Chapter 232: Inventor, Strange Invention Speed!

How to explain to Zhu Youzhen?

Hearing He Wuyu's words, Wen Tiren glanced at him lightly, and asked so well, he also wanted to know how to explain to Zhu Youzhen.

Other things can still be fooled, although Zhu Youzhen is hardworking, his brain is not very good, pick up more good things, report good news and not bad news, Zhu Youzhen will believe it.

But now that the ancestral grave of the old Zhu family has been dug up, how can he fool him, is it difficult for him to tell Zhu Youzhen that it is a good thing that the ancestral grave has been dug up?

It is estimated that as soon as he said it, Zhu Youzhen would dig up his family's ancestral grave and tell him that good things had to be shared with him, the head of the cabinet!

Thinking of this, Wen Tiren couldn't help but scold angrily: "Zhang Weishi, this waste!"

Zhang Weishi took over Chen Qiyu's position and became the official of the new governor of the five provinces, responsible for encircling and suppressing Gao Yingxiang and their rebels.

"Brother Wen, now is not the time to be angry, the most important thing now is to come up with a charter so that you can give Your Majesty an explanation."

At this time, Wu Zongda on the side spoke.

"What do you think Brother Wu should have in place?"

Hearing this, Wen Tiren frowned and said, this matter is not so easy to fool the past, Zhu Youzhen's brain is not very good, but Zhu Youzhen is not really stupid, he really treats Zhu Youzhen as a fool, and his life will be cold sooner or later.

"Let not one of those who fail in their duties be spared!"

Wu Zongda's voice was cold, although he knew that his words would make thirty or forty people's heads move, but the most important thing now is to calm Zhu Youzhen's anger.

"Not enough."

Wen Tiren shook his head slightly, "Just one Zhang Weishi is not enough to calm His Majesty's anger."

Hearing Wen Tiren's words, Wu Zongda's hearts sank, and what they were most worried about was that Zhu Youzhen was too angry and swept too many people.

"Who does Brother Wen think should be added?"

After a moment of silence, He Wuyu asked.

"Wang Yi, Governor of Fengyang, Yang Yipeng, Governor of Caoyun."

Wen Tiren said lightly.

"Brother Wen, isn't this appropriate?"

As soon as Wen Tiren's words fell, He Wuyu directly retorted: "Governor Fengyang is indeed guilty, but Brother Yang is not very stationed in Zhongdu, how can he be blamed for this?"

"Yang Yipeng is in charge of Caoyun, with more than 100,000 Cao soldiers along the river, and Zhongdu was attacked, he should have rescued in advance, and now Yang Yipeng's rescue is not effective, so he should be responsible."

Wen Tiren said calmly, although he said it was a bit far-fetched, but this is also the best way now, after all, if you want to calm Zhu Youzhen's anger, you must need a few people of sufficient weight, if you don't find Yang Yipeng, it will be a few of them.

"A few elders, Your Majesty is invited."

At this time, Wang Chengen's voice came from the door, and when he heard Wang Chengen's voice, Wen Tiren and several people hurriedly surrounded him.

"Princess, what is the mood of this majesty?"

He Wuyu asked first.

"Elder He Ge, Your Majesty's emotions ...... Alas..."

Wang Chengen opened his mouth, but finally turned into a sigh.

And Wen Tiren's hearts also fell to the bottom with Wang Chengen's sigh, and even Wang Chengen, the person closest to Zhu Youzhen, looked like this, which showed that things were really difficult to control.

But thinking about it, Wen Tiren and the others did not stay, and followed Wang Chengen to the Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty."

Looking at Zhu Youzhen, who was pale, several people hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Everyone, love to be even."

Zhu Youzhen's voice was weak, and his face was indifferent and ruthless.

Seeing this scene, Wen Tiren and the others couldn't help but tremble, they would rather Zhu Youzhen be angry than see such a Zhu Youzhen, anger means that they can still persuade one or two, but in the face of such Zhu Youzhen, no one dares to speak, because if they are not careful, they will let themselves go to the funeral together.

"Wang Guozhen, the governor of the three sides, Zhang Weishi, the governor of the five provinces, Wang Yi, the governor of Fengyang, and Yang Yipeng, the governor of Caoyun, all sent people to arrest them, beheaded and abandoned the city, and the rest of those who failed in their duties were all put in prison."

At this time, Zhu Youzhen's cold voice sounded again.

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Wen Tiren's faces couldn't help but change suddenly, they thought that Zhu Youzhen would discuss with them, but they didn't expect Zhu Youzhen to make the decision himself, and he didn't even mean to ask them.

Wen Tiren opened his mouth, wanting to persuade Zhu Youzhen, but after seeing Zhu Youzhen's indifferent eyes, he still chose to keep silent, the current Zhu Youzhen obviously only wants to kill people, if he angers Zhu Youzhen, he may have to go to the vegetable market with Zhang Weishi and them.

"Obey!"

After thinking about it for a while, Wen Tiren still chose to give in, now it is someone else who is dying, and it would be too cost-effective to put himself in.

After a pause, Zhu Youzhen asked again, "Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think of those who dig up the Fengyang Emperor's Mausoleum?"

What should I do?

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Wen Tiren and the others frowned slightly, how else can this be handled, appoint a new trilateral governor and a governor of the five provinces, and then continue to encircle and suppress, but now that Zhu Youzhen has specifically mentioned this matter, it is obvious that he does not just want to appoint a new trilateral governor and the governor of the five provinces.

"I wonder what His Majesty wants to do with those rebels?"

After thinking about it for a while, Wen Tiren chose to throw the question back to Zhu Youzhen, and now Zhu Youzhen is still angry, if he makes a mistake in touching the holy will, it will be embarrassing.

Zhu Youzhen said calmly: "I am going to recruit another 50,000 recruits to kill this group of rebels."

"Your Majesty, now that the treasury has dried up, it is difficult to draw money to recruit new soldiers."

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Wen Tiren sighed, now there is a drought everywhere, and there is not much tax collected at all, plus the wars everywhere, the Great Qi in Shandong, the Jurchens on the grassland, and the rebels like Gao Yingxiang, the current imperial court can no longer take out the silver.

"Then additional taxes will be levied in Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Huguang."

Zhu Youzhen's expression was calm, he had already thought about this problem, and seeing that Zhu Youzhen had already thought about it, Wen Tiren and the others did not object again.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Youzhen spoke, "How is the battle situation on the Shandong side?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the puppet Qi rebels are stuck in Dezhou City, and Hong Chengchou and Chen Qiyu are still blocked in Dezhou City."

Wen Tiren replied.

"Before, Hong Chengchou played, and the household department was greedy for ink casting cannon materials, which made the Hongyi cannon unusable, how did the criminal department investigate?"

Hearing this, Zhu Youzhen frowned and said, in order to deal with the city occupied by the pseudo-Qi, he deliberately ordered to cast more than 100 Hongyi cannons, but within a few days, Hong Chengchou played, and the cast Hongyi cannons were greedy for ink, resulting in uselessness.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's been ascertained."

Wen Tiren replied, "It is Jiang Ou in the household department who is greedy for the ink casting cannon material, and Jiang Ou has now been sent to the prison of the criminal department."

"Hmm."

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said, "Let someone send Jiang Ou's greedy materials to Hong Chengchou to recast the Hongyi cannon."

"Obey!"

Wen Tiren replied.

………

The capital city of Jinan.

Zichen Palace.

"A new method of ironmaking has been developed?"

Looking at Hou Sui below, Su Hao's eyes were full of incredulity, the task he gave Hou Sui was not simple, the new iron-making method needed ordinary people to do it, instead of relying on the Mojia technique, after all, relying on the Mojia technique could not be popularized at all, and it was impossible to smelt steel in large quantities.

"The minister will never dare to deceive Your Majesty."

Hearing Su Hao's questioning, Hou Sui hurriedly replied.

"Take me to see it."

Su Hao said lightly, he still couldn't believe that Hou Sui had researched a new iron-making method in less than two months.

"Obey!

Hou Sui bowed and answered.

Soon, under the escort of the pro-army, Su Hao came to the scientific research institute not far from the palace.

"Your Majesty, this is the new method that the minister has researched."

Hou Sui came to a huge furnace with a height of nearly three zhang and said: "The temperature of this furnace is extremely high, which can refine iron ore into molten iron, which will settle at the bottom, and only after the furnace fire has cooled, the iron can be removed from the bottom."

Iron-making by the earth method!

Looking at the large furnace that looked like a pagoda, Su Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, this big furnace was almost exactly the same as the earth-based iron-smelting furnace he saw in textbooks when he was a child.

After pondering for a long time, Su Hao asked, "Hou Aiqing, did you come up with this big furnace?"

Hou Sui hurriedly replied, "Back to Your Majesty, it was the minister who came up with it."

"In that case, I will no longer hold you accountable for disobedience."

Hearing this, Su Hao waved his hand, and then led people out of the scientific research institute.

After returning to Zichen Palace, Su Hao summoned Liao Qing as soon as possible.

"I asked you to stare at Hou Sui a little more, but what's wrong?"

Su Hao's expression was solemn, to be honest, the iron-making blast furnace that Hou Sui had researched couldn't help but remind him of the previous premonition again.

"Your Majesty, the minister asked Hou Sui to be strictly monitored before, and for more than a month, Hou Sui has not been in contact with anyone except for the children of the Mo family in the scientific research institute."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Liao Qing replied.

Didn't you?

Hearing this, Su Hao suddenly fell into deep thought, maybe he was really too suspicious.

After thinking about it for a while, Su Hao came back to his senses and said again, "Let people continue to stare at Hou Sui, if there is anything abnormal, report it immediately."

Liao Qing replied, "The minister obeys the order."

………

Time flies, spring goes to autumn.

Outside the city of Jinan, countless people around the two long iron bars to see the lively, iron is a precious thing, usually the big guy is a few pieces of farm tools are seen and baby-like, when to see someone actually ruined to this extent, the iron is cast into a big iron bar, spread on the ground.

"I heard that these two big iron strips were placed here by the son of Hou Shangshu, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and they seem to be called railroad tracks or something."

At this time, a well-informed student of Zhuzi Baijia spoke.

Mohist's?

Hearing the student's words, a middle-aged man in a Taoist robe standing beside him narrowed his eyes slightly, in the past, the Confucian family was dominant, and any Taoist who participated in the government would be crowned with the name of the demon Tao.

Now in the court, although the law, Taoism, and Mo are three-legged, but the Legalists have long had their own positioning, that is, to study the law, and now most of the officials in the Criminal Department are the children of the Legalists, and the Mo family also has its own positioning, that is, the Mojia organs, and most of the children of the Mo family will enter the Ministry of Industry.

Only the children of their Taoism have no fixed place, constantly wandering between the various departments, almost a hammer in the east, a mallet in the west, and have no foundation of their own at all, now it seems that their Taoists should also look for their own fixed territory, otherwise after a long time, their Taoists are by no means the opponents of Legalism and Moism.

At this time, dozens of people in the distance pushed a strange-shaped carriage towards this side, there was a long chimney at the front of the carriage, and there were more than 20 smaller wooden carriages behind the carriage.

At this time, with the efforts of dozens of people, the carriage and many wooden carriages were moved to the rails.

On the city tower in the distance, Su Hao looked at this scene, and only felt that it was extremely weird, it had only been a few months, and even the train had come out, which was not weird, he could swallow these railroad tracks alive.

At this time, Hou Sui walked into the carriage, lit the fire, and began to throw coal into the burning furnace, and after a while, smoke began to billowing from the chimney.

After a while, under the impetus of steam, the carriage slowly advanced, and at the same time drove the twenty or so small carriages behind

Mohist tricks?

Looking at the carriage that was slowly advancing, the middle-aged man in the robe frowned, but he did not find the fluctuation of mana from Hou Xun's body, if it was the Mo family's technique, it would be too simple, you must know that the Mo family's technique has always been known for its finesse, and this carriage is too simple.

And he couldn't figure it out, why did Hou Sui make this with such fanfare, you must know that whether it is a wooden kite that can soar in the sky, or a real trap beast, it is far better than this broken car.

On the city tower, looking at the train moving steadily, Su Hao's eyes flashed with a different color, now he has a great deal of certainty, what is pushing him behind Hou Sui's back should be the legendary Heavenly Dao, after all, Liao Qing has personally gone out to stare at Hou Sui.

In the past few months, Hou Sui has basically been immersed in the scientific research institute, and he rarely even goes home, let alone meets outsiders, and except for a traverser like him, who has the ability to let Hou Sui invent so many things.

However, he didn't understand why Heavenly Dao wanted to promote the development of science and technology, and this degree was no longer as simple as pushing, it was more like turning this world of Liaozhai into a world of science and technology.

The railroad tracks laid outside the city were a big oval, and just when Su Hao was thinking nonsense, Hou Xun's train had already come to an end, and soon, the train began to turn.

"Liao Qing, go and call Hou Sui up."

Looking at Hou Sui who was circling on the railroad tracks, Su Hao's eyes narrowed slightly.

"I'll go."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Liao Qing, who was standing on the side, bowed down and answered, and then jumped down from the city wall and walked towards Hou Sui.

After a while, the train slowly stopped, and Hou Sui, led by Liao Qing, came to the city tower.
