After thanking each of those craftsmen, they were given half a bowl of porridge and were so excited that they were reluctant to eat it for a long time. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info it was after Su Song was forced by Lu Chengqi to eat a bowl of porridge that he was allowed to go to the test shooting range.

When the Ordnance Supervisor was set up in the northern suburbs of Chang'an City on the spot, a large area of open space was set aside for the future development of the Ordnance Supervisor and the test firing of long-range weapons. Rao was levied a commercial tax at that time, and he earned more than 2 million yuan. But all of a sudden, more than one million yuan was spent on the construction of the Ordnance Superintendent, the Royal University and the Royal Military Academy, which still made Xu Chongguang, who had just become the first assistant of the cabinet, feel distressed. is used to living a hard life, and now he has become rich, and Xu Chongguang's habit of slamming the door has not changed.

Especially the ordnance supervisor, invested so much money and silver to drum up a kind of divine bow, the divine arm bow. Although he won the Khitan army with this divine arm bow, he also forced the Khitan people to sign an agreement. But the investment of the ordnance supervisor is too great, if it weren't for the return of Chidao, I'm afraid that the officials of the household department would have complained.

There is no way, the historical limitations of the ancients could not see the development prospects of firearms, and it is understandable to only stare at cold weapons. These ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China did not understand this, and they had already handed over several telegrams, insinuating that the ordnance superintendent "spends a lot of money and does not produce enough blades," hoping to reduce the investment in the ordnance superintendent.

Lu Chengqi understands the thoughts of these ministers. All they think about is an open and honest embezzlement of public funds, even if Lu Chengqi decrees that when applying for the use of public funds, a plan for the use of public funds must be delivered. But these old fritters, who specialize in exploiting loopholes, have long understood the rules, and deliberately exaggerate where they want to use money, so that they can take more money from the household department and put it in their own pockets.

Lu Chengqi had already learned through the Supervision Department which official had unclean hands and feet. It's just that they are very cautious and don't take much each time, which makes Lu Chengqi feel that it is not educational enough, so he let them go. If they dared to embezzle more than 100 guan privately, Lu Chengqi would definitely depose them. Even if there has never been a precedent for the Great Shun Dynasty to depose officials, rules are meant to be broken, aren't they?

In the eyes of these officials, the money in the treasury is not taken for nothing. This is inseparable from the greedy and cheap character of the Chinese, and in this time and space, there is a supervision department closely supervised, and these officials are still desperate. It is no wonder that those big corrupt officials in later generations dared to take bribes, embezzle public funds, and spend public funds...... In their opinion, this money does not have to be wasted! Do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequality, especially officials who handle money, they have to handle so much money every day, and then compare their salaries, those who can control themselves from being greedy are already at the level of saints.

And there are very few upright courtiers like Li Jie, Li Ran, Su Song, Tang Xun, Shen Kuo, and Su Shi. Lu Chengqi's duty is to put these virtuous and talented courtiers in the right position. After all, Dashun has a vast territory, how can Lu Chengqi manage it alone? This is the origin of the emperor and the scholars ruling the world together.

Following Su Song's pace, Lu Chengqi came to the test firing range located behind the Ordnance Prison. For safety reasons, this test range is nearly twenty miles in circumference. The purchase of this land alone cost no less than 500,000 yuan.

If it is according to the practice of the Dashun court in the past, this "under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister", the court requisitioned your land because it looks up to you. The whole world belongs to the Lu family, and it is benevolent and righteous to use your family's land to give you a little compensation. In this way, both peasant households and gentry and landlords dare not speak out.

Lu Chengqi knew before his rebirth that those who forcibly occupied people's land, forcibly expropriated people's land, and did not give compensation would make a lot of trouble in the future. This field is the lifeblood of the farmer, and losing the land is equivalent to losing the job, and if you don't pay compensation, isn't that forcing people to die?

It is right to be cruel to the enemy, but to be cruel to its own people, it is stupid and coercive. Lu Chengqi would rather offend all the scholars in the world than offend the farmers who really decided the fate of Dashun. Xiucai rebelled, and after ten years, Lu Chengqi was not worried. His fear was that if the peasants had no livelihood and were organized by ambitious people, it would be over. Regardless of whether it is suppressed in the end, it will cause great damage to the local area, and I don't know how many years it will take to recover. Therefore, Lu Chengqi strictly ordered the household department to compensate these peasant households in full according to the market price.

The peasants who had been expropriated had already accepted their fate and planned to work as tenant farmers for the landlords of Jingzhao Mansion, but they did not expect the imperial court to be so "considerate of the people's feelings" that they sent a full amount of money the next day.

The land price of Chang'an City is not too much to describe as an inch of land. Even the fields in the suburbs are sold for 50 yuan per acre. When the farmers received this huge amount of money, they all knelt down in the direction of Chang'an City and bowed again and again, and said with tears in their eyes: "Long live the saint, long live the saint!" ”

This scene made the inspectors who came to deliver the money see it and were also moved by it. They were born in the border army, and they were poor people before they joined the army, if the world was ruled by a small emperor, why did they choose to be a soldier This road of no return? There is a way that good iron does not nail, and good men do not serve as soldiers. If there is a way to live, who is willing to be a soldier? The border was not very peaceful, and the Khitans would go south every year to fight the grass valley, and they would die on the battlefield with bad luck. If there was a way to survive like these farmers, they wouldn't be the big soldiers. It's just a drink and a peck for their own days, they are not soldiers, where do they have the status of today's inspectors?

The inspectors also vaguely understood why Lu Chengqi wanted to buy people's hearts so much. In fact, these farmers really don't want much, as long as they can survive. No, with this money, if you go to the remote areas of Jingzhao Mansion to buy fields, you can become a small landlord.

After Lu Chengqi made his will, he rarely pursued these things. He knew that if someone disobeyed the holy decree, he would definitely be impeached by the Imperial Observatory. These imperial historians only hate that no official has been impeached, lest they have nothing to do. Moreover, Lu Chengqi handles state affairs every day, where he can be comprehensive and pay a little attention to it, it is all "holy grace".

Only if Lu Chengqi cares about something, he will put down state affairs and come to watch, such as this huge thing in front of him. Lu Chengqi was stunned: "This ...... Is this artillery? ”

Su Song and Tang Xun were all proud, nodded, and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to wait for your Majesty to test the power of this cannon?" ”

Lu Chengqi felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart: "What kind of thing is this, it's obviously similar to the bronze cannon in the court drama of the heavens and dynasties!" After spending so much effort and money, he only created a dead thing that could only defend the city? This Nima is not scientific, I obviously drew the size of the artillery, uh, although the drawing is a little poor, but I can still see it clearly! Don't tell me, you haven't even seen my blueprints! ”

Su Song saw Lu Chengqi's tongue-induced appearance, thinking that Lu Chengqi was shocked by this thing, and said proudly: "Your Majesty, do you want the ministers to demonstrate?" (To be continued.) )
