Chapter seven hundred and eighty-ninth kill the chicken to warn the monkey

Xiao Lingyan gave Zhao Ruxi a thumbs up: "Honey, you are the one who got the script for the protagonist."

Zhao Ruxi smiled at him: "That's because I have your political backing, so I can move the technology over without restraint. In the previous situation, even if I wanted to change the world, I wouldn't dare to do so. I have to

Save your own life first."

Xiao Lingyan hugged Zhao Ruxi and kissed her. The couple hugged each other and said nothing.

His wife had brought out new farm tools, so naturally Xiao Lingyan couldn't just take them to the Ministry of Works quietly, but showed them to Xiao Ge first.

Xiao Ge saw the drawing of a hand-held harvester and asked Xiao Lingyan: "What are you going to do with this harvester?"

"Just like those small farm tools, just draw the drawings and send them to the provincial governments and county governments to post them. Whoever wants them can go to the blacksmith shop and make them themselves," Xiao Lingyan said.

This is free for people all over the country to use.

Xiao Ge thought for a moment and remembered that someone had reported to him that Zhao Ruxi had gone to the Ministry of Industry to inquire about the sales of harvesters two days ago, and he suddenly figured it out.

He asked: "Zhiwei came up with this handheld one because all the large harvesters were almost sold out?"

Xiao Lingyan nodded: "Exactly."

Xiao Ge shook his head, couldn't help laughing, and praised: "What a ghost."

Large harvesters were sold by the imperial court. Because they were easy to use and saved labor, they sold well. Almost all wealthy families and landowners in the capital and other places bought them.

This alone took a lot of money out of the pockets of wealthy families and landowners, filling the treasury that had been empty due to the war in the previous two years.

But if the hand-held harvester comes out first, or both appear together, and there is a free and easy-to-use hand-held harvester, who will buy a large harvester? If the large harvester cannot be sold, the court will not be able to take it from the pockets of the wealthy families.

Take out the money.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ge sighed with emotion: "Xiao Wu, your wife is not only extremely smart and can make so many useful farm tools, but her business acumen is also top-notch. It's a pity that she is a woman. Otherwise I would definitely have to

Train her as a prime minister."

"If she were a man, how could you have such a good princess and such a smart and intelligent grandson?" Xiao Lingyan almost rolled his eyes at his father.

If he wants his wife to change gender, there is no way to steal someone from him.

Xiao Ge: "..."

He looked at his son intently, picked up a few memorials from the table, and threw them in front of Xiao Lingyan: "You asked people to impeach these two people, right?"

Xiao Lingyan knew what was going on without even looking.

He nodded directly and said: "Father, these two people, I suggest that you either remove them from their posts or demote them according to the seriousness of the circumstances."

Xiao Ge was speechless: "Did I tell you that it's not that important to you?"

He sat in the emperor's seat, and he knew exactly what the ministers below were doing.

But he can still tolerate minor problems within a certain range. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. If everyone is a critic, he can't stand it.

Of these two ministers, one was greedy for money and nepotistic when he was free, and caused a little trouble that had little impact; the other's son had a wife and children at home, but he liked a commoner woman, and the other was unwilling, so he

So he set up a trap to force her to become a concubine.

Which aristocratic family in the capital wouldn't check out a lot of problems like this? As long as they are capable, not just a bunch of people, and they don't make too much trouble, he won't punish them severely. Most of the time, he will just call them over and beat them up, and that's it.

.

But these two courtiers were looking for death. One found out Xiao Lingyan's whereabouts and asked his daughter to meet Xiao Lingyan twice; the other sent his wife to attack Concubine Cen, and asked his daughter to get close to Zhao Ruxi.

Of course, trying to get close to Zhao Ruxi was not successful. The lady didn't even touch Zhao Ruxi's side, and was blocked by the guards at a distance. Worried that Zhao Ruxi's mood would be affected, the guards and the maids tacitly agreed not to do this.

Talk to Zhao Ruxi, but report to Xiao Lingyan.

Other courtiers had this intention, but did not dare to go too far. For example, Tao Jian, Minister of the Ministry of War, and his wife intended to give their daughter to Xiao Lingyan as a concubine, but she was afraid of angering Xiao Lingyan and Zhao Ruxi, so she did not dare to do anything if the test failed.

But these two have been seeking death.

Xiao Lingyan wanted to use them as a target to scare the monkeys.

Hearing Xiao Ge's words, Xiao Lingyan snorted coldly: "Who do they think I am? I am a dignified prince of the Jin Dynasty. How can I be coveted by cats and dogs? Even if I say it is impossible, I will look down on me, and I will come to beat him.

Idea, then don’t blame me for being a dirty trick."

Originally, Xiao Ge didn't take this matter seriously. A gentle lady is a gentleman, but on the contrary, the same is true.

His son is handsome, tall, talented, and capable. It is normal for a lady from the capital to fall in love with him.

But now that Xiao Lingyan said this, things seemed to have changed.

He didn't look good either. He nodded and said, "Since you want to punish them, you should do it as you wish."

As he spoke, he raised the ink pen and said, "Tell me, how do you want to deal with it?"

Xiao Lingyan explained the solutions he had thought of one by one.

Xiao Ge finished writing and threw it to Duan Chen next to him: "Draw up the decree."

After dealing with this matter, he looked up at Xiao Lingyan again: "What is Zhiwei's plan for that sewing machine?"

Xiao Lingyan told Zhao Ruxi's plan.

Xiao Ge was not unhappy after hearing that Zhao Ruxi did not plan to dedicate it directly to the court, but planned to build a factory with Princess Shang De.

Although the sewing machine had not been built yet, after reading the above description, Xiao Ge knew that it must be something that could bring the craft of sewing clothes to a new level, and it was likely to promote the development of society.

It would be much more comfortable for Zhao Ruxi to keep such things in his own hands than to take them to the Ministry of Industry and become a tool for some people to make money.

The meat is rotten in the pot. After Zhao Ruxi and Princess Shang Dechang made money, they would not use it to strengthen themselves and seize power from the royal family like those wealthy families. They took it from the people and used it for the people.

He truly thinks about the people.

"Zhiwei has created such a good thing. Ask her for me what reward she wants." He said.

Xiao Lingyan shook his head: "Zhiwei has nothing to ask for. But I want to ask for a favor from my father. Seeing that Zhiwei is such a talented person and can bring unprecedented new agricultural tools and machines to Dajin, can you not give in?

Those people are coming to harass me and her? Can't we just let us live together quietly?"

Xiao Ge was startled and stared at his son: "Are you telling the truth? Don't you regret it?"

Xiao Lingyan shook his head: "I will never regret it. In this life, I only have Zhiwei."
