Chapter 60 The dust in the south of the Ming River is settled, and the dust enters the WTO and follows fate
Time flies, time flies. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info It's been a few years. The big drama performed by Li Weigong when he was leaving really made the Jinling Military Department and the yamen of various ministries, and even the military attachés and colleagues have a big black pot on their backs.
Officialdom can never be monolithic, and if it is, it means that the emperor is really incompetent and ignorant, and the end of this dynasty is definitely not far away. For example, in the original history, Emperor Ming Mao Xiaolie should have appeared a hundred years later.
The scandal under the city of Jinling cannot be covered up no matter what, and thousands of people are watching it under the city wall! And if you look so ugly, don't complain about being beaten as the current "Qin Yu".
As for Li Weigong leading the army to kill the common people, gentry, and even officials. In the face of the great achievement of defeating the Japanese and preserving Jinling, what is the gain?
Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao finally found an opportunity to move the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Ming expedition to the Western Regions can be described as a great boost to the country's prestige. More importantly, after the Western Regions were in hand, the strategic encirclement of the Mongolian Plateau was formed.
The Mongols are already showing signs of loosening, and there is a possibility that they will come to bow down. Under the great victory in the north, Zhu Houzhao naturally couldn't tolerate the Jiangnan Japanese Kou to run rampant in the land of the Ming Dynasty anymore. The plague of the Ming Dynasty not only threatened the main source of wealth of the Ming Dynasty, but also made the Ming lose face. Several times Emperor Zhengde had the intention of sending border troops south. However, Jiangnan officialdom and the local gentry desperately opposed it.
Without the cooperation of the gentry in Jiangnan, Emperor Zhengde also knew that no matter how many border troops he sent south, he would not be able to move an inch, and he was more likely to encounter a catastrophe.
It's just that the gentry in Jiangnan really would rather their hometown be plagued by the Japanese than the border army of the Ming Dynasty?
Zhu Houzhao, the Zhengde Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is not the last wonderful emperor Ming Sizong Zhu Youzhen, he is not so stupid, to abolish the three factories and one guard, and abandon his martial arts at the mercy of others. Zhu Houzhao has his own sources of intelligence. Naturally, you know what's going on here.
However, there are too many gentry in Jiangnan who have anything to do with maritime merchants, and their influence is too great. Zhu Houzhao is determined, but there is nothing to do.
Who knew that God (Lichen) would help so much, and if he wanted to fall asleep, he sent a pillow. The next farce in Jinling City finally allowed Zhu Houzhao to find an excuse to meddle in Jiangnan, and also found an opportunity to divide and attack the impermeable network of maritime merchants in Jiangnan.
Only three days after the incident came out, Wei Guogong led a large army to rumble into Jinling City. After taking over the defense of Jinling, he was immediately ordered to take over all the military power of Jinling.
Speaking of which, Wei Guogong himself is a part of the Jiangnan relationship network, and the interests of the maritime merchants are naturally indispensable to him, and it is still a large share. It's just that this time Wei Guogong himself is just a link under the command of Zhu Houzhao, how can he forcibly change the result of the emperor's disposal of Jiangnan.
As soon as Wei Guogong returned to Jinling, he first ordered his family to cut off all contact with the maritime merchants, but stayed in the barracks and did not go anywhere.
After returning to Jinling for a few days, there was an endless stream of officials who came to visit, and Wei Guogong was stunned and saw none of them.
Wei Guogong's actions are not without deep meaning, which is to clearly tell the officials and gentry in Jiangnan to make a decision early.
Until now, it only depends on how the officials and gentry in Jiangnan choose themselves.
After another three days, a "investigation team" composed of the Dali Temple, the Supervision of the Imperial History, and the Criminal Department, the Military Department, the Rite Department, and the Ministry of Officials entered Jinling with the emperor's decree and the "investigation team" authorized by the cabinet. ”
Dali Temple is responsible for hearing cases of collusion between gentry officials and maritime merchants, supervising the imperial history is responsible for impeaching lawlessness, the Criminal Department is responsible for trying ordinary criminals, and the military department is to sort out whether the military attachés of the Ming Dynasty have dereliction of duty, dereliction of duty and even collusion with the Japanese. The Ministry of Rites came with the purpose of reducing the fame of the gentry in Jiangnan, and as for the Ministry of Officials, it was natural to pull out the turnips, and then consider which new officials to find to fill the hole.
None of the officials who came to Jinling were officials from Jiangnan, and Emperor Zhengde integrated the contradictions of interests before sending this team - the provinces of the Ming Dynasty and the dispute between the north and the south. It is clear that it is to clean the Jiangnan officialdom.
For a time, the officialdom in Jiangnan was full of rumors and mourning. The gentry class in Jiangnan was dealt a heavy blow, and the military attachés of the Jiangnan guard were also dismissed from their posts in large numbers.
After this purge, the Ming court's control over Jiangnan was unprecedentedly strengthened. For a time, Jiangnan's voice in the Ming court was unprecedentedly low, and it could no longer stop the imperial court's plan to send armaments to Jiangnan.
At least in the past few years, the trouble of the Japanese in the south of the Ming River has been greatly reduced, but in order to truly eliminate the problem of the Japanese invaders, it is necessary to wait for the construction of the Ming Dynasty's maritime division, and also wait for the situation in Japan to change. If we do not solve the problem fundamentally, we will not be able to eliminate the scourge of the Japanese pirates only on land.
This is understood, Zhu Houzhao understands, and the princes of the imperial court naturally understand that for a while, whether to establish a Ming Dynasty naval division or not is in trouble.
The reason is money, the Ming court really can't come up with such a huge amount of expenditure now, and the Ming Dynasty has banned the sea for a hundred years, and the boat master does not say that it can be built. From the craftsmen who built the ship, to the selection of sailors, to the mountains and seas of silver that need to be spent. It has become a reason for the maritime merchants to fight and desperately oppose the opening of the sea.
Zhu Houzhao was resolute, and the courtiers were also divided into two factions, and the two sides fought fiercely.
But at least, Zhu Houzhao divided the ministers, and opened the sea and commerce to achieve a phased result.
That is, the ministers finally ceased to oppose it unanimously. Even after a few years, the court still hasn't argued for a result, but at least there are voices of support.
It is believed that after Zhu Houzhao has accumulated enough strength and financial resources, the establishment of the Ming Navy will already be visible.
The disturbances of the imperial court could not disturb the idle days of dust.
In the past, when the master of the dust was still there, the Xuanguang Temple was the home of the dust, but after the master passed away, the Xuanguang Temple was just a place for the dust to live.
A home is more than just a house, what is a home without a family?
There are apprentices and caves. But that's not home. At most, it can be regarded as a place of cultivation for the dust.
It has been many years since I felt at home.
It wasn't until two little guys were added to Jinling's home that Lichen finally felt like home again.
Zhu Zaikai had to get up in a hurry every morning and rush to school. The little girl had to watch Zhu Zaikai go out with tears in her eyes every day, and then she would go back to the mansion and follow the Xixi invited by Chen to learn things.
The dust can not care about the little girl's three from the four virtues, embroidery red. But why don't the schools accept girls! So Zhu Zaikai can go to the school, and the little girl can only go to school at home.
Xiaoyu and Xiaozhou, the two dusty creditors, have also grown up day by day. From the time they began to babble, to the beginning of toddlers with fat short legs. And then this pair of twin siblings can open up to each other at any time on the bed, on the floor, and at the dinner table. Lichen finally made up for the life experience of both lifetimes.
The experience of being a master is definitely different from being a father. Teachers, but also preach and teach. The father, on the other hand, is more particular about raising adults.
At the realm of the present world, cultivation and meditation are better than nothing. Except for returning to Kunwu again, or creating a real cave blessed land, Lichen can no longer see the possibility of cultivating and progressing again.
Now the dust pays more attention to the polishing of the state of mind, from the red dust, to the red dust. Lichen tried his best to forget that he was a cultivator, and tried his best to immerse himself in the role of an ordinary person.
Lichen originally thought that the creditor sisters would be reincarnated as a pair of sisters to find him, but he didn't expect it to be a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.
Xiaozhou, who turned into a man, is the second sister, maybe she is on the bank of the Santu River, and she has let go of everything before reincarnation, so she will be reincarnated as a boy.
And Xiaoyu is the third sister, she has never let go, and she is still a girl in this life. It's just that I don't know how God wants to end this cause and effect under the entanglement of the old world.
Lichen recognized the brother and sister as adopted children early, just hoping to add a weight to the brother and sister so that they would not make waves again. Then be happy and enjoy the journey of this life in peace.
Jinling in June is simply a furnace, and the dust is cold and hot, but a few little guys can't stand it. After begging for several days, Lichen finally agreed to go to Zhuangzi with the whole family to escape the summer.
Lichen bought a manor near Tianping Mountain in Suzhou. Lichen didn't want the little guys he taught to be a young master and lady of an official family who didn't know what to do. So for a few months every year, I would take my children to the manor to experience the life of a farmer and learn about the hardships of small farmers.
In particular, Zhu Zaikai, only when he has seen everything about the peasants with his own eyes will he know how to ensure the stability of the Daming countryside and what the peasants really need.
After all, the Ming Dynasty was a rural society, and peasants accounted for at least eighty percent of the world's population. If the peasants are safe, the world will be safe, and if the peasants are opposed, the world will be restless.
But it seems that the little ones all regard the painstaking work of the dust as a game, and they seem to prefer the unrestrainedness of the manor to the people of Jinling.
Lichen went to the manor this time, and brought the old housekeeper with him by the way. The old housekeeper was old, so he asked his son to take over the lack of a housekeeper and let the old housekeeper take care of himself. It's just that the old housekeeper is used to being busy, and he is not used to it when he is idle, and there is no housewife at home, so he is not used to trivial matters. The old housekeeper automatically helped the dust pipe to the inner courtyard.
The old housekeeper doesn't have much longevity, and he knows this. But forcibly changing one's life is not such a fun thing. A person who has attained the Tao of the chicken and dog ascends to heaven is nothing more than a fabrication by the world after all. If it is so easy, how many immortals should there be in the world?
The carriage traveled all the way south and soon arrived at the foot of Tianping Mountain. It is not far from Suzhou, but it is also a place where a large number of literati have been left behind. There are strange stones, clear springs, and red maples. Of course, there are also thousands of victories. It's just that the mountains are too small, but they are too scattered, which can nourish the culture, but it is difficult for everyone.
With the feng shui attainments of dust, he naturally chose an excellent place as the location of the courtyard early. Although Lichen and Zhu Zaikai definitely don't need the feng shui fortune here. But Xiaozhou is a boy. With the blessing of the culture here, and with Zhu Zaikai's deliberate care in the future, Xiaozhou's career in the future will not be bad.
Xiaoyu and Xiaozhou are siblings, Xiaozhou has a chance, and Xiaoyu's happiness has confidence.
Under the inconvenience of dust and not deliberately interfering with fate, dust also has to lay the best reason for the small fishing boat to go first.
The Tibetan wind gathers qi, and the mountains and rivers are the minimum elements of a feng shui place. As for whether it is really a blessed land, see if it is warm in winter and cool in summer. Yang house feng shui is also a way of home, under the balance of yin and yang, it will rarely make people uncomfortable.
The carriage arrived at the manor, and the head of the village, who got the news, had already taken a large number of villagers to greet him at the entrance of the village. Since Lichen bought the manor, the villagers' rents have been reduced immediately. Later, he took Zhu Zai Kai to formulate a plan for a rich village. For example, raising ducks at home and underwriting them at home. For example, we encourage the planting of fruit trees, and we also buy all of them.
In a few years, Zhuangzi became rich at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he was proud of the surrounding towns. After the final settlement of the account, after Lichen bought the manor, the annual income did not decrease, but increased. The villagers, however, did get the benefits.
The way of management and the way of governing the country are inherently the same. Even if Zhu Zai couldn't figure out why, Lichen didn't explain it. All of this has to wait for Zhu Zaikai to find answers when he grows up.
Only by finding the answer by himself can he have a deeper understanding and understanding. Then you can confidently say that the spit is thrown on the sour face of the "group of people who have a certain amount of wealth in the world".
The villagers have received tangible benefits, and they will naturally return to the main family. Zhuangzi is prosperous, and it will naturally bring a great reputation and benefits to the main family. It's a win-win situation.
As soon as their carriage entered the manor, the enthusiasm of the villagers was known.
Zhu Zai has a few friends in Zhuangzi. As the young master of the main family, he does not have much consciousness of the young master of the rich family. Lichen and the old housekeeper were very satisfied that Zhu Zaikai was able to leave his identity behind and mingle with a group of villagers' children.
The old housekeeper thinks that boys have to be beaten and can't be raised too finely. The dust is in the cultivation of Zhu Zaikai and the heart of ease.
As an emperor, he can put down a shelf among the common people. It will be the best reason for the people to love it. Only when the emperor stands on the side of the people and has the support of the people can he really wrestle with the ministers of the DPRK and China.
Otherwise, will Zhu Zaikai, who is alone and lonely, still rely on eunuchs to fight with his courtiers in the future?
The people say that it is nothing, and it is indeed nothing. But he is real, but he can also make a dynasty spin and fall, and it is the only excuse and weapon for kings and courtiers to fight in the court.
Lichen hopes that when he was a child, he could get closer to Zhu Zaikai and the people. In the future, after succeeding to the throne, he can also find a way to set aside the gentry and establish a reputation among the people.
As soon as Zhu Zaikai got out of the carriage, he ran away. After the little girl was ruthlessly "abandoned" by Zhu Zaikai, she was silently sad for a long time, until a few of her own girlfriends came to invite her to play.
After Lichen nodded, the little girl let go of her resentment against Zhu Zaikai and went to leave with her sisters. Only the two of the smallest, staggering, apparently have not yet found their own organization. (To be continued.) )
