Chapter 107 The Emperor's Southern Tour, the Canal
Qin Su took Shen Yi's hand, "Since this thing appears, it is inevitable. It is God's will that we are lucky enough to get this thing in advance. Whether or not people will die in the future depends on a single thought."
Shen Yi only thought for a moment, since this thing was introduced from foreign barbarians, presumably the foreign barbarians have already used it extensively, if they still blindly stand still, they may only be beaten when facing the barbarians.
After saying this, everyone picked up guns of different shapes. Yu Chen had already practiced this many times, and it was similar to archery, but it was easy to learn.
Yi Xian specially researched a smaller one, which is more flexible and convenient, especially for him to use it more smoothly, and it can also be played more accurately.
Jin Shaoyun only saw this thing today, so he is naturally not as good as the previous few people, but it is also passable.
Shen Yi stood by and watched, Qin Su picked up another small gun, put it into Shen Yi's hand, and introduced how to use it in detail.
"I……"
Shen Yi hesitated.
"This one is much simpler, and once you get used to it, you can keep it with you for self-defense."
When Qin Su saw the one that Yi Xian was researching, he moved his mind. The ordinary bow and arrow Shen Yi must not be able to pull it, and it is not convenient to carry it with him. Now this thing called a gun appeared at the right time.
Qin Su taught Shen Yi by the side, and after two or three strokes, he was already familiar with it.
"Although this thing is good, there is no way to do it. It has extremely high requirements for iron smelting and craftsmanship. Only Mr. Yi can make it. Those made by others are not only unusable, but even after filling with gunpowder, there is a danger of bursting." , relying on Mr. Yi alone, I am afraid that it will be a year of the monkey."
Qin Su looked at the exquisite objects in his hands. At the beginning, Yi Xian had to spend a lot of time before he realized the requirement for iron quality. Fortunately, when he was working as a mechanism puppet, he had to touch these things, so he did it. come out.
Shen Yi shook the things in his hand, looked at Qin Su, "Can Zixun disassemble it for me to see?"
Qin Su nodded, and took it apart in twos and twos. There were all kinds of parts, large and small, twenty or thirty.
Shen Yi looked over one by one, and asked Qin Su to disassemble the two originals brought back from the former Jingguo and now Jingxian, and asked some questions beside Yi Xian.
"Young Master Yi, I don't know whether this is right or wrong, but I have seen movable type printing, all the words are ready, just need to be arranged in the correct order of the article, and then printed one by one, it is very convenient, and The seal is printed on the ooze, and the effect is the same. I wonder if every part of this gun is the same, can it be the same? You can see that the parts of these two are almost exactly the same. "
Shen Yi knew that it was impossible to make such an identical thing just by craftsman's handwork. Besides? Looking carefully, the texture on the surface of this part did not resemble the traces made by Yi Xian's handwork. There should be another way.
Yi Xian took those parts from Shen Yi's hands, thought about it carefully, and nodded, "Your Majesty is very true. If you can make a mold, then of course it will be? It's good, but I'm afraid it won't be so simple."
"That's all I said, whether it's feasible or not depends on Mr. Yi."
After Shen Yi finished talking to Yi Xian, he lowered his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Qin Su, "Zixun, where did you say this foreign barbarian came from? I want to see it."
Qin Su also thought about this question, "Even if we don't go to them, they will come to us sooner or later. Since their people have already arrived in Jingguo, the next step is to contact Fuliang or come to Dayong. But it’s not that big of a difference, you can always see it.”
Shen Yi also felt the same way, "When the foreigners went to Yasukuni, they said they wanted to establish a trade channel. Zi Xun guessed, is it possible for them to trade this thing with others?"
Qin Su frowned slightly, which she did not expect, "If they go to Fuliang earlier, this matter will be difficult."
"It's better to go back and investigate. If people from foreign barbarians also came to Dayong back then and took away gunpowder and other things from Dayong, there must be records. After finding out where the barbarians came from, we will Then you can send people there, and if you really find them, you can also use the trade route to explore their bottom."
Shen Yi has already thought about it, no matter what time it is, knowing the enemy and the enemy is the only way to be victorious in all battles. It is not clear whether the opponent is an enemy or a friend, so it is better to prepare early, not to mention, the more business routes, the better.
Qin Su responded and ordered people to go back to the palace first, check the files, and find out these records.
After lunch, the two of them stayed in the barracks for a period of time. They waited until the sun set to the west before heading back to the palace.
Although the records were long ago, they could still be found. Based on the information found, Shen Yi immediately sent someone there.
Now that the matter of the draft is over, the day is getting hotter day by day. While Qin Su is busy with the New Deal, Shen Yi is also busy preparing for the summer resort.
"Anping!"
Shen Yi was reading the ledger in Yong'an Palace, when he heard Qin Su's voice approaching from far away, and then a figure flashed in.
"Why are you so happy?"
Shen Yi closed the ledger and looked over, and saw Qin Su walking in happily holding a letter.
"We don't have to go to the Mountain Resort, let's see what this is," Qin Su said while sitting next to Shen Yi, and opened the letter in his hand, "Master Li sent back the news that this year Jiangnan is a good year, Let me wait and see, and some time ago, during the spring flood, the river embankment was washed away. In order to dredge the river, Mr. Li diverted water from the Yuan River in Jingyuan County, and took advantage of the situation to pass another stream. This stock happened to be directly connected to Jingyuan County. Jiangnan County, after being widened three times, has formed a passable canal, and now it takes only three days to go all the way south."
Qin Su also received Li Yan's proposal to open the canal before, thinking that Li Yan should not be a person who wastes people's money and is greedy for merit, so he approved it with confidence, but he didn't want to give himself such a big surprise after a few months of hard work.
Shen Yi also stood up in shock, picked up the letter and read it carefully, it was really so, "I heard about it some time ago, and thought it was a rumor, but I didn't think it turned out to be true. In this way, it will be much more convenient to fly from north to south , not to mention going directly from the granary in the south to the edge of Gyeonggi... If it goes south, connects these rivers with canals, east, west, north, south, and within Dayong, the waterway will be unimpeded. In this way, great joy!"
Qin Su's eyes lit up, and he responded immediately, this waterway is much faster than the land one, if it can be opened up, it will be of great use.
"Okay, then the two of us will take a good look when we go to Jiangnan this time, and this time we go to Jiangnan, and when we come back, I still want to travel to the East China Sea and go north,? Go to Dongjun to have a look, Cui Jue also sent a letter, It is said that Jingxian County has been successfully merged into Dongjun County, and the naval training between the two places has begun to bear fruit, so we should go and have a look."
Qin Su went on to say that Cui Jue was the person recommended by Qin Su when Yu Chen attacked Jing County. Because of his great achievements and talents, he was willing to stay in the East China Sea, so Qin Su specially arranged to stay and train The naval division, assisting the governor of Dongjun County in coordinating the two places, has also made a lot of achievements in these days.
Shen Yi naturally responded with a smile, the world that Qin Su has conquered now should also be the place where she does business, and this trip happened to be a little bit of investigation.
The two reached an agreement, and Qin Su discussed the New Deal with Shen Yi again.
At the beginning of the implementation of the New Deal, there was naturally a lot of resistance, and there were many discussions among the people. Now that the New Deal has benefited the people, although they may not understand it, everyone knows that life is getting better and better. For Qin Su, who implemented the New Deal, also became more and more supportive.
Qin Su felt that the time was almost right now. Since Shen Yi was the one who first drew the prototype of the New Deal, now is the time to reward meritorious deeds.
The two of them had also discussed before, Shen Yi always excused himself under the pretense that the time had not come, and now this trip to the south, where the emperor and empress are traveling together, is just the right time.
Shen Yi originally wanted to shirk, but seeing Qin Su's persistent eyes, he also understood.
The marriage of the two women, at a time when people were criticizing them, would not have gone so smoothly if it hadn't been for Huaxi's destiny to be fulfilled.
And now even though Shen Yi is a queen, all kinds of gossips are constantly going on among the people, and Shen Yi is only regarded as a mascot, which is useless. This time going south, he must contact the common people. The difference between Qin Su and Shen Yi is certain. Some gossip may even reach Shen Yi's ears.
Qin Su's move is to solve the problem at the root. The new policy benefits the people, and the people are grateful. At this time, tell them who the real hero behind the scenes is, and it is the best time to push Shen Yi to the front.
Shen Yi knew it in his heart, so he didn't want to shirk it, "Zixun arranged it."
What Qin Su waited for was Shen Yi's words.
Naturally, it is too cold to stand alone, Qin Su wanted Shen Yi, who was always standing behind her, to stand with him, as she said to Shen Yi at the beginning, these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers should belong to them.
Qin Su has always acted vigorously and resolutely, saying that the wind is the rain, and after Shen Yi and Shen Yi made an agreement, Qin Su announced this time in the early morning of the next day, causing an uproar.
At this time, the civil bulletin that Shen Yi had issued earlier also played a great role, and the whole capital was almost boiling.
The content of the civil bulletin is not as cold and cold as the official ones, but more embellished and explained, more detailed, the ins and outs are as clear as telling a story, and it is more convincing.
Naturally, Qin Su and Shen Yi had heard about the commotion outside the palace, and under the various exaggerations of the folk notifications, it would not be a major problem.
Seeing that it was almost done, when the news began to spread to the surrounding counties, Qin Su announced the news of the southern tour for the first time.
This civil bulletin didn’t even need to be compiled by myself. The officials and literati who came out to flatter me at the first time had already written countless articles praising the meaning of this southern tour to the point of no limit. When Qin Su saw it, he thought it was outrageous.
"It's even more outrageous than the nonsense I made up."
Qin Su took a look, sneered, and looked at Wei Zikang who was standing in front of him, "Master Wei, let's see for yourself how frightened these adults are?"
The reason why the officials are so active this time is partly because the civil bulletin took the lead when they flattered the queen, and the civil bulletin became the royal public newspaper, which really made everyone jealous. Many treacherous ministers who took advantage of the implementation of the New Deal to fill their pockets or support family members to seize power and profit were found out, and people were panicked for a while.
"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty. I will definitely continue to work hard in the future."
Of course Wei Zikang could hear Qin Su's good words, and bowed his head, what he said was really in line with Qin Su's wishes.
The southern tour has been scheduled and will start today. Wei Zikang and other dozens of adults will accompany him. Yu Chen and Jin Shaoyun will be in charge of leading the guards.
First, they left Gyeonggi by land and arrived at Jingyuan County. They boarded the dragon boat that had been prepared and headed south all the way.
Qin Su and Shen Yi were sitting on the deck. They were dressed lightly and looked at the scene along the way. As far as they could see, the river was quiet and wide, and the water flow was steady. At a glance, there were many newly built piers waiting to sail. .
"What method did Master Li use to conjure up such a canal so quickly?"
Qin Su propped his head on his hands, the dragon boat was huge, and it was extremely stable on the water, and there were fresh melons and fruits on the table. Extraordinarily comfortable and leisurely.
But looking at this canal now, Qin Su couldn't believe that it could be built in a few months. Even if the corvee was increased and tens of thousands of people were forced to come to repair it day and night, it shouldn't be too late. will be so fast.
"I have seen that Mr. Li's move is very clever. He didn't expropriate a single person, but it was all done by the people spontaneously. Moreover, Mr. Li gave the people silver taels according to their work, including food, day and night. The young people in the surrounding counties The prime of life has come, and the rest of the elders, women and children, are busy with farming at home. The busy farming time is not long, but if you spare some time, those people will scramble to build the canal, which is much more useful than forced requisition. Because of the heavy taxation in the Jiangnan area, the people’s families are struggling, and no one wants to miss out on such a good opportunity, and some families even moved to build the canal just for the food.”
Ever since Shen Yi knew about this canal, he sent someone to send the news of the canal's construction. Now that he has finished reading it, he has to say that this Master Li is also a person who dares to do something. Such a method is wonderful.
Qin Su heard it, raised his eyebrows slightly, and waved the fan in his hand leisurely, "It's really a good idea. There are really a lot of talents around me."
Shen Yi laughed when he heard Qin Su's words, looking at her complacent look, her tail might be going to the sky.
"Aren't you afraid that if there are too many talents, someone will covet your throne one day?"
"If I'm afraid, I'm not Qin Su." Qin Su was not worried, and fed a lychee to Shen Yi. If the throne is pulled down, so what if I hand it over to that person?"
Qin Su has always had such confidence. In her world, the strong are the most important, and she has this confidence that she is the highest emperor in the world.
After getting rid of the complicated government affairs, Qin Su became energetic again in this vast world. Although the former youthful spirit had disappeared between his brows, there was more prestige of being in a high position and controlling the world.
Shen Yi looked at Qin Su, with a gentle smile on her face that she didn't even notice, this was her sweetheart, it was all that she saw in her heart at a glance, like a god descending into the world,
"Have the papers been approved yet?"
Shen Yi replied to Qin Su's words.
Immediately, Qin Su's expression became sluggish, he shrank back on the chair aggrievedly, peeled another lychee and stuffed it into Shen Yi's mouth, and described it to Shen Yi exaggeratedly, "It's nothing important, it's just trivial things that disturb people, shit Even the big things have to be written in the notebook, and it's written so...
It's so long, it hurts my eyes, and there are so many praises, and when I look back, I will ask Wei Zikang to find out these few moths who spend all day thinking about this, and send them to the countryside to farm and raise pigs . "
Shen Yi laughed when he heard it, and handed Qin Su a grape, "Earlier, the ministers were not active in the performance, so you wanted to reward them with big boards. This frightened the ministers to report everything quickly, but you were annoyed. Emperor, it's too difficult to serve."
As soon as Shen Yi ate the grapes, Qin Su waved his hand, "Eat the king's salary, share the king's worries, they should, if everyone is like Wei Zikang, Master Li and others, why should I make trouble?" them?"
"Stop complaining, go back and critique papers quickly, I'll go to see Huaxi, once I get on the boat, I'm so dizzy, I don't know if I'm all right now."
Shen Yi urged Qin Su to stand up himself.
Qin Su saw that being lazy was too much, so he stood up resignedly and walked back.
Huaxi has been recovering in recent days, and it seems as if that incident never happened before. Just in case of this southern tour, Qin Su still brought people with him, just in time to let Huaxi come to relax, but This heart hasn't broken yet, Huaxi is about to faint.
As soon as Qin Su returned to the study and approved two papers, Chishui came in from the outside, holding a letter in his hand, and walked in with a happy face, "Your Majesty, Qingji has sent you a letter."
Ever since Qingji, Jin Qiwu and the others went deep into Fuliang, using the method of alienation, they seldom sent back news, but every time they sent back, it was extremely crucial.
Qin Su cheered up, quickly took the letter, and opened it to read.
Looking at it, Qin Su's face became serious.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Chishui didn't know what was going on, but saw that Qin Su's face was not right, so he hurriedly asked.
"The old Fuliang Emperor has passed away, and Jin Lie will ascend the throne soon."
Qin Su said in a deep voice.
Is this news really bad? When Jin Lie was still the crown prince, he had already basically controlled Fuliang. If he ascended the throne now, it would be even more troublesome.
However, Qin Su also knew what was going on. In the previous life, Jin Lie would not inherit the throne until the old Fuliang Emperor died two or three years later, but in this life, because Qin Su was abducted first, Ascending to the throne one step earlier, and then aggressively implementing the New Deal, Jin Lie must have been unable to hold back seeing Dayong becoming stronger and stronger.
If he does not ascend the throne, Jin Lie will not be able to carry out the New Deal in Fuliang, and carry out drastic reforms like Qin Su's. In order to prevent Fuliang from falling too far behind Dayong, Jin Lie can only let her who has been reluctant to abdicate Father ascended to bliss early.
Although the old Fuliang Emperor's treatment of Jin Lie was slightly inferior to that of the Supreme Emperor's treatment of Qin Su, they were also extremely partial to each other. Otherwise, Jin Lie would not have the power to launch a war in Fuliang at will and overwhelm the sky with one hand.
It's a pity that the old Emperor Fuliang was so kind to Jin Lie. In the end, as long as he blocked Jin Lie's way, Jin Lie gave up without hesitation.
"Anyway, a peace treaty has been concluded. When Fuliang delivers the letter to Shengjing, let... Brother Liuhuang go there."
Qin Su thought for a while, ordered to go on, and read the letter Qingji handed back in detail.
Standing beside Qin Su, Chishui hesitated, "Your Majesty, can the sixth prince really be trusted?"
"What's the difference between being trustworthy and trustworthy? He'd better be safe, otherwise, he's just personally handing the knife into my hand, looking for his own death."
Of course, Qin Su had known for a long time that the sixth prince could not be a peaceful master, but she had already promised her father that she would never take the initiative to harm her siblings, so she always handed over opportunities to these siblings every time. Whether to live or not is their own choice.
Chishui understood Qin Su's meaning, so immediately? Ask more, arrange for someone to go back and prepare first.
After Chishui went out, Qin Su stretched his waist and put down the letter paper. Although Jin Lie's ascension to the throne was troublesome, Qingji's letter also said that Jin Lie had paid a lot for his forced ascension to the throne. It was brothers and sisters who killed five or six of them, and the killings became famous. Even among the common people, it has begun to spread quietly that it was Jin Lie who killed the king.
Jin Lie used brutal means to suppress these rumors, but the people didn't say anything, but their hearts became more frightened and they believed those rumors even more.
Qin Su thinks about it, this is something that Jin Lie can do. Think about it. In the bet, because Jin Lie missed a move, he lost the bet and the Yasukuni at that time, so he wanted to massacre the city and put the plague, and put countless people in the Yasukuni To the point of death, if such insane things can be done, what else can Jin Lie not do?
When Qin Su was dealing with government affairs here, Shen Yi had just found Huaxi who was lying drowsy in front of the window with his head resting on his head.
"Doctor Hua, are you alright?"
Hearing Shen Yi's voice, Huaxi barely moved her eyes, "I've used the medicine, it's almost over, Miss Shen, don't worry."
"Then the genius doctor of Hua, please rest quickly, wait for me? Ask someone to bring some green tea."
Seeing Huaxi's appearance, Shen Yi naturally didn't want to bother her too much, and didn't sit down.
"Miss Lao Chen..."
Huaxi replied weakly.
Coming out of the Huaxi room, just as Shen Yi was about to look for Qin Su, he heard a small conversation.
Asking the people behind him to walk lightly, Shen Yi stood at the corner and listened carefully.
"Is the medicine enough?"
"Don't worry, it's enough."
"Success or failure depends on one action. If it succeeds, it will be the time when the two of us will become prosperous."
"Don't worry, Mr. Wang, your daughter is so beautiful, even if you don't take medicine, she will be safe."
"I can't guarantee that, His Majesty's mind is very difficult to guess, moody..."
The two were still whispering, but Shen Yi had already brought someone back from the other side.
Cheng Yan and the others naturally listened, and kept looking at Shen Yi's face, but Shen Yi's expressionless face made them unable to guess their emotions.
"Your Majesty, do you want to inform Your Majesty first?"
Cheng Yan still couldn't help asking.
Shen Yi lowered his brows and smiled faintly, "No need, if your Majesty can easily fall for such a crude and base trick, it means that she really has thoughts about her beautiful daughter that day."
When Cheng Yan thought about Qin Su's perverted five senses and the ubiquitous shadow guards on the ship, she immediately understood, no? Talk too much, Qin Su can only ask for his own blessing.
The group went back to the room, Cheng Yan thought that Shen Yi really didn't care about it, but she saw Shen Yi came out in light clothes again.
"Come on, let's go and watch a good show with His Majesty."
Maybe it's really true that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black. After being by Qin Su's side for a long time, Shen Yi also developed a feeling that watching the excitement is not a big deal.
The author has something to say:
