Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 126 Pragmatism
Zhu Yue sternly criticized his brother who was not up to date, feeling a little helpless for this little bastard's rampant lawlessness, and hated iron for being weak.

Zhu Yunxi didn't care, and said with a smile, "Second sister, elder brother gave me an order. From now on, I will come forward to do some things that the emperor can't do. From now on, I will only eat, drink, play, run amok, and be an annoying bastard." Lord."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Yue was a little skeptical, and asked angrily, "Brother Huang is so talented, why do you need to come forward to do something?"

Zhu Yunxie said triumphantly, "It's not good for the emperor to be jealous, and it's not good to go to some brothels. If there are some civil servants and military generals who are not up to date, the younger brother must beat them first, so that the elder brother can punish them. "

Zhu Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then she was a little worried, "Little brother, you should think clearly. If you accept this errand, you will lose your reputation in the future."

"What's the use of my fame?" Zhu Yunxi didn't care, and said with a smile, "Besides, my younger brother has already figured it out. As long as the elder brother takes care of him, no matter how much those people say, it's bullshit. Eldest brother, he is worse than the emperor's grandfather." Shortcut."

Zhu Yue also laughed, but lowered his voice, "Brother Huang doesn't know how to take care of other people, that's why you don't worry about it."

At this time, Wang Chengen came over, "Your Highness, dinner is ready."

Zhu Xiongying really didn't want his younger brother to become a virtuous king, or hoped that his elder brother would do such earth-shattering events.However, Zhu Xiongying also hopes that his little brother can help him occasionally, not just to spend time and drink.

What's more, my younger brother has a special status, and there are many things that are suitable for my younger brother to come forward, which can break the situation very well.

For example, when we arrived in Beiping, Zhu Xiongying gave the opportunity secretly.This kid is not just a county king with an empty status now, he is also starting to try to do some tasks, although it may just be some tasks that don't seem to be particularly on the table.

This time Zhu Yunxi was excited. His task was to help the eldest brother get in touch with some sons of the noble family. His main task now was to help the eldest brother to investigate reliable manpower, or the manpower that the eldest brother thought worthy of attention.

Spending time and wine, hunting on horseback, although hunting on horseback is not of interest, but it can be regarded as an outing.

Xu Miaoqing was a little worried, but she still persuaded, "Husband, my younger brother is a little out of character, I'm afraid it will be a bit embarrassing for him to do such a big thing."

"Look down on my family Yunxi?" Zhu Xiongying feigned anger, and said angrily, "Although Yunxi has a temper and can't bear hardships, but one thing is good, that is, he has a sense of propriety and doesn't mess around. With his status, he can be considered a bit of a fool." It's okay, for the sake of Grandpa Huang and me, everyone just pretended it was nothing."

As for why he didn't say it was for the prince's sake, the main reason was that Da Zhu didn't like Zhu Yunxie, and many people knew it more or less.

If it was before, Xu Miaoqing would be very frightened by Zhu Xiongying's feigned anger.But it's different now, she knew that if Zhu Xiongying was really angry, she wouldn't say these things, and she also knew what Zhu Xiongying was really angry about.

Zhu Yue brought Zhu Yunxi over, and the two of them greeted each other obediently, "Brother Huang, Sister Huang."

Xu Miaoqing got up and saluted, which is indispensable.She represented not only herself, but also Zhu Xiongying's decency, including Xu's upbringing, etc. She didn't dare to be careless about these things.

Zhu Xiongying said angrily, "It's true that etiquette cannot be discarded. It's a family together. How can there be so many vain etiquette. I see you, this is getting more and more out of the ordinary."

Don't look at when Zhu Xiongying said that, everyone was obedient and obedient.But if you really want to talk about it, it will still be like this next time they meet. They don't dare to omit any omissions in these things. Such seemingly insignificant little things show a person's nature.

Zhu Xiongying pointed to the seat and said, "Let's all sit down, Yunxi, would you like to have a drink with Big Brother?"

Zhu Yunxi laughed immediately, without any embarrassment, "Brother, I don't like strong alcohol now. This wine is not good, let's go for Qiulubai."

Autumn Lubai, this can also be regarded as imperial wine, or it can be said that the Ming court followed the brewing process of court imperial wine in the Song and Yuan dynasties.This is a good wine with the clearest aroma, and it is basically brewed with dew, which basically determines that this kind of wine cannot be served in large quantities.

Looking at Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Xiongying shook his head angrily.My little brother is really good at eating, drinking and having fun.But looking at Zhu Yue and Xu Miaoqing, Zhu Xiongying thinks it's better to drink a little.

Naturally, Wang Chengen had the foresight to change the wine immediately. In fact, wine like Qiulubai is relatively nourishing. Generally, there are not many such wines in the palace, and ordinary princes don’t have many rewards. In fact, Zhu Xiongying There are not many such good wines.

Being stingy is definitely not stingy, Zhu Xiongying is still very happy to share these good things with the people closest to him. After all, this is a family, so there is no need to be stingy about these things.

"Where is Yunxi, come back to Tianfu with us during the twelfth lunar month. If I have a lot of business during this period, Yue'er, you should pay more attention to him. If he is disobedient, find your sister-in-law." Zhu Xiongying ate and drank Wine, the elder brother is like a father, "If you really can't make it, come to me."

Zhu Yue naturally nodded obediently, and she was indeed used to taking care of her worthless little brother.If she couldn't take care of her well, she would naturally come to her elder brother.

Zhu Yunxi was probably used to these things too, the elder brother took care of him, and the elder sisters also stared at him all the time.That is to say, the crown prince and side concubine treated him 'best', letting him eat, drink and have fun without learning or skill.It's just that Zhu Yunxi is not stupid. He used to think that Lu's family was good, but now that he thinks about it, he thinks that Lu's family is quite ridiculous.

After having a family dinner with his younger siblings, Zhu Xiongying also felt quite relaxed.During this period of time, he is still working conscientiously, busy with official and military affairs, and now he can relax and relax. Being with his family is one of the best ways to relax.

Zhu Xiongying couldn't stay idle, because he knew that his Shenji Battalion would soon make some progress, and his Shenji Battalion would soon be able to improve its combat effectiveness by a bit.

This is an out-and-out major event. Zhu Xiongying has always been paranoid about the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the troops.He doesn't think that only relying on martial arts can usher in a peaceful and prosperous age. If there is no force, it will become the Song Dynasty. He has money but becomes fat in the eyes of others and is bullied everywhere.

Zhu Xiongying is satisfied with the increase in the power of the firearms, and the stability and durability of the firearms. He also feels that these are not small opportunities for the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the firearms troops.

Not only firecrackers will be improved, let’s not talk about making large-caliber field artillery, but first get some cannons for defending the city, or some small-caliber field artillery. Zhu Xiongying thinks this is a good opportunity.

This is not "creation out of nothing", which is to improve the performance of some existing firearms.

Even though he has concentrated a lot of resources, Zhu Xiongying now feels more and more that many things are like this, especially the development of scientific research and technology trees, which cannot be achieved overnight, and what is not seen is that it can have immediate results .

Some departments in Beiping Mansion are about to get busy. They are going to start a lot of experiments, they are going to start mass-producing new-style firecrackers, and they also need to organize some improvement techniques for bronze cannons.

Indispensable, of course, also includes the continuous improvement of the performance of gunpowder. Zhu Xiongying is not so easy to be satisfied, and he also has more requirements for firearms.

Even if the current firecrackers are not matchlock guns, they are not even considered "guns" in the eyes of some people.But so what, Zhu Xiongying knows that this is the only way for the development of science and technology, it is impossible to become a fat man in one go, and it is necessary to continue to learn and improve.

Zhu Xiongying, who is in a good mood, continues to follow up the organization to tackle key problems. The mass production of firearms is of course a good thing, and this is also a constant upgrade.The newly-made firecrackers are of course used by the frontier troops, and the eliminated firecrackers may be returned to other guards in addition to being given to other guards.

Zhu Xiongying would not wait until the firearm is scrapped before thinking about replacing it. Continuous replacement is also necessary. Even if some voices think that Zhu Xiongying is wasting money, he will continue to implement it unswervingly.

This is not something to be stingy. What Zhu Xiongying needs is a complete and stable system, and what he needs is a more secure and reliable military industry system.

Lao Zhu and Da Zhu in Yingtian Mansion are having a headache right now, if it's just an ordinary reward, it's fine, and Lao Zhu will not be reluctant to reward some silver, gold or something, as long as it is useful.After all, Lao Zhu knew a lot about firearms, and he made great contributions to the firearms troops when he conquered the world.

It's just that if you want a baron, your appetite will be a bit big. This is not in line with Lao Zhu's strategy of constantly reducing the baron these years.What's more, this is still a craftsman, and it is even more difficult for Lao Zhu to accept a craftsman household.

Da Zhu was silent for a moment, and then said, "Let's allow it, this craftsman has some utility, it is beneficial to my Ming Dynasty, and that's enough."

Old Zhu nodded and said, "We know, we also know what our Yinger is thinking. A baron, if you give it, you will give it. He specially asked us to make an order. This child just wants us to go to the bad guys, and he wants us to deal with it. Rule those civil servants."

Da Zhu also couldn't help laughing, and said, "I'm afraid Ying'er meant more than that. He wanted to make a big deal out of it, and let the craftsmen all over the world know, and I'm afraid it wasn't just craftsmen. Let's make trouble, these things It really needs the father to come forward."

Lao Zhu immediately couldn't help being cheerful, not just because his children and grandchildren depended on him.It is also because whether it is a son or a grandson, he is very similar to him in his bones, and he is the ultimate pragmatist!
