Lin Kelan was puzzled: "Do you want to use your own silver taels to develop the Tiance Mansion?"

"If necessary, it can only be so. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info" Shen Feng sighed: "No way, it's important to save your life, Kelan, is it difficult to sleep and eat all day long with me, I think this is something that all women in the world don't want to." ”

Lin Kelan sighed sadly: "The more famous you are now, the more worried I am about you, as a woman, my biggest wish is to do business with you together, but men are ambitious, when you are outside, you just need to think about how many people are waiting for you at home." ”

At this time, Laifu suddenly ran over, and said happily on his face: "Brother Shen, Xia Cai ordered someone to send a letter." ”

"Send a letter, send a letter, what are you happy about. ”

Laifu scratched his head and smirked: "The letter from the world-famous Xia Cainu is not expected by many people." ”

Shen Feng smiled and said, "Then dare to be kind, this month Yin will send you this letter." ”

Laifu flattered: "This-it's more affordable to send silver." ”

As soon as they heard the letter from Xia Cainu, all the women stopped, and their eyes gathered together, Shen Feng really wanted to kick Laifu, and when he heard Xia Cainu's title, it was like marrying his daughter-in-law.

Shen Fengji opened the letter in fear, glanced at everyone with a dry smile, and said in a panic: "Miss Xia invites everyone to go to the theater tonight, do you want to go?" In fact, Xia Cainu only invited him alone, but so many people looked at him, if he didn't say so, he would definitely be judged and criticized by the three sessions of them, or even imprisoned.

Lin Kelan saw that he looked aggrieved, secretly smiled in her heart, and said calmly: "Since Miss Xia is invited, we might as well go to the appointment, I heard that the opera in the capital is very famous, and I wanted to go and see it when I was in Shengzhou." ”

Miss Tang hurriedly raised her hand and hurriedly said, "I'm going, I'm going!"

Ji Yaoyao turned her head and said, "Xiaohuan'er wants to go and have a look?"

"If Sister Yao Yao goes, if Brother Shen also goes, if everyone goes, Huan'er will also go. "Xiao Huan'er and Wu Yao met for the first time, and after learning that Wu Yao was Shen Feng's wife, they naturally felt very cordial, and Wu Yao also loved her very much.

Xiao Huan'er is Shen Feng's only relative, the little princess in the house, everyone loves her, Liu Wanci chuckled: "Xiao Huan'er wants us all to go, why don't we go to the theater together tonight, I don't know where to sing in the opera?"

"I'm going too, I'm going too—" Xiao Cao'er hurriedly ran over, fangs and claws, Xiao Huan'er had seen her last night, and she was not afraid when she saw her face at this time.

As soon as the grass came, Catherine's expression became serious, and her eyes kept falling on her thoughtfully.

"I'll take a look - in the pear orchard, not away from the Taiyuan, let's go over while strolling. Shen Feng turned around and said, "Auntie, Uncle Caogu, what about you, why don't you go and have a look together." ”

Guangyin and Caogu glanced at each other, nodded and said, "It's okay, opera is also a kind of opera, and I want to listen to it too." ”

Cao Gu said: "Senior sister goes, I will go too." ”

Uncle Teapot Wine said disdainfully: "What's so good about opera, a group of people are disease-free**, Lao Tzu still stays here to study equipment, alas, you young people, you want to play all day long." In fact, he didn't want to go out, so he would say such sour words.

"Princess Catherine, what about you?"

Miss Tang snorted: "The surname is Kai, let's go and listen to our Central Plains opera, lest you say that we didn't take you to play when you go back." ”

Catherine glanced at Xiaocao'er and smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, I'm really sorry, I didn't have a good rest in the hunting ground yesterday, tonight I think I need to sleep well." ”

Xiao Cao'er smiled strangely at the corner of her mouth, Catherine seemed to feel something, and her eyes shot at her again, but Xiao Cao'er had already turned around, and Shen Feng had not noticed the strangeness between them, and said with a smile: "It's okay, then it's decided, I'll go to Tiance Mansion first, Uncle Teapot Wine, you also come with me." ”

"Good!"

The two went to Tiance Mansion together, the arsenal in Tiance Mansion has been completed, and they came to the arsenal with Uncle Teapot Wine, the innermost room in the arsenal is specially shot for Uncle Teapot Wine, and after observing for a while, Uncle Teapot Liquor said excitedly: "This place is good!"

Shen Feng said with a solemn expression: "Senior Uncle, how is the progress of your artillery research with Miss Gu?"

Uncle Teapot said, "It will take some time. ”

"There is no need to hastily study it, the tightness, accuracy, and success rate of the artillery are the most important. Shen groaned: "Our main opponents are Puyang Palace and the Rouran Clan, and Puyang Palace has your master, is your master also good at machinery?"

"Yes, my master is a true genius, proficient in all kinds of assassination mechanisms, if he has the heart to make sharp weapons for the army, it will be the power of the world. ”

Shen Feng had already prepared in his heart, in fact, the most lethal thing was that Master Caogu and Master Jujiu joined forces, which was the most deadly, "Senior Uncle, you can design me some more climbing tools and melee weapons, and I will draw sketches for you now." ”

"Good!"

It took two hours to draw some rock climbing tools and close-quarters weapons, but it was not enough to have a regular army, Shen Feng also planned to train a special force to use explosives and climbing tools to carry out some special tasks.

Jujiu took the sketch and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but sigh: "What is the origin of this kid, you can know so many strange things, but it is very practical." ”

"These are just some ideas, and the real internal structure has to be studied by Uncle Shi himself. Shen Feng muttered: "I will try my best to find you as many skilled craftsmen as possible to assist you, research cannot be done by one person." ”

Jujiu said, "Why hasn't that Miss Gu come recently?"

"Recently, Miss Gu has been seriously ill and is at home-" As she spoke, she saw Gu Bi walk in in a dignified manner, "I didn't let you recuperate at home, why are you here again?"

After two days of recuperation, her face was a lot ruddy, she looked in good spirits, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, "Senior Grass Valley said that I can do things, but I just have to remember to eat sooner or later." ”

"Then you pay attention to rest, you must rest before the hour every day, otherwise I will order someone to blast you out!" In fact, Shen Feng still needs her very much, just to say that there is a lack of manpower in training now, it is best that she can come to train soldiers, "Since you are here, why don't we discuss how to develop muskets together." ”

With today's conditions to develop muskets, I didn't understand the industrial level of this era before, and after a few days of careful investigation with Uncle Teapot Wine, muskets can still be studied, but the muskets that have been researched can only be flintlock pistols at most, regardless of the range and frequency of shooting, they are not very impressive, but Shen Feng does not expect the musket to be put into the battlefield immediately, but wants to build a special force with muskets.

China was the first to put firearms into the battlefield, but because of the poor effect and give up the research, the effect of the musket on the Chinese battlefield is far less than Europe, the Chinese battlefield is often hundreds of thousands, at the beginning of the battle there is still a little effect, once in the chaos of the war, the musketeer is almost slaughtered, and the musket because of the small frequency of shooting, once the cavalry is encountered, not a few shots, the cavalry has rushed to the front, so in the large battlefield, the musket has no effect for the time being, but in the protection of towns and small-scale wars, the musket can come in handy, so after consideration, it is still necessary to develop the musket, not only for the present, but also for the future。

He brought the musket and continued: "In addition to the refinement of the ammunition, the body of the gun must also be modified, so that at least one shot can fire six shots in a row, so that the musket can be greatly powerful." ”

"The middle is loaded with ammunition, you can design it here as a roller type, fire a shot, the roller automatically rotates a section, and also design a magazine in the handle part, a magazine is loaded with six bullets, and you can reload the magazine after firing. ”

"You try to do what I said, if the conditions don't allow, then one shot and one shot, it's better than nothing. "The previous musket was also loaded with one bullet to shoot once, and the ammunition collected from the king of Zuo was only three, and two were shot, and the last one was left for them to study.

If these can be invented, the Rouran people will definitely be afraid, so that the war can be avoided, "The number of troops is not necessarily the decisive factor in the war, at least we occupy a favorable position, if we can develop some new firearms, no matter what country will be afraid of." ”

Originally, I wanted to teach the two of them some metal and related knowledge, but industrial development can not be formed overnight, in fact, the predecessor of industry is handicraft, in this regard, China has been far ahead, but due to the imprisonment of feudal thought, it is difficult to germinate scientific and technological ideas, so there has been no industrial revolution in Chinese history, handicrafts plus scientific and technological wings, in order to evolve into industry.

After talking for a while, he left Tiance Mansion, and dragged Gu Biluo out by the way, she still has to go to the theater tonight, Xia Cainu is really bold, she sent a letter directly to the house to invite, but fortunately she reacted quickly.

Ride a horse back to the house, and then go to the night market with a few women, there are often operas in the pear garden in the capital, and the pear garden is actually also a music house in the government institutions, in this era, the opera has not yet matured, and it is not even widely known, and ordinary people can rarely hear the opera, only some high-ranking officials and nobles, or large families only hear the opera, it can be said that the opera is a very high-level entertainment project in this era.

After staying in the night market for a while, I entered the pear orchard, and I heard that there was an opera troupe in the pear orchard, and many people from large families gathered, including many officials.

"You're here-" When she came to the stage, Xia Cainu had been waiting for a long time, and she was not surprised to see all the people in the house coming over, she stepped forward to greet her warmly, and smiled happily: "You are here, please come in quickly, the play is about to start." ”

Lin Kelan asked, "Which play are you singing today?"

"Today's singing is Mulian to save the mother, this play is rare to listen to once, I heard that this opera troupe has been singing in the south before, and this is the first time to come back to the capital. Xia Yanran had a very intimate attitude and seemed to intend to be friendly with them.

Ji Yaoyao said with great interest: "I have also seen this story from the Buddhist scriptures, from the Western Jin Dynasty to the present, and it is passed down by word of mouth, the story persuades people to be kind, and persuades the son to be filial, which is very touching." ”

Xia Yanran said happily: "Mrs. Shen is knowledgeable, this is indeed a Buddhist story, recorded in "The Buddha Says the Bon Sutra", which was introduced to the Central Plains from Tianzhu. ”

At this time, a gong and drum sounded, the drama began immediately, several people walked into the house together, the story of Mulian saving the mother is simply summarized as a story about a stingy and greedy mother and a very Taoist and filial son, there are ghosts and gods in the story, hell, if the cover is sung into an opera, it is very attractive to the ancients.

If you want to talk about opera, Shen Feng's previous sketches and stage plays in Shengzhou can be regarded as a precedent, but opera has more artistic value, what kind of artistic value is, Shen Feng doesn't understand it at all, focuses on their various expressions, and also pays attention to the stage.

The drama on the stage is painted with all kinds of costumes, among which Muren is dressed as a monk, which is the 'birth' in the play, and Muren's mother is 'ugly', and at the beginning of the play, it is the 'ugly' in the line that is sung first, that is, Muren's mother, and the ugly face is painted with a flower face, symbolizing evil and ugliness.

At this time, a monk walked on the left side of the stage, with the face painted on his face, and it was an old student, and the face of Shengxing was kind and kind, which showed that this line must be Mulian.

However, Shen Fengdi's mind was not on the stage, but sometimes secretly frolicked with the eldest lady next to him, and sometimes braided a small braid for the euphemism in the front row.

This play was very boring to him, but the students on the stage seemed to keep their eyes on him, and the monk slowly walked to the front of the stage and shouted at Shen Feng, Shen Feng was startled and couldn't help but look at the stage.

The two looked at each other for a while, Shen Feng felt strange in his heart, and wondered: "Wu Yao, do you feel that person is looking at me?"

Ji Wuyao smiled faintly and said: "I'm afraid that you are not attentive and make him angry, don't look at people who are just ordinary troupes, even if the palace wants to invite them, they will also give a few thin noodles, since you are here, you might as well concentrate on watching, and soon this eye will go to hell to save your eyes." ”

Sure enough, the stage changed, the background was changed to the gloomy hell, and a few flames were added next to it, which is probably the special effect that can be added to the drama.

I saw that the Buddha was wearing a strange mask on his face, and the mask was painted with a pattern of gods and ghosts, which was very weird, and it stands to reason that this Buddha was pure and magnificent, but he was very eerie, if it was a Buddha, it seemed like a ghost.

After the Buddha appeared, Guangyin and Caogu's faces suddenly showed strangeness, and even Wu Yao felt strange, Shen Feng said curiously: "Wu Yao, what's wrong with you, don't you already know the story of this play?"

Ji Wuyao was puzzled: "This is a little different from Mulian to save his mother, although saving his mother is to save his mother, but Mulian's method is different, and he has a lot of devotion to hell." ”

Xia Yanran turned around and said: "It is indeed different from what is described in "The Buddha Says the Bon Sutra", probably because the troupe was afraid that everyone would be bored, so they changed the opera. ”

Shen Feng couldn't see why the opera itself came, but he always felt that the people on the stage were weird, and he listened to it for half an hour before he saw Miss Tang come back in a hurry.

"Shen Feng, I seem to have seen someone before!"

Shen Feng turned his head and said, "Who?"

"Do you remember Wang Ling?" Miss Tang said with a strange expression: "I seemed to see him just now, but it was too dark at that time, and I wasn't sure it was him." ”

"Wang Ling !!" Shen Feng exclaimed: "If you think about it carefully, is it him?" If it weren't for the eldest lady mentioning this name, Shen Feng would have almost forgotten this person, Wang Ling was a former martial artist, a former Manichaean believer, and also the eldest lady's former fiancé, with multiple identities, but his fiancé's title actually involved a conspiracy, and was finally inadvertently recognized by Shen Feng, and after the eldest lady was tied up, Wang Ling disappeared from then on.

"It seems to be—and it doesn't seem to be—" Miss Tang's face was blank, and she said worriedly, "If it's really Wang Ling, do you think he's come to us for revenge?"

"Don't worry, he's a smart guy and won't be stupid enough to come and ask for trouble, but if it's really the royal tomb, it's worth thinking about his presence here. Shen Feng smiled: "Besides, he had bad intentions before, and he lied to your father, and we didn't trouble him, but it was already cheaper for us not to trouble him." ”

Miss Tang frowned and said, "Anyway, be careful." ”

Ahh

At this time, everyone let out an exclamation, and when they saw a few of them looking horrified, they couldn't help but wonder: "Wu Yao, what happened?"

Ji Wuyao said with a strange expression: "Mu Lian did not save his mother, but turned into a ghost, personally punished his mother, and vowed to let all those greedy people in the world go to hell, you see, Mu Lian at this time!"

Looking over, I saw that the monk was already wearing a strange mask, holding fangs and tongs to lock his mother, and put her on a wooden frame for punishment, he could have become a Buddha, but he became a judge in hell, which is amazing.

"It's just an opera, and it's their business to sing it. Having said that, I also felt that the scenes on the stage were gloomy, and I was on guard.

At the end of the opera, the curtain slowly fell, and the eyes of the monk seemed to be looking at Shen Feng again, Shen Feng was aware, and the two looked at each other again, and the cold and cold came to his heart again.

Qu Ba, took them out of the pear orchard, a few women wandered around the market for a while, when the night was about to be deep, everyone returned to the house, just stepped into the gate, but saw Laifu hurriedly ran out, was confused, Laifu exclaimed: "Brother Shen, no, Miss Catherine suddenly fainted!"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Feng and the girls were all shocked, only the little grass riding on Shen Feng showed a strange look on her face, and laughed: "Fainted, if you are asleep, then I will faint too!"

Everyone ignored her crazy words, and Shen Feng said anxiously: "Where is Catherine now, take me to see it, Doctor Grass Valley, you come with me!"

"Good!!"

Laifu led everyone to the place where the accident happened, only to see Catherine lying on a grassy field, not far from Xiaocao'er's room, Laifu hurriedly said: "It happened suddenly, Laifu didn't dare to touch her, so he hurried to Brother Shen." ”
