"Mr. Zhongde, you are finally back!" A few days later, Cheng Yu and Dian Wei returned to Xiangping City.

"Haha, I am worried about it! I am very honored. Yu's trip is worthy of his lord's entrustedness and successfully obtained the imperial edict from His Majesty, and he named the lord the Marquis of Liaodong. In addition, I also asked for a handwritten letter from Mr. Bo Yi!" Cheng Yu handed the five big words written by Zhao Feng and Cai Yong himself - "The No. 1 Paper in the World"!

This time, Cheng Yu and his party not only gained a double harvest of fame and wealth for Zhao Feng, but also invited Cai Yong's calligraphy, which is a very famous Feibai style in later generations! The five big words "The No. 1 Paper in the World" are written in a flying and flying manner, elegant and lively manner!

Lord, this is a letter brought by the mistress’s order. Cheng Yu received a letter to present it to Zhao Feng.

Zhao Feng opened it and saw that there were no gorgeous poems and articles written on it, only a simple sentence: Brother Zihu, Yan'er misses you!

"This girl!" Zhao Feng couldn't help laughing when he thought of Cai Yan's appearance.

"Zhongde, since we have His Majesty's imperial edict and father-in-law's handwritten letters, our paper can also be sold!" Zhao Feng said.

"I wonder how much the price should be set at?" Cheng Yu asked.

"During the time you went to Luoyang, I have improved the papermaking method and improved it. It saved a lot of money compared to when you left. Now about ten pieces of paper can cost one. Now, Cai Hou paper has sold 10 yuan per piece. We must be cheaper than him, but it can't be much cheaper. It's better to set it at 8 yuan per piece!" Zhao Feng thought for a while and said.

"Okay, with Mr. Cai's handwritten books, I believe that our paper will definitely sell well among students!" Cheng Yu said.

"Not only students, but also all the officials, tyrants and evil gentry will definitely rush to buy our paper. Remember, it is the last hunger marketing strategy! That will make us gain more profits!" Zhao Feng said.

"Well, this minister knows!" Cheng Yu nodded.

"This matter is fully handed over to Mr. Yu Zhongde to operate! I feel at ease with Mr. Cheng Yu!" Zhao Feng said.

"Yes, I must do my best!" Cheng Yu bowed.

"Well, go, Shanjun, stay!" Zhao Feng waved his hand.

"I'm asking for my leave!" Cheng Yu left the room.

"Shanjun, when the army returns, you will select the best among the best in the army and select a thousand people as the guard battalion!" Zhao Feng said, "The guard battalion must have the best equipment, the strongest force, and the most rigorous training! I want to build these thousand people into a powerful brigade and an enemy's nightmare!"

"Yes, lord!" Dian Wei said excitedly, "I will definitely practice them well!"

"Mr. Shan! Come with me!" After that, Zhao Feng got up and left the house.

Dian Wei was confused, but he didn't think much about it and immediately followed!

One by one, the two went straight to the largest blacksmith shop in the city.

During this expedition to Wuhuan, Zhao Feng realized a very serious problem, that is, weapons! Not to mention ordinary soldiers, just like these generals, in addition to Zhao Feng and Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei was holding a tattered spear, while Guan Yu was holding an old machete. How can this work? When fighting against generals in the future, how can they fight against other generals?

Let’s talk about ordinary soldiers. The weapons are of varying quality. Some soldiers without weapons have better swords and shields. Basically, they are equipped with all swords and shields. The spearmen are miserable. The number of spears is also quite large, but they are not as large as the number of spears. Some spearmen without spears are used to sharpen the wooden sticks as their weapons! The archers are even more pitiful, with few arrow branches and a bunch of arrow branches without arrows. Even Zhao Feng himself was helpless. How could he kill the enemy in this way? Seeing that the Yellow Turban Rebellion was coming, how could he defeat the Yellow Turban Army with such equipment?

So, as soon as he was free, Zhao Feng thought about how to make weapons.

If you want to make good weapons, the first problem to solve is iron! What is the most important thing in smelting iron? Of course, it is raw materials and temperature! Where does the raw materials come from? All the weapons are melted? That is not enough! And temperature? What should I do? Fortunately, people had already started to use coal at the end of the Han Dynasty. People in Liaodong are all familiar with this! So Zhao Feng sent a special person to explore and mine the iron ore and coal locations displayed in the system! I think that a large number of iron ore and coal will be mined soon!

In the late Han Dynasty, the blacksmith's status was low and his income was barely enough to maintain a foothold. Zhao Feng came to each of the largest blacksmith shops in Xiangping City and bought the store for a very small amount of money, leaving only 10% of the shares of the blacksmith shop owner.

Immediately, Zhao Feng ordered people to melt all the remaining iron in the arsenal, and then used the "steel filling method" invented during the Southern and Northern Dynasties to refine the best steel.

Of course, Master Wang, the blacksmith foreman here, is skeptical about Zhao Feng's approach. He can only produce good steel after he tries every time. This is what the ancestors left behind. Like Zhao Feng, mixing the pig iron into steel is too simple, right?

Under the guidance of Zhao Feng, Master Wang built a simple blast furnace with corundum, silicon sand, square stone and other high-temperature resistant materials at that time, and then used a reciprocating bellows to make the wind power input at one time greater at one time and greatly improve the efficiency of work.

Now, everything is ready, only steel is needed! Zhao Feng smiled confidently, waiting for the final result.

"Oh my God! It's really molten steel! Great molten steel!" After the first molten iron of the small blast furnace came out, Master Wang shouted excitedly. He really didn't expect that such a simple method could achieve the effect of producing a large amount of steel! If this continues to operate, then his blacksmith shop will undoubtedly be the first blacksmith shop in the great man!

The other guys in the blacksmith shop even knelt down at Zhao Feng and bowed to him!

"Mr. Shan, send troops to garrison immediately to prevent someone from stealing his troops!" Zhao Fengdao.

"Yes! Lord!" Dian Wei received the order.

"And you, during this period, let's live in this blacksmith shop first, don't go out first! Don't contact outsiders!" Zhao Feng said.

Just kidding, what a terrible thing it would be if this simple and easy method is leaked!
