The Ming Dynasty’s Prodigal Son - Chapter 1811

[1811.Chapter 1723 People’s fat and people’s anointing]

Fang Jifan sighed: “Your Majesty, although Ms. Liang is my disciple, your Majesty knows me. I have always been a person who promotes virtuous people without avoiding relatives and is selfless. This Ms. Liang is always needed when needed. Accompanying the Queen Mother, serving in front of the Queen Mother, but at the same time, she also needs to accompany the Queen Mother. Many of the female officials and maids in the palace are illiterate, so what kind of knowledge can they have? However, Female Doctor Liang is quite knowledgeable. Her identity is a medical officer. When she is with the Queen Mother, she can always talk to her to relieve her boredom. It would be better if Your Majesty raises her status a little higher.”

Zhu Houzhao put his hands behind his back and said smoothly: “This. It’s easy, make her a noble concubine!”

Fang Jifan thought that Zhu Houzhao was like a traitor. This bitch went everywhere to appoint officials and make wishes. Today he is the king, and tomorrow he is the concubine…

Fang Jifan glared at Zhu Houzhao: “…”

Zhu Houzhao himself was happy. He said: “Haha, of course, I don’t dare. I know that you are close to her. A gentleman will not take away from others’ favor, so give her a first-grade

imperial edict.” As he said that, something suddenly flashed in Zhu Houzhao’s eyes. Then his eyes showed suspicion and suspicion, and he stared at Fang Jifan: “Old Fang, you are the prince-in-law, you…could it be…”

Fang Jifan stared at him and said: “What do you mean by your majesty? Your majesty must not be suspicious, I am A member of the Women’s Association. “

The Women’s Association has become very new in Beijing recently. A group of women who have started to earn money are beginning to feel dissatisfied with the men having three wives and four concubines, so… this guild that advocates monogamy became It was born, and many women participated in it. Although the commotion has not improved yet, but… it seems that society has begun to change slightly.

This world has always been like this. When women come out to work and can support themselves, they are naturally not willing to be subordinates.

And Fang Jifan was honored to be the only man in the women’s association, because… he was in favor of monogamy with both feet.

As a person who has escaped from vulgar tastes, a noble person, and a wise man who has lived for two generations, Fang Jifan gritted his teeth when he saw those dogs with their wives and concubines, wishing to cut them into pieces to relieve his hatred.

To a certain extent, Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao were deadly rivals in this position.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Fang Jifan with a look of contempt, and then curled his lips: “What about the Zhang brothers, call them back?”

Speaking of this, Fang Jifan sighed: “It’s useless to call them back, why not just let them outside? You’ll have to suffer.”

“Oh.” Zhu Houzhao nodded: “I don’t want to pay attention to them, but the railway… has already started, but I don’t know what to do. I am really worried. I have spent so much money. This is unprecedented. If something goes wrong in this unprecedented big project, it will be terrible. I will really become Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, and you will be a big traitor.”

Zhu Houzhao is looking forward to this railway. Once the railway is completed, it will mean countless wealth. , as well as the acceleration of information and logistics, which will bring about earth-shaking changes to the entire Ming Dynasty.

Fang Jifan couldn’t help but trembled when he heard Zhu Houzhao’s words, and said: “Your Majesty, I must take good care of your Majesty, and nothing will go wrong.”

Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction.

Next, the biggest excitement in the capital was that a large number of newcomers appeared in a mighty manner. Countless people set off separately and were immediately assigned to various armies to wait for orders.

Xishan Medical College is crazy busy.

Because a large number of people arrive and are in one place, diseases are most likely to breed. All recruits must be screened by the medical school. In order to prevent epidemics, all possible diseases must be guarded against. Not only that, the barracks everywhere also need to be screened. It must be clean and tidy, and there must be no sewage. Alcohol and other materials must be distributed in each barracks for cleaning.

Zhou Yi returned to the capital, but when he returned to his hometown, he was still penniless. But now, he has married a wife and has become the pillar of the family. He has the status of a non-commissioned officer. When he sees people coming back from all over the world One can imagine how they felt when all the robes came back to order their meal.

Almost 99% of the veterans of the former First Army have returned.

Immediately afterwards, they were reorganized, and then Zhou Yi was assigned to the Third Army.

The veterans of the First Army brought a small team of troops back to their military life after a long absence. Of course, he got familiar with it quickly, but the newcomers who came with longings soon discovered that they were sent here. It is not a good life at all. Although there is meat to eat, what follows is endless suffering.

Seeing these soldiers, who had been in so much pain and had been practicing all morning, looking like dead dogs, Zhou Yi couldn’t help but snicker, thinking that he was just like them back then.

Of course… the only difference is that these newcomers are much more confident than the former first officers and soldiers. After all, although many people come from ordinary backgrounds, they are not bitter. This is what people call Children from good families usually do not feel inferior to themselves, and they generally do not have to worry about starving to death at home. In addition, when they joined the army, they carried the hopes of their whole family or the whole village. Therefore, although they endured hardships, they were still proud deep inside.

They are proud to be able to enroll in the army. Although the endless torture in the army is disappointing, they do not lose hope for the future.

The camps everywhere were filled with murderous intent and trumpets were blaring.

Wang Shouren, the Minister of War, inspected the camps and urged them to practice.

Standing army… everything is starting to fall into place.

………

Railway construction has begun.

In Luoyang… a group of craftsmen have arrived, and soon… a large number of merchants, and personnel from the Steam Research Institute have arrived. The local prefectures and counties have quickly prepared water and wine to reward them.

When they learned that… several iron-making workshops and several wood-processing workshops were needed to be built here, the local parents murmured in their hearts that it was so troublesome to lay iron on the ground.

Fortunately… these people have money, not to mention… merchants are flocking here, eager to enter the procurement and get orders.

The iron kiln was being built very quickly. At the same time, the land began to be leveled. The rails that came out of the workshop one by one were inspected and then pulled by horse-drawn carriages and laid.

Engineering staff wearing rattan hats write and draw with charcoal pens all day long, and there are also people wearing glasses and carrying triangular equipment, walking around over mountains and ridges.

The people of Luoyang found it very strange and had never seen such a posture before.

The person in charge here is Wu Xiong, the great engineer of Xishan Jianye. Wu Xiong has been responsible for Xishan Jianye’s projects for many years. After graduating from Xishan Academy, he worked as a draftsman at the lowest level and also went to the southwest for several explorations. In 2000, he also presided over the construction of a theater. After that… he was responsible for the construction of the railway. Now, the Luoyang section is in his hands.

In this era, because steam cars could not run fast, the requirements for railways were not high, but even so, it was by no means a worry-free thing.

This is a big project and every step needs to be taken care of.

On this day, Wu Xiong was very busy, but at this moment, someone came panting and said anxiously: “It’s not good, it’s not good.”

“What’s the matter?” Wu Xiong looked at the busy guy and got angry. Without thinking about it, I couldn’t help but feel a little bit in my heart. Could it be that there was an accident in the project? If so, then…

“The two uncles are coming. They have just passed through the Xingyang section. The Xingyang section has been turned upside down. Seeing them heading west, I specially asked someone to send an urgent report. Today… …It’s almost there…”

Wu Xiong suddenly felt dizzy, and the two uncles came… This is worse than an accident in the project!

You know, these two uncles… within Xishan Jianye, they are already talking like a tiger, and they are acting like the king of hell.

Wu Xiong hurriedly said: “Quick, quick… spread the news to all the work sections, don’t make any trouble at this time, and… calculate the accounts again, don’t make any mistakes, there are still people… from From now on, if anyone is idle inside or outside this construction site, don’t blame me for being rude. Someone… come… bring me the drawings. From today on, I won’t sleep. I’ll look at the drawings. Oh, by the way. , I also want to change my clothes. I can’t wear silk. The last time someone wore silk, they got scolded. I’m looking for a commoner, preferably one with lice patches…”

…

When Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling arrived, Wu Xiong was writing and drawing on the engineering drawings with a charcoal pencil and playing with lice at the same time.

The two brothers walked around the construction site first, just like ordinary people watching, and then came.

Along the way… Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling lived in the open air, and their bodies were already dirty. Zhang Heling had many patches on his clothes. He was stroking his long and messy beard, and his eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.

Zhang Yanling, on the other hand, is a little soft on his feet. He is hungry and dazzled. He has only eaten a few steamed cakes along the way. There is no oil or water in his stomach. He is not hungry all the time, so that when he walks, he looks like a piece of paper, which is worrying. He was blown away by the wind.

“Um…” “

Who are you?” Wu Xiong was deliberately surprised, with the expression he should have if a stranger he didn’t know broke into his apartment.

Zhang Heling sneered and said, “Don’t pretend. You knew we were coming. Do you think I don’t know that Xingyang has already tipped you off?”

“This… this…” Wu Xiong was startled. It was indeed… Well-deserved reputation.

So he immediately stood up and wanted to salute.

Zhang Heling ignored him, as if everyone in the world owed him money. He stepped forward, grabbed the drawings from the desk in front of Wu Xiong, and then… began to examine them with his eyes straight.

Zhang Yanling tilted her head and looked left and right, and saw an apple on the desk, so she became angry, stepped forward and slapped the table: “What a piece of shit, the people are fat and the people are rich, you still eat apples? Where is your conscience?”

Wu Xiong: “I… …”

…

The new January will be here in one hour. I hope that students who have votes will not waste it and vote for Tiger. Thank you!
