I am engaged in construction in Datang

"This, this is going to cause trouble, right?" Sun Fujia trembled.

If the world's writers saw this kind of article, they would make a scene!

Feng Sanxi gave Sun Fujia a comforting look: "Don't worry, the things in the weekly report have been personally reviewed by the owner and the higher-ups, there won't be any problems."

In other words, there is no problem with Fang Xuanling's article.

"So, those rebuttal articles are problematic?"

"No." Sun Fujia shook his head: "It's just a different point of view."

"Some people use harsh language, while others use mild language. Only when a hundred flowers bloom can we learn from the best of all schools of thought." Feng Sanxi pointed to the first article and said, "Minister Sun, take a look."

"Duke Liang mentioned in his question that Tuyuhun is suitable for raising cattle and horses. If we drive away the nobles of Tuyuhun, send ministers and envoys to settle there, assimilate the people, and develop the breeding industry, then Tuyuhun will be at peace."

"But this comment is different. The author believes that driving away the nobles is tantamount to fighting to the death with them, which is not conducive to conquering other barbarians and foreigners in the future. Moreover, the Central Plains is short of manpower, and the barbarians are not of our race. It is extremely difficult to assimilate them. It is better to enfeoff them and give them titles."

Feng Sanxi finished speaking, his eyes burning, "Who do you think has a better idea, Minister Sun?"

Beads of sweat instantly rolled down Sun Fujia's head.

How could he judge right from wrong in an instant? What both of them said made sense.

Duke Liang wanted to prevent future troubles, but it was difficult to implement and there was even a great risk of backlash.

People in the comments felt that assimilation was not feasible and that it would be better to grant fiefdoms and titles. However, this approach was almost the same as the previous one and in a few years the barbarians would provoke the Tang Dynasty again.

Feng Sanxi smiled and said, "This is thinking and debate. The collision of ideas can always make people ponder. Everyone expresses their own opinions. As long as what you say makes sense and your logic is smooth, there will be people who agree with you."

"Ah..." Sun Fujia sighed: "Amazing!"

He has already foreseen how popular this supplement will be in the future, and how many writers will be so angry that they will vomit blood.

"Manager Feng, do you really want me to manage this newspaper?"

"Why not?"

If Minister Sun wanted to start his own magazine, he would succeed sooner or later even without Zhuangzi's help.

After all, there are only a few people in this world who dare to be the first to try something new.

Since Minister Sun has such foresight, he cannot be impeached for any official doing business.

Nowadays, officials themselves do not engage in business, but when their wives marry into the family, they often bring some shops with them. Plus, with the complicated families behind them, they can mobilize a lot of money!

"I have some money given by the madam. Can I ask you to invest in it?" Sun Fujia remembered what the madam said.

"Of course." Feng Sanxi nodded. The manor was short of manpower, and he originally wanted to ask the manor owner's brother for some manpower.

Since this person came here on his own initiative and wants to pay money, it would be a good idea to give him more profit.

"Okay!" Sun Fujia stood up excitedly: "I'll go home and tell my wife!"

……

Nvzhuang Steel Plant.

The progress of the bicycle was much slower than Li Yin had imagined.

It was said to be healed in three days, and it was indeed healed, but it was too heavy and bulky.

Li Yin asked someone to ride on it and pedal hard, but it was still not as energy-saving as running.

There was no other way, she could only go and see for herself.

"Master!" Li Xiaomiao's face was covered in coal dust, and he was holding a steel column about 3 centimeters in diameter. "We want to hollow out the core of the steel column, but it's too hard."

"It needs to be burned before it can be dug." Li Yin said, "Take me to have a look."

"We thought about burning it, but the temperature was too high after burning and it was difficult to fix. This thing is like a stubborn donkey. It's too heavy to lift even if you hit it."

The two talked as they walked.

There are mainly two problems. One is that it is difficult to dig, and the other is that even after digging, the pipe wall is still a bit thick.

Everyone tried countless ways, but in the end none of them succeeded, and the initial enthusiasm was severely extinguished by cold water.

What's the use of making this car?

It would be better if everyone just walked!

The temperature required for forging steel is very high, easily exceeding 1200 degrees. The village has always used coal fires, and the people who dig coal are more than people bought from Tuyuhun.

There is a shortage of staff, but it is barely enough.

Wait until the main group arrives... If you don't ask me to buy in advance, then why don't I just bid too?

Steel ingots are easy to produce, but the difficult part is shaping them.

At that time, when Li Yin first started to produce steel, everyone had nothing, so they used fire-proof materials such as mud and fire bricks to build a cupola and an earthen converter, and then used a blower to blow to increase the flame temperature.

Then you can make steel.

There are even poorer places where people just use mud stoves. People just burn the wood and then take it out of the stove and beat it. This is not as good as Li Yin's method.

When you enter the steel plant, you will see rows of steel ingots neatly stacked in the warehouse.

Li Yin nodded, everyone is shining!

The two walked to the steel forging factory, and Li Xiaomiao clapped his hands: "Everyone stop for a moment, the owner is here to help us solve the problem, come and listen, so that you don't have to know what to do when you encounter problems in the future."

The factory was hot and noisy, and it took a long time for Li Xiaomiao's words to be conveyed.

The men in the village were okay, as no one treated Li Yin as an ordinary girl, but the young men who came from outside to work couldn't stand it.

I heard that Master Li is a pretty young lady, they...

"Ah!" A young man reacted, jumped up and hid behind the stove.

It was like a switch, countless guys started running in all directions with only one purpose, to hide themselves.

"Ahem..." Li Xiaomiao touched his head, forgetting that the owner of the manor was a young lady.

There are all shirtless men here!

"..." Li Yin had a complicated expression.

She couldn't help but glance at the running men, and then was pulled out by Li Xiaomiao with a condemning look.

"Master, don't blame them. They are still young."

Those who were running were guys in their teens or early twenties, while the older ones were very calm.

"I don't blame anyone." Li Yin couldn't help but say, "Actually, you don't have to avoid me."

Li Xiaomiao disagreed and looked at Li Yin and said, "Master, please don't say that next time!"

Li Yin: “…”

When the two of them walked in again, everyone was wearing coats.

“How do you drill the steel column?”

Everyone took Li Yin to the operation site. The steel column was burned red. After everyone clamped it out with pliers and fixed it, another person used a thinner steel column to drill a hole.

There seems to be nothing wrong with the idea.

"The temperature is too high and the drill can't withstand it." said Li Xiaomiao.

Although the material of the drill and forged steel hammer heads is slightly different from the steel ingot, the tools will be melted away after prolonged contact.

"The main problem is the speed." Li Yin took out the paper and pen she carried with her and drew a picture: "Make a simple drilling machine."

Without electric power to start the engine, we can only use gears to amplify human power, which is not a problem.

From morning till evening, everyone kept modifying the drilling machine. Those who were supposed to go off work chose to stay. It was not until the last time, when they were able to drill more than ten centimeters per second, that they stopped to modify.

However, the wall of the drilled steel pipe was still a bit thick, so Li Yin asked a group of people to make a core rod using pig iron.

Then find a way to stretch the steel pipe so that the pipe wall can become thinner.

The group worked hard for half the night before finally producing a satisfactory finished product.
