Liu Quan always felt that his husband had changed somewhere, but he couldn't tell exactly where.
"You said, I have changed?"
"Well, a little bit."
"Uh...has it become more powerful and longer-lasting than before?"
"Bah, bah, bah..."
Liu Quan blushed in shame, spat a few times, and scolded him: "Where did you think you were going? I mean, your temperament has changed a bit compared to before."
Qi Yu was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously reviewed the past, and then said: "Since ancient times, the officialdom has been a big colorful dye vat. How can I be alone in it and remain unchanged?"
After a pause, he added: "No matter how much he changes, I will still stick to my original intention. This belief will remain unchanged until death..."
Stick to your original intention? Until death?
Well, it's true when you think about it.
This can be clearly seen from the fact that the husband refused to take a concubine.
Thinking of this, Liu Quan quickly nodded with conviction.
Qi Yu smashed his mouth and said with emotion: "The one who has changed the most is the Holy Emperor in our temple. Compared with before, he is obviously much calmer. It is almost impossible to see him quarreling with the ministers.
"
I think at the beginning, he was a firecracker, and he was constantly competing with the brachial and buttocks. If you look at it now, he is simply more kind than the legendary Buddha, and he has long lost the vigor and vigor he had when he first came to Dabao.
In fact, not just the emperor, but everyone will become more tactful and cautious as they grow older.
This is human growth.
However, there are good and bad aspects of growth. Some people are better as they grow, while others are worse as they grow.
There are other people who become more vicious as they grow older.
Yes, Duanzicheng said this about Qi Xiaotong.
What's going on?
As for the cause of this matter, we have to start with the test of a new type of artillery shell.
In view of Qi Yu's earnest instructions before leaving, Qiongzhou has set off a wave of military industry production in the near future.
Battleships, artillery, firearms and all kinds of ammunition are all produced overtime day and night.
Xiaotong feels that the military industry is the top priority in guarding the territory. We must not only pursue quality and increase, but also seek technological breakthroughs.
Dad once said that the development of science and technology is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat.
What if we don’t explore forward?
Somehow, this girl actually came up with the idea of improving shotguns.
After Qi Xiao heard about this, he immediately gave his great suggestion: Why not mix some small iron nails into the rubble? In this way, it not only increases the horizontal killing area, but also expands the depth of the front and rear attacks.
.
The basis is that the density of iron is much greater than that of stone, so theoretically, it should shoot farther.
Hey! Great idea!
It's simple and feasible, and importantly, it's not too difficult.
Therefore, Xiaotong couldn't wait to find Duan Zicheng and formally proposed this feasible idea.
In addition, she also said categorically that such a shell design would be able to beat the living people who landed on the ground into a cold sieve, or even nail them directly into their bones.
The idea is good, but a bit cruel.
Duan Zicheng looked at her who was as beautiful as an immortal, shook his head and said: "You are a little girl, how can you be so cruel? I heard that you have been carefully educated by your wife since you were a child, but I didn't expect that you didn't learn
There's nothing kind about her."
"What? You said my mother is kind?"
"Uh...isn't it?"
In Duan Zicheng's impression, Liu Quan is a traditional virtuous woman. She takes care of her husband and raises her children, manages the household well, and helps those in need from time to time. What is this if not kind?
Unexpectedly, Xiaotong shook his head repeatedly and said jokingly: "Uncle Duan, although you have seen countless people, you made a mistake this time!"
Duan Zicheng was startled after hearing this and asked in confusion: "How do you say this?"
"Let me tell you this, in my hometown of Taohua Village, my mother is famous for being a fierce and fierce woman. If she gets really angry, even a seven-foot man will be afraid of her. If I am not afraid of scaring you, my mother is here
When she stabbed someone with a knife, she didn't even frown! It's just that she has been pampered and lived a comfortable life over the years and no longer wants to care about others. You don't really think that my mother is a weak woman with a soft temper, do you?
"Xiaotong pursed her lips and said with a somewhat proud tone.
Ah...what did you say?
Madam, she is not only a fierce Hedong lion, but also a woman who dares to stab someone with a knife?
Isn't it?
Suddenly, a huge sense of disparity arose.
After Duan Zicheng wiped his hands with cold sweat, he quickly remembered this important message in his heart: When he faces his wife again in the future, he must be more polite than before, otherwise...
At this moment, a government servant suddenly came running to report that Mr. Qi had privately hired eight hundred miles to rush, and that an important secret message had been sent from the capital.
Urgent? And it’s a secret message?
After hearing this, the old and young people quickly galloped on their horses and went straight to the government office.
…
About an hour later.
In front of the gate of the Qiongzhou government office, lanterns were suddenly lit up, gongs and drums were beating loudly, and more than two hundred festive firecrackers were set off.
Looking at this situation, could it be that some great event has happened?
After inquiring, I found out that Qiongzhou has been promoted from the original state capital to the current provincial capital; and the chief minister, Mr. Qi, has also been promoted from the original fourth-grade prefect to the current second-grade governor.
This is a big deal!
Absolutely the right thing!
How can we not celebrate such a historic moment?
Not long after, the common people with Yourongyan also joined in the cheering team, and they were even more energetic than during the Chinese New Year.
"Uncle Duan, my father's secret intention in sending this letter is to tell us that now we can legitimately develop local armed forces, and no longer need to be as sneaky as before." Qi Xiaotong concealed the joy in his heart and said to Duan Zicheng
.
The old man looked up to the sky and sighed, and said with emotion: "Yes! Yes! As the sage says, if the name is not correct, the words will not go smoothly, and if the words are not right, the things will not be accomplished. Now, Mr. Qi has finally broken free from the shackles and can show his talents.
Already."
"Then what should we do next?" Xiaotong asked with a smile.
"You little devil, you actually asked what I said?" Duan Zicheng blew his white beard in feigned anger, and then said as if: "In addition to developing armed forces, there are two important things to do at the moment.
Do."
Xiaotong asked smoothly: "Which two pieces?"
"First, we must immediately convey this message to all county governments under our jurisdiction, so as to prepare in advance for the administrative upgrade in the near future. Second, we must build a majestic provincial government office as soon as possible to serve as the administrative seat of Mr. Qi.
