Whether a country's smelting technology is strong is directly related to whether the country's military armor is sharp enough and whether the mechanical equipment is durable.

Smelting technology often symbolizes a country's science and technology and is a top priority. Smelting technology is also constantly improved by outstanding figures due to social progress and social needs. It transitions from the initial Bronze Age to the Iron Age, and then from the Iron Age to the Steel Age.

After the development of the smelting technology, the smelting technology of steelmaking, and the development of steelmaking methods, it had evolved into a more sophisticated steel filling method by the Southern and Northern Dynasties, which greatly increased the output of steel to meet the needs of the time and the needs of society.

By the Tang Dynasty, steel had become widely popular. Most blacksmiths could master the steel filling method, which greatly improved the output of steel. However, the new smelting method has not been innovated, and the steel filling method was still improved by Qi Wuhuaiwen, Northern Qi.

Because the early Tang Dynasty was in chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population was sharply reduced, and the output of iron was not as good as before. When steel smelting technology was not improved, some steel was in short supply. Especially Li Shimin was ambitious and had the ambition of Qin and Wu of Han, and lacked fine weapons and armor forged by steel. Most of the steel in the Tang Dynasty was used on Tang swords to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Tang army, but not many people truly popularized and benefited the people.

If the smelting technology can be improved again, the steel output can be greatly increased with limited iron production, which will be able to produce many good steel weapons for the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time it can benefit the people, allowing steel to bring convenience to the people and improve the quality of each aspect.

This technological reform is a good thing that benefits the country and the people!

Faced with the news brought by Changsun Wuji, Li Shimin stood up in a state of emotion: "Great, Auxiliary Machinery, who is this craftsman, and whose surname is? I was eager to meet him. When this person arrived in Chang'an, he immediately attracted him to me. I want to meet him in person..."

"Yes!" Changsun Wuji responded first, and then said, "The craftsman is from Ezhou, Jingnan. His surname is Yang and his name is Yan. He is a local blacksmith. His ancestral craftsmanship has been passed down from generation to generation. It has been hundreds of years. He gathered the experience of his ancestors and improved the smelting technology. The governor of Ezhou knew about this and submitted the Ministry of Personnel to recommend him to the court. This was two years ago. At that time, the Minister of Rites felt that the other party was not very vulgar and had rejected the proposal. I also discovered it when I was sorting out the old official documents, so I specially sent someone to Ezhou to investigate and confirm that the matter was true. Then I reported to Your Majesty."

"Damn it! Yang Gongren is a stubborn, corrupt scholar and ignorant child, and he should be killed!" Li Shimin was so angry that he cursed and finally calmed down, saying, "It's also a blessing for the meticulous and meticulous assistant, otherwise I, the Tang Dynasty, would have missed a great talent. You can send more people to guard to avoid going on business trips, and let the inns along the way be treated as third-rank officials."

Li Shimin never cared about anything outside his body when it comes to talents.

Changsun Wuji nodded to show that he understood.

"There are also many envoys from other countries around us who have come to the Tang Dynasty recently. The diplomatic staff of the Ministry of Rites may be insufficient. You can make appropriate changes in positions to avoid unnecessary recruitment. This is left to you. I am not at ease to leave it to Pei Ji. Xiao Yu is too rigid and does not have your smooth work." Li Shimin carefully ordered that since the Tang Dynasty destroyed the Turks, its international status in Asia has become different now. No one dares to underestimate the rising Tang Dynasty. When learning that the new Emperor of the Tang Dynasty came to congratulate him, the foreign races who came to congratulate him one after another. Especially the tribes of the grassland, they once again jointly recommended the Tang emperor who trusted him as Tian Khan, interfering in the internal affairs of the grassland tribe in the name of Tian Khan.

Changsun Wuji happily accepted the order again.

Luo Shixin was very careful about the affairs of the Ministry of Justice. He hated corrupt officials and was never tolerant of corrupt officials, especially those who bully the people by relying on their power.

With the layoffs, he inspires the style of officials from all over the Ministry of Justice to do practical things, and changes the atmosphere in Chang'an.

As the Ministry of Justice was staring at it like a vicious dog, the crime rate was greatly reduced.

There are fewer things you can do in your hands every day.

Luo Shixin was afraid of trouble. He was able to lift his spirits when facing major events, but he lacked the patience to deal with chores and trivial matters one by one. He turned around and threw them to Ma Zhou and Liu Yanke, and asked them to take a look after it after they were handled.

I slept boredly in the Ministry of Justice for an afternoon before I returned to the mansion weakly: I slept enough, but instead felt a sense of impatience and dizziness.

When I returned to the mansion, I knocked on the door and saw that it was Luo Shixin's concierge manager and immediately reported: "Sir, an old friend named Li Yuncong is here to find you, and Uncle Fu is accompanying him to talk in the reception room."

Generally, people with status and status look at their own homes very closely. They don’t let them in easily. If you have something to look for, they will submit a message to the doorman before they can be notified to the guests. Luo Shixin was very disgusted with this rule and issued a special order. Anyone who is looking for him, regardless of his status, will be welcomed into the living room for tea. It’s not that there is no shortage of this little money for tea, why should he turn people away?

If you can't find old friends who have been visiting for many years or some hero, will you turn them out? Wouldn't it be a heartbreaking thing?

Even if there are people who are fishing for trouble, they have the courage to touch this fish in Luo Shixin's mansion. What's the point of calling him?

Because of this, Luo Shixin's name of hospitality is also famous in Chang'an.

So even if Luo Shixin and Pingyang were not at the mansion, and if there were guests, the manager of Luo's mansion still enthusiastically introduced him to the reception room for entertainment.

When Luo Shixin heard that it was Li Yuncong, he immediately laughed and strode towards the living room.

Walking into the living room, Li Yuncong sat calmly, opposite him and above were Pei Qingyi and Zheng Liwan.

Luo Shixin and Pingyang went out to work, and Zheng Liwan and Pei Qingyi were left in the mansion. They played the piano and danced the sword. The sound of the piano was excellent, and the sword dance was even more unhappy.

I heard that there were guests coming, and Zheng Liwan originally wanted to say hello a little. Pei Qingyi and Luo Shixin went to Changbai Mountain to save Pingyang to find Sun Simiao. They had contact with Li Yuncong and were considered old friends. People in the martial arts world are particularly open-minded in making friends, so they also went there, chatting with each other, and it was difficult for Zheng Liwan to leave here.

This made Li Yuncong suffer. He talked to two beautiful and beautiful women, and he didn't dare to move his eyes a little, and he didn't dare to raise his eyes. When Luo Shixin arrived, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Yuncong, it's been a long time since we met!" Luo Shixin stepped forward affectionately and gave him a tiger hug.

In recent years, Goguryeo has had an internal turmoil. The powerful minister Yuan Gaisuwen and Goguryeo Rongliu King have no intention of paying attention to Zuo Tiancheng and the Sui Dynasty "remnants" on Changbai Mountain. This backer eats the mountains, and the treasures of Changbai Mountain are everywhere. As half of the owners of Changbai Mountain, the precious medicinal leather in their hands are all popular products in the Central Plains.

Even if Goguryeo stipulates that such profit-making wealth is not allowed to trade with Zuo Tiancheng and others, there are still countless merchants who dare to take risks.

Li Yuncong deals with sankepike medicinal materials merchants who traveled between the north and the south for many years on Changbai Mountain, and from time to time he would ask about the weather in the Central Plains. They were familiar with the entire Tang Dynasty, so they were only Luo Shixin, so they should be based on his news. Luo Shixin is now famous and famous, and with just a little inquiry, you can know his current situation.

Seeing that Luo Shixin's status was still the same as before, without any style, Li Yuncong was amazed and hugged him enthusiastically: "I have been hunting in the mountains these years and encountered a huge white bear. It is much stronger than the one you hit, so I will keep it for you."

"That's great!" Luo Shixin asked him to sit down and said happily: "If you have the chance, you will definitely go to Changbai Mountain again. When you hear this news, your hands will itch."

When Zheng Liwan and Pei Qingyi saw that Luo Shixin had arrived, they stopped accompanying each other and gave the space to the big men.

Watching the two left, Luo Shixin smiled and said, "It's rare for you to come to Chang'an, don't rush to leave. I'll take you to have a good time and introduce a few friends to you. It's rare to meet, so you have to drink it." Then he called the servants and asked him to deliver good wine and food.

Seeing Luo Shixin so enthusiastic, Li Yuncong hurriedly said, "I am here to Chang'an, and I will carry the burden. I will drink with you wine, but I cannot overdo it. When I return, I will also shoulder the burden of protecting the Silla Princess."

Luo Shixin looked at Li Yuncong in shock.

Li Yuncong said: "When rescued Uncle Zuo, the two princes of Silla were also helpful, and the two sides had exchanges. At that time, Brother Shixin killed Goguryeo's military god Otsuki Wende, which angered Goguryeo. King Rongliu of Goguryeo blocked Changbai Mountain in anger, intending to incite Goguryeo people to avenge their military gods. At that time, the people of Goguryeo were surging, and our lives were not easy on the mountain. It was Silla who supported us and helped us overcome the difficulties. My uncle knew that they were kindness and asking for rewards. But we had no choice at that time. We had been together happily over the years. Now they have something to ask for us, and hope that we can help them escort Goguryeo safely and send them to Chang'an to pay homage. Naturally, we were not willing to refuse."

Luo Shixin was far away in the Central Plains and was not sure about the situation of the three northeastern countries. He couldn't help but curiously said: "As the second largest country in Northeastern countries, I came to see you in the Tang Dynasty, and I actually need your escort?"

Li Yuncong shook his head and said, "This is my uncle. Silla has not had a good time in recent years. The Tang Dynasty rose in the Central Plains and its power was even more powerful in the past Sui Dynasty. Goguryeo had already made the intention to defend Liaodong, and changed its strategy to no longer expand westward, but competed for the Han River with Silla. Baekje, who had always been at peace, was not willing to be lonely and formed an alliance with Goguryeo to deal with Silla. Even the Yamato Island country with southeastern Baekje also sent troops to help Baekje attack Silla. Silla was attacked by many enemies, and almost all the roads to the Tang Dynasty were blocked." r1152
