Last time, we talked about the strange baby girl who "Ji Mei Di" conquered her parents with "miracles" and made them sell their property to build the "ancestral hall", which immediately caused a sensation!

"Oh? Really? Is this happening? That little carpenter must have some abilities, right? Otherwise, how could he dare to be so blatant?"

The majestic King Jingjiang, who was dressed in a python robe, was very interested in the carpenter's family being able to create such a sensation, and he half-smiled.

"Yes, yes, that's what the prince said." The palace steward nodded and said with a smile: "I heard that the young carpenter is not only good at his craftsmanship, but he is also a descendant of Lu Ban. He commercializes "The Book of Lu Ban" and knows how to make heretical remarks. I gave birth to 13 girls in a row, but I couldn’t give birth to a son.”

"Oh my, what a good guy!" The prince was shocked when he heard this: "This guy is really strong in that area. I guess he has several wives and concubines, right?"

"Uh... Your Majesty, you misunderstood. How can a young carpenter have the financial resources to marry several wives? It would be great if he could marry an ugly girl from a poor family!"

"Oh? Is it true or false? I once heard that if you study "The Book of Lu Ban", you will have to 'miss one thing'. Either you will be a widower, lonely and disabled, or you will have a son with no buttocks. Anyway, none of them will die well? What, that little carpenter? He was not cursed by 'Master Luban'? And he was able to produce 13 daughters in a row?"

"Uh...this...is really unbelievable, even I don't know it!" The palace steward looked embarrassed and quickly said with a smile: "Perhaps it is the virtue accumulated by his family's ancestors. Not only is it a single inheritance for nine generations, but it also ensures that every generation will have descendants. That’s why I sold my family’s property to build the Patriarch’s Hall, and at the same time, I hired a bride.”

"Huh? Haha, I am conscious." King Jingjiang said noncommittally: "Well, since this strange thing happened on my boundary on Guangnan West Road, I can't turn a blind eye. Even if I have no power to interfere in politics, I am still a descendant of Emperor Taizu Hongwu. We are blood relatives, so we should have no problem recruiting craftsmen at will."

"Uh... what the prince means... is he trying to secretly summon that little carpenter to build the 'Prince's Mausoleum' together? But..." the palace's housekeeper turned his eyes and said, "but the expenses are all funded by the imperial court. , I’m afraid it will cause misunderstanding and think that the prince covets his underage daughter.”

"Humph, so what if there is a misunderstanding? Is it possible that I, the mighty King Jingjiang of the Ming Dynasty, can't keep as many wives and concubines as I want? Who dares to take care of the emperor's relatives?"

Prince Jingjiang became angry and said with a murderous look on his face: "Isn't it just a matter of finding a few more young girls to lose their virginity? What's the big deal? Besides, the blood of virgins contains the power of pure yin, which can calm liver fire, remove dryness and heat, and strengthen the body. Yuan, prolonging life is the only way to cultivate one’s moral character!”

"Uh... this... just by doing this, will I risk the disapproval of the world? I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate if the envoy of the government knows about it."

"Humph, this won't work, that won't work either. Is this vassal king just a decoration?" King Jingjiang was furious, waved his sleeves and left.

"Uh...I...this crow's mouth? Huh, damn it!" Although the palace steward is nominally a retainer of the vassal king, he is actually registered with the court, and his salary is also linked to the local fiscal revenue, which is not only affected by " The "Chief Envoy" supervision must also be monitored by the East and West Second Factories.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang's fourth son, Zhu Di, sent troops south as the "King of Yan" and relied on the "Battle of Jingnan" to defeat his nephew Zhu Yunwen, the "Emperor Jianwen", and seized the throne of the Ming Dynasty from him, he immediately issued an edict stipulating that all vassals The king was not allowed to make pilgrimages to the capital without permission, and it was forbidden to communicate with each other.

Therefore, since Emperor Yongle Zhu Di successfully seized power from his nephew "Emperor Jianwen", the good days of the old Zhu family's vassals all over the world have come to an end. After all, how can others be allowed to snore next to the bed? In the most exaggerated case, you can't even leave the fiefdom at will.

, you must report to the secret service when entering or exiting the royal city.

In fact, the housekeeper knew that his prince was just a "paper tiger" and had no right to interfere with the civil, military, and financial affairs of the fiefdom. He could only rely on the Chief Envoy and the factory security agents to deal with it, so he hurriedly went to find the Chief Envoy.

I reported it to avoid being made trouble by the spies.

"What? King Jingjiang wants to recruit the carpenter's family to build the royal tomb? Huh, no! The royal court's salary is not used to support idle people, especially the carpenter's dozen young daughters!" The chief envoy dressed in official clothes

The second-grade official uniform, wearing a black gauze hat, looked dignified and silent: "I don't agree!"

"Uh... I humbly obey my orders!" The palace steward quickly bowed and saluted, then turned and left. Although he was full of curses in his heart, the situation was better than the others!

"Pa--------------------------------------------------------------------------------"

Carrying a crossbow on his back, the strange thing is that there is also a three-foot-long "Frangji" hanging on his waist.

The so-called "Flangji" is the Ming Dynasty's name for "Portugal" in the West. At that time, Spain, Portugal and other private capital organized sailing expedition teams and successfully opened up new routes. They not only achieved global navigation, but also went to the Ming Dynasty overseas in the Far East.

Dependency, colonization and trade of Fuso Islands.

Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese nation successively obtained many of the more advanced gunpowder weapons from the Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and other Westerners, copied them and equipped the army to improve their combat effectiveness. These Western guns and artillery played an important role in dealing with Mongolian cavalry and Japanese pirates.

played a huge role.

Qi Jiguang specifically mentioned "Folangji" in "Jixiao New Book", because his "Folangji" is divided into six types of "Folangji" No. 1 to No. 6, with lengths ranging from nine feet to one foot.

"Guns" and "Guns" are respectively used for city defense, field direct fire support and individual combat, and are far stronger than bows and crossbows.

This shows that the Ming Dynasty’s imitation of the “Fo Lang Machine” was not only comparable to the original Portuguese guns, but could also be improved according to actual needs.

In addition to the large, medium and small "Folang Machine", the improved "Folang Machine" recorded in the classics also include the "horse-mounted Folang Machine" specially used by cavalry troops, the "Meteor Cannon", the "Hundred Folang Machine", "

"Lianzhu Folangji", "Wansheng Folangji", etc. are used by infantry troops and garrison troops in various places.

"May I ask, sir, what are your instructions?" The two captains of the official bodyguards, with their bright helmets on, came forward to welcome him, cupping their hands and clasping their fists, bowing and saluting.

"Go to the Gutian office to check. I heard that a carpenter named 'Cui' wants to sell his property to build an 'ancestral hall', and also wants to recruit disciples and even bring in brides?" The envoy of Chengxuan paused and said, "I don't want to

Seeing the second 'Wei Yinbao' appear, once a civil uprising is triggered, blood will flow like a river!"

"I obey! Let's go!" After the two official bodyguard captains nodded to each other, they led their men back to the secret room at the side door, waiting for a change of appearance before setting off. After all, officials at all levels in the Ming Dynasty were always in the middle of the East Factory.

Under the supervision of the Xichang secret service, private use of public power is prohibited.

After finally staying up until dark, the carpenter and his daughters were busy burying pots and making rice for those who came to help build houses.

The vast majority of these people are neighbors and villagers from ten miles and eight villages, and the majority of them are young and strong laborers. After all, building a small "ancestral hall" only takes up one room at most.

But considering that the number of apprentices will increase in the future, we have to rammed earth to build walls and build new houses.

These "new houses" and the "ancestral hall" together formed a house covering an area of ​​two to three acres. Although the roofs were all thatched, it also consumed a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. It cost nearly thirty taels of silver.

It is completely worth the rations of an ordinary family of five for at least ten years!

Among them, more than ten taels of silver were obtained by taking the "gold-plated" bronze mirror to a pawn shop to "pawn it". After all, the carpenter's family is not rich!

Just as the villagers began to enjoy their "cosmetic meals" under the moonlight, they suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from a distance and rushing towards them.
