Chapter Eight: A New Beginning for the Ming Dynasty (2)
Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the stunned Sun Chengzong. And Sun Chengzong was really stunned, he never dreamed that this little emperor would have such a broad vision, which strengthened his belief in keeping up with the pace of the little emperor and expanding his territory.
"Now that our dynasty has killed two emperors one after another, the Jurchens will definitely take advantage of the instability of our dynasty and make trouble, but it is the cold season at present, and it is not suitable to use troops in the freezing weather in Liaodong, but the Jurchens will raise troops in the spring of the next year. Therefore, we must prepare now so that we can win the battle. Zhu Youxiao continued.
"Your Majesty," Sun Chengzong said, "the minister also thinks so. Since this is the case, then the minister will leave for Liaodong tomorrow and make preparations as soon as possible. ”
"Don't be busy, you go back to arrange things at home first, and then go to the military department to choose the generals you think are suitable to follow you to Liaodong. In addition, another 5,000 people were selected from the Shenji Battalion, and as many cannons and *s as they could. I'll give you something before I leave, and if you make good use of it, it may have an unexpected effect. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister retires." Seeing that Zhu Youxiao's words had been finished, Sun Chengzong said goodbye with great excitement.
This session is actually a reverse version of the "Longzhong pair". Because it is mainly Zhu Youxiao who speaks, Sun Chengzong listens, but it is different when it is transmitted outside, they all think that Sun Chengzong told Zhu Youxiao to listen, Zhu Youxiao is also happy to do so, otherwise, it is too incredible, this little emperor who has not read a book for a few days can have such a high ability.
"Find Luo Sigong here." Zhu Youxiao said to Wang An. Since Yang Yuan dared to escort Xiong Tingbi into Beijing, and Feng Sanyuan, Yao Zongwen, and Gu Yu joined forces to impeach, then there must be something greasy in this, and Yang Yuan may have no fear, so it is necessary to check Yang Yuan's roots in Liaoyang, lest Yang Yuan's dog jump off the wall in a hurry after Sun Chengzong goes, so that Liaodong may be completely lost, and Sun Chengzong will be in danger.
"Minister, Luo Sigong sees Your Majesty." Soon Luo Sigong came to the Qianqing Palace.
"Luo Sigong, I don't know how the Jinyi Guard is arranged in Liaodong, you tell me about it, so that I can understand." Zhu has filial piety.
Luo Sigong said: "Your Majesty, there are a lot of Jinyi guards in Liaodong, because Liaodong is a special place, and almost all of you have the manpower we arranged in the palace. I wonder what His Majesty's will is? ”
"You immediately arrange for your right-hand men to go to Liaodong to secretly investigate all the whereabouts of Governor Yang Yuan, and if necessary, you can use special means. Remember, it's all the whereabouts. "Zhu has filial piety.
Yes, all whereabouts." Luo Si replied.
When these things were arranged, Zhu Youxiao began to have a headache about money again, and he didn't have any good ideas for a while.
I remembered one thing, that is, how to use the knowledge he had, because he studied commodity science when he was in school, so he also had a general understanding of the manufacture of many daily commodities, so he first used the silver in the inner treasury to make some commodities to sell. Well, what to build first? Soap, soap. Because it is very simple to make these things, it is to use animal fat and plant ash, and then boil it with fire, stir, separate oil and water, pour it into a mold, and solidify it. Zhu Youxiao means to use national resources to manufacture, that is, to use caustic soda instead of plant ash, so that the proportion is easy to master, so that the army can also go to find caustic soda. Secondly, you can trade with Mongolia's Lin Dan Khan to obtain a large number of oil and fat raw materials, because the current Mongolians believe in Buddhism, they no longer eat the dead cattle and sheep, but directly discard, now the Ming Dynasty with grain, iron, tea these things to exchange, the price must be very cheap. Then they were taught to pay attention to hygiene, reduce diseases, develop good living habits, and sell them soap. Zhu Youxiao especially wants to make all kinds of soaps with different smells, and by the way, make back the money of those bigwigs, local tyrants, and prostitutes.
The second is to make glass, which is to use river sand or sea sand and then add natural soda with quicklime to heat and melt, and then guide it into the mold and polish it. The principle is simple, the processing technology is easy, and if you make a mirror, you can make a lot of money.
Zhu Youxiao has worked in the acquisition station for many years, especially proficient in the classification and sorting of waste products, and then sells these waste products to different processing plants, plus when he was in school, he also learned simple daily necessities processing and production principles, and then went to various processing plants to drink and chat with the factory directors, so Zhu Youxiao is no stranger to these and understands the principles. Since you understand the principle, then tell the theory to the person who specializes in work, which is called a specialization in the art industry, hehe, Zhu Youxiaole. Then find someone who can practice it and experiment with these things.
As for the outstanding scientist Zhu Youxiao of this period, he still remembers something, the most famous person is Xu Guangqi, as well as his apprentice Sun Yuanhua, as well as Song Yingxing, who compiled "Heavenly Creations", and Bi Maokang, who transformed firearms. Okay, now let the officials have a headache, anyway, these people have all passed the Xiucai, Renren, and Jinshi exams. Zhu Youxiao concluded that these people would definitely have records, and it should be possible for the officials to find these people.
In the secret room of the East Factory, Song Jin was instructing his two right-hand men: "Liu Liang, Feng Gui (apocryphal), call Shanggui's subordinates mobilized by the two of you, from today onwards, focus on monitoring Feng Sanyuan, Yao Zongwen, and Gu Yu, pay close attention to all their whereabouts, and see who they have contacted and what they have done during this period of time, no matter how big or small, even if they have visited the kiln a few times, the little wife has cuckolded them, found a few lovers, etc., any clues must be kept an eye on me, and if there is anything suspicious, report it immediately, There is a reward for doing a good job, but things are messed up, hum, you and I have to go to Nanjing to guard the spirit of Taizu. ”
Two days later, Liu Liang came to report: "My subordinates investigated and found that a few people with Liaodong accents had entered Feng Sanyuan's mansion a few days ago, and had also been to Yao Zongwen and Gu Yu's mansions, but they didn't stay for long, and now they are looking for these people with Liaodong accents." ”
On the morning of the third day of the next day, Feng returned to report: "According to the undercover agent planted by his subordinates in Feng Sanyuan's house, Feng Sanyuan entered the newly married aunt's room last night, and heard that his aunt asked Feng Sanyuan for a jasper bracelet, saying that it was really bad to give such a good thing to the second aunt, Feng Sanyuan took out another piece called phoenix tail jasper hairpin and gave it to her, and said that Governor Yang gave several pieces of jewelry, as long as you can serve a good master, the good thing is up to you." ”
Liaoyang Liaodong Governor's Mansion, Yang Yuan was sitting in the study, and standing in front of his desk was the housekeeper Yang Renzhi, Yang Renzhi listened respectfully to Yang Yuan's orders. Since the battle of Salhu last year, Yang Yuan has been terrified, Xiong Tingbi has been like a nail, staring at his every move, making him always feel like a man's back. Finally waited until the beginning of September, the Wanli Emperor died, and the Houjin Emperor Nurhachi led troops to attack Shenyang, originally thought that the court was unstable, the people's hearts were turbulent, and Nurhachi was bound to strike down, but Xiong Tingbi actually repelled Nurhachi's attack with high-wall artillery, which made Yang Yuan very depressed, and wanted to use Nurhachi's hand to get rid of Xiong Tingbi, a guy who was in the way, so that he could dominate Liaodong, how could Xiong Tingbi prepare well, not the turmoil of the army? For the sake of his own future and fate, Yang Yuan had to take risks, taking advantage of the fact that the little emperor had just ascended the throne, he privately imprisoned Xiong Tingbi in Beijing with his own rights, and let his subordinates quietly enter Beijing to deal with Beijing officials, and it was necessary to dismiss Xiong Tingbi from his official position.
This Xiong Tingbi really can't open his mind, and he begged him to let go of his nephew Yang Min as the governor, but this guy just refused, he had to go to Yang Min's death, and he always ruined his own financial path. Originally, since Li Chengliang's death, Yang Yuan has completely controlled everything by virtue of his years of operation in Liaodong, and he is simply the "King of Liaodong".
