Xu Wei entered Beijing with the gift prepared by Zhang You, which was arranged by Zhang You before leaving.

"I know that I care about your cannon, Lao Tzu, I have been traveling all the way, and I don't see you caring about ......"

"You have it, do you have the heart to remember the bittersweet here, do you still need me to care?" While speaking, Zhang You had already entered the door, and there were braziers in the four corners of it, warm as spring, no wonder the door was open.

Taking off the cloak, Sihan hurriedly took it, and Zhang Ruoxuan glanced at Zhang You: "Brother, how can you talk to Mr. Xu?" I don't know how to respect the old and love the young. ”

"Double standards, huh? I didn't hear him just give me the old man, Ruoxuan, you can't turn your elbow out. Zhang You said with a smile.

"Mr. is a master in the literary world, and the age is enough for our grandfather, what's wrong with being an old man, but you...... I'm a helper, not a relative. Zhang Ruoxuan also smiled.

"Yes, yes, Ruoxuan is right, you have to respect Mr. in the future." Zhang Jialin interjected with a smile, attracting several echoes.

"Yes, I knew this was the case, and I didn't say anything to let you escort gifts into Beijing, good guy, you deserve to be a great talent, how long has it been, and you have rebelled against them, and you have paid them back after a long time?" Zhang You joked, and then looked serious: "Speaking seriously, Mr. came just in time, and the cannon arrived, right?" Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter. ”

Seeing that he was upright, Xu Wei also sat up straight, and said: "It arrived, and it was really expected by us, Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter, this is the blessing of our Ming Dynasty." ”

"Well," Zhang You bowed slightly, and said: "Strong military strength is the guarantee of stability and prosperity, from this point of view, our emperors of the Ming Dynasty have done well, but the children of the saints who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality in the court are far worse in comparison, if anyone dares to say anything strange about convincing people with virtue in front of me next time, I have to suggest that Your Majesty send him to Liaodong to persuade the barbarians to go." ”

"You are also happy and happy, think about those powerful forces that oppose the armament reform of Ling Zun and Yuan Jing, that is not one person or two people......"

"Don't let others be prestigious, destroy your own ambition, won't the construction of the sailor base also start? And Chongmingwei, didn't he also adopt a conscription system? Believe me, sooner or later, I will change those outdated concepts, unite as one, and create the glory of the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the future dynasty of all nations. ”

It is rare that Xu Wei did not raise the bar with Zhang You, in fact, if he didn't believe that he had Zhang You's ability, he wouldn't have gone out of the mountains to drown in this troubled water with him when he was old.

The next day, Zhang You did not rush into the palace, but estimated the time and stepped on the Donghua Gate to enter the next court.

I found a flat-bed carriage to pull the Hongyi cannon, covered with red cloth, all the way into the palace, attracting a lot of curious eyes, to the Qianqing Palace, there were already a lot of people gathered behind, from a distance to follow the point, but no one dared to come forward to inquire.

Zhang You didn't bother to pay attention to these people who were too curious to eat melons, and motioned for the carriage to wait at the Qianqing Gate, while he himself entered the door.

Not long after Zhu Yijun went down to the court, he heard that Zhang You had transported the Hongyi cannon into the palace, so he jumped off the kang and walked out of the warm pavilion in three steps and two steps.

"Be careful...... What are you anxious about, you're still clearing the door, and you can't run. Zhang You hurriedly followed, while instructing Cao Aijin: "Xiao Cao, go to someone, bring the carriage in, don't let Your Majesty run out all the way!" ”

Cao Aijin agreed and hurried away, and when he heard this, Zhu Yijun also slowed down, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said: "Let your kid see the joke, I'm really curious about that thing, and I've been waiting for it for a long time...... You are the director of the Gewu Institute, tell me, how is the craftsmanship of this cannon? How is it better than what we have made ourselves? ”

"The manufacturing process of this Hongyi cannon may not be more powerful than our artillery doped with wind steelmaking steel, in fact, compared to our own, it is actually slightly inferior, but our cost is too high, and it cannot be popularized on a large scale for the time being, what about Hongyi cannons, although they are a little rougher, they must be much simpler to manufacture, if our enemies configure this cannon in large quantities, the lethality is still very terrifying."

"Well, that's what worries me the most." Zhu Yijun frowned, he was a little anxious just now, his face was a little red, and he was still a little wheezing.

"Your Majesty, do you still practice Tai Chi? Your body is worse than the last time I left Beijing, and after only a few steps, I began to breathe. ”

Zhu Yijun didn't expect Zhang You to suddenly change the topic, smiled awkwardly, and said: "I also feel it, I have gained more than 20 pounds, and it is difficult to walk, it seems that I have to pick up Tai Chi again." ”

"Wine in moderation, too...... The lake taught Weichen a recipe for medicinal wine, and he forgot to tell you, wait for me to copy it to you, take it often, and it will have a miraculous effect. ”

"The recipe of the Lake Lady must be very magical, I must take it on time and in the right amount." Zhu Yijun nodded, and then said, "I heard that you entered the palace yesterday?" Concubine Ning is okay, right? ”

"It's okay, the medicine is still working, and the pulse phase is no longer a big problem."

"That's not to be taken lightly, that's your student, something went wrong, I'm asking for you."

"Don't worry, Weichen is in the heart...... Came, right in the carriage. It turned out that the two of them had already left the main hall while talking, and standing on His Majesty Dan, they could see that the carriage pulling the Hongyi cannon had already entered the Qianqing Gate and was rapidly approaching.

Zhu Yijun stopped talking, and watched from a distance, Cao Aijin next to him had already instructed the Han general: "Go to a few people, lift the cannon on the carriage, light, don't bump into it." ”

Several Han generals took the order, and after waiting for a while, they saw them carrying the Hongyi cannon, and slowly moved over with red faces and thick necks. Seeing this situation, several Great Khan generals rushed down to Danqi to help.

"Looks pretty heavy, how many pounds do you need?" Zhu Yijun asked.

"Two thousand one hundred and twenty catties, Weichen specially found someone to weigh it."

"So heavy?" Zhu Yijun's eyes widened, and then he said, "Then the carriage you used to pull it is strong enough, and is it also from the Ye's car?" ”

"I can't hide anything from Your Majesty, Weichen just thinks that those flowers beg all day long for a living, and it's okay to live in peace, in case of a natural disaster or man-made disaster, it is a hidden unstable factor, if you find a livelihood for them, it is convenient for the people, and feed them, piggyback, Weichen can still earn a little money......"

"Little money? I heard that business is good, not just a small amount of money, right? Zhu Yijun smiled brightly, but looking at it made Zhang You a little frightened.

"It's true that I haven't made much yet, after all, it hasn't been long since it started, and Wechen is thinking about reporting to you when he gets on the right track......

"The old rule, I want forty percent of the profit, so many horses, I can't let your kid get cheap for nothing." Zhu Yijun interrupted Zhang Youdao, laughing like a fox.

"What do you mean by taking advantage of nothing, those horses have all paid for money...... Okay, okay, I can't afford to mess with you, but you have to promise me one condition. ”

"Stinky boy, are you still bargaining with me? Tell me, what are the conditions? Zhu Yijun scolded in his mouth, but his curiosity was suspended.
