I am the carpenter king

After glancing at Sun Yuanhua, Emperor Tianqi gave him an appreciative look, this man is really a talent.Regarding the time and expense of Sun Yuanhua's theory, Emperor Tianqi can only accept it.Although I feel that the time is a little long, but it can only be like this now.If the scale is increased, the annual cost will be more than 500 million taels.

It costs 500 million taels to build a ship, and the imperial court will spend more and more on other firearms.It seems that Emperor Tianqi's main job in the next few years is to make money. As for the reform of the system, we still have to wait!I don't know when the emperor himself will be able to speak out.

Glancing around the faces of everyone, Emperor Tianqi's eyes fell on Xu Guangqi, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Aiqing, Yuan Yingtai has gone to inspect the river engineering, and you are also doing the work of the Ministry of Engineering. That's it! Take advantage of this time If there is an opportunity, draw some things that the general of the Ministry of Industry will do. For example, go to the firearms factory that is all allocated for the manufacture of firearms and ordnance, and all the craftsmen will also be brought there.”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Guangqi said respectfully after bowing to Emperor Tianqi, but there was no joy on his face, instead his brows were tightly frowned.

Smiling and nodding, Emperor Tianqi said to Xu Guangqi: "You don't have to do this, Aiqing, you just do your own thing, and those people dare not stop you. But remember, Aiqing, what you have to do is to accept the supervision of the general. The firearms factory, as for other people and things, Ai Qing don't ask."

After hearing Emperor Tianqi's words, Xu Guangqi was taken aback for a moment, apparently he did not expect Emperor Tianqi to say that.He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, pondered for a while, and wanted to say something else.

Seeing that Xu Guangqi was about to speak again, Emperor Tianqi waved his hand lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Xu Aiqing, I know who and what kind of officials are the officials of the Ming Dynasty. I also know what kind of people should be officials. Some Things still have to wait, it’s impossible if the time is not up.”

Xu Guangqi was taken aback for a moment, and after a shudder, he didn't say anything, and the expression on his face became much better.Giving a salute to Emperor Tianqi, Xu Guangqi said respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise, I am too worried!"

"Aiqing is loyal to the country. It is a crime to worry about state affairs! I will only be very happy if Aiqing does this." Emperor Tianqi looked at Xu Guangqi and said with a smile.

Regarding the general supervisor of the Ministry of Industry, Emperor Tianqi knew very well that the water inside was not shallow.In charge of the casting of firearms across the country, most of the weapons and armors contain a lot of oil and water!There are also many officials involved in it. If you check it out, you don't know how many people will die here.

Xu Guangqi naturally didn't want to let these people go.These are the moths of the country and must be severely punished.Now that Emperor Tianqi said that the time had not yet come, it seemed that the emperor had plans in mind, so Xu Guangqi naturally wouldn't say anything.

Several people reported the detailed details to Emperor Tianqi, and Emperor Tianqi also asked a few questions that he wanted to know. They seemed to feel that it was almost done, so they said goodbye and left.

"Your Majesty, there is a report from Longchang Company!" Several people left.Wang Chengen walked quickly to Emperor Tianqi's side, and said respectfully.

Gently nodded.Emperor Tianqi looked at Wang Chengen and said, "You and Chen Hong are the only ones who know about the Longchang Company in the palace. Who is in charge of the Longchang Company now?"

"Back to the emperor, the person in charge of the palace is Chen Huan, the nephew of Chen Hong and Eunuch Chen." Wang Chengen looked at Emperor Tianqi cautiously, and said softly.

Emperor Tianqi's expression remained unchanged. Chen Hong had discussed this matter with Emperor Tianqi.Although there is Fang's family at Longchang Company, there are many people who have fallen from Dongchang and Jinyiwei in private.These people also need someone to lead them, and the person in charge now is Chen Hong's nephew, Chen Huan.

Taking the things Wang Chengen handed over, Emperor Tianqi opened it lightly and looked at it. It only said about the Longchang Company in Zhangjiakou.Now the entire trade in Zhangjiakou has been monopolized by Longchang Company.There are also many businessmen from Shanxi and Shanxi coming to the door, and the business has gradually got on track.

Recalling the distribution addresses of Longchang Company, which is now near the capital and Zhangjiakou, this has already made Longchang Company very eye-catching.It seems that from now on, it is necessary to keep a low profile, slowly increase the manpower, and slowly infiltrate.

Closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Emperor Tianqi slowly fell into deep thought.Seeing this scene, Wang Chengen on the side bowed and retreated. This was not the first time, and he was naturally experienced.

Fengyang Mansion, Lingbi County, County Government.

There were only two people sitting in the hall, one was Zuo Liangyu, the imperial envoy of Hedao, and the other was Yuan Yingtai, the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court for disaster relief.As for the prefect of Fengyang, he has gone back and the disaster situation has stabilized. There are still many things in the mansion that he can't stay here all the time.

For disaster relief, there is Lingbi county magistrate, and there are two imperial envoys, and he has nothing to do here.

"Lord Zuo, what's the situation with you?" Yuan Yingtai asked in a deep voice after glancing at Zuo Guangdou.He knew about Zuo Guangdou. When he was transferred to the capital, Zuo Guangdou went to Liaodong.It's just that Yuan Yingtai didn't expect that this person would come back so soon.However, everyone knew that Emperor Tianqi valued Zuo Guangdou, and Yuan Yingtai also knew it in his heart.

Glancing at Yuan Yingtai, Zuo Guangdou said in a deep voice: "Master Yuan, I have already inspected this side, and there is no problem with the original river. Because the original river is silted up, it will be good if it is cleaned up properly. Good farmland. I took a look at it and found that there are about [-] mu, which should be enough to make up for the flooded people's land."

After hearing Zuo Guangdou's words, Yuan Yingtai nodded slowly, obviously very satisfied.In fact, Yuan Yingtai disapproved of Zuo Guangdou at the beginning, he is a very capable person, but in his opinion Zuo Guangdou is mediocre.

However, after getting along with each other for the past few days, Yuan Yingtai's impression of Zuo Guangdou has changed a lot, and he feels like seeing each other late.Yuan Yingtai felt that Zuo Guangdou got along very well with him, whether it was governing the river or the views of the people on being an official.

After pondering for a while, Yuan Yingtai said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then we will write a letter to the emperor! As for the disaster relief arrangements here, what we need to pay close attention to is the new river channel and the river lifts on both sides."

Zuo Guangdou also nodded in agreement. After several years of investigation, both of them found that the disaster was not as serious as it seemed.However, the county was flooded, and it may be very troublesome to rebuild in the future, but compared to river governance, all these are left to the local officials to have a headache!

The two studied the details, and after careful consideration, Yuan Yingtai wrote the pen and Zuo Guangdou signed it, and the memorial was completed.

The General Secretary is located outside the east gate of the Forbidden City. This is an inconspicuous yamen, but no one dares to underestimate this place.The Department of General Administration is a yamen that civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty must know. It is in charge of internal and external chapters and subjects' sealed appeals, commonly known as Yintai.

A fast horse came to the door of the Secretary of General Administration. After pulling the horse, the man quickly got off the horse.After handing over the horse to the gatekeeper, he strode inside.When the gatekeeper saw that this man was wearing a Liaodong military uniform, he did not stop him.

The General Secretary is different from other yamen. Other yamen may need respect or something, otherwise the door will embarrass you, but the General Secretary is different.No way is what kind of door, no one dares to do it.The people who came to the General Administration Department all handed over their paperwork, who knew which one was more important.If a major event is delayed because of Menzi, Menzi cannot afford to suffer.

The person who just arrived was from Liaodong at first glance. Who knows what kind of news such a person is carrying? If it is Liaodong military situation, whoever stops him will die!

"My lord, this is the memorial of Lord Xiong Tingbi, Governor of Liaodong. It is very important. Please transfer it to the cabinet as soon as possible!" The soldier came to a governor, bowed respectfully, and handed a memorial to the governor.

Taking the memorial carefully, the governor said with a serious face: "Don't worry, I'll send it later!" No one dared to delay the letter of the governor of Liaodong, even if it was the Tongzheng envoy of the General Secretary, let alone a small eight-rank Governor.

The Secretary of General Administration is not far from the cabinet. As long as you enter the east gate of the Forbidden City, you can see the cabinet duty room.The governor walked quickly into the cabinet with the memorial, but he didn't dare to look left and right, because all the big Han generals standing guard were staring at him.

Walking quickly to Liu Yijing's side, Han Kuang looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he whispered in Liu Yijing's ear, "Grand Liu, here is a memorial for you to take a look at!"

Seeing Han Kuang's serious expression, Liu Yijing was taken aback. Normally, everyone prepared their own memorials, and only when they were in doubt would they hand over the memorials to themselves.However, Han Kuang was not as cautious as Han Kuang. After receiving the memorial, Liu Yijing slowly opened it to watch.

Soon Liu Yijing's hands began to tremble, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and it took Liu Yijing a long time to put down the memorial.Glancing at Han Kuang, Liu Yijing smiled wryly and said, "This Xiong Tingbi is really dishonest. This is another big deal."

Han Kuang snorted coldly, and said with disdain: "Reading the books of sages, and acting like a reckless man, he has completely disgraced the saints."

Liu Yijing was taken aback for a moment, but just smiled noncommittally, he knew what Han Kuang was thinking in his heart.The matter of Donglin Party started because of Xiong Tingbi, so he naturally didn't like Xiong Tingbi.But Liu Yijing's heart sank, this time I'm afraid he and others will be implicated!

The emperor didn't blame himself and others for the Donglin Party matter, but Liu Yijing was very uneasy in his heart.After thinking about it with his head down, Liu Yijing said in a deep voice, "Go to the palace to meet the emperor! We can't decide this matter!"

"The emperor will not agree to this matter, Xiong Tingbi is seeking his own death!" Han Kuang smiled coldly, with a look of disdain, but he didn't see the worry on Liu Yijing's face. (To be continued..)
