Although Chen Ju said it well, Zhu Yijun knew that he still had to wait for the qualified wrought iron that he wanted to mass-produce. It seems that the artillery unit he wants is out of play, although Zhu Yijun was not a hardcore BB party in his previous life, nor was he a believer in the multi-turret God Cult, but Zhu Yijun is still very fanatical about artillery.

Although it will not pursue any large-caliber long-range shooting, it will still pursue saturation artillery strikes.

The gun Zhu Yijun wanted was a mortar, although the current front-loading smoothbore gun, that is, the mortar gun, the small-caliber, easy-to-carry mortar later developed into a mortar. The most representative of this is Qi Jiguang's tiger squat cannon, which already has the characteristics of a mortar.

When you have wrought iron, you can further make an iron tiger squat cannon, and if you are making a metal fixed cannonball, it will be a veritable mortar. Although the process will be very long, if you really get it, it will be invincible.

By that time, you will really be able to form an artillery unit, and you can even experience the scene of a thousand cannons firing at once, of course, you must have enough money, and now you can only fantasize about it. However, Zhu Yijun feels that if he works hard in this direction, he will definitely be able to do it.

Waving his hand at Chen Ju, Zhu Yijun said, "Okay, I know, keep working hard!" ”

Chen Ju bowed and stepped aside, he also felt a little embarrassed in his heart, it had been so long and spent so much money, but there was no result so far. But Chen Ju also knows that this thing can't be in a hurry!

When he first arrived at the War Bureau, Chen Ju really didn't take this to heart, and he couldn't make iron if he had money?

But now he knows that there are some things that he can't play with money. I used all the rewards that the emperor said, but I still didn't wait to solve the problem, and the rest can only rely on time to get it slowly.

Zhu Yijun turned his gaze to Xu De and asked, "How are you doing over there?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the first batch of trained spies have been dispatched, and they will each go to the capital city to form a new network of spies." Xu De hurriedly said: "With the addition of those people in the original pear orchard, the inner factory will soon be completed." ”

"At that time, all the two capitals and thirteen provinces will have the eyeliner of our internal factory, and the slaves and maids have already let them start to infiltrate the yamen in various places."

"According to what the emperor said, starting from the officials of the yamen, I have mastered the information in the yamen little by little."

Zhu Yijun nodded with satisfaction, this is right, this is the intelligence organization he wants. Maybe its development is still deformed, but there is no way, I need them to do this, I need them to provide themselves with information about this.

"Complete the structure of the inner factory as soon as possible, and let people focus on Fujian." Zhu Yijun thought about it and said.

Although Xu De didn't know why the emperor asked him to put his hands in Fujian, Xu De knew that this was not what he should ask, so he bowed down and said, "Yes, the emperor, the slave and maid will arrange it when they go back, and it will be completed soon." ”

Zhu Yijun nodded, Fujian is a good place, and in the next two years, it will attract the main attention of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Juzheng, who proposed to settle accounts and implement a whip method, would eventually choose a place to be a pilot, and this place was chosen in Fujian. Zhu Yijun naturally wants to pay attention there, and more importantly, there are things that Zhu Yijun is interested in in Fujian.

For example, the maritime merchants of Fujian, such as the pirates of Fujian, such as the rich families of Fujian.

For these things, Zhu Yijun is really very interested, anyway, Zhang Juzheng went to Fujian to settle the accounts and fields, implement a whip method, and he happened to check these people in the back. Jiangnan is definitely going to be cleaned up, and now is the opportunity to find out.

"Chen Ju, how did you do to find a craftsman?" Seeing Xu De's promise, Zhu Yijun nodded and turned his gaze to Chen Ju again.

This matter was still thought of by Zhu Yijun a few days ago, and it is not possible to have wrought iron without skilled craftsmen. The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are not having a good time, and Zhu Yijun is ready to let the War Bureau get some skilled craftsmen.

The realization of the ideas in your own head requires people to operate, and there is no more suitable one in Daming.

"Back to the emperor, all the craftsmen are on the side of the Ministry of Industry, and it is not easy for the military bureau to have important people!" Chen Ju thought about it and said with some embarrassment.

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the military war bureau really has no deterrent effect, although the status of craftsmen is low, but for officials, these craftsmen are also treasures. On weekdays, most of these people do private work for them, and it is not easy to snatch people out of their hands!

However, professional things should be done by professional people, and if the War Bureau and Chen Ju are not good, then let the people who do it do it.

Anyway, Zhang Whale is about to make a deal with Zhang Juzheng, and by the way, he has done this matter, which is not a big deal. Glancing at Chen Ju, Zhu Yijun opened his mouth and said, "Okay, I know, I will let the people over there do it in Dongchang." ”

After roughly figuring out the affairs of Chen Ju and Xu De, Zhu Yijun was ready to pay attention to the next attention to the settlement field and a whip method proposed by Zhang Juzhengxin.

Sure enough, in the next few days, this matter spread in the capital, and everyone knew that Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, was going to reform, and it was not a small change, but a big change. The land is cleared, and the hidden land is taxed.

According to legal principles, Zhang Juzheng's approach is completely in line with legal principles, and it is very justifiable.

It's just that things in this world can't be done in the name of righteousness, everyone has enjoyed this kind of treatment for so many years, and now it's suddenly gone, isn't this snatching meat from everyone's mouths to eat?

In later generations, there were a large number of people who evaded taxes and evaded taxes, not to mention the Ming Dynasty, and there was a feeling of excitement in an instant.

These gentry have a few tens or hundreds of acres of land, and many are thousands of acres, even tens of thousands of acres, and there are many people with tens of thousands of acres. There are only a few tax-exempt ones, which is a drop in the bucket! Let them pay taxes, and if they can feel good in their hearts, there will be ghosts.

What's more, I don't want to take it if I have a lot of land!

Everyone used to come over like this, they didn't pay taxes, they didn't have a good life, why did you have to pay taxes when Zhang Juzheng came up? In an instant, there were more people who opposed Zhang Juzheng, but the momentum was huge.

Zhu Yijun knew the situation in the capital clearly through the east factory and the inner factory, and seeing so many people standing up, Zhu Yijun was angry and a little helpless. This is the status quo of the Ming Dynasty, this is just to settle the accounts of the fields, find out the hidden land, what if the tax exemption privilege is abolished?

In Zhu Yijun's view, the easiest way is actually to cancel the tax-free privilege, no matter who you have, you will pay taxes if you have land, and you will directly spread the land into the mu, but it is not possible now! Thinking of this, Zhu Yijun sighed again.
