Chapter 298: Preparing to enter Beijing
In terms of agriculture, Jiang Chao also asked Murong Palace to send many people to study in the mountain village. He asked Dong Licai to be the teacher himself.
Jiang Chao also gave Dongli Cai more room to develop.
The entire Ningzhou Mansion will be the stage of Dongli Cai, and the harvest of Ningzhou Mansion will not be a problem even if it is to deal with the famine of the entire Dazhao in the next few years.
In terms of industry, Jiang Chao also started the development of mining in various regions of Ningzhou Province, as well as the textile industry. And winemaking. Even the steam engine began to expand its business.
With the prosperity of development, coupled with a series of publicity by Ye Qingying, not only those businessmen in the entire Dazhao territory flocked to Ningzhou Mansion.
Even those merchants from the Western Regions have come to Ningzhou Mansion to trade, and in addition, even some overseas states have arrived.
Some merchants in Fanbang have taken a fancy to many things, such as steam engines, for example, black powder. And cloth and so on.
In this short period of time, Ningzhou Mansion has become the commercial center of the entire Dazhao. Growing fast! Jiang Chao also got a lot of what he wanted from those Fanbangs.
And Jiang Chao got the most gold and silver. Jiang Chao's wealth accumulation at this time also reached the extreme.
The entire Ningzhou Province has been developed for several months. It's already rich.
At the same time, the first generation of muskets was finally successfully studied, and on the basis of the musket, it was even more powerful. The range is longer. But there are also many disadvantages.
Compared to a full-fledged rifle, it is slightly slower to reload, but much faster than a firecracker.
Although it is not yet a bullet with a brass shell and a warhead, it is just a gunpowder primer with an iron pellet warhead. But in terms of reloading, it is much easier than the fire gun that needs to be filled with primer.
You only need to put the formed primer into the barrel, and then put it in with the projectile, and you only need to fire it.
Although the development of muskets was successful, in terms of mass production, it was not so fast, and it was very good to be able to produce an average of one shot a day.
However, as the technology matures, the speed will be quickly improved.
In terms of smokeless gunpowder, the technology has also made a breakthrough, and it can reach partial mass production. Jiang Chao also made a mold that could be subsized and bulleted.
He made himself two left wheels and some bullets. It's a cartridge bullet. One hundred rounds of ammunition was completed by Jiang Chao in nearly a month.
With the revolver in hand, Jiang Chao was sure enough to kill the opponent even if he ran into a master of the transformation realm.
Recently, because he was too busy, Jiang Chao's kung fu was slack. So far, he has not broken through to the realm of transformation.
However, his force value is also strong enough, and in the entire Da Zhao, I am afraid that there are few people who are his opponents.
When everything is arranged, Su Xiaoxiao is born. Su Xiaoxiao gave birth to a son for Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chao named him Jiang Chen, which means the day of the first rise. A few days later, Dong Liyue also gave birth to a daughter for Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chao named his daughter Jiang Xi, which echoes the name of his son Jiang Chen. The meaning is the same as the day of the first rising.
Jiang Chao hopes that the birth of his children will let the whole of China get rid of the darkness as soon as possible and see the dawn for the first time!
Not long after Su Xiaoxiao gave birth to Jiang Chen, the emperor's edict came again, and at the same time, the emperor showed the world that he attached great importance to Jiang Chao.
Directly named Jiang Chao's son Jiang Chen as Jing Bian Hou, although the title of Jing Bian Hou was originally Jiang Chao's own, but Jiang Chao wanted to succeed An Ning Gong.
Therefore, Jingbian Hou became his son's title.
The emperor is taking advantage of the power of the people of the world to force Jiang Chao to enter Beijing to be knighted. If Jiang Chao can't refuse, he can't resign at this time. It is equivalent to confirming his charge of rebellion.
Moreover, the emperor not only let Jiang Chao enter Beijing to be knighted, but even Jiang Chao's newborn son was not ready to let go, and the holy decree mentioned that Jiang Chao should take his son and wife to Beijing to be knighted.
The emperor actually thought very simply, if Jiang Chao had a queen, even if Jiang Chao died, the army might not disperse. They will even take Jiang Chao's son as the master, and then take the throne in the name of avenging Jiang Chao.
If Jiang Chao and his son can enter Beijing together, they only need to kill Jiang Chao's son. Jiang Chao has no queen, and the army is afraid that it will be dispersed directly.
He thought it was very beautiful, but Jiang Chao resisted again. He entered Beijing by himself, but his son refused directly on the grounds that he was still young and couldn't stand the journey.
There was nothing wrong with his reasoning, even if the emperor was unhappy, but Jiang Chao did not resist again, he was helpless.
Jiang Chao took thirty soldiers to escort him, and a few carts of things went to the capital.
Su Xiaoxiao, Murong Zhiqing, and Song Ningxue were full of worries, everyone knew what the emperor wanted to do. They didn't want Jiang Chao to enter Beijing.
After all, once Jiang Chao enters Beijing, there may only be a dead end, and the emperor will definitely not let him go.
But if Jiang Chao does not enter Beijing, it will have a great impact on his reputation. Jiang Chao didn't care about these influences, but his grandfather waited for Jiang Lin to serve the country and the people all his life, but he was stigmatized as a rebel.
Although this crime was rehabilitated by the emperor, if the emperor made a fuss about it again, this stigma would still be detained. and even deducted justified.
Jiang Chao didn't want his grandfather's reputation to be damaged, although this was only the grandfather of the predecessor, Jiang Chao respected the national hero the most, and the grandfather of the predecessor was worthy of the word national hero.
Therefore, no matter what, Jiang Chao wants to keep his name.
Since the emperor wants to play, then he will play with the emperor, if the emperor really pushes him to be anxious, he doesn't mind being desperate.
Jiang Chao entered Beijing this time, in addition to the thirty guards he brought with him, there were also a rudimentary helicopter he built, and ten hot air balloons.
With these things, it is simply impossible for the emperor to keep him. If the emperor wants to play tricks, then it is no wonder that Jiang Chao is unlucky.
went with him, as well as Song Xiaoya, the little girl had to follow, Song Ningxue was not worried about Jiang Chao, so she simply stuffed Song Xiaoya over.
Speaking of which, Song Xiaoya also accompanied Jiang Chao through several life and death.
Jiang Chao did not refuse, not only that, but she also taught Song Xiaoya to control the direct ascension. If the situation is at that time, he will not have to worry about unmanned helicopters.
The rest were trained by Jiang Chao and could control hot air balloons.
In this way, the group rushed to the capital, Jiang Chao was high-profile and ruthless along the way, and every time he passed through a town or city, he had to let the people know that he was coming.
Even, on the way to Beijing, Jiang Chao gave food and rice all the way. Spending money is like running water.
The people along the way are grateful to Jiang Chao. Jiang Chao asked people to quietly spread some remarks about the backing villages and Ningzhou Mansion to various cities and people.
