One million taels of silver, which seems like a lot.

But it can also be divided into whom.

At least for Zheng Yongji, it is not very difficult to get a million taels of silver.

Zheng Yongji's family is already wealthy, and his wife is a good housekeeper, so she took out a million taels of silver, although she didn't say that she had it with her hand, but if she wanted to squeeze it at home, she could still take it out.

After selling a few more shops, the atonement money was finally handed over, and Zheng Yongji finally came out of the Jinyi Guard's prison.

In just a month, Zheng Yongji successively sold all his properties in the capital, and went south from the capital to Kaifeng Mansion in southern Henan.

In fact, as soon as Zheng Yongji was released from prison, the newly appointed eunuch Xiao Fuzi, who was the master of ceremonies, found Zheng Yongji and gave him a notebook written by Zhang Lingyang himself.

With this copybook, Zheng Yongji can withdraw no more than 10 million taels of cash from any royal bank in Dazhou.

Of course, the purpose of this silver, Xiaofuzi also made it clear to Zheng Yongji, that is, to build Luoyang City.

After Xiaofuzi said the five words 'building Luoyang City', Zheng Yongji, who has always had a keen sense of political smell, understood that Zhang Lingyang was preparing for the relocation of the capital.

Although Xiaofuzi didn't say it explicitly, Zheng Yongji still thought of it immediately.

Otherwise, for no reason, how could Zhang Lingyang build Luoyang City?

In this regard, Zheng Yongji is actually supportive.

Because whether it is from the political, economic, and cultural aspects, the current capital is indeed not suitable to become the capital.

When Emperor Taizong set the capital in the capital, he was opposed by countless courtiers.

But Emperor Taizong is a strong man, and the more you oppose it, the more he does it.

By now, the population of the capital has reached one million, and all kinds of pressures are coming, especially in terms of food.

Fortunately, with the support of the canal, otherwise, the capital would not be able to feed millions of residents, even if it was to feed 300,000, I am afraid that it would be a little difficult.

Zheng Yongji understands this, how could Zhang Lingyang, who came from later generations, not understand, so he wants to move the capital......

……

After Zheng Yongji left Beijing, the ministers of the DPRK and China breathed a sigh of relief.

As the 'culprit', Zheng Yongji was only demoted to the governor of a province, which can be said to be loud and rainy.

For those ministers who are just involved in it, the final punishment result will definitely be worse than Zheng Yongji.

Sure enough, in the end, the ministers who participated in them were fined three and five hundred thousand taels of atonement silver, and the previous sins were written off.

Three and a half million taels of silver, for a well-to-do family, it is not difficult to raise it.

But for those who spend extravagantly, it's not a small amount.

Fortunately, Royal Bank offers loans.

The ministers, who had been fined silver, pledged their estates to the Royal Bank, and they were able to raise enough money to atonement for their sins.

Of course, because Zhang Lingyang had already passed the mouth, the Royal Bank did not accept properties near the capital.

After all, moving the capital is already an imminent matter, and if the ministers' industries in Beijing are confiscated at the current market price, once Zhang Lingyang officially issues the order to move the capital, I am afraid that these industries will depreciate significantly.

Therefore, in order to avoid losses, the Royal Bank did not accept the minister's mortgage on the property in Beijing.

Of course, the minister, who didn't know the news, was reluctant to mortgage the property in Beijing.

Who in the whole world doesn't know that every inch of land in Beijing is deposited in silver, and it is too late for them to buy it, so how can they mortgage it?

Therefore, this regulation of the Royal Bank is a bit chicken.

In the harem, after Zheng Guifei learned that her father Zheng Yongji was released from prison, she cried with joy.

Especially after hearing the news that Zheng Yongji was only demoted to the governor of southern Henan, the happy Zheng Guifei didn't care about makeup, and hurriedly went to the Heart Cultivation Hall to thank her.

Although Zhang Lingyang has been busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty during this time, he has not spoiled the concubines in the harem.

But I also know that because of Zheng Yongji's incident, Zheng Guifei washes her face with tears every day.

Now, as expected, it was.

Compared with the previous plumpness, the current Zheng Guifei is obviously a little thinner and out of appearance.

After appeasing Concubine Zheng Guifei, Zhang Lingyang let her go to the palace to rest.

After all, it has been less than two months since the Yangzhou incident, and in order to avoid sequelae, Zhang Lingyang has not dared to contact women.

Besides, these days, Zhang Lingyang is indeed very busy.

In addition to dealing with the affairs of Zheng Yongji and other ministers, he also had to pay attention to the march of the 6,000 royal troops from time to time.

On the other hand, with the arrival of thousands of experts and scholars sent by Pierre, Da Zhou's scientific and technological level has once again reached a new level.

On the Tianjin Wei side, the newly developed steamship has been built, and the royal navy has officially taken over and begun daily training.

On the other hand, with the large-scale introduction of machinery and equipment, there is finally a trace of industrialization near the western suburbs of Beijing.

At a coal mine, the final commissioning of coal mining equipment is underway.

Mining equipment is also being installed at a small iron ore mine.

For these machinery and equipment, skilled skilled workers are obviously more able to play than those experts and scholars.

Under their teaching, there are already former industrial workers in the vicinity of Xishan, who are busy around the emerging construction site.

This is just the beginning.

With the continuous graduation of students from the Royal Academy of the Great Zhou, Zhang Lingyang believes that the industrialization process of the Great Zhou will advance by leaps and bounds.

It is said that the land south of the Yangtze River is seven mountains, two rivers and one field, but in fact, compared to the entire Great Zhou, why not?

Mountains, rivers, and lakes cover more than seventy percent of the land of the Great Zhou.

And these barren mountains are undoubtedly not a place to cultivate food.

Although these mountains and rivers have been developed to some extent because of the mineral deposits.

But for the entire Great Zhou Minerals, the mineral deposits that have been developed now are just a drop in the bucket.

The vast majority of mineral deposits are still buried deep in the ground and do not see the light of day, waiting for future generations to mine and excavate......

At the Royal Academy, Dr. William, a medical expert from England, successfully refined a medicine for the Black Death through several Chinese herbal medicines after a brief understanding of the pharmacology of Chinese medicine.

This drug, if mass-produced, would be cheaper than the previous pills and, crucially, more effective.

Through experiments, Dr. William discovered that the Black Death could be cured with just one course of treatment. The previous pills, which required at least three courses of treatment, were needed to completely cure the Black Death.

The results are clear at a glance.

There was no need for Zhang Lingyang's instructions at all, and after the experiment was successful, the hospital organized manpower to start large-scale production......
