Chapter 1 O Eight: Flying and jumping off the little five

"Big brother," Zhu Youzhen shouted and rushed into Changchun Palace.

Zhu Youxiao's eyes moved away from the palace model, and he watched Xiao Wu gradually approach from a distance. His eyes fell on the drawings flying up and down in Xiao Wu's hand, and he smiled knowingly.

"This little five, I don't know what happened?" Zhu You proofread the drawings made by Xiao Wu, full of expectation. Xiao Wu's whimsy can surprise him.

"What is this?" Looking at the drawings in front of him, Zhu Youxiao muttered a little in his heart.

"Is this a bird?" Zhu Youxiao asked with some hesitation.

The musket in the picture is somewhat similar to the bird's gun, but isn't the barrel of the bird's gun thin and long? At least he saw that the bird guns used for internal manipulation were all thin and long, not quite the same as the ones on the drawings.

"Insightful." Zhu Youzhen gave Zhu Youxiao a thumbs up, and his tone was a little joking.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao's somewhat suspicious look, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly explained: "Big brother, this is really a bird's gun." ”

"Bird? Big brother, who gave this name? Why does it sound so weak? It sounds like a bird hunter. Zhu Youzhen didn't explain the drawings, but first complained about the name of the Daming musket.

"Don't worry about the name, what do you mean by this?" Zhu Youxiao asked directly.

"Big brother," Zhu Youzhen put away his playful attitude and said solemnly: "A few days ago, I heard the head of the house talk about the old things of Salhu. ”

The sect leader said that my Ming musket could not penetrate the heavy armor of the Houjin Tartar at all. It is often easy for the Tartars to rush to the front of the army.

The younger brother thought, doesn't the musket just rely on gunpowder to push the projectile to hurt people? If you can't wear heavy armor, it's just that the gunpowder is less.

How much gunpowder can be put in those thin, long tubes at a time?

"Look at my masterpiece." Zhu Youzhen refers to the drawings in Zhu Youxiao's hand.

After listening to Zhu Youzhen's long exposition, Zhu Youxiao stared at him for a long time and did not speak.

Being stared at so intently by Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youzhen felt a little hairy in his heart, and he uncomfortably rubbed his feet back and forth on the ground twice.

"Little Wu, you've really grown up." Zhu Youxiao affectionately hugged Zhu Youjian's shoulder, "Yo, Xiao Wu is almost as tall as him."

"My little five know how to get down to business." Zhu Youxiao laughed loudly.

"Okay, with your picture, I'll arrange for the craftsman to make a few first. When I try it, I will know whether my little five's idea makes sense. Zhu Youxiao said jokingly.

What he said was interesting, but Zhu Youxiao was a little bitter in his heart.

How old is Xiao Wucai, he hasn't tied his hair yet, he's only 15. That's when I started trying to share my worries.

Alas, none of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are worried about the war situation in Liaodong, and they will fight for it. It's not as good as Xiao Wu, an underage child.

In the end, it's still my brother who is closer!

Zhu Youxiao was very emotional in his heart.

"Little Five, your princess and sister-in-law are about to be elected. You're going to get married next year. When it comes to this topic, Zhu Youxiao seems to feel a little reluctant.

"When you get married, you really become an adult. You can't fly like this anymore. ”

mentioned the word Feiyang jumping, Zhu Youxiao was a little angry.

is such a caring little five, and there are still people in the court who impeach him for his lack of cultivation, his personality, and his domineering. It is recommended to arrange a well-known Confucian as a teacher for Xiao Wu, and train it well.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Big brother, am I not good like this?" Zhu Youzhen opened his innocent eyes and asked a little stupidly.

Looking at Xiao Wu's cute expression, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile.

yes, isn't that bad?

I'm just such a younger brother, do I have to be like those boring masters in the court?

If you really grow up to that way, is that still my little five?

Zhu Youxiao made up his mind in his heart and proposed to arrange Da Ru to be a teacher for Xiao Wu, so he should stay in the middle school.

Anyway, Xiao Wu doesn't need to take any fame tests in this life, just follow his heart and let him live happily.

"Big brother, isn't my princess beautiful?" Zhu Youzhen suddenly popped out a sentence that made Zhu Youxiao speak.

Zhu Youxiao was speechless for a while, and Feiyang jumped away from this evaluation, but what he said was not wrong at all.

"Your princess, how would I know?" Zhu Youxiao said angrily.

"Haven't you even seen it? Alas! Zhu Youzhen completely accepted his fate.

In this evil old society, even the eldest brother has never seen her as an emperor, so don't think about it.

"Big brother" Zhu Youzhen rolled his eyes and changed the topic in a different direction.

"Big brother, you have to arrange some more soldiers for me." Zhu Youzhen made a bold request, and he didn't seem to know what evasion was at all.

"This is an uneasy little five, this is a problem for me." Zhu Youxiao's determination seemed to be a little shaken.

This kind of request, is this forcing him to change his hexagram?

"Haha." Zhu Youxiao smiled bitterly angrily.

Also arrange soldiers? Xiao Wu, you have 500 regular military horses of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, which is beyond the guard regulations of the vassal king, okay?

Do you still want it?

The king of the Ming Dynasty nominally could have three guards.

But since King Ning rebelled during the Zhengde period, the Ming vassal king can have 200 guards, which is already the default upper limit of the imperial court.

Even if you're a little five, can't it be too outrageous?

Angry, Zhu Youxiao didn't suspect that Xiao Wu had any bad thoughts at all.

"Big brother, what are you laughing at?" Seeing that Zhu Youxiao looked embarrassed, Zhu Youzhen pointed his fingers and calculated them for him one by one.

The money village from Beijing to Nanjing needs 500 people to protect the silver car transportation, right?

Nanjing to Susong Qianzhuang also needs at least 100 people to protect, right?

What about Beijing to Taiyuan and Xi'an?

What about the other cities in Daming?

"This, this ......, how come there are so many?" Zhu Youxiao's mouth opened wide in surprise.

"Xiao Wu, has your money bank opened so much?" Zhu Youxiao interrupted Xiao Wu's calculation and asked with some uncertainty.

"What my bank, is our bank." Zhu Youzhen corrected his question loudly.

"Oh, yes, yes, it's our bank." Only then did Zhu Youxiao remember that he also had a share in Qianzhuang. It seems that he is the major shareholder, and Xiao Wu gave him dividends last year.

How much silver is there, it seems to be 300,000, right?

It's the end of this year again, according to the amount and posture calculated by Xiao Wu, this year should be a lot more dividends than last year, right?

Xiao Wu's ability to make money is really amazing.

How much more can it surpass last year?

300,000 taels of silver, Zhu Youxiao doesn't pay much attention to it, it's just the amount of alleviating the harem.

But if it can reach 600,000, it will be of great use.

This year's dividends are really worth looking forward to!

Zhu Youxiao thought and ran away.

"Big brother, big brother" Zhu Youzhen shouted several times in a row, but Zhu Youxiao didn't respond.

"Big brother, are you listening?" Zhu Youzhen simply pulled Zhu Youxiao's sleeve.

"You say, you say, I'm listening." Zhu Youxiao's face turned red rarely, and he hurriedly covered up the past.

"I said, at the latest in the second half of next year, we will need to guard the money exchange between the various divisions and capitals of our Ming Dynasty. Big brother, you can watch it. Zhu Youzhen was obviously dissatisfied with Zhu Youxiao's distraction, and he said firmly.
