After the bridge was completed, many officials from the Ministry of Industry immediately flew up and inspected the river embankment. Qin Mu saw many people holding drills and inserting drills several feet long into the embankment on the bank of the river. On, insert one every hundred feet.
There was one person standing next to the braziers, and someone stood a big bell in the middle of the river. When a loud bell sounded, the braziers also vibrated, and the people next to the braziers listened to the trill from the braziers.
"What are they doing?" Qin Mu couldn't help wondering.
Ling Yuxiu walked to his side and said: "You don't know about that. At the beginning, the Tu River often flooded, and the National Teacher ordered the minister of the Ministry of Industry to come and take care of it. The minister of the Ministry of Industry spent an unknown amount of money. The emperor was very angry, so he ordered it Ask him why he spent so much money and where did he spend it. The minister of the Ministry of Industry said that he buried a black copper wall on both sides of the Tujiang River. It is thousands of miles long. The black copper wall is covered with rune imprints. When checking whether there are cracks in the embankment or whether the embankment is washed thin by water, you can ring the copper bell. The sound of the bell stimulates the rune imprints on the black copper wall, allowing The resonant sound from the black copper wall uses the sound waves to judge the cracks and thickness of the river embankment."
Qin Mu looked at the busy Hall Master of Tiangong, and praised: "What a good idea."
Si Yunxiang stepped forward and said, "The emperor almost killed his head because he spent too much money."
Ling Yuxiu glanced at her, and said: "The Minister of the Ministry of Industry spends too much money. Over the years, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry has made building boats that fly in the sky, painting boats that swim in the water, land boats that run on the ground, flywheel vehicles, and mines. Smelters, military workshops and supervisory factories in various places, renovation of various city buildings, sewers in the city, road laying, siege vehicles, Dazhai at the border, and machinery manufacturing. I was not born at that time, and then I heard that my second brother Said that the minister of the Ministry of Industry spent money in those years, so that the father and the princes, princes, concubines, and queens in the palace tightened their belts. send."
Si Yunxiang smiled and said, "What happened next?"
Ling Yuxiu sighed: "Later, the smelter promoted and sold all kinds of buildings and boats to merchants, and the supervisory factory continued to produce. Within two years, the national treasury was full, and several treasury money were made. Therefore, the emperor rejoiced and said Fortunately, he was not killed. The Ministry of Industry spends the most money. Apart from the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he is also the doctor of the Ministry of Water Affairs. He builds water conservancy transportation in various places, such as water diversion vehicles, flood discharge lakes, various dams and bridges, canals, flowers, etc. Money is more than just flowing water, but it also makes people rich.”
Si Yunxiang blinked her eyes, and said: "It seems that the servants of the Ministry of Industry and the doctor spend money, what does the Minister of the Ministry of Industry do? It seems that everything is done by the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Shan Youxin, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry has not done anything thing."
Ling Yuxiu also blinked: "The Minister of the Ministry of Industry supervises their spending."
Si Yunxiang smiled slightly and said, "I'm afraid that the minister of the Ministry of Industry was sent by the emperor to watch them. After all, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and these Langzhong and Yuanwailang are all members of the Tiansheng Sect. The emperor knows that they belong to the Tiansheng Sect." The hall master, Xiangzhu, is worried about them."
Ling Yuxiu's eyes fell on her: "Junior Sister Yunxiang seems to be very interested in Tiansheng Sect."
Si Yunxiang smiled sweetly and said: "Little sister is not talented, she is a saint of the Heavenly Sacred Church, so naturally she should be more concerned. Master Qin is our master and saint, and he is also very concerned about this aspect. As a saint, I ask The issue of the princess is also the concern of the leader."
The second girl stared wide-eyed.
Qin Mu ignored the two girls, looked into the distance, and saw the officials of the Tuntian Division of the Water Department inspecting the water conservancy of the farmland, and the Yubu Division inspecting the fruits, trees and vegetables, so he walked forward.
"Master, when the crops are green and yellow, there will probably be pests."
Yuanwailang of Yubu Division is the incense owner of the farm hall. He picked up and down in the soil, inspected it, picked out some insect eggs, and said to Qin Mu: "Although the snowstorm in winter is very cold, the eggs of these pests will not freeze to death. After three to five days, the weather will be warmer, and the eggs will hatch and become worms. In winter, the vegetation will be cut down and burned by the victims, and the worms will eat the crops if they have nothing to eat. It is necessary to take precautions and prevent pests in advance. Kill them when they are born."
Qin Mu asked: "Master Xiang, how to prevent insect disasters?"
"Let sword masters garrison the farmland, or spell masters perform acupuncture, or let masters who refine Gu worms come and release worms to eat pests."
Wailang, a member of the Yu Department, stood up, clapped his hands, his body and hands were covered with mud, and said: "Disciples from the Sword Hall, the Fa Hall, and the Gu Hall can all come out to practice."
Qin Mu nodded, and asked Fan Yunxiao to come over, and said, "Brother Fan, pass on my order to send more than ten disciples from each of the Sword Hall, Fa Hall, and Gu Hall to come here."
Fan Yunxiao summoned a bandit and ordered him to inform.
The Department of Water is rectifying water conservancy, clearing out the silt accumulated in the waterways, and re-planning the waterways to facilitate irrigation of farmland.
On the other side, the officials of the Tuntian Division were measuring the land, and took out a ruler for measuring the sky. With vitality, the ruler unfolded from the folded state, and it became longer and longer, and the measurement scale appeared on the ruler. On the side, there was another grand scholar recording the numbers, and his vitality was transformed into heterogeneous abacus, making a crackling noise.
The minister of the Ministry of Industry took the people of the Ministry of Industry to fly into the air, stood in the air and overlooked the road conditions in various parts of Jiazhou, recorded the damaged areas of the road, and then went to repair the road.
"Shan Youxin is a capable person!"
Qin Mu really admired in his heart that the officials of the Yankang Ministry of Industry handled things in an orderly manner, which really benefited the country and the people.
City Lord's Mansion, Jiazhou Governor reported the situation in Jiazhou, Lingyushu listened to it all night, and then called the master book to check various records, and was so busy that he didn't sleep all night.
On the second day, both Ling Yushu and the governor of Jiazhou were a little tired. Just after they walked out of the city lord's mansion, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Qin Mu and others had already arrived outside the city lord's mansion. The minister of the Ministry of Industry, Shan Youxin, brought a few scrolls The file was presented, and said: "Your Highness, the problem of Jiazhou's water conservancy, transportation, vegetables and fruits has been dealt with properly, and only the Tuntian Division needs to be dealt with by Your Highness."
Ling Yushu was surprised, and lost his voice: "So fast?"
Shan You said: "After reading it, His Highness, you can prepare to kill someone."
Lingyu wrote solemnly: "Is the land annexation so powerful?"
Shan Youxin nodded.
Ling Yushu called the governor of Jiazhou, put the dossier in his hand, and his face sank: "Don't go to sleep, neither do Gu, you and Gu will watch together! While watching, arresting people and killing people at the same time, what should I do?" Catch whoever deserves to be killed! In extraordinary times, severe punishments should be used!"
The governor of Jiazhou's face was ashen.
Qin Mu called Shen Wanyun and the others, and said, "Your job is here. Later, you and the officials will arrest people together."
Shen Wanyun said dully: "Master, didn't you say that there is no danger? Those who can annex land in troubled times are all local tyrants, and the aristocratic families in these places are also very powerful!"
Qin Mu said with a smile: "You are the masters of the Taiyuan Academy, how can you say that you are also the elite of the country, and you are still afraid of local tyrants?"
Wei Yong, Yue Qinghong and others are eager to try.
Not long after, the crown prince and the governor issued an order to arrest them. Wei Yong and others immediately followed the officers and soldiers and returned at noon. They were covered in blood, obviously having experienced several fierce battles.
It took Ling Yushu two days to deal with the matter of Jiazhou. He continued eastward and treated the Tujiang River along the way. Today he came to Hezhou. It not only connects the national ports, but also trades with other countries, and even has contacts with overseas countries.
Everyone was already familiar with the road, and when they came to Hezhou, they investigated independently, without the order of the minister of the Ministry of Industry. After dealing with the affairs of Hezhou, Ling Yushu saw that everyone was really tired, and said: "Everyone has worked hard, so I might as well rest in Hezhou for a few days and then set off."
The crowd cheered.
Qin Mu was dragged by Ling Yuxiu to go shopping, and said: "Hezhou has developed commerce and trade, and there are many novelties from foreign countries. Let's go shopping in the market!"
"I'll go as well!"
Si Yunxiang followed, Ling Yuxiu glanced at her, and said in her heart: "Fox spirit!"
"Xiao Lang hoof..." Si Yunxiang said with a smile on her face.
The eyes of the two women were staggered, and Qin Mu didn't realize that there were indeed many strange things in the market in Hezhou, but it was not these strange goods that attracted him, but foreigners.
He saw many foreigners in strange clothes, who looked different from Yankang people, and some were one-eyed. Unlike other people who had two symmetrical eyes, they had a single eye between their eyebrows and a long vertical one. .
There are also four-armed people and two-faced people.
He also saw a few girls from the Sea Clan, all dressed up beautifully, but with octopus-like eight legs, and they walked swiftly. Looking closely, they had gills beside their ears.
"They came up from the sea."
Si Yunxiang leaned closer to Qin Mu's ear and whispered, "It's a merchant from the Sea Clan. I heard that they built cities and countries on the bottom of the sea."
Qin Mu was surprised, and the things the Hai Clan sold were also very strange. He stopped in front of a blue coral tree, and the coral tree emitted water vapor automatically, wrapping itself in it like a water ball, and there was a three-inch-sized girl in the water vapor Swimming around on a seahorse, singing songs of unknown meaning.
Then several girls riding seahorses came down from the tree, and some men sang and danced around the coral tree in the water.
This coral tree actually has a small tribe.
Si Yunxiang and Ling Yuxiu were also fascinated by watching it. At this moment, a tall girl in a dark green long dress came forward, looked at the blue coral tree, and couldn't help but praise: "It's really a strange species, Xiaohong, what do you think is it? no?"
Qin Mu turned his head, and saw that the girl had a red jadeite earring hanging on the suet-like earlobe. The earring suddenly stretched out, but it was a little red snake, which opened its mouth and hissed at Qin Mu, spitting snake letters.
"Dragon Jiaonan!"
Qin Mu was startled, and was about to draw his sword when Long Jiaonan smiled and said, "Master Qin, it's best not to move, Xiao Hong is a seven-star realm, and he can eat all three of you with just one mouthful. Master, my father want to see you."
Qin Mu's scalp was numb, and he said in a deep voice, "The old Dragon King is here too?"
Long Jiaonan chuckled and said: "My father is called the Dragon King, so how can he have no influence in Hezhou? But thanks to the leader, I was exterminated to control the Dragon Gate, so my father and I had to hide in the East Sea!"
Si Yunxiang blinked her eyes, and said happily: "Congratulations, Sister Long, for capturing the Heavenly Demon Sect Leader and the Sixth Princess of Yankang. I have nothing to do here, so I'll go first!"
Long Jiaonan sneered, and the little red snake suddenly swam up to Si Yunxiang's neck, stretched out the snake letter and licked Si Yunxiang's neck: "The eldest lady of the Si family, the saint of the Demon Sect, is no more valuable than the sixth princess of Yankang." It's inferior. Do you think I haven't checked you?"
