"How do you know if you can't do it if you don't try?"

Yu Yaozhi said with a smile, since ancient times, practice has produced true knowledge, I hope this method will work.

So he asked a few villagers to keep the flowers in pots, ready to wait for the flowers to bloom to see the effect, so as not to cause unnecessary waste.

On this day, because Xie Wushuang had already led his troops to the northwest, he had to be governed by the first emperor.

The Emperor also wanted to take this opportunity to investigate the ordnance.

"Jiang Qing, I heard a report from the Northwest spies that our army has suffered heavy losses due to the poor quality of the ordnance, do you have anything to say?"

When Jiang Hanfeng heard this, he fell to his knees.

"The emperor spares his life! The little ones don't know anything, they don't know anything! ”

Trembling slightly, although he is as timid as a mouse, he is really invincible when he is greedy, and this time the ordnance is his ghost.

In the past, he used second-class ordnance to be shoddy, but now he has replaced the ordnance with a third-class or less, and he has to pay for his greed at the expense of the soldiers in front of him.

Yu Shen on the side hated that iron could not become steel, and he really had no heart.

"Emperor Qiqi, since the last time General Huo asked a man named Jiang Mingshan to manage the ordnance, Brother Jiang has not taken care of the ordnance."

Yu Shen put all the blame on Jiang Mingshan, not to mention, but also helped Jiang Hanfeng clear his suspicions, which was really a good show.

Jiang Mingshan? The first emperor closed his eyes and thought about it, as if he had heard Huo Zhao say that he was a folk ironsmith, and now he had been promoted by Huo Zhao to the deputy governor of the armory, second only to Jiang Hanfeng.

However, since those who can go to the court are all at the level of the governor, Jiang Mingshan is not qualified to step into the court.

If Jiang Mingshan was here, maybe he would have been so angry that he would go up and beat this person directly.

"Okay, Xuan Jiang Mingshan enters the palace!"

The adjutants at the level of non-Zheng governors were waiting outside the court, and few were announced, and Jiang Mingshan couldn't help but be happy when he heard his name.

Could it be that I took care of it so well that the first emperor had to praise me for not being able to, coupled with the envy of the same officials around me, Jiang Mingshan was very happy.

So he strode in, only to see Jiang Hanfeng kneeling on the ground, and then he felt that something was wrong.

"You are Jiang Mingshan?"

The Emperor asked, looking the middle-aged man up and down.

Jiang Mingshan entered the main gate palace for the first time, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while, and quickly knelt down and bowed.

"Back to the emperor, his subordinates are exact."

There are many etiquettes in this palace, and his etiquette is a little stiff, and the officials around him laugh.

Only one person didn't laugh, he looked at Jiang Mingshan quietly like this, and Jiang Mingshan naturally noticed him in a group of people.

Sensing the increasingly intense laughter of those people, Jiang Mingshan bowed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, after all, no matter how he said it, he was just a country master.

"It's okay, keep your head up and talk."

The first emperor said with a righteous face.

"A manly man should be upright, not afraid of any vision, and sit upright."

The first emperor is worthy of being the first emperor, although he is close to his twilight years, his aura is still as strong as when he was young, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he shut up the surrounding ministers.

It also gave Jiang Mingshan confidence, he couldn't help but admire this former emperor in his heart, and he didn't know what the saint looked like today, but with such a righteous and awe-inspiring father, it was probably not far behind.

I really want to see it one day, Jiang Mingshan thought like this, and raised his head.

"Jiang Qing, let me ask you, do you know that the war in the northwest is tense now?"

"Back to the emperor, the minister knows. I heard that the battle was fierce. ”

After all, the war in the northwest is not a trivial matter, and it is naturally known to everyone.

But compared with the tragedy, Jiang Mingshan is more worried about his daughter's safety.

still remembers that night, Jiang Xueyan wanted to go secretly the next day, but when she packed her bags, she was still discovered by Jiang Mingshan.

"You're... Going to the Northwest? ”

Jiang Mingshan asked eagerly, after all, now that the palace is recruiting troops everywhere, it is not difficult to guess.

"Daddy... I.."

Jiang Xueyan couldn't hide it anymore, but she didn't know how to explain to her father, once something happened on the battlefield, the result would only be a white-haired person sending a black-haired person.

"Although I promised you to be a female general, do you know how tight the northwest is now, otherwise General Huo would not be so nervous about recruiting troops!"

Jiang Mingshan is a brain, and naturally guessed that the series of measures in this palace is nothing more than that the war is too tense, and there is no way to select soldiers among civilians.

"Dad, but as a female general, don't you have to go to the battlefield to fight? Could it be that if I enjoy the blessings at home and move my mouth, I will be able to become a person? ”

Jiang Xueyan's words made Jiang Mingshan speechless.

After a long time, he slowly spoke.

"I just don't want you to be like your mother, leaving me alone in this world."

Hearing this, Jiang Xueyan trembled slightly, and her eyes suddenly began to sour, but she still forced out a smile.

"Don't worry, Dad, don't you know your daughter's skills?"

She naturally knows that this possibility is worrying, and there may be no return, but no one can change what she decides.

"I'm also old, I can't persuade you, if you want to go, go away, be sure to protect yourself, by the way, Fang Huai's kid will also go with you?"

Jiang Mingshan asked as if he suddenly thought of something.

Jiang Xueyan nodded after hearing this.

"He's going, he's going to go. What's wrong? ”

"It doesn't matter. Just ask. ”

Hearing that Fang Huai also went with him, Jiang Mingshan's heart that had not landed on the ground was put down a little.

Xu felt that Fang Huai had the ability to protect Jiang Xueyan, and it was also a kind of reassurance to him.

The Emperor then spoke:

"Then do you know that the reason for the tragic situation of the war is that the quality of the ordnance is worrying?"

These words shocked Jiang Mingshan's heart, it turned out that he was here to ask the teacher to ask for guilt.

"Back to the first emperor, I, Jiang Mingshan, am willing to swear by the head of the person, it is impossible for the ordnance made by my hands to be of poor quality! May the emperor see clearly! ”

These words were deafening, and the emperor saw that Jiang Mingshan was not the one who was cheating and cheating, and he began to secretly ponder in his heart.

At this moment, a person stood up, and it was the person who didn't laugh at Jiang Mingshan just now.

This person is Zhao Shuaibing, the head of the household, who has always liked to be alone and does not participate in the rights and wrongs of the court, and today he stood up, and everyone was inevitably a little surprised.

"Zhao Qing, what do you think?"

The Emperor asked.

"Back to the emperor, Gao Jian didn't dare to say it, but the minister had something to tell him."

Zhao Shuaibing bowed slightly.

"Tell me about it."

"A few days ago, when the minister was sorting out the accounts of the household department, he happened to hear a conversation between Governor Chiang and his subordinates of the Ordnance Department, and according to what Governor Chiang said at that time, the ordnance subordinates were ordered to pick the cheapest raw materials."

"Oh? Jiang Qing, is this true? ”

After hearing this, the emperor turned his head and asked Jiang Hanfeng, but Jiang Hanfeng couldn't help but be a little suspicious, and after hearing this, he hurriedly kowtowed again and again.
