"The lawless king, not etiquette, but good governance, playing Qi rhetoric, even observance but not favor, argument but useless, many things and little merit, can not be used as a discipline; However, there is a reason for his persistence, and his words are reasonable, which is enough to deceive the fools, and it is Hui Shi and Deng Xiye. ”

The law is the first king and does not know its system, but the drama is ambitious, and he has heard of miscellaneous things. The case is said to be the 'five elements', which are very secluded and classless, hidden and unspoken, closed and unresolved...... It is the sin of Zezisi and Meng Ke. ”

The summer afternoon was very hot, and even after the next spring (an hour before the suspension of the train), the atrium was still extremely hot. Fortunately, the palace is cross-shaped, east, west, north and south can be transparent, in order to cool down, the temple maids of the east palace will open the doors of the hall on all sides, and place ice cubes in the prince, the prince's several cases, so that people feel more comfortable.

The prince Fu is equal to the doctor (the doctor is the Qing), the Xun situation who pays attention to the etiquette is not afraid of the heat, and the recitation of the article "Non-Twelve Sons" in Xuanyi and Xuansheng. The so-called non-twelve sons are the twelve people such as Ithuan, Wei Mou, Chen Zhong, Shi Yuchief, Mo Zhai, Song Yu, Shen Dao, Tian Piao, Hui Shi, Deng Xi, Zisi, and Meng Ke. Among them, there are famous scholars, Mohists, Legalists, and Confucianists, all of whom have been criticized by Xun. Xiong Jing didn't feel anything at first, but the more complicated he thought when he heard it at the end.

Xunzi is old, but his spirit is not sluggish. Not only is it not sluggish, but the desire to attack is also very strong. If not, why did they start by not teaching the "Rites" and teaching the "Non-Twelve Sons" first? He wrote and criticized each family, and he also rejected the study of Kuguanzi and Song Yu and others, which made Xiong Jing a little curious about how he would criticize the Taoism of Kuangzi.

"Lao Tzu has seen in the truth, but not in the faith, and if there is a letter but no faith, there is no distinction between the high and the low; If there is uniformity but no deformity, the government decree will not be enforced; If there is less but not more, the masses will not be ......"

As soon as he thought about how Xun Guo would criticize the Taoist of the crown, Xun Guan began to count the sins of the Taoists. This means that the Taoist family will only "bend" and not see "stretch", which is too wrong. And the result of compromising is that the nobleman is not expensive, because bending and stretching is a sign to distinguish the noble and lowly levels, and the nobleman will not distinguish between the noble and the low.

Xun Guo first reads through the lecture by himself, and then the students recite it in the next class, and then explain. "Non-Twelve Sons" plus criticism of Lao Zhuang is followed by "Non-Fourteen Sons", "Non-Fourteen Sons" is not short, Xun Guo is worried that his disciples will not understand, so he is divided into four lessons.

"One day, wealth and all things, long support the people, and benefit the world, the genus of access, do not obey, the eight speakers of the rest, the fourteen sons of the migration, then the saint's power, Shun, Yu is also. What will happen to the people of this husband? ......"

Towards the end of the article, Xun Jing read more and more highly, Xiong Jing also stood tall and dignified, so as not to be reprimanded by him, who wanted to come out of the West Room at this time a person with a festival, his courtesy made Xun Jing have to stop. "Who are you?"

"The little minister is the one who confesses, and I invite His Royal Highness the eldest son to bed on the order of the king." The confessor knew the identity of Xun Condition, so he shook it again, and the summoning festival was also held out by his hands and showed Xun Condition, which was two sections. The king's summoning of people on the bronze festival is a weekly rite, one is a call, two is heavy, and three is urgent. The confessor presented two bronze festivals to say that the king had summoned him for an important matter.

"There's no hurry." Xun Guo still had a displeased look when he was interrupted from the recitation just now, "The king immediately ordered me to be the eldest son, and I am free to teach the eldest son." Everything is important to learn. When you go to bed, you will be there after class. ”

After Xun Guo finished speaking, he stopped looking at the confessor, and began to recite again: "What will happen to the husband and the benevolent people?" The upper is the system of Fa Shun and Yu, and the lower is the righteousness of Fa Zhongni and Zigong, and the fourteen sons are said to be relieved, if so, the harm of the world will be eliminated, the benevolent things will be completed, and the traces of the holy king will be ......"

In the East Palace, Xun Guan recited with affection, and under the case of King Chu, Huang Xie, Zhao Huang, Nao Cunning, Gong Yin Dao, Ji Yin and others knelt down and discussed.

What everyone is talking about is the matter of great iron. Chu is not only a big copper user, but also a big copper producer, in addition to not selling the copper of Chu to Qin and Qi, Han Wei, Yan Zhao, and even Rong Di Barbarian, will also sell. It is precisely because of the benefits of copper mines that Dafu can earn tens of thousands of gold a year, and now it is good, Ju Iron is only sold for 20 yuan, but copper is sold for 30 yuan, how can this be a mess.

"The king, the eldest son Fu Yan focuses on learning, and the eldest son will come after class." The confessor returns, and the summons are held above their heads.

"Hehe......" Everyone was surprised, Huang Xie smiled, "Xunzi is famous for being strict as a teacher, and he doesn't like to be disturbed when he teaches under Ji. ”

"This is state affairs!" Nao is cunning. He shook his head, his beard flew sideways, "Go and call the eldest son again." ”

"That's it." Xiong Yuan spoke, his voice was still lacking in qi, and his illness was only stable, not cured - this was summer, summer was hot, his body and blood vessels were expanding, and his condition would slow down. "This matter will be discussed after Jing'er's class."

"Yui." When the confessor heard this, he returned the summoning festival to the temple people, and then retreated.

The confessor stepped back, and the sleeping was quiet, except for the leaky pot of water dripping little by little. Perhaps it was too quiet, Xiong Yuan turned to Ji Yin and said: "After more than two months of excavation, what about Lishan Coal Mine?" ”

"Yu Dawang: The ore vein has been identified, it's just, it's just ......" Lishan Coal Mine has been taken care of by Jiyin, and it is no longer all agricultural workers, and a lot of professional copper miners in Tonglushan have been transferred.

"Just how?" Xiong Yuan asked. After the discussion just now, he has understood the importance of coal.

"It's just that the mine is more than 10 feet old, and the coal that has been dug is still not available." Ji Yin said, "Your Highness said that this is all cinder, not coal. ”

"Cinders?" Including Xiong Yuan, everyone was a little disappointed. Ten zhang, according to the Chu ruler is 23.1 meters, digging so deep and still not seeing coal, is it not that there is no mine here.

"King, there are many mines in Tonglu Mountain that are more than ten zhang, and the deepest ones are nearly thirty zhang." Gong Yin Dao said: "Lishan is not far from Ying, and it is closer to Huaishui. His Royal Highness said that coal and iron are the first thing to be traffic, and the traffic is not smooth, and the cost has increased greatly. There are cinders in Lishan, and when there is coal soil, it just needs to be dug deeper. ”

When Gong Yindao spoke, Huang Xie looked at him obliquely, and waited for him to finish before retracting his gaze. He now has a kind of worry: whether it is a mansion or a jade mansion, maybe one day it will all belong to the big mansion.

"What does His Royal Highness the eldest son say?" Zhao Huang asked.

"His Royal Highness the eldest son went to Lishan, and His Royal Highness said that this place is Huainan, and there must be coal mines." Ji Yin replied. He didn't quite know the meaning of Huainan in Xiong Jing's mouth, Huainan was where the Huainan coal mine was located in the late Qing Dynasty, he didn't know where it was before, but now it seems to be near this Lishan.

"Is there a sacrifice to be observed?" Zhao Huang asked again. He was a conservative aristocrat, worried that he did not worship the god of mountains and water when he opened the mine.

"The sacrifice was made in full observance, and every god was deficient." Gong Yin Dao replied.

"King, the deepest part of the copper mountain is nearly thirty zhang, and it is not an exaggeration to see no usable coal in the mountains more than ten zhang deep." Zhao Huang said, "The weight of iron is heavier than that of Hengshan, if it is successful, the generals of Chu State can have the soldiers of iron and the armor of a hundred refinements, and the Qin division will have me." ”

"Good." Today's discussion of the Yan Dynasty was all due to Nao's cunning report, and Xiong Yuan was overjoyed when he thought that the army of the Chu State could use the giant iron.

"King, if a huge iron is really twenty dollars a catty, it is just a huge iron. For soldiers and armor, craftsmen still need to cast and forge and weave, which costs a lot of money, and the national strength may not be enough; Furthermore, if the three armies are all made of iron, what about the bronze soldiers? What about copper mines? Three, abandon copper and use huge iron, if copper is turned into currency, the currency will be expensive, and the city of Chu will be chaotic. These three disadvantages please think deeply about the king, and do their advantages and eliminate their disadvantages. ”

Huang Xie ruled the country for a long time, and although Jutie had all kinds of advantages, it also had many disadvantages, so he asked the king of Chu to be cautious.

"Ling Yin's statement is false." Zhao Huang was disdainful. "The copper of our Chu country is sold to all countries, and the copper soldiers replaced by Jutie can also be sold to all countries. Copper ore is a mine, iron ore coal mine is also a mine, if the iron is completed, the copper mine should be moved to Lishan, change copper to coal and iron, so the copper production is greatly reduced, and the price of copper is only expensive. The iron armor is not sold to the three armies in a year, and the bronze soldiers are not sold to the countries in a year, and the money from this sale can be used for the cost of changing troops, even if it is not enough, it is not much different. ”

Zhao Huang's words were convincing and self-righteous, Huang Xie didn't want to argue with him, he told again: "Great King, in the Chu State, the Marquis of Qin is rampant, I am afraid that today's discussion will be known to the King of Qin after ten months." At that time, if the enemy was prepared, everything would be difficult. ”

"Qin Hou is rampant? Let Yin blame Qin Hou for everything, why don't I see Qin Hou alone? Zhao Huang laughed angrily, and stopped pointing at it.

"My Royal Highness, the eldest son, asks to see you outside the hall." The people of the temple outside the bed entered the temple to make a report.

"Quick, call." Quarrels between the court and the court are common, Xiong Yuan is tired of listening, and as soon as his son comes, his spirit suddenly improves a lot.

"The child has met his father, his teacher, and the doctors." There were a lot of people in the main bed, and Xiong Jing had to bow one by one.

"Jing'er, come here." Xiong Yuan pointed to the position beside him, smiling.

"Your Highness, dare to ask when Jutie will be completed?" Xiong Jing is no longer a student when he sits on the side of the king, and Huang Xie needs to ask him with the courtesy of a courtier.

Summoning himself to the Yan Dynasty was naturally for the sake of Jutie, Xiong Jing guessed at that time, but from the way he came, he was thinking about the lesson taught by Xun Guo just now: 'In one day, wealth and everything...... The eight speakers will rest, and the fourteen sons will migrate'. It seems that Li Si, as his disciple, is not without reason to burn books and pit Confucianism, and only by burning books and pit Confucianism can he achieve the goal of 'eight sayings and fourteen sons'.

"Jing'er ......" Ling Yin asked, his son was absent-minded, and Xiong Yuan called him.

"Yes, Father." Xiong Jing came back to his senses, "There are two kinds of iron, one is refined by the ink furnace, and the other is refined by the converter. The converter will be tested next month. ”

"Is it possible?" Huang Xie asked.

"Success or failure is all about experience. The ink furnace is easier, the converter is more difficult, but over time, both can be done. Xiong Jing replied.

"Dare to ask Your Highness, if the iron is completed, the armor is all made of iron, and the copper mine and copper soldiers are all made?" The giant iron was made by Xiong Jing, so Huang Xie wanted to know what he thought.

"The copper soldiers are all replaced, and the amount of copper ore needs to be produced." Xiong Jing replied.

"Where did the money come from?" Huang Xie said again.

"Where does the money come from?" Xiong Jing didn't think that he was worried about this, and said with a smile: "Rest assured Yin, this money will come from the mansion." ”
