Chapter 24 Preparation for the construction of the factory
With Wang Chengen's instructions, where did the steward in the palace dare to snub Zhu Shun and invite Zhu Shun to sit behind the main hall.
Wang Chengen's vegetable household, a beautiful woman, personally brought Zhu Shun the top Mengding stone flower tea.
I also asked the maid to bring a few kinds of tea food such as flower folded goose cake, wood honey golden hair noodles, and five-color cakes.
When Zhu Shun came to Daming, he either drank porridge or ate bread with no taste at all every day, and suddenly ate such exquisite tea that he almost didn't swallow his tongue.
But he just ate one and didn't eat it, keeping the demeanor he should have.
Wang Chengen came back from the palace, changed his clothes, and immediately went to see Zhu Shun, and learned that Zhu Shun wanted to borrow a team of sergeants to protect Wang Gongchang, so he returned to the palace overnight without saying a word.
Chongzhen's attention to the hydraulic drilling machine has risen to the height of the country's important affairs, but he still expects this silver to help the victims of Shaanxi, and by the way, he reissued the food of the border army, and directly dispatched a team of brocade guards.
In addition, Wang Chengen also brought back a message to Zhu Shun, saying that if the craftsmen of Wang Gongchang did not obey the discipline, they could send 1,000 craftsmen from the 24th Yamen War Bureau to Zhu Shun.
The War Bureau is the place where the Ming Dynasty manufactures firearms, and Wang Gongchang used to be just a gunpowder factory, and it was mainly used to manufacture gunpowder in normal times, but in the past two years, the side affairs have been tight, and about 500 craftsmen have been assigned to be responsible for making bird guns.
Most of the remaining craftsmen are still mainly engaged in making gunpowder.
With the assistance of these 100 brocade guards, Zhu Shun had enough confidence, and as soon as he brought people over, he saw the general flag of Wang Gong's factory and wanted to burn the warehouse.
The Jinyi Wei Baihu who led the team knew the status of Wang Gongchang in the emperor's heart, and before coming over, Wang Chengen also deliberately mentioned the Jinyi Wei Baihu.
Unexpectedly, he saw this scene as soon as he came, Jin Yiwei took out the embroidered spring knife and rushed over, and said with a cold face: "Escort them all out." ”
Originally, he was still thinking about the general banner of meritorious service, but when he saw Jinyiwei, he was suddenly frightened, and his hands and feet were cold and he was dragged out by the two Jinyiwei.
Zhu Shun watched this hundred brocade guards quickly escort away Wang Gongchang's general flag and all his subordinates, and Wang Gongchang was completely relieved at this time.
Zhu Shun raised his feet and was just about to leave, he had always put on a stinky face, and when he saw the first assistant of the cabinet, who was also a stinky face, he had a little more smile on his face.
Maybe he hasn't laughed for a long time, and his smile is a little stiff: "Mr. Zhu, go slowly, I have something I want to talk to Mr. about something." ”
Zhu Shun didn't understand what Jin Yiwei could talk about when he found himself, he didn't have any oil and water on him, and he didn't have a fat difference to arrange for him: "Li Baihu, please speak." ”
Jinyi Wei Baihu thought about it for a while, and decided to tell the truth, and there was nothing to hide from this kind of thing: "It's like this, Mr. Zhu, when I came over, my family explained to Qianhu." ”
"Let me ask Mr. if this rifled flintlock pistol can be equipped with our Jinyi Qianhu in Beizhili first."
Zhu Shun became interested in the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty for a while, and specifically searched for the information of the Jinyiwei, and knew that the Jinyiwei was generally divided into three types.
One is stationed in various places, the other is stationed in Beijing, and the other is temporarily sent to various places.
Stationed in the thirteen provinces and Nanzhili and other places, the Jinyi Thousand Households Office used inns, restaurants, Qinglou and other places as secret spy bases, and used various grassroots industry identities as covers.
Supervise whether officials are corrupt, secretly spy on certain officials in the lower fields, and have duties such as suppressing rebellion, counter-espionage, and monitoring feudal kings in various places.
What frightened the officials the most was that Jinyiwei had the right to independently investigate, arrest, interrogate, pronounce sentences, and detain them.
The highest governor of the Jinyi Thousand Households stationed in various places is the Jinyi Thousand Households, who is responsible for managing the Jinyi Guards of a province.
The thousand households in the mouth of this brocade cloth hundred households are the thousand households in brocade clothes who are in charge of all the brocade clothes in Beizhili, if they can form an incense relationship with him, this is one thing that many central ministers will wake up with a smile in their dreams.
Zhu Shun didn't say yes, nor did he say no, just nodded slightly, indicating that he knew and left here.
Usually when the Wupin officials saw Li Baihu, they subconsciously avoided him and bypassed through another alley, Li Baihu saw that Zhu Shun seemed to agree to this matter, and actually took the initiative to send Zhu Shun to the gate.
Forget it, and let the two brocade guards with the best martial arts under his hands carefully follow Zhu Shun to guard, so as not to have any accidents.
The brocade guards under Li Baihu are usually uncles, when have I seen Li Baihu as the uncle of the uncles, such a low profile, it feels really unbelievable.
On the way to Huangcun, the two Jinyi guards saw two peers, and the two fans of the East Factory were also secretly guarding Zhu Shun, which made them even more strange about Zhu Shun's identity.
Zhu Shun walked to the stone bridge at the entrance of the village, and happened to meet the second uncle, who had just come back from the crop field with a hoe on his shoulder: "Second uncle." ”
Zhu Zhongyi's dark face grinned, took out a dry jujube from his arms, and put it in Zhu Shun's hand.
Zhu Zhongyi, who stopped, was silent for a while, and suddenly said, "Shun'er, the family knows about the gambling game." ”
"If this official really can't do it, don't feel embarrassed, don't dare to go home, the second uncle still has some connections in Shanhaiguan, and when the time comes, I will get you a small official in charge of grain and grass."
Zhu Zhongyi has been fighting at the border for so many years, and the connections he bought with his life are not left to his son, but to leave this opportunity to him in order to save face for Zhu Shun.
Zhu Shun knew the weight of this sentence, of course he wouldn't accept it: "Second uncle is fine, let's win this time." ”
Zhu Zhongyi nodded, didn't say anything more, and limped back to the dilapidated thatched house.
Looking at the dilapidated place where his family lives, the establishment of Jenny's spinning mill is on the agenda.
After lunch the next day, Zhu Shun went next door to find the third uncle who had nothing to do at home, and the third uncle sat in the fence yard with a sad face, and the third aunt counted next to him.
"You talk about you, don't you just say two sentences about you, what's unbearable."
"Don't be a tooth person, don't be a tooth person, what to eat and drink at home."
"The second child's family finally made up for the pension, gave three acres of fertile land, and exempted the tax for five years.
"We don't have land, and you don't have a craft, how can you feed our family."
"Don't say anything else, the old lady is a great hero of your old Zhu family, she gave birth to five sons for you, and strengthened the incense of your old Zhu family."
The third uncle, Zhu Zhongli, is usually very afraid of guilt, not to mention that he can't make money now, so he only dares to listen to it and doesn't dare to talk.
Zhu Shun pushed open the wooden door and walked in, and saw the third aunt wearing a cloth skirt with a wooden hairpin on her head, and kept nagging while weaving cloth.
The third uncle, Zhu Zhongli, squatted on the threshold with his head bowed, listening honestly, not daring to say even a word.
