Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

Zhu Cihong and his entourage waited, chatting while walking, and slowly came to the gate of the War Bureau, and the residents near this street have also become significantly less, and there are even few pedestrians and shops.

Zhu Cihong looked around, and Li Ruolian on his side observed his words and expressions, and said: "Your Highness, during the Apocalypse, during the Apocalypse, the gunpowder magazine of Wang Gongchang exploded, and many people died, so there are no people living here in the War Bureau, even if the factory is not here, no one wants to approach here."

Zhu Cihong nodded clearly, he really didn't know about this matter, although he had seen a little Ming history in his previous life, he didn't remember all events, and even if he did, he might have forgotten it.

The explosion of the gunpowder store, I want to know that the gunpowder is not stored properly, or the operation is not standardized, it can be seen that since the Wanli period, not only the foreign ministers, but even the eunuchs and eunuchs of the inner court have begun to eat and wait for death, mediocre and incompetent, and there is no way to govern.

This officialdom is the same as the workplace of later generations, it has not changed since the ages, those who are capable are not necessarily in a high position, and those who are in a high position are not necessarily capable.

"Li Ruolian, Zhang Huaibin, let's go in, and the rest of the people are waiting outside.

Zhu Cihong looked at the unguarded gate, shook his head slightly, and then stopped the accompanying eunuch and said, "You don't need to go in to report, the palace wants to see the real situation inside." After

the words fell, a group of more than 20 people walked in, Zhu Cihong saw at a glance that this yamen was in disrepair and had begun to age, but he knew that every year his father allocated a lot of money to the War Bureau, after all, all the weapons and firearms of the entire Ming army fighting abroad had to be made here.

If it is said that every year's military equipment and firearms are made well, and the money is used on them, and there is no money to repair the yamen, it is all merit, but!

Zhu Cihong did not move, his eyelids pressed slightly, and he slowly walked towards the lobby.

"Master Bi, you're here to find fault, aren't you?"

A sharp voice came out, and it was the voice of a eunuch when I heard it.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to take charge of the War Bureau, I will check the accounts, is there anything wrong?"

Another voice retorted with a little anger, it was Bi Maokang's voice, the voice inside was very loud, like a quarrel, Zhu Cihong listened clearly outside.

"Your Highness said that you will be in charge of the War Bureau, but this War Bureau is the Emperor's Yamen, you can only come to assist in the management and production of weapons, as soon as you get here, check this, check that, what do you want to do?"

the eunuch shouted.

"It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who ordered me to take full charge of the War Bureau, and to reform and manufacture firearms, so I must always know the annual material purchase, output, manufacturing quality, the annual estimated allocation of silver taels, and the details of the use of silver taels, right

?" "Otherwise, how do I employ workers and how do I manufacture firearms, and when His Royal Highness asks, how will he answer?"

Bi Maokang was also angry, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince explained that he would specialize in the development of military firearms.

"You don't need to answer, tell me what firearms you want to make, tell me what you need, and I'll arrange it, but you want to take full control of the war and take the Holy Decree!" the

sharp voice said loudly again.

"You ......!"

said Bi Maokang.

Crunch~

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong frowned, pushed the door open and walked in.

"Minister, Bi Maokang (Slave and Maid Soldier Bureau Palm Seal Kangchun) See His

Royal Highness the Crown Prince Chitose!" "Slaves and maids and others see His Royal Highness the Prince's Chitose!" Bi

Maokang and Kang Chun quarreled inside, and the rest of the stewards and eunuchs were all standing aside, on one side were His Royal Highness the Prince's people, and on the other hand, they were their top bosses, and they really didn't know how to intervene, so they simply stood aside and watched, and neither side was offended anyway.

As soon as everyone saw that the door was pushed open, and saw that the person who came was actually His Royal Highness the Prince, they immediately shut up and saluted one after another.

"Why, without a holy decree, can you even ignore the words of the palace?" Zhu

Cihong walked directly to the main seat of the hall and sat down, looking indifferently at the oily-haired and powdered eunuch Kang Chun below.

"Slave maid don't dare!" As

soon as Kang Chun heard this, his legs that had just gotten up immediately knelt down again, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his words just now were all heard by His Royal Highness.

It's just that the saint let the slave and maid take charge of the war bureau, this is the great grace, the slave and the maid dare not completely hand over this yamen to others without authorization, and the slave and maid also said that Lord Bi can come to manage the war bureau together, this is completely to listen to the will of His Royal Highness, and the slave and maid do not dare to have the slightest intention of disobeying the will, please Your Highness to see.

Zhu Cihong looked at the other party, worthy of being a eunuch who could get palm prints, and when he said this, he didn't know how to convict him for a while.

"Get up.

Zhu Cihong waved his hand, then looked at Bi Maokang again, and said, "Tell me what's going on." In

fact, he heard it outside the question, and he could roughly guess what the situation was, if Bi Maokang wanted to develop military firearms, he must first figure out the financial outflow of the Military War Bureau, so that he could calculate the arrangement of various processes such as labor and materials, and if the money was enough, of course, it was good to ask him for money, and if the accounts could not be seen, how could it be carried out.

Leave it to these eunuchs to do it, it will be cutting corners again, not to mention the quality, and the quantity will not be produced, and there is no such thing as a flint gun, without the guidance of professional people to go one ring by one, how can it be possible to command the manufacturing.

As Kang Chun said, what firearms to make, he will arrange, when the time comes, the finished product will be at most a good-looking version of the inferior arquebus, I am afraid that it will be due to the construction of new firearms, it is possible to ask for more money.

But it was useless for him to hear it outside the door, and he had to say it himself.

"The minister wants to see all the accounts of the War Bureau......

" While speaking, Kang Chun immediately brought a pot of tea with a smile on his face, and said with a low smile: "Your Highness, this is the best Shifeng Longjing, and the slave maid deliberately went to the tea garden in the middle of the night to guard until the early hours of the morning, specializing in picking the buds that have just dewed."

Then, he brought another plate of fruit, and then came behind Zhu Cihong and pressed his shoulder.

Zhu Cihong turned his head and glanced at Kang Chun in surprise, good guy, he was reluctant to kill the other party, look at what he said, look at what he did, look at this sycophant, he is really a person in a high position, he may not be capable, but he will definitely be a man and speak.

Yes, he came to the War Bureau today, specifically to kill people, the eunuch of the War Bureau must die today, otherwise Bi Maokang will not be able to fully control the War Bureau, even if he speaks now that Bi Maokang is fully managed, but he will be secretly stumped by Kang Chun and find a way to make money.

"Well, that's good.

Zhu Cihong picked up the tea, smelled it, took a sip, and immediately felt that this tea was indeed a rare top quality.

"There are slaves and maids, if Your Highness likes it, the slaves and maids are willing to give all of them to Your Highness.

When Kang Chun heard this, he smiled even more happily.

"Moreover, the minister checked the firearms manufactured by the War Bureau, and found that most of them had serious quality problems, and most of them were overused, so I wanted to look at the accounts to see if too much money had been spent!"

Bi Maokang looked at Kang Chun's flattering appearance, and immediately raised his voice a lot, lest His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be coaxed to be happy, and he didn't care about this firearms issue, and then it would be over.

At this time, Bi Maokang finally said what Zhu Cihong wanted to hear, and after waiting for a long time, he thought that he had not discovered these problems.
