Xiao Guizi then got up, rowing while telling the story of Huangfu Ying being taken away...

Although I don’t know who took Huangfu Ying away, it doesn’t matter.

Ji Jing was too lazy to think about it again.

As soon as the ship got ashore, Ji Jing called a carriage to return to the palace.

As for the situation at the scene, the secret guards will deal with the aftermath.

When he returned to the palace, Ji Jing took a hot bath and had another meal.

It was already dark, so naturally it was not considered going out for a walk.

Anyway, there is only 100 task points left, and you can get through it when you go out tomorrow.

The next day, it was noon, and Ji Jing got up lazily. After breakfast, he quietly left the palace with Xiao Guizi.

By the time he came back, the task point had reached its upper limit.

And the source of the 100 mission points came from his wise decision last time.

That is not to punish those playboys. Another playboy hit his gun, pretending to be a force and getting the task point.

Cool!

In the Prime Minister's Office, the Minister of Rites knelt in front of Fan Zhongyan and cried loudly, begging Fan Zhongyan to save him.

After hearing the cry of the Minister of Rites, Fan Zhongyan knew what was going on.

The lord is so naughty!!

Fan Zhongyan, who already has experience in handling the matter, said directly: "The treasury has been empty recently. You have made some contributions to the court and also apologized to Your Majesty. With Your Majesty's kindness, you should spare you."

"Thank you for your advice from the Prime Minister, I am grateful!" The Minister of Rites kneeled down with gratitude.

With the departure of the Minister of Rites, Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but sigh that the lord was really a god!

This move without punishment not only enriches the national treasury, but also allows civil and military officials to restrain their children.

And those playboys who lost all their property at home did not dare to be arrogant, and they wished they could clamp their tails to be human.

If you really do evil again and are touched by the emperor, you will have to drink the northwest wind from now on.

If severe punishment is used directly, although it can intimidate all civil and military officials, it will have endless troubles.

Once a company commits a crime, the first thing that comes to mind is not to accept the punishment, but to try every means to avoid punishment. Even taking risks, it is possible to treason!

Or secretly use conspiracies and frame innocent people.

Moreover, the court also needs to spend manpower to deal with these matters.

The final result is no benefit to civil and military officials and the court.

But the lord's current "imprisonment" perfectly solves the incident of the playboy doing evil.

After all, no one will think that they have too much money.

Another point is that after all, they are at the foot of the emperor. These playboys do evil on weekdays, but they dare not openly kill and set fire.

Simply put, they committed minor crimes, and they also trigger national laws, which should not affect their families.

The lord's approach fully demonstrates the monarch's kindness, helps to unite the people and solves the problem.

That's why Fan Zhongyan felt this emotion.

In the palace, the Palace of Heart-Healing.

Ji Jing looked at the drawings in his hand and frowned slightly.

Can anyone really design the Great Zhou?

Ji Jing was holding a drawing of the "steam engine and sea boat drawing".

After the task point broke through the upper limit, the lottery was drawn in addition to the "Dragon Li Dan", and the other one was the "Steam Engine Sea Ship Map".

Although the working principle of the "steam engine and sea ship" is explained in detail, everything is included in the construction of components, assembly, etc.

But it is still the world of the handicraft era, can steam engines be made?

This is not Ji Jing’s suspicion, but there are no industrial products in this era, and it is too difficult to build a steam ship without any foundation.

"Zhou Yang, the Minister of Rites, asked to see Your Majesty!" A report came from outside the Yangxin Palace.

"Xuan." Ji Jing said casually.

He naturally knew what Zhou Yang, the Minister of Rites, came to him!

"The criminal Zhou Yang bowed to Your Majesty! Long live my emperor!"

Zhou Yang kowtowed while kowtowing.

"Let's go flat."

"Your Majesty, I dare not blame me." Zhou Yang, the Minister of Rites, said quickly, "I am here to apologize."

"I know what you mean. Those who don't know will not be guilty. This matter will be revealed." Ji Jing glanced at Zhou Yang and said slowly.

"Thank you Your Majesty!" Zhou Yang was immediately overjoyed.

"Long live my emperor!!"

Although I feel sorry for money, it is nothing compared to His Majesty's kindness.

Moreover, the one who made the mistake was his son. What complaints would His Majesty have if he could let them go like this?

"A wise king!"

Zhou Yang, who walked out of the Palace of Peace of Heart, looked back and vowed in his heart to do his job well, cooperate with His Majesty, and create a prosperous country of etiquette!

"Xiao Guizi, send someone to the Imperial Service and ask Cao Yu to come to the palace. I have something to do to find him." Ji Jing explained to Xiao Guizi.

Ji Jing decided to hand over the "steam engine and sea ship map" to Cao Yu and asked him to find someone to create it.

It is naturally the best to build it. If there is a steel sea ship, if there is a naval battle in the future, it will be like a weapon of war.

After a stick of incense, Cao Yu hurried into the Yangxin Palace.

"Cao Yu pays homage to the lord." Cao Yu knelt on one knee and saluted.

"Get up, take a look at this."

Ji Jing handed over the "Steam Engine Sea Ship Map" to Xiao Guizi, and Xiao Guizi handed it to Cao Yu.

At first glance, Cao Yu didn't know what it was.

But after looking closely, you will know that this is a warship. However, the method of building is very strange. It is actually made of cold iron, and the power is made of what steam engine is used.

After Cao Yu carefully looked at it, he asked suspiciously: "Lord, can this work? Will the iron sink after getting into the water?"

It is common sense that iron sinks when it gets into the water, and basically everyone knows it.

There is no ship just made of steel.

"As long as the design is reasonable, the iron will float in the water." Ji Jing explained with a smile: "There is no problem with everything on the drawings. The problem is whether it can be created."

Since the lord said it was OK, then it was OK.

However, it is really a big problem to be created. I have basically never seen the parts on the picture, and the shape is not easy to shape.

"This kind of steamship is a powerful weapon for naval battles. Although there is no naval battle now, we also need to prepare for it."

"The manufacturing of steamships will be handed over to you, and the fees will be collected directly from the treasury."

"As for time, I didn't ask for it, one or two years, three or five years to be able to Chengdu."

Ji Jing looked at Cao Yu and said slowly, "If you encounter any problems during the manufacturing process, come and find me at any time."

"I will definitely live up to my lord's high expectations!" Cao Yu's eyes were filled with firm eyes and he made a solemn promise.

"Well, the shipbuilding matter must be kept confidential. Please find someone to copy the drawings, and each person is responsible for a part or part." Ji Jing explained again.

This approach not only ensures that the drawings and materials will not be leaked, but also has expertise in the industry, making it easier to manufacture steamships.

"promise!"

"Prepare for another one and go to Dajin tomorrow."

"promise!"

Looking at the departure of Cao Yu, Ji Jing rubbed his temples.

Although he had no intention of becoming an emperor, he seemed to be getting further and further on the road to the emperor...
Chapter completed!
