Chapter 281: The Dragon King is invited
After the bridge was completed, many officials of the Ministry of Industry immediately flew up and inspected the embankment, Qin Mu saw many people holding chisels, and inserting chisels several zhang long on the embankment of the river bank, inserting one at a time every hundred zhang.
There was a person standing next to the drills, and someone stood a big bell in the heart of the river, when a loud bell came, the drills also vibrate, and the people next to the drills listened to the trills from the drills.
"What are they doing here?" Qin Mu couldn't help but wonder.
Ling Yuxiu walked to his side and said, "You don't know this, when Tu Jiang was often flooded, the national teacher ordered the Ministry of Industry to come to govern, and the Ministry of Industry spent an unknown amount of financial resources, and his father was very angry, so he asked him why he spent so much money and where the money was spent." The Ministry of Works said that he buried a bronze wall on both sides of the Tujiang River, which was two inches thick and two feet high, and was laid down along the river embankment for thousands of miles. The copper wall is covered with rune marks, check whether the river embankment has dark cracks or whether the embankment is thinned by water, you can ring the copper bell, the bell stimulates the rune marks of the copper wall, so that the resonance sound from the copper wall can use sound waves to judge the dark crack and thickness of the river embankment. ”
Qin Mu looked at the Heavenly Crafts Hall Master who was busy and praised, "What a good idea. ”
Si Yunxiang stepped forward and said, "The emperor almost killed his head because he spent too much money. ”
Ling Yuxiu glanced at her and said: "The Ministry of Industry has spent too much money, over the years, the Ministry of Industry has made building boats flying in the sky, painting boats swimming in the water, land boats running on the ground, flywheel vehicles, smelters for mines, military workshops and factories in various places, renovation of various city towers, sewers in the city, road paving, siege cloud vehicles, Dazhai at the border gates, and machinery manufacturing. At that time, I was not yet born, and later I heard from my second brother that the squire of the Ministry of Industry spent money in those years, so that my father and the prince and the princess and the queen mother in the palace tightened their belts, and they were so hungry that the treasury was empty all of a sudden, and the officials' salaries were owed for many months. ”
Si Yunxiang smiled and said, "What happened later?"
Ling Yuxiu sighed: "Later, the smelter was promoted, all kinds of buildings and boats were sold to merchants, and the factory supervised the continuous production. His father was glad that he hadn't killed him. The Ministry of Industry is the most able to spend money, in addition to the Ministry of Industry Lang Lang is the Ministry of Water Division, to build water conservancy transportation in various places, what water diversion vehicles, flood lakes, all kinds of dam bridges, open canals, spend money like flowing water, but also make the people rich. ”
Si Yunxiang blinked and said, "It seems that the Ministry of Industry and Lang Zhong spend money, what does the Ministry of Industry Shangshu do?" It seems that everything is done by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu has not done anything. ”
Ling Yuxiu also blinked: "The Ministry of Industry Shangshu supervises their spending. ”
Si Yunxiang smiled lightly: "I'm afraid that the emperor is not worried that they were sent to monitor them, after all, the Ministry of Industry and these Langzhong and Wailang are all members of the Heavenly Saint Sect. The Emperor knew that they were the hall master of the Heavenly Saint Sect, and he was not at ease with them. ”
Ling Yuxiu's gaze fell on her: "Senior Sister Rue Xiang seems to be very attentive to the Heavenly Saint Sect. ”
Si Yunxiang smiled sweetly: "Little sister is not talented, she is the saintess of the Heavenly Saint Sect, so she naturally has to be more attentive." Sect Leader Qin is our Sect Master Holy Master, and he is also very concerned about this aspect, and as a Holy Maiden, the question I ask the princess is also a matter of concern to the Sect Master. ”
The second girl's eyes widened.
Qin Mu ignored the two girls, looked into the distance, and saw that the officials of the Tuntian Division of the Ministry of Water were inspecting the farmland and water conservancy, and the Yu Department was inspecting the fruits and vegetables, so he stepped forward.
"Sect Master, when the crops are not harvested, there will probably be insect plagues. ”
Wailang, a member of the Yu Division, was the incense master of the farm, and he picked up some insect eggs in the soil, checked them, picked out some insect eggs, and said to Qin Mu: "Although the snow disaster is very cold in winter, the eggs of these pests are not frozen to death. After another three or five days, the weather warmed up, and the eggs hatched and turned into bugs. In the winter, the grass and trees are cut down and burned by the victims, and the insects have nothing to eat and eat the crops. It is important to take precautions to prevent insect infestations and kill them as soon as they are born. ”
Qin Mu asked, "Master Incense, how to prevent insect plagues?"
"Let the master of swordsmanship station in the farmland, or the master of spell magic to perform needlework, or let the master of refining Gu worms come and release insects to eat pests. ”
Wai Lang, the member of the Yu Division, got up, clapped his hands, his body and hands were covered with mud, and said, "The disciples of the Sword Hall, the Law Hall, and the Gu Hall can all come out to experience the experience. ”
Qin Mu nodded, invited Fan Yunxiao to come over, and said, "Brother Fan, you pass on my order to let the Sword Hall, the Law Hall, and the Gu Hall each send more than a dozen disciples here. ”
Fan Yunxiao summoned a bandit and ordered him to inform him.
The Ministry of Water Resources is rectifying water conservancy, removing the silt accumulated in the waterways, and replanning the waterways to facilitate the irrigation of farmland.
On the other side, the officials of the Tuntian Division were measuring the land, taking out a rod to measure the ruler, and the vitality was urging, and the rod ruler was stretched out from the folded state, getting longer and longer, and the measuring scale appeared on the ruler. On the side, there was a prince who recorded the numbers, and the vitality turned into a heterogeneous abacus, and it crackled.
The waiter of the Ministry of Industry flew into the air with the people of the Ministry of Industry, stood in the air and overlooked the road conditions in various parts of Jiazhou, noted down the damaged roads, and then went to repair the roads.
"Shan Yuxin is a capable person!"
Qin Mu was really impressed in his heart, the officials of the Ministry of Industry of Yankang handled things in an orderly manner, which was indeed beneficial to the country and the people.
The city lord's mansion, Jiazhou Mansion Yin reported the situation in Jiazhou, Lingyushu listened to it for a night, and called the master book to check various records, so busy that he didn't sleep all night.
By the next day, Lingyushu and Jiazhou Mansion Yin were a little tired, and just walked out of the City Lord's Mansion, the Ministry of Works, Shangshu and Qin Mu and others had already come to the outside of the City Lord's Mansion. ”
Lingyushu was surprised, and said in a lost voice: "So fast?"
Shan Youxin said: "After His Highness reads it, he can prepare to kill." ”
Lingyu said solemnly: "Is the land annexation so powerful?"
Shan Yuxin nodded.
Lingyushu summoned Jiazhou Mansion Yin, put the dossier in his hand, and his face sank: "Don't go to sleep first, you don't sleep alone, you watch with Lone! Arrest people while watching, kill people at the same time, catch those who should be caught, kill those who should be killed! In extraordinary times, you should use severe punishment and strict law!"
Jiazhou Mansion Yin's face was as pale as earth.
Qin Mu summoned Shen Wanyun and the others and said, "Your work is here." Later, you will go with the officials to arrest people. ”
Shen Wanyun sneered: "Sect Master, didn't you say that there is no danger? Those who can annex land in troubled times are all local heroes, and the strength of the family lords in these places is also very strong!"
Qin Mu said with a smile: "You are the masters of the Tai Academy, how can you say that you are also the elite of the country, and you are afraid of the local powers?"
Wei Yong, Yue Qinghong and others were eager to try.
Soon after, the crown prince and Fu Yin ordered the arrest of people, and Wei Yong and others immediately went with the officers and soldiers, and did not return until noon, covered in blood, and obviously experienced several fierce battles.
Lingyushu spent two days to deal with the affairs of Jiazhou, continued to travel east, along the way to govern the Tujiang River, this day came to Hezhou, Hezhou east of the sea, far away from the capital, the waterway is developed, there is a large port, the merchant ships here not only connect the national ports, but also trade with other countries, and even with overseas countries also have exchanges.
Everyone is already familiar with the road, and when they come to Hezhou, they will investigate separately, without the instructions of the Ministry of Works. After dealing with the affairs of Hezhou, Lingyushu saw that everyone was really tired, and said: "You have worked hard, don't you take a few days to rest in Hezhou, and then set off." ”
The crowd cheered.
Qin Mu was pulled by Ling Yuxiu to go shopping, and said: "Hezhou has developed commerce and trade, and there are many novelties from foreign countries, let's go to the market!"
"I'll go too!"
Si Yunxiang followed, Ling Yuxiu glanced at her, and said in her heart: "Fox spirit!"
"Little Wave Hoof......" Si Yunxiang said with a smile on her face.
The two daughters' eyes were staggered, Qin Mu was unconscious, there were indeed many strange things in the market in Hezhou, but it was not these strange goods that attracted him, but foreigners.
He saw many foreigners in strange costumes, who looked different from the Yankang people, and some were one-eyed, not like the others with two symmetrical eyes, but with one eye in the center of the eyebrows, and it was long.
There are also four-armed people, two-faced people.
He also saw a few girls from the Sea Clan, dressed in fancy clothes, but with octopus-like eight-legged legs, walking quickly, and if you look closely, you can see that they still have gills in their ears.
"They came up from the sea. ”
Si Yunxiang leaned into Qin Mu's ear and whispered, "It's a merchant of the Sea Clan." I heard that they had built cities and countries under the sea. ”
Qin Mu was surprised, the things sold by the sea tribe were also very strange, he stopped in front of a blue coral tree, the coral tree automatically emitted water vapor, like a water ball wrapping itself in it, and in the water vapor, there was a three-inch girl riding a seahorse wandering around, singing songs of unknown meaning in her mouth.
Then a few more girls on seahorses came down from the trees, and some men sang and danced around the coral trees in the water.
This coral tree actually has a small tribe.
Si Yunxiang and Ling Yuxiu were also fascinated, and at this moment, a tall girl in a dark green dress stepped forward, looked at the blue coral tree, and couldn't help but praise: "What a strange species, Xiaohong, don't you say?"
Qin Mu turned his head sideways, only to see that the girl's mutton-fat earlobes were hung with red jade earrings, and the earrings suddenly stretched, but it was a small red snake, opening its mouth and hissing at Qin Mu and spitting snake letters.
"Long Jiaonan!"
Qin Mu was shocked in his heart, and was about to draw his sword, Long Jiaonan smiled and said: "Sect Master Qin, it's better not to move, people's Xiaohong is the Seven Star Realm, and you can eat all three of you with just one swallow." Master, my dad wants to see you. ”
Qin Mu's scalp was numb, and he said in a deep voice, "The old dragon king is also here?"
Long Jiaonan giggled and said, "My father is called the Dragon King, how can he not have power in Hezhou? But thanks to the sect leader, I was able to control the Dragon Gate and be destroyed, so that my father and I had to hide in the East China Sea!"
Si Yunxiang blinked her eyes and said happily: "Congratulations to Sister Long for catching the Heavenly Demon Sect Master and the Sixth Princess of Yankang, there is nothing to do with me here, I will leave first!"
Long Jiaonan sneered, and the little red snake suddenly swam to Si Yunxiang's neck, stretched out the snake letter and licked Si Yunxiang's neck: "The eldest lady of the Si family, the holy daughter of the Heavenly Demon Sect, is not inferior to the sixth princess of Yankang." You didn't check you up?"
