My subjects are too rebellious!

After countless days and nights of hard work and in-depth discussions, Li Si and Zhuge Liang finally revised the laws of the Wu Dynasty, combining the rigor of the Legalists with the tolerance of the Confucianists.

Each of these 452 laws embodies their hard work and wisdom, and not only embodies the authority and fairness of the law, but also maintains humanistic care for the people.

At dawn, the two men, carrying heavy drafts of laws, walked briskly into the magnificent palace.

After passing through one palace gate after another, they arrived in front of the Qianqing Palace.

When the guards saw that it was the cabinet ministers Li Si and Zhuge Liang, they all saluted and made way.

The two of them gently pushed open the door and saw that writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone were already prepared on the imperial desk. It was obvious that Qin Chuan had been waiting here for a long time.

Li Si and Zhuge Liang walked respectfully to the imperial desk, held up the heavy draft law in both hands, and slowly handed it to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan took the draft law and scanned every word on the cover with sharp eyes.

He was well aware of the importance of this law. It was not only a milestone in the legal system construction of the Wu Dynasty, but also an important guarantee for the long-term stability of the country.

So he gently opened the draft law and carefully read it page by page.

As Qin Chuan flipped through the pages, his brows were sometimes furrowed and sometimes relaxed.

Sometimes he stopped to think, and sometimes he exchanged ideas with Li Si and Zhuge Liang beside him.

After carefully reviewing the newly revised laws presented by Li Si and Zhuge Liang, he felt deeply that they were perfect and thorough, so he decided to submit them to other important officials in the cabinet for further review.

So he summoned three other cabinet ministers.

Lu Su, Fan Li, and Liu Bowen.

In the Qianqing Palace, Qin Chuan personally handed the newly revised laws to them.

Lu Su, Fan Li, and Liu Bowen took the draft law, found a place to sit down, and began to study it carefully.

As time went by, the only sounds in the hall were the soft sound of turning pages and occasional whispered conversations.

Sometimes they frowned and fell into deep thought, and sometimes they nodded approvingly and smiled.

After a long period of review and discussion, the three university scholars finally reached a consensus.

This newly revised law is truly impeccable. It not only embodies the majesty and justice of the law, but also takes into account social harmony and stability.

After receiving such feedback, Emperor Qinchuan was very pleased.

So he immediately issued an order, ordering people to compile the newly revised laws into a book, and provide detailed explanations and instructions to ensure that local governments can accurately understand and strictly implement them.

Afterwards, Qin Chuan gave another order to immediately dispatch express messengers to deliver the newly revised law books to government offices across the country.

He required local governments to convey the new laws to every official and citizen in the shortest possible time so that they could understand and abide by the new legal provisions.

.........

After receiving official documents from the capital, local officials did not dare to slack off or delay in the slightest.

They sprang into action, treating the document as a top priority.

The prefect or county magistrate immediately summoned all officials, including legal advisors, constables, clerks, etc., and asked them to first study the newly revised law books on their own.

In order to ensure that the new law would be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the government also asked minor officials to ride horses, beat gongs, and go from street to street to promote it.

Wherever he went, he gathered the people together, explained the new laws to them with vivid examples and simple language, and patiently answered their questions.

............

It was late at night and Qin Chuan sat alone in the Qianqing Palace, looking a little lonely.

He exchanged an all-encompassing "Encyclopedia" from the system.

The Encyclopedia records the essence of all human civilizations, from astronomy and geography to agriculture and water conservancy, from medicine and pharmacology to mechanical manufacturing, and even military strategies, literature and art.

Qin Chuan flipped through it and finally knew what to do.

He always wanted to make salt, sugar, soap, and so on.

But how could he know these things?

But now...after reading the Encyclopedia, he understood.

........

The next day, on a sunny morning, Qin Chuan and Li Qiliang came to the royal workshop, where the best craftsmen of the Wu Dynasty gathered.

The craftsmen here are not rewarded by the system.

"Minister Li, the traditional method is to directly crush the salt ore and then boil it to obtain salt, but the salt obtained by this method has more impurities and tastes bitter."

"Refined salt, on the other hand, requires more sophisticated processing."

Then, Qin Chuan personally guided the craftsmen to build a simple refined salt refining workshop.

First, they selected salt ore of high quality, crushed it initially, put it into a large stone mortar, added water and stirred it, so that the salt in the salt ore could be fully dissolved in the water to form brine.

Qin Chuan emphasized: "This step is crucial. The purity of the brine will directly affect the quality of refined salt."

Li Qiliang listened, watched and took notes.

Afterwards, the craftsmen introduced the brine into the filtration pool to remove impurities such as mud, suspended matter, etc. through natural sedimentation and multi-layer filtration.

Qin Chuan also introduced the "clarification" technology mentioned in the "Encyclopedia", which is to add an appropriate amount of alum or lime milk to the brine to cause the impurities to condense and precipitate, further improving the clarity of the brine.

The filtered brine is introduced into the evaporation pond and evaporates naturally using the power of sunlight and wind.

As the water content gradually decreases, the salt in the brine gradually crystallizes and precipitates.

However, the salt obtained at this time still contains a certain amount of water and trace impurities.

In order to obtain purer refined salt, Qinchuan introduced the "recrystallization" technology.

He asked the craftsmen to put the initial salt crystals into a clean pot, add an appropriate amount of water to dissolve them again, and then evaporate and crystallize them again.

This process can be repeated many times until the impurity content in the salt crystals is reduced to extremely low levels.

Finally, after careful selection and drying, crystal clear, flawless white salt appeared in front of everyone.

Li Qiliang looked at the refined salt with excitement in his eyes.

"Your Majesty is wise. If this method can be promoted throughout the country, it will benefit all people!" Li Qiliang bowed, his tone full of admiration.

Qin Chuan waved his hand slightly, and then continued to point to the other side.

"Minister Li, sugar is not just a condiment, it can also bring sweetness and happiness to people's lives."

"Next, I will show you how to use raw materials such as sugar cane to make a more delicate and sweet white sugar."

Qin Chuan smiled and said, "First, we need to peel the sugarcane, cut it into sections, and then use a stone mill to extract the sugarcane juice."

As he spoke, he instructed the craftsmen to carry out the operations.

"This step is very critical to ensure the purity of sugarcane juice and avoid impurities."

The squeezed sugarcane juice is introduced into a large pot and heated to boil.

Qin Chuan explained: "The purpose of heating is to evaporate most of the water in the sugarcane juice and gradually concentrate the sugar."

As the temperature rises, the sugarcane juice in the pot begins to boil, emitting an enticing sweet aroma.

However, the syrup still contains a lot of water and other impurities.

To get pure white sugar, the next steps are crucial.

Qin Chuan demonstrated the techniques of "clarification" and "filtration" to Li Qiliang and the craftsmen. By adding appropriate amounts of lime milk or wood ash and other substances, impurities were condensed and precipitated, and suspended matter was removed through multi-layer filter nets.
