After Lu Yuan finished speaking, Gu Qingwan, who was about to leave, suddenly froze on the spot.
Afterwards, Gu Qingwan immediately looked back at Lu Yuan, with an expression of surprise and anger on her face.
I knew this little thing wouldn't do such a stupid thing.
But why didn’t this little thing say anything just now? !
Let yourself worry in vain! !
What do you mean, you little thing just likes to see your sister make a fool of herself, right? ! !
Gu Qingwan, who was about to leave, immediately returned to the throne, and then said quickly:
"What?!
Bring it up quickly! "
Gu Qingwan just said that it was her privilege to know what Lu Yuan was doing.
Now that Gu Qingwan said this, it seemed that the secret was revealed.
However, this is not important.
No one would take what Gu Qingwan said just now seriously.
When the people in the cabinet listened to Lu Yuan's words and saw the serious look on Lu Yuan's face now, they couldn't help but feel a little bit in their hearts.
Can't? ?
After all... Lu Yuan's workshop was investigated by the cabinet.
The people who came back this time said that there is a steam engine inside.
During this time, everyone also knew what a steam engine was for, and it was what replaced the spiritual power core.
Steam engines and spiritual power cores are completely contradictory.
What is Lu Yuan studying?
And Lu Yuan didn't do anything, so he thought he would ask someone to notify the armory.
…
Half an hour later.
In the courtyard in front of Taihe Palace.
Gu Qingwan's throne was moved out, and the ministers also came out of the Taihe Palace and stood in the palace.
In the center is an ore refiner.
Of course, in the eyes of ministers and Gu Qingwan, anything of similar length is considered a steam engine.
At this time, Lu Yuan was adding coal and boiling water.
After all these things were done, Lu Yuan came to Gu Qingwan and said:
"I'm working on this thing recently, and it's called an ore refiner."
Ore refiner?
No one knew what it was for, but from the straightforward name, they could guess something.
Lu Yuan didn't show off, and said directly:
"It is the spiritual stone that is refined from our current spiritual power core, which can exert greater effectiveness of the spiritual power core."
As Lu Yuan spoke, he took out a twenty-kilogram spiritual stone from a basket.
This spirit stone was just refined yesterday.
The previous spiritual stones were basically refined today and used directly for testing the next day, and they were all used up.
After Lu Yuan took out the spiritual stone, he handed it directly to Gu Qingwan.
The surrounding ministers also stretched their necks and stood on tiptoe to see.
In the eyes of everyone, there is nothing special about this thing.
After all, these ministers don't usually deal with spiritual cores.
It just feels like the piece of spiritual power core that Lu Yuan took out seems to be darker in color, and it is extremely square and neat, and there is nothing else.
Gu Qingwan couldn't figure out why, but after taking a few glances, she looked at Lu Yuan and said curiously:
"Is this...refined?"
Lu Yuan nodded directly and said:
"Yes, this is made of two hundred kilograms of spiritual power cores, which were refined and recombined from scattered spiritual power cores. These days, I have been testing the effectiveness of the refined spiritual power cores.
Two hundred kilograms of spiritual power core can be refined into twenty kilograms of spiritual stone, and these twenty kilograms of spiritual stone can exert the effectiveness of six hundred kilograms of spiritual power core. "
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, everyone around him blinked.
What Lu Yuan said was a bit convoluted.
However, after a few seconds, a look of astonishment appeared on everyone's faces.
hiss……
To put it bluntly...
Isn't it just that two hundred kilograms of spiritual nuclear energy can be turned into six hundred kilograms? ! !
Directly triple the performance? ! !
The three spiritual power mines of the Great Zhou Dynasty were directly transformed into nine? ! !
At this time everyone was confused.
Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan who looked proud in front of him and blinked.
Suddenly, Gu Qingwan couldn't help but want to put Lu Yuan into her arms and give him a good rub.
This Lu Yuan... Why is this Lu Yuan always able to do things that are true to his heart! ! !
At this time, Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan, the love in her eyes completely overflowing.
Everyone looked at the current Lu Yuan, then at Gu Qingwan who looked at Lu Yuan with clear eyes, and then at the confused cabinet.
I immediately understood that there was going to be something good to watch next.
At this time, the people in the cabinet were completely confused.
no……
There is such a thing in Lu Yuan's workshop, why didn't the people who went to investigate it tell him about it when they came back? !
But if you think about it carefully, it's true...
How can I say this!
After all, no one knows these things that Lu Yuan is tinkering with! !
It's such a weird thing, and the people who investigate it don't know what an ore refiner is...
I thought it was another type of steam engine...
At the same time, Lu Yuan continued to look at Gu Qingwan and said:
"In addition, the spiritual power cores sold in my shop are actually waste materials produced during refining.
Although that thing looks like a spiritual power core, it actually has no effect.
It just looks good. I thought it would be a waste to just throw it away, so I took it home directly. It’s really me..."
Before Lu Yuan could finish speaking, Gu Qingwan raised her head and said:
"You don't want to admit your mistake, do you? I didn't say you were wrong. What mistake are you admitting?"
The next second, Gu Qingwan looked directly at Yan Chonghui and the others.
The three people were startled, and then they knelt down with a thud.
Then all kinds of talk started.
First, congratulations to Lu Yuan for proving his innocence, and then congratulations to the Zhou Dynasty.
Finally, he said that the three of them had good intentions and were helping the emperor to straighten out the government.
There are a lot of Biliba.
However, this matter is just like the aggressiveness of these three people just now.
No matter what the three people said just now, they wanted to raid Lu Yuan's house, but Gu Qingwan wouldn't listen.
Likewise, these three people pick themselves clean no matter how hard they try.
Gu Qingwan wouldn't listen either.
Immediately, Gu Qingwan looked at Kang Lin Feihan and said with a face:
"Hearing the wind is like rain. You have wronged a loyal minister and even advocated confiscation of your home. What do you think should be done about Kang Cifu?"
Kang Linfei knelt on the ground and swallowed.
He just started trembling and said:
"I am willing to punish..."
However, as soon as Kang Linfei spoke, Gu Qingwan waved her hand and said directly:
"Forgive me. This is your first offender and you have been working diligently before, so I won't be punished."
No punishment?
It would be strange if there is no punishment.
Everyone knows that this is just the prelude, and the main event will come next.
As expected, Gu Qingwan's next sentence was:
"I remember that Kojisuke is sixty-five years old this year. He is indeed a bit older, so it is inevitable that he will be confused sometimes.
But the position of the Second Assistant to the Cabinet is extremely important. Kang Second Assistant is old and unable to do what he does, so he takes a rest. I think there is a vacancy in the Imperial Academy..."
Before Gu Qingwan finished speaking, Kang Linfei couldn't help but said excitedly:
"His Majesty……"
However, Gu Qingwan did not give any chance, she just raised her head slightly and said:
"How, what else do you want to distinguish?!"
Kang Linfei didn't dare to say anything after being interrupted by Gu Qingwan's cold voice.
Can't say anything.
Naturally, Yan Chonghui and Yan Shijin didn't want Kang Lin to fly away. The emperor wanted to tear down the cabinet.
but……
What happened today was really unexpected.
No one can afford to wrongly accuse a loyal minister...
Gu Qingwan continued:
"If the vacant position of Secondary Assistant is not filled, I will re-appoint it at another date."
Afterwards, Gu Qingwan stopped looking at the people in the cabinet. Instead, she stood up and looked at the ministers around her and said:
"Today, the prince returns to the court victoriously, and Lu Yuan has invented a machine that doubles the effectiveness of the spiritual power core. It is such a happy event that we should rejoice with the people!"
"Besides, there have been many happy events this year, both in terms of food and railways. The Ministry of Rites has designated today as the National Day of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
I will take a three-day vacation today, and I will do it every year from now on. "
After Gu Qingwan finished speaking, the Minister of Rites below was startled, and then he immediately came out and knelt down to respond loudly.
And after this was said, it was not over yet.
The next second, Gu Qingwan looked at the Minister of Rites in front of him and said:
"Three days later, a celebration will be held in the imperial city, and Baron Lu Yuan will be promoted to earl. The Ministry of Ceremonies will organize it together."
The Minister of Rites was startled, and then immediately agreed.
After Gu Qingwan finished speaking, she glanced at Yan Chonghui next to her.
At this time, Yan Chonghui immediately lowered his head, not daring to talk nonsense about being inconsistent with the ancestral system and not being able to advance to the next level.
at the same time.
Lu Yuan's ore refiner is also finished.
Lu Yuan poured a basket of broken spiritual cores directly into the ore refiner.
About ten minutes later, a square piece of spiritual stone weighing twenty kilograms was refined.
The ministers looked at the scene in front of them and clicked their tongues in amazement.
This thing is not just as simple as doubling the effectiveness of the spiritual power core.
The key is that some scattered spiritual cores can be recast!
This is an indirect increase in production!
Immediately, Gu Qingwan directly ordered the Ministry of Industry to open a new factory for this ore refiner.
All of these were ordered by Gu Qingwan one by one.
It lasted until half past three in the afternoon.
This time the big court meeting was dismissed.
Gu Qingwan walked down from the throne and came to the official minister with a cold face.
At this time, the official minister knew that something bad was going on and knelt down directly.
Gu Qingwan didn't say much, she just said with a cold face:
"Take care of your people!"
The official minister lowered his head and said quickly:
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Afterwards, Gu Qingwan looked at Lu Yuan who was standing there again and said:
"You come with me."
After saying that, Gu Qingwan turned around and walked towards Chonghua Hall.
After Lu Yuan was stunned for a moment, he glanced at Yan Chonghui and the others, and immediately followed them.
Yan Chonghui and the others also looked at Lu Yuan.
In the end, Lu Yuan didn't say anything and just followed Gu Qingwan's mighty honor guard in front.
Yan Chonghui and the others looked at Lu Yuan's figure and swallowed slightly.
This kid is twenty-two years old, born in 1998. I really can't play with him.
…
On the way to Chonghua Palace, Lu Yuan looked around, where was Gu Lie?
Shouldn't Gu Lie come together at this time?
He didn't even see Gu Lie.
Even if I'm afraid of my sister, I'm not afraid of being like this.
After all, Gu Lie didn't do much.
This time it was also successful.
Lu Yuan shook his head and wondered where Gu Lie had gone.
However, as soon as they arrived at Chonghua Hall, Gu Lie hurried over with a look of pride on his face.
"Brother, you are so awesome!!"
As soon as Gu Lie arrived, he looked at Lu Yuan and said loudly with admiration.
Lu Yuan knew that Gu Lie was talking about the ore refining device, but Lu Yuan didn't respond. He just looked at Gu Lie with a strange expression and said:
"What are you doing?"
Gu Lie, on the other hand, said with a mysterious smile:
"We'll find out later."
Lu Yuan looked at Gu Lie with a strange expression, wondering what evil this boy was holding back.
The two people entered the hall.
Gu Qingwan was already sitting on the throne.
Um……
It looks like...
Gu Qingwan's current mood doesn't seem to be very good...
At this time, Gu Qingwan's face was as cold as frost, staring at the two people talking and laughing below.
"Have you said enough, laughed enough?"
Gu Qingwan looked at the two people below expressionlessly and said coldly.
Gu Lie looked at his sister like this, and the smile disappeared from his face in an instant.
The next second he stood up with a serious look on his face, and his face changed so quickly!
And Lu Yuan also stood up immediately.
Although he has a very good relationship with Gu Qingwan, but hey, this person needs to be discerning.
Now that Gu Qingwan is angry, she needs to be serious.
Who is the emperor?
Although, Lu Yuan is a little confused now about whom Gu Qingwan is doing this to.
After all, Gu Lie definitely didn't make any mistakes. He just came back.
Could it be because of myself? ?
But the problem is...hasn't this been explained clearly...
Before Lu Yuan could figure it out, Gu Qingwan suddenly slammed the table.
After this sound.
Gu Lie instantly knelt on the ground and shouted in a panic:
"Sister, I was wrong!"
Gu Qingwan: "???"
Gu Qingwan looked at her younger brother in confusion.
He looked at Gu Lie in confusion and said:
"What did you do again?!"
Gu Lie blinked, looked up at his sister, and then said in confusion:
"I didn't... didn't do anything..."
Gu Qingwan frowned and looked at Gu Lie and said:
"Then what mistake are you admitting?"
Gu Lie blinked again.
Oh~
Not myself.
The next second, Gu Lie stood up and said with a smile:
"No... weren't you scared just now..."
After Gu Qingwan rolled her eyes at Gu Lie, she looked at Lu Yuan.
At this moment, Lu Yuan blinked and realized that if this wasn't Gu Lie, then wouldn't his mother be him? ?
Before Lu Yuan could react, Gu Qingwan gritted her teeth and looked at Lu Yuan and said:
"If this is the case, why didn't you tell me earlier what was written there, and why did you wait until I was done messing around with those people?
What do you mean, you have to see me make a fool of myself like a scoundrel, right? ! "
Gu Qingwan became angry just thinking about the scene just now.
You should have told me if you were okay!
The situation was urgent at that time, and Gu Qingwan had no time to think of other countermeasures, so she could only bite the bullet and make blind decisions.
If Lu Yuan was really greedy about this, he might as well forget it.
Gu Qingwan was not angry anymore.
But the problem is that this guy is not greedy at all.
You're not greedy. Why didn't you come out and say it earlier?
You deliberately want to see your sister make a fool of yourself, right? !
Lu Yuan was startled, oh~ so he was angry because of this.
Immediately, Lu Yuan also shrugged and said:
"No, I was confused at the time. My shop just opened yesterday, and today they came to buy the clothes in the shop.
I was stunned at the time, and I never came back to my senses. "
Gu Qingwan gritted her teeth and rolled her eyes at Lu Yuan.
Before Gu Qingwan could say anything, the door was pushed open, and the eunuch beside Gu Qingwan immediately walked in and said in a panic:
"Your Majesty, Kang Linfei was beaten on the way back. Now some of Kang Linfei's disciples in the court are carrying Kang Linfei to ask for an explanation!"
Gu Qingwan was stunned and looked at Gu Lie beside him.
Gu Qingwan thought with her heels that it was her younger brother who did this.
Suddenly, Gu Qingwan had a headache.
Gritting his teeth and looking at Lu Yuan and Gu Lie below, he said:
“None of you two can make me worry!!
Hide in the side hall! ! "
