Chapter 46: The Sin of Ten Thousand Deaths

Jiang Jian said it very seriously. He didn't know the identity of Emperor Aoqi, but he knew that Emperor Aoqi was not an ordinary person.

But when he said this.

However, Emperor Tianqi had more doubts in his heart.

"In this way, is the Zhang family using your spinning?"

Jiang Jian frowned and said, "What is the use? We are from a military family and have been in the Jinyiwei for generations, but our fathers and brothers died. Who cares about those people in the guards? There is a vacant position, and I just wish I could put my children, nephews and nephews in desperately and replace the errands that we should have replaced."

When Jiang Jian said this, he showed a hatred expression.

Their father and brother were both loyal to their duties and even paid for their lives, but precisely because they had lost their lives, their wives and children had no support and were bullied.

Jiang Jian said again: "We have no errands and the court does not provide any pensions. But because we are military households, we cannot go out to find a way out, so we can only be trapped in Qingpingfang and achieve nothing. Let's talk about me, what's the use of me? Who would hire someone like me in this capital? To be honest, these years, these days... are really unlimited. The men of the Jinyiwei above bullied them, and the people rolled their eyes below. Everyone regards our children from Jinyiwei as hawks and dogs, and they cannot avoid them."

"I...I..." Speaking of this, Jiang Jian became moved: "Two years ago, my wife gave birth to a child. Because she didn't have enough food, she couldn't get enough money and borrowed all the money and food she should have. In the end... the child still couldn't bear it. There was no way. My wife... She was full and hungry on weekdays, and there was no milk... The child had only lived for four months and was in her cradle. She cried so hungry for a few days. Later, the screams became weaker and weaker. At first, she thought he had fallen asleep, but when she woke up early, she lost her anger..."

The two women beside him started to sob.

When Emperor Tianqi heard this, his heart seemed to be hit by a blunt object, and then his eyes turned red, and liquid was almost flowing out of the corners of his eyes.

Wei Zhongxian's eyes swept over Emperor Tianqi. He immediately understood that His Majesty was remembering the prince who died a few months ago!

The prince was also in his infancy. He was originally the hope of Emperor Apocalypse, but he died overnight.

When Jiang Jian said this, his voice was already choked and he couldn't cry.

Emperor Aoki actually twitched his nose and his eyes were getting better and better. He took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "You keep talking."

Jiang Jian sobbed and said, "I really can't live my life. I don't have to continue three meals. Over the years, winter comes early. In winter, the weather becomes very cold. My mother, at this time, she will have frostbite. Sometimes it's hard to bear, just want to die early. If I hadn't been watching it all the time, I really don't know what it would be like."

"But later, Zhang Baihu thought of a solution. He made this loom and distributed it to each family, so that women from each family could learn how to use this loom to weave cotton yarn. The cotton yarn and fabrics spun were sold. The noble man said just now that this was the Zhang family using us, but this was wrong. Not to mention that the Zhang family provided us with machines and also provided cotton. They gave us money... it was very happy and would never be deducted. This machine is very powerful. The cotton yarn spinned has a good texture, but it was also fast! If you use other looms, you can produce one kilogram of yarn a day, and with this machine, you can produce ten kilograms! So, thank you, my mother and my wife, are also working hard, but the money... are earned in real terms."

Speaking of this, Jiang Jian's eyes were filled with tears, and light came out: "Just my family, how much money can you get every day, do you know?" He licked his mouth: "Yesterday it was seventy-nine, and there were more the day before yesterday..."

Seventy-nine...one day...

This money is really not worth mentioning to the Emperor Apocalypse and others standing here.

But Emperor Tianqi only looked at Jiang Jian's tone, but he already knew that this was of great value to the Jiang family.

Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "A day is seventy-nine, and this calculation makes you nearly three taels of silver. I heard that ordinary people in the capital can barely make a living if they can get one tael of silver a month. This income is quite expensive."

"Of course it's not expensive, this is real money." Jiang Wu said seriously: "So all of us are grateful to Zhang Baihu. If it weren't for Zhang Baihu, we would still be hungry and cold."

These words come from the heart and are by no means false.

Emperor Aoki just stood there motionlessly.

Jiang Jian’s experience reminded him of his son again.

A pain like a knife suffocating him even more.

At this moment, people suddenly heard the neighing sounds outside, and countless steps were getting faster and faster.

Everyone felt a storm coming.

At this moment, a small eunuch hurried in: "Your Majesty... I heard that Your Majesty has left the palace, the cabinet, the various departments, the factory guards, the soldiers and soldiers of the five cities are here to serve."

It turned out that the news of the emperor's tour leaked, and the officials did not dare to neglect it, so they inquired at the same time and then ran towards this place.

When Jiang Jian heard of His Majesty, he felt like a bolt from the blue and was so scared that he fell to the ground.

Emperor Tianqi was unmoved. He had no expression on his face. He was silent for a long time. He nodded secretly and walked out of the house slowly.

Walking out of the darkness of the wing room, the gloomy face that was originally hidden in the darkness was gradually illuminated by the sun, but the emperor's face was still covered with a layer of clouds, which was unpredictable.

There were already crowds of people outside, and the civil and military officials who rushed over, with countless guards, soldiers and servants, were already saluting: "Long live my emperor."

Emperor Aoki seemed a little tired, his eyes facing the crowd.

Wei Zhongxian, Zhang Jingyi and Han Lin followed closely behind, after a brief hesitation.

Han Lin had already realized that something was wrong, so he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... This person named Jiang Jian should not be trusted easily. Besides, even so, everything is as he said. The Jiang family is a military household, according to the ancestral law of my Ming Dynasty..."

When he said this, Emperor Aoki did not interrupt him.

But... Wei Zhongxian, who was standing beside Han Lin, had already knocked and fell to the ground.

Jiu Qiansui's kneeling in front of all officials immediately made everyone feel rare.

But at this time, Wei Zhongxian was completely unsightly, but was heartbroken: "Your Majesty, I have been guilty of death for thousands of deaths, and the orphans of the factory guards, and I was in charge of the East Factory, but I could not notice it in advance, so Liu Si, Jiang Jianren and others... suffered this trouble and were inadvertent, but I was not careful. Fortunately... Zhang Baihu had such a righteous act to make up for the loss of sheep for the slaves. Otherwise, if Jiang Jian and other loyal things happened again, I would be unable to forgive me for death."

Wei Zhongxian said, and cried and said with tears in his eyes, "I suggest that the factory guards should immediately make up for the loss of the sheep and come up with practical methods to relieve Jiang Jian and others. The factory guards who show their power in front of them on weekdays should also investigate and clarify the responsibilities. As for the Zhang family, if it were not for their relief, the matter would be difficult to recover. I... I will summon the factory guards and learn from Zhang Baihu together... I will also ask for their own guilt, please ask Your Majesty... to stick a slave and teach me how to remember."

“…”

As the censor, Han Lin hates his most and is interrupted by others.

He had already thought of several reasons for quibbling, but he didn't know that Wei Zhongxian, a dog, said he would kneel down, and then apologize, and even cried while apologizing.

Damn...

Even Zhang Jingyi was stunned by this operation. Sure enough... she is worthy of being Eunuch Wei, I must learn it well.

But Han Lin’s only thought at this time was… Old Dog Wei misled me!

Wei Zhongxian is so powerful that the most trusted person around His Majesty has bowed his head and apologized. Han Lin, a small censor, is there anything he can do to argue about!
