I am the king of the dead

Chapter 934 As long as I live, I will never surrender!

When Yang Hong and Chen Mao left, they didn't like His Majesty's funeral. This was not to make the emperor extravagant and wasteful, but to hope that the emperor could raise the flag.

The meaning of erecting the flag can be roughly understood as cultivating a group of fans and vested interests who are completely loyal to the emperor's beliefs. After the emperor's dragon rides on the guests, he can continue to maintain the emperor's policies and prevent people from dying.

Zhu Qiyu has always been frugal, but regardless of the funerals of Yang Hong, Chen Yi, Wang Zhi, Chen Mao, or even Chen Xun, Zhu Qiyu went to the official funeral according to the highest regulations of the Ministry of Rites, especially Chen Mao, and Zhu Qiyu even regarded the funerals of Qing Weiwang The specifications of the Great Ming Zhushi were buried.

When Chen Mao talked about the issue of erecting the flag, he just touched the surface and only said one sentence. After hearing His Majesty's affirmative answer, he did not discuss it in depth.

Zhu Qiyu's placement of Junguo's mansion in Jiaozhi is a vertical flag, and some plots against Lu Song are also vertical flags. The Farm Law is a vertical flag, and the Craftsman City and Craftsman Jue Law are also vertical flags.

You can't shout that the important affairs of the country are in the army, and at the same time, you are only willing to resolutely uphold the etiquette, but you don't care about the military affairs, and you can't even pay the food and salaries on time, ignoring or even indulging in private labor and greed for military salaries.

You can’t call the workers and peasants the cornerstone and the second of the four pillars of the Great Ming Dynasty, and at the same time be stingy and refuse to share even the slightest benefit to the workers and peasants, and even exhaust all means to deprive the workers and peasants of social status. , control of wealth, justice, means of production.

It was late at night, and the snowflakes were still fluttering, and the sky was filled with broken jade, and the earth was covered with silver, the capital was covered with white snow, and the lamps in the city were extinguished one by one, everything was quiet, The lamps carried by the sergeants patrolling the Nine Gates were still faintly visible in the snow curtain, while the lights in the Imperial Study Room of the Jiangwu Hall illuminated the snow in front of the Juxian Pavilion as usual.

The supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty, as usual, only finished processing the memorials for the day when he was approaching Zizi.

Seeing that His Majesty closed the pen in his hand, Xing'an hurriedly stepped forward and bowed his head and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, a happy event, Concubine Ran Ning is happy again."

Zhu Qiyu frowned and said with a smile: "Good thing, good thing, this little lady is advocating many thieves every day, starting tomorrow, let Ran Siniang live in the backyard of the martial arts hall, and will not go back to Tai'an Palace for the time being."

"Then Miss Ran's Que'er, will she be replaced by a nobleman who just entered the palace?" Xing'an asked tentatively.

"Let Yunyan come over." Zhu Qiyu was talking about Tang Yunyan, the third prince's mother, Tang Guifei.

If the most unruly person in this palace is Tang Yunyan, apart from Ran Siniang, Tang Yunyan is the most favored. Tang Yunyan is a small character. When Tang Xing named Tang Yunyan, it meant Yanyun, which means Yanyun sixteen prefectures.

Before Tang Xing became a relative of the emperor, he had already been promoted to the official position of commander of Jinyiwei by virtue of his merits. After becoming a relative of the emperor for so many years, it was only this time when he went south to the west that he was dispatched by the imperial court. He didn't do anything before. (140 chapters)

Tang Xing's command was not only because he was a relative of the emperor, but also because of his ability.

Tang Yunyan's temperament followed her father's, loves to be noisy and has many tricks, and the third prince Zhu Jianjun followed his mother's temperament. Among the emperor's heirs in Tai'an Palace, Zhu Jianjun was beaten the most, and his skin would itch if he didn't beat him every day.

Xing'an is helpless, the clothes are not as good as the new ones, and the people are not as good as the old ones. His Majesty has never even asked their names for the two newcomers to the palace. Since entering the palace for half a month, they have not even been able to wait in line. .

In fact, the reason is very simple. There are three hardships in the world, blacksmithing, punting, and grinding tofu. All punters know that it is much more comfortable to walk the dredged waterway than the undredged waterway. First, you know the hydrology. Knowing the hidden reef saves effort, knowing when to push the pole hard, and knowing what to go down the current. Only the young boatman felt that taking the new waterway was more challenging and exciting.

It is probably attributed to one word, Run.

The next day, the heavy snow that had been fluttering for several days finally stopped, and the monthly salt and iron meeting was held as scheduled. Zhu Qiyu picked up his memo and went to the salt and iron meeting hall.

The Salt and Iron Conference was held in the twelfth lunar month of the 11th year of Jingtai, and it has become a regular meeting of the Ming Dynasty. It is held regularly every month, and the topics are not fixed. Even if Zhu Qiyu is not in the capital, it will still be held as usual.

The state system in the economic field has been absent for a long time in Ming Dynasty, and even since Zhou Dynasty.

The imperial courts of the Song Dynasty were rich and powerful. Did the Song Dynasty have a state system in the economic field?

No, the Song Dynasty shared the world with the scholar-bureaucrats. Translation and translation means that the imperial court and the scholar-bureaucrats join hands to fight against each other as it should be and with confidence. This is not a national system in the economic field, otherwise the Song Dynasty would not You won't lose your way twice.

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty's congratulations." Yu Qian led a group of officials to salute.

Zhu Qiyu signaled the ministers to sit down, and he glanced at Yao Kui. In this position, Hu Wei was sitting before. Can Yao Kui replace Hu Wei?

The answer is no.

What Hu Min could do, Yao Kui couldn't do at all.

At the beginning when Zhu Qiyu was on a southern tour, the household department proposed that "the breeder Ding will never add a tax". At that time, Hu Wei threatened the ministers with a thin memorial. Pass it up.

The memorandum is the old story of the eunuchs in the Southern Han Dynasty.

Under the bureaucratic constitution that is completely responsible to the superiors, in order to advance and get promoted, the officials of the Southern Han Dynasty even castrated themselves in order to please the superiors.

Can Yao Kui do this for state affairs?Maybe in the future, but Yao Kui can't do it now.

Yu Qian sat forward and looked at His Majesty and said: "Your Majesty, during the last court meeting, Your Majesty said a little bit that the truth is the foundation. Today's salt and iron meeting, should we discuss it? What variable?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "Naturally, Shen Shangshu, please briefly introduce the situation of several major official factories."

The Secretary of the Household Department stood up and handed out the thick title books one by one to every courtier who participated in the Salt and Iron Conference, and this thick title book was also stamped with the seal ribbon of Jingtai Zhibao, a blood-red The encrypted characters are particularly eye-catching, obviously they were printed by the Sanjing Factory, and they are not published.

Shen Yi opened his mouth and said: "You can't take this away, after the meeting, you have to put it away."

"Since the first year of Jingtai's court push to set up an official factory, in the past 11 years, up to this time, Daming has a total of Liaodong Factory, Shijing Factory, Daming Factory, Shengzhou Factory, Jingtai Factory, Liuzhi Factory, Jianghuai Factory, Maan Factory, Fujian Zhu A total of [-] coal-rail intermodal official factories, including the Guangzhou Nantang Factory, and a total of [-] official factories under construction in Liaodong, Gansu, Sichuan, Jiaozhi, and Jiugang.”

"This is only an official factory, divided into factory areas, directly under the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, excluding the local government factories under the jurisdiction of the chief secretaries, prefects, and magistrates. So far, there are a total of 36 craftsmen in official factories directly under the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households. There are more than 460 million tons of coal, more than 40 million tons of iron, and [-] million tons of steel annually."

A jun is about thirty catties, and the unit of measurement of the catty is too small in the face of the ever-expanding scale of the official factory. Even the unit of measurement of the jun is not enough. Two thousand catties is equivalent to one ton for calculation. At present, the official factory statistics of Daming still use the unit of catty and jun. After the output of the official factory is further increased, the unit of measurement of ton will be increased.

After conversion, Da Ming's steel production capacity next year will be 25 tons. For example, Handan Iron and Steel Group, which is not so famous in the future, will produce 967 million tons of steel a year. Daming's current steel production capacity is about ten times that of Handan Iron and Steel Group. The output of the day and one hour is even.

Zhu Qiyu was not very satisfied with this number, but the ministers were still horrified when they heard this number. This is the first time the Ministry of Households has released the data.

In terms of the steel output of Daming official factory, Zhu Qiyu can use one year's steel output to make a set of Mingguang armor for everyone in Daming, regardless of gender, age or child.

What is ignorance of the destiny? Arazhiyuan just doesn't know the destiny. He doesn't know that the emperor of Ming Dynasty can razed Hara and Lin to the ground even if he didn't use artillery and smashed it with steel.

Everyone has a different understanding of what destiny is. The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry understand that the national power of the Ming Dynasty shown by the data in front of them is destiny.

Shen Yi paused for a long time. There were detailed statistics in the question book that was handed out. The ministers needed time to read it. After seeing that everyone raised their heads, he continued: "If the calculation is based on the official smelting iron during the Hongwu period, today's official The iron produced by the factory is more than 21 times that of the official smelter in the 300st year of Hongwu, and only this figure can be used to measure it. During the Hongwu period, there was no imperial government statistics on steel production."

"Eighteen official factories hand over 280% of their profits every year. Last year, they handed over [-] million silver in total."

A huge interest group with artisans at its core has taken shape, and with the continuous promotion of steam, it is developing at an astonishing speed.

After Shen Yi finished speaking, Zhu Qiyu pointed at the table and said to Chen Youde who was sitting in front of the long table: "Chen Youde, the general manager of Shijing Factory, the last time Shijing Factory and Shuntian Mansion had a scandal, I told you, you You have money, you have food, you have people, you have gunpowder bureaus, you made Ming’s armor, guns, and chariots, and the government bullies you, so make a fuss with them, the bigger the fuss, the better, everyone knows it , it’s best to hang them on the street lamps in your Coal and Steel Park! No one will dare to bully you!”

"Create trouble, and I'll give you all the answers!"

"After talking for so long, I still get bullied every day."

Zhu Qiyu was touring Beijing in the south, and He Zhang impeached Shijing Factory and spent 36 silver to build a memorial archway. Live so much money.

The bullying of the official factory by the government is not just a borrowing. For example, the captains-in-law of the Wucheng Bingmasi used to sit on it to suck blood. Shijing Factory still swallowed their anger and didn't even file a complaint. Zhu Qiyu didn't know there was such a thing until he pulled out the radish and brought out the mud.

"This..." Chen Youde raised his head, hesitating, he is just a general manager, what can he do.

trouble?What's the trouble?
Your Majesty said it well, even if Chen Youde dared to take the lead, no craftsman dared to follow him. Craftsmen are the most disciplined group, because those who do not obey the rules die in front of the furnace. What is the standard of the official factory? Writing lessons.

The imperial court is His Majesty's court, and the world is His Majesty's world. His Majesty's relatives are asking for some money, and it's not even a drop in the bucket, so it's not worth making trouble at all.

"You, Xu Siqi is in Liaodong, and that Jian slave ran to the official factory to rob, and was beaten all over his head by the craftsmen." Zhu Qiyu said to Chen Youde.

Chen Youde hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, that's different, it's a thief, the craftsmen of the Liaodong factory have strength, and the craftsmen of our Shijing factory also have strength, if there are foreign thieves who dare to knock on the gate, everyone in the Shijing factory can go to battle and kill the enemy. "

"Foreign thieves are thieves, and national thieves are also thieves." Zhu Qiyu knocked on the table, and he was somewhat indignant towards the collective of craftsmen. Chen Youde didn't understand Zhu Qiyu's words at all. He didn't mean that Shijing Factory had no power, or that it was not as powerful as Liao Chen Youde, or the craftsmen in the sinking factory, would not use this kind of power at all.

Chen Youde said in a low voice: "That national traitor, isn't His Majesty going to deal with it..."

Seeing this posture, Yu Qian came out to persuade the fight. As the chief master, it is his duty to reconcile the conflicts and differences of opinions between the monarch and his ministers. He said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, your Majesty, each performs his duties. The official factory is production, let them do it, and they will do it." Don’t you know who the national thief is?”

Zhu Qiyu still said with a bit of anger: "The street lamps in the official factory and Jiangcheng are used for lighting? Mr. Chen, remember, children who cry have milk to drink."

"Follow the sacred instructions." Seeing His Majesty's admonition, Chen Youde hastily bowed his head and said yes. He actually thinks that the treatment in the official factory is very good now. All the children working in the official factory can get a good grade. If he can take an examination of craftsmanship and learn a craft, he won't be able to cry even if he is made to cry these days, right?

The ministers looked at Chen Youde with extremely complicated eyes, most of them were envious, the officials of the Ming capital, up and down, except for a few Ming dukes, who would dare to talk to His Majesty like that?His Majesty said something, Chen Youde said something, put it on the civil servants, His Majesty has already taken the punishment of non-punishment, and put it on the big disrespectful hat, who can bear it?

There is some fear in this gaze.

"It turns out that the armaments of the Beijing camp were all provided by Shijing Factory and Wang Gong Factory." Zhongguo Gong Shi Heng finished reading the title book, and he didn't understand the data too much, but Shi Heng read the parts for the Beijing camp. Clearly, all the armaments of the Beijing Camp came from Shijing Factory and Wang Gong Factory.

The ballast stone of the Daming Beijing Camp has abundant military virtues, abundant military equipment, and extremely strong combat effectiveness. This is the result, and the official factory plays a vital role in it.

Zhu Qiyu flipped through the memo and said: "Industry is the basic strength of the imperial court. Without entity and industry, there is no foundation, no basic strength, and everything is down. Gunpowder, if there is no one there, how can I build it?"

"Industry is the source of the economy. In layman's terms, the real economy has created the economic income of the people of Ming Dynasty, and it is the source of income for the people of Ming Dynasty. Just like farmers without land, farming is out of the question."

"Industry is the most basic and fundamental unit for producing materials and commodities."

"Lu Laixuan, head of the White Deer Cave Academy, insisted on seeing me before he died, and judged me. He told me that human nature is greedy. Yang Shan also said this. He said that what I did was useless, and one day I would die. When the body dies and the dao disappears, they let me surrender, let me stop, and they will regard me as a holy lord and a wise king, not a king of subjugated countries."

"As long as I live, I will never surrender!"

"However, what they said makes sense. Humans are indeed very greedy. The possessive desire for material and wealth is generally endless, or people's desires can never be satisfied. When they have a certain amount of material and wealth After wealth, the possession of material wealth will change from the possession of material wealth to the possession of quality.”

"If you don't develop industries, how can you satisfy this possessive desire?"

"That's what it means to be fact-based."

After finishing taking notes, Shen Yi bowed his head and said sincerely: "Your Majesty's thoughts and deeds have been sacrificed for thousands of years, and they will last as long as the heaven and the earth. There will be three lights and eternal light."

Zhu Qiyu asked with a smile: "Why don't you say that I will live forever and never die?"

"Ah? This..." Shen Yi was dumb, His Majesty really didn't like slander, but Shen Yi always felt that he was telling the truth, not slander.

　When Yuan Bin was in intercourse, facing Zheng's daughter's embrace, he did not pretend to give it to King Xiang. At that time, Yuan Bin had a conversation with Tang Xing, probably because Yuan Bin felt that accepting it was kneeling, that is After surrendering to His Majesty's enemies, Yuan Bin only kneeled down to His Majesty.Tang Xing also asked, why do you still kneel when people give you money and women.The emperor and Yuan Bin were probably the same kind of people who refused to kneel, let alone surrender.Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! !
