After the bridge was completed, many officials from the Ministry of Industry immediately flew up and inspected the river embankment. Qin Mu saw many people holding drills and inserting drills several feet long into the embankment on the river bank.
On the top, insert one every hundred feet.
There was a person standing next to the drill. Someone stood a big bell in the middle of the river. A loud bell sounded. The drills also vibrated. The people next to the drill were listening to the trilling sound coming from the drill.
"What are they doing?" Qin Mu couldn't help but wonder.
Ling Yuxiu walked up to him and said, "You don't know this. In the past, the Tujiang River often flooded. The Imperial Master ordered the Minister of Works to come and control it. The Minister of Works spent an unknown amount of money. My father was very angry, so he
Asked him why he spent so much money and where he spent it. The minister of the Ministry of Industry said that he had buried a black copper wall on both sides of the Tujiang River. The black copper wall was two inches thick and two feet high, and was laid out along the river embankment.
It is thousands of miles long. The black copper wall is covered with rune marks. When checking whether there are cracks in the river embankment or whether the embankment has been thinned by water, you can ring the copper bell. The sound of the bell will stimulate the rune marks on the black copper wall, making the
The resonance sound coming from the black copper wall uses sound waves to determine the cracks and thickness of the river embankment."
Qin Mu looked at the busy leader of Tiangong Hall and praised: "What a good idea."
Si Yunxiang stepped forward and said, "The emperor almost beheaded him because he spent too much money."
Ling Yuxiu glanced at her and said: "The Minister of Industry spends too much money. Over the years, the Minister of Industry has made high-rise boats that fly in the sky, boats that swim in the water, land boats that run on the ground, flywheel cars, and those used in mines.
Smelting plants, military workshops in various places, supervision factories, renovation of various towers, sewers in the city, road paving, siege vehicles, border villages, and machinery manufacturing. I was not yet born at that time. Later I heard from my second brother
He said that the minister of the Ministry of Industry spent money in those years to make his father and the princes, princes, concubines and queens in the palace tighten their belts. They were so hungry that their faces were full of food. The national treasury was suddenly empty, and the officials' salaries were owed for many months.
hair."
Si Yunxiang smiled and said, "What happened next?"
Ling Yuxiu sighed: "Later, the smelting plant was promoted, and various types of boats and boats were sold to merchants. The factory was under supervision to produce continuously. Within two years, the national treasury was full, and several more treasury funds were built. My father was thankful for this and said
, Fortunately, he was not killed. Apart from the minister of the Ministry of Industry, the one who knows how to spend the most is the doctor of the Ministry of Water Resources. They build water conservancy transportation in various places, such as water diversion trucks, flood discharge lakes, various dams and bridges, canals, and flowers.
Money is not just like running water, but it also makes people rich."
Si Yunxiang blinked and said: "It seems that the Minister of Industry and the Minister of Industry spend money. What does the Minister of Industry do? It seems that everything is done by Shan Youxin, the Minister of Industry, and the Minister of Industry has not done anything.
thing."
Ling Yuxiu also blinked: "The Minister of Industry is responsible for supervising their spending."
Si Yunxiang smiled lightly and said: "The Minister of the Ministry of Industry is probably because the emperor is worried about the people they sent to monitor them. After all, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and these doctors and Yuanwailang are all members of the Tiansheng Sect. The emperor knows that they are members of the Tiansheng Sect.
The hall master, Xiangzhu, is not at ease with them."
Ling Yuxiu's eyes fell on her: "Junior Sister Yunxiang seems to be very interested in Tiansheng Sect."
Si Yunxiang smiled sweetly and said: "My little sister is not talented. She is a saint of the Tiansheng Sect, so naturally she should be more careful. Leader Qin is our leader and holy master, and he is also very concerned about this aspect. As a saint, I ask
The princess’s problem is also a matter of concern to the leader.”
The two girls stared at each other with big eyes.
Qin Mu ignored the two girls and looked into the distance. He saw officials from the Tuntian Division of the Water Ministry inspecting farmland water conservancy, while the Yubu Division inspected fruits, trees and vegetables, so he stepped forward.
"Master, when the crops stop harvesting, there will probably be an insect infestation."
Yuanwailang, a member of the Yubu Department, was the owner of the incense in the farm hall. He dug around in the soil, inspected it, picked out some insect eggs, and said to Qin Mu: "Although the winter snowstorm is very cold, the eggs of these pests will not freeze to death. Again
After three to five days, the weather gets warmer, and the eggs hatch and turn into bugs. In winter, the vegetation was cut down and burned by the victims. The bugs have nothing to eat and eat the crops. We must take precautions early to prevent pest disasters in advance. In these bugs
Kill them as soon as they are born.”
Qin Mu asked: "Master Xiang, how to prevent insect disasters?"
"Let sword masters station in the farmland, or spell masters use acupuncture, or let masters of poisonous insects come and release insects to eat the pests."
Wai Lang, a member of the Yu Department, stood up, clapped his hands, his body and hands were covered in mud, and said: "Disciples from the Sword Hall, the Dharma Hall and the Gu Hall can come out to practice."
Qin Mu nodded, invited Fan Yunxiao to come over, and said: "Brother Fan, give me an order to have the Sword Hall, the Law Hall, and the Gu Hall each send more than ten disciples here."
Fan Yunxiao summoned a bandit and ordered him to inform him.
The Ministry of Water Resources is rectifying water conservancy, cleaning out the silt accumulated in waterways, and re-planning waterways to facilitate irrigation of farmland.
On the other side, the officials of the Farming Department were measuring the land. They took out a measuring ruler and activated their vitality. The rulers unfolded from the folded state and became longer and longer. Measurement scales appeared on the rulers. Beside it, there was a Tai Tai ruler.
The bachelor recorded the numbers, and his vitality turned into heterogeneous abacus, which made a snapping sound.
The Minister of Industry and Engineering flew into the air with everyone from the Ministry of Industry and Engineering, stood in the air and overlooked the road conditions in various parts of Jiazhou, noted the damaged areas of the roads, and then went to repair the roads.
"Shan Youxin is a capable person!"
Qin Mu was really impressed that the officials from the Ministry of Industry of Yankang handled the matter in an orderly manner, which was indeed beneficial to the country and the people.
In the City Lord's Mansion, Jiazhou Governor Yin reported on the situation in Jiazhou. Ling Yushu listened to it all night, and then called the chief bookkeeper to check various records. He was so busy that he didn't sleep all night.
On the second day, Ling Yushu and Jiazhou Prefecture Yin were both a little tired. As soon as they walked out of the city lord's palace, the Minister of Industry and the Minister of Industry and Minister Qin Mu had already arrived outside the city lord's palace. Shan Youxin, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, brought a few volumes.
He presented the dossier and said: "Your Highness, the problem of water conservancy, transportation, and fruits and vegetables in Jiazhou has been settled. Only the problem of the Tuntian Division needs to be dealt with by Your Highness."
Ling Yushu was surprised and lost his voice: "So fast?"
Shan Youxin said: "After Your Highness reads this, you can prepare to kill."
Ling Yushu said solemnly: "Is land annexation so serious?"
Shan Youxin nodded.
Ling Yushu called Jiazhou Prefect Yin, put the file in his hand, and his face darkened: "Don't go to bed first, and I won't sleep either. You and I will read together! While you are reading, you will arrest people and kill people at the same time. It's time to
Catch those who deserve to be arrested and kill those who deserve to be killed! In extraordinary times, severe punishments should be used!"
Jiazhou Prefect's face was as pale as dirt.
Qin Mu summoned Shen Wanyun and others and said, "Your job is here. You and the officials will go arrest them later."
Shen Wanyun said calmly: "Master, didn't you say there is no danger? Those who can annex land in troubled times are local tycoons, and the powerful families in these places are also very powerful!"
Qin Mu smiled and said: "You are masters from Taiyuan University. You are also the elite of the country. How can you be afraid of local tyrants?"
Wei Yong, Yue Qinghong and others were eager to give it a try.
Not long after, the prince and Fu Yin sent orders to arrest people. Wei Yong and others immediately followed the officers and soldiers and did not return until noon. They were covered in blood and had obviously experienced several fierce battles.
Ling Yushu spent two days to deal with the matter in Jiazhou, and continued eastward, managing the Tujiang River along the way. He arrived in Hezhou that day. Hezhou is adjacent to the sea in the east, far away from the capital, with developed waterways, a large port, and merchant ships here.
Not only is it connected to ports across the country, but it also has trade with other countries and even with overseas countries.
Everyone was already familiar with the road, and when they arrived in Hezhou, they investigated on their own, without the need for instructions from the Minister of Industry. After finishing the affairs in Hezhou, Lingyushu saw that everyone was really tired, and said: "Everyone has worked hard, so I might as well rest in Hezhou for a few days, and then
Set off."
Everyone cheered.
Qin Mu was dragged by Ling Yuxiu to go shopping and said: "Hezhou has developed commerce and there are many novelties from foreign countries. Let's go to the market!"
"I'll go too!"
Si Yunxiang followed up, Ling Yuxiu glanced at her and thought: "Fox!"
"Xiao Lang Hoozi..." Si Yunxiang said to herself with a smile on her face.
The two women looked at each other, and Qin Mu seemed unaware that there were indeed many strange things in the market in Hezhou, but what attracted him was not these strange products, but the foreigners.
He saw many foreigners in strange clothes who looked different from the Yankang people. Some of them were one-eyed. Unlike other people who had two symmetrical eyes, they had a single eye between their eyebrows with a long vertical eye.
.
There are also four-armed people and two-faced people.
He also saw a few girls from the Sea Tribe, all dressed up in fancy clothes, but they had eight legs like an octopus and walked quickly. If he looked closely, he could see that there were fish gills on their ears.
"They came up from the sea."
Si Yunxiang leaned into Qin Mu's ear and whispered: "They are merchants from the sea tribe. I heard that they established cities and countries under the sea."
Qin Mu was surprised. The things sold by the Hai Clan were also very strange. He stopped in front of a blue coral tree. The coral tree automatically emitted water vapor, like a water balloon wrapping itself in it. There was a three-inch-large girl in the water vapor.
Swimming around on a seahorse, singing songs of unknown meaning.
Then several girls riding seahorses came down from the trees, and some men sang and danced together in the water around the coral trees.
This coral tree actually has a small tribe.
Si Yunxiang and Ling Yuxiu were also fascinated. At this moment, a tall girl wearing a dark green dress came up to her. She looked at the blue coral tree and couldn't help but praise: "What a strange species, Xiaohong, you think it is."
no?"
Qin Mu turned his head and saw red emerald earrings hanging from the girl's mutton-fat earlobes. The earrings suddenly stretched out, revealing a small red snake, which opened its mouth and hissed at Qin Mu.
"Long Jiaonan!"
Qin Mu was startled and was about to draw his sword when Long Jiaonan said with a smile: "Master Qin, it's best not to move. Xiao Hong is in the seven-star realm. He can eat all three of you with just one opening of his mouth. Master Qin, my father
Want to see you."
Qin Mu's scalp was numb and he said in a deep voice: "The old Dragon King is here too?"
Long Jiaonan chuckled and said: "My father is called the Dragon King, how can he have no power in Hezhou? But thanks to the leader, I was allowed to control the Dragon Clan and was exterminated, so my father and I had to hide in the East China Sea!"
Si Yunxiang blinked her eyes and said happily: "Congratulations to Sister Long for catching the Demon Cult Leader and the Sixth Princess Yankang. I have nothing to do here. I'll leave first!"
Long Jiaonan sneered, and the little red snake suddenly swam to Si Yunxiang's neck, stretched out the snake letter and licked Si Yunxiang's neck: "The eldest lady of the Si family, the saint of the Demon Sect, is no more valuable than the Sixth Princess of Yankang
It's inferior. Do you think I haven't checked you?"
