Chapter 102: Let's talk about it later
The eunuch Hu Chengen hurriedly stepped forward to take the wooden box, presented the dragon case, and then opened it one by one, and the first wooden box contained a pair of exquisite golden stirrups.
This is still Lin Xiao in Yongfu County after robbing the Qing general Fu Nengjun to collect, Lao Chen picked a long day to ask Li Hanzhi to bring it, the implication is to wish the great cause of resisting the Qing Dynasty to success, but I don't know if this monarch can understand.
The second wooden box was dedicated to the Queen Mother, and when I opened it, I saw six crystal cups lying on the velvet liner inside.
Yongli couldn't help but light up when he saw this, and bowed down slightly to take a closer look, he was not uncommon with golden stirrups or something, if it was placed in the past, he wouldn't have bothered to look at this kind of gold and silver products.
But this set of crystal cups in front of him has never been seen before, he has seen a lot of crystal glass products, but he has never heard of such a transparent glass product with such a large size......
Yongli couldn't help but stretch out his hands, carefully picked up one, and held it up in front of him to watch it carefully.
When the ministers saw the cup in the emperor's hand, they couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and then there was silence like death.
Lin Xiao laughed secretly in his heart: Native chicken! Isn't it just an ordinary set of glasses? The golden stirrup next to it is worth a lot, okay?
It seems that this glass product has a lot to offer?
When you go back, you must ask Lao Chen where he found this? If there's a batch in the container, it's a good deal; If it's just Lao Chen's own, then you have to discuss this matter with Lao Zhou and see if you can build a glass factory?
Seeing that a group of monarchs and ministers were attracted by the glass in front of him, Lin Xiao felt that it was time to add more fire, so he coughed dryly and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, what you saw all the way when you entered the city was that the hungry people in the city were in urgent need of relief. The minister broke through Kong Youde and seized the remaining 5,000 stone of military rations, and ordered people to transport 10,000 stones of rice from Qinzhou in advance, and now the grain ship has arrived at the wharf outside the city, and will be transported one after another in the future, and the minister begged His Majesty to open a warehouse and release grain, in order to reassure the people. ”
Yongli came back to his senses, put down the glass, Huo Ran got up and said loudly: "Accurate!" Li Longchang, the waiter of the household department, immediately handled the storage of money and grain, organized people to open warehouses and release grain, and helped the refugees. ”
"Obey."
Li Longchang responded to the call and went out to call someone with a happy face.
Yongli looked at Lin Xiao and said with a warm face: "Lin Aiqing is loyal to the country, I am very relieved!" With this money and food, the people of Nanning can finally survive this year. ”
"Come on, enjoy the fifty jars of Qinchuan Hou's wine...... Ten silk horses, one clothes. ”
Yongli said with a little embarrassment, there is really nothing to do in the palace, only Moutai has some wine.
"Thank you, Lord Long."
Lin Xiao hurriedly thanked him, but he was full of slander in his heart, numb! This is not a human work! I don't know how many times I've knelt this day, and Lao Tzu hasn't knelt like this since he hit his mother's womb.
However, for the sake of hundreds of millions of Li people, let's put up with it for the time being, seeing that the fire is almost over, Lin Xiao got up and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, the minister has this to play...... Since the formation of the army, the ministers have won every battle and conquered every attack, all thanks to military discipline and firearms. Today, the ministers defended the towns, built weapons and warships, and the money and grain were raised by their own ministers, but the copper, iron, lead and other ores needed for smelting were quite lacking, and the ministers begged His Majesty for permission, and the Ministry of Industry organized the people to mine and transport ores. ”
Yongli, who had sat down again, heard this, a trace of imperceptible Limang flashed in his eyes, but he said kindly: "Accurate!" The Ministry of Labor organized manpower to handle this matter. ”
"Minister...... Obey! ”
Gongbu Lang Zhonggu came out of the class, and replied with an embarrassed face, "But...... Your Majesty! The manpower, money, and food required to open the mine are very expensive, and with the current financial resources of the imperial court, it may be difficult to maintain it. ”
"......" Yongli didn't know how to answer, and turned his head to look at a few elders.
"Your Majesty, the manpower required for mining is not difficult to solve, the Marquis of Qinchuan has broken the enemy several times, and the Qing soldiers have captured tens of thousands, and the minister thinks that he can drive these people to open the mine, and only need to supply rations, no wages."
Qu Shiyun knew that Gu Qipin wanted to play tricks, so he immediately went out to refute it.
"What Qu Aiqing said is reasonable...... Yongli said lightly.
"Your Majesty! Coal, iron, lead, and other materials have ready-made mines in Guangxi, and the minister will do it immediately. But...... Copper, silver and other materials are only available in Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, and this ...... Can Rongchen organize mining in this province first? ”
Without waiting for Yongli to express his position, Gu Qipin said with a bitter face.
Silver and copper are mined out of money, and people are sent to the territory of King Qin to mine? Isn't this a game of tigers?
"Your Majesty! The minister also thought that it was better to work first in Guangxi, and the King of Qin was ...... Rong Chen and others will slowly figure it out in the future? ”
University scholar Yan Qiheng went out of the class.
There are only three cabinet scholars left in the small imperial court, each of whom has its own power, among which Qu Shiyun is in charge of officials and soldiers, Yan Qiheng is the teacher of Yongli, and he is in charge of the household and the work, and the nominal first assistant Wu Zhenyu has to be in charge of the remaining Ministry of Rites and the Criminal Department.
Yan Qiheng saw that his people were in trouble, so he naturally had to come forward.
"Your Majesty! The whole world is not the king's land! Isn't Yunnan and Guizhou my Ming's? The minister thought that the Ministry of Industry should not be afraid of the head and tail, and should immediately send personnel to communicate with the King of Qin, after all, the matter of supervising the construction of the army is indispensable for copper......"
Wu Zhenyu saw that Yan Qiheng was short and hurried out of work.
"Lord Wu, don't you know what kind of person King Qin is? Is communication useful? How did Yang Weizhi die? ”
Yan Qiheng is not afraid of Wu Zhenyu, the sample was still in prison yesterday, and he was angry as soon as he came out today?
"That's it...... This matter will be discussed at a later date. ”
Yongli frowned slightly, seeing that these people could only talk about the skin, and they couldn't get to the point at all, so he had to say lightly with a cold face, "That's it, three days later, Zhongqing will go to the Nanjiao Field with me to participate in the year-end parade together, and the military department will go to inform Zheng Guo." ”
"Your Majesty, did Hu Yiqing and Zhao Yinxuan participate in the military parade?" Qu Shiyun asked cautiously.
"No need, they defend Kunlun Pass, they have a heavy responsibility, and they don't need to go back to Beijing."
"Obey the order!"
Qu Shiyun and Wu Zhenyu looked at each other and smiled slightly bitterly.
There is no threat before Kunlun Pass, and it stands to reason that it will only be a matter of a day or two for them to come back, and it is the highest honor for a unit to be able to participate in the year-end parade.
The emperor said this, obviously because he had a lot of criticism about their repeated defeats, but it was true that they were not angry, and he did not blame the emperor for not wanting to see them.
"The cabinet bachelor stays, and the rest of the people are scattered! Retreat! ”
"Your Ministers obey!" "Hooray, hooray, hooray!"
……
Lin Xiao went out of the city and returned to the barracks, Feng Gang, the deputy commander of the first battalion, arrived with the prisoners with the baggage company and the people's husband, and Ding Shuai and they had already commanded the people to finish moving the food and ordnance, and the prisoners had also been taken into the prisoner camp, and they were settling the people's resting place.
The spare barracks were not enough, so Ding Shuai ordered someone to urgently set up some big tents, make a fire at night, and squeeze the generals first, and the prisoner camp did not have that treatment, and it was forbidden to light a fire in the grass hut!
"These people should feed them, and in a few days hand them over to the people of the Ministry of Industry, and send them to open mines."
Looking at the prisoner camp from afar, Lin Xiao touched his nose and groaned.
"yes, it's all free labor." Ding Shuai, who was beside him, echoed with a smile.
"In the past few days, you have led the team to practice more queues, and the emperor will hold a military parade in three days, and then show some spirit to scare those boys." Lin Xiao said to Nunu to the east.
"Understood! Mission completion guaranteed! Ding Shuai blinked and said with a wicked smile.
