Yan Chengjin saw that there were many broken silver in the copper basin held by Eunuch Feng, and Zhu Houzhao earned the first pot of gold in his life, which was actually selling rice flowers.

"How much silver did Your Highness earn?"

"Lao Gao, this palace has found that the companions of the twelve eunuchs have more silver than the main palace, especially the companions of the royal eunuchs." Zhu Houzhao said happily.

The royal supervisor is in charge of the procurement in the palace, can there be no silver?

Yan Chengjin saw that the belt of his trousers was stuffed with silver, and he didn't feel any pain.

What a good prince who is diligent and thrifty......

"Your Majesty has just come to announce Your Highness, why doesn't Your Highness go? My dad won the battle. Yan Chengjin grabbed a handful of rice flowers, but he didn't put them in his mouth.

"What?"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, and missed another opportunity to ask for a reward.

He was sad for a while, but he didn't care and said, "The Dog Emperor will not reward this palace."

Lao Gao, this palace has given your father an idea, how do you repay it? ”

The nine-square grid formation was painted by Zhu Hou.

Yan Chengjin laid out some garrison points on the map, and Zhu Houzhao doubled the garrison points, and then connected them to form a nine-square grid.

In terms of merit, Zhu Houzhao is indispensable.

"The minister didn't bring any silver with him, next time he will give His Highness five taels?"

"The nine-square grid tactics of this palace are only worth five taels of silver?"

Zhu Houzhao was furious, rolled up his sleeves, and strangled Lao Gao to death, the world will be fair.

"The minister came to the East Palace to tell His Highness that rice flowers and brown sugar are more compatible.

His Royal Highness boiled the sugar, poured the rice into it, and when it was cold and compacted, the rice made would be more delicious, and the minister tried it. ”

Yan Chengjin diverted Zhu Houzhao's attention.

"Father made you an official, right? I still want to fool this palace. Zhu Houzhao glanced to the side, but the eunuch on the side didn't dare to go up.

I heard that Lord Yan made the eight big walls of the East Palace disappear.

Who would dare to mess with him?

"The minister is still the right of the Imperial Palace, and he has not been promoted."

Zhu Houzhao is more comfortable.

also drew the nine-square grid tactic, Lao Gao was rewarded by his father, but he didn't get anything, he would be very sad.

Then he smiled again.

Ordered someone to steal the sugar, set up a cauldron in the courtyard of the East Palace, boiled the sugar, and poured in the rice flowers.

After a while, Yang Tinghe of Zhan Shifu walked in with a black face.

I haven't seen you for a long time, and I seem to have lost some weight.

Yan Chengjin heard that Yang Tinghe was frightened by Zhu Houzhao, and now he is not afraid of cockroaches.

"What kind of fun tricks did Lord Yan teach the prince?"

Yang Tinghe seemed to be smiling, and asked in a strange way.

"Lord Yang came just in time, His Royal Highness's newly made golden rice crackers, five taels a piece, Lord Yang can taste them."

The corners of Zhu Houzhao's mouth twitched fiercely, Lao Gao was really dark, and he said happily in the blink of an eye: "Yes, this palace just made it, five taels of silver a piece." ”

Yang Tinghe almost didn't take out the arithmetic, and taught them to do the math, how many stone rice can be bought for five taels.

But...... Incense is really incense.

The sugar is easy to burn, cook until golden brown, pour in the rice flowers, stir it and it is done, and the aroma wafts out of the pot.

Yang Tinghe snorted coldly and bowed slightly towards Zhu Houzhao: "Please don't waste your studies." ”

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "This palace only plays for one day, and it will not be wasted." ”

100 million days?

……

Yan Chengjin returned to the house and received a letter from Cheng Min's political trustee.

Open it and take a look: attacking Jianzhou, the Korean ministers had different opinions, and Han Simen alone could not dominate the entire imperial court.

"It seems that I still have to help Han Simen become the leader of the council."

Now that the leader of the DPRK has differences with Han Simen, Han Simen is newly appointed, so he naturally can't break him.

In fact, the elimination of Jianzhou will be beneficial to both Daming and North Korea, at least it will make the northern border of North Korea free of external troubles, and then carry out border trade between the two Koreas.

Jianzhou has been plundered on the border of eastern Liaodong and Pyongan Province in North Korea all the year round, resulting in poor commerce and trade in eastern Liaodong and has not been able to develop.

The war between Korea and Jianju has been a long time, just like the Tatars and the Ming Dynasty.

However, North Korea could not expel Jianju further afield.

Yan Chengjin has a way to pull down the leader and make Han Simen the new leader.

In this way, the attack on Jianzhou will become an established fact.

The next morning,

Hundreds of officials entered the Fengtian Palace, and Emperor Hongzhi sat on the high hall.

Han Wen bowed slightly, and took the lead in reporting: "Your Majesty, the minister calculated last night, and I am afraid that the Great Wall from Jiayuguan in the northwest to Shaanxi Town will not be repaired." ”

Yan Chengjin's face was a little complicated, what kind of moth does Han Wen want to fix?

Emperor Hongzhi asked, "I have issued an edict, why can't I repair it?" ”

"Yan Chengjin's retribution to the ministers is wrong!"

Li Dongyang felt incredible.

Liu Jian, Xie Qian and others had wonderful eyes in their eyes, and Emperor Hongzhi had a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Yan Chengjin has always been well-known in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for his prudence, but now he has miscalculated?

"Tell me about it."

"The minister asked the Ministry of War last night, how long is the Great Wall to be built in the northwest, and does Your Majesty know how long it is? Full ...... More than 2,000 miles!

Stones and bricks have to be excavated, carried, and piled up, and I don't know how many homeless people are needed, and they have to pay the homeless people.

In the past, the court was overwhelmed by the fact that they were not paid for the completion of the work, which was worthy of the material money

Not to mention the fact that I have to pay my wages now. ”

In the past, the construction of the Great Wall was a way of conscription.

Every household recruits strong men to build the Great Wall, but there is no silver, and it is for nothing.

Now that the settlement wages have been changed, these wages are a large amount of expenses.

The first time the Ming Dynasty built the Great Wall was at the beginning of the dynasty, and the general Xu Da presided over the construction.

The second time was after the Tumubao Change, which was built during the reign of Yingzong, and the rest of the emperors had no experience in building the Great Wall.

Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang and others did not know much.

"Yan Qing's family reported less silver?" Emperor Hongji asked.

"What's more, Your Majesty knows that to build the Great Wall, you need to use glutinous rice mortar?

Stone and green bricks are still easy to get, but this glutinous rice mortar must be boiled with glutinous rice as the main material to fix the stone and green bricks.

To repair a mile of side wall, it will cost seven stones of glutinous rice.

If you want to build 2,000 miles, I'm afraid it will ...... It will take 10,000 hectares of fertile land to be replanted with glutinous rice, and I am afraid that it will not be able to be repaired this year. ”

There are few households that grow glutinous rice, and there are almost no households that grow glutinous rice in the north.

Even there are not many farmers in Jiangnan who grow glutinous rice.

The yield per mu of one acre of fertile land is about two stones, how can anyone eat glutinous rice every day?

Therefore, glutinous rice is sold far less than rice and japonica rice.

You can't buy that much with silver.

"Your Majesty still remembers Song Jing?"

A non-harsh voice sounded, and the ministers looked around, only to see Yan Chengjin bowing slightly.

"Of course I remember."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, that was the only flat-headed person he could remember the name of.

"After the waterway of Liangxiang was opened, the north and south were separated, and merchants could not pass, so Liangxiang built a stone bridge, but did not use glutinous rice mortar."

"Oh?"

Han Wen and the officials of the Ministry of Industry looked over.

Li Dongyang and others were not familiar with architecture, but they were also surprised.

"Sanhe soil is very strong for building stone bridges, and its important raw material is glutinous rice paste, you don't use glutinous rice paste, isn't it harmful!" The Ministry of Engineering asked questioningly.

Sanhe soil, that is, lime, river sand, loess, etc., add glutinous rice paste and star fruit vine juice and evenly.

Extremely sturdy, but a bit of a material-intensive one.

Some bridges saved a lot of materials in order to save money, and collapsed within a few years.

"Your Majesty, why don't you take the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry to see the stone bridge?"

The Great Wall must be repaired, and no matter how powerful the artillery of the Ming Dynasty is, it can't bear the endless nine sides.

The Tatars often raided in small groups.

With the Great Wall, even if there is no army stationed there, the northwest can be settled.

Nearly one million displaced people in Jingxiang will be resettled.

"It's been a long time since I've been to Liangxiang, so I'll go and see it too."

Emperor Hongzhi was slightly apprehensive in his heart, afraid of attracting impeachment by the officials, but he had a calm expression on his face.
