Chapter 138
After seeing it, Yuanchun ordered a reward.
After everyone had finished thanking them, the deacon and eunuch said, "It's already the third quarter of the year. Please drive back to Luan."
After hearing this, Yuanchun couldn't help but burst into tears again.
But she forced a smile, held the hands of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, held them tight and couldn't bear to let them go, and warned her again and again:
"Don't worry about it, live a good life and support yourself. Now that God's grace is so great, I can go in and inspect it once a month. I can see you all, so why be miserable. If God's grace is still allowed to return to the province next year, you must not spend it so extravagantly. !”
Jia Mu and others were so choked with tears that it was difficult to speak.Although Concubine Jia couldn't bear to say goodbye, she couldn't break the royal rules and had no choice but to go to court.
Although Yuanchun was just an erected memorial arch, the royal family still wanted to save face, and the rules and regulations she followed during the wedding ceremony were the royal dignity.
In addition to Yuanchun, the two concubines Wu and Wei were also among them.
For a few days, the capital was bustling with people, and the people were talking about the three concubines' magnificence.
It is said that the old emperor was too ill to get out of bed because he was not rescued in time due to poisoning, so he could only sit in meditation.Cen Mingche also sealed Yuanchun as a memorial arch, indicating that he would not treat the veterans of the previous dynasty badly, so as to appease all the ministers.
But in fact, Cen Mingche had already had the idea of taking action against these aristocratic families.
After all, these families annexed the most land and did not pay taxes, which made the emperor's "owning the world" a joke.
Then there’s the road building.
It's funny to say that several years have passed and this road has not yet been completed.
Also, the trap Cen Mingche laid in the salt field can be stopped.
Various measures are being implemented in an orderly manner.
But at the same time, the old emperor, now the supreme emperor, had improved in health after recuperating for a long time.
No one is willing to give up their rights, and the old emperor is no exception.
Cen Mingche behaved very respectfully and left the handling of his eldest brother to the Supreme Emperor.
However, when he couldn't hold it back, he kicked Cen Mingyuan from the side, sending him flying and hitting a pillar, breaking his lumbar spine.
With the medical level of this era, Cen Mingyuan will never be able to control his waist below the rest of his life.
The Supreme Emperor still gave his son a way to survive, deposed him as a commoner, and sent him to guard the imperial mausoleum.
The queen was not so lucky, but she only had three feet of white silk to end her life.
But the Emperor was not satisfied with this.
He also wants to "check his homework."
In other words, he has to check Cen Mingche's political orders.
Once you find something is not to your liking, you will be reprimanded.
This is not about being an emperor, this is about being a grandson.
There was no other way, the people who controlled the military power were still the Supreme Emperor, so Cen Mingche had to grit his teeth and admit it.
But fortunately, the Supreme Emperor will not live long.
Now it's just a matter of endurance, see who can endure who.
Anyway, Cen Mingche is confident that he will never die before his father.
Moreover, the principal cannot move, but the deputy can always move, right?
Except for the "veteran minister" who can only live with the Supreme Emperor, everyone else knows it very well.
Cen Mingche is the rising sun, and the Supreme Emperor is the setting sun. It goes without saying which side to stand on.
However, with the word "filial piety", Cen Mingche still has to pretend to be a grandson for a while.
But fortunately, the Emperor's health was completely broken, and he was unable to go to court. It was difficult to see too many tricks, so that Cen Mingche could subtly hand over power.
The former Concubine Zhen escaped from the previous empress and was now "promoted" to the rank of Concubine Tai. However, her son died. For a long time, she kept her face and grieved at the same time.
After all, the son she gave birth to in ten months of pregnancy was also the hope of the Zhen family in the future. How could she not be sad if it was just gone?
After finally getting rid of the swelling on her cheeks which were so red and swollen that they became transparent, Concubine Zhen quickly went to serve the Emperor.
After all, the Supreme Emperor still has some power in his hands.
She could only rely on the Supreme Emperor.
Cen Mingche continued to support those old ministers who did not do practical things, and gave them rewards from time to time. He maintained their dignity like burning oil and flowers to fool his good father.
As for matters such as road construction and salt field restructuring, they were left to the original neutral party.
Many ministers are not ministers of an emperor, but ministers of a country.
They were loyal to whoever sat on the throne.
These people are available.
Many times, whether you can use a minister does not depend on whether he is corrupt or not, or who he was loyal to before.
But it depends on his ability.
For example, there is an official who is good at controlling floods, but is very greedy for money.
Every time money was appropriated for flood control, he would embezzle [-]% of it.
However, he was greedy for the [-]% of the silver, and the water treatment was effective.
If another person is replaced, even if this person is very honest and not greedy for a penny, he will not be able to cultivate to the level of a greedy person, and the water control will not be effective, and he will have to continue to invest.
Therefore, "honest officials" and "loyal ministers" like Hai Rui can only be used as memorial arches. Those who are really useful must be capable ministers.
Otherwise, there may be a bunch of stupid people in front of you, and they have a ulterior motive.
As for corruption...
There were two pocket crimes in the feudal dynasty, one was rebellion and the other was corruption.
Rebellion is more fabricated than real.
Corruption, obviously everyone is corrupt, but it only becomes a problem when you are being investigated.
When those in power want to deal with people, these two charges are best used, especially when their true crimes cannot be made public.
Or it’s called “pocket crime”, which means you can put anything in it.
Therefore, officials should be greedy. When the time comes when they run out of money, they can check the accounts, confiscate the property, demote the person, and reinstate him when he needs it.
The same is true for Cen Mingche. As long as his policies and decrees can be implemented, corruption and bribery are trivial matters, as long as they are temporarily written down.
When you need to take care of people, take it out and use it again.
What is this called?
This is called a handle.
Once you have the handle, you can use it to deal with whoever blocks your way in the future. It will be fair and just.
This is how the emperor and his ministers restrained each other.
There is no way, this is not only a problem of the system and productivity, but also a problem of human nature.
On the other side, Zhong Zhou has also delivered a perfect answer to glass production.
Otherwise, there would not have been that much yellow gunpowder used to blast the inner wall.
Cen Mingche gave him the second task.
New loom.
A jenny loom, to be precise.
The Jenny spinning machine is mainly used for spinning yarn. The shuttle is changed to a flying shuttle, and several spindles are arranged vertically and driven by a spinning wheel. It is a multi-spindle hand-spinning machine.
It is equipped with 8 spindles and is suitable for spinning cotton, wool and linen fibers.
This is the simplest new textile machine. Although it still requires manpower, its efficiency is eight times higher than before.
Going a step further, there are reel spinning machines.
It is powered by water power and does not need to be operated by humans. The yarn spun is tough and strong, which solves the technical problem of producing pure cotton cloth.
However, the yarn spun by machines such as water-powered spinning machines is too thick and bulky. A tall factory building must be built, and it must be built next to a river, and a large number of workers must be concentrated to operate it.
