Chapter 70 The Best of Chu Country
"This fuel-efficient lamp is very fuel-efficient," the minister of the Ministry of Industry continued to explain the benefits of fuel-efficient lamps. At the end, he added: "Your Majesty, among the people of the four countries, how many people can afford oil lamps, and how many of them work at sunrise? When the sun rises and rests? When it gets dark, the world becomes dark! But it won’t happen in the future! With this fuel-efficient lamp, how many people’s nights are bright?
Your Majesty, with this oil-saving lamp, how much oil can be saved every year?Poor people no longer have to eat vegetables without oil and water, and are no longer afraid of not being able to afford oil lamps!This is the gospel of the people!
Your Majesty, throughout the ages, there have been very few children from poor families Yuyue Longmen. After all, most children from poor families can only study during the day because they are reluctant to light up more oil lamps. Longmen is just around the corner!
How many pillars of talent will this oil-saving lamp cultivate for our Chu country?The country's take-off counts as a schedule!
Your Majesty, our state of Chu has this oil-saving lamp, and it is the first among the four countries to realize the lighting of thousands of families!It is the head of the four countries!Your Majesty, this is the good news for Chu!
This is all brought about by the blessing of the emperor! Our Chu country is blessed!Blessed are the people of our state of Chu!Blessed are the students in the world! "

Minister of Industry: "."

His beard trembled with anger! !

Usually like a saw-mouthed gourd, why can you say so today?
A small oil-saving lamp, why didn't he say it to heaven?

The minister of the Ministry of Industry was so angry that his lungs were crooked!

It is obviously his credit!
I just don't understand what's going on, why does this bad old man have a fuel-efficient lamp in his hand?

"Haha, good! What a fuel-efficient lamp! Xu Aiqing is really ingenious and exquisite, and she was able to invent a fuel-efficient lamp! Reward! There are many rewards! Xu Aiqing, you immediately order someone to make a batch of fuel-efficient lamps! Just come here, I want to show him the picture of the lights of Wanjia in the capital! Let him see that our state of Chu is not comparable to their state of Zhao!"

Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "I obey the order! Back to the emperor, this oil-saving lamp was actually thought up by a woman surnamed Shen in Futai County. I just felt that this oil-saving lamp was beneficial to the country, so I reported it to the emperor. This credit Don't dare to enjoy it alone."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry was stunned when he heard this.

A woman surnamed Shen in Futai County?
the same person?

So this is someone trying to cast a fishing net?

It just doesn't make sense!
The emperor had already thought of how to show off in front of Zhao Guo's envoys. As long as he thought of the shocked expressions of Zhao Guo's envoys, he would be happy: "Haha. If this is the case, rewards will be rewarded!"

Chu State is the best of many of the Four Kingdoms!

The land of Chu State is the most barren!

The state of Chu has the fewest fertile fields and dry land!
The grain output is the lowest in Chu!
There are the most poor people in Chu State!
Frozen to death every year, and the number of people starved to death in Chu State is the largest!
The country of Chu has the fewest able men and strangers!
Chu State has the fewest students who are erudite and talented!
The students from the four countries competed for the worst Chu country!
Chu is the least famous Confucianist in the four countries!
The state treasury of Chu is the emptiest!

Chu's weapons are the most backward!

Chu has the weakest army!
This time with the oil-saving lamp, Chu State can finally take the first place!
The first country to realize thousands of lights!

Haha
The emperor was happy, so he rewarded Miss Shen of Futai County, who invented the oil-saving lamp, with an imperial archway and a jade ruyi of "Fuze Tianxia". The decree was drawn up by the Imperial Academy and then issued.

Then he rewarded the minister of the Ministry of Industry with a jade Ruyi inlaid with gold and jade.

Although this reward was small, it made the ministers in the court even more frightened.

What does Yu Ruyi represent? It means making the other party happy.

For such a great achievement, the emperor just rewarded Yu Ruyi, indicating that he had temporarily recorded the achievement.

Wait until a later opportunity to meet the other party's request.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry felt a chill in his heart.

He is over sixty years old and has reached the age of becoming an official.

The emperor wants the minister of the Ministry of Industry to take his place?

How can this work?

He's ready for a candidate!

Originally, he wanted to take this opportunity to promote his own people, but he didn't expect that the other party would take the lead!
The minister of the Ministry of Industry said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En, long live your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

After the court, Prime Minister Liang walked up to Minister of Industry and said in a low voice, "What's the matter with the fuel-efficient lamp?"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry was also annoyed: "Someone doesn't understand the rules, and I'm afraid they are spreading fishing nets to catch big fish!"

Prime Minister Liang: "Hmph, then I'm afraid he caught the wrong fish, don't sink his own boat too! Don't use this kind of person who has both ways!"

"What the prime minister said is true." It's just a pity that this opportunity was lost.

After Prime Minister Liang said this, he walked away and left the palace. He got into a carriage, and the Minister of the Household Department said respectfully in the carriage: "My lord, Prime Minister."

"But what happened in Futai County?" Prime Minister Liang sat down and asked.

"Xiaguan received a letter saying that there has been heavy rain in Futai County these days, which may affect the harvest. If the rain continues, there may be disasters!"

Prime Minister Liang raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: This is not God helping me!

"What about the incitement?"

"It's been a storm for the past few days and no people have gone out, but people have been arranged. When the weather is good, they will go to incite public anger. The torrential rain is a help. This year, the food production in Futai County will definitely decrease. The people are getting more and more flustered. As long as there is chaos, things get serious, and Yu Shi impeaches, that kid from the Ren family will not be able to be the county magistrate, and the prince will only become more and more incompetent in front of the emperor!"

Prime Minister Liang pursed his lips, "What prince, he hasn't been formally canonized yet! Don't leave any traces of this matter."

"It's the eldest prince, my minister made a mistake! Don't worry, my lord, the source of the gossip is impossible to find. But last night, I received a letter saying that Ren Zilin secretly bought a large amount of wheat and wheat seeds in Futai County and nearby counties. Send the letter to Jin, Yan, and Zhao to find someone to buy high-yield grain seeds."

Prime Minister Liang sneered when he heard the words: "He is smart. The harvest is coming soon. The rainstorm will definitely affect the harvest. He bought the grain in advance. Is he planning to use the grain to appease the people? Sure enough, he has a lot of money! Heh, since there is so much money, then I will Play with him,..."

He explained it in detail.

After all, he was just a fledgling, and he thought it was a great trick, so he played with them, the little ones whose hair hadn't even grown yet.

"Yes~"

After going to court, within half a day, all the noble ladies and young ladies in the capital knew that a woman surnamed Shen in Futai County had invented an oil-saving lamp, and was rewarded by the emperor with the imperial archway and jade ruyi.

This afternoon happened to be the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet held by Princess Wuyang. She invited the wives and young ladies from various aristocratic families in the capital to the Princess Mansion to appreciate the chrysanthemums. Princess Changle and Shen Ruolan also came.

Everyone is talking about fuel-efficient lamps.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry made a big splash in the court today, and the emperor rewarded him with a jade ruyi, which meant that he intended to pass on the position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry to him.So today everyone gathered around Mrs. Minister of the Ministry of Industry to inquire about news.

"Mrs. Xie, what is the origin of the girl who invented the fuel-efficient lamp? Is she a distant relative of yours?"

"Mrs. Xie, isn't the girl who invented the fuel-efficient lamp very beautiful? Will she be in Beijing for a draft in the spring?"

"Does it need to be said? When will the fuel-saving lamp not show up, but now? Isn't this a show to create momentum for the draft? Madam Xie is hiding it!"

"Miss Shen received Yu Ruyi, who was rewarded by the emperor at this time. It seems that she will definitely shine in the draft after the spring! Madam Xie, what is your relationship with the other party? Is that girl beautiful?"

The draft is related to the future of each government. The emperor is an upright man, young and handsome, and the post is vacant. Many ministers want to send their daughters to the palace, so everyone is inquiring.

Mrs. Minister of the Ministry of Industry didn't know anything, so she could only smile and said: "Then Miss Shen is a smart woman."

Isn't it smart to come up with fuel-efficient lamps?
Shen Ruolan accompanied Princess Changle to attend the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet today.

It's just that she is the son-in-law's stepwife, and the wives of these aristocratic families generally ignore her. Only when Princess Wuyang talks to her, everyone will say a word or two to her.

At this moment, when she heard everyone discussing about the girl surnamed Shen in Futai County, she couldn't help being a little dazed. She didn't know which girl was so powerful?

It would be great if my two children were so powerful!
 It's five o'clock~
