If Zhu Cihong wants to achieve great things, he must grasp the military situation. He turned back to Hu Bao and said:

"Hu Bao, I will give you 200,000 taels of silver and a decree to appoint you as the eunuch of the Military War Bureau and Anmin Factory. You must fully support Zhao Yuanhua. The rifled gun and Mini bullet must be manufactured within two months. If there are not enough manpower, you can

Recruit craftsmen from various health stations."

Zhu Cixiang gave Zhao Yuanhua the process drawings for making rifled mini bullets and the development drawings for rifling broaching machines.

"As you command!"

Hu Bao accepted the order, then reluctantly took off the AK47 and handed it to Yue Yang:

"Our family will no longer be able to use this magical weapon. You must protect me well."

Yue Yang knew that the magical weapon in Hu Bao's hand was powerful, but Zhu Cihong didn't say anything. He didn't reach out to take it. Instead, he looked at Zhu Cihong. When he saw Zhu Cihong nodded, he took the ak47:

"Thank you, Eunuch Hu!"

After receiving the order, Huang Degong immediately led his men to pull the used firearms into the war.

When he saw the bodies of two eunuchs wearing python robes lying on the ground, Huang Degong was in awe again:

"Oh my god, the crown prince actually killed the eunuch who was in charge of the military battle bureau? This is too fierce..."

Don't underestimate the two eunuchs of the War Bureau. In the Ming Dynasty, no one except Emperor Chongzhen would dare to touch them. This is why Huang Degong admired Zhu Cixiang.

Seeing Huang Degong and others coming in, Zhu Cixiang pointed at the defective firearms on the carriage and said sternly to the craftsmen:

"Look at these defective firearms. They are all made by the War Bureau and you. From today on, all firearms and military equipment will never allow such problems to occur again, otherwise they will be killed without mercy!"

Of course the craftsmen knew that there were problems with the firearms they had made. The Crown Prince’s words scared them to the point where they knelt down and kowtowed again. Zhao Yuanhua stepped forward and bowed:

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I promise that similar problems will never happen again!"

Zhu Cixi nodded:

"I hope so. In the future, no one can take away a firearm from the War Bureau without my order. Go and see how many firearms are of good quality and ask Huang Degong to take them back to Yongwei Camp."

"Follow your orders"

When Huang Degong heard that the Crown Prince had replenished the firearms for Yongwei Camp, he immediately stepped forward to salute and thank him:

"Thank you, Crown Prince!"

Zhu Cihong waved his hand to excuse everyone, and then told Hu Bao:

"Hu Bao, please calculate how much the craftsmen are owed in salary. Go to Zhongcui Palace tomorrow to get the money to make up for them all. In addition, give each of them one tael of silver per month. From now on, the full amount will be paid every month."

If you want a horse to run fast, you need to let it have grass to eat. Zhu Cihong certainly understands this simple truth.

It’s been a long time since the craftsmen of the Bingzhan Bureau received their salaries in full. They themselves can’t remember clearly. In the past two years, they have been at most a few hundred cash per month, barely surviving on two meals a day, and some of the craftsmen’s families have starved to death.

Not only did the crown prince pay the money in full and on time, he also added one tael of silver, which was such a kindness that they could not even dream of.

Zhu Cixiang's decision instantly won the hearts of all the craftsmen, and they knelt down and kowtowed again to express gratitude:

"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness, the Crown Prince may live a thousand years longer!"

After rectifying the war situation, Zhu Cixiang was ready to return to Zhongcui Palace. Before he walked out of the gate, the system prompt sounded again:

"Ding, would you like to ask if the host has signed in to the war battle bureau?"

Zhu Cixiang was stunned:

"The system can only sign in once a day, right? Why do you have to sign in again?"

"Ding, the check-in function of this system is not to sign in every day, but to sign in randomly according to the new location of the host!"

Zhu Cixiang was overjoyed when he heard this. It is definitely better to sign in at a different location than to sign in every day, so that you can sign in multiple times a day.

However, this kind of sign-in also has some shortcomings. If Zhu Cixiang stays in the palace every day and cannot sign in without leaving the palace, he will be forced to run around!

"Sign in"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting 500 rifled guns and 100,000 rounds of Mini bullets."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting two hundred grenades and twenty telescopes!"

The reward for signing in at the Battle of War is Zhu Cixiang’s most generous sign-in reward besides the novice gift package.

Not only were grenades and binoculars provided, but five hundred rifled guns were also awarded.

Zhu Cixiang was overjoyed when he heard this. He guessed that the corrupt eunuchs of the Killing and War Bureau might have some influence on the reward.

There are so many rifled guns today that if this continues, the entire East Palace Guard will soon be equipped.

Zhu Cixiang did not stay too long at the military battle, and led the guards to walk around the streets of the capital for most of the war.

He wanted to see if the capital of the Ming Dynasty was as prosperous and lively as in later generations.

However, the scene in front of him made Zhu Cixiang feel very heavy. Refugees begging for food could be seen everywhere on the streets of the capital.

All of them were in ragged clothes, had yellow faces and thin muscles, and many of them were swaying when they walked, clearly lacking strength.

Not only were there homeless people on the street, but horse manure and garbage could be seen everywhere. It was very dirty and messy. When walking on the street, you could smell an unpleasant smell, which made Zhu Cixiang frown.

When they came to Bell and Drum Tower Street, they found that there were significantly fewer refugees here. Most of them were wealthy businessmen and officials from the capital, and they were shopping.

These people are all well-dressed, white and fat, which is in sharp contrast to the refugees in other places.

"Yue Yang asked someone to ask why there are so few refugees here? Isn't it easier to beg for food here?"

"yes"

Yue Yang agreed, immediately walked to an old man on the roadside and asked:

"Excuse me, father-in-law, why are there so few refugees here?"

When the old man saw that the person asking the question was Jin Yiwei, he hurriedly answered:

"My lord, I heard that the refugees are controlled by the Five Cities Military and Horse Division within a certain area. They are not allowed to go to the places where wealthy businessmen and officials live."

Yue Yang thanked the old man and then reported the matter to Zhu Cihong. Zhu Cihong was furious when he heard this:

"Asshole, it's true that refugees have something to do with natural disasters. Don't these corrupt officials have any responsibility? Not only do they not help the refugees, they actually prohibit them from interfering with his eating, drinking and having fun!"

The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were really shameless. They deceived Chongzhen into canceling commercial taxes and increasing farmers' three wages, which meant that the rich did not pay taxes. The Ming Dynasty taxes and three wages were all placed on the heads of the poor people.

The people do not have enough to eat, and they will not be able to survive in the event of a major natural disaster, let alone pay so many taxes.

In order not to starve to death, many people took refuge in the bandits, which was also the main reason why more and more bandits were suppressed.

Not in the mood to continue shopping, Zhu Cixiang was about to return to the palace. He said to Zhou Yuji:

"General Zhou, you will lead the guards directly to the Long Live Mountain for training and garrisoning. The main training is physical fitness, three-stage attack and horseback shooting. You must be strict with the requirements. If you are unable to persist in the training, you will return to the Yongwei Camp to be replaced."

"yes!"

"Yue Yang, leave ten people to protect Zhongcuigong, and the others will train with Zhou Yuji's guards!"

"yes!"

The one hundred people under Yue Yang's command were all elites selected from the Jinyi Guards, and they would be Zhu Cizhong's real personal guards from now on.

The thousand men led by Zhou Yuji will go to the battlefield in the future, and Zhu Cixiang has high expectations for them.

Knowing that Zhou Yuji had strict military regulations, Zhu Cixiang decided to let them train together.

Wenfu

At this time, the Wen Mansion was very lively, and Wen Tiren's younger brothers almost gathered here to discuss what had happened in the past few days in the supervision of the Crown Prince.

"Mr. Ge, all the people we arranged in Jinyiwei have been cleared out by Li Ruolian. You have to find a way..."

Before Wen Tiren could speak, his butler suddenly came in hurriedly and reported:

"Lao Ge, the eunuch who was in charge of the military affairs bureau was killed, and his mansion was also confiscated..."
