The Most Powerful Man in the World

However, looking at Zhu Houzhao's expression, Chu Yi knew that this was Zhu Houzhao's intention. If he refused, he would have disappointed Zhu Houzhao, so Chu Yi smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Sure enough, seeing that Chu Yi did not refuse, Zhu Houzhao showed a bit of joy on his face, and waved his hand: "You can take whatever you like, but if it's not enough, I will order to collect precious medicinal materials for your partner."

Chu Yi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, enough is enough. In fact, for the minister, no amount of medicinal materials is of much use, and the minister only needs to take a few of them and it is enough."

Said that, Chu Yi stepped forward and took two hundred-year-old high-quality white ginseng, took a few snow lotus flowers, and finally took a few more ganoderma lucidum.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Chu Yi stop and said, "Big companion, you just take these?"

Chu Yi chuckled and said, "All these are enough."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi and said, "Okay, I thought that these herbs could help Dabian, but it seems that Datong really doesn't need much."

After all the jade and jewelry have entered the inner vault, the chief supervisor in charge of the inner vault will lead the eunuchs and eunuchs to close the gate of the inner vault.

Chu Yi said goodbye to the Son of Heaven, but went straight to the East Factory.

An independent courtyard in the East Factory has been quite mysterious for a long time. Everyone only knows that Wang Zheng, who is in charge of this place, has searched for many skilled craftsmen to enter, and the mysterious ones don't know what to do next.

When Chu Yi entered that yard, he saw dozens of craftsmen concentrating on what they were doing, but Chu Yi's gaze was given to the scene on a very wide lake that had been dug out in the yard. attracted to the past.

Although it is said that Chu Yi rarely comes here, it does not mean that Chu Yi does not pay attention to this place.

It can even be said that for these craftsmen, Chu Yi even used the channels of the East Factory. Otherwise, it would be impossible to gather so many master craftsmen at once.

Even if the status of these craftsmen is not high, but in the eyes of some people, they are all treasures. Many master craftsmen registered in the Ministry of Industry have been quietly used by many people to get away, one can imagine it. It was not easy for Yi to search for these people.

It was obvious that Chu Yi had put in so much effort, and at this moment he finally saw the results.

In the excavated large lake that covers an area of ​​several acres, a variety of boat models with a length of [-] meters are floating steadily on it.

As long as anyone with a discerning eye can see that these ships are definitely built according to a fleet, there are obviously huge ships, auxiliary ships, and even some warships.

That is Chu Yi. If the others did not allow it, they would not even want to enter this courtyard. When Chu Yi appeared here, someone had already given it to Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng hurriedly walked over from a room, and when he saw Chu Yi, he stepped forward and bowed to Chu Yi and said, "Meet the Governor."

Chu Yi looked away from those ships, glanced at Wang Zheng, and nodded slightly: "Wang Zheng, what happened to the things you asked you to prepare?"

Wang Zheng's spirit was shocked, his chest straightened and he looked at Chu Yi and said, "Go back to the lord, everything is ready. After everyone's efforts during this period, a simple fleet model has been made, especially these models. The explanation is based on the reduction of the real Zheng He's treasure ship, and many ships even only need to be enlarged in a certain proportion according to the model, and then a large ship can be successfully built."

Hearing what Wang Zheng said, Chu Yi's eyes lit up. He had just instructed Wang Zheng to lead these craftsmen to make models of some of the main ships of Zheng He's treasure ship.

Looking at the busy craftsmen, Chu Yi couldn't help but show admiration in his eyes. Huaxia has not lacked skilled craftsmen since ancient times, and even many ancient skills, even thousands of years later, are amazing.

Under the guidance of Wang Zheng, Chu Yi walked to the edge of the big lake. It could be seen that Wang Zheng was leading these master craftsmen here during this period of time, whether he was self-taught or influenced by these craftsmen. Dozens or [-] kinds of boats are quite rare, and they are pointed out to Chu Yi one by one, and the uses, advantages and disadvantages of these boats are listed one by one.

After a full cup of tea, through Wang Zheng's introduction, even Chu Yi had a general understanding of the ship performance represented by these ship models.

Glancing at Wang Zheng, Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "I didn't expect you to know so much about these ships."

Wang Zheng hurriedly said: "Because of the love of the superintendent, the slaves naturally dare not neglect, but thanks to these craftsmen, if it was not for their teaching, the slaves would not have understood so much."

Chu Yi looked at Wang Zhengdao with satisfaction: "Even if others are willing to teach you, you have to work hard enough yourself. You did not disappoint the Governor."

Hearing Chu Yi's admiration, Wang Zheng's face suddenly showed a somewhat excited look, and now Chu Yi pondered: "Get ready, bring these ship models with me in three days, and go with me to meet the emperor, when the time comes. Regarding the performance of these ships, you need to explain to His Majesty!"

Seeing Chu Yi looking at him with a solemn look, Wang Zheng was in a daze at the moment, and Chu Yi's words were still ringing in his ears. A heart pounding.

How important is this, as long as he can seize the opportunity, he will definitely be able to leave a deep impression in the emperor's mind.

Taking a deep breath, Wang Zheng respectfully looked towards Chu Yi for a week and said, "I will not let the Governor down!"

Watching Chu Yi leave, Wang Zheng couldn't help showing excitement on his face. Looking at the master craftsmen, Wang Zheng took a deep breath and went to ask these master craftsmen with some respect.

Chu Yi returned to the study, and there were many files on the table. Obviously, these files were delivered not long ago, and they involved all aspects. The superintendent of the superintendent has to pay attention to and deal with more things every day than before.

Thanks to Chu Yi's delegating power enough, he handed over many things to the cabinet, the supervisor of ceremonies, and even some confidants of the East Factory.

Flip through these files at will. These are files handled by Supervisor Sli and Dongchang, and he only needs to look at them.

Soon Chu Yi flipped through most of the pages, and suddenly Chu Yi's eyes narrowed, and in this file, a familiar name came into view.

Huashan School, Yue Buqun.

It has been some time since the departure from Nanjing, and Yue Buqun has obviously returned to the Huashan School.

On top of this dossier is a record of Yue Buqun's use of Huayin County's East Factory intelligence.

Of course, the news of this dossier did not explain anything in detail, but it was only because it involved the jade pendant presented by Chu Yi to represent his identity, and this was reported by the person in charge of the East Factory stronghold in Huayin County. , it is impossible for such trivial things to be sent to Chu Yi.

Looking at the file, Chu Yi couldn't help showing a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said softly, "It's really interesting, how long has it been, and Yue Buqun has already used that jade pendant."

That jade pendant represents Chu Yi's identity, and it is enough to mobilize people up and down the Dongchang stronghold in Huayin County for its use, and even through the people of Dongchang, it can also mobilize the local guards, so the use of that jade pendant can be great. can be small.

Chu Yi didn't know what the specific situation was, but since Yue Buqun had used that jade pendant, it meant that Yue Buqun had already had an affair with Dongchang, and it would not be so easy to get rid of it.

Putting the dossier aside, Chu Yi gave some instructions, just need to focus on it. If there is any major event, the people below will naturally report it.

After a while, Chu Yi looked at another dossier and was slightly surprised. This dossier was about Yang Tinghe.

Although Yang Tinghe stated that he was coerced by Lu Wenyang and had to play the banner of Qing Jun together with him, the emperor was also furious and sent Jinyiwei to take Yang Tinghe's relatives.

Yang Tinghe didn't have many relatives, and Chu Yi was not very familiar with it, but Chu Yi had a good impression of Yang Shen at the beginning.

Obviously, Yang Shen, who was preparing for the next autumn examination after returning to Beijing, was inexplicably sent to prison because of Yang Tinghe.

Because Yang Tinghe disappeared without a trace, the emperor could not find Yang Tinghe, so Yang Tinghe's relatives were naturally implicated, and he was ordered by the emperor to be tried together with Lu Wenyang and others.

Maybe Yang Shen and others don't know what Yang Tinghe did, but in today's era, family, family, one person commits a crime, and the whole family is implicated, this is the iron rule of this era.

Even if you are blessed by it, you will have to suffer its evil consequences. Above this case are some opinions on how to deal with Yang Tinghe's relatives.

Chu Yi glanced over and found that Yang Shen was imprisoned in the secret prison of the East Factory. Although he was a little surprised, he thought that the Ministry of Punishment, Jinyiwei, and the East Factory were all overcrowded recently, and the people captured by Jinyiwei were thrown into the secret prison of the East Factory. Not surprisingly.

If this was the case in the past, Jinyiwei and Dongchang would not deal with each other and were hostile to each other. Naturally, such a thing could not happen, but now both Jinyiwei and Dongchang are used by Chu Yi, so the relationship between the two has naturally eased a lot.

Putting the file down, while he was pondering, he saw Cao Shaoqin walk in and bow to Chu Yi. In Cao Shaoqin's hand, a brocade box was held in his hand and placed on the table, and he said, "Master, this is the servant who raided the house earlier. At that time, some ancient sages’ handwritten classics that were not copied from the homes of the civil servants, the Governor has always liked these classics, so the slaves collected some and presented them to the Governor.”

Chu Yi smiled slightly, opened the brocade box, and swept his eyes. There were more than a dozen books in the brocade box, and Chu Yi said to Cao Shaoqin with a bit of satisfaction on his face: "You really have a heart! There is no way to use any means. Take it by force!"

Cao Shaoqin hurriedly said: "Explain the income from the raiding of the house, how the slaves dare to violate the rules of the governor to do such things by force and plunder."

Chu Yi nodded and said, "Very good!"

Glancing at Cao Shaoqin, Chu Yi looked at Cao Shaoqin for a while and said, "Cao Shaoqin, the Governor has decided to hand over this East Factory to you after a while. I wonder if you have any ideas?"

With a thud, Cao Shaoqin knelt down in front of Chu Yi in surprise and joy, and said very respectfully, "He De and He Neng, the slave and maid, everything is obeyed by the Governor, and I swear allegiance to the Governor!"

Cao Shaoqin is not worried about whether Chu Yi is testing him. After all, everyone knows that with Chu Yi's current power, he is in charge of the Sili Supervisor and the Imperial Horse Supervisor. The supervisor of the East Factory is no longer his main concern. Sooner or later, he will choose his confidant. East factory to the other side.

Obviously, among people like Cao Shaoqin, Chu Fang, and Wang Zheng, Cao Shaoqin is the most suitable to replace Chu Yi in charge of the East Factory.

Cao Shaoqin's ability has always been good, and he is loyal to Chu Yi, so it is no surprise that Chu Yi will definitely hand over the Dongchang to Cao Shaoqin.

Of course, if Chu Yi didn't take the initiative to bring it up, no one else would mention it, including the Son of Heaven.

Now that Chu Yi said this, it was obvious that he had already considered it. How could this not make Cao Shaoqin excited?

With a wave of his hand, Chu Yi got up and said to Cao Shaoqin, "Okay, when the time is right, the governor will report to the son of tomorrow, and you will lead the East Factory in Jiashi!"

Respectfully kowtow to Chu Yi, Cao Shaoqin said to Chu Yi, "Thank you, my servant, the governor!"

Chu Yi walked to Cao Shaoqin's side and said, "Let's go with the Governor to see Yang Shen."

Of course, Cao Shaoqin is no stranger to Yang Shen. Back then, in Songyang Academy, only Yang Shen could give him a good look. Later, he traveled all the way to the south of the Yangtze River. How could Cao Shaoqin not know that his governor still valued Yang Shen very much.

Because of this, when Yang Shen was imprisoned in the secret prison, Cao Shaoqin specially ordered him to take extra care of Yang Shen.

"Master, come with me!"

For Cao Shaoqin to know where Yang Shen is being held, Chu Yi is not surprised at all. Now he has gradually let go of the East Factory. In fact, most of the things in the East Factory are now handled by Cao Shaoqin. If the people he values ​​can't remember, then Cao Shaoqin is afraid that it is impossible to get to where he is today.

In the dark prison, just walking into the secret prison, there is a gloomy feeling around.

Of course, on the one hand, because the secret prison is underground, on the other hand, it is the atmosphere and psychological hints, so the secret prison feels very eerie and terrifying.

Weeping, mourning, and begging for mercy could be heard vaguely, echoing in the almost sealed space underground, giving people the feeling that they were walking into hell.

Even if Chu Yi has restraints on the East Factory, after all, the violent intelligence agency is a violent intelligence agency, and it is impossible to turn the East Factory into a good hall.

It is not uncommon for things such as torture to extract confessions and torture, even if Chu Yi wants to control it. Really lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame.

When the water is clear, there are no fish. It is the same everywhere. Whether it is officialdom or violent institutions such as Dongchang, Chu Yi is only a person, not an omnipotent god, who can restrain Dongchang to a certain extent. It is not bad that the factory does not harm the people.

As for whether those lords and dignitaries were wronged when they fell into the hands of Dongchang, Chu Yi couldn't control that much.

A much cleaner cell appeared in front of Chu Yi, and the surroundings were much cleaner. A figure was sitting cross-legged on the straw in the cell, and the whole person looked much thinner.

Seemingly noticing the footsteps, Yang Shen, who was sitting there, slowly raised his head. When he saw Chu Yi, a light flashed in Yang Shen's eyes, and then a wry smile spread from his face, and he heard Yang Shen. Looking at Chu Yi with a hoarse voice, he said, "The day I never wanted to see you again, it turned out to be under such circumstances!"

Cao Shaoqin gestured, and the jailer hurried forward to open the cell door. Cao Shaoqin moved a chair into the cell, and Chu Yi walked into the cell and took off the cloak and handed it to Cao Shaoqin.

Cao Shaoqin took the cloak and stepped aside, leaving the space for Chu Yi and Yang Shen.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Chu Yi glanced at Yang Shen and said to Cao Shaoqin, "Prepare the food and drink, and the Governor will have a drink with Brother Yang!"

Soon the tables and chairs were set up, a cup of tea, a few rich side dishes and delicious wine were prepared, Chu Yi said to Yang Shen, "Brother Yang, please!"

Yang Shen laughed and didn't mind that he was a prisoner. He just sat opposite Chu Yi, first drank the glass of water and wine in front of him, and then said happily, "Good wine!"

Chu Yi looked at Yang Shen. From the expression on Yang Shen's face, he could see that Yang Shen really had no fear of the future. In fact, with Yang Shen's intelligence, he should have been very clear that the moment the whole family was taken down. Since then, it can be said that their Yang family has been completely helpless.

When the news came, the people of the Yang family tried to leave the capital. At that time, Yang Shen knew that they couldn't get out at all. As expected, before they left the house, everyone was blocked by Dongchang Fanzi. After arriving in the mansion, Jin Yiwei, who was sent by the emperor's decree, arrived late.

If there is no Dongchang Fanzi suddenly appearing to stop them, maybe they really may have left the capital in one step.

In the end, all this was destroyed by the Dongchang Fanzi.

According to convention, when the generals go out on expeditions, their family members will stay in the capital as hostages, so that the ruler and his ministers can be at peace with each other.

As the chief assistant, Yang Tinghe's identity is not necessarily worse than that of the generals leading the troops. In addition, Dongchang has been staring at Yang's house, so when there is a change in the Yang family, the people of the Dongchang decisively stopped everyone in the Yang family. .

From this point of view, in fact, Yang Shen and other members of the Yang family should hate Chu Yi.

But from Yang Shen's body, Chu Yi didn't feel that Yang Shen hated him at all, on the contrary, it was like drinking from the same friend.

Yang Shen grabbed the jug beside him and filled it with water and wine, and at the same time filled Chu Yi, raised his head, and brushed his messy hair away so as not to obstruct his vision, revealing that slightly thin face, but a pair of His eyes were embarrassed and he looked at Chu Yi and said, "Yang knew that the Governor would come to see me!"

Chu Yi chuckled and said, "Oh? Brother Yang, why did you guess that Yang would come to see you?"
