"Han Yu ......" Chongzhen seemed to be pondering this person.

After the fall of Ma Shiying, the former secretary of the Ministry of Rites, this person was also recommended by Liu Hongji, and he was decent in office, but he did not do anything out of the ordinary.

"Lord Han once gave the ministers an example of the maladministration of the country, if it comes to innovation, the minister only knows a rough idea, and Han Da is an expert." Liu Hong gradually truthfully told Chongzhen.

In the imperial court, he knew that the Ming Dynasty had a lot of malpractices, but Han Yu was the only one who took the initiative to innovate.

Liu Hongjian had already checked the details of Han Yu, but he was born in a poor family, but he was able to clean himself and not be in the same stream as the courtiers, but he was also excluded because of this.

He has successively served as the county of Yingshan, Xinye, the county of Miyang, the county of Linyi, the military department, the official department, and the inspectorate......

Han Yu ranked eighteenth in the first class in the scientific examination, and it took nearly 30 years for officialdom to get mixed into the imperial history of the right side of the Inspectorate.

If Han Yu also has shortcomings, he doesn't like profit, but likes fame, the name before and after him, the name of the world, this hobby is good, Liu Hongjian likes it the most.

Since you have pushed it, you might as well push it a second time, whether there is a diamond or not, it all depends on Lao Han whether you can do this porcelain work.

It's just that, alas, another old man!

The seven auxiliary ministers of the cabinet are nearly 400 years old, and Liu Hongjian alone has lowered the average age of all cabinet elders by ten years.

Fortunately, he doesn't have to come to work every day, otherwise he will follow a group of uncles to work every day, and he will not be long before he is worried that he will become old-fashioned.

The inspectorate's function of hearing the wind and performing affairs was canceled, and all the six departments were abolished, which can be regarded as a new wind in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Chongzhen can be regarded as having understood this, and the supervision power must be in his own hands.

Since the Inspectorate is responsible for discipline inspection, it will come up with definite evidence for whoever wants to impeach, which is a self-examination of the official system.

The Inspectorate supervises hundreds of officials, and the East Factory is responsible for supervising the Inspectorate, and it still has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, and Jinyiwei is even more awesome, responsible for supervising the East Factory.

Although Liu Hongjian has many titles, they are all manageable, such as this Wuyingdian scholar and cabinet member, he can go if he wants, and he will not be reluctant to go to Chongzhen if he doesn't want to go to Chongzhen if there is no big event.

And this Jinyi Guard commander is even more so, the second-in-command Liang Yang can't find Liu Hongjian most of the time.

But there is one thing, no matter what, if he doesn't like it, the subordinate departments that can be suppressed by his authority will die.

This is like a knife hanging over the East Factory and hanging on the heads of hundreds of officials, the courtiers have to consider everything they do, if they are targeted by this lazy and ruthless guy who is still in the hands of the saint, what will be the consequences.

The Inspectorate, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei are Chongzhen's three eyes, and the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Jingying border army who have received Chongzhen's grace are his arms and his butcher's knife.

set the tone, Chongzhen's heart was settled, and in the next few days, Chongzhen began a drastic rectification.

On the tenth day of August, in the west city of the capital, nearly 300 convicts were beheaded by Chongzhen's order.

When the people watched it, they all applauded.

Since last year, Chongzhen wantonly plundered the treasury and obtained that much silver, and the fields in the entire north have been exempted.

Now His Majesty the Emperor is driving a personal expedition, slaughtering the Jurchen savages who have harmed the north for decades, except for not being a minister, punishing traitors internally, and benefiting the people, where can His Majesty the Emperor find such an emperor?

Now the situation in the Ming Dynasty is that the courtiers are silent, Chongzhen does his own thing, as long as the people don't make trouble, everything is easy to say.

Courtiers, if you are willing to do things honestly, you will be treated well, and those who are disobedient will be dismissed directly, Chongzhen is not used to it at all.

Nearly half of the courtiers were convicted of the king's case, and under an order, all the scholars of the Hanlin Academy were decentralized, and the local officials such as prefectures, prefectures, and counties from all over the Ming Dynasty were transferred to Beijing.

For a while, the situation of the imperial court was new, especially the local governors who were summoned from all over the country, they all dreamed of entering Beijing, after all, the Beijing officials were much more domineering than the local officials, not only could they see the Son of Heaven every day, but I heard that there would also be rich businessmen from all over the country to pay respect.

But is that really the case? Hehe.

These days, Chongzhen is busy with himself, but Liu Hongjian is idle, he comes to sleep every day, gets up to do morning exercises, walks around the Yamen of the Jinyi Guard, and then runs to the ordnance station.

There is a cow man Uncle Song here, and the entire Xishan Workshop is well organized.

In half a year, the glass workshop and the steel workshop alone earned Liu Hong more than 800,000 taels of silver, and the coal and stone business in charge of the Gu family in Shanxi also had an input of 340,000 taels.

But most of this silver is left hand in and right hand out, and with Liu Hongji's order, Uncle Song is expanding the scale of the ordnance station without delay.

In particular, the steel workshop has expanded to more than 800 workers and 400 stone of steel per day in half a year.

With the advent of steel, the artillery and musket workshops were also expanded, and now more than 140 cannons alone were produced in the Ordnance Institute, as well as more than 6,000 new front-loading rifled guns, and nearly 50,000 guns were backlogged.

Liu Honggradually discussed with Song Yingxing, stopped the production line of old-fashioned rifled guns, and the musket workshop stepped up the production of rifled guns at full speed.

The Northern Expedition fully confirmed the great power of firearms, Chongzhen was full of praise for the ordnance, and Uncle Song was therefore awarded the title of Wu Weibo, and as a literati, he was promoted to the earl of only military exploits, which is really rare in the Ming Dynasty.

But neither the courtiers nor Chongzhen had any objections to this, after all, there was no firearm from the ordnance station, and I don't know how many more soldiers would die in the decisive battle with Jiannu, which was not a small military achievement.

Song Yingxing was grateful for the emperor's grace, and his motivation was even more sufficient, so that Liu Hongjian was worried that this baby-like uncle's body would not be able to bear it.

Almost all the firearms provided by the Ordnance Institute to the Ming army were sold at a flat price, after all, most of the funds were provided by Uncle Chongzhen, and the materials were also provided by the Ministry of Human Households at a flat price, and Liu Hongjian did not plan to earn this silver.

That is to say, except for the glass workshop and the spinning workshop, as well as the coal and stone accidents in Shanxi, all the other workshops do not make money, and even throw money into it.

But this is no way, everything is difficult at the beginning, but fortunately, now the stall has been spread, and when the rifled gun is distributed to the whole army of the Ming Dynasty, the old-fashioned rifling gun can be recycled.

Didn't the Polochi of Chahar have long been worried about our Daming's firearms, well, maybe we can get in touch after a while, so as to alleviate the dilemma of lack of funds, Liu Hong gradually made up his mind secretly.

Anyway, this zero version of the old-fashioned suifa pistol, the rate of fire is slow, the firing range is less than half of the rifled gun, and it does not pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty, and it can also be exchanged for some cattle and sheep and silver to benefit the people of the Ming Dynasty, and Uncle Chongzhen will not refuse if he wants to come.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Midyear Festival.

Chongzhen's eighteen-year Zhongyuan Festival is destined to be a day that will go down in history, because on this day, Chongzhen set up a huge banquet in the palace......
