Xiao Linglong came to the county government office and explained her purpose to the government officials on duty.
The yamen servant couldn't move his eyes away, he just stared at Xiao Linglong's beautiful face, which made him salivate: "Miss, I... we... our master was not in the county yamen, but went to the factory in the back city
side."
The tip of her nose was slightly raised, and she didn't pay attention to the government servant's wretched eyes. Xiao Linglong said: "Where is the factory? Sir, can you take me there? Mr. Zhao and I are business partners. There is a very important matter."
"This...Miss's factory is an important place in our county, and ordinary people are not allowed to go near it." Still not dazzled by the beauty, the yamen servant hurriedly said.
Seeing this, Xiao Linglong flipped her wrist, and a silver ingot that looked festive lay in her white and tender palm, "How about this being your travel expenses?"
Who would have thought that after the yamen officer was stunned for a moment, he quickly and sternly refused: "What are you doing, miss? Stop it now. Our county doesn't do this, and the master strictly prohibits accepting bribes."
So personable?
Xiao Linglong was really surprised, so she changed her strategy and started to work hard.
Her stunning face and delicate voice made the yamen servant's bones feel numb and his brain became hot when he heard her voice.
"Since we have business dealings with the master, it should be fine. Miss, please come with me."
Her Majesty's face changed faster than turning the page in a book. She still looked as attractive as before. The government servants were amazed when they saw her.
The adults are right, women are fickle!
Arriving at the heart of the factory, Xiao Linglong, led by a yamen servant, came to the warehouse without any obstruction, and saw Zhao Kang staring at something in a daze.
Hearing the call, Zhao Kang turned his head and frowned when he saw Xiao Linglong: "Boss Xiao, why are you here? Who brought you here?"
"Sir, this young lady said she has something important to ask you..." The yamen officer also came back to his senses and became a little scared.
Zhao Kang clicked his tongue, half-smiling but not smiling: "Liu Hu, you have forgotten this rule after following me for so long."
Liu Hu, the yamen servant, immediately panicked and knelt on the ground: "Please punish me, sir!"
Her Majesty the Empress was shocked when she saw this scene. Zhao Kang actually has such high prestige among his subordinates?
"Go down and get twenty sticks!" Zhao Kang said calmly.
Liu Hu stood up quickly: "I understand."
After saying that, he hurriedly left.
Xiao Linglong stepped forward and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Mr. Zhao."
"Boss Xiao, is it about the flood in Jiangzhou?" Zhao Kang had already guessed the other party's intention.
Xiao Linglong nodded, looked at Zhao Kang and said, "Sir, if you have any idea, please show me the way. All rewards from the imperial court will belong to you."
"What are you trying to do?"
Zhao Kang was puzzled. Her Majesty the Empress did not make up lies this time, and said quietly: "Your Excellency, you are in Yuanjiang County, so you don't know the displacement of the people in Jiangzhou. As your Excellency said, if the floods are allowed to continue, the floods will come one after another.
The problem is food shortage, and the whole country will be in turmoil when the time comes, and I really don’t want to see that situation.”
"You are really a patriotic businessman."
After listening to Xiao Linglong's words, Zhao Kang smiled helplessly and struggled a little in his heart. If he didn't take action, he could certainly continue to live comfortably and happily in Yuanjiang County.
You might even be able to make a fortune from this natural disaster in the future.
But Zhao Kang had a hard time with his conscience. After all, when he heard about the disaster in Jiangzhou, he thought about raising a batch of grain to send.
Now that Xiao Linglong was in front of him, his heart was shaken even more.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Kang sighed: "That's fine."
As he spoke, he looked up at Xiao Linglong who was full of surprises: "Boss Xiao, I do have a way to redirect the torrent, but it's just too much..."
"real!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Linglong came over excitedly: "Say what you can do! Tell me quickly!"
Her Majesty the Empress even took Zhao Kang's hand excitedly.
At this moment, Mr. Zhao's heart skipped a beat. This little hand was so soft!
Seeing Zhao Kang's reaction, Her Majesty the Empress seemed to have noticed her gaffe, and quickly let go of her hand. Her ears turned red, and her pretty face became even more beautiful, leaving Zhao Kang stunned.
"Master Zhao!"
Being stared at like this, Xiao Linglong unconsciously showed an imperial aura, which shocked Zhao Kang to wake up.
Touching the tip of his nose in embarrassment, Zhao Kang pretended to be nonchalant and turned sideways, leaking out the newly prepared gunpowder on the table behind him: "Boss Xiao, please take a look."
"What is this?" Xiao Linglong came over.
Zhao Kang explained with some satisfaction: "This is called black gunpowder, and it is the work of my heart and soul. With it, floods can be diverted."
"With this powder-like thing?" Xiao Linglong was a little unbelievable.
Zhao Kang also knew that she would not believe it, so he picked up the bamboo tube, packed the gunpowder, fixed the fuse, and called two workers to lead Xiao Linglong out of the city.
With a loud roar like thunder, Her Majesty the Empress froze.
"Did Boss Xiao see it?"
Zhao Kang was very proud: "As long as there are enough of these things, it is not difficult to blow up several mountains to block floods."
"Yes! Yes! It must be possible. With it, we will be able to solve this flood! You are so amazing. How did you do this!"
Xiao Linglong was so excited when she came back to her senses that she almost jumped up in joy and pulled Zhao Kang to ask him to explain the black powder.
The distance between the two was extremely close, and the faint body fragrance emanating from Xiao Linglong's body made Zhao Kang feel dizzy, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
"Boss Xiao, let's not talk about this matter for now. We have to make an agreement first."
Xiao Linglong, who was still in excitement, agreed: "You tell me, I will agree to whatever you ask for!"
"Can you be my wife?" Zhao Kang was shocked.
Xiao Linglong was dumbfounded.
This bastard seems to have teased himself!
"Master Zhao, are you kidding?"
"Ahem, cough, joke, joke."
Seeing Xiao Linglong's unkind expression, Zhao Kang hurriedly concealed his little thoughts, and then said seriously: "Boss Xiao, let's agree first that I can give you this black powder, but this method was thought up by your Xiao family.
It has nothing to do with me, do you understand?"
Xiao Linglong was puzzled at first, but as smart as he was, he quickly understood what Zhao Kang meant by saying this.
This bastard still wants to stay out of the situation, so let’s stabilize him first.
Xiao Linglong nodded: "Everything depends on your instructions."
"Okay! Zhang Long."
"My subordinate is here."
Zhao Kang: "Inform the people in the factory to prepare all the black powder within one day according to the proportions. You will supervise the whole process. Remember, the formula must not be wrong. Not even a cent is allowed. In addition, the black powder is prepared well."
Add sugar from our factory to the gunpowder."
Zhang Long wrote them down one by one and turned around.
The big stone in Xiao Linglong's heart finally fell. Zhao Kang then warned how to use black gunpowder, so Xiao Linglong had better find connections and let the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court handle it.
Xiao Linglong also wrote them down one by one, and finally Zhao Kang reached for his pocket: "By the way, Boss Xiao, I have something good to show you."
As he spoke, he took out the sanitary napkin in his pocket.
