The control group of the ancient heroine

When the emperor saw Du Ke coming, he asked the princes to leave. Three princes were tested today, and they performed well, so the emperor was in a good mood: "Look at your expression, what good news is going on?"

Du Ke did not hide it: "It is indeed good news, for the emperor, the court, and Qiguo, it is all good news."

The emperor was curious to hear Du Ke's big tone: "Don't let me guess, I'm afraid I can't guess your good news."

Du Ke smiled and said: "Although this is good news, the emperor really can't guess it, there is news from Yunxiang County."

Speaking of Yunxiang County, the emperor is now very impressed with Qin Fang's actions. The silver found by the county magistrate of Yunxiang County has been used to fill the national treasury.

The emperor smiled and said, "You look so happy. It seems that this good news is really great. Well, don't keep us in suspense. Just tell us directly."

Du Ke said, "Qin Fang discovered two mines in Yunxiang County. You may guess which mines they are?"

The emperor: "..." I told you not to keep us in suspense. Why are you still keeping us in suspense?

Du Ke did not speak directly, but took out Qin Fang's memorial: "Qin Fang was afraid that this memorial would be read by others, so he sent someone to send it to the capital. Please read it, Your Majesty."

Oh?

The emperor received the memorial, but was not in a hurry to read it. Instead, he said, "Why is this memorial so thick? Not to mention that I have never seen such a thick memorial since I ascended the throne. Even when I was still a prince, I have never seen such a thick memorial on my father's desk. Qin Fang, don't write about trivial matters?"

Du Ke hurriedly said, "I am afraid, and I don't know what he wrote in the memorial." He did not read the memorial, but he did read the letter. He knew that the letter was so thick and the memorial was so thick, so he knew that the content inside was the same. However, he didn't know if the emperor's words were a test.

The emperor said again: "You must teach him well next time you have the chance, don't let him become a fifth-rank general and not even know how to write a memorial. If everyone writes a memorial like this, how many memorials will I read every day?"

Du Ke said: "Yes."

The imperial study was quiet, and the emperor began to read the memorial. Indeed, the content of the memorial was the same as the letter to Du Ke. Although the emperor disliked Qin Fang's memorial because it was too thick, after reading the detailed content in it, he liked it very much. As an emperor, of course he hopes that his subjects will tell him everything they know. What's more, Qin Fang's memorial overturned the emperor's perception of other memorials. Because... Qin Fang wrote in vernacular, which is completely different from the memorials written by those circuitous civil officials who were nitpicking. Vernacular is easy to understand.

The emperor raised his eyebrows when he saw Qin Fang mention the time of the military camp manor, but did not speak. When he saw the sulfur mine and saltpeter mine, he stood up suddenly, and then he and Du Ke looked at each other: "This is indeed good news. If, as Qin Fang said, we have sulfur mines and saltpeter mines, our country can make big firecrackers, then God bless my country, God bless me." As an emperor, no matter how he gets the throne, he really wants to be remembered for generations. Moreover, the emperor himself was a wise ruler, and he was naturally happy about things that were good for the country.

Dukoma knelt down: "Your Majesty is a true dragon emperor, with this big firecracker, why worry about not being able to rule the world?"

The emperor was flattered by this sentence, but he was still a little sane: "This big firecracker has a bad name. If you make something that is 100 times or 100 times more powerful than firecrackers, what would it be called?" The emperor thought about the power of firecrackers bursting in the air. If this power was 100 times or 100 times... then the small flame of the firecracker would become a big flame, and the flame and fire would look so powerful and terrifying.

Du Ke: "I am not talented enough to think of that name."

The Emperor: "Sulfur and nitrate are also raw materials. King Liang discovered that sulfur and nitrate are also raw materials. Fireworks made from firecrackers can produce such a strong flame. How about calling it firework?"

Firework? Du Ke thought for a while: "Your Majesty, this name is really good. Fireworks have enough firepower. Fireworks is in line with the medicinal properties and power of this medicine."

The Emperor himself also felt that it was appropriate: "Qin Fang first suppressed bandits and arrested corrupt officials, and now he has found sulfur and nitrate mines. Moreover, I also think that his local military policy is very beneficial to the court and the military camp. If every military camp buys soil on the spot, the soldiers will not have a shortage of food, and food will no longer be a problem during wars. "

Du Ke said: "I think so too. We can discuss the issue of soil in the military camps as appropriate. However, Mrs. Qin wanted to buy soil in the military camps. Although she is a woman, she can take care of her husband and children at home and also serve her husband. Considering these things, I see that Mrs. Qin is also a virtuous woman. According to Qin Fang, when he went to suppress the bandits, many of the more than 3,000 people were infected with the disease. Everyone was unwilling to move out of the tent and refused to be isolated. It was Mrs. Qin who convinced them by personally delivering food to them.

Those people were afraid that they would die after being isolated. Mrs. Qin told them that this disease would not be fatal as long as they were treated well and took medicine with the doctor. She personally delivered three meals a day to the door of the isolated tent, and those people believed her. Such a woman is very courageous. "

The emperor also had some ideas: "Oh? Whose daughter is this Mrs. Qin? According to Qin Fang's status, he was not a general at the time. His wife should be the daughter of an ordinary citizen, right?"

This... Du Ke said: "Mrs. Qin and Qin Fang are destined to be married to His Majesty. His Majesty has to tie up this marriage line, so it is perfect."

The emperor felt something interesting after hearing this: "How do you say this? Why don't I know?"

Du Ke explained: "Mrs. Qin was originally a maid of the Yang family. When you ascended the throne the month before last, you released all the maids who were not involved in the relevant incidents from the criminal family and gave them to the border officers and soldiers. Do you remember this? ‌? "They all knew about the relevant events, but they didn't say them out.

The crime is not as bad as that of a slave. This is the most humane law in the country. As long as the slave does not participate in the master's crime, the master will release the slave after committing a crime.

The emperor did not hate Taifu Yang's family, but his stance was different. Therefore, after hearing that Yang Haiyan was originally a maid of the Yang family, he had no other ideas. "I do remember." After he ascended the throne, he dealt with the first batch of criminal ministers, Taifu Yang and his related people, so Yang Haiyan and other maids were released into the first batch of slaves and granted marriage to them.

Du Ke said: "Mrs. Qin was originally the eldest maid next to Miss Yang's family."

The emperor was very impressed by the eldest lady of the Yang family: "Among the two jewels in the capital at that time, the only one was Miss Yang. I regret it..." What do I regret? They all know it. "The people around Shuangzhu in the capital are naturally different from ordinary maids. They are virtuous and virtuous. Our ladies are nothing more than that."

Du Ke thought to himself, after the emperor's compliment, who said that Mrs. Qin was once a maid?

The emperor added: "Can you please tell me what should be rewarded for Mrs. Qin's contribution to the imperial court regarding the military camp soil?" Speaking of which, he was more willing to reward Mrs. Qin than to reward Qin Fang. Mrs. Qin was rewarded, and Qin Fang's merits will be put aside. After all, Qin Fang only became a fifth-grade general of military virtue this year. Although the sulfur mine and saltpeter mine made great contributions, Qin Fang is now an official. This promotion The speed is too fast, ‌press‌press.

Du Ke said: "This is embarrassing for Wei Chen, but Wei Chen has no idea. Qin Fang's mother and grandmother have not yet been appointed. His father joined the army and saw his filial piety. If he were Qin Fang's grandmother and mother, I think Qin Fang will be very happy to ask for the imperial edict. "As a confidant of the emperor, how could Du Ke not know what the emperor was thinking. Moreover, because of his contribution to the sulfur and saltpeter mines, Qin Fang was indeed promoted. He just passed away in March this year, so it would be inappropriate for him to be promoted again at this time. In this way, it is appropriate to attribute this credit to his mother and grandmother.

The emperor was very satisfied with Du Ke's words: "Du Aiqing said that filial piety comes first among all good deeds. I will grant this title to Qin Fang's mother and grandmother. As for Qin Fang's wife, she offered a plan to solve the problem of soldiers' food supply, and she was given the title Two hundred taels of gold, everything goes as you wish..."

Du Ke: "Weichen Qin Fang thanks the Lord for his kindness."

Huang 껗: "That's it for now, let's talk about the business. Regarding the sulfur mine and the nitrate mine, who do you think is more appropriate to send?" The emperor looked at Du Ke and asked Du Ke Go 놅 meaning.

If it's normal, it doesn't hurt for Du Ke to go. After all, after going here, it will still be related to the medicine. He has been busy recently. However: "Your Majesty, if you send someone to Yunxiang County to transport sulfur and nitrate, it won't be a problem. Therefore, the firewood still has to be made in Yunxiang County. In this case, I don't have to worry about it. , It’s better to let Qin Fang take full charge of this matter, and the imperial court will send people from the Ministry of Industry over. "

The emperor heard: "I really want to think about this again."

Du Ke saluted: "That humble minister will leave first."

The emperor waved his hand.

Du Ke came out of the imperial study and took a deep breath. Although Qin Fang's credit was suppressed, his actions really left his name in front of the emperor. At that time, it didn't matter if the credit was too high, it was better to leave an impression on the emperor.

When Du Ke left the palace, he saw the guards of Du Mansion waiting at the entrance of the palace. This guard... Du Ke's eyelids twitched. The guard also looked at Du Ke: "My lord. My lord, General Qin sent someone to deliver a second letter."

Du Ke: "..." Doesn't this allow people to rest? After only half a day of rushing, the second letter arrived. However, after two consecutive letters, I saw that the things in the second letter were also very serious. Du Ke got into the carriage and said, "Go back home."

Du Ke was just a cup of tea in the palace, and he entered the palace again in the blink of an eye. Du Ke entered the palace twice in a row, which attracted the attention of some people. Everyone asked what happened, otherwise why did Du Ke enter the palace twice in a row?
