[Comprehensive classics] I build a dynasty in the book

Chapter 45 Dream of the Red Chamber 1 scene (45)

Emperor Jialong's anger burned from the previous dynasty to the harem.

The decree regarding the disposal of the Zhen family came down quickly. The head of the family, Zhen, was escorted to Beijing from An and awaited execution. His eldest son, Zhen Yingjia, the president of Jinling Provincial Institute of Physical Education, was dismissed and investigated. Among the remaining members of the Zhen family, the male was imprisoned. In the cell of the Jinling Supervisory Court, the female relatives and the youngest son were imprisoned in the Zhen family ancestral hall. After the investigation of the two princes, they will be dealt with according to the law.

In the harem, before Emperor Jialong's imperial decree came down, the queen took the eunuchs and maids to seal the Guanju Palace. The queen even took away her imperial concubine's gold book and burned her imperial concubine's court dress in front of nobleman Chen.

Chen Gui vomited blood in anger, and could only watch the queen leave in a swaggering manner.

The party of the Three Princes who had been prominent for a while dissipated with the three wills of Emperor Jialong, and the capital was in turmoil for a while. While the officials lamented that the emperor's mind was unpredictable, they also lamented the prince's resolute methods.

One hit kills, the prince got serious, the third prince is not a general.

After the early dynasty ended, Ji Shengyan returned to the East Palace. As soon as he entered the study, he heard the news that Emperor Jialong had summoned the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Ji Cong was defeated. In order to balance the court situation, Emperor Jialong needed to find someone who could replace him, Ji Zhao or Ji Rong. He had to make a choice, but he didn't know what advice that old fox, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, would give him?

Ji Shengyan squinted his eyes. He sat behind the table and read the Zhen family information sent by his subordinates. After reading for a while, he heard Lu Shengrong's report.

"Your Highness, Mr. Lin is asking to see you."

"Please."

Lin Ruhai didn't come alone, he was followed by Ruan Changjin, Minister of the Ministry of War, who had some relationship with Ruan Mingyi, he was Ruan Mingyi's distant cousin, who once sponsored Ruan Mingyi's martial arts examination.

Lu Shengrong directly brought the two of them to the prince's study, and brought two chairs. Ji Shengyan didn't ask them to salute, and directly gave them the seats.

Lin Ruhai got straight to the point: "His Royal Highness, the Ministry of Industry has compared the soil quality of various places, and through the test of the experimental field, it has discovered a new place that can produce high grain yields."

Ji Shengyan closed the Zhen family information in his hand, and signaled Lin Ruhai to continue.

Lin Ruhai took out a yellow paper bag from his bosom, and when he opened it, there was a pinch of black soil inside. He handed the paper bag to Lu Shengrong, and couldn't hide his excitement: "This soil is very fertile, comparable to the breath of Emperor Yu's flood." Soil."

Surprise flashed across Ruan Changjin's face. The "Shan Hai Jing" said: Yu used his breath to drown the flood, but this is a myth and legend. Could it be possible that such a thing really exists?Or is Lin Ruhai exaggerating?

When Ji Shengyan saw the soil, he knew where Lin Ruhai was talking about, but he still asked, "Where did this soil come from?"

Ruan Changjin also looked at Lin Ruhai. For Ji Guo, food is very important. If such a place is really found, it will be a great joy for the whole world to celebrate.

The excited expression on Lin Ruhai's face subsided slightly, and he answered, "This place is in Liaodong."

Ruan Changjin frowned when he heard this: "Outside the pass?"

Lin Ruhai nodded, this is also what he was worried about. Although the place belonged to the Ji Dynasty, it was outside Shanhaiguan. Although the Liaodong Metropolitan Commander was in town, the place was on the border with Tatar, and there was still a Jurchen tribe living there. If it is developed in a timely manner, there will be many follow-up problems, and war is inevitable.

Ruan Changjin was silent. Sure enough, there will be nothing in the sky. Fortune and misfortune always depend on each other. No wonder Lin Ruhai didn't tell the discovery of the Ministry of Industry in the court. To reduce troubles, the reclamation work will definitely be hindered, and there may even be a possibility of running aground.

Ji Shengyan also understands the purpose of Lin Ruhai's report of this matter to him. He knows the importance of the three eastern provinces better than anyone else. It will be one of the most important grain bases of the Ji Dynasty in the future. When Lin Yuzhou finds out the mineral deposits of the three eastern provinces, its status will be more important.

The reform of the military system is imminent. Only with strong national strength and strong military force can the Ji Dynasty have the right to speak and develop itself as it pleases.

Ji Shengyan thought a lot, but he still had an iceberg face. After Lin Ruhai finished explaining his thoughts, he said: "Gu knows about this matter, Mr. Lin, don't worry, Gu will make proper arrangements."

Ji Shengyan didn't say the specific measures. It's too early to say it now, and he has some plans. He still needs to consider the relationship between man and nature. People in this world don't understand it. Knowing the stakes, he needs to plan ahead.

Seeing that Ji Shengyan was interested, Lin Ruhai felt relieved. If it was impossible, he still had a son. If necessary, he could ask Lin Yuzhou to remind the prince. Thinking of this, Lin Ruhai felt that his son was a disaster.

Ji Shengyan didn't know what was going on in Lin Ruhai's mind. He looked at Ruan Changjin and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Ruan?"

Ruan Changjin turned his head to look at Lin Ruhai, and coughed twice uncomfortably.

Lin Ruhai's heart trembled, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Ruan Changjin adjusted his expression, and said, "His Royal Highness, the Northwest Army and the Tatars are constantly at odds with each other, and the supply of military supplies and equipment is tight. The food and grass minister has written to His Majesty, but it is only about the military equipment..." He looked at Lin Ruhai as he spoke, and the sight in his eyes The meaning is self-evident.

Lin Ruhai's face turned pale, and the special department of the Ministry of Industry improved the new fire system, reduced its recoil force, adjusted its aiming head, and specially made a long-range shooting device that can be added to the sighting device. Huo system, but these are still in the confidential stage, Ruan Changjin actually knew in advance.He twitched the corners of his mouth. The Ministry of War would not dare to put eyeliner on the Ministry of Industry. Thinking about it this way, some of his subordinates were not strict with their mouths.

Ruan Changjin turned his head and refused Lin Ruhai's gaze. It was impossible for him to tell Lin Ruhai the person who revealed the news to him.

Ji Shengyan could see what Ruan Changjin was up to. He wanted him to help him persuade (force) Lin Ruhai to agree to provide some new firearms to the Ministry of War.

The national treasury is empty, the Ministry of Households has no money, and the research and development funds of the various departments of the Ministry of Industry are already stretched. It is not easy for special departments to develop new types of firearms. It is impossible to mass-produce them, and there is no money to support mass production. However, the Ministry of War wants to use nothing Wolf.

The older you get, the more cunning you become. They are all thousand-year-old foxes who have become accustomed to digging holes. Ji Shengyan looked at the old man. If he opens his mouth, the future will be wonderful. Lin Ruhai should be happy to trip him up and keep him away. Lin Yuzhou.

Ji Shengyan knocked on the table, looked at Ruan Changjin, and said in a cold voice: "Master Ruan, don't be in a hurry for armaments, first solve the problem of food and grass for the Northwest Army."

Ruan Changjin was stunned for a moment, noticing the change in Ji Shengyan's expression, he didn't dare to say more, he stood aside and pondered for a while, and then figured out what was going on.The third prince fell, and the Zhen family was raided. The next step is to deal with Shen Ke from the household department. After the national treasury is a little richer, in order to guard against the Tatars, the food and grass problem of the frontier army will definitely be solved first. As for the military equipment, as long as the Ministry of Industry can get it from the household department Once the money arrives, his wish will come true.

Lin Ruhai stroked his beard, seeing that Ruan Changjin stopped arguing with him, his face showed a look of relief.

After Lin Ruhai and Ruan Changjin left, Ji Shengyan put away the materials on the table, leaned on the chair and thought about the plan to be implemented next, and the figure of Lin Yuzhou appeared in his mind unconsciously.

Because Li Suqing was too seasick, Lin Yuzhou and the others changed their way of going south.After arriving in Hangzhou City, they decisively changed all subsequent trips into horse-drawn carriages, and the group of people galloped along the official road southward. Although the carriage was bumpy, it was better than staying on a boat.

Li Suqing finally ended his drowsy days, and when he woke up, he actually talked very well with Wang Luan. In his words, Wang Luan's shy personality was very similar to his son, but his son was only in his teens.

Sometimes the fate between people is so wonderful. Lin Yuzhou has no objection to the entourage communicating with each other. As long as he doesn’t make trouble for him, he can do whatever he wants. Moreover, Li Suqing and Wang Luan are both good at painting. Lin Yuzhou taught them how to draw maps and let them draw The map of the journey was drawn, Li Suqing was good at counting, Wang Luan was careful, and the two cooperated very well.

After walking for many days, Lin Yuzhou and his party were all concerned about the situation in the south of the Yangtze River. Lin Yuzhou had the mirror given by Ji Shengyan, so he could know the news of the capital as quickly as possible. When he learned that the third prince had finally stopped cooking, his mood became extremely comfortable. Fu Jue, who knew him well, saw that he had a special news channel, and when he saw his bright expression, he also calmed down.

In this way, Lin Yuzhou and the others arrived in Minzhou in mid-June and spent almost three months on the road.

Minzhou is located in the southeast of Ji State, facing the sea and mountains, with a terrain that is higher in the northwest and lower in the southeast.The chief envoy is different from the capital commander. The former is a local administrative organ, while the latter is a local military organ.

Lin Yuzhou and the others turned from the official road to the mountain road and then to the official road. They bumped all the way over the Yishan Mountain. When they saw the village households, each of them was very excited.

Lin Yuzhou moved his nose, he seemed to smell the breath of the sea.

"Huh..." Ji Geng shook his arm. This journey exhausted him half to death. Thanks to his internal strength to support him, otherwise he would really fall down. At this time, he especially admired Fu Jue's powerlessness. The literati, for one goal, they can overcome all difficulties.

Ji Geng sighed from his soul: "Finally I can eat a normal meal. I don't want to eat dry food in my life."

It's not that I haven't thought about eating wild game, but the food they baked is not as good as dry food due to the lack of seasoning.

"According to the records of geography, this place should belong to Wu'an County." Fu Jue walked to Lin Yuzhou and said, "One of the important counties of Minzhou, along this road, you should be able to see the outline of Wu'an County."

Lin Yuzhou nodded, and said to the crowd, "First rest in Wu'an County for a night."

The Japanese pirates in Min and Guangdong are rampant. For this reason, some people in the court even advocate self-defense. The purpose of Lin Yuzhou's southward trip is to inspect the southeast coastal defense and find out the pirate routes. If possible, it is best to join the navy here to wipe out the enemy.
