"There has been little progress. What we have produced cannot be sent to large ships for use." Ying Shu curled his lips. The court had spent a lot of effort to research these things.

How could they easily copy it? Even if they did, the materials they used would not be up to standard.

The imperial court controls more advanced technology, and they still have a long way to go if they want to overcome these difficulties.

"If you transfer some more money, I don't believe that we can't figure it out." A cruel look flashed in Ying Yuan's eyes.

In the past, he would not spend his money on these things.

Since Zhao Qingrui came to power, he has vigorously developed science and technology. The status of the craftsmen who were once looked down upon by them has instantly increased countless times.

They also realized the importance of technology. Although the development is a little slow now, it is not too late. There are still many powerful craftsmen in Daqin.

As long as you pay money, you can recruit some great craftsmen.

And he is not short of money.

He has gathered a lot of craftsmen under his name and formed two research teams, one team to study steam engines and the other team to study bird guns and other powerful weapons.

He had been coveting the bird gun for a long time. When such a thing appeared on the battlefield, it could directly change the balance of victory.

It’s a pity that the imperial court has extremely strict control over this technology, and no relevant technology has been leaked outside.

He also sent a lot of people to investigate, but unfortunately the place was heavily guarded and his people were captured before they could get close.

He also thought about arranging his own people to enter, but unfortunately, the identity verification here is more stringent. Once there is a slight problem, they will be eliminated directly. It is almost impossible to get in.

"Brother, you have invested so much money in it, but there has not been much progress. This money can be used to do more other things." Ying Shu looked at Ying Yuan speechlessly. These things were too difficult.

Instead of struggling here myself, it would be better to find a way to get the technology from other places, which would save time and effort.

"Idiot, we can only have enough advantages if the technology is in our own hands." Ying Yuan cursed. If they hadn't grown up together and Ying Shu was not obedient, he would have kicked him out.

What he needed was for his subordinates to be able to research technology that surpassed the imperial court and control such technology in his own hands so that he could have a greater advantage.

Instead of picking up what the court left over, he always repeated what others had said.

From Zhao Qingrui's vigorous development of the Ministry of Industry, he understood the importance of technology better than anyone else.

Although he is a prince now, Zhao Qingrui has never been at ease with him. He needs to have enough power to protect himself.

Ying Shu looked at Ying Yuan aggrievedly. Why did his elder brother always scold him?

He was right. It would cost too much for them to do it themselves. Every time he saw Ying Yuan transferring the money, he was terrified.

"By the way, have the people sent to the Maurya Empire returned?" Ying Yuan didn't want to talk about this anymore and asked about other things.

"The news that has been sent back is that it will be back around tomorrow afternoon." Ying Shu reported seriously.

"Notify me immediately when they return."

With the arrival of the autumn harvest, Zhao Qingrui became even busier, and various taxes were continuously sent to the national treasury.

At this time, it was also Shang Lian's wedding day.

Although she was just doing a simple thing, Zhao Qingrui still prepared a generous amount of makeup for her.

"Your Majesty, isn't this too much?" Shang Lian hesitated as he looked at the boxes of various jewels and several sets of beautiful clothes.

"Not much, not much. There are too many things in my warehouse and I have no place to spend them." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.

Zhao Qingrui is very wealthy thanks to the wealth he has accumulated over the years.

"Your Majesty should leave these things to the future crown prince." Shang Lian said seriously.

Although Zhao Qingrui told them that they would choose an heir from among the royal family, they still agreed that Zhao Qingrui's children would be the crown prince.

"Let's talk about it later. Maybe I'll be richer in the future." Zhao Qingrui said indifferently. She also knew what Shang Lian and the others meant.

They were brought up by her, and they will only be loyal to her. If other members of the royal family came up, they would definitely be the first to be liquidated, because they are her confidants, and she would not feel safe using them.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qingrui felt a little worried.

Having been on the throne for several years, she knew better than anyone that although this position was very high, it was really tiring. She still hoped that her child could have an easier life.

This job is thankless, it's better to give it to someone else.

It's too early to say that now, she's still single.

After seeing Shang Lian off, Zhao Qingrui put away the envy in her eyes. There were so many things going on in the court that she couldn't afford to indulge in romantic affairs here.

On the other side, Ying Zheng was also very worried because someone else wanted to send a man to his daughter.

He even went to take a look. Those guys looked pretty good, and there were all kinds of handsome guys. After looking around, he wanted to send all of them to his daughter's harem.

When Zhao Qingrui came over, he saw Ying Zheng still feeling melancholy.

"What are you thinking about, father? You are so absent-minded that you can see it even when I come over." Zhao Qingrui pouting and sat opposite Ying Zheng.

"Isn't it because I'm thinking about you? I thought that if you gave birth to a child earlier, I would let you raise him and guarantee to train him into the best heir." Ying Zheng rolled his eyes at Zhao Qingrui.

"If Your Majesty is short of grandchildren, my brothers and sisters have plenty of children. Just say the word and they will send their children to you." Zhao Qingrui said speechlessly. Can't Your Majesty think of something useful every day?
