After Na Dapeng retreated, Zhao Jun coughed lightly twice and then said to Baiguan:

"Ahem, what the first emperor did, we don't have to say anything more.

But since the country is willing to spend so much money on weapons, I think we still need to show our great powers. ”

Liu Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, immediately stood up and arched his hand with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, although this silver is good, our arsenal has been checked by the first emperor, and now we really can't find the kind of weapon that the envoy of the Luo Kingdom wanted!" ”

Liu Jin's subconscious meaning is, Your Majesty, your father has already sold out all the discarded weapons in our inventory, where are we going to find so many rusty weapons for others?

Cui Wen, the head of the household, immediately stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister disagrees with the words of the Ministry of War, since there is no such weapon in the inventory now, why don't you just get this weapon?

This is not a reason and excuse to watch 150,000 taels of gold not earn! ”

Liu Jin immediately glared at him, and angrily reprimanded Cui Wendao:

"Cui Shangshu, the official knows that you want to take the silver, but you also have to consider the reality, now we don't have this weapon in stock at all, where is the official going to get it?

Isn't it possible to conjure it up? ”

Cui Wen directly began to play scoundrel, touched the snow-white beard on his chin and said: "I don't care about you as an official, this silver can't go into the treasury, then the budget of the Ministry of War will be reduced by three percent next year!" ”

"Cui Wen! Shame on you! You're threatening me with the budget of our military department! ”

"The old man didn't! The household department has no money, so it can only reduce expenses, among which the manuscript fee of your military department is the largest, so naturally you must cut the expenses of the military department first! ”

"You fart! You just did it on purpose! ”

"The old man didn't!"

……

As they spoke, the two began to scold each other.

Then other officials of the Ministry of War also began to join in the spraying, and the household department was naturally not to be outdone and began to spray.

Two of the six parts of the hall are arguing in the court!

Then there was a quarrel, and both sides were ready to start working.

Seeing that the two sides were already rolling up their arms and sleeves, Zhao Jun finally spoke out to stop them!

"Enough! What a noise! This is the court! ”

Only then did the two sides glare at each other angrily and stopped moving.

Seeing that the military headquarters below still looked like they were ready to fight, Zhao Jun rubbed his forehead with a headache.

You still look like you're going to fight, I'm saving you, don't look at you as a soldier, but can your physique compare with those people in the household department who can run horses with tall horses and big arms?

Wait a minute, give someone one hand and rub it on the ground, and you will know that you will regret it.

Rubbing his forehead and restraining his thoughts, Zhao Juncai turned his head and asked the Ministry of Works: "Shi Aiqing, is there a way for the Ministry of Industry to make the iron rust quickly?" ”

Shi Bin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, also turned bitter when he heard this, and arched his hand:

"Your Majesty, what the Ministry of Industry has always done is how to prevent iron from rusting, how to make iron rust quickly, Chen really hasn't done it!"

Zhao Jun had no choice but to say:

"Can't you do it if you haven't done it before?

As the most exquisite place in the world, the Ministry of Industry gathers craftsmen from all over the world, and this problem must be difficult for you.

I will give you seven days, and your Ministry of Engineering will study the technology and then take a holiday, otherwise you will not take this annual leave.

Of course, if you can research the technology, I will reward the entire Ministry of Industry, and everyone in the Ministry of Industry will be paid three times the salary, and those who have researched the technology will be paid ten times! ”

Seeing that a big burden fell on him, Shi Bin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, had to bow his hand with a bitter face and said: "The minister accepts the order!" ”

Cui Wen, the head of the household department on the side, said with a smile on his face: "If Shi Shangshu can research the technology, the old man guarantees that the budget of the Ministry of Industry this year can be discussed again!" ”

Shi Bin's spirit suddenly lifted when he heard this, can he discuss it again?

Does this mean that it can go up?

This is related to the interests of the entire Ministry of Industry, do it! to death!

Shi Bin suddenly replied solemnly: "Cui Shangshu rest assured, my Ministry of Industry will definitely do its best!" ”

……

After going down, Shi Bin ran to the Ministry of Engineering non-stop.

As soon as he entered the Ministry of Works, he shouted loudly and called the heads of the various divisions over.

When he told everything that had happened in the court today, everyone was not only speechless at Tarara's strange request, but also excited about the generous reward!

Triple the moon!

The technology is ten times more developed!

There is also a household department that promised to renegotiate the budget!

You have to fight for it!

Shi Bin sat on the main seat of the Ministry of Works, holding a ruler in his hand, and pointed at the eight big characters on the wall behind him how to make iron rust quickly, and said to his subordinates with a solemn face:

"This year's Chinese New Year, whether we eat bran and drink thin or big fish and meat, we rely on this fight!

Ladies and gentlemen!

Your Majesty only gave us seven days, seven days! Cheng then raised the ministry to celebrate, everyone took the rich monthly salary home for the New Year, and everyone stayed in the Ministry of Industry to work overtime!

How you decide!

How to do it, you also have a scale in your heart.

What's next is up to you! ”

A group of officials from the Ministry of Industry shouted:

"Swear to the death to study the method of rapid rusting of iron tools!"

"Swear to the death to study the method of rapid rusting of iron tools!"

"Swear to the death to study the method of rapid rusting of iron tools!"

……

Soon the news spread throughout the Ministry of Industry, and when it was learned that he could get three times the monthly salary for completing the task, and that he himself was ten times the news, all the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry went crazy and began to desperately do experiments.

The whole Ministry of Industry moved, and the palace was already celebrating the New Year.

The disturbances outside can't disturb the current Ministry of Industry at all.

Just when everyone was working hard, finally on the third day, there was a sudden shout of excitement in the workshop of the Ministry of Industry!

"Hahahaha! I've found a way! That's great! I've found a way! Hahaha! ”

The surrounding officials of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly stepped forward to check, and sure enough, in front of the craftsman, a piece of iron covered with rust was lying quietly on the workbench and appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone in the Ministry of Industry looked at each other for a while, and at this time, Shi Bin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, also received the news and rushed over, and hurriedly asked, "But have you tried it repeatedly?" ”

The craftsman hurriedly took out three different pieces of iron from under the workbench, the only thing that was the same was that they were covered with rust.

"How?"

Shi Bin's lips trembled with uncontrollable excitement.

The craftsman immediately said: "Back to Shangshu, we know that most of the rust in the past was either left unput for a long time, or it was not stained with water, so the iron will rust."

But these will take a long time, and naturally they are not eligible.

But the small hometown is the seaside to boil salt, once in the middle of the night the pot for boiling salt overturned, but I don't know whose shovel is right next to the pot, the next day when I get up to take the shovel is full of rust.

When I thought about this, I thought about which process to replicate, and then after experimentation, I finally came up with the right method.

It turns out that as long as you boil the salt water, the more salt the better, and soak the iron in it, and the iron will rust in a very fast time!

So far, it took less than half an hour for the fastest piece of iron to rust. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Ministry of Industry suddenly showed joy, and Shi Bin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, hurriedly asked: "Really? ”

The craftsman nodded heavily: "Really! ”

Shi Bin immediately called someone to prepare, and soon everything was ready, when the hot salt water was poured on a specially found brand new hoe and soaked the entire metal hoe, everyone stared at the change of the hoe without blinking.

After about half an hour, someone suddenly exclaimed!

"Raw! Raw! That hoe is rusty! ”

The people looked where he was pointing, and sure enough, they saw that a small patch of rust had grown on the hoe, and there were faint signs of expansion!

Everyone looked at each other, and then cheered in unison!

"It's done! It's done! It's done!

March is a good month! Here you go! We can go home for the New Year! Hahaha......"
