Fengshen Wendaoxing

test?

interesting.

Lu Chuan looked at him, thought for a while, and said: "There is a small dispute in the workshop of the Ministry of Industry at the back. If you can solve it within half a stick of incense, the government will give you a ministerial position, and the other depends on your performance. How about it?"

Ding Ce said, "A moment is enough."

Lu Chuan smiled in surprise, and said, "Interesting!"

A stick of incense is about half an hour, and a quarter is fifteen minutes, which is half a stick of incense.

Half a stick of incense?

This person is really crazy, of course, maybe he has real skills.

Ding Ce asked, "Where is the workshop of the Ministry of Industry?"

Lu Chuan smiled: "Come here, burn incense, and take this gentleman to the workshop of the Ministry of Industry."

A guard came in and led Ding Ce away.

Another guard came in with a censer with a stick of incense in it and put down his desk.

Only Lu Chuan and the big man Guo Chen were left in the hall.

Lu Chuan asked, "Guo Chen, what's your relationship with Ding Ce?"

He could tell that these two were dominated by Na Ding Ce.

However, he saw that Guo Chen's breathing was long, showing extraordinary internal strength, but he actually listened to an ordinary person, so they naturally had something to do with each other.

Guo Chen said: "My lord, we have known each other since we were young, and we are sworn brothers."

Lu Chuan suddenly understood, and recalled Ding Ce's confident appearance just now, and asked, "Guo Chen, do you think your eldest brother can finish it in a quarter of an hour?"

Guo Chen said decisively: "Yes!"

Lu Chuan couldn't help being a little curious, and asked, "Is that why you trust him?"

"My lord doesn't know something. My elder brother went out to find famous teachers when he was young. He is familiar with the art of war and strategy, and he has the talent to embrace the world."

Guo Chen said: "He never does anything he is not sure of, so since he dares to say that, then he can definitely do it."

Lu Chuan nodded after hearing this, and said to himself: "It seems that the government may have found a treasure. The name is familiar, but I don't know if it is someone on the list of gods..."

There are people on the list of gods, immortals, demons, and gods. As for this Ding Ce, he just thinks it sounds familiar, but he really can't remember it.

He is a human being, so it is impossible for him to still clearly remember the names of all the characters in Fengshen after so many years.

How great it would be to give him an original novel of the Romance of the Gods when time travelling!

time flies.

Accompanied by the light smoke curling up from the incense burner, the stick of incense also burned shorter and shorter.

Seeing that it was almost halfway through, Ding Ce was led back to the main hall by the guards suddenly, with a calm expression on his face.

Guo Chen went up to meet him, while Lu Chuan cast a questioning look at the mansion guard, who nodded secretly.

Ding Ce said: "Master, I have solved it."

Looking at Lu Chuan above the hall, Ding Ce's eyes flashed with surprise.

It was the first time for him to enter the workshop of the Ministry of Industry, and he saw several display shelves inside, with tools of different sizes placed on them.

Although I don't know what effect it has, but combined with what this Palace Master Lu has done before, it should be a tool that can improve people's livelihood.

It's just that he didn't have time to look at it due to time constraints, but he did have some admiration for the palace master, gathering craftsmen to make things useful to the people.

Lu Chuan glanced at the incense burner beside him, there was still a little more than half of the incense in the burner.

"Okay, Ding Ce, you've done a good job. The government has honored its promise and appointed you as the Minister of the Industry Department of Qishi Mansion."

Lu Chuan got up and said with a smile: "The entire Qishi mansion, except for the mansion, is composed of four ministers. If you do well, then the Ministry of Agriculture will also be entrusted to you to take care of it."

Anyway, those two underlings can't do it, so it's better to be Ding Ce's deputy.

Ding Ce leaned forward and said joyfully, "Thank you Palace Master."

Although Lu Chuanxian is famous outside, he still believes in his own eyes, so he came to Qishi Mansion today with the mentality of trying.

Unexpectedly, Palace Master Lu really kept his promise and let him be the director of a department right after he arrived, which was beyond his expectation. It seems that his virtuous reputation is indeed not groundless.

"Um!"

Then Lu Chuan called Wei Shang again and asked him to try Guo Chen's abilities.

The result made him quite satisfied. This Guo Chen has the strength of Wu Dao Wuji Realm. Although he is not Wei Shang's opponent, he still persisted for nearly a hundred moves before losing.

A few days after Lu Chuan accepted the two, he secretly took the blacksmith from Donghai out of the city to survey around Chaoge City, looking for iron ore.

This imparting of skills naturally requires a demonstration, and the demonstration requires raw materials, otherwise, even a craftsman with ingenuity will be hard to cook without rice.

Three days later.

In a small hill west of Chaoge City, Lu Chuan cast a spell and dug a hole one foot wide and three feet deep.

"Palace Master Lu, we have found iron ore." Craftsmen from Donghai came out holding the ore.

This is when they surveyed a small iron mine, and indeed they mined iron ore and transported it to Qishi Mansion.

After obtaining the raw materials, the artisans of Donghai began to refine, smelt, and forge iron. During this process, these skills were also slowly learned by the artisans of Qishi Mansion.

This matter became the secret of Qishi Mansion.

Only a few important people know that the workshop is also built separately, and the craftsmen who learn the iron-making craft are all carefully selected, and they live and eat in Qishi Mansion, so no secrets will be leaked.

Time flies.

When the ironmaking technology was gradually passed on to the human race, it was soon the end of the year again.

"Ding Ce, you have to watch over here. The mansion needs to go home, and Guo Chen will stay to inspect the mansion."

Lu Chuan handed over this matter to him. Shen Gongbao had already reminded him of this matter. If he didn't go back again, his master might come to grab his ears.

Of course, there was also a reason why Lu Chuan was forced to marry by his own father for not going back, which made Lu Chuan feel dizzy.

In addition, Ding Ce is indeed a capable person. In just a few days, he managed the Ministry of Industry in an orderly manner and took on a new look.

Later, we talked a few more times, talking about astronomy, geography, medical divination and astrology. Anyway, Lu Chuan read a lot of books. In the end, Ding Ce was finally impressed by Palace Master Lu's talents.

Ding Ce became Lu Chuan's confidant.

In fact, although Wei Shang has been with Lu Chuan for a long time, he is still not Lu Chuan's confidant, because Lu Chuan knows that he is Di Xin's person.

For Di Xin, Lu Chuan has always had complicated feelings.

On the one hand, he is a domineering, far-sighted human emperor who took over the mess left by his ancestors and feeds the people who work hard to keep their ancestors' inheritance.

Dixin is a charming person.

As long as he has seen his real appearance, there are few people who are not impressed by the king-like spirit in him.

On the other hand, he killed his wife and son again.

He once partnered with Daji and brutally killed Queen Jiang by gouging out her eyes and branding her hands.

You must know that Queen Jiang is his first wife. The virtuous Shude married him, slept with him for many years, and gave birth to two sons for him.

That's not all, afterward he even wanted to kill his two sons, Yin Jiao and Yin Hong, if Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi hadn't rescued him, those two sons would definitely have quit.

As the saying goes: Tiger poison does not eat children, he can't think of why Di Xin can do such a heinous thing.

Is this also for the sake of bad reputation for acting?

Or set up a scheme to attract the four princes to come, kill two and trap one, so as to kill the tiger and shock the wolves, and solve the dangerous situation of Yin Shang being surrounded by wolves?

Lu Chuan doesn't know what the truth is, and there may be unknown misunderstandings, but maybe this is a game of Di Xinbu, using his wife's life...

The emperor he met was wise and powerful, but the murder of his wife and son was a stain on his body that could never be washed away and a thorn that Lu Chuan couldn't care about.

Not fatal, but persistently uncomfortable.
