Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 270 The emperor wants to share, the palace test is reduced by three

Zhu Youtang's eyes fell on Bengzhi's new fishing line, and he was also worried.

Grass carp is originally very strong, but now this fishing line newly developed by the Ministry of Industry really does not know whether it can hold it, once it breaks, it will have to be spared.

"You must carry it!" Chen Zheng looked at the fishing line that was stretched straight, his hands were tightly clenched together, and beads of sweat were already oozing from his forehead.

Because of the wild words at the beginning, "eat the king's salary, share the king's worries, personally supervise the craftsmen to make good threads, and never allow broken threads to reproduce", these half a year can be described as sleepless nights.

I thought that a small fishing line would definitely be able to catch a cow as long as the craftsmen did not cut corners.However, the reality is so cruel.

Fishing line is simply a technical work. Although the hemp rope used by the tracker to pull the boat is strong, it is destined to not be able to tie the small fishhook, and the thread used for threading the needle will break when pulled.

Fortunately, hard work pays off, and this time the fishing line borrowed from the practice of the savage Jurchen.

Although the savage Jurchen are located in a cold and bitter place, the deer tendon rope they made is extremely strong.Choose the back of the deer, along the two long strips of fascia on both sides of the spine, after drying, you can tear off three thin threads to weave a small deer tendon rope.

The Fishing Tackle Artisan Department of the Ministry of Industry found a large number of high-quality deer tendons, and then tried repeatedly.After integrating the previous experience of weaving fishing lines with horse mane and combining with Daming's rope weaving techniques, we finally obtained this new fishing line with stronger load-bearing capacity.

It's just that after so many failed experiments, he has already been exhausted physically and mentally.If he failed again, he would rather let the emperor take off his black hat for the crime of ineffectiveness.

Whoa!

The wild grass carp looked very vigorous, and suddenly its tail slapped heavily on the water surface, causing a small splash of water.

Huh?
Seeing the splash of water, Zhu Youtang's eyes couldn't help but light up slightly. The most irritable moment of this grass carp has passed, and the new fishing line actually managed the struggle of this grass carp.

After taking off most of the strength of the grass carp, the three-pound grass carp seemed to give up struggling and was being pulled in shallow water by the fishing line.

Zhu Youtang saw that this grass carp was successfully handled by him. Although it cannot be compared with the double-digit grass carp in later generations, it is probably the largest grass carp that can be caught in this world.

Inadvertently, I seem to be making history.

"Your Majesty, the thread is not broken, the thread is not broken!"

Liu Jin and Zhu Youtang have been fishing for so long. Although they don't have much fishing talent, they still have good eyesight. Seeing that the grass carp's resistance in the water is getting weaker and weaker, they look excited and authentic.

This……

Han Youying's beautiful eyes looked curiously at the shallow water area, and she saw that the grass carp was already swimming weakly with the fishing line.

Although her family is in the tea business, there is a small river next to the workshop, and people often fish there.She knew that usually only some small fish and shrimps could be caught, but she had never heard of anyone who could catch such a big fish.

Seeing that the fishing line did not break, Chen Zheng kept chanting words of thanks to the gods, and the black hat on his head was finally kept.

"copy!"

Zhu Youtang has never dared to make a big deal, even later generations will inevitably copy the net, and now naturally he still needs this auxiliary tool to help complete the final finishing work.

The leaders of the [-]th Battalion of the Beijing Camp took turns to come to Xiyuan to be on duty, and today it was the turn of Zhang Yong, the leader of the Shenji Battalion.

Zhang Yong is actually good at water, and he was already at the lakeside with a copying net designed by Zhu Youtang himself. When he saw the grass carp being pulled over, he looked very decisive and started copying it against the head of the fish.

Grass carp was caught in the net and lifted up.

"Zhang Yong, take it here and have a look!" Liu Jin urged from the bottom of his heart to see the catch.

Zhang Yong was also very happy to see that Zhu Youtang actually caught a three-pound grass carp, and he sent the grass carp to Zhu Youtang with admiration on his face.

Zhu Youtang looked at the golden grass carp in front of him, felt that this grass carp was the best grass carp in the world, and felt a sense of pride in his heart.

In fact, the most exciting thing is that this fishing line has made a small breakthrough. Although nylon line has not been available so far, it is a good result to find such a strong fishing line from the fascia of deer.

Originally, he only regarded fishing as a hobby, but after looking at the rich resources in Taiye Pond, he always felt that Huaxia was not enough to develop the resources of rivers, and he was not enthusiastic enough about the sea.

Maybe even he didn't know it, but some ideas had already taken root in his heart.

Zhu Youtang noticed that the loyal little old man next to him smiled with only a few good teeth left, so he praised: "Chen Qing, this new fishing rod is very good, and the fishing line is stronger than before. I am very satisfied!"

"This is the duty of the ministers and craftsmen of the Fishing Tackle Department!" Chen Zheng said with a smile when he received such praise.

Zhu Youtang knew that this group of people could achieve this result, so they must have put in a lot of sweat, and immediately rewarded them: "Chen Qing and the craftsmen of the Fishing Tackle Department have contributed to making new fishing lines. Everyone rewards ten cloth tickets!"

Now cloth tickets have become an absolute hard currency, because cloth tickets can also be exchanged for sterling silver in the newly established bank of the royal family, so cloth tickets are now more sought-after than silver.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" Knowing that there was still a reward, Chen Zheng hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

The grass carp was placed on a large wooden basin filled with clear water, and it seemed to swim so spiritually that Zhang Yong couldn't help but look at it more.

Zhu Youtang touched the fishing line made of deer tendon curiously, and suddenly expressed emotion: "Zhang Yong, this deer tendon is really a good thing, when you beat Jurchen last year, why didn't you think of getting more deer tendon? "

"Your Majesty, please punish me for your lack of consideration!" Zhang Yong was first slightly taken aback, and then took the initiative to admit his mistake.

No matter what the truth is, no matter whether it is justified or not, all excuses are infidelity.In the face of the emperor's sudden pickiness, the only thing to do is to take the initiative to admit his mistakes.

Chen Zheng couldn't help but glanced at Zhang Yong sympathetically, he wasn't a prophet, how could he know that this humble deer tendon had such value at that time.

No, it doesn't seem to be of much value. Who can have leisure time to fish every day, this deer tendon is too difficult for me to chew.

"Your Majesty, please use tea!" Seeing that Zhu Youtang was finally free, Han Youying delivered a cup of freshly brewed tea to her face.

Zhu Youtang likes the current fishing life with tea and beauties very much. He picked up the teacup but suddenly asked with a straight face: "Has your Aegis camp relaxed recently?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is still a practice every five days!" Zhang Yong is now proud of the Aegis Battalion, and immediately replied seriously.

Huh?
When Zhang Zheng saw Zhu Youtang suddenly dragging the matter to SHIELD Ying, he looked up at the young emperor in confusion.

Since the establishment of the Aegis Battalion, it first went to Jianzhou Jurchen, and then went to the southwest battlefield. Now it has become the first battalion worthy of the name of the Jingying Battalion.

It's just that all the places are peaceful, the Li Dynasty that once provoked Ming Dynasty no longer exists, Mongolia and Ming Dynasty are now in the honeymoon period, and North Korea has been obediently surrendering to Ming Dynasty.

Just like that, he didn't understand why His Majesty still paid so much attention to the Aegis Battalion, and even asked the Aegis Battalion to be diligent in training.

Zhu Youtang took a sip of tea, looked at the spring grass next to him and said with emotion: "It's spring now! You should prepare well, and lead your troops to Liaodong on the [-]st of next month!"

what?
Zhang Zheng's eyes widened suddenly, and he suddenly realized that the young emperor in front of him was going to go to Jianzhou again.

"Slave servant leads the order!" Zhang Yong knew what he was going to do on this trip to Liaodong, and thought of returning halfway because the army rations couldn't run, he expressed his position with high fighting spirit at this moment.

Zhu Youtang blew on the hot air in the cup, and said very casually: "Jianzhou Jurchen was originally a guard of Daming, but there are such good things as deer tendons in Jianzhou. Since they have not been offered to the court for many years, it shows that Jiannu There is no king and no father. Let the Jianzhou Jurchens turn in [-] deer tendons within a month, and I will share the joy of fishing with all people in the world, otherwise I will burn the Jianzhou Jurchens to the ground!"

"Slave obeys the order!" Zhang Yong's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he bowed his hands solemnly.

This……

Chen Zheng looked at the young emperor in front of him with complicated eyes, it was really too cruel.

[-] deer tendons, and only one month's time is required, this is clearly an excuse to start a war against the Jianzhou Jurchen.Once the war starts, I am afraid that tens of thousands of people will die. He is simply a real tyrant.

What disturbed him the most was that this incident seemed to be caused by himself.If they hadn't found deer tendon to make fishing line, and made such a strong and easy-to-use fishing line, the Jianzhou Jurchen might not have suffered such a catastrophe.

Zhu Youtang drank all the remaining tea, and told the solemn Chen Zheng: "Chen Qing, the research on fishing lines can stop here, or you can try nylon lines. It's just that the fishing line is thinner and more comfortable. Make it stronger, your Ministry of Industry has to work harder on refined iron!"

"I obey the order!" Chen Zheng came back to his senses, and immediately said respectfully.

Seeing that Liu Jin had put the bait back on, Zhu Youtang threw the pole into the water and said, "Get back!"

"Resign!" Chen Zheng respectfully saluted, and then left here with a young eunuch.

"Your Majesty, what should we do with this fish?" Huang Kai saw the grass carp churning in the wooden basin filled with clear water, so he bit the bullet and stepped forward to ask for instructions.

Zhu Youtang didn't know whether it was not polluted in this era, or the quality of the grass carp produced in Taiye Pond was better, so he ordered: "Put the grass carp in the newly built fish pond immediately and feed it with broad beans every day!"

"Broad beans?" Huang Pan suspected that he had heard wrong.

Zhu Youtang didn't want to explain too much, so he waved his hands unquestionably: "Just do what I want!"

"Obey!" Huang Pan swallowed and spit, and then said politely.

call out!
Seeing the sudden sinking of the buoy, Zhu Youtang immediately picked up the pole and stabbed the fish with sharp eyes and hands. When wrestling with this fierce grass carp, he immediately felt the joy of soaring adrenal hormones.

Soon, grass carp was caught.

Although this grass carp is smaller than the one just now, but the grass carp is very strong, and this kind of pulling process made Zhu Youtang quite addicted.

Compared with the small fish caught last year, pulling this kind of vigorous grass carp now feels a different kind of happiness, and even makes people want to stop.

Han Youying looked at Zhu Youtang, who was fishing frequently, and saw the man who was enjoying the joy of fishing, and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise a nice arc.

In fact, she really likes the current life, making tea for this man here every day, watching him enjoy the pleasure of fishing, she is already very happy.

After Zhu Youtang caught the fifth grass carp, he found that the sky was full of red clouds in the west and it was still early.

Obviously I have been staying in Xiyuan, but in the South Pavilion, looking at the scenery in front of me, I feel like I am in another world.

It's just that he knows in his heart that although Xiyuan is owned by him alone, the area of ​​Xiyuan is too large, and there are even several areas that he has never set foot in.

Seeing Zhu Youtang suddenly approaching, Han Youying felt flustered.

Today, she also specially dressed up, and she was looking forward to something in her heart, but at this moment, she felt an indescribable nervousness, and she could even hear her own heartbeat.

"The fish ran away just now, did you snicker?" Zhu Youtang hugged Han Youying, and found that Han Youying's smell was very fragrant.

Since the last time in the imperial study room, the two of them had no physical contact.It's just that after such a long time, I found that Han Youying was even more attractive, not only her skin became whiter, but her figure became obviously more feminine.

Han Youying panicked suddenly: "Your servant is guilty!"

"If you make a mistake, you will be punished!" Zhu Youtang found that this woman did have a pair of good legs, and she was like a work of art.

Han Youying knew that she couldn't escape, but she still said nervously: "Slave... isn't it good here?"

"I remember you said that you wanted to be a noble concubine!" Zhu Youtang said with a bit of bitterness as he looked at the pretty face that was dyed red by the rosy clouds in front of him.

If there is any regret, it is the last effort, and there is still no harvest.

Han Youying nodded lightly, and when she was about to take the initiative to remove her clothes, she realized that Liu Jin had led someone to move a screen to surround the big stone table, and she felt that she had misunderstood.

Zhu Youtang tossed Han Youying up and walked into the bedroom temporarily made up of screens.

If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price.Han Youying's untimely laughter was eventually exchanged for bursts of crying, which sounded from the south of the [-]-acre water area.

A water dragonfly was resting on a branch by the lake, and a larger water dragonfly swooped from behind. Spring was inadvertently full of spring.

After the end of February, time flies.

When March just started, the highest level palace examination of the Ming Dynasty was ushered in, so Xinke Gongshi will complete the real transformation in this examination.

Ordinarily, the [-] Xinke Gongshi will definitely participate in this palace examination that can get the title of Jinshi, but there are some things that can never be expected.

Two candidates suddenly received the news of the death of their father at home. According to the filial piety system of Ming Dynasty, this palace examination will not be taken until three years later.

There was a candidate who was overexcited in high school and died of a heart attack, so it was impossible to run in from the coffin to participate in the palace exam.

Just as there is a decrease, there is an increase. Two years ago, a tribute who had kept his filial piety for a year because of his mother's death came to participate in this year's palace examination, so the actual number of people in this year's palace examination is [-].
