Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Diligent Internal Officials Under Rewards
The size of the palm is about two fingers. When the flower blooms, you can see black ointment inside.
Lin Shulu picked out some cream with a silver spoon and ate it, and his complexion improved significantly. However, after covering the iron box, he put it in his hand and rubbed it, always trying to open it.
Shuangxi, who was standing, saw Lin Shulu's appearance. She walked forward two steps. She knelt on the ground, lowered her voice and cried and said:
"Uncle, this ointment is damaged by taking it. The medicine you always drink does not cure the root cause. If you use this ointment to burn your spirit, something big will happen! Lin Shulu looked a little dazed, and the pain of the cough just now disappeared. He spoke after a while:
"What big thing, what big thing can happen? Have the cream done all the finishes?"
Seeing that Lin Shulu's expression had returned to calm, she didn't dare to say more, so she reached out to wipe her tears, kowtowed and said:
"After taking the paste I bought outside the city, I buried the person on the side of the deserted slope outside the city, and no one would know about it."
Lin Shulu nodded, and could hear that the energy in the middle was much more than that, and he said:
"Prepare to get out of the soft sedan and go to the paying room."
"Uncle. You just took the medicine and took the ointment. Take a rest here for a while.
"Bastard!! Why are you like a woman? This is the time when the various supervisors are replenishing their staff. If I am not there, how can I do things? Don't talk nonsense, prepare sedan chairs!!"
In March of the ninth year of Wanli, the palace supplemented the imperial palace. Because there was no large-scale eunuch supplement since the middle and late Jiajing period, most eunuchs were weak and aging.
The supplement started since the late Longqing period, but the amount of supplements was not too large. All work in the palace was quite difficult to operate. After many discussions by the officials, the Imperial Supervisors, the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the Inner Official Supervisors, they reported to Empress Dowager Cisheng, Empress Dowager Rensheng, and Emperor Wanli, and prepared to exchange for 1,500 old and weak eunuchs to guard the imperial tombs and imperial villages. The vacancies were supplemented by the outside of the palace.
The young and strong in the palace, and several nobles knew in their hearts that this order was also corrected. Although the outer court was quite taboo about this, they could not express any objections.
Wumingbai everywhere has become a disaster. Good people and even wealthy families have suffered from it. These Wumingbai, who are neither human nor ghost, joins the palace, can be regarded as a way to guide the palace.
The guards of the imperial tombs and the imperial villages are on duty, but they just clean up and have no busy work. But they have no communication with the outside world. To put it bluntly, they are waiting to die, and the remaining shortages are filled with the nameless white stuffed in.
Some people are castrated by their parents or their relatives or castrated themselves. Some people want to enter the palace to gain wealth and honor. These unknown whites are no longer considered normal people.
In addition to the child eunuch under ten years old who may be lucky enough to be prosperous and prosperous in the future, most unknown whites will only engage in hard labor when entering the palace. But compared to the life outside, which is neither human nor ghost, at least food and clothing are guaranteed. And there is an extremely vague opportunity for wealth and honor in front of you.
If you want to make a fortune in your career outside the palace, you need to take the imperial examination step by step. If you are a Jinshi, the eunuchs in the palace want to become eunuchs. You also have to go to the Nei Shutang to study. The writing experience of various supervisory bureaus and yamen is important to have the opportunity to become so-called eunuchs. You have the opportunity to be called eunuchs.
The people coming in outside have no meaning at all, they are just replenishing their staff. So after the eunuchs in the 12th Supervisor, the 4th Branch and the 8th Branch of the 12th Supervisor, and the minor supervisors of the Supervisors set the number of staff allocated to various places, they were too lazy to care about the rest of the matter. They left it to the Chief Secretary and the Supervisors below to do it.
However, the eunuch Lin Shulu, the supervisor, showed his diligence as always, and went to see and pick in person. The Imperial Horse Supervision needed some brave people to do things in various camps, and some smart people to go to various imperial shops. Perhaps this was one of the reasons why eunuch Lin was present in person.
Since he was on site to choose, he was the main person selected by the other supervisory bureaus. Eunuch Lin was the top five in the palace.
No wonder people from the inner courts everywhere do not go, and the work of picking and replenishing the staff is very complicated and laborious, but there is no benefit. These lowest-level labor will not help the people who choose them, and what is the effort to do.
However, Eunuch Lin proved that his reputation for diligence was not a false one. He was busy there for several days without any relaxation and chose a large number of people to enter the palace.
This behavior was heard by the two nobles, Empress Dowager Rensheng and Empress Dowager Cisheng, and was praised for a few words, which was something that everyone expected.
These shipbuilders from Shandong came to Tianjin to guard the ship, some were willing, while others were intimidated. Wu Da, who was looking for boatmen in the coastal areas of Shandong, did everything he could do.
Needless to say, it is easy to say, and some people are invited. Some people think that they can also make a fortune in Shandong, and it is also good to live with their wives and children, but Wu Da is not a good person who eats vegetarian food. He tied up children, burned houses, and even dug up ancestral graves.
How can a strong man do such a craftsman who makes money by doing business? He has no choice but to come.
After most craftsmen came, they were moved by the prosperity of Tianjin Wei. They had forbidden the sea for so many years. The craftsmen who dared to build ships were more active than those farmers who were farming in silence. They used to be in Shandong. Just hearing the hearing and seeing the real scenes here today, they realized that the so-called rumors were not as good as seeing with their own eyes.
They were also led to see the river, the sea, and the numerous shops by the small canal by the sea, and see that this is not inferior to the prosperity of any place in the world.
After reading these, all the smart people understand that Tianjin Wei needs to build ships here. A large number of sea ships need to be built. The ships will bring greater wealth to Tianjin Wei. But they will also make the shipbuilders rich.
With such a scale and such prosperity, shipbuilding here is more promising than those in the villages on the seaside of Shandong.
When some ambitious shipwrecks were taken to the wooden farm, they saw huge trees that were said to be only available in the deep mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou and the South Ocean. Seeing such big trees, they thought about what kind of big ship they could build.
Some were moved, ambitions, and some wanted to go home, but although the soldiers on Tianjin Guard were very polite to them, the guards were strict and no one could escape.
Moreover, the shipbuilders were somewhat entangled with the pirates and the local green forests. Everyone still understood what the weight of Wang Tong, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, was. They didn’t know what the weight of Wang Tong, and they had heard of the infamous reputation of the two brothers Wu Da and Wu. Both of the evil men were ordered by Wang Tong and could not afford to offend them.
After the boatmen came to Tianjin Wei, their lives were very moist, and they were full of fish and meat. They killed sheep and pigs every day. They had a hundred meters of white flour, and they were full of oil.
Such meals may not be eaten every day in Shandong, but here they promised that as long as they work in Tianjin Wei, they could eat them every day, and they also promised that when the time comes, they could live a happy life.
In all aspects, Tianjin Wei has put a lot of effort into these shipwrecks and has to be moved.
On March 18th, all skilled boatmen were concentrated in Zhaojiawan, three miles north of the mouth of the Haihe River. This was the place where the grain ships from the Tianjin Weijun Port were docked. Later, they were abandoned and only a dozen families made a living here.
When the boatmen arrived here, the site had been specially cleaned up here, and the house warehouses were built. The docks were also built. The abandoned ports were rebuilt.
One hundred and sixty-three craftsmen came to the dock to wait, more than a hundred steps away from the dock. However, there was a pillar that was ten feet tall. There seemed to be something hanging on the pillar, covered with oil cloth, and there were several soldiers guarding the guards with solemn expressions. It was quite mysterious. I don’t know what it was, but the craftsmen were staring and whispering.
Seeing that it was almost noon, smoke and dust rose up in the west, the generals looked around for a few times and shouted to ask the craftsmen to stand up because Lord Wang was here.
Most of the craftsmen brought by Wu Da had never seen Wang Tong, but the Huwei Army won many times and the Tianjin Wei was prosperous like this. The admiration and respect of the soldiers when they talked about it made them fascinated. When they heard people coming, they were shouted to follow the rules. But they still couldn't help looking over.
"So young!!"
When Wang Tong dismounted, he was hugged by everyone and walked in front of him. The boatmen were all surprised, and some unstable people even exclaimed. Wang Tong ignored the surprise. He just walked to the pillar with a smile and greeted everyone.
After gathering, Wang Tong spoke:
"Dear masters, have you seen the Oki in Kiba? Did you see the Flying Deer gunship parked in the port?
After coming to Tianjin Wei these days, I have seen the craftsman's shop and the wooden yard, and naturally I have also looked around on the gunship docked in the Haihe River. I saw the boatmen below nodding. Wang Tong said with a smile:
"I'm sure you know the intention of asking all the masters here. I'm asking you to build a ship like the Flying Deer, or even a larger ship."
This was what the craftsmen thought of, but they were not very excited and were invited here. It was nothing more than working for money, which was no different from being in Shandong. They made more money.
After Wang Tong finished speaking, he turned around and pulled off the mask covering the pillar. Everyone present, except for a few soldiers who knew the inside story, couldn't help but say "ah".
There are many wooden sticks inserted on the wooden pillar. At a high level, it looks like a dead tree, but there are shining golden cakes hanging at the ends of the wooden sticks. Each golden cake has a child's palm that is one finger thick.
Hundreds of golden cakes were hung there, and the golden light was dazzling. Everyone was calculating how much silver the gold on the wooden pillar would be worth. What a fortune!
"Master Meng Side made great efforts in the shipyard to build a great contribution, and came up to get two golden cakes!" Wang Tong said loudly with a smile.
Chapter completed!
