Chapter Eighty-Three: Sharing Your Majesty's Worries
Zhu Youzhen walked faster towards the outside.
It is a big deal for a woman to give birth to a child, and it is even more difficult to go to the royal family.
As early as more than a month ago, several chief imperial doctors of Tai Hospital had been waiting for them. Especially these days, almost every inch is around. What you eat, how much you eat, and what you do every day. You have to report it to him as soon as possible.
The emperor gave birth to a child, or the first child, and it was no longer his own business.
Hanlin Academy wants to break his head for the position of the prince's teacher.
The Zongren Mansion and the Ministry of Rites have to prepare various sacrifices.
The Ministry of Engineering wants to overhaul the East Palace.
Some officials of the Ministry of Officials may be promoted, because they need to form subordinate officials of the East Palace.
In short, it is impossible to link up and down, and if you want to be idle.
It is even more impossible for a father to be idle, from Zhu Youzhen getting the news to Zhou Yufeng successfully giving birth to the prince, seven hours have passed! Zhu Youzhen didn't even bother to eat, and kept guarding outside the hall.
The moment he got the news, Zhu Youzhen felt indescribable and relieved.
didn't care about being happy, and ran to the temple to report to the ancestors.
Then there was the ceremony of receiving the emperor's heir,
The queen gave birth to a prince smoothly.
The eldest son!
Kunimoto!
This means that if nothing else, there will be an heir to the future.
For a while, the wind and clouds were surging in the court.
Zhu Youzhen hugged the newborn little guy, and a certain string in his heart seemed to be plucked by something.
He had children and a complete home here.
On the sixth day of the first month of March, Zhu Youzhen finally came to the arsenal when he was free.
"Old Bi, where's the gun? Get on the range and shoot twice! ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! ”
Bi Maokang and Zhu Youzhen came to the shooting range with muskets.
Reload, reload, aim, shoot.
Bang!
Lead shot out.
Shot straight through the bull's-eye.
This old boy tried to shoot all day long, and his shooting level was really not low.
I can't help but be excited, this thing has cross-era significance.
The Migne rifle reloads quickly, has a long range, and is powerful.
If the whole army can be assembled, it will have an unrivaled advantage in the face of the enemy. In the end, Zhu Youzhen also tried the gun curiously, and it felt very good.
"How many muskets can you make in a day?"
"With the existing craftsmen, we can make more than 200 handfuls a day. The main thing is that the barrel processing process is cumbersome, because it is necessary to drill rifling with a lathe. ”
When Bi Maokang was making rifling guns, Zhu Youzhen found a copy of the "Compilation of Soil Simplified Machine Tool Materials", and after giving it to him, he improved it on the basis of the existing machine tool and built a lathe that could be rifled.
"Let people speed up production."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
If all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were equipped with Migne rifles, I don't know if they could beat Jiannu out of.
Of course, the premise is that the person who uses it must be powerful, otherwise no matter how good the weapon is, it will be useless.
On the eighth day of March, Zhu Youzhen attended the completion ceremony of the cement road. It was also decreed that all the ministers of the DPRK and China should visit together.
As early as a few days ago, this cement road from the capital to the military school was repaired. I am waiting for the ceremony to be held on this auspicious day.
The reason why it is so high-profile is that he wants to publicize the efficacy of cement and make people aware of the powerful benefits behind cement.
Zhu You's inspector drove the carriage directly back and forth between the capital and the military academy, which originally took two hours, but now it has been reduced by half.
Although the original official road was also smooth when it was repaired, there would be all kinds of pits over time, and the carriage would not be able to run fast on it at all. If it's raining, it's even harder. Let Zhu Youzhen say that it is estimated that Cooluzer will have to lie on his stomach.
He also had people hit the road with a sledgehammer, and when everyone saw that only a small piece of the road had fallen after knocking for a long time, they were completely stunned.
Flattening means an increase in speed and a decrease in difficulty.
Robustness means durability and reliability.
Even in rainy and snowy weather, you can travel normally.
For a while, the onlookers each imagined what would happen if there was a cement road from his hometown to the capital.
Zhu Youzhen looked at a group of stunned civil and military officers, and his heart blossomed. Isn't it time for you so-dies to say I'm addicted to tricks, is it?
After going back, Zhu Youjian issued an edict.
Tender!
Cement roads were built in the section from Shanhaiguan to Biguan, and fortresses were built in various fortresses.
Needless to say, the role of the cement road is very useful, whether it is the transfer of troops and support.
The fortress, on the other hand, can turn the city into a hedgehog.
The reason for this decision is that if it were to use the power of the imperial court, it would be difficult to roll out a large-scale infrastructure construction across the board.
The use of bidding can alleviate the financial pressure.
As soon as the edict was written, the well-informed and smelly wealthy businessmen began to run around.
Giving gifts and asking for help, they have used all their strength to move.
They were in a hurry, but Zhu Youzhen was not in a hurry.
Whoever presented the fold, he ignored it. The longer things ferment, the better.
On this day, he was handling government affairs in the Qianqing Palace.
Jia Dingbo asked to see him outside.
After listening to the attendant's speech, Zhu Youzhen frowned.
Jiadingbo is Zhou Kui, and Zhu Youzhen was angry when he thought of the bullshit he did.
Since the crossing, he has never given Zhou Kui a good face, but Zhou Kui has been flying outside all day long under the banner of the national abbot, and he wants to intervene wherever there is money to make. Zhu Youzhen also had people beat him, and he also restrained for a while. This time, Zhou Yufeng gave birth to a prince for the emperor, and Zhou Kui trembled again.
Now come to yourself, what else can you do but build roads?
The weather is clear and the rain has stopped, do you Zhou Kui feel that you can do it again?
"Let him in!" Zhu Youzhen's tone was not good.
"Minister, knock on Your Majesty." As soon as Zhou Kui came in, he knelt on the ground and made a big salute.
Zhu Youzhen looked at him quietly, didn't speak for a long time, and didn't let him get up. Zhou Kui is blind now, anyway, I am also your father-in-law, what does it mean to kneel for so long and not let me get up?
After kneeling for a while, Zhu Youzhen called him up.
"What is the so-called matter of Jiadingbo coming this time?" Zhu Youzhen didn't bother to talk nonsense with this dog.
"Ministers, ministers, have been thinking about it recently, and they want to share their worries for Your Majesty." Zhou Kui didn't expect Zhu Youzhen to be so direct, and his speech was a little stumbling.
"Want to worry about me? How to divide it? ”
"I heard that His Majesty wants to build a cement road at the border pass. Can the minister have full authority to handle this matter? ”
"You? Discretionary control? Zhu Youzhen's eyes widened. Do you still want a fucking face? I thought you wanted a piece of the pie, but I didn't expect you to want to finish it? It's a tonic for Bilian!
Zhu Youzhen smiled.
"Jiadingbo wants to take full authority over this?"
"Yes!"
"You want to reap all the benefits?"
"Your Majesty is wrong to blame the minister, the minister just sees that Your Majesty is working hard all day long, and wants to share your Majesty's worries." When Zhou Kui heard this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and shouted out his grievances.
Zhu Youzhen sneered, summoned Wang Chengen to come closer, and whispered a few words.
After a while, Wang Chengen went out and came back with a few folds.
"On the eighth day of the second month of the Wuchen year, Jiading Bo forcibly entered the Ruyi Restaurant in Beijing.
On the sixth day of the third month of the Wuchen year, he fabricated charges and framed An Hongen, a wealthy businessman in Changping, and swallowed more than 30,000 taels of his family property.
April 16 ......"
Wang Chengen's voice whipped Zhou Kui like a whip, and Zhou Kui trembled like chaff. Kneeling on the ground, sweat dripping down the tip of his nose onto the blanket.
He thought he was doing a secret, but he didn't expect His Majesty to know it!
I wanted to ask for mercy, but I couldn't say a word.
Zhu Youjian leaned forward and asked softly.
"Is Jiadingbo still willing to share my worries?"
