Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Seeing that Xia Wanchun agreed without hesitation, Zhu Youjian was very relieved:

"Pingshen, I hope you will not disappoint my expectations, you must be rich and honorable, rich and humble cannot be moved, mighty and mighty cannot be subdued, stick to your bottom line!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, Xia Wanchun will never disappoint your expectations."

"Okay, White Tiger."

Hearing the emperor calling him, Baihu immediately entered the private room:

"Chen is here!"

Zhu Youjian raised his head and said to Baihu:

"Choose two Jin Yiwei who are good at martial arts, and let them stay close to protect Xia Wanchun from today, and obey Xia Wanchun's command in everything."

"According to the purpose"

Baihu promised, turned around and went out, and soon brought two Jinyiwei hundred households. It was the first time for the two Jinyiwei hundred households to have such close contact with the emperor, and they were very disturbed.

"See Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youjian saw that the two were tall and upright, and he was very satisfied. In fact, these two were also summoned, and there was no need to doubt their loyalty.

"Excuse me, from today onwards, you are Xia Wanchun's bodyguards, if anything happens to him, I will never forgive him lightly."

"Abiding by the order, rest assured, Your Majesty, we swear to protect Lord Xia to the death."

Zhu Youjian nodded, then took out a flintlock gun and fifty bullets to Xia Wanchun.

"This is for your self-defense, those people will jump over the wall in a hurry, you must pay attention to safety!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xia Wanchun hurriedly knelt down and took the flintlock gun and the bullets. He saw the princess used them before. They were absolutely good things.

Back at Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youjian found that the two ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households were waiting for him. When the emperor came back, the two of them immediately stepped forward to salute:

"My minister Meng Zhaoxiang, Ni Yuanlu sees Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian didn't stop, walking towards the imperial study while talking:

"Free from courtesy, let's discuss matters in the Imperial Study Room!"

"According to the purpose"

The two of them immediately followed the emperor to the imperial study, and a young eunuch immediately brought them stools. They didn't dare to sit down, and went straight to the topic.

Meng Zhaoxiang cupped his hands and played:

"Your Majesty, I have made a thorough investigation. So far, Daming has not found anthracite coal. Do you think it is necessary to mobilize charcoal from the south for heating?"

Zhu Youjian couldn't help frowning, don't think it's a trivial matter, many people will freeze to death in the ice age winter, this problem must be solved.

He knows that China's anthracite coal reserves have reached more than 4000 billion tons, accounting for 10010 of the total coal stock. In that underdeveloped dynasty, it would not be used up in a thousand years.

Recalling the locations of several modern anthracite bases, he said:

"Daming anthracite is mainly distributed in Shanxi and Guizhou provinces, as well as Henan and Sichuan provinces. The resource reserves in these four provinces are the highest.

There is also a stock of anthracite coal in Xishan of the capital, and Shanxi, which is closer to the capital, also has a large stock of anthracite coal. I will give them a drawing of the specific location and the process.

The Ministry of Industry immediately searched for and excavated anthracite according to the location marked on the drawing. It must ensure the heating of the people in the northern region. This year, I will never allow anyone to freeze to death. "

As Zhu Youjian said, he took out two drawings from his sleeve, one was the position of anthracite, and the other was the treatment method of anthracite.

Seeing the emperor taking out two blueprints at once as if trying to do a trick, Meng Zhaoxiang and Ni Yuanlu were taken aback for a moment, but they didn't dare to ask, but they respected the emperor even more in their hearts.

After Zhu Youjian handed the two blueprints to Meng Zhaoxiang, Meng Zhaoxiang looked at the emperor, and did not retreat immediately, but looked at Ni Yuanlu and said:

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry needs silver taels to deal with these matters. You see, I have summoned Mr. Ni from the Household Department. Can you allocate some silver taels?"

Zhu Youjian laughed as soon as he heard it:

"No wonder the two of you came to me together. You wanted money. Master Ni allocated 5 taels of silver to the Ministry of Industry to cooperate with the Ministry of Industry as much as possible."

"According to the purpose"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

After the two left, Zhu Youjian thought for a while, and then exchanged the blueprint for a coal cutting machine in the system mall, which was to prepare for the production of honeycomb coal.

Once the anthracite is excavated, it is immediately made into briquettes, which can not only be used for heating, but also for cooking and boiling water. If you have sweet potatoes at home, you can also roast sweet potatoes.

Two days later, Zhu Youjian received a memorial from the Ministry of Industry that the anthracite coal from Xishan of the capital had been found and passed the test.

After receiving this news, Zhu Youjian was very pleased, and immediately asked people to send the production drawings of the coal cutter to the Ministry of Industry, so that the blacksmiths of the Ministry of Industry could produce as many coal cutters as possible.

There are happy events every year, especially today.

As soon as the blueprints for the coal machine were sent away, two fast horses entered the capital, and soon people entered the Qianqing Palace. They were the messengers sent by Qi Jiguang and Qinglong.

"Your Majesty, the Commander of Jinyiwei sent a messenger to escort the entire Kong family to the capital in the afternoon."

Chapter 307

Zhu Youjian was overjoyed when he heard that Jin Yiwei and Dongchang troops were about to escort the entire Kong family to Beijing.

He immediately decreed:

"Pass the decree, order Qinglong to send the Kong family directly to the imperial prison, and let them all sign and draw notes."

"According to the purpose"

The Kong family had too much influence on the literati and civil servants of the Ming Dynasty. If there is not enough evidence to kill the entire Kong family, it will definitely cause a shock to the situation.

Zhu Youjian didn't want these literati to rise up to resist just after the rogues and captives were wiped out.

This will cause the people who have just had enough to eat to fall into panic again, and the economy that has just begun to recover in Ming Dynasty will be hit and affected.

After the imperial decree was conveyed, Zhu Youjian began to check the examination papers of the Juren.

Three hundred articles, during which time he has roughly read more than 200 chapters, and plans to read them all today.

This time he found that many Juren's thinking had changed, and he expressed his loyalty to Daming.

There are even many people who say that if their family members betray the country, they will not show mercy, and they will eradicate the traitors with their own hands, and make things clearer.

There is also the promise of being a clean and honest official. Of course, no one knows their true thoughts.
