Chapter seven hundred and forty-seven: imperial order to patrol the west mountain

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhang Mao with appreciation: "You came from afar, but I didn't let you rest, but summoned you here. To put it, I am very ashamed. But... there is a case now. I have been thinking about it, and only Zhang Qing's family can handle it, so I can feel at ease."

As he said that, Emperor Hongzhi's gaze glanced at Ma Wensheng.

Ma Wensheng had a straight face.

Recently, Ma Wensheng scolded Wang Ao very much.

This Wang Ao is really a scam.

He did not think that Wang Ao really colluded with Fang Jifan and gave his Majesty the treasury.

Instead, he thought Wang Ao was out of reach. He was sent away five or six million taels of silver. He said that the Ministry of War was slaughtering silver. Does the Ministry of War have slaughtered silver? Well, even if it was slaughtering silver, it was really in the sky and underground compared with you Wang Ao.

After all, he is the Minister of War, known as the gentleman of the Hongzhi Dynasty, and has not shown his combat effectiveness in the past two years. But now, he has seized the opportunity and scolded him hard. He suddenly feels much more relieved. The bronchial dysfunction that has not been cured for a long time has been cleared a lot.

Now that Zhang Mao has finally come back, it is when Yi Zheng is chasing the enemy, Ma Wensheng said, "Yes, Duke of England, you must come forward in this matter."

Zhang Mao was stunned and said, "I don't know what happened?"

Ma Wensheng said: "Please show the drawings to the Duke of England."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

Xiao Jing took the drawing and sent it to Zhang Mao. Zhang Mao lowered his head. This was a drawing with many numbers marked on it, including size and thickness, as well as general graphics. Even the sectional drawings were made in the barrel. It was extremely detailed and it was extremely clear with just a look.

After all, Zhang Mao was loyal and wise, and looked at the drawing and fell into deep thought.

"Duke of England, what do you think?"

"Some problems are a little different from other artillery," said Zhang Mao.

Ma Wensheng's eyes lit up. He was indeed the Duke of England, with specialty and professionalism.

Emperor Hongzhi put his hand on the desk: "What's the difference?"

Zhang Mao said: "The size marked on the barrel is a little thinner. In this way, the weight of the gun itself can be reduced, but it is so thin that it is too easy to explode. In addition, it is a problem with the barrel. There are even negative lines in the barrel. What's the use of this...? Are you not afraid of getting stuck in the projectile? Besides..."

Zhang Mao said a lot about the problems on the drawing in one breath.

Ma Wensheng kept nodding: "Yes, this drawing was submitted by the son-in-law Fang Jifan. After the drawing was introduced, His Majesty attached great importance to it and immediately issued an order to supervise the Ministry of War. Wang Gongchang was responsible for the specific manufacturing. The Ministry of War summoned the skilled craftsmen of Wang Gongchang and took a lot of effort to build the artillery, but the result... it was... exploded."

Zhang Mao frowned: "Sure..."

"It also caused a considerable fire, with heavy losses. The most important thing was that it also caused an uproar in Beijing. Everyone was worried about it... But Fang Jifan claimed that he built the cannon according to the original drawings. Is it possible for the British to believe?"

Zhang Mao frowned even deeper and shook his head: "A fantasy."

"That's true, so Your Majesty is very suspicious about this. After thinking about it, someone must go and check it out personally. The Duke of England has a lot of experience in artillery. Your Majesty has trust in Duke of England. You might as well ask Duke of England to take a trip."

It turned out to be just this little thing...

Zhang Mao sighed in his heart. In this life, he has his own share in his own affairs. Wasting his life is destined to be busy all day long in these cumbersome trivial matters.

Just go see the cannons, do you still have to go by yourself?

And that boy Fang Jifan, why are you bragging about?

Zhang Mao had no choice but to say: "I obey the order."

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to have resolved one's thoughts.

Ma Wensheng also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, a fire in Wang Gongchang caused a great loss to the Ministry of War, especially Fang Jifan, who boasted that he could make it. This was simply a hammering of the Ministry of War and Wang Gongchang on the ground.

What does it mean? The Wang Gongchang, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, is a place with a history of 100 years and responsible for the manufacture of firearms in the world. It is better than the West Mountain of the Zhang family who have never touched artillery before. Fang Jifan invited a group of Zhang family members who fled the famine?

If so, what is the use of Wang Gongchang? What is the use of me, the Minister of War?

Zhang Mao said: "Or, I'll go tomorrow."

Emperor Hongzhi pondered for a moment: "Tomorrow...in a few days, it will be auspicious day. Are the sacrifices ready?"

"No...not yet, I just returned to Beijing." Zhang Mao blushed.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said nothing.

Zhang Mao gritted his teeth and felt like he exploded on the spot, but he had to say: "Then I will go now, tomorrow... I have to go to the imperial tomb."

"It's time for you to be my family." Emperor Hongzhi's face calmed down.

Zhang Mao went straight to the west without stopping.

The boy named Fang became a prince consort and did not go to sacrifices. He was still idle all day long and was messing around all day long.

When Zhang Mao walked out of the warm pavilion, he was out of breath and tired. He had to go to the west again after traveling thousands of miles, so he was full of resentment.

Chen Ergou and others can no longer hold on.

They carried canned food one by one and looked at the pears and porridge water in the glass bottles. They looked good, but... can this thing be eaten?

Go back and eat again.

However, next, they were told that the certificates they had could be exchanged for real money and silver, and of course, they could also be exchanged for gold and silver notes.

Wang Jinyuan's face was flushed and summoned everyone to talk about the gold and silver notes issued by the Zhenguo Mansion Money House.

"Isn't this the Ming Dynasty treasure banknote?" Someone couldn't help but say.

People have no good impression of Daming Baochao. This thing... has depreciated so much. To be honest, no one dares to use it on the market now.

Wang Jinyuan patted his chest and said, "It's different, it's completely different. Integrate the gold and silver notes in the money house, and the gold and silver notes are similar to the gold and silver notes stored. How much gold and silver are in the warehouse, how many gold and silver notes are printed? If someone gets the money, the gold and silver notes collected will be destroyed immediately. His Royal Highness and the Prince of the Consort are guaranteed."

Your Highness the Crown Prince...

Chen Ergou was a little moved.

In fact, he was always worried about one thing, that is, how to move the gold and silver home. This is so silly. Even though he is brave enough to look down on Cheng Qianhu, he was really worried about such a conspicuous and silly thing at home. He was not afraid of thieves stealing, but he was afraid of thieves thinking about it.

If the gold and silver bills can be collected at any time, it would be much more convenient.

After all, no one is willing to go out with dozens or hundreds of pounds of gold and silver on his back.

Chen Ergou said: "Amusementman Xu and Shouning Hou should also be a guarantee?"

"Of course, the Hou of Shouning is the uncle of His Highness the Crown Prince, and Xu Jing is the disciple of the son-in-law Duwei. What is the disciple? The disciple is the son. Xu Jing's father has happened to him. This father is all protected. Do you think this son is protected?"

This principle is good and easy to understand. When everyone hears his father and son, they understand everything.

Chen Ergou said without hesitation: "Then I will exchange some gold and silver notes, and then withdraw some cash and cash."

Now... I believe it.

No one can succeed if you don't believe it.

Ambassador Xu's character is obvious to everyone.

There is also Shouning Hou, that's really, tsk... nothing to say.

To put it bluntly, if Hou Shouning was really greedy for money, would he reward the brothers with these gold and silver? No!

Shouning Hou is a man who specializes in benefiting others and is not self-interested. In his eyes, gold and silver are like clouds. He looks down on him, and he only has loyalty in his heart. To put it bluntly, this gold and silver are given to everyone by Shouning Hou. The gold and silver are stored in this money house, so why are you afraid that you can’t get it?

If even Shouning Hou was a greedy, shameless, and complacent person in this world, then will there be good people in this world? Are there anyone in this world worthy of trust and trust? Are there any kindness and light in this world?

If the world is dark, then Shouning Hou is a ray of light. He made Chen Ergou, who had experienced killing and cunning, understand that there is still light in this world!

After Chen Ergou finished speaking, everyone said, "Okay, I'll exchange some urgent gold and silver, and exchange them for gold and silver notes."

"I'll change, I'll change too."

"I'll change..."

"Okay, okay, don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Wang Jinyuan smiled and bloomed. He was a merchant, so he naturally knew what this money house means, what can the money house attract deposits, and what does it mean? What else in the world? Is there a more profitable deal than this?

On the surface, the money shop is just helping everyone keep the money, but once the gold and silver notes are recognized by the sailors, it is of great significance.

Wang Jinyuan now focuses all his energy on this money house. As long as the money house is done, all the chess game here in Xishan will be revitalized.

He began to check every certificate with the recruited apprentices and civil servants, withdraw real money and silver for them, or exchange them for gold and silver notes. The sailors and sailors became noisy and lively.

To be honest, when they arrived on land, they went back to their own homes and met other people. Only then did they realize that they and them, even their relatives, were out of touch. No one could understand them, and they could not understand others. After one person stood at another level and looked at the world, he could not integrate into the original world.

But as long as these old brothers who used to be together day and night gathered together, there seemed to be endless things to say. Not only that, everyone was also free and cursed one by one. Only those sailors knew all kinds of words. Although they were often scolded and ridiculed by others, they felt happy.

Chen Ergou was also particularly happy. When he heard these vulgar yelling, his eyes were red and he was even with tears.
