It was carried out until the evening, when everyone left, and Zhu Youxiao also came to the arranged resting place.

This night, Zhu Youxiao rarely relaxed.

After seeing these warships, he saw the future of Daming.

Sooner or later, the Ming warships will sail out from here and become an invincible armada.

I have been busy for so many years, and I have worked diligently for so many years, for this obsession in my heart.

Now that I finally see hope, how can Zhu Youxiao's mood be bad?

At the same time, he is also full of hope, his heart is full of passion for struggle, and he must do things well.

Early the next morning, Zhu Youxiao got up early in the morning.

Although he hasn't done anything in the past two years, he has never dared to slack off in terms of exercise.

To live a few more years, Zhu Youxiao kept admonishing himself.

With the effect of his biological clock, he woke up early this morning. After a lap, I went for a run in the yard.

Qi Yuangong led people to guard on the side, and he didn't dare to slack off at all.

The guards around were the same, everyone watched cautiously.

Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything.

No matter where you are, you can't slack off.

Zhu Youxiao took the towel handed over by Wei Chao and wiped his face.

This towel has just been researched in the past two years, made of wool, soft and absorbent, and is best used to wipe your face.

Towels have been popular since their introduction, and they can be said to be a must-have item in aristocratic families, and their prices are still high.

Just such a towel can be sold for enough price to buy a set of silk clothes. At this time, that is, scarce is expensive.

The Internal Affairs Office did business very shrewdly, and Zhu Youxiao did not interfere in such things.

After wiping his face, Zhu Youxiao threw the towel in his hand to Wei Chao and said, "Is there something wrong?" ”

"Back to the emperor," Wei Chao hurriedly said, "The two Song lords are already waiting outside." ”

"What are they coming for?" Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Could it be something?" ”

"Back to the emperor, they are here to ask the emperor for peace." Wei Chao said again.

There is nothing inappropriate about the Song family brothers doing something like this, after all, when the emperor arrives on your territory, he always has to come over to see him when he gets up in the morning.

Just like a child at home, there is a saying called waking up in the morning and dusk, to put it bluntly, you have to visit your parents in the morning and evening, go to say hello in the morning, and go to say hello before going to bed at night.

When facing the emperor, it is natural to have this attitude.

Zhu Youxiao thought about it and said, "Then prepare breakfast." Call them in and let them eat with me. ”

"Yes, Emperor." Wei Chao agreed respectfully.

Wei Chao couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart, the emperor really valued the Song family brothers.

You must know that usually in this case, the emperor will send the courtiers away. Summoned to see them, it was already a favor for them.

But now the emperor actually wants to summon the two brothers of the Song family in, and they have to eat together, this is no longer as simple as favor, how much does this have to be favored by the ministers to get such treatment?

However, Wei Chao didn't dare to say anything, turned around and walked outside. He wants to bring the two brothers of the Song family in as soon as possible, and he can't delay time, otherwise it will cause the emperor's displeasure.

After simply cleaning up and changing a set of clothes, Zhu Youxiao saw the two brothers of the Song family walking in from outside.

Seeing that the two were about to salute, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand directly and interrupted the two.

He said: "It's not in the capital, it's not in the main hall, it's exempt in private." I was going to have breakfast, and you were going to come along. ”

The two brothers of the Song family looked at each other, and they were both a little embarrassed.

You know, they came to see the emperor, and it was normal for the emperor to reward them, which was supposed to be a win-win situation.

But why did Your Majesty say this, it was as if the two of them had come to eat, and they were stuck in the meal.

However, the two of the Song family's thoughts were only fleeting, and they hurriedly bowed down together and said, "Your Majesty Xie." ”

After the two Song brothers sat down, the Wei Dynasty ordered someone to bring the food up.

Zhu Youxiao's breakfast has always been very simple, this morning it was rice porridge and buns, two eggs, and several kinds of mixed vegetables.

Because someone wanted to test the poison, the porridge was already semi-warm when it was served.

This is still Zhu Youxiao's own method. After tasting the poison, the person who tested the poison will put all the meals in an incubator.

Underneath the insulation is hot water to ensure that the meals are not cold. Although it doesn't taste as good as right out of the pan, at least it's hot.

There are many things that are just right to eat at this time, such as this bowl of rice porridge in Zhu Youxiao's hand. It is warm and delicious, the taste is very good, and Zhu Youxiao eats it very well.

Song Yingsheng and Song Yingxing also ate very well. After all, when you eat with Your Majesty, what you eat is no longer a taste.

After the three of them finished eating, the cold soup was removed, and the warm tea was served.

After taking a sip of tea, Zhu Youxiao looked at the two brothers of the Song family and said, "This time I came over to take a look, and I am very satisfied, you two are doing a good job." ”

"When this is over, the reward will come down. In addition, regarding the official positions of the two of you, there may not be any adjustment for the time being. But I believe it won't be too far. ”

The two brothers of the Song family are courtiers that Zhu Youxiao values very much, so it is naturally impossible to put them here to watch the shipyard.

Using them like this is actually a bit of a waste. It's just that now that he is replaced, Zhu Youxiao is really not at ease.

After waiting for a period of time, the shipyard was completely on the right track, the first batch of warships were launched, and he just transferred the two Song brothers away.

"I'm really not at ease when I hand it over to someone else here, so I can only wronged you two brothers first." Zhu Youxiao said again, his tone was very gentle, and there was a hint of guilt.

The two brothers of the Song family hurriedly said: "Being loyal to His Majesty and contributing to the Ming Dynasty is what our brothers want to do." Whatever is done, our brothers will not complain. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "If the officials in the world are like your two brothers, why worry that the Ming Dynasty is not prosperous?" ”

The conversation between the three of them has been recorded by the people next to them. In the future, it will be written into Zhu Youxiao's record.

The words and deeds of the emperor, this scene of harmony between the monarch and the minister, naturally should be described with emphasis on pen and ink.

Of course, the courtiers are loyal and the emperor is broad-minded, and these things should be written more emphatically.

After the discussion, Zhu Youxiao directly changed the topic and said: "This time I really came here, in addition to taking a look at the warship you built, I brought you the people of the Hundred Crafts Academy." ”

"This matter is classified now, and if you know about it, don't leak it."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two members of the Song family agreed with serious faces.

In fact, there were many secrets in the Ming Dynasty, whether it was the Baigong Academy or other places, and even the secrets of the shipyard.

In the past, no one cared about these things, but now the imperial court has a special leak-proof law.

If anyone leaks the secret, they will be severely punished. If you deliberately take out the secret to exchange it for money, it is a great crime to exterminate the family.

Everyone who enters the Baigong Institute or shipyard will receive such an education. It can be said that the management is very strict, there are people everywhere, and every link is guarded.

Under such circumstances, the Song brothers naturally understood what the emperor was talking about, so they respectfully made a guarantee and waited for Zhu Youxiao to tell them the secret.

"You don't know here, the Hundred Crafts has actually developed a new gunpowder." Zhu Youxiao looked at the two brothers of the Song family and said, "These gunpowders are much more powerful than the gunpowder we use now. This resulted in a longer range and greater power of the artillery. ”

In addition, the Baigong Institute used this gunpowder to forge a new type of artillery, that is, the rear-loading artillery with metal fixed shells. I don't think the two of you are familiar with this thing. ”

"It's just that the difficulties that have not been overcome have finally been overcome. I want to equip the ships with this artillery, as well as new guns and new rockets. ”

"As for the other weapons you want on your warship, you can also discuss it with the people of the Hundred Crafts. This time, among the entourage, I have brought you the craftsmen of the Hundred Crafts Academy, and you can discuss this matter with them. ”

"These people will not be taken with them when I am gone, but will remain with you. In a word, ask people to give people, ask money to give money; You make things for me. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two brothers of the Song family hurriedly agreed.

No one expected His Majesty to bring such news.

For the two members of the Song family, this is good news. As long as the battleship is replaced with new guns, the power will naturally have different repercussions. It's just that it takes some time to keep trying, and it takes some time.

However, for the two Song brothers, time is not an issue. Although it will make them leave late for a while, it doesn't matter, as long as they can get things done.

The two brothers of the Song family don't believe that if they work hard and make achievements in the shipyard, His Majesty will not promote the two of them.

Today, His Majesty has always been eclectic in employing people, and it has always been a meritocracy. The shipyard, a place that His Majesty values so much, and if he does things well, he will definitely be able to be reused.

The matter was almost explained, and Zhu Youxiao brought people over. This matter has already been done for Zhu Youxiao, and the rest depends on the Song family brothers.

As for Qingdao, it's time to leave.

I didn't come here to Qingdao to do anything big, just to come and have a look. Now that I have seen it and am very satisfied, the things that should be arranged have been arranged, and I am naturally leaving.

This is not Zhu Youxiao's destination in the first place, it's time to go.
