Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a little colder, Jiang Ning suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, the minister remembered that he also found a good object for His Majesty this time, so I brought it to Your Majesty."

After he finished speaking, he was about to walk outside the study.

stopped again and looked back at He Yuyao.

Jiang Ning wasn't sure if leaving this woman here alone would do anything to Zhu Houzhao.

The previous experience in Hefu is still fresh in his memory.

To tell the truth, no man can stand He Yuyao's seduction like this.

What's more, Zhu Houzhao is at the age when his love is beginning to bloom.

Of course, Jiang Ning is determined to avoid it.

He Yuyao noticed the worry and suspicion in his eyes, and understood it after a little thought.

Suddenly, her heart seemed to have fallen to the bottom, and her eyes were filled with deep loneliness and self-deprecation.

"I'll go with you."

"Okay."

Jiang Ning was stunned, and finally nodded.

Without saying a word, the two walked to the storeroom.

He Yuyao deliberately walked behind him and distanced himself from him.

And this distance is like an insurmountable gap between the hearts of the two.

While Jiang Ning was rummaging for something, He Yuyao suddenly closed the door, leaned against the door, with tears in the corners of her eyes, staring at his back tightly and said:

"My lord, you don't trust your subordinates like this?

Or is it that in the eyes of adults, subordinates are just scumbags who are keen to entertain others and seek benefits for themselves? ”

My family knows my own business.

Even though He Yuyao is innocent, in the eyes of the world, she is undoubtedly a person who once sold her body to gain benefits for the He Mansion.

Jiang Ning didn't know the inside story, so he naturally thought so.

He took a deep breath and said without emotion:

"I admit that I misunderstood you just now, and I apologize to you.

But we get along very well now, and I ask you to continue to cooperate. ”

He Yuyao listened to his indifferent words, smiled miserably, bit her red lips tightly, and two lines of tears hung on her slightly pale cheeks.

"Subordinates, they all listen to adults."

She just felt like her heart was going to break.

Chu Chu's pitiful and sad aggrieved appearance makes any man want to hold him in his arms and comfort him when he sees it.

Bi Jiangning turned a blind eye, and after digging out a knife from the box, he opened the door and walked out.

But suddenly, he stopped again and said:

"I still remember how beautiful the girl's smiling appearance was when I first met Miss Yuyao.

Don't defile it, girl, don't defile it......"

With that, he walked away without looking back.

And He Yuyao's eyes flashed a glimmer of brilliance again, wiped away her tears, and muttered in a low voice:

"It's really a wrongdoer, you make me can't die."

Jiang Ning returned to the study.

"Your Majesty, what the minister wants to present is this treasure knife, please take a look at it."

Zhu Houzhao took it eagerly with a full face, and pulled it out with a "cang" sound.

"Good, good, what a sword!"

That's right, what Jiang Ning dedicated to Zhu Houzhao was a Japanese knife.

"I've seen a lot of the best blades in the Imperial Palace, and there are also a lot of sharp swords, but none of them are as good as this one.

Jiang Shiyu, you have a heart. ”

Zhu Houzhao said, excitedly holding it in his hand and making a few chopping movements.

"Good! The weight is just right, too! ”

Seeing that he was excited, Jiang Ning couldn't help but say:

"Your Majesty, the sword is as hard as iron, and it is such a weapon that is often used by Japanese samurai.

It is also not uncommon among the Japanese invaders.

It's just that the standard weapons used in my Ming army are not as hard as this, and it is easy to fall into disadvantage against the Japanese invaders. ”

Zhu Houzhao sighed and said:

"It is very true, but the swords are made of fine iron, and the cost is expensive.

My Ming army is more than one million, if everyone has to use such a sharp weapon, how can the treasury support it. ”

Suddenly, he changed his words and said with a smile:

"Still, I have some solutions here."

Jiang Ning was stunned.

He just talked about it casually, but he didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to have a way.

Zhu Hou looked at Jiang Ning as if he didn't believe him, and said hurriedly:

"The sword is an iron sword, and although it is sharp, it cannot withstand the impact.

If you want to restrain yourself, you can use a blunt instrument such as an iron rod.

In addition, as long as the handle of the spear is soaked in tung oil, it will be tough and strong, and even if it is slashed by a sword, it can not be easily cut. ”

Jiang Ning immediately praised: "Your Majesty is erudite and talented, and the ministers admire him to the fullest. ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said:

"Where do I know this, it is some time ago, Hainingwei's escape from the enemy was known to the DPRK, when even a military department chief wrote that he wanted to improve his weapons.

I looked at it and made a note of it.

By the way, he seems to be called Wang Shouren, it should be this name. ”

Jiang Ning was stunned.

It's a saint, that's fine.

And Liu Jin on the side heard this name, his eyelids jumped, and his face showed a different color.

At this time, He Yuyao walked back from outside the door.

She glanced at Jiang Ning without a trace and said:

"Your Majesty, this knife is very sharp, it is a good knife for blowing hair and breaking hair."

"Oh? He Qing also has research on knives? ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "It's also thanks to Jiang Shiyu for finding it for me." Speaking of which, there are also a lot of good things in this exotic country. ”

He Yuyao nodded yes and said:

"Although my Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, with a vast territory and abundant products, it is not as big as the world in the world after all, and there are still some shortcomings.

Just a lot of spices and melons and fruits are imported from Fanbang.

It can be seen that foreign countries are not as unbearable as we think, and they should not be completely taken lightly.

It is because the grass people think that although the Celestial Empire is large, when it is as all-encompassing as the Tang Dynasty, it can be truly strong and stand on the top of the universe. ”

Zhu Houzhao listened and nodded incessantly.

"He Qing's words are reasonable, and I think so."

And Jiang Ning saw that He Yuyao preemptively said what she wanted to say, and couldn't help but glance at her in surprise, and an inexplicable emotion welled up in her heart.

He Yuyao noticed that he was looking towards him, and snorted lightly in an imperceptible nasal voice, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

Unconsciously, Zhu Houzhao and Jiang Ning chatted for a while.

Just as he was about to drive back to the palace, Jiang Ning hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, do you have something to ask for here?"

"Oh? You don't need to pay that much attention to each other. ”

Jiang Ning was relieved when he heard this, and said, "Your Majesty, do you remember that the daughter of Imperial Physician Zheng is the one who rewarded the ministers as slaves and maids and treated my wife?" ”

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while: "Naturally, I remember, did she treat Sister Yun'er's illness well." ”

"Fortunately, thanks to her efforts, my wife is already healed.

Therefore, the minister asked His Majesty if he could pardon her lowly status and restore her to a good citizen. ”

"That's it."

Zhu Houzhao replied casually:

"I can't be justified.

Moreover, since she took good care of Sister Yun'er, she must not be rewarded.

Then let her be a female official in the hospital, and stay in your house to see a doctor. ”

Jiang Ning was overjoyed: "The minister thanked Your Majesty for Miss Zheng." ”

"Hehe, no thanks, no thanks, I'm leaving.

Jiang Shiyu, I'll come to see you next time. ”

"Your Majesty."

Jiang Ning said, summoned a maid to say a few words, and hurriedly sent Zhu Houzhao out of the house.

The maid got his orders and ran into the back house as if flying.

He Yuyao witnessed everything, and saw that Jiang Ning was so attentive to Zheng Fangrui, but he had that attitude towards himself, and his heart was sour.

A few days later.

Since Jiang Ning hinted that Jiao Fang was in the court to cultivate new crops, he was strongly opposed by his ministers.

The reasons are all uniform.

That is, it is not certain what the yield of the new crop will be.

If you plant it rashly, it will not be as good as rice and grain, and it will be a waste of a year in vain.

It is really harmful to the country's social welfare.

As a result, Zhao Gong, a member of the Ministry of Officials sent out by Jiao Fang, was attacked by the Yanguan and the Imperial History.

Almost didn't get impeached.

After Jiang Ning received this news, he said to Jiao Fang:

"After all, it's a new thing, and it's reasonable for officials not to trust it.

In this way, I will find some places to try planting, and when the results are obtained, it is not too late to write to His Majesty. ”

"Your Excellency is wise."

Jiao Fang hurriedly complimented.

Jiang Ning pondered for a while, and slowly spoke:

"I told you last time that Zhu Yunming, a talented son of Wuzhong, has already made a name for himself and can be an official.

When he comes back with grain, he will pick a good place and let him be a county parent and try planting locally. ”

Jiao Fang hesitated: "My lord, will this county be too small to see the results." ”

Jiang Ning took a sip of tea and continued:

"When I was fighting against the Japanese in the south of the Yangtze River, I found a talent, that is, Zhang Yunrang, the salt transport envoy of Haining.

His person Yunwen Yunwu, extraordinary intelligence, qualifications and merits are almost the same, find an opportunity, promoted to the deputy commander of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division, and try planting in the army. Expand your reach.

By the way, Yan Song of the Hanlin Academy has extraordinary ability, so he will be transferred to the household department to be a langzhong.

He is a shrewd and knowledgeable person, and believes that he can handle all things well in farming. ”

"The lower officials have written it down."

Jiao Fang nodded again and again.

He is a native of Jiangning, and he wants to see his party become more and more powerful.

Only in this way can political ambitions be realized.

"Well, do you have anyone else you want to recommend?"

"I'm about to report to the adults.

Although Zhao Gong, the head of the Ministry of Officials who wrote to the lower officials, had some small defects in his morality, he was quite capable and exquisite, and he could be used. ”

Jiang Ning pondered for a while and said, "Then find a way to go to the household department to supervise the household department." ”

"Xia Guan understands."
