"Your Majesty, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, please see me." When Emperor Zhenghe was thinking about how to deploy next, a servant suddenly came to report.

Emperor Zhenghe frowned, but still called someone to bring in Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.The Minister of the Ministry of Industry entered the hall and saluted, and Emperor Zhenghe motioned for the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to get up: "I heard that the Ministry of Industry has made any progress besides researching ships and reclamation these days?" The progress is also clear.

"Replying to Your Majesty, today I came here to announce the good news." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry smiled, and signaled the servant to present the things he just brought: "Your Majesty, look, what is this?"

Zheng Hedi's eyes fell on the two exquisite models on the tray, and his eyes lit up instantly: "Is this a cannon?"

"Yes, the Ministry of Industry has obtained a lot of translations over the years, coupled with the efforts of the craftsmen, this is our new cannon of the Great Central Dynasty. Not only that, but compared with the previous cannons, it can also change direction and be flexible. "When the Minister of the Ministry of Industry talked about these things, he was also extremely proud. With these Dayang Dynasty, if they fight again, it will be much smoother.

"What if I move these artillery pieces to the north?" Emperor Zhenghe turned around and looked at the territory map behind him, and excitedly drew it. It was Gaoli.In the past, because of the terrain and climate, and the heavy artillery, it was not as easy as the Vulcan Arrow, so it was not very useful, but it was very powerful in long-distance combat.

"Of course it is possible." The Ministry of Industry replied hurriedly, and the ambition of Emperor Zhenghe was well known throughout the court.

The monarch and his ministers talked a lot more, and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry even proposed that these cannons could be used on sea ships after being improved, which made the government happy.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something about my subject?" Minister of the Ministry of Industry hesitated for a long time, but he still spoke.

"Is there anything you can't say about Aiqing?" Emperor Zhenghe was very happy, and when he saw the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry hesitating, he said, "Just say it, I forgive you for not being guilty."

"Your Majesty, I want to say that it is Ge Da, Minister of the Ministry of Industry." The Minister of the Ministry of Industry knelt down. As the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, he has always managed his one-acre three-point land, and did not read, listen or talk about unnecessary things. However, both Jia Zhen and Xu Wenqing are his colleagues. There are two of them in the Ministry of Household and Officials these years. Finally, the Ministry of Industry does not need to ask for money. It has also risen with the tide, and the love for so many years of incense is not just talking about it.

"Geda?" Emperor Zhenghe narrowed his eyes, but he remembered this person. He heard that he was related to Xu Wenqing, but the relationship between the two families was not good, or it would be more appropriate to say that Xu Wenqing didn't want to see the Ge family.

"What's wrong with him?" Emperor Zhenghe calmed down his emotions just now, sat back on the throne, and quietly listened to Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry thought for a moment, and then slowly said that although Ge Da is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he is not in charge of artillery ships. He is in charge of water conservancy and hydrology and other related matters, but these days he frequently I took the opportunity to go in and out of the archives, and wanted to take the opportunity to look through the blueprints and documents such as □□, but someone noticed something was wrong after a lot of times, and told the Minister of the Ministry of Industry instead.The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry thought that Ge Shilang had inexplicably a lot of money these days. He heard that other people in the Ministry of Industry said that Ge Shilang was very close to them these days, often giving gifts, and even went to condolences to the craftsmen in person, which was completely different from his usual temperament. not like.

"It's just like this?" When Emperor Zhenghe heard this, he immediately became vigilant, thinking of the King of Beijing and the spies of Gaoli in the capital.

Minister of the Ministry of Industry pondered for a moment: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. Ge Da used to go to Xu Wenqing's house before, and he was always rejected. Logically speaking, he should be the most anxious when the Xu family is imprisoned this time, but on the contrary, he even heard that When he was drunk, he said that it was because the Xu family didn't want to see him, otherwise if he said a few words, the Xu family wouldn't be in such a state."

"I know, Ai Qing, don't mention this matter to anyone, and don't startle the snake, but Ge Da can't steal the blueprints and files." Emperor Zhenghe narrowed his eyes, tapped his fingers on the table lightly, Bei Jing The king of the county already had some clues, but he didn't expect that the net was about to be closed, and more things were involved. Gao Li was really more ambitious than he thought before.

"Come here." Emperor Zhenghe summoned his own spies and asked them to find out everything about Ge Da as soon as possible.

Let's not talk about Zhenghedi for now.Xu got the recent situation of his parents and two elder brothers from his father-in-law Jia Zhen, and his heart was finally relieved. It seems that Emperor Zhenghe did not believe that the Xu family was secretly colluding with Gaoli. In order to paralyze the enemy and lure the snake out of the hole, on the other hand, I am afraid that it will involve more, resulting in a passive situation.

"Let Brother Yang do more activities these days, and you can bring some food in." Jia Zhen has also understood the temper of Zhenghe Emperor very well over the years. He has always been close to Qingliu. If it wasn't for this drama, the whole family might not be in the capital anymore, and when Xu Wenqing came out, he might be promoted.The corner of Jia Zhen's mouth curled up—hitting with a stick and giving a sweet date, after all, it's all about checks and balances.

Mrs. Xu wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, while Jia Mao held Mrs. Xu's hand and comforted her silently. "When Xu Wenqing and the others come out, let Brother Yang take you back to Xu's residence for a few days." Jia Zhen nodded and suggested.

Afterwards, Jia Zhen asked Mrs. Xu to step down first.Jia Mao sat on the chair and stool. Jia Zhen looked at her son. He was just a child at the beginning, but now he is a little taller than herself: "You must not slack off in the scientific examination next year. If you don't get a Jinshi, then Be an official first, and when the time comes, you should also retire as a father."

"Father, what does this mean?" Jia Mao frowned. It is not uncommon for father and son to be officials in the same dynasty. Why did his father want to step down from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials? Participating in it, the Jia family will lose some branches and leaves at most.

Jia Zhen smiled and took a sip of tea: "Father, I have always wanted to get rid of the four kings and eight princes for many years, but my father was able to walk all the way smoothly, but I also borrowed some of my name and confidence. Right now, the rich and powerful faction is already in decline, not to mention that the fall of the King of Beijing will definitely bite our Jia family, and the rest will move closer to our Jia family, but this is precisely the one who is afraid." Jia Zhen Pointing to the sky, Jia Mao immediately understood what Jia Zhen meant. He never thought that Zheng Hedi, who had always relied heavily on his father, would fear his father the most at this moment.

"Misfortune depends on fortune, and fortune rests on misfortune. It is better to believe in what is there than in what is not." Jia Zhen stood up and patted Jia Mao's shoulder, "This time, Emperor Zhenghe just let me stay in the mansion so that I can see it." There are clues. Is my son so unconfident in himself?" Jia Zhen still remembers Ning Guogong's wish back then clearly.

"No, it's just that the child is still young, and I'm afraid he will lose face to his father." Jia Mao looked up at Jia Zhen. "If you make a mistake, correct it. Besides, even if I ask for resignation, I don't let it go immediately. It will take some time for this person to cool down. Besides, although your father has a bad temper, he still has some friends. You don't have to worry about it." Looking at Jia Mao, Jia Zhen thought about it and said something first, so that Jia Mao had a bottom line.

"Brother Hui has a straight temper and likes to study Western things. In the future, he will also work in the Ministry of Industry and Engineering. You two brothers should take care of each other." Jia Zhen reminded that although he and the Chu family treat each other like two children, they treat Brother Hui It's true that the children are looser, and the two children can understand these intentions, "I won't tell Brother Hui about this, as long as you know it well."

"Father, don't worry. By the way, the family is busy these days. Originally, didn't mother say that she wanted to take care of my younger brother?" Jia Mao and Jia Wei brothers had a very good relationship, so they naturally agreed.

"Originally, I planned to see each other, but since I have plans to resign, I plan to wait until next year to talk about it. At that time, let your daughter-in-law also see each other, and you must choose the one you like when you get along with each other." Jia Zhen and Jia Mao said some more words, and then let Jia Mao go back.

Jia Mao went back to the house and mentioned the matter to Mrs. Xu. Although she didn't say that Jia Zhen planned to resign, Mrs. Xu's eyes turned red when she heard it. "Why are you crying?" Jia Mao was taken aback, and was about to take out a handkerchief to wipe Xu's tears.

"Master and wife are sympathetic to me." Jia Mao didn't feel anything, but he was talking about it as a trivial matter, but Mrs. Xu knew that Brother Hui's daughter-in-law would definitely be a head lower than him in the future, and let him follow her, also for the sake of letting her It is already very good for me to choose a younger brother and sister who is tempered.

"Although my younger brother has calmed down over the years and devoted himself to studying ships and other things, he likes lively women. The most important thing is that the two of them can talk." Jia Mao said hastily.

"My mother-in-law is not in a hurry, but your elder brother is in a hurry and told me." Xu laughed through his tears.

"I'm just telling you." Jia Mao laughed when he heard Xu's joke.

"Aren't you afraid to scare our son?" Seeing Jia Zhen lying on the couch with a leisurely expression, Chu said while peeling grapes for Jia Zhen, "Brother Yang is very motivated right now!"

"I'm just telling us that it's his turn to support this family." Jia Zhen lowered her head and ate the grapes that Mrs. Chu handed over, and then said with a smile. "Although the higher-ups have scruples about you, I'm afraid it won't be so smooth to ask for your resignation." Chu sighed. "Don't worry, I have my own ideas, but don't you like to visit rivers and mountains? Let's go around." Jia Zhen has already prepared a draft, and Zheng Hedi will definitely agree to it.

The Chu family smiled, and peeled another grape and brought it to Jia Zhen's mouth. The couple peeled and fed the other, making the years seem more peaceful and distant.
