The production of new warships has allowed the big craftsmen and craftsmen of the ordnance supervisor to accumulate a certain amount of experience in buying high. Now, some of these people have been transferred to the Xiangyang Shipyard to build larger warships. The prosperity of shipbuilding on the Han River has made all industries flourish, especially those related to shipbuilding, such as coal mining, steel manufacturing, shipbuilding, and even carpentry, an ancient traditional industry, which should be used as the interior decoration of ships.

Zhu Changhao is now vigorously supporting the shipbuilding industry, because the prosperity of the Ming Empire must start from the industry, after all, in terms of industrial production, according to the current taxation standard of the Rui Wangfu, it is "one out of ten", which is a real tax on silver and silver.

That is to say, a commodity of one hundred silver dollars will be taxed at ten silver dollars.

With an industrial output value of hundreds of millions of silver dollars, this year's commodity tax is definitely more than 10 million silver dollars. Some of them may evade taxes, but once the Ruiwang Mansion is investigated and dealt with, it will be ten times the punishment, even if you don't let the merchants who evade taxes cut off their children and grandchildren, it will almost make you bankrupt.

After the law of punishing the evasion of commodity tax appeared, even some subordinate officials of the royal palace and even some cabinet elders of the political cabinet were a little puzzled, but Zhu Changhao told them that there were too many proportions and disadvantages of agricultural taxes, and after the farmers were in such an abnormal climate and the difficult situation of farming, the subordinate officials also understood.

Since the Han River, which is 3,000 miles long, adopts the "one-fee system" of taxation and does not repeat taxation, the commodity trade here is particularly active, and there are many workshops, and now it is a double shift.

After all, the current Ming Dynasty does not have an eight-hour work system, but adheres to the unspoken rule of sunrise and sunset.

At night, in addition to the wind lanterns that are still burning, the surroundings are all black. When I entered the door, I was inside the dormitory, and the light of the candlestick was so clear on the window paper. Seeing this light, a trace of home warmth suddenly lingered in Zhu Changhao's heart.

Explain: Bumu Butai no longer sleeps in her own courtyard, her room is in the east of Baxi Palace, in the middle of Baxi Palace, is Liu Zilian, after all, the concubine Niangniang, that is, to live in the middle, after all, the symbol of status, sloppy.

After Zhu Changhao asked the night watchman to send Bumu Butai away, he began to push open the door and entered Liu Zilian's bedroom.

Liu Zilian is wearing pajamas, looking at woodblock prints on the fire. Zhu Changhao pushed the door in, and after hearing only a "Wang Ye Jin'an", there was no other sound.

This is actually what Zhu Changhao requested, after all, the princess, who was eight months pregnant, let her see her husband, and she had to kneel down to say hello, which may cause a miscarriage. Therefore, Zhu Changhao asked Liu Zilian to salute when he saw him in the future, just say "Lord Jin'an", but now the princess is so insincere, making Zhu Changhao feel that he is becoming more and more dignified, is this the legendary "husband is sluggish".

Zhu Changhao naturally will not pursue the so-called "sluggish husband", after all, superficial work is basically something that kills people and pits people, and the actions of the brain, so you can avoid it.

I ate some mutton and sake just now, and now the smell of sheep and wine on Zhu Changhao's body suddenly made Liu Zilian vomit "uh, uh, uh".

Zhu Changhao immediately realized that a pregnant woman's sensitivity to odor irritation is quite sensitive. Without saying a word, I went to take a bath.

It's easy to bathe, but to clean up the smell of wine and sheep, you have to use a toothbrush.

Speaking of this toothbrush, the Rui Wangfu, as well as the subordinate officials of the palace, and the generals are basically equipped with it now, and the tooth powder equipped with the zhu mao bamboo board toothbrush is green salt. Zhu Changhao's tooth powder is a little different from others, in addition to green salt, there are borneol mint, and even melon cream is also made.

Speaking of which, the manufacture of water melon cream is also very simple, after the watermelon is ripe, cut it in half directly, and then take out the flesh inside, fill it with some miscanthus salt, close it tightly, and then put it in a cool place for two or three months, it will ooze from the watermelon wall The things filled with hoarfrost, Zhu Changhao asked people to hang these things down with a bamboo knife, and then put them in the ice cellar, and use them in the summer, or when there are mouth ulcers, the effect is very good.

Later, after Lao Dao discovered this practice, he asked people to pick the mint leaves, then squeeze them into juice, put them in the watermelon, and make the melon cream that came out, there was a taste of mint, and the fire clearing, breath, and disinfection were very good.

After Zhu Changhao pounded his teeth with green salt for a while, he took another piece of melon cream, and suddenly, a mint smell permeated his mouth, and the refreshing taste made people feel refreshed.

Liu Zilian also likes to smell the smell of mint, after Zhu Changhao went to the kang, Liu Zilian did not vomit, but closed the comic book (woodblock print/villain book), leaned her head on Zhu Changhao's arms, and listened to the strong heartbeat of her man.

In mid-November, after the completion of the three ironclad ships, Zhu Changhao was invited by Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, to Chengdu to see the scene of the land of abundance.

To tell the truth, if it was placed in the past few years, Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, did not say that he invited King Rui, that is, he usually went out of the house, and he had to be approved by the Chengdu prefect, the kind of embarrassment of being subject to others, whenever Zhu Zhishu was on the princess's body, after tossing, lying on the bed, unable to sleep, he would always think of the prefect, for his application for leaving the house, the expression of disdain, it deeply pierced his heart as an old man.

Chengdu Mansion, Shu Wang's Mansion, back garden.

Although the land of abundance, the Sichuan Basin, but the Sichuan Basin in the seventeenth century, due to the influence of the Xiaoice River, in winter, cold and wet, the wet and cold air flow blowing from the Yangtze River, even wearing a mink coat from Qinling, does not work.

Zhu Zhishu, who was plump, looked at the two plums in the yard and smiled proudly in his heart.

In Zhu Zhishu's heart, although it is said that King Rui is the richest prince now, in fact, Zhu Zhishu thinks that he is no worse than King Rui.

The country of abundance, fertile fields for thousands of miles, this is not counting, the most important thing is that the Shu Wangfu is still in charge of a large number of gold and silver mines, and there are also a lot of iron mines.

Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, is now confined in Chengdu Mansion, but in the Ming Dynasty, since the founding of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, he is definitely a black-hearted person, and he must cut the grass and eradicate the roots of those who hinder him. But for the princes and grandsons who did not hinder their own interests, it was quite a shortcoming, and if there were local officials bullying the royal bloodline, it would be unambiguous to press it.

The prefect of Chengdu is the functional institution that supervises the king of Shu, and the people of this mansion do not dare to force the king of Shu excessively.

Besides, the Ming royal family stipulated that the vassal kings of various places could not collude with local civil and military officials, but it did not say that they could not develop the economy.

Zhu Zhishu took advantage of this, and in Shuzhong, whatever money came from, he would meddle like that. In addition to making money, his greatest hope is to have more children, and he also longs for freedom.

No, for the sake of freedom, he deliberately showed favor to his neighbor, King Rui of Hanzhong.

This kind of show of favor also contains evil intentions, that is, to make King Rui as a pioneer who longs for freedom, this pioneer, if it succeeds, it is better, if it does not succeed, it will not hurt himself in the slightest, and in the end he will be unharmed.

What Zhu Zhishu didn't know was that if King Rui was still the original Zhu Changhao, he would definitely not dare to make any achievements, and the pioneer was just a flash in the pan, but now, the soul of the original Zhu Changhao was replaced by a member of a public institution named Zhu Jingguo in the 21st century.

He has knowledge nearly four hundred years before this era, and the most important thing is that this Zhu Jingguo also specialized in the history of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In addition, I have exercised in public institutions, not to mention the cultivation of human feelings, but the world is insightful, and there is still a certain level, no matter how black your belly is, you can fight the old monsters of nearly four hundred years in time and space?

When Zhu Zhishu was thinking under the plum tree, he didn't know that he invited Zhu Changhao to Chengdu, that is, to lure the wolf into the room, but King Rui wanted to turn the Sichuan Basin into his rear.

The three ironclad ships have already lit a fire and boosted the pressure, Zhu Changhao stood on the dock of the sailor, leading three hundred personal guards, as well as Qin Ruzhen, who was in charge of agriculture in the palace, Lu Lun, the president of the Royal Bank, and even the criminal department, the land yamen squire, and Li Zhizao also went.

Zhu Changhao arrived in Chengdu this time, it is estimated that it will take ten days and half a month, and there is no shortage of women on the ship, after all, when he has a physical or psychological need, he also has a woman by his side.

Just when Zhu Changhao boarded the ship and was about to leave, the old Taoist Yu Yuzi also got on the boat, saying that he was going to Qingcheng Mountain in Chengdu to see his junior brother.

Zhu Changhao had never heard of Lao Dao having a junior brother, but he still believed his statement.

After all, the source of the Jialing River is the West Han River, the Baishui River, and the Bailong River, these three major tributaries, all flow through some subtropical climate zones with rich vegetation and dense forests, and the flow is considerable, and it is understandable.

When the sailor wharf, at the right moment, that is, at ten o'clock in the morning, when Sun Chengzong, the palace guard, led the subordinate officials to say goodbye, Zhu Changhao had already waved west.

Dong Wanning will be in the cockpit of the prince in the middle, looking at the scenery on both sides of the river.

Zhu Changhao also entered the cockpit, but what displeased him was that there was no glass on this ironclad ship, but a kind of cemented translucent glass.

Using translucent glass to make the gangside of an ironclad ship feels really uncomfortable. But you can't open the windows, although there is hot water circulating from the steam boiler in every cabin of the ironclad ship, but when you open the porthole, the river wind blows, and it cuts the face with a knife.

In the outer room of the cockpit, the chief butler sat on a chair and looked at a book, which is said to be the secret book of how eunuchs can cultivate qi practitioners written by Zhao Gao, the first eunuch in China.

Zhu Changhao has also seen that the qi practitioners mentioned above are really magical, and there are a lot of strange things in it, but later, there is a secret book of internal boxing, this secret book is written for those who cannot be "humane".

Zhu Changhao didn't say anything, he just thought in his heart, "Uncle Wang can cultivate if he wants to, as long as he doesn't go mad." ”

On the ironclad ship in the middle, only Zhu Changhao's entourage is the one in the back, the one in the back is the subordinate officer of the palace, and the one in front is used to open the way.

The propeller of the ironclad boat, propelled by the speed of fifty miles per hour, the river water stirred up layers of splashes.
