Lonely non-good minister

A lot of these things are delivered every day, and if you don't look at them for one day, you will delay a lot of things. If there is another delay tomorrow... Song Yuan scratched his head, not daring to be lazy again.

There were too many official documents, and she didn't know when she fell asleep on the table. However, her arms were sore and numb when she slept the next day, and her waist and bones ached, making it difficult for her to walk with a limp on her desk early in the morning.

"Your Highness, the Fifth Master is here to invite His Highness and Miss Yan... Your Highness, what's wrong with you?" Wei Yan was frightened and quickly came over to help her: "Why are you so disabled..."

Before he could finish speaking, he received a roll of the eyes. Song Yuan endured the pain and stretched his body: "Fifth brother wants to see me and Miss Yan?"

"Well, the person who reported the news is at the door. He said it was Master Wu who was in a hurry."

"I'll change my clothes and go. You go and tell Miss Yan. By the way, don't let it slip when you go outside. Don't talk about Miss Yan. You have to call her Young Master Yan."

Wei Yan frowned: "She looks like a girl at first sight, even if she wears men's clothes, it's not like others can't tell."

"If you can't tell it's other people's business, just call it what I say."

Song Yuan went to change her clothes. When she came out, Yan Yan was already waiting at the door. She was still wearing the clothes given by Song Yuan, but she felt a little awkward all over. She was full of expectations, but also worried and worried for fear of encountering difficulties. Song Yuan did not comfort her, but said hello and took her out.

In order to facilitate the handling of military affairs in various places, Song Fu has moved to Zhangye County. Unlike Song Run, who could not help himself to rent a yard to live a small life while leaving the palace rewarded by the court, he generously settled his family members there. After entering the palace, the first few courtyards were set up separately to handle military affairs. They were separated from the front and back so as not to interfere with each other.

There were many officers passing the news in front of the palace, and the guards were very tight. Each of the soldiers looked fierce, and they looked like they were not easy to provoke. As soon as they walked away, their sharp eyes were like knives, and they wanted to scrape off the skin of the visitors. layer.

When Yan Yan arrived at the gate and saw the posture, she became more and more nervous visibly. Following Song Yuan in, she boldly took a quick look around and immediately looked away, even though other people's eyes just glanced at her. She also felt extremely guilty.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment." The person who reported the news left them in the small tea room where they were waiting for guests, and then went to inform Song Fu.

Song Yuan sat down and saw that Yan Yan was embarrassed before speaking: "If you are so nervous, people will misunderstand that you have no confidence."

"I know, but the sense of oppression here is too strong." She also sat down: "So many people are so quiet and serious. Your fifth brother must be very strict in running the army. Is it possible that he is a difficult person to talk to? Are you going to make things difficult for me because I’m a woman?”

She was being made difficult for, that's why she was worried.

Song Yuan thought for a while: "I think it's easy to talk to." At least the fifth brother has never caused trouble for him.

Yan Yan was still nervous. Before she could adjust her mentality, Song Fu strode in, holding the drawings taken by the quartermaster, "I saw the drawings. If what they said is true, it can be manufactured immediately, but I asked the craftsmen that making such firearms requires rebuilding the base furnace. All in all, the cost is not low. It costs tens of thousands of taels of silver to start with. The investment is not small, and the court may not approve this amount of money."

He didn't care about Song Yuan and Yan Yan at all, he came in as he was talking, and after standing still, he stared at the drawings in his hands, not caring about etiquette issues. "Fifth brother, do you want to see the gunpowder first?" Song Yuan hurriedly took over the words: "You have to see it with your own eyes before you can be sure that the money was spent unjustly."

To put it bluntly, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I don't want to take risks. Otherwise, why would I talk so much?

Song Fu looked at her and then moved his eyes to Yan Yan. No matter how carefully he dressed up, he could still see the identity of Miss Yan Yan at a glance. Suspicion flashed in his eyes. He nodded and accepted Song Yuan's words.

"Master Yan." Song Yuan immediately called to Yan Yan: "Can you show it again? You don't need to show anything else, just the firecracker."

Yan Yan nodded: "Okay."

She took out the firecrackers she brought, walked outside the house, lit them, and threw them on the ground. There was a loud bang. Just by listening to the sound, she could confirm that there was enough gunpowder inside, otherwise it would never explode all the green bricks on the ground. open.

Song Yuan knew that she did it on purpose, so he stood aside silently, only carefully observing Song Fu's expression. Song Fu did not lose his composure because of being too excited, but it could be seen that he was very satisfied, with a relaxed expression and fiery eyes.

"Yes, but I'm not satisfied with the power. Although the drawings you gave are well-designed, they are not simple to use, and many places are too detailed. Once a malfunction occurs on the battlefield, ordinary soldiers cannot repair it by themselves. I hope so Something made with a lot of money is easy to carry and very powerful. The power of this firecracker is not enough to hurt people on the battlefield. I heard them say that the power depends on the amount of gunpowder inside. If you want to meet my requirements , there must be a lot of gunpowder, so the size of the firecrackers will also become larger, which is inconvenient to carry." Song Fu put forward an opinion.

Yan Yan was a little shocked, but quickly cheered up: "As long as you have enough money, you can do it. What the prince said is not a problem."

She was very confident, and Song Fu reluctantly believed her: "That's good. In that case, let's repair the base furnace first. This money needs to be paid by the civil affairs first. When the government allocates funds, I will pay it back." your."

Song Yuan immediately became unhappy: "The civil affairs department has no money."

"Huo Ying is investigating a case recently. Once he kills a few fat fish, it will cost a lot to confiscate the house. I understand this better than you." Song Fu gave her a bad idea and put down the drawing after saying: "These few drawings alone are not enough. Mr. Yan should have other preparations. In three days, I hope to have more detailed drawings. I will submit them with the fold, so that the probability of getting money will be higher."

He has arranged everything, so Yan Yan will have no problem. She has plenty of drawings. Even though there are not many that can be used due to production conditions, it is still no problem to scrape together a dozen or so.

Song Yuan's problem was huge. The money for the house raid couldn't be found in her hands. How could she still lick her face and ask Huo Ying for it?Isn't this embarrassing?

But Song Fu didn't care about how she solved it at all, so he made arrangements and left.

After coming out of the palace, Yan Yan breathed a long sigh of relief: "Your fifth brother is easier to deal with than I thought. He is so agile and knows how to make demands."

"Yeah." Song Yuan was not in the mood to cooperate with her in praising Song Fu. Where could she get tens of thousands of taels of silver? She couldn't really go to Huo Ying with her face licked, could she?All the money after Tingwei's house was confiscated was directly deposited into the national treasury. Can Huo Ying give her the money?
