The four-wheeled carriage is very spacious, and the load-bearing part below is also made of low-carbon steel strips as shock absorbers, and the wheels are made of solid rubber tires.

But Wan Zhen'er, who was sitting in the carriage, did not have a sense of happiness, and she looked anxious and frightened.

"Take Zhen'er, sir! Go to Liangguang and go to the Americas, as long as you follow Mr., Zhen'er is willing, Zhen'er don't go back to the palace! As she spoke, tears flowed down and threw herself into Ding Yi's arms, a mature feminine breath that could penetrate into a man's heart more than tears.

Ding Yi was quite speechless, and even Cao Jixiang, who was waiting on the side, lowered his head and didn't dare to raise it, because he was afraid that he couldn't help it.

If he couldn't help it, Cao Jixiang felt that he would curse violently, not probably, but definitely.

"Alright, you sit down first." Ding Yi comforted Wan Zhen'er, and finally persuaded her to sit opposite.

Cao Jixiang looked at Wan Zhen'er, whose eyes were swollen like peaches from crying, and couldn't help but speak: "Young master, the old slave has something to say." ”

"Just say, where are there so many rules?" Ding Yi had a headache, he originally thought that the last thing to worry about was Wan Zhen'er, didn't Zhu Jianshen ascend the throne? Don't you just wait for the harem to be powerful, and you can get it? Who knows what she also ran to say to follow her, and after asking for a long time, she couldn't tell me clearly, I really don't know what it's called!

Huaxia is very particular about hiding from the top and not from the bottom, so the cats in the harem are tired, Ding Yi doesn't know, but Cao Jixiang knows. Wan Zhen'er couldn't say clearly, but Cao Jixiang said clearly in a few words: "Miss." You are a disciple of the young master, and the old slave has been waiting for the young master for so many years. Some words, I'm afraid it's a bit straight, and the old slave doesn't pay attention to it, if it's offended, please Haihan. ”

Although Wan Zhen'er had a bad temper, she was still very well-behaved in front of Ding Yi, and hurriedly returned the courtesy: "Uncle Cao is polite, just say it." How can there be such a life? ”

The carriage was quite stable on the road, but what Cao Jixiang said made Ding Yi jump, because Cao Jixiang said: "Young master, the emperor wants to accept Miss Zhen'er as a concubine, but Miss will not obey." ”

"Why?" Ding Yi didn't understand! You know, in fact, Wan Zhen'er is one and a half years older than Ding!

She is nineteen years older than Zhu Jianshen, if she doesn't marry Zhu Jianshen, what else does she want? Do you really look at the examples of Ding Ruyu and Ding Junyue. Want to run your own business?

"Where do you want to go? Just say, Sir will always call the shots for you! As soon as Ding calmed down, he asked Wan Zhen'er.

The word "master" is not a joke. Even if Wan Zhen'er wants to be the queen, with Ding Yi's short-term temperament, with her current strength. I'm afraid that it is not impossible to build her a piece of land in Tianzhu to be the queen.

But Wan Zhen'er spoke. Ding Yi was stunned, and she said: "Zhen'er has no ambitions. Just wait by your husband's side. ”

What does this mean? Everyone knows what it means!

It's just that she can't look down on the little fresh meat of the emperor Zhu Jianshen, and she wants to follow Ding Yi with all her heart!

"Nonsense!" Ding Yi had to keep a straight face, first of all, he didn't have this idea about Wan Zhen'er, and secondly, Wan Zhen'er didn't meet his aesthetic standards, but the problem was that this matter couldn't be said yet, otherwise everyone would be embarrassed, and it would be a laughing stock, "When a girl grows up, she always has to get married, how can she stay by her teacher's side for a long time?" ”

"Lao Cao, send someone back to Beijing to tell the emperor, saying that Zhen'er heard that Shaobao was going to sea, and with the heart of respecting the teacher, she came out to see her off, begging the emperor to see her for the sake of this pure heart, don't blame her, if you want to blame, finally I am a teacher who neglects to discipline the malpractice."

Cao Jixiang hurriedly responded, and was about to send someone to pass the order, but Ding Yi stopped: "Also, if the emperor really wants to accept Zhen'er as a concubine, the Jinghai County Mansion hopes to have a ceremony, not to mention any celebrations, it is best to go out with Jun Yue, and have a pomp, after all, the love of master and apprentice for ten years is no different from that of father and daughter, and he always has to teach her to have a settlement, please be considerate of the emperor." ”

It's not a canonization queen, how can the harem concubines have any rituals? It's just that Ding Yi said this deliberately, even if it was to give Wan Zhen'er an explanation, and it could be regarded as showing his attitude: the love of master and apprentice, what can be done for her, will try his best to help her fight for it, whether it is reasonable or not, but if it crosses this line, it is not necessary to talk about it.

Wan Zhen'er didn't expect Ding Yi to reject her so decisively, and she didn't leave any room at all, and waited until Cao Jixiang got out of the car to pass the order and came back, she came back to her senses and said quite bitterly: "Thank you, sir." ”

"I don't think your spirit is very good, why don't you teach someone to send you back to Beijing?" As soon as Ding looked at her demeanor, he asked again.

According to Ding Yi's thoughts, she didn't really want to send Yu Qian, there was still a way to go from Tianjin, and she was in no mood to follow. But Ding Yi still doesn't quite understand this woman's mind after all, but what Wan Zhen'er thinks about is that if she can accompany Ding Yi for a while, she will be happier for a while, where is she willing to return to Beijing?

"The disciple is willing to go with Mr. to send Yu Shaobao."

Then she said this, Ding Yi could only let her follow, she didn't make noise along the way, handed over tea and water, and grabbed Cao Jixiang's work, which made Cao Ji very uncomfortable.

When he went to Tianjin, Yu Qian was very happy to see Ding Yi coming to send him, but when he saw Wan Zhen'er following, his face darkened, and he directly pulled Ding Yi to the side, and said coldly: "What do you want?" If you talk about teaching and preaching, there is no class of teaching, and there are many talented female disciples from the academy, and there are many talents in the Zhihe, Fumin, and military travel troops, and no one in the world makes vain comments on your acceptance of female disciples. But Wan Zhen'er, the emperor wants to accept her as a concubine, if you take her out like this, even if you are innocent, people's words are terrible! ”

Ding Yizhen doesn't like to visit the trivial matters of the harem, he thinks about the big strategic direction, and he is not the aunt in the streets and alleys, collecting the gossip of the east and west families, so speaking of which, he really doesn't know what Yu Qian has heard. At this time, listening to Yu Qian's reprimand, he had no choice but to say: "Yes, it is true that the disciple is not thoughtful, thank you for the teachings of Mr." ”

After Yu Qian sprayed Ding Yi, he called Wan Zhen'er over and said to her: "The heart of a pure child is commendable, but after all, you live in the world, if you are grateful for the kindness of the teacher, but you should think more about your master, so as not to discuss things." Wan Zhen'er responded honestly because Ding was on the side, but she had already scolded Yu Qian, the old man, 10,000 times in her heart.

Although Yu Qian said that he did not form a party, he had been a waiter for 20 years, and he had grasped the power of more than ten years, and at this time he went to sea, even his son and daughter-in-law accompanied him, which was to guard the posture of the old man of the Ming Dynasty, and the protégé was old, and there were many people who came to see him off, but he couldn't go at all that day, Ding Yi taught Cao Jixiang to take people to send Wan Zhen'er back to Beijing in the afternoon of the same day, and let the garrison set up a flowing water banquet, and as Yu Qian's personal disciple, to entertain these old people who saw them off, and went to noon on the second day, Yu Shaobao sailed offshore.

"Sir, there's an urgent military report." Before Ding Yi left Tianjin, Li Jiannan rushed over to report.

said that it was an urgent report, but in fact it was a military situation half a year ago at the earliest, because they were all overseas military reports.

One is the factory in Guinea, the report sent by Du Mu shows that the research and development of gun barrel steel has been obtained; The hot air balloon has lifted off. But the telephone can't be tinkered with, and there is no clue at all, but this is also in Ding Yi's expectation, no matter how talented he is, there is always a limit, it is impossible for one generation to be busy with the work of more than ten generations.

Cable telegraph is a very simple principle, especially Ding Yi proposed, with Morse code, that is, a process of powering on and off, that is, the circuit is turned on and off, there is such a principle, Li Jiangtou gathered the top craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, and then studied how to receive the signal of power-on and power-off, it took ten years, and Ding Yi was very happy.

Converting the electrical signal into an audio signal, Ding Yizhen didn't have any hope in the first place.

And Du Mu mentioned a problem, that is, black people are lazy, and do not abide by the rules and regulations, and always make construction accidents.

As a result, more than 2,000 black people died in the factory and mine in half a year, and because they were afraid of affecting the progress of the mine, the garrison sent people to recruit a group of black miners to work by relatively tough means. Du Mu did not like blacks or Egyptians, and he hoped to get some Chinese workers, as he said, "If you have the people of the Ming Dynasty, you can be illiterate."

Ding Yi said to Cao Jixiang, who had just arrived from Beijing: "Write this down and go back and let Liu Youzhi draft a charter." ”

There are also two military reports, which were sent by Wan An and Liu Tie, among which what Wan An said was completely different from Du Mu.

In Wan'an's report, the black man was so brave that he couldn't do it, one after another, for the dignity of the Ming Dynasty, he threw his head and spilled his blood, and Ding Yi wanted to vomit when he saw it. However, there is a conclusion that is consistent with Du Mu, that is, the casualties of the black soldiers are very large, and the casualties of the two black divisions reach 60 percent. However, the Rong Fourth Regiment, composed of Chinese soldiers, only suffered eleven casualties.

Then Wan An's conclusion is that the shape is a big good, not a small good, with the cooperation of those who went out to serve as local officials in Zhejiang and Liangguang, he has established eleven county-level institutions in South America, and the food has been completely self-sufficient, and the shortage of the army is Zhengtong guò to recruit locals and train them to supplement, and in time, "the barbarians must be taught to serve the sinicization!" ”

Liu Tie was much more honest, saying that the situation in North America was very bad, because of the climate, there were many sick people, anyway, it was very difficult, and many of those who went to serve as magistrates cursed that the Metropolitan Governor's Office of the Four Seas had deceived them, and some people wanted to steal the warships of the Ming army and return to China, but they were killed by the sentries. There were also more than a dozen cases in which the magistrates, and their retinues, were killed and scalped by headhunters.

"Zijian has grown." As soon as Ding looked at these two military newspapers, he laughed and praised Liu Tielai.

Difficulties are not a big problem, what he is worried about is whether the South American side is really as smooth as Wan An said? (To be continued......) R1292
