The Prodigal Son's Happy Life - Chapter 316
[Chapter 316 Good]
When Fang Xiu thought of this, he suddenly seemed to remember something. He bowed to Emperor Chu and said, “Thank you, Your Majesty.”
When everyone saw this scene, they felt a little ridiculous in their hearts.
Such a naughty child in their eyes turned out to be the only minister who had been awarded a title in the past fifty years.
Although they thought so, no one had the slightest dissatisfaction.
After all, they have all seen the power of this heavenly punishment with their own eyes, and they also know what this heavenly punishment means to the court. Granting an earl is really nothing.
In fact, having said all that, Fang Xiu was not very excited about being knighted.
No matter how difficult this title is, he already has the status of being the first heir to Prince An Ping.
He was happy just because Emperor Chu finally gave him some substantial benefits, instead of just encouraging him like before.
For other civil and military ministers, His Majesty the Emperor’s encouragement may be more inspiring and important than substantial rewards.
But for Fang Xiu, the old emperor’s encouragement was worthless.
“How much of this Heavenly Punishment can be produced in one day?”
After the matter of the title was over, Emperor Chu turned his attention to Heavenly Punishment again.
He looked at the huge hole caused by that day’s punishment and asked the question he was most concerned about at the moment.
Although the power of Heaven’s Punishment is astonishing, the output is low and it still cannot pose a substantial threat to the grassland tribes.
Perhaps in the early stages, it can rely on its power to make the prairie cavalry fearful.
However, as time goes by, it will inevitably be exposed. When the time comes, Guizhou’s skills will be exhausted and there will be endless troubles.
When several pavilion elders heard Emperor Chu’s question, their excitement had passed away, and they felt much soberer as if cold water had been poured on their heads.
Your Majesty is right.
Although the power of Heavenly Punishment is astonishing, if the output is extremely low, it will not be able to turn the tide of the war.
And everyone’s faces showed worry.
The astonishing power now consumes a lot of material and manpower.
Can the national treasury’s silver deposits be affordable?
Can it be made in time before the grassland tribes invade the northern area?
This is a huge problem.
If there is no way to solve it, this natural punishment can only be a delaying tactic and cannot cure the root cause of the dispute between the court and the grassland.
When Fang Xiu heard this, he naturally knew what they were worried about. A smile appeared on his face and he said: “This generation of Tianpu is only the first generation version, and its performance is not stable. One out of ten is misfiring. Therefore, There is no need to mass-produce it.
However, if His Majesty wants to mass-produce this first-generation Heavenly Punishment, he can produce more than a hundred in one day.”
“More than a hundred?”
Emperor Chu was stunned when he heard this answer. In place.
The expression on his face was frozen, as if he was in disbelief.
Even the emperor, whose expression remained unchanged despite the collapse of Mount Tai, could not help but open his mouth at this moment, as if he was shocked.
How could such a powerful artifact be produced over a hundred times in just one day?
Although one out of ten is bad, this is far beyond his imagination.
You know, he originally thought that being able to produce one in a day was already extremely efficient.
When Emperor Chu got this answer, he couldn’t help but feel excited.
At this moment, many, many pictures appeared in his mind.
The emperor of the ages, the king of all nations, the Khan of Heaven,
etc., competed to appear in his mind.
For a moment, he couldn’t control himself and wanted to shout loudly and roar.
However, the rules of being a monarch prevented him from doing so, so he just coughed twice, looked at Fang Xiu with very serious eyes, and said seriously: “Is what Fang Aiqing said true?”
This question is a bit confusing.
Is it possible that what he said could still be false?
So, isn’t it the crime of deceiving the emperor?
In fact, if it were anyone else, Emperor Chu would definitely not ask this question again, but that was really not the case for the person in front of him.
When Fang Xiu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, wanting to curse.
But he still held back and said: “It’s absolutely true, I don’t dare to lie in the slightest!”
After receiving the affirmative answer, Emperor Chu smiled, an extremely heroic smile.
He walked up to Fang Xiu and patted him on the shoulder, wanting to say some words of encouragement.
However, these words of encouragement that came out of my mouth casually on weekdays felt a bit frivolous when they came to my mouth, and I swallowed them back.
After thinking for a long time, I didn’t know what to say. In the end, I just patted my shoulder heavily and said one word: “Okay!”
Thousands of words turned into one word ‘good’.
It can be seen that Emperor Chu was excited at this moment.
Not only the Emperor of Chu, but also the four court princes behind him were also excited beyond words.
Especially Mr. Ma, at this time, he was smiling as if he was married to his wife, and he couldn’t close his mouth.
The three bachelors beside him said something, but he just smiled and said nothing.
After laughing, seeing that His Majesty had finished encouraging him, he finally couldn’t help himself, walked quickly to his nephew, patted him hard on the shoulder, and said with a hearty smile: “What a good boy, you are indeed my nephew!
When you were a baby, I held you in my arms at the Anping residence. At that time, I knew that this child would have great potential in the future! If this
is indeed the case, it seems that I have a good vision. This really makes me happy.
With the Heavenly Punishment in the imperial court and the Heavenly Punishment in each government, is there any possibility of instability in the world,
let alone those barbarians from the Qiyan tribe who only know how to ride horses and shoot arrows ?
All the tribes on the grassland combined, facing the heavenly punishment of our great Chu, would be like a mantis trying to block a chariot, and they would be vulnerable.”
After speaking for a long time, he seemed to realize that he was a little out of sorts, and he finally restrained himself. At the end of the day, he patted Fang Xiu on the shoulder and said: “Okay, you are so good!”
Standing in front of Ma Wenhua, Fang Xiu rubbed his shoulders and really wanted to kick him. He kicked him away.
Emperor Chu patted himself on the shoulder. It was just a symbolic pat. What this old guy didn’t know was that he thought he had a grudge against him. At this moment, he was going to kill himself!
On the way to send Emperor Chu back to the city, everyone had returned to normal. Although they were still excited, they were not nearly as crazy as before.
Emperor Chu walked in the front.
Fang Xiu was a step behind.
Further behind, there were the princes in the court. At this moment, although they were behind Fang Xiu, they did not show any dissatisfaction.
When he was approaching the official road, Emperor Chu turned around, looked at Fang Xiu in front of him, and suddenly said: “Xin Anbo, you really gave me a surprise today”
