Emperor Wu finally understood that his sinister son wanted to cut his flesh with a blunt knife.
Whether it was Li Zhao's warehouse or his, money was pouring into it.
Emperor Wu had not earned as much money in most of his life as he had earned in the past six months.
I heard that the wealth of the entire Wu Kingdom family has shrunk by a full 10%.
Don't underestimate this percentage. If it were really converted into wealth, it would be enough to support the Wu Kingdom to fight another national war, and it would be more than enough.
Early next morning.
Zuo Pushe got up with a face full of reluctance. He was old and originally thought that he would wait until Wu Guo had accumulated enough strength to participate in the final battle.
Not to mention seeing the Wu Kingdom dominate the world, at least we should see the Wu Kingdom destroy the remaining one of the Three Kingdoms first.
According to previous estimates, it would not be a problem for him to survive for ten to eight years.
But since Prince You left and was sealed, the number of times he got up early to attend court meetings increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Especially in the second half of the year, it almost reached the point of several times a month.
Zuo Pushe and Chen Shixiu didn't know whether to praise or scold Li Zhao. The old man was old and couldn't stand the trouble anymore.
But none of the things that King You created were worry-free.
When Zuo Pushe went out with dark circles under his eyes and yawned, he missed his mother.
But when he thought about how wise the queen was, he couldn't curse her.
All in all, this feels very unpleasant.
"ha--"
Chen Shixiu yawned, and happened to bump into General Li, who was also yawning and going out with dark circles under his eyes. Both of them felt comfortable immediately.
At least there was someone who couldn't sleep as well as me that night.
"I heard that King You has made another big move this time?" General Li asked, wiping the tears from his eyes due to yawning.
"Hey - the servant's report is ambiguous, I am not sure for the time being." Chen Shixiu shook his head and said: "I heard that once these two artifacts are released, the world will be dominated by me."
Old General Li suddenly became energetic. He was on the march and fighting. Although he was not a civil servant, he also knew how powerful it was.
Although civil servants like to exaggerate and brag, they only brag about the areas they are good at, and they never brag easily if they are not good at it.
How dare this old man say that he can change the world?
Isn't it a battle that changed the world?
As they approached the palace, they met more acquaintances, and everyone seemed to be wearing uniform makeup.
Although they have informants in Jiaozhou, many core information cannot be obtained.
Even though the subordinate's description was vivid and vivid, it is still unclear how true it was when it was transmitted to Kyoto.
What's more important is that many things they have never seen before are described by intelligence personnel, and intelligence personnel cannot describe them. Even if they are described, the listeners cannot imagine them without reference objects.
In short, the person who described it described it very beautifully and shockingly, but the person listening could not imagine it.
In addition, we couldn't meet in person at night, so none of us had a good night's sleep.
After gathering at the palace gate, when the time came, everyone entered as if their buttocks were on fire.
Today is neither a big court meeting nor a small court meeting, it is just a simple day to go to court.
Emperor Wu was sitting high on the throne, looking at the "national treasure" ministers one after another, and couldn't help but feel happy.
As always, the matters that need to be dealt with in the court should be dealt with first. This time, the officials from the three provinces and six ministries simply did it.
It was decided without even giving more time for discussion.
This made a group of fifth- and sixth-grade officials who were hiding at the back and had no say at all, speechless.
If everything in the court had this kind of efficiency, how terrible would the operation of the Wu Kingdom be?
The lower-level officials didn't know why the court bosses were so eager, so they also pricked up their ears to listen.
The Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince, the Sixth Prince and others were also on duty, and they mostly listened to things like this.
Members of the royal family generally do not participate in politics, and at best act as tool men.
But just when the prince and others were concentrating and sighing at the speed of today's efficiency, the fat King of Shu had already taken a step forward and said in an excited voice: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent report in Jiaozhou!"
The eldest prince, sixth prince and others who were just about to take a nap suddenly became energetic. They looked at each other quickly, their heads filled with questions.
No... is there another emergency in Jiaozhou?
Could it be that Li Zhao has come up with something new?
The prince's heart sank even more, and he also spread out the intelligence personnel. Since all the high officials in the court have received the information, why haven't I received it yet?
The prince was as gloomy as water, and his heart was extremely nervous.
When the sixth prince and the prince looked at each other, he already understood that even the East Palace had not received the news.
damn it!
The sixth prince glanced at the fourth prince Li Yan and frowned even more. He was sure that his intelligence personnel would make no mistakes.
Unless someone is causing trouble!
Li Yan has become more and more low-key since he was favored, and this is also the case in the fourth prince's residence. Is he really the one causing the trouble?
Also, what did Li Zhao do?
If this continues, his and Li Yan's status will be untouchable.
The princes are becoming more and more panicked. When their own intelligence personnel cannot collect information, this is an interesting thing.
When the King of Shu came out, the top second- and third-grade officials were almost not surprised. What was surprising was the fourth-grade, fifth-grade, and sixth-grade officials.
"What's the matter?" Emperor Wu was born to like acting. He knew it better than anyone else, but he pretended not to know clearly and had to find King Shu to play with him.
The King of Shu said loudly: "Jiaozhou reported that Youwang Zhao invented two more items, the first one is a pulley block!"
"What group?"
"Pulley block?"
"What is a pulley block?"
All the officials were confused, they had never heard of such words.
The prince, sixth prince and others who were listening carefully were also confused when they heard such incomprehensible words.
This shouldn’t be used in agriculture, right?
As long as it can’t be used in agriculture!
They were a little scared. If Li Zhao continued like this, people all over the world would really respect him as a farmer.
"It should be a small invention!" The sixth prince comforted himself silently.
When the other princes heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The King of Shu has already ordered people to bring the pulley set up.
The civil and military ministers on both sides stretched their necks curiously, wanting to take a look at the new gadget that King You Li Zhao had created.
But as soon as I saw this wheel, which seemed to be nothing special, my interest suddenly disappeared.
It seems that You Wang Li Zhao's talents should have been exhausted.
This thing is probably no better than a threshing machine, a windmill, and a curved shaft plow.
When many officials saw this, they suddenly felt at ease.
The generals glanced at it and found that it didn't seem to have much to do with themselves and the others, so they all withdrew their gazes and prepared to continue to close their eyes and rest.
However, some officials looked suspicious.
Although King You Li Zhao has some faults in his moral conduct and character, benevolent people have different views on benevolence and wise people have different opinions, but it is undeniable that every item invented by Li Zhao is of first-class utility and benefit.
Since Jiaozhou dared to report, he must be fully confident, otherwise he would be bullying the emperor.
When the pulley block was brought to the front, these top men in the court finally saw this artifact clearly.
At first glance, it is unremarkable and has no highlights.
Look again...still unremarkable.
Everyone doesn't understand, is this kind of thing worthy of being discussed in the court?
The King of Shu looked at everyone. These people always cared about eating rather than fighting.
"Your Majesty, this thing looks ordinary, but if it is used and promoted throughout the country, it will completely change the current situation of our military country."
