Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

Coal, here called burning rock, is the main fuel for steelmaking and is under state control.

The discovery of a burning rock mine in Mou County drew the Emperor's attention, and the Ministry of Works convened an emergency meeting overnight to discuss mining matters.

Song Jinxiu reminded: "Fire extinguishing must be comprehensive and thorough, and mining can only be carried out after the ground cools down. Open-pit rock mines must also be careful of landslides."

After much deliberation, Song Jinxiu decided to share the glass recipe.

First, she couldn't swallow this big cake. Instead of letting someone with ulterior motives covet it, it would be better to hand it over directly to His Majesty.

Second, she is very busy. As the saying goes, she should do her job and be in the right position. She is now an official appointed by the court and holds the title of princess. She has the obligation to enrich the national treasury.

Third, she has the emperor's people by her side. Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism must be carried out to the end.

Song Jinxiu entered the palace carrying a box.

In the imperial study, Cui Qiu was applying eye drops to her.

"Your Majesty, Dr. Song was clamoring to enter the Imperial Observatory, but after entering, she wreaked havoc and then slipped away. Your Majesty, what does she think of the Imperial Observatory? It's full of astronomical instruments, not her playthings."

Liu Renxiu frowned: "Oh? What did she break?"

Cui Qiu took out a fan-shaped feather banner and a strip-shaped feather banner made of chicken feathers and said, "Your Majesty, the fan-shaped one weighs five taels, and the strip-shaped one weighs eight taels. They are used to measure wind speed."

Dr. Song entered the dome and plucked two feathers from the five taels. She was not satisfied with just the five taels, she also did not let go of the eight taels.

Your Majesty, look, she's plucked all the eight ounces. How can you measure the wind speed, Your Majesty?

"Pfft," Zhou Kunran laughed insincerely, "It's already been pulled out like this, it's a good thing the kid didn't kick it like a shuttlecock."

Liu Renxiu wanted to laugh too. He said, "She might not know what this is. It's her first time there. Why didn't you ask someone to introduce it to her?"

Cui Qiu choked: "Is he to blame for this? He shouldn't be so biased, right?"

"Your Majesty, it's fine if she just played with the five and eight taels, but she also broke the two ceremonial instruments. I think she's here to cause trouble."

Cui Qiu angrily took out something that looked like a scale.

This is a balance-type hygrometer. Soil is placed on one end and charcoal on the other end. The weight of the two is used to test the weather.

And now, this thing is folded.

"Also, she has messed up all the treasures left by our ancestors in the library. Your Majesty, please help me!"

Liu Renxiu frowned: "Well, it is indeed her fault. I will punish her by making her accompany you with two big roosters. You can pluck the feathers and do a few more.

As for these two instruments, I allow you to report them to the Ministry of Works and have a few more made as backups."

Cui Qiu: I just need two chickens?

Just then, the young eunuch came and said that Song Jinxiu wanted to see His Majesty.

Cui Qiu: You flatterer, why are you looking for His Majesty so often?

He complained again, "Your Majesty, Dr. Song only came to the Imperial Observatory once, and I have never seen her again. She is derelict of duty, and Your Majesty should punish her severely."

Zhou Kunran couldn't help but say, "Master Cui, His Majesty allowed Dr. Song to go to the Imperial Observatory. Isn't it just a matter of going if she wants to go, and not going if she doesn't want to? She has mathematics classes to attend every day. Not attending classes is dereliction of duty."

Cui Qiu glared at him: Are you from that side?

Zhou Kunran spread his hands: I'm just telling the truth. Since you dislike her so much, isn't it just right that she doesn't go?

Song Jinxiu didn't expect that the Minister of War Zhou Kunran would speak for her.

She didn't even look at Cui Qiu, but kowtowed to the emperor and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have an important matter to report."

Everyone: She looked so serious, as if something really big had happened to her.

Liu Renxiu glanced at him and said, "Stand up and talk."

Song Jinxiu stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I want to establish an observatory, which will only be responsible for weather forecasting."

"Your Majesty, this is impossible. With her taking five or eight taels of silver, if she were to be in charge of weather forecasts, the Imperial Observatory would never have peace, Your Majesty." Cui Qiu knelt down and shouted.

Song Jinxiu blinked. "Five taels, eight taels? What is that?"

"Ha, ha, look at him. He doesn't even know what five taels and eight taels mean. How can he be responsible for weather forecasting?"

As Cui Qiu said this, he threw the two half-bald Yu Bao in front of her.

Song Jinxiu picked it up and looked at it. What was it? A shuttlecock?

Seeing her puzzled expression, Liu Renxiu couldn't help but twitch his lips. I really don't know this kid.

Five taels, eight taels?

Song Jinxiu suddenly recalled a poem: "The wind blows fiercely, the moon meets the third moon, the oars paddle smoothly over the azure water. A hundred percent peach blossoms, a thousand percent willows, the seductive crimson and enchanting emerald green paint the Jiangnan region."

"Oh, it's used to measure wind speed." Song Jinxiu suddenly realized.

Everyone:...

"Your Majesty, I've looked at the information in the Imperial Observatory, but I can't use it. I want to establish a new observatory, solely responsible for weather forecasts."

Cui Qiu snorted coldly, "Humph! Do you think you can establish an observatory just because you occasionally guess right? How ridiculous."

This girl is very cunning, and he has to stop her no matter what she wants to do.

Song Jinxiu glared at him and said, "How about you give me the dome?"

Cui Qiu choked: Don’t even think about it!

"Look at you, you're incompetent and stingy. You're old and you don't want to make progress, so why do you always go against me? What? Is this weather forecast yours?

I want to predict the weather so that people can be aware of weather changes in advance and take precautions. Is that bothering you?"

"you……"

"What are you?"

"Okay," Liu Renxiu rubbed his forehead.

"Lord Zhou, please go and urge the Ministry of War to deal with the matter, and then write a memorial. Lord Cui, please go as well."

"Yes, I will retire."

"My minister retire."

Cui Qiu: The Emperor is clearly biased. He should go back and make quick arrangements, telling the people at the Imperial Observatory not to help her. If she wants to establish an observatory, then she can just go and do it herself.

After everyone left, Liu Renxiu asked, "The observatory you mentioned, are you going to set up another Imperial Astronomical Observatory?"

Song Jinxiu quickly shook her head. "No, I don't understand the mysterious stargazing techniques of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. I only know that I can predict the weather by looking at the sky. Therefore, the observatory I founded is solely for weather forecasting."

Astrology has always been taboo in the royal family. Although the current emperor is kind, where is his bottom line? She dare not test it.

The old patriarch once said that heaven forbids complacency and that one should hide one's shortcomings.

"Your Majesty, I want to show you something."

Song Jinxiu took out the astronomical telescope,

Treasure-hunting rat Junjun covered his face and said: Once this thing comes out, no matter how hard you try to hide your abilities, you will still be the center of attention.

"Your Majesty, this is what I use to observe the sky. Last time, I used it to see the wind above the clouds.

Changes in cloud cover, the size of wind clusters, ground humidity and temperature—these are all factors that determine the weather. They all have a scientific basis.”

"clairvoyance?"

Liu Renxiu looked at the thing in his hand in shock.

Song Jinxiu nodded, "This thing is very precious. I have only made ten crosses so far. I don't have anyone around me who can use it, so I don't feel safe handing it over to anyone."

Moreover, this clairvoyance can also be used in military and navigation.

Your Majesty, please select ten trustworthy people for me, and I will teach them how to predict wind and rain by observing clouds."

Liu Renxiu was completely speechless. This thing actually had ten crosses.

Wait, she said she did it herself?

Is his beloved Lord Song really a monster?

And most importantly, the little girl only trusts him as the king.

"Hahaha..." Liu Renxiu laughed loudly.
