Ahem, it's none of my business. Whoever wants to do it can do it. Anyway, I won't pick this one.
However, Leng Qing's next words made Qi Yu take back this idea.
After hearing this, he even felt that King Yong was really a little bored.
"While I was investigating the case of King Yong, I saw with my own eyes that his minions pretended to be Japanese pirates and robbed a small merchant ship full of medicinal materials. Look at the sail number on the mast, it looks very much like your ship in Qiongzhou.
If you hadn't specifically told me not to do anything, I would have really wanted to save that boat."
Uh... isn't this talking about Hai Dafu's medicine ship?
Huh? No!
It was obviously you who refused to save me, so why did you put the responsibility on me?
Qi Yu's mouth twitched and he said displeasedly: "Hey, don't talk nonsense. When did I say I won't let you save people?"
Leng Qing glared at him and hummed softly: "Before leaving, didn't you tell me repeatedly that if you encounter a firearm, you must remember to dodge immediately? If that's the case, what else can I do to save you?"
I see.
Okay, I'll take the blame!
Qi Yu nodded, expressing his acceptance, and then continued to discuss the topic of firearms in depth.
As far as the current situation is concerned, there are signs of mass production of matchlock guns. This is definitely very big information and must be paid close attention to.
So, how many firearms are there in Guangdong Prefecture?
In this regard, Leng Qing was very sure that there were definitely not many such strange things.
According to her estimate, it would not exceed five hundred at most.
Why do you say that?
She inquired that this kind of firearm has extremely high requirements for the quality of steel, and it can only be cast but not forged, so it cannot be produced in large quantities. The current output of this quantity is considered to be the ultimate.
This statement has a scientific basis. If the steel is not up to standard, the firearm produced will explode, not only not hurting the enemy, but also killing yourself.
Qi Yu nodded and continued to ask: How are these five hundred matchlock guns distributed?
In this regard, Leng Qing elaborated: King Yong alone owns 80% of them, which is about 400, and the remaining 100 are scattered among the fake Japanese pirate forces.
This number is neither too much nor too little, but it is still a small amount and its potential should not be underestimated.
Qi Yu smacked his lips and couldn't help but fall into longing...
If...if all these guns could be concentrated in one person's hands, what kind of situation would that be?
Others dare not pat their chests and guarantee that it is definitely more than enough to protect their own merchant ships.
Hehe, if that happens, which fake Japanese pirate with no eyesight will dare to challenge me, Qiongzhou?
Niang Xipi, if you don’t accept it, I’ll kill you!
Domineering, right?
Gee, just thinking about it makes my heart itch~~
However, this matter must be considered in the long term, and we must not make a decision at once. If we make a mistake, we will end up like that banquet.
Qi Yu wanted to take the opportunity to ask more questions, but suddenly Leng Qing's eyes flashed, showing an impatient look, and urged: "Okay, I have said everything that needs to be said, and it is your turn to say that.
What...a secret technique."
"Uh... okay, listen up!"
"good!"
"Actually, this secret technique is not complicated. You can learn it once you learn it. You first prepare an egg and take out the egg white, then mix it with some honey and stir it evenly. Apply it on your face before going to bed. In the morning the next morning, you can use it with water
Wash it off and use it for half a month to ensure that water will come out of your little face." Qi Yu said without thinking.
"Does this method really work?" Leng Qing asked half-convinced.
"Of course! I never lie!"
"oh……"
Qi Yu still remembered that when he was in college, the female classmates in his class exchanged their "smelly" experiences every day. Under this constant exposure, they would naturally remember some of them. As for whether it works or not, that's all.
Only the devil knows.
Ghost: Don’t ask me, I don’t know either.
As he spoke, the carriage rushed to the government office.
They both got out of the car together.
According to Leng Qing's idea, she wanted to escort Xiao Yunyan back to the capital immediately, report the investigation results of the trip to the emperor, and bring her mission to a successful conclusion.
But this time, Qi Yu "sincerely" retained her.
The reason he gave was: Why worry about official matters? It’s better to make up for the lost appearance first.
Everything is small, beauty is big.
Leng Qing touched her pretty face a little reservedly, and actually agreed in a good-natured manner.
Qi Yu secretly thought: You see, no matter how powerful the tigress is, there are weaknesses. Well, except for the lady!
In fact, this beauty treatment is just a gimmick to deceive her, and keeping her is the real purpose.
In other words, Qi Dalang doesn't run a beauty salon, so he doesn't have time to spend time with her. As for what's the use of keeping her, hehe, let's keep it a secret for now and talk about it later.
…
Ten days later, the sun was shining brightly, the weather was warm, and it was a beautiful sunny day.
This day is an auspicious day for worship, and it is also the "Spring Plowing Ceremony" selected by Liu Shicheng, the manager of the ceremony room. The first ceremony to encourage farmers and mulberry trees after Mr. Qi took office was held today.
The hot weather in southern Guangdong has arrived earlier. At this time of year, people have begun to dress a little cooler. On the surface, it is called a spring plowing ceremony, but it is more appropriate to call it summer plowing.
Since it is a grand ceremony held by the government, excitement and hustle and bustle are unavoidable.
Building momentum is inevitable. The purpose of encouraging people to grow mulberry trees is to spread the word and persuade them with reason. How can it be done without some attention?
Gongs and drums guy, dong delong dong clang...
The lion dance team also danced enthusiastically...
And the people watching were even more cheering...
Suddenly, several gun salutes sounded, and the spring plowing ceremony officially began.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, today’s first protagonist, Mr. Qi, made his debut!
I saw him dressed in coarse cloth peasant clothes, wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat, walking out with his hands behind his back like an ordinary farmer.
His outfit complements the mood and scene, and in terms of visual effects, it is very matching.
Thumbs up!
Qi Yu first bowed his hands to the common people, then pressed his arms and said loudly: "Since I took office, I have vigorously provided disaster relief and stabilized the situation to relieve the danger of being in danger. After that, I sent my troops south to quell the poor bandits, and then to the north.
The docks are being built to develop trade, and various construction projects are being carried out in sequence to make steady progress. The results are really gratifying! Haha, generally speaking, Qiongzhou’s future is very promising!"
“The future is promising!”
"Lord Qi is wise!"
Qi Yu pressed his hand and continued: "This year, our government will vigorously promote the traditional practice of men farming and women weaving to point out the direction for Qiongzhou's mulberry farming plan. As the saying goes: The ground is like a gold scraper, and people who work hard are not lazy.
Only through hard work can you reap fruitful harvests. Currently, it is the first year of the three-year tax exemption period. You should take advantage of this opportunity to save more food and live a good life in advance."
Tax-free means that the government will not get involved in all harvests, and no tax will be levied, and all income will be owned by the people.
However, this good policy has a drawback, that is, it can easily cause people to be lazy in production.
There is no need to pay for food anyway, just grow enough to eat.
This kind of distorted psychology is what Qi Dalang is most worried about, and the main purpose of today's exhortation to farmers and mulberry trees is to break this harmful subconsciousness and nip it in the bud.
To this end, Qi Yu also specially came up with an incentive mechanism.
What?
Listen:
"Ahem! After research and decision by this government, the 'advanced individual reward system' will be implemented simultaneously in the ten counties and three prefectures within the jurisdiction! So, what does this mean? To put it simply, in the county government offices and
Under the joint supervision of the government offices and households, the top ten people in each state and county who produce the most grain per capita are selected, and these people are the so-called 'advanced individuals'. The specific reward is...a farming cow!! The same principle
, women who are outstanding in mulberry, silk and hemp will also be rewarded by the government with ten taels of silver."
As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder from the sky, causing an uproar in an instant.
