In the next few days, Liu Hongjian stayed at the ordnance institute to discuss with Song Yingxing the relocation and construction work of the steel workshop and cement workshop.

Time is pressing, especially the cement plant has reached the point of urgency, fortunately, in the case of mastering the production process, only raw materials and cement cellars need to be prepared.

In addition, with the full cooperation of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, all the raw materials began to be delivered to Zhending Prefecture on the second day of the fixed tone.

The construction team is trouble-free, and the construction team pulled up by the Ordnance Institute since its establishment has never heard of it, building an ordnance office, building a residential house, building a spinning workshop, a glass workshop, and a steel workshop......

Then the armory was expanded, the dwellings were expanded, the musket workshop was expanded, and the artillery workshop was expanded......

This is a mature and professional construction team, with 400 craftsmen of all kinds, and 1,600 people who are familiar with the wall building workshop.

Steel and cement are the secrets of the Ming Dynasty at present, and after selecting two reliable managers to be in charge of this matter, the two leaders marched to Zhending Mansion with a construction team of 2,000 people.

"Huh~~" Liu Hongjian had just finished his morning exercises, yawned and came out of the house, and the glow of the Mid-Autumn Festival was extremely comfortable.

It was almost noon, and Liu Hong, who had been busy for four or five days, gradually got his leisure, and was thinking about where to go for a walk in the afternoon, when he was attracted by the chaotic sound from the front yard before he went out.

"Master, someone has come to the palace." The bull came to report with an arm hanging from his chest.

"Well, I know, didn't I let you rest for a few more days, the injury is not healed, what are you wandering around?" Liu Hong gradually glared at Niu Dabang and said.

was assassinated a few days ago, the wound on this guy's arm is not shallow, and now there are three hundred guards stationed in the county king's mansion, and there are guards in plain clothes and brocade clothes swaying around outside the gate, and his county king's mansion is safe.

Of course, the Jinyi guard outside was not Liu Hong's order, he didn't have that idle time, as long as he didn't go to a closed place like a cornfield, his AKM was on standby at any time, and ten or eight couldn't get close at all.

It's all done by Uncle Chongzhen, alas, and let people live in peace, Liu Hong gradually muttered while walking to the front yard.

"Lord Wang, long live Lord has a purpose." Wang Erxi said with a smile.

It is all the credit of Liu Hongjian to be able to become the palm seal of the celebrant supervisor, otherwise he would not know what it would be like to be harmed by Li Yunkui.

The celebrant is in charge of the seal and has a high authority, and Wang Erxi, an honest man, is gradually relieved to sit on the throne.

"What's the matter with the emperor looking for us?" Liu Hong gradually became stunned in his heart, the uncle in the palace has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and it is generally a tricky matter.

"Hey, Lord Wang, this is a great good thing, our family is envious!" Wang Erxi was mysterious, and he also smiled evilly.

"The, you little king, hurry up and announce the decree, this king still has something to do!" Liu Hongjian was originally sitting in the main seat of the central hall, but after speaking, he stood up and planned to accept the order.

"Holy decree, Liu Hong, the king of Anguo County, gradually receives the decree!" Seeing this, Wang Erxi unfolded the holy decree in his hand and began to read it.

He was already surprised by Liu Hongji's rudeness, this guy was often rude in front of the emperor, not to mention that this was only the two of them, and Chongzhen didn't care about it, so he didn't bother to remind him to touch his head.

"Liu Hongchuan, the king of Anguo County, developed cement, sympathized with the people's suffering, shared worries for the king, and was very comforted, and rewarded two Korean beauties, 300 Korean mountain ginseng, 150 deer antler velvets, and 50 mink skins, and admired this!"

After Wang Erxi finished reading it, he looked at Liu Hongjian with a smile.

Liu Honggradually listened, and his mind was a little confused.

What's that? North Korean beauties, still two?

Korean beauty, Korean mountain ginseng, Korean deer antler, mink......

What kind of plane does Uncle Chongzhen do? When did you learn the bad faults, you have started to send beautiful women!

"You laugh at the wool, hurry up and tell the king, what's wrong with the emperor? It's a beauty, ginseng, and deer antler, is it possible to dig up Changbai Mountain? ”

Ginseng antler velvet is okay, you can eat it every day to replenish your body, what are you doing with two beauties, isn't your daughter going to marry us, don't you find yourself happy.

"Back to the prince, this is a gift brought by the lord of the DPRK to ask for tribute, long live the T-shirt of the prince, the prince's hard work, special reward, the hundred officials and nobles in the DPRK do not know how envious you are!"

It turned out that as soon as the news of the Ming Northern Expedition to wipe out Jiannu reached North Korea, the Korean lord Li Liang couldn't sit still.

Eight years ago, after two devastations in Korea, the ruler of the country, Yi Liang, fled to Ganghwa Island and was forced to sign an alliance with Jiannu and accept the canonization of Hwangdae-gil as the lord of Korea.

Then Jiannu only jumped for eight years, and then was personally conquered by the Ming Emperor and then destroyed the country, Li Liang was terrified when he heard the news.

Whether it was forced or not, but after all, betrayal came first, Li Liang was worried that Chongzhen would be angry because of this, so he personally drove a boat to ask for guilt.

It's not that Li Liang is bold, but that he has dealt with Daming for decades, and he really knows Daming monarchs and ministers too well.

For a long time, the Korean state has taken the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, and the Ming Dynasty has been studied in terms of clothing and etiquette.

It is true that he made a mistake, but as long as he is willing to lower his stature and take the initiative to go to the Ming Dynasty to meet the Ming Emperor to ask for guilt, according to the disposition of the Ming monarch and minister's reputation for respecting etiquette, he believes that he will definitely be able to turn the war into a jade silk.

Therefore, after urgent discussion with the courtiers in his own country, he brought a big gift and came to Daming by boat in person.

"In other words, these Korean beauties, mountain ginseng, and deer antler velvet are all tributes brought by the Korean lord to ask for sin?" Liu Hong gradually understood the situation.

However, this Li Ju guessed well, according to his understanding of Chongzhen and the group of uncles in the cabinet, if they were allowed to deal with this matter, what else could they do, of course, they chose to forgive.

"What the prince said is right, Your Majesty loves you very much, this indecent ministry just sent the lord of the DPRK to Honglu Temple, and sent our family to give you a reward, everything is outside, the prince will go with our family to count it?" Wang Erxi said softly.

"What else to order, isn't it just some mountain goods, send it directly to the back kitchen of the palace, and let's boil mountain ginseng and deer antler velvet every day in the future."

"What to do with the two North Korean beauties, Lord Wang, that is carefully selected by our family from dozens of beauties!" Wang Erxi covered his mouth with his hand and said secretly.

When Jiannu did not plague the two countries, North Korea paid tribute almost every year, and dozens of Korean beauties must be offered every time, but perhaps the aesthetics are different, and the beauties of North Korea are all crooked melons and cracked dates in the eyes of the Ming people.

Chongzhen is naturally not interested, and most of them stay in the palace as palace maids, or directly reward meritorious ministers.

"Can I get back?" Liu Hong gradually glanced at Wang Erxi and said, "Uncle is really causing trouble."

"Lord Wang, do you want to resist the decree?" Wang Erxi teased, aren't you just two maidservants, you can't afford to raise the palace of Anguo County?

"Oh yes, the emperor has issued an edict to summon the prince into the palace to discuss matters, if the prince doesn't pay the bill, let's go into the palace, right?" Jokes are jokes, when it comes to business, Wang Erxi is still very serious.

"I know that the emperor must have something to worry about, hard work, let's say, what is the reason for this time?" Liu Hong gradually grumbled and muttered.

"Alas, the lord of North Korea, Li Liang, is asking for a crime, but in fact, he is paying tribute in the name of asking for a crime, and the tribute brought this time is quite huge." Wang Erxi said with a frown.

"Wouldn't that be better, we Daming lack everything now!" Liu Hong gradually became happier, why don't you send something, what are you worried about.

"The prince doesn't know, the subject country has come to pay tribute, let's ...... We have to return the favor! And it must be ten times more than that! ”

PS: Friendship pushes a book "Take a Beiping to Daming" accidentally traveled to the end of the Ming Dynasty, Li Ziming found that there was a Beiping City in his mind, and he could extract anything from it. Extract millions of stone grains. Extract 10 million taels of silver. Extract the Weapon of the Age ...... Well, this is better than AK hanging, if you are interested, you can read it.
