The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 22 The Unfathomable King Yan

Hearing the news he wanted to hear, Zhu Di didn't feel happy, instead he became unhappy and depressed.

Who is he.

King Yan of the Ming Dynasty.

"I never thought that one day we would be forced to where we are today."

When you have won a big battle and are in high spirits, you can't go home with the soldiers, but you hide like a mouse.

Ge Cheng and Yao Guangxiao quickly comforted King Yan.

"King Yan can be so tolerant, he is a real hero." Yao Guangxiao praised.

Although Qin Wangfu's head, Shi, has great power, it depends on who is in front of him. When he meets Yan Wang, he has to abide by the rules.

It's just that the situation is sensitive now.

King Yan really couldn't see Qin Wang's Fu Shi, and wanted to avoid him.

met.

Shi, the head of Qin Wangfu, asked Yan Wang if he would help Qin Wang, what did Yan Wang say?
help.

It is easy to offend the emperor.

Don't help.

Offend King Qin.

King Qin is not only the second elder brother of King Yan, but also more powerful than King Yan.

And the emperor is even less likely to offend.

Just meet up.

King Yan must offend someone who cannot be offended.

Even if he doesn't make a choice.

Not making a choice is actually making a choice.

How good it is to hide.

However, King Yan has a noble status and is still the lord of a land, so he is inevitably different from ordinary people in his heart. Ordinary people don't think it's a big deal, but he can't understand it.

Similarly, it was also the reason why Yao Guangxiao valued King Yan.

To be able to bear the dissatisfaction in the heart, not to focus on temporary anger, and to make choices that are beneficial to the overall situation, is the virtuous master.

"After you go back, tell the princess that this year's life at home should be more economical, and the expenses everywhere can be economical if possible, and if possible, then economical."

What happened to King Qin was his own fault.

It cannot affect Beiping Mansion.

The army did win the battle.

But what is there in the grassland?
That little cattle and sheep are not enough to feed the army.

As for the captured armored weapons.

It was an old thing that Can Yuan brought back from the Central Plains to beyond the Great Wall decades ago. Not to mention King Yan didn't like it, even the soldiers below were unwilling to use it.

It also needs domestic supply of food, military pay, and cloth, and now it will be rewarded, and there will be more expenses later.

Fortunately, the casualties were small, otherwise the pension would be an astronomical figure.

Although the court has its own laws, King Yan will not stand by and act like an iron cock.

Otherwise, who would have King Yan's Mansion in their hearts?

Ge Cheng understood.

"The eldest son is quite good at making money."

"It's just a child."

Hearing Ge Cheng's words, Zhu Di didn't take it seriously.

Seeing this, Ge Cheng didn't explain.

The eldest son has more than 2000 taels of silver in his hand, and it is indeed ridiculous to mention it.

But how long.

Yinzi couldn't escape anyway, so Ge ​​Cheng decided to keep an eye on it first.

Otherwise, he would have a lot of free time to go to Xishan.

Anything a smart person does must have a very strong purpose.

"Then this subordinate will take his leave first, and come to see King Yan tomorrow."

"Go get busy."

Zhu Di sat up straight as he spoke.

"You have worked hard these days."

"It's just my duty."

Ge Cheng disagreed, nodded to Yao Guangxiao, got up and left.

Yao Guangxiao had already stood up to send him off respectfully.

I don't know when King Yan will start to trust himself like he trusts this person.

Yao Guangxiao sighed inwardly.

There were only two people left in the house.

Sudden.

"Dao Yan, what did you not say just now?" Zhu Di's voice sounded slowly.

In the empty room, it seemed a bit intrusive.

This is not like the original Yan Wang's tone.

Unprepared, Yao Guangxiao was taken aback, then turned around with the same expression as before, and looked at Zhu Di with a smiling face.

King Yan really had sharp eyes, and when he came back with a big victory this time, King Yan's power increased by another three points, and King Yan himself changed a lot.

than before.

Now King Yan is getting thicker and thicker.

Also added a point for the city.

The former king of Yan.

Among the vassals, he has the best character, and his heart is "simple".

There are scheming, but not many.

In an instant.

Yao Guangxiao suddenly realized that he didn't seem to understand King Yan's mind.

and so.

He didn't dare to say what he said just now.

Because he couldn't see through King Yan's mind.

speak.

Sometimes saying something wrong can lead to disaster.

"Some news, the poor monk has not yet figured out the authenticity, so he dare not say it lightly, so as not to mislead King Yan."

Zhu Di took a deep look at Yao Guangxiao.

When he was in Yingtian Mansion, this monk offered to follow him to Beiping.

"Since you're not sure, then figure it out earlier, and then tell us."

"Yes."

Yao Guangxiao lowered his head.

"Your wine here is really bad."

Zhu Di looked at the jug on the table in disgust.

It seems that there is something in the words.

Yao Guangxiao just pretended not to know.

"The poor monk doesn't understand wine, so he asked the little novice to buy it. Unexpectedly, he bought bad wine, which is a sin."

"Hahaha."

Zhu Di smiled and pointed to Yao Guangxiao.

"Monk Daoyan, who is praised by everyone, still has something he doesn't understand. It seems that you still need to learn more from sages."

"Extremely so."

The day.

Yao Guangxiao confessed to the rest of the monks in the monastery, and went out to wander, no one knew where he went.

No one dared to disturb Zhu Di.

The little novice monks didn't know the identity of the distinguished guests in the house, and the big monks kept their mouths shut.

Zhu Di put down the book in his hand, walked to the window, stared at the dead tree that was showing new buds outside, and muttered to himself, "Is the news true?"

No one could answer him.

……

Yan Wangfu.

Zhu Gaochi has been very happy recently.

With the support of his mother and Chang Shi, he can do what he wants to do with all his strength.

With his identity as the eldest son of Prince Yan's mansion, he opened the door of convenience everywhere.

Get any help you want.

Iron workshops, iron smelting workshops, and even military craftsmen.

However, the development of industry cannot be rushed. As the ancients said, there are only two things when there is one thing, and there are all things when there are two things.

But he didn't want to wait.

I can't wait to bring out all the knowledge of later generations to take root in Daming.

No one dared to disturb the eldest son's scribbling in the study.

The only one who can disturb the eldest son is Ge Cheng.

Ge Cheng knocked on the door to get permission. After entering, he saw papers scattered all over the table with various pictures on them.

"these are?"

Ge Cheng picked up two of them and looked at them, but he couldn't recognize what they were. It seemed to be a steam engine from a mine?

"The steam engine used in the mine still has a lot to be improved."

Zhu Gaochi said.

Sad face.

He knew how the steam engine worked.

But the principle is the principle, how to turn it into something concrete, this process is equally important.

"Did you draw this all yourself?"

Zhu Gaochi shook his head.

"Master Wan led his apprentices to make it, but they encountered a problem, and we couldn't think of a solution after much deliberation, so we drew it according to their steam engine to see if we could find a solution."

Sixty years have passed between the invention of the first steam engine and the advent of the Watt steam engine, exactly one year away.

The difference between the two is huge.

The accurate description of the former is nothing more than a water pump.

The structure of the entire steam engine, such as the pillars and cross arms, has no technical content, only the small steam pan has some technical content.

The Watt steam engine is different. After 60 years of development, all parts have been refined and cannot be made at will.
