Mixed with salted fish in Hongwudang

Chapter 251 Zhu Yunxi, do you dare to contradict us?
Since the road in front of the new workshop was occupied by the emperor's carriage, Lao Zhu got off the carriage half a mile away and walked on foot.

Seeing this, Zhu Yan also hurriedly followed, serving the old man by the side.

"Father, the scale of the workshop here seems to be larger than that of the Weapons Bureau."

When Lao Zhu saw the workshop rising from the ground, he was also full of relief, with pride and pampering on his face.

"Your eldest nephew is stubborn, but he is very disciplined and methodical when he does things, hahaha."

Seeing that the old man was in a good mood, Zhu Yan also chatted and laughed with him.But the old man smiled for a while, and his face suddenly turned dark again.

"Did you see it this time?"

"Privately coin coins, privately train soldiers, privately forge weapons..."

"Although the weapons can't be counted, but he holds so many workshops in his hands, how about he really tinker with some artillery for you someday, and make thousands of firecrackers!"

"When the time comes to enter the palace directly from the Xuanwu Gate, we will have to go to the harem to nurse the children!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yun's forehead was dripping with sweat, while secretly scolding Zhu Yunxi for being bold, while thinking about how to excuse him.

"Father, Yunxi's child respects you the most, respects you, loves you, and will never do such a rebellious thing..."

Old Zhu smiled lightly when he heard the words, neither affirming Zhu Fang's words nor denying Zhu Fang's words.

He is also familiar with history and knows the tragic situation of the struggle for imperial power in the past dynasties.

What's more, he himself has fought for power and profit all his life.

"Third son, he is still young, so it's normal for him to be a little attached to us. But when he gets older, he should naturally know that he wants power from us."

"Even if he doesn't fight at that time, the people around him will fight for him!"

When Lao Zhu said this, he looked at the three masters kneeling behind Zhu Yunxi.

Zhu Bian also knew about these three people, and he had acted on the old man's secret decree to recruit three people for the royal family.

However, they didn't give him the face of King Jin. He would rather be a servant of his eldest nephew than become a gentleman in the palace.

"Father, don't worry too much. The three of them are all famous Confucianists all over the world, and they will definitely not teach Yunxi to do big treason and immorality!"

Lao Zhu smiled indifferently.

"The three of them won't?"

"Wouldn't the [-] youths from the Craftsman's School know it too?"

"If you were one of those three thousand youths, would you wish your benefactor to take that position as soon as possible?"

"So, sometimes people can't help themselves."

Zhu Bing was secretly surprised when he heard this, he was only the third prince, and several staff members secretly urged him to compete for the crown prince.

Zhu Yunxie is the legitimate grandson, and has the support of his relatives, the Lan family and the Chang family, what if he has something that shouldn't happen and arouses the wrath of his father?

"Father, my son will lead people to demolish that school tomorrow, and organize the children of craftsmen into an army, and take them to the border areas to guard the border!"

"In addition, the son will also warn the eldest nephew, telling him to be respectful to you, and never have any thoughts that should not be born!"

Old Zhu snorted coldly when he heard this.

"You can save it, you think we are really narrow-minded people."

"Furthermore, if we can't even mess with a little rebellious grandson, we, the emperor, deserve to be sent to the harem to nurse our children!"

After Lao Zhu said this, he left Zhu Yan, strode forward, and stood behind Zhu Yunxi.

Seeing this, Yang Xinlu and the other three rushed to greet His Majesty loudly, but Zhu Yunxi happened to see an article in the magazine "Mengxi Bi Tan".

Shen Kuo said in the book that there is oil in the territory of Yan and Yan, which is born in the water, and the sand and stones are mixed with the spring water, and come out in confusion.It looks like pure lacquer, but it is like hemp, but the smoke is very thick, and the curtains are all black.

It is also said that its smoke can be used, and its soot can be collected as ink, and the black light is like lacquer, which is easier to use than pine ink.

Shen Kuo finally said that this thing will be popular in the world in the future.

Zhu Yunxi seldom had such time to calm down and read a book. He was very bored just now, so he took it here to pretend.

But when he saw Shen Kuo's records on oil during the Northern Song Dynasty, he realized that the wisdom of the ancients was not inferior to that of later generations, but was limited by the productivity at that time.

Even so, Shen Kuo still predicted that oil would become the most important thing in the world with his extraordinary insight and forward-looking.

Just when Zhu Yunxi was feeling emotional, he suddenly felt that someone was patting him on the shoulder. It would be strange for him to be angry, and he cursed subconsciously.

"Go away, don't disturb my study!"

When Lao Zhu heard this, he was stunned on the spot. Firstly, he was scolded by Ni Sun in front of so many people, which made him very embarrassed.Secondly, when did Ni Sun love reading so much that he didn't even notice that he was here?

"Zhu Yunxi!"

"Is your butt itchy again!"

"butt?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard the word "butt", his little heart skipped a beat on the spot, thinking that he seemed to have scolded the wrong person just now.Hearing the silence around again, not even a single noise, he suddenly realized that the bad old man was coming!

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly turned around to look, just in time to see the black lines on the old man's forehead staring at him.

"Grandfather, when did you come?"

"Grandson was just reading a book and saw the place of fascination. I really didn't know you were here, and I hope you are always happy!"

Seeing Xiao Nisun's obsequious smile, Lao Zhu raised his foot and kicked him in the ass.

"Get out of here, lead the way, show us your new workshop!"

"Hey!"

Zhu Yunxi hurriedly got up from the ground, and then led the way in front of him, leading Lao Zhu to visit the new workshop.

In the new workshop here, except for a semi-finished steam engine, the other machinery is no different from that of the Weapons Bureau.

Zhu Yunxi did not explain one by one, but only focused on the steam engine that will be launched soon.

When Lao Zhu saw that the steam engine didn’t need manpower or water flow, it could make a humming sound as long as coal was filled into the furnace, and it could provide a steady stream of power, so he walked around the machine curiously several times.

"The magic of this thing, if this thing can be successfully developed, wouldn't it mean that the workshop can be built wherever it wants, and it no longer needs to rely on the land of the river?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he hurriedly offered a rainbow fart.

"Grandpa Huang, what you said is really correct, you have reached the key point in a moment!"

"It's no wonder that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty praise you every day for your sageness. You are not only a sage, but also extremely smart, wise, and wise!"

Old Zhu glared at Ni Sun unhappily, and kicked Ni Sun again.

"Don't be sloppy in front of us. Do you think you can avoid a severe beating by saying a few nice words?"

"Come back to the palace with us in a while, let's have a good chat with you on the beam!"

Zhu Yunxi's scalp shuddered when he heard this, the injury on his buttocks was just right, this old man is going to hang him up and beat him again?

"Grandpa Huang, grandson didn't make a mistake today, right? You always have no reason to hit me!"

Lao Zhu took out a few coins from his sleeve, threw them in front of Zhu Yunxi, snorted coldly and stopped talking to him.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunxi's courage suddenly weakened a little, and he picked up the coin and put it in his sleeve with a guilty conscience.

No matter how you say it is money, what a pity to throw it on the ground.

"Grandfather, listen to my explanation, things are not as you imagined..."

Lao Zhu didn't agree with this at all, he just kicked the steam engine and asked.

"How long will it take for this thing to be developed?"

"There are still missing key components, but our Daming doesn't have any, so we have to go overseas to find them."

"Oh……"

Old Zhu showed a dazed expression when he heard this, and then said calmly.

"So you fooled a few Uncle Wangs and asked them to give you money to buy sea boats?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, his heart tightened again, and he secretly scolded those guys for being unreliable, and if he didn't want to take a stake, he just said it, how could he go to the old man to complain here!
"Grandfather, grandson didn't fool them, grandson really wants to bring them to earn some money..."

"Qianqianqian, you really lost money!"

"As the grandson of the emperor of Ming Dynasty, you have an extremely noble status, how can you always talk about money!"

After Lao Zhu reprimanded his grandson, he spread his grievances on Yang Xinlu and others.

"You three too, we entrusted the eldest grandson to you to teach, what have you taught!"

"As the saying goes, a gentleman's words and deeds should be based on morality, benevolence and righteousness first, how can he always talk about profit?"

The three of them looked at each other when they heard the words, thinking in their hearts that the salary of the old Zhu's family was really not easy to get, and they were about to be punished.

"Your Majesty's lesson is that the humble minister will be convicted!"

Fortunately, Lao Zhu also knew the virtues of his grandson, so he just complained to the three old gentlemen, without really intending to blame him.

"In the future, you should remind our grandson to study and study more, and don't spend all your energy on business."

"Even if you spend a little more time and energy on this steam engine that benefits the country and the people, it's better than getting a reputation for being greedy for money!"

"If our eldest grandson doesn't do business properly in the future, we will punish you severely and send you all to Yunnan!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"Weichen and others must pay attention!"

Seeing that the three gentlemen had suffered for him, Zhu Yunxi was not happy on the spot, and turned back unceremoniously.

"Grandpa Huang, I earned the money and did the work. It has nothing to do with the three gentlemen."

"It's because I'm stubborn, it's because I fell into the eyes of money. You always beat and scold me, there's no need to be harsh on my three gentlemen!"

Zhu Yuanzhang pulled his old face down on the spot when he heard this.

The reason why he reprimanded the three gentlemen was to find a way for Ni Sun to step down.Not only did this Ni Sun not appreciate it, he even dared to contradict himself!

You know, even when he dealt with Song Lian back then, Prince Zhu Biao didn't dare to contradict him openly, but begged hard to let Song Lian survive!
"Zhu Yunxi, do you dare to contradict us?"

When Yang Xinlu, Gao Ming and others heard this, they were all shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

"The third emperor's grandson is young, and he is in a hurry at the moment, so he has no intention of blaming His Majesty!"

Zhu Yunxi didn't care whether old Zhu was angry, turned around and helped the three gentlemen up from the ground.

"Three gentlemen, don't be afraid!"

"I will not let the three gentlemen suffer!"

"If Grandpa Huang blames me, this disciple is willing to bear it all, and I will never let the three gentlemen share the blame for me!"
