The cannon fodder through the book will live to the end

Rong Ke arrived soon, and asked respectfully, "Grandmother, what's the matter with calling your grandson?"

The old lady looked at him kindly, and said: "I called you here to discuss something with you. The Zhenbei Prince's Mansion sent a gift. By the way, I have something to ask. Can you take a look?"

After speaking, hand him the letter on the table.

After Rong Ke received the letter, he took a serious look at it, and was immediately surprised by what the letter asked for.He couldn't help looking at the old lady, hesitantly said: "This... I don't know what grandma thinks? Do you want to agree?"

The old lady looked at him and asked, "Do you think you should agree?"

Rong Ke immediately thought about it. The first aid method that has caused a commotion in the capital recently came from the Zhenbei Palace.However, reviews have been mixed, good and bad.Moreover, it was at a time when the two princes were going through six parts of experience to choose the crown prince, so it might not be a good thing to have a relationship at this time.

Rong Ke immediately spoke out what was in his heart.The old lady nodded with satisfaction immediately, and replied: "You have always been calm, and I am relieved to hand over the Rong Mansion to you in the future. The Rong Mansion is now in decline, and it is desperately needed a chance to stand up again, and now is that opportunity."

Rong Ke immediately replied: "Son'er doesn't understand, why does King Zhenbei make such a request? The Tao Mansion is still here, so why should the concubine recognize her relative again? If she agrees, then she will stand on King Zhenbei's side on behalf of the Rong Mansion. If he loses in the future, won't the Rong family be implicated?"

The old lady also thought about it and said: "Although I don't know why? But it is an opportunity for the Rong family. Between the king of Zhenbei and the king of Liang, regardless of personal relationship, we are on the side of the king of Zhenbei. The right choice. You are still young, so you don’t know your majesty’s friendship with the queen. Now, although the two princes seem to be on equal footing, and the king of Liang has the support of his grandfather Cui’s family, as long as the king of Zhenbei doesn’t do anything outrageous, the prince Sooner or later it will be his."

Rong Ke didn't expect his grandmother to be so sure, he was puzzled and said: "Your Majesty ordered the two princes to practice in six parts, and now King Liang is praised more. Although the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion has also been discussed, it seems that the Zhenbei King has not made any progress in the Ministry of Rites. What achievements. If King Liang is still outstanding in the subsequent experience, King Zhenbei still has no achievements. If we have such a clear-cut banner, I am afraid that King Liang will not like it in the future."

The old lady smiled and said: "You are too calm, but you are also thoughtful. In the eyes of King Liang, we may not be trusted because of our old age. Therefore, we should all stand on the side of Zhenbei King here.

But the letter also said that if we agree, there is no need to announce it to the public now.Just wait until the day when it needs to be announced, and we will come forward.If the final situation is not good, we can also completely pretend that this has never happened.But I thought, since I decided to agree to this matter, why not go a little deeper, show our attitude to King Zhenbei, and then find a job for you. "

Rong Ke immediately replied respectfully: "It's my grandson who is not good enough, so it's hard for grandma to worry about her grandson."

The old lady patted his hand and said: "You are the only one who can accomplish things in the Rong Mansion now. Speaking of personal affairs, you are attached to the King of Zhenbei, and he will give you some preferential treatment. If he succeeds at that time, he will be able to do it from the dragon's merits." It will definitely bring the Rong Mansion back to its former glory. It's just that you have to work harder."

Rong Ke replied: "The grandson is not afraid of suffering. This matter is up to the grandmother."

Time flies, and soon four months passed by.This day is the day when King Zhenbei and King Liang finished their training in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment respectively.It is also the day to go back to the other six parts to practice again.

For the past four months, the court has been peaceful on the surface.Everyone watched the performance of the two princes in the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment with cold eyes, but they were actually weighing it in their hearts.

Among them, Liang Wang first solved the theft case in the Ministry of Criminal Justice and returned the innocence of the innocent, which was well received by unanimous praise.The king of Zhenbei was tepid in the Ministry of Rites and had no eye-catching behavior.However, the danger of intermarriage and two first aid methods were reported from the Zhenbei Palace.After verification, these are all correct, but it seems that it has nothing to do with King Zhenbei.

At least the people in the capital know that Liang Wang is very observant.The impression of the king of Zhenbei still stays in the previous unreasonable and decisive killing.For the hearts of the people, King Liang is slightly better.

As early as the end of the first round of training, both the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Punishment had written notes, detailing what the two princes did in the yamen, and finally had their own comments.Emperor Jin De also read carefully one by one, and combined with what he knew, he also made a decision in his heart.

Not surprisingly, Lin Qing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, rated King Liang as the best.Because Liang Wang worked hard when he was on duty in the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, he returned the people's innocence, and helped the yamen arrest criminals.These are all obvious to all. Shangshu Lin Qing believes that Liang Wang's behavior is top-notch, so he evaluates it as a top-notch.

Ding Zhang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, rated King Zhenbei as a good one.Because the king of Zhenbei is the head of the lineage, he read the classics during the Ministry of Rites, recorded etiquette norms, and participated in sacrifices and other behaviors in line with etiquette.Therefore, it is a class.

After Emperor Jinde got these two notebooks, he read them several times and thought about them for a long time.No one knew what was going on in his heart at that time.Even the great eunuch who served him personally, Qulu, didn't dare to disturb him at that time.

So this morning, Emperor Jin De did not comment too much on Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Jingci, but only ordered King Zhenbei and King Liang to go to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households to start their second experience.

After coming down to court, Xiao Jingyu bowed his hands to Ding Zhang, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and followed the Secretary of the Ministry of Industry to the yamen of the Ministry of Industry.The yamen of the Ministry of Industry is not as clean and tidy as the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and the people are mostly noisy. The whole place looks like a vegetable market.

Especially after Shang Shu Shi Dian brought Xiao Jingyu into the Yamen, he said directly, "Your Majesty, this place is no more comfortable than other places, and everything is in a mess. Just sit here, don't move around at random, and don't touch things randomly." Things, be careful not to get hurt."

After Si Dian finished speaking, no matter what Xiao Jingyu thought, he just left him and left.And Xiao Jingyu was left alone, not even able to drink his saliva.However, Xiao Jingyu also understands that the Ministry of Industry is mainly responsible for managing mountains, villages, and craftsmen.They are all people who deal with the exact real thing, no more than other departments.

In particular, Shangshu Shidian is a highly skilled craftsman.He is obsessed with advanced technology. Under his leadership, the entire Ministry of Industry is committed to developing more sophisticated technology.And it was highly valued by Emperor Jinde.The Ministry of Industry is the only department that only focuses on technical objects, and does not need to participate in party struggles.

Although he said not to walk around, Xiao Jingyu obviously wouldn't listen.He sat for a while and walked out of the lobby after finding that no one paid attention to him.Following the voice he heard in his ears, Xiao Jingyu walked to a room next to him.Several people gathered there, discussing something.Among them, Shangshu Shidian is also here.

Xiao Jingyu took a closer look and found that the things they surrounded looked familiar.It is a small waterwheel, but it seems to be somewhat different from the waterwheel used in the Northwest.

"If the fan blades here are changed, the speed of the waterwheel will become faster."

"Yes, yes, yes. It is best to link two small water trucks next to the big water truck, so that more water can be irrigated."

"I don't think this kind of wood should be used. This kind of wood will probably rot after a few years. You can try other kinds of wood."

……

They discussed happily, as if they didn't notice Xiao Jingyu's arrival, or they didn't care.Xiao Jingyu didn't care about their attitude, but just listened from the sidelines. Although he didn't understand it very well, he knew that the Ministry of Industry wanted to improve the waterwheel better.

After standing aside for a long time, Si Dian seemed to have just discovered Xiao Jingyu, and said a little unhappy: "My lord, why don't you sit over there. Things are messy here, don't touch them, or you won't be able to find them by then." .”

Xiao Jingyu didn't care about his attitude, and said, "I've been listening here for a long time, and I think your improved waterwheel is pretty good. Have you tried it in the fields outside?"

Si Dian frowned and said, "The waterwheel still has room for improvement. We will try it after we make it better. If you don't understand these things, don't worry about it."

The so-called experts watch the doorway, and laymen watch the excitement.Xiao Jingyu was an outsider to them, and what he said had no reference.

Being rejected one after another, even if he has a good personality, he can't help being a little annoyed.What's more, Xiao Jingyu's temperament is not very good.

He snorted coldly: "This king doesn't understand these things, but I have seen the installation and use of the first waterwheel. Did Master Si forget that this waterwheel came from the northwest."

Si Dian was taken aback for a moment, and immediately reacted.Indeed, the waterwheel came from the northwest.The king of Zhenbei had access to the waterwheel before them.But that being the case, there are just a few questions to ask.

Si Dian immediately asked excitedly: "Your Majesty, do you know why this water wheel is designed like this, and why it can draw water automatically? How did Master Wu, who was the first to make a water wheel, come up with the idea?"

Seeing Si Dian's attitude change drastically, Xiao Jingyu immediately knew that this man really only cared about technology.But these questions, he can only answer: "These can only be asked to Master Wu. However, the waterwheel automatically draws water according to the force of the water flow, and you must all know this."

Although Si Dian was a little disappointed, he still replied: "You only need to look at the flow of water to know this power. In the past, some novelty things appeared frequently in the northwest, but they were all simple and easy to make, and there was nothing to study. Only this The waterwheel can be studied and improved."

Xiao Jingyu heard the words and asked: "If Master Si wants to study some novel things, this king can suggest some ideas."

Si Dian immediately looked over curiously, and the others also looked at Xiao Jingyu.

Xiao Jingyu continued: "I don't know if Mr. Si believes that this king can ignite a fire from a distance?"

"Igniting a fire from a distance?" Si Dian frowned, and replied, "Could it be that the lord is playing with us? We should use a fire pocket to light a fire, or drill a log to make a fire. How can it be possible to light a fire from a distance?"

Xiao Jingyu smiled mysteriously, and said, "Of course it can. Master Si, take a closer look."
