The construction of the Musket Bureau was approved by the cabinet.
The emperor's will was still powerful after all. After persuading Zhuge Qingshan and Yan Lanfeng, no one else could say anything.
I'm just very confused as to what this musketeer station is.
"Musket Bureau... Could it be that the new ordnance is a musket?"
"Who knows what a musket is?"
"I've never heard of it. Could it be that some talented person invented it?"
"I have some rumors, it seems that this matter is related to Fang Jue."
"Yes, yes, the location of the Musket Bureau is right next to Fangjiazhuang. It was originally a royal estate, but now it has been converted into the Yamen of the Musket Bureau."
The decree was issued and the location was selected, all completed within a short period of time.
But construction still takes time.
First of all, there must be a government office, and secondly, there must be a factory, and then there must be workers, mineral materials, money and food... none of them are missing.
As a formal government agency, it will take several days to complete the required paperwork.
Just the discussion among the people is already very lively.
"Fangjue has harmed the country!" someone said this.
"That is, there is a severe drought in the three states, and the Ministry of Revenue wants to provide disaster relief, but he persuades your Majesty to establish a musketry bureau. It is really abominable!"
"This man has no regard for the people. He is really a cancer. I am going to Fangjiazhuang to ask him to give an explanation. Who will go with me!?"
"Let's go, let's go..."
…
After the morning court, Ye Hongyi came and told Fang Jue the interesting events in the court.
"Is it true that Yan Lanfeng started crying in public?" Fang Jue smiled.
"Isn't that true?" Ye Hongyi said with a smile, "Master Yan is an old actor. In recent years, if your Majesty wants to carry out any big projects, he will immediately cry out for poverty."
"The Ministry of Finance is indeed in trouble, isn't it?" Fang Jue sighed, this era is difficult.
But Ye Hongyi said: "What's so difficult about the Ministry of Finance? Yan Lanfeng shows His Majesty the false accounts every year. In fact, the Ministry of Finance has a lot of balances in many years. These Xuanjian officials all know it and have already reported it to Your Majesty."
"What?" Fang Jue was shocked, "How dare he make false accounts to show to His Majesty?"
"Your Majesty is kind. Besides, Mr. Yan is not corrupt. He is just pretending to be poor. Your Majesty can let him go." Ye Hongyi couldn't help laughing.
Fang Jue couldn't stop laughing.
The emperor and the household department are both really interesting.
"But we can't hide it this time. His Majesty must have exposed Yan Lanfeng, otherwise he wouldn't have said that the Ministry of Revenue was rich." Ye Hongyi said knowingly.
As the swordsman of the Xuanjian Division, there were very few things that Ye Hongyi didn't know. As long as they were not state secrets or private matters with the emperor, she could tell Fang Jue about them.
"However, a lot of manpower and financial resources will be invested in the construction of the musket station this time. The Ministry of Household Affairs will indeed be short of money... I have to think of a way to relieve His Majesty's worries," Fang Jue said.
Ye Hongyi said: "Your food will be enough to relieve your worries next year. We just have to wait for next autumn's harvest."
"No," Fang Jue shook his head. "It's too late next year. I don't know what changes will happen. If we suddenly have to spend a lot of money to do things, the Ministry of Revenue will have nothing to do."
"I have to make some money in the near future..." Fang Jue narrowed his eyes.
Ye Hongyi smiled and said: "I'm afraid it's difficult, and you can't plunder people's wealth and wealth, how can you get rich quickly?"
plunder?
Fang Jue's eyes lit up: "Of course it's not possible to rob the people, but there are so many rich people..."
On the rich list of Emperor Zun Pavilion, there are quite a few in the capital.
In any era, rich people are really extremely rich, and you can find ways to get something out of them.
So, Fang Jue said: "Ask your people to check the itinerary of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue and find an opportunity..."
Ye Hongyi: "Master Yan likes to go to the Qinhuai River. He goes whenever he has time. You can find him by the river in the evening."
Qinhuai River?
Fang Jue was greatly surprised: "If he is not corrupt, how can he get the money to visit the kiln... visit the Qinhuai River?"
"The Jiaofang Division is also on the Qinhuai River, didn't you know?" Ye Hongyi said in surprise.
"Ah?" Fang Jue's face turned red.
The Jiaofangsi is an official brothel, which contains the female relatives of criminal officials who were implicated and ended up living here.
Daxia officials were not allowed to have sex with prostitutes, but official prostitutes in the Jiaofang Division were allowed. Of course, Yan Lanfeng could go to the Jiaofang Division in an upright manner.
Ye Hongyi suddenly looked over and said meaningfully: "You..."
Fang Jue rolled his eyes at her: "What am I...wait for me to get something, then follow me to the Qinhuai River to block Yan Lianfeng."
…
Although the Qinhuai River is a big river, it has distinct lines.
The flower boat is close to the north bank, and Jiaofangsi is on the south bank upstream.
Originally, there was Jiaofangsi first, and then the Qinhuai River became synonymous with that, so flower boats began to appear on the river, and as time went by, it became even more famous.
Fang Jue took Ye Hongyi to the south bank and waited at the edge.
It wasn't until dark that Ye Hongyi's subordinates came to report: "Sir, the Minister of Yan is arriving soon."
Fang Jue put down his backpack and took out a large plate, which was made up of bamboo tubes and sealed tightly.
Tear off the oil paper and expose a section of lead wire at the edge.
"What is this?" Ye Hongyi asked curiously after dismissing her subordinates.
"The most beautiful scene at night." Fang Jue smiled and took out an old-fashioned kerosene lighter.
After lighting the fire, the fuse quickly ignited. Fangjue placed it in a small pit that had been dug to prevent it from tipping over when it vibrated.
"Boom-bang!"
A burst of fire shot into the sky, and after a few breaths, it exploded in the night sky, and flowers of all colors bloomed, leaving Ye Hongyi stunned.
Then more fire points flew up, exploding one by one in the night sky, and they were so beautiful that they didn't look like anything here.
"Hiss...it's so beautiful, Fang Jue, what is this!?" Ye Hongyi smiled, jumped up, and hugged Fang Jue.
I felt it was inappropriate and immediately let go.
Fang Jue smiled and said, "These are called fireworks, aren't they pretty?"
"It's so beautiful!" Ye Hongyi's excited little hand almost accidentally pulled out the sword.
On Jiaofangsi's flower boat, a middle-aged man heard the explosion and looked up.
Then he couldn't look away for a long time. After all the brilliant light and electricity disappeared, Yan Lanfeng came back to his senses and found that everyone was attracted to him.
Then I heard someone shouting:
"so beautiful……"
"What is this and who did it?"
"Over there, I seem to see Mr. Fang and Mr. Ye from the Xuanjian Division!"
"Fang Jue?"
Although Fang Jue has been conferred the title of Prince's Young Master for a long time, everyone still has the habit of calling him Mr.
Unless you are in the officialdom.
"It's really them!"
When Yan Lanfeng saw it, he felt that something was still being lit, and then another burst of fire shot into the sky, and soon the gorgeous rain of flowers ignited on the sky again.
It is truly beautiful and unforgettable.
"What a beautiful flower rain...what is that?"
People who visited the Qinhuai River today couldn't help but raise eyebrows. The old perverts actually forgot to get on the flower boat and headed towards the south bank in unison.
"Oh, don't leave, this noble man..." The girls on the flower boat suddenly became depressed.
When the crowd gathered, the people from the Xuanjian Division gathered around Fang Jue and the others, not allowing others to approach easily.
Fang Jue continued to light the fireworks, releasing the most beautiful scenery tonight, which made the tourists mesmerized.
"Mr. Fang..." someone shouted.
"Sir, what is this?"
"Sir, where did you buy this thing?" asked a female family member of a wealthy family.
Gorgeous and beautiful things are most liked by women. Of course, men also like them, but they are tough-tongued.
After setting off the last set of fireworks, Fang Jue turned around and looked at everyone with a smile, knowing that his advertising was going well.
"Don't get close, stay away." The soldiers of the Xuanjian Division shouted to the crowd, fearing that the crowd would come and trample the two of them.
However, people in the capital fear the Xuanjian Division more than the Punishment Division.
After seeing the uniforms worn by the soldiers of the Xuanjian Division, no one dared to rush forward.
"Mr. Fang, what is this thing?"
"These are fireworks." Fang Jue said with a smile.
In this era, no king was obsessed with alchemy, so gunpowder had not yet been released.
Fireworks have no shadow.
"fireworks?"
Ye Hongyi looked at Fang Jue and already understood what he wanted to do.
Fang Jue said: "Everyone, do you like this thing?"
"I like it!" Unsurprisingly, there was a burst of cheers.
"Then from tomorrow, Fang will set up a stall by the Qinhuai River to sell these things... Please give me a thumbs up."
"Sir, is this something created by Emperor Zun Pavilion?" someone asked.
Fang Jue didn't care about this credit and nodded: "I brought it down from the Emperor Zun Pavilion. If you are interested, please wait for me tomorrow evening."
"That's a deal!" someone in the crowd shouted in support.
Ye Hongyi's eyes were sharp and she realized that some of the people making noises were from Fangjiazhuang. She even saw Fang Fu!
"Playing with things makes you lose your mind..." Some officials in the crowd shook their heads when they saw this scene.
"His Royal Highness, King Qin, has such a teacher. I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse."
"These fireworks are indeed beautiful, but they are nothing more than grotesque tricks. The prince's majestic young master is obsessed with them. It is really unfortunate for our family and country..."
