Chengyi Bo's family was investigated and the whole family was sent to Qiongzhou, which did not cause much response among the civil officials. After all, civil officials have always looked down on the nobles. Seeing that some nobles were unlucky, some civil officials even applauded everywhere.

But this news shocked a lot in the circle of nobles. In the past, several families that were close to Chengyi Bo Mansion were directly closed. Others were also vigilant and strictly ordered their families to restrain their arrogance, follow the rules, and behave as human beings.

Those victims also received corresponding compensation, and their future lives were somewhat guaranteed.

A few days later, the imperial edict was issued, and the left censor Min Hongxue retired. The left deputy censor Shi Bangyao was promoted to the left censor. The left assistant censor Li Banghua became famous because of his first title and was promoted to the right deputy censor.

It is not a secret that Min Hongxue and Liu Kongzhao have a good relationship, so everyone feels it is right to be dismissed from the position of Zuodu Censor. At this point, the matter of Chengyi Bo Mansion is the final ending.

In July of the eighth year of Chongzhen, the imperial farm led by Liu Chao finally finished farming. The head of the Ministry of Works Construction Department sent by the emperor also brought a few hands to the imperial farm.

During the nearly month of farming, Liu Chao was not idle either. He arranged a few eunuchs from the palace and two yards to take people to purchase chicken and duck seedlings, piglets and grain, etc. He brought some healthy women in the village to build a lot of chicken and duck nests and pigpens. The silver was spent like flowing water, and Liu Chao was both distressed and worried. The emperor left behind 100,000 taels of silver. He had spent more than 30,000 taels of money to buy this and that. The walls and workshops of the village had not yet been built, and he was afraid that the money would not be enough. After the prince blamed him, he became a famous person who was not doing it well.

No matter how sad you are, you can't delay the great affairs of the emperor, right? Liu Chao led his men to pack up dozens of large stoves, bought dozens of large iron pots, and built more than ten stone mills. The production of military rations officially began. After the farming, the young and strong men, who were busy with farming, began to build workshops and walls in a tense and orderly manner, and the entire farm was full of vitality.

Although there were many people in the village, they all had dinner at various families. Now the emperor ordered the construction matter not to be labor-related, but to take care of two meals. This has become a huge problem.

There were about a thousand laborers involved in the construction of the village. Liu Chao ordered people to build dozens of large stoves next to the stove that made military rations. One stove requires at least three village women, and about three hundred peasant women were used for this hundred large stove.

Every day, as soon as the day is dawn, the peasant women start to work, carry water, knead noodles, cook noodles, knead noodles, and then put on huge cages to start steaming. From midnight to noon, large dumplings are filled with coarse bread.

Those half-aged boys and girls used some small stoves to burn mung bean soup. Liu Fengyu specially instructed those who were not allowed to drink raw water, saying that this was what the emperor said.

After the children finished burning, they poured them into wooden buckets and kept them cool. When the cold was almost over, they carried them or carried them to the construction site. It was hot and heavy work, so the human body needed to replenish a lot of water. After sweating, they drank a bowl of warm mung bean soup to relieve heat and thirst.

Zhang Laoer, a butcher in the village, was killing a fat pig about 200 kilograms. After killing the pig, he gave the pork to the peasant woman next to him to cut it into pieces. Wash the pig offal and pork bones and put it in a large pot and add water and salt to boil it. After a while, the meat will be fragrant.

The half-birth boys watching the fun were drooling one by one. Zhang Lao Er, who was covered in flesh, took out a few big bone rods, used a bone-clearing knife to remove the remaining meat on it, then took out a few small bones, put them in a large wooden box, and greeted the boys to eat with a smile. The children were afraid of Zhang Lao Er's fierce and evil face, and wanted to eat but didn't dare to come over. A bold half-birth boy couldn't help but step forward, picked up a bone and bite it. Zhang Lao Er stood aside and laughed. The other children immediately rushed up and started to grab the food.

Zhang Lao Er wiped the sweat with a greasy cloth towel on his shoulder, picked up a bowl of mung bean soup and drank it all, and then wiped his mouth. He felt indescribable comfort in his heart. After living for decades, he was the happiest period of time.

Liu Chao was busy with his heels facing forward. Several eunuchs and two village heads from the palace kept asking for instructions. He felt that he had lived for more than thirty years, and he did not have much more than half a month in total. He returned to his residence to take a shower and finished his meal at night, poured himself on the bed and fell asleep until dawn.

Be busy, but I can’t express the sense of steadfastness and accomplishment in my heart.

He sent a young eunuch who came over to ask for instructions. Liu Chao was about to sit down and rest, when a strong man in casual clothes walked towards him.

Liu Chao felt that he was jealous and was about to speak. The strong man took out a waist sign and shook it at him. Liu Chao was shocked. Jinyiwei! It was still a personal guard beside the emperor! He quickly bowed his hand. Before he could speak, the man winked and signaled him to stop the sound. Then he whispered: "The Holy Lord has arrived in the village. I specially asked me to tell you that this is a patrol. Don't disturb others. Don't let others know the identity of the Holy Lord!"

Liu Chao followed the man to the workshop construction site. From a distance, he saw Zhu Zhenqing dressed in a scholar, Wang Chengen's green hat beside him, dozens of bulging men around him were distributed around him, and his eyes were looking around with vigilant eyes.

He hurriedly trotted to the emperor, and was about to kneel down when he suddenly remembered the guard's instructions, and bowed deeply: "The emperor... the master doesn't say anything beforehand, I'm sorry, I'm not going to welcome you!"

Chongzhen was looking at the built workshop. Hearing this, he turned his head and smiled, "I have been free these days and I have nothing to do at home. I suddenly remembered you here, so I came over to take a look. I did a good job! I didn't expect that in less than a month, I actually looked like it!"

"You can't praise Mr. Huang, it's all the duty of the young man! The young man was afraid of delaying Mr. Huang's big business, so he quickly organized the work as soon as the farm was slack. The workshop had been basically completed, so there were not many people here, so they all went to the construction site on the other side of the wall!" Liu Chao was flattered and replied with a smile.

"How much military rations have been produced? All the chicken and duck seedlings have been released?" Chongzhen asked.

"It's great that Mr. Huang knows that more than 30,000 pieces of military ration have been produced, and they are packed in five kilograms per bag as Mr. Huang ordered. The chicken and duck seedlings have been distributed to each family, with about fifteen chickens and ten duck seedlings in each family," Liu Chao replied.

"Continue to increase the output of military rations. In addition, after the workshop is completed, people will purchase cloth and cotton and start making winter military uniforms. You must not cut corners!" said Chongzhen.

"Please rest assured Mr. Huang, the younger one must take care of it with care," Liu Chao replied quickly.

Then, Chongzhen, accompanied by Liu Chao, came to the greenhouse where the military rations were fried and the fragrance could be smelled from afar.

In the past, the Ming army's military rations were made of rice into dry rice, soaked in hot water when eating. Some troops used skewers with holes in the middle to make it easy to carry. However, the biggest disadvantage of these two types of military rations is that they are single nutrition, not to mention the taste. Soldiers consume a lot of physical energy in combat and marching, and the noodles and rice can provide very little calories. Moreover, even such military rations are often accumulated. Many Ming army officers and soldiers often chase the enemy to fight on hunger. The combat effectiveness and morale can be imagined.

The military rations made in the imperial village combine various grains, and salt, oil and sugar are added, which are nutritious and calories. One pound of such military rations can last a few pounds and are easy to carry. Soldiers just tie a knot intestinal bags on their bodies. Even if each person hangs two bags, the weight of ten pounds will not affect combat and marching. Of course, this is not the original work of Chongzhen. He just copied the experience of a certain army in later generations when they were just growing.

In front of the steaming big pot, a healthy woman was working hard to stir the grain in the pot with wooden shovels, and the aroma was scented. After frying a pot, she shoveled it into the scoop of the next basket with wooden shovels. Then two peasant women who had started to lift it up and put it on the rows of wooden tables on one side. After they cooled, some peasant women put it into the sewn intestine bag. A intestine bag was filled with about five kilograms, and soon a bag of military rations was packed. Then, after it was knotted, a dedicated person was responsible for filling it into the sack.

After reading it, Chongzhen nodded. He didn't understand such things himself, so it probably was.

After seeing the military ration production process, Chongzhen did not go anywhere else, so he walked out of the village and said to Liu Chao: "Tomorrow I will arrange for the Ministry of War to send people to receive military rations. You also need to increase your productivity. Now many of my Ming army are fighting against the enemy hungry. I feel very uncomfortable when I hear this. The officers and soldiers bleed and sacrificed, but often couldn't even have a full meal. This is the court's dereliction of duty and my dereliction of duty. Therefore, you must do your best to produce more, and let all the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty eat delicious military rations as soon as possible! The Ministry of War will take it off immediately after receiving it tomorrow, and first give to Duke Hong and Duke Lu, and then transport the subsequent military rations to the Liaodong line. Everything depends on you!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Huang, I will never delay major issues even if I don't eat or sleep!" Liu Chao said firmly.

"Okay, I believe you, Wang Chengen, go back and say hello to Cao Huachun and promote Liu Chao to the 12th Supervisory Book!"

Liu Chao was the Fengyu, and he was promoted from the sixth rank to the sixth rank to the sixth rank.

Wang Cheng'en agreed.
Chapter completed!
