MTL - Female Official In the East Palace-Chapter 180

Will the big brother be provoked by the prince?

The answer is yes.

When the prince asked him if he dared, the first thought in the big brother's mind was: "What dare you not?" When he thought about money, he was instantly moved.

"What's your way of making money?"

The prince put his hands behind his back, glanced around his eyes, and said, "It is inconvenient to elaborate at this time, when will eldest brother take time to come to my Yuqing Palace?"

The big brother was annoyed, "If you don't say it now, why are you stopping me?"

"Brother, don't be impatient, is there nothing to say between us brothers?

The elder brother was expressionless and said mercilessly: "I really have nothing to say with you."

The prince's expression did not change, he picked up the jug, filled two glasses, handed one glass to the elder brother, he held the glass in his hand, and gently touched the glass of the elder brother , and said in a casual chat: "Big brother has already obtained the Lianzhu fire gun. How is Mr. Dai's research?"

The elder brother heard his question and showed dissatisfaction, "You and I are clearly exchanging interests, but I asked you to set up a firearms class in Renzhao College, you refused, but now you come How's my research going?"

"What? Not smooth?"

"Yes, no." The elder brother raised his glass and drank it, frowning and said, "Dai Zi is indeed very talented in firearms, but over the years, I have found that His ability to copy and improve upon the original is unparalleled, but it is difficult to be creative."

In the years when the eldest brother reused Dai Zi, there were often new firearms made in Zhuangzi, and when they were presented, they were also affirmed by Kangxi and the army, but they were not able to satisfy the eldest brother. Require.

The firearms made by Dai Zi were all born out of the firearms of the previous dynasty or tributes from other countries, even the twenty-eight shotguns.

"I want better firearms, but at present Dai Zi is not enough to do it alone, and his age can't be harsh."

The eldest brother picked up the jug that the prince put down just now, filled the glass, stared at the prince, and said: "The course of Renzhao College failed, I can only choose some people to order Dai Zi Accepting apprentices and professors has little effect, and the money I waste every year is still huge, and I have not yet gained anything.”

"No skill can be achieved overnight." The prince rubbed the glass and asked him, "Who did the eldest brother choose?"

"The soldiers of the Eight Banners who were injured on the battlefield and could no longer do anything, just taught them to make a living, saving them all day long and causing trouble."

Ordinary firearms masters still need some talent and interest, aren’t the sons of officials in the war bureau just like Mr. Dai back then?”

Big Brother thoughtful, "You mean the origin of family learning?"

"Exactly." The prince shook his glass and suddenly asked, "Did Mr. Dai's son follow his father's will?"

"The eldest son and the second son have no talent, and the third son is still young."

"It's a pity."

The big brother replied softly, holding the jug and not putting it down, poured and drank by himself, and both of them were quiet for a while.

"Prince second brother! Big brother!" The third elder brother Yinzhi suddenly inserted into the middle of the two, pointed in the direction of the elders, and said in a provocative tone, "I just said that the elder brother is massive , Lao Liu and Xiao Jiu are not convinced, big brother come! Drink them up!"

The prince raised the corners of his mouth slightly, as if speaking for the elder brother, and discouraged: "Yin Zuo is not yet twenty years old, plus the following ones, he can't compare to the elder brother's. The amount of alcohol, it’s okay to be drunk and lose your temper, if you hurt your body, it’s not good…”

The sixth elder brother Yinzuo and the ninth elder brother Yinzuo were not convinced at all, and when they heard the prince's words, they immediately said: "The amount of alcohol has nothing to do with age, it is not comparable, it is necessary to compare We'll find out later!"

The third elder brother added fuel to the fire: "Yes! After comparing it, I know that the eldest brother has to stay with his younger brothers and stay drunk?"

The elder brother slapped the third elder brother on the back of the head, and said coldly, "I'm afraid of you guys! Don't even try to run away today!"

The atmosphere suddenly became warm with the big brother's words, and the big and small brothers huddled in one place and made a noise.

The prince saw the fourth elder brother Yinzhen standing quietly on the periphery, so he waved at his only one, and when he came over, he instructed: "I still have a lot of things to do, Yinzhen, look at Little Twelve and the others are not allowed to drink, and if Big Brother and the others are drunk later, they will directly ask the palace attendant to **** them back, and if anyone does not listen, they will say that I ordered them."

"Yes." The fourth elder brother responded, and said with concern, "Prince second elder brother, rest early, and your health is the first."

The prince smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "You should do the same, I know you work hard, but you should also have fun."

"Follow the orders of the second brother of the prince."

The prince looked at his serious expression, shook his head with a smile, patted again, and then turned to leave.

to the front of the hall.

The princes knew the reason, but the civil and military officials did not, so they all cast their eyes on the two of them vaguely.

The prince did not change his smile, he stood in his position as if nothing had happened, and he was very good at nourishing qi.

After the imperial court, the prince, elder brother, third elder brother, fourth elder elder brother, and the ministers of state affairs followed the emperor to the Qianqing Palace to discuss government affairs. As it was approaching noon, everyone retired temporarily.

The eldest brother walked directly half a step after the prince and went to Yuqing Palace with him.

The third elder brother saw this and was very curious. Even if he wanted to follow him to see what happened, the fourth elder brother grabbed his forearm and pulled him away.

As soon as the prince took the elder brother into his study, he didn't give a shit, and said straight to the point: "As I said yesterday, it is necessary to give up, if the elder brother wants to have Great progress requires some investment.”

When the elder brother heard the word "investment", his eyebrows twitched, and his whole body showed a defensive posture.

The prince didn't seem to see him, and said, "As long as the eldest brother takes out 50,000 taels, he can make a lot of money."

"Fifty thousand taels?!" The elder brother almost broke his voice, "Why don't you go grab it?!"

"Big Brother..."

"No!"

The elder brother scolded "hysteria" again, got up and walked directly to the door, but the prince didn't stop him, and the old **** was still sitting on the ground on the teacher's chair behind the desk.

The eldest brother had not yet touched the door, the door had been opened from the outside, Rong Xin was standing outside the door with a tray in both hands, when he saw him standing at the door, he was surprised: Brother, are you going to leave as soon as you come?"

The eldest brother looked at her face, frowned, and asked, "Auntie, why did you bring the tea in person? Are you cold?"

"How did you find out?" Rong Xin smiled as she entered the study and replied, "It's just a minor illness, it has already been cured, yesterday, His Highness the Crown Prince told me that you came today, and I specially Ask Xueqing to make some desserts that you like, how about you use it for a while before leaving?"

The eldest brother heard the words and gritted his teeth at the prince: "His Royal Highness is really predictable, and it is so sinister, I admire it."

Prince laughed, "Award."

Rong Xin put down the tray and looked at the two of them suspiciously, "What kind of riddle are you two playing?"

The prince smiled and said nothing, the elder brother pulled a smile at her and replied: "Nothing."

When she came to this point, she was still a little unhappy."

The big brother picked up a piece of peach blossom mold sticky cake, took a bite and said, "It's okay, when I go back, ask Aunt Xueqing to make it up for me, and I'll take it back to Fujin."

Rong Xin picked up the tray and walked out, "Then I'll let Xue Qing do more."

"Aunt." The elder brother stopped her, "I can't finish it if I make it too much. Next time, Fu Jin and I want to eat, and I will trouble you and Aunt Xueqing when I come over."

Rong Xin stopped and said with a smile: "I think it's bad, it's really because I stayed in the house to recuperate a few days ago, and I was suffocated."

"Although wind-cold is a minor illness, it should not be ignored."

At this moment, the prince smiled and interjected: "Auntie did it too. It happened that my brother and I were talking about sending a merchant ship to sea. You should also listen to it."

"The merchant ship goes to sea?" The elder brother was surprised.

The prince smiled unabated, and said slowly: "Exactly, the eldest brother wants to reject me, after all, listen to me."

The elder brother slowed down while eating the dim sum, and said stubbornly: "I would like to hear, is your words worth fifty thousand taels?"

As soon as Rong Xin heard the elder brother say "50,000 taels", he raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his tea bowl and watched the follow-up.

The crown prince said slowly: "You and I are not princes, and you must not exploit the common people. We just need a good way to make money. Looking at the previous dynasty, this is the only way to go to sea for business. At the same time, as long as It is a huge profit to be able to return smoothly.”

"It's just an ordinary businessman, you and I don't need to worry about pirates or barbarian looting, right?"

Prince and elder brother cannot act in the name of the Qing Dynasty, but they can use the power of the court. Natural disasters are not what people want, but man-made disasters can be avoided by force, and their merchant ships will not be slaughtered like ordinary merchants.

The prince looked at the eldest brother, and said with reason: "50,000 taels at first heard, it is indeed not a small number, but the eldest brother might as well think about it, at least there must be a huge warship, Add in the purchase of goods, crew and attrition at sea..."

"50,000 taels is only a drop in the bucket." The elder brother's face turned even darker, "Do you still want me to be your money bag?"

"No, eldest brother only needs to produce these 50,000 taels and a few cannons." The prince said to meet each other sincerely, "When the time comes, you and I will get five or five points."

"Prince is sure?" The elder brother is very suspicious.

The prince said sincerely: "Auntie is here to testify, if the elder brother still doesn't believe it, you can make a written evidence."

The eldest brother glanced at his aunt, thought for a long time, and nodded in agreement.

The prince curled his lips slightly and reminded: "Of course, if there is only one boat, 50,000 taels is enough, if there is another boat, the elder brother will have to pay 50,000 taels, otherwise he will let How about my profit?"

50,000 taels and 10% profit, Big Brother naturally chose 50,000 taels.

The prince smiled and said, "Aunt also testified this matter, so I won't make a written evidence with the elder brother, but the crew and weapons going to sea, we have to ask the elder brother to find a way."

"You're used to getting things done."

The prince showed a helpless look on his face, "Actually, it's because the eldest brother got a bargain. There are still many things to prepare for in the follow-up, which is really exhausting."

The eldest brother looked at the prince, clearly showing his distrust.
