In an era when only reading is high, a craftsman with good craftsmanship has such a status. Even if it is Zhengde, it is just to see how well he makes guns and gives him some silver rewards, if you talk about how to take him seriously, you can't talk about it. Only Yang Chengzu knew in his heart that the foreigner in front of him was indeed a priceless treasure in the true sense, and no matter what, he could not be disposed of. On the contrary, he was to be brought into the South Town Fusi and given a position, but his value was not in the manufacture of ordnance.

Even if Ru Zhengde is still focusing on Ryan Stein's ordnance skills, but in Yang Chengzu's view, the other party's foreign identity and mercenary experience are the really valuable part. Whether it is training the new army, developing the government, or even cultivating power, in the end, it is inseparable from money. Daming wants money, but in the end, he still has to settle overseas.

Yang Chengzu is not a nationalist, and he has never thought about colonizing Southeast Asia, doing business with the Portuguese and Spaniards, and it is the right way for everyone to get rich together. But before that, it must be fought a few times, so that the other party understands that Da Ming is not something that can be bullied, so that he can sit down and talk about trade.

Talking about business requires translation, and in the entire brocade system, it is not easy to find a few proficient in Fanyu. As for Yang Chengzu's own English...... In this era, this language has no meaning at all, whether it is the Ming people or the Yi people of this era, they can't understand it, and it can be ignored. Ryan Stein's Yi language is just the right time to teach Jinyi, which will be used as a translator in the future.

As for the experience of a mercenary, he can teach Western drills to the officers and soldiers, which is far more useful than any foreign guns. But these are all later words, and at present, his identity is still a craftsman, which is easier to cover. Ryan Stein learned that he could continue to go to Nanzhen Fusi to teach as a military craftsman, and he didn't have any opinions, this person's thinking was also very simple, as long as he could stay in the treasure land of Daming, there would be food and drink, and it didn't matter what he did.

As the internal discipline supervision agency within the Jinyi Guard, in addition to undertaking the work of the gendarmerie, the ordnance manufacturing of the entire guard, together with horse breeding and elephant training, was all under the responsibility of the Nanzhen Fusi. Yang Chengzu arranged a craftsman at the Ordnance Bureau, which was a matter of one sentence, but there was no resistance.

Yang Chengzu found a lovely-looking woman from the troupe and gave Ryan Stein his wife. These women can enter the theater troupe, and their appearance is not bad, and they don't know how high they are compared to Ryanstein's good prostitutes, and they promise him that as long as the equipment is made well, they will give him a commission. Reinstein is naturally grateful to Dade, and almost regards Yang Chengzu as the incarnation of God, and he is extremely serious in his work.

On the emperor's side, he asked twice about Liu Liangnu's whereabouts, but Yang Chengzu used the excuse that he was investigating, and he perfunctory it. Jiajing didn't embarrass him, nor did he propose a time limit to take people, in fact, the emperor asked twice, and he had already explained the degree of attention, so there was no need to pursue it again.

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to summer, and in Anlu City, in the palace of Princess Changshou, several palace maids are cleaning the courtyard and wiping the furniture, for fear that if the cleaning is not in place, it will cause a family law. The original Xingxian Wang Shizi became Emperor Jiajing, and Changshou was promoted from the county lord to the eldest princess of Changshou, but the princess of Daming is not worth much, and she does not take power, and the eldest princess is just a little more famous.

However, for the people in the house, due to the improvement of status, the rules are stricter than in the past. Luo Po is a strict housekeeper, and the princess's temper is getting bigger and bigger, and all the subordinates who make trouble are all cautious, and they can't even wait to stand on their toes when they walk.

In the room, Changshou lay on the bed weakly, looking at his bulging belly with a bitter face. "I knew that I wouldn't have a child if I was killed, I was ugly, my hands and feet were swollen and my face was swollen, and I had to take a break if I couldn't walk a few steps, and when I gave birth to the child, I would definitely become an ugly old woman, and he was afraid that he would never come to see me again. And he too, why didn't he come back early or late, and he came back at this time, did he come to see my jokes on purpose? Luo Po, you tell the head of the door, when he comes, don't let him in, otherwise you will have to eat the family law! ”

Luo Po smiled and didn't speak, but Ruxian laughed, "My eldest princess, you just say this in this room." Let's not talk about the subordinates below, do you really dare to stop him, even if you really stop him, and he doesn't come in when he turns around, those who block the car can still die? A woman who is about to give birth has a big temper, but you should also save your energy and focus on giving birth. You see, on a hot day, don't I also stuff a pillow in my stomach to accompany you? ”

The two of them have been together for a few months, although there are often quarrels, but that is also a means to relieve boredom, and the real relationship is like sisters. Changshou looked at her hatefully

"You can be angry with me, and when you are angry with me, you will be satisfied. I look like a ghost now, and I'm annoyed to see it, and if he sees it, I'm afraid he won't miss me anymore. Tell me, when he entered Beijing this time, did he have a lot of women around him? ”

"Then maybe, who can we do to live with him, maybe he has already received ten rooms and eight rooms in Jingshi now. I heard that there is a teaching workshop in Jingshi, and there are countless beauties in it, is he still open? You have to wait until you get better before you can control him from messing around. So you, give me a good body, give birth to the child, and then go and clean him up. ”

The two were talking, but they heard a girl's voice outside, "Clean up?" Who's going to clean up. My little nephew was born or not, I want to play with him, can I do it? ”

As soon as Changshou heard this, he knew who was coming, "Luo Po, let Ermu come in." Really, I look like a child who hasn't grown up, and I want to play with my son, I really have her. I really don't know what it's like to wait for two years for her to become a mother. ”

Changchun has become a princess now, and the momentum of going out of the mansion is too big, plus the longevity and pregnancy are hidden from Concubine Jiang, and it is not easy for the sisters to meet. This time, she calculated that her sister's day of giving birth was approaching, so she couldn't care about that much, so she found an excuse to change the eunuch's clothes and sneak out. When she saw her sister's appearance, she was taken aback, "Sister, why did you become like this, it's so scary." ”

"Hmph, look at it, even my sister annoys me. If that bad thing comes, I guess I just look at it and don't want to see me a second time. ”

The more Zhu Xiuchang said that her temper grew, and tears flowed out, Ruxian had no choice but to step forward to comfort her, and then sat down with Changchun.

"Don't pay attention to your sister, she just wants to inherit the madness that her brother thinks. That person is really, he has been gone for a few months, and now he says he is coming back, and he is nowhere to be seen. The two girls who knew books and paintings went to find out the news, but they didn't see anyone, so they really didn't know what to do. ”

Footsteps sounded at the stairs, and before Luo Po could react, Zhu Xiuchang had already grabbed the quilt and quickly wrapped it around her head, "It's him, it must be him, don't let him see me, hurry, go close the door and stop him." ”

"It's too late." In the laughter, Yang Chengzu had already broken in one step, picked up Ruxian who flew into his arms, and kissed her on the forehead and face a few times, only to find that Changchun was also there. When Changchun saw him come in, he seemed to be a little excited, and when he took two steps forward, he saw such a scene. As if he was going to throw himself into his arms, he found that something was wrong, his face was red with shame, and he was neither advancing nor retreating.

Yang Chengzu gave her a salute in time, which was regarded as relieving the embarrassing atmosphere, and then came to the bedside, grabbed Zhu Xiuchang's hand and said: "I said that when you give birth, I will rush back and be by your side to witness the birth of our flesh and blood." I will do what I promised you, you see, I'm not coming back. ”

The two hands were clasped together, Zhu Xiuchang didn't say anything, only stuck her head into Yang Chengzu's arms, and couldn't cry. At this moment, she suddenly felt that the sins she had suffered and the hardships she had endured were so worthwhile, and the only thought in her heart was to give birth to the child as a testimony of this relationship and the continuation of her life.
