On the second day, after the early morning court session, eunuchs separately notified the four cabinet ministers, Jinrong, and Cheng Dahui to discuss matters in the Emperor's Imperial Study Room.
Liu Chengzhi was directly arranged as the official responsible for using the blast furnace in the smeltery workshop. This was because it was an issue that the Emperor was concerned with, and also because Liu Chengzhi wanted to know if the steam engine, which was currently in the spotlight, could truly be utilized. Therefore, he had been closely observing the trial process of the blast furnace.
He truly hadn't expected that just relying on dozens of craftsmen from a private workshop, in a period of two years, they could create a self-regulating wind wheel, thereby changing the traditional smelting techniques passed down from the ancestors.
