"Fifth brother, he ......" Zhu Biao paused slightly, thought for a while, and then continued: "The fifth brother is very lazy every day, or sleeps until three poles a day, or reads some books on the market. Occasionally, I also went to West Street to wander around, but there was no other movement. ”

"Oh?" Lao Zhu raised his eyebrows, "This rabbit cub has a good life!" ”

“…… Father-in-law, stepmother. Mu Ying lowered her head and thought for a while, and said to Lao Zhu and Queen Ma: "Rong Er'er has the courage to say a word, I see that the fifth brother is waiting for me, and there is no city government." If we ask questions, we will also give them to you. These days, he has told me many ways to improve firearms, such as the 'paper-wrapped gunpowder method', the 'afterloading method', the 'flintlock method', and the more sophisticated 'rifling method' and 'pointed projectile', all of which can greatly increase the power of firearms. ”

"The firearm is a militaristic weapon. No matter which of these methods is, it is worth 10,000 gold, which is enough to determine the success or failure of a national war. If the fifth brother has something else to ask for in his heart, how can he be so peaceful? ”

"yes. Although the fifth brother is also stubborn, he has always been extremely close to Erchen, the younger brother. Even Erchen's wife and fifth brother are also very caring. Zhu Biao also said.

Just now, he also privately pulled Erchen and asked Erchen to get more cow and goat milk, which can strengthen the physique of pregnant women. If it weren't for the son's close relatives, how could he have such a careful thought? ”

The son and the righteous son both spoke out to protect him, and even his wife Ma Shi also looked at his face from the side. Lao Zhu's face was slightly ashamed, and he thought for a while, "Time is still short, let's take a look." ”

"Biao'er, the soap that Lao Wu made out, we have instructed the palace to make it. Turning back to this transaction, it will be merged into the imperial property according to the method of the fifth child. ”

"I'll leave this matter to Lao Wu in charge, don't let him be too idle alone. This man is idle, and he will inevitably be idle. ”

"But he's still young, so you should take care of it first, and on the surface, it should be your business."

“…… Be. Zhu Biao nodded. Mu Ying was a little unbearable for Zhu Su, and raised her head and said, "Doesn't my father-in-law call the fifth brother to talk alone?" ”

“…… There are many things in the DPRK and China now, and we have a lot of things to do...... Later. Lao Zhu thought about it and said.

Zhu Biao and Mu Ying were silent. The carriage has also arrived at the palace gate. Zhu Biao Muying got up to say goodbye, and Lao Zhu drove straight to Kunning Palace with Queen Ma.

“…… Chongba, are you really still suspicious of Xiao Wu? "The son Yizi was still alive before, and it was not good to question her husband, and when the son Yizi was gone, Queen Ma spoke.

"Before Xiao Wu left the palace, he specially instructed them to take care of me. In recent days, they have to come to our palace in the morning and dusk regardless of the wind and sun, which is because they think they can't live up to their brother's advice. ”

"That child is sincere to us, if he knows that we have doubts in our hearts, won't it chill the child's heart?"

“…… We don't want that. Lao Zhu sighed.

Lao Zhu opened the window and brought the watery night outside the window into the house. But his heart was still entangled. "The methods that Lao Wu told me are really good. Not to mention the methods of improving firearms that Ying'er said, let's just say that the cabinet is now on the track, and it only takes a few more years to replace the prime minister. From now on, I will have no worries about the prime minister's dictatorship. ”

"He told us that there are drawbacks in the household registration system, and military households will become a big problem in the future, and we have also sent people from the Gong Wei Division to the people to see it. How many years has the Ming Dynasty been founded, and now there are craftsmen who don't know how to do their craft, and the military households in remote military households are oppressed by thousands of households, and some people have been merged into the fields by large households, and they can't get a way to join their relatives. ”

"We originally thought that our system is seamless, as long as we follow this set, it is enough to make it difficult for the Ming Dynasty to last forever. I didn't expect that after only a few years, there was already something wrong. If this is really passed on like this, it will definitely be completely rotten as the fifth child said! ”

"That'...... Doesn't it show that what Su'er said is true? "Queen Ma said." He should have relieved his doubts! ”

"That's true." Lao Zhu rubbed his furrowed brows. These days, in order to fill these holes in the system, he has spent a huge amount of effort, and he has a strong feeling of inadequacy. "But he doesn't know why, he always hints that we are reckless, tempting us to covet the rivers and mountains beyond the Central Plains......"

"Let the group of Hanlin in the Hanlin Academy rummage through the ancient books, but they didn't find the 'golden mountain', 'god seed' and the like that Lao Wu said. Those Hanlin still thought that I asked for Xianshan, and they all told me that the Central Plains was everything, and all the outside were wild lands, which was the consensus of ancient and modern sages......"

"Let's think about it, what the ancestors of the Han people for so many generations say is more credible than the fifth person who says it, right?"

The civil servants were also scared. We have set up a maritime department that has not yet been shadowed, and these days those officials' concerts are like snowflakes, all saying that my Ming Dynasty has finally expelled Meng Yuan, and the national strength has not yet recovered, and since ancient times, the warlike will die, and it is time to rest with the people first...... He also quoted scriptures and classics, saying that throughout the ages, after which dynasty unified the Central Plains, the first thing was not to recuperate, but to make enemies on all sides non-stop? ”

"The Sui Dynasty did so, but a small Goguryeo completely collapsed the Great Sui! We showed a little bit to Mr. Li yesterday, and Mr. Li's face immediately turned like earth, and asked us to rest with the people, and to focus on the country's society......"

"Do you mean to say that Su'er has no ulterior motives to take advantage of the outside world to lure you to be a master of opening up and expanding the male?" Queen Ma furrowed her eyebrows. "It can't be, can it? Even if there is really a demon, with Emperor Yang Yin Jian in front of you, you Emperor Zhu can't fall for this evil, right? ”

"It's just that guy from the fifth brother, he really said that he moved me." Lao Zhu smiled helplessly. "Sister, we have been making up for these days to make up for these holes in the Ming court. I didn't notice it at first, but now the more I look at it, the more I feel that our Daming is a big straw basket, which is full of holes! ”

"I made up for the top and the bottom, and the left and the right for the right. The more I make up, the more I think, even if our generation builds the Ming Dynasty into an iron bucket, but if there is really a filial son and grandson like Jiajing Tianqi, and a talented dog official like Qian Qianyi, no matter how reliable the system is, it can't stand it! ”

"Su'er is right. There is no such thing as a system that will last forever! The more we think about it these days, the more we feel that the imperial court system has a limit! ”

"In this case, it's better to save more family business...... Lao Zhu looked at the hand-painted "Kunyu Wanguo Map" by Zhu Su on the screen, and drew a large circle on the map with one hand, wrapping Europe, Asia, Australia and the United States and other continents in it. "As long as the family business is big enough, even if there are children and grandchildren of the loser, it can provide them with a few more years of defeat!"

"That's going to ......" Queen Ma looked at his back, a little confused about what Lao Zhu was thinking.

"We can't make up our minds......" Lao Zhu smiled bitterly. We used to be a cattle herder in Fengyang, but now we are the emperor, we can be as open-minded as we can back then, but the higher the status now, the more we feel like walking on thin ice. ”

"If we set the national policy of opening up everywhere, if Lao Wu is really a demon who calamities the country, and the soldiers are exhausted, but there is nothing to gain, won't the Central Plains fall into the war again? Our old Zhu family has become a sinner for all Han people! ”

"We have become the patriarch of this big family in Huaxia, and we will give peace to the Han people in the whole world! Besides, how can such a major event be decided by a small child? ”
