Near the cliff, the recruited men cut down the big trees one by one and built a simple wooden bridge over the cliff.

Following the ropes tied to the wooden bridge, the miners descended to the bottom of the cliff, and although there was also iron ore on the cliff face, it was found that the reserves of iron ore below the cliff were even greater.

At the bottom of the cliff was a narrow pile of rubble, and after that fire, all the vegetation on the surface was burned to the ground, and the bare made it much less difficult to mine.

The workers put pieces of iron ore into rattan frames, and the people on the cliff turned the winch to pull the basket of ore up, although the process was extremely difficult, but fortunately there were no accidents.

The soldiers of the beast hunting camp were scattered on both sides of the cliff, killing all the beasts that dared to come close, so to speak, except for mosquitoes, not even a single bird could fly.

The ore was mined smoothly, and the ore transported was sent to the newly built ironmaking workshop for sorting and mashing with the arrival of deer carts.

Since Wang Lang's original plan was to make steel, the fuel was not wood but treated charcoal.

The workers pulled the sealed boxes hard, the air was so strong that the charcoal was blazing, and the boiling heat made the people nearby feel as if they were in a furnace.

Working in this hot weather is simply a kind of torture for people, and every time you pull for a while, you have to change a group of workers, otherwise it is easy to have serious heat stroke due to high temperature under long-term work.

The paper mill near the ironmaking workshop is also in full operation, and paper is still an expensive luxury, and now the thousands of pieces of paper produced have been sent to Wang Lang as tribute.

Naturally, these paper kings will not treat them as decorations and put them in their palaces as decorations.

At the same time as he got this batch of paper, he immediately took out the set of clay movable type carved by the craftsmen, and carefully applied the black dye to the movable type with a brush.

After testing, Wang Lang found that the effect of printing with this dye is very unsatisfactory, and it is easy to blur or the font is not clear.

The failed experiment did not dampen Wang Lang's confidence, and he began to study how to make ink.

Just as Wang Lang was concentrating on trying various materials according to his shallow understanding of ink, Wang He, who was nearly four years old, jumped over.

"Father, you see, this is the word taught by the teacher today, and I can already write it." Wang He shook a roll of wooden tablets and looked at Wang Lang proudly.

Wang Lang stopped what he was doing, took the wooden tablet, opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing, which was written a few sentences from the enlightenment textbook he had compiled.

"At the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, Xi is far away, no teaching, sex is migration, the way of teaching, you are specialized."

These three-character scriptures have been deleted and reduced by Wang Lang, and some things that quote scriptures and classics have been removed, plus their own nonsense, which can barely be used as the enlightenment teaching materials for these children, and these three-character scriptures can also teach these children the basic principles of life, knowing good and evil, and knowing right and wrong.

"Do you know what those words mean?" Wang Lang asked with a smile.

Wang He scratched his head, looked at Wang Lang blankly, and said in a milky voice: "The teacher didn't tell me what it meant at this time, just let us know these words." ”

"This person's original nature is good, it is about when people were just born in this world, their nature is good, similar in nature, and far away from each other, that is, as we grow up, the living environment and experience are different, so that our original similar character has changed, everyone has their own personality, which allows us to be called people, you think about it, if we are all the same, it is not a very terrible thing." Wang Lang explained carefully.

Wang He tilted his head and thought about it, not knowing what terrible picture he had thought, and his face turned pale with fright and he was in a cold sweat.

Wang Lang looked at his son like this, and couldn't help laughing: "I thought of something, I was scared like this." ”

"Father, I thought that if all the children in the school palace looked like me, I would feel terrible." Wang He said tremblingly.

"Uhh Wang Lang was speechless for a while, this child's brain circuit is really different from that of an adult.

"In addition to learning to write in the school palace recently, what have you learned in the other way?" Wang Lang asked.

"The teacher said something about before the establishment of the Xia Kingdom!" Wang He said in a milky voice.

"Oh! What did you talk about? Wang Lang was interested.

"The teacher said that in the past, human beings lived without clothes like animals, and many people were eaten by wild beasts, and the humans on the grassland, under the leadership of their father, defeated those ferocious beasts, established a city, and let people have clothes to cover their bodies and food for their stomachs, so that we can never betray our father."

After Wang Lang heard this, the expression on his face was a little complicated, of course it was a happy thing that he was now so loved in the hearts of the Chinese people, but he didn't know why he couldn't help but feel a chill when he thought of the three fats of the universe nation.

At this time, the guards walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites is still asking to see you!" ”

"Oh! Please let him in! ”

"Yes!"

After the guards retreated, Wang Lang said to Wang He: "You go to your mother and sister first, and play by yourself!" ”

Wang He nodded and ran towards the backyard in a hurry.

"Minister! The Ministry of Rites is still in the forest, meet Your Majesty! Lin Huo bowed and bowed.

"Fire, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be so polite, sit down!" Wang Lang said gently.

Although Wang Lang said this, Lin Huo still said respectfully: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”

Wang Lang shook his head helplessly, after the division of power classes became clearer, now he really had a feeling of being alone, and those who were once like brothers and brothers seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him.

He sighed softly and said, "Did you come to me for something?" ”

"Your Majesty, after a long period of observation, Qin Tianjian has determined the shortest day." Lin Huo said excitedly.

Hearing the news, Wang Lang hurriedly asked, "Is this matter confirmed?" ”

"The officials of the Qin Heavenly Prison found that every three hundred and sixty days or so, there would be a day when the days were very short, and it was obviously not a coincidence that such a thing happened twice, and yesterday was the shortest day." Lin Huo said respectfully.

Wang Lang nodded, the shortest day should be the winter solstice, determine this day, you can make the astronomical calendar more accurate, with a clear calendar, it will also have a great impact on agriculture, thinking of this, said to Lin Huo: "The officials of Qin Tianjian have worked hard, in this way, I will arrange for the household department to reward these meritorious ministers, this shortest day, it is called the winter solstice!" It is set on the first day of the year. ”
