In the second year of Tianyao, on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, the prince Huo Jianhui followed the prince Zhengjun Tao Bao back to visit his relatives.

Along the way, the crown prince’s guard of honor was in front, the prince’s imperial chariot was in the middle, and behind were the gifts brought by the visiting relatives and the emperor’s "New Year's goods". To put it bluntly, it was a reward from the palace. This time the weight was different from the past. , wrote "Taiping Houfu" with several gilded characters.

Passing by the shop of the Tao family, I saw the stewards and the waiters in the shop all knelt down to salute, thanked the emperor for giving the plaque and set off firecrackers to celebrate.

Huo Jianhui's family of four were sitting in the imperial chariot, of course Jing Sheng was included here, Tao Bao looked at the Tao's shop outside, wouldn't it be too arrogant to advertise so much?

How could Huo Jianhui not know the worried look in Tao Bao's eyes, and said directly: "It's okay, this is the meaning of the emperor, from now on, your Tao family will be the largest imperial merchant in Tianyao Capital, anyway, the Tao family's family business will also be handed over to you in the future. In your hands, this is for everyone to see. Your Tao family is supported by our Huo family. Let's see who dares to underestimate your Marquis Mansion. People in this capital are the ones who step on the low and are afraid of heights. Your family is also in this capital now. You're a newcomer, don't worry, it's fine."

Tao Bao nodded after listening to Huo Jianhui's words. Although he doesn't understand the so-called politics, he doesn't want to care about it anyway. He only wants to care about those who are related to him. He should leave others to Huo Jianhui. He knows I am not that material, I once said a bold statement, 'I want to take over Beizhen Fusi', today I think that I was a brain-dead, well, it must be!

Huo Jianhui didn't know his Bao'er was laughing at himself there, and thought he was a little worried, then smiled and patted his hand, Tao Bao put away those thoughts in his heart, and concentrated on coaxing the child.

Huo Jianhui didn't say anything more, watching Tao Bao interacting with the two children, he just thought that Tao Bao like this is good, but sometimes he still thinks that the current Bao'er is the best, so there is no need Take care of those messy things, just take the children to live with him at home.

The group went straight to the Tao Mansion, which is now the Taiping Hou Mansion. Before they reached the gate, they saw that there were already many spectators on both sides of the alley, and many of them gave gifts to the current Hou Mansion. Whether they know each other or not, anyway, there are a lot of things, and according to Huo Jianhui, these people are all here to make friends, at least go through the motions to save face.

Tao Bao nodded and said nothing. When the imperial chariot stopped, Tao Ruilin and his wife came out to greet him in person at the gate of the mansion, and ordered people to hang up the golden plaque bestowed by the emperor. Those who are usually not very optimistic about the Tao family will take a second look!I also gave my son a face!

When the family happily entered the mansion, the family came to the main hall, and they saw Tao Zixuan and Jing Sheng greeted Tao Ruilin and his wife together.

Lan Xi liked Zixuan very much, and he took the initiative to hold Zixuan and sat in his arms, while Jing Sheng stood aside obediently, listening to the big guys.

When Tao Bao saw him, he pulled Jing Sheng to sit beside him. Lan Xi said, "Treat Jing Sheng well, this child's life is not very good. He is the same as our father and I. He is probably a family member who is afraid of disaster." , was discarded, otherwise it would not have been easily discarded, and the tribe has few people, so if you can take care of it, take care of it."

Tao Bao looked at Jing Sheng in surprise, he didn't expect that this child's body could do that, people have to say that fate really is everywhere!

After the initial surprise, he suddenly thought of one thing, that is, is it not good for him to let the two children sleep together?Can we still separate?Then he asked: "Then it's okay for the child to sleep with Zixuan? Is there anything wrong?"

Lan Xi shook her head and said, "It's okay, this kid doesn't understand, so don't let him know, so that he will suffer less. Let's find a suitable girl to live in the future, and let them separate after ten years old."

Tao Bao nodded: "I see." But he never thought that this child is a one-sided child. After many years, it may be too late for the two of them to separate the two of them. I still can't see it now, fate is such a wonderful thing!

In this way, the matter passed, and Tao Bao didn't care too much. The family had a very good meal in the flower hall at noon, which Tao Bao and Zixuan liked to eat. I guess it was Bai Liu's intention. According to the habits of so many years, I ordered the servants to do it.

After the meal, Tao Ruilin and his wife took their two children to the backyard of the mansion to play, while Tao Bao and Huo Jianhui went directly to the backyard, there was already someone waiting there, and when they entered the yard, Ding Qian was already waiting at the door Yes, at the same time there are a few craftsmen, all of whom are well-known masters in the south of the Yangtze River, who were invited back by his father with a high salary.

After seeing the ceremony, Ding Qian brought up a tray covered with cloth and opened it in front of Huo Jianhui and his wife. Tao Bao's eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Ding Qian: "This is the tray you made. from?"

Ding Qian nodded, took out the bullets inside carefully, and then brought over the blank bullets that Tao Bao and the others used before, making Tao Bao dizzy: "Young master, are you right to try this?"

Tao Bao thought for a while: "Have you ever weighed it? Is the gunpowder inside right?"

Ding Qian nodded: "Please rest assured, young master, we all did our research and weighing, and there is nothing wrong with it."

Tao Bao nodded: "Okay, I'll try."After speaking, he pulled out the pistol at his waist, put the bullets in it, found a very thick book and fired at the book. Kong, Tao Bao smelled it carefully, and found that there was a strong smell of burnt gunpowder, and the destructive power was also very strong. The book could not be used directly because the middle part was broken.

Tao Bao was very satisfied, and then said: "Good work, but this must be done carefully, especially the gunpowder must be kept well, and no sparks can be seen, otherwise it will explode, and then life will be dead immediately. Now, no matter when safety comes first, and do as I told you, make the shells and warheads separately, and finally concentrate them in your hands to load the ammunition, and then finalize the shape, there must be no err."

"Don't worry, young master, I understand this matter, I know the seriousness of this matter, oh, by the way, young master, can you see if this is what you want?" After speaking, he handed a box to Tao Bao.

Tao Bao was delighted when he opened it, "Well, this thing is well made, let's name it a telescope, I always think it's a bit exaggerated to call it a clairvoyance, but a telescope sounds good to the ear, but it's more productive A few, I will give you a lot of rewards for your young master, by the way, I am trying to see if I can produce a few high-precision, one-sided binoculars for my use."

Ding Qian nodded to express his understanding, and said that he would finish it as soon as possible, and also said that Tao Bao should rest assured.

Huo Jianhui glanced at him, then gave Tao Bao a look, and Tao Bao said: "By the way, the gunpowder house I gave you is right, if there are any mistakes, bring it to me, and I will see if there are any mistakes Yes, if there is a loophole, hurry up so that it can be remedied immediately, and it happens that there is no mass production."

Ding Qian didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately took out the prescription that he was wearing next to him and handed it to Tao Bao. Tao Bao opened it and looked at it, frowning, "It seems that there is something wrong with this prescription, I'll go back Think about it, I'll bring you the recipe later." After speaking, she frowned and went out.

Ding Qian was taken aback when he saw it. He really thought there was something wrong. He also listened to Tao Bao's suggestion and studied it over and over again. If it was wrong, it would be a disaster.

Tao Bao and Huo Jianhui went back to Lanxuan together, and went directly to the small study room, because there were people disturbing it every day, the study room was very clean, and the orchids were also very good, it seems that his father specially asked people to take care of them, and there were still open flowers.

Tao Bao took a pen and copied the prescription carefully, and then said: "Brother Hui, take this to experiment and see if the effect is the same as the bullet I just used. If it is the same, find someone Stealing the birth, I am not afraid of anything else, but I am afraid that this recipe will fall into the hands of the enemy, if not ten thousand, just in case.”

Huo Jianhui nodded: "Do you believe Ding Qian?"

"No, it's because of my belief that I have to keep my hand. Otherwise, if one day I am stabbed in the back, I will regret it too late." Tao Bao said seriously.

"Since you can trust him, why should you guard against him?"

"My father said that this person is very trustworthy, but he is a little greedy for money, so I want to keep it. In the future, you should also let people pay attention. If it doesn't work, we will 'do it'. Although we have a prescription, I originally I don't plan to be so ruthless, but I'm afraid that he will do anything for money in the future, after all, even if we have guns here, it can't be kept a secret forever, and we must be defensive, don't you think?"

"Well, okay, I'll take care of this. I'll take him away in a while and let him go to our own place. Even if he wants to go in the future, it's impossible. Let him produce ammunition for us for a lifetime." , It’s not a problem to like money, there is a place in this world where we are rich, the gold we got on Jiming Mountain was gone, and this time we are rich.” After finishing speaking, he laughed.

Seeing Huo Jianhui's appearance, Tao Bao couldn't help but rolled his eyes, nouveau riche. . . . . .

In the afternoon, Tao Bao left the Tao Mansion and went back to the palace, and took Ding Qian and some people away directly. The excuse he used was that it was not safe here, and he wanted to go to a safer place. There is nothing to do in the capital, and there is no place to test fire.

Ding Qian's group didn't think too much, and followed Huo Jianhui's people directly to the Biezhuang in the suburbs. There were all Huo Jianhui's people there, and even those who followed Huo Jianhui to perform tasks were there. It can be said that they were surrounded by water. But he didn't let Ding Qian know.

After Ding Qian's affairs were properly arranged, the Huo family brothers left Huo Er with a sad face behind, and went back to the palace directly to return.

And Tao Bao was playing with the two children at this time. The three of them were playing with a ball. Once it was confirmed, this changed football.

Huo Jianhui and the eunuchs, maids, and guards in the courtyard looked fresh one by one, and they all gathered together to watch the excitement. At this time, someone came to Huo Jianhui and said: "His Royal Highness, something is wrong... something happened... "
