In the court hall, Di Yuanzheng spoke to Jiang Qiulu.

"Okay, just as General Yi Di said."

"Uncle, these two are the old men of my Great Xia Dynasty."

"If you don't show any affection at all, wouldn't it make the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty feel cold?"

"What's more, it didn't have much impact."

"Just apologize to Ambassador Zhang Zhen and the brothers Jinyiwei."

"You think so, uncle?"

Even if King Yong was making all the decisions in the court, he would not dare to jump out and confront everyone.

In that case, the purpose would be too obvious.

"No!" King Yong reluctantly agreed.

Then, Jiang Qiulu turned his attention to Shen and Chen.

"What do you two dear ladies think?"

How could the two of them not seize such an opportunity?

The two of them could no longer control any planned actions at this moment, and their lives were the most important thing.

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!"

Jiang Qiulu stood up.

"Okay, now that the matter has been explained, there is a solution."

"Then let this end here."

"If in the future, someone comes out with slanderous remarks about the Zhenfu Division."

"I won't be able to control how the brothers of the Zhenfu Division will deal with it."

"Everyone, please step back."

Then everyone breathed a sigh of relief and exited the Jinluan Palace.

Let everyone know about this.

The entire Zhenfu Division is protected by Jiang Qiulu.

Anyone who wants to harm it will do so at their own risk.

Under this pressure, everyone chose to remain silent.

Once the news leaks out and the Jinyi guards come to kill them, the result can be imagined.

Chen Jingming, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and Shen Liancheng, Minister of Dali Temple.

He even disregarded his face and issued a notice to apologize to all the guards.

He also spent tens of thousands of taels of silver out of his own pocket as a sign of sincerity.

This matter is completely over.



After the war, the Great Xia Dynasty was in ruins and waiting to be revitalized.

Since then, it has entered an era of golden development.

Jiang Qiulu has made a lot of profits by relying on wine-making technology and refining refined salt.

In one month, I made a net profit of tens of thousands of taels of silver.

This is only within the scope of Kyoto City.

If these goods are put into other big cities, the profits will skyrocket again.

On this day, Fang Ming, the manager of the production department, came to report in person.

The production department had already rushed to make a batch of the crossbow arrows Jiang Qiulu mentioned overnight.

However, the production of the crossbow is more complicated, and the production department staff took shifts for a month.

Only one thousand were made.

"It's already very fast, Mr. Labor is here."

"Go to the household department to collect a thousand taels of silver and give it to the guys in the work department." Jiang Qiulu said.

Under such motivation, the efficiency of the operation department is faster.

Jiang Qiulu distributed some finished crossbow arrows to the dragon group guards, each of whom had one hand.

Compared with ordinary bows and arrows, crossbows have sights calibrated on them, and their accuracy is greatly improved.

At the same time, an arrow box is installed on top of the crossbow arrows, which can be fired quickly.

It is really the best weapon to carry out secret missions.

The remaining batch of crossbow arrows were handed directly to Di Yunhao.

From then on, there was another mysterious organization in Jinyiwei.

They are called secret guards and are responsible for special tasks.

These secret guard members were all the best ones selected by Di Yunhao personally from tens of thousands of royal guards.

Everyone has extremely strong strength.

Although the number is only 500, the overall strength can defeat an army of 1,000 people.

Like the Black Dragon Army under King Yong, it can basically be easily controlled.

Only Jiang Qiulu and a few confidants knew this secret.

According to the original plan, Jiang Qiulu’s next step will be in agriculture.

Jiang Qiulu directly summoned Liang Feng, the chief minister, to the palace to discuss the matter.

"Your Majesty, in two months, it will be the harvest season."

"At that time, a batch of grain taxes will be paid." Liang Feng said.

Jiang Qiulu carefully looked at the data provided by Liang Feng.

"Master Liang, we have to think of ways to increase crop yields."

"Including but not limited to wheat ears and corn."

"Does Mr. Liang have any suggestions on this?" Jiang Qiulu asked.

"Your Majesty, I have also considered this issue."

"The Jiangnan area has a pleasant climate and a good harvest."

"But in the north, the climate is changeable."

"The harvest is a little ruined."

"Even after some farmers paid the grain tax, they basically had no other sources of food."

Hearing this question, Jiang Qiulu frowned.

If the problem of food and clothing for the people cannot be solved, then grain tax will be a yoke that drags down the people.

Suddenly, Jiang Qiulu had an idea.

"Master Liang, can we use agricultural equipment and other aspects to increase food production?"

Liang Feng really didn't think about this issue.

According to Jiang Qiulu's understanding, most people at that time used the most basic methods to farm.

Even if there are farming equipment, it is the most common straight-shaft plow.

This kind of tool relies on livestock to operate, is difficult to turn, and is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

"Did your Majesty have some wonderful ideas?" Liang Feng asked.

Jiang Qiulu smiled.

"Master Liang, please find a tool for plowing the ground."

"I want to study it carefully." Jiang Qiulu said.

"promise!"

Liang Feng executed it immediately.

In less than a stick of incense, Liang Feng had a farm tool delivered.

As Jiang Qiulu expected, this tool was a straight-shaft plow.

Jiang Qiulu squatted down and fiddled with it carefully.

"Master Liang, please order the plow shaft to be changed from a straight shape to a curved shape."

"And install a turntable device at the head of the shaft." Jiang Qiulu said.

Liang Feng didn't know Jiang Qiulu's intention, but he immediately followed it.

After a series of modifications, Quyuanli was finally formed.

Liang Feng personally tested it and immediately discovered the difference.

The modified curved shaft plow is more flexible than the straight shaft plow and its weight is also reduced.

The specially installed turntable device on the reel head can be easily rotated and is very labor-saving.

It can be said to be a stroke of genius!

So Liang Feng immediately told Jiang Qiulu about the result excitedly.

Jiang Qiulu was very satisfied after seeing the modification was successful.

"Master Liang, if there are no problems, let the villagers use this kind of curved shaft plow for farming next year."

After confirming that it was correct, Jiang Qiulu said.

With everything arranged, Jiang Qiulu finally had some free time.

On this day, Jiang Qiulu was reviewing the memorial in Tai Chi Hall.

Then Di Yunhao brought news.

"Your Majesty, King Jiang is sending a message."

"The fighting on the northern frontline has stopped. We will be back in Kyoto in half a month."

"And King Jiang also said in his letter that he had to visit Tianyang City before that." Di Yunhao said.

Jiang Qiulu nodded.

At this time, the eldest princess was living in Tianyang City.

According to what Li Mingzhi said, the eldest princess has not returned to Kyoto for almost twenty years.

In terms of seniority, this eldest princess is also King Jiang's biological sister and Jiang Qiulu's aunt.

If you remain indifferent, it will appear too indifferent.
