Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

The North Korean envoy didn't care about the others, and said first: "Dare to ask Mr. Meng, what is the order of the emperor? I will definitely devote all my efforts to complete it."

Seeing that North Korea, which has always been known as the most loyal dog, took the lead in expressing its position, the envoys of other countries also expressed that their countries must also follow the orders of the Holy Son of Heaven and must satisfy the Holy Son of Heaven.

Meng Shaoyu looked at the North Korean envoy, and said, "This matter has nothing to do with North Korea. Nowadays, there are many famines in various places in Ming Dynasty, and there are often crop failures. In order for the people not to go hungry, His Majesty specifically asked all countries to provide food for food. For offerings.

North Korea is located in a bitterly cold place in the Northeast. The Holy Son of Heaven has already ordered that if your country is rich, you can naturally sell more grain to Daming. If you are not rich, just complete the amount of tribute.

As for the Southeast Asian countries, Your Majesty ordered that they must raise more food.In addition to the tribute, Daming also paid for it with money. "

Many envoys originally wanted to cry poorly, but when they heard that Daming would buy it with silver, they said one after another: "Master Meng, please reply to the Holy Son of Heaven on behalf of the small country. There is a lot of food in the small country, so I will write a letter and return to the country to inform the lord of the country to prepare food. I just don’t know how much Daming needs?”

Another envoy said: "Master Meng, don't worry, how much food the Ming Dynasty needs, I will wait for the Fan Kingdom to prepare it with all my heart. The Lord of the Lower Kingdom has long said that our country should serve the Kingdom of Heaven with the father's service. Now the Holy Son of Heaven has an order. Up and down, we should do our best to raise food."

Meng Shaoyu thought for a while about Emperor Chongzhen's look of a hungry wolf with shining eyes when he talked about food, and he simply said: "The Ming Dynasty has a large land and a large population, and no amount of food is enough. Everyone, please write to all countries. Lord, more food is raised, the better."

After Meng Shaoyu came out from Honglu Temple and reported it back to Chongzhen, Chongzhen praised: "Okay, that's it. I'm only worried about not having enough food, and I don't care if there is too much. Anyway, I have a lot of people in Ming Dynasty, so I must be able to get it all." .

The food is a temple, and Aiqing and the Ministry of Households have a good handover, and the money can be used to buy it first, and the problem that the money can solve is not a problem. "

After Meng Shaoyu came out of the palace, Cao Huachun, the admiral of the East Factory, came to report a piece of news that made Chongzhen even more happy: "My lord, the children below are almost done according to the lord's instructions. If it is not a one-off If you eat too much or go for a special inspection, it’s hard to find out what’s mixed in.”

When Chongzhen heard this, he was even more happy, and quickly ordered Cao Huachun to lead the way to Dongchang.

Chapter 71 Shameful

When he arrived at the back hall of the East Factory, Chongzhen saw a big wooden box with its mouth open, and inside was a pile of white flowers, like a hill rising up.

After Chongzhen walked over, he stretched out some white powder on the ground and took a closer look. It was exactly the same as what he had seen before, and he couldn't help being very satisfied.

Originally wanted to have a taste, but the fear of death made Chongzhen dare not put this thing in his mouth.

After thinking about it, Chongzhen asked Cao Huachun again: "Are you sure no one will find out? Have you tried it?"

Cao Huachun said: "Returning to the emperor, the servant is willing to guarantee with the head of the item. In a short period of time, no one will find out. In the future, people will find out. It is just pushing a few dead ghosts out, absolutely not Involved in the country.

Also, this stuff has been tested.The slaves ordered the children to try it with pigs, sheep and death row prisoners, and there was no problem at all for a day or two.Only when a large amount of food is ingested, the problem will be revealed little by little. "

When Chongzhen heard the words, he said to Cao Huachun: "Those who participated in the matter, you look at the merits and rewards, and if you should spend it, you will draw it from the internal funds.

It's just that this matter must be kept strictly confidential, and the ministers in the court must not let it know, otherwise it will be sloppy again. "

After Cao Huachun bowed to answer, Chongzhen said again: "Let your sons from Dongchang form a caravan and wantonly smuggle and sell to the grassland and Liaodong Jiannu. You take my oral order and tell Lu Xiangsheng to let him let the merchants go." Team.

There is only one thing, you have sent someone to keep an eye on it, you must not sell this thing to the people of Daming.If anyone secretly sells it to the people of Daming to eat, I want his head! "

Hearing this, Cao Huachun thought about the plight of those prisoners who ate this food in large quantities, and couldn't help but shudder in his heart. He didn't dare to think about what would happen to the people of Ming Dynasty after eating this food. He didn't care to wipe off the cold sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly said : "Your maidservant must be staring at you! If anyone dares to commit a crime, this servant will peel off their skin with their own hands!"

After Chongzhen left Dongchang, Cao Huachun, who was still terrified, hurriedly summoned the head of the sub-class who was in charge of the matter.

Looking at the head of the sub class kneeling in front of him, Cao Huachun said: "You guys did a good job today, the emperor is very satisfied, and the reward will be withdrawn immediately. You little bastards have done the job well, but Even if it falls into the eyes of the emperor."

The head of the sub-class was overjoyed when he heard the words, and kowtowed: "Thank you for the cultivation of the ancestor! My grandson will definitely work hard from now on!"

Cao Huachun didn't pay any attention to the allegiance of the former, but said indifferently: "It's all on business for the emperor, of course you have to work hard.

However, the emperor still has a few words that he wants our family to tell you.After you go back, tell the brats below you, otherwise, if you run into the emperor's bad luck, think about the factory guards who were cleaned up before, no one can protect you. "

Hearing the words, the head of the sub-class felt a chill in his heart, and said: "Please show me the old ancestor."

Cao Huachun cupped his hands in the direction of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and then said: "The emperor said that he should be rewarded for his merits. But whoever sells these things with added ingredients to the people of Daming, the emperor will want his head.

The emperor is kind, but our family is cruel. If anyone dares to commit a crime, our family will bring disaster to our family. "

Hearing Cao Huachun's gloomy voice, Zi Ke hurriedly said: "Don't worry, old ancestor, grandson will beat the brats down there as soon as he returns home, and there will definitely not be a single bit of this thing appearing in the homes of the common people of Ming Dynasty."

Only then did Cao Huachun say with satisfaction: "It's very good, very good. You will benefit from doing business for the emperor with all your heart. After you go back, you will organize the people in your class to form a caravan and send these things to the grassland. Smuggled with Liaodong. Go.”

Cao Huachun heaved a sigh of relief after the subclass retreated.After thinking about it, he took a small bag, filled some of the powder, got up and said, "Let's go to Xuanfu."

And Lu Xiangsheng, who was far away in the Xuan Mansion, was also looking at the person in front of him after stepping away from the left and right.He knew the dead eunuch in front of him, but he couldn't figure it out. It was almost the Chinese New Year. Why didn't the famous Dongchang admiral Cao Huachun stay in the capital, but came to Xuanfu overnight?

The last time I came into contact with someone in the palace was Wu Tantou of the Internal Investigation Factory, the big Yin man who gave birth to a son without a butt eye, the supervisor of the East Factory, I am afraid it is more terrifying than that Wu Tantou.

After relaying Chongzhen's meaning, Cao Huachun said: "The emperor's meaning is like this. Does Mr. Lu know all about it?"

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Your Majesty's meaning, I already understand. I just can't figure it out, why let this caravan pass? After all, this salt has always been a material that the grasslands and Jiannu are in short supply, and its importance is not inferior to iron."

Cao Huachun said with a dark smile: "Master Lu, this salt is not ordinary salt. This kind of salt is mixed with lead powder. If you eat less, you can look at it every year, two years, or even three or five years." Nothing came out.

It's just that after a long period of time, I have eaten too much, and my skinny body is considered good. I'm afraid that the former hard-working man will become powerless.

Therefore, you have to pay more attention. Every time a caravan leaves the customs, it must be inspected carefully, and there must be no grain of salt left behind. Otherwise, it will be a poisonous legacy, and you and I will have to die to thank His Majesty for your grace. up. "

After listening to the experimental situation described by Cao Huachun, Lu Xiangsheng's heart tightened, and he secretly thought that the dead eunuch was really poisonous, no wonder all of these eunuchs lost their children and grandchildren.Unexpectedly, it was the emperor, why did he even use such a sinister trick?

In fact, as an old driver programmer who has been in countless post bars for later generations, there is no trick that he dare not use.He has seen more damage than this, and for Meng Yuan and Mi Qing, Chongzhen is even more eager for them to die, and his hatred is no less than his hatred for Japanese slaves.

After all, Meng Yuan's fourth-class people and Mi Qing were even more frenzied to enslave and rule, and he in later generations has seen countless black materials.

If it weren't for the lack of strength at this time, he would dare to get out of the concentration camp Zhazidong.

In fact, Chongzhen once again proved the law that human beings have no lower limit at all.

Because after arranging the smuggling of poisonous salt to the grasslands and Jiannu, Chongzhen recruited a group of dead eunuchs in the palace, ready to strike while the iron is hot, and then study some more vicious things to see what else can be mixed in for a long time. I can't feel it inside.

It wasn't until he found out that in Daming that there was indeed nothing easier to achieve than salt mixed with lead powder, Chongzhen left resentfully.

Fortunately, at this time Xu Guangqi had also come to the capital from the south and was waiting for Chongzhen's edict to see him.

Chapter 72 Confrontation

When Chongzhen saw the white-haired old man in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a wave of respect in his heart.

Xu Guangqi, who is already in his 60s, can definitely be considered old in this era.

It was such an inconspicuous old man who wrote "Nongzheng Quanshu" after retiring from the court, and died of illness in office after he wrote it.If half of the officials of the Ming Dynasty were of Xu Guangqi's type, what Jiannu and Little Binghe would all be scum.

Although Xu Guangqi is more than 60 years old, he still came all the way to the capital because of his revival edict to express his comfort or respect for the old man in front of him. Chongzhen still asked after ordering the seat: "I heard Xu Aiqing You are quite accomplished in Western learning, what do you think is better or worse?"

When Xu Guangqi heard Chongzhen's question about the knowledge he was most interested in, he immediately cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I will tell you what I am doing. Western learning is the essence.

The minister once observed the guns and cannons he made. Although the three-eyed firearms made by Zuma Daming are powerful, they are slightly better than the firearms made by our Ming Dynasty in terms of life expectancy and accuracy.The minister thought that this is the application of arithmetic, and I should learn it in Ming Dynasty.

What I learned in the Ming Dynasty was just biased towards the teachings of saints. In terms of these institutions, it is slightly inferior to Western learning.

However, the Xiyi did not pay much attention to education, and most of their people were without kings and fathers.The gods they believe in are also reckless, and they regard rituals and laws as nothing, which I think is not advisable. "

Chongzhen nodded. It turned out that Xu Guangqi was simply trying to learn from others' strengths, so he could clearly see their strengths and weaknesses.
