Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

The little prince weighed it again and again and finally decided to implement this reform. He understands that although this kind of reform is beneficial to the national treasury, it must also be strictly supervised to avoid the breeding of corruption.

He issued an edict to open some official positions without real power to the people for purchase. As soon as the news spread, it immediately caused an uproar. Many wealthy businessmen and landowners flocked to it, hoping to improve their social status by purchasing official positions.

People began to rush to buy these official positions. Some people thought this was a social progress, while others were worried that it would breed corruption. There is a lot of discussion in the society, and public opinions are mixed.

With the people rushing to buy official positions, the young prince began to consider how to make the system develop more healthily. He decided to use part of the income for national infrastructure, especially the development of mineral resources.

"Grandpa, I want to use the income from purchasing official positions in mining, blacksmithing and other fields to develop the country's mineral resources and create more wealth for the country." The little prince expressed his thoughts to He Yudong.

He Yudong nodded in agreement: "Your Majesty's idea is very good. Developing mineral resources can provide the country with abundant raw materials, increase national wealth, and create more job opportunities for the people."

The little prince launched a specific plan. He decided to search for mineral deposits suitable for mining across the country and guide people to invest and engage in mineral development, so as to promote the rapid development of the country's economy.

"The national fiscal deficit is mounting, and mineral development is a good idea, Your Majesty." Li Xuan expressed support.

As a result, He Yudong promulgated a policy to develop mineral resources. He encouraged people to invest in the mining and blacksmithing industries, provided preferential policies to those brave investors, and also provided training and technical support to farmers and people in rural areas to help them join these industries.

This policy soon spread throughout the country. People invested enthusiastically and devoted themselves to the development of mineral resources. They mined mineral deposits in the mountains and forged iron to manufacture equipment, quickly forming a prosperous industrial boom.

The hardness and quality of iron have always been critical factors in the manufacture of weapons and tools, and the Little Prince has come to realize this. He decided to discuss with He Yudong to improve the quality and hardness of iron to improve the production of weapons and equipment.

In the research room of the palace, the little prince and He Yudong began an in-depth discussion.

"Grandpa, I think the country's equipment and weapons need higher quality iron, so that we can protect the people and strengthen the country." The little prince expressed his thoughts bluntly.

He Yudong nodded: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Improving the quality and hardness of iron is indeed crucial to the development and security of the country. We can conduct some research to explore the possibility of purifying iron and making new alloys."

Subsequently, they carried out experiments and research in an attempt to improve the quality of iron. He Yudong gathered the country's top metallurgists to study how to improve the iron production process.

After a period of time, the research achieved certain results. He Yudong shared their progress with the little prince: "Your Majesty, we have tried different iron-making methods and found some new alloy materials that can significantly improve the hardness and quality of iron."

The little prince was delighted: "This is good news. We should promote and apply these new alloy materials as soon as possible to enhance the country's military strength."

They decided to promote this technology as soon as possible, train craftsmen, and promote the upgrading of the domestic smelting industry. As a result, a new round of technological reforms began in various parts of the country, and the production quality and hardness of iron continued to improve.

With the promotion of new alloy technology, the development of mineral resources is also increasingly prosperous. In a mine, He Yuzhu stood beside the workers and observed the process of mining ore.

"Comrades, you must concentrate, move steadily when digging, and try to reduce the loss of ore." He Yuzhu patiently guided.

A miner asked doubtfully: "Teacher He, will this new alloy cause wear to the tools?"

He Yuzhu explained: "There will indeed be some wear, but the advantage of the new alloy is that it has higher hardness, which can greatly increase the life of the tool. We can reduce the wear rate through some adjustments."

The workers understood and nodded one after another. They began to adjust their actions according to He Yuzhu's suggestions, striving to be more precise and efficient when mining ores.

Not far away, a worker discovered a mineral vein and excitedly reported to He Yuzhu.

"Teacher He, there is a new mine here. The quality of the ore is very good. There should be a lot of raw materials for new alloys!" the worker said excitedly.

He Yuzhu encouraged with a smile: "Well done, this discovery is very important to our technical research. Immediately notify other colleagues to explore and mine together."

The workers acted quickly and began the exploration and mining of the mineral veins in an orderly manner. Under the guidance of He Yuzhu, they used new alloy tools to skillfully collect ore, ensuring maximum utilization of the ore veins.

He Yuzhu felt very pleased when he saw the workers' efforts and cooperation. This kind of teamwork and the application of new technologies has injected new vitality into the country's mineral resource development.

In the Ministry of Industry, craftsmen carrying out He Yuzhu's orders were busy in front of the iron mine. Wearing work hats and holding pickaxes, they began mining operations in an orderly manner.

He Yuzhu walked in the mine and carefully observed the operations of the craftsmen. He pointed out: "Comrades, you must concentrate when digging and do not be disturbed by the outside world. There may be more alloy materials buried in places with good ore quality, so be sure to dig carefully."

After hearing this, the craftsmen nodded and focused more on their work. They are grateful and full of trust and respect for the careful guidance of leader He Yuzhu.

Encouraged by He Yuzhu, the craftsmen became even more motivated. They cooperated tacitly and dug the veins vigorously. The ore was liberated from the veins and loaded into the cart.

He Yuzhu continued to observe, and he noticed that one craftsman's movements were slightly stiff, as if he was injured. He immediately walked to the craftsman and asked with concern: "Comrade, are you okay?"

The craftsman waved his hand and forced a smile: "It's okay, just a slight injury to my hand."

He Yuzhu frowned and immediately ordered: "Stop immediately and find a safe place to rest. We will send someone to take care of your injuries."

The craftsman took off his gloves and looked at the wound on his hand. He said gratefully: "Thank you, Teacher He. I'm fine. I just rubbed some skin."

He Yuzhu nodded and reassured: "Safety comes first. The body is the capital of revolution. You must pay attention to safety when working."

In the mine, workers conducted preliminary processing of the collected iron ore in accordance with the requirements of new alloy technology. Supervisor Li Desheng sternly instructed the workers: "The movements must be fast and the intensity must be accurate. When beating, the impurities in the ore must be separated as much as possible."
