Chapter 269 Daming Royal Cement Company
"Kill the captives and sacrifice the flag to the loyal martyrs!" Several big Han generals with loud voices roared in unison when they saw the decree, and their voices were resounding, echoing over Fengtianmen Square.

With the sound of this cry, the white-armed army officer holding the broadsword raised the gleaming blade high, and swung it down one by one. Immediately, the heads of the Jianlu were separated from the body, and blood spurted from the neck cavity. .And the white pole army officer holding the money mouse tail raised Jianlu's head, as if holding a lantern, and showed it in the direction of Ming Zhonglie.

The soldiers of the Beijing camp holding the plaques of the Great Ming Loyalty walked solemnly along the road lined by Jianlu's heads, and walked slowly towards the Daming Loyalty Hall.Almost at the same time, those big Han generals shouted again: "Salute!"

All the soldiers, regardless of whether they were soldiers of the Baigan Army, soldiers of the Beijing Camp, or soldiers of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, all performed their own military salutes.The Emperor Chongzhen, civil and military officials, and the people who watched the ceremony paid attention and watched Daming Zhonglie walk slowly, on the bloody road, to the Daming Zhonglie Hall.

At this moment, no one felt cruel, and no one was too frightened to look at it.In their hearts, they have longed to see Jianlu be executed for a long time.Seeing it now, I can't wait to blink my eyes, and I look forward to imprinting this moment in my mind, and I will never forget it in the future.

In the following ceremony, every time Emperor Chongzhen made a move, he would gain countless achievement points. It was not until nearly noon that the ceremony was completed and he drove back to the palace.

The next arrangement is to open the Daming Loyalty Hall for ordinary people to worship.It is said that those who watched the ceremony were unwilling to leave, and formed a long line, waiting to enter the Zhonglie Hall to offer incense and visit along the way.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, you didn't see that the official of the Ministry of War was in charge of selling incense, and his face was full of joy..." Wang Chengen leaned next to Emperor Chongzhen, describing the situation in front of the Zhonglie Hall vividly , as if he saw it with his own eyes.

In this case, Emperor Chongzhen didn't even need to say anything, he could make a rough guess.He even dared to bet that the Ministry of Rites might issue a memorial later, saying that the Daming Loyalty Hall is a matter of the Ministry of Rites and should be in charge of the Ministry of Rites.

Thinking of this, his face was very indifferent, and he waved to Wang Chengen and said: "It's almost time, let the officials go to court!"

At noon, all the courtiers went to have lunch, took a short rest, and held another informal court meeting.In the capital, the imperial relatives, nobles, and civil and military officials of the fifth rank and above must participate.

There are two main informal court meetings this time, one is to seal the white pole army Qin Liangyu as Zhonglie Bo.At this time, the earl is still very valuable.

Qin Liangyu was still a woman, and she was conferred a title by the emperor. Even though she had fought battles for a long time, killed countless enemies, and experienced countless dangers, her heart was already strong, but at this moment, her eyes were red, and she knelt down, excited Di Zou said: "The last general is only a woman, what virtue and ability can make His Majesty value it so much. The last general is willing to be His Majesty's minion, to open eyes for the court, and to be loyal to the country!"

"Hehe!" Emperor Chongzhen smiled and stretched out his hand to signal, "Qin Qing, hurry up! Your meritorious deeds are obvious to all, and the word "loyalty" really matches! As I said, Da Ming is loyal to Da Ming, and Da Ming will not lose loyalty. Now I One more thing to add, anyone, as long as they contribute to the imperial court and the Ming Empire, I will not bear it!"

After hearing this, Qin Liangyu thanked him again and again before returning to the queue.Witnessing the scene in front of the Zhonglie Hall in the morning, and now hearing the emperor's statement, and receiving such a heavy national grace, let alone that she was originally loyal, even if she hadn't before, she must have it now.

In this way, after Man Gui, another earl appeared, which immediately made all the generals jealous.They knew that Emperor Chongzhen was really generous in his actions, that is to say, the subsequent new army will select the general with the most troops and will definitely fulfill the promise of the title.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced down, and found that all the generals in the queue seemed to be more energetic, with their heads raised and their chests raised, without squinting.

He didn't care about it anymore, looked down, and said loudly: "My cement, there are now two places, one is the Daming Zhonglie Hall, and the other is the Daming Central Bank..."

Upon hearing this, all the courtiers didn't know what the emperor wanted to say, but the topic was about the new thing of cement, and they were all very curious, so they listened attentively.

"The Great Ming Loyalty Hall has been opened, I believe you have seen it; the central bank of the Ming Dynasty has also been completed, and is now undergoing interior decoration, and it will be opened soon." Emperor Chongzhen paused for a while when he said this, let the following The courtier had an idea, and then continued, "The Daming Loyalty Hall must be strictly protected from water leakage, and the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty will store gold and silver in the future and print Ming paper money. It must be unbreakable. Building materials such as cement, It happens to meet these two requirements. Other than that..."

When the officials below heard this, their eyes lit up, and many officials began to consider whether to ask the emperor to reward the cement for use.

"Compared to wooden buildings, cement is also anti-corrosion, anti-moth, anti-rainwater cleaning, fast construction speed, high-rise building and other advantages. For what I said, you can experience it for yourself!"

The emperor said so, it must be true.

All the courtiers below, no matter those noble relatives of the emperor, or those civil servants and military generals, couldn't help but glisten. Since the emperor said such a good thing, is he going to reward the courtiers?If this is the case, then you have to ask the emperor for some!
Emperor Chongzhen looked at their expressions on it, and he could guess their thoughts at once. He couldn't help but sneered in his heart, but he kept his original expression on the surface, and continued to say slowly: "I don't want to cherish such a good thing. So it was decided to take out the cement..."

Upon hearing this, immediately, several princes and ministers were eager to try, and wanted to go out and ask for it first.

But Emperor Chongzhen clearly saw what they meant, so he sped up his speech and said loudly: "I have decided to establish the Daming Royal Cement Company to sell cement to the whole world, so that cement can be popularized in Daming and benefit the people!"

"..." All the courtiers were stunned when they heard this, they couldn't believe their ears, what do you mean, what does the emperor mean to establish, to sell cement?
Some erudite and talented officials immediately thought of Confucius' "Datong" and "Lici Zhuan" which said: "The public is the wealth of the number of people, and the manager is the meaning of operation." Zhuangzi also said: "The accumulation of evils is the highest, The way of combining small to become big, and merging to become public is called a company!"

Could it be that the company the emperor mentioned is this company?

　Thank you Qingyingdenglei for your reward!
