Don't look at the fact that it has been less than a month since he entered Beijing, but Yang Chengzu, as a prominent official and a favored minister of the Son of Heaven, cannot be measured by normal standards for the development of his family business. The Yang family now actually has to be regarded as a big family, with many slaves and guards in the family, keeping family slaves, and buying land, it can be said that it has initially gained some wealthy momentum.

When people mention Jinyiwei, they always think that they are all masters of flying eaves and walls, but in fact, as long as silver, it is enough to buy everything that needs to be known from the mouths of those servants who are not strict enough. When Liu Liangnu entered the mansion, she was relatively secretive, and the people who knew about it were very limited.

Among these insiders, who can be trusted, who is unstable, and who must disappear, that is the question that the head of the family needs to consider.

Fortunately, Hao Qingqing is an expert in doing this, and she has even thought about finding someone who looks similar to Liu Liangnu to kill her, and then pushing the dead body into the water, faking a fake scene of falling into the water and dying. However, considering the possibility of self-defeating, Yang Chengzu still stopped her. After asking where the Yi man was, he arranged for someone to prepare food and drink, and prepared to come into contact with this priceless treasure.

In fact, he doesn't think that ordnance or so-called technology is so important, unlike the protagonists in the novels he saw in his previous life, Yang Chengzu doesn't think that if he engages in firearms or ordnance, he can really change his life against the sky and be invincible in the world. Besides, he doesn't think he can really achieve the generation gap in weapons.

There is no foundation, everything is nonsense, take the high gunpowder as an example, Yang Chengzu himself can't figure out how the gunpowder used in the Ming Dynasty now becomes the gunpowder of later generations, and then he expects to kill a few craftsmen to achieve it, how to think about it and how unreliable.

With the current level of science and technology of the Ming Dynasty, the arquebus is already the limit that can be achieved, as for the flintlock pistol, Yang Chengzu has seen that thing in the movie at most, and it is completely unclear how to do it. The kind of craftsman who can make a finished product by giving him an idea, he has never seen it, and he doesn't think that he is so lucky, and he can meet one here.

As for how invincible the troops equipped with arquebuses must be, if this is the case, then it is King Ning and not Jiajing who are now sitting on the dragon chair of the Jingshi. Under the current level of science and technology, war is, after all, a war between one person and another, and in the end, it is a white-knives confrontation and close combat.

Although the musket guns of the Ming army had many drawbacks, they were still much more advanced than the Mongolian cavalry, but this did not guarantee that the Ming army would win a hundred battles. At the end of the day, it's not a device problem, it's a human problem.

The role of technology is to strengthen the armed forces, and it is still the icing on the cake, and if we rely too much on science and technology, we will go down the wrong path. However, this craftsman can be the chief teacher as a Yiren, and it seems that he has a few brushes, so it is a good thing for him to work for Jiajing.

Yang Ting and these literati, in fact, there is nothing wrong with their thinking, they are also understanding people, and they know that they can't pin the hopes of the army on equipment. In addition, this is a Yi person, and his heart must be different if he is not of my race, and he is close to Jiang Bin, so he has already given face if he doesn't kill him. It is precisely based on this cognition that this talent will be pushed to Yang Chengzu.

In the guest room, a big man with a height of more than two meters and a round waist looked around a little crampedly. Unlike the imaginary blonde and blue-eyed, this man has dark hair and dark brown eyes, and is tall and strong, muscular, and in short, it looks like a reckless man, and it is difficult to associate him with a craftsman.

However, this big man seems to have a bad time recently, and his face is quite bad, and when he saw Yang Chengzu coming in, this person hurriedly got up and saluted, and greeted him in fluent Daming official dialect:

"Your Excellency, your faithful servant, Ryan Stein, stands ready to serve you. Whatever your needs, Ryan Stein can always do it for you, and all you need to pay is a paltry commission to get all the loyalty of a good mercenary. I swear in the name of my grandfather that you will not find a mercenary in the entire Iberian Peninsula who can match me, and I am the best. Oh, I beg your pardon for my rudeness, but I still want to ask, can you provide a little food, just a little ...... A little bit is good. ”

"These drinks and dishes are prepared for you, if not enough, there is." Yang Chengzu took out the wine jug from the food box, and took out eight stir-fried vegetables and filled the table. When Reinstein saw the wine and meat, his eyes lit up

"May the Lord praise you, my merciful Excellency, for your generosity and kindness, which will surely bring you good luck. Oh my God, it's so delicious, even when I was in the palace of His Majesty the Great Emperor, I never had a delicacy like this, it really is...... I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to answer my question for a while because my mouth will be full of food and it will be difficult to make a sound. ”

Seeing that he was like a storm sweeping through those foods, Yang Chengzu smiled secretly in his heart, what he said was not a compliment, in addition to the separation of pots and stoves in the current Ming Dynasty, most of the kitchens are still integrated with pots and stoves, and there is no way to do stir-fried dishes. is to talk about taste, even if it is the imperial palace meal, it may not be comparable to the food in his house.

But even if it tastes good, the way Reinstein eats it only proves that he has been hungry for a long time. It is said that the Son of Heaven is not thin on craftsmen, and he has great achievements in making weapons, and there will be many rewards. Even if there is no future, it will not be like this.

After figuring out Yang Chengzu's question, Ryanstein behaved very normally, "Dear Excellency, I must explain one thing, I am an excellent mercenary, and my deeds can be said for three days and three nights." Whether it was the robbers who roamed the seas or the fierce and savage Moorish soldiers, they were all beaten to the ground by me. The firecracker I made was personally rewarded by the Great Emperor, who even wanted to confer on me the title of notoriety. It's a pity that this great emperor was not favored by the gods and passed away prematurely. They then executed poor Alessandro and banished the captain. And I, forever, stayed in this land of milk and honey to continue my great adventure. ”

Stripped of the boastful elements, we can still learn some useful information from his words. For example, the fire man Yasan, in the official caliber, said that he was a Chinese in Nanyang, or a self-emasculated nameless white. acted as an interpreter for foreigners, and then participated in Jiang Bin's rebellion, and finally lost his head.

However, at Reinstein's place, Yang Chengzu heard another version of the statement, that Yasan the Fire Man was not ignorant, and he was not even Chinese, but a Venetian named Alessandro 61 George.

He traveled long distances to China with Captain Pires, and after meeting the Son of Heaven, he stayed with the Son of Heaven because he was valued by Zhengde, explaining Western culture to him, and also improving the armaments of the Ming Dynasty.

According to Zhengde's concept, the future of the Ming Dynasty will also undergo some changes, and the fire man Yasan and his subordinates will be the advisers of the new army. However, as foreigners, they were born unable to get along with the local officials of the Ming Dynasty, such as the fact that they were awarded official positions without going through military elections or imperial examinations, and they have the style of reopening the precedent of serving officials, and this alone is enough to nail them to the gallows.

The cause of death of the fire man Yasan can only be said to be the burden of eating Jiang Bin, Yang Tinghe wants to clean up the Jiang party, and anyone who gets close to Jiang Bin will not end well. Ryan Stein was not executed because of his low status, but was driven out of the Ordnance Bureau, allowing him to leave Daming with Pires and return to his homeland.

But in this era, Jingshi has to be regarded as the world's largest city, and Ryanstein, who is used to living in this place, doesn't want to go back to the fishy ship with Pires at all, so he stays in Jingshi privately and becomes a black household.

In these years, foreigners belong to a discriminated group in Daming, and shops and workshops will only hire local craftsmen with shop protection, not a foreigner. Martial arts master of the nursing home, no one would hire such a person, if he hadn't met Liu Liangnu, he might really starve to death on the streets. It was because he met a generous benefactor that made Reinstein feel like he saw the light in hell and expressed his willingness to break his bones for the new master.
