The next morning, offerings were placed in front of the furnace. Three livestock, five animals, white horses, green cattle, that is everything. After all, opening a furnace to forge a blade is a sacred thing.

Li Ke personally bathed, changed his clothes, burned incense and worshipped, and then Mo Yishu personally lit the furnace. As the coke in the furnace burns slowly, the temperature in the furnace also increases.

As the temperature rose, Mo Yishu was shocked. Because Mo Yishu didn't expect that this coke would be able to produce such a high amount of heat.

Even though the heat of the coke was high, the extraterrestrial meteorite did not change in the slightest in a short period of time. This couldn't help but make Mo Yishu very anxious.

However, Li Ke's face was very calm, and he did not show the slightest hint of anxiety. This also made Mo Yishu's anxious heart a lot more stable.

As time passed, most of the day passed. The extraterrestrial meteorite is finally starting to melt. It took three full days until the extraterrestrial meteorite completely melted.

Then Mo Yishu began to purify the extraterrestrial meteorite, and in this way, after several purifications, a real extraterrestrial meteorite finally appeared.

Looking at the piece of extraterrestrial meteorite in front of him, Mo Yishu's face finally showed a smile. Because this also means that the Ink Wing Book does not have to sacrifice to the furnace by itself.

But this is just the beginning, and it is about to enter the process of thousands of refinements. Only after a lot of tempering can you really extract the essence of it.

……

At the same time as Mo Yishu cast the halberd, Li Ke also ushered in the assassins and governors of various states. According to Li Ke's invitation, everyone gathered in the palace.

Li Kegao sat on the throne and said to everyone: "I think you also know that my father gave the land of Deng, Lai, Mi, Qing, Yi, Yan, Qi, and Qizhou to this king as a fief. ”

"And give this king the right to open the palace and the three divisions, and the civil and military officials within the seven states will be appointed by the king, and there is no need to report to the ministry."

"Originally, this king was going to slowly control the land of the seven states. But now the king has lost patience and is ready to officially take over his fiefdom. I wonder if you have any objections to the military and political power in the fiefdom that this king has taken over? ”

Hearing Li Ke's words, Wang Tianlai and Kong Zhixuan took the lead in expressing their willingness to obey Li Ke's arrangement. At the same time, Sun Wei and Gao Kan also said that the soldiers of the two states were dispatched by Li Ke.

However, this is just a formality, after all, the assassins and governors of Dengzhou and Qizhou are all confidants appointed by Li Ke.

However, since they have spoken, the military and political chiefs of the other five states naturally cannot but speak out. They also expressed their willingness to accept Li Ke's supervision and command.

However, Li Ke can also see from their faces that this is just perfunctory. After all, no one is stupid enough to openly oppose Li Ke.

So Li Ke spoke again and said: "It is not feasible to perfunctory things in front of this king, because this king hates people who disobey the yang and the yin the most." ”

"So what is said before this king is a decision that cannot be changed. Therefore this king gives you another chance to speak what is in your hearts. ”

"If you don't say it now, this king will not want to hear any other voices in the future. Otherwise, blame the king's men for being ruthless. ”

Seeing Li Ke's cold expression, his eyes were filled with infinite murderous aura. This couldn't help but make a few people here shudder.

However, they did not stand up and raise any objections as Li Ke said. Instead, they expressed their devotion one by one, as if they had been loyal to Li Ke.

Seeing that everyone did not speak, Li Ke said again: "Since you have no objections, then tell this king about the situation in your jurisdiction." ”

Hearing Li Ke's words, Qingzhou Thorn Shi was the first to stand up, and said to Li Ke: "Lord Qiqi, there is a serious drought in Qingzhou without rain this spring. I'm afraid that this year the people will have no harvest. ”

"The lower officials hope that the king can also reduce the tax burden of the people. And allocated disaster relief money to help the people of Qingzhou survive the drought. ”

After the Qingzhou Thorn History finished speaking, the Thorn History of the other four states stood up one after another. I also hope that Li Ke can reduce the tax burden and allocate disaster relief money.

Li Ke didn't understand what their real intentions were. That is to prepare to give Li Ke a dismissal. After all, they thought in their hearts that Li Ke would not be able to come up with so much money no matter what.

And as long as Li Ke can't come up with the money, then Li Ke will naturally retreat. They dare not stretch their hands into their precincts.

However, what they didn't expect was that Li Ke's face not only did not show the slightest look of embarrassment. On the contrary, I agreed very happily.

Hearing that Li Ke agreed, this couldn't help but surprise the Wuzhou Thorn History. However, this surprise was only for a moment, because they felt that Li Ke was talking big.

Like them, it's just a temporary prevarication. At that time, even if he doesn't take out something, these assassins won't dare to do anything to Li Ke.

However, this Qingzhou assassin wants to kill Li Ke's prestige, lest Li Ke want to dominate the seven states again.

So he said, "Then I don't know how much money the prince is going to allocate to help the people affected by the disaster?" ”

"How much do you think is enough? At the same time, what do you think you should do with the disaster relief money that the king has allocated to you? Li Ke asked without answering.

Qingzhou Thorn Shi said without hesitation: "The lower officials will use the disaster relief money to buy food, and open porridge sheds in the subordinate counties of Qingzhou to ensure that the people will not go hungry." ”

"At the same time, we will use the money to buy seeds for the next year, so that it will not affect the spring planting next year. It's just that in this way, the amount of money needed is very large, and I am afraid that it will not be effective without tens of thousands. ”

"Do you know how much money has been invested in this Qizhou City to let the entire Qizhou survive this drought. Do you know what Dengzhou Assassin is busy with now? Li Ke looked directly at Qingzhou Thorn Shi and asked.

Qingzhou Thorn Shi was asked by Li Ke's words, and he was stammering. For a while, I didn't know how to answer Li Ke.

However, Li Ke did not chase and fight Qingzhou Assassin Shi to the death. Instead, he turned his head to the other four state assassins and asked, "Do you think what Qingzhou Assassins said is right?" Do you also feel that you need this king to send you tens of thousands of dollars? ”

The four states did not dare to reply to Li Ke, after all, they didn't know what kind of medicine Li Ke was selling in the gourd. So one by one, they couldn't help lowering their heads and didn't look at Li Ke's eyes.

But Li Ke said with an angry face: "It is because of you wine bags and rice bags that this disaster has become so serious." If you had led the people to dig the canals in the first place, what would have happened today? ”

"And you still don't think about how you can get a crop to alleviate the people's woes. Instead, they want to ask for disaster relief money and then fill their pockets. ”

"What do you think is the use of this king for officials like you? This king will give you half a month, if this king does not see the slightest progress by then, then you will take the initiative to submit your resignation to this king. ”
