Historical records: Before Chenghua, the king of the court staff went to his clothes, used thick cotton underwear, and folded the cloth to show humiliation, but he was still in bed for several months, and then recovered.

Now it's the year of Hongzhi after the year of Chenghua, and the court staff is still very terrifying.

If the emperor is ruthless, it is really possible to kill people.

But was Emperor Hongzhi ruthless?

No.

Zhu Houzhao was his only son, and it was impossible to kill or maim him, and the prison officer did not dare to kill or maim him.

Li Zhaotong!

Emperor Hongzhi said that he wanted Xiao Jing to add clothes to him, does this mean that he can't be beaten again?

These prison officers in charge of the court staff in the palace are very experienced and know when to fight with their hearts, when to fight with their hearts, and when to ...... Performance.

To fight with your heart is to die;

If you really fight, it is a big cripple;

Performance...... It's a show!

The two prison officers who sentenced Zhu Houzhao and Li Zhao were all drama spirits!

The two prison officers both waved their court staff vigorously, looking fierce and vicious, but after the court staff fell on Zhu Houzhao and Li Zhaotong's buttocks, it gave these two brothers and sisters the feeling of dust.

Zhu Houzhao is obviously very experienced, he knows that it doesn't hurt, and he also knows that he has to cooperate with the performance, so from the moment the cane touches his buttocks, he begins to "wail".

Li Zhaotong has no experience, but he has never eaten pork and never seen a pig run?

He had long known that today's court staff would not hurt, but he had to cooperate with the prisoner's performance, so he also followed the "wailing".

For a while, the wails in front of the Fengtian Temple came and went.

……

"Li Er, this palace is lost! This court staff doesn't hurt at all, fifty times is no different from ten times, but the palace still has to copy the "Emperor Ming Zuxun" again, if you don't copy it, then the person who will hit the palace will not be the prison officer in the Han general, but the dog emperor. ”

Zhu Houzhao is still very righteous, after he finished the performance with the prison officer, he stood aside and waited for Li Zhaotong to finish the performance, and then pulled Li Zhaotong to the East Palace.

"Your Highness can ask the little eunuch to help you copy the "Emperor Ming Ancestral Teachings"!"

Li Zhaotong knew what Zhu Houzhao's idea was, this guy just wanted to take more shares of the princess house, and Li Zhaotong definitely didn't agree to this, so he hurriedly came up with a bad idea and didn't give Zhu Houzhao a chance to ask for compensation at all.

"Are you stupid? When Bengong was four years old, he knew that he was looking for a little eunuch to help Bengong copy the "Emperor Ming Zuxun", but he was beaten by the dog emperor and then copied twice. ”

Zhu Houzhao was speechless.

Li Zhaotong is a dog thing, deliberately not answering the topic, it's too bad!

"Then Your Highness will go back to the East Palace and copy it slowly, and support yourself, it's good! The minister is going back to change clothes and drink ginger soup, and when he came out just now, he must have suffered from the cold. ”

"Unrighteous guy!" Zhu Houzhao complained.

"Your Highness's words are wrong, if you weren't a minister today, Your Highness might have won a hundred officials, but Your Majesty, you can't win!

Also, the one-four-fifty division model of the princess's house has already been decided, Your Highness, you will take the opportunity to make up your mind, and I will also help Your Highness take the blame and cause your reputation to be bad!

Did I make a request? Am I proud? Not at all! ”

"Alright! All right! ”

Speaking of Li Zhaotong, Zhu Houzhao was a little annoyed, thinking of today's, he was even more annoyed, and said:

"Your reputation is ruined, and the two of us have to pretend to be injured for days, what about the princess house?"

"Don't worry! There is a word called public opinion storm, and today's thing is public opinion storm, except that I am a little ashamed, but it is actually a good thing for the princess house.

Look! In a few days, most people in the capital will know about our princess house.

And then as long as one thousandth of them comes, then we can make money and make a soft hand!

As for the opening of business, there is Deng Jian's dog thing, you can rest assured. ”

"Alright! Then wait a few more days. ”

……

In the Fengtian Temple, the early dynasty continued.

"Your Majesty, the amount of iron used in the Xishan coal industry has increased sharply recently, and there are signs of iron shortage in the capital, and the price of iron has risen!"

The book of the household department is played.

"Is there a solution?" Emperor Hongji asked.

Zhou Jing replied: "Your Majesty, the minister plans to arrange for the officials to go to Yangcheng County, Shanxi, and suggest that the local state-owned and private iron and steel smelting institutes increase production, and at the same time transfer the existing local steel for the capital. ”

"No!"

Xie Qian was the secretary of the military department at this time, and he knew that the iron smelting station in Yangcheng County, Shanxi Province was related to the stability of the nine sides, so he immediately stood up and objected:

"Your Majesty, the raw steel produced in Yangcheng County, Shanxi Province, needs to be supplied to Xuanfu Town, Datong Town and Sanguan Town, and the steel from Yangcheng County, Shanxi Province must not be transferred at will, otherwise the nine sides will be unstable! Your Majesty! ”

"Is that so?" Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhou Jing.

"Your Majesty, it is true, however, the iron smelting industry in Yangcheng County, Shanxi Province is developed, and there are many iron mines in the local area, so increasing production and supplying the capital should not affect the stability of the nine sides!"

"You can't say that, Zhou Qing's family, I don't think I can get the steel from Yangcheng County, Shanxi, Aiqing, you are thinking about the steel produced by the iron smelting institutes in other parts of my Daming Dynasty."

The nine-sided town of the Ming Dynasty is too important, and Emperor Hongzhi will not make decisions that affect the stability of the nine sides unless it is absolutely necessary.

Emperor Hongzhi refused to transfer the steel from Yangcheng County, Shanxi, in fact, it was expected by Zhou Jing, so he came prepared, and he replied:

"Your Majesty, if you don't get the steel from Yangcheng County, Shanxi, then you can only go to Jinxian and Fenyi in Jiangxi, Xingguo and Huangmei in Huguang, and Nanhai in Guangdong, but these places are too far away from the capital, and in the opinion of Yichen, I'm afraid that far water can't quench your thirst."

"Lord Zhou, it's not right! If the old man is not mistaken, in Cizhou, Guangping Prefecture, Henan, the private iron-smelting industry is also quite developed, why don't you transfer steel from Cizhou? ”

Yang Shousui, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, asked Zhou Jing with a frown.

Zhou Jing smiled bitterly and replied:

"Lord Yang, the old man investigated before, the iron ore in Cizhou has been mined on a large scale since the Mengyuan period, and now the iron ore there has been almost mined, and the steel produced locally, like the steel produced in various parts of Shuntianfu, is mainly supplied to the capital, so it can't be done here."

"What about Laiwu in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong?" Yang Shou asked.

Zhou Jing shook his head and replied:

"No, the steel of this property needs to be supplied to Liaodong Town and Jizhou Town, and the output is limited, so instead of going here to get it, it is better to go to Yangcheng County, Shanxi Province."

"What then?" Emperor Hongji asked.

Zhou Jing replied:

"Your Majesty, for the sake of today, only the honeycomb coal furnace will reduce production, or even stop production, and wait until the steel from Jiangxi, Huguang and other places arrives, and then make arrangements."

"What about Xishan Coal Industry and the people who didn't buy honeycomb coal stoves?"

"Your Majesty, haven't you all come here like this in the past? This year, there is one more Xishan Coal Industry, and the people's lives have temporarily improved, which is a good thing.

However, the large amount of iron used by the Xishan coal industry has led to an increase in iron prices, which will also affect the lives of the people.

So, this one has come and gone, and it seems that nothing has changed.

Therefore, Chen suggested that Xishan Coal Industry suffer a loss, stop producing honeycomb coal furnaces first, wait for a few months, and wait for the steel from Jiangxi, Huguang and other places to be transported before production.

In this way, the price of iron can be stabilized.

At that time, the Xishan coal industry could be called beneficial to the country and the people. ”
