Chapter 473: Finally Reaching the Sea

Tianjin Wei? ”

Rao is Shen Shixing, who has a gentle personality, couldn't help but be angry when he saw Zhang Chengtian say these words shamelessly, and immediately sneered: "Prime Minister, since this is the case, then why not let King Lu be a vassal in the capital?" I also went to Tianjin Wei to save these steps. ”

This Tianjin Wei is famous for the three forks, is the transit place of Caoyun, very prosperous, do you want to punish King Lu, or reward King Lu.

And at the foot of Beijing, it belongs to Beizhili, and this Beizhili has never had a vassal king.

The other officials couldn't help but be angry, only to feel that Zhang Cheng was insulting them, if Shen Shixing hadn't spoken first, they would have sprayed directly.

It's just too deceitful.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, don't be impatient."

Zhang Cheng was also trembling, and hurriedly explained: "You misunderstand what our family means, our family is not talking about building a Luwang Mansion in the Tianjin Acropolis, but building the Luwang Mansion in a desolate place near the sea in Tianjin, and our family has brought you this map, right here in Yuyang Port." ”

As he spoke, he slapped a map on the table.

Yuyang Port?

Is there such a place?

Everyone looked over and saw that this place was in a bay near the sea in the easternmost part of Tianjin Wei.

Because of the sea ban policy, Tianjin Wei's prosperity does not rely on the bay, but on the canal, and there are really no people there, at most some scattered fishermen.

And the ancients never thought that the seaside was a good place, how terrible the sea was, you felt that the sea was very free, you could take a boat to walk, then you just slip away, absolutely no one stopped you.

This was a surprise to Shen Shixing.

Zhang Cheng explained: "Don't hide it from you, in fact, Your Majesty also thinks that Guo Dan's suggestion is reasonable, in recent years, due to natural disasters, the treasury has allocated grain several times to help the vassal king, and Your Majesty also wants to solve this problem." But Your Majesty, as a son of man, has to consider the Queen Mother! King Lu is still young and mentally immature, let him go to Lingnan to become a vassal prince, so how can the Queen Mother feel at ease! The palms and backs of these hands are full of meat, and it is not easy for Your Majesty! ”

Wang Jiaping said: "But Beizhili has never allowed the vassal king to become a vassal king. ”

"If you want to follow the ancestral system, Lingnan will not work!"

Zhang Cheng sighed: "You really don't know, Your Majesty has been very worried about this recently, and he can't even sleep well.

His Majesty's meaning is to set aside a piece of land for King Lu here, build a Lu Wang's Mansion, and all expenditures will not be borne by the imperial court or Tianjin Wei, all of which will be borne by Weihui Mansion, and Lu rice will not be borne by Tianjin Wei, and the local people will not need a grain of rice or an inch of land, and all will be allocated by Weihui Mansion to buy grain. ”

Guo Dan added: "As you all know, the population of Weihui Mansion has increased a lot, and you have to buy grain from outside, and the taxes handed over to the imperial court are all silver taels, so there is no need for the imperial court to make any adjustments." ”

One of the most appealing reasons for his suggestion was to use food from remote areas to feed the vassal kings, and transport it to the capital as soon as possible, so that a lot of losses could be avoided.

Weihui Mansion directly produces silver, which can also avoid many losses, even if the losses are private, and have nothing to do with the state.

Zhang Cheng then said: "Your Majesty also wants to take this as an attempt, although Tianjin Wei is at the foot of Beijing, but there has never been a prince in such a desolate place, if this time is successful, then in the future to make some changes." ”

This.....!

Shen Shixing and they couldn't help but glance at each other.

If King Lu is a vassal in this kind of place, then the other vassal kings .......

It's a real thing to try.

Zhang Cheng saw that they were a little moved, and hurriedly hit the railway while it was hot: "Everyone, this is the greatest compromise that Your Majesty can make, and the Queen Mother has also agreed, although it is relatively desolate, but after all, it is close to Beijing, and there is anything to take care of. Your Majesty has already said that if you don't agree to this, then don't talk about it. ”

Shen Shixing said: "If this land is really as the prime minister said, then it is not impossible. ”

"Is it necessary for our family to lie to you?"

Zhang Cheng snorted, but he knew in his heart that Shen Shixing was just a delaying tactic, and they couldn't agree to this matter immediately, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, you go and inquire, it's true." ”

After the meeting ended and Zhang Cheng left, Shen Shixing suddenly stopped Guo Dan, who was about to leave, and asked, "Guo Dan, is this your idea?" ”

Guo Dan hung his head and said: "Yes, this compromise idea is indeed from me, but I didn't decide where it was, and I didn't even know where Yuyang Port was." ”

Saying that, he smiled bitterly: "I don't want to come up with this idea, I didn't do anything, but the adults think it's my fault, and Your Majesty also thinks it's my fault, I haven't slept well for many days, I really don't know who to provoke, I made Weihui Mansion so prosperous, but no one praised me, who made me a businessman, I can't get anything except money." If Shousuke-sama has nothing else to do, the grass people will take their leave first. ”

Shen Shixing nodded slightly.

"The grass people say goodbye."

After Guo Dan left, Wang Jiaping sighed: "He is indeed innocent of this matter. ”

Li Zhi snorted: "He is innocent? If he hadn't contracted here and there, there would have been so many things. ”

Wang Jiaping waved his hand and said: "I can't say that, if it weren't for him, I don't know how many people died, not to mention that now Weihui Mansion still pays enough taxes to the imperial court." ”

Li Zhi didn't dare to compete with Wang Jiaping, after all, Wang Jiaping has now become the teacher of the emperor's eldest son, and his prestige is very high, so he asked Shen Shixing: "What does Shen Shoufu think?" ”

Shen Shixing said: "I think it can be considered, although it is in Beizhili, there is no need to divide the fields and people to the Luwang Mansion, this money is allocated from the Weihui Mansion, it will not cause any trouble." The main thing is that this has set a precedent, if it is successful, it can be arranged in this way in the future, and the treatment that the vassal king deserves, but at the same time to avoid disturbing the people because of the vassal, there can be no more situations like Weihuifu, the imperial court has allocated a lot of money, and the result is also caused by turmoil in Weihuifu. ”

Wang Jiaping and Wang Xijue nodded one after another.

Li Zhi said: "Lord Shoufu reminded the lower officials, it is precisely because of the crisis in the Weihui Mansion before, so the lower officials think that the risk of changing the domain is very great, and now the people think that the matter of the Luwang Mansion has been settled, and now it has suddenly changed the domain, which will cause panic among the people after all, if something similar happens again, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Shen Shixing nodded and said, "You have a point, but Your Majesty's attitude is already very clear, and you have also made a big compromise, if we don't agree, we may not get anything, and it will anger Your Majesty and the Queen Mother." ”

The key is still Empress Dowager Li, although this woman has not appeared for a long time, the ministers know that she cannot be offended.

Regarding the matter of establishing the prince, although the Empress Dowager Li did not say a word, but it played a great role, if there was no Empress Dowager Li, Wanli might have gambled on this.

Li Zhi also understood in his heart that he was actually a drunkard who did not mean to drink, and said: "Since the expenses used to change the domain are all spent by Weihui Mansion, why not let Guo Dan be responsible, and we must not let the people of Luwangfu participate in it, if there is any problem, let's settle accounts with Guo Dan." ”

Shen Shixing suddenly realized, but he thought that this was also right, why did it happen like that last time, it was because the people in Luwangfu took the opportunity to blackmail and blackmail, if Guo Danlai was fully responsible, this problem could be avoided.

If the people of King Lu's Mansion want to profit from it, go to Guo Dan to blackmail, don't harm the people, we can't punish King Lu, and we can't punish him Guo Dan.

After some deliberation, although the expected goal was not achieved, it was not completely unacceptable, after all, this set a precedent, the feudal land was far away from the people, not to say that the imperial court gave Zulu rice, and they had to make another profit from the people and the government, and even cooperated with the landlord to make a profit.

Where did they think of it, Guo Dancai disdained to ask the people for money, now the people have a fart to get money, so many overseas mine bosses, one pit is enough.

Only one day later, they brought Zhang Cheng and Guo Dan again.

"Okay, okay, grass people are fully responsible."

Without waiting for them to finish speaking, Guo Dan raised his hands and said, "How much money do the adults think should be paid, the grass people will give half more money, and the grass people just want to end this matter quickly." Dissatisfied with all the adults, the grass people are now unpleasing on three sides, and I don't know who released the news, and those merchants who do business in the Luwang Mansion also came to find the grass people, saying that the grass people deceived them...... Don't say it, don't say it, the grass people are willing to pay for it, the grass people don't want a penny from the local people, the grass people give them back the money, and the grass people provide for them, it's always okay. ”

Speaking of the back, he covered his face and was about to collapse.

"Okay."

Shen Shixing looked still a little guilty, so he didn't say more, but he didn't know that Guo Dan's heart was already happy, if he didn't let him be responsible, he would be in a hurry with you.

Here the Wang family began to discuss with Zhang Cheng again, how to strictly restrict King Lu's actions, although King Lu's mansion was built in a desolate place, but if King Lu went to Tianjin Wei every day, there would be a ball.

Zhang Cheng also agreed one by one, if King Lu wants to go out, he must get the emperor's permission, anyway, it is on the side, and it won't take long to report back and forth.

It's all planned.

And when the time comes, it will be even more powerful than they asked, because Guo Dan wants to secretly build a port and cargo ship inside, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without the permission of the emperor.

Shen Shixing thought that they had thought it through and basically there would be no problems, so they finally agreed to let King Lu change his domain to Tianjin Wei.

As everyone knows, they are already accomplices of One Piece Wanli.

PS: There seems to be some controversy in the last chapter, but it's just a small misunderstanding, maybe I wrote it a little roughly.

In fact, in history, Wanli was still so restricted, that Matteo Ricci came to the Ming Dynasty to preach, he first learned Chinese, first learned the customs of the Ming Dynasty, and then wore the clothes of Buddhist monks, and then combined with Buddhism, Confucianism, Taoism and some ideas to propagate the teachings.

This was a normal phenomenon at the time, and it had little to do with the sect itself, mainly politics and rule.

This is true in both the East and the West.

Wasn't there also a great purge within Christianity, and the end result was the great America.
