surnamed Wang

Chapter 512 Surprise
Since the imperial father-in-law named "Xiaochuanzi" disappeared in the palace, the candidate for the next chief executive has become an "unsolved case".

It is a well-known fact that the emperor favors Xiao Chuanzi, and even let the little prince go, he only verbally reprimanded him, and he was promoted to first-rank imperial father-in-law soon after, which can be said to have suffered the emperor's favor.

Many people in the court had already planned to go up to admonish the new emperor not to over-favor his servants so as not to prevent eunuchs from intervening in politics in the future, but at this critical juncture, this upstart in front of the imperial court suddenly disappeared.

Most people were curious about this matter, but the remaining two royal father-in-laws were secretly delighted. They have struggled in the palace for so many years, and at a very young age, they finally achieved their current status. How could they be willing to let A junior who appeared suddenly stood on top of his head.

Not long after that, Wandi really randomly selected a temporary eunuch with palm seal from the two. Wang Gangquan is not a person who admits death, and the position of chief executive can be temporarily vacant, but it is a bit difficult to do things without a palm seal eunuch by his side. trouble.

The old eunuch who was selected was still complacent, thinking that he would officially become a palm seal eunuch in a short time, and even the position of chief executive would belong to him, but everyone did not expect that his temporary role would last for five years.

……

Five years, in the entire history, is just a moment of innocence, but in the dynasty ruled by Wandi, everyone really understands what prosperity is.

First, Pan Ziqian, king of Anbei County, took over the post of Minister of the Household Department, and then vigorously developed trade with the surrounding four ethnic groups. A large amount of fur, jewelry, spices, and horses were transported to the Central Plains from all directions, and precious handicrafts such as silk and porcelain were also sold to the Central Plains. Four clans.

Based on the business experience of the Pan family in the past dynasties, Pan Shangshu has reached the point where he almost counts pennies and pennies. Even Donghan, who has decades of trading experience, can't help but smile wryly when negotiating with him.

……

As a subject, Pan Ziqian knew his responsibilities. He was just helping to take care of the money. If it was really a good thing to benefit the country and the people, he would naturally not be reluctant to let go of the money.

For more than ten years, I have said that "If you are the emperor, brother Wang, I will be willing to manage the accounts for you", which is considered to be fulfilled on this day.

After Pan Ziqian agreed, the happiest person was Liu Luming who was watching the fun. He rolled up his sleeves regardless of etiquette, and said excitedly:

After Yan Jun took over as Minister of the Ministry of War, he immediately inspected the border defenses everywhere. The repair of weapons and the maintenance of the city wall were acceptable. The only fly in the ointment was that there were fewer post roads.

Wang Gangquan used to appoint Pan Junwang as the secretary of the household department, so there were many criticisms in the court, but now he shut his mouth honestly after seeing the mountain of white money piled up in the treasury.

In the ordnance factory, Wang Bingquan and Liu Luming stood in front of a large iron barrel. The whole body of the iron barrel was black, and there were many pipes criss-crossing on it, which looked very complicated.

He had mentioned this matter to Emperor Shun, but at that time the national treasury was empty, and the military expenditure alone would consume more than half of it every year, and there was really no spare energy to support other things.Although Shen Qianqiu's proposal of "garrisoning the land" later reduced the pressure on the dynasty, but the taxes for decades have all been on the people, and the loosened treasury must be returned to the people as soon as possible.

On the day when the mutual trade zone was built, Pan Ziqian stood in the center of the bustling market, looking at the businessmen who were constantly coming and going, his eyes turned red when he was over [-] years old.

"It did blow up a few times before. Later, I improved the steel and added a deflated gadget, and there was no danger again."

"Brother Wang really predicts things like a god."

"Hey, come to live."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

In the early morning of the next day, Yan Jun mentioned this matter in public, but Wang Gangquan mostly agreed with it.

"It's still your majesty who understands me, and I can't explain clearly in a few words. Please move to the ordnance factory."

Liu Luming was about to boast a few words, but when he saw the other person's eyes, he immediately said seriously:

Weng and his son-in-law were not polite, and directly brought up the old matter at the wine table. Wang Gangquan had already experienced the convenience of the post road when he went to the capital of Talighan, so he had always had similar thoughts. In addition, as a future man, he knew " If you want to get rich, build roads first", so the two hit it off.

……

"Oh, brother Wang really has a sharp eye..."

In such a situation where taxation, security for the people, expenditure, and combat power have reached a delicate balance, Yan Jun's post road proposal has been delayed for several years.

The dynasty made a lot of money by doing business, but Yan Jun, the head of the country, had already figured out how to spend it for his son-in-law.

In addition, the Son of Heaven is not allowed to appoint or dismiss officials at will, let alone nepotism. Of course, this rule is basically abolished after Emperor Shun came to the throne.

Afterwards, the imperial court transferred money several times in succession, and divided large-scale commercial areas on the four borders. In the area, not only the imperial court could exchange goods, but ordinary merchants could also trade here.

Wang Gangquan looked around the machine, then stroked his chin and said:

"You really fiddled with the steam engine?"

To put it bluntly, only when the people live a comfortable life will they not be resentful. After all, many dynasties from ancient times to the present have been destroyed by internal troubles rather than external troubles. Not everyone is willing to live a nourishing life and do it. Something that might drop your head.

A strong country needs strong soldiers. The Wang family has never treated the soldiers who gave their lives to guard the country for them in terms of military pay. This is also the reason why the Yan family has been loyal for generations.

There are court rules in the court. When Emperor Shengen was in power, he was afraid that his unworthy descendants would give orders at will, so he gave the three provinces and six ministries great authority. Even the emperor's imperial edict, the ministers could reject it under unreasonable circumstances.

Seeing the Weng and his son-in-law singing the oboe on and off the stage, Pan Ziqian smiled knowingly, and finally chose to nod.

……

……

Wang Gangquan glanced at him, but did not speak.

These areas are guarded by imperial soldiers all the year round. Needless to say, the security is not low. Of course, the fee is not low. As for the laws and regulations that make businessmen scold their mothers, they are naturally written by Pan Shangshu.

After the court was over, all the officials dispersed, only Liu Luming stood in the hall with a smile on his face, and Wang Gingquan rubbed his temples, showing helplessness:

"Garning the fields" is not a long-term solution. Soldiers who have been plowing the fields without training are no different from farmers, so the "rotational farming system" was introduced later. It's not as full as before, but at least half of its combat power is preserved.

"Pressure relief valve... Ni boy really surprises me every time." Wang Quanquan said, climbing up the ladder next to him.

Time goes back to the present, Yan Jun has been suffering from lack of money to implement the construction of post roads, and finally has a turning point after the new emperor ascended the throne.

Emperor Shun's policy of calming the people was indeed effective. The number of beggar gangs that had been active in Guangdong and Guangxi had decreased visibly with the naked eye. Even when Emperor Shun visited the streets and alleys of the capital in private, he rarely stepped on the feces of beggars.

"Stop shooting, have the noise and vibration been resolved? And the intensity, will it explode?"

Liu Luming has always admired the other party's talent in naming. He followed behind climbing the ladder while showing off:
"This is nothing. Our ordnance factory uses a lot of charcoal for forging every day, and most of the heat generated is wasted. This steam engine can be used as a kiln, and secondly, it can use the excess heat to heat water and drive the forging with steam. Hammer, craftsmen can save a lot of effort.

I will not waste the extra steam, and I added a small thing, using the exhaust steam to drive, and continuously send air into the furnace to control the temperature of the charcoal fire. "

"Did you get a turbo?" Wang Gangquan suddenly turned his head, his face full of disbelief.
