My Brother-in-law is the Prince Chapter 302

  Chapter 302 Congratulations to Your Majesty

   Zhang Anshi just wanted to get up on his hips.

  However, it should be low-key at this time, so he put on a calm look, and patted Zhu Zhanji next to him lightly.

   Zhu Zhanji was still dumbfounded, as if he couldn't recover for a long time.

  Zhang Anshi suppressed the complacency on his lips, and said, "How about it, uncle, is it okay?"

  At this time, some eunuchs began to come out with beaten rabbits and moose riddled with holes.

  One person is obviously not enough, so more and more eunuchs joined in consciously.

  In this paddock, dozens of eunuchs began to get busy.

  It's just that the hares here are not as complete as the hares hit by arrows. Many rabbits have half of their bodies smashed to pieces.

  Zhang Anshi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, I, Zhang, is kind-hearted! Unlike these archers, it must be known that the arrow passed through the body of the hare. The hare did not die so quickly. It must have been bleeding and struggling for a long time before it died.

Zhang Anshi's machine gun is simply more kind-hearted than Guanshiyin Bodhisattva. Once hit, with the body of a hare, he will be killed almost instantly, safe and painless. Suffering, this is already a great humanitarian progress.

  Zhu Zhanji couldn't close his jaw, and then...the **** said: "One..."

   "Two..."

   "Seventeen..."

   "Fifty-nine..."

   "One hundred and twenty-seven..."

   "One hundred and ninety-nine..."

  It was very quiet here, except for the counting eunuchs, no one made a sound.

  Everyone listened with bated breath, and many people looked at Zhang Anshi's small cannon like seeing a ghost.

  Obviously... They searched through all the terrifying memories in their minds, and they can never imagine how terrifying the things they saw today are.

  This... is the enemy of ten thousand people.

  For those children, it may just be fear.

   But for Zhu Di, Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and others, it was a completely different feeling.

   Besides being creepy, their eyes were shining.

   This thing... This thing...

  Imagine setting up one at the gate of the city. There are so many soldiers and horses outside that they might not be able to rush into the city.

  If there were so many of them during the charge, it was almost conceivable that as soon as the sound of this thing sounded, countless people would fall down like they were being cut.

  There is this thing...

  Fucking into his mother, what about riding and shooting? Isn't this a big joke? Not to mention riding a horse, even riding an elephant is not enough to fight.

  Zhu Di's breathing began to be heavy unconsciously.

  At this time, some people continued to shout: "Two hundred and seventy-five."

   "Three hundred and eighty-five..."

  Although Zhang Anshi knew the power of Xiaopao before, he was still blushing with excitement when he heard this number.

   Very good, it really broke the record.

   "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."

Finally, an **** hurried to Zhu Di's feet, prostrated himself, and hissed, "It's been calculated. Four hundred and two hares, twenty-seven elks, six wild boars, and other wild animals... There are thirty-nine heads."

   This has surpassed the sum of Zhu Di and his ministers today.

  Zhu Di: "..."

  Zhu Di said nothing.

  Everyone was silent.

But at this time, Jin Zhong shouted: "Your Majesty, this review, Zhang Anshi is the first, no...Wei Guogong's...hunting is the first since the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Pangu opened the world. I have read all the history books, and I have never seen it like this. For those who return with a full load, the Ministry of War...represents the merits, and Zhang Anshi will be the number one warrior of our Ming Dynasty."

  Zhu Di: "..."

Zhu Yong and the others were originally in high spirits. There were quite a few teenagers standing not far from Zhu Yong, and they shot a lot of wild animals, and they were even more delighted. But now... everyone's faces twitched involuntarily. All the light is dimmed now.

  Seven or eight are games.

   There are more than a dozen of them, which is considered outstanding.

   But now... it's all a fart.

   All the war records combined are not as good as Zhang Anshi.

  Everyone hunted panting, and when they got off their horses, they were all sweating profusely and breathing heavily.

   But look at Zhang Anshi, but his face is not red, he is not out of breath, and he is very leisurely.

   Compete with each other.

  Seeing that the crowd still didn't respond, Jin Zhong shouted again with a joyful voice: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Majesty."

   Finally, everyone reacted.

yes.

   If this is not congratulations, then you are really a fool.

  Zhu Neng grinned, smiled, and took the lead to say to Zhu Di: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, I have this fetish in the Ming Dynasty, and the north will never suffer."

  Qiu Fu and the others bowed down tactfully.

  Xu Huizu became excited and couldn't help but glance at Zhang Anshi.

  Anyone who has led soldiers will know how powerful this thing is.

  And any Taishan will feel that having a son-in-law like Zhang Anshi, who is fast and fast, is equivalent to picking up a treasure.

  Xu Huizu wants to show a bit of reserve, after all, he is his son-in-law, so he has to show a bit...I'm not proud.

  However, limited self-cultivation is not allowed, because he wanted to sullenly, but puffed up, happy, so he hurriedly turned his face away, unable to bear to let others see his complacency.

On the other side, Xu Jingchang was also full of ambition, and said cheerfully: "This is my brother-in-law, this is my brother-in-law! My brother-in-law has long taught me that to be a man, you need to use your brain. How can a man achieve great things if he doesn't use his brain? "

  Like this, it can be said to be extremely proud!

On the other side, someone timidly said: "Let's think about it, my father married the sister of the Marquis of Baoding, that is, my mother, and my mother has a brother who married the daughter of His Royal Highness An, who is also my aunt, my aunt's My father is His Highness King An, and His Highness An married your little aunt as his concubine. Your little aunt's elder brother is Duke Wei, and Duke Wei married the daughter of Duke Wei... Calculated in this way, I am also a relative of Duke Wei. Yes, but I'm stupid, I can't figure out what to call him, forget it, I don't think much about it, I will call him brother-in-law from now on."

  The teenagers muttered, all with envious expressions on their faces.

This thing is so shocking, it has far exceeded their imagination, everyone is crying, there are many teenagers on weekdays, after all, they are from the house of Xunchen, and every one of them wants to be like their father and grandfather, gallop like a grandpa The battlefield, but after all, they were born to be pampered, and they are unwilling to work hard, so they can't endure this kind of suffering.

  It's different now, there's hope, carrying such a thing on the battlefield, whoever dares to get close, will shoot his mother, cats and dogs will all retreat.

  Zhu Di took a deep breath and finally calmed himself down.

  So he said: "Zhang Qing's family...is listed as the first name, no, since the beginning of the world, it has been hunting for the first name."

   Zhang Anshi was waiting for this moment, so he stepped forward and said, "Thank you for your grace."

   What an honor to be the first in the exam!

  Zhu Di asked, "What is this?"

  Everyone looked at Zhang Anshi, all looking thirsty for knowledge.

Zhang Anshi then said: "This...it's called a machine gun. It's a kind-hearted minister who always sees that on the battlefield, swords and guns have no eyes. When the blood is gone to death, the pain is unimaginable to ordinary people, so I thought, although we are enemies, but God has the virtue of being good at life, and it is inhumane to fight on the battlefield. If we still teach them to suffer and die like this , It's really not the style of my Great Ming Dynasty, a state of etiquette, so I uphold this kindness and lead the craftsmen to tackle key problems day and night, and finally the emperor has paid off the good-hearted people, and finally made this thing.”

  The corners of Zhu Di's mouth twitched, his temper was impatient, and he immediately said in a rough voice: "I only ask you what this is, why are you so troublesome!"

  Zhang Anshi: "..."

  Jin Zhong came alive, this kid has at least 90% of the true biography of Monk Yao! To be honest, it would be a pity not to be a monk, or to go to the street to test people's characters and fortune-telling.

He immediately said: "Your Majesty, what Duke Wei said shows that I attach great importance to both kindness and power. I also saw the battle on the battlefield, the pain of wounded soldiers, and the intractable medicine, and the person was still alive, so I wailed for several days. Seeing this thing, everyone who falls in it will be killed immediately, which is indeed considered... benevolent."

  Zhu Di waved his hand: "This gun is so powerful, it's an eye-opener."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, I think... bowing a horse can certainly temper a person's character, but I, Daming, rely on bowing a horse, but it is not enough to win."

  Zhu Di nodded: "Well... what you said makes sense."

Zhu Di had to admit that what he did was really unrealistic. If it was difficult, if the Southern Army had a few such things, the iron cavalry he was proud of would be torn apart quickly. There is no gap, and it is impossible to effectively strike the Southern Army.

Zhang Anshidao: "I have always been thinking that the reason why our Central Plains is far better than the Siyi is that the fundamental reason is that my country of the Middle Earth has always had more skilled craftsmen than the Siyi. At that time, the enfeoffment of the princes and the conquest of the four barbarians relied on the exquisite copper smelting. In the Qin and Han Dynasties, the iron smelting in the Qin and Han Dynasties had far surpassed that of the four barbarians. It is a large number of bows and crossbows, wearing armor, sharp swords, wherever they pass, the barbarians are all invincible."

"But since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the world has been controlled by a group of Confucian scholars who only know the classics. The aristocratic families ignored the equipment and valued the classics. I am the root of the Central Plains uniform craftsman."

   "Let's talk about this machine gun, if countless craftsmen didn't work hard, how could it be made? If this thing goes to the battlefield, how many lives can be saved..."

  Zhu Di listened carefully, but thoughtfully.

  The rest of the generals also fell into deep thought.

  Zhang Anshi obviously has a purpose. It is of course good for the meritorious disciples to learn how to bow and horse. This can sharpen the hearts of many people.

  Some people are born unable to join the army like their fathers and grandparents. Why can't these people be trained in other directions?

  The status of a craftsman is too low. The status of a scholar, farmer, businessman, and craftsman is not much better in Daming.

   This basically cut off any yearning for craftsmen from the vast majority of nobles and wealthy children.

  Historically, the progress of science has been promoted by some low-level craftsmen, but in fact... since the Industrial Revolution, the vast majority of scientists have mostly come from the families of nobles and wealthy businessmen.

   It's not that these people are smarter than the lower-level children.

  It's just because the vast majority of ordinary people have difficulty eating three meals a day, and they have to mechanically do hard work every day for food and clothing.

  As for research and invention, in many cases, although ideas appear, they need to be tested again and again. Before success, it is impossible to bring any benefits. Which ordinary person can bear such a time cost?

It is precisely the children of nobles and wealthy businessmen who have had the opportunity to receive a good education since they were young. At the same time, their understanding of science may not come from the pressure of life, but in many cases, it is purely out of their understanding of science. This is also the driving force for them to continue their in-depth research. In the process of experimentation, they are also willing to spend a lot of manpower and material resources. Even if there is some research, even if it is just useless work, failure is still acceptable to them.

  The problem lies in this, the current contempt of craftsmen, it is impossible for any rich merchants and noble children to get in touch with engineering, even if they have any interest, they will definitely be stopped decisively, because this is simply a great shame to the family.

   To achieve this, the most important thing is to change everyone's ideas and make certain craftsmen become objects of admiration. Only in this way, will some people start to aspire to become people like those master craftsmen, and their names will go down in history.

  Rather than spending too much time on horses and the Four Books and Five Classics that are not of interest, it is better to put your ingenuity on promoting the progress of science.

  Even if this kind of progress is very small, once it enters a virtuous circle, the benefits it will bring to the whole world will be enormous.

So Zhang Anshi continued: "So I think that under the sage, there is no distinction between scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen. When punished."

  As soon as these words came out, Zhu Neng and the others were still smiling. They obviously didn't like these words very much.

   But Jin Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of War who came along, gave Zhang Anshi a surprised look.

  Of course Jin Zhong knew that Zhang Anshi had started to 'speech nonsense' again.

   These words, I am afraid that scholars will find it harsh after listening to them.

   Fortunately, Jin Zhong is not a scholar, he is a warlock with a fortune-telling background, so Zhang Anshi did not scold him, and put him on the same level as the business.

  Zhu Di's eyes were shining brightly, and he said: “I understand what you mean, what Zhang Qing's family means is… these craftsmen should also be rewarded.”

  Zhang Anshi doesn't know whether Zhu Di is really confused or fake. What he said is... People should not use their occupations to distinguish between high and low, good and bad.

  However... Zhang Anshi was happy to see the success of this, so he said: "Your Majesty and the others' achievements are nothing to worry about..."

"If this is nothing to worry about, then all my honorable ministers will be ashamed." Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi calmly and said: "Zhang Qing is right, you should repay your merits, and Zhang Qing draws up a list of meritorious officials. , Anyone who is involved in this thing should be sent to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War should confer titles or bestow titles on them in recognition of their achievements."

  Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di with piercing eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, is this considered military merit?"

   Only those who have made military achievements can be knighted.

  Zhang Anshi thinks it is better to fight for the right to define it first. Once it is defined as military merit, then...it will be justified.

  Zhu Di was also generous, and said boldly: "Such a great achievement is of course considered military merit. With this, isn't military merit easy to obtain?"

  Zhang Anshi said: "On behalf of them, I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

  Zhu Di looked at Jin Zhong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War: "In my opinion, we can draw up a charter for the meritorious service of craftsmen. All craftsmen who have made contributions to the national economy and people's livelihood of our Ming Dynasty should be rewarded for their merits."

  Jin Zhong agreed with a smile, what he wished for, at least with this machine gun, he, Minister of the Ministry of War, can sit back and relax.

  Zhu Di was in a good mood. After finishing the business, he said: "Come here, teach people to cook wild animals, prepare dinner, drink and have fun here tonight, and celebrate Zhang Qing's winning the first name."

  Everyone said long live.

  Zhu Di was still in high spirits, but on the other side, Qiu Fu had quickly returned to his tent.

  He immediately picked up a pen and began to edit the book. This letter was sent to Zhu Gaoxu. Qiu Fu and Zhu Gaoxu had a life-long friendship. When Zhu Gaoxu wanted to fight for the reserve, Qiu Fu almost supported Zhu Gaoxu with all his strength.

  Although Zhu Gaoxu failed in the end, for Qiu Fu, this friendship still exists.

   Knowing that there is such a gadget at this time, he immediately realized that it will be of great help to Zhu Gaoxu who is far away in Annan.

That kid is always worrying people in Annan, things on the battlefield are changing rapidly, and if there is any mistake, he may die. Now this machine gun is a piece of cake, and it is hard to make it when you look at it. You have to get someone to notify Zhu Gaoxu and report to him immediately. Zhang Anshi begged for a few doors. With this thing, wouldn't it kill the Quartet?

  On the other side, it was Ningyuan Hou He Fu who quietly returned to his tent, and began to write vigorously.

  He Fu's daughter, married Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui as the princess, and now her son-in-law and daughter are still in Java. Although there are letters sent, saying that everything is fine, but He Fu is not at all relieved.

   At this time, his eyes were shining brightly, and he took up a pen to write a book, teaching the king of Zhao to buy this thing no matter how much he paid, and he must not be stingy with gold and silver. All in all, awesome.

   That night, the feast was carried out in an orderly manner.

   Zhu Di was very happy.

  He ordered Zhang Anshi to come closer and ask about the manufacturing process of this machine gun.

Zhang Anshi replied in a straightforward manner: "Your Majesty, this is a systematic project. First of all, steel with sufficient strength is required, which benefits from the improvement of smelting skills. In addition, there is also alchemy. I found that , there is a dye that can extract the formula needed for a new type of gunpowder. In addition, it depends on the exquisite craftsmanship of the craftsman..."

  Zhang Anshi spoke vividly, but Zhu Di just listened carefully. Although he didn't understand very well, it didn't prevent him from trying his best to understand with interest.

  While the wine was over, Zhu Di proudly caressed Zhang Anshi's back and said, "This is a thousand-mile horse."

  Zhu Zhanji, who was sitting next to Zhu Di, said: "My lord, I am also a thousand-mile horse."

   "Yes, yes, yes." Zhu Di laughed and said, "You are also a thousand-mile horse. My family thousand-mile horse will become a great weapon in the future."

  Zhu Zhanji was also overjoyed. When Zhang Anshi came out of the big tent, he was drunk and staggered to go back to his tent.

  Unexpectedly, under the darkness of night, dozens of people suddenly stopped him. Seeing so many people rushing out all of a sudden, and all of them looked obscene, Zhang Anshi was shocked and suddenly sobered up.

  Zhang Anshi hurriedly shouted: "Come on, hurry up..."

   "Brother-in-law." Xu Jingchang held him back and said excitedly, "Is it me?"

   "Who are you?" Zhang Anshi frowned and looked at him, feeling that this guy looked familiar.

   "Me, me, Xu Jingchang..."

   Many teenagers in the back are chirping about wanting to get relatives.

   Zhang Anshi's heart was slowly relaxed when he mentioned it, he calmed down, and put on a look of a senior: "Why, you are so well behaved, why are you sneaking around?"

  Xu Jingchang said: "Brother-in-law, we want to see that machine gun."

  Zhang Anshi said: "You know a bird, don't bump into it, it's very dangerous."

  Xu Jingchang was a little disappointed, but he was not discouraged, but said: "We want to learn how to make it."

   "Do you want to learn?" Zhang Anshi looked at them suspiciously, and then smiled: "What's the use of you learning? Isn't it just to let people know how great you are, to make people look at you with admiration, and to know that you are not a fool?"

This rhetorical question just hit Xu Jingchang and the others' minds, and they all nodded and said: "Yes, yes, that's what we think, brother-in-law... we are not promising, but now it seems that familiarity with bow horses is useless , but that thing looks fresh, brother-in-law, pass it on to us, and we will ask you to be our master."

   As he spoke, they all seemed to bow down.

  A boy of this age is the most malleable, and it happens to be the time when his curiosity is the strongest. At this moment, he can only wish to kowtow to Zhang Anshi.

  Zhang Anshi wished for it in his heart. If Dingguo Gong had studied engineering and set an example, then craftsmen would indeed not be regarded as lowly professions.

  Of course, he couldn't show it immediately.

  Zhang Anshi made a bitter face, put on a embarrassed look and said: "Is that so, learning this is very hard."

  This is true, how can the teenagers admit that they are not good enough? So they all swore and said: "We are not afraid of hardship."

Zhang Anshi looked thoughtful, paused, and then said: "Well, you go to the workshop first, and learn step by step. There... there are many secrets in that place. If you go, you can't go in and out easily, and you have to go there. Stay obediently for a few months, and I will make arrangements then."

   How can everyone not agree? Everyone was overjoyed and nodded their heads in agreement.

  In the early morning of the next day, just as Chu Yang came out, Zhang Anshi was woken up.

  After a night of hangover, I woke up feeling a bit swollen and painful in my head. I reluctantly took a shower, and finally my mind was clearer. As soon as he got out of the big tent, he saw Yi Shiha standing here, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.

  Yi Shiha happily said: "Duke Wei, congratulations, Your Majesty has a favor."
