Chapter 1292 Blast Furnace

Half an hour later, Himiko and Wen Pin agreed on the price of the iron ore.

Wen Pin did not ask for too much.

After all, after conquering Yamatai, no matter how much iron ore was transported, it would eventually return to the hands of Wei.

"Then please rest in the city, General Wen, and I will ask someone to send the silver."

After negotiating the price of the iron ore with Wen Pin, Himiko smiled and said to him.

"Okay, thank you, Queen."

"But when I came to Yamatai again, I still remember the feeling of surviving a disaster, so I want to walk around the city during this period, after all, I haven't carefully experienced the customs and customs of Yamatai before."

Wen Pin said to Himiko after hearing this, he always put the task assigned to him by Cao Cao first.

"Okay, I'll ask the guard to take you around."

Himiko arranged a guard to take Wen Pin to the city.

After Wen Pin and the guard left, Himiko wrote a letter as soon as possible and then released a pigeon.

The carrier pigeon flew directly towards Hanzhong.

When the carrier pigeon flew away and could no longer be seen, Himiko began to prepare silver for Wen Pin.

This batch of silver was sent by Bai Feng after he came to Yamatai last time, for trading with Wei.

After Himiko prepared the silver, she waited for Wen Pin to come back so that she could receive the ore from the ship.

In the evening, Wen Pin returned to the palace.

"I'm sorry to have kept the queen waiting for so long."

After seeing Himiko waiting for him, Wen Pin stepped forward and said.

"It's okay, General Wen, what do you think of the scenery of Yamatai?"

"The scenery is beautiful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It's really a paradise!"

After hearing Himiko's question, Wen Pin said with satisfaction.

The city and street construction planning of Yamatai were all done by Bai Feng.

It's not that Bai Feng has such a superb urban planning ability, but mainly because there are too many types of drawings that can be extracted from the system.

Wen Pin carefully observed the customs and habits of Yamatai this time, and found that the construction of the city was so harmonious with the surrounding terrain.

"Especially the whole city, which is located on an island but is extremely harmonious. The person who built the city must be a great man!"

Finally, Wen Pin couldn't help but praise Himiko for the city construction of Yamatai.

"General Wen is indeed a discerning man. This city is indeed built by a great man."

Himiko smiled at Wen Pin, thinking that Bai Feng was indeed a great man, and a versatile man.

Then Himiko handed the prepared silver to Wen Pin for counting.

After Wen Pin counted and confirmed that it was correct, he asked two guards to return to his ship with the silver.

At the same time, he asked Himiko to send people to prepare to receive the iron ore.

Himiko had already prepared the staff to receive the ore while Wen Pin was still in the city to appreciate the customs and habits.

This group of people came directly to the port with Wen Pin to assist the navy soldiers of Dawei in transporting the iron ore.

Before dark, all the iron ore was transported to the beach outside the port, and there were soldiers guarding it.

Himiko also invited Wen Pin and other Wei navy commanders to rest and attend a banquet in the city that night.

Wen Pin and other Wei navy commanders were naturally happy to go.

The first transaction between Wei and Yamatai was completed very smoothly.

When Bai Feng received Himiko's pigeon message, Wen Pin had already left Yamatai with the Wei navy fleet.

With this successful transaction, it will be much more convenient to trade again in the future.

"Well, Himiko did a good job. This time it is a good start."

After reading the letter, Bai Feng couldn't help but chuckled.

Then Bai Feng told Cao Jie the good news.

"That's really great!"

Cao Jie was also very happy after hearing this. She knew that the iron ore issue had troubled Bai Feng for a long time.

"Well, the next step is to smelt these iron ores on the spot in Yamatai, cast them into iron ingots, and then transport them back to Hanzhong."

Bai Feng then said.

As for the blast furnace drawings for smelting iron ore, they have been in Bai Feng's study for quite a while.

After Bai Feng greeted Cao Jie, he knew that Cao Jie was still busy with the soap workshop, so he did not take Cao Jie with him to Yamatai.

Bai Feng, who came to Yamatai again, went straight to Himiko.

"You did a great job this time!"

After seeing Himiko, Bai Feng praised Himiko generously.

"Thank you, Mr. Guo, it was all arranged by you."

Himiko was happy in her heart, and her face remained calm.

Then Bai Feng handed the drawings of the blast furnace to Himiko.

After Himiko took the blueprint, Bai Feng said to her:

"This blueprint is for a blast furnace. After the blast furnace is built, the iron ore will be smelted and cast into iron ingots. I will come to get it myself."

"By the way, I will only take 80% of the iron ingots. The rest can be left for the soldiers to make armor and weapons to prepare for the future great voyages."

Himiko nodded vigorously to Bai Feng with the blueprint and said:

"I remember all your arrangements, sir. Thank you, sir!"

Bai Feng waved his hand to indicate Himiko that she was not polite. Then Bai Feng did not plan to stay in Yamatai for long. After giving Himiko the blueprint and explaining it, he did not see Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie, and returned directly to Hanzhong Houfu.

After Bai Feng left Yamatai, Himiko called Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie over.

"This is the blast furnace blueprint that the master just sent."

Himiko handed the blast furnace blueprint to Li Cunxiao, and then continued to say to them:

"And the master also instructed that we should build the blast furnace on the blueprint first, and then use this blast furnace to smelt iron ore, and finally contact the master after casting iron ingots. The master will come to pick it up in person after receiving the message."

"Also, we can keep 20% of this batch of iron ingots to make armor and weapons for the soldiers."

"The master said that we should start preparing for the great voyage in the future."

Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie studied the blast furnace blueprint while listening to Himiko relaying Bai Feng's arrangements.

When they heard that 20% of the iron ingots could be kept in Yamatai to make armor and weapons for the soldiers, the two couldn't help but look at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.

Great voyage!

It really made Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie's blood boil just by listening to it!

To be honest, Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie felt a little bored training soldiers every day on this island.

It's really boring without fighting.

However, Bai Feng first sent the blueprints of the treasure ship, and then the blueprints of the blast furnace, and now they are required to build equipment for the great voyage.

Li Cunxiao and Meng Jie's fighting spirit was ignited again.

"Don't worry, leave the blast furnace ironmaking and the armor and weapons to us!"
