I clearly wanted to be a tyrant, but how did I become the greatest emperor of all time?

Fan Jian was appointed as the Pacification Commissioner of Goryeo. This extraordinary promotion shocked all the civil and military officials in the court.

That is a very important official position.

Fan Jian also wins the emperor's favor.

All the heroes of the Luzhou Campaign were promoted.

Amid all this news that shocked the powerful officials, the news that Tang Xiaoren's son was appointed as the inspector of the armory was not very eye-catching.

[This month's national fortune is being settled! 】

[Initiate a war against Beimang, favor alchemists, confer the title of Guihan Marquis on Hao Te, favor royal relatives, Great Zhou's national fortune: -7000 points! ]

[Great victory in Luzhou, Great Zhou’s national fortune: +10000 points! ]

[National fortune points at the beginning of this month: 9 points! ]

[National Fortune Points at the end of this month: 10 points! ]

[System prompt: The "Record of Extinction" has not been upgraded this month! ]

[Warm reminder: Please work hard and continue to ruin the country's destiny! ]

Seeing the national fortune of 10 points, Li Tian almost vomited blood.

After so much hard work, the national fortune has returned to 10 points!

Why is it so difficult for me to be a tyrant?

There are always loyal ministers who stab me in the back!

I have to work very hard next month and I must ruin the country’s destiny!

February.

Fan Jian stood at the post station outside the capital, looking at a strange car curiously.

This strange vehicle sits on two rows of rails and has five connected carriages.

There were ten horses at the front of the carriage, and a groom was sitting on the roof of the first carriage.

It is said that this is a new railway built by Jiabusi.

Fan Jian's entourage put his things in the carriage, and then Fan Jian got on.

This strange vehicle was called a horse-drawn rail car by the people of the capital.

The driver whipped his whip and the ten horses started running.

Fan Jian sat in the car, reading an ancient book.

Riding on this horse-drawn rail car was unexpectedly comfortable.

Although it goes very fast, it runs very steadily and is more comfortable to ride than an ordinary horse-drawn carriage.

Fan Jian looked at the scenery passing by outside the carriage and felt the speed of the horse-drawn rail car.

Much faster than a horse-drawn carriage!

There are such magical things in the capital?

Fan Jian couldn't help but sigh.

Under the reign of a wise ruler, earth-shaking changes are taking place in the capital.

This time, His Majesty's appointment was very urgent, and Fan Jian did not go home even though he passed by the capital.

Instead, go directly to the port and take a boat to Goryeo.

However, the rail car was still a little bumpy, and Fan Jian actually fell asleep amid the clanging sound of the wheels.

When his attendants woke him up, they had already arrived at the port.

"How long have I been asleep?"

The attendant smiled and said, "The master took a short rest for about three hours."

"In three hours, we've reached the port?"

Fan Jian asked in disbelief.

It takes about a day to travel from the capital to the port by horse carriage.

Even if you ride a horse, it will take more than six hours.

But the horse-drawn rail car arrived in just three hours?

This is faster than riding a horse!

The attendant also sighed, "I also find it hard to believe, but I heard that this was personally supervised by Lord Zhang of the Department of Driving."

"Originally, we wanted to transport the grain directly from the port to the capital."

“We recently added passenger transport, which has been well received by the general public!”

Only then did Fan Jian realize that the entire port's docks were full of workers loading and unloading grain.

"Wait, where does the port get all this food?"

The attendant replied: "I heard it was shipped from Yuhang by sea."

Fan Jian watched the workers carry loads of grain onto the rail cars.

The horse-drawn railcar loaded with grain immediately headed towards the capital.

This shocked Fan Jian.

Fan Jian had once been an imperial censor, so he certainly knew the long-standing problems in the grain transport system.

The water transport caused huge losses and fed countless termites along the way.

However, the grain transport system was the lifeline of the country, and emperors of all dynasties had tried to regulate it, but with little success.

I didn't expect that His Majesty would do such a big thing quietly.

Fan Jian was deeply moved, Your Majesty is truly unfathomable!

Change river transport to sea transport!

Although Fan Jian was not sure about the loss of sea transportation, it was definitely better than transporting a stone of grain by river and having only half a stone left when it was delivered to the capital!

And if sea transportation can really be implemented, then the emperor can take action on river transportation!

Wait, did Your Majesty have a plan in place?

Letting Rand, who has made great contributions, go to Yuhang to serve as the commander-in-chief of the grain transport system must be part of His Majesty's plan!

Fan Jian sighed again, this is the emperor's skill!

Too high!

Rand is the emperor's brother-in-law and has just made an unprecedented contribution.

Let him be in charge of the water transport department, so it will be more convenient for Your Majesty to sort out river transport!

Then, could His Majesty have some purpose in sending me to Goryeo?

Fan Jian thought silently that His Majesty must have some hidden meaning, and he was too stupid to think of it yet!

At this time, an officer in armor came over.

"Your Excellency, I am the Admiral of the Goryeo Navy, Zhao Ming!"

Fan Jian quickly returned the greeting to Zhao Ming.

The Goryeo Pacifier was not just an envoy sent by the Great Zhou to Goryeo.

In order to help Goryeo fight against the Northern Mang, the Great Zhou stationed a navy in Goryeo.

Zhao Ming is the admiral of this navy.

And Fan Jian, the pacification commissioner, is Zhao Ming's superior.

The pacification envoy has enormous power. Compared with ordinary provincial governors, he has more power to execute first and report later and make decisions on the spot!

So Zhao Ming didn't dare to fool his boss at all!

He came to the port from the naval base on Yingzhou Island and personally escorted Fan Jian to his post.

Under the complicated court situation.

Tang Yan, the son of Tang Xiaoren, the chief minister of the cabinet, straightened his official robe and walked into the door of the armory.

The entire armory was filled with a festive atmosphere.

The previous inspector of the armory, Zhang Chai, was deeply loved by everyone in the armory.

Zhang Yingchai really has a talent for forging.

Under the leadership of Zhang Yingchai, the hydraulic hammer in the armory greatly improved work efficiency.

Moreover, Zhang Yingchai was a good official who cared about his subordinates.

The last time he refurbished scrapped military equipment, Zhang Yingchai took out two thousand sets and transformed them into kitchen utensils and farm tools to sell.

The military craftsmen in the armory made a lot of money.

It also allowed the military craftsmen to have a good year.

Therefore, the entire armory was full of respect when talking about Zhang Chai.

Zhang Yuchai's transfer from the armory to the driving department also made the military craftsmen in the armory very depressed.

This time the emperor appointed Tang Yanlai as the inspector of the armory.

When they heard that Tang Yan was Zhang Yuchai's apprentice, everyone in the armory was ecstatic again.

Mr. Zhang’s disciple must be a good official!

All the clerks of the armory stood at the door to welcome Tang Yan, the new inspector.

There was a furtive figure among the clerks in the armory.

Gao Jin was a spy planted by the Western Factory in the armory.

Ever since Li Tian asked Tang Yan last time, Xiao Weizi has been interested in the armory.

So he sent secret agents from the West Factory to sneak into the armory and monitor Tang Yan's movements at all times.

Gao Jin is a guard of the Western Factory, and his job is to monitor Tang Yan's actions.

After Tang Yan entered the armory, he quickly sat down and said:

"What is the current progress of forging weapons in the armory?"

The clerk immediately stepped forward and said, "Sir Tang, since Sir Zhang has supervised the construction of the hydraulic hammer, it will only take half a month to complete the armory's mission goal."
