Although Chu Yi rarely comes here, it doesn't mean that Chu Yi doesn't pay attention to this place.
It can even be said that for these craftsmen, Chu Yi even used the channels of Dongchang. Otherwise, it would not be possible to gather so many master craftsmen at once.
Even though the status of these craftsmen is not high, in the eyes of some people, they are all treasures. Many great craftsmen registered with the Ministry of Industry have been quietly taken away by many people using their connections. It can be imagined that
It is already quite difficult for Yi to find these people.
It was obvious that Chu Yi had put in so much effort, and now he finally saw the results.
In the large lake that was excavated and covered an area of several acres, various ship models with a length of several feet were floating steadily on it.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that these ships are definitely built according to a fleet, including obviously large ships, auxiliary ships, and even some warships.
That is to say, Chu Yi, if others did not give permission, they would not even think of entering this courtyard. When Chu Yi appeared here, someone had already given his allegiance to Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng hurriedly walked over from a room. When he saw Chu Yi, he stepped forward and saluted Chu Yi: "Greetings to the Governor."
Chu Yi withdrew his gaze from the ships, glanced at Wang Zheng, nodded slightly and said, "Wang Zheng, what happened to the things I asked you to prepare?"
Wang Zheng's spirit was shaken, and he straightened his chest and looked at Chu Yi and said: "Back to the governor, everything is ready. After everyone's efforts during this period, a simple fleet model has been made, especially these models.
The explanation is based on the actual reduction of Zheng He's treasure ship. Many ships even only need to be enlarged to a certain proportion according to the model to successfully build a large ship."
Hearing what Wang Zheng said, Chu Yi couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He had previously just asked Wang Zheng to lead these craftsmen to make models of some of the main ships of Zheng He's treasure ship. Unexpectedly, the other party actually built them exactly according to Zheng He's treasure ship.
Looking at the busy craftsmen, Chu Yi couldn't help but show admiration in his eyes. West China has not lacked skilled craftsmen since ancient times, and even many ancient skills are amazing even thousands of years later.
Under the guidance of Wang Zheng, Chu Yi walked to the edge of the big lake. It could be seen that Wang Zheng had led these great craftsmen here during this period. Whether he was self-taught or influenced by these craftsmen, Wang Zheng had a lot of knowledge about the ten people in the lake.
There were dozens and dozens of different types of ships, which were all treasures. He pointed them out to Chu Yi one by one, and explained the uses, advantages and disadvantages of these ships one by one.
After enough time, through Wang Zheng's introduction, even Chu Yi had a general understanding of the performance of the ships represented by these ship models.
After glancing at Wang Zheng, Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "I didn't expect you to know so much about these ships."
Wang Zheng hurriedly said: "With the love of the governor, I naturally dare not neglect it, but thanks to these craftsmen, if it were not for their teaching, I would not be able to understand so much."
Chu Yi looked at Wang Zhengdao with satisfaction: "Even if others are willing to teach you, you still have to work hard enough. You have not let me down."
Hearing Chu Yi's praise, Wang Zheng suddenly showed a look of excitement on his face. At this moment, Chu Yi pondered and said: "Get ready, take these ship models with you in three days and follow me to meet the emperor. When the time comes,
Regarding the performance of these ships, you need to explain them to His Majesty one by one!"
Seeing Chu Yi looking at him with a solemn look, Wang Zheng was in a daze at the moment. Chu Yi's words were still echoing in his ears. When meeting the emperor, he even had to explain the functions of these ships to the emperor. Wang Zheng only felt that
My heart was pounding.
How important this is. As long as you can seize the opportunity, you will definitely be able to leave a deep impression in the emperor's mind. With Chu Yi's attention, you will definitely be able to rise to great heights in the future.
Taking a deep breath, Wang Zheng bowed to Chu Yi respectfully and said: "I will not let the governor down!"
Watching Chu Yi leave, Wang Zheng couldn't help but show excitement on his face. After looking at the master craftsmen, Wang Zheng took a deep breath and went to consult these master craftsmen with some respect.
Chu Yi returned to the study. There were many files placed on the desk. These files had obviously been delivered not long ago, and they covered all aspects. As the governor of the East Factory, he was also in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the Royal Horse.
The Superintendent of Supervisors naturally has to pay attention to and deal with many more things every day than before.
Fortunately, Chu Yi was able to delegate enough power and delegate many matters to the cabinet, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and even some of his confidants in the Dongchang. Otherwise, he would probably be unable to finish the matter even if he stayed in his study every day.
Browsing through these files casually, they were all files handled by Dongchang, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and he only needed to take a look at them.
Soon Chu Yi flipped through most of it. Suddenly Chu Yi's eyes narrowed. In this file, a familiar name came into view.
Huashan School, Yue Buqun.
It had been some time since the original farewell to Nanjing, and Yue Buqun had obviously returned to the Huashan Sect.
On top of this file are records about Yue Buqun's transfer of intelligence from Dongchang, Huayin County.
Of course, the news in this file did not explain anything in detail. It was just because it involved the jade pendant given by Chu Yi to represent his identity that the person in charge of the Dongchang stronghold in Huayin County reported it. Otherwise,
, it is impossible to send such trivial matters to Chu Yi.
Chu Yi looked at the file and couldn't help but smile. He said softly: "It's really interesting. How long has it been before Yue Buqun has already used that jade pendant?"
That jade pendant represents Chu Yi's identity, which is enough to mobilize people from the Dongchang stronghold in Huayin County to its use. It can even mobilize the local health center through people from Dongchang, so the jade pendant is of great use.
Quite small.
Chu Yi didn't know the specific situation, but since Yue Buqun had already used that jade pendant, it meant that Yue Buqun had already been involved with Dongchang, and it would not be that easy to get rid of him.
Putting the file aside casually, Chu Yi casually gave some instructions. He only needed to focus on it. If there was any major incident, the people below would naturally report it.
After a short while, Chu Yi looked at another dossier and was slightly surprised. This one was about Yang Tinghe.
Although Yang Tinghe was ostensibly coerced by Lu Wenyang and had to join him in raising the banner of Qingjun, the emperor was also furious and sent a royal guard to seize Yang Tinghe's relatives.
Yang Tinghe didn't have many relatives, and Chu Yi wasn't very familiar with him, but Chu Yi had a pretty good impression of Yang Shen at first.
Obviously, Yang Shen, who was preparing for the next autumn scientific examination after returning to Beijing, was inexplicably sent to prison because of Yang Tinghe.
Because Yang Tinghe disappeared without a trace, the emperor could not find Yang Tinghe. Naturally, Yang Tinghe's relatives were implicated, and the emperor ordered that he be tried by three divisions together with Lu Wenyang and others.
Maybe Yang Shen and others don't know what Yang Tinghe did, but in today's era, family, family, if one person commits a crime, the whole family will be implicated. This is the iron rule of this era.
Even if you receive its blessings, you will also have to bear its consequences. The basis of this case is some opinions on how to deal with Yang Tinghe's relatives.
Chu Yi glanced over and found that Yang Shen was actually imprisoned in the Dongchang Secret Prison. Although he was a little surprised, thinking that the Criminal Department, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang were all overcrowded recently, it was not surprising that the people captured by Jinyiwei were thrown into the Dongchang secret prison.
Not surprisingly.
If this were the case in the past, if Jinyiwei and Dongchang did not deal with each other and were hostile to each other, it would be impossible for this kind of thing to happen. But now both Jinyiwei and Dongchang are used by Chu Yi, so the relationship between the two has naturally eased a lot.
Putting down the file, while he was thinking deeply, he saw Cao Shaoqin walking in and saluting Chu Yi. In Cao Shaoqin's hand, he held a brocade box in his hand, put it on the table and said: "Master, this is the house ransacked by the slave before.
At that time, there were some handwritten classics written by sages that were copied from the homes of those civil servants. The governor has always been fond of these classics, so my servant collected some and specially presented them to the governor."
Chu Yi smiled slightly, opened the brocade box, and glanced at the dozen or so thick volumes of classics in the brocade box. Chu Yi showed a look of satisfaction on his face and said to Cao Shaoqin: "You are really serious! You didn't use any means.
Take it by force!"
Cao Shaoqin hurriedly said: "Explain what you got from ransacking the house, and how the slaves dared to violate the rules of the governor and do such things as robbery."
Chu Yi nodded and said: "Very good!"
After glancing at Cao Shaoqin, Chu Yi pondered for a moment and looked at Cao Shaoqin and said: "Cao Shaoqin, the governor has decided to hand over this East Factory to you to take charge of it after a while. What do you think?"
With a pop, Cao Shaoqin knelt down in front of Chu Yi in surprise and joy, and said with great respect: "How can I be so virtuous as a slave? I will obey the orders of the governor in everything, and I will swear allegiance to the governor to the death!"
Cao Shaoqin was not worried whether Chu Yi was testing him. After all, everyone knew that with Chu Yi's current power, in charge of the Li Supervisor and the Royal Horse Supervisor, the Governor of the East Factory was no longer his focus. Sooner or later, he would choose his confidants.
The east factory is handed over to the other party.
Obviously, among people such as Cao Shaoqin, Chu Fang, and Wang Zheng, the one most suitable to succeed Chu Yi in taking charge of Dongchang is Cao Shaoqin.
Cao Shaoqin's ability has always been good, and he is loyal to Chu Yi. Therefore, Chu Yi will definitely hand over Dongchang to Cao Shaoqin.
Of course, if Chu Yi didn't take the initiative to bring it up, no one else would mention it, including the emperor.
Now that Chu Yi said this, he had obviously considered it. How could this not make Cao Shaoqin excited?
Waving his hand, Chu Yi stood up and said to Cao Shaoqin: "Okay, when the time is right, I will report it to the Emperor of Heaven, and you will be in charge of this East Factory!"
Kowtowing to Chu Yi respectfully, Cao Shaoqin said to Chu Yi: "Thank you, Lord, my slave!"
Chu Yi walked to Cao Shaoqin and said, "Let me go with my governor to see Yang Shen."
Of course, Cao Shaoqin was no stranger to Yang Shen. At Songyang Academy, Yang Shen was the only one who could give him a high look. Later, they traveled all the way to the south of the Yangtze River. How could Cao Shaoqin not know that his governor still valued Yang Shen quite highly.
Because of this, when Yang Shen was imprisoned in the secret prison, Cao Shaoqin gave special instructions and took special care of Yang Shen. As expected, his governor really wanted to see Yang Shen.
"Lord, come with me!"
Chu Yi was not surprised at all that Cao Shaoqin knew where Yang Shen was imprisoned. Now he has gradually let go of Dongchang. In fact, most matters in Dongchang are now handled by Cao Shaoqin.
If the people he valued couldn't remember it, then it would be impossible for Cao Shaoqin to reach this stage.
In the dark prison, just walking into the secret prison, there is an eerie feeling all around.
Of course, on the one hand, it is because the secret prison is underground, and on the other hand, it is the atmosphere and psychological implications, so the secret prison feels very eerie and terrifying.
You can faintly hear crying, wailing, and begging for mercy, echoing in the almost sealed space underground, giving people the feeling of walking into hell.
Even if Chu Yi has some restraints on Dongchang, in the final analysis, a violent intelligence agency is a violent intelligence agency after all, and it is impossible to change Dongchang into a shantang.
Things like torture to extract confessions and forced beatings are not unusual at all. Even if Chu Yi wants to, he can't control it. He, a majestic and uncrowned king of the Ming Dynasty who holds various important positions, can't just stare at Dongchang for interrogation. That's
I really lost the watermelon and picked up the sesame seeds.
When the water is clear, there will be no fish. This is the same everywhere. Whether it is officialdom or violent institutions such as Dongchang, Chu Yi is only a person in the end, not an omnipotent god. He can restrain Dongchang to a certain extent.
If the factory does not harm the people, then it is already good.
As for whether those wealthy gentry and powerful people were wronged when they fell into the hands of Dongchang, Chu Yi couldn't care that much.
A cell that was obviously much cleaner appeared in front of Chu Yi. The surrounding area was also much cleaner. A figure was sitting cross-legged on the straw in the cell. He looked much thinner.
Seemingly noticing the footsteps, Yang Shen who was sitting there slowly raised his head. When he saw Chu Yi, a bright light flashed in Yang Shen's eyes, and then a wry smile spread across his face.
He looked at Chu Yi with a hoarse voice and said, "I never thought that the day we would see each other again would be under such circumstances!"
Cao Shaoqin signaled, and the jailer quickly stepped forward and opened the cell door. Cao Shaoqin moved a chair into the cell. Chu Yi walked into the cell and took off his cloak and handed it to Cao Shaoqin.
Cao Shaoqin took the cloak and stepped aside, leaving space for Chu Yi and Yang Shen.
