In a special prison for soldiers who were contaminated with drug addiction, Wang Lang looked at the soldiers who were tied up one by one, and his brows furrowed.

"Your Majesty, these soldiers have been like this for four or five days, how can that poppy be so powerful, and how can a person be like this." Kong Yi said with some surprise.

"That's why I want to ban the consumption of opium poppies, if the people of the country are contaminated with this kind of thing, then we will be completely finished, from now on, your criminal department will tell the yamen of the criminal department in various places, as long as you find that someone sells poppies without permission, or eats them, they will be arrested immediately, and this thing must not be allowed to spread." Wang Lang said solemnly.

Kong Yishen nodded approvingly, and said, "Minister, obey!" ”

Looking at this group of extremely painful soldiers, Wang Lang did not have a trace of soft-heartedness, there is no humanitarian spirit here, if these people can't quit drug addiction, then they have to die here.

Wang Lang left here with a gloomy face, how serious the harm of drugs is, he knows very well in his heart, this kind of thing should not exist in this world except for medical treatment.

In troubled times, although the Xia Kingdom is still peaceful, but if you are not careful in this barbaric era, your efforts will be in vain, and he doesn't mind imposing severe punishment on lawbreakers who go against the wind, and would rather kill people's heads than completely prevent the people from eating opium.

South of Yancheng, downstream of the lake.

After the men spent a month mining a large amount of stone from the mountain, the Ministry of Works began to build the embankment.

The grassland is gentle, and the flow of the great rivers is extremely slow, and if the drop of the water flow is not artificially increased, the hydraulic machinery will be of great use.

While the people were building the dam, Mu Feng and the backbone of the Ministry of Industry were studying hydraulic machinery for various purposes.

With the experience of building windmills, and the principle of hydraulic machinery is similar to this, after making a small model, it was determined that this idea is completely feasible, and as long as the dam is successfully built, it can rely on the power of nature to obtain a steady stream of power.

In the process of transformation, the hydraulic forging hammer is the best to do, and it can be said that there is no difficulty in improving on the basis of the original animal forging hammer, and now it is the manufacture of textile machinery that makes them in trouble.

Although Xia Guo now has more complex looms, it is not easy to transform a manual loom into a hydraulic drive.

A group of people studied for more than a month, and there was no clue at all, so in order not to do useless work, Mu Feng had to temporarily put the plan of the hydraulic loom on hold, and began to make relatively simple hydraulic forging hammers and hydraulic mills.

Due to the abundance of manpower, the dam was built quickly, and at this rate, it is estimated that Mufeng will be able to come in handy in a little more than a month, and as long as the dam is successfully built, the production of steel will be increased several times.

And in Wang Lang's palace, Jian Ya sat on the chair with a sad face, bowing his head and not knowing what to think again.

Wang Lang took a sip of fruit wine and said slowly: "What! Not going to say anything? ”

Hearing this, Jianya smiled awkwardly and said: "Your Majesty, I have been in Yancheng for almost half a year, when will I be able to go back to lead the troops, for such a long time, if it goes on like this, it won't be long before the bark guy will be able to catch all the humans on the western grassland, and then there will be nothing to do, I have been really uncomfortable recently!" ”

"It's not impossible to let you continue to lead the troops?"

When Jianya heard this, he immediately became excited, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, do you agree?" ”

Wang Lang smiled: "Don't be too happy too early, listen to me." ”

Jianya seemed to have been splashed with a basin of cold water, and sat on the chair with his head bowed.

"If you want to continue to lead the troops, you must promise me one condition." Wang Lang said slowly.

"Condition, what condition?" Solid Tooth asked.

Wang Lang said: "I will arrange a military judge in the army, you must have heard of this military judge, right?" ”

Jianya nodded and said, "Didn't Your Majesty arrange a military judge in the army of Bark, I've heard of this." ”

Wang Lang nodded and said: "Since you have heard of it, you must also know what this military judge does, let me remind you first, in the future, generals only have the right to command battles, and have no right to enforce military law, if the generals disobey military orders, the military judges have the right to arrest the generals, according to your previous behavior, the military judge can escort you back immediately without asking me!" If you accept this, I will allow you to continue to lead the troops! ”

Jianya's face sank, with this military judge by his side, even if he returned to the army in the future, it would not be as moisturized as before.

"What? Don't agree? Wang Lang squinted at Lin Jianya.

Lin Jianya, who was extremely entangled, nodded after a while and said, "Minister, agree!" ”

"Very well, in that case, I will let you return to your army, and I hope you don't disappoint me again." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

Jianya stood up and bowed, "The minister will never let His Majesty down. ”

Lin Jianya, who was reinstated as an official, only stayed home for one night, and then went to the north with his escort non-stop.

And after Wang Lang left Jianya, he summoned Li Dahe, who ranked second in the last exam, into the palace.

"Minister, Li Dahe greets Your Majesty!"

"Li Aiqing, please take a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I don't know what happened when His Majesty summoned his ministers!" Li Dahe asked.

"Li Aiqing, what have you gained since taking office?" Wang Lang asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has been studying the law during this time, and he has some experience." Li Dahe said in a deep voice.

"Oh! Tell me what you learned. Wang Lang asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, when the minister checked the law, he found that the laws of my Great Xia not only bind the people, but also bound Your Majesty, and in that one, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the people, which makes me admire it very much." Li Dahe said respectfully.

Wang Lang said with a smile: "The greater the power, the greater the responsibility, if the prince is not restrained, he can do whatever he wants, wouldn't it be a mess, whether it is the prince or other people in high positions, they must restrain their own behavior, my Daxia is a country governed by law, no one is allowed to violate the law, you must know that there is no absolutely fair thing in this world, all we can do is to try to ensure the rights and interests of ordinary people, so that after the people of Shengdou are wronged, there is a place where they can preside over fairness, this is the meaning of the existence of your criminal department." ”

"Minister, I've been taught!" Li Dahe said respectfully.

"Okay, I didn't call you over this time to tell you this, there are other things for you to do." Wang Lang said slowly.

"I don't know what Your Majesty wants your ministers to do?" Li Dahe asked.

"From today onwards, I appoint you as a military judge, in charge of military discipline, and have the right to directly accrue." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

Li Dahe was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister has just taken office, how can he do such a good thing. ”

"Li Aiqing doesn't have to look down on his ability, haven't you done a good job during this time, I am optimistic about you with you, you will definitely be able to do a good job as a military judge." Wang Lang said with a smile.

Li Dahe secretly complained in his heart, this military judge is an errand that offends people, and those generals are easy to get along with, but it will inevitably be difficult in the future, but Wang Lang has already said this, so he has to say respectfully: "Minister, obey orders!" ”

Wang Lang nodded and said: "You go to Lin Jianya's general army to be a military judge this time, and report to me the situation over there once a month, if you find anyone who harms my interests in Great Xia, you have the right to take it down, including Lin Jianya, I will send you twenty guards to protect you." ”

"Your Majesty, Mr. Lin is such a noble figure, how dare I disrespect him." Li Dahe exclaimed.

"You don't have to worry about this, you were sent by me, you don't have to listen to his orders, you have to slowly get used to your new identity." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

Li Dahe made a bitter face and bowed: "Minister, obey the order!" ”

"You go back and prepare, let's go in a few days!"

This military judge system is a bit similar to the political commissar, and it is a bit like the ancient prison army, in order to prevent the generals from rebelling, Wang Lang had to make this decision.

So at the same time, in the northern jungle.

It took more than a month for Qiyan to rush to this poppy-covered place.

After knowing the harm of opium poppy, this area has been completely isolated, and the tragic experience of those soldiers who were addicted to drugs and detoxified in Yancheng, under the continuous spread of news, the soldiers can be said to be afraid of opium poppies like tigers, and the former gods have long been ignored at this moment.

Under the protection of the soldiers around them, Qi Yan and others began to pick these poppies.

These bright red poppies looked very beautiful, a large red patch, perhaps because the surrounding herbivores knew that this thing was poisonous, and there was no sign of being eaten at all, only some insects flying among the flowers.

After half a month of picking all the fruits of these poppies, Qi Yan asked the soldiers to remove all the poppies and uproot them.

He returned to Yancheng with a large cart of poppy fruits, and he couldn't wait to go back and try the effect of this thing on those test subjects.

At this time, in the dimly lit cellar of the Great Xia Medical Hall, several doctors tied an adult test specimen to the table, holding sharp knives and gesturing on the man's stomach.

Today they're going to have an operation on this subject, an appendectomy.

By dissecting a large number of corpses, these doctors have a sufficient understanding of the structure of the human body, and not long ago someone died of abdominal pain, and after a private dissection, it was found that a part of the person's intestine was infected, and this intestine did not seem to have any effect, which aroused great interest among the doctors.

Today they plan to give it a try, if the person removes this intestine, will it have any effect, of course, if the test subject dies during the operation, they will not care, there are many test subjects, and if they die, they can change another one.

A circle of candles was inserted on the brass lampstand, illuminating the originally dim cellar.

It's the eyelids that have been gagged, and the limbs that are firmly fixed.

A doctor looked at Hana, who was sitting next to her, and asked, "Can you start?" ”

Hana nodded hungry and said, "Let's start!" ”

The doctor took a deep breath and asked the others to press the subject's body to prevent him from moving in pain.

The sterilized sharp knife easily cut a hole in the subject's stomach, and red blood immediately flowed down the wound.

The intense pain caused the subject to struggle violently, and a whining sound came out of the gagged mouth.

But his limbs were immobilized, so that he could not move at all, and the muscles of his body began to pump out constantly under the pain, and his crotch was already incontinent, and a foul smell filled the cellar.

At this time, this group of devil-like doctors didn't care about these at all.

During the operation for nearly half an hour, the test specimen had already fainted, and at this time, the excision operation had been completed, the wound was disinfected, and after the sutures, the surgeon in charge was relieved.

Hana looked at the discarded appendix next to the table, picked it up with chopsticks and looked at it in front of her eyes, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Take this thing and feed it to those wolves!" ”

The doctors recorded the procedure in a booklet and left the cellar, leaving the test to lie alone in the dark cellar.

In the west, the army that had been conquering the west had an unexpected harvest in the process of capturing the savages.

A force of more than a dozen people found some strange stones in a cave inhabited by wild people, and these crystal clear stones, shining in the sunlight, were very beautiful.

And the texture is very hard, and it has a cold touch when rubbed in the hand.

The soldiers, thinking that they had found a treasure, took all these beautiful stones with them in the cave.

When you return to the camp, show off to the rest of your compatriots.

When Lin Shupi heard about this, he immediately liked this kind of stone, and sent an army to occupy the mine and send people to mine it.

and arranged for dragoons, with a piece of this ore, to return to Yancheng to present to Wang Lang.

With the addition of air power, the speed of delivering the message was many times faster, and after walking for more than a month, the dragoons returned to Yancheng in only six days.

But when Wang Lang saw the treasure offered by the dragoons, he was very excited.

This crystal clear ore, he recognized the crystal at a glance.

In the absence of glass, crystals can replace the role of glass.

With crystal, both telescopes and microscopes can be manufactured.

Of course, it will be very difficult to polish such a hard thing, although he wants to make glass, but he has not found a suitable raw material formula, and the fired ones contain too many impurities, except for being good-looking, there is not much value.

Crystal is different, this natural transparent substance is currently the most suitable material for optical instruments. The principle of a telescope and a microscope is very simple, as long as he polishes the right lenses, he can make both.

The use of microscopes will not be reflected soon, but telescopes are different, and this thing is used in the military, which can be said to greatly increase its own advantages.
