King Qin's words opened a skylight for the emperor.

"It's just a metaphor," King Qin said, as if teaching a child: "It's better to steal a teacher than to let the Ministry of Works figure it out without a clue. At least it can save a lot of money, right?

"Huainanzi" says, 'It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach them how to fish.' But in my opinion, whether it is fish or fishing, it is better to earn from those who have these things! "

This is true.

People in different positions naturally look at problems from different angles.

As a king, I always look at it from a top-down perspective, commanding the entire world, and I am the master, and everything should belong to me.

Will not consider solutions to problems from an equal or bottom-up perspective.

But Chu Qing let him know that the best resource was not the things she developed, but herself.

In this case, if you still want her things, you have to protect this person.

How much does it cost to maintain a person?It’s better to save money than training the Ministry of Industry for thousands of years, right?

As for that heartless cannon, the ignition problem and the problem of moisture in the gunpowder have not been solved yet.

The Ministry of Industry was running around like headless flies trying things out, but they still couldn't get the answer.

If you can’t get it for free, you have to pay tuition, which is also true.

Tuition fees are much smaller than the expenses of the Ministry of Industry’s random experiments, right?
Now that the grain depot is empty and the national treasury is almost empty, we can no longer ask the Ministry of Industry to report accounts and purchase test materials at any time as it did in previous years.

"She said cooperation... but does this mean?" the emperor pondered.

"What kind of cooperation?" King Qin asked. He didn't know how many letters Chu Qing wrote to the emperor and what they wrote.

He only knew that Chu Qing's artillery was powerful in all directions, and he wanted to use it to scare the refugees in Ji County into chaos.

The emperor took out a letter written by Chu Qing and showed it to King Qin. It mentioned the bookstore franchise and the rental of artillery.

"Isn't this just right?" King Qin said while looking at it: "After all, she is a woman, and she can't hide many things in her heart. Look at this paper showing off, it is no different from your concubines in the harem!"

Emperor: "How do you say that?"

King Qin: "Those concubines in your harem, today this one is embroidering flowers, and tomorrow that one is making soup, and they have to show off all the big things to you. They just want you to praise them and gain your favor;

Chu Qing is nothing more than that;
It’s just that she is not a harem girl, and all she wants is money, not power, so just give it to her!One hundred and eighty taels is not much;

How about I spend some money to rent it and try it first?

I was just about to open my eyes and see for myself the artillery that is said to be able to shoot down cattle from across the mountains. Ji County has been incessant recently, so I will give it a shot and see if it works! "

The trouble is over. Is the emperor's uncle here this time to rent Yong'an Gong's artillery?
"Yeah, that's fine." The emperor pondered for a long time and nodded in agreement.

King Qin secretly rubbed his knees.

After sitting down for a while, my knees are still sore and numb. I can't help cursing the emperor in my heart: I just gave you an analysis of the pros and cons for a long time and you were unmoved. How come you have figured it out now?

Is it just that the king described Chu Qing as a perverted woman to make you lose face?
Don't we have to give in and compromise in the end?
It's all kneeling anyway, you're just asking me to help you find a more comfortable position.

The emperor closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time.

King Qin took the opportunity to leave.

The palace door is about to be locked.

Really, for such a small thing, I knelt down and said, "I didn't eat well, I didn't drink tea, I'm your uncle!"

It was already late, but Eunuch Li did not dare to step forward to ask the emperor for instructions on which concubine palace he should sleep in tonight.

The emperor seemed to have fallen asleep while sitting, but in fact his heart was churning.

The emperor's uncle just said something that made him feel uncomfortable - "A woman!"

Yes, Chu Qing is just a woman.

The emperor once even thought that she was like a beggar child trying to please her parents. Even if she was hungry, she would let her parents take a bite of the food she had begged for, just to see her parents' good looks.

The emperor believed that he had not failed her. Didn't he reward her every time she donated something good?

But the emperor's uncle said it was too little.

Think about it too.If she were a man, what would he reward her?
If she were a man from an aristocratic family, how would he treat her?

If she was as beautiful as a flower, he would...

Why did you suspect that she was rebellious in the first place?

King Voss, on the other hand, no matter what his purpose was, he still prioritized marrying Chu Qing.

No wonder Chu Qing is avoiding other places now.

Is the departure of the leaf the pursuit of the wind or the unwillingness of the tree to stay?
(Chu Qing: Is it me who is running away? If you dare, give me the richest state capital as a fiefdom!)

***************
No one sleeps tonight.

The sea breeze blows gently and the waves sway gently.

On the dark sea, lights shine.

On the deck, Chu Qing lit the small iron stove and prepared to get some food for the two children.

The two children secretly drank wine behind Chu Qing's back at noon and slept all afternoon. Now they were very energetic and complained that they were hungry.

With the second child, one cannot ignore the eldest child. Chu Qing treats Xiao Bao as the same age as a little starfish, treating everyone equally.

While Chu Qing was fussing over the stove, Xiaobao whispered to Chu Xinghai, "You see, as long as we are together, my mother will be fine with me."

Chu Xinghai: "Don't worry, brother, my brother will protect you from now on!"

Xiaobao: "..."

Chu Xinghai: "We are not sleepy after sleeping too much, why is my adoptive mother not sleepy?"

Xiaobao: "Mother is waiting for the emperor's letter."

Chu Xinghai: "What are you waiting for?"

Xiaobao: "Bookstore, cannon!"

Chu Xinghai: "Why do you care so much? Didn't my adoptive mother say that I won't let them take advantage?"

Xiaobao couldn't answer this question, so he said, "Go and ask."

Despite the sound of the waves, the sea breeze carried their conversation to Chu Qing's ears word for word. Chu Qing said: "People cannot live alone, let alone make enemies everywhere."

Chu Xinghai: "We have cannons, what are we afraid of?"

I'm afraid of "abnormal changes in a large amount of data in a short period of time", but can I tell you?

Chu Qing: "To be harmonious, to be friendly, to have good people, we have to think more about the good."

Xiaobao: "Mom, if you have too many good intentions, they become too good-hearted. Have you forgotten why the emperor was suspicious of you in the first place?"

Chu Qing: "A country and an era have its own rules, which are not based on personal will. In fact, in general, the emperor is pretty good to me."

Xiaobao was a little angry and said: "Mother, you..."

Chu Qing: "So far, I am not only the only female official in Daxuan, but also the only female duke, right?

If the emperor was not enlightened enough, he would not have given his mother the opportunity to become an official;

Think about it, even men who have not taken the imperial examination still need to pass the professional assessment of the Ministry of Personnel and be selected as officials, but there are no direct officials. "

Chu Xinghai interrupted: "Isn't it because of Bai Hua that you are an official?"

Xiaobao said: "It should be said that it was because of the war. My mother happened to be captured by Bai Hua during the worst of the chaos."

Chu Qing corrected: "No, even if Bai Hua brought me into the industry, my mother would only be considered a non-staff employee of the Secret Investigation Department at that time;

If it were not for your grandpa Hong Liang who participated in the rescue of Mr. Hong, my mother would not have had the chance to become a full-time official;

As for this opportunity, Bai Hua just helped her mother to report it in time. The person who actually approved it was the Secret Investigation Department;

The Secret Investigation Department must also obtain the emperor's permission... Of course, there was an urgent need for employment at that time, and the Secret Investigation Department might not report a small person like my mother as a big deal;

But no matter what, this is official permission, and the biggest official is the emperor. "
