Song Yingxing almost jumped up. He thought about it for many years and had done many experiments to get the truth. How could this prince-in-law say it casually!

"How could the prince consort know..." Song Yingxing's voice trembled slightly.

When I was young, I knew it after seeing 100,000 whys. Zhou Shixian thought apologetically. Seeing Song Yingxing's shocked look, he thought to give him a double shock and firmly establish his tall image.

"I took it for granted." He said with a smile, "I wonder if you guessed it right?"

Song Yingxing nodded silently.

"Lucky," said Zhou Shixian, "But when Mr. Song talks about the battlefield, I have something I want to ask Mr. Song for advice."

"Please speak for your son-in-law."

"Since the sound is like a wave and is spreading in the air, can Mr. Song know, what is the speed of this sound transmission?"

"I don't know," Song Yingxing shook his head and said, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked anxiously: "Does the prince consort know?"

"I don't know the exact number, but I know that the lead from the comb-rope is about the same speed as the sound transmission."

"Is that true?" Song Yingxing's understanding of the speed of sound became vivid. "Mr. Concubine, how did you know this?"

"I once watched my soldiers fire their guns in the Buzhoushan Camp. The target was set twenty meters away," Zhou Shixian explained. "When using the Ottoman Lumi gun to shoot, the lead is the target first, and then the sound of the gun is heard. When using the Lumi gun imitated by the Military Bureau of the Ministry of Works, the sound of the gun is heard first, and the lead is the target then the target."

"So that's what it is..." Song Yingxing lowered his head and murmured, "The speed of sound transmission is between the two, interesting and interesting."

After saying that, he raised his head and said sincerely: "The prince consort is a talented man! I didn't think anyone could understand this book, but I just wanted to be self-righteous. I didn't expect that there was a mountain with a high mountain!"

"It can be seen that I am not alone, right?" Zhou Shixian laughed, "Why would Mr. Song stay in the capital? Can you always think about it and discuss it with your fellow friends?"

"Apart from the prince consort, I dare not be the second person to think."

"There is a Johnson Cho..."

Before Zhou Shixian could finish his words, his eyes lit up when he saw Song Yingxing.

"Mr. I know that this person is a Jesuit priest. Did he come to Nanjing too?" Song Yingxing asked excitedly, "I heard that his numerology is extremely exquisite, and he studied the most profoundly in the celestial calendar. He also has some knowledge of various subjects. The principle of seclusion should be above me."

"Yes, he is in the capital at this moment. You are all fellow fellows. I think you can appreciate each other." Zhou Shixian smiled, "I am just trying to ask for an imperial edict to establish a one hundred craftsmanship and technology research office. I ask you two to take charge together. How could Mr. Song have any intention?"

Song Yingxing stood up and bowed deeply.

"Song Yingxing has a broken body, so I will be willing to give advice to the prince-consort!"

When Song Yingxing had such an attitude, Zhou Shixian felt relieved and could wait for Mr. Li's return with peace of mind.

He did not wait long. The next day, Li Banghua, who had already resigned from Huaifu, arrived in the capital. He was summoned by Chongzhen alone for two consecutive days.

Rumors that the emperor was about to form a cabinet have been quietly circulated in the capital. Many officials who like to rush to camp have smelled the smell and are already trying to walk. Unfortunately, Li Banghua closed his door to greet guests in his apartment, and no one saw him.

Zhou Shixian thought to himself that even the palace was in the palace, he could not keep the secret. When he was in Beijing, if he had told Chongzhen about his plan in advance, he would probably not even be able to go out of the gate of the Forbidden City.

On the third day, the imperial edict finally came down, and Li Banghua entered the cabinet as a Grand Secretary of Wenhua Hall, Shi Kefa entered the cabinet as a Grand Secretary of Wuying Hall, Ni Yuanlu entered the cabinet as a Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Hall, and Gao Hongtu entered the cabinet as a Grand Secretary of Dong Pavilion.

In other words, there are currently four people in this cabinet, with Li Banghua as the chief assistant and Shi Kefa as the secondary assistant.

Zhou Shixian was very impressed by Chongzhen's arrangement for forming a cabinet this time.

First of all, Chongzhen would rather leave the cabinet empty at the beginning than rush to select personnel. Until the prince-consort's mansion took action, defeated Liu Zeqing and achieved a great victory, which was enough to deter those military officials who were neglecting the power of the monarch. He also sent Jinyiwei to investigate Wanxiu Garden with lightning speed and moved four relatives to Fengyang circumnavigation. The relatives and nobles in the court were silent for a while.

When Chongzhen was missing, the civil and military ministers in Nanjing divided into two factions to support Fu and Lu, and the battle was very fierce. Later, when something happened to Fu King, the faction that supported Lu was mainly Donglin. At first, he felt gloating and could read other people's jokes. Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, King Lu was also led in. All of them were not morally ill and mistakenly intervened in bandits, so everyone was in danger of supporting Lu.

Under such circumstances, once the list of the cabinet was released, not only did no one dare to object, but everyone also felt that this was a long time to stabilize the political situation and a new chapter was opened. It seemed that the past was no longer necessary to be investigated.

Among these four people, Li Banghua is both respected and has enough reputation. He is also a hero who protects the south. He has just made great contributions in Huai'an and is expected to be the chief minister.

With Shi Kefa's background, Donglin has a strong color, and serving as a secondary assistant in the cabinet is a good balance.

As for Ni Yuanlu and Gao Hongtu, both of them have neutral positions and are capable ministers in doing things. Especially Ni Yuanlu, serving as the Minister of Revenue, actually broke Taizu's legacy of "Zhejiang people are not allowed to take charge of the Ministry of Revenue", which shows how powerful it is.

Therefore, as soon as this list was released, both the government and the public said they were satisfied and praised the Long Live the Holy Spirit.??

Li Banghua and Ni Yuanlu both entered the cabinet. Of course, there were many people coming to congratulate him. This time, there was no need to thank the guests behind closed doors, and they all came to socialize. However, when they encountered the invitations for the dinner to be held today, they refused because there were already arrangements.

When it was getting dark, two sedan chairs were carried into Li Banghua's mansion one after another. Zhou Shixian and Ni Yuanlu got out of the sedan chair one after another. Seeing Li Banghua coming out to greet him, the three of them looked at each other and smiled.

When the Lanlanes were held, several followers set up the food and food and left, knowing that these three most popular civil and military officials today had private words to say.

But the three of them didn't say anything at first, and they clinked three glasses of wine together, each tilted their heads and drank them, and then they let out a long sigh. The story that began in the thrilling night in Beijing seemed to have come to an end at this point.

"Mr. Concubine, what are your plans next?" Li Banghua asked.

"I have too many plans." Zhou Shixian said with a smile.

"You might as well tell me." Ni Yuanlu asked with interest.

"Dorgon gathered 140,000 soldiers from the Eight Banners of Manchu, Mongolian and Han and Liaodong, and confronted Li Zicheng's more than 200,000 people in the Miyun area of ​​Tongzhou. This battle will determine who belongs to Beijing. Even if the Manchu soldiers lose and withdraw from the pass, they will only return to their nests temporarily to avoid people's injuries. If they cannot use thunder to eliminate the roots, they will eventually make a comeback."

"Zhang Xianzhong is still entrenched in Shu, causing great harm. If it cannot be eliminated, the people in Shu will be in danger of being in the sky."

"Zuo Liangyu is in Huguang. Although there is no sign of rebellion, the separatist rule has been established. Fortunately, 50,000 generals of Bai Wang, a general under the treacherous, confronted him, which made him not dare to act rashly for a while. It was just a long time. If there is no countermeasure, it would be a big trouble in his heart."

"Although Zheng Zhilong from Fujian was recruited, he actually listened to the command and not to the Xuan. The area of ​​Minhai is still not in the world. Fortunately, his eldest son is still young, named Damu. He is currently studying at the Imperial College where I am overturning Zhoushan camp. I heard that he is a talented person. If one day Zheng Zhilong had three long and two shorts and followed it with Damu, the situation might be different."

"Liu Liangzuo, Jiangbei, still led tens of thousands of troops, hiding evil intentions. If I don't go for a day, I will feel at ease. Gao Jie, the general secretary, acts violently and impermanently, and disturbs the people very much. If he does not subdue him and completely destroys his arrogance, something big will happen one day."

"The current tax source of the imperial court is in Jiangnan. Although it is still called wealthy, the trend of offering is getting stronger and stronger, and the number of taxes is owed more and more. If there is no pain in reorganization, how can we continue? We can't live by raiding our homes every day."

"My military soldiers in the palace are just in the form of a prototype and are far from being trained. The military farming system of the Five Army Governor's Office has long been ruined, and most of them have been seized by the officials of the garrison, so military farming must be clear, and the military system cannot be changed."

"Mr. Concubine, you are indeed worried about the world." Li Banghua and Ni Yuanlu looked at each other, "But I will add one for you."

"What?"

"You are the princess in the dynasty." The old man said with a smile, "Now there is a princess in the palace and a red leaf in the palace. What are you planning to do?"
