I am the king of the dead

Chapter 25 An Exam Question After Enthronement
"Your Majesty's transformations are quite amazing. In fact, Your Majesty doesn't know anything. The small number of gunpowder fillings in each battle affects the power of firearms." Yu Qian thought about it seriously.

He continued: "Your Majesty, if you pack too much gunpowder, it's easy to explode your chambers, from hand injuries to blindness. If you pack too little gunpowder, it's not powerful enough to pass through the armor. Therefore, Your Majesty's paper-wrapped gunpowder, Moisture-proof, durable, and quantitative, Your Majesty, this is the virtue of life and creation."

When Zhu Qiyu flipped this thing upside down, he just had the idea of ​​reducing the steps of filling gunpowder, but when he hit it straight, he knew the real magic effect of this thing, which was above the word "quantitative".

On the battlefield, can you still grasp the weight of gunpowder exactly?

Shi Heng considered the rate of fire, but Yu Qian considered the word "quantitative".

Yu Qian has always been such a person, and every word he says is justified, rather than flattering with tricks like Shi Heng.

"I just thought it was inconvenient to carry gunpowder, so I came up with this idea." Zhu Qiyu remained calm, not complacent because of a few compliments.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Hubu Jin is here." Xing'an whispered in Zhu Qiyu's ear.

"welcome."

Jin Lian walked through the front porch, but found that the boy who led the way led him to the front yard, only to see that Yu Qian and Shi Heng were both in the pavilion, and they were having a good conversation.

Jin Lian, the minister of households, had been the minister of punishment before he started, and he also led troops to suppress rebellion. He was quite pleasantly surprised when he saw the two gadgets that Zhu Qiyu tinkered with.

It is rainy in the south, and the soldiers' firearms are not as good as bows and crossbows when they arrive in the south. These two small changes have guaranteed the combat power.

Even in the rain, the gunpowder wrapped in oil paper will not get wet, and there is also a baffle for the fire door, which are all conditions to ensure combat in wet weather.

"Your Majesty's whimsy is enough to secure peace and establish the country." Jin Lian put down his hand gun, and he shot a few times with itchy hands, testing the power of the fire gun, and was quite emotional.

"Why did Jin Shangshu come here?" Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile on his face.

Jin Lian looked at Yu Qian and Shi Heng, and said with a sigh, "Your Majesty, not only have the grain prices in Beijing not dropped, they are even rising!"

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment, then sat up straight, and asked in a daze: "Isn't the Tonghui River connected? Why is the price of food still rising?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this food has entered the capital, but it is guaranteed that the sergeants will use it. The Ministry of War is not willing to release food to keep food prices down." Jin Lian's meaning was obvious.

He is here to complain, Yu Qian's hand is too long.

The two warehouses of Jingtong and one thousand warehouses are all managed by the Ministry of Households, but now the warehouses are all controlled by Yu Qian. There is no grain to put in Beijing, so how can grain prices be stabilized?

Zhu Qiyu's eyes turned to Yu Qian. The Ministry of War already manages soldiers, so why should they manage food and grass?

What is this to do?
Conspiracy?
It's not very similar. I asked him to come, and he came. Aren't you afraid that he would be five hundred swordsmen and axemen, throw the cup as a trumpet, and kill him on the spot?
Shi Heng was immediately unhappy, and said angrily: "You old man, you are so filthy, why is our military department not releasing food? Don't you need food for the war? Immediately, the army and the Japanese army will enter the capital. , the food was taken by you, what do these sergeants eat!"

"You don't even have anything to eat, you expect them to work hard!"

Jin Lian snorted coldly and expressed his dissatisfaction. He said sharply: "Preparing the Japanese army, preparing the army, you have 20, and now the foreign imperial court is in a hurry. Is [-] shi a day enough?"

Zhu Qiyu did a little calculation, 28 a day can supply an army of about [-] for a day.

"Can the account be calculated like this? It's so simple to lead troops to fight, why don't you go to lead troops? Once you get the abacus, you can fight? Who do you think you are!" Shi Heng said immediately with some dissatisfaction.

Jin Lian didn't give Shi Heng a good look at all, and continued: "Bring it with you, whoever is afraid of who! Has anyone never brought soldiers? You are at the Datong garrison, and I am still fighting the rebellion in Fujian!"

Jin Lian is not afraid of this kind of run.

Zhu Qiyu just planned to speak, for example, let the Ministry of War take away the grain used by the sergeants first, and then return the treasuries to the Ministry of Household, but he thought it was wrong.

After that, in the capital city, who has the final say?
"Yu Shangshu?" Zhu Qiyu looked at Yu Qian, and he was a little puzzled, because Yu Qian asked the sergeant to control the grain depot of the household department.

"Your Majesty, the reason for the price of grain in the capital is not in the granary. It is also helpless for the minister to let the sergeant control the granary. I also ask Your Majesty to investigate." Yu Qian stood up and bowed his head.

"Tell me in detail." Of course Zhu Qiyu didn't believe that Yu Qian planned to rebel.

Yu Qian stood and said aloud: "Jin Shangshu, you also know that the soaring food prices in Beijing are caused by the sergeants' holding positions?"

"Your Majesty, the food route has not been cut off, and the Tonghui River is open. Even if the disaster is imminent, the river is still busy day and night.

"Before the supply was [-]% less, but the price of food rose to the point where [-]% of the people in the capital could not afford it, and it stabilized at [-] stone."

"There is a lot of supply now, but the price of grain in Beijing has not stabilized, but has skyrocketed. It is because some people are hoarding goods."

Zhu Qiyu thought about it seriously, and asked with some doubts: "No, the supply has been reduced by [-]%, and the price of food has risen from five cents to four taels, which is an eightfold increase."

One tael equals ten taels, and five taels to forty taels, how much more than [-]% of the people can't afford it?

Yu Qian snorted coldly and continued: "The supply is [-]% less, and the merchants moved on hearing the wind, at least eating more than [-]% of the food!"

"They put money in their left hand, go out thirteen out of seven, and don't sell their grain in their right hand. People go to their bank to borrow money, and then go to their grain store to buy grain."

"As soon as you turn down your hands, you will earn the people's land and the people's workshops. Isn't it enough? If these people hadn't reached out to the capital's five hundred warehouses, how could someone send troops to the warehouse?"

Zhu Qiyu frowned after listening to Yu Qian's statement. Giving money is actually a loan. Seven out of thirteen returns means borrowing ten taels of silver. The bank only pays seven taels, and finally returns the money to the bank for 13 taels.

The people took the borrowed money to buy the food they hoarded and raised the price, and they also had to bear high interest.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Jin Lian with a bad expression, and asked suspiciously, "Is there such a thing? The granary of the capital is an important place, why would someone put their hands into the capital?"

Isn't this the same as reaching into Zhu Qiyu's crotch and groping?

No food, what a shit fight!
Jin Lian wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling quite helpless, some things could not be called four taels, and even a thousand pounds could not be beaten.

Yu Qian was unforgiving. Seeing that Jin Lian couldn't answer, he continued: "The officials of the Ministry of Household are in charge of the Dongbianmen Neidong Market, Wan Ge went to Beijing, and the grains were gathered in the East Market. Why did they all end up in the hands of several big merchants?"

"Shuntian Prefecture opened the warehouse to put grain, and nearly [-]% of the grain was eaten by someone? Who is the grain in the Shuntian Prefecture treasury now!"

Xing'an said in Zhu Qiyu's ear, "Your Majesty, Yu Shiyue, Minister of Punishment, and Xu Youzhen, the censor, ask to see you."

Tsk tsk, Zhu Qiyu's interest has increased greatly. This is definitely not a coincidence. Under the seemingly calm water, there are already magnificent waves.

"Please!" Zhu Qiyu nodded.

The support of the courtiers does not fall from the sky. If you encounter a difficult matter, if you can't handle it well, you will be disappointed. If you handle it properly, the balance of the courtier's heart will gradually tilt.

Politics is like a debate, you say you are right, I say I am right, but those who have always been right will be supported by the majority.

This should be an exam question for ministers after he ascended the throne.

　Ask for recommendation, ask for monthly pass, ask for collection, ask for investment, in short, ask for everything! (づ￣3￣)づ╭～
