Chapter 142 Start conquering Duoti
"Liu Leonnian developed a thermos flask, and the water was not completely cold for several hours."
The Minister of Industry, in the Imperial Study Room, cried to Xiao Yunzhou.
"Your Majesty, is this thermos flask a major project that contributes to the country as you mentioned before?"
"Is Liu Leung Nian meritorious?"
"Is Liu Leonnian from the Ministry of Industry?"
"This is a project of my Ministry of Industry!"
Xiao Yunzhou was left speechless after being questioned four times by Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.
He didn't even react, "Thermos flask? Where is it? Bring it to me and take a look."
[Ah 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 Civil Affairs resounded throughout the imperial study, taking away Xiao Chuchu's inner voice.
"Why don't Chen Shangshu tell me how Liu Leonian invented this thermos flask!?"
"The Ministry of Works is really shameless and wants to take the credit from my staff department."
Not only Xiao Yunzhou was surprised, but Xiao Chuchu was also curious.
What talents does the Ministry of Personnel have who are specialized in technology?
I don’t think I’ve heard of it.
"Your Majesty, Liu Runnian invented this thing all because of our brother Wenchang from the Ministry of Personnel. He told his son a few days ago that he felt that the cold weather was freezing to the bone when drinking water, and he was too lazy to get up at night to burn it." The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel looked at Xiao Yunzhou.
Xiao Yunzhou: "...ah."
Liu Wenchang, Concubine Liu's father, was so lazy, ahem, so inspiring to Liu Runnian.
"Bah! You just said one sentence and it's all the credit of your officials? You officials are so shameless!"
Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was so angry that his chest heaved.
"The emperor asked us to do government affairs. Could it be that all government affairs in the world are due to the emperor?"
"Bah, why are you so shameless——"
Xiao Yunzhou: "...?" Huh?
【……】
Xiao Chuchu was stunned.
After a while, laughter came from her heart.
"Ahem, your Majesty, I didn't mean what you meant. I was talking about the people in the Ministry of Civil Affairs!" Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry realized that he was so excited that he didn't keep his mouth shut.
Xiao Yunzhou's eyebrows twitched, "If you have something to say, don't talk about anything else."
"Your Majesty, our Ministry of Personnel is naturally not as arrogant as the Ministry of Industry," the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel shouted, "If Brother Wenchang hadn't been in the Ministry of Personnel and inspected the officials in the capital a few days ago, he heard the story of an official from the Ministry of Punishment saying that he had imprisoned a liar who made alchemy. Liu Runnian couldn’t think of a way to use mercury to coat the inside of the bottle to keep it warm!”
【! Damn it. 】
Xiao Chuchu was so pleasantly surprised, [Did you really get the mercury out? 】
"The alchemy swindler had a bottle that was accidentally stained with mercury. He found that when the elixir was put into it, the warmth remained for a long time, so he used this elixir bottle to store warm elixirs all year round to defraud people of their money."
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel wiped away tears when he talked about it, "This is something we, Brother Wenchang of the Ministry of Personnel, only found out after we carefully evaluated the officials of the Ministry of Justice one by one and checked their daily paperwork."
"Brother Wenchang and his son Liu Runnian talked about this, and that's why we got the thermos water bottle from the Ministry of Industry today!"
"Why is there no credit for the work of our Ministry of Civil Affairs? What do you think, Your Majesty?" The Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs glared at the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Xiao Yunzhou was so speechless 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 Taoist priests. 】
[Ouch, the dead chemical knowledge attacked me again. 】
[Wow, speaking of which, the emperor’s father also loved eating elixirs. How could I forget? The reason why it is easy to die after taking pills is because of these heavy metal substances such as mercury. 】
Xiao Yunzhou's expression froze.
He knew now that Dan couldn't eat it.
This thermal insulation thing is made of mercury extracted from the elixir. As expected, this elixir cannot be eaten.
If you eat someone, you will definitely kick it, and it will always be the same temperature!
Xiao Yunzhou coughed slightly in fear and quickly raised his hand, "Then this thermos bottle will be considered a joint contribution of the Works Department and the Staff Department."
"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 work of the Liu family and his son."
"But Your Majesty, Liu Wenchang said that he dare not take credit for this thermos bottle!"
"Your Majesty, Liu Runnian also said that he will not take credit!"
Xiao Yunzhou was startled, "They don't recognize the credit?"
It's strange. I've only heard of ministers pretending to claim credit, but I've never heard of ministers not claiming credit and pushing it to others.
Xiao Yunzhou was greatly moved.
The Liu family and his son made him, the emperor, look at him with admiration again.
"Aren't you ashamed?" Xiao Yunzhou thought, and looked at the two ministers from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Officials who were fighting, "A father and son who have made meritorious deeds don't want credit, but you guys have their heads broken."
"I have nothing to do with you at all, I am ashamed of you!"
"Learn more from the Liu family's noble character and integrity!"
"..."
The two ministers coughed slightly, their faces feeling a little hot.
The more Xiao Yunzhou talked, the more he felt that the Liu family was good, "If everyone in the world were like the Liu family and his son, who only do things and don't think about asking for rewards or promotions, then there would be no corrupt officials! I can sleep peacefully!"
In the side room next door, Liu Channiang was holding Xiao Chuchu, and her ears gradually turned red.
She knows her own situation.
Dad, brother, how can you be so upright and upright without taking credit?
It wasn’t because of the thermos bottle, it was Xiao Gege’s inner voice that told them.
How old are they? How dare they compete with children for credit?
"Ahem, Your Majesty, it's not like Liu Leonnian didn't ask for a reward. He wanted to enter the palace to see his niece, the noble Sangege. He developed a kind of glazed gold-dyed cloth and dedicated it to little Princess."
"Well, Brother Wenchang also asked for a reward, Your Majesty. He wants to ask you for a pendant blessed by a monk from Qiushan Temple to give to the third princess."
The ministers of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Personnel said so, and their faces were a little hot.
"Look, look, the father and son only think about their own children's things."
"You don't even ask me for a penny of reward!"
Xiao Yunzhou was moved.
It's worth it that the fairy little princess was reborn in the Liu family!
In the next room, Xiao Chuchu was delighted to hear this, [In addition to the thermos, 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 the two of them, half each."
The dispute between the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Personnel was resolved.
Then the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue, who were arguing with each other, came...
"Your Majesty, this kind of bottle that keeps you warm in winter can be rewarded to meritorious soldiers and outstanding generals!"
"You will go to the Xishan military camp for inspection soon, so it's just right to send it together with down jackets and instant noodles to comfort the soldiers."
The Minister of War suggested so.
Xiao Yunzhou's eyes really lit up.

"General, do you really want to betray the Khan? I'm afraid the King of Chu is not a good person either."
In the dead of 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 grain so that they don't starve in winter.
"I only know that the grassland warriors put their heads on their belts and worked 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 of Duoti!"
In the imperial study of 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 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."
