Well, Chu Qing decided to draw five pages of paper with the picture - one page of the launcher, and four pages of the cart wheel below!

"Fifty thousand taels? That's just something?" Master Lu was shocked: "It's too valuable!"

"That's not!" Chu Qing proudly said: "Think about it, how many people will be killed with this thing!"

Master Lu understood, it was not! Although this thing looks simple and has the risk of blowing up the chamber, it can indeed achieve the goal of fighting with less.

"Boss, you really dare to open your teeth, and the emperor is really willing to spend money!" Chu Yuan snatched the silver notes and counted them over and over again.

It seems that counting money is an activity that is physically and mentally pleasing.

Chu Qing said, "Don't worry, the emperor has nothing to do with it. He didn't pay the money anyway!"

According to the emperor's stingy nature than Chu Qing, the money must be the one he ordered Zheng Chunqiu to pay, and he would never allow the Ministry of Works to leave the accounts.

In order to maintain his position, Zheng Chunqiu could pay the money even if he pinched his nose.

Besides, Chu Qing has handed over a lot of drawings and prescriptions before, such as animal plows, soybean oil, nail clippers...

"But why don't they pay the price?" Xiaobao asked.

Chu Qing: "I didn't offer the offer!"

Chu Qing did not offer a price. She wrote in the memorial: "According to the value of the cannon, please set the price."

That is to say, how much it should be worth, you can do it!

The emperor really "translated" it to Zheng Chunqiu like this.

Originally, Zheng Chunqiu calculated based on the cost price of his "iron firecrackers" and added the cart of firecrackers he bought, and gave a price of 200 taels, but he didn't dare to say anything.

He could only start at 10,000 taels, and then increase at 10,000 taels. Until the emperor stopped glaring at him, it would reach 100,000 taels.

Chu Qing got 50,000 taels.

"Hmph," Xiaobao snorted from his nose: "If the east is not bright, the west is bright. If the south is dark, there will be north. The emperor thought he had been fined Zheng Chunqiu, but would he come back if he was greedy?"

It is said that the Ministry of Works is the lowest-ranking department among the six ministries, and their officials also earn the least extra money. But in fact, high-ranking officials are making big money, and middle- and low-ranking officials can only get "dead wages".

For example, the special funds for river maintenance projects are more than 4 million taels of silver every year, which is still in normal times.

If there is emergency repair project in the year of flooding, the court will allocate additional funds, which will reach tens of millions at the most.

And about 30% of the money will be spent on river engineering, just make sure that there will be no accident in that year.

If an official has a conscience and 10% of the year, he will be able to select the best employee of the year!

This is also the reason why Shen Chongnian has not been promoted for so many years, because he is often the best employee of the year. Because he blocked the financial path of many corrupt officials, the Ministry of Personnel cannot achieve the performance of the Ministry of Personnel.

The Ministry of Industry has many "floating" projects. Due to the calculation, calculation, reimbursement, etc., the final practical material labor price is falsely exaggerated. There are many methods, which makes people unable to guard against.

Through this practice, Zheng Chunqiu borrowed various engineering projects to pluck his hair and deducted it from all levels of the central government, from all departments to local agencies at all levels. However, the middle and low-level officials in his own department did not get much oil and water.

Unfortunately, the other departments are not grateful, and even think that if the Minister of Works becomes a different person, their income will be more.

Not only did I have to ask for anything, I offended a lot of people from my department.

And now, it can be taken out by 100,000 taels, but I don’t know if the emperor realizes the problem.

"I'm afraid the emperor knows the key points and cannot completely eliminate them, so why not let the money fall into his own hands?" Chu Qing said.

Xiaobao: "Isn't that a vicious cycle?"

Chu Qing: "Maybe it's better than Zheng Chunqiu to change someone, at least this person has limited abilities."

Chu Yuan shook the stack of silver notes: "Fifty thousand taels!"
