Chapter 709 Gayao Arrives

The Shadow Guard did not stay too long in the palace.

After handing Emperor Wen's secret message to Yun Zheng, the shadow guard quickly left.

When Shen Luoyan and the others found Yun Zheng, Yun Zheng was reading Emperor Wen's secret letter.

There was a bit of sneer on his face.

Seeing Yun Zheng's face, the three women felt a little relieved.

From the looks of it, it shouldn't be a bad thing.

At least, it's not a big bad thing.

"Who sent the letter?"

Shen Luoyan stepped forward to ask.

"Let's go and talk in the room."

Yun Zheng smiled, got up and walked into the room with the three girls.

Arriving in the room, Yun Zheng handed Emperor Wen's secret letter to the three of them for circulation.

The three women gathered around and examined it carefully.

When they saw the contents of the letter, they felt extremely angry.

But besides being angry, it was also a little funny.

"Is Yun Li, a fool like you, still trying to kill you?"

Shen Luoyan looked disdainful and said all the words he picked up from Yun Zheng.

Yun Li planned carefully there, and Emperor Wen secretly sent someone to inform Yun Zheng.

Yun Li still doesn't know that he has become an outcast, but he is still feeling good about himself!

"Don't say that to the third child, the third child is a good person!"

With a smile on his face, Yun Zheng patted Shen Luoyan's buttocks again.

Shen Luoyan shyly patted Yun Zheng's paw and said speechlessly: "Is he the only one who's a good person?"

"Why aren't you a good person?"

The smile on Yunzheng's face was particularly bright, "This is so far away, and the third child came here to deliver war horses to us! Who can say that the third child is not a good person? Who am I to worry about!"

Send war horses?

The three women were suddenly startled, and then they all laughed coquettishly.

If you want to put it this way, Yun Li is really a good person!

Although Shuobei now has a lot of war horses, no one thinks there are too many war horses!

"That being said, you'd better be careful!"

Ye Zi smiled slightly and said: "It would be best to capture those 10,000 cavalry without any bloodshed. My father definitely doesn't want to see Da Gan's own cavalry killing each other."

"That's for sure!"

Yunzheng nodded and smiled, "We not only want to capture those 10,000 cavalry, but we also want to capture Fuzhou!"

"Fuzhou?"

The three women screamed at the same time and looked at Yun Zheng in astonishment.

Does he want to use this matter as an excuse to capture Fuzhou?

"This matter...can my father agree?"

Ye Zi was a little worried.

Originally, the relationship between Yunzheng and Emperor Wen was quite harmonious, and they were quite affectionate as a father and a filial son.

If Yun Zheng touches Fuzhou's mind, I don't know if it will destroy this harmony.

"Try it!"

Yun Zheng was not very confident, "I need to set up a frontier point in the pass to facilitate better access to materials from the pass! In addition, the land in the pass can also produce more food, and some can be moved from Fuzhou Send the population to the Northwest Protectorate and strengthen the control of the Northwest Protectorate! When necessary, we can also send troops directly from Fuzhou and invade the Moxi tribes via Liangzhou..."

Taking Fuzhou will definitely have many benefits.

However, taking Fuzhou will also face many problems.

But the problem can be solved slowly, but the benefits do not come instantly.

Listening to Yunzheng's analysis, the three women also began to think silently.

"Since you want to try it, then give it a try!"

Shen Luoyan pursed her thin lips and said with a smile: "If you really capture Fuzhou, Yun Li will probably not be able to sleep well all day long!"

Yunzheng nodded and smiled.

If Yun Li wants to hit the muzzle of the gun, then he has no one to blame!

Fortunately, I still have many things to discuss with Yun Li slowly!

……

Yun Zheng and the others were not affected by Yun Li's plan to murder Yun Zheng.

Not to mention that Yun Zheng now knows Yun Li's intentions. Even if Yun Zheng doesn't know, Yun Li can't even think of touching Yun Zheng based on the troops and horses that Yun Zheng originally planned to bring.

Before you know it, the New Year is coming soon.

The whole palace was getting busier and busier.

However, the busyness of the palace has nothing to do with Yun Zheng.

Yunzheng is still immersed in the gentle countryside every day, and he goes to the firearms workshop every once in a while.

Today, the size of the firearms workshop has expanded by nearly half.

There are more apprentices inside.

With everyone's efforts, Yun Zheng finally managed to produce two decent blunderbuss.

But, there are only two.

One long and one short.

The short one is of good quality.

But the quality of the long one can only be said to be so-so.

However, this is good news after all.

With the finished product, at least the entire production process is clear.

The next thing to do is to optimize the process and production technology and gradually increase production capacity.

Yunzheng wants to make a simple turning machine tool using a water wheel and multiple sets of gears, but the problem of drill bits has not yet been solved. Without a good drill bit, even if the turning machine tool is built, it will not be of much use.

Moreover, there is no water source to drive the waterwheel here.

If you want to get a machine tool driven by a waterwheel, the firearms workshop must be relocated.

Come step by step!

Yunzheng comforted himself secretly in his heart, and missed Zhang Xu again.

If Zhang Xu, a hands-on expert, was here, the waterwheel machine should be ready very quickly.

Although this thing is not worthy of lifting shoes from those high-tech machine tools in the previous life, it is better than manual work anyway, and the accuracy will be much higher.

Yunzheng thought wildly for a while and then called everyone in the firearms workshop to stop.

"The Chinese New Year will be the day after tomorrow. I have ordered people to take your family members to the compound outside the mountain. I have also prepared a small gift for you. After receiving it, you can go back and have a good reunion with your family!"

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 unkind!"

One of the most important rules of a firearms workshop is confidentiality.

Even to their wives and children, they are not allowed to reveal anything about the firearms workshop.

Their families are all in the newly built compound outside the mountain. They can reunite, but they cannot leave the compound. Their families, including theirs, will be closely guarded.

Anyone who breaks the rules will be killed without asking the reason.

Yunzheng gave them the highest reward and the best treatment, not to let them leak the secret.

"Keep in mind, villain!"

Everyone spoke together.

"Okay, let's go get the gifts!"

Yun Zheng waved his hand, "Also, after a reunion, it's best not to drink! The gifts I have prepared for you don't contain a drop of wine!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone bowed and saluted, and ran to receive the gifts in anticipation.

The master chefs each received two taels of silver and ten pounds of mutton.

Apprenticeships are halved.

There is no other workshop in Shuobei that offers such treatment.

After everyone received their gifts and left, the door of the workshop was slammed shut and locked with a huge iron chain, and hundreds of warriors were guarding it.

Just as Yunzheng was walking back with dozens of guards, a fast horse galloped over.

"Your Highness, Mrs. Gayao has arrived in Dingbei. Princess Ming is here to report."

Gayao?

Yun Zheng looked surprised.

Jia Yao actually arrived in Dingbei ahead of time?

Can this woman run so fast?

Didn't she come to Dingbei from Guifang alone?
