At the same time that Cai Jing reported Zhu Ming, countless officials also reported Cai Jing, because the flood area was getting wider and wider, and internal and external officials were accounting for Cai Jing's head.

Liangzhejiang, Huainan, Jiangnan, Jinghu, Guangnan, Fujian Zhulu, in midsummer, all in the flood!

Due to the lack of relief, displaced people fled in all directions.

In the face of the snowflakes flying in the disaster report documents and impeachment recitals, Song Huizong issued two holy decrees one after another:

The first is to ban friends.

Those impeachments of Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Zhu Mian, Tong Guan, and Liang Shicheng must be someone who is forming a party and making trouble. If it weren't for organized and planned behavior, how could there be a massive number of impeachment cases in a short period of time?

Second, the edict ordered all the superintendents in the south to hurry up and urge the displaced people to return to their hometowns.

There are too many displaced people, and it is easy to get into trouble if they are not dispersed. As for how the common people should live after being forcibly dispersed, that was not within the scope of Song Huizong's consideration.

Because, Song Huizong has something more important - the emperor has published a book.

Ju Ming's improved ink and movable type made printing costs even lower. Song Huizong printed 5,000 copies of the "Imperial Commentary on the Tao Te Ching" in one go, and he personally annotated it, and ordered it to be issued to prefectures, counties, Taoism and Taoist temples.

This was just the beginning, and then 3,000 copies of the History of the Tao were printed.

"History of Taoism" is a history book of Ji Zhi Taoism, edited by Cai Jing as the nominal editor-in-chief, and compiled by Lin Lingsu.

Next, it is necessary to compile the "Taoist Code" (a companion chapter of the "Taoist History").

At the same time, in Taixue and Preparatory School, the Doctor of Divinity was officially established. At the suggestion of Lin Lingsu, the level of Taoist officials and Taoist positions was readjusted, and the official position system of Taoist priests was even larger.

……

"Bang!"

In the mountain behind the iron smelting field, Zhu Ming personally fired a shot, and the projectile flew so far that he didn't know where to go.

Tu Shen smiled and picked up the other one, and after reloading the charge, he carefully aimed at the target dozens of meters away.

Well...... It didn't miss the target.

Unlike the Firegun, the Bird Gun has a longer barrel and has an aiming star, which gives it a longer range and higher accuracy.

The name of the bird gun comes from the fact that it can hit flying birds.

Tu Shen said: "I led people to repeatedly measure the amount of medicine, and it is appropriate to use one bullet and two medicines. ”

As the airtightness of the musket increased, and the use of granular gunpowder, the amount of dispensing was also constantly changing.

At the beginning, the weight of gunpowder and projectiles was almost equal. Gradually, it turned into gunpowder two-thirds, one-half, one-third of the projectile.

The optimal amount of dispensing can ensure the power while saving gunpowder and not being easy to explode.

"Sharpen the bamboo tube to take medicine, and the capacity of the bamboo tube is constant." Zhu Ming commanded.

Tu Shen nodded: "This method is good, and the filling of medicine is faster." ”

Solving the problem of fixing the amount of medicine, Tu Shen said: "The craftsman is already skilled, and he can make a bird gun in 28 days." When fixing the pipes, riveting is now used, and if the copper hoop is replaced, the manufacturing time can be shortened. ”

Zhu Ming asked, "What are the advantages and disadvantages of the two?" ”

Tu Shen said: "The copper hoop is inconvenient to disassemble and clean, and it is easy to build; Riveting is cumbersome to build, but easier to disassemble and clean. ”

"Let's use riveting for the time being." Zhu Ming is not in a hurry now, and when it is made on a large scale, the copper hoop will be fixed.

In fact, there is a more convenient method, that is, the Qing Dynasty learned from Turkey and used thin cotton rope to wrap it. When cleaning the barrel, it can be removed by untying the rope, which is more convenient than riveting and copper hoops. But the disadvantages are also obvious, if the barrel is overheated, it may directly break the thin cotton rope during the battle.

Zhu Ming is already very satisfied, his expectation is to build a handful in 40 days, and now he can make a handful in 28 days.

Zhu Ming asked again: "How far can you hit?" ”

Tu Shen said: "We made two kinds of birds, one with a pipe two feet and two inches (67.5 centimeters) long, and the other with a pipe three feet and one inch (95.2 centimeters) long. It's hard to measure how far it can hit, anyway, the longer the barrel, the heavier the projectile, and the more filling, the farther it will hit. The farthest projectile was found eighty zhang (245 meters) away. ”

245 meters is a power range, and the effective range must be more than 100 meters, Qi Jiguang asked the soldiers to release the guns at a distance of 100 meters, and it seems that the range has been carefully measured.

But that's too far, even if the bird's gun shoots accurately, the naked eye can't keep up with the distance.

Aiming from a distance of 100 meters is completely based on feeling.

Zhu Ming turned around again, and then took a boat back to the state city.

This year's summer grain collection period has ended, and the quota has still not been completed, and the performance appraisal will definitely not pass.

The flood season in the Hanshui basin is even later, and the southern roads have been flooded, and large-scale rainfall has not yet begun in Jinzhou.

As a Zhizhou, Zhu Ming was idle.

The yamen are working well and do not need to interfere too much. On the contrary, the mind is more used for lectures, and every holiday, a large number of officials, scholars, and even ordinary people come to listen to the lectures.

"University" is occasionally taught, and more often is to explain "Tao and Strategy".

When he came back from the iron smelting field today, as soon as he stepped into the gate of the state government, Zhu Ming felt that the atmosphere was not right.

"Taishou," Guo Wenzhong and Wang Jia guarded the lobby and whispered, "There is an official document delivered by the imperial court. ”

Zhu Ming walked into the Huangtang quickly, and many officials such as Huang Qi, Wu Mao, Qian Chen, Zhang Bo, Li Bao, and Fan Zhun had already gathered there.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Ming said with a smile.

Wu Mao brought up a holy decree, and it was still an edict-level holy decree.

Zhu Ming took it and saw that the content was nothing more than a ban on books and learning, which was within his expectations, and it was the worst situation.

Then I looked at the official document again, and the Jilu official was lowered to the sixth rank, and if he was demoted again, he would not be a Beijing official.

"Lizhou Hanyuan Zhi County?" Zhu Ming was a little surprised by his new dispatch, and he thought that the emperor was going to let him collect the liquor tax.

Qian Chen sighed: "Alas, Taishou shouldn't be lecturing." ”

"Why can't you talk about it?" Zhang Bo was extremely angry, "The theory of the Three Outlines and Eight Eyes is inherited from the knowledge of the sages, this can't be said, what else can I talk about in the future?" ”

Zhu Ming comforted: "I have been in Jinzhou for a year and a half, even if I haven't encountered this kind of thing, I will leave for half a year or a year for the longest." Don't think about it, gentlemen. ”

The term of office of the governor of the Song Dynasty was not fixed, and there were several situations such as one year, two years, three years, and six years.

The one-year and two-year tenure of Zhizhou is basically gold-plated mixed with qualifications.

If it is in the border area, it will even let the military general be the governor, and there are those who have not moved for more than ten years.

Zhu Ming belongs to the Zhizhou who came down to gild, and in another half a year, as long as the emperor does not forget him, he will definitely be transferred out of Jinzhou. To do this kind of thing now, it is nothing more than to leave half a year early.

The ironworks will continue to be opened, which is his private property.

"Zhu Taishou!"

Knowing that Zhu Ming had returned to the state office, Li Daochong rushed to hear the news and gloated: "I heard that Taishou is about to leave office, and I am here to see him off in advance." ”

Zhu Mingyun said lightly: "I don't know if Li Daju has been promoted?" ”

Li Daochong said with a smile: "I was lucky, I had to be recommended by the nobles of the DPRK and China, and I was transferred to Hangzhou to be a general judge, and the Jilu official was also promoted to a higher rank." ”

Hangzhou?

Zhu Ming's expression was a little weird, and he arched his hand and said: "Hangzhou is prosperous, rich in the world, congratulations to Li Daju!" ”

"Mutual friends, I also congratulate Zhu Taishou," Li Daochong smiled, "Lizhou is a border land, and today's Holy Son of Heaven is heavy on martial arts, maybe Zhu Taishou can expand the land and seal the marquis." ”

Zhu Ming said: "I borrow your auspicious words. ”

Li Daochong came to see the excitement, and he really wanted to see Zhu Ming's depressed and painful expression. But Zhu Ming could still laugh, and he seemed to be completely unaffected.

After deliberately sneering a few more words, it still couldn't provoke Zhu Ming's gaffe, Li Daochong quickly felt bored and turned around and strode away.

"What a villain!" Huang Qi scolded.

Zhu Ming said with a smile: "It's just right that he transferred away, so that after I leave, this guy will anger you." ”

The officials of Jinzhou really thought so, it didn't matter if Zhu Ming left or not, they were afraid that Li Daochong would leave them to wear small shoes.

As long as Li Dao rushes away, no matter who will be the first or second in command, the officials of Jinzhou will have enough time to consolidate the power of various departments. No matter who the new Zhizhou and the general judge are, they will cooperate if they don't mess around, and if they dare to interfere indiscriminately, they will cooperate with them.

Especially the Xu officials, after Zhu Ming's reshuffle, they have taken control of Jinzhou City.

Not long after, Zhang Gen also came.

The officials dispersed, and Zhu Ming spoke to Zhang Gen alone.

"Hanyuan Zhixian is not easy to do." Zhang Gen said when he met.

Zhu Ming asked, "What is the situation with Hanyuan?" I don't know for a moment. ”

Zhang Gen explained: "There is only one county and only one city in Lizhou, which is the county seat of Hanyuan. The Han people live around the county seat, and the outside is Shuyi, and then the outside is Shengyi. The population of Shengyi is more than ten times that of the Han people. Taizu held a jade axe to demarcate the border, and no soldiers were used south of the Dadu River. ”

"The jade axe demarcates the border, and never uses soldiers, is this true?" Zhu Ming didn't believe it.

Zhang Gen said: "Maybe it's true, at least that's what the courtiers say. ”

Zhu Ming asked again: "Who is the governor of Lizhou?" ”

Zhang Gen shook his head: "I don't know." ”

At this time, the governor of Lizhou was Yuwen Chang from the Yuwen family in Chengdu.

The hometown of this goods is in Chengdu, and Lizhou belongs to Chengdu Fu Road, so it stands to reason that he should avoid being an official. It can only be explained that the appointment of governors in the border areas is not particular.

Zhang Gen said: "The big water in Jiangxi, the little girl's makeup, I'm afraid it will not be delivered until after the flood." ”

Zhu Ming said with a smile: "The eldest husband marries a wife, why do you care about makeup? ”

Zhang Gen proposed: "Then go to work after getting married?" ”

"As Tarzan says!" Zhu Ming arched his hand and said.

Li Daochong was really in a hurry to go to Hangzhou, so he took his goods and his relatives and set off by boat the next day. When we arrived in Gangneung, the flood water had receded, and we happily went down the Yangtze River.

There is heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below, and the prosperous and rich Hangzhou is waiting for him.

Moreover, he is still in charge of finance, and all kinds of taxes in Hangzhou must pass through his hands.

What Zhu Ming, what Jinzhou, Li Daochong has long forgotten it. He would rather be sentenced in Hangzhou for ten years than transferred to another place to be a governor.

There is a lacquer plantation owner named Fang La in Qingxi County, who also suffered floods this year.

The flood receded slightly, and the one who collected the flowers and stones came to the door. Not only was the lacquer included in the Huashi Gang, but he also had to hand over a batch of wood, and the government promised to give money, but the stinky money was only enough for the labor cost of cutting wood and lacquer.

Manichaeism was popular in Muzhou, and Fang La went to the state city to learn the teachings, and after returning to his hometown, he opened an altar to preach the Dharma.

From the current point of view, it is more like a mutual aid organization, and the believers are about brothers, and they usually help each other to keep warm.

The cohesion is very strong, and the people enthusiastically join the church.

(Today's son's birthday, I'm playing with him during the day, and I originally wrote a single chapter to explain the situation, but I sent it to the first free chapter, and it seems that no readers have seen it...... ）
