The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Song Ci went out of the palace with the seven princes, and was immediately invited by Xiao Yiheng, Xiao Lie, and Xiao Jing enthusiastically, and couldn't wait to recruit him. Unfortunately, Song Ci came to Xiao Rui, so how could he fancy other people.

I regard the King of Salt as the only one, and your other vulgar fans go away!

So naturally rejected it with an excuse.

Out of the Meridian Gate, the princes got on their carriages and left.

Xiao Rui got into the carriage and turned to look at Song Ci. By coincidence, he also turned and saw him saluting Xiao Rui respectfully. Xiao Rui nodded and returned a salute. The two of them left without telling it.

Back to King Xian's mansion, the Leopard was waiting in the mansion.

"How's it going? Will the question book be memorized?" Xiao Rui asked.

Leopard said respectfully: "His Majesty, the villain has spent a lot of effort and finally finished memorizing it. If the exam questions really come out of it, the villain won't be able to win the jinshi and the first, the jinshi is still no problem."

Xiao Ruijie glanced at him and hummed: "Jinshi background? Do you want to die faster? Don't you know what level you are?"

The leopard smiled awkwardly and said: "The villain understands, just a daydream. The villain's goal is to be born in the same rank as a scholar. It is the villain's lifelong wish to be on the list."

Xiao Rui nodded, and he didn't dare to mess around. Did he really think he was as good as himself and could easily win the top prize?

"Oh, by the way, you are from Hangzhou Prefecture. Have you ever heard of the death of the Zheng family in Huzhou Prefecture five years ago?" Xiao Rui asked.

Leopard nodded and said: "Of course I have heard that it was a sensational case. The Zheng family is the richest businessman in Huzhou Prefecture, and the financial resources are not inferior to our Jin family's Hengtong Chamber of Commerce. Who would have thought, but was killed by the thief. It is said that the death was so tragic that all the officials who arrived at the scene vomited. Your Highness, how did you think about it?"

"Just ask casually, it's okay. By the way, I haven't seen Shen Wansan recently, where did he go?" Xiao Rui asked.

Jin Leopard said: "Uncle Shen is busy studying bamboo papermaking and clay movable type printing. This is the top priority of his Highness's account. He dare not neglect."

Yes, your Majesty has been inquiring about the progress of bamboo paper and clay movable type printing in the past two days, but he used an excuse to round it off. In fact, it was Xiao Ruiguang who was thinking of conspiracy and tricks and kept saying that he wanted to supervise the research process. Without participating, I don't know where I am now.

Shen Wansan was also sincere. He probably solved the problem with the craftsmen himself, and didn't want to ask himself.

Having said that, it seems that I haven't even paid attention to the research on black powder, right? I leave it to Wu Zhanfa to watch.

amount...

No way, I'm too busy.

As it happened to be empty today, Xiao Rui became interested and shouted outside the house: "Gao Quan!"

"Your Highness, the villain is here." Gao Quan entered the room and waited.

Xiao Rui arranged: "Go and invite Mr. Wenhe and Mr. Fengxiao, and prepare two carriages and manpower. You will have to leave the city later. Oh, yes, be more concealed and don't reveal your identity."

"Yes!" Gao Quan immediately went down to make arrangements, and soon Jia Xu and Guo Jia arrived.

Xiao Rui stretched out his hand to invite the two to sit down, and said, "Mr. Wenhe and Feng Xiao, the sun is good today. Why don't you go to Huben Pavilion?"

Huben Pavilion is the secret base built by Xiao Rui. It was a manor, located in a valley not far from the northwest camp. The location was quiet. It was originally the property of an old rich man, but was later bought by Wu Zhanfa, even with dozens of acres of land around it. It became Xiao Rui's private property.

He went to blackmail Zhuge Yuanba's dignitaries, but the stingy, unwilling to put the iron dragon knight soldiers to protect him, and finally found a lot of retired veterans, who were also veterans in the army, not inferior to the Forbidden Army. , Leaving them to act as guards in the Huben Pavilion.

Nowadays, plans such as bamboo and paper making, movable clay printing, black gunpowder, and purification of white wine are all carried out in the Huben Pavilion. Years ago, it was said that when the Huben Pavilion was repaired, it was necessary to go and see it in person. It is now in February. , Haven't been there yet.

My own master is really big-hearted.

"I thought His Highness had forgotten Hu Ben Pavilion." Jia Xu smiled. He ran a dozen times, and you can imagine how lazy Xiao Rui was.

"Yeah, yeah." Guo Jia had also broken his studies, and even nodded in agreement. No way, even Guo Jia later went to Huben Pavilion several times.

Xiao Rui was holding his forehead. He had discovered that the two people were mingling with each other. He didn't kill the opponent first, and first abolished his sense of superiority.

and many more.

What if Zhuge Liang came in the future?

Hey...the three are interesting.

When the carriage was ready, Li Yuanfang and Wei Guang drove and escorted Xiao Rui, Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Leopard out of the city in a low-key manner.

After leaving the city, I walked straight to the northwest along the official road, and walked for more than a dozen miles, and came to a fork in the road. Then he turned in, and walked for several miles, bypassing a hill, and the front suddenly opened up.

A huge valley is nestled in the hills, covering several tens of acres. There is a manor in the depths, and the smoke is igniting at this time. At this time, there was a sturdy veteran holding hands in front of the manor. Knowing that King Xian was coming, he hurriedly knelt down to greet him. Wu Zhanfa had already known that his Royal Highness was coming, so he was also waiting in front of the door.

Xiao Rui got out of the carriage and said to everyone, "Let's walk in."

Everyone naturally had no objection.

Xiao Rui entered the manor and looked at the wheat seedlings on the land in the manor. At this time, he asked, "How to fight, how many guards are there now in the manor?"

"His Royal Highness, 66 people are all veterans introduced by Zhuge Commander, and they have all investigated the selected white people, they can be trusted." Wu Zhanfa said.

Xiao Rui said: "Then give them good enough rewards to let them work willingly. In addition, there are too few sixty-six people. The secrets in the Huben Pavilion are of great importance. There must be sufficient personnel to act as guards and continue. hiring."

In accordance with the system of the Great Xia Kingdom, the prince appointed the prince, awarded the gold book and treasure, and spent thousands of years. The number of guards is 1,000 as few, and as many as 3,000, and they belong to the Ministry of War. Mianfu Cheqidi is the first, the next emperor first.

Although it was such a system, any prince who dared to have this scale, excluding the forbidden army in the palace, could have one or two hundred guards. Like the Royal Palace of Xian, except for the 300-man imperial army dispatched by your majesty, the guards attached to the Ministry of War also had ten men.

Of course, this is because in the capital of the country, there are no need for so many guards, and to avoid taboos, when there are too many people, and then being impeached by Yushi, the gain is not worth the loss.

Like Xiao Yuan, he was assigned to the place by his majesty. Before he left, his majesty arranged three thousand armored guards. It was a small army and could not lose the royal face.

However, since there is this system, Xiao Rui dare to recruit people brazenly. Retired veterans retain their military status in the Ministry of War, so in the sense they belong to the Ministry of War, but they didn’t register and make a register. This is a trick, even in the future. Being impeached is also irrelevant and will not hurt your fur.

"Subordinates understand." Wu Zhanfa saw that Xiao Rui attached such importance to Hu Ben Pavilion's defense, and immediately remembered the matter in his heart.

Xiao Rui pointed to the land full of wheat seedlings, and said, "It will be transformed directly into a school field. There will be a lot of people at that time, and it will be used for training. In addition, the research and development of black powder requires a field test, which can be easy. Things that kill people must be cautious."

"Subordinates understand." Wu Zhanfa was overjoyed. He had long wanted to reform, but it was a pity that His Highness was not coming. He didn't issue orders, so who would dare to do it.

As he walked, Xiao Rui told Wu's strategy how to transform this manor according to his previous life's thinking.

Gradually, in everyone’s minds, a brand-new manor was born. This is no longer a paradise for vegetation and vegetables, but like his name, Huben Pavilion, turned into a fierce, introverted, secret base that hides its sharp claws. .

Going to the depths of the manor, in addition to the original house, a simple bamboo shed was built with bamboo, and many work areas were divided, and the products studied in each work area are different.

Hearing that Xiao Rui was here, Shen Wansan and Ge Hong called out more than sixty craftsmen to visit him.

"Meet His Royal Highness King Xian!" Everyone bowed their hands in salute.

Xiao Rui looked at the different but energetic craftsmen and nodded heartily. As his dense base, Xiao Rui naturally wanted to say something encouraging:

"Starting from today, this king promises that the remuneration package of all Hubenge craftsmen will be three times the level of Guodu craftsmen! This is the first!"

"Article two! Anyone who has made outstanding contributions to solve problems in the research, invention and creation will be rewarded according to the difficulty of the problem. This king can guarantee that the lowest reward starts from fifty taels of silver! "

"Article three! From now on, all craftsmen will be divided into levels according to their level, three-class craftsman, second-class craftsman, first-class craftsman, and master craftsman, four grades! Third-class craftsmen enjoy three times the salary, and second-class craftsmen enjoy four Double the salary, first-class craftsmen enjoy five times the salary, master craftsmen, ten times the salary! The rating will be based on your abilities and contributions!"

"Article 4! When you become a first-class craftsman, you can enjoy free housing, and your children can go to private schools for free."

"Article 5 is an even bigger surprise. It will be kept secret for the time being."

"The Huben Pavilion is a place for studying the country and benefiting the world. This king hopes that you will rise to the challenge! As long as you pay, this king will not hesitate to reward you!"

Jia Xu and Guo Jia looked at each other, and they smiled at each other.

His Royal Highness has grown up and has his own ideas and plans for everything, which is very rare. Under the great reward, there must be brave men. Now they are given treatments that they would not even dare to dream of. Instead of painting them flat cakes, or putting hot cakes just out of the oven in front of them, these ordinary craftsmen were stunned. Down, it is salivating.

Because they never thought that they would be so valued.

In an instant, the sluggish craftsmen reflected and kowtowed their heads to be grateful.

Xiao Rui nodded, but her tone suddenly became cold, and said, "Of course, the rewards are rich and the competition is fierce. This king will make Wu's battle law a strict promotion system. Similarly, if you do not have this ability, you will be directly affected. Eliminate!"

"Yes!"

All the craftsmen have enough strength, but they are looking forward to the pursuit of future life.

Xiao Rui waved his hand to let the craftsmen disperse and continue working, and he came to the main hall.

Shen Wansan reported on the research progress of improved papermaking. Papermaking is divided into four steps. The first is separation of raw materials, the second is beating, the third is papermaking, and the fourth is drying. Bamboo paper is based on improved papermaking. , Using bamboo that has never been made of paper as a raw material ~ www.wuxiahere.com ~ and further invented bamboo paper. After all, other raw materials are tight, but the bamboo forests in Daxia Kingdom are massive.

Nowadays, bamboo paper is being developed for beating, making fine bamboo strips to improve the beating degree. In addition, the choice of sizing agent is also being tested. The effect of starch sizing agent is not good, and plant slime is being tried, but what to use Plants need to be tested one by one.

In general, bamboo papermaking is progressing steadily.

The mud type printing is not that complicated, but the task is large. It is necessary to use the cement to make the blanks of the same specifications, and engrave the reversed words on one end. The height of the protrusions of the words is the same as the thickness of the edge of the coin, and it is hardened by fire , Become a single mortar type.

Shen Wansan fired a few, and the printing effect was good. At this time, he had already ordered scholars who could understand Chinese characters to start lettering.

Of course, movable clay type printing is the beginning, but not the end. Next, wood type printing and copper type printing need to be developed slowly.

Other researches, such as liquor purification, are also being steadily carried out.

In the end, it's the black powder.
