Now is the time to perform, I didn't expect my father to directly masturbate his errand, could it be that my father is telling him that the crown prince has no chance with him?

The third prince rolled his eyes, and he fainted directly.

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

Before the end of the evening, the three princes were reprimanded by the emperor and were taken off errands, which had spread in various yamen.

"My lord! Master Yin came to the letter and said that you should go to Mrs. Liang's house today. ”

Mingmo drove the carriage out of the palace gate and headed towards the Liang Mansion.

Gu Chengyu knew that the senior brother must be trying to discuss what happened in the court today, the battle between the princes had intensified, and it seemed that the matter of establishing the crown prince was just over the past few days.

"The villain has seen Master Gu! Master Yin and Master Yin are already waiting in the outer study. ”

As soon as Gu Chengyu got out of the carriage, Steward Liang greeted him.

Gu Chengyu followed Steward Liang all the way to the outer study, and unexpectedly found that Wu An and He Jisheng were also there.

Several people greeted each other and sat down.

Gu Chengyu thought in his heart, since He Jisheng was here, then he had to keep some of his words.

He always felt that He Jisheng had some prejudices against him, and besides, He Jisheng and the teacher were not very harmonious, so he still avoided talking well.

"Teacher, today the three princes have been reprimanded by the emperor in the court, you said that the emperor chose the crown prince, will the three princes be excluded?"

Wu An looked at Liang Zhirui, although he was only a fourth-grade person, but after being transferred back to the capital, he was thinking about standing in line.

He is not young, if he doesn't take the initiative again, I'm afraid that he will stay up until the three grades are hanging in front of Zhishi.

Liang Zhirui had already heard Yin Kun and them talk about it before, so he naturally understood what Wu An meant.

He glanced at He Jisheng, then shook his head, "It's hard to say!" The third prince has been calculated, and the emperor will not be unclear in his heart. ”

If you want him to say, the third prince is not a good person. He is not as good as the eldest prince in terms of talent, and he is not as good as the second prince in terms of character.

It's just that because Concubine Xian is favored, there are ministers who take refuge, otherwise there is really no advantage.

What about being a little clever? Who is stupid in this court? The third prince is more tender than those old foxes in the court.

"But what does that weapon look like? Why is it not practical, don't the three princes see it? ”

Gu Chengyu didn't know much about it, anyway, in the court today, there was no result in the establishment of the prince.

The emperor punished Lord Huo, and after taking the errand of the third prince, he brushed his sleeves and left.

The matter of establishing the crown prince was put on hold again, and those officials were naturally unhappy, but they did not dare to have any complaints.

Gu Chengyu felt that the emperor was simply evading, the prince would have to be established sooner or later, why did he delay it again and again?

If the crown prince had been appointed earlier and taught him to take care of the affairs of the house, wouldn't the emperor have been easier?

Sooner or later, will there be this, can the emperor still expect to be able to refine the elixir of immortality?

"The emperor asked everyone to circulate it, but I didn't look at it carefully, it should be in the shape of a spear. Oh! By the way, there are four bamboo-like branches in front of the spear, but much shorter than bamboo. ”

Yin Kun recalled it for a moment and felt that the weapon was indeed useless.

The extra branches were thin and short, and I heard that the spear-like weapon was still very heavy.

The enemy drew his sword and faced each other, and such branches could not be stopped at all. Besides, the front of the weapon is too heavy, and the soldier will have some trouble holding it, and the reaction must be much slower when defending against the enemy.

Gu Chengyu thought of an ancient weapon in his previous life, called Wolf Xian, but it was a little different from what Yin Kun described just now.

But how did Wolf Xian appear here? Could it be that there are still crossing colleagues here?

Wolf Xian was researched in ancient times in his previous life to deal with the Japanese Kou, and it is really not very practical here.

Because the characteristics of Daxing's swords are different from those of the Japanese sword, the wolf Xian may be suitable for dealing with the Japanese Kou, but it is not suitable for dealing with the soldiers of Daxing.

"Is that branch made of iron or bamboo?" Gu Chengyu put down the tea bowl and then asked.

"It's iron." Yin Kun was a little puzzled why Gu Chengyu was interested in that weapon, they literati didn't know much about weapons, how did they know if that weapon was really practical?

Gu Chengyu pondered when he heard this, the wolf constitution in his previous life was made of big bamboo, and the upper part was cut off with attached branches on all sides, and the branches were knotted.

When used, those branches can cover the whole body, and it is difficult for knives and guns to enter, so the user will have much less concern.

Soldiers armed with wolf constitutions are generally at the forefront, similar to the role of shields.

But if the wolf constitution is made of iron, it will not be practical, and when such weight is on the battlefield, it will make the soldier's movements sluggish.

Besides, the branch is not long, compared to Wolf Xian, this is a kind of goods.

He Jisheng's gaze flashed when he looked at Gu Chengyu, "What did Senior Brother think?" It's all your own people here, so you might as well say it and discuss it together. ”

When he saw Gu Chengyu closing his eyes and pondering, he thought that Gu Chengyu had an eyebrow for the weapon.

If you can use this weapon, wouldn't it be a great achievement?

Gu Chengyu smiled, "I'm just curious about what that weapon looks like." ”

Of course, Gu Chengyu couldn't tell the matter of Wolf Xian, the previous dynasty had opened a sea ban, but the time was not long.

The Qing Dynasty ruled for only thirty-two years, and after the country was stabilized, Yuan Qing had ordered the opening of the sea ban.

It's just that within a few years, piracy is rampant, whether it is the pirates of the country or those who are the pirates, they are all extremely vicious.

Later, Yuan Qing was obsessed with women, and there were many princes in the court, so they started infighting again. By the time Yuan Qing was in his old age, his health was also deteriorating, and he had no energy to manage these things.

Fearing that other countries would plant elaborate work in their own countries and collude with internal and external countries, they closed the sea ban again.

To this day, the sea ban has not been lifted.

How could he explain this wolf constitution clearly? So he simply didn't say anything.

"Senior brother! Since the manufactured weapons cannot be put into use, it is enough to rebuild them in the furnace, so is there no inventory of pig iron in the Ordnance Bureau? ”

Gu Chengyu was very puzzled, even if the border gate was in a hurry, it should be too late to make a batch first.

"Alas! The Ordnance Bureau did not have an inventory of pig iron, and the iron ore of the imperial court had already sent all the ore dug up some time ago. This batch of weapons is made of pig iron smelted from that batch of ore, and if you want to find pig iron in such a short period of time, you can only buy it from the people. ”

Gu Chengyu frowned, the imperial court had been keeping these minerals in the past, and all the mines were owned by the government, and the private businessman Jia Xiu wanted to get involved.

In the past two years, because the imperial court has invested too much manpower and financial resources, it has slowly liberalized its authority and given a small part to private merchants to exploit freely.

The government only needs to collect taxes on these minerals, but these taxes are not high, but they are two out of thirty.

Gu Chengyu thought that the imperial court was so poor, in fact, it could open up most of the minerals.

In the past, the bidding model opened these minerals to merchants and appropriately raised taxes, which should be one of the important taxes of the imperial court.
