Qingji smiled at Ren Ruo's words and didn't answer.
As a last resort, he didn't want to fool people, especially his own women, with some ghostly things.
But he couldn't deny that in Ren Ruoxi's view, his noncommittal attitude was that he didn't want to reveal the secret of heaven, although he didn't say anything, she couldn't help but be in awe in her words, and asked: "So, what is the second thing that the king said?"
Qingji subconsciously reached into his arms and wanted to take a sample out, but he was untruthful but touched the void, which saved his recklessness and gave it to Shi Yiguang.
After he returned to Wu, he had sent someone to pick up the father and daughter of this benefactor, but there was still no news, thinking that after sending away Qingji, Boss Shi and his family hid to avoid trouble, and Qingji's people could only search in secret, and naturally they couldn't find their whereabouts for a while.
Qingji lowered his hand and said: "Zheng Zhidao, Song Zhijin, Lu Zhijian, Wu Yue's sword, and is called the world's divine soldiers."
Among the above four melee weapons, I have always been respected by the sword of Wu Yue, but in the eyes of the widow, if it is a close combat, the knife sweeps a piece, can be stabbed and chopped, it is really the king of the soldiers, and the sword is a gentleman in the soldiers, and the domineering is far less than the knife.
Ren Ruoxi listened and said: "The king doesn't know, in fact, there are copper knives but no copper swords among the blades originally created by Zhou Tianxia.
At that time, the bronze broadsword had a short handle and a long knife, a thick spine and a sharp blade, and the head end of the handle was generally oblate and ring-shaped, so it was also called a "ring-handled knife".
Today's Zheng knife is inherited from the ring handle knife, the copper knife is not a very sharp weapon in the world, but in the knife this kind of weapon, Zheng Guo cast the most famous.
Because the bronze texture is brittle and hard, it is not conducive to chopping, and if the strength is too strong, the knife will break, so it seems heavy, but it is not practical.
The sword first appeared in the Beidi tribe, the copper sword is not conducive to chopping, but compared with the copper knife, it is flexible and lightweight, and is conducive to direct stabbing, so the advantage of the sword is gradually obvious, and it is also popular in the Central Plains, becoming the favorite blade of the world's gentlemen and warriors.
But even so, because of the brittle and hard copper, there are few three-foot long swords in the world that can be used in actual combat. ” Qingji thought secretly: "It turns out that there is no market for knives at this time, but it is because of this reason.
The quality of iron is not up to par, and bronze is not suitable for casting knives. ” Qingji thought for a while and said: "As far as the widow knows, in the future, iron will replace bronze, and iron will be used for weapon casting, which is far better than bronze." ” Ren Ruoxi bowed his head and said: "What the king said is that my father's senior brother Master Ou Yezi once cast three swords, one of which is called Longyuan, the second is called Tai'a, and the third is called Gongbu, all of which are swords with a length of about three feet, of which the Tai'a Divine Sword is more than four feet long, extremely sharp, and the tenacity is excellent, and it is used to kill the iron that fell from the sky.
My father had asked Master Ou Yezi for advice on the method of ironmaking, and the Ren family currently has some highly skilled craftsmen who are carefully researching, hoping to artificially quench steel with the quality of meteoric iron, but now there is no result. ” "Ou Yezi" Qingji's expression moved: "The widow has also heard of this person's name, where is this person now?"
"The master is a Yue person, who has been obsessed with sword casting all his life, and often walks in the mountains and rivers to find sword casting materials.
At the beginning of the year, he also came to my house as a guest, and said that he would go to Chu to find some high-quality materials for sword casting, and there has been no news of him since then. ” "Oh" Qingji let out a long sigh and said, "The application of iron tools will be better than that of bronze tools, this is certain.
The widow doesn't know how to smelt, and he can't point to you, but the iron quality is not good, I think the main reason should be that the temperature of the furnace is not high enough, and there are too many iron impurities in the quenching.
You can ask the craftsman to start with this and see how you can increase the furnace temperature and refine it repeatedly to improve the purity of the iron.
Also, when smelting copper, there need to be infiltrated with other ores, refined iron is no exception, you can try to infiltrate various ores separately, constantly adjust the proportion, and see the impact on the iron quality, although this process is complex and long, but once the research is successful, you can be ahead of others, then the Ren family is no longer one of the world's soldiers, but the world's first soldiers."
The title of No. 1 in the world has great attraction to people who are engaged in any industry.
Although Ren Ruoxi is a woman, she has a strong sense of responsibility for the Ren family, especially after her father resolutely sacrificed himself for the continuation of the family, she felt that the burden on her shoulders was heavy.
She believed in her heart that Qingji had been to the Heavenly God Mansion, and what he said must have some basis, so she was convinced of Qingji's words, and she was determined to continue to increase investment, so that a group of people could concentrate on the smelting of refined iron, and the Ren family would always be invincible in the world's military manufacturing industry.
At this time, on a low hill in the Kasawa area, a peasant woman who was picking mulberry stopped her buddy, put her hand on the canopy and looked into the distance, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Oh, come and see, which adult's convoy is that, the flag of our Wu country has been changed to the dragon and phoenix flag, don't they know yet, why are they still flying the dragon flag?"
A sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl next to her put down the basket, untied the cloth on her head, wiped the sweat on her face, squinted her eyes and looked into the distance, and suddenly exclaimed: "Auntie, you read it wrong, it's not the dragon flag of our Wu country, it's the snake flag of Yue country." ” "What" The peasant woman took a closer look, and couldn't help but change her face greatly: "Oh no, hurry back to the village, tell everyone to hurry up the mountain and dodge, this Yue people who killed a thousand knives, our Wu Kingdom has just been stable for two days, why did they kill again." ” "Hey, it's not like the Yue people have killed it, you see, there are still two big flags over there, but what about the dragon and phoenix flags of our Wu country."
"Where, let me see."
Several peasant women rushed forward in a flock, holding the canopy in their hands, and scrambled to look into the distance.
The line of the team is coming from the distance Shi Shiran, in the middle is more than ten cars, in front of the head of the one hanging a flag, is the snake flag of the Yue country, the left and right wings of the escort of about 200 armored warriors, but it is the dragon and phoenix banner of the Wu country, the banner is facing the wind, the sound of hunting.
This team was none other than the envoy group of the Yue prince Goujian, and the escort warriors on the periphery were sent by Jing Lin.
Gou Jian once seriously injured Qingji, and almost assassinated Qingji under his sword, saying that those ordinary soldiers hated him, that is, when Jing Lin saw Gou Jian, he had the urge to cut off his slender neck with a sword.
However, the two countries will not fight each other, and no matter who wins or loses on the battlefield, it is a thing of the past.
Battlefield affairs, battlefields, people are now holding festivals, if they kill him with a sword, that kind of work, it is a person who has never read a book or a thief with a little head and face who disdains to do it, even if Jing Lin hates him to the bone, as a general of a country, this gentleman's style still has to be maintained.
Therefore, not only could he not move Goujian, but he also had to send people to escort them all the way, of course, there was no purpose in monitoring their movements "Your Highness, you will go to Kasawa in front, and you will soon arrive in Gusu."
Ruocheng, the deputy envoy of the Yue Kingdom, climbed into Gou Jian's car, lifted the curtain and got in.
In the carriage, Gou Jian was closing his eyes and recuperating.
"Well," Gou Jian opened his eyes and smiled slightly: "I'm tired all the way, let's nourish my spirit more."
Why, I feel a little uneasy."
Ruocheng frowned, and said worriedly: "Yes, His Royal Highness was seriously injured Qingji, and now he is personally involved in danger and sent an envoy to Wu State, this trip is dangerous, so the minister is really a little relieved." ” Gou Jian stretched his waist lazily, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a light smile: "What is there to worry about, if I am in Yue Country now, I will be willing to kill me with a sword."
But I took the initiative to go to Wu State, even if he hated me to the bone, he couldn't touch me at all, and he had to spare no effort to maintain my safety, hehe, don't worry, I am very safe in Wu State. ” "Alas, that's what I said, but we have participated too much in the matter of Wu Guo's fight for the king, and His Royal Highness has seriously injured Qingji, and our desire to seek Wu is known to the world, and we can't shirk it if we want to.
Qingji must be hateful, even if he doesn't kill His Highness, but if he uses this as an excuse to put His Highness under house arrest, it will be terrible. ” "That's what I've thought of too."
Gou Jian frowned, and smiled again: "But the Wu army is coming to the city, so we have to take risks."
Qingji has just unified the state of Wu, and the Wu army is in full swing, if the state of Wu coercs the new victorious sharp and brazenly attacks my country, to be honest, the difference between our strength is too great, how can my country be able to deal a blow Now the general of Wu State, Jinglin, is stationed in Wunan, and the two members of the revenge and revenge are Qingji's henchmen and generals are stationed in Zuili and Yu'er City, and the posture put forward has been directly taken by me and the country, what else can we do, as soon as the Wu army arrives, they will retreat into the deep mountains and Daze and deal with them for three years and five years, my father has been in poor health in recent years, and he is often sick, how can he bear to be so difficult and rushing. ” Gou Jian said slowly: "I take the respect of the crown prince, personally go to the state of Wu as an envoy, he Qingji always wants to see him, listen to what I say, this will buy time, well, we have now arrived in Kasawa, according to the calculation of time, General Gao Ru wants to come to the state of Chu at this moment, I hope he can persuade the state of Chu, if there is a state of Chu to put pressure on the state of Wu, Qingji will have to weigh it if he wants to move me again." ” Ruocheng's expression eased slightly, and said: "Gao Ru's trip to the state of Chu should not disappoint His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Now Fei Wuji single-handedly controls the power of Chu State, and there is no one in the government and the opposition to contend with.
This person's surname is good and greedy, and Gao is like the general's favorite, and he will be able to say that he has no scruples.
Moreover, Qingji has already captured Gusu City, but he has neither returned the treasures of Chu State, nor released the prisoners of Chu State, and his heart is unpredictable, and Chu State is about to send an envoy to question, at this time, Chu State also needs the existence of my Yue State to contain Wu State. ” Gou Jian nodded: "Yes, so we buy time for him, and it is worth taking the risk to envoy to Wu State."

He lifted the corner of the sedan curtain, looked out for a while, then sat up straight again, closed his eyes, and said with a smile: "Go back to the car and rest, if you come, you will be safe, everything will wait until Gusu sees Qingji."
I already have some measurements in my heart, Gou Jian is not a lamb to be slaughtered, he is jealous even if he is a fierce tiger, if he insists on swallowing my hedgehog meat, he will have to be pierced all over his body."
Wu's new policy of changing the law has finally officially come out.
The first is the system of selecting officials.
Wu diluted the hereditary system based on patriarchal kinship, and gradually strengthened the scholars who did not have hereditary titles as officials.
According to the system, they enjoy the right to be educated, learn the six arts of etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics, and serve the monarch and the secretary with the skills they have learned, acting as low-level officials, or acting as lower-ranking officers in the army with martial arts and strategies; or travel far away, seeking appreciation, so that he who knows that he has died; or to talk about reasoning with literary talents, teach students, and write books and speeches; or engage in business and commerce with skill.
However, under the bureaucratic system based on the Shiqing system, they never had the possibility of obtaining a high position, and Wu's reform of the law and new policies created conditions for the entry of the scholar class from the root, which provided them with a rare opportunity.
In the upcoming Warring States Period, there are many heroes, such as Wu Qi, Le Yang, Shang Ying, Pang Juan, Sun Bin, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Le Yi, Bai Qi, Fan Sui, Cai Ze, Lian Po, Lin Xiangru, Li Mu, Wang Qian, Li Si and others, or famous ministers, or famous generals, or famous strategists, and they are all from the class of scholars.
Wu took the lead in breaking the old habits, opening up the status of the secretary to this class, appointing people on the basis of merit, so that the new system of electing officials such as meritorious service, recommending and recommending officials, and offering advice and promotion was gradually completed.
This policy, which was originally seriously detrimental to the recipients of inherent interests, would encounter strong resistance regardless of the country in which it was implemented, but in Wu this resistance force was extremely limited, because the secretaries and generals of Wu were almost all newly promoted from the rank of scholars, and they occupied more than eighty percent of the seats of the ruling force of Wu State.
The Wu royal family and the nobles of Shiqing were originally relatively thin, and Gongziguang killed a group of them in order to seize the throne, and most of the other Shiqing moved away from the fiefdom and unified the restraint in the nearby guard in Gusu City, which further weakened the power of Shiqing.
His son Fucha killed a group of Shougu Su again, and when Qingji ascended the throne, many Shiqing, who had a close relationship with Gongzi Guang's father and son, stepped aside again, so the hindrance was minimal.
The second is the system of official appointments, with the separation of civil and military duties and the separation of political and military personnel.
For the time being, the Xiangguo is still in charge of the civil and military, but in terms of the system, it has been made clear that the Xiangguo is the chief of the hundred officials, the marshal is the chief of the hundred generals, the civil and military are separated, and the military and administrative have a clear division of labor, but the post of marshal is temporarily led by Sun Wu.
"The official division is civil and military, and the king's two skills are also", which is an important means for the monarch to control his subordinates.
Because of the division of civil and military duties, the power of the ministers will be dispersed, and the officials of one side of the feudal territory will not be able to manage the army and the people on the horse, and the local tax-paying army and judicial civil service cannot be grasped by him, so he can play the role of mutual restraint and supervision, and effectively prevent and stop the threat to the power of the monarch caused by the minister's seizure of power, and at the same time, it also meets the needs of the political and military division of labor at that time, so that the civil and military talents can do their best.
In this way, the rule of the monarch can be guaranteed, and the civil and military generals can give full play to their respective specialties.
The third item echoes and cooperates with the policy reforms of weakening the Shiqing, reusing the nobles, and separating power between the civil and military.
The first is to transfer the fiefdoms of the ministers of Wu who have not yet had a feudal monarch, or who have been destroyed by Gongziguang and Fucha Tu in the civil war, to other ministers, but to nationalize and become counties, and gradually change from the feudal system to the county system.
At the same time, the new fields opened up by the military tun and the recruited nomads, the new towns that were built, and the new land obtained by opening up the territory and expanding the territory, all of them will be set up as counties in the future, and the imperial court will select the virtuous from among the nobles, and send them to the liuguan, who will be directly ruled by the imperial court beyond the feudal class.
The second is that for the existing feudal lords of Wu State, they still retain their inheritance power and keep the original system unchanged, but because the civil and military have been divided and the powers are refined to different officials, their ruling power in their fiefdoms has been greatly weakened, and they can neither manage the army nor the people, but only enjoy the right to collect agricultural taxes on their estates.
Fourth, civil affairs.
Policies on civil service, civil taxation, land management, and many other aspects are specified in detail.
The well-field system, which had been clearly extinct and extinct in the world, was openly abolished, the private ownership of land was recognized, land sales were allowed, and the land was re-measured by Da Situ, and the landlords paid taxes according to the number of acres of land.
Pay attention to the development of new fields, reward cultivation and weaving, and reduce field taxes.
The fifth item is business politics.
Trade is encouraged, but there are detailed regulations on the types of business that merchants can do business, what they can and cannot sell, and what they can do, trafficking, and paying taxes.
The sixth is to establish a legal code and make it clear to the public.
Define and adjudicate the illegal acts of officials, civilians, and businessmen in all aspects.
The seventh item is military reform.
The reform of the military system has become a unique system, the most important of which is that he once summoned the remnants of the army in the Lu State Xiaoye and announced, "Those who reward military merits and establish military merits can also be knighted."
In addition, there is a military training system for hunting soldiers in the fields in spring and autumn and military training in winter; military discipline and military law systems; military ranks, military knighthood system; the system of troop transfer; military endowment and conscription systems; and the standing army system, and so on.
Most of these changes have been formulated in great detail, and only the fifth item is a code, which is just a bunch of opinions to be revised for the time being.
As a person who has come over, Qingji knows that only the rule of law is the most suitable fundamental way for the development of the country when we have reached the end of the Spring and Autumn Period and are about to enter the beginning of the Warring States Period.
No matter what doctrine the rulers of later generations put on their statecraft, in their bones, the role of the Fa has penetrated deep into their marrow and played a vital role.
Li Yan emphasized the law to make Wei strong, Shang Ying changed the law, and made Qin strong, as long as the law can be adhered to, there will be remarkable results.
It was through the rule of law that the Qin State highly concentrated the country's resources, and it was precisely by rewarding military merits and rewarding the enemy's head that the Qin army was built into a division of tigers and wolves, that it was able to stand out in the sinister environment of the competition between the seven heroes.
On the contrary, the so-called "benevolence and righteousness" of the six eastern countries not only did not make them strong, but instead became a heavy burden and burden on them, so that they looked ahead and backwards, and tied their hands and feet, so that the country accumulated poverty and weakness.
It's just that when the Qin State coveted the world, it established the country by ploughing and fighting, and established its power by torture, which was to immediately fight the world, which met the needs of the country.
However, after the unification of the world, it was when the people were determined and hoped that the rulers could improve their people's livelihood and live a new life.
It is always those who are outside history who criticize history.
Because of the failures and successes of fait accompli, they can easily judge the pros and cons of the policies of their ancestors, but whatever conclusions they draw can only be a hypothesis, after all, history is a thing of the past.
But Qingji is lucky, he is the one who walks into the inside from the outside.
There is still a considerable difference between the law suitable for this era and the later generations, and he can neither rigidly copy the detailed laws formulated by the later generations, nor can he be insane, and in this era, he has to rely on the people of the world to establish the laws of the world, so as to safeguard the interests of the ruling class of the Wu State and safeguard the royal power of his jealousy.
However, legislation is a major matter of the country, because there is little information from predecessors, and some articles of those who advocate the rule of law in the world are mostly about its advantages and disadvantages, exaggerated and exaggerated, involving few specific and micro rules and regulations.

Looking at his appearance, it is indeed difficult to bear such a heavy responsibility, Qingji occasionally goes to him, and when he sees him scratching his ears and cheeks, he can't help but feel anxious for him.
Whenever this time Qingji can't wait to fly to Lu State immediately, and catch Shao Zhengmao, who had fought with Kong Zhongni, to Wu Guolai to be the chief priest for Chizhong, so as not to make him half dead in embarrassment.
However, although there are still many loopholes and deficiencies in these new policies and national policies, Qingji still took advantage of the opportunity of Wu Guoxin's establishment and the least resistance to the introduction of the new policy to push them out.
He doesn't expect to come up with an impenetrable, one-and-done-all plan all at once.
I remember that in his time, "supplementary opinions on the order of so-and-so in such and such a year", "supplementary provisions on so-and-so", and "supplementary regulations on so-and-so" all emerged in an endless stream, not to mention that he, an unprecedented reformer, was not afraid of not being complete enough, he was afraid of not doing it, and the policy was formulated first, the general direction was framed, and then gradually supplemented and improved.
As for the abolition of slavery, those slaves are the private property of others, and Qingji is not the political representative of one class to overthrow another class, and it is impossible to abolish it forcibly.
For example, it is forbidden to buy new slaves, degrade slaves, sell themselves into slavery, and those who have made military merits and invent new agricultural tools can be exempted from slavery.
Qingji's reform of the law and the new policy cost him and the ministers of the DPRK and China a lot of effort, and it is indeed a good scripture to remove the essence and add new ideas.
But if the person who recites the sutra is not qualified, then it becomes a crooked sutra.
In the process of implementation, the ability of the officials to execute, how to adapt to changes, and whether they are competent for their duties have become the most important issues for the success or failure of the law change.
Most of the old people under his command are military generals, and it remains to be seen how capable the newcomers who are now promoted from the scholar clan will be, and it can be assured that some virtuous people will become rare.
The lack of talent has become a heart disease of Qingji.
So much so that when he rushed to the treasure house of the East Hall and personally selected the jewels that were to be brought by the envoys to the Qin State and the Lu State to pay the daughters of the princes, he was still thinking about this problem.
"Fan Li, Wen Chong, to talk about civil affairs, economy, under my command, no one is better at this than them, if these two people defect to my Wu country, it is tantamount to the widow's right-hand man, now the development of Chu State has been different from the original history, and I don't know what these two guys are mixed in Chu State.
How can I think of a way to get them to my Wu country?"
Qingji stood in the treasure house, looking at the dazzling treasures of the Chu State, and remembered the talents of the Chu State South of Ji Mountain, Chu capital Yingcheng.
The originally lively Chu capital is now in disarray, and due to the emptiness of the treasury, the city gate tax has increased nearly tenfold, and there are many fewer people entering the city.
The Jing Chu generation has fertile soil, developed agriculture, and industry and commerce are also very large-scale, and the state of Chu has a large land and abundant national strength, if it recuperates, it may not be impossible to re-emerge in the realm of misfortune, but now the state of Chu makes Yin Fei Wuji anxious for success and profit, and just wants to quickly enrich his immediate interests, pull out the seedlings to help grow, and the heart makes Yingdu even more depressed, and most of the courtiers in the court are now his people, and the king of Chu cannot personally manage the government because he is young, so he can only do nonsense.
Ling Yin's Mansion, more than 100 samurai escorted a carriage just entered the front yard, as soon as the carriage stopped, a saber warrior quickly greeted him, opened the door, and lowered the pedal.
Fei Wuji slowly walked out of the car, dusted off his robe, and Shi Shiran got out of the car.
His face was ruddy, and there was a hint of wine on his body, apparently he had just returned from a banquet.
Someone in the car behind took down two boxes, and without his instructions, they were sent to the back house with ease.
"Congratulations, my lord, Yue Ren has given you another generous gift."
The young warrior glanced at the heavy box and smiled at Fei Wuji.
"Uh" Fei Wuji burped, patted the warrior on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Well, Li Hanna, the old man didn't use the wrong person, you are really clever enough, haha, if Yue Guogao still left his back hand, the old man only showed a slight embarrassment, and he obediently gave a big gift again."
If it weren't for your reminder, the old man would have cheapened him. ” It turned out that this young warrior was actually Li Han, he knew that his husband was gone, and when he entered the Qingji military camp alone to assassinate Qingji, and let him return to Gusu alone, he thought about it again and again, and simply said goodbye to Chu without saying goodbye, and now he took refuge in Fei Wuji's door, and with his talents, he quickly became an indispensable confidant around Fei Wuji.
"The adults have won the awards, the adults have won the awards, the adults, the genre, Fan Li has made a statement to the king again, and the chapter is sprinkled with thousands of words, criticizing the adult's strategy of governing the country, and asking the king to be generous to the people and recuperate."
Before Li Han finished speaking, Fei Wuji was already furious, and said angrily: "Two bastards who don't know the times, the old man doesn't see them any benefit, and he also squeezed out the position of two middle doctors among the hundreds of officials in the court and rewarded them. ” Li Hanyin smiled and said: "These two people don't know what to do, since the doctor doesn't like them, why don't you just send them away, and you can't see them out of sight."
Fei Ji spit out a mouthful of turbidity, and muttered: "These two people, more or less have made some contributions, and their reputation is also good, besides, their positions are low, if the old man goes to trouble them, he will inevitably fall into his own identity, which makes people laugh."
When he said this, he suddenly saw Li Han with a smile on his chest, and couldn't help but be stunned, then pointed at him and laughed: "You kid, but you already have a clever plan in your chest, come quickly, don't show off."
To be continued:
