Ming dynasty grand dude

Jiang Chao, Jiang Tianxin, Xu Tingguang and Xu Benqian are all talents of the Hanlin Academy.

Tang Yin, Tang Bohu, Xu Jing and Xu Heng's father are also people who have fallen into His Majesty's eyes now, and they will definitely be used in the future.

Needless to say about Li Zhaoxian and Li Zhengbo, it is said that his talents and learning have been greatly improved under the guidance of Qian Fuqian and Qian Yuqian!

Even Xie Muzhai, Zhang Baiya and other senior ministers who were born as top scholars praised the strategy and theory written by them.

It is said that if the subject is opened in the future, this student will be the number one scholar!

At this point, the two palaces looked at each other, made a decision, and decided on this matter, so let's do it!

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Jian, a cabinet scholar, stood up and reported the Shaanxi earthquake.

It was also reported that the local area was severely affected by the disaster, and the grain production would be cut off, and there was no way to support it after the disaster.

Li Dongyang then stood up and said that the Guochao branch should lead the refugees to the capital for resettlement.

At this time, Zhu Fu, the Duke of Cheng, reported that the nobles of the court heard that the earth dragon in Shaanxi had turned over and the treasury was empty, and it would be difficult to rescue them, so they dared to worry.

"Mandarin Yueyu Xia" has a saying that "the king worries about the work of his ministers, and the king humiliates his ministers to death." How can we not repay the great favor of the royal court? !

Therefore, each family has decided to donate to His Majesty and the country, and the money paid by each family has become an account book.

After the court, please ask the household department and the internal treasury to withdraw the donated silver from each house according to the account books.

The court hall together with Liu Daxia, Ma Wensheng and the officials from various ministries widened their eyes and meowed in disbelief? ?What kind of crazy operation is this? !

This group of rich and powerful relatives who want to pick their buttocks and suck their fingers have changed their temper now? !

Or after being severely cracked down by His Majesty last time, all of them have been enlightened? !

Before they could react, the British Duke Zhang Mao came out again and said that although the grandson of the old minister's family is not very successful, he also knows that he is worried about the country.

So I asked the old minister to act on my behalf, and I asked my majesty to go to greet the victims of the disaster so as to reassure the people.

Emperor Hongzhi looked solemn, sitting on the dragon chair and said that the idiot really lived up to my praise!

Another internal official came to report that both the Empress Dowager and the Queen said that in order to relieve His Majesty and the country's worries, they had ordered the two families of their relatives to donate to His Majesty.

Hearing these words, Emperor Hongzhi was almost moved to tears. It was immediately clear who was from his own family and who was from outsiders!

However, seeing that Emperor Hongzhi hesitated to take it, he directly ordered Xiao Jing and the cabinet to prepare a decree.

Before he was ordered to return to Beijing to report on his duties, Fang Xinzhi, the censor and local chronicler, should be promoted by Tianfu to temporarily take the post of "imperial envoy and governor-general of Shaanxi relief envoy".

Dai Yi, the eunuch who supervised the ceremonies, was appointed as the supervisor of the army, and Zhang Lun, the chief teacher of the Royal Military Academy of the Ming Dynasty, was appointed as the deputy.

Superintendent of military affairs, relief, response, and resettlement of victims of disasters.

Leading this palace examination, the new subjects Jinshi, the martial arts examinations and the Beijing Camp One will go to welcome the victims of the disaster in Shaanxi to Beijing for relief.

At the same time, all areas along the route were ordered to support the needs of the victims. After the arrival of the victims, the government reduced or exempted taxes and replaced them according to their consumption.

The word "imperial envoy" in front of the title has existed in the Xuande period, such as "imperial envoy, governor of the army", "imperial envoy, inspector".

Since Xuande, the division of labor of imperial envoys has become more detailed and specific.At the same time, they are all crowned with the word "imperial envoy" to show that they are under the imperial order.

In the Qing Dynasty, the four characters of "imperial envoy" that we are familiar with were formed, such as Lin Yuanfu who sold cigarettes in Humen.

The title he received at that time was "Imperial Envoy Minister of the Ministry of War Shangshu Inspector Censor Right Inspector Censor", um... very long.

Ma Wensheng, Liu Daxia and others were immediately dumbfounded when they saw this. Ordinarily, the governor of the interior was elected by the Ministry of Officials in conjunction with the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The border governor was elected by the Ministry of Officials in conjunction with the Ministry of War by default. However, Emperor Hongzhi didn't even go through the process this time and let the cabinet draft an order.

Even the three great scholars of the cabinet, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, Zhong Zhong, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Bai Ang, and the new Minister of Rites, Zhang Sheng, all praised him without objection.

Ni Yue, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Zeng Jian, who was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry last year, remained silent. They obviously saw that there must be something inside the matter of honors and honors donating.

Nowadays, the most honorable person in the country is undoubtedly the British public, and Cheng Guogong may be able to speak.

But if you want to say that the one who responds to all calls and all the nobles are convinced, only the British public ear.

So these nobles suddenly donated money to relieve the victims, it must be the handwriting of that idiot from the British government.

People promote this matter and don't hesitate to personally relieve and resettle the victims, so what's there to stop? !

Although the national treasury now has a little money, the empire is leaking everywhere and has to spend money everywhere!

What's wrong with someone who is willing to spend money and go to pick up the victims in person? !

Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia stopped talking, and now their right to speak in the court has become extremely small.

It is inevitable that the Ministry of War will be gradually cut down, so what else can Ma Wensheng say? !

Liu Daxia, the left governor and censor, is basically a polished commander now, and his subordinates are either building barracks outside the city or mining in Yizhou.

He was even less in the mood to say anything, and he made several memorials hoping to supplement the censor.

However, they were all left out, which means that it is very clear that His Majesty thinks that this censor = shit.It's better to be gone.

Young Master Zhang didn't care about the disturbances in the court, he was already instructing the first batch of foundry craftsmen to pour the copper cannons that were being tested.

As early as the Warring States period, Huaxia had widely adopted the clay mold casting process, and even developed iron mold and investment casting.

But what Zhang Xiaogong wants to do now is a process that did not appear until the [-]th century, and was later commonly used in the foundry industry-sand casting!

The clay casting method was very good at the time, but there were still problems with fluidity, air permeability, density, etc. when it was cast.

Bubbles and even potholes will appear in the cast cannons. This is what Mr. Zhang needs to solve now.

2 Chapter [-] The capital is preparing for it in many ways, Yan Ran please go to pick up the victims

Anyway, the little father-in-law was also a soldier in his previous life, although he never played hb or botn.

But this does not prevent him from developing a great interest in ancient armor, swords and cold weapons because of fighting games.

If the little father-in-law has always been a scumbag running around for his life, then most of this kind of interest can only stay in the interest.

However, the little father-in-law worked hard together with Brother Chunán, so there is no shortage of money.

Just like Brother Chunán, we earn money for enjoyment!

So naturally he spends a lot of time on his hobbies, which is why he has some knowledge about casting and smelting.

But this is limited to a little understanding, after all, the young man is not a metallurgist, is he?

At most, he remembered clay sand molds, oil sand cores, oil quenching, salt water quenching... and other techniques, but he was dumbfounded by the specific ratio and process operation.

This is also the reason why the little father-in-law said that he would invest a lot of money to operate this matter. The only way to know the specific ratio is to keep experimenting.

On the other hand, the young man ordered Jiang Chao and Xu Tingguang to lead people to look up the reprinted ancient books at Xu Jing's house during the day, looking for useful records from them.

In the evening, the craftsmen in charge of the experiment were taught to read, and then the records were given to them.

The literate children of Zhangjiazhuangzi followed behind these craftsmen, constantly recording the experimental data, material ratios, and operation methods.

Fortunately, although there are very few records in the ancient books, there are some experiences and records of the predecessors after all.

For example, Qi Wuhuaiwen's Guangang method in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, although there are few records about Qi Wuhuaiwen, at least his experience is recorded.

Then it is quite useful "Kao Gong Ji", which contains more records. "Xunzi Strong Country" mentioned some.

But these are all works from the Warring States period, and later, "Qi Min Yao Shu" and "Mengxi Bi Tan" recorded a small part in bits and pieces.

The more he looked at the little father-in-law, the angrier he became, and he kept scolding Goubi for being too heavy-handed!

After the Warring States Period and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the technical and technological innovations recorded in this record are almost all random records, and they are completely ignored.

Instead, it is a bunch of nonsense, nonsense and special books. "Salt and Iron Theory" is the most important example.

There is a small amount of Sang Hongyang's claims mentioned in it, and some smelting and casting technologies are also mentioned.

But the big pages are full of all kinds of bragging for those dog-criticized "virtuous literature", and the nonsense of those dog-criticized "virtuous literature" is useless!

Why don't you record more smelting and casting materials at that time, if you record more, you won't be so hard!

Almost all of them are studying this and that, and the records about technology come and go, which is frustrating.

These craftsmen are divided into several groups, and they are constantly experimenting with casting new cannons.

It's just that now it's not casting a large artillery, but a small breech-mounted rapid-fire gun that weighs tens of kilograms.

On the one hand, this kind of experimental product will consume much less material, and secondly, if it is suitable, a small cannon weighing several tens of kilograms can be installed on a tank.

In fact, the casting technology in ancient China is not bad. The thickness of the inner gate of the unearthed Han Dynasty stack casting model is only 2 to 35 mm.

This shows that precision can be achieved to a certain extent, so the first thing Zhang Xiaogong did was to unify the measurements first.

I have to say that almost every dynasty in China has a measurement method, which is really fucking.

The unearthed Warring States ruler is about 22 to 23, and the Han Dynasty actually ranged from 21 to nearly 24.

In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it rose to 29-30, and it was directly 311 in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

"No... Sister Yanran, what are you doing with me?!"

The little father-in-law returned to the thatched cottage, and Zhang Yanran, who had been playing with Miss Miao'an and Miss Ashikaga Crane in the thatched cottage recently, came to him.

After Zhang Yanran arrived in the capital, the old Duke personally took her to the side branch to worship her ancestors and become a naturalized citizen.

If you say that the old Duke is such a Jianghu old Ye Xiao, he can tell at a glance that Sun'er's apprentice, Tang Bohu, is flirting with this Yanran girl.

On the contrary, Miss Yanran brought a girl who was a jàochun lady along with her, but Tang Bohu also had a good chat with this girl.

"Young master, don't look down on people!"

Zhang Yanran was immediately annoyed, and said angrily to the little father-in-law, "The medical skills of my concubine and my sisters are also praised by Xinglin and the common people in Jinling!"

Seeing that Zhang Yanran was really annoyed, the little father-in-law quickly bowed to her and accompanied her with a smile.

"Sister, you know that Chihu is not questioning the medical skills of the sisters. It's really a long road and a long road..."

Zhang Xiaogong said very sincerely, if he could, he wouldn't even take Ji Wu generals with him.

But those Wujia women are not willing, they almost committed suicide just now.

The little father-in-law was so scared that he had no choice but to give up, but he still prepared chariots and horses for them.

"Young master, don't worry, the sisters often go to the countryside for free consultations!"

Seeing this, Zhang Yanran smiled and said a blessing to the little father-in-law, although her voice was soft but firm, "Go and pick up the victims, you need a doctor!"

Young Master Zhang really couldn't bear the suffering of these ladies and sisters with him, so he had to persuade them later.

At this time, Tang Bohu, who came with Zhang Yanran, bowed and bowed down, "Master, don't try to persuade me anymore, Yanran and Chunniang will definitely go."

Fuck!Your kid has not been married yet, so he turned his elbow out!

Zhang Yanran heard Tang Bohu's words, and when she looked at the little father-in-law's eyes, her face turned red.

And that Chunniang who was looking around at the door even disappeared in a flash.

"Just go!" Seeing this, Young Master Zhang waved his hands helplessly, "You need to protect them along the way, and don't leave them for a while!"

Tang Bohu hurriedly bowed and said yes, while the young man pondered for a while and wrote a note with his seal on it for him to take to housekeeper Xiao Zhou.

Since everyone agrees that Yanran and the others will help, it is natural to be ready.

Originally, Grandpa Zhang also considered asking housekeeper Xiao Zhou to find some doctors and let them go to the disaster area to help.

Now that he has his own family, it is of course better.The note I wrote was to ask housekeeper Xiao Zhou to withdraw the money, and let Yanran and the others go shopping.

The new subjects Jinshi have now received imperial orders from the imperial court, and all of them are concentrated in the examination tribute courtyard for preparation.

Veterans with experience in flood control and disaster relief were invited to tell these new scholars how they relieved disasters and how to care for the people.

Not only the explanation, but also need to let them make their own statements, draw up the priority and make preparations...

Mr. Zhang was not idle either. The Beijing camp selected a thousand elites and found military tents, camp tents, marching pots, etc. from the arsenal department.

Chapter 241 The Times builds momentum and builds the Shrine of Loyalty

The wind knows the strength of the grass, and the toughness knows the honest minister. This is the latest commentary of the Imperial Times.

The comments above are about the two palaces and nobles, who have heard about the situation of donations and relief for the disaster in Shaanxi.
