Chapter 411 Shock
The three of them sat together, Shen Jia made tea himself, and Shen An told them everything he had seen and heard along the way.

The triplets excitedly circled around the twenty or so large boxes, looking at this and that, and were dazzled by the sight.

Xiao Hengrui followed them like a little adult, and when they were rummaging through the boxes, he corrected them and asked them to search in an orderly manner.

Whenever Xiao Hengrui looked at them with a cold and expressionless face, they would obey him obediently and dare not raise any objections.

Shen Jia's teaching to them was also different. Xiao Hengrui was trained according to the requirements of the heir. Apart from the required martial arts, reading, and medical skills, the triplets did not have many other requirements.

The triplets have been used to good things since they were young, and ordinary things are not to their liking.

They didn't even look at those shiny diamonds, gems and the like.

Instead, he became very interested in pocket watches and telescopes.

"Brother, I found a great treasure." Xiao Hengyao handed the telescope to Xiao Hengrui as if he was presenting a treasure.

Xiao Hengrui took the telescope and tried to use it to observe objects in the distance, and found that they were indeed much clearer.

Xiao Hengrui immediately realized that this was a good item, especially useful in military operations.

He rubbed Xiao Hengyao's head and praised: "Yao'er is very good."

Xiao Hengyao smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, big brother."

Xiao Hengrui found two more in the box, one for the people in the Academy of Engineering for research, and one for his father and mother.

Xiao Hengche also happily handed two pocket watches to Xiao Hengrui, "Brother, do you think this is the pocket watch that mother mentioned?"

Xiao Hengrui took the pocket watch and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it is the pocket watch that mother told us about. Che'er is also very powerful."

When Xiao Hengxun saw that his second and third brothers were praised by his eldest brother, he immediately became dissatisfied and grabbed an object from the box and held it in front of Xiao Hengrui. His big eyes flickered and he asked for credit in a baby voice: "Brother, Xun'er also found a good treasure."

Xiao Hengrui squatted down and looked him straight in the eye, "Xun'er, do you know what this is? What does it do?"

Xiao Hengxun didn't dare to look into his elder brother's eyes, and lowered his head guiltily: "I don't know."

Xiao Hengrui took his hand and sat down on a chair nearby. "Xun'er, when you see big brother praising Yao'er and Che'er, you also want to get big brother's praise, right?"

Xiao Hengxun raised his big wet eyes and looked at Xiao Hengrui, nodding heavily.

Xiao Hengrui rubbed his hair: "Xun'er, you are too impatient. 'If you are impatient, you will not be able to take care of yourself, let alone govern the world.' As a superior, impatience is a taboo. Responding calmly, analyzing carefully, and thinking deeply are the keys to success..."

Xiao Hengxun was still young, and he didn't quite understand what he heard, but he still nodded seriously, "Brother, Xun'er understands."

Shen Jia and the others heard all of this. Shen An was amazed: "Sister, brother-in-law, how did you teach your children? How did you teach the four princes so well? Especially Rui'er, who is smart, calm and wise. He is only ten years old, but there is an indescribable elegance and majesty in his every move..."

"Of course my child is excellent!" Shen Jia smiled brightly, with a hint of pride between his brows. If he had a tail, it would have been raised long ago.

Shen An turned his head away, unable to bear to look at his sister's blatant and ostentatious smile.

Shen Jia was not going to let him go: "An'er, Yun'er and you are twins. His children are all grown up, but you are still single. You should also think about your personal problems.

Twenty-four is considered an older age in this era. If you meet a suitable girl, don't miss it. In life, you must experience love, get married, and have children, so that your life will not be in vain. "Shen An pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "Sister is right."

Shen Jia didn't insist and continued with the original topic.

Shen An gained a lot from this voyage.

For example, the pocket watch he brought back from the West, also known as the railway watch, is a reflection of the high-precision machinery manufacturing industry, which is what the Great Zhou is currently trying to catch up with.

Then there is the telescope. Shen Jia doesn't know much about glass manufacturing. She worked with students from the Academy of Engineering to develop clear and bright glass only two years ago. As for making the telescope, she only occasionally saw some principles on the Internet in her previous life, and the results were not very ideal. Now that she has the real thing for reference, she believes that she will soon overcome the difficulties.

Through Western musical instruments like harmonica and piano, they can learn about Western culture.

And those large boxes of diamonds are of great use both in industry and for viewing pleasure.

A few days later, Xiao Yichen personally met with more than one hundred foreign envoys.

The Roman envoy stepped forward respectfully and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Roman Empire is willing to establish a friendly relationship with the Great Zhou, and achieve mutual benefit and common development with the Great Zhou..."

Xiao Yichen sat upright on the dragon throne, his chin slightly raised, his dark and deep eyes swept over the more than one hundred foreign envoys, and his voice was calm and calm: "The Great Zhou will not and does not need to marry any country. If the men and women of the Great Zhou fall in love with people from other countries, I will not stop it..."

Xiao Yichen's words were undoubtedly a slap in the face of the Roman Empire. The Roman envoy was very unhappy, but he did not dare to get angry. His purpose in proposing a marriage alliance was to cling to the thigh of the great Eastern country, Da Zhou, in order to obtain Da Zhou's protection.

He bowed respectfully again and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder what Rome should do to obtain your protection?"

Xiao Yichen raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Rome can become a vassal state of the Great Zhou, pay tribute to the Great Zhou every year, learn the culture of the Great Zhou, and the Great Zhou can also send troops to your country to protect you..."

The Italian envoy looked at Xiao Yichen with disdain, "If Great Zhou wants to be the world's most powerful country, it depends on whether Great Italy is willing. Believe it or not, Great Italy will travel across the ocean to compete with you."

After the Italian envoy finished speaking, he signaled the people he brought with him to push a large object covered with a black cloth to the center of the hall and lift the black cloth.

There was a hint of sarcasm in Xiao Yichen's eyes. What the Italians thought was so great was actually the cannon that Xiao Hongbin sent people to sea and brought back.

Shen An knew about it when they were brought on board, and he tampered with all their shells. Otherwise, how could they have gotten to the main hall?

"Envoy from Italy, weapons like this were eliminated in the Great Zhou Dynasty ten years ago. How dare you show them off?" Xiao Yichen glanced at the Italian envoy indifferently, and an invisible pressure overwhelming him.

The Italian envoys couldn't help but feel fear in their hearts.

His knees weakened and he almost fell to the ground. He suppressed his fear and argued loudly: "How is this possible? I don't believe it."

"You can't help but believe it. You can all move to the square, and I'll let you broaden your horizons." Shen Jia lifted the curtain and came out from behind, and his cold voice rang out in the hall.

Shen Jia and Xiao Yichen want to make Da Zhou the world's most powerful country. Da Zhou dialect is the universal language, and Da Zhou currency is the universal currency. The most direct way is to intimidate them. Nothing is more convincing than weapons. Therefore, Shen Jia walked out from behind the scenes.

She was already extremely beautiful, and after giving birth to four children she acquired more charm of a mature woman. The envoys below were simply stunned.

Xiao Yichen's face suddenly darkened, and his voice was unhappy: "Don't you want to see what a real weapon is?"

The more than one hundred envoys naturally heard the implicit warning from Xiao Yichen and could not help but lower their heads guiltily and said, "Think."
