False eunuch in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 11

[The book has been signed, and the status should be changed next week.Children's shoes can be collected with confidence.The old horse is still pointing to earn a little money, so he must write with his heart.If you see something good, use it with tickets; if you see something bad, use it with money. 】

"Hey, it's really not challenging to deal with this kind of bumpkin who has never seen the world." Cao Qing shook his head.

It took these old fried dough sticks to kneel on the ground for a stick of incense, that is, about a quarter of an hour. Those old fried dough sticks were used to being domineering, so where did they suffer so much?But even if they knew that Cao Qing was rectifying them with the imperial decree, they didn't dare to complain.Who didn't pay attention to others at the beginning?Only at this time did they remember that this young man was about the same age as the little emperor, maybe he was the little emperor's childhood playmate.No matter how the little emperor was overtaken by Nine Thousand Years, his power was not comparable to that of ordinary officials.It is not comparable to the group of soy saucers like myself.If people find a reason to talk about fighting and killing, they really don't even have a chance to resist.

"When I came here, the emperor told me that the people in the inner palace are still loyal to the emperor, and these loyal people should be treated well. But for those who deceive others and hide their opinions from others, they should be beaten as they should. I should be killed! Since the emperor ordered me to come to the military battle bureau, that is trust in me. I will do my best to get things done. Everyone is an old man from the military battle bureau, and has more experience than me. So, please take care of me in the future. Everyone, please get up!" Cao Qing let these old fried dough sticks get up.

These old fried dough sticks not only did not complain about Cao Qing's intentional punishment, but were very grateful.With the holy decree, Cao Qing can clean up all the old men in the military battle bureau and support his own people to come up. Will the military battle bureau be his family's opinion in the future?But there are not so many people.Even though he was bumped by these old fritters, he was punished by kneeling for a while.Although the feeling of being punished to kneel was not better than jumping, an old guy stood up and staggered, bumping his head against the corner of the table, and there was a big swelling on his head.But this punishment of kneeling is better than talking about fighting and killing.

Chen Fulian, the eunuch of the arsenal, was the highest-ranking official among them, and he was also the one who had just arrived to take the lead in snubbing Cao Qing.Now that he knows how powerful Cao Qing is, he is the one who is most worried about being punished by Cao Qing.

"Eunuch Cao, you were so negligent just now, please forgive me." Chen Fulian said while staring at Cao Qing's expression.

Cao Qing smiled slightly: "I'm easy to talk, and I don't have a good memory. In the past, I quickly forgot. But I will definitely not be fooled by those who look at me as a fool when I am young. Let it go! Everyone has also seen that the sacred decree is in my hands. If you listen to my changes, if you obey me, I will make him never forget the lessons I taught him! However, if you do what I say. Do things Well, there will definitely be no loss of your benefits. Rewards and punishments should be clearly defined, and the rewards should be rewarded heavily! Those who should be punished should be punished heavily!"

"Eunuch Cao, don't worry, I, Chen Fulian, are here to tell you. If anyone doesn't do things well for Eunuch Cao, I, Chen Fulian, will be the first to let him go!" As the emperor's backer, even a nine-thousand-year-old man may not be able to move him. If he offends this person, he will definitely not be able to do it as the second in command, and it is even a question of whether he can survive.Although Cao Qing looks young, Chen Fulian can smell the Jianghu habits from Cao Qing.

Several management cadres of the Bingzhan Bureau expressed their loyalty to Cao Qing one after another.

"Since everyone thinks highly of me, we have been working together since today. In the past few days, I want to bother everyone to do one thing. That is to count the list of craftsmen in the current military bureau. Listen clearly. What I want is the real deal The list. You must implement it well. Don’t make a lot of fake lists for me. The emperor is wise and entrusted us with a heavy responsibility for the military. When the time comes, we have to do something, but we can’t find anyone. The problem lies in Whoever is on it will lift his head to see each other!" Cao Qing said.

"Eunuch Cao, I don't know how many sophisticated weapons the emperor needs to build, and how many craftsmen are needed?" An Yun, the manager of the military battle bureau, asked.

"The more skilled craftsmen there are, the better, but I don't know how many skilled craftsmen we have left in our war bureau." Cao Qing said.

"There are thousands of people on the roster. But Eunuch Cao should have seen it too. It would be great if we can find a few hundred craftsmen who are still able to work in our Bingzhan Bureau. Originally, the number of craftsmen in our Bingzhan Bureau was indeed as many as several thousand. It is said that there used to be more than 3000 craftsmen in the Bingzhan Bureau. But these years, the Bingzhan Bureau has been seriously dilapidated. Although the number of places on the roster has not changed, these rosters are all from many years ago. In fact, many craftsmen in it have died of old age. But the roster has not been deleted. Others have been borrowed by officials and have not been returned. They are still in the military battle bureau, and they can be called back within a few days. There are probably three to 400 people.” Chen Fulian said.

"So little?" Cao Qing was a little dumbfounded.

In fact, Cao Qing felt a little strange.It should be somewhat beyond Cao Qing's expectation that there are three to 400 craftsmen in the Inner Palace Military Bureau.But when you think about the number of people in the past as many as 3000 or more, it is really shocking to be deserted to such an extent.

"If we can bring back those craftsmen who were borrowed by the ministers of the court, we should be able to gather 500 people." Chen Fulian said.

"Of course you have to come back! You go to ask for people one by one according to those IOUs! If you don't come back, you can tell me again. Also, all the people must report to the Bingzhan Bureau in the next two days. Otherwise, the newspaper The government will punish you for fleeing!" Cao Qing said.

"Eunuch Cao, in fact, these craftsmen are not the only ones in the war bureau. Although these rosters are old rosters from many years ago, it is true that some of the old craftsmen in them have died. But most of these craftsmen have children. As craftsmen If they are added to the list, it should be able to fill up 1000 people." Shi Zuowu, another manager, said.

"Yes! You should do it quickly. Count all the men who have crafts in the craftsmen's households, and call them all in the next two days. Those who don't have crafts will also be called. I have other uses." Cao Qing said.

"It's just, it's just..." Qianshu Wang Zuoshi stammered.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. We are discussing things now, even if you are wrong, you will not be punished." Cao Qing said.

"If all these craftsmen are called here, how will the money and food for the thousands of people be solved? Although these days, they will rush to do it as long as they have enough food. But now the warehouse of the Bingzhan Bureau has long been empty, and there is no surplus food at all." Wang Zuoshi Said.

Cao Qing looked up at these people present.Chen Fulian and the others lowered their heads one by one.The warehouse is empty, and everyone here has a share.

"As I said before, I don't want to pursue the past matters. But whoever dares to reach into the warehouse in the future, don't blame me for being hot! I will solve the problem of money and food. Lao Wang, you add up and see how much food you need. Write a note, and I will ask the inner government tomorrow." Cao Qing said.

"In addition." Cao Qing continued, "Now the machines in Bingzhanju are seriously worn out, and the broken copper and rotten iron will be worn out. But Bingzhanju needs to rebuild new equipment and needs all kinds of iron materials. Here I am I made a list, and you are responsible for preparing it for me. If you can’t solve it, come to me again.”

Naturally, Cao Qing didn't intend to use the broken copper and iron that Bingzhan Bureau had. He used to be a savage in machinery manufacturing.Although the conditions here are close, it is not impossible.At least now, things are done aboveboard, and all kinds of resources are free to take.How hard is it to start from scratch?
