Chapter 530 Today, tomorrow, the glory belongs to Ming craftsmen!
The Ming Technology Progress Award was originally a will left by Wang Chonggu to himself. It was the ultimate move among the big moves. He originally wanted to use the last ripple to earn a wave of fame. He had been a bully and horseman for the Ming Dynasty for so many years. His Majesty's request on his deathbed could only be agreed to. It was certain that Wang Chonggu would stay in the Qing Dynasty for a long time. However, Zhu Yijun intercepted this plan, but still left Wang Chonggu's name on the gold reward plaque.
Li Rusong, the son of Marquis Ningyuan, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty’s capital camp, the cavalry commander, and the person who leads the horse and kicks for His Majesty, is sitting on the white elephant, looking at the team in front. At the front is a group of people. Taiwan's compass car, the White Elephant and the compass car are both leading cars. Behind the lead car are the imperial guards wearing iron armor, a total of 600 people, divided into two columns. The left side carries the flag with the word "Su" and the right side carries the Mu character flag.
After the Jin Yiwei, there are the Han generals. Everyone is sitting on a tall horse, carrying a long ceremonial sword, majestic. After the three hundred and twenty Han generals, there are a total of The large jade chariot pulled by eighteen white horses is arranged in three rows of nine, six, and three horses. On both sides of the jade chariot, there are guards composed of Beizhen Fusiti cavalry.
It has four wheels, front and rear, about half the size of a bedroom. In the car are the Ming Emperor Zhu Yijun, Queen Wang Yaozhuo, and the eldest son Zhu Changzhi. Zhu Changzhi is lying by the window looking out curiously and pointing outside. , making a fuss and exclaiming from time to time, Wang Yaozhuo took the trouble to explain the scene that Zhu Changzhi had never seen before, while Zhu Yijun was reviewing the entire process of the ceremony.
Zhu Yijun is holding a box in his hand. The box is only the size of a palm. This is the protagonist of this award. The first-class merit card among the fifth-class merit cards is the Qigong card. The full number of Qigong cards is counted as sixteen taels ( 596g) made of pure gold, it is a rectangular tooth plaque, seven inches long and seven minutes long, two inches wide and four minutes wide, and five minutes thick.
The prince used gold, the ministers used silver, the officials used copper, and the emperor used jade. Zhu Yijun originally wanted to make it into a jade plaque, but after the Ministry of Rites chattered, he finally made it out of pure gold.
There are matters written on the front of the miraculous merit tablet. Why is this miraculous merit tablet a reward? For example, Wei Youshan's miraculous merit tablet has it written on it, on December 23, the tenth year of Wanli, Wei Youshan will be honored with good fortune, good luck, water and fertility. Contribute to the living people, contribute to heaven and earth, and give special rewards. On the back is Wang Chonggu's tribute to the learned people.
The gold medal is placed in a glass box. The glass box seals the Qigong Pai to prevent the inscriptions from harboring dirt. The sealed glass box is placed in a soft-bottomed sandalwood box, and the sandalwood box is engraved with The life of Wei Youshan. Wei Youshan's real name was Wei Sandao, because his family lived at the third intersection in the village. Wei Sandao's father was a kiln worker, his grandfather was a kiln worker, and his grandfather's grandfather was a kiln worker. Wei Sandao followed his father to the kiln wells since he was a child. His father died. Down the well, his mother was afraid that Wei Sandao would imitate his father, so she changed his name to Wei Youshan.
Wei Youshan has been very smart since he was a child, but his intelligence seemed of little use in the kiln until the Ming Dynasty began to establish the Xishan Coal Bureau.
Wang Chonggu repeatedly emphasized that he even hung a sign on the door of every handicraft workshop, telling the craftsmen that whether it was the Xishan Coal Bureau or the Woolen Official Factory, it was not his fault, but his Majesty's royal family. Because the full name of Xishan Coal Bureau is: Chizao Xishan Coal Bureau, and the woolen official factory is: Chizao Yongding Woolen Official Factory and Yongsheng Woolen Official Factory. All the kindness is because of His Majesty’s holy mandate.
But the craftsmen are still grateful to Wang Chonggu for his hard work for the official factory. The method of making the official factory of the Ming Dynasty has always been the foundation of Wang Chonggu, just as the test method is as important to Zhang Juzheng.
The Qigong Pavilion is made entirely of gold, but it is worthless because it is a gift from the emperor and cannot be sold. Similarly, if you are a portal that receives the Qigong Pavilion, you will really be reduced to selling the Qigong Pavilion for a living. At this point, it would be better for the Ming Dynasty to perish.
After the prince rode in the jade chariot, there were two four-horse carriages, one belonging to King Lu Zhu Yili and the other to King De Zhu Zaiyu. After the prince rode in the chariot, there were ten carriages. Feng Guo Gong Qi Jiguang, Yicheng Zhang Juzheng, Wang Chonggu, Liubu Shangshu and other Ming Gong Gong, as well as three Wu Xun's vehicles, which are Ying Gong Gong, Ding Guo Gong and Cheng Guo Gong. The court ministers and assistant ministers Wu Xun's vehicles followed His Majesty.
The Duke of Guizhou is in Yunnan, and the Duke of Wei is in Yingtianfu Dagongfang, neither of them in the capital.
Behind Wenwu, there is a long row of silver carts. The silver carts are carrying the starting silver and bonus silver distributed this time. The silver carts can be seen endlessly, with a total of more than 244,000. silver.
After the silver car is the copper car, which is pulling Wanli Tongbao. Dividend silver is affected by profits, and there are zeros and zeros. In order to send out the money within one day, you need to bring a large amount of Wanli Tongbao with you. , a total of 6.88 million Tongbao, there are more than 21,000 registered craftsmen, each craftsman can get 11 silver and 327 copper.
The huge ceremonial guard still does not end here. Behind the bronze chariot is the Ming Dynasty's cavalry camp, which is responsible for protecting the entire ceremonial guard. After the cavalry camp, there are all the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty.
This time the award was held at Xishan Coal Bureau. For this matter, the entire Shuntianfu Yamen did not take a break during the New Year and has been actively raising funds. Xishan Coal Bureau also started work two days in advance and conducted a factory-wide inspection During the general cleaning, the all-pervasive soot disappeared completely. Even the joints between the floor tiles were cleaned with pig bristle brushes.
The craftsmen have no objection to going to work early, no objection to cleaning, and no objection to harsh requirements, because after going to work early to clean, they can receive more than 11 silver rewards after cleaning!
The craftsmen's understanding of this silver was that it was a reward from the emperor. They were always in a state of confusion regarding the dividends given to them. They did not feel that they were the masters of the huge Xishan Coal Bureau.
Wang Chonggu sneered at the statement that the government factory was not motivated, and even personally refuted this fallacy in Di Bao.
There is only high pressure, only strict rules and regulations, and no reasonable distribution. Official factories have no enthusiasm, but private factories have enthusiasm? Is enthusiasm caused by the nature of official factories and private factories? Positivity must always be ensured by allocation! Instead of trying to make a big pie, the craftsmen are not fools. If you give them that little money, it will be really difficult to get things done.
With less than 10% of the profits of the official factory as dividends, the craftsmen are already grateful. If they really want to increase production capacity, they only need to increase the proportion of dividends to directly increase production capacity.
The distribution of the second volume of Zhang Juzheng’s class theory is still working hard. According to Zhang Juzheng’s vision, a healthy and reasonable official factory will be a healthy and reasonable official factory if the profits are distributed downwards by 30%. Once the proportion of craftsmen in the distribution is lower than Thirty percent is very dangerous.
The Ming Dynasty dividend silver is 10% of the profits, plus the daily labor remuneration, and the security mechanism established around the official factory craftsmen, that is, welfare. The welfare is not only rice, flour, grain and oil during the holidays, but also The third-level craftsmen's schools and women's weaving schools with official factories all require large amounts of silver investment, and these are real allocations.
After the addition of dividend silver to the distribution of profit by the Ming Dynasty official factory, the overall proportion of profit distribution among craftsmen exceeded 35%. In other words, before the dividend silver system, the proportion of profit distribution by the Ming Dynasty official factory was downward. The allocation was less than 30%, but there was still a strong enthusiasm. This was entirely because the previous owner of the kilnjingfang was so inhumane.
The treatment is often compared.
Zhu Yijun’s car finally came to a steady stop. Such a large formation can only be seen during suburban sacrifices, that is, when the emperor personally goes to the imperial mausoleum to worship his ancestors. Zhu Yijun travels on weekdays. , no more than three hundred people at most.
Zhu Yijun has never been to the suburban festival once. The high priests, Ying Gong, Cheng Guo Gong and Ding Guo Gong, did it for him. He was busy giving gifts to the imperial mausoleum. , are all gifts from Zhu Yijun to his ancestors. Although he has never been there, he thinks that the sages of the Ming Dynasty would be very satisfied.
The ceremony officially began. The order of the entire scene was maintained by the Beijing camp, and the viewing platform was set up in the grand auditorium of the official factory. The auditorium was built in the seventh year of Wanli and can accommodate 3,000 people. The auditorium is where the ceremony is held. , it is turned on to reward meritorious craftsmen on a daily basis. The place where craftsmen entertain is called a stage. In various workshops, there are also singing, storytelling and other things on weekdays.
The elite soldiers from the Beijing camp moved the silver to the square in front of the auditorium. This was the first step in the ritual process, which was to distribute the money.
This is the first step designated by the emperor. First give out the money and then force Lai Lai. The craftsmen received the money and put it in their pockets. Naturally, they all had smiles on their faces and were willing to listen to the chatter of the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette. Say a few words, otherwise who would care to listen to what you have to say?
There are only 20 places to distribute money in the square, and there are 180 places to distribute money in major government factories. The silver and copper coins are sealed and you only need to sign and stamp your fingerprints to receive them. To reward money.
The whole process is very fast. After the reward money is distributed and the Ministry of Revenue, the eunuchs and the Tiqimen report it, the craftsman representatives will enter the auditorium and start awarding the awards.
Zhu Yijun is the tool for awarding awards. Zhu Yijun does not need to say anything during the whole process. As long as he appears here, it is the greatest affirmation to the craftsmen.
"What are those Confucian students doing here?" Zhu Yijun looked at the Confucian students from Taixue and asked Wang Chonggu. They are not on the list of retinue, and because the Royal Institute of Technology has recently started recruiting students, Confucian students' monopoly on power was challenged as never before.
Only Zhu Yijun will be wary.
Wang Chonggu bowed his head and said: "I came here to watch the ceremony."
"There won't be any problem, right?" Zhu Yijun asked with a frown, if the Confucian students make trouble on this occasion He stood up to express his dissatisfaction with the improvement of the status of craftsmen. As the emperor, he could only ask his ancestors to come forward and use the Emperor's Favor Shattering Fist to tell these ambitious people how close the nine clans are. The Ming Dynasty has never ruled the world together with the scholar-bureaucrats. , the world of Ming Dynasty is the world of Lao Zhu’s family after all.
"No." Wang Chonggu said very confidently: "Your Majesty, we Confucian students in the Ming Dynasty are not indiscriminate. Since the news of water and fertilizer came out, even the voice of letting the government factories close down has disappeared. Farming is indeed "It's very important."
The consensus of the Ming Dynasty is that mulberry farming is the first of all industries. Farming and mulberry farming are the first, and then the sky. When it comes to farming, the output is determined by fertilizer. Wang Chonggu discussed and organized Tai students to come to watch the production of water and fertilizer. Faced with such unreasonable products as water and fertilizer, the humble Confucians also chose to shut up about the official factory. The coal bureau was absolutely bad and the coal smoke was billowing black. If there is ashes all over the ground, if it can produce water and fertilizer, it is a good factory.
The cheap Confucians can’t talk about the official factory or the Royal Institute of Technology’s mistakes. They can only talk about Wang Chonggu being a fool. He paid for the awards himself and used his own money to run his own business. Those people can’t wait to The sour smell that replaced it spread from the capital to Lisbon.
This is a good opportunity to stay in the history, how much money can be exchanged for it?
Zhu Yijun’s worries were completely unnecessary. Imperial students at this age are not familiar with worldly affairs and are easily provoked, but they are not all cheap Confucians. They did not go directly to the auditorium, but went to the water and fertilizer factory. One of them was holding on to the wall and vomiting. They didn't listen to the craftsman's advice and insisted on looking at the water and fertilizer. As soon as they opened it, they vomited directly.
The smell is really unbearable.
The water and fertilizer factory clearly proved that the substances previously proposed by the Royal Institute of Furniture are moving substances, because the unpleasant smell of water and fertilizer spreads throughout the factory, and the smell is terrible even if it is not opened.
Even so, when the students left the water and fertilizer factory, they were still excitedly discussing the impact of water and fertilizer!
Water fertilizer is actually distilling the organic ammonia in coal ore, then cooling it and dissolving it in water. It is easy to say, but it requires craftsmen to do it.
The increase in land production is beneficial to imperial students. In the eleventh year of Wanli, you can become a junior student of the Imperial College. Which family does not have thousands of acres of fertile land? How dare you say hello to others? Lin, the Lin of Canglin.
Being able to stay out of work for a long time, in order to gain fame, he studied in the Imperial College for several years. Every one of his family members were virtuous, gentry, powerful and right-wing people. Poor coolies and middle-class families could not enter the Imperial College.
With the emergence of water and fertilizer, everyone in the Ming Dynasty was a beneficiary.
The students gathered around Wei Youshan asking questions, especially when they heard that only coal gangue could be used for distillation, everyone looked excited. The coal and iron mines in Daming were generally of poor quality. High, you can get as much coal gangue as you need, and the production process is not very difficult. If you don’t want to invest so much, you can make the earthen kiln simpler and replace the metal pipes with ceramic pipes.
Development can really unite everyone.
The craftsman representatives began to enter. Wang Chonggu stood up straight, walked to the front of the stage, stretched out his hands to everyone, and the auditorium suddenly became quiet.
“Today, the water and fertilizer plant of Xishan Coal Bureau has officially started production on a small scale. It is expected to be able to provide water and fertilizer for 300,000 acres of land before spring plowing. If it is effective, it will be available to major government agencies in the second half of the year. Promote the factory and expand production." Wang Chonggu first told everyone that the Xishan Coal Bureau was not lying. This thing was not just talk on paper, nor was it a way to defraud the court of funds. It was already in small-scale mass production and could satisfy 300,000 acres of land.
“Last year, the coal and iron joint venture of Xishan Coal Bureau produced a total output of 650,000 kilograms of coal, briquettes, and coke, 2.74 million kilograms of crude steel, and 24 million kilograms of iron. Last year, the output of crude steel increased by 670,000 jins, and that of iron by 4.6 million jins. The official woolen factory weaved 630,000 pieces of woolen wool and 94,000 pieces of worsted wool, an increase of 180,000 pieces compared with last year. 19,000 horses. "Such a result depends on the diligence of the craftsmen."
The total steel production is 26.74 million kilograms, which is really not much, just over 13,000 tons in total. , the amount of iron produced next year will be about 150,000 tons, and the output of 13,000 tons will not even reach one-tenth.
In the seventh year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, there were 13 iron smelting institutes and 13 iron smelting stations. Each station had an ambassador with a rank of eight and a deputy envoy with a rank of nine. In the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang came down The decree ordered that all iron smelting be discontinued and replaced by iron science. Two out of every thirty points in the yearly training course would be taken, which is now the widely used method of drawing six out of 100 points.
In the early years of Yongle, Zhu Di ordered the restoration of official factories and iron smelting, reestablished iron official factories, and added Sichuan Longzhou Iron and Steel Smelting and Shuntian Zunhua Iron and Steel Smelting, a total of fifteen official factories.
When the capital was moved in the 19th year of Yongle, the total of Tieke and Guanye was 19.57 million kilograms.
After that came the vigorous promotion of civil and military affairs. The iron smelting department was dismissed in the first year of Hongxi, and the people were ordered to mine and refine it themselves. From then on, the Ming Dynasty only had 2 out of 30 and 6 out of 100 iron branches. Iron smelting institute, iron official and coal and iron official factory.
Since Wang Chonggu was planning to build the Yongding Woolen Official Factory, he gathered the reputation of being a sycophant, and it never left him.
The output of pig iron in the Ming Dynasty is about 150,000 tons. According to the standard of 30 taxes and 2, the Ming court can collect about 10,000 tons of iron every year. If there are 10,000 tons of iron every year, I will Dahan was beaten to death just by being smashed, so it was his turn to show off his violence?
Since Tieke was ordered to be mined by the people, it has existed in name only, existing only in the law and never actually collected. This is related to Wang Yundao being exiled overseas during the Hongwu period.
In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Wang Yundao, an official of the Guangping Prefecture, wrote that Cizhou Linshui Town produced iron, and the iron science in Yuan Dynasty amounted to one million kilograms. It was determined that there was no shortage of military supplies and people's livelihood was determined. If the situation was restored, Wang Yundao was defined as disturbing the people and rebelling against the official, and was exiled overseas.
From then on, Tieke has been a rule. It has never been collected. If there is a tax and it is not collected, it is regarded as a favor from the court. As long as an official mentions the word Tieke, he will first gather sycophants. Put the big hat on, and then carry out the ancestral law. This is the old practice of Hongwu for fifteen years. Who dares to mention this easily? Faced with the laws established by our ancestors, we can only sigh and feel helpless.
In the 32nd year of Jiajing, the Ministry of Industry reported to the emperor that the iron smelters had been settled in various places for a long time, and the iron department was not recruited. Today, the iron storage in the internal and external treasury is limited, and the military supplies are in short supply. The Ministry of Works, in a very sad tone, begged the emperor to bear the blame. If the furnace was turned on for one year, and if it didn't start again, the iron would really be useless.
It is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. There was no iron in the Ming Dynasty. How did the Ministry of Industry build it? The war is fierce and dangerous. How can we deal with the enemy without armor, long and short soldiers, and clusters of iron arrows?
But the end result is still nothing.
Even if the 13,000 tons of Xishan Coal Bureau are all steel, it is about the output of Baosteel Group in one hour after energy conservation and emission reduction.
Besides, most of these 13,000 tons are pig iron, but in the eleventh year of Wanli, it still ranked first in the world! The second place in steel production is Songjiang Guanye Institute, the third place is Shengzhou Guanchang, and the fourth place is Henan Iron and Steel Institute.
Da Ming is changing the production relations of Daming through the coal and steel joint venture, and using the coal and steel joint venture as the core production capacity to drive the transformation of Daming from a small farmer economy to a commodity economy.
Wang Chonggu said with some emotion: "This is the ninth year of the Xishan Coal Bureau. In these nine years, the output of coal, iron and steel has been rising steadily. There are 3,400 private blacksmith shops surrounding the Xishan Coal Bureau. , they took iron from the Xishan Coal Bureau and made it into various iron tools. "
"The glory belongs to all the craftsmen for achieving such results!"
Let the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Works, and the Municipal Shipping Department. One phenomenon that is incomprehensible is that the Ming Dynasty iron pot can actually become a flagship product overseas. One silver per pot, and the iron pot can make money faster than robbing money. This is unexpected. The key is that the iron pot is in demand. The quantity is still very large, and there is a strong demand in both the Mughal and Western countries.
Originally, everyone’s attention was focused on traditional overseas goods such as silk, raw silk, porcelain, tea, cotton cloth, and iron pots. However, the profit of iron pots is only lower than that of silk and cotton, exceeding bought porcelain and tea.
Kedao Yanguan has always used coal smoke as the starting point to demand a ceasefire. Some time ago, he asked for a ceasefire due to underground water intrusion. However, the industry is rich in craftsmen and is not empty talk. The Ming Xishan Coal Bureau collapsed. How can these 3,400 blacksmith shops established by the Xishan Coal Bureau make a living?
He just opens his mouth without caring about the livelihood of the common people. This is the direct reason why the Ministry of Industry has not responded. It is because there are really many craftsmen. At most, we can build some absorption towers to absorb the soot and stop production. It is impossible to stop production. If production is stopped, these unemployed people will become refugees. Who will resettle them?
Not to mention the industrial chain surrounding the Xishan Coal Bureau, there are the 21,000 live craftsmen of the Xishan Coal Bureau. They are strong, disciplined, and obey orders. They are the best candidates for the military. The unemployed craftsmen, All it takes is someone to instigate, and this is the elite of 21,000 people, the core of the rebellion.
Wang Chonggu said with great excitement: "Many achievements have been made in the past nine years, and a large number of skilled craftsmen have emerged. Today, Wei's landscape fertilizer method is the result of orderly government and factories. We solemnly have Invite Wei Youshan. "
Wei Youshan walked up to the stage. He freshened himself up. He was an ordinary middle-aged man, simple and honest, and he walked up to Wang Chonggu.
“Tell me a few words.” Wang Chonggu said with a smile.
Wei Youshan looked at everyone. He was a little dazed. The clerk in the factory wrote him the same set of words before, about how to rule the world without leaving any virtuous people, and if you don’t know that there is no profit left in the world, and the benefits do not lie in the officialdom. In Wan Min's words, Wei Youshan swore that he could recite them all by heart, but as soon as he got on stage, his mind was buzzing and he forgot all about them.
It is better to ask him when to pull the cart with water and fertilizer, when to add coal, and how to look at the wind holes and fire holes. He is familiar with this, it is like instinct. Every time the furnace is turned on, the big craftsmen have to stare at it. , to prevent the oven from frying.
Wei Youshan held it in for a long time, until his face turned red, and then he said loudly: "Eat and drink well, everyone."
The auditorium burst into laughter, what Wei Youshan said , everyone was confused. In fact, it was noon after the ceremony, so after the awards were given, there was a big banquet, which was added in the factory cafeteria. There was no work in the afternoon, so the emperor gave a special gift of twelve thousand Bottles are supplied by Guojiao.
That’s why Wei Youshan said, eat well and drink well.
Zhu Yijun was sitting on the viewing platform on the second floor and also laughed. Wang Yaozhuo shook his head repeatedly. In fact, most of the craftsmen in the Ming Dynasty were like this. They were not very good at talking. They were a little at a loss when faced with such an occasion. She My husband was very kind to the poor, coolies, and traders, and he never had a bad look on his face. However, every time the craftsman came to see him, he would not dare to breathe.
Wang Chonggu laughed on the stage and said, "Okay, it's okay to eat and drink well. Then please ask Yuan Fu to present you with the award."
Zhang Juzheng stood from the viewing platform on the second floor. He got up, came to the emperor, and asked for the first-class technological progress award medal. Then he slowly went downstairs, handed the merit medal to Wei Youshan and said: "Today, tomorrow, the glory belongs to the Ming craftsmen!"
Zhang Juzheng also has a set of words, which he had already found someone to write. But Wei Youshan is today’s protagonist. He did not thank this or that. He only said "eat well, drink well". Zhang Juzheng did not use his set of words either. He took it out, but simply repeated Wang Chonggu’s words, the glory belongs to the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty.
Water and fertilizer help the people live a long and healthy life, and summon harmonious energy to the sky. From all directions, from the sky to the ends of the earth, we can all enjoy the blessings of the Holy Spirit.
The ceremony seemed a bit anticlimactic, but Wei Youshan was not blamed for forgetting his words. He had great merits, and as long as he did not scold the emperor while standing on the stage, he would not be blamed.
Zhu Yijun has always believed that violence is gunpowder, steel, silver coins, theories and human hearts.
"Sir, how does it feel to see Wang Cifu in such a beautiful scene?" Zhu Yijun asked, looking at Zhang Juzheng who had returned to the viewing platform.
Zhang Juzheng thought for a moment and shook his head and said, "He deserves it."
"But all this is because of sir. If he hadn't insisted on enriching the country and strengthening the army, he wouldn't be here today. That's it." Zhu Yijun still affirmed Zhang Juzheng's contribution. Without the restoration of administrative power, Wang Chonggu was still the local emperor in Xuanda. He could not do any of the engineering corps and government factories.
Bureaucracy is an extremely sharp double-edged sword without a handle. If used well, it will be harmful to all sides. If used improperly, it will hurt others and yourself.
"I just did something that I should do. Someone has to do it, right?" Zhang Juzheng is not arrogant. In the early years of Wanli, it was really difficult, but now everything has become easier.
Zhu Yijun asked curiously: "Sir, has the third volume of Class Theory not been written yet?"
"Your Majesty, there is no third volume." Zhang Juzheng said with great conviction: " Just two volumes, no more."
"Oh, okay." Zhu Yijun nodded and did not debate the scriptures with Zhang Juzheng. He was not in a hurry. The second volume is completely sufficient now. Instead, he said The Confucian students did not cause trouble, but were extremely excited, and were thankful for the appearance of water and fertilizer.
Zhang Juzheng also said with deep emotion: "Your Majesty, in fact, when the world is tired, corrupt officials can't even get a few dollars, and they are all very poor. Where can the money come from to be corrupt? Yan Song, Yan Shifan and his son, the world's It is said that the Yan family is as rich as the enemy, but in fact it is not much. One is to resist the invaders, and the other is to quell the Japanese. These are places where money is spent like water."
"The same goes for being powerful and right-wing. They are greedy by nature, and they also hope for stability and peace."
Zhu Yijun looked at the crowd and asked: "The construction of the Ten Kings City has been completed. I will issue an edict to move the vassal kings of Henan to Beijing tomorrow, sir. Do you think there will be a big disaster caused by the feudal lord's rebellion?"
"It will be settled if there is a disturbance." Zhang Juzheng said calmly.
