Section 282 - Bribery of the court
According to Lin Mo's guidance, the supreme head of the Imperial Military Department, Duke Okassi, Lord Adelaide held the mechanical clock, and while learning to wind himself, calibrate the time and set the alarm, he said with emotion: "This magical thing reminds me of the old servant Hudson who has been keeping vigil for me, poor old Hudson, if he had this thing, he would have been able to sleep well every day, and he would not have to turn day and night upside down every day to help me keep the time to wake up." ”
Although he has developed a stable biological clock in his long-term military career, Adelaide does not fully trust his biological clock, there are always exceptions to everything, and he is not willing to delay major events because of oversleeping.
Therefore, a faithful old servant was in charge of keeping vigil, and every morning at about the same time, he was awakened from his bed.
If this chronograph mechanical clock was as accurate as Lin Mo said, he could sleep more peacefully, and he could also allow a poor old servant to return to his normal routine.
"Well, Lord Adelaide, you can use it first, and if you have any questions, you can come to me! ”
The mechanical clock is also limited to a few ministers, and Lin Moman's method of selling the mechanical clock in the hall is through Qi Fei's face-to-face teaching.
For the price, but not a single gold coin was mentioned, this kind of retreat as a means of advancing made these ministers embarrassed to take it for nothing, this is related to the face problem, there is really no need to make people grab a few hundred gold coins and laugh at the pain.
Although he didn't mention it in person, after the dispersal of the dynasty, most of them would send their servants to send the money to No. 78 Nuoxiang Street.
Although it is possible to give less, it is more likely to give a generous premium for the sake of face, and all in all, Qi Fei's idea only makes money and does not lose money.
One mechanical clock after another was taken out by Lin Mo from the talent space of the silver dragon egg and sent to the ministers, which was still very interesting for the timekeeping tools that were accurate to the tick of the moment.
"What is this guy doing?"
For Home Secretary Harrison, who was completely ignored himself. His face became extremely ugly.
The Ministers of War, Finance, and Law were all presented with a beautiful mechanical clock, but he was empty-handed, and the royal guard did not even look at him, nor did he have any intention of coming over, so that Harrison was a little unable to get off the stage, and could detect the strange glances of some of the ministers.
Leng didn't say a-for-tat sentence, nor did he have any provocation and contempt, but he insisted that the Minister of Civil Affairs was like a thorn in the back, and he felt like he was being slapped in the face.
What a disgusting thing this is!
Lin Mo had long seen that Harrison and Gran, father and son, were purely white-eyed wolves. Even if he gives away a hundred mechanical clocks for nothing, the other party will not receive the slightest love, and even turn his face and deny the person, and he will take revenge.
"It's so lively!"
His Majesty the Emperor entered the council hall, and saw the scattered formation in the hall, and he didn't know what the ministers were pondering and discussing, and he also saw the royal guard Mo Lin, but it was a little strange and did not maintain order in the palace. I don't know what these ministers say.
The hall immediately fell silent, and the ministers quickly lined up according to their positions.
"Your Majesty, the minister reported that the guard Lord Morin blatantly disturbed the order of the court, and used public weapons for private purposes. What is the difference between using the court to sell goods privately and low-class people? It really hurts the dignity of the royal family!"
Home Secretary Harrison immediately seized the opportunity.
"The minister testifies that Lord Harrison's words are true!"
Another civil affairs official jumped out and echoed his superiors.
It seems like more than that. The officials of the first civil affairs department jumped out one after another, for no other reason, and none of the civil affairs officials got the magical timekeeping alchemy. In addition to the red eyes, it is natural to be jealous and hateful.
However, because of the benefits, none of the officials of the military, legal, and civil affairs departments came out and fell into the ground.
"Selling goods?" His Majesty Cyril lowered his voice and turned his gaze to Lin Mo, who had returned to his position, and said, "Morin, tell me, what are you selling privately?" let me take a look. ”
"Yes!
The dragon-shaped tiger came to the front of His Majesty the Emperor in a step, Lin Mo didn't say much after standing still, and then took a step, and a cylindrical object nearly a person high appeared in the sky as if by magic.
"Hisss!~"
"The dragon god is above!"
"This, this is?"
Immediately, there was a gasp in the main hall, and there were all kinds of exclamations.
Click, click, the slight sound of the escapement could be heard clearly in the silent hall.
There were nine glittering golden beams on the huge cylindrical object, and the slender unknown creatures were wrapped around a clock dial, and the heads of those unknown creatures were more like dragons, but no one had ever seen or even heard of such creatures in either the dragons or the wurms.
However, the strange thing is that these nine unknown creatures have an innate noble temperament all over their bodies, faintly echoing the imperial majesty under Cyril's majesty.
At the bottom of the high column, behind the transparent crystal plate, a long straight object inlaid with sparkling gems is constantly swaying, and other details are also extremely exquisitely worked, and they are not stingy with precious gems inlaid in many positions, and the whole body is shining, with the nine nameless creatures, which are extremely eye-catching in the main hall, and suddenly a domineering and majestic look at the world arises spontaneously.
"Your Majesty, this is a mechanical clock customized for you!"
Lin Mo took a step back again, allowing His Majesty Cyril, who was a little stunned, to take a closer look.
"Your Majesty, the minister reported that Lord Morin used a mechanical clock to bribe the ministers!"
At this time, a civil affairs official in the council hall loudly accused Lin Mo of Fang Cai's behavior.
The map cannon was fired a little too big, and the other three ministers glared angrily at this blind guy.
I didn't get this-stirring stick myself, so I wanted to lift someone else's pot, and everyone simply couldn't eat it together, which was just too shameful.
"Harrison, is that so?"
His Majesty, the Emperor of the Silan Empire, finally took his eyes off the floor-to-ceiling pendulum clock full of tall style.
"This, this, indeed!"
Glaring fiercely at the troublemaker, Harrison could only sit down and settle the charge.
"Well, Maureen, you've managed to bribe me, and this mechanical clock is here. ”
His Majesty's answer to Cyril was beyond everyone's expectations, as an emperor, this is too undisciplined!
I'm afraid no one has thought that for the head of a country, there is no such thing as bribery, only the exchange of benefits and rewards and punishments.
"Xie Lu, Xie Xie, Your Majesty!"
Lin Mo's reaction was as calm as the emperor's, and he didn't take the report of the civil affairs department to heart at all.
"Hmm!~ Mo Lin, is there any extra mechanical clock in this machine, and it seems that the Diligent Government Hall is also missing. ”
"It's good, Your Majesty!"
Boom!~ Another Nine Dragons pendulum clock blinded the eyes of the ministers. (To be continued......)
