Chapter 389: Counting
It seems that in the emperor's consciousness, things should be carried on the back of Huo De Xingjun, so it is called Xuanwu.
Huo De Xingjun has vast powers, and letting him drag a cart like a mule and donkey is really contrary to his identity.
It was getting late, and although the emperor was anxious, he was too big to send this Huode Xingjun to the military room of the Qianqing Palace - the emperor did not want to include this big machine in the imperial museum, but only the military room of the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City was installed by the emperor with a full set of lamps, which could be as bright as day at night.
The other chambers have a light bulb or a few kerosene lamps, and most of the nights are lit by candles...... The emperor is different, the emperor's military room is equipped with nine light bulbs, and it is very bright.
Of course, this incident was also very criticized by the courtiers, and was used as evidence of the emperor's extravagance and waste, and the emperor was reluctant to eat pies to advise the emperor to be frugal.
However, Emperor Wanli was very combative, and he only laughed and said in a crazy manner: I eat nine pies a day, how about it?
And by the way, he showed off his mathematical skills to the courtiers: the first emperor had fifty taels of bread, and I had nine cakes and two coins of silver, is this my extravagance and waste?
Finally, it ends with a rhetorical question: When the first emperor had a cake of fifty taels, where were you?
Since Qin Tianjian talked about the induction of heaven and man, after the emperor listened to Chen Mu's words, he attacked other people's shields with other people's spears again and again, and tried many times, and now he has used it perfectly: when he meets someone who has said that heaven and man induction, he will use heaven and man induction to scare him; When you meet someone who likes to talk about the law of your ancestors, you will use the law of your ancestors to reply.
When it comes to anti-corruption, there is really no one in the world who is better than the emperor of heaven, after all, this emperor doesn't care about the corrupt eunuchs, even the greedy grandfather let him do it.
Wu Qingbo Li Wei, the father of the Empress Dowager Li, was about to behead his grandfather because he first embezzled 200,000 taels of winter clothes in Jizhen and then 400,000 taels of tent money in Beiyang Military Mansion.
Zhang Juzheng couldn't persuade him, of course, the emperor still gave Zhang Ge old face, no stalk neck, and calmly taught his teacher: The teacher always taught me to be a good emperor, and a good emperor can make my grandfather embezzle military spending? Teacher, now that you are taking the lead in bending the law for personal gain, how will you teach me in the future? Let's do the opposite, I should intercede for my grandfather, you have to bring it to justice.
This matter can stump Zhang Juzheng, because not only the emperor wants to behead, but even the Empress Dowager Li doesn't know why, she began to persuade her, and then persuaded herself to cry, remembering that it was not easy for her to advise her father for so many years, so she simply said to her heart: Chop and behead, behead.
In the end, the Manchu Dynasty was scared enough, or the good old man Shen Shixing came up with a way, saying that the past crimes have been punished, and this time the guilt will not be dead, not to mention that the emperor's decree to dry the grandfather is too shocking, and the emperor's reputation is not good, so he should be punished lightly.
As soon as the emperor heard it, he he, it didn't matter if he killed or not, he liked to watch the ministers give in, and finally took his grandfather's title, sent eunuchs to count how much money his grandfather's family had, a total of 237,000 taels, was fined 235,000 taels and filled into the inner treasury, and confiscated the Tsinghua Garden, which is known as the first garden in the world in the north of the capital.
Since then, there have been very few courtiers who blame the emperor for the waste in the palace, because their blame has nothing to do with political affairs, but just looks unpleasant.
Indeed, this emperor spends more money than anyone else, but he didn't ask for money from the household department, and second, don't look at the lavish spending, but he spent less than the emperors of the past, because this emperor can count, and the palace does not dare to be greedy.
What Emperor Longqing needed fifty taels to do, Emperor Wanli could do it with a penny of silver.
What Emperor Jiajing needed 100,000 taels to do, Emperor Wanli didn't need to do it - he didn't refine the pill.
The emperor originally wanted Zhou Sijing and Xu Guangqi to come back at dawn tomorrow, but then thought that he would rush from outside the city before dawn, and he had to open the city gate for them, so he simply arranged for Jinyiwei to change his clothes for Xu Guangqi, who was shivering from the cold, and slept at Jinyiwei's place at night.
This was originally a well-intentioned one, but in the end, no one slept well.
The young emperor had something on his mind, and after sleeping for a while, he woke up, asked the eunuch about the time, and took his two younger brothers to sneak all the way to the noon gate with small coal lamps, waking Xu Guangqi.
"Shhhh Why do you sleep like Xu Dudu, go for a walk, go out and tell me about the structure of the big things outside. ”
Xu Guangqi was scared to sober.
After a tired day, although it was in an unfamiliar place, he also slept deeply, and a small cool hand was stretched into the bed, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a big and two small boys carrying this kerosene lamp on the edge of the bed with a weird smile looking down at his face from top to bottom.
Not to mention how scary.
Xiao Liang'er is King Lu's, not a prank, the main thing is that his cold is not well yet, and he has no place to rub after wiping his nose.
Xu Guangqi, who was frightened and frightened, was called up from his sleep by the emperor and walked in the Forbidden City at night in single clothes.
Thanks to the blessing of this bear child, the palace guards who saw them along the way all cheered up and took care of them, and they didn't even dare to take a nap.
"I've thought about it all night, but I haven't figured out a single question, Xu Suozheng."
Walking to the side of Huo De Xingjun, who was parked near the palace gate, the emperor walked back and forth beside the huge steam locomotive with a lamp, with irrepressible excitement and joy on his face, obviously very happy to visit the imperial city at night, and asked as he walked: "It is written in the manual of the Steam Bureau that the B type Huo De Xingjun used in small factories requires four types of organic workers, the mechanic superintendent, the boiler worker adds water and coal, the oiler adds oil and lubrication, and the gasman is responsible for degassing. ”
"I went back last night and thought about it repeatedly, only to realize that you, the Fire De Xingjun, have few people, only two shirtless boiler workers, and the others are completely gone."
The emperor crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, the shell of Type B Huo De Xingjun is big enough, and it is not as big as the shell used in the factory."
In fact, Emperor Wanli is only one year younger than Xu Guangqi, but Xu Guangqi is much more mature than the emperor, but he is not mature to the point, at least now Wanli is carrying an oil lamp, Xu Guangqi points to wherever the emperor shines, and none of the four people thinks there is anything wrong.
Xu Guangqi pointed to Huo De Xingjun's back and said: "He has a shell, adding water and deflating are connected to the back of the mechanism, refueling and lubrication are completely automatic by the mechanism, it is a big gear, every turn to refuel, a drop of oil, the oil goes down the rod, some drops on the slide below, some flow in the end, there is an oil bucket under Huo De Xingjun's buttocks, take it out every day and pour it down from the shoulder to reuse." ”
Saying that, Xu Guangqi raised his hand and said: "In the future, adding water and deflation will be completely automatic, and only one driver and one charcoal worker will be needed to make it run at that time, but this way...... It's too hard to walk. ”
"Don't worry, as long as this big green dragon can run, can drag the cart on the road, I can repair any road I need, even if I want to use a wooden rail road, I can also repair it from Beiyang to Wulianghai!"
Xu Guangqi shook his head slowly, completely unaware of being a seven-pin official, interrupting the emperor's pride and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the wooden rail won't be able to support this heavy car, and the cast iron rail will not be outside the plug, even if it is in the plug, I'm afraid it will be carried away by the people." ”
The young emperor felt very embarrassed by the fact that he was easily pointed out to the loopholes in his own ideas, and said angrily: "Then I will pour it with cement to see who can lift it!" ”
After that, I was afraid that the little seven-rank official in front of me would be stiff again, so he added: "Whoever can carry him away, I will recruit him as an artilleryman and let the mules rest!" ”
Although the kitten roars like a tiger, it will not make people afraid, but who made Xu Guangqi also a kitten, he is very afraid.
But the emperor came back to his senses and said to him strangely: "Eh, you know a lot, what is your name?" ”
"The minister Xu Guangqi doesn't know much, in fact, not long after he entered the Steam Bureau, he also listened to what Director Zhou and the craftsmen said, and the bureau had discussed this matter before, and used a steam car to pull the steam engine to facilitate it to be transported to Beiyang for loading."
"Does it count?" After receiving an affirmative reply, in the dim moonlight, the young emperor gave Xu Guangqi, who was also young, an important mission: "You calculate for me, how much it costs to build the road from Beiyang to Qingshankou and pour the dead road with railroad cement." ”
