Chapter 348 I Have Something to Say
When Zhu Di and others rushed to Shangyuan County.
The county magistrate had a miserable look on his face.
The county magistrate was originally just the head of the county, but Shangyuan county magistrate committed a crime, and the county magistrate was also forced to resign, so he directly replaced him.
These days, he is almost busy with the affairs of Zhang's field, who knows... a disaster is coming.
He bowed to Zhu Di, trembling and sincerely said: "The explosion took place in an uninhabited area, a land rented by a group of people called the Thirteen Taibao. The power of the fire is very powerful... The huts of many farmers hundreds of meters away have collapsed a lot, in addition... a fire was caused... many people were injured..."
"Fortunately, the neighborhood has been emptied of people a long time ago, and the troublemakers... seem to have been on guard for a long time, so... there are no deaths. The farmers have turned many of the perpetrators to the county government. The next official is going to interrogate them. , but I heard that they are people from the Qixia Army Workshop, and they feel that the matter is not simple, so they are only temporarily detained, and we must first ask the reason."
His organization was still clear, and he finally let out a long breath when he heard that no one was dead.
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi: "Thirteen Taibao?"
Zhang Anshi has gradually calmed down. In fact, he is really afraid of accidents. There are too many things in his hands now, and he will be responsible for whatever happens.
The saying that with great power comes great responsibility is no joke.
However, there are still some people who think that Zhang Anshi is cold-blooded and shirks responsibility when things happen.
God is pitiful, there are tens of thousands of Jinyiwei, thousands of model camps, and tens of thousands of officials, not to mention, there are countless workshops under the rule. If you take everything on yourself, call him if something goes wrong Zhang Anshi is in charge, if Zhang Anshi doesn't shirk it, isn't this crazy?
What's more, the matter of the military workshop is inherently dangerous. Even if many safety measures are formulated, it can be kept secret. Any accidents with this thing are possible, because many people don't know what they are tinkering with. God knows you If you add one thing to another substance and you use fire to burn it, will it directly blow up people to the sky, or will the volatilized things bring down a room full of people.
You want to call it cruel, but the problem is... There are things in this world, and he is like this. Any progress is made by blood and sweat. There is no good thing that is safe and does not need to pay a price.
If there is pie in the sky, the crazy will go to plow the land.
Zhang Anshi was also very puzzled when he heard the Thirteenth Taibao, he couldn't help but look at Yang Rong: "Mr. Yang...you are very well-informed, have you heard of it?"
Yang Rong smiled bitterly and said: "The Taibao is an official position, one of the three princes, but...the Thirteenth Taibao...it was Li Keyong, the Jiedushi at the end of the Tang Dynasty at that time. They were very brave, so people at that time called them the Thirteenth Taibao. Since then...many people have taken the word Taibao as the title of a brave man."
Zhang Anshi said: "So that's how it is."
Zhu Di said: "I didn't order the Taibao, and they dare to designate themselves. It's really unreasonable."
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty calm down, let's understand the situation first."
At the moment, someone called those craftsmen again.
These craftsmen were detained, they were brought here for interrogation, and when they heard that His Majesty had arrived in person, their faces turned pale with fright, only when they heard that Duke Wei was here, did they feel slightly relieved.
Asked why.
The Baoding Hou who was screaming just now suddenly withered and hid behind the crowd, fearing that someone would look at him.
Zhu Di looked at Baoding Hou Mengshan, and said coldly: "Okay, your son... It's terrible, not to mention that he is so bold that he dared to call himself the Taibao after he committed such a world-shattering event. If you dare to call yourself Sangong today, then tomorrow ...Don't you still want to make yourself the emperor?"
Baoding Hou Mengshan just felt dizzy, scolded himself for giving birth to such a little beast, bowed down, and howled: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... this child was fine before, but since he was taken away by Wei Guogong, the minister did not." Thinking of it, it turned out to be like this... the guilty minister will die... ten thousand deaths..."
Zhang Anshi: "..."
Zhu Di said coldly: "Dare to cause such a thing in Shangyuan County, I thought that these boys would be able to keep their own place after taking Qixia with them, but who would have thought that they would be so insolent, it's really outrageous. "
Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Your Majesty... I have never taught them this, I think they are self-taught."
Zhu Di waved his hand: "Come here...follow me, today...if I don't give them a little color, this Ming Dynasty will really become a place where there is no law."
At that moment, he left the county office, got on his horse, and galloped away.
All the guards followed in a mighty manner.
The Marquis of Baoding stood up resentfully, with a mixture of sadness and joy on his face.
Happily, the son is still alive.
The bad news is that this son should have drowned in the urinal when he was born, so he will do whatever it takes to make the Meng family ransack the family and exterminate the family.
Taking advantage of His Majesty's advance, Zhang Anshi stepped forward and said with a wry smile: "Marquis Baoding... I really didn't teach him..."
Meng Shandao: "It's you, it's you, it's you! I'm such a good son, who used to just beat people, swear in the street, at most he followed Ding Guogong to steal chickens and dogs, how dare he do such a thing of beheading?"
Seeing him chattering and still reading, Zhang Anshi quickly ran away.
…………
A team of people quickly surrounded the workshop.
Then, dozens of big Han generals walked ahead with their swords, and opened the thick door of the workshop.
A eunuch rushed in quickly and shouted: "Your Majesty is here... Everyone... go in and check first, see if there is anything that can be blown up."
Then, another team of Jin Yiwei rushed in.
Looking at the high walls of this workshop, Zhu Di couldn't help being speechless. He has been to Qixia many times, and this is the first time he has come to such a place.
No wonder those guys are lording over here, but there is no movement. They thought it was changed, but who would have expected... just suppress the news.
Xu Jingchang and the others... were driven out.
Seeing that the emperor came in person, and seeing many people fighting openly, they were already frightened.
Xu Jingchang hurriedly brought people to meet him.
Zhu Di was riding on a horse, waving a whip in his hand. When he saw Xu Jingchang, he was furious. He pointed his whip condescendingly at him and said, "But Xu Taibao..."
Xu Jingchang: "..."
Seeing that Xu Jingchang did not respond.
Zhu Di said angrily: "I see, the Taibao Taibao despised you, you should be the Taishi."
"Your Majesty...I...I...I..."
"Do you know what you did?"
"Chen...Chen...No..."
Zhu Di began to count people: "One, two... three... twelve... thirteen... fourteen..."
"Why 14 people?"
Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty...the minister was wronged...they called themselves the Thirteenth Taibao, and the minister was wronged..."
Xu Jingchang roared heart-piercingly.
The 13 people in the back drooped their heads, not daring to show their air.
Zhang Anshi sounded familiar, but was a little dumbfounded.
It's just... Many people looked at Zhang Anshi in unison.
Especially Nacheng Duke Zhu Neng and Qi Duke Qiu Fu.
Seeing this, Baoding Hou Mengshan had already got off his horse, rushed towards the crowd, picked up his son, and slapped his face several times: "Your mother, you dare to do such a thing, so hurry up and confess."
The child was beaten into a daze, and said in his mouth: "Father, I don't care about you."
Meng Shan was even angrier, he raised his hand and wanted to hit him, he was extremely sad and angry, isn't this a big fool?Zhang Anshi fooled Xu Jingchang, Xu Jingchang fooled you group of brainless guys.
Zhu Di said angrily: "The state owns the state law, is Meng Qing's family going to lynch?"
After hearing this, Meng Shan hurriedly bowed down, saying that he would die. "
Zhu Di had also been provoked into anger at this time, and he said angrily: "At the beginning, I expected that the children of the honorable ministers would be ruined if they were pampered. You still have a bit of conscience, not so evil, at most, that is... just hard to bear the heavy responsibility. Who would have thought that you would be so vile, your wings have grown hard, you proclaim yourself an official position, and disturb the people, how dare you This kind of thinking. Especially you...you are Duke Ding, and your father...died for Jing Nan. As a son, you should know the difficulty of your late father and inherit his legacy. Why do you dare to do such a thing? thing?"
Duke Ding Xu Jingchang was so frightened that he didn't say a word. He just bowed his head and prostrated himself on the ground. He knew Zhu Di well, and he must not contradict him at this time. His Majesty is tired of cursing, so he won't scold him anymore.
Zhu Di looked sideways at Zhang Anshi: "Zhang Qing's family... Didn't you say that if they are imprisoned here, they will become talents?"
Zhang Anshi smiled wryly, what can he say, could it be that this is the worst class of students I have ever brought up, these bastards, they were not good people when they were born in the womb, so they can't take care of them?
Zhu Di said angrily: "Do you know... what is the crime of making gunpowder privately?"
After Xu Jingchang heard this, he quickly denied it: "Your Majesty, it's not privately made, it's a military workshop, and it's just making all kinds of..."
"Shut up, I say you are who you are!"
Xu Jingchang said quickly: "Yes, yes, I am dead, I made gunpowder privately... No, I didn't make gunpowder privately. I am wronged, I am wronged."
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhu Di didn't expect this guy to dare to talk back.
Xu Jingchang said: "This is... this is according to... following brother-in-law's method..."
Zhang Anshi immediately interrupted him: "Okay, talk about your own problems, don't rely on others for everything!"
Xu Jingchang said: "Brother-in-law, let me tell you the truth, we...we are doing experiments."
"Experiment..." Zhu Di couldn't help laughing angrily: "What kind of experiment."
"Power...momentum..." Xu Jingchang said.
Zhu Di didn't understand.
The rest are also at a loss.
Only Zhang Anshi can probably understand a little bit, but... Seeing these crooked melons and dates, he doesn't want to talk.
Xu Jingchang hastily said: "Your Majesty... this power experiment... you know, it's boiling water... boiling water produces gas, and then uses pistons and other principles to make it move."
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhu Di probably understands every word here, but if he connects them all, Zhu Di feels that he has become illiterate.
Xu Jingchang said: "My lord... I used this to burn the steam, and it was quite successful, but... this thing... the power is still too small, but as the saying goes, once you know this principle, then burn other things... ...Maybe, it can have greater power, so...the ministers thought of a way, if they use kerosene...add gunpowder, add them together, and burn them...This power, Couldn't it just be multiplied? So...the minister waited...and experimented, who would have expected...maybe it was because he wanted to do it overnight, so...the gunpowder and kerosene...we added a little more..."
"A little bit……"
Zhu Di was furious, it's okay not to say, just a little bit from this guy's mouth, the sound of the explosion has already spread to the Forbidden City.
Zhu Di rode forward and wanted to give him a whip, and shouted: "Now, I still want to deceive the king. If it weren't for your late father's face, I would like to kill you, you bastard."
pat...
Xu Jingchang was whipped, and immediately became honest, crying loudly: "I am wronged, I am wronged..."
Seeing that he made such a loud noise at this time, Zhu Di finally softened his heart. He wanted to whip down the whip, but the whip in his hand stopped abruptly. He finally sighed: "Qin II died, so did Sui. It's because of the unworthy descendants. I am blessed, and my descendants are finally able to live up to their expectations. And your family, how hard your father and brother worked so hard at the beginning, and now, you have managed to earn the family fortune. Who would have thought... Out of you bastards. Someone... ordered..."
He steered his horse, with an angry face on his face: "Prison them, and their titles... let their family inherit from their sons..."
Xu Jingchang and the others... were scared out of their wits.
Xu Jingchang said: "I have only one son in my family."
Zhu Di glanced at him: "Then let your brother-in-law's son inherit it. Aren't you a brother-in-law if you open your mouth, and you are a brother-in-law if you keep your mouth shut."
Xu Jingchang: "..."
Zhang Anshi: "..."
And this good thing?
Zhang Anshi paused for a moment, but hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, no, no... Your Majesty..."
Zhu Di said: "I'm talking about his own brother-in-law."
"Oh." Zhang Anshi drooped his head, hesitant to speak.
Yang Rong and others were on the sidelines, eager to try.
Obviously, although he knew that what His Majesty said was angry, but no matter how he said it, it was against the law of etiquette.
Just kidding, even if it is inherited by the concubine, or even by the cousins of the uncle, I have never heard of it... for the nephew.
If so, wouldn't Zhang Anshi also become the heir of the royal family?
Before everyone wanted to persuade him, Zhu Di waved his hand: "You don't need to persuade me, what I said was out of anger. Then first depose the Duke of Dingguo to see the effect later. This kid, he didn't say a word of truth, and I would be so angry .”
Xu Jingchang said: "Your Majesty, I didn't... I didn't deceive the emperor... I was really doing an experiment."
Zhu Di said angrily: "What kind of bird experiment did you do, don't use it as a cover."
"Chen...Chen...I always listen to my brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law taught me how to do it..."
Zhang Anshi immediately began to move his legs back unconsciously, and moved a few steps. Someone groaned, but stepped on Jin Zhong's foot behind him: "Ah, no wonder the old man said that there will be bloodshed today."
Zhang Anshi had no way to hide at this moment, so he could only say: "Your Majesty, there really is such an experiment, and I dare not lie to it."
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi: "You don't have to hide it for him."
"Your Majesty, this motivation...is really a great subject. If you learn it well, it will be enough to change the pattern of the world..."
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhang Anshi said: "It's just that they are stupid, they only know what's going on, but they don't know why, and they are messing about. I have given them the best solution, but instead of doing it, they just focus on gunpowder and kerosene. "
"Really?" Zhu Di looked suspicious.
At this time, Zhang Anshi had no choice but to scold Xu Jingchang, so as to vent his anger on Zhu Di. Maybe later, Zhu Di decided to forgive them, so he angrily said to Xu Jingchang: "You bastard, what a good thing you did, teach me You are away from home, don't report my name, you just want to do it..."
He cursed again: "Let you study in the direction of steam, you are born to toss that."
"Brother-in-law..." Xu Jingchang said with red eyes: "I have studied it, steam... I have already researched it, but it is too simple... Isn't it just to build a boiler, burn coal in it, and then boil water? Any fool will understand."
Zhang Anshi said: "Hey, you still dare to talk back, don't you? It's one thing to understand its truth, but another thing to produce a finished product. How can there be such an easy thing in the world? I haven't taught you. Are all things easy to say but hard to do? A group of bastards, who don’t like to learn, just want to learn from those damned scholars. "
Hu Guang standing beside Yang Rong: "..."
Then Xu Jingchang said: "The finished product has also come out, the force is too weak, it doesn't work... We don't think it's interesting."
Zhang Anshi was taken aback: "What finished product."
"The principle of the steam engine and the contents of the compendium written down by my brother-in-law..."
Zhang Anshi looked surprised and said: "Really? Don't lie to me. I am not Your Majesty. Your Majesty has a knife mouth and a tofu heart. Today he said that he will imprison you and take your title. Tomorrow he will release you and restore your title." .”
Zhu Di twitched his face.
Xu Jingchang said: "How dare you lie, this guy is heavy, so...in another test site, at the beginning...it was reported, and it was said that it had great results, but unfortunately my brother-in-law ignored us, and we still said yes The brother-in-law was dissatisfied with this, thinking in his heart how to change the way of boiling water. This is why..."
Zhang Anshi was surprised, but was speechless.
"Can you move?"
"can."
"you sure?"
"Sure, it has been tested many times."
Seeing the two talking to each other, Zhu Di found that he could not hear what the two said, so he angrily asked Zhang Anshi, "What are you talking about?"
At this moment, Zhang Anshi became complacent, put his hands on his hips, with his nostrils facing the sky, and said proudly: "Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not!"

Staying up late every day, the efficiency is indeed a bit slower, sorry, Tiger continues to adjust.
