Inside the Qianqing Palace.
After Zhu Youtang mentioned the punishment of Zhang Yanling to the ministers, instead of relaxing, he became nervous and anxious.
I was originally going to come back to review the memorial, but when I picked up my pen, I had no energy at all, and I didn’t even want to read the cabinet draft.
Chen Kuandao: "Your Majesty, there is no news of earthquake so far. Is it possible that there won't be one this time?"
Zhang Zhou said that an earthquake occurred on February 16th. It was already February 19th, so it seemed that the time had already passed. In addition, Chen Kuan was dissatisfied with Zhang Zhou's suspicion that Liaodong had taken credit, so he would try to make such remarks.
"You mean, Bingkuan is targeting Yanling"
Zhu Youtang immediately looked unhappy and turned back to glare at Chen Kuan.
Chen Kuan realized that he had done something stupid.
Dai Yi on the side hurriedly added, "This means that maybe because His Majesty has already taken Jianchang Bo into custody, God has withdrawn the warning."
Zhu Youtang picked up the pen and immediately I scratched a few random scrolls on a memorial, but it turned out that it was a memorial in which an official interceded for Peng Quan, the commander of the Jianchang Guards. However, Zhu Youtang's instructions were very simple and could be discussed elsewhere.
It seems that the emperor is also anxious about whether an earthquake will occur. He hopes that there will be no earthquake, but also feels that the matter may not be that simple.
Peng Quan was not convicted in the first place, but was only taken to the capital to be imprisoned for "questioning."
Zhu Youtang said, "After Peng Quan arrives in the capital, he will hand it over to the Governor's Mansion and will not be sent to the Fajie Prison. If there is no news of the earthquake by the 22nd, let Yanling go back. If it happens, let him go." Joining the army in the northwest, that's it."
It means that the emperor still has to wait for "God's will" to give Zhang Yanling a final verdict.
If there is an earthquake, Zhang Yanling will be punished. If there is no Peng Quan, although there will be no punishment, Zhang Yanling will only be imprisoned for a few days with minor punishments and severe warnings, and then go home and continue to be his lawless person. Relatives.
That morning, Zhang Zhou’s grocery store was about to open.
It opened at noon, which was also the time for him to receive the prince.
While there was nothing else to do in the morning, Zhang Zhou took his personal bodyguard Wang Mingshan to the workshop outside the city, because the Ming Dynasty had not built the outer city during the Hongzhi period, and the south side of the city was relatively quiet at this time. Defeated, renting a larger yard as a venue is more than half cheaper than in the city. More importantly, some steelmaking or in-depth research on gunpowder is also suitable to continue here.
"Don't be restrained, I won't eat you."
On the carriage, Zhang Zhou of course had to teach Wang Mingshan some "rules".
After all, Zhang Zhou was not that eager. Even though the relationship with Wang Mingshan seemed to have been settled, he still had not taken the final step.
It’s not that I don’t want to.
I feel like doing this is a bit like the big bad wolf bullying Little Red Riding Hood.
Wang Mingshan is really a bit too silly and cute. The eldest girl is tall and delicate, with a good figure and pretty appearance. But the problem is that her social experience is too shallow, and she has nothing to do.He likes to be distracted, which makes people like Zhang Zhou, who worked in the education industry as a teacher in his previous life, unable to make a move at critical moments.
Wang Mingshan, who was sitting in the carriage, looked at Zhang Zhou with wide eyes, then curled up her knees and changed her position.
It seems to be telling Zhang Zhou.
I'm not restrained, I just felt uncomfortable sitting just now. I don't understand what you are talking about.
This left Zhang Zhou somewhat speechless.
Xiao Nizi has no consciousness of being Little Red Riding Hood, and even if he is the Big Bad Wolf, he cannot be evil.
It was as if he was trying to be a villain, but the other party was looking at him like he was watching a monkey show.
This is not a problem of poor communication, but
different worldviews.
"Go back in the afternoon and learn more from Han Qing. She will teach you." Zhang Zhou said.
Before you do something evil, you must make some preparations first, at least let Wang Mingshan know what she is going to face.
"Yes."
Wang Mingshan nodded. She is the kind of character who doesn't like to compete with others. She doesn't think Jiang Pingyu and Han Qing have anything bad to do to her. .
This is probably a woman from the old era. When she was growing up, the absence of female elders around her brought about a bad result. No one taught her how to be an accepted girl in this era. , no one taught her the three obediences and four virtues, and she didn't even know the difference between men and women.
A workshop outside the city.
The craftsman He Chun handed a long iron pipe to Zhang Zhou, and Zhang Zhou weighed it in his hand.
He Chun praised, "My boss, the iron we use has top-notch toughness. If it is used to make weapons, it will definitely be a magic weapon. Why do we need to make pipes?"
Zhang Because there was no good coal supply in Zhou Dynasty, the coal used was bought from the market. It was first made into charcoal before it could be used. The effect was not very satisfactory. The iron produced was either stainless steel with added chromium or stainless steel with added chromium. Ordinary steel, mainly stainless steel, is not wear-resistant and cannot be used to make gun barrels.
Even the steel that is made will still rust, but it is what Zhang Zhou needs.
"This will be used to make firearms." Zhang Zhou said.
He Chun swallowed. After all, he was transferred from the Ministry of Industry and knew that Zhang Zhou was qualified to make gun barrels, but he still didn't think Zhang Zhou's improvements were of any use.
"Have the springs I mentioned been made?" Zhang Zhou asked as he put down the iron pipe.
He Chun took out a crude spring.
Zhang Zhou took it in his hand and found that the effect was still not very good.
Then he brought over the drawings, called several craftsmen over, and explained in detail: "Use the stretching method to shape the iron while it is still at high temperature, and it is shaped in one go. If you can’t withstand high temperatures, continue the transformation.”
It’s almost time to explain.
A group of people outside have finished loading a batch of "goods", which he plans to transport to the city and deliver groceries toShop for sale.
In addition to iron products, there are more glass products.
Zhang Zhou, the workshop in the city, is mainly responsible for research, and the production has now been moved outside the city, also because what he is doing now requires a large amount of coal. In a place like Qingfang, the smoke is Naturally, it won't work if it's burned by fire. It's more convenient to do it outside the city.
"Crackling"
In a shop near Chongwenmenli Street in Qingchengfang, an opening ceremony was going on at this time.
In the midst of the blast of firecrackers, there was even a daytime fireworks show. Piles of colorful dust rose into the sky, leaving several traces in the sky in broad daylight, causing everyone around to stop and watch.
Amidst the commotion, Zhang Zhou, as the owner of the new grocery store, personally picked off the red cloth on the plaque, revealing the gold-lettered signboard of "Zhang Ji Grocery Store" inside.
But no one knows what it is for.
The concept of the so-called "grocery store" has actually existed since ancient times, but it is not called that because these days, the shops and shops along the street have specialized business scopes.
As for selling everything, that’s nonsense.
If Zhang Zhou told them that the things in his shop were unprecedented in this world, everyone would probably think he was crazy.
"Take a walk and take a look, there are good things here, the prices are cheap and you can't be bullied"
Zhang Zhou will not hawk them in person.
In order to open the new shop, he specially hired a group of people, all of whom were very articulate.
A group of people were handing out flyers on the street.
The method is very novel, but the effect does not seem to be good.
More than half an hour after it opened, many people were outside asking what was for sale inside, and many were joining in the fun, but no one went in to take a look.
“My boss, it seems that’s not possible.”
The shopkeeper who came back, named Huangli, looks like this old almanac, giving people a stereotyped and pedantic feeling, which is also no way.
Zhang Zhou thought to himself, if I paid tribute to the hospital and gave me a few more days to prepare, it would not be like this. But who told me to go to Xishan to mine soon, and I have no time to waste time here
I can only make do with it.
When in town, do as the Romans do, and if it doesn’t work, take it out first.
Just as Zhang Zhou was waiting for some fool to come in and open the door, a group of people suddenly squeezed out of the crowd.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way"
The carriage is very luxurious.
After the carriage stopped, Zhu Houzhao jumped off the carriage. The onlookers had not yet understood the situation.
Such a magnificent carriage, and a half-year-old child got out of it
Who would go shopping in an adult's carriage?
" Go away, I want to buy something."
Zhu Houzhao wanted to show off his wealth to Zhang Zhou before. This time he finally had the opportunity to leave the palace to see Zhang Zhou. There were many people in the market watching, so of course he wanted to show off his wealth. own "rich".
It seems like he has nothing else to show off.
Could it be that if he told others that he was a prince and his father found out, he could skin him when he went back?
When Zhang Zhou saw this kid coming, he almost wanted to pick up the sole of his shoe and beat him.
Dear me, who taught you your bad habits, your father knew about it, and he thought I was the one who led you into trouble
You are pretending to be an uncle when you go to the market
Then the plainclothes Jin Yiwei lifted two boxes from the carriage. After opening them, they were filled with silver.
Two boxes, each weighing a hundred catties, contained nearly three thousand taels of silver alone.
Looking at this posture, Zhang Zhou estimated that this was probably Zhu Houzhao’s last net worth.
In the past few months, I have almost spent all my money.
"If you have any good things, take them out for me. As long as I like them, if I don't give them to you, all I have left is money."
Zhu Houzhao held his head high and said, Standing at the door of the grocery store, Zhang Zhou showed off his power.
There were more and more people watching. They probably had never seen such a new scene. The eight or nine-year-old kid carried two silver boxes and went out to buy things. With that money, he could easily buy four things in the capital. Five big houses
"Let's go and see the excitement"
The crowds were almost swarming.
Zhang Zhou originally wanted to drag this boy to the backyard of the shop, but he did not expect that it would bring unexpected advertising effects, so he walked down with a smile and said, "Young master, you are here to buy something. I have all the good things here, come in and take a look."
"Walk"
Zhu Houzhao doesn't care about the amount of money. The greatest value of his keeping the money is to be happy.
After saying that, others followed Zhang Zhou and stepped into the grocery store.
More people then approached the door of the grocery store.
The shopkeeper Huang Li hurriedly maintained order and said, "Officials, if you want to buy something, please wait outside. There are big customers here."
"Why can he buy it? We Even if we can’t buy, we still have to go in and take a look.”
Originally, the store was not very big, and dozens of people rushed in in an instant. It was a bit overwhelming inside, so Zhang Zhou could only pull Zhu Houzhao away. Go inside the counter.
"Okay, you're a marketing genius." Zhang Zhou smiled.
Zhu Houzhao looked confused, "What the hell, I'm here to buy something. If there's any good stuff, come out and say hello. If you have the ability, you can make all my money. Don't try to fool me with the goods." Please remember to collect, The latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft
