Li You's scream broke through the sky. Fortunately, the system explained it clearly at this time.
"Master, please calm down. This book,'How Steel Is Tempered,' is not a famous foreign book. It is just like its name, describing many methods of refining steel.”
Li You immediately shut up, as if nothing had happened.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, how are you?”
A palace maid had already heard the noise and came over. Li You was calm and composed."Nothing, I'm just practicing my voice."
The palace maid was speechless.
After sending the palace maid away, Li You's eyes lit up.
"The various methods of refining steel. This is good stuff!”
If he could refine steel that surpassed this era, it would be a great killing weapon. For example, if he could use it to make an iron pot, he would definitely be able to cook many delicacies that were not available in this era. Or, for example, to make armor. Armor that surpassed the hardness of all weapons in this era would be invulnerable!
Other than that, he could also sell iron products for profit, or create divine weapons…weren't those Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber harder and sharper than other weapons? In the future, we'll wholesale Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber here!
"Haha, looks like this lottery is not bad.”
The more Li You thought about it, the happier he became. He strode towards the Ministry of Works.
"It just so happens that my father asked the Ministry of Works to cooperate with me in making horseshoes. In other words, it's not impossible for me to use this authority to make some private goods.”
Li You couldn't help but smile as he hurried to the entrance of the Ministry of Works.
The fat Minister of Works was already smiling at the door.
"Your Highness, I'm the Minister of Works, Duan Lun. I've already received His Majesty's decree to fully cooperate with Your Highness in forging the horseshoes.”
Speaking of Duan Lun, he was also considered a celebrity. He was the son of the Minister of War of the Sui Dynasty, Duan Wenzhen. At the same time, he was also the son-in-law of Tang Gaozu, Li Yuan, and married Princess Gaomi.
Li You nodded." Alright, then let's not delay any longer. Let's begin."”
With that, he led the way in.
Duan Lun quickly followed him in and asked carefully,""I just don't know what the horseshoes you're talking about are.”
" Well…it's a long story," Li You said." In short, you just need to cooperate with me and listen to my commands."”
Before forging the horseshoes, Li You planned to make what he wanted first.
Otherwise, if he made horseshoes too early, it would be difficult for Li You to use chicken feathers as an arrow in the future.
"Yes, I'll definitely do as you say."
Duan Lun replied with a smile, but a trace of disdain flashed across his heart.
Who knew what kind of madness had gone through His Highness Chu to insist on forging something that he had never heard of before, but it had even received the Emperor's appreciation.
Forget about that, but now he was even saying that he had to listen to everything. Did he really think that what the Minister of Works did not have any technical content?
In Duan Lun's opinion, Li You, who had been living in luxury since he was young, did not know what to make. At most, he was just blindly commanding.
Duan Lun couldn't be blamed for this. After all, Li You was rumored to be fond of hunting and making friends with villains. He had never heard of any outstanding talents.
"However, many of the things manufactured by the Ministry of Works are for the military. The quality…really can't be sloppy.”
After thinking for a while, Duan Lun still wanted to give him a warning.
If he were to create a useless thing, he might even be blamed.
"I know that. The Armament Superintendent has been abolished, so the Ministry of Works is basically taking over the work of the Armament Superintendent.”
Li You didn't care at all. Duan Lun's face twitched when he heard that.
This King Chu was indeed arrogant and did not understand the meaning behind his words!
Feeling slightly bitter, Duan Lun brought Li You to the forging area.
Before he even got close, a fiery heat spread through the air. Several burly men were shirtless and forging iron beside the furnace in full swing.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
The booming sound was endless. Li You covered his ears and went in. He said loudly,"Everyone, stop for a moment! Who is the best craftsman here?”
The burly men stopped and looked at each other. Then, they looked at a strong old man behind them.
"This old man is the best craftsman here.”
The old man walked out and looked at Li You in confusion."May I know who you are?"
" This is His Highness, King Chu," Duan Lun introduced.”
"So it's His Highness King Chu! Sorry for being rude!"
The old man was shocked and quickly knelt down to salute. Li You waved his hand and said,"There's no need to be so polite, old man. How should I address you?”
"Your Highness, just call me Old Hu."”
Li You nodded." Alright, Old Hu. You'll be working for me in the future. Follow me."”
As he spoke, Li You led the way to the table outside, leaving only a group of burly men to look at each other.
" It's actually His Highness King Chu?"
"Why would a noble person like Your Highness come to a place like ours?”
"I wonder what Your Highness is here for?”
In their opinion, the royal family and them were simply people from two different worlds. They really did not know why Li You was so bored that he came over.
On Li You's side, after bringing Old Hu over, he sent someone to get a pen and paper.
At the same time, Li You asked in his heart,'System, how do I use' How Is Steel Tempered?'”
"Master, just use it silently."
Li You muttered to himself. Suddenly, his head seemed to explode with a bang, and countless new knowledge surged into it!
"This…I've become a master of smelting theory all of a sudden?”
Li You was a little dizzy. After sorting out the memories in his mind, he began to write the beginning.
"The forging method of the steel."
Steel was a name for patterned steel, but it was not limited to patterned steel. However, Li You did choose the refining method of patterned steel and wrote it down.
In ancient China, patterned steel was also known as " Wen Tie " or " Hua Tie ". Although there was a bronze version of patterned steel in China, there was no iron version of patterned steel.
And just as Li You had imagined, steel was a material specially used to forge treasured swords and sabers. It was not an exaggeration to say that the weapons made from it were indestructible!
