Chapter 327 Ore
In the special prison where soldiers infected with drug addiction were held, Wang Lang frowned as he looked at the soldiers who were tied up one by one.

"Your Majesty, these soldiers have been like this for four or five days, why is that poppy so powerful, it can make a person like this." Kong Yi said in surprise.

"This is why I forbid the consumption of opium poppies. If the people of the country are contaminated with this kind of thing, then we will be completely finished. From now on, your Ministry of Criminal Affairs will hand over to the yamen of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs of the various places. As long as you find someone selling opium poppies privately, or eating them, you will be arrested immediately. , must not let this thing spread." Wang Lang said seriously.

Kong Yi nodded approvingly, and said, "I obey you!"

Looking at this group of soldiers in extreme pain, Wang Lang didn't have any intention of softening his heart at all. There is no humanitarian spirit here. If these people can't get rid of their drug addiction, they have no choice but to die here.

Wang Lang left here with a gloomy face. How serious the harm of drugs is, he knew very well in his heart that this kind of thing should not exist in this world except for medical treatment.

In troubled times, heavy codes are used. Although Xia Kingdom is still peaceful now, if there is a little carelessness in this barbaric era, all the efforts he has made will be in vain. Rolling heads must also completely eliminate the consumption of opium by Chinese people.

South of Yancheng, downstream of the lake.

After the peasants spent a month mining a large amount of stones from the mountain, the Ministry of Industry began to build the dam.

The terrain of the grassland is flat, and the flow of the big river is extremely slow. If the water drop is not artificially increased, the hydraulic machinery will come in handy.

While the folks were building the dam, Mufeng led the backbone of the Ministry of Industry to study hydraulic machinery for various purposes without sleep or food.

With the experience of building windmills, the principle of hydraulic machinery is similar to this. After making a small model, after testing, it is confirmed that this idea is completely feasible. As long as the dam is successfully built, it can rely on the power of nature to obtain a steady stream of water. power.

In the process of transformation, the hydraulic forging hammer is the best. It can be said that it is not difficult to improve on the basis of the original animal-powered forging hammer. Now it is the manufacture of textile machinery that is getting them into trouble.

Although the country of Xia now has more complicated textile machines, it is not an easy task to transform the manual textile machines into hydraulic drives.

A group of people studied for more than a month, but they had no idea at all. In order not to do useless work, Mu Feng had to put aside the plan of the hydraulic loom for the time being, and started to make relatively simple hydraulic forging hammers and hydraulic mills. .

Due to the sufficient manpower, the dam was built very quickly. According to this speed, Mufeng estimated that it would take another month or so to use it. As long as the dam is successfully built, the production of steel will increase several times.

And in Wang Lang's palace, Jian Ya sat on a chair with a sad face, lowered his head and didn't know what to think.

Wang Lang took a sip of the fruit wine and said slowly, "What! Don't you plan to say anything?"

Hearing this, Jianya smiled awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty, I have been in Yancheng for almost half a year. When will I be allowed to go back to lead the army? It has been such a long time. If this continues, it won't be long. This guy will be able to capture all the humans on the grasslands to the west, and then there will be nothing to do, and I have been really uncomfortable recently!"

"Isn't it impossible for you to continue to lead the army?"

Jian Ya heard the words, immediately became excited, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, do you agree?"

Wang Lang smiled and said, "Don't get too excited, just listen to me."

As if a basin of cold water had been poured on Jian Ya, he sat down on the chair with his head drooping.

"If you want to continue to lead the army, you must agree to one condition." Wang Lang said slowly.

"Conditions, what conditions?" Jianya asked.

Wang Lang said: "I will arrange a military judge in the army. You must have heard of this military judge, right?"

Jian Ya nodded and said, "Didn't Your Majesty arrange a military judge in the bark army? I've heard of this."

Wang Lang nodded and said: "Since you have heard of it, you probably know what this military judge does. Let me remind you first that from now on, generals only have the right to command operations, and have no right to enforce military laws. If a general disobeys military orders The military judge has the right to arrest the general, and according to your previous behavior, the military judge can send you back immediately without asking me for instructions! If you accept this, I will allow you to continue to lead the army!"

Jian Ya's face darkened. With this military judge by his side, even if he returned to the army in the future, he would not be as nourished as before.

"What? Don't you agree?" Wang Lang narrowed his eyes and stared at Lin Jianya.

Lin Jianya, who was extremely entangled, nodded after a while and said, "I agree!"

"Very well, since that's the case, I'll let you return to your army, I hope you won't let me down again." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

Jian Ya stood up and said: "I will never let His Majesty down."

Lin Jianya, who was reinstated as an official, only stayed for one night after returning home, and then headed for the north without stopping with his guards.

After Wang Lang left Jian Ya, he called Li Dahe, who was ranked second in the last exam, into the palace.

"Sir, Li Dahe pays respects to Your Majesty!"

"Li Aiqing, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"I don't know what your Majesty summoned his ministers to do!" Li Dahe asked.

"Li Aiqing, what have you gained since taking office?" Wang Lang asked.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have been studying the law all this time, and I have gained some experience." Li Dahe said in a deep voice.

"Oh! Tell me, what do you think?" Wang Lang asked curiously.

"Your Majesty, when I checked the laws, I found that the laws of my Daxia not only restrain the people of the country, but also your Majesty. I really admire the fact that the prince broke the law and the people of the country are guilty of the same crime." Li Dahe said respectfully. Said.

Wang Lang said with a smile: "The greater the power, the greater the corresponding responsibility. If the prince has no restraint, he can do whatever he wants. Wouldn't it be a mess? Whether it is the prince or other high-ranking people, he must restrain himself. My Daxia is governed by the law, and no one is allowed to violate the law. You must know that there is nothing absolutely fair in this world. All we can do is try our best to protect the rights and interests of ordinary people. Presiding over a fair place, this is the meaning of your Ministry of Punishment."

"Minister, I've been taught!" Li Dahe said respectfully.

"Okay, I didn't ask you to come here this time to talk to you. There are other things for you to do." Wang Lang said slowly.

"I don't know what His Majesty wants you to do?" Li Dahe asked.

"Starting today, I will appoint you as a military judge, in charge of military discipline, and have the right to report directly." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

Li Dahe was startled when he heard the words, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, I just took office not long ago, how can I do such a thing well." "

"Li Aiqing doesn't need to underestimate your own ability. You have been doing very well these days. You and I are optimistic about you. You will definitely be able to do well as a military judge." Wang Lang laughed.

Li Dahe secretly groaned in his heart, this military judge is an errand that offends others, and those generals are easy to get along with, but they will inevitably make things difficult in the future, but Wang Lang has already said this, so he can only respectfully say: "Mr. Follow orders!"

Wang Lang nodded and said: "This time you will be a military judge at General Lin Jianya's place, and report to me about the situation there once a month. If you find anyone who has done harm to the interests of my Great Xia, you will Take it down, including Lin Jianya, and I will send you twenty guards to protect you."

"Your Majesty, how dare I disrespect such a distinguished figure as Zongbing Lin." Li Dahe said in shock.

"You don't have to worry about this, I sent you there, don't listen to his orders, you have to get used to your new identity slowly." Wang Lang said in a deep voice.

With a bitter face, Li Dahe bowed: "Your Majesty, obey your orders!"

"Go back and prepare, and set off in a few days!"

This system of military judges is a bit similar to a political commissar, and a bit like an ancient army supervisor. In order to prevent military generals from rebelling, Wang Lang had to make a bad move.

So meanwhile, in the northern woods.

It took Qiyan more than a month to reach this place full of poppies.

After knowing the dangers of poppies, this area has been completely isolated. The tragic experience of those soldiers who were addicted to drugs and detoxified in Yancheng. With the continuous spread of news, the soldiers can be said to be afraid of poppies. , At this moment, no one cares about it.

Under the protection of surrounding soldiers, Qi Yan and others began to pick these poppies.

These bright red poppies look very beautiful, with a large area of ​​red, maybe the surrounding herbivores know that this thing is poisonous, and there is no sign of being eaten at all, only some insects are flying in the flowers.

It took half a month to pick all the poppies, and Qi Yan asked the soldiers to return all the poppies and uproot them.

He brought a large cart of poppy fruit and returned to Yancheng. He couldn't wait to go back and try the effect of this thing on those experimental products.

At this time, in the dark cellar of the Great Xia Medical Center, several doctors tied an adult test subject to the table, and gestured at the man's stomach with a sharp knife.

Today they are going to perform an operation on this test subject, an appendectomy.

By dissecting a large number of corpses, these doctors already have a good understanding of the structure of the human body. Not long ago, someone died of abdominal pain. After private dissection, it was found that a part of the intestine of this person was infected, and this part of the intestine was infected. The intestines did not appear to have any function, and this matter aroused great interest among doctors.

Today they plan to test whether it will be affected if the person removes this section of intestines. Of course, if the test product dies during the operation, they will not care. There are still many test products. If they die, they will replace them. That's it.

A ring of candles was inserted on the copper lamp stand, illuminating the originally dark cellar brightly.

It's because the eyelids have been blocked and the mouth has been blocked, and the limbs have been firmly fixed.

A doctor looked at Hana who was sitting aside and asked, "Can we start?"

Hana nodded a little hungry and said, "Let's get started!"

The doctor took a deep breath and asked the others to hold the test subject's body to prevent him from moving around due to the pain.

The sterilized sharp knife easily cut a gash in the test subject's stomach, and red blood immediately flowed out from the wound.

The severe pain made the test subject start to struggle violently, and there were whimpers from the gagged mouth.

But his limbs were immobilized, so that he couldn't move at all. Under the pain, the muscles all over his body began to pull out continuously, his crotch was already incontinent, and a foul smell filled the cellar.

At this time, this group of devil-like doctors didn't care about these things at all.

During the nearly half-hour-long operation, the test subject had already fainted. At this time, the excision operation had been completed, the wound was disinfected, and the doctor who performed the operation breathed a sigh of relief after the wound was sutured.

Hana looked at the discarded appendix next to the table, picked it up with chopsticks and held it in front of her eyes, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Feed this thing to those wolves!"

The doctors recorded the operation steps in a booklet, and then left the cellar, leaving the test subject to lie alone in the dark cellar.

In the west, however, the army that conquered the west had an unexpected harvest in the process of capturing the savages.

A team of more than a dozen people found some strange stones in a cave inhabited by savages. These crystal-clear stones shone in the sunlight and looked really beautiful.

And the texture is very hard, and there is a kind of cold touch in the hand.

The soldiers felt that they had found a treasure, and they took all these beautiful stones with them in the cave.

After returning to the camp, he showed off to the rest of his compatriots.

After Lin Shupi heard about this, he immediately fell in love with this kind of stone, and sent troops to occupy the mine and sent people to mine it.

And arrange for the dragoons to return to Yancheng with a piece of this ore and dedicate it to Wang Lang.

With the addition of air power, the speed of message transmission was many times faster. After traveling for more than a month, the dragoons returned to Yancheng in only six days.

But Wang Lang was very excited when he saw the treasures presented by the dragon cavalry.

This kind of crystal clear ore, he recognized the crystal at a glance.

In the absence of glass, crystal can replace the role of glass.

With crystals, both telescopes and microscopes can be manufactured.

Of course, it will be very difficult to polish such a hard thing. Although he wants to make glass, he has not found a suitable raw material formula, and the fired ones contain too many impurities. the value of.

The crystal is different, this natural transparent substance is currently the most suitable material for optical instruments.The principles of telescopes and microscopes are also very simple. He can make these two things as long as he polishes a suitable lens.

The use of the microscope will not be reflected soon, but the telescope is different. This thing is used in the military, which can be said to greatly increase its own advantages.
