I am the king of the dead

Chapter 154 Twenty taels!
"Your Majesty, the war in the Xuan Mansion will not delay His Majesty's selection of girls." Xing'an said with a embarrassed expression.

After this process, let alone a few months, the battle of Xuanfu will take at least a month before it can really be fought. This delay, how many women are eager to see through?

His Majesty is handsome, full of heroic spirit, and has just finished the battle of the capital. He is very popular in the capital. As soon as the news of the draft came out, more than a thousand people signed up in the capital alone.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath and shook his head and said: "After the war, the soldiers on the front line will fight desperately. I will be behind and open up the harem. If the news reaches the front line, what will the soldiers think? How will the people of the world think?"

"This battle involves the great importance of the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty."

In fact, Xing'an wanted to persuade him again, but he still didn't persuade him. He could only hope that the battle of Xuanfu would be over sooner.

"How is Shijingchang doing now?" Zhu Qiyu asked another matter.

Shijing Factory is a factory of Shijingshan Carbon Steel Consortium. It was built by the Ministry of Industry, but the planning and construction of the factory area are also changing at any time.

Xing'an bowed his head and said: "Xizhimen must be expanded, and Lugou Bridge must also be expanded. Otherwise, the furnace made by Wang Gong's factory cannot be transported."

"It will take a lot of time from the Xishan Coal Road to the Shijing Factory, and it cannot be done overnight. Moreover, Tieshan also needs to transfer high-quality iron materials from other provinces. This matter is really urgent. The Ministry of Internal Affairs and The Ministry of Industry is already stepping up the process."

Although Zhu Qiyu was impatient, he still told him: "The matter is of great importance, we must grasp the details and eliminate all hidden dangers that can be eliminated."

"A good meal is not afraid of being late, and it can't be made into raw rice."

"The minister leads the order." Xing'an bowed his head and said.

In fact, Xing'an was in Yanxing Building, and I heard other courtiers talking about this Shijing Factory.

Some people have the attitude of reading jokes, some people hold the principles of the Four Books and Five Classics, and denounce the corruption of the government and the people's struggle for profit, and some people think that His Majesty is determined to make progress, and their opinions are not all the same.

However, some officials that His Majesty paid attention to were worried about the new Shijing Factory.

For example, Wang Wen, the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was afraid that His Majesty, who was eager to rush the construction period, would cause the foundation of Shijing Factory to be unstable. If something went wrong, or it was delayed in starting production, this restructuring would be aborted.

Your Majesty is on the brink of death, unable to see clearly the difficulties below, and repeatedly urging, but good things turn into bad things.

But Xing'an saw His Majesty's urgency, but His Majesty didn't rush, on the contrary, he was very sober, never afraid to be late for a good meal, and didn't eat raw rice.

Xing'an came to the station with His Majesty's edict and handed the letter to the postman.

The elegant government of the new dynasty is in full swing, can Xuanfu win?Can it be a complete victory?It determines how much effort Daming has to implement the New Deal.

The battle of the Xuanfu affected the national power of Wala and Daming. If you win, you will prosper, and if you lose, you will perish.

How long does it take four hundred miles for the Daming Station?
half a day.

Although it is a mountain road, as the Beijing camp army continues to pave the road and level the road surface, this mountain road has finally become much easier to walk.

"Huh, huh, huh!" The postman got off his horse and handed the edict to Yang Hong who was strengthening the city in Wanquandu.

Yang Hong opened the letter, read it for a long time, and brought his personal guards to Wanquan Dusi's surroundings. After carefully reading it for a long time, he picked up an Annan gun and fired a shot on the city wall.

From the starting point to the moat, the gentle slope only needs to be three feet wide and less than one foot high.

This is a soil slope, and it is not difficult to work on. The trench is much more difficult than this, so he ordered people to go down and finalized the matter.

Whether it works or not, you will know if you try it.

"Your Majesty is very concerned about the battle of the Xuan Mansion." Yang Hong looked at the brief drawing in his hand, feeling quite emotional.

In fact, Yang Hong thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure it out. Who gave the Wala people so much courage to come to Xuanfu to touch it?

After the Tumu Fort, Yang Hong waited for so long for the Oirats, and the Oirats bypassed the Bauhinia Pass.

Wanquandusi, in the southwest of Xuanfu, is Yang Hong's preset battlefield.

Even if Agadorji worked hard and stormed Jiajia Town and took it down, Agadorji was helpless in the face of the strong Xuanfu.

If the enemy attacked Wanquan by force, then the Huailai, Shunshengchuan, Xuanfu, and Wanquan armies would be surrounded on all sides, and the artillery, arrows and stones would roar down, and the Wala people would surely suffer heavy casualties.

It would be even better if the enemy stormed the Xuan Mansion, and they would directly plunge into the pocket array set up by Yang Hong, and there would be no life or death.

Will it be that stupid first?
Yang Hong was looking forward to it.

After Yang Hong left the Xuanfu, the spies of the Wala people found Zhu Chun in the military department after several rounds.

Zhu Chun is writing a painting in his study room at home. This is a painting he has painted for more than half a year, and it is also a poem that he has considered for a long time.

"Sangzhe thousands of fireworks, cattle and sheep scattered in the suburbs. The slanting moon is at the place next door, and the sunset is at the time of returning from social drinking." Zhu Chun looked at his own handwriting and was quite satisfied.

The concierge came over in a hurry, bowed his head and said, "Master, the greeting card handed in front of the door is from Jianhu Yinshe."

Zhu Chun suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "No, no one!"

"Before the battle of the Xuan Mansion is over, they will all keep out the door and never see guests. If the military plan or King Yang's arrangements are leaked, and if they are investigated afterwards, the whole family will be devastated, and no one will dare to intercede."

"Hmph, it was really sent to the Imperial Hospital to be chopped up, and the family members were beheaded. Who can afford it? No, no!"

Spy is now an extremely high-risk occupation. He did the review by the Imperial Academy because of his recommendation.

During the orthodox years, there were indeed people who were selling news everywhere, but now that the turmoil is at the forefront, for a little money, they took the lives of their whole family?

not worth.

"This man has brought a lot of money to manage, sir, look." The concierge obviously collected the scattered money and said something nice for the visitor.

Zhu Chun's eyes shifted, and he asked with flickering eyes, "Did you bring money? How much?"

"It's bulging, there are hundreds of taels." The porter quickly replied.

Zhu Chun looked overjoyed, and immediately said: "Quick, quick!"

"You go to the front door to stabilize this person, remember not to show any flaws, just say that XX is still... still in the toilet, it is inconvenient to see Confucian scholars."

"Send someone to go out through the back door to find the prefect of the Xuan Mansion, and take him, a spy with 50 taels of head!"

"You can still get a top card! What a wonderful thing, hurry up, hurry up!"

Zhu Chun originally thought that he was a Confucian guest from the Jianhu Yinshe, but he brought so much money, regardless of whether he was a spy or not, he took it and questioned him first to find out where he came from.

On weekdays, if you get a spy, you only have silver taels, and you don't have a top card to get.

But in wartime, capturing a spy is equivalent to beheading an armored enemy, and you can receive 50 taels of silver as a reward, as well as a head card!
How can it be so easy to get the top card?
50 taels and hundreds of taels, of course it is more than hundreds of taels, but hundreds of taels are too hot to handle. If you take them, you won't even be able to keep a piece of skin.

Your Majesty treats spies like Ling Chi, the chief villain, even his family members.

If he is arrested, even the magistrate who recommended him in Fuliang, Jiangxi Province will be unlucky. Moreover, within five generations of their clan, no one will be allowed to take the imperial examination.

For the rest, it's okay to say that the imperial examination is not allowed, that is, it will kill the old family of the clan.

But if the imperial examination is not possible, the clan will immediately disband, and the side branches will immediately go to other families to recognize their ancestors and return to their clan.

The cost of crime is simply too high.

Zhu Chun has been hiding behind the shadow wall of the porter's room. If this person wants to leave, Zhu Chun decides to show up to stabilize this person. If this person does not leave, Zhu Chun can still watch the excitement of catching spies.

Within half a stick of incense, the servants of the Xuanfu government office arrived and arrested him immediately.

Zhu Chun heaved a sigh of relief, and he went out to the office of the Xuan Mansion.

The government office is already overcrowded.

Naturally, there are grievances in this. A simple investigation of relatives and daily life can basically determine whether he is a good person, and he can be let go.

The Xuanfu tried it once, and finally escorted it to Beijing, went to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, the capital, and tried it again. After it was confirmed and checked twice, it was reported to His Majesty Zhu for approval, and then it could be sent to the Imperial Hospital to contribute to the cause of medicine.

In the law of the Ming Dynasty, there are two theories of checking and supplementing.

Whether it is generals like Wei Xing, Sun Jie, Zhao Rong, or spies like Liu Yu and Han Ling, they have to be convicted twice, and then conduct two additional investigations to collect criminal evidence, hand them over to Dali Temple for approval, and then send them to Wenyuan Pavilion, approved by His Majesty Zhu.

This is a very complicated process. Zhu Qiyu alone has to go through the process three times, which is called the death penalty triple play.

Killing is also an important part of imperial power, and it is also the scope of the emperor's power and responsibility.

Beizhen Fusi wanted to handle an iron case, Dali Temple didn't want to engage in unjust, false and wrong cases, and Zhu Qiyu carefully checked every death penalty case, and finally finalized the death penalty.

The death penalty in any place must also be sent to the emperor, which is why Song Zhang, Chief Secretary of Fujian Province, and other death row prisoners were sent to the capital.

Looking at the crowd of people waiting, Zhu Chun couldn't help feeling that the morals of the world have finally become normal instead of ritual and music collapsed.

If this is left before, the war will be rampant if the war breaks out.

A city defense layout can be obtained with only a few tens of taels of silver, and a marching layout is less than a hundred taels.

In Datong, Shiheng Township, as soon as the troops were dispatched to Yanghe, they were ambushed and wiped out by the Wala people. Shi Heng escaped alone and was escorted to the capital and imprisoned.

How much did Guo Deng sell Shi Heng for?
Less than a thousand taels.

Zhu Chun handed over the inscribed painting to his servant, and asked him to frame it before sending it to the capital.

He is the pen master of Jianhu Yinshe. A painting can be bought for more than 1000 taels of silver in Jiangnan.

As for promotion?

He has no idea.

He himself was not from a serious academic background, he did not have a Jinshi degree, and being able to be a seventh-rank teacher was already a high-spirited person.

He cared more about the reward card, which could keep the house at home.

Catching spies was almost his only chance to get reward cards.

This painting is Chen Xun, a great scholar, who asked him to make a painting of the frontier fortress. Although he didn't know the purpose, he still painted it.

　Thank you for the 10000 point reward of "Where is the next life?"Thank you "Duoluhou" for your 2000-point reward, "DK Qin Ge" for your 1500-point reward, thank you "Steady and Doggy" for your 100-point reward, thank you for your 2-point paragraph reward, and thank you for your support.
