"Here, there's an assassin." Li Xiang shouted outside.
The Imperial Guards heard the sound and rushed over immediately.
When the little eunuch saw that the assassination failed, he grabbed the dagger and stabbed himself in the chest.
The maid next to her pulled Shangguan Jinxiu away.
Phew! The white knife goes in, the red knife comes out, and a life ends in front of them.
Only then did the Imperial Guards rush in.
"I will come to my rescue late, please forgive me."
"Commander Fu, look how he is doing." Shangguan Jinxiu pointed at the young eunuch who committed suicide out of fear of crime.
Commander Fu checked the other party's pulse and said: "Mother, he is dead."
"This person is the young eunuch in charge of cleaning. He is usually honest and honest. Why is he so bold today?" Li Xiang said, "Commander Fu, you have to investigate carefully. If something like this happens again, isn't the empress like this every time?
Good luck."
"The general will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
Fan Yuanxi had been working hard all day and was about to take a break when he heard Eunuch Chen's sharp voice coming from outside: "Has the empress been assassinated?"
He sat up and watched Eunuch Chen push the door open and come in.
"emperor……"
"Is anyone okay?"
"Did your Majesty hear it?" Eunuch Chen said flatteringly, "This slave deserves to die for disturbing the Emperor. Your Majesty is fine. The maid who served you was clever and noticed something was wrong in time, so that your Majesty was not hurt. The eunuch who committed the assassination committed suicide out of fear of the crime. Commander Fu said it was in
The handyman outside the Empress's palace usually didn't notice anything unusual, but today he used the cat raised by the Empress to enter the palace and assassinate the Empress. Fortunately, he didn't succeed."
"What did Commander Fu find out?"
"The man is dead, and nothing was found where he lived. Commander Fu interrogated the young eunuchs who lived with him. They were all low-level servants who worked in various palaces, and nothing was found."
Fan Yuanxi put on her shoes.
Eunuch Chen immediately brought over his casual clothes and helped Fan Yuanxi put them on.
He did not ask any more palace attendants to wait on him, but only took Eunuch Chen to the Jinxiu Palace.
"See the Emperor..."
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Shangguan Jinxiu was about to take a rest when he heard the sound of communication outside and immediately got out of bed.
"emperor……"
"Get up!"
"Your Majesty, it's so late, why are you here?"
Fan Yuanxi looked at her and saw that her expression was as usual and not affected, so he said: "I'm tired, come here to rest."
After hearing this, Eunuch Chen immediately understood, waved to the palace maid next to him, and led everyone to retreat.
There were only two people left in the room, Shangguan Jinxiu and Fan Yuanxi.
Hubeicheng. Mu Siyu looked at the account book and pondered.
Although she is extremely wealthy, what she needs to do now is a big project, and it costs a lot of money to do it. In a short period of time, the account books have been piled up thickly, which is distressing to see.
Things have to be done, but how to do them in a way that saves labor, effort and money?
This was a question she had to think about when she stayed up late at night.
"Madam, please rest!" Shang Zhi came in with hot water.
"Shangzhi, do you know what those discarded farm tools or knives are used for?" Mu Siyu asked.
"Most of them are melted by blacksmiths and made into other things. Of course, some are discarded. Generally speaking, those discarded will eventually return to the hands of the blacksmith. After all, iron is still very
Rare."
"We have spent a lot of manpower and material resources this time. This is always too wasteful. We have to find a way to use those discarded things. This not only saves costs, but also saves a lot of labor." Mu Siyu said,
"For example, for those unused farm tools and knives, tomorrow you send a few people to put up a notice and tell us to buy them. Of course, since they are discarded, the price will not be very high."
"Madam, do you know Yunying Temple?"
"Never heard of it."
"It's normal that you haven't heard of it. That temple is an old temple, very old. There is an old bell in Yunying Temple, which is very big. If we can take it back, a lot can be done."
"You go deal with this matter tomorrow."
"Yes, madam, you should rest today! You have been tired for a day, and even if you have a strong body, you still need to rest, right?" Shang Zhi urged.
Mu Siyu put away the account books, said a few words to Shang Zhi and then rested.
Early the next morning, she and her men continued to work.
Lu Zhiyun came over with bird's nest porridge: "Mom, let's eat something first!"
"Did you cook this?" Mu Siyu took it and took a sip. "It tastes just right. My daughter understands my taste. But you don't have to do this kind of thing yourself. The weather is getting colder, so be careful to keep warm.
"
"Mom, you are so busy every day, and I also want to help you." Lu Zhiyun said, "How about you arrange something for me to do!"
"Okay, then you can take them to install agencies in various villages!" Mu Siyu said, "The enemy may attack us at any time. The city can be protected by walls, but what about the village? In order to protect the safety of the villagers, I designed
By entering the basement, the villagers can protect themselves and fight back if they encounter enemies."
Needless to say, this source of inspiration is something that everyone in China knows.
After taking over such an important task, Lu Zhiyun immediately became full of fighting spirit and started walking around various villages with a small team of people.
Because the project is huge, their people alone cannot do it. The best way is to hand over the design drawings to the person in charge of the village, and the local villagers will lead the villagers to build this protective barrier.
"Miss, you are here at the right time. We have developed a method of breeding ice silkworms." The village chief was very excited when he saw Lu Zhiyun.
Lu Zhiyun said: "This is good news, but the most important thing now is not this. Village Chief, I have more important things to give you when I come here this time."
The village chief didn't know why.
After a while, Lu Zhiyun finished telling the whole story.
The village chief was frightened and said tremblingly: "So, it is possible that we will join the war?"
"Village chief, there are only 5,000 defenders in Hubei City. The other side has hundreds of thousands of troops and horses. If we only rely on that few defenders, we will almost have to wait for death. But my mother has already figured out a way. As long as we build it
Once in this basement, we can hide below and save our own lives at critical moments. In other words, even if we are lucky enough not to meet those people, if we meet bandits or bandits, it is still a way to protect ourselves."
"We believe Madam, and we are willing to cooperate."
Lu Zhiyun left the village chief and met the young man named Li Guyuan as soon as he went out.
"I have found out the method of raising ice silkworms for you." Li Guyuan said, "I have lived up to your expectations, right?"
"Well, so what?"
"The things you are doing now seem to be bigger and more interesting. Can you keep me by your side? As long as you have enough money, I will be very useful." Li Guyuan said with a smile.
