The first case in this world began with an adultery murder case, although it was not a shocking case, but it was also a good start for Xia Guo's justice.

"The secretary of the military department, tell me about your situation!" Wang Lang said to Lin Huo.

"Back to Your Majesty, the military department has not had anything big to do recently, it is still hunting wild beasts, the wild beasts in the area from Yancheng to Linhe City have basically been exterminated, and now the army is advancing in the direction of Tongshan City." Lin Huo said respectfully.

Wang Lang nodded and said: "Good job, the task of exterminating the beast cannot be stopped, and it must be ensured that people can travel freely around the country." By the way, in the future, the expedition group will be under the management of the Ministry of Warfare, and the current two expedition groups are far from enough, so I decided to let go of the expedition plan, and all male countrymen who are interested in this work can participate. ”

"Command!" Lin Huo said respectfully.

The situation of the five ministries has been reported, basically there is no major problem, he, the acting official department Shangshu, also said: "I have my agent in the ministry, and now I have formulated a part of the law, I will hand it over to the criminal department when the time comes, and I will hand it over to the military department after the military regulations are formulated, you two people, you must learn to read and write in the shortest possible time, if you can't even understand the law at that time, it will be a joke." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister recently learned to read and write in the Ministry of Rites, and now he can recognize hundreds of words, and he can still understand the basic things." Kong Yi said with some smugness.

"Very good, this attitude of learning must be maintained in the future, it is not enough to be able to understand the basics, you must be able to read fluently, and the law can be." Wang Lang said solemnly.

"The minister will study hard." Kong Yi said respectfully.

"During this time, everyone has done well, and you can also see that Xia Guo is getting better day by day, and the people of the country are becoming rich, which is our ultimate goal."

After a pause, he continued: "After the Ministry of Industry has completed the construction of the two cities, it is necessary to focus on the production of tools and weapons, now the first batch of ceratosaurs is about to grow up, and the second batch of dragon eggs obtained are still hatching, these ceratosaurs will soon be put into use, and in the future, your Ministry of Industry will make as many agricultural tools as possible." ”

When Mu Feng heard this, he hurriedly said: "There was a sample drawing from His Majesty before, it is not too difficult to make farm tools, we are now improving the bed crossbow, and now there is a lot of progress, I believe that in the near future, the new bed crossbow will be able to be equipped with the army." ”

Wang Lang was interested when he heard this, and said, "I'll go to your Ministry of Industry to have a look later." ”

"Greetings to Your Majesty!" Mu Feng hurriedly said.

Wang Lang nodded and said, "That's all for this court meeting, stay for a while!" Retreat. ”

Except for Lin Huo, the rest of the officials slowly retreated.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to let the minister stay?" Lin Huo asked.

"I want to talk to you about the expedition group in detail, I still attach more importance to the expedition group." Wang Lang said slowly.

"Your Majesty, please speak."

"You can also see the receipt of this expedition group in the past few years, I plan to set up an expedition corps in the military department, and the officials in charge of this time will let Zhao Dashu of the first expedition group be in charge, this person's performance over the years is very eye-catching, use his experience to teach people who want to go out to explore, so that the possibility of the expedition surviving can also be greatly increased."

Lin Huo nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right, this Zhao Dashu is indeed a good talent." ”

"Well, after the establishment of the expedition group, the focus of the expedition will be to explore to the east, I estimate that there is the existence of the ocean I once said in the east, the sea is very rich, and when the time comes, we will push the territory of the Xia Kingdom to that side."

"Your Majesty, is this ocean so important?" Lin Huo asked suspiciously.

"Yes, although the sea is much more dangerous than the land, but in the future, if we want to leave the land and explore the ocean farther away, we must have sufficient navigation ability, and we do not have this condition in the inland now, we must go to the edge of the sea." Wang Lang said solemnly.

In his heart, he is still very yearning for sailing, he has been deep in the interior since he was a child, he has never been to the beach in his life, and the largest body of water he has ever seen is this lake in Yancheng, and he is very curious about the mysterious ocean.

"The minister has made a note, and I will proceed with this!" Lin Huo said respectfully.

Wang Lang nodded and said, "There's nothing wrong here, go with me to the Ministry of Industry to see what the new bed crossbow looks like." ”

"The minister is also very curious!" Lin Huo said with a smile.

The two, accompanied by the guards, came to the Ministry of Works.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry saw Wang Lang coming, and hurriedly went out to greet him.

"Ministry of Justice, take me to see the new bed crossbow!" Wang Lang said with a smile.

"Yes!"

After Mu Feng finished speaking, he took Wang Lang and walked towards the weapon making workshop of the Ministry of Industry.

Walking into a small brick-walled courtyard, Wang Lang found that it was as busy as a construction site.

The carpenters were busy trimming the wood with their tools, and the ground was littered with tiny wood chips.

After a while, Mu Feng took Wang Lang to a grass hut.

"Your Majesty, this is the new bed crossbow!" Mu Feng pointed to the big guy in front of him and said.

Wang Lang stepped forward to take a closer look, and sure enough, he saw that this bed crossbow was very different from before, not only in terms of appearance, but also in structure.

The inside of the crossbow groove is wrapped in polished copper sheets, and many bronze parts are added to key places on the crossbow body.

The most important thing is that the previous bed crossbow used a rope to pull the string, but now, with the new bed crossbow, the rope is removed and a one-action card slot is used instead of a rope, and there is something like a trigger to release the crossbow arrow.

Although he hadn't seen the actual effect of this bed crossbow, he knew that this bed crossbow was definitely much more advanced than the previous one.

"Yes, I think this crossbow is much more powerful than before, so I'll hand it over to the Ministry of War when it's done!" Wang Lang said with satisfaction.

Mu Feng nodded and said, "Your Majesty, I don't need to show you this bed crossbow again." ”

Wang Lang smiled: "No need, I took a closer look, there is nothing wrong with this bed crossbow, I can give you a suggestion, on the basis of this bed crossbow, improve it, see if it can be made smaller, so that a soldier can move it, if it is done, this thing is much more convenient than a bow and arrow." ”

Mu Feng frowned, touched his chin and thought carefully for a while, and said, "Your Majesty's idea is very unique, and our Ministry of Industry will try to try it, but we can't guarantee that we can do it." ”

"There's no rush in this matter, wait until you have made your farm tools, and then think about it!" Wang Lang said disappreciably.
