Lord Moyu was forced to open

After Nadapeng retreated, Zhao Jun coughed twice and then said to the officials:

"Ahem, we don't need to say anything more about what the late emperor did.

But since this country is willing to spend so much money to buy weapons, I think we still need to show the demeanor of a great country. "

Liu Jin, the Minister of War, immediately stood up and said with a grimace, "Your Majesty, although this money is good, our arsenal has been inspected by the late emperor, and now we really can't find the kind of weapons that the envoys of the Kingdom of Sui Luo want!" "

Liu Jin's hidden meaning is, Your Majesty, your father has sold out all the discarded weapons in our inventory. Where can we find so many rusty weapons to give to others now?

Cui Wen, the Minister of Household Affairs, immediately stood up and said:

"Your Majesty, I don't agree with the Minister of War. Since there is no such weapon in stock now, why don't we just get this weapon?

This is not a reason or excuse to watch 150,000 taels of gold without earning anything! "

Liu Jin immediately glared and scolded Cui Wendao:

"Cui Shangshu, I know you want to get money, but you also have to consider reality. Now we don't have this kind of weapon in stock. Where can I get it?

Is it possible to change it? "

Cui Wen immediately started acting rogue, stroking his snow-white beard and saying, "I don't care about you, sir. If this money can't go into the national treasury, then next year's budget for the Ministry of War will be reduced by 30%!"

"Cui Wen! You are shameless! You actually threatened me with the budget of our Ministry of War!"

"No, I don't! The Ministry of Household Affairs has no money, so it can only reduce expenditures. Among them, your Ministry of War's manuscript fees are the largest, so naturally you must reduce the expenses of the Ministry of War first!"

"You fart! You did it on purpose!"

"I don't have it!"

……

As they talked, the two began to yell at each other.

Then other officials from the Ministry of War began to join in the fight, and naturally the Ministry of Household was not to be outdone and started to fight.

The two of the six dignified tribes were so noisy in the court!

Then there was a lot of arguing, and both sides were ready to start fighting.

Seeing that the two sides were already folding their arms and rolling up their sleeves, Zhao Jun finally spoke up to stop them!

"That's enough! What's the fuss about? This is the court!"

Only then did both parties glare at each other and stop their movements angrily.

Seeing that the Ministry of War below was still preparing for war, Zhao Jun rubbed his forehead with a headache.

You still look like you are about to fight, I am here to save you. Even though you are from the Ministry of War, can your physique be compared with those people in the Ministry of Household Affairs who have tall horses and big arms and can run horses?

You will regret it later when someone rubs your hands on the ground.

After rubbing his forehead and gathering his thoughts, Zhao Jun turned to ask the Minister of Industry: "Shi Aiqing, does the Ministry of Industry have a way to make ironware rust quickly?"

Shi Bin, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, looked bitter when he heard this, and he cupped his hands and said:

"Your Majesty, what the Ministry of Industry has always been trying to do is how to prevent ironware from rusting. How to make ironware rust quickly? I really haven't done anything about it!"

Zhao Jun had no choice but to say:

“Can’t you do it if you’ve never done it before?

As the Ministry of Industry is the place with the most exquisite craftsmanship in the world and gathers talented craftsmen from all over the world, I believe this problem will not be difficult for you.

I will give you seven days. During these seven days, your Ministry of Industry will research the technology and then take the holiday. Otherwise, you will not take this annual leave.

Of course, if you can develop the technology, I will give the entire Ministry of Industry a commendation. Everyone in the Ministry will receive three times the salary, and those who develop the technology will receive ten times the salary! "

Seeing a big burden falling on him, Shi Bin, Minister of Industry, had no choice but to raise his hands with a grimace and say: "I accept the order!"

Cui Wen, the Minister of Household Affairs on the side, said with a smile on his face: "If Minister Shi can develop the technology, I guarantee that the Ministry of Industry's budget for this year can be discussed again!"

Shi Bin's spirit suddenly perked up when he heard this. Can we discuss it again?

Does this mean it can go up?

This is related to the interests of the entire Ministry of Industry, do it! Go to death!

Shi Bin immediately felt as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and solemnly replied: "Don't worry, Cui Shangshu, our Ministry of Industry will definitely do our best!"

……

After going to court, Shi Bin ran to the Ministry of Works without stopping.

As soon as he entered the Ministry of Industry, he shouted loudly and called the chief officers of each department over.

When he told everything that happened in the court today, everyone was not only speechless at Zhan Luo's strange request, but they were also excited about the generous reward!

Three times the monthly salary!

The technology research will be ten times better!

The Ministry of Accounts also promised to renegotiate the budget! You have to fight for it no matter what!

Shi Bin sat at the head of the Engineering Department, holding a ruler in his hand, and pointed at the eight characters on the wall behind him: How to Make Iron Rust Quickly, and said to his subordinates with a solemn expression:

“Whether we eat chaff and drink diluted food or eat big fish and meat during the Chinese New Year this year depends on this!

Everyone!

Your Majesty only gave us seven days, seven days! If it succeeds, the whole department will celebrate, and everyone will go home with generous monthly salary to celebrate the New Year. If it fails, everyone will stay at the Ministry of Industry and work overtime!

How to choose you decide!

You also have a strong idea in your mind on how to do it.

What happens next is up to you! "

All the officials from the Ministry of Industry shouted:

"I will work to the death to find a way to quickly rust iron tools!"

"I will work to the death to find a way to quickly rust iron tools!"

"I will work to the death to find a way to quickly rust iron tools!"

……

Soon the news spread throughout the entire Ministry of Industry. When they learned that they could get three times the monthly salary for completing the task, and ten times the salary for themselves, all the craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry went crazy and began to do experiments desperately. .

The entire Ministry of Works was in action, and the New Year celebrations in the palace were already in full swing.

The commotion outside can't disturb the current Ministry of Works at all.

Just when everyone was working hard, finally on the third day, a shout of extreme excitement suddenly sounded in the Ministry of Works workshop!

"Hahahaha! I found a way! Great! I found a way! Hahahahaha!"

The surrounding Ministry of Industry officials quickly came forward to check, and sure enough, right in front of the craftsman, a rusty iron piece was lying quietly on the workbench, appearing in front of everyone.

Everyone in the Ministry of Industry looked at each other for a while. At this time, Shi Bin, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, also received the news and rushed over. He quickly asked: "Have you tried it repeatedly?"

The craftsman quickly took out three different pieces of iron from under the workbench. The only thing that was the same was that these iron pieces were all covered with rust.

"How?"

Shi Bin's lips trembled with excitement uncontrollably.

The craftsman immediately said: "Replying to the minister, we know that most of the rust in the past was caused by being left unused for a long time or being exposed to water, so the ironware would rust.

But these require a long period of time and naturally do not meet the conditions.

But my hometown is a place where salt is boiled by the sea. One time, the pot of salt boiled over in the middle of the night, and someone’s shovel happened to be right next to the pot. When I got up the next day, the shovel was covered with rust. .

When I was young, I thought about replicating the process, and after experimenting, I finally came up with the correct method.

It turns out that as long as the iron is soaked in boiling salt water, the more salt the better, the iron will rust very quickly!

So far, the piece of iron that rusted the fastest took less than half an hour to rust. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the Ministry of Industry suddenly showed joy, and Shi Bin, the Minister of Industry and Industry, hurriedly asked: "Really?"

The craftsman nodded heavily: "Really!"

Shi Bin immediately asked people to prepare, and soon everything was ready. When the hot salt water was poured on a brand-new hoe that he had specially found to soak the entire metal hoe, everyone stared at it without blinking. Hoe changes.

After about half an hour, someone suddenly exclaimed!

"It's happening! It's happening! That hoe is rusty!"

Everyone looked where he pointed, and sure enough they saw a small patch of rust on the hoe, and there were faint signs of expansion!

Everyone looked at each other and then cheered together!

"It's done! It's done! It's done!

March salary! Got it! We can go home for the New Year! Hahahahaha..."
