While the two were talking, Xavier, who had eaten and drunk enough, finally recovered his spirits and said:

"This, my lord, in fact, I have seen these two things.

If you want to promote, I know some cultivation methods here, and I'm happy to work for adults. ”

Jiang Ning listened to this broken Chinese, and was stunned for a moment before understanding.

With the opening of new shipping routes, much of the Americas spread to Europe, and it is not surprising that they have seen it.

He hurriedly laughed:

"It's excellent, of course.

To tell you the truth, I am the commander of the inner factory, and I need talents like the two of you. ”

The two missionaries had been in the capital for a long time, and they knew what the inner factory was, so they immediately rejoiced:

"We do.

By the way, we have a few companions in other places, I don't know adults? ”

"It's okay, just call them together."

Jiang Ning glanced at the two of them who were beaming.

They are still begging in groups.

In fact, there were other reasons why he recruited these missionaries.

When the sea is opened in the future, it will inevitably have to come into contact with foreign countries, and it will be much more convenient to have these people here.

No matter how bad it is, it's good to be a translator.

Zhu Yunming saw that the two blonde and blue-eyed Westerners were so easy, and he entered the famous inner factory, his eyes full of envy.

Jiang Ning noticed the change in his expression and couldn't help asking:

"By the way, I haven't asked Mr. why he came to Beijing this time?"

Zhu Yunming was a little embarrassed and said:

"Don't hide it from your lordship, the fathers and ancestors of the grass people were all important members of the imperial court, and they took them as an example and wanted to do something for the people of the world.

It's just that although the grass people have been studying poetry and books since childhood, and they have made great achievements, they have no way to enter the government and become businessmen.

When I came to Beijing this time, I wondered if I could ask my father's former colleagues and elders to do an errand, but it was just ......"

In the end, Zhu Yunming really didn't have the face to continue.

Jiang Ning immediately said:

"My husband is full of talent and has such ambition, how can he be depressed and sink in the countryside.

Otherwise, I recommend my husband to be a county parent official, although it is not a big official position, but at least there is a starting point, and he will be promoted slowly in the future.

What does the gentleman think? ”

Zhu Yunming only felt joy descending from the sky, so he didn't catch his breath.

"Yes, yes, grass people willing!"

He has been stumbling for half his life, and when he has this opportunity, he is naturally in a hurry to seize the opportunity.

"Lord Lao is worried about the grass people, and the grass people will send people to transport a batch of crops as soon as possible, so that the adults can cultivate grain seeds."

"It couldn't be better."

Next, the two talked and laughed happily, so happy.

After saying goodbye to Zhu Yunming, Jiang Ning took Xavier and the two of them, and found the remaining few missionaries, and brought them back to the inner factory together.

When passing by the school grounds, he found that Zhang He was training the new recruits to use firearms.

He couldn't help but stop and watch.

Seeing that hundreds of people were full of vigor and spirit, Jiang Ning showed a satisfied look.

After noticing him, Zhang He hurriedly greeted him.

"Your Excellency."

"Well, good training. The soldiers in our inner factory want to be like this. ”

Jiang Ning smiled and patted Zhang He's shoulder.

"Don't dare to live up to the trust of adults."

At this time, Nestor stood aside, looking at the scene of the recruits shooting, and suddenly said:

"My lord, the firearms in the hands of these soldiers have a slow rate of fire and a short range, so they don't look very useful."

"Oh?"

Jiang Ning was not angry at his directness, but said with interest:

"Do you still have research on firearms?"

Could it be that he was so lucky today that he picked up two sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks on the way?

One knows how to farm, and the other knows firearms.

Nestor nodded, and immediately asked Jiang Ning for a firecracker, and said:

"My lord, now it's very slow to reload, and it affects the efficiency too much.

So my opinion is that it would be much faster to put a line of fire here and get something to ram and fire. ”

Jiang Ning listened thoughtfully.

He didn't know much about physical chemistry, but after listening to Nestor's introduction, he couldn't help but be inspired.

"Nestor, look, if you change the line of fire to flint and use friction to generate heat to ignite the gunpowder, can you do it?"

"Oh my God, genius idea!"

Nestor exclaimed in surprise and began to talk to Jiang Ning endlessly.

The two talked excitedly for a while before stopping.

Although Zhang He listened to it unclearly, he also inexplicably felt that if it was transformed, it would be very powerful, and he was very excited at the moment.

"Very well, Nestor, you can stay and help me transform and study firearms, I will not treat you badly."

"Oh my lord, God praise and bless you."

At this moment, a fan suddenly ran over and whispered a few words beside Zhang He.

Zhang He was startled, and hurriedly whispered to Jiang Ning:

"Your Excellency, you have a guest from your house. It's been a while, but I haven't been able to find you. ”

"Who?"

Zhang He pointed to the sky.

Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, reacted instantly, and immediately asked him to entertain several missionaries, and hurriedly led people home.

Why did Zhu Houzhao come suddenly?

After he entered the house, he found that there was no one in the lobby, and after asking, he found out that Zhu Houzhao had waited too long and had fun, so he and Li Yuner kicked Keju in the open space in the back garden.

Jiang Ning immediately looked for it.

When he entered the back garden, he saw Zhu Houzhao playing happily.

Li Yun'er and her daughters are also dressed up in men's clothes to play with him.

Hey?

How come there is another one?

Jiang Ning took a look and found that He Yuyao was also inside.

Although she is also dressed as a woman, she still can't hide her charms, and the charm on her face is looming.

Jiang Ning thought about it.

This woman seems to be quite powerful, so she wouldn't have deliberately approached Zhu Houzhao.

In that case......

From beginning to end, Jiang Ning did not completely relax his vigilance against He Yuyao.

"Jiang Shi read?!"

Zhu Houzhao kicked the juju, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Jiang Ning appearing aside, and immediately stopped kicking the ball, and quickly ran towards him.

"Your Majesty......"

"No need to be polite."

Zhu Houzhao smiled and pressed Jiang Ning:

"Jiang Shiyu, since the last time we saw each other in the palace, we haven't seen each other for a long time.

I was bored to death in the palace, so I simply left the palace to find you.

But you're not here, I'm waiting anxiously, but fortunately, Sister Yun'er and a few of them will accompany me to bow. ”

"The minister is terrified."

Jiang Ning looked at Zhu Houzhao's expression, and actually felt that he was a little attached to himself.

He was filled with emotion.

This friendship between kings and ministers is really wonderful.

And Liu Jin, who was standing and waiting on the side, also noticed Zhu Houzhao's demeanor, and even saw a little admiration for Jiang Ning in his eyes.

Unusually close.

Liu Jin couldn't help but feel a little awe of Jiang Ning.

"Your Majesty, how about we go to the study and talk?"

"Okay, it's getting colder, but it's still comfortable in the house."

Jiang Ning immediately led Zhu Houzhao forward.

After Li Yun'er and the three daughters greeted him, they went back to the back house together.

He Yuyao was originally going to leave together, but Zhu Houzhao said:

"Let's go with Gongzi He. You are a distant relative of Jiang Shiyu, and you are so good at kicking, I want to ask you for advice. ”

"Yes."

He Yuyao glanced at Jiang Ning and responded.

Several people immediately walked into the study.

As soon as Zhu Houzhao's buttocks sat next to each other, he said with great interest:

"Jiang Shiyu, when I first came to your house, this relative of yours told me about your fight against the Japanese in Jiangnan, which was really interesting.

I wish I could command the army with you at that time, kill all those damned pirates, and make them invade my people!

Hmph, wait for me to personally lead the army to wipe out the Japanese invaders in the future, and return a peaceful sea to the sea!

Even as we said at the beginning, I want to sail to sea, and I will meet those red-haired and golden-haired barbarian pirates to raise the prestige of my Ming country to the overseas world!

This is the emperor of these hundreds of millions of people! ”

Jiang Ning heard this, and his heart was full of relief.

Immediately, he couldn't help but look at He Yuyao, but saw her wink at her with a smile on her face.

He hurriedly turned his head and said with a look of embarrassment:

"Your Majesty is ambitious, and the ministers are doing everything they can to follow Your Majesty.

Just looking at the current situation, I am afraid that this day is far away. ”

"What? Why is that? ”

Zhu Houzhao anxiously jumped out of his chair.

"Your Majesty doesn't know, the minister went down to the south of the Yangtze River this time and inspected my Daming Sailor, but it has been eroded to the point that there are only two or three small boats.

Even when the Japanese invaded, they could only passively defend and barely hold the sea frontier.

This is not enough, but they are even more uncompetitive, and they are often defeated by the Japanese invaders, so that they will kill and come ashore, and wantonly kill and plunder our Ming people! ”

Zhu Houzhao was shocked when he heard this: "How can this be?!" ”

As he spoke, he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, his face sinking like water.
