I became an official of the imperial court by eating melons when I was still a baby

Chapter 172 No matter how much precautions we took, we still couldn't prevent this silly nephew

System: [Well, it should be the advanced waterwheel. This gentleman is the Minister of Industry Zhou Tishou. But why didn't Minister Zhou mention the kinetic crystal? Without it, the waterwheel can't function. Could it be that it hasn't been discovered yet...]

When Minister Zhou heard this, he panicked and racked his brains to think: Kinetic crystal? Is it the kinetic crystal mentioned once in the booklet?

Ahhhhh…he only said in the booklet that farm tools needed kinetic crystals, but he really didn’t see anywhere that had them!!

Minister Zhou hurriedly groped in his arms, took out the two booklets he had prepared long ago, and quickly began to look through them!

found it!

The last sentence on the last page of the booklet reads: If this farm tool is to be used to its maximum effect, it needs to be used in conjunction with a kinetic energy crystal. Simply install the kinetic energy crystal in the groove in the center of the farm tool.

Minister Zhou looked at the back of the booklet again, but it was gone. How could it be gone?

It doesn't even say what the kinetic crystal looks like, or where to find it?

According to the delivery time of Xiao Fuguan's previous purchases from the points mall, the goods should reach the recipient within one hour after the order is placed, and the kinetic crystal should appear together with the high-level water truck!

Did he miss some detail?

Emperor Yuan of Jin noticed Shangshu Zhou's panic-stricken movements, his face darkened, and he immediately had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the next moment, I heard Minister Zhou's somewhat unconfident voice: "Your Majesty, what I am holding in my hand are the two books stored on the farm tools, one is a production manual, and the other is a user manual."

"The production manual is extremely detailed. I and my colleagues in the Ministry of Industry have studied it in depth. The Ministry of Industry is capable of producing this farm tool according to the production manual."

"It's just that I overlooked a detail..."

As he spoke, Minister Zhou raised one of the booklets in his hand, glanced at Emperor Jin Yuan with a guilty look, and continued, "I only paid attention to the amazing functions written in the manual, but ignored the last sentence in the booklet..."

"To use this farm tool, a kinetic crystal is needed, but I did not find anything that looks like a kinetic crystal inside the collapsed part..."

After saying this, Minister Zhou immediately bowed his head, touched the ground with his head, and shouted: "This humble minister is incompetent! But please give this humble minister some time, this humble minister will dig three feet deep to find the kinetic crystal!!"

After saying this, Minister Zhou raised the two books in his hands above his head. Eunuch Li saw this and quickly walked over to take the books carefully away, then quickly returned to the platform and placed the books on the dragon table.

Emperor Yuan of Jin had a stern face and said nothing. The atmosphere in the hall was silent for a while.

At this moment, the eunuch's voice was heard outside the hall.

"Your Majesty, there is a man outside the palace gate who wants to see you. He claims to be Zhou Da, the nephew of Minister Zhou of the Ministry of Works. He said that there is an urgent matter regarding the farm tools from last night, and he must report it to Your Majesty in person."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuan of Jin turned to look at Minister Zhou. The meaning in his eyes was very clear: Why is your nephew here at this time?

Minister Zhou was sweating profusely under the stare of Emperor Yuan of Jin. He didn't know where this silly nephew got the courage to enter the palace to meet the emperor!

Just when Minister Zhou wanted Emperor Yuan of Jin to forgive his silly nephew for his ignorance, the system suddenly spoke.

[Hey, the kinetic crystal appeared! ]

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall instantly warmed up a lot.

Minister Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. It was good to have news. He hoped that his sister could give him more information, such as where the kinetic crystal was and what it looked like!

Qin Yue: [Ah? Sister, how did you know that? ]

The system explained: [The eunuch who just passed the message mentioned Zhou Da, so I checked and found that Zhou Da brought the kinetic crystal into the palace to meet the emperor! ]

Qin Yue: [Oh, Zhou Da is really good! Not only was he the first to find the advanced waterwheel at the collapsed area, but he also found the kinetic crystal that even Minister Zhou hadn't found! Now that everything is complete, it seems that the waterwheel issue has finally been resolved!]

Emperor Yuan of Jin and all the court officials: What?! That Zhou Da is here with the kinetic crystal?

Emperor Jin Yuan immediately signaled to Eunuch Li, who understood and shouted loudly to the outside of the palace: "Announce Zhouda to enter the palace!"

Soon, Zhou Da followed the eunuchs into the Golden Palace and stood beside Shangshu Zhou.

Zhou Da first saluted respectfully to Emperor Yuan of Jin, and shouted loudly, with some barely perceptible nervousness and excitement in his voice, "I, Zhou Da, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

"Stand up!" Emperor Yuan of Jin responded quickly, his eyes fixed on what Zhou Dashang was holding in his hand.

Zhou Da turned his head and shouted to Shangshu Zhou again.

"uncle!"

When Minister Zhou heard this address, his hair stood on end. No matter how careful he was, he still couldn't prevent this silly nephew from talking nonsense in front of His Majesty! !

Minister Zhou was roaring in his heart at this moment. If he wasn't in the court, he would definitely beat up this stupid boy immediately! He had no choice but to scold him in a low voice: "In the court, you can't call me uncle, call me Minister Zhou! Hurry! How many times have I told you!!"

"Okay, uncle!" Zhou Da replied expressionlessly.

Minister Zhou immediately let out a groundhog scream in his heart: Aa ...

When the officials around heard the conversation between the two, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Especially the Second Prince, his mouth was almost stretched to his ears, and his throat made a strange low "goose, goose, goose, goose" sound.

Qin Yue: [Uh... the second prince is no longer the Prime Minister of Turtle, but has changed his career to become a goose again? ? Is he trying to put together an animal world, right...]

Hearing this, everyone in the hall tried hard to hold back the laughter that was about to burst out, but the expressions on their faces betrayed their true thoughts - their mouths were pursed, as if they were smiling but not smiling.

Even Zhou Da, who heard Qin Yue's thoughts for the first time, had a faint smile in his eyes.

But when the Second Prince heard Qin Yue's words, he did not look embarrassed at all. Instead, he stroked his chin thoughtfully, thinking to himself: Animal world... Could it be that the young official was praising him for his ability to adapt to changing circumstances?

After all, in nature, if every animal wants to survive in the world, it must have its own unique strengths and have a deep understanding of its own shortcomings. Only in this way can it make the best use of its strengths and avoid its weaknesses!

All this knowledge was carefully summarized by him from various travel notes. If not, how could he know so much? Hehehe!

Xiao Fuguan said that he could create an animal world. Doesn't this mean that he is extremely intelligent and good at adapting like those clever and flexible animals?

Thinking of this, the second prince couldn't help but feel secretly proud.

Emperor Jin Yuan looked at his son's proud face, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He was sure that the boy would not think that the young official's words were a cricket to him, and might even think that he was praising him! !

Otherwise, he wouldn't have such an expression!!!

Emperor Yuan of Jin suddenly felt a headache. How could he have given birth to such a weird son?

Seeing his silly son being laughed at by the court officials but still laughing foolishly, Emperor Yuan of Jin could not help but roll his eyes and quickly shifted his gaze to the prince. Out of sight, out of mind!

Looking at the dignified and self-possessed prince, Emperor Yuan of Jin felt a little comforted. Fortunately, his son was relatively normal.

At this moment, the prince, who was considered "normal" by Emperor Yuan of Jin, was thinking about something else.
