Let you be a faint king, and you have unified the six kingdoms?

…………

"It's fighting again... It's only been half a year."

"No, the war has never ended, we have been in a state of war with Chen Guo..."

"Oh, there's no way, Wei Guo is ambitious."

"I read in the analysis of the Bauhinia News that it was said that Wei Guo would not see me being strong."

"The state of Qi has fallen, but it will be difficult for the land of Yan... I don't know how many refugees will be born."

The people discussed this matter one after another.

Now the Bauhinia City at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the development of the newspaper is the most developed, and various newspapers are bombarded in turn, and now just a few literati can give some pointers on the current situation.

Many people have expressed concern about this.

There are many more patriots.

In fact, this is true. Those ordinary people just think about how to get through the day every day. It is already very difficult to live, and they have no channels to learn about these major events. They cannot cultivate patriotism as they should.

But it's different now, life is easy, and there are newspapers, so naturally they start to care about national affairs.

In the street, a man in brocade clothes walked here.

He watched the people discussing the war, and he was fascinated for a while. He was Yang Hong who had already become an official.

Although he was not in the top three in this year's imperial examination, he was still a Jinshi.

"...Hoo." Yang Hong swallowed, "I have such a long head, it's amazing."

Talking in a daze, he walked towards the place where the Bauhinia newspaper office was located.

The newspaper staff here already knew Yang Hong, so it was easy for him to let him in.

Although this is just a newspaper office, the security force here is not weak. After all, Ke Wu's personal safety needs to be guaranteed.

This is also related to the high number of Jinyiwei in Bauhinia City.

Although Bauhinia City is large, with several 10 people, there are at least [-] Jinyiwei permanent residents.

Except for those who have jobs.

Many Jinyiwei were assigned the task of protecting the court officials.

Looking at it from another perspective, there is one Jinyiwei in every fifty people.

That's about the density.

That's why Bauhinia City's security has always been so good.

"Students pay homage to Master Ke." Yang Hong found Ke Wu.

"Yang Hong, what do you want from me?" Ke Wu asked, who was currently reviewing some submitted articles.

"I have an idea." Yang Hong said, "That is to collect opinions and suggestions from the people and form a report for the emperor to read."

"..."

Ke Wu's movements stopped, and he looked at Yang Hong: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"Is there something wrong?" Yang Hong asked.

Ke Wu stared at Yang Hong.

Yang Hong felt unnatural for a while.

"...I advise you not to step into the muddy water. Or get the support of your family first." Ke Wu said.

"Well, I know it's unlikely. Because it breaks the family's class monopoly on the common people, but it's useful, isn't it?" Yang Hong said helplessly, he didn't pretend, he also knew that this method would cause the family Dissatisfaction among the gatekeepers.

"Okay, okay, you have to take steps step by step, hurry up and go." Ke Wu hurried away.

"It's not just an opinion, it's also possible for folks to recommend themselves, directly checked by the emperor, and the emperor decides whether to hire or not." Yang Hong shouted.

"Hey!"

Then Yang Hong kicked Ke Wu.

"You want to die, don't you?" Ke Wu said speechlessly, "Your household division law, and this, I don't know what it's called, at least five years later! This is for the sake of doing good work, and it's also for the good of you and me. .”

Yang Hong was helpless: "Five years... I don't know if I can live to that time."

"As long as you don't act like this, then it's fine." Ke Wu said expressionlessly.

"Alas... Anyway, I've already said it, so I feel much better." Yang Hong patted his buttocks and left.

Ke Wu: "..."

Until Yang Hong left.

Ke Wucai sighed: "A drastic change is like poison to a country."

But holding it in my heart is not an option.

"Your Majesty is an enlightened monarch who is rarely seen in the ages."

"If this time, the crisis brought by Wei Xuan has passed, then I will trust Your Majesty and tell Your Majesty these two systems."

It's not that Ke Wu can't believe it.

But this reform is too difficult. On this matter, if Rowling made a wrong judgment—even if all the previous judgments were correct, as long as he made a wrong judgment on these two matters, in an inappropriate time to implement such reforms.

I am afraid it will cause subversion of the country.

As strong as Dagan, the country will also perish!

"This Yang Hong... oh." Ke Wu sighed.

however.

What Kewu never expected was that Yang Hong really went to find Zhao Yang.

At this time, Zhao Yang was in the Academy of Engineering.

The development of gunpowder has fallen into a bottleneck. After several generations of innovation, the bomb bag has become the best weapon, but it is very difficult to go further.

Zhao Yang specially invited Mozi, a contemporary Mohist.

Mohism is very traditional. Even after Emperor Wu of the Han respected Confucianism and deposed the Hundred Schools, the Mohist School secretly used the name of "Mohism", which was different from the rest of the Hundred Schools of thought.

The rest of the schools of thought are abandoned schools, leaving only the knowledge integrated into the Confucianism, so that the Confucianism is Confucianism on the surface, but in fact it is a miscellaneous school.

"I met Zhao Shoufu." Yang Hong found Zhao Yang and expressed his previous thoughts.

For such a short distance, Yang Hong thought of more.

"You can get a small box. Encourage the officials to inform each other, and encourage the common people to recommend themselves or give their opinions."

Zhao Yang listened to him for a long time and didn't pay much attention.

But Mozi Mozi was very interested and said, "I can make such a box. After that, let's have a good chat."

"Of course I'm very happy." Yang Hong saw that Zhao Yang was not interested and was a little disappointed, but he still said to Mozi Mozi with his hands clasped.

Then Yang Hong left.

And Zhao Yang continued to chat with Mozi Mozi: "Mozi, tell me, is there a possibility to raise the power of this explosion to another level?"

Mozi Mozi pondered for a while: "I have an idea, but whether it can be implemented is another matter."

"Oh? What is it?"

"That is to suppress the force in other directions, and then let the force of the explosion converge in one direction—there is only one direction."

Zhao Yang and Mozi were discussing.

Chapter 137 Luo Mai is afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will make him retreat

Mozi Mozi put a strange device in the hands of a first-class master.

First-class masters are a little scared.

No matter how good your martial arts are, you are still afraid of bombs, but now, that device has gunpowder inside.

"Don't worry, there isn't much gunpowder," Mozi said.

"Hmm..." The first-rate master nodded.

"Prepare."

Mozi lit the fuse.

The leads quickly burned into the device.

Smoke begins to emanate from the device's only exit.

Suddenly, the first-class master suddenly felt a wave of recoil, and hurriedly used his internal force to counteract it.

And from the exit of the device, a round stone flew out.

It showed a parabola, falling more than one meter away.

Mozi Mozi: "..."

Zhao Yang: "..."

"It doesn't seem to work."

"Don't rush, take your time, this at least provides a new research direction, let the rest of the craftsmen do the research later."

Zhao Yang rubbed his eyebrows.

"Okay." Mozi nodded, "Zhao Shoufu, I have an unfeeling request here."

"Master, please tell me." Zhao Yang respected Mozi very much. Mozi of this generation is superior to Zhao Yang in terms of technical strength.

Being a strong man in the same field made Zhao Yang's respect for Mozi even higher.

"Today's imperial examination system, maybe some changes should be made." Mozi said, "For example, add some scientific research on mechanism techniques."

"Mechanism...? This is not easy to do." Zhao Yang said subconsciously, "This mechanism is not something ordinary people can learn."

"It's good to learn theory, but it's actually military industry. We need it so much now. Wei Guo and Xuan'e are not easy to fight."

"That's true... But, even if the imperial examination system is added now, it will take four years for the imperial examination."

"Maybe His Majesty will open Enke?" Mo Zi smiled.

"Okay, let's have a good chat later." Zhao Yang agreed, and what he never expected was that such a simple chat would lead to a reform of the imperial examination, which had already been fueled by the aristocratic family.

Mozi also bowed his hands and saluted to express his gratitude.

And he said in his heart: Well, my task is completed.Now I can free up time to study carefully...

He has a lot of things to study, the use of gunpowder, and the box that Yang Hong mentioned before.

Although he is a Mozi of the Mohist school, how should I put it, only the head of the family knows that rice and diesel are expensive, and money is indispensable for apprentices of the Mohist family to practice their skills.

Do you need a lot of money to do this...

…………

Luo Lin didn't know it at this time, because gunpowder appeared in advance, and because of the special situation and environment, the musket derived from gunpowder technology was developed long before his original world.

You know, it is 500 A.D., and in the original world, the earliest musket, the fire gun, was invented in the Song Dynasty.

This directly spanned the two great eras of the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

In fact, this is very common in this side world.

Since the establishment of the Seven Kingdoms situation, they have begun to compete with each other.

For example, Luo Lin's warships at sea caused King Wu to pour a lot of money into developing powerful warships.

The seven countries are all open books, and the national strength, technology and system that come out of the book.

I am afraid that I will fall behind others.

Another example is Jin Yiwei, who is now in charge, this thing is even more outrageous, and Luo Lin doesn't know how the founding ancestor of Qian Kingdom came up with it... I'm afraid he didn't take Zhu Yuanzhang's template.

Didn't this thing only appear in the Ming Dynasty...

So is the imperial examination system.

In short, the feature of this fictional world is the seven internal scrolls, and the system and technology are developing at a speed faster than that of Rollin's world.
