Chapter 142: Begin the Attack on Duoti

"Liu Runnian has developed a thermos bottle, and the water won't be completely cold for several hours."

The Minister of Industry cried to Xiao Yunzhou in the Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, is this thermos bottle the major project that you mentioned before that contributed to the country?"

"Did Liu Runnian make a contribution?"

"Is Liu Runnian from the Ministry of Industry?"

"This is a project of my Ministry of Industry!"

Xiao Yunzhou was speechless after being asked four questions by Minister Chen of the Ministry of Industry.

He didn't even react, "Thermos bottle? Where is it? Bring it here for me to have a look."

[Oh, thermos bottle, is it the one I thought of? ]

Xiao Chuchu was surprised in the side room.

But immediately, the angry voice of the Minister of Personnel resounded throughout the Imperial Study, directly taking away Xiao Chuchu's voice.

"Why doesn't Minister Chen tell us how Liu Runnian invented this thermos bottle!?"

"The Ministry of Works is so shameless, stealing the credit from my Ministry of Personnel."

Not only Xiao Yunzhou was surprised, Xiao Chuchu was also curious.

What talents are there in the Ministry of Personnel who are good at studying technology?

I don't think I've heard of it.

"Your Majesty, Liu Runnian invented this thing because of our brother Wenchang from the Ministry of Personnel. He told his son a few days ago that he felt that drinking water in cold weather was freezing to the bone, and he was too lazy to get up at night to boil it." The Minister of Personnel looked at Xiao Yunzhou.

Xiao Yunzhou: "...Ah."

Liu Wenchang, the father of Concubine Liu, is so lazy, cough, so inspiring to Liu Runnian.

"Bah! Just saying one sentence is the credit of your Ministry of Personnel? You Ministry of Personnel are so shameless!"

Minister Chen of the Ministry of Works was so angry that his chest heaved.

"The emperor asked us to do the government affairs. Is it possible that all the government affairs in the world are the emperor's credit?"

"Bah, how can you be so shameless——"

Xiao Yunzhou: "......?" Huh?

【……】

Xiao Chuchu was stunned.

After a while, a giggle came from her heart.

"Ahem, your Majesty, I didn't say what you meant. I was talking about the people in the Ministry of Personnel!" Minister Chen of the Ministry of Works realized that he was so excited that he didn't control his mouth.

Xiao Yunzhou's eyebrows twitched, "If you have something to say, just say it, don't talk about other things."

"Your Majesty, our Ministry of Personnel is naturally not as frivolous as the Ministry of Works," the Minister of Personnel shouted in injustice, "If Brother Wenchang hadn't been in the Ministry of Personnel, he would have inspected the officials in Beijing a few days ago and heard the story of the officials of the Ministry of Justice saying that they had put the alchemy scammer in jail. Liu Runnian would not have thought of using mercury to apply mercury in the bottle to keep warm!"

【! Damn. 】

Xiao Chuchu was so surprised, [He really made mercury? 】

"The alchemy swindler had a bottle that was accidentally stained with mercury. He found that the elixir would stay warm for a long time after being put into it, so he used this elixir bottle to store warm elixir all year round and cheated people out of their money."

The Minister of Personnel wiped his tears when he spoke of this. "This is something our brother Wenchang from the Ministry of Personnel found out after carefully evaluating the officials of the Ministry of Justice and checking their daily case documents."

"Brother Wenchang told his son Liu Runnian about this, and only then did the Ministry of Works have the thermos bottle today!"

"Why is there no credit for my Ministry of Personnel, Your Majesty, what do you think?" The Minister of Personnel glared at the Minister of Works.

Xiao Yunzhou was so engrossed that he forgot to speak.

Xiao Chuchu also thought of it instantly, [Great, mercury was first derived from alchemy, and was extracted from cinnabar by Taoists. ]

[Aw, the dead chemical knowledge attacked me again. ]

[Wow, speaking of which, the emperor dad used to love to eat elixir, how could I have forgotten. The reason why eating elixir is easy to die is because of these heavy metal substances such as mercury. 】

Xiao Yunzhou's face froze.

He now knew that the elixir could not be eaten.

This heat preservation thing was made of mercury extracted from the elixir. This elixir really could not be eaten.

If someone ate it, they would definitely die. The temperature would always be the same!

Xiao Yunzhou coughed lightly in fear and raised his hand hurriedly, "Then this thermos bottle will be considered as the joint credit of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Personnel."

"No, Your Majesty!"

"No!"

The two ministers stared at each other.

Xiao Yunzhou was speechless, "What does it have to do with you? It is the credit of the Liu family father and son."

"But Your Majesty, Liu Wenchang said that he dared not take credit for this thermos bottle!"

"Your Majesty, Liu Runnian also said that he would not take credit!"

Xiao Yunzhou was stunned, "They don't acknowledge their credit?"

It's strange. I have only heard of ministers claiming credit, but never heard of them not wanting credit and pushing it away.

Xiao Yunzhou was deeply moved.

The father and son of the Liu family made the emperor look at them in a new light.

"Are you ashamed?" Xiao Yunzhou thought, and looked at the two ministers of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Personnel who were fighting. "The father and son who have made contributions don't want the credit, but you are fighting for it."

"It has nothing to do with you, I am ashamed for you!"

"Learn more about the noble character of the Liu family!"

"..."

The two ministers coughed lightly, and their faces were a little hot.

The more Xiao Yunzhou talked, the more he felt that the Liu family was great. "If everyone in the world could be like the father and son of the Liu family, who only worked and didn't think about seeking rewards and promotions, there would be no corrupt officials! I can sleep peacefully!"

In the next room, Liu Channiang, who was holding Xiao Chuchu, gradually blushed behind her ears.

She knew her family's situation.

Dad, big brother, how could you be so noble and upright as not to take credit for yourself?

It was all because of the thermos bottle, which the little princess told them from her heart.

How old are they, how can they have the nerve to compete with children for credit?

"Well, Your Majesty, Liu Runnian did not ask for rewards. He wanted to go to the palace to see his niece, the noble Third Princess. He developed a kind of glazed gold-dyed cloth and presented it to the little princess."

"That, Brother Wenchang also asked for rewards, Your Majesty. He wanted to ask you for a pendant blessed by a monk from Qiushan Temple and give it to the Third Princess."

The Minister of Works and the Minister of Personnel said so, and their faces were also a little hot.

"Look, look, the father and son only think about their own children's things."

"You didn't even ask me for a penny of reward!"

Xiao Yunzhou was touched.

It's no wonder that the fairy princess was reborn in the Liu family!

In the next room, Xiao Chuchu was delighted to hear, [In addition to the thermos bottle, I actually have a gift, ah, so happy, I also like my grandfather and uncle~ I miss them, 呤~]

Xiao Yunzhou smiled, "This credit will be given to both of them, half each."

The dispute between the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Personnel was settled.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue, who were arguing, came...

"Your Majesty, this kind of winter warm bottle can be rewarded to meritorious soldiers and outstanding generals!"

"You are going to inspect the Xishan military camp soon, just in time to send it with down jackets and instant noodles to comfort the soldiers."

The Minister of War suggested so.

Xiao Yunzhou's eyes really lit up.

*

"General, are you really going to betray the Khan? The King of Chu is probably not a good person either."

It was late at night, in the Jingguo Banguan, Duoti was discussing with his advisers.

After listening to the advisers' advice, Duoti was silent for a long time and sighed.

"I just want my cavalry to get the best treatment for the warriors in the world."

"The Khan can't give it to me, but the King of Chu can."

In recent years, Duoti has received a lot of private gifts from the King of Chu in order to make profits for his cavalry and let them eat rice and not starve in winter.

"I only know that the grassland warriors put their heads on their belts and work for the king without fear of life and death, so they deserve the best!"

"Whoever can give me and my brothers the best is my master, Duoti!"

In the imperial study room of the Jingguo Palace

Xiao Yunzhou pressed his hand towards Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Revenue, "The first batch of thermos bottles produced will be used as a reward for the elite soldiers of the Xishan military camp this time."

"The rest will be given to the Ministry of Revenue."

"Grand Master Fucha, Grand Master Shenmian, please draft an article. I want to ask Sanda to leave a few grassland warriors to exchange the way of training soldiers and archery in Jingguo."

"Let's set a tentative period of half a year. Stay in my Jingguo and help my Jingguo train soldiers!"

"I will also send two imperial doctors to the grassland to spread the method of vaccination in exchange."
