Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 649 Your Majesty, I have important matters
"I remember that the leader of the White Armed Soldier is Qin Liangyu, this Qin Liangyu is the widow of Ma Qiancheng, for so many years, he has fought continuously for the Ming Dynasty, so he can be called a heroine.

Since she ran away, let her run away.Now that Chongqing Mansion has been taken down by us, leaving her alone will have little impact on the overall situation.

Our army is strong, even if Qin Liangyu ran out and pulled out a team, he would not be our opponent.Send an order to imprison Qin Yiming and watch him carefully. The day after tomorrow, he will be escorted to Chengdu. "

Gao Pingliang looked at the messenger and said.

The messenger saluted, and hurried away with Gao Pingliang's order.

After taking down the Chongqing government, the first thing Gao Pingliang did was to appease the local people.

This has become an old tradition among Zhao Wen's soldiers and horses. No matter where they are, as long as they take down the city, the first thing they do is to appease the local people.

Because the grain in Gao Pingliang's hands is limited, Gao Pingliang did not distribute all of the grain stored in Chongqing Fucheng to the people, but distributed part of it.

Gao Pingliang did not choose to attack immediately to attack the southern part of Chongqing Prefecture. After all, Zizhong's grain and grass had not yet been delivered.

Gao Pingliang decided not to send troops until the food and grass Zizhong was delivered.

……

Zhao Wen sat in the imperial study, looking at a map of Sichuan on the table.

"It is estimated that in one or two months, Sichuan will be able to win all. The southern part of Sichuan is Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou. There is no flat land here, and there is no clear sky for three days. The mountains are high and the forests are dense. In addition, it is summer and the weather is humid. , Miasma and mosquitoes keep coming, I am afraid it will not be so easy to completely take down this place in a short time.

Moreover, the control of the Ming court over this place is still relatively weak, and the place is basically managed by chieftains.The chieftain forces are intricate, and now that Liu Wu and the others have just captured Sichuan, they have to rest.Therefore, it is still too early to attack the land of Yunnan and Guizhou. Zhao Wen murmured looking at the map on the table.

"Donglai, take out the map of Shandong Huguang." Zhao Wen looked at Chen Donglai who was standing behind him.

Chen Donglai hastily bowed in salute, and then took out the maps of Shandong and Huguang from the nearby bookshelf.

Chen Donglai spread the map on the table in front of Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen looked at the maps of Shandong and Huguang, his eyes were full of ambition.

"The land of Yunnan and Guizhou will not be taken down for a while, but Huguang and Shandong can be taken down." Zhao Wen slapped the map on the table with a slap.

"Let all the officials of the Military Academy come to see me!" Zhao Wen said loudly.

Chen Donglai hastily bowed and saluted, and then walked out of the imperial study with Zhao Wen's order.

After a while, all the officials of the Military Academy appeared in the imperial study.

Zhao Wen looked at the officials standing in the imperial study room, and said, "The soldiers and horses I put in Shanxi have been resting for a long time, and it's time to let them go out.

Now Henan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi have all fallen into our hands, and Sichuan is about to be taken down.Therefore, I decided to use troops against Huguang, Shandong, and strive to take these two places before the Chinese New Year.

After you go down today, make a plan for using troops in Huguang and Shandong, and report it to me in time.Also, all the factories in the city are running at full speed for me to prepare for the war. "

The officials of the Military Academy headed by Qi Qingtian bowed to Zhao Wen and received Zhao Wen's order.

Today's Zhao Wennai is the founding emperor, and he is a one-sided existence in the new dynasty. These officials in the Military Academy can only obey orders.

A considerable number of these officials in the Military Academy are counselors transferred from the army by Zhao Wen.

Counselors were originally scholars. After such a long period of training in the army, they can also skillfully use various strategies.

After Qi Qingtian and the others went down, Zhao Wen looked at Chen Donglai who was standing behind him, "Take a few people and go to the Mint."

Chen Donglai nodded, and hastily made arrangements.

Since Zhao Wen confiscated the homes of Prince Fu and other princes, he transported all the silver of these princes back to Xuanzhen. into silver coins.

Zhao Wen hadn't been to the mint for a long time, so Zhao Wen planned to inspect it today. After all, the mint was the economic lifeline of the new dynasty.

According to the rules and regulations formulated by Zhao Wen, the Mint and Daming Bank are directly under the management of the royal family. After all, it is better for such things to be in the hands of Zhao Wen.

In addition to the mint, Zhao Wen also divided the various factories in his hands in detail.

Ironworks, cement factories, glass factories, canning factories, and clothing factories are still under the management of the royal family, and private businesses are not allowed.After all, in this era, these things are either strategic materials or very valuable materials.

These factories currently have almost no income except for the cement factory, cannery factory and glass factory, and the steel factory has almost no income.After all, in this era, the private demand for steel is really too little.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhao Wen to let the royal family control these factories all the time. In the future, when the world is settled, Zhao Wen will gradually loosen these policies and allow the private sector to open these factories.

However, it is impossible for Zhao Wen to allow the private sector to run these two factories, the iron and steel plant and the cement plant.Except for the royal family, it can only be opened by the local government or the government of various ministries in the capital under the supervision of the royal family.

Zhao Wen came to the outside of the mint wearing casual clothes and riding a war horse.

The defenders outside the Mint are the Royal Guards, and their military uniforms are all new military uniforms, with golden dragon logos rusted on the collar and cuffs.

Zhao Wen walked into the mint and came to a production workshop.

The sound of the steam engine punching silver coins inside kept ringing, and silver coins were produced every moment.

Accompanied by the head of the mint, Zhao Wen inspected all the production lines.

"Your Majesty, there is less than a quarter of the silver deposits sent by His Majesty before, and in another seven or eight days, all of them will be manufactured."

Zhao Wen walked out of the mint and came outside the mint. The head of the mint followed behind Zhao Wen, explaining in detail the current work of the mint.

Zhao Wen nodded, "Strive to mint all these silver coins. In a short time, the world will be completely settled, and the whole world will use silver coins. Although it seems that a lot of silver coins have been minted now, the silver coins minted For the whole world, it’s still a drop in the bucket.”

"The next official will receive the order!" The principal saluted Zhao Wen and said respectfully.

"The food for the workers in the mint should also be better, so as not to cause problems for the personnel. We conquer the world at a faster speed, and the speed of minting silver coins must also be increased.

These workers in the mint are all skilled workers, and the food problem cannot cause workers to get sick. After all, one skilled worker is much faster than five or six apprentices. "Zhao Wen ordered.

"Your majesty takes orders! Don't worry, Your Majesty. This mint official will definitely look good on His Majesty." The master patted his chest and said solemnly.

Zhao Wen waved his hand, "I'm going back first, you go now!"

After Zhao Wen finished speaking, he stepped on his horse and headed for the palace.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the palace, Zhao Wen saw Wang Qi who was waiting for him outside the palace.

When Wang Qi saw Zhao Wen approaching, he greeted him anxiously.

"Go in and talk!" Zhao Wen jumped off his horse and looked at Wang Qi.

Wang Qi nodded and followed Zhao Wen to the imperial study.

When Zhao Wen came to the imperial study room, Zhao Wen cleared out all the people in the imperial study room, leaving only Wang Qi.

"Meet Your Majesty!" Wang Qi saluted first, then stood in front of Zhao Wen, "Your Majesty, there is a situation!"

Zhao Wen sat across from Wang Qi, behind the desk, "What's the situation? Be more specific!"

Zhao Wen frowned and looked at Wang Qi.

Wang Qi is the commander of the Dianqian Division, who is responsible for supervising civil servants.Now that Zhao Wen is going to use his troops on a large scale, if there is a problem with the officials in the city at this time, it will have a bad influence on the war.

"Your Majesty, it has something to do with Tang Ruowang. Yesterday, one of Tang Ruowang's entourage was going to Dengzhou to leave by boat and go to Java.

Nowadays, there are so many people going to Java, so Dengzhou also has sea boats going to Java.If it were ordinary people, we wouldn't care about it.

But this person was one of Tang Ruowang's followers, and His Majesty had asked his ministers to closely monitor these people before.Therefore, when he left the gate of Xuanzhen, we stopped him and conducted a strict inspection on him.

After we checked, we found a book that seemed to be related to a course taught at the university. "Wang Qi looked at Zhao Wen solemnly.

Zhao Wen once issued an order that all content in the university is prohibited from going to sea, in order to prevent it from being obtained by the West at this time.

When Zhao Wen heard that it was related to the university courses, and he was one of Tang Ruowang's attendants, and he was going to Java by sea boat, Zhao Wen suddenly became vigilant.

"Is this person Tang Ruowang's entourage? What exactly does he do? Is he a teacher at the university? Where is the book he is carrying?" Zhao Wen's eyes were half-closed, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

"Your Majesty, the person was stopped yesterday morning. Since yesterday, we have conducted a detailed investigation on this person. According to our investigation, this person is only a follower of Tang Ruowang, and he has no position in the university. It's just Help Tang Ruowang and take care of Tang Ruowang's daily life.

As for the books he was carrying, the minister had already brought them. "

As Wang Qi spoke, he took out a booklet from his bosom and placed it in front of Zhao Wen.

"My lord, I don't know the writing on it. It seems to be Flang Jiwen. We are located in the north, so no one should know these writings." Wang Qi pointed to the booklet on the table and said.

Zhao Wen picked up the booklet on the table, flipped through a page, and realized that the words on it were not in English.

It was filled with densely packed words that Zhao Wen didn't know, which made Zhao Wen feel dizzy.

Zhao Wen can speak English, but not this French language.Although the letters look similar, the difference in the meaning of the words is not a star and a half.

"Your Majesty, what should we do next?" Wang Qi looked at Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen put down the booklet in his hand, frowned and said, "I don't know the contents of this booklet.

Although I don't know each other, except for Tang Ruowang and the others, there are people who do.Go to the third regiment of the first division of the Guards to find a battalion commander named Chen Daming. Before that, he had been running with Zheng Yiguan on the sea. He could speak and write the languages ​​of Flangji and Hongyi.

Zheng Yiguan recommended him to me when he was attacking Taiyuan Island and Java.He also helped me a lot, and I brought him back when I saw him excited.

By the way, what about the follower?where are you now? "

"Returning to Your Majesty, we have already imprisoned him. Because of the emergency, we blocked the news. I guess Tang Ruowang and the others probably don't know about it." Wang Qi replied.

Zhao Wen nodded, "You did a good job, that's how it should be. How about this, you find Tang Ruowang for me first."

Wang Qi saluted, and then left the imperial study.

Not long after, Tang Ruowang stood in the imperial study.

Tang Ruowang is wearing the official uniform and hat of the new dynasty. Except for his appearance, he is no different from the officials of the new dynasty in other places.

After Tang Ruowang saluted, he stood in front of Zhao Wen respectfully.

Zhao Wen didn't speak, but squinted his eyes and kept looking at Tang Ruowang.

After a long time, Zhao Wen asked: "I heard that one of your followers is going to Dengzhou and then go to Java by boat?"

Tang Ruowang didn't know why Zhao Wen asked such a question, but he still replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, it is so. His name is Tesbad, and he is one of my followers. He has lived here for a long time, so I want to Go back home and have a look."

"Then did he bring anything with him when he went back?" Zhao Wen asked indistinctly.

"I brought some, but they are some local products, glass mirrors, ceramics and so on. Oh, yes, besides these, there is also a book I wrote introducing Xuan Town." Tang Ruowang did not dare to hide it, Said everything.

"Introduce Xuanzhen's book? Is it just an introduction to Xuanzhen? Could it be that it also introduces everything in the university course?" Zhao Wen's face began to turn cold.

When Tang Ruowang heard this, the sweat on his forehead kept flowing down.

"Returning to Your Majesty, it is indeed just a book introducing Xuanzhen. Your Majesty has ordered before that no one is allowed to spread the courses in the university, so the book I wrote is only a book introducing Xuanzhen."

Hearing this, Tang Ruowang also understood what happened.

"Look what this is!" Zhao Wen lifted up the book on the table and shook it in front of Tang Ruowang.

Tang Ruowang looked at the book in Zhao Wen's hand, and suddenly understood everything.

Tesbad must have been imprisoned, otherwise this book would not be here.

"Do you know what the courses in the university mean to the whole world?" Zhao Wen looked at Tang Ruowang coldly. "I remember that I said before that you are forbidden to go out of Xuanzhen at will. Why do you take my voice as a deaf ear? And you are still carrying books?"
