Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 46 You Have Experience
Perhaps because he was used to being domineering in Yuanjiang County earlier, even in the imperial capital, Zhao Kang was not afraid of anyone except Xiao Linglong.

Even Xiao Xuance, a recognized evildoer, was able to deal with it submissively.

After returning to his residence, Zhao Kang devoted himself wholeheartedly to his research. He sat down on the two pedals and tried to step on them twice, and the spinning wheel started spinning.

"Pretty!"

After confirming that his spinning wheel could operate, Zhao Kang quickly put away all the design drawings and sent out the letter he had prepared.

For a few days, except for Her Majesty the Empress, who was in an increasingly bad mood, the world was peaceful.

After finishing his talk in the Shang Shufang about how the Three Shang Yunlan Sect defeated Thanos and fooled Xiao Xuance and others, Zhao Kang rushed back to his residence, where Zhang Long was already waiting in the yard.

When he saw Zhao Kang, he immediately became extremely excited: "Master!"

"Damn, it's been a long time since I heard this title. I really miss it." Zhao Kang sighed with emotion.

Zhang Long was still excited: "Master, the folks ask me when you will go back? They all miss you. Why don't you do something and let His Majesty demote you back?"

"Are you kidding me? You are the pillar of our country. Even though you are only a sixth-rank minister now, all the princes and princes are my brothers."

Zhao Kang chuckled: "Even Her Majesty the Empress wants to treat me as her confidant. There is no way. Being too handsome is a sin."

Zhang Long scratched his head: "Master, it's useless to argue with me here. I don't understand this."

"Fuck you, I haven't hit you for a while, your skin is itchy, right?"

Zhang Long: "No, sir, what do you want me to do this time?"

"I almost forgot about business, come in with me."

Zhao Kang brought Zhang Long into the room and pointed at the pedal spinning wheel he had made. Zhao Kang found the blueprint and handed it to Zhang Long: "Take this thing back and let the weaver girl in the textile factory try it first to see if it can spin." If possible, I can ask the carpenters in the county to mass-produce them for me and replace all the spinning wheels in the textile factory with these!"

Zhang Long nodded quickly, he always blindly followed Zhao Kang's decisions.

Pulling up a chair and sitting down, Zhao Kang crossed his legs and asked, "How are those foreign spies you mentioned in your last letter doing?"

"They are all working honestly in the factory. Don't worry, sir. I will keep an eye on them. If there is any abnormality, I will make sure they don't see the sun the next day!"

Zhang Long's eyebrows were full of murderous intent as he spoke. As the first confidant who followed Zhao Kang, what dirty things has he not done in these years?
Zhao Kang hummed: "Keep an eye on me."

Zhang Long exclaimed: "By the way, sir, I have some good news to tell you. The glass factory you mentioned has been burned out, and it's very shiny and beautiful."

"Is it done? How is the quality? Are there any bubbles?" Zhao Kang was a little surprised. This is a good thing for him to slaughter pigs in the future.

Zhang Long took out a cloth bag from his arms: "I brought a piece with me when I came here, and it's almost like this."

Looking at the piece of glass that Zhang Long took out, Zhao Kang seemed to see the white silver: "Okay, okay, good job, the quality is good, whoever made it will give me 100 taels of silver."

The piece of glass in Zhang Long's hand was of very high quality, transparent and bubble-free, and the whole body was crystal clear. Zhao Kang asked: "Let the workers use the molds we made last time for the next batch of glass to be fired first. Don't make too many of them." A hundred or so pieces will be enough. When you’re done, you can send them to me. I’ll be of great use to you, sir!”

"Understood! Master, do you have anything else to explain? I will go back without me. This imperial capital is too dirty and smelly." Zhang Long was a little disdainful.

Zhao Kang hummed: "We need to talk to that bitch about this. Damn, I'm afraid of getting sick if I stay here for too long! Okay, you can go back."

Zhang Long hurried back to Yuanjiang County with the pedal spinning wheel. Zhao Kang thought for a while, although the bitch woman's face smelled bad these days, the hygiene problem should indeed be solved.

In the imperial study, Xiao Linglong was really surprised when she heard that Zhao Kang asked for an audience. This guy had been in the imperial capital for so long, and she wished she couldn't see him.

How dare you come to see me today. "Bring him in."

After Xiao Linglong finished speaking, she sighed, rested her chin on her hands and looked out the window.

As soon as Zhao Kang arrived at the door, he saw a beautiful scene.

The woman was wearing a dragon robe with special respect. Her body was slightly tilted and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, as if she was worried. Her jade arms were as tender as lotus roots, and her lips were not dotted with red. That beautiful face reminded Zhao Kang of that sentence.

Zhuo Qinglian is not a demon.

What a beautiful woman, but unfortunately too violent.

Zhao Kang coughed in his mind, alarming Xiao Linglong.

Seeing him coming, Her Majesty the Empress said calmly: "No need to be polite, just sit down. What do you want to see me for?"

After Zhao Kang sat down, he said: "Your Majesty, I'm here to tell you about the health situation of the imperial city."

Obviously thinking of the terrible scene in the outer city, Xiao Linglong still said: "This doesn't seem to be something you should care about."

Zhao Kang: "Your Majesty, I live in the outer city now. The people are too undisciplined and do not care about hygiene at all. They excrete and dump filth at will. If it is not controlled, it is very likely that a plague will occur and the people will get sick."

"So serious?" Xiao Linglong sat upright.

Zhao Kang nodded: "When I was in Yuanjiang County, I always regarded urban health as a top priority. If the people are not healthy, how can they have the strength to build a country? Your Majesty, are you right?"

"That makes sense. What are you going to do?"

As long as it is good for the country, Xiao Linglong has always been very motivated. Zhao Kang scratched his head. This kind of thing cannot be solved at once.

His original intention was to remind Xiao Linglong, why now it seems that this guy is personally responsible?

"For this, we must first change the people's habit of open defecation, build public toilets, set up health pickets, etc..."

"Okay, then I will leave this matter to you. I will see results within a month." Xiao Linglong nodded repeatedly as she listened.

Zhao Kang said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I am Zhan Shicheng. This kind of matter should be left to the Wucheng Military and Horse Division."

Xiao Linglong said matter-of-factly: "You have experience in this kind of thing, but they don't, so you still have to do it."

Nmlgb!

"But Chen is just a trivial matter." Zhao Kang still wanted to save it.

Xiao Linglong casually took out an imperial order from behind the desk: "With this order, you can command the whole army and horse department."

You are really causing trouble for yourself. Zhao Kang was filled with anger, but he had no choice but to say: "Then, Your Majesty, I can do whatever I want?"

Xiao Linglong began to miss the Yunshan Iron Mine again, and said casually: "It's up to you."

That's it.

Zhao Kang picked up the imperial order and resigned.

As soon as he left the royal study, he was blocked by Xiao Xuance. The unlucky boy had completely forgotten about being beaten by a beggar some time ago, and his face was full of curiosity when he saw the imperial order in Zhao Kang's hand.
