Chapter 435: Exam Results

Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death.

Naturally, we won't wait for anyone.

As the scheduled nine years of Wanli rolled forward, the Son of Heaven announced by telegram that the imperial plan had become a precedent on this day, and there was no doubt that this was an excellent means of increasing the prestige of the emperor.

In this year, the emperor still started with 'I am Yijun', announced to the world that the king of Shanxi San Francisco had entered India, and set the road renovation from Tianjin to Qingshankou as a national policy, and allowed the provinces to issue iron tickets symbolizing the right to open mines for merchants and soldiers and civilians by 30%, and 400 iron ships were transported along the coast, and iron ingots from various provinces were purchased and sent to Beiyang at a price higher than 5% above the market price.

At the beginning of the year, Zhang Ge Lao once again hoped to return power to the emperor, but unfortunately, in the emperor's eagerness, this request was once again vetoed by the Empress Dowager Li.

However, the Queen Mother soon reaped the consequences - she believed in Buddhism and wanted to use her private wealth to build a temple in the Forbidden City to worship Buddha statues, but was refuted by Zhang Ge Lao and took the money cleanly.

Shuntian Mansion gets its sweetness, there are two more Queen Mother Bridges, and there are three houses in Shanxi This year's examination law to add three remote places of the Queen Mother Road.

In the end, there were 17,300 taels left, and he was sent by the middle-aged god to Feng Bao's lieutenant to Guangzhou Mansion to buy arrows, armor, canned grain and grass, and sent them to Bangladesh by boat in the name of the Queen Mother.

Not to mention, the emperor was very happy to see this result, according to the palace people who inspected the Qianqing Palace at night in the Forbidden City, they could always see the candlelight in the shadows of the doors and windows at night recently, the quilt kept stirring, and there was a strong low-voiced laughter from the palace.

Of course, the child is always with the mother, the Wanli Emperor can not stand the grievances of the mother, after entering the Kunning Palace and the Queen Mother to talk freely, in the first month of the ninth year of Wanli, the emperor decided to invest in three temples in Bangladesh, Myanmar and Siam in the name of the Queen Mother, and assigned the monks of the Shaolin Temple to be the abbot to manage on his behalf, and asked to send back seventy percent of the income to the Kunning Palace every year.

The emperor said: "Don't worry, when this investment is enough to repair the temple in the palace, the child will already be in charge, and when the time comes, he will definitely build a beautiful big Buddha temple in Kunning Palace, and let Feng Daban chant the scriptures for you every day, he is good at doing this." ”

Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory is also ushering in new challenges, and the kiln factory, known as the Hongwuguan Kiln Factory, is always facing new challenges.

Chengzu Jing is difficult to ascend the throne, and they want to make bright red, sweet and white dragon pattern porcelain according to the story of the emperor's red robe and frost flowers; Emperor Xuande grasped the quality of the kiln, beheaded the pottery officer, broke the remaining defective products, and also made the official kiln porcelain refined and beautiful; Emperor Chenghua liked art, and also directly influenced the production of the imperial kiln, firing a combination of high-temperature underglaze color and low-temperature overglaze color.

In the Wanli year, the emperor wanted both quality and quantity, and the supply of the increasingly prosperous overseas trade was guaranteed in an incomparably large quantity.

In the ninth year of Wanli, the Imperial Kiln Factory introduced 12 A-type Huode Xingjun, which changed the manufacture of porcelain, the grinding of clay and the production of pottery blanks, all of which were handed over to the machine, so that the law of quality and quantity could not be combined completely changed.

In fact, the discovery of Europe was a very terrifying thing for the Ming Dynasty, not a few missionaries who came over to blow all kinds of discoveries in their hometowns that 'there has been no war for 800 years, and every family has never closed their doors at night', but the discovery of the Ming army and merchants of the Oriental Military Government who really landed in Europe during the Wanli period.

All kinds of gossip spread with the return of wounded veterans and businessmen in the Great East Ocean, Euroi didn't know what toothpaste and toothbrush were, and every poor family didn't even have the habit of eating on a plate, and the old vegetable soup in a pot was boiled for half a month; The English call rain rain, and heavy rain 'rain, dogs, cats', because the poor roofs are covered with grass, and bed bugs, rats, cats, and dogs all run up the houses, and when it rains, the grass slips and falls.

There was no way to stop rats and bugs from dropping off the roof, so there were canopy beds, the kind with pillars on top of the sheets.

How scary?

These half-understood pieces of information, brought back by veterans and sailors, were converging into the general perception of Europa by the Ming people by unparalleled prejudices.

Merchants and veterans brought back legends of yearning for wealth and nobility, but the recruitment of the Beiyang Military Government in the ninth year of Wanli was not smooth, especially in Shanxi, the military government originally planned to recruit Shanxi soldiers from five hundred households, but as a result, only twenty-seven people were recruited in a large province, and fourteen of them were veterans who escaped from the guard.

For no other reason, there is only one prince left in the three feudatories of Shanxi, and all the fields have been returned to the imperial court, and the number of acres of land is still cleared by Jinyiwei and the local government, from last autumn to this spring, there is still no clear result, but only in terms of the progress reported to the imperial court, Jinyiwei has cleared out 240,000 hectares of cultivated land.

According to the Jinyi commander Wang Chaoyao, who was in charge of this matter, this amount of increased the cultivated land of the empire by one-thirtieth was only half of their work of clearing the land...... Maybe not even halfway there.

This means that there are 4 million acres of fields waiting to be cultivated in Shanxi Province, and the important task that the cabinet handed over to the Shanxi political secretary and the local prefects this year is to distribute these good fields from Wangzhuang to the people, Zhang Juzhengding's rules are also strict, a family of proletarians is only allowed to divide 100 acres, just looking for 240,000 proletarian people is enough to make people a headache, the emperor also assigned Jinyi to command the dynasty to supervise - that is the national abbot, especially when his son-in-law is the emperor in charge of the military, he is not afraid of anyone.

The prefects of all places were speechless, and a rider ran hundreds of miles to the north, and the land of the government was under the control of the army, and the two Beiyang troops armed to the teeth to suppress the place were overkill, and no matter which class had overflowing deterrent power.

The fact that the Beiyang Military Government could not recruit soldiers in Shanxi also proved from the side that the Shanxi officials had done a good job in this matter, and the people didn't even want to be soldiers, so they just waited for the distribution of fields.

When you look across the ocean to Colombia on the southeastern border of the empire?

The situation is not easy.

Although Lautaro had been in the army for more than a year, his troops were still incapable of confronting the Spanish mestizos, and the Spanish Viceroyalty of Peru still nominally ruled the land, but the battle line was indeed expanded under the guerrilla warfare.

At the beginning of the year, 460 aboriginal leaders from various villages under the command of Lautaro rushed to the Golden Valley to receive the support of arquebuses, leads, tin turtles, gunpowder and various agricultural tools from the guerrilla general Lin Xiao, the chief officer of the guerrilla army of the Oriental Military Government.

This directive was related to the Kao Cheng Law, which ranged from village administration such as farming, weaving, weaving, mining, and upper citizenship to military objectives that further drove Spain to Peru.

And the way to achieve this goal is to implement a vicious command to the heads of Colombian villages: kill one enemy soldier every month.
