Jinyi champion

Just because of his stubbornness, Zhu Si could not win the position of servant for Tang Yin.

Yang Tinghe will not make any compromises on Tang Yin's promotion to Minister of the Six Departments. It can be said that with Yang Tinghe in power for a day, it is impossible for Tang Yin to get permission to be promoted to Minister of the Sixth Division.

Of course, if Zhu Hao makes suggestions, there is still a chance.

But now Zhu Hao has expressed his attitude to Zhu Si, he needs to follow Tang Yin's wishes, let him rest for a year or two, so that he can take a good rest of his tired body and mind, and prepare for his official career again in the future...

Zhu Hao had to think about Tang Yin's body.

Zhu Hao was afraid that the wheel of history would come and take Tang Yin's life away, and Zhu Hao's efforts in the past few years would be in vain.

In the past, Zhu Hao thought it was a bit difficult to do this kind of thing. Even Zhu Houzhao who almost accidentally fell into the water and contracted pneumonia was not spared.

But after having the experience of renewing Liu Chun's life, Zhu Hao suddenly felt that maybe with him around, Tang Yinzhen wouldn't have to die?
For Tang Yin, the second year of Jiajing was already the gate of hell.

It's just that Tang Yin himself didn't feel it at all.

……

……

Afterwards.

Yang Tinghe returned to the cabinet with a serious expression.

Qiao Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, hurried to catch up, and asked anxiously, "Mr. Yang Ge, how do you think it will be safe to arrange Tang Yin's return to the court?"

Nowadays, even the staff of the Ministry of Officials must be based on Yang Tinghe's opinions, especially for people who are on the cusp of the storm like Tang Yin, the Ministry of Officials dares to make decisions and implement them based on Yang Tinghe's approval.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Yang Tinghe is the prime minister of Ming Dynasty today.

Yang Tinghe said: "If the position of the Shaoqing of the Nanwu Temple still does not satisfy His Majesty, we can arrange for the Shaoqing of the Beiwu Temple...or to be transferred to other places. In short...you can't let him be a minister. This is an insurmountable bottom line. "

"Understood."

Qiao Yu just said this to Yang Tinghe and left in a hurry.

Jiang Mian quickly reminded: "Don't tell Josh about the transfer of people from the Imperial Academy?"

After the year, there was another thing that attracted the attention of the court officials, that is, the emperor intended to send out the Hanlin officials who had previously jointly signed the memorial service after the expiration of the labor service period, and did not intend to keep these people in the six departments. , Five Temples, or Kedaozhong, but directly transferred to local officials.

It's like Zhu Houzhao's punitive measures for the 12th year of Zhengde when the Hanlin jointly knelt and admonished.

But that time Zhu Houzhao also used stick punishment, this time the emperor adopted a more gaudy way, sending people outside to work as coolies in the mine...

From the perspective of ordinary civil officials, there is no essential difference in its effect, and they are all means of humiliating literati.

There is no difference between suffering a lot and suffering a little, both of which make the person involved lose face.

Yang Tinghe shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has not made a statement in the court, so I can't say hello to the officials for the time being, so as not to... leave someone to talk about."

Right now, everyone is just speculating that the emperor might do this, but the emperor has not put it into practice. This matter is more about the emperor's insinuating methods to reveal relevant intentions.

"Tomorrow there will be a banquet at home, can Jie Fu honor it?"

Jiang Mian extended the invitation with a smile.

Yang Tinghe was startled for a moment, then nodded.

Friendship between colleagues is a common thing. One must know that Yang Tinghe and Jiang Mian are the first assistant and the second assistant. Where did they meet?
……

……

Tang Yin was still anxiously waiting in the Xuanfu for the final confirmation of his transfer back to the capital.

But Zhu Si had nothing to do, and actively carried out the plan of making people, but it didn't seem to have any effect.

Emperor Zhu's family, since Emperor Xiaozong, seemed to be cursed, and there was no rain without thunder, resulting in a thin population. For several generations, it was a single lineage.

Zhu Si was unhappy, but helpless.

At this time, Zhu Hao was still in Xishan, working on his "millennium plan" in full swing, which was to design and develop trains.

Xuan Dayi
The military and political power on the front line is now basically controlled by the emperor. If everything goes well in the future, Zang Feng will be in this position. From the capital to Xishan, and then to the Xuanda line, the transportation of troops and food can be carried out directly by train. In fact, it is not difficult to walk, except for the middle way of Juyongguan, the rest of the road is basically flat.

The principle of the train is not complicated, it is to use steel to make the track, then match it with wheels and carriages, and use a large steam locomotive to drive it.

The principle is not difficult, but what is difficult is how to create a monster like a train in an era of backward technology.

But Zhu Hao has a way.

After he arrived in Xishan Mountain, he worked as a coolie on the surface, but in fact the emperor sent someone to say hello. The steward of the mine arranged for him to keep accounts.

When he went to Yongping Mansion earlier, he had already done some preparations there.

A large number of craftsmen have already produced the shaped rails. The strength and toughness of the rails have reached the standard. Zhu Hao is not in a hurry to directly build the locomotive and carriages, but let people make the wheels first.

It is equipped with some smaller wheels to make a simple "human train".

This kind of rail trolley has already appeared in coal transportation in Xishan.

Zhu Hao changed the size of the rails to the size of the future trains to manufacture the matching carts, plus manpower... In just a few days, a section of 400 meters long rails was paved with the existing rails. Use this kind of cart to carry out the coal transportation operation up and down.

It is transported up and down the mountain, all the way downhill, with little effort.

When going uphill, the coal has been unloaded, and the manpower is relatively light... In this way, the work of transporting coal from the mountain to the downhill becomes much easier.

……

……

Zhu Hao knew that after he became an official, it was difficult for him to take care of the important task of becoming a technologically powerful country.

Taking advantage of Yang Tinghe's absence from his official position, he finds an opportunity to go to the workshops, mines, and construction sites to work and experiment on the front line. This kind of work is one day less. When he really gets a high position in the future, he may only be able to remotely monitor way to accomplish these.

At that time, it was estimated that the court could not do without him for a day.

Now that Yang Tinghe is in the court, Zhu Hao has actually saved a lot of energy. At least Zhu Hao doesn't have to take care of all aspects of the court. The current court system is running smoothly, and Yang Tinghe, an experienced official like Yang Tinghe, is responsible for major and minor affairs. Ching Ming.

But when Yang Tinghe retires... It is estimated that a group of veteran officials will also retire. How many newcomers will be able to provoke the leader?
At that time, Yang Tinghe's decision-making power did not belong to Yang Tinghe, but to Zhu Hao, just one decision-making power could make Zhu Hao burnt out.

So Zhu Hao took advantage of the fact that it was not time for him to take the lead, and implemented the matter of promoting technological progress as soon as possible.

Because the workload of the train system design alone is extremely huge, and the cost is also considerable. At present, Zhu Hao does not have control of the Daming Treasury, and it is obviously insufficient to raise funds by himself.

The first step of the plan is to transport the coal from Xishan to the capital and Yongping Prefecture by rail and manpower train.

The second step is to make the locomotive and carriages.

The third step is to extend the railway track from Xishan to Shanxi, and then open more coal mines in Shanxi, transport the coal mines in Shanxi to the capital, and then send them south through the Grand Canal, and then transport grain and military equipment to Shanxi by train. ...

The fourth step is to build more railway tracks, preferably connecting Beijing to Yangzhou by train.

With the current technical means, it is impossible to build a bridge on the Yangtze River.

The biggest problem right now is to dig mountains and build bridges, especially in the section from Xishan to Shanxi. To cross the Taihang Mountains, although it is possible to go around from the northern foot, the amount of work for digging the mountains is still huge, and there are many roads along the way. river……

To design the route, Zhu Hao needs to personally explore.

It cannot be measured by the railway routes of future generations, because the future generations have to improve the routes of several generations and the technology has also been formed before they can achieve a leap forward. However, Zhu Hao needs to use the simplest method and the smallest amount of engineering...
Make some detours and detours, and lay the rails all the way there.

……

……

Zhu Hao's time was only two short months.

At first, I thought there was plenty of time. After all, he was mainly responsible for the design when he came to Xishan, and he also worked as a supervisor by the way.

Unexpectedly, a month later, at the end of the first lunar month, Zhu Hao realized that there was really not enough time.

It's best to stay in Xishan for a year, and then go back and forth between Xishan and Yongping Mansion for a few times. It is estimated that some designs can be finally implemented...

When Zhu Hao was very busy with the train, Cai Ang brought Zhu Hao letters from his hometown, one of which was written by Wu Chengen.

"...The little friend of the Wu family was very happy to hear about your existence. He said he wanted to come to visit, but because he was preparing for the college entrance examination, he couldn't make it in the end."

Cai Ang smiled and sat on the stone platform, talking to Zhu Hao.

After more than a month of "labor reform", Cai Ang looks much more energetic than before.

Scholars are like this, lack of exercise, people look quite normal, but their bodies can't keep up.

Once you put down your books and devote yourself to production and labor, even if it doesn't take long, you can still see changes in your spirit.

Zhu Hao said, "Then... can you show me the letter?"

Cai Ang smiled and handed Wu Chengen's letter.

It was the first time for Zhu Hao to see the handwriting of famous historical masters. From the looks of it, it could only be called good. Although Wu Chengen had studied calligraphy in his youth, after all, Zhu Hao usually met peerless masters like Tang Yin.

Look at Wu Chengen's...

No wonder why Wu Chengen has only one book to remember in history, and calligraphy has never been able to enter the room.

"However, when we return to the capital, his spring school exams should be over, and he will come to the capital then. I told him that you admire him very much and want to help him recruit a supervisor...but even if he is a supervisor, You also need to have a reputation as a student? He doesn’t want to be an ordinary prisoner... For such things, it’s just a recommendation, and I’m afraid there will be no way.”

Cai Ang was actually quite curious.

Zhu Hao had never even seen a Wu Cheng'en, yet he admired and valued him so much?
He also said that he would help to set up a supervisor.

But the problem is...

Are supervisors so easy to get?
Do you want to donate a supervisor to Wu Chengen?After all, the Wu family has some family background... And why did you, Zhu Hao, sacrifice your money to help a stranger?
Even though Cai Ang didn't want to doubt Zhu Hao's motives, he was curious why Zhu Hao did this.
