Daming: My boss Zhu Yuanzhang

Chapter 32 Stupid Couple’s
Li Wei didn't care what Zhu Biao thought. In fact, when he just graduated, he also thought about changing himself and making himself smoother and smoother so that he could integrate into society.

But after trying for a period of time, he felt very uncomfortable and pretended to be insincere. That was not what he wanted, so he changed back to himself.

Although his emotional intelligence is low, he can see many things clearly, but his reaction is slower than others. When dealing with others, his approach is to either be honest with others or keep them at a distance.

It was also because of his temper that many of his classmates became senior engineers in offices, while he was still hanging out in the workshop.

Li Wei found paper and pen and copied down the flintlock gun he designed, including the exploded view of each component, which was extremely detailed.

To make a real object, design is only the first step. There are still many things waiting for him. Li Wei left Zhu Biao and went to the Military War Bureau to find the craftsmen.

When Fang Jianbao saw the drawings given by Li Wei, he couldn't help but admire him. Such complex and precise things could be drawn clearly on the drawings.

"Can it be done?" Li Wei asked.

"It should be no problem." Fang Jianbao said.

The steelmaking technology of this era included steel forging and steel filling. Although it cannot be compared with that of later generations, the requirements for the barrel of a flintlock gun are not high and can be fully satisfied. As for seamless steel pipes, they are not used for the time being.

"That's good. Just arrange for people to build it first. If there are any problems, we can solve them together."

"Okay okay."

Fang Jianbao, who was still unsure at first, immediately felt relieved when he heard this. Mr. Li in front of him was different from other officials. When other officials arranged for the people below to work, they would only ask for this and that. As for how to solve their fundamental problems, Do not care.

But Li Wei really worked with them to find solutions to problems, and Li Wei could always find solutions for them, which impressed these highly skilled craftsmen.

With Li Wei here, they have confidence.

……

In the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhang Zongyi, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, looked at the confession in his hand with a solemn expression. This was the confession of Xu Duo, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Husbandry, who had just been imprisoned by His Majesty some time ago.

In this regard, Xu Duo was not only guilty of corruption, but was also involved in the Hu Weiyong case. The worst thing was that the old guy saw that he had no hope, so he bit people randomly, and not only Lu Zhong, but also other distinguished people died among them. , and there is another person, Song Shen!
Song Shen is Song Lian’s grandson, and Song Lian is the prince’s teacher!

This matter was of great importance, which made him a little hesitant. If he reported it directly to His Majesty, a large number of people would be killed. Most of them were former disciples of the civil servants. If they were investigated, no one could say whether they would be punished or not. It will sink in.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Zongyi went to Zhu Biao with his confession.

He knew that Zhu Biao was kind and that his teacher Song Lian was involved, so he would not stand idly by.

In the Qianqing Palace, Li Wei was using a computer to design the steel-making blast furnace and some supporting equipment for later generations. However, this aspect was not his expertise and he didn't know much about it, so he just planned to make a sketch, and the rest was left to the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty. They did their own research, but he felt that these craftsmen should be fine. After all, this simple indigenous blast furnace is an improvement on their existing methods, and it is not difficult to understand.

After the excitement of the past few days, Zhu Biao no longer competed with him for the computer. After all, Zhu Biao was not a person who was greedy for pleasure and had poor self-control. He still had his own government affairs to be busy with.

Soon after, Zhu Yuanzhang went to court. After Li Wei saw the courtesy, he began to report on the situation in the past few days.

"I have asked the craftsmen to start making the flintlock gun. I estimate that a sample will be produced in three to five days, and then the performance will be tested and the defects will be improved..."

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Li Wei's words and was looking forward to the birth of this new weapon.

The Northern Expedition is about to begin. If there are new weapons to help, I believe the Northern Expedition will go more smoothly. The immortality of the Northern Yuan has always been a serious concern for the Ming Dynasty.

"Well, just do it with all your heart, and tell us what you need. If you do it to our satisfaction, we will definitely give you a big reward."

Zhu Yuanzhang painted cakes every day.

Li Wei still believes in his promises. He has now moved into the house he mentioned before. Not only is it much bigger than the previous courtyard, but it is also much better. The most important thing is that he saves a lot of money on rent. , life is much easier now.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Minister of Punishment would like to see you!"

At this time, the little eunuchs were reporting outside the door. Due to the presence of computers, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered these little eunuchs not to enter easily, and they all reported outside the door first.

"Biao'er and Zhang Zongyi came together?"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the report. He understood in a moment that this was Zhang Zongyi who had something to report, so he pulled the prince over, obviously to let the prince speak for him. "Hmph, let them in."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little dissatisfied, but he did not get angry, because it was his order to appoint the crown prince in government affairs, and the purpose was to enable the prince to familiarize himself with government affairs as soon as possible so that he could succeed him.What Zhang Zongyi did was not considered out of bounds.

Seeing that outsiders were about to come in, Li Wei quickly put away the computer, which Zhu Yuanzhang had ordered before.

Zhang Zongyi and Prince Zhu Biao came in together and greeted him one after another. Because there were outsiders present, Li Wei also treated Zhu Biao with dignity.

"Your Majesty, I was ordered to interrogate Xu Duo, and now I have learned something. This is his confession. Please take a look at it."

Zhang Zongyi presented the confession with some anxiety.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened it and looked at it again, his face getting more and more ugly.

He had known for a long time that Lu Zhongxiang and others had contacts with Hu Weiyong, and he had planned to forgive these generals before. These were people who had been with him through life and death. He knew very well that these reckless men were rude in their actions and arrogant in their words, especially after drinking. , and even dare to say anything to compare with this piece of shit like Li Wei.

But to say that these people really want to rebel, it is not true. Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige in the army is at its peak, and these people are not brave enough. Before Hu Weiyong was killed, he sent a message to these people, asking them to raise troops, but these people did not One with action, and this is proof.

Xu Duo bit out so many people because he wanted to seek a chance for himself, especially Song Shen. Because of Song Lian's relationship, the prince would definitely ask him for mercy. Then Xu Duo would There is also a slight possibility that they will be given a lighter sentence together.

"Hmph, this bastard took bribes, perverted the law, and colluded with Hu Weiyong. He really deserves death! And this Song Shen, Song Lian really raised a good grandson!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a cold expression.

"Father, Xu Duo should be punished for his corruption and bending the law, but the people he betrayed should still be dealt with leniently in the future." Zhu Biao said quickly.

"What, are you going to save that teacher's grandson for you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly.

"That's not what I meant, but the Hu Weiyong case has already involved too many people. If this continues, the official affairs of the court may be affected. Please give me a warning!"

"These corrupt officials are unfaithful and unfilial. If our Ming Dynasty continues to use these people to govern, it will only get worse! Biao'er, the kindness we teach you is reserved for loyal ministers and good generals and the people of Ming Dynasty, not for these dogs. !”

"Father..."

Zhu Biao wanted to speak again, but Zhu Yuanzhang had already waved his hand to interrupt, and said coldly to Zhang Zongyi: "Xu Duo was corrupt and perverted the law, ransacked his house and beheaded him. Lu Zhong's enjoyment of the money and wealth is equivalent to national merit. Let's forgive him for the time being and let him be punished and perform meritorious service!"

After saying this, a stern look flashed in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, and he added: "Others will be severely punished according to the law! Song Shen colludes with the party and will be punished!"

"what?"

Zhang Zongyi and Zhu Biao were both shocked. Other severe punishments were enough. Why did Song Shen want to punish Lian?Doesn't that mean that Song Lian is also killed?
This greatly exceeded their expectations.

"Why is Father like this?" Zhu Biao asked loudly.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and did not answer him. Instead, he looked at Zhang Zongyi, the Minister of Punishment, who hurriedly bowed to accept the order.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Go down."

"I retire!"

Zhang Zongyi bowed and retreated. He knew that the Crown Prince and His Majesty would definitely have a quarrel next. At this time, it would be wise to stay away quickly.

Only Li Wei stood there like a fool, waiting to eat and watch the show...

　Please give me a recommendation vote. If you have any, please vote for it. Thank you!
