Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 317 Before Returning Home (Part [-])
Zhu Yijun deliberately allocated such a time, because naturally he had something to say to Gao Yushi, Gao Yushi was already mentally prepared for this, but when Zhu Yijun spoke, Gao Yushi was still taken aback.

"Pragmatically, I heard you want to make firearms?"

Because of the "classmate friendship" for more than half a year, the relationship between the two of them has become quite close.Zhu Yijun now only calls Gao Yushi Gao Shidu in front of people, but he is used to calling him by his first name in private.Of course, calling him by his first name is because Gao Yushi has no name, otherwise he must be calling Gao Yushi by his name.

Gao Yushi shook the chopsticks in his hands, and almost dropped the piece of mutton he had just picked up on the table.

Fortunately, his acting skills have been tempered for many years, so he immediately calmed down, raised his head, and showed a surprised face: "Where did the prince hear about it?"

Zhu Yijun didn't doubt that he was there, and said casually: "There is a small yellow door in my mother's concubine's palace. He has a cousin who works in the military bureau. He heard his cousin occasionally say that you gave you the third son of Jingxi." Shenyuan Bieyuan has applied for the approval document for co-manufacturing ordnance, and both the Supervisor of Rites and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies have approved it."

Gao Wushi was relieved a little, and said with a smile: "So that's what I said, and it's true." He only said half of it, but deliberately didn't explain why he did it.Of course, this is not because he has no discernment, but because he does not know Zhu Yijun's attitude, let alone whether Long Qing and Li Guifei know, and if they know, what is their attitude, so Gao To be pragmatic, we need to judge from Zhu Yijun's next words.

Seeing Gao Wushi admit it, Zhu Yijun immediately said, "Do you still know about firearms?"

"Uh, I like miscellaneous learning, the crown prince knows that." Gao Wushi set up an ambush first, and then said: "However, the matter of assisting in the manufacture of firearms is not something that I will do by myself. It is a long story. I don't know if the crown prince knows the uncle Cun'an, he was the admiral of Cao Jiang in the past, and among his servants is someone who is good at making firearms..." Then he briefly told Zhu Yijun about Gao Jie's past, Gao Yi's origin and director.

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "So that's what happened. I think it's a good thing... I didn't know that the firearms of the Northern Army had broken down like this. I only knew about those three-eyed guns after listening to your report yesterday. The blunderbuss is absolutely useless, or your servant named Gao Yu will make a great contribution this time!"

Gao Wushi smiled and said nothing.

Zhu Yijun thought for a while, and then said: "It's a good thing that you are willing to help the court build a new type of firecracker. If the time comes, and the Ministry of War can accept it, we might as well try to persuade my father to replace those three-eyed firecrackers. However, You are about to go back to your hometown to take the children's exam, it's better not to be too distracted, you should know that your reference this time is not only related to yourself, if you don't do well in the exam, even me and even my father will be embarrassed no light."

The Tongsheng Examination consists of three stages: the County Examination, the Prefectural Examination, and the College Examination. Only after passing all the examinations can one be qualified as a student member. Therefore, when Gao Yushi returned to Xinzheng this time, it would take four months to complete the examination. Time, this trip may take up to half a year before returning to Beijing.

Gao Wushi listened to Zhu Yijun's instructions, and did not express any determination, but complied calmly.

When Zhu Yijun saw it, he became a little curious, and said, "Although I told you so, I didn't think it would be so difficult for you to be a student. Why do you have a sad face?"

"I'm not worried about the exam, but about the firearms." Gao Yushi sighed, and said: "I went to observe the government this time, and found that if the firearms are really qualified, although their power is weak, they are still good. It's just that...the firearms that have passed the inspection and acceptance are less than one out of ten whose quality can meet the design requirements. The minister is worried now that even if a new type of firearm is designed in the future, it may not be possible when the various manufacturing bureaus manufacture it. Seems useful."

"That's right, why are there so many firearms that have passed the acceptance inspection?" Zhu Yijun was reminded by him, and remembered the incident, and frowned: "Could it be that the acceptance officials at all levels are playing tricks on them?" ?”

Zhu Yijun, the prince, didn't understand the sinister human heart at first, but after Gao Yushi stepped in, he now has the power to observe politics, read a memorial and the corresponding cabinet's handling methods every day, so he gradually understands a little bit, and no longer As naive as ever.

Gao Wu said honestly: Of course, it's not just the inspector who is playing tricks. In fact, from the purchase of materials to the manufacture of firearms, from the inspection at all levels to the distribution and storage, which link is no one playing tricks on?

But the high-practical words will definitely not be said clearly, although it seems that he and Zhu Yijun are communicating in private, but there are also young eunuchs waiting around, who knows if these people can be trusted?
He was already suspicious of Zhu Yijun knowing that he was "cooperating in making firearms". The little eunuch in Li Guifei's palace was so coincidental that he learned that he was "making firearms" from his cousin, and he told Zhu Yijun so coincidentally ?

One must know that Feng Bao is the most favored eunuch under Concubine Li Gui. With his power in the inner court, the arrangement of the little eunuchs in Concubine Li Gui's palace must have been approved by him, right?What if Feng Bao found out about this matter at all, and then deliberately spread it to Zhu Yijun, Li Guifei and Emperor Longqing?

Gao Yushi himself is a person who likes to manipulate the development of the situation behind the scenes. He is naturally wary of such conspiratorial incidents, so no matter whether it is really a coincidence or not, he will not ignore it.Besides, Feng Bao has been pretending to be his grandson for half a year since he was cheated by him last time, which is very abnormal!

Gao Wushi doesn’t think that Feng Bao is really afraid, and really gave up fighting against the Gao family——Feng Bao in history had a strong desire for power and a strong desire for revenge, and he would bow his head just because he was cheated once by himself Admit it?No way!
Therefore, Gao Wushi just smiled wryly at this moment and said: "I can't say what's going on, anyway, according to my investigation this time, no matter it is manufacturing, transportation, inspection and acceptance, storage, the person in charge of each link can be found. The reason was that it was none of their business. After hearing that, I really wished I could build a workshop to see if it was true that only trial-produced guns could stabilize the quality. Once mass production, there would be so many problems. ……Ugh!"

Gao Yushi's words were obviously a bait, but how did Zhu Yijun know?The poor Crown Prince was immediately reminded by this sentence, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Eh? Be pragmatic, don't say it, I think your idea is quite good!"

As Zhu Yijun spoke, he became excited and said, "Those people below are unreliable in their work, we can do it ourselves!"

Gao Wushi was startled when he heard this, and cried out in his heart: us?Just wait, I'll just do it, Your Majesty the Crown Prince, you don't need to interfere!
