The empress suddenly mentioned the issue of women's fertility, and everyone was a little caught off guard, and after reacting, she couldn't help but look at Lu Chen with some surprise.

This guy... Actually got it right again?!

But for a moment, the look of surprise in their eyes faded.

They have become numb, and they always feel that anything related to Lu Chen, even if it goes against common sense, even if it breaks their cognition, it doesn't seem unacceptable now, after all, since the debut of this guy, all kinds of amazing moves, the final result is almost beyond everyone's expectations.

Whether it's luck or strength, the facts are there, it's so evil.

In the next second, I don't know what came to mind, everyone turned their heads inexplicably, and looked at Wu Yue, the head of the household who was secretly happy to save a huge amount of expenditure for the treasury, and his eyes were inexplicably a little weird.

The land in Montenegro nearby cannot grow any food, and the charcoal has no value, almost all of these lands are owned by the imperial court, and the empress is so supportive of Lu Chen, she will definitely issue an order to strengthen the control of Montenegro in various places, if Lu Chen's judgment on the charcoal is correct, the Tiangong Division has really developed harmless coal, then ...... How much silver does that have to be?

And this silver, which has nothing to do with the treasury, will all fall into the empress's private pocket......

As soon as they thought of this, everyone couldn't help but tremble.

However, when they thought of the poisonous gas when the coal was burned, and the teachings of the sages, there had never been harmless charcoal for thousands of years, everyone shook their heads and quietly put their hearts at ease.

Something that has never happened in the past, no matter how powerful Lu Chen is, it is impossible for Shi Chen to change his life for Shi Tan.

"Intended."

The empress's voice rang out again.

"Lu Chen, the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, has a pure nature, a meticulous heart, insight into numerology, saves countless people, has immeasurable merits, and has made great contributions to the court, and is specially given a seventh-order merit tablet, a plaque of the house of goodness, 300 catties of high-grade spirit stones, and a reward of millions of dollars."

Hearing this, Lu Chen just smiled indifferently, as calm as ever.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long."

He is not worried about being added to the rank because of this matter, his political achievements are not like military merits, as long as he kills the enemy, he can make meritorious contributions, and political achievements can only be made when he is in office, and he is now a squire of the Ministry of Works, and his political achievements come from the Ministry of Works, if the empress wants to increase his official position, he can completely refuse.

With Lu Chen's order of gratitude, this turbulent early dynasty finally came to an end.

After going down, Lu Chen had just left the Taiji Hall and was about to walk towards the Yamen of the Ministry of Works, but Fang Ping suddenly came over.

"Lu Shilang."

As soon as he spoke, Lu Chen didn't react, and as soon as he walked out of the gate of the Taiji Palace, Gu Simiao and Xiao Yun, who were about to speed up their pace, paused slightly, and walked slowly in unison.

After a moment, Lu Chen turned around and bowed to Fang Fang.

"What is Lord Fang's search for?"

Fang Ping coughed lightly, and then the afterglow out of the corner of his eye looked around, and at the same time, he activated his spiritual power, and quietly built a simple barrier around him.

"Lu Shilang, are you sure about this Tiangong Division, or this matter of coal?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen shook his head slightly.

"It can only be said that things are man-made, and it is good to be worthy of your heart."

"yes..."

Fang Ping sighed, hesitated, and then sighed slightly.

"If that's the case...... That's a bit impulsive, this time. ”

Lu Chen shrugged.

Please, when have I not been impulsive before? It's just that somehow it became prescient.

But this kind of thing, naturally, he can't say it.

"The problem has to be solved after all, what Wu Shangshu said is actually right, the money and food that Miss Gu took back from the demon queen is only enough to barely stabilize the situation. Now that the state affairs are difficult, under the accumulation of disadvantages for thousands of years, the financial resources of the imperial court are almost exhausted, and if new financial resources are not opened up as soon as possible, it will still be difficult for Great Xia to get out of the dilemma of chaos and replacement. ”

He whispered unhurriedly, with some kind of power in his voice.

"And for some reason in the past few years, the winter has become colder and colder year by year, this cold winter, nearly 20,000 people in Gyeonggi alone have frozen to death, and more than 50,000 people have been disabled by frostbite.

Fang Ping took his hands and said quite puzzled:

"Not to mention that the modification of coal is as difficult as climbing to the sky, even if it can be successful, and the coal can benefit the people, there will always be people who do not adapt to changes and reject new things and new environments, especially the beneficiaries of old things, not to mention that this is Luojing, the interests of all parties are complicated, and the situation is completely different from Yuzhou.

"Lu Shilang, although you seem to be reckless, but the old man knows that you are actually as careful as a hair, and you are not a reckless person, you must have realized this, and weighed the pros and cons, why ......"

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes slightly.

God is not a reckless man! Lao Tzu is reckless, okay?!

Did this old man have some strange misunderstanding about Lao Tzu?

Immediately after, without waiting for Fang Ping to finish speaking, Lu Chen said in a deep voice:

"It is impossible to break the situation by sticking to the rules and going with the flow, someone must break the routine, change the status quo, cut off the rotten carrion, and let the flesh and blood regenerate, now Your Majesty is so trusting to the lower officials, the lower officials naturally have to be worthy of this trust, as long as it is beneficial to Great Xia, even if it is broken bones, the lower officials should not let it go."

Hearing this, Fang Ping's gaze at Lu Chen quietly flashed with respect.

Anyone who dares to be the first in the world, regardless of the outcome, deserves respect.

Don't look at it as just a small Tiangong Division, but in his opinion, it is very likely that this is a signal, a signal similar to the Tiance Mansion prepared by the Cangming Holy King to change the heavens and the earth.

Although I can't see through the real role of the Tiangong Division, and I don't know if this institution led by Lu Chen and only responsible to the emperor contains energy that can make everyone look at it, but judging from Lu Chen's previous decisions, the Tiangong Division, which was so strongly promoted by Lu Chen, is definitely not simple.

Fang Ping slowly raised his hand and arched towards Lu Chen.

"Lu Shilang is noble, and the old man admires it."

Lu Chen staggered to dodge, and then responded: "Lord Fang's words are serious, the lower officials just did their own thing, and they shouldn't be like this." ”

"Hehe..."

Seeing that Lu Chen refused to accept the salute, Fang Ping didn't say anything, just smiled.

"In that case, then the old man will also do his part for Lu Shilang."

Hearing this, Lu Chen couldn't help but look at him with some curiosity.

Fang Ping didn't sell Guanzi, but said bluntly: "The old man has been up and down for decades, he has been a teacher, a prefect, a prefect, and a political envoy. ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen immediately understood what Fang Ping meant.

This goods are trying to pimp. Oh no, it's a referral.

Fang Ping continued: "Among the old man's protégés, there is a special cultivator, especially a talent who likes to explore the origin of matter, although the temper is a little weird, but maybe it can help Lu Shilang, wait for the old man to repair a book, let her enter Beijing, if Lu Shilang you think she is useful to the Tiangong Division, leave them behind." ”

"If it doesn't come in handy, Lu Shilang, you don't have to worry about the old man, let her go back and forth from wherever she wants."

Hearing this, Lu Chen suddenly had a feeling that someone would send him a pillow when he dozed off.

Lao Fang, this person is still very good~

What is the most lacking in Tiangong Division?

It's not silver, it's talent, professional talent!

If what Fang Ping said was true, then the protégé he said was probably the timely rain of the Tiangong Division.

You must know that in this world where the way of sages and martial arts is prevalent, a cultivator who focuses on the "small way" is quite rare, at least in the Ministry of Industry, which should pay the most attention to technology, there are not a few officials with the potential for invention and creativity.

Not even one.

Fang Ping, this is equivalent to giving him an opportunity to open up the situation......

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Chen bowed to Fang in parallel.

"Thank you Lord Fang, no matter what the result is, the lower officials owe Lord Fang a favor."

Fang Ping chuckled lightly and said: "Lu Shilang is in love, you and I are both contributing to the country, how can we say that we are human, and this is nothing to the old man, it is not a big deal, Lu Shilang does not have to be like this." ”

Lu Chen was noncommittal about this, but just saluted him again, his face solemn.

"In this way, there will be a laborer."

"It's not a bother, it's just a matter of effort."

After a polite gesture, Fang Ping turned around and left.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the yamen of the Sixth Department were not in the same direction, and soon the two turned their backs to each other and walked towards their respective yamen.

Looking at Lu Chen's back as he walked away, Gu Simiao and Xiao Yun did not catch up again, but looked at Lu Chen's back deeply, until his figure completely disappeared, and they took steps again and left the Taiji Hall.

After returning to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, Lu Chen simply dealt with some official documents, then stood up and walked outside.

He was in the engineering department before, and he was clear about the affairs of the Ministry of Industry, and he was promoted to the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry from the ministry, so he could naturally adapt quickly, and he was the governor of the two states for a period of time, and he had in-depth contact with specific local government affairs in order to die suddenly from overwork, and had rich administrative experience.

Therefore, he was not only very efficient in handling the official affairs of the Ministry of Industry, but also able to perceive something intriguing.

It's just that he is always summoned to the Zichen Hall by the empress from time to time, so that he basically has no time to inspect the projects in various places, but simply goes around the departments, bureaus, and institutes, and does not know much about the specific operation of the Ministry of Industry and the construction of various projects.

And because most of his mind was thinking about how to be dismissed and then promoted to immortal, he didn't care much about many things, even if he was vaguely aware of it, he just turned a blind eye and let those "good teammates" bury mines for him.

In addition, the empress was too relieved of him and basically would not interfere in the affairs he was responsible for, so that he became the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, which was just one more big official for the Ministry of Industry, and there was not much change in essence.

Now, however, he is a little concerned about this department that is in charge of the world's fortifications, and has a lot to do for his existence with modern thinking.

After leaving Ziji City, he directly took the scribes specially assigned to him by the two empresses to assist him in his office, and walked towards the Wuji Palace, which was located about a mile east of Ziji City.

Wuji Palace has always been a place for important events held by the imperial court, such as the upcoming New Yuan ceremony, which announced the emperor's pro-government.

At this time, thousands of craftsmen and laborers, under the supervision of some officials of the Ministry of Works, were working hard to repair the places destroyed during the battle between the Cangming Army and the Forbidden Army, and under the command of the array mage, they used spirit stones, charms, spirit costumes and other objects to build various mysterious magic circles.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"The one over there, if you are slow like this, believe it or not, this official will beat you to death with a stick?!"

"If it is because of your cheating and trickery, which cannot be completed smoothly, Your Majesty will blame it, and one of you people will be counted as one, and all of you will die!"

"Hurry up, don't be lazy!"

"Going to the toilet? It's only been two hours since the start of work, like a fart toilet! Lao Tzu sees that your toilet is fake, but laziness is real! ”

"Less nonsense, work for Lao Tzu!"

“……”

In front of the gate of the quickly restored hall, the stern shouts of the officials were endless.

From time to time, there was the sound of whipping and whipping.

A group of people who were conscripted into labor were doing heavy manual work and suffering from the scolding of the officials, and at the same time, their eyes were full of fear, and at the same time, there was a faint glint of resentment in the corners of their eyes.

Some officials who were obviously not from the Ministry of Industry were writing down and recording something.

Seeing this scene, Lu Chen couldn't help but squint his eyes.

He walked directly behind an obese Ministry of Works, and when he saw him waving the long whip in his hand for no reason at all, he immediately said with a cold face:

"This lord is so powerful."

Hearing the voice behind him, the officer was stunned for a moment, then turned around.

In the next second, after seeing the purple robe on Lu Chen's body, his body suddenly trembled, and then he hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"The little one doesn't know that the adult is coming, and it is out of character, I hope this adult will forgive his sins."

Although I don't know what kind of official Lu Chen is, the one wearing a purple robe must be a big official, and this big official's tone is so bad, no matter what, first admit your mistakes and make amends, and then say, there will be no mistakes in the end.

As the saying goes, reaching out and not hitting smiling people, those big people say that they are easy to get along with, but they are actually easy to get along with.

As long as they are given enough face and satisfied with their official authority, they will not embarrass the people under them.

This is also the way of life of the little people.

However, Lu Chen's face did not soothe in the slightest, but looked at him coldly.

"Is that how you usually do things?"

Hearing this, the official couldn't help but be a little confused.

Hasn't it always been like this?

Is there something wrong?

The movement here quickly attracted the others, they looked at it at the same time, and after seeing the purple-robed official who suddenly appeared, everyone hurriedly put down the work in their hands and walked towards Lu Chen quickly.

"Answer the official's words!"

Lu Chen's words suddenly became a lot more severe.

The clerk's face was slammed into a lot of cold sweat.

"Small. Little don't understand what do you mean by adults? Please also make it clear. ”

"Don't understand?"

Lu Chen smiled coldly, and then he didn't look at him, but turned his head to look at the officials who were constantly gathering, and the craftsmen who were looking at him curiously.

Tomorrow will be the most important update
