After seeing the steamboat, Emperor Zhide returned to the palace in a happy mood.

Before leaving, he did not forget to ask Dai Quan to leave two chamberlains behind, so that they could learn how to operate the steam fan and then return to the palace with the machine, saying that they would use it as a tribute to the Supreme Emperor.

After sending the emperor and several big bosses away, Lin Yun called Ning Yue and Xiao Jiayuan and asked them to get the official seal and then immediately rush to the Dagu Shipyard with Ning Heng to count and seal the inventory of wood inside.

He himself had to wait for Hu Xiangyi to bring someone over and go to Dagu Shipyard together.

Lin Yun's arrangement was in line with Xiao Jiayuan and Ning Yue's wishes. Both of them were eager to get to the Dagu Shipyard as soon as possible.

…

After sending all the guests away, the old miracle doctor and Lin Heng walked over together.

The emperor's visit made Mr. Hengda very excited. He asked Lin Yun to ask questions, fearing that his son would say something wrong in front of the emperor.

When talking about the sale of steam fans, the old miracle doctor asked curiously: "Boy Yun, why do you want to sell the steam fans before His Majesty?"

Lin Yun: "The manufacturing material of the steam fan requires a portion of steel. I don't dare to mess with this without His Majesty's nod of approval."

The old miracle doctor nodded and said, "Since you know the stakes involved, I can rest assured."

Lin Heng: "Yun'er, can your brother participate in this steam fan business?"

"Father, it will definitely be too late this year. Wait until next summer, and I will have a steam fan factory built in Jiangnan and leave it to my brother to manage."

"Then it's settled."

Lin Yun suddenly remembered something, and he asked the old miracle doctor: "Old man, you told me last time that Mu Shi, the king of Dongping County, passed away, but why is there still a Dongping County King on Taiwan Island? Who is he?"

The old miracle doctor: "The Dongping County Prince you are talking about is Mu Rui. He is Mu Shi's younger brother. Mu Shi had no children, only one daughter. After his death, the emperor transferred the title of Dongping County Prince to his younger brother.

Mu Rui,"

"Can the court appoint and remove officials from Taiwan?"

The old miracle doctor's expression changed when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "Boy Yun, why do you suddenly ask about this?"

Lin Yun: "It's okay. I heard Prince Zhongshun talk about the Dutch wanting to invade Taiwan today, so I wanted to know about the situation there."

The old miracle doctor: "The old King Dongping has three sons and one daughter. The eldest son Mu Shi serves as the military minister in Beijing, the second son Mo Rui serves as the governor of Taiwan Island, and the other son named Mu Kui is in charge of the navy of Taiwan Island."

Lin Yun hurriedly asked: "Who does he have another daughter to marry?"

The old miracle doctor: "His daughter is called Mu Xiang, and she is married to Jia She, the eldest man of Rongguo Mansion."

"ah!"

Lin Yun was shocked when he heard this. He thought to himself: "No wonder people say that the Jia family is so powerful. It turns out there is such a big backer behind them."

The old miracle doctor added: "The Mu family and the Jia family used to have a very good relationship, but since Mu Xiang's death, the two families have stopped contacting each other. After Mu Shi's death, the two families broke off their relationship."

Lin Yun hurriedly asked: "Old man, do you know how Mu Xiang died?"

The old miracle doctor shook his head and said: "I don't know. Some say he died of illness, some say he died of anger, and some even say he committed suicide. My guess is that Master Pardon did something wrong that caused the eldest wife to die.

, the two families severed contact with each other.”

When Lin Yun thought about it, it was really possible. Judging from Jia Mu's attitude towards Jia She, she knew that Mr. She must have done something unforgivable.

Lin Yun thought for a while and then asked: "Old miracle doctor, which family did Mr. Jing of Jia's East Mansion marry a girl from?"

The old miracle doctor: "She is the eldest daughter of the Zhen family in Jinling, and the sister of Princess Beijing, Zhen Fu."

"Uh~"

Lin Yun thought to himself: "Fortunately, the Jia family has not produced many talents. With this kind of marriage, no matter who becomes the emperor, the power of the Jia family will be suppressed."

Uncle Heng didn't understand politics. After listening to the old doctor's introduction, he marveled and said: "The two princes of the Jia family are really not simple. These relatives are either rich or noble. They are really enviable."

Lin Yun said speechlessly: "Father, the two princes of the Jia family earned their titles on the battlefield and earned them by fighting with swords and guns. We really can't compare with this."

Lin Heng chuckled and said, "My father is just saying a few words of emotion. I don't want you to go fight on the battlefield and come back with a title."

Lin Yun: "Don't worry, father, if you have the opportunity to go to the battlefield, my son will not let you down."

Lin Heng said hurriedly: "Don't do this. As a father, I would rather not have a title than see you go to the battlefield to kill."

The old miracle doctor warned Lin Yun: "Boy Yun, don't forget your identity. Even if you don't think about Ke'er, you should think more about the child in her belly and think twice before you act."

Lin Yun said hurriedly: "Don't get me wrong, old man, I was just joking."

The old miracle doctor said solemnly: "It's best not to make this joke. When I hand over Kerr to you, you have to protect her for the rest of her life. Don't let me down."

"If you understand."

…

Lin Yun returned to the inner house and saw a group of girls gathered around Qin Keqing, watching Qin Zhong and Cheng Erhu operate the steam fan.

Seeing Lin Yun appear, Daiyu immediately ran over, affectionately pulled him to sit down next to the desk, and poured him a cup of tea with her own hands.

Shi Xiangyun peeled a banana and handed it to Lin Yun.

When Lin Yun saw this, he smiled and said, "How could the two sisters be so polite today?"

Daiyu coyly said: "Brother, Sister Yun and I also want a steam fan."

Lin Yun: "You can if you want. But you have to wait in line."

Daiyu said anxiously: "Why? Isn't the steam fan made by our family? Can't you just ask someone to make a few more?"

Lin Yun: "His Majesty just said that he asked me to make a few more and send them to the palace for the use of several empresses. In addition, several ministers also have to send one to each family. Don't you two have to queue up?"

Shi Xiangyun: "Can't we find more craftsmen to come to the house to make it?"

Lin Yun: "This thing needs to be kept secret. If word gets out, our family won't make any money."

Ping'er hurriedly asked: "Third Master, how much silver does this steam fan cost?"

"One hundred taels of silver."

"ah!"

Daiyu complained: "Brother has set the price so high, who can afford it?"

Lin Yun explained: "This thing is for rich people, so the price must be set higher. The poor people can't afford it even if it's given to them for free."

Shi Xiangyun: "Brother, don't worry about the steam fan. Sister Lin and I want to take a steamboat ride, is that okay?"

Lin Yun quickly shook his head and said: "Absolutely not. Steamships need people who understand steam engines to operate them. Neither Hehua nor Pearl understand machines."

Daiyu: "You can learn if you don't understand. Brother, just teach them."

Lin Yun: "Even if I teach them, you two can't go up. The steamship technology is not yet mature, and the risk is too great. If something goes wrong, I can't make it."

Qin Keqing advised from the side: "You two sisters, listen to your brother, that thing is too dangerous, it's better to play with something else."

"Forget it if you can't play, let's just go play cards."

After Daiyu finished speaking, she called Shi Xiangyun, Xiangling, Pearl and a group of minions to leave.
