The scope of Wang Buxu's amnesty seems a bit too broad.

Throughout the ages, there are two types of people who are absolutely not allowed to receive amnesty.

One is a death row prisoner and the other is a political prisoner.

There are many types of death row inmates, including those who commit murder and those who have committed other capital crimes.

Political prisoners are also divided into many types, including political competition and official crimes.

Now that Wang Buxu has released all except those on death row, it means that they are going to let go of a large number of officials and criminals.

Releasing ordinary criminals would not only be beneficial to the court, but at least the harm would not be that great.

But this is not necessarily the case for these officials. They themselves are a cultural class with knowledge and ideas.

If you have some thoughts when you arrive at the place, although it won't damage your roots, you will definitely get a headache.

"Your Majesty, where is Pingyin County?" Cui Yin, the Minister of Punishment, asked.

"How's the progress over there?" Wang Buxuan suddenly remembered this matter.

The reform of control was still being tested, but Wang Buxian took the time to observe the new institutional model.

Overall, it's still satisfying.

Officials each perform their own duties. Everyone is transferred from outside and is unfamiliar with each other.

In addition, they all came to Luoyang before taking office. The official department clearly told them their responsibilities, as well as who their superiors and subordinates were, and who they were equal to.

These people were indeed not very adaptable at the beginning, but as time went by, everyone got used to it.

The progress of various tasks has been steady, and the efficiency has also improved. Although it is not as much as expected, but as a running-in period, this level is now acceptable.

On the contrary, Wang Buxu paid much less attention to the previous officials in Pingyin County.

If Cui Yan hadn't mentioned this matter, Wang Buxian would have almost forgotten it.

"The result is basically clear. The Ministry of Punishment is sorting out the information. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be reported to the king for a decision within five days." Cui Yin said truthfully.

Wang Buxu frowned slightly and asked, "How many capital crimes are there?"

"There are one hundred and twenty criminals, sixteen capital crimes, and there are twelve Jiao Bu family members or his vassals!" Cui Yin continued.

"Suppress it! You will be convicted next spring!" Wang Buxu said directly.

These people must never be released.

Regardless of personal sentiments or political factors, we cannot let these people out.

Pingyin County is in a state of chaos caused by them, and this account needs to be settled carefully.

In addition to this reason, Pingyin County was also the beginning of Wang Buxu's efforts to rectify the officialdom.

Now, before the rectification has begun, there is a general amnesty. These people were released as soon as they were convicted.

Although there are still 16 death row inmates who cannot be released, but if 104 of the 120 people are released, what is the difference between this rectification and no rectification?

Therefore, both publicly and privately, these people cannot be let out.

But the amnesty will continue, and we cannot deny the amnesty because of people like them.

Then, the only way is to suppress this matter and delay the sentencing.

It will be postponed to the amnesty period before any convictions can be made.

Because the time for amnesty is the time after conviction, not the time of crime.

Therefore, they must swallow this whole thing.

"Nuo, I'm looking for their other charges. There may be some missing ones!" Cui Yin said with a wink.

"Well, you should have this kind of spirit when handling a case. You will never wrongly accuse a good person, and you will never let a bad person go. You would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go. This kind of thinking is absolutely unacceptable." Wang Buxian

He nodded with satisfaction. He liked this kind of person the most. He has eyes and knows how to do things. You deserve to be the minister. You even found such a good reason.

"Your Majesty, King Qi and King Yan are due to come over in the next few days. Do you want to meet them?" Xiao He asked.

"You don't have to, I'll find them a big house in Luoyang, give them more servants, and then they can be his Marquis of Qi and Yanhou in peace!" Wang Buxu waved his hand.

Seeing or not seeing doesn't mean anything at all.

When the two kings went south this time, they took their royal family with them.

With the precedent of Qin Shihuang moving his nobles to Xianyang, the two of them now dare not refuse.

Han Guang has slightly fewer family members. After all, he is not a regular Queen of Yan.

But Qi King Tian Dan is the real Queen of Qi, and the tribe also has the greatest power and prestige in Di County.

Therefore, this relocation basically removed half of the people in Di County.

As for whether putting so many people in Luoyang will have any impact.

There will definitely be some, but it's just a process.

Qin Shihuang moved a hundred thousand nobles and it was fine, but what could he do if he moved half a county?

Therefore, surrendering and spending the rest of their lives in Luoyang is the best outcome for them.

When it comes to this matter, we still have to thank Qin Shihuang for his example.

With the precedent of Qin Shihuang, when the Han envoy proposed that their family move to Luoyang, they did not have the courage to bargain.

Most of the things discussed next are about things before and after he ascended the throne.

Everyone seems to have a tacit understanding and put aside recent government affairs.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you just ignore it, they will still handle it privately if it needs to be handled.

Compared with political affairs, the matter of ascending to the throne is more important.

Besides, there is only half a month left.

Wang Buxu still runs next door after finishing his official duties every day, pretending that he is not the old Wang you imagined.

A large pillar five meters high and two meters thick rises from the ground.

I don’t know if it can work without being hungry, it’s just an experiment anyway.

The pillars are very simple, made of loess, with some kaolin lining inside. This is how iron was smelted before, so there should be no problem.

After letting it dry naturally, the first test began.

A thick layer of coke is spread below, then a layer of iron ore is spread, another layer of coke is spread on top, then another layer of coke, and some limestone is placed on top.

Whether iron training is good or not depends on whether the temperature is high enough.

So Wang Buxian was very clever and asked people to make several self-made fans, all of which are artificial.

If it is feasible, it can be built near the water in the future and use water power to drive the wind turbine.

The upper and lower fires are ignited at the same time, and then artificial air is continuously supplied inside to support combustion. No matter day or night, the personnel take turns to rest.

In order to test whether it could be done in one go, Wang Buxian did not ask anyone to add fuel to it midway.

He needs to know a bottom line before he can consider something more efficient.

The palace is getting busier and busier, and there were rehearsals in ancient times.

The Imperial Guards followed the instructions of the officials of the Ministry of Rites and became familiar with their positions one by one.

Under the leadership of officials from the Ministry of Rites, the Xianyu Forbidden Army and the palace officials began a general cleanup inside and outside the palace.

There are few flowers and grass in winter. Without these colorful things, it will make people feel a bit monotonous.

So the maids started various kinds of needlework, red lanterns, hanging threads, etc.

The Luoyang Palace, which originally looked very downtrodden, now changes basically every day, making it feel a lot more festive.

However, Wang Buxu's thoughts were not on this. Officials from the Ministry of Rites were taking care of everything.

He doesn't know as much as others, so what if he makes a joke?

So, after finishing his official duties, Wang Buxu once again became the old Wang next door.

Calculating the time, this furnace has been burning for almost thirty hours. I still don’t know what it looks like inside.

When Wang Buxu approached the blast furnace, he faintly felt that something was not right.

Although there is no fryer.

But now that I am standing less than three meters away, I don't feel much heat.

He directed the craftsmen to open the slag outlet first.

The result is naturally obvious, no iron slag waste flows out.

Then the taphole was opened again, but again no molten iron came out.

Wang Buxian had expected the failure, but he had to know why he failed.

I looked at the two blast furnaces that were ready for use, another one that was being naturally dried, and two blast furnaces that were under construction.

Wang Buxu couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up. It doesn't matter if this furnace failed, he can start practicing the next two furnaces immediately.
