【Chapter 156】Preparation
Yu Moji was also a little helpless. But anyone who pursues the study of Yanjia is the last thing they want to see. But whether the Yanshi want to or not, the situation in recent years has been there. Regardless of whether it is the government or the people, they have tasted the sweetness brought by Yanji, and there is absolutely no reason to tolerate technological regression.
However, Chitose gold is not a dealer's grain, and it cannot be grown out of thin air. There are only so many thousand-year-old gold underground, even if they dig deeper and deeper over the years, the output is still not as good as year after year, and they are becoming more and more unable to keep up with the demand, and if this continues, I am afraid that even the foundation of the Great Qi Empire will be affected.
This situation of short supply urged the Great Qi Empire to expand its territory and dig all the way to the deep sea where no one is around; Urging Ling Jingcheng to accept Yu Moji's proposal and pry the technology from the Jiangshan ship. These things, Yu Moji understands in his heart. She just didn't expect that the situation was so unawaitable, and she was blind, and she had to be urged to recover as soon as possible.
"Even my father didn't expect this." Ling Ai continued, "Originally, the Cardinal had set the road to the seaside and drawn up various plans, and everyone thought that they finally had a chance to breathe. Reporting these plans to the DPRK and the Central Committee is actually a bit of an invitation to merit. ”
Yu Moji couldn't help but laugh. She used to understand when she was doing homework for others in the martial arts hall, and there are many ways to invite merit, and a little carelessness can lead to a lot of things; The greater the sense of pride that comes from receiving praise in front of others, the more opportunities you leave for others to take advantage of. Especially on such an important matter as Chitose Gold, the more reliable the impression left by the Cardinal on the court, the more it made the Manchu civil and military feel that they could squander it for a few more years.
But if it does not take credit, the Cardinal will not be able to rob other institutions; If it does not have the support of the imperial court, it is likely that even the most important thousand-tose gold will not be allocated enough. How can the Cardinal's own research on the Armor continue?
When Yu Mochen thought of this, he felt that Ling Jingcheng was really not easy, and now such an impatient style was really helpless. Lord Ling's forehead has become higher and higher in the past two years, but if he changes the ink mark himself, even if he becomes a bald man, I am afraid that he will not be able to turn the tide.
What Ling Ai said next was as expected by Yu Moji. "On the side of the household, in fact, I couldn't hold back for a long time, and as soon as I saw that the cardinal's side had a way, I couldn't help it anymore, and finally told the truth about the current situation. The real inventory of thousand-year-old gold, compared with the amount planned by the imperial court, is simply separated by a moat. Ling Ai, a gentle person, also had some sneers when he mentioned these things, "It's really a dog jumping off the wall, and they don't care if the foolish data of the past few years can be correct." This incident caused Long Yan to be angry, but the emperor was angry, and if he really wanted to solve the predicament of Chitose Jin, he could only force the Cardinal to take action as soon as possible. ”
Layers of coercion, even Yu Moji, who has not really obtained the qualification of Yanshi, is deeply involved. Yu Moji thought about it, since the situation was so urgent, maybe others had already prepared, and now the only thing missing was her.
"If I say this to Lord Ling, he may think that I am foolish. But what I'm going to say next is really what I really think......" Yu Moji pondered the words, "If something is urgent, I'll set off, and it's okay." ”
"You've always worked so hard." Ling Ai obviously had no way to decide on this matter, so he only commented on it and did not say anything about it.
Yu Moji said, "There are some things that invisible people can do as well." What's more, the Xuannu Sect is very involved, and the situation is quite complicated. I guess what Lord Ling means—maybe he is intending to leave this matter to the Cardinals themselves? She always felt that when the Cardinal invited merit, it should not report this bad matter that was blocking the road to the imperial court.
"If needed, the Zhennan Army will also provide some help." Ling Ai seemed to hesitate a little between his words, "But after all, the Xuannu Sect involves the matter of witchcraft, and it is inconvenient to take it to the court to discuss it in court, otherwise I am afraid it will affect the well-being of a country; Second, the Cardinal Council should have undertaken to take charge of this matter together with the Criminal Department. The Xuannu Sect is now a mess that has not been cleaned up, and if it is not resolved, the Cardinal will have to be accused of doing things unfavorably. ”
Yu Moji has never been interested in commenting on ethereal statements such as "national fortune"; But she also understands the situation of the Cardinal's current treading on thin ice.
"Since you can't get around, you can break it." Yu Mojian usually doesn't like to discuss unfulfilled ambitions in front of people, but this time he said it very firmly.
Ling Ai didn't say much at the time, but she obviously conveyed Yu Moji's attitude to Ling Jingcheng.
However, a few days later, Lu Chen called Yu Moji over. When he arrived at the familiar room, Yu Moji heard that Yuan Zhizhi was also there.
During Yu Moji's two years in the Cardinal, it was actually rare for the three of them to get together. She immediately felt that there was probably something very important, and her expression couldn't help but be shocked; Unexpectedly, Lu Chen just shook open a document and read it to her personally.
It was a document officially issued by the Council of Ministers to the new Yanshi.
Yu Moji's emotions are no longer as easy to shake as they were two years ago, but the joy in his heart can't be hidden. She smiled faintly, and then bowed deeply to Lu Chen, "Thank you for your hard work." When she got up, she paused again in the direction of Yuan Pingzhi. She didn't say too much, but she knew very well in her heart that she was most grateful to this person.
Lu Chen obviously saw the clue from her expression. "Although he is not your teacher, he has really taught you a lot of things. On such an important day as your ascension to Yanshi, I always felt that he should be there too, so I called him. ”
Yuan Pingzhi smiled on the side, "Congratulations." ”
Yu Moji smiled, thanked him again, and said, "In the past two years, I have really caused a lot of trouble for the two of you. ”
"A smart child like you can actually comprehend a lot of knowledge on your own." Lu Chen said again, "The Xuantian blazing sun you envisioned, I have discussed it with Shi Lao, and have drawn up a complete plan, and it will be put into production soon." ”
Yu Mozhen was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. She could have put in more, but after the twenty pages of drafts handed in, it seemed to have nothing to do with her; Now Lu Chen's attitude is more like informing her, and he doesn't seem to have any intention of asking her to continue to participate.
Although her face was silent, Lu Chen seemed to see it. He paused for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, if it weren't for you, Xuantian Blazing Sun probably wouldn't have had the chance to return to the battlefield." When Shi Lao designed this pair of armor, he invested a lot of energy; To this day, the Cardinal still feels a pity when he mentions this matter. Unexpectedly, you went to Jiayuan River and solved this matter. ”
When Yu Mochen heard this, he couldn't help but smile shyly. Lu Chen said, "In fact, there are many things, if you are involved, you may be able to get better results." It's just that there is always a priority in things, and now the battlefield in the south needs you even more. In my opinion, it would be better for you to concentrate on preparing for the south. As for the preparation of the armor for you, leave it to us, old bones. ”
He was in the position of cardinal, but he said it with great humility. The only bit of depression in Yu Mojian's heart immediately dissipated, and he hurriedly replied, "The Xuantian Blazing Sun was originally made by the seniors of the Cardinal, and I only put forward a small idea, and I didn't even think that it would really come in handy. Now that Xuantian Blazing Sun can really return to the battlefield, it has far exceeded my expectations; It's much more reassuring for all the seniors to deal with this matter together than for me, a junior who has just graduated. ”
Lu Chen nodded, and then said, "Lord Ling said that you volunteered to go to the south in a hurry. I know that your eye disease is not cured yet, so I would like to ask, is this your intention? ”
Yu Mochen smiled, only to say that Lu Chen is always like this, "Naturally, it is my intention." What's more, the symptomatic medicine is already available, and the recovery of the eyes is only a matter of time. Yu Mochen said seriously, "I know that there is a shortage of manpower in the south. After all, I have experience in dealing with the Xuannu Sect, and when I get there, even if I can't fight the enemy, I can stay in the rear to sort out information and make suggestions, and there will always be a place for me to be useful. ”
"As I said before, this must be Xiaoyu's own plan." Yuan Pingzhi said with a smile, "Since she has already decided, the master doesn't have to stop her." ”
"That's good." Lu Chen seemed to sigh slightly, "Since you and Yan Zheng will also go together, we should always take care of each other." ”
Yuan Zhizhi said, "Even if Xiaoyu can't see with her eyes, she is still taking care of us." He always spoke with a bit of a joke, but it was clearly true.
Yu Mozhen originally wanted to say, "Don't make fun of me", but when she understood this tone, she stumbled when the words came to her mouth, and when she said it, she had already changed the version, "Since General Yuan said so," she lowered her eyebrows and smiled humbly, "I will do my best to live up to expectations." ”
Now that Yu Moji's decision has been decided, no one in the Cardinal Council has expressed any doubts.
Only one day later, Ling Jingcheng publicly announced the date of going south. The speed of progress in this matter made Yu Moji secretly smile again-she had originally speculated that the Cardinal should be in place, only her own link, but now it seems that this is indeed the case.
Fortunately, the medicine given by Sun Xiu did have some effect.
When Yu Moji came out of Lu Chen's room, he felt his eyes itch for a while. Ling Ai had told him before, and he didn't dare to rub the ink marks. It's just that under her eyes, there are like dozens of small insects crawling over, crawling all the way into her brain, causing her nasal cavity to be sore, her ears ringing chaotically, and her limbs and bones are also sad.
It's really not a good taste. Yu Mochen was originally going to listen to Ling Jingcheng's explanation of the southbound route, but this time she couldn't do anything, so she had to ask Ling Ai to take a note for her - this is actually not a good idea, if she still can't see it later, I'm afraid she can only ask Yan Zheng to read it to her again. But Yu Moji was so tormented by the earth-shattering itch that she had no choice but to leave the Cardinal during the day and go back to sleep in the room she rented.
When she opened her eyes again, she felt much more refreshed, and it was no longer dark in front of her. Although it is so strange and strange that you can't tell anything out of sight, it's better than not seeing it at all. Yu Mochen was pleasantly surprised, and his first reaction was to hurry back to the Cardinal.
