The red building is so arrogant

chapter 82

Because Wang Xifeng was bitten to death, she wanted to wait for Jia Zhen to come to the door on her own initiative, and then take the opportunity to bring up the incident of the attack, so she had to temporarily slack off.

However, the intrusion of the Uxi people into the sea and frontier is getting more and more serious.

On the fourth day of May in the third year of Longyuan, the fleet of the Wuxi people suddenly appeared at the mouth of the Yangtze River and launched an attack on the two counties of Haiding and Haizhen, which were holding the mouth of the sea.

Fortunately, there are a large number of coastal forts in Haiding Haizhen County.

The two sides fought fiercely for two days, and the fleet of the Uxi Kingdom could not obtain any benefit, and because of concerns about the supply problem, it had to temporarily withdraw south.

By the end of May, the Wuxi even lifted the blockade of Yangcheng Port and instead sent messengers to consult with officials from Guangdong and Guangxi.

It is hoped that the Xia Kingdom can resume trade with Wuxi Kingdom, compensate for the losses suffered by officials and businessmen of Wuxi Kingdom, and at the same time allow some special drugs that produce autotoxicity to enter the Xia Kingdom for public sale.

Such unreasonable demands were naturally rejected by the court.

However, the uproar and doubts caused by this did not disappear because of the tough attitude of the court. After all, Daxia has never suffered such a big loss in the more than [-] years since its establishment.

As a lot of information has been made public, the public's views on Taizu's militarism and preparations for the establishment of the "Blue Sea Division" have also taken a 180-degree turn.

Especially when it was discovered that the forts in Haiding and Haizhen counties were also built during the reign of Taizu.

On the other hand, Emperor Sejong's reputation has been greatly compromised - since the military has become far-sighted, caring for the people's sentiments has naturally become short-sighted.

Even if the imperial court conducted a certain degree of public opinion guidance and suppression, it was still difficult to reverse the popular trend.

And this trend has not yet passed. Today, the news of the intention to reform the Ministry of Industry and the Navy has occupied various pages in June.

In the general direction, the ministers in the DPRK and the Central Committee also agree that the Ministry of Industry and the Navy need to carry out a certain degree of reform, so that on the premise of greatly improving the quality of warships, they can rebuild a fleet that can compete with foreigners.

But on some small details, the rulers and ministers disagreed.

For example, the emperor intended to split the Ministry of Industry Yu Heng Qingli Division into Baigong Division and Ordnance Division, and promoted some craftsmen in these two departments to serve as middle-level officials.

The civil servants had little opinion on splitting Yu Heng's Qing Li Division, and they were reluctant to accept the regret that the new department's name was not elegant enough.

But for the super-skilled craftsman, he is quite critical about serving as a middle-level official in the Ministry of Industry.

Since Emperor Sejong, although some skilled craftsmen in the Ministry of Industry have still been awarded official status, they can only serve as ninth-rank, sub-ninth-rank, or even minor officials.

There are very few existences who can reach the eighth rank in their lifetime.

But according to the meaning of Emperor Longyuan, it is to raise the ceiling of the craftsman as an official again to the level of a sixth-rank master, or even a fifth-rank master.

This moved the cheese of the civil servants.

So from the end of June, various newspapers began to publish anonymous articles, criticizing the court's inversion of superiority and humiliation.

After these articles were published for a period of time, some people in the DPRK and China raised them as 'public opinion' and jointly published them in mid-July, imploring the emperor to think twice and not go against public opinion.

…………

Shaotou on the moon, come to the small courtyard.

Laishun unhappily rolled up the Zong Er essays in his hand, secretly scolding the author of this age for being a fool.

Every three issues [half a month] only [-] words of 'Liu Bei' are published, but it's just a matter of abruptly announcing the postponement. The author has no shame in publishing an argumentative essay praising and criticizing current politics.

The content is not unexpected, but it is also accusing the court of overtaking the craftsman.

Didn't they all play together?
Why isn't it over yet?

The author either received black money or is a stakeholder himself.

Uh……

Could this be written by Jia Zheng? !
An absurd idea popped into Laishun's mind, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Shun'er, come out to eat!"

At this time, Xu Shi's call came from the hall.

Laishun pressed the newspaper under the pillow, picked up the curtain and went outside, and saw Mrs. Xu put a soup bowl on the table, and squeezed his ears with both hands to suck in the cold air vertically.

"mother."

Laishun couldn't help but persuaded: "You've been busy all day, you can just make two at night. What kind of soup are you cooking?"

"Where is that?"

Xu's bowl and chopsticks were handed to her husband and son respectively, and she said, "You have been running to the shop every day these few days. Today's south of the city and tomorrow's north of the city, I'm afraid that your legs are running thin, how can you do it if you don't make up for it? "

"He's the chief shopkeeper now."

Before waiting for his son to open his mouth, Laiwang interjected first: "Can the stewards in the shops still starve him? I'm used to big fish and meat every day, so I'd better get something light when I get home."

Laishun also hurriedly echoed.

Later, Laiwang sat down on the main seat, and asked if the stove in the east compartment of the Xu family was completely extinguished. After receiving a positive answer, he invited his wife and children to sit down for dinner.

Since there was only a family of three in this courtyard, it seemed a little deserted.

In addition, as August was approaching, the tire shop was about to officially open, so no matter how hard I tried to calm down, the uneasiness still lingered.

In order to ease the heavy atmosphere, Laiwang took the initiative to break the rule of not saying goodbye: "Today, I took time to go to the Qingli Division of Wuxuan again, and I found out about the first attack on the nobility, which has not happened for more than ten years. , if it really gets to that point, this may be a gimmick that can be exploited."

Because of the hereditary title of this dynasty, only when Emperor Sejong came to the throne, there was a wave of wholesale sales. It has been 56 years since then.

If the youngest recipient was still alive, he would have to be at least 75 years old.

What's more, most of the first-generation seals were middle-aged and elderly people with high power and status, and many of them have been passed down for three generations.

Some have even been downgraded to white Ding, and have been completely removed from the circle of lords.

Like Jiao Da, the first generation of recipients who have not passed on the title, I am afraid this is the only case in the court, there is no other family.

Laishun swallowed the food in his mouth, nodded and said: "Then after we finished eating, we father and I will change the manuscript again? Or simply use 'shock, the unique miracle in the past 20 years, it happened again in the Ministry of War recently. ’ as a headline.”

"Uh……"

Although in the past two months, he has already experienced his son's 'shocked body', but Laiwang still finds it difficult to adapt.

After pondering for a long time, he hesitated and suggested: "Why don't you find a talented person to help you polish it up? This whole article is exaggerated vernacular, but I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate."

"father!"

Laishun insisted on his own opinion: "We are all contacting the market tabloids, and it is with this exaggerated vernacular that the news can be spread as soon as possible!"

After a pause, he added: "Besides, if the rumors are leaked because of this, wouldn't it be self-defeating?"

He didn't look up to the literati of this year, but because of the articles that were published in the newspapers recently, except for the writing, he despised these old literati more and more.

Of course, this is mainly because it is almost impossible for Laishun to gain fame, otherwise he will have to put on another face when he comes to someone.

"Ugh……"

Seeing that his opinion was rejected by his son, Laiwang couldn't help but feel his father's emotion when he gave birth to a child.

But immediately, he began to worry about the sales of pneumatic tires: "I don't know if the shop will be able to do what you want after opening - if it can't reach the point of making a lot of money, let's not talk about how the government will react, then Mr. Zhen I'm afraid I won't take the initiative to come to the door."

"You can rest assured."

Laishun has long been surprised by his father's always looking forward and backward.

He chewed the double-boiled pork and said, "A few days ago, I used the name of the mansion to send [-] tires to the respectable people in the capital, and now the feedback is mostly good. When will our pneumatic tires be sold out?"

Since it is scheduled to open on the fifth day of August, and it is already July 26th, it is of no practical significance to hide this pneumatic tire.

What's more, this thing still has some technical barriers. If you want to imitate it and sell it in batches, it will take at least half a year - after all, with the power of the Rongguofu, Wang Family, and Xue Family, it also took nearly nine months. Complete this process.

Therefore, it is time to make the decision and make a big reward in advance, in order to create a head start.

Laiwang was only habitually skeptical, but after listening to his son's certainty, he was relieved a lot.

So the family of three didn't say much more, and the whole yard fell silent again.

After finishing the meal, Mr. Xu was left to clean the table by himself, while the father and son came to the east room, spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and began to concoct the "shocked body" article.

　Thanks to book friends: It turns out that Daliang, Met Fielding, Zhuang Zhoumengdie q, Beiyu Demon King, seemingly pure...——rewards.
