Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 171 Events
Wrought iron was forged.

Looking at the black iron bumps in front of him, Ye Xun couldn't hide the ecstasy in his eyes. In the era of cold weapons, no one understood what the birth of this kind of wrought iron meant, and once a cannon or musket made of wrought iron entered the battlefield, it would inevitably It will completely change the situation of the war, and the industrial revolution will also come ahead of schedule.

"Come here, take 5000 taels of silver"

Before, Ye Xun said that the reward was three thousand, but now that he was happy, he directly increased the reward by two thousand.

The creases on Andis and Piero's smiling faces were about to open, and they couldn't stop thanking them. Now they don't want to go back to the capital anymore, and they will not only have a lot of money to follow this magical Eunuch Ye Earn without worrying about security issues at all.

If there is a God, they believe that Ye Xun must have been sent by God to save them.

"Look at your talents. You can do this with such a small amount of money. If you can use this kind of iron to make cannons and barrels for guns, I will reward you with another 1 taels. How about it? Are you confident?"

Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man, these foreign devils are more greedy than the Chinese people, but after hearing Ye Xun's words, the two of them did not show any surprise on their faces.

Piero said bitterly: "Honorable Master Ye, it's not that we don't want to make it, it's just that the workshop here is too simple, and it took a lot of effort to refine this small piece of wrought iron. The fine iron that can be used to make cannons must first remodel the boiler, and also need larger containers and molds. It is impossible to get these things out in a year or so.”

Hearing this, Ye Xun understood a little. It has been a few days since he brought these two people back to Liaodong. It has been refined a long time ago, and the reason why it has been delayed until now must have encountered equipment problems as they said.

Now that the wrought iron has come out, but Chen Tienu's Bailiandao has not moved, obviously the craftsmanship of that thing is more complicated than this.

Withdrawing his mind, he said: "I will give you time, and I will advance you 5000 taels of silver in advance. You can use this money to purchase anything you need. If you don't have enough money, ask me for it. My only purpose is to get the new style as soon as possible. Get the cannon out, and promise your church, and I will explain it when I come back this time. I hope that when the church is completed, you can use the cannon as a salute to fire for your church."

Ye Xun's words really moved the two foreign devils, imitating the appearance of the Han people, they cupped their fists and bowed deeply to Ye Xun, saying: "Don't worry, Lord Ye, we will definitely live up to your expectations."

Smile and pat them on the shoulder for encouragement, then let them get on with their work.

Ye Xun is famous for his generosity, but no one has ever thought that Ye Xun's money is really inexhaustible?
As a traveler, Ye Xun certainly understands the importance of the circulation of money. He is now vigorously promoting commerce, which is to allow money to circulate. There are more shops, and the government's taxation has also increased, but this is still the tip of the iceberg.

There are more merchants coming and going, but the chain benefits brought about are immeasurable. Inns, restaurants, brothels, and even bicycle shops, etc. will all be driven, and these aspects are also taxed.

Take Piero and Andis as an example. Although Ye Xun rewarded them a lot, not everything is free. Going out to drink flowers, buy something you like, etc., you have to spend your own money. .

And the money went around and went around, and it would end up in Ye Xun's pocket. To put it seriously, Ye Xun was embezzling public funds, but who made him powerful!There is an emperor behind him, and there are 10,000+ troops under his command willing to die for him. How dare the blind man take care of his business?
Don't tell me, there are people who are not afraid of death. The current Liaodong officialdom is not as harmonious as it appears on the surface. The undercurrent is turbulent, and the voice of falling leaves has already spread to the capital.

Looking at what Ye Xun has done since his crossing, he has indeed won the unanimous support of the army and the people of Liaodong, but at the same time he has offended a large number of people.

These people are the aristocratic families headed by Generals. In the past, before Ye Xun appeared, these people relied on illegal methods such as deceiving the court, eating empty salaries, drinking soldiers' blood, etc., and their families made ditches full of trenches.

Since Ye Xun took office, he has filled up the vacant quota in the army and strictly investigated the illegal behavior of embezzling the Mexican army's salary. This is tantamount to cutting off their source of income.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. These people now have the heart to swallow Ye Xun alive, and they hate Ye Xun even more than the Jurchens.

If Ye Xun was just an ordinary eunuch or civil servant or military general, these people would have attacked him long ago, but Ye Xun's martial arts are unfathomable, and he will buy people's hearts. There is no way to start, and even have to be careful to prevent Ye Xun from attacking them.

Regardless of whether these guys are fighting shit or not, they are greedy for ink and gossip, especially when they find out that Ye Xun is more greedy than them, they immediately start to collect various evidences, and prepare to go to the emperor to sue Ye Xun .

Ye Xun's main energy was spent on the army, and his qualifications in Liaodong were still relatively young after all, so he didn't know anything about these small actions of civil and military officials.

Although Cheng Yu is a civil servant, he is busier than Ye Xun. A person who is dedicated to doing practical things, how can he have time to pay attention to those things?
The first person to know about this was Zhang Quan, the inspector censor. In the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, the inspector censor also had a lot of authority. His authority had a lot in common with the guarding eunuch, that is, they both had the power of supervision.

Although Zhang Quan can't control Ye Xun, he has the right to submit a memorial alone, and his memorial is definitely stronger than ordinary officials, so officials have been urging him to submit a memorial to impeach Ye Xun recently.

This is also what makes Zhang Quan difficult. Zhang Quan is not the kind of master who opens his eyes and tells nonsense. He has witnessed the stability and prosperity Ye Xun brought to Liaodong. Is there any problem with the officer?No one is perfect!
After careful consideration, Zhang Quan decided to have a face-to-face talk with Ye Xun. Before he arrived at Ye Xun's residence, he suddenly saw a large group of soldiers pouring into the streets, blocking all major traffic routes, and began arresting suspects .

Seeing this, Zhang Quan couldn't help feeling very puzzled, what's wrong?Could it be that Jiannu called?
Because of the victory ahead, the Jurchen iron cavalry is no better than Fushun, so there should be no enemy!

He sent someone over to inquire, but the result surprised Zhang Quan. It turned out that someone hijacked Ye Xun's two favorite concubines.

The story about these two concubines has already been spread in Liaodong. It is said that a dignitary in the dynasty fell in love with them, and then died at home for no reason. Although there is no evidence that Ye Xun did it, people are willing to spread the word For this kind of thing, Eunuch Ye's people dare to make up their minds, who will die if you don't die?
Now someone hijacked them, who has such courage?
