Three Kingdoms: I can summon famous generals from all worlds

Chapter 179 Iron Deficiency
Helpless, Liu Bian could only put away the blueprint.

"Although this thing can't fly using ordinary materials, it can be made into a similar one according to this shape. It can be regarded as a plaything. Take it back and give it to Ma Jun to study and play with."

After putting away the blueprint, Liu Bian focused his attention on the small and delicate mechanical bird in front of him.

"Although this thing is not very useful, it is still the only thing in the world. Take it back and give it to Tang Ji."

Liu Bian thought of the plan he had just figured out with Unoka, and decided to implement it immediately.

As for how to replace the original young emperor in the hearts of Tang Ji and Empress Dowager He, and let his new Liu Bian completely overwrite the old young emperor, Liu Bian had an idea in mind.

All he needed was to re-establish his own image in a way that Shaodi couldn't do.

Just like the mechanism bird in front of you.

Not to mention that young emperor, even in the entire Three Kingdoms world, no one can make this thing!

Thinking of this, Liu Bian also understood that what Tang Ji said this morning was actually a signal.

That is, in fact, Liu Bian has been doing this without knowing it.

Including some spiritual treasures given to them, as well as the two-person practice of the true dragon spirit, or their own performance all the time, they are constantly refreshing their understanding of Liu Bian.

"Fine, keep going like this."

Liu Bian weighed the mechanism bird in his hand, let the small and exquisite mechanism bird hover in the air for a moment, and then grabbed it again.

At this time, Pei Mu's voice came from outside the carriage.

"Sir, here we are."

"it is good."

Liu Bian nodded, and then got out of the car. As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the door of Sijiu Bieyuan. At this time, there was a strong man in black, rubbing his palms with a dull face, looking at Liu Bian's eyes. side.

"Old Ou?"

Liu Bian got off the carriage, and the burly man in black was the old Ou Maiga who was in charge of the ordnance casting.

"My lord! Omaga greets your lord!"

Lao Ou seemed to be looking for Liu Bian, and immediately ran to Liu Bian to salute.

"Exemption."

Liu Bian stretched out his hand to help Lao Ou up. Although Lao Ou was dull, he was a very nice person with general knowledge and technical skills. Liu Bian had already handed over all the ordnance manufacturing in Luoyang to him.

"Why are you waiting here in such a cold day? Why didn't you go in?"

Putting his hand on Lao Ou's arm, Liu Bian could feel that Lao Ou was shivering from the cold.

"My lord, I heard that you are not here, so I just wait here for your return."

Lao Ou rubbed his hands again.

"Hey, I'll just go in and wait in the future, don't freeze here."

Liu Bian led Lao Ou into the door and said:

"Come on, come with me inside to get warm."

Lao Ou followed Liu Bian all the way to the lobby.

The warm charcoal stove warmed the lobby, Liu Bian ordered someone to pour two cups of hot tea, and handed one cup to Lao Ou.

"Warm up first, then talk about anything."

"Thank you sir."

Lao Ou took the hot tea, held it in his hands to warm his hands, and continued to Liu Bian:

"I came to see you this time because of the Luoyang sword and Luoyang spear. The fine iron we have been using to cast the Luoyang sword and Luoyang spear has been used up. Since the last two thousand Luoyang swords and Luoyang spears, We just produced another thousand Luoyang knives, and the current fine iron, at most... can also cast another thousand Luoyang spears."

"Used so fast?"

Liu Bian raised his eyebrows, a little surprised and said:
"I remember that when we first started, there was still plenty of refined iron, so it should be more than enough for casting, right?"

"Uh... at the beginning, there were quite a few..."

When Liu Bian said this, Lao Ou immediately showed embarrassment. He wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it.

Liu Bian could see it, and immediately said:

"You just say it's okay, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Uh, yes..."

Old Ou looked slightly bitter and said:
"Actually... my ordnance foundry has been responsible for not only the ordnance casting, but also some other parts casting, including the parts of the loom, and some... some material losses caused by forging failures ...well, it's not enough."

Liu Bian could tell that Lao Ou was telling the truth, and immediately frowned slightly and said:

"Is the casting failure causing more losses, or the parts of the loom being used more?"

Old Ou blushed slightly.

"There are more losses. The parts of the loom do not use many materials, but they are more labor-intensive, and...the work is so delicate that ordinary craftsmen can't do it at all, and some experienced craftsmen are still needed. "

Liu Bian nodded, roughly understanding the reason for this matter.

Shangguan Wan'er needs to cast looms in batches, so they need refined iron parts for the looms. These parts are relatively important. If they are made of ordinary iron, it will affect the service life of the looms.

This consumes some of the fine iron that Old Ou used to make weapons, and because these parts are relatively fine, a large number of experienced craftsmen must be employed.

As a result, Lao Ou had to transfer another group of people to forge weapons, and these craftsmen were inexperienced and their craftsmanship was not that good, so the loss of casting failure began to increase.

That being said... there is still a lack of talent...

Liu Bian couldn't help thinking of the lines in a movie he had seen in his previous life.

Even in this era, talent is still the most expensive!

Shaking his head helplessly, Liu Bian said to Old Ou:
"The parts of the loom cannot be broken. As for the weapons, the production of Luoyang swords and Luoyang spears can be relatively slow, but the loss must be reduced. I already know about the lack of refined iron."

"Yes."

Lao Ou nodded, with a rather ashamed expression on his face, and said:

"Please forgive me, my lord. It is my responsibility to consume refined iron."

"Forgive your innocence."

Liu Bian waved his hand and said, "But the remaining refined iron must reduce the loss, understand?"

"Remember this, subordinates."

Lao Ou hurriedly agreed.

After Lao Ou left, Liu Bian frowned slightly.

"Iron mine... It seems that Yizhou must be taken."

Through the memory of his previous life, Liu Bian knew that during the Three Kingdoms period, most of the iron mines were within the territory of Cao Wei.

Among them, Yizhou, where Han Fu is located, is relatively rich in iron ore.

Even in the world of Liu Bian's previous life, that place was an old area of ​​steel production.

"Otherwise, I'll make an Anshan steel too?"

Liu Bian shook his head and smiled, and after seeing off Lao Ou, he walked towards the inner courtyard.

……

In the room, Tang Ji, who was dressed in Tang silk Tang suit, was sitting next to the table, playing with a few black and white chess pieces in her hands, and on the table was a chessboard.

Tang Ji was facing the chessboard, playing chess with herself, her expression was not boring.

During the Three Kingdoms period, although there were relatively few things to have fun, people enjoyed themselves.

While thinking, Tang Ji suddenly heard a light knock on the door.

"Who?"

Putting down the chess piece in her hand, Tang Ji turned to look at the door.

But there was no reply.

"Who knocked on the door?"

Tang Ji stood up from her seat. She was usually quiet and would not keep a maid when there was nothing to do in the room.

However, only a few knocks on the door responded to her.

She frowned slightly. Fortunately, it was a sunny day. If such a thing happened at night, Tang Ji would not dare to open the door no matter what.

When they reached the door, Tang Ji gently opened the door, but there was no one outside.

Only a few snow balls were added on the ground at the door.

Obviously, the knock on the door just now was caused by these snowballs.
