I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 256 Lend You Eight Thousand Guns

Hearing an old case with an "explicit statement" from the idiot emperor was a piece of cake for Wei Zhongxian, and the case was cleared up in less than a cup of tea.

"My lord, Qiu Chengyun framed Zhongliang, mutilated the stone pillar and comforted Ma Qiancheng, and colluded with the governor's office in Yuzhou to exploit the common people and occupy 12 mu of fertile land..."

"Okay, okay, the trial of the case is the business of Mr. Wei, and it has nothing to do with me. You can deal with it." Zhu Youjian waved his hand impatiently, and slowly drank a bowl of wine.

Through the glass windows of the painting boat, a few water birds flitted across the blue sky, leaving a few afterimages on the water.

Startled, a group of carp ran wildly.

The blue waves are rippling, and the years are long.

This shit, the Ming Dynasty, when will he, the idiot emperor, be able to rest easy, quietly hiding among the famous mountains and rivers, asking the immortals, one day and one night...

……

Qiu Chengyun had already been acupointed on the Ya acupoint, and knelt on the ground, trembling all over, a little dazed.

The same goes for the other seven or eight old eunuchs.

Those damned silverfish!
fly!

Stinky shit!
Zhu Youjian didn't bother to pay attention, waved his hand casually, and said: "General Qin, your husband's case is clear, and you can decide how to deal with it yourself.

By the way, Wei Zhongxian, you should go back first and tell me the emperor's brother, I will decide what to do today. "

If Wei Zhongxian met with amnesty, he hurriedly bowed to salute, exited the cabin in a regular manner, and took a small boat back to the palace.

Qin Liangyu's family of three froze there, not knowing what to do for a while.

"My lord, thank you!"

After a few breaths of silence, Qin Liangyu suddenly got up, stepped out, grabbed Qiu Chengyun's bun with his hands, and dragged him out of the cabin like a dead dog.

"Husband, today's grievance has been avenged, and I have nothing to worry about."

"Heaven has eyes, let this dog thief fall into my hands, my husband, you have a spirit in the sky, you should be smiling!"

After finishing his speech, he bowed to the sky, raised his sword and dropped it.

Qiu Chengyun's white-haired old man rolled down the bow of the boat, and was picked up by Qin Liangyu, tore off a piece of war robe and wrapped it up before returning to the cabin: "Young master, Qin Liangyu kneels to thank you for your kindness, please borrow This concubine, with a bowl of turbid wine, pays homage to my husband Ma Qiancheng in this capital, and I hope you will not refuse me!"

Zhu Youjian poured a bowl of wine with his own hands and said, "This bowl of wine is a tribute to General Ma Qiancheng!"

After finishing speaking, he threw it on the ground casually.

There was a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and a strong wind suddenly picked up.

On the surface of Zhonghai and South China Sea, a gust of wind suddenly blew, which swayed the painting boat a few times, which made Zhu Youjian vigilant: "Could it be that there is really something dark under the sky..."

……

Next, there is a lot of drinking.

Qin Liangyu fulfilled a wish, and from the very beginning he looked down upon Zhu Youjian, this little white-faced big fool, and finally he was convinced.

"Master Zhu, I see you as a hero..."

Qin Liangyu was about to say some polite words, but was interrupted by Zhu Youjian waving his hand.

"I'd better call you Mrs. Sister-in-law, or Sister-in-law, it's more kind," the idiot emperor said with a smile, "Don't say any more words of thanks, let's talk about the situation in Sichuan, Chongqing, and Yunnan and Guizhou."

Qin Liangyu smiled wryly and said: "Okay, then I won't mention today's events from now on, you are a nobleman, call me Mrs. Sister... that's all, I will recognize you as an uncle as a concubine.

As for the Sichuan-Chongqing and Yunnan-Guizhou areas, there are some troubles right now. "

"Tell me." Zhu Youjian said calmly.

"The Sichuan-Chongqing area is okay. After leaving Tongguan, entering Hanzhong, and passing through Jianmen, the land of Sichuan and Sichuan has always been rich and densely populated. Although the government said that the oppression is severe, the people are destitute, and starvation is everywhere. But there is still a way to survive. .

The saddest thing is the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau..."

"Yungui Plateau?" Zhu Youjian repeated casually, with a strange expression on his face.

Wasn't that Yuan Chonghuan sent to the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau by himself to help him hide a "surprise soldier"?Could it be that something happened to that guy from Dongguan?
"Yes, the front line of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is in chaos right now." Qin Liangyu pondered for a few moments, settled his mind, and said, "Young Master also knows that Yunguichuan was once swept and suppressed by King Mu during the Taizu Dynasty. Make a storm.

However, in recent decades, the imperial court's control over that territory has gradually relaxed. The officials sent to Yunguichuan, relying on the high mountains and the emperor's distance, colluded with some degenerate emperors internally and externally. The cabinet bachelor is also generous;
A small mansion over there is a local emperor..."

Qin Liangyu spoke eloquently, but Zhu Youjian was startled when he heard it.

It turned out that the various problems in the southwestern border, which I had never paid attention to, were even more chilling than those in Liaodong and Liaoxi.

The reason is very simple.

The conquest and slaughter in the land of Liaodong was a matter between the Ming Dynasty and Zhuweitou. It could be crushed with money, food, guns, and a hundred thousand iron troops.

But the southwestern border...

It's our own people who start to rot.

This is an internal injury. If it is not done well, it will cause inflammation and fever, and it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources to cut out the pus and repair the sores, and the Ming Dynasty will have to pay a heavy price!
Zhu Youjian took a sip of wine, murmured to himself, and thought, "It's different from the northwest, Liaodong, and coastal areas of Fujian. Once a major incident happens on the southwest border, my basic business will almost be useless..."

Zhu Youjian is a big idiot. He has only a half-knowledge of many things about governing the country, and he has always been muddled.

"Sister-in-law, in your opinion, how should the imperial court manage the Southwest?"

"war!"

"war?"

"Correct."

"How to fight?"

"Support war with war."

Zhu Youjian was silent.

Supporting war with war...Qin Liangyu's thinking is undoubtedly right. The Ming Dynasty has long been unable to manage the Southwest, but it can't let those moths and local emperors continue to run amok and slowly drag the Ming Dynasty into the boundless abyss.

The only feasible way is to support war with war.

"Sister-in-law, let's put it this way, I'm not very good at marching, fighting, and governing the country. My only strengths are eating, drinking, gossiping, making money by the way, and getting thousands of guns..."

Zhu Youjian said bluntly: "Simply, I'll pay for the gun, and you go make trouble."

Qin Liangyu: "..."

The female general had a look of hesitation on her face, and she was somewhat uncertain.

This little boy gave her a very weird feeling, sometimes calm and domineering, sometimes frivolous and extravagant, and sometimes giving people the illusion of a rebellious courtier and thief, which really made her a little suspicious, is this "Master Zhujiao" out of his mind?

"How much money do you have? How many guns can you get?" Qin Liangyu asked.

"Money is something outside of the body. If you don't bring it with you when you die, you won't give birth to me if you keep it anyway. Let's put it this way, the Daming Royal Bank belongs to my family. I'll give you as much as you want.

In addition, my family has 2000 to [-] mines and owns [-] million mu of land, and the only ones that can be sold are the Daming Academy and the Daming Engineering Bureau..."

Zhu Youjian said it very calmly, but Qin Liangyu listened very disapprovingly.

Without him.

The point is that this little boy brags and doesn't make a draft. If he hadn't shown a domineering aura in the matter of killing Qiu Chengyun before, even the great eunuch Wei Zhongxian would be obedient and dare not say a word in front of him. Qin Liangyu even suspected that this Did the little boy have some not-so-pure purpose to get close to her on purpose.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Zhu Youjian again.

Silently moved aside.

Zhu Youjian saw it and didn't care much.

Human beings always look down on others. How could he, a wealthy local man, easily fall into the eyes of strange women like Qin Liangyu?However, if he revealed his true identity at this moment and appeared as the emperor, he felt that it would be boring.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, although I like to brag, I'm quite lecherous, and I'm not very reliable in my work. In a word, I'm just the biggest playboy in the capital city and the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty.

However, we are rich and powerful.

How about this, I'll get my sister-in-law thousands of the most advanced muskets first, and you go back and organize a first-class iron army in the world to help the emperor's brother stabilize the southwest. "

Zhu Youjian knew in his heart that Qin Liangyu would not believe what he said at all, so he simply stopped explaining and called "Come here" casually, and summoned a man in brocade clothes.

"Pen and ink serve."

The brocade-clothed man hurriedly fetched a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, arranged them respectfully, and said, "My lord, please."

Zhu Youjian stood up lazily, stretched his waist, rubbed his face vigorously, moved his wrist, and then grabbed a brush.

"Song Yingxing, build [-] semi-automatics, plus [-] check-weighing machine guns, and [-] mountain howitzers."

An eight-foot-large leaflet, with more than two dozen big characters written crookedly and with wet ink, was so crowded that there was not even a place for signature and stamp.

Looking up, down, left, and right, the idiot emperor was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "My master's calligraphy has the charm of Mr. Dongpo, fat but not greasy, soft but firm, um, very chewy."

After speaking, he threw away the brush in his hand, and said to the man in brocade: "Give this calligraphy to Song Yingxing, and say that I need this batch of firearms urgently, and ask him to prepare and ship them to Yuzhou as soon as possible."

Turning his head, he looked at Qin Liangyu with great interest: "Sister-in-law, do you think it's okay to do it this way?"

Qin Liangyu: "..."

It seems a bit inappropriate to do so.

You little boy, do you think of yourself as the emperor?Moreover, even if it is the emperor, according to her idea, a poor Ming Dynasty is full of holes, and even the Shanhaiguan defenders have never been equipped with new firearms...

"By the way, there is one more thing." Zhu Youjian suddenly thought of something, and then he noticed Li Yan who had been eating meat and drinking in silence since the banquet began, "Li Yan, you go back to Daming Bank immediately and handle a piece of paper for my sister-in-law Qin Liangyu." big loan.

As for the number...

Give her 300 million gold coins first, let her recruit troops after returning to Sichuan and Chongqing, and give her as much as she needs in the future.

Remember, this is strictly confidential! "

Li Yan got up silently, and took the order to leave.

This kind of prodigal behavior has been seen too much, and he, the treasurer Li, has become numb.

Isn't it just a few million gold coins...

……

After a banquet, we all had a good time.

Seeing Qin Liangyu's family of three leaving in a small boat, Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, was a little depressed.

On the one hand, it was because of the plight of the Southwest that made him a little depressed; on the other hand, he envied this family of three from the bottom of his heart, leading troops to fight cleanly, being honest and patriotic to the monarch.

It's not like him, the idiot emperor.

Unlearned and incompetent, doing nothing.

Apart from hanging around in the capital all day long, he was just a piece of trash living and dreaming on the lake beneath the imperial city.

'How about... find a way to go out for a stroll? '

"The folk customs in the southwest are tough, and the Sichuan girls are enthusiastic and unrestrained, and each one is more lively..."

'No way, the auspicious day is about to come, and ten thousand concubines still need rain and dew, how can they just leave? '

……

Zhu Youjian sighed, opened the character panel silently, and looked at the newly added large amount of 'prodigal value', and his mood gradually improved.

This wave is stable again.

It is very comfortable to get money and guns for Qin Liangyu to avenge his hatred, and to recognize a sister-in-law by the way, so that he can get nearly [-] million points of "prodigal value" for nothing.

He happily clicked an upgrade.

Ah, it was numb and itchy, and by the way, I had a shock for three or four seconds.

[Strength +16, Dexterity +16, Riding and Archery +18]

……

[Special reward: "Analysis of the Working Principle of the Kowtow Machine and Preliminary Research on Oil Refining Technology"]

……

Zhu Youjian: "Nest grass!"

I finally waited for a slightly useful 'popular science book'.

A few days ago, the "Daming Scientific Expedition Team" and the "Daming Geological Exploration Team" led by Xu Xiake received news that they had discovered an "oil vein" in the area of ​​Qingyangfu, but limited by the current technological strength, it was impossible to collect a large amount of it.

For this reason, the idiot emperor was so worried that he couldn't sleep, and spent day and night in the bedroom of Queen Zhou.

Now, with this booklet, I believe Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing and other Ming scientists will be able to make some noise soon.

"Wait, Qingyang Mansion?"

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed in Zhu Youjian's mind, his face became a little weird, and he muttered in his mouth: "Qingyang Mansion found oil veins, sir, is this God's will?"

He had been to that place before the 'Yellow Robe Added Body'!

Also, I did an internship at an oil refinery there...

Isn't it Changqing Oilfield?

Further to the northwest, if you conquer the Hexi Corridor, then you can consider the Yumen Oilfield; if you go all the way to the west, defeating the Tubo, Beiman, Erut, Yarkand, Tumed and other forces, isn't it the first batch of the Ming Dynasty? Heavy industry base?

If the strength is enough, go all the way west.

Then you will arrive at the world's largest oil producing area...

"Come here, prepare your horse, and return to the palace!"

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, the idiot emperor Zhu Youjian walked out of the cabin, and before he could say goodbye to Miss Hongliu, he hurried all the way and soon returned to the Qianqing Palace.

"Wei Zhongxian, deliver the decree and convene a court meeting."

After returning to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youjian asked Wei Zhongxian to pass on the decree before he could sit still, and urgently called a court meeting.

"Slaves, obey the order!"

Wei Zhongxian came out of the palace happily, with an inexplicable joy on his face.

Ah, it's not easy.

The idiot emperor finally hurriedly called a court meeting, apparently wanting to correct evil and return to righteousness, and become a good emperor through the ages...
