Of course, Yang Dudu would not know that less than two hundred meters away from his home, a group of people were repeating Ye Guangfu's unfinished business.

It's not a big deal, though.

"Feng Sanyuan?"

Yang Xin repeated the unfamiliar name suspiciously.

"Hui Dudu, this person is from Yiwu, and Xu Du entered Beijing together, he lived in a house in Anfufang with a group of Yiwu accents, and lied that he was a merchant who entered Beijing, waiting to return after the river opened."

Sun Yunhe said.

Of course, Yang Xin will not even check.

The next day, he asked Xu Xianchun to arrange for someone to keep an eye on Anfufang, and also drew a sketch portrait for them, in fact, this portrait is enough, Jin Yiwei has long been eyeing Xu Du's group, but he still has to confirm it, Jin Yiwei, who is in charge of stalking, immediately confirmed after seeing Feng Sanyuan, and the rest is a more detailed investigation.

"But ......"

Sun Yunhe wanted to speak and stopped.

"Say!"

Yang Xin said.

"Back to the governor, the house where they live is Keguangxian's family."

Sun Yunhe gritted his teeth and said.

"Keguang first?"

Yang Xin immediately smiled.

"Governor, do you want to go in and search?"

Sun Yunhe said cautiously.

Of course, his mind understands that this has risen to the level of an immortal fight, but Jinyi Wei Beiya was originally a subordinate of Yang Dudu, and since Xu Xianchun took over Beiya, this institution is respected by Yang Dudu, in this case, there is no other choice, and he must show his loyalty to the boss. Feng Sanyuan's gang must have a problem, and it is even more problematic to be involved with Hakka first, but searching means fighting with the Hakka again, and finding out what is of course the best, if you can't find it, you have to face the anger of Mrs. Fengsheng.

Although the latter has been a little cold recently, his position in the palace has not wavered.

The emperor still can't do without her service.

"Search? No, what else can they do? When the time comes, Mrs. Fengsheng will have to cry again, we don't need to block the Long Live Lord, by the way, you take your brothers to send something to the palace with me. ”

Yang Xin said.

After saying that, he walked straight outside.

At this time, he was at home, Sun Yunhe hurriedly followed, with the accompanying four brocade guards, followed Yang Xin to the gate, two four-wheeled carriages were already waiting here, and then they went out together, Yang Xin was in front, Sun Yunhe guarded the carriage, and quickly turned to Xi'an Gate.

When I arrived in front of the gate of Xi'an, I saw a few people waiting at the reception station outside, who came to offer treasures or science-related books, machinery, technology, and even new crop seeds, including new prescriptions and medicinal materials. Because there are more and more, and it is impossible for the apocalypse to meet in person one by one, it has been changed to a screening system, they come here to deliver and be inspected, and then according to the classification of the offering, it will be reviewed in advance by several masters of the Academy of Sciences, and if it is somewhat valuable but not high, it will be given a patent if it needs to be granted, and if it is not necessary to grant a patent, it will be sent away with ten taels of silver.

A truly valuable referral to the apocalypse.

Generally, Song Yingxing, Mao Yuanyi, and Wu Zhiwang are responsible for auditing.

Those who are purely cheating money are directly kicked out.

This is also indispensable, in fact, the proportion of pure fraud is very high, and there are still people who take those messy miscellaneous firearms to offer treasures, like some deformed spears and the like, such as quickly get out, but because the apocalypse is making steam engines, so those craftsmen who really understand technology are very valued.

After all, those parts have to be turned from drawings into physical objects, and this must be done by real craftsmen.

Yang Xin led the carriage into Xi'an Gate in the salute of the soldiers guarding the gate, and then turned to the Academy of Sciences, and saw Wu Zhiwang coming over, obviously waiting outside for medicine. He has now been completely reduced to the head of medicine at the Academy of Sciences, and his official title is still Taichang Siqing, but in fact, the affairs are completely handed over to Shaoqing, and his son Wu Xian Zhezhi County's term of office has not expired, so he was directly appointed by Tianqi as the prefect of Chengdu, as a compensation for Wu Zhiwang's inability to continue to be a feudal official.

Old Man Wu is actually very willing to be an official.

He had been the governor of the trilateral until he committed suicide because of his ineffective crackdown on bandits and the mutiny of his subordinates.

Yang Xin said hello to him, and then went directly to the Academy of Sciences, and Sun Yunhe and the others continued to follow.

The Academy of Sciences is already huge.

Starting from a special corridor between the Salary Division and the Great Light Temple, it is divided into multiple areas to the south, centered on Rabbit Mountain, and the top of Rabbit Mountain is an observatory with various astronomical instruments, a giant astronomical telescope like a cannon facing the sky, and a huge four-sided clock tower that provides time for the entire area. And the core of the entire Academy of Sciences is the special work of the Apocalypse, which is actually the original rotary grinding platform, surrounded by a circle of newly built high walls, and there is a circle of walls outside, which is actually a double wall, with a guard regiment patrolling the corridor in the middle.

There's a ring of water outside.

There are two gates, north and east.

Outside the east gate is a dedicated imperial road, which is also a closed road, leading to the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial Palace.

This is what the apocalypse does every day.

And the north gate is walked by someone else.

"What good things did my brother bring with you?"

Apocalypse looked at the carriage behind Yang Xin expectantly.

"Princess Le'an!"

Yang Xin saluted the girl beside him and said.

The latter hurriedly returned the salute.

This is Xi Li's daughter, the little sister of the apocalypse, who is also fourteen years old at this time, and looks quite like her mother, of course, she is still just a big Lori, and she has a good relationship with Xiaocao.

"Your Majesty, your hot air balloon is ready."

Yang Xin then said to the apocalypse.

"Quick, take it out and give it a try!"

Apocalypse immediately said excitedly.

Behind Yang Xin, Sun Yunhe and the others hurriedly lifted the same thing out of the carriage, and under the guidance of Yang Xin, they quickly spread out the sphere of the hot air balloon, which was huge, and on the other carriage was a hanging basket, made of bamboo, and an iron skeleton was used. The stove on top was also separate, and the three parts were assembled by Yang Xin with them personally, and soon a huge hot air balloon was completed, and then Yang Xin lit the stove, and as the flame of whale oil burned, the huge hot air balloon gradually bulged.

Apocalypse can't wait to get in.

"Your Majesty, you have to give it a try."

Yang Xin hurriedly stopped him.

Then he glanced at Sun Yunhe, who went in without hesitation, and Yang Xin immediately went into the basket as well.

Hot air balloons are rising.

However, this is still a tethered balloon.

There is a rope underneath the hot air balloon that is tied to the stone railing of the milling platform, otherwise it will be too much trouble to get back.

In the gaze of the people looking up below, the hanging basket that Yang Xin and Sun Yunhe were riding rose higher and higher, and soon it had risen to more than ten zhang, and then was pulled by the rope below, and floated in mid-air to the direction of the city wall with the wind, but because of the small wind, it quickly stabilized in mid-air.

"Pull it down!"

Yang Xin shouted from above.

At the same time he turned off the stove.

The brocade guards and guards below pulled the ropes and quickly pulled them back to the ground.

"Your Majesty, there is no problem, you can ride."

Yang Xin said.

Apocalypse did not hesitate to enter the hanging basket.

"You guys, follow with the guards."

Yang Xin said to Sun Yunhe.

The latter is still trembling to this day.

His Majesty the Emperor's courage was obviously stronger than him, as Yang Xin re-lit the furnace, cut the rope below, the hot air balloon was left again, and His Majesty the Emperor's excited roar immediately sounded in the sky, and Sun Yunhe, who had recovered below, quickly went out with the brocade guards and guards, together with the special carriage of the Apocalypse, at this time the hot air balloon had begun to float out of the city wall with the wind.

"Your Majesty, use this!"

Yang Xin in the hanging basket said.

Only then did Apocalypse discover that there was a telescope next to the hanging basket, and it was binocular.

He immediately lay on the telescope, and then adjusted the field of view downward, at this time they had risen to a height of more than two hundred meters, and this had already exceeded the commanding height of the entire capital, that is, the height of Rabbit Mountain, the latter said that it was fifty zhang high, but in fact it was only about 100 meters, and there was no technology to measure the vertical height of such a mountain in ancient times. It can be said that it is the first time that Apocalypse admires his capital city at such a high level, because the wind is very small, the hot air balloon flutters very slowly, and the position has just crossed the city wall, and the entire capital below spreads out in front of his eyes, from east to west.

It was as if the whole world was at his feet.

Even the wilderness beyond the walls could be seen clearly through his binoculars.

"This is my picturesque country!"

He said with emotion.

But in fact, there is nothing to see, at this time it is the first month, the whole capital is gray, even the wilderness outside is gray, especially the Xicheng District where the telescope is opposed, the vast majority of them are civilians, the wealthy families of the capital are concentrated in the North City and Dongcheng District, especially the few squares next to the palace, Xicheng District, especially the southwest part from Yang Xin's Xianyi Fang to the south, is completely a low-end population residential area.

Otherwise, how could you put a powder magazine in this area?

"The life of the people is not good!"

Apocalypse said.

His binoculars were pointed at the street, and the clothes of the common people could be seen clearly.

It must be understood that the north of the Ming Dynasty has always been very poor, there is an essential difference between the north and the south, the grain yield per mu in the north is considered to be a high-quality field, generally in six or seven buckets, such a mu yield is almost impossible to count on abundant food and clothing, the capital is dependent on Cao Yun to feed, without Cao Yun can not live at all. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, because the supply in the south was cut off, the city starved to death by hundreds of thousands, relying on Zhang Shicheng to send a batch of food to survive, without Zhang Shicheng's food, Emperor Yuan Shun would have abandoned the city and ran away.

Such a city cannot be rich, it is barely maintained.

Especially most of the people in the city are military households, and these military households live even worse, it can be said that what is shown in front of the apocalypse at this moment is definitely not the Qingming Shanghe map, he can't see his picturesque country, and it is slightly stronger than those old photos at the end of the Qing Dynasty.

He couldn't see bright and vivid colors in front of him.

His vision is only gray.

The dying gray.

"Your Majesty, why don't you find a family and see how their family is doing?"

Yang Xin held the telescope, and in the shaking of the hanging basket, he quietly aimed the vision of the apocalypse at a residential area below......
