    When Emperor Hongzhi heard the word silver, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

    "Seventy thousand taels of silver, you will feel very distressed."

    How can I say that I throw away millions of money a year?

    Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: "Oh, this is no small matter. What do you think of this?"

    Liu Jiandao: "Your Majesty, please issue an order immediately to severely punish the relevant people who caused the trouble."

    Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows: "Succession?"

    ??This blueprint was presented by Fang Jifan, wasn't it? Something happened now, and Fang Jifan cannot escape this responsibility.

    Liu Jian smiled and shook his head: "No, Pi Liang, the eunuch who supervises the factory!"

    Xiao Jing, who was beside Emperor Hongzhi, twitched his face. Although he was still smiling, his eyes looked deeply at Liu Jian.

    Liu Jian took time to calm down and said: "There was an explosion in the capital, and it was so close to the imperial city. This is extremely taboo. If the court remains silent, there will be a lot of rumors outside. After all, there are always good people in this world.  Many people don't know what happened, but they will feel panic, and all kinds of terrible rumors will spread. Therefore, if you want to appease people's hearts, you must let the world know that it turns out that someone has neglected management and the court is strict.  Only by reprimanding and punishing the eunuchs in charge of the factory can people believe that this is really just a small matter. The original intention of this move is to appease people's hearts."

    Emperor Hongzhi thought about it, and it made sense, but he immediately sighed: "Liu Qing is planning for the country. However, it is obvious that there is a problem with the blueprint, how can you punish someone who has nothing to do with it? Let's think about this matter again."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? back

    When this question was raised, the ministers did not take it seriously.

    Fang Jifan has done a lot of things that benefit the country and the people recently. Now the scholars outside are not as harsh as before.

    So after hearing this, many people came to support Fang Jifan, especially Wang Ao, who said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Captain Fang is an upright and responsible man, but he has always been meticulous in doing things. However, people are still human after all.  Besides, he is still a young man, so even if he makes some omissions occasionally, it is normal."

    ????????????????????????????????????????????

    ?? Emperor Hongzhi said that it is rare to hear someone say this to Fang Jifan: "I'd better ask clearly. Who is coming summon Fang Jifan to come, oh, and Ma Wensheng, the Minister of War."

    Fang Jifan had already noticed the explosion in Wang Gong Factory, and the noise was really big, so he thought that His Majesty might summon him, and he had been waiting for it for a long time. When someone came from the palace, he set off immediately.

    When we arrived at Nuange, we saw Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jian, Ma Wensheng, Wang Ao and others there.

    Fang Jifan then saluted: "I have seen your Majesty."

    Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hands, but looked at Ma Wensheng: "Ma Qing's family, please continue."

    I thought Ma Wensheng would come first, so I was reporting the results of his investigation from Wang Gong Factory.

    Ma Wensheng glanced at Fang Jifan. He was known as a gentleman. Although he had been scolded a lot recently, he was still very upright.

    It's okay if he doesn't have the confidence, but this time, the problem lies in the drawings, so he has to speak up: "So, the old minister summoned the craftsmen from all over the Wang Gong Factory to investigate carefully. After the craftsmen analyzed the results, they all  He said that when they first looked at this drawing, they felt that there were huge discrepancies. For example, the thickness of the gun barrel was not enough, and they had to be carved into the barrel, which made the barrel thin. Not only that, the barrel was longer.  Once the gunpowder appears in the barrel and explodes, the power is blocked there and cannot get out for a while, and eventually explodes. When this cannon was first cast, there were actually many old craftsmen. At first, after looking at the drawings, they felt that there was something wrong.  The problem is, the pressure from above is so strong that they dare not speak out, which leads to this disaster."

    Ma Wensheng said this: "I have no intention of blaming the prince-in-law, but I have specialization in the art industry. When it comes to making weapons, you must not be imaginative. Fortunately, this time I only hurt people, and the movement was not big enough.  If these cannons are manufactured and sent to the border town, it will cost manpower and material resources, and cause casualties to the soldiers in the border town, this will be a huge disaster."

    Emperor Hongzhi nodded with a straight face.

    Ma Wensheng was in a bad mood. When he saw Fang Jifan standing by, he said, "Captain, I am a bit straightforward in what I say. Don't take it to heart."

    Fang Jifan opened his mouth to speak.

    Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hands: "Successoryou must remember the lesson of this time."

    "What?" Fang Jifan was a little confused.

    &nbspSatisfied.

    Was Xishan built?  Doesn't this mean that there is something wrong with Wang Gong Factory?  Such a huge organization is not as good as a small Xishan. Xishan knows everything about making cannons, but they can make them. So what is Wang Gong Factory?

    This is not just to say that Wang Gong Factory has no technical strength.

    What¡¯s even more frightening is that if you think about it more deeply, is it a matter of lack of technical strength?  This may involve fraud and the terrible problem of overstaffing.

    Ma Wensheng looked at Fang Jifan: "Captain Fang, please don't joke."

    Fang Jifan said with an innocent face: "If you don't believe it, you can go to Xishan and have a look. Otherwise, I will have someone carry it to the palace and let it try with a cannon."

    ""

    "Everyone is speechless. Come here and give it a try. I can't beat you to death!"

    Ma Wensheng narrowed his eyes: "Your Majesty, what Fang Jifan said is really heart-breaking. Everyone in Wang Gongchang has done their best, and I am the Minister of the Ministry of War. They all see it. But now that Fang Jifan said this,  It seems that Wang Gongchang is too busy with work"

    Emperor Hongzhi naturally understood what Ma Wensheng meant. He said casually: "Have the British Duke returned to Beijing? I am counting the days. He should come back from Nanjing to offer sacrifices. If he comes back, I will order him to go to Xishan. Seeing is believing."  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
