Xiang Jian said: "We can't hide it from the Holy One if we want to. Instead of hiding it and being discovered, it's better to offer it as soon as possible to show our loyalty."

The emperor wanted to grit his teeth again.Zhang Ci and Chen Fan really know each other, and they will present it as soon as they have any results.But they are too knowledgeable and not hiding, and they feel that they are not cute.

The emperor said: "You will stay in the capital these days and guide the kiln workers and masons."

Yu Chenglin took Xiang Jian out.The emperor looked at Qi Liangyu: "What are you doing all day in the Ministry of Industry?"

Qi Liangyu was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground: "The affairs of the Ministry of Industry are complicated, and the personnel are exhausted and unable to innovate. It is the officials who have neglected their duties."

"Staff exhausted? Oh, how many things have Chen Fan and Zhang Ci been busy with? A group of children can manage Changping Township in an orderly manner, farming, building houses, brewing wine, building roads, building bridges, building reservoirs, running schools, distributing subsidies, etc. Can support disaster relief in other counties. How many roads and bridges have you built by the Ministry of Industry?"

Qi Liangyu didn't dare to say anything.

"Can't do it anymore?"

Qi Liangyu trembled all over.

The emperor said: "Zhuge Liannu has been lost. You should study it. I will also assign this task to the children of the Chen family. I also want to see how far each of you can do it."

Qi Liangyu retreated tremblingly.

Chen's house received the oral order, and Chen Zhongyan said to the decree: "We don't have Liannu, how can we think about Liannu?"

The eunuch passed the decree and said: "Our family will report to the Holy One." He took the reward and left.

The children smothered their laughter and looked at each other.

Zhuge Liannu?Still need to ponder?They already used the abbreviated version, just to second it a bit.

Chen Ya sighed exaggeratedly: "Let's play for two days first, and learn the crossbow."

The emperor sent people to send a batch of crossbows and some tools and materials, and sent an eunuch and a guard to live in the Chen Mansion to be responsible for teaching or liaison work.

The children practiced with the guards for a few days, became proficient in crossbows, and began to learn how to make crossbows.

The crossbow will be done, and everyone will start drawing.A stack of drafts was drawn, several models were made, and a small three-arrow crossbow was made, and the test was successful.

Chen Zhongyan said: "I suddenly realized that I want to formally draw a design drawing of the big crossbow."

Chen Zhongyan did not let other children intervene, and independently drew a set of design drawings.

"Please general and father-in-law take me to meet the Holy Majesty, I want to submit this picture in person, please ask the Holy Majesty to supervise and make it."

The guard went to report, the emperor agreed, and Chen Zhongyan entered the palace to see his father whom he hadn't seen for several years.

The emperor looked at the drawings for a while, then looked at his son: "You did this alone? No one else participated?"

Chen Zhongyan shook his head: "We have been working together for a long time, and Erchen suddenly got an inspiration and wanted to complete it alone. If it succeeds, they have credit; if it fails, Erchen will bear the consequences alone."

The emperor snorted: "Stand up and show me."

Chen Zhongyan stood up, the emperor walked in front of him, supported his shoulders, and looked at his son carefully.

The 14-year-old boy is already as tall as the emperor, and he has the potential to catch up and surpass him.

"You have been raised really well these years." The emperor said slowly, both relieved and sad.

Chen Zhongyan said: "It's been five years, and this year is the sixth year. I don't know how to repay this kindness of nurturing."

The emperor looked at him deeply and said, "The world over there is wider than the palace."

Chen Zhongyan made a salute: "My son is grateful for the good intentions of the father, and dare not let him down. He has been studying and exercising hard."

The emperor took Chen Zhongyan's hand back to the case, let him sit by the side, and explained the drawings in detail.

The deputy commander of the Imperial Forest Army was ordered to come, and the emperor said: "You and this Mr. Chen personally supervised the construction and made this crossbow."

The deputy commander took over the assignment and led Chen Zhongyan out.

Yu Chenglin observed the emperor's expression from the corner of his eye, and said, "The Sixth Highness has grown up so much, should you let him return to the palace?"

The emperor sighed: "I didn't want to see their mother and son back then, and I was very angry when I heard the news of Gong's disappearance. But after a long time, it's inevitable that I miss them."

Yu Chenglin remained silent, with an appearance of listening.

The emperor continued: "I heard that he is in the Chen family, so let him be raised outside. Granting Changping Township is for the Chen family and also for him. And they really seized the opportunity and achieved remarkable results. If he is now Returning to the palace, on the contrary, I was restrained."

Yu Chenglin said with a smile: "In the future, the boys from the Chen family will be dazzling when they take the imperial examination. His Highness the Sixth Highness will definitely be the number one scholar in high school."

"Isn't that just grabbing jobs from the common people?" The emperor glanced at him.

Yu Chenglin smiled hehehe: "Double yolk eggs are pretty good."

The emperor smiled: "You ghost."

The cement road has been poured and maintained for more than ten days.The emperor rode his horse back and forth several times, and sent someone to water it several times, very satisfied.

The Liannu supervised by Chen Zhongyan is also ready.The emperor watched and stroked, feeling a little excited.

He personally put in six crossbow bolts and manipulated the mechanism. The crossbow bolts were wrapped in the force of mountains and tsunami, and shot towards the high wall in the distance.

There was a burst of applause from the audience.

Chen Liangyu also applauded, even though he really didn't want to admit that it was the credit of others, the momentum and power of the crossbow arrows also made him feel emotional involuntarily.

The emperor showed a bright smile, but stopped it in an instant.He and Yu Chenglin quickly put in another six arrows, very satisfied with the efficiency of the arrow exchange.Only then did he smile again.

"The vice-commander and the workers involved in the manufacturing will all be rewarded, and Chen Zhongyan will reward them heavily." The emperor ordered loudly.

Qi Liangyu looked at all this, full of embarrassment.

The emperor didn't criticize him, and he felt more and more uncomfortable.

Xiang Jian returned to Yuanshuo County with the rewards. Chen Fan looked at the jewels and silks and felt that they were far less lovely than grains.

Recently, she started to feel sleepy again. When Dr. Chu checked her pulse, she was pregnant again.

Zhang Ci's expression didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Chen Fan teased him: "Are you unhappy?"

"Of course I'm happy." Zhang Ci hugged her, "We have another daughter, and we will have both sons and daughters."

"But it's clearly unhappy written on your face."

Zhang Ci whispered in her ear: "You are pregnant, and you have to abstain from sexual intercourse for several months as your husband. You are very unhappy."

Chen Fan felt that his whole face was hot to the base of his ears, so he pinched him on the back.

The trial planting of the first batch of spring potatoes was very successful, and the planting area of ​​autumn potatoes can be doubled several times.

Canola, pepper and cotton acreage also increased a lot.

The amount of grain that the whole people needed to pay for road construction was astonishing. The county government bought a large amount of grain from major grain merchants and gentry. They made money and were very happy.

The common people have enough food, so they use the food to exchange other commodities, and the businesses of all sizes are booming and very happy.

The surrounding states and counties heard the news, and many people poured into Yuanshuo County every day to sell grain and do business.The stewards of Zhang Ci's various farms also came.Grain will go bad after a long time, and the farm needs to clear some stocks and store copper coins at the same time.

The ongoing road construction projects have made Yuanshuo County very lively, and the copper coins, food and commodities on the market are circulating like running water every day.Everyone feels that they have made a profit and are very happy.
