Until they arrived in front of the palace hall, what Zhao Kang recalled in his mind was the scene where he and Her Majesty the Empress just rode in a chariot to accept the worship of the people.
It felt very cool, just like the emperor taking the queen on a tour in the TV series.
But it’s like my character is the queen!
Thinking about this, Zhao Kang felt a little bit dumbfounded.
Her Majesty the Empress did not speak during the whole journey, but the tenderness contained in those graceful eyes had already swallowed up Zhao Kang.
Once, under the coercion of many officials, she gave up on Zhao Kang. Now when she recalled it in her dream, Xiao Linglong would be awakened every time.
Then she was extremely glad that it was just a dream, and even more glad that she went to find Zhao Kang that night.
Because she gradually understood that if she hadn't gone to find Zhao Kang that night, I'm afraid she would have lost him in this life! .??.??
So now, Her Majesty the Empress tells herself all the time that no matter what happens, she will always stand on Zhao Kang's side.
Even if the whole world doesn't understand, she will firmly believe in Zhao Kang from now on.
When all the officials entered the palace, everyone's faces were filled with smiles. They looked at Zhao Kang and it was so pleasing to their eyes!
It feels like the hob meat has turned into pork belly!
Her Majesty the Empress controlled the emotions in her heart: "National Master, although we already know the general situation, we still ask the National Master to tell us what we have gained from this trip."
Li Yuan joked at this time, "Needless to say, I defeated many literary giants in the Zhou Academy. During this process, even a three-year-old child in the imperial capital can memorize it. Now schools all over the country use the ancient parallel prose written by you, the national teacher."
Listed as a must-read article."
"Students from all over the world are having a hard time memorizing it, hahaha!"
Everyone laughed, and Zhao Kang was also happy. He didn't expect that such a thing would happen.
It also allows the students of Qian State to feel the pain I felt at the time.
He organized his words and said, "Your Majesty, gentlemen, I have gained a lot from this trip to the Zhou Kingdom. Of course, everyone knows that one of them is that I won 10 million taels of silver from the people of the Zhou Kingdom, of which 5 million were returned to the Jing Kingdom.
, there are five million left, which I will give to Her Majesty the Empress for state affairs later!"
All the officials smiled and nodded. Zhang Mingyuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, grinned almost to the back of his ears!
It was so exciting that I wished I could kneel down and call Zhao Kang his father.
Nowadays, the country of Qian is in dire straits and needs to be revitalized, and money is being spent everywhere. The expenditures on each item such as soldiers' military pay and pensions, the repair of border towns, etc. are huge.
The entire Qian Kingdom has only two words to make money this year! Besides making money, it’s still fucking making money!
But what no one expected was that what was supposed to be the biggest difficulty, with Zhao Kang's "resurrection" in just a few days, not only made up for the shortfall in the national treasury, but also saved a lot of money for national construction.
.
There was absolutely no place for him, the Minister of Revenue, to contribute, but it made many officials jealous.
Damn it, we work so hard that our pants are wet every day!
If you are in the household department, you have Zhao Kang, a chicken that can lay golden eggs. You don’t have to do anything, you just get the money!
Li Yuan rolled his eyes and said, "Master Zhang, if you do this, we, Mr. Zhang, will be free for a while."
Zhang Mingyuan exclaimed, "You old Litou don't like others, right? Our Imperial Master is capable, and it's a great thing to be able to make money! If only I, Old Zhang, were half as capable as the Imperial Master."
"I asked the Imperial Master to stay at home with His Majesty every day. I can go out and earn money myself!"
"I love hearing that!" Zhao Kang smiled knowingly.
Her Majesty the Empress blushed and said angrily, "Master Zhang, please stop talking nonsense!"
Zhang Mingyuan sneered, "I made a mistake from time to time!"
Everyone laughed and said nothing.
Xiao Xuance asked at this time, "National Master, we have the first place, what about the second place?"
Zhao Kang came to his senses and said, "The second thing is more important. It's about Yaohuang."
Hearing this, Yang Qian, the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Industry, concentrated his attention and said, "National Master, our medicine is indeed in urgent need now. There are a lot of charcoal and fire salt, but this medicine, we Qianguo It’s already less.”
"Jingguo is similar to us. The spies sent out found a large amount of medicinal yellow mines in Qi State, and the geologist from the Department of Geography also personally visited Qi State and made it clear that Qi State has a large amount of medicinal yellow mines. "
"But Qi State doesn't sell medicinal herbs to us, and there is a chamber of commerce called Mingzhu Chamber of Commerce that blocks our channels to purchase medicinal herbs, right?" Zhao Kang said with a smile.
Yang Qian was stunned for a moment and said awkwardly, "Do you know all this?"
Zhao Kang nodded and said, "The owner behind the Pearl Chamber of Commerce is Liu Yanran, the Pearl Princess of Qi State. This woman's intelligence cannot be underestimated."
"Princess Pearl? She's not..." An official quickly covered his mouth and glanced at Her Majesty the Empress on the dragon throne.
He was about to say, wasn't that guy taken as a maid by the Imperial Master?
Come to think of it, it's better not to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, so as not to be secretly kept by His Majesty.
Zhao Kang smiled and said, "I have made an agreement with Princess Mingzhu. From now on, Qi will send us 15,000 stones of medicinal yellow every year. It will be sent to us soon this month!"
As soon as the words fell, Yang Qian was overjoyed and excited, "National Master! You are so amazing! We are still worried about this matter, but we didn't expect that you have already solved him!"
"This is the real pillar of the country!" King Chen looked overjoyed, looking at Zhao Kang as if a mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law.
Zhao Kang looked at Yang Qian and said, "Mr. Yang, please don't get too excited. I've agreed in advance that I'll take care of the matter for you, but for the matter of gunpowder, you must give me the fastest speed and guarantee in charge of the Thunder and Fire Department." The highest quality, create a large amount of gunpowder!"
"The most important strategic material we will need from now on to compete with the heroes of the world is this black powder!"
Yang Qian immediately became serious, "Don't worry, Imperial Master! As long as there are enough materials, I will definitely guarantee the quantity of gunpowder even if I am exhausted on the production table!"
Zhao Kang joked, "But you have to take it easy. Don't make a mistake that day, and it won't be fun if it blows up to the sky for us."
Yang Gan suddenly looked embarrassed, and Li Yuan sneered, "The Imperial Master really knows things like a god."
Zhao Kang was stunned, "Damn it, you guys are not really going to get into trouble, are you? How many people were killed or injured?"
All the ministers were a little embarrassed, and Her Majesty the Empress said, "No, there are no casualties. It's just that the operation was not done well for a while. The city of Yuanjiang County was given to you..."
Zhao Kang glared, "You blew up my Yuanjiang County! Who am I to give you the courage? That was my hard work!"
"Ahem, cough, cough, it's mainly because of the Imperial Preceptor that your city in Yuanjiang County is tall enough. We didn't expect it to look very strong, but it collapsed within two blows. Did it use gunpowder to blow it up? It was the one you mentioned. Bombarded by cannons!" Until they arrived in front of the palace hall, Zhao Kang was still recalling the scene in his mind when he and Her Majesty the Empress rode in a chariot to accept the worship of the people.
It felt very cool, just like the emperor taking the queen on a tour in the TV series.
