Zhou Shi devoured the food in front of him like a wolf, and the master followed behind to persuade him to eat slowly, and he couldn't stop it, and after swallowing the soup in three bites and two bites, he wiped his mouth: "Father, mother, I'm leaving!" ”

"Wait. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhou Quan was still drinking soup and said three words lightly.

Zhou Shi suddenly became honest, although he was still anxious, but he didn't dare to hurry away.

Several younger brothers were snickering quietly, and Zhou Shi glared at them.

Zhou Quan has a lot of children, in addition to the four sons who are over fifteen years old, there are also a few younger ones, every day when they eat, these small ones will accompany them, and those over fifteen years old, only Zhou Shi, who has Zhou Quan's preference, will be arrested to eat together.

Zhou Shi actually understands that this is because he has shown that he has no intention of taking the throne, so he will have this special situation, if he also has to serve in the military and hope to inherit the throne, then he will be sent back to eat by himself like his brother.

After a while, Zhou Quan stood up and beckoned to Zhou Shi, who honestly followed him to the study and stood respectfully.

"Your project is good, and I am going to award it to your project this year's Royal Practical Scholarship." Zhou Quan asked a few words about Zhou Shi's physical condition, especially whether he insisted on exercising, and after receiving a positive answer, he said with a smile.

"Ah...... Master Ni must be happy! Zhou Shi was only slightly happy when he heard this.

"Why, you're not surprised?"

"Joy is joy, surprise or not, from the beginning, I knew that the cable telegraph would definitely win the Royal Prize for Practical Learning." Zhou Shi said.

His research was the cable telegraph. Zhou Quan is well aware of the significance of this research, so he has given this research huge human and financial support, even much more than the support of airships. When it was first feasible, he invested heavily in the construction of cable telegraph lines from Yingtian to Canton to Fubo (Hanoi) to Mayuan (Malacca) and Wuhou (Yangon).

The news of the Tianzhu battle was able to quickly spread to the sky, and the 13th Army was able to get orders in time, and this is the reason. Although the cable telegraph network set up in sections is still very primitive, it took three days to transmit the news from Wuhou City to Yingtianfu, and it must go through dozens of transfers along the way, but it can still be regarded as fast compared to relying on ships and horses to deliver news.

Zhou Quan has always believed that in addition to the national strength of the empire, there are two other important points that determine the territory of an empire: first, whether the orders of the imperial center can be transmitted to the most remote and important towns within seven days; The second is whether the imperial army can be transported to the place where it happened within thirty days. Therefore, all inventions that can facilitate communication and transportation are always the objects of his priority support.

Unfortunately, his own knowledge of this area is limited, and apart from pointing out a general direction, he can't go into battle in person like a steam engine or a generator. Fortunately, decades of hard work have not been in vain, although Yu Tomson has passed away, Ni Pu is better than blue, as if he has the demeanor of a master.

In addition to Ni Pu, there are also a large number of scholars who have achieved success in learning and even made breakthroughs, which is something that Zhou Quan is very proud of. Even his son Zhou Shi showed extraordinary talent, which made Zhou Quan even happier.

"I am going to establish the Royal Grandmaster Academy, specially invite the master of Shixue to join, as the great master of Huaxia, Mr. Ni is the first batch of hires, you and Mr. Ni say it, don't refuse when the time comes, it will ruin the face of your father." Zhou Quan said again.

"Senior Brother False Name may not be willing to accept it." Zhou Shi said with a grin.

"Where is it just a false name, there is actual treatment, every great master of Huaxia has the equivalent of military marshal treatment!"

The so-called military marshal's treatment is that there are up to twenty exclusive guards and retinues. Now that China is developing rapidly, Zhou Quan estimates that within a decade, early cars may appear, and they will have to be equipped with special cars and drivers.

He has always felt that even a sesame-sized county order has guards and drivers, but a national treasure-level scientist does not have guards and drivers, which is really not what should happen in a country that really values talents.

"Really?" Zhou Shi's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Am I lying to you? Didn't you say last time, when Ni Pu went to the street, he almost hit someone on a bicycle, and if there were guards around him, this kind of thing could have been avoided. Zhou Quan said with a smile: "Now there are only twenty or thirty people who are qualified to enter the Grandmaster Academy, and there are only more than a thousand people to accompany them with guards. It's just that some people feel that these grandmasters have neither power nor money, so why should they enjoy it as much as they do! ”

Zhou Shi nodded again and again when he heard this, and seeing that there was no other command, he ran out of the study, but then turned back and said to Zhou Quan with a smile: "Father, father!" ”

Zhou Quan raised his eyes and looked at him: "What, something?" ”

"No, I now understand why they all say that you are the Emperor of the Ages." Zhou Shi said with a smile.

"Do you believe it?" Zhou Quan pretended to be impatient and waved his hand: "Go and get busy with you!" ”

Still, he was happy in his heart. This kind of sycophancy, of course, can't fool him when others say it, but when he says it from his son's mouth, he still makes him very useful.

What father can be free from the adoring gaze of his son?

Zhou Shi left very early, it was still morning, Zhou Quan read the newspaper, the newspaper is an important way for him to understand the situation in China, especially those business newspapers, and even the advertisements in them, he can see many interesting things.

His reading was soon interrupted, though.

A young man of about twenty-three or fourteen years old walked up to the door of his study with a solemn face and knocked lightly on the door.

"What's wrong?" Zhou Quan raised his eyes and asked.

"Marshal Ye asks to see."

Zhou Quan nodded, and after a while, Ye Chu was brought in front of him.

Ye Chu is the secretary of the Ministry of National Defense after the reorganization, that is, the original Ministry of Military Affairs, he was happy, and said to Zhou Quan with a smile: "Your Majesty, Wuhou City has sent a report from the Tianzhu Army, a great victory!" ”

"Hmm." Zhou Quan stared at him, if it was just a big victory at the front, Ye Chu would not come at this time, but should wait for him to go to the office.

"This is the battle report." Ye Chu handed him the piece of paper he was holding.

Zhou Quan read the battle report again, and his face was calm at first, but when he saw the back, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Really, the Wushu is dead?"

"Wei Min dares to report like this, it won't be fake, your lord, this henchman is finally dead!"

The battle report said that Zhou Yu personally took the risk and bombed the base camp of Wushu by airship, causing huge losses to the Jin State, and even the Emperor Wushu of the Jin State was blown up and died of serious injuries.

As Ye Chu said, this is a big deal, and Wei Min doesn't dare to lie. Zhou Quan breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile appeared on his face.

At first, he didn't take vultures to heart, but over the years, the troubles caused by vultures made Zhou Quan realize that this character, who he didn't look up to much at the beginning, was actually growing. Up to now, he has even grown into a huge problem, which has given Zhou Quan a headache for nearly ten years.

The goal of the Burning Expedition is actually to harass the vulture and prevent him from having enough time and energy to grow.

But as for what was said in the battle report, it was Zhou Yu who personally dropped a bomb to kill the vultures, but Zhou Quan was skeptical. He knows very well that everyone has selfish intentions, and Wei Min is no exception, he exaggerates Zhou Yu's credits, one is to please himself, and the other is to pat Zhou Yu's ass.

After all, Zhou Yu, the eldest son of the emperor, is most likely to inherit the throne, at least in the eyes of the ministers.

"The fact that Emperor Yu blew up and killed Wushu is absolutely true." Seeing Zhou Quan's thoughts, Ye Chu said in a low voice.

"That's ...... It's ridiculous. Zhou Quan couldn't help but stand up and look at the southwest behind him.

In the far southwest, in the capital of the Jin Kingdom, there is a gloomy cloud.

Fang Hao and Wu Jialiang both had earthy faces, kneeling in front of the coffin of the vulture.

During the bombing of the airship, Wushu was seriously injured and died soon after returning, but they were only slightly injured, not only did they not worry about their lives, but the impact was no less than the loss of their lives.

"Your Majesty, Hero I, has died so inexplicably...... Fang Hao said with a slight choked up.

Wu Jialiang also burst into tears, and at this time he regretted extremely much that he should not be dominated by ambition, so he gave up his big estate in Luzon and came to join the Jin Kingdom.

Wushu I is a hero, it can be said that he is eloquent and strategic, and he also has the capacity to accommodate people, so he can act as a prime minister under Wushu as a Han man, and he has great power, whether it is military strategy or political strategy, even if he is not obedient to his words, it can be regarded as giving him the opportunity to play his strengths, which is the master in Wu Jialiang's mind.

And because Zhou Quan doesn't reuse him, in Wu Jialiang's heart, Wushu is even more Mingjun than Zhou Quan.

But now, he has lost this Mingjun.

"Now is not the time to cry, although Your Majesty is dead, the Kingdom of Jin cannot be destroyed...... Brother Fang Xian, what are your plans? ”

"Intended?" Hearing Wu Jialiang's words, Fang Hao was taken aback.

He looked at Wu Jialiang, Wu Jialiang nodded slightly, and Fang Hao suddenly understood that his guess was good.

"Prince ......"

"Your Majesty has a total of six sons, among which the eldest king is the longest, and I think he can be the king." Wu Jialiang said in a low voice.

"The three kings are the most virtuous, I think he is more suitable." Fang Hao said immediately.

Wu Jialiang wanted to support the eldest son of Wushu on the grounds of his age, but in fact, it was just a temptation, and he, like Fang Hao, was more inclined to the third son of Wushu. Because the three sons are the deepest sinicized, they are also the most supportive.

If the three kings ascend the throne, the status of the two of them will be guaranteed.

"Then the three kings, he is indeed a wise king, the country cannot be left without an owner for a day, without further ado, we ......"

Before Wu Jialiang's words were finished, a voice suddenly sounded outside: "You don't have to worry about it, the emperor of my Dajin Empire is naturally decided by my Wanyan clan." ”

With these words, a dragon-shaped tiger walked in, and the four heads were also thrown to the ground as he entered, Fang Hao and Wu Jialiang changed color in shock, these four heads were the four eldest sons of Wushu!
