Chapter 274 I'm waiting for your good news

Lin Wushang: "After the death of Daqi, Taoist Qisheng returned to Qingyang Temple, guarding the ruins of the Taoist temple, and atone for his sins by suffering himself.

"Until he picked up Ah Li, he wanted this unrelated granddaughter to live a good life, so he cheered up and made a fortune telling for himself.

"It is predicted that one day one will meet a noble person, and from then on, one's misfortune will be turned into good fortune, and one will be able to achieve good fortune or not."

Lin Xi: "Noble sir, you are talking about me."

Lin Wushang: "..."

She is really not modest at all.

"I pretended not to believe it and made a divination in front of him. You should be able to guess it later."

Lin Xi smiled teasingly, "Then you took the real things you experienced in your previous life and told them as the results of divination. Taoist Master Qisheng probably thought you were a Taoist genius and your divination talent was higher than him."

Lin Wushang didn't feel anything wrong when he did it himself, but when she said it so bluntly, he couldn't help but feel a little warm.

"Ahem, Master Qisheng went to the capital that day and should have arrived by now."

As expected, Lin Wushang received a letter from the capital Qisheng Taoist Priest on the same day.

"He said he had met the emperor and reported that there would be a snowstorm this winter.

"The Emperor was doubtful, but finally decided to believe him and make preparations in advance."

Lin Xi: "The emperor cannot bear the consequences of disbelief. If there is even a chance of such a thing, he will not let it go.

"The key is whether those ministers are willing to believe it. If the ministers are not willing to believe it and cooperate to fight the snow disaster, then this matter will not be easy to handle."

Royal Palace.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

early morning.

The emperor first named Taishi Lingweishengjing.

"Tai Shi ordered me to observe the sky at night recently. Did you find anything?"

Wei Shengjing came out of the queue and bowed with his hands in hand: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Purple Wei Star has been shining brightly recently, surrounded by stars. It is an auspicious sign and there is nothing wrong with it."

Emperor: "Really? But how come I heard that a disaster will befall this winter?"

Wei Shengjing: "Your Majesty, who is deceiving the public with his monstrous words? The Yong Kingdom is peaceful and the people are safe, and the weather is smooth. How can disaster happen? This must be someone with arrogant ambitions who deliberately spreads rumors!"

Emperor: "Do you remember, Taoist Master Qisheng? He came to see me a few days ago and said that he had made a divination. This winter there would be a severe snow disaster that was rare in a hundred years. Didn't Taishi Ling see anything from the stars? ?”

Wei Shengjing: "Your Majesty, that Taoist priest is just alarmist, just to make you reuse him. You must not be deceived by this evil way."

Emperor: "What do you think?"

As the emperor's number one supporter, Wei Jiusi, the left prime minister, was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, I think it is better to believe that this kind of thing happened than to believe that it did not happen. Otherwise, once the snow disaster really happens, it will be too late to regret it."

Pei Xingjian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments: "Yes, people are prone to death in winter. If there is another heavy snow disaster that is rare in a hundred years, I don't know how many people will die by then. We must make preparations in advance!"

The Minister of Rites was about to stand up and object when he suddenly heard of the Zhongshu order, and Li Xuelin, the new right prime minister and the head of the aristocratic family officials, spoke out.

"I think Prime Minister Zuo's words are reasonable."

Minister of Rites: "..."

Minister of the Ministry of Officials: "..."

Officials from other aristocratic families: "..."

No, Lord Zhongshu Ling, why did you rebel?
Aren’t we supposed to oppose the Imperial Party’s political views to the end?
Li Xuelin's appearance caught all the officials from the aristocratic families by surprise.

Immediately afterwards, another official named Li stood up: "I second the proposal."

"My minister agrees."

Emperor: "Since all the ministers agree, then we, the monarchs and ministers, will work together to overcome this difficulty."

other people:"?"

When did we agree?

However, the emperor's attitude was already obvious, and the two civil servants leaders also agreed. What else could they say?

Is it useful if they object?

"Wei Qing, Li Qing, Pei Qing..." After going to court, the emperor called several people's names in succession, "You come with me." This was a small meeting in private.

When the empire's machine started to run, all Lin Xi had to do was provide some help within her ability.

"This is the distribution map of coal mines. Coal is a good fuel. Try to mine as much as possible before the snow disaster comes. The more people who can use coal, the fewer people will die by then."

She handed Lin Wushang a rough map, which only marked the location of the coal mine, and the rest was blank.

"This is the design drawing of the mine drainage device (pumping steam engine). When mining coal mines, it is easy for water to accumulate in the mine. The water needs to be drained out in time, otherwise mining will not be possible."

"This is the design drawing of the miner's lamp. With it, the miners will not be blinded in the mine tunnel. The metal cover outside the lamp is very important and must not be missing. Otherwise, when the candle burns, the gas in the mine tunnel will It was ignited and an explosion occurred..."

Lin Xi drew these design drawings in great detail, and she did not just talk about it on paper. She had actually operated and perfected it in the system space again and again beforehand.

It is not until the actual object can be manufactured according to the design drawing that the final design drawing is determined.

Afraid that the craftsman would not be able to understand it if he got it, she explained some key points to Lin Wushang in detail.

"Are there any questions? If there is no problem, you can take it to the emperor."

At this time, the benefits of Lin Xi having given Lin Wushang so many lessons were reflected.

He could basically understand and understand some of the professional terms that popped up during her explanation.

Even if he doesn't understand, he will understand once she explains it.

Teaching to such smart students is a worry-free experience.

The precise drawings are light and airy in the hand, but their actual value is as heavy as a mountain.

Lin Wushang bowed deeply towards Lin Xi.

"It is a great kindness that I cannot thank you enough. Please accept my bow."

Lin Xi waved her finger: "Thank you early. I didn't give these things for nothing. I have conditions."

Lin Wushang straightened up and said, "Say."

Lin Xi: “First, I want [-]% of the coal mined from these coal mines.

“Second, I want Yun Jingze.

"Third, I want the emperor to establish a new patent department in the court to register various new inventions.

“For example, the pumping steam engine I gave you, as its inventor, after I register it with the Patent Department, others are not allowed to copy it.

"Once discovered, plagiarists need to be punished by law. If they really want to use it, they need to pay me a patent fee.

"On these three conditions for the time being, you can help me negotiate with the emperor. If we fail to negotiate... the consequences will be serious."

Lin Wushang: "Okay, I'll try my best to help you negotiate."

After a pause, he asked: "You handed all these drawings to me, aren't you afraid that I will leak them?"

Lin Xi took out another drawing, "Do you know what this is?"

Knowing that he would definitely not be able to guess it, she asked and answered herself: "A cannon is a heavy-duty thermal weapon that can shatter city walls with one shot, and kill hundreds of cavalry with one shot..."

Lin Wushang suddenly changed color.

Lin Xi smiled slightly, with confidence and ambition that looked down upon the world.

“I still have a lot of this kind of stuff in my mind, so what’s important is me as a person, not the few drawings I took out.

"I believe you are a smart person and will not be short-sighted and make a wrong decision that you will regret for the rest of your life just for the sake of immediate profit."

Lin Wushang's heart beat violently.

"Cannons, thermal weapons... are so destructive, once they are taken out, they will definitely cause death."

Lin Xi: "You are wrong, it is never the weapons that cause the destruction of living beings, but the people and the endless desires of the superiors.

"Okay, you go ahead, I'm waiting for your good news."

Lin Wushang took one last deep look at the cannon drawings she placed casually on the table, then turned and left.

Went to negotiate with the emperor for her.
