In the more than two months that Lao Zhu left Beijing, because Lao Zhu had killed too much before, some people did have thoughts that they shouldn't have, and even made small moves in the capital.

Although Li Banghua is in the capital, these people can't make any big waves, but Li Banghua is not the emperor after all, and there are many things that they are inconvenient to deal with.

As for Chongzhen, who was staying in the capital, he had completely become a salted fish.

Li Banghua and the things they were inconvenient to deal with, so they went to Chongzhen and wanted Chongzhen to make a decision.

As a result, after Chongzhen read it, he directly brushed and wrote down his own processing results, and several ministers took it back to take a look.

Well, there is a sentence written on it, "Wait for the emperor to come back." ”

Several people were a little speechless for a moment, Chongzhen is relying on the presence of Taizu, and he doesn't care about it at all.

Although it is a good thing that Chongzhen did not fight for power with Taizu, Chongzhen lying so flat still made several people feel strange in their hearts.

Of course, Chongzhen doesn't really do nothing, if there is something urgent, he will still make a decision.

As for those that were not so urgent, he actually simulated the way to deal with it in his heart, but he didn't give it to a few ministers, but after writing it down, he quietly hid it himself.

Then he waited for Taizu to come back, and when the time came, he would see how Taizu dealt with it, and then he would answer the question to see what difference his way of dealing with it would be with Taizu.

After all, Taizu will have to leave sooner or later, and he will have to deal with this country by himself in the future, so while Taizu is still there, he can learn as much as he wants.

He also wants something else, he just hopes that after Taizu hands him over a peaceful country in the future, he can pass on the country to the next generation in peace.

By the way, it is worth mentioning that when Chongzhen is dealing with government affairs, he has begun to bring Zhu Cihong with him.

Now Chongzhen's plan in his heart is that if Taizu can stay in Daming for ten years, and then give him a peaceful country, then when he turns around and takes over the throne, he will also sit for ten years.

The current Zhu Cihong is thirteen years old, Taizu has been fighting for ten years, and he has been guarding for ten years, so Zhu Cihong is just thirty-three.

At that time, it would definitely not be a problem for the thirty-three-year-old Zhu Cihong to be the emperor, so he would directly throw the throne to Zhu Cihong at that time.

Anyway, when he arrived, he happened to be fifty-one years old, which was still the right year.

So he planned to take the queen directly to pick a son when that time came, and then learn from his brother Emperor Tianqi and find his own hobby to do.

has been on the throne for so many years, and almost tossed the country...... No, it seems to have been tossed and gone.

Although Grandpa Tai didn't say it, judging from the situation that Grandpa Tai inadvertently revealed, Grandpa Tai obviously knew a little about the future.

So judging from the meaning of Grandpa Tai's words on weekdays, it seems that he has indeed lost all the country in the future, and he has not even saved himself.

Although Grandpa Tai didn't say how he died, he definitely didn't end up thinking about the king of the dead country.

Therefore, after working hard for most of his life, he learned that he was working in vain, and after not ending well in the end, Chongzhen, who was originally chasing ducks to the shelves to be the emperor, has no thoughts about the emperor's profession.

The bullshit emperor is not as comfortable as he came when he was the king of letters.

It's just that when he believed in the king, he was young, and all he saw was the eunuch dictatorship to run the country, and the scourge of the Ming people was not living, so he was bent on helping the imperial brother get rid of the eunuchs and revitalize the dynasty.

As a result, after he succeeded to the throne, with his efforts, he did kill the eunuch party, but the problem was that the eunuch party was gone, but the Chaogang did not revive it, not only did it not revive, but it became worse and worse.

From that time on, Chongzhen knew that the profession of emperor was really not so easy to do.

So now Chongzhen has begun to plan his life in his heart, and he has even thought about his retirement life.

He heard Lao Zhu say that in countries other than Daming, there are many countries whose development is not even worse than that of Daming.

So Chongzhen thought in his heart, when the time comes, why don't you just take a big ship, follow Zheng He back then, and travel to the West?

As for the matter of building a big ship that costs people and money, he will definitely try to avoid it, and if it really can't be avoided, he doesn't bother to care about it so much.

He has lived a life of diligence and frugality, and he has retired, and he can't enjoy it yet.

……

Lao Zhu didn't know about Chongzhen's life plan, and even if he knew, he probably wouldn't say anything else except scolding Chongzhen for having no ambitions.

After all, some people are really not very suitable to be emperors, and people still run away after getting their heirs right, strictly speaking, they can be regarded as fulfilling their obligations to be emperors, so if they are not emperors, they just let him watch and do it himself.

I don't want to care about it anyway, and I don't bother to care about these things.

And after returning to the capital, the first thing Lao Zhu did was to cut down all the people who were making trouble in the capital.

He's only been gone for two months, so he doesn't know what this Da Ming's surname is?

I still dare to do things in secret, I really don't know how to write dead words.

After solving this wave of people, and then putting the backlog of government affairs for so long, Lao Zhu was not idle, but went to the Ordnance Bureau as soon as possible.

The Minne rifle is too strong, although the number of them is very small this time, and it can come in handy completely by surprise and sneak attack, but this does not prevent Lao Zhu from attaching importance to this thing.

If this thing can be manufactured in batches, then Lao Zhu thinks that in the future, the Ming Dynasty will not need to continue to recruit soldiers, but can take the route of elite soldiers.

"Your Majesty has been seen."

After seeing Lao Zhu, Song Yingxing and Bi Maokang were still a little excited.

After all, everything they have now is given by Lao Zhu, and now that the research has made a breakthrough, they naturally want to report to Lao Zhu.

"You don't have to be so polite."

Lao Zhu, who once again fully realized how strong science and technology is, has a more kind attitude towards Song Yingxing and the two at this time.

He took the initiative to reach out and pick Bi Maokang up, and then said, "Old man, you are old, and when you see us in the future, you don't need to make a big salute." ”

When Bi Maokang heard Lao Zhu say this, he felt a little flattered for a while, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done, it is a courtesy for a minister to worship the king, in front of Your Majesty, how can a minister lose his courtesy." ”

"What is the number of rites, let's talk about the number of rites."

For this kind of old man who cares about etiquette, Lao Zhu knows how to deal with it, he said directly: "We said that you don't have to kneel, you don't have to kneel." ”

"If you kneel again in the future, it will be a bully, so whether you kneel or not, you can weigh it yourself."

Song Yingxing, who was on the side, also heard that Lao Zhu was not being polite to Bi Maokang at this time, and hurriedly said: "Bi Lao, Your Majesty is sympathetic to you, so you don't have to excuse yourself." ”

"This ......"

Bi Maokang hesitated a little in his heart, but looking at Lao Zhu's resolute look, he didn't dare to refuse, so he wanted to kneel down and thank him, but he was stopped by Lao Zhu as soon as he knelt halfway, "We have all said it, there is no need to kneel in the future." ”

"And Song Yingxing, when you see us in the future, you don't need to kneel, those false gifts don't need to be used on you, not just kneeling, but others are also, if you can avoid it, you can avoid it."

In the eyes of Lao Zhu, these two people are the cornerstone of Daming Technology and the most important talents of Daming at present, no matter how preferential they are, they are not exaggerated.

Song Yingxing couldn't help but be stunned when he heard that he actually had this honor, and after reacting, he hurriedly followed Bi Maokang and bowed down to thank Lao Zhu.

"Congratulations, Heaven."

"Okay, don't talk about those false courtesies."

Lao Zhu was a little anxious at the moment, so he asked directly: "That Minne rifle, can it be made on a large scale?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it can be mass-produced."

Song Yingxing instantly entered the state, and he said directly: "The ministers have now studied the "Iowa Wooden Rifling Broaching Machine" mentioned in the annotation, and with this drawing bed, it is very simple to carve rifling inside the barrel. ”

"As for the production method of this rifling broaching machine, it is also very simple, as long as it is a craftsman who has done carpentry work, he can make it according to this drawing."

Wooden lathes are not a rare thing in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty needs to use wooden lathes to build gun barrels, so although the roles are different, it is not a matter at all for craftsmen to build this kind of lathes.

After Song Yingxing finished speaking, he directly took Lao Zhu to the scene to observe the rifling broaching machine.

Under the fixation of the rifling broaching machine, it only takes a few moments for a barrel to evenly carve out the complete rifling. It's very fast.

At the craftsman's feet, there were already a large number of rifled steel pipes, which he had apparently carved out alone.

After taking Lao Zhu to see the rifling broaching machine, Song Yingxing took Lao Zhu to see the lead Minne bullet poured from the mold, and the production speed was also very fast.

If it is applied in large quantities, with the number of craftsmen in the Ordnance Bureau, the entire Beijing camp will soon be replaced with the latest Mineer rifles.

After seeing this, Lao Zhu was slightly excited in his heart, if he followed this construction speed, it was estimated that by the end of next year at the latest, he would be able to pacify the vast majority of enemies.

And this even includes Jiannu.

However, Song Yingxing and the others not only reported good news to Lao Zhu, they also raised a lot of questions, and they urgently needed Lao Zhu's help to solve them.

For example, Bi Maokang wanted to develop thunder mercury, because with thunder mercury, he could start to develop a breech gun.

In addition to thundermercury, he also wanted to get yellow powder out, because the annotation said that yellow powder was more powerful and could even make shells that could explode.

You know, although there are artillery now, but all of them are solid shells, and if you can make explosive shells, the power of the artillery can be at least doubled.

But these things seem to be a little too advanced, Rao is Bi Maokang has been dealing with firearms for half his life, and he is also a little confused about the production method above.

For example, the absolute ethanol used to make thundermercury, and the phenol used to make yellow powder, Bi Maokang didn't even understand what these things were.

So he asked Lao Zhu for advice, and wanted to ask Lao Zhu if there was such a book with annotations, it was best to write in detail and write more plainly.
