Daming Junior Scholar

I can't tell whether he is right or wrong, but He Jia'an has a faint idea in his heart. After Tang Hao and others get familiar with this place, he will change Tang Lin's environment. For example, He Jia'an in the fish pond last time. With this kind of thinking, let Tang Lin go to the fish pond to be a head catcher first, and practice for a while. Presumably, when the magistrate Hu Buyonghu comes, he should not object to his arrangement.

Although he frightened Zhu Yi away, He Jiaan didn't think he would let it go. The role of Fran's machine gun is really important. Whether it is siege, water battle or field battle, it can have unexpected effects. This kind of big killer is only in the hands of the Ming army, so no matter how well prepared King Ning is, I am afraid he will not dare to start a war lightly.

But if he also has the Franco cannon... I am afraid that war will soon break out on the land of the Central Plains.

No matter who wins or loses, the people who suffer are probably ordinary people.

Therefore, if you don't want this kind of thing to happen, then you must always protect the secret of the Franc cannon.

Except for Zhou Jing who knew about it, the others, especially old man Bai, were deliberately concealed. Even though he kept nagging, He Jiaan never had the idea of ​​removing the guards around him. In order to prevent the old man from having For any other ideas, He Jia'an also specifically told him that if his current prestige was passed back to the capital, he might be envious of those old people.

Hearing this, Mr. Bai felt a lot happier. He is old, and he just wants to show his prestige among these old people, but those people can't see them anymore, so he can only play in this Pazhou Prefecture.

Although the last artillery test was a failure, the old man was not disturbed by the emotion of failure. After the artillery factory was rebuilt, he made a new type of Franco cannon very quickly. This time, the old man was also influenced by the Franji prototype gun, and specially added an iron trolley under the gun body. Although this made the gun body heavier, it was much easier to move. .

After a month and a half, it finally came to the day of the test firing. In order to sweep away the haze of the last time, besides He Jiaan, Xu Wen, who had been busy with the construction of the coastal fort, also rushed back. Unfortunately, although the fort was built, , but it was too late to pull the cannon. This time, when I heard that the coastal cannon was finally fired again, I hurried back.

There is still a while before the test firing, but He Jiaan and Xu Wen have already arrived at the test firing position early, watching Mr. Bai and his gang adjusting the artillery from a distance, Xu Wen suddenly pulled He Jiaan aside, looked Seeing that there was no one around, I deliberately lowered my voice and asked, "Brother He, I heard that Prince Ning's young prince came to Paju a while ago?"

He Jiaan didn't deliberately conceal this news, so there should be many people who know about it. It's just that Xu Wen, who has been active outside, is not on this list. How did he know?

He Jiaan nodded first, and then asked curiously, "Where did Brother Xu hear the news?"

"Is there really such a thing?" Hearing that the rumors were true, Xu Wen couldn't help becoming anxious for He Jia'an, and said bitterly, "My brother is confused."

"Oh, why?" He Jiaan's heart warmed up, and from Xu Wen's attitude, he knew that he should be very concerned about himself.

Xu Wenchang sighed and said: "My brother, have you forgotten that at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was because of the cutting of the Tubo that caused chaos in the world. Although it has been hundreds of years, the royal family's vigilance against these Tubo kings has not weakened, especially For an official like you who holds great power, there is no time to hide, why do you deliberately lean up, what should you do now, I am afraid that Li Fu's book has already been placed in front of the emperor."

After hesitating for a while, Xu Wen said: "If this is not the case, you should immediately write an apology letter, saying that you did not know that person was King Ning's young prince, so you made a big mistake and asked the emperor to punish him. Since you are the first offender, the emperor can only scold you a few words at most."

He Jiaan's heart warmed even more, he patted Xu Wen's shoulder with a smile, and said in a low voice, "Brother Xu is overthinking, but the matter is actually not as serious as you think."

"Why is it not serious, Brother He, if this matter is investigated carefully, it will be a serious crime of beheading."

He Jiaan quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother Xu, listen to me first, okay?"

"Okay, tell me."

"Actually, a few years ago, when I was still a commoner, I already knew Prince Ning, and this little prince and I still have a mentor-student relationship."

After hearing He Jiaan's first sentence, Xu Wen was already stunned, did he hear it right?He Jia'an has already known King Ning, and even had a mentorship with the young prince?

Perhaps this news shocked him greatly, and he didn't react for a while, but He Jiaan continued: "I used to search along the coast to find some painting materials, but I never thought that I would encounter Japanese pirates' invasion. ..."

Then, He Jiaan recounted what happened at that time from the beginning to the end, including that after he defeated the Japanese pirates, he specially asked the emperor for credit, and then the emperor sent King Ning to reward him. After his kindness, there was no way to help him form a militia. In the end, the militia disbanded and returned to Qingjiangpu by himself.

The story was a bit long to tell, but after Xu Wen patiently listened to it, the expression on his face finally became more normal, and he nodded slowly and said: "So that's the case, does the emperor know that Brother He is under King Ning's tent?" Effectiveness?"

"Of course I know, how can I hide this kind of thing, in fact, this time the young prince didn't really want to relive the old things when he came to Paju."

"Brother He means...?" Xu Wen vaguely heard something wrong.

He Jia'an raised his head and nodded the Fran's machine gun not far away, and softly snorted: "The purpose of his coming here is actually to get the Fran's machine gun."

"What?" Just from this point alone, Xu Wen keenly sensed something was wrong. As King Ning, he enjoys the glory and wealth, so what's the use of him thinking about the Franc cannon?Is it possible...

He Jiaan shook his head with a smile, and said in a low voice: "I know what brother Xu wants to say, but there are some irrelevant things, only God knows, Earth knows, you know, I know, until the last moment, we will You must not say it out loud, as for what happened to the little prince in Paju, I have already written a letter and sent it to the capital in [-] miles, as for what the emperor thinks about it, that is his business."

Seeing He Jiaan's full confidence, Xu Wen knew that he was worrying too much. With He Jiaan's mind, he could naturally distinguish the priorities of this matter. It just so happened that the artillery had been prepared, and the topic between the two of them had come to an end.

Chapter 1224 My family is happy

Chapter 1224 My family is happy

No accidents happened. After the bang of the cannon, the target set on the distant sea was instantly blown to pieces.

Everyone applauded unanimously. Last time, because of the bomb that blew up the entire artillery factory, everyone was under a certain amount of pressure in their hearts. This pressure was not brought to them by He Jiaan, but as the producer of the artillery. , but failed to control the artillery, this is what made them feel ashamed.

But fortunately, the mistakes were finally corrected by everyone, and the next step is to perfect this work.

Among them, Xu Wen is the happiest. These days, I have built three coastal forts nearby. I have built more forts because there are no artillery, so I can’t leave here. The final size of the artillery can also be built faster. At that time, you only need to mount the artillery, and you can use the unparalleled power of the artillery to deter those Japanese pirates.

As for what I reminded He Jiaan just now... just pretend that I never said it.

While everyone was busy congratulating, a fast horse galloped over from outside the artillery factory. After checking the badge outside the artillery factory, this man rushed to He Jiaan's side immediately, and said in a panic: "My lord, There are people from the capital in the government office."

"Oh?" He Jiaan was startled, and quickly asked, "Did they say anything?"

The visitor nodded and said, "I heard that the fourth wife gave birth."

In this era of lack of medical care, even if there is an imperial doctor in the palace to deliver the baby, whether the mother's life can be saved depends on God's will. When he heard that Su Yunya gave birth, He Jiaan immediately breathed a long sigh of relief. For a while, he didn't care about any coastal defense artillery, and immediately turned back to the government office.

Sure enough, as soon as He Jiaan entered the living room of the government office, what He Jiaan saw was none other than Tang Qing's great apprentice Xu Can. When He Jia was in peace, he hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Mr. He, the fourth lady gave birth to Linzi seven days ago, and now the mother and child are safe."

Mother and son are safe.

There is no news that excites me more than these four words. He Jiaan's hanging heart finally fell down, and he said quickly: "Brother Xu must be exhausted these days, go take a rest first, other things It’s not too late to talk about it after you rest.”

Seven days of running around without sleep, even if Xu Can's body was made of iron, he couldn't bear it. Before going to rest, he took out another letter from his arms, handed it to He Jiaan and said, "This letter is from He Jiaan. As Madam entrusted, after Sir has read it, if you have any reply, you can give it to me to bring it back."

After receiving the letter, the words on it were indeed Chen Yueying's handwriting. After He Jiaan nodded, he asked the maid at home to take Xu Can down to rest. After he left, he tore open the envelope in the living room and took the letter inside. out.

The letter was very long, and it was full of Chen Yueying's and others' longing for He Jiaan. It also wrote about the process of Su Yunya's birth. He specially asked He Jiaan to name his son so that he could take it home. He looked very carefully, but at the end, there were still some subtle changes in his eyes.

Chen Yueying mentioned that the emperor sent an imperial doctor to deliver the baby, and the empress dowager came to see her in person the next day. She specifically mentioned that after Su Yunya was confinement, she would take her with her. The son went to live in the palace for a few days, but they didn't mention how long he would stay.

Just through a few words, He Jiaan knew that Chen Yueying might also understand that their original plan might not come true. It was natural for He Jiaan to lead the army and have a few concubines with him, but if even his son and daughter If he carries them all, what checks and balances does the emperor have on him?

So after figuring it out, Chen Yueying vaguely mentioned this matter, telling He Jiaan not to worry, even though there is no way to reunite right now, everyone will be reunited in a few years.

Not to mention a few years, I'm afraid He Jia'an can't wait for a few months. It's just that the navy is newly built, and not even a warship has been built. It will take a few years to build the coastal fort. We only had the chance to meet each other when we returned to Beijing to report on our work.

The spread of the news of the He family's birth was not very wide. Except for some very close people who came to congratulate, not many outsiders came to congratulate. After two days of excitement, the quietness of the home was restored.

It's just that there are still some changes in the mansion.

Perhaps it was because she was afraid that the stubborn Su Yunya would take the child away. From the day she gave birth, the defense of the entire He family was taken over by the left guard of the government army. This kind of treatment is probably the only one among the ministers. So, actually use the emperor's personal soldiers to defend the home of a minister.

Although they are not used to it, they are considered to be in harmony with each other, and everyone is living in peace. It's just that Zhengde's arrangement has unintentionally disrupted someone's plan.

Just at the entrance of the alley where the He family is located, it has suddenly become lively in the past few days. Some small vendors who don’t know where they came from bought the location here at a high price. When the flowers are in place, then I will naturally move them away.

The strange thing about these people is that here, they obviously spent a lot of money to buy the location, but the business is extremely indifferent, and they don't care much about the things they sell. Sometimes even if someone comes to buy, they often It's all bad words at each other, just drive people away.

However, having said that, they are still more enthusiastic about one kind of people, that is, the maids who come out of the He family to buy, they are often greeted with smiles, and the prices they give are much lower than other traders. Kung fu has become acquainted with these people.

When it was time to close the stall again, seeing that no one from the He family came out, a few people picked up the stall helplessly. After walking a few alleys, they suddenly got into a big house on the side of the road and threw away the goods in their hands. , and then walked into the room with an unhappy expression. When they saw the handsome young man sitting in the room, several people hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "I have seen the little prince."
