After listening to this political affairs for a long time, although Zhu Yujian had the illusion that the general trend of the world was determined by me, he felt that although Li Shouhan had a notoriety as a powerful minister, what great generals controlled government affairs, and all major events in the world were due to the shogunate, etc., all of which were about to grind his ears out. However, if Liang Guogong was really like Cao Cao and other powerful ministers in history, isolating China and foreign countries, and replacing all the ministers with him, and any news unfavorable to him could not come in, how could there be such scolding words that filled my ears?

However, a feeling of fatigue crept over the words of Li Shouhan, Huang Daozhou and others, and he began to yawn. Seeing this, the two big eunuchs standing on both sides exchanged glances with each other very delicately, and nodded slightly.

Zhu Yujian was tricked by Chongzhen's holy decree and was ready to take his guards from Nanyang to King Qin, but he was deposed as a concubine by Chongzhen's holy decree and was imprisoned within the high walls of Fengyang. Although it is said that he carries a lot of goods with him, he will not be discriminated against and abused by the eunuchs of Fengyang. However, those kinds of days are also extremely difficult. Fortunately, he is not the only one who is imprisoned at the same time.

Although the Dewang family from Jinan was also imprisoned, because they had such an incense relationship with Li Shouhan in Jinan, the eunuchs of Fengyang could not help but look at them differently. When the merchants of Nanzhong who walked all over Jianghuai arrived in Fengyang, they often brought the rare and exquisite goods they carried. Therefore, their lives are not much worse than when they were in Jinan Palace. Similarly, in order to pass the time, King De and his Zhu Yujian followed the practice of Emperor Wanli and became arrogant.

Fortunately, the Jiangnan base camp of the Nanzhong merchants is also very close to Fengyang, so there is no need to worry about cutting off the black grain.

"Your Majesty, it's been a while since I listened to the government. It is better to ask the adults and gentlemen to go to the court room to rest for a while, use some tea and snacks, rest for a while, and then come back to share the labor for Your Majesty. The eunuch who was waiting beside him saw a cronie nodding to him at the side door, so he opened his mouth to suggest to Zhu Yujian. Although it is said that all the etiquette systems of the imperial court are now handled in accordance with the system of Nanjing and Beijing, after all, this time is different from the past, and his authority as the chief eunuch can only take care of the emperor's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and decide which concubine can sleep at night.

"It's good! Then he asked the general and the chief assistant to lead the ministers to the court room to rest for a while. Something to do with some snacks and tea. Zhu Yujian also understood what the eunuchs around him meant, and when he said this, he had already smelled a faint fragrance wafting in the warm pavilion behind him.

"Thank you."

The people came out of the temple in a row, and walked towards the rooms on both sides. There, the entourage of the ministers was serving with clothes, hats, snacks, tea and other things, and they had to pay back again.

"Sir, when I was in the court, this official had something that would benefit the country and the people, and I would like to ask the Son of Heaven for permission to recover the country. When the time comes, I hope that the marshal will help. ”

"Where does Lord Shoufu say, as long as it is beneficial to the people of my Ming Dynasty, Li has no reason to care."

"That's good. The student thanked the marshal on behalf of the people of the world. Huang Daozhou bowed to Li Shouhan very formally. In the end, he is a person who has been a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and all his actions are in line with the requirements of the etiquette system.

With a summons, everyone instantly switched from a relaxed atmosphere of drinking tea and chatting to a strict and solemn procession of the court.

In the procession, Li Shouhan ordered people to carry two huge trays, which were covered with red silk, undulating, and he didn't know what was hidden inside.

"Humph! I think it's a new trick and a trick! Used to bewitch Shengcong and deceive the Son of Heaven! In the civil service team, several people cursed in their hearts, but then quietly began to speculate about what was inside, if it was sold on the market, what was the price, what was the use, whether they could buy it and afford it.

Zhu Yujian, the Longwu Emperor on the throne, was much better than Fang Cai's complexion, and he was also in a lot of spirits.

The two shifts of civil and military rearranged and stood, "Ladies and gentlemen, take a break for a while, what you just said, you might as well continue." ”

It has always been Li Shouhan who led the speech just now, and even if he wants to change his right to speak, he should make a gesture.

"Your Majesty, the master craftsman has made two utensils for Your Majesty, please look at them. If it can still enter the eyes of His Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to reward it. ”

Li Shouhan ordered the two wooden trays to be presented and the red silk on them was uncovered, but there were two parts, one large and one small. The big plate is a table clock, inlaid with gold and jade skillfully hand-made, needless to say, more peculiar things, the whole shape is a scene of a river and a mountain, there are rivers rushing under the mountain, there are lush forests on the mountain, there are birds and beasts in the mountains, and there is smoke curling on the plains. A red sun appears on the top of the mountain, which is the scene of the morning sunrise in the east.

"Your Majesty, please look." Li Shouhan ordered people to fetch water and pour it into the river, and as the river flowed, the birds and beasts on the mountain began to act. "The design of the craftsmen, every time the hour is on time, it is the roar of the tiger in the mountains, and the time is announced. Half an hour later, it was the birds chirping. ”

"So, what is this round of red sun?" Zhu Yujian was attracted by Li Shouhan's explanation, and he stepped down from the throne and admired it carefully in front of the huge table clock.

"Your Majesty, this thing is called the sun and the moon. It's daytime, so it's naturally the red sun, and at night, it's the moon. Moreover, synchronized with the movement of the sun and the moon of heaven and earth, when the sun rises, when will this round of red sun come out, and at the beginning of tomorrow, the willow tops will go up, and the moon will go to where it is. ”

The sun and moon have always been the symbols of the Ming Dynasty. Hearing Li Shouhan say this, even among the civil officials, there are people who nod their heads in approval. "Although Liang Guogong is domineering and dictatorial, this heart of fist is well-deserved. This artifact can really inspire us to expel the Tartars as soon as possible, sweep away the blood, and recover China. ”

With the arrival of Western missionaries such as Matteo Ricci, clocks and watches were not a rarity in the upper class of the Ming Dynasty, but a daily household item. Moreover, at this time, it still belongs to the kind of more extravagant and valuable items, and there is absolutely no saying that sending the bell is equal to "sending the end". Moreover, Li Shouhan's piece of the sun and the moon shines brightly, is ingeniously conceived and finely manufactured, and at first glance it took a lot of thought and a lot of manpower and material resources to make it. If nothing else, the synchronization of the sun and moon with the celestial bodies alone is very breathtaking. (Li Shouhan: Actually, I didn't do anything, but the gentlemen and professors in the university spent a lot of calculus paper, stayed up a few all-nighters, and calculated a lot of things!) I can vouch for it, I didn't make them ninety-nine-six! Moreover, the results of their calculations and research can be used as scientific and technological achievements to enjoy dividends. Maybe they don't know that one of their research results can be applied in the industrial system, agricultural production, military, trade, and fiscal and taxation systems of our Nanzhong, so that they can get unexpected expenses! ）

"Good! I know Aiqing's intentions. I have accepted this piece of sunshine and moon! It is placed on this big hall, and I look at it with all my ministers, looking at when I will be able to recover the Liudu, recover the capital, and recover my Ming Dynasty! ”

"Your Majesty! Ministers dare not do their best! The civil and military officials fell to their knees, in fear. For a time, a harmonious scene of Ming monarchs and virtuous ministers.

With this sun and moon shining on the world, the objects in the small plate are not so attractive. In the final analysis, there are just three things, the same is the pocket watch, from the most common low-end entry-level version with brass shell and silk binding, to the intermediate version with enamel as the appearance, the pocket watch with pictures inside, and the high-end version with gold as the shell, inlaid with precious stones and jade, and tied with gold chains.

"This is also a pocket watch from the work place of the minister's subordinates. 1,000 bronze pocket watches, 200 enamel pocket watches, and 50 gold pocket watches, please enter the inner palace for your majesty's reward. ”

This is an important reason why Li Shouhan is regarded as a loyal minister by Zhu Yujian. Although there is some arbitrary authority, there is absolutely no encroachment in etiquette and politeness, and the supply of all kinds of goods is very generous. Eunuch Wang, who was standing beside Zhu Yujian, couldn't help but swallow a big mouthful of saliva. He knew that this kind of pocket watch, the cheapest copper-shelled pocket watch, could only be bought for a hundred silver dollars in the Nanzhong store in Fuzhou City, no, Tianxingfu City. This is still necessary to pay a deposit of 20 yuan before it can be delivered. This thousand pocket watches, my good man! It's a hard 100,000 silver dollars! What's more, there are those enamel porcelain pocket watches and gold shell pocket watches, which are even more invaluable. He involuntarily began to wonder how to sneak out a few pieces as a treasure in his private pocket.

If he knew that the cost of this copper-shelled pocket watch was only eight silver dollars, I wonder if he would be so angry that he would harden all the missing parts?

However, if he sees a few other things in the small tray, he will be more impulsive.

There is a saying that "sake is popular, and wealth is moving." When the contents of the small tray were presented to Emperor Longwu by the little eunuch on duty, he couldn't help but move his eyebrows and his face was happy.

Here are several samples of Longwu silver dollars and Longwu Tongbao. The text is clear, the pattern is beautiful, and the texture looks like fine silver and copper. The yellow and clear is Tongbao, and the white flower that shines in the sun is the silver dollar.

"Ladies and gentlemen, take a look."

Zhu Yujian held a silver dollar in his hand, and a Tongbao looked at it carefully, "Unexpectedly, I now have a Tongbao with my own year name!" There was a burst of ecstasy in him. The more I look at it, the more I feel that Liang Guogong and the general Li Shouhan are indispensable ministers of the Ming Dynasty! Just agreed on the issue of Longwu Tongbao and silver dollars, and immediately presented the samples of silver dollars and Tongbao, so loyal to the king, such a courtier, where to find?! It's a pity that Chongzhen and Hongguang, the two first emperors, are shallow and weak, and they can't afford to be assisted by such courtiers.

He couldn't stop praising and praising Li Shouhan in his heart, of course, the emperor's mental skills, and the final purpose of praising his courtiers was to fall on his own obedience to the heavens, to obey the orders of the heavens, and to be worthy of the heavens and the earth. However, this is not necessarily the case among the ministers.

"Humph! So flattering! What a real minister! What a real traitor! ”

"A hundred years later, the history is spotted, the mouth is leisurely, see how you carry the infamy through the ages!"

Looking at the coin samples that Li Shouhan took out without turning his heels, many people in the civil official queue exchanged glances, and they all understood their meanings from each other's eyes.

"General, the student has something unclear, and I hope to teach him."

Xia Yunyi straightened his robe and stood up impartially.

Xia Yunyi, as the head of the Hongguang Imperial Court's Ministry of Meritorious Examination, returned to his hometown in Huating County, Songjiang after the loss of Nanjing, and then went south to Fujian, where he had been a magistrate. After Tang King Zhu Yujian was supported by Li Shouhan, he served as the secretary of the Ministry of Wenxuan, this position, placed in the previous dynasty, it was also a powerful role.

"Yi Zhong, if you have something to say, please speak."

"For example, today the son has just ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, and there are frequent wars. It is the need to rest and recuperate with the people. Is it appropriate for adults to be so eager to issue new money? Is it nuisance? Can it harm the people? Can it compete with the people for profit? ”

This is another three-plate axe for housekeeping! Harassing the people, harming the people, and competing with the people for profit. It's just that they used to be taken out one by one, and today they really can't wait to fire three moves in a row, and it seems that the righteous gentlemen of Donglin have also come to the point where their donkey skills are poor.

(Smack!) Dozens more bricks flew in, and the unkind author was dizzy. Sun thief! You say that our Donglin gentleman is a donkey in Guizhou?! Lao Tzu is a genius in Jiangnan! You're the donkey! You are the donkey of Guizhou! ）

Zhu Yujian, the Longwu Emperor on the throne, also tried his best to control his emotions, pinching the placket of the dragon robe with both hands, and his fingers had turned white because of the force. Just now, a little eunuch who was on duty outside quietly reported to Eunuch Wang that the general Xingyuan had sent a passbook of 20,000 silver dollars and 15 million Wentongbao, saying that it was handed over to the inner government for safekeeping. This situation immediately made Zhu Yujian happy. "It's still my Liang Guogong! This is the real champion of the sky! Everything has been thought of for me! "However, this group of corrupt people jumped out to accuse them of disturbing the people and harming the people, which is obviously not going to get along with my money bag! I can't get along with my righteous name!

"Disturbing the people? Harm to the people? Competing with the people? Where does this come from? ”

Li Shouhan didn't speak, but Zheng Zhilong, the admiral of the sailor standing behind him, opened his mouth with disdain to inquire in detail.

In the eyes of the Donglin Gentleman Manchu Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong opened his mouth, and it was Li Shouhan who spoke. This is determined by his status. Who made him the admiral of the Southern Yue Army, and Li Shouhan's sons and daughters? Everyone in the world knows that the soldiers and horses of the Southern Guangdong Army are capable of both land and water. However, the transfer of soldiers, horses, money, food and materials is even more based on the sailor, so in the eyes of outsiders, Zheng Zhilong, the position of the commander of the sailor, is the position above the tens of thousands of people under one person in the Nanyue army. Otherwise, Li Huamei's respect as the county lord would not have served in the water division, let alone married Shi Lang, who was born in the water division.

In particular, Zheng Zhilong rescued the Empress Dowager Zou from the dangerous city at the moment before the fall of Hangzhou, continuing the legal status of the current Longwu regime.

"General Zheng, the student's hometown is in Songjiang Mansion. I have also seen the coins of the Chongzhen and Hongguang dynasties made by order of the marshal circulating in the market. To be honest, from the student's point of view, this move is quite suspicious of harming the people and businessmen, and is inconsistent with the way of the sage. ”

This is somewhat untrue. Xia Yunyi was just about to open his mouth to make some gaps for this person's words, but unexpectedly, a loud voice sounded behind Zheng Zhilong.

"Oh! In Xia Bucai, he has also managed the money, grain and taxes of hundreds of thousands of people, how can the coins made by the marshal be harmful to the people? Instead, I have to ask for a word or two. Where is the harm to the people? Whether the material from which the coin was made was adulterated, or whether it was not made in sufficient detail. It's not as good as all kinds of privately cast rotten boards, sand shells and other private money? ”

Since the other party sent pawns out of the horse, the Nanyue army could not deal with it with the generals. An official from the Qin Law School opened his mouth to catch the Songjiang official of Xia Yunyi, and a scolding battle between the two sides began.

Because after the Battle of Liudu, a large number of officials defected to the enemy and hid, so Li Shouhan decided to go south from the Qin Law School to study in Nanzhong, and select people with excellent performance to fill the vacancy. Although this move was strongly opposed by a faction represented by Huang Daozhou, it was still implemented. As a result, these rough men from the northwest swaggered into the court under their hostile gaze, and let some uncivilized words such as donkey balls appear in the court from time to time.

The so-called whoever eats has to face whom, since he took Li Shouhan's money, he has to scream twice at the least, after all, people have not studied natural selection economics, and they don't know that there is still a thing in the world to scold the master with money. Therefore, as soon as Zheng Zhilong finished speaking, someone took over the conversation: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Zheng said is very true." The so-called grasshopper does not know the years, and the rotten Confucianism does not know the militarism. The sages and merchants once said that when the country has a hole, the people can share the wealth and hardship, but not the suffering. In fact, Shang Jun and his old man still think of these people too well, I think they are not even willing to share the wealth. You can think about it, the most bitter is to start a business, Guogong has been working hard for more than 20 years in Nanzhong, have you ever shared a point of hardship? The only thing that the prince and you share is the rich and noble after the success. Since the reign of King Qin of the Kingdom, he has delivered grain, rice, cloth, gunpowder and ordnance to my Ming Dynasty, and even the army of the lord of Huamei County has conquered Tashan and almost died. As a result, instead of thinking about repaying the favor, whenever a country needs your help, it either delays or blames it. The most obvious thing is the new policy of the first emperor, if the new policy is implemented as soon as possible, I am afraid that if it is not for those peasants in the north who support the king, they will have already eaten pot pulp to welcome the king, if they trust the prince as soon as possible, I am afraid that if it is not the Liao thief and the thief will already be arrested, how can it be the humiliation of today's partial peace? ”

When the people in the Qin Law Hall were making an impassioned speech, a student of Zodiac Zhou couldn't help it, and he shouted: "Shut up! Then he pointed to the people in the Qin Law Hall and scolded: "You wait for the thieves and rats, thinking that if you take off the skin of the thief, I won't be able to see through it." In his early years, he did wrong under the banner of Li Chuang, and later insulted the sages in Liudu, which can be described as a bad thing. Later, when I came to Jiangnan, I did whatever I wanted. Let me ask you, can you admit that since you came to Jiangnan, have you arrested dozens of famous royal families at one time just in Hangzhou? Later, under the pretext that the gentry violated the law, he once again arrested more than 100 families and tens of thousands of people, and even tried it to the public, and beheaded more than 1,000 people just by cutting off their heads. Everywhere you go, blood is flowing all over the ground, do you dare to deny this? ”

What he didn't expect was that the people from the Qin Law Hall just sneered, and then said nonchalantly: "Tell me what you have to do with these people?" Those people in Hangzhou are involved in the case, and the national law is intolerable, if you speak for them, I would like to know if there is you in the melon vine. As for the more than 100 families later, I would like to ask why there are so many shameless people in the world. In that year, the government promulgated a law that all weaving factories that obeyed the laws of the state government, and workers could obtain tax exemption rights from the state office if they limited their working hours and increased their wages. As a result, the tax of the national government was exempted, but none of these labor-hour wages were in place, and they were adulterated and counterfeited when manufacturing goods, which harmed the soldiers at the front! In the end, the workers reported, how could the national government not punish these people? Could it be that the prince still has to support them with money while bearing the infamy for them? Although Guogong is benevolent and righteous, he will never do such a cheap thing! ”
