"Yes!" Fang Zigen said with joy on his face: "It is precisely because their status and salary have been improved that they are grateful to His Majesty, and they study all kinds of things day and night..." He thought for a while, and finally remembered The words that Luo Xin said: "Science and technology."

"Hahaha..." Luo Xin laughed and waved his hands and said, "Go and do your work first. I killed more than [-] people on the first day I went to the island today. Someone needs to fill the space they vacated. The three of you go to the island. Let’s make arrangements, and Taiwan’s construction cannot be stagnated.”

"Yes!"

Luo Xin waved his hand, walked towards the gate, and said: "You don't need to send people to follow me, I will walk by myself."

Even though Luo Xin said so, Fang Zigen hurriedly sent a team of guards to follow Luo Xin far away. Luo Xin went to Luo Sheng's place first, discussed with them about sending troops, and then accompanied Wang Cuiqiao in the Walk around Taiwan.Wang Cuiqiao looked at the tumbling wheat waves in front of him, and the lively and peaceful scene, and couldn't help admiring:

"I didn't expect, sir, you have such a Taoyuan overseas."

"Do you like it?" Rosen asked softly.

"I like it!" Wang Cuiqiao nodded slightly.

"You can come here anytime you like."

Wang Cuiqiao secretly glanced at Luo Xin, her heart was shaken abnormally, originally she just thought that Luo Xin raised a team of pirates overseas.But looking at it today, this is not the size of a pirate, this is simply a small country.What is Luo Xin going to do?
She dared not ask, nor could she.But watch everything carefully...

Day two.

morning.

Luo Xin personally saw off Luo Ye, Luo Sheng and Wang Cuiqiao at the pier.

in the afternoon.

Luo Xin was in Fang Zigen, and Zhou Xian and Cui Hao came to the Ministry of Industry together.The Ministry of Industry occupies an extremely large area, and the other five departments combined are not as large as the Ministry of Industry.

During this afternoon, Luo Xin was visiting and teaching each workshop.Especially for the workshops of guns, steam engines, and ships. When Luo Xin saw that they had already researched a little foundation, he said all the memories in his mind and let those craftsmen do their own research. .

These craftsmen were very excited when they saw Luo Xin, and their faces were full of gratitude.They had never made so much money in Daming, and they never had the status they have today.All this was given by Luo Xin, which gave them a mentality of dying for their confidants.

In the evening, Luo Xin found out the time and called all the brewing and firing craftsmen to a large room in the Ministry of Industry.These craftsmen looked at Luo Xin, wondering what Luo Xin called them here for.

Luo Xin had already written a lot of fruit wine recipes and brewing process last night, then put these papers on the table, and greeted the wine craftsmen:
"Come and see."

"Hula..."

Those brewing craftsmen gathered around, two of them were literate, and the rest of them were taught to read by Fang Zigen and others during the few months in Taiwan, so they all picked up a piece of paper to read. Go up, if you don't know each other, just ask those two literate people.

Soon, they figured out that these papers were all recipes for brewing fruit wine, and there were detailed brewing processes.

"Do you understand?" Luo Xin asked in a calm voice.

"Understood!" Everyone nodded.

"Then do it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Go!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The brewing craftsman packed up the prescriptions and retreated excitedly.Only then did Luo Xin turn his attention to the craftsmen who fired the kiln.The craftsmen who fired the kiln saw that the craftsmen who brewed wine got a new prescription, they couldn't wait for a long time, and immediately went to see Luo Xin.Luo Xin took out some paper and called the craftsmen over. This time he didn't let the craftsmen see it by themselves, because making glass is more complicated, especially in the later modeling. Luo Xin explained it to them bit by bit until the craftsmen were After understanding everything theoretically, Luo Xin let them leave.

Luo Xin knew that he would not be able to see the brewed fruit wine and fired glass this time. Although he had the recipe and process given by himself, it would take several months at the fastest, and he couldn't stay here for a few days. , put aside the matter of fruit wine and glass, and began to understand and sort out Taiwan's political and military affairs.He only stayed in Taiwan for seven days, and he was about to leave for Daming.

During these seven days, his ideas have been carried out in Taiwan, and everyone here has known him, especially the thirty or so civil servants he beheaded, so that all parties in Taiwan, no matter people from Ming Dynasty, The pirates who were still incorporated and the local aborigines were all impressed.

At dusk the day before he left Taiwan, the artisans of the Military Weapons Supervision came to meet Luo Xin excitedly.Holding a box in both hands, an old craftsman came to Luo Xin excitedly, knelt down on both knees, lifted the box high and said:

"Your Majesty, we succeeded."

Luo Xin reached out to take the box, opened it, his eyes lit up, and there was a short gun lying quietly in the box.

"Flintlock!"

Luo Xin jumped in confidence. When these craftsmen were still in the manor outside Hangzhou, Luo Xin asked them to study flintlock guns. Could this be the result of their research?
The box was divided into two parts, a large one and a small one. The short gun was placed in the larger part, and a pack of paper-wrapped bullets was placed in the smaller part.Luo Xin grabbed the short gun in his hand, picked up a bullet and loaded it from the back, then raised his hand to aim at a vase on the table in the distance, and pulled the trigger.

"boom……"

With a gunshot, the vase on the table shattered.

"So accurate?"

Overjoyed in his heart, Luo turned the gun upside down and looked into the barrel, and there was indeed a rifling.The place where Daming's firearms camp was criticized before was that the gun might not be accurate, because there was no rifling in the barrel.Luo Xin happily put down his gun and asked:
"How much did you make?"

The old craftsman said: "Go back to Your Majesty, and made two, one long and one short, this short one will be given to His Majesty for self-defense."

Luo Xin took the short gun in his hand again, nodded joyfully, and suddenly waved: "You guys come here."

After the words fell, he also stood up, came to the table, spread out the paper, picked up the brush, and drew the structure diagram according to the structure of the revolver in memory, and then explained it one by one, and finally said:

"Maybe there are still places that are not thoughtful, you should do more research."

"Your Majesty!" the old craftsman said excitedly, "You mean, this left..."

"Revolver!" Luo Xin reminded.

"Yes! Is this revolver capable of continuous firing?"

"Of course, its key lies in these organs..."

Luo Xin explained it again in detail, those craftsmen's eyes were full of excitement, they were fixed on Luo Xin's drawings, and they had no intention of talking to Luo Xin.

"This is technology!" Luo Xin sighed, thinking to himself: "With Daming's current level of technology, it definitely occupies a leading position in the world. If it doesn't look down on craftsmen too much, China's level of technology will always be ahead. Then let me give these craftsmen the status and identity they deserve."

Luo Xin left.

Standing on the deck and looking at the smaller and smaller Taiwan Island, my mind returned to Daming and Hangzhou.

"No one should have noticed that I left Daming, right?"

42 days after Luo Xin left Daming.One night, Luo Xin and Lu Daqing returned to the territory of Ming Dynasty.Luo Xin and Lu Daqing did not answer Hangzhou immediately, but returned to the manor outside Hangzhou.

After returning to the manor, Luo Xin heaved a long sigh of relief after listening to his subordinates' report.From the outside, everything in Hangzhou is very peaceful, and there is no confusion because of his departure.However, this is only the surface situation. If you want to understand the real situation, you still need to recruit Wan Daquan.He sent his servants to find Wan Daquan, and sent Lu Daqing to the Escort Bureau to sort out the news of the past forty days and send them to the manor.

Wan Daquan came very quickly. As Luo Xin's confidant, he basically knew everything about Luo Xin. He naturally knew where Luo Xin had gone.For the past forty days, he has been worried, who knows if Luo Xin will encounter a storm in the sea?Who knows if Luo Xin will meet Xu Hai, Xin Wulang, or Wang Zhi?
Now seeing Luo Xin returning safely, his heart that has been hanging has finally let go.

"Meet your lord."

"Daquan, sit down. Tell me about Shibo Division."

"Yes, my lord!"

Wan Daquan sat down and told Luo Xin what happened in Hangzhou in the past [-] days in detail.Nothing major, but Hu Zongxian sent two letters.Luo Xin took Hu Zongxian's letter, opened the envelope and looked at it. The content of these two letters was to invite Luo Xin to go to the Governor's Mansion to study how to deal with the current situation of Wang Zhi and Xu Hai.Things can never go on like this.

Luo Xin shook his head and put away the two letters. Now that he has made arrangements, he will naturally not help Hu Zongxian again.If Hu Zongxian doesn't send troops, then Luo Ye and Wang Cuiqiao will join forces with Xu Hai and Xin Wulang to confront Wang Zhi head-on.Luo Sheng secretly attacked Wang Zhi and weakened Wang Zhi's strength.If Hu Zongxian asked the navy to send troops...

Luo Xin couldn't help frowning, if Hu Zongxian sent troops, it must be to help Wang Zhi.Even if he saw that this was an opportunity to destroy Wang Zhi, Hu Zongxian would first join hands with Wang Zhi to destroy Xu Hai and Xin Wulang.Then, as appropriate, see if there is a chance to kill Wang Zhi.

"It seems that Hu Zongxian still can't send troops!"

"Go back to Hangzhou first!"

Luo Xin rested overnight in the manor, and then set off for Hangzhou with Wan Daquan and Lu Daqing.Wan Daquan and Lu Daqing whispered behind them, Luo Xin knew that they were talking about Taiwan, so he ignored them.

Back at the Shipbuilding Department, He Nian and Wang Ziren heard the news and immediately ran to the back to look for Luo Xin. The three of them came to the second hall and sat down for a while, then they saw Song Danian, the prefect of Hangzhou, also rushing over.Several people exchanged pleasantries, Song Danian and others asked him where he had been for more than a month?

Luo Xin just made up a few words, and then changed the subject.After chatting for a while, Song Danian suddenly slapped his thigh and said:

"No, it's just in time for you to come back."

"It's the right time?" Luo Xin looked at Song Danian in confusion.

Song Danian coquettishly raised his eyebrows and said, "The day after tomorrow will be the August Mid-Autumn Festival!"

"Mid-Autumn Festival!"

Luo Xin's expression became a little sad. He thought of his parents and wife who were far away in the capital, his elder brother who was far away in the grassland, and his uncle. The cousin and Wang Cuiqiao had already started to act at this time, right?Not sure how effective it is?
"No, no, what's wrong with you?"

Song Danian's voice sounded in his ear, Luo Xin woke up from his disappointment, seeing the concerned expressions of Song Danian and others, he smiled and said:

"I feel homesick."

Song Danian came to a sudden, sighed softly and said: "Yes, I miss my relatives every festival!"

Luo Xin waved his hand and smiled, "Don't be affected by my emotions. Brother Song just said what happened to August [-]th?"

"Oiran!" Song Danian's expression became coquettish in an instant and said, "No, you don't even know this, do you?"

"I……"

Luo Xin couldn't help being embarrassed, he became famous at a young age, the advantage is that the road ahead will be very long, the disadvantage is that he missed many scenery in the process of growing up.

Think about it, he took one of the imperial examinations, and he was only 12 years old when he took the county examination.

That's all.

In history, there are also many people who took the scientific examination at the age of twelve or thirteen, but they may not be able to become children. There are many people who are dozens of years old and still take the county examination.Even if you pass the examination of Tongsheng, you may not pass the examination of scholar, and you may pass the examination of scholar, but you may not pass the examination of Juren.

So a scholar would not be 15 years old like Luo Xin before he passed the Jinshi examination.

A 15-year-old Jinshi, you let him go to brothels?
A 15-year-old Jinshi, you let him hold the oiran?
The most important thing is that the process of Luo Xin's imperial examination is too fast. From Tongsheng to Jinshi, he won the championship consecutively, so he has no time to contact brothels.

Seeing Luo Xin's embarrassing appearance, Song Danian asked hesitantly: "No, you... have never been to brothels, have you?"

Luo Xin's face turned red with a bang, how could a scholar never go to a brothel in his life?

In the era of Daming, how could a literati have never been to a brothel?

"Shame!" Luo Xin felt depressed in his heart, but he nodded honestly and said, "I haven't been there."

The atmosphere became weird, Song Danian sat there staring at Luo Xin.He Nian and Wang Ziren were also stunned, and slowly, a smile appeared on the faces of the three of them, and the smile gradually expanded, and it seemed that there was still resistance preventing their smile from expanding on their faces.Seeing how the three of them were holding back, Luo Xin said angrily:

"Laugh if you want to, don't hold back your heart."

"Hahaha……"

All three of them laughed heartily, Luo Xin sat there speechless, picked up his teacup and drank silently.Seeing Luo Xin's appearance, the three of them forced themselves to hold back their smiles. Song Danian took a sip from his teacup to cover up his embarrassment, and then said with an uncontrollable smile:
"No, this... you could..."
