Chapter 70: The Rise of the Empire (7)

After promulgating the holy decree of various reforms, Chongzhen did not give those ministers a chance to speak, and directly let people announce their retirement from the dynasty and return to the palace, the reform of any era is full of resistance, although he issued the holy decree, but his current control over the empire can only ensure that the capital and several nearby cities operate according to their own will, and no matter how far away, who knows how those corrupt officials at the bottom will execute.

Now the top priority is to carry out their own policies in an all-round way, meet the more stable south, the north suffered from war and natural disasters, now the social order is close to collapse, the northern families and wealthy families in the uprising of the rebellion of the first to bear the brunt, the influence of the great weakened, as long as they stabilize the chaos in the north, in the process of re-establishing a new order, it is the best time to carry out their own reform.

Chongzhen, who was lying on the dragon bed, thought about the future of himself and Daming, and unconsciously fell into a deep sleep, Wang Chengen, who was standing on the side, saw Chongzhen asleep, and gently called 2 eunuchs to guard in front of Chongzhen's bed, and he rushed back to Xichang to deal with the information from all over the world.

The ministers of the outside world, in the face of Chongzhen's series of reforms, were a little out of touch at the beginning, and felt that the sky was going to change all of a sudden, but after a period of time, many people reflected, and found that these things had nothing to do with themselves Ah Village, and they didn't hesitate, but the eyes of the group of officials who looked at the Criminal Department began to change, after Chongzhen's toss, the Criminal Department can be said to be completely separated from the political center, the officials of the Criminal Department are not allowed to go to the court if they have nothing to do, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is not allowed to enter the cabinet, and unfortunately, officials are not allowed to be transferred. This is exactly the same nature as a special institution like the Jinyi Weidong Factory, independent of the court, only accepting the emperor's orders, and the officials of the court and China have always been united and resisted by such institutions.

After half a ring, Chongzhen woke up quietly, woke up from sleep, the feeling of dizziness finally disappeared, and the whole person was much more relaxed.

"Come on, help me change clothes" With Chongzhen's shout, a large group of palace maids immediately surrounded Chongzhen, helping themselves to dress clothes, combing their hair, and more specially helping themselves wash their faces and brush their teeth.

"What about the big companion" Chongzhen washed up here, turned his head and didn't find Wang Chengen, you must know that Wang Chengen is usually by his side.

"Go back to the emperor, princess, go back to the imperial horse eunuch, do you want to pass on the audience to the little one" Wang Chengen arranged the two little eunuchs beside him, among which Chongzhen named Liu Jiguang still had some impressions, and it was he who answered his question this time.

"Since the eldest companion is busy and there is nothing big about it, there is no need to call him, you two go and arrange it, I am going to go to the military battle" For the two little eunuchs that Wang Chengen arranged for himself, Chongzhen's feeling is still good, and they are all quite clever, especially this Liu Jiguang.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live" outside the gate of the War Bureau, a eunuch led a group of eunuchs and craftsmen to welcome Chongzhen's arrival outside the door.

"Get up, I remember the last time I came, why was the leading eunuch not there" Chongzhen remembered that the first time he came to the War Bureau, it was not the little eunuch in front of him who managed the War Bureau, but a middle-aged eunuch.

"Back to the emperor, the eunuch who originally managed the military battle bureau was dragged away in front of the main hall some time ago and died, and the little one is new" The little eunuch returned cautiously, for fear of making Chongzhen unhappy, and he couldn't eat and walked around.

"Have the things I ordered before been made" Chongzhen sent a lot of simple drawings to the War Bureau some time ago, and now that the War Bureau has changed, I don't know if the things I want have been done.

"The emperor wants everything ready" joke, you are the emperor, what you want, let alone change the supervisor, even if the people of the entire military war bureau are changed, you must ensure that you get them all out before this.

The school yard of the War Bureau has already been filled with weapons of various formats, some of which are European weapons imitated according to the drawings brought by the group of Westerners, some are made by Chongzhen whimsically based on the simple drawings he drawn, and there are the original weapons of the Ming Dynasty, which are varied, not spectacular.

Chongzhen cares most about the flintlock pistol, the first thing to pick up is the flintlock pistol, the craftsmanship is not bad, and the appearance is quite beautiful, that man doesn't like guns, although it is just a flintlock pistol, it is also a gun, pick up the paper bag with gunpowder around him, fill the gunpowder, fill the projectile, raise his hand and want to shoot two shots, but think of the first time he came here, which unlucky soldier tried to blow up the hall, so Chongzhen picked up the flintlock pistol and pointed at Liu Jiguang, who was following him, "Come here, try the power of this gun"

Liu Jiguang, who was named by Chongzhen, in order to show himself, picked up the gunfight and stood in the school yard, and fired a shot at the scarecrow in armor in the distance, with his eyes closed, but what Chongzhen didn't expect was that he actually hit it, and he actually hit it with his eyes closed.

Let people take the armor that was put on the scarecrow in the distance, and found that it was pierced, and the power was not bad, "How much can this gun be made every month" Chongzhen turned his head to look at the new little eunuch in charge of the War Bureau.

"Back to the emperor, these are made according to the methods taught by those Westerners, under the condition of ensuring quality, they can currently produce five hundred per month, according to the news given by the Ministry of Industry, when the gun factory is built, and the newly recruited workers are familiar with the manufacturing method, the monthly output can reach 1,500 to 2,000 In this way, no matter how much, its quality cannot be guaranteed." Obviously, the new soldier's ability to manage affairs is still good, which is more reliable than the original one.

"You did a good job, the war bureau will be under your management in the future, after you go back, all the craftsmen's groups are numbered, and all the parts produced are engraved with the numbers produced by that group, if the same batch of weapons produced by which group has 2 explosions, one of the random groups will be pulled out and killed" Chongzhen believes that in this way, the reliability of the quality of the flintlock pistol will be greatly improved.

"Slave Xie Emperor" The little eunuch knelt down to thank him, with the emperor's words, as long as he does not make a big mistake in the military battle, then his position will be as stable as Mount Tai, as for the life and death of those craftsmen, what does it have to do with our family.

"Get up, make statistics, in the future, for every ten qualified firearms produced by craftsmen, they will be paid one or two pieces of silver, and all the families where the craftsmen are located will be exempted from all taxes during the period of their work." If Chongzhen gives this salary in the later generations, it is really an authentic black-hearted businessman, but this is a feudal society, Chongzhen gives money is a good treatment, and the most important thing is that Chongzhen exempts the family of this group of people from paying taxes, which is much more valuable.
