I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

The importance of the new Ministry of Communications is also not small, at least more important than the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War.

Especially now that roads are being rebuilt all over the country, and the streets in big cities are being paved with cement or cinder.

Some official roads are also being expanded and paved with sand.

More importantly, of course, is the railway. Now the Jingsong Line has been repaired for more than half, and the whole line will be open to traffic soon.

And this route has not been completed, and several other routes have been put on the desk, and plans have been started.

Shanghai to Hangzhou, Nanjing to Jiujiang, and Nanjing to Beijing.

These are the three routes currently planned, and these routes are of great significance to Dahua.

In particular, the route from Nanjing to Beijing, with this railway, can greatly strengthen the central government's control over the north.

After this railway is built, it is even possible to cut some more troops.

Because troops can be deployed quickly, there is no need to garrison troops in some central cities, and it is enough to keep some police officers to maintain law and order.

In case someone rebels, the army gets on the train, arrives in a day or two, and quells the rebellion in minutes.

Don't worry anymore. Like before, it took months for a place to go from a rebellion to the arrival of the imperial army.

After the traffic developed, the difficulty of local rebellion increased dozens of times directly.

People in the DPRK and China can see the importance of the Ministry of Communications, and the position of this minister naturally caused competition.

The Ministry of Industry was split, but Ruan Dacheng did not respond.

He who is familiar with history books knows that the emperors of all dynasties will find ways to strengthen the centralization of power. This is a normal thing.

If you don't have enough patience, don't resist.

Like Hu Weiyong who doesn't know how to advance and retreat, and wants to play with the hero Zhu Yuanzhang, the end will naturally not be much better.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang also abolished the prime minister and took over the power.

In Ruan Dacheng's view, Wu Changqing was more terrifying and unfathomable than Zhu Yuanzhang.

All the means seem to be gentle, but the people below cannot find the opportunity to resist.

Ruan Dacheng thought that his talent was inferior to Wu Changqing, so he didn't want to and didn't dare to resist for that little bit of power.

Just split it up, even if it is demoted now, he can accept it.

With such a mentality, Ruan Dacheng naturally would not have any reaction to Wu Changqing's splitting of the Ministry of Industry.

And Ruan Dacheng did not participate in the battle of the Ministry of Communications.

Zhang Guoxi, the former right servant of the Ministry of Works, had a good relationship with him. He asked Ruan Dacheng to help him recommend it to the emperor, but Ruan Dacheng did not agree.

Zhang Guoxi was surprised, he thought Ruan Dacheng would support him to compete with Dai Li, because Dai Li was a member of the Donglin Party and Ruan Dacheng's nemesis.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Dacheng refused decisively.

Ruan Dacheng has experienced some discomfort in his body recently, and he has taken light on many things.

Ruan Dacheng did not participate, but the battle for the Minister of Communications was still fierce.

There are as many as five people competing for this position alone.

Among them, the most competitive ones are Dai Li and Zhang Guoxi, the former left servant of the Ministry of Works.

Both of them were originally from the Ministry of Industry, and their superiors were also professional counterparts.

Budget disputes, Ministry of Communications disputes, civil and military disputes, sea and land disputes, north-south disputes...

In a large empire with a population of nearly 100 million, the number of bad things that happen every day is unimaginable.

Many things, Wu Changqing can only open one eye and close one eye. If he had to take care of it, he wouldn't even have time to eat.

Any battle, as long as it doesn't hurt the foundation of the empire, is what officials toss him.

And he prefers to put these on entertainment, and doesn't want to worry about it.

In the harem, Wu Changqing is exercising with several concubines and wives.

play badminton.

Play majiang.

Before he became emperor, he believed 100% that dealing with government affairs was more fun than playing badminton.

But after being the emperor for two years, he sometimes prefers to play badminton or mahjong.

"Come on, whoever of you can win the most money today will be able to take care of me tonight. The principal of each person is one hundred taels, and those who have lost all leave the game."

Wu Changqing laughed and said, although it is absurd, it is very interesting.

Absurdity itself is unbridled, freewheeling indulgence.

In front of these women, Wu Changqing often doesn't have to disguise, and can reveal his true nature very easily.

When a few concubines heard it, they deserved it, they had to win.

Every sleepover is an opportunity to conceive, which must be seized.

Taking advantage of the fact that the emperor's women are still few, do not seize the opportunity to get pregnant, it will be difficult in the future.

It is said that some goddamn ministers also made suggestions to the emperor that they want to conduct drafts in the whole world, which is really hateful.

"I'll come first."

A few concubines took the seat first, and those who didn't grab the seat could only wait patiently.

Miao Ping, Guo Xiang and Dong Qiaoer were the first to play.

Dong Qiaoer was originally a palace maid, but she was also very beautiful. Wu Changqing did it on a whim.

The women in the entire harem belonged to him, and he could do whatever he wanted, there was no problem at all.

Dong Qiao'er also turned the pheasant into a phoenix and became the emperor's woman, but there was no title for the time being.

She is still very insecure now, because her beauty is not amazing, and she can't compare with Guo Xiang, Miaoping and others.

A woman who can become an emperor, pure

Purely by accident.

When Wu Changqing's freshness wears off, she may be permanently forgotten.

The beautiful girl who has fallen out of favor will have a hard time in the future.

Therefore, she now needs to squeeze Wu Changqing a few more times while she is still pampered.

Only by being pregnant with a dragon seed and leaving a child, can there be security and spiritual sustenance in the future.

Miao Ping and Guo Xiang don't have to worry about falling out of favor. With their age and appearance, they can at least stay in favor for another seven or eight years.

However, being able to conceive a dragon seed as soon as possible is also a good thing for them.

Therefore, they are also quite active when they compete for positions.

Unlike Sun Yunxuan, who is addicted to creation, she doesn't care about this at all, and she doesn't fit in with other concubines.

At the beginning of the poker game, the more concerned about winning and losing, the less calm and impatient people tend to be. When drawing cards, you can't help but change cards.

As a result, sometimes it can be replaced right, and sometimes it will be wrong.

Today, Dong Qiaoer's luck is not very good.

If this is fighting other people, she should lose her temper.

But Wu Changqing was there, no matter how depressed and annoyed she was, she could endure it first.

When she was forced to leave the stage after losing that little money, she could only find a place by herself and quietly wipe away her tears.

The one who made up was Yang Xiaoxiao, she played cards with a very Buddha nature, and she played casually. But she couldn't hold back her luck, one after another.

She didn't listen to three, six or nine wrists.

The Empress, who was watching the battle, said that she couldn't understand her style of play.

"So, I summed up the mahjong skills of several months, all wrong?"

Chen Yuyan snorted, this appearance made Wu Changqing laugh.

In Mahjong, luck is far more important than card skills.
