Chapter Twenty-Nine: Which One Is Beautiful?

"Li Qing, the ills of Jingying are not formed in a short period of time. If we want to carry out reform in a big way, it will inevitably touch the interests of some people, and then the secretary will face many resistances. There will definitely be no less slander and slander from the court to the court. Can you be confident? ”

"The ministers should do their best, and they will not hesitate to break their bones." Li Banghua said solemnly and solemnly.

Zhu Youzhen encouraged again, in a word.

You just let it go, and I'll take care of it for you! But the effect must be seen.

For Li Banghua, His Majesty has entrusted such a heavy responsibility to himself, which is a trust in himself. He also heard a little about the corruption in Jingying.

But I only found out when I actually went to patrol.

He was wrong.

It's even more exaggerated than I've heard!

No! It's even more exaggerated than you think!

He almost didn't pee when he went to inspect it. It's miserable! Of the more than 100,000 troops, there are actually 17,000 left.

Ask where the others have gone.

There were those who occupied the service, and the good soldiers were not trained, and were sent by the generals to help them work, and the number was as high as more than 10,000.

There are more than a thousand hypocrisy, that is, empty wages.

More than half of them came in through bribes. Not to mention the war, it is difficult to move bricks.

That's it, the remaining 10,000 or so can't even walk in the queue, and they are in a big mess.

The sound of guns in the firearms battalion came and went, and sporadic firecrackers were yes, as for the quasi-head, don't mention it again.

The equipment was sold by the soldiers, and the military budget was also lost.

The most exaggerated thing is that the reserve silver of the Rong government has been stolen.

Shocked, Li Banghua was extremely angry, and immediately reported the situation to Zhu Youzhen, and attached a rectification method:

"One to supplement the army, one to refine the drawing, one to clear the occupation, one to pass the horse, one to the provincial horse army, one to practice the artifact, one to practice the flying stone."

And Zhu Youzhen's reply is very simple:

Whole! Die to death!

So Li Banghua's rectification began.

On the one hand, he checked the number of soldiers, and none of them should be missing. He also personally inspected the physical fitness and training of the soldiers, and some of the old, weak, sick and disabled who came in through the back door all got out. It's not easy for anyone to say hello and intercede.

On the other hand, it is forbidden for all soldiers to participate in any form of engineering construction, whether you are the toilet of the Hou Ye's house or the fish pond of the Guogong's house, it is impossible to call the soldiers to work! I can't borrow the war horse anymore, and I want to get back the pasture that I rented out.

Now it's good, all those who should be offended are offended, and those who shouldn't be offended are also offended.

But a clear-eyed person can see that there is His Majesty's support behind him, who dares to touch his moldy head at this time! Didn't you see that Li Banghua's grandson was followed by a team of soldiers from the Yongwei Battalion all day long, at this time to attract hatred, and it was in vain to die.

Zhu Youzhen, who has been paying attention to Li Banghua's rectification of the Beijing camp, is very disappointed, why don't you jump? Resist! Isn't it arrogant? Isn't it a bulge? Aren't they princes who rest with the kingdom? If I don't jump out, how can I kill two to be typical?

Seeing that these people were more honest than the other, Zhu Youzhen no longer paid attention to this matter.

There are still two days to go, and the weather is getting hotter.

Zhu Youjian came to Kunning Palace after completing the review, still holding two Menglong ice cream in his hands.

waved his hand to the palace maid who was about to pass the word and quietly walked in.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard the voice of Queen Zhou Yufeng from inside.

"Xiaohua, is this black one good-looking or the flesh-colored one just now?"

"Mother, I think the black one looks better."

"Well, I think so. The flesh-colored ones are the same as if they weren't worn, and the black ones look dignified. However, this global premium product is too expensive, and I heard the British duchess say that this pair of stockings costs ninety-nine taels of silver. It's really expensive. ”

"Niangniang, you are the queen, and you still think it is expensive."

"You, the queen can't buy whatever she wants. Besides, now that there are slaves outside and homeless people inside, long live worrying about money all day long, I can still save a little bit. ”

Zhu Youjian stood by the door and listened to the chatter between the two, and couldn't help but be a little moved.

Cough~

With a light cough, he walked in. Just one glance and froze.

Zhou Yufeng was wearing an embroidered horse-faced pleated skirt that was obviously much shorter, leaking out of her calves wrapped in black silk. I was standing in front of the mirror and looking left and right in the mirror.

This? Not to mention, it's awesome!

Zhou Yufeng saw Zhu Youzhen walk in, and hurriedly bowed.

Zhu Youzhen handed the ice cream in his hand to Zhou Yufeng and Li Xiaohua.

"Taste it."

Zhou Yufeng and the others were already immune to Zhu Youzhen's frequent use of some strange things.

Shane then took the ice cream.

Zhou Yufeng took this cold thing, but he didn't know where to start, and in the end, Zhu Youzhen helped.

took a bite gently, Zhou Yufeng's face was full of satisfied sweetness, and Li Xiaohua was even more unbearable, if it weren't for him, he would have jumped up here.

Zhu Youzhen shook his head with a smile, sixteen or seventeen years old is still a little girl in the next generation.

"When I came in just now, I heard Zitong say that the Duchess of England has been here?"

"Yes, long live. The British duchess came to accompany the concubine and talked for a while, and gave me two stockings and this horse-faced skirt, saying that it has been popular to wear them outside the palace recently. These stockings seem to be similar to the ones given to the concubine a year ago, but they are thinner and more suitable for summer.

Isn't it about the same? A brand of stuff.

But all the things from the world have come to the palace?

"If Zitong likes it, I'll order someone to buy more and send it back."

"The concubine thanked her first, but the concubine knew that it was not easy to weave, not to mention that the price was so expensive that it could not be worth it."

Zhu Youzhen nodded and did not speak again.

I didn't tell Zhou Yufeng about Global Premium before, so I can't say it now.

I can't say that the queen wears it boldly, this thing is not valuable, and the store is opened.

It's nice to be able to feast your eyes once in a while.

However, Empress Zhou's words caught his attention.

The textile technology of the Ming Dynasty was based on the extensive development of cotton weaving technology by Huang Daopo to have a rapid improvement, although the production spread throughout the country, but the most famous is still the Jiangnan area, especially the output of Jiangsu Province is large, only beautiful, is the center of the cotton weaving technology in the country.

Therefore, the merchants in this area are extremely rich.

Raw silk, silk fabrics, cotton cloth, porcelain and other high-quality and low-cost Chinese goods have flowed into foreign countries.

Smuggle!

This kind of behavior is bad.

As a poor emperor, how can you let these local tyrants who earn a lot of money and have nowhere to spend it?

The next day

He summoned President Song of the Ming Royal Academy of Sciences.

"Dean Song, come and see this!"

When His Majesty summoned him, Song Yingxing was studying high school physics. Since the establishment of the Academy of Sciences, he has not done a decent study.

devoted himself to the books that Zhu Youzhen kept sending.

Whenever he felt that his level had reached a certain height, Zhu Youzhen would send another copy.

At first it was mathematics, then it was chemistry, then biology, then physics.

Fortunately, he has a high level of understanding, and he is dedicated, like a sponge, desperately absorbing this knowledge that he has never had. Then he combined theoretical knowledge with practice in life, so that his gains in the past month or so far exceeded what he had learned in the first half of his life, and he became a science bully (junior high school).

And all thanks to His Majesty the Great Emperor.

Today, His Majesty the Great Emperor has summoned himself again.

He entered the palace with excitement, and he wanted to confide in His Majesty about his ambitions. He wanted to tell His Majesty that he wanted the people to have food, clothing, and a house to live in!

But he saw something.
