Confucian self-cultivation: Scholars start from Daqin

Gao Jing thought for a while, and said: "It's too extreme to confiscate directly... Shao Zuojian's iron weapons have been developed smoothly, and the strength of iron weapons has surpassed ordinary bronze weapons.

Change iron to copper, use copper to mint coins, and then control weapons! "

It is helpless to say that countries began to study ironware a long time ago, and the most outstanding ones in this regard were South Korea and Qin.

Now the world is unified, but the ironware researched, although it can barely surpass the ordinary bronze swords, it is still much worse than the carefully crafted bronze swords.

It can only be said that the bronze wares of the pre-Qin period are proper black technology! .

Chapter 230 Four Wang Wan

Ying Zheng handed a sword that shone with silver and white light to Gai Nie, and asked, "This is the iron sword sent by Shao Zuojian. From the eyes of a sword master, how does this sword look?"

Gai Nie received it, looked it over, waved it a few times, and said, "Good sword! An ordinary soldier can increase his combat power by more than [-]% if he uses an iron sword!"

"There are many iron mines in the world, but few copper mines. At the beginning, Jing Chun insisted on iron research, and now the results have finally appeared."

Ying Zheng pulled out Gai Nie's Yuan Hong, and collided heavily with the iron sword.

"when--"

The iron sword was directly broken into two sections, but Yuan Hongjian was unscathed.

Gai Nie couldn't help but said: "Yuanhong is after all recast from the famous sword Canhong..."

Ying Zheng waved his hands and said, "I understand that the research on ironware has only been done for a few years, but bronze weapons have been developed for nearly a thousand years... It is already remarkable to have this performance.

What's more, what Jing Chun means is that he intends to use iron to make farm tools, which is already strong enough. "

Gai Nie said sincerely: "Duke Jing has the world in mind-!"

Ying Zheng fumbled for the iron sword that had been broken in two, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I want to go for a walk."

Ge Nie didn't know why.

Ying Zheng didn't explain either, he dropped his dagger and turned to leave.

Gai Nie escorted Yingzheng all the way back to the palace, and after Yingzheng began to review the memorial, he waited for a while before leaving.

Once Yingzheng reviewed the memorial, he couldn't stop within three or four hours.

During this period of time, Ge Nie did not need close protection.

……

A remote palace in Xianyang Palace, when Gai Nie came here, he saw a three or four-year-old child wearing a prince's costume, and shouted in a daze, "Uncle is here!"

Ge Nie looked at the child in front of him with a dazed expression.

Seeing that Gai Nie didn't pay attention to him, the child became impatient and hurriedly said, "Uncle, Tianming will definitely talk, don't ignore me..."

As he spoke, he still shook Gai Nie's hand.

Gai Nie was shaken back to his senses, squatted down and said softly, "Tianming, have you finished your homework?"

Tianming's big round eyes began to dodge, and he replied vaguely: "Do...do...do..."

Gai Nie didn't get angry when he looked at Tianming, but got up and pulled Tianming, and continued to walk into the hall.

There was a vague conversation between a man and a woman in the hall:

"Yuliang man..."

"Brother Ge Nie should call me Li Ji..."

……

night.

"Crimson Smoke..."

Yingyinman was lazy, and came out with a panting voice.

Gao Jing put his arms around her smooth back, and said, "I let Fei Yan go out to do some business..."

While talking, a slim figure appeared beside the bed.

Ying Yinman glared at the person beside the bed, pouting and got up to wash.

Gao Jingyang leaned against the head of the bed and said with a smile, "Why are you back?"

Mingzhu held hot water and waited for Ying Yinman to wash, complaining in her mouth, "Can't I come back?"

Gao Jing smiled, but didn't speak.

Yingyinman scolded coquettishly: "At home, you are not allowed to put on such a vicious attitude!"

Mingzhu immediately restrained herself, lowered her eyebrows and said aggrievedly: "The princess is so eccentric... Isn't Yue Ji the same?"

Ying Yinman said angrily: "She herself said that she is a witch, do you have to compare with her?"

As he said that, he gave Gao Jing a sideways glance, and said, "That demon girl has already been doted on by her husband, I can't control it!"

Gao Jing opened his hands with a smile.

Ying Yinman immediately threw herself into Gao Jing's arms with a smile on her face.

Mingzhu was on the side full of envy, but she didn't dare to go beyond.

"You came back just in time."

Ying Yin was in Gao Jing's arms, and said to Ming Zhu: "Father's No. 20 third son is born, when the time comes, you will go to the banquet with me."

Mingzhu was overjoyed immediately, knelt down and said, "Slave, thank you princess."

Gao Jing was taken aback, and murmured: "There are three No.20 sons?"

Yingyinman complained quietly: "Not only that, but also ten daughters... Husband!"

Gao Jing made some calculations and said, "Alright, you're old enough to have a baby... okay, I'll let you get pregnant later!"

Yingyinman was overjoyed in her shyness, buried her head in Gao Jing's neck, and hugged her tightly.

Gao Jing looked at Mingzhu and said, "Tell me, is there anything important for you to come back?"

Mingzhu moved closer and said a few words in a low voice.

Gao Jing frowned, sighed after a while, and said: "A gentleman should not be arrogant about his actions, nor should he praise his merits, in order to treat others with affection!"

This is what Confucius said, a gentleman does not boast of what he has done, does not praise his own merits, the purpose is to maintain a simple and honest original intention.

But how many people can do this?

Ming Zhu understood, and couldn't help but said: "There is no one in the world like Your Majesty."

Gao Jing shook his head and said, "Does the emperor know?"

Mingzhu nodded and said: "The secret letter has already been handed over during the daytime...the arrest department has also taken action."

"Then don't care!"

Gao Jing exhaled and patted the empty side.

Mingzhu's eyes were like water, she changed her clothes and went up...

……

Court meeting the next day.

Ying Zheng was aloof, glanced across the ministers, and said in a deep voice: "My dear friends, do you think my taxes are heavy?"

The ministers looked at each other.

 …  

Wang Wan, one of the three princes, came out and said: "His Majesty the Emperor, since the world was unified and Duke Jing implemented the new policy, the tax revenue has been reduced from [-]% during the war to [-]%!

What's more, the new policy encourages land reclamation, not only does not need to pay taxes, but the empire is the first to distribute grain seeds. Instead of increasing taxes, taxes have dropped in disguise...

The ministers and others don't know why His Majesty the Emperor asked this question. "

Ying Zheng stared at Wang Wan and remained silent for a long time.

Wang Wan looked at each other calmly, without avoiding their eyes.

After a long time, Ying Zheng nodded slightly, and said to Zhao Gao, "Show Duke Wan."

Holding the letter in both hands, Zhao Gao walked around the pool in small steps, and came to Wang Wan to deliver it.

Wang Wan took the letter in a daze, opened it and read it.

The officials in the hall stared at Wang Wan motionlessly, as if they had been cast with a freeze spell.

Wang Wan's expression gradually became gloomy, and she pinched the letter tightly with her fingers, trying hard to control her inner impulse, as if she wanted to deal with it calmly, but couldn't.

The officials couldn't help but wonder what the letter said to make Wang Wan act like this.

Ying Zheng didn't speak, just waited quietly.

After about half a cup of tea, Wang Wan suppressed the emotions in his heart, and said hoarsely: "The minister lost his composure."

Ying Zheng didn't pursue it, but stared at Wang Wan's reaction, and asked, "Ai Qing thinks, why did this happen?"

After Wang Wan was silent for a long time, she knelt down suddenly and said, "I...please resign!"

There was an uproar in the hall!mouth.

Chapter 230 Five

Wang Wan, before the unification of the world, was already an important minister of the three dynasties of the Qin State, the prime minister of the Qin State, and one of the three Dukes of the Han Dynasty today.

Such a person actually resigned in court?

What exactly did that letter say?

Everyone started to be curious, but more, it was still complicated inside.

And anxiety, but also anticipation and joy...the list goes on.

For example, Wang Wan's younger brother, now the deputy head of the household department, kept winking at Wang Wan, but Wang Wan turned a blind eye.

For example, Feng Quji, although he looked calm on the surface, his fingers were trembling slightly... Wang Wan resigned, and the vacated position of the third prince must belong to him!
