Zhu Qiyu gathered a group of cronies to preside over the military and government in Shandong, and began to carefully build his own basic plate.

After discussing the strategy of attacking Japan, Yue Zheng and others began to talk about Shandong's internal affairs again.

Cui Gong, the right-hand political envoy who has been an official in Shandong for many years, is worried: "Last year, there was too much rain in Shandong, floods everywhere, and the harvest was extremely poor, and hundreds of people struggled to survive.

There will be a lot of rain this year, and if there is another flood, the people will not be able to live anymore.

We can't just fight wars, we also have to think more about the livelihood of the people.

If the battle is won, and all our people starve to death, it will be a joke. ”

Yue Zheng nodded: "Shandong is really not easy to govern, so let's divide the labor, some people focus on internal affairs, and some people focus on attacking Japan."

Let's choose for ourselves. ”

Cui Gong was the first to stand in line: "Then I'll be in charge of internal affairs." ”

Chen Jian, the envoy of Shandong, also echoed: "I am also in charge of internal affairs." ”

When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised, Chen Jian was a soldier in the army, and everyone tacitly agreed that he was sent by the emperor to accumulate military merits, but they didn't expect Chen Jian to preside over internal affairs.

But when I think about it, it's normal. At the beginning of the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, Chen Jian opposed the pursuit of Luchuan and proposed to transfer the main force back to Beijing, but Wang Zhen was angered and was imprisoned and killed.

It can be seen that Chen Jian is not very belligerent.

Thinking of this, everyone also sighed, from the perspective of hindsight, Chen Jian's control of the situation was extremely accurate.

If the orthodox emperor listened to Chen Jian's advice, he stopped the expedition to Luchuan and transferred the army back to Beijing.

When he also invaded Shanxi in July, Wang Ji's main force of 100,000 Beijing troops happened to return to the capital.

The outcome of the battle of Shanxi can only be ruthlessly crushed by Wang Ji, so there will be no change in the civil fort, no Jingtai Dynasty, and no messy things behind.

It is still the twenty-first year of orthodoxy, the orthodox emperor is in the prime of life, the eldest son of the emperor is about to grow up, the monarch and the minister are harmonious, and the years are quiet.

It's a pity that everything is irreparable, and there is no sigh.

Yue Zheng made a division of labor: Cui Gong, the political envoy of Youbu, was in charge of Dengzhou Mansion, Laizhou Mansion, and Qingzhou Mansion; According to the inspector, Chen Jian was in charge of Jinan Mansion, Dongchang Mansion, and Yanzhou Mansion.

Lu Yu, the political envoy of Zuobu, Gu Zhong, the chief military officer, and Xu Zheng, the counselor of military affairs, were in charge of the Dengzhou Naval Division.

Yue Zheng himself, as well as Deputy Chief Soldier Chen Mingde, Staff General Wu Zhong, and Counselor Military Affairs Huang Jian and Zhang Ning, who are in charge of the Jiaozhou Water Division.

The Jiaozhou Naval Division was mainly based on newly built warships and was the main force for attacking Japan, and the Dengzhou Naval Division was used as an auxiliary.

Yue Zheng finally emphasized to everyone: "This big battle may not be finished in three years. Japan has five provinces and seven provinces, with a total of 68 small countries.

At the very least, we will take down the western part of the Saikaido and Nankaido and Sanyo Province and the Sanyang Road.

This is what the Holy God asks of us. The rest can be played slowly and without hurry.

At this point, there is no need to keep it secret, what the Holy Lord wants most is the silver mines in Japan and the silver deposits of the Japanese people, followed by the population of Japan.

This battle, to be precise, should be the Silver War.

The Holy Lords estimated that after conquering Japan, it would bring five million taels of silver to the imperial court every year.

At that time, we will all be great heroes, and it will be just around the corner to become an official and become famous in history. ”

When most of the people heard this, they didn't believe it, so there was a heated discussion about whether Japan could produce five million taels of silver a year.

If you can really increase the income of the imperial court by five million taels a year, then everyone will not be sleepy.

Throughout March, the Jiaoju and Dengju naval divisions were sending troops and supplies to Jeju Island in a steady stream.

Later, at the instigation of Chen Mingde, Yue Zheng and others even changed their thinking and built Jeju Island as a permanent military port for the Shandong Naval Division.

Eventually, Yue Zheng became more and more emboldened, and even wrote to the emperor, requesting that Jeju Island be placed under the jurisdiction of Shandong and set up as a state capital as an overseas enclave of Shandong.

It's a bit whimsical.

In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of April, and it was still rainy.

Zhu Qiyu still fishes for one day and dries nets for three days.

woke up on the soft couch in the morning, got up and looked out the window, it was still raining lightly outside, Zhu Qiyu leaned on the backrest, hugged the quilt, crooked by the window, reading a book while listening to the rain.

Looking at it, Zhu Qiyu suddenly sighed: "Hey, when will I be able to make this transparent glass?" These craftsmen in Qingzhou Mansion are not powerful, I am a dignified tomorrow, so I can't go in person. ”

Lin Xiangyu asked curiously, "Why does the husband have such a big obsession with transparent glass?" ”

Zhu Qiyu explained: "Transparent glass can promote the progress of various technologies in Daming. How to say it, you have heard of the alchemy of Taoist alchemists.

Stuff all kinds of things into the alchemy furnace and burn them, let them react with each other, and then refine all kinds of strange things.

But one of the biggest problems is that in the process of alchemy, the Taoist priests can't see what is happening in the alchemy furnace, so the alchemy is all blind.

It's not the same with high temperature resistant clear glass, and I'll give you a common example, when you make wine, you put the ingredients in a clear glass bottle and seal them, and you can see the whole process from grapes to wine.

There are also craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry, refining metals and stuff, tinkering with mercury, lead, mercury, etc., and with transparent glass, you can see the reaction process. ”

Lin Xiangyu nodded in a daze: "Our daughter's family really doesn't understand these things, but husband, you are honest and guard the door for us at home, don't really go to work yourself." ”

Ning Xiang smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, but I understand." The clear glass that my husband said can be very useful when I make spices and balms.

Husband, tell me how to make transparent glass. ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "I heard that in the far west, some small countries can make transparent glass, and probably the Ottoman Empire can also make it.

When our fleet returns to the Western Ocean, let them come back with some craftsmen from overseas. ”

When Lin Xiangyu heard this, she couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "What's the matter, is what I said ridiculous?" ”

Lin Xiangyu shook his head: "The matter itself is not ridiculous, it's just that the husband refuses to pretend now, he opens his mouth to rob, closes his mouth to rob, where is he still like the monarch of the Heavenly Empire." ”

A few people were talking and laughing, and Qianxue and Suxi walked in from outside in the wind and rain.

As soon as they came in, the two threw the notebook on the couch and drilled into Zhu Qiyu's quilt.

Zhu Qiyu hugged the two cuties on the left and right, looking at this beauty on the left and this beauty on the right. It's been eight years, and Zhu Qiyu still can't see the difference between the little sisters from their appearance.

Su Xi said with a smile: "Husband, don't look at it, the slave family is light snow, you better deal with the business." ”

Zhu Qiyu hugged the beauty and said with a smile: "Isn't the widow's business just to play with women, is there anything else?" ”

Su Xi said with a smile: "The husband is still here leisurely, and the cabinet is about to fight." ”

"Why the fight?"

"You asked Tingtui to push two cabinet scholars, they said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and they didn't give in to each other, so they started fighting.

No, they each proposed a candidate, wrote a recital, and respectfully asked the Holy Judge. ”

Thanks to the evil Taoist for the reward of 5,000 coins
