Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

Then, he rushed towards this side with a fierce look in his eyes.

Chapter 532: It’s better not to have this beauty!

This brown bear weighs at least 700 to 800 kilograms, like a mountain of flesh. Even the surrounding trees sway as it runs.

Seeing this, Man Gui subconsciously stood in front of Zhu Youxiao and casually adjusted Chengying to continuous firing mode.

At the same time, Wu Sangui had already pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

The continuous sound of gunfire frightened the charging brown bear so much that it staggered.

The huge body, under the action of inertia, braked on its face in an instant.

That posture made Zhu Youxiao feel pain...

Ergui emptied his magazine, but was speechless to find that they had successfully advanced from a chicken body outlining master to a bear body outlining master.

At a distance of less than a hundred meters, each man had a magazine with a full hundred bullets, but they failed to hurt the brown bear at all.

Zhu Youxiao was about to raise his gun when he heard a gunshot from the woods on the right.

"boom!"

“Ah….”

As the gunshot rang out, the brown bear's screams rang out at the same time.

A wound as big as a bowl, with a mass of black tissue, fell from the black bear's head.

The next moment, the black bear changed direction and fled into the depths of the dense forest, running at a speed that was totally inconsistent with its size!

Turning his head to look in the direction of the gunshot, he saw Prince Xin, Li Dingguo and others coming from another direction.

Zhu Youxiao was greatly surprised to see Prince Xin loading the dragon tongue rope while walking.

"Did you fire that shot just now?"

Prince Xin shook his head with a look of regret: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, my brother. My spear skills are still too poor."

Zhu Youxiao walked with a smile to the place where the brown bear had been shot. After looking around, he found the tissue that had been knocked off the brown bear under a tree.

It's an ear tip!

This result made him look at Prince Xin with a new respect.

"It's already pretty good. If it's a little bit higher, this guy will have to go to the kitchen today."

Prince Xin was not very satisfied. He sighed and stared at the direction where the brown bear escaped.

"After all, it's still a little short. Please wait a moment, my royal brother. I will definitely let you eat the bear's paw today!"

After saying that, he got up and chased after him.

But Zhu Youxiao shook his head and smiled, "Okay, no need to chase."

"Since it's off, that's its fate."

"Ergui failed to hit it, but you injured it. You win today's hunt!"

The two reasons for coming out this time are, first, to relax, and second, to test out the gun. As for prey and the like, I'll just take things as they come.

Hearing him say this, Li Dingguo beside Prince Xin was instantly overjoyed.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that I can go west with Prince Xin after the new year?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded.

"That's right!"

"After tomorrow's morning court session, an imperial decree will be sent to the Shenji Camp."

Li Dingguo knelt on one knee and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

"Okay, it's getting late, let's go back to Beijing!"

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and turned to walk down the mountain.

Prince Xin had the weapons for his journey to the west, but he still needed to prepare the personnel.

Once I leave, I may not be able to come back for three to five years, so I have to take all possible situations into consideration.

They went down the mountain and joined up with the three thousand cavalrymen at Niulan Mountain, and returned to the capital in a mighty procession.

Subsequently, an imperial edict was issued.

The next day, the morning court was moved from Huangji Hall to Yangxin Hall.

The officials who attended the morning court also looked somewhat different from before.

There are only cabinet ministers, six ministries and three dukes and nine ministers.

The weather was really too cold, and Zhu Youxiao wasn't sure whether the officials could stand holding court outside the Huangji Hall. At least, he himself couldn't stand it!

It's so damn cold...

The court meetings were held every three days, and the purpose was mostly to listen to reports from people below.

And when it comes to making real decisions, there is only this small group of people in front of us.

After the king and his subjects exchanged greetings, Wen Tiren spoke first.

"Your Majesty, I suggest splitting up the Zhengcunba factory area!"

"First, there are more and more boilers in use in the factory area, and the demand for coal and water is also increasing."

"The coal mines near the capital alone are no longer enough to meet demand. If we transport coal from other places, it will cost a lot."

"Secondly, I went to the factory yesterday and learned that a new gun had been launched."

"I believe that the production of Chengying and Longshe must be separated from other things to prevent them from being leaked!"

"Especially the production of bullets and guncotton, the Royal Guards must guard it day and night!"

"In addition, the firearms and artillery equipped to the army must also be strictly guarded and must not be leaked."

"I have discussed this with the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple. Please, Your Majesty, issue an order to allow the addition of criminal laws!"

"Anyone in the military who privately resells firearms and artillery!"

"Anyone who deliberately seeks out methods of making firearms, or privately manufactures or possesses firearms or artillery!"

"Any craftsman in the factory who has collusion with outsiders!"

"Dang, Yi San Chu!"

Zhu Youxiao only had two words in his mind after hearing this: "Approved!"

He knew better than these ministers what consequences the proliferation of firearms would cause.

If it is not strictly controlled, it will cause big trouble sooner or later.

After Wen Tihen, the Minister of Rites Meng Shaoyu stepped forward and bowed.

"Your Majesty!"

"Yesterday, Kong Shangru, Kong Yanxian, and Kong Wenyi visited me at my home, saying that they wanted to reinterpret the Confucian classics in the name of the Kong family."

Huh~

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.

They failed the exams two days ago, but they still haven’t given up!

After thinking for a moment, he said to Meng Shaoyu.

"Tell them!"

"If you want to be a beauty, you must have the awareness of being a beauty!"

"Learn carefully what the Three Obediences and Four Virtues are, and what the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues are!"

"Otherwise, this beauty is better off gone!"

Confucianism first came to the fore after being packaged by Dong Zhongshu, who dressed it up as a beautiful beauty and married it to Emperor Wu of Han.

This led to the later policy of promoting Confucianism as the only school of thought and rejecting all other schools of thought.

And because of this, the Kong family enjoyed endless wealth and prosperity!

But over the past thousands of years, they have long forgotten what the beauty looked like!

From a virtuous lady, she suddenly turned into a jealous woman who only knew how to fight for fame and fortune!

Zhu Youxiao's words made all the officials present feel nervous.

We are all educated people, who doesn’t understand the meaning of this statement?

These words are not just for the Kong family to hear!

I am also saying these things to them!

Everyone bowed in unison and shouted in unison.

"Our emperor is wise and wise, and we, the ministers, will obey his orders!"

Afterwards, Guo Yunhou and Wu Chunfu came out one after another and reported some trivial matters.

When everyone indicated that they had said everything they needed to say, Zhu Youxiao finally spoke.

"Now that you have finished speaking, it's my turn!"

"Prince Xin will travel west after the new year. You all know this."

"This trip will be filled with trivial matters."

“So the people accompanying us also need to be involved in all aspects.”

"Ministry of War, dispatch 8,000 elite troops from the Divine Machine Battalion to accompany us!"

"Jinyiwei, select 3,000 Tiqi, and have them carry telegrams in groups of ten, and set up relay stations along the way!"

"The Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Revenue must also send people to accompany us."

“Both personnel and supplies must be fully prepared before the New Year!

"The importance of this trip to the west is no less than that of the three treasures' voyage to the West. I hope everyone will be alert and not bring down the prestige of our Ming Dynasty!"

Chapter 533: Remove Zero to Make the Account Easier

After the court was adjourned, when Wen Tihen and the six ministers returned home, they began to prepare according to Zhu Youxiao's orders.

The Ministry of Rites was busy selecting accompanying officials, and the Ministry of Works was busy selecting craftsmen with superb skills.

But Guo Yunhou stopped halfway on his way back to the Ministry of Revenue.

As the Minister of Revenue, he was very clear about one thing.

That is, Ming Dynasty's goods are very popular in the countries in the Western Regions.

Whether it is tea, porcelain, silk or medicinal materials, as long as they can be transported to the Western Regions, they can be sold at several times the price of the Ming Dynasty.

And this is also the main reason why Western merchants came to Ming Dynasty from afar!

Prince Xin travels west...

This might be an opportunity!

An opportunity for the Ministry of Households to make money!

It would have been impossible for the Ministry of Revenue to engage in business in previous years.

Not to mention the emperor, he couldn't even pass the test of the officials in the court.

But now, the officials and the emperor had no objections, but there was still a problem facing Guo Yunhou.

manpower!

If we only target the officials in the Ministry of Revenue, they can't even do business abroad without hindrance in the country!

Otherwise, he would not have signed a note to rent the Jinyiwei when he was in Shanxi.

But it was precisely the incident of renting the Jinyiwei that made Guo Yunhou understand one thing.
