    Chapter 610: Roulette Fang Jie smelled the chicken soup in the bowl and couldn't help but praise it. The chicken soup was not greasy at all, because a lot of ingredients were added, and it smelled of a light fragrance.  While making chicken soup, Fang Jie saw Wu Yinyu scooping out all the oil floating in the soup and skimming it off. The soup was a light golden color, beautiful and delicious.  ¡°It¡¯s not easy to achieve such a level the first time you make it.¡± Fang Jie picked it up and took a sip before praising.  Wu Yiyi curled his lips: "I have been drinking for six days" Wu Yinyu blushed and lowered his head, not daring to look at Fang Jie.  "I didn't want to get involved in the matter between you two, but after all, Yinyu has already reached the age of marriage. I know that the women around you are all very good. Compared with them, Yinyu has no advantage at all, no matter it is  Appearance or knowledge But I am a father. I can't watch my daughter worry all day long and do nothing." Wu Daodao took a sip of wine and said lightly: "It's the same with the women around you, morning and night.  You have to give others a status, but this is what troubles me. You are the only one in Yinyu's eyes, so I don't even try to persuade her. If I interfere with this daughter in choosing a husband, she will also hate it.  Me. So have you ever thought about how to arrange it? " This question was quite direct, so Fang Jie immediately felt nervous.  He was silent for a while without speaking, and Wu Yinyu's face gradually darkened.  "Master Hou" Fang Jie took a deep breath, then raised his head and looked into Wu Daodao's eyes and said seriously: "Give me some time to think about these things. How come I don't know Yinyu's thoughts about me? It's just  Xiaoyao and Qingshan have been protecting me since I was young and have almost never been separated. I can't ignore them. Wanyan Yunshu left his hometown for me, and I can't ignore them But if I can't give Yinyu a name.  "I feel guilty." "You don't need to mention this. It's not like I didn't see it." Wu Yiyi paused and said, "But I will never agree to let my daughter be a concubine.  According to human rules, one is equal and the other is equal. As for concubines, don't even think about it. I have my own bottom line." Fang Jie nodded.  How could he regard these women as wives and concubines?  That¡¯s why it¡¯s difficult to arrange.  He knew that if he said it, Shen Qingshan and Mu Xiaoyao wouldn't even fight. They both took the status very lightly.  As for Wanyan Yunshu, she didn't even care. In her opinion, as long as she was with Fang Jie, she was already his wife.  But just because the three of them didn't care, it didn't mean that Fang Jie didn't care.  "Let's do this" Wu Yiyi saw that he was really in a dilemma. He smiled and said: "Even I can't tell how far you can go in the future. So it's a little early to mention wives and concubines. Anyway, now you  I am not in a hurry to launch troops on Beihui Road. There are no happy events in the camp to make the soldiers happy. Why not get engaged first, and I will be more generous let Yinyu, Shen Qing, Mu Xiaoyao and Wanyan Yun  "The four of us are getting engaged to you together. Although you don't follow the rules and respect the etiquette, you are not a person of etiquette, so you don't have to worry about it."  It is also his strength that he will not mess up these matters." Fang Jie glanced at Wu Yinyu, and then took her hand from under the table. He could feel that Wu Yinyu's hand was slightly cold.  He knew that she must have felt a little uncomfortable because he didn't give a straightforward answer just now.  This unruly and willful young lady has changed too much for herself.  ??Who among those who are well-known in the world would dare to think that the eldest lady would become as gentle and graceful as she is now?  Because of him, I actually went out of the kitchen and didn't even care about practicing.  After all, she is a genius in the field of cultivation. If she is willing to work hard, her achievements will definitely be high.  Wu Yinyu was held by Fang Jie and glanced at him subconsciously, but did not withdraw his hand.  "Okay!" Fang Jie nodded: "I have no parents, and I have no blood relatives. The Marquis is my elder. It is the elders who should make the decision in this matter. Everything is arranged by the Marquis." "That's good, that's good."  Wu Daodao laughed loudly: "Then let's do it like this. Doing this big happy event before mobilizing the troops can also improve morale. From tomorrow on, I will let the drunkenness and wealth go to work. With your current status, this matter can't be done."  We can't do it in a hurry, we have to do it smoothly. I'll go and discuss it with Luo Weiran tonight. You don't have any biological relatives, but you recognize him as your uncle after all. He is also your elder. He and I reluctantly  How about we manage these things legitimately?" "Okay." Fang Jie said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Hou." "I'll marry you.My son, how can I do it without hard work?  " Wu Yiyi drank all the wine in the cup: "Now that the matter is settled, you can choose a date and tell me and Luo Weiran.  In addition, you should also go to the workshop. I have asked businessmen from Dongchu to pick up Andrew and several Russian family members, but they are too far away and the news cannot be sent back. Is it possible to pick them up?  There are no guarantees either.  We still rely on these people when it comes to firearms, so you might as well go and have a look.  " Fang Jie thought of the tall Russian man who had expressed his love for Wu Yinyu, and understood how he missed and worried about his relatives. "I'll go take a look after the drink.  " Fang Jie nodded.      The firearms workshop was built in a valley in Zhuque Mountain, which is quite secretive. The entrance to the valley is guarded by the Riding School. Unless necessary, no one else is allowed to enter or leave at will. Now. The power of the firearm is not a great weapon, but it depends on how it is used. The Sui's workshop is extremely advanced, and the craftsmanship of the Liannu has reached its peak. In terms of rate of fire, the Liannu is worse than Andrew and the others. The long gun made was much stronger, but the range of the repeating crossbow was shorter than that of the long gun. But the muskets that the Russians were good at now had no advantage in range compared to the hard bows. Fang Jie was eager to let Andrew modify them. Although Andrew was very familiar with firearm manufacturing regarding the long gun's range and rate of fire, after all, his thinking had already formed a pattern and it was difficult to break through. Fang Jie asked Wu Yiyi to entrust Dongchu merchants to still look for experts in this field who were good at firearms. The people had to come from the other side of the sea to find them. When the Dongchu merchants presented the muskets to Emperor Yang Yi of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Yi just looked at them and threw them aside with disdain. In his opinion, the muskets were just playthings. Instead of weapons, the Sui Dynasty relied on horizontal swords, long spears, hard bows, and crossbows. He didn't like these fire-breathing things. Because the emperor didn't like firearms, he didn't like firearms. No one in the workshop develops firearms. But after so many years, Lian Nu's craftsmanship has reached its peak, and there is no possibility of improvement. Fang Jie is not from this era. He knows that since firearms have appeared on the other side of the sea, they have already appeared. If firearms are the main weapon, then sooner or later the countries there will make more and more progress in the development of firearms. If the Central Plains is still stuck in this way, in the long term, it will take hundreds of years, in the short term, it will take a few decades, maybe those blond and blue-eyed foreigners will be able to do it. They would appear on the coast of the Sui Dynasty with guns and cannons. The people of the Central Plains in this era had never experienced the pain of being invaded by foreign enemies, but Fang Jie knew that it was not only pain, but also humiliation. He didn't want the tragic experiences of his previous life to happen again to the Han people in the Central Plains. But Fang Jie knew that as humans continued to progress, the closed side would always be bullied by the advanced and open side, even if they tried their best to resist, under the influence of powerful technology. The resistance in front of him was so heroic but weak. At the very least, the Central Plains could not be allowed to lag behind those foreigners. After coming out of Wu Daodao's yard, Fang Jie went directly to the firearms workshop in the valley. He racked his brains along the way. He now regrets why he didn't study well in the past, so that no matter how hard he tried to recall, he was not an expert or scholar, or even a good student. He was just an ordinary person. There are not many things that helped him in his memory. He couldn't build cannons, warships, or even continuous-fire firearms. In his spare time, he didn't read various professional books, but played games. Reading novels, listening to music and watching movies can provide very little help.  But he knew that he couldn¡¯t stop doing it just because he didn¡¯t understand.  How many people give up their ideas because they don¡¯t understand, and end up regretting it.  Walking to the valley, the Xiaoqiu School who was guarding the passage saw Fang Jie approaching and saluted quickly.  Fang Jie nodded slightly, and walked into the valley for at least two miles before reaching the workshop. Fang Jie was still far away when he heard someone arguing in the distance, and the words were not in Chinese.  He frowned slightly and turned around a forest to find Andrew and the Russians quarreling fiercely.  It can be seen that Andrew was debating something alone with several other people. The craftsmen obviously reached an agreement, and Andrew tried to persuade and stop it.  "What's wrong?" Fang Jie asked the Xiao Riding School who was guarding outside.  "General, my subordinates don't understand what's going on." "Where's the translator?" "Over there" Xiaoqi Xiao pointed, and Fang Jie found that a Dongchu man who knew Russian and had been hired by Wu Dao with a lot of money was squatting aside.  Watching jokes, holding a cup of tea, and eating melon seeds, I look particularly relaxed and comfortable.??He would interrupt from time to time, and Andrew would glare at him fiercely.  Fang Jie walked over with his hands behind his hands. When the Dongchu man saw Fang Jie approaching, he quickly stood up and walked over quickly to say something to the Russians.  "What's going on?" Fang Jie asked.  The Dongchu people hurriedly laughed and said: "It's nothing, General. These people are quarreling about craftsmanship. They do this every day. Don't worry." "No!" Andrew said loudly in broken Chinese: "They  I don¡¯t want to continue working here and want to go home. I was trying to persuade them, but they were already weighing their hearts out and didn¡¯t listen to my advice at all.¡± Fang Jie was originally in a bad mood because of the behavior of the Dongchu man.  Hearing Andrew's words made me feel better immediately.  "Why do you want to go back?" Fang Jie asked.  The Dongchu man hurriedly asked for a translator. Fang Jie glanced at him and said calmly: "I don't need you, Andrew. Ask them for me." Among the Russians, only Andrew particularly liked the Central Plains culture, so he didn't learn it.  Others speak less Chinese and barely communicate with Chinese people.  "They feel that they have made a lot of money and can go home and live a comfortable life." Andrew said anxiously: "Although this is a lack of professional ethics, I know they really miss home. They  Their relatives are still in Ross, and they may still be bullied by the bullies. They can go back with the wages they earned, so" Andrew looked at Fang Jie, a little apologetically.  Fang Jie hummed and waved to the distance. Immediately, more than a dozen knights from the Riding School strode over. The faces of the Russians immediately changed when they saw the guards coming, and they all took a few steps back to look on guard.  The solution is as follows.  Fang Jie saw that one of them was touching the short gun beside his waist.  "Tear off the clothes of this Dongchu man, and give him a hundred whips first." Fang Jie ordered calmly, and the Xiaoqi riding academy immediately came over to hold the Dongchu man down, stood him up, and stripped off the clothes from his upper body.  I was so frightened that I struggled and asked why, begging for mercy from time to time.  Fang Jie ignored him and didn't even look at him.  The Knight Riding School held him down, and someone took a whip and struck him head and face.  Within thirty lashes, the man had already passed out.  Those Russians were so frightened that they looked at Fang Jie with fear in their eyes.  Fang Jie turned around, glanced at the Russian man who was holding a short blunderbuss and might pull it out at any time, and then slowly walked over. The man was so frightened that he backed away, but did not dare to draw the gun.  Fang Jie walked up to him, reached out and pulled out his short gun, looked at it, and then turned the muzzle of the gun to point at his left hand.  Bang!  The Russians immediately screamed in fright, and even Andrew squatted on the ground in fright.  Fang Jie opened his left hand and threw the flattened lead bullet in front of the Russian: "Andrew, tell them a few I have sent people to pick up your family members, and there will be news soon. But here  Before, I needed you to build something that could hurt me, but I don't like people breaking my rules. I know you Ross men will show your courage with roulette, and I respect you.  So solve the problem in your own way. If you insist on leaving, let's play roulette. If you lose, you stay. If I lose, you leave." Fang Jie turned around and told the Xiao Riding School: "Go and get five.  Ten short muskets, loaded with lead bullets." He smiled and said to the Russians, "Shall we shoot them all?" Andrew opened his mouth and thought, is there any point in gambling?
