This Song Dynasty is different

Chapter 100: If you’re not dead, just have some fun
Li Xian hurt someone.

He dared to cut off someone's arm in the street. The evidence was conclusive. Even if the gods came, they couldn't save him.

This news made many people in Bianjing Shilin ecstatic, and various gatherings followed.

They drank together in the restaurant, played their hats and cheered for Confucianism to lose an old rival.

They toasted in the brothel and looked at the female prostitute in their arms, smiling very happily.

"Impeach!"

This time no one needs to organize, everyone has a goal.

"Prime Minister Lu, Zhang Xiao, deputy envoy of the Third Department of Salt and Iron, announced that from today on, he is a Mohist believer." A minor official brought the news in disbelief.

Who doesn’t know that Mohism is the public enemy of Confucianism?

Anyone who dares to stand by Li Xian at this time is either a fool or a fool.

Lu Yijian was startled, and then said suspiciously: "Zhang Xiao is not an impulsive person. This matter..."

"The Queen Mother and the officials have returned to the palace." Someone said outside.

It is very rare for the Queen Mother to leave the palace together with the official family. Lu Yijian asked: "Where did you go?"

Don't ask when setting off, that would be a taboo.It doesn't hurt to ask as the prime minister and assistant at this moment.

"He said he went to a workshop in the south of the city."

"Workshop. Why did the Queen Mother go to the workshop?" Lu Yijian firmly believed that everyone has a purpose in doing things, so what was the purpose of the Queen Mother and the officials going to the workshop?
If you want to comfort me, then there is no need to let the two most noble people in the Song Dynasty go.Sending a courtier or a servant can make those craftsmen burst into tears of gratitude, and their loyalty will instantly reach the full value.

So, what did that workshop come up with?
"Prime Minister Lu." An official rushed in excitedly, "Those people are preparing to impeach Li Xian for murder."

Logically Lu Yijian should be happy at this moment, but he stroked his beard and remained silent.

"Prime Minister Lu, we have to make a gesture, right?" the official asked tentatively.

Lu Yijian squinted his eyes, "Where has Li Xian been these days?"

"It said it was in a workshop in the south of the city."

Lu Yijian was silent for a long time, "Today, I have important matters to deal with. If it's not important, please don't disturb me. I won't see anyone who doesn't matter."

"Prime Minister Lu..." the official was stunned, with surprise and regret in his eyes, "This is an opportunity to gain Shilin's favor."

There are so many benefits to becoming a scholar leader. With just one command, the entire class of scholar-bureaucrats can be put to my use.

Many years later, Wang Anshi's reform decree made the scholar-bureaucrats furious, so when they summoned Sima Guang's envoy back to Bianjing to set off, countless people were eagerly waiting.

When Sima Guang returned in a beautiful car, there was cheering all the way.The whole Shilin was willing to serve him at that moment.

But after Zuoshu entered the palace, he was beaten back.

Is the Queen Mother too tough?
Someone roared, "He was killed in the street, witnessed by countless people. Although he was not dead, he was so unscrupulous. Should the Queen Mother still protect him? I will go outside the palace to ask for help!"

"Go, go together!"

The scholars gathered outside the palace gate, and the imperial army reacted quickly and quickly gathered to block them.

Di Qing was on the front line. He and his brothers blocked the attack of a group of soldiers.

"Get out!" Di Qing kicked away a crazy soldier, put his hand on the handle of the knife, and shouted: "If you take another step forward, you will be treason and kill!"

When the scholars heard this, they became timid and took a few steps back, pointing at Di Qing and yelling.

"Thieves join the army and wait to die!"

The tattoos on Di Qing's face are very conspicuous, and together with his handsome face, there is a kind of incomplete beauty.

He looked coldly at the idiots these gentlemen said and chuckled: "If you dare to come alone, I admire your courage. If anyone dares to knock on the door, I will make way for you."

Several scholars blinked, but no one dared to step forward.

Knock, how many years ago was that?
He seems to be an ex-han?
Once you fall into the trap, not only will your own future be ruined, but your children, grandchildren, and relatives will also be implicated.

"It turns out that they are all a group of threshold monkeys!" Di Qing thought of his husband's description of the threshold monkeys.

He is the king and hegemon in the family, and when he leaves the house, he hunches down and pretends to be a grandson.

He thought of what his husband was working on recently, and he couldn't help but feel admiration in his eyes.Looking at these clowns again, I couldn't help but shake my head and said softly: "A bunch of ugly people!"

"someone is coming."

Someone came to the palace, and it turned out to be Zhang Jing, who was in charge of the Imperial City Department.

When Zhang Jing walked outside the palace gate, a scholar shouted: "We want to seek justice."

"We are here to wait for justice for you."

Zhang Jing stood still, and Di Qing seemed to see a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"Today, Marquis Dingyuan entered the palace with important secrets. Some scholars intercepted him and he must be executed according to the law!"

what?
Some people don’t believe it and ask, “What major secret?”

Zhang Jing said sarcastically: "Do you think we should tell you?"

At this time, the prime ministers and assistants were summoned.

As soon as Cao Li saw the Queen Mother, he said: "Queen Mother, if you don't punish the murderer, the public will be in an uproar!"

You are just an old lady with a curtain hanging down, and your reputation is not justified.Now you are protecting a murderer. Does this mean your prestige is too high?
The Queen Mother ignored him and said calmly: "Half a month ago, Marquis Dingyuan led his men to burn coke outside the city. When it was done, molten iron was smelted with coke. The output increased sevenfold, the consumption was reduced by [-]%, and the quality of the iron was even better. "

Wang Zeng slapped his thigh, "Really?"

It was just as I thought, then how could Li Xian do such a thing as killing someone on the street... Lu Yijian's heart moved slightly, and then she was stunned.

"Seven times? Forty percent?"

Wang Qinruo was dumbfounded.

What does this mean?
This means that the iron production capacity of the Song Dynasty will take off every year, it means that iron tools can also enter the homes of ordinary people, and it means that soldiers can be armed to the teeth...

In this era, iron is the last word.

"I saw with my own eyes that Zhang Xiao, deputy envoy of the Third Department of Salt and Iron, was always by his side." The Queen Mother's eyes were deep.

"Every year, the Central Government will save a huge sum of money through this, the price of iron will fall, and the people will be able to afford it. Whatever the generals and officers want, just ask... This is..."

Wang Zeng was extremely excited, "I would like to congratulate the Queen Mother, I would like to congratulate the officials and family, and I would like to congratulate the Great Song Dynasty!"

The ministers and ministers saluted in unison.

"Congratulations to the Great Song Dynasty!" Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement. As prime ministers, they knew the importance of this achievement very well.

"I wanted to reward Marquis Dingyuan for such a great achievement."

"Yes!" Wang Zeng nodded.

No one raised any questions, and even Cao Li, who was in a state of despair, did not speak.

The Queen Mother sighed, "But Marquis Dingyuan declined. He said that I only want to see the Song Dynasty prosper forever. As for personal honor and disgrace, it is just a passing smoke before that."

There was still noisy outside the palace gate.

When the ministers came out, someone shouted: "My lords, how is this matter?"

Wang Qinruo stepped forward as Prime Minister. He and Li Xian did not deal with each other, so everyone was watching him.

"Cough cough!"

Wang Qinruo said, "People who deliver important news must not be intercepted, otherwise they will be executed without guilt. The same goes for intercepting important matters. Marquis Dingyuan will be merciful."

"What?"

Everyone couldn't believe it.

They would definitely question what others said, but this was Wang Qinruo, Li Xian's enemy, and he wanted to kill that traitor.

Where is Cao using it?

Only then did everyone think of Li Xian's number one enemy.

At this moment, Cao Li looked calm, but his eyes were unfocused.

He has been doubting the identity of Li Xian's so-called Mohist giant, and is ready to wait for an opportunity to expose it.

But when this result appeared, he knew that he was wrong.

What is the Mo family best at?
Mechanical art.

Sansi has long said that the art of smelting is over!
No way.

But Li Xian took action and not only found a way, but also a road to the sky.

If this is not the method of the Mohist giant, what else could it be?
Previously, he could still look down on Li Xian based on his status, but now he needed to look up.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Mohist giants traveled all over the world and treated each other equally even with the king of a country.

"Servant Cao!" Someone shouted to wake up Cao Lili. He looked at these angry scholars and said slowly: "If you are not dead, let's have some fun!"

When Li Xian returned home, the first thing he did was take a bath.

Immerse your body in the hot water, lean your head back on the edge, and place your hands on both sides of the barrel.

Li Xian let out a long breath.

too tired.

He closed his eyes and thought about what happened recently.

The Third Division and the Ministry of Industry will immediately submit a request to expand and rebuild the smelting furnace, and the DPRK and China will agree immediately.Subsequently, DaSong Iron's production capacity will gradually soar.

With iron, production efficiency will be greatly improved.

I must have done a great thing!
"Lang Jun, Lang Jun!"

Li Xian hummed, opened his eyes, felt the cold water, and then realized that he had fallen asleep.

"Brother Guoan!"

Outside is Soho, and Laifu is sobbing.

A picture emerged in Li Xian's mind: a little girl holding Laifu's mouth. Laifu did not dare to struggle and could only gently shake his head.

Li Xian got up, got dressed, and went out refreshed.

Su Ho was running in the yard with Laifu, and Xinghua was watching from the side, "Little lady, don't run too fast, otherwise you will get sick!"

"No." Su Ho said no, but slowed down.

Laifu caught up with her, stood up, put his paws on her chest, and stretched out his tongue to lick her face.

Su Ho dodged and smiled.

Li Xian stood under the eaves and watched this scene, suddenly feeling very quiet.

My mind was empty, with no thoughts at all.

Wen Yanbo came, "After the prime ministers and assistants were summoned, they came out and scolded the scholars who gathered outside the palace. Wang Qinruo said it was not guilty of execution, but Cao Lili said he was still alive and had fun! The scholars were quite happy. Dissatisfied, but also very curious, some people are inquiring about what exactly Mr. Wang did in the workshop."

"Improving the art of smelting is a major secret. Without my intervention, the Queen Mother and the Prime Ministers will strictly require the Imperial City Department, the Forbidden Army, the Inspection Department and other yamen to take strict care of it."

Li Xian suddenly smiled, "Even if someone gets the information, do they know how to make coke? What coal is used for coking, how to process the coal, how to burn... how to smelt coke. This is a systematic project, unless Let those spies sneak in, otherwise, there will be no chance of leaking the secret."

"Then the gentleman did it on purpose?" Wen Yanbo asked.

Li Xian said calmly: "You take advantage of my busy schedule to do all kinds of things. Do you really think I have a good temper?"

Wen Yanbo's eyelids twitched, "Sir's temperament... is naturally peaceful."

Zhang Ze is here.

"Congratulations, Lord Marquis."

Li Xian asked: "Why are you so happy?"

"You will know when the Marquis comes out."

Li Xian walked out of the house, and Su Ho followed curiously with Laifu.

Most of the neighbors in Laoya Lane are outside at the moment.

See him come out.

People salute.

"I have seen the giant!"

In October of the first year of Tiansheng, the Queen Mother and the officials recognized the identity of Li Xianmo's tycoon for the first time during their discussions.

This is the first official endorsement of Li Xian's identity.
