(0650) [Today's first update is delivered! ] 】

Zuo Guangdou thought to himself, if I misunderstand you Xu Xingxia, I will have your surname, and I will be your youngest son in the future. If your army arrives in the city of Nanjing and does not take it for themselves, the sun will really come out of the west. As long as there are benefits, what can't you kid do? His Royal Highness the county lord has just come to your side, and you have done something to Xi'an Mansion, which is completely unscrupulous! However, Xu Xingxia said it so clearly, he was not easy to answer. Could it be that he replied, "Chairman, what you said is so right, we really don't believe you, you better do it yourself!"

Seriously speaking, Xu Xingxia, the master of the horses, is really a freak among freaks. At the beginning, it was Zhu Changluo's special family background that gave Zhu Yilan the opportunity to wander outside, so that it was possible to meet Xu Xingxia. Without this prerequisite, the two would simply not be able to be together. Subsequently, the Ming Dynasty was divided, so that the original rules were almost all broken. King Fu even did the thing of rebellion and usurpation, and he didn't mention any other rules.

If it weren't for the north-south division of the Ming Dynasty, under the pressure of others, Zhu Changluo would have asked the Zongren Mansion to remove the name Zhu Yilan and not recognize her as his biological daughter. Throughout the history of 5,000 years, there have been countless people who have decisively disengaged from their relatives in order to protect themselves. There are even countless people who kill their relatives with their own hands to avoid implicating themselves. Since Zhu Yilan is not the county lord, he naturally has nothing to do with the royal family.

Now, of course, it's a different story. Now, everyone in Nanjing knows that there is a veritable princess by Xu Xingxia's side. And their lives are still tied to this princess. For this reason, the status of Her Royal Highness the princess instantly became extremely important. Some courtiers even suggested that Zhu Yilan must be given a special title to show her difference from other princesses, in exchange for her blowing pillow wind to Xu Xingxia.

Zuo Guangdou hurriedly said: "Since ancient times, Weng's son-in-law is a family, why be so polite? ”

He is also a smart person, and he knows that the only person who can maintain the relationship between Nanjing and Xu Xingxia at present is Zhu Yilan, who is already Her Royal Highness the Princess. So, every sentence is as high as possible. He has to take the initiative to confirm the identity of Xu Xingxia, the master of the horse. At present, only this identity is the most useful for the Nanjing Imperial Court.

If Zuo Guangdou's estimate is not wrong, the Nanjing Imperial Court should have sent a delegation of envoys to Ningxia Town to actively visit Zhu Yilan. As the emperor's father, he took the initiative to send someone to greet his daughter, on the surface, it seems that there is nothing special, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is the father asking his daughter for help.

Regardless of whether Zhu Yilan would agree to his father's request, the Nanjing court must do so. Their purpose is actually not Zhu Yilan, but Xu Xingxia. This visit is completely for Xu Xingxia to see. The so-called don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, with Zhu Yilan in the middle, Xu Xingxia will not show it directly even if he is not happy with Nanjing. Reach out and don't hit the smiling person!

Hearing Zuo Guangdou's voice, the horse master screamed extremely affectionately, and the other political councilors present all showed disapproving looks. Someone unabashedly glanced at Zuo Guangdou with disdain. It turns out that this guy also knows how to pat the of the commissar! I thought he was so high! In other words, why didn't anyone find out at the beginning, this Zuo Guangdou was hungry and hungry, and it turned out to be so perfect!

Xu Xingxia nodded quietly, and said with a smile: "Okay, why don't you ask Lord Zuo to go back to Nanjing first to show my sincerity?" ”

Zuo Guangdou was suddenly overjoyed, and said loudly: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness!" ”

Xu Xingxia smiled slightly and didn't say anything. This Zuo Guangdou is indeed a little anxious. He was worried that the Nanjing Imperial Court would slack off its cooperation with the white-clothed army, and as soon as he heard that he could let him go, he immediately couldn't hold back. Zuo Guangdou is a civil official who has a very good cultivation and kung fu, and he can't hold back the monkey anxiety in his heart, but imagine how anxious he has become. It is estimated that in a maximum of ten days, Zuo Guangdou will be able to reach Nanjing.

Zuo Guangdou can't help but be anxious, if Xu Xingxia agrees to cooperate with Beiming, it will be bad.

There is no doubt that the Fu King of the Northern Ming Dynasty will definitely send an envoy to Xu Xingxia. The behemoth of the white-clothed army is something that the Nanjing and Yanjing imperial courts have to face in fear. Even if you can't pull it under your command and become your own help, at least you can't let your qi throw into the arms of the other party and become your enemy. Perhaps, with the efficiency of the Northern Ming court, the envoys they sent were already on the way. No one knows if the Northern Ming Dynasty will see some very attractive conditions for Xu Xingxia.

Don't think that this kind of son-in-law really has any effect. In dirty politics, beautiful women are always just tools, and they cannot play a role in determining surnames. Zuo Guangdou is not stupid enough to be so stupid. If you want to really pull Xu Xingxia over, you must give him tangible benefits. If there is no benefit of a real surname, even if he marries a hundred princesses, Xu Xingxia will not be tempted. It's just that Zuo Guangdou can't make the decision on this matter, so he has to go back to discuss with Emperor Taichang and the high-level of the Donglin Party.

Zuo Guangdou soon left Ningxia Town in a hurry and headed for Nanjing. The government affairs meeting presided over by Xu Xingxia continued to be held. As for the fundamental policy and strategy of wanting money from the south and the life of the north ming, the political councilors all agree with it. After the meeting, this proposal was formally decided. The rest is how to implement it step by step.

…… After the Supreme Council meeting ended, Xu Xingxia happily approached the Department of Science and Technology.

When he was in Hamiwei, Xu Xingxia had already sent someone to inform the person in charge of the Science and Technology Department that he should seize the time, seize all opportunities, and use all available resources to tackle key projects. Now, what is the result of these key projects, Xu Xingxia wants to know for himself. He also had to make some suggestions on the spot.

The Department of Science and Technology and the Science and Technology Committee are actually two sets of brands and one set of people. The top person in charge of the Science and Technology Department is called Wang Zheng. This guy is from a good background, and he has been unsatisfactory in his attempts, but he has some talent in mathematics. He wrote his own book "Arithmetic Song Formula", which has some similarities with the ninety-nine multiplication formulas of later generations. Born in Longqing in the fifth year, he happened to be forty-five or sixteen years old, which is the age with the strongest research and development ability.

Wang Zheng was reluctant to take refuge in the white-clothed army. At that time, the scholars were influenced by Confucianism, and they were still very resistant to rebellion and rebellion. Although Wang Zheng tried unexpectedly, he had not yet reached the point of having no food, and naturally had no interest in taking refuge in Xu Xingxia. He was dug up by Xu Xingxia through Zhu Yilan's channel. Zhu Yilan personally wrote a letter to Wang Zheng and invited him to come over.

The whole process of taking refuge is still a bit despicable and shameless. Xuan Yingwei used some means to get Wang Zheng's family into prison, which made Wang Zheng's family very frightened and panicked, and then rescued them in the name of the white-clothed army. Wang Zheng was desperate, and there was a letter from His Royal Highness the real county lord, and he finally agreed to take refuge. Of course, Wang Zheng will never know these things.

The other person in charge of the Science and Technology Department is Song Yingxing. Song Yingxing's arrival was simply a kidnapping of the surname. At that time, Song Yingxing was not famous, and he had no official position, so no one noticed him. He doesn't have any backing behind him. Xuan Yingwei didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, and directly kidnapped his entire family. Anyway, when it comes to Xu Xingxia's land, it will not be Song Yingxing's turn to be uncooperative.

In addition to Wang Zheng and Song Yingxing, under the Department of Science and Technology, there are also many reserve forces with good vision. Among them, including Bi Maokang and others. At that time, Bi Maokang had not yet shown extraordinary talent. However, he has developed a keen interest in the study of firearms. The production process of Yueyue Gong has also been reorganized by him, so that the quality of the produced Yueyue Gong is better and the cost is lower. At the same time, he also had a lot of suggestions on the development of steam engines.

However, in the Department of Science and Technology, when it comes to the most famous, it is Xu Guangqi. Xu Guangqi's arrival was entirely the result of coercion and temptation. This great scientist in the late Ming Dynasty was indeed very interested in researching inventions. As long as someone is willing to actively fund his inventions, he doesn't care about his official position. After Xu Xingxia gave a number of very tempting research suggestions, Xu Guangqi finally agreed to take refuge in him. In view of Lao Xu's reputation and the surname that can unite people, Xu Xingxia finally put Xu Guangqi in charge of the entire Science and Technology Department.

Joining Xu Guangqi was the Italian missionary Matteo Ricci. This Italian missionary did not come to Ningxia to preach. He also came for the invention of science and technology. In order to pull Xu Guangqi over, Xu Xingxia would provide him with some research suggestions or research directions from time to time. Obviously, Matteo Ricci, who is often with Xu Guangqi, was also deeply attracted by some of the "inventions" that Xu Xingxia deliberately fiddled with.

In particular, Matteo Ricci was very curious about where Xu Xingxia's glass came from. As an Italian, Matteo Ricci was still very interested in the unique technology of Italian glass production. After all, in the Age of Discovery, the Italians didn't even drink soup. They can only rely on the secret technology of glass to make a little profit.

However, this unique technology, which has been kept secret for three or four hundred years, was actually cracked by Xu Xingxia. The glass produced in Ningxia Town, both in terms of quality and single area, is far above Italian glass. Ricci was certainly curious.
