"ah?"
He Fang's CPU was burning up, after all, he had never dared to think of such a bold idea.
Even someone like me, a layman, knows that adding too much of one element might have the opposite effect.
Since it's a ratio that was set by someone else, it means that this ratio has been verified and should be the best.
Although he didn't know if it was feasible, He Fang thought for a moment that the higher the proportion of copper, the more copper the court would purchase, and the more money Prime Minister Sima could extract from it.
If he's happy, how could I possibly miss out?
This is truly killing two birds with one stone!
He Fang smiled excitedly and immediately responded.
"Yes! Your Majesty's wisdom is truly unparalleled throughout the ages. Your humble servant will do as you say!"
Watching his departing figure, which couldn't hide his joy, Qin Yu couldn't help but sneer.
According to intelligence provided by the Blood Droplets, the two copper mine shafts that were damaged and collapsed were attacked in Kyushu.
Sima Lie kept this matter a top secret and would not reveal it to outsiders, presumably to avoid shaking the morale of his followers.
In other words, he had just been betting that no one knew about this.
Unexpectedly, I made the right bet!
Qin Yu's smile grew colder and more ruthless.
This time, I'll make He Fang lift a rock only to drop it on Sima Lie's foot!
Prime Minister, let's wait and see!
Having finished arranging everything, Qin Yu was in a great mood.
Zhao Yan's delicate face unconsciously reappeared in my mind.
Just as I was about to set off to check on her, Yu Zhu’s delicate voice suddenly came from outside the door.
"His Majesty……"
She was dressed rather revealingly. When she came in front of me, she wrapped one arm around me, her eyes filled with longing. She deliberately leaned forward, revealing half of her soft skin, her seductive advances extremely obvious.
"Oh? Yuzhu?" Qin Yu feigned arousal, his lewd gaze fixed on her front. "What business do you have with me?"
"Yuzhu misses Your Majesty, can't she come and see you?"
"Sure! Of course!"
As he spoke, Qin Yu's large hands began to wander.
Yu Zhu's face was flushed as she flattered him while inquiring about the important matter at hand.
"Your Majesty, what did you summon that minor official from the Ministry of Revenue for today? He was so ugly that several of us ladies in the harem were so frightened that we didn't eat lunch."
This cunning little fox! Qin Yu could easily see the true meaning behind her words.
This woman is testing me.
His every move was closely monitored, and even meeting a minor official like a clerk would immediately arouse suspicion.
Fortunately, he had Sun Jiachen stage a self-inflicted injury; otherwise, they would have become even more suspicious.
Bang!
Qin Yu slammed his hand on the table, feigning great anger, and launched into a tirade of curses.
"That damned Sun Jiachen, how dare he speak ill of the court! Does my court have the right to be slandered by people from afar? How dare a mere minor official like a registrar disregard my authority?"
"Who is it? Who gave him the courage? Where is my dignity?"
“If I see him again, I will give him another thirty strokes of the cane so that he can continue to work with his injuries and be ridiculed.”
Yu Zhu's beautiful eyes gleamed as she quickly processed the messages. A moment later, she couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
You are such a foolish ruler, what face do you have left? Those ministers have slandered you before, why don't you dare to confront them?
He was clearly just venting his anger on those small fish and shrimp.
Pooh!
This tyrannical ruler was also a bully who preyed on the weak and feared the strong.
He was extremely disdainful inside, but on the surface he showed a worried expression.
"Oh dear... Your Majesty, please don't get angry. It would be bad if you lost your temper!"
While scolding, she raised her small fist and punched Qin Yu's thigh.
"Your Majesty, let me massage your legs. Please don't think about these upsetting things anymore!"
At this moment, Yuzhu was extremely gentle and considerate. Her delicate goose face was beautifully framed, making Qin Yu exclaim in admiration how beautiful she was!
He pretended to be extremely lecherous, chuckling as he stroked Yuzhu's delicate cheeks.
"Good, good! My jade bead is still the best to me! It never makes me angry."
Her lips were already smiling before she even opened them, her eyes were alluring and her cherry-like mouth was enchanting and tempting. It could be said that the most distinctive and beautiful feature on this woman's face was her perfectly shaped red lips!
Cherry parted slightly to reveal her silver teeth, and Yuzhu was about to respond when Qin Yu interrupted her with a smile.
"Yuzhu! Didn't you eat enough for lunch? Alright! I'll think of a way to help you!!"...
After a while, having received the information, Yuzhu left, though she was still secretly resentful after leaving the room.
This tyrant has taken advantage of us again!
After seeing Yuzhu off, Qin Yu tidied his clothes for a while before leisurely arriving at the Empress's palace.
Before even entering the room, one could hear lively laughter coming from inside.
"Second Miss, what do you think of Yan'er's move?"
"Yan'er, you're so naughty! You've set up such a deep trap!" Qin Yu stopped in his tracks and sneakily peered inside.
Zhao Yan and Zi Yan were playing chess, their laughter and chatter filling the air.
As expected, Zhao Yan's health has improved significantly. Not only is she able to get out of bed, but her complexion is also rosy and clear, and she even looks radiant.
Whether it was Qin Yu's imagination or something else, he felt that Zhao Yan looked even more radiant than before after consuming many of the tonics given to her by Liu Caiqing.
For example, the pile of large mines that fell onto the chessboard.
It's absolutely hilarious.
Seemingly sensing something, Zi Yan looked up and exclaimed in surprise.
"emperor!"
"ah?"
Zhao Yan's hand, which had just picked up a chess piece, suddenly trembled and fell straight down. Then, excited and delighted, she lifted her skirt and ran over.
The next second, she couldn't help but excitedly rush into Qin Yu's arms.
"His Majesty."
Zi Yan covered her mouth and chuckled to herself, then tactfully left.
"Ouch, alright, alright, you're choking me to death! It's not like I haven't seen this before, let go now."
Only then did Zhao Yan realize that she had been too unreserved. She loosened her arm and explained in a low voice, blushing slightly.
"For some reason, all I could see when I opened my eyes this morning was Your Majesty."
Qin Yu smiled and said, "Look at you, you didn't even have time to notice when the chess pieces landed on you! Of course I believe you!"
