Zhu Yue severely criticized his unsatisfactory younger brother. He felt helpless at this little bastard's lawlessness and hated the fact that iron cannot be transformed into steel.

Zhu Yunxi didn't care and said with a smile, "Second sister, eldest brother gave me an order. From now on, I have to do things that the emperor brother can't do. From now on, I will only eat, drink and have fun, do lawlessness, and be an annoying bastard."

Your Majesty."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Yue was a little suspicious and asked angrily, "Brother Huang is so talented and resourceful, why do you need you to do things?"

Zhu Yunxi said proudly, "It's not good for the emperor to be jealous, and it's not good to go to some brothels. If the children of some civil servants and military generals don't live up to their expectations, the younger brother will have to beat them up first, and then the elder brother can punish them."

"

Zhu Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then became worried, "Brother, you have to think clearly. If you accept this job, your reputation will be lost in the future."

"What's the use of my reputation?" Zhu Yunxi didn't care, and said with a smile, "Besides, I have already thought it through. As long as the eldest brother is watching over me, no matter how much those people talk, it is just nonsense. The eldest brother is even worse than the emperor.

Protect your shortcomings.”

Zhu Yue also laughed, but lowered his voice and said, "Brother Huang will not look after other people, so you are so careless."

At this time, Wang Chengen came over and said, "Your Highnesses, dinner is ready."

Zhu Xiongying really doesn't expect his little brother to become a wise king, or to expect his little brother to do some earth-shattering things. But Zhu Xiongying also hopes that his little brother can occasionally help him, instead of just living and drinking.

What's more, my younger brother has a special status. There are many things where my younger brother can intervene and break the situation very well.

For example, when they arrived in Peiping, Zhu Xiongying secretly gave him the opportunity. This boy is now not just a prince with an empty status, he is also starting to try to do some jobs, although they may just be some that don't look particularly good.

task on the table.

Zhu Yunxi became more energetic at this time. His mission was to help his eldest brother to contact some children of noble families. His main task now was to help his eldest brother to investigate reliable manpower, or manpower that the eldest brother thought was worthy of attention.

Even though I am not interested in horseback riding and hunting, it can be treated as an outing.

Xu Miaoqing was a little worried, but she still advised, "Husband, I have a bit of a temper. It may be difficult for him to do such a big thing."

"Look down on my Yunxi?" Zhu Xiongying feigned anger and said angrily, "Although Yunxi has a wild temper and some hardships, there is one good thing about him, that is, he is measured and will not act recklessly. With his status, even if he is a bit reckless,

It’s okay, for the sake of Grandpa Huang and me, everyone just pretends that it’s nothing.”

As for why I didn't say it was for the prince's sake, it was mainly because Da Zhu didn't like Zhu Yunxi, and many people knew more or less.

In the past, Xu Miaoqing would have been frightened by Zhu Xiongying's feigned anger. But it is different now. She knew that if Zhu Xiongying was really angry, he would not say these things. She also knew what made Zhu Xiongying really angry.

Which ones.

Zhu Yue came over with Zhu Yunxi, and the two of them greeted each other obediently, "Brother Emperor, Sister-in-law Emperor."

Xu Miaoqing stood up and saluted, which was indispensable. She represented not only herself, but also Zhu Xiongying's dignity, including the Xu family's upbringing, etc. She did not dare to be careless about these things.

Zhu Xiongying said angrily, "It's true that etiquette is indispensable. Even if the family is together, there are so many vain etiquettes. I see you, you are becoming more and more foreign."

Even when Zhu Xiongying said this, everyone looked obedient. But if it really comes down to it, it will still be like this next time they meet. They don't dare to make any omissions in these things. Such things seem insignificant.

Little things reveal a person's true nature.

Zhu Xiongying pointed to the seats and said, "Sit down, Yunxi, do you want to have a drink with eldest brother?"

Zhu Yunxi immediately laughed, without any embarrassment, "Brother, I don't like strong drinks now. This wine is not good, let's go to Qiulubai."

Qiulubai, this can also be regarded as the royal wine, or it can be said that the Ming court followed the brewing process of the imperial wine of the Song and Yuan Dynasties. This is a good wine with the clearest fragrance, which is basically brewed with dew.

I'm sure there's no way to make a large amount of this kind of wine.

Looking at Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Xiongying shook his head angrily. This little brother of his was really good at eating, drinking and having fun. But looking at Zhu Yue and Xu Miaoqing, Zhu Xiongying thought they should both drink a little.

Naturally, Wang Chengen had the foresight and immediately changed the drink. In fact, wine like Qiulubai is relatively nourishing. Generally speaking, such wine is not much in stock in the palace, and ordinary princes do not have many rewards. In fact, Zhu Xiongying

There aren't many good wines like this.

You will definitely not be stingy if you are stingy. Zhu Xiongying is still happy to share these good things with the people closest to him. After all, this is a family, so there is no need to be stingy on these things.

"As for Yunxi, he will respond to Tianfu with us during the twelfth lunar month. If I have more official duties during this period, Yue'er, please pay more attention to him. If he is disobedient, go to your sister-in-law." Zhu Xiongying ate the vegetables and drank.

Liquor, an elder brother is like a father. "If you really can't do it, come find me."

Zhu Yue naturally nodded obediently. She was indeed used to taking care of her incompetent little brother. If she couldn't take care of him well, she would naturally come to see her eldest brother.

Zhu Yunxi was probably used to these things. The imperial brother took care of him, and the imperial sisters kept an eye on him all the time. In other words, the prince's concubine was the 'best' to him, letting him eat, drink and have fun without learning or skills. It's just that

Zhu Yunxi is not stupid. He used to think Lu was good, but now that he thinks about it again, he thinks Lu is quite ridiculous.

After having a family dinner with his brothers and sisters, Zhu Xiongying also felt quite relaxed. During this period, he was still working diligently, busy with official duties and military affairs. Now he can also relax well. Being with his family is the best thing.

One of the best ways to relax.

Zhu Xiongying couldn't be idle, because he knew that his Shenji Battalion would soon make some progress, and his Shenji Battalion would soon be able to increase its combat effectiveness.

This is an out-and-out major event. Zhu Xiongying has always been paranoid about improving the combat effectiveness of his troops. He does not believe that peace and prosperity can be ushered in just by relying on civil rule. Without force, it would be like the two Song dynasties.

Money has become the fat in the eyes of others and is bullied everywhere.

The power of the fire gun has been increased, and the stability and durability of the fire gun can be improved a bit. Zhu Xiongying is satisfied with all of this. He also feels that these are a big opportunity to improve the combat effectiveness of the firearms unit.

Not only will the firecrackers be improved, but rather than making large-caliber field cannons, we will first get some cannons for city defense, or some small-caliber field cannons. Zhu Xiongying thinks these are some good opportunities.

This is not something ‘made out of nothing’, this is about improving the performance of some existing firearms.

Even though he has concentrated a lot of resources, Zhu Xiongying now feels more and more that many things are like this, especially scientific research and the development of technology trees. This cannot be achieved overnight, nor can it have immediate results.

.

Some departments in the Beiping Prefecture are about to get busy. They are about to start a lot of experiments, they are about to start manufacturing new fire guns in large quantities, and they also need to organize research on some improved techniques for bronze cannons.

Indispensable, of course, is the continuous improvement of the performance of gunpowder. Zhu Xiongying is not so easily satisfied. He also has more requirements for firearms.

Even if the current firecrackers are not matchlock guns, they are not even considered 'guns' in the eyes of some people. But so what, Zhu Xiongying knows that this is the only way for the development of science and technology, and it is impossible to eat one in one go.

Fat people still need to continue to learn and make progress.

Zhu Xiongying, who was in a good mood, continued to follow up on the organization's research. The mass production of firearms is of course a good thing, and it is also a constant upgrading. The newly made firecrackers are of course used by the border troops, and the eliminated firecrackers are not only used by other guards.

In addition, it may also be reheated.

Zhu Xiongying would not wait until the firearm is scrapped before thinking about replacing it. Continuous replacement is also necessary. Even if some voices think that Zhu Xiongying is wasting money, he will continue to implement it unswervingly.

This is not something to be stingy about. What Zhu Xiongying needs is a complete and stable system. What he needs is a more stable and reliable military industry system.

Lao Zhu and Da Zhu in Yingtian Mansion now have a headache. If it is just an ordinary reward, Lao Zhu will not be reluctant to give some silver, gold, etc., as long as it is useful. After all, Lao Zhu knows firearms very well.

, the firearms unit made great contributions when he conquered the world.

It's just that asking for a baron is a bit too much. This is not in line with Lao Zhu's strategy of constantly reducing nobility over the years. What's more, this is a craftsman. Let a craftsman be knighted, which is even more difficult for Lao Zhu to accept.

Already.

Da Zhu was silent for a moment, and then said, "I'd better agree. This craftsman is of some use and will be beneficial to my Ming Dynasty. That's enough."

Lao Zhu nodded and said, "We know, and we also know what our Ying'er is thinking. If a baron gives it, he will give it to him. He specifically asked us to issue an edict that this child wants me to go to the bad guys, and he wants me to cure him.

Cure those civil servants once and for all."

Da Zhu couldn't help laughing and said, "I'm afraid Ying'er means more than that. He wants to make this matter big and let all the craftsmen in the world know about it. I'm afraid it's not just the craftsmen. Let's make trouble about these things.

We really need my father to come forward."

Lao Zhu immediately couldn't help but feel happy, not only because his children and grandchildren relied on him. But also because both his sons and grandsons were very similar to him at heart, they were both ultimate pragmatists!
