"Qiu Jing, are you serious about this? If you dare to lie to me, you know what will happen!" Qiu Jing said coldly.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this old slave will never dare to deceive Your Highness. This matter has been witnessed by the late Emperor. When your father made the engagement for you, this old slave was with the Late Emperor. He saw it with his own eyes and heard it with his own ears!" Qiu Jing said quickly.

Su Che nodded. It's interesting to say that. It turns out that he has a daughter-in-law whom he is married to, but he just doesn't know if this daughter-in-law is good-looking or not?

"I ask you, have you ever seen this Yu Qingmiao?"

"Back to the prince, I have never seen him before." Qiu Jing said with some embarrassment.

In ancient times, the daughters of wealthy families basically stayed at home. Besides, Song De stayed in the palace all day long, so it was understandable that he had not seen her.

"Then what does Tian Yuehou look like?" Su Che asked again.

Mentioning Tianyuehou, Qiu Jing immediately showed admiration: "Tianyuehou, he is eight feet tall, has a strong back and a strong waist, and has a lot of strength. His appearance is so majestic and domineering, it is like a demon god coming to the world!"

The corner of Su Che's mouth twitched. It sounded like Tian Yue Hou was another humanoid Titan, and he didn't look very good!

If he was handsome, then Qiu De would definitely not describe him so ambiguously.

Presumably, the daughter born from such a life will not fare well. Maybe she will still be a dinosaur. Isn’t Cai Wenji sweet?

Well, it’s okay if you don’t want this father-in-law!

Thinking of this, Su Che immediately said: "This matter is a grudge from the previous generation. Dad has never told this king, so there is no need to mention it again. Eunuch Qiu, you have been tired all the way, so follow me back to Southern Xinjiang City to rest. , and then set off back to Beijing!"

Upon hearing this, Qiu De naturally understood that Su Che was determined not to send troops. Although he still had a lot to say, he finally swallowed it and followed the team angrily.

The journey was escorted by the Xuanjia Army, so it was smooth sailing. Su Che and his party returned to Nanjiang City smoothly.

After Su Che asked Cai Wenji to settle down with Mingxue, he planned to take a nap. After all, he was too tired last night!

At this moment, the housekeeper came to report that Jia Yu was outside the palace asking for an audience. Su Che had no choice but to call him in. It happened that Su Che also had something to explain to him.

Soon, Jia Yu came to Su Che under the leadership of the housekeeper, and immediately saluted: "Jia Yu, the lower official, has met the prince. Due to busy government affairs, he did not have time to go out of the city to meet the prince. Please forgive me!"

Su Che smiled slightly: "Master Jia, there is no need to be polite. Master Jia, the court has ordered us to send troops north. What do you think of this matter?"

Su Che asked this because he wanted to test Jia Yu to see if he was an official from Daqian or Southern Xinjiang.

Jia Zheng frowned and thought over and over again: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. There are two reasons why Your Majesty cannot send troops. First, King Zhenhu has united with the northern barbarians and is very powerful. It is said that he has half a million people under his command. Although our southern border is strong, we cannot be aggressive with it. Besides, we have many cavalry in our southern border and there are many mountains and forests in the north, which is not conducive to cavalry attack. It may be inappropriate to send troops hastily."

Su Che nodded. Jia Yu's analysis was quite accurate: "Continue talking."

"Secondly, the court has now changed its emperor. It is said that the eldest princess Wang Shiliu has ascended the throne. It is not allowed for a woman to become emperor. The court will be defeated and the sky will be destroyed. Our southern border should preserve our strength and recruit troops. When the time is right, the army will go north and unify The world!"

As soon as these words came out, Su Che looked at Jia Yu with a somewhat meaningful look.

Unifying the world is a treasonous statement, and it is to kill the nine tribes. Jia Yu can say it without hesitation, obviously showing her loyalty to Su Che!

It seems that this guy's heart is still towards southern Xinjiang.

"Well, I understand. By the way, have you found the yard I asked you to find last time?" Su Che asked.

"Going back to the prince, the official transfer has been completed. The courtyard is next to the prince's palace. It used to be the residence of a wealthy gentleman. However, this wealthy gentleman was involved with Li Yicheng and his house has been ransacked. The prince can use it at any time." Jia Yu said.

Su Che smiled slightly. Su Che didn't know whether that wealthy gentleman was really related to Li Yicheng, but Jia Yu's efficiency did make Su Che very satisfied.

What Su Che wants is the result, it doesn't matter what the process is.

I have to say that Jia Yu is a quick-witted and quick-witted guy who is indeed a capable assistant.

"The reason why I asked you to find the yard is because I plan to build an armory that specializes in creating inventions and building military equipment. I have already found the craftsmen. I will ask them to report this afternoon. You will be fully responsible for this armory. , this is the drawing that I made recently, take a look!"

With that said, Su Che handed over all "Methods for Making Wuhou's Chariot", "Methods for Refining Salt", "Methods for Making Cement", and "Design Drawings of Zhuge Liannu" to Jia Yu.

Jia Yu also looked at it carefully out of curiosity, but the more she looked at it, the bigger her eyes widened.

If this thing called cement can really be produced, then the city walls in Southern Xinjiang will become extremely strong, and all 382 cities in Southern Xinjiang will be turned into iron cities!

Jia Yu also thought that this cement could also be used to pave roads and make official roads smoother. This would not only speed up the march of the army, but also speed up the transportation of goods by business travelers, which would greatly improve the economy of southern Xinjiang.

As for Zhuge Liannu and Wuhou's chariot, even though he, Jia Yu, was a civil servant, he could see how powerful these two weapons were. Moreover, he also heard that Zhuge Liannu had been used at Tianmen Pass. It was said that he could fire ten shots in a row. Crossbow arrows.

When he first heard the news, he was still marveling at who invented the Zhuge Liannu, but he didn't expect that this genius was the prince!

What shocked Jia Yu the most was the method of refining refined salt. If mineral salt could be turned into refined salt, wouldn't money pour in?

With money, you can recruit troops and buy horses. Isn't Southern Xinjiang soaring into the sky?

He was originally hesitant about doing things for Su Che, but now that he saw these things, all the doubts in his heart disappeared.

Just as he had thought before, Su Che was not some idiot who was incompetent in both civil and military affairs, but a genius who was rare to see in a hundred years!

And Jia Yu also knew how important these things were, so Su Che gave them to him, which showed Su Che's trust in him.

This kind of trust did not exist even when the old prince was alive.

As the saying goes, a scholar will die for his confidant. Jia Yu has secretly made up his mind that he will be with Su Che for the rest of his life!

"Master Jia, these drawings are very important and must not be leaked. No one except the craftsmen is allowed to view them!" Su Che ordered.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Xianguan will protect these drawings with his life. If these designs are leaked, Your Majesty can kill Xianguan first! In addition, Xianguan will notify all states and counties to block all salt mines in southern Xinjiang!"
