Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

The climatic problem of the capital has long been taken into consideration. When the Fairy Abode was first built, Yang Chendong hired craftsmen to install a large number of furnace walls in the mezzanine. When the coal is burned when it is cold, the heat naturally radiates.

Fairy Abode is as warm as spring, and it was quickly noticed by the guests who came here. Only after inquiring did they know that it was the cause of the furnace wall. In other words, this invisible heating method is more brilliant than putting a charcoal brazier at home.

Nowadays, many people are asking if they can spend money to invite Fairy Abode craftsmen to make furnace walls at their home. This was originally a profitable business prepared by Yang Chendong, but the service staff agreed to it very kindly. Just because the number of craftsmen is limited, and the raw materials are also limited, not only the installation cost is extremely high, but also the waiting line is required.

But for the warmth at home, there are still many people who paid the money first and waited in line. Naturally, this matter went out quickly, which directly attracted the visit of Ministry of Works High Official Shi Pu to Yang Family Village.

The potatoes have already been harvested, and the seeds have been distributed. Nowadays, the Embroidered Uniform Guard and Dongchang fans are not visible outside of Yang Family Village.

But even so, no one will come here to cause trouble, because all the signs indicate that the relationship between this Crown Herald Yang and Wang Zhen Eunuch is very good. The two sides will meet each other from time to time and talk about it. One or two hours.

With the big flag of Wang Zhen, whoever is stupid will take the initiative to trouble Yang Chendong.

Although Shi Pu is a Ministry of Works High Official and a second-ranked member of the Imperial Court, he still doesn’t look enough in front of Wang Zhen. He won’t deliberately go to offend the person’s house. Even this Shi High Official has left Wang Zhen’s relationship and achieved his current position. Naturally, he must be polite to Yang Chendong. If something happens, he can’t just send an order like treating other officials. He decided to come in person.

For the arrival of Shi Pu, Yang Chendong still attaches great importance to it. I think that my father, Yang Rong, used to be Ministry of Works High Official, speaking of which, the relationship between everyone is still very close.

As soon as Shi Pu arrived, he entered the main hall of Yang Family Village. The heat was assaults the senses, but no charcoal brazier was burning. I knew that the furnace wall must also be installed here, and I couldn’t help but look envious. He said, “Virtuous nephew, you are very much like the land of immortal, and the way of life is really comfortable! Hahaha.”

“The stone brother-in-law is overpraised, it’s still Thanks to His Imperial Majesty’s governing power, the world is peaceful and the people can live and work in peace.” Yang Chendong hugged cup one fist in the other hand towards the capital, with a serious expression on his face.

“Yes, His Imperial Majesty is still diligent.” Shi Pu hit a haha. The current Ming Dynasty seems to be relatively strong, but that’s all the capital left during the reign of Renxuan, and that’s all. The eunuchs are reused here in Zhu Qizhen. They are the Imperial court, the Small Official, and the representatives of Confucianism are long gone. Is strong.

It’s just that these words Shi Pu will not talk to Yang Chendong deeply. He is just a character of the junior generation, so he should not be taught more deeply.

Listening to Shi Pu’s words that are neither idle nor indifferent, Yang Chendong hehe smiled and said, “Stone brother-in-law, aren’t you here today to chat with youngster?”

“haha, of course not. I don’t talk secretly in front of the Ming people, this time I am here for the furnace wall. You think such good things should be shared by everyone.” laughed, The expression of the country and the public on his face.

“This…” When it comes to business, Yang Chendong becomes embarrassed.

“Why, Virtuous nephew, what’s the problem?” Looking at Yang Chendong’s hesitation, Shi Pu felt that things were as simple as not at all he had imagined.

“Yes.” Yang Chendong was definitely nodded in the end, and later explained, “Don’t hide the stone brother-in-law, when I first got this furnace wall, it was just an idea. Later It took a lot of manpower and material resources to figure out the principle. For this matter, Eunuch Wang has also invested a lot of money. Now he has his shares here. If it is just taken out for no reason, I am afraid that I agree, and no one will agree.”

I raised the brand of Wang Zhen, and I played it with power.

Looking at the appearance of Shi Pu, it is clear that Yang Chendong should contribute to the construction of the furnace wall free of charge, and this is not acceptable to Yang Chendong

In the society at that time , There is no such thing as property rights. Especially for craftsmen, no matter how hard they work and how much they put in, once they produce something good, they will be promoted free of charge. The manufacturer himself has no benefit at all. It is said that Shangguan will verbally Just two praises. As for the material, there is no. Because in everyone’s opinion, what you make is to contribute, and even if it is contributed, why is there any benefit?

There is nothing in the world, all good things should be His Imperial Majesty’s, not a means of personal profit.

This seems to benefit more people, but in fact it is extremely unfair to creators. He spent money, time, and intellect to create things that were used lightly by others. His input and output are not directly proportional at all. In the long run, who would spend that thing to do creative things.

If you don’t create, you have money to get it, and you create it too. This unfair treatment gradually loses and smooths everyone’s creativity.

Now Shi Pu came to ask for this craft like an ordinary craftsman. Even if you were born in Great Ming and live in Great Ming, the new things you make should belong to Great Ming. So, just bring it all.

I oppose this kind of work mode in my heart, but I can’t tell you why everyone else is like this, but you are special? Therefore, Yang Chendong had no choice but to bring out the big brand Wang Zhen to suppress others.

A while ago, Assistant Minister Yu Qian from the left of the Ministry of War and Imperial Censor Shen You of Sichuan Road suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth. What disappeared was disappear without a trace. I really didn’t see anyone alive. No dead body.

As soon as this happened, everyone’s suspicions were directed at Wang Zhen. Because these two people have had various estrangements with Eunuch Wang, and now both of them have disappeared, and things are done so simply and neatly, besides Wang Zhen, is there anyone else who has this ability?

It’s just that there is no evidence. Everyone has nothing to do with Wang Zhen, but secretly guards against it in the heart. Now that the big brand is taken out, even Shi Pu looks very ugly after listening.

Before he came, he thought that Yang Chendong might not be so happy to hand over his craftsmanship, but it doesn’t matter, he only needs to be moved by emotion, knowing the truth, and how can you say so Official Fifth Rank of the Imperial Court, should he have this awareness?

But now that Wang Zhen’s name came out, and in an instant, Shi Pu lost his temper.

“Then…then saying that, other than buying, is there no way at all?” Shi Pu knew that the method of forcing was no longer possible, so he tried to ask.

“This is supposed to be impossible.” Yang Chendong shook the head. But when Shi Pu looked depressed after hearing this, he said again: “It’s just that now that Shi’s brother-in-law comes to the door personally, the face will still be sold to you. Then, if you Ministry of Works sell copper, you can use this. How about sending someone to make a fireplace?”

Nowadays, most of the fireplaces installed in the market are made of copper and iron, and some of the parts are very delicate. Things like turnbuckles are far from the present Ministry of Works can be manufactured. If you take the bottle gourd picture yourself, it is likely that the quality of the product is not good, and various problems will occur. Once a fire occurs, the problem will be serious.

It is precisely because of the uniqueness of this technology that the installation cost is extremely high, which is so high that ordinary ministers cannot accept it. So many ministers went to Shi Pu and said that he is now in charge of the Ministry of Works, and that this matter is within the scope of his management. How to install the furnace wall in everyone’s home earlier should be his thing.

In the final analysis, these ministers just don’t want to spend that many money to enjoy the benefits of the furnace wall that’s all. Now Yang Chendong has given a compromise method. The technology cannot be taught, but fortunately it can be replaced by copper. In this case, with that many copper and iron in the Ministry of Works warehouse, the ministers can settle the furnace wall. The problem is solved, and it can be regarded as a solution to Shi Pu’s urgent need.

“Okay, okay, then I would like to thank Virtuous nephew.” Knowing that this is Yang Chendong’s saving face, Shi Pu said repeatedly, as if he was afraid that others would regret it.

Then the two discussed the amount of copper and how much they could exchange for a furnace wall. During this period, Yang Chendong naturally wanted lion’s big mouth. Although Shi Pu felt a little high, it was not useful to put those things in the warehouse temporarily. It is better to change the benefits first. If it is lacking, it will be collected from the whole country later. Well, this was agreed.

Shi Pu finally left Yang Family Village with a look of satisfaction. After he left, when Qiao Yin came to pack up the tea, he asked Yang Chendong with curiosity and incomprehension, “Young Master? Now that he brought out the big brand of Wang Zhen, why did he agree to exchange for copper? Well? In this way, don’t we make a lot of money less?”

“haha, our Yin’er also knows to use his brain to consider problems.” Yang Chendong said with a big smile.

“Young Master? Yin’er is always mindful, but it’s not as smart as you,” Qiao Yin said somewhat coquettishly. Since the relationship between the two has materialized, she will increasingly show the attitude of a little woman in front of Yang Chendong. “By the way, Young Master, you haven’t said why?”

“Why?” Yang Chendong looked into the distance and was silent for a long time before replied: “Lian Yin ‘er said that I was scary with the big brand of Wang Zhen, surely others would think the same way, right? This is not the original intention of Young Master and what he wanted to see. This time I will change the furnace wall with copper and let Ministry of Works go by itself Arrangements can serve more people on the one hand, and show them well, so that they don’t have to hate Young Master the same way they hate Wang Zhen. Of course, the most important point is that Chihkan City lacks copper. , The industry there is developing too fast, especially the arsenal and shipyards. As all kinds of advanced things are put into production, the lack of holes will become bigger and bigger.”
