"Back to Your Majesty, the south has been arranged, and it won't be long before this salt field is under control." Fang Hongzan heard the emperor talk about the south, and immediately understood that the emperor was asking about the salt farm, "Well, the layout of this salt farm, you step up, don't leak the news, only you can know, understand?" In addition, this matter involves the cooperation of the patent office, so the patent office will use the person you recommended, and I hope that when the time comes, the cooperation will not be in place, do you understand? Yang Reform has always been worried about this salt businessman, agreed that the salt government will only stop for one year, the salt merchants are estimated to still boil salt to make salt, Yang Reform is ready to take advantage of the outbreak of the Shaanxi Jin merchant traitor case, the businessman hype into a typical traitor, and then in this big public opinion environment, use the patent to prevent the salt merchants from using dried salt instead of boiling salt, the salt merchants' bottom is siphoned off, and the salt merchants are washed down, so that, in one fell swoop, they can control the country's salt industry in their own hands, and when the time comes, the restoration will not restore the salt government, It's not up to you to decide, you don't have to look at the bureaucrats and salt merchants.

This matter, Fang Hongzan also did it with his head, if the emperor's business is done, I am afraid, the ministers will vent their anger at him, and he will not be able to fall into a good position, if he smashes it, it is estimated that the emperor will push him out to blame. However, Jin Yiwei's first lesson is to be loyal to the emperor, only the emperor's orders are obeyed, Fang Hongzan has no choice but to do this for the emperor to the end.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands that he will not disappoint His Majesty." Fang Hongzan replied resolutely.

"Well, you understand the strong relationship between this patent office and the affairs of the south, that's good, I hope you don't miss my business, in addition, this patent, there are a few you pay attention to, I have given some people patents before, this, just go through the procedures from the patent office, from now on under the protection of the patent office, if anyone wants to use this invention without the consent of the inventor, then, it is time for the patent office to take the lead, I see that the person you chose used to work as an errand in Beizhen Fusi, I hope he will not be soft then...... Also, have you heard of the glass field of Liulizhai? There may be a lot of patents to apply for patents in the patent office, and you are responsible for this...... "Yang Gengai explained.

"The minister understands, the minister obeys!" Fang Hongzan understood the special relationship between this glass field and the emperor, and also understood that this glass house was actually the emperor's property, and understood what he should do.

…… After dealing with the affairs of the patent office, Yang Reform had been worried about the issue of Guozijian and decided to go to Guozijian to have a look. This Li Ruolian once let himself take more than one million taels of silver to go to usury, to be honest, Yang Reform's heart is also a little empty, these days, I have been pondering, if this thing is not true, or it is messed up, then it will be a tragedy, more than one million taels! One-third of the Ming Dynasty's annual income! Fear is always inevitable.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?" Wang Chengen saw that the emperor looked like he was going to leave the palace, and thought that the emperor was going out to see "Niangniang", didn't he just go yesterday? This frequency is a little too much.

"Go to the Guozijian and see the Guozijian." Yang Reform is very worried about his money, it is 1.2 million taels! If you don't see the reality, you can't feel at ease.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen agreed. He added: "Your Majesty, Qin Tianjian Li Zubai asked to see him, saying that the Kong Ming lantern that can hold people is ready, please come and watch it." ”

Li Zubai? Can hold people's Kong Ming lanterns? Yang Gengai remembered what was going on, he did call this guy to make a hot air balloon before, and he was going to build a manned hot air balloon, so as to broaden the horizons and minds of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

"Well, this, then let's meet Li Zubai first." Yang Gai felt that this matter could not chill Li Zubai's heart, and the fact that the hot air balloon was lifted into the air could be said to be a big sign.

In the Temple of Nourishing the Heart.

Xinuan Pavilion.

"Weichen Li Zubai knocks to see my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Yang Gengai looked at this Li Zubai carefully, this spirit is good, but this person is obviously much more tormented, and this person is obviously much older.

"Get up, Li Qing, I heard that your hot air balloon is ready? Can you pretend to be human? Yang asked reform.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen's hot air balloon is indeed ready, and it can indeed be loaded with people, so I hereby invite Your Majesty to watch it." Li Zubai said that he had been proud of his many achievements, and the whole person became radiant and confident.

"Hehe, that's good, I'm just going to see this thing that can carry people to the sky. Something to bring? "Yang Gai thinks that this hot air balloon will definitely surprise those rotten people! I want to stir up the increasingly dead water of the Ming Dynasty and turn it into living water. Let this numb Ming Dynasty scholar and the people of the Ming Dynasty come to their senses and come to life.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen didn't bring ,...... Wechen thought that this palace was the place where His Majesty controlled the world, and Wechen did not dare to put the hot air balloon in the palace to fly, so that he offended His Majesty, and Wechen implored His Majesty to go to the observatory to watch, that place was more spacious and would not be too noticeable. "Although Li Zubai really wants the emperor to watch hot air balloons, he is also an official, what kind of place is this palace? Can people fly over his head casually?

For Li Zubai's remarks, Yang Reform felt that it made sense, this imperial power, the symbol of the emperor in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty, is still very important, the emperor and the reverence of the imperial power, far more than Yang Reform himself, the traverser.

"Well, let's go to the observatory and see it." Yang Gengai decided to go to see the hot air balloon manned, this thing, we must support Li Zubai, in this Ming Dynasty to engage in science and technology, research and development, it is not easy, if you do not vigorously support, this Ming Dynasty wants to let science and technology take root, it is unlikely.

"Your Majesty, what about the country?" Wang Chengen reminded him.

"It's okay, I'll watch the hot air balloon in a while, and it's not too late to go to Guozijian again."

"Your Majesty, are you going to go, or?"

"Swinging? No, it's too flamboyant, let's take it, it's so comfortable. Yang Gai quickly decided to go to Weifu, if this is to go, this pomp is too big, and it is too much time.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang Chengen got the letter and immediately went to make arrangements.

A horse-drawn carriage rushed to the observatory.

The observatory is located in the east of Yanjing City, and in a short time, the carriage convoy rushed to the place.

Yang Gai got out of the car and found that this place was already close to the city wall. Not far away, there is a very tall city wall, this should be the outermost city wall of Yanjing City, so it is so tall. Yang Reform has been in the Ming Dynasty for so long, and it is the first time he has walked out of such a far place, and it is the first time he has seen the city wall of Yanjing City.

"Otomo, that place, but the city wall of Yanjing City?" Yang Reform is very excited, how can he not be excited about watching the relics of history up close? This is not seen in the 21st century!

Wang Chengen supported the emperor, for fear that the emperor would fall off the carriage, and when he saw the emperor asking, he replied: "Your Majesty, there is the city wall of the capital division, it is high, and it is impossible for the enemy to break in." Speaking of the city wall of Yanjing City, Wang Chengen is very confident, thinking that the gentleman will not stand under the dangerous wall, let alone protect the emperor's city wall? Can it not be too big?

Yang Gengai took a look at the city wall of Yanjing in the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it is more than ten meters high, that is, it is as high as a building with more than four floors, think about it, standing on the fourth floor facing down is still something, the people downstairs are not stoned to death, they are also smashed to panic! Yang Reform suddenly became very curious about the city wall of Yanjing City. After this, he may fight to the death with the wild boar skin here. It is necessary to inspect the height of the city wall on the spot, and it is necessary to go to see the battle of Guangqumen, which is very famous in the future, to see how this is fought, and how to arrange.

Yang Reform's mind has drifted to the battle with the wild boar skin, and he feels that he is too homely, staying in the Forbidden City all day long, and he has not even inspected the city wall of Yanjing City, which is close at hand, this is a typical paper talk! It is necessary to go to the field to visit the city walls of Yanjing.

Yang Gai felt that he was an otaku, and he was also a house in the Ming Dynasty, and he came for a few months, and he was the emperor for a few months, but he didn't inspect the Yanjing city wall of the Ming Dynasty that would fight, let alone Guangqumen, this place, but the place where the queen and the wild boar skin battled! Yang's thoughts of reform have already floated.

“…… Well, yes, yes, it's grandiose indeed! It looks like a thick ......" Yang Genghe couldn't help nodding and praised, the city wall of Yanjing in the Ming Dynasty was too high and too thick. It seems that there are also "houses" built on the city wall.

"Of course, Your Majesty, it's not a slave to blow, this city wall is three or four zhang high, and the enemy is to take a ladder to come up, which is also a difficult thing, let alone attack the city, with this city wall, the capital is impossible to be breached......" Wang Chengen saw that the emperor was very interested in the city wall, and he couldn't stop praising the city wall of the Beijing division, you know, why does this son of heaven guard the border, why does he have such courage and determination? Without a little guarantee, can the emperor come to guard the border?

Yang Gengai couldn't help nodding, three or four zhang high, that is, more than ten meters high, according to the height of the floor in the twenty-first century, it should be four stories high, if you drop a flower pot from the fourth floor, you can also smash the passers-by below and break the blood, there are often reports on TV, let alone the time for battle, this cold weapon era to attack this kind of city, it is not a difficult word to be able to say clearly, I really want to go and see how the city wall of Yanjing is now.

Li Zubai looked hopeful, and Yang Reform couldn't bear to hit his positive surname. However, this field trip to the city wall of the Ming Dynasty made Yang Reform more tempted, this is the place where he may fight with the wild boar skin in the future, which is related to the future of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also related to the safety of his life in the future, Yang Reform is impatient to see the city wall.

"Lord Li, my son is suddenly very interested in this city wall, and wants to go and see the city wall, I don't know if Lord Li can accompany him to watch it." Yang Reform still decided to go to see the city wall first, and nothing is important to save his life now.

After Yang came out of the reform, he was plainclothes. Li Zubai also changed into civilian clothes, and was carefully standing beside the emperor to serve, hoping that the emperor would go to see his hot air balloon as soon as possible, when he suddenly heard the emperor say to him, "Lord Li", the emperor called himself his son, and he was scared enough. He looked at the emperor dumbfounded, not knowing how to answer.

Wang Chengen stood aside and said: "Lord Li, the son is out of the palace, he calls himself the son, there is another name, the surname is Yang, the name is reform, the word Baidu, you can write it down, the son wants to go to the city wall to play, you lead the way, remember, don't expose the identity of the son, otherwise, you are the only one who asks." Wang Chengen immediately gave Li Zubai the pseudonym of this Yang reform when he was in the micro-service.

Li Zubai was dumbfounded, the emperor still has a pseudonym? It seems that he is also an emperor who likes to go out on patrol! The emperor of the Zhu family, since the change of Tumubao, has been bound in the Forbidden City by the ministers, and few emperors can come out to see everywhere, and the emperors who can come out are all known as playful and frolicking.

Wang Chengen saw that Li Zubai looked like an idiot, and scolded: "Master Li, don't you lead the way? Do you want Childe to stand here all the time? ”

Li Zubai was frightened into a cold sweat, this Wang Chengen is a Bingbi eunuch under one person and above tens of thousands of people, the chief manager of the Great Interior, the emperor's closest confidant, offended the emperor, the emperor may not remember which one you are, and he has no intention of killing you, if he offends Wang Chengen, then he will not be able to live.

"Xiaguan will go, this will go, Your Majesty...... No, Childe, please ...... here" Li Zubai was busy leading the way for Yang Reform.

The observatory was next to the city wall, which was higher than the city wall, and soon reached the steps of the city wall, but it was guarded by officers and soldiers.

Li Zubai is an official of the Qintianjian Prison, often comes to this observatory, and is also very familiar with the officers and soldiers here, bearing in mind Wang Chengen's warning just now, do not expose the identity of the emperor, so he is ready to have a relationship with the officers and soldiers here, and let his party go to the city wall.

The officers and soldiers guarding the city were still familiar with Li Zubai, and greeted them from afar: "Lord Li, I'm here again today!" ”

If Li Zubai is in peace, he will also put on an official stand, this official and a soldier are two concepts, although he is not good at the official of the Qin Tianjian, but today, Li Zubai wants to take the emperor and his party to the city wall, so he has to discuss with a few officers and soldiers in a low voice, because the official of the Qin Tianjian is really not good, and it has no weight to ask others to do things.

"Hehe, how are you doing? Some of them haven't seen General Zhang. Li Zubai warmly greeted General Zhang, the military attache stationed on the city wall, and prepared to let this "general" be accommodating, so that he could get the emperor to visit the city wall.

This "General" Zhang also wondered, what did this Li Zubai and Master Li eat today? Talking like this? Or call yourself a general? He is just a small hundred, and he is still 108,000 miles away from the general, in this Yanjing City, he can smash a person with a brick at will, and he can also smash someone higher than his position.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, where is Master Li going?" This "General" Zhang is also strange, why didn't this Li Zu go to the platform during the day, why did he come to his own city wall?

"Hehe, that's right, General Zhang, a few friends, want to take a look on the city wall, and ask General Zhang to be accommodating." Li Zubai was also very helpless, if the emperor didn't want to go to the city wall, why would he ask for a small hundred households like this.

The "general" surnamed Zhang immediately refused, saying: "Lord Zhang, it's not that Zhang is not accommodating, it's just that this is really helpless!" Recently, His Majesty has issued a strict order to strictly prevent annihilation, especially the city gate is the top priority, although this is not the city gate, but to climb the city wall, there is nothing that can be helped. ”

Yang Reform originally thought that with the Ming Dynasty's [***], this kind of thing would definitely be accommodating soon, but he didn't expect to meet a person who seriously carried out his orders here, and Yang Reform couldn't help but be a little interested in the whole person.

Li Zubai's plea was rejected, his face was flushed, this is a small loss of face in the emperor, which delays the emperor's prosperity, who can afford to be offended? was about to reprimand this Zhang Baihu, who didn't know what to do.

Wang Chengen has been watching Li Zubai and this hundred households guarding the city, he didn't want to reveal his identity, so he went to negotiate with Li Zubai, he thought it was very simple, but he didn't expect that he was actually refused, so Wang Chengen was very surprised! When did the guards of the Ming Dynasty bend the law like this? But he was surprised and surprised, and handed a look to the "bodyguard" next to him. The bodyguard immediately understood, immediately stepped forward, took out a token, shook it in front of that Zhang Baihu, and said, "Go on errands, don't stop it, understand?" ”

That Zhang Baihu suddenly saw a piece of Jinyi Wei Qianhu's waist card dangling in front of his eyes, and was frightened, this person, as if he was a slave, has the waist card of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, what level does this master have? Zhang Baihu was stunned. Immediately knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "I understand the humble duty, and I respectfully ask the upper hand to go up to the city wall." Then he hurriedly beckoned his soldiers to get out of the way and let the messenger go up the city wall.

Yang Gengai had a good impression of this person, and mentioned to Wang Chengen: "This person seems to be a bit reliable in doing things, and he will be promoted if he has the opportunity in the future." ”

A person's fate changes in an instant, in a sentence.

"The little one obeys." Wang Chengen replied.

Such a small episode passed quickly.

"Whew...... ...... "Yang Gai climbed the city wall in one breath, holding the battlements with his hands, panting heavily. This city wall, he is also as high as a four-story building, and when he climbed up in one breath, he didn't feel it, but when he came up, he felt that it was very difficult.

This is the city wall of Yanjing City in the Ming Dynasty? Although Yang Reform was mentally prepared, he was still shocked! The tall walls stretch into the distance, square, powerful, majestic, and majestic, while below the walls, they are small and low. Looking down, there is a little fear of heights.

Yang Gengai took a look, this city wall is afraid that it is as high as a four-story building, and there are battlements about one person high on it, this kind of height, in ancient times, is really high.

Yang Reform made a comparison, before his own house had a wooden ladder that could go up to the second floor, this kind of ladder was already quite high, standing on this ladder, it was still dangling, the city wall was at least four stories high, plus a battlement, I was afraid that it was going to four and a half floors, Yang Reform had never seen that kind of ladder that could be directly placed on the window of the four-story building, except for the ladder of the fire truck, the extra-long fire ladder. Attacking this kind of city wall, just climbing the ladder, I am afraid that it will be a long time old, and I have to withstand the attack of the people on the city wall, Yang Reform feels that this kind of city wall is really strong! How many people would have to die to attack such a city? It takes courage to attack this kind of city!

Yang Gengai looked at the city wall, in the distance, sighing, how could such a majestic city be easily broken by Li Zicheng? You must know that the wild boar skin has entered the customs several times, and it is all looking at the city and sighing! I haven't even touched the walls of Yanjing City. Why did Li Zicheng break through such a majestic city all at once? Why can't this majestic city prevent Li Zicheng? Could it really be that it was an infectious disease that caused a large-scale infection among the officers and soldiers defending the city of Yanjing, as legend goes, and they were ineffective? Li Zichengcai took the opportunity to break Yanjing City?
