Chapter 592 Elite soldiers can bring peace to the country, and clever weapons can benefit the people
Hydraulic pressure uses a longer stroke to exchange for greater force. Isn’t this as simple as the lever principle?
Hydraulic pressure and levers are essentially basic mechanical principles. Therefore, hydraulic pressure has as great an impact as levers. It exists as a basic mechanical principle and is one of the cornerstones of Daming Engineering.
The Technological Progress Award of Wanli Ten Years in the Ming Dynasty was awarded to Wei Youshan, the inventor and manufacturer of water fertilizer in Xishan Coal Bureau. Water fertilizer does still have defects of one kind or another. Even in terms of increasing production, it is because the plants are too Tall and weak in resistance to lodging, it has reduced yields, but water and fertilizer are still a product of eternal blessing.
The Technological Progress Award in the 11th year of Wanli was awarded to Huang Zifu, a doctor of the Five Classics of the Royal Academy of Sciences.
The entire discovery of hydraulic technology, including its implementation and application, was promoted by Huang Zifu, who was recommended by Da Sima Tan Lun.
The Doctors of the Five Classics finally breathed a sigh of relief. This year they have endured huge pressure from public opinion. In the eyes of the humble scholars of the Ming Dynasty, the Doctors of the Five Classics, as the emperor's special staff, actually competed for the Technology Progress Award. It was a great shame and humiliation to lose to a craftsman from Xishan Coal Bureau!
The doctors of the Five Classics want to explain that in the process of rapid technological development, the principles of many mechanical devices and inventions have been widely used before people were still unclear about them, and they are constantly being used in practice To summarize the rules, constantly understand the complex rules behind the phenomena and conduct complete theoretical analysis, in the hope that the results of technological progress can be maximized.
This is the mission of Doctors of the Five Classics and the Imperial Academy of Sciences.
There are countless such examples. Ming Dynasty also had only a little understanding of the fact that hard sails can withstand winds from all directions. If the principle of hard sails with winds from all directions can be fully understood, then Ming Dynasty's steam turbines will advance by leaps and bounds.
But the cheap Confucians don’t care about the difference between practice and theoretical research. They only think that it is a shame that Gewuyuan lost the competition for the Technology Progress Award, and they have eaten so many years of imperial food in vain!
This year, the Technology Progress Award finally went to the Royal Academy of Sciences, which finally silenced this kind of doubt.
Zhu Yijun, the Ming emperor, was still very busy after the Chinese New Year. He finally arrived at the main gate of the Royal Gewüyuan by car. At the invitation of Wan Shihe and Shen Li, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites, the Ming emperor stepped by step. After stepping off the jade chariot, wearing twelve crowns and twelve emperor's uniforms, they all dressed up to attend this grand ceremony.
Only on extremely important occasions, such as when offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple or to the imperial mausoleum in the suburbs, the emperor would wear his outfit. This represents respect and respect for the changes brought about by technological progress in the Ming Dynasty.
The flags were fluttering, the horns and drums were playing melodiously, and the music households of Taichang Temple were beating the bells solemnly.
Zhu Yijun walked into the Royal Academy of Wushu amidst shouts of long live. He walked to the viewing platform set up outside the Sutra Collection Building and started the second Chonggu Award Ceremony.
When this award is called the Chonggu Award by most people, Wang Chonggu, the leader of the Labor Party, truly deserves it.
Zhu Yijun has no dissatisfaction with the current Wang Chonggu. Wang Chonggu deserves to be the leader of the Labor Party.
As the second assistant of the Ming Dynasty and the Minister of Justice, Wang Chonggu first submitted a congratulatory form. After Zhu Yijun reviewed it, he handed it to Feng Bao. Feng Bao circulated it to the Minister of Rites, and Shen Li, the Minister of Rites, came to the stage to deliver a speech.
"Mozi said: I have heaven's will, just like a wheelwright has his own rules, a craftsman has his own rules, and the wheelwright follows his rules to make the world a perfect place." Shen Li said When he said the first sentence, the courtiers below immediately became on pins and needles.
The introductions on such important occasions usually start with Confucian classics, but this time, Mozi was quoted, which made the courtiers watching the ceremony very dissatisfied. But when they saw the ceremonial officials holding embroidered The spring knife, coupled with the fact that the Ming Emperor sitting on the platform had seen it, naturally represented the emperor's will.
The humble scholar still couldn't muster up the courage and made a scene.
Is it wrong to be a coward? Make a scene, His Majesty really knows how to kill people.
The reason why Wang Chonggu quoted Mozi was to cooperate with the emperor's decree to revise the "Compilation of Zhuzi".
The Mohist theory of heaven’s will and the Confucian theory of the unity of heaven and man, the theory of destiny, are two completely contradictory paths. Heaven’s will is not a theory of ghosts and gods. Wan Shihe combines heaven’s will with the Taoist road. It is believed that the explanation of this sentence is: all things are born, and all things operate according to certain rules, and this will of heaven is the infinite principle of all things.
The Confucian theory of destiny closely links the nihilistic destiny and the succession of the throne. For example, the guest star who appeared in the supernova explosion at the end of the sixth year of Longqing and Zhang Juzheng became the only remaining minister Gu Ming. One is connected together; Confucianism links the appearance of the great comet in the fifth year of Wanli with Zhang Juzheng and Ding You.
The Mohist theory of heaven’s will attributes the will of heaven to a law of operation, which has no deep connection with the rotation of emperors in the world.
“Since Yuan Fu wrote about the theory of contradictions, Wanli’s Great Thoughts began to discuss the impact of production. His Majesty ordered the Royal Institute of Objects to be built to study the principles of all things to gain knowledge. Time flies, and it is still today. , blossomed, and the doctors of the Five Classics worked hard for several years to repay the kindness of the emperor."
"Since the completion of the first one-horsepower steam engine in the seventh year of Wanli, continuous improvements have been made to this day. With the test run of the 32-horsepower steam engine, the iron horses galloping on the road and the roaring steam engines in the official factories are all the results, and behind them are the sweat of Dr. Wu Jing."
"Zhongyuan Jiukong. Money shortage, the money method has been implemented in the past dynasties, but it cannot be done. Today, the money method is still used, printing silver coins, and the production capacity is insufficient, but it has become a roadblock and stumbling block. Since the opening of the sea, silver has flowed in quickly, but because of the inconvenience of circulation, the barrier has Among the money in the city, the emergence of hydraulic pressure will finally bring the output of Ming Dynasty's printed silver coins to a higher level."
"After the recommendation of His Highness King De, it was reported to the Ministry of Industry and the Five Classics Doctors were reviewed and selected. The final review of the Technical Progress Award was reported to the Cabinet. The nine ministers discussed it and His Majesty Zhu approved it. Huang Zifu, a Doctor of the Five Classics, was awarded first-class merit. Merit card.”
It was indeed designated by Zhu Yijun, because the merit medal made of sixteen taels of pure gold is still in Zhu Yijun’s hand. This award was awarded by Zhu Yijun himself.
Zhu Yijun stood up, walked to Huang Zifu, and said with a smile: "Dr. Huang, thank you for your hard work."
Huang Zifu shook his sleeves, bowed five times and kowtowed three times.
Zhu Yijun looked unhappy, even if he knelt down, it was still a big gift. How does the Ministry of Etiquette do things? There was no big gift last year, and there was no kneeling down to accept this process.
Shen Li of the Ministry of Rites saw His Majesty's displeasure immediately and almost jumped up from his chair. His Majesty actually didn't like the meritorious ministers to perform such a grand ceremony. Shen Li knew this habit very well. Wei Youshan also did it last time. Only half a salute is allowed, which is to bow. This is also part of His Majesty's courtesy to the virtuous corporal, in order to win people's hearts.
If you serve the country and ask for orders for the people, you will gain special respect and favor from His Majesty.
Zhu Zaiyu’s face became even uglier. He knew what Huang Zifu was going to say next, because Huang Zifu had been unwilling to accept this award since the review.
Huang Zifu bowed his head and said loudly: "I dare not covet the merits of heaven, I am afraid."
"I have already received the emperor's salary, and I have no worries about food and clothing. Now that I have received the emperor's salary, I dare not covet the merits. Lu, the art of hydraulic pressure is accomplished jointly by colleagues and comrades. I am the only one to master this feat. I am afraid that both humans and gods will abandon it. I sincerely ask your majesty to still show your grace and grant me the blessing of Gokuwuyuan.”
"Without His Majesty's order to build the Gewuyuan, there is no Gewuyuan. I am just...just a street juggler. With a little whimsy, I am lucky to be able to get Tan Sima Gao to take a look."
"Ah?" Zhu Yijun was extremely surprised. After listening to Huang Zifu's complete statement, he was stunned for a moment and said with great emotion: "Aiqing is flat, flat, just stand up and speak. If everyone in the Ming Dynasty thinks like Huang Aiqing, I will I can feel very relaxed.”
Zhu Yijun looked at everyone’s faces and knew what was happening.
Huang Zifu was recommended by Tan Lun to join the court as a doctor of the Five Classics. He was best at mechanics. He felt that he should not receive this award alone. The credit was jointly established by the Institute of Geosciences. He should be given the big credit today. After receiving it, he felt guilty holding it.
Zhu Yijun knew Huang Zifu’s personal opinion. Yesterday he also talked about this matter with Zhu Zaiyu. Huang Zifu’s idea was that, just like the reward after the invention of the steam engine, the honor belongs to the collective of Gewuyuan. , rather than his own.
"Take it." Zhu Yijun took Huang Zifu's arm, put a pound of first-class merit reward plaque into Huang Zifu's hand, and then said with a smile: "You deserve this reward, love." You have a clear conscience."
"Huang Aiqing, how can you take it if you don't make progress?"
"Of course the credit and honor belong to Gewuyuan. It also belongs to you personally, there is no contradiction or conflict, just peace of mind.”
“When others see your extra courtesy and your reward, they will naturally follow your example.”
"I thank your Majesty for your kindness..." Huang Zifu hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the first-class merit medal, his face still a little complicated.
He is a folk juggler who plays tricks on tea-serving boys. He has some research on the art of dexterity. If he had not gone to Gwuyuan and systematically learned the art of Gwu, would he have achieved what he has today? Absolutely impossible.
This is a first-class merit medal and an extraordinary merit medal. This thing is only one piece in the Gokuyuan.
Advanced individuals and advanced collectives. Advanced collectives are composed of advanced individuals. Blindly eating from the big pot is harmful to enthusiasm. This in itself is a process of mutual benefit, mutual promotion and mutual achievement. , Huang Zifu simply understood this relationship as kindness.
"My dear, just work harder and develop more skills." Zhu Yijun did not explain more clearly, but only encouraged him to continue to make more contributions.
"I obey the decree! I have benefited the world by chance, which is really a blessing." Huang Zifu became excited when he heard his majesty made further requests.
Elite soldiers can bring peace to the country, and skillful weapons can benefit the people. These are probably the two sentences that have been confirmed since the establishment of the Imperial Palace.
“Sometimes, the less there is, the more emphasis will be placed on something.” Zhu Yijun looked at the Ming Dynasty officials who were watching the ceremony, waved his sleeves and returned to the viewing platform.
Confucian scholars emphasize morality, and self-cultivation is the cultivation of virtue. Huang Zi regained his virtue and knew how to repay his kindness. When such a huge reward fell on his head, he was still unfazed and kept running around, hoping to be awarded the Doctor of the Five Classics of the Royal Academy of Gewu. This collective, Panchatantra doctors need more affirmation.
But when Confucian scholars were discussing merit and giving rewards, they were vying for credit. The county bookkeeper of Daxing County even made a joke about "announcement of good news".
How much grain can be harvested from one acre of land, can Zhu Yijun still not count it?
Only the Merit Medals are awarded by the emperor himself. The Technological Progress Award is also divided into five categories. There are two places for the second level, four for the third level, eight for the fourth level, and sixteen places for the fifth level. For example, copper-clad wood shipbuilding His technology won the second-class merit medal, and Baoqisi's grass breeding also won the second-class medal.
It’s just that Zhu Yijun led the Baoqi Division on his behalf. Xu Zhenming, the director of the Baoqi Division in the Ming Dynasty, was in Hetao. He practiced improving the planting of pasture and summed up his experience. He could only accept the award. Sorry for the absence, please ask Your Majesty to accept it on your behalf.
The reward lasted for a full hour before it ended. Zhu Yijun did not return to the palace. Instead, he drove a jade chariot and led the ministers to the Xishan Coal Bureau. It was time for annual distribution to each person. On the day when craftsmen receive dividends, this itinerary is very simple. Zhu Yijun never makes long speeches, he just waves his hand and says: Pay money!
Real money and silver are sometimes far more important than drawing a pie.
The enthusiasm of the Xishan Coal Bureau, woolen official factories, and shipyards are all made with real money. There is no mechanism for downward distribution. The official factories, the engineering regiments, and the engineering regiments will really know how to do it. As Lin Fucheng said, it will inevitably fail, even fail quickly.
The scene was in order, and everyone was distributing it in each factory workshop. Tiqi, Dongchang Fanzi, and the Ministry of Household Ambassadors were personally watching. In addition, afterward, the Tiqi people would be present at the official meeting. Factory visits can basically ensure that the distribution is in place.
"We will have dinner in the official factory today. Zhang Daban will go to the cafeteria to prepare some food." Zhu Yijun sat on the big chair where Wang Chonggu usually sat, flipping through the accounts on the table. This is this year's production plan. .
According to Wang Chonggu's plan, if the woolen material can grow at the same rate as last year, from 120,000 bags to 140,000 bags, then 1.2 million pieces of woolen cloth will be produced this year.
This will greatly facilitate the development of Ming Dynasty in Liaodong. Woolen cloaks were the flagship product of the Daming Woolen Factory, and most of them were sent to Liaodong, mainly for development.
Hypothermia is a very dangerous thing. For example, in weather with huge temperature differences like early and late summer, a heavy rain in the mountains causes the temperature to drop sharply. People wearing thin clothing may die directly from hypothermia. This can be roughly understood as being killed by hypothermia. Frozen to death.
The woolen cloak is a powerful tool to ensure that you will not lose temperature. A large cloak weighs six or seven pounds and is warmer than a quilt.
"Your Majesty, no." Zhang Hong rejected His Majesty's request. He bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I will bring the chef and cook by myself."
"It's really..." Zhu Yijun waved his hand impatiently and said: "Do it yourself, do it yourself, I listen to you."
Zhang Hong made a large bowl of herbal tea and light cakes for the emperor. When the Beijing camp went on an expedition, His Majesty made it every day Everyone will get a light cake of the same style as the soldiers. It's not that Zhang Hong won't let His Majesty and the craftsmen eat the same, but this is Wang Chonggu's territory, so he needs to be careful.
"Why is there so much noise outside the door?" Zhu Yijun frowned and looked at Feng Bao and asked.
Feng Bao quickly asked Xiao Huangmen to go out to check. Xiao Huangmen hurried away and hurried back, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, there are kiln residents who want to file a complaint!"
"Who is it? ? Sue who? Go to court!" Zhu Yijun went to court immediately without even bothering to eat.
Sue a petition! What a strange thing, it can be encountered in Xishan Coal Bureau. It is better to come early than to come by chance!
“Kiln man Song Rendong is suing Wang Cifu and Wang Chonggu for taking human life!” Xiao Huangmen glanced at Wang Chonggu with a complex expression, bowed his head and said, “He is indeed a kiln man, his face is tired, and his hands and feet are calloused.”
You can tell at a glance that the kiln dwellers are real kiln dwellers. Because they have worked underground for a long time, the cracks on their fingers and calluses are all black. They are not just ordinary people who can pretend to be fake.
"Huh? Wang Cifu is not interested in human life?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu in confusion.
Wang Chonggu said with a helpless look: "I did not disregard human life, and this is not the first time he has sued me. He went to Shuntian Mansion Yamen to sue me three times. It was Shen Yiguan before, and now Wang Xiyuan, this Zhejiang Party, a direct descendant of the Chu Party, if this is true, it is impossible not to cause trouble."
"Oh."
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said: "Yes, if it is true. How could this kiln man have the opportunity to complain to the Yamen of Shuntian Prefecture when Wang Cifu was so concerned about human life? He had died in the wilderness long ago."
Wang Chonggu was a rebel, Cifu, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ming Dynasty. The power of the monopoly class is right-wing. To put it bluntly, Wang Chonggu really wants to take human life lightly. This kiln farmer died in the wilderness a long time ago. How could he cause such trouble.
"Your Majesty, I am afraid that the false accusation does not apply to him. He is also a poor person." Wang Chonggu said with emotion: "The reason why I still let him be in the official factory is because he is a victim. Similarly, I am also fishing for fame. When people get older, they care about their own reputation."
Wang Chonggu did not deny that he really wanted to do something and would not leave such an obvious tail.
Wang Chonggu explained the reason why he interceded for Song Rendong. After false accusations, Wang Chonggu did not take human life lightly. Song Rendong would have to shed his skin even if he did not die, or at least be exiled to the border area. He was just trying to gain fame and reputation to show that he was a serious crime. Be generous and don't care about little people.
"What's the matter?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.
Wang Chonggu sighed and said: "Song Rendong, I know his situation. In the second year of Wanli, I destroyed all the kilns in Xishan and established the Xishan Coal Bureau. His father, Song Dajing, was a kiln worker working in the mine. At that time, Mining is very dangerous. His father died in a mining accident, leaving behind an orphan and widowed mother."
"The pension given to Song Dajing from the mine was all in the hands of this widowed mother. Unexpectedly, this happened. There are people in the village who want to exterminate their families, and the person leading the charge is Song Rendong’s uncle. His widowed mother left with her pension and married someone else. The uncle took away the remaining family property, including one house and seven cents of the land. "
"My father is dead and my mother is married, and my uncle is ruthless and unrighteous."
"Song Rendong became an orphan. He was alone. He couldn't beg in the village, so he went to the mine to beg. At that time, he was only seven years old. Years old. "
"Later, the mine learned about this situation and sent him to school. He ate some scraps in the cafeteria and survived. "
Wang Chonggu introduced. In the case of Song Rendong, this child has a hard life, not an ordinary one. His father died in the mines, and he was in a government factory, so he has a pension. Although it is not much, he can still live. But his uncle will be destitute and orphaned. The mother couldn't fight, so she threw the child away and left.
This is also the reason why the courtiers opposed the abolition of the chastity arch. Sometimes the chastity arch was erected not entirely for persecution, but for the children to survive.
Song Rendong’s uncle wanted to live in poverty. Song Rendong could not even get food from hundreds of families in the village, so he had to starve to death.
This kind of thing is very common these days.
After finally growing up, Song Rendong also became a kiln worker. He worked diligently and received dividends every year, which made life even better.
"In September last year, I heard about a case that had to be decided. There was an old madam and several prostitutes who pretended to be good people and joined the Yongding Woolen Factory. Then, as Zhinang, they went around everywhere on the pretext of marriage. A case of defrauding money." Wang Chonggu finished talking about Song Rendong's miserable first half of his life and talked about the specific causes and consequences.
Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "I remember that it is exactly the same as the case of Xi's daughter in the east of the city."
The case of Xi's daughter was investigated and visited by Wang Menglin, the son of Wang Zhigao, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice. The defense is clear. Wang Menglin, who failed to pass the exam in the eighth year of Wanli, passed the Jinshi exam in the eleventh year of Wanli. He worked as an errand in the Ministry of Punishment two years ago, and went to a local government to serve as an official in the next year. (Chapter 250)
Wang Chonggu then said: "This Song Rendong is also a victim. He was defrauded of twenty-four silver. That was his wife's capital saved by working hard in the mine for three years. This Ministry of Punishment He arrested people, sentenced them, tracked down the stolen money, and returned it to Song Rendong and other deceived people. Song Rendong was a bit indifferent to right and wrong. He always felt that the minister was taking human life lightly and told everyone, but the minister was helpless. "
"That's it." Zhu Yijun did not believe one side of the story, but went up to the court and announced to Song Rendong.
First of all, it was confirmed that Song Rendong was indeed a kiln worker, not the sword used by cheap Confucians to deal with Wang Chonggu, because he was indeed a poor coolie.
"Liniang has been a good person, how could she cheat someone into marrying her! Wang Cifu didn't make a clear decision, and just killed the whole person, which is a waste of human life! The common people sued Wang Cifu, and the case was unjust, false, and wrong!" Song Rendong knelt on the ground and said loudly .
Zhu Yijun's vision went dark. He originally thought that there was something else that he didn't know about this case, but when Song Rendong opened his mouth, Zhu Yijun was extremely helpless. Song Rendong obviously knew that the so-called Liniang was a prostitute!
Zhu Yijun patiently began to ask, Song Rendong kept saying how good Liniang was, how gentle and kind, how considerate, how could she be a bad person?
As long as Song Rendong’s subjective descriptions are removed, the facts of the case are exactly the same as what Wang Chonggu stated. To put it nicely, Song Rendong had deep feelings and could not extricate himself. At worst, he was so stupid that he was fooled and was deceived. , still unrepentant, if Shuntian Mansion hadn't handled the case and recovered the money, this guy would have lost both his life and wealth.
Up to now, Na Liniang had been beheaded by Qiu Houwen, and Song Rendong even went to the emperor to complain about this matter.
Wang Chonggu was very emotionally stable. He let Song Rendong go and sued him in the capital hall just to gain fame. Posthumous fame was his pursuit. Song Rendong said these words to people no matter how many times he said them. I don’t know how many people tried to persuade him, but he just didn’t understand that a bitch is heartless and an actor is unrighteous.
"Song Rendong! Look at the man in front of you. When you couldn't even ask for food in the village, he had people take you in, give you food, clothing, shelter, and school for you. You can still work in the mines even if you are not good at reading. If you think about your Li Niang, will she stop paying attention to you when you have no money?" Zhu Yijun slapped the table and said angrily. .
“Can’t you understand the importance of a thing that is ridden by thousands of people and can spread its legs when given money? Do you know how much your behavior hurts Wang Cifu’s heart? I raised you After so many years, he has raised such a heartless thing!”
The prostitutes of the Ming Dynasty also vary according to their circumstances. Some are forced, which is the majority, and some are willing to fall for money and the dream of life and death in the world of fireworks.
This Liniang is a liar. She even cheated a laboring craftsman into a marriage!
Zhu Yijun does not discriminate against prostitutes who are oppressed and forced to sell themselves, such as Liu Qiniang, who can be the Weaver Mother every year. However, Zhu Yijun is very, very discriminatory towards such people who are willing to degenerate and even cheat into marriage.
This Liniang is a liar. She deceived twenty-four people and made more than five hundred taels of silver.
The emperor had read the dossier at the beginning. To be cautious, Zhu Yijun asked Zhao Mengyou to send Tiqi and took the dossier and reviewed it carefully. Song Rendong did not provide any more information. Condition.
"Liniang is different." Song Rendong said loudly.
"It's different! Who treats you well and treats you badly, can you wake up? Did this bitch give you the ecstasy soup? Huh?!" Zhu Yijun wanted to pick up the inkstone on the table and smash it on this guy's head. .
He saw in Song Rendong a kind of false kindness and clear stupidity cultivated in the greenhouse. He was willing to believe that good things happened in this world, because good things had happened to him. .
"Step back, step back, take one more look, and I'll want to beat you up." Zhu Yijun was so angry that he stamped his feet and waved his hand to tell Song Rendong to get out.
"Wang Cifu, don't worry about this matter, I will solve it. Feng Bao, you are like this, like this, like this, I still don't believe you can't cure him!" Zhu Yijun angrily turned left three times, then turned right Three laps.
If Wang Chonggu hadn't interceded in advance, this idiot would have been exiled to the border by Zhu Yijun.
After hearing the emperor's method, Wang Chonggu suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the emperor blankly. He asked blankly: "Your Majesty, is this trick also taught by Yuan Fu?"
What did Zhang Juzheng teach the emperor these years? Did Zhang Juzheng also teach this trick?
"No, sir, you don't teach these things." Zhu Yijun explained to Zhang Juzheng that this was really not what Zhang Juzheng taught. The emperor thought for a while and said, "This is the self-cultivation of scholars."
A scholar has a bad heart.
Zhu Yijun asked Feng Bao to do two things. One was to let Song Rendong accidentally pick up a sum of money. The second was to let a craftsman who likes visiting brothels take Song Rendong to visit brothels to see what the world is like. When there is money, greet each other with a smile; when there is no money, treat each other with a cold face.
After experiencing it once, Song Rendong naturally knew that Liniang in his heart only lived in his heart.
Early the next morning, Feng Bao, who had been waiting for a long time, reported the progress of the matter.
"Then Song Rendong handed the one hundred taels of silver he picked up to the judicial department of the official factory. The first thing was not done, but the second thing was done. Yesterday he was arrested by the old man from the official factory. I took him to a brothel to have fun," Feng Bao said somewhat unexpectedly.
"Sent to the judicial department? Is it worth picking up the money?" Zhu Yijun didn't expect that the first thing would fail.
That’s a full one hundred taels of silver!
