Chapter 413 Prepare to reform the palace system and the concubine is beaten

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The dark steam loom kept running, making the sound of metal parts colliding.

And streams of white water mist kept spraying out of the loom port in the sound of impact.

A young supervisor of Shanggong Supervisor personally added coal to the machine's mouth. While adding coal, he also looked at the current elites in the mechanical field such as Emperors Zhu Youxiao, Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing, etc., regardless of sweat and still smiling.

The reason why this young prisoner smiled was because the emperor was here, and because he also made some contributions to this steam loom, he was rewarded with wealth and a medal that could be favored by His Majesty and personally awarded by the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao was also very happy.

He knew better than anyone else that the productivity revolution brought about by the successful development of this steam engine would have a great impact on the entire human civilization and would have caused many unpredictable changes such as the Ming Dynasty.

Historically, the West has mastered many theories of modern science ahead of schedule than the East, and has developed a strong ship and a powerful gun to open up the national door of China.

The scholars and officials at that time called it a major change that had not been seen in three thousand years.

Zhu Youxiao believes that such major changes are not necessarily caused by outsiders invading in this era.

Starting from the first steam engine that appeared in the Ming Dynasty, this major change will appear internally. Some scholars and officials who held Cheng and Zhu Neo-Confucianism would feel pain because of such major changes, and even made some unnecessary struggles or even some stupid behaviors, and then they would eventually be denounced as old antiques by later generations.

"As soon as this machine is released, the world will undergo a major change. It is incalculable how much the national strength of our Ming Dynasty will be strengthened and how rich the people will be. Even without me, we will not be able to go back to the past. The general situation has been achieved and we cannot stop it! Therefore, Zhu Yanxi hopes that God will let me die as soon as possible, which is useless and extremely ignorant. His knowledge is still at the level of changing a king to make the world safe."

After watching the successful operation of the steam loom, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but talk about the ruthless words of Zhu Yanxi when he was arrested to Xu Guangqi and other scholars who had the same ideas as him.

After hearing this, Xu Guangqi said, "Your Majesty misunderstood the name of the saint to protect the national constitution. As a minister, I am really impressed and angry at Zhu Yanxi's words. However, now Your Majesty says this, in my foolish opinion, it is very true. The general trend of the world cannot be done by manpower, nor can it be stopped by one person or a group of people. The way of this saint is not to be upheld by one person and not to be changed, flowing water does not corrupt, and the knowledge of the world governing the country is the same. It must keep pace with the times, and only by integrating practice can it be integrated. Your Majesty does not stick to the classics, and is willing to study the techniques of using the world with the ministers and have his own opinions. He is truly an emperor who can be supported by all people!"

"We need to keep pace with the times and integrate practice to understand it?"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi, a civil servant who belonged to the Ming Dynasty, in surprise.

Then, Zhu Youxiao suddenly made up his mind and said, "Issue the Imperial! Xu Aiqing will serve as the president of the "The Emperor's Hadith" in the future, and will edit and update the "The Emperor's Hadith" version for me so that the meat eaters in the world know how to keep pace with the times."

Xu Guangqi was stunned and was in shock, but then he understood the emperor's profound meaning and said excitedly: "I obey the order!"

At this time, Wei Zhongxian came: "Your Majesty, the eunuchs who rebelled with Liu Ruoyu have already examined some of them. The court officials involved include Feng Quan, Zuo Tongzheng Ji Menghuan, the young secretary He Wuzuo, and the Imperial College Priest Zhu Yanxi. Please check the emperor."

Wei Zhongxian said this and handed Wang Chengen a stack of confessions.

After taking the confession from Wang Chengen, Zhu Youxiao looked carefully. After reading it, he didn't say much, but said: "All the main culprits were arrested, and his family was also confiscated and imprisoned!"

"Abide by the order!"

Wei Zhongxian replied.

Xu Guangqi said, "Your Majesty, although these criminals who have made friends with their subordinates and even those who have made detailed crimes in the palace will be found out in the future. However, I think that I am afraid that many of these criminal clans will take risks and rebel against the court. Now, due to the new commercial tax collection and the prohibition of selling 0 prostitutes and prostitution, many families in the world have long been dissatisfied with each other. In addition, the Eastern Barbarians have not been completely wiped out, and Lin Dankhan in the north is eyeing him, and the Japanese and Western foreign countries in the south have all been resentful of the domineering technique that our Ming Dynasty has practiced for its own benefit in recent years. Therefore, I am worried that if I do not respond well in the future, there may be major unrest! At least I must avoid such unrest."

Then, Xu Guangqi said: "Not only do I have this concern, but all the auxiliary ministers of the Political Affairs Hall have this concern."

"The soldiers come and the generals stop them, and the water comes and the soil covers them!"

Zhu Youxiao replied directly to Xu Guangqi's words and said: "Although military force and militarism will consume national strength and people's wealth, as a great country, how can the Ming Dynasty not have no war for a day? Without war, it will not allow elite soldiers to have the opportunity to train. Want to never have any war, and let the horses go to Nanshan Mountain is just a fantasy. The world is not the same, the enemy is endless, and the worries will also be endless. All we rulers need to do is to make the system of military merit rewards more perfect, and make the soldiers willing to die for the country!"

"yes!"

Xu Guangqi replied.

...

Princess Le'an and other pioneers, as well as the guards Yulin Guards who were on duty in Damingyuan, were rewarded with great rewards in the future because of their contributions in protecting the horse.

Among them, Princess Le'an was promoted to Princess Baoning by Zhu Youxiao, and the salary was increased to the standard of 3,000 stones.

In order to make the children of the royal family work hard and enterprising, Zhu Youxiao also adjusted the virginity of the royal family, mainly because the princess has become three types, including county-level princess, government-level princesses, and national-level princesses.

The eighth sister of the emperor has been promoted from Princess Le'an to Princess Baoning.

However, Zhu Youxiao did not ask the officials to go to the princess's mansion to pass the imperial edict. He planned to go there in person, and by the way, he would take a look at his imperial sister, and by the way, he would solve a palace internal affairs that was urgently needed to be reformed.

Zhu Youxiao had been busy with internal reforms and external affairs before, and did not notice that some systems that were inhumane or even unreasonable in the palace needed to be reformed.

Now, Zhu Youxiao learned about some of the things about Princess Le'an and Prince Gong Yonggu through his new factory governor Wang Chengen, and suddenly thought of reforming some internal palace systems.

"Before this, Liu Ruoyu was in charge of the inner factory, so the emperor did not know the grievances that the princesses suffered. Now that I know, I naturally have to report to the emperor, so as to avoid the emperor's sister being bullied by the slaves below!"

Wang Chengen accompanied Zhu Youxiao to Princess Le'an's Mansion, and started talking to Zhu Youxiao on the way.

Zhu Youxiao said, "Liu Ruoyu is damn! He is only focused on his own interests and has no loyalty at all! Your report is timely, so I have the opportunity to clean up these evil slaves! They all seem to think that it is dark under the lamp and I can't see it, so I can do whatever I want, and no one can clean up them!"

Soon, Zhu Youxiao came to the Princess's Mansion, but he did not let the people from the Princess's Mansion go in and report it, but went in without reporting it.

As soon as he entered Princess Le'an's Mansion, Zhu Youxiao heard a roar and scolding of a nanny: "Who asked you to have a private meeting? How could there be such a shameless princess and princess consort like you? How could you dare to have a private meeting with me on my back? According to the rules, I have the right to let someone teach you a lesson! I beat me hard!"

"No beating! Madam, every time I want to summon the prince-consort, you ask for gold and silver, but that is rewarded by the emperor's brother. Even if you dare, I dare not give it to him! So, you will not let me meet the prince-consort. After we got married, we have not met for almost two years. Why are you so cruel? But most of my wealth is given to you! Now, the prince-consort is just secretly coming to see me. What's the matter? Do you whip him like this? Do you take my decent consideration for me?"

At this time, Princess Le'an's voice came.

But the nanny did not compromise because of this and just shouted: "Call me!"

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Soon a sound of board came.

Zhu Youxiao, standing outside the inner courtyard, listened to it sincerely.
