Ming dynasty grand dude

But now that Yuchihu is not here, he can only suppress his doubts.

"I have so much power in heaven, it's just my luck, and I'm just patrolling the herds on behalf of the heavens."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and walked to the door, and saw him push the door open with a "squeak".

Outside the door is a huge balcony, which is also Emperor Hongzhi's favorite place to stay.

It was already afternoon at this time, and the scorching sun had already faded, and it was softly shining on the balcony.

"If I have the power of heaven, why would there be floods to hurt my people?"

With that said, Emperor Hongzhi turned around.

Facing Liu Jian and Xie Qian who wanted to say something, they smiled and said: "Don't comfort me, let's settle the resettlement of the victims first."

Hearing Emperor Hongzhi say this, Xie Qian's face collapsed.

The four provinces were affected by the disaster, which means that the autumn harvest of the four provinces this year will be completely ruined.

In addition, the four provinces affected by the disaster will inevitably need to reduce or exempt taxes, and now Emperor Hongzhi, who has money in his pocket, directly exempts them all with a wave of his hand.

It can be avoided that it is a one-sentence matter, and Guochao Bank is very sad.

And without the annual income of the four provinces, it still has to support millions of disaster victims in the four provinces

People eat horses and chew enough to support at least until next year's summer grain storage before there will be any grain issued.

After calculating this before and after, Fei Mi Xie Qian only needs to think about it and his heart will tremble.

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent"

It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice! After all, the treasury is full, and there is only so little time.

During this period of time, Xie Qian's gray hair can be described as worrying, thinking of millions of hungry people waiting to be fed.

The old guy felt like his brain was going to explode

The Minister of the Household Department has been forced by him to go to Shuzuo to resign and say that there are only so many things in the treasury and grain depot.

Even if all his family members were copied, they still wouldn't be able to get the amount Mr. Xie Ge wanted.

After all, this is the ration of millions of people, and it has to be supported for several months.

According to current calculations, the Ministry of Household Grain Depot can last at most another three months.

No matter how many there are, you can't get them out even if you kill them.

"Hey, let's think of a solution when Chihu'er comes back."

Emperor Hongzhi didn't have a good idea, and Neiku's blood was almost dry this time.

Emperor Hongzhi, who had finally been rich for a while, only enjoyed it for a few days and became poor again.

The nobles did not bleed less this time, they not only had to sell food at a low price due to the high food price outside.

I have to donate to the Jishi Anmin Charity Federation, which is really bleeding.

If it wasn't for Emperor Hongzhi's full promise, wait for Chi Hu'er to come back and open a way for them to make money.

If these nobles were not sure, they would have to piss on the spot.

After selling Chi Huer, Emperor Hongzhi didn't feel any guilt at all.

My prince was kidnapped by you and taken to the embankment to control the flood, so what if I sold you once

If Yu Chihu knew that the Dog Emperor had sold him out again, he would probably be so angry that he would yell at him.

This country belongs to your Zhu family.

It is true that my old Zhang family has worked for your Zhu family for several generations, but I can't be your boss.

"That's all"

Xie Qian is really blushing, speechless, but fortunately, Liu Jian is a thick-skinned old guy.

Chihuer must be easy to use, Daming needs you, young man

Poor Yuchihu didn't know that the mission had already been arranged before he returned to the capital.

He is now reading the report delivered to him by the military department, which was sent by Qi Jingtong.

After Annan and others fought in the Three Kingdoms War, Qi Jingtong's outstanding performance was naturally promoted by the military.

The governor of the navy, Guo Hong, Guo Yanhe, is getting older, although he can still eat Doumi Shengrou, he is old after all.

Qi Jingtong went to the capital to report to the capital according to the order of the leading army department in the new regulations, and at the same time wrote his experience in naval battles and landing battles as teaching materials.

Combined with Guo Yanhe's previous works, it became the primary textbook for the newly established Navy Department of the Royal Military Academy.

"The person who came here claimed to be the Captain of the Navy under the seat of Zhang Xiaogong, but his blond hair and blue eyes belonged to Ru Semu."

Looking at the latest report from the military department, Zhang Xiaogong couldn't help but smile wryly.

Qi Jingtong was really meticulous in his work, instead of giving him a letter, he gave it to the military.

If it were someone else, I would probably feel disgusted.

Fortunately, it was Zhang Xiaogong who he met, and he didn't have any intention of cultivating direct descendants, so he didn't care about it.

"There are as many as dozens of warships. The lower officials go to the warships to observe carefully, and you can see the differences between them and our Ming warships."

Next, Qi Jingtong went into almost every detail, telling what he had seen, heard and guessed.

Fortunately, Heinrich is indeed a subordinate of Grandpa Zhang, so he did not refuse Qi Jingtong's visit.

He even gave a warm reception in person, explaining in detail as long as Qi Jingtong was interested.

Many craftsmen and soldiers on board caught Qi Jingtong's attention, as well as a large number of seeds and books.

Heinrich didn't hide it from Qi Jingtong, he just said that it was the little father-in-law who asked him to go back and make preparations.

For these, he not only spent all the funds that the young master gave him, but even mortgaged the ancestral manor.

These people all took the settlement allowance and followed him to Daming.

Chapter 8 The catastrophe will return ordinary people, and the ocean will return to a knight (Wu)

Slowly putting down the letter, Grandpa Zhang fell into deep thought.

Heinrich was lucky to be able to come back, but what he didn't expect was that he was able to come back with dozens of ships.

Many of them must have come to trade with Daming, so Qi Jingtong placed them in Yizhou first.

The current situation of these people is unknown, so it is naturally impossible to easily put them into Daming.

For Heinrich's return, Mr. Zhang is very happy.

He is eager to see him now, to understand the current situation of Europa and what he has brought.

Books, seeds, artillery technology, craftsmen, etc., are all treasures to Mr. Zhang.

It is undeniable that in modern times, the distance between China and the West has been gradually widened since the Ming Dynasty.

This widening of technological distance is based on the fact that the West has gradually improved its own basic scientific research system.

The problem with Huaxia is that most of them study Confucianism.

For the sake of imperial examinations, official career, and being an official, no one is willing to do basic scientific research projects.

It wasn't until the end of the Qing Dynasty that I was woken up by the sharp cannons of the strong ship, and I realized that I had fallen too far behind.

"This Heinrich is a special situation, let's talk about it."

In the military headquarters, Emperor Hongzhi personally summoned Qi Jingtong.

This is not the first time for the latter to meet Emperor Hongzhi, but he is still a little excited

Because it was also his first visit to the new building of the military headquarters, the "Wanjing Building" where Emperor Hongzhi specially met generals in the military headquarters.

Emperor Hongzhi is wearing armor today, and the place where he sits upright is the "Iron Throne" made by the little prince.

Looking at the Iron Throne, Qi Jingtong's jaw almost dropped.

History books once recorded that the first emperor collected the world's weapons and cast twelve golden men.

Now that I'm Ming, I'm obviously better.

Directly take away the weapons of the defeated state and cast the throne of the commander-in-chief of the military department

"Heinrich, the chief minister, should be reliable."

Hearing the question from the old man with the tiger head who is the chief, Qi Jingtong nodded gratefully.

The old man pulled him out of his stupor. After all, Emperor Hongzhi didn't ask him to come here for a visit.

"This man is consistent with his words and deeds. Although he is from Europe, he has the style of my Chinese gentleman."

Qi Jingtong pondered for a while, and began to speak out every bit of what he knew.

Emperor Hongzhi and others also wanted to know the development of Europa, especially their force value.

Think about how I can't sleep all night, but it's all thanks to their artillery.

"The artillery casting of the Europa people is probably better than my Ming Dynasty."

Qi Jingtong didn't dare to ask directly, but only asked about the situation of Europa's artillery.

Heinrich doesn't doubt that there is him, everyone is a member of the army

Is it normal to care about weapons?

"Because of the perennial battles of the Europa people, artillery technology has advanced by leaps and bounds, and now they have formed several types of distribution"

As Qi Jingtong spoke eloquently, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help breathing heavily.

Giant artillery has almost become the standard equipment of European countries, and such artillery must be used in siege warfare.

Such as the famous Mons Meg cannon

The muzzle is more than one foot and seven inches long, but it was only given as a dowry by a duke to his niece.

In addition to the cannon, Europa's development and use of other artillery has gone further than Ming.

They have begun to distinguish between fortress guns, siege guns, naval guns, field guns, and so on.

The classification is more detailed than that of Daming, and the various data are more accurate.

Emperor Hongzhi felt that the National Defense Forces had a lot of artillery.

But compared with Europa's army now, it's so f*ckingly small.

Europa's army of more than 400 people is equipped with more than [-] various artillery pieces.

Hearing the news, Emperor Hongzhi winked at the tiger-headed old Duke without saying a word.

Insufficient firepower, we need to hurry up and cast the cannon

We don't have special naval guns yet, so we have to ask the Ordnance Construction Bureau to step up research on special naval guns.

And field guns, fortress guns, siege guns, and so on, just think of the various types of artillery equipped by the armies of Europa.

Emperor Hongzhi immediately felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, especially when the other party's more than [-] ships were able to sail as far as Daming

"The ships of Europa also have advantages over our Ming warships"

Qi Jingtong told all the bigwigs in the military department what he learned.

Although Europa's ship is not as big as Ming's, it has its own merits.

Because of many voyages, they have summed up a lot of experience in voyages.

These experiences have been combined to take their shipbuilding industry a step further.

In contrast, although the warships of Ming Dynasty were bigger, they almost all wandered in the offshore.

Now at most, they have only gone to Annan, Borneo and other places, and they have not gone out no matter how far away.

"According to what Heinrich said, their ships were originally going to my Daming to try to do business."

Qi Jingtong paused, and continued: "But now a boat has discovered an extremely large continent."

"The large continent is extremely vast, not only rich in products, but also has few native people, and the land is very fertile"

Following what Qi Jingtong said, Emperor Hongzhi began to breathe heavily.

His eyes were wide open, and he kept looking at the Englishman and the others beside him.
