Chapter 150: Feasting on the World

In this way, Xu Guangqi was taken to the Tiangong workshop by Zhu Youxiao, and without any stop, he was directly carried by a carriage. There is no way, there are too many people over there, and someone is urgently needed to sort out the situation.

Although the Tiangong workshop covers a vast area, there are really not many people inside, and thousands of people here have passed, if it weren't for the Jinyi Guard to maintain it there, I'm afraid there would be some chaos. Moreover, there are all kinds of craftsmen in the palace, and they are sent over at the moment, mixed together, and they can't start their work at all.

Accompanying Xu Guangqi to the Tiangong workshop was the flintlock pistol that Zhu Youxing Tang John had obtained, which was exquisitely made and well-crafted, enough to be used as a sample of meritorious deeds. After giving the flintlock pistol to Xu Guangqi, he also gave an order by the way, asking Xu Guangqi to develop a new type of broken musket while integrating the resources of craftsmen.

Zhu Youxiao simply gave Xu Guangqi this relatively old-fashioned flintlock pistol, and did not explain to him what high-tech such as rear-loading rifling, and now he didn't have this time, he urgently needed a long-range attack method at the moment to correspond to the archers that the enemy would have in the future.

As for the traditional archer crossbowman, the weapon takes a long time to make, and the resulting cost is too high, and the training time of the user is long, and all kinds of maintenance are also troublesome, which is really not suitable for the war of increasing scale at this time.

Seeing Xu Guangqi away, Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief, although he was confident that with the technical information he mastered beyond the times, he would definitely be able to save Huaxia, but this time was to be determined. Proper employment and proper scheduling can greatly shorten this time.

Xu Guangqi has already arrived, and the next thing is Song Yingxing, this big cow, known as the ancient Newton, will also be sent over when the time comes, with these two people, the production part of the inner government in his structure is not to worry, and he only needs to formulate a system and divide it in detail.

He basically handed over the maintenance and supply of the Forbidden City to Wang Chengen, and the rest of the money, Zhu Youxiao planned to hand over to Wang Wenyan, who was about to enter Beijing.

The five-year operation of the Tiangong workshop made Zhu Youxiao completely dead, and he really had no talent for business, so he could only leave it to others.

Three days later, Wang Wenyan entered Beijing with a large bag, and as soon as he entered the capital, he went straight to the palace.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao was checking the place where the silver was stored inside, and he was overjoyed to see the boxes of fifty taels of gold ingots, so many silver taels, he could do a lot of things.

"The hospital is being relocated, and when all the people over there are gone, you will sign in the deposit there, and it will be used as a special bank in the future. There are also the proceeds of this raid, the jewelry and antiques were sold as soon as possible, and the calligraphy and paintings and other cultural relics were carefully screened and properly received in the treasure house. Zhu Youxiao looked at the belongings piled up everywhere and said to Wang Chengen again.

It turned out that the station of the Yulin Army was close to the Donghua Gate, and it was convenient to enter and exit, and the silver deposit in the inner house was destined to be unable to stay in the palace, so it was necessary to choose a convenient place.

At this time, the eunuch in Tsing Yi, who led Xu Guangqi last time, led Wang Wenyan over this time.

As soon as Wang Wenyan stepped into here, he was almost blinded by the silver shining in the candlelight, although he had operated a large number of valuable salt goods over the years, he had never seen so much silver, the white miserable, silver shining light, almost made him stare out of his eyes.

He stared blankly at the countless boxes on the shelves, his eyes instantly bloodshot red, and he almost drooled when he looked at the half-open boxes. There are not only the savings of the royal family of the past dynasties, but also the income from this raid, the top ministers and nobles, the wealthy, all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry are piled up at random, and the jewels are mixed, which makes people look at it and feel excited.

"Ahem!" Wang Wenyan's stunned appearance made the eunuch who led the way unable to stand it, and he coughed lightly to remind the other party that the saint was coming.

"What, what does Aiqing like?" Zhu Youshou came over and asked with a smile.

"No, no, no!!" Wang Wenyan shook his head again and again, looking terrified.

"Yellow and white things, everyone loves them, why not, as long as you take them in the right way." Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but say, grabbed a piece of crystal clear jade and stuffed it into Wang Wenyan's hand, and then asked Wang Chengen to wrap two hundred taels of silver. "This is a gift from me, and Mr. will be rewarded for five years of guarding, and Mr. must not refuse."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhu Youxiao said this, Wang Wenyan accepted it later, he was not a thrifty person, and when he first came to the capital at this moment, it was also the time when he needed money, and after a little push, he accepted it.

"Your Majesty, this time in Beijing, the grass people brought some information about the salt works and the construction team." Restraining his mood, Wang Wenyan said respectfully. He was still white at this time, so he called himself a grass man.

"Hmm." Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile, and was about to say something. It's just that before he could speak, he was preempted by Wang Wenyan.

"Your Majesty, the grass people have a word, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Wang Wenyan bent down and bowed deeply.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." The other party's solemn attitude made Zhu Youxiao feel that the next words were unusual, and he listened carefully with a straight face.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to hold back and leave the left." Wang Wenyan looked left and right and made a request.

Hearing this, Liu Ruoyu and Wang Chengen, who were beside them, raised their heads and looked over. Wang Wenyan was not afraid, but just looked at Zhu Youxiao with a firm look in his eyes.

"Stand down." Zhu Youxiao took a deep look at him, waved his hand and asked all the eunuchs around him to go out.

"The minions are gone." After many years of accumulation, none of the eunuchs spoke out to dissuade them, and they all retreated respectfully, leaving Zhu Youxiao and Wang Wenyan in the entire cellar where the silver taels were stored.

"Huh~" After the others went out, Wang Wenyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he risked angering the emperor to make a request. As soon as Pu met this time, he found that the emperor had almost changed, not only was he much more powerful, but he also invisibly revealed a domineering spirit that looked down on the world, and he was faintly extremely conceited, and he was not sure whether the emperor was willing to listen to his opinion.

Fortunately, the end result was not bad. %09

"Ahem!" Clearing his throat, Wang Wenyan looked serious, "Your Majesty wants to clarify the universe and reform the world, but the grass people are incapable of doing so, and they can't help, so they can only get the foolishness to help Your Majesty." ”

"For Your Majesty, the Red Pill Coup is the last calamity before the dragon is transformed, and once the calamity is over, it will become a help. Your Majesty should use the red pill as a blade to feast on the world, sweep away the demonic atmosphere, and pave the way for innovation. ”

As he spoke, Wang Wenyan's body straightened up, his eyes were sharp, and his words were like knives, which pierced Zhu Youxiao's heart deeply, making him feel shocked.

Wang Wenyan's rhetoric seems to be high-sounding and just, but after careful thinking and deep consideration, it is just a common means of political disputes, and to put it bluntly, it is not easy to finalize the Red Pill coup, and expand the scope of involvement, implicate those who he feels are obstacles, and crack down on them.

"This ......." Zhu Youxiao groaned, and for a while his thoughts were churning, and he couldn't help himself. In his previous life, he was just a small civil servant, at the bottom of the system, and he had nothing to do with any political struggles or anything like that. After the Red Pill Coup, he only thought about ending the case as soon as possible so that he could free up his energy to carry out his own innovation, and he never thought that he could use the Red Pill Coup to fight the enemy.

As the emperor, Zhu Youxiao has no enemies on the surface, but if he wants to reform, then all backward forces are his enemies, the noble kings who occupy the land, and the gentry and civil officials who evade taxes. Although this coup d'Γ©tat cannot be extended indefinitely, it is not a problem to eliminate a part of the enemy.

If you can follow this case and sweep away a large number of nobles and local gentry, you can get a large amount of land, and even some kings can be involved in it, such as the famous King Fu, this guy has a lot of land. With these lands, when natural disasters came, Zhu Youxiao was able to resettle a large number of people, so that they would not be displaced and become homeless.

Zhu Youxiao clearly knew that he was now in the period of the Xiaoice River, with cold temperatures, frequent natural disasters such as droughts and floods, and if there were no pacification measures for timely gain, even if his military development came up, if his internal affairs were in a mess and the displaced people were everywhere, he would definitely not be able to sustain it.

The resettlement of displaced people requires land, but the land is all in the hands of the bureaucrats, nobles, and kings, and it is impossible to take it without solving them. But now there is an opportunity on the spot - the Red Pill coup, and with just a few confessions, they can be easily taken down.

This idea suddenly made Zhu Youxiao's heart pound, it only takes a little effort to have a great gain, and there is no passivity in public opinion, this is the time when everyone is in danger, even if they know that some of the people involved are wronged, but who dares to beat the drum and cry out for grievances.

As long as you don't go too far, you will be guilty of a lighter crime, and you will just take away the land and property in their names, which must not be a big deal.

The only thing worth scrutinizing is that this method is a bit despicable, which makes Zhu Youxiao, who still has a sense of morality in his heart, a little uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, those who achieve great things are not informal!" Seeing Zhu Youxiao's hesitation and struggle, Wang Wenyan stepped forward and admonished, "Throughout the ages, the emperors of the ages have always killed people like hemp, and thousands of years later, what is contained in the history books is not the merit of the hero, and no one cares whether his hands are bloody." ”

"Black cats and white cats, if they catch mice, they are good cats." Zhu Youxiao muttered, his eyes gradually firm. The Ming Dynasty was decadent and Tang, and it was rotten to the roots from top to bottom, and a major purge was necessary. Since it is a great purge, these are things that will be involved sooner or later, and it is better to do it now than to become unknown when the time comes.
