No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 543
"Others? He Ruoqiu mention?" Luo Junyao thought about it and asked with a smile.

Xie Yan held her slender plain hand, smiled without saying a word.

He didn't need to answer, Luo Junyao already understood.

Leaning in Xie Yan's arms, she asked enthusiastically: "Are you so sure that He Ruoqiuti and his mother clan can win the battle with King Gao Yu?"

Xie Yan said calmly: "King Gao Yu was able to support He Ruomuti originally because he had unique prestige in Gao Yu. But now, this premise no longer exists. King Gao Yu can't even control the situation in the king's city. And He Ruomuti... is not only his helper to get him back, but also the disaster he planted for himself."

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "Ah Yan is so powerful."

Xie Yan said softly: "I don't really like to use this method to defeat the enemy."

In essence, Xie Yan is still a general.As a general, he prefers to defeat the enemy openly and completely on the battlefield, rather than relying on conspiracy and calculation.However, he is not a young man with full of vigor, so he naturally knows what he has to do.

Compared with personal preferences, the most important thing is to let Dasheng bleed less.

"Why?" Luo Jun shook puzzled, "Isn't it great that you can get the desired result without fighting? Many people will die in a war."

Luo Jun shook his arms around his waist and said, "I don't want you and Daddy to go to war."

There was silence in the imperial study room for a while, then Xie Yan just smiled lightly and said: "Yao Yao is right, I was wrong."

"A Yan is not wrong." Luo Jun said, "I know what A Yan thinks, A Yan has worked hard."

Politicians and soldiers are originally two extremes.

But Xie Yan, after all, switched between each other and even merged Guangtong in an extreme time.Soldiers seek to defeat the enemy on the battlefield, while politicians pursue a balance of interests, with the least cost in exchange for the most results.

In these two respects, Xie Yan stood at the highest position in the whole Dasheng.

Compared with the regent, Xie Yan obviously prefers the status of the general of Zhen Guo.

Envoy Gao Yu didn't make Xie Yan wait too long, and envoy Gao Yu handed in the letter of credence again a few days later, expressing his agreement to the conditions proposed by Dasheng.

Gao Yu is willing to give all the places west of the Guna River to Dasheng as an apology.

Sure enough, Xie Yan and the court officials no longer felt embarrassed, and on the same day, He Ruomu was respectfully taken out of the prison and sent to Gaoyu's embassy in Shangyong City.

He Ruomuti had been a prisoner for several months, and he seemed to have lost a lot of weight, but had no external injuries. Obviously, he had not been treated harshly these days.

"Thank you, Prince Regent, for your mercy." In the study of the Prince Regent's mansion, He Ruomuti cupped his hands solemnly.

Xie Yan said calmly: "The eldest prince is polite, please sit down."

He Ruomuti went to one side and sat down, there was silence in the study for a while, and He Ruomuti just smiled wryly and said: "The regent has got everything you want."

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and said: "The eldest prince should also be happy, you are of great value in King Gao Yu's heart." He Ruomuti's value is indeed very high for King Gao Yu to exchange such a large piece of land.Even if it was a piece of land that Gao Yu couldn't fully control, no one would have too much territory.Sometimes even nominal ownership is crucial.

He Ruomuti smiled, noncommittal.

Because Dasheng's lion opened his mouth, his situation will only be more difficult after returning to Gaoyu.

"This time I lost, I hope I will have the opportunity to learn the methods of the prince in the future." He Ruomuti said in a deep voice.

Xie Yan said: "Welcome anytime."

"When is the eldest prince going to leave?" Xie Yan asked bluntly. He Ruomuti made a special trip to the Regent's Palace to catch up with him.

He Ruomut said: "Let's leave tomorrow."

"That's good, I can catch up with Gao Yu's year-end festival when I go back now." Xie Yan nodded and said, "I wish the prince a smooth journey." After finishing speaking, Xie Yan picked up a booklet on the table and handed it to He Jomuti.

He Ruomuti hesitated for a moment before taking it, but he didn't open it right away, but just looked at Xie Yan.

Xie Yan said: "The eldest prince may wish to take a look when you have time, it should be of some use to you."

He Ruomuti put away the brochure, stood up and said, "Thank you, farewell."

He Ruomuti was led out by the steward of the Prince Regent's Mansion, and when he passed the garden, he heard bursts of crisp laughter and children's cheers from the garden.

Seeing He Ruomuti looking over, the steward said with a smile: "It's His Majesty Wangfei playing with a few young masters over there."

He Ruomut said: "The Prince Regent's Mansion seems to be very different."

The steward smiled and didn't answer, and He Ruomuti didn't expect him to answer, and silently walked out beside him.

He was really jealous of Xie Yan.

It wasn't obvious that he had felt this way before, because at that time, although Xie Yan had a high position and powerful army, what the Dasheng royal family left him was actually a heavy burden and mess.He Ruomuti doubted that Xie Yan might die of exhaustion before the day he was killed by his enemy.

But it's only been a year, and laughter bursts from everywhere in Huaxiang, which was originally quiet and gloomy, and even Xie Yan's state is very different from before.

Although he still has many responsibilities, even more responsibilities and affairs, he seems a lot more relaxed than before.

Maybe it's because someone helps him share it, or maybe it's because someone is with him?

After sending away the envoy Gao Yu, Luo Junyao finally received the attributes sent from the Lin family in Zhangzhou, and together with the letter from the Lin family, there was also a letter from Tantai Feng.

The letter from the Lin family was written by her little uncle himself. Lin Chengyu has not been in Zhangzhou all year round. The last time he received a letter from him was before Luo Junyao left Shangyong for Qingzhou.

This time the letter was from Lin Chengyu who came back from overseas and met Tantai Feng who also returned from the south at sea, and it was only then that Lin Chengyu knew that his little niece had done so many great things.Immediately, he wrote a letter at sea, and sent it to Shangyong as soon as the ship docked.

In the letter, Lin Chengyu talked about the current situation of the Lin family in Zhangzhou. After reading the drawings that Luo Junyao sent over, the shipbuilders of the Lin family felt like they had found a treasure and started construction.It's just that such a big ship can't be built in a short time, it will take a lot of time.

There is also the ocean trade that Luo Junyao plans to carry out after the big ship is built, and Lin Chengyu is very interested.

The Lin family was originally engaged in this kind of business. The overseas world is vast, and they can build a larger fleet, more supplies, and even have stronger military support. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with it.

In addition, Lin Chengyu also heard about Luo Jinyan's stay in Huaizhou, and is planning to go to Huaizhou himself recently.If there is nothing to do afterwards, I will come to the capital to visit my niece.

Tantai Feng's letter was much simpler and neater, but thanks to Luo Junyao's help, the previous troubles of Tantai Feng's family have been completely eliminated.In addition, the cloth produced by the weaving workshop is very popular in the islands around the South China Sea and the surrounding small countries.As for those expensive brocades, they were bought up by local wealthy merchants directly in Zhangzhou without leaving the South China Sea.

Tan Taifeng said that he still wants to continue buying.

It is best to have a lot of luxurious silk and satin. The kings and nobles in the South China Sea and overseas countries are not bad for gold, silver and gems.

Luo Junyao put away the letter, very satisfied.

Hurry up and find Song Yu and others to discuss the various matters of the weaving workshop. Now the weaving workshop is basically managed by Song Yu and Mrs. Luo, with the help of Zhao Sisi, Shen Hongxiu and others. The weaving workshop has expanded a lot and is also under management. Organized.

"Shake."

Xie Yan came in from the outside and saw Luo Junyao lying on the table smiling happily, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

Luo Jun waved the letter in his hand and said, "Someone wants to buy our loom."

Xie Yan knew that she and those girls messed up the weaving workshop. Although he usually didn't care about it, he didn't let it go completely.Wen Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't Yao Yao not want to sell before?"

Luo Jun said: "The past is the past, and now is the present. These things are difficult to say, easy to say. If you really want to study, you may not be able to study it. Moreover, the workshop can't just rely on the weaving workshop to live. Earning some silver can also give the masters of the workshop more motivation to improve and invent other things."

Xie Yan nodded and said, "Yao Yao makes sense."

Luo Jun said: "Then, I promise them."

Xie Yan said: "I am afraid that there are not a few people who know that you have a new type of loom. Since you have agreed to the merchants in Jiazhou, people from other places will follow suit. The place where Dasheng is really rich in silk fabrics is not Jiazhou. "

Luo Jun shook his chin, "Then I have to let them prepare well. By the way, is there anything you want when you come back?"

Xie Yan held a long box in his hand, put it in front of her and said, "The Military Weapons Research and Development Department just sent it."

Luo Junyao was overjoyed, she hadn't been to the courtyard over there for almost a month, and heard that they had made some progress the last time she went, is this already done?

Luo Junyao opened the box with some expectation.

Sure enough, there lay a gun with the length of a woman's forearm. The body of the gun was very beautiful, and its appearance was almost the same as that of the early modern guns.

Most importantly, instead of loading the ammunition from the muzzle as in the earlier days, it was loaded from the rear.

Luo Junyao felt that if he could give them some hints, maybe they could manufacture real automatic or semi-automatic firearms.

Of course, being able to rub it out by hand and being able to mass produce it are still two different things.

But Luo Junyao doesn't mind, difficulties can always be overcome.

Luo Junyao took the gun in his hand and pulled it out a few times. His slender hands disassembled the gun into a pile of parts at a dizzying speed.

His eyes sparkled and he said: "Successive?"

Xie Yan nodded slightly, and Luo Junyao started to assemble again, saying, "Let's try it?"

Xie Yan said softly: "Go outside the city."

That's right, it's easy to scare people in the city.

Now that the Zhen Guo Army is still in Qingzhou, Luo Junyao and Xie Yan went directly to the camp where the Ding Guo Army was stationed outside the city.It happened that Luo Yun was also there, and after hearing about their intentions, Luo Yun personally led them to a valley not far behind the Dingguo Army camp.

This location is remote, and the outside is surrounded by the huge Dingguo army camp, so it doesn't matter if there is some movement.

Luo Junyao took out his gun, but didn't pick a target, and watched how many consecutive shots he had prepared for a target not far in front of him.

Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Not far away, a lonely dry branch on a tree snapped and fell down.

Luo Jun shook his eyes and turned to look at Xie Yan.

Xie Yan said: "I hit five shots, and the shaking was very powerful." The branch is not thick, and only one shot missed at this distance, which is already quite powerful.

Luo Junyao was a little ashamed, and said: "The accuracy is good." Those from the Armament Research and Development Department really surprised her, the performance of this gun is really good.

It's just that she hasn't practiced for too long, and her hands are a little raw.

Luo Yun was speechless for a long while, and then slowly said: "This is..."

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Father, this was made by a few adults from the Weapons Research and Development Department, isn't it amazing?"

Luo Yun nodded and said, "Very powerful."

If he was somewhat disapproving last time, Luo Yun was indeed shocked this time.

Luo Yun stared at the tree not far away, which had been interrupted with dead branches and looked even more dilapidated, and said, "This... can it be improved?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said: "Of course it can, isn't it not long after researching it? I think it will definitely become more and more powerful."

Luo Yun became interested, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Yao Yao thinks, how good is it?"

Luo Jun said: "For example, shooting many bullets continuously in an instant, or one shot can shoot two or three miles away, or... one shot can smash a beast. In short, I think there are infinite possibilities."

Luo Yun and Xie Yan looked at each other, feeling a little emotional ups and downs.

Even though they don't know the evolution of future weapons, they have to say that they do feel that what Luo Junyao said may come true.

If so, the way and pattern of war will be completely changed.

As a general, Luo Yun is naturally interested in weapons with lethality.Even if he is a master of martial arts, he usually doesn't need such assistance.

"Let's go, let's go back to the camp and talk again." Luo Yun smiled at his daughter and son-in-law: "I'll go to your arms development department later to see what weird things they are researching."

Luo Junyao suddenly felt a little guilty, looked at Luo Yun who was walking in front, and silently shrank to Xie Yan's side.

Xie Yan stretched out his hand to hold her hand and patted it lightly, and asked as he walked, "Yao Yao thinks, can these things change the current war situation?"

Luo Jun shook his head and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Probably, not yet."

Xie Yan asked: "Why?"

Luo Junyao raised the gun in his hand and said, "This one is not easy to make, is it?"

"Indeed." Xie Yan nodded.Even the best craftsmen in Dasheng have worked hard to make such a one, and the yield rate is extremely low.

Luo Junyao said: "So, only one or two or a few hundred guns can't change the world. Even if the Qi people or Gaoyu people are frightened at first, they will react quickly. Moreover, the Qi people He and Gao Yu are both tribes outside the Great Wall. This kind of... range is too short, so it is not suitable for dealing with them. Let those few continue to work hard. In addition, their hard work is one aspect, and the other side should improve their basic abilities. For example, smelting and forging cannot always be polished by a few powerful craftsmen."

"Thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention."

Luo Jun smiled, looked at the gun in his hand, and hesitated.

Xie Yan said: "You keep this for yourself, they specially gave it to you." In order to thank the princess regent for opening up a new world for them.

Luo Junyao couldn't put it down, and said generously: "I'll go and see if they need help later."

Xie Yan said: "They will be very happy."
