"The Queen Mother, with the new system, outside the road gate, are under the jurisdiction of the Ling Yin Mansion, and the sanitation is not allowed to go out of the road gate to the court, please return to the palace." Cheng Jie was very unhappy at this time, he was angry at the provocation of the courtiers, and he was even more displeased with Concubine Zhao's public offense.

"Rude!" Meng Zhao was also furious, "Under the Putian, it is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister." How dare you ......"

"Fart!" Cheng Jie broke off and drank, "Chu State doesn't practice Zhou etiquette, don't take the reason of the Zhou people." If the sanitation does not retreat, it will be killed on the spot! ”

Cheng Jie drank heavily, causing the armor soldiers in Yin's mansion to swarm out, and the spear was aimed at the 'invading' sanitation. Concubine Zhao's anger was rekindled, and when she was about to reprimand, the chief of the sanitation guard said: "Please return to the palace, outside the road gate, it is no longer under the jurisdiction of ministers." ”

"Are you waiting?" The armor soldiers of the Yin Mansion were ready to attack, and they had long known that no one was on guard for sanitation under this provision. Seeing this, Concubine Zhao had to brush her sleeves away, Meng Zhengyu and others wanted to stop but were stopped by the sanitation, at this time Chengjie drank again: "If you don't retreat, you won't be killed!" ”

The Queen Mother has already retreated, and Meng Zhao and others, who knew that the general trend had gone, also retreated, only Kong Lu, who did not give up, stepped forward and said: "Dare to ask Ling Yin why he killed people?" ”

"Why do you kill?" Seisuke laughed. "Chu no longer needs county officials, but also forbids traitors, does not kill, what is the use of staying?"

"You don't need a county official, dare to ask Ling Yin how to govern the country?" Kong Lu asked again.

"Naturally, it is the clan and the reputation of the people who rule the country. We all have retainers, what is the use of asking county officials? Cheng Jie replied again, he looked at the scholars behind him, and said with a contemptuous smile: "You may not be able to teach if you wait for karma." ”

"What does Ling Yin mean by this?" Kong Lu wanted to ask, 'Where does this place the king?', but the scholar is related to the politics of culture and education, so he has to ask.

"Ben Yin just told them that if the clan reputation is not allowed, they will not be able to return to their hometown as a gentleman."

"Ling Yin Dayu, we are only ordered by the king to carry out the king's government." Several scholars standing in the front row scolded them when they heard this, and they looked excited.

"Hehe...... "Chengsuke hates foxes and fake tigers the most, these scholars can't fight, and they are bloodless, he has always looked down on them." The state of Chu has a contract system, and the king's order has not been out of the capital of Ying, but the order of Ben Yin can be carried out in the state of Chu. If the clans and honorable people in each county don't want you to wait, they don't want you to wait. Since you are only ordered by the king, you will die in Yingdu in the future, and Ben Yin will never interfere. ”

As the principal of the teacher's school, his students couldn't teach after graduation, and Kong Lu was so angry that his face turned blue. He said angrily: "The king's new deal ......"

"The king's new policy will be implemented naturally," Cheng Jie was very happy to see Kong Lu's expression, "However, how to implement it has nothing to do with them, this Yin is the county Yin of Xi County, and Xi County will elect scholars to go to Yingdu to study." ”

"This sacrificial wine is not accepted!" It was not easy to cultivate this group of students, and Kong Lu must not let them grow old in Yingdu for the rest of their lives.

"Sacrificial wine?" It was only then that Seisuke remembered that there was something that had not yet been announced. "Ling Yin's Mansion will build another national teacher school next month, and scholars will not be allowed to enter the school if they are not elected by the clan; Ye Cheng shall not be allowed to be allowed by the clan honorable scholars, and shall not teach in the jurisdiction. ”

"You have no king and no father, this is a beast!" Meng Zhao and the others also understood what Cheng Jie meant, and they were furious in anger.

"How dare you insult Ben Yin?!" Cheng Jie drew his sword with a choked sound, pointed at Meng Zhao angrily and shouted, "Draw your sword!" ”

"You!" The gentleman didn't move his mouth, but he didn't expect Cheng Jie to draw his sword without saying a word.

"Draw your sword! Draw your sword!! The armor behind Chengjie not only retreated to make way for the fight, but also frequently stood at the spear and shouted.

"Ling Yin, is this going to kill someone?" Meng Zhao didn't dare to draw his sword, and Meng Zhengyu saw Cheng Jie's killing intent and had to cross over.

"Whoever insults me will be killed!" Cheng Jie didn't care about it, he stepped forward with his sword, Meng Zhao's face turned pale, and his steps retreated to the scholars, and the scholars protected him in front of him.

"Phew! Servant! Don't let Ben Yin see you again, goodbye, kill him! Seisuke spat at him and scolded. After scolding, seeing that everyone still didn't leave, he drank again: "Don't quit the land of this mansion yet!" ”

"If you don't retreat, you won't be killed!" Cheng Jie drank, and the armor behind him not only drank, but also raised his spear and stepped forward, and they drove everyone to the palace avenue before turning back.

"Barbarian, this barbarian!" Meng Zhao only returned to normal at this time, but his neck was red with anger.

"This matter can only wait for the king to come back and discuss." Meng Zhengyu was much more sober than Meng Zhao and the others. Chengjie has already made it very clear that the king's order is not out of Yingdu, and outside Yingdu is governed by clans and honorable scholars, which is equivalent to saying that there are no officials subordinate to the central government in Chu State, only clans and retainers of honorable scholars. Because of this, the divisions of each county are either subservient to the clans and honorable scholars of their own counties, or they are the same as those scholars who have not been elected or allowed to be accepted by the teacher school.

"Alas!" Kong Lu couldn't help but breathe, he originally wanted to use the king's order to spread literature and religion all over the Chu country, who could get to the point where things would evolve like this. "The road is not good, and the chariot floats in the sea." He said goodbye to Meng Zhengyu and the others, and staggered to the Maomen.

When the palace ordered the Yin Mansion to disperse, the construction shed in the north of the city was still hot, and the three charcoal and iron smelting blast furnaces in the corner of the shed continued to rise smoke and dust, distorting the air inside and outside the shed. Different from the large converter that exploded in Xianyang Shaofu, on the basis of the original converter, the converter was made smaller, and one furnace was less than 2,000 catties, about more than 400 kilograms.

The density of iron is 7.8 times that of water, one ton is 0.12 cubic meters, and more than 400 kilograms is only 0.06 cubic meters. In the case of a cube, the side length is only 0.4 meters, and the volume of the entire converter is less than one cubic meter. In addition to reducing the cost of converter trials, there is also a reason to eliminate accidents.

Converter steelmaking needs more than one cubic meter of air per second per ton of molten iron, and the wind pressure of manpower blast is not enough, and the molten iron will react unevenly if the wind pressure is not enough, and the fryer accident will occur if the reaction is uneven. There had been an accident in the mansion before, but it was different from the earth-shattering fryer in the Shaofu of the Qin State, the accident was like pouring water into boiling oil, and the molten steel splashed out when the furnace was shaken, and after that time, the converter was smaller.

"Out of the oven!" The engineer judged that the iron-smelting furnace was ready to produce molten iron, and immediately shouted that it was ready to be baked.

The furnace never stops, but each batch of iron ore is only tested two or three times, after which a batch of iron ore is replaced. In order to prevent the mixing of each batch of iron ore, ten furnaces were smelted for each batch of ore, but only the last two or three furnaces of molten iron were used. After the furnace was shouted, the craftsman began to sound the gong, and the craftsman Lifu inside and outside the workshop suddenly became busy, and the converter was under the action of some Lifu, and the nozzle of the furnace was aimed at the wrought iron pipe, ready to accept the molten iron.

"Out of the oven!" When the engineer shouted for the second time, the doors of the three iron-smelting furnaces opened at the same time, and the temperature of the shed suddenly rose.

At this time, the Lifu outside the shed was ready, and as soon as the wind was blown in the shed, these people hummed and pushed the skin, and the air rushed out from the bottom of the furnace, the converter trembled, and the mouth of the furnace once again spewed smoke and sparks, dragging the whole shed into hell.

After more than two years of trials, everyone is accustomed to this kind of scene at the moment, and the control of the fire is also like a cow, and they are at ease. Seeing that the fire at the mouth of the furnace gradually became smaller, the tongue of fire became shorter, and the sound of the gong in the shed immediately stopped. There was no sound of gongs outside the shed, and the wind stopped, and as soon as the wind stopped, the boiling water in the furnace gradually returned to calm.

"Dump the scum!" The density of slag is only the general density of the water, and the slag needs to be poured before pouring the water. Under the order of the engineer, the wrought iron chain at the bottom of the converter was slowly tightened, and the furnace body was tilted a little bit, and once the angle was reached, the dark red slag rushed out. Under the slag is the huge water, and the color of the huge water is white and bright. The engineer with inked glass glasses saw that the dark red slag had run out, and immediately ordered Lifu to turn the furnace and turn the furnace mouth in one direction and continue to tilt to pour out the water.

This operation has been carried out more than 200 times in the past two years, and the white and bright water is poured out and cooled along the graphite fireproof bricks. Molten steel has extremely poor fluidity and is difficult to cast, but it is not difficult to pour it into pieces of steel ingots that are easy to handle. After the molten steel was dumped, no new material was added to the furnace body, and the trial ended. All that's left is to wait for the ingot to cool down to a certain temperature and hit it with a giant hammer to see if it's hot and brittle; Wait until it is completely cool, then hit it with a giant hammer to see if it is cold and brittle.

"Engineer, please use tea." The time for natural cooling was not short, and the engineer walked out of the shed, and the apprentices offered tea and towels. After the restructuring of the government, the engineer also drank tea, and the treatment status was not the same as before.

"Have you ever heard that my Chu master is better than Qin Shi?" There are other craftsmen resting in the shade of the trees outside the shed. The news of the victory spread very quickly, and not long after leaving the mouth of Chengsuke at noon, the Zaifu a few kilometers away became known.

"Master Qin? Hum. An engineer named Fei shook his head again and again, "Qin is a country of tigers and wolves, how could there ever be a division of tigers and wolves?" If there are many people and few people fight, who can't win? ”

"How is the servant, is it a big iron today?" When several engineers saw Yu coming over to enjoy the coolness, they stopped and saluted him.

"Huh." He only smiled in return, did not speak, and began to drink tea after taking the seat.

"It's not going to work." He turned around and smiled, he had never entered the trial shed, but the entire mansion knew what was going on inside.

"It's been nearly three years since the king began to refine it." Another engineer sighed.

"What about three years, there will always be a day of success. However, I heard that Qin Guo was also trying......" Another engineer spoke, and at this time, I saw the apprentice of the engineer running out of the work shed, running by everyone's side like the wind, and he didn't say a word in the ear of the engineer, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

"Really?" The engineer didn't care about the tea on the ground, and only looked at his apprentice.

"Please come into the shed and have a look." The apprentice's face was eager and joyful.

"Let's go!" The engineer couldn't sit still, he didn't even wear his shoes and hurried to the shed, and the apprentices behind him hurriedly took the shoes and grabbed his feet to help him put them on before entering the shed. When he entered the shed, he saw that the steel ingots that had cooled to red were struck again and again by the one-ton falling hammer, and each time the steel filings were splashed, but they did not shatter with one blow like the previous two hundred blows.
