Yes, why did you worry so much just now? This guy is extremely lazy. If you let him do this, wouldn't it be like killing him? Just let him come out and object on his own. It's really too easy to worry about.
Zhao Gao was speechless this time and could only turn his head to look at His Majesty.
Ying Wushuang finally said: "Just put your name on it and find a deputy governor to exercise his authority."
Aiya, I go? The ministers were very confused. What are you doing? Let’s not talk about whether this thing will work. Even if it works, why don’t you let him find a deputy to do the work and go on alone? Then can I, as an official, find a deputy and receive my salary myself?
Immediately, someone jumped out to object: "Your Majesty, how can we set such a precedent? Such a situation will inevitably lead to chaos in the court. I am firmly opposed to this, and please take back your order!"
Ying Wushuang glanced at him: "Chen Taipu, I remember that you are in charge of horse administration, but Da Qin's war horses are never enough, and the losses are even worse. How do you solve it?"
Chen He's eyes turned black at that time. This is true. He was also very anxious. On the one hand, Great Qin's war horses were already in short supply. On the other hand, the treasury funds did not allow it. And most importantly, war horses lost at least 30% every year due to hoof wear. However, There was nothing he could do.
Seeing that he was silent, Ying Wushuang turned to look at Jiang Fan: "I heard that you snatched five hundred pieces of blood from King Zuo Xian at one time. Is this true?"
All the officials were immediately surprised. The sweat-blooded horse was so precious. If it could be bred with the Qin horse, the quality of the war horse would be greatly improved. This is a great good thing.
Jiang Fan smiled. He didn't say anything about this. The plan was to use it for special forces, and he only planned to give those stallions to the empress. I didn't expect her to mention it here.
He had no choice but to respond: "Yes..."
Well, it seems that I can't keep it, so I can only think about how to keep more.
Chen He looked dumbfounded. It's really hard to compare people to death, but it's still better to compare goods. After decades of hard work, I didn't get a single horse. Someone just walked around and got five hundred horses. What can I say? I'm speechless.
The empress added: "I heard that you can also solve the problem of horse hoof wear? Is this possible?"
Now the whole room was even more shocked.
This problem has been troubled for thousands of years, probably because the horseshoes wear out too quickly, and a large number of war horses are lost due to this problem. And King Xiaoyao can actually solve it?
For a moment, all eyes were focused on Jiang Fan.
Jiang Fan's helpless slander, I really can't chat with you too much, I don't know when you will throw it out.
But in this situation, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and reply: "Yes..."
Gao Rong's eyes narrowed: "This matter is important. If you can solve it, I will recognize you as the Governor of the Ministry of Works."
The empress ignored him and just said to Jiang Fan: "Tell me. How long will it be extended and how much will it cost?"
This is also the issue that the ministers are most concerned about.
Jiang Fan had no choice but to stand up, thought for a moment and said, "If I don't die of old age due to injury, I can keep riding..."
I go! None of the ministers believe it anymore. Are you too confident?
But what Jiang Fan said next made them feel that this matter was simply nonsense.
"As for the cost...each horse is about...ten cents."
"What?" Everyone present looked in complete disbelief.
For ten cents, you can solve the problem of horse hoof wear? Do you think we are all fools?
Before they could publicly refute it, the Empress said, "Seriously?"
Jiang Fan nodded, "Seriously."
The empress said: "How long will it take?"
Jiang Fan calculated: "Within a year, all the war horses can be solved. If you just want to see a demonstration of the finished product... I already have it in my house. You can go and have a look when you are free."
There was an uproar.
He means it has been solved.
"This...this...is such a thing really happening? Why didn't the prince tell me earlier?"
A military commander said tremblingly.
Don't blame him, the news was shocking.
Jiang Fan scratched his head: "I didn't think of it until I got the sweat and blood on my hands. Do you blame me?"
The general suddenly said solemnly: "If this matter is true, your prince will be able to achieve extraordinary feats."
As a military commander, he can better understand the importance of this matter.
Several military bosses also expressed their agreement with surprise.
"Oh, by the way." Jiang Fan suddenly remembered something: "Not only the horse's hooves, I also made a set of things that can allow people to free their hands and move around on the horse without falling off..."
At this time, even several military bosses couldn't sit still.
The cavalry can move freely on the horse without being distracted. This achievement is no less important than the matter of the horse's hooves.
"Do you have this one?" Wang Jian walked up to Jiang Fan and asked eagerly.
"Yes, I just put it on a sweaty BMW."
"The cost of this thing..."
"Ah, this is quite expensive. Ordinary materials cost about a hundred yuan..."
"One, one hundred coins?" Wang Jian's eyes widened.
"Ah, right, I just said this is quite expensive..."
"The normal function is exactly the same?"
Jiang Fan said: "Yes, this thing is just like the difference between gold chopsticks and bamboo chopsticks, they can be used equally, right?"
Wang Jian was so excited that he was a little incoherent: "This... Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
The empress waved her hand gently and looked at Chen He again: "What do you think, your servant?"
Chen He was confused for a long time, secretly cursing himself for looking for trouble, and finally repaired the relationship with the prince through the Yuwen family. What are you doing jumping out now? Not to mention the slap in the face, I'm afraid it would still create a gap in the prince's heart.
"If this matter is true, Your Majesty has made great achievements for our great Qin Dynasty. I sincerely request your Majesty to reward you generously."
He quickly expressed his opinion, hoping to regain his goodwill.
But Jiang Fan was dissatisfied: "You should insist on it, I can't push it anymore."
The empress seemed to want Jiang Fan and couldn't push him away: "King Xiaoyao can increase steel production a hundred times."
Shocked all officials again.
However, the empress did not give them a chance to discuss. Zi Gu Zi said: "The curved shaft plow can increase farming ten times."
This is a fact. Qu Yuuli has come out and almost all officials have verified it. The officials in charge of farming were so happy that they didn't sleep well for several days and kept writing letters to the prince asking for rewards.
The empress seemed not to be finished yet, and continued: "It is possible to mass-produce a sword that is a hundred times better than the current standard equipment, and it will be popularized by the entire Qin army in three years."
There was another uproar, and all the officials were almost numb from shock today.
Speaking of this matter, Commander Meng Ao burst into laughter, "I testify on this matter. The sample has been given to me. I can blow the hair off and cut off the existing weapons like chopping melons and vegetables."
Naturally, no one doubts what the old marshal said. If this is the case, how much higher will the combat power of Da Qin's cavalry have to be improved?
Hundreds of people gasped together. This was the first time Jiang Fan had seen this scene. It was quite spectacular.
The Empress Yun Danfengqing said: "When it comes to craftsmen, King Xiaoyao is unparalleled in the world. When it comes to merchants, King Xiaoyao is even better than craftsmen. In three years, the Great Qin treasury will more than triple. Do you want me to list all the matters involved?"
The whole audience was speechless. Whatever they said, they were all so shocked that they lost their souls.
Many people looked at the young prince as if he were looking at a ghost.
Gao Rong is no exception.
"……Deserved!"
I don’t know how long ago an old minister made this assertion with great emotion.
