I am the king of the dead

Li Gaoquan, the owner of the Risheng, was thrown into the Jieyuan Court because he was involved in the case of the abnormal female household.

Lei Juntai chose to jump off the car and went to Daming Songjiang Shipyard when Li Gaoquan hosted a banquet for Huang Yanniang, a famous actor in the south of the Yangtze River, to serve as a helper conductor, general manager, and general manager of Songjiang Prefecture shipbuilding.

To this day, Lei Juntai's tung oil storage method, steam room immersion method and other tung oil refining methods are the best ways for Daming official shipyards to store tung oil, and Lei Juntai has also obtained a miracle card at the favor of Li Binyan .

"Is it just because of the tung oil?" Li Binyan asked with a frown when he heard Lei Juntai's report.

Lei Juntai didn't know why, but he still said, "It's just because of the tung oil."

Li Binyan looked as usual, and his expression was no longer as cold as frost. Standing in front of the burnt treasure ship beyond recognition, he asked calmly: "Very good, it means that the shipbuilder of my Songjiang Shipyard has not lost much. Tell me about other things." loss."

"There is nothing else to lose..." Lei Juntai said with certainty.

Before Li Binyan went to the Ryukyu Naha port to show off his power, he had repeatedly told and confessed to guard the safety of the shipyard to prevent so-called civil disturbances, and the emphasis was not on ships, but on protecting people's safety.

"That's good." Li Binyan nodded, and said to Lei Juntai as he walked: "Mr. Lei, if you burn one, you can burn one. If the tung oil is gone, it will be gone. As long as the person is still there, we will burn it." It can still be made.”

"Being caught cold this time, I have learned a lesson, and next time no one can burn the boat."

Li Binyan stood in front of the burnt boat pond without saying a word. The treasure ship was burnt beyond recognition, only a rough outline could be seen, and the burning smell could still be smelled. Some craftsmen were running back and forth trying to retrieve it. Items that are still usable.

"Where is Your Majesty?" Lei Juntai still said worriedly.

Li Binyan waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I'll go and listen to the news. Don't worry about the tung oil. There will be oil tomorrow. If you delay it for a few days, just delay it for a few days."

Lei Juntai thought that Li Binyan didn't know what was going on just after getting off the ship, so he hurriedly said, "I've been looking for tung oil everywhere in Songjiang Mansion, but no one is willing to sell it to us. I learned that the tung oil in my government-run shipyard is on fire, and Songjiang oil is expensive, so I can't buy it at all." arrive."

"I can't wait to take someone to snatch it!"

Li Binyan said with a smile: "According to the schedule, Guizhou tung oil will arrive in Liujiagang tomorrow, so there is no need to worry. No one sells us tung oil in Songjiang Mansion, but at least [-]% of Guizhou's tung oil is from His Royal Highness Xiang. It was produced in the official Tongyuan Institute in Guizhou."

"Don't worry about tung oil, and don't worry about timber. Under the rule of Penghu Governor Chen Yi, there are many people logging on Jilong Island."

"As long as there are people and people's hearts, ships can still be built."

If the hearts of the people are scattered, the ship really cannot be built.

Guo Xuan, the prefect of Fujian Province, took charge of the eight prefectures to build ships in those years. After great efforts, he built 120 ships ready to go south to the west. However, in Li Binyan's view, what Guo Xuan built was a castle in the air.

Industrial craftsmen are seconded and requisitioned, raw materials are controlled by others, and the shipyard is not owned by others inside and outside. The national and domestic funds have been exhausted. Finally, the ship is built, but it is burned by others, and it is unable to continue.

What did Emperor Taizong Wen do?

There are only three shipyards that can build the largest treasure ship in the Ming Dynasty.

Those who want to prevent the Ming government from running maritime trade, even if they burn down one or two ships at the risk of family punishment, Emperor Taizong Wen can still build them.

This is the gap.

To this day, His Majesty has kept silent about the voyage to the West, and is only silently expanding the strength of the Daming Navy. This is also the difference between His Majesty and King Jili.

Li Binyan frowned and said, "Have you found any useful news?"

Lei Juntai said rather helplessly: "No, the arsonists caught were all impromptu wanderers, lonely people, and someone gave them fifty silver coins to climb into the shipyard from the Ximen Dog Cave. "

Li Binyan secretly thought that it was so, and he continued to ask: "Is the enemy's target only the ships of the shipyard?"

"What does Governor Li mean?" Lei Juntai shuddered suddenly and asked tremblingly.

Li Binyan looked at the vast sea and said, "The target is His Majesty."

After five days, Zhu Qiyu's big driver, Yuren, finally arrived at Songjiang Mansion.

Li Binyan led the civil and military officials of Songjiang Prefecture to pick him up [-] miles outside Dongshuima Station of Songjiang Prefecture.

There wasn't a big battle to pick him up this time, and Zhu Qiyu simply greeted her, and then began to enter Songjiang Fucheng.

"It's really disappointing me. Assassinating the king is all about courage. If you're not brave enough, how can you kill me?" Zhu Qiyu sat on the very spacious jade chair and looked at the gate of Songjiang Mansion with a disappointed look on his face. Said.

His car had already passed the houses outside the city gate from the countryside.

The rural official road is the best location to attack. If someone wants to attack, the rural official road is the best choice, because this way you can use your troops to attack hard.

Zhu Qiyu traveled from Wulin Water Horse Station in Hangzhou to Jiaxing Water Horse Station, and then from Jiaxing Water Horse Station to Dongshui Horse Station in Songjiang Prefecture. The journey was smooth and calm.

The second is to set up an ambush at the houses, the roads leading into the city are full of twists and turns, if you assassinate in the houses, even if you can't succeed, you can retreat, but Zhu Qiyu is about to enter the city, there is still no movement.

It really disappointed Zhu Qiyu to the extreme.

Li Binyan wiped the sweat from his brow. If there was an assassination case on the territory of Songjiang Mansion, he, the governor, would just wipe his neck.

It was because he was not in Songjiang Mansion that the shipyard arson happened. Now that he is back, he will naturally not let these things happen.

Li Binyan bowed his head and said: "Jiaxing Zhongzuo Thousand Households Office, Songjiang Guard Thousand Households Office, Suzhou Guard, Zhenhai Guard, Taicang Guard, and the Beijing Army of the Shipping Department of Songjiang Prefecture cleared the road yesterday."

"Tongzhou, Chongming, Liuhebao, Baoshan, Wusong River, Nanhuizui, Qingcun, Linshan, and Guanhai Inspection Department have already patrolled the sea."

"Songjiang Mansion and other prefectures and counties posted a yellow list announcing that His Majesty is coming. If there is a shadow of a thief, report a reward of fifty silver coins."

On land, the Thousand Households Office of the Guards Office is in charge, and at sea, the Inspection Department is in charge. It is necessary to ensure the safety of the Ming Emperor.

Only then did Zhu Qiyu nod his head clearly. It wasn't that the enemy was not brave enough, but even if he was brave enough and not strong enough, he couldn't get close to Dajia Yuren.

Zhu Qiyu had layers of moats, and the outermost layer was the people of Daming. After Li Binyan returned to Songjiang Mansion, he actively mobilized the people, conducted group surveys and visits, and asked if there were any suspicious people in the countryside. Once the news was approved, he would immediately reward ten silver coins. to fifty.

The second layer of the moat is the local inspection department guards. A blanket search was carried out in Songjiang Mansion. Nearly 30 stubborn bandit villages were cleared, more than a dozen gangs in the city were cleared, and nearly [-] wanderers social idlers were accommodated and resettled.

For a while, the whole Songjiang Mansion felt completely new.

Whether Li Binyan is sweeping up evil for the safety of the emperor, or using the emperor's prestige to clean up evil, only Li Binyan knows in his heart.

The third layer of the moat is the Beijing army stationed in Nanya. They are mobile at any time. When the inspectors are unable to catch them, they will strike hard. For example, the Xinghai Gang has been entrenched in Hangzhou for many years. The Beijing army needs to strike hard to maintain stability.

The fourth layer of the moat is the Great Ming Jinyi Wei Tiqi, [-] elite Tiqi, even the [-] elite Beijing camp, may not be the opponent of the Tiqi. , If you want to annihilate, at least ten times, twenty times the siege is possible.

The moat on the fifth floor is the Dongchang Fanzi led by Xing'an. The Dongchang Fanzi is equipped with a waist sword and is also known as the Nei Cao Army. However, Nei Cao's skill and combat power cannot be compared with Tiqi, but this Gang Fanzi is playing with people's hearts, but it makes people shudder.

To face the enemy head-on, you need to break through the layers of moats to succeed, otherwise you will die.

Obviously, the enemy this time was not so stupid.

"Compared to before, it is different to want to overthrow Chao Gang and to rebel when making trouble. These people have finally learned to be smart and stopped rebelling. Instead, they put their ideas on my head. There is still progress." Zhu Qiyu praised Nan Nan this time. During the patrol, it is bound to be a means for the rightists to resist.

It is too difficult to overthrow Daming, and it is relatively simple to physically kill the emperor Zhu Qiyu.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Li Binyan's slightly affluent appearance, and said with a smile: "Governor Li, after so many years, Tang Guozhang told me that you have gained weight, but I still don't believe it. You really are fat."

Li Binyan smiled lightly and said: "He has a wide heart and a fat body. If there are few things in Ryukyu, I will naturally get fat."

Compared with the relatively simple things in Ryukyu, the things in Songjiang Mansion are really complicated, and they affect the whole body. Li Binyan took a few months of vacation to go to Ryukyu to show off his might.

Li Binyan said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the matter of the shipyard was caused by my negligence. Please punish me."

"No problem, no one died, just burned a ship and a few tanks of oil." Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said: "You are not in Songjiang Mansion, no wonder you."

Zhu Qiyu did not plan to punish Li Binyan, the main reason was that no one died, Li Binyan went to Ryukyu, and the decision left was to protect the person rather than the ship, between the ship and the person, choose the guarantor, and for this alone, Zhu Qiyu would not punish Li Binyan.

It’s just a ship and a few tanks of oil. If you burn it, you will burn it. Isn’t it money?

If the money is gone, you can make more money, and if the people are gone, you really have nothing.

If the land is lost and people are lost, all people and land are lost; if people are saved and land is lost, all people and land remain.

Li Binyan not only understands this truth, but also does it very well.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Li Binyan hurriedly saluted and thanked him.

Zhu Qiyu eagerly asked: "Is there any interesting place in Songjiang Mansion? I have heard of the name of Songjiang Mansion's Old Academy Book House."

At this time, many courtiers on the jade scorpion of the driver all looked calm.

The Old Courtyard Shuyu is a place for prostitutes. It stands to reason that the courtiers should bluntly admonish the fact that your majesty wants to visit the brothel. A few words about the king of subjugation?

All officials in the Songjiang Mansion who failed to stop His Majesty from looking for flowers and Liu will be impeached.

But all were silent.

His Majesty went south, saying that he wanted to solve the winter sequence, but in fact he came south to raise money for charity.

With money and food, it can guarantee the smooth progress of work-for-relief, and it can ensure that Daming can pass through the winter sequence smoothly.

Your Majesty is going to visit brothels?

His Majesty is obviously going to find out about the situation of the fish, and to find a benevolent person who is willing to donate money.

Jiuyuan Shuyu is the largest gold-selling cave in Songjiang Prefecture. As long as you can find out this fish nest, why worry about no fish?

Li Binyan wiped the cold sweat from his brow and said: "The old courtyard was sealed up last month, mainly because more than half of the prostitutes in this bookstore were former abnormal female households, and there were many private kilns in the old courtyard bookstore, and epidemics frequently occurred. , Fighting and provoking provocations is really not a good place."

"In this old courtyard, competition for extravagance and wealth has become a common practice, and materialistic desires are mercenary, which has led to the decline of people's hearts."

The seizure of the old courtyard was Li Binyan's decision after Yang Han, the commander of Nanzhen Fusi, arrested people last time.

In this place where prostitutes gather, vicious cases occur frequently, and fighting for wealth has turned into fighting with weapons. Various gangs in the city are fighting here.

Li Binyan was not in Songjiang Mansion, but all kinds of ghosts, snakes and demons danced around. In the end, Tiqi supervised the inspection and confiscated the entire old courtyard. All prostitutes had to see a doctor.

"Ah, has it been seized?" Zhu Qiyu found out that his fish nest had been blown up, but he didn't care too much. Li Bin said that if he didn't seize it, Zhu Qiyu would naturally seize it after he had been there.

"Has Xu Youzhen arrived at Songjiang Mansion yet? I heard that he personally escorted a batch of tung oil from Jingzhou Mansion south to Songjiang Mansion to investigate the hydrology and sort out the dredging." Zhu Qiyu asked about Xu Youzhen's movements.

Xu Youzhen's son-in-law Zhu Yu, Jiang Tinggui, Zhu Xiu, Wang Yu and others caused trouble, but Xu Youzhen was not involved, and Xu Youzhen did not write a letter to express his feelings, and the meaning was very clear, His Majesty acted according to the law.

The arson case at the Songjiang Prefecture Shipyard this time caused Songjiang oil to be expensive, and the two treasure ships under construction could not be launched as scheduled. The batch of tung oil escorted by Xu Youzhen was of high quality, and it just solved the urgent need.

Li Binyan had reported the facts, and hurriedly said: "Governor Xu is measuring the hydrology on Chongming Island to verify the deadline for dry and abundant water, and he will rush back to Songjiang Mansion tomorrow."

Xu Youzhen is also very courageous, His Majesty went to Songjiang Mansion today, while others were in Songjiang Mansion, but they measured the hydrology on Chongming Island, so they didn't come to meet Sheng.

Zhu Qiyu didn't care, he and Xu Youzhen hated each other, Xu Youzhen just had to work hard.

Compared with Xu Youzhen's whereabouts, Zhu Qiyu was more concerned about the two treasure ships, and he asked quite seriously: "That is to say, the tung oil is all right, when will the remaining two treasure ships be launched?"

As the commander of the helper of Songjiang Shipyard, Lei Juntai hurriedly said: "It will be [-] days."

Zhu Qiyu said exactly: "Then launch in [-] days. I haven't seen a treasure ship launch yet, so I'll go and see it when the time comes."

He gave a few more days. Under the upwardly responsible monarchy, in order not to keep the emperor waiting for a long time, what Lei Juntai said must be a minimum time limit, Zhu Qiyu gave a few more days.

"What's the difference between these two treasure ships and the previous treasure ships?" Zhu Qiyu asked about the shape of the treasure ships. Although the memorials and drawings were very detailed, he hadn't seen the real ones yet.

Speaking of the treasure ship, Lei Juntai's eyes seemed to be shining brightly and said: "Your Majesty, you will know when it is launched into the water. This is a masterpiece of Craftsman City. It is very different from the previous treasure ships!"

Chapter 671 Literati Qubi, right and wrong black and white reversed theory

"Then I'll just wait." Zhu Qiyu was full of expectations for the new treasure ship, and he was also full of expectations for the civil unrest.

"Crack!"

Zhu Qiyu looked out the window, the originally clear sky changed in just a short stick of incense.

The sky was gloomy and low, and dark clouds covered the entire sky. Occasionally, a flash of lightning illuminated the entire sky, and the sound of thunder and thunder suddenly reached my ears.

"Rumble..."

After the thunder, the raindrops began to fall on the red bricks, blue tiles and white walls. Soon, the sound of the rain became heavier, and it fell into the stagnant water on the ground, creating blisters one by one.

"Jiangnan loves to rain, June day, baby face, change as soon as it changes." Zhu Qiyu closed the car window and talked about the weather.

He changed the subject and continued: "Yang Han and others are investigating the civil unrest, and the ground in Songjiang must cooperate. I have high expectations for them, and I hope they can give me a surprise."

"The ministers and others take the order." Many courtiers took the order.

With the development of the Shipping Department of Songjiang City, the city of Songjiang Prefecture is constantly expanding. There are nearly 200 million people living in private houses in and outside the city of Songjiang Prefecture alone. The city wall is gradually becoming less convenient as the city continues to expand. .

Many cities in the south have requests for the demolition of their city walls. Cities with a population of more than one million can have their walls removed. About 32 cities were the first to demolish their walls.

After Zhu Qiyu entered the city, he saw many construction sites under construction.

Zhu Qiyu came to live in Bieyuan on the bank of Huangpu River in Songjiang Prefecture. This Bieyuan has three sections of walls with different heights. The highest wall is nearly seven feet above. This irregular wall is full of artillery mortars.

After confirming His Majesty's itinerary, the cannons were placed on the mortars.

Outside the city wall is a moat about seven feet wide and more than two feet deep, which is watered by the Huangpu River. Outside the moat is a gentle slope. Anyone who climbs the gentle slope will be covered by artillery fire from the top of the city.

With such a fortress defended by well-trained cavalry, it would take at least [-] troops to break through a hard attack.

Zhu Qiyu came to Whampoa Bieyuan to repair, and Xing'an and Lu Zhong were conducting security investigations on the entire Bieyuan.

Xing'an saw a woman, to be precise, a strange woman who was too beautiful, apparently sent by Songjiang Prefecture according to the custom of Jinan Prefecture.

Jinan Mansion arranged for girls playing and singing by Daming Lake, and it was not surprising that Songjiang Mansion had such an arrangement.

Xing'an frowned slightly, he felt that this woman had practiced martial arts, her shoulders were slightly broad, her back was very straight, her fingers were slender, but they were quite powerful, especially her pair of extremely alert eyes that occasionally flashed a little light.

"Xing'an Dadang, did you find another woman to serve His Majesty?" Ran Siniang's angry voice sounded from behind Xing'an.
