In just a few days, these guys are not like humans or ghosts. Apart from the long gowns used as mats on their shoulders, there is no sign of identifying their identities.

If you work for a few more months, the bones of your hands may deform and you will never be able to write good-looking small calligraphy.

"The word is quite barely."

Ye Hua said indifferently: "Yu Weng, they are serious scholars. You have to take good care of them and don't waste good seedlings."

The mute man was startled and hurriedly said, "Marty, those who can study are all precious lives. They shouldn't do rough work, they shouldn't!"

Ye Hua smiled slightly, and pointed at the little man, "How long have you been in the capital? Have you ever had a place to settle down? How can you live?"

The little man didn't want to answer. If he was given the right to choose, he would rather fight Ye Hua!

But now he didn't dare. From morning to now, he only ate one hard cake. The sour water in his stomach gushed and kept spasming and twitching, making his face green.

"My name is Li Shan. I went to Beijing for study two years ago and lived in Daxiangguo Temple. I usually send some money at home..." A very big man, and he leaned on his home, was embarrassing to say it.

Li Shan held back his tears. He wanted to take the imperial examination, enter the official career, and glorify his ancestors. But his studies were not so good and he was not sure, so he wanted to take some wrong paths. If he was beaten because of the affairs of Saint Kong, he would become famous all at once! He had everything!

Who knew that he had not become famous and became a coolie. His life was too hard!

The situations of the other few people are almost the same.

Ye Hua smiled, "Do you know this mute man? He has worked in the workshop for more than a year. In terms of salary and bonus, he has already sold more than 3,000 yuan. He bought a shop and two houses in Beijing."

As the top craftsman in the workshop, the income of the mute man will definitely make many officials dumbfounded and feel ashamed.

"That... Marquis, there are three houses, three houses." The old man's voice was not high, which made Li Shan's chin drop!

He knew exactly how expensive the houses in the capital were.

Not to mention buying a house, you can't afford to rent it even if you rent it.

He ran to Daxiangguo Temple to stay there, and that was impossible.

Who would have thought that a small craftsman actually had a shop and three houses. Is it still reasonable? Looking at their stupid look, Ye Hua sneered slightly, "I am not embarrassed by you. Although I am a guilty person, as long as I have learned my skills, contributed to the workshop, and lost my merits, you can still go out in the future. If you want to get a Jinshi, you will be promoted and made a fortune, no one will stop you!"

After saying that, Ye Hua turned around and left.

The mute man stared at Ye Hua's back, nodded, and praised: "The Marquis is a knife-like mouth and a slander, a rare kind man!"

Li Shan and the others were speechless. Ye Hua's heart was not tofu, it was even more terrifying than iron stone! But when he saw the appearance of the mute Weng Jingruo, he didn't dare to say anything more.

I could only follow him obediently, and the mute man took them to his dormitory.

In the workshop, Yaweng's dormitory has two rooms inside and outside, and a large bathtub. When he is tired of working every day, he can soak in a hot bath to remove dust and fatigue. A craftsman actually enjoys his life.

The mute asked Li Shan and a few to clean it. He turned around and left. After a while, the mute brought several sets of workers' coarse cloth shorts and a basket of meat steamed buns.

"The rest in the morning is a little cold. Do you need to heat it up?" said the silence.

These guys are really crying, why are you still hot? Some of them are good to eat!

Li Shan reached out and grabbed two, stuffed them into his mouth with big mouthfuls. The other ones were like evil spirits. The soft dough and plump meat filling were simply the most delicious food in the world, so delicious that they were crying!

Not long after, a whole basket was eaten clean. Li Shan's belly was obviously bulging, like a ball, with skinny ribs and protruding ribs, which looked very funny.

The mute man poured each of them a cup of tea.

When Li Shan took the water cup, his throat was itchy and he blurted out, "Thank you!"

He never thought that it would be incredible that a person who reads the books of sages and is determined to take the imperial examinations and honors his ancestors would actually thank a craftsman!

Li Shan's face was a little feverish, and he lowered his head silently.

After a while, they all had enough food and drink, and became energetic. They changed into craftsmen's clothes, followed the mute man into the interior of the workshop... Only then did Li Shan realize that they had been moving coal for several days and had been wandering outside the workshop, and they didn't even see the contents inside.

After entering, they felt the grandeur and even terrifying of this workshop!

A blast furnace that is more than one person tall can feel the hot temperature when it is far away.

The whistling bellows, the bright fire, the naked back and the hot sweat craftsman became the most conspicuous signs of the workshop. Li Shan touched his mouth, but it was not easy for the craftsmen to earn a lot. He even felt that it was not appropriate to regard the craftsmen as a cheap business... Look, indeed, his butt changed and his head changed.

The mute man looked at the blast furnace room and hurried into the steelmaking room.

They have tried it many times before, and there is a key technology that must be broken through!

Before Ye Hua went to the Southern Tang Dynasty, he mentioned to the craftsmen that it had been almost a year since he could not make a breakthrough. He really felt sorry for the Marquis’s kindness!

A few months ago, they found a very large graphite mine in Laiyang County. With natural graphite and clay, they got the crucible.

After having the crucible, the craftsmen began to study the process of crucible steelmaking.

The biggest problem with using crucible steelmaking is the temperature. How to obtain a high temperature of 1,600 degrees is a very difficult thing.

Fortunately, at the beginning of the workshop construction, a hydro-driven bellows were installed, which could greatly increase the furnace temperature.

Later, coke was developed. With these two as the basis, the craftsmen also gained confidence!

But despite this, they failed 6 times!

Some of the crucibles were burnt out, while others were the molten steel that was made was unqualified. Every failure meant huge consumption. Ye Hua was always tolerant of the experiment and he was not stingy in spending, but the mute and the others couldn't do it!

The Marquis treats him so well, but he still can't do it. How can he have the face to face the Marquis!

Anyway, this time it will be successful!

They first put the wood and coke into the stove, pre-lit it, heat the stove, wait until the stove gets hot, then put the crucible in, and then add small pieces of iron and some quicklime.

Next is the vigorous blowing and continuous heating.

The crucible is like a hot little sun, emitting a hot temperature. Li Shan only felt that the pores in his body were opened, and the water in his body was constantly evaporated. If this continues, he may turn into human jerky.

But it is obvious that those craftsmen have much better patience than them.

The silence said, "Remember all the process you have seen. Remember, use what you usually say and don't use words you can't understand!"

Li Shan obediently agreed, and they put a piece of wooden board on their legs, laid paper, and picked up a pen to record.

The mute man looked around from time to time to ensure that the records were correct.

Gradually, a pot of iron was turned into water. Yaweng knew that the most critical moment was coming, so he asked the craftsmen to increase the wind blowing force. He held the long iron rod and stirred the iron himself.

The hot air breathed into the lungs, as if it was about to get stuck all over.

But the Yaweng didn't care at all, and he only had this pot of iron in his eyes.

He found that many impurities were floating on the iron, and immediately called for help. At this time, a strong big man came over with a long-handled iron spoon and took out the impurities. He and the mute man stared at the red iron.

"Yanweng, it's time to add iron ore powder!"

"Yeah! That's right, you must be even and carefully!"

"clear!"

The strong man added fine iron ore powder to the crucible, and the mute and several craftsmen stirred together. Each time he added, a bright white flame would rush up.

The mute man's face was illuminated brighter and brighter!

He could feel the difference between molten iron and he would definitely succeed this time!

"Bellbox, bellbox!"

The silence of the slutty voice sounded again, and the craftsmen who controlled the bellows worked together. Under the combined action of hydraulic and human power, the fire became more and more fierce, and the dregs in the crucible became less and less...

"It's done!"

The mute man roared, and the craftsmen carefully poured the bright red iron into the abrasive tools prepared in advance. The next step was to wait. Whether the steel could be refined depends on this time!

The mute man and other craftsmen were all sank on the ground, not even able to speak.

Li Shan and others were quite sensible, so they quickly called Qingshui and poured it into the mute man. Finally, they recovered some physical strength. The mute man took the content recorded by Li Shan and others and stuffed it to the strong man.

"Look at it!"

The man took it and was startled, "I have worked hard with the foundation of the Two Kings! Ye Hua's ability is getting bigger and bigger. Even scholars come to be apprentices. It's amazing!"

Li Shan really wanted to say that they were arrested because they had no choice but to be arrested, and they were not willing to do so.

But what surprised them even more was the tone of this man's speech. Others respectfully called Ye Hua the Marquis, and only he called him the name directly, and the others seemed to be natural. Who is he?
