Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 188 The first one to be kicked out of the group

As the system's notification sounded, Hu Guang knew why Hu Zhengyan fell down.

When he decided to summon Hu Zhengyan, he had already thought about it, and felt that Hu Zhengyan's work did not need to be in the working group. Therefore, this time, Hu Guang chose no.

"Ding, the system prompts the host that the memory of the related chat group has been erased from the day, and has been kicked out of the chat group!"

Hu Guang entered the chat group and searched carefully, but he did not find Ri Cong.Then, his consciousness returned to reality, carefully observed Hu Zhengyan who had fallen, and found that he seemed a little confused, and then immediately became panicked, and knelt down again and begged for forgiveness for his rudeness in front of the imperial court.

"It's okay, let's get down." Of course Hu Guang didn't care about it, "Just take a look at this food stamp."

After hearing this, Hu Zhengyan breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately stepped forward cautiously to look at the food coupons.

Wen Tiren on the side probably also guessed the reason for Hu Zhengyan's fall, but he didn't know that Hu Zhengyan had already been kicked out of the chat group.

Hu Guang saw Hu Zhengyan looking at the food stamps, and said to him: "Your printing skills are second to none in Ming Dynasty. In order to prevent others from forging food stamps again, I want you to print some simple and hard-to-forge food stamps. You Can it be done?"

Hu Zhengyan is good at making ink and can make his own unique ink. He also pioneered the "arched flower" printing, and his "饾ban" printing is also unique. "饾ban" is the originator of color separation overprinting in later generations, and its production process is more complicated than that of monochrome engraving.After printing, the ink color is exquisite and the carving is delicate, which is very difficult to imitate.

When Hu Guang saw Hu Zhengyan's "Painting Book of Ten Bamboo Studio", he was surprised and made the decision to send him to the capital to print what he needed.

Hu Zhengyan naturally had a good idea of ​​the fields he liked and was good at. As soon as the emperor ordered him, he had several plans in his mind, and he immediately bowed down to accept the order.

He understood that the emperor should check his own ability. If the emperor is satisfied, the food stamps printed by himself will spread far more widely than "Shizhuzhai Painting Book", and the reputation will be greater. will be unlimited.

Thinking of this, he immediately chose a simple but amazing plan, ready to surprise the emperor and the world.

At this time, none of them thought that this temporarily replaced food stamp would become a sought-after item in the hands of future generations of collectors, and its value would continue to increase with the number of years, making many descendants of the capital a windfall. , Some people are complained by their children and grandchildren that they have no vision.Of course, this is something for later, so I won’t show it for the time being.

When Hu Zhengyan stepped back, Hu Guang said to Wen Tiren: "The construction of the Daming Zhonglie Hall can begin."

"Your Majesty, please order the Ministry of Accounts to withdraw the money and food for construction." Wen Tiren bowed and responded.

After the factory guards checked the Yongchang bank, they got 51 taels of silver.Hu Guang ordered the money to be deposited in the Ministry of Households, and no one could use it unless there was an imperial decree.

In this way, many people knew that the household department finally had money, and of course the first assistant Wen Tiren was also included.

However, after Hu Guang heard his words, he shook his head and said, "I have other arrangements for the money of the Ministry of Households. As for the expenses of the Daming Loyalty Hall, I have asked the palace to collect it. Wen Qing doesn't have to worry about it."

When Wen Tiren heard this, he couldn't help being a little surprised. He had heard some rumors before that the empresses in the harem took the lead in saving money and donating gold and silver jewelry, and many gold and silver utensils in the palace were also collected and melted into silver coins for future use.

To be honest, he didn't believe it when he first heard it.And because today is different from the past, foreign ministers are not allowed to collude with internal officials, and cannot inquire about the affairs of the palace, so he just listened to it and didn't take it to heart.

But when he heard the words from the emperor, he immediately recalled the news and immediately understood that it was true.

The cost of building such a large building as the Daming Loyalty Hall is not a small sum.Wen Tiren immediately bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Daming Loyalty Hall is a state affair, how can the palace be allowed to raise funds and wronged all the ladies and Your Majesty. I think that this money cannot be used!"

"Why not?" Upon hearing this, Hu Guang immediately asked a question, and then said righteously: "What the Daming Loyalty Hall enshrines are the loyal men who died for my Ming. I am the Emperor of the Daming, the Lord of the World." , and the palaces are role models for women in the world, it is only natural that we can do our part for the loyalty of Ming Dynasty. After I mentioned this matter with the palaces, all the palaces agreed with it, and it was all voluntary. They I don't want to go against my will."

Having said that, Hu Guang raised his voice a little, and announced in an unquestionable tone: "Wen Qing doesn't need to say more, this matter is settled like this!"

When Wen Tiren heard this, he couldn't help but be moved, with the respect of the emperor and the dignity of the empress, but she can do so much for Daming, how many empresses of the emperor have had such a healthy attitude?

He bowed, and immediately replied loudly: "Even the ancient sages are nothing more than this, the hearts of your majesty and ladies, I will always remember them in my heart!"

When Hu Guang heard such praise, he was very happy, and it was worth his trouble.But on the surface, he waved his hand casually and said, "I will ask someone to hand over the money immediately. As usual, the factory guard will also participate. Go!"

"Follow the order!" Now that the emperor's holy will has been decided, Wen Tiren will naturally not persuade him any more.He decided in his heart that he must handle this matter with great fanfare, and let the people all over the world know the intentions of the emperor and the empresses of the palaces.

He immediately returned to the cabinet, convened the cabinet ministers, and notified the six ministers and other civil and military officials above the third grade in Beijing to solemnly hand over the money.If the emperor didn't ask for it as soon as possible, he even wanted to call more officials.

When this matter reached Hu Guang's ears, he couldn't help but smiled and said, "This Wen Qing, it's true that you make such a big fuss about even a small matter!"

This time, the efficiency was very high. Wen Tiren personally urged his subordinates to arrange everything ahead, and in the early morning of the next day, he led civil and military officials to invite the emperor and the empresses of various palaces to lay the foundation stone of the Daming Loyalty Hall in person.

In just one night, the matter of the funding of the Daming Zhonglie Hall overshadowed the news of the capital's crackdown, and became the number one topic of discussion among the people of the capital.

In the severe cold of the next morning, most of the people in the capital got up early and flocked out of their homes, just to see the grand occasion of the emperor and his ladies laying the foundation stone for the Daming Loyalty Hall.This happy event somewhat dilutes the sorrow and pain of the people in the capital for the loss of their loved ones these days, and also forgets their worries about their future life.

The unexpected excitement forced the imperial court to send troops from the Five Cities Army Division to maintain order in the square in front of Tiananmen Square.

In the open space isolated by the soldiers, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty led all the civil and military officials to stand facing the imperial palace in front of the selection of the Zhonglie Hall.They all looked solemn, waiting for the emperor to come.
