"Your name is Zhang Dalang?" Yan Shifan took the initiative to ask with a deep respect.

The middle-aged man on the opposite side smiled innocently, "Actually, I have a tuba, called Zhang Wenyuan." ”

"Zhang Wenyuan!" Yan Shifan immediately thought of the Oolong Academy, after all, with his nature, he would definitely not put Sun Shiwan's nemesis in the first place.

"I suggest you change your name."

Zhang Dalang's eyes immediately widened, and then he was discouraged, but he still nodded.

"The villain is willing to follow the adult, saddle before and after the horse, and be a slave and a servant......"

"Wait a minute!"

Yan Shifan immediately interrupted Zhang Dalang's words, "I'm afraid you have misunderstood, I mean there is a book in which there is a villain who is mixed with Shi Niang, I am joking, don't take it seriously...... By the way, you can take this book and read it. ”

Yan Shifan took it out, and was immediately embarrassed, what he brought with him must be a golden bottle of plum embroidered with him, how could he bring a boring and boring Water Margin!

"Forget it, let's get in the car first, and I'll talk to you slowly."

Yan Shifan pulled Zhang Wenyuan and sat in the carriage, this feeling was very wonderful, a bit like time travel......

In fact, when Zhang Wenyuan was in the Western Regions, he met several envoys from the Ming Dynasty...... However, these people were sent out by the Zhengde Dynasty, and later because the imperial court gave up the plan to recover the troops used against Hami, they were isolated in the Shazhou area, more than 100 people, less than ten left, and later withered one after another, only five people are still alive.

Although they will also tell about the vicissitudes of the sea and the changes of the times over the years, they will also tell about the imperial court and the Ming Dynasty...... But they were also thrown to the Western Regions and no one cared about them, and the Ming in their mouths was obviously not so satisfying to the lost hearts of three hundred years.

even made Zhang Wenyuan and others resist for a time, and the two sides almost fell out......

But when he came to Yan Shifan, the situation was different, he was like a river and introduced it to Zhang Wenyuan.

"We are different from the Great Song Dynasty...... Emperor Taizu of my dynasty came from a humble background, herded cattle for the landlord since he was a child, and also worked as a monk. ”

Zhang Wenyuan's eyes were round when he heard this, "Really? So how did he become emperor? ”

"Who said that to be an emperor, you have to be born a nobleman? Like Zhao Kuangyin, bullying orphans and widows, relying on foxes to win the world, then it is embarrassing! I Chao Taizu got up slightly, dedicated to the people, he was based on the land south of the Yangtze River, with an army of 250,000 troops to the north, swept the Great Yuan Dynasty, what Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, all of them were taken back, washing away hundreds of years of shame! ”

"Really?" Zhang Wenyuan exclaimed: "I heard from the elders that the Great Song Dynasty also made two northern expeditions to Yanyun, but unfortunately they failed. ”

"Nothing to be sorry for...... At the level of the god of war of the donkey cart of the Sorghum River, it is strange to win! His strategy for the Northern Expedition was not right at all...... And he didn't dare to delegate power to the generals, no matter how open-minded he was, he was much worse than me. ”

"Oh!" Zhang Wenyuan nodded, thinking of the words of those Ming envoys, it was about the same.

"Then, what about the current Son of Heaven?" Zhang Wenyuan said curiously.

Yan Shifan smiled, "You should ask me first, ask my father, and my master." ”

Zhang Wenyuan's old face turned red, and he was really negligent.

"Excuse me?"

"You're welcome...... My father is the second assistant of the dynasty, and my master is the first assistant...... It's about the equivalent of the prime minister and the deputy prime minister! ”

"Ahh

Zhang Wenyuan was stunned...... Dare to love this is still a yanei!

"Don't be afraid!" Yan Shifan smiled and said, "I'm not trying to scare you...... In fact, since Jiajing Tianzi ascended the throne, this dynasty has carried out another round of changes. I'm afraid the former emissaries can't tell you. There are a few key changes to our approach this time...... First, it is necessary to give equal land and realize that the cultivator has his own land. Second, to promote the study of the mind and abolish the science, that is, Cheng Zhu science! ”

"Xinxue advocates that people are more valuable than their own hearts, advocates that the people's daily use is the way, advocates agriculture and industry, and the equality of the four people."

"Also, my master, that is, the first assistant of the dynasty, advocates the development of science and technology, and advocates the use of technology to promote development." Yan Shifan said, pointing to the four-wheeled carriage.

"Did you notice?"

Zhang Wenyuan nodded hurriedly and said in a low voice: "This carriage is indeed powerful, I heard from my predecessors that the Great Song Dynasty also has a four-wheeled carriage, but due to the inconvenient steering, it can only be used in the city, I didn't expect the carriage of the Ming Dynasty to be so powerful!" ”

Yan Shifan smiled and said: "What's even more powerful, we have already built another railroad track, and then the carriage will be able to travel on the rails." ”

"Rails?" Zhang Wenyuan was really frightened, if the carriage that could travel on four wheels in the wild was just unexpected, then the rail carriage was a bit subversive.

"Did the Ming Dynasty have so much steel?"

"Why not!" Yan Shifan said proudly: "We have a very large steel plant, in the capital, in Jizhen, as well as Daning, Liaoyang...... All of them...... And we are also working on a new power, steam power, using a steam engine to pull a train......"

Yan Shifan's excited narration made Zhang Wenyuan more and more silent, and even a little lost...... They have been doing it for hundreds of years, and the most important thing is technology!

When Genghis Khan was on a campaign, he slaughtered every city he conquered, and the only ones who survived were craftsmen and healers.

If you don't have excellent skills, how can you survive and reproduce?

Da Ming is good, but Da Ming has reached a dizzying height, what else can they do? There is a complete loss of room to play...... Sure enough, there are gains and losses...... It's just how to survive in the future?

Zhang Wenyuan lowered his head and looked restless.

Yan Shifan groaned slightly, and then took the initiative to say, "Don't just listen to me, what about you?" How did you get by? ”

Zhang Wenyuan smiled helplessly, "How else can you live, stay up!" At first, the Mongols still valued us, and we would make armor, weapons, fine jewelry, and furniture...... They were afraid that we would run away, so they arranged for people to watch over us, but as time went by, there was some freedom. You can even marry a local woman to continue the incense...... As long as you hand in the things that the people above need on time, as long as you don't run, you can still live safely. It's just that later these countries continued to perish, and there was no longer a male master, and those grass kings just wanted to grab a handful and run. Even us craftsmen can't survive anymore, so ......"

Zhang Wenyuan is very calm, after all, the other party has revealed his identity, and for such a long time, if you have to say that your heart is towards the Central Plains, regardless of everything, it is also a bit of a brag.

Yan Shifan bowed slightly, "Anyway, if you can break through many dangers and obstacles and return to the Ming Dynasty, it is a feat, and I am a five-body cast...... By the way, you said that you made weapons for the Mongols, how is your craftsmanship? ”

"This ...... I can't say, I'm just afraid that I can't compare with Da Ming! ”

"You're welcome." Yan Shifan smiled and said: "When my teacher was in class, he told us that during the Two Song Dynasty, there were a lot of good techniques, because the war has disappeared, maybe you can really bring back a lot of lost things!" ”

On a whim, Yan Shifan turned his head and took out a firearm and handed it to Zhang Wenyuan.

"Look, this is the firearm we use now...... It's much more powerful than the two songs, right? ”

Zhang Wenyuan looked at this firecracker, his eyes really lit up, and he kept nodding when he took it in his hand.

"The materials are good, the shape is good, look at this pipe, the power is not bad!"

He admired for a long time, and suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"I'm afraid it's not very accurate, right?"

Yan Shifan bowed his head, "Indeed, this is no way, when we are fighting, we all shoot together in a neat queue, and we will always shoot." ”

Zhang Wenyuan nodded, "The Mongols also used a lot of firearms, and they also sent us a few firearms captured from the Rakshasa Kingdom in the west for us to copy. ”

When Yan Shifan heard this, he suddenly remembered that Daming's firearms had stagnated for a long time, and it was the teacher who got the Lu Mi gun that made rapid progress, and it didn't take long to count.

"Zhang Dalang, you, can you make a better firebolt?"

Zhang Wenyuan smiled, "My ability is nothing, but I have a little junior brother, and he has figured out a way to carve grooves in the barrel to increase the power of the firecracker." ”

Yan Shifan closed his mouth tightly and suddenly realized...... These people seem to be amazing treasures!
