Wang Gong Factory.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, firearms began to be used, and in the Yongle period, firearms manufacturing has developed greatly, and the three major battalions stationed in the capital are the main force directly under the center of the imperial court, equipped with the most advanced firearms in the world, for which the imperial court has set up six gunpowder factories near the Shijuma Street in Fucaifang, southwest of the capital, all the lead and gunpowder required for operating firearms are manufactured here, and most of the firearms used by the imperial army come from this block.

Zhu Hao wore civilian clothes and went with Tang Yin to meet the representatives of the Bao and Huang craftsmen who came to Beijing from Wuzhong, respectively Bao Liben, who is in his 40s and is good at wood carving and stone carving, and Huang Dan, who is good at iron casting.

Zhu Hao appreciated the collection of the Forbidden City, which is a horn cup made by Bao Tiancheng, a rhinoceros horn sculptor in Wuzhong, but Bao Tiancheng is a figure in the late Ming Dynasty, but I don't know if he is a descendant of the Bao family, and I don't know if it has anything to do with this Bao Liben.

In the Daming Wang Gong factory, there are already many "firearms experts", and there is no need for Zhu Hao to worry too much about the firearms transformation process.

Bao Liben and Huang Dan, one old and one young, were very polite to Tang Yin.

Tang Yin has a great reputation in Wuzhong, and now he is doing things for the new emperor, and the Bao family and the Huang family are also taking care of Tang Yin, a "big man" in the court, so they will give face and bring their families to the capital to participate in the selection of craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, they actually don't know what they are going to do.

Although Bao Liben is old, he is not good at words, and Zhu Hao can't understand the soft language of Wu Nong, and Huang Dan, as a young man, speaks well in the northern dialect.

The main communication is done by Huang Dan.

「…… Lord Tang, I'm just fighting for the promotion of small people, doing some small business, but I don't know how to serve the imperial court? When I was about to arrive in the capital, I heard that the imperial court was now opening a coal kiln, but I didn't have the ability to burn coal......

Huang Shan originally thought that there was a big deal in Beijing for this time, but when he heard Tang Yin's rumors on the way, he realized that Tang Yin was only a nominal "big official", and his official quality was even inferior to that of the local prefect.

and heard that Tang Yin was only responsible for helping the emperor open a coal mine, and their expectations couldn't help but be greatly reduced.

Tang Yin said: "The matter of the coal kiln has nothing to do with you, let's talk about it first, a three-month probationary period, at least one tael of silver per person per month, and a one-time settlement fee of five taels of silver per person......

Huang Shan and Bao Liben couldn't help but glance at each other,

From Wuzhong to the capital, if you add the time on the way back and forth, it takes five months, and a person can earn eight taels of silver, which is actually very good.

Huang Shan asked, "What if you can choose it?"

Without waiting for Tang Yin to answer, Zhu Hao smiled and said, "The minimum salary is three taels of silver per month, and it can be added in the future."

"Santael, did you hear me right?"

Huang Shan was surprised.

A county magistrate only earns forty taels a year, why can a craftsman get thirty-six taels?

These years are the official standard, and it is natural for an official to earn more than others, and craftsmen have always been oppressed, who has no social status at all?

Tang Yin didn't know what Zhu Hao was going to do, but before he came, he was told by Zhu Hao, but he still didn't know anything about it.

Now that Zhu Hao himself has stood up and said that he has a lot of peace of mind.

Zhu Hao said: "The Bao family is very good at carving, right? I heard that the Huang family's iron smelting is a must? Now we are going to make the finest iron, the same as what you have forged in the past...... It might be a little different."

Huang Shan asked, "What's so strange about ironware? I don't know if it's a blade or a horse's kick?

"Hey, do you know what a spring is?"

Zhu Hao glanced at the two of them with a smile, and then asked, "What about the bearings?"

Huang Shan and Bao Liben glanced at each other, feeling that they were listening to the book of heaven.

"The drawings and everything are ready-made, if you can't cast them for a while, you can pull the wire first, our iron is not ordinary pig iron, it is the best steel, you will know when you see it...... As for the Bao family, the main task is to create some wooden or rock bases, which must be compliant and fine to the millimeter...... You can do it for the time being

If you don't understand these new words, it's up to you to make the difference......

Zhu Hao originally wanted to recruit more craftsmen.

Now the Bao family and the Huang family have their own strengths, and for the time being, they will use their strengths for their own use.

As for the Huang family, who made iron tools, they did not let them take a sledgehammer to strike iron, but let them build fine iron devices, especially modules, for the production of steam engines, textile machines and even ship components, for mass production of molds and products.

"Mr. Tang, I'll take them to Xishan in a few days, let's get used to the environment first, but before leaving...... It's better for each of you to send someone to me to learn, some things can be made now, but some things are only on drawings, have a shape, and you need to make them with your own knowledge."

When Zhu Hao was manufacturing steam engines and textile machines, he found a big problem, that is, ordinary carpenters, blacksmiths, etc., because of their rough craftsmanship, it was difficult to complete some delicate work.

It is also because in this era there is no need to make the device very fine, and when encountering those unheard of devices, ordinary craftsmen cannot build them.

This is an important reason why Zhu Hao wants to recruit skilled craftsmen in various places.

I thought that the craftsmen invited by Su Xigui might be barely competent, but now they need more professional people to bind them with high-paying contracts and the deterrent power of the imperial court to help Zhu Hao's road to industrialization and Mingming.

……

……

Zhu Hao then inspected the craftsmanship of Bao Liben and Huang Dan.

Sure enough, it is a unique skill handed down by the family, at least these two representatives have very good abilities.

Tang Yin was a little shadowy about going to Xishan again, but fortunately, this time Zhu Hao explained that he asked him to send people to Xishan, so that the two families could see the living and working environment in Xishan, and they could return to Beijing after settling them down, so Tang Yin didn't have any emotions.

The next morning, Zhu Si finally sat down with illness and coughed a few times.

Yang Tinghe held back very hard, eager to know his brother's situation, but unfortunately the other ministers did not open their eyes, mainly mentioning the invasion of the Northwest Tatars, the military aircraft discussed the matter for a morning, Yang Tinghe was embarrassed to speak by himself, and no one helped him start.

"Ahem!"

Zhu Si couldn't help it, and finally took the initiative to propose, "Ladies and gentlemen, something has happened in the past two days, that is, Yang Tingyi, the squire of the military department, was involved in an old case a few years ago, and there were many impeachments by the imperial historians.

The ministers held their breath.

If it were someone else, someone might have come out to debate with the little emperor a long time ago, but Yang Tingyi ......

This person is very special in the court.

He is not only Yang Tinghe's younger brother, but he is hated by many ministers, mainly because Yang Tingyi has no "bottom line" in doing things, Liu Jin was desperately attached to it when he was in power, and later Liu Jin fell and was directly included in the list of eunuchs, but because of Yang Tinghe's relationship, he was not imprisoned for questioning.

Later, the officials became higher and higher, mainly due to the prestige of Yang Tinghe in the court, especially at the end of the Zhengde Dynasty, after Yang Tinghe was the first assistant, Yang Tingyi first supervised the Yizhou Mountain Factory with the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, and then transferred to the right attendant of the military department, and the left attendant of the military department...... Subsequently, he was sick and at home.

No matter which position he is in, Yang Tingyi has corrupt and perverted the law, and it is not very secretive, and almost everyone knows about it.

This made Yang Ting and the people of the faction very unwilling to face it.

No matter how prestigious your Yang Ting and the DPRK are, isn't it a bit ...... to have such an indecent younger brother Isn't it a thing?

The emperor told Yang Tingyi about it, but no one came out to help Yang Tingyi speak, which is enough to show how unpopular this person is.

Zhu Sidao: "I will never embarrass incumbent or outgoing officials for no reason, this is just a routine questioning, I strictly ordered that no one should be tortured, do you have any objections to this?"

Yang Tinghe wanted to wait for others to come out and speak for his younger brother.

It's a pity that even if someone wants to help Yang Tingyi speak, but when he heard the emperor say that he didn't plan to use torture, he thought what else could he say? There is ginseng

Impeachment, even if it is a little unreasonable, but maybe it is a kind of protection for Yang Ting and his younger brother? still didn't mention this person, discrediting his career.

Zhu Si waited, but no one came out to speak, and even Yang Tinghe was silent, and his heart suddenly blossomed.

Previously, because of the problem of the selection of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, he was full of grievances, but now he feels that the field has been recovered.

Zhu Si looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "Elder Yang Ge, don't misunderstand me, after my son ascended the throne, he has always paid attention to treating the people with leniency, and there have been many turbulences in the past...... What do you think?"

How could Yang Tinghe not hear what Zhu Si was referring to?

In the past, the cases of Wang Qiong, Lu Wan and other traffic Ning Wang and She Chen were led by Yang Tinghe, and there was a trend of expansion.

Zhu Si wanted to prevent the case from continuing to be implicated, but Yang Tinghe did not allow it.

Now it's Yang Tingyi's turn...... If you Yang Tinghe has the ability to say anything that would rather be in vain than indulge, at that time, it was you who pushed your younger brother into the fire pit.

Yang Tinghe raised the wat board, arched his hand, and did not reply.

Love what's wrong.

"I have always believed that only by leniency and the law can we comfort the people, I wonder if you still have any opinions?" Zhu Sixian asked Yang Tinghe, and then asked the ministers present.

The ministers saw that even Yang Tinghe didn't come forward to say the right thing, so who would come out to give their opinions?

Besides, there is nothing wrong with the emperor's words themselves.

After experiencing the chaos of the Zhengde Dynasty, how could he still govern his subjects with severe punishment and strict laws?

Aren't you afraid?

"Okay, I'll find out the results in the next two days, and I hope that for some less serious cases, if they can be pardoned, they will be pardoned...... If you can lighten it, you will lighten it."

Zhu Si had the demeanor of a benevolent monarch, "I also want to give amnesty to the world at the time of the wedding, if you have any opinions on this, please put it forward."

Amnesty has been practiced in all dynasties.

Zhu Si brought it up at this time, and it was not abrupt.

When Zhu Si ascended the throne, there was no act of amnesty, because at that time, Jiang Bin, Qian Ning and others, as well as their comrades, had to be severely punished, and it could not be said that the responsibility of these people could be ignored or commuted.

At that time, it was timely to impose harsh punishments.

Now after more than a year of purging, it seems that it is time to be lenient, and Zhu Si proposed amnesty at this time, which should play a role in winning people's hearts.
