The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

In the next few days, Xiao Rui kept smiling from ear to ear because of the pregnancy of the two wives.

Li Xiu'er, Zhang Ruoxi, and Xiao Qingqing all visited the palace upon hearing the news, sent blessings and envied them, especially Li Xiu'er and Xiao Qingqing, their inner feelings were even more complicated, and they both expected this, but their identity was a hindrance after all.

Seemingly in time for the good thing to happen, Xiao Yan also explained Nalan Yanran's situation to his Majesty. His Majesty did not stop him, he directly gave the marriage, and for the sake of Nalan Yanran, it was a scandal to get pregnant after unmarried, so he immediately finished the marriage.

Xiao Rui personally attended and gave a congratulatory gift, blessing Xiao Yan to marry his concubine in a lively manner.

Unconsciously, time has come to the Xiaoxue solar term.

There are poems:

Xiaoxueqingsha does not make mud, and the curtain is red and sun shines.

Years are already late with the plum shoots, and spring returns from the grass first.

In his new year, the temperature only decreased during the Xiaoxue solar term, but with the advent of the Little Ice Age, the environment between the world and the earth was harsh. The Qi and Yuan dynasties had snowstorms as early as more than ten days, and Daxia finally ushered in the first place here. Field of snow.

Xiao Rui stood in front of the gate of the East Palace, looking at the falling snow, crystal clear, but the snow was not dense, and it was only dyed white on the eaves of the palace in the middle of the night.

She stretched out her hand to catch the falling snowflakes, icy cold, and behind her palm, Xiao Rui's heart was also silent.

Suddenly, someone behind him put a big cloak on Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui looked back, and it was Li Ruoxue.

"Why did you come out? Slip carefully!" Xiao Rui quickly supported Li Ruoxue.

Li Ruoxue showed a gentle smile: "Your majesty, don't worry, the concubines are already very careful. Looking at the snow, it shouldn't be too big."

Xiao Rui looked at the sky in a white and bright state, not the depression and dimness of the blizzard, so he said, "The weather shouldn't be big, but this winter is another cold winter. Summer is rarely so early. It's snowing."

"Yes, it's really rare that it snows during the Xiaoxue solar terms. Your Highness, aren't you talking about the influence of the Little Ice Age? If this year is another cold winter, the people's life will be difficult." Li Ruoxue also worried.

Xiao Rui nodded.

The rich and the wealthy can burn charcoal, burn wood, and wear comfortable clothes, but the poor people can only rub their bone-cold hands to make a living, just as Xiao Rui read out in the Golden Palace during the Blizzard the year before. ", that is the most true portrayal of the poor.

To this day, Xiao Rui turned his head to look at what he was doing. There were not many actions that really benefited this era.

Printing, bamboo and paper, colleges, and recruitment halls are for the purpose of cultivating scholars, cultivating talents, and selecting talents.

Gunpowder and Zhuge Liannu are weapons of protecting the country, but they are also like opening a Pandora's box.

However, the emergence of corn and potatoes is a real benefit to the people.

As for the cement being invented now, it is also an improvement.

But these are not enough.

Xiao Rui likes this sentence very much, and has always regarded it as his own way of dealing with the world.

When a person has no abilities, it is value to live well without dragging down others and the society. When you have the ability, it is also worthwhile to benefit the world. The two values ​​have no pros or cons, but some just bring different results.

Xiao Rui now has the ability. If he doesn't continue to do something, he will be sorry for the faith in his heart.

So after Xiao Rui sent Li Ruoxue back to the house, he immediately went to see Emperor Xia.

When he arrived at the Hall of Yangxin, Yan Xiaoxiao helped Xiao Rui to take off the bigcloak, the underground earth dragon had already burned, and the hall was warm and comfortable.

"Father," Xiao Rui shouted when he came to the dragon table and arched his hands.

Emperor Xia put down the memorial and asked, "Sit down and say, what's the matter?"

Xie Mu today, if Xiao Rui had nothing to do, she definitely didn't come to see herself.

Xiao Rui said: "Father, during Zhao's trip some time ago, the secret of gunpowder has been leaked out, so the sons and ministers feel that there is no need to continue to conceal the existence of gunpowder.

The formula of gunpowder is complicated for strangers, but for alchemists who are proficient in the method of abusing fire, it is not difficult to formulate gunpowder as long as they deliberately research the configuration.

So even if Huang Qilin didn't get the formula for gunpowder from Xiao Rui, he would order it to be configured.

But fortunately, the gunpowder used by Xiao Rui is a mature formula of the system, and it is powerful. Even if Huang Qilin can formulate gunpowder, its power is limited without long-term configuration research, just like the history of gunpowder development in the previous life.

Therefore, Da Xia still has a weapon of magical weapon in his hand, but it has changed from "I have the enemy and no enemy" to "I am strong and weak."

All gunpowder is now produced by Huben Pavilion, and every process is top-secret. Even if the enemy gets the gunpowder, he can’t tell the specific formula of gunpowder without advanced equipment. What's more, a lot of materials are added to the gunpowder to confuse the audience and conceal it. The real recipe.

Since confidentiality can be guaranteed, and the secret of gunpowder has been leaked, it is different from hiding it.

Hearing Xiao Rui's answer, Xia Huang nodded and said, "There is no need to hide it. In addition, it is time for the enemy countries to know Da Xia's trump card."

Although the secret of gunpowder has been leaked, not many people know it. At least Qi, Yuan, Qin, and Wei are still unclear. Once Da Xia announces this mysterious and powerful weapon, the enemy country will be afraid.

Only the stronger the country, other countries dare not offend! This is deterrence and the law of the weak!

After a pause, Emperor Xia said again: "Is the emperor wants to use the power of gunpowder to open mountains and rivers, or even dig coal for mines?"

Xiao Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Erchen has this intention!"

The harm of the Little Ice Age will become more and more serious, and Xiao Rui feels that his pace should be faster. Relying on manpower alone, how long does it take to dig a mountain, how long does it take to clean up a river? As for mining coal, it is hard work.

With gunpowder, it can not only save manpower but also improve efficiency, why not do it? Xiao Rui didn't want to use gunpowder as a tool to kill people, but a tool to save people.

For example, in the coming cold winter, if there is coal in the summer to keep the people warm, don’t they need to be frozen?

Daxia is scarce in minerals, but there is no shortage of coal, even oil!

How is coal formed? It is because a large number of forest trees are buried underground. These trees have been isolated from the air for a long time, and under high temperature and pressure, through a series of complex physical and chemical changes, black combustible fossils are formed. This is the formation process of coal.

The land of Daxia is lush with trees, as it was millions of years ago, but it is buried deep underground, and now there is very little mining.

Xiao Rui also knew that there was gas in coal mines, so explosives could not be used indiscriminately. Black powder was a form of deflagration reaction, which would be very dangerous. But gunpowder has been researched and improved, and someday slurry explosives or even emulsion explosives will be invented.

Even if the coal mine cannot be directly blasted, it can also have other uses. After all, the environment where the coal mines are produced is very harsh, and it is necessary to open mountains and repair roads, and gunpowder can be used.

In addition, there is another reason for the small amount of coal. According to the Daxia system, only the royal government is allowed to mine, and private mining is not allowed. Once discovered, the Ministry of Industry will impose severe penalties.

At this time, Emperor Xia looked at Xiaoxue outside the door and said with a smile: "The emperor has a heart for the people. This is their blessing. I will naturally not stop it. However, the use of gunpowder is a big plan, and it is not something that can be done overnight. The Ministry of Industry has not enough courage to write a book, so it seems to have to be replaced."

After the downfall of Xu Xianyang, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Industry took over. But this Du Shangshu is old and he just wants to be stable and lacks courage. Xia Huang's desire to replace someone has long been in his mind, but his affairs are busy and procrastinated. Until now.

Xiao Rui nodded and naturally agreed with His Majesty's suggestion, but he had another idea. After hesitating for a long time, he asked: "Father, can Da Xia grant permission to mine privately?"

As soon as this remark came out, Xia Huang fell into contemplation for an instant.

As just said, the court does not allow people to mine privately, because after mining privately, the miners do not respect the law, gather all living beings, and even form their own armed forces in order to make money. The court is difficult to control. The result of a long time is mutual Contention, killings and injuries, and also have a greater impact on national taxation.

Qianbo is the most insane, and it is not aimless, so Emperor Xia considered opening mines to the people a long time ago, but he didn't implement it.

Emperor Xia then ordered Hai Dafu to fetch a memorial, and said, "This is a mine-mining memorial sent by the Ministry of Industry and Engineering of the month. Take a look."

After Xiao Rui opened it, he found that the memorial was a request from the Ministry of Industry to appoint a commissioner to mine ore. After the cabinet voted, his Majesty personally approved the red favor.

It is roughly as follows:

"Dai Zhao, the collaborator of the messenger department, together with Jinyiwei and Yang Zongzuo went to Yuzhou to mine."

"Wu Yinglin, a hundred households in Jinyi and Weiwei, went to Xia County, Pingyang Prefecture, Jinzhou, to mine."

"Commanded by Chawuwei, Wang Yunzuo went to Ludong Qingzhou and other prefectures to mine."

...

There are 32 appointments in this memorial, ordering the Ministry of Industry Physician, the internal officials and eunuchs, and the commander of the imprisoned army to go out to mine. The areas involved include Yuzhou, Jinzhou, Qingzhou, Qinzhou, etc., all of which are concentrated in Daxia. area.

The state sends these people to organize manpower to mine, and the income from mining goes to the state treasury. As for manpower, it is natural for the common people to coerce, but the state is limited in the number of mines, which is a drawback.

Secondly, there are shortcomings such as low efficiency and collusion between officials and businesses.

But in general, it is safe for the court to control this private mining.

Xiao Rui returned the memorial and suggested: "Father, or else, we don't promote private mining, but we can promote franchising!"

As soon as the word franchise came out, it immediately attracted the curiosity of Xia Huang.

"Speak in detail!" Xia Huang said.

Xiao Rui explained: "The so-called franchise refers to the imperial court permitting the operator under certain conditions to allow him to engage in production in a certain area~www.wuxiahere.com~ Now Daxia does not allow private mining, but it has been repeatedly prohibited. Some People in remote areas still secretly mine mines. In this case, the imperial court will grant them the qualifications to mine mines according to the rules. This will not only promote taxation, increase the number and scale of mines, but also expand the output of coal mines. Of course, while allowing franchising, it also needs to increase the tracing and punishment of private mines, and conduct audits and inspections on franchised businesses. If the standards are not met, the franchise will be cancelled directly."

After hearing this, Emperor Xia was overjoyed and praised: "You have a lot of ghost ideas. This is a good method. It can be implemented in the coal mine first. If the effect is good, it can also be carried out to other mines."

Xiao Rui nodded, public and private coexist, not only can stabilize the market, but also mobilize the market, why not do it?

"This matter has to be handled by a suitable person. It seems that the Ministry of Industry Shangshu really needs to be changed." Xia Huang said leisurely.

Xiao Rui remained silent, now he is not eager to put his confidant in the six, let alone no suitable candidate.
