Chapter 581: Prepare for Big Events
"Make a big deal?" Li Yuanzhao's eyes shone, "What big deal?"
When it comes to making trouble, he is extremely interested, especially following Lao Fang to do things.
And it was actually related to gunpowder weapons. He was very envious of this thing, and now it has already finished products so soon.
Fang Zhengyi didn't rush to answer, and first pulled him to a remote place outside the hall.
Seeing that no one was around, he whispered: "Hunting."
"Hunting?" Li Yuanzhao smiled, "Is hunting interesting? Is it hunting with gunpowder weapons?"
"That's right! This thing is going to make it awesome. I wonder if Your Majesty is interested in hunting?"
Li Yuanzhao thought for a moment: "Yes, my father likes hunting very much. When I was a child, I took me to fight twice, but it was very rare afterwards. I almost never went out in the past two years."
"Lao Fang, where are you going to hunt? The hunting gardens in the capital have been abandoned for a long time. Besides, it is better to come to fight in autumn. The weather is getting hotter and hotter now, and this time is a bit inappropriate."
Fang Zhengyi said: "It's really not suitable. Don't we still need time to arrange it? It's okay to waste it. Before the autumn starts, we should throw more wild animals into the hunting ground."
"It's better to get some beasts like tigers, leopards, wolfs, etc., that's interesting. Then we'll call all the officials over."
Li Yuanzhao said in surprise: "Lao Fang, I remember that you are not very interested in these things. I think that since the gunpowder has the power of opening mountains and cracking stones, it will be displayed directly on the spot."
"Your Highness, you have to pay attention to a process in everything you do. I have designed it all, just say whether you want to do it or not. Can Liu Jin get those wild beasts? Let him do some."
"I'm quite interested, but how much do you want? What if you get too many, the beasts get out of control, and all the officials are present and have an accident?" Li Yuanzhao hesitated.
Fang Zhengyi nodded secretly in his heart.
The prince is so steady than before, and he has begun to consider the safety of all officials.
If this had been put a few years ago, I would have liked to keep people and tigers in the same cage to watch the fun.
"Since you want to pursue excitement, then let's implement it to the end!" Fang Zhengyi shrugged, "Don't worry, your highness, you will be protected by a lot of guards and gunpowder weapons, and you will not be in trouble."
"Those weapons, I promise you can't let go of them!"
Li Yuanzhao clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Then do it! I don't dare to do anything wild if I am a man. I'll go back and let Liu Jin get dozens of tigers."
"Although I don't hunt much, I am skilled in bows and horses. Then you can see the strength of my palace!"
"Hey! Just have two, your highness! The main thing is to get more animals such as deer and deer." Fang Zheng hurriedly stopped him.
Damn it, you can tell me dozens of them.
It would be almost the same if the county could build a submachine gun. Nowadays, muskets can only be won by quantity. If you want to kill a tiger, you don’t know how many shots you have to fire.
Last time I hit a wild boar, I almost lost my life.
"Well, I'm kidding. Where can I get so many tigers? There are wolves, and the amount is very large." Li Yuanzhao smiled.
"Then I'll be relieved. Please ask Your Highness to make Liu Jin more careful in this matter."
Li Yuanzhao glanced at Fang Zheng with a smile and said, "Lao Fang, you are trying so hard that you are just doing something to open the sea."
Fang Zheng nodded: "Your Highness, please wait and see."
Pocket watches are just the first step, arousing the court's attention to foreign technology. This second step further exaggerates the power of gunpowder, and reaches the third step...
Fang Zhengyi is not in a hurry, it is related to the future direction of the world. Every step must be stable and designed.
It is best to set it up in full and strive to change everyone's concepts in one stop.
The trouble is still the courtiers.
Emperor Jing was the emperor and did not do whatever he wanted.
Founder Zhengyi can handle the big leader, but the people below cannot handle it one by one.
Even if I convinced the emperor, I wouldn't be able to stand it if I jumped out every now and then to cause trouble for myself.
It is absolutely impossible to brainwash these smart people in the court by opening their mouths and having a picture. Now, the only thing that can defeat stubborn ideas is real huge benefits or crises.
Fortunately, I have rich experience in doing things and the cards in my hand are strong enough.
It’s okay to take this opportunity to arrange your father-in-law safely!
Li Yuanzhao said, "Okay! Since you value this matter so much, I won't ask more questions. Just need help telling me."
"But...I have something to do." Speaking of this, Li Yuanzhao gradually became shy. "Didn't the Jinyiwei recruit newcomers and ask me to practice? Lao Fang, I have a good skill in training troops!"
"No problem, Your Highness, the newspaper is preparing to help Jinyiwei recruit new people. Let's take a look together."
......
In the newspaper, there is a busy atmosphere, and a group of malnourished journalists are dedicating their lives and youth in full spirit.
As soon as Li Yuanzhao arrived at the door, he sighed: "Lao Fang, what medicine did you give them that night."
"Although I think it's good to work overtime, they're already a little overdoing their virtues."
"Why don't you go to have dinner yet?"
Fang Zhengyi was very satisfied: "Don't worry, your highness, I asked Xie Xian to add a bonus to them. There are doctors in the newspaper now. I'm too tired and someone will remind them to rest. I see that they work so hard, so I should add some more afternoons.
For tea or something, I’ll ask someone to send them some fruit snacks every day.”
"Fruit snacks? That thing doesn't sleep. What if I'm so tired?" Li Yuanzhao curled her lips
"It's considered absent from work, so he's going to lose money."
"It's you, I learned it..."
The two of them walked inside with jokes, Xie Xian, Shen Yi and others were all there, but there was a new face.
Lao Qi, a carpenter from Taoyuan County.
The three of them were whispering around a big wooden box in the room and talking.
It was not until Fang Zheng coughed twice that the three of them stood up and said hello.
Lao Qi bowed slightly and said, "Master, I have delivered the clock you want. The mansion has just finished delivering it, and it was collected by Miss Tao."
Li Yuanzhao had already walked up to check it out quickly. Fang Zhengyi said in surprise: "It's done so quickly!"
Lao Qi nodded: "Yes, Master, the young people in the institute are very interested in this thing. They have already eaten the research day and night. They can be done with a little transformation."
"But it's a little more troublesome than a pocket watch, this one needs to be fired."
"The county said that I was going to open a watch shop in the capital. The county government asked me to ask you, how should I sell it?"
Fang Zhengyi also specifically explained that the county had pocket watches and clocks and other things to be studied successfully and sent a few copies to the capital as soon as possible. They actually made it so fast, but they didn't expect it!
How much is appropriate to sell?
Fang Zhengyi pinched his chin and thought hard, looked at the prince and Chen Yi who were sticking out his butt to study the clock, and waved to Xie Xian and Lao Qi.
The three of them walked to the corner, and Fang Zhengyi whispered: "How much does this clock cost?"
Lao Qi replied: "It's not expensive, it's just a big deal for convenience. In fact, most of the below is an empty wooden box. Not counting as manual labor, the county's material fee is about 50 taels."
"Sell five thousand taels."
