Seeing that Xu Guangqi still turned Xiyi's eyes over, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but caress his forehead and said helplessly: "Make guns and cannons first and equip the troops, take your time."

After pausing, Zhu Youxiao added: "Although Johnson Chan cannons, he is not a professional. You must also hurry up to hire Western craftsmen. In addition, it is not difficult to learn and imitate, right?"

The Red Cannon is not a high-tech game. The ability of the Edonglu can be successfully imitated in a very short time and used in the Battle of Songjin, let alone the technical strength and craftsman level of the Ming Dynasty?

Zhu Youxiao fully supported the Weapons and Gunpowder Bureau. Not only did he invested money, but he also merged the military battles of the Royal Inner Palace, adding more than 2,000 craftsmen at once.

Xu Guangqi hurriedly replied: "The casting and imitation of artillery have begun. The Western craftsmen hired by the imperial envoy Sun Xueshi in Macau and the skillful craftsmen recruited in southern Fujian will arrive in the capital soon."

Because of its near-shore relationship, southern Fujian first came into contact with Westerners and Western firearms. Since the large-scale imitation of Fran machine cannons in the Ming Dynasty, the gun-making and cannon-making technology in southern Fujian has become famous nationwide.

Not only that, the Minnan people also secretly learned the techniques of Westerners using artillery, including the ranging, aiming, adjusting the elevation angle, loading gunpowder and even the final firing method, and passed on from generation to generation.

Because of this, the Fujian gunners in the Ming army were the most powerful. In the Battle of Ningyuan in history, a group of Fujian gunners were the ones who controlled artillery and made contributions.

"Learn the technology as soon as possible. After the copy is successful, I will send craftsmen to Guangdong to establish an artillery factory." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "What is the production of Lumi guns? How is the quality guaranteed?"

Xu Guangqi replied: "The rules and regulations are complete, and all processes are strictly supervised. The completion of gun construction must be marked to determine responsibilities. Now production is gradually on track and the monthly production of 1,000 doors should not be a problem."

There are so many craftsmen, apart from those who make cannons, there are thousands of them that can build muskets! One person makes one per month, and the production goal of producing a thousand per month can be easily achieved.

Of course, this is just a small goal. As the proficiency of craftsmen increases and the increase in production equipment, the output will continue to increase.

"Okay, very good." Zhu Youxiao's son praised and said to the ministers with a smile: "Tomorrow, the firearms will be demonstrated in the suburbs of Beijing, and all the ministers will go to watch them when they have time. To subdue the Donglu, they must be sharp firearms."

Everyone nodded with a smile, but Bi Zisu hesitated for a moment and bowed and said, "If a technician enters Beijing tomorrow, it is difficult for the weak ministers to get out of here."

Zhu Youxiao rolled his eyes secretly, but he wasn't too angry. Anyway, this military weapon had nothing to do with Bi Zisu, so it would be fine if he didn't go.

"If you have time, go there. If you are busy with official business, you can do it if you don't." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand generously and said, "If all the officials have nothing to do, let's go here today!"

Sun Chengzong and others stood up and bowed and said they could sit with Long Live to discuss politics. What kind of holy favor is this?

The more courteous the emperor treats him, the more eager he looks forward to him, the more he feels the burden on his shoulders. They are all influenced by Confucianism, who can be unfaithful and responsible?

……………………………….

Refugees existed throughout the Ming Dynasty. They were even more common in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and were not a product after the arrival of the Little Ice Age.

Natural disasters, loss of land, and unbearable taxes and labor, are the reasons for refugees.

In the Ming Dynasty, these were not specifically mentioned. Anyone who had no land could be called refugees, such as urban handicraftsmen, etc.

But from the first month of the second year of Tianqi, hundreds of thousands of Liao people became representatives of refugees. They dragged their families and carried carts to carry loads. After passing Shanhaiguan, they flocked to the prefectures and counties in the northern Zhili provinces.

Although the imperial court had long issued orders to the prefectures and prefectures to open warehouses for relief, work-for-relief, and try to resettle as much as possible.

The emperor also issued the treasury as resettlement fees, and the Liao people who left their hometowns were still inevitably suffering.

Fortunately, there was a large granary in Tongzhou, the northern starting point of the canal transportation, which could be transferred nearby, which caused very few people to starve to death by the Liao people.

Build warehouses, build government offices, repair cities, flatten roads, and build water conservancy...

In accordance with the instructions of the court, governments in various places began to carry out infrastructure construction in the warm spring season and in the sharp drop in wages.

At the same time, local governments also called on and encourage wealthy families in the country to build houses and repair houses, dig pools and build gardens to accommodate more Liao people.

There is no way to stop working hard. The emperor has issued an imperial edict and sent Dongchang Fanzi to conduct open and secret investigations; the Censorate also sent a censor to inspect, and no matter where he is not doing well, he doesn't have to be a official.

Luanzhou, Cangzhou, Changping, Jingzhou... In just a short time, seven or eight prefectures and counties have been dismissed and held accountable. Who dares to slack off and play?

These local officials are just small shrimps, and another official was arrested for corruption, which shows the change in the focus of the Censorate's work.

Regardless of whether the new official takes office or not, whether it is the reconnaissance of the factory guards or the Censorate's actions, as long as the court's determination and strength in fighting corruption are demonstrated.

It was still related to the grain transportation. Cui Chengxiu, who was inspecting Huaiyang as a censor, should have sanctioned officials and rectified the chaos, but he used this power to solicit bribes and corrupt officials. Corrupt officials were able to reign, while honest officials were badly evaluated.

It can also be said that this is a scandal within the Censorate. It is also the cleanup portal since Bi Zisu took over.

Immediately afterwards, the operation to clean up the portal found more than a dozen censors and censors, charged with "extensive bribery".

As a guarantee of the anti-corruption system of the Ming Dynasty, censors, censors, and six departments were also responsible for exposing corruption.

But some censors and censors use the power in their hands as a means of corruption. For example, Cui Chengxiu, if he goes to the local area to verify the administration of the government, he will ask for bribes. If he does not give any benefits, he will write a book on you.

Yang Wenju, a minister in charge during the Wanli period, was even more cruel than Cui Chengxiu, and he asked for bribes at every place to reach tens of thousands of taels of silver.

The censors in the capital are staring at the officials who come to Beijing to report their duties. If you don’t give me any benefits, you will be charged with a crime and put a hat on it.

There are even some censors who collect money and do things. I will impeach whoever you ask me to impeach. They are very credible in the troll industry.

The court's handling of the court is as cruel as ever, and will never be delayed.

Waves of shock spread from the capital to the local area. The big articles in the mansion were all about the deposed and the crimes were deposed due to corruption. The Ming Dynasty officialdom seemed to be experiencing a storm, which was shocking.

At this time, the sound of cannons in the martial arts field in the suburbs of Beijing was rumbling and the earth was shaking, and a shocking scene was being staged.

Several red cannons spit out smoke and flames, shooting shells at the preset targets in the distance, and after landing, they stirred up dust and ash smoke.
