Zhao Fujin, the Emperor who brought disaster to the country

Chapter 90 The blessings of craftsmanship

"Officials, be careful!" Yanxi shouted, followed the heat wave, rushed towards Zhao Ji, and knocked Zhao Ji straight to the ground.

There was a roar in Zhao Ji's ears, plus he was knocked down and a heavy object pressed down on him, and a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out.

Zhao Yan touched his nose and wanted to sneak away while everyone was unaware, but Cai Ji grabbed him and pulled him back: "Eighth Prince, let's go make amends with the officials!"

As he spoke, he forcefully pulled Zhao Yan back, and together with him, he pulled Guan Jia and Yan Xi up.

Zhao Ji was pulled up by the crowd, blushing and thick-necked, and slapped Zhao Yan on the head: "You bastard, do you want to kill me!"

"Dad, Dad, please calm down. Isn't this my son's hand slipping?" Zhao Yan was hit on the right side of his face, and he immediately stretched out his left cheek: "Dad, there is still one more slap left, otherwise the size of the two sides of the face will be different. , my son will be laughed at."

"My hands are slippery, I'll make your hands slippery!!!" Zhao Ji was almost furious and hit him head-on!

Early in the morning, he heard that the Ordnance Superintendent finally made a grenade, which was very powerful. He excitedly drove the tram to Ninghe Hall, wanting to take his daughter to watch it together. However, he did not expect that his daughter had not gotten up from bed late, so he naturally Not wanting to dig her daughter out from under the covers, she pulled Zhao Chuxuan over to take a look.

Who would have thought that this kid got excited when he saw the grenade, took one and pulled the fuse, and threw it out with a "click". It was okay to throw it out, but this kid threw it too far!

It was actually left behind in the temporary gunpowder storage area more than a hundred meters away!
  This time, the grenade exploded, and the temporary gunpowder magazine also exploded with a bang, directly destroying the workshop in that area to the ground!
  Fortunately, the row of workshops were used to store things, and there were no craftsmen there, otherwise they would have been blasted to pieces with no bones left!
  Zhao Ji was angry, but he was extremely shocked by the power of the grenade and Zhao Yan's arm strength!

Not only him, but Zhou Tong, Li Gang and others present were also shocked!

This grenade was developed yesterday evening. They got the news and rushed over in the middle of the night. They tried it personally early in the morning. The furthest distance it could be thrown was only sixty or seventy meters. The eighth prince looked like he was just throwing it casually. , and actually threw it a hundred meters away!
  This distance!
  Zhou Tong and Li Gang glanced at each other in unison, and both saw a trace of regret in the other's eyes.

If Zhao Yan were not a prince and brought it with him in future battles, he could replace more than a thousand soldiers by throwing grenades!
  "Guanjia, you should come to this place less often in the future. You will scare this old slave to death!" Yanxi knelt on the ground with a bitter look on his face: "As the saying goes, a gentleman will not stand under a dangerous wall..."

When the grenade first exploded, he was dumbfounded. After it exploded, he remembered to escort him, and actually knocked down the official's house and threw him on it. This crime may be serious or minor, but it will cost him his life!
  "Okay, you old slave, stop nagging me!" Zhao Ji waved his hand and looked at Zhou Tong and Li Gang: "You two are about to compete. If you don't train troops in the camp, what fun will it be?"

Was this because he and others were embarrassed and angered?
  Zhou Tong and Li Gang were being reprimanded, and there was no trace of embarrassment on their faces. Instead, they folded their hands and bowed in unison, saying congratulations in unison: "Congratulations to the official family for getting this weapon! The prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the ministers!"

"Hmm~~" Zhao Ji elongated his face, suppressed the raised corners of his mouth, and looked at Zhao Yan coldly: "I heard that you have made a lot of money doing business with Fu'er these days?"

what?
  Zhao Yan had a bitter look on his face: "Dad, it's not much, only a few thousand taels..."

"So, let Deputy Superintendent Cai calculate the losses of that workshop and all the expenses needed for reconstruction. You will be responsible for all the costs." Zhao Ji interrupted him with sharp eyes: "In three days, I want to see the reconstruction. The workshop, as well as the things that should be placed in the workshop, should be kept in abundance, do you understand?"

"Dad, my son doesn't have that much money." Zhao Ji felt a little unsure when he saw Zhao Ji's stern look.

"No, don't you know how to lend?" Zhao Ji winked at Yanxi: "How much money does this man still have in his private treasury? You go and do the math and lend it to him first at four cents interest."

"Ah? Dad, why are you more deceitful than Fifth Sister? Her loan only costs [-] cents interest!" Zhao Yan refused and pulled Zhao Ji's sleeves tightly: "How about you, my son's glass workshop?" I’ll give you one share of the dividend, so you won’t have to ask for interest, right?”

"Only one point?" Zhao Ji looked disdainfully, glanced at Zhou Tong and Li Gang, and retracted their extended ears. "One point is a lot!" Zhao Yan exclaimed aggrievedly: "My son only received three points of dividends. From the end of the year to now, in just over a month, he has received more than [-] taels of silver. You can do the math yourself. Over the years, you will get In less than three to five years, you will have the money to build Gen Yue!"

"Bah, you stinky boy, do you think I'm the kind of person who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun!" Zhao Ji slapped Zhao Yan on the head again: "I save money for the use of the country in the future, why? A bastard like you, you only save some money to buy some random things, and you waste your money in vain!"

Buying something I like is a waste. Why didn't you say it was a waste when you, the old man, ordered a few traitors to help you collect people's wealth and wealth in order to expand the Yanfu Palace?
  Zhao Yan cursed in his heart, and finally remembered how he was demoted to a commoner at that time. He changed his words and begged for mercy: "Yes, yes, yes, my son said it wrong. My father has a very upright manner and everything he did. This is all for the sake of the country, don’t worry, my son will definitely write a letter of apology today and send a cent of the dividend to his father~~"

Zhao Yan looked like a bitch, nodded and bowed, begging for mercy again and again.

"You know how to take advantage of me!" Zhao Ji finally smiled a little: "Then you stay here to supervise the progress of the construction. I have no choice but to take the blame for the trouble your kid caused!"

"Oh, thank you, Dad!" Zhao Yan beamed when he heard this. He had a special liking for this grenade. He just threw it casually, but it was not accurate. He was thinking about how to stay and try it again.

As a result, the smile on his face froze before it could bloom.

"Don't touch the grenade again. Whichever hand touches it, I will cut off which hand of yours!" How could Zhao Ji not know what he was thinking, and nailed him to the spot with just one sentence: "Deputy Superintendent Cai, you will supervise this matter. !”

"Yes, don't worry, officials!" Cai Ji felt relieved when he saw that Zhao Yan had caused such a big trouble and was handled lightly by the officials.

"Re-dividing a piece of open space for research and trial use, it is too dangerous to be close to the workshop." Zhao Ji looked at the temporary workshop that was bombed to the ground, and he couldn't suppress the joy in his heart: "This weapon is dangerous, and Sui It's the same as the gunsmith's workshop. Anyone who participates in the craftsmanship will be rewarded with silver coins, and their important family members will be moved to Qingpingfang."

Qingpingfang was built in Xicheng, next to the Military War Office. All the people who lived in it were meritorious craftsmen in the workshop, and their food and accommodation were fully paid by the imperial court. The children all studied in Qingping Academy, and they could equally participate in officialdom in the future. No tuition fees are charged.

For people with a craftsman background, this is a great blessing.

After all, since the beginning of time, three generations of craftsmen have not been allowed to participate in the national examination, and have no chance to become officials or bosses. One generation is a craftsman, and every generation is a craftsman.

The emergence of Qingpingfang can be said to be a blessing for craftsmen: not only does it have the opportunity to change their family status, but it also allows their families to eat free meals and their children to receive free education. Which craftsman can’t be tempted?
  Everyone wants their children to be successful and shine brightly one day, right?

There has long been a craze in the entire Ordnance Supervision, and everyone is eager to participate in meritorious projects so that their families can move into the Ordnance Supervision and their children can enter Qingping College.

However, Qingpingfang also has a disadvantage, that is, it is easy to enter but difficult to get out.

Whenever you want to go out, you must be accompanied by the supervisor. Whether you are visiting relatives or friends, you must not leave the supervisor's sight for a moment. You must leave on time and return on time without any delay.

In other words, I seem to be resurrected with full blood. It’s hard to say how many days it will take, but before the end of the month, I will definitely pay back the debt I owe, and I will never cheat!
