Chapter Seventy-Four: Fireworks

The construction of the Musket Bureau was still approved by the Cabinet.

The emperor's will is still powerful after all, and after persuading Zhuge Qingshan and Yan Lanfeng, others can't say anything.

I'm just very confused, what the hell is this musket bureau.

"Musket Bureau...... Could it be that the new ordnance is the musket? ”

"What is a musket, who knows a thing or two?"

"I haven't heard of it, is it something capable and newly invented?"

"I have gossip, it seems that this matter is related to Fang Jue."

"Yes, yes, the site of the Musket Bureau is next door to Fangjiazhuang, which was originally a royal manor, but now it has been changed to the yamen of the Musket Bureau."

The will is down, the site selection is completed, and it is completed in a short time.

But it will take time to build.

First of all, there must be a yamen, and then there must be factories, then there must be workers, minerals, money and grain...... Indispensable.

As a formal yamen institution, it will take a few days to go through the formalities and documents.

It's just a discussion in the market, and it's already very lively.

"Fang Jue misunderstood the country!" Someone said so.

"That is, there is a great drought in the land of Sanzhou, and the household department wants disaster relief, but he persuaded His Majesty to establish a musket bureau, which is really hateful!"

"This son is disregarding the people, it's really a cancer, I'm going to Fangjiazhuang to ask him to give an explanation, who will go with me!?"

"Let's go ......"

……

After the early dynasty, Ye Hongyi came and told Fang Jue about the interesting things in the court.

"Then Yan Lanfeng was serious, and he cried in public?" Fang Jue smiled.

"Isn't it?" Ye Hongyi said with a smile, "Lord Yan is an old actor, what big projects His Majesty wants to do over the years, he will immediately cry poor." ”

"Hebu is really embarrassed, right?" Fang Jue sighed, this era is difficult.

But I heard Ye Hongyi say: "What's so difficult about the household? That Yan Lanfeng shows His Majesty false accounts every year, in fact, there are a lot of balances in the household department for many years, and these Hanging Sword Divisions know that they have already told Your Majesty. ”

"What?" Fang Jue was shocked, "He dares to make a fake account to show His Majesty?" ”

"Your Majesty is merciful, and besides, Lord Yan is not corrupt, he is just pretending to be poor, and Your Majesty can help him." Ye Hongyi couldn't help laughing.

Fang Jue couldn't laugh.

This emperor and the household department are really interesting.

"But this time I can't hide it, Your Majesty should have debunked Yan Lanfeng, otherwise he wouldn't have said that the household department was rich." Ye Hongyi knows everything about it.

As the sword envoy of the Hanging Sword Division, Ye Hongyi didn't know very few things, as long as it was not a state secret, she could tell Fang Jue about her private affairs with the emperor.

"However, this time the construction of the Musket Bureau will continue to invest a lot of manpower and financial resources, and the household department will indeed be in a tight situation...... I have to think of a way to relieve His Majesty's worries. Fang Jue said.

Ye Hongyi said: "Your grain can be relieved next year, just wait for next year's autumn harvest." ”

"No," Fang Jue shook his head, "It's too late next year, I don't know what will happen, if you suddenly have to spend a lot of money to do things, the household department will have no way." ”

"In the near future, I have to make some money...... Fang Jue narrowed his eyes.

Ye Hongyi said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's difficult, and I can't scan the people's fat and ointment, how can I get rich quickly?" ”

Extort?

Fang Jue's eyes lit up: "Of course it's not okay to loot the people, but there are so many rich people that there are ......"

On the rich list of the Emperor Pavilion, there are a few in the capital.

In any era, rich people are really extremely rich, and you can find a way to get some out of them.

So, Fang Jue said: "Let your people, check the itinerary of the Hubu Shangshu and find a chance to ......"

Ye Hongyi: "Lord Yan likes to go to the Qinhuai River, as long as he has time, he can be found by the river in the evening." ”

Qinhuai River?

Fang Jue was surprised: "He is not corrupt, where did he get the money to visit the kiln...... Walking the Qinhuai River? ”

"The Teaching Workshop Division is also in Qinhuai River, don't you know?" Ye Hongyi was surprised.

"Huh?" Fang Jue's old face turned red.

It is the Department of Teaching Workshop, which is the official Qinglou, and all of them are the female dependents of the prisoner's family, and they were exiled here after being connected.

The officials of the Great Xia Kingdom are not allowed to be prostitutes, but the official prostitutes in the Jiaofang Division are okay, and Yan Lanfeng can certainly be righteous and bright when he goes to the Jiaofang Division.

Ye Hongyi suddenly looked over and said meaningfully: "You ......"

Fang Juebai glanced at her: "What am I...... Wait for me to get something, and follow me to the Qinhuai River to block the swallows and the wind. ”

……

Although the Qinhuai River is a big river, it is distinct.

The flower boat is close to the north shore, and the teaching department is upstream to the south bank.

Originally, there was a teaching workshop department, and then the Qinhuai River became synonymous with that, so flower boats began to appear on the river, and after a long time, it became even more famous.

Fang Jue took Ye Hongyi to the south bank and waited on the side.

It wasn't until it was dark that Ye Hongyi's subordinates came to report: "My lord, Yan Shangshu is almost here." ”

Fang Jue put down the basket and took out a large plate from it, which was composed of bamboo tubes and tightly sealed.

Tear off the oiled paper to expose a section of lead around the edge.

"What is this?" After Ye Hongyi dismissed his subordinates, he said curiously.

"The most beautiful view at night." Fang Jue smiled and took out an old-fashioned kerosene lighter.

The fire was lit, and the lead quickly ignited, and Fang Jue placed it in the small pit that had been dug a long time ago to prevent it from overturning when it vibrate.

"Boom!"

A burst of fire rushed to the sky, and after a few breaths, it exploded in the night sky, and all kinds of flowers and rain bloomed, making Ye Hongyi stunned.

Then more fire points flew up, and one by one exploded in the night sky, so beautiful that it didn't look like something here.

"Shhh...... It's so beautiful, what is this!? Ye Hongyi smiled, jumped up, and hugged Fang Jue.

I felt that it was inappropriate again, so I immediately let it go.

Fang Jue smiled: "This is called fireworks, it's beautiful, right?" ”

"It's beautiful!" Ye Hongyi's excited little hand almost accidentally pulled out his sword.

On the flower boat of the Jiaofang Division, a middle-aged man heard the sound of the explosion and looked up.

Then he couldn't take his eyes off for a long time, and after all the brilliant light was gone, Yan Lanfeng came back to his senses, and he found that everyone was attracted to attention.

Then I heard someone shouting:

"It's so pretty......"

"What is this, and who did it?"

"Over there, I seem to have seen Mr. Fang, as well as Master Ye of the Hanging Sword Division!"

"Fang Jue?"

Although Fang Jue has been crowned the young master of the crown prince for a long time, everyone is still used to calling him Mr.

Unless it's someone in officialdom.

"It's them!"

Yan Lanfeng saw that Fang Jue was still igniting something, and then there was a burst of fire, and soon the sky was lit with that gorgeous rain of flowers.

It's truly beautiful and unforgettable.

"What a beautiful flower rain...... What's that? ”

People who visit the Qinhuai River today can't help but look sideways, and the old embryos actually forgot to get on the flower boat, and they all went to the south bank.

"Alas, don't go, this noble man ......" The girls on the flower boat were suddenly depressed.

When the crowd gathered, the people of the Hanging Sword Division gathered around Fang Jue and the others, and no one was allowed to approach easily.

Fang Jue continued to light the fireworks, releasing the most beautiful scenery tonight, and the tourists were fascinated.

"Mr. Fang......," someone shouted.

"What is this, sir?"

"Sir, where did you buy this?" A rich lady asked.

Gorgeous and beautiful things are most liked by women, and of course, men actually like them, but they have a hard mouth.

After letting go of the last set of fireworks, Fang Jue turned around and looked at everyone with a smile, knowing that his advertisement was okay.

"Don't come closer, stay away." The soldiers of the Hanging Sword Division shouted to the crowd, for fear that the crowd would come and trample on the two.

However, the people in the capital are especially more afraid of the Hanging Sword Division than the Criminal Department.

After seeing the soldiers of the Hanging Sword Division and the uniforms they were wearing, no one dared to rush forward.

"Mr. Fang, may I ask why this thing is?"

"It's fireworks." Fang Jue said with a smile.

In this era, no king was obsessed with alchemy, so the gunpowder had not yet come out for a while.

Fireworks are even more shadowless.

"Fireworks?"

Ye Hongyi looked at Fang Jue, and already somewhat understood what he wanted to do.

Fang Jue said: "Everyone, do you like this thing?" ”

"I like it!" Not surprisingly, there was a cheer.

"From tomorrow, Fang will set up a stall on the bank of the Qinhuai River to sell this thing...... Everyone, please look at your face. ”

"Sir, is this something made by the Emperor Pavilion?" Someone asked.

Fang Jue didn't care about this merit, and nodded: "It was brought down from the Emperor Pavilion, if you are interested, please wait for you tomorrow evening." ”

"That's a word!" In the crowd, someone shouted for the field.

Ye Hongyi's eyes were sharp, and she found that among the people who made the coax, a few of them were from Fangjiazhuang, and she even saw Fang Fu!

In the crowd of "playthings lost their minds...... there were some officials who immediately shook their heads when they saw this scene.

"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has such a teacher, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

"This firework is indeed beautiful, but it's just a trick and trick, the dignified prince and young master are actually obsessed with it, it's really a misfortune for the family and country......"
