Chapter 217: The Wokou Invade My Taizhou
Naturally, those businessmen came to inquire about Xie Zheng Cement, so they were ready to buy.
Three thousand taels is a lot, but it is also within the acceptable range.
It's just a few hours later, and a few businessmen looked for Xie Zheng again.
"Gongzi Xie, we are all willing to buy cement, but we don't know how to sell this cement?"
This price was already before, Xie Zhi and Xie Zheng had exchanged opinions.
Therefore, after Shang Jia asked, Xie Zheng didn't think about it, and blurted out directly: "There has always been a bag of copper coins, as for how to transport it back, you are responsible for it, if the water becomes the way and can no longer be used, we are not responsible." ”
Copper coins are not expensive to say.
Several businessmen breathed at each other, and one of them replied: "Okay, a few of them have bought it, but they don't know much about cement, and they don't know how much it takes to build a house, and they don't know how to use it." ”
This cement is a new thing, and at the beginning, Xie Zheng didn't know how to use it, but Xie Zhi told him a little bit, and he barely mastered it.
Tell these businessmen how to use it, and only according to the ones that Xie Zhi just handed over, and tell them one by one.
How much sand is in a bag of cement, it is clear to tell.
These businessmen don't necessarily have to build houses, all he can do is to memorize what Xie Zheng told him one by one.
After remembering these things clearly, Xie Zheng led them directly to the cement warehouse.
And the men who were in charge of the cement began to distribute them to these merchants.
When these businessmen negotiated with Xie Zheng, they could not find anyone to transport it back, so they could only pile up the cement they needed in the corner of the wall, pay the deposit, and then go back to find someone.
Time passed, and since these merchants bought it, they also came to the cement workshop with many people.
The standard is that standard, and there is no need for Xie Zheng to see it in person.
If they want to buy it, they will keep the money and find someone to take it away.
If you don't want to buy it, it doesn't matter, just as if they haven't asked, buying and selling is not benevolent!
Just as these things were progressing steadily, the big treasure ship in Tianjin Port was finally noticed.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty has had a piece of tile that is not allowed to go to the sea.
At the beginning, when Xie Zhi built this big ship, many people just thought that it was only going inland.
As the construction of this treasure ship was completed more and more, fools knew that this great treasure ship that could withstand a Category 8 hurricane would be necessary if it only traveled inland.
And there is more than one treasure ship, where the three big treasure ships are swinged, it can be described as magnificent.
Originally, during the shipbuilding period, Xu Jin drank a few meals with the commander of Tianjin Wei in the name of Xie Zhi, and gave more or less benefits.
The Tianjin Wei commander turned a blind eye and agreed to this matter.
When this treasure ship was about to be completed, the commander of Tianjin Wei knew that this matter was not as simple as he imagined, and he reported to the imperial court as soon as possible, so that he could bear less responsibility in the future.
In fact, before the excerpt of this commander, Emperor Hongzhi had already received the excerpt in this regard.
After all, those factory guards are not vegetarians either.
It is impossible for such a conspicuous thing as a treasure ship not to be sent to Emperor Hongzhi's desk at all.
The courtiers didn't make it difficult, and Emperor Hongzhi didn't show his face, so he didn't know about it.
Now the Tianjin Wei Commander sent an excerpt, but Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but express it, and directly sent a decree to summon Xie Zhi to Beijing.
A few days ago, Zhu Houzhao rented out all the land according to the methods taught by Xie Zhiyu.
It has a very good reputation among ordinary people.
After this matter was accomplished, some ministers in the court praised Zhu Houzhao even more.
Zhu Houzhao's ability to have such a change now has something to do with Xie at most.
Naturally, Emperor Hongzhi was also satisfied with Xie Zhi.
Emperor Hongzhi is more or less cultivating Xie Zhi, and only when Xie Zhi can grow up can he become a big help to Zhu Houzhao.
Xie Zhi is Zhu Houzhao's companion, and he can help Zhu Houzhao suppress those old ministers in the future and avoid the occurrence of the inherent situation of Jun Shaochen.
Of course, in order to avoid Xie Zhigong's high shock, you have to find Xie Zhi's weakness.
Emperor Hongzhi was also looking for this opportunity while using Xie Zhi.
Finally, when King Ning put down the rebellion, he found it.
Xie Zhi is a talented person, but he is also a person who loves children, and for the sake of women, he doesn't want all fame.
Such people are often unambitious, and they are naturally easy to grasp.
When he sent someone to pass on Xie Zhi to enter Beijing, Emperor Hongzhi had so many questions in his mind.
At this moment, an urgent report from the Taizhou government came in.
Emperor Hongzhi did not slack off, hurriedly opened it, and after seeing the content clearly, he took the case and scolded angrily: "I was deceived too much, and the Japanese invaded my Taizhou again." ”
Immediately, Emperor Hongzhi raised his hand and instructed the eunuch on the side: "Convey the decree to the cabinet, the military department is still in the book, and the governor of the five armies is here to discuss matters." ”
In addition to the ministers who convened the cabinet to give advice, they also summoned the people from the military department and the governor's office of the five armies.
It was clear that Emperor Hongzhi did not want to take this breath.
In fact, it is not only the literati who are reluctant to go out, but even the military generals are unwilling.
Now the Wa Kingdom is in a period of great turmoil, if the Ming Dynasty can send a sailor, why bother with the trouble.
Soon, the person who should summon entered the warm pavilion one after another.
Entering the warm pavilion, when everyone saluted, Emperor Hongzhi spoke: "Taizhou Mansion sent an urgent report, the Japanese invaders landed in Taizhou, and slaughtered my Ming people, what do you think?" ”
During the Yongle period, the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom thought that the exploration trade was normal for a period of time.
Later, with the division of the north and south of the Wa Kingdom, this exploration trade formation failed.
Later, some frustrated samurai and politicians were stranded at sea and repeatedly committed crimes against the Ming Dynasty.
Eventually, some of the daimyo lords, who were looking at the profits, also got involved.
The plague is getting worse and worse.
The capital of the Ming Dynasty is in the north, and the defense has always been Tatar, and there has never been a real extermination of the Japanese invaders.
That is, when he was in Jiajing, he was disabled by Qi Jiguang once.
However, it has not been really eradicated, and although it is not as rampant as before, small forces still exist.
Sheng Shi used Wenchen, although he asked about military issues, it was Liu Jian who spoke first.
Liu Jian replied: "The minister thinks that it is necessary to strengthen the defense on land, and the guard post can be added. ”
This method is the safest, and it is also the idea that Wenchen has always used well.
Liu Jian's voice fell, and Li Dongyang also spoke: "The minister seconded the proposal, Taizu's will, the Japanese are not a country that is not conquered, I am not good at water warfare, and the Japanese are good at hiding and attacking, he is hiding in the sea, and he comes to intrude again and again, and it costs a lot." ”
The two cabinet scholars have expressed their opinions, and it is Xie Qian's turn next.
After a pause, Xie Qian spoke: "The minister thinks that even if it is as Li Gong said, it should show my Ming attitude, and I have to gather troops to deal with it, so that the Japanese will be afraid when they commit again." ”
After the words of the scholar, it was Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War.
It is estimated that it is because Ma Wensheng is the person in charge of the army, although he is a Wenchen, but he also answered categorically in the battle, without the slightest cowardice, and replied: "The minister thought that when the war was fought, the water collector and the elite guard in Jiangnan were eliminated." ”
After Ma Wensheng spoke, he was naturally the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.
Although these people are all from the rank of honor, and the ancestors were all meritorious in war, most of them have lost the blood of their ancestors.
Neither of the five governors were in charge.
Just as these people were arguing about how to solve the problem in the warm pavilion, Xie Zhi had already received the will of Emperor Hongzhi.
Since there is a purpose, Xie Zhi doesn't need him to do it himself, but he just goes.
When Xie Zhi rushed to Jingshi from the clouds, he hurried into the palace.
Although these things that were argued in the warm pavilion came to an end, they did not come to fruition.
Whatever their answers, these people have their own agendas.
There was no result, and Emperor Hongji was quite upset.
As an emperor, this is the case, and he has to worry about everything in every way.
When Emperor Hongzhi was in a bad mood, he heard the news that the little eunuch had reported that Xie Zhi had arrived, so he hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Call him in." ”
Xie Zhi always has a new answer, and Emperor Hongzhi is also looking forward to Xie Zhi's thoughts.
Entered the warm pavilion and thanked him.
Emperor Hongzhi had a calm face and asked, "Why did you toss Tianjin again?" ”
Emperor Hongzhi raised this matter, and Xie Zhi already knew the reason.
pulled up a smile and replied with a smile: "The minister accidentally got the treasure ship map of the Three Treasure Eunuchs back then, and he couldn't help but get it out." ”
Xie Zhi said it easily, that treasure ship had cost more than 100,000 silver by now.
Most of the money earned from other places was spent on it.
