"嘘嘚~嘚嘚~" A sound of horse hoofbeats came from not far away from the palace.
"Hey, look, this little donkey is running very fast." The servant watching the door said as he looked at the galloping pony, and several other people also looked over after hearing this.
As the pony ran closer and closer, a man saw clearly the man on the horse and shouted: "It's the young prince."
"Stop Rocket." Zhu Muchen pulled the mane from the pony's neck and shouted when he arrived in front of the palace.
The pony made a sound of "Ouch~", raised its two front legs forward, and stopped in front of the palace gate. Not long after the pony stopped, a gray horse chased after it.
Pang Man tugged on the horse's rope and shouted: "Hello~". Because the horse was running too fast, it stopped after a few meters of buffering, and then slowly stopped in front of the palace gate.
Pang Man jumped off the horse and looked at the pony with a smile and said: "I didn't expect this pony to run so fast." No one had ever paid attention to this little pony. In addition to putting some fodder for it, he almost didn't do anything.
Who cares, what Pang Man was riding just now was considered a fine horse, but it failed to catch up with the little pony. Pang Man looked at the pony in front of him in disbelief.
Zhu Muchen put one hand around Rocket's neck, touched its head and said, "Rocket, you are so awesome, you are worthy of the name I gave you."
"Take good care of my rocket." Zhu Muchen said to several servants guarding the door.
After hearing this, several people raised their hands and said, "Yes, young prince." Then two men led Rocket and a gray horse towards the stable.
Zhu Muchen stopped at a pavilion in the garden, then sat on a small stone pier and said with a smile: "Uncle Pang Man, please sit down."
Pang Man bowed his hands and said, "Thank you, young prince." Then he sat next to Zhu Muchen.
Zhu Muchen wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "How much money does the supermarket make now?"
Pang Man responded: "Back to the young prince, there are about 20,000 taels, most of which are earned from lottery tickets from the three places." The lottery tickets from these three places are becoming more and more popular in Wuchang City, and the current sales volume is more than
When we first started selling it, it more than doubled.
"You exchange the copper coins for ingots, and then take some people with you to Peiping to help me find some good places to buy some shops, buildings, and farmland, and buy them all with the money." Zhu Muchen said.
Pang Man heard this and asked in confusion: "Little Prince, why are you doing this?"
Zhu Muchen thought for a moment and said, "You don't understand even after I told you. Just do as I say. Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Pang Man." He didn't know how to explain it to him. He couldn't say that Zhu Di would move the capital to Peking. That will be there in the future.
The buildings and farmland in Beijing and Peking are all very valuable for investment, right?
Upon hearing this, Pang Man stood up and saluted with his hands in his hands and said: "I'll do my humble job now." Then he turned around and left in a hurry.
Today there were bursts of "creak~crack~" sounds in the palace, and cartloads of copper coins were shipped out of the palace. It did not gradually stop until the evening.
Time flies by very fast. In the past two months, Bai Xiaoman and Shang Ziyou have been studying women's virtues from the princess. Zhu Muchen concentrates on drawing the red cannon every day, and occasionally rides a rocket to the supermarket.
There was a "swish, swish, swish" sound in the yard, and Zhu Muchen was giving Rocket a bath with a bundle of straw in his hand.
"My young prince, some foreigners came outside the palace and said they were bringing you something." Suddenly a servant walked into the courtyard to report.
When Zhu Muchen heard this, he murmured excitedly: "Is it Posesimilu?", then put down the straw in his hand and said: "Let them come in, I will be there in a minute." After saying that, he lifted a wooden barrel on the ground, and
The bucket of water was poured on Rocket's body, then he patted Rocket's horse's butt and shouted: "Let's go play." Rocket was not tied to the stable at ordinary times, but ran around in the palace all day long. Zhu Muchen treated it as a pet.
He is also very lovingly raised.
Seeing Zhu Muchen, Bo Saiximilu said with a Western courtesy: "Hello, my dear prince."
"Mr. Similu, how are you? I've waited for you." Zhu Muchen said with a smile.
Bosei Ximilu opened a box and took out a long fire gun and said: "Your Majesty, please see, this time I brought a ignition-free fire gun. This is a new type of fire gun that our Kingdom of the Netherlands has just completed and improved."
pistol."
No need to light a fire? Hearing this, Zhu Muchen excitedly took the fire gun and looked it over, and then said: "Let's go and try it."
For the past two months, Aji and Sihu have been practicing firecrackers in the palace, and an open space in the back garden has been turned into a shooting range.
"You don't need to ignite this. Just load the ammunition, press the hammer, aim and pull the trigger. Try it." Zhu Muchen handed the blunderbuss to Aji and said.
Bosai Ximilu, who was about to introduce how to use it, was a little confused. She looked at Zhu Muchen in surprise. This was the latest fire gun he brought. Why did Zhu Muchen understand it so well?
Aji quickly loaded the ammunition, pressed the hammer on the end of the gun with his thumb, then raised the gun and aimed at a target in front, then pulled the trigger, and with a "boom~" sound, he accurately hit the target.
The position of the bull's-eye.
"Little prince, this fire gun is so useful." Aji said with joy on his face.
Bosei Ximilu looked a little strange. He didn't expect that the people of the Ming Dynasty were so good at using firecrackers, and they also knew firecrackers quite well. This was obviously a newly developed firearm in his country. Why did the people of the Ming Dynasty understand it so well? In his heart
There is a big question mark.
"Okay, not bad." Zhu Muchen gave a thumbs up and smiled.
Posthumous Milu touched the golden beard on her mouth and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this gun is more expensive than the previous ignition type. I brought three hundred guns and fifty boxes of gunpowder this time."
"How much does this shot cost?" Zhu Muchen asked, looking at the gun in his hand.
Poseidon smiled and said: "Two hundred taels of silver per rod, 50 taels of gunpowder per box, a total of sixty-two thousand five hundred taels of silver."
When Zhu Muchen heard this, he couldn't help but sigh that this arms business has been a big business since ancient times. These 62,500 taels are equivalent to 18.75 million soft sister coins. He just bought 300 fire guns, and now he has the forbidden money in his hand.
There are more than 10,000 people in the Guards. How much would it cost to replace them all with fire guns? No matter how much money I make from the Three Land Prizes, I can't afford to do this!
Zhu Muchen pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Better discount."
"Dear Sir, this is already the best price. We have traveled thousands of miles across the ocean and endured huge risks." Bosei Ximilu said with a troubled face.
Zhu Muchen smiled and patted Bosesimilu's shoulder and said: "How about I give you all 60,000 taels? If you agree, I am buying 700 fire blunderbuss and 1,000 boxes of gunpowder. If you don't agree, then give up. I
After buying these, we can go our separate ways."
Bosei Ximilu suddenly felt a little embarrassed. The lack of two thousand five hundred taels was not a small amount, but if he did not agree to the subsequent transaction, it would be gone. If he agreed to the fifty boxes of gunpowder, it would be equivalent to giving it to Zhu Muchen for free.
"Okay, Your Majesty, I agree." Bosei Ximilu hesitated and finally agreed. His country was in short supply of supplies. He was in urgent need of money to buy supplies in the Ming Dynasty and return to the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Now many Western countries
They didn't live very well in the civil war.
Zhu Muchen smiled and shook hands with Bo Saiximilu, then turned around and ordered: "Dahu, take Mr. Similu to the warehouse to move the silver."
Zhang Dahu cupped his hands and responded: "Yes, young prince." Then he stretched out his hand in a direction and said: "Please, Mr. Similu."
Bo Saixi Milu bowed and said a Western courtesy to Zhu Muchen: "Thank you, your respected prince, may the Lord bless you, Amen." Then she waved and led a dozen Westerners to follow Zhang Dahu to move the silver.
Already.
After Posesimilu left, Zhu Muchen said: "Aji went to find some people to move these blunderbuss and gunpowder to the imperial guard camp." Then he turned sideways and said: "Two tigers, three tigers, and little tigers, you follow me.
The imperial guard camp selected three hundred guards to come out to practice fire cannons."
When the three heard this, they cupped their hands and said, "Yes, young prince."
"Rocket." Zhu Muchen shouted, and then said to the people behind him: "You go and lead the horses. I will take a step first and you can follow." After hearing this, the people hurried to the stables. Now there is no one in Wuchang City.
People don't know that Zhu Muchen's little pony is very fast and has very strong endurance. In the past two months, Zhu Muchen has been riding it all over Wuchang City.
"嘘嘚~嘚嘚~嘘嘚~" The sound of horse hooves was heard not far away, and the rocket came flying. After a while, it arrived in front of Zhu Muchen, with a "hissing~" sound coming out of his mouth.
Zhu Muchen stepped on Rocket's back, held the horse rope tightly, then patted Rocket's neck and said: "Let's go, Rocket."
Rocket made a sound of "Ouch~~", then raised his two front legs and swung them back and forth. His hind legs suddenly exerted force and flew towards the gate of the palace.
