Chapter 136: Who would’ve thought! Being dirty and skipping baths had such benefits!!! (1 / 2)
“Your Majesty! Spare me, Your Majesty!”
Several Jinyiwei were dragging the Marquis of Yangwu outside, while a little eunuch nearby carried four Shenji rockets, conveniently enough for one to be tied to each limb.
The Marquis of Yangwu flailed his legs and twisted his neck desperately backward, shouting at the top of his lungs:
“But Your Majesty! If you give me funds, I promise results within five—no, three years!”
It was the perfect image of someone drawing a big, bold vision to scam research funding, a sight all too familiar in modern times.
[What the Marquis of Yangwu mentioned is indeed flawed—it easily causes objects tied to the rockets to spin in place and might even veer off course…]
—Primarily because the industrial foundation just isn’t there yet.
The old emperor glanced directly at the Marquis of Yangwu with a rather smug expression.
The Marquis instantly deflated, wilting like a plant that hadn’t been watered in ages.
