I'm really not doing business

Chapter 526 The First Technology Progress Award
Songjiang Prefecture's achievements in opening up the sea are naturally due to Songjiang Prefecture's unique conditions, the Yangtze River route that connects nine provinces.

In fact, the Yangtze River estuary is also one of the most complex estuaries in the world. The average water depth at the estuary is less than one foot. This is not because of any special talent. The reason why the current situation of hundreds of rivalries is due to the ten years of dredging carried out by Songjiang Prefecture. For flat-bottomed river boats, the average water depth is less than one foot. This depth can be used, but for sea-going ships that often need one thousand or two thousand materials, it becomes very useless. Every time they enter the river, it is a risk.

In ten years, due to repeated dredging, the average water depth in the Yangtze River Estuary increased from one foot to two feet, making it possible for sea-going ships to navigate smoothly.

Songjiang Mansion is working hard. In the past ten years, it has been continuously building: shipyards, ports, bridges, maritime schools, schools and factories, the City of All Nations, etc. These are the efforts of everyone in Songjiang Mansion.

However, Songjiang Mansion alone cannot achieve today's results.

The nine provinces on the Yangtze River Waterway of the Ming Dynasty are dredging the waterways to ensure that river boats can arrive smoothly. The department stores on the Songjiang Prefecture thoroughfare also come from all over the north and south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty. They are goods produced bit by bit by the people of the Ming Dynasty.

The miracle of opening the sea is the result of the efforts of thousands of people.

Songjiang Prefecture created miracles in opening up the sea. Frequent trade made this land full of opportunities. It also underwent earth-shaking changes and developed many new industries. The insurance industry imported from Thailand and the West was one of the changes. .

Zhu Yijun is cautious about insurance because of the general lack of integrity in this industry.

This is not caused by individuals, but the industry is like this. It is a betting agreement in itself and part of the speculative culture.

Felipe II controlled the huge wool industry, and his woolen production scale was comparable to that of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yijun didn't know what Wang Chonggu was nervous about. In fact, the craftsmen had a very good impression of Wang Chonggu.

In the darkest moment of the Ming Dynasty, between Anda Khan's invasion in the 29th year of Jiajing and the first year of Wanli, when Ningyuan Hou Li Chengliang went out to fight and annihilate Gule Village, it was the darkest moment of the Ming Dynasty. During this period, the death rate of Duntai Yuanhou, It often exceeds 50%. At least half of the 3,000 Duntai Yuanhou who went out to burn wasteland or went deep into the prison camp to explore the enemy's situation never returned.

"Don't delay production." Zhu Yijun told Wang Chonggu clearly.

Zhang Juzheng believed that it was better to formulate complete laws and regulations to regulate the execution of contracts than to directly establish the imperial court.

Xishan Coal Bureau has been in a very bad situation recently. A serious production accident caused Xishan Coal Bureau to be deeply involved in public opinion and very passive.

Gas and water inrush are the two major killers in the underground world.

Hanging water is naturally caused by condensation on the well wall, while redness is caused by the appearance of red rust. Mentougou Coal Mine is associated with pyrite. Once rust is found during excavation, it will be stopped immediately. The sound of water is a hissing sound similar to that of a poisonous snake spitting out its core. The sound is very obvious. The coldness is the coldness in the area close to the water accumulation. The underground is much warmer than the ground. You must stop when you encounter the coldness. That is the water accumulation area.

Zhu Yijun, who left Nanhaizi in Daxing County, went to Yongding Woolen Factory and Yongsheng Woolen Factory. These two woolen factories continue to produce a large number of woolen products and have to hand over nearly 200 national funds every year. The terrifying profit of ten thousand dollars is almost as big as Spain, a country on the back of a sheep.

In the ninth year of Wanli, after the Ming Dynasty conquered Bansheng, the death rate of Duntai Yuanhou finally dropped by about 10%.

Because Songjiang Prefecture has urgent needs, the local insurance business in Songjiang is growing wildly. Before taking out the insurance, one has to take care of this and that. When a claim needs to be settled, reasonable and legal words and well-founded clauses are used time and time again. It taught people a simple and simple truth, there is no such thing as pie in the sky. It made every policyholder look like a fool, ignorant of the provisions, gullible in promises, stupid, greedy, shameful, ungrateful, and dishonest. reason.

There are a lot of things that need to be discussed here. Shen Shixing just proposed this idea. Whether it should be implemented depends on the court's decision-making.

The cause of the accident was simple: water burst underground, and there was no warning for this water burst.

Zhu Yijun soon received a vote from the cabinet. The conservative Zhang Juzheng believed that the imperial court would not intervene excessively. After further observation, Zhang Juzheng believed that the excessive intervention of the imperial court was an overdraft of the imperial court's credibility. The credibility of the Ming Dynasty imperial court depended entirely on the emperor's Personal reputation support, if you get the last piece of chicken feathers, the court's reputation will be ruined, and the emperor's reputation will be implicated, and the gain will outweigh the loss.

After thinking for a long time, Zhu Yijun finally decided to implement a pilot project in Songjiang Prefecture to give it a try. If it works, it can be promoted widely.

Whether it is the darkest day or the dawn, or the current rising sun era, Duntai Yuanhou has always been full of people, maybe voluntarily, maybe forced, or just for the sake of salary. No matter what it is for, Zhu Yijun is grateful to Duntai Yuanhou's contribution to the Ming Dynasty.

It was obviously a deception, a lie, and a failure to abide by the contract, but instead it was the people who took out the insurance who blamed it for believing those unrealistic promises.

How could it be called nameless? Rivers and mountains are named.

Zhu Yijun's vision went dark when he saw Wang Guoguang's memorial. Sure enough, what he worried about happened. The first function Wang Guoguang thought of was to gather silver, gather a large amount of silver, and let the silver flow instead of being buried in the pig pen.

In the cold winter of the tenth year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun, the emperor, became active again. He appeared in Nanhaizi, Daxing County, which was the resettlement place for the family members of Duntai Yuanhou. The permanent establishment of Duntai Yuanhou in the Ming Dynasty was only 3,000 people.

Zhu Yijun met many craftsmen at the woolen factory. These were not deliberately arranged. Zhu Yijun randomly selected them from the yellow book of the woolen factory. Before the interview, even Feng Bao did not know who his majesty wanted to meet. By this day, Wang Chonggu was always sweating profusely because he was passing the test.

Wang Chonggu became the water and fire god of the steam engine, which was not without the basis of public opinion.

The craftsmen rarely raised any opinions when they met, unless it was something bad like a gambling house. The bosses, agents, and general managers in the factory really couldn't stand it when they opened a casino in the factory.

In this accident, more than 70 kiln workers died underground. Suddenly, the Mentougou Coal Mine became the target of verbal criticism from the censors. They must say that their ancestors were angry and warned like this, but the censors still persisted. The Ministry of Industry was asked to close the coal kilns, move the coal and steel industry downwards, and stop burning coal and making iron in the capital. The soot made everyone look disgraced.

The official factory group construction has given the craftsmen and weavers a stable life. When the official factory is in operation, it will issue industrial silver and New Year silver during the Chinese New Year. Wang Chonggu’s own dividend became the craftsman’s dividend. Wang Chonggu even provided a school for his children to go to school. Wang Chonggu, among the craftsmen In his eyes, Wang Chonggu is a living Bodhisattva, more blue than the blue sky master.

Of course Shen Shixing’s intentions were good.

Wang Guoguang was very positive about this matter, because in Wang Guoguang's eyes, this thing was actually a variant of the bank.

A healthy and orderly maritime trade insurance system is conducive to promoting the vigorous development of maritime trade.

"It has been appeased, and each person will receive a pension of seventeen silver." Wang Chonggu quickly bowed his head and said.

In the past, water inrush accidents had warning signs, such as water hanging, red water, roaring water, and cold weather.

When the emperor asked other questions, the craftsmen would usually just answer them well.

"Are the family members comforted? We must try our best to find the body. Let's set up a monument at the entrance of the mine and write their names on it. The alarm bell will sound." Zhu Yijun stood in front of the mine where the accident occurred and explained the aftermath to Wang Chonggu.

For seventeen silver to buy a life, Wang Chonggu looked a bit like a bloody executioner, but you must know that before the establishment of the Xishan Coal Bureau, the kiln workers died when they died, and no one would compensate them. Going down the well was a matter of life and death.

After Wang Chonggu accompanied the emperor to inspect the woolen factory, he also inspected the Xishan Coal Bureau.

"Insurance is insurance, talking about income is deceiving." Zhu Yijun commented on insurance, which can be regarded as a minimum standard for the insurance industry. Insurance is insurance, and financial management is financial management. If they are confused, it is fraud.

Finance is an inevitable product of the development of the commodity economy over a period of time. Banks, trading houses, insurance, etc. are all a type of financial institutions and another form of rent collection. Zhu Yijun hates rent collection. He prefers production. In general, he prefers more goods.

It was precisely because of the general lack of integrity that finally prompted Shen Shixing to request the imperial court to organize the maritime insurance industry, clean up the ghosts and monsters on the ground in Songjiang, rectify the unhealthy trends, and make the insurance industry a major event in the maritime trade of the Ming Dynasty. , escort and promote commerce.

Xishan Coal Bureau is the center of the Ming Dynasty's coal and steel joint industry, and it will never stop just because of the censor's verbal criticism.

It is easy to fall into the trap of more currencies through speculation, which is very dangerous especially when the small-scale peasant economy transforms into a commodity economy.

These four experiences have helped Xishan Coal Bureau avoid more than ten water leakage accidents, but this time there was no warning.

Banks store gold and silver, collect and pay interest, and issue loans. They absorb a large amount of silver from the private sector and hoard it in "insurance." They use the silver to invest. While getting returns on investment, the insurance industry itself is profitable, and there is no Risk of run.

Faced with the censure of the censors, Wang Daokun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, avoided talking about it and could only avoid it. It is true that the problem of coal smoke, especially in winter, has become a problem. The continuous expansion of production scale has also caused the entire capital to suffer in winter. In the midst of a haze disaster, the 2.7 million people in the Ming Dynasty's capital region need coal, ironware, and coke for coal-silver convection.

"That's what it's like to be an official in the capital. It seems that the censor does not need to burn the stove. The coal in the stove all grows from the coal market entrance, right?" When Zhu Yijun left the Xishan Coal Bureau, he said to Wang Chonggu with certainty: "Just keep producing."

Before you get rich, you can't afford luxuries. The Ming Dynasty's coal and steel joint venture has just started and cannot be stopped no matter what. As long as Zhu Yijun is alive, the censors can only be incompetent and furious.

Wang Chonggu said with a complex expression: "Your Majesty, there is something that I am not sure about. We seem to have created something extraordinary."

"Amazing?" Zhu Yijun was stunned, looked at Wang Chonggu and said, "What happened?"

"We don't know either." Wang Chonggu answered this question very clearly. He didn't know what it was, but he knew that His Majesty would be interested.

"Your Majesty, please come with your attendants." Wang Chonggu led his Majesty to another newly opened workshop. There were several stoves and pools one by one. The three-foot-square pools all had lids on them. There are pipes stretching to a tower over three feet high.

Wang Chonggu said with a very complicated expression: "Seven years ago, before the imperial censors scolded us, we noticed the problem of soot, because at that time many of the burnt kiln workers had lung diseases, and they had to wear masks even if it was hot. Going to work was a rule set at that time.”

"Wang Cifu told me about this at the beginning." Zhu Yijun knew the beginning of the story very well. Cotton masks, rattan hats, brass bell warnings, etc. are all labor protection. In this regard, Wang Chonggu has always done a good job.

Industrial craftsmen noticed the harm caused by coal smoke earlier. The officials in the capital were far away in the capital, and craftsmen dealt with the coal smoke every day.

Wang Chonggu continued: "At first we built the charred chimney higher so that the soot could be blown away by the wind, but we failed. The soot was blown away by the wind and did not fall to the Xishan Coal Bureau, but fell to the capital. Went there and made a lot of complaints.”

"Three years ago, we introduced coal smoke into the pool, allowing the water to absorb the smoke and turn the black smoke into white smoke. To this end, we built four water towers for the coke ovens."

"The water in all water towers is circulated. The water pumped out from the ground enters the smoke tower, and then the blower blows the soot into it. The backwater problem can be solved as long as the height of the flue exceeds the water surface. Four smoke towers are very Effectively, black smoke turns into white smoke, and clear water turns into turbid water.”

Zhu Yijun is very familiar with the process of treating coal smoke exhaust. The Ministry of Industry promised the censors to make changes. He was not perfunctory, but he has been actively making changes and looking for ways. If not for this kind of treatment, the coal smoke in the capital would only be will be more serious. "How to deal with the turbid water has become a problem again. Drain it directly into the river. How could the censors and officials let go of Xishan Coal Bureau." Wang Chonggu shuddered when he thought of that scene. These censors, The speech is not generally unpleasant.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty were very domineering. Emperor Xiaozong was very kind to the scholar-bureaucrats and almost obeyed them in everything. As a result, in February of the 10th year of Hongzhi, a memorial was left unapproved by Xiaozong. Later, he did not know where it was. Xu Pu, a bachelor of the cabinet, led the cabinet to report and scolded Emperor Xiaozong severely.

(Attached is the original text, and there are many criticisms later.)
Wang Chonggu is also very afraid of public officials. Although he has many means to deal with these chattering guys, what should he do if Zhang Juzheng is ambushing him and he is unfortunately caught?
So Wang Chonggu was really serious about handling this matter. He dug more than a dozen sedimentation tanks. After the soot and dust settled, the clean water in the upper layer was recycled and the silt in the lower layer accumulated.

This problem is temporarily solved.

"I am very pleased that Wang Cifu has a way." Zhu Yijun affirmed Wang Chonggu's work in controlling coal smoke. Wang Chonggu did not fool the officials, let alone His Majesty. It was just that he was doing it step by step. It is impossible to say today that it will be effective tomorrow, and various methods are constantly improved in practice.

Yan Guan always feels that he has the power of "my thinking". As soon as he thinks about it or discusses the problem, he must solve it immediately. If the coal smoke cannot be solved, shut down the Xishan Coal Bureau and breathe fresh air without using coal. , it can be said to be extremely unrealistic.

Wang Chonggu agreed with both hands that Yan Guan wanted to go to the border to work and gain practical experience.

"We discovered some strange things." Wang Chonggu's face was really complicated. They had produced a thing that he didn't know what it was. He bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, these water that absorbs coal smoke can Promote vegetation to flourish.”

"What do you mean?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu blankly and said doubtfully: "What does it mean to promote the growth of vegetation?"

"Soot and water become a kind of fertilizer. When poured onto the land, vegetation can grow like fertilizer." Wang Chonggu didn't know what it was, but he was very clear about its effect.

This phenomenon first started around the sedimentation tank. The vegetation near the sedimentation tank was much more prosperous than in other places. I originally thought it was because of the water. Later, the clear water after repeated circulation and sedimentation was sprinkled on the grass. It was found to be water and fertilizer.

The vegetation around the sedimentation tank is particularly lush. There is a big difference in growth between watering with clean water and watering with soot water, just like fertilizing.

Xishan Coal Bureau calls it water fertilizer.

Zhu Yijun was stunned, and after thinking for a moment, he knew what Wang Chonggu had cooked up, a low-concentration ammonia solution, which was ammonia fertilizer.

"Later on, we kept experimenting and built such a furnace." Wang Chonggu said while looking at the factory in front of him.

The workshop is a trial production. It is a one-foot-high rectangular earthen kiln built with bricks and stones. There is a kiln door every 2.5 feet, and coal carts can be pushed into it. There are seven kiln doors in an earthen kiln, and there are seven kiln doors between each kiln door. The fire wall is used to heat and maintain the temperature, which is scorched. Above each kiln chamber of the earth kiln, there are seven six-inch thick iron pipes arranged side by side. The iron pipes go deep into the cooling pool.

The bottom of the cooling ruler is densely covered with thin lead pipes. Outside the cooling pool, there are two upper and lower pipes. The upper pipe is waste gas, and the lower pipe goes straight into the pool to obtain water and fertilizer. The waste gas in the upper pipe passes through four three-foot-two-foot-high smoke towers. Water and fertilizer.

A total of two types of water and fertilizer are obtained.

"Open it and take a look." Zhu Yijun stood beside the pool in the lower pipe and said.

Wang Chonggu looked embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, let's see the effect next spring. This smell is very, very bad."

"Open it." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said.

Seeing that His Majesty refused to listen and insisted on taking a look, Wang Chonggu took three steps back and had someone open the cover of the sewer pipe to collect water and fertilizer.

Through the cotton mask, Zhu Yijun still smelled a pungent stench, like the disgusting stench after peeing on paper and lighting it on fire, and he almost vomited it out.

"Close, close!" Feng Bao immediately directed the craftsman to close the cover.

"Although it stinks, it is indeed a good thing. The water and fertilizer collected for the first time must be mixed with water before use, otherwise the seedlings will be burned." Zhu Yijun knows how to farm. Fertilization does not mean that more is better. If the seedlings are burned, the harvest will fail due to lack of fertilizer.

"Open the cover for the second collection." Zhu Yijun ordered the craftsman.

The second cover was opened, and Zhu Yijun took a slight sniff. It might be the smell of high-concentration ammonia the first time, which raised the threshold. The smell of low-concentration ammonia collected the second time was very bland, at least not nauseating.

Zhu Yijun nodded and motioned to the craftsman to cover it.

Sure, it's ammonia.

The ammonia collected for the first time was ammonia nitrogen gas after charred coal was cooled by the lead pipe and dissolved in the water in the collection pool to form ammonia. The concentration was high and the smell was extremely strong and even nauseating. The ammonia water collected the second time was It is ammonia in the tail gas, which is dissolved in water in the four absorption towers.

"Your Majesty, I also discovered that this thing can be made not only from coal, but also from coal gangue." Wang Chonggu introduced the production process. Coal gangue is a stone with less carbon content. It is used in coal washing and screening. It will be picked out when the time comes, and it cannot be burned, nor can it burn coke. It is usually used as a raw material for burning lime and cement.

After the workshop was completed, the Xishan Coal Bureau burned many strange things. Coal gangue was just one of them. Even the enamel from the ironworks was burned. The enamel could not be burned to produce water or fertilizer, but coal gangue was used. There are as many cheap things as mines require, which means that water and fertilizer can be mass-produced.

"Wang Cifu, where is the person who created this thing?" Zhu Yijun asked.

Wang Chonggu said to the confused Wang Qian next to him: "Go and call the great craftsman Wei Youshan."

"Okay!" Wang Qian quickly ran to call someone, and soon a swarthy craftsman came to His Majesty.

Wei Youshan, the ravines on his face are black and gray, and the palm prints and calluses on his palms are also black, full of traces of coal. He is from Shuntian Prefecture and an old kiln worker in Xishan. Before the Xishan Coal Bureau was established, he was already working in the Xishan Coal Bureau. Coal mining started in Xishan. After the Xishan Coal Bureau was established, he became the master of Meishan.

Great craftsman, great master, and great manager are all titles given to Wei Youshan. In charge of mining technology.

After Zhu Yijun inquired in detail, he said to Wang Chonggu: "The Technical Progress Award mentioned by Wang Cifu last time will be awarded to Wei Youshan this year."

There is no need to go into details about the significance of water and fertilizer. Daming is a typical agricultural country, and it is an agricultural country with a small farmer economy. The emergence of water and fertilizer and large-scale mass production represent the large-scale output of grain. The three largest coal and iron plants in the Ming Dynasty, Jingshi Coal As long as the iron factory, Shengzhou Coal and Iron Factory, and Womagang Coal and Iron Factory produce them on a large scale, the output of grain will be sufficient.

Everything else is nonsense. Having enough food for the people is everything.

There were only about 1.2 million Dingkou in the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty's million acres of land were used to support them, plus water and fertilizer. Zhu Yijun didn't dare to boast about Haikou, but he could still think about it.

"Okay." Zhu Yijun walked up to Wei Youshan, walked closer and said with a smile: "Wei Youshan, very good, the first Ming Dynasty Technology Progress Award belongs to you, and the award will be given after the year."

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Yijun said three times in a row and left Xishan Coal Bureau in a jade chariot.

Daming has not made it clear about the procedures for the Technological Progress Award, because it was only discussed verbally with Wang Chonggu before, and no one expected that technological progress worthy of the award would suddenly appear so quickly!
But it’s still too late. It’s not difficult for the Ministry of Rites to set up new etiquette. There are so many deviant things that the Ministry of Rites is used to.

"Your Majesty is really good at farming. I thought it was just a gesture." Wang Qian said in amazement. He didn't understand the meaning of water and fertilizer at all. Wang Chonggu gave instructions, held Wang Qian's ears, and took Wang Qian around the fields. In a circle.

An acre of land without fertilizers cannot produce even one hundred kilograms of grain, but land with compost can produce two hundred kilograms of grain. The land in the Ming Dynasty requires rotational cultivation, but with water and fertilizer, there is no need to plant beans in a year. The North China Plain, which has two crops, can grow grain twice a year, and Liaodong, which has one crop a year, can grow grain every year.

Two parts for planting, three parts for management, and one part for fertilizer. His Majesty has already practiced this principle when he was ten years old. Wang Qian is thirty-five years old and does not even understand the meaning of water and fertilizer.

Wang Chonggu demonstrated the production of water and fertilizer. His Majesty the Emperor did not even ask, but directly awarded the prize, because everyone who cultivates the land knows the importance of fertilizer. No matter how good the seeds are, no matter how hard-working the people are, without fertilizer it will be useless.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Your Majesty has been farming since he was ten years old and has never stopped for ten years. Xiyuan Baoqisi is the yamen located in the Forbidden Garden. There are only three outer court yamen in the palace. Wen Yuan Ge, Liu Ke Lang and Bao Qisi, do you think His Majesty is as ignorant as you?" Wang Chonggu slapped Wang Qian on the forehead and said nonsense.

Zhang Juzheng was so frustrated that he told His Majesty to abolish the cabinet? That is not the political model that Zhang Juzheng feels is wise enough to support the one-yuan dictatorship. It is the most efficient and, of course, the most tiring.

Wang Chonggu still remembers that His Majesty was wearing a short brown shirt and trousers. When he was harvesting sweet potatoes in Long Live Mountain, he said that anyone who said that Yang Bo was selfish was disloyal, disloyal to the world, disloyal to the country, disloyal to the emperor, and disloyal to one's own beliefs. You know, you are not loyal to your own spirituality. After Yang Bo returned to his hometown after becoming an official, he still felt sad about this sentence until he died of illness. Before he died, he repeated it to his son. If he was not loyal to his own knowledge and spirituality, he would be disrespectful to others. A lifetime of denial.

Yang Bo really died in depression.

Your Majesty's farming has caused a lot of troubles. Marriage and farming have never been empty words. He has been doing it for ten years. He even went to Gangmo to collect two acres of land the year before last. He has a deep understanding of how many people have to fight for their stuttering. Much hardship.

Wang Chonggu has always felt that the imperial court is too conservative in some policies, and he is always worried about the rebellion in the world. From Wang Chonggu's point of view, he can be bolder. With the iron triangle of His Majesty, Zhang Juzheng, and Qi Jiguang in power, who dares to rebel? It is better to bypass the intermediate link, find a rope to hang yourself, and go directly to hell.

The core of this iron triangle is the emperor.

Unless the emperor is like Li Longji one day and becomes complacent and starts to slack off or even starts fooling around, then there will be an opportunity.

Zhu Yijun was in a good mood. He hummed a ditty composed by Wang Yaozhuo and returned to the capital with a sunny smile. He sat at the long table in the imperial study room, still shaking his head. Even the memorials of the humble Confucians were read by Zhu Yijun. It was quite pleasing to the eye, and instead of reprimanding them, they encouraged them to walk more and see more, and to practice rather than just talk.

"Mrs. Zhongshun has come to Beijing again. She is still transporting wool to Beijing and plans to celebrate the New Year in the capital." Feng Bao mentioned that the third lady entered the court. Sanniangzi has a rather special status. She is a representative of the peace-making faction in the Northern Lu. Going to Beijing to meet the saint is an act of peace of mind for each other. This action represents the direction of the government.

"Let's arrange an audience with Mrs. Zhongshun." Zhu Yijun nodded and said. He picked up the memorial of the Third Lady and read it carefully.

Its content can be summarized as follows: Captive animal husbandry is the result of the high development of the planting industry.

Nomadic animal husbandry is the lowest production efficiency method in the animal husbandry industry, and it is far behind compared with fixed animal husbandry.

Sanniangzi thanked the emperor for his great grace and brought stability and peace to the grassland.
