Since the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Sun Yuanhua, then Counselor of Liaodong Jinglu, and his boss Yuan Chonghuan were driven home by the eunuchs, Sun Yuanhua has been in his hometown in Songjiang for two years.

In the past two years, the first emperor died of illness, Wei Zhongxian committed suicide, the backbone of the eunuch party was purged, the number of cabinet members increased, the Donglin party members rose up one after another, and the six ministries and nine secretaries were replaced. The seemingly calm court is actually very lively.

But all this has nothing to do with Sun Yuanhua, who was fishing on the edge of the Songjiang River.

Although his teacher sent him several letters asking him to prepare for his comeback, the edict of the resumption did not reach Songjiang for a long time.

When he saw off his mentor by the river and went north, he thought that he would be reused by the court soon, and his joy was still vivid, but now it turned into a pain in his heart.

He knew that his teacher would not bully him, and he also knew that the teacher must have recommended him many times, but he just couldn't understand why the Son of Heaven didn't use him.

To say that he is humble and shallow, but his attainments in firearms he thinks that the Son of Heaven will not be unaware, and there is a teacher in front of the Son of Heaven, and his ability will not be unclear to the Son of Heaven.

But Yang Hao, the general of the defeated army, was enabled to return to Liaodong, but he still did not have the blue eyes of the Son of Heaven.

If Sun Yuanhua has no resentment against the Son of Heaven, even he will not believe it, and he has made many poems in a row, full of depression.

But no amount of resentment and more poetry can be exchanged for the edict of the Son of Heaven, and after a long time, Sun Yuanhua, who has been polished to no temper, no longer cares about being an official.

On this day, Sun Yuanhua was fishing by the river as usual, and I don't know if it was because of the cold weather, and the fish did not take the bait for a long time.

But just when Sun Yuanhua was about to give up and was about to go home to scald a pot of old wine and get drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows, the Si Yan at home ran over in a panic.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Sun Yuanhua was taken aback, saying that there was an angel coming to the door, and he also carried a holy decree.

All kinds of speculations exploded in Sun Yuanhua's head in an instant, and he asked Na Si Yan a few more words, making sure that he was not here to get himself, so Sun Yuanhua settled down and began to guess on the good side.

Sun Yuanhua also thought about whether it was an edict of revenge, but later dismissed this unrealistic idea by himself.

If you get back, your teacher will definitely report to you in advance, but the teacher hasn't said that it's basically impossible to get back.

The angel came to the door, Sun Yuanhua still didn't dare to slack off, and he dared to go home full of suspicions, put down the incense case, bathe and burn incense, and Sun Yuanhua knew the content of the edict.

It turned out to be to let myself go to Beijing to see His Majesty.

did not let Sun Yuanhua delay, and on the second day, the angel took Sun Yuanhua into Beijing by boat.

Sun Yuanhua, who had a stomach full of lawsuits along the way, was not settled by the news sent by the teacher's family until he arrived in the capital.

It's finally going to be reinstated!

On the second day, His Majesty saw that the Son of Heaven was much younger than he imagined, and it was said that the Son of Heaven who could get rid of the eunuchs in one fell swoop and personally conquer Liaodong should be a young and old man, but looking at the appearance of the Son of Heaven, he was still a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old.

However, after the young emperor answered a few questions, Sun Yuanhua knew the true meaning of the word "people must not be disguised".

has a lot of treasures about Sun Yuanhua's resume, and he has not concealed his exploits in Liaodong, and of course he is also clear about the fields he is good at, which shows that the Son of Heaven investigated him clearly before he met him.

And it shows that the Son of Heaven has been paying attention to himself before, and he has already had a general evaluation of his ability and shortcomings.

In the face of such an experienced and meticulous emperor, Sun Yuanhua's previous grievances all dissipated without a trace, of course, most of them were frightened.

Sun Yuanhua waited for a while, and did not wait for the Son of Heaven to arrange or settle for him, but talked to him about the strength of Western ships.

This is exactly what Sun Yuanhua is good at, and when the Son of Heaven was young, Sun Yuanhua gave out some of his ideas in army building.

But the more he talked about it, the more Sun Yuanhua felt that the weapon ideas he was proud of before were not worth mentioning at all in front of this young emperor.

I have learned and realized those from Westerners, and compared with the sleeves of this son of heaven, it is like a crescent moon and a bright sun.

But seeing that Sun Yuanhua, who had already suppressed his arrogance, Zhu Youzhen didn't give him much nonsense, and directly said his arrangements for him.

Until Sun Yuanhua, who was instilled in his head by the Son of Heaven with a dream of a great navy, walked out of the Forbidden City, he still didn't understand what kind of yamen the Generalissimo's Mansion was.

Sun Yuanhua did not go back to his post house, but went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, and under the teacher's explanation, he knew that he was already a person in the entrainment of the Son of Heaven.

Sun Yuanhua was excited, and two days later, his majesty resigned from the Son of Heaven and rushed to Tianjin to take office.

After Sun Yuanhua took office, the progress of shipbuilding was indeed faster, and he couldn't wait for the wood to be distilled, so Sun Yuanhua took advantage of Tianjin's opening of the sea and directly bought the big wood that had been dried from the south.

Moreover, Sun Yuanhua also has the identity of a Catholic, and he has also dealt with foreigners a lot before, which makes it much smoother to arouse those Western technicians.

Not long after, Zhu Youzhen learned from Sun Yuanhua's recital that the first sail warship was already under construction.

With such rapid results, Zhu Youzhen not only sighed how important it is to let the right people do the right things.

Tianjin's affairs have slowly entered the normal, and Xishan also came with good news a year ago, the kind of transparent glass that the Son of Heaven wants has been fired.

Compared with the spinning loom, glass is a profitable business, Zhu Youzhen knows the principle of firing glass, and naturally knows how profitable this trade is.

As long as it is operated properly, the net profit of several million a year is definitely not a problem, and the profiteering industrial product of glass can also attract more Western merchants to take risks to trade in Tianjin.

At that time, high value-added products such as silk, porcelain, and wool textiles will also sell well.

Although the Ming Dynasty could not participate in the Great Voyage, the convenience brought by the Great Voyage could be enjoyed as soon as possible, at least in the future, there would be no shortage of silver.

As long as you have silver, you can raise more troops, build more warships, cast more cannons, and have the backing of your own army, then you can do more reforms.

Of course, it is Zhu Youjian's initial goal to participate in the Great Voyage as soon as possible, to feed the population of Daming with the dividends of the Age of Discovery, to solve the problem of feeding the people in the north, and to help Daming overcome the crisis of the Xiaoice period.

Zhu Youzhen was immersed in the summary of this year's affairs and future planning, and forgot the time for a while, until Wang Chengen reminded him, and then remembered the matter of inviting the elders into the palace before.
