Chapter 318: Failure is Success
The scope of the amnesty of the king does not seem to be too extensive.
Throughout the ages, there have been two kinds of amnesty that are absolutely inadmissible.
One is a death row prisoner and the other is a political prisoner.
There are many types of death row inmates, those who commit murder, and those who commit other capital crimes.
There are also many types of political prisoners, such as political competition and official crimes.
Now that Wang Buxian said that all the death row prisoners were released, it means that they will release a large number of officials and criminals.
Ordinary criminals are not said to be beneficial to the imperial court, at least the harm is not so great.
But these officials are not necessarily, they are themselves a cultural class, with knowledge and ideas.
If you are a little careful when you get to the place, although it will not hurt the root, but the headache is certain.
"Your Majesty, what about Pingyin County?" Cui Yin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, asked.
"How's it going?" Wang Buyu suddenly remembered this.
The reform of control is still experimenting, but Wang Buxing took the time to observe the new institutional model.
Overall, it's satisfying.
The officials performed their own duties, and everyone was transferred from outside, and they were not familiar with each other.
In addition, they all came to Luoyang before taking office, and the officials clearly told them their responsibilities, as well as who the superiors and subordinates were, and who they were equal.
At first, these people didn't really get used to it, but over time, everyone got used to it.
The progress of the work has been steady and progressive, and the efficiency has also been improved, although it is not as much as imagined, but as a run-in period, this degree is now acceptable.
On the contrary, for the previous officials in Pingyin County, Wang Buxing paid much less attention.
If Cui Yan hadn't mentioned this matter, Wang Bu would have almost forgotten about it.
"The result is basically clear, the Criminal Department is sorting out the information, and if nothing happens, it can be reported to the king within five days." Cui Yin said truthfully.
Wang Buxing frowned slightly and asked, "How many capital crimes are there?" ”
"There are one hundred and twenty criminals, sixteen capital crimes, and twelve people from the Jiao Bu family or his vassals!" Choi Yin continued.
"Hold it down! The beginning of spring next year is in the conviction! Wang Bu was hungry and said directly.
These people must not be released.
Whether it is personal feelings or political factors, these people cannot be let out.
Pingyin County has been made by them, and this account must be carefully calculated.
In addition to this reason, Pingyin County is also the beginning of Wang Buxing's use to rectify the officialdom.
Now that the rectification has not yet begun, there is an amnesty, and these people have just been convicted and released.
Although there are still 16 death row inmates who cannot be released, but 120 people, 104 are released, so what is the difference between this rectification and not doing it?
Therefore, for public and private, these people cannot be released.
But the amnesty must continue, and it cannot be because of these people who do not go to it.
Then, the only way is to suppress this matter and delay the time of the verdict.
Wait until after the amnesty to convict.
Because the time of amnesty is the time after the conviction, not the time of the crime.
Therefore, they must swallow this as much as they can.
"No, the minister is looking for their other charges, and there may be some omissions!" Cui Yin said with a very eye-catching look.
"Well, there should be this kind of spirit in handling cases, never wronging a good person, never letting go of a bad person, rather killing a thousand by mistake than letting go of one, this kind of thinking is absolutely not allowed." Wang Bu nodded with satisfaction, this kind of person he likes the most, he has eyes, can do things, you deserve to be a scholar, and even the reason is so sufficient.
"Your Majesty, King Qi and King Yan should come over in the next few days, do you want to meet them?" Xiao He asked.
"If you see it, you don't need to find a mansion for them in Luoyang, give them more servants, and be his Marquis of Qi and Yanhou in peace in the future!" Wang Buyu waved his hand.
Seeing it or not seeing it doesn't mean anything at all.
The second king went south this time, and he took his royal family to the south together.
With the precedent of Qin Shi Huang moving the nobles to Xianyang, now the two of them dare not refuse,
Han Guang's family members were slightly less, after all, he was not a decent Queen of Yan.
But after Tian Dan, the king of Qi, is the real king of Qi, and the tribe also has the greatest power and prestige in Di County.
So this move basically moved away half of the people in Di County.
As for whether it will make a difference to put so many people in Luoyang.
There will definitely be, but it's just a process.
Qin Shi Huang moved 100,000 nobles and it was okay, but what about the people who moved half a county by themselves?
So, surrender and go to Luoyang for the rest of their lives, this is already their best result.
And when it comes to this matter, I still have to thank Qin Shi Huang for his example.
With the precedent of Qin Shi Huang, when the Han envoys proposed to let them move their families to Luoyang, they did not have the courage to bargain.
Most of the things that followed were about the time before and after the accession to the throne.
Everyone seems to have tacitly put aside the recent government affairs.
Of course, it's not that they don't care about it, they will still deal with it in private.
Compared with political affairs, the matter of ascending the throne is more important.
And that's only half a month away.
The king is not hungry, and he still runs to the next door after finishing his business every day, when he is not the old king you imagined.
A large pillar five meters high and two meters thick rose from the ground.
I don't know if I can be the king and not be hungry, anyway, it's an experiment.
The pillar is very simple, it is made of loess, and some kaolin is used as a lining inside, anyway, this is how iron smelting was played before, there should be no problem.
When it dries naturally, the first test begins.
A thick layer of coke was laid underneath, then a layer of iron ore, another layer of coke on top, then another layer of coke, and some limestone on top.
Whether the iron practice is good or not depends on whether the temperature is high enough.
So Wang Bu is very spiritual, and he made a few fans himself, all of which are artificial.
If feasible, in the future, it can be built near the water to propel the wind turbine with water power.
The fire is ignited at the same time, and then the air is continuously sent to the inside to support the combustion, regardless of day and night, the personnel take turns to rest.
In order to test whether it could be done at one time, Wang Buxing did not let people add fuel to it halfway.
He needs to know a bottom line before he can think about something more efficient.
The palace is getting busier and busier, and there were rehearsals in ancient times.
According to the command of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the forbidden army went to familiarize themselves with the problem of their position one by one.
Under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the Xianyu Forbidden Army and the palace people began a general cleaning of the inside and outside.
In winter, there are few flowers and grasses, and the lack of these flowery things will make people feel a little monotonous.
So the palace maids began all kinds of needlework, red lanterns, hanging threads, and so on.
Luoyang Palace, which originally looked very depressed, now basically changes every day, giving people a lot of joy when they look at it.
However, the king's mind is not hungry, and everything is handled by the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette.
He understands that there are not many people, what if there is a joke?
So, after finishing his official duties, Wang Bu was not hungry and went to be the king next door again.
Counting the time, this furnace has been burning for almost thirty hours, and I don't know what it looks like inside.
When Wang Bu was hungry and approached the blast furnace, he faintly felt that something was not quite right.
There is no fryer though.
But now that I was standing less than three meters away, I didn't feel much heat.
Commanding the craftsman to open the slag outlet first.
The result is naturally obvious, no iron slag waste comes out.
Then the tap hole was opened, and no molten iron came out.
The failure had long been expected by Wang Buxing, but he had to know how to fail.
I looked at the two blast furnaces next to it that were already ready for use, as well as one that was being air-dried and two that were under construction.
Wang Bu couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up, it doesn't matter if this furnace fails, you can start the practice of the next two furnaces immediately.
At the current rate of blast furnace construction, waiting a few more days is basically a result, and it is enough to change the furnace and re-smelt iron.
"Smash it open!" Wang Bu was hungry and waved his hand, which was very clean and neat.
The craftsmen, dressed in thick clothes and armed with their whole bodies, lifted their sledgehammers and smashed them hard.
Of course, there is still a need for safer operations, first someone stood on it and looked at it from a distance, confirming that it was black inside, and there was no sign of burning, which made people smash.
With a fierce operation, the blast furnace collapsed in an instant, and a burst of hot gas rushed to the face.
Wang Buxing didn't seem to be in a hurry, so he directly asked people to find cold water and splash it on it to cool down physically, and when the temperature was not too high, he asked people to clean up the waste on it.
A quarter of an hour later, a corner was cleared first, and a part of the inside of the blast furnace could be seen.
It can be seen that the iron and iron slag are clearly divided into two layers, but they are firmly glued together.
As for the quality, Wang is not hungry and is really not sure now.
But the basic problem is probably that he knows that the iron slag and molten iron are not released in time, causing it to cool naturally.
Wang Buxing thought for a while, pointed to the two blast furnaces next to him and said: "Put more than 20% of the coke in this furnace, iron ore unchanged, and 30% more in the other furnace, put some coke from above in this furnace after six hours, and put it again after another eight hours, and write down how much you put it." Another way to see if you can add some coke to the following on the way......"
"Your Majesty...... Wang Shang ...... "Wang Bu was not hungry and was explaining the follow-up arrangements of the craftsmen, but the soldiers outside the door suddenly rushed in.
As if sensing the unhappiness on Wang Buxing's face, the soldier hurriedly said: "The envoy sent by the king to the Yue clan has returned, and they will be able to return to Luoyang in about five days, and they seem to have persuaded the Yue clan people that this time the envoy will come back with the Lu envoy, and the prince of the Yue clan......"
