I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 574
In the blink of an eye, another few days passed.

It has been almost eight days since Zhu Zhanji and others last communicated, and they have not received any news during this period.

Fortunately, news from the fleet sent out later would come back from time to time, so that Li Tian would not be ignorant of the overseas situation.

According to the news they sent back, the traces of the pirates appeared once again that day, and they were never seen again.

According to their speculation, they either wandered around and left, or were wiped out.

In fact, no matter what the situation is, it is still good news for Li Tian.

At this time, he really didn't have the extra energy to pay attention to the overseas situation.

After getting this information, he could only pray silently in his heart that Zhu Zhanji, a boy, can be auspicious and turn danger into safety.

In addition to the matter of Zhu Zhanji and others, there are a few other things in the capital that give Li Tian a headache.

The first is the matter of the exchange and the Wang family competing for cotton.

The Wang family doesn't know what is going crazy, it seems that they are determined to win with Li Tian, ​​and the competition between the two has already doubled the price of cotton, but they are so happy to plant this year. The people in Cotton are all happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.

The second is that Yu Qian has been investigating the tea horse case for almost half a month, but the information he found is very limited. Some people in the court have begun to whisper secretly, saying that Li Tian deliberately favored Yang Shiqi and others. Fairness annoyed Li Tiantian, but there was nothing he could do.

Finally, the steam engine has entered the final testing stage. Once it has passed the inspection this time, it can use the whole machine of this experimental model as a blueprint for the most primitive mass production.

But in this way, the fine steel produced by Chen Ji is not enough at all, and it is necessary to expand the scale of steel production as soon as possible.

Li Tiancai had a rare pause for a few days, and now a bunch of things piled up in his hands.

In the early morning of this day, Li Tian dealt with an early dynasty. Some time ago, he investigated the Tianxia Guards, and those middle and low-level generals who were brought back to the capital by the Xuanjia Cavalry, dealt with them according to their personal abilities and the severity of corruption.

If the circumstances are very minor, they will be transferred to the newly-built military academy and rebuilt. If the circumstances are serious, they will be dismissed on the spot and the sentence should be changed.

When these guys were in the frontier army, Li Tian was not easy to deal with them, but when he returned to the capital, Li Tian didn't have so many scruples.

It is worth mentioning that among so many generals who were found to be corrupt, only two or three had the spearhead of resistance when they were summoned by the Xuanjia cavalry. Immediately confessed.

The two guys who dared to resist were all executed by the Xuanjia cavalry on the spot.

According to the information sent back by the entourage of the intelligence department, they entangled hundreds of subordinates at that time and wanted to kill about twenty black cavalry soldiers.

But he didn't want to be easily killed by Xuanjia iron cavalry, and the general who disrespected the imperial edict was cut off by them when the conflict happened.

When Li Tian heard the news, although he was surprised for a moment, he was not too surprised. He also knew that people from places like the frontier army had a bit of a temper.

If no one resisted, it would make him feel that there was something wrong with the combat effectiveness of the frontier army.

After dealing with these frontier generals, he went directly out of the palace to Zhang Qinghuan's tea house.

These two days are the queen's special period, originally Li Tian should be by her side.

However, another batch of cotton came into Hong Kong today. According to Wang Fu's investigation, the Wang family united with several other cotton textile merchants and planned to compete with Li Tianchang.

The people at the exchange were afraid that they would not be able to handle it, so Wang Fu called Li Tian over.

When Li Tian arrived, the exchange hadn't officially opened yet, but at this time the teahouse had already gathered a large group of people who wanted to watch the excitement.

When Zhang Qinghuan learned that Li Tian was coming, he hurriedly called him to the third floor.

Upstairs, Zhang Qinghuan said to him with some reproach,
"Your Majesty, why did you come out of the palace at this time? The Empress needs your Majesty's care at this time. If she finds out that you have gone out of the palace again, she will be very sad."

Li Tian didn't hide from her either, and told her the truth directly.

said with a wry smile,

"I can't do it if I don't come this time. The Wang family has united with some small businesses, and I don't know where they got a lot of money. They are going to grab this batch of cotton that has just arrived. This batch of cotton is very important to me and the upcoming textile industry The workshop is very important, I have to come and see it myself!"

Seeing that Li Tian said it so solemnly, although Zhang Qinghuan didn't know much about the exchange, but he did understand a little bit after listening to the merchants in the teahouse talking about it every day.

She frowned and said,
"Is this matter very troublesome? Your Majesty has to go out to solve it yourself."

Li Tian shook his head lightly and sighed,

"If I don't come, I can't do it. The quantity of this batch of cotton is very large. If anyone can win this batch, there will be no shortage of raw materials before the cotton is harvested next year. So this time I will take this batch no matter what. Down."

Zhang Qinghuan said puzzledly,
"Buying and selling goods means that the one with the highest price gets it. As long as there is enough money, it's all right. With the royal bank as the backing behind the exchange, is it possible that there will be a shortage of money!"

Li Tian shook his head and smiled,

"Qing Huan, you don't know this. The exchange has a rule called anti-monopoly. There are some things that you can't buy with money."

Zhang Qinghuan became more and more confused the more he listened, and finally shook his head and said,

"Forget it, Qing Huan still doesn't want to get involved, and His Majesty can do whatever he wants!"

Li Tian saw that the stock exchange was open and there was still some time, so he smiled and pulled Zhang Qinghuan into his arms, and said softly to her,

"Didn't you say you were going to open a milk tea shop some time ago? How are you preparing?"

Zhang Qinghuan was hugged hard by him, her pretty face blushed, she twisted a few times without breaking free, seeing that there was no one else around, she stopped struggling, rolled her eyes at him and said,

"The method of making milk tea is not difficult. Under the guidance of Qing Huan, several of my staff have basically mastered the operation after a few operations. Now that the store is almost found, the supply of raw materials is only needed to officially open. .”

"That's good, the raw material side, I will go to the Tiangongyuan to urge the Tiangongyuan later, I believe it will be completed soon!"

After finishing speaking, Li Tian gently pinched Zhang Qinghuan's tender cheeks, and said,

"I didn't expect Qing Huan to become more and more comfortable in doing business. I thought it would take you ten days and a half months."
