On a snowy day, Zhu Yijun went to the construction site of the pagoda to see the excitement. The Ming Dynasty's Ke Dao Yan Guan and pen Zheng were ramming soil in the soil in the heavy snow. Fortunately, it was almost completed, otherwise this Chinese New Year would have been a waste. Unfavorable.

Zhu Yijun noticed one thing, that is, even if he is a Ke Dao Yan Guan, this clear stream still lives a luxurious life, with a bunch of servants. The emperor has made it clear that the Ke Dao Yan Guan will work. These traveling people The servants can only wait outside.

More than forty officials and more than one hundred and thirty servants were waiting outside. The scene was extremely spectacular.

"A Ke Dao Yan Guan at least has a chariot, a chariot and a groom waiting outside. There is also a servant holding a soup bag. I am afraid that my father will be cold and tired. This is not all. There is also a charioteer in the car. Concubine, I’m waiting to warm the hands of our scholar-bureaucrats. If I hadn’t come here today to take a look, I wouldn’t have seen this scene. The lives of the scholar-bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty were really extravagant.” Zhu Yijun stood at the construction site of the Dalongxing Temple pagoda. Outside, 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 ministers, courtiers, and courtiers. He also wanted the young emperor to move around more and not stay in Jiuzhong 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 really saw the scene of working. The ministers who had no power to tie the chicken really didn't know how to do it. They were almost exhausted from working.

Zhang Juzheng breathed out and said helplessly: "If you leave the capital, the ostentation will be even greater. A few days ago, Yi Cheng reported that a seventh-level official of the Ministry of Education left the capital and went to Jiayuguan to take up a post. There were more than ten servants accompanying him. Man, this post station only provides food for Yan Guan alone. 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 didn't say much and petitioned for impeachment. The inns must be abolished.”

The reason why the postmaster dared to only provide water and food to Yan Guan was because Yan Guan was reviled. If Yan Guan was in a normal position, the post would probably have to support these people together, that is, more than ten people. Food and water are a huge expense for a post station.

"It turns out that Hu Ke was responsible for Shi Yingyue. I remember that he impeached Hou Yuzhao and was demoted to the northwest. It seems that he will not change his mind." Zhu Yijun did some calculations and locked in who this official was.

"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 advice and wanted 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 roads were, the post guards had to be maintained. During the Longqing period, due to the lack of national funds, the public opinion advocated the construction of provinces several times. There were nominal requests to abolish some inns, but they were all rejected. Now that Shi Yingyue was talking about the matter again, Zhang Juzheng knew exactly 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 subjugated country." Zhu Yijun was very dissatisfied with this advice. Emperor Chongzhen finally abolished the post station due to financial losses due to the public opinion created by the official. As a result, Remove Li Zicheng.

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 post station was simply that the post station had neglected him.

"Not only will it not be abolished, but since the prosperity of the country, this post road must be expanded and renovated. The Ming Dynasty 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. One time, 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 go home. That's it. Being impeached by the official for being extravagant." 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 Zhu Di's best confidant. 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 the 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 fight in person.

Finally, 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 two shi of rice. When the King of Han conspired to rebel, Xia Yuanji insisted on conquering the army himself 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 Chu Guild Hall was only 1,000 taels a year. However, Zhang Juzheng was the chief minister of the dynasty and the emperor's master.

No matter what his status as an official in the Department of Science and Technology, and what contributions he made, he is actually 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'm terrified." Wang Chong, the ancients were all stupid, why didn't he have the heart to be respectful? 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 a 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 the DPRK and talking about one's nature with one's hands down is more important than the construction period of the pagoda."

Wang Chonggu fully understood that in order to meet the construction deadline, he arranged for many civilian workers to work together. Most of these officials were lazy, and the workers were still civilian workers. He just wanted to repair the pagoda quickly, and His Majesty even more Pay attention to 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 concern.

After working for a few days, you can be scolded for decades. Wang Chonggu's words are based on actual practice. Even if the officials were exiled to the border areas, even if they later forgave their families, after their families returned to their hometown, they began to write short compositions. And it took decades to write.

Wang Chonggu has already 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 Kechen's work and are cheating, that's it." Zhu Yijun saw that Wang Chonggu refused. To bear this infamy, I came in person.

"The Ming Dynasty's national law falsely accused the rebels. Since they said that the Dasikou cut corners, I can also say that they cheated and cheated. This is not too much. In other words, they dug up ten times and filled back ten times. It's not like I didn't deny them food."

He is young and has a cool and youthful virtue.

"I obey the order." Wang Chonggu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at the officials who were working, full of sympathy. His majesty's eyes turned around, it was a tortured bad idea, and the reason was very good. He was cheating and sneaking.

"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 of the Ming Dynasty depend on Mr. Yuanfu." Wang Chonggu looked at the back of the little emperor. This was not a child, he was clearly a monster.

"I am a little alone and can't support myself. I asked the great Sikou to join the cabinet, but the great Sikou refused to do anything." Zhang Juzheng said with strong emotion in his tone.

"This matter has to be done by Mr. Sir, who is the Imperial Master." Wang Chonggu could not imagine what kind of disaster these officials would encounter after His Majesty took charge.

It was night, and the heavy snow that had been flying in the sky for three days finally stopped. The sky finally cleared up. The long-lost bright moon hung high in the palace of heaven, casting a silvery white color on the earth. The capital was covered with snow inside and outside. People rarely go out, so 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 face 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 leave the house quickly and come out together. Put out fires to prevent them from burning into your home.

Qiao Lou looked out at the fire and immediately began to move towards the fire scene, which was located at Meishikou.

There were two coal market entrances in the inner city and outer city of the Ming Dynasty, one in Xizhimen and one in Guangning Gate. The largest one in Guangning Gate was burned.

A large part of the coal transported into the city from the Mentougou coal kiln in the west of Beijing by 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 streets. When the fire started, the watchmen were already hammering on the door, but it was still inevitable that someone was sleeping. , felt the heat and died 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.

"Did Baoqisi burn down?" 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 expression was complicated. Was he so hated by others? 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.

Instead of directly confiscating the homes of powerful people, concentrating wealth into the court would be inspiring.

Zhu Yijun couldn't understand why he, Zhang Juzheng, Wang Chonggu, Tan Lun, and Wang Guoguang were so hated, so much so that they had to kill him before they were done? 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 Meishikou is on fire." Wang Yaozhuo quickly replied. If Baoqisi was on fire, Wang Yaozhuo would have broken into the palace and shook the little emperor awake, regardless of propriety, justice and shame.

Wang Yaozhuo slept very lightly. This was related to the fact that she was used to living a precarious life. She would wake up if there was any movement. When the coal market started burning, Wang Yaozhuo got up when she heard the sound. It was not Baoqisi that was on fire. She He is also waiting in front of the door. When His Majesty wakes up, he waits on him. When His Majesty does not wake up, he waits.

"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. Because they were martyred in saving lives, 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, and the construction standards of the Zhongyong Temple That is: if this 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 Shitou 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 held by soldiers from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division. The fireman knows better than ordinary people that fire and water are ruthless, but he still sacrificed his life to save lives. He deserves this honor.

"Have you found out the cause of the fire?" Zhu Yijun asked eagerly.

Wang Chonggu's brows knitted into knots and he 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 because he was sure that such a case would not be investigated at all. However, the palace was full of report boxes. Even before the fire started, someone had already reported that there was a fire. , this can be regarded as confirming that it was a man-made disaster rather than a natural disaster, and we followed this clue to investigate.

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, which is the reason for this judgment. Yes, 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 the fire from spreading to their homes. They are also close to the Jinshui River and the moat, and are surrounded by firemen. This time 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 been dumping a lot of coal recently."

"If it is really man-made, then some people must have moved their own coal blasting in advance, heavy snow has blocked the roads, and the coal market entrance has been targeted again. The price of coal will definitely rise to the sky. When the time comes, it will depend on who can make the most of it. If you put the coal in, you can follow the clues and find the culprit.”

"The fire did burn away all the evidence. If the person was doing it for profit, just find the person who stocked up and moved the coal for the explosion in advance."

Wang Chonggu provided another angle to investigate the case.

The imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty was leaking air everywhere like a sieve. The content of the court discussion was not over yet. The outer court already knew it clearly. As Feng Bao's reporting boxes continued to increase, and Zhang Siwei The arson case caused Empress Dowager Li to go crazy in the Qing Palace. Now it is difficult to tell whether the news in the palace is true or false.

Therefore, 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."

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 meet the construction deadline. Wages.

In fact, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are not very demanding. They give the money on time. If they are asked to work more, they are given more money. Even if they are not given more money, they are given some meat. If they are given two ounces of wine, then the craftsmen He is also willing to do it, and he is happy.

If you look closely, you will see that the craftsmen are actually very similar to the soldiers on the border. They can live comfortably with half a salary and can repel the invading enemies with enough food.

I am afraid that I will not even be given a half 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.

Therefore, 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.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

After Wang Chonggu accepted the order, he left the Wenhua Hall directly, without even participating 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 Butang 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 have correctly realized that he was already The princes of one side of the separatist regime also regarded themselves as ministers of the Ming Dynasty and actively participated 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 did not transport grain by sea, then Luzon would not have to collect taxes. A place that cannot collect taxes would not be the territory of the Ming Dynasty. After all, From Luzon to the Ming Dynasty, the only way was to transport grain by sea, so he supported transporting grain by sea. In addition, Liu Lu from Hu Ke, Yang Yikui who participated in the Cao Governor's political affairs, and Liu Guangji, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, etc. all agreed one after another, requesting that the sea-cao transport be confirmed."

Hai Rui looked at the memorial and said: "The loyalty of the ministers and overseas ministers in Lu Song can be learned from the world. How can your majesty abandon me and ignore them?"

In the memorial, Yin Zhengmao directly laid out the outline and put it on the line. The Haicao project must be done and must be continued. Once the technical problems are solved, the administrative problems must be solved. If there is no Haicao project, the Ming Dynasty will not want Luzon! It’s just abandoned soil!

Anyone who 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 forcibly implemented 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 is the Ming Dynasty and Hongmao Fan. If the frontline of the struggle is not in Luzon, should we 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 Lu Song's separatism, and Lu Song is worried that the imperial court will abandon it. In Lu Song, the surnamed master still has to rely on the Ming Dynasty, Taizu Emperor Gao Wise and mighty."

Lu Song's surname is actually copied from Yunnan's surname Mu Wangfu. One is in the border area and the other is overseas, and both have successful experiences.

"I more agree with what Yin Butang said. Giving up the sea canal 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. This trick of going up the line is not just The cheap Confucians can play, and so can the ministers.

Sea-cao transportation 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 shipping cost of sea-cao transportation will be cheaper than that of river-cao transportation. This will greatly slow down the expansion of transportation. , Gyeonggi, and Liaodong’s food shortage dilemma.

The shortage of food in the north was 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 region to flee. This impact was 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, the capital was hollowed out and turned into a no-man's land. The population loss in Gyeonggi has further worsened the food shortage problem in the north.

The canal is not abandoned. On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty is still maintaining the canal. If the canal can really become a long-term national policy, then the Grand Canal, the main artery of the empire, will explode with greater vitality because its transportation capacity will no longer be delayed.

When the grain was brought to Beijing, the river was closed. In order to survive when the river was closed, merchants had to find ways to hide the goods on the canal boats and transport them to the north. Grain transport by sea will further release the vitality of the canal.

Bringing 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 Guangguang finished reading Yin Zhengmao's memorial.

The naval battle in Mindanao entered a boring and boring confrontation time. Yin Zhengmao, the governor of Luzon, could not do anything to the Red-haired Fans who were huddled in the fortified city. The Red-haired Fans were also unable to win in the naval battle. During this garbage time, the big ship captured a Giant whale.

One tael of ambergris costs 80 taels of silver. This 127-pound piece of ambergris costs more than 160,000 silver in Nanya. Ambergris is a top-grade spice, and shark oil is a top-grade fish oil for lighting. Burns cleaner and the flame is bright and stable.

Fishing and oil 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.

If you can make money, sell it.

"Guizhou Governor Jiang Yilin ordered the Miao people to lose more than 270,000 acres of official land in order to build a new county in Changning for the purpose of long-term governance." Zhang Juzheng mentioned the latest progress of the civil servants' recent implementation of land reform and return to local people.

This Miao thief was named Ye Kai. The leader of the Miao tribe, Ye Kai, took advantage of dangers 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, and finally destroyed Ye Kai's lair. , and reported that the chieftains were abolished and Changning County was established.

The construction cost of Changning County was sponsored by the deceased Ye Kai.

The court meeting was quickly passed, and Jiang Yilin was promoted to the position of imperial censor and the minister of household affairs. He was still the governor of Guizhou and the minister of household affairs, which meant that there was a vacancy in the household ministry, and Jiang Yilin was qualified to enter the capital to serve as the minister of household affairs.

This step is extremely difficult for foreign officials.

Zhu Yijun was more curious about how Jiang Yilin solved this Ye thief. This chieftain of the Ye thief line had been arrogant and domineering from the Song Dynasty to the Wanli four years of the Ming Dynasty. It could be said that it was deeply rooted and had not been solved for so many years. How could Jiang Yilin get it as soon as he got started? Is the illness cured?

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 kidnapped a beautiful woman into the mountain with a knife on her head. The beauty was Jiang Yilin's knife. The beauty was really beautiful. Within two months, the beauty took advantage of him. Ye Kai was sleeping soundly and was stabbed to death with a knife.

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 war, 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 was expensive, and even buying wood from Yangzhou and transporting it to Beijing was cheaper than buying it nearby.

Zhu Yijun had decreed to stop using golden nanmu to build the palace, but the foundation factory still used up the saved wood.

There is no wood, let alone firewood. This is why Beiya is filled with yellow sand in the spring, so the trees planted are white.

"Zhang Juzheng, the young master, concurrently the crown prince and grand master, the official minister, and the grand scholar of Zhongji Palace, passed the examination in the ninth year and passed the examination. I asked him to be promoted to the Chong rank and appointed as the grand master for Yuan Fu." Wan Shihe reported a memorial A major event was that Zhang Juzheng was offered the position of Grand Tutor based on his nine-year examination results and was specially promoted to the highest rank.

"Yes!" Zhu Yijun didn't hesitate. He looked at Wan Shihe and became more and more pleased with him. Zhang Juzheng has refused to be promoted many times. Whether he will be promoted or not is not up to you, Zhang Juzheng!

"I have the "Kao Man Ci Free of 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! ! ! ! !
