Ming dynasty grand dude

The charcoal was not wasted either, and all of it was sent to the brick kilns and tile kilns outside the city for burning bricks and tiles.

Large-scale recovery of those yellow mud slags that have been completely burned by briquettes, after returning, they are all crushed and sieved, and then crushed and blended into cement in proportion.

It can be regarded as barely supplying the speed built on the dock.

The concrete straight along the pier is still being built, but this section of the pier is ready for use.

The pavements on both sides are also usable, and a bunch of people are furiously decorating.

At this time, the pier has not yet been used, and not many ships have even sailed here.

The upstream water is also cut off and a huge dam is being built.

Green bricks and cobblestones are laid under the rammed earth, which are then sealed with cement and covered with a layer of cobblestones.

The jack gate was slowly lowered, and several specially fired ceramic pipes were also started to be laid.

The influx of more than [-] disaster victims has brought a large number of available manpower, but at the same time it has also brought a large amount of material consumption.

Just the amount of food eaten every day is an astronomical figure, and the more than [-] people have to eat three thousand stones of food every day.

Why did Chen Jie and other big grain merchants dare to take this as a bet to break Young Master Zhang? !

This is what they rely on, and the consumption of more than [-] disaster victims in the capital is huge.

We must know that the resettlement of these disaster victims is a problem first, and after the resettlement, we have to take into account the huge consumption.

These people can wear simple clothes and poor accommodation, but what about food? !

Everyone has to eat, and what a person will do without food is completely unpredictable...

The price of food in the capital has risen to 15 taels a stone, even the well-informed old people in the capital who have gone through several dynasties are dumbfounded.

15 taels for one stone! !What is this concept? !

Even this stone of grain can buy an acre of good paddy fields!And if one mu of good paddy field has a good year, it can produce more than three or four hundred catties of grain!

Everyone felt that the capital was going crazy, the grain merchants were raising their prices, and the nobles were also raising their prices.

But the people in the capital looked at the grain merchant coldly, but no one held grudges against Yu Xungui.

The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the toughness knows the honest minister!

On weekdays, the nobles who were criticized by imperial courtiers, tribute students, Juren, and scholars were silently taking on the responsibility of feeding food at this time.

When the price of grain has soared to 15 taels per stone, the common people can still buy it with one tael of silver with the notes issued by Shuntian Mansion.

I don't know when it was, and everyone knows that those grain merchants are all famous masters!

There are even a few who are not only Jinshi masters themselves, but also have family members who are officials in the court!

For a while, the reputation of the courtiers and scholars who raised their sons fell to the bottom in the mouths of the people in the capital.

On weekdays, everyone likes to hear some stories about nobles bullying others, and to watch the scenes of Jinshi and masters severely punishing nobles.

This is because everyone subconsciously thinks that Jinshi, Juren, and Xiucai masters have also come out of us.

However, this time the price of grain in the capital skyrocketed, although everyone did not know that these grain merchants were the promoters.

But this does not prevent them from spitting at the shops of those Jinshi and Juren lords after buying their own rations from the grain shops of the nobles.

In the early morning of this day, Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng were already waiting in front of the palace gate.

The soaring food prices have cost a lot to buy food at home, and they already know this.

It's just that several memorials were left unpublished, and they didn't know what was going on.

What's even more strange is that the Imperial Academy kept silent about it and seemed to be unaware of it. Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng also contacted them.

I hope to present a memorial to explain this to Emperor Hongzhi. The price of food in the capital has skyrocketed to an unbelievable level.

However, these Hanlin people not only avoided talking about this matter, they even left without greeting them both with a haha ​​and a smile.

Only then did Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng know that the two of them who were once the leaders of Qingliu had been completely abandoned.

For a moment, the two old fellows felt sad, and they were determined not to reveal anything about the Jingyan debate.

To this day, when they think back to the cold eyes of Emperor Hongzhi that day, they can't help but shudder.

This matter is related to the rule of the royal family, the survival of the empire, and even the survival of the entire Chinese culture!

Who dares to make mistakes in this matter? !Who dares to divulge half of it? !

Although Yu Shizhong and Yu Shi did not add it, the servants who were imprisoned before did.

However, these were either transferred from the Six Ministries of Nanjing, or promoted from the chief envoy.

These people have no idea what happened in the previous experience debate, Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng can be sure without even thinking about it.

They have become the new leaders of Qingliu, and they are planning something.

In front of the gate of the imperial palace, the chariots and horses of the early court officials arrived one by one.

But the crowd was clearly divided into four groups.

Duke Ying, Duke Cheng, Duke Bao...the nobles stood together and whispered together.

Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Qi Zhong, Zhang Sheng... and the others divided into a group, also talking in low voices.

The rest of the servants and some members of the Imperial Academy stood together, they didn't speak but kept looking at the two parties.

But Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng, who were outside the three parties, seemed extremely desolate and desolate.

The former leader of the Qingliu in the country has now fallen to the point where no one even greets him in front of the palace gate.

"Quack quack..." The gate of the palace slowly opened amidst the shouts of the guards.

Everyone entered the palace in silence, and Emperor Hongzhi went to court with a big ceremony.

However, he had just sat down, even before Xiao Jing came out to proclaim the salute, the newly appointed Minister of War, Yao Shun and Yao Yike stood up and bowed.

"Chen, Yao Shun, the left servant of the Ministry of War! You have this book to play!"

"My lord, Zhang Lun of the British government is bewitching the court, disturbing the officialdom, buying people's hearts, messing up the government and ruining the country... the fifty major crimes!! Please kill this beast!!"

"Please kill this beast!!" However, seven ministers from various ministries and dozens of Hanlin all bowed down and roared loudly with angry eyes and round eyes!

Chapter 3 and Six: Zhu Youtang Hidden Needles in Mianli, Strong Muscles and Strong Bones Zhu Houzhao

Emperor Hongzhi, who was sitting on the dragon chair on the throne, seemed not at all surprised by the actions of these ministers and imperial officials.

Facing Xiao Jing who was standing in front of him with a calm expression, he said indifferently: "Banban Xiao, sing the salute."

"The minister obeys the order..." Xiao Jing bowed and said softly, then turned around and stood up with a long body full of qi, and a breath of qi rose from his dantian.

The internal officials who are able to be in charge of singing rituals are naturally also specially trained. It is called "singing" naturally because it requires "singing" skills.

When many film and television dramas in later generations interpret the internal officials, in order to highlight the characteristics of the internal officials, they will also deliberately make their voices thinner and sharper.

In fact, their daily speech is not so sharp, and when they show their sharpness, it is for singing rituals.

The voice needs to be sharp and penetrating, after all, the inner hall of the court is not small!Everyone who wants to sing can hear it, which is a test of basic skills.

"Your Majesty has a decree. If there is something to do, come and leave the court if there is nothing to do!!"

Those servants and Hanlin who were kneeling on the main hall stared blankly at Emperor Hongzhi and Xiao Jing, and they couldn't react for a while.

What is this operation? !Your Majesty, you don't follow the script!

Shouldn't you be furious at this time, or anxious to get angry? !

"The minister waits..."

In desperation, Yao Shun, the left servant of the Ministry of War, had no choice but to repeat it again, but the momentum couldn't be compared with just now.

"Okay, I got it."

Before he could speak, Emperor Hongzhi interrupted him boredly: "Pass me the playbook, I have my own idea."

These words made the minister and Hanlin speechless, but Yao Shun stood up angrily and shouted at Emperor Hongzhi.

"Your Majesty! These evil thieves have caused great chaos in the court, the atmosphere of the officialdom has deteriorated, and the people have been displaced... I ask you why you don't investigate!!"

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have a really good temper today, and asked Yao Shun softly with a smile.

"But Chi Hu'er is not in the court! How did the court get into chaos?!"

Yao Shun couldn't help but hesitate when he said this. Emperor Hongzhi often corresponded with Grandpa Zhang and watched his words and deeds through the factory guard.

It seems that Zhong has been seriously influenced by him unknowingly. For example, Wen Run·Poisonous Tongue·Blocking People·Emperor Hongzhi is now online.

"Isn't the style of Shilin always fond of young men in brothels? What does this have to do with Chihuer?!"

As soon as these words came out of Yao Shun's mouth, the faces of Yao Shun and the servants and Hanlin all turned red, what the hell...

"Besides, the common people are displaced, and Chi Hu'er is not an earth dragon - turning over can make the common people displaced."

As Emperor Hongzhi said, he put his hand on the dragon chair with a smile and said softly: "It was Dilong who turned over, and he took back the victims of the disaster in Shaanxi and resettled them."

"According to the ministers and workers, the resettlement of the victims was wrong?!"

Yao Shun's face turned red, and he took a step forward without giving in, bowing his head and bowing like a bell: "Then the price of food in the capital has soared, even reaching 15 taels a stone!"

"Not to mention ordinary people, even officials and officials can't afford it!!"

Emperor Hongzhi blinked and said softly: "Oh?! That's what Ai Qing doesn't know..."

"Food prices are raised by grain merchants, so what does this have to do with Chihuer?! Zhang San killed someone, and Li Si next door needs to be tried?!"

Yao Shun couldn't help being taken aback when he heard this, and before he could refute Emperor Hongzhi, he continued: "As for the people who can't afford it..."

"This is even more impossible. Shuntian Mansion has already registered the household registration and Dingkou of the people inside and outside the capital."

"The 'Royal Charity for the World and the Peace' created by the two palaces and the nobles of the empire will be subsidized by Dingkou and each family can buy food at a fair price."

As he spoke, Emperor Hongzhi stretched out a finger seriously: "One tael and one stone, the people in the capital will not be able to afford food."

"So... what Qing and others said, where do you start?!"

Yao Shun and the others couldn't utter a single word. They were still thinking about how to deal with it. Emperor Hongzhi spoke again.

"Okay~ okay~! I know that Qing and others want to force me, so I will give Qing and others an answer tomorrow."

Yao Shun and the others suddenly felt that their words were being held back, but before they could reply, Emperor Hongzhi spoke again.

"All the ministers and workers are here to play, if you have nothing to do, go back to the court and rest!"

Young Master Zhang, the Jade Chi Tiger in the vortex, didn't care about these things at all. He was inspecting the newly cast bronze cannon with the master craftsmen of the foundry department.

After the [-]-jin copper cannon was cast and cooled down, the cannon was not tested immediately, and a series of processes such as removing slag, grinding, and oiling had to be carried out.

The most important thing is to judge the gun body, whether there are any holes, holes, sand holes, cracks...etc.

A whole five batches of master craftsmen used various small oil hammers, wooden mallets, cotton-wrapping hammers... and other tools to tap little by little from the inside to the outside and listen to the echo.

Little by little to judge whether there is a problem with the cannon casting, everyone knows.

Once there is a problem with this [-]-jin copper cannon, what will everyone face?

No one dared to neglect this matter, and even after the inspection, they specially made sand boards for polishing the gun bore and oiled breech plugs.

"Tomorrow...you can invite your majesty to watch the cannon test!"

Zhang Xiaogong's pair of red phoenix and peach blossoms narrowed his smile, and Zhu Houzhao, the number one bear baby in the empire, stared at the cannon with his eyes shining.

"You are not allowed to touch it! You are not allowed to play around even if the test is successful, otherwise..."

Zhang Xiaogong's voice sounded in Zhu Houzhao's ears, and he froze in fright: "Brother Hu, when will I be able to play with guns?!"

I took a look at Zhu Houzhao, whose body bones gradually opened with age, and who was already more than 1.6 meters tall, and looked a lot stronger than his peers.

Young Master Zhang patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "You can play guns before you get married."

The prince Xiongwa rolled his eyes angrily at these words, but his temper comes and goes quickly.

"Brother Hu, then Chen Shenyi is about to go on strike! If the emperor doesn't pay attention to them, those ministers and Hanlin must increase their efforts!"

Grandpa Zhang squinted at the pair of red phoenix and peach blossoms and waved his hands with a smile: "Just a few small things, Prince and Bohu, you can just do it..."

"Don't bother me."

Zhu Houzhao, Xiongwa, actually nodded his head, and then let out a sigh of relief: "Brother Hu, the skills you taught me are interesting! Really interesting!"

"This is much more interesting than what Master Li and Master Liu taught!"

Hearing this, Young Master Zhang couldn't help but smiled, patted Xiong Wa on the shoulder and said softly: "It's windy, Your Highness, don't catch a cold."
