After the father of the subjugated country secretly read my heart, he became angry.

"Liu Leonnian developed a thermos flask, and the water was not completely cold for several hours."

The Minister of Industry, in the Imperial Study Room, cried to Xiao Yunzhou.

"Your Majesty, is this thermos flask a major project that contributes to the country as you mentioned before?"

"Is Liu Leung Nian meritorious?"

"Is Liu Leonnian from the Ministry of Industry?"

"This is a project of my Ministry of Industry!"

Xiao Yunzhou was left speechless after being questioned four times by Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

He didn't even react, "Thermos flask? Where is it? Bring it to me and take a look."

[Ah thermos bottle, is it the one I thought of? 】

Xiao Chuchu was surprised in the side room.

But immediately, the angry voice of the Minister of Civil Affairs resounded throughout the imperial study, taking away Xiao Chuchu's inner voice.

"Why don't Chen Shangshu tell me how Liu Leonian invented this thermos flask!?"

"The Ministry of Works is really shameless and want to take the credit from my Ministry of Civil Affairs."

Not only Xiao Yunzhou was surprised, but Xiao Chuchu was also curious.

What talents does the Ministry of Personnel have who are specialized in technology?

I don’t think I’ve heard of it.

"Your Majesty, Liu Runnian invented this thing all because of our brother Wenchang from the Ministry of Personnel. He told his son a few days ago that he felt that the cold weather was freezing to the bone when drinking water, and he was too lazy to get up at night to burn it." The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel looked at Xiao Yunzhou.

Xiao Yunzhou: "...ah."

Liu Wenchang, Concubine Liu's father, was so lazy, ahem, so inspiring to Liu Runnian.

"Bah! You just said one sentence and it's all the credit of your officials? You officials are so shameless!"

Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was so angry that his chest heaved.

"The emperor asked us to do government affairs. Could it be that all government affairs in the world are due to the emperor?"

"Bah, why are you so shameless——"

Xiao Yunzhou: "...?" Huh?

【…】

Xiao Chuchu was stunned.

After a while, laughter came from her heart.

"Ahem, your Majesty, I didn't mean what you meant. I was talking about the people in the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry realized that he had kept his mouth shut in his excitement.

Xiao Yunzhou's eyebrows twitched, "If you have something to say, don't talk about anything else."

"Your Majesty, naturally our Ministry of Personnel is not as arrogant as the Ministry of Industry," the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel shouted, "If Brother Wenchang hadn't been in the Ministry of Personnel and inspected the officials in the capital a few days ago, he heard the story of an official from the Ministry of Punishment saying that he had imprisoned a liar who made alchemy. Liu Leonnian couldn't think of a way to use mercury to coat the inside of the bottle to keep it warm!"

【! Damn it. 】

Xiao Chuchu was so pleasantly surprised, [Did you really get the mercury out? 】

"The alchemy swindler had a bottle that was accidentally stained with mercury. He found that when the elixir was put into it, the warmth remained for a long time, so he used this elixir bottle to store warm elixirs all year round to defraud people of their money."

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel wiped away tears when he talked about it, "This is something we, Brother Wenchang of the Ministry of Personnel, only found out after we carefully evaluated the officials of the Ministry of Justice one by one and checked their daily paperwork."

"Brother Wenchang and his son Liu Runnian talked about this, and that's why we got the thermos water bottle from the Ministry of Industry today!"

"Why is there no credit for the work of our Ministry of Civil Affairs? What do you think, Your Majesty?" The Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs glared at the Minister of the Ministry of Works.

Xiao Yunzhou was so speechless that he forgot to speak.

Xiao Chuchu also thought of it instantly, [Great, mercury was first derived from alchemy, and was extracted from cinnabar by Taoist priests. 】

[Ouch, the dead chemical knowledge attacked me again. 】

[Wow, speaking of which, the emperor’s father also loved eating elixirs. How could I forget? The reason why it is easy to die after taking pills is because of these heavy metal substances such as mercury. 】

Xiao Yunzhou's face froze.

He knew now that Dan couldn't eat it.

This thermal insulation thing is made of mercury extracted from the elixir. As expected, this elixir cannot be eaten.

If you eat someone, you will definitely eat it. It will always be the same temperature!

Xiao Yunzhou coughed slightly in fear and quickly raised his hand, "Then this thermos bottle will be considered a joint contribution of the Works Department and the Staff Department."

"No, Your Majesty!"

"no!"

The two ministers stared at each other.

Xiao Yunzhou was speechless, "What does it have to do with you? It is the work of the Liu family and his son."

"But Your Majesty, Liu Wenchang said that he dare not take credit for this thermos bottle!"

"Your Majesty, Liu Runnian also said that he does not take credit!"

Xiao Yunzhou was startled, "They don't recognize the credit?"

It's strange. I've only heard of ministers pretending to claim credit, but I've never heard of ministers not claiming credit and pushing it to others.

Xiao Yunzhou was greatly moved.

The Liu family and his son made him, the emperor, look at him with admiration again.

"Aren't you ashamed?" Xiao Yunzhou thought, and looked at the two ministers from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Officials who were fighting, "A father and son who have made meritorious deeds don't want credit, but you guys have their heads broken."

"I have nothing to do with you at all, I am ashamed of you!"

"Learn more from the Liu family's noble character and integrity!"

"..."

The two ministers coughed slightly, their faces feeling a little hot.

The more Xiao Yunzhou talked, the more he felt that the Liu family was good, "If everyone in the world were like the Liu family and his son, who only do things and don't think about asking for rewards or promotions, then there would be no corrupt officials! I can sleep peacefully!"

In the side room next door, Liu Channiang was holding Xiao Chuchu, and her ears gradually turned red.

She knows her own situation.

Dad, brother, how can you be so upright and upright without taking credit?

It wasn’t because of the thermos bottle, it was Xiao Gege’s inner voice that told them.

How old are they? How dare they compete with children for credit?

"Ahem, Your Majesty, it's not like Liu Leung Nian didn't ask for a reward. He wanted to enter the palace to see his niece, the noble Sangege. He developed a kind of glazed gold-dyed cloth and dedicated it to little Princess."

"Well, Brother Wenchang is also asking for a reward, Your Majesty. He wants to ask you for a pendant consecrated by a senior monk from Qiu Shan Temple and give it to Sangege."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Official Affairs said this, and his face felt a little hot.

"Look, look, father and son only think about their children's things."

"You won't even ask me for a penny reward!"

Xiao Yunzhou was moved.

It was not in vain that little fairy Gegetuo was born into the Liu family!

In the next room, Xiao Chuchu was very happy to hear, [In addition to the thermos bottle, I actually have gifts, ah, I'm so happy, I also like my grandfather and uncle so much~ I miss them, eh~]

Xiao Yunzhou smiled and said, "The credit for this should be given to both of them, half of each person."

The dispute between the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Personnel has been settled.

Then came the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs, who were quarreling with each other...

"Your Majesty, this kind of bottle that keeps you warm in winter can be rewarded to meritorious sergeants and outstanding generals!"

"You are going to inspect the Xishan Military Camp soon. You will send them along with your down jacket and boiled water instant noodles to express your condolences to the sergeant."

The Minister of War suggested this.

Xiao Yunzhou's eyes lit up as expected.

"General, do you really want to betray the Khan? I'm afraid the King of Chu is not a good person."

In the dead of night, in the Jingguo Fan Hall, Duoti was discussing with the counselors around him.

After listening to the counselor's advice, Duoti was silent for a long time and sighed.

"I just want my cavalry to receive the best treatment from the warriors in the world."

"The Khan can't give it to me, but the King of Chu can."

In recent years, Duoti has received many private gifts from the King of Chu in order to benefit his cavalry and provide them with rice and food so that they would not go hungry in the winter.

"I only know that the prairie warriors who put their heads in their belts and serve the king without fear of life and death deserve the best!"

"Whoever can give the best to me and my brothers is my Lord of Dorti!"

Jingguo Palace, in the Imperial Study Room.

Xiao Yunzhou laid his hand on Jiang Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs and said, "The first batch of thermos bottles produced will be used as rewards for the elite soldiers of the Xishan Military Camp this time."

"The rest will be given to the Ministry of Finance."

"Mr. Fucha Ge, Mr. Shen Miange, you guys draft an article. I want to ask Sangda to leave a few prairie warriors to exchange training on horseback and archery in Jingguo."

"Tentatively, let's stay for half a year and help our Jingguo train its troops!"

"I also sent two imperial doctors to the grasslands to teach the method of vaccination in exchange."
