The shadow guard did not stay in the palace for too long.
After handing Emperor Wen's secret letter to Yun Zheng, the shadow guard left quickly.
When Chen Luoyan and the others found Yun Zheng, Yun Zheng was reading the secret letter from Emperor Wen.
There was still a hint of sneer on his face.
Seeing Yun Zheng's expression, the three women felt relieved.
It seems that it shouldn't be a bad thing.
At least, it's not a big bad thing.
"Who sent the letter?"
Shen Luoyan stepped forward and asked.
"Let's go, let's talk in the room."
...
...
Yun Zheng smiled, stood up and walked into the room with the three women.
After entering the room, Yun Zheng handed the secret letter from Emperor Wen to the three of them for them to circulate.
The three women gathered together and examined it carefully.
When they saw the contents of the letter, they were filled with anger.
But besides being angry, it was also a little funny.
"Yun Li, this idiot, wants to murder you?"
Shen Luoyan had a look of disdain on her face and said all the words she had picked up from Yun Zheng.
While Yun Li was making careful plans, Emperor Wen secretly sent someone to inform Yun Zheng.
Yun Li doesn't even realize that he has been abandoned and is still feeling good about himself!
"Don't say that about the Third Brother. He's a good guy!"
Yun Zheng smiled and patted Shen Luoyan's buttocks gently.
Shen Luoyan patted Yun Zheng's paw shyly and said speechlessly: "He is the only good person?"
"Why not a good person?"
Yun Zheng's smile was particularly bright. "The third brother came all the way here to give us a warhorse! If anyone says that the third brother is not a good person, I will be angry with him!"
Send a war horse?
The three girls were stunned for a moment, and then they all started giggling.
If that’s the case, Yun Li is really a good person!
Although Shuobei already has a lot of war horses, no one complains about having too many war horses!
"That being said, you should still be careful!"
Ye Zi smiled faintly and said, "It would be best if we could defeat those 10,000 cavalry without bloodshed. Father certainly doesn't want to see his own cavalry killing each other."
“That’s for sure!”
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled, "Not only do we have to capture those 10,000 cavalrymen, we also have to capture Fuzhou!"
"Fuzhou?"
The three women screamed at the same time and looked at Yun Zheng in astonishment.
He wants to use this as an excuse to take over Fuzhou?
"This matter... can the emperor agree?"
Ye Zi was a little worried.
Originally, the relationship between Yun Zheng and Emperor Wen was quite harmonious, with a sense of loving father and filial son.
If Yun Zheng had any intentions towards Fuzhou, it would be hard to say whether this harmony would be destroyed.
“Try it!”
Yun Zheng was not very sure in his heart. "I need to set up a frontier point inside the pass to facilitate the acquisition of supplies from inside the pass! In addition, the land inside the pass can also produce more food, and some people can be relocated from Fuzhou to the Northwest Protectorate to strengthen the control of the Northwest Protectorate! When necessary, we can also send troops directly from Fuzhou and approach the tribes in the west of the desert through Liangzhou..."
There will definitely be many benefits to taking over Fuzhou.
However, taking Fuzhou will also face many problems.
But problems can be solved slowly, but benefits don't come overnight.
Listening to Yun Zheng's analysis, the three women also began to think silently.
"Since you want to try, then give it a try!"
Shen Luoyan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "If you really take Fuzhou, Yun Li will probably not be able to sleep well all day long!"
Yun Zheng nodded and smiled.
Yun Li wanted to walk into the muzzle of the gun, so he couldn't blame himself!
It just so happens that I still have a lot of things to discuss with Yun Li slowly!
…
Yun Zheng and the others were not affected by Yun Li's attempt to murder Yun Zheng.
Not to mention that Yun Zheng now knows Yun Li's intention, even if Yun Zheng didn't know, based on the troops Yun Zheng originally planned to bring, Yun Li would not be able to touch Yun Zheng.
Before we know it, the end of the year is approaching.
The palace was becoming increasingly busy.
However, the busyness of the palace had nothing to do with Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng was still immersed in the land of gentleness every day, and would go to the firearms workshop for a stroll every now and then.
Today, the size of the firearms workshop has expanded by nearly half.
There are also more apprentices inside.
With everyone's efforts, Yun Zheng finally made two decent bird guns that he had been dreaming of.
But, there are only two.
One long and one short.
The short one is of good quality.
But the quality of the longer one is just so-so.
But this is good news after all.
With the finished product, at least the entire production process is clear.
What we need to do next is to optimize the process and production technology and gradually increase production capacity.
Yun Zheng wanted to make a simple turning machine using a water wheel and several sets of gears, but he had not yet solved the problem of the drill bit. Without a good drill bit, the turning machine tool would not be of much use even if it was made.
Moreover, there is no water source here to drive the waterwheel.
If they want to make a machine tool driven by a water wheel, this firearms workshop must be relocated.
Let’s take it step by step!
Yun Zheng secretly comforted himself in his heart and began to miss Zhang Xu again.
If Zhang Xu, a hands-on expert, were here, this waterwheel machine should be ready quickly.
Although this thing is not even worthy of carrying shoes for the high-tech machine tools in the previous life, it is still better than manual labor and has much higher precision.
Yun Zheng thought about it for a while and stopped everyone in the firearms workshop.
"The New Year is coming the day after tomorrow. I have already ordered people to bring your families to the compound outside the mountain. I have also prepared a small gift for you. After receiving it, go back and reunite with your families!"
Yun Zheng gathered everyone together and ordered, "As for the rules, everyone knows them, so I won't say more! If anyone breaks the rules, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The most important rule of the firearms workshop is confidentiality.
Not even to their wives and children were they allowed to reveal anything about the firearms workshop.
Their families are all in a newly built compound outside the mountain. They can reunite, but they cannot leave the compound. Everyone, including their families, will be under strict guard.
Anyone who breaks the rules will be executed along with his entire family, regardless of the reason.
Yun Zheng gave them the highest pay and the best treatment, not to let them leak secrets.
"I will keep this in mind!"
Everyone spoke at once.
"Okay, go get your gifts!"
Yun Zheng waved his hand, "Also, although we may be reunited, it's best not to drink! There isn't even a drop of alcohol in the gift I prepared for you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone bowed and ran to receive the gifts with great anticipation.
The chef gave each person two taels of silver and ten kilograms of mutton.
Apprenticeships are halved.
There is no other workshop in the entire Shuobei that offers such treatment.
After everyone received their gifts and left, the door of the workshop was shut tightly and locked with a huge iron chain, and hundreds of sharp soldiers were guarding it.
Just as Yun Zheng was walking back with dozens of guards, a horse galloped over.
"Your Highness, Madam Jiayao has already arrived in Dingbei. The princess ordered me to come and report."
Jiayao?
Yun Zheng looked surprised.
Jiayao actually arrived in Dingbei ahead of time?
Is this woman running so fast?
Could it be that she came to Dingbei from Guifang alone?
