As a salted fish, I was forced to become the teacher of all ages

It is precisely because of the chieftain's mentality that the rebellion has been repeated and annoying.

The more famous rebellions such as the Yang Yinglong Rebellion and the An Bangyan Rebellion in the Wanli year took a year to quell the former, but after the pacification, it was even more difficult to reform the land and return it to the local people, and the progress was slow; while the latter took advantage of Guizhou's complex terrain and The tug-of-war of the imperial court lasted for eight years, spent more than [-] soldiers and horses, and cost millions of taels of silver, and then...

Then Li Zicheng rebelled, and Daming, who was seriously injured, was killed by one blow.

Hua Manlou, who is familiar with history, naturally knows this, and also knows the difficulty of reforming the land and returning to the people, and knows that the person who used the iron fist to reform the land and return to the people is called Aixinjueluo Yinzhen, so...

Do you think he dares to express his opinions on Southwest affairs?What if he was sent to the Southwest to play with Toast?

Even if the chieftain did not rebel, the Dayengxia Rebellion that lasted throughout the Ming Dynasty still existed in Dazhao like a wonderful flower. The group of people who are in the court also regarded the Yao and Zhuang people living in the Dayengxia area as thieves, and doubled the money and food. Little officials don't treat these people as human beings, but...

The folk customs in Guangxi are tough. If you don't let people live, can people rise up?

It's okay to quell the civil unrest, but the intricate relationship between the local officials, the interests of the rich and the chieftain are involved, in short, thinking of the description in the history books, Huamanlou is in a cold sweat, so how can he express his opinion on this matter?

So to sum up, when Emperor Guangxing mentioned the south, Hua Manlou was highly vigilant about his mouth, so as not to owe him one or two more times and then kill himself alive - salted fish should stick to the duty of salted fish , It’s okay to go to fight Japanese pirates or flat chieftains, how fat is it?

Of course, Emperor Guangxing was only half joking when he said that he was sent to take a look. After all, Huamanlou was only 15 years old. The situation in the Southwest is too complicated, how could Emperor Guangxing be so unpredictable?

But the problem is...

The apprehension on Hua Manlou's face is obviously very clear about the situation in the south, and his hasty evasion proves this point, which actually surprised Emperor Guangxing—you know, most people in the court didn't think that What is the big deal in the south? They even regard the grassland people as a disease, not to mention the little Japanese pirates and chieftains?

One must know that after the matter in the northern border subsides, Emperor Guangxing will be free to take care of the affairs in the south. That's why he asked this question, hoping that Hua Manlou would have a different opinion from the court officials.But now that he seems to have an idea, how could Emperor Guangxing let him pass the test easily?

But today is not suitable to continue chatting, because Emperor Guangxing felt that Huamanlou was scared enough today, and the new year is approaching, even if Huamanlou has any opinions, it will be difficult to implement, so this matter is still on the table. It was a good idea after the year, so he smiled and said: "Forget it, you came back after chasing the hot air balloon all the way, let's go back and rest today."

Hua Manlou breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding..."

Emperor Guangxing said again: "Now that you know my identity, I will give you a sign to walk in the Forbidden Palace. In the future, if you need something, you can come to the palace yourself, and I will save running to find you."

Hua Manlou agreed, but she was thinking in her heart: Now that I know your identity, why would I come here to find trouble?

169. A Prophecy

What happened today was so exciting that Hua Manlou felt that his little heart couldn't take it anymore. After leaving the palace, he suddenly realized that he was sweating a lot.

after all……

Let's not talk about Emperor Guangxing, Zhao Ren is outrageous, how can there be such a prince?

This master surrounds Huamanlou all day long, sometimes barking like Brother Hua, and sometimes shouting like Brother Hua. When he asks for something, he is abnormally dog-legged, and even humbly smiles. This makes Huamanlou only think of him before. He is an ordinary brat, but who knew that this product has such a high content?

Prince!Great Zhao's successor!The future emperor!

The result is this?

Hua Manlou suddenly remembered that he had tried to laugh this low-spirited baby to death, and he had not only touched his dog's head, but also kicked him occasionally when he was fighting, this matter...

It has to be said that touching the prince's dog's head is more dangerous than touching the tiger's head. After all, tigers still have time to eat and don't want to eat people, but can the prince's head be touched casually?No wonder the long followers behind him at that time... Oh, now it seems that those people should be Zhao Ren's bodyguards, no wonder these bodyguards were so pale that they were about to die...

Thinking of these things, Hua Manlou broke into a cold sweat again.

After standing at the gate of the palace for a long time, Hua Manlou managed to get over this energy, and then remembered another thing: By the way, those two brothers-in-law... Bah, where's Brother Qi?

Speaking of these two, it was only then that Hua Manlou realized what they were doing: after a long time, the so-called technical exchange was to send people to Xishan to protect Zhao Ren!No wonder these two guys follow Zhao Ren from time to time!

But what about them now?

……

A little bit forward in time, at Wumen Gate.

When Zhao Ren stepped forward to explain the situation to Emperor Guangxing, the Qi family brothers were standing outside. Seeing that Hua Manlou and Emperor Guangxing met, the two couldn't help but look at each other: "Brother, is this an exposure?"

Qi Pengfei nodded and said, "That's good, so I don't have to keep hiding Huamanlou's secrets. What a real person, I always feel a little unreasonable to lie to him."

Qi Pengwu nodded and said, "Exactly, you will be punished for lying to honest people..."

After half a sentence, Qi Pengwu's face changed: "But marrying my younger sister to him, is it considered cheating?"

"It must be counted, but do you and I have a solution?" The corner of Qi Pengfei's mouth twitched: "My father's twitching before, now my body still hurts!"

Qi Pengwu also felt a little pain when he heard the words, and he said with a sullen face, "Then what should we do?"

Qi Pengfei gritted his teeth: "In the future, I will make more compensation for other things. Anyway, we will be a family in the future, and I can take him to play if I have anything..."

Qi Pengwu said: "Then what if Huamanlou doesn't recognize this matter?"

Qi Pengfei sighed and said, "I don't even recognize it, but since it's already been said, whether he admits it or not, we have the right to treat it as such and urge him to go to the house to propose a marriage. When Hua Shibo comes back, Dad can mention it to him, anyway... I don't want to be beaten."

During the discussion, Hua Manlou entered the palace with Emperor Guangxing, and when the two were about to go home and report the matter to Duke Ying, Qi Wanrong, who was full of anger, came and killed him.

"Where are the flowers all over the building?"

"He's entered the palace." Qi Pengfei pointed to the entrance of Wuwu, and said, "Little sister, why did you come here too?"

Qi Wanrong glanced at him, and said with a sneer: "Didn't the two elder brothers promise me to him? The elder brother is like a father, so I naturally want to listen to what the elder brother has to say. Since I am already a man of flowers, don't you?" Follow him and who?"

When Qi Pengwu heard this, he said happily: "Little sister, have you finally figured it out?"

Qi Wanrong squinted at him and said: "I don't think it's a problem, but you have to think about it. If you give your little sister to someone else in a bet, how will Daddy deal with you?"

After she finished speaking, she turned the horse's head and walked home, regardless of how weird the faces of the two brothers were.

Qi Pengfei looked at her back and said in a low voice: "Father? I'm afraid it's too late for Dad to be happy? How could he clean us up?"

It turned out that Qi Pengfei was only half right.

Because, no matter how happy Duke Ying is, he can't admit that he was responsible for putting the blame on others, so the Qi family brothers are the ones who are responsible?

Therefore, Qi Pengfei's words became a prophecy: there is a price to be paid for cheating honest people.

On this day, the screams of the two brothers resounded throughout the Duke Ying's mansion. It can be said that those who heard it were sad and those who heard it wept. This is not only tragic, it is simply...

Miserable!

……

Due to the particularity and danger of hot air balloons, Emperor Guangxing completely sealed the order not to allow people in the palace to spread the matter, and even the civil servants in the court received orders not to allow them to speak nonsense.

As for the folks...

How to say what the folks love, anyway, if you only see hot air balloons, you don’t understand the principle at all, and you don’t have such a big brain hole to imitate, and people in this era are still relatively ignorant. Many people regard this as Emperor Guangxing Shi Renzheng moved God, so he gave him some treasures that can prolong life...

I have to say that this is enough to see the simple wishes of the people. They only hope that the Guangxing Dynasty can last longer, so that everyone's life will be easier, right?

What?Didn't you say you were moved by God?If not, why did the fetish landed at the Meridian Gate and not at your door?

What?You say it can be man-made?Just a joke, since Pangu created the world, who can fly except gods?Even the birds made by Luban in the past may not be able to fly so high and for so long!

All in all, the hot air balloon really didn't cause a commotion in the capital as Huamanlou imagined, but it gave Emperor Guangxing a lot of prestige, so in his opinion, 'Uncle Zhao' didn't care about him this time The main thing is that his rule has become more stable...

After all, he is the emperor, and the emperor's heart is naturally the first, right?

In order to cooperate with Emperor Guangxing, Huamanlou also ordered the people in Xishan not to spread the matter, and especially warned the few cobblers who co-produced it not to mention this matter to anyone.

Of course, these cobblers have already entered Xishanwei under the arrangement of Huamanlou, and together with the previous craftsmen who developed firecrackers and Pudu, they formed the unique manufacturing team of Xishanwei, and according to the meaning of Emperor Guangxing Give them the little flag treatment.

Although this has the meaning of sealing the mouth, but since the founding of Zhao, the artisans have a different identity for the first time, so this has led to the enthusiasm of the artisans in Xishan to engage in research and development. I was struggling with my own ideas, and if I had no idea, I went to ask Huamanlou to give them some inspiration—Xishanwei's current consensus is to find Mr. Qian in case of indecision, and no matter what happens, Mr. Qian can always say something three.

Hua Manlou felt in a daze that he seemed to be busier?

(About popular science... How should I put it, I don’t want to. It takes six hours to write such a chapter, not only to compress the main points, but also to write a little more interesting. Is it easy for me? The background of the times is also the structure of the novel Ah... Of course, there will be less and less of these things later, after all, the story line has already been rolled out, right?)

170. Zhao Ren is still Zhao Ren

After Huamanlou returned to Xishan, the Qi family brothers and Qi Wanrong did not show up this time for some reason, but Zhao Ren ran over again.

And when he saw this brat was full of flowers, he couldn't help but get angry—after all, he should have been scared before, and now he came to his senses and found that he had been kept in the dark, didn't he have a little temper? ?

So seeing Zhao Ren walking into his room cheerfully, Hua Manlou immediately stood up and saluted: "My minister, Hua Manlou, kowtowed to His Highness the Crown Prince, I was far away from welcoming him, Your Highness, please forgive me..."

Looking at his posture, Zhao Ren couldn't help being a little confused: "Are you singing a big show?"

Hua Manlou said solemnly: "There is a difference between monarchs and ministers, etiquette cannot be discarded."

How smart Zhao Ren is, he could tell he was angry just by looking at him like this, so he smiled bitterly and said, "My father forbids me to speak, and even my father is ordered not to speak to you, so what can I do? Apologizing to you is not enough. Well?"

"Don't dare to take it seriously, Your Highness is too serious." Hua Manlou rejected people thousands of miles away with a face.

Zhao Ren was obviously made very uncomfortable by his words: "Brother, dear brother, don't you do this? It's weird, and I have to hide my identity when I come to Xishan. If you do this, I won't be able to stay here gone?"

Hua ManLou slanted at him and said: "Your Highness, as the crown prince, can't leave the palace at will, and it's quite inappropriate to come to the wilderness of Xishan. Now I will speak to His Majesty, please recall His Highness to Zhan Shifu. Teach carefully, after all, the crown prince is the foundation of the country..."

Although he was talking about running the train indiscriminately, Hua Manlou was still relieved: Zhao Ren is still an out-of-the-ordinary Zhao Ren. Good.

Of course, whether he will still be like this as he grows older is still open to debate, but at least it is not a big problem now.

Hua Manlou's move was intended to anger Zhao Ren and to test him, and he was really a little worried, after all...

It's sad to say that after Huamanlou's crossing, the only one who can be called a friend is this brat—Huang Zichao is counted as a subordinate. He could be considered a friend, so he really didn't want to lose a friend because of his status.

As for the future...

Maybe they will get separated after walking, but after all, isn't it okay now?

And Zhao Ren was furious when he heard that Hua Manlou actually wanted to send him back. He jumped up and said, "Do you mean to let me die? Hua Manlou, you are crazy!"

Hua Manlou said contemptuously: "You did the first grade of junior high school, but I can't do the fifteenth grade? That's why I haven't mentioned you pretending to be stupid and not studying!"

Zhao Ren hesitated for a moment, then immediately apologized with a smile: "This... Didn't I apologize? We are good brothers, so you won't cheat on me, right?"

After all this trouble, Hua Manlou was almost out of breath, so he snorted and said: "Okay, I just don't want to cheat you, so to be serious, it's not right for you to come to my place now and then, right? If something happens to you, will my head be enough to compensate you?"

Zhao Ren was stunned and said: "Here... what can happen? Who dares to come here to make trouble? Don't you know that people say that you are the number one in Xishanwei?"

This is the truth. After Huamanlou hanged and beat the Oirat cavalry, Xishanwei was immediately regarded as the first army of Dazhao. Under such circumstances, not many dared to come to Taisui to break ground.

Hua Manlou said airily: "Is this what I'm worried about? There will be more and more people here in the future, so many people will be difficult to investigate, what if some young people sneak in and hurt you?"

"That's why you said you want to conceal your identity, so you can just treat me as the nephew of an ordinary civil servant?" Seeing that Hua Manlou was about to refute, Zhao Ren said again: "I beg you, do you know how much I have come here?" It's not easy, my father completely gave those old guys in Zhan Shifu a holiday a year ago, it's up to me whether I can fool around in the next year, who am I going to learn the principles of things?"

When Hua Manlou heard this, he immediately became excited: "What kind of theory does the prince learn? Go learn your art of governing the country, don't make trouble!"

Zhao Ren said angrily: "You know that group of rotten scholars will only teach me the Four Books and Five Classics to cultivate one's morality and self-cultivation. Where did the art of governing the country come from?"

This is true, after all...

That's all the Hanlin people know, and what they do is extremely in line with the interests of civil servants, isn't it?The prince will be an emperor in the future. An emperor who is close to civil officials, trusts them, and treats them preferentially is better than an emperor who is out of control and out of tune, right?

Zhao Ren couldn't get angry when he mentioned this, because from his point of view, some things the attendants said were obviously contrary to common sense, but they regarded them as the truth. His IQ is not low. As he grew older and started to think independently, he couldn't help but have some questions, for example: If the implementation of benevolent governance can really make people's lives better, why did the emperor after more than ten years of hard work? , the people are still miserable?Is there something more important in this?

So as soon as Hua Manlou talked about this matter, Zhao Ren's resentment arose: "If you don't let me stay in Xishan, then...then I will go to my father and cry and let you accompany me to Zhan Shi as a servant." Go to the government to study, and then I will see who will be more sad!"

If it was before he wrote poems to ridicule literati a few days ago, Hua Manlou would be very happy to let him go quickly after hearing this, but now...

Since the incident with Nie Yuantu, the Hanlin Academy has regarded Huamanlou as a heretic, and most of the attendants of Zhan Shifu are Hanlin. If this is the case, Huamanlou will not be killed by this group of people?After all, he is a lecturer and he is a lecturer. The lecturer has at least the status of a half-teacher, but these days, they are very particular about respecting teachers. They were kicked by Emperor Guangxing without seeing Zhao Ren slandering a word. pause?

So if it falls into other people's hands, can Huamanlou get a good deal?

So he could only sigh: "Forget it, stay here if you like, go wherever you want, I'm busy!"

Zhao Ren immediately beamed and said, "Okay! Then I'll go... No, the previous test of the hot air balloon was basically no problem, and now it's time to do the manned experiment. Don't you keep an eye on it?"

Hua Manlou said sadly: "Let's put this matter aside for now, and it's best to do other experiments first, such as the control of the furnace fire control and so on. Let's talk about it after this thing is finished..."

Zhao Ren immediately cheered up: "I heard that you want to build a new type of artillery? You said earlier that you should update this thing! Let's release the hot air balloon first, and I will accompany you to develop this first!"

Hua Manlou immediately felt extremely irritable: "Go learn your math first!"

In fact, seeing the end of the new year, Huamanlou is not in the mood to engage in research and development at all. Even if he agreed to Emperor Guangxing, the research and development will have to be a process. The length of this process is Huamanlou himself. Forget it, so as long as the hot air balloons are no longer in the air, can’t research and development slowly wear off?

And what Hua Manlou was more worried about was that if he messed around too fast, and Xi Shanwei seemed to be on the right track, what would happen if Emperor Guangxing sent him to the Southwest for fun?

171. Long Admired Name

After confirming that Zhao Ren was still the same Zhao Ren, Hua Manlou reassured him, and at the same time turned him, Emperor Guangxing, and Ying Guogong into a group of people: To put it bluntly, Hua Manlou felt that this group of people was the same as Zhao Ren. The stumbling block on his salty fish road is the existence that specifically causes trouble for himself.

But even so, Hua Manlou didn't have the slightest temper towards these people, who could not afford to offend him?

Since you can't afford it, then simply hide away and reduce your sense of existence, anyway...

Isn't it the Chinese New Year soon?

Although this is Huamanlou's first year after crossing over, as a modern person, he has no feeling for the new year. He just wants to take advantage of this time to catch fish for a few more days-there are many things in the palace, Zhao Renshen Because the prince had to go back to work, he was recalled within two days of his arrival, so Huamanlou could finally calm down.
