The next day, Ren Baqian got up and washed up and started to pack up his things. After all the things were ready, he went to see the empress first.

This time the place is no longer the Hall of Yangxin, but the Hall of Golden Palace. This is the first time Ren Baqian has been here.

When he arrived, the empress sat upright on the golden chair at the top, and there were already several people standing inside below.

"I have seen Your Majesty." After Ren Baqian greeted him, he stood aside and looked at the other people. One of them was a big man wearing iron armor, holding a helmet in his hands, and a feather on the helmet. His skin was bronze, and he looked like he was in his thirties, and he was a sixth-rank military officer.

There were two others, one of whom was in his forties and had a lot of beards, and he was scrutinizing Ren Baqian with his eyes.

There is also a man who is over thirty years old and is slightly thinner than the ancient tribe, but he is considered a big man compared to Ren Baqian.

The former is from the third-rank official uniform, while the latter is from the fifth-rank official uniform.

"Ren Baqian!" The empress's cold voice came from above.

"I am here." Ren Baqian quickly took a few steps to face the empress.

"The Qingxin Palace lecturer Ren Baqian was quite talented and loyal. He was promoted to the Chief of the Central Imperial Palace. At this point, he took office immediately."

Ren Baqian was stunned for a moment, then knelt on one knee: "Thank you Your Majesty."

I was a little confused. I was promoted directly within two minutes after I came in. Moreover, I was promoted from the eighth grade to the fifth grade Zhongyu Mansion Chief, which was faster than riding on a rocket.

It has been less than three months since Ren Baqian arrived in this world, and he has been walking the path that others have taken for the rest of their lives.

Even if it is a great contribution, it is difficult for ordinary officials and generals to be promoted so quickly.

However, there were no surprises for the other three.

After all, everyone knows this person's identity. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the prince in the future, and his current official position is just a transition.

What's more, Your Majesty promoted him to the Chief of the Central Imperial Palace, which is in charge of the affairs of the palace, which is different from the positions of the Sixth Ministry of the Court and the military.

"For this incident, the main event was mainly from the Chief of the Zhongyu Prefecture, Ren Baqian, and Tao Jiyuan, the Ordnance Department, to inspect the two places of Damo Mountain and Liucui Mountain, and to find ways to increase the production of iron ore. If it can be achieved, I will definitely give it a great reward."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Ren Baqian and Tao Jiyuan both bowed their heads to answer the order.

Ren Baqian knew why the empress had been promoted to her post when she heard these words. If she was the leader in the iron ore affairs, her position as the eighth rank would be too low.

He was promoted to the fifth grade and was the same as the Ordnance Department doctor, and his special identity was almost the same as the head of the army.

"Yiwei School Wei Teng Ki, you take three hundred flying cavalry to protect you along the way. If something goes wrong, I'll ask you." The empress said coldly again.

The general wearing iron armor should be immediately.

He naturally knew who the empress was asking him to protect.

If the two of them were in danger at the same time, they would probably have to bring Ren Fucheng back.

Otherwise, I would have to come and see you.

"Go back and prepare, set out after noon, let Baqian stay." After the empress said that, Tao Jiyuan and Fujiki retreated one after another.

"This is the Ordnance Si Qing Fenghou. If you have something to ask me."

"The lower official has met the Ordnance Siqing." Ren Baqian turned around and bowed.

"Ren Fucheng, I want to ask, are you sure about expanding iron ore production?" Feng Hu turned around and looked at Ren Baqian.

"That depends on the content and distribution of iron ore. If it is just difficult to mine, there should be some solutions." Ren Baqian thought about it and said.

"As far as Your Majesty said, Ren Fucheng has a way to smel iron ore and build weapons? I wonder if I can say that, so I am better prepared." Feng Hu asked again.

"Smelting iron ore mainly involves insufficient temperature and unstable temperature. The simple method is just to use a bellows. However, if it is long-term, a steelmaking furnace is needed to continuously make steel. This process is also very simple, and the equipment needs are small and the stability is high.

If the steel produced contains low carbon content and fewer impurities, it can be directly made, which saves a lot of manpower than manual forging methods." Ren Baqian explained.

"What is a bellows? What is a steel furnace? What is steel?" Feng Throat frowned for three questions in a row.

He looked down on this husband selected by His Majesty, like everyone in the court, and he looked down on him, otherwise everyone would not have opposed it at the beginning.

On the one hand, his strength is too weak, and on the other hand, he has no idea what ability he has except flattering him.

His Majesty brought them in this morning and said something before.

Your Majesty wants to expand iron ore production.

Not only His Majesty, but the entire Ministry of Works also racked his brains, but there was never a good idea. It was really difficult to mine those two iron mountains.

Over the years, it has been mined slowly like this. Countless people racked their brains and did not achieve much results, and everyone thought that this was the only way.

This time, His Majesty asked Ren Baqian to be the chief officer, inspect the mines and find a solution.

If that were the case, he wouldn't say anything, and he would do it. Anyway, it would benefit from becoming an Ordnance Department, and it doesn't matter if it could not be done.

But what Your Majesty meant was that he would also intervene in some smelting and building weapons in the future, so he could not let him do it. When he intervened, what did he do as the ordnance Siqing?

And this person really knows how to mine, smel and build weapons?

If he is really capable, then the upper and lower levels of the Ordnance Division can be followed by his command. Otherwise, he will not let him intervene in the Ordnance Division.

Therefore, I suggested asking Ren Jianshu.

Ren Baqian didn't mind these things, but explained in detail:

"You can try the bellows, just in such a large box, one of which is a handle and a push plate, and an air inlet, and then one person pushes and pulls the air over.

The air is full of oxygen, and the fire will naturally burn better. And if someone keeps pushing and pulling, the fire will be more stable and the temperature will be higher, making it easier to melt..." Ren Baqian roughly gestured.

"As for steelmaking furnaces, we must first talk about what steel is. Ordinary iron will be very brittle if used to build weapons, so we need to forge and remove the magazines in it to reduce the carbon content. The final result is actually steel...

The steelmaking furnace directly removes the iron during the smelting process, reduces the carbon content, and directly melts out the steel, which can save at least a thousand hammers and hundreds of forgings..." Ren Baqian said directly.

Feng Hu frowned and didn't understand. Let the pile of things in Baqian's mouth make him feel unconscious.

I have been in the Ordnance Department for more than ten years, and I can only know the general knowledge of all the things I have. But I don’t understand what this person said.

The empress looked at Feng Throat below and frowned and thoughtful, and the corners of her mouth were raised.

This is what she wants to see.

She naturally knew the thoughts of the whole court.

My husband chose it myself and no one could interrupt her. But being so slighted by others makes her feel displeased.
