Chapter Twenty-Seven: Including You
"Jiangzhou good news! Jiangzhou good news! ”
The horses galloped through the streets of the inner city of the imperial capital, and the envoy from Jiangzhou shouted happily, happier than his mother for the New Year!
In the blink of an eye, I came to the gate of the imperial city.
The civil and military officials who received the news rushed to the court, and Xiao Linglong was also impatient to know the exact news, so she rushed to the main hall after changing into a dragon robe.
The envoy knelt on the ground and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, good news from Jiangzhou!" The flood has been changed to the Cangyun Mountain Range, which is hundreds of miles away from Liuxian County, and Zhao Jizhi, the master of the Ministry of Industry, and the soldiers are already opening a canal to divert water! ”
"That's true! Hurry up and report the details! Xiao Linglong was excited, she was waiting for news from Jiangzhou these days.
At this time, the good news really came, but I still couldn't believe that the flood in Jiangzhou was really solved by Zhao Kang with that magical black powder!
The envoy hurriedly explained in detail how the Ministry of Industry used gunpowder to blow up the mountain, causing the mountain to collapse and form an iron wall, and the flood could not shake it at all, and finally flowed towards the low-lying Liuxian County.
After listening to the many ministers, they patted their ass, and the words of His Majesty's Shengming and blessing Daqian came as if they didn't want money.
The big stone in Xiao Linglong's heart finally landed, and looking at the ministers, it was time to mention that guy's matter.
After thinking about it, Xiao Linglong said: "The flood in Jiangzhou can be solved this time, and it is indispensable for my great cadres and ministers to work together. ”
Remember https://m in a second.
"Your Majesty is wise!" The crowd shouted.
Xiao Linglong's words changed: "But the biggest credit for this is naturally the black powder, if there is no such thing, I am afraid that the people of Jiangzhou will still suffer from the floods and natural disasters." ”
Old Master Yang, one of the Three Princes, came out with some curiosity and asked, "I don't know where Your Majesty got this thing?" To be able to produce such a sacred object must be a pillar of the country, and if it can be summoned to serve as an official and serve the country, it is really a blessing for me. ”
Quite a few people nodded.
"Yes, the power of that black powder is really amazing, and I don't know who made it."
"This kind of talent can enter the Ministry of Industry as an official, and if there is a need to open a mountain and quarry in the future, it will be very easy to have this black powder."
"Yes, Your Majesty, who is it?"
Everyone's curiosity was aroused, and Xiao Linglong revealed the puzzle: "This person, like Zhu Qing, is my big official." ”
Many people are a little confused, you look at me, I look at you.
Some old guys have heard a lot of news, they are officials of the Qianguo, and the black powder was brought back by Her Majesty the Empress after leaving the palace, so it is definitely not a Beijing official.
And if he came back with black powder in less than ten days after leaving the palace, it means that it is not too far from Kyoto, so it should be an official of Gangneung Prefecture.
Zhang Daoquan, one of the three princes, touched his goatee and smiled: "Your Majesty, don't sell Guanzi, which handsome man in Jiangling Mansion is this person?" The old minister should thank him. ”
Xiao Linglong: "Yuanjiang County ordered Zhao Kang." ”
Naturally, not many of the ministers have heard of this name, and a group of officials in the Ministry of Officials are a little confused, Zhao Kang of Yuanjiang County?
Just that Yuanjiang County, which has a population of only 2,000 and is located in the gap between the three mountains, and this year reported that more than a dozen people starved to death?
Shangshu Wang Songbai didn't dare to speak, since His Majesty said so, he must have been to Yuanjiang County, if it is really as reported to the assessment, then Yuanjiang County really doesn't and the people don't make a living, and the empress doesn't blow up her hair, how can she be so kind?
It seems that someone deceived the upper and lower levels.
He could see through it, but the officials under his hand were a little brainless, and Zuo Shilang was stunned and said: "Your Majesty is not wrong, according to the news reported this year, there are less than 2,000 county residents in Yuanjiang County, and the annual per capita income does not even reach the level of taxation, and what do you say that the county makes Zhao Kang can't even afford a new official robe, and he wears a patch shirt, how can he make such a magical thing as gunpowder." ”
"So poor?" Zuo Shilang's words aroused the curiosity of the people around him.
An official of the Ministry of Officials was stunned and said: "Isn't it, it is said that the county magistrate is bare-chested to judge the case, and this year there are seventeen or eighteen people who starved to death, and they can't pay taxes every year." It is not an exaggeration to say that it is one of the most barren counties in my country. ”
Hearing this, the officials in the hall were all stunned, and they all looked at Her Majesty the Empress on the dragon chair.
Xiao Linglong said lightly: "It can be seen that the officials of our Ministry of Officials are not clear about the situation of the county-level officials in the state capitals." ”
Lord Shangshu of the Ministry only felt that his scalp was numb, and glared at the two officials who were mouthful viciously, two bastards, you have a mouth, right?
"In that case, Zhuqing, why don't I issue an edict to let Zhao Kang go to Beijing to report on his work?"
Mrs. Zhang nodded in agreement and said: "If the gunpowder is really made by Zhao Kang, then this Jiangzhou flood is a well-deserved first merit. ”
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
Basically, no one objected, and the matter of Zhao Kang's entry into Beijing was determined in this way, and Xiao Linglong sent a eunuch to Yuanjiang County.
Hearing the news, His Royal Highness the Prince was happy.
Xiao Linglong's eyes flashed: "Are you familiar with him?" Look at how happy you are! And there's not a bit of royal majesty! ”
Xiao Xuance shrank his head and muttered, "What does this have to do with being majestic or not, I just want to know how he got that gunpowder." ”
"What are you going to do!" Xiao Linglong frowned.
She had seen the power of black powder, and if it fell into the hands of her brother, something would go wrong.
Speaking of this, Xiao Xuance immediately looked excited: "Eldest sister, I think so, this black powder explodes like thunder, if we can use it in battle, then it will be a devastating weapon against the enemy!" ”
Xiao Linglong was taken aback, she hadn't thought about this, at this moment, she heard Xiao Xuance say this, and only then did she realize that if she used this black powder on the enemy!
Something that can blow up even a mountain to blow people up?
Xiao Linglong didn't dare to think about it! At this point, Zhao Kang must enter Beijing!
Capital.
In a palatial mansion, a young man was enjoying the dance of the dancing queen and drinking fine wine.
A servant hurried in, still holding a roll of letter in his hand, and the young man took it, only looked at it twice, and then sat up straight, waiting until he had read all the secret letters.
The young man waved away from all the dancing girls, lost in thought.
Yuanjiang County ordered Zhao Kang and black powder, it's a bit interesting, there are still such talents in the world!
And at the moment Yuanjiang County.
Zhao Kang didn't know that he was about to enter Beijing to report on his work, he was busy with scientific experiments, but the experiments were a little cruel, and the progress was not so gratifying.
