Chapter 260: Pain and Happiness
"Very well, that's what I wanted, and you're doing pretty well."
"This object is basically the same as I expected, and it seems to have been slightly improved, and everyone is doing a good job."
Zhu Youxiao patted the gun carriage with his big hand, which had not yet been equipped with a new cannon, and smiled with satisfaction.
One of the leading masters hurriedly said: "Since half a month ago, His Majesty sent someone to send this picture and manual, the grass people and others did not dare to delay, so they quickly pondered it. ”
"Later, the grass people and others first made a model on the coast, tried to modify it a few times, and thought it should be okay, so they started to make it on the boat."
"It's just that I didn't know if it was in line with Your Majesty's intentions before, but now I'm finally relieved!"
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Satisfied, it should be said that I am very satisfied!" You're doing a pretty good job, and you're just going to wait for the latest supercannon to arrive. ”
"As soon as the personnel of the Royal Military Armament Department make a new type of enlarged artillery, they will immediately bring it over and put it on the ship to try it."
"I've seen and checked here, your work is serious and responsible, it's better than I want, I'm in charge, all the master craftsmen in this shipyard will be rewarded with three taels of silver this month!"
The last thing he lacked now was silver, and it couldn't be easier to give a few hundred taels of silver as a reward.
You must know that after the officers and men of the Royal Army and Navy cleaned up and confiscated the entire Shandong, they received countless amounts of money and food.
Since all the silver vaults in the capital were full, Zhu Youxiao ordered that the money and grain seized from all over the country should be transported into Beijing except for those rare treasures.
The rest of the gold, silver and copper coins were all minted in the new coins of the Ming Empire in various state capitals, and then properly kept in the secret rooms of the newly built Ming Royal Bank.
And because more than a month ago, the perfect reciprocating steam engine has been thoroughly developed, and according to various required sizes, mass construction has begun.
In this way, with real mechanical power, the work of suppressing the coins of the new Ming Empire became very simple.
Now the reform of the Ming Empire's coins, all kinds of preparations have come to an end, and all the Ming Imperial Bank branch buildings in the large and small cities directly under the jurisdiction of the Ming Empire have been completed, and they have begun to be officially implemented.
This time will not exceed a month, and the reform of the new currency will be fully launched immediately.
Those miscellaneous currencies are no longer in circulation, and the people of the empire must exchange them at the royal banks of various cities before they can be used in the Ming Empire.
The implementation of the numismatic reform made Zhu Youxiao breathe a sigh of relief, and the take-off of the Ming Empire in the future has once again inserted a pair of wings, and the rapid rise is just around the corner.
Therefore, all the districts under the jurisdiction of the empire can immediately come up with a large amount of gold, silver and copper coins to reward more than 100 masters of this shipyard, which is not even a drop in the bucket.
He walked off the slipway with great interest, walked around for a while, mentioned a few words to some craftsmen, and returned to the city lord's mansion in Qingdao Port with satisfaction.
"It's time to go back to the capital, otherwise Yan Yingyuan, Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou will probably be in a hurry."
He can't laugh or cry now at these ministers who beat his own ideas.
But I didn't have the slightest reason to oppose it, and I had to do what they said.
Perhaps, this is the pain and happiness.
"Your Majesty, a thousand-person escort of one person and three horses has been prepared, and it is ready to set off immediately."
At this time, the little noble son strode in and reported very respectfully.
He hasn't been back to Beijing for a long time, and he can't wait to go back soon.
The main thing is this guy, it's very delicious.
In the past six months, most of the delicacies, fruits and vegetables of the Ming Empire have tried to get some back, most of them are handed over to the royal family, and the small half is kept for himself.
And now he already knew that the three big peach trees and the three big pear trees in the imperial garden of the imperial city, hanging with a lot of fruits, were ripe and ready to be picked.
He had heard His Majesty the Emperor say it many times, and he had been thinking about those two unknown magical fruits for a long time.
Zhu You proofreads the hobbies of the little nobleman and knows it well.
However, for this little flaw, he will not punish him, anyway, he will not bend the law for bribes and damage the interests of the Ming Empire.
Who hasn't had some minor problems and problems? Love more than the book city
Not to mention the little nobleman, even Zhu Youxiao also wants to go back as soon as possible and taste the magical fruit that has been strengthened to the limit by himself, how does it taste.
It would make the queen make a fuss and close the imperial garden?
If it weren't for the bizarre, she wouldn't have done that.
After all, Queen Zhang Yan can be called a model of the harem, dignified and generous, and will not be so petty.
In the current Qingdao port, only one division of the reserve is guarding.
The remaining two divisions, together with the two garrison divisions of the Shandong Army, were transferred by Li Dingguo to the junction of Shandong and Huai'an Prefecture, and were facing off with Liu Zeqing's troops.
It is really strange to say that the two armies have been facing each other for several days, and there is still no news of a battle.
However, the current Shandong is very stable, with two divisions and 60,000 people guarding it, which is enough.
Therefore, now Zhu Youxiao is leaving with his personal guards, and only the commander of a division of the East China Sea Fleet of the Guards Army will bring people to see him off.
Zhu Youxiao nodded at the crowd of people who saw him off, flew to the back of Xiao Bai, the snow treading god horse, and slightly clamped the horse's belly, Xiao Bai, who had long been suffocated, raised his head and neighed, and galloped towards the northern official road in the first place.
The little nobleman in the rear hurriedly led people to follow, and after a while, the team disappeared at the end of the Daguan Road in the distance.
……
"Your Majesty! We're back again! ”
Three miles outside the Yongding Gate in the capital, a team of cavalry with one person and three horses appeared, led by Zhu Youxiao and Xiao Guizi, who looked at the huge city gate not far away, and said to the emperor with some excitement.
"Well, hurry up, look at Yan Yingyuan and Hong Chengchou in front of you, they are all in a hurry."
Zhu Youxiao pointed to the city gate in front of him, where there was a large crowd of people looking forward to it.
The crowd was divided into two sides, on one side were Yan Yingyuan and Sun Chuanting, with the ministers of civil and military affairs, and on the other side was the empress Zhang Yan, leading dozens of female officials and a female guard of about 1,000 people in the imperial city.
Zhu Youxiao's eyesight is excellent, and from such a distance, he can also see everyone's vague eyebrows.
On such a wide official road, the cavalry marched extremely fast, and in just a few breaths, they had already reached the gate of the city.
"Restored!" ……
In the neighing sound of the war horse, the cavalry of the brigade stopped, and as Zhu Youxiao jumped and dismounted from the war horse, the rest of the cavalry soldiers jumped off the horse in unison.
Everyone held their mounts in one hand and walked slowly in front of the crowd less than fifty meters in front of them.
"Welcome to my emperor!"
"Congratulations on the return of our emperor's victory!" ……
The earth-shattering shout instantly pierced the sky in this area.
"The Qing family is flat!"
Zhu Youxiao hurriedly told everyone to get up, "Ladies and gentlemen, I have been out of Beijing for so long, and everyone has worked hard. ”
Saying this, Zhu Youxiao was sincere and did not have even a little pretentiousness.
The big and small matters of the Ming Empire all depend on Yan Yingyuan and Sun Chuanting, with the hard work and dedication of many civil and military ministers, to have this prosperous picture of today.
Otherwise, Zhu Youxiao would be tired to death, and he would not want to govern the capital and various directly under the jurisdiction so well.
Now within all the direct jurisdictions of the Ming Empire, it can be described as not closing at night.
It is conceivable that the current Ming New Empire is stable, united, prosperous and strong.
After talking to the ministers and the queen for a while, everyone got back on the horse, and the Ming people walked towards the imperial city without delay.
Along the way, a large number of people in the capital spontaneously stood on both sides of the spacious and tidy streets, and let out bursts of cheers when they saw His Majesty the Emperor passing by.
All of a sudden, laughter and laughter filled this huge capital city that was incomparably luxurious and incomparably beautiful and neat.
