    "Back to your majesty, I know about flintlock guns. I saw them used by the Frankies when I was in Macau. They are much more advanced than our Ming Dynasty shotguns. They are incomparable in terms of rate of fire and range." Xu Guangqi did not expect Emperor Tianqi to use them.  I also have an understanding of firearms, so that I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort when doing things in the future.  "Xu Aiqing, after the firearms factory is established, you will make this kind of flintlock gun for me. Not only must you learn from the Frankies, but you must also improve it and strive to make a better gun." Emperor Tianqi still knew that the Eight Banners disciples  At this time, the Ming army was weak, and trying to defeat Hou Jin's Eight Banners disciples with swords was tantamount to wishful thinking.  But if it is possible to build an army in the modern sense, that would be another matter.  "I obey the order." Although Emperor Tianqi seemed to have interfered a little too much, Xu Guangqi could understand the anxiety in Emperor Guangqi's heart. Was he wrong?  After pondering for a moment, he added: "Your Majesty, making firearms requires a lot of things, and most of them are things that the imperial court prohibits private sales. If your Majesty wants to make them quietly, what will happen to these things?" "There will never be anything in this world.  There is no shortage of courageous people. Ai Qing may not know how many private mining companies there are in the southeast. The imperial court does not produce as much salt and iron as they do every year. They sell a lot of salt and iron to the grasslands. These people are very courageous.  Big ones, just buy some." Emperor Tianqi's tone was very casual at this time. Many people knew these things. Maybe everyone in the world was hiding it from the emperor!  As expected, when Emperor Tianqi said this, the expressions of Luo Sigong and Wei Chao changed, and they looked at each other with horror in each other's eyes.  Only then did they realize that the Emperor Apocalypse in front of them really knew everything, and they were even more afraid of Emperor Apocalypse.  "Eunuch Wei, I'll leave this matter to you! I think with Dongchang's ability, there is no problem in doing such a thing, and it will definitely be unnoticed." Emperor Tianqi cast his eyes on the Wei Dynasty behind him.  On the body, it is obviously best to leave such private work to him.  "I have written it down. Since His Majesty said it is no problem, then of course it will be no problem." The Wei Dynasty really had such connections. There were many eunuchs guarding the southeast. The Wei Dynasty had received filial money from these people in the past few days.  For the newly appointed eunuch of the East Factory, these eunuchs outside will naturally have to curry favor with him, and it is not easy to get these things.  "From now on, you must obey Mr. Xu's instructions. No matter what he wants, you will get it for him, even if it is a human being. I will also give you money for the things I asked you to buy, but the money is  Is this the price for the money in my inner treasury?" Emperor Tianqi looked at the Wei Dynasty more meaningfully at this time. His role as Emperor Tianqi during this period was naturally clear.  Maybe he didn't want to hide it from Emperor Tianqi at all. Maybe this was the unspoken rule of the Ming Dynasty for a long time!  "Your Majesty, don't worry. How dare I let your Majesty spend money? Someone will naturally pay for this money." In the eyes of the Wei Dynasty, isn't it easy to get something from those local tyrants and rich gentry?  "That's not necessary. You just need to lower the price. In addition, it's best to stop them from doing business with people outside the Great Wall. You have people buy all those things." Now Emperor Tianqi can only use this method  Block this line, otherwise these people will smuggle such pig iron, copper, salt, and grain into Hou Jin's hands, and things will become more and more troublesome.  This kind of thing happened in history, and the strength of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not unrelated to this.  The breeze is blowing softly, the moon is bright, the lights of the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty are already flickering, the figures are flashing, and the huge palace seems extremely lively.  Emperor Tianqi, who had worked hard all day, could not take a rest after returning to the palace because there was a family banquet held in the palace.  Although Emperor Tianqi was reluctant to be called to Cining Palace, there was nothing he could do now. He must have enough respect for his nominal mother, Emperor Tianqi.  In fact, in retrospect, what I had done was too much. The concubine of Emperor Taichang, the empress dowager at this time, was okay with Emperor Tianqi.  But since he was canonized as the empress dowager, Emperor Tianqi rarely came over, let alone greeting her three times a day.  Emperor Tianqi should have been well prepared for this family banquet, but he felt very tired after spending a day discussing firearms with Xu Guangqi at Huangzhuang.  But he had to work up his energy and came to Cining Palace. Looking at Concubine Zhao sitting there, Emperor Tianqi saluted respectfully: "I have seen my mother. I have neglected my mother during this period. I hope my mother will forgive me."  "What are you saying? The queen is happy that you are an emperor who is diligent and loves the people. How can I blame you?" Concubine Zhao still has a good impression of Emperor Tianqi. If it weren't for this child's success, I'm afraid she would.  I don¡¯t know where I went, how can I be the current empress dowager!  Besides, I only have one daughter. If I have such a son, I will naturally raise him as my own son.  "Quick"The emperor's son came to his mother's side.  "Emperor Tianqi could naturally hear Concubine Zhao's concern for him. At this time, he felt that his lonely heart seemed to have received a little comfort, and his tired body seemed to feel a little more relaxed. Without saying a word, Emperor Tianqi obediently did what Concubine Zhao said.  Listening to her constantly talking about the past, Emperor Tianqi felt a little warm in his heart. At this time, Emperor Tianqi seemed to have gradually let go of everything in the past. He was really Emperor Tianqi as he chatted with Concubine Zhao.  It was already served. After drinking some wine, Emperor Tianqi didn¡¯t remember anything. Looking at Emperor Tianqi who was sleeping, Concubine Zhao felt very distressed. She touched Emperor Tianqi¡¯s hair and said slowly:  "It seems that the emperor has worked very hard, why is he so tired?  "As he said this, he saw Chen Hong coming with Emperor Tianqi, and asked: "What did you do with the emperor today?  Why are you so tired?  " Hearing the Queen Mother's question, Chen Hong was slightly startled but did not dare to tell the truth. Emperor Tianqi attached great importance to that matter. If the news leaked from him, I am afraid he would definitely lose his head. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Don't dare to deceive.  Queen Mother, Your Majesty once said that no slave is allowed to say anything no matter what it is, so slave.  " Before Chen Hong finished speaking, Concubine Zhao understood. She nodded lightly and said, "The Ai family understands that if the king is not secretive, then the minister will be ruined, and if the minister is not secretive, the minister will be corrupted.  The emperor did the right thing and you did the right thing.  Go down!  The emperor stayed here today.  ¡± Today¡¯s first chapter, please collect and recommend!
