No, how could he be implicated for simply watching the fun? Yinsi and Yin? exchanged glances, each reading a message from the other's eyes: "I'd rather die than let my friend die."
"Sixth brother, I'm reporting this. This is what happened. Fourteenth brother just came over..."
At this moment, Yinzhen felt as if thunder was rolling in his head, and his whole body was struck so hard that it was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside. No, Tenth Brother, you are not a kind boy. Sixth brother asked you to report the clues, but you don't have to be so honest. Can't you simplify everything that happened just now, for example - get your ninth brother out of the picture?
Yinzuo was quite satisfied with Yinxi's ability to understand the current situation. He raised his hand, patted Yinxi's shoulder and asked him to stand aside. He turned his gaze to Yinsi who was standing beside him. Yinsi was not stupid either. As soon as he saw his sixth brother's eyes, he knew what he meant, so he hurriedly spoke.
"Sixth brother, I guarantee that everything Tenth brother said just now is true. Aside from me speaking up and trying to persuade them a few times at the end, we had no involvement in this matter from beginning to end, so..."
Yinzuo naturally understood what Yinsi had not said. He always kept his word. Since he had said that he would not be implicated if he provided clues, he would naturally keep his promise at this time. He raised his hand to signal Yinsi and Yinzuo to leave, and then he grabbed Yinsi's ear and pulled him in front of him.
"You two are almost fifty years old combined, aren't you? How can you still be so childish? You start arguing over the smallest things. Have you forgotten where you are? If Khan Ama sees this, you two will be in big trouble today. Old Nine, you've really grown up. You've even learned to frame your Sixth Brother. Am I that violent in your eyes? How can I fight and never argue? Come on, tell me, where did you hear that?"
Is there any need to listen to this? You're still holding my ears. Isn't that violent? Isn't that why you're just using violence instead of fighting? That's right, it's not that you didn't fight, you just started fighting first, then fought with us after you subdued us.
Yinzhen and Fourteen's cowardly appearance of keeping their heads down and taking the scolding without saying a word did not bring them any benefits. Seeing their honest appearance, Yinzuo scolded them a few times and then lost the desire to continue scolding them. As he said, it's New Year's Day, and it's not auspicious to beat children.
"Alright, I won't say anything more about you two during the New Year. You're all grown up now, so be more steady from now on. This doorway isn't a good place to be, so stop standing there. Fourteenth, I thought I heard Mother talking about you when I came here just now. Go over to her and see if she has anything to ask you. Little Nine, go check on Concubine Yi as well. I just saw Fifth Brother go over to her place."
The reason why Yinzuo came to the door was certainly not because he had foresight, but because the large tray he used to hold the rewards was no longer able to hold more. He came here to ask Dexi to get a plate. He had just wasted a lot of time teaching Yinlu a lesson, and he estimated that his father would return to the Qianqing Palace soon. He still had so many red envelopes to confiscate, and he couldn't waste this precious time here. He hurriedly instructed Yinlu and Fourteenth, then walked out the door.
After the Spring Festival, Yinzuo's life returned to its previous rhythm. Apart from visiting his father in the palace from time to time, he would report to the Ministry of Works every three or four days. After the first month of the lunar year, Dai Zi received good news. The mechanical wooden warehouse that Yinzuo had asked him to study before finally had some progress after all these days of research.
As soon as Yinzuo heard the news, he rushed over with his men. In the past few years, all the affairs of Dai Zi were handled by Yinzuo. After he learned that Yinzuo was coming, he brought people to wait at the door early. When he saw Yinzuo arriving, he hurried to greet him.
"Sixth brother, why did you come here in person? I was thinking of sending it back to the capital after the musket test was completed!"
Ever since Yinzuo handed the blueprint to Dai Zi, he had been looking forward to the day when it could be produced. Now that it was finally made, he couldn't wait any longer. At this moment, he just wanted to see immediately how this Qing Dynasty version of the mechanical wooden warehouse was different from those he saw on the Internet today.
Seeing Yinzuo like this, Yin? knew that he was anxious, so he didn't say too much and directly took him to the open space for the test machine wooden warehouse. At this time, several machine wooden warehouses had been set up at the edge of the open space. Judging from the appearance, they were almost the same as the drawings that Yinzuo had drawn for Dai Zi before, but he didn't know how powerful they were.
"Old minister Dai Zi greets Prince Zhao."
Dai Zi was leading his men to conduct the final inspection of the machine gun silos before the test. When he saw Yinzuo coming, he quickly put down his work and came over to pay his respects to Yinzuo. Yinzuo asked Dai Zi to stand up, then raised his hand to signal him to follow. While walking towards the place where the machine gun silos were set up, he asked Dai Zi some questions about the machine gun silos.
Yinzuo had no experience or knowledge in weapon making, so he didn't quite understand what Dai Zi said. Dai Zi certainly understood this, so he only picked up some easy-to-understand content and explained it to Yinzuo in front of the machine gun. As the saying goes, experts see the doorway, while laymen see the excitement. If Yinzuo, a layman, hadn't had Dai Zi explaining it to him, he probably wouldn't even understand the excitement. But it didn't matter. Yinzuo was not the kind of client who liked to point fingers. He only cared about whether the final product met his expectations. As for the process, he didn't want to pay too much attention to it.
What were the results of the test of the machine-wood cannon? Yinzuo said that it was only passable. The consistency of the shooting was not a problem. The problem seemed to lie in the bullet and the shooting distance. The power of the Qing Dynasty machine-wood cannon was not comparable to the modern machine-wood cannon. Yinzuo knew there would be a difference, but he obviously did not expect the difference to be so huge.
"Master Dai, in my opinion, this new musket is far from meeting expectations. There's no problem with its firing consistency, but its power and range aren't quite up to par. You're an expert in weaponry, and as an outsider, I shouldn't be so opinionated. However, I was just observing the test, and I have some thoughts I'd like to share with you..."
Yinzuo told Dai Zi all the superficial knowledge about wooden warehouse machinery that he had read on the Internet in his previous life, hoping that he could eliminate the dross from his words, extract the essence and extract useful information, so as to make what he wanted as soon as possible. However, Yinzuo also knew that invention and creation are never something that can be done overnight, so he encouraged Dai Zi a few more words and left with his men.
"Sixth Brother, I think that musket was quite powerful and had a long range. Why do you seem so dissatisfied?"
Upon hearing this, Yin Zuo glanced at Yin Xi, who was riding alongside him, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer his question. Yin Xi was right. Compared to today's fire muskets, the mechanical wooden cannon Dai Zi had made was indeed much more powerful. He shouldn't have been so picky, but the problem was that he had seen better ones...
