Chapter 163 Military Supplies

After Captain Xu left, Jiang Li began to write memorials to Nangong Qinghe.

She informed Nangong Qinghe of all the major moves that Longmen Trading Company was going to make recently, and gave a detailed introduction to the "Clairvoyance" and "Voice Transmitter" produced by Longmen Tiangong, and suggested that the army be equipped with these two items.

She also urged Nangong Qinghe to quickly determine the candidate for the president of Longmen Academy. She wanted to quickly get rid of the affairs of Longmen Academy.

Finally, she complained that she was too busy. The Longmen Trading Company was busy and she had to worry about everything. Now that the East Depot had come to her asking for help, she was sure that the Jinyiwei would also need her help in the future.

She has just recovered from a serious injury and needs to rest. Now you want to tire her to death by making her get up early every day to attend court?

She requested to attend the court only on the first and fifteenth day of each lunar month. If the emperor disagreed, she would have to slip away!

When Nangong Qinghe received her memorial, he was really angry and amused. How could A'li be so lovely?

Yuan Bao saw Nangong Qinghe holding the memorial from Marquis Jing'an, reading it again and again, unable to suppress his laughter, and also asked in a humorous tone: "Your Majesty, what did the Marquis say that made Your Majesty so pleased?"

Nangong Qinghe smiled and said, "Good news. I'm announcing that the Duke of Zhenguo and the Minister of War are coming to see me."

When the Duke of Zhenguo and the Minister of War arrived at the imperial study, Nangong Qinghe took out the "Clairvoyance" and a small "voice transmitter" that Jiang Li presented along with the memorial.

After the former Minister of War Zhu Dayong was implicated in the "Zhang Yu case" and was dismissed, he was replaced by a man from the lineage of the Duke of Zhenguo, Ma Tengyun, the former commander of the Shanxi Xingdu.

The two Zhenguogongs knew about the "Clairvoyance", but they had never seen the "transmitter". They couldn't help but wonder: "Your Majesty, what is this?"

Nangong Qinghe handed the voice transmitter to Yuanbao: "Put this thing next to your mouth and try to say something."

Yuan Bao took it in confusion, put his mouth close to the transmitter, and shouted loudly: "Long live the emperor!"

The loud and resonant voice echoed in the imperial study, startling both the Duke of Zhenguo and Ma Tengyun.

The Duke of Zhenguo smiled and said, "Is this the item that the Marquis of Jing'an gave to General Weiwu on the day of the palace banquet?"

He also always wondered how a rooster could make a crowing sound that echoed throughout the palace?

Cui Jue told him that Jiang Li made the rooster crow towards a "transmitter" so that it could make such a high-pitched and loud sound.

Now that he had seen the real thing, the Duke of Zhenguo took it curiously and looked at it over and over for a long time, but he still couldn't understand how this thing could amplify the sound.

Nangong Qinghe said: "This 'Clairvoyance' was also improved by Longmen Tiangong. It can see things far away very clearly."

"Marquis Jing'an suggested that we equip the army with Longmen Tiangong's 'Clairvoyance' and 'Voice Transmitter'. What do you two nobles think?"

Ma Tengyun's eyes lit up: "Great! With this 'transmitter', the commander's orders can be quickly transmitted to the three armies on the battlefield."

The Duke of Zhenguo stroked his beard and laughed: "Even in a verbal battle on the front line, the enemy can be scolded so badly that they have no chance to defend themselves. Hahahaha..."

Nangong Qinghe couldn't help but smile when he thought of that scene: our soldiers holding loudspeakers, their loud and clear curses echoing throughout the battlefield, shocking the enemy soldiers on the spot.

Ma Tengyun played with the "clairvoyance" again and praised it: "It is much clearer than the clairvoyance sold on the market. It also looks so exquisite and easy to carry."

The Duke of Zhenguo asked, "But was it written by Doctor Mo?"

Nangong Qingdao nodded: "Yes."

The Duke of Zhenguo praised: "As expected of a descendant of the Mohist school! Marquis Jing'an is also a man of insight and strategy!"

Nangong Qinghe deeply agreed with this.

He wrote "approved" on Jiang Li's memorial and handed it to the Duke of Zhenguo: "Regarding the military procurement, let grandfather, Minister Ma and Longmen Tiangong discuss it."

"I will obey your orders!"

When it came to choosing the president of Longmen Academy, Nangong Qinghe thought of someone.

It was Feng Wuhu who had stood up for him, rallied other successful candidates in the same imperial examination and jointly wrote a petition to oppose the abolition of the crown prince and the enthronement of the Prince of Qi, and was dismissed and investigated by the old emperor.

After being secretly sent out of the capital by Longmen Tiangong, he was summoned back and restored to his original position after Nangong Qinghe ascended the throne.

He asked Yuanbao to call Feng Wuhu over.

Feng Wuhu came to the imperial study nervously.

"Greetings to His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!"

Nangong Qinghe smiled slightly: "No need to be polite, just stand up."

He handed Feng Wuhu the proposal Jiang Li had written previously regarding Longmen Academy.

"Feng Qing, take a look at this first."

Feng Wuhu took it respectfully and looked at it carefully. His eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Your Majesty wants to set up such an academy?"

"Exactly. What do you think, Mr. Feng?"

Feng Wuhu said excitedly: "Great! But are you imitating Mozi's private school?"

The private school of Mohism founded by Mozi was recorded in history as having "many disciples, filling the whole world" and produced many talented people.

Nangong Qinghe nodded and said, "It is not necessary to imitate it completely. Use the Mohist private school as a framework and make appropriate adjustments to meet the needs of Da Chu."

"I wonder if Mr. Feng is willing to serve as the principal of Longmen Academy and cultivate talents to prosper the Great Chu?"

Feng Wuhu was overjoyed, as he naturally knew the value of this academy.

The pragmatic talents cultivated by this academy may very likely become the team for the young emperor to govern the world in the future!

And as the first principal, he will also go down in history!

"That is what I wish for, but I dare not ask for it!" Feng Wuhu knelt respectfully on the ground and said loudly, "I accept your order!"

Nangong Qinghe said with a smile: "Doctor Mo is the next great man of the Mo family. You can go and discuss something with him."

"Longmen Academy was also planned by Marquis Jing'an. If Feng Qing has any questions, please ask Marquis Jing'an."

"In addition, Marquis Jing'an and the Queen are planning to set up a girls' academy, and they will also need Feng Qing's assistance."

At this moment, he also felt that Jiang Li was really busy, and he admired her energy even more. She had created such a big career in such a short period of time.

The business of Longmen Trading Company has been expanding, with branches gradually opening up in various parts of Da Chu, and the monthly profits are astronomical.

As the major shareholder of Longmen, he was probably the emperor in the Chu Dynasty who was least short of money.

Feng Wuhu was stunned when he heard this. Is Mo Qillang from Longmen Tiangong the next great master of the Mohist school?

Your Majesty can actually get the support of the Mohist School!

Was Longmen Academy also the idea of ​​Marquis Jing'an?

That’s right, wasn’t Longmen Commercial founded by Marquis Jing’an?

However, the business of Longmen today is no longer commerce-oriented, but has become a reserve of talent and technology for the current emperor!

He couldn't help but admire that Marquis Jing'an's move was truly brilliant.

Longmen Trading Company is independent of the imperial court and will not be constrained by various forces within the court. It can develop in any way it wants.

Although the current emperor is young and inexperienced, he controls the Longmen Trading Company. He has money, people, and technology, and he does not have to care about the faces of those old ministers at all.

No wonder Marquis Jing'an, despite being a woman, could become the emperor's chief adviser.
