Chapter 960: Exhausted

******

The core technology of rockets lies in yellow gunpowder, which is the core military secret of Daqin, and the ordnance supervisor who produces this weapon is not only guarded by the army day and night, but also closely monitored by the night in secret.

Except for the craftsmen in charge of the production of the Ordnance Supervisor, even the high-ranking generals of the Qin army did not know the material preparation and production process of yellow gunpowder.

And with India's current level of technology, even if it gets a rocket, it is impossible to imitate it. Therefore, even if you sell some to small Indian countries such as Otessa, it doesn't matter, this is equivalent to a disposable weapon, and they will be finished when they run out.

Lin Jing said to Shamansha that one rocket and five rockets cost 5,000 taels of silver, which is of course.

With the continuous improvement of Daqin's manufacturing technology and craftsmanship, the actual cost of adding five rockets to a rocket is less than 20 dragon coins, which is converted into 14 taels of silver.

He wants to sell 5,000 taels to Odyssa and other countries, which is really impossible to say.

However, Samansha felt that the rockets were more powerful than the Europeans' artillery, and they were lighter, which was suitable for them to use in the mountains.

She mentally calculated that if she bought 100 rockets and bombed them in a decisive battle with Aurangzeb's army, the lethality caused in the dense formation would be very amazing.

With this weapon, the small states of Odyssa could easily achieve a decisive victory, defeating Aurangzeb's army in one fell swoop and keeping the country alive.

And to buy a hundred rockets, it costs 100,000 taels of silver. If you can really defeat Aurangzeb, it will be worth spending 100,000 silver. The cost of each of the four countries was 25,000 taels. They can still afford it.

She wanted to buy it, but the gentle Lin Jing repeatedly emphasized that this was Daqin's strategic weapon and she was unwilling to sell it.

The two bargained for a long time, and finally Shamansha increased the price to 120,000 taels of silver, and Lin Jing reluctantly replied.

Finally, Samansha said, "Lord Lin. The Cuttak region is the capital of our Otessa, and now that we have paid tribute to Great Qin, should Great Qin return the Cuttac region to us. ”

Obviously, this is too straightforward and does not fit the tone of a vassal state speaking to the suzerain.

So, Lin Jing smiled and said nothing.

The real strength is not to shout loudly, but to keep smiling.

It was the day of the Xiyuan prayer feast again, and after listening to the prayer banquet for a day, Qin Mu felt a little tired. Tired.

After everyone dispersed, he quietly lay on the painting boat of Mochou Lake, allowing himself to completely integrate with the vast clear waves of Mochou Lake, the wisps of white clouds entwined by Yuhuatai, and the blue sky of autumn from body to spirit.

Dong Xiaowan stroked the strings on the bow of the boat, and the song "Nanshan Clouds" was like a tranquil song of mountains and rivers, flying flowers and falling leaves, interpreting a quiet and ethereal. Like a deserted mountain, the white clouds slowly spread up the mountain, and then gently flow down, and the peaks are misty. The sky is like a fantasy.

The beautiful Jiangnan woman, Gu Hanyan, with her slender jade fingers, added some spices to the cloisonné enamel incense burner. The curling cigarette made her face a little blurred, like the streamer of time, which could not be erased. But I can't see it really.

"Your Majesty, the tea is ready."

Qin Mu sat up and took the tea bowl, took a sip, and continued to lie on the jade.

The red lotus root is still jade in autumn, and the west wind on the lake is full of fragrant sleeves. Gu Hanyan gently persuaded: Your Majesty, lie down like this, be careful of catching a cold, and cover the blanket. ”

"Smoke, don't talk, let me be quiet."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gu Hanyan finally brought a thin jacket and gently covered him.

Qin Mu didn't say anything, and gave her a warm smile back.

Today, he suddenly felt that he had tossed too much, and at the beginning of the founding of the previous dynasties, almost all he adhered to was the rule of inaction. And he is afraid of wasting a day, promoting this and that, wanting Daqin to get out of the strange circle of historical reincarnation, so that this ancient oriental country can always stand on top of the world.

In fact, he can also rule like the previous dynasties, and even then, Daqin can become more and more powerful, at least for a certain period of time.

It's just that I missed the ten years and eight years since the founding of the country, and after the structure is rigid, can the things you want to promote be pushed again?

It is said that governing a big country is a small fresh, but this does not seem to be suitable for the beginning of the founding of the country.

At the beginning of the founding of the previous dynasties, in fact, everything from the previous dynasty was overturned and restarted, and there was nothing more "drastic" than this.

With the end of the judicial training of Tongzhi and county officials in various states and counties, Qin Mu plans judicial reform, which will be the core reform he wants to promote.

These days, he has been thinking about this matter, the judicial system of Lao Mei is relatively perfect, but it cannot be directly copied, how to improve it, so that it is more suitable for the current reality, this is a very nerve-wracking thing.

Thinking about it too much, that tired feeling came from the inside out, making him almost not want to bounce.

Without Qin Mu's prestige, no one could stop him from doing what he wanted to do. Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, he dismissed the prime minister's system, promoted the sixth department, and killed the heroes, even if the capital was killed, no one could stop it.

However, the key to these policies that Qin Mu wants to promote is whether they are suitable for the current national conditions, not whether there is anyone against them.

The autumn clouds on Mochou Lake are faint and far away, the painting boat is lightly swinging, the sound of the piano is like flowing water, and the mountains and waters are slightly dyed. Qin Mu, who was a little mentally tired, slept on the painting boat for a while, and did not drive back to the palace until he woke up at dusk.

The next day was the day of the Chang Dynasty, Qin Mu got up early in the morning and came to the Xuanzheng Palace.

The expressions of the officials who came to attend the court meeting today were relatively relaxed, because today's court meeting did not preset any important topics.

As a result, after the visit, as soon as Sima An and the other bigwigs from the third grade or above sat down, Xie Yibo, a member of the Ministry of Rites, came out coldly, and waved his body to the Danqi, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen Xie Yibo has a plan to play." ”

Qin Mu said casually: "What's the matter with you, come quickly." ”

"Xie Majesty. Since His Majesty has been advocating pragmatism and efficiency in government, and opposing mere formality, His Majesty's move has been praised by the government and the opposition, and Weichen also thinks that this is the greatest good governance in the world. However, there is still one thing now, but it is still a formality.

陛xià. According to Weichen's statistics, every time the court meeting is held, no matter how many things are discussed, no matter how big or small, more than sixty percent of the officials have never expressed their political opinions.

First, time is limited, and it is not their turn to express themselves. Second, if it is not the affairs of their own department, most officials are not good at it. It is impossible to make useful suggestions.

Among the sixty percent of the officials who participated in the court meeting, even if their grades were not high, most of them were officials in charge of the specific affairs of various ministries, and a large amount of official affairs were piled up on the desks of their offices, which urgently needed to be handled.

This move was contrary to the pragmatic ideas advocated by the imperial court, and most officials could not or could not build a court meeting, but they could only dry up at the court meeting, and a large number of affairs in the yamen could not be handled in a timely manner.

In light of this. Weichen built yì, and the Chang Dynasty was changed from three days to five days to reduce this waste. And if the officials have good words and good strategies, they can be heard at any time."

Before Xie Yibo finished speaking, Yushi jumped out and shouted loudly. The entire court hall exploded with a bang. Xie Yibo was almost drowned in saliva.

Qin Mu sat on the dragon chair, his ears were full of buzzing sounds, as if he was facing countless Stephen Chow practicing lip kung fu, and his hair was so blown that his hair was fluttering sideways, and his face was scorched

Depend on! Qin Mu had expected in advance that this move would definitely be opposed by most officials, but he didn't expect the opposition to be so fierce, and some imperial histories were like just dead fathers and mothers, calling for heaven and earth.

"Your Majesty, but all the holy monarchs, are not diligent and love the people"

"Your Majesty, Xie Yibo's demonic words confuse the people, bring disaster to the country and the people, and hope that Your Majesty will immediately expel him from the court."

"Your Majesty, Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement; The terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue"

"Your Majesty, God rewards diligence, authentic and noble"

Not only Xie Yibo was bombarded to the ground, but even Qin Mu was yelled at the pain in his ear drums, his eyes were dizzy, and he was so angry that he stood up and reprimanded loudly: "This is the court, what kind of system is it to be so noisy?" Who said that Xie Yibo would be expelled from the court and stand up? ”

There was silence in the court, and Liu Yuchang, the imperial historian, stood up and replied without fear: "Qi Xiyi, it is the minister who implored His Majesty Xià to expel Xie Yibo from the court.

"Shut up!" Qin Mu snorted coldly, pointed at Liu Yu and reprimanded, "As the so-called loyalty is against the ear, if you say that I don't want to be obedient, then I will also expel you from the court immediately?"

As a courtier, Xie Yibo has the right to express his opinions in the court, even if there is something wrong with his proposal, you can refute it, why not denounce it as a beast and expel him from the court?

How can this be reasonable, it is simply unreasonable, after this, who dares to express different opinions, you are trying to block the way of speech, and deceive the holy hearing! ”

Qin Mu jumped like thunder, and he didn't know where he got such a big anger, he sprayed vigorously, and it was endless, which in turn bombarded the ministers in the court.

Some ministers even maliciously wondered if the emperor was dissatisfied with his desires last night, and he was so angry, so he was so furious.

Sima An lowered his eyelids and sat in front of him without saying a word, why did Xie Yibo mention this remark, he couldn't be clearer in his heart, fortunately, the imperial historians jumped out fast enough to cover up the voice of his son Sima Kai, luck, luck
