Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 45 Reward Chen Yi
The empress behind the crowd was a little curious when she heard the ministers in front of her talking like this. She turned to Eunuch Li next to her and said, "I'll go up and have a look."

Eunuch Li stepped forward immediately and let the minister in front of him make way.

The empress walked to the edge of the big pit unhurriedly, looked down into it, and took a few steps back instantly in fright.

After all, this pit is a bit deep, and I feel a little flustered when I look at it suddenly.

The empress adjusted her breathing.

Only then slowly stretched out his head again, observing carefully.

I found that the pit was very round, and the soil on the surrounding inner wall was very smooth and seemed to be very solid. It did not seem like it would fall down after digging with tools.

It seems that it is convenient to take advantage of this opportunity and spread it over a circle of stone slabs.

The empress pointed to the deep pit and asked the minister of the Ministry of Industry: "This pit is quite deep, and it is better, but is it just like this? There is no water here!"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry immediately bowed down to salute.

"Report to Your Majesty! As long as the territory on the drill head is cleaned up, it will be fine to drill down below this height, as long as there is water, Your Majesty, please look."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry walked to the side of the machine and pointed to the position behind the drill bit.

"Chen Shilang calls this a mechanical arm. It can be stretched and moved just like our arms. Now it is folded together and looks very short. When it is opened, it is very long and can completely dig out water."

Hearing what Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry said, not only the empress was surprised, but even the civil and military officials, as if they saw something surprising again, started to discuss with a loud bang.

This is simply amazing.

They had never seen such an ingenious machine with so many functions.

After having this, I still worry about the difficulty of digging a well. This is like a miracle!

The chief minister of the cabinet was even more excited. He immediately took a step forward, raised his eyebrows with both hands, and bowed to salute: "Your Majesty! This is simply a miracle. With such an exquisite machine, the people of Longxi can be saved. Your Majesty! I believe that Chen Shilang It deserves a reward!"

When the other civil and military officials heard what the chief minister of the cabinet said, they all came to their senses.

They followed suit.

"Yes, Your Majesty! Shilang Chen has such a great talent. He deserves to be rewarded. Not only has he solved the problem in Longxi, but we will no longer have to worry about drought in the future. It will benefit the entire Great Wu Kingdom!"

"Your Majesty, I sincerely request to reward Minister Chen."

All of a sudden, civil and military officials, ministers, such voices asking for instructions continued one after another.

Many ministers who had waited and watched or dismissed it before they came here were already convinced. After all, the facts were in front of them, and they had never seen such a miraculous machine before.

After going down gently, a big hole was dug as soon as it came up.

Not only does it save effort, there is no danger at all.

The speed is very fast. At this speed, it is estimated that a well can be dug in less than two days.

As far as they knew, the well in the previous imperial capital must have been dug for more than half a year, and there were countless casualties. The entrance was not as wide as it was at this time.

So these ministers asked the empress to reward Chen Yi one after another, and they were all sincere.

The empress was also shocked in place for a while, and even when she first came, the anger in Chen Yi's heart dissipated a lot.
Although Chen Yi's ability to irritate people is second to none, he is really capable.

And this kind of ability surpasses all civil and military officials.

The empress is very emotional now, how did Chen Yi's brain grow?

They are obviously the same, but when they grew up in the Great Wu Kingdom, how come the things in their minds are so different?
The empress looked around, and the civil and military officials standing beside her. The excitement gradually calmed down when she heard that Chen Yi was going to be rewarded.

The empress was very depressed, and she was often scolded miserably.

These ministers don't stand by their side, but they still think it's right, even now.

I was full of anger, I couldn't let it out and I was holding it back, giving Chen Yi a reward, it's simply too aggrieved, isn't it?
But at this time, the empress had been placed on the stove, unable to get off the tiger.

The empress thought about the small amount of money in the bank again, and decided to buy some other things that could only be viewed but not spent, which seemed good.

The empress nodded generously: "Chen Shilang has such an amazing talent, of course he should be rewarded, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, didn't you say that Chen Shilang is in the Ministry of Industry? Call him over and say that I will be rewarded. "

The Minister of Industry, who had been smiling just now, suddenly calmed down.

Recalling that when he first came in, Chen Yi should have known that the Empress had come to the Ministry of Industry.

But after such a long time, Chen Yi has not come out to face the saint. It is self-evident what this means, and the sweat on the forehead of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry immediately came down.

I could only bite the bullet and said: "Yes, Your Majesty! I will send someone to invite him right now. Minister Chen should be busy at the moment."

After the Minister of Works finished speaking, he winked at his subordinate standing next to him.

After the craftsmen from the Ministry of Works left, the Minister of Works hurriedly explained.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that Chen Shilang came to the Ministry of Industry on the third day of his health regimen. He was still wounded. He discussed with his ministers how to save the people in Longxi. Later, he stayed in the Ministry of Industry day and night. Discuss with the artisans."

Minister of the Ministry of Industry swallowed his saliva when he said this, and saw that the empress seemed to be listening carefully. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry observed for a while, but he couldn't tell whether the empress was angry or not at this time, so he could only continue to explain.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that the temperature in the place where the craftsmen work is very high. Chen Shilang is injured, and after a long period of hard work, the injury has been repeated. The minister feels a little distressed, but Chen Shilang Never took it to heart."

The more the minister of the Ministry of Industry said, the more emotional he became: "Chen Shilang has never complained about suffering or being tired. Sometimes, because of a small detail, he has to discuss with the craftsmen until midnight. When the craftsmen are gone, Chen Shilang himself has to continue to think , never feel hard!"

When all the civil and military officials heard this, a trace of emotion flashed across their faces.

Especially the chief minister of the cabinet shook his head and sighed, his eyes were reddish, and he murmured to himself.

"He is a pillar of talent. Such a talented person is really a blessing to the great military country."

Although the Minister of the Ministry of Industry heard the discussions around him, he planned to continue his efforts: "What's more, it was too late, and the curfew was already in place. Chen Shilang built a floor shop in the Craftsman's Workshop of the Ministry of Industry for one night, and now even more."

The Minister of Industry took a look at the direction of the craftsman's workshop.

"Since the research on this machine was successful, Minister Chen and the girls have been working overtime to produce it."
