

After this exchange, Cao Ei’s originally strong reputation value reserve was instantly cut in half.

There are still more than 200,000 prestige points left.

After careful consideration, Cao Yi exchanged corn seeds and pepper seeds, as well as other fruits and vegetables.

Just enough to squander all the prestige points.

At present, if you want to obtain prestige points for a longer time, you can only win the hearts and minds of the people and the military.

It has been proven that harvesting food is the fastest and safest way to do it.

And the fastest way to subdue the hearts of the army is to upgrade the assembly for them and win the battles one after another.

Therefore, there is no doubt that these are the things to be exchanged for first.

……

Soon, Xun Yu followed Cao Yi’s instructions and mobilized all the prisoners and soldiers.

It is not far from the nearest iron ore mining point in Xudu, and it only takes about 500 steps to reach it after leaving the capital.

As for these prisoners, Cao Yi naturally would not let them work for nothing.

In order to mobilize their enthusiasm, Cao Yi specially ordered to go down.

As long as mining is carried out, it can be accumulated every day, thereby reducing the prison sentence.

There are additional rewards for good performance.

Even death row prisoners can still get a chance to survive if they behave well.

Knowing that such prisoners in order to survive, plus the overseers of soldiers, naturally they are desperately mining.

In addition, Cao Yi only needs to provide three meals a day to ensure that the prisoners can work harder.

In this way, such cheap labor can be obtained with very little food.

When the capitalists see it, I am afraid they will also have to leave tears of sympathy.
