Gunpowder workshop master? Yinzhen slowed down slightly, the honeycomb coal stove offered a heavy reward for two questions, although it was very simple, but in this era, no one could really explain it clearly, even European missionaries could not explain it clearly. Now, phlogiston may have just emerged, but this master asked to see him, he couldn't help but be very curious, stopped his steps, and asked, "What about people?" ”

As soon as he heard that the prince wanted to see Luo Tianyun, Qi Lao Liu hurriedly got up and said, "Back to the prince, he is nearby, and the slave will call him." With that, he ran over with a puff of smoke.

Luo Tianyun didn't go far, he soon followed Qi Lao Liu, and after being searched and checked, he was brought to Yinzhen, Yinzhen looked at him carefully, he was not very well-dressed, but he was very neat, he was not very old, about twenty years old, and his appearance was also very delicate, and he knew that he was a scholar at a glance.

"Student Luo Tianyun greets the prince." Luo Tianyun stepped forward and played a thousand ways very cleverly.

Yinzhen has a lot of things, and he doesn't go around in circles, and when he gets up, he asks directly: "What is the matter with you seeing this king?" ”

Luo Tianyun also knew that Yinzhen was busy, so he said directly: "Back to the prince, the student is foolish, seeing that the firepower of honeycomb coal is much greater than that of briquettes, I am inspired, I don't know if gunpowder can also increase the power of honeycomb coal?" ”

Yinzhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, what is this column-shaped gunpowder called? Powder hydrant? This Luo Tianyun is too good, this is the inference, he even smiled and said, "Are you willing to go to Shanghai?" ”

Shanghai? The Fourteenth Master is recruiting him? Luo Tianyun was overjoyed, and immediately bowed down and said, "It is really a student's honor to serve under the prince of Xu. ”

Yinzhen nodded and said with a smile: "Firearms are the sharp weapons of the country, and there are many Western missionaries in the capital, so we must pay attention to secrecy." As he spoke, he commanded, "Dachun, who is in charge of the reward?" Reward Luo Tianyun with five hundred taels of silver. ”

Luo Tianyun was overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down and thanked: "Thank you for the generous reward." ”

Yinzhen bowed slightly, turned around and walked into the mansion quickly, changed into casual clothes and washed up for a while, he came to the study, the fourth elder brother Yinxiang, and the thirteenth elder brother Yinxiang were already waiting in the study, and when they saw him come in, they all got up to greet him.

Yinzhen smiled and greeted the two, and then sat down as the guest of honor, and as soon as he sat down, Yinzhen bowed and said: "The fourth brother used to mistakenly believe the villain's greedy words, and there was something inappropriate, and I hope that the fourteenth brother Haihan." ”

I didn't expect the fourth brother to apologize in front of the thirteenth child, but he was really able to bend and stretch, Yinzhen still had a faint smile on his face, and said: "I am a fellow brother and my mother, and I have to look at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face, and the previous things will not be mentioned for the time being, and the fourth brother does not need to be angry." ”

What does it mean to leave it untouched for the time being? Is the old fourteen planning to settle accounts after the autumn? Yin's heart was a little more cautious, and he squeezed out a smile and said: "The fourteenth brother is broad-minded, which really makes the fourth brother embarrassed. As he spoke, he changed the topic and said straight to the point: "I heard that the fourteenth brother once recommended the fourth brother to be stationed in Europe in front of the emperor Ama, and the fourth brother is very grateful. ”

"Fourth brother doesn't need to be polite." Yinzhen said lightly: "The fourth brother is cautious and meticulous, decisive and resolute, and extremely good at forbearance, Mr. Wu sees the subtleties, draws inferences from one another, is full of wisdom, can be called a national warrior, among the brothers, the fourth brother is my only rival, I don't want to waste all my energy on internal friction, Europe is rising rapidly, I propose that the fourth brother go, one is to let the fourth brother show his strengths, and the other is to avoid internal friction, so as to complete the love of you and my brothers, and avoid the thirteenth brother being caught in the dilemma." ”

Yin didn't expect the old fourteenth to be so frank and outspoken, and only after a slight pause did he say: "The fourteenth brother is so heart-to-hearted, which really makes the fourth brother ashamed." ”…,

Yinxiang also followed: "The fourteenth brother is so compassionate, and the thirteenth is grateful. ”

"Going to Europe, the fourth brother wants to bring some people over, and I hope that the fourteenth brother will be successful." Yin then said.

The conditions have not yet been opened, how can Yinzhen easily let go, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Whether the fourth brother can go to Europe or not is still undecided, and this matter still needs to be judged by the Emperor Ama Sheng."

Although Yin also wanted to stay, the risk was too great, and in front of the old fourteenth, he didn't dare to reveal it at all, so he smiled and said: "The fourteenth brother supports it, how can Huang Ama not allow it?" ”

"How many people are there in the fourth brother?" Yinzhen asked with a smile.

How dare Yin reveal his details at this time, and said sincerely at the moment: "If the fourteenth brother is willing to help, the fourth brother is willing to give up the entire intelligence system in his hand." ”

Intelligence system? Yinzhen was speechless for a while, he already had Cao's intelligence system, what was the use of asking for another one? Too much silver to be used? He glanced at Yin very depressed, and then he said, "Let's talk about this later." ”

Seeing that Lao Fourteen was not interested in the intelligence system, Yin Wei was surprised, could it be that Lao Fourteen had also established an intelligence system? He was a little helpless, except for this thing, he didn't have anything else to get his hands on, and after a slight groan, he said: "What does the fourteenth brother need, but it doesn't matter, the fourth brother will do his best." ”

Yinzhen frowned and thought about it, the fourth brother really didn't have anything valuable in his hands, and in order to ensure that the fourth brother could stir up trouble in Europe, he had to be supported in this matter, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The fourth brother is really outside, you went to Europe for the country and the people, how can I stand by and watch, but everything I can do, I must help." ”

"Fourteenth brother, righteousness." Yin said, and took the hot iron to explain the main purpose of coming today, "Fourteenth brother, among the many brothers, the fourth brother has always been friendly with the thirteenth brother, the thirteenth brother is both civil and military, and is familiar with the navy, sending troops to Europe, the task is difficult and complicated, and it is related to the national and military prestige of the Qing Dynasty, and it is necessary to negotiate with the royal families of various countries. ”

This question, the thirteenth has already said, at this time, seeing that the fourth brother cautiously mentioned it again, Yinzhen couldn't help but chuckle and said: "The fourth brother is a talent, Mr. Wu is also a genius, how can the strategy of European countries be two opponents, in fact, there is no need for a navy, and the fourth brother can also turn Europe upside down." ”

"The fourteenth brother laughed." Yin said sincerely: "I heard that Mr. Fang proposed to form an embassy to go to Europe with the army, if the fourteenth brother can recommend the fourth brother and the thirteenth brother, but if there is a need, the two of us will definitely do our best not to disappoint the fourteenth brother." ”

This kind of empty check, Yinzhen was not interested, and immediately said: "The fourteenth brother also hopes that the fourth brother can go to Europe as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night, and the thirteenth brother is indeed a very suitable leader candidate, I will definitely recommend it to Huang Ama, as for whether it will succeed or not, I dare not guarantee it." ”

"In this case, I will thank you in advance." Yin got up and said, "The fourteenth brother is busy, so the fourth brother won't bother." ”

Yinzhen also got up and said, "The thirteenth brother took me to send the fourth brother." ”

After the two of them left the room, Yinzhen sat down, sipping tea and pondering, why is the fourth child so keen to pull the thirteenth child to Europe? Thirteen has been in the navy for some time, and he will not be unclear that he has no control over the men and horses of the Nanyang Fleet, and even if he sends the two of them to Europe, it is impossible to play tricks.

The intention is not in the Navy, is it in Europe? The fourth child doesn't want the navy to help him fight the world in Europe, right? This is not good, it is one thing to be reluctant to have a navy, if the fourth really wants to establish a country in Europe, it will inevitably attract a joint attack by European powers, and even France and Spain will not agree, if you do so, it is very likely to set yourself on fire, and the gains outweigh the losses. …,

It is necessary to cut off the idea of the fourth, now is not the era of the Mengyuan Empire, the Qing Dynasty can only be like Portugal at most, cut off the territory for trade, and strengthen the connection with Europe.

"Master, the luncheon is ready." Bao Fuquan bowed at the door and said, "When the banquet will be held, please ask the master to show it." ”

Hearing this, Yinzhen got up and said, "Just open it in Yin'an Palace, don't let the starlings wait in a hurry." As he spoke, he commanded: "Someone will take the thirteenth master." ”

Yin'an Palace, the three of the eighth elder brother couldn't help but look at each other a little after learning that the old fourteen returned to the house and met with the fourth and thirteenth children, could it be that the fourth brother also bowed his head? What did he come to do? The two of them are enemies of life and death, is the old fourteen so magnanimous?

Yin couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, originally expected the two of them to fight to the death, so as to enjoy the benefits of the fisherman, but now it seems that it is pure wishful thinking, presumably it is the thread drawn by the old thirteen, and it is really negligent to the old thirteen.

The tenth elder brother was stunned for a while, and said worriedly; "Starling, you said that the fourteenth brother won't bring the fourth brother in, right? That's a poisonous snake. ”

"What the hell?" Brother Jiu Yin said disdainfully: "The fourteenth brother has no sense of proportion, can he get to this point?" ”

"After all, they are the same mother." Yin was not convinced.

Yin sipped tea and said slowly: "They are still enemies of life and death." ”

"The fourteenth brother acts in a very measured manner, and the tenth brother does not need to worry about the sky." Yin smiled slightly and diverted the topic: "Tenth brother, rectify the flag affairs, if the fourteenth brother lets you take the lead, are you willing?" ”

"If you don't want to, I can't talk about strategy, if you offend people, that's my forte." Yin said triumphantly.

Yin smiled and said: "I really didn't see it, the tenth brother was quite self-aware." ”

"That's not it, people are self-aware." After Yin finished speaking, he said quite vigilantly: "Brother Jiu is hurting me again?" ”

At this moment, Yinzhen pushed the door in, Yinzhen immediately transferred the object, got up and said with a smile: "Fourteenth brother, I heard that the fourth brother is here, what is he doing here?" ”

Yinzhen glanced at the three of them, sat down casually, and said with a smile: "Open guns are easy to dodge, but hidden arrows are difficult to prevent, I want to send the fourth brother to Europe, so that he always hides in the dark and releases cold arrows." ”

"Forty thousand miles in exile, good idea!" Yin smiled happily.

"Fourteenth brother is a good means." Yin Yi smiled and said, "Has Huang Ama allowed it?" ”

"It should be fine." Yinzhen said confidently: "It's just a matter of time." ”
