Haishan heard this and said, "Tong Laosan, I really don't know what is worth jealous of," he said.

"I really don't know?" Longkodo glanced at Haishan and said, "The Fourteenth Old is now independent of the Fourteenth Party. The emperor has strong support for these Fourteenth Party. Gamintu knows that last year, only a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and only relied on the Fourteenth Old. In the blink of an eye, the Minister of Revenue. How many people are trying to rely on it now, but they can't find a way? You are ready-made opportunities, and you can rely on it in one sentence. Besides, don't look at the customs reform now, it's not as fat as before, but do you know how much the salary expenditure of Jiang Customs last year?"[.]

"How many?" Haishan blinked, he had never heard of it.

"More than 46,000 taels, the amount paid by Jiang Customs in a year was only this." Longkodo said proudly: "Old Fourteen is generous. Your annual income is better than your salary for two years. This is a clean bank, and you are not satisfied? Besides, you have never seen the method of the old Fourteen. If you follow him for a few years, you might be able to get a prince?"

Prince Haishan's eyes lit up suddenly. For the relatives and nobles of the royal family, the most attractive one is the title. After being stunned, Haishan came to his senses, looked at Longkodo suspiciously, and said with a smile: "I said Tong Laosan, you are not from the 14th Party, right?"

"I think about it, but I must be attracted by the Fourteenth brothers, right?" Longkodo smiled bitterly. What kind of world is this? This gangster has ended up being a fat man. Why didn't he make any noise? The Fourteenth brother said, "It's almost done." Does this mean half a year, a year? Or two or three years? When he thought of the Fourteenth brothers who told him to stay away from all the princes, he not only sighed, "After the arrogant prince Yinzhen was banned, I completely gave up. I will not interfere with anyone. I don't care about the heavens and the earth, and live my free life."

"Okay, I see you're going to be a monk, why bother to roll in this world?" Haishan teased: "I'm a plain man, and I'm just a concise person who has a special mind to be the prince. It's easy to leave, so I won't send him off."

Longkodo smiled with a shy face and said, "Don't interfere, who is with us? If you have the chance, you have to help me."

"It goes without saying that no one can forget you, Tong Laosan." Haishan said with a smile: "Let's go, I'll treat you to the show today."

Wangfujing Street, Shuaifu Garden, the residence of the Thirteenth Prince.

After the fourth prince Yinzhen came to court, he did not return home, but instead went to the Thirteenth prince's mansion to visit Yinxiang.

Yinxiang respected Yinzhen since he was a child and was also the most familiar with his nature. After seeing him greeting him, he silently said, and couldn't help but take the initiative to raise the topic, "Have the Fourth Brother encountered troubles recently?"

Yinzhen chuckled and said, "I don't want to bother you about these things, but you are bored if you are bored in your mansion for a day. Just think of it as a relief for you." As he said that, he said the morning court incident in detail.

Yinxiang already knew about the independence of the Fourteenth Old, but he didn't expect Kangxi to support him so strongly. He couldn't help but feel sad when he heard this. He was about the same age as the Fourteenth Old, and he had the same division, but his situation was different. Thinking of Kangxi's criticism of him and looking at his legs, he was even more indifferent and restless.

Seeing that he looked depressed, Yinzhen couldn't help but blame himself for talking too much, and hurriedly comforted him: "Thirteenth brother, don't be depressed. The emperor is in full swing. This is a long time. We don't fight for this time. There are opportunities in the future. You can rest assured to cure your illness. Fourth brother can point at you and do a great job. Don't think about it. Fourth brother is there in everything."

Yinxiang said in a low voice: "It's all because Thirteen is useless. I can't help the fourth brother."

When Yinzhen heard this, he said angrily: "What are the words of Thirteenth brother? If you don't take the blame for the fourth brother, how bad can you be compared to the fourth brother? I will be really annoyed when I hear this in the future."

Seeing Yinzhen getting angry, Yinxiang quickly changed the subject, "Why did Emperor Ama support Lao Sisi so strongly?"

"Isn't it just playing balance?" Yinzhen said casually, but after saying that, he asked strangely: "Do you have another opinion?"

Yinxiang pondered and said, "I don't think it's entirely true. Did the Fourth Brother notice that Zhang Penghu, Gamintu, Chen Pengnian, Yu Zhun, Tang Zhixu, and Shi Shipiao are all known as honesty."

Yinzhen was shocked and hesitated, "What does the Thirteenth brother mean is the Emperor Ama who wants the Fourteenth brother?"

Yinxiang nodded slowly, "It is not easy for the court to raise an honest official. The emperor has always taken good care of the honest official. What's more, the emperor has always hated the formation of cliques the most, but this time it is a very abnormal situation, which is really thought-provoking."

Yinzhen couldn't help but sigh inwardly, it was really the case that the authorities were confused and the bystanders were clear.

February, Shanghai.

After a crisp gunshot sound at the shooting range, a happy and loud voice came from the shooting crew, "One hundred and fifty steps (one step 1.5 meters), ten shots and six shots."

Dai Zi smiled like a walnut with an old face, and said with a full breath: "Master, with this lead bullet, the power of the musket has been greatly improved, both in terms of range and accuracy, which is a huge difference from the Panyan Bird Gun made by the slave before. I didn't expect that the Western Ocean would still have such a powerful weapon."

Yinzhen laughed secretly. Westerners may not have one now. This Minnie bullet should be a product of the 19th century. He smiled slightly and was very satisfied with the power of the Minnie bullet. "Can this kind of musket be produced in large quantities?"

Dai Zi shook his head awkwardly, "Mass production is not possible at present. With the current manpower, three can be produced a day. Not only is the rifle of the barrel difficult to pull, but it is also time-consuming to make a good barrel that is not easy to explode."

Yinzhen couldn't help but feel very frustrated. He knew how to pull the rifle, but he couldn't help the barrel. He didn't know how Dai Zi pulled the rifle. He thought about whether to go to the firearm factory to find a way to slowly guide them.

Next is the straight-runk cannon. After three months of repeated experiments, Dai Zi has tinted out the straight-runk cannon and pointed barrel-shaped lead-shaped cannon shells. After countless experimental improvements, the technology has been fully mature.

After several shots, the data reported made Yinzhen very frustrated. Although Dai Zi wrapped a layer of lead outside the shell and made great progress in range, the accuracy was not satisfactory, and the loading speed and cleaning the cannon bore were also much slower than the smoothbore cannon.

But Dai Zi was very excited about this result. However, after seeing Yinzhen's expression, he quickly restrained his smile and felt very depressed. What did this master do? He was not satisfied with such a good result. What requirements did he want to meet?

Although Yinzhen was frustrated, he knew that this matter was too urgent. After encouraging Dai Zi, he said: "Can you consider combining the 'Folang Machine' rear-mounted cannon with this rifled cannon?"

Dai Zi was slightly stunned and asked, "What the master means is to change the rifled cannon to a rear-load cannon?"
