Ming Dynasty: Huddle in Beiping County as Magistrate Chapter 269 Return to the daily life of Beiping MansionLatest website:The second day.
Zhu Di then met with many Korean elders, gentry, or wealthy businessmen and officials in Yan Kingdom.
His expression was very gentle and friendly throughout.
After the banquet, these old Koreans, wealthy businessmen, and officials were all given their own rewards.
Let these Goryeo elders, gentry, wealthy businessmen and officials all have their faces filled with gratitude.
Next.
Zhu Di took Zhu Gaochi and Guo An to inspect Yan'an County.
The entire Yan'an County officials, clan elders, merchants, and even all the people were greatly encouraged.
They finally saw His Royal Highness King Yan and His Highness the Crown Prince that their masters were talking about.
When Zhu Di inspected the cities of Yan Kingdom in Goryeo, everything was calm and all the people of Yan Kingdom supported Zhu Di, King of Yan.
This made Zhu Di feel very good.
Guo An also looked satisfied.
Sure enough, there are smart people among Goryeo, not all of them are stupid.
……
After Zhu Di stayed in the Yan Kingdom of Goryeo for ten days, he took Zhu Gaochi, Guo An and others back to Beiping Mansion.
As the fleet set sail, all the officials and generals of the Goryeo Kingdom of Yan, as well as the Goryeo nobles, were full of joy and sincerely sent them off.
"I didn't expect that these poor students who just came out of the academy and worked as officials in Goryeo for more than half a year would be able to guard a country and be worthy of a big job!"
On the boat, Zhu Di felt a little emotional.
Guo An said: "This matter is all due to the wisdom of His Highness, giving these poor children a space to display, otherwise no matter how great their talents are, they can only be imprisoned in their hearts!"
After hearing this, Zhu Di glanced at Guo An and couldn't help but said: "We suddenly feel that Guo Qing has the ability to be a sycophant!"
Guo An looked helpless and said: "Your Highness, did I lie?"
Zhu Di shook his head slightly, "No!"
Guo Andao: "That humble minister is still among the virtuous ministers!"
On the side, Zhu Gaochi also nodded repeatedly, "Dad, master is a wise minister, not a sycophantic minister."
……
Zhu Di took Zhu Gaochi to Goryeo this time. Although there was no danger, the speed was also very fast.
In less than two months, he returned to Beiping from Gaoli.
However, please also attract Lao Zhu’s attention.
A few days before Zhu Di returned to Beiping Mansion, Lao Zhu's letter of reprimand arrived.
The core meaning is that the journey from Beiping Mansion to Goryeo is long, and the sea is still so wide. If something happens to the heir apparent of the old Zhu family, King Yan, can you, Zhu Di, take the responsibility?
As for why Guo An knew so clearly, it was because both Guo An and Zhu Fu were reprimanded by Lao Zhu.
Even a salary fine was imposed.
As a result, Zhu Fu's face was full of resentment for several days.
Guo An reported this to Zhu Di and went to the gunpowder workshop every day.
Now, the craftsman school next to the gunpowder workshop has graduated a batch of students.
Among them, most of them were replenished by Guo An to the gunpowder workshop.
Half of them followed Tao Yiping and Yang Ting to manufacture grenades and incendiary bombs in large quantities; others followed Tao Yiping and Yang Ting to develop and improve new artillery; others followed Tao Yiping.
Together with Yang Ting, they developed the steam engine Guo An mentioned...
Use the best steel to forge small boilers, cylinders, flywheels, sliding valves, pistons...
However, since they couldn't find anything to make rubber, Tao Yiping, Yang Ting and others could only use wooden plugs, or even iron plugs and iron chains...
As a result, a small workshop was once again expanded outside the gunpowder workshop.
"Please ask the teacher to punish me. I have been studying for two months and still can't get the wheel to turn!"
Tao Yiping and Yang Ting looked guilty.
The steam engine that Guo An painted was the most complex machine that the two of them had seen since childhood, and it was also the object that interested them the most.
Just by burning charcoal and boiling water, can you make the wheels turn?
If such a machine could be built, the two of them would be famous throughout the ages, comparable to their master craftsmen.
"No problem!"
Guo An waved his hand casually, "Don't worry about the steam engine for now. Is there any progress in the artillery we've developed?"
"This..."
Tao Yiping and Yang Ting immediately lowered their heads.
To be honest, although the Tao family manufactured artillery and fire systems for Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, they became a medium-sized middle class in the Ming Dynasty.
However, the entire Tao family is not very interested in studying life-killing weapons such as artillery.
Because the old Tao family, those who were interested in firearms, joined the imperial gunpowder manufacturing bureau in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Those who stayed in the Tao family basically followed the head of the family, Tao Wanhu, to study how to make flying utensils.
As for his unexpected rebelliousness, he will be directly obsessed with the steam engine that can move by itself.
"You haven't studied it yet?"
Guo An's face turned dark.
"Teacher, I have done some research. However, after encountering some problems, I want to study steam engines and change my thinking...
Who would have thought that with this change, those artillery pieces would be forgotten!"
Tao Yiping quickly explained.
"Then put down the steam engine and hurry up and study artillery for us!"
Guo An said angrily: "If we cannot develop more powerful artillery, our Yanshan Guards will not be able to defeat those Mongolian Tatars, or we may not be able to capture Goryeo and the Japanese pirates.
How does Prince Yan’s Mansion make money?
Why does His Highness the King of Yan still value gunpowder workshops like yours?
In this way, how can His Highness the King of Yan respond to your requests for gunpowder workshops and allocate as much money and materials to you as you want?"
