Chapter 54: The Family Feast
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister knows the flintlock pistol, and the minister has seen the Franky people use it when he was in Macau. It is much more advanced than our Ming shotgun, and it cannot be compared with either shรจ speed or shรจ cheng. Xu Guangqi didn't expect that the Emperor of the Apocalypse also had an understanding of firearms, so he would definitely get twice the result with half the effort when he started to do things in the future.
"Xu Aiqing, when the firearms factory is established, you will make this flintlock pistol for me, not only to learn the things of the Francis, but also to improve them, and strive to make better guns." The Emperor of the Apocalypse, the children of the Eight Banners, still knew that at this time, the Ming army was weak, and it was tantamount to an idiot's dream to defeat the Eight Banners of Houjin with a sword. But if an army can be built in the modern sense, it will be a different matter.
"Obey." Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse seemed to interfere a little too much, Xu Guangqi could understand the anxiety in the heart of the Emperor Guangqi, why didn't he taste it? After a slight pause, he added, "Your Majesty, there are a lot of things needed to make firearms, and most of them are things that are forbidden to be sold by the people in the imperial court. If His Majesty wants to make it quietly, what about these things? โ
"There will never be a shortage of bold people in this world, Aiqing may not know how many people in the southeast have opened mines privately, and the imperial court does not have as much salt and iron as them every year. They sold a lot of salt and iron to the grasslands, and these people were very bold, so they just bought some. "At this time, the tone of the Emperor of the Apocalypse is very casual, and many people know these things, maybe everyone in the world is hiding from the emperor alone!
Sure enough, hearing Emperor Apocalypse say this, Luo Sigong and Wei Chao's faces changed, and they looked at each other with a look of horror in each other's eyes. At this time, they realized that the Emperor of the Apocalypse in front of them really knew everything, and they were a little more afraid of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
"Grandpa Wei, I'll leave this matter to you! I think about the ability of the East Factory, there is nothing wrong with such a thing, and it must be unaware. The Emperor of the Apocalypse set his eyes on the Wei Dynasty behind him, and this kind of private work was obviously the most suitable for him.
"The slave wrote it down, since His Majesty said that there is no problem, then naturally there is no problem." The Wei Dynasty really has such a way, there are many eunuchs in the southeast, and the Wei Dynasty has received the silver of filial piety from these people in the past few days. For this newly appointed Dongchang Admiral Eunuch, these eunuchs outside naturally have to stammer, and it is not easy to get these things.
"In the future, you have to obey the orders of this Lord Xu, and you will get him whatever he wants, even if it is a human being. And the things that you buy, I will give money, but these money are all the money of my inner treasury, is this price? The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at the Wei Dynasty even more meaningfully at this time, and his status as the Emperor of the Apocalypse during this period of time was naturally clear. Maybe he didn't want to hide it from the Emperor of the Apocalypse at all, maybe this is the unspoken rule of the Ming Dynasty for a long time!
"Your Majesty rest assured, how dare the minions let Your Majesty break the bank? Naturally, someone will come out of this money. "In the eyes of the Wei Dynasty, isn't it easy to get something out of those local tyrants and rich gentry?
"No, you just have to keep the price low. Also, it's better to get them to stop doing business with people outside the Cypriots, and you have people buy all those things. "Now the Emperor of the Apocalypse can only block this line through this method, otherwise these people will smuggle such pig iron, copper, salt, and grain into the hands of Houjin, and things will become more and more troublesome. Such a thing happened in history, and the strength of the Manchu Qing was not unrelated to this.
The breeze is gentle, the moon is bright, the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty is already flickering with lights at this time, the figures are flickering, and the huge palace is extremely lively. After a tiring day, the Emperor of the Apocalypse couldn't rest after returning to the palace, because there was a family banquet to be held in the palace.
Although the Emperor of the Apocalypse who was called to the Cining Palace was reluctant in his heart, there was nothing he could do now, and he had to have enough respect for the titular mother Emperor of the Apocalypse. In fact, in retrospect, what I did was already very excessive, this Concubine Zhao of Emperor Taichang, the queen mother at this time was okay with the Emperor of the Apocalypse. But since he was canonized as the queen mother, don't say that every three days to say goodbye, the Emperor of the Apocalypse rarely comes.
For this family banquet, Emperor Tianqi should have prepared well, but after discussing firearms with Xu Guangqi for a day in Huangzhuang, he felt very tired. But he also had to force Jing Shen to come to Cining Palace, looking at Concubine Zhao sitting there, the Emperor of the Apocalypse respectfully said: "The son has seen the queen mother, and the son has neglected the queen mother during this period of time, and I hope that the queen mother will forgive the sin." โ
"What is the emperor talking about, the queen mother is happy that you are an emperor who is diligent and loves the people, how can I blame you!" Concubine Zhao still has a good impression of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, if it weren't for this child's anger, I'm afraid I wouldn't know where to go, how could I have the current position of the queen mother! Besides, he only has one daughter, and if he has such a son, he is naturally raised as his own son.
"Quick, the emperor will come to the side of the queen mother." The Emperor of the Apocalypse could naturally hear Concubine Zhao's concern for him, and at this time, he also felt that his lonely heart seemed to be comforted, and his tired body seemed to be a little lighter.
didn't speak, the Emperor of the Apocalypse obediently went to Concubine Zhao's side, listening to her constantly chattering about the past, and felt a little warm in his heart. At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse seemed to have gradually abandoned everything in his heart, and he was really the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
When she accompanied Concubine Zhao to speak, the wine and food had already been put on the table, and after drinking a little wine, the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't remember anything.
Looking at the Emperor of the Apocalypse who was asleep, Concubine Zhao's heart was very distressed, she touched the hair of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and said slowly: "It seems that this emperor has worked very hard, why is he tired like this." As he spoke, he saw Chen Hong who came with the Emperor of the Apocalypse, so he asked, "What did you do with the Emperor today?" How did you get tired like this? โ
Hearing the Queen Mother ask, Chen Hong was slightly stunned and didn't dare to tell the truth, the Emperor of the Apocalypse attached so much importance to that matter, if he leaked the news from himself, I am afraid that he would definitely lose his head. couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Don't dare to deceive the Queen Mother, Your Majesty once said that no matter what it is, slaves are not allowed to say it, so slaves." โ
Chen Hong's words were not finished, but Concubine Zhao understood, nodded lightly and said: "The mourning family knows, if the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if the minister is not secret, he will **." The emperor did right, and you did right. Let's go down! The emperor lives here today. โ
