Chapter 199: Expedition
A list was handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and it was nothing more than the personnel who were rewarded for making muskets. However, the Ministry of Works could not verify such matters, and the Ministry of Rites was powerless to do anything about it. Since it could not be verified, Hao Fenglou was naturally not polite, and he would add anything that could be added to the list.
The people in the camp were all suffering. Taking this opportunity to give them a background, it was also good.
However, Hao Fenglou soon saw the stinginess of the court. The eunuch came out and it looked glamorous. The musket team was all organized by force, while other craftsmen gave the name of a good craftsman. As for what this good craftsman mean, Hao Fenglou always couldn't figure it out, but after thinking deeply, he almost choked himself to death.
It's so dangerous. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, if you do a good job, you should be a craftsman. This is like Xiao Ming sweeping the land with good skills. The leader decided to let Xiao Ming sweeping the land for the rest of his life. Most of these craftsmen are fleeing households and finally get out of the tiger's mouth. If you make it back to the craftsman, most of them must die.
The Ministry of Rites seemed to be well aware of the reasons inside. Without pointing it out, I simply made a vague statement. I guess I was afraid that Hao Fenglou would make trouble and be clean. It would be fine if everyone was at peace.
As for the one who benefited the most, Hao San was naturally. On the list, the Ministry of Rites ordered a supervisor. This supervisor was an inequality small official, but it was different with the official body. Five hundred households were raised by the firearm team, but the small flag was not pointed out. Obviously, fifty people were in possession, and five hundred households were already a gift. If we were to follow up, the adults of the Ministry of Rites felt sorry for their salary.
No matter what, this is a good thing.
The camp was filled with a joyful atmosphere. It happened that the Ping An money from Donghuamen was collected, and there was a lot of surplus. The transaction of swords and swords was pretty good. Selling one hundred treasures every month has made this sword a luxury. With the money, Hao Fenglou was not stingy and distributed 3,000 taels.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. The craftsmen are now full of motivation and naturally start work with all their might. The total is divided into two groups, one group is responsible for building new blast furnaces, forging steel, wood tools, muskets, and building houses. The other wheels take turns resting, and continue to improve the process while resting.
Improvement is naturally not easy. But when we focus on our brains, we taste the taste, and gradually we have experience and experience. The old craftsmen are experienced, and young people always have wonderful ideas. There will be occasional controversy when we get together. But it will be great if we make a fuss.
Everything was done step by step, and the camp was still vigorously recruiting people. Someone from the Governor's Office of the Five Army personally took a batch of muskets, and praised the muskets. The military officer who was ordered to come to escort them was smiling.
At this moment, the camp began to use manpower to organize people to visit their families. Searching for their families was Hao Fenglou's previous promise. In the past, the conditions were limited, and it was just a cake, but now that it has been officially recognized, in order to soothe people's hearts and let everyone stay here steadily, people must settle down.
There are mainly two sources of craftsmen and sturdy men here. One is that they are fled and have been separated from their families. If they want to find their relatives, they must contact the local government and help them search. The second is the craftsmen in the Fabrication Bureau. Their family is originally in Nanjing. Because the family is all craftsmen, they are organized to work everywhere. The latter's family quickly brought them up. More than 600 women, children, young and strong. As for the others, Hao Fenglou found a way to ask the Jinyiwei to search.
With the Jinyiwei coming forward, local officials generally dare not not give any convenience. As long as there are clues, they will be found sooner or later. The household registration management of the Ming Dynasty was very harsh, so everything was just a matter of time.
Everything came naturally and everyone felt at ease. The craftsmen and young men in the camp knew that their young masters were not ordinary people. They had food and sleep here, and their families could be reunited. They did not have the whip of supervisors, and even had wages. They were like they were in heaven and their thoughts were settled down.
In order to resettle the population, it is necessary to build houses. Both carpenters and stonemasons are ready-made. Therefore, building houses, even building schoolyards and other facilities for the musket team, has become the top priority. Hao San has been very distressed about this recently, but for his eldest young master, his mind has long been no longer in the camp.
The decree for marriage was arrived, and Zheng He personally appeared at the Hao family with the imperial edict.
The door of Hao's family was wide open, and all the women in the mansion came to welcome him. Zheng He read out the order and said, "I heard that Lu Yan, the daughter of Duke Jingguo, is skillful, generous, gentle, kind and kind, and has outstanding character. I am very happy to hear it. Now the Marquis of Lu, the Marquis of Lu, is suitable for marriage, and should choose a virtuous daughter and a mate. When Lu is in the boudoir, he is in charge of the beauty of becoming a beautiful woman... All etiquettes are handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor, and will be held together in the year of Yongle in the Good Times... The wedding will be completed on a good day."
After receiving the imperial edict, the mansion had already prepared firecrackers and ordered people to set them off. The imperial edict from the Hao family here arrived, and the imperial edict from the Lu family also arrived. Zheng He breathed a sigh of relief and expressed his gratitude to Hao Fenglou.
Hao Fenglou hurriedly said, "July 19th, that is, after half a month, you can get married?"
Zheng He said: "Because it is a marriage gift, someone will handle the six rituals. You don't have to worry too much, just follow the steps."
Hao Fenglou couldn't help but be happy: "Thank you for the group...the emperor's care for my life. From now on, I will stop, re-transform, and serve the group...the emperor."
Zheng He smiled and said, "All right, our family has to go back and report. You are leisurely, but many people have to be uneasy when giving marriage."
Hao Fenglou suddenly remembered something, suddenly grabbed Zheng He and said, "Yes, I want to ask you something."
Seeing Hao Fenglou's serious expression, Zheng He did not dare to be negligent, so he followed Hao Fenglou to a remote place. Hao Fenglou said, "What's going on in the palace recently?"
Zheng He said in surprise: "In the palace? There has been nothing wrong in the palace recently."
Hao Fenglou didn't believe it and said, "Have you ever been looking for a master? What does the master say?"
Zheng He said seriously: "The master wanted to move to your place, but you didn't want to invite him. He said he was a little embarrassed and pointed at you and asked someone to carry him in a sedan chair after you got married."
Hao Fenglou couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Oh, isn't it? I almost forgot. As a family, why do you want so many vain gifts? If you want to come, you will come. He is so squeamish that I, as a disciple, refuses to come."
At this moment, Zheng He seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, "By the way, there is something happening in the palace recently. His Majesty ordered someone to inquire about the dental defense team a few days ago."
Hao Fenglou shuddered and said, "How did you go?"
Zheng He smiled: "Later, I remembered that I had an involvement with you, and it was in the end."
Hao Fenglou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said nothing.
The Hao family had already started to have a bright light and decorate. The Qin and Jin were fond of marriage and gave them marriages, so they naturally attached great importance to it. Even Hao's father delayed the day of going south because of this marriage. On the third day of the seventh month, Emperor Zhu Di moved to the Taimiao to worship the heaven and earth. He then apologized for the sins of Annan Hu and immediately issued an order to attack him.
On this day, Zhu Di went to Longjiang for a farewell day. On this day, the wind was bright and sunny. Hundreds of boats competed on the river, flags covered the sky, drums and horns were ringing, and thousands of Beijing camps followed. The army was so prosperous that people dared not look directly at it.
The civil and military officials in the capital came with him. At this time, there were crowds of people on the streets and the river bank was crowded with people. Hao Fenglou was wearing new clothes and stood in the crowd inconspicuous. Instead, he met many familiar figures and greeted him. Because everyone knew about the marriage, many people took the opportunity to congratulate him.
Hao Fenglou responded one by one, but his eyes were always focused on the prince and the king of Han.
These two high men stood side by side behind Zhu Di, imitating Zhu Di, looking at the heroic army on the platform, and there was Prince Chen behind them. Prince Chen looked tired. Although he had cleared the poison, his body was damaged by this. At this time, he couldn't help but look a little weak and was in the wind, and he kept coughing.
When Prince Chen saw Hao Fenglou, he came over obediently and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang has always hoped to visit Hao Qianhu and thank him in person. I don't want to meet him today."
Hao Fenglou smiled with a pursed lips and said, "Oh, you don't have to be polite, it's just a simple task. Is Your Highness better?"
Prince Chen said, "It's been much better, I'm worried." After that, he glanced at the Zhou Shi who was leaving, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's just that they are going to Xiao Wang's homeland today, but Xiao Wang stays alone in a foreign land. Although the Ming Dynasty is good, it is not his home after all. I can't help but feel sad when I watch them today."
Hao Fenglou smiled and comforted him, "Don't worry, your highness, wait until you have stepped on Ping'annan and taken down Hu's family. At that time, your highness will return to his hometown under the escort of our Ming Dynasty elite soldiers."
Prince Chen nodded and said nothing. After a long time, he said, "Yes, I heard that Hao Qianhu will get married soon?"
Hao Fenglou said: "That's right."
Prince Chen smiled: "Xiao Wang is better, and he will have to come to the door to ask for a glass of water and wine when he has time. Hao Qianhu can also come to Honglu Temple to sit. Recently, Honglu Temple has been so peaceful that it is a bit quiet."
Hao Fenglou sneered: "It is said that the heart is calm and naturally cool. The Honglu Temple has countless relatives, vassals and envoys who come and go in and out every day. How can it be too quiet? It must be that His Highness's heart is too quiet."
Prince Chen blinked at him and said, "This is Hao Qianhu's fault. Since King Ning was in trouble, Honglu Temple has calmed down. Look, such a big prince is so noble. Now, he has been beaten half to death and is still recovering from his injuries. It is said that his legs are lame. There are imperial doctors in the palace, but I look at it and it seems that they are just perfunctory."
Hao Fenglou smiled faintly and said, "Is that so? Your Majesty has always valued Your Highness Ning. Your Highness Ning was injured in anger for a moment, which really made people not expect, but I think Your Highness Ning would not be surprised."
