Chapter 227: Showdown with Zhu Zhanji
Although Hou Guishan still behaved like a hard bone when facing Xue Bin, but in the face of Zhu Zhanji, who didn't know how to be happy and angry, and Yang Shaofeng, who was full of murder in his eyes, Hou Guishan finally coaxed down.
If you are cowardly, you have to accept your fate.
Because Houguishan is not the nominal king of the Wa Kingdom, he has no right to sign other contracts such as garrisons and embassies, so Yang Shaofeng always feels that the Ming side has lost.
Since he felt that he had lost money, Yang Shaofeng had to find a way to make up for it.
Therefore, even if the Southern Dynasty where Houguishan is located is already poor and about to be unable to open the pot, Yang Shaofeng still did not have the slightest softness, and instructed Wu Keqin to sign the "Daming-Houguishan Treaty of Friendship and Mutual Assistance" with Houguishan in his own name, and the price was raised to 40,000 taels of silver by Yang Shaofeng - even if the Northern Dynasty on Houxiaosong's side found out about this peace treaty, the problem could also be pushed to Wu Keqin.
As for Wu Keqin, he didn't take the contract seriously at all - even if Hou Xiaosong sued Zhu Laosi, he was only fined for half a year, and Yang Shaofeng's fingers leaked more than Yu Lu.
Then Yang Shaofeng and Zhu Zhanji got together and opened the last bottle of immortal drunk brought from Daming.
After all, it is 40,000 taels of silver, even if it is repaid in a hundred years without interest, it is more than 1 million taels per year, and this million taels is still obtained in vain, and the cost is the reward for the 3,000 cavalry.
If you add the 30,000 taels of silver on Hou Komatsu's side, the two sides add up to 70,000 taels of silver.
If you take into account that there are only 10 million taels of cash in the treasury of the Ming Dynasty, and you do not consider the chaotic factors such as inflation, then this is equivalent to the treasury of 70 Ming Dynasty.
Even if he can only receive two million taels of silver every year, it is equivalent to one-fifth of the current Ming treasury, which is almost equivalent to the ten treasury in the thirteenth year of Yongle - in the thirteenth year of Yongle, the treasury has a balance of 200,000 taels of silver.
Zhu Zhanji grabbed the wine bottle and poured all the remaining immortal drunkenness into his cup, and then grabbed the wine bottle and said, "Sixty thousand taels, how happy Xia Butang is this time?" ”
Yang Shaofeng looked down at the glass that was about to be empty, and then looked at the wine bottle that Zhu Zhanji was holding in his hand, and snorted a few times in dissatisfaction before he spoke: "No more, as long as you can get an extra 200,000 taels a year, Xia Lao will be able to smile until his old face blooms."
Now that there are more than two million taels a year, I estimate that Xia Laoli can wake up laughing when he dreams, and he has to continue laughing when he wakes up, and he can't stop laughing. ”
Zhu Zhanji snorted, drunk the few immortals left in his hand to Yang Shaofeng, and then picked up the wine glass and said: "You are really ruthless, in such a big place as the Wa Kingdom, you directly got 60,000 taels of silver, which is not counting the income from selling farm tools in the future." ”
Yang Shaofeng picked up the wine glass with some disdain and drank it with Zhu Zhanji.
Am I ruthless?
Which of the "Sino-Japanese Conference on the Formal Treaty on the Matters of the Three Eastern Provinces", the "Treaty of Shimonoseki", the "Treaty of Xincho", the "Sino-Japanese Treaty on Trade and Shipping", and the "Sino-Japanese Beijing Treaty" were not signed by the Mites Qing and the Wa State?
Just charge some interest in advance.
Zhu Zhanji obviously didn't want to pay attention to these things in the Japanese State anymore: "By the way, what are you going to do after you go back?" ”
Yang Shaofeng said: "I don't know what to do. Otherwise, I'd better go back to Yangjia Zhuangzi to teach, and I'll be a six-headed champion. ”
"Huh." Zhu Zhanji's words were full of mockery: "Is there still a champion like you in this world?" ”
"And what do you think I'm supposed to do?"
Zhu Zhanji spread his hands and said, "You ask me, who do I ask?" To be honest, I don't know what you're supposed to do.
Originally, I always thought that the problems you tried to write at the beginning were extremely troublesome, and if you really have to solve them one by one, you will definitely not succeed without decades of effort.
But now that we look at it, it has only been three or four years, and the problem of treasure money has been solved, the problem of commercial taxation has also been solved, the problem of giving too much preferential treatment to scholars has also been solved, and even the problem of Tatar and Warat has been solved for the most part.
You say, what's left of the questions? Imperial clan? Daning? Daning doesn't need to be said anymore, Duoyan Sanwei will not make a fuss, and it will slowly integrate into Daming, and Daning's problems will be solved.
It's a problem with the clan, don't say it's you, even if it's the emperor's grandfather, you can't help it, you can't change the rules set by the grandfather, right? ”
Yang Shaofeng touched his chin and said, "Speaking of which, the rule set by the great grandfather is to let the king guard the side, you know this, right?" ”
Zhu Zhanji's face turned slightly red: "Isn't there no boundale to defend now?" ”
Yang Shaofeng didn't argue with Zhu Zhanji, and said directly: "What, hasn't Gonggong Zheng been to places like Mugu Dushu?" I have so many vassal clans in the Ming Dynasty, how good is it to just throw them over and let them go there to be a soil emperor? ”
Zhu Zhanji's face changed: "This? ”
Yang Shaofeng said: "Do you think, without Gonggong Zheng's fleet, these vassal kings are equivalent to hanging overseas, even if they want to go back to Daming, they can't come back, are you worried about a fart?" ”
Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said, "Am I afraid that they will return to Daming?" I think it's too ruthless to throw the vassal king to the wooden bones? ”
Yang Shaofeng's face was full of indifference: "Otherwise, you will raise them as pigs, raise them until they die, and then raise their children and grandchildren, and when the treasury can't afford to raise them, you will cry slowly!" ”
Zhu Zhanji diverted the topic and said, "When will you go back to Daming?" I'm tired of being here and don't want to stay anymore. ”
In addition, Yang Shaofeng and Zhu Zhanji and others don't care about whether the environment of the Wa Kingdom is destroyed at all, and they don't feel distressed at all when they cut down trees and dig coal, so the word cold has nothing to do with them.
But, boring.
In the bigger places, there are only so many people, except for the occasional boxing game and football in the army, there is no entertainment for the rest.
In addition, eating and drinking are not as smooth as in the Ming Dynasty, and his wife and children are also in Shuntian Mansion, Zhu Zhanji can't stay anymore.
Yang Shaofeng frowned and said, "I can't stay anymore." But if you really want to go back, you won't be able to do it for a while. ”
Listening to the cold wind whistling outside, Yang Shaofeng continued: "Those messy workshops have to be watched, and the export of farm tools has to be stared at, and now it is windy and snowy, if we want to go back, it is estimated that we will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year."
As for now, let's stay in the Wa Kingdom honestly."
Zhu Zhanji said: "I miss my daughter-in-law, and I miss my son too." I want to go home. ”
Yang Shaofeng said: "I miss my daughter-in-law too." It's been less than a year since I got married, and I went to the Wa Kingdom to toss these messy things, and it's annoying enough to think about it.
When I go back, I will definitely not toss so much, and I will either stay in Zhuangzi in the future, or find an opportunity to go out to the following state and county to make a county order or something. ”
Zhu Zhanji was immediately amused: "Everyone wants to be a Beijing official, you are good, you always want to run out?" Is there something wrong with you? ”
"Phew!" Yang Shaofeng snorted and said, "It's you who has the problem, not me." Think about it, the county order is also a positive seventh-grade, which is several levels higher than mine, right? ”
"No, why do you always think about your officials? Who really thinks you are from the top and bottom of the court? Who is idle and dares to provoke you? ”
"It's not a question of provoking or not." Yang Shaofeng said: "This is a matter of grade.
Of course, it's not just a matter of grade, but I still have some ideas, and I plan to go to the following states and counties to try it, otherwise I don't have confidence in my heart. ”
Zhu Zhanji asked curiously, "What do you think?" Do you have to toss it yourself? Isn't there seventy-three students, how can there be a few of them in the palace examination of Yongle's nineteenth year? ”
Yang Shaofeng was a little annoyed, grabbed his hair and said: "Don't say that they are seventy-three, even if you bring Yi Xiao and Bai Geng over to me, if I don't go down and stare at it myself, I don't worry!" ”
After drinking all the wine in the cup, Yang Shaofeng simply had a showdown with Zhu Zhanji: "Let's put it this way." When I returned to Daming, I went to the imperial grandfather to ask for a favor and let go out to make a county order.
I don't have high requirements, as long as I find a county that is not too remote, preferably in the coastal area of Shandong.
I want to try if I can rely on the workshop and the like to let the people have another way to live, without having to rely on the ground to eat, and not having to look at the sky to live. ”
Zhu Zhanji suddenly became curious: "Didn't you take off your pants and exhaust it, did you do it too much?"
Let's not talk about other places, let's talk about the Yang family's Zhuangzi, how many of the Zhuang households on the Zhuangzi are really relying on the ground to eat now? Don't you still rely on your workshops and fish and sheep breeding? ”
"That's different!" Yang Shaofeng said: "The Yang family Zhuangzi is the Yang family Zhuangzi, but if you look at the Zhuangzi next to the Yang family, how many of them are the same as the Yang family Zhuangzi?" ”
Zhu Zhanji said: "Other people's Zhuangzi, even if it is not as good as the Yang family's Zhuangzi, but it is not much worse, right?"
There are also the people of Shuntianfu, who are now mostly living on the construction site, rather than relying on the one-third of an acre of land, what do you say is the significance of your experiment? ”
Yang Shaofeng immediately asked rhetorically: "What when the project of the Imperial City of Shuntianfu is over?"
You must know that now that the projects of the palace city and the imperial city have been completed, and the remaining outer city and those gardens can be taken slowly, there is no need to rush like now, and the number of laborers needed will be reduced at that time, what do you let them do?
I want to find a place to try, get a few workshops out, so that the people can get used to working in the workshops to make money.
Do you remember when I told you two years ago that I think the weather is getting colder every year? You have to plan ahead, right? ”
Zhu Zhanji was even more confused: "Shouldn't we persuade farmers to cultivate mulberry, let the people have more grain, and store more grain in various warehouses in various places?" ”
