The Uliangha belonged to the eastern Mongol tribes, but due to their limited strength, they had to swing between the Qin and the Twar, Tatar, and Ming dynasties.

During the Hongzhi period, as the Tatar tribe became stronger and stronger, many tribes of the Uliangha had to rely on the Dayan tribe to barely survive, and they were bullied and oppressed.

In this case, the Wuliangha people had to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty, so the envoys who went to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute this time were far less arrogant and domineering than the Tatar envoys Yi Si Ma Yin, and maintained enough respect for the **** kingdom, which was exactly what the Ming court wanted to see.

Li Qi and Shen Xi settled the people, and the Uliangha envoy proposed to enter the palace to see the driver, but this was not something that the two could decide.

As for whether Emperor Hongji would grant a meeting, it was up to the emperor to consult with the cabinet ministers before making a decision.

Subsequently, Shen Xi and Li Yi made an appointment to go to the Ministry of Industry to check the situation of the cannon casting, and then went home.

Back at home, Lin Dai, the little woman, was losing her temper.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as Shen Xi entered the inner courtyard, he heard a noise from the east wing, he frowned, did not go back to his room, but entered the east wing, only to see a mess on the ground, Lin Dai seemed to be angry with the maid, throwing things everywhere, not at all like a beautiful lady, more like a rude and willful eldest lady.

Shen Xi knew that this was the result of his habit of Lin Dai, who had been lonely since he was a child, but the love he received from him was no less than that from his relatives.

"Young Master...... I don't know why the young lady lost her temper, it's good if you come back, I'll go down first. Zhu Shan's face was innocent, and before he could figure out what was going on, the young grandmother who was difficult to wait for lost his temper at her, and after seeing Shen Xi, Zhu Shan finally breathed a long sigh of relief, because the only one in the family who could cure this young grandmother was the young master......

Although Zhu Shan's brain is not good, he also knows that Lin Dai is not convinced by Xie Yun'er.

"Go down."

Shen Xi said a word, and when Zhu Shan went out, he turned his head to look at Lin Dai.

At this time, it was noon, Xie Yun'er was resting, and he wanted to take this opportunity to comfort Lin Dai, because he knew that Lin Dai was not going well these days because Xie Yun'er was pregnant, which made Xiao Nizi feel a huge crisis.

In Lin Dai's opinion, although she can't be the main room, if she can give birth to a child for Shen Xi earlier, then she will be the mother of Shen Xi's eldest son, which will improve her status in the Shen family, but God doesn't follow people's wishes, even if she "works hard", she is still taken advantage of by Xie Yun'er because of her late entry.

Then she was cranky...... It's not that I don't want to give you a life, it's that you're kind to each other!

"I lose my temper at every turn, and I am getting more and more disappointed." Shen Xi's face was gloomy, and he couldn't help but scold.

When Lin Dai heard this, her tears immediately fell down: "If you are disappointed...... Divorce me, and neither of us will know anyone in the future, so you don't have to look at me upset...... Woohoo......"

Shen Xi didn't feel sorry for Lin Dai, but he just felt that Lin Dai sometimes Miss Jiaojiao's temper was too heavy, and this kind of anger was easy to say, but it hurt each other, he said sharply: "Where can you go when you walk out of this house?" ”

Lin Dai just sobbed, but couldn't answer. She walked out of the compound without relatives, she didn't even have the most basic survival ability, and her biggest reliance was Shen Xi. The more she felt that Shen Xi was important, the more she cared, which made her mentally impatient and more prone to tantrums.

As she was talking, there was a sound of footsteps at the door, Xie Yun'er came to the east wing with light steps, pushed open the door, saw the scattered things on the ground, and asked in surprise, "Sister, what's wrong?" The prime minister is also there, and the concubine asks for peace to the prime minister. ”

At all times, Xie Yuner is polite and moderate.

And Xie Yun'er will not be pampered and arrogant.

Shen Xi smiled bitterly: "It's okay, the little girl lost her temper, you don't know this girl's temperament." ”

Lin Dai glanced at Shen Xi angrily, and thought: "Who is the little girl, I am obviously older than you, you foolish baby, after having a daughter-in-law, I even forgot our previous mountain alliance and sea oath, I hate you to death!" ”

I want to think so, but if she really wants to do something to hurt Shen Xi, she can't bear it!

Everyone has a rod and scale in their hearts, Shen Xi treats her well, she doesn't admit it in her mouth, but her heart is bright, Shen Xi's respect for her is something that others can't give.

But it is precisely Shen Xi's open-minded tolerance that makes Lin Dai gradually regard herself as a princess living in a fairy tale, in life, even in character.

"My husband hasn't eaten lunch yet, let's go, let's go to dinner together." Shen Xi grabbed Lin Dai's little hand and advised, "Clean up the house by yourself when you come back, otherwise I won't be able to come at night." ”

Lin Daiyao's nose wrinkled slightly, but she still packed her clothes and went out as she said.

After lunch, Shen Xi asked Zhu Shan to find out what was going on...... It turned out that Lin Dai heard that Shen Xi had discussed the name of his and Xie Yun'er's child in advance, and she was heartbroken, and because Zhu Shan didn't bring her lunch into the room, she began to lose her temper indiscriminately.

At this time, Lin Dai had already gone back to the room to clean up, Xie Yun'er sighed lightly: "Is it a concubine, I didn't explain her properly." ”

Shen Xi smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, there will always be stumbles in the family, if you always respect each other like me and you, I feel polite, not like a family." ”

Xie Yun'er didn't understand Shen Xi's thoughts, and asked in surprise: "But Xianggong is the head of the family, and respecting Xianggong shouldn't be what he should do as a wife?" ”

This is where Shen Xi is more entangled.

Xie Yun'er is certainly good at her, but she is always a conservative woman, and her thinking is not only to keep a family, but also to teach her husband and children. Her beauty, gentleness and virtuousness made Shen Xi feel that this family could not lack her as a hostess.

Lin Dai has a self-independent mind, more like a modern woman, although she will have a little temper, but the girl's little emotions can show her innocence and will appear more real. If Lin Dai suppressed herself so deeply like Xie Yun'er, she would have lost her personality.

Every woman has her own advantages and disadvantages, Shen Xi can't tell who he cares more about in his heart, but he knows that many things are difficult to balance in a bowl of water, so he can only work hard himself, run more on both sides of Xie Yun'er and Lin Dai, and balance the relationship with each other.

……

……

The day of Emperor Hongzhi's hunting in the enclosure was set for the third day of October, so there were no days left to prepare.

It is not realistic to imitate and cast the cannon in just a few days, and this time to show the power of the cannon with the Wuliangha people, you can only use the one that Shen Xi found someone to transport back from Quanzhou.

Shen Xi checked the condition of the Franc cannon, and the wear and tear was not too serious, so he symbolically placed a few cannons in front of the Uliangha people to let them know that the power of the cannon was still okay. He informed Zhang Lao Wu and the others of the matter and asked them to perform the cannon for the second time, and this time Zhang Lao Wu was already more confident.

In just a few days, Zhang Lao Wu has brought out more than a dozen gunners, from loading ammunition to firing, these people are already relatively skilled, and the usual practice can not ignite the lead with the shell, lack of practice, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Zhang Lao Wu still took the former two old brothers to perform artillery.

At this time, Zhang Lao Wu had the rank of Zheng Jiupin in the Ministry of War, and he just waited to see later whether he would continue to serve in the Ministry of War or transfer him to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies. However, depending on the situation, it is more likely that he will be sent to the frontier.

“…… My lord, the villain's mother and wife have arrived in the capital safely, with your help, everyone has settled down, and the villain will definitely do a good job for the court in the future and live up to the expectations of the adult. ”

In the past, Zhang Lao Wu was working for Shen Xi, but now it is different, he is working for the imperial court, but he still thinks that Shen Xi is his employer, because he knows very well that if it is not Shen Xi, now he is likely to be affected by Zhang Lian, even if he is not imprisoned, I am afraid that he will have to be dismissed and go home, and there is no future at all.

Shen Xi patted him on the shoulder and encouraged, "Do it well." ”

A simple sentence of cheering made Zhang Lao Wu feel that his whole body was full of strength, because in his eyes, this young man was simply amazing.

Shen Xi didn't stop much, he discussed going to the Ministry of Industry with Li Qi to inspect the cannon casting, but he was ordered by Ma Wensheng to supervise, and it was justifiable, although Li Qi's official position was higher than him, but he could only accompany him.

The Ming Dynasty's weapons casting was responsible for the Ministry of Industry and the Inner Government Supervision Bureau, and the Ministry of Industry and the Inner Government Weapons Bureau and the Inner Government Military Bureau were the main functional yamen, and the armor factory and Wang Gong factory were the main production departments.

What Shen Xi and Li Qi were going to was Wang Gongchang, which was about six miles away from the palace and in the southwest corner of the inner city of the capital.

Wang Gong Factory is also known as the Gunpowder Bureau.

When it comes to the Wang Gong Factory, Shen Xi naturally thinks of the explosion of the Wang Gong Factory during the Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, this is because the Wang Gong Factory is mainly a place for the production of gunpowder, and it is also a gunpowder storage point, and the amount of gunpowder piled up in it accounts for almost half of the entire Ming Dynasty gunpowder stock.

Hundreds of years later, similar fireworks factories have many modern instruments and equipment, let alone ancient times.

It's like a big explosives depot in the capital, which can explode at any time. However, because it stored the most important gunpowder, it was afraid of being looted, and it could not be set up outside the city, and even the outer city was not suitable, so Wang Gongchang could only be set up in the corner of the inner city, also to avoid the palace from being affected by the explosion.

When the site was first selected for the Wanggong plant, the risk of explosion was considered.

But at least for hundreds of years after its establishment, there was never a major explosion, mainly because before the Jiajing Dynasty, artillery and guns had not yet become the main equipment of the army, and Wang Gong's factory had not stored so much gunpowder.

Because the Ministry of War had already greeted the Ministry of Industry, the arrival of Shen Xi and Li Qi was not hindered too much, but since it was a functional yamen for casting weapons, Shen Xi and Li Yi would still be followed by soldiers when they entered, saying that they were escorts, but in fact they were surveillance.

Inside, from time to time people come up to search, but since they are court officials, this search is symbolic.

After passing through a few curfews, Li Qi asked curiously, "Shen Yude used to go in and out of this kind of place often?" ”

Li Qi is not very clear about Shen Xi's origin, he only knows that Shen Xi is the champion of his own youth, and he doesn't know anything else, and now he sees that Shen Xi has taken him in and out of the weapon casting office yamen without any obstacles, which inevitably makes him have other thoughts: "Could it be that this little champion has another background and a factory guard background?" ”

In recent years, except for the factory guards, no one seems to be able to come and go freely in a place like Wang Gongchang.

Shen Xi smiled: "No, I just came over for the Ministry of War to supervise the cannon casting matter." ”

Li Yi was relieved, but he was more and more amazed in his heart, this Hanlin official actually did things for the military department, which confirmed his previous guess.

Champion Lang has a bright future!

The people leading the way in front led Shen Xi and Li Qi to the compound near the city wall, which was separated from the rest of the courtyard by a small river two or three meters wide, and occupied an extremely vast area, and from time to time you could see the iron-making furnace, which was the place where the cannon was cast......

In the Ming Dynasty, if you want to cast the barrel of a Franc cannon, you need to use a lot of manpower and material resources.
