To Zhu Houyi, he only provided a big idea. As for how to develop it, it was up to the Minister of Works, Yu Li Chao, and the craftsmen.
As an emperor, as long as he could reward and punish clearly, he would be dignified.
Zhu Houzhen was very willing to spend money on the Empire's technological innovation.
However, Zhu Houyi would not tolerate mediocre, incompetent, and perfunctory people. Once he found them, he would kick them out of the Ministry of Works and never hire them again.
After the Minister of Works left Yangxin Palace Hall, his heart was pounding. He was worried that the Emperor had given him so much money to develop new cannons. If there were no results, how would he explain it to the Emperor?
As he thought of this, his forehead began to sweat. He kept wiping his forehead with a handkerchief along the way…
At this time, Zhu Houyi was sitting on the Dragon's desk, reviewing Qi Jiguang's memorial.
"Minister Qi, I already know what happened in this battle. Although there are some shortcomings, the victor will not be condemned. I have already issued an order for the Ministry of Works to develop new cannons and shells.”
"In addition, quickly send a Flang Machine Gun to the Ministry of Works. We should absorb the strengths of the Hong Barbarians 'firearms so that we can better attack the Hong Barbarians.”
" Edict beloved minister to continue training the navy, patrol the empire's seas, fight pirates, and protect the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty…"

After approving Qi Jiguang's memorial, Zhu Houzhen reviewed the memorial about the provincial examination submitted by the cabinet.
The provincial examination had already ended. Out of the one million Elementary Scholars, three thousand had passed the examination. Most of the Elementary Scholars would be eliminated and would take the examination again three years later.
Wang Yangming was in charge of the imperial examinations. This was the result of a compromise between the various forces in the court, and it was also the result of Zhu Houzhen's authority as an emperor.
As the emperor, he would only intervene in the imperial examinations during the final court examinations and personally select the top scorer and the second-ranked beauty.
The empire was huge, and the emperor could not interfere in everything. He would be exhausted and vomit blood.
Being good at discovering and using talents was one of the quintessence of the Imperial Technique.
There were so many things in the empire that required the cooperation of the monarch and his subjects. Even if Zhu Houyi was extremely capable, he couldn't do everything himself…
Zhu Houjian was already busy enough every day. He decided on major matters, and there were too many major matters in the empire. The cabinet did not dare to overstep their authority in making decisions, so Zhu Houjian was the final decision-maker.
After Zhu Houjian issued the imperial edict to develop the navy, the empire's national strength began to display its enormous power. Those who signed up to become sailors were very enthusiastic.
Some people who were good at fighting were discovered one after another, and among them was a famous general like Yu Dayou!
The sea from the East Ocean to the South Ocean was already under the control of the Ming Empire.
After reading all the memorials, Zhu Houzhen went to the Warm Spring Pavilion in the imperial garden to admire the plum blossoms in the snow.
Snowflakes fell from the sky, soft and silent, quietly decorating the Ming Dynasty.
Just as Zhu Houyi was drinking and admiring the plum blossoms, Cao Zhengchun returned.
Cao Zhengchun led 2,000 Brocade Guards and did not stop at all along the way, escorting Liao King Zhu Haoyu and his women.
Rebellion is treason and heresy, and nine families should be executed.
However, Zhu Hao Xi was a member of the royal family, so he could only exterminate his clan.
"I am Cao Zhengchun. Greetings, Your Majesty.”Cao Zhengchun, dressed in a red and black brocade robe, bowed to Zhu Houyou.
"Stand up. There's no need to report in a hurry. Come, have a drink.”
Zhu Houjin waved his hand at Cao Zhengchun, ordering him not to rush to discuss the mission of the trip to the south.
"I don't dare!"
In Cao Zhengchun's eyes, the Emperor was mysterious and unfathomable, and he was just a hawk hound. How could a hawk hound have the right to drink the Emperor's wine?
"Drink, don't be too reserved. This one is asking you to drink because it's an edict.”Zhu Houjin said with a smile.
Boom…Cao Zhengchun was so scared that his face turned pale.
"This lowly one is terrified and would never dare to disobey the decree.”
After the eunuch handed the cup to Cao Zhengchun, Cao Zhengchun only pursed his lips and tasted it slowly, not daring to make a sound…
"This lowly one thanks the emperor for the wine!"
Zhu Houjin smiled. He had already tested Cao Zhengchun's fear.
If you want to raise it, you should first suppress it, then raise it and suppress it, and there will be suppression in the middle of the rise…This is the art of controlling the emperor.
Would the emperor reward or punish those who played this kind of imperial technique to perfection?
As a subject, he was always unpredictable!
If it was easily guessed by the officials, the emperor's authority would be weakened.
After drinking a cup of wine, Zhu Houzhen ordered the eunuch to remove the cup and said to Cao Zhengchun,"
"The evidence of Liao King Zhu Hao's rebellion is already conclusive. Go back and hand the evidence to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will take the lead and hold a joint hearing with the Ministry of Justice and the Imperial Censor of the Left.”
"Your Majesty, where should Zhu Hao Xin be escorted? Imperial Clan Court or Imperial Jail?"
"Zhu Hao is not worthy of entering the Imperial Clan Court and the Imperial Jail. Take him to the prison of the Ministry of Justice!”
"This lowly one obeys the decree!"
Cao Zhengchun understood that the Emperor had already demoted Zhu Haoyu to a commoner and was going to interrogate him as a commoner.
In this case, many punishments were applicable.
"You can rest well for a period of time. Zhen will reward you according to your merits.”
Zhu Houjin waved his hand, and Cao Zhengchun bowed before leaving the Warm Spring Pavilion.
Seeing the respectful Cao Zhengchun's expression as he retreated, he realized that Cao Zhengchun was ruthless, had high martial arts skills, and was loyal to him.
As the supervisor of the East Military Department, the East Military Department played a bigger role in his hands than Huang Jin and Qian Ning.
