Chapter 150: Restart the Zunhua Iron Works

If only it were a living mud.

Won't Zhu Qizhen himself?

After so many years of being the emperor, Zhu Qizhen still has some pressure on how to make decisions in the face of major issues, but how to live in the mud, how to stay in the middle and not to send it, if he plays Tai Chi pusher, although Zhu Qizhen is not as cunning as Yang Pu.

But it's also very insightful.

It's just that he knows that these things won't solve anything.

Zhu Qizhen raised this issue today because both people and policies have inertia.

After Zhu Qizhen stepped down from the orthodox five-year Zhengdan edict, and then after Yang Shiqi stepped down, he reaffirmed the edict of Hebei water conservancy, and other edicts in various aspects, all of which illustrated a problem, that is, the construction of water conservancy in Hebei is the most important thing today.

But Wuxing's twists and turns illustrate one thing, that is, a considerable number of officials in the Ming Dynasty, regardless of the above orders, still live their previous days.

Their inertia means that the importance of water transportation is above the water conservancy of Hebei.

Zhu Qizhen said solemnly: "I have said several times that the control of water in Hebei is related to the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and the rise and fall of Beijing, which is the most important. Everything must make way for it, and Yu Qian did nothing wrong. Yu Qian is added to the title of Qincha, and he is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, so it is reasonable for Wu Xing to obey Yu Qian, and now he is the opposite, but he is his old minister, let alone pursue it, so that Pingxiang Bo Chen Yu fake Caoyun Chief Officer, Wu Xing returned to Beijing to resume his life. ”

When the three of them heard this, they were shocked. Although Yu Qian's Ministry of Industry is nominally above Wuxing, the two sides are two systems, and the Caoyun Commander-in-Chief is equal to the Caoyun Governor in later generations. Even though Yu Qian has a book on his body, he is a magistrate after all, and although the two of them are superior in rank, they have no affiliation.

Where did the following sin come from.

Even Cao Nai had to speak, and said: "Yes, General Wu Lao is the minister of the Great Ming Pillar Stone, when His Majesty just ascended the throne, he guarded Jiangxi to quell the civil unrest, and became the chief military officer of Caoyun. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Rest assured, the old general Wu is a martyr, how can I treat it lightly, it's really good that the Shenji Battalion is vacant, so he can enter Beijing to take charge of the Shenji Battalion, and he can't let the famous generals keep doing the transfer thing, and Pingjiang Hou Chen Yu, with a family history, wants to come to Caoyun in office, and he will not disappoint me." ”

Zhu Qizhen's original intention was not to embarrass Wuxing.

This kind of veteran who can fight, has fought and is loyal to the court are all treasures, and it is too late for Zhu Qizhen to cherish them, so how can he be embarrassed.

It's just that there is a dark tide in the court that is targeting Yu Qian. Zhu Qizhen naturally wants to stand on the platform for Yu Qian, and he is directly subordinate

Because of the problem of water control, it is not the first time that Fang has friction with the water transportation system.

Previously, Beihe Langzhong, that is, the official who governed the canal north of Shandong with the title of Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry, referred to as Beihe Langzhong, and the Hejian prefect and Tianjin prefect of Zhili were all commanded to make Pingjiang Marquis Chen Yu fight several lawsuits.

It's just that the bosses of the two departments didn't come forward.

Chen Xuan, the first Pingxiang Bo, served as the chief military officer of Caoyun for 30 years, and he left a deep legacy on the Caoyun system, and Zhu Qizhen saw what Chen Yu did, and it was not unbearable.

Let him serve as the chief military officer of Caoyun, and he wants to rely on the connections left by his grandfather, which is enough to sit firmly, and he came out under Yu Qian. Thinking about it, it will greatly reduce the friction between the transportation system and the Zhili locality.

Yang Pu said: "The minister obeys the order, and he will draft an edict after he goes back." ”

Cao Nai wanted to say something, but when he saw Yang Pu like this, he could only lower his head, and said secretly in his heart: "Brother Yu, it's not that I don't help you, I really can't do anything." ”

Now Yu Qian is already on the cusp, and the court's opinion of Qian, a person who has the ability but has destroyed many constitutions of the imperial court, is not very good.

But Cao Nai also knows that this is normal.

After all, people who really do things are just famous all over the world and all over the world.

It's just that some words sound uncomfortable, so just endure it. However, His Majesty's behavior seems to have strengthened Yu Qian's authority, but every time he strengthens it today, the greater the backlash will be in the future.

However, Cao Nai's heart may not be without thinking about himself.

Yu Qian is so valued by His Majesty, what should he do in the future. After all, Yang Pu is already old, even if he is healthy, he can still have a few years, but Yu Qian is still young.

He Cao Nai is also still young.

In the future, it will be friends and rivals, and it is difficult to say.

Let Cao Nai take action to slander Yu Qian himself, he won't do it, but some things are happy to be done, not necessarily bad, and some people are willing to be evildoers. Naturally, he is perfected.

Of course, the reason why Yang Pu bowed his head so easily was that he wanted to push the boat down the river, but he also knew that this topic could not be discussed.

The reason is very simple, after Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, he deliberately distinguished between civil and military, civil affairs were handled in the Wenhua Palace, and military affairs were handled in the Wuying Palace. In the event of a war, it is necessary to bypass the cabinet and consult the British public minister.

Moreover, the authority that the military department has taken over from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies little by little over the years has also been greatly reduced after Yang Rong died and Wang Ji went to Yungui.

Don't you understand what it means?

Although Wu Xing's Cao Yun Chief Military Officer is a military position, it is difficult to say that the matter of transporting Cao grain is a simple army transfer, so Yang Pu has the right to speak. But when Wu Xing was transferred to the Shenji Battalion, Yang Pu didn't want to cross the distance.

Zhu Qizhen saw that his opinion was successfully passed.

I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and I just wanted to clear the obstacles for Yu Qian. A lot of things are not thought about.

Moving on to the next topic, he said, "Is the Ministry of Industry's iron stock sufficient?" ”

Wang Zhi said: "There are not many iron reserves on the side of the Ministry of Industry, after all, the recent imperial court has built a project, and iron is needed everywhere, and since Xuande ten years, the Zunhua iron mine has been closed." ”

Zhu Qizhen was waiting for this sentence in his heart.

The Zunhua Iron Works is the largest iron yard near Beijing, and it can be said that most of the iron used by the government in Beijing comes from the Zunhua Iron Works.

The weapons of hundreds of thousands of troops, the iron materials needed in the palace, and the iron materials needed by the yamen were all obtained from Zunhua.

In the tenth year of Xuande, the Empress Dowager had an order to close the mine among all the urgent tasks, and the Zunhua Iron Yard was too important. As for the three years of orthodoxy, it was reopened.

However, this kind of opening is just a maintenance, and it has not restored the heyday of the Yongle period at all, which is also the relatively rich material of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ministry of Iron and the Ministry of Industry have it.

Zhu Qizhen said: "In this case, send someone to open the Zunhua Iron Yard again." What do you think? ”

Although Zhu Qizhen used an inquiring tone, he had an unquestionable tone.

Zhu Qizhen did not open the Zunhua Iron Field just for the iron materials needed on the embankment in Hebei, but because of various temptations of the tile spurs, he decided to start war preparations.

Combat readiness begins with weapons.

And weapons start with iron first.

Zunhua Iron Yard is said to be big and large, it was the largest in the north at that time, but it was also small and small, and there were thousands of craftsmen in service. Since Zhu Qizhen is determined to prepare for the war, the scale of this Zunhua Iron Field will only get bigger and bigger.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen had to say hello to the cabinet first. Don't be surprised when the cabinet discovers in the future that the scale of the Zunhua Iron Field is much larger than that of Zunhua County.

"The ministers have no objections." Yang Pu said, after all, if the emperor really directly decreed to the interior, the cabinet would not refute him on this matter.

Zhu Qizhen also talked to the ministers about some things in various places. However, the importance is waiting for the next step, such as the flood in Suzhou, there was a famine, but Zhong Zhong is very capable, and he has already placed the famine himself without waiting for the court to make a decision here.

Zhu Qizhen had the idea of transferring the situation clock to the Beijing Division, but he heard that Zhou Chen and the situation clock did not match, and now that Zhou Chen has been used, he can only allow the situation clock to be in the place.

Zhu Qizhen just issued an order to commend him, add money, and seal his wife and son.

When it was almost finished, Zhu Qizhen left Yang Pu behind and said: "Calculate the time, Master Yang Rong has been gone for more than a year, I miss it very much, when Master Yang Rong was there, the mountains and rivers were in Master Yang Rong's chest, and now Mr. can solve my doubts?" ”
