Chapter 405: Heaven and Earth
Two days later, a bill entitled "On the Establishment of the Nanchang Intelligence Point" was sent to the House of Representatives.
The House of Representatives, which was not yet in its capacity, quickly completed its vote and passed the bill.
According to the bill, the Nanchang station will be used as a cover for the "heaven and earth" building, and will be engaged in intelligence gathering, making friends with local celebrities, business and trade, and assisting in the collection of displaced people.
At present, the intelligence agencies of Eastern Qin do not exist independently, nor do they have a special intelligence network, and the news is transmitted by the compradors of the Ming State.
The customs offices of the four ports of opening have been responsible for searching for intelligence in the four provinces, and they have also been extremely successful in making friends with celebrities.
In the local area, it has even won the support of the common people, and many men who carry bags are grateful to the "East Qin Master".
The information that Yan Zheng cared about the most was not a palace secret, let alone a policy change in the Ming court, but a report on the disasters in various parts of the Ming Kingdom.
Where there is a disaster, there will definitely be victims, these victims are the "unstable factor" in the eyes of the local government, but they are a valuable labor force in the eyes of Yan Zheng, and they are willing to follow if they give them food. As long as he arrived in Dongqin, after two months of quarantine, he was a good hand at farming and working.
This is the biggest reason why he must obtain the right to inland waterway. Only by going deep into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty will the scope of population be greatly expanded.
……
As soon as this bill was passed, the ceramics factory, the carpentry factory, the glass factory and the mold factory all began to work.
According to this proposal, Dongqin's daily chemical products will also usher in a wave of upgrades.
There are not only ceramic bathtubs, squatting toilets, massage chairs, foot massage basins, etc., but also a lot of fresh gadgets.
These are all in order for the "heaven and earth" to be different, Yan Zheng compiled the experience of lingering in the city of washing feet in his previous life.
In addition to these hardware, there are also explanations of various techniques, projects, big jobs, and so on.
Although Yan Zheng is not a professional, he can "become a doctor after a long illness", and he still has these things at his fingertips.
He dared to guarantee that as soon as the "heaven and earth" opened, the famous prostitutes in Jiangnan would be eclipsed. At that time, if you want to make friends with celebrities and negotiate business, heaven and earth will be a good place to go.
It's just that after Li Fenglai got these booklets, his pale face instantly distorted.
The king's requirements for "talents" are too high, and I am afraid that the Yingying Yanyan who was bought in the Ming Kingdom will have to study well in order to understand the mystery.
He ran to the ceramics factory with the drawings and acted as an overseer.
At present, the manager of the ceramic factory is Yang Si, and when he saw the large object of the bathtub, he instantly felt pressure.
The difficulty is to make a model, this thing is not like a water tank, but there are certain curves and fluctuations.
Yang Si first contacted the mold factory and asked them to try to build an iron mold according to the drawings.
He himself began to study how to design the kiln to ensure that this large object would not crack during the cooling process.
In the end, he chose the method of a flat glass factory, connecting the kiln to the annealing furnace, and using artificial methods to control the annealing speed, extending the time to about ten days.
Although it is a bit troublesome, the properties of glass are not as stable as porcelain, and such a long annealing time is enough to ensure that this large porcelain will be intact.
This is the convenience brought by the general flowering of technology, once a place becomes a dense area of technology growth, then the mutual learning of technology in this place will greatly improve efficiency.
……
Twenty days later, the first ceramic bathtub was delivered to the Red Room, along with a squatting toilet and a tin water tank.
These two things are definitely luxuries, although they can make the bath more comfortable and the toilet cleaner, but it is very troublesome.
If it weren't for the fact that "Heaven and Earth" lived up to its name, Yan Zheng would not have gone to great lengths to create these two things.
The three life secretaries surrounded these two things, and they all had curious expressions on their faces.
"Your Majesty, this bathtub is for bathing, so what is this basin for?" Lan Ya asked with a big belly.
"!" Yan Zheng said simply.
Haha - a burst of laughter, on porcelain, this is a bit subversive of their common sense.
Yan Zheng also smiled and said: "Don't underestimate this squatting toilet, it can't be popularized on a large scale right now, but when it comes to popularization, the improvement of hygiene is not ordinary!" ”
Yumo looked at it for a while, and couldn't guess how to use it, she smiled and said: "What is this, the old men of the Ming Kingdom, there are several maids waiting for a!" ”
Yan Zheng nodded, this thing is only used by the master.
What to use people as spittoons, take sugar water shabu-shabu, and pull to be served by a special person, and only the literati of the Ming Kingdom will have so much money that they will make trouble.
…………
Nanchang, Ningwangfu.
After Zhu Chenhao received the reply, he immediately did not resist cooperating with Dongqin in the slightest.
Because Yan Zheng handed over the monopoly of Eastern Qin copper coins in Jiangxi to him.
This is a direct gift to him a business that makes a steady profit and does not lose money, and there is basically no risk.
Coupled with the previous commitments, it seems to be full of sincerity for cooperation.
The only thing that surprised him was that this black-man monarch actually saw his rebellious intentions.
also gave a straightforward promise, and did not hide it at all.
Although this made him a little uncomfortable, he also felt so honest, even if he was not a true gentleman, he must be a real villain.
And right now, he is really short of money, and if he says hello in the capital, he will inevitably ask for 10,000 taels of silver.
"Lord Wang, the day before yesterday, Liu Jin and several imperial officials have already accepted our gifts and promised to help us, but they are just ...... None of them gave a letter! ”
King Ning had already expected it, and said with a faint smile: "Restoring the guards is not an overnight thing, don't worry about this time, what is the saying after Liu Jin received the gift?" ”
"Gonggong Liu said that he is only a eunuch of the Bell and Drum Division at the moment, and he can barely support it by relying on the holy family, and he can make a premise on the emperor's premise, but the military department will not agree!"
"This dead eunuch can see it clearly!" King Ning smiled, "In this case, just give Liu Jin a heavy gift again, this person is not like a scheming person, if he really wants to fight, he will not necessarily lose!" ”
Li Shishi nodded with a smile and said: "What the prince said is extremely true, it is said that last month, the emperor ordered the whipping of the admonishing officials, so it seems that Liu Jin's holy family is not ordinary!" ”
"Hmph, little Cao! The father is weak, and the son is so mediocre, this throne should not be let to sit in this vein! King Ning scolded fiercely, and he often lamented the injustice of fate, so that a son like Zhu Houzhao could also ascend to the throne.
Li Shishi hurriedly complimented and said: "Don't be anxious, last year a burst of purple gas rose in Nanchang, soaring into the sky, auspicious clouds covering the sky, which shows that the will of heaven is here, and the real dragon is here!" ”
A smile appeared on the corner of King Ning's mouth, after the death of Emperor Hongzhi, there was a Taoist chief of Longhu Mountain, who once said that he saw a cloud of purple gas in Nanchang.
Although there is no direct name, there are faint legends among the people, saying that King Ning is the destiny of heaven.
"Have you done what you asked you to do for the people?"
"Mr. Liu has already done it, and it should be done soon, it's not for us to come forward ourselves!" Li Shishi replied.
King Ning sighed and said, "There is no trivial matter, in the future, when dealing with the Huang people, you need to be more careful!" ”
"The villain understands, but ......" Li Shishi hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "The villain thinks that if the prince can lead the black man as his backing, the big thing will be able to succeed as soon as possible!" ”
King Ning's eyes changed, he glanced at Li Shishi and said, "It's easy to please God, but it's hard to send God!" You'd better not have this thought! ”
"Lord Wang!" Li Shishi raised his tone and said: "The villain has been collecting information about the people these days, what the people are plotting is only population and commerce, as long as we promise to increase the ports for the people to open and close, allow them to collect the population more conveniently, so that the people can send troops to help, the southeast half of the wall can be pacified in an instant!" ”
King Ning frowned, shook his head and said, "Jiangshan Sheji, how can you bring foreign countries to the same room?" In the past, Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty used Tubo to quell the civil strife, but the result was that Tubo plundered the pass for ten days, and if the king wanted to rebel, he would definitely win a dignified and upright victory! ”
"But the villain heard that the Beijing division has selected 3,000 people from the Beijing camp to form a new firearms army! It is said that Liu Shiyong's method of military training is no different from the army of the black people! The villain thought that if the imperial court was allowed to train a few new armies of firearms, and the firearms were really so sharp, then ......"
Li Shishi said that this stopped, and he was secretly anxious in his heart, now that the imperial court could get the benefit of firearms, and King Ning was accumulating strength with peace of mind, and he was also facing more variables.
King Ning thought for a while, sighed and shook his head, he said secretly: "If this king is really destined for heaven, no matter how many new troops Zhu Houzhao has, he can't stop it!" ”
