Chapter 215 The Great Fire at Meishikou
On a snowy day, Zhu Yijun went to the construction site of the pagoda to see the excitement. The Ming Dynasty's Kedao Yanguan and pen editors were pounding in the soil in the heavy snow. Fortunately, it is almost completed, otherwise the Chinese New Year would not be a good one.
Zhu Yijun noticed one thing, that is, even if he is the official of Ke Dao, this clear stream still lives a luxurious life, with a bunch of servants, the emperor has made it clear that the officials of Ke Dao can To work, these traveling servants can only wait outside.
More than forty ministers and more than one hundred and thirty servants were waiting outside. The scene was extremely spectacular.
“A Kedao Yanguan must have at least a chauffeur, a charioteer and a groom waiting outside, as well as a servant holding a soup dumpling, for fear that my father will be cold and tired. This is not the end of it. There is also a concubine in this car, waiting to warm the hands of our scholar-bureaucrats. If I hadn't come here to take a look today, I wouldn't have seen this scene. The life of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty was really extravagant." Zhu Yijun stood in Dalongxing. Outside the construction site of the temple pagoda, looking at the crowd of servants outside, he said with deep emotion.
Zhang Juzheng was particularly happy for the emperor to have contact with his assistant ministers, courtiers, and courtiers. He also wanted the young emperor to move around more and not stay in Jiuchong as he did in the late Jiajing and Longqing years.
So as soon as the emperor said that he wanted to go to the construction site to see Yan Guan working in short brown shorts, he immediately came to the pagoda construction site from Shanruliu. He did see the scene of working. Ke, who had no power to restrain a chicken, The ministers really don't know how to work, and they are almost exhausted.
Zhang Juzheng breathed out and said helplessly: "If you leave the capital, the pomp will be even greater. A few days ago, Yi Cheng reported that a seventh-rank Taoist official left the capital and went to Jiayuguan to take up a post. He just accompanied him. There were more than ten servants, and the post only provided food for Yan Guan. Yan Guan was extremely dissatisfied and wanted to beat Yi Cheng. Yi Cheng had seven post soldiers under his command, and they almost got into a fight. Yan Guan saw that Yi Cheng was so fierce, so he stopped. If you talk too much, you will be impeached and the post station will be abolished. "
The reason why the post manager dared to only provide water and food to Yan Guan was because he was reprimanded, but he was normally in office. , it is probably necessary for the inn to support these people together, even food and water for more than ten people, which is a huge expense for the inn.
"It turns out that Hu Ke was involved in the affair, Shi Yingyue. I remember that he impeached Hou Yuzhao and was demoted to the northwest. It seems that he has not changed his mind." Zhu Yijun thought about it for a while and locked it. Who is this official?
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng nodded. It was indeed Shi Yingyue. After this man was reprimanded, he had too many servants accompanying him, which caused complaints at the post station. Therefore, Shi Yingyue came up with a remonstrance to abolish the post station.
Zhang Juzheng only thought that Shi Yingyue was crazy.
The post roads and official roads of the Ming Dynasty were an extension of the emperor’s imperial power. Wherever the post roads extended, the imperial power extended to them. No matter how expensive the post station was, the post soldiers had to be maintained. During the Longqing period, due to the shortage of state supplies, the wind and public opinion were at a loss. Several requests were made to abolish some inns in the name of provincial construction, but they were all rejected. Now that Shi Yingyue was talking about the matter again, Zhang Juzheng knew clearly that Shi Yingyue was crazy.
There are very few Confucian scholars like Zhou Liangyin who suddenly wake up.
"He didn't ask me to abolish the post station. He clearly wanted me to be the king of the country." Zhu Yijun was very dissatisfied with this advice. Emperor Chongzhen ended up losing money because of the negative remarks created by the official. , the post station was abolished, and Li Zicheng was abolished.
In the fourth year of Wanli, the situation in the Ming Dynasty was naturally better than that in the Chongzhen period, but the situation was limited. If the post stations were really abolished, civil unrest would inevitably break out.
The reason for Shi Yingyue's request to abolish the inn was simply that the inn had neglected him.
"Not only will it not be abolished, but since the prosperity of the city, this post road must be expanded and renovated. The Daming Department Store thoroughfare and Shui Ma Post are the top priorities." Zhu Yijun said very solemnly.
“I remember my husband’s history talk about Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs during the Yongle period. Once, Xia Yuanji’s younger brother went to Beijing to visit relatives. When he finally left, Xia Yuanji gave his younger brother two shi of rice to return home. This is our home, and we are being accused of extravagance by the officials." The young emperor and the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty looked at the servants outside the pagoda construction site, and felt deeply for a while.
As the Minister of Household Affairs of the Yongle Dynasty, Xia Yuanji was a close confidant of Zhu Di. If he wanted to be greedy, he would definitely give his younger brother more than two shi of rice, but Xia Yuanji just didn't have any extra money to give to his younger brother.
Xia Yuanji was in Yongle for 20 years and strongly opposed Zhu Di's continued Northern Expedition. After fighting for so many years, the national funds were indeed empty. Xia Yuanji's biggest reason for opposing Zhu Di's personal expedition was that Zhu Di was no longer young, and Zhu Di had old wounds after fighting for many years. There are too many, so they should rest and recuperate well. Even if they are fighting, they can let the British Duke Zhang Fu do it for them.
However, Qiu Fu, the first hero of Jingnan and Duke of Qi, initially underestimated the enemy and rushed in, and many people were killed, which made Zhu Di feel uneasy if he did not conquer it himself.
In the end, Zhu Di was also on the way to the fifth Northern Expedition.
Xia Yuanji himself was not a corrupt official. He could not even afford a servant for only two shi of rice. When the King of Han conspired to rebel, Xia Yuanji insisted on personally conquering to prevent accidents. After all, he was still an uncle beating his nephew.
Zhang Juzheng's life was very extravagant. The basic expenditure of the Quanchu Guild Hall was 1,000 taels a year, but Zhang Juzheng was the chief minister of the country and the emperor's master.
Kedao Yanguan, no matter what his identity and contribution, he is also so extravagant!
"Your Majesty, there will be trouble in the preparation for the establishment of Xishan Coal Bureau recently." Zhang Juzheng gave the little emperor a vaccination and told His Majesty that this matter would never end so easily.
Zhu Yijun said calmly: "Then come."
"Da Sikou, you don't have the heart to be submissive." Zhu Yijun said to Wang Chonggu.
"I am terrified." Wang Chong, the ancients were all stupid, why didn't he have the heart to be submissive? He did a good job, but he didn't cut corners when he cut open his stomach. Why was he labeled as not being submissive?
Zhu Yijun looked at the people coming and going on the construction site and said helplessly: "Da Si Kou, you clearly understood what I said and filled in the holes, just to deliberately embarrass Ke Dao Yan Guan, but Da Si Kou didn't embarrass them, and the construction period ended this year ago. , it should be dug up and filled in, dug out and filled in, dug out and filled in, and so on. These science and education officials have suffered a lot. Next time they speak, they will know how to practice it and carefully investigate before speaking. "
"Correcting the habit of talking loudly in court and talking about one's inner nature is more important than the construction schedule of the pagoda."
Wang Chonggu fully understood that in order to meet the construction deadline, he made a lot of arrangements. The common people worked together, and most of these scientific officials were lazy. The common people were still working. He just wanted to repair the pagoda quickly, but His Majesty was more concerned about the wind and public opinion.
“If they work for just a few days, they will be scolded for decades. If they are allowed to work for a few months, won’t they be scolded for several lifetimes?” Wang Chonggu expressed his worries.
A few days of work can lead to decades of scolding. Wang Chonggu’s words are based on actual practice. Exiling officials to the border areas, even if they later forgive their family members, after their family members return to their hometown, I started writing short compositions and kept writing them for decades.
Wang Chonggu has received enough infamy, so he is not too harsh.
“Just dig it ten times first, then let them dig it after filling it in. Repeat this ten times. I said that if you are not satisfied with the work done by Ke Chen, he is cheating and cheating. That’s it. "Zhu Yijun came in person when he saw that Wang Chonggu refused to bear the infamy.
"The Ming Dynasty's national law falsely accused the rebels. Since they said that the big officials cut corners, I can also say that they cheated and cheated. This is not too much, that is, digging out ten times and backfilling ten times. It's not like I don't "Give them food."
He is young and has good moral character.
"I obey the decree." Wang Chonggu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at the officials who were working, full of sympathy. His Majesty's eyes rolled, it was a tortured bad idea, and the reason was very Full, cheating and slipping.
"Let's go." Zhu Yijun left the pagoda construction site with his hands behind his back.
"Farewell to Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu saluted respectfully again.
"Yuanfu, you must be diligent in admonishing your majesty to be kind. All ministers and workers in the Ming Dynasty depend on Mr. Yuanfu." Wang Chonggu looked at the back of the little emperor. He was not a child, he was clearly a monster.
"I am a little alone and can't stand it alone. I asked the great Sikou to join the cabinet, but the great Sikou refused to live or die." Zhang Juzheng said with strong emotion in his tone.
"This matter has to be done by Mr. Sir, who is the emperor's master." Wang Chonggu could not imagine what kind of disaster these officials would encounter after His Majesty took charge.
It is night, and the heavy snow that has been flying in the sky for three days has finally stopped. The sky has finally cleared up. The long-lost bright moon hangs high in the Tiangong, covering the earth with a silvery white. The inside and outside of the capital are covered in silver. On snowy days, people rarely go out, and the streets become increasingly deserted. The watchmen in Qiaolou are still beating gongs and clappers in the streets and alleys, shouting: "The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of the candles."
"The water has leaked! The water has leaked!" shouted loudly, and the watchman's complexion changed drastically when he heard this. He looked to the northwest and began to beat the gong continuously to tell people that the water had leaked.
Every year during the Ming Dynasty, people set off fireworks during the Chinese New Year very cautiously, because the capital city is all made of wooden structures. As long as there is a fire, it will be in pieces. The watchmen beat the gongs and drums to remind everyone to hurry up. Leave the house and go out together to put out the fire to prevent it from burning to your own home.
Qiaolou Lookout saw the fire and immediately began to move towards the fire scene, which was located at Meishikou.
There are two Meishikou in the inner and outer cities of the Ming Dynasty, one in Xizhimen and one in Guangningmen. The largest one in Guangningmen was burned.
A large part of the coal transported into the city from the Mentougou coal kiln in the west of Beijing by the firewood bearers was piled and sold here, hence the name. The waterway connecting the Jinshui River and the moat has a stone bridge on it, which is called the Coal City Bridge. .
Meishikou Street is all about collecting and distributing coal frying business.
When the fire started, the fire was soaring into the sky, and the smoke was billowing. People were running around to put out the fire. Watchmen were walking on the street. When the fire started, the watchmen were already hammering on the door, but they still It is inevitable that someone would feel the heat while sleeping and die in the fire.
Zhu Yijun heard the noise in the middle of the night, sat up suddenly, put on a big cloak, and walked out of his dormitory. He already saw Wang Yaozhuo waiting at the door, looking extremely anxious.
"Is Baoqisi burning up?" Zhu Yijun's face was still calm. There was a fire at the beginning of the fourth year of Wanli, and another fire at the end of the year. His face was complicated, and he was so hated. ? But Wang Chonggu has said many times that the more prosperous and exciting the Ming Dynasty is, the more wealth the meat eaters will have. This is a mutually reinforcing result.
It is not just about confiscating the homes of powerful people, but concentrating wealth into the court is inspiring.
Zhu Yijun couldn't understand why he, Zhang Juzheng, Wang Chonggu, Tan Lun, and Wang Guoguang were so hated by others. Are they so hated that they have to kill him? Zhang Siwei set fire to the palace, and the big case had just come to an end. Before he could take a breath, it happened again.
"No, the news from outside the palace is that the coal market is on fire." Wang Yaozhuo quickly replied, if Baoqisi was on fire, Wang Yaozhuo would have broken into the palace and killed the little girl regardless of propriety, justice and shame. The emperor was shaken awake.
Wang Yaozhuo slept very lightly. This was related to the fact that she was used to living a precarious life. She would wake up at the slightest movement. When the coal market started burning, Wang Yaozhuo got up when she heard the sound. No When Baoqisi was on fire, she was waiting in front of the door. When His Majesty woke up, she waited on him. When His Majesty didn't wake up, she waited.
"Oh, it's not Baoqisi that's on fire, it's Meishikou...Meishikou!" Zhu Yijun woke up immediately, Meishikou was burning!
Zhu Yijun immediately boarded the Wenhua Building and looked at Meishikou Street due south. The fire had already burned half the sky red. He frowned at the horizon and tightened his cloak.
In the early morning of the next day, the court meeting was held as usual, and the Meishikou fire case became a major case.
“The fire killed one hundred and twenty-seven people, including three firemen. They died fighting the fire, so I thought it would be appropriate to build a Zhongyong Temple to commemorate them.” Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, first asked for a posthumous name for the firemen. The standard for the construction of the Zhongyong Temple is: if a soldier dies while rescuing the head of Guizhou, a Zhongyong Temple will be built to commemorate his merits.
The Zhongyong Temple is not big. There is an octagonal pavilion with an inscription on it, which is engraved with the details of the soldiers' heroic sacrifices to save the people.
People may forget their efforts, just like Chen Youren slandered the Nan soldiers led by Qi Jiguang, but Stone will remember. "That's right." Zhu Yijun nodded immediately and said.
There is no objection to this. The fireman belongs to the army and is served by soldiers from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division. The fireman knows better than ordinary people that fire and water are ruthless, but he still died for the sake of saving lives. , deserving of this honor.
"Have you found out the cause of the fire?" Zhu Yijun asked eagerly.
Wang Chonggu frowned and shook his head and said: "No, the fire burned it all."
Arson is the most difficult major case to investigate. Zhang Siwei dared to set fire to the palace. It is impossible to find such a case, but the palace is full of reporting boxes. Before the fire started, someone had already reported that there was a fire. This was considered to be a man-made disaster rather than a natural disaster. Follow this clue to find out. Checked it out.
There was no advance information about the fire at Meishikou, and there was no way to investigate it. Even through inspection, clues and information were difficult to distinguish between true and false.
“It has just snowed, and the weather is unusually dry. Using coal for heating is indeed prone to fires. They happen several times every winter, but this time it is particularly unusual.” Zhang Juzheng believes that it is not an accident, but man-made. The reason for this judgment was that there was a fire at Meishikou.
You must know that the place where coal is piled does not even have a stove, just for fear of catching fire. Many coal yards will set up isolation zones to prevent fires from spreading to their homes. They are also close to the Jinshui River and the moat, and are surrounded by It was the fireman. The fire started so fast that even the fireman was killed.
In addition, the preparation of the Xishan Coal Bureau touched the interests of some people, so Zhang Juzheng believed that it was man-made.
"Actually, we can check it." Wang Chonggu held his hands and said, "Your Majesty, just look at who has put in a lot of coal recently."
"If it is really man-made, Then it must be that some people moved their own coal mines in advance, the road was blocked by heavy snow, and the coal market entrance was hit again. The price of coal will definitely rise to the sky. When the time comes, it will depend on who is dumping coal in large quantities. The culprit is."
"The fire has indeed burned away all the evidence. If it is for profit, just find the person who stocked up and moved the coal for the explosion in advance."
Wang Chonggu provided. Investigate the case from another angle.
The imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty was leaking air everywhere like a sieve. The content of the court discussion has not yet ended. The outer court already knows everything. As Feng Bao’s report box continues to increase, , coupled with Zhang Siwei's arson case, Empress Dowager Li went crazy in the Qing Palace. Now it is difficult to tell whether the news in the palace is true or false.
So, as long as there are no traitors among the court officials, it is indeed possible to find out this case.
Zhu Yijun agreed very much with Wang Chonggu's suggestion. He thought for a while and said: "Stop the construction of the tripod, and all the people will go to the official kiln in Xishan to push coal. In the future, these eggs cannot be put in the same basket."
< br>Ding Jian was preparing to take a break before the Chinese New Year. Zhu Yijun planned to work harder for the craftsmen who built the palace. Wang Chonggu paid the median wage to the Ding Jian craftsmen at eleven taels of silver per person per year. This was to catch up. The price of labor during the construction period.
The craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are not very demanding. They give the money on time. If they are asked to work more, they will be given more money. Even if they are not given more money, they will be given some meat. If there are two more The craftsmen were willing to make two wines, and they were very happy.
If you look closely, you will see that the craftsmen are actually very similar to the soldiers on the border. They can live safely with half a salary, and they can repel the invading enemies with a full stomach.
I am afraid that I will not even be given half a salary or a full meal. There is absolutely no enthusiasm for this kind of production.
Wang Chonggu paid the craftsmen enough wages because he was afraid that if the grand construction of the cauldron would delay His Majesty's wedding, he would die.
So, let the craftsmen carry coal and ensure the supply of coal. The craftsmen are willing to do it. After all, if the coal supply is insufficient, people will really freeze to death, and many people will freeze to death.
The wine and meat of Zhumen smells bad, and there are frozen bones on the road.
After Wang Chonggu accepted the order, he left the Wenhua Palace directly. He did not even participate in the court meeting and concentrated on supervising the matter.
"The governor of Luzon, whose surname is Zhengmao, sent a memorial. In the memorial, Yin Budang talked about the water transport of the Ming Dynasty." Zhang Juzheng took out a memorial, his expression was a bit strange, Yin Zhengmao seemed not to be correct yet He realized that he was already a prince in a separate regime, and regarded himself as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, actively participating in discussing the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty.
For example, in this memorial discussing water transport, Yin Zhengmao, who was far away in Luzon, was still very concerned about the Ming Dynasty's sea transport and was a staunch supporter of sea transport of grain.
Zhang Juzheng circulated Yin Zhengmao's memorial and explained: "Yin Budang said that if the Ming Dynasty does not transport grain by sea, then Luzon will not be able to collect taxes. Where taxes cannot be collected, then It was no longer the territory of the Ming Dynasty. After all, the only way from Luzon to the Ming Dynasty was by sea-cao, so he supported shipping grain by sea. Moreover, Liu Lu in the Household Affairs Bureau, Yang Yikui who participated in the Cao Reserve and Political Affairs, Liu Guangji, the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, etc. all agreed one after another, requesting that the sea-cao transport be firmly established. "
Hai Rui looked at the memorial and thought: "The loyalty of the overseas ministers of Lu Song can be learned from the world. How can your majesty abandon me and ignore it?"
Yin Zhengmao is here. In the memorial, it is directly on the outline and online. Haicao must be done and must be continued. Once the technical problems are solved, administrative problems must be solved. If there is no Haicao, the Ming Dynasty will not want Luzon! It’s just abandoned soil!
Whoever opposes Hai Cao is a sycophant who abandons the land! Who is a national traitor!
The key is that Yin Zhengmao’s logic is not forced on the line and cannot be refuted at all. Luzon has the brass, gold, tung oil, fish oil, sugar cubes and maritime security that the Ming Dynasty needs. The Luzon Governor-General, It is the front line of the struggle between the Ming Dynasty and the Hongmao Fan. If they don’t fight in Luzon, how can they fight on the coastline of the Ming Dynasty?
“Isn’t this the fear of fighting a wolf with a straw?” Wan Shihe said with a smile: “The imperial court is worried about Luzon’s separatism, and Luzon is worried that the imperial court will abandon it. The surnamed master of the country still has to rely on Luzon. During the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao was wise and powerful. "
The surname of Lu Song was actually copied from the surname of Yunnan, Prince Mu. One was in the border area and the other was overseas, and both had successful experience.
"I more agree with what Yin Butang said. Giving up the Hai Cao is equivalent to giving up Luzon, which is equivalent to the crime of abandoning the land. If you say this, you will be a national thief." Tan Lun agreed with Yin Zhengmao's proposal and went online. This kind of trick is not only played by cheap Confucians, but also by ministers.
Haicao used to be a technical problem, but after Zhang Juzheng built the grain tank, this is no longer a problem. As long as the ship can return to normal at sea, the freight for sea-cao will be cheaper than that for river-cao. This will greatly alleviate the food shortage dilemma in Xuanda, Gyeonggi and Liaodong.
The lack of food in the north is not only caused by natural endowments. The invasion of Japan in the 29th year of Jiajing and the first year of Longqing also caused farmers in the Gyeonggi area to flee. This impact is extremely far-reaching. How long will it take for these fleeing people to recover?
Zhang Juzheng’s answer is at least ten years.
Huang Taiji, a small Tatar chieftain, was very good at this trick. He invaded the capital from Xifengkou when nothing happened, plundered the capital, and robbed the people. Over and over again, for more than ten years, he completely emptied the capital. It has become a no-man's land, and the population loss in Gyeonggi has further worsened the food shortage dilemma in the north.
The canal is not abandoned. On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty is still maintaining the canal. If the maritime canal can really become a long-term national policy, then the Grand Canal, the main artery of the empire, will explode because its transportation capacity will no longer be delayed. Come with strong energy.
When grain was brought to Beijing, the rivers were closed. In order to survive when the rivers were closed, merchants had to find ways to hide the goods on the water boats and transport them to the north. Grain shipping will further release the vitality of the canal.
Transporting grain to Beijing is a political task. This thing has almost become a burden that consumes national power. However, sea transportation requires technology, and ships transporting grain by sea are indeed easy to capsize.
"Yin Butang said that they hunted a giant whale near the Big Island of Mindanao and paid tribute 127 kilograms of ambergris, 300 kilograms of shark oil, and 10,000 kilograms of fish oil." Wang Guoguang finished reading Yin Zhengmao's memorial. .
The naval battle in Mindanao has entered a boring confrontation time. Yin Zhengmao, the governor of Luzon, could not help the red-haired fans who were shrinking in the fortified city. The red-haired fans were also unable to win in the naval battle. This kind of garbage time Here, the big ship captured a giant whale.
One tael of ambergris is sold for 80 taels of silver. This 127 kilogram piece of ambergris is priced at more than 160,000 silver in Nanya. Ambergris is a top spice, and shark oil is a A top-quality lighting fish oil that burns cleaner and has a bright and stable flame.
Fishing and refining have become a pillar industry in Manila. This sea monster is indeed almost invincible in the sea, but humans are at the top of the food chain.
According to Zhu Yijun's temperament, the ambergris would be sold in the Imperial Mansion for cash instead of being used as a luxury product for his own use.
Sell money if you can.
"Guizhou Governor Jiang Yilin inscribed the Miao people's loss of more than 270,000 acres of official land in order to build a new county in Changning, in order to achieve long-term governance." Zhang Juzheng mentioned the recent implementation of the Ministry of Civil Affairs' reform of land and return to local people. latest progress.
This Miao leaf thief is named Ye Kai. The leader of the Miao ethnic group, Ye Kai, took advantage of danger to harm the Miao people, seized official land, and went on a rampage. Jiang Yilin's method of dealing with this hereditary chieftain was to alienate him. Ye Kai's lair was destroyed, and the chieftain was abolished and Changning County was established.
The construction costs in Changning County were sponsored by the deceased Ye Kai.
The court meeting was quickly passed, and Jiang Yilin was promoted to the position of censor of the capital and the minister of the household department. He is still the governor of Guizhou, and he also serves as the minister of the household department, which means that there is a vacancy in the household department, and Jiang Yilin is eligible to enter the capital. Tang Chong was appointed as the minister.
This step is extremely difficult for foreign officials.
Zhu Yijun is more curious about how Jiang Yilin solved this Ye thief. This chieftain of the Ye thief line has been arrogant and domineering from the Song Dynasty to the Wanli four years of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that it is deeply rooted and has not been solved for so many years. Jiang Yilin How do you get rid of the disease as soon as you get started?
After asking the reason clearly, Zhu Yijun could only say that the minds of scholars are really dirty.
Ye Kai was lustful. At the end of May in the fourth year of Wanli, Ye Kai robbed a beautiful woman into the mountain. There was a knife on the head of the word "sex". This beauty was Jiang Yilin's knife. The beauty was really beautiful. She was not more than two years old. Yue, the beauty stabbed Ye Kai to death while he was sleeping.
The more beautiful a woman is, the better she is at lying. This beauty killed Ye Kai, and internal strife broke out in the village to fight for position. During the fight, the Ming army invaded.
This beauty was originally Ye Kai's family member who was robbed because of the disaster. Jiang Yilin deliberately searched for her. When the stronghold was breached, the beauty was already dead, and Jiang Yilin buried her generously.
The Ministry of Industry wrote an inscription saying that the Taiji Factory was short of wood, and asked for orders to go to Yizhen Guazhou and other places to buy wood. Beiya wood is expensive, and even buying wood from Yangzhou and transporting it to Beijing is cheaper than buying it nearby. Cheap.
Zhu Yijun has decreed to stop using golden nanmu to build the palace, but the foundation factory still used up the accumulated wood.
There is no wood, let alone firewood. This is why Beiya is filled with yellow sand in spring, so the trees planted are white.
"Zhang Juzheng, a young master, concurrently the prince's grand master, the official's minister, and the grand scholar of Zhongji Palace, passed the examination in the ninth year. He was promoted to the highest rank and appointed as the grand master." Wan Shi He Zuo reported a major event. With the help of his nine-year examination results, Zhang Juzheng was offered the position of Grand Tutor and was promoted to the highest rank.
"Accurate!" Zhu Yijun didn't hesitate. He looked at Wan Shihe and became more and more pleased with him. Zhang Juzheng refused to be promoted many times. Whether he will be promoted or not is not up to you, Zhang Juzheng!
"I have "Kao Man Ci and No En Ming Shu"." Zhang Juzheng still wanted to refuse.
He had already predicted that the young emperor would promote him before the year, and prepared four letters of resignation.
Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! !
