Reborn in the Water Margin as emperor, built tanks to level the world

Not long after, a proverb that was very familiar to me in my previous life suddenly flashed into my mind:

"Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man!"

"As long as I can offer you a sky-high price for the artillery production camp and the Ministry of Industry, then there will be many smart people who will come forward to solve various problems."

"If in the future, whether it is the Ministry of Industry under Shen Kuo or the firearms casting camp under your command, Ling Zhen, if there are capable people and strangers who can come forward to help our Song Dynasty solve various problems."

"Then I will give you 10 taels of silver to reward the skilled craftsmen who solve many key problems."

"Of course, such a reward has a time limit, and that time limit cannot exceed two months at most."

As soon as Zhao Ji finished speaking, Ling Zhen and Shen Kuo, who were sitting on the left and right sides of Zhao Ji, couldn't help but look at each other.

In addition to shock, astonishment, and disbelief, there was also a hint of excitement on his face.

The first person to speak was Ling Zhen, who was not well-known in the Song Dynasty court:

"Do you really mean what the officials say?"

Zhao Ji grinned:

"Perhaps before this, when I said these words, I really didn't have any confidence in my heart."

"But it's different now."

"Since that day, hundreds of millions of silver taels have been confiscated from the residences of Cai Jing, Gao Qiu, Tong Guan and others."

"When I said these words, I felt much more confident."

"Here, I will confirm with my two dear friends without hesitation that the above-mentioned statements are true and reliable."

"Whether it's a minister or a craftsman under your two beloved ministers, of course that includes you two beloved ministers."

"If anyone can solve the problem of combining artillery and armored combat vehicles within two months."

"Then all 10 taels of silver will belong to that person."

"Of course, your Ministry of Industry has matters related to the manufacturing of rifles, but it cannot be stopped."

"If it can be produced as soon as possible and the test results are good, then the reward from me will be indispensable."

After Shen Kuo and Ling Zhen made it clear that everything Zhao Ji said was true, even their voices were several times more excited than before:

"Wei ministers must do their best to share the worries of the officials in this regard."

……

After more than ten days of bumpy journey, Hu Sanniang finally found the location of Zhao Yuannu's master.

But just when Hu Sanniang was filled with joy, she walked to the cave and wanted to tell Zhao Yuannu the news about Zhao Ji's place, but she found that Zhao Yuannu could not be found here anyway.

Whether it is in front of the spiritual tablets of senior sisters Zhao Yuannu in the back mountain, or in the cave where Zhao Yuannu lives alone.

Even in the cell where Zhao Ji was previously imprisoned, Hu Sanniang was not spared.

But no matter where Hu Sanniang looked at this time, there was no trace of Zhao Yuannu.

Originally, Hu Sanniang thought that she would not be able to easily earn these hundreds of taels of silver.

But it wasn't until now that she realized that she seemed to be thinking too much.

In the end, Nahu Sanniang was also driven to panic.

Not only did she search for him on the mountain, but she even mobilized hundreds of female guards under her command to accompany her to search around the area.

But after letting them search for a whole day, they could not find a single trace of Zhao Yuannu on the entire mountain.

Hu Sanniang was anxious in her heart and immediately returned to Hu's village.

He also took a carrier pigeon from there that was specifically responsible for delivering messages, and then guided his female guards to release it.

I want to use this method to inform Zhao Ji, who is still in the capital, about Zhao Yuannu's place.

Two days later, when Zhao Ji received the news from Hu Sanniang, he immediately couldn't sit still anymore.

If that Zhao Yuannu is not pregnant at this moment.

Maybe Zhao Ji can feel more at peace in his heart.

After all, with that girl's skills, even if she met an ordinary knight in the world, there would be nothing he could do to her.

But now?

That girl is already pregnant. If that's the case, why is she still running around with her big belly?

When Zhao Ji thought about this, he suddenly felt shocked.

Is it possible that that girl was kidnapped directly from the master's sect?

After all, when I wanted to ask her to return to Beijing with me, that girl was still very stubborn and insisted on staying there to accompany her senior sisters, and she could only leave after a hundred days.

If this is the case, how could he leave decisively because of ordinary things?

If this is really the case, then there is a high probability that the girl has encountered some major changes.

If not, how could Hu Sanniang and others have been searching there for a whole day, but still couldn't find a trace?

At this moment, Zhao Ji became more worried and scared the more he thought about it.

In the end, I was so upset that I couldn't even review the memorials placed on the Dragon Case.

When I think of all the mishaps that girl may encounter after this.

In Zhao Ji's heart, he felt extremely regretful.

No, I have to go there to see what happened to that girl.

Zhao Ji thought about this, picked up a piece of clothing from the hanger next to him, put it on his body, and hurried out of the study room.

But before he could take two steps, he saw a palace maid hurriedly walking in the distance.

When he saw Zhao Ji, he immediately came over with joy on his face:

"The official's house is at the residence of Empress Rong Hua. Let your servants come here to look for the official's house."

"Say that the matter there has been settled, just let the officials go directly."

The expression on Zhao Ji's face was suddenly stunned.

Unable to help himself, he muttered:

"Who is this Empress Ronghua?"

"Could it be..."

"Isn't she the eldest daughter of an old general?"

After hearing this, the palace maid nodded frequently:

"Exactly, exactly."

Zhao Ji frowned:

"Has the matter there been settled?"

"What's the matter?"

"Is it possible that Fanhua has already invited Xiaojin into the palace and had several drinks with her?"

"If this is really the case, if I go there this time, maybe I will be able to do good things."

"But now, I really can't escape here!"

"How can I be in the mood to taste other beauties when I have such an urgent matter?"

"You'd better go back to your mother-in-law quickly and tell her that I have an emergency here and can't keep the appointment."

"Let her wait for next time."

After Zhao Ji hurriedly said this, he walked quickly towards the direction of Kunning Palace.

When he met Liu Tanxin, Zhao Ji did not hesitate and immediately told Zhao Yuannu the possible crisis situation in that place.
