Another World Da Ming: I use a hundred lives to become holy

In the face of this request from Crown Prince's Tutor Ma Jia, Crown Prince Zhu Biao remained silent.

The court officials also remained silent.

But they all did the same thing, which was to look at the Minister of Works together, waiting for his reasonable explanation.

"Your Highness, I was just about to congratulate the Sun Moon Dynasty! The Ministry of Works has produced another important weapon!"

Zhao Zheng would naturally not disappoint everyone's expectations. The Minister of Works did not hesitate at all. He only showed helplessness on his face for a few moments before he directly and "passively" revealed the achievements of the Ministry of Works during this period.

Is there any result?!

Or was it made up on the spur of the moment?

It's not surprising that the court officials thought so. In fact, from the very beginning, almost everyone regarded the money allocated by the court specifically for Zhao Zheng, the head of the minister's family, as an expense to keep him behaved.

If you don't come out and tell us that we have something to do, we won't come to make trouble for you.

You actually took it out so quickly!

The crowd looked at Taisun Fu, ready to laugh at his joke, while at the same time trying to think of a way to speak that would not cause the two men to target them but would allow them to get closer to the Ministry of Works.

After all, that was a treasure that the Zhao family had taken out, not to mention that such a huge amount of money was spent on it this time.

"In this case, I am relieved."

But who would have known that on the face of Taisun Fu Majia with his eyes closed, there was no embarrassment at all. He just nodded, as if the aggressiveness just now was an illusion.

The Minister is the head of the family. How can a junior like you...

"I dare not disobey the elders' instructions!"

Under everyone's stiff gaze, Ma Jia, the Minister of Works, bowed respectfully to Ma Jia, the Grandson's Tutor.

"Ah."

The Grand Master Ma Jia simply nodded calmly, accepted it calmly, then groped in the air with his hands, and the two boys beside him immediately understood.

The ministers just watched as the two unattainable bloodlines supported the joke they had originally wanted to watch, and walked to the side of the palace to become masters that no one could mess with anymore.

Watching this confrontation between the two parties, which should have been exciting, it started with suspense and ended in a sloppy way.

It was not until Minister Zhao Zheng straightened up that they realized that, although there were factions within the Zhao Mansion, they were ultimately one family and not mortal enemies.

The Prince's Tutor and the Minister of Works had never expressed who was the elder and who was the younger between them.

In this case, all of Taisun Fu’s previous actions can be explained.

There is no need for elders to be polite to younger people.

Even in the court, no one dared to say anything. If they moved out, people in the world would speak well of the Zhao Mansion.

At the same time, they also came to another terrible conclusion...

Crown Prince Zhu Biao, who was on the high platform, felt the hidden gazes from every corner of the court, and he felt very bad...

Father! You are right! We really shouldn't have allowed the Zhao family's patrol officers to return to the capital!

I should have thought that the current Minister Zhao is the junior of the former Prime Minister, so the one who left the palace and entered the court to serve as an official before must be even younger! No wonder the former Prime Minister wanted to send away the eighteen riders!

The Grand Tutor had already stood at the side of the palace, indicating that he would no longer participate in court affairs.

But at this moment, just standing in this Fengtian Hall, he made everyone feel pressured.

The young eunuch Wang Ji, who had learned a lot from Wang Banzhen, quickly whispered a reminder to Crown Prince Zhu Biao, who then showed a look of satisfaction on his face.

Soon, several eunuchs brought a chair.

"Grandmaster is feeling unwell..."

A few officials standing on the margins felt envious when they heard what the young eunuchs said.

In the center of the court, Ma Jia, the Minister of Works, also began his own explanation.

"My dear minister, please tell me quickly, what kind of important weapon is this iron bi developed by the Ministry of Industry? What is its function?"

Seeing this, Crown Prince Zhu Biao could only force himself to shift his attention to the hands of Minister Zhao Zheng Ma Jia.

So does everyone else.

People in the court have different attitudes towards the Zhao Mansion.

But there is only one attitude towards the things that the Zhao family took out.

Everyone stared at the iron wall that Zhao Zheng took out from his arms, their eyes fixed on it, and their breathing even quickened uncontrollably. They couldn't wait for Zhao Zheng to tell them how to use it so that they could put it in their pockets directly.

"Your Highness! This thing may not be an iron wall, but it is indeed a heavy weapon! Congratulations to Your Highness! Congratulations to the dynasty! The problem of sealing the bellows rod of the steam engine cylinder has now been solved, which can be called the most perfect solution in this era!"

"Could you please explain it more clearly, my dear?"

Crown Prince Zhu Biao was indeed confused about the technical issues. He did not understand the solution to the steam engine sealing and why another upgrade was needed after the previous upgrade.

But he knew one thing, that what Zhao Zheng chose to take out at this time must be useful, very useful! And according to the plan Zhao Zheng had promised him before, the money could be earned back immediately!

So this question was actually addressed to the court officials:

The money will not be wasted in Zhao Zheng's hands. Look at you again?

"Your Highness, please look at this!"

Zhao Zheng naturally understood, and he skillfully disassembled the packing box in his hand. Wang Zheng took over the disassembled parts, and only a small black ring was left in his hand.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao took a look and didn't understand, but nodded.

The ministers around who could get closer moved closer, those who could stretch their necks did so, and then began to scratch their heads.

"Minister Zhao, what is this?"

In the end, it was the Minister of Revenue, Lu Shang, who calmed down first.

"Rubber ring! A rubber ring that can be pulled and ripped, and is wear-resistant, heat-resistant, and cold-resistant!"

"With this, the steam engine can be spread all over the world in no time!"

"Congratulations to Your Highness!"

During this period, the Minister of Works Wang Zheng had handed over the specific instructions to the Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao finally understood the huge information hidden in Zhao Zheng's brief explanation.

For all the civil and military officials in the court, they also heard the words they wanted to hear most.

The steam engine is about to be lowered!

They don’t understand the definition of productivity, but the underlying logic of everything they do is all linked to the competition for productivity resources.

How could the armies of the kings march west so quickly? Why did the warships needed by the King of Yan take months to arrive? The imperial farm was originally a farm, so how could it be sold to beggars in just a few years?

Everyone knows that this is because of the Zhao Mansion and the steam engine.

So they have been drooling over the steam engine for a long time, but they were troubled by the fact that although the superiors kept talking about decentralization, they never gave in.

After so long, they had become discouraged and used steam engines to produce salt and iron.

But who knows that now that he has let go, he must get it!

"Your Highness! I think the steam engines should be allocated first to government offices at all levels to increase manpower, and then to the people!"

If you can get it directly and legitimately, then the fewer detours there are, the better.

The atmosphere in the court began to become harmonious.

But harmony won’t last long.

"Your Highness! I think the area north of the Zhuo River is most in need of manpower, so the decentralization of steam engines should be given top priority!"

"Your Highness! If the area south of Qingjiang can get more quotas, then we will be able to give more back to the court in the future. You should give it more consideration!"

Court officials are divided into factions, and factions are divided into regional subdivisions.

So the noise started again in the hall.

But Crown Prince Zhu Biao still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, because he was confident because of the black rubber ring on Zhao Zheng's hand and the detailed explanation presented by Wang Zheng.

He just smiled at His Highness, and saw everyone blushing.

This feels so good.

"My dear ministers! The court is also short of manpower now, so the quota issued by the Ministry of Works should first meet the needs of the court. If there is any surplus, we can consider the local area. What do you think?"

Upon hearing Crown Prince Zhu Biao's words, the court suddenly fell silent, and everyone put away their burning gazes.
