Zhu Qizhen just watched quietly, and only after the officials shouted that they were tired did he pull out Yang Shan, the household secretary he brought.

He pointed at Yang Shan and asked, "Tell them, have you used a penny of silver from the imperial court to build a shipyard and a port?" ”

Yang Shanlang replied: "All the expenses are paid by the internal funds, and the imperial court has not paid a penny, but because of the completion of the port, the imperial court's taxes have increased, which is really a hundred benefits and no harm." ”

Yu Shan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, did not agree with this statement, "The internal capital is also the power of the Ming Dynasty, if the emperor wastes it at will, where will the people of the world put their efforts?" ”

Zhu Qizhen stared at him directly, and it wasn't until Yu Shan's heart was furious that he spoke: "The world's mineral deposits are all the family treasures of the Son of Heaven, and my family affairs are also what your courtiers should say?" ”

"Minister......" Yu Shan still wanted to refute, but Zhu Qizhen would not give him a chance to speak.

"The rest of you want to take care of my family affairs too?" Zhu Qizhen looked at the minister who was kneeling.

In fact, the number of people looks like a lot, and this Yu Shan is the one with a little weight, and the rest are all petty officials (below the fourth grade) who are not in the stream, and seeing that the emperor's tone is heavy, all of them are lower.

Seeing that no one replied, Zhu Qizhen didn't wait any longer, and gave an order to Jinyiwei: "Drag people out and hand them over to the Criminal Department, so that they can teach this Lord Yu the duty of a courtier."

By the way, let Wang Zhi go and have a look, see what his subordinates are like, and all of them will reach out to my house, and whether this throne will also be under their control in the future! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Qizhen paused and then asked the officials present: "If you don't leave, I will be dealt with according to your thoughts with Yu Shan." ”

Under the instruction of Zhu Qizhen, Jin Yiwei had already dragged Yu Shan away, and Yu Shan's shouts along the way made people's scalps tingle.

The ministers finally stopped stiffening, kowtowed and retreated one by one, and the black courtiers finally disappeared here.

That night, some ministers got drunk and said a lot of "heartfelt words".

What emperor is violent, and it is difficult for courtiers to do.

There is also a tight financial situation in the imperial court, and the emperor doesn't know how to do something serious with his internal money, so he just makes some strange inventions every day, and sneers at the miracle fund set up by Zhu Qizhen.

There are even some voices of unknown origin who say that this is a symbol of the death of the country.

And after Zhu Qizhen knew the news, he didn't have the previous excesses, and after nodding his head to indicate that he knew, he let Guo Mao leave.

The treasure ship sank

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

A month later, in the Huangming Shipyard, which was still brightly lit at night, Zhu Qiyu and Yu Shan, father and son, were busy concentrating on the salvaged hull.

For the past month, everyone has been sleepless, holding all the pieces and looking over and over.

reviewed all the shipbuilding processes again, and even released the remaining treasure ships into the water for sea trials several times.

After identifying a problem that was not a manufacturing process, a breakthrough discovery was made.

"Found it! Father! Lord, I found it! Yu Xiuyi shouted excitedly.

For so many days, because of the craftsman's fear of committing suicide, everyone has never found the real cause of the accident.

In order to ensure foolproof success, finding the real cause of the accident and avoiding such loopholes has always been the top priority of Zhu Qiyu's work.

Hearing that Yu Xiuyi had a new discovery, Zhu Qiyu also came with anticipation and excitement.

"What? What went wrong? Zhu Qiyu came crookedly on the plank.

When he got closer, Yu Xiuyi showed what he was holding: a thick iron sheet that had been torn, and a jagged wooden plank, all with obvious marks of polishing.

"Look, Lord Wang! Over here! Yu Xiuyi pointed to the polishing marks and gave Zhu Qiyu a look.

Zhu Qiyu naturally knew that this place was different from other places, but after all, it was not as professional as Yu Xiuyi, so he just nodded and waited for the following.

Yu Hai sighed, "This is deliberately thinning this place, causing the bottom pressure of the boat to be different, and after the launch is subjected to huge water pressure, the hull will be ruptured, which is the real cause of this accident!" ”

With Yu Hai, an old connoisseur, Zhu Qiyu did not hesitate.

On the one hand, he asked Yu Hai and the others to rebuild the treasure ship, and on the other hand, he ordered everyone to enter the treasure ship that had been built, and be sure to check it repeatedly, so as not to make mistakes.

He also asked all the docks to store water in advance, just waiting for Zhu Qizhen to open the gate and go to sea, and then left in a hurry, he wanted to report this conclusion to Zhu Qizhen as soon as possible.

After Zhu Qiyu left, the shipyard began to get busy again, and all the craftsmen began to work under the command of Yu Hai and his son, and resumed work in full swing.

"Tian Kun, Tian Li, you two take people to bring all the lacquer and tung oil, time is not waiting, you can't do it slowly, you have to rebuild this treasure ship as soon as possible!"

Yu Xiuyi commanded the two bald heads to go to the paint room, these were the two homeless brothers who were recruited.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Because they had no identity, they were censored for a while at that time, and the Tian brothers who were supposed to be driven out, it was Yu Xiuyi who saw that the two brothers were down-to-earth and willing to work hard, so they said good things and kept the people.

"Hey, ahem, okay sir!" The two of them said yes and ran away, acting far more actively than the others.

Yu Xiuyi retracted his gaze and turned to go where he was needed more.

In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Qi calmly listened to Zhu Qiyu's detailed report, although he had long known that someone was deliberately causing trouble, and even the troublemakers had committed suicide in fear of crime.

But finally determined the link that went wrong, and Zhu Qizhen was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

The most important thing now is to break the rumors of the past in a more perfect form.

"Jin Ying, press up the printing of the details of this matter and publish it in the Daming Daily and the Forbidden Times of your celebrant eunuch.

Remember to use the largest page to tell everyone that someone deliberately obstructed the West, and it has nothing to do with the ancestors of the ancestors.

I would also like to explain that I will choose an auspicious day to go to Tianjin to preside over the ceremony of going to sea! ”

The celebrant later also set up a newspaper, mainly because the Daming newspaper was dominated by courtiers, and Zhu Qizhen was afraid that they would be mixed with too many personal emotions and affect the original intention of his decree.

This made the celebrant also run a newspaper, because it was run by the celebrant superintendent, and the Forbidden Times was also known as the imperial newspaper.

It is a must-have reading material for students participating in the imperial examination, and its influence has covered the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time.

With the publication of this incident, everyone knew that someone deliberately hindered Western activities, and the people hated this matter.

The main reason is that it hinders the prestige of the Ming Dynasty from spreading overseas, and affects the dignity of the Ming Dynasty, especially for students.

In addition, some people say that this is because they don't want the emperor to waste money and food, and it is better to take out more money to improve the lives of the people.

The smallest voice said that this was a deliberate assassination, and someone wanted to disturb the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qizhen just laughed it off after knowing it, and half a month later, he went to Huangming Shipyard again, this time there were no waves, and the treasure ship sailed into the Bohai Sea for half a day before coming back and anchored in Tianjin Port.

"Fei Xin, Ma Huan, the two of you are optimistic about the opportunity and ready to go to the West at any time!" Zhu Qizhen left with such a sentence in a hurry.

For a while, everyone seemed to see the grand occasion of the great Ming Dynasty once again.
