Jincheng is located more than a hundred miles southeast of Danliangcheng, located in a small valley. It is the new metallurgical base of Xixia. It is the place with the highest technological content in this era. It has the most advanced metallurgical technology and high-tech products at present. Therefore, it is also one of the places with the strictest defense in Xixia.

On that day, Li Liangzuo did not say hello to anyone and rushed to Jincheng with more than a hundred cavalry. This was a surprise inspection by Li Liangzuo. Li Liangzuo wanted to see what was going on in Jincheng. This was also the first time Li Liangzuo arrived in Jincheng.

"People outside the city dismount immediately, otherwise we will shoot arrows." The defenders on the city tower pointed at Li Liangzuo and his group with bows and arrows.

Xiao Fuzi was furious when he saw this situation: "Bastard, your majesty is here to welcome him."

"Do you have a token? Lord Jin ordered no one without a token to enter." The sergeant guarding the city shouted at Li Liangzuo.

Li Liangzuo said to the sergeant loudly: "I did not bring the token when I was waiting in a hurry. Please let the sergeant go for a convenience and let us in!"

The soldier said righteously: "No, if I let you in today, my head will fall to the ground the next moment. I would like to advise you to leave quickly! Otherwise, you will be taken into prison as spies."

Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "This general, I am close friends with your Lord Jin. Please let us in. If you let me in, I will give you a hundred taels of gold."

"Shoot the arrow..." The soldier immediately ordered when he heard Li Liangzuo's words; then he said to the soldiers around him: "Go and report to Lord Jin, just say there are spies outside the city."

"yes……"

When Li Liangzuo saw that an arrow was fired on the city tower, he immediately pulled his horse back. This time, not only scared Li Liangzuo but also scared Xiao Fuzi and the guards. Li Liangzuo retreated outside the arrow and dismounted and sat on the ground laughing, "I really didn't expect that one day he would almost get his army to reimburse him."

"Your Majesty, you still have the heart to laugh! You were almost shot just now. If you have any accidents, the elders of the capital will not be able to eat the slaves!" Xiao Fuzi complained.

Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "Sit down and rest for a while! Jin Shoucheng will come out to pick us up soon."

This time, Li Liangzuo was really wrong. When the soldiers went to find Jin Shoucheng, Jin Shoucheng was making a new type of crossbow in the room, and at the same time ordered no one to disturb him. The soldiers could only tell the soldiers guarding the city that they were alone waiting outside the door. This made Li Liangzuo and the others suffer.

It took only half a day from the stall of food to Li Liangzuo, a quick horse whipping in Jincheng, so Li Liangzuo and the others didn't bring any food. It took only two hours to wait outside. Li Liangzuo's stomach was already so hungry that he was whining, but there was no way for Li Liangzuo to not bring a token!

When Kim Shoucheng came out of the room, it was already two hours later. When Kim Shoucheng heard that there were spies outside, he ran to the city tower without caring about rest. At this time, Li Liangzuo was lying on the grass outside the city basking in the sun! Others didn't know Lee Liangzuo, but Kim Shoucheng could know that although it was far apart, Kim Shoucheng recognized the guards defending Lee Liangzuo at a glance.

So Jin Shoucheng led his men to climb out of the city. After coming to Li Liangzuo, Jin Shoucheng immediately knelt on the ground and said, "My minister, Jin Shoucheng, pays homage to Your Majesty. I welcome you to me and I hope Your Majesty will be punished."

Li Liangzuo had a sarcastic sarcasm to his subordinates and said that he would enter the city soon, but this wait took only two hours, which made Li Liangzuo very embarrassed, so he made things difficult for Jin Shoucheng and said, "Oh! It's Lord Jin, I dare not treat you as such a big tribute! Get up quickly, get up quickly..."

When Jin Shoucheng heard this, he didn't dare to get up. He knelt on the ground and trembled. He almost cried and said, "I am blocking Your Majesty outside the city. Is it a death sentence. Please punish Your Majesty."

"Okay, get up!" Li Liangzuo said angrily; "Where is the soldier who blocked me outside the door! Come find him."

The soldier knelt in front of Li Liangzuo and said, "I will pay homage to Your Majesty."

"What crime should I be punished to keep me outside the door? Do you know?" Li Liangzuo asked the soldiers.

The soldier said righteously: "According to the death penalty, the nine clans should be destroyed according to the "Tiansheng Law"."

"Okay, since you know that I am the emperor this time, what would you do if I have to enter the city without a token next time?" Li Liangzuo asked with sharp eyes.

The sergeant did not stop at all and replied toughly: "Like this time, stop His Majesty outside the city."

Li Liangzuo said angrily: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"The last general is afraid of death." said the soldier; "The last general begs His Majesty to punish his ministers for one crime, and they are only acting under the orders of the last general."

"What's your name?" Li Liangzuo continued to ask.

The soldier replied toughly: "Last general Zheng Hao, please give him guilty."

Li Liangzuo stood in front of Zheng Hao and issued an order: "Zheng Hao obeyed the order, and I appointed Zheng Hao as the lieutenant of the Dianjun Academy. I was directly under my personal guard camp and was responsible for protecting Jincheng."

Zheng Hao was stunned for a moment, and Kim Shousung kicked Zheng Hao and said, "Zheng Hao, why don't you thank Your Majesty for your grace."

Zheng Hao then reacted and immediately kowtowed and thanked him: "I thank Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Li Liangzuo laughed and said, "Get up! Remember that no one, including me, will not enter the city without a token in the future. If someone goes in, I will punish you for both crimes and chop you down on the spot."

"Yes, I'm going to accept the order." Zheng Hao took over the military order.

Li Liangzuo said with great satisfaction: "It seems that I have not come in vain this time! Entering the city, let me see what this Jincheng looks like?"

After entering Jincheng, Jin Shoucheng originally wanted Li Liangzuo to have dinner first, but Li Liangzuo did not agree, but asked to inspect various workshops. First of all, Li Liangzuo came to the workshop for blast furnace steelmaking. The blast furnace was built according to Li Liangzuo's requirements. There was a large blower next to the blast furnace. Li Liangzuo was ecstatic when he saw this blower.

Because this blower is very different from the bellows of this era, one of the important reasons why Xixia was able to make solid cold forged armor was that there were double wooden bellows, and the one placed in front of Li Liangzuo no longer belonged to the bellows, but a large blower. The difference is that this blower is powered by people.

"Your Majesty, this is a new bellows made by Weichen. People use people to pedal the carousel to drive the carousel through iron chains. The carousel is connected to the bearing to power the fan. This is the same principle as Your Majesty's bicycle; with this new bellows, you can greatly save manpower." Jin Shoucheng wanted to see Li Liangzuo.

After leaving the steelmaking workshop, Li Liangzuo came to the cold forging workshop. Here, Li Liangzuo once again saw an advanced cold forging machine; it turned out that the cold forging pieces of Western Xia were all made by blacksmiths with hammers. This was not only time-consuming and laborious to build, but also the reason why there were few cavalrymen with heavy armor.

But the situation is different now. Although most of the cold forging machinery that Li Liangzuo saw is still made of wood, it is a mechanical device like a blower, and the power of this device is still human. This cold forging machinery is similar to the ancient stone pestle that pounded rice. The difference is that the stone pestle is used to pound rice, but it is used to smash armor pieces.

This cold forging machine also uses a foot-pedal wheel disc, which is different from the blower's foot-pedal wheel disc. This wheel is connected to a foot-pedal log, which can provide power to three people. The foot-pedal wheel drives another wheel through a chain, and the wheel is connected to it is a large wooden gear.
