All the people flocked to the side to watch the excitement, and some people dared to scold the Ministry of Supervision, a big piece of people's hearts. Everyone craned their necks to see what Green Bead was going to do with it.

"That's right! Lord Qian, you reminded me. The Ministry of Inspectorates can inspect your home, but it does not have the right to raid your home. Lu Zhu had a smile on her face, but a cold light burst out of her eyes.

"Humph! If you have a little power in your hand, you will flout the law of the land, and I will impeach you. When Lord Qian heard Lu Zhu's words, he behaved even more arrogantly, showing his teeth and claws like a mad dog.

"Yes! I don't have the right to raid your house, but I have the right to maintain order in the Supervision Department. You roared at the Ministry of Supervision and disrupted our office order, what crime should you be guilty of! The smile on Lu Zhu's face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a cold look in his eyes.

"I ......! This......! Lord Qian saw a large group of officials watching the excitement behind him, and he was speechless. A feeling of being fooled arises spontaneously!

"According to the "Da Ming Law", disrupting the order of the Yamen office, those who are minor can be sentenced to three days in the flail, and those who are in bad circumstances need to be transferred to the Yamen ......!" Mr. Qian was speechless, and the officials of the Supervision Department immediately stood up and recited the "Da Ming Law" as if eating and drinking.

"No need!" Lu Zhu interrupted the little official's display and pointed at Master Qian: "I think you didn't mean to make trouble, so I will spare you from going to the Yamen to accept the crime." ”

"Thank you, girl! Thank you, girl! You are Xiaguan's reborn parents, thank you! Thanks a lot! Lord Qian wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, after all, this girl didn't care about herself, otherwise she didn't know how ugly it would be to die this time.

"Don't be busy saying thanks, my yamen also has rules. Your business will be punished slightly. Come, bring the flail. and chained him to a large stone lion at the door, and put him in a flail for three days. As soon as Lu Zhu's words came out, everyone felt a chill down their backs. It's really easy not to make a move, and if you do, you will die. They are all officials, and everyone knows what the flail is all about.

Thirty pounds of things are carried around the neck, and if the flail is really for three days, this person will not be able to slow down for two or three months. If the servants do evil, and they do not eat or drink for three days, the man will die.

"I'll grass your grandma, you old virgin that no one marries. You don't have a fucking son in the future! Master Qian felt that he had been tricked by the knot, and pointed at Luzhu's nose in anger and scolded.

Lu Zhu didn't speak, and looked at him coldly.

"The court still has to be decent and take away his official mansion. The lock was taken to the outside flail for three days to set an example! ”

"No!" Immediately, a guard pounced like a hungry wolf and overturned Lord Qian with a punch.

Mr. Qian has been studying since he was a child, and he has never experienced this. was hit in the head by this punch, and the whole person was already dizzy. Let the guards rip off their official uniforms and carry them outside like chicks.

There were officials from the Criminal Department, and when they saw the flail, they knew that Lord Qian was dead this time.

It was a pair of 80-pound large flail, which was used on weekdays to be worn by death row prisoners or felons before they were sentenced. Eighty pounds is pressed on your shoulders, even if you are a big man, you can't carry it for long.

At first, people could sit next to the stone lions, but after a day, they could not sit still, so they could only lie down.

The weight of eighty catties was pressed on the chest, and in the end, even breathing was a problem. The more you breathe, the more tired you get, and the more tired you get, the more you have to breathe. People are trapped in a dead cycle, and they will die of exhaustion in less than three days.

The heroes on the rivers and lakes can't stand such a big flail, not to mention Qian Yuanwailang, a scholar who has no power to tie the chicken.

Money-sama this time! Dead!

The guards didn't care about this, and untied the iron chain from the guard dog of the Ministry of Supervision and put it directly around Lord Qian's neck. An eight-pound lock locks people with a "click". The key was put in his pocket, and he turned around and went back to his life.

Although the temperature inside and behind the capital is very warm, it is far from being able to hang out in a vest and pants. Poor Lord Qian was pressed by a flail of eighty pounds. It was hard to even catch his breath, so he simply saved the time of standing. Directly half lying down and half sitting in front of the stone lion, after a while, his face began to turn purple and began to stick out his tongue.

What a lesson from the past!

Some of the officials in the team quietly withdrew, ready to fill out a new copy of their application form. The noisy fellows immediately became in order, and the long line occasionally exchanged heads, but no one made any loud noises.

There has also been a change on the part of the Ministry of Supervision, and each official has handed over his own materials. The Ministry of Supervision issues a receipt, and you can go home and go home, and you can go to work. As for the inventory of the private property of the officials, that was a matter for later. Today, we have collected all the materials first, so that a large number of officials will not be piled up in the Ministry of Supervision, and the various ministries of the imperial court will have to work.

In one day, hundreds of officials in the imperial court, large and small, submitted their own materials. When the last person walked out of the gate before the Ministry of Supervision got off work, Mr. Qian at the door was already lying on the ground, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

As for the two household officials, Lu Xiangsheng conducted an open trial in accordance with the principle of special affairs.

Everyone knew the outcome of the trial, and it must have been that there must be witnesses and physical evidence, as well as stolen money that had been turned up from home. In these years, no one has turned over these things.

The trial went unusually well, but the verdict was surprising. Or even shock!

According to past experience, this kind of thing is a big deal to arrange an exile. The convict and his family traveled 3,000 miles, and they were either sent to Heilongjiang to suffer from the cold, or they were sent to Lingnan to be exposed to the sun. The latest sentence may be to send Australia to manage a group of Southeast Asian savages to open mines.

It can be said that Daming's punishment of officials in recent years is still very humane.

The heads of these two household departments are far from being treated humanely.

When Lu Xiangsheng said the word Ling Chi in his mouth, everyone was stunned.

How many years has it been since the beheadings have been performed, and now they are suddenly going to Ling Chi people? I saw it a few years ago, but at that time, when there was a war, Ling Chi was also a person who committed the most evil crimes. Unexpectedly, a small corruption would also be sentenced to Ling Chi.

Of course, Li Xiao would not let go of such a good educational opportunity, and the killing of these two chickens was to deter those restless monkeys.

"Officials in Beijing, all of whom are above the ninth rank participate in the punishment." Li Xiao said while reviewing the drawings.

"All the above nine grades participate in the punishment?" Zhang Huangyan was stunned for a moment, there was no such rule in the past.

"That's right! Officials above the ninth grade will all participate. Don't miss a single person, eh...... It is also forbidden to report illness. Li Xiao didn't raise his head, still looking at the huge drawing below.

"Mr. Sun, he ......!"

"No one is wrong, no one is allowed to be sick!" Li Xiao raised his head and glanced at Zhang Huangyan dissatisfied.

"Uh......! Promise! Zhang Huangyan had no choice but to invite Sun Chengzong in person.

"Wouldn't this be too much, after all, Mr. Sun is also ......!" Li Xiu stood beside Li Xiao and said carefully.

"Mr. Sun's wisdom is not something you and I can guess, and it is not a matter of being stuffy in the house all the time. It might be better to come out and breathe. ”

Li Xiu pouted, it would be better for a sick person to see a living person? He wasn't going to pay attention to Li Xiao's fallacies, so he let his eldest brother see the latest warship. This is the first warship produced at the Java shipyard and the first warship made of steel produced by an Australian steel mill.

The main plant of this battleship reached three hundred meters in length and ninety meters in width. It has ten boiler machines to provide power, and the calculated displacement reaches 11,000 tons. This is a true sea giant, and the two 360 mm triple forward guns alone set a world record.

None of the warships known today could withstand such shells. As long as one shot goes down, the lightest is also seriously injured. Even a near-miss could cause damage to a warship.

All in all, it's a standard steel behemoth.

"It's very good, just follow this drawing. However, it cannot be produced in Java. Must be produced in Port Arthur! After reading this drawing for a long time, Li Xiao finally knew how expensive it was to build a ship in the era of big ships and huge guns.

The ship was built at a cost of 1,550,000 silver coins. And that's not even counting the possible changes in the later stages, as adding some new weapons could cost as much as 1.6 million credits.

"But the Java shipyard has been almost built, and it will be able to produce ...... starting this year!"

"War is not only fought by warships, but also by large quantities of supply ships. Besides, the merchant ships that are now sailing in the South China Sea. Most of them are still sailing ships along the coast of Fujian, and it makes sense that I don't allow them to go to the sea.

When this kind of sailing ship goes to sea, it is to hand over its life to God. In the South China Sea, along the coast of Cochin, you can also have a chance to enter the port to take shelter in case of a typhoon or something.

Out of the Xinjiapo Strait, where is there a place to supply them? That's why I want them to unload their goods in Xinjiapo and then be trafficked by Arabs or Europas.

The shipyards on the island of Java can not only produce warships. It is also possible to produce ships, which are sold to those maritime merchants along the coast of Fujian, and they should be happy. In this way, some small maritime merchants can be squeezed out. Let the state's control targets be smaller, and when there are only a few large maritime merchants floating, the smuggling problem can be solved.

Another reason is that there is no outflow of local technical talent. We must always master the best technology in our own hands, and we can no longer be stolen by Wu Sangui unscrupulously.

The geniuses of Oxford and Cambridge, and indeed of Europa as a whole, are now almost concentrated in India. Wu Sangui is very willing to spend money in this regard, and in the near future, their technology will catch up with or even surpass us. That's what worries me the most, because a great man once said that if you fall behind, you will be beaten.

When I defeated the Tartars, it was not that our Liao army could fight better than the Eight Banners. In fact, on the contrary, if in hand-to-hand combat, the Eight Banners of the Tartars casually pulled out a flag, we are not opponents.

But I made smokeless gunpowder and flintlock pistols, and the superiority of the weapons made us grind the Tartars to death. If it weren't for the advantage in weapons, our brothers would be able to beat the drum with their bones now. ”

"Maybe it was made into a wine glass by Huang Taiji!" Li Xiu was on the side to help joke.

"That's right! Maybe it was made into a wine glass by Huang Taiji. So, we can't afford to be left behind. Backwardness is a disaster! Let the Xu brothers train talents in Jinzhou Institute of Technology. If the country wants to be strong, it will definitely not be able to do without these technical talents.

In the future, they will receive more funding and stronger support. Perhaps, there is more information. ”
