MTL - My Brother-in-law is the Prince-Chapter 307 treasure

  Chapter 307 Treasure

After a pause, Zhang Anshi put away his hesitation, put on a confident look, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, they insist on learning how to make machine guns. Of course, I have fulfilled their wish. Why is it that their families are strange now?" Woke up as a minister?"

  Zhu Di said: "Then why didn't you notify your family?"

  Zhang Anshi's face was serious, "This... can't be said."

Zhu Di had a strange look on his face: "Why can't you tell? No one can be found now, their parents, wives and children, how anxious they are! This is missing for no reason, they will not go to Qixia to look for you, they will come to find my important person in a hurry .”

Zhang Anshidao: "This matter involves military secrets. Of course, I can't say it. Your Majesty...I have never said to the outside world that I have a place in Qixia that specializes in researching weapons. If I say so, let others know what to do if someone makes a surprise attack. ? There is only a thousand days to be a thief, but I have never heard of a thousand days to guard against thieves."

   This is indeed true!

  After Zhu Di heard this, he became serious and nodded: "So that's the case, why didn't you say it earlier, you have deceived me too."

   "Your Majesty didn't ask."

  Zhu Di said angrily: "You don't know about this at all, so why ask?"

  Zhang Anshi said awkwardly: "Chen...Chen..."

   "Okay, okay." Zhu Di said: "In any case, so many days have passed, let them go home quickly, and don't let their families worry."

   "Ah...this..." Zhang Anshi felt guilty.

   "What's the matter?" Zhu Di saw that Zhang Anshi's expression was a little bit wrong, and said, "Is there something wrong?"

  Zhang Anshi had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, you can't let it go."

  Zhu Di frowned and said, "Can't let it go? Why can't we let it go? These guys..."

  Thinking of these guys, especially Xu Jingchang, Zhu Di seemed to have sensed something, and said angrily, "Did Xu Jingchang make trouble again?"

"That's not true." Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, didn't you just say that it involves military secrets. There are many projects in progress in the research workshop, and many of them are of great importance. All the craftsmen involved in this matter, They are all incognito, in order to prevent information leakage, or leakage of technical information.”

"Your Majesty... the machine gun is just one of the items. There are seven or eight items of the same level as the machine gun, and there are three items that are more important than the machine gun. In order to keep it secret, I not only built a large number of guard posts on the periphery, but also built three high-rise buildings. Qiang, everyone involved in this matter must ensure that everything is safe, the only thing is that they are afraid... of being detected in advance. Your Majesty, if such a large number of technical materials, manufacturing processes, and even alchemy formulas are leaked out, it will not be a mess. Just for fun, Your Majesty doesn't want the Tartars to suddenly shoot at my Ming army with machine guns on the battlefield in the future."

  Zhu Di: "..."

  Seeing that Zhu Di was silent, Zhang Anshi fell silent.

  Zhu Di took a deep breath, and said, "Could it be that you mean...they stay there for the rest of their lives?"

"You don't have to stay forever." Zhang Anshi said: "The initial stage of research must be kept secret. When many research projects are completed or even have finished products, then there may be new plans and enter the next step of research. After the finished product comes out, production and assembly will start, and when I, Da Ming, have reached the top in this area, then there will be nothing to hide."

  Zhu Di heaved a sigh of relief, so he said, "I'm startled, how long will it take to let them out?"

  Zhang Anshi thought for a while and said: "Slow three to five years, fast one year."

  Zhu Di: "..."

  Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty..."

  Zhu Di said: "Then how will I explain to their family members? This person can't disappear out of thin air, right?"

  Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, I don't blame the minister. I told them not to, but they insisted on going. This is what they asked for, and the minister didn't stop me."

  Zhu Di: "..."

  Zhang Anshi put on a very embarrassed look, and finally said: "Forget it. It's my fault. Otherwise, I'd better let them out."

   "Release a bird." Zhu Di became angry instead, and said: "If you die, you must die inside, this is the foundation of the community."

   "Ah..." Zhang Anshi scratched his head: "How can I explain it?"

  Zhu Di said: "I will tell their family members that I have told them a confidential matter and taught them to do it."

  Zhang Anshi said: "I'm afraid they won't believe it."

  Zhu Di snorted coldly and said: "If you believe it, you have to believe it, if you don't believe it, you have to believe it."

   "Your Majesty is wise."

  Zhu Di said again: "These people, you have to watch closely, especially Xu Jingchang, this guy is the most naughty, maybe this guy will escape."

Zhang Anshi said very seriously: "Your Majesty, don't worry! Not to mention that there is a post at three steps, a post at five steps, and the wall is three feet high. The high wall is also poured with glass slag. If they can't escape, even if they dig a hole... It can't be dug out, Chen specially chose the site on a rock."

  Zhu Di suddenly showed a relieved look, nodded and said: "Well...you are careful."

  Zhu Di suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "How is Taiping Mansion now?"

  Zhang Anshi said hesitantly: "Not very good."

  Zhu Di raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

  Zhang Anshi is not stupid, it is beneficial to call Qu more often, maybe His Majesty is soft-hearted and suddenly gives some sweetness.

"Manpower is tight, and there are a lot of refugees. The newly recruited civil and military officials are not familiar with their business, and... and... the housing problem is also very prominent, and there are many poor people..." Zhang Anshi said like a cannonball Many questions.

  These problems are indeed the main contradictions in Taiping Mansion right now.

  This is a completely blank social experiment. Every time an old problem is solved, new problems inevitably arise. Development solves some problems, but development also creates new problems.

  This is different from other state capitals. In other state capitals, as long as you rely on three axes, as long as you are diligent, you can solve the problem.

   But in Taiping Mansion, everyone has no experience, and every time they encounter a new problem, no one can find the final answer to the problem, and can only find it out by groping a little bit.

  After Zhu Di heard this, he frowned: "I didn't expect you to have a refugee problem. The Ningguo Mansion also had a refugee problem before, and it is said that it has been resolved now. Many people are bragging about Jian Qing."

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "Mr. Jian is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials after all. He is a veteran of the three dynasties. How can I compare with him?"

  Zhu Di said: "You don't have to be humble. I know a little about your situation in Taiping Mansion. You have done a good job, and you will work harder in the future."

  Zhang Anshidao: "Yes, I will do my best."

  Zhang Anshi didn't stay for too long. Zhu Di specially summoned him this time, mainly to ask about the whereabouts of Xu Jingchang and those guys. Now that this matter has been concluded, Zhang Anshi didn't stay too long.

   After leaving the palace, he immediately returned to Qixia.

  Seeing that there were many captains on the street, he showed displeasure, and called Chen Li over: "Why are there so many captains on the street?"

  Chen Li wiped off his sweat, and then said: "A group of refugees from Zhenjiang and a group of refugees from Fengyang Mansion fought. There were too many people, and the police couldn't suppress them. I humbled and brought people to help."

  Zhang Anshi said angrily: "It's really unreasonable to hit his mother! Just now His Majesty praised me for doing things safely, and the Taiping Mansion is well managed. Turn your head, and you will cause trouble!"

Chen Li said with a bit of grievance: "The main reason is that there are too many refugees. The refugees from various prefectures in Nanzhili all come here. Everyone has different customs and accents. If there is any friction, they each go to find help from their fellow villagers. As soon as they came out, it was a nest, densely packed, and even the humble ones felt scary."

Hearing the reason, Zhang Anshi's face softened a little, and he said: "It seems that the inspection department's patrolling will increase in scale. In addition, those who make troubles will be severely punished. Of course...we have to find a way to let all counties Take the lead and set up some resettlement centers. Many people come to our Taiping Mansion, they are unfamiliar with this place, and they don’t know how to settle down, and those who want to recruit manpower are short of manpower, and they don’t know where to recruit people. This is an urgent business. Sex is highlighted."

Chen Lidao: "My lord, don't mention these dental shops. Many dental shops are very cunning. They collect a sum of money from the owner of the workshop, then turn around and go to fool the refugees, saying that they are introducing them to work. They should be taught to sign a contract of sale, saying that part of their salary will be deducted to cover the introduction money. They will eat at both ends, and when the hired workers find out afterwards, there will be a quarrel, and the tooth shop will use their unfamiliarity to deceive them again. people."

  Zhang Anshi was furious, and said angrily: "Fucking his mother, it seems it's time to take care of it!"

   "One word from my father-in-law, I will deal with it when I am humble."

But Zhang Anshi shook his head: "Jin Yiwei does his own thing well. This kind of thing is controlled by the police. It's inconvenient for you to intervene. It's better for everyone to perform their own duties. But the government needs to come up with a way. It has to raise a labor service office. We specialize in mediating such matters, and directly shut down those that do not meet the norms, so as not to cause disputes."

   Before resting for a while, Zhang Anshi only took a deep breath, and went to Gao Shaoyin and Li Zhaomo to discuss without stopping.

   In the blink of an eye, the New Year has passed.

  As soon as the new year comes, it is the time when the royal wine is the best-selling. In many mansions, wine is piled up like a mountain, but Zhang Anshi has no one to give gifts, and some old students and officials come to visit.

  Everyone knows that the Zhang family is rich. It can be said that they are incomparably rich.

   Zhang Anshi had a rare leisure time, hugged his child Zhang Changsheng and teased him for a long time, his eyes also revealed the warmth of a father.

  Xu Jingyi's belly is getting bigger gradually.

However, when Xu Jingyi mentioned her cousin Xu Jingchang, she couldn't help but feel very sad: "I don't know what kind of imperial order I have, and I don't see anyone during the Chinese New Year. The Dingguo Palace is extremely deserted, and my father is also very worried about it. "

   Zhang Anshi looked at his wife's frown, and then put Zhang Changsheng on the bed and let him sit by himself.

Zhang Changsheng's eyes were wide open, his face was stupefied, and he made an ah-ah sound, his body was wrapped like a rice dumpling, and he didn't seem to want to sit, so he leaned back directly, and then fell on the pillow, then put his legs aside, adjusted Once in the sleeping position, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

   Zhang Anshi looked at his son entertaining himself, and couldn't help but smile.

But he still forced himself to look away, looked at the worried lady and said, "Yeah, it's really pitiful. It's time for family reunion after Chinese New Year. But he is also an adult, and he will take care of it." My own. But you, now that you are heavy, don't think too much!"

  Xu Jingyi looked at her husband's concern for her, and gradually relaxed her frowning eyebrows, and said with a slight smile: "Hey, no matter, he is the Duke of Ding, and he should be on the emperor's errand."

   It's just that she was still a little worried: "I heard someone say...they...they had an accident."

   "What happened?" Zhang Anshi was taken aback: "What happened?"

   "It is said that they are dead, but His Majesty is afraid that their family members will be sad..."

   "No way, I don't think His Majesty is such a person." Zhang Anshi said.

Xu Jingyi said: "It's not certain, husband, think about it, what is the errand, so that there is no news at all? His Majesty's side is also unclear, husband...my uncle was killed at the beginning, it is already pitiful, if now... …Hey…"

Zhang Anshi quickly comforted him: "Xu Jingchang's face looks like a **** at first glance. Those who belong to the **** usually don't die so easily, so don't worry about it. You are pregnant now, so don't be sad. Three to five years, at least one or two years, he will definitely come back."

  Xu Jingyi let out a sigh of relief, tried her best not to think about it, and gently held her belly with her hands, and said, "I can only think about it better."

  At this time, Zhang Changsheng seemed a little tired of licking his lips, so he began to chirp and hum.

  Zhang Anshi had no choice but to pick him up again. Seeing that the little face seemed to be full of resentment and dissatisfaction, Zhang Anshi deliberately widened his eyes and said, "Son, who are you looking at?"

Zhang Changsheng also stared at Zhang Anshi with his eyeballs, he seemed to be taken aback, his mouth was flattened, he wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to cry, he seemed to feel that Zhang Anshi's fierce appearance made him uneasy, so he quickly and obediently put his head on Zhang Anshi's chest, Rubbing to show intimacy.

  Xu Jingyi felt distressed, and hurriedly said: "Don't be fierce, he is timid."

  Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "It seems that this does not need to be tested, it must be my own."

   "How could it not be your own..." Xu Jingyi was angry.

   "I was just joking." Zhang Anshi patted Zhang Changsheng's head lightly, and said, "Seeing that he is so timid, I feel relieved. This child will live to be a hundred years old in the future."

  Time passed quietly, and at the beginning of spring, news came from Deng Jian that a large number of seeds were ready to be promoted.

   Not only that, but also brought a good news.

  Zhang Anshi hurried to the farm.

  The scale of this village has grown a lot, covering a thousand hectares of land, the fields are connected with fields, and there are also a lot of households, a few villages.

   One of the most striking is a village of the families of prisoners.

  The brothers and children of these criminals were sent to the prison at first, and they could not be protected day and night. That place...in their eyes was like the palace of the king of hell.

  But who knew, they were all sent here.

They settled down here with trepidation, and gradually discovered that no one tortured them, and no one insulted their female relatives, and even...there were very few guards who guarded them. Well, it doesn't matter if you farm or just feed yourself.

  If these people were sent directly at the beginning, they must have complained, but if they went to the prison first and sent them here again, they would only be grateful in their hearts.

  At this moment, all pride has been shattered, and it is a blessing to be able to survive.

So they also began to gradually adapt, picking manure, transplanting rice seedlings, harvesting, and observing the conditions of each field. Even because most of them have read books and have a lot of knowledge, Deng Jian even asked them to be responsible for recording the experimental fields in various places. The data.

   When Zhang Anshi arrived, a young man who followed Deng Jianshi looked familiar to Zhang Anshi.

  Deng Jian seemed very happy, and seeing Zhang Anshi glanced at the young man again, he said, "His name is Jian Ying. Whose son do you think he is?"

  Zhang An Shidao: "Could it be Jian Yi?"

  Deng Jian smiled and said, "My An Shi is smart."

   "That's right." Zhang Anshi smiled wryly, "I'm really very smart."

  Jian Ying went to pour tea and water for the two of them.

   Waiting for him to leave the lobby, Zhang Anshi whispered: "Is this person reliable? No...won't he harbor resentment?"

Deng Jian shook his head: "He can survive without being humiliated. He is very content. Doesn't Anshi know how the offender's children will be treated? His wife, and his two younger sisters, It's all good, and he appreciates it."

  Zhang Anshi resentfully said: "That's good, that's good, this person...how is he here?"

"I didn't get used to it at first, and many people still had a little arrogance, but gradually they got used to it and were willing to work hard. This Jianying used to have to be helped by dressing, but now she can go to the field by herself, and... It’s very fast, and now several important experimental fields are also entrusted to him to take care of. He is quite careful and smart.”

Deng Jian said, looking very proud: "I didn't expect that it would be so useful for scholars to plow the land! Many things, if you call them once, they will understand. And you can also figure out some skills, a lot of data, all It was they who recorded how much fertilizer was used, how it grew every day, and the situation of insect infestations.”

Zhang Anshi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yes, reading is still useful for people, but you can't hold a useless knowledge to death, but people who have read books can easily master the method of learning. This method is used in Other places can also be integrated."

Deng Jian said: "So I am much more free now. I deliberately let them do a lot of things, just to let them experience and practice. How many people who have studied the land are willing to care about the knowledge of farming? I am afraid that there will be a When I die, these accumulated things will be gone. So now, mainly with the help of Jian Ying, I am writing a book on agriculture, and I will talk about some of my daily farming experience. I hope these things can help the common people. Kind of helps."

   As he spoke, he quietly said: "Hey, I have served people for half my life in my previous life, and I will serve crops for half my life in the second half of my life. No matter what I serve, I always hope to do well."

   "Cultivating agricultural books?" Zhang Anshi said happily: "Yes, yes, this is a good thing!"

"This is Jian Ying's proposal." Deng Jian said: "After he became a criminal, His Majesty's will is clear and he cannot be pardoned. He will be here with me for the rest of his life. There are also many other officials and family members. There are few smart and capable people. Our farm is quite profitable. I plan to build some houses here. With my crippled body and Jian Ying and the others, I don’t expect to enjoy any blessings in the rest of my life. But the female relatives are in the hut, There will be a lot of inconvenience in the end. Their father and brother have committed a crime, but the crime should not be blamed on them."

  Deng Jian is kind-hearted, but Zhang Anshi is silent. From a personal point of view, he also agrees with Deng Jian's words.

   Only sometimes, but I feel that it is a woman's benevolence.

  But for Zhang Anshi, as long as Deng Jian is happy.

  So he said: "Then you tell me earlier, I will call a construction team, and I will pay the money."

"No need." Deng Jian shook his head and said, "We have to let the money and food we dug out from the ground go to build it. When we sent them here, we also taught them to support themselves. This rule cannot be changed. If it is changed, some people may think differently." It's different. All their lives, they have relied on their family and the power of their father and brother, and have been rich for so many years. In the future, it can't be like this anymore. "

  Zhang Anshidao: "Deng Gong...no...Deng..."

  Zhang Anshi didn't know what to call Deng Jian for a moment. Looking at Deng Jian, there were wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. In fact, he was still young. Maybe because he had experienced strong winds and waves, and faced the loess with his back to the sky, his temples were already gray.

  Zhang Anshi finally said: "I'll call you Uncle Deng."

  Deng Jian was flattered and said: "I can't do it, I can't do it."

  Zhang Anshi said with a face that could not be refused: "There is nothing you can't do. Okay, Uncle Deng, let's talk about serious business. What is the happy event?"

   "There are two."

Being able to be called uncle by Zhang Anshi, Deng Jian's heart was full of warmth. At this time, he said cheerfully: "The seeds of potatoes have been carefully selected and distributed to farmers in various counties for cultivation. Another seed that was brought back is now ripe."

  Zhang Anshi couldn't help being surprised and said: "This spring... mature..."

  Deng Jian smiled and said, "Let's go and have a look."

  Zhang Anshi was full of curiosity, waiting for Deng Jian to come out, and Jian Ying followed.

  Zhang Anshi stopped deliberately, and glanced at Jian Ying: "How about it, are you still used to it here?"

   "Get used to it, it's just..."

   He paused.

  Zhang Anshi stared at him and said, "Speak."

  Jian Ying said: "I don't know the news about my father, after all... I don't feel at ease."

   "Your father is more comfortable than you."

   "That's good." Jian Ying smiled.

  Zhang Anshi said: "Be a good person here and keep your feet on the ground."

   "Yes." Jian Ying nodded.

  At the moment, Jian Ying led Deng Jian and Zhang Anshi to a test field.

  Looking from a distance, Zhang An Shiquan understood.

  In the distance, there is a glass house.

  The closer he got, Zhang Anshi could already feel a little hotter in this chilly spring day.

   This is someone burning the earth dragon.

   There seems to be a little bit of heat in the ground.

   But in the glass room, amidst the emerald green, pieces of golden yellow loomed.

  Zhang Anshi's eyes lit up.
