Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 134 Police Tianzhu of the Ming Dynasty

Upon hearing what he said, Zhu Yuanzhang was really confused. Does this kid really have any ideas?
So, out of curiosity, he immediately asked: "Tell me about it!"

Hu Weiyong beside him was also puzzled, is it really true?
To be honest, he didn't believe it!
An average person would never think of a consort’s idea in his lifetime, but how many ideas does the consort have?What do you think of when you see it?How did this brain grow?

If he had one thought after another every day, he would probably be talking about the good things about the emperor and his relatives at the end of the day. Who would support him as the prime minister?Maybe one day, the position of prime minister will even be taken by this consort!
When he was thinking about it, he heard Zhang Yifan answer Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, my son is thinking, it's just ordinary stones that can be fired into cement after a very high temperature, and that's how the iron originally came from. Is it possible that after such a high temperature, it will become better iron? Logically speaking, is it because the higher temperature burns away the impurities in the iron ore?"

The main difference between steel and iron is the carbon content.However, the melting point of steel is high, which means that molten steel requires a higher temperature.

At this time in ancient times, most of the sources of steel were through continuous forging, which was commonly known as steelmaking, and the cost was very high.

If the temperature is raised, steel production becomes easier.

However, there are problems here.The current structure of cement workshops can increase the temperature in the kiln, but the fuel used is coal, and coal contains impurities such as phosphorus and sulfur, which are harmful.

As for the entire Ming Dynasty, the quality of steel in the north has always been inferior to that in the south, but we don’t know why. After later analysis, it was found that coal was used as fuel in the north, while wood was used in the south, such as Foshan. This was the difference.

Of course, at this moment, Zhang Yifan couldn't be so specific. He just threw out this idea. When Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to do it, he would pretend to study it, test it, spend a period of time and then switch to the correct method.

perfect!

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang heard his words and subconsciously frowned and thought about it.

In other matters, such as military, political, people's livelihood, etc., Zhu Yuanzhang has experience and does not need to use his brain like this.But what Zhang Yifan put forward often went beyond his previous knowledge. Therefore, it was a bit difficult to analyze it using the knowledge stored in the past.

Not even Hu Weiyong dared to say whether what Zhang Yifan said was right or wrong?
After all, when cement is fired, it is indeed the product of increased temperature. So do you think the iron material will become better after being heated to high temperatures?

He has no experience in this area either!
Zhang Yifan felt a little proud when he saw them meditating.With a knowledge reserve that is more than 800 years ahead of them, they have this advantage. If they miss anything, they can think about it.

It's really not that easy for Hong Wuchao's wage earners, they can mess around as much as they can, and live their lives according to their own ideas, so that they are comfortable!

While he was feeling proud, there was movement on Zhu Yuanzhang's side, and he was heard saying to Zhang Yifan: "The question you thought of is a good one. I will let someone try it and see what happens in the end!"

"???" Zhang Yifan was a little confused when he heard this. He raised this matter himself, so it was logical for Zhu Yuanzhang to let him try it. Why should he ask others?
While he was thinking about it, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang picking up a particularly thick memorial from the imperial desk, shaking it and saying: "Your thoughts in this memorial have implicated many yamen and national policies. Your proposal to the prince is Find a place to try. Therefore, I decided..."

As soon as Zhang Yifan heard what he said, he knew something was wrong, as if he had dug a hole for himself.

Sure enough, I heard Zhu Yuanzhang continue to say: "...Xiangshan County under the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture is currently short of a county magistrate, and the place is remote enough. You can go to Xiangshan County to temporarily act as the county magistrate and try your suggestions there."

"..." After hearing this, Zhang Yifan felt that he had been tricked, so he quickly replied, "Father, my son is still young and has never been an official. Isn't this inappropriate?"

Although he went to Guangdong in later generations and lived for a long time.But this was the early Ming Dynasty. More than 800 years ago, Guangdong was still a wild land in everyone's mind.

Not to mention anything else, whether this Xiangshan County or Zhuhai in Zhongshan is still just a small fishing village is a question!

If you have a choice, wouldn’t it be nice to stay in Nanjing?Nowadays, in the most prosperous place in the world, even if Zhu Yuanzhang lifts the butcher knife, he can't cut himself!
However, after Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he said seriously: "It is precisely because you have never been an official that I chose a remote place to give you a try. Besides, these proposals that seem reasonable but involve such a big deal , it was also you who mentioned it, it’s a very important matter, if you don’t try it yourself, who can guarantee whether this is good or not?”

In fact, he still had another meaning he didn't say.It’s just that Zhang Yifan always has fantastic ideas, but he has no political experience.If he had had political experience, perhaps his fanciful ideas would be more realistic.

At this time, when Zhang Yifan heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he knew that he had made up his mind and there was nothing he could do.

Facing this Emperor Hongwu, Zhang Yifan still knew what was going on, so he immediately changed his words and said, "In that case, I'll just take the order!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a satisfied smile on his face, but it quickly disappeared and continued to say seriously: "You, the prince-in-law, are temporarily acting as county magistrate, and you are doing something that has never been done before. Therefore, in the future, Xiangshan County It is not under local jurisdiction. If you have anything to do, just send the police immediately to report it. If it involves your experiment and is involved with the surrounding places, I allow you to do it easily..."

Before Zhang Yifan came over, during the discussion in Wuying Palace, Hu Weiyong wanted to take control of Xiangshan County.After all, he is the prime minister, one person is subordinate to ten thousand people, and all officials are under his control.

And Xiangshan County is not owned by the local government, but directly under the imperial court. He also agrees that it is not under his name, so he can take a look at it, and he has a share of the benefits.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang made an arbitrary decision in the end, saying that the prince-in-law's visit to Xiangshan County was a special matter and was not considered a normal state matter, so there was no need for Zhongshu Province to worry about it, and it was directly under Zhu Yuanzhang's personal control.If something happens, please go directly to the imperial court.

Facing the powerful Hongwu Emperor, Hu Weiyong couldn't compete and could only hold his nose and admit it.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's personal explanation, Zhang Yifan finally realized that he was going to temporarily act as the magistrate of Xiangshan County as an imperial envoy to verify his proposals on the basis of Xiangshan County and could not leave Xiangshan.When necessary, it has the power to mobilize surrounding military and civilian forces to do things.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang gave Zhang Yifan the greatest power to draw a remote place, and he could toss it however he wanted to see if he could work it out and prove that his proposal was better than the currently implemented national policy!
This is an absolute special zone!
Perhaps it was only in the early years of Hongwu that all the systems were inherited from the previous dynasty, but they wanted to change them for the better, and nothing had been customized. Especially the founding emperor Hongwu wanted to run the Zhu family well, and could For a long time, and with enough courage and prestige, no one dared to directly challenge him, so he would try this.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally said to Zhang Yifan: "I give you three years, which should be enough. By then, you will know whether you are a mule or a horse."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yifan couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Hu Weiyong.

It is now the ninth year of Hongwu. Three years later, it will be the 12th year of Hongwu. One of the four major Hongwu cases named by this man, I wonder if it will happen again?

The Blank Seal Case has already happened, but because of the butterfly effect, very few people died under their own influence.After Zhu Yuanzhang's thunderous operations, those who finally had to bear the wrath of the thunder were those officials with a bad reputation in the local area who were verified and reported by the Jin Yiwei.

Now that I have to leave Nanjing for three years, it probably won't affect the course of history. I hope Hu Weiyong will be more enlightened!

Zhang Yifan just thought about it like this, and he had no friendship with Hu Weiyong. It can even be said that this Hu Weiyong made things difficult for him and shouted at him, so he didn't want to remind Hu Weiyong of anything, he walked the road by himself. He has to take responsibility for himself!

About to travel far, Zhu Yuanzhang is still really good to his son-in-law.

Not only was he given five days to prepare, but Zhu Jingjing was also allowed to take office with him.

This matter had never happened before, and naturally it spread quickly in Nanjing official circles.

The prince-in-law went to a remote place as a county magistrate as an imperial envoy. Although the specific duties were not announced, it was a source of conversation anyway.

Zhang Yifan's tolerance on this trip was originally unprecedented in history, so the butterfly effect was naturally leveraged.

On Hu Weiyong's side, after the court, he went to the study to write a secret letter, and then summoned a confidant and ordered him: "Immediately send it to Yongjiahou in Guangzhou, without any mistake!" Yongjiahou is Zhu Liangzu, Because of the butterfly effect, I went to Guangzhou more than two years in advance to guard.

This Zhu Liangzu was very close to Hu Weiyong and was one of Hu Weiyong's confidants.In the original history, Zhu Liangzu himself and his eldest son were whipped to death by Zhu Yuanzhang, and his second son was implicated in the Hu Weiyong case.

Zhang Yifan, the consort, went to Xiangshan County, which happened to be over there in Guangzhou. No matter what, Hu Weiyong was definitely going to do something.

Not only him, but also the prince Li Qi from the South Korean government hurried to see his father. After closing the door, he said to his father: "Dad, it's time for you to take action. You can't let this guy continue to live happily!"

Speaking of this, he remembered that he had seen Zhang Yifan and Zhu Jingjing in love in pairs on the street before, and he became even more angry, and said to Li Shanchang again: "You said you would kill him before, but what happened? , He’s so majestic, and that blue jade is of no use at all. This time, while he’s going to the wilderness, I might as well..."

At this point, Li Qi showed a bit of ferocity, and made a palm move, making a show of slashing hard.

For these people who came from troubled times, killing is just a habit like eating and drinking.

Zhang Yifan was in Nanjing City, under the emperor's nose, and often hung out with King Yan. There was nothing he could do.

But now that they were out, Li Qi's first thought was to kill Zhang Yifan in retaliation for taking away his wife!

However, he didn't have the ability, otherwise he would have done it himself. Now, he could only ask his father to do it.

Li Shanchang had already heard about Zhang Yifan's appointment. When he heard his son's words again, he couldn't help but lecture: "Can you be more cautious? Does the prince-in-law just kill him if he says he will?"

"What are you afraid of?" Li Qi said with a ferocious face after hearing this, "At most, it will cause accidental death. Even if the emperor is angry, so what? What does it have to do with our Li family?"

Li Shanchang listened, and shouted with a serious expression: "Shut up!"

"What? Dad, can you bear to see that boy really enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of his life?" After hearing this, Li Qi suddenly gasped with anger, as if she couldn't stand it anymore, "He has beaten our Li family naked more than once Face, I slap you in the face! You are the most important figure in the founding of the country, is it possible for you to surrender to a wild boy from the country like this?"

Li Shanchang's face turned gloomy when he heard this, and he stretched out his hand to hit the person first, but Li Qi saw it and stretched out his neck and said: "Dad, if you have to swallow this breath, you hit, you just beat your son to death. I can't swallow it anyway." Such a tone!"

Seeing him like this, Li Shanchang put down his hand and continued to say with a gloomy face: "Our emperor is very wise and martial. If you underestimate him, you will die without knowing it!"

He followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world, because he knew Zhu Yuanzhang too well.A beggar is just a beggar, to become the emperor, that is how many heroes he fought against and finally won.The bones of those who underestimate him will be cold!

Upon hearing this, Li Qi suddenly realized that her father had not changed his temper, he was just cautious.

So, he was overjoyed again and asked quickly: "Dad, what should we do?"

After hearing this, Li Shanchang didn't answer right away, but after pondering for a moment, he said slowly: "This kid from Liujia Village does have two hands. In the past, we still underestimated him. This time, we don't directly take action, and we can't leave anyone behind." The only reason is to get people to publicize the story of the son-in-law, saying that he is the emperor's most valued son-in-law, and that he is the policeman of the Ming Dynasty..."

Li Qi was fully expecting to hear his father reveal a conspiracy that he had never imagined to kill the boy from Liujiacun. However, he did not expect that his father would praise him with all his words. To say this about this boy, that was not the case. Stab him with a knife?

So, he interrupted Li Shanchang angrily and asked unhappily: "Dad, is he your son? Are you so good to him?"

When Li Shanchang heard this, he was so angry that he couldn't breathe.This son really hasn't learned even one-tenth of his skills, and the city government is even worse than 01:30.

After regaining his breath, he said angrily: "If he is really my son, then it is the smoke of my ancestors!"

"..." Li Qi was stunned when he heard this.

He never expected that his father would say such a thing. Doesn't this mean that he is not as good as that boy from Liujiacun!

Li Shanchang looked at the eldest son, sighed in his heart, and accidentally said the truth.

But there is no way, the one in front of him is his biological son, the one in Liujiacun, no!
So, he softened his tone and said to Li Qi: "There are wars all over the borders of the Ming Dynasty. Even along the coast, there is actually no peace. On the sea in the south, there are still many remnants who rebel against the Ming Dynasty. If they hear that This prince-in-law is so important, he will definitely risk his life to assassinate him. In this case, what does this matter have to do with us? Even he will definitely not think of us! "

Needless to say, this man is Emperor Hongwu.

Li Qi naturally understood, but he didn't particularly believe in this strategy. No, he said with doubts on his face: "Last time, you said you could praise him and kill him, but what happened? This time, you still want to praise him." He, just in case..."

"There is no such thing as a chance!" Li Shanchang interrupted his son's words after hearing this, "I have checked. The area under the jurisdiction of Xiangshan County is near the sea. Those pirates also want to be famous. If they can kill such an important prince-in-law, they will immediately become famous. , it will be of great help to them in recruiting troops and expanding their power. Those thieves, as long as they have some brains, will not miss this golden opportunity!"

At this time, Xiangshan County included Zhongshan and Zhuhai in later generations. Starting from the mouth of the Pearl River and ending at Jiangmen, it was a coastal area.

As a grand master, Li Shanchang naturally has his own channels for information.On this point, he was right.

In the original history, the anti-Ming forces at sea had always existed, and they were still making trouble very fiercely. They still existed until the Yongle period.

According to records, in June of the first year of Yongle, after Quanzhou Guards captured a group of pirates and sent them to the capital, Emperor Yongle refused to kill them, and promised that if their accomplices came ashore and behaved well, they would be pardoned for their crimes and would not be held accountable.But even so, it had little effect.

It can be seen that the pirates at that time gave Emperor Yongle a headache, so he had to take this measure.

When Li Qi heard his father's explanation, he became happy and said with a smile: "So that's it, that's good. It's best to tie him to the sea and cut him off piece by piece to feed the sea fish!"

When Li Shanchang heard this, he frowned. After thinking about it for a moment, he said seriously to Li Qi: "In the future, you must not reveal such thoughts. Especially people outside, and you must not let people know that you have feelings for that person." The boy holds a grudge and wishes for his death! Do you understand?"

Seeing his attitude, Li Qi was stunned for a moment.He was not stupid. After a little thought, he could understand why his father said this, and he immediately replied: "Don't worry, dad, I'm not stupid. Except for the occasional revelations when chatting with a few close friends, how could I go everywhere?" Yell!"

The hatred of seizing his wife does not express hatred, is he still a man?
"Wrong!" When Li Shanchang heard this, he said with a bit of hatred, "You can't say anything to your closest friends. Not only that, but to your uncle and his family, no one can say it, and you can't even mention it at home!"

"..." Hearing this, Li Qi was a little dumbfounded. After a while, he said disapprovingly, "Dad, are you worrying too much? You didn't even mention it to your uncle or the others at home, so you just suppressed it. In your heart?"

"Yes, hold it in your heart for the rest of your life!" Li Shanchang warned seriously, "His Majesty established the Imperial Guard based on school inspection and reused it. It seems to me that this Imperial Guard is not a good person. No matter what, you can live longer by being careful! "
