In response to the empress's exclamation, Wu Zhongxian waved his hands modestly and said:
"These are just small ears, not worth mentioning!"
"Your Majesty governs the world and makes the Qin Dynasty prosperous and prosperous. This is the most powerful thing!"
Wu Zhongxian didn't feel that powerful about the empress' praise.
I didn't even feel anything.
You know, I don’t know how these things were used in the history of Wu Zhongxian’s place.
Ladders, logs, rolling stones, hot oil, flint, etc. are all defensive weapons.
The most powerful weapon for destroying the city is the wooden chariot, which can force the city gates to open.
However, these are not common on the mainland.
Most of the fortifications are the same as usual.
At most, archers and spears and other sharp weapons can be used to defend.
There are also trees, boulders, etc.
But apart from these, there is not much more.
Wu Zhongxian thought carefully and figured out why there are no such things in this world.
In this world, great power is attributed to one body.
If there are no strong men in the city, there is no way to defend the city simply by relying on fortifications.
After all, a second-level master can easily kill hundreds of soldiers.
Moreover, the speed is extremely fast, and he wants to surround people to death in a relatively complicated place like the city wall.
The difficulty can be said to be extremely high.
But it was extremely simple for the opponent to rush up and directly kill the defenders on one side and let the attackers come up.
Naturally, the people of these dynasties no longer thought about defending fortifications.
"Haha, these things are an eye-opener for us. No matter what, Wu Aiqing has made great contributions."
"So I have to reward it!"
The empress didn't pay any attention to Wu Zhongxian's humble words. She waved her hand and asked the person below to bring something up.
Putting it in his hand, he said to Wu Zhongxian:
"What's inside is a hundred-year-old colorful lotus seed. It's the best detoxification product. It also contains extremely high medicinal power. It can improve your skill for ten to twenty years. I'll give it to you, Master Wu, this time!"
"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Originally, Wu Zhongxian didn't care much about the empress's reward.
But after seeing that it was a century-old lotus seed, Wu Zhongxian immediately agreed.
For Wu Zhongxian, the more things that can enhance his strength, the better.
After the empress rewarded Wu Zhongxian with lotus seeds, she turned around and said to the many craftsmen:
"You craftsmen have also put a lot of effort into this defense. Let's do this, Bai Aiqing. I will allocate one hundred thousand taels of silver to reward these craftsmen, and reward them according to their merits and contributions!"
The empress was extremely generous in this reward.
With a wave of his hand, he gave Bai Feng one hundred thousand taels of silver.
Regarding the empress's actions, many craftsmen first showed expressions of astonishment, and then each one of them became extremely excited. At that moment, they loudly said to the empress:
"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
The empress waved her hands and said to the many craftsmen:
"You don't need to be polite. If you work harder later and build more defensive fortifications for Tiangong City, I will not miss your reward!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When many craftsmen heard this, their faces were filled with great joy.
Wu Zhongxian watched on the side and couldn't help but be slightly shocked by the empress's methods.
The empress was so clever that she bribed these craftsmen with a little money.
Wu Zhongxian knew very well that after receiving this sum of money, these craftsmen would be extremely loyal to the empress.
At the same time, I will work harder in the future work.
After all, the empress has said that after the city is defended, if the defensive fortifications are used well, she will be rewarded.
Throwing out these rewards now is to tell these craftsmen that as long as you do your job well, she will be indispensable for their rewards.
After all, for someone like Wu Zhongxian who came up with an idea, he was rewarded with something extremely precious on the spot.
Later, if the city is defended, the reward will not go to heaven.
You must know that the status of craftsmen is very low, and their salaries are not much.
Otherwise, the former lord of Tiangong City would not have been forcibly expropriated to Minshan by the county magistrate in Daqin.
After the empress inspected the place, she returned to the city lord's palace.
I didn’t pay much attention to things here.
"Wu Aiqing, it seems that you have a lot of tricks up your sleeve. If I hadn't asked you to come here, I really wouldn't have known that you had such a talent!"
"I have fought a lot in wars, but I have never seen anything like this. It's really amazing!"
"I am becoming more and more curious about you now!"
"Also, you are such a treasure!"
After the empress led the team back to the city, she once again called Wu Zhongxian alone into the study.
Then he couldn't wait to say to Wu Zhongxian.
Wu Zhongxian didn't know what to say about the empress's performance.
However, when Wu Zhongxian was called in, Bai Feng also saw that there was an emotion growing in his heart.
Wu Zhongxian didn't know about Bai Feng's performance. Even if he knew, he couldn't think too much about it.
Because he is in big trouble now.
As the empress said this, her body subconsciously pressed against him, forcing Wu Zhongxian to walk back again and again.
"Your Majesty, we are kings and ministers. If outsiders see us like this, we will be in trouble!"
Although Wu Zhongxian wanted to eat up the empress completely.
But he knew that now was not the time, let alone the moment to take action.
Although he was able to manipulate the empress, he took advantage of it.
But if he really gets started, Wu Zhongxian guarantees that the empress will definitely let him know why the flowers are so red!
"Humph, here in the study, I have given orders to the embroiderers outside. Without my orders, no one can come in!"
The empress didn't appreciate Wu Zhongxian's excuses at all, and even got closer to him.
Seeing Wu Zhongxian retreating repeatedly, the empress felt extremely amused.
Now he pressed harder and said with a smile:
"Wu Aiqing, didn't you have thoughts about me before? Why are you backing away now?"
"Do you mean that you have no thoughts about me?"
"Still afraid of me?"
As the empress spoke, she approached Wu Zhongxian and compressed Wu Zhongxian's hiding space.
"this……"
Being so oppressed by the empress, Wu Zhongxian also felt helpless.
He knew very well that as long as he made the slightest move, the empress would take action immediately.
