After Yuhuatian led five hundred brocade guards and Yue Fei away, Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhao Shizhen: "Zhao Shizhen, you are a rare talent in my Ming Dynasty, but it's a pity that I didn't meet Bole, and I will be your Bole today." ”

Zhao Shizhen, who has not been reused in his life, is excited when he hears the emperor say this now, it seems that the emperor wants to reuse him, and immediately knelt on the ground:

"Emperor Xie, Zhao Shizhen will definitely be a fool of Daming, even if he exhausts his last strength, he will never fail the saint and Daming."

Zhao Shizhen is a god-level craftsman, what does the craftsman care about the most?

What they care about most is not their official position, but being reused and believed by their superiors.

Only when they fully believe in them can they have the opportunity to display their talents to the fullest.

Zhu Youzhen stretched out his hand to help Zhao Shizhen up, and said with anticipation:

"I will appoint you as the squire of the Ministry of Works, and you must give full play to your talents, as long as you can make good firearms, and ask for money and people to give people.

Now that you are a squire of the Ministry of Works, you have the right to choose what kind of person you use, no matter what the preliminary work is, what I want is the result. ”

Thanksgiving, only these words can describe Zhao Shizhen's mood at this time, in his previous life, in order to study firearms, he exhausted his family property, and was coldly looked at by others.

As a result, after arriving at Zhu Youzhen, not only did the emperor personally receive him, but also strongly supported him, and when he came up, he was given a position as a waiter in the Ministry of Works, which was a member of the court.

Zhao Shizhen crawled on the ground excitedly and kowtowed again and again:

"Zhao Shizhen thanks Lord Longen, the emperor, just wait and see, Weichen will definitely not let you down, if you can't make a good firearm, Zhao Shizhen will commit suicide and apologize."

As a traverser, Zhu Youzhen certainly knew his ability, and smiled slightly to help this Da Ming Fire Engineer up:

"Okay, I believe you, I will report to the Ministry of Industry tomorrow, and temporarily allocate 1 million taels of silver to you to build a factory and research and development funds, if you encounter any problems or difficulties, come directly to me."

"Thank the Emperor for your grace."

In this way, Zhu Youzhen not only had everyone who developed firearms, but also established a Daming firearms development and manufacturing factory by the way, and Zhu Youzhen also gave Zhao Shizhen the firearms research and development skills and smelting skills booked by the system.

Although they are all low-level skill books, they were already very advanced at the time of the Ming Dynasty.

He gave Zhao Shizhen enough space, power and freedom, as long as he had the ability, even if he broke the sky, Zhu Youzhen would help him carry it.

After Zhao Shizhen retired, Zhu Youzhen picked up another manuscript, which he personally drafted, mainly on land distribution and commercial trade issues.

Because of war, plague, famine and other reasons, the population of the Ming Dynasty has shrunk greatly, and it stands to reason that there will be a lot of land to be vacant, and people should be allocated a lot of fields.

However, the actual situation was very different from what people expected, and almost all the good land was occupied by rich merchants, officials, and nobles.

The same is true in terms of commerce and trade, minerals, sea salt, etc., are controlled by those noble and wealthy merchants.

Although these are state-owned assets, they are almost swallowed up, and the annual tax revenue is pitiful.

The taxes of the entire Ming Dynasty were pressed on the heads of the common people, but they planted some barren land, how could they not rebel.

Land reform is very urgent, otherwise, Zhu Youzhen's little silver will soon be exhausted.

With the recovery of the northern parts of the country, the people there not only suffered extreme famine, but also faced a great threat of plague.

Many, many things are placed in front of Zhu Youzhen, but there is no way to solve them all at once, so they can only come the same.

"Ah Qing, let Jinyi Wei pass on the household department Shangshu Ni Yuanlu to see me."

"Obedience"

Zhu Youzhen put down the draft, picked up the teacup, and waited for the arrival of the Hubu Shangshu.

At the time of a stick of incense, Ni Yuanlu, the head of the household, hurriedly walked into the imperial study:

"Weichen Ni Yuanlu see Your Majesty."

"Excuse me, take a seat"

When Zhu Youzhen summoned ministers alone, he would ask them to sit down and talk.

But the ministers hardly dared to sit on it, and most of them only had a little chair on their buttocks, and they didn't dare to sit down at all.

This way of sitting is more uncomfortable than not sitting, but not listening is also resistance.

Before Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, those important ministers would not be like this at all, and even some emperors were too much, and they could drown at any time.

Today's situation has reversed, and it is no longer the Donglin Party Wenchen who is in charge, and the status of the military generals has been on an equal footing with them.

Some military generals in important positions have a higher status, such as Sun Chuanting, Qi Jiguang, etc., which are far from being comparable to their civilian officials.

Da Ming Wenchen has been fighting infighting for so many years, and Zhu Youzhen is temporarily quiet.

If anyone dares to impeach the military generals of Shouguan casually without evidence, Zhu Youzhen will let him immediately lose his official position and resign.

Zhu Youzhen looked at Ni Yuanlu, the head of the household department:

"Hubu, are the land, shops and population statistics of Jingshi good?"

Ni Yuanlu hurriedly reported truthfully:

"Back to the emperor, it is now all registered."

Zhu Youzhen nodded and handed the manuscript to Ni Yuanlu:

"Look at this, if you are asked to do it, how difficult will it be?"

"Obey the Order"

Ni Yuanlu hurriedly took the manuscript and looked at it carefully.

As he lifted the manuscript one by one, the sweat on Ni Yuanlu's forehead began to drip down, and his body trembled a little.

Until he trembled and read the entire manuscript, Ni Yuanlu knelt in front of Zhu Youzhen with a plop:

"Your Majesty, this is very difficult, our household department can't do it at all, I hope the emperor will think twice......"

Zhu Youzhen looked at the book of the household department, and said angrily:

"Ni Yuanlu, I came to ask you, whose household department is it, whose subjects are the ministers of civil and military affairs, the nobles of the country, and even the princes?"

Ni Yuanlu kowtowed again and again:

"Your Majesty, the household department is your household department, and the ministers of civil and military affairs, the noble princes, are all your subordinates......"

Ni Yuanlu didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked such a mentally retarded question, but he couldn't help but answer.

Zhu Youzhen said coldly:

"Ni Yuanlu, the answer is wrong."

"The household department is not my household department, you are the household department of the Ming Dynasty, those civil and military ministers and noble princes are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty, I am the Son of Heaven, and I govern the Ming Dynasty on behalf of God.

Daming is not my Daming, nor is it anyone's Daming, Daming is the Ming of the people of the whole country, whether it is Xungui or the prince, they are all the same as the people, they are all people.

If there are no common people, who will feed you, will you go to farming, fishing, drying sea salt, digging mines, and fighting with weapons?

They take the state's money, eat the grain grown by the common people, and occupy the land of the common people.

When my Ming Dynasty was in danger, those noble princes' families were like mountains of gold and silver, where were they at that time, and what contributions did they make to my Ming Dynasty?

The manuscript will be printed and distributed overnight, and announced to the world the next day. “

Ni Yuanlu's face was red when he was refuted by Zhu Youzhen's words, but he always felt that it was still inappropriate, it was too appalling to do so, and this had never happened in history.

"Your Majesty, but ......"

"Ni Yuanlu, I tell you, there is nothing, if you feel that you are not capable of executing, I will immediately change people, and you will go home and farm."
