As the official offices of the imperial court moved south one after another, the streets and alleys of Wuchang Prefecture gradually became lively.
After careful investigation by British miners, various mineral resources in Daye are extremely rich.
Long before the official relocation of the capital, Daye's steelmaking plant, coal mining plant, copper smelting plant, metallurgical plant and silver smelting plant started operations almost at the same time.
The importance of gold is self-evident.
If the Chinese Empire wants to integrate into the entire world's trading system, the implementation of the gold standard will be a matter of time.
However, the salaries of court officials, including the New Army and the police, were all paid in silver notes issued by the Universe Bank.
Throughout the empire today, it is very convenient to use silver coins for large expenses. For small expenses, copper coins are still used.
The Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes created by Zhu Chongba cannot be used for tax purposes. This is ridiculous.
Yuzhu not only stipulates that banknotes can be taxed, but also that even if the banknote is slightly damaged, you can go to the Universal Bank Bank to replace it with a new one.
The emergence of banknotes to connect the world has greatly promoted the vigorous development of commercial trade.
At the same time, the post office affiliated with the Universal Bank Ticket Number also came into being.
The main business of the post office is to transmit various ticket number data and collect private letters from various prefectures and counties.
The government-run inn will be canceled sooner or later, but not now.
Because the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of delivery officials must be fully considered, and there cannot be another Li Zicheng.
The government-run post station has huge expenses, but is extremely inefficient and full of corruption. It must be changed.
Except for the Yingtian Gate and the Yingtian Palace, the rest of the palace in Nandu is built like a resort villa area. Each concubine has a small building, which is independent of each other. It is comfortable to live in and not depressing.
The Yingtian Hall of the New Dynasty, which was the Taihe Hall of the former Qing Dynasty, was mainly used for large-scale ceremonies.
In addition, the complete copper and silver coin casting equipment imported from the UK is located in Wuchang City.
As for the coinage equipment, China was many times more advanced than the British manual rolling and casting model, using steam engines.
Since steam engines can circulate water from coal mines, they can be used to make coins.
More than a hundred steam engines, in addition to maintenance, can roll the mold 24 hours a day without stopping, and the production efficiency is astonishingly high.
In addition, Wuchang Shipyard is also under intensive construction.
According to Yuzhu's plan, in addition to Wuchang Shipyard, Wusong Shipyard, Quanzhou Shipyard and Guangzhou Huangpu Shipyard will also be built.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, through Yuzhu's continuous and unremitting efforts, various undertakings have been flourishing and are gradually on the right track.
After returning to the office, Yuzhu continued to review the memorial sent by the Military Aircraft Department.
I don't know how long it took, but Yan Lin came in and reported, "Your Majesty, the eldest son and the second son have arrived outside the palace.
As soon as Yuzhu heard this, he immediately put down the quill in his hand and ordered: "Ask them to come in."
Soon, two strong figures appeared in front of Yuzhu.
"Pa." The heels of the two young men touched almost simultaneously, making a crisp sound.
"Report to Father, Imperial Army Second Lieutenant Platoon Commander, Tong Xuanyu has been ordered to arrive."
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Imperial Army Lieutenant Deputy Company Commander, Tong Changsheng has been ordered to arrive."
Yuzhu stood up, walked to his two sons with a smile, and took a closer look. Well, he was a little tanned again.
Chang Sheng, this guy's deputy company commander, actually paid for it with his life.
When this guy led troops to suppress bandits, he actually took the lead and was seriously injured.
Fortunately, there was distilled alcohol in the army, which helped suppress the suppuration of the arrow wounds. Otherwise, Yuzhu would probably have to give up his white-haired man to his black-haired man.
However, as an imperial soldier, bloodshed and sacrifice are inevitable.
Although Yuzhu wanted to take a horse whip and whip Chang Sheng, a reckless guy, he still held back.
Just because the common people's sons can be sacrificed, so can Yuzhu's son.
"When you meet your mother, you must not say anything about being seriously injured." Yuzhu couldn't help but warned Chang Sheng.
"Yes." Chang Sheng touched his feet, stood at attention, and agreed loudly.
The main reason I called my two sons back this time was to send them to a proper artillery school for further education.
With the continuous development of thermal weapons, the role of cannon has become more and more obvious.
As an imperial soldier, you must learn and master the artillery command essentials.
Yuzhu chatted with his two beloved sons for a long time, and then invited them to have lunch together before letting them go back to see their respective mothers.
Not long after the two sons left, Ma Ying, the director of MI9, arrived.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Military Aircraft Jiang Sheng has always had close personal contact with the second son of the Emperor. Although the Minister of Military Aircraft Ma Qi has less contact with the eldest son of the Emperor, he has unusual contacts with the eldest son of the Emperor's uncle. Zhou Quan and Zhang Tingyu
, and have not made friends with any princes." Ma Ying knew that he was a vicious dog raised by Yuzhu.
He will bite whomever Yuzhu tells him to bite, otherwise, he will only be killed and eaten.
Paper cannot cover the fire, some things must be reported to the emperor.
If a vicious dog engaged in intelligence work loses its use value, do we need to ask more about its fate?
Yuzhu knew very well that not allowing ministers to make friends with the prince was always an empty talk.
As his sons grow older, the old emperor's struggle for the throne in Kowloon in his later years is likely to continue.
The civil servants were very far-sighted. They couldn't afford to offend Yuzhu, so they simply stopped provoking him and set the target of provocation on the princes.
During the pre-Ming Dynasty, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were not reused in the Jiajing Dynasty.
However, after entering the Longqing Dynasty, because Gao Gong was the emperor's most trusted teacher, he was particularly reused.
However, as soon as Long Qing died, Gao Gong was rushed back to his hometown by Empress Dowager Li, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng.
Yuzhu had been wary of this trick for a long time and deliberately sent his sons to foreign schools for military training in the morning and study in the afternoon without missing a beat.
Now, Jiang Sheng and Ma Qi followed the old routine and approached Yuzhu's two eldest sons respectively. Yuzhu was not surprised at all.
It would be weird not to take the initiative to get closer!
"You continue to stare, but it's just staring, don't alert others."
After listening to Yuzhu's instructions, Ma Ying quickly touched her feet and agreed loudly.
After Ma Ying first reported the most sensitive matters, he then reported on the progress of wooing British spies.
"Your Majesty, the two British knights we bought last time are already on their way back to London. They will collect for us all the most advanced technological developments in Europe, as well as the directory of craftsmen..." Ma Ying knew that Yu Zhu was very interested in these.
Interested, he deliberately explained the latest developments in detail, "Over at Dagukou, when the bishop sent by the foreigners was having an affair with a nun, he was caught and raped in bed by the minister's men. The minister's men immediately took the
His autographed confession has arrived. Now, the bishop is secretly working for the empire with subsidies from the empire. What the minister never expected was that there would be such a wealth of information in the confessional room of the church..."
Yuzhu nodded while listening. He was very satisfied with Ma Ying's work.
It has been proven that talent is indeed required to do intelligence work.
It is said that there was once a veteran on the intelligence front. After the news of his death reached the Lighthouse Country, the CIA not only opened champagne to celebrate, but even made an exception for a three-day holiday.
Yuzhu has reason to believe that with the shrewdness of the British, they will definitely arrange spies among the dispatched personnel to China.
The alliance with Britain is definitely only temporary.
In the future, after the Chinese Empire's ships have become stronger and more powerful, there will be a battle sooner or later for the control of Sanguoyang.
The navy is actually the most traditional branch of the military.
The Battle of Trafalgar, which has not yet happened, is a clear example.
Logically speaking, the French Navy has more warships, artillery, and sailors than the British. However, the naval decisive battle is not just about hardware, but also about software.
This software is the Navy’s self-learning and error correction capabilities.
In the Battle of Trafalgar, the commander-in-chief of the French combined fleet was captured by the British.
Similarly, during World War II, the Japanese navy clearly knew how powerful aircraft carriers were, but they still wasted resources and continued to build battleships.
However, the Americans are desperately trying to transform various ships into aircraft carriers.
A century-old navy is definitely not nonsense.
After Ma Ying left, Yuzhu suddenly received a piece of news: there was a big mess in North Korea.
Yuzhu couldn't help but smile. In his plan, the North Korean Li Kingdom was a territory that must be captured.
Standing at the height of five hundred years of history, from Nanyang, Taiwan, Australia, all the way to the Japanese country, as long as it is firmly in the hands of the Chinese Empire, even if the British navy comes to expedition, there will be no place to stay.<
/p>
However, Yuzhu is not in a hurry to send troops to North Korea. When the North Koreans invite the Chinese Empire to send troops to help, it will definitely be justified to send troops at that time.
Yuzhu called Zhou Quan and told him: "When I am not in Wuchang, I will work hard for you."
Zhou Quan understood Yuzhu's thoughts very well. As soon as he heard these words, he knew that he must be the chief military and aircraft minister.
In the past few years, Yuzhu had not decided on the order of military ministers, but now he suddenly decided. According to Zhou Quan's understanding, there must have been changes in the court situation that he must bear.
About a month and a half later, envoys sent by North Korea arrived in Wuchang and formally requested China to send troops to rescue the Korean people who were in dire straits.
Yuzhu, who had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, immediately issued a military order and ordered the first and third towns to gather at Wusongkou.
Hearing that Yuzhu wanted to conquer it himself, Zhang Tingyu couldn't help but persuade him: "Your Majesty, you are the lord of ten thousand chariots, how can you take risks?"
Ma Qi took advantage of the situation and beat the drum and whispered: "Your Majesty, you have not established a prince, the country is not solid!"
Jiang Sheng was worried that Ma Qi would take the lead, so he also advised: "Your Majesty, if you really want to take charge of the expedition, please establish a prince as soon as possible and order him to supervise the country. Then everyone in the world will feel at ease."
As long as people are above the temple, everyone can be with the little ninety-nine in their heart, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Since Ma Qi and Jiang Sheng jumped out, Yuzhu ordered: "Ma Qi and Jiang Sheng will go out with me, while Zhou Quan and Zhang Tingyu will stay in Wuchang."
Ma Qi and Jiang Sheng were immediately dumbfounded. The longer they stayed away from the military aircraft office, the easier it would be for their authority to loosen.
Zhang Tingyu knew well that the emperor couldn't stand the fact that Ma and Jiang Chen formed a secret party.
