MTL - Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty-v2 Chapter 1723 People's fat and people's ointment
Chapter 1723 People's fat and people's ointment
Fang Jifan said with emotion: "Your Majesty, although the female doctor Liang is my apprentice, your majesty knows the subject. This person has always been virtuous and not avoiding relatives, and is impartial. This female doctor Liang needs to be accompanied at all times. The empress dowager served her, but at the same time, she also had to accompany her. Many of the female officials and maids in the palace could not read big characters, so they had no knowledge, but female doctor Liang was quite knowledgeable. Her identity was As a medical officer, by the Queen Mother's side, he can always chat with her to relieve boredom, if His Majesty raises her status a bit, it will be even better."
Zhu Houzhao put his hands behind his back, and said smoothly: "This is easy to handle, make her a noble concubine!"
Fang Jifan thinks that Zhu Houzhao is a traitor, this **** seals up officials and makes wishes everywhere, the king today, the imperial concubine tomorrow...
Fang Jifan glared at Zhu Houzhao: "..."
Zhu Houzhao himself was happy: "Haha, of course, I don't dare, I know you are close to her, a gentleman doesn't take what others like, so give her a first-rank imperial order."
As he spoke, something suddenly flashed across Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and then suspicion and suspicion appeared in his eyes, staring at Fang Jifan: "Old Fang, you are a son-in-law, you...couldn't you..."
Fang Jifan glared at him and said, "What does your Majesty mean by this? Your Majesty must not be suspicious. I am a member of the Women's Association."
The women's association was very new in Beijing recently. A group of women who came out and started to earn money began to feel resentment at the men's three wives and four concubines, so... this guild advocating monogamy was born, and many women Everyone is involved. Although the troubles are not getting better now, it is still not in a good mood, but... It seems that society has begun to change a little bit.
This has always been the case in this world. When women come out to work and can support themselves, they are naturally unwilling to be vassals.
And Fang Jifan was honored to be the only man in the women's association, because...he is in favor of monogamy with both feet.
As a person who has broken away from vulgar tastes, a noble person, and a man of insight who has lived for two generations, Fang Jifan gritted his teeth when he saw those dogs with wives and concubines, wishing to tear them into pieces to relieve his hatred.
To a certain extent, Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao are deadly opponents in this position.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Fang Jifan with a contemptuous look, and then turned his mouth: "What about the Zhang family brothers, call them back?"
Mentioning this, Fang Jifan sighed: "It's useless to call them back, why don't we let them suffer outside."
"Oh." Zhu Houzhao nodded and nodded: "I don't bother to pay attention to them, but this railway... has already started construction, but I don't know why. I am really worried. It costs so much money. This is an unprecedented large project. Once If there is a mistake, it will be bad, I will really become Emperor Sui Yang, and you will be a big traitor."
Zhu Houzhao is looking forward to this railway. Once the railway is completed, it will mean countless wealth, as well as the acceleration of information and logistics. This will bring about earth-shaking changes for the entire Ming Dynasty.
Fang Jifan couldn't help but trembled when he heard Zhu Houzhao's words, and said: "Your Majesty, I must take good care of your Majesty, and nothing will go wrong."
Zhu Houzhao nodded in satisfaction.
Next, the biggest excitement in Beijing was that a large number of newcomers appeared, mighty and mighty, countless people marched separately, and were immediately assigned to various armies to wait for orders.
Xishan Medical College is crazy busy.
Because a large number of people arrive and stay in one place, it is most likely to breed diseases. All recruits need to be screened by medical schools. To be clean and tidy, no sewage is required, and alcohol and other things should be distributed in each barracks for cleaning.
Zhou Yi returned to the capital again, but when he returned to his hometown, he was still penniless, but now, he has married a wife and has become the pillar of the family, with the status of a non-commissioned officer on his body. One can imagine the mood when the robes and zemen came back one after another.
Ninety-nine out of ten veterans of the former First Army have returned.
Immediately afterwards, they were reorganized, and then Zhou Yi was assigned to the third army.
The veterans of the First Army brought a small group of troops back to live in the army after a long absence. Of course, he got acquainted with it very quickly, but those new recruits who came with longing soon discovered that they were sent, It's not a good life at all. Although there is meat to eat, what follows is endless suffering.
Looking at these soldiers who were in great pain and trained for a whole morning, each of them looked like a dead dog, Zhou Yi couldn't help snickering, thinking that he was like them back then.
Of course...the only difference is that these rookies are much more confident than the former officers and soldiers of the First Army. Sons of a good family, they are often not inferior to themselves, and the family generally does not have to worry about starving to death. In addition, when they joined the army, what they carried was the hope of the whole family or the whole village. Therefore, although they endured hardship, they were still proud in their hearts.
They are proud to be able to enter the army. The endless torture in this army is certainly hopeless, but they do not lose hope for the future.
Big camps everywhere, full of murderous looks, and trumpets sounding again and again.
Wang Shouren, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, inspected the camps and urged drills.
Standing Army...everything is starting to fall into place.
…
Railway construction has begun.
In Luoyang... a group of craftsmen have arrived, and immediately... a large number of merchants, personnel from the steam research institute, have arrived, and the local prefectures and counties have quickly prepared water and wine for rewards.
When they learned that ... here, several iron-making workshops and several timber processing workshops need to be built here, the local parents and officials murmured that it was such a trouble to lay iron on the ground.
Fortunately...these people have money, not to mention...the merchants flocked here, longing to be able to purchase and get orders.
The iron kiln was built very quickly. At the same time, the land began to level out. After passing the inspection, the rails from the workshop were pulled by a horse-drawn cart and laid.
Engineers wearing rattan hats are always writing and drawing with charcoal pencils, and those who wear glasses and carry triangular equipment travel around mountains and mountains.
Luoyang people think it is very rare, and have never seen such a posture.
The person in charge here is Wu Xiong, the great engineer of Xishan Jianye. Wu Xiong has been in charge of Xishan Jianye's projects for many years. In 2010, he also presided over the construction of a theater, and since then...he has been in charge of the construction of the railway. Now, the Luoyang section is in his hands.
In this era, because steam cars can't run fast, the requirements for railways are not high, but even so, this is by no means a worry-free thing.
This is a big project, every place needs to be careful.
On this day, Wu Xiong was busy running around, but at this moment, someone came, panting, and said anxiously: "It's not good, it's not good."
"What's the matter?" Wu Xiong looked at the guy in a hurry, and he couldn't help feeling angry, and his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that there was an accident in the project? If so, then...
"The two uncles are coming. They have just passed the Xingyang section, and the Xingyang section has been turned upside down. Seeing them coming to the west, I specially sent an urgent report. Today... almost here..."
Wu Xiong suddenly felt dizzy, and the two uncles came... This is even worse than an accident in the project!
You know, these two uncles...in Xishan Jianye's interior, they have turned pale after talking about it, and they are living like the king of Hades.
Wu Xiong hurriedly said: "Hurry up, hurry up... spread the news to all the workshops, don't make any troubles at this time, and... calculate the accounts again, don't make any mistakes, and there are people... from now on , if anyone is loitering inside and outside the construction site and catches it, don’t blame me for being rude, come... come... bring the blueprints, from today on, I won’t sleep, I will read the blueprints. Oh, yes, my clothes Change it too, you can’t wear silk, the last time someone wore silk and was scolded bloody, find a commoner, preferably one with lice and patches..."
…
When Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling came, Wu Xiong was playing with catching lice while writing and drawing on engineering drawings with a charcoal pencil.
The two brothers walked around the construction site first, just like ordinary people watching, and then came.
This journey... Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling lived in the open air, and they were already dirty. Zhang Heling's clothes had many patches. He stroked his long messy beard, and his eyes seemed to be able to see everything.
Zhang Yanling's feet are a little weak, he is hungry, he has only eaten a few steamed cakes along the way, there is no oil in his stomach, and he is not hungry, so that when he walks, it is like a piece of paper, which makes people worry He was blown away by the wind.
"Well…"
"Who are you?" Wu Xiong was deliberately surprised, with the expression he should have when a stranger he didn't know broke into his public room.
Zhang Heling sneered and said: "Don't pretend, you knew we would come, and you thought I wouldn't know that Xingyang had informed you?"
"This... this..." Wu Xiong was taken aback, as expected... his reputation is well-deserved.
So he immediately got up and wanted to salute.
Zhang Heling ignored him, as if everyone in the world owed him money, strode forward, snatched the blueprint from the desk in front of Wu Xiong, and then... began to examine it with straight eyes.
Zhang Yanling tilted his head to look left and right, and saw an apple on the desk, so he got angry, stepped forward and patted the table: "Dog thing, Min Zhi Min Gao, you still eat apples? Where's your conscience?"
Wu Xiong: "I..."
…
There is still one hour until the new month. I hope that students who have votes will not waste it. Vote for Tiger, thank you!
