The Emperor of Great Chu and the Great Chu people finished this supper.

The tastes in my heart are different.

The emperor was very happy.

But the ministers were so sad that the food was in their mouths, and it didn't feel good.

After I finished my dinner slowly, it was already night.

night.

Danyang County actually changed its appearance again.

During the day, Danyang City is a large stove, almost like burning, with jingling sounds everywhere.

After nightfall, Danyang City quickly became quiet, and only a few blacksmith shops were still working.

However, the blacksmiths did not go home, but came to the deep alley, in some large farmyards, where one or two hundred people gathered together.

The emperor and the ministers were both surprised and followed him to investigate the situation.

They entered the alley.

I found that every household in Danyang County was closed at night.

Expensive iron tools can be seen everywhere inside and outside the house.

No one went to clean up on purpose.

Not afraid of being stolen.

In the ancient times of Yao and Shun, the so-called saint rule, "no way to pick up the remains, no doors to be closed at night" was nothing more than this!

Deep in the alley, in the middle of a large earthen yard, I saw a scholar standing in front of a huge wooden board with a volume of teaching materials in his hand, writing and painting.

"This is the number used to keep accounts. Today, we teach the newly learned addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. A kitchen knife has two hundred cissels, and how many cissels are three kitchen knives?"

The scholar preached.

The rough blacksmiths gathered around, and each of them widened their eyes, following the scholars, clumsyly reading the numbers on the wooden board one by one.

This should be a very simple school.

The emperor and ministers stood behind the crowd of blacksmiths, incredible.

It seems that no matter the elderly, women and children, it seems that anyone can come to learn here.

No one asked them, the outsiders, to go out.

"This...what school is this?"

Taichang Lu Zi was shocked.

"This is Danyang night school. There are dozens of night school in Danyang City, which teach arithmetic, literacy, and how to make iron.

This gentleman is the money paid by the county magistrate. He invited us to teach us ordinary people without teaching fees. If you don’t learn, you will fall behind if you don’t learn for three days.

Many things that I don’t understand from ironwork have to learn here and learn skills. You are outsiders, and learning more is also beneficial!”

An old blacksmith next to him turned his head and looked at them.

The emperor and the ministers were incredible.

A native of Danyang County is actually studying in a night school.

On the Danyang County political achievements list, only a bunch of newly established private schools are written.

They thought they were just teaching a group of young children.

But unexpectedly, the people in the whole city had to learn. Tens of thousands of people were all attending night school.

I don’t have time to study during the day, so I just study at night at night.

"The gentleman here also teaches you how to imitate iron? A scholar who is better than a craftsman who has been fighting iron for a lifetime, can imitate iron?"

Lu Zi was surprised.

"Of course, sir, I don't know how to make a blacksmith, but the county magistrate can do it! He has written a lot of books and asked the gentlemen to read it accordingly.

The county magistrate knows everything. He invented this new type of local blast furnace and steel frying.

He also wrote a book, "Iron and Steel Materials and Principles", saying that adding different things into them will turn into different steel. Let us Danyang blacksmiths learn to invent better steel. If new steel comes out, he will be rewarded."

The old blacksmith is very proud.

The ministers looked at each other.
