Chapter 14: The Times Make Heroes

The scale of Longjiang Shipyard is very large, and the shipwrights are all shirtless, in groups of three or five, and they cooperate with each other to work hard.

Divide the wood with a saw, polish the surface of the wood with a planer, drill with a chisel, and organize and summarize the ship's material...... The smell of wood fills the air, and it's thriving.

"At the moment, we are just preparing the ship's materials, and we have not yet reached the final assembly link." "In addition, I also ordered people to go to the existing ships in Daming to find relatively new and reusable timber, which can be used in the less important parts of the treasure ships, so as to shorten the construction period and reduce expenses as much as possible." ”

Li Qing nodded and suggested: "Sanbao, I think it's better to assemble one first, in case everything is ready, and if something goes wrong in the last link, it will be a failure." ”

"Don't worry, sir." Sanbao said confidently, "Each type of ship has been reduced and assembled in the same proportion before cutting materials, and each part of the ship has a special shipwright in charge, and they are responsible for any problems, and no one dares to be sloppy." ”

Li Qing was stunned for a moment and nodded with a smile.

Compared with their descendants, the ancients were not stupid at all, but they were limited by feudal confinement and had no industrial support.

Even many things in later generations were copied by later generations as the homework of the ancients.

After shopping for most of the day and seeing that everything was in order, Li Qing was completely relieved.

The two returned to the office room, sipping tea and chatting about the past.

"Sanbao, you have outstanding ability, and he will definitely be used by the emperor one day."

"Mr. has won the prize." Sanbao was very modest, "If there is no battle of Jingjing, I am still in the palace, it is not that I am powerful, but the emperor's reuse is remarkable to me." ”

He took a sip of tea, with a gentle smile on his face, "This person, no one is much better than the other, most of them have no chance."

, once he is given a chance, he knows that he will not be able to make a career. ”

Li Qing smiled dumbly, highly approving of Sanbao's words.

In the past, Lao Zhu was just a cowherd baby, and it is estimated that if he wanted to say that he could be the emperor at that time, he would not believe it himself.

The times make heroes!

But in this era, the current situation is in the hands of the emperor, more precisely, the current situation is the emperor's will and ambition.

Take Huo Quai, who was often on the lips of Lan Yu at the beginning, if there was no talent of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there would be no champion Hou, let alone the exploits of sealing the wolf.

And Zhu Di ...... Among the emperors of all dynasties, he is definitely among the best.

Even since him, no emperor has been able to match him.

……

Li Qing stayed in the Longjiang Shipyard for half a month, and saw that all the work was in order, and the shipyard was the same with him or not, so he simply went home.

Just a few days after he was free, Zhu Di came to the door and asked him to hurry up and work.

That meal of flatbread is too top, Zhu Di is full of energy now, he is busy himself, and he can't watch others idle.

Li Qing had no choice but to work from 9 to 5.

He didn't go to the early court, and he didn't go to the death either, so he went to the morning court, and by the way, he assisted Xiaopang, and he could barely make Zhu Di satisfied.

East Palace.

Xiaopang put down the note in his hand and said with a smile, "Sir, last time you mentioned the national policy of reforming the household registration system, I asked Xie Jin and Jin Youzi to read it, and they all unanimously said that it was feasible, and I was ready to talk to my father about it and implement it as soon as possible." ”

Li Qing nodded, the situation is completely stable at this stage, and with Zhu Di, the iron-blooded emperor, in charge, it is not difficult to implement.

"The hukou system does have to be changed, but ......," Li Qing muttered, "we still have to consider the impact of the implementation." ”

"It's nature." Xiaopang said, "It is definitely inappropriate to rush into full implementation, the situation outside the customs is uncertain, and the army cannot be changed, but the people can relax some." ”

Li Qing saw that Xiaopang looked like Zhizhu was holding it, and said with a smile: "It seems that you already have a belly case, let's hear it." ”

"Yes, indeed." Chubby smiled, "I think so, on the surface, I still can't openly support people to change their household registration at will;

After all, the old version of the household registration system has been used for so long, and if it is not directly restricted, there will definitely be chaos, but the imperial court can reduce the punishment for changing the household registration without permission;

For example, change it to 20 boards! ”

Xiaopang smiled: "Twenty boards can't kill people, it's just a meal of flesh and skin, and the binding force is greatly reduced, what does Mr. think?" ”

"Twenty boards can still kill people, don't forget the brocade guard." Li Qing shook his head slowly, "Those with vested interests, if they buy local officials, it is likely to backfire, so it is better to be sentenced to twenty lashes." ”

There are five mainstream punishments in the Ming Dynasty, flogging, rods, imprisonment, exile, and death; Flogging is the lightest punishment, that is, hitting a person's legs and buttocks with thorns, which is applicable to the punishment of misdemeanors, and the specifications of thorns are also strictly regulated;

Twenty flogging, at most a little skin trauma, even if the thorn strip is broken, it is impossible to kill anyone.

Xiaopang pondered for a moment and nodded slowly: "What Mr. thinks is that flogging is more appropriate, and I will polish it again when I go back and transfer it to my father." ”

"Hmm." Li Qing nodded, and then chatted with Xiaopang and farted, "How does it feel to be the prince in charge?" ”

"No, it's far from being as comfortable as the son of the world." Chubby said helplessly, "I feel like I'm thin." ”

Li Qing: "......"

"Tired or not?"

"I'm tired, but I'm not stupid, I'll rest when I'm tired." Little Fat has a wide heart and a fat body, "A living person can still suffocate urine to death, with my father to support it, what am I afraid of, the sky can't fall." ”

When Li Qing heard this, he was relieved.

At the beginning, if Zhu Biao had the psychology of being chubby, he would not have died young.

Xiaopang is also afraid of Lao Tzu, but he has a big heart, nothing more than being beaten, he has no other advantages in this body, that is, he is beaten, although he is also tired, but there is basically no burden on his psychology.

The two were chatting happily, and Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly came in, "Boss, the third child is going to be a vassal today, and you won't send it away?" ”

"Oh, yes." Xiaopang suddenly remembered that there was still this stubble, got up and said, "Let's go, go and see him off." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said mockingly, "Look, when you become a prince, you even forget your brother." ”

Li Qing couldn't get used to hearing others talk about Xiaopang, so he asked, "The domain of the King of Han has been selected in Yun. South, right now, King Zhao is going to be a vassal, I don't know when King Han will be a vassal? ”

"This ......" Zhu Gaoxu choked for a moment and said, "I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry, I still want to accompany my father again." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Li Qing resentfully, the last golden bean made him unable to let go.

Li Qing sneered and said no more, but his heart was thinking about how to get rid of this guy.

——

At the gate of the palace, the family of Zhu Gaosui, the king of Zhao, was bidding farewell to Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun.

"Live your life well, don't think about majesty." Zhu Di advised, "If I know that you have violated the law and harmed the people, then you will go to Fengyang's hometown to guard the tomb of your grandfather." ”

"Yes, yes, son-in-law obeys." Zhu Gaosui agreed again and again.

Zhu Di sighed, his son was about to go away, he was a little reluctant in his heart, and said a warm word: "If you miss your father and queen mother, come back and see." ”

"Erchen knows." Zhu Gaosui nodded, glanced at Li Qing and the others, and raised his voice to say hello.

"Big brother, second brother, sir, are you all here to send me?"

Zhu Gaoxu's face is not very good-looking, since the eldest conferred the title of prince, the third and second brothers have stopped screaming, and they are the second brother when they open their mouths and close their mouths, which makes him very angry.

If it weren't for Zhu Gaosui's entry today, he would have let him taste the love from his second brother.

"King Zhao, have a good trip." Li Qing arched his hand.

"Hey, you're welcome, sir." Zhu Gaosui smiled and turned to look at Xiaopang, "Big brother, I'm leaving." ”

Xiaopang stepped forward and helped him straighten his python robe, "Come back often when you have time, and bring a few more letters no matter how bad it is." ”

"Well, my brother wrote it down." Zhu Gaosui nodded, finally looked at Xu Miaoyun, and said reluctantly, "Queen Mother, my son is gone, take care of your body." ”

Xu Miaoyun nodded with red eyes, sniffed, and showed a motherly smile, "Slow down on the road." ”

Zhu Gaosui nodded, bowed to his father and queen mother, and turned around and got into the carriage.

Looking at the carriage that was moving away, Zhu Di's eyes couldn't help but moisten slightly, his son couldn't see it all day long.

When the guard of honor disappeared from sight, a few people walked back, Xiaopang told Zhu Di what he and Li Qing thought, Zhu Di nodded frequently when he listened, the haze in his heart gradually disappeared, and he laughed loudly.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the few people who were talking and laughing, his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he couldn't take a step.

His expression was gloomy, and he suddenly felt that he was an outsider, standing fixed in place, his eyes blank.

"Gao Xu, why are you stunned?"

"Queen Mother, I... I still have some business, so I'll go back to the palace first. Zhu Gaoxu forced out a smile, "My son will come to visit his mother another day." ”

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's mother, Xu Miaoyun couldn't see his son's loss, so he took him and said, "Let's go, go to Qianqing Palace with your mother, your eldest brother is busy, let's have a good chat." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother."

Zhu Gaoxu's heart was warm, but he didn't warm for a while, and then he was cold again.

"Cloud. Although the south is poor, but the scenery is pleasant, not much worse than the south of the Yangtze River, it is a good place to go, you don't have a domain and forget your mother. ”

"Queen Mother, I still want to accompany you again."

"There is no feast in the world that will never be dissolved." Xu Miaoyun said gently: "The queen mother is reluctant to let you, but she can't keep you all the time and don't let you be a vassal, right?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said with a straight face, "It is not uncommon for a son to be a vassal king, he just wants to be by his mother's side." ”

"Huh?" Xu Miaoyun's delicate eyebrows twisted, and her tone was a little unkind, "It's not rare to be a vassal king, that's rare to be a prince?" ”

"No, no, my son didn't think about it that way." Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand again and again.

"Alright." Xu Miaoyun's face turned cold, "You go back and prepare, and you will go to Yunnan in two days." ”

"I ...... the Queen Mother"

"Huh?"

"Son...... Retirement. Zhu Gaoxu was full of loss, but he didn't dare to be disobedient.

Over the years, the three brothers know who the real family is, they are afraid of beating their fathers at every turn, but they are even more afraid of their mothers with a kind face.

Li Qing's ears and eyes are smart, and when he heard the movement behind him, he put his heart at ease and said secretly: It has to be a female student!
