Chapter 196: Workshop or Palace
As soon as he arrived at East Chang'an Street, Gu Dayong realized that something was wrong.
Although he came quickly, more than 2,000 people fell on the street, but it was not so easy to clean up. What's more, no one dared to watch Jinyiwei's fight, but Jinyiwei hit the street, this is very interesting, and there is no danger, so it is also crowded at this time, and there are many onlookers.
Gu Da's carriage is also difficult to move an inch, but the matter is urgent, you must know, I heard that Xie Hong is in a crisis here, Zhengde is anxious enough, it is impossible to delay. The fat man had no choice but to get out of the carriage and squeeze into the crowd.
Originally, he wanted to inquire about the situation with the onlookers, but these onlookers were all later, and those who watched the live broadcast were all shrunk in various yamen, and as a result, he inquired about all kinds of news, and there was everything.
Some say that it is Jinyiwei's infighting, this is true, Qian Ning's summons said that the offender was the people from Beizhen Fusi, but the person who spoke couldn't explain why the people lying on the ground were all in a group.
There are also people who have seen the people of Shuntianfu and Wucheng Soldiers and Horses, saying that these two yamen have eliminated harm for the people and cleaned up the brocade guards on both sides, and there are many people who believe in this statement.
In fact, Jin Yiwei is somewhat close to the gendarmes of later generations, and he does not negotiate much with the people, and most of the cases he handles are against hundreds of officials. At the beginning, there was more surveillance of military attachΓ©s, but later the civilian officials were powerful, and the Jinyi Guard also kept pace with the times, becoming a nightmare for civilian officials.
The fate of offending civil officials is bleak, and there will be reprisals at all levels, and reputation is one of them. Don't look at the leadership of Mu Bin, Jin Yiwei is very well-behaved, but after all kinds of propaganda by the literati, Jin Yiwei's reputation among the people is very poor. The scholars and doctors are all upright men and gentlemen, and their enemies are naturally not good things.
Therefore, no matter which statement you believe, after seeing the tragic situation of Jinyiwei, the onlookers were elated. Gu Dayong is becoming more and more frightened, with the participation of Shuntianfu, it will be fatal, if Xie Hong's side is defeated, I am afraid that people have already been arrested by Shuntianfu, with the resentment of the courtiers towards him, at this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to collect the complete corpse, how will the Long Live Lord explain it?
Nervous, Gu Dayong still moved to the Nanzhen Fusi Yamen with difficulty, no matter what, he had to figure out the situation, and then give a reply to the Long Live Lord.
As soon as he entered the gate, the fat man was stunned, Xie Hong didn't even lose a single cold hair, and was energetically talking to a group of craftsmen-looking people to say something, the group of craftsmen were listening attentively, and from time to time someone let out exclamations.
Gu Dayong was at a loss, what is the situation? It seems that Brother Xie's side won? But looking at his focused appearance, how can it be like the brawl didn't happen at all? That's a brawl of thousands!
The people on duty in the yamen who were dressed in mixed colors, the fat man also knew it, and knew that it was the border army that escorted Zhengde back to Beijing, and Gu Dayong had also seen the world in Xuanfu, so he could understand why these people were stronger than the brocade guards in the capital.
But these guys are also from the east and west, and they are all lazy, and they have never experienced a big battle at all.
"Brother Gu, you're here." In a daze, the fat man heard someone greet him, and turned his head to see that it was Qian Ning.
Seeing that Qian Ning also had a sneering expression on his face at this time, Gu Dayong hurriedly asked, "Brother Qian, what is going on today?" Your summons is so urgent, and what you said is serious, Long Live Lord is in a hurry enough, brother, I am also in a hurry, but this ......" He spread his hands and stared at Qian Ning in confusion.
"Alas, it's a long story," Qian Ning sighed, told the story again, and defended himself: "Brother Gu, it's not that the younger brother is alarmist, you didn't see the situation at the time, there was a lot ......of black pressure outside, but Brother Xie has been provocative, do you think I can not be in a hurry?" Who would have thought this would be the case? β
Gu Da glared at the boss with his eyes, and his mouth was also stumbling, and he asked inarticulately: "Brother Qian, do you mean that Lord Xie deliberately provoked trouble, and then took the opportunity to destroy the prestige of Jinyiwei?" But Jinyiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and the majesty of destroying Jinyiwei is not the majesty of destroying the Lord of Long Life? β
"That's not it, the younger brother has also asked about this, and what Brother Xie said makes sense......"
Qian Ning repeated Xie Hong's words again, and then expressed his opinion: "Actually, think about it, why do you raise a dog that doesn't bite people?" Don't talk about you and me over there, even if it is the emperor's decree, he loves to ignore it, if it is abolished, it would be better, didn't he still talk about the West Factory in the womb a while ago? β
"Tsk, that's really the case." The fat man also thought so, especially when he talked about Xichang, his eyes lit up, he smashed his mouth, and asked, "Then what is Brother Xie doing now?" β
Qian Ning glanced back at Xie Hong and said stupidly: "He said: If you fight, you will fight, what should you do." We look at the same thing, and people don't pay attention to it at all. No, he didn't know where to find some craftsmen, all carpenters and bricklayers, saying that they were going to rebuild the yamen. β
"Remodeling?" Gu Dayong was confused again.
"Yes, remodeling." Qian Ning nodded, "Brother Xie said that the current layout of the building is unreasonable and not conducive to secrecy, so it will be demolished and rebuilt." Oh, by the way, even the exterior walls have to be rebuilt, and he says that the exterior walls are too thin and low now, which is a safety hazard. β
The fat man looked up at the two-person high outer wall, and then looked at the hot scene on Xie Hong's side, he was speechless, whether this is the style of a general, or is it heartless? Even if he won the battle today, and he took advantage of it, but for such a big matter, the end of the hand is indispensable, why doesn't Brother Xie pay attention to it at all.
But now is not the time to sigh or be in a daze, long live the Lord is still waiting. After figuring out the situation, Gu Dayong first breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered his other mission. Seeing that Xie Hong's side was still endless, he simply went up directly, and the fat man was also curious about what Xie Hong was talking about.
ββ¦β¦ In short, the layout is the most important link, not only to meet the process requirements, but also to make reasonable use of space, and the most important thing is confidentiality and security. Therefore, the following principles should be observed: ease of transportation...... Ensuring safety ...... Finally, the need for future renovations and expansions should be taken into account......"
said it was a discussion, but Xie Hong was the only one who talked about it, and those craftsmen only occasionally asked questions or praised. What Xie Hong said is not very profound, every word is understood by a fat man, but when it is said together, Gu Dayong can't understand it at all.
Isn't it very simple to have a stove like a workshop? How did it get so complicated to get to the brothers? The principles alone are seven or eight points.
"The ironworks are a top priority, so they are located in the central area, and the roads around them need to be smooth and sturdy to make them easy to transport...... Gunpowder workshops are dangerous, so they should be located on the edges...... Assemble...... Quality...... The lounge, by the way, also dig a waterway, easy to access, and can be used as an assembly line in the future, well, I will get a waterwheel in the future......"
Xie Hong said happily, looking back on the past, emphasizing the present, and by the way, looking forward to the future.
Gu Dayong was completely stunned, this is a workshop? It's not so much elaborate to build a palace in the Forbidden City, right? He wasn't curious anymore, because he had already determined that he couldn't keep up with Xie Hong's train of thought.
So he coughed, interrupted Xie Hong's tirade, and then ignored the angry eyes of the craftsmen, and said curtly: "Lord Xie, long live the lord has ordered, saying that if you are okay, please enter the palace." β
As soon as he said this, even Xie Hong, everyone who heard it was shocked, is there anything else to do when the emperor summons him? That's the summons of the Son of Heaven, what can be bigger than this? I have long heard that this Lord Xie is the number one celebrity in front of the car, and now it seems that this rumor is not exaggerated at all, but it is not detailed enough.
Thinking that before I came, I was still a little reluctant, and everyone was secretly ashamed. Master Xie is not only knowledgeable, skilled, but also generous, so many secrets are taught to everyone without care, in addition, even thoughtful preparation of the lounge!
After all these years, how have you ever heard of someone preparing a rest room for craftsmen in the workshop? It's really a blessing to follow such an adult!
These craftsmen were asked by Xie Hong to come to Zeng Jian, Zeng Jian is a scholar of the Ministry of Industry, and he has worked silently for a long time for the affairs of craftsmen. Although the old man couldn't openly mobilize the resources of the Ministry of Industry to Xie Hong, he could use a lot of manpower and material resources in private, except for blacksmiths, carpenters and other common ones, and even shipwrights.
Yesterday, Xie Hong was promoted, knowing that he would soon have his own territory, and he immediately sent a letter to Zeng Jian, and the eagerness in the old man's heart was no less than Xie Hong, and he sent someone over after only one day.
With manpower, or a highly credible manpower, Xie Hong was naturally very happy, and began to prepare in a hurry, as for the mess outside, he had already left it behind.
But Gu Dayong suddenly came out and said this, but he was startled. How could Zhengde have spoken so considerately? That young man is a anxious surname, if he wants to see people and can't see them, it is possible for him to run over, regardless of whether you have something to do.
If you want something, you will desperately urge it, and you can't wait for people to make it for him without sleeping, how can you be so polite and considerate? Xie Honghu looked at Gu Dayong suspiciously, and said in his heart: This fat man can't be a mutiny, right? Otherwise, why is this oracle so strange?
Seeing that everyone was stunned, Gu Dayong also reacted, it was his mistake. Oral oracles are usually spoken in the original words of the emperor, of course, different people have different ways of transmitting words.
Gu Dayong was shocked too much today, so much so that he was stunned and directly retold Zhengde's original words. When Zhengde said this, he was getting the news that the Tiqi was besieging Xie Hong on a large scale, and he said this out of worry, but this retelling was ambiguous.
"Long live the Lord means, if you are not injured, enter the palace quickly, Your Majesty has something to discuss with you." The fat man hurriedly explained.
"What happened to the court today?" Xie Hong was taken aback, the last time he entered the palace was for the affairs of the Korean envoys and the imperial village, what is it for today? Could it be that the money has not arrived?
Gu Da looked left and right cautiously, and then pulled Xie Hong aside, and then said in a low voice: "It's not our family on duty today, so our family doesn't know the specifics, but when the Long Live Lord came out, he was a little angry, and what happened to the court in the past, right?" β
"Can't these people stop for two days?" Interrupted in excitement, Xie Hongda was unhappy and scolded hatefully.
"Who's to say it isn't?" The fat man also sighed and said: "When the emperor was here, it was like this, if something was not in line with the courtiers' wishes, they would change their tricks and play tricks, and if they didn't achieve their goal, they would definitely not stop." β
