Dang Chongya was a direct minister, and responded directly, "Your Majesty, the problem is very big, first of all, the sulfur and all the raw materials needed for gunpowder. On the Jingshi side, the storage capacity is not very large. It needs to be transported from the surrounding area. Moreover, the fire engine yard is also short of manpower, and it is impossible to use all of them on the preparation of gunpowder. They are also required to do the normal firearms manufacturing and repair errands. And "

Wu Yue raised his hand violently and stopped him from continuing.

"Okay, I don't care about these things, I just want you to say a word, how long does it take for you to prepare 10,000 catties of gunpowder?"

Dang Chongya lowered her head and pondered for a few minutes before bowing down and responding, "It will take three months." After three months, the fire machine institute can reach the configuration of 5,000 catties a month! ”

Wu Yue frowned and slowly stood up.

"Okay, that's it for now, you now concentrate all the forces of the Fire Machinery Academy, prepare three thousand catties of gunpowder to come out, and then send the explosives division of the Fire Machinery Institute to Prince Gong's side together. Get ready to mine rocks! Wu Yue pondered for a few minutes, then stared at Dang Chongya and said.

Dang Chongya bowed in response, and then took a step forward and quickly withdrew from the Qianqing Palace.

Wu Yue's face was solemn, he turned around, looked at Zhou Peigong and Nalan Mingzhu, and then said, "Zhou Peigong and Nalan Mingzhu listen to the seal!" ”

The faces of the two of them were excited, and they knelt down towards Wu Yue.

"Slaves (ministers) obey orders!"

Wu Yue said, "Zhou Peigong, Nalan Mingzhu, today the two of them go to the study to walk and accompany the king!" Give the palace a golden order, and enter the palace at any time! ”

"Servants (ministers) obey orders!" Hearing this, the two bowed deeply to Wu Yue.

Wu Yue smiled slightly and motioned for the two to stand up.

After the two got up, they stood aside with a respectful face.

Wu Yue continued, "At present, the imperial court is the time to employ people, and after Enke, a large number of people still need to be selected well, so that they can be reused in the future." Therefore, the first task of the two of you now is to select talents from this batch of candidates. Got it? ”

Zhou Peigong and Nalan Mingzhu bowed deeply towards Wu Yue and responded in unison, "Huh! ”

"Well, you go to Chen Tingjing and help him deal with Enke's affairs in the shortest possible time." Wu Yue said, waving his hand at the two.

After the two knelt down, they slowly withdrew from the Qianqing Palace.

Wu Yue looked at the figure of the two gradually leaving, and said silently in his heart, "The matter of Enke's choice is very important. Those whom I have quietly chosen can be used as criteria for the selection of these two to test them. If there is any misconduct between these two people, I can also know as soon as possible. In the future, it is good to know the appointment of these two people. ”

Wu Yue said, turned around, and slowly returned to the dragon chair.

At this time, Su Malagu walked in slowly with a cup of tea in both hands, and put him lightly on the dragon case with both hands.

Wu Yue, who was just in time to be thirsty, nodded towards Aunt Su Mala with a smile.

"Still Su Ma understands me!" Wu Yue said with a smile, lowered his head and drank it all.

Su Ma looked pleased, "Master, there are many political affairs, but you must not be in a hurry. Only by doing our best to think through everything can we avoid detours. ”

Wu Yue put the teacup in his hand back on the dragon case and nodded.

"The management of the river and the dredging of errands have now become the top priority that threatens the imperial court. Only when the river is well managed can the people's lives return to normal. Only in this way can I free up my hands and play a good game with this three feudatories. ”

"You know, the San Francisco didn't spend much time with me."

Hearing this, Aunt Su Mala nodded solemnly.

Therefore, the master must not make mistakes, and all things must be considered clearly. For the temptation of the courtiers, we must also pay attention to grasp that scale. Otherwise, once the courtiers are allowed to run errands, they will be afraid of the head and tail, and it will be the Qing court that suffers. ”

Wu Yue nodded heavily.

"But there is still a necessary temptation. Otherwise, the consequences of blindly employing people are far beyond the reach of the current imperial court. ”

Wu Yue's face was solemn, turned around, leaned over the dragon case, stared at the map with his eyes tight, and began to plan a specific river management plan.

Half a month, in a blink of an eye.

In the past month, the entire imperial court has undergone earth-shaking changes. The two major parties that were originally inherent in the court have basically converged a lot now, and there is no longer the original rivalry. Most of the newly encumbered students were arranged by Wu Yue to serve as county commanders in barren county towns along the Yangtze River and Yellow River valleys.

In order to stimulate the fighting spirit of these lifters, Wu Yue took out more than half of the treasury silver he had accumulated in three years and distributed it to them. Let them carry the money to their respective dominions.

The response of these people in the Jinluan Hall also made Wu Yue feel very pleased.

Before leaving, they all made military orders, promising that in two to three years, they would steadily recruit the scattered displaced people in the Yangtze River and Yellow River valleys and vigorously develop agriculture.

Wu Yue also gave them appropriate advice, in addition to the development of farming, the rest of the time is to do some special things, such as jewelry processing, and ceramic firing, and so on.

And promised that as long as the common people had handicrafts that could be made, they could collect them in the name of the imperial court. The imperial court would exchange it for grain or silver taels at a proper price, and give it to them as a reward.

Those newly raised county orders are full of excitement, gearing up, and high morale!

Wu Yue's almost whimsical ideas also gave the entire court a rookie style. The originally sluggish imperial court has gradually rejuvenated!

In the study on this day, after Wu Yue returned from the lower dynasty, he kept staring at the water maps of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, frowning and thinking.

Aunt Su Mala, who was next to her, held the teacup in both hands and stood aside, silent. Li Dong was guarding the door of the upper study, and he also did not make any sound.

At this time, Sandezi ran towards the upper study with an excited face.

"Master, Prince Gong is back." Sandezi slowly came to Wu Yue's side and bowed down and said.

Wu Yue was overjoyed and turned his head suddenly, "Quick!" Biography!"

"No, I'll pick it up myself!" Wu Yue said, and walked quickly towards the door of the upper study.

Just when Wu Yue had just stepped out of the door of the study, Prince Gong, who was dressed in court clothes, strode over. After seeing Wu Yue out to greet him again, he hurriedly knelt down.

"Chen Fuquan has seen the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor!" Fuquan slammed his head deep on the ground and said in a deep voice.

Wu Yue smiled all over his face, stepped forward, and helped Fuquan up.

"Brother Huang, please get up quickly, let's go in and talk." Wu Yue smiled, pulled Fuquan, and strode into the upper study!
