I want to ruin the country

Ruijin secretly regretted that no matter how careful he was, he still fell into the emperor's trap. He said,

"I don't want it. If Your Majesty insists on giving it to me, I would be disobeying His Majesty's order, and I won't disobey His Majesty's order!"

Yining smiled and pointed at Ruijin.

"You, you, are becoming more and more unreal!"

Ruijin muttered,

"Your Majesty has made this servant startled. Do you blame me?"

The king and his ministers joked for a while, and Yining said,

"Minister of Revenue Rui Jin has done a great job. He is rewarded with a yellow jacket and five thousand taels of silver!"

Rui Jinle's forehead wrinkles were all gone. Twenty million taels of silver was the actual amount of money that the Ministry of Revenue had deposited into its treasury over the past two years. This made him feel much better. It was easy to be a rich official!

From now on, I can hold my head high when I meet these ministers. The emperor is sometimes very caring!

Not only did the government become rich, but I also got five thousand taels of silver. Haha, how peaceful it is to spend the money awarded by the emperor!

I also have a yellow jacket, which means I can gain both fame and fortune!

Yining said again,

"Don't be happy yet. Most of this money is going to be used by Master Seng to suppress bandits. When he spends it, you can't deduct it from him!"

Ruijin understood immediately.

"Your Majesty, how dare I slack off in suppressing the bandits?"

Yining Road,

"It's good that you understand. This matter cannot be taken lightly!"

Ruijin nodded.

"I will definitely support Master Senglin in suppressing the bandits. If I withhold even a penny, the Emperor will kill me, the breadwinner!

Yining nodded.

"However, you must also supervise the use of the money you take out.

We need a clear account!"

Now that he has money, Rui Jinle's forehead wrinkles have disappeared.

"I will definitely figure it out, Your Majesty, please rest assured!"

Yining said again,

"During this anti-corruption campaign, Master Lin and Master Du have made outstanding contributions. Each of them will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver and a yellow riding jacket!"

Lin Zexu and Du Shoutian were so excited that they kowtowed to express their gratitude.

Zaiyuan, Wenqing and Peng Yunzhang were also rewarded with five thousand taels of silver and a yellow jacket, and everyone was very happy!

After the meeting, Senglinqin made preparations for the expedition to suppress the bandits while vigorously rectifying military affairs.

With the emperor's support, he carried out drastic reforms on the Eight Banners and Green Camp soldiers.

Military discipline was enforced in accordance with the Three Disciplines and Eight Points for Attention, and a number of mid-level, high-level, and low-level officers were removed, further streamlining the ranks.

In more than half a month, the atmosphere in the military camp has undergone a qualitative change.

Large quantities of unscrupulous cannons, bazookas, rockets and grenades were also transported in.

Senglinqin quickly arranged for people to familiarize themselves with the technique and provide training.

Fortunately, these things are easy to learn and have little to do with literacy, so everyone quickly mastered the essentials.

Yining also issued an imperial edict, urging bandits, thieves, robbers and robbers from all over the country to surrender to the local government as soon as possible.

The decree was very clear: unless it was a major crime, no one would be held responsible as long as they surrendered themselves.

If you don’t have the ability to make a living, the government will arrange a way out for you and will never let you die of hunger or cold!

This trick was really effective. Some timid people who were held hostage by the bandits secretly ran back home after hearing the news.

So, don’t underestimate the tactics of winning over people’s hearts and minds, they can sometimes play a big role.

After things were arranged, Yining felt a little more relaxed.

Zhang Zhidong built the arsenal in Songjiayao, south of Beijing.

Yining changed into casual clothes and took Yifang and the others out of the palace.

The roads in the capital are difficult to travel on now, because the entire city has become a big construction site with roads being built everywhere.

The city construction project has also been carried out in full swing. Not only city construction, Zaiyuan also built ten large nursing homes and ten royal schools in the capital.

There is no longer a single homeless person on the streets of the capital, and fewer and fewer people line up at the soup kitchens every day.

A large amount of labor was invested in these projects in the capital. As a result, not only did the residents of the capital have jobs and income, but even the idle people in the surrounding areas were utilized.

Not only do they have food to eat, they also have money to earn, and their families can also have enough to eat!

After leaving the city, there are green wheat fields on both sides of the road, and the wheat waves roll in the breeze.

Yining got off the horse and went to the wheat field. The wheat was only two feet high and the seedlings were very sparse. The size of the wheat ears was incomparable to that of later generations.

He plucked off an ear of wheat and rubbed it in his hands, then held it in his palms and blew on it a few times. Only the soft green wheat grains remained in his palms, and only half a kernel was left.

I threw it in my mouth and started chewing it. A refreshing fragrance came to my taste buds. It has been years since I have eaten wheat ears like this!

There were several rains in the spring, and the crops are growing well this year. However, there are no chemical fertilizers and pesticides now, so apart from some farmyard manure, we basically rely on the weather. A good harvest can only produce two or three hundred kilograms of wheat per acre of land.

If you want to significantly increase grain production, it is impossible without technology. You also need to build fertilizer plants!

The Huateng Arsenal covers an area of ​​1,500 acres. The blue brick wall has been erected and the gate is almost completed.

The emperor arrived, and Zhang Zhidong and Yi Hongxing hurried over to greet him.

Yining saw that Zhang Zhidong's clothes were covered in mud and his boots were even dirtier, and said,

"Zhang Zhidong, how many days have you not changed your clothes?"

Zhang Zhidong laughed and said,

"Your Majesty, this was just changed today!"

Yi Hongzhang said hurriedly,

"Your Majesty, I just changed it today. Director Zhang walks around the yard every day, so the clothes get dirty quickly!"

Yining Road,

"You don't have much to do, you have to take good care of his life!"

Yi Hongxing bowed and said,

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will serve Director Zhang comfortably!"

Zhang Zhidong Road,

"Your Majesty, thanks to Eunuch Yi, things are much easier now!

I dare not ask Eunuch Yi to serve me. Eunuch Yi is the emperor's man. I just need Eunuch Yi's support!"

Yining Road,

"Yi Hongxing, don't bully others by relying on your status. If I find out, watch out for your hide!"

Yi Hongxing said with a smile,

"I know my status and will not bring shame to the Emperor!"

Yining Road,

"Yi Guofang, reward him with 100 taels of silver. He's been running around with Director Zhang every day, it must be very tiring!"

Yi Hongxing quickly knelt down and kowtowed, feeling extremely grateful.

In fact, Yi Hongxing is not tired at all following Zhang Zhidong now, and he is basically not needed.

Everyone knows that the emperor is behind Zhang Zhidong, so who dares to offend him? No matter what he does, he gets the green light, and he doesn't have to worry about anything else.

Here, Zhang Zhidong is the boss and he is the second in command. Who dares not respect him?

He didn't feel restrained at all, and was very comfortable, as if he didn't want to leave here!

The layout here was planned by Yining according to later enterprises. The office area, work area and living area are separated and are now under construction at the same time.

In order to speed up the work, Zhang Zhidong used the tactic of human wave, and the whole yard was full of people.

There is no other way. Now it is purely manual work, relying on carrying on shoulders and lifting by people. The more people there are, the higher the efficiency.
