Chapter 310: A Bold Idea (Part 1)
The blue water was blown by the wind, setting off white waves, and the sea water in the distance, under the delicate sun, spread like fish scales on the water.
The sea is vast and boundless.
Several huge ships sailed on the sea, looking at the vast soup soup up close, huge and incomparable, but not a drop in the ocean from a distance, it is not enough.
The rod was pulled up, and a big fish jumped to the deck along the fishing line, and jumped on the deck with a bang, attracting the men around to applaud.
Cao Bin came to the deck angrily and said angrily: "My lord, this is not the way back to Nanjing!" ”
Cao Wei said with a smile: "The second master is really smart, you have discovered this, yes, this is indeed not the way back to Nanjing." ”
Cao Bin smiled angrily: "My subordinates have been in the army for so many years, if they can't even tell the direction, it's better to die...... Well? What's the second master? ”
"Your Excellency has changed the official titles of your subordinates?" Cao Bin said with a dark face: "In the past few days, my lord has asked his subordinates to take off their military uniforms, change them into coarse cloth and rotten shirts, lower the Ming military flag, and replace them with skeleton flags, and now they have changed the official ranks of their subordinates."
My lord, don't make trouble, although our mercenary guards don't take the imperial court's money, but they also belong to the imperial court, and they are half of the officers and soldiers. ”
"This official is not messing around!"
Cao Wei turned his head and said with a smile: "This official naturally has the reason of this official, Cao Bin, do you know how high the sky is and how thick it is?" Do you know that the world is vast and abundant?
In the northernmost part of the world, there is a house made of ice, and it is very warm inside, and there are snow-white giant bears, which look very simple, but in fact they are violent and violent. In a primeval forest, there are giant pythons with thick mouths, fierce and huge rhinoceros, and unknown tribal groups.
The world is so big, it's unimaginable, it's abundant, it's immeasurable......"
Cao Bin listened to Cao Wei talk in a daze, he had never heard of all the magic that his adults said, let alone seen it with his own eyes.
But even so, he didn't have the slightest interest, because in his eyes, the Ming Dynasty was a big country, in the middle of the world, there was everything, nothing was missing, and all good things could be found in the Ming Dynasty, where to search for other treasures.
Say anything today, let Shangguan stop the precipice, and put away the heart of play!
“…… So, this official has a bold idea! The official wants to go to the Wa Kingdom to see, and by the way, bring some special products back, speaking of the special products of the Wa Kingdom, the official knows a little bit about it, there are women with strong chest muscles, and there are ......"
The words changed suddenly, Cao Bin couldn't turn around, and said, "Huh? Wa Kingdom? Why is it involved in the Wa Kingdom again? Are we going to the Wa Kingdom? My lord, no, when the Ming Dynasty was founded, the Wa Kingdom brought a large number of tribute horses and native products to Taizu as a minister, and Taizu set the ancestor to set the Wa State as a country that was not to be conquered.
We have a total of 5,000 soldiers, and we didn't hand over the national watch, so we quietly arrived in the Japanese country, which will cause big trouble, not to mention whether the Japanese people are happy or not, and when we return to Beijing in the future, the court will not be able to pass! ”
"So, this officer asked his subordinates to take off their military uniforms and lower the flag. From now on, we are not the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, but pirates who do all kinds of evil, and in the future, you should not call a certain adult, but call the big boss, so that there will be no talk for people......"
Cao Wei pointed to the sea and said excitedly: "A certain family must leave the legend of One Piece!" ”
Cao Bin persuaded bitterly: "My lord, the sea is dangerous, the slightest carelessness will destroy the ship, you can't joke with the lives of your brothers......"
Cao Wei put down the fishing rod in his hand, looked at him seriously, and said, "This official is not joking, and this time I went to the Wa Kingdom on a whim.
Didn't you once ask about the ambitions of the Officer? The official is interested in talking about it today.
The official often thinks of such a scene, hundreds of years later, the world is different, the people may not have much money at home, but they can eat and dress all year round, not to mention the New Year's holidays, eating meat and drinking wine on weekdays are sparse and common.
There are workshops all over the world, and craftsmen work day and night to produce all kinds of goods. The shop is full of clothes, and the customers who buy things are no longer just rich and noble, but ordinary people.
Merchants brought their own goods for the people to choose from, and they drove the flow of goods and money, and became an indispensable part of the country's prosperity and people's strength.
The world is politically clear, and the people live and work in peace and contentment!
If this is the scene that the official sees in the Ming Dynasty, then even if the official enjoys the blessings, he will enjoy peace of mind and no scruples, but this is not the case in our Ming Dynasty.
Our Ming Dynasty is too poor, ordinary people have no surplus food, in the year of the catastrophe, they can only beg for a living, and even sell their sons and daughters, only the rich can have food and clothing, those officials and gentry are rich, but they put the money and grain in the treasury rusty and rotten, and live on the family's one-third of an acre.
Under the status of businessmen, many people would rather die studying, poor and starving than become rich in business. Craftsmen are scarce and cherish themselves, and many skills are not passed on even if they are lost.
Study! Study! The officials and gentlemen sitting in the lobby all came to study and regarded poetry and books as classics, but few officials cared about whether the people were hungry and naked.
When the official came to the Ming Dynasty, he originally just wanted to be rich and noble for a lifetime, and he was content with a lot of silver and a family. The official could have closed his eyes, closed the door, and eaten, drank, and had fun in the mansion, without bothering to do his best.
This official is valued by the emperor, and he is friendly with the crown prince, even if he doesn't do anything, he can eat and wait for death in the future, and he is a prominent ......"
Cao Wei sighed and said leisurely: "However, this official has been to many places, Yangzhou, Nanjing, Jingshi, and even the northwest land, and has seen a lot of poor people.
They toiled and sweated every day, day after day, day after day, without a deadline, but even so, they were still so poor, they could not afford to eat meat, they could not afford to wear good clothes. If they are lucky enough to meet a good official, they can barely survive, and if they meet an evil official, they can only be squeezed out of the last drop of blood and sweat.
These people are the biggest fools in the world, they have paid too much but are still so poor that they don't look good, and when they see us officials, they have to be respectful, kowtow next time, and take out the best things in the house to "honor" us, whether they like it or not.
Therefore, the official had an idea at some point, and the official wanted to make these fools richer, even if it was only a little.
Our Ming Dynasty is like a pool of stagnant water, there is no wave, what the official wants to do is to stir up this pool of stagnant water. If a country wants to become strong, it needs to connect inside and outside, seek differences and seek changes, and in this process, there are two things that cannot be missing, one is the goods produced, and the other is the money in circulation.
The output of goods is not an overnight thing, and the official can slowly set up workshops among the people through the decree of the imperial court to encourage the people to produce and work. The official will even try to open the sea ban, expand overseas trade, prosper commerce, and optimize civil affairs.
As for the money in circulation, the official will also find a way to get the gentry to take the initiative to take it out, but before that, the official must have a large amount of silver in his hands and in the treasury.
The Japanese country produces silver, this is the purpose of this official to go to the Japanese country, Cao Bin, the Japanese country, do you want to go? ”
Cao Bin tidied up his appearance, his face was solemn, and he bowed his hand: "Once you have a life, you will never give up!" "I want to talk about "Daming Qingshi" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
