After a pause, Zhang Anshi put away the hesitation, put on a reasonable look, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, they have to learn how to make machine guns, of course the ministers have fulfilled their wishes, why now, their families blame the ministers?" ”

Zhu Di said: "Then why don't you report to your family?" ”

Zhang Anshi's face was flat, and he looked serious: "This ...... Can't say. ”

Zhu Di looked strange: "Why can't you say it?" Now that no one can find it, their parents, wives and children, how anxious they are! This is missing for no reason, they won't go to Qixia to look for you, they are in a hurry, they will come to find me. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "It involves military secrets, of course the minister can't say it, Your Majesty...... The minister has not said to the outside world, the minister has a place in Qixia that specializes in the study of weapons, if the minister said, teach people to know, what if someone raids? There are only a thousand days to be a thief, and the minister has never heard of a thousand days to prevent thieves. ”

This is true!

After hearing this, Zhu Di also became serious, and bowed his head: "I see, why didn't you say it earlier, but I was also blinded 55." ”

"Your Majesty didn't ask."

Zhu Di said angrily. You don't know about it, so how can you ask? ”

Zhang Anshi said embarrassedly. Minister...... Minister......"

"Alright, alright." Zhu Di said: "Anyway, so many days have passed, let them go home quickly, don't let their families worry." ”

"Ah...... This ...... "Zhang Anshi has a weak heart.

"What's wrong again?" Zhu Di saw that Zhang Anshi's face was a little wrong, so he said, "Nothing will happen again, right?" ”

Zhang Anshi had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty, you can't let it go." ”

Zhu Di frowned and said, "Can't you put it?" Why can't you put it? These guys ......"

Thinking of these guys, especially Xu Jingchang, Zhu Di seemed to sense something and said angrily. Did Xu Jingchang cause something again? ”

"Not really." Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, didn't you say it, it involves military secrets, and there are many projects in the research workshop that are being promoted, many of which are of great importance, and all the skilled craftsmen involved in this matter are incognito, in order to prevent news leakage, or leakage of technical information." ”

"Your Majesty...... The machine gun was only one of the items, there were seven or eight items of the same level as the machine gun, and there were also three items that were more important than the machine gun...... Detected beforehand. Your Majesty, this lot of technical information, as well as the manufacturing process, and even the formula for alchemy, once it is out, it is not a joke, and Your Majesty does not want to suddenly shoot at our Ming army with machine guns on the battlefield in the future. ”

Zhu Di."

Zhang Anshi saw that Zhu Di was silent, so he was silent.

Zhu Di took a deep breath and said, "What do you mean...... Where are they going to stay for the rest of their lives? ”

"You don't have to stay for the rest of your life." Zhang Anshi said: "The initial stage of research must be kept secret, and when many research plans are completed, or even have finished products, then there may be new plans, enter the next step of research, the finished products come out, start production and assembly, and wait until I have been unbeatable in this regard, then there is nothing to hide." ”

Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief, so he said, "I'm scared, how long will it take to let them out?" ”

Zhang Anshi thought for a while and said..." Three to five years for the slow, one year for the fastest. ”

Zhu Di."

Zhang Anshidao · Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

Zhu Di said: "Then how do I explain to their families?" This person can't just disappear into thin air, can he? ”

Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, this is not to blame the minister, the minister said to them not to don't, but they have to go, this is their own request, the minister did not stop." ”

Zhu Di."

Zhang Anshi put on a very embarrassed look, and finally said, "Forget it." Then even if it's the minister's fault, otherwise, the minister should let them out. ”

"Let go of a bird." Zhu Di was angry and said: "Death must also die in it, this is the foundation of society." ”

"Ah......" Zhang Anshi scratched his head. How can that be explained? ”

Zhu Di said: "I will tell their families that I have confessed to them a confidential matter and taught them to do it." ”

Zhang Anshidao · lest they not believe. ”

Zhu Di snorted coldly and said. Believe and believe, and believe if you don't believe. ”

"Your Majesty."

Zhu Di said again. These people, you have to watch carefully, especially Xu Jingchang, this guy is the most naughty, maybe this guy will escape. ”

Zhang Anshi said very seriously: "Your Majesty, don't worry! Not to mention that there are three steps and one post, five steps - sentry, the wall is three feet high, and the high wall is also poured with glass slag, and they can't run, even if they dig a hole...... I can't dig it out, so I specially chose the site on the rock. ”

Zhu Di suddenly looked relieved, and said with his jaw bowed. Well...... You are attentive. ”

Zhu Di suddenly remembered something, and said, "How is Taiping Mansion now?" ”

Zhang Anshi said with a hesitant face. Not very good. ”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows: "Huh? ”

Zhang Anshi is not stupid, it is good to call Qu more, maybe His Majesty is soft-hearted, and suddenly gives something sweet.

"Manpower is tight, and there are many displaced people, and the newly recruited group of clerks and military officials are not familiar with the business, and there are ...... And also...... The housing problem is also very prominent, and there are many poor people......" Zhang Anshi said many problems like a cannonball.

These problems are indeed the main contradictions in Taiping at present.

This is a completely blank social experiment, every time an old problem is solved, new problems inevitably appear, development solves part of the problem, but development also creates new problems.

This is different from other state capitals, other state capitals, as long as you rely on the three-board axe, but if you are diligent, you can solve the problem.

But in Taiping Mansion, everyone has no experience, and every time they encounter a new problem, no one can find the final answer to the problem, so they can only figure it out little by little.

Zhu Di frowned after hearing this: "I didn't expect you to have a problem with displaced people." Na Ning Guofu also had the problem of displaced people before, but it is said that it has been solved now, and many people are boasting about Jian Qing. ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said. After all, Jian Gong is a secretary of the Ministry of Justice, and he is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, how can the minister be compared with him? ”

Zhu Di said: "You don't have to be modest, I also know a little about your situation in Taiping Mansion." It has been done very well, and we will work hard in the future. ”

Zhang Anshi said." Yes, the minister will do his best. ”

Zhang Anshi didn't stay long, Zhu Di specially summoned him this time, mainly to ask Xu Jingchang about the whereabouts of those guys, since this matter has been concluded, Zhang Anshi didn't stay too long.

After saying goodbye and leaving the palace, he immediately returned to Qixia.

But when he saw that there were many more lieutenants on the street, he showed displeasure and summoned Chen Li." Why are so many lieutenants on the streets? ”

Chen Li wiped his sweat before he said: "A group of homeless people from Zhenjiang and a group of homeless people from Fengyang Mansion have fought, there are too many people, and the patrol can't be suppressed. ”

Zhang Anshi said angrily · Into the, what to fight, it's really unreasonable! Just now, His Majesty praised me for doing things safely and the Taiping Mansion is well governed, but if you turn your head, you will cause trouble!"

Chen Li said with a little grievance: "The main reason is that there are too many homeless people from various prefectures in Nanzhili, all of them come here, everyone's customs are different, and the accents are different. ”

Hearing the reason, Zhang Anshi's face softened slightly, and he said. It seems that the patrol of the Inspection Department will increase in scale. In addition, those who make trouble must be severely punished. Of course...... We also have to find ways to let the counties take the lead in setting up some resettlement centers in various localities. Many people come to our Taiping Mansion, they are unfamiliar with this place, and they don't know how to settle down, and those who want to recruit manpower also lack manpower, and they don't know where to recruit. The urgency of this tooth line is highlighted. ”

Chen Li said: "Grandpa, don't mention these teeth." Many of the tooth trades were very cunning, and on the one hand, they collected money from the employers of the workshops, and then turned their heads and went to the homeless people, saying that they were introducing them to work, and that they were going to deduct a part of their salaries to pay for the introductions. They ate at both ends, and when the hired workers noticed it afterwards, they started to make a fuss, and this tooth shop relied on their unfamiliarity with the place to deceive people. ”

Zhang Anshi was furious and said angrily: "Into his mother, it seems that it is time to take care of it!"

"Grandpa, if you say a word, you will deal with it."

Zhang Anshi shook his head: "Jinyiwei does his own thing, this kind of thing is patrolled and managed, it is inconvenient for you to interfere, everyone should perform their duties." However, the government needs to come up with a way to raise a labor service department to mediate such matters, and directly close down the dental shops that do not meet the norms, so as not to cause disputes. ”

Before he stopped singing, Zhang Anshi only took a deep breath, and then went to Gao Shaoyin and Li Zhaomo Shanghuang non-stop.

The New Year has passed in a blink of an eye.

As soon as the New Year passes, it is the best-selling time of the imperial brew in the palace, and in many mansions, the wine is piled up, but no one in Zhang Anshi comes to give gifts, and some protégés and former officials come to visit.

Everyone knows that the Zhang family is rich, and it can be said that they are rich enough to rival the country, and they can't take that little courtesy.

Zhang Anshi was rarely idle, holding his child Zhang Changsheng and teasing him for a long time, and his eyes also showed the warmth of being a father.

Xu Jingyi's belly gradually grew again.

However, when Xu Jingyi mentioned her cousin Xu Jingchang, she couldn't help but be very sad: "I don't know what imperial orders I bear, and I don't see anyone during the New Year, the Dingguo Mansion is very deserted, and my father is also very worried about it." ”

Zhang Anshi looked at his wife's frowning brows, and then put Zhang Changsheng on the bed and let him sit by himself.

Zhang Changsheng opened his eyes wide, his face was confused, his mouth made an ah-ah sound, his body was wrapped like a zongzi, and he didn't seem to want to sit, so he leaned back directly, and then fell on the pillow, then put aside his legs, adjusted his sleeping position, and then stretched out his tongue and licked his lips.

Zhang Anshi looked at his son's self-amusement, and couldn't help but smile a little.

But he still forced himself to look away, looked at the worried lady and said, "Yes, it's really pitiful, it's the time for the family to reunite during the New Year." But he's also an adult, and he'll take care of himself. It's you, you're heavy now, don't think too much!"

Xu Jingyi looked at her husband's concern for herself, her frowning eyebrows gradually relaxed, and she smiled slightly. Hey, anyway, he is the prince of Dingguo, and he should be the emperor. ”

But she was still a little worried: "I heard someone say...... they]...... Something happened to them. ”

"Something?" Zhang Anshi was stunned: "What happened?" ”

"It's said that it's dead, but Your Majesty is afraid that their family will grieve......"

"No, I don't think Your Majesty is such a person." Zhang Anshi said.

Xu Jingyi said. This is not accurate, husband, think about it, what kind of errand, so that there is no even a little news? Your Majesty's side is also vague, husband...... My uncle was killed in the first place, and it was already pitiful, if it is now...... Again...... Hey......"

Zhang Anshi hurriedly comforted: "Xu Jingchang's physiognomy is like Wang Baxiang at first glance, he belongs to Wang Baxiang, and he generally doesn't die so easily, so don't be careful." You are pregnant now, you must not be sad, I can guarantee that he will come back in three or five years at most, or at least a year or two. ”

Xu Jingyi sighed, trying not to think about this, holding her stomach lightly, and said, "I can only think about it in the better." ”

At this time, Zhang Changsheng seemed to be a little tired of licking his lips, so he began to chirp.

Zhang Anshi had no choice but to pick him up again, seeing that this little face seemed to be resentful and dissatisfied, Zhang Anshi was childlike for a while, so he deliberately widened his eyes and said. Son, who do you see? ”

Zhang Changsheng's eyes also stared at Zhang Anshi, as if he was startled, flattened his mouth, wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to cry, as if he felt that Zhang Anshi's fierce appearance made him uneasy, so he hurriedly and obediently put his head on Zhang Anshi's chest and rubbed it to show his intimacy.

Xu Jingyi was distressed, and hurriedly said: "Don't murder him, he is timid." ”

Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "It seems that this does not need to be tested, it must be my own birth." ”

"How can it not be your own ......," Xu Jingyi was angry.

"I'm just kidding." Zhang Anshi gently touched Zhang Changsheng's head before saying, "Seeing him so timid, I am relieved, this child will live to be a hundred years old in the future." ”

Time passed quietly, and when it was spring, news came from Deng Jian's side that a large number of seeds could be promoted.

Not only that, but there is also good news.

Zhang Anshi hurried to the farm.

The scale of this village has been much larger, with thousands of hectares of land, and there are many villages.

One of the most striking is a village where the family of a criminal official is located.

The brothers and children of these criminals were sent to prison at first, and the place was ...... In their eyes, it is like the palace of Hades.

But who knows, they were all sent here.

They settled down in fear, but gradually found that no one tortured them, no one insulted their daughters, and even ...... There were very few guards to take care of, just let them obey Deng Hou's arrangement and find food by themselves, whether it was weaving or farming, to support themselves.

If these people were sent directly, they would have complained, but if they went to the edict first, but they were sent again, and their hearts were only grateful.

At this moment, Che's pride has been shattered, and it is a blessing to be able to survive in secret.

So they also began to gradually adapt, picking manure, planting seedlings, harvesting, observing the situation of each field, and even because most of them had read books and had a lot of knowledge, Deng Jian even asked them to be responsible for recording the data of various experimental fields.

When Zhang Anshi arrived, a young man who followed behind Deng Jianshi, Zhang Anshi looked familiar.

Deng Jian looked very happy, and when he saw Zhang Anshi glance at the young man again, he said. His name is Jian Ying, guess whose son he is? ”

Zhang Anshi said." It can't be a rebellion, right? ”

Deng Jian smiled and said: "My family is smart. ”

"That's right." Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly. I'm really smart. ”

Jian Ying went to pour tea and water for the two.

When he walked out of the lobby, Zhang Anshi said in a low voice: "Is this person reliable?" No...... You won't be resentful, will you? ”

Deng Jian shook his head. He was content to survive without being humiliated. Doesn't An Shi know how the children of convicts will be treated? His wife, as well as his two younger sisters, are all fine and he is grateful. ”

Zhang Anshi said stupidly: "This is good, this is good, this person is ...... How about here? ”

"At first, I was not used to it, many people were still a little arrogant, but gradually I got used to it, and I was willing to work hard...... He learned very quickly, and now several important experimental fields are also handed over to him to take care of. He is quite careful in his work, and he is also a smart person. ”

Deng Jian said, looking very proud: "I didn't expect that the scholar cultivated the land, so easy to use!" Many things, click on them once, and they will understand. And I can also figure out some skills, a lot of data, they recorded, how much fertilizer is used, how much is the daily growth, and the situation of insect pests. ”

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yes, it is still useful for people to read, but they can't learn from death with a useless knowledge. ”

Deng Jian said: "So I am much more idle now, and I deliberately let them do many things, just so that they can all experience experience." The knowledge of cultivated land, but how many people who have read books are willing to care? I'm afraid that one day I'll die, and all these things I've accumulated will be gone. So now I am mainly with the help of Jian Ying, I am revising this book of agriculture and talking about some of my daily farming experiences, hoping that these things can be of some help to the people. ”

As he spoke, he said faintly: "Hey, I have served people for half my life in my last life, and I will serve the crops for half my life in the second half of my life, no matter what I serve, I always hope to do a good job." ”

"Xiu Nongshu?" Zhang Anshi said happily: "Okay, good, this is a good thing!"

"This is Jian Ying's proposal." Deng Jian said: "After he is a prisoner, His Majesty's will is clear and cannot be pardoned. In his life, I'm afraid he will be here with me. Other officials, there are also a lot of shrewd and capable people, our farm, the benefits are acceptable, I plan to build some houses here, my crippled body, and Jian Ying them, I don't expect to enjoy any happiness in the second half of my life. But the ladies are in the thatched hut, and there are many inconveniences. Their father and brother have sinned, but the sin should not have come upon them. ”

Deng Jian is kind-hearted, Zhang Anshi was silent, and from a personal point of view, he also agreed with Deng Jian's words.

It's just that sometimes, I feel that it is not a woman's kindness.

But for Zhang Anshi, as long as Deng Jian is happy.

So he said. Then you told me earlier, I will call a construction team, and I will give the money. ”

"I don't have to." Deng Jian shook his head and said, "We have to let the money and grain we dig out from the ground to build it." When I sent them here, I also taught them to be self-reliant, this rule cannot be changed, and some people may have different minds if they change. All their lives, they have relied on their families and the power of their fathers and brothers, and they have been rich and noble for so many years. In the future, it can't be like this anymore. ”

Zhang Anshi said." Deng Gong...... No...... Deng ......"

Zhang Anshi didn't know what to call Deng Jian for a while, looking at Deng Jian, the corners of his eyes were already wrinkled, in fact, he was still quite young, probably because he had experienced strong winds and waves, and because he was facing the loess and facing the sky, his sideburns were already a little white.

Zhang Anshi finally said: "I'll call you Uncle Deng." ”

Deng Jian was flattered and said: "I can't help it, I can't help it." ”

Zhang Anshi said with a face that could not be refused: "There is nothing to do." Okay, Uncle Deng, let's get down to business, what's the happy thing? ”

"There are two."

Being able to be called uncle by Zhang Anshi, Deng Jian's heart was full of warmth, and he said happily at this time: "The seeds of potatoes have now been carefully selected and begun to be distributed to farmers in various counties for cultivation, which is enough. Also, there is another seed that I brought back at the beginning, and now it is ripe. ”

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but be surprised: "This is the beginning of spring...... Mature ......"

Deng Jian smiled and said, "Let's go, let's see." ”

Zhang Anshi was full of curiosity, waiting for Deng Jian to come out of the hall, and Jian Ying also followed.

Zhang Anshi deliberately stopped and glanced at Jian Ying: "How is it, are you still used to it here?" ”

"I'm used to it, it's just ......"

He paused.

Zhang Anshi stared at him and said, "Say." ”

Jian Ying said: "I don't know the news of my father, after all, ...... The heart is not steady. ”

"Your father is more comfortable than you are."

"That's good." Jian Ying smiled.

Zhang Anshi said." Be a good person here and be down-to-earth. ”

"Yes." Jian Ying nodded.

At the moment, Jian Ying led Deng Jian and Zhang Anshi to a test field.

Looking at it from a distance, Zhang Anshi fully understood.

In the distance, there is a glass house.

The closer he got, Zhang Anshi could already feel that there was a little more heat in this still chilly spring day.

This is someone who burned the earth dragon.

The ground seemed to be steaming hot.

And in the glass room, it was in the verdant green, faintly showing patches of gold.

Zhang Anshi's eyes couldn't help but light up.
