I am the carpenter king

Looking at Xu Guangqi, who was a bit helpless, Emperor Tianqi nodded slowly, pondered for a moment, and said: "Xu Aiqing, two shipyards are being built in Jinzhou on the Liaodong Peninsula and Dengzhou on the Shandong Peninsula. I allow Aiqing to To deploy manpower from various parts of the imperial court, we must build the shipyards in these two places as soon as possible. As for how to do it and what kind of warships to build, Aiqing can decide by herself."

Contrary to Emperor Tianqi's expectations, Xu Guangqi frowned in order to show a happy look on his face: "Your Majesty, do you think I'm thinking about it?"

Slightly taken aback, Emperor Tianqi did not expect Xu Guangqi to say that, but Emperor Tianqi also knew that Xu Guangqi must have something to hide, so he said: "If you have any difficulties with Aiqing, just tell me, I will not make things difficult for Aiqing."

Xu Guangqi sighed softly, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, whether it is building warships or building firearms, they all cost a lot. Now that the national treasury has just improved, do you think we should wait two years for the construction?"

Although Xu Guangqi's words were very euphemistic, Emperor Tianqi understood Xu Guangqi's meaning.The Ming Dynasty had no money, or Emperor Tianqi had no money. Xu Guangqi was really worried that the court would not be able to afford such a large-scale construction.

Waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Xu Aiqing, don't worry about money and love, I will never send you a penny. This matter is very important, and Aiqing must implement it well."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will do my best!" After Emperor Tianqi left and said this, Xu Guangqi naturally didn't dare to hesitate any more, and saluted respectfully.

Emperor Tianqi swept across everyone's faces with a smile, and said in a deep voice: "My loves. It is about the future and future of the Ming Dynasty. I hope you will work together. Don't let me down."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best!" Several people hurriedly bowed and saluted, and turned and walked out of the palace under the sign of Emperor Tianqi. [

Looking at the figures of the crowd walking out, Emperor Tianqi stretched his waist, with a look of expectation on his face.It has been three years since Apocalypse, I hope there will be no problems with this arrangement!

In the following time, the state machine of the Ming Dynasty began to operate rapidly.The most intuitive thing is the huge project on the outskirts of the city.Whether it is the common people or the officials, they are all talking about this matter. Emperor Tianqi established the National Martial Arts Supervisor.

You must know that there was a Guozijian in the Ming Dynasty, which was the school for civil servants in this era. Although many children of martial arts families also studied there, they were going to pursue official careers.Now that the National Martial Arts Supervisor has been established, everyone can see Emperor Tianqi's emphasis on martial arts.This gave many warriors hope.At the same time, many people are eager to try.This violent storm, as the news spread, soon spread to the whole country.

The establishment of the Military Aircraft Department gave hope to many people who hold military power. Although there are only a few Dukes, Emperor Tianqi has already passed down the message.In the future, all generals will be eligible to join the Military Aircraft Department.In addition, all military generals from all over the country were placed under the direct jurisdiction of the Military Aircraft Department. Although the time was short, the military officers also saw hope.

The status of generals began to rise. Although the civil servants were unwilling to see it, the generals were indeed very happy.Although this is just the beginning.But many people believe that as time goes by.The situation of a strong Wen and a weak military will definitely change.

Although the civil servants had a lot of complaints, they didn't play much role. Although a few people wrote letters to impeach, they were all sent to prison by Emperor Tianqi.Of course, the crime of impeachment was not used, but other crimes. Jinyiwei and Dongchang also played a big role.

There are also many literati in the imperial court, and among them there are really no handles. Although there are very few such people, there are still a few of them.This made Emperor Tianqi overjoyed. After inspecting their abilities, they were all transferred out by Emperor Tianqi.

Under the strong mobilization of Emperor Tianqi, this wave of reforms in the court has been carried out gradually. Although it has not yet seen results, it has already begun.

Time soon came to May, and Duke Qian of Yunnan finally came to Beijing, but it was not the current Duke of Qian, Mu Changzuo, but his grandson Mu Tianbo who came.Emperor Tianqi passed Mu Tianbo to the palace, and Emperor Tianqi was still very curious about this loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty.

When the Qing army went south and the Nanming court was about to perish, Mu Tianbo did not surrender like the others, but fled to Burma protecting Emperor Yongli.Later, the king of Burma sent people to arrest civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, a total of 42 people.Among the 42 people, only Mu Tianbo died in a fierce battle after hammering more than a dozen people to death.

At this time, Mu Tianbo was just a young man in his twenties, looking full of vigor and vitality. After seeing Emperor Tianqi, he lifted up his clothes and knelt down on the ground, saying: "My minister, Mu Tianbo, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor! Long live!"

Emperor Tianqi walked up to the dragon chair and sat down, waved his hands, and said, "Free from courtesy!" After Mu Tianbo stood up, Emperor Tianqi continued: "This time, I summoned the Duke of Qian to Beijing, and made him a minister of military affairs. I don't know why Qian Guogong didn't come?"

In the Ming Dynasty, civil servants would always resist orders, and both the emperor and the ministers were used to it.There are many people who want to make a name for themselves in the world, and Emperor Tianqi doesn't care.However, warriors are different. Anyone who resists the decree and fails to obey it is a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.

Seeing the gloomy expression on Emperor Tianqi's face, Mu Tianbo quickly revealed an expression of sincerity and fear, and said, "My Majesty, my ancestors are old and not in good health. It is a long way from Yunnan to the capital, so it may be difficult to reach the capital. Originally, our ancestors I was planning to write an excerpt to make a statement, but the emperor must have misunderstood it, so he sent his ministers here."

Emperor Tianqi nodded. Emperor Tianqi knew this. Mu Changzuo was indeed old, and I am afraid he would not have a few years to live.After pondering for a moment, Emperor Tianqi said slowly: "It's because I didn't think carefully. Duke Qian guarded Yunnan for Daming, and he has done a lot for the country!" [

"Your Majesty, the Mu family's blessing from heaven for generations is the emperor's greatest favor to the Mu family. It is the Mu family's responsibility to guard Yunnan, and they dare not be greedy for merit." Mu Tianbo quickly bowed and saluted, and said respectfully.Although it was far away in Yunnan, the Mu family had eyes and ears in the capital, and they knew exactly what the young emperor was doing.

Mu Tianbo was very clear in his heart.Don't look at the emperor in front of you is young, not even a few years older than yourself.But whether it is wrist or power, that is not comparable to the first emperor.Facing Emperor Tianqi, Mu Tianbo didn't dare to be careless.

Taking a deep look at Mu Tianbo, this young man is indeed not simple. Emperor Tianqi frowned slightly, and said, "Since Duke Qian can't come, why didn't the prince come? Instead, he sent you here?"

I sighed in my heart, and it was exactly as my father said.Emperor Tianqi will definitely ask.Logically speaking, if his grandfather couldn't come, he had to send his father. Now that he came by himself, it was inevitable that Emperor Tianqi would feel uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, although my father is not very old, his health is not very good. He has been suffering from illnesses all these years, which is really not conducive to traveling far. The reason why the family ancestor sent the minister here is to hope that the minister can explain the reason before the holy car." Having said that, Mu Tianbo himself felt a little embarrassed, Grandpa couldn't come.Father can't come either.

Peeking at Emperor Tianqi, Mu Tianbo was very worried about offending Emperor Tianqi, which was why he came to the capital this time.If you submit a letter to express your feelings, I am afraid that Duke Qian will immediately become the target of public criticism.At that time, Emperor Tianqi will also feel that the Mu family has the intention to separate Yunnan, and then the matter will be serious.

But Mu Tianbo was worried in vain.Emperor Tianqi's face did not change at all, because Emperor Tianqi knew it a long time ago.Although what Mu Tianbo said seemed like a lie.But Emperor Tianqi knew it was true.Mu Tianbo never lied whether it was the memory of his previous life or the secret report from Jinyi Weidong Factory.

Mu Changzuo would die soon, and Mu Qiyuan didn't live for a few years, otherwise Mu Tianbo wouldn't have taken over as Duke Qian so early.Slowly nodded, Emperor Tianqi agreed with Mu Tianbo's statement, and said: "I know, I will send people to Yunnan to condolences to Duke Qian and his son. The Mu family is the pillar of the court, so I am naturally very happy." of importance."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Although Emperor Tianqi sent someone there, he felt like he didn't believe Mu Tianbo, but Mu Tianbo heaved a sigh of relief.Mu Tianbo knew very well in his heart that if he told himself such a thing, he might not believe it.Now that Emperor Tianqi sent someone to go, he and the emperor could rest assured that if he said it in front of his face, that would be the greatest trust in the Mu family.

Looking at Mu Tianbo with a smile, Emperor Tianqi said in a soft tone: "Young people are at the time when they are making great achievements. I see Aiqing as extraordinary. This time, don't go back to Yunnan, let's do something in the capital!"

"Thanks to the emperor's respect, I dare not try my best!" A smile appeared on Mu Tianbo's face, it was not his wish to eat and die in Yunnan.Originally, he thought that this would be the end of his life, but he didn't expect that Mu Tianbo would not let this opportunity pass by.

"I'm going to put my ugly words in front of me. This Minister of Military Aircraft has no place for you. That is the official position I gave to Duke Qian. You can take over the title of Lord Qian Guo, but you cannot take over the position of Minister of Military Aircraft!" Emperor Tianqi just said It was just for show, seeing that Mu Tianbo didn't let him down, he immediately felt better and said with a smile.

Mu Tianbo was taken aback, but he knew it himself, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, I am still young and have little qualifications, but I am relying on the shadow of my ancestors. The Minister of Military Affairs has a high position and authority, and I dare not covet it. But I am still young, so I would like to meet One day."

Looking at the high-spirited Mu Tianbo, Emperor Tianqi was slightly taken aback, and said with a big smile, "Okay, okay, young people must have such courage, I'm waiting for that day. The Military Aircraft Department has a lot of things to do right now, and it's time to employ people. You go to Wei Guogong's subordinates to do something. I have already handed over the military affairs of the seven southeastern provinces to Wei Guogong, so don't let me down."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will go all out!" Mu Tianbo was overjoyed immediately, he was very confident in himself, and he would definitely be able to achieve something.I want to tell everyone that even if I don't rely on the shadow of my ancestors, Mu Tianbo is no worse than anyone else!

"Okay, let's go! Do it well, don't let me down!" Emperor Tianqi issued the order to evict guests with a smile on his face.

After Mu Tianbo saluted Emperor Tianqi, he strode out with a vigorous look.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was July, and in the scorching summer of Beijing, the leaves were curled up by the sun.It was much cooler inside the palace, and Emperor Tianqi sat behind the Longshu table flipping through the memorial in his hand.

"Your Majesty, this is a cold melon that has been frozen. It's just right to eat now!" Wang Chengen brought a porcelain basin with a lot of ice cubes in it, but there was a big watermelon in the middle.

Putting down the memorial in his hand, Emperor Tianqi sighed softly.He smiled and said, "Have someone cut it up! It's hot now, so you can send some to the women in the harem. Don't be left behind."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Nubei has already sent someone to go, presumably the ladies have already eaten!" Wang Chengen smiled respectfully at Emperor Tianqi, and asked the little eunuch on the other side to cut the watermelon.

"Your Majesty, Duke Wei and Duke Ding seek an audience!" Chen Lin walked in quickly, saluted Emperor Tianqi respectfully, and said.

Emperor Tianqi was taken aback for a moment, and then a happy look appeared on his face.She smiled and said: "Let the two lovers come in! Four months have passed, and the two lovers must have some results, but I have been waiting for it!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Nubei will go and bring the two Dukes in!" Naturally, Chen Lin did not dare to neglect, the one waiting outside was none other than the two Dukes of the Ming Dynasty!

Little effort.Duke Wei and Duke Ding came in under the leadership of Chen Lin. Neither of them knelt down and saluted, "See the emperor!"

After waving his hand, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "In such a hot day, the two lovers still work tirelessly. I am very relieved. I also feel sorry for you. Take care of your health, both lovers!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. Although the weather is hot, our hearts are even hotter. This is a major matter that concerns the country, so naturally I dare not wait." It was Duke Ding who spoke, with a serious expression on his face.

Wei Guogong and Ding Guogong can be said to be two types of people.Ding Guogong is rigid and meticulous.Very serious.Wei Guogong is careless and careless at all times.It can be said that these two people are very embarrassing when they are together, but they come from the same vein and share the same spirit, so naturally there will be no irreconcilable disputes.

Emperor Tianqi looked at Wang Chengen with a smile, and ordered: "Go to the gazebo! Let someone send the cold melon over there, and I want to have a chat with the two lovers!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, Nubei is going to prepare now!" Naturally, Wang Chengen didn't dare to neglect, turned around and took people down to make arrangements.

Emperor Tianqi took Wei Guogong and Ding Guogong to a pavilion in the palace, which was Emperor Tianqi's favorite place to escape the summer heat.No matter how hot the weather is, there will always be a cool breeze blowing here, which makes people very comfortable.

Pointing to the stone pier in the pavilion, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "You two lovers, sit down and talk! Today, I have stolen half a day of leisure, and I just happened to have a good chat with the two lovers."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two of them didn't show any pretense, they came to the side of the stone pier and sat down.They are both Dukes of the state and relatives of the emperor. If they are really the elders of Emperor Tianqi, they will naturally not be like ordinary courtiers.

Picking up a piece of cold melon, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "You two lovers, try it. This cold melon is my favorite. It's really a good way to cool off the heat."

The two of them were not polite, they reached out to take a piece of watermelon and started to eat, obviously they were used to this kind of treatment.

The three of Emperor Tianqi didn't speak to each other until they finished eating the second piece of watermelon. Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "Although I hope that the two lovers will sit in the palace more, but I think the two lovers have something to do. I don't know if it's what I want!"

"Your Majesty, it has been four months. Although the Emperor has not urged us, we are also anxious. Although Wei Guoping is used to chaos in daily life, we still dare not slack off in major national affairs! This is what we sorted out. , the situation of the army in the 63 provinces in the south and north of the Ming Dynasty. The Military Aircraft Department has already discussed what needs to be paid attention to in the reform of the military system, and all notes are written in it." Ding Guogong took out a thick piece of paper, his face Serious and meticulous.

Emperor Tianqi suddenly felt a little funny. It was rare for Ding Guogong to make fun of Wei Guogong, and it was even rarer for him to put on a very serious look.

Wei Guogong on the one side just stood there giggling. Ding Guogong is his uncle, so he dare not talk back.Although I was upset, there was nothing I could do about this old-fashioned uncle. A smirk was probably the best way.

After pondering for a while, Emperor Tianqi looked at Duke Ding and said seriously, "Have you shown this item to Mr. Sun? Did he say anything?"

Duke Ding's heart moved, it seemed that he was not mistaken, Emperor Tianqi valued Sun Chengzong very much, and Sun Chengzong was the leader of this military aircraft department.But for Sun Chengzong, Ding Guogong did not have the slightest contempt in his heart, not only because of Emperor Tianqi, but also because Ding Guogong respected Sun Chengzong very much.

Nodding his head affirmatively, Duke Ding said solemnly: "Returning to the emperor, not only Mr. Sun has read these, but also the other ministers of the Military Aircraft Department. Each of the above items has been discussed one by one, and a consensus can be reached. All of them were written on it. Those that failed to reach an agreement were also written on it, with signatures on the back. As for the final note, I'm afraid the emperor will take it!"

Stretching out his hand to caress the thick stack of papers, Emperor Tianqi knew that this was the basis for his future actions. After thinking about it, he raised his head and said to Dingguo: "You two loves, this time I transferred Jinyiwei to you. I don't know if there are any mistakes? If there is something wrong, the two lovers can talk about it, and I don't have to shy away from it."

For Jin Yiwei, the two princes had complicated feelings, they were originally members of the military, and they were also members of the Twelve Guards of the army.It's just that Jinyiwei's status has already surpassed other pro-military forces. After thinking about it, Dingguo said: "The emperor's transfer of Jinyiwei is really a very wise decision. Luo Sigong of Jinyiwei and Wei Chao of Dongchang both worked hard. The ability is also good, and things are handled very well." (To be continued...)
