Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 42 Comparison of Two Phases
The Minister of the Ministry of Industry couldn't help coughing twice.

He concealed his embarrassment, then sighed deeply, pretending to hold back Chen Yi, and said,
"I didn't expect it! I didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Chen Yi bought my heart. It's like buying the hearts of the craftsmen under my hands. After that, my life will be miserable. ."

Chen Yi couldn't help bursting out laughing when he saw such a minister of the Ministry of Industry.

Chen Yi stretched out his hand and patted Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry on the shoulder: "Don't worry! Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, you support me so much, how could I forget your great kindness, and in the past two days, I will put the machinery involved Principles, compiled into a book, and left in the Ministry of Industry."

Only then did Shangshu nodded in satisfaction.

Deliberately looked Chen Yi up and down: "A child can be taught, if it weren't for the little girl, she is only five years old now, and I really want you to be my son-in-law."

Chen Yi suddenly heard this and shuddered, with a wry smile on his face.

"My Minister of the Ministry of Industry, I can't help it. I'll go now, okay."

After Chen Yi finished speaking, he walked into the Ministry of Industry. The Minister of the Ministry of Industry showed a proud smile behind him.

After the well digging tools and experiments, the results are gratifying, so they need to continue to produce parts and repeat the work.

Chen Yi thought that he wanted to write some mechanical principles, especially now, the technology that can be used at the current level of industrial production in Dawu Kingdom.

Chen Yi naturally handed over the arduous task of quality inspection to the Minister of Industry.

The Minister of Industry took over naturally, after all, this was one of his duties.

Chen Yi would visit occasionally, and spend the rest of his time writing with all his might. In addition to writing these mechanical principles, he would also accompany them with corresponding illustrations.

After all, Chen Yi is a modern person, although he can write beautiful thin gold body.

But there are still some differences in this drawing.

Chen Yi is not only a little thankful for himself at this time, but in modern times, he has a wide range of interests, especially like some Lego building, so he specially learned a lot of knowledge in this area.

Like gear transmission, the ratchet and pawl were learned while playing with Lego.

It can be said that there is laughter and joy here. Everyone seems to have rekindled their expectations for life, has endless energy, and feels that life is more promising.

But above the court, there seemed to be more disputes and bad news came one after another.

The empress felt that she had grown three or four years old recently, and was much haggard.

This matter still has to start from the Dawu Kingdom, the Xuanluo Kingdom in the west.

Xuanluo Kingdom is located to the west of Dawu Kingdom. It is a country on the plateau and a tribal country that has transformed into barbarians.

In recent years, they have also been making moves on the border of Dawu Kingdom.

Although it is true that it is a barbarian tribe, it cannot be denied that the fighting power of the Xuanluo Kingdom is very strong, whether it is a single soldier or a group, it is better than the Dawu Kingdom.

Xuanluo country can be regarded as a country on the grassland, because of the influence of geographical environment and ecological factors.

The people of Xuanluo Kingdom are majestic and powerful, with great strength and strong adaptability. Coupled with the lack of resources, they live a life of licking blood on the tip of a knife every day. Naturally, the folk customs are tough.

That's why they actually adopted the style of nomads, constantly causing troubles on the borders of the Great Five Kingdoms, making the people on the borders of the Great Wu Kingdom miserable.

During the time of the first emperor, the treasury was sufficient and the soldiers were strong, so although there were outbreaks of fighters on both sides from time to time, they all ended in the victory of the Dawu Kingdom.

But there is a difference now. Everyone knows that now, after the empress takes the throne.

Apart from allowing the court to operate normally, most of the energy was devoted to the Alchemy Pavilion.

Especially in the last few years, money was directly taken from the national treasury, leaving the treasury empty, and there was not even a severe drought in Longxi, and the money was won to relieve the disaster.

So now, because of the lack of money and food in Dawu Kingdom, the situation of the soldiers on the border is becoming more and more difficult.

The military rations are not sufficient, and there is no military training.

Without the weapons at hand, and not enough to eat, how could I have the strength to resist, and the Xuanluo Kingdom invaded the border.

Inevitably, or rather inevitable, the war at the border was retreating steadily. There was no way around it, and we couldn't watch our soldiers starve to death in vain, or be weak and killed by the enemy.

So Chen Yi was a general who came back from the border while he was in the Ministry of Industry.

They had been making trouble for a long time in the morning and morning, asking for money from the empress to replenish food and grass so that the soldiers could eat well.

Prepare armor and knives so that the soldiers have enough protection to beat the enemy back.

However, even Chen Yi, who was born in a peaceful age, knew it.

Fighting a war is a money-burning business, and it is not so easy, so the amount of silver taels that these soldiers have inherited is too huge.

The empress felt dizzy the first time she saw him.

So the Tai Chi I have been doing these days is ambiguous.

When the other ministers heard this number, they were all shocked and started talking.

These generals are also rough and tough. When they are asked to lead troops in battle, one can stand up to two. But when it comes to quarrels, one is the leader and the other two are the boss. How can they outsmart these ministers?

Therefore, such scenes can often be seen in the court.

First, the generals began to apply for funding, and the empress said she knew about it, and began to ask other ministers for their opinions.

The other ministers aired their opinions and debated endlessly, the generals were caught in it, and occasionally inserted a sentence or two, but they were refuted by the ministers in disgrace.

As a result, the family became angry and made all sorts of cruel remarks.

The ministers were no longer afraid. One by one, they seemed to have learned the essence of Chen Yi.

It's not about hitting the wall, or asking for death on its own initiative. Crying, making trouble, and hanging himself are vividly displayed, which is absolutely wonderful.

It made these generals stationed at the border a headache and had nothing to do.

Whenever things came to this, the empress would calm down, announce her resignation, and run away in despair.

After such a period of time, the generals at the border had accumulated a little anger in their hearts.

I just know what is most important, so I keep suppressing it.

There is a saying that goes well, if you don’t explode in silence, you will perish in silence. Being suppressed for such a long time is naturally not a good thing.

Although the empress didn't know this sentence, he could also know that this way of handling it would not work at all, and something would happen sooner or later.

But if her empress were to take out the silver taels, the amount of money needed by the generals at the border is really too large, and it is really impossible to get it out for a while.

Even the chief minister of the cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs, who managed the imperial money, did not agree to the request of the border generals.

This made the atmosphere above the court even more gloomy and melancholy.
