Qing Dynasty: After reading my heart, Kangxi and the Nine Dragons are united

Chapter 398: The sons are the first year, the old man dares to be the fifth year

"What the hell?"

Yin Xuan was completely stunned: "You, you are lying, right? How long has it been since I last did new research with you guys? How is it possible..."

[It’s unprecedented to tinker with a steam engine in such a short time, let alone an internal combustion engine?]

[No way?]

[Even if it was Edison of the East and his like-minded partners, they couldn’t produce results so quickly!]

Yinxuan was filled with shock and could hardly believe it.

Huang Luzhuang bowed in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "My brother should know that I never lie in this regard."

Uh……

So is it true?

Yinxuan was so happy that he jumped up and ran away grabbing Huang Luzhuang.

He completely forgot that he was in the court.

Huang Luzhuang hesitated when he saw this, but when he looked up he saw the emperor's encouraging eyes.

So what's there to hesitate about?

My beloved disciple has been busy with repetitive mechanical work in the past few months and has missed countless lessons in instrument making.

Now that he has fallen into the trap himself, what else is there to say?

You must accept it with a smile.

Seeing the little one being kidnapped, Kangxi hurriedly ordered the ninety-two princes to set off immediately.

We must set off before the Eighteenth Prince has time to spare, otherwise...

Without waiting for him to finish his threat, the ninety-two men knelt down and said, "Don't worry, Khan Amar, your son can't wait any longer. We will take our leave and go to sea immediately."

The two brothers emphasized the word "obey orders" very seriously.

Aims to express one's helplessness.

They were afraid that their eighteenth brother would come back and find the house empty, and then he would hate them both.

Kangxi, who had the final say in interpreting the matter, smiled and told them to take good care of themselves.

While working hard, you should also pay attention to your health.

It's also a story of loving father and filial son.

but……

They were happy, and the Eighth Prince was annoyed.

If the Ninth and Tenth Brothers take the opportunity to slip away, when that little ancestor comes to his senses, won’t they concentrate all their firepower on him?

Thinking about the miserable fate of his tenth brother a while ago, the eighth prince began to tremble.

He was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and said that he was also very interested in maritime trade and was willing to do his part for the Qing Dynasty in this regard.

The court officials who were listening were all confused: What?

Is this because the Ninth Prince had such great success in maritime trade last time that he was directly promoted to Prince, making the other princes jealous?

Therefore, everyone gave up enjoying the prosperity of the capital and instead joined the fleet.

Using a butcher knife to kill a chicken, and using so many butcher knives at that.

The emperor won’t agree, right?

But just the opposite.

Kangxi did not even hesitate and readily agreed: "Hahaha, I was worried that the ninth brother was good at business tactics and was somewhat peaceful. The tenth brother was reckless and would not care about anything. It always felt like something was missing when the two brothers were together. If you go with me, I would feel more at ease."

The Eighth Prince smiled and said, "I will not fail you."

"Good good."

Kangxi was very happy, as if he had picked up a great bargain.

The court officials were even more confused: It was just maritime trade, why would the emperor take it so seriously?

When they made a fortune from a country in the name of business, the ministers suddenly realized that the island of Tamra was not only a transit point, but also a breakthrough point.

The ninety-two princes may have no pressure in engaging in maritime trade, but they lack experience in dealing with rebellious enemies.

The Eighth Prince is strong in this area.

Of course, these are all later stories, let’s not talk about them for now.

Now let’s say that Yinxuan was dragged away by Huang Luzhuang to see the newly developed internal combustion engine. Eighty to ninety-three princes fled the capital in a small entourage.

Before leaving, these three mischievous guys left letters for Yinzhen.

He asked someone to send it in the evening at the earliest, which expressed his helplessness and regret for not being able to set sail with his eighteenth brother.

Secretly, well, that sentence "The emperor's order cannot be disobeyed" has clearly put the blame on Kangxi.

Unfortunately, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

Without exception, all three letters were intercepted by Kangxi's secret guards. Then the sons celebrated the first day of the lunar month while the old man celebrated the fifteenth day of the lunar month.

He directly ordered someone who was good at imitating handwriting to imitate the handwriting of these three things and leave a letter for Yinzhen.

The Ninth Prince wrote in the letter: I am not unwilling to set sail with my Eighteenth Brother, but official duties are important and I cannot spare more time to take care of the children.

Eighth Prince, the sea is stormy and the waves are high, and I am doing this for your own good.

When it comes to the Tenth Prince, it's really amazing: Haha. You made me so miserable, and you still want me to take you out to play, what are you thinking? Just wait! When I come back, if you call me Tenth Brother in a friendly way, I will tell you about the scenery along the way.

Otherwise I won't tell you anything, and I'll run away again next time without taking you with me~

It is very much in line with the style of the Tenth Prince and is also very provocative.

When the prince saw this, he couldn't help but light a row of candles for his younger brothers.

Khan Ama is really cruel.

Kangxi snorted coldly: "Only the county officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps? That doesn't make sense! Since they are not afraid to trick me, the Khan, I don't mind taking some revenge."

"Baocheng, are you going to tell on me with that expression?"

No, no.

The prince shook his head like a rattle: "How could that be? My son is naturally on the same side as Khan Ama."

"I knew you were a good person."

The father and son smiled at each other, their smiles full of the cunning of "I would rather die than let my friend die".

It's clear that he is trying to divert the blame.

How could Yinzhen have known that the relationship between father and son could be so treacherous?

He now bowed down to his own Mr. Huang: "This, this is too amazing, isn't it? This is more than just a great improvement? This is clearly only a few steps away from success. Blame me for being short-sighted and misjudging your ability. I thought you..."

Huang Luzhuang reiterated: "Brother, you should know that I never..."

"Yes, yes, you never lie about professional matters. Isn't it because I am too shocked by your ability? In the art of making instruments, you are absolutely the best in ancient and modern times, and you are the best in China and abroad."

Yinxuan raised his thumbs high, his admiration in his heart overwhelming.

After a good while of flattering, it was customary to ask father Kangxi for credit and reward on behalf of the meritorious officials, and to ensure that no talented person would be treated unfairly.

Huang Luzhuang was indifferent to this performance and just asked his good apprentice to be gentle in recruiting talents.

He didn't mind serving the court and making contributions to it.

but……

Once you come up with a good product, you can assign a few people to specifically manufacture and mass-produce it.

New products come out one after another, and people leave one after another. Our huge yard is almost being plucked out by you!

Hey.

Yinzhen smiled apologetically and said that he would definitely intensify the training.

Ensure that the institute is refilled with a large number of talents in the shortest possible time.

If it can’t be completed…

Yin Xuan skillfully used the magic of money: "If you fail to complete it, I will pay 100,000 taels of silver out of my own pocket to be used for the expansion of your courtyard and the training of talents."

Huang Luzhuang, who often had sufficient funds because of his increasingly unconventional research, did not nod immediately this time: "One hundred thousand taels is not enough, we need to add more money. Money is not valuable now, we need to add at least ten thousand taels to be comparable to the one hundred taels two or three years ago."

Eh?

Money is worthless?

Not worth the money!!!

In a flash, something flooded into Yinxuan's mind.
