My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 88: Catch beggars all over the city

"Old Fox."

After the cabinet meeting, Huang Kezhan walked out of the hall with a stiff expression.

He was aware of and approved of the emperor's moves.

Is the meeting held today to discuss whether the emperor's actions have benefited the people?

This is clearly for the six ministers to share the pot.

Han Xu clearly wanted to use the six ministers to suppress the courtiers who wrote to impeach Wei Zhongxian.

"Mr. Huang, something happened."

On the way back to the ministry, a clerk came to the sedan, opened the curtain and said.

"Zhang Heming, Zhang Shilang, asked Dongchang to take it. He has already entered Beizhen Fusi."

"Zhang Heming was taken away? Why?"

Hearing this, Huang Kezhan frowned, somewhat confused.

Is Dongchang so brave?

"Dongchang Fanzi said that Admiral Zhang Heming's command of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division was unfavorable. He was suspected of colluding with beggars and storming the camp with the intention of treason."

"understood."

After waving his hand for the clerk to leave, Huang Kezhan, who was sitting in the sedan chair, felt his heart beating wildly.

The beggars in the city are managed by the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, which is a yamen under the Ministry of War. Zhang Heming, the left minister, is in charge.

He knew that something big was going to happen in Yique's follow-up.

Sure enough, Huang Kezhan had just returned to the Yamen. After careful inquiry, he found that Dongchang Tiqi was already jumping all over the capital. Those who had written today to say that the emperor and the people were stealing profits had all been summoned for colluding with beggars and attacking the camp. Entered Beizhen Fusi.

At the same time, Jin Yiwei is cooperating with the Wucheng Military and Horse Division to catch beggars all over the city.

"Still not found?"

Sitting in the lobby of the Nancheng Army and Horse Division, Wei Zhongxian looked at the commander of the Nancheng Army and Horse Division, Zhao Yong, with a cold look on his face.

"Duke, we have arrested all the registered beggars in Nancheng, and almost all the homeless ones. We haven't found the one with the scar on his face that the Dude mentioned."

"boom!"

Beside Wei Zhongxian, Xu Xianchun slammed the tea cup in his hand on the table.

"Then please come to our North Town Fusi."

Xu Xianchun said, waving his hand to signal the school captain to take Chen Yong away.

"You are suspected of colluding with beggars, intending to storm the camp and take him away."

"Sir, there is no such thing as a small one... Wuwu~"

When Chen Yong heard that Xu Xianchun was going to throw himself into prison, he quickly defended himself.

Unfortunately, before he could finish his words, the captain next to him blocked his mouth with a rag.

Together with Wei Zhongxian and Xu Xianchun, they stood up and walked towards the outside of the Nancheng Army and Horses Department.

"Did any of those who wrote the letter confess?"

"No."

Hearing this, Xu Xianchun shook his head silently, with a look of confusion on his face.

Colluding with the refugees and attacking the camp, this is a crime that wants to punish the three tribes.

There had already been cases in which Feng Sanyuan and Gu Zao were beheaded alive. When they heard this charge, the civil servants' mouths became extremely hard. Ordinary torture was no longer effective.

"I'll go back and give it a good trial."

After getting on his horse, Xu Xianchun said to Wei Zhongxian who was still standing.

"Don't worry, father-in-law. If you want to see him alive, you will see his body if you die. I will definitely find this beggar spreading rumors this time."

"Ah."

Wei Zhongxian had a cold look on his face as he nodded to Xu Xianchun.

The emperor lived in Nanhaizi, which was very dangerous to some extent.

There are countless gaps in the 120-mile city wall of Nanhaizi, and someone could run in at any time.

When Liu Shimin handed him the list of court officials who wanted to impeach him, he pointed out in a subtle way that if there were any problems with those who submitted the letter immediately, they would all be dealt with, and an ironclad case would be made.

"What are these idiots like Jin Yiwei doing?"

Leaning at the entrance of the alley, Ding Xiu watched Wei Zhongxian get into the carriage surrounded by a group of royal guards, somewhat confused.

"The two emperors have changed, and the Imperial Guard has become more energetic."

"What are you doing?" At this moment, several Jinyi guards saw Ding Xiu, who was dressed like a beggar, and surrounded him.

"Damn."

Seeing these Jin Yiwei with evil eyes, Ding Xiu no longer dared to lean against the wall to bask in the sun, and ran into the alley.

"stop!"

In the evening, the noise caused by Wei Zhongxian and Xu Xianchun in the capital reached Zhu Youxiao's ears.

There were several gongs placed in front of him, and Zhu Youzheng was tapping them randomly with chopsticks.

Putting down the chopsticks in his hands, Zhu Youxiao looked at Liu Shimin and asked.

"The Five Cities Soldiers and Horse Guards are catching beggars all over the city?"

"Back to your lord, Jin Yiwei is looking for the man who paid the money to hire a beggar to go to Nanhai Ziyi Palace. There is a lot of noise."

Liu Shimin looked at the emperor in front of him and was a little confused. He didn't know where the emperor was singing.

Boom!
After tapping the copper again, Zhu Youxiao looked at Liu Shimin and said.

"Since they are homeless beggars with no land or houses. Now that they have been arrested, they will be sent to the west to dig coal."

"If you work hard, you can become a miner. The wages will be the same as those of the miners in Xishan."

"If you don't work hard, you will starve to death."

"Slaves take orders."

Looking at Liu Shimin leaving, Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes.

When a loving father encounters this kind of thing, he should be immediately shocked.

He still can't be cruel.

Manpower is a precious resource. When it grows so big, food cannot be wasted.

Boom!
After knocking the gong again casually, Zhu Youxiao finally felt the helplessness of not having a royal dynasty during the Jiajing period.

There are too many constraints.

There is a serious shortage of officials in the imperial court now. Whenever something happens, a bunch of memorials come up.

If all the officials of the imperial court were to make up for this, the memorial would not be buried alive.

"No, we have to speed up and separate the center from the local areas."

After wandering around the lobby for a while, Zhu Youxiao made up his mind.

Thinking like this, Zhu Youxiao dug out Nanhaizi's design drawings.

The Sifang official residence has been outlined, and the ground is almost flat.

"We can't let it sit idle in the winter. We have to get started burning bricks and cement."

Taking out a piece of white paper, Zhu Youxiao began to write down the key points of burning cement.

Soap cement glass.

Three treasures for time-travelers to make a fortune.

But making soap these days is just a fool's errand. The indispensable ingredient for making soap is oil. Whether it is vegetable oil or animal oil, it is not available on a large scale. The big soldiers in Nanhaizi don't have enough oil intake.

And glass. . .Don’t even think about it after Zheng He’s strict selection.

Daming glass is worthless, that’s not nonsense.

According to the record in "The Original Meeting of Things" compiled by Wang Ji: The eunuchs of the Three Treasures went to the West and came to China with people who burned Boguan. Therefore, Chinese Boguan was cheap, and those who burned were angry and light.

So one thing to remember is that what Zheng He brought back may not be delicious, but what he didn’t bring back must not be delicious.

Therefore, currently only cement can be used.

Cement is divided into ordinary Portland cement, slag Portland cement, pozzolanic Portland cement, fly ash Portland cement and composite Portland cement.

As you can tell from the name, the main ingredient of this thing is silicate.

Thanks to his father who teaches chemistry, his chemistry is pretty good.

Limestone, sandstone, iron powder and other materials are ground and calcined according to a certain proportion. After the material is made, a certain amount of gypsum (hydrated calcium sulfate) is added, and mixed and ground again.

As for the ratio of ingredients to ingredients, you can always try it out by running a few more stoves and trying slowly.

Producing cement will not only greatly improve the progress of the Nanhaizi project next year, but will also be of greater use in the future.

These can be used for building villages, water conservancy projects, and roads in Liaodong.

ps: I owe you another chapter, I’ve had a busy day today.
