Yu Zhiqian finally inexplicably took on a lot of debts, and some famous calligraphy and paintings that Yu Zhiqian had never seen at all were counted on Yu Zhiqian's head.

But in this case, Yu Zhiqian could only agree to it, otherwise, Yu Zhiqian might have to taste the taste of the willow whip again, in order not to suffer from the flesh and skin, Yu Zhiqian still agreed in his mouth.

The emperor also had good intentions, and in order to worry that the prince would forget, he had to take the trouble to beat the prince, and wrote a note detailing the things that had recently been lost in the palace, from calligraphy and paintings to some vases.

"Father, don't worry, the sons will definitely get all these things back!"

Looking at the catalog on the strip, Yu Zhiqian almost cried, he was about to bleed again, only a small part of these things were moved out of the palace by himself, and more were taken away by his father.

But Yu Zhiqian decided to grit his teeth and endure it, compared to Wang Xizhi's words, these things are worthless.

The emperor was very satisfied with the performance of the prince, and felt that after he whipped the prince a few times, the whole person was refreshed, his waist was not sore, his head did not hurt anymore, and he even saw things a lot more clearly.

"Okay, what's the matter with you entering the palace!" The emperor was in a good mood after a mouthful of nausea, and began to inquire about business.

Yu Zhiqian touched his calf, just two whips, his cheap dad definitely didn't keep his hand, it really hurts, but when it comes to business, Yu Zhiqian's face is straight, he took out his piece and handed it to the emperor: "Father, the son is here to ask for money, the Whampoa Military Academy established by the son, the Kalitown College and the Tsinghua Park all need a lot of capital investment, the treasury is full, and the son wants to apply for some research funds to ......"

After hearing this, the emperor looked at the music in Yu Zhiqian's hand, and after reading it, his brows furrowed: "These research institutes need to invest so much money? ”

Yu Zhiqian's plan was to ask for 300,000 taels of silver, which was converted into tens of millions of copper coins, which could catch up with one-sixtieth of the empire's total annual income.

"Father, this money is money that must be spent, although it seems to be a lot of investment, but the return is very rich, does the father still remember the glass? The majority of the father's inner library is now generated by glass, and the sons spent about 100,000 taels on researching glass! After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he looked at the emperor with pitiful eyes, hoping that the emperor would open his mouth and return the money to himself.

"A pile of sand burned out of something, you spent 100,000 taels?"

The emperor blew his beard and glared, expressing his disbelief, Yu Zhiqian immediately became excited when he heard it: "Father, you can't say that, you have seen the results now, the glass is burned out of sand, but before that, who knows, Erchen experiments with various materials, but also experiments with various fire cellars, adds various additives, etc., which requires a lot of manpower and material resources!" ”

Hearing Yu Zhiqian's explanation, the emperor nodded and squinted his eyes and thought: "That's true, among these three academies, are there any research results?" ”

Looking at the emperor, Yu Zhiqian thought for a while: "Gunpowder has been improved and can be used in actual combat, as well as pulley sets, gliders, hot air balloons, etc.!" ”

Yu Zhiqian simply said a few things that are progressing faster, among which the hot air balloon is more dangerous in addition to the lack of inert gas, in fact, it can be lifted into the air, but Yu Zhiqian has not experimented, waiting for the inert gas to be studied.

"So much?" Most of these things have been heard by the emperor, and after thinking for a while, he slowly spoke: "You ask people to prepare, and when they are ready, I will personally see the test and make a decision!" ”

"Whoa!"

Although he didn't get the note, but at least there was a result, Yu Zhiqian went back to prepare, and let the emperor and ministers see what science and technology are when the time comes.

"Son's resignation!" Yu Zhiqian was busy with things and was ready to leave.

The emperor nodded: "Call the seventh man in, oh, by the way, I almost forgot about it, boss, you have almost practiced your words, Wang Xizhi's Lan Tingxu and the goose post are sent back!" ”

Yu Zhiqian, who was about to go out, stumbled and almost fell, this cheap dad already knows? My own wife......

"Father, Erchen thinks that Erchen's handwriting still needs to be practiced twice......"

"Huh?"

The emperor's eyes narrowed, and then he got up thoughtfully and walked to the willow whip, looking at the willow whip as if he was thinking about something, Yu Zhiqian instantly understood after seeing it, threat, naked threat, if he didn't give it, the emperor would whip himself, Yu Zhiqian sighed, he was under the eaves, and he had to bow his head......

"Erchen will be sent to the palace when he goes back!"

"Well, go ahead, I just think this willow whip is in the way of view!" After finishing speaking, he picked up the willow whip and put it in its original position.

Yu Zhiqian walked out of the Ganlu Palace, looked back, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, the loss is big, the loss is big, the loss is great, the loss of the wife and the soldiers, I thought that I could hack Wang Xizhi's words, it seems that everything is under the control of my father, and sure enough, I am still too young, compared with the old fox, I am still too tender!

"Big brother, big brother, are you okay!"

Seeing his eldest brother coming out, Lao Qi immediately greeted him, Yu Zhiqian's screams just now were really terrible, and Lao Qi kept thinking about what was going on in the room.

Yu Zhiqian shook his head and sighed: "It's okay, the old seventh father emperor called you, the eldest brother still has something to do, go first!" After finishing speaking, he left without looking back, and just after taking two steps, he felt some pain in his legs, and couldn't help but gasp: "Father is really ruthless, this whip!" After finishing speaking, he rubbed it vigorously, and the next time he saw his cheap brother, he must wear more clothes!

Lao Qi watched his eldest brother leave without looking back, and was a little anxious, but Wu Sangui had already come to his side: "Your Highness the Seventh, Your Majesty is invited!" ”

"Ahh Lao Qi came back to his senses, looked at Wu Sangui, and secretly picked up a piece of jade and stuffed it over: "Father-in-law Wu, big brother just now?" ”

Wu Sangui immediately waved his hand, he dared to accept some of the prince's money, but he didn't dare to accept the jade pendant, he waved his hand and said: "Your Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, the old slave was outside the palace just now like you, I don't know what happened in the palace, you go in quickly, don't let Your Highness wait!" ”

Lao Qi nodded and took a deep breath, he had never been so afraid to see his father, the screams of his eldest brother just now made him feel a little palpitating, worried that he would be beaten by his father later.

At this time, Lao Qi remembered his childhood, his father was so loving at that time, why did he suddenly ...... now

With all kinds of miscellaneous thoughts in his head, Lao Qi walked into the manna hall, and the emperor was carefully observing the willow whip, recalling the feeling when he beat the prince just now, the emperor felt that the whips just now were really too comfortable, and the evil spirit that had been away for a long time was also released.

"It seems that I have nothing to do in the future, I have to beat the prince more!"

The emperor said to himself, and was heard by the seventh who had just entered the door, and the seventh was so frightened that he trembled, what is the situation, the father has nothing to do in the future to beat these princes of himself?

"Erchen, Erchen has seen his father!" Lao Qi cautiously bowed to the emperor, Lao Qi swore that this was the most standard one he had done since he learned the royal etiquette, and every action was meticulous, for fear that he would make a mistake, and his father picked up the willow whip at hand and whipped him.

"Well, the seventh is here!"

After the emperor saw Lao Qi, he showed a smile on his face, waved his hand at Lao Qi, signaled Lao Qi to get closer, and picked up his willow whip to put it back, Lao Qi looked at the willow whip in the emperor's hand, and then looked at his father's action of letting himself get closer, gritted his teeth, and was ready to be punished, although he didn't know what he did wrong, but Lao Tzu beat his son, and it was justified.

"Seventh, you came here with the prince just now, it seems that something is wrong?"

The expected whip did not fall, the emperor put away the willow whip, Lao Qi was a little relieved, and when he heard his father's inquiry, he immediately shook his head: "Father, the son is fine, the son just misses his father, come and take a look!" ”

"And what are you doing with the movement in your hand?"

"Huh?"

The emperor looked at his seventh prince and felt that this guy was a little weird today, so he couldn't help but take the music in Lao Qi's hand directly into his hand and open it.

After Lao Qi saw the emperor take away his concerto, he only had one feeling, it was over, he was finished, and he might not be able to avoid today's beating!

The emperor glanced at Lao Qi's fold and instantly understood, Lao Qi and the eldest were both here to ask for money: "Your eldest brother asked you to come?" ”

"Father, this has nothing to do with the eldest brother, yes, yes, it's the son's son who has no money!"

As a brother, Lao Qi feels that he can't betray his eldest brother, his eldest brother is the prince, in case he has to be blamed by his father, and when the time comes, if he can't be the prince, who will be the prince? Yourself? Don't, when the crown prince is the emperor, where is it interesting to study the steam engine!

The emperor glanced at the seven princes, and the two brothers seemed to have a good relationship, as if the prince and the rest of the brothers had a good relationship, and the emperor nodded with satisfaction with the behavior of the seventh child who subconsciously maintained his eldest brother, as the emperor, what he wanted to see most was that his princes were humble and respectful.

"You want 100,000 taels?"

"Erchen, Erchen doesn't want it, Erchen thinks that he will go back and raise it himself, it should be enough to research the steam engine!"

The emperor glanced at Lao Qi, feeling more and more strange about Lao Qi, and returned to his desk: "How is the research on the steam engine?" ”

Hearing the emperor ask about his professional knowledge, Lao Qi instantly came to the spirit: "Father, the steam engine has developed greatly, and Erchen has built a vehicle that can move by himself, but the volume is relatively large, and the kinetic energy conversion efficiency is relatively low, and the speed is not fast, so it cannot be put into use, but the father believes in Erchen, and Erchen will soon be able to build a qualified steam engine!" ”

Hearing the words of the Seventh Prince, the emperor looked at the Seventh Prince with some surprise, he didn't expect that the Seventh Prince had already studied the steam engine to this point, and looked at Lao Qi: "What does the qualified steam engine you said look like?" ”

Lao Qi thought for a while: "Father, if the son of the son of the qualified steam engine research, can build a huge vehicle, can tow tens of thousands of tons of goods, well, the eldest brother said so, the eldest brother also said that you can build an ironclad ship, the use of the steam engine, now the son of the steam engine can drive the grinding disc and some things, for the time being, it has not reached the level of the big brother said, but the son feels that as long as the son continues to improve, it can reach the standard that the big brother said!" ”

The emperor fell into contemplation, compared to the prince's somewhat out-of-the-box character, Lao Qi is more steady, and generally the words that come out of Lao Qi's mouth will not be false, this child is more sincere, the road of steam engine seems to work, the emperor looked at Lao Qi: "If I give you enough money, how long will it take for you to be able to research a qualified steam engine?" ”

Hearing this, Lao Qi's face showed joy: "Father, if there is enough money to support and enough manpower, at most three years, Erchen will be able to improve the steam engine, but the biggest problem now is not the improvement of the steam engine, but now my ironmaking technology is a little substandard, there are more impurities in the iron, and the price of good iron ingots purchased by Erchen is too high!" ”

The emperor waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this, I will send someone to search for the best iron ingots for you, the quality of the iron ore over there in Ma'anshan is good, and it will be specially used for you at that time!" ”

"Thank you, Father!"

"Your excerpt has been approved, go to the household department to get the money, go!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Lao Qi was overjoyed, he didn't expect that he was worried about whether he would be beaten just now, but now he can suddenly get the money, what an unexpected joy!

After receiving the recital approved by his father, Lao Qiqi ran out in a hurry, ready to tell his eldest brother the good news.

"Your Highness, slow down, don't fall!"

Wu Sangui watched Lao Qi rush out, and couldn't help but remind him, Lao Qi didn't hear it at all, and quickly ran towards the palace gate, if nothing else, his eldest brother should not be out of the palace now, after all, his eldest brother had just been beaten by his father, and it seemed a little inconvenient to walk.

When Lao Qi chased Yu Zhiqian, Yu Zhiqian was sitting on the steps and kept rubbing his wounds, grandma was a bear, the emperor was a little ruthless just now, there were two bruises on his legs, he didn't notice it at first, but after walking a few steps, he would find some pain, Yu Zhiqian had to find a place to rest, and let people find some medicine for bruises to apply to himself.

"Big brother, big brother, big brother!"

After Lao Qi saw Yu Zhiqian from a distance, he immediately shouted loudly.

"Stop shouting, you can hear me, why were you beaten too?"
