Chapter 174 Lord Qin: Haha, this idiot has been fooled by His Majesty again!!
The second prince instantly felt his heart surge!
Before the little lucky official came, he only came to punch in and go through the motions when he went to court, and did not do any serious work. After the
little lucky official came, he began to look forward to going to court. After all, eating melons is fun for a while, and eating melons every day is always fun!
However, he still does not do any serious work!
It’s just that this time the idea of the little lucky official is simply tailor-made for him!!
Can’t he rely on his little talent to do some serious work?
How can he not be excited in this way?
Hahahahahaha!
The little lucky official really helps him!!
Oh, I have to have a good talk with my father after the court, hehehehehehe!
After thinking through what the little lucky official and his sister said, Emperor Jin Yuan already had a plan in his mind.
Emperor Jinyuan looked at Minister Zhou and asked, "Zhou Tishou, your nephew has made such a great contribution this time, he really deserves a reward!"
Then, he asked again, "But, I heard that Zhou Da called himself a commoner? Doesn't it mean that he has no official position in the Ministry of Works?"
Hearing the question of Emperor Jinyuan, Minister Zhou did not dare to neglect it, and quickly bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, my nephew is indeed just a craftsman in the Ministry of Works."
"But the reason why he was able to enter the Ministry of Works is entirely due to his own outstanding talents and skills. I solemnly swear here that I have not committed any favoritism or corruption! Please Your Majesty, please look into this matter!" When
Emperor Jinyuan heard this, a black line appeared on his face.
He thought: Who the hell doesn't understand the truth! Am I the kind of tyrant who willfully punishes others without asking right from wrong? How cold-blooded do these ministers think I am!
"In that case, appoint Zhou Da as the senior technical supervisor of the Ministry of Industry. In the future, you only need to focus on the research and development, experiments and other matters of the Ministry of Industry's various technologies."
After that, he turned to look at Zhou Da and earnestly instructed: "Zhou Da, I hope you can continue to work hard as always and create more tools with practical value for my people in the Southern Dynasty!"
Zhou Da never dreamed that the current emperor would actually grant him an official position in the court. This was completely beyond his expectations.
What he could not have imagined was that this official position was actually the technical position that Xiao Fuguan had just mentioned!
Zhou Da couldn't help but sigh deeply. He didn't expect that the little blessing official would have such a huge influence on His Majesty!
Emperor Jin Yuan: Haha! This is the little blessing official. What she brings is welfare. If we don't seize the opportunity to use it, will we let it go to waste? He can't do such a foolish thing!
Upon hearing this, Zhou Da hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your great grace! I will do my best to seek welfare for the people of my Southern Dynasty! Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
Qin Yue chatted with the system with some excitement: [Wow! Sister, did you hear that! His Majesty the Emperor directly appointed a technical official! Could it be that His Majesty has already started to plan and lay out the development path of technology? This is simply amazing! 】
The system also responded: [Our Emperor is indeed quite capable! 】
The Emperor Jin Yuan raised his eyebrows and looked very proud: Hehehe! Oh! Thank you! It’s just average! If it weren’t for the reminder from Xiao Fuguan, I really didn’t know there was such a thing as a technical officer!
Lord Qin: Haha, Your Majesty is pretending to be so stupid again! !
Emperor Jin Yuan nodded with satisfaction and raised his hand to signal, "My dear minister, please stand up quickly!"
Then he cast his eyes on the two books placed on the dragon table, flipped through them carefully for a while, and said, "In my opinion, this thing is used to irrigate farmland, and its shape is quite similar to a carriage wheel. Why not name it 'Waterwheel'!"
Qin Yue: [Wow!! His Majesty the Emperor is so good at naming, he actually named it Waterwheel, which is exactly the same name as us!! Hahahaha! ]
System: [This shows that this name is indeed very consistent with the appearance and function of the waterwheel, hahaha! 】
Afterwards, Emperor Yuan of Jin continued to issue an edict: "From now on, all related tests and promotions of water wheels will be handled by the Ministry of Works. Other ministries also need to provide strong assistance, especially the Ministry of Revenue, which must fully support all investments before the full implementation of the water wheel!"
Upon hearing this, the ministers of various ministries shouted in unison: "Your Highness, we will obey the imperial edict!"
Emperor Yuan of Jin stared at Zhou Ti Shou, and asked with a hint of urgency: "Zhou Ti Shou, when can we start testing the water wheel?"
Upon hearing this, Minister Zhou couldn't help but murmur in his heart, mainly because he was not sure now. If such a large water wheel was to be moved, it would definitely require some preparations in advance.
Qin Yue also wanted to know, [Oh my, it would be great if I could go to the site to see the operation of this water wheel! 】
The system also echoed: [Yes, yes, it must be very shocking to see it with your own eyes! 】
At this moment, Zhou Da said loudly: "Your Majesty, when I entered the palace, I worked with my colleagues in the Ministry of Works to build a giant cart, and have safely placed the waterwheel on it. We only need to confirm the test site, and then we can use the carriage to transport the waterwheel to the test site."
Emperor Jin Yuan nodded slightly to show his satisfaction, and then asked again: "Then regarding the test site, do you have any good suggestions?"
Before he finished speaking, Lord Qin had a flash of inspiration, and he stood up suddenly, clasped his hands and advised: "Your Majesty, regarding the location of this test, I have a good place to recommend." Upon
hearing this, Emperor Jin Yuan was immediately cheered up and asked with interest: "Oh? Qin My dear minister, please tell me quickly!"
Lord Qin bowed respectfully to the emperor and replied: "Your Majesty, I own a large manor in the suburbs of Beijing. There are not only large tracts of fertile farmland, but also a moderately sized lake, which is just right for placing a waterwheel!"
Then he continued: "In addition, it only takes half an hour to drive from the capital to the manor. After the court is dismissed, I will immediately send people to tidy up the manor and dig out a water channel. In this way, once the waterwheel arrives, we can start testing immediately!"
Lord Qin also added in his heart: After all, we are testing on our own land, and maybe we can let our family members visit by the way. Hehe, if the lady knew that he was so thoughtful, she would definitely praise him endlessly! When
the other ministers in the court heard what Lord Qin said, they rolled their eyes and secretly cursed this old man for being so calculating! Don't think they can't see the old man's little thoughts! !
At the same time, everyone can't help but regret why they didn't think of this idea earlier! Oh! What a mistake!
