268 Daming Royal Cement Company
"Kill the captives and sacrifice the flag to send the loyal martyrs!" When several loud Han generals saw the will, they roared in unison, and their voices were loud, echoing over Fengtianmen Square.
As this shout sounded, the white-pole soldier holding the broadsword raised his blade in the cold light and sparkled with a cold light, and swung it down one after another, and suddenly, one by one, the heads of the Jianyu were detached from the body, and blood spurted out of the neck cavity. The white-pole soldier holding the tail of the money rat raised the head of Jianyu, as if holding a lantern, to show it in the direction of the Ming martyrs.
Those soldiers of the Beijing camp holding the Ming Loyal Martyrs Spiritual Plaque solemnly walked forward along the road lined up by the heads of the Jianyu, and slowly walked towards the Ming Loyal Martyrs Hall. Almost at the same time, the loud Han generals shouted loudly: "Salute! ”
All the soldiers, whether they were the soldiers of the White Pole Army, the soldiers of the Beijing Battalion, or the soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, all performed their own military salutes. And Emperor Chongzhen and hundreds of civil and military officials, as well as the people who watched the ceremony, paid attention to the salute, and watched the Ming martyrs walk slowly, and the road that was still dripping blood walked towards the Ming Martyrs' Hall.
At this moment, no one felt cruel, and no one was too scared to look at it. In their hearts, it has been a long time since they longed to see Jianyu being corrected. When I see it at this moment, I can't wait to blink my eyes, looking forward to imprinting this moment in my mind, and I won't forget it in the future.
In the next ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen will reap countless achievement points for every action, and it will not be until nearly noon that the ceremony is completed and he will return to the palace.
The next arrangement is to open the Daming Martyrs' Hall to ordinary people to worship. It is said that the people who watched the ceremony refused to leave, and formed a long queue, waiting to enter the martyr's hall to offer incense and take it with them.
"Hehe, Your Majesty, didn't you see that the officials under the Ministry of War were in charge of selling incense, and his face was so happy that he smiled...... "Wang Chengen leaned next to Emperor Chongzhen, describing the situation in front of the Martyrs' Hall with his own eyes, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.
In this case, Emperor Chongzhen didn't need to say it, he could guess it. He even bet that if the Ministry of Rites can't figure it out, he will go back to the chapter, saying that the Daming Martyrs' Hall is a matter of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites will be responsible.
Thinking like this, his face was very indifferent, and he waved his hand to Wang Chengen and ordered: "The hour is almost up, let the ministers go to court!" ”
At noon, let the courtiers go to lunch, rest for a while, and hold an informal court meeting. The royal family and nobles in the Beijing Division, and the civil and military officials above the fifth rank must participate.
There are two main types of this informal court meeting, one is to seal Qin Liangyu, a white pole army, as a loyal martyr. At this time, the earl is still very valuable.
Qin Liangyu is still a woman, she was knighted by the emperor, even if she has been in battle for a long time, killed countless enemies, experienced countless dangers, and has long been strong in her heart, but at this moment, her eyes are red, she knelt down and leaned over, and said excitedly: "There is only one woman in the end, how can he be so virtuous, he has to be so valued by His Majesty." The last general is willing to be His Majesty's minions, open his eyes for the court, and be loyal to the country! ”
"Huh!" Emperor Chongzhen smiled and stretched out his hand to signal, "Qin Qing, hurry up!" Qing's meritorious deeds are obvious to all, and the words loyalty and martyrdom are really compatible! I have said that the Ming Dynasty is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will not be loyal to the martyrs. Now I would like to add that as long as anyone contributes to the imperial court and the Ming Empire, I will not lose it! ”
Qin Liangyu listened, thanked him again and again, and then returned to the queue. witnessed the scene in front of the Loyal Martyrs' Hall in the morning, and now she heard the emperor's statement, and she also received such a heavy national grace, not to mention that she was originally loyal, even if she didn't have it before, she must have it at this time.
In this way, after Man Gui, another earl appeared, which immediately made all the generals blush. They knew that Emperor Chongzhen was really generous, that is to say, the subsequent new army selected the most soldiers, and he would definitely fulfill the promise of being knighted.
Emperor Chongzhen glanced down and found that in the queue of military generals, all of them seemed to be in a lot of energy, raising their heads and chests, not squinting, hehe, as if they had inadvertently used a trick to buy bones.
He didn't care about this anymore, looked down, and said loudly: "I have two cements now, one is the Daming Martyrs' Hall, and the other is the Daming Central Bank......"
As soon as they heard this, all the courtiers below did not know what the emperor wanted to say, but there was a new thing in the topic, and they were all very curious, so they listened attentively.
"The Daming Martyrs' Hall has been opened, I believe you have all seen it; The Daming Central Bank has also been completed, and the interior is now being renovated and will be opened soon. When Emperor Chongzhen said this, he paused slightly, letting these courtiers have an idea, and then continued, "The Ming Martyrs' Hall must strictly prevent water from going away, and the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty must deposit gold and silver in other days, and it must also print Ming banknotes, which must be unbreakable." Building materials such as cement just meet these two requirements. Other than that......"
When the ministers heard this, their eyes lit up, and many courtiers began to consider whether to ask the emperor to reward them with cement.
"Compared with wood buildings, cement can also prevent decay, insects, rainwater cleaning, fast construction, and high floors. For what I said, you can feel it on the spot! ”
When the emperor said so, it must be true.
All the courtiers below, whether it is those royal relatives and nobles, or those civil ministers and military generals, can't help but have their eyes shining, such a good thing, since the emperor said it, is it ready to be rewarded to the courtiers? If that's the case, then you'll have to ask the emperor for some!
Emperor Chongzhen looked at their expressions on it, and could guess their thoughts at once, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, but he still maintained his original expression on the surface, and continued to say slowly: "Such a good thing, I don't want to cherish the broom, so I decided to take out the cement......"
As soon as they heard this, several princes and ministers were suddenly eager to try, and they wanted to go out of the list to ask for it first.
But Emperor Chongzhen obviously saw what they meant, so he quickened his speech and said loudly: "I have decided to establish the Daming Royal Cement Company to sell cement to the whole world, so that cement can be popularized in Daming and benefit the people!" ”
"......" All the courtiers were stunned when they heard this, they almost couldn't believe their ears, what do you mean, what does the emperor say to be established, is it used to sell cement?
Some erudite and talented officials immediately remembered Confucius's "Datong" and "Chronicles" that said: "The public, the wealth of several people, the division, the meaning of operation" Zhuangzi also said: "Accumulating disadvantages is high, merging small is big, merging is the way of the public, which is the company!" ”
Could it be that the company that the emperor said is this company?
