Yu Zhigan ended up inexplicably carrying a lot of debts, and some famous calligraphy and paintings that Yu Zhigan had never seen before were counted on Yu Zhigan's head.

But in this case, Yu Zhigan could only agree with the slightest whip. Otherwise, Yu Zhigan might have to taste the taste of the willow whip again. In order not to suffer from the pain of flesh and blood, Yu Zhigan still agreed with it.

The emperor also had good intentions, and in order to worry that the prince would forget, he had to work hard to beat the prince. He wrote a note that detailed what had been lost in the palace recently, from calligraphy and paintings to some vases.

"Don't worry, Father, I will definitely get all these things back!"

Looking at the directory on the note, Yu Zhigan almost cried and was about to bleed again. Only a small part of these things were moved out of the palace, and more were cheated by his father.

But Yu Zhigan decided to grit his teeth and endure it. Compared to Wang Xizhi's words, these things are worthless.

The emperor was very satisfied with the prince's performance. After feeling that after whipping the prince a few times, he felt refreshed, his waist was no longer sore, and his head was no longer hurt. He even saw things clearly. It seemed that if you have any problems in the future, you can beat the prince a few more times, which is beneficial to your physical and mental health.

"Okay, what's wrong with you entering the palace?" The emperor felt very happy after whining out of disgust and began to ask about the main things.

Yu Zhi touched his calves. He just whipped his cheap father, which really hurts. However, when it comes to serious matters, Yu Zhigan looked up and took out his memorial and handed it to the emperor: "Father, I am here to ask for money. The Whampoa Military Academy, Garytown College and Tsinghua Park established by him all require a lot of capital investment. The national treasury is full. I want to apply for some research funds to use it..."

After hearing this, the emperor looked at the memorial in Yu Zhigan's hand. After reading it, he frowned: "These research institutes need to invest so much money?"

Yu Zhi's plan was to demand 300,000 taels of silver, which would be tens of millions of dollars into copper coins. All of these money would be one-sixty of the total annual income of the Empire.

"Father, this money is a must-have. Although it seems that the investment is very large, the reward is very generous. Does the father still remember glass? The father's inner treasury now is the big one produced by glass, and the son-in-law spent about 100,000 taels of glass to study glass!" After Yu Zhigan finished speaking, he looked at the emperor with a pitiful look, hoping that the emperor could return the money to himself as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You spent 100,000 taels of stuff burned from a pile of sand?"

The emperor blew his beard and stared at him, expressing his disbelief. Yu Zhigan was immediately excited after hearing this: "Father, you can't say that. You have seen the result now. The glass is burned from sand. But before that, who knew that Erchen had to experiment with various materials, and also experiment with various fire cellars, add various additives, etc. This requires a lot of manpower and material resources!"

Hearing Yu Zhigan's explanation, the emperor nodded in a different way and narrowed his eyes and thought: "That's true. Are there any research results among these three academies?"

It's so old that my cheap father is not easy to be fooled. Logically speaking, my cheap father shouldn't think of this. Looking at the emperor, Yu Zhigan thought about it: "Gunpowder has been improved and can be used in actual combat, as well as pulley sets, gliders, hot air balloons, etc."

Yu Zhigan briefly mentioned a few things that were relatively fast. Among them, the hot air balloon is more dangerous except for the lack of inert gas, and it can actually be launched. However, Yu Zhigan has not tested it and is waiting for the inert gas to be researched.

"So many?" Most of these things the emperor had heard of. After thinking for a while, he slowly spoke: "Please ask someone to prepare. After you are ready, I will take a look at the experiment and make a decision!"

"Here!"

Although I didn't get the note, at least one result was achieved. Yu Zhigan went back and prepared, and then let the emperor and ministers see what technology is.

"My son is leaving!" Yu Zhi finished his work and was about to leave.

The emperor nodded: "Call Lao Qi in, oh, by the way, I almost forgot. Boss, you have practiced your calligraphy almost well. Wang Xizhi's Lanting Xu and the goose post will be sent back!"

Yu Zhi, who was about to go out, staggered and almost fell down. Did his own cheap father already know? His own mother...

"Father, Erchen thinks that Erchen's word needs to be practiced for a few more times..."

"Um?"

The emperor narrowed his eyes, then stood up thoughtfully and walked to Liubian. Looking at Liubian, he seemed to be thinking about something. After seeing this, Yu Zhigan immediately understood, threatened, naked threat, if he didn't give it to him, the emperor would whip himself with a whip. Yu Zhigan sighed, and was under the roof and had to bow his head...

"When I go back, I have someone send it to the palace!"

"Well, go, I just think this willow whip is a hindrance here!" After saying that, he picked up the willow whip and placed it in his original position.

Yu Zhigan walked out of the Ganlu Palace and looked back. He couldn't help but feel a little upset. He lost a lot, and lost his wife and soldiers. He thought he could blackmail Wang Xizhi's words, but it seemed that everything was under the control of his father. As expected, he was still too young. Compared with the old fox, he was still too young!

"Brother, brother, are you okay?"

Seeing his elder brother come out, Lao Qi immediately came up. Yu Zhigan's scream just now was so terrible. Lao Qi kept brains on what happened in the room.

Yu Zhigan shook his head and sighed: "It's okay, the seventh father told you, brother has something to do, let's go first!" After saying that, he left without looking back. After taking two steps, he felt a little pain in his legs and couldn't help but take a breath: "Father is so cruel, this whip!" After saying that, he rubbed hard. The next time he saw that he was cheap, he must wear more clothes!

Lao Qi was a little anxious when he saw his elder brother leaving without looking back, but Wu Sangui had already come to his side: "Your Majesty Seventh Prince, Your Majesty is welcome!"

"Ah, oh!" Lao Qi came to his senses, looked at Wu Sangui, and secretly picked up a jade pendant and went over: "Eunuch Wu, brother just now?"

Wu Sangui waved his hand immediately. He dared to accept some of the prince's money, but he didn't dare to accept the jade pendant. While waved his hand, he said: "Your Highness Seventh Prince, I was outside the hall just like you. I don't know what happened in the hall. Go in quickly, don't let Your Highness wait in a hurry!"

Lao Qi nodded and took a deep breath. He had never been so afraid of seeing his father. The screams of his elder brother just now made him feel a little scared, worried that he would be beaten by his father later.

At this time, Lao Qi remembered his childhood. His father was so kind at that time, why is it suddenly...

With all kinds of mixed thoughts in his head, Lao Qi stepped into the Ganlu Palace. The emperor was carefully observing Liu Bian, recalling the feeling when he hit the prince just now. The emperor felt that the whips just now were really comfortable, and the anger that had been away for a long time was released.

"It seems that you will beat the prince more if you have nothing to do in the future!"

The emperor said to himself, and was heard by Lao Qi who had just entered the door. Lao Qi was frightened and trembled all over. What is the situation? My father will beat him and these princes if he has something to do in the future?

"Son minister, I have seen my father!" Lao Qi carefully bowed to the emperor. Lao Qi swore that this was the most standard time he had done since he learned royal etiquette. Every move was meticulous, and he was afraid that he would make a mistake. His father picked up the willow whip at his hand and whipped him.

"Well, Lao Qi is here!"

After seeing Lao Qi, the emperor smiled and waved at Lao Qi, signaling Lao Qi to get closer, and picked up his willow whip to put it back. Lao Qi looked at the willow whip in the emperor's hand, and then looked at the father's move to let him get closer, gritting his teeth and preparing to be punished. Although he didn't know what he had done wrong, it was natural for me to beat my son.

"Lao Qi, you came here with the prince just now. It seems that something is wrong?"

The expected whip did not fall, and the emperor put away the willow whip. Lao Qi then breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing his father's inquiry, he immediately shook his head: "Father, I'm fine, I just miss my father, come and have a look!"

"Then what are you doing with the memorial in your hand?"

"ah?"

Lao Qi then realized that the memorial was always held in his hands nervously. The emperor looked at his seventh prince and felt that this guy was a little strange today. He couldn't help but take the memorial in Lao Qi's hand directly into his hand and opened it and read it.

After Lao Qi saw the emperor take away his memorial, he only felt that it was over, he was finished, and he might not be able to escape this beaten-up today!

The emperor glanced at Lao Qi's memorial and realized it immediately. Lao Qi, like the eldest, came to ask for money: "Is your elder brother who asked you to come?"

"Father, this has nothing to do with the eldest brother. Yes, yes, it's because the son minister has no money!"

As a brother, Lao Qi felt that he could not betray his elder brother. His elder brother was the crown prince. If he was to be blamed by his father and was punished by him, then if he could not be the crown prince, who would be the crown prince? Do you? No, how can you study steam engines as the crown prince?

The emperor glanced at the seventh prince and said that the two brothers seemed to have a good relationship. It seemed that the prince had a good relationship with the other brothers. The emperor nodded with satisfaction with the seventh prince's behavior of subconsciously protecting his elder brother. As the emperor, what he wanted to see most was his princes, the humble and respectful brothers.

"You want one hundred thousand taels?"

"I don't want it anymore. I think it's enough to find out the steam engine when I go back and raise it myself!"

The emperor glanced at Lao Qi, and felt that Lao Qi was getting more and more strange. He returned to his desk: "How is the steam engine research?"

When the emperor asked about his professional knowledge, Lao Qi suddenly felt spirited: "Father, the steam engine has developed greatly. Erchen has built a vehicle that can be driven by himself, but it is relatively large in size, and the kinetic energy conversion efficiency is relatively low, and the speed is not fast, so it cannot be put into use. However, the father believes that Erchen will be able to build a qualified steam engine soon!"

Hearing the seventh prince's words, the emperor looked at the seventh prince in surprise. He did not expect that the seventh prince had already studied the steam engine to this point and looked at Lao Qi: "What is the qualified steam engine you mentioned?"

Lao Qi thought for a moment: "Father, if Erchen studies a qualified steam engine, he can build a huge vehicle, and can drag tens of thousands of tons of goods behind him. Well, it was said by the eldest brother. The eldest brother also said that he could build an iron-armored ship, which was used as a steam engine. Now Erchen's steam engine can drive the millstone and there are some things that have not reached the level that the eldest brother said for the time being, but Erchen thinks that as long as Erchen continues to improve, he can meet the standards that the eldest brother said!"

The emperor fell into deep thought. Compared to the prince's somewhat reckless personality, Lao Qi was more steady. Generally, the words he said from Lao Qi would not be fake. This child is more honest. The steam engine path seemed to work. The emperor looked at Lao Qi: "If I give you enough money, how long will it take to develop a qualified steam engine?"

Hearing this sentence, Lao Qi showed joy on his face: "Father, if you have enough money to support and enough manpower, Erchen will be able to improve the steam engine for up to three years. However, the biggest problem now is not the improvement of the steam engine, but now our iron smelting technology is somewhat understandard, and there are many impurities in the iron. Erchen bought a good iron ingot too high!"

The emperor waved his hand: "Don't worry about this. I will send someone to search for the best iron ingots for you. The iron ore in Ma'anshan is of good quality and will be specially used for you at that time!"

"Thank you, Father!"

"I have approved your memorial. Go to the Ministry of Revenue to get the money, go!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Lao Qi was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he was worried about whether he would be beaten up just now. Now he can get the money suddenly. It's a surprise!

After taking the memorial reviewed by his father, Lao Qi ran out excitedly, preparing to tell his elder brother the good news.

"Your Highness, please wait, don't fall!"

Wu Sangui saw Lao Qi running out excitedly, and couldn't help but remind him that Lao Qi didn't hear it at all. He quickly ran towards the palace gate. If nothing unexpected happens, his elder brother should have not left the palace yet. After all, his elder brother had just been beaten by his father, so it seemed a bit inconvenient to walk.

When the seventh brother chased Yu Zhiqian, Yu Zhiqian was sitting on the steps and rubbing his wounds. Grandma was so bearish. The emperor just started to take a little hard work. There were two bruises on his legs. He didn't notice it at first, but after walking a few steps, he found some pain. Yu Zhiqian had to find some rest and ask someone to find some medicine for bruises and injuries to apply it to him.

"Brother, big brother, big brother!"

After Lao Qi saw Yu Zhiqian from afar, he immediately shouted excitedly.
