The next day, the prince went to court early as usual.
After the dynasty dispersed, the prince and Mr. Qi went to the royal study to meet the emperor and presented the newly made weapons to the emperor for inspection.
Although the emperor's martial arts has been almost neglected since he ascended the throne, when he was young, the emperor's martial arts were also good. People who practice martial arts naturally understand the importance of weapons.
Knowing that the quality of the weapons newly created by the Ordnance Supervisor was far from the previous ones, Long couldn't help but feel happy.
When he learned that this matter was related to Su Tang, and that Mr. Qi was inspired by Su Tang's method of making a dagger that cut through iron like clay, the emperor was even more shocked. He was so shocked that he couldn't find words to describe it.
But thinking about what Su Tang knew, the shock gradually calmed down.
Although Mr. Qi was inspired by the method of forging daggers given by Su Tang and improved the weapons, his contribution was not insignificant. The emperor rewarded Mr. Qi based on his merits, and rewarded Mr. Qi with 100 acres of fertile land and 20 pieces of silk and satin.
After rewarding Mr. Qi, it’s time to reward Su Tang.
The emperor has a headache. He really doesn't know what to reward Su Tang. Su Tang is not short of money and can raise cavalry privately. Is this something that people who are short of money can do?
I have rewarded a lot of gold, silver, jewels, silk, and satin before. The emperor also saw what Su Tang wanted yesterday. Most of them were rare medicinal materials, but the medicinal materials were only rewarded yesterday, and the queen mother was called to scold them for this.
A few words, too
Later, he was annoyed that he was too indulging the Princess of Jingnan. The rain in the northwest was due to the emperor, the queen and all the civil and military officials. The emperor did not reward the officials, but he rewarded the Princess of Jingnan with so many rare medicinal materials. This move was too cold.
The official's heart has changed.
If you rewarded me yesterday and you rewarded me again today, it will definitely cause speculation in the palace and harem, but it is unjustifiable not to reward you.
The emperor is in trouble.
When the prince saw it, he said, "I think it's better to keep it secret for the time being. As for the contribution of the imperial concubine, the emperor just rewarded it yesterday, so it's not appropriate to reward it anymore. You might as well remember it first, and I won't reward it in the future."
Late."
The emperor smiled and said, "Okay, then just remember it first."
After saying that, the emperor told Mr. Qi, "When you make a dagger that can cut iron like clay, don't forget to give me one."
Mr. Qi hurriedly said, "It may not be possible in a short period of time, but I believe that Princess Jingnan's forging method can definitely make it..."
Mr. Qi believed in Su Tang, and the emperor trusted him even more.
The monarch and his ministers discussed the matter of weapons for a long time in the royal study before leaving the palace.
As soon as they left, the emperor told Duke Yuan to be fair, "Please remember clearly for me that you did not reward Prince Jingnan's concubine. Don't forget it."
Eunuch Yuan smiled and said, "With the intelligence of Prince Jingnan's wife, there will be times when she will make meritorious deeds in the future. My memory is not as good as yours, so I'd better make a book and record it clearly by year and month, so as not to miss it."
There is a special book to record the merits, and it is definitely the only one from the Ning Dynasty.
Here, Eunuch Yuan brought a nice-looking booklet. He had just written it down, but before the ink was dry, a guard came in from outside and presented a memorial saying, "Master Wailang Sun, a member of the Yu Department of the Ministry of Industry, sent a copy from Gongzhou.
I would like to expedite the memorial and ask your Majesty to take a look at it."
"Send it up."
The guard quickly presented the memorial.
The emperor took the memorial, opened it, glanced at it, and laughed.
Eunuch Yuan brought the book over and said, "The emperor is so happy. Could it be that there is some big happy event?"
The emperor glanced at the booklet in Eunuch Yuan's hand and said, "Sun Aiqing discovered a jade mine in Gongzhou, northwest of China, based on the ore-hunting plants given by Princess Jingnan. It is also the finest mutton-fat jade."
Eunuch Yuan opened his mouth so wide that he could stuff a salted duck egg into it. He looked at the booklet in his hand and said, "Then I have to write it down."
In just one day, Princess Jingnan made such great achievements. Eunuch Yuan was worried that the book in his hand was too thin and he should change it to a thicker one. This chapter has been completed!
