Quick Wear: The female supporting role saves the luck of the male supporting role and loses himself

Chapter 96: The Brutality of the Regent King Seduces the Fair-skinned Young Eunuch 42

Huo Yi, who was waiting for Huo Chen to ask questions, always felt his ears burning.

"Tell me about the situation in the palace?"

"Reporting to the prince, the palace has been basically cleared, and no one will be able to get their hands on the Yangxin Palace anymore! Queen Mother Zheng is relatively well behaved. During your absence, the Zheng family tried to push people into the palace, but they were all blocked by Queen Mother Zheng!"

Huo Chen nodded and asked again.

"What about the court?"

"At the beginning, the Cui and Wang families were the most powerful, suppressing many poor scholars, and the new policies were difficult to implement. The Zheng and Xie families both took a wait-and-see attitude. After the Pingyang County incident, these two families quieted down. I think the Xie family is the most difficult to figure out."

Huo Chen tapped the table with his fingers, seeming to be thinking about something.

"How to say?"

"Since the new emperor ascended the throne, all parties have been choosing sides. Only the Xie family has remained neutral. However, the Xie family controls the iron smelting lifeline of the Great Yan Kingdom, and their sphere of influence is in the fiefdom of the King of Shu. We have to be on guard!"

"Has the King of Shu made any unusual moves?"

"The Shu Palace staff has contacts with the Xie family and the Prime Minister of Liao!"

"He is a man who can keep his composure. The old emperor has passed away for three months, and he, the prince whose only fiefdom is Fan, did not come to mourn. He curled up in Shu like a turtle. He was able to endure until now before taking any action. He is quite good!"

Huo Chen said words of appreciation, but there was a sneer on his face.

"You are causing trouble for the Liao Kingdom. You are overreaching!"

"As you wish. Where is the Xie family?"

"Leave the Xie family to Brother Pastor to handle!"

"Yes, I'll take my leave!"

After Huo Chen dealt with the backlog of memorials for a while, he didn't see Lin Yi for a long time, so he asked Wei Qing unhappily.

"Where's Lin Yi?"

"Replying to the prince, I'm going to the imperial kitchen!"

Lin Yi is now delivering the spoils to Xiao Douzi and Xu Dewang!

But when the two of them looked at Lin Yi, who was dressed as a woman, their eyes could not see anything else.

"Are you really Xiao Linzi?" Xiao Douzi couldn't help but asked first.

"Xiao Linzi is dead. Now there is only the Regent King's Junior Sister Lin Yi! Remember that?"

"Yes, Miss Lin is teaching you to watch your mouth, little bean!"

The smooth-talking Xu Dewang quickly responded.

Lin Yi looked at the two reserved people and sighed. It seemed that they could not go back to their previous comfortable way of getting along.

After distributing the gifts she brought back to the two of them, Lin Yi returned to the Yangxin Palace dejectedly.

Huo Chen was still working. Lin Yi was bored, so she came forward and asked, "Brother, can I leave the palace and stay with Master and Mother for a few days?"

"No!" Huo Chen refused without even raising his head.

After the group returned to Beijing, they first sent Xie Qingzhu to the resettlement house. As a result, the old man Shengshou fell in love with the house as soon as he entered and decided not to return to the palace.

After Lin Yi recovered as her daughter, she no longer had to serve Huo Chen all the time, but Huo Chen did not arrange any other residence for Lin Yi in the palace, so Lin Yi could only stay in the Yangxin Palace!

Lin Yi didn't know that her leisure time was only temporary.

When Wei Qing placed the calligraphy copybook and rice paper on the square table for Lin Yi, Lin Yi remembered that when she first arrived in Pingnan County, Huo Chen said that after returning to Kyoto, she would write three pages of large characters a day.

So Lin Yi began her tragic career of practicing calligraphy.

When Huo Chen saw the crooked calligraphy written by Lin Yi, his brows were almost twisted into knots.

When Huo Chen stood behind Lin Yi and held Lin Yi's hand, Lin Yi realized that Huo Chen was beside her. She subconsciously wanted to cover the words she had written because they were so ugly.

“If you know you’re not good at writing, then practice hard!”

Huo Chen began to teach Lin Yi how to write step by step.

"Are you not busy anymore?"

"It doesn't matter. There are a lot of trivial matters. Important matters can't be solved all at once!"

Lin Yi noticed the fatigue in Huo Chen's tone and felt a little distressed.

"Tell me about it, maybe I can help you!"

Huo Chen held Lin Yi's hand and put the brush away, then hugged Lin Yi and sat on the chair, and asked with a smile.

"I know you feel sorry for me, King!"

"Of course I feel bad. What's the most difficult problem right now?"

Looking at the serious Lin Yi, Huo Chen remembered how Lin Yi had directed the epidemic prevention in Pingnan County in an orderly manner. Maybe this girl could really have some unexpected ideas.

"The Xie family controls the lifeline of the Great Yan Kingdom's iron smelting. Every year, the Huo family's army has to pay the Xie family a large amount of silver for the loss of weapons, not counting the food and fodder. The same is true for the people's farm tools."

"Does the Xie family control the iron ore or the iron smelting technology?"

Lin Yi had to understand this first before she could give Huo Chen any advice.

"It's mainly iron smelting technology. The iron forged by the Xie family is currently the purest in the Great Yan Kingdom!"

"Is that so? Go ahead and do your work while I think about it!"

Lin Yi jumped off Huo Chen's legs and urged Huo Chen to go to work. Lin Yi knew nothing about iron smelting. She was trying to use Tangyuan as a cheating device.

Huo Chen didn't care whether Lin Yi could think of a solution. He shook his head helplessly and continued to review the memorials.

"Tangyuan, do you have iron smelting technology suitable for this era?"

"Master, yes, there is, but it's very troublesome to operate. Are you sure you can do it?"

"Of course I can't do it, but we can find professionals to do it and we can just give them the instructions!"

"Oh yeah, why didn't I think of that!"

Under Tangyuan's instruction, Lin Yi wrote and drew. Fortunately, Lin Yi had some basic skills in painting. It took her an afternoon to finally complete the drawing of the necessary tools.

"Look, this is the tool I drew for iron smelting. Now I need a few reliable blacksmiths to help me complete it!"

Huo Chen and Wei Qing studied it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so they had to call the best blacksmith in the Ministry of Industry.

As a result, after Lin Yi's explanation, the blacksmith was amazed and said frankly that with a set of equipment and technology, not only the purity of iron can be improved, but the output will also be greatly increased.

Huo Chen then began to take Lin Yi's talismans seriously. He set up a yard in the palace specifically for Lin Yi and several blacksmiths to conduct research and development, and also arranged for heavy troops to guard the yard.

For the next ten days, Lin Yi practiced calligraphy in the Yangxin Palace, and then went to direct a few blacksmiths in their practical work.

When Huo Yi brought the first piece of iron forged by the blacksmith to Huo Chen, his hands were shaking with excitement.

In recent days, Huo Twelve's intelligence has been delivered continuously, which has made it clear that the King of Shu has rebellious intentions and his attitude towards the Xie family is ambiguous.

Once a war breaks out, if the Xie family is cut off from the supply of iron, it will be fatal.

Now with the forging method provided by Lin Yi, not only the quality of the iron is better, but the forging speed is also faster and the cost is lower. How can Huo Yi not be excited.

When Lin Yi saw the iron block that Huo Yi sent, she curled her lips and was not very satisfied. It was far from modern steel.

"You don't seem very satisfied?" Huo Chen asked puzzledly.

"It should be stronger than the Xie family now, but there is still room for improvement. Take your time!" Lin Yi said arrogantly.

The Tangyuan in my consciousness felt a toothache when he heard it, as if it was all your credit.

"You mean, it can be better?" Huo Yi asked excitedly.

For a warrior, weapons are the best companions. Having stronger and sharper weapons has always been their dream.
