Zhang Bin chatted with the Bi brothers for a while, and found that although the two were brothers, their personalities were very different.

Bi Maoliang is the kind of old and serious person, who thinks about problems carefully, but his thinking is a little stubborn, and it is a little difficult to fool him.

Bi Maokang is different, although he is gentle and elegant in appearance, his personality is quite free and easy, or a little impulsive, and it seems easier to fool him.

It seems that if these two brothers want to break through each other, it may be easier to win over Bi Maokang first.

Zhang Bin had made a decision in his heart, but he was silent on the surface, and he was no longer entangled in the research and development of weapons, but asked Bi Maoliang for advice on how to be an official.

If you want people to talk to you about speculation, you can't catch the topics you are interested in for a while, but you should try to find topics that the other party is interested in to chat.

Because the topic you are interested in may not be of interest to the other party, if the other party obviously does not want to say more, and you insist on talking, the other party will feel bored.

If you find a topic that the other person is interested in, the other person will definitely talk more and more, and if you can show the same interest, then the two parties will be able to talk more and more closely.

Bi Maoliang is still more interested in the way of being an official, because he has been an official for many years, and he has some experience, and he is bored at home, and he always wants to find someone to talk to.

For this reason, he even often went to the Doosan Academy in the capital city of Huizhou to give lectures, so much so that their brothers were mistaken for the Donglin Party.

They can indeed be regarded as the academy faction, but they are not the Donglin party.

Because the place where Bi Maoliang lectures is Doosan Academy instead of Donglin Academy, and Bi Maokang is the founder of the largest Lishan Academy in Shandong, it really has nothing to do with Donglin Academy.

Besides, if they are really Donglin Party members, with Wei Zhongxian's temperament, it would be strange if they couldn't take care of themselves in their lives, how could they let them stay at home leisurely.

Bi Maoliang vigorously talked about being honest and honest, serving the country and the people, and Zhang Bin listened carefully like a student, and from time to time took out his achievements in Pingyang to set off, and the more they talked, the more speculative they became.

Chatting and chatting, it was time for dinner, Bi Maoliang was very enthusiastic to keep Zhang Bin for dinner, and Zhang Bin pretended to shirk a few times, and obediently followed them to the dining room.

This banquet is quite sumptuous, and the taste is moderate, but the pot of lychee longan stewed chicken makes Zhang Bin a little unbearable, because it is too sweet.

However, Bi Maoliang and Bi Maokang ate with relish, and Zhang Bin had to show great interest, eating vigorously, no way, who told him to say that he also liked this dish in order to meet Bi Maoliang at the beginning.

Fortunately, the stew is chicken, although it is a little sweet, it is not so greasy, and it is pork that is to be stewed, and he has to eat it and spit it out.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhang Bin talked about the topic of Fujian in a timely manner, and especially told about the defeat of the Dutch by the previous governor Nan Juyi in Penghu.

Chatting and chatting, it was getting late, Bi Maoliang insisted on keeping Zhang Bin for one night before leaving, Zhang Bin naturally couldn't ask for it.

However, after all, Bi Maoliang is in his fifties, and after drinking for a while, he is a little sleepy, in order not to be rude in front of the guests, he had to tell Zhang Bin a crime, and told Bi Maokang to entertain the guests well, and then went back to the backyard to rest.

As soon as Bi Maoliang left, Bi Maokang immediately became active, and he showed great interest in the self-generated firecracker, that is, the flintlock pistol, and pulled Zhang Bin to talk about how to improve the structure of the firecracker.

In fact, at this time, he had just begun to think about the problem of flintlock pistols, and he was far from a complete idea, you know, in history, he was Chongzhen eight years ago in the "Illustrated Weapons of Weapons" to put forward the concept of self-generated firearms, that is, it would take ten years before he could make the flintlock pistol.

Zhang Bin naturally had a draft for a long time, compared with the firearms of later generations, the flintlock pistol is actually nothing, the bird gun, it is even more like a toy, he took the bird gun and looked at it carefully for a while to know how to improve it into a flintlock pistol, but for more than a year, he didn't have the opportunity to do it.

Although the flintlock pistol is simple, it also needs to have tools, people, and venues to make it, if Zhang Bin wants to make it himself, he will definitely not be able to do it, he can't even dance with a hammer to strike iron, let alone knock out the parts in the same way.

However, if you want to talk about the idea alone, it has already matured, and under his inspiration, Bi Maokang is simply a mouthful, and the prototype of the flintlock pistol appeared in his mind ten years in advance!

How much impact this will have on Daming is not yet predictable, but Zhang Bin is not thinking about this problem now, he is thinking more about how to fool Bi Maokang into his lineup.

It's a pity that after talking about the flintlock gun, it's not too early, and I'm afraid it won't be able to fool me this time.

Sure enough, the two chatted for a while, and Bi Maokang said with a little regret: "Alas, it's really better to listen to your words than to read for ten years, but unfortunately it's not too early at this time, Lord Zhang rushed over from Jinling, and he worked hard all the way, so Bi Mou should ask for advice next time." ”

Zhang Bin also said with regret: "Alas, it's really late to see each other, if you want to know Master Bi early, I'm afraid this flintlock pistol has been made a long time ago." It's really not early at this time, so let's talk about it next time we have a chance. ”

Bi Maokang nodded again and again: "Well, next time you have a chance, you must have a good chat, go, Master Zhang, I will take you to the guest room." ”

After saying that, he got up and led Zhang Bin outside.

This Bifu is also quite magnanimous, and the corridor is still brightly lit at night, and the two of them soon came to the guest room while walking and chatting.

At this moment, Bi Maokang seemed to be a little drunk, and he actually blinked his eyes and said to Zhang Bin: "Lord Zhang, I have a few quite cute maids there, why don't you call one to serve?" ”

Just kidding, brother is not a casual person, Zhang Bin heard this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No need, no need." ”

Bi Maokang laughed and said: "Hahahaha, people are not romantic teenagers, Lord Zhang is so personable, haven't you ever been to appreciate Qin Huai Fengyue?" ”

This guy, it turned out to be a good mouthful, but at this time, visiting the Qinglou doesn't seem to be a disgraceful behavior, the so-called romantic talent, you don't look like a genius if you are not romantic.

It seems that this Bi Maokang should be a rather merry talent, well, this is a good breakthrough.

The so-called two irons in life, have carried guns together, prostitutes together, and for the sake of the future, how about accompanying him to visit the Qinglou.

Thinking of this, Zhang Bin tempted: "I live by the Qinhuai River, how can I never be there, it's just that when I first arrived in Jinling, I don't have any friends, and it's not much fun to go alone, if Lord Bi is willing to deign to go to Jinling, I invite Lord Bi to enjoy the Qinhuai Fengyue every day!" ”

When Bi Maokang heard this, he was really moved, and he said with interest: "Is this true? ”

Zhang Bin immediately nodded and said, "Seriously." ”

Bi Maokang thought about it, and then smiled mysteriously: "Master Zhang, don't forget, you will accompany me to enjoy Qin Huai Fengyue when the time comes." “
