Huoyao is very well prepared, as long as there are materials at hand, according to the proportion of the formula, it is common to match a few hundred catties a day, but if you want to study it and apply it to the military, it is not something that can be done in a day or two. Since Huo Yao's prescription was submitted, the good days of the Ministry of Industry officials have come to an end.

Since everyone is in contact with this thing for the first time, from common sense to consciousness, they are not given the safety precautions they should have, and they ignore it, and the tragedy continues to be staged, plus the explosion last month, it is the third time.

The Ministry of Industry is quite large, scattered in the capital, and the Huoyao Research Institute is located near the 'Zizhuyuan' in the south of the city. Unfortunately, the emperor suddenly made a big fortune, saying what 'entering the bamboo forest in summer and appreciating plum blossoms in winter', and running 'Zizhuyuan' to spring, but as a result, he ran into Huoyao Fabiao, and the soul was scattered with a roar. The guards reported on the spot: The house of the Ministry of Industry collapsed, several officials in charge of the project suffered a heart attack, several staff members evaporated, and some people around accused the Ministry of Industry officials of not doing their jobs, which caused the wrath of God and was struck three times by the thunder.

Li Zhi estimated that he secretly lurked at the scene to inspect it, and was very satisfied with the unprecedented destructive power of Huoyao. Therefore, he commended and mourned several killed officials who had no awareness of safe production, and personally ordered the distribution of huge sums of money to set up a special scientific research institution in a sparsely populated place outside the southern city, which was directly led by the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Cao Laobo, supervised by the royal cronies, and the Guards were responsible for security and confidentiality tasks, and the first professional confidential scientific research institution in Datang was formally established.

The real estate of the Wang family was rewarded by the imperial court according to the marquis title of Wang Xiu's grandfather. Although Wang Xiu inherited the ancestral estate, the title was still decreasing according to generation. Because my current identity is the single grandson of the founding marquis, 'little marquis' is just a polite title, and it is a nickname for others to show respect for the Wang family. But with my current title of earl, how cool it is to have a fief the size of a marquis.

It stands to reason that as long as I can't jump on the title of founding duke, the imperial court will not increase the fiefdom area of the royal family. But for some reason, the household officials suddenly visited, and took a colorful booklet to explain to me page by page for a long time, and the final meaning was: when the land was divided, for various reasons, you were given 500 acres of land to your old Wang family, and now the household department has checked the land and found the loopholes, and I apologize.

But it's too late to make amends; Now that the surrounding land has a master's house, there is no way to plan it anymore. In order to express the government's apology to the Wang family and compensate for the loss of the founding feats of the country, the whole household department held a meeting to negotiate, and finally booked a plan, and asked me to choose. Plan A: Wangjia Zhuangzi is exempt from paying official grain taxes for five years; Plan B: If the XX family violates the law of the country because of something, the imperial court confiscates its land and can compensate the Wang family, but the distance is far, about 200 miles away from the capital; Plan C: Although the hills behind Wangjia Zhuangzi are not suitable for farming, they have an area of more than 500 mu and can be used as compensation, but they still have to pay money and grain according to the area every year.

"Can you choose all three?" For the government's cheapness, I have always held the belief that it will not be white, and I want to make a big difference, "or let's discuss it, and choose two out of three." Look at the hot weather, the mosquito bite is terrible, you have to prepare a bottle of Jiuhua Yulu... Hehe, look at what I'm talking about, let's string sugar gourds to quench the fire first. ”

The official was unmoved, shook his head with a smile, and politely arched his hand: "The lower official is on behalf of the imperial court this time, and he doesn't dare to make a mistake, I hope the county lord will forgive me." ”

It seems that he has met a Qing official, "Haha, let's not talk about this first." I see that you are a bold person, and I am very close to each other, come for a long time, there is no good hospitality, if you don't dislike it, talk about it after the use of coarse tea and light rice. After speaking, he didn't care what he meant, he went out and greeted him with a meal, and he wanted to be hearty. specially instructed Ying to bring the wine used to make Jiuhua Yulu, and if he didn't pour him into a low IQ, it wouldn't be finished. It's all because Ying and the second daughter, the maids selected by the family are all rough, and the beauty plan is afraid that it will not be used.

The official's grade is not high, seeing that my dignified earl (Zheng Sipin) is so enthusiastic, it is naturally difficult to shirk, besides, the wine banquet is rich, and it is not taboo to eat and drink, and those who come do not refuse.

Eating and drinking, high liquor, drunken and hazy officials, and incompatible, it is a good opportunity to strike while the iron is hot: "The three choices that adults said ......."

"Let....let the little marquis smile," hearing me mention official business, the official was drunk and embarrassed, and he smirked: "The official is disrespectful....rude, he shouldn't be drunk...... That, hehe. Don't be in a hurry, this is to let you think twice before choosing, don't be in a hurry to reply, and it's not too late to talk about it in half a month. Today, thanks to the hospitality of the little marquis, I am grateful, this ..... and this wine are also on the top, and the words are not good, I dare not delay, and the next official is gone. After speaking, he ignored me, staggered to his feet, smiled drunkenly and waved at the flower shelf next to me, and walked away with three swaying steps.

Tricked by a drunkard! Forget about eating and drinking for nothing, don't pay attention to me before leaving, what does it mean to salute the flower shelf? There is no one in the eyes, hateful!

"Hahaha," Ying, who was hiding behind the screen and peeping at the enemy's situation, jumped out happily when she saw my resentful appearance, "The officials of the household department are all old oils, and they have never seen any battles when they are all fat, and the husband is deflated, right?" ”

"Then you don't want to remind me, it's distressing to waste so much good wine." As soon as the corrupt official came up, he found the beauty of this wine, and even dried two pots, and it was not enough to make a few dozen taels of silver to make flower water, and he really didn't have any scruples, "Haha...Madame is right, this old boy has a set, which suits my appetite." I'll entertain you next time I come. "This official work is oily and clear, interesting." Madam, let's go to the back and discuss it to see which one is suitable. "Shake the flask, there's still half left, I'll just enjoy it."

Ying said without thinking: "What else are you discussing?" It's just the slope behind. As he spoke, he snatched the flask from my hand, "Drink less wine, it hurts your body." ”

"It's okay, I just took a few sips at the beginning, and then you changed the cold water for me. It's a pity not to drink it," he pinched a piece of cold food on the table and threw it in his mouth, "You can think about it, although the slope behind is bigger, you can't beat the grain, and you have to pay the official grain according to the land every year, which is a money-losing goods." ”

"I can't pay for it." Ying shouted to the maid to clean up the mess on the table, "What's the big deal if you can't grow food?" Pomegranates, jujubes, fragrant pears, peaches, apricots, these fruits can be planted in Guanzhong, and our family will plant them all on the slope, and they will make candied fruits after the season, so they can not resist that bit of official food. This matter is on the concubine, the husband only chooses, and now our family can't compare to the food in the past few years, and the dried fruits in the capital are expensive. ”

"Then it's decided, I'll go over to the slope when I turn around." After listening to Ying's words, I was happy in my heart, my wife's ability is to save trouble, "See if the star fruit in the mountains can be planted, and transplant it over." ”

"That's not difficult, let them dig a few trees in the moon and try it, they can't keep it alive." Ying saw that the maid had finished cleaning up the table and went out, so she quietly leaned into my ear and asked, "Why hasn't Princess Lanling shown up in the past two days, and her husband has an awkward relationship with her?" Huh...."

"Go, it's okay." Ying loves to expose people's shortcomings, I'm used to it. "She's been busy in the house for the past two days, making new things, and she'll come tomorrow." The sample coal that Lanling asked for was sent back two days ago, and I was given a few days off, and I don't know what to toss at home. She was a competitive person, and thought that I had never seen coal, and that we were both at the same stage, and that she had seized this good opportunity to see and understand me, so that she could think about it and press me through, and that's what she said.

"Husband, why did you say that the household department turned over the old account at this time? According to our family's land, people gave enough at the beginning, don't be mistaken, right? Ying, who had been excited for a long time, only now remembered this matter, and her words were worried, afraid that the cooked duck would fly again.

When the household officials mentioned this, I figured it out. After Li Zhi got the Huoyao formula, for reasons of secrecy, he never rewarded the Wang family. This time, the excuse is to settle the old account, and it is a reward to give some wasteland rights to this block, and the brothers understand in their hearts, so they just don't say it.

"Since we want it, as long as the land falls to our Wang's family, even if he makes a mistake, he can't go back with a shy face, right? What's more, it is still a slope that does not pay grain, you can rest assured that you will be placed, and if you have something to do with your husband, he can't take our land! "The majesty of the words, if you can, you can do it, not to mention that there is no risk, you can show your masculinity unscrupulously, "Tomorrow, I will call the housekeeper to go to the land, and there will be no master around." Since we don't fight for food, we might as well get more back, which can be regarded as a contribution to the country, and the imperial court can still collect more official food every year, right? ”

"With the words of the husband, the concubine's body will be steady. Don't be tomorrow, it's only past noon, let's start today, finish it early and rest assured. The concubine went in person, this is a major matter in the family, and it is not safe to hand it over to the next person. Ying was talking, and a maid came to report: The big thing is not good, the third generation of maggots raised in the east courtyard (in order to ensure hygiene, I caught flies and bred by myself, and it is estimated that it will be very clean by the third generation) have crawled out, and the yard is full of them, please let me have an idea.

It's okay, it's nothing to lose a little maggot, and it's terrifying to turn into flies. Flying to the east courtyard, the maggot house is full of white flowers, how spectacular!
