MTL - Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao-Chapter 25 All sent to jail, those who should raid their homes!
Chapter 25 All sent to prison, the ones who should raid their homes!
Looking at this scene, Zhang Gui thought that after he came to Daming, the struggle between the emperor and the scholar-officials had obviously intensified.
This is the second time that Yan Guan has been killed.
Tianqi looked at Sun Chengzong calmly at this time: "Master Sun, did the uncle Zhang Gui really not shoddy when supplying fat jackets for the frontier army?"
Sun Chengzong cupped his hands: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Uncle Guo did not shoddy the second one! All the fat jackets he made were made of real materials, and they were better than the original ones. Even the cotton was made of new cotton. .”
Tianqi has always trusted Sun Chengzong.
Thus, after Sun Chengzong said this, Tian Qi looked at Zhang Gui in surprise, and asked someone to fetch such a fat jacket.
After Tianqi watched it, he remained silent for a while, and finally said to Zhang Gui: "You and I go back to Xiyuan to see your sister."
"yes!"
Zhang Gui replied.
Then, Tianqi said to Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Yang Lian: "You should report the details of this inspection of the fat jacket as soon as possible."
"yes!"
Sun Chengzong and others also replied.
Next, Zhang Gui and Tian Qi returned to Xiyuan.
After returning to Xiyuan, Tianqi said to Zhang Gui: "I'm afraid you will lose money if you make such a fat jacket?"
Zhang Gui replied: "Return to Your Majesty, I did not lose money, but earned some."
Tian Qi smiled: "How could that be?"
Zhang Gui asked someone to go to the mansion to get the account books.
Tianqi agreed, and asked someone to follow Zhang Gui back to the house to get the account books.
Tianqi stood up after watching it, and was very surprised: "Sure enough, I made money! But it's just, how did you do it?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, His Majesty is actually responsible for this!"
Zhang Gui replied.
Tianqi sat back and said, "Talk about it."
"Because the loom and spinning machine that I asked His Majesty to try really greatly improved the efficiency of weaving and spinning, and also made the cotton weave denser! And your Majesty's successful trial of the loom and spinning machine It can also be produced in large quantities, so it is possible to produce such a good fat jacket in such a short period of time, so that the fat jackets obtained by the frontier army are good enough, and the ministers can still make money even if they use real materials. Considering that it is not easy for the border guards to guard the border, even if you use new cotton, you can still make money."
Zhang Gui reported.
Tianqi nodded after hearing this: "This should be the function of what you call industrial products."
"What your Majesty said is that this is indeed an industrial product. If we can continue to produce such looms and spinning machines in large quantities, maybe we can use better fat jackets for all the frontier troops in Ming Dynasty, while at the same time reducing the production of fat jackets." The cost of the coat."
Zhang Gui returned and said: "It's just that if you want to do this, you need a lot of money."
Tianqi asked at this time: "Don't you have twenty thousand taels of silver in your account?"
Zhang Guidao: "This is the silver that I intend to use for steelmaking, and it cannot be moved."
Tian Qi asked after hearing this: "Wei Zhongxian didn't give you money?"
Zhang Gui glanced at Wei Zhongxian and shook his head.
"Wei Zhongxian!"
After speaking, Tian Qi suddenly snarled.
Wei Zhongxian rushed over, prostrated himself on the ground, and said tremblingly: "The emperor is angry! The servant is trying to raise money, please rest assured, the servant promises to increase the inner court's money within a month, and promises to give a sum of money to the uncle of the country." !"
"Hurry up!"
"Zhang Gui himself has earned 20,000 taels, why haven't you increased the income for the inner court, why is your supervisor of ceremonies not as good as Wang An?"
Apocalypse said.
Wei Zhongxian heard Tianqi's words, like Jiao Lei rang in his ears, and hurriedly promised: "Your servant will be a country, no, with Huo Weihua's head as a guarantee, within a month, the inner court will definitely increase its money!"
"Get up."
Tian Qi smiled slightly and said.
"yes!"
Wei Zhongxian stood up and wiped the sweat from his brow.
Obviously, the fact that Zhang Gui now earns 20,000 taels by making fat jackets has put a lot of pressure on Wei Zhongxian to make money.
Tianqi then said to Zhang Gui: "Your idea just now is very good. If my Tianqi loom and spinning machine are really industrial products with such advantages, we should indeed expand production. The army is not downsizing because of freezing to death. But I am afraid that money alone is not enough. Once such industrial products are used on a large scale, it will take advantage of many big households, and soldiers are needed.”
Zhang Gui replied: "What your majesty said is that if you want to make industrial products benefit the country and the people, you must have soldiers to protect you. What's more, now that the Ming Dynasty is facing internal and external troubles, your majesty needs his own soldiers."
"But I don't know which soldiers and horses I can trust right now."
Tian Qi nodded, said something, and then asked Zhang Gui: "You were a commoner before your sister was appointed as the middle palace, but have you heard of any official who is loyal and does not harm the people?"
Zhang Gui replied: "Recently, in the frontier army near Xifengkou where I have supplied fat jackets, the general Man Gui can be trusted. He is loyal, brave and general."
Tianqi therefore said after hearing this: "I can give him a chance, Wei Zhongxian, pass on my will, and let this Mangui enter Beijing to serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp."
Then, Tianqi said to Zhang Gui: "However, the Beijing camp has already had a battalion and no soldiers. When he comes, he has no soldiers to bring. Let him stay in your mansion first and train you servants! You make a large number of industrial products , It is true that soldiers are needed to protect him, so naturally he must have a servant, and by the way, I will also see if he is really capable of training soldiers."
"Follow the order!"
Wei Zhongxian and Zhang Gui replied together.
Tian Qi smiled, and then told Zhang Gui: "Go and see your sister, she has been worried about you."
"yes!"
Zhang Gui left Tianqi's Qinzheng Hall.
After Zhang Gui left, Tian Qi called Wei Zhongxian over again, and said earnestly: "You should have seen it too, Zhang Gui has a real heart, and he can make more money with ordinary fat jackets, but he just wants to make more money first." Make the best fat jacket for the frontier army. The officials impeached him, and I didn’t see him ask me to make decisions for him. I took the initiative to make decisions for him. I still consider you and the inner court. I would rather come up with new looms by myself. The spinning machine came to make money, and I didn't force you much. You can't ignore what he wants to do for the court just because he is honest!"
"Is Zhang Gui serious?"
"If Zhang Gui's heart is real, our family may be regarded as a simple and honest person."
Wei Zhongxian slandered unconvinced.
But Wei Zhongxian didn't expect the emperor to think so, but he didn't dare to refute, so he could only forcefully reply with a smile: "What the emperor said is that uncle Guo is too real, so he always suffers. If you say it, slaves will also remember it." Living."
Tianqi said again: "You can't just remember, you have to be careful! I know you are smarter than him, you should help him deal with those traitors, and don't let people impeach him casually!"
"Privately speaking, he is my brother-in-law and a relative of the Ming Dynasty. If he is impeached and slandered casually, it means that you are not a good slave!"
"From a public point of view, he makes industrial products to benefit the country and the people. For the sake of the society of Ming Dynasty, you have to bear more for him!"
"You have to let others know that whoever messes with him is messing with you. No, it's worse than messing with yourself. It's equivalent to killing your parents, understand?"
"Your servant understands! Please rest assured, the emperor, I will never let anyone dare to mess with Uncle Guo again, and I will try my best to get money to make industrial products for Uncle Guo."
Wei Zhongxian replied with a smile.
Tianqi nodded in satisfaction: "Go."
"Slaves leave!"
After Wei Zhongxian left Tianqi's place, he came directly to Han Yu's place.
As soon as he arrived, Wei Zhongxian asked in a hurry: "Master Ge, have Sun Chengzong, Xu Guangqi, and Yang Lian submitted the memorabilia for investigating the matter of the frontier army's fat jackets being shoddy?"
"Handed it up."
Han Yu replied.
Wei Zhongxian asked: "Then how did Mr. Ge draw up the vote?"
Han Yu replied: "The matter involves the cabinet ministers and my soldiers (Shangshu of the Ministry of War), it is not easy to deal with it directly. The ticket plans to let them go to the memorial first to defend themselves."
Wei Zhongxian sneered: "Is there still a need to argue about the evidence? The three imperial envoys are investigating the case on behalf of the emperor, and what they have found is still need to be argued?"
Han Yu immediately understood that his proposal was obviously not in line with Wei Zhongxian's intentions, so he asked, "What does the factory owner mean?"
"All the criminals involved in the case will be sentenced to prison, and those who should be ransacked!"
Wei Zhongxian said.
Han Yu was shocked after hearing this: "The factory owner thinks twice, doing so will cause shocks in the government and the public."
"We must do this, if we don't, how can our family increase our internal money within a month! Maybe, we should go to Nanhaizi like Wang An!"
Wei Zhongxian said in a non-negotiable tone.
Han Yu hesitated.
Wei Zhongxian said bluntly: "Why is Mr. Ge hesitating? You can push this matter to our family. Our family doesn't care so much now! But if you don't do this, there are people who are willing to come to the Xiyuan cabinet Instead of Mr. Ge."
Han Yan could only say after hearing this: "Okay! I will re-draw the ticket now."
