Zheng Quchi clearly hadn't expected this good thing. She hadn't even argued with anyone, and then—"You agree?" she asked in surprise.
Ha, what can I do if I disagree? His Highness the Crown Prince has taken time out of his busy schedule to send someone to inquire about this matter. He doesn't want to lose his position or his head, so naturally he has to give this person with connections a hundred million face points.
"But let me make it clear beforehand that this matter is fraught with difficulties. You should already know the difficulties faced by the Directorate of Works and the Ministry of Water Resources. Some things cannot be taken into account on your behalf. There are still many civil engineering projects that need to be started. In addition, the Ministry of Revenue has also done its best.

If there are any problems, as long as it's something she can help with, she and he will work together to solve them.
Yes, Zheng Quchi had long known that the Ye army's weapons were primitive and backward, and they still used cast iron. In fact, the military armory even had a lot of broken copper and scrap iron stored in it. Once they went to the battlefield, no matter how brave their soldiers were, they would still suffer a great loss if their equipment was not up to par.
No, if other soldiers have it, their Ye Kingdom soldiers can't lag behind.
She had previously succeeded in having blacksmiths in Fuxian forge high-quality steel, but at that time the blacksmiths' skills were not mature and the smelting furnaces were too backward, resulting in very low output.
But things are different now. Shengjing has the best blacksmiths in Ye and the most advanced and complete military equipment bureau. It can put the crucible steel method into use, increase steel production capacity, and produce high-quality steel to make weapons.
