My Daming New Empire

"One is that I want to take back my dog's concubine, Zhao Shi. She is a dog's concubine after all. Once this happens, it will damage his reputation. From now on, I will strictly discipline him and make him treat Zhao better."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "Zhao's body is full of scars. He came to Beijing from Taihe for [-] miles, and he walked on two feet. This is not as good as a maidservant. How can I make up for her?"

Yang Shiqi was at a loss for words, it's not easy for him as a father to intervene in this kind of matter between husband and wife!

He paused and then said: "Young minister left home at a young age, unable to serve his mother, and later left a good wife and two sons in his hometown to perform filial piety on behalf of the minister. He did not fulfill the responsibility of being a father. Now that the child is grown up, the minister does not know how to deal with himself. , I would like to ask His Highness to take care of me on my behalf."

This old fox really showed its tail.In fact, he didn't care about that little concubine, Mrs. Zhao, what he cared about was the second request.

Zhu Zhanji rejected the first one, but he was embarrassed to refuse the second one.As for sending his son to Zhu Zhanji, who is in full swing, as long as he doesn't do anything wrong, it's no problem to find a good job in the future.

However, he handed over his son to Zhu Zhanji, which also meant to take refuge, so Zhu Zhanji only thought about it for a while, and then agreed.

"After he has served this month's hard labor, let him report to the Young Army!"

Chapter 5 Big Marriage (Shake Your Head and the Leader Adds [-])

Time has entered September, and the good news continues one after another.

First of all, the die-casting of silver coins was officially launched.The warehouses of the internal prison first transported all the silver from all over the country to the capital, and all the silver coins were die-cast in Jiajiang.

Starting from September, Zhu Di officially issued an edict that from now on, the imperial salary and internal treasury transactions will all be traded in silver coins.

Merchants can transport the silver in stock to the yamen in the inner treasury and exchange it for silver coins for free.And the tax is paid in silver coins, and the fire consumption will no longer be collected from now on.

It is still the early Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Juzheng has not implemented a whip method, so fire consumption has not yet become the main method for officials to collect money.

Today's fire consumption is mainly aimed at merchants, not farmers, because farmers basically pay taxes in kind.

Therefore, for this edict, the merchants are particularly supportive.

The commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty was set by Zhu Yuanzhang to pay one out of thirty, which can be described as very low.The fire consumption that the tax collectors put in front of the merchants accounted for more than half of the tax revenue.

Therefore, the merchants are the most supportive of this edict.

In just a few days, the 100 million silver coins forged by the Banking Bureau were exchanged.

At this time, the businessmen found it inconvenient again.

Because the original official silver is one ingot, the merchant can use a pair of scissors to cut it out for zero payment.But now Zhu Di's profile picture is on it, who dares to cut it and try it!

In order to facilitate circulation, the Ministry of Industry and the Banking Bureau are discussing to die-cast a half-two silver coin, and then make a large copper coin that can be used as a ten-cent coin.

What makes Zhu Zhanji even more happy is that after Ma Zhicai's research, he made sand sticks that can be polished, and then made the corresponding fixtures.

Now, the construction of seamless barrels can be carried out on a large scale.

When Zhu Di saw the polished barrel, he couldn't put it down.Without the danger of bombing, the power of the musket can be upgraded by a level.

For this reason, Zhu Di sent people to hurry up and recall Liu Sheng, who is now stationed in Beiping, and wanted to start a large-scale refit of the Shenji Camp.

Zhu Zhanji applied to Zhu Di to change all his guard battalion Habayashi Guards. After thinking about it, Zhu Di agreed to change into Habayashi Zuo Guard first.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Zhu Zhanji, but that as an emperor, he must consider the balance of power in the capital.

However, he also promised that when Zhu Zhanji goes to sea, he will try his best to change all the right guards.

In the past, the most difficult thing in the production of muskets was the making of the barrel. Even for a skilled hand, it would take at least three days to make a barrel.

The current matchlock gun is a steel pipe fixed on a wooden support, and then ignites and shoots.It can be said to be extremely simple, as long as you have a gun barrel, you can replace the entire army in large quantities.

For this reason, Zhu Di rewarded Ma Zhicai once again, making him Viscount Wuzhong.

From a craftsman to a nobleman with a lifelong title, Ma Zhicai's deeds have also inspired the enthusiasm of countless craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry.

Now the research institute in Xiamaqiao, all departments are trying their best to make new breakthroughs in their own research and development projects.

However, during this period of time, Zhu Zhanji was rarely able to leave the palace, because he had to prepare for his wedding.

The Xingqing Palace where he lives now is originally the largest building area in the palace, and it was not built for a long time, so there is no need for renovation.

But in order to welcome his wedding, the Ministry of Rituals, the internal eunuchs, and the concubines in the harem were all enthusiastically busy, wanting to contribute to this matter.

Even the empresses and concubines of Zhu Yuanzhang's period who hid in the West Palace and usually stayed out of the gate, all walked out of the palace gate at this time to give ideas for Zhu Zhanji's wedding.

On September [-]th, all the clothes for Zhu Zhanji's wedding had been made, and it took a whole day just to try on various clothes.

He thought about the troubles of ancient people getting married, but he didn't think of such troubles.And at this time, everything must follow the rules, and no one listens to his great-grandson's words.

September [-]th is the day of Nazheng, which is the etiquette of giving gifts.

Zhu Zhanji wanted to marry one concubine and two good concubines at the same time, so there were three envoys and three envoys each.

The official wedding envoy who went to Sun Xian's house to deliver the dowry gift was Zhu Zhanji's uncle Zhang Chang, and the deputy wedding envoy was Lu Zhen, the servant of the Ministry of Rites.

The official wedding envoy who went to Lan Yan's house to deliver the dowry was the second uncle Zhang Sheng, and the one who went to Hu Shanxiang's home to deliver the dowry was Xu Jingchang, Duke of Dingguo, and the two deputy envoys were the left and right servants of the Ministry of Rites.

Although it was just a ceremony, it was held with great grandeur.

Sun Zhong, the concubine of the grandson, and her father, Sun Zhong, were granted the title of Uncle Huichang, who was granted the title of governor of the Chinese army, and was rewarded with [-] lands.

Liangdi Hu's father, Hu Rongguan, Guangluqing, Hushi General, the governor of the Chinese Army, and the governor's office, gave him fifty pieces of land.

Because of the death of Liang Di Lan's parents, grace was bestowed on her two younger brothers.The eldest brother Lan Ju was awarded the title of Fuguo Lieutenant, and the second brother Lan Shuo was awarded the title of Fengguo Lieutenant.Although it is only the lowest rank of title, it is somehow separated from the status of a citizen.

And because their family has no one to rely on, they enjoy a lot of land in Lishui, not far from the capital.

After accepting the levy, Zhu Zhanji's wedding became more and more intense.According to the usual practice, Zhu Zhanji also spent his own money, and invited dozens of theater troupes in the capital to sing a big play for a month on the public stages of various neighborhoods.

This can be regarded as another version of having fun with the people. Anyway, it is to let everyone know that the grandson is going to get married.

In the open space between the three main halls of the imperial palace and the Xingqing Palace, a large ceremony platform was also set up for the convenience of the clan, nobles, and ministers to watch the ceremony.

The day before the wedding, Zhu Zhanji had to bathe and purify his body as usual, and worship the Taimiao and the Heaven and Earth Altar.

On the tenth day of October, before dawn, the eunuchs in the palace began to get busy.They are going to set up the throne at the place where the wedding will be held, make cases, festival cases, halogen bo, color jade and so on.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites are also responsible for placing the gifts from local officials and envoys from various countries on the steps of the wedding hall so that everyone can see them.

At dawn, Zhu Di put on his mianfu and took his seat in the Fengtian Hall. Civil and military officials were required to wear court clothes to salute.

Zhu Zhanji also wore the emperor's grandson's mianfu, bowed three times and nine times to Zhu Di, and then bowed three times and nine times to Zhu Gaochi.Today, not only Zhu Zhanji was able to enter the Fengtian Palace, but even the imperial concubine Zhaoyi and the Crown Princess Zhang were given seats to accept Zhu Zhanji's kneeling.

The work of marrying was performed by the principal and deputy envoys at the time of Nazheng. The principal and deputy envoys had to bow down to the emperor four times, bow down to the prince three times, and bow down to Zhu Zhanji once.I don't know what the allusion is to such a particular.

Then they took the case, set the case, and went out from the middle door of the hall, followed by the dowry.
