Chapter 702: How fast and unconscious
Yang reformed quickly to suppress Huang Taiji's conspiracy. But that's not all, there's still work to be done.
Scattered the small pilgrimage.
Yang Gai immediately said to Wang Chengen: "Big companion, summon Shi Shoufu, Han Yi will come to see me, well, see you alone." "In the court just now, it was just a temporary suppression of this matter, and there must be more means to suppress this matter, so that this matter will not be repeated.
"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen immediately agreed.
Watching Wang Chengen leave, Yang Reform was also quite emotional, Huang Taiji was just a sentence, a gesture, he kept himself busy for so long, and had to invest more resources to suppress him, Huang Taiji is indeed a character, dare to act. It's hard to imagine, if it weren't for himself to do this Chongzhen, but the Chongzhen in history, when he encountered such a vicious trick as Huang Taiji, he really didn't know how to deal with it, except for being coaxed around by the ministers, I was afraid that there was no other possibility, thinking of this, Yang Reform shook his head.
Shoufu Shi Fenglai arrived soon.
Yang Reform has sorted out his thinking, although the imperial party is the imperial party, and there are some differences between Han Yi's "new Donglin" and Chen Yuting's "old Donglin", and it has not yet reached the point where it is maintained entirely by interests, but the imperial party still needs to be fed with "resources", and if there are no "resources" to feed it, it will be malnourished. Yang reformed the party and did not intend to smash the imperial party.
"Your Majesty!" After Shi Feng came, he immediately saluted.
"No courtesy, sit down......" Yang Gai signaled.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shi Fenglai thanked him, and then sat down.
"Regarding what Shoufu said, vigorously promoting sweet potato planting, I support it......" Yang Reform opened with this sentence, Shi Fenglai is the emperor's party, but there is no need to be hypocritical.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!" Shi Fenglai said.
"Last year, the imperial court spent seven or eight hundred thousand taels to promote sweet potatoes." Yang Reform said [I hope I remember correctly]
"Back to Your Majesty, yes, Your Majesty is not mistaken." Shi Fenglai immediately agreed, Shi Fenglai's brain. Now half of them are filled sweet potatoes, except that sweet potatoes are sweet potatoes, and he knows everything about sweet potatoes well.
"This year, it's an additional one million taels...... Yang said. Shi Fenglai is an imperial party, and if he wants to be economical, it is not easy to deduct his money. What's more, Yang Reform does not plan to cut the project now, not to mention that this kind of sweet potato drought resistance is a national policy. I booked it early and had it every year.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shi Fenglai said immediately.
"I heard from Master Xu that in addition to growing sweet potatoes to resist drought in arid places, there are also several good drought-resistant crops that are also suitable for promotion, one is called corn. One is called potatoes, which are good drought-resistant crops, and where rice and wheat are not easy to live, they can live, so, I think. Shoufu promotes the planting of sweet potatoes, which is not limited to sweet potatoes in the future, but also includes the planting of corn and potatoes, and does not use the promotion of sweet potatoes in the future. Rather, it should be called the promotion of drought-resistant crops, and in the future, the imperial court will also use this name to support and promote, so that it will appear atmospheric and more suitable for ......," Yang said.
"Corn, potatoes? This ...... "Shi Fenglai has a lot of strangeness to new things, and he didn't come back to his senses for a while, what the emperor said.
"Yes, corn and potatoes. I have the pattern sent by Master Xu here, Shoufu can take a look at it......" Yang Reform looked puzzled when he saw Shi Fenglai. Road.
Shi Fenglai was quite embarrassed and took the pattern. Look closely.
I saw that on those pictures, several plants were drawn in "color", one was taller, lush, with a few small yellow cobs at the top, and wrapped in green leaves, which was corn.
On the other drawings, it is also painted in color, the difference is that this one is relatively low, compared with the adults on the side, but the human knee is high, but it is underground, and the painting of these not small fruits, it seems, the fruits are quite large.
Shi Fenglai looked at it with some excitement, not knowing whether he was nervous or happy.
"This higher one is called corn, in some places it is also called baogu, and in the south it is also called panwheat......" Yang Gengai pointed to the picture in Shi Fenglai's hand.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister knows......" Shi Fenglai replied nervously.
"This low one is called a potato, or a potato, or a yam egg, the plant is shorter, the fruit is underground, and the yield is high......," Yang Gengai still introduced.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister knows ......" Shi Fenglai replied nervously, perhaps also happy, in short, he looked more excited. …,
"Well, it's good that the Qing family knows, the promotion of drought-resistant crops is a national policy, and I will unswervingly support it, and the Qing family must work harder to ......," Yang said.
"Your Majesty, the minister knows......" Shi Fenglai still agreed.
"In the future, the Qing family can promote these drought-resistant crops, but they can adapt measures to local conditions, and don't blindly force a certain crop to be planted in a certain place, these crops have different temperaments...... Yang Gai explained.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has written down ......" Shi Fenglai finally said something different.
"Well, in addition, Master Xu also mentioned that these drought-resistant crops, like sweet potatoes, are not immediately suitable for anywhere, and sweet potatoes also need to be continuously cultivated and improved to adapt to more severe cold and drier places, or to increase yields, or to improve disease resistance, in short, Shoufu is not enough to promote, but also needs someone to continue to cultivate and improve......" Yang Reform said.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has written down ......" Shi Fenglai seemed to be frozen again.
"I thought about it, the Qing family needs to have an institution and people to support the promotion of these drought-resistant crops, otherwise, it is not enough to just promote, this person, I have already found it for you, has Song Yingxing Shoufu heard of it?" Yang reformed and prepared to officially launch Song Yingxing and put him on the stage of history.
"This, Your Majesty, but that Song Changgeng who compiled the book?" Shi Fenglai asked, for Song Yingxing, Shi Fenglai, who was very concerned about the emperor's words and deeds, naturally knew who Song Yingxing was. Shi Fenglai has always believed that the emperor will not be untargeted, and he will naturally refer to Song Yingxing, and naturally he will not forget that the emperor has taken care of Song Yingxing, so he has also paid attention to Song Yingxing, but he immediately said it.
"Yes, it is this person, Song Yingxing is compiling a book for me, compiling that kind of encyclopedia of workers and peasants, and it also happens to confirm the practical problems encountered in the process of industrial and agricultural production, and will actually practice planting these drought-resistant crops. Putting him in charge of the improvement and cultivation of these crops is a great ......deal to kill multiple birds with one stone," Yang said.
"Your Majesty Xie takes care of it, and the minister understands, and he will definitely work hard to support Song Changgeng, and he will definitely try his best to improve and cultivate these drought-resistant crops." Shi Fenglai heard this, and immediately expressed his attitude happily.
"Good. The first assistant in this matter should be more attentive, in addition. For the promotion of these drought-resistant crops, I will also instruct Tian Hongyu to help him more, such as corn, which is actually a good raw material for making wine. It is suitable for large-scale planting in eastern Liaoning, this year's trial planting, next year may be fully launched, the Qing family can ......be prepared," Yang said with a smile. The multi-pronged approach has always been the means of Yang's reform, and he never expects to go all the way to the dark.
"Your Majesty Xie mentioned. The minister has written it down, and he will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations. Shi Fenglai immediately agreed happily, and when he saw that this thing was related to winemaking, his smile immediately grew. The easier it is to promote, the greater his achievements, is it easy for this person to leave a reputation in history, is it easy?
"Alright. I summoned the Qing family today, and that's all I did. Let's do it......" Yang said. Yang Reform thinks that this one-sided Shoufu is actually quite good. Although he has a little face, he will not give himself any big ideas, and he will not be able to help much, but, because of his face, he will not make trouble for himself, and he will not do everything with himself, if he wants to gain a firm foothold in the court, he has to rely on himself, this kind of first assistant, in fact, is exactly what he needs, and the overly strong first assistant is a burden to Yang Reform.
"Command!" Shi Fenglai also got up in a formal manner, and retired in a proper manner.
Sent Shi Fenglai away, Yang Reform drank saliva, ready to make persistent efforts, and then see Han Yi, the imperial party needs to be appeased, and this guy Han Yi must also be appeased.
"Companion, has Han Yi arrived?" Yang Gai drank the water and immediately asked.
"Your Majesty, it's already here." Wang Chengen hurriedly replied.
"Then I'll see you right away." Yang reformed.
"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen said.
Soon, Han Yi arrived.
"Your Majesty." Han Yi is also a formal salute.
"Excuse me, sit down." Yang Gengai still motioned for Han Yi to sit down.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Han Yi said.
"What the Qing family said in the court before, I think it is very reasonable." Yang Reform first said ambiguously. …,
“…… That work-for-relief thing, I thought about it, I still have to grit my teeth and do it, otherwise, this people will be displaced, and the place will definitely be rotten......" Yang reformed and pretended to be poor.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Han Yi looked at the emperor and replied.
"As for what to use for cash-for-work, I thought about it, and simply, the road from Tongzhou to Tianjin was also repaired, so that the road from Beijing to Tianjin has been smooth since then, and the construction of Tianjin Port and other ports in the south has also been merged into a super cash-for-work, so the disaster victims accommodated must be very considerable...... "Yang Gai gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly.
"Ahh …… Uh, Your Majesty......, isn't this too far? The road from the capital to Tianjin, but there are more than 300 miles, even if you remove the forty miles of Tongzhou, there are still nearly 300 miles, Your Majesty, is this ......" Han Yi was really frightened, Tianjin Port to the capital, there are more than 300 miles, except for the forty miles of Tongzhou, there are still small 300 miles, this length, but it is really not an ordinary length, the amount of money consumed, can be expressed in astronomical numbers, Han Yi originally just wanted to pick up a "small project", and it was almost the same if he got one or two million taels, but he didn't expect that as soon as the emperor made a move, It's such a scale of cash-for-work, how much money does it take to do this? Han Yi was a little dumbfounded.
"It's really a bit far, the money in my hand is not abundant, mainly in the past two years, the cost of military spending is too amazing, if Liaodong completely flattens the Dongyu, maybe there is no need for such a high military expenditure, in fact, I still have to draw money to repair this road, the advantages of the oil residue road, I believe that the Qing family should also know, if the road from Beijing to Tianjin is built, then the advantages of shipping will be thoroughly reflected, the connection between the north and the south is even closer, once the sea is smooth, the advantages of Liaodong are reflected again, That place in Liaodong must be a big granary with abundant products! Therefore, I still feel that it is necessary to build this road...... "Yang Reform said, this idea is indeed a bit beyond Yang Reform's ability, to build a more than 100 kilometers of oil road, this challenge is not big for the Ming Dynasty, but Yang Reform has to take out this thing. At least we have to appease Han Yi now. Huang Taiji's matter, although Yang Reform has suppressed it, he still has lingering palpitations, if it is not for the control of the court to be stable enough, there are enough means and energy to suppress this matter, once this matter is allowed to ferment. God knows what the final outcome will be.
"This ......" Han Yi fell into deep thought, the emperor's matter. It was really beyond his imagination, Han Yi's palms began to sweat, and he unconsciously squeezed his fists.
“…… Your Majesty, it's not that the minister disapproves of this matter, but this matter is really ....... Your Majesty is committed to maritime communication, but what about this transport? This is also hundreds of thousands of people begging for a living! Han Yi reminded. There is a big difference between the road to Tongzhou and the road to Tianjin, and the road to Tianjin must involve a problem of transportation, and those who rely on the canal will have to rely on the canal to survive by hundreds of thousands of workers. There are also local governments along the way, if it is changed to sea transportation, I don't know how big the trouble is, Han Yi really wants to win this super project. But you have to weigh it.
"This is the short-sightedness of the Qing family, I said, once Liaodong is pacified, with the wealth of Liaodong, it will definitely become the granary of my northern Ming Dynasty, to develop Liaodong, it is necessary to take shipping, since it is necessary to take shipping. How can we not build a road to Tianjin? And once Liaodong becomes a granary, it can solve the suffering of lack of grain in the north of the Ming Dynasty......" Yang Gai said with a smile. In fact, this can be regarded as a bait. is still an immature bait, Yang Reform originally didn't plan to say it, ready to brew again, prepare to prepare, and then prepare to prepare, there are still a lot of immature places in this, in terms of money, because of the pressure of military spending, Yang Reform did not dare to use the money in his hand with all his might, but he was forced by Huang Taiji to say this super project and use it to lure Han Yi. Han Yi wants to win this super project, it is impossible not to pay something, Han Yi wants to win this, it can be regarded as a complete shipping faction, in addition to facing the pressure of the "Canal faction", he has to help himself quell the Korean dispute in the matter of Huang Taiji. This is indeed a very tempting bait, and a bait with spines.
"Liaodong ......" Han Yi frowned, the road construction project that the emperor said, if it is compared to the oil residue road in Tongzhou, the cost may be as high as hundreds, or even tens of millions of taels, if he can win it, the benefits are naturally needless to say, but to take this, it seems that there are a lot of things to face, the emperor really has so much money? Not to trick him? No, probably not, the emperor's reputation has always been excellent, since he said this, there must be this, and he will not blame people...... Han Yi was thinking more about how to face these pressures, and actually only used half of his mind to think about Liaodong. …,
"Actually, Caoyun's gang don't have to care too much, I am now selling land in Liaodong, and there are not a few southerners who buy land in Liaodong, and they are also willing to develop Liaodong, so it is inevitable to develop shipping, and they may not be able to block the road to Tianjin Port, and the actual pressure is not as ......great as the Qing family thinks," Yang Reform said with a smile.
"This ......" Han Yi couldn't make up his mind for a while, what the emperor said made him a little tormented.
"It is far from enough to pacify the Dongyu, that place in Liaodong, if you want to completely prevent the emergence of another Dongyu, you can only firmly grasp that place in your hands, how to firmly grasp it in your hands? Presumably, the Qing family also knows that without the people to settle down, without the guard army guarding, the place can not be defended, in addition to these, we must also strengthen the connection with the Guannei, can no longer regard Liaodong as a bitter cold land...... if you do not treat Liaodong as your own land, then the place will never get peace, so the development of Liaodong, things are inevitable, let me Ming up and down participate in it, it is also inevitable, otherwise, who will treat Liaodong as their own land? I have always had party struggles, there are disputes between the north and the south, and if the interests of the north and south are not blended together, how can I get a place with the strength of the Ming Dynasty? Don't want to go anywhere? I'm just a fat man who looks big but is actually extremely weak......" Yang said. The reason why the late Ming Dynasty was like that, when it was about to collapse, the rich south still refused to take out a penny more to support the Ming Dynasty, and it was actually related to this idea, thinking that the affairs of the north were under the control of the north, and the south only needed to live happily, and did not regard the north as its own at all, which was also one of the reasons for the collapse at the end of the Ming Dynasty. What Yang Reform is doing now is to make up for this shortcoming, so that the north and the south are more closely united, and the north and the south are blended together, once something happens somewhere, it is the common enemy of the north and the south, and the north and the south of the Ming Dynasty work together, then it will definitely not be the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty is reasonable...... Han Yi listened to the emperor's words, and was shocked into a sweat, and the emperor mentioned the party dispute. When it comes to regional disputes, this is a big taboo! sighed silently, the difference between the north and the south is nothing new, and he feels it even more. Donglin Party, party struggle. In fact, it is divided according to geography, and the Donglin Party mainly strives for the interests of the southern provinces. They don't care about the interests of other places, they sometimes even stand in the position of spectators about the north, especially Liaodong. This is indeed a great malpractice of the Ming Dynasty, and Han Yi is a former Donglin party. I am very clear about this nature, and when I heard the emperor talk about this, I was very emotional, what the emperor did was indeed very understandable, and he did a lot of seemingly ordinary things. In fact, it is a far-reaching thing. Han Yi was a little moved!
"Therefore, the Qing family doesn't need to pay much attention to the matter of Caogong, and I don't want to completely abandon Caoyun. It's just to strengthen shipping, their interests are important, but I think, the interests of millions of people are equally important, and the future of my Ming Dynasty is also important. Cao Yun is not good to live, isn't shipping on the rise? No, more people are needed. Are more ships coming to run the sea? Yang Gai said again.
"Your Majesty is reasonable......," Han Yi said, Han Yi was very tormented. What the emperor said was beyond his expectations. The things involved were far more complicated than he thought, and Han Yi couldn't figure it out for a while. Han Yi originally thought that the emperor was looking for him to talk about Dongyu, and at most he would talk to him about the work for relief, but he didn't expect that the emperor would break such a fierce news. It caught him off guard, and it was not good to agree, the matter was too complicated, and he didn't think it through; It's not good if he doesn't agree, if he gives up on such a big project, I'm afraid that he will regret dying in the future.
Seeing Han Yi with his head down and his eyes wandering, Yang Gengai knew that Han Yi was fighting fiercely in his heart, and his bait played a role.
"The matter of building the road, I will unswervingly continue to repair, I have long wanted to repair, but the war in the past two years has consumed too much silver, I don't dare to make full efforts, if I can sweep away the East as soon as possible, maybe I can free up a lot of money, the matter of the silver money needed to build the road, the Qing family does not need to worry too much, I know in my heart, this is for the sake of my Ming Dynasty for a hundred years, for the sake of my Ming unity, for the sake of calming the party dispute, several cabinet ministers, each has their own affairs, Shi Shoufu is in charge of the overall situation, mainly responsible for the promotion of drought-resistant crops, Master Sun is mainly responsible for the affairs of the northern military, and Master Xu is mainly responsible for the affairs of immigration in the south. Are you willing to share your worries for me? Yang Reform said, Yang Reform still decided to officially give Han Yi a name, that is, to be responsible for engineering and infrastructure. This fat can't be fatter anymore, Yang Gai knows that Han Yi can't refuse, since he can't refuse, he has to charge into battle for himself.........
Han Yi struggled several times, hesitated several times, and suffered several times, but in the end, he couldn't endure the huge cash-for-work project.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is willing to share his worries for His Majesty, and is willing to bear this burden......" Han Yi endured it, but decided to follow the path given to him by the emperor. Such a big project, if he gave up, he, the leading brother, would not have to do it, so he got up immediately, knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor, and solemnly agreed. agreed, he can be regarded as a positive result, and finally became a minister in charge of one aspect, that is to say, the five-year commitment officially took effect, if there are no special circumstances, the emperor will not be replaced, he can be a cabinet minister for at least five years, just like Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, Shi Fenglai. For himself and for his "party", he also had to take over this errand. As for the resistance encountered in these things, Han Yi thought for a while, since His Majesty is bent on doing it, with him charging in front and the emperor taking care of him in the back, maybe things are not so difficult.
"Good! I really didn't misunderstand the Qing family's ......, so get up. Yang reformed. Yang Reform originally planned to let Han Yi, who likes to pursue profits, act as a precursor, as a pioneer in profit-seeking, but because of various reasons and scruples, Yang Reform has not been completely released, and now it is forced by Huang Taiji, and many of Yang's reform plans have to be advanced. In fact, this can be regarded as a win-win ending, although the imperial party is more loyal and easy to use, but it has to be said that the people of the imperial party are more like gentlemen, and they have the feeling that the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. It's like it's impossible for Xu Guangqi to engage in the slave trade.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Han Yi said with emotion.
"Okay, since the Qing family should undertake this matter. Then I will no longer hide anything, the matter of Dongyu, the Qing family must contribute, Dongyu Huang Taiji's request for peace, just to let me have chaos above the court, so that I can fish in troubled waters. Presumably, the Qing family also understands, since they understand. Then we must understand the importance of stabilizing the situation in the court, I don't want to see the court fight over this matter, I don't want Huang Taiji's conspiracy to succeed, and I don't want the affairs of Liaodong to be eroded, my words. Can you understand? Yang Reform said, since he agreed to be a minister in charge of the minister, it is natural that he must also fulfill his obligations, and Yang Reform simply spoke openly.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands! Your Majesty is reassured. The minister will never let the conspiracy of Huang Taiji succeed. Han Yi immediately said with a straight face, about the conspiracy of Dongyu Huang Taiji, people who are not particularly stupid know about it, since the emperor has made it clear. He has gained such a great benefit, so he naturally has to inherit it, and there has never been any wealth in the world for nothing.
"Good!" Yang Gengai spoke.
Yang Gengai thought about it and remembered something.
"The topic I talked about with the Qing family just now is a bit heavy, let's just say something light, I got something interesting a few days ago, but I want to show the Qing family......" Yang Reform smiled.
"Dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the matter?" Han Yi asked. The big thing has been decided. Han Yiren was also a lot more relaxed, seeing that the emperor wanted him to see interesting things. I am also happy to be happy with the emperor.
"Big companion, bring the pliers that Sun Yuanhua sent a few days ago." Yang Gai said.
"Slave obeys!" Wang Chengen agreed. Then go and get the emperor's treasure.
Not for a while. Wang Chengen came back, took a box, opened the box, and there was something like scissors inside, but it was bald.
Yang Gai picked up the pliers and said: "Look at the Qing family, it's this thing, this thing, called pliers, is used to cut iron rods, Qing family take a look, what is this." Yang Reform said as he picked up a small iron rod the thickness of his little finger for Han Yi to see.
Han Yi picked up the iron rod, looked at it carefully, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it is indeed an iron rod." ”
"Well, it's really good, does the Qing family have a way to break this iron rod?" Yang asked Gengai.
“…… This, back to Your Majesty, probably yes, you have to chop with a knife and an axe. Han Yi thought for a moment and replied.
"Yes, yes, the axe may be able to break this iron rod, but I have an easier way to break this iron rod now, and that is to use this ......" Yang Gengai picked up the pliers, raised it, and said.
"This? Your Majesty, this ......" Han Yi didn't believe it, but always felt that the emperor didn't want to say this. …,
Yang Gengai picked up the pliers, put the iron rod with the thickness of a little finger in the pliers, and clamped it hard, and the small iron rod was immediately cut into two sections and fell on the desk.
"This ......, back to Your Majesty, is quite magic......al," Han Yi said, although the emperor cut off this iron rod with a very light force, but Han Yi felt that it was nothing, he could do it with a knife and an axe.
"The Qing family will look at the tiger's mouth of this plier again, and see if there are any marks of curly mouths." Yang Gengai said with a smile.
Han Yi was a little curious, picked up the pliers handed to him by the emperor, and looked carefully, indeed, what kind of pliers is the tiger's mouth, there is indeed no curly opening, Han Yi felt magical, he looked at it with a knife, and chopped it with an axe, although he could also cut off this iron rod, but the knife and axe would definitely leave a roll mouth mark, like this, there is no mark, it is almost impossible.
"Back to Your Majesty, it is indeed amazing...... this, there is indeed no curling ......, there was a sword that sharpened iron like clay in ancient times, and today, the minister has seen the scissors that cut iron like clay...... "Han Yi said.
"Hehehe, the Qing family can try it again......" Yang Gengai smiled.
Seeing that the emperor was happy, Han Yi also picked up the iron rod and tried it himself. Like an emperor, he cut off the iron rod with ease.
"Your Majesty, it's really amazing...... Your Majesty, you can make scissors, you must be able to make swords, if you use weapons of this level on the battlefield, then my weapons are even better......," Han Yi commented.
"Hehehe, this can indeed be made into a sword, but I would like to use him to make a cannon......" Yang said.
"Cannon?" Han Yi asked puzzled, his answer and the emperor's answer were incompatible, and he was a little embarrassed.
"Yes, does the Qing family know how the barrel of the firebolt is made?" Yang asked Gengai.
"Back to Your Majesty, it is said that it is drilled and grinded." Han Yi thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, the fine barrel of the musket is indeed drilled and sharpened. It is also the reason why a barrel takes a long time, the steel to make this kind of pliers is a new type of steel invented by Sun Yuanhua, which is particularly tough, and is most suitable for cutting other steel, using this steel to drill and grind the barrel. It's the best fit, and the actual drilling and grinding of the barrel is not his greatest use. Do you know how my current cannon is made? Yang asked again.
"Cannons are forged ......, and Your Majesty means that cannons can be drilled and sharpened with this particularly tough steel?" Han Yi got the emperor's prompt and remembered.
"Not bad. Cannons have always been cast, so there are many trachomas, although there is grinding on the basis of casting, but the quality is difficult to guarantee, Sun Yuanhua is there, and now he is trying. Drilling a cannon out of steel is like drilling a firebolt, and the power of this cannon must be amazing! Yang Reform said with a smile. According to the exhaustive method of steelmaking, it is actually possible to make steel with various properties. It's just that the quality and output are difficult to sustainably stabilize, but if the scale of steelmaking is large enough, to a certain extent, it is not impossible to make special steel with sufficient specifications and properties.
"Ahh This ......" Although Han Yi is not very familiar with the casting of artillery, he is also shocked by this idea, the emperor really dares to think and dare to do it! Relying entirely on steel to drill a cannon out of steel is not ordinary. The consumption must be staggering.
"Once this method of making artillery is successful, I will face the power of artillery. It will definitely be far superior to the Hongyi cannon, and it will open up territory in the future. It's a weapon! Yang Reform said with a smile, although it can make special steel, it can be directly chiseled out, but it is Yang Reform's idea, in fact, it is more for Sun Yuanhua to start studying lathes and studying the use of steel to cut steel, which is the king. With industrial lathes, it is a qualitative leap. Yang Reform is now using silver to smash industrial technology, using the stupid method of exhaustive method to engage in industry and accumulate experience and technology. I don't really want to come out with rifled cannons in a few years, but in fact, this year, Hongyi cannons are enough.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" Han Yi didn't quite understand, but he felt that it seemed to be very powerful, and said something. I also felt strange in my heart, the emperor said this to him, did he tell him that he wanted to stand on the emperor's side "categorically"? Don't have a bad heart? Han Yi couldn't help but glance at the emperor a few more times, the emperor didn't seem to mean this, could it be that he thought too much?
……
After chatting with Han Yi, Yang Reform let Han Yi go. …,
Han Yi is gone, and Yang Reform has to continue to settle this matter.
First of all, I have to send a letter to Sun Chengzong, tell Sun Chengzong what happened in the court, tell Sun Chengzong his own opinions on how to deal with this matter, deal with the Dongyu, focus on war, basically don't take him seriously in the peace talks, and there must be no conflict with the strategy, let alone a truce, and the Donglu peace talks, but the lion opened his mouth, just make demands, preferably the requirements that the Donglu can't do, while the peace talks, the war must not stop, how to continue and what to do.
Yang Reform thought about it, and added a few words, such as the East Lu to come to the peace talks, but the people who ask for peace talks have a considerable level, here is Master Sun, Master Sun is the emperor's minister, and it is best for the East to come to the chief Huang Taiji in person, otherwise, the level is not equal, I will suffer a loss, and I will lose face.
Yang Gai thought about it for a while, and added another sentence, if Dongyu can't come in person, you can let the fourteen sons of the old chieftain come, that fourteen sons seem to be called Dolgon, why is he, the reason is simple, how reckless there are people in Dongyu, except for Huang Taiji who has a little brain, this person also has a little brain, who will be called if he doesn't call him?
Yang Gai happily wrote a reply to Sun Chengzong, Huang Taiji fought with himself, although the means were sharp enough, but in front of himself, the "prophet", it was not enough to see.
He wrote a letter to Sun Chengzong, and then wrote a letter to Xu Guangqi, urging him to step up the construction of Shanghai as soon as possible, and strive to establish Shanghai as soon as possible, so as to put this new financial center into use as soon as possible. Fortunately, there are a few projects that are considered to be large accounts now, so they can slow down the spending of money, such as salt taxes, such as maritime tariffs, such as commercial taxes, such as several large businesses, such as banks, if there is no support from these things, Yang Reform is now poor. After the construction of Shanghai, he also instructed the importance of immigration, and this year's immigration will continue to be unstoppable, and we will continue to implement last year's policy.
After writing a letter to Xu Guangqi, Yang Reform remembered the promise to Han Yi again, and remembered that he scared Han Yi a lot when he said that he had repaired the oil residue road to Tianjin, and Yang Reform couldn't help but laugh.
Repair the oil residue road, the actual cost is not so high, and Li Yanyi was given 400 taels of silver for a car of oil residue [It seems that I am not mistaken? Actually, that's just to support Li Yanyi, in fact, it's a super work-for-relief project, more to feed the people there, in fact, four hundred taels is also sent, two hundred taels is also sent, and forty taels is also sent, so the cost of repairing the oil slag road must not be measured by the cost of repairing Tongzhou now, otherwise it will be taken aback.
……
Liaodong!
Qin Liangyu was a little tired.
If nothing else, just for the sake of endless protests, the Dongyu "truce", in the name of peace, constantly protested that Qin Liangyu continued to launch an offensive against Dajin, and wanted to go to Qin Liangyu to also stop fighting, at least wait for news from the imperial court, and not to sabotage the peace talks.
Qin Liangyu naturally ignored Dongyu, but Houjin also calmed down, not only did not get angry, but took the initiative to retreat, which made Qin Liangyu very depressed, since entering Liaodong, for a few months, except for the scout battle, it seems that there is nothing to gain, although it is even two cities, but this is always like two punches hitting cotton, not at all forceful, extremely uncomfortable. Now that there are people who are harassed and protested by the East Captives every day, asking for a truce, although Qin Liangyu may not pay attention to it, it is also annoying.
"Mother, it's a letter from Dongyu again, saying that my Daming killed a few of them in Zhoujiabaozi, and asked us Daming to restrain and not sabotage the peace talks, it's really instigated......" Ma Xianglin took a letter and walked in, and complained when he came in.
"Lin'er! Leave him alone, do what you have to do, presumably Your Majesty has his own countermeasures, so there is no need to worry. Qin Liangyu comforted his son, but in fact, he was very annoyed, and when he didn't get a clear answer from the court, he didn't have a bottom in his heart.
"Got it, mother!" Ma Xianglin said.
"What's going on outside? How's the masking done? Qin Liangyu asked, this is something that must be asked every day. The importance of masking is self-evident, and we must pay attention to it at all times.
"Mother, it's still advancing according to the schedule, but it's nothing, the Tartars are still making more concessions, and there are few conflicts." Ma Xianglin said.
"Oh!" Qin Liangyu said lightly, there is no conflict, it is not good, it is not bad, it is really not calm in my heart, this waiting is really a torment.
"Mother, do you think there will be real peace talks in the court! If we send someone who doesn't know anything to point fingers, then our army will be in danger......" Ma Xianglin couldn't help but say worriedly.
"Lin'er, who did you listen to when you said this? How could His Majesty send an inconsequential guy to point fingers? This is a rumor, but don't believe it, and it is strictly forbidden to spread this kind of words, you have to believe Your Majesty, believe in Sun Ge Lao ......" Qin Liangyu was slightly shocked! Dongyu's move is really vicious, now all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky, making the army's military heart a little unstable, Qin Liangyu is suppressing it in every way, but Dongyu is really pretending to be too similar, this rumor always has room to survive, before the court is decided, Qin Liangyu can only be in a hurry
