Chapter 24
The spring flowers are so gorgeous that they bring joy to the urban area of Beijing. However, the weather returned to the weather, and not only the people's lives were becoming more and more miserable, but the lives of the officials of the imperial court were also embarrassing. Mainly the imperial court repeatedly said that the issuance of Feng Lu was delayed, and this month pushed forward next month, and the endless "next" distribution was always a blank cheque. At present, Wang Lanchi was the imperial court official of Si pin - Dali Temple Shaoqing, mianyu was the deputy envoy of Dali Temple, Zheng Sipin. Dali Siqing was a former emperor and cousin of the Jiaqing Emperor Ai Xinjueluo. Forever, sixty years old, fun birds all day. Dali Temple, together with the Punishment Department and the Metropolitan Inspection Temple, is known as the "Three Laws Division". The officials of the Three Divisions of Law also face the same dilemma.
The first time he went to court in the name of a courtier, Wang Lanchi stood behind Mianyu, wearing a second-hand official uniform, wearing a four-pin official hat on his head, and the top beads were lapis lazuli, and one piece was missing. Mianyu's official uniform is a brand new first-hand new product, and there are peacock feathers inserted behind the hat, but it is less than half, and you can see that it is also a second-hand official hat at a glance. In order to save money, the imperial court sent official uniforms to newly appointed officials to wear, and as long as they could be put in, they did not fit or not.
The Daoguang Emperor opened his mouth and said, "At present, the armor factory is an empty bone shelf, which will shatter when pressed, except for the ming Dynasty armor cold weapons that are available, the others will be gone, if the British army comes in, what will we take to resist?"
On the main hall, there was silence, not knowing what song the emperor was going to sing?
"I got a piece of information that Wu Jiagui and Wu Wanmu were very powerful, and I thought that we still had to use them against the British at the moment." Tong Lan was reinstated, and Jia Guangshan also returned to the dprk to cooperate with Li Yangzhen in handling affairs. ”
Jia Guangshan immediately came out to thank the emperor, and it turned out that he had already returned to the dynasty.
Jia Guangshan, the eldest brother-in-law of Cao Zhenyong, the minister of military aircraft, asked, "Your Majesty, Tong Lan has some problems, why was he reinstated?"
"Tong Lan got a large amount of military materials for Yuan, hahaha! It can be shipped back in three or five days. The Imperial Forest Army of the Fallen went forward to press the front, and the Ten Dart Bureaus in Beijing escorted it, and there was no mistake. ”
Cao Zhenyong always wanted to express his views again, and in the end he always made the emperor happy, so he passed on the "merits" to his brother-in-law, and Jia Guangshan said: "Your Majesty, you have a unique vision."
The officials of the main hall were relieved, and they smiled and congratulated each other, and also used the number of gifts such as sons marrying daughters-in-law and praying to their birthdays, what flowers bloom rich and noble, Wangzi Wangsun, sesame blossoms are rising and rising...
The emperor then said, "Jia Aiqing, Cao Zhenyong has been ill for three years, and you should fill the post of minister of military aircraft."
"Thank you Your Majesty Longen!" For Xi to descend from heaven, Jia Guangshan almost shouted kissing his mother, and he knew that he was a filial piety. Unable to imagine that Xiaozi was so grateful, he said: "Your Majesty, Cao Enyong, the son of the military minister Cao Zhenyong, is really a rare Confucian in the Qing Dynasty, and His Majesty can reuse it!" Wei Chen strongly recommended that it be better to take over Wei Chen's position and cooperate with Li Yangzhen to ---"A "for the right" is to remind the emperor to strictly guard against Li Yangzhen.
"He is the son of Cao Zhenyong, the minister of military aircraft, and must be a great instrument, OK, cooperate with Li Yangzhen."
Li Yangzhen came out to thank you!
At present, Jia Guangshan is arrogant and domineering, and this matter will be completed in three words.
Daoguang loves to hear words like these things the most, the least likes to listen to the anti-opium anti-British army, and there are several relatives of the emperor and the country who have earned nothing. Wang Lanchi wants to mention the old rotten debts.
"Your Majesty, how can Lord Jia Guangshan, He De, be competent to serve as an important member of the Military Aircraft Department?" The Minister of Military Aircraft of the Great Qing Dynasty is the same as the Prime Minister. Far from saying, let's say that Henan County was a master bookkeeper and instigated the county order to be corrupt, and it was only a few months before he reported his recital thick stack. Wei Chen attaches great importance to the overall situation, and His Majesty deliberates. ”
This mention, the following have expressed their opposition, this said no qualifications, that said that they also fought with the vegetable vendors...
The emperor was angry, and he couldn't find the words to suppress the line, so he said, "Wenqing, what is your attitude?"
Wen Qing, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, said, "Wei Chen's meaning is the same as Wang Lanchi's, how can Jia Guangshan he de be able to?"
Dao Guang's face turned blue and red. The matter was abandoned, and Cao Enhao was simply arranged to go to Dali Temple as an errand boy.
Three or five days later, Lan Chi saw the mighty horse team from the window, and it was the team escorting the arms that had returned. He looked at it carefully and felt that there was something strange, so he chased out to observe, listened to the sound of "Gragra" in the distance, carefully observed a hundred meters long dirt road, and found that the carriage rutted out a very shallow mud mark. According to the armaments is very heavy--- artillery, iron armor, guns and ammunition, is the carriage not a weapon? Why did the emperor make something out of nothing? Or maybe Tong Lan is fake? So what is the reason for the counterfeiting? He thought he should inform Li Yangzhen.
Just after ten or so steps, Cao Enxun came over, and he took the initiative to say: "Wang Shaoqing, the subordinate officials think that the gunpowder guns are all wooden, to deceive the emperor."
"Really? What problems do you talk about?" Lan Chi dragged him into hiding in the bushes.
"I heard my uncle talking to a stranger, as if to say that there was so much cost to the wood, and the man said that the process of making guns and guns from wood was complicated, and it was necessary to give this number. I suspect that the munitions brought in today are all fake. ”
Lan Chi said, "There may be a misunderstanding in this matter, don't talk about it, and make trouble for yourself." Go back and see the new batch of prisoners, you go to the interrogation, strictly enforce, no beatings. I had a headache and wanted to go to the Chinese medicine hall to grab medicine to eat, and when I saw the king of Huijun, I said that I was going to see the disease. After saying that, he touched his head and left. "Lord Wang, let the little one accompany you?"
Lan Chi waved his hand and left again.
It turned out that when the armor factory was stolen, the emperor was terrified day and night. He received a secret letter, and it was Tong Lan who sent someone to transfer it to the concubine, who personally gave it to the emperor. He decided that there were revolutionaries in the DPRK and that he was in power in the DPRK, so he lured them out with fake arms and took them down in one fell swoop.
Li Yangzhen listened to Lan Chi's report, he was very panicked, originally scheduled to go to the armor factory three days later to steal arms, it seems to be deceitful. He immediately met with the iron strikers, and everyone analyzed that it should be fake arms, and ordered that the team be disbanded immediately and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.
Wang Lanchi pondered day and night about this matter, why was it such a big event, the King of HuiJun did not disclose a word, and even the King of Wuling did not have any news to send. His mind flashed: Tong Lan's shrewd eyes, the thief-like appearance of Jia Guangshan and The eunuch Jia when they met, and the fact that King Huijun had not interacted with himself in recent days, was he deliberately indulging himself to rob arms? Then he took himself down in one fell swoop, and it seemed that he was somewhat exposed. What to do? How can I remedy this? Lan Chi's brain has always been sober, and he wanted to show his opium trafficking side, keeping an eye on Wu Jiagui, The Eunuch Jia, and Wu Wanmu, a gang of scum that is not eradicated, which will have great resistance to the future anti-Qing, and even the revolution will go to a desperate place. Because they were controlling the emperor, how could they get the emperor to stand on the side of selling opium and eliminate them all together? Cao Enhao's behavior is correct, but it can not be used, and it should be observed.
The next day, Lan Chi quietly read a book.
"Lan Chi, why don't you go out?"
"Yo, third brother, what do you say, just leave your job, the order from above comes, how do I carry it out?" He pretended to answer King Huijun's question easily and seriously.
The shrewd Mianyu said, "Then I will go to listen to the play, and you can go home today, and I heard that your wife and Qianjin have come to Beijing, and they will go back to gather."
"Sent away yesterday, or go back to the hometown, the grandfather can also be free." He answered casually, his eyes fixed on the book.
King Huijun thought to himself, "It's been five days, and he won't go out and hang out, so won't the arms attract them?" Isn't he a revolutionary..." From recent indications, Lanchi is an anti-opium activist. Try him again.
"Lan Chi, I heard that Wu Jiagui is selling opium again?"
"Dogs can't change eating shit!"
"Then you anti-opium warriors should go and arrest him!"
"Wu Jiagui was ordered by the emperor to be released, and the people sent arms to the imperial court, and now he is the tycoon of the imperial court, so let's go and arrest him, and when the egg touches the stone---- find the door to send him to death."
"Then let him go?"
"The court loves to release people, what is the matter with me?" Even if your prince goes to arrest him, I will ask the emperor not to follow him, and we will call this to follow the imperial court wholeheartedly. My father and mother have words for the daughter-in-law to bring, do not forget the original, today the chicken becomes a phoenix, relying on the noble spirit of the Qing Dynasty, asking the son to --- me, a heart eye to follow to the end, admit grace does not recognize reason, recognize grace does not recognize relatives. ”
"Your father and mother are also true, don't recognize the reason, don't recognize the relatives of which line?"
"The Holy Will is Heavenly Reason, what is wrong with Daddy and Mother?" Go, go face to face the Holy Judge!" With an unhappy look, you have to deceive Mianyu first, and the old-fashioned people are really troublesome.
King Huijun left relieved, thinking: If he and the emperor make a guarantee ticket, it can also be regarded as the unique vision of "Bo Le knows a thousand-mile horse".
It turned out that a few days ago, the emperor asked Mianyu about Wang Lanchi's opinion, and he very firmly analyzed that "the anti-opium nerves are too tight, and they are absolutely loyal to the imperial court" to affirm Lanchi. But the Emperor still wanted him to pay attention to his recent attitude, that arms were a touchstone.
Mianyu went to listen to the play, he came to face the saint, he said: "Your Majesty, Lan Chi has been dealing with daily tedious affairs at the Yamen for a few days, and he can't see the uneasiness of stealing arms, and he also patiently teaches Cao Enhao's work to get started. At night, I sent someone on duty all night to check, and he didn't go out at all. Li Yangzhen is the same, Your Majesty, there is no need to doubt. I think that Wu Jiagui will cause trouble for the imperial court, as well as Jia Guangshan, who is very shady. ”
The emperor waved his hand and said, "Don't believe it easily, continue to investigate, what material Jia Guangshan is, I know best in my heart."
Lan Chi felt that he was in the DPRK and his loneliness, so he considered his future revolutionary actions and tried to get acquainted with the officials at all levels of the Dali Temple, and he found that the recorder Liu Xiong and the chief bookkeeper Zhang Ping were more upright and were both Han Chinese. He wanted to develop them as soon as possible to become revolutionaries, but for the time being on the grounds of opposing opium. If you are behind enemy lines, you must be cautious and cautious.
Once Lan Chi asked Liu Xiong, the recorder, to drink tea and talk while eating. Liu Xiong confided, "Lord Wang Shaoqing, Wu Wanmu's confession was revised, and the emperor mistakenly believed that he was not an ordinary opium trafficker, but the leader of the counter-revolutionary party, so he agreed to release him."
When Lan Chi heard this reason, he immediately became alert, yawned, and said, "I have written poetry lately and Slept less, and when you say this, I understand that there must be revolutionaries in the DPRK and China, so we have to raise our spirits." Liu Xiong was excluded by him and "absorbed" into it, and it turned out that he was the person of the King of Hui county.
Liu Xiong inquired further: "The weapons he sent were all first-class, and they were purchased by Wu Wanmu from the British at a cost of money, and they were very advanced. I want a gun. ”
"I want one too." Echoing, he appeared enthusiastic, with one arm still resting on his shoulder.
"Then let's steal, and the bullets, fast, the horse can't run the bullet speed." Grab a plate of osmanthus sesame cake and stuff it in your pocket.
Lan Chi patted him on the back of the head and said, "You're stupid! Go steal, play for your life, we will go with the king of Huijun, and we will say that fighting opium thieves will not become it?" While eating osmanthus cake and drinking osmanthus tea, he said incoherently: "When is it time to distribute it, when you have it, please drink flower wine, and hug the beautiful woman to sleep." Brother Liu, when you are alive, you have to be happy. When the ancestral roots were weak, the pleasure could only lie on the side. 'Inch of gold is difficult to buy inch of time' just say this, today this table you pay the bill, the rest of you packed and brought back to the child to eat, I have something to take a step ahead. ”
"Hey, Lan Chi, don't you go..."
One after the other, Liu Xiong's long shirt was pulled by the shopkeeper, "Official, you can only leave after giving money!"
"Go after him!"
"Chase, aren't you there?" Shopkeeper pulled him tightly. Chen Yan covered his mouth in the back kitchen and smiled.
Lan Chi came to the Golden Dragon Jade Shop, reported the situation to the iron, and told him, "Don't move lightly at the moment, Li Yangzhen is still under surveillance, the armor factory definitely does not have a good weapon, keep an eye on Wu Wanmu, he must have a weapon" Put down the words, take a string of jade and go out immediately.
After Wang Lanchi further investigated, he learned that the fake arms were forever related to Dali Siqing, and LanChi thought: "It seems that playing with birds is just a scam, this person, the water depth is unfathomable!" More and more, I felt very lonely at Dali Temple.
After Wang Lanchi took office, the big households in the capital often came to feast. On this day, Chen Yuan, a wealthy merchant in Dongcheng, feasted on the family and invited Lan Chi and Huijun Wang to appreciate their faces. They met and went away. Entering the door, I saw that the main bookkeeper Zhang Ping was also there, and the officials of the court were all wearing patched official uniforms, but they were still treated with courtesy by the merchants wearing satin.
Lan Chi drank too much and said to go to the hand, just turned, saw the lobby lights up, then went to see. Seeing that the gate was closed tightly, under the shadow of the lights, someone pointed out his hands and feet, and there was a small figure, thinking: "The front yard is eating hot, what is it here?" So he whispered and went to inquire.
My ear pressed against the paper window and I heard, "Tell me, what's your name?" It was Chen Yuan's voice, no wonder there was no shadow in the front lobby.
"Lord, my name is Anderhay." Lan Chi heard the weak child's voice revealing his domineering spirit.
"Tell the old man, how old are you?" Another thick male voice.
"Lord, I'm eight years old, short, just four." The voice reveals strength.
"Why did you sneak in, and who made you come?" It was Chen Yuan who was asking, in an extremely impatient tone.
"It was my mother who asked me to come to the old man and send me into the palace to see Grandpa Jia."
"Why are you looking for Grandpa Jia?" Obvious kindness, the impatience just now suddenly disappeared, why?
"He is my father, and my mother is a palace maid, who had earlier served her master in the palace." The father next to the mother is not the real father, the real father is Jia Yi, and I want to go into the palace to see the real father. ”
"That..."
Lan Chi heard footsteps coming and immediately dodged away. I repeatedly chanted the name "Andehai" in my heart, thinking that this four-year-old Jia was originally Jia Yi's son---- and eight-year-old Andehai. Listen to the conversation, this little boy is extremely intelligent.
Head-on collision with people do not know, "Oops" knocked people down. Lan Chi lifted up and said, "Drinking too much, drinking too much, it is really offensive."
"It's me, Zhang Ping."
"Zhang Ping, you didn't fall, did you?"
Noisy footsteps followed, and a dozen gunmen aimed at Wang Lanchi.
Zhang Ping said, "What's the matter?"
"On the orders of the lord, all those who come to the backyard must be arrested and brought to justice."
"Bastard, Grandpa is the son-in-law of the old man, get out of here."
As soon as they heard that it was the son-in-law of the Chen family, they all ran away. Zhang Ping said, "My lord, I am frightened."
They talked right down the aisle.
Lan Chi asked, "What's that kid?"
Zhang Ping smiled and said, "When he came in, he went to the table and ate it, and asked him to go down, and he said he wanted to see Old Master Chen." I took it, and I don't know what happened. However, there are rules in the house that no one is allowed to enter the backyard. ”
"What's up in the backyard?"
"I really don't know. She heard her mother hanged in the backyard, after which her father wouldn't let anyone in. ”
"I'm curious, I guess there are ghosts, let's go, let's go catch ghosts together."
"Lord Wang, we should still be careful and pay attention everywhere, Dong Cunguang, the young secretary of the previous few years, went into the backyard and disappeared."
"Master Zhang, are you sure he went into the backyard?"
"Of course, it is the sixtieth birthday of your father-in-law, Grandpa Jia has also come, Dali Siqing has always come, Dong Cunguang is drunk and mistakenly broke into the backyard, you are very sober." There is also Cao Zhenyong who seems to have also gone in, and he has been seriously ill since then. ”
"They have something to do with the Beijing opium case?" It is said that Dong Cunguang owed a huge amount of money for opium smoking and died. Lan Chi had indeed heard of it and asked again to see what was wrong.
Zhang Ping said: "Dong Cunguang is also selling drugs, Cao Zhenyong is of course against opium, as for how to offend my father-in-law, I don't know." The imperial court tracked down Dong Cunguang and found that he had been missing for three days. In fact, he went into the backyard and caused trouble for himself, so let's not mention it. ”
Lan Chi listened, his hair stood upright, and his spine and bones were cold. After all, he was an errand boy under the prince, and when he found it suspicious, he would get rid of it, but who was the master? His immediate boss loves Shin Kyora. Always the most questionable. There is also Cao Zhenyong, who said that he was dying of his life, and it seems that he was also killed.
The spring was still relatively calm, and the cases of Dali Temple were all ordinary cases, and there were several unjust cases, which were also smoothly sorted out, and it was basically achieved that "the punishment must be corrected, and the innocence is not unjust."
One day, King Huijun said to Lan Chi, "I heard that Wu Wanmu went to contact Wu Jiagui and Eunuch Jia again."
Lan Chi said: "Gonggong Jia has been identified, he is basically a false eunuch, and all day long in Wufei Palace, the emperor did not mind, and also released him back to Beijing."
"Ripping the calves again, how do you know?"
"I took you to the tea house to listen to the play, and they all wrote a songbook, saying that the fake father-in-law and Concubine Wu were secretly having an affair, and put the emperor's hat on Wang Balu."
"That was a thousand years ago."
"Pulling a chicken and scolding a dog, you really can't hear it?" He nodded his head.
In the hot summer, the officials' lunch is served free of charge in the official canteen, probably compensating Feng Lu, the officials still endure, who dares to support? Lan Chi and MianYu went to the canteen to eat a free meal.
Lan Chi ate a simple meal and said, "I don't know when I can't even eat this, the world will be chaotic."
"Don't be fooled, this is a gift from the imperial court to the imperial officials."
"What gift? Why do you like to lie to yourself? We haven't paid a salary for three months, and we don't say that we don't say salty and light for one meal a day, but what do the family eat?"
"Your family is in Nanxi, what's the matter with you?"
"Zhou Qiang's wife is pregnant, I have to take care of it, and now they take care of my other two meals." I grabbed eggs with pregnant women and ate them, and my heart was uncomfortable!"
"What do you mean by that?"
"Anti-opium?" It's all silver outflow, opium is causing trouble, and chicken feathers are everywhere!"
"Don't hide from you that Emperor Lao Tzu saved a large amount of silver, I really thought it was gone, you are really stupid!"
"Mianyu, you are short-sighted, like a country woman. When the British army comes, can the silver be used as a gun? Silver should be used to build cannons, pistols, mines for backup, and the British army should land and let the weapons be threatened, so that the country can be strengthened. ”
"Ouch! The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is not blind, you just have to do your job!"
"Look far ahead, don't be a nest sac."
"Then you say, what should I do?" Casually gave the nest head to the neighboring Xia Guang to eat.
"We are going to send people to various factories to look at the opium in the factories." The country's silver must not be spilled out, and it must be strictly controlled. The eldest brother has sent undercover agents into the spinning mill and kiln factory, and really arrested a few leaders related to opium. ”
"Well, I talked to Uncle Lobby, and he agreed, Xia Guang can use it, he is a little timid, and his brain is still flexible."
"It's best not to alarm the old prince and let him play with birds." You're young, make some achievements, and replace him later. The emperor has no silver, the eyes and ears are everywhere, after you served as the deputy envoy, did you solve the case? The second brother is helping you, and he is also helping the imperial court. Xia Guang can't do it, and in the past few years, I haven't seen him have great ambitions, to be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day. ”
After a moment of silence, Mianyu said: "Second brother, the younger brother listens to you, Ming I am the deputy envoy, one level older than you; Secretly, you lead me on a walk, and I will walk out of a bright road. But well, Xia Guang really can, yesterday in south street to see his fist and foot kung fu, to one to three, I was stunned. ”
Lan Chi understood that he was doubting himself and was just talking. So he said: "The second brother leads you away, of course, it is the light of the imperial court, as an official of the imperial court, we will serve the imperial court together, and we will not blink our eyes." Regarding the undercover of the factory, the third brother should remember that Shaoqing carried out the orders of the deputy envoy--- don't let people laugh off their teeth, saying that Shaoqing commanded the deputy envoy, and the emperor blamed it, but I can bear it! Xia Guang had fist and foot kung fu to let him come to Dali Temple as an errand boy. As long as there is a real mood against opium, they are all good officials of the emperor, let me know that I am half-hearted to fight opium, and I crush his bones. ”
Mianyu listened to the trembling of her feet and thought again, when did she fake the crow? He put his arm around Lan Chi's shoulder and said, "The three brothers' anti-opium sentiment is becoming more and more firm, just like the wall built by the capital city, which will never fall."
"Wang Ye, it is not a joke, the fight against opium is to pay for life; But without further resistance, the British cannons aimed at the walls of Aisin Kyora, but you did not weigh it yourself. I left, sending Zhou Qiang's daughter-in-law a few nest heads to make up for her body. ”
Mianyu said, "What's the hurry for you?"
Xia Guang came over and said, "Wang Ye, I don't want to send it to the two maids, that Ah Hua and Yuan Cui are very Iconic."
"Don't mess around, Lan Chi is not a sneaky cat."
"Wang Ye, have you ever seen a cat that doesn't steal?"
"This... I haven't seen it yet. Xia Guang, you came to Dali Temple as a master bookkeeper, there have been many things recently, Zhang Ping is busy with his father-in-law's family affairs, he can't take care of it, you come. ”
"Thank you Wang Ye, then I don't have to leave the capital, that place in Anhui, I'm really not used to it." After that, Xia Guang listened to Wang Ye wholeheartedly. ”
"What happened to your father?" Casually hand him the minced meat of the fried lotus root slices.
"They have all died of illness for half a year, people have gone to tea and cold, only Wang Ye you are worried about me..." Watching Wang Ye leave, he still finished the second half of the sentence.
Mianyu was still touched when she heard this, so she turned back and shook her hand.
In the past few months, although no major incidents have occurred, the Beijing Revolutionary Army has been working hard to carry out propaganda. After the blacksmith and xiaotie sneaked back to the city, they opened a jade shop--- the golden dragon jade, the business was not prosperous, but also able to maintain expenses. Meetings between the leaders of the revolutionary party were held in the shop. When Lan Chi encountered an emergency, he pretended to buy jade. Be sure to take a piece of boxing away, for fear of leaving doubts on the poor reasoning of the word.
At the one-day congress, the irons announced: "We must mobilize the factories in the urban areas to awaken the working class."
Lanchi said: "I sent undercover agents into it, the spinning mills, the steel mills, the kiln factories, they have been in close contact with the working class, they are fighting against the foremen; There are also black kilns, sacred wood, glass, stone materials, and these large and small factories must be sent undercover to let the flames of revolution spread throughout the capital. ”
He believes that in the present situation, revolutionaries should propagate revolutionary principles to the masses...
It is said that after King Huijun left the canteen, he thought that Lan Chi's words also had a certain truth, and decided to go to the saint on another day.
Soon, the emperor agreed to allocate silver to buy guns, and in ten days and half a month, a sum of military supplies arrived safely at the armor factory for storage. He said happily to Lan Chi: "The emperor is bleeding the country this time, and we can sit back and relax. How about drinking flower wine with you another day?"
Lan Chi said, "At this moment, I really want to send troops to take care of the weapons, and maybe Wu Jiagui will be worried about it again."
"What do you mean?" This is ---."
Lan Chi felt that he had lost his word, and quickly remedied: "Meaning, we need weapons to take care of the armor factory, the mountain bandits and pirates, the revolutionary party, and the opium seller."
"That's it, you go and mobilize Xuanwumen's servants to take care of it." In fact, Wang Ye's team did not withdraw from the post, it was the fake arms of the earlier, and he was still waiting for Lan Chi to jump in.
"This is to be mobilized, and the layout must be completed before dark." To build weapons, it is still necessary to mobilize civilian scholars, who have a passion for making weapons, and there are still more than a dozen people who are detained and try to release them. ”
"This is impossible, the emperor believes that they are anti-Qing revolutionaries."
"The imperial court treats the researchers who develop military supplies as revolutionary parties, and the technology of our country is always a mud. The four great inventions of the ancestors all let foreigners develop and research, and then come to clean up after us. ”
Seeing that Mianyu didn't speak, Lan Chi said, "Let's go, let's go to the armor factory and see how many weapons there are." The emperor's silver was invested in the National Research Center, and that amount was multiplied by descendants after a thousand years. ”
"I'm not going to the armor factory, I'm going to go by yourself." Offspring? What does it mean, I don't understand!"
"It means to be made with a small amount of silver, and the quantity is more than the purchase."
"Can it be studied in the Year of the Monkey?"
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step! This road is difficult to follow. When I study four-wheeled vehicles, I lack money to buy parts. ”
"Your papier-mâché is called a car?" For three or four years, I didn't see any movement, and I also studied four-wheeled carriages, which were not as good as carriages. ”
"There was no money but paper paste, a rectangular frame, supported by round wooden tires underneath, and someone driving in front of it. This is completely different from the principle of the carriage. I started tinkering with cars when I was seven years old, and my dad beat him up a few times for stealing a wooden box of wine for use. Once, he stole the cardboard model of the bride, including a western coat, a new cheongsam, a bridal robe, and so on, all of which were stolen to make a quad car and beaten. ”
"Then are you interested in studying gunpowder?" Wondering, a few days ago, the arrest of a few prime-age people who made gunpowder, would the initiator be Lan Chi?
"Gunpowder has no interest, that stuff is too dangerous, and people who can study this category are the treasures of the country, and lo and behold, they are caught and tortured." Let foreigners know that they despise the emperor, and the majesty of the country is gone. A country that does not know how to develop technology is like a breed that does not like to read, and is looked down upon by its neighbors, which is equivalent to being looked down upon by foreigners, and only then dares to introduce the scourge of opium to us. The country is strong, the weapons are unparalleled in the world, do you dare to see the British?"
Lanchi's purpose is to release technical personnel, the country is strong, to rely on them, first let Mianyu support itself.
To this end, Wang Lanchi has mobilized Mianyu many times. One day, mianyu was connected, and Jolanchi came to face the saint, trying to persuade the emperor to pardon the technicians and support their military research. After half a day of talking, the emperor said two words, "Go out."
Daoguang, Daoguang, narrow vision, makes China have no way to do.
Wang Lanchi knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has something to say."
"Say it!"
"Your Majesty, the working people of ancient times created four great inventions, gunpowder was used to resist bandits, but when foreign civilization was improved, China was still suppressing technicians."
"Is it wrong to arrest the revolutionary party?"
"They're researchers, with no political leanings. Your Majesty, foreigners use gunpowder to make guns to attack us, and during the Tang Dynasty, gunpowder was used for military purposes, so that there was a powerful Tang Dynasty. And today, we use gunpowder mostly for firecracker celebrations, sacrifices to gods, and do not study further, it is a pity, Your Majesty, please release the specialists, they are the pillars of the country, out of the darkness to rely on them. ”
"Nonsense, out of the darkness, the world is dark?"
"Your Majesty, if you reuse professionals, Your Majesty is the dragon leader, leading the whole country to soar and fly." The four major inventions were suppressed in the Yuan Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty was snubbed, and there was no research on inventions in the Qing Dynasty, which is a pity. ”
