"Really, that's great. Mr. Dai's ability in firearms is something that few people can match. With him as the leader, the firearms manufacturing camp will definitely have a new look in a short time." Hearing these words, Lin Zizhen will be covered in the face He wiped off the scarf on his face, and said in a good mood.

Dai Zi is a well-known firearms manufacturer in history. He successfully manufactured the Lianzhu firecracker and the sky cannon, which played a big role in quelling the San Francisco rebellion in the early Kangxi period and the Galdan rebellion.

When the Dutch sent envoys to the Qing Dynasty to offer gifts, among them was the pangut shotgun. When the foreign envoys showed it to everyone, they said that this gun was one of the most advanced weapons in the West at that time, and it was only in their country. can only be made.

When countries show off their muscles, of course they can’t be cowardly, not to mention that Emperor Kangxi was a very face-saving person, so he said directly: "That's it, we have gone to Daqing, you wait, you will leave in a few days When the time comes, I'll send you a dozen or so."

Turning around, looking at the hall, I found Dai Zi who was on duty in the Hall of Mental Cultivation at the time. I read that right, Dai Zi is not only an excellent military engineer, but also good at military art, astronomical algorithms, and poetry, calligraphy and painting. , So he was appointed by Emperor Kangxi as the lecturer of the Imperial Academy.

Ordered Dai Zi to spend a few days to prevent the gun from coming out.At the moment, the Dutch envoy can only go back in disgrace.

There is also the soaring cannon, which is also because Nan Huairen, a missionary who went to the Qing Dynasty to meet Kangxi, heard that Nan Huairen said that his country had recently invented a state-of-the-art cannon that only Belgium could make.

Kangxi was moved and gave Nan Huairen a lot of money to build the cannon, but a year later, Nan Huairen still hadn't got it out.Kangxi was disappointed in his heart, it seemed that at the critical moment, it was still easy for his own people to use.Then they brought Dai Zi again, and before Dai Zi had seen the real thing, it took only a little over a week to make the sky cannon, which had a great influence on the military strength of the Qing Dynasty. small improvement.

However, Nan Huairen, who had lost face, remembered this incident in his heart, and finally he seized the opportunity to charge Dai Zi with the crime of adultery with the East, and was exiled all the way to Liaodong.

Lin Zizhen has been here for so long, and has inquired a lot about the deeds of Dai Zi, such a talent, only Emperor Kangxi was willing to send him into exile.But his ability is limited, and he can't talk to the emperor about anything. After all, firearms were a sensitive topic no matter in that era, so he can only expand the firearms battalion by proposing to restart, and see if he can get the emperor to call people back earlier.

If it doesn't work, I can only wait until the fourth master takes that position, and call him back, but all these years of time have been wasted.

Compared to Lin Zi who was really happy, Fourth Master's expression was a little more indifferent.

"Don't be too happy, the person has been called back, but Huang Ama's order didn't say what to do." At that time, it would be meaningless to leave him alone like this.

Over the years, ever since Huang Ama's attitude towards the second brother of the prince began to change, the secret thought in his heart came to the fore. To outsiders, he is a stubborn person who only knows how to work hard, but in private, he cultivates power, Searching for news, and studying his Huang Ama, he can probably guess four or five points of Huang Ama's thoughts now.

As he grew older, he used to worship Huang Ama, who was like Changshengtian, but he was actually just an ordinary person. Facing the old man, his suspicion and desire to control also skyrocketed. He was afraid of the prince he had brought up; he was afraid of the powerful destructive power of firearms;

But in the eyes of the fourth master who is just young and strong, even though he is usually quieter than ordinary people, but is full of enthusiasm, he is afraid that he will have it, but he still knows how to restrain himself, and he will have it when he is afraid. It is difficult to challenge, thinking about learning to control it, making it for oneself and for the use of the Qing Dynasty, is its good fortune.There are only the so-called conflicts between Manchu, Han and Mongolian, and those opposition forces among the people. As long as the hearts of the people are available, everything is not a problem.

It's a pity that no matter how much he thinks, he can't change Huang Ama's thoughts, unless one day he sits in that position, what he thinks will be meaningful...

Thinking of the firearms manufacturing camp that has gradually become lonely these years, because of Dai Zi's exile, all the craftsmen and masters were frightened. Shotguns from more than a decade ago had a short range, long loading time, unstable performance, and were prone to explosion.

There was no progress, and the people below used to speculate on their ideas. Seeing that the emperor's attitude towards firearms had changed, they began to reduce the funds for firearms manufacturing. As a result, the masters in the firearms manufacturing camp became even more frustrated. All the innovative research and development of the mood, everyone learns to be wise and safe, after all, the family is not behind the family.Otherwise, if one is not careful, like Master Dai, the whole family will be burdened.

This has also led to the fact that although the Qing Dynasty also has a shotgun team, it is far behind Tsarist Russia in terms of quantity and quality, and there may be the West that is constantly improving in the distance.

The wars between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia a few years ago illustrated this point. Although the Qing Dynasty won in the end and shook hands with Tsarist Russia for peace talks, he had read the battle reports.In fact, in this war, the fight was not easy at all. Tsarist Russia could easily take the lives of thousands of Batulu from the Qing Dynasty with only a few hundred soldiers. In this battle, a lot of troops and lives were used to resist, consuming Tsarist Russia's firearms.

In the end, in exchange for Tsarist Russia’s non-interference with the Qing army, to quell the Zhungeerdan rebellion, and to avoid Tsarist Russia’s long-term disturbance of the border, the nomadic Mongolian tribes that plundered the border and the land of Longxing in Heilongjiang had to make a compromise and let Tsarist Russia cut it away. A large piece of land, thinking of this, fourth master couldn't hold back a long sigh, really aggrieved.

Hearing Si Ye's sigh, Lin Zizhen thought about the rapid development of the West, and the Western powers had already started to sail fleets equipped with powerful firearms, and began to colonize and expand.

In the end, the Qing Dynasty still didn't pay enough attention to firearms, and there is still the West.

"The application for opening a commercial port has already been handed in. If the next time the emperor summons his ministers to study, he will beat the side drum again. Just try it. When the emperor sees that the sea trade has brought huge profits to the Qing Dynasty, and Due to the wolfish ambitions of foreigners, firearms will definitely be valued by the emperor again." Lin Zi said sadly.

Hearing Lin Zizhen's words, the fourth master scolded: "Don't mess around, your sympathy in front of Huang Ama is not enough for you to intervene in everything. Since Huang Ama stays in the affairs of Haimao and Macau, If you win, it means that there is no chance, and these things, as well as the ninth brother, they will go to the imperial court to toss them, even if Huang Ama is not happy, at worst, you will be reprimanded, and you will be different."

Having said that, fourth master glared at Lin Zizhen.Don't look at Huang Ama who often calls Lin Zizhen to read and talk, but once Lin Zizhen accidentally makes a mistake, Huang Ama can turn his back on him.

and.....

"I'm afraid we'll have to wait a little longer for things like maritime trade and Macau. Recently, Huang Ama's thoughts are not on these things. I'm afraid there will be big disturbances recently, Prince... Be honest with me during this time, don't worry about it." Mix it all up, if it's too disgusting, go to the Drug Research Institute to help more." Fourth Master finally made a point.

Lin Zizhen understood it in an instant, and then thought that time has passed, and now it has been 46 years since Kangxi.Even though he is a staunch fourth master party, but thinking of the prince's situation, he has to sigh for the prince who has good character and ability in the Qing Dynasty.

No matter how good he is, facing the powerful and fearful Emperor Kangxi above, and the grown-up and outstanding brothers below who are determined to pull him down, he is still stretched.Thinking of these internal fights, Lin Zi really felt annoyed, but where there are people, it is inevitable, not to mention the country, even the companies in their previous life, a small department, often involved standing in line and fighting internally.

Not to mention the position of the king of a country, even he is not in the team, he only hopes that the fourth master can take the position soon, and he doesn't want this royal family to fight for the heir apparent, otherwise the crown prince will pass here, and he will meet again. Coming to compete with other princes, not to mention the consumption of national strength, it also hurts feelings and delays work.

Seems like a lot of thinking.

"Well, I will definitely study my books honestly during this period of time. But don't tell me to go to the Institute of Medicine recently. Every time I go, they want to open my head, so as to provide them with some inspiration and inspiration. Thoughts. When I chatted with that strange person, because many things sounded like fantasy, I didn’t remember them seriously. Now that it’s been so long, I’ve told them everything I still remember. They still don’t give up, especially that Dong Jiazhong, He ran to my house every day and every day, and read a lot of medicine to me, hoping that I would think of something, and it made my head hurt." Lin Zizhen originally followed the fourth master to change the subject, but said As he spoke, Lin Zi really had a headache.

In order to help these doctors research medicines, Lin Zizhen would spare some time every day to collect some local methods of making medicines through the shopping system, and at the same time use a tablet computer to pick up chemical knowledge, and then pass these things on to these doctors.

But this is too troublesome. Lin Zizhen is planning to get some unnamed English chemistry textbooks out recently, and then he will translate them directly to these doctors, so that he doesn't have to be a mouthpiece in the middle. He really doesn't have much chemistry and pharmaceutical knowledge. Talent, no time to experiment.

In fact, when it comes to the drug research institute, not only Lin Zi really has a headache, but also the fourth master. In order to attract famous doctors hidden among the people, the fourth master promised an extremely generous salary, basic necessities, food, housing and transportation. Whatever it is, they can easily obtain it themselves.

At the beginning, they were attracted because of cowpox, the efficacy and research methods of penicillin, but what kept them here was the new pharmaceutical equipment and laboratories, as well as the novel methods that Lin Zizhen popped up from time to time, as well as the free The opening of equipment and materials allows the big guys to do experiments happily.

At that time, it was the fourth master who underestimated the ability of these big bosses to burn money. They wandered in the ocean of seeking new knowledge, happily collecting materials for experiments every day, but it was the fourth master who bought it in the end. When it came to paying the bills, the fourth master, who had never changed his face, had no choice but to turn dark.

Thinking about it now, even though his body was soaked in the hot spring, he couldn't help shivering. Although Huang Ama has received a lot of money, there are many people who are eager to allocate funds, so what he can get here Money, even if it has increased on the original basis, is still limited.

If you want to feed the Institute of Medicine and let it continue to develop, you must find a way to open source.Just thinking about it gives people a headache, forget about these headaches and leave it to others to worry about.

Immediately, he said to Lin Zizhen next to him: "During this time, you have been busy helping Lao Jiu, Huang Ama, and helping Da Qing earn a lot. It can be seen that you are not bad in terms of economy. Now, let me help you figure it out, the open source method of the Institute of Drug Research, those doctors are really burning too much money."

After finishing speaking, Lin Zizhen couldn't say anything, so fourth master got up, changed his clothes and went out first.

Only Lin Zi was left stunned for a moment, and when he realized it, he wailed.
