The Tianqi Emperor glared at the few Missionaries with an ashen expression. As soon as he turned around, he saw Zhu Youjian squatting in front of the broken self-ringing bell, making a cuckoo sound.
"Alright!" Zhu Youjian installed the last part, took the handkerchief handed by the young eunuch, wiped the oil on his hand, and turned the spring.
Creak, creak...
On the dial of the self-sounding clock, the hour hand made a crisp and pleasant sound and started to move again.
Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at Prince Xin in disbelief!
He even knew how to fix this!
"Priest Tang, you've been deceived. The bearings of this clock are not made of rubies at all. In the future, you have to inspect the goods first before you buy anything.”
Under the shocked gazes of countless people, Zhu Youjian walked to Tang Ruowang and said with a smile.
" My God, you are simply an all-powerful superman…" Tang Ruowang walked to the front of the bell and leaned his ear against it to listen for a long time. Then, he looked at Zhu Youjian in shock and praised him sincerely.
"His Highness Prince Xin is truly an unprecedented genius! Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Wei Zhongxian once again knelt on the ground and offered a perfect flattery.
"How can you measure Imperial Brother's capabilities!”The Tianqi Emperor smiled smugly. His younger brother had shown his face, and as his elder brother, he also had a very glorious face.
" Congratulations to the host for successfully repairing a self-tolling bell. You have received 3 Emperor Points…"
"I wonder if you still want the compensation of one million taels?”Zhu Youjian turned around and asked the yellow-haired foreigner who had lowered his head and remained silent.
" Since you've fixed it, then, we..." The young foreigner's face was as red as a monkey's butt, and his voice was trembling." I apologize to His Majesty and all the merciful lords. I hope you can forgive my rudeness just now..."
"Forgiveness is forgiveness, but what about the repair fees?”Zhu Youjian sneered and reached out his hand." There's buying and selling. Courtesy should be reciprocated. You Taixi people don't even understand this, do you?!"”
" This..." John's face turned red as he tugged at Tang Ruowang's collar as if he was asking for help.
"Your Highness Prince Xin, thank you very much for helping us repair this bell. This is your reward.”Tang Ruowang glared at John and ordered him to shut up!
He untied a white cloth pouch from his waist and handed it to Zhu Youjian. Zhu Youjian nodded in satisfaction and put it in his pocket.
That's right, he had directly put it in his arms!
The head eunuch Wei Zhongxian thought that he had seen wrongly and hurriedly rubbed his eyes to take a look. That was right, Prince Xin had taken the money bag from the foreigner and stuffed it into his arms, keeping it for himself!
Wei Zhongxian's lips curled into a meaningful smile. He did not expect Prince Xin to be so greedy at such a young age.
This was for the best!
"Thank you, Your Highness, for helping me out!" An official dressed in a third-grade official uniform rushed over and bowed to him to express his gratitude.
Zhu Youjian looked down and recognized him. It was the Left Imperial Censor, Zuo Guangdou.
"Minister Zuo is too polite!" Zhu Youjian smiled and helped him up.
When Wei Zhongxian saw this, his expression changed.
Zuo Guangdou was the censor of the Left Capital and was responsible for supervising the officials. He was in the limelight and had formed a clique with Yang Lian, Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong, and others. It was called the Donglin Party and was always against my family. It was a thorn in his side!
Now that His Highness Prince Xin is deeply favored by the Emperor, if he gets together with the Dong Lin Party, it will be extremely disadvantageous to our family!
Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian rolled his eyes and came up with a plan.
"Big partner, look, this western firearm can shoot three hundred steps. It's amazing!”The Emperor of the Apocalypse raised a musket and gestured with one of his eyes as Tang Ruowang instructed. He smiled and said," Why don't we get the Taixi monks to buy a batch and equip them for the border troops of Liaodong and the barbarians of the East Chamber?”
"Thank you, Lord!" Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed when he heard that. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to express his gratitude.
"Monk Tang, how much is this firearm worth?”The Tianqi Emperor felt that the word 'priest' was a mouthful, so he directly addressed Tang Ruowang as a monk and asked.
" Your Majesty, this firearm is Franky's latest smooth-bore flintlock. It's the most advanced weapon in the world, and it's only selling for 10,000 taels of silver each…"
Ten thousand taels of silver!
Zhu Youxiao, who was chatting with Zuo Guangdou, could not help but gasp when he heard this figure. Ten thousand taels of silver for a broken gun!
You're robbing me!
However, the Tianqi Emperor, who had grown up in the palace, did not seem to have any concept of ten thousand taels of silver. He was just about to open his mouth to buy a thousand sticks to play with when he saw his brother Prince Xin, Zhu Youjian, waving his hand at him repeatedly. He could not help but frown." Does my brother have any brilliant ideas?"”
"It's just a flintlock gun. It's not difficult at all. If the Taixi people can make it, then I, Da Ming, can naturally make it too!”Zhu Youjian bowed to the Tianqi Emperor." Your Majesty, please give me 100,000 taels of silver. I will guarantee that I can make 1,000 better guns within three months!”
"Agreed!" The Tianqi Emperor thought for a moment and nodded.
" I thought..." Wei Zhongxian saw that the firearms in his hands were about to be ruined, so he hurried forward. Just as he was about to say something, Zhu Youjian sneered," Could it be that Eunuch Wei's East Factory can also produce this kind of musket?" That's great. Give this king 1,000 to guard the house!”
