The envoys of Chu and Wei countries believed that they had obtained what they wanted, and at the same time they also received the guarantee that the Mo people would not go to work together to serve another country, and were satisfied.

Sometimes, even if the truth is right, it will be implemented.

The two countries of Wei and Chu each have their own difficulties in their own reforms, and the "righteousness" that the Mo people were too radical can also be said that as long as this "righteousness" is still there, the monarchs of all countries cannot use the righteousness of the Mo people to change.

The envoys from both countries stayed in Pei County for a short time and chose to leave before the autumn harvest.

Shortly after they left, the Xuanyi tribe led by Shi once again pointed out that he had fought a second verbal battle with Lie Yuko on the issue of "cosmic".

This time, the mouth fight brought this legendary Lie Yuko, who could move against the wind, into the concept of Mozhe.

It is applicable to the concept that was similar to the time and space view of Mo during the Warring States Period, saying that "Jingchu is not without things, but is called the south, which is mostly the south."

This is an argument that explains the concept of relative spatial position, and Lie Yuko refutes this.

Lie Yuko had already read the tampered "Shan Hai Jing" circulated by the Mozhe. He had a lot of complaints about the concept that the earth under his feet was round, but he could not refute it from other issues. He had to think that the logic was inconsistent in the Mozhe's logic.

He asked Mo back, if the earth under his feet was round, then he kept walking south and passed the so-called extreme, but I did not change my direction.

So, in fact, I was walking north, but I did not change the direction of walking south, so if the earth was round, then would the Imperialist think that north is the south, and south is the north?

This is a good answer but difficult question, and it is also a question that makes Shi extremely happy. It is obviously a little closer to the philosophy of "destroying people without tirelessness".

In addition to Lie Yuko's writing to refute, hundreds of schools of thought, including Yang Zhu, Confucian scholars, Lao Dan's disciples, etc., also expressed their views, either agreeing or opposing them.

After the envoys from Wei and Chu left, Shi was busy with village schools and writing articles and talking, but he didn't know the Spring and Autumn Period.

One day in late autumn and winter, he had just finished writing an article about how to refute Le Yuko's questions. Gong Zaoye pushed the door open and saw Shi sorting out the paper, and asked, "Is it finished?"

Shi shook his wrists and looked at the scar on Gong Zaoye's face. He wanted to ask who left the scar. After thinking for a long time, he still held back and asked, "What happened?"

Gong Zaoye sat aside and smiled and said, "The big thing. Now the autumn harvest has ended and the winter wheat has been planted. Through the craftsman association of the Three Jins, many craftsmen who can wrought iron have been found, but they don't seem to know the way of melting and annealing you mentioned. Toward the south of the mulberry, there are ores, and the black stones there can also burn, and you have everything you said. Now that the people are busy late, your Xuanyi tribe has explained the truth clearly, and it's almost time to do this."

Shi rubbed his hands and asked excitedly: "The craftsmen from the Sanjin have arrived?"

"Here, it's just that they haven't heard of the iron smelting method you mentioned."

Even though he said this, Gong Zaoye did not doubt Shi's words. I believe that since Shi said it, he would be able to do it.

Iron tools play the most important role in the "paradise" of "speaking and inference". Whether they can use cheap methods to smel agricultural tools can also be related to whether the ink-speaking and inference can be established.

At this time, through Sumai and two-season rotation, Mozhe's prestige in Pei County temporarily reached a small peak. Soybeans were harvested in the second season of this year, and Mozhe's oil also opened up sales in Taoyi. A large number of soybeans were purchased by Mozhe, which also brought a lot of income to the farmers.

The people of Xuanyi tribe have already explained all the truths that can be explained clearly. It is the time when people's hearts are boiling. If they don't take advantage of the opportunity to smel iron, it would be a waste of time.

The Sanjin used iron earlier, but apart from meteorite iron, the earliest artificial iron was block iron.

When the Sanjin cast a criminal cauldron decades ago, it was in the name of military taxes that it collected a large amount of iron from the people. The level of iron smelting in the Sanjin was still acceptable, especially in the next few decades, the level of iron smelting in South Korea will continue to improve.

Block iron smelting and furnace iron smelting are in two different directions.

The furnace melting iron is suitable for making large quantities of agricultural tools, making good enough refractory bricks, building a curved thermal reflector, and dividing the fuel and iron in two rooms without contamination. Then, the stirring method can be used to obtain cooked iron.

Among the ink masters, there are also a bunch of potters. As long as they understand the principle, they can make agricultural tools in batches by melting iron and high-temperature annealing kilns. Pig iron without annealing is still too brittle, and there is no problem in making agricultural tools if the fire is removed.

Tao Fan, you Fan, Tie Fan, and various casting methods can be done as you want. There are many technical handicraft inks that have accumulated many technologies from the bottom, and they are one of the most precious wealth of the Mohist school at this time.

The steps of furnace melting iron, annealing, or stirring and decarbonizing to cook iron are completely different from the block iron smelting method in Sanjin. However, these first batch of blacksmiths in Zhuxia can still be used to teach some iron forging and shaping techniques.

At this time, pig iron can only be cast but not forged, while the arc surface reflection and iron dye separation can be forged. We hope to cultivate a group of qualified forging craftsmen. Those craftsmen from the Sanjin craftsmen who came from the iron smelting from the Sanjin are the best candidates.

Since Gong Zaoye came forward to find Shi, I think the other senior executives who were Mozhe have arrived. Shi cleaned up and followed Gong Zaoye to another room.

The craftsmen from the Three Jin Dynasties had a strong accent, and they were also someone who only knew the Song and Lu dialects. They didn't quite understand what they said.

However, many of the Mo people know dialects, and there are many people from the Three Jin Dynasties. If you talk a little, you will know that these people are very happy to be here.

They are not from the craftsman association, but some of the morals and the ideas of the handicraftsmen are in line with the ideas of the handicraftsmen. In addition, the current Momen is rich and is employed with gold, so these people are naturally satisfied.

Since he received the money from the Mozhe, he had to help the Mozhe. A craftsman roughly heard that the Mozhe wanted to melt iron and smel iron, and shook his head and said, "I'm afraid there is no such iron smelting in the world."

"Whenever iron smelting is used, the ore and charcoal must be burned together, and a rough lump is burned, then the debris inside is squeezed out bit by bit with a hammer, and finally it becomes soft and then charcoal is used to beat it..."

"I have never heard of it before, just like you ink-smelting a copper."

The Mozhe trusted Shi's ideas very much and smiled at what he said to the craftsmen. People would not believe many things before Shi was proposed.

I looked at the thick arms of these craftsmen, and thought that the accumulation of hydraulic mills and other things was enough to make hydraulic bellows and hydraulic hammers. I’m afraid your arms won’t have to be so thick in the future.

After hearing the craftsmen's doubts, the rest of the ink masters asked the iron ore they had collected on the hills south of the Sang.

As soon as the iron ore was taken, the craftsmen immediately showed a satisfactory luster in their eyes.

Even if you can't speak, you can see it through their expressions.

Sure enough, after the craftsman's words were translated by the Mozhe, it was easy to understand that the craftsman meant that these iron ores were good and could be used to smelite.

Shi did not answer, but nodded at the insider behind the people who knew the inside story, and cheers suddenly came from behind.

There are many such iron ore between Pei and Peng. Xuzhou was originally a heavy industrial mining city in later generations, and there were a large number of coal mines in the Weishan Lake area that had not yet been formed. Iron smelting here in the Han Dynasty.

Now the Yellow River has not been diverted. It has abundant water and grass and fertile land, which is enough to support a large non-agricultural population.

Go north to Taoyi and southeast to Hangou, and the geographical location is also well-connected.

Everything is ready, and the only difference is the iron smelting furnace mentioned early. It can even be said that the Mozhe has been practicing etiquette in Pei County for this purpose for a long time.

Since iron ore can be made into pieces of iron smelting, it is not a problem to use it as furnace melting iron.

He said to the craftsmen: "The ink master knows the will of heaven, and he has his own way. I just ask you, if the ink master makes soft iron, it is the kind of soft iron that does not need to be beaten and has no impurities. Can you make it into the shape that the ink master needs?"

After the ink-speaking Shi's words, most craftsmen were surprised and did not answer Shi's questions, but instead asked Yu Shi's assumptions.

The iron smelting block is sponge iron. The temperature is too low and it is not even time to melt. A large amount of charcoal, slag and iron are fused together and need to be constantly beaten to remove impurities inside.

This thing can be used as weapons, but it is really inefficient to make agricultural tools.

Only one blacksmith said: "If you can really have soft iron that can be used without pounding, I can smash the shape you want."

He couldn't say anything, but he was very happy to ask some questions about this person and what he had created.

This craftsman was born in Jin, Gongyi. Gongyi belonged to Wei at this time. It was originally considered the capital area of ​​the Zhou emperor. Gongbohe, the former Republic administration, had his original fief in Gongyi.

It was once the capital of Zhou, and was also between Wei and Zheng, and the orthodox Central Plains, with advanced technology.

The craftsman said that he had made iron turtles with block iron, but he felt that the level of the iron turtles could be made with block iron was no longer low.

Iron turtle is a rare iron farm tool that has appeared in some of the most Central Plains of the San Jin Dynasty. Tools such as turtle have appeared long ago, including copper and stone.

It looks like a concave and concave character, and the crescent blade is like a crescent blade. It can be used to dig holes and weed. In fact, the effect is similar to that of a shovel.

However, the turtle cannot turn over the soil, and the shovel can turn over the soil. It may be because the bronze is too brittle and the block of iron can make the shovel light.

If you look for the next step, you can use block iron as a turtle, which is quite satisfactory.

Shi asked a few more strange questions, but the craftsmen could listen to a rough answer, either appropriate or unrelated to them.

He asked strangely, but some of the ink masters heard the true meaning of strangeness.
