Li Yongfang kowtowed and said: "The guilty minister, please don't kill the minister for the crime of traitor, and don't let the crime of traitor be declared to the world, and don't let them cast a kneeling statue again, or even make a urinal, like in southern Liaoning, Sun Chuanting They have made it, put it in the public toilet in the city, and let those untouchables like cows and horses also relieve themselves on the head of the minister's kneeling statue and insult the minister!" ”

As he spoke, Li Yongfang cried out: "Your Majesty! No matter how you say it, the criminal minister was also a fourth-grade guerrilla general of the Ming Dynasty before, a hereditary thousand-household official, how could he be so insulted! Although he is a king and a loser, he can't be insulted by a group of military untouchables! Whining! ”

Li Yongfang, as a former member of the Ming Dynasty, decisively led the whole clan to join Nurhachi shortly after Nurhachi raised his army, and before the Salhu happened, when the investment potential of Nurhachi's stock was not obvious, what was it for?

In the hope that he can rely on Nurhachi to be a minister of the dragon in the future.

Otherwise, with his position at that time, even if he abandoned the city and fled, there was no need to take refuge in Nurhachi, who had just rebelled.

Therefore, what Li Yongfang cares about is to leave a glorious page in the annals of history.

But he didn't expect that now the Ming court has set up a traitor crime, and he will let the Han people in the world humiliate him, which will undoubtedly leave him in history not glory, but ugliness, the same ugliness as Qin Hui, which is difficult for him to accept.

What Li Yongfang can't accept even more is that everyone can humiliate him, even ordinary people.

Therefore, Li Yongfang now begged to the apocalypse, and said: "I just ask Your Majesty not to deal with the ministers like this!" The minister promised that as long as His Majesty promised the minister and gave the minister a chance, the minister would settle Liao within three years for His Majesty! ”

Apocalypse said: "I can't promise you! I need to use you now to let the Han people in the world know that even if you hate me to the core, and don't want to be my official, you can't betray your own nation! ”

Li Yongfang fell to the ground in a daze after hearing this, and then he suddenly roared at Zhang Gui: "Uncle Zhang! You scourge! It's all because of you, because of you! I should have been the founder of Dajin, I should have been the noble of the new dynasty, and I should have been famous for centuries! ”

Zhang Gui just touched his nose and ignored Li Yongfang.

Next, because of the arrest of Nurhachi in Xichang, Zhang Gui himself was crowned as a Taishi as promised by the Apocalypse.

Ranwen

So far, Zhang Gui has become the youngest Taishi of the Ming Dynasty.

Tianqi was also convinced that Nurhachi was really captured, and asked Zhang Gui with interest: "You said that after Nurhachi was captured by my Da Mingsheng, what would Jiannu do?" ”

"In the humble opinion of the ministers, they will first find a way to cover up the news and avoid unstable people's hearts. In addition, I am afraid that there will be many people in my Ming Dynasty who want to cover up this news, and do not want people to know the exploits of Xichang, after all, the civil officials prefer that Xichang is just a Tianzi Eagle Dog Organization that brings disaster to the country and the people. ”

Zhang Gui replied.

Apocalypse nodded: "You're right. ”

Zhang Gui continued: "However, please rest assured, this is no longer up to them, since the minister can let the Industrial Division prepare chlorine gas and let Nurhachi and others suffer a big loss in this industrial product, then naturally through the industrial products of the Industrial Division, so that those who want to cover up this matter will not be able to do so, unless, Your Majesty is not willing to let the world know about the capture of Nurhachi and Li Yongfang in Xichang." ”

Apocalypse hurriedly asked, "What industrial product?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, now the Department of Industry has developed a new printing technology, using lithographs for mimeographing, printing workers only need to use grease to make ink, write the words to be printed on the lithograph, and then print after applying ink, because grease absorbs ink and repels water, and so that there is no need to arrange copper blocks."

"What's more, the printing cost is reduced, because the copper blocks are no longer used, so that the printing scale can be expanded in a short time, and only enough printing workers need to be trained, rather than waiting for a batch of copper blocks to be built before the printing scale can be expanded."

Zhang Gui replied.

After hearing this, Tianqi said excitedly: "I have to go and see, if I can really stop using movable type blocks, the market price of books in the world will undoubtedly plummet, and it will be even more difficult for the scholars to control their knowledge." This is a sharp weapon, a sharp weapon to weaken the power of the people! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Zhang Gui knew that the Apocalypse would realize the impact of the improvement of printing technology on the whole society, so he replied.

It didn't take long for the apocalypse to come to the printing workshop in Xishan.

This workshop was opened by the West Factory, using the printing equipment of the Industrial Division, and employing printing workers trained by the Industrial Division itself, and the purpose of the printing workshop opened by the West Factory was to provide technical support for the "Daming Daily" that had been established.

After the Apocalypse approved the reform of Yanlu, he ordered all officials to run newspapers.

Xichang was the first to respond, and directly set up a "Daming Daily".

Now after Tianqi arrived at the printing workshop of the "Daming Daily", he saw that a large number of printed copies of the latest issue of the "Daming Daily" were piled up in the warehouse, and the first page of these newspapers was written with a report that the hoe team of the West Factory had made great contributions in capturing Nurhachi and Li Yongfang, and the emperor rewarded the meritorious personnel of the West Factory.

Apocalypse was surprised to find that these newspapers were all carrying these contents: "So fast, they printed so much?" ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! This is the power of the new printing technology. ”

Zhang Gui replied.

Apocalypse walked to the printing workshop of the printing workshop, only to see a printer writing with a pen dipped in grease on the lithograph, while the printing worker on the side was already applying ink on another slate, and then, a printer was pasting the cut paper to print, and the whole was a first-class waterline.

Seeing this, Tianqi looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said: "Why didn't I think of adding a wooden machine, and while applying ink, I used my hand to shake a handle to emboss the paper, so that there is no need for people to emboss it specially, one person can do the work of two people, and it can be faster." ”

"Yes! And he said unto them to know. ”

Zhang Gui replied.

Apocalypse said: "Forget it, I'll go back and help him change it." ”

Then, the apocalypse said: "In fact, you can also build a large wooden turntable, the printing people all sit on the turntable to operate, so that you can rotate the turntable to operate, without getting up and running, you can also add some ingenuity on the turntable, it is best to use the rolling bearing skills you offered before, the sliding and printed finished products are directly driven out by the pulley, without running back and forth because of the finished product, and the workers do not have to work too hard." ”

"Your Majesty, you are an expert, and it is up to you to design."

Zhang Gui said with a smile.

Apocalypse nodded, and was a little eager to put his inspiration into practice: "Go back to the palace!" ”

Suddenly, Tianqi asked Wei Zhongxian, "Is there anything else to do tomorrow?" ”

Wei Zhongxian replied: "Tomorrow will be postponed!" ”

"It's going to be postponed again! It's so tiring to be an emperor! ”

"Did Mr. Sun arrange the time of my meridian extension too diligently?"

Tianqi suddenly felt annoyed, and said with an idea: "Give Mr. Sun a day off." Tomorrow, you go and tell Mr. Sun in person, just say that I have a headache, and I will cancel it after the extension! ”

"Yes!"

Wei Zhongxian agreed.

And Zhang Gui didn't plan to stop Apocalypse, a hobby of a tech nerd.

Next, after he sent Tianqi back to Xiyuan, he went directly to the Yamen of Xichang, preparing to reward the meritorious personnel of Xichang for capturing Nurhachi and Li Yongfang this time.

"He said: Jinyi Wei Qianhu, Xichang hoe and rape manager Xu Du, Liu Zongmin...... Xiao'e, a righteous citizen, made extraordinary contributions to the capture of Nurhachi and Li Yongfang by the traitor Si Sheng in the West Factory, which made me very happy...... Xu Du was crowned as the commander of Jinyi Weidu, and Liu Zongmin was the commander of Jinyi Weidu, and he was given 500 gold...... The righteous people Xiao'e gave 100 households of brocade clothes and 300 gold. ”
