Sir, you have to pay more

At this time, the research and development of firearms of the Qing court did not lag behind foreign countries, and it was also very experienced in imitating foreign firearms. The small pistol around Jia Liu's waist was imitated by the Manufacturing Office.

The original gun type should be obtained from the Swedish mercenary captives when the Qing army attacked Junggar.

Qianlong had a problem. He paid special attention to foreign firearms and asked the manufacturing office to imitate excellent Western firearms. However, he strictly restricted the Qing army's firearms and equipment, so that ten green battalion soldiers in some provinces were equipped with two firearms.

In the end, the weapons and equipment of the Qing army lagged behind the contemporary foreign devils by a large margin. During the Opium War, they used guns and blunderbuss to fight against other people's fast guns.

The range is not enough, the power is not enough, and in the end you can only use toilet excrement and women's dirt to fight against the enemy.

Fortunately, the fourth devil is not squeamish now.

Hiring local military personnel with huge sums of money, and then introducing Western technical experts with high salaries, and combining Chinese and Western elements to build a military industry is the path Jia Liu has set for his rise.Originally, they wanted to do it in Sichuan, but they were "detained" in the capital by accident.

However, compared with Sichuan, an inland province, Zhili, which has a coastal area, is undoubtedly more suitable for the construction of industrial parks.

Otherwise, he would not readily agree to go to Baoding as the governor of Zhili.

As long as Jia Liu provides the hardware and good treatment, as well as the gun-related principles he knows ahead of this era, such as flintlock, trigger, smokeless powder, and breech loading, the Qing army will be able to use it within two or three years. Weapons and equipment to achieve a qualitative change.

And Jia Liu has the most basic condition for technological innovation, which is to allow continuous mistakes.

Technicians can be paid a lot of money to develop it, and they are allowed to keep failing.

The proposed military industrial park in Tianjin, including the military experts being recruited, is the foundation of Jia's new army.

The foundation of a tall building.

Jia Liu didn't elaborate on the details with his second brother-in-law. This is a family gathering, and it's not easy to mention work matters on this occasion.

Just let the second brother-in-law continue to do this work, and if the money is not enough, tell him that when the funeral of the Empress Dowager is over, he will specifically connect with the second brother-in-law.

And told the second brother-in-law in advance that he and the second sister might move to Tianjin.

"It's okay, anyway, I have nothing to do in Beijing, by the way, where's dad?"

Gao Delu came for a while, but he didn't see his father-in-law, so he couldn't help being surprised.

"Who is our father, don't you, a son-in-law, know?"

Jia Liu's silver smile instantly turned into a smirk.

Compared with the smirk, the silver smile is a bit inappropriate.

After all, this is discussing his father.

The reasoning is that his uncle can take his nephew to a brothel, but he can never take his brother-in-law to find a girl.

Conversely, yes.

It's only natural for a brother-in-law to play with his brother-in-law.

"Our father,"

Gao Delu understood what his brother-in-law meant, and winked, "Are you doing immoral things again?"

Ok?
The second brother-in-law's description made Jia Liu's eyes shine, isn't it an immoral thing?

Just as we were talking, Daquan came back.

Humming a ditty into the courtyard, with a happy and relaxed face, as if reborn.

"Father is back."

The eldest brother-in-law Wang Zhi'an knew the old man was a man, and from this posture, he knew that the old man was probably doing something immoral, so he smiled wryly and said hello.

"Hey, I'm back, they're all here."

Da Daquan smiled and told him to call you, and finally patted Shuanzhu on the shoulder, "Zhuzi, you are not too young, how about the master tell you a daughter-in-law after the new year?"

"don't want,"

Shuan Zhu shook his head immediately, probably because he thought there was something good about women.

The two daughters wanted to persuade their father to be more restrained, but in front of Ruxiu, his daughter-in-law, there was nothing to say.

Ruxiu was like a mirror in her heart, but if her man didn't talk about this kind of thing, what would she say.

Wu Qinglian, who came to the door by herself, has not been able to talk to Jia Jia's son-in-law until now. Although the old lady treats her well, but the girl has something on her mind, and she doesn't know the temperament of "father-in-law", so she didn't pay attention to the strangeness on everyone's faces. .

In fact, Jia Liu has been peeking at Wu Qinglian, and the two of them met each other a few times, and each of them felt ashamed.

It's just that Jia Liu intends to cool Wu Qinglian, he has to check her details for the past six months, because he feels that Wu Qinglian's sudden visit to his lair must have ulterior motives.

"Where is my eldest granddaughter, come, let grandpa hug her."

Daquan also felt guilty, pretending to look for his granddaughter.

Jia Liu suddenly thought of something, didn't it mean that the entertainment industry of the Empress Dowager's national funeral was closed for [-] days, why did Aunt Zhao still receive guests?

Thinking about it again, most likely Daquan is hiding in the golden house outside.

His eyebrows twitched involuntarily, he is not afraid of Daquan playing to death, anyway, the underground CBD is arranged, dead burials are fine, live burials are also fine, just afraid that Daquan will make Aunt Zhao's belly big, and he will find a younger brother for him .

It is right to divide the family property by yourself, but Jia Liu is not very willing to share the family property out of thin air.

Thinking of this, he wanted to say a few words to Daquan, and while his brothers-in-law and sisters were unprepared, he gave Shuanzhu a wink, and the latter hurried over to hug Wen Jing.

Jia Liu stepped forward and quietly dragged Daquan to the side, straight to the point: "Father, did you take care of Aunt Zhao?"

Daquan was at a loss: "What's wrong?"

Jia Liu looked around and saw that his sisters were not staring at him, so he said in a low voice, "You are the one who raised Aunt Zhao?"

Hearing this, Da Daquan's waist straightened: "That's right! You can inquire all over the city, your father's character is nothing to say, he is definitely not an irresponsible man!"

Jia Liu said this and wanted to throw his hand and punch him, why did mother die, you don't have any clues at all?
Seeing his son's face twitch, Da Daqian probably realized that his son might be thinking of his mother, so he couldn't help venting his energy, shrinking his body and bending his waist a little.

After all, back then he was sorry for his six sons and his mother.

But this time, he wasn't for himself.

"Father rented a yard for Aunt Zhao in the outer city, and it didn't cost much. Don't look at Dad like this. Dad doesn't do things for himself, but for you, six sons!"

"Why for me?"

Jia Liu was surprised to hear that, and Aunt Zhao never let him sleep, why did you get all of you on my head.

"Liuzi, think about it. Everyone outside knows that Aunt Zhao is close to your father. Now that you are such a high-ranking official, I want someone else to sleep with your Aunt Zhao. Where do you think you will put your face?"

Now I understand my father's painstaking efforts.

"."

Jia Liu swallowed, licked his lips, stroked his beard, and scratched his butt, but he couldn't refute.

Because Daquan is right.

This is to let outsiders know that his father's lover is still sleeping with others, where is his face going?

"Father, if you take care of Aunt Zhao, you can do it. It won't cost you much anyway, but don't blame me for not saying hello to you. If you want to make Aunt Zhao's belly bigger, I'll split up with you right away."

Jia Liu is not threatening Daquan, but doing what he says.

"Sixth son, you and dad are serious!"

Daquan is in a hurry, really in a hurry.

It was the first time Jia Liu saw Da Daquan hanging like this, and his body trembled for no reason.
