"South Korea is weak, but it's not useless." Zhang Beichen found one of the reasons why South Korea can become the Seven Heroes, that is, South Korea's forging technology is very powerful.

Korea has strong bows and crossbows, and swords and swords, and if you defend the city, the enemy will have to be several times stronger to defeat it.

"The advantage of weapons can indeed make up for a certain gap in combat effectiveness." Zhang Beichen feels that this point can be carried forward.

[You visit various artisan workshops, and eventually, under his guidance, the craftsmen made the first iron-smelting shaft furnace and created the first piece of steel! 】

During this period, iron smelting technology appeared not long ago, and iron began to replace bronze in an all-round way. However, due to backward technology, most ironware is pig iron with high impurity content, and a few workshops can forge wrought iron.

The shaft furnace and 100 steel-making technology invented by Zhang Beichen are directly forged steel products, and it is a big step forward in weapons.

[The sharpness of the weapons and the toughness of the armor exercised with 100 steels have greatly enhanced South Korea's military strength, and by buying and selling 100 steels, South Korea has also earned a lot of wealth. 】

[With the use of iron farming tools, South Korea's agriculture has also developed rapidly, and the national strength has increased rapidly! 】

Zhang Beichen also unlocked a skin for this.

[Forging Master: Zhang Beichen] sporadic purple cards.

The cultivation speed of the Mo family is increased by 10%, and the forging proficiency is increased by 10%.

On the screen, Zhang Beichen is shirtless, holding a heavy hammer, sweating like rain, and beating the iron embryo.

……

"Hey, this Zhang Beichen really has some ability!" Han Mengshu was slightly surprised as he watched the growth of money and grain in the treasury.

Zhang Beichen actually understands the art of the Mo family, and forged a hundred steels!

With money and food, South Korea can develop faster.

However, at this time, Han Mengshu did not start a plan to attack other countries, because South Korea has a special geographical location, and no matter who he fights, it will arouse the vigilance of other countries, so it is better to continue to develop obscenely.

……

The time of simulating time and space has passed quickly, and South Korea's national strength has increased after changing the law and Zhang Beichen's support for industry and commerce.

At this time, Zhang Beichen began to have conflicts with Zuo Xiangshen.

Shen did not forget to change the law, and Zhang Beichen also supported it. Ke Shen's concept is different from Zhang Beichen's, he emphasizes the use of art to govern the country, that is, the use of power to govern the country, and the power struggle is above the rule of law.

Zhang Beichen believes that the law does not distinguish between high and low, and it is necessary to treat everyone equally.

For the most part, Zhang Beichen avoided conflict with Shen Buxing. South Korea is such a big place, if there is no internal unity, it will definitely be the first to be destroyed.

But it backfired, and the contradiction broke out.

[Zuo Xiangshen did not forget to see that the iron-smelting workshop was very profitable, so he found you privately and wanted to arrange his relatives to manage the handicraft workshop and run the ironware business. You sternly refused, which made Shen Buyi very dissatisfied, and complained to King Han, slandering you for smuggling iron tools and enriching your own pockets. 】

[In the palace hall, you and Shen do not forget to quarrel, you accuse Shen of cronyism and distinguish law enforcement. 】

……

Han Mengshu looked at the two people arguing in the main hall, and thought about how to deal with it in his heart.

"Zhang Beichen has indeed made some merits, but this person is arrogant and arrogant, and he needs to beat it up, and by the way, he will buy people's hearts."

"Shen is really talented, but he has been known for a long time, so he doesn't know what his surname is, and he needs to be taught a lesson."

Han Mengshu made a decision, she looked embarrassed, and said to the two: "Both of them are widowed Aiqing, why is this!" It's all the fault of the widow, it's the widow who didn't govern the country well, and if he wants to punish him, he should also punish the widow! ”

Shen did not forget to hurriedly say: "The king's words are serious, this is all the fault of the minister!" ”

Zhang Beichen did not admit his mistake, because he felt that he was not wrong.

Han Mengshu frowned slightly, but still put on an embarrassed expression, and said: "The widow doesn't want to punish you, but the country has national laws, and the widow can't take the lead in destroying it." ”

"Zhang Aiqing, I have wronged you, you have a few days of rest. The widow ordered someone to investigate the matter, if not, you must be innocent! ”

"Prime Minister, you are also at fault, and the widow will punish you for a year, I hope you will take it as a warning."

She slapped fifty boards each and punished both of them.

……

[You are at home, and you are depressed, but you don't want to be told that Han Wang Weifu visited your house privately. When Zhang Beichen was wondering how the king of Han deposed him, the king of Han came again.

[King Han said to you: "Aiqing, it was not the intention of the widow to punish you at the court meeting, it was just to show the ministers and make a show. The widow knows that you have great talent, you can rest assured, you will rest for two months, and the widow will definitely entrust you with important tasks! ”】

King Han said so, what else can Zhang Beichen say, he can only hang up at home.

Han Mengshu came out of Zhang Beichen's mansion and summoned Shen Zhifu in the palace again.

"Aiqing, today the widow punished you for your money, do you have a complaint in your heart?" Han Mengshu asked.

"The king's punishment is that the minister has no complaints!" Shen Bu Bu hurriedly said.

"The widow knows that you must be uncomfortable in your heart." Han Mengshu sighed and said, "It's just that the widow is also forced to do so. You have offended too many people because of your change of law, and they have all written to the widows, saying that you are nepotistic and enriching your own pockets, and they have demanded that you be removed from your official position and investigated you. ”

Shen didn't forget to be covered in cold sweat, it turned out that King Han knew all these things.

He quickly confessed his guilt and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!" The ministers are not strict and make mistakes, please punish the crime! ”

Han Mengshu smiled slightly and said, "Aiqing, don't panic. The widow knows that if you preside over the change of the law, you will inevitably encounter some trouble, and it is understandable to use some alternative means. ”

"Those words that criticize you, the widow has suppressed them. Shen does not forget, the widow believes in you, and I hope you can do a good job for the widow. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! The minister must do his best to do the king's errand! Shen did not forget to quickly express his position.

"Good." Han Mengshu nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "You don't have to worry about the problem, the widow has already ordered someone to send a hundred taels of gold and a hundred pieces of silk to your mansion." ”

Shen was not forgotten to be moved, and said: "Your Excellency, the minister's liver and brain are all over the ground, and I am grateful!" ”

As soon as Han Mengshu saw it, Shen Buzhi's loyalty directly rose by dozens of points, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly. It seems that his own set of kingship techniques is still good.

These courtiers, no matter how talented and ambitious they are, they only need a small means to control them, and this feeling makes her heart feel refreshed. This is the joy of being a monarch, controlling people's hearts and controlling the fate of their courtiers!

She was proud for less than two seconds, and suddenly frowned slightly. Because she found that after her own beating, Shen Bucheng was honest, but Zhang Beichen's loyalty not only did not rise, but dropped by five points.

"Why? The widow remembers that when Zhang Beichen was loyal to the King of Qin and the King of Wei, his loyalty was very high? Han Mengshu was unconvinced, "Is it that the widows are not as powerful as them, or are the widows not as beautiful as them?" Could it be that he dislikes South Korea as too weak? ”

"Or is the widow's method not clever enough this time? Should Shen not forget to suppress Zhang Beichen a little more ruthlessly, and the widow will 'save' him again? ”

……

When Zhang Beichen was free, he had more time to check the information of South Korea. When he read the diplomatic message, he was sure of one thing.

That is, this Han Mengshu is a scheming queen! On the surface, people and animals are harmless, but in fact, they have been making small calculations!

The message log reads:

[In January, King Han repaired the letter of the state, presented gifts, and formed an alliance with the Wei state. 】

[In February, Zhao tried to attack Wei and secretly promised the Han king benefits, and the Han king readily agreed. When Zhao attacked Wei, the Han army deliberately delayed the march to avoid entering the battle. 】

[In March, the state of Zhao was defeated, and the king of Wei denounced the king of Han, and the king of Han apologized to the king of Wei, and claimed that he was forced by the king of Zhao, and attacked the Zhao army, stealing a large number of men and weapons. 】

[In June, the state of Chu wanted to unite with Korea to attack the state of Zhao, and the king of Han happily went to the appointment, but after asking for benefits, he secretly sent a letter to the state of Zhao, asking for a large amount of benefits again. The Chu army could not attack for a long time, so it could only retreat. 】

……

The record to the outside world is this kind of news, King Han has been swaying from side to side, forming an alliance with you today, helping others beat you tomorrow, if someone sees through it, he claims that he is a small country, he is coerced by a big country, he does not dare to resist, and he pretends to be wronged.

"No wonder this woman first dismissed me today, and then came to the door to say that she was embarrassed and bought people's hearts! It's so scheming! Zhang Beichen complained secretly.

As far as Han Mengshu's operation is concerned, if others don't know, they may be moved. If someone finds out, the ending will either be a tear in the face, or everyone will act with each other, hypocritical.

This kind of scheming is used in diplomacy, and Zhang Beichen not only understands it, but also strongly supports it. South Korea is surrounded by so many powerful countries, and if it completely falls to one side or does not deal with its neighbors, it will definitely be destroyed quickly. It's better to act, get left and right, get benefits for the country, and balance the situation.

But if this kind of scheming is used against people, or against his own courtiers, Zhang Beichen will be unhappy. I'm here to assist you, to give you the opportunity to unify the world and ascend the throne and become the emperor, what kind of monarchy are you playing in front of me? Isn't it good for everyone to treat each other sincerely?

And now that countries are developing rapidly, this is not the time for intrigue at all.

"If this woman still plays like this, I'll betray you! Give her a lesson! Zhang Beichen thought to himself.

But he can't do that now, because when the loyalty is above fifty, a courtier can't rebel. Zhang Beichen's initial loyalty was eighty points, and now there are seventy-five points left.
