Chapter 52

"When the ......", "When the ......", "When the ......", "When the ......" arrived, the bell and drum department rang a long bell, which is the first bell of the new year, which means the beginning of the new year, and it is people's yearning for the new year's wind and rain, and everything is prosperous

"The New Year is here......" I watched the queen and others jumping happily again, and I was indescribably happy, and all the eunuchs and maids in the palace also showed happy smiles, and at this moment, Bianliang, the capital, was full of crackling firecrackers and people's cheerful laughter

"Your Majesty, the New Year is here, you should send red envelopes, haha" The queen and others surrounded me and asked me for red envelopes

"You should go and ask the queen mother, how can you ask me for a red envelope?"

"You are a long live lord, rich all over the world, who do you want to ask for" Chu Yun came over and took my hand and shook it constantly

"Okay, good, good, give, I give, you go back first, and I'll give you the dumplings later," I said to these wives dotingly

"Okay, then the concubine and her sisters will wait in the house for you to come back and eat dumplings together." After the queen finished speaking, she took a few of my concubines all the way back to the middle palace, looking at them bouncing around, I couldn't say how happy I was

"Xiao Muzi" called Mu Fengchun, who was directing the little eunuchs to clean the square

"Your Majesty, what do you command?"

"Xiao Muzi, it's the New Year, it's not easy for everyone this year, let's wrap a red envelope for everyone and send it down, and one person will get half a year's profit"

"Plop" Mu Fengchun suddenly knelt at my feet, kept wiping his tears and said to me, "Long live Lord, I didn't expect that the first thing you did this New Year was to care about us eunuchs and palace maids who have no roots, Your Majesty, the slaves and maids take the big guys, thank you, Your Majesty."

"Okay, okay, get up, it's not easy to be busy for a year, you hurry up and arrange it, send it all down"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the slave and maid will do it"

"Wait, little Muzi"

"Long live the lord, what else do you command?"

"Xiao Muzi, where is your family from, and what other relatives are in the family?" I asked

"Back to the emperor, the slave maid is from Jiangling, and there is an elder brother and an old lady at home, but I don't know if I'm still there" Mu Fengchun said with some sadness

"Then you haven't been home in years"

"Long live the lord, the slave hasn't been home for almost twenty years"

"Twenty years?! It's been so long, Xiao Muzi, I have allowed you to take a month's leave, let you go back to your hometown and relatives, go to the Internal Affairs Office to spend 1,000 yuan of money, pay 1,000 taels of silver, hire a sedan chair, and go home in a beautiful way, if everyone in the family is there, they will all receive Bianliang, you are ******** now, you can't always be without a home."

"Your Majesty, what you said is true?" Mu Fengchun didn't believe his ears at all, and asked me dumbfounded

"I am the Son of Heaven, how can I lie to you, hurry up, send a red envelope to everyone and leave"

"Yes, yes, slave and maid thank the emperor for his grace" Mu Fengchun was moved to lie on the ground and cried vigorously, I didn't know how to persuade him, so I patted him on the shoulder and walked towards the middle palace

Back to the middle palace, a wife sent a jade bracelet, a pair of pearl earrings, their little maid including my rain butterfly, one of them rewarded a silver bracelet, it is also a great joy, the first day of the new year ministers came to the palace to me and the queen mother New Year's greetings, there are joyful to receive the red envelopes I sent to them, no more than a person a gold leaf, with a heart is also a heart. On the sixth day of the new year, at the beginning of the year, the dynasty was opened, and the seal was started

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live" In the new year, for the first time, the voices of the ministers were also particularly loud

"All the Secretaries are flat"

"Emperor Xie"

"There is a morning play, and there is no retreat" Since Mu Fengchun was promoted to ********, the eunuch of this palace has been served by Xiaodouzi

"Your Majesty, the ministers naturally have their own music" The public loses naturally out of class, and he surprised me this time, because he has never been to the court since he became an official, how did he come today, I wondered

"Quasi-Concert"

"Long live Qi Song, the minister's steel bow and crossbow research has made a breakthrough, and it is completely made of the emperor's will, but the minister has slightly added a little change, and I have come to ask the emperor to take a look" I really can't stand the combination of official dialect and vernacular

"In that case, little bean, quickly present it to me"

"Yes, Your Majesty"

"Gong Yi Aiqing, if you are not used to speaking official words in the future, then you will continue to speak in the vernacular, it doesn't matter, I will give you permission" I smiled and looked at Gong Yi naturally and said, Gong Yi naturally looks very happy, a pair of mouse eyes on his fat round face, a face that has never been washed, and a big beard, I want to laugh when I see him

"Yes! Great, thank you, Your Majesty, or do you understand me. "Hehehehe, this public prosecution is naturally really wise and cute

After a while, there was a little eunuch with a steel longbow and a pair of steel crossbows to the front of the hall, I couldn't wait to pick up the steel crossbow and look, this steel crossbow has a bolt-like handle for opening the string, the head and waist of the steel crossbow each have a crosshair, just like a rifle, can be used for three-point and one-line shooting, greatly improving the shooting accuracy of the steel crossbow, and then I picked up the steel longbow, take a closer look, after the further design of the public transport nature, this steel bow can be folded, and what I didn't expect the most is that Since the principle of pulleys has been added to it, this steel bow and crossbow has a range of more than 100 meters farther than ordinary wooden crossbows

"Hahaha, Gong Lose Aiqing is really my lucky general, Gong Lose Aiqing, you go back immediately after the next dynasty, immediately start to build this steel bow and crossbow, longbow to build five thousand, more steel crossbows, and even the production of crossbows should not stop, and although the production of our weapons and armor is already a streamlined operation, but it cannot be standardized, Gong Lose Aiqing, you will make a standard ruler after you go back, the previous length measurement unit is all abandoned, the smallest length unit in the future is called millimeters, ten millimeters is one centimeter, ten centimeters is one decimeter, Ten meters is one meter, one meter is the current three feet, just do it according to this method, make a standard ruler of one meter, and then you will continue to study the steel crossbow after you return, and design a steel crossbow with an effective killing distance of 500 meters or even more."

"Yes, the minister obeys the order" is naturally really cute, if there is a new research direction for him, he is happy not to pay him, he is really an authentic research maniac
