Hearing the news he wanted to hear, Zhu Di didn't feel happy, but began to be unhappy and depressed.

Who is he.

King Yan of the Ming Dynasty.

"I can't imagine that one day we will be forced to the point where we are today."

When he had won a big battle and was full of spirits, he couldn't go home with the soldiers, but he hid like a mouse.

Ge Cheng and Yao Guangxiao hurriedly comforted King Yan.

"King Yan can be so forbearing, he is a true hero." Yao Guangxiao praised.

Although the head of the Qin Palace's history has great power, it also depends on who he is in front of, and when he meets King Yan, he also has to abide by the rules.

It's just that now the situation is sensitive.

King Yan really can't see the chief of King Qin's mansion, so he wants to avoid him.

Met.

The governor of King Qin's mansion asked King Yan if he would help King Qin, so what did King Yan say?

Help.

It is easy to offend the emperor.

Don't help.

Offend the King of Qin.

King Qin is not only the second brother of King Yan, but also has greater power than King Yan.

And the emperor is even less likely to offend.

Just meet in person.

King Yan is bound to offend a person who cannot be offended.

Even if he doesn't choose.

Not making a choice, in fact, making a choice.

How good it is to hide.

However, King Yan has a noble identity and is still the lord of a land, so it is inevitable that his heart is different from ordinary people, and ordinary people don't think it's a big deal, he will be uneasy.

Similarly, it is also the reason why Yao Guangxiao values King Yan.

To be able to endure the dissatisfaction in his heart, not to focus on the momentary anger, and to make a choice that is beneficial to the overall situation, he is the sage.

"When you go back, tell the princess that you will save your family life this year, and you can be frugal with the expenses everywhere, and you can save if you can."

The matter of King Qin, it was his own sin.

It cannot affect Beiping Province.

The great army did win the battle.

But what is there in the grassland?

Those cattle and sheep are not enough to feed the army.

As for the captured armor and weapons.

It's still the old thing that the remnant Yuan brought back from the Central Plains a few decades ago, not to mention that King Yan doesn't like it, and even the soldiers below are unwilling to use it.

I also need domestic supplies of food, military salaries, and cloth, and now I am about to be rewarded, and the expenses in the future can be more.

Fortunately, the casualties are small, otherwise the bereavement pension is an astronomical amount.

Although the court has its own laws, King Yan will not stand idly by and watch as an iron rooster.

Otherwise, who will have the Yanwang Mansion in their hearts.

Ge Cheng understood.

"The eldest prince is quite good at making money."

"It's just a child."

Hearing Ge Cheng's words, Zhu Di didn't take it seriously.

Seeing this, Ge Cheng did not explain.

The eldest prince has more than 2,000 taels of silver in his hand, and it is indeed ridiculous to bring it up.

But it's only been a long time.

Anyway, the silver couldn't run, so Ge Cheng decided to stare at it first.

Otherwise, he would have to go to Xishan in his spare time.

Anything that a wise person does must have a very strong purpose.

"Then the subordinates will leave first, and come to see King Yan tomorrow."

"Go ahead."

Zhu Di sat up straight as he spoke.

"I've worked hard for you these days."

"It's just a subordinate's duty."

Ge Cheng disagreed, nodded to Yao Guangxiao, and got up to leave.

Yao Guangxiao had already gotten up to send him off.

I don't know when King Yan will start to trust himself as much as he trusts this person.

Yao Guangxiao sighed inwardly.

There were only two people left in the house.

Suddenly.

"Dao Yan, what did you not say just now?" Zhu Di's voice sounded slowly.

In the empty room, it turned out to be a little oozing.

This is not like the tone of the original Yan Wang.

Caught off guard, Yao Guangxiao was stunned, and then turned around with the same face as before, looking at Zhu Di with a smile.

King Yan is really sharp-eyed, this time he returned from a big victory, and King Yan's prestige has increased by three points, and King Yan himself has also changed greatly.

than before.

Now the king of Yan is getting more and more vigorous.

A point was added to the city.

The former King of Swallow.

Among the vassal kings, he has the best character, and his heart is "simple".

There is scheming, but not much.

In a flash.

Yao Guangxiao suddenly found that he didn't seem to understand King Yan's thoughts.

So.

What he said just now was a little afraid to say it easily.

Because I can't see through King Yan's mind.

Speak.

Sometimes if you say it wrong, it will lead to disaster.

"There is some news, the poor monk has not yet figured out the truth or falsehood, so he does not dare to say it easily, so as not to mislead King Yan."

Zhu Di looked at Yao Guangxiao deeply.

When he was in Yingtianfu, he offered to follow him to Beiping.

"Since you can't figure it out, let's figure it out as soon as possible and tell us later."

"Yes."

Yao Guangxiao lowered his head.

"Your wine here is terrible."

Zhu Di glanced at the wine jug on the table with disgust.

It seems that there is something in the words.

Yao Guangxiao just didn't know.

"The poor monk didn't know how to drink, so he asked the little novice to buy it, but he didn't expect to buy bad wine, which is a sin."

"Hahaha."

Zhu Di smiled and pointed at Yao Guangxiao.

"The Daoyan monk who everyone praises, there are still things you don't understand, it seems that you still need to learn more from the sages."

"Yes, yes, yes."

That day.

Yao Guangxiao explained to the rest of the monks in the temple, and he actually went out to travel, and no one knew where he went.

No one dared to disturb Zhu Di.

The little novices did not know the identities of the distinguished guests in the room, and the great monks kept their mouths shut.

Zhu Di put down the book in his hand, walked to the window, stared at the dead tree outside that was showing new sprouts, and muttered to himself, "Is the news true?" ”

No one could answer him.

……

Yanwang Mansion.

Zhu Gaochi has been extremely happy recently.

With the support of his mother and Changshi, he can do what he wants to do with all his might.

With the identity of the eldest prince of Yanwangfu, convenient doors are opened everywhere.

Whatever you want, you get.

Ironworks, ironworks, and even military craftsmen.

However, the development of industry is urgent, as the ancients said, there are only two in one, and there are two in everything.

But he didn't want to wait.

I can't wait to take out all the knowledge of the future generations and take root in Daming.

No one dared to disturb the eldest prince scribbling in the study.

The only one who can disturb the eldest prince is Ge Cheng.

Ge Cheng knocked on the door and got permission, and when he came in, he saw papers scattered all over the table, with various drawings on them.

"What are these?"

Ge Cheng picked up two and looked at them, but he couldn't recognize what they were, it seemed to be a steam engine from the mine?

"There is still a lot to improve on the steam engine used in the mine."

Zhu Gaochi said.

A sad look on his face.

He knew how the steam engine worked.

But the principle is the principle, and how to turn it into something concrete is equally important.

"You drew it all yourself?"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head.

"Master Wan took his apprentices to make it, but they encountered a problem, and we didn't think of a solution after thinking about it, so we drew it according to their steam engine to see if we could find a way."

There was a gap of 60 years between the invention of the first steam engine and the advent of the Watt steam engine.

The difference between the two is huge.

The former is more accurately described as a pump.

The structure of the whole steam engine, such as the pillars and cross arms, is not very technical, only the small steam dish is a little technical.

The Watt steam engine is different, after 60 years of development, all the components are refined, and they cannot be made at will.
