Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

After Chu Jun finished approving a memorial, Su Jin came up to exchange tea. He casually asked, "What time is it?" Su Jin changed the cold tea and served a new one, saying, "Your Majesty, it's the first hour of Xu." "

Chu Jun took a sip, and continued to approve the memorial, while Su Jin stood by.

After a few copies were approved, the ink in the inkstone was dry, and Chu Jun said, "Grind the ink for me."

"Yes." Su Jin put the fly whisk behind his waist, and stepped forward to grind ink.

Chu Jun glanced out the window and said, "But Xu Zheng?"

"Not yet, Your Majesty," Su Jin said, "It's just [-]:[-] o'clock. I will report it when Lord Tong comes outside. You don't have to worry."

Chu Jun was embarrassed: "You are not allowed to speculate on the holy will."

Su Jin bowed: "Observe the order."

Chu Jun glared at him, and continued to critique the memorial as if nothing had happened, but the memorial was stinky and long, piled up with a lot of gorgeous rhetoric, not to mention uncommon allusions, and forcibly paired, with no useful information at all, Chu Jun could see Headache.

"Who wrote this?" Chu Jun looked at the inscription, and it was a magistrate of Linhai Road.

"Your Majesty, what are your orders?" Su Jin stepped forward and asked.

Chu Jun threw the memorial to Su Jin and said, "You ask someone to post this thing and pass on my will. Anyone who dares to write such nonsense in the future will let me go home and eat me. What kind of magistrate is this? I will be fined for one year." .”

"Your Majesty, is this going too far?" Su Jin apologized with a smile, this kind of nonsense memorials occur every month, and His Majesty often complains, but there has never been such a big fight.

Chu Jun glanced over: "Why, now the great achievement is what you Su Jin said?"

"Don't dare dare," Su Jin quickly knelt down, "Damn the little one, the little one was wrong."

Chu Junhou glanced at him: "Go away, go to work."

"Hey, yes." Su Jin got up and said, and retreated with a smile.

After a while, he came in again.

Chu Jun was impatient: "Didn't I ask you to do something?"

"Your Majesty, this... Now that the six ministries are on duty and the palace gates are locked, there is no place for the younger ones to deliver the decree." Su Jin said.

Chu Jun was choked by him, and said in a buzzing voice: "Then let me go early tomorrow morning."

Su Jin: "Yes, little one obeys the order."

Su Jin went out for a while, then came back and said, "Your Majesty."

"Shut up." Chu Jun reprimanded.

Su Jin endured for a while, then said again: "Your Majesty."

Chu Jun became angry: "Didn't you see that I am busy? You don't have eyes!"

"Your Majesty, Master Tong is here." Su Jin said, secretly taking a look at Chu Jun's expression.

Chu Jun wanted to scold, but when he heard the word Tong Ran, he immediately took it back. He put down his pen, straightened his collar, coughed lightly and said, "Xuan."

Tong Ran came in from the outside under the leadership of the servant.

"Chen Xiaoguo county magistrate Tong Ran, pay homage to the emperor." Tong Ran knelt down and saluted.

"Pingshen." Chu Jun said.It was the first time for him to look at Tong Ran from such an angle, which was something new.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Tong Ran got up and raised her head.

"Why is your face so bad?" Chu Jun frowned.

"Huh?" Tong Ran was taken aback.

"Your Majesty Tong might have been exposed to the cold wind while waiting outside, let's have a sip of hot tea first." It was Su Jin who reacted quickly and brought hot tea to Tong Ran.

Chu Jun pressed his fist to his lips, coughed lightly to cover up his gaffe, and said again: "Tong Qing came from a long way, you have worked hard, and I will give you a seat."

Tong Ran took the tea and sat down. The tea should be freshly brewed, and it was still seven or eight cents hot. It was a little hot after drinking, but it was just right when it was held in his hand.Chu Jun didn't speak, and Tong Ran took a look at him quietly. The emperor was really young, about 24 or [-], wearing a large robe embroidered with golden dragons, but the shoulder line still had a youthful look.

In a few years, when his figure is fully grown, his shoulders will probably be wider and his arms will be stronger.

"Master Tong?" Su Jin waved his hand in front of his eyes.

"Huh?" Tong Ran regained consciousness.

"Tong Aiqing, what are you thinking about so preoccupied?" Chu Jun said, his green eyes coincided with Tong Ran's.

Tong Ran's face became hot, and he lowered his eyelashes to avoid staring at Chu Jun. Those green eyes were so similar to the little tiger.

Tong Ran put down his teacup, cupped his hands and said, "Thanks to His Majesty's care, Tong Ran was able to live in the palace to avoid the right and wrong outside. It was Tong Ran's negligence, and he still hasn't thanked His Majesty. Please forgive me."

"It's just a small matter." Chu Jun said.

Su Jin took a sneak peek at Chu Jun, and then sized up Tong Ran.Tong Ran had never been in the palace, but he seemed to know some rules. Chu Jun didn't speak, so he waited quietly.It's just that His Majesty was looking forward to Master Tong's arrival just now, why can't he say a word at this moment?

Chu Jun also noticed something was wrong, coughed lightly and said: "Tong Aiqing's letter said that there are other methods of using gunpowder to tell me. There are no outsiders here, but it doesn't matter."

"Yes." Tong Ran cupped his hands and handed over a blueprint, "This is the design drawing for the artillery and the firecracker. Both are suitable for long-range strikes. The artillery is suitable for large-scale strikes and is more powerful, while the firecracker can be used for individual soldiers. In combat, the power is weaker than artillery, but stronger than the arrows used today."

Su Jin took the blueprint from Tong Ran and presented it to Chu Jun.

Chu Jun opened it and saw that the design drawing on it was Tong Ran's usual style. In addition to the pictures of each component, the overall picture, there were also descriptions of each detail, which was complicated but not chaotic.

"You invented all these things?" Chu Jun asked.

Tong Ran cupped his hands: "It's not exactly, I read some books from the west by chance, and I was inspired to design it."

"Oh? I heard that the gunpowder was invented by you when you got the inspiration from the shaft kiln explosion. You need gunpowder cannons and firecrackers, but you got the inspiration a long time ago?" Chu Jun said, "Have you seen it?" The book from the west, I really didn’t know there was such a thing, why don’t you ask County Magistrate Tong to bring you the book that inspired you to open my eyes?”

After Tong Ran came in, Chu Jun's attitude had been relatively gentle, but suddenly he was aggressive, and Tong Ran was a little caught off guard.

Chu Jun felt extremely happy. He had wanted to ask Tong Ran these things for a long time, but because he was a tiger, he couldn't speak.None of the things that Tong Ran invented, including the script, the bamboo cards, cement, and gunpowder, are related to each other, as if he is an all-rounder and knows everything.

Chu Junyuan still believed Liyao's words, but after seeing the gunpowder formula presented by Tong Ran, he threw his nonsense aside.

The explosion in the shaft kiln was caused by the interaction between open flame and wheat flour, but Tong Ran's gunpowder used saltpeter, sulfur and other substances. The formula is impossible to beat. How can it inspire inspiration?It can be inferred from this that his book from the west of Lao Shizi is probably also a bunch of nonsense.

Tong Ran was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized: "I saw that book from a passing merchant, and I can't find it now."

Liyao's words were originally an excuse he made up to deceive others, but unexpectedly, he was caught by the emperor. It is really difficult to explain why he suddenly came up with the same new thing.Tong Ran thought about it before, it would be better to say that he read it in a certain ancient book, but then he thought about it, there are so many people who read a lot, how did he, a little county magistrate, get an ancient book that no one has seen before?This is definitely not going to work.

The book from the west was just a brainstorm, but this is really a good idea. Anyway, the traffic was not smooth in ancient times, and the area of ​​the west is so wide.

Chu Jun was complacent, he was lying nonsense, and I caught him.But Tong Ran didn't stop talking, he continued: "However, I still remember some fragments. If Your Majesty wants to see it, I can write it silently for you to read."

Chu Jun raised his eyebrows, silently writing?Is he going to make up a book on the spot?

Chu Jun said: "Then Tong Aiqing write it now."

He wanted to see how he was going to live up to this lie.

Tong Ran was also taken aback, the little emperor has so many tricks.

Chu Jun got up from behind the desk, pointed at the desk and said, "You can use my desk."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is inappropriate..." Su Jin whispered.

"It's okay." Chu Jun strode to the side chair and sat down, looking at Tong Ran with great interest.

Tong Ran walked to the desk, looked at it intently, and picked up the quill pen on the table: "Your Majesty, this pen looks familiar."

"I got it by accident, why, you know it?" Chu Jun said.

"Your Majesty doesn't know, this kind of pen is what I'm used to." Tong Ran said, took out another quill from his bosom, and showed it to Chu Jun.

Chu Jun slightly expressed surprise, and then said: "Since there is a suitable pen, Tong Aiqing should hurry up and write." Chu Jun sat with his head sideways, picked up the freshly brewed tea handed by Su Jin, and lowered his head to take a sip.

Tong Ran spread out the paper and held the pen. After thinking for a while, he dipped the pen into the ink and began to write on the paper.

Since it is a book from the west, it is of course not a Dacheng script.In order to read the original documents in his previous life, Tong Ran's English was not bad. He originally wanted to give Chu Jun a sonnet, but after thinking about it, he should be more serious, so he wrote a paragraph in a paper about ancient gunpowder. Snippets seen.He hadn't read this paper repeatedly, so he couldn't remember it word for word. He just organized a paragraph of text based on his general impression.

Not long after Tong Ran started writing, Chu Jun and Su Jin felt the wave of righteousness at the same time.

Su Jin took a peek at Tong Ran, suppressing the surprise in his heart, while Chu Jun stroked his chin. His little attendant really brought him another surprise.It's a pity that he is not a little tiger now, otherwise he must jump on the desk to see it quickly.

The righteousness coiled around Tong Ran's body, but it didn't directly fill the brows like usual, as if it was probing, it didn't stretch out a small strand, but it didn't go in.

Tong Ran was unmoved, this righteousness was huge, but he probably won't get it.

In today's world, even if there is the British Isles in the west, there is probably no United Kingdom.Latin is probably the only orthodox language in Europe, and Rome may still be entrenched around the Mediterranean Sea, while dialects such as English and French will not develop until the Renaissance.

Tong Ran wrote modern English. In this era, he can be said to have made great language innovations, and even invented a language, so the righteousness is extremely large and fierce.

But to be righteous, its inventions and innovations must be useful in a world in which English is useless.

So, probably he can only get a small amount of righteousness about the knowledge of gunpowder.

Tong Ran stopped writing, and a small wave of righteousness shot into his brow, he closed his eyes, and the refinement was completed in an instant.When he drew the design drawings of cannons and firecrackers before, he had gathered a lot of righteousness, and he was only a little away from the top grade of Xuanjie. Today's English essay completed the last step for him.

"Congratulations, Mr. Tong, for being promoted to the top grade of Xuan Rank." Su Jin said.

Tong Ran put down his pen, cupped his hands in return, and said to Chu Jun: "Your Majesty, the subject has been completed, please take a look at it."

Tong Ran presented the excerpts of the thesis that he had written to Chu Jun, and Chu Jun skipped past Su Jin and came to get them in person, and the enormous uprightness entrenched in the study instantly dissipated.

"It seems that Master Tong's fragments are not worth the righteousness." Chu Jun said.

He unfolded the paper, and there were only words the size of tofu cubes on it. The strokes were elegant and smooth, but the things written were like ghostly symbols.Chu Jun couldn't understand.

Seeing his frowning eyebrows, Tong Ran smiled even more: "Your Majesty, this is part of the book that I read from Xixi Laishan."

Su Jin was also curious, and couldn't help but take a look at it. It was full of ghostly symbols.

It's over, it's over, Your Majesty can't understand, Master Tong is over.Su Jin glanced at Tong Ran sympathetically, he was too courageous, even plucking out the tiger's beard.

Chu Jun laughed.

His brows and eyes are stretched, and the corners of his lips are slightly curved.

Su Jin lowered his brows and narrowed his eyes, looking at his nose, nose and heart, and folded his hands in front of him, holding his fly whisk firmly.His Majesty seldom smiles, there must be monsters when things go wrong, Master Tong's actions probably drove His Majesty mad.

"Not bad." Chu Jun said, "Tong Aiqing is very knowledgeable, not bad."

Tong Ran cupped his hands: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

Not even angry?Su Jin was dumbfounded, and silently removed Tong Ran from the list of those who needed to be treated politely, and put him in the list of those who should not be offended.

"All the foreign books I read have already been translated into Dacheng characters. Tong Aiqing can understand the language of Xiyi. Why don't you tell me what it means?" I don't believe it. What kind of Xiyi language can a big doctor understand, these must be made up.

These were all written by Tong Ran, of course he understood the meaning, so he stepped forward and translated them for Chu Jun.

After Chu Jun listened, he pointed to a few more words and asked him.

Tong Ran not only answered one by one, but also explained English grammar to him.

Tong Ran had a solid foundation and spoke clearly and logically. After listening to it for a while, Chu Jun couldn't keep up.

Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Tong Ran also accepted it as soon as he saw it.She bowed her hands and saluted, "Your Majesty, Tong Ran has little talent and little learning. I only remember this from the book. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

These were obviously modest words, but Chu Jun couldn't get angry.

He flicked his sleeves, sat back behind the desk, and threw the paper full of ghost symbols to Su Jin: "Put it away."

Su Jin took it respectfully and put it away.

Chu Jun looked at Tong Ran without hesitation, while Tong Ran lowered his head slightly, his shoulders were thin but as stable as rocks, and he stood there and let him look at him.

The study was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be faintly heard. The servants outside couldn't hear the sound inside, and they didn't even dare to move. The entire Xuanzheng Hall was eerily quiet, except for the occasional sound of guards patrolling.

Tong Ran's posture has not changed, he is very respectful, but it also makes Chu Jun's teeth itch with hatred.

It is impossible for him to understand these things based on his life experience, but he does. Knowing that he is not telling the truth, Chu Jun can't bear to question him about the truth.

After another half hour, Chu Jun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Forget it, the book is long, it's good that you can remember this paragraph."

He actually continued what he said just now, and Tong Ran's shoulders sank slightly by half an inch, and only then did he really relax a bit.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. In addition, I have something to report." Tong Ran said.

"Say." Chu Jun knew that he had said this.

Tong Ran took out the account book he stole from Gou An's mansion from his bosom, and offered it with both hands: "This is what I got from the mansion of Gou An, who knew Gou An in front of Xiaoguo County. Your Majesty, please have a look at the evidence. In addition, I asked your Majesty to condemn you for entering the official residence that has been sealed off."

Su Jin brought the ledger and handed it to Chu Jun.

Tong Ran played the merits and demerits at the same time, which is considered clever. Chu Jun took over the account book, and he would not have made things difficult for him.

"It's okay, after I have a look, I will make my own decision." Chu Jun said.
