Chapter 210: Shi Heng impeaches Fan Guang

"Okay, my general of the Ming Dynasty, you must have this kind of courage, do everything as if you are about to go into battle, and never slack off!"

Zhu Di stood up, in front of everyone, affectionately patted the bitter shoulder on Liu Ju's armor shoulder, and said, "I will hand over these good sons and daughters to you, and in a month, I want to see them with a new look!"

"Obey!" Liu Ju shouted loudly: "Please forgive Your Majesty for the crime of not being able to accompany Your Majesty on patrol anymore!"

"Go ahead, it's business, I have nothing to blame." Zhu Di said with a smile, then turned his head and said to Wang Quan, who was suddenly distracted:

"The old man will do the handover here, and he won't have to accompany me anymore."

Wang Quan came back to his senses and said in a loud voice, "Yes... Obey the order..."

After the martial arts field, the group came to the Inner House Armory, because this was a sudden inspection, many places did not prepare in advance, and the little officials of the Inner House Armory were sleeping at the door.

The so-called Inner Arsenal is an arsenal under the jurisdiction of the Inner Military Bureau, which is full of swords, guns, swords, halberds and the latest weapons made by the Military Bureau.

At present, there are two yamen in the Ming Dynasty to manufacture weapons, which are divided into the inner government and the outer government.

The inner house is a war bureau, and the embroidered spring sword and the exquisite brocade guard saber are made by the Ariji who is subordinate to the war bureau.

In addition, the War Bureau is mainly responsible for the manufacture of iron locks, needles and scissors, and bells and drums used in the palace on weekdays, and when there is a need, it will also take into account knives, guns, swords, halberds, whips, axes, helmets, armor, bows, lost and other ordnance and armor.

The Gunpowder Department under the Military War Bureau is in charge of the Wang Gong Factory, which is responsible for transporting firearms and gunpowder to the Shenji Battalion in Beijing, which is normally closed to the public.

The Outer Mansion is the Ordnance Division, and compared to the Outer Naval Bureau, which is only responsible for the manufacture of cold weapons and imperial equipment in the palace, the Outer Mansion's Ordnance Division is very extensive.

The Ordnance Department is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, and is under the direct leadership of the Ministry of Industry.

The Wuzi warehouse stores items such as bows and arrows, armor, etc., and the Guangji warehouse stores sulfur, saltpeter and other items.

The little official guarding the door was still asleep, and was kicked at the corner of the table by the British public Zhang Hui, and he opened his eyes with an angry face, but he didn't expect to see such a scene.

He crawled and fell down, ignoring the pain coming from his body, just crawling on the ground, trembling and saying, "Small... For the management of the small military battle, see Long live Your Majesty Long live long live..."

"That's how you manage?" Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, Zhang Hui glanced at it, and knew what the master meant, and immediately went up and kicked it a few times.

"You're slacking off, you know!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly, pushed away the management officer, and walked into the arsenal.

What greeted everyone's eyes was a scene of disrepair, with swords, guns, halberds, and various armors piled up into small hills, scattered in a haphazard manner.

A thick layer of dust was spread on the ground, Zhang Hui stepped forward, picked up a pair of cloth armor used by the border army, and was immediately choked by the dust and coughed one after another.

"How long has it been since anyone has been here?"

Yu Qian stepped forward, picked up a standard spear, tried it with his hands, and easily broke the spear, frowning and asking angrily:

"This gun will break as soon as it breaks, can it kill the enemy?"

This was originally the Qingshui Yamen, and the management officer came in at the beginning, in order to not eat the official meal all day long, even if there was an inspection from above, it was all a face-saving project.

I never thought that there would be a day when the emperor would come to inspect in person with his ministers.

The steward was already frightened, his face turned pale, and he said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins! The small, the small is also unintentional......

"Pull it out, cut it." Zhu Di frowned.

When Zhang Hui heard this, he answered, pulled the management officer outside, drew his knife and killed him on the spot, and then clapped his hands and came back, saying:

"Your Majesty, the man is dead."

Zhu Di hummed lightly, walked back and forth in the arsenal, and looked at these

Ordnance, which is regarded as a treasure by officials and soldiers in various places, is piled up here like scrap copper and rotten iron.

At the border passes, there are still many soldiers who cannot get cotton clothes to protect against the cold, and they cannot get the armor to resist the enemy.

"Renovate the entire arsenal, send it to the border if it can be used, and dismantle it if it can't be used, and make it workable."

"Also, who is the palm print eunuch of the War Bureau, take him for me, find out how he came up, and the person who recommended him will be dismissed and investigated!"

Everyone was shocked by this, and hurriedly said, "Your ministers obey the order!"

Walking out of the arsenal, Zhu Di took people to the Ordnance Department under the Ministry of Industry, but surprisingly, it was much better than the Inner Arsenal.

Compared with the lack of attention to the arsenal of the Inner Prefecture, the Wuzi Warehouse and the Guangji Warehouse under the Ordnance Department can be called intact, and all the ordnance and gunpowder supplies can be called brand new, and they are often maintained at a glance.

Walking out of the Ordnance Division, Zhu Di breathed a sigh of relief.

In such an environment, this Jiang Yuan can maintain such a level of censorship, which is really commendable, it seems that this is a virtuous minister.

Virtuous ministers must get the attention they deserve.

So Zhu Di said: "There is a lack of a cabinet minister in the cabinet, and there are endless disputes among the ministries, so I don't think there is any need to discuss it anymore, Jiang Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is good."

Yu Qian also nodded and said, "Since Jiang Yuan took office, the shantytowns in the south of the city, the Wuzi Warehouse and the Guangji Warehouse under the Ordnance Department have all been renovated, and the ministers often walk around the outer city and find that construction is also underway in many places."

"The minister's opinion is the same as that of His Majesty, Jiang Yuan can enter the cabinet."

Zhu Di nodded and said, "In that case, I will send an edict to the cabinet and order Jiang Yuan to be a scholar of the Middle Pole Hall with the Ministry of Industry."

"Your Majesty is a saint!"

Those who came out were all Zhu Di's henchmen, so naturally there would be no objections, and today, Jiang Yuan's entry into the cabinet is also the trend of the times.

Since Jiang Yuan took over the helm of the Ministry of Industry, everyone has seen what he has done, and the Ministry of Industry under his leadership has not only repaired old cities throughout the country, but also made positive contributions in the floods in Henan.

This time, Zhu Di made a surprise inspection, and there was no problem with the Wuzi library and Guangji library under the Ministry of Industry, which were well guarded and properly maintained.

Although many people in Jiang Yuan impeached him for the excessively high repair costs of the Ministry of Works, and even the deficit of the Ministry of Households, Zhu Di felt that it was not a big problem.

Before it was found out, the Ministry of Industry was a yamen who did practical things in Zhu Di's eyes, and it could not let corrupt officials escape punishment, nor could it let those yamen who did practical things cool down.

One yard is one yard, and those who should be raised must be raised, and those who should be punished must be punished heavily.

Today's investigation came to an end, Zhu Di already had a set of rectification measures in his heart, and was about to turn back, but saw Shi Heng blocking the way and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister impeached Fan Guang, the deputy chief soldier of the left, during his time in Henan, relying on the official position of the Zongren Mansion Zuo Zongling, shielding the daughter of a sinner, and conniving at his subordinates to kill and copy indiscriminately!"
