In this era, scrap iron was almost useless and had to be thrown away. But Chu Qing recycled the scrap iron and made Zhang Mingyu a pair of swords.

Therefore, scrap iron could not be used before, but it can be used now. Baijiaxing said that it did not collect scrap iron, so what about the iron? Is it really scrapped?

"Can you enter their blast furnace area?" Chu Qing asked.

"No, the control is very strict now. They say they are afraid of losing iron ore and iron ingots. We are not even allowed to enter. Their blast furnace was made under your watch, by the boss." Baijiaxing said.

"Who are you guarding against?" Chu Qing thought thoughtfully.

"You should pay more attention during this period to see if they have any scrap iron coming out, and where their pig iron ingots have gone. Don't ask yourself, let those people go," Chu Qing ordered.

Now that he was a useless person, Chu Qing returned to the city helplessly. He took Lao Zhao with him and let him look at his miserable face every day, annoying him to death!

Chu Qing's life was boring, but Xiaobao was very carefree. He became famous in one battle and was very popular in school. He went in and out with a bunch of older kids every day, so that no one in their Class D dared to find trouble.

Wu Zhicheng and Qian Jinhong have never caused trouble to Xiaobao since they reluctantly handed in the "Reprimand" with Meng Xianchao. They have been somewhat alienated from Meng Xianchao recently.

It’s understandable when you think about it.

Xiaobao's mother beat Meng Xianchao's mother and it didn't matter. What does it mean? It means that the Meng family can't deal with others, so even if they can't lose face and flatter Xiaobao, they can't follow Meng Xianchao to offend him every day.

So while they maintained the necessary closeness to Meng Xianchao, they turned back and continued to fawn over You Zhenghang.

You Zhenghang didn't take it seriously. In his eyes, merchants were just merchants and could not be allowed to live in a refined society. So what if the Meng family were imperial merchants? His grandfather was a third-grade Hanlin scholar!

Who is a Hanlin bachelor? It is the emperor's "private person", equivalent to the emperor's exclusive adviser. My father also went to Huai'an County in Jizhou to serve as the county magistrate.

With a family background like my own, how can these rabble be compared?

But having said that, although Hanlin bachelors have a distinguished status, they are also noble. For the sake of reputation, they do not engage in business and only rely on their salaries to survive.

Therefore, You Zhenghang is particularly dissatisfied with Xiaobao. Xiaobao is not a wealthy businessman, but his family has a lot of property. He doesn’t even have a father, but he has a mother who is an official. He is still a child, but he can enter

State studies.

How annoying this kind of person is! Smart children are the most annoying! I used to be "other people's children", but now I am envious of other people's children.

Old people often say that people are not afraid of not having anything, but they are afraid of having something. This is the mentality of You Zhenghang. The former genius has now been robbed of his limelight by a childish kid.

Let's start from the morning class. The content of today's class is to discuss the article that the teacher asked to do yesterday. Each student has to read out what he thinks is the best paragraph and tell what is good about it.

The title of yesterday's essay was: Border Guards. Just these four words, feel free to use them.

You Zhenghang wrote about the responsibilities of border guards, and that discipline should be strengthened and refined; Xiaobao wrote that border guards should be given the same treatment as frontline soldiers, and their psychological changes should be taken into account.

There were also students who praised the great achievements of Daxuan's border defense heroes in the past. Of course, the largest number of students were scumbag students who did not turn in their homework.

It should be said that these students who submitted their homework have worked hard. No matter which aspect they discuss, it shows that they have some insights into the country and the army, and they have also checked a lot of information for this purpose.

Not to mention how good the article is, my attitude towards learning is still correct.

Mr. Shen does not have very clear requirements for students. Because at the current level of students, learning to write is at an early stage, and being able to incorporate insights is considered a standard.

You Zhenghang's articles can be said to be the best in the class. He is worthy of being a descendant of Hanlin bachelors. He has a family background, quotes classics, combines current events, enumerates, and compares. He is very insightful. His writing style is also fluent.

Xiaobao's article is also good. It is more emotional. But one thing is that it also talks about the hazards that can easily cause changes in the mentality of soldiers, as well as the corresponding solutions.

Comparing the two, You Zhenghang's article did not take into account that the army, as a state machine, is composed of flesh-and-blood people, and tended to be cold. Especially when it came to suggesting methods of punishing violations of military discipline, there were even "homesickness remarks, some Those who disturb the morale of the army will be killed."

Xiaobao, based on the purpose of soldiers protecting their homes and the country, emphasized that the army should set up an "advisory envoy" position, which can be filled by the deputies of officers at all levels.

When soldiers are homesick, afraid of war, lack of supplies, etc., it can provide psychological guidance and confidence to the soldiers, thus making the army more united.

Xiaobao wrote in the article: "I heard that the battle between General Hong and the Voss Cavalry was extremely difficult and morale was low. At that time, General Hong said: 'It is the mission of our soldiers to defend the country and resist the enemy! If we don't sacrifice, why should we sacrifice ourselves? Dear fellow countrymen? Why are you fighting? Not only to defend the country, but also to protect the family! We must fight to show the majesty of Daxuan! Is there a disparity in strength? No! If one finger has no strength, we clench it into a fist, even if it is a stone, Our iron fist can crush it!'"

"Such bold words and ambitions have boosted morale. However, if this kind of words are mentioned in daily training and become a unified thought among soldiers, won't our army be able to reduce the fear of war from the root?" Correspondingly, if ideological guidance is sufficient, camp roars will not easily occur."

You Zhenghang's article emphasizes running the army according to law, running the army with strict discipline, and making the army independent of the people; Xiaobao's article reflects his understanding of "country" and "army" and clarifies the necessity of construction thinking and unification of thinking. .

Mr. Shen gave full affirmation to both articles. The two children were able to think so profoundly at such a young age. Even when faced with the students who were in the upper class, they were no less willing to give in.

But Mr. Shen also expressed his opinion. He believes that the army comes from the people and the people are the foundation. Therefore, the ideological construction of the army is indeed necessary, but military discipline must also be strict.

A qualified army should have excellent combat effectiveness and excellent psychological quality in order to be invincible.

A group of scumbag students have long been impatient. Their main purpose of coming to school is to deal with parents, but they don't really want to be here to listen to these people grinding away at their knowledge.

What does knowledge have to do with them? The family has a big business and if you really can't learn anything, then go home and inherit the family business! They are looking forward to getting out of class as soon as possible, and some of them have even deserted to do other things.

But the other few who submitted their articles were all listening to Mr. Shen’s comments very carefully.

Those with better family backgrounds try to think about how these two articles compare with their own; those with poorer family backgrounds feel a little confused like a duck listening to thunder because they don’t have more resources and knowledge.

At this time, You Zhenghang was very unconvinced.

After all, he is only over eight years old, and he has always been recognized as a "genius". Now that he has clearly heard Mr. Shen's praise for Xiaobao's article, he blurts out:
Chapter completed!
