[Red Mansion] Young Master Lin Yan

Lin Yan returned to the mansion, but rested for one night. On the second day, Situ Kun rushed to send someone to call him back into the palace again.

Lin Yan was very helpless, but it was also expected.Since Situ Kun was able to take the palace examination, he became interested, asked repeatedly, and even forgot the host of the palace examination, and dragged on for several hours.Then it won't be too long to wait.Come to think of it, if it wasn't for looking at him too tired, I'm afraid he wouldn't have let him out of the palace yesterday.

"I know you have been working hard on the scientific examination these days, but have you had enough rest?"

Lin Yan can't say it's not enough. "Thank you, the emperor, for your compassion. The students have rested."

"You are already the No. [-] scholar, and this title should be changed."

Lin Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Yes. The minister has already rested."

"You mentioned in the article yesterday that you learn from the barbarian's skills to control the barbarians, but do you know what the barbarian's skills are?"

There is a saying in Haiguo Tuzhi: Barbarians have three skills, one is warships, the other is firearms, and the third is the method of raising and training soldiers.

But Lin Yan didn't know where the West had reached in this world. Judging from the things that the West brought to the Central Plains in the past few years, there should be firearms.But at the beginning, the memory has not been recovered. When I was studying with Mr. Xiyang, I was only focusing on painting, and the second was studying objects.The way of fighting with weapons has never been mentioned.Lin Yan was afraid that if he said something wrong, people would notice the clue.

Fortunately, Situ Kun didn't seem to notice his strangeness and didn't care about his answer, and then said: "Do you know why I ordered the sea ban back then?"

Lin Yan frowned. In fact, this was something he couldn't figure out.

If it is a sea trade chaotic market, but things are developing according to the times.In the history of China, there was no such thing as customs before. After the frequent maritime trade, a city shipping department was formed naturally.Based on the situation in Dazhou at that time, if there was no ban on the sea, after two years, someone should have mentioned it.

And the so-called foreigners commit crimes.At that time, no matter how many foreigners there were in Dazhou, my Dazhou couldn’t deal with it?

Looking at Situ Kun's tone now, I'm afraid things are not that simple.

Lin Yan turned to look at Lin Ruhai with a confused expression.

Situ Kun chuckled, "When the incident happened, your father was already in the south of the Yangtze River, and he didn't know it."

Lin Ruhai: "Your Majesty, what happened back then."

Situ Kun glanced at Lin Ruhai, Lin Yan, and Situ Ling who were present, and stood up, "You all come with me!"

Several people turned into the inner hall, and Situ Kun took out an ebony box from the shelf, which contained a firearm.

Lin Yan asked in surprise: "Fire/gun?"

Situ Kun turned his head, "Do you recognize it?"

"Yes! I recognize it."

Situ Kun looked at him for a while, and said: "It is true that foreigners committed crimes back then, and they used this thing to commit crimes. I prevent someone from using this to deify this thing, disturb people's hearts, and seal the news. I don't know that there are many benefits at sea. , how could you not know that the country is not to be lost. But these years I have found many people to develop this thing, although I have gained something, but the effect is not good."

Lin Yan understood.How could Situ Kun not be startled when he found the fire/gun threat?If foreigners who enter the country have this thing in their hearts, and it is unstoppable, wouldn't Dazhou be in danger?Therefore, Situ Kun had no choice but to close the country's gates, blocking the way for foreigners to enter.Waiting for Dazhou's restructuring and R&D to be done properly, then let's talk about maritime trade.It's a pity that the research and development is not effective, and the maritime trade matter has been put on hold.

No wonder!No wonder Situ Kun was in a hurry to calm Bei Rong.Because only when the Beirong was pacified, apart from the northern troubles, Situ Kun could concentrate on coastal defense and avoid being attacked by the enemy.

Lin Yan took a step forward, "Your Majesty, can I show you this gun/gun?"

Situ Kun handed it over, and Lin Yan took it and dismantled it with two or three strokes, and then assembled it with two or three strokes.The other three were dumbfounded.

Lin Yan laughed lightly.Finally, his hobbies from his previous life had room to play.In the previous life, on my mother's side, my grandfather was in business, and my grandmother was in literature.On my father's side, my grandfather was in the army and my grandmother was in business.Later his mother inherited his grandfather's company.His father took over his grandmother's family business, but he also had an uncle who joined politics.

Since the age of 15, every summer vacation, he will be thrown into the army for two months of training.The real/gun/real/bullets are all touched.Especially at that time, because of the enthusiasm of the boy, what he liked to do most was to disassemble and reassemble the guns/weapons in his hand.Even when he went abroad later, he was still a senior member of the gun/shoot club.

He is very fortunate that he has such a family background and such an opportunity.Now these have become his treasures that stand proudly in the world and are unrivaled by others.

Situ Kun was speechless, "How do you know this thing? You're still so proficient!"

"Your Majesty knows that when I was young, there was a Mr. Western, who not only taught me to paint and study objects, but also gave me a pistol/gun, but it was made of wood by myself, not a copper pipe, and the inner tank was not hidden. It's a bullet, and it's all a trick for children to play.

Later, because I was obsessed with this way, I abandoned my studies, and my homework plummeted. My father got angry and collected all the things in the minister's room, and even burned many things.The pistol/gun is in it. "

Situ Kun looked at Lin Ruhai, and Lin Ruhai said awkwardly: "At that time, there were a lot of Western things in his room, and a lot of them were burned and smashed. I don't remember this thing."

Lin Yan glanced at him, "Of course my father doesn't remember, you beat me so much."

Lin Ruhai glared angrily. It was true that something like this had happened, and they had told the outside world more than once.But where did he burn his stuff!He only told him not to touch him again until he became famous.They are all collected!Never had this thing before!Let him help you lie, and you have the nerve to blame him for beating him?

Lin Ruhai snorted, "Why didn't you tell me what a jerk you were then! Playing truant, hating class, making a lot of noise and refusing to go to the academy!"

Lin Yan opened his eyes wide.Hey, hey, don't bring people who bury people like this.There are those who play truant, and those who are bored of classes, but there is no one who makes a fuss and refuses to go to the academy.As far as the Lin family values ​​reading, and Lin Ruhai's strictness, he wouldn't dare to give him a little courage!

But now he didn't dare to refute, shrank his neck, and took a step back.

The bottom of my heart is rejoicing.Since Lin Ruhai revealed his words last time, and even found an excuse for him that "the former prime minister taught later", not only did he no longer have to cover up in front of Lin Ruhai, but he could also bring "evidence".It's great to have such a father!I didn't treat him as a monster, but I took all the trouble for him.

Lin Yan looked up at Lin Ruhai, smiling very flatteringly.

Lin Ruhai couldn't stop snorting coldly.

Situ Kun held back a laugh and came out to smooth things over, "Who never was naughty, Yanzhi was still young at that time, isn't he the champion now? Don't be angry anymore, junior."

Lin Ruhai agreed.Situ Kun said to Lin Yan again: "How much do you know about this thing? Can you do it?"

"Although the toy I played with was useless back then, the principle is the same. Besides, Mr. Xiyang saw that I liked it, and he also shared a lot of knowledge with him. The emperor said that you have been looking for someone to develop it for several years. Maybe take a look at the products currently in development?"

Situ Kun nodded and took it out from another box.

Lin Yan laughed when he saw it. No wonder Situ Kun said that the research and development was not effective.

"Your Majesty, according to Mr. Xiyang's teacher's instructions. The gun in your hand is a fire door pistol. You need to hold the gun in one hand and light the fire in the other hand. It is very troublesome. If it is in combat, it will not only be useless, but will be cumbersome."

Situ Kun nodded, "That's right. And the bullets here are not powerful enough. It's far from the Western ones."

"Yes! The Western gun can be called a flintlock pistol. It can be fired with one hand, but it uses a primer to fire it. Naturally, it is different."

Situ Kun raised his heart, "Can you control it?"

Flintlocks/guns!Yes, of course it is possible!Not only can he, he can at least take a step forward and make a revolver!

Now that the West has developed to this point, he no longer has to worry about the appearance of thermal weapons disrupting the world structure and causing undue influence.On the contrary, he has to be a little bit more advanced than the West, so as to truly achieve the effect of "controlling barbarians".He didn't want to experience that humiliating history.

Don't tell him anything. After the increase in force, the ambition of those in power will rise immediately, and there will be things that our country invades other countries.If he had to choose between aggression and anti-aggression, he would rather be the aggressor.

Lin Yan twirled the pistol/gun in his hand, but he didn't remember saying anything.

"It should be possible. It's just that Mr. Xiyang taught the theory back then, and now it needs to be studied in practice."

"Okay! I will leave this matter to you! I will decree that the people and things that were in charge of this matter before will be moved to the weapons store."

Tsk tsk, it turns out that besides the weapons store, Situ Kun still has such a big secret hidden.It really is the emperor.

Lin Yan raised her eyebrows, "Your Majesty, the reopening of the maritime trade..."

Situ Kun glanced over, Lin Yan did not give up, "The fire/gun matter is not a short-term achievement, but the benefits of maritime trade are imminent. And now it has been several years, we are developing this thing, how do we know that the West has not improved? I once heard Mr. Xiyang say that there are three treasures in the West, warships, firearms, and methods of raising and training soldiers."

"I still know a lot about firearms, but I'm not familiar with the training of warships. Your Majesty, if you defend the same enemy, knowing its shape or not knowing its shape has a lot of advantages and disadvantages."

Situ Kun couldn't help but think of Lin Yan's policy question yesterday: those who control foreign barbarians take the form of an enemy, and they look like a few seats;

"If Your Majesty is worried about firearms, you can first set up Guangzhou, Fujian, and Jinling as treaty ports. Establish a city ship department to try it out, strictly examine the businessmen who come and go, and show official documents that it is strictly forbidden to bring in firearms. Once found, they will be detained. , severely punished.”

Situ Kun nodded slightly, this is a way.A few fires/guns are not enough to fear, they can be banned.And if tens of millions of fire/guns are really coming, then the country's gate is opened, and the sea ban is not important.

"What you said, I will think about it carefully. After the Qionglin banquet, I will discuss it with all the officials."

Lin Yan was overjoyed that if he could ask all the officials to discuss it, it meant that Situ Kun let go of his mouth.

"Only about the fire/gun, you have to hurry up, I'll be waiting for you..." Before finishing speaking, Dai Quan hurried in, "Your Majesty, Mr. Du and Mr. Shen have something to see."

Sweat was dripping from his forehead, his expression was anxious and panicked, and he knew that there must be something serious, even if he didn't say anything.As long as Situ Kun didn't signal, Lin Yan and Lin Ruhai couldn't talk too much.Lin Yan gave Lin Ruhai a questioning look, and Lin Ruhai hurriedly stepped forward to ask for leave.

Situ Kun agreed, kept Situ Ling behind, and waved the Lin family father and son out.

As soon as they left the Xuanzheng Hall, the two saw Shen Yunzhou and Du Fan standing together, their expressions were not very good, both father and son frowned, it was only in such a place that it was inconvenient to ask, and Dai Quan had already led Shen Yunzhou and Du Fan enter.Lin Yan had no choice but to go down the steps with Lin Ruhai and get on the soft sedan prepared by the eunuch to leave the palace.

After entering the Lin Mansion, Lin Yan couldn't help it anymore, "Father, do you know what is the reason?"

Lin Ruhai's face was livid, and she didn't say a word.This situation obviously knows something.

Lin Yan frowned, "Father!"

Lin Ruhai regained his senses and said, "Do you know who was admitted in this imperial examination?"

Lin Yan was stunned.The results of the general examination are only ten days away from the palace examination, so how can he care about these things.Even if you pay attention, it's only the top few, and the next 100 or so, who knows!

"This time there are 190 people on the list, and the first ones are all people with household registration in the capital, and they are all members of the Imperial College. In addition to these three, there are five second-classes and seven third-classes. The rest are students from the south. North The number of people on the list is less than [-]%, which has never been seen before. Brother Yunzhou was worried that this would cause trouble, but now he is probably as expected."

As soon as the words finished, Lin Song heard Lin Song say, "Someone from the Shen family has arrived."

Lin Ruhai hurriedly stood up, "Please!"

"Master Lin, this is a letter my master wrote before entering the palace, and I will give it to you."

Lin Ruhai took it in a hurry, opened it for a look, and said, "Sure enough!"

At that time, Lin Huai, who was looking for news from outside, rushed in at the speed of a [-]-meter race, "Master, it's not good! The northern students gathered in front of the palace to demonstrate, saying that the imperial examination is unfair and there are disadvantages. The emperor will be the main examiner of the imperial examination." All the assistant examiners and others have been sent to jail, and the old master of the Shen family is also among them!"

Lin Yan's heart tightened, and he suddenly thought of the famous imperial examination case that happened in the 30th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty.

How similar?

And that case, after one or two months of turmoil, the final result was a group of examiners, more than [-] people, who were executed and who were sent to death.Only one examiner survived, and this was because the examiner was Taifu.

Although this world is superficial, many backgrounds are also based on the history of the parallel world, only with changes in characters and time.But the course of history is almost the same.

Well, if...

If this time is the same as the result in the Ming Dynasty, Shen Yunzhou...

Lin Yan felt as if someone had poured a basin of ice water all over his body, and it was cold from head to toe.

The author has something to say: defending the same enemy, knowing its shape and not knowing its shape, has a lot of advantages and disadvantages.

Those who control foreign barbarians are in the shape of an enemy, which is the same as a few seats; they are in the same shape as the enemy;
