Daming: Start with an Altar of Luck

Chapter 20 Indifferent to Fame and Fortune 'Liu Bowen' (for collection)
Lao Zhu half-lyed and narrowed his eyes and continued: "Li Shanchang, he has long regarded the Zhongshu Province as his own."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Biao was sitting in front of Liu Bowen, and he could clearly see that Liu Bowen's face changed and then returned to normal.

"Your Majesty, not only Brother Shanshan thinks this way, I am afraid that all the officials in the imperial court think so. As the prime minister of Zhongshu Province, there is no second person in Sheshanchang." Liu Bowen followed Lao Zhu's words. , and now the whole court feels the same way.

"What about you?" Lao Zhu continued to ask.

"A minister is the same as a hundred officials, and the Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province Sheshan is second to none." Liu Bowen repeated what he said just now.

First, Liu Bowen himself is not greedy for power. Second, after Liu Bowen surrendered to Lao Zhu, he has already seen Lao Zhu's character. Don't look at the current Huaixi generals and civil servants. I'm going to kill these people.

Liu Bowen also understood the meaning of what Lao Zhu said. It was nothing more than wanting to push himself out and let him compete with General Huaixi. Liu Bowen was not stupid, so naturally he didn't want to be the vanguard.

When he solved a group of civil servants and generals in Huaixi, in order to quell the rumors in the court, Lao Zhu only had to push himself out and chop him with a knife. Western forces.

Old Zhu saw that Liu Bowen had not been on the road, so he could only speak clearly, "What about you, why can't you be the second person? It must be Li Shanchang?"

Liu Bowen quickly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I can't afford it!"

"Liu Bowen wants to protect his life wisely! It's a pity, no matter how much you want to protect yourself wisely, Lao Zhu will never allow it." Zhu Biao saw clearly from the side.

"Affordable or not, that's another matter. We heard that Li Shanchang's new house is big enough to hire a beautiful palace, right?" Old Zhu's tone was thought-provoking.

"I heard that I'm not young." Liu Bowen thought to himself, I'll just follow your words, and I don't know anything else.

"Tang and this boy used five hundred soldiers to dig ditches and build walls for Li Shanchang. Isn't this just using the military salary as wages?"

"Forming a party for personal gain!" Liu Bowen was startled, knowing that Lao Zhu already had the idea of ​​attacking the Huaixi officials, and he was even more shocked by Lao Zhu's ruthlessness.

"Okay, we're a little sleepy." Lao Zhu stretched his waist and said.

"Your Majesty, please leave." Liu Bowen resigned and got out of the carriage tactfully.

"Biao'er, you are still staying in your science and technology bureau these few days. Hasn't the new material been finished? Why do you still go to that science and technology bureau every day?" Old Zhu's voice changed after Liu Bowen left. Yes, there is warmth in the tone.

"Father, I am researching new firearms with Master Ban Zhu. When this thing is researched, then my Ming army will never have any opponents. No matter how powerful Meng Yuan's cavalry is, they will be vulnerable." Zhu Biao is also somewhat Excited, thinking of the time Ban Zhu promised himself, I wish Ban Zhu could make the Suifa gun tomorrow.

"Firearms, are they still like blunderbusses? Those things are not effective against cavalry. It's better to build a few more cannons, which can scare the formation of cavalry even if they can't kill people." Old Zhu immediately lost his mind when he heard Zhu Biao talk about researching firearms. interest.

"Father, it's not the current blunderbuss, but a new type of firearm. I dare not say that it will abolish the cavalry directly, but it is unrealistic for the cavalry to rush to the front and kill." Although the gun still needs to be filled with gunpowder, It is still more troublesome to operate, but as long as they are arranged in several rows in an orderly manner.

After one row is fired, another row is fired, and the first row is filled with gunpowder after retreating, which will definitely cause greater damage to the cavalry. Rifled guns have even more amazing range.

Not to mention, gunpowder has been improved by Zhu Biao once, and its power has been greatly improved, and the cavalry will inevitably lose their invincible status on the battlefield.

"If you say that, we will be interested. I don't know what kind of new firearm you are talking about, and when will it be built?" Old Zhu was aroused by Zhu Biao's words.

"Well, I guess we can see it when we return to Yingtian after our northern tour. The time given by Master Ban Zhu was five days. Unfortunately, we set off for the northern tour in less than five days." Zhu Biao regretted not being able to Before the northern tour, I saw the advent of flintlock guns.

"Well, let's go and see with you when we return to Yingtian after the northern tour. If it is as powerful as you said, we will promise you to reward the craftsmen of the Science and Technology Bureau. As for the craftsmen's worship of officials you mentioned earlier, we will temporarily I can’t promise you.” Lao Zhu thought about it and told him about Zhu Biao’s discussion with him about rewarding craftsmen.

"There is also cement. I will also order people to go to Jurong to start small-scale production of this material. After the samples are produced, they will be sent to Yingtian first. If it is finished, our Daming will change its appearance." Zhu Biao said When I went to the Science and Technology Bureau the next day, I discussed with Ban Zhu again and decided to produce some samples first to see if it could be the same as the cement in the previous life.

If it’s the same, it’s fine, but if it’s different, once it’s mass-produced and can’t be used, it will be a waste of a lot of manpower and material resources. At this time, the Ming Dynasty just founded the country, and Zhu Biao didn’t want to waste it like this. The main reason is that Zhu Biao was afraid to wait until Queen Ma came back to clean up. he.

Therefore, a large number of people should have been sent to Jurong County, but in the end only a couple of people went. Anyway, it is enough to produce a sample.

"What is cement?" Old Zhu couldn't help but feel dizzy seeing words that he didn't understand keep coming out of Zhu Biao's mouth.

If Zhu Biao hadn't been living under his nose all the time, Lao Zhu would really have doubted whether the prince Zhu Biao was someone else's fake.

"A new material for building roads and houses. The production cost is extremely low. The roads repaired are clean, fresh and durable. Hardness, to meet the requirements of the army to pass quickly."

Following Zhu Biao's explanation, Lao Zhu understands that Lao Zhu is more interested in cement than flintlock guns. Flintlock guns can only be used in the army, but cement can be used by the people all over the world and can also be used by the military. .

As Zhu Yuanzhang, who has transformed from a beggar to an emperor step by step, the people hold a lot of weight in Lao Zhu's heart, so when he hears about people's livelihood, Lao Zhu becomes energetic.

The father and son continued to expand around the cement, chatting about the various uses of the cement, until the carriage stopped, ready to set up camp, and continued to set off for the northern tour tomorrow.
