Nanming: I can build wonders

Chapter 599 The man behind the scenes surfaced

Liu Zhaoyang was sweating on his forehead, knelt on the ground hastily, knelt down and knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down, this matter is indeed negligent, but Jin Yiwei is loyal to His Majesty, and will never lie to His Majesty!"

In the face of Zhu Kezang's anger, Zhang Tingyu was the first to speak out: "Your Majesty, Lord Liu is not to blame for this matter. I have repeatedly tried to thoroughly investigate the Xu family's tobacco shop, but the Xu family is deeply rooted and blocked many times."

"Your Majesty, Jinyiwei has also heard about this matter. I have reported the situation to Chen Weiguo, the commander of Jinyiwei, and will take necessary actions in the near future."

After regaining Shuntian, Chen Weiguo was promoted from the governor to the commander.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Kezang probably knew what was going on.

Collusion between government and businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River is relatively common, or it can be said that this is more or less the case in developed areas.

Regardless of ancient times or modern times, once the economy is developed, the education industry will flourish, and the education industry will flourish, and the economy will also develop sooner or later.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangxi were the most developed economies.

The number of Jinshi and No. [-] scholars has long been at the forefront of the provinces.

Officials born and trained in Jiangnan will naturally turn to the rich households in Jiangnan. In addition, the new Ming Dynasty encourages business and loosens business constraints, so it is not surprising that there is collusion between officials and businessmen.

What China has always had, even Zhu Kezang cannot change.

For some big taxpayers, as well as businessmen who have shelter and talk from the local government.

And this time was unusual.

To be able to stop Zhang Tingyu, the very popular county magistrate, this person must have a lot of status.

That being the case, lead the snake out of its hole!
【Songjiang Prefecture】

A guard of hundreds of people, surrounded by more than a dozen carriages, drove into Huating City, and there were many officials in various uniforms among the entourage.

The people of Songjiang Mansion took a closer look, and found that these people were all high officials from the capital!

With such a huge lineup, the people in the city stopped to watch and talked a lot.

People with a little brain guessed that they must be imperial envoys sent by the imperial court.

To say that the topic of conversation in Songjiang Mansion and Shanghai County is that Xu Jun. A while ago, he was beaten up by a group of men in black, which made the people in Shanghai County and Songjiang Mansion feel happy.

Combined with this incident, everyone guessed whether the imperial court was going to punish the Xu family!

The team marched all the way, and were arranged to stay in a forest garden. Lu Qian, the prefect of Songjiang, led the officials in the mansion to clean up the imperial envoys.

Lu Qian was the eldest son of Lu Daqi, Minister of the Ministry of War of the Yongli Dynasty in the Southern Ming Dynasty and a scholar of Wuyingdian University Wensu Gong.

Lu Daqi served in the four dynasties of Chongzhen, Hongguang, Longwu, and Yongli, and died of illness in 1650. They all shouted "It is urgent to avenge the shame and get rid of the evil!"

It's just that killing thieves with intentions can't bring them back to heaven. That era was the darkest era of Ming Dynasty.

Lu Qian inherited the talents of his father's generation, and he is considered a top performer in poetry, calligraphy and painting, but he is not so good as an official.

In the garden, there was a banquet, and everyone chatted happily. The officials of Nanzhili, as well as Lu Qian, the prefect of Songjiang, expressed their full cooperation in the work of the imperial envoy.

At this time, Dai Zi, the right servant of the imperial envoy on behalf of the Ministry of Industry, raised his wine glass and said with a mysterious smile: "Everyone, on behalf of the central court of the Ming Dynasty, I thank you for your cooperation. I hope that after the case is over, when the celebration banquet is held, everyone And have a drink with me!"

The prefect of Songjiang and many officials looked a little embarrassed, and many raised their glasses in agreement, "We will definitely cooperate with the court!"

By the way, Dai Zi is the Dai Zi in history, the one who was exiled by Kangxi.

And Dai Zi was born in a family of firearms manufacturers in the late Ming Dynasty, and became a citizen of the Qing Dynasty after the Qing soldiers entered the pass.

Because of family ties, Dai Zi often followed his elders to the arsenal since he was a child. Curious, he also developed a great interest in the development of weapons.

In this regard, Dai Zi has shown an extraordinary talent. He not only likes to read books about firearms manufacturing, but also makes them by himself.

When Dai Zi was only 10 years old, he was able to independently make some simple gunpowder weapons, which amazed many people, and they all felt that he would inherit the Dai family's legacy and manufacture more weapons in the future.

Seeing this, his father began to focus on training Dai Zi, and taught him a lot of firearm manufacturing techniques.

Even later, the Lianzhu firecracker was developed, which has always been considered the predecessor of the machine gun.

It's a pity that Dai Zi's official career is not going well, and his enemy is the missionary Nan Huairen.

Nan Huairen once preached to Emperor Kangxi that there was a "child-mother cannon" (also known as "Sky Cannon", that is, a howitzer) in Europe, which was extremely powerful, and Kangxi allocated funds for him to try it out, but there was no result.

Therefore, Dai Zi asked to be supervised to build the "Sub-Mother Cannon". As a result, it took only eight days to complete it.

This made Nan Huairen lose face in front of Kangxi.

There cannot be two tigers on the same mountain. They are both Kangxi's close ministers and firearms experts, coupled with the differences in Chinese and Western cultures and technological concepts, it is inevitable that Dai Zi and Nan Huairen will have conflicts and frictions.

Zhang Xianzhong had an adopted son named Chen Hongxun, who took refuge in the Qing court and became an official. Later, he and Dai Zi had personal disputes, which developed into mutual fights and lawsuits.

At this time, some people who were usually jealous of Dai Zi, especially Nan Huairen and others, found an opportunity to retaliate. They secretly colluded with Chen Hongxun, took the opportunity to frame Dai Zi, and reported Dai Zi as "fornicating Japanese pirates".

As an important person in charge of the imperial court's secrets, he actually knows a lot about foreign countries!
This made Kangxi so angry that he believed the slander and ordered Dai Zi to be dismissed from his post and the whole family to be exiled to the Kanto.

Fortunately, before all this happened, Kang Mazi and Nan Huairen were driven away by Zhu Kezang.

Dai Zi, a talented weapon master, was naturally acquired by Zhu Kezang.

Originally, he was trying his best to attack the hand-cranked Gatling gun for a while.

He absolutely loves this project!
In order to complete the Gatling project as soon as possible, he sleeps day and night, thinking about building a real machine gun as soon as possible.

As a result, the emperor actually sent him as an imperial envoy.

Well, let's take it for a while to relax. He happened to encounter a bottleneck, and it was relatively inefficient to keep working behind closed doors.

In addition, Dai Zi is upright and outspoken, which is why Zhu Kezang asked him to lead a team to thoroughly investigate the Xu family.

When Dai Zi arrived in Songjiang, an unexpected person also arrived in Songjiang Mansion.

He is Hong Lei, a veteran minister in the Dongning period and the official minister of the imperial court.

At this time, Hong Lei secretly met Xu Qianxue in a painting boat by the Huangpu River.

In the past six months, His Majesty the Emperor has gone to Tianzhu to fight. The affairs of the court are basically decided by Prime Minister Chen Yonghua and Minister of the Household Department Yang Ying.

This made him, an old minister, very uncomfortable.

In addition, the business tax reform and Yang Ying had a bad relationship, so he began to figure out how to remove Yang Ying.

At this time, Xu Qianxue, whose disciples and old officials are all over the world, appeared at the right time.

The two hit it off immediately, and soon came together in embarrassment.

Hong Lei gave power, Xu Qianxue gave money and connections, and both sides took what they needed.

Unfortunately, there is no impenetrable wall in the world!
