History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]
Chapter 156
This matter was left to the children, while Minning was attracted by another matter.
In this season of peach blossoms in full bloom and spring, a huge object was sent up the mountain from Zhuangzi outside the capital. This object required ten strong men to move it.
When the things were delivered to the Old Summer Palace and placed in an open space, Minning brought a group of people over to watch.
After Minning arrived, someone lifted the cloth from the object.
After seeing this thing, Minning's eyes showed a trace of nostalgia.
I didn't expect those people in Zhuangzi to make the car so quickly, basically according to the picture she gave.
The person who introduced it next to him said, "This car can travel hundreds of miles a day, and it needs kerosene as fuel."
Minning smiled, presumably the speed could not even match the carriage.
But in the end it is a new thing, as long as it can be made right now, the issue of pursuing speed has to be studied slowly.
"Which of you can drive?" Minning asked.
One of the people who came from Zhuangzi stood up and said, "The little one will."
Minning motioned him to get in the car and go around.
After the man got up, he ignited the fire within a few strokes, and the car made a rumbling sound. Minning squinted his eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable. Why does this sound like a diesel engine?
The car rattled and walked a few steps, and Minning couldn't help being dumbfounded. It felt like an agricultural walking tractor with a car shell installed.
Probably hoped too much, but turned into disappointment.
But she thought about it, it would be okay to study this car slowly, this kind of tractor-like car can be remodeled and used for plowing and harvesting and so on.
Compared with scooter, tractor is more useful.
Minning called to stop, these people thought she was dissatisfied, standing together seemed a little at a loss.
Minning asked someone to bring the paper, took the pencil, and started drawing on the paper.
"It doesn't matter if the car is transformed into this kind of car, it's slower, as long as people can keep up. Turn around and drag the plow behind to see if it can be used in the field."
Those few people's eyes lit up when they heard this. They didn't expect to have this function. This car only eats oil and does not suffer from life, old age, sickness and death like a cow. It is faster than a cow. A group of people can even think that if this kind of car is built, It can even replace cattle in the future.
"Returning to Niangniang, the transformation is very simple, but the existing wooden plow may not be able to keep up with this equipment. There is also this kind of automatic harvesting and threshing equipment that needs to be studied."
Now, only the lower blade of the plow I own is made of iron, and the rest of the frame is made of wood. If it is really driven by this kind of cart, it will not be able to stop slowly like a beast, and the service life of wood is not enough. Steel is so strong, it probably will fall apart after a few times.
So if you want to match the strength of the car, you can only use steel to make the plow.
Minning waved his hand and said, "Okay, didn't I give you a share of steel before? This one will be made of steel first, and I will make it up for you later."
The group of people below were overjoyed, thank you very much.
I found another way to get steel. Nowadays, the whole Qing Dynasty is short of iron. The main reason is that the construction of railways consumes too much iron. This leads to research laboratories like theirs. Not much steel comes.
Which of the researches of the Qing Dynasty can do without steel?
Some people lost their steel and cut off their research directly. In order to continue to maintain, some research laboratories even started to collect scrap iron in the streets and alleys, and built a small furnace to make steel.
Aren't you excited to be lucky enough to get a share of steel all at once like them?
A group of people in the village left happily, turned around and after another half a month, they built the walking tractor that Minning requested, and it was equipped with an iron deep plow behind it.
This time Minning asked Fourth Master to invite them over, and the two of them stood together on the field outside the Xinghuachun Pavilion, a small part was planted with vegetables, most of them were still abandoned.
Fourth Master squinted his eyes and watched the people on the field loading the plow behind the tractor, and asked Minning, "Is this the good thing you want to show me?"
Minning smiled and said, "Wait a minute, you will know what it is."
The nose of the tractor was filled with oil and water, and another person held an iron handle in his hand and shook it for a long time before shaking the machine away.
The machine turned and made a bang bang sound. The fourth master was startled and took a big step back, only to feel that the sound was louder than the sound of the train running.
Covering his ears with one hand, he pulled Minning behind him with the other.
Minning turned to the other side of him with a smile, and pulled his hand covering his ear.
"Don't worry, there will be no problem."
After the tractor rang, only one person was left, and the rest ran away. That person stood in front of the handle and supported the tractor and walked quickly in the field. The deep plow behind him moved in the direction he was holding.
Fourth Master's eyes widened suddenly, and he saw the place where the deep plow ran past, where the soil had parted to the two sides before, revealing a road.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Minning, "Can this replace cattle?"
Minning nodded and asked him to continue watching. It only took more than an hour to drive the one-acre field with a tractor, and this was due to lack of skill.
Fourth Master took a deep breath and held her wrist tightly, "This kind of machine must be promoted."
Today's farming cattle are not only a heavy burden for the people, but more importantly, there are too few farming cattle to satisfy every family.In many areas, the plow is still pulled by manpower, and because it is pulled by manpower, deep plows cannot be used in these places, and people can plow it over and over again. If this kind of machine is popularized, it can also be imagined that it will give the Qing Dynasty What a difference.
"This kind of thing is good!" An Jia only said before that this cart can replace a horse-drawn carriage, but he didn't expect that it could also replace livestock to plow the fields.
Minning felt fourth master's excitement, and the evidence was that her wrist was painfully held by fourth master.
"Master, let me go first!" She tugged at her hand.
Only then did Fourth Master come back to his senses, let go of his hand, still feeling a little excited, looked at the machine parked by the side of the road, went up and walked around the machine, said hello a few times, then turned his head and followed Minning said, "How much does this thing cost?"
Minning covered his red wrists with his sleeves, and then walked up and said, "The price is a bit expensive, mainly because there is too little steel produced today."
The fourth master understood what she meant. The few iron mines in Minning's hands were specially granted to her by the imperial court. Apart from building ships and firearms, they also made rails.
If you want to lower the price, you can only mass-produce this kind of machine, but steel can't keep up, and this is just empty talk.
But the imperial court holds a lot of iron ore, most of which are used to make armaments and knives and pots for people's livelihood.
Now that the fourth master wants to reform the general equipment, then the old knives, swords, and the like will no longer be needed, and even some armors will not be needed, after all, armor cannot withstand bullets.
Fourth Master looked at her, "Why don't I sell you some armaments, and you can use them to make steel to offset the price of the machines."
Minning was stunned for a moment, when did fourth master get smart, she wanted to get a few more iron ores from him, but in the end he exchanged those equipment that were bound to be obsolete with her.
However, Minning is not so easy to talk to. She shook her head and said, "Master, even if you exchange equipment from all over the country, how many vehicles can you exchange? Can you still distribute these things to the people for free?" Probably not to the people The hands were divided up by those powerful and powerful people.
Fourth Master also understood what she meant, "Then give me a good idea."
Minning thought for a while and said, "How about this, just send people to invite all the ministers and some wealthy businessmen in the capital to Huangzhuang, and let's hold a special auction."
"auctions?"
Minning nodded, "If you want to popularize this thing and lower the price, then you can only give up this piece of fat and let more people join in."
She looked at the tractor in front of her and continued, "I don't have that much steel to support the war, so I can sell Fangzi to make up for part of the loss. At that time, Lord, you can sell some old equipment to these people." The merchants who auctioned off the formula can make up part of the military expenses. Even some government offices can auction houses and build factories to sell them. By the way, as long as these tractors are made, kerosene is indispensable. We have all the kerosene in our hands, let’s go to an official to sell them, they promote these tractors, and we can wait for a steady stream of income in the future.”
After hearing this, fourth master was an eye-opener, and he would get more after giving this prescription away.
If they eat this piece of fat alone, they have to worry about some people who want to steal the prescription, relying on their family to spread firearms to the entire Qing Dynasty, it will not be possible within a hundred years.
Nowadays, as long as the kerosene is choked, it is tantamount to choking these machines. Without kerosene, these machines are just a pile of scrap iron.
Fourth master clapped his hands together and praised, "This idea is really good."
Minning smiled, "Since you agree, let's let those people see it sometime."
Fourth Master nodded slightly, "However, this matter must be notified to Han Ama first."
But Minning pointed to an eunuch next to him and said, "Master, you don't have to worry about that, this man will definitely tell the Supreme Emperor what he saw and heard."
She had made a plan a long time ago, not only invited the fourth master, but also invited the eunuchs next to the Supreme Emperor.
This person is the eyes and ears of the Supreme Emperor, and he will definitely inform the Supreme Emperor when he sees this tractor.
Fourth Master frowned slightly, and then opened it again, "I'll go to pay my respects to the Supreme Emperor at night, and tell you about your proposal." It happened to spare time during the day, and the eunuch talked to the Supreme Emperor in a lively manner.
As a result, fourth master didn't wait until the evening, and someone came to Changchun garden that afternoon to invite fourth master over.
"My son has met Khan Ama." After the fourth master entered Qingxi Bookstore, he knelt down on one knee to pay his respects to the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor took off his reading glasses, looked at him and said, "Get up, you are already the emperor, there is no need to kneel down at every turn."
After the fourth master got up, he said: "Even if my son is the emperor, he is still the son of Khan Ama. It is only natural to kneel to Khan Ama."
The Supreme Emperor didn't argue with him, but asked him straightforwardly, "I heard that you got a tool today, which can plow the field without the need for an ox, and the speed is twice as fast as that of an ox?"
Fourth master nodded, "Huihan Ama, there is such a thing."
The Supreme Emperor reached out to pick up the pen, sucked the ink, and wrote a line, "Fourth, what do you think about bringing this thing back to the imperial court?"
After hearing this, the fourth master quickly dissuaded, "Khan Ama must not do this!"
The Taishang Emperor didn't show any expression on his face, and the pen in his hand didn't stop, and after writing another line, he asked, "Could it be that Mrs. An Jia didn't want to?"
The fourth master took a deep breath and replied, "Responding to Ama's words, An Jia has already planned to give up this thing, but it cannot be handed over to the court."
The Supreme Emperor showed a strange look, "Why is this?"
Fourth Master said, "If this thing is made by the imperial court, how will it be distributed to the common people, will it be distributed free of charge or paid for by the common people?"
"If you distribute it for free, you can only end up with the rich and wealthy. It is not known how many cars the people will get. If you pay for the people to buy them, even if the imperial court sets a low price, they are afraid that the officials below will violate the law and stop the people with some conditions. It cannot enter the hands of the people."
The Supreme Emperor snorted coldly, "Could it be that this matter is handed over to the imperial court, and nothing can be achieved?"
The fourth master replied with a wry smile, "Returning to Emperor Ama, there is an interest that cannot escape in this matter."
The Supreme Emperor threw the pen in his hand aside, only to reveal the things on the table, and the bright yellow object showed what it was.
It turned out to be an imperial decree written by the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor crumpled the imperial decree into a ball, threw it into the brazier beside him, and then said to Fourth Master, "Do you know what I just wrote?"
Fourth master shook his head.
The Supreme Emperor ordered the table and said, "If you agree with An Jia's refusal to hand over this object to the imperial court, then I will have to issue an imperial decree." This matter is of great importance and must not be kept in An Jia's hands.
Just like the cement, the Taishanghuang thought that his son was fascinated by women, and he listened to An Jiashi for everything.
It seems to be okay, the fourth favorite belongs to the favorite, but some things are still clear, unlike the backyard woman who climbed on top of the old eight favorite.
Fourth Master wiped a cold sweat from his heart.
The Supreme Emperor continued, "It seems that you already have some regulations in your mind, tell me, how do you plan to deal with it?"
Fourth master told Minning's proposal before.
Taishang Huang Mingrui noticed the important point inside, "That is to say, this kind of machine can only use kerosene as fuel?"
Fourth Master helped explain, "It's oil extracted from fire oil."
The Supreme Emperor narrowed his eyes, "Will this thing be equivalent to salt in the future?"
"Perhaps it is more precious than salt." The fourth master will repeat what he heard from An Jia to the Supreme Emperor, "An Jia's Zhuangzi has already studied it, and will transform this machine into a vehicle that is faster than a carriage In the future, the entire land of the Qing Dynasty will be full of this kind of car. It is conceivable that the fuel consumption will be huge. Buying a catty of salt can feed a family for a long time, but if the kerosene is not bought by these machines, it is just a piece of scrap iron. There is no other alternative. So my son can conclude that this fire oil will probably be more expensive than gold in the future."
An Jia also said before that in the future, paper money can be hooked to kerosene. Fourth master doesn't know how to do it, but after listening to her, he can understand that as long as he controls kerosene in the future, he will be able to dominate the world.
The Supreme Emperor slapped the table fiercely, "Fourth brother, we will do according to your plan." Salt accounted for a large share of the Qing tax revenue. A big chunk of taxes.
The Taishanghuang couldn't wait any longer, and he naturally strongly supported this kind of promotion method that would be beneficial but harmless.
The Supreme Emperor only understands one truth, if there are too many things, they will definitely be worthless. There are a large number of these machines on the market. If they want to sell them, the merchants will naturally lower the price and try their best to promote them to the common people. When the court benefits, the common people will naturally It can also benefit.
Benefits, the Supreme Emperor stroked his beard and looked at Fourth Master with a smile. The emperor finally understood that the connection between people in this world is interests, especially in the officialdom.
The fourth child is dedicated to the people and has done a lot of good things, but his reputation among the people is not very good.
Why?It's not that it violated the interests of those gentry.
These scholars with pens in their hands naturally couldn't let him go. The common people were too far away from the emperor, so how could they know the inside story? Naturally, those scholars did what they said.
To be honest, the Supreme Emperor has a better reputation among the people than Fourth Master.
The Taishanghuang has never asked about this matter, always thought that the fourth child would wake up, but unexpectedly, the fourth child went all the way to the dark, and has not reacted so far.
This made the Supreme Emperor a little speechless. Is this son stupid?
In the warm spring sun, a rubber ball rolled on the grass, stretched out a foot, and immediately turned the ball to the foot.
"come on!"
"Hat Alley team come on!"
This is a very big stadium. There are at least a thousand spectators sitting outside the stadium, and every spectator is shouting for the team they support.
Hong Kyung did not sit in the audience stand, but stood at the highest point of the stadium, staring at the finger-sized person in front of him.
After a while, Hong Shi brought a group of people over, and handed a binoculars to Hong Kyung, "Third brother." Then he sat down on the grass next to him.
The six youths next to him were stunned on the spot. Young masters like them always pay attention to their status. After finding that the fourth prince was so informal, they were stunned, and these people quickly reacted and sat down.
The princes are so careless, so there is no need for them to be so reserved.
Some time ago, these young people were a little surprised when they suddenly received invitations from the fourth prince. After exchanging news, they found out that only six families received the invitation.
After another calculation, now is the time of the draft, and it is the time to talk about kissing. If the emperor wants to match the show girl, it is impossible for the fourth prince to send a post to invite them.
These people vaguely understood the meaning of the fourth prince. You must know that this fourth prince has a sister who is still in her boudoir.
The six of them all understood. It seems that the royal family is planning to marry the princess. The six of them are all competitors. Except for those who are unwilling to marry the princess, there are a few of them who are not good enough. After being selected by the royal family, they seem very embarrassed Surprised, she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to win this marriage.
Apparently the fourth prince invited them to test them, and he was already prepared in his heart that it would be difficult for my brother-in-law.
Then when things came to an end, the fourth prince led them to the game on the court, some people were still a little surprised.
It's not that there were frequent wars in the past few decades, but now there are fewer and fewer wars, the most recent one was in Junggar, but it ended up in Yue Zhongqi's hands.
This has led to military officers turning to civil servants in training their offspring. Among these few candidates, there are so few scholars who are helpless.
I was a little worried in my heart, this fourth prince wouldn't be whimsical and let them play in person, right?
When they saw that the third prince was also there, the expressions of the group immediately became tense. The third prince was different from the fourth prince. This third prince is currently the candidate for the heir apparent.
He is generous and gentle, and now he is being taught by the Supreme Emperor himself, so he belongs to the crown prince in the eyes of officials.
This one is very popular.
Although Lord Long Live hinted that he was not going to be a crown prince, many people started to stand in line.
Of course, there were also some weird fourth princes who stood in line, but this did not affect the friendship between the two brothers. Only now did this group of people really feel that the third prince and the prince were not brothers in face.
The relationship between the two is indeed closer than that of ordinary siblings.
This made these people a little surprised. In their imagination, the correct way to open the royal family should refer to the emperor's generation. Didn't they see that the princes of the previous generation were all abolished?Unexpectedly, in this generation, they took the warm route instead. For a while, these people thought that there was something wrong with their eyes.
The next game was still in a heated stalemate, Hong Kyung put down the binoculars and walked to Hong Shi's side.
Before Hongshi could speak, the six people around him quickly got up to salute the third brother.
Hong Jing was very kind, he said please, and then continued: "You are only a few years older than me, everyone is of the same generation, so there is no need to pay so much attention to etiquette."
Hongshi on the side waved his hand, "Hurry up and sit down and study, it will be our turn in the next game."
As soon as this sentence was uttered, the six people were immediately dumbfounded, and they really had to end their feelings.
Hong Kyung put on a red face and said with a gentle smile, "Don't worry, everyone. This time, Hong Shi and Hong Ming made an appointment for a match. My younger brother is not very popular, so he couldn't find anyone for a while. Later, he was recommended by someone. Just invite a few of you over. You don’t have to be restrained, play with confidence, even if you lose, it doesn’t matter.”
The six of them didn't think it was that simple, especially when they saw the Fourth Prince raised his fist and threatened them, "If you lose, I won't let you go."
Hong Kyung looked at him helplessly.
Those six people were already grimacing. They understood this young master's temperament, and he definitely kept his word.
This time I only provoked him, but I don't know what went wrong when I look back?
Hong Jing reassured a few people, "Don't worry, Hong Shi has such a temperament, I guarantee that even if he loses, he won't let him complain to Khan Ama."
The six people's minds went blank. After hearing this sentence, they became more worried, okay?
This afternoon is destined to be a bit difficult for some people.
In the evening, Hong Jing and Hong Shi were reporting to Minning, the fourth master came in and sat aside, listening to the two sons continue talking.
He didn't speak until he had heard enough, "According to what you said, which one is more suitable for your second sister's temperament?"
Hong Shi said, "I think Dong E's star is pretty good, and this one is only a few years older than the second sister."
Minning finally shook his head after hearing this, "Dong E's Xinghui is your aunt's younger brother, they are of different generations."
The fourth master said: "The royal family doesn't care about seniority." There are aunts, nephews and emperors who serve the emperor, let alone seniority with no blood relationship.
Originally, Xinghui was selected, but it was just for counting, but Hongshi was actually selected.
But this matter is not what Hongshi said, and Minning saw Hongkyung again, "Hongkyung, what do you think?"
Hong Jing raised his head and said, "Son, I think we have to take a look. These candidates are all good, but it's best to let the second sister take a look in person." After all, it's up to her to decide whether to choose a husband for the second sister. .
As for the reluctance of the other party, Hong Kyung didn't take it to heart, if he was unwilling, he could just find an excuse to refuse to go to the appointment.
This time it was the fourth master who objected first, "No, the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, this matter is not at the level of your second sister." If An Jia hadn't been beating the side drums all the time, telling him not to ignore his daughter casually, He agreed to the marriage of the Ulanala family back then.
Minning took objections, "Why can't you watch it? Anyway, it's Er Gege's lifelong event, how can you not ask her opinion?"
The fourth master asked Minning with his eyes, but Minning didn't even look at him, and said to the two children directly, "Even if you have limited choices, you have to choose the one you like. I'm in charge of this matter. You can find a time later. Let Concubine Qi take Ergege to burn incense in the temple, and meet these families by the way."
Fourth master failed to persuade her, so he could only sit aside and try his luck.
The two brothers saw that the situation was not good, so they found an excuse and went for a walk.
"What do you mean? I can't take care of my daughter's marriage. You will inform me when things are arranged?" After hearing the message from Hongshi, Concubine Qi became angry.
During this period of time, she was only focused on helping Hong Yun choose a wife, and ignored her daughter for a while.
This cannot be blamed on her, since her daughter became a princess all of a sudden, she is not in charge of this marriage. Isn't she waiting for the marriage from the Long Live Emperor?
However, I didn't expect Long Live Lord to hand over this matter to Concubine An Gui. After the candidates had been found, he came to inform her to take his daughter to see the person.
This... this is simply bullying!
Hong Shi entered the palace early in the morning and told Er Niang about this, but he did not expect that Er Niang would react like this.
He quickly said, "These people were appointed by Khan Ama. I have already tested them out. These people are all talented in literature and have a simple family background. I guarantee that I can live with my second sister in peace."
It's not that Concubine Qi doesn't understand this truth, it's just that she can't get over that hurdle in her heart.
"Okay, when the time is up, I will take your second sister to see people, and why are you meddling in this matter?" Some time ago, Hongshi got a lot of money from her, and I heard that he was asking for money from Concubine An Gui. Finding a way to make money, the child ran out of the palace and devoted himself to big business.
And Concubine Qi put all her mind on the draft, she just wanted to choose a daughter-in-law that fit her wish, so she didn't put her mind on this little monkey.
Unexpectedly, this child did not enter the palace for more than three months, and Concubine Qi knew from his few words that this child had indeed done something great.
Hongshi smiled, "The future brother-in-law wants to marry the second sister, since he has to pass me."
Concubine Qi is naturally happy to see that the sisters and brothers have a good relationship. Hongshi's words obviously touched Concubine Qi's heart and made her happy. This bad boy finally stopped pissing her off once.
Hongshi left the palace and was about to go to the stadium. He didn't do this business alone, and he brought in several cousins.
When the business came up, these people let go and just waited for the dividends, which made Hongshi very busy.
But he was also willing. Since he made this business, although Khan Ama looked disgusted on his face, he could see the admiration in his eyes.
Hongshi was also very excited. If he wanted to make this business bigger and bigger, it would be best to open the stadium all over the Qing Dynasty.
"Hiroshi!"
As soon as he walked out of the palace gate and passed Liubu, Hongshi was stopped by someone, and he immediately smiled when he turned his head.
"Uncle eight."
Ba Ye smiled and asked, "Is this just out of the palace?"
Hongshi smiled and said, "Yes, come here and say hello to Emiang."
Master Ba nodded, and then asked him, "Are you free to go drink tea with Uncle Ba?"
Hongshi thought that he was only going to the stadium to have a look, and he had nothing else to do, so he said, "Why don't Eighth Uncle come with me to the stadium to drink tea. Let's drink tea while watching the game."
Ba Ye waved his hand and said, "Okay, we haven't seen each other for a while, let's talk about it this time."
Hongshi got into the carriage with Baye and headed to the nearest stadium.
For Uncle Ba, Hongshi has an indescribable fondness for him. He can feel that Uncle Ba is very sincere when facing him, as if he really treats him as a junior.
In addition to the previous events, he has a very high opinion of Uncle Ba. Even though he hasn't seen him for more than half a year, when they meet this time, Hongshi feels that he and Uncle Ba are not unfamiliar at all.
The fact that Hongshi met the eighth master at the gate of the palace quickly spread to the fourth master. After all, the gate of the palace is such a conspicuous place that people are always paying attention.
The two left in a carriage, and the news spread even faster.
When the fourth master heard the news, there was no movement. The old eighth made such a move, nothing more than wanting to provoke a new round of seizing the heir. Inspired by the old eight, he came up with the idea of seizing the position.
When Minning heard the news, it was already afternoon, and she stayed in the garden all the time, so the news naturally spread a little slower.
After hearing the news, she frowned, Hongshi's child had already separated her from Lao Ba for more than half a year.
Unexpectedly, Lao Ba still didn't give up, and whenever he found free time, he saw every stitch.
"That kid Hongwang is six years old, right?" Minning asked Jia Jinlu who was beside him.
Jia Jinlu bowed and replied, "Returning to your master, the elder brother of Prince Lian's residence has turned seven years old this year."
Minning was thoughtful, "I remember this kid didn't go to the Children's Academy?"
Jia Jinlu replied, "Prince Lian's residence has not registered, and the servant heard that this little brother has not yet enlightened."
Minning frowned. It was normal not to sign up. After all, he was the only son of Prince Lian, so he was naturally worried about the safety of the child outside, but he was already seven years old and had not yet been enlightened, so there was a problem.
Minning thought of Prince Lian Fujin, could it be her reason?
"Send someone to send an enrollment post, so that Little Gege and Little Elder Brother from Prince Lian's Mansion will come and sign up when the school starts in July."
……
After Ba Ye returned to the mansion, he heard the news. He was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it should be the follow-up result of his contact with Hongshi.
Unexpectedly, there was no response from the fourth child, but it was An Guifei who responded.
This directly choked his life, but there were only these two children in the mansion, and if they were taken over at once, it was tantamount to choking Prince Lian by the throat. Even if he wanted to use any tricks, he had to consider Look at your child in someone's hands.
He Zhuo also thought of this, "Why don't you find an excuse to push this off?"
Eighth Master came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not our decision anymore." Eighth Master would not underestimate women, especially the An Jia family who had done business throughout the Qing Dynasty. Jia's fought against each other several times without taking advantage. From this, it can be seen that this woman is not so easy to mess with.
Perhaps this woman is even more difficult than the fourth child.
Right now, the two children in the mansion are being watched by her. If she agrees, it's okay, but if she refutes her intention, this woman will definitely keep her eyes on his mansion.
There has always been only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief?
"Wang Ye means to send the two young masters to the Boys' Academy?"
Eighth Master sighed and nodded, "It's not up to us to choose." When the fourth child took that seat, he was left behind.
Nowadays, it is natural that what people say is what they say.
Seeing He Zhuo's worried look, Ba Ye casually comforted him, "Don't worry, Hongwang and Da Gege are not the only ones in the Boys' Academy, but the children of other brothers are there. Besides, Hongwang hasn't been out since he was born. If I go back to the Boys’ Academy to study, I can meet some cousins.” Moreover, Hongwang is seven years old and has not yet been enlightened, and he had to be reminded to realize that the Eighth Master was a bit boring and complicated all of a sudden.
The affairs in the backyard are all managed by Fujin. Hongwang has not been enlightened so far. Could it be that she is indifferent to the two children.
After thinking about it, this is also a good thing. The child leaving home is good for both the child and Fujin.
Ba Ye is not worried about the safety of the Children's Academy, after all, several princes are also studying in it, and its safety is second only to the imperial palace.
It's just that when the child is in someone else's hands, it means that the eighth master has personally handed over his lifeline, and some delusions in the future can only be delusions.
In this season of peach blossoms in full bloom and spring, a huge object was sent up the mountain from Zhuangzi outside the capital. This object required ten strong men to move it.
When the things were delivered to the Old Summer Palace and placed in an open space, Minning brought a group of people over to watch.
After Minning arrived, someone lifted the cloth from the object.
After seeing this thing, Minning's eyes showed a trace of nostalgia.
I didn't expect those people in Zhuangzi to make the car so quickly, basically according to the picture she gave.
The person who introduced it next to him said, "This car can travel hundreds of miles a day, and it needs kerosene as fuel."
Minning smiled, presumably the speed could not even match the carriage.
But in the end it is a new thing, as long as it can be made right now, the issue of pursuing speed has to be studied slowly.
"Which of you can drive?" Minning asked.
One of the people who came from Zhuangzi stood up and said, "The little one will."
Minning motioned him to get in the car and go around.
After the man got up, he ignited the fire within a few strokes, and the car made a rumbling sound. Minning squinted his eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable. Why does this sound like a diesel engine?
The car rattled and walked a few steps, and Minning couldn't help being dumbfounded. It felt like an agricultural walking tractor with a car shell installed.
Probably hoped too much, but turned into disappointment.
But she thought about it, it would be okay to study this car slowly, this kind of tractor-like car can be remodeled and used for plowing and harvesting and so on.
Compared with scooter, tractor is more useful.
Minning called to stop, these people thought she was dissatisfied, standing together seemed a little at a loss.
Minning asked someone to bring the paper, took the pencil, and started drawing on the paper.
"It doesn't matter if the car is transformed into this kind of car, it's slower, as long as people can keep up. Turn around and drag the plow behind to see if it can be used in the field."
Those few people's eyes lit up when they heard this. They didn't expect to have this function. This car only eats oil and does not suffer from life, old age, sickness and death like a cow. It is faster than a cow. A group of people can even think that if this kind of car is built, It can even replace cattle in the future.
"Returning to Niangniang, the transformation is very simple, but the existing wooden plow may not be able to keep up with this equipment. There is also this kind of automatic harvesting and threshing equipment that needs to be studied."
Now, only the lower blade of the plow I own is made of iron, and the rest of the frame is made of wood. If it is really driven by this kind of cart, it will not be able to stop slowly like a beast, and the service life of wood is not enough. Steel is so strong, it probably will fall apart after a few times.
So if you want to match the strength of the car, you can only use steel to make the plow.
Minning waved his hand and said, "Okay, didn't I give you a share of steel before? This one will be made of steel first, and I will make it up for you later."
The group of people below were overjoyed, thank you very much.
I found another way to get steel. Nowadays, the whole Qing Dynasty is short of iron. The main reason is that the construction of railways consumes too much iron. This leads to research laboratories like theirs. Not much steel comes.
Which of the researches of the Qing Dynasty can do without steel?
Some people lost their steel and cut off their research directly. In order to continue to maintain, some research laboratories even started to collect scrap iron in the streets and alleys, and built a small furnace to make steel.
Aren't you excited to be lucky enough to get a share of steel all at once like them?
A group of people in the village left happily, turned around and after another half a month, they built the walking tractor that Minning requested, and it was equipped with an iron deep plow behind it.
This time Minning asked Fourth Master to invite them over, and the two of them stood together on the field outside the Xinghuachun Pavilion, a small part was planted with vegetables, most of them were still abandoned.
Fourth Master squinted his eyes and watched the people on the field loading the plow behind the tractor, and asked Minning, "Is this the good thing you want to show me?"
Minning smiled and said, "Wait a minute, you will know what it is."
The nose of the tractor was filled with oil and water, and another person held an iron handle in his hand and shook it for a long time before shaking the machine away.
The machine turned and made a bang bang sound. The fourth master was startled and took a big step back, only to feel that the sound was louder than the sound of the train running.
Covering his ears with one hand, he pulled Minning behind him with the other.
Minning turned to the other side of him with a smile, and pulled his hand covering his ear.
"Don't worry, there will be no problem."
After the tractor rang, only one person was left, and the rest ran away. That person stood in front of the handle and supported the tractor and walked quickly in the field. The deep plow behind him moved in the direction he was holding.
Fourth Master's eyes widened suddenly, and he saw the place where the deep plow ran past, where the soil had parted to the two sides before, revealing a road.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Minning, "Can this replace cattle?"
Minning nodded and asked him to continue watching. It only took more than an hour to drive the one-acre field with a tractor, and this was due to lack of skill.
Fourth Master took a deep breath and held her wrist tightly, "This kind of machine must be promoted."
Today's farming cattle are not only a heavy burden for the people, but more importantly, there are too few farming cattle to satisfy every family.In many areas, the plow is still pulled by manpower, and because it is pulled by manpower, deep plows cannot be used in these places, and people can plow it over and over again. If this kind of machine is popularized, it can also be imagined that it will give the Qing Dynasty What a difference.
"This kind of thing is good!" An Jia only said before that this cart can replace a horse-drawn carriage, but he didn't expect that it could also replace livestock to plow the fields.
Minning felt fourth master's excitement, and the evidence was that her wrist was painfully held by fourth master.
"Master, let me go first!" She tugged at her hand.
Only then did Fourth Master come back to his senses, let go of his hand, still feeling a little excited, looked at the machine parked by the side of the road, went up and walked around the machine, said hello a few times, then turned his head and followed Minning said, "How much does this thing cost?"
Minning covered his red wrists with his sleeves, and then walked up and said, "The price is a bit expensive, mainly because there is too little steel produced today."
The fourth master understood what she meant. The few iron mines in Minning's hands were specially granted to her by the imperial court. Apart from building ships and firearms, they also made rails.
If you want to lower the price, you can only mass-produce this kind of machine, but steel can't keep up, and this is just empty talk.
But the imperial court holds a lot of iron ore, most of which are used to make armaments and knives and pots for people's livelihood.
Now that the fourth master wants to reform the general equipment, then the old knives, swords, and the like will no longer be needed, and even some armors will not be needed, after all, armor cannot withstand bullets.
Fourth Master looked at her, "Why don't I sell you some armaments, and you can use them to make steel to offset the price of the machines."
Minning was stunned for a moment, when did fourth master get smart, she wanted to get a few more iron ores from him, but in the end he exchanged those equipment that were bound to be obsolete with her.
However, Minning is not so easy to talk to. She shook her head and said, "Master, even if you exchange equipment from all over the country, how many vehicles can you exchange? Can you still distribute these things to the people for free?" Probably not to the people The hands were divided up by those powerful and powerful people.
Fourth Master also understood what she meant, "Then give me a good idea."
Minning thought for a while and said, "How about this, just send people to invite all the ministers and some wealthy businessmen in the capital to Huangzhuang, and let's hold a special auction."
"auctions?"
Minning nodded, "If you want to popularize this thing and lower the price, then you can only give up this piece of fat and let more people join in."
She looked at the tractor in front of her and continued, "I don't have that much steel to support the war, so I can sell Fangzi to make up for part of the loss. At that time, Lord, you can sell some old equipment to these people." The merchants who auctioned off the formula can make up part of the military expenses. Even some government offices can auction houses and build factories to sell them. By the way, as long as these tractors are made, kerosene is indispensable. We have all the kerosene in our hands, let’s go to an official to sell them, they promote these tractors, and we can wait for a steady stream of income in the future.”
After hearing this, fourth master was an eye-opener, and he would get more after giving this prescription away.
If they eat this piece of fat alone, they have to worry about some people who want to steal the prescription, relying on their family to spread firearms to the entire Qing Dynasty, it will not be possible within a hundred years.
Nowadays, as long as the kerosene is choked, it is tantamount to choking these machines. Without kerosene, these machines are just a pile of scrap iron.
Fourth master clapped his hands together and praised, "This idea is really good."
Minning smiled, "Since you agree, let's let those people see it sometime."
Fourth Master nodded slightly, "However, this matter must be notified to Han Ama first."
But Minning pointed to an eunuch next to him and said, "Master, you don't have to worry about that, this man will definitely tell the Supreme Emperor what he saw and heard."
She had made a plan a long time ago, not only invited the fourth master, but also invited the eunuchs next to the Supreme Emperor.
This person is the eyes and ears of the Supreme Emperor, and he will definitely inform the Supreme Emperor when he sees this tractor.
Fourth Master frowned slightly, and then opened it again, "I'll go to pay my respects to the Supreme Emperor at night, and tell you about your proposal." It happened to spare time during the day, and the eunuch talked to the Supreme Emperor in a lively manner.
As a result, fourth master didn't wait until the evening, and someone came to Changchun garden that afternoon to invite fourth master over.
"My son has met Khan Ama." After the fourth master entered Qingxi Bookstore, he knelt down on one knee to pay his respects to the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor took off his reading glasses, looked at him and said, "Get up, you are already the emperor, there is no need to kneel down at every turn."
After the fourth master got up, he said: "Even if my son is the emperor, he is still the son of Khan Ama. It is only natural to kneel to Khan Ama."
The Supreme Emperor didn't argue with him, but asked him straightforwardly, "I heard that you got a tool today, which can plow the field without the need for an ox, and the speed is twice as fast as that of an ox?"
Fourth master nodded, "Huihan Ama, there is such a thing."
The Supreme Emperor reached out to pick up the pen, sucked the ink, and wrote a line, "Fourth, what do you think about bringing this thing back to the imperial court?"
After hearing this, the fourth master quickly dissuaded, "Khan Ama must not do this!"
The Taishang Emperor didn't show any expression on his face, and the pen in his hand didn't stop, and after writing another line, he asked, "Could it be that Mrs. An Jia didn't want to?"
The fourth master took a deep breath and replied, "Responding to Ama's words, An Jia has already planned to give up this thing, but it cannot be handed over to the court."
The Supreme Emperor showed a strange look, "Why is this?"
Fourth Master said, "If this thing is made by the imperial court, how will it be distributed to the common people, will it be distributed free of charge or paid for by the common people?"
"If you distribute it for free, you can only end up with the rich and wealthy. It is not known how many cars the people will get. If you pay for the people to buy them, even if the imperial court sets a low price, they are afraid that the officials below will violate the law and stop the people with some conditions. It cannot enter the hands of the people."
The Supreme Emperor snorted coldly, "Could it be that this matter is handed over to the imperial court, and nothing can be achieved?"
The fourth master replied with a wry smile, "Returning to Emperor Ama, there is an interest that cannot escape in this matter."
The Supreme Emperor threw the pen in his hand aside, only to reveal the things on the table, and the bright yellow object showed what it was.
It turned out to be an imperial decree written by the Supreme Emperor.
The Supreme Emperor crumpled the imperial decree into a ball, threw it into the brazier beside him, and then said to Fourth Master, "Do you know what I just wrote?"
Fourth master shook his head.
The Supreme Emperor ordered the table and said, "If you agree with An Jia's refusal to hand over this object to the imperial court, then I will have to issue an imperial decree." This matter is of great importance and must not be kept in An Jia's hands.
Just like the cement, the Taishanghuang thought that his son was fascinated by women, and he listened to An Jiashi for everything.
It seems to be okay, the fourth favorite belongs to the favorite, but some things are still clear, unlike the backyard woman who climbed on top of the old eight favorite.
Fourth Master wiped a cold sweat from his heart.
The Supreme Emperor continued, "It seems that you already have some regulations in your mind, tell me, how do you plan to deal with it?"
Fourth master told Minning's proposal before.
Taishang Huang Mingrui noticed the important point inside, "That is to say, this kind of machine can only use kerosene as fuel?"
Fourth Master helped explain, "It's oil extracted from fire oil."
The Supreme Emperor narrowed his eyes, "Will this thing be equivalent to salt in the future?"
"Perhaps it is more precious than salt." The fourth master will repeat what he heard from An Jia to the Supreme Emperor, "An Jia's Zhuangzi has already studied it, and will transform this machine into a vehicle that is faster than a carriage In the future, the entire land of the Qing Dynasty will be full of this kind of car. It is conceivable that the fuel consumption will be huge. Buying a catty of salt can feed a family for a long time, but if the kerosene is not bought by these machines, it is just a piece of scrap iron. There is no other alternative. So my son can conclude that this fire oil will probably be more expensive than gold in the future."
An Jia also said before that in the future, paper money can be hooked to kerosene. Fourth master doesn't know how to do it, but after listening to her, he can understand that as long as he controls kerosene in the future, he will be able to dominate the world.
The Supreme Emperor slapped the table fiercely, "Fourth brother, we will do according to your plan." Salt accounted for a large share of the Qing tax revenue. A big chunk of taxes.
The Taishanghuang couldn't wait any longer, and he naturally strongly supported this kind of promotion method that would be beneficial but harmless.
The Supreme Emperor only understands one truth, if there are too many things, they will definitely be worthless. There are a large number of these machines on the market. If they want to sell them, the merchants will naturally lower the price and try their best to promote them to the common people. When the court benefits, the common people will naturally It can also benefit.
Benefits, the Supreme Emperor stroked his beard and looked at Fourth Master with a smile. The emperor finally understood that the connection between people in this world is interests, especially in the officialdom.
The fourth child is dedicated to the people and has done a lot of good things, but his reputation among the people is not very good.
Why?It's not that it violated the interests of those gentry.
These scholars with pens in their hands naturally couldn't let him go. The common people were too far away from the emperor, so how could they know the inside story? Naturally, those scholars did what they said.
To be honest, the Supreme Emperor has a better reputation among the people than Fourth Master.
The Taishanghuang has never asked about this matter, always thought that the fourth child would wake up, but unexpectedly, the fourth child went all the way to the dark, and has not reacted so far.
This made the Supreme Emperor a little speechless. Is this son stupid?
In the warm spring sun, a rubber ball rolled on the grass, stretched out a foot, and immediately turned the ball to the foot.
"come on!"
"Hat Alley team come on!"
This is a very big stadium. There are at least a thousand spectators sitting outside the stadium, and every spectator is shouting for the team they support.
Hong Kyung did not sit in the audience stand, but stood at the highest point of the stadium, staring at the finger-sized person in front of him.
After a while, Hong Shi brought a group of people over, and handed a binoculars to Hong Kyung, "Third brother." Then he sat down on the grass next to him.
The six youths next to him were stunned on the spot. Young masters like them always pay attention to their status. After finding that the fourth prince was so informal, they were stunned, and these people quickly reacted and sat down.
The princes are so careless, so there is no need for them to be so reserved.
Some time ago, these young people were a little surprised when they suddenly received invitations from the fourth prince. After exchanging news, they found out that only six families received the invitation.
After another calculation, now is the time of the draft, and it is the time to talk about kissing. If the emperor wants to match the show girl, it is impossible for the fourth prince to send a post to invite them.
These people vaguely understood the meaning of the fourth prince. You must know that this fourth prince has a sister who is still in her boudoir.
The six of them all understood. It seems that the royal family is planning to marry the princess. The six of them are all competitors. Except for those who are unwilling to marry the princess, there are a few of them who are not good enough. After being selected by the royal family, they seem very embarrassed Surprised, she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to win this marriage.
Apparently the fourth prince invited them to test them, and he was already prepared in his heart that it would be difficult for my brother-in-law.
Then when things came to an end, the fourth prince led them to the game on the court, some people were still a little surprised.
It's not that there were frequent wars in the past few decades, but now there are fewer and fewer wars, the most recent one was in Junggar, but it ended up in Yue Zhongqi's hands.
This has led to military officers turning to civil servants in training their offspring. Among these few candidates, there are so few scholars who are helpless.
I was a little worried in my heart, this fourth prince wouldn't be whimsical and let them play in person, right?
When they saw that the third prince was also there, the expressions of the group immediately became tense. The third prince was different from the fourth prince. This third prince is currently the candidate for the heir apparent.
He is generous and gentle, and now he is being taught by the Supreme Emperor himself, so he belongs to the crown prince in the eyes of officials.
This one is very popular.
Although Lord Long Live hinted that he was not going to be a crown prince, many people started to stand in line.
Of course, there were also some weird fourth princes who stood in line, but this did not affect the friendship between the two brothers. Only now did this group of people really feel that the third prince and the prince were not brothers in face.
The relationship between the two is indeed closer than that of ordinary siblings.
This made these people a little surprised. In their imagination, the correct way to open the royal family should refer to the emperor's generation. Didn't they see that the princes of the previous generation were all abolished?Unexpectedly, in this generation, they took the warm route instead. For a while, these people thought that there was something wrong with their eyes.
The next game was still in a heated stalemate, Hong Kyung put down the binoculars and walked to Hong Shi's side.
Before Hongshi could speak, the six people around him quickly got up to salute the third brother.
Hong Jing was very kind, he said please, and then continued: "You are only a few years older than me, everyone is of the same generation, so there is no need to pay so much attention to etiquette."
Hongshi on the side waved his hand, "Hurry up and sit down and study, it will be our turn in the next game."
As soon as this sentence was uttered, the six people were immediately dumbfounded, and they really had to end their feelings.
Hong Kyung put on a red face and said with a gentle smile, "Don't worry, everyone. This time, Hong Shi and Hong Ming made an appointment for a match. My younger brother is not very popular, so he couldn't find anyone for a while. Later, he was recommended by someone. Just invite a few of you over. You don’t have to be restrained, play with confidence, even if you lose, it doesn’t matter.”
The six of them didn't think it was that simple, especially when they saw the Fourth Prince raised his fist and threatened them, "If you lose, I won't let you go."
Hong Kyung looked at him helplessly.
Those six people were already grimacing. They understood this young master's temperament, and he definitely kept his word.
This time I only provoked him, but I don't know what went wrong when I look back?
Hong Jing reassured a few people, "Don't worry, Hong Shi has such a temperament, I guarantee that even if he loses, he won't let him complain to Khan Ama."
The six people's minds went blank. After hearing this sentence, they became more worried, okay?
This afternoon is destined to be a bit difficult for some people.
In the evening, Hong Jing and Hong Shi were reporting to Minning, the fourth master came in and sat aside, listening to the two sons continue talking.
He didn't speak until he had heard enough, "According to what you said, which one is more suitable for your second sister's temperament?"
Hong Shi said, "I think Dong E's star is pretty good, and this one is only a few years older than the second sister."
Minning finally shook his head after hearing this, "Dong E's Xinghui is your aunt's younger brother, they are of different generations."
The fourth master said: "The royal family doesn't care about seniority." There are aunts, nephews and emperors who serve the emperor, let alone seniority with no blood relationship.
Originally, Xinghui was selected, but it was just for counting, but Hongshi was actually selected.
But this matter is not what Hongshi said, and Minning saw Hongkyung again, "Hongkyung, what do you think?"
Hong Jing raised his head and said, "Son, I think we have to take a look. These candidates are all good, but it's best to let the second sister take a look in person." After all, it's up to her to decide whether to choose a husband for the second sister. .
As for the reluctance of the other party, Hong Kyung didn't take it to heart, if he was unwilling, he could just find an excuse to refuse to go to the appointment.
This time it was the fourth master who objected first, "No, the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, this matter is not at the level of your second sister." If An Jia hadn't been beating the side drums all the time, telling him not to ignore his daughter casually, He agreed to the marriage of the Ulanala family back then.
Minning took objections, "Why can't you watch it? Anyway, it's Er Gege's lifelong event, how can you not ask her opinion?"
The fourth master asked Minning with his eyes, but Minning didn't even look at him, and said to the two children directly, "Even if you have limited choices, you have to choose the one you like. I'm in charge of this matter. You can find a time later. Let Concubine Qi take Ergege to burn incense in the temple, and meet these families by the way."
Fourth master failed to persuade her, so he could only sit aside and try his luck.
The two brothers saw that the situation was not good, so they found an excuse and went for a walk.
"What do you mean? I can't take care of my daughter's marriage. You will inform me when things are arranged?" After hearing the message from Hongshi, Concubine Qi became angry.
During this period of time, she was only focused on helping Hong Yun choose a wife, and ignored her daughter for a while.
This cannot be blamed on her, since her daughter became a princess all of a sudden, she is not in charge of this marriage. Isn't she waiting for the marriage from the Long Live Emperor?
However, I didn't expect Long Live Lord to hand over this matter to Concubine An Gui. After the candidates had been found, he came to inform her to take his daughter to see the person.
This... this is simply bullying!
Hong Shi entered the palace early in the morning and told Er Niang about this, but he did not expect that Er Niang would react like this.
He quickly said, "These people were appointed by Khan Ama. I have already tested them out. These people are all talented in literature and have a simple family background. I guarantee that I can live with my second sister in peace."
It's not that Concubine Qi doesn't understand this truth, it's just that she can't get over that hurdle in her heart.
"Okay, when the time is up, I will take your second sister to see people, and why are you meddling in this matter?" Some time ago, Hongshi got a lot of money from her, and I heard that he was asking for money from Concubine An Gui. Finding a way to make money, the child ran out of the palace and devoted himself to big business.
And Concubine Qi put all her mind on the draft, she just wanted to choose a daughter-in-law that fit her wish, so she didn't put her mind on this little monkey.
Unexpectedly, this child did not enter the palace for more than three months, and Concubine Qi knew from his few words that this child had indeed done something great.
Hongshi smiled, "The future brother-in-law wants to marry the second sister, since he has to pass me."
Concubine Qi is naturally happy to see that the sisters and brothers have a good relationship. Hongshi's words obviously touched Concubine Qi's heart and made her happy. This bad boy finally stopped pissing her off once.
Hongshi left the palace and was about to go to the stadium. He didn't do this business alone, and he brought in several cousins.
When the business came up, these people let go and just waited for the dividends, which made Hongshi very busy.
But he was also willing. Since he made this business, although Khan Ama looked disgusted on his face, he could see the admiration in his eyes.
Hongshi was also very excited. If he wanted to make this business bigger and bigger, it would be best to open the stadium all over the Qing Dynasty.
"Hiroshi!"
As soon as he walked out of the palace gate and passed Liubu, Hongshi was stopped by someone, and he immediately smiled when he turned his head.
"Uncle eight."
Ba Ye smiled and asked, "Is this just out of the palace?"
Hongshi smiled and said, "Yes, come here and say hello to Emiang."
Master Ba nodded, and then asked him, "Are you free to go drink tea with Uncle Ba?"
Hongshi thought that he was only going to the stadium to have a look, and he had nothing else to do, so he said, "Why don't Eighth Uncle come with me to the stadium to drink tea. Let's drink tea while watching the game."
Ba Ye waved his hand and said, "Okay, we haven't seen each other for a while, let's talk about it this time."
Hongshi got into the carriage with Baye and headed to the nearest stadium.
For Uncle Ba, Hongshi has an indescribable fondness for him. He can feel that Uncle Ba is very sincere when facing him, as if he really treats him as a junior.
In addition to the previous events, he has a very high opinion of Uncle Ba. Even though he hasn't seen him for more than half a year, when they meet this time, Hongshi feels that he and Uncle Ba are not unfamiliar at all.
The fact that Hongshi met the eighth master at the gate of the palace quickly spread to the fourth master. After all, the gate of the palace is such a conspicuous place that people are always paying attention.
The two left in a carriage, and the news spread even faster.
When the fourth master heard the news, there was no movement. The old eighth made such a move, nothing more than wanting to provoke a new round of seizing the heir. Inspired by the old eight, he came up with the idea of seizing the position.
When Minning heard the news, it was already afternoon, and she stayed in the garden all the time, so the news naturally spread a little slower.
After hearing the news, she frowned, Hongshi's child had already separated her from Lao Ba for more than half a year.
Unexpectedly, Lao Ba still didn't give up, and whenever he found free time, he saw every stitch.
"That kid Hongwang is six years old, right?" Minning asked Jia Jinlu who was beside him.
Jia Jinlu bowed and replied, "Returning to your master, the elder brother of Prince Lian's residence has turned seven years old this year."
Minning was thoughtful, "I remember this kid didn't go to the Children's Academy?"
Jia Jinlu replied, "Prince Lian's residence has not registered, and the servant heard that this little brother has not yet enlightened."
Minning frowned. It was normal not to sign up. After all, he was the only son of Prince Lian, so he was naturally worried about the safety of the child outside, but he was already seven years old and had not yet been enlightened, so there was a problem.
Minning thought of Prince Lian Fujin, could it be her reason?
"Send someone to send an enrollment post, so that Little Gege and Little Elder Brother from Prince Lian's Mansion will come and sign up when the school starts in July."
……
After Ba Ye returned to the mansion, he heard the news. He was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it should be the follow-up result of his contact with Hongshi.
Unexpectedly, there was no response from the fourth child, but it was An Guifei who responded.
This directly choked his life, but there were only these two children in the mansion, and if they were taken over at once, it was tantamount to choking Prince Lian by the throat. Even if he wanted to use any tricks, he had to consider Look at your child in someone's hands.
He Zhuo also thought of this, "Why don't you find an excuse to push this off?"
Eighth Master came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not our decision anymore." Eighth Master would not underestimate women, especially the An Jia family who had done business throughout the Qing Dynasty. Jia's fought against each other several times without taking advantage. From this, it can be seen that this woman is not so easy to mess with.
Perhaps this woman is even more difficult than the fourth child.
Right now, the two children in the mansion are being watched by her. If she agrees, it's okay, but if she refutes her intention, this woman will definitely keep her eyes on his mansion.
There has always been only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to guard against a thief?
"Wang Ye means to send the two young masters to the Boys' Academy?"
Eighth Master sighed and nodded, "It's not up to us to choose." When the fourth child took that seat, he was left behind.
Nowadays, it is natural that what people say is what they say.
Seeing He Zhuo's worried look, Ba Ye casually comforted him, "Don't worry, Hongwang and Da Gege are not the only ones in the Boys' Academy, but the children of other brothers are there. Besides, Hongwang hasn't been out since he was born. If I go back to the Boys’ Academy to study, I can meet some cousins.” Moreover, Hongwang is seven years old and has not yet been enlightened, and he had to be reminded to realize that the Eighth Master was a bit boring and complicated all of a sudden.
The affairs in the backyard are all managed by Fujin. Hongwang has not been enlightened so far. Could it be that she is indifferent to the two children.
After thinking about it, this is also a good thing. The child leaving home is good for both the child and Fujin.
Ba Ye is not worried about the safety of the Children's Academy, after all, several princes are also studying in it, and its safety is second only to the imperial palace.
It's just that when the child is in someone else's hands, it means that the eighth master has personally handed over his lifeline, and some delusions in the future can only be delusions.
