Iron blood Suiming

() Thanks to the book friend 'drinking tea' for the reward, thank you!

Zhou Shipu took off the black cloth cover with trembling hands, who is not his wife?At this time, her mouth was still stuffed with a rag, and she was unable to speak, but her eyes were closed tightly, and two lines of tears kept flowing.

Zhou Shipu was finally sure at this time, but his whole body was exhausted. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowed to Li Jianguo repeatedly, and shouted: "My lord, save me, my lord, save me."

Li Jianguo coughed. He expected the shamelessness of these Ming Dynasty officials, but it was an eye-opener for him to be so shameless. No wonder Zhou Shipu was able to hold the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"Du An, tell Zhou Shipu about the crime committed by Zhou Wang." Li Kaiguo said.

When Du An saw the Zhou Wang family at this time, he thought of the big kidnapping case of Empress Zhou that happened earlier, and seeing Zhou Shipu's shameless behavior again, the anxiety had long since vanished, and on the contrary, he also despised Zhou Shipu for not doing so. Back then, when he heard Li Kaiguo's order, he quickly explained the kidnapping of Queen Zhou.

Among them, Zhang Fengyi, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, shouted, "Mr. Zhou, I didn't expect you to be an insider. Come on, hurry up and tell the emperor that Zhou Shipu's wife, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, is a bandit of the White Lotus Cult." Very realistic.

Zhou Shipu's complexion was very exciting, as Du An's narration continued to turn black and white, until the last sentence of Zhang Fengyi's words was learned, Zhou Shipu suddenly slapped Zhou Wang's face, and howled: "You Bitch, when did you join the cult? You...you killed my Zhou family."

Thinking of the big case of kidnapping the queen and his wife, this is a case of ransacking the family and exterminating the family.Zhou Shipu was so frightened that he cried. The dignified second-rank official of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry cried like a child. He sat on the ground and wailed loudly.

I really saw a strange person today. Li Jianguo only felt that the officials of Ming Dynasty challenged his cognition all the time. Zhou Shipu in front of him really made him speechless. If he was not needed, Li Jianguo would have killed him long ago.

"That's enough." Li Kaiguo shouted: "Crying for your nainai bear, crying so ugly at this age, cao..., I have nothing to say."

Zhou Shipu was frightened by him

"Have you brought the bill of lading?" Li Kaiguo shouted.

Immediately someone came in from outside the hall, it was the Baihu, his face was covered with sweat, he was holding a stack of bills, and was about to present it to Li Jianguo, but Li Jianguo waved his hand and said, "I won't read it, Read the total number and show it to Zhou Shipu."

The hundred households answered yes, and read: "From the second year of Chongzhen to the present, the total amount of money owed to Jinyiwei is 250 taels."

Zhou Shipu wiped away his tearful eyes. At this moment, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't make up his mind. He didn't know what Li Kaiguo ordered Nian to tell him about the salary owed to Jin Yiwei.

I just heard Li Kaiguo say: "You nainai, do you know how to read? It's 350, 320, 100 taels. If you miss a word, let your brother take [-] million taels less. Why don't you repeat it?"

The hundred households were startled, and after a closer look, it was two hundred, and then they realized that Li Jianguo was really black, and he added 100 million taels in one mouthful. Needless to say, this must be a benefit fee for Mr. Li.

Immediately, he changed his words and said: "This subordinate is confused. This subordinate misunderstood it. It is indeed 350 taels. Please punish me, my lord."

Li Jianguo ignored him at this time, and said to Zhou Shipu: "The emperor entrusted this case to my official to handle it with full power, and this official will not hide it from you. Once this matter happens, the emperor has the intention of killing you. You are a worker." Bu Shangshu, you know more about the emperor's mind than this official. Now that I intend to let you live, it depends on your sincerity."

Of course Zhou Shipu knew what Emperor Chongzhen was thinking. If their six books of ministers didn’t know what to think about, how could they rise to such a high position? Li Kaiguo said that he could even think clearly about what Emperor Chongzhen thought.He also knew that what Li Kaiguo said was true, otherwise Li Kaiguo was just an acquaintance, without the emperor's permission, how could he dare to be so arrogant.

But I don't know, even if there is no will of Emperor Chongzhen, Li Jianguo will always be so arrogant.Immediately said quickly: "I understand this, I understand, you adults have worked so hard, and the court has accumulated so much money. In this way, my Ministry of Industry still has some accumulated silver. I am the master, and I will first lend it to the inner treasury as the salary and distribute it to the adults." Ladies and gentlemen, I hope that adults will help me."

Li Jianguo shook his head, this Zhou Shipu is really on the road, just based on this, how can the Ming Dynasty not fall?When Zhou Shipu saw Li Jianguo shaking his head, he became very anxious and said: "If your lord is not satisfied, my Ministry of Industry can still squeeze in, so I can make up 400 million taels, and please take pity on my Zhou family. I will definitely still have a heart in the future." .”

But he didn't know that Li Jianguo shook his head to sigh that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were all Zhou Shipu, so what happened.His original intention was not for money, the money he wanted was just to confuse other people's thinking, so that those who stared at him could not understand his purpose.

Li Kaiguo said: "I understand your sincerity, but it is not easy to get rid of your Zhou family in this matter. I have heard that there are still remnants of the White Lotus Sect among the craftsmen in your Ministry of Industry. My official Let me ask you, where are the craftsmen who can build warships?"

Zhou Shipu was taken aback. The craftsmen who build warships are under the jurisdiction of his Ministry of Industry. Of course he knows where they are. Although he doesn't know Li Jianguo's intention for asking these questions, but these are not secrets, he immediately replied: "My lord, those who can build warships live There are more than 300 craftsmen in the capital, and there are 1000 or 7000 people on shifts. These are only in the capital. Some craftsmen are in shipyards, such as Nanjing Longjiang Shipyard, Huainan Qingjiang Shipyard, Shandong Beiqinghe Shipyard, and I can’t remember the big and small ones, but there are more than [-] people in the files of the Ministry of Industry.

Li Jianguo was surprised, he did not expect that there are so many craftsmen who can build warships.In fact, this is due to his ignorance. The Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the shipbuilding industry, which was inherited from the Yuan Dynasty.

In the seventh year of Yuan Shizu Zhiyuan (1270 A.D.), he ordered the construction of 7 warships and the training of 6 sailors.Three years later, an additional [-] or [-] sailors were ordered to be trained, and another [-] warships were built. In these two times alone, [-] warships were built.In the Ming Dynasty, the craftsmanship was simpler and faster. For a big battle, it only needed an order from the court, and the money could keep up, and as many warships as needed could be built.

Li Jianguo shook his head, cleared his mind, and asked, "Are these craftsmen listening to the Ministry of Industry's orders?"

Zhou Shipu smiled awkwardly, and said: "Your Excellency, you are joking. Except for the [-] people in the capital, the rest are under the supervision of the stationed eunuchs. If you want to mobilize them, you have to give orders from Eunuch Cao, the Chief of Rites."

Li Kaiguo thought: "That Cao Huachun? I didn't expect him to have so many good things in his hand. There are blank imperial edicts and craftsmen who build warships."
