Shock! If you don't like bathing, there are still benefits to taking a bath!

"Your Majesty! Spare my life, Your Majesty!"

Several Jinyi Guards carried Yang Wuhou out, and there were eunuchs holding four rockets beside him! It was convenient to tie one to each hand and foot!

Yang Wuhou kicked his legs, twisted his neck backwards, and shouted--

"But Your Majesty! Give me money! Five years... no, three years, I will definitely see results!"

It was like the later generations who first practiced drawing a big pancake to cheat for funds.

[This thing Yang Wuhou said is really not good. It is easy to make the object tied to the rocket launcher spin in place, and it may also deviate...]

--The main reason is that the industrial foundation is not enough.

The old emperor glanced straight at Yang Wuhou, quite proud.

Yang Wuhou suddenly slumped, his whole body wilted like a plant that has not been watered for a long time.

[But you can try to research it, maybe you can make a rocket? Then, with a few "whoosh whoosh whoosh" shots, you can make the gunpowder fly over and blow people up!]

The old emperor said nothing.

Yang Wuhou started shaking again: "Your Majesty! Think about it, Your Majesty! I have already named it! This thing is called Fire Dragon Out of Water! With it, our Daxia will be invincible! Even if we can't research this, we can still make similar weapons! Let's do it step by step!"

[What a pity! The idea is good! But there is no money!]

In Xu Yanmiao's voice, there was also a "pop" sound, which symbolized the accompaniment of parting ways.

The old emperor: )

Thank you, I can't laugh at all.

How could he not know that these fantastic ideas might be feasible? But he had no money. Which of these things would not take time and money to study?

Who knew when the results would come out?

Three to five years would be fine, but I'm afraid it might not be in my lifetime!

Moreover, in addition to money, there are other things to consider.

Mounting a dagger on a bird gun? Good idea, but the dagger is not something that can be glued on with a piece of glue.

Does the bird gun need to be improved? How long should the dagger be so that it does not affect the shooting of the bird gun before disassembly? The blade of the dagger must be sharp enough, otherwise it will be useless even if it is installed.

Hollowing out a stone and stuffing it with explosives? Good idea, but the size and thickness of the stone need to be carefully selected and tested to pick out the best stone that does not affect the power of the explosives? And does the ratio of gunpowder need to be changed?

These all require manpower to study, material resources to support, and time to ferment.

[However, as for money, I wonder if Marquis Yongchang can find the gold and silver mines over there when he fights Japan? ]

Marquis Yangwu was originally silenced by the word "no money", but when he heard about the gold and silver mines, his heart skipped a beat and he stood up all of a sudden. He struggled to break away from the Jinyi Guards, staring at the old emperor with pitiful eyes: "Your Majesty..."

General Wude and General Piaoqi, who also proposed the idea of ​​improving weapons, were not to be outdone: "Your Majesty——"

The three people's thoughts were synchronized at this point:

If you have to pick a weapon to develop first, pick mine first! ! !

The Minister of Revenue was unhappy, and he immediately defended his food: "Your Majesty! It is not advisable to have too many soldiers and too much war!"

[Here it comes! Classic rhetoric: If you want to get the boss's support, you must first put a accusation on the other side!

Xu Yanmiao's thoughts, which were floating and obviously divergent, suddenly focused on the Minister of Revenue, his eyes sparkling: [Can we see another quarrel in the court?]

Since he traveled through time, he knew that when the ministers disagreed with each other in the court, they would quarrel very fiercely.

They would also pull each other down!

They would also paint big cakes for the emperor!

The Minister of Revenue had a calm face, except for his eyes, which contained a little complacency.

For such a small matter, do we need to quarrel to decide who should own the money? Xu Yanmiao is still too young.

"It has been more than 30 years since the founding of the country, and it is time to develop people's livelihood! Those irons should be used to repair agriculture! Those money should be used to operate water conservancy!"

The Minister of Revenue considered his words.

Xu Yanmiao tugged at the sleeve of the clerk of the Ministry of War and whispered: "I bet that the Minister of Revenue will look for the Minister of Works to join forces next. And the Minister of Works will definitely agree!" The clerk of

the Ministry of War asked curiously: "How do you know?"

Xu Yanmiao looked mysterious: "You don't understand..."

In front, the Minister of Revenue, who did not hear the exchange of glances and conversations, had already turned his head to look at the Minister of Works: "Really?"

Agriculture is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue, while water conservancy requires the use of the Ministry of Works.

- Although the manufacture of firearms is also the responsibility of the Ministry of Works, the country is based on agriculture, and this is definitely not as powerful as supporting water conservancy.

The Minister of Works quickly stood in line: "Your Majesty! I think that now is the time to recuperate..."

[Oh, it feels so bad to have a big melon in my mouth and not be able to share it.

Xu Yanmiao's voice was full of regret. I

really want to tell Lian Hang that the Minister of Works will of course agree. His daughter loves and admires the Minister of Revenue. She sighs every day that you were not yet born when I was born, and you were old when I was born...

The Minister of Works stopped talking abruptly and turned his head to look at the Minister of Revenue. If eyes could kill, the Minister of Revenue would have been cut into pieces long ago.

The Minister of Revenue was terrified. Afraid that Xu Yanmiao would hear it, he suppressed his voice and said, "I... I have never met my niece."

The Minister of Works sneered, "Sometimes you don't even need to meet. You are so shameless."

Just wait for me!

The Minister of Revenue: "..."

It's over, the alliance is gone.

The Minister of War immediately added insult to injury, seizing the opportunity to say something insinuating: "Without war, how can we have a chance to recuperate? Don't forget that you can discuss recuperation because the Marquis of Yongchang is fighting Japan."

This was mainly said to the emperor.

Your Majesty! Now we can discuss how to spend the gold and silver mines because we have taken them back in the foreign wars! You can't just give us everything when we need them and kick them away when we don't need them, right?

The old emperor was just thinking...

[Ah! I read it wrong, I read it wrong, sorry. ]

Although no one would hear, Xu Yanmiao still apologized out of habit.

Then the emperor's attention was instantly drawn away.

What did you see wrong?

[It's not the Minister of Revenue, but the Minister of War. ]

Minister of War: "What?!"

Why is it my business?

As soon as he finished speaking, his right eyelid twitched violently.

Turning his head, he found that the slave girl of the Minister of Works had indeed fixed her murderous eyes on him.

If he had not had a weapon at hand, I'm afraid blood would be shed today.

"..."

The Minister of War began to feel tricky and tried to comfort: "... Yongnian, calm down, what if, what if it was a misunderstanding? Look at me... I'm not young anymore, she may have recognized the wrong person."

- Minister of Works, Jin Jingchang, with the courtesy name Yongnian.

The Minister of Works reluctantly wrote to him: "You are right, maybe..."

[Let me see how this is related... Oh, the Minister of War has written many border defense strategies. The daughter of the Minister of Works has liked to wield swords and guns since she was a child. Later, she was exposed to the strategies of the Minister of War and was shocked by the spiritual energy in them. She couldn't help herself. 】

Ka-

the Minister of Works broke the gold and jade belt on his waist with one hand.

[Ah! But...]

The Minister of War took two steps back: "Calm down...Calm down..."

Next to him, the Minister of Revenue had never felt more like escaping death than now.

The other ministers hurried over, some pressed their hands, some hugged their waists.

"Brother Jin! Don't be impulsive. We should think about this matter carefully!"

"Brother Jin! In fact, it may not be a young girl's love. It may just be an admiration for a talented person! Doesn't my niece like sword dance? Let's find 17 or 18 handsome men with strong martial arts skills to show their martial arts in front of her! My niece will definitely--"

The Minister of Industry glared at him with red eyes: "My daughter is still young! She won't like others!"

The minister who was holding him choked and quickly changed his words: "Yes, yes, yes. She won't like it! My niece just sees young talents and likes to challenge them one by one. When she is busy, she is too lazy to care about a minister who she hasn't seen for 800 years."

The Minister of Industry began to think about the possibility of this method.

But before that--

"Get out of the way!!!"

He wanted to beat the old man who was still charming despite his age into a pig's head!

[Huh? What's wrong? What's wrong? Xu Yanmiao poked his head in, extremely excited: [Uneven distribution of benefits, a fight?!]

When he saw clearly that it was the Minister of Works who wanted to unilaterally beat the Minister of War, Xu Yanmiao blinked.

[...Huh?]

[This... He didn't know that his daughter cried for the Minister of War, and he was so fierce. What would happen if he knew?]

"I--"

The Minister of Justice, who was holding the Minister of Works' waist, almost swore. He took two steps back, covered his waist, and grinned: "Jin Yongnian, this guy..."

He directly knocked him away! This--the three ministers couldn't control him!

The Minister of War swallowed his saliva, watching the Minister of Works raise his arm, and the beautiful lines of his forearm muscles when the sleeves of his official uniform slid down. Only one sentence echoed in his mind--

My life is over!

At the critical moment, Xu Yanmiao's inner voice came out late -

[However, maybe the Minister of Works knows that his daughter doesn't like the Minister of War anymore, so he might not be so angry? ]

The Minister of War immediately seized the opportunity, and while the Minister of Works was stunned, he ran behind Xu Yanmiao, who was not tall or strong. Xu Yanmiao was so shocked that he lost his voice and turned around to look at him with wide eyes.

The Minister of War coughed and said hesitantly: "Xiao...Xu, let me hide for a while, I owe you one."

You used to say that I was black-faced! I will write it off!

Xu Yanmiao whispered: "Minister, it's not that I don't want to help, you... you might as well hide behind Yang Wuhou. How can I stop Minister Jin."

"Stop him! Stop him!" The Minister of War blurted out, and seeing that Xu Yanmiao seemed a little confused, he quickly added: "He has always been a face-conscious person, and will never lose face in front of a small official like you. And don't worry, he won't settle accounts with you afterwards. He cares about his face and will find it embarrassing to settle with you."

[Ah? Is that so? ]

The Minister of War nodded vigorously, as if he was just emphasizing his words: "He cares about his face!"

Anyway, no matter whether Jin Yongnian really cares about his face or not, the other party will admit it - would he dare to dance with his belt in front of Xiao Bai Ze?

Xu Yanmiao nodded half-believingly.

After taking a look at the Minister of War's dark face, his mind began to wander.

[I wonder how the Minister of War would feel if he knew that he broke a little girl's heart because he didn't take a bath and was too dirty.]

[Ms. Jin finally got the route his father took after work from him. She hid on the side of the road and saw a big coal ball getting off the carriage. Her heart was broken. She cried directly into the arms of the maid next to her: "I thought he was so talented, I wouldn't mind if he was a little older, but I didn't expect that he didn't like to be clean. I still only like his policy papers."

Minister of War: "!!!"

He was overjoyed.

I didn't expect it! Taking a bath can have such benefits if you don't like to take a bath!!!

I wanted to go back and take a bath today, or... two days later?

The Minister of Works was also overjoyed. He straightened his sleeves, and compared the belt to his waist, trying to tie it back.

And he made a secret resolution in his heart: Never impeach the Minister of War for not liking to be clean! Not liking to be clean is good! It's really great!

[Speaking of which, I don't know if the Minister of Works knows it, but his daughter heard a few days ago that there was a child prodigy who was only seven years old and could compose poems. She was amazed by the spirit and kept saying "I was born before you were born, and you were born when I was old"... Hey, why do I feel that the words are so familiar? 】

Xu Yanmo pondered for a while and opened the past gossip of the lady. Then, he saw a whole list of similar words, all directed at different people.

【tOh, more than just people. When she was sixteen, she took her cousin's pack of tall and mighty hunting dogs to destroy a bandit's den. She couldn't forget those hunting dogs. When she went home, she kept saying: Dog, how come you are just a dog? 】

【So... maybe she is, just talking? 】

The Minister of Industry was so happy that he cried.

At this moment, he just felt that as long as his girl didn't like old men, she could do whatever she wanted.

Didn't she clamor to join the army before! There are even female top scorers! What's wrong with his daughter disguising herself as a man to join the army!

He donated a military officer to her! In this way, she doesn't have to worry about sleeping in the same tent with soldiers and exposing her identity!

——Anyway, most second-generation officials do this! But it's not possible to go any higher. To go higher, you have to rely on military merits.

As for His Majesty...

The Minister of Industry took a look at the old emperor and made up his mind.
