The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 334 Steam Ming Dynasty!

After hearing Shi Miaorou's words, everyone in the hall looked stunned and showed indignation.

"Sir, is this true?!"

"I didn't expect there to be such a hateful person among us!"

"Who is it?"

"..."

……

Shi Miaorou looked at the main hall. Everyone had different expressions, but they all looked angry, as if they were not like her.

However, Shi Miaorou did not show any change in expression in response to them. After everyone in the hall became quiet, Shi Miaorou slowly spoke:

"Shang Shu, what do you think about this matter?"

But what Shi Miaorou didn't expect was that it didn't take long for a corrupt official to appear so quickly, and it was an important official like the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!

After all, Tongkang Society was established under the oppression and exploitation of the Yuan people. People who came from the grassroots level of Tongkang Society have experienced hardships. Logically speaking, they should hate the oppression of former dignitaries.

Following Shi Miaorou's inquiry, everyone present involuntarily cast their eyes on a middle-aged man in front of the officials in the hall.

She looked at an official on the side and asked, "How much silver does it cost to buy one stone of rice in the city today?"

Shi Miaorou asked again. However, he did not wait for the other party to answer, but asked and answered the question himself:
"When I restored the central system of the previous dynasty, I also thought of this. After all, in the past, you were all important ministers of the imperial court and ministers of humerus. Naturally, you cannot be treated like grassroots Tongkanghui managers. Therefore, I I gave you a very high salary!”

Immediately, an official walked up to the side of the main hall and handed a document to Shi Miaorou.

As Shi Miaorou presented the specific crimes, Shangshu Hubu finally couldn't hold on any longer, and then took the initiative to reveal his crimes one by one.

Shi Miaorou's eyes moved. She had slowly walked down from Danbi, came to the main hall, and stood with everyone in the main hall.

But seeing that the Minister of Hubu was still like this, everyone in the hall couldn't help but have hesitation on their faces. At the same time, they also wondered whether Shi Miaorou had guessed wrong, suspected the wrong person, and wronged the Minister of Hubu.

At the same time, everyone had a look of disbelief on their faces. After all, in their eyes, Shangshu Hube was a very decent person in the court, and was respected by everyone for his upright and honest image.

What Shi Miaorou didn't expect was that some people in the court would decay so quickly.

But there were also many people who still held their heads high and looked at Shi Miaorou in front of them, seemingly with an open heart.

"And how much rice can you buy with fifty taels of silver?"

So Shi Miaorou had to get straight to the point and said:

People can't help but be attracted to her.

Shi Miaorou looked at everyone and said:

"Shang Shu, if you hold this position, you should get a lot of salary, right?"

"One hundred cents!"

The official who was questioned by Shi Miaorou quickly came out of the queue and replied: "Sir, to buy one stone of rice, you need one hundred pence!"

But at this moment, Shi Miaorou actually named the other party publicly. It seems that the recent case of leaking water from the granary is inextricably linked to the Minister of Household Affairs.

However, Shi Miaorou shook her head slightly, "I originally wanted to give you a decent..."

However, seeing Shangshu Hube still pretending to be innocent, Shi Miaorou had to sigh at how good his acting skills were.

"If someone takes the initiative to admit his guilt, he will be given a lighter sentence. Of course, if he still persists, he will be dealt with more severely!"

"Sir, what do you mean by this?"

This has nothing to do with Shi Miaorou's beautiful appearance.

However, the Minister of Hube still had a puzzled look on his face, as if he didn't understand why Shi Miaorou said this. After all, the words have almost been made clear at this moment, and there is no point in hiding it anymore.

"..."

Shi Miaorou suddenly looked at the Minister of Hubu, but the Minister of Hubu remained expressionless and stood quietly, as if he was sure that Shi Miaorou had no evidence of his own crime.

Shi Miaorou looked at everyone. Some people involuntarily lowered their heads under Shi Miaorou's sharp gaze, not daring to look at Shi Miaorou.

"So, I have been very tolerant of you, and I have also given you a lot of benefits..."

Shi Miaorou repeated, and then said: "Now our monthly salary, the lowest one seems to be fifty taels of silver, right?"

……

"This describes in detail how the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue stole the grain from Tongkanghui's granary, and everyone involved!"

At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Shi Miaorou had already thought that officials above the court might be corrupt in the future. After all, this was unavoidable, so she also thought of the policy of high salaries to support integrity.

"Among them, there are not only our Minister of Household Affairs, but also other people!"

She has a tall and straight figure. Although she is only a woman, her height is already higher than that of an ordinary man, and she seems to have a special aura about her that makes people look away at her.

So, this is what shocked them. And Shi Miaorou was able to directly name the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance on the spot, and obviously had some evidence.

Just as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue confessed his guilt, he also confessed many accomplices, many of whom had been investigated by Shi Miaorou, and some who had not been investigated by Shi Miaorou.

Shi Miaorou sighed, then slowly climbed onto Danbi, then turned to look at everyone below.

"You still don't admit it?"

Some people in the main hall looked at the Minister of Hubu in disbelief. They couldn't believe that the Minister of Hubu had actually done something illegal.

……

"I heard that the Minister of Household Affairs in the court was arrested!"

"How is that possible?! He is the Minister of Household Affairs. In the previous dynasty, all those officials were first- and second-rank officials!"

"Ha! There is no such thing as a second-rank official in the Ming Dynasty today, let alone any privileges!"

In the capital of Peiping, what happened in the palace has been spread to the city. After all, Shi Miaorou did not deliberately hide it.

"What happened to the Minister of the Ministry of Finance?" "It seems to be related to the leakage of water in the granary..."

"It must have nothing to do with the leakage of water. When the granary is not on fire, it leaks when it needs to be opened for disaster relief. If you say there is nothing fishy in it, I don't believe it!"

"Moreover, there are hundreds of people implicated because of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance!"

"Hundreds of people? Too few! You have to know that there are still many people who need to be tried in public..."

"..."

What happened in the court became a topic of conversation among the people in the city. More people clapped their hands and praised Shi Miaorou. They all thought that Shi Miaorou handled the matter well and should not tolerate any corrupt officials.

The handling of corrupt officials this time has become the largest corruption case since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, involving a large number of people and affecting a wide range of areas.

When Shi Miaorou dealt with corrupt officials, he also dealt with the corresponding supervisors. After all, the supervisors were responsible for supervising the political managers of Tongkang Association. However, in this major corruption case, the supervisors played almost no role. It is said that the supervisors No problem, that's impossible.

……

Time passes, time changes
AD 1430, the 44th year of the gods.

Shi Miaorou has also passed the age of hearing, but her appearance has not changed at all. She still looks like a young woman.

However, great changes have taken place in the Ming Dynasty.

Among them, people familiar to Shi Miaorou: Zhu Yuanzhang, Ma family and others have also passed away, but their descendants have also emerged.

For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son Zhu Biao served as the Ming Dynasty's leader, and his fourth son Zhu Di served as the army general of the Ming Dynasty's Tongkang Army!

In the past two decades of development, the Ming Dynasty has also shown the image of a prosperous age, with people living and working in peace and contentment, merchants prospering, and the national treasury being full.

The Ming Dynasty gradually restored the powerful image of the Celestial Kingdom.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty tried its best to develop various studies of studying things. Under the guidance of Mr. Shi Miaorou of the Ming Dynasty, he developed various studies of studying things based on the contents of the "Yi'an Dadian" compiled by Li Qingzhao, a layman of Yi'an in the previous dynasty.

……

"The Ming Dynasty Firearms Manufacturing Office manufactured the steam engine conceived in "Yi'an Dadian"!"

In a pavilion in the palace, Shi Miaorou looked at the document in his hand and suddenly said happily to Bai Zhi beside him.

"Steam engine..."

Hearing this, Bai Zhi was also stunned. At the same time, I was also a little happy.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had already researched the steam engine, and everything in the future was destined to change. This was what made Bai Zhi really happy.

"According to the records in "Yi'an Dadian", the concept of the steam engine actually existed in the Han Dynasty. At first, the sages saw the clay pots boiling water. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, the predecessors made the first attempt to boil the clay pots. The research failed!"

Shi Miaorou couldn't help but sigh. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, she was familiar with history books and had a clear understanding of the development of steam engines. "In the Song Dynasty, although no one studied it, the layman Yi An recorded this concept in the "Yi An Dadian" Among them, it can provide certain ideas for future generations..."

"..."

Shi Miaorou lowered her head and looked at the document in her hand, only to see that the function of the steam engine was also described in detail on the document.

"Steam engines combined with other tools can replace manpower and increase efficiency..."

"With this steam engine, Ming Dynasty will usher in a development explosion..."

Shi Miaorou raised her head, looked at Bai Zhi aside, and said excitedly: "The country you once described, Divine Bird, will become the future of the Ming Dynasty!"

Bai Zhi also nodded slightly. The Ming Dynasty of the steam engine did not appear suddenly. Naturally, Bai Zhi provided some contacts to Shi Miaorou, and then Shi Miaorou specially arranged for the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty to develop it. Recently, the steam engine was officially successfully developed.

At that time, in order to encourage Shi Miaorou to study steam engines, Bai Zhi also described to Shi Miaorou the scene of steam engines, such as carriages that did not require manpower or animal power, ships that did not require sailboats in the sea, and people that did not require people to transport huge rocks...

Naturally, Shi Miaorou could not resist the temptation of such a future.

……

The emergence of the steam engine was silent, but it was so extraordinary. And this day is destined to be recorded in history books and praised by future generations.

But in the subsequent development, Daming quickly built steam engines and used them in various aspects. At the same time, it did not forget to continue to develop new steam engines.

The people in Beiping City, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, were the first to see steam engines. One day, they were shocked to discover that a ferocious iron lump suddenly appeared on the wall of the city. This iron lump is still holding the black stone and spitting out hot smoke, but it can drive the hinge to lift the huge stone bar to help the craftsmen repair the city wall!
In addition, steam engines are also used to repair the capital city. Because of the steam engines, the time to repair a street has been increased from one month or half a year to seven or ten days!

And this is just one aspect. Steam engines slowly entered every aspect of Ming people's lives, and then changed their lives.

At first, the people of Ming Dynasty were shocked by the appearance of steam engines, but as time went by, they gradually became familiar with it and began to think that the existence of steam engines was reasonable.

"The development of Ming Dynasty is so difficult..."

In the palace, standing on the tall pavilions of the palace, Shi Miaorou could see that there were many beautiful chimneys erected in Beiping City. At the same time, thick smoke was rising from the chimneys and rising into the blue sky.

On the side, Bai Zhi was also watching this scene. The azure feathers were shining with divine light under the setting sun, contrasting with the setting sun in the distant sky.

He naturally knew what Shi Miaorou was talking about. The difficulty of Ming Dynasty's development was in politics.

If Shi Miaorou hadn't been in charge, Ming Dynasty would have been corrupted by corrupt officials, or someone would have restored the imperial power and had an emperor again.

Perhaps, this is why Shi Miaorou asked Bai Zhi to grant her immortality.

Shi Miaorou's eyes moved and looked at the buildings in the city. Due to the emergence of steam engines, many buildings in the city have also changed and become taller.

Naturally, Shi Miaorou saw this and couldn't help but sigh: "The emergence of cement has facilitated the construction of houses in the city. In addition, without the suppression of imperial power, houses have been built higher and higher."

Bai Zhi looked up and saw that the building was towering. The roughness of the concrete had the unique delicacy of Chinese civilization, but there was a beauty of combining roughness and gentleness.

Among the cornices and cornices, there are many changes brought about by the times.

……

The emergence of steam engines greatly improved efficiency, and some merchants were the first to have the right to use steam engines. They relied on steam engines to develop and grow again, gradually gained capital, and even developed in another direction.

Naturally, Shi Miaorou noticed this phenomenon. She immediately made adjustments, restricting the development of merchants, levying merchant water, and all aspects of minerals, steel, coal, etc. were controlled by the Ming Dynasty and could not be controlled by individual merchants.

The treasury of the Ming Dynasty, which controlled these industries, became even richer, so the Ming Dynasty began to build public facilities throughout the world on a large scale.

For example, build cement roads all over the world, and then lead to Beiping City, the capital of the Ming Dynasty. All roads lead to Beiping!
At the same time, everything that Ming Dynasty did, including improving the living conditions of people in remote areas, paving roads and building bridges, made the people more aware of Ming Dynasty.
