Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 530 Hard-working internal officials under heavy reward
The iron box is only the size of a palm, about two fingers thick, with no pattern on it, and when you open it, you can see the black ointment inside.

After Lin Shulu picked out some ointment with a silver spoon and ate it, his complexion improved obviously, but after covering the iron box, he rubbed it in his hand, always wanting to open it.

Shuangxi, who was standing on one side, saw Lin Shulu's appearance, took two steps forward, knelt down on the ground, and begged in a low voice:

"Master, taking this ointment will hurt your vitality, and the medicine you have been drinking will not cure the root cause. If you use this ointment to burn your spirit, something serious will happen!"

Lin Shulu's expression was a little dazed, and the painful and unbearable expression of coughing just now disappeared. After a while, he opened his mouth and said:
"What's the big deal, what else could be the big deal... Have you cleaned up the hands and tails of this ointment?"

Seeing that Lin Shulu's expression had returned to calm, Shuangxi didn't dare to say more, reached out to wipe away her tears, kowtowed and said:
"The ointment bought outside the city, after taking it, buried the person on the barren slope outside the city, no one will know."

Lin Shulu nodded, and he could hear that Zhongqi was much stronger than before, and he ordered:
"Prepare to get off the soft sedan, and go to value the house!"

"Grandpa, you just took the medicine and ointment, rest here for a while..."

"You bastard!! Why are you acting like a woman? This season is the time when all the prisons are recruiting manpower. I am not there, how can I do things, don't talk nonsense, prepare the sedan chair!!"

************
In March of the ninth year of Wanli, the palace replenished eunuchs, because since the middle and late Jiajing period, the palace had no large-scale recruitment of eunuchs, and most of the eunuchs were weak and old.

Since the late Longqing period, supplements have been made, but the amount of supplementation each time is not too large. It is quite difficult to run various tasks in the palace. Report to the Empress Dowager Cisheng, Empress Dowager Rensheng, and Emperor Wanli, and plan to replace [-] old and weak eunuchs to guard the imperial mausoleum and Huangzhuang. The shortfall will be made up from outside the palace.

The palace is young and strong, and several nobles know in their hearts that this decree is also to be followed. Although the outer dynasty is quite taboo about this, they can't raise any objections.

Inside and outside the capital, the nameless whites everywhere have become a disaster, good people and even wealthy families have suffered a lot from it, these nameless whites who are neither human nor ghosts have been added to the palace, which can be regarded as a way to relieve them.

Guarding the imperial mausoleum and guarding the Huangzhuang, they are just cleaning up. They don't have any busy work, but they don't have much communication with the outside world. To put it bluntly, they are waiting to die.

Castrated by their parents or self-castrated, some people have no livelihood, and some people want to enter the palace to gain the glory and wealth of eunuchs. These unknown people are no longer considered normal people.

Except for the children under the age of ten who may be lucky and have prosperity and wealth in the future, most of the nameless whites who enter the palace will only do hard labor, but compared to the life of people and ghosts outside, at least food and clothing are guaranteed , and there is an incomparably elusive opportunity for wealth and honor in front of her eyes.

If the outside of the palace wants to make a success in the official career, it needs to take the imperial examination step by step, and be born as a Jinshi. The eunuchs in the palace want to become eunuchs, and they have to go to the inner school to study. Only those who have the opportunity to become the so-called eunuchs have the opportunity to be called eunuchs.

These people coming in from outside are meaningless at all, they are just supplementing manpower, so after the eunuchs in charge of the twelve supervisors, four divisions and eight bureaus and the young supervisors in charge have set the number of manpower allocated to each place, they don't bother to care about other things. Leave it to the directors and stewards below to do it.

On the contrary, the supervising eunuch Lin Shulu showed his diligence as always, and went to see the selection in person. The Yumajian needs some brave people to work in the camps, and also needs some smart people to go to the Huangzhuang Huangdian. Maybe this is the eunuch Lin. One of the reasons to be there in person.

Now that he was on the spot to select, other supervisors, bureaus, and bureaus selected him as the main person. Eunuch Lin was the top five bosses in the palace.

It is no wonder that people from various inner court yamen do not go. The work of selecting and supplementing personnel is extremely cumbersome, and there is no benefit to working hard. These lowest-level laborers will not help those who choose them. very.

However, Eunuch Lin proved that the reputation of diligence was not in vain. After working there for several days, he did not relax at all, and selected a large number of people to enter the palace.

This behavior spread to the ears of the empress dowager benevolence and empress dowager cisheng, and they were praised a few times, which was also expected by everyone.

When these shipbuilders from Shandong came to Tianjin Wei, some were willing, while others were intimidated. Wu Da, who was looking for shipbuilders along the coast of Shandong, did everything he could.

Needless to say, those who invite people here have good things to say. Some people think that in Shandong, they can build ships and earn a little wealth. It is not bad to live with their wives and children. The things that have been done to the ancestral grave have been done.

How can a craftsman who works to make money resist a strong man who does such an outrageous thing, and has no choice but to come to Tianjin Wei.

After most of the craftsmen came, they were also tempted by the prosperity of Tianjin Wei. The sea has been banned for so many years, and the craftsmen who dared to build ships were more active than those farmers who worked hard. They used to live in Shandong, just listening to After hearing about it and seeing the real scene here today, I realized that the description of the so-called rumors is not as good as what I saw with my own eyes.

They were also led to see the riverside, the seaside, and the many shops along the riverside and the canal, and saw that this place was as prosperous as any other place in the world.

After reading these, people with brains also understand that Tianjin Wei needs shipbuilding, and a large number of sea-going ships need to be built. Ships will bring greater wealth to Tianjin Wei, but it will also make the shipbuilders rich.

With such a scale and prosperity, shipbuilding here is more promising than those fishing villages on the coast of Shandong.

Some ambitious shipwrights, when they were led to the woodyard, saw the huge trees that were said to be only found in the deep mountains of Yunnan, Guizhou and Southeast Asia. Seeing such big trees, they thought about what kind of big ships they could build.

There are those who are tempted, ambitious, and want to go home, but although the soldiers on Tianjin Wei's side are very polite to them, the guards are strict, and no one wants to run away.

What's more, the shipbuilders, the pirates, and the local green forests all have some entangled relationships. Everyone still understands the weight of Wang Tong's Jinyiwei Qianhu, but they don't know what Wang Tong's weight is. All the villains are being ordered around by Wang Tong, and they can't afford to offend them.

After the shipwrights came to Tianjin Wei, their lives were also very nourishing. Big fish and big meat were enough. They slaughtered sheep and pigs every day, and they ate hundreds of meters of flour.

This kind of meal may not be available every day in Shandong, but here they promise that as long as they work in Tianjin Wei, they can eat this meal every day, and they also promise that when the time comes, your family will be able to live well On this day, the family is happy.

In all respects, Tianjin Wei had already worked hard on these shipwrights, so he had no choice but to be tempted.

************
On March [-]th, skilled shipwrights were gathered in Zhaojiawan, three miles north of the mouth of the Haihe River. This is the place where grain ships from Weijun Port in Tianjin used to berth. Fishing is a living here.

By the time the shipwrights arrived here, the site had been cleared out, houses and warehouses had been built, the docks had been built, and the abandoned port had been rebuilt.

160 The three craftsmen came to wait in front of the dock, but a hundred steps away from the dock, there was a one-foot-high pillar, which seemed to be hung with something, covered with an oilcloth, and there were several guards with solemn expressions, It's quite mysterious, I don't know what it is, the craftsmen are all staring and whispering over there.

Seeing that it was almost noon, there was smoke and dust rising from the west, the generals looked around for a while, and then yelled at the craftsmen to stand still, because Mr. Wang came.

Most of the craftsmen brought here by Wu Da had never seen Wang Tong, but the Huwei army had won every victory this time, Tianjin Wei was so prosperous, and the worship and respect that the soldiers talked about made them feel quite embarrassed Fascinated, when I heard people coming, although I was told to obey the rules, I couldn't help but look over.

"So young!!"

When Wang Tong got off his horse and was embraced by everyone and came to the front, all the shipwrights were surprised, and some unsteady people even exclaimed, Wang Tong ignored the surprise, just walked to the pillar with a smile , greet everyone in the past.

After gathering, Wang Tong said:
"Masters, have you seen Oki in Kiba, and the fan gunboat Feilu parked at the port?

In the past few days since I came to Tianjinwei, I have seen the craftsmen and the wood farm, and naturally I have also visited the gunboats docked in the Haihe River. When I saw the shipwrights below nodding, Wang Tong said with a smile:

"Masters are invited to come here. Everyone must know the intention, which is to let you build a ship like the Flying Deer, or even a bigger ship."

This was expected, and the craftsmen thought that they were not very excited. Being invited here was nothing more than earning money for their work. It was the same as in Shandong, and they earned a little more.

After Wang Tong finished speaking, he turned around and tore off the cloth covering the pillar. All the people present, except for a few soldiers who knew the inside story, couldn't help but "ah".

There are a lot of wooden sticks stuck on this wooden post, which looks like a dead tree at first glance, but there are glittering gold cakes hanging on the ends of the wooden sticks, each golden cake is the size of a child's palm, and is as thick as a finger.

Hundreds of gold cakes were hanging there, the golden light was dazzling, everyone was subconsciously calculating how much the gold on the wooden post was worth in silver, what a fortune this was!
"Master Meng Side has made great efforts in the construction of the shipyard and made great contributions. Come up and get two gold cakes!"

Wang Tong said loudly with a smile.
