After coming out of the tea shop, Xie Zhi took Emperor Hongzhi and Xie Qian to the side, and asked quietly, "Your Majesty, Dad, why are you here?" ”

In the tea shop, Emperor Hongzhi should be more satisfied with Xie Zhi's handling method, a smile appeared on his face, and he said with a smile: "What? Not welcome? ”

Is this a welcome thing to thank you or not? Xie Zhi is not welcome, and he will not come?

Besides, if Xie Zhi says that he is not welcome, can Emperor Hongzhi still go home?

Xie Zhi grinned and replied, "How can it? Let's go, the county government will be prepared, and the minister will order to prepare a banquet, and the grain will only be beaten this year. ”

didn't think about it, but Emperor Hongzhi refused, and said, "No need, take me to Yunzhongwei first." ”

After Emperor Hongzhi issued his will, he asked Xie Qian again, and said, "Xie Qing, aren't you tired?" ”

Even if Xie Qian is tired, he has to answer a negative word, "No, not tired." ”

After listening to Xie Zhi's answer, Emperor Hongzhi didn't say anything more, and said, "Okay, let's go to Yunzhongwei first and take a look, there is still a academy on the Two Wolves Mountain, right?" I heard that Cheng Minzheng was also pulled over by you? ”

Although some of the things in the clouds were reported by Xie Zhi to Emperor Hongzhi, more of them were also the news that Emperor Hongzhi learned from Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

After all, Emperor Hongzhi's expectations for Yunzhong are also very great.

Xie Zhi smiled and replied truthfully: "Yes, Mr. Cheng is rich in five cars, and it is really a bit deserted to resign and go into hiding, Tang Yin talked to the minister about it, and the minister asked him to invite Mr. Cheng, there are more than 50 students in the academy, at least there are talents and fame, and they can all participate in the next Spring Festival, these students account for more poor children, and the Spring High School can be sent to Zhixian County, and they will be the next cloud under their rule." ”

One county is rich and one country is agreed by Emperor Hongzhi, so there is nothing taboo to say this in front of Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi smiled meaningfully and said, "So, you are already cultivating your own protégé?" ”

Why is this so scary? Even if Xie Zhi had this idea, he could only increase the number of people when he was strong and Ming, but he had no other ideas.

Xie Zhilian pulled up a smile and replied: "They can be regarded as the protégés of the minister, but they are also the protégés of the Son of Heaven." ”

Regardless of whether Xie Zhi has this idea or not, he still has to defend himself when it is time to defend himself, otherwise, the misunderstanding will only get deeper and deeper.

Emperor Hongzhi snorted, laughed, and replied: "You kid will also say, okay, go to Yunzhongwei first, I have come out of Weifu since then, don't expose my identity, if you really need to explain, just say that I and Xie Qing are merchants from Beijing..."

Emperor Hongzhi is really an honest man, and it seems so clumsy to lie and make up an excuse.

Is it just possible to qualify for Cloud Defender? It's just that the merchant can bring a dozen guards with him?

It's not easy to be believed.

Forget it, the emperor's mistake is not so easy to point out, the merchant is the merchant, accompanied by him, even if someone suspects it, it is not a big deal.

As long as he's happy.

Xie Qianhou was on the side, and everything had nothing to do with him, but his son's answer to the emperor made him not very pleased.

It seems that his son has already mastered the officialdom.

Unexpectedly, his son was born to be an official.

After Xie Zhi took Li Jia to accompany Emperor Hongzhi to the Two Wolf Mountain, he went straight to the Yunzhongwei camp.

With Xie Zhi leading the way, even if there were a few more strangers' faces, no one stopped them.

All the way into the camp, Xie Zhi took Emperor Hongzhi to the school field first.

On the school grounds, recruits are practicing their spears.

And it was Zhu Houzhao who led the soldiers to practice spears.

Zhu Houzhao had already heard from He Liang that Emperor Hongzhi had paid a private visit to Yunzhong Weifu, so he trained his troops harder than usual.

Emperor Hongzhi stood aside, and he didn't know if he really didn't see it, or if he didn't see it, so he just concentrated on training the troops, and didn't pay attention to Emperor Hongzhi at all.

On the contrary, Zhang Yonghe and Gu Dayong, who were accompanying Zhu Houzhao on the side, saw Emperor Hongzhi below, and saw that Zhu Houzhao practiced so hard, it was not appropriate to call it, and it seemed inappropriate not to call it.

Just when the two were in a dilemma, Xie Zhi waved his hand at him and called the two over.

After Zhang Yong and Gu Da came running with two people, they were about to salute when they were stopped by Xie Zhi.

Xie Zhi pulled up a smile and said with a smile: "What's more, these two are merchants from Beijing. ”

Zhang Yong and Gu Da used their energy to mix in the palace, they all had exquisite hearts, and with such a simple sentence of thanks, they also understood, stopped saluting, and just bowed their hands to show their etiquette.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and did not say much.

Xie Zhi asked casually, "Where is Brother Shouren?" ”

All the training in the cloud was assigned by Wang Shouren, and only after finding Wang Shouren did he know where all the training of the guards in the cloud was.

Zhang Yong opened his mouth and said: "When it is in the back mountain, there are soldiers practicing artillery in Japan. ”

Xie Zhi asked with some eagerness, "What?" Live ammunition? ”

Gu Dayong hurriedly replied: "It's live ammunition." ”

Zhang Yong said lightly: "Today, not only the artillery practiced live ammunition, but also the fire guns were loaded with live ammunition. ”

Zhang Yong's voice fell, and suddenly, there was a rumbling sound in the distance.

Immediately afterward, a puff of smoke followed the lift-off.

Emperor Hongzhi was more anxious than Xie Zhi, and said urgently: "Let's go, go to the back mountain..."

In the back mountain, a row of more than 20 artillery pieces was aimed at the col in the distance.

"Ignition..."

With Wang Shouren's order, more than two dozen artillery pieces fired into the distance.

Although the artillery used by Yun Zhongwei is still ignition, the range is much more powerful.

It is stronger than the Shenji Battalion, which is known for its firearms.

With the firing of the artillery, Emperor Hongzhi and Xie Qian were both a little surprised, and Emperor Hongzhi spoke: "Xie Qing, this artillery is stronger than the Shenji Battalion, right?" ”

Emperor Hongzhi usually called Xie Zhi by his name, and Xie Zhi didn't pretend to be sentimental, thinking that this was addressing him, so he was in a hurry to answer.

Xie Qian, who was standing next to Emperor Hongzhi, paused after listening to Emperor Hongzhi's answer: "It's more powerful." ”

Since its establishment, the Shenji Battalion has been standing still.

After a while, Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Why is this artillery like this? I remember that this craftsman was also sent to you from the Divine Machine Battalion, right? ”

Xie Zhi was quite proud and triumphant: "The craftsman is really from the Shenji Battalion, the minister himself studied some ideas, originally wanted to hand over to the craftsman to improve, but did not succeed, the craftsman failed to master the key way, there was a bombardment, no way, the minister had to do it himself, he studied it himself, and handed it over to the craftsman's son to create the first new firecracker, and then slightly improved the original artillery, and then there is the current artillery, although this kind of artillery can not remove the fire rope, but the range has been greatly improved. ”

The range of the cannon only needs to be increased by one gunpowder configuration, and the other can be done by improving the running hall.

However, if you want to remove the arquebus and change it to a filled type, there are many issues to consider.

Even if it was just these, it was enough to make Emperor Hongzhi excited, and he patted Xie Zhi on the body, and said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad..."

Three times in a row, the smile on Xie Qian's face was bigger than Xie Zhi's,

If Xie Zhi was only a martial artist, and the Xie family had a profound heritage in poetry and books, Xie Qian might not be excited.

The key is that Xie Zhi has won three yuan in a row, and he is also known for his quick thinking.

Together, these two things are sufficient.

After another fight, Wang Shouren ordered the artillery to be collected.

Although the silver earned in the cloud can support the training in the cloud, it still has to be sold if it should be sold miserably.

"Your Majesty, these firearms are powerful, but the amount of silver required is a lot, and a cannon must need at least ten taels or more to fire once, which is completely burning money, there is no way, and the minister's training can only take a long time to get a live ammunition.

However, fortunately, accompanied by His Royal Highness, the morale was high, and even if they only trained once every three or five days, the brothers still trained very hard. ”

How could Emperor Hongzhi not know Xie Zhi's thoughts, and asked, "If you need silver, just ask." ”

If Xie Zhi asks Emperor Hongzhi for silver, there will inevitably be courtiers who oppose it, anyway, his current silver is enough, and it is better not to provoke unnecessary trouble.

Xie Zhi swore an oath, patted his chest and said: "The minister can figure out his own way, and the minister will speak again when he needs it." ”
