The sun continues to shine, changing from warm to hot.
Mu Chun slowly walked out of Yong'an Palace with her eyes closed. When she was about to go out, she turned around suddenly and saw the kind old man, smiling and waving to him.
Just now, when he first arrived, he wanted to bow down and bow down to the emperor, but he was stopped.
Now, he slowly knelt down, with an expression more pious than bowing to the king, and knelt his head hard to the ground.
Dang, dang, dang, three beeps.
The old man standing in the pavilion stretched his wrinkled face and smiled happily.
Some people say that kowtow is the most useless etiquette in the world, and it is also the most humble etiquette. But other than that, when facing our loved ones, apart from kowtow, we can't find a more pious method than this.
What you kneel is grace, what you kowtow is love.
The corridors in the deep palace are very long. Mu Chun walked behind a few eunuchs who led the way. Although the old man told him not to leave in a hurry and to stay in the capital for a few more days, this high palace wall still has the status of monarch and minister.
Barriers.
Not to mention his grandchildren with a foreign surname, even the old man's own children and grandchildren cannot just enter the palace.
The old man is getting old, now he is leaving...
Thinking of this, Muchun couldn't help but look back again.
Suddenly, he saw someone chasing him.
"Eunuch Park!" Muchun cupped his hands and said, "You...?"
Pu Bucheng caught up with him with a smile, "Brother Chun, wait a minute, the Emperor will reward you!" As he said that, he turned slightly sideways and said behind him, "Hurry up!"
Behind him, several women dressed in palace attire and raised their hands in the same manner as everyone else, lowered their heads and saluted silently.
"This is..." Mu Chun vaguely guessed something.
"The Emperor said that if you don't have any heirs, then you have too few wives!" Pu Bucheng said with a smile, "These female officials are all good girls around the concubines in the palace. They are all well-educated and well-trained. Let's make a good meal.
They will follow you and help your Mu family flourish!"
Muchun's chest tightened, and he bowed in the direction of Yong'an Palace, "My lord, I thank you, the Supreme Emperor, for your kindness!"
"Get up!" Pu Bucheng pulled the other person to stand up and whispered, "The Emperor also said that he was afraid that he would not be able to wait until the day you have a son, so he gave the child a name first!"
, paused, "Call, Duo Sheng!"
"How many lives?" Mu Chun pondered for a moment, then tears filled his eyes.
~~
At noon, the deafening roar of the Bao Shipyard became fainter.
I don't know why, even though it's still spring, the temperature in the shipyard is as hot as summer.
Zhu Yunxi led his entourage and officials from the Ministry of Works, shuttling between various workshops and construction sites. He was dressed in casual clothes, and others did not know that he was the emperor, but because he was followed by officials from the Ministry of Works, he could only take a rough look wherever he went.
View flowers.
The sun was getting stronger and stronger, and Zhu Gaochi, who was following Zhu Yunxi, was sweating profusely on his forehead.
"Are you weak?" As soon as he walked out of the tung oil workshop, Zhu Yunxi looked at Zhu Gaochi and laughed softly, "Why are you sweating so much?"
"I've been walking with you for a long time, how can I not sweat? Are you weak? Are you weak?" Zhu Gaochi cursed secretly in his heart, and said with a smile, "I have been like this since I was a child. I am covered in sweat when I move the slightest!"
"It's still empty!" Zhu Yunxi nodded, then looked into the distance.
There was a long queue of people in the distance, and he asked, "What are you doing over there?"
Li Jinglong also looked over there and said with a smile, "Back to the emperor, it's probably dinner time. The craftsmen and servants are lining up to receive their meals!"
"Oh, go take a look!" Zhu Yunxi said, striding forward.
Zhang Han, the director of the Construction Department of the Ministry of Works and a member of the Communist Party of China, who was at the end of the crowd, suddenly changed his color, quietly walked two steps behind, and waved his hand towards a person not far away.
The people over there caught the eye and quickly turned around and trotted away.
But as soon as he ran a few steps, someone grabbed his arm from the side.
He looked up and saw several expressionless guards looking at him coldly, "What are you doing?"
"Villain..."
"Stay still!" the guard scolded, "If you dare to run around, your legs will be broken!"
~~
Zhu Yunxi was walking forward when he suddenly stopped because an indescribable smell came into his nose. It was fishy or not, smelly or not, which made people feel sick.
From what I could see, there was a long queue of craftsmen receiving food, which seemed a bit noisy. A few of the clerks responsible for maintaining order were hiding under the arbor, drinking tea and eating snacks, rolling their eyelids and swearing a few words in a low voice.
, and continued drinking tea and chatting.
But the next second, they saw a group of people approaching. The largest official in the Bao Shipyard could only follow at the end, then stood up suddenly and rushed towards the crowd.
"Everyone is lined up, don't crowd, don't make a fuss, don't make any noise!"
Zhu Yunxi saw this scene clearly and couldn't help but frown.
The management of Bao Shipyard was commendable, but he also understood that even if it was a well-managed place, there would be more tricks.
Management, haha!
No one dares to be greedy for the money to build a ship, but the basic necessities of food, clothing, housing and transportation are enough for them!
At this time, they had already walked to the queue of craftsmen. The craftsmen looked at this group of dignified officials with some fear. At that time, a craftsman who had just cooked rice came out and squatted on the ground with a rice jar.
Started eating with big mouthfuls.
Zhu Yunxi saw clearly that in his rice bowl were two spoons of brown rice, white radishes and dark pickles.
This scene is in sharp contrast to the tea and snacks served in the pergola of the small officials.
"You are in charge of the Firearms Manufacturing Bureau, is it the same over there?" Zhu Yunxi continued to move forward, asking expressionlessly.
"I'm going to offend people again by saying this!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "As the old saying goes, if you want a horse to run, you have to give it good food. The craftsmen of the Firearms Manufacturing Bureau have a special canteen. The capacity is six people per table.
Just order it and eat it ready-made, and the waiter will bring it to the table directly, so there is no need to wait in such a chaotic queue!"
After saying that, he paused and continued with a smile, "Moreover, all meals must have a meaty flavor. Even green leafy vegetables must be fried in large amounts of oil, and fine grains must be eaten openly. In addition, the Firearms Manufacturing Bureau has already decided
Under the reward and punishment system, the lowest gunpowder apprentice can get nearly two silver dollars and an additional ten kilograms of rice if he makes no mistakes for a month!"
He said that Zhu Yunxi had known this for a long time. Hearing it again now, coupled with the scene of people queuing up to receive meals, made him feel something new in his heart.
"Your funds...?" Zhu Yunxi continued to ask, "Is it enough?"
"Enough!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "I don't know how to make iron and cannons. I only care about one thing. The grace given by the emperor will be shared by everyone below." As he said that, he glanced sideways at the back, as if he still didn't understand what was about to happen.
Lian Zining, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, smiled and said, "Everyone's rations are purchased by my close confidants and written down in the account book. Everyone has a daily quota. Whoever dares to deduct a bite, I will take it from."
Wusha hat!"
"Although craftsmen are humble, they are the ones who do the work. No matter how stupid I am, I will not tolerate people tampering with this aspect! Besides, only when you eat and sleep comfortably can you be energetic!"
Zhu Yunxi remained expressionless and walked straight to the door of the room where he served the craftsmen food.
Several large vats were lined up one after another, and the contents inside looked unappetizing and made people feel angry.
In the white radish, vegetable and melon soup, there were almost fat meat with skin floating on it. The cook was arrogant, and he put a spoon directly into the rice bowl of the craftsmen and servants, and impatiently urged the next one.
.
And inside the room, a few cooks who seemed to be cooking were holding rice bowls and eating deliciously. In their bowls, there were palm-sized rosy pork belly.
There was a sound of gobbling around, as if the extremely tired handyman workers were devouring the food in their mouths. Some people finished eating in several mouthfuls, and poured a bowl of cold water from the rice bowl directly into their stomachs.
Right next to the canteen is the smelly ditch draining water from several nearby workshops. It's not even midsummer yet, and flies are buzzing in swarms.
"Come here!" Zhu Yunxi shouted behind him with a cold face.
The people behind him were suddenly stunned, wondering who the emperor was calling.
Guard Deng Ping quietly poked Lian Zining and said, "My lord, I'm calling you!"
"My lord..." Lian Zining finally came to his senses and walked from the back to the entrance of the dining hall. His voice suddenly stopped.
Why did the emperor call him? Do you still need to ask?
"The Bao Shipyard is handed over to you, and that's how you take care of it?" Zhu Yunxi pointed to several large vats filled with vegetables, "Wouldn't even your dogs eat these vegetables?"
"My lord..." Lian Zining was sweating profusely and was too frightened to speak.
Suddenly, he looked behind him fiercely. Yuanwailang Zhang Han and others were already fighting in two directions and could not stand steadily.
"Go and see where the craftsmen sleep!" Zhu Yunxi waved his sleeves, full of anger.
