The first dude in the Qing Dynasty

After having dinner with Anderson, Yin Zuo took him to the Lin Mansion.

Physician Duan and the cook had already moved back to the county prince's mansion. Except for some hired laborers, there were only more than 30 guards left in Lin's mansion. Based on the principle of not using it for nothing, Yin Zuo called them together and asked Are they willing to go to sea with Anderson?

The job is to assist and supervise Anderson to complete the tasks he arranged. The advantage is that they have a share of the benefits obtained by the ship going to sea.If you agree, you will be given 200 taels of silver per person to settle down first, and then go directly to buy a boat and go to sea.

There were more than 30 people, and none of them refused directly.

Xiaoban immediately agreed that these people were neither greedy for life nor afraid of death, and they had nothing to worry about, and it was just a money transaction with the people behind them. Although those people gave a lot of money, compared to the benefits of going to sea, this little money It's not enough to watch.

The other half of the people said that they should think about it, presumably to seek the opinions of their family members and the master behind them, Yinzuo also readily gave them three days.

However, far from taking three days, the next morning at the latest also brought a positive reply, that is to say, all his more than 30 guards have now become his crew.

It was Chen Zhuo who surprised Yin Zuo the most. After all, Chen Zhuo had a different status. Yin Zuo didn't count him in at all, but he actually went there on his own initiative.

"What's the matter? Fever?" Yinzuo reached out and touched his head: "The great cause of anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty has not been completed yet, so you want to be a deserter?"

Chen Zhuo slapped his hand away and said, "Don't move!"

Yin Zuo made a joke about anti-Qing and Fuming, but Chen Zhuo was surprisingly not angry. He sat down on the chair and said lightly, "Do you think I'm ridiculous?"

The joke faded from Yinzuo's face, he sat down beside him, and said, "Stop playing, hurting the spring and autumn is not for you, Chen Zhuangshi."

Chen Zhuo sneered, and looked up at the roof: "I came to the capital with enthusiasm, thinking that I would do something grand, but the truth is, I don't know what to do."

"I have practiced martial arts for 20 years, but I am not sure that I can escape from the firecracker you made in two days! I believe that I am dedicated to saving the people, but I am helpless in the face of the devastation... Kangxi is the one who relieved the disaster, and Kangxi the one who healed the river. It was Kangxi who saved people! Even a useless prince is more knowledgeable and useful than me in the face of drought! I hate the barbarians for occupying my land and offending my people, but for thousands of years, how many emperors can make the grassland All the ministries bowed their heads and followed their ears, not daring to invade our middle land..."

"But, but so what... how many Han people died in Yangzhou Ten Days and Jiading Three Massacres?" Chen Zhuo's voice gradually became louder: "Shouldn't revenge be paid for killing relatives and destroying the country? Because if you have a Mingjun, you can erase all this?!"

Yin Zuo sat quietly on the side, silent.

Chen Zhuo was silent for a long time, then sneered again, and said again: "But...whether it's trouble or assassination, it's not that I don't want to do it, it's not that I can't do it, but I don't dare...I don't dare to fucking dare! I I dare not bring the flames of war to this land that needs recuperation, I dare not, seeing the hope in the eyes of the people turn into despair again, I dare not let the Mongolian iron cavalry trample on this river and mountain again... Fuck me Don't dare... I don't dare to fucking!"

Seeing Chen Zhuo vigorously slapping the table, Yinzuo sighed softly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Then go for a walk! The world is so big, you should go and see it."

He understood the pain in Chen Zhuo's heart, but he couldn't resolve it for him, or, no one could resolve it.Maybe when he reads more and understands more, he will figure it out.

With Chen Zhuo here, many things became easier.Although the standpoints are different, Yinzuo still trusts Chen Zhuo's character, so he simply didn't even send the accountant, and directly handed over the money to Chen Zhuo, and let him take care of it - based on his experience and connections in the rivers and lakes , and will not let people be fooled casually.

-

"Master..." Wang Cai was quite dissatisfied with this result, and said, "Master, you clearly know that these people have bad intentions, why didn't you even send a reliable person, what should they do if they take the money away later?" ?”

Yinzuo Dingding looked at him and said, "But I can't bear to prosper you..."

"Ah?" Wangcai was stunned, why did he get involved with himself?

Yinzuo sighed quietly: "Aside from you, Wangcai, there is no reliable person by my side..."

Seeing that Wangcai's sad tears were about to fall, Yinzuo couldn't help laughing, this kid is too funny.

Wangcai didn't know he was being fooled, so he left angrily: "You slave, feed Hong Fu!"

As the favored prince, Yinzuo has a lot of convenience, and after he was promoted to the county king, he was assigned a collar and a coat, how could he not even find a confidant?It's just that he didn't bother to look for it.If he really wants to employ people, since he was a child, he has helped countless civil servants, military officials, guards, and court ladies. Even the slaves in the palace, the people who listen to him are no less than those who listen to the prince.

In the evening, Yinzhen came, and he handed out another stack of bank notes, saying: "Isn't the money enough to spend?"

6 taels of dogs, 10 taels of birds, 20 taels of sea boats... Yin Zuo spent more than just money in the past two months.

Yinzuo smiled and said, "This should be your private money, brother four, right? I don't have any big expenses for now, so I don't need it. You should keep it for yourself, brother four!"

Those supermarkets are not money printing machines, how can so much money come in a short time.

Yinzhen said: "You are still building a garden. If you suddenly become frugal, it will make people suspicious. Don't worry, I am in charge of the household department anyway. No matter how poor you are, you can't be poor. You just care about the flowers That's it."

When Yinzuo saw this, he was not as polite as him, and reached out to take it - it's actually quite cool to be used to such things as being ordered to prodigal.

Yinzhen asked again: "Your ship is going to sea, do you need me to send some reliable people to follow?"

Yinzuo shook his head and said: "No need, those people use it very smoothly, with good skill and ability, and they can also pass the news to their master generously, so I have to go around talking about it myself, I spent money to buy a boat or something... Anyway, there is nothing to do on the boat, the worst thing is to lose some money, it doesn't matter."

Yinzhen fingered the teacup for a long time before suddenly asking, "Who does Chen Zhuo belong to?"

Yinzuo was stunned, then smiled, and said, "My people."

Yinzhen looked at him fixedly: "Your man?"

"Well, my man." Yinzuo knew that Yinzhen would ask this question, and said with a smile: "You know that I learned my kung fu from a few Han masters. Later, when I opened my house, I stopped studying and practicing martial arts in the study room. They all left. Chen Zhuo came here with a letter written by one of them, saying that he was his personal disciple, and that martial arts are better than blue. He couldn't bear the heart of Chen Zhuo's good kung fu to be buried in the countryside, so he wrote a letter Come and let me reward him with a future—speaking of which, he can be considered my senior brother!"

He also said: "He is a bit informal, but his character is still trustworthy, and his martial arts are first-rate - to be honest, I have never seen anyone with better kung fu than him, such a talent, there is no need to regret it. "

Yinzhen frowned and said, "It's Han Chinese after all, it can be used, but it can't be trusted."

Yinzuo said: "Fourth brother, don't worry, I can save it. It's just entrusting some money, so I don't believe it."

-

After sending Yinzhen away, Yinzuo packed up and went to the palace.

After entering the palace, look for Concubine De first, but it's a pity that Concubine De is so focused on her little grandson that she has no time to talk to him—the Tong Jia family is gone, and there is not even a side Fujin in Yinzhen's mansion, so it is impossible to send the concubine out of the family. The eldest elder brother will hand it over to the concubine Gege?I didn't feel at ease just handing it over to Concubine De, so I simply asked Kangxi to take it with me and raise it first, and then send it back when Yinzhen married Jifujin.

She is old and has no favours. Even if Kangxi came here, it was just to have a meal and talk together. The sons either opened a mansion by themselves, or went to elder brother's house, and they could not see each other for a few times a month. Now Having a little grandson by my side can just relieve my loneliness.

After talking with Concubine De, and teasing her little nephew, Yinzuo went to find Kangxi.

Kangxi was not as free as Concubine De. When Yinzuo went, he was talking to several cabinet ministers of Li Guangdi, and the crown prince was also on the sidelines. Yinzuo didn't bother. He read the book in the side hall and was called in. At this time, only Kangxi and the prince were left in it.

"You don't go to the Three Treasures Palace now for nothing, and I can't invite you normally... Tell me, why do you come to see me today?"

"Huang Ama," Yin Zuo said with a straight face, "my son has no money to spend..."

Kangxi spit out a mouthful of water, coughed a few times, managed to calm down, pointed at him and said: "I see you should have no money to spend!"

"6 taels of silver to buy a dog, 10 taels of silver to buy a bird... and now I'm going to buy a sea boat again. Why don't you feel bad when you spend it? Now you know that you are crying poor with me?"

Yin Zuo said confidently: "The 10 taels were still carried in Yin Zhen's pocket, and the boy had the cheek not to return it to me. What can my son do? There are also sea boats, Huang Ama, you know that my son is just such a hobby, like Those strange things outside, but relying on the occasional bits and pieces brought by those merchant ships, seem to be scratching the surface... Huang Ama, you don’t allow your son to go to sea, what else can your son do except buy a boat by himself?"

"You still make sense, right?" Kangxi was amused by him, and scolded: "If you have the ability to buy a boat, don't cry poor if you have the ability!"

"I don't care!" Yinzuo said: "If you don't help my son, Ama Huang, my son will take the things bestowed by Curry to the pawnshop for money!"

Seeing Kangxi gasping for breath, Yin Zuo let go of his breath again, and begged: "Huang Ama, if you really don't care about your son, he will only be able to eat bran swallowed vegetables this winter, Huang Ama... Huang Ama... ..."

Kangxi was so tortured by him that he had no choice but to call Liang Jiugong, who was giggling beside him, and said, "Go, give him 10 taels of silver in my internal treasury."

Seeing Yin Zuo's brows open and smiling, he warned again: "Just this time, if you mess around like this again, I won't care about you!"

Yinzuo sneered again and said, "Huang Ama, isn't the House of Internal Affairs building a garden for my son? Let them build it together... The garden on the outskirts of my son was built slowly and rough. The craftsmanship of the government..."

Kangxi snorted coldly: "Do you think they are rough, or do you have no money to pay?"

Yinzuo laughed dryly: "Aren't they all the same..."

It's slow and rough without money!

Kangxi had always had nothing to do with Yinzuo, and knew that 10 taels of silver would not be enough to spend on the garden, so he said helplessly, "I see, I will give Hailaxun an order."

Yin Zuo thanked him with a smile.

After reaping the benefits at Kangxi's place, and having lunch, Yinzuo left the palace. As soon as he went out, he waved his hand and bought another piece of land in the suburbs.

Kangxi, who got the news, almost spat out old blood, and angrily slapped the table on the table for Yinzhen, Yinzhen, Yinzhi, and Yinhu who were going back and forth: "From now on, if the sixth child cries for poverty again, no one is allowed to talk to him!"

Yinbi said sourly: "Huang Ama, my son is poorer than the sixth son, how can I lend him money...you should manage it yourself, if he has no money, he will definitely come to you first."

What he wanted to say more was: You want to shoot the table and shoot at the sixth son, why are you shooting at us!Didn't our brothers dare to ask you for money.

Of course, these words are still going around in my stomach.

-

In order not to let the kid know that he was a prodigal, Kangxi simply sent him a job to manage the newly built workshop and start making guns in batches.

Kangxi really worried too much. After he didn't have to spend his own money to repair the garden, the 10 taels of silver would be enough for Yin Zuo to spend a long time.

So Kangxi didn't see Yinzuo for a long time, and he couldn't even be found at Concubine De.

Kangxi saw that Yinzuo was angry, but he thought about it when he didn't see it. He also wanted to see how the firearms workshop was working, so he decided to go to him in person, and brought all the sons who happened to be by his side, plus a few The cabinet ministers left the palace.

The defense of the Firearms Workshop is comparable to that of the Forbidden City, with three steps for one post, five steps for one sentry, and 24 novels non-stop patrols. The guards are extremely strict. Kangxi went into the inner layer very satisfied, and then froze...

What about people?

Something?

What about the skilled craftsmen and gunpowder masters carefully selected from all over the country?

What about the best stoves, charcoal, coal, iron ore, and iron tires deployed from the Ministry of Internal Affairs?

Not even a bird feather in it!Not to mention the completed hand guns and fire guns.

With so many guards, just guard an empty house!

With Kangxi's self-cultivation, he was almost out of breath, and said angrily, "What about people!"

The manager in charge of the daily workshop operation almost shrunk into his chest, and replied tremblingly: "Zhuangzi in the suburbs..."

"What kind of Zhuangzi in the suburbs?"

The steward said: "It's a piece of land bought by Master Liu in the suburbs..."

Kangxi waved his sleeves: "Not leading the way yet!"

This time, the place Yin Zuo bought was a little far away from the capital, and the few people rode on horseback for half an hour before they arrived. It was very lively inside, and there was a rumbling sound coming from a distance.

The door was open, and there was no one at the door. Kangxi brought people in, and just came in so casually. When the people working inside saw it, they didn't even ask a question, and they were busy on their own.

Kangxi and the others walked around the rumbling monsters, and finally found a person who looked a bit more relaxed, and asked, "What is this?"

"Don't you know this? This is an iron-making blast furnace, which can turn iron ore into iron and flow out into molten iron." The man looked at several people with contempt, and replied: "This thing has been around since the Western Han Dynasty. But Sixth Brother made some changes, and changed the burning of charcoal to charcoal, the temperature inside is higher, the speed is faster, and the iron is also produced well."

"And these few too?"

"No, that's for frying steel," the man said, "but Brother Six added a blower to the bottom, and he insisted on changing the name. It’s just a good thing.”

He seemed very dissatisfied with Yinzuo's name change, and he spoke in an angry tone.

Yinbi asked, "What is fried steel?"

The man glared at him and said, "Don't you even know about frying steel? It is recorded in Volume 72 of the "Taiping Jing": "Let the engineer hit the smelting stone, ask the iron to smelt it, and make it into water, and then make the good worker ten thousand." To forge it is to become Moyeye.’ It’s about frying steel.”

Yinfei still didn't understand what he heard, but Kangxi understood, and asked, "Is there any finished product? Show us."

The man pointed casually, and said, "That's the warehouse, go and see for yourself! I'm still busy!"

Kangxi frowned and said: "Whoever comes, you let them come in and look around?"

The man pointed at the person in charge, and said, "Isn't this man some kind of official? The man he brought here shouldn't be some bad guy, right?"

Kangxi was speechless for a while, waved him back, and took people to the so-called warehouse. In the warehouse, there was a messy pile of gun barrels, gun stocks and other parts. The quantity was far beyond Kangxi's imagination, but the management was chaotic , and far beyond his imagination.

Kangxi picked up two gun stocks at random, and found that the shape, weight, and size of the two guns were exactly the same. After a little testing of the quality, they were actually good.

Yinzhen said: "This should be cast by pouring molten iron directly into the mold, but it is rare that the quality is better than ordinary wrought iron."

It seems that those big monsters should have made it. The things are good, but...there is such a huge warehouse, which is full of gun parts, and the door is wide open, and there is no guard. It is really...

Not only Kangxi, but even the accompanying people were speechless.

There was an eerie silence, two people came in carrying the box, dumped the things on the ground casually, turned around and left without even looking at the people in the room.

Yinzhen stopped someone and said, "Where is Sixth Brother?"

The man's eyes lit up immediately: "Do you know Brother Six?"

Yinzhen nodded, the man swept away his previous ignorance, grabbed his sleeve excitedly, and said, "Then can you tell Sixth Brother, don't let us do this? Although we are also struggling , but they can be regarded as craftsmen, and the craftsmanship of blacksmithing is first-class, and everyone in the four villages and eight townships knows it. But look, we are here now, doing all kinds of moving things, what is this called? !"

Yinzhen said: "Okay, I'll go and tell. You tell me where he is first?"

The man pointed to a piece of house opposite, and said: "It's a coincidence that you guys came here. Brother Six is ​​here. He should be recording something in that row of houses now. You have to hurry up, he will leave every time he finishes memorizing."

The large row of houses looks neat from the outside, but in fact they are all opened up inside. There is nothing in the empty houses, only iron rulers half-submerged in the water. At first glance, the scene is very grand.

In addition to Yinzuo and Wangcai, there was another person in the house, who followed closely behind Yinzuo, and said: "Although the Jiawu is also rusty, it is wear-resistant and has good hardness. If it can withstand high temperatures, use it as a gun." It’s better than ever before.”

Yin Zuo said: "Then you try it, if it's really good, you can melt all the barrels you made before and make them again."

"Yes."

"Is there any stainless one?"

"There are places that rust slowly, but none that don't rust at all."

"Then use rusty ones and slow down, and try again with a little more or less material." Yinzuo sighed: "If you can't get it out again, Erniang will be unhappy..."

Kangxi pushed the door and entered, and said: "Why can't it be made that Concubine De is going to be angry?"

"Huang Ama?" Yin Zuo hurriedly paid his respects, and finally replied: "Didn't I make a juicer for Er Niang before? Er Niang said it was easy to use, and promised to give one to each of the empresses. But when the son arrived Where can I find so much corundum? I thought about using modified iron blades, but the iron was soaked in acid water and rusted badly, so I wanted to make a kind of steel that would not rust, so that I could make a juicer for my mother. "

In order to make a juicer, I want to make a steel that will not rust...

Kangxi compared his fingers again and again, but in the end he couldn't hold back, and poked Yinzuo's forehead: "Dare you put up such a big battle just to make a juicer for your mother?"

"Well," Yin Zuo said as a matter of course, "Er Niang just wants a few juicers. If a son can't even satisfy this little wish, what kind of son is he?"

My son is filial, what else do you say?

Kangxi said: "Then what's going on outside?"

Yin Zuo said blankly: "It's not Ama, you said you want to mass-produce it?"

One person holds a sledgehammer and hammers out bit by bit. Can that be called mass production?Even if a hundred blacksmiths strike together, it can't be called a batch, right?

I managed to make the blast furnace and converter. Although it is a simplified version and a small version, it is also worthy of praise, right?How about hitting people's enthusiasm like this!

Kangxi endured and endured, and said: "I won't talk about things, why are there no guards outside? There are no guards in the warehouse. The door is open and you can enter if you want, and get out if you want. Is it plausible?"

Yinzuo blinked, and said blankly: "Does my son have to take care of this?"

"You..." Kangxi waved his hands weakly, and said, "Forget it! Forget it! Can I send someone to take care of it myself?"

"But this is my son's Zhuangzi!"

Kangxi looked at him: "So?"

Yin Zuo became excited, and said: "So how about Huang Ama giving back another son? My son bought a piece of land in Xiaotangshan. You can help me build a Zhuangzi. This winter will kill my son..."

"Fix it!" Kangxi gritted his teeth and said, "I'll fix it for you!"

The author has something to say: industrial matters are purely YY, please do not take the truth seriously, please please...

The so-called "science popularization": The so-called picking up cotton by the whole people is probably a major feature of Xinjiang's agricultural and animal husbandry farms. When the cotton harvest comes, all government agencies, hospitals, schools, and factories All employees have to go to the ground to pick up cotton, including elementary school four. All students above the grade, owners of individual small shops, etc... Because Duoduo is a staff member of a group in southern Xinjiang, there is also a daily task of 45 kilograms, but because there is a seven-month-old baby who needs to be fed, so he only needs to go to the ground every day After a long time, I only have time to write some words...
