Chapter 803 Whimsical
Rong Jiu also looked at Emperor Chu.

If there were only Yuan Gang and Ruan Jing today, they could have ransacked their families and exterminated their clans, but half of the ministers were involved. If so many people were dealt with at once, if the vacancies could not be filled in time, the government might be in chaos.

Emperor Chu understood what she meant, glanced coldly at those ministers, and said with a sneer: "You dear ministers are really my virtuous ministers."

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

Although the loss is heavy, the head is still there, and the black hat on the head is still there, and there is a chance to earn it back in the future.

After the rice grain issue was settled, the ministers felt a little relieved. Emperor Chu asked Rong Jiu: "There is a severe drought in Qinzhou, Xiao Jiu, what is your plan?"

"Build water conservancy."

A simple sentence, but instantly set off a huge wave, and the ministers immediately objected.

"Building water conservancy in Qinzhou, is the princess joking?"

"It must be such a huge project, it will cost people and money, and it may not be possible to build aqueducts."

"Thinking of building water conservancy in Qinzhou is simply whimsical."

But Chu Xun said: "How does Xiao Jiu plan to build water conservancy?"

Rong Jiu smiled lightly: "The water is diverted from Yunling Mountain, passing through the entire Qinzhou, and a dam is built for every section of the canal to store water."

The rice grain incident nearly ruined the Yuan family. Yuan Gang hated Rong Jiu to death. As soon as Rong Jiu finished speaking, he questioned: "Even if the water is brought down from Yunling Mountain, it will take time and effort to excavate the mountain and dig rocks. Waiting for the princess to bring water down , the people of Qinzhou starved to death."

Regarding Yuan Gang's sarcasm, Rong Jiu was not angry, but asked, "I don't know what good strategy Master Yuan has to solve the drought in Qinzhou?"

Yuan Gang was speechless, Rong Jiu looked at Emperor Chu with a smile: "Father, you still remember that I have said that I will give you a surprise."

"Gunpowder!" Emperor Chu excitedly said.

"Yes, it is gunpowder. Black gunpowder is extremely powerful. It is many times faster than digging rocks. No matter how hard the rocks are, they can be blown to pieces. The canal can be repaired in about half a year. When the time comes, the water can be repaired again." In rushing places, set up bobbins, even if there is a severe drought, there is no fear of running out of water to irrigate the farmland.”

In the past few days, there have been loud noises from the Princess Mansion. It turned out that they were developing gunpowder. If Rong Jiu really developed an extremely powerful gunpowder, then the construction of dams and canals will be just around the corner.

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were still immersed in shock, and suddenly there was an excited voice.

"Tube cart?" Sun Shangshu raised his voice abruptly, not caring whether the imperial court was disrespectful, and excitedly said, "But the waterwheel on the princess farm?"

Rong Jiu nodded.

The blood in Sun Shangshu's whole body was boiling: "Your Majesty, the bobbin cart made by the princess can automatically draw water and irrigate hundreds of acres in one day and night. , our Southern Chu will surely become more prosperous."

Yesterday, the people rushed to tell each other that it had been introduced to Chang'an, and many ministers had also heard about it.

In just a few days, the black gunpowder was developed and the barrel car was made. Could it be that the nine princesses are really the reincarnation of gods.

Many ministers looked at Rong Jiu differently, as if they were on a pilgrimage.

Rong Jiu felt goosebumps all over the place, and smiled with the corners of his mouth: "I just drew a few blueprints, which were all slowly figured out by the son-in-law."

Sun Shangshu still couldn't hide his excitement, he cupped his hands to Shen Cheng and said, "Master Shen, after the court, can I ask you a question or two."

Shen Cheng nodded and smiled: "The matter of the bobbin cart was originally reported to His Majesty, and then the Ministry of Industry will have to be bothered."

If he was not still in court, Sun Shangshu would have dragged him back to the Ministry of Industry.
