"Do you want me to take someone to learn from foreigners how to make muskets, artillery, and ships?" Ye Shaolong exclaimed, his face full of incredulity. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"What? Why does Lord Ye need to be so surprised? The sixth prince was slightly stunned.

Ye Shaolong calmed down for a moment, and then hesitated: "Rong Ye said something disrespectful, what is the emperor going to do?" Why did you suddenly remember to go to a foreigner to learn these things? ”

Although Ye Shaolong was surprised that the little emperor would make such a decision, it was too late to think of implementing it now. Besides, this foreigner is not a fool, and it is not a matter of words to learn if he wants to.

The sixth prince seemed to understand what Ye Shaolong was thinking, and the smile on his face gradually faded, and then he sighed and said, "Maybe it's too late as you said, but it's better than doing nothing." The emperor also knows that it will not be easy to accomplish this. After thinking twice, I asked you to do something. ”

A wry smile quietly crept up his cheeks, Ye Shaolong felt quite helpless in his heart, what is this? The little emperor obviously didn't know the real situation.

The sixth prince, who has a lot of contact with foreigners, should understand the difficulties, why did he agree with the little emperor to do this?

"Lord Wang, don't you know that it is impossible to learn these things from foreigners, not to exaggerate?" Ye Shaolong tilted his head and squinted.

"I knew it was impossible to find you! With your Ye family's connections over the years, this king believes that you definitely have a way. Don't be humble at this point, but don't live up to the emperor's high expectations for you. ”

"it grandma's high hopes."

Ye Shaolong wanted to open his mouth to scold, the sixth prince and the little emperor were obviously embarrassing him. If he has these skills himself, if a foreigner wants to learn them, he will not give them to others.

Besides, the problems with these technologies are very high-stake, and it doesn't mean that you can build those things by learning a little technology. If he really talks about technology, it means that the things in his head have to throw off those foreigners for a few streets.

But are these useful? If you have technology and ideas, you must have that foundation, and the leap forward in industry needs to be accumulated. Without the foundation, you just put a blueprint of an airplane in the hands of the craftsmen to tinker with.

Even if they could build it, they wouldn't be able to fly, would they? Not to mention that with such a backward foundation as the Qing Dynasty, it may not be possible to build an airplane.

Muskets and artillery are better to say, but the steamship thing is now in the Qing Dynasty, don't want to get involved. Maybe it's still possible to get a simple steam engine?

"Steam engine!"

Ye Shaolong suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he had a plan in his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, he reluctantly said, "That's it!" What the prince said, let me think about it for three days, and after three days, Ye Mou will give a reply to the prince. ”

Although he didn't immediately ask Ye Shaolong to agree, the six princes were not worth the trip. It's only three days, even if Ye Shaolong says that he will wait for a month, he has to agree.

Actually, this matter was originally going to be handed over to him by the little emperor, after all, it was his imperial uncle, and the sixth prince had always been doing these things for a living.

In addition to Dorha's share, almost all of the foreign gadgets in the Great Qing Kingdom were monopolized by him. It is precisely because of this that the sixth prince knows that this matter is not easy to do.

As Ye Shaolong said, it is almost impossible. In desperation, he remembered Ye Shaolong, who had recently been in the limelight in the capital.

Unexpectedly, after a check, I really found that the Ye family was a businessman, and it was also the most powerful merchant in the provincial capital. After finding out this, the sixth prince was very excited, and he wanted to talk to Ye Shaolong for the first time, but learned that he was sent to the provincial capital.

He didn't think much about it, and immediately sent someone to inform the sixth sister of Piaoxianglou, and he also rushed over overnight.

"Okay, then we can make up our minds, and in three days, this king will wait for the good news of Lord Ye." The sixth prince had a smile on his face.

"Definitely, definitely." Ye Shaolong no longer shirked, and accepted it with a full mouth.

After the business was over, the sixth prince did not stay long, and left with a good mood. Ye Shaolong pretended to hold on for a while, and then personally sent it to the outside of the mansion.

It wasn't until the carriage of the sixth prince disappeared from sight that Ye Shaolong turned around and entered the mansion. has always been looking forward to it, but what he is waiting for is such a troublesome thing, not to mention how unlucky Ye Shaolong is in his heart.

With a black face, he hurried to the main hall, and those who met him along the way carefully avoided him. Ye Shaolong has never been angry like this, and the people in the house don't dare to touch such a moldy head.

As soon as Ye Shaolong arrived in the main hall, Tang Feifei followed closely behind him, seeing Ye Shaolong with a black face sullen, Tang Feifei asked curiously: "I heard that the sixth prince is here just now, are you unhappy talking to him?" ”

Seeing Ye Shaolong's angry look, Tang Feifei also became gentle. has the demeanor of a good wife, she originally wanted to find Ye Shaolong to go to Tang Feifei to have a look, but now it seems that it is not good for her to speak again.

Ye Shaolong was obviously interrupted by Tang Feifei's interruption, and he simply didn't think about those troublesome things anymore. The emperor wants to do this by himself, in fact, it is not difficult for him, with the memory of the future generations, what kind of technology does he have.

The key is how to make it, and that's the hard part. Muskets and artillery are better said, just get the technology of refining steel. However, the steamship was difficult, and he could buy it if he couldn't build a steam engine, but he couldn't buy this steel steamer.

"Alas, I knew that I wouldn't see any six princes in this way. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Didn't you want me to accompany you to the Tang Mansion to have a look? Let's go! Ye Shaolong shook his head, turned around and asked the housekeeper to prepare the carriage.

"You wait for me, I'll call Sister Xiaocao now." Tang Feifei unexpectedly waited for the news that Ye Shaolong was going to the Tang Mansion, and was so happy that she flew away like a bird.

Ye Shaolong shook his head with a wry smile, and walked outside the mansion first, and by the way, he asked someone to inform the iron tower. I went to see the Ye Mansion yesterday, and it should also be renovated there, and it is not convenient to live in the mansion all the time.

Soon after, the group got into the carriage, and the iron tower rode a horse outside, followed by eight guards, and went towards the Tang Mansion in a mighty manner.

Not long after the carriage left, a small guy flashed out at the corner opposite the street outside the palace, looking at the direction in which Ye Shaolong and the others left, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Then the little guy hung unhurriedly dozens of meters away from the convoy, following the carriage all the way, and only after seeing Ye Shaolong and them enter the Tang Mansion did he turn around and disappear into the bustling pedestrians.

And Ye Shaolong didn't notice all this, left the guards outside, and entered the Tang Mansion with only the iron tower and the two girls.
