After taking a look at Sun Yuanhua, Emperor Tianqi gave him an appreciative look. This man was really a talent. As for the time and expense mentioned by Sun Yuanhua, Emperor Tianqi could only agree. Although he felt that the time was a little long, that was all it could do now.

If the scale is increased, the annual cost will be more than five million taels.

It costs five million taels to build the ship, and other aspects of firearms will increase the court's expenses. It seems that the main job of Emperor Tianqi in the next few years is to make money. As for the reform of the system, we still have to wait! I don't know what it is.

At that time, I, the emperor, could follow his words.

After scanning everyone's faces, Emperor Tianqi's eyes fell on Xu Guangqi and said in a deep voice: "Xu Aiqing, Yuan Yingtai went to inspect the river engineering, and you are also doing the work of the Ministry of Works. Let's do this! Take advantage of this time

I took the opportunity to draw out some things that were overseen by the generals of the Ministry of Works. For example, I went to the firearms factory where the manufacture of firearms and ordnance was allotted, and all the craftsmen were brought there."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Xu Guangqi said respectfully after saluting Emperor Tianqi, but there was no joy at all on his face. Instead, his brows were furrowed tightly.

Smiling and nodding, Emperor Tianqi said to Xu Guangqi: "Aiqing, you don't have to be like this. You just do your thing. Those people don't dare to stop you. But remember, Aiqing, what you have to do is to accept the general's supervision."

Firearms Factory, as for other people and things, I don’t want to interfere with you."

After hearing Emperor Tianqi's words, Xu Guangqi was slightly startled, obviously not expecting Emperor Tianqi to say that. He suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and pondered for a moment to think about what to say.

Seeing that Xu Guangqi was about to speak again, Emperor Tianqi waved his hand gently and said in a deep voice: "Xu Aiqing, I know who and what kind of officials are the officials of the Ming Dynasty. I also know what kind of people should be officials. Some of them are.

Things still have to wait, it’s not possible if we don’t have enough time.”

Xu Guangqi was stunned for a moment, and after a tremor, he didn't say anything, and the expression on his face became much better. After bowing to Emperor Tianqi, Xu Guangqi said respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise, I have been worrying too much!"

"I love you, I am loyal to the country, and you have to worry about state affairs. What's the crime? If you do this, I will only be very happy." Emperor Tianqi looked at Xu Guangqi and said with a smile.

Regarding the generals and supervisors of the Ministry of Industry, Emperor Tianqi knew very well that the water there was not shallow. He was in charge of the country's firearms casting, and most of the weapons and armor had a lot of oil and water in them! There was a lot involved here.

There are also many officials. If we do an inventory, we don’t know how many people would have died here.

Naturally, Xu Guangqi didn't want to let these people go. These are the worms of the country and must be severely punished. Now that Emperor Tianqi said that the time has not come yet, it seems that the emperor has a plan in mind, so Xu Guangqi naturally won't say anything.

Several people reported the detailed details to Emperor Tianqi. Emperor Tianqi also asked a few questions he wanted to know. It seemed that they felt that it was almost done, so they said goodbye and left.

"Your Majesty, there is a report from Longchang Company!" Several people left. Wang Chengen quickly came to Emperor Tianqi's side and said respectfully.

He nodded slightly. Emperor Tianqi looked at Wang Chengen and said: "The only ones who know about the relationship between Longchang Company and Longchang Company in the palace are you and Chen Hong. Who is in charge of Longchang Company now?"

"Back to the emperor, the man responsible for the palace is called Chen Huan, and he is the nephew of Chen Hong and Eunuch Chen." Wang Chengen looked at Emperor Tianqi carefully and said softly.

Emperor Tianqi's expression did not change. Chen Hong had discussed this matter with Emperor Tianqi. Although there was the Fang family in Longchang Company, there were many people who had left Dongchang and Jinyiwei privately. These people also needed someone to take charge of them.

Well, the person in charge now is Chen Hong's nephew Chen Huan.

Taking what Wang Chengen handed over, Emperor Tianqi opened it gently and looked at it. It only mentioned the affairs of Longchang Company in Zhangjiakou. Now the entire trade in Zhangjiakou has been monopolized by Longchang Company. There are also many merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi.

After I came to my door, my business was gradually on track.

Looking back at the location where Longchang Company is distributed, it is now near Beijing and Zhangjiakou, which has made Longchang Company very eye-catching. It seems that it will have to keep a low profile from now on, slowly increasing its manpower, and slowly penetrating.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Emperor Tianqi slowly fell into deep thought. When Wang Chengen on the side saw this scene, he bowed and retreated. This was not the first time, and he was naturally experienced.

Fengyang Prefecture, Lingbi County, County Government.

There are only two people sitting in the hall, one is Hedao imperial envoy Zuo Liangyu, and the other is disaster relief imperial envoy Yuan Yingtai sent by the imperial court. As for Fengyang prefecture, he has gone back, the disaster situation has stabilized, and there are still many things in the mansion that he

You can't stay here forever.

The magistrate of Lingbi County and two imperial envoys were responsible for the disaster relief work, but he did not do much here.

"Master Zuo, what's going on there?" Yuan Yingtai asked in a deep voice after glancing at Zuo Guangdou. He knew about Zuo Guangdou. When he was transferred to the capital, Zuo Guangdou went to Liaodong. But Yuan Yingtai also

Unexpectedly, this person would come back so soon. However, everyone knew that Emperor Tianqi valued Zuo Guangdou, and Yuan Yingtai also knew it.

Glancing at Yuan Yingtai, Zuo Guangdou said in a deep voice: "Master Yuan, I have almost done the inspection here. There is no problem with the original river. Because there is siltation in the original river, it will be better if it is cleaned up properly.

Fertile farmland. I took a look and found that it is about 50,000 acres, which should be enough to make up for the flooded fields of the people."

After listening to Zuo Guangdou's words, Yuan Yingtai nodded slowly, obviously very satisfied. In fact, Yuan Yingtai was quite disapproving of Zuo Guangdou at first. He is a very capable person, but in his opinion, Zuo Guangdou is

Things are mediocre.

However, after getting along with each other for the past few days, Yuan Yingtai's impression of Zuo Guangdou has changed a lot, and he feels that he has met Zuo Guangdou so late. Whether it is Zuo Guangdou's management of rivers or his opinions on people's views on being an official, Yuan Yingtai

They all feel that they get along well with each other.

After pondering for a while, Yuan Yingtai said in a deep voice: "In this case, let's write to the emperor! As the disaster relief work here continues to be arranged, what we need to focus on is the new river channel and the river banks on both sides."

Zuo Guangdou also nodded in agreement. After several years of investigation, both of them found that the disaster was not as serious as it seemed. However, the county seat was flooded, and reconstruction may be troublesome in the future, but compared to river management, these are easier tasks.

Give the local officials a headache!

The two of them studied the details, and after repeated deliberation, Yuan Yingtai wrote it, Zuo Guangdou signed it, and a memorial was completed.

The General Affairs Department is located outside the east gate of the Forbidden City. This is an inconspicuous yamen, but no one dares to underestimate this place. The General Affairs Department is a yamen that civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty must know.

Complaints are commonly known as banks.

A fast horse came to the door of the General Affairs Department. After holding the horse, the man quickly got off the horse. After handing the horse to the gatekeeper, he strode inside. The gatekeeper saw the man wearing

The Liaodong military uniforms did not stop him.

The General Affairs Department is different from other yamen. Other yamen may need some help, otherwise the disciples will make things difficult for you, but the General Affairs Department is different. What kind of department is Wulu? No one dares to do this. Those who come to the General Affairs Department

People are all trying to pass things up, who knows which one is important. If an important event is delayed because of me, me will not be able to afford it.

The person who just arrived seems to be from Liaodong. Who knows what news such a person brings? If it is the military information of Liaodong, whoever stops him will die!

"Sir, this is the memorial from Mr. Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong. It is very important. Please transfer it to the cabinet as soon as possible!" The soldier came to a governor, bowed respectfully, and handed a memorial to him.

Taking the memorial carefully, the governor said with a serious face: "Don't worry, I'll send it to you in a moment!" No one dared to delay the memorial from the Governor of Liaodong, not even the general envoy of the General Affairs Department, let alone a small eighth-rank official.

Governor.

The General Affairs Department is not far from the cabinet. As long as you enter the east gate of the Forbidden City, you can see the cabinet duty room. The governor quickly walked into the cabinet with the memorial, but did not dare to look left or right, because all the Han generals standing guard were staring at him.

Hold him.

Quickly walking to Liu Yijing's side, Han Kuang looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he whispered in Liu Yijing's ear: "Mr. Liu, there is a memorial here for you to read!"

Seeing Han Kuang's serious expression, Liu Yijing was stunned. Normally, everyone would draft memorials individually, and would only hand them over to him if they were unsure about them. However, no one was as cautious as Han Kuang and took the memorial.

After the memorial, Liu Yijing slowly opened it and watched.

Soon Liu Yijing's hands began to tremble, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. It took a long time for Liu Yijing to put down the memorial. Glancing at Han Kuang, Liu Yijing smiled bitterly and said, "This Xiong Tingbi is really dishonest.

This is another big thing.”

Han Kuang snorted coldly and said rather disdainfully: "If you read the book of sages, you will act like a reckless man. The face of the sage will be completely disgraced by him."

Liu Yijing was slightly startled, but just smiled noncommittally. He knew what Han Kuang was thinking. The Donglin Party incident started because of Xiong Tingbi, so he naturally had no good impression of Xiong Tingbi. However, Liu Yijing felt in his heart

It's a sinking, I'm afraid this time it will implicate myself and others!

The emperor did not blame himself and others for the Donglin Party incident, but Liu Yijing felt very uneasy. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "Let's go to the palace to see the emperor! We have to deal with this matter.

I can’t be the master!”

"The Emperor will not agree to this matter. Xiong Tingbi is seeking his own death!" Han Kuang smiled coldly with disdain on his face, but he did not see the worry on Liu Yijing's face. (To be continued.
