Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Seeing that Ye Jintang didn't like talking to him, Xiao Mo's eyes fell on the drawings on the table.

It was a huge stack of blueprints of various warships. Ye Jintang looked at them very carefully, and occasionally picked up a pen to calculate the data on them.

"Isn't the war in Xirong more important than building warships? Jintang, why don't you care about the war in Xirong?"

"I believe in General Shi. With such a strong army, it will only be a matter of time before he conquers Xirong."

The soldiers in Shi Bin's hands were equipped with the best equipment in the entire Tianqin Kingdom, and they also had various thunder bombs made of glass. He brought countless carriages to Xirong. There was no need to start a war. He could use thunder bombs all the way to the capital of Xirong. Ye Jintang naturally didn't worry about him.

As for the warships, this is more difficult than conquering the Western Rong. Whether the warships can be built will directly affect the future development of the Qin State.

Xiao Mo was muttering to himself, and Ye Jintang suddenly had an idea.

"Your Majesty, we in the Tianqin State have many skilled craftsmen in mechanical engineering."

"Mechanical techniques are a secret art. There are people who know how to use them, but not many are proficient in them."

"I have an idea. If we can use mechanical technology on warships, the combat effectiveness of our warships will definitely be improved qualitatively."

"Mechanical devices, warships?"

Xiao Mo couldn't keep up with Ye Jintang's imagination at all. He had never thought that mechanical engineering could be used on warships.

"How do you want to use it?"

"That depends on the ability of the master who knows mechanical arts. Your Majesty, do you know a master who is good at mechanical arts?"

Ye Jintang remembered that Xiao Mo gave the children a lot of small mechanical toys.

"There is a carpenter in the palace who is good at mechanical engineering, but he only knows a little bit about mechanical engineering. He can make a small gadget, but I'm afraid he can't design a warship."

Xiao Mo was silent for a moment, and then continued, "There is a master in the capital who is proficient in mechanical engineering, Luo Chunxin, but he has not seen guests for many years. It may not be easy to invite him out."

"As long as people are alive, they have desires. This Master Luo naturally has them too. As long as we can find out the problem, it won't be difficult to ask him to come out of retirement."

"That being said, I'm just afraid that he has no desires or requests."

"Then let me send someone to inquire about it first."

Ye Jintang was a person of action, so she immediately asked Zhou Cong to check the New Year.

At first she thought it would not be difficult to investigate an old man who had reclused himself from the world, but it ended up taking her two days to investigate.

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent. In the past two days, I have only found that Master Luo is at the Lord of Wushan, outside the capital, but I have not found him yet."

Wushan is more than 60 miles away from the capital city. It got its name because of the fog all year round. Literati and elegant guests often climb the mountain to enjoy the sea of ​​clouds.

But every year someone goes missing in the foggy mountains, and by the time they are found, nine out of ten times they are already dead.

Therefore, Wushan has another more terrifying name, Man-Swallowing Mountain.

"Didn't they say that Master Luo lives halfway up Wushan Mountain? How can we not find him in such a clear location?"

Zhou Cong shook his head in shame.

"On the first day, I sent more than 20 guards up the mountain to look for Master Luo, but we didn't find him. On the second day, I sent more than 50 people up the mountain, but still found nothing."

"Some villagers said that it was too foggy to go up the mountain in summer and it was not suitable for searching for people, so they asked them to wait until autumn to go."

Ye Jintang laughed out loud, the battleship couldn’t be built until autumn.

After much thought, Ye Jintang decided to go to Wushan in person to take a look. She didn't believe that she couldn't find a living person living in the mountains.

When Xiao Mo learned that Ye Jintang was going to Wushan, he wanted to go with him.

"It will take at least two days to get to Wushan. Doesn't the emperor care about the affairs of the court anymore?"

"It's okay to be away for just two days."

Xiao Mo had made up his mind and Ye Jintang had no choice but to let him follow him.

The two of them did not take a carriage in a grand manner, but instead rode lightly on horseback to Wushan.

They set out early in the morning, and when they arrived at the foot of Wushan Mountain, smoke from cooking fires was just beginning to rise from the villages below the mountain.

"Zhou Cong, have you asked if there is anyone in the village who is familiar with the Wushan Mountain Road?"

"I asked them, and they rarely go to Wushan. They said that Wushan is foggy all year round, and the stone roads on the mountain are covered with moss. If you are not careful, you can slip off the cliff. Usually, they only dare to move around at the foot of the mountain."

"I see. Let's go to the mountain and take a look."

Ye Jintang handed the reins to the guard beside her and walked up the mountain. Xiao Mo, who was standing beside her, grabbed her hand.

"The mountain road is not easy to walk on. Why don't you wait at the foot of the mountain and I'll take people to the mountain to have a look."

"I'm not made of paper. I can still climb a mountain. Come on, let's go up the mountain together."

Although Ye Jintang's kung fu is not as good as Xiao Mo's, it is not bad either, and climbing a mountain is not a problem for her.

The mountain road in Wushan is well built. Many years ago, Wushan was not called Wushan, but Qingniu Mountain. There was a temple on the mountain at that time. In order to make it more convenient for pilgrims to go up the mountain, the mountain road was built relatively flat.

Later, for some unknown reason, there was fog on the mountain all year round. Over time, the temple was gone and not many people went up the mountain, so people changed Qingniu Mountain to Fog Mountain.

The scenery is quite good as we climb the steps all the way up. The cool summer mountain breeze is very comfortable.

Ye Jintang was in good physical condition and did not hold Xiao Mo back along the way. The two of them almost reached the halfway point of the mountain in one breath.

Someone put a big stone slab on the side of the road with the words "Heavy fog ahead, be careful" written on it.

At first Ye Jintang thought the road was becoming difficult to walk on, but after walking for a distance she realized that the so-called being careful with your step meant being careful of the moss under your feet.

The trees on the mountain were lush and leafy, blocking out the sun. The stone steps were not often walked on and were covered with moss. She couldn't help but shake every time she stepped on them.

Less than two meters to her side was a cliff that was thousands of feet high. If she lost her balance, she would probably fall off the cliff and be killed.

"The road is not easy to walk on. Let's go slowly."

Xiao Mo held Ye Jintang's hand tightly, fearing that she would lose her balance and fall.

"Looking at the moss, it seems that no one has walked here for a long time. I don't know how Master Luo survived in the mountains."

"We cannot understand the life of a hermit. If we don't have meat or vegetables for a day, it's like we haven't eaten anything. But a hermit may only eat one meal a day and drink a bowl of porridge."

Ye Jintang nodded slightly. She estimated that she would never be able to reach this level. She loved all the delicious food in the world and all the lively things around her.

The two of them walked slowly up the mountain hand in hand. The sunlight shone through the leaves onto the mountain road. The light mist around them drifted with the mountain breeze, giving people a beautiful feeling.

Ye Jintang thought that it was no wonder that so many literati and poets took the risk to climb the mountain to see the beautiful scenery. Even though she was well-informed, she couldn't help but take a few more glances when she saw such a beautiful scenery.

"When we get older, we will also find a place with beautiful scenery to retire."

Ye Jintang suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiao Mo beside him.

"Okay, when Pingping grows up, I will give him the throne, and then take you to travel around the world and find a beautiful place to live together in old age."
