Chapter 504: Joint Venture Arsenal

"Where's the Pegasus, let me see!" said Zheng's eyes.

Lu Sheng's mental power was concentrated on the prop card, and he clicked to activate it, and in an instant, the prop card in his mind turned into a galaxy fragment and scattered out. Lu Sheng's palm spread out, and countless stars overflowed from his palm, and finally fell into the stable like petals blown away by the wind.

"Li-" A group of snow-white pegasus appeared in the stable, with silver horns, straight to the sky, and spread their wings, almost occupying the entire stable.

Looking up to the sky and hissing, mighty and extraordinary.

Seeing the majesty of the Pegasus, Ji Zheng's eyes straightened. Even with the wings and horns cut off, this white horse is fat and well-proportioned, full of speed and strength from any angle.

Coupled with a team of huge snow-white wings, a sharp horn that soars into the sky. Ji Zheng, who was so envious, couldn't wait to hold it in his arms immediately.

If you want to change the emperor who is more self-conscious or shameless, I'm afraid I will ask for it directly. But Ji Zheng was still more face-saving, leaving an envious look, and didn't say anything else in the end.

Pegasus retracted his wings, swept his eyes around and looked at the surrounding environment, as if he was very dissatisfied with the stable, snorted, and suddenly kicked the guardrail of the stable.

Then, with graceful footwork, he stepped out of the stable. came to Lu Sheng's side, lowered his head and rubbed Lu Sheng's shoulder.

"It seems that he doesn't like to live here, forget it, let's keep it free-range in the future. Uncle Qinβ€”"

"Master!" Uncle Qin seemed to be becoming more and more depressed and old-fashioned recently, just like a medieval English butler, his face was expressionless, and every word and sentence could not be faulted at a glance.

"Pegasus is in your care, what does it like to eat...... I don't know, just ask it yourself. Remember to brush your bristles every day and take a shower once every three days. ”

"Yes, young master!"

Lu Sheng took Ji Zheng to the cafeteria, just right, the hot bun fritters had just come out of the pot, and the fragrance was strong.

Ji Zheng, who has gradually recovered from the shock, seems to love this kind of down-to-earth food. In the past, when he was in the palace, he always asked the people around him, what do ordinary people eat? But the answers of the people around him were mostly empty, and after listening to a lot, he never had a substantive impression in his mind.

Eating breakfast at Lu Sheng's house today feels much more enjoyable than the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace.

"Shen Ling is going back to Beijing with me, Lu Qing, the candidate for the head town of Xuantian Mansion in Wuzhou, do you have any recommendations?"

"What's the matter? Shen Ling won't go back to Jinling......?

"Although the Sixiang family has its own fiefdom, the Sixiang family is buried in Baoshan, Jingzhou after death, and if the four of them are needed, they will be buried in the imperial mausoleum. And although I am the head town of Dayu Xuantianfu, it is a false name. Jingzhou Xuantian Mansion still needs someone to take the lead. ”

"Your Majesty, my ability is less than one-tenth of Lu Sheng's......, why don't you let Lu Sheng go to the Xuantian Mansion in Jingzhou?"

"Naturally, you think it's good! Jiangnan Flower World...... But Lu Sheng needs to sit in Chuzhou for me, Dayu Nineteen Prefectures, Chuzhou is the top priority! Also, don't forget, you are now the contemporary head of the Nanling Palace! Your father is gone, and you will accompany you!"

"How can a minister have the ability of an old man? following the emperor will only cause trouble to the emperor......"

"It's okay, I'll teach you!Lu Qing, who do you think is the right candidate for Wuzhou Xuantian Mansion?"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to think about this. Shen Ling has been in charge of Wuzhou for four years, but in fact, Duan Fei is in charge of Wuzhou Xuantian Mansion, right?"

"Nonsense, the most important job is still what I do. Shen Ling hurriedly retorted.

"What job?"

"Stamp!"

β€œ......”

"Okay, since Lu Qing recommended Duan Fei, Shen Ling, you can write a recommendation and hand it over, and Duan Fei will take over as the head town of Xuantian Mansion in Wuzhou.

This rebellion of the four independent cities also made me realize my previous mistakes, although the first emperor was strict and ruled the world with too murderous intentions, but he should not completely overturn the veto.

I shouldn't have used bottomless tolerance to win over the gate valve nobles. Some people have long ceased to share the glory and disgrace with Dayu. I was tolerant of them, but they took it for granted, and I was a little unsympathetic to them, and they did not hesitate to raise an army against them.

It's really ridiculous, Lu Qing, you're right, the glory of the ancestors belongs to the ancestors, and has nothing to do with future generations. I should not always remember the glory of their ancestors for the great achievements of Dayu, and I should also carefully evaluate the virtues and deeds of his descendants. ”

"The emperor is wise!"

"You don't have to say that, I'm tired of hearing it. Listening to General Meng Xin, who was guarding the city, he said that this time he was able to withstand the two-day continuous siege of the rebels in Xiliang City, and the workshop of Lu Qing's family contributed a lot. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Lu Sheng turned his head curiously to look at Lu Li.

"I know that He Taishou ordered all the workshops with rocker lathes in Chuzhou to put down their work and produce arrows with all their might. Originally, I thought that the cost of arrows to defend the city was very large, and I was afraid that the supply would exceed the demand, but I didn't expect that ten arrows were used in the city, and twenty could be grown in the workshop behind. Within two days, the Chuzhou workshop produced nearly a million arrows. ”

After listening to the explanation, Lu Sheng understood in an instant. In Chuzhou, which has entered industrialization, the productive forces are still very objective. Moreover, the basic supporting facilities are perfect, and because the furniture of Chuzhou has made a name, there is a large amount of wood in the factories of Chuzhou.

As for the arrowhead, there are also many sand tire mold workshops in Chuzhou, and this thing only needs to change a set of molds.

But......

Lu Sheng looked at Lu Lifu suspiciously, "You have created so many arrows, where did you get so many feathers?"

"Feathers are made of leaves from the feather tree!"

Lu Sheng suddenly realized, after all, it is not a world, and there are indeed many plants in this world that have never been seen in previous lives. One type of thorny feather tree is a tree that grows leaves that resemble ordinary flat willow leaves, but when the leaves are plucked and dried, the leaves turn into lines like feathers.

The stem of the leaf, on the other hand, is as hard as a spike, making it an excellent substitute for feathers.

"Lu Qing, I suddenly have an idea, do you know how long it will take me to make a million arrows for the Ministry of Industry?"

"I don't know. ”

"It took half a year to make a million arrows, and the cost required was 100,000 taels. And yesterday, He Xingzhi told me how much it cost to build 1.2 million arrows in three days?

50,000 taels, 1.2 million arrows were made in three days. Last night, my heart ached all night! I remembered that in the past, the silver taels spent by the imperial court on ordnance were calculated in millions of taels every year, and I ...... I beat my chest with hatred!

I knew that it could be so cheap and fast, why did I waste so much of the imperial court's expenditure?"

"Your Majesty, you can't count it like that. This is a manifestation of productivity, like the wheel of history, which can only move forward and cannot go backwards. In the past, there were no radial lathes, there were not so many workshops, and there was no assembly line processing. It is simply impossible to have such production efficiency. ”

"I naturally understand this truth, but since I have seen the speed and efficiency of the production of arrows in Chuzhou, I still need to maintain those wine bags and rice bags from the Ministry of Industry...... I raised it for one more day, and I felt like I was throwing silver into the river.

The silver I threw away was the hard-earned money of the people. I want to ...... I don't know if it's okay to hand over the ordnance processing work to Lu Qing, but Lu Qing, I am relieved. ”

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry cannot be abolished!" Lu Sheng hurriedly said nervously, for fear that the stimulated emperor would abolish the Ministry of Industry with a wave of his hand.

"I naturally understand that the Ministry of Industry is not only responsible for the manufacture of ordnance, but also for water conservancy construction, urban reconstruction, and even the reinforcement of city walls and river dredging. But those workshops directly under the Ministry of Industry, I can't tolerate it. ”

The minister felt that the joint venture with the civilian workshop would separate the arsenal from the structure of the Ministry of Industry, but it would be under the supervision and management of the Ministry of Industry. The management at all levels is based on the operation and management mode of the workshop, and is not subject to the official position of the imperial court, and only the director of the workshop is suspended in the Ministry of Industry. ”

Ji Zheng thought about it for a moment and nodded silently.

"Lu Qing, you write a piece of music, write down how to set up an arsenal, how to manage, and how to operate it and send it to the capital. But remember, don't be like last time, I don't have enough energy, I'm afraid I won't be able to read it. ”

"Obey the order!"

After eating at Lu Sheng's house, he then visited the effectiveness of the new policy in Chuzhou under the leadership of Lu Sheng and He Xingzhi.

Ji Zheng stayed very comfortably in Chuzhou, especially after seeing Chuzhou's prosperous economy and vitality, he was full of confidence in his country.

Only such an emperor can have the strength to do it. Seeing that during his reign, the lives of the people changed with each passing day, I was very gratified from the bottom of my heart.

But the capital, thousands of miles away, has become a mess. After the ban on Nancang Mansion, the news of the emperor's assassination reached the capital.

Before the bigwigs in the capital came to their senses, when King Qin's army was assembled, there was news that the emperor was safe and sound, and now he had gone to Chuzhou.

At this moment, the capital is very passive. It is not the king who sends troops to work, and it is not that he does not move his troops. On the same day, Ji Zheng's holy decree was sent to Beijing in a thousand miles of urgency.

"The affairs of the imperial court are carried out by the cabinet ministers through consultation, and everything in the capital is as usual, and no one is allowed to act rashly. ”

Although the holy decree came, and the emperor seemed to be really safe and sound, how could such a big incident not cause a stir? The four princes had already quarreled, and the six ministers looked like murderers and were suspected.

If it weren't for the five cabinet ministers, the Jingshi would have been in chaos a long time ago. But that's it, the emperor didn't hurry back to Beijing to stabilize the overall situation, and even went to Chuzhou to stay for three days.

The four princes took turns to send greeting letters to Ji Zheng, or one a day, and the implication was one meaning, begging Ji Zheng to return to the palace.

"Shen Ling, tell me, what do these four sons of mine want to ask me to return to the palace so eagerly?"

"Naturally, I care about the emperor's dragon body, and I also ask the emperor to return to Beijing to stabilize the overall situation. ”

"Do you really think so?"

"The emperor is assassinated, the hearts of the people in the capital must be fluctuating, and only when the emperor goes back can people's hearts be stable......"

"Believe it or not, as long as I return to the palace, countless excerpts of impeachment will be sent to my case the next day. ”

"Impeachment of His Royal Highness the Five Princes? Why is this? As long as anyone with a brain can see that although only the Five Princes are on the side of this assassination, even if it is successful, the Five Princes will definitely not be the beneficiary, and they will even be ruined in an instant. ”

"Whether or not Ji Yu did it doesn't matter to those people, the important thing is to pull Ji Yu off the horse and make him lose his qualification to command the army this time. ”
