Chapter 523: Flower Monk Zhu Yuanzhang (7)

"What?!" After hearing Xu Guangqi's words, most of the people present were surprised, and even Sun Chengzong turned his surprised eyes on him when he misread it.

Since Emperor Chongzhen returned to the Ming Dynasty from the 21st century, the political landscape of the entire empire has undergone significant changes. In the original history, Emperor Chongzhen, who had a close relationship with scholars, immediately used a large number of Donglin Party figures after ascending the throne. As a result, at their instigation, many commercial taxes in the empire were exempted, which led to an even more serious economic crisis in the empire.

However, since derailing from the original history, the historical process of the Ming Empire has entered an era of focusing on commercialization.

Emperor Chongzhen, who returned from the 21st century, not only did not exempt himself from commercial taxes, but tried all kinds of ways to prepare to hold the financial power established by the empire into his own hands. Taxes in Jiangnan have been quietly increasing, which has caused dissatisfaction among many scholars. But Emperor Chongzhen naturally has its magic method, and at present, he is preparing with great fanfare to exempt all agricultural taxes from the territory of the empire. All the peasants who heard the news, relieved by the economic pressure, immediately supported Emperor Chongzhen more loyally, which made it difficult for his position to be shaken for a moment.

A variety of new policies have been introduced, taking advantage of gold's growing prestige. However, the scholars and doctors in Jiangnan began to become more and more dissatisfied with the emperor, and many chose to resign in protest against the current policies of the imperial court.

Fortunately, the grace of the Ming Empire has bathed these scholars and doctors for 300 years, and for a while, this small vertical ebb and flow is not enough to affect the normal operation of the imperial court.

You must know that the Donglin Party has been in control of the imperial court for a long time, and the officials in office are not necessarily capable. And the officials who are idle at home are not necessarily incapable.

In this way, the imperial court quickly obtained a batch of fresh blood. Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Apocalypse Dynasty, is also one of them.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Guangqi in the tablet, and was obviously very satisfied with his statement. However, he also knew that the current helm of the empire was not himself, but the descendants of his four sons. To some extent, it made him a little unhappy, because he already knew that Zhu Di, the king of Yan back then. Soon after his death, he rebelled and succeeded in stealing the throne.

In addition to these, he can't reveal his identity too obviously, after all, there is another friendly country in the territory of the Ming Empire. If the ordinary people among them know about the special abilities of the emperors, it will be a huge obstacle to the development of the entire empire.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang also deeply understands the truth that greed can't chew too much. Now that Xu Guangqi has expressed his support, this is the best harvest.

However, it was not Xu Guangqi who was in charge of the negotiations, but Sun Chengzong beside him. What this old man meant. It is quite possible to directly influence the judgment of the emperor.

After all, for this teacher of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, his influence in the imperial court was naturally unparalleled. Plus, Emperor Chongzhen, who came back from the 21st century. has learned about the entire historical process at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and he knows Sun Chengzong's loyalty, in many things. They are all very dependent on him.

Wang Anshi, who was at the negotiation site, also understood this situation. However, he was not very worried personally, because he knew that the important purpose of Sun Chengdong's appearance here was to feel whether the empire, which was still a friendly country, would give the Ming Empire too much trouble.

But at present, Wang Anshi, who has always been pleasant-looking, naturally does not bring any hostility, and he is not very worried about Zhu Yuanzhang, who is also a missionary at present.

From a military point of view, if friendly countries want to support Zhu Yuanzhang and win the world of the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that they will be doubted by the people of the world, after all, many people will not believe that Zhu Yuanzhang will reappear in the late Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, before the friendly countries have not brought out the Emperor of the Apocalypse, the relationship between the two sides will not deteriorate to a particularly serious point, and the other party is obviously very clear about this, so it is Zhu Yuanzhang who comes out, so this is an obvious signal to try to ease the relationship.

In this case, cooperation must be a common choice for both sides, and Xu Guangqi, who is very familiar with this aspect of religion, has expressed his support for the spread of Datong Religion in the territory of the Ming Empire, so what else is there to say!

After all, he had already heard that the Datong Sect, which was currently developing mainly in Shandong, had quickly won the trust of the grassroots masses by teaching ordinary peasants a lot of production techniques.

Therefore, Sun Chengzong almost immediately expressed his position.

"I think this negotiation can be concluded now, and the Ming Empire will allow the spread of the Datong Sect here. However, missionaries had to obey the laws of the empire. ”

"Of course." Wang Anshi never thought that the problem would be solved in such a quick time.

He originally prepared a lot of great truths, including the many benefits of Datongjiao, how to make ordinary people survive better, and how to recreate more sources of finance and taxation. However, at this point, he didn't have to say anything.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect that his unsystematic phone call could have such a good effect, but he didn't expect that as soon as he said a few words, someone jumped out to express his support for him. And this person is obviously a professional who knows a lot about religion within the Ming court.

"In this case, Yao Guangxiao and I will return to the capital immediately. However, you need to be aware that our identities must be kept strictly confidential. We don't want ordinary people to think of us as corpse fraudsters. ”

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect me to laugh and be resurrected. However, these people are also classified as high-level secrets, and what they need to worry about now are those ministers who have a habit of talking in their dreams at night, and they must not leak their mouths.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, most of the Ming Dynasty officials present were honored to be about to meet the living Emperor Taizu, but Wang Anshi didn't understand his decision very well.

"What? Aren't you ready to continue spreading the Datong religion on the Tibetan Plateau? ”

"When I talk about this, I get angry." Zhu Yuanzhang said with some indignation, "I don't know where we made a mistake, but someone got our news in such a quick time today, and clearly understood our purpose." According to the latest military intelligence, they have amassed an army of tens of thousands and are preparing to attack us. Yao Guangxiao and I are no match for them, and it just so happens that the United States has already given the order for us to go back. The matter here will be left to Xue Rengui. He's familiar with this place anyway, Bilwei, you know. ”

"Ahh Wang Anshi exhaled softly in surprise, Bi Liwei, although in terms of administrative division, it can't completely coincide with that place, but if you want to go to that place, maybe Xue Rengui will have some ...... Mixed feelings.

Da Feichuan, I don't know if this time, will General Xue return with hatred again? (To be continued......)
