Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 645 Take the Garden as Mortgage
"Then talk about it?"

Queenie has made significant progress, and her brain is becoming more flexible, which may be the reason why she and her brother-in-law call each other brothers and share the same goals.

Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. The ancients, sincerity does not deceive others.

"Get it!"

Jia Liu decided to talk to Enming and Jin Jian. As long as the matter is not at the last moment, anything can be discussed.

It's not all the result of talks that made him come to this day.

Don't talk about it, how do you know it's impossible?
Of course, regardless of whether Enming and Jin Jian agree or not, the underground palace of the holy grandfather must be opened.

Because the preliminary work has been carried out for more than a year, a large number of rare items have been transported from Sichuan, and they can be exchanged when the holy grandfather nods.

Before talking, we must first confirm whether the mechanism at the entrance of the underground palace cannot be opened normally.

Regardless of his physical and mental fatigue, Jia Liu immediately took Lao Lei to the underground palace to work on site.

The entrance to the underground palace of the holy grandfather is completely sealed. From the perspective of architecture, there is no entrance at all. Only those who know how to know where the mechanism is.

Lao Lei and his apprentices tried to activate the mechanism, but just as Lao Lei worried, due to serious water accumulation, the mechanism got stuck and it was difficult to open normally.

Queenie asked Lao Lei to think of other ways. After discussing with his apprentices for a long time, Lao Lei suggested that he could drill a hole from the bottom of the glazed screen wall of the underground palace to create a gap, and then use an iron rod to pry it.

But this workload is relatively large, and it is not safe.

Firstly, the hole dug may be submerged by stagnant water; secondly, it takes too long, at least half a month.

This is not in line with Jia Liu's claim that time is life.

Therefore, directly blasting the gate of the underground palace became Jia Liu's final choice.

save time and energy.

Immediately he ordered Baozhu to collect gunpowder, wrap them in silk like the gunpowder packs of Xunfan Bandits back then, make [-] to [-] gunpowder first, and then pile them up and explode them directly.

The reason why thirty or fifty medicine packs are used is to win by quantity.

After all, gunpowder is not powerful these days.

Just to be on the safe side, Jia Liu sent another official document to Malanyu's general army, asking Malanyu to transfer three cannons to Jingling immediately.

If the medicine bag can't be exploded, just take the cannon and bomb it with a big iron ball.

It depends on whether the holy grandfather's tomb-protecting magic circle is stronger or the power of science is stronger.

After arranging all this, Jia Liu had Enming and Jin Jian called over, and had a talk with them about the bombing of the grave.

Enming and Jin Jian came over quickly, and they paid enough respect to Jia Liu, the young minister of the frontier.

Because Lao Fu must have explained to them beforehand.

Especially the golden slips, one bite at a time, the forehead is hard work, a proper old Jianghu.

Queenie told the story and told the two deputy team leaders that the underground palace could not be opened normally, and now they can only use gunpowder to explode.

"fry?"

Enming and Jinjian were surprised by each other when they heard the news.

Enming first raised an objection, thinking that if gunpowder was used to blow up the underground palace of the holy grandfather, not to mention the question of whether to startle the dragon's veins, it might not be good to spread the news.

In case someone with a heart wants to make a fuss, who can bear this responsibility?
Therefore, it is recommended to force the craftsmen to come up with a more secure method.

Jin Jian thought for a while, but said: "The water accumulation in the underground palace is already quite serious. If we don't repair it, the Jingling Mausoleum may collapse as a whole, and the impact will be even worse. If it doesn't work, let's blow it up."

After saying this, let Jia Liu move Jin Jian from the A-rank to the B-rank on the list of the reactionary group headed by the old rich. OK.

Queenie glanced at Jin Jian thoughtfully, then moved her eyes to Enming's face, and said, "My father-in-law and I also want to hurry up, this matter can't be dragged on any longer, even if we use gunpowder to blow it up, it won't be good, but The underground palace can be opened immediately for rescue protection, otherwise, if the underground palace collapses irreparably, who of us can afford the consequences?"

"This"

Seeing that the Minister of Rites, the Governor of Zhili, and the Minister of Internal Affairs all tended to blow up the underground palace, Enming, who had just been promoted to the minister of the Ministry of Industry, couldn't say anything more. What does it matter.

It's just that it sounds a bit suspenseful.

"Master En, don't worry too much. This matter is only known to a few people. In addition, the governor can arrange military exercises in the surrounding area to isolate idlers, so that you don't have to worry about things leaking."

Jia Liu felt more and more that he had Sun Dianying's potential, because the routines were all the same.

"Military exercises?"

Both Enming and Jin Jian were a little bit taken aback by the new term, not understanding what it meant.

Queenie knew it, and explained at the side that it was a normal autumn exercise, and the explosion of the underground palace would be covered by the blasting of guns and guns.

En Ming thinks carefully and thinks it's feasible, so he no longer hesitates, nodded and said: "Then do it according to Kui Butang's brother-in-law."

This matter was passed unanimously.

Immediately afterward, the subject of the meeting moves forward.

"Forehead son-in-law, Fu Zhongtang means"

Jin Jian was a little embarrassed to say that in addition to rushing to repair the underground palace of the holy ancestors this time, he also had to sell the funeral objects of the holy ancestors.

"At present, the country is in trouble, and the national treasury is tight. In this extraordinary period, extraordinary means are used. As long as it can solve the urgent need of my Qing Dynasty, when the country's finances are rich in the future, it is enough to add more money to the great grandfather."

Jin Jian was embarrassed to say it, but Queenie said it directly, and when she said this, she was very frank and dedicated to the public.

Just as Jia Liu was about to say something about the serious situation, Enming got up and said, "I don't think it's a big deal. To put it bluntly, if the Qing Dynasty is gone, the Han people will let our imperial tomb of the Qing Dynasty go! The treasure in the underground palace is for the Han people to get, so it’s better to take it out as an emergency!”

Huh?
This Enming is very foresighted.

Jia Liu couldn't help admiring the minister of the Ministry of Industry who had just returned to Beijing from Anhui.

It's what it is, but if you think about it with your ass, you know that the Qing Dynasty is gone, and the imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty will never escape the hands of the Han people.

Because, there are many blood debts.

"For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, for the people of the world, and for the stability of the country and the country, it is understandable to borrow something from the holy grandfather to cope with the famine. I think the holy grandfather will not object in the spirit of heaven."

Jia Liu's statement is very down-to-earth and in line with human cognition.

Enming and Jin Jian looked at each other. Before they came, they knew that besides related maintenance, the purpose of opening the underground palace was to take out the funerary objects in the underground palace, and operate it secretly in the name of maintenance, renovation or damage addition, so as to solve the financial deficit. big problem.

Now that we have spoken, there is no need to hide and choke.

Enming directly asked how to divide the method, that is, what ratio should the imperial court and Zhili side take what they need after the things are taken out.

"Score? What do you mean? Mr. En might as well explain the words clearly, the governor doesn't understand very well."

Jia Liu glanced at Enming in wonder: I just praised you a few times, and you kicked your nose in the face?
"This?"

Enming was stunned: No, what do you mean by that?
Jin Jian was also puzzled, wondering why this son-in-law of Prince Xin's Mansion, who had killed several princes in Beijing, was pretending to be so stupid.

Queenie coughed lightly, and explained for the forehead: "According to the principle of regional management, whoever protects is responsible for the concept. Anything unearthed in Jingling belongs to Zhili in theory, and the imperial court has no reason to participate in the distribution."

"Kuibutang!"

Enming subconsciously stood up, pointed at the unchanging face and heartbeat of Queenie, "You must be crazy!"

Jin Jian also couldn't sit still because of what Queenie said, and her expression changed drastically.

"Why, Mr. Kui didn't say it clearly enough? From the looks of you two, could it be that you are dissatisfied with me, Zhili?"

Jia Liu picked up the tea bowl unhappily, about to drop it.

However, Queenie's next words made him subconsciously put the teacup back to its original place.

"What I mean is that in theory Jingling Angelica belongs to Zhili, but if the court is really anxious for money, then Zhili can't do nothing. After all, it's all for the sake of the Qing Dynasty. So what I mean is, the court You can borrow things from Zhili as a mortgage, such as the Yuanming Garden?"

After finishing speaking, Queenie bowed to Jia Liu who was beside her and smiled apologetically, "I don't know if my son-in-law thinks it's okay?"
