In August, the weather gradually cooled down, and the cold air from Siberia began to tentatively move southward to Beijing, but at this time, the South Pacific Ocean was not yet old enough to transport water vapor. The cold and warm air currents are in a strategic confrontation near the Bohai Sea. However, the two sides are only tentative, the scale is not large, and there is not much water vapor to fall in the Jingshi, which is the season for outings in autumn.

Zhu Youzhen is rarely idle, deviating from the busy inertia of #life, but he doesn't know what to do. If it was in the afterlife, he would definitely find an opportunity to meet three or five comrades, carry a fishing basket and fishing gear, and go to an unknown pond to relax all afternoon. However, this wish is now unattainable.

It's been almost half a year since I came to Daming, probably because of the identity of King Xin, and I still don't have a friend, let alone a confidante and a confidant. Wan'er is the only one who can let go in front of herself, but when it comes to friends, she is still far behind. But when it comes to intimacy, Wan'er is indeed better than the royal brother and sister-in-law, and in Wan'er's heart, she is her heaven.

"Wan'er, I'm okay today, why don't we go for a walk in the afternoon?"

"Your Highness really doesn't have to be busy today?" Wan'er's eyes widened, almost catching up with Lin Xinru in "Huanzhu Gege", her little head was tilted against her neck, and her eyes flashed with excitement. Immediately, this kind of light disappeared very unwillingly: "Wan'er has never been out of the palace, how does Wan'er know where there is fun?" ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled: "Then tell me where you want to go and what you want to do." ”

Wan'er's eyes wandered for a while, but she still didn't choose: "Otherwise, Your Highness has decided where to go." Your Highness can go there if you want. ”

"Wherever I want? I heard that Bada Hutong is very lively, and you can buy anything, so where can we go? "The current Xidan and Wangfujing streets have not yet been finalized, the Great Wall is the military demarcation line, and the Forbidden City is my former home, so there seems to be nothing fun. Zhu Youzhen smiled wickedly, he felt that when Wan'er was shy, a peach would fly up to her face and spread rapidly, with her soft, delicate, white and blue skin, it was even more tempting than the fairy peach in "Journey to the West".

"Your Highness." Wan'er really hit the trick, snorted lightly, and a fairy rose leisurely, with a white glance at Zhu Youzhen, and her small mouth was also pouted, as if she couldn't wait for Zhu Youzhen's violation. It's no wonder Wan'er is angry, Bada Hutong is a famous place for fireworks in Beijing, how can Wan'er go to that kind of place? If you really want to take Wan'er out for a walk, go shopping in the mall, go to the wilderness, even if you don't do anything, it's good to just go shopping on the street.

Zhu Youzhen had no choice but to smile ambiguously: "Wan'er, I don't know where to have fun, I'm similar to you, and I've never been out of Jingshi!" ”

"You can't go to that kind of place! Isn't it ...... at home" Wan'er's face was even more beautiful, and she could already compete with the sunrise.

"Oh, too. Since there's nothing fun outside, it's better to just stroll around at home......" Zhu Youzhen was about to see if Wan'er was against doing things at night during the day.

Xu Yingyuan appeared very inopportunely and interrupted his good deeds: "Your Highness, someone from the Ministry of Industry is here." ”

"Ministry of Works? What can the Ministry of Industry do? Could it be that the cement road survey is over, and the construction will begin? Zhu Youzhen was a little unhappy, it was rare to have a happy weekend, and he was disturbed by this unobtrusive Ministry of Works.

The climate is quite pleasant, the scene is quite warm, and the harvest season is approaching, which is a good time for man-making. I have already reversed the jet lag, adjusted my state, taken off my clothes, sharpened my knife and gun, but I was ready to send it.

It seems that she has been having sex with Wan'er for almost half a year, and Wan'er still hasn't moved at all, in case she goes unexpectedly one day, it's not easy to be a prince for a while, and there is nothing left to remember. Even if there is no accident, if you get sick or injured in your life, Daming's medicine is too backward, and no one knows what will happen. It seems that the real Zhu Youzhen just fell from the horse, and his soul went out of his body, allowing himself to occupy his physical body.

"Your Highness, the Ministry of Industry sent someone to bring official credentials to Your Highness." Xu Yingyuan was still unhurried, and he didn't feel indebted at all to disturbing Zhu Youzhen's plan to create a person.

"Official? What official credentials? "Zhu Youzhen is puzzled, is it the letter of appointment of the Ming Dynasty? What can the Ministry of Industry entrust itself to do?

"Your Highness, the Ministry of Industry has appointed His Highness as the head of the Firearms Bureau." Xu Yingyuan found that Zhu Youzhen was a little distracted, and he raised his voice.

"Director of the Firearms Bureau?" Zhu Youzhen finally understood that Li Chunye's efficiency was really fast, and in just a few days, he fulfilled his promise. "However, the Firearms Bureau is a firearms manufacturer, isn't it under the head of the Ministry of War? How is a letter of appointment from the Ministry of Works? ”

"Your Highness, although the Firearms Bureau manufactures firearms, all the manufacturing bureaus of the Ming Dynasty are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry." Xu Yingyuan knew that Zhu Youzhen was young, and it was normal for him to not understand some things, otherwise, what was the use of being a housekeeper himself?

"Oh, I see. Let's go, Ying Yuan, let's go meet the people from the Ministry of Works. Zhu Youzhen was about to turn around and go back to the main hall, but found Wan'er still standing beside him, "That, Wan'er, I'm so busy." I can't go shopping with you today. ”

"I know that His Highness is a duplicitous person." Wan'er stomped her foot, turned around and ran out first, leaving Zhu Youzhen and Xu Yingyuan aside in a daze.

Now that he has officially taken over the Firearms Bureau, Zhu Youzhen has to reintegrate personnel and institutions. He wrote and drew on paper, and it took him more than half an afternoon to finally get the idea of the new firearms bureau. There is no way, there is no hard pen now, and the brush is really not handy.

The next morning, Zhu Youzhen took Wang Mujiu to the Firearms Bureau.

Liu Yifei, the former director of the Firearms Bureau, had been waiting outside the gate for a long time. Seeing Zhu Youzhen and Xu Yingyuan coming on horseback from afar, he knelt on the ground, as if his home had been raided: "Your Highness, your subordinates have registered all kinds of firearms produced by the Firearms Bureau, and all kinds of craftsmen are also registered separately, and the account books are all here. According to the instructions of the Ministry of Industry, wait for the handover at any time. Liu Yifei's eyes dodged, he didn't know what he was wrong, if you want to talk about age, he is only in his early forties, far from the time of Zhishi. He didn't know where his future would be, he had worked in the Firearms Bureau for 20 years, and now he was suddenly leaving, and he was really a little reluctant.

"The handover is delayed in advance." Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, made Liu Yifei get up, and stopped his next move, "Director Liu, let's go in first and talk about it." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Liu Yifei stood up without even slapping the dust on his knees. He led the way in front and led Zhu Youzhen into the hall of the Firearms Bureau.

Zhu Youzhen did not have the slightest politeness, he is now the director of the Firearms Bureau, and he is the real number one, and Liu Yifei's identity is still unclear. "Director Liu has been in charge of the Firearms Bureau for many years, and he knows Daming's firearms well, let me ask a question, how are Daming's firearms?"

"Back to Your Highness, Daming's firearms are invincible in the world." Liu Yifei has been in charge of the Firearms Bureau for many years, and he is still quite confident in what he produces.

"If Daming's firearms can be invincible in the world, then what do you need bows, crossbows, knives and guns for?" Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly, he wanted to teach the former head of the Firearms Bureau a lesson first.

"Your Highness, although firearms are powerful, they can only be used as auxiliary forces in war, and firearms cannot complete the war independently." Liu Yifei was very unconvinced, Zhu Youzhen's identity was noble, but when it came to firearms, he dared to show off in front of himself, which was like playing an axe in front of Lu Ban, dancing a knife in front of Guan Gong, preaching in front of Zhong Ni, and discussing scriptures in front of the Buddha.

"Yes, it is true that the firearms of the Ming Dynasty cannot be used independently on the battlefield now, and can only be used as auxiliary equipment for bows, crossbows, knives and guns. However, there are two points in your mind that need to be corrected. "Zhu Youzhen will never be ambiguous in the face of science, even in the face of Li Chunye, the secretary of the Ministry of War." First, at the beginning of the establishment of the Daming Firearms Bureau, it was indeed invincible in the world, but now it is lagging behind Xiyi. For example, the Hongyi cannon, Daming can't even imitate it, but the Hongyi cannon is not the best cannon in Xiyi, and no one will sell their best firearms to the outside world; Second, firearms can completely replace bows, crossbows, knives and guns and form an independent army, but not now. "For the complete replacement of cold weapons with firearms, Zhu Youzhen really can't give examples, and the examples are all in the future.

Liu Yifei didn't know Xiyi, but the Hongyi cannon was too famous in Daming, so it was impossible for him not to know. In fact, he once copied the Hongyi cannon in the Firearms Bureau, but did not have the steel to make the barrel, so he had to give up.

For so many years, he had always thought that Daming's firearms were invincible in the world, and now it seems that he has completely ignored the Hongyi cannon. Just like a woman, she always thinks that her children are the best, even if other excellent children are around, they are often ignored.

Zhu Youzhen's words woke him up in a dream, he didn't know whether firearms would be able to become an independent army in the future, and he realized from Zhu Youzhen's understanding of firearms and the bits and pieces of his previous work in the Firearms Bureau, that the Firearms Bureau would surely shine with new brilliance under Zhu Youzhen's management.

Thinking of this, the contempt and hatred for Zhu Youzhen in his heart gradually faded, and his eyes glowed with yearning. But when he thought about it, he was going to leave the Firearms Bureau soon, and the development of firearms no longer had the slightest relationship with him, and the look in his eyes gradually dimmed.

Zhu Youzhen saw that Liu Yifei was no longer speechless, and knew that he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, "Where will Director Liu go in the future?" ”

Liu Yifei's thinking gradually returned to calm, and Zhu Youzhen's question aroused his loss again, but in front of King Xin, he didn't dare to give a face: "The Ministry of Industry only said that there was another appointment, and I don't know where to go now." ”

"Director Liu, are you willing to leave the Firearms Bureau?" This was something that Zhu Youzhen had thought about yesterday, and he was now too busy to stay in the Firearms Bureau for a long time. Through previous contact with Liu Yifei, it was found that Liu Yifei was still a good supervisor, and he still strongly supported the research and development of firearms, but he didn't know that there was Xiyi in addition to the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't have the vision of future generations.

"I don't want to...... What can it be? Liu Yifei's eyes betrayed him, and he made no secret of his disappointment and loss. Zhu Youzhen was born, so that without any fault, he will leave the Firearms Bureau, which has worked for 20 years and controlled for nearly 10 years, without any fault. His departure was purely to make room for Zhu Youzhen.

"Is Director Liu willing to submit to the deputy director of the Firearms Bureau?" Zhu Youzhen threw out a bomb coldly and hit Liu Yifei's heart hard.
