"The country is righteous, and the cement is easy to use! The country is righteous and the cement is easy to use......"

Listening to the shouts of the fast rider and watching the fast ride go in the direction of the Forbidden City, the crowd waited before they reacted.

I heard the strong man scratch his head, and asked Lan Tianbao with a puzzled face: "What does this mean, why can't I understand it?" ”

"yes, what kind of mud is this cement?" Other people are also puzzled.

"Guogong Gaoyi, who is this Guogong?"

“……”

Although there are many Guogong in the Ming Dynasty, Lan Tianbao instinctively thinks that the Guogong in his mouth just now must be Xingguogong! As for what kind of mud cement is, I really don't know! And this mud is easy to use, what does it have to do with the righteousness of the country?

Seriously, Lan Tianbao couldn't answer, so he said lightly: "There's no need to rush this matter, we can know the truth in two days!" ”

The rest of the people who heard it were like them, they didn't understand what glass was, cement or something.

But they could feel that this should be a good thing, after all, they were here to report good news to the emperor!

So, they all waited curiously for the official announcement from the imperial court.

………………

In the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen was discussing with Zhang Mingwei in the Wenhua Palace, and the news came.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the first one to report the news to quickly present the glass he brought.

Before it was presented, of course, it was not a package on the back, but a tray with several pieces of glassware and a red cloth on top.

Wang Chengen knew what was going on from beginning to end, so he personally took it from the hand of the chamberlain and presented it to the emperor with a smile.

Under the expectation of the courtiers, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't wait to uncover the red cloth, and then looked at the glassware like looking at it, and carefully picked up one and looked at it: "Well, yes, yes, this is the same as the glass crystal cup that the Western monk paid tribute to!" ”

After saying that, he carefully put it down again, then picked up the other one and said, "Is this a glass lens?" Yes, you can! ”

…………

After looking at it for a while, Emperor Chongzhen remembered something, and hurriedly instructed Wang Chengen: "Come on, come on, bring it down to all the Qings." ”

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly turned his head to look at Zhang Mingwei and said, "Sir, how about you take a look?" ”

"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen responded happily, and then carefully picked up the tray and brought it to the civil officials below.

Emperor Chongzhen was in a good mood, and then went to watch the prince's recital sent together.

Glasses and these things have only been seen by a few upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty, or the powerful southern ones with developed commerce. After all, the Ming Dynasty didn't have this, and it was all brought by Western missionaries. What Daming has here is crystal. Crystals are notoriously expensive.

The people who discussed in the Wenhua Hall were all recommended by Zhang Mingwei, and they were promoted to the top of the throne at once. Some have seen it, some have not. At this time, they were all surprised to see these glassware that Zhu Cihong had specially selected and sent.

Min Hongxue, the secretary of the military department, was the most knowledgeable, holding a glass and saying: "Your Majesty, it is said that this thing was originally only produced in the West, and it was very expensive. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can make it, and there should be many rich people in the south who will rush to buy it! ”

"Guogong, please see, this thing is crystal clear, if the literati gather, drink wine and admire the moon with this thing, etc., it should be very popular!" Liu Zongzhou, the imperial history of the left capital who was standing next to Zhang Mingwei, also said to Zhang Mingwei with a smile.

Hearing this, recommended by Zhang Mingwei, not only was he spared imprisonment, but Fang Yuegong, the former prefect of Songjiang, who was also promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, also nodded and agreed: "Guogong may not know that this thing is in demand in the south, and even those famous Fengyue places are also used to entertain rich guests. ”

Zhang Mingwei listened to their introduction, and didn't care, and nodded casually in response.

When Fang Yuegong saw it, he thought he didn't believe it, so he emphasized again: "What the lower official said is true. The prince's method of building this is really a treasure plate, but I don't know how much it costs? ”

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen had already finished reading the prince's recital, and when he raised his head happily and was about to speak, he happened to hear Fang Yuegong's words, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and then said with a smile: "Fang Qing doesn't know that this glass manufacturing method was created by Mr. ”

"......" Fang Yuegong was a little stupid when he heard this, and then saw that the other colleagues were looking at him with a smile, and suddenly made a big red face.

But he was also free and easy, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly saluted Zhang Mingwei and said: "I see, disrespectful!" ”

When Zhang Mingwei saw it, he smiled and said: "The manufacturing cost of this glass is actually very low, and now it can be sold for money to supply the imperial court, and the most important thing is that there are many uses for this glass, all of which are for the benefit of the people." ”

The matter about glass has been said once before, that is, Fang Yuegong entered the morning and did not catch up. Everyone else knew, and they all laughed one by one, and they didn't know whether they were laughing at Fang Yuegong or happy that the glass had been fired.

However, Min Hong's school age was there, and Lao Cheng was serious, so he explained to Fang Yuegong: "Guogong presented two treasure plates to the imperial court, one of which is this glass making method. In this way, the tax revenue north of the Yangtze River will remain in the local area, and the imperial court will also have a source of money, so as not to delay major events. ”

Hearing this, Fang Yuegong couldn't help but be surprised, this glass thing, he knew how expensive it was, but he didn't expect it to be offered by Guogong, and there was a good thing comparable to glass, and Guogong was also dedicated to the imperial court?

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but be very emotional, and turned his head to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen came from Jiangnan, and what he heard along the way, he found that there were many complaints about Guogong in the local area......

"But Mr. can only raid the house, is he a cool official?" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was not surprised at all, and asked directly.

Folk rumors are now collected on Jinyiwei's side, and the news about Xingguo Gong will naturally be even more concerned. Zhu Yujiao, as Zhang Mingwei's side, of course knew about this, and she had already told her father.

As soon as Fang Yuegong heard that the emperor knew, he immediately nodded and replied: "Your Majesty is wise, and Weichen thinks that he should return justice to the prince." ”

"What Fang Qing said is extremely true!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled and said, "There is one person who is about to be angry, I must be the master and give justice to the prince, I have already agreed!" Now that this glass has come out, it is naturally time to announce it! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Mingwei naturally knew that the person Emperor Chongzhen said was Zhu Yujiao. When she saw the news, she was very angry and said that she would sue the royal court.

When Fang Yuegong heard this, he couldn't help but be very curious, and wanted to ask who it was, but what the emperor was going to say just now had already been said. Since he didn't say it, he probably didn't want to say it, so he had to hold back and not ask.

But this is not a good question, which does not prevent him from asking another thing curiously: "I don't know what the other treasure plate presented by the Guogong is?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen listened to it and was about to answer when suddenly there was movement outside the hall, but it was the concert that Zuo Yingxuan, the governor of Shanyong, had arrived. The chamberlain turned the recital and came up, and naturally said the theme word: "The country is righteous and the cement is easy to use!" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Look, just as you are talking, this piece has arrived." ”

The premise that the method of cement firing should be announced to the world is to first prove that the cement is indeed as described. The governor of Shanyong was the first to burn cement according to Zhang Mingwei's words and use it to build the defense line of the Great Wall. If he uses all the words that are good first, that is the best commentary.

As soon as Fang Yuegong heard it, he knew that this cement, which he didn't know what it was, was probably another treasure plate offered by Guogong!

Sure enough, after Emperor Chongzhen heard the concerto, he ignored his image as an emperor, and immediately laughed and said: "Zuo Qing's recital said that this cement is really as effective as Mr. said, and it is very easy to use." He estimated in the recital that the Great Wall defense line would be completed within a month. At least a month earlier than originally expected. The most important thing is that it can save a lot of manpower and material resources! ”

When the ministers heard this, they congratulated Emperor Chongzhen one after another.

And Emperor Chongzhen stepped down from the throne, came to Zhang Mingwei, smiled, and said with emotion: "Everyone in the world will only steal people's property, and I will return Mr. justice tomorrow." ”

"Actually, I didn't care!" When Zhang Mingwei heard this, he just smiled and said, "Do things well with your heart, and after a long time, the world will naturally know." ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "If I don't do it, some people won't agree, and they will blame me!" ”

As soon as they heard this, several people in the palace knew who the emperor was talking about. After all, there are people around Guogong, and after a long time, they naturally know.

Subsequently, Emperor Chongzhen summoned the general political envoy and asked him to issue a newspaper to announce the world, as for the content of the newspaper, Princess Kunxing had already prepared, but it was only transferred by Emperor Chongzhen to the general political envoy.

This kind of thing can also curry favor with the powerful Xingguo Gong, and the political envoy is naturally very happy.

So, after he went back, he immediately rushed to work, printed and distributed the sample of the palace newspaper given by Emperor Chongzhen, distributed it to the yamen of the Beijing Division, and quickly rode to the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty.

In this newspaper, it was announced that the Xingguo Gong had presented the method of making glass and cement to the imperial court, as well as the uses of glass and cement, all of which were listed in detail. In addition, there is also the specific process ratio of cement, and the original publication of the recital of Zuo Yingxuan as evidence.

Even the gossip was given a message in this newspaper, that is, the Central Plains Wubai in "Ming Pao" is actually the number of Xingguo Gong, also called a pen name.

Needless to say, when this official newspaper was issued, it first caused a sensation in Beijing.
