Chapter 300 (1/2)

”Dazhu, I'm going to let you serve as the Minister of heavenly works and Erzhu as the Minister of Geology and mineral resources. Do you have confidence?”

”Ah!”

The two brothers were shocked by Qin Huan's words, and the whole people were stunned.

This time Qin Huan went north to Nanyang and specially took his two brothers who had followed him in Gucheng.

For more than a year, the two brothers stayed in Heishi town and learned a lot of words in addition to making weapons. Therefore, when he was in Xiangyang, he planned to let the two brothers serve as the ministers of heaven and earth respectively, responsible for mining and ironmaking and studying new processes.

”Ah, what? You two are also regarded as elders of our Chinese army. When Qin tie was their captain, you were also the captain. Now they are young generals. It is also appropriate for you to make a Shangshu. Do you know what these two departments do? ”

Qin Huan saw that the two brothers were stupid on the spot, so he had to pat the table.

”Know... Know, the Ministry of heavenly works is making some strange things, such as the Kong Mingdeng.”

Big column responded and hurriedly replied. His tone was excited and trembled.

”Well, not all. In addition to making some strange things, we should also improve various existing processes and tools.”

Qin Huan nodded and then looked at the two pillars.

At the beginning, in order to keep the two brothers, he and sun hope had a hard fight. There was no need to say their loyalty, so they chose them.

”Your Majesty, should the land be used for mining and ironmaking?” Erzhu carefully replied, obviously not confident enough.

Qin Huan's face sank and explained: ”it's not just mining and ironmaking, but to manage all mines and ironmaking plants, explore new mines, and explore what's useful and what's useless, okay?”

”Ming... Understand.”

”I've sent someone to explore clearly. There is a coal mine and iron ore mine in Xichuan, which is not only easy to mine, but also large-scale. There is a salt mine in the west of Nanzhao. I'll allocate 20000 young people for you. You can recruit some knowledgeable people to mine these mines as soon as possible to make iron and salt.”

”Yes, your majesty.” Although he can't make iron and salt, Erzhu hurriedly replied that it's a big deal to recruit more knowledgeable craftsmen at that time.

”Da Zhu, I'll give you a quota of 10000 people. As for who you want to recruit, you can do it by yourself. You can apply for whatever money and food you need. These 10000 people are divided into groups. In the future, they will specially play with the things I let you play with. Of course, you can play with the things you have your own ideas. For the time being, the things you want to play with are written on it, and there are some introductions...”

Qin Huan said and handed over a booklet, which he continued to write in the past month.

In addition to improving some important process tools, there are cement, soap, glass, blast furnace ironmaking, development bomb, and various machine tools.

He only knows the raw materials and general methods of cement, soap and glass. As for the proportion and how to burn, they have to think about it by themselves.

The same is true for the iron smelting blast furnace. It says that two furnaces are next to each other, one is continuously adding coal and the other is continuously adding iron ore, and the molten iron will flow out of the energy source.

As for steelmaking and coking coal, Qin Huan felt that he had nothing to point out, because the people of the Ming Dynasty already knew how to remove impurities from coal, which was only a matter of scale.

The steel pouring method has been very mature in the Ming Dynasty and has the conditions for large-scale steelmaking. It can be said that it is definitely the top steelmaking technology in the world in this era.

Compared with cement soap, Qin Huan could provide a general direction. All kinds of machine tools Qin Huan could only give a concept, that is, to process iron like a carpenter processing wood.

Qin Huan believed that as long as he was willing to invest and find special people to make drums every day, these things would come out one day.

Da Zhu just looked at two pages and was surprised to know that this job is definitely not easy, because he has never heard of many things inside.

Qin Huan patiently explained to the two brothers, gave them instructions, and asked them to do it.

After the two brothers went down, they were both excited and nervous.
