Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat

After the dispute, the cabinet ministers agreed that the prince does not need to go to the battlefield in person to practice, and the same is true for dispatching grain and grass in the capital.In the end, the logistics matter still fell on Zhou Hang, but instead of escorting the food to the front line, it was dispatched in the capital.Since he had never been in charge of food and grass before, Lin Ruhai assisted him in fear that he would not be able to take care of it.

After the discussion was over, all the ministers left, and Li Zhao deliberately left Lin Ruhai and Zhou Hang behind.

"Father, what other orders do you have?" Zhou Hang asked.

Li Zhao didn't answer directly, but pointed to the seat beside him, signaling him to sit down.Looking up and seeing Lin Ruhai standing, she said, "Lin Aiqing sit down too."

After Lin Ruhai and Zhou Hang had taken their seats, Li Zhaocai said slowly: "Hang'er, dispatching food and grass is a delicate job, and it is an urgent matter. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers in front of them waiting for the food and grass to live. There must be no mistakes. You I'm still young and haven't gone through such a big event, so I should ask Lin Aiqing for advice on everything."

Then he looked at Lin Ruhai and said, "Ruhai, watch this kid more."

Lin Ruhai stood up and said, "I take orders."

Not long after, Wei Xing'an came in and said, "The son of Prince Jing has arrived." Li Zhao ordered the word to come in.

Li Yu walked in, and the jade tree was facing the wind, which made people's eyes shine.He bowed and saluted, and Li Zhao said to Zhou Hang: "Your cousin is also helping you." Zhou Hang has met Li Yu several times, and feels that this person is very right-tempered, and he is very happy to hear that he wants to work with him , stepped forward with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Your cousin."

Li Yu also hurriedly returned the gift, saying: "Your Highness is so polite, I dare not be a minister."

Li Zhao pointed and laughed, and said to Lin Ruhai, "This kid is well-behaved, but he doesn't look like his father at all."

What can Lin Ruhai say?As for the affairs of the royal family, can an outsider evaluate it casually?They are all their own family members, so they naturally want to say what they want to say after closing the door, but as a courtier, they should not talk about royal affairs.When Li Zhao said these words, he naturally didn't expect Lin Ruhai to comment.So Lin Ruhai didn't say anything, just smiled in cooperation.

Coming out of Li Zhao's main hall, Zhou Hang took Li Yu to his Qilin Palace.

Koizumi was looking forward to it outside the palace gate, when he saw Zhou Hang from a distance, he ran over at a trot as if seeing a savior.The reason why Koizumi stood out from the crowd of young eunuchs was that Zhou Hang relied heavily on him. Apart from being smart and sensible, he was also a steady person, so there were not many times when he panicked.

Zhou Hang frowned and asked, "Why are you so flustered?"

Koizumi glanced at Li Yu, bit his lips, and leaned into Zhou Hang's ear and said, "The queen mother has sent four maids, and they are already waiting in the main hall. Master, would you... want to take a look?"

"What do you send the maids for?" Zhou Hang asked a little puzzled, "There is no shortage of maids in my palace."

"No, master..." Koizumi scratched his ears anxiously, "It's that...then what's the use..." Because Li Yu was also there, Koizumi couldn't explain it too clearly.

Hearing this, Zhou Hang already understood that the Empress Dowager sent him a bed maid, so there was no need for it.However, after all, it was sent by the queen mother. If it was sent back directly, it would be too embarrassing for the queen mother. After thinking about it, Zhou Hang said: "You should make arrangements first, the prince and his cousin have something to do." Then he pulled Li Yu To the study.

On the contrary, Li Yu was a little embarrassed, but it was hard to say about resignation at this moment.

"Cousin sit down." Zhou Hang pointed to a chair and said, with a casual attitude, he did not stand tall just because he was the crown prince, like a brother of an ordinary family.Li Yu hesitated for a moment, seeing that Zhou Hang was not polite, he went over and sat down.

Zhou Hang said again: "Cousin, wait a moment." Then he turned a screen and went away without knowing what to do.

Li Yu stared at the screen in a daze. It was a large purple purlin wooden ivory carved plum blossom screen, which was very rare. He remembered it as a tribute from last year. There were two of them, one big and one small.The Holy One himself used the small one, but gave the big one to the prince. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

While he was in a daze, Zhou Hang came out from behind the screen, holding a strange long tube in his hand, smiled at him, and asked, "Does my cousin recognize this thing?"

Li Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Zhou Hang held the long barrel in his hand, stretched out his other hand and patted it, took out a marble-shaped object, walked over and sat down beside Li Yu, and said with a smile: "This is a Western musket, cousin Have you heard of it?"

After hearing this sentence, Li Yu suddenly said "Oh", as if he had suddenly realized.

"This is the firecracker recorded in "The History of Strange Things," right?"

"I don't want my cousin to have read such a wide range of books, and even read such remote books."

"Qiwu Zhi" is a book that records various arts such as machinery, weapons, guns, bricks and tiles, and ceramics.Because Kedi does not take these things into consideration when selecting officials, it has always been disdainful by scholars, and very few people have read it.Zhou Hang would not have known if he hadn't seen it by chance in Lin's study.

Since Zhou Hang said so, it proves that he has also seen it.There are tens of thousands of books in this world, no matter how energetic and capable a person is, it is impossible to read them all.If he has never read a book, it doesn't matter whether it is remote or not, because he doesn't know what the book talks about, and how can he know that the book talks about remote knowledge.

For example, if you say a place name casually, you will say that if you go to such a dangerous place, you are not afraid of danger, and you are not afraid that you will never return.That means that this person must have at least heard of this place.Otherwise, how would he know that this is a dangerous place.

Li Yu got up and cupped his hands and said: "Since your Highness said so, he must have read this book. In terms of extensive research, there is no more than one minister?"

Zhou Hang felt that if he and Li Yu continued to compliment each other, they would be able to compliment each other till dark.He is not a person who likes to waste time, waved his hand, Zhou Hang smiled and said: "Although this thing is somewhat similar to the firecracker, its function has been improved a lot, and it is much faster than the firecracker in terms of accuracy and reloading speed. As he spoke, he spread his hands, "This is the bullet."

"Is this thing powerful?" Li Yu asked.

"That's needless to say!" Zhou Hang felt that it was necessary to give these ancient people a long-term experience and let them know what high technology is.Thinking about it, he took Li Yu to an open field outside, set up a ten-centimeter-thick arrow target, and aimed a shot at it.It was the first time for Zhou Hang to fire a gun. Although his arm was numb from the recoil for a while, he was unexpectedly happy. He actually hit it, which was beyond his expectation.

Li Yu didn't expect a musketeer to be so powerful, it pierced through the target, and he couldn't recover for a while.

"Cousin?" Zhou Hang called out.

Li Yu came back to his senses fiercely, only admiration remained.If this thing hits a person, it is enough to shoot through the human body, not less powerful than a feathered arrow.No, the distance from the Prince's station has already exceeded the maximum range of the arrow feathers.In other words, the range of this thing is farther than that of Feather Arrow.

Zhou Hang is already talking about his idea. He wants to build a firearms camp and popularize firearms.They also need to find many capable craftsmen to improve muskets, and they also say that they want to create weapons that are ahead of the world.Li Yu didn't understand many of them, but he understood that Zhou Hang's plans were huge, bigger than he, or even everyone's imagination.

"It takes three years to develop a good horseman, but, cousin, do you know how long it takes to train a perfect musketeer?"

"how long?"

Zhou Hang stretched out three fingers.Li Yufeng's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe it.

"Three months?" he said.

"No, it's 30 days." Glancing at Li Yu, Zhou Hang said, "You must not believe it, but let me tell you, it's true. I have ordered someone to buy all the muskets brought back by the Chen family. Thirty in total, I asked my father for thirty guards with high martial arts skills, and after 30 days, you will know that what I said today is not false."

Afterwards, the two discussed how to arrange the food and grass, and drew up a preliminary plan, intending to let Lin Ruhai take a look at it first to see if there was anything missing, and then show it to the emperor.

After this busy work, he was so busy that the sun was setting and he sent Lin Ruhai out of the palace gate, the sky had already darkened.

Today is the end of the month, there is no full moon as bright as a jade plate, only a small crescent crescent like a sickle hangs in the sky, the sky is full of stars looming, and if you look closely, you can see a band of light that seems to be shrouded in smoke. The Milky Way that people often refer to.

In summer, when the sun sets and the breeze blows, it feels cooler. There are more people coming out to enjoy the cool air, and it feels more lively and lively than during the day.

Daiyu also ordered people to move the couch and sit under the crabapple tree.There are a lot of mosquitoes this summer, and the spices used to smoke mosquitoes in the yard still can't get rid of them.Daiyu not only loves the coolness of the courtyard and the beauty of the starry mist, but also really hates the approach of mosquitoes.She waved her round fan and complained: "Tomorrow we have to clean up the weeds in the yard, so as not to feed these mosquitoes."

Hui'er said: "Girl, just lie down, and the servants will drive away the mosquitoes for you."

The maids worked very hard to serve them all day, so Daiyu didn't want to work too hard on them, and it was getting late, so she simply went back to the house.The doors and windows of her house are covered by veils, so there are no mosquitoes, and ice cubes are placed, and it is still cool, but I can’t see the hazy stars, which is a little regrettable.

As soon as she was on the bed, Xue'er grabbed Daiyu's skirt and climbed onto her knees.Daiyu patted its head with a smile, and said with a smile: "You naughty boy, did you break my teacup again?"

Xue'er just meowed, and licked Daiyu's chin to flatter her, almost touching her lips.

Daiyu hurriedly pulled Xue'er down, looked at it seriously and waved her hands, signaling that such things cannot be done in the future.Xue'er was nourished by the spiritual spring and grew up. She is very intelligent. She understands many of Daiyu's gestures and expressions, and she is very obedient. Once she has been warned, she will never do it again.Daiyu was very glad that Zhou Hang wasn't here at the moment. As long as he was jealous, if she saw Xueer's fate, it would be unbearable to look directly at.

Putting Xue'er in the nest, Daiyu opened the window a little to let the cool wind from outside blow in.Sitting in front of the vanity mirror, she took off the hairpin that bound her hair, changed into a tulle pajamas, lay on the bed, and fell asleep not long after.

As the de facto chief assistant of the cabinet, Lin Ruhai is always on the go.Now he has to assist Zhou Hang in dispatching and transporting grain and grass, which is even more busy.The second one is not the time of the court meeting, Lin Ruhai doesn't have to get up before dawn to enter the palace.Usually, he went directly to the yamen to work after breakfast, but he left very early today.
