Chapter 196
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the south has been laid out. It won't be long before the salt farm is under control." Fang Hongzan heard the emperor talking about the south, and immediately understood that the emperor was asking about the salt farm.
"Well, hurry up and don't let anyone know about the layout of the salt field. Only you know about it, understand? Also, this matter involves the cooperation of the Patent Office, so the Patent Office will use the one you recommended. People, I hope that when the time comes to do it, the cooperation will not be in place, do you understand?" Yang Reform has been worrying about the killing of salt merchants, and he agreed that the salt administration will only be suspended for one year, and the salt merchants will probably still Boiling salt to make table salt, Yang Reform was prepared to take advantage of the outbreak of the traitor case of Jin merchants in Shaanxi to hype the merchants as a model of traitors, and then use patents to prevent salt merchants from using sun-dried salt in this large public opinion environment. Instead of cooking salt, take away the base of the salt merchants, and destroy the salt merchants. In this way, in one fell swoop, I can control the national salt industry in my own hands. At that time, whether to restore the salt administration or not, it is not my own decision Forget it, no need to look at the winks of bureaucrats and salt merchants.

This matter, Fang Hongzan also did it with his head up. If the emperor's work is successful, I am afraid that the ministers will use him to vent their anger, and he will not be a good one. Come out and take the blame.However, Jin Yiwei's first lesson is to be loyal to the emperor, and only obey the emperor's order. Fang Hongzan has no choice but to carry out this matter for the emperor to the end.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I understand that I will not disappoint Your Majesty." Fang Hongzan replied resolutely.

"Well, you understand the strong relationship between the patent office and the southern affairs, that's good, I hope you don't miss my business, and in addition, you should pay attention to how many of these patents, I have given some patents to some people before. Yes, this, let’s go through another procedure with the patent office, and it will be protected by the patent office from now on. If anyone wants to use this invention without the inventor’s consent, then it’s up to the patent office to take action. I see the one you chose I used to work in Beizhen Fusi, I hope he will not be soft... Also, have you heard of the glass field in Liulizhai? There may be many patents that need to be applied for at the Patent Office. This, You are responsible..." Yang Reform explained.

"I understand, I obey!" Fang Hongzan understood the special relationship between the glass factory and the emperor, and also understood that Liulizhai was actually the emperor's property, so he knew what he should do.

……

After dealing with the matter of the Patent Office, Yang Reform has always been worried about the Guozijian issue, so he decided to visit the Guozijian.Li Ruolian asked himself to use more than 100 million taels of silver to lend usury at one time. To be honest, Yang Reform's heart is also a bit vain. These days, I have been thinking about it. What if it is not true or messed up If so, then it would be a tragedy for me, more than 100 million taels!One-third of the annual income of the Ming Dynasty!Anxiety is always inevitable.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?" Seeing that the emperor looked like he was going out of the palace, Wang Chengen thought that the emperor was going to see his "mother". Didn't he just go yesterday?This frequency is too much.

"Go to the Imperial College, go to the Imperial College." Yang Reform was very worried about his money, it was 120 million taels!If you don't see the truth, you can't feel at ease.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen agreed.He added another sentence: "Your Majesty, Qin Tianjian Li Zubai begged to see him, and said that the Kongming Lantern that can hold people has been completed. Your Majesty, please go and watch it."

Li Zubai?A Kongming lantern that can hold people?Yang Reform remembered what happened. In the past, he really asked this guy to be a hot air balloon. He planned to build a manned hot air balloon, so as to broaden the horizons and broaden the minds of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

"Well, well, let's meet Li Zubai first." Yang Reform felt that Li Zubai's heart should not be chilled by this incident. The fact that the hot air balloon took off can be said to be a big sign.

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Xinuang Pavilion.

"The humble minister Li Zubai kowtowed to see my emperor, long live long live long live long live long live long live long live long live the emperor."

Yang Reform took a closer look at Li Zubai, he was in good spirits, but this person obviously suffered a lot, and this person was obviously much older.

"Get up, Li Qing, I heard that your hot air balloon is ready? Can it contain people?" Yang Reform asked.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the hot air balloon of Weichen is indeed ready, and it can indeed hold people. I hereby invite your Majesty to watch it." Li Zubai said that he had been proud of his work for many days, and his whole body became high-spirited. Also more confident.

"Hehe, great, I'm just about to see this thing that can carry people to the sky. Did you bring it?" Yang Reform thought that this hot air balloon would definitely surprise those rotten scholars!I want to stir up the increasingly dead water of the Ming Dynasty and turn it into living water. I have to take more doses of this powerful medicine.Let the numb Ming Dynasty scholar-bureaucrats and Ming Dynasty people wake up and come alive.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I didn't bring it with you... I thought that this palace is where His Majesty controls the world. I dare not fly a hot air balloon in the palace. This offends Your Majesty. I beg your Majesty to go to the observatory." Watch, that place is more spacious, and it won't draw too much attention." Although Li Zubai really wanted the emperor to watch the hot air balloon, he was also an official, what kind of place is this palace?Can people fly over his head casually?
For Li Zubai's remarks, Yang Reform felt that it made sense. The imperial power, the symbol of the emperor, was still very important to the people of the Ming Dynasty. The awe of the emperor and imperial power far exceeded Yang Reform's own time traveler.

"Well, let's go to the observatory to see it." Yang Reform decided to watch the hot air balloon carrying people. This thing must support Li Zubai. It is very difficult to engage in technology and research and development in the Ming Dynasty. If you don't work hard With the support of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to want technology to take root.

"Your Majesty, what about the Imperial College?" Wang Chengen reminded.

"It's okay, after watching the hot air balloon in a while, it's not too late to go to the Imperial College."

"Your Majesty, are you going to drive me, or?"

"Putting it out? No, it's too ostentatious. Let's go in micro-service, so you can feel at ease." Yang Reform quickly decided to go in micro-clothes. If he went in public, the ostentation would be too much and it would be too time-consuming.

"As you order, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen got the letter of approval and went to make arrangements immediately.

The carriage slid quickly towards the observatory.

The observatory is located in the east of Beijing, and after a while, the horse-drawn carriage team rushed to the place.

Yang Reform got out of the car and found that this place was already close to the city wall.Not far away, there is a very tall city wall. This should be the outermost city wall in Beijing, which is why it is so tall.Yang Reform has been in the Ming Dynasty for so long, and this is the first time he has traveled such a long distance, and it is the first time he has seen the city walls of Beijing.

"Big companion, that place is the city wall of Beijing?" Yang Reform was very excited. How could he not be excited to see the historical relics up close?This is something you can't see in the 21st century!

Wang Chengen supported the emperor, for fear that the emperor would fall off the carriage. Seeing the emperor's question, he replied: "Your Majesty, there is the city wall of the capital. It is high. It is impossible for the enemy to break in." Wang Chengen is very confident about the city wall, thinking that a gentleman can't stand under a dangerous wall, let alone a city wall that protects the emperor?Can you not be tall?

Yang Reform took a look at the city wall of Beijing in the Ming Dynasty. It was probably more than ten meters high. If you don't get smashed to death, you can still get flustered!Yang Reform suddenly became very curious about the city walls of Beijing.From now on, he might fight to the death with the wild boar skin here.It is necessary to inspect the height of the city wall on the spot. In the future, it is necessary to go to see the very famous battle of Guangqumen, to see how it is fought and how it is arranged.

Yang Reform's thoughts have already drifted to the battle against the wild boar skin in the future. He feels that he is too nerdy. He stays in the Forbidden City all day and has not even inspected the walls of Beijing City, which is close at hand. This is a typical case. Talk on paper!It is necessary to visit the city wall of Beijing on the spot.

Yang Reform felt that he was an otaku, and he was also an otaku in the Ming Dynasty. He came here for a few months, and became the emperor for a few months. This place is the place where we will fight against wild boar skin in the future!Yang Reform's mind has already floated up.

"...Well, yes, yes, it's really magnificent! It looks quite thick..." Yang Reform couldn't help but nodded in praise. The city wall of Beijing in the Ming Dynasty was really too high and too thick.It seems that a "house" has been built on the city wall.

"Of course, Your Majesty, it's not about slaves. This city wall is three or four feet high. Even if the enemy climbs up by a ladder, it is still difficult, let alone attacking the city. With this city wall, it is impossible for the capital to be breached... Seeing that the emperor was very interested in the city wall, Wang Chengen kept praising the city wall of the capital. You know, why does the emperor have such courage and determination to guard the border?Without any guarantee, can the emperor come to guard the border?
Yang Reform couldn't help nodding. He was three or four feet high, that is, more than ten meters high. According to the height of buildings in the 21st century, it should be four stories high. There are often reports of this on TV, not to mention the time of battle. It is not a difficult word to say clearly that this kind of city is to be attacked in this cold weapon era. I want to go and see what the city walls of Beijing look like now.

Li Zubai looked hopeful, and Yang Reform couldn't bear to dampen his enthusiasm.However, this on-the-spot inspection of the city walls of the Ming Dynasty made Yang Reform even more tempted. This is where he might fight wild boar skin in the future. It is related to the future of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also related to his future life safety. Yang Reform is in a hurry I am so patient that I want to see the city wall.

"Master Li, I am suddenly very interested in this city wall, and want to see the city wall. I wonder if Master Li can accompany you to watch it." Yang Reform still decided to go to the city wall first. It is important to save your own life.

After Yang reformed, he was in plain clothes.Li Zubai also changed into plain clothes, and was carefully standing beside the emperor to serve him, hoping that the emperor would go to see his hot air balloon as soon as possible, when he suddenly heard the emperor say "Master Li" to him, and the emperor called himself my son, he was terribly frightened.He stared at the emperor dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer.

Wang Chengen stood aside and said: "My lord, the young master is out of the palace, so he calls himself the young master. He has a different name, the surname is Yang, the first name is reform, and the word is Baidu. You can write it down. The young master is going to play on the city wall. Lead the way, remember, don't reveal the identity of the young master, otherwise, you are the only one asking." Wang Chengen immediately popularized the alias that Yang reformed Weifu to Li Zubai.

Li Zubai was dumbfounded, the emperor still has an alias?From the looks of it, he is also an emperor who likes traveling in micro-clothes!The emperor of the Zhu family has been bound by the ministers in the Forbidden City since the Tumu Fortress incident. Few emperors can come out to look around. The emperors who can come out are all dubbed playful and playful.

Seeing Li Zubai acting like an idiot, Wang Chengen scolded, "Master Li, why don't you lead the way? Are you letting the young master stand here all the time?"

Li Zubai broke into a cold sweat from fright. This Wang Chengen is a eunuch who is under one person and above tens of thousands of people. He is the head of the palace and the emperor's closest confidant. If he offends the emperor, the emperor may not remember who you are, and he has no intention of killing you. , if he offends Wang Chengen, that day will be unbearable.

"Your Majesty, I'll go now, I'll go here, Your Majesty...no, my lord, this way please..." Li Zubai hurriedly led Yang Reform.

The observatory was next to the city wall, higher than the city wall, and soon reached the steps of the upper city wall, but it was guarded by officers and soldiers.

Li Zubai is an official of the Qin Tianjian. He often comes to this observatory, and he is very familiar with the officers and soldiers here. He bears in mind Wang Chengen's warning just now, not to expose the identity of the emperor, so he is going to have a relationship with the officers and soldiers here, and let himself go. People go up the city wall.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city were quite familiar with Li Zubai, and they greeted Li Zubai from a long distance away: "Master Li, you are here again at the Astronomical Observatory today!"

If Li Zubai was on weekdays, he would still put on the airs of an official. Officials and soldiers are two different concepts. Although the officials of Qintianjian are not very good, but today, Li Zubai wants to bring the emperor and his party to the city wall. I discussed it with several officers and soldiers without humility, because the officials of the Qin Tianjian are really bad, and it doesn't matter to ask others to do things.

"Hehe, how are you doing these days? Haven't seen General Zhang for some time?" Li Zubai warmly greeted General Zhang, the military officer stationed on the city wall, and prepared to make this "general" accommodating so that he could get the emperor onto the city wall. visit.

This "General" Zhang also wondered, what did Master Li Zubai eat today?Talk like this?Still calling yourself a general?I am only a small family, and I am still a hundred and eight thousand miles away from the general. In this Beijing city, if you hit someone with a brick, you can hit someone with a higher position than yourself.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, where is Mr. Li going?" This "General" Zhang is also strange, this Li Zu didn't go to the observatory during the day, why did he come to his own city wall?

"Hehe, it's like this, General Zhang, I have a few friends who want to take a look on the city wall, and I ask General Zhang to be accommodating." Li Zubai was also very helpless. If the emperor didn't want to go to the city wall, why would he beg for one so humbly? Small hundred households.

The "general" surnamed Zhang immediately refused, saying: "My lord, it's not that Zhang is unaccommodating, it's just that there is nothing I can do to help! Recently, His Majesty has issued strict orders to strictly guard against spies, especially the city gates. This is not a city gate, but if you want to climb the city wall, then there is nothing you can do."

Yang Reform originally thought that with the corruption of the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thing would be accommodated soon, but he didn't expect to meet a person here who earnestly carried out his orders. Yang Reform inevitably became a little interested in the whole person .

Li Zubai's plea was rejected, his face was flushed, it was a small loss for the emperor, and it delayed the emperor's excitement, who can afford it?He was about to reprimand Zhang Baihu, who didn't know what to do.

Wang Chengen had been seeing Li Zubai's close relationship with this guard of the city. He didn't want to reveal his identity, so he went with Li Zubai to negotiate. He thought it was very simple, but he didn't expect that he was rejected, so Wang Chengen was very surprised!Since when did the city guards of the Ming Dynasty not bend the law for personal gain?But the surprise was the surprise, and he gave the "bodyguard" next to him a wink.The bodyguard immediately understood, stepped forward, took out a token, waved it in front of Zhang Baihu, and said, "I'm on business, don't stop me, understand?"

That Zhang Baihu suddenly saw the waist card of Jin Yiwei Qianhu dangling in front of his eyes, and he was frightened. This person seems to be a servant, and he has the waist card of Jin Yiwei Qianhu. What level does the right master have to be? of?Zhang Baihu was dumbfounded.Immediately knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "I understand, I respectfully invite the superior officer to go to the city wall." He quickly called his soldiers to get out of the way and let the superior officer go to the city wall.

Yang Reform had a good impression of this person, so he mentioned something to Wang Chengen: "This person seems to be a bit reliable in his work, and he will be promoted if he has the opportunity in the future."

A person's fate changes in an instant, in a single sentence.

"Little one obeys." Wang Chengen replied.

Such a small episode will soon pass.

"Huchi...huchi..." Yang Reform climbed up the city wall in one breath, holding on to the battlements, panting heavily.This city wall is as high as a four-story building, and he didn't feel it when he climbed up in one breath, but only felt it when he climbed up.

This is the city wall of Beijing in the Ming Dynasty?Although Yang Reform was mentally prepared, he was still shocked!The tall city wall extends to the distance, square, powerful, majestic and majestic, but under the city wall, it is small and low.Looking down, there is actually a little fear of heights.

Yang Reform took a look. The city wall was probably as high as a four-story building, and there were battlements on it that were almost as tall as a person. This kind of height was really high in ancient times.

Yang Reform made a gesture. There used to be a wooden ladder in his home that could go up to the second floor. This kind of ladder is already quite high. Standing on this ladder, it is still wobbly. The city wall is at least four stories high. , add a battlement, I'm afraid it will be on the fourth and a half floors. Yang Reform has never seen the kind of ladder that can be directly placed on the windows of the fourth floor, except for the fire truck's aerial ladder and the super long fire ladder.To attack this kind of city wall, it may take a long time just to climb the ladder, and you have to withstand the attacks of the people on the city wall. Yang Reform thinks that this kind of city wall is really strong!To attack this kind of city, how many people would have to die?It takes courage to attack this kind of city!

Yang Reform looked at the bottom of the city wall, far away, and sighed endlessly. How could such a majestic city be easily breached by Li Zicheng?You know, the wild boar skin has entered the customs several times, and it is all hopeful and sighing!I haven't even touched the city walls of Beijing City.How did Li Zicheng break through such a majestic city all at once?Why can't this majestic city be able to guard against Li Zicheng?Is it true that the infectious disease caused the large-scale infection of the officers and soldiers defending the city of Beijing, as in the legend, and they have no combat effectiveness?Li Zicheng took the opportunity to destroy the city of Beijing?
