Two small houses with a small courtyard, this residential area on the outskirts of Beijing is the same regulation, and the people who live there are craftsmen from the Weapons and Powder Bureau.

The biggest change for craftsmen is that there is no shift system of unpaid labor.

Working in the Weapons and Powder Bureau, as long as you are serious, do not slack off, and make things that meet the standards, you can get a salary that is enough to support your family.

Zhou Laosi and most of the craftsmen like this method, which is much more worry-free than in the past, after serving their shifts and then making their own products to sell to make a living.

Moreover, without the constraints of the craftsman's registration, the imperial court had included them in the city register, allowing them and their descendants to participate in the imperial examinations.

Craftsmen of Zhou Laosi's age would not think about studying for the imperial examination, but their children and grandchildren have this right. Who doesn't want future generations to have a future, and the champion will glorify his ancestors.

Therefore, Zhou Laosi has a very comfortable life during this time. Especially watching my daughter-in-law's belly bulge day by day, there are more and a lot of fantasies.

If it is a piece of material for reading, it will be provided; If you don't succeed, you can learn this ancestral craft and start a family.

Zhou Laosi walked out of the residential area and came to the main road leading to the city gate.

When he saw a few scholars walking on the road in a very chic manner, he was ruthless in his heart again.

If you give birth to a male baby, if you don't study well, you will be beaten hard, and the old Zhou family can't produce an official master? Even if it's a showman, it's the ancestral tomb that smokes!

Someone greeted each other, who was also a craftsman, and walked together, chatting as they walked, talking about the shortcomings of their parents, and talking about the imagination of this prisoner.

The noon gate prisoner offering is a solemn national gift. During the Wanli period, the Japanese prisoners in the war of "resisting Japanese aggression and aiding Korea" were used to hold a grand prisoner gift in front of the noon gate.

The emperor personally visited the city tower of the noon gate, held a grand ceremony, and accepted the prisoners. That is, the so-called "the country has a conquest, the triumphant sacrifice of prisoners, and the emperor's imperial noon gate is offered as a prisoner gift." ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the emperor personally participated in the sacrifice of prisoners at the Imperial Noon Gate, which was recorded in the history books four times, all in the Wanli period. In particular, the war to resist Japanese aggression and aid Korea was the largest.

On April 24, the 27th year of Wanli, the Wanli Emperor held a ceremony to present prisoners in the Imperial Wumen Tower.

After finishing the work of the Criminal Department, he finally said: "Go to the city to carry out the execution, please order." The emperor himself said: "Take it!" ”

After the emperor finished speaking, the two ministers on the emperor's left and right shouted: "Take it!" Then the four people on the left and right shouted: "Take it!" ”

In this way, one became two, two increased by four, four changed into eight, eight increased into sixteen, and finally the three hundred and sixty people including the Han general shouted in unison: "Take it!" "The sound was as loud as thunder.

"Take it!" A loud shout startled Zhou Laosi and the others.

A few people appeared in front of them, and they also walked together, and after shouting some strange Beijing official dialects, they turned into dialect jokes again.

"It's those Southern Barbarians." One craftsman pouted in disdain, "It's full of birds, and I still want to get a bounty, and I don't pee and take pictures." ”

"That's it, run to our north to show off, and look down on us?"

Zhou Laosi nodded yes, and he didn't have a good impression of these southern Fujian craftsmen recruited by the Weapons and Gunpowder Bureau from outside, but he was greedy for the bounty, and secretly pondered the experiment to see if the ancestral secret skills were successful.

Regional discrimination is normal all the time, and it will be the same in future generations.

Zhou Laosi and the others passed through the crowded city gate and found that the city was already crowded, and there was almost no open space next to the street.

The teahouses and restaurants along the street are almost full, and you can see a lot of people looking through the windows. Moreover, some people began to climb the walls of the courtyards of houses facing the street.

finally found a place to stand, Zhou Laosi and others stretched their necks, waiting to watch the excitement.

And in the palace, the young emperor who was still very enthusiastic when he got up in the morning, and practiced "take it" to a correct tone. At this time, he took the information from Dongchang, and his brows furrowed into a pimple.

Smelling the fragrance teaching, when this familiar and unfamiliar word appeared, Zhu Youxiao found some clues from the dusty memory.

There's such a thing, it seems to be special this year!

Zhu Youxiao didn't remember which bastard rebelled, but remembered that the teacher Yuan Keli had beaten Wenxiang in history, so it should be in Shandong.

As soon as the court was almost rectified, and as soon as the various arrangements were arranged, they came to add to the chaos. was troubled by this incident, and I didn't have the heart to offer a prisoner gift at noon.

Zhu Youxiao hurriedly announced that Teacher Sun of the Military Department had entered the palace, and at the same time summoned Jinyiwei and Dongchang into the palace to receive orders, and at the same time he picked up a pen in his hand and quickly wrote a letter to Teacher Yuan.

The tripartite arrangement of the post-blockade cannot be delayed, the sooner the better. The turmoil caused by this incense smelling sect is as small as possible.

As for the information handed in by Dongchang, it is not very serious. It's just that Zhu Youxiao has an explanation, and the local people's conditions, weather, harvest, prices, etc., can be reported in every detail.

If you want to pay enough attention and take immediate measures, you can't show this information to Mr. Sun. Zhu Youxiao felt that it didn't matter if it was exaggerated, or even made up a lie.

Anyway, he did this once, and under the pretense of Jinyi Guard's detection, Sun Degong was designated as a rebel, so that Xiong Tingbi could be on guard and successfully seize power.

Wang Tiqian saw that the emperor suddenly summoned in a hurry, how dare he slack off, and immediately sent an internal official to call someone.

"Meow!" Xiaobai suddenly jumped on the table, raised his face and shouted at Zhu Youxiao, who was pacing back and forth.

"White lady, come here." Zhang Yuer saw that the emperor was busy with work, her brows were furrowed, for fear of disturbing her, so she hurriedly stepped forward to take the cat away.

Xiaobai raised a small paw and beckoned Zhu Youxiao up and down, like a beckoning cat.

Zhu Youxiao blinked, thoughtful, stretched out his hand to stop Zhang Yu'er, approached the table, and stared at Xiaobai carefully.

As soon as the white lady's little claws moved, she opened a book, stretched out her head to look at it, swept it to the ground with one paw, and opened another book.

This girl's temper is not very good, Zhu Youxiao tilted his head and squinted, but wanted to see what this cat was doing.

Bang, it was another book to sweep off the table, and Zhang Yuer hurriedly picked it up.

"Meow, meow!" Xiaobai let out a cheerful cry, raised his big head as if he was doing a good job, and his little claws connected the dots on the music.

Zhu Youxiao took a closer look, and the little claws of the white lady pointed at the word "Hong".

Xiaobai clicked twice more emphatically, and the little claw changed its position and clicked on the word "Confucian" again.

Hongru? Hongru?!

A bright light flashed in Zhu Youxiao's mind, and when he remembered it, he remembered that the rebellious bastard was called "Xu Hongru".

"Don't make trouble." Zhang Yu'er picked up two notebooks, got up and said, "Beware of the emperor being angry......

Hahahaha, the emperor who might be angry suddenly burst into a burst of laughter, which made Zhang Yuer stunned.
