Chapter 377: Friendship
,
"What the gentleman said is very true."
Regarding Zhang Juzheng's suggestion, Zhu Yijun also agreed.
"This candidate must be carefully considered, in the opinion of the gentleman, what kind of person should be chosen?"
"First of all, this person must be capable and reliable, and secondly, this person must understand Nanyang, after all, now the vassal king's clan relatives are easy to seal to Nanyang, if that person does not understand Nanyang, I am afraid that there will be chaos, and then it will harm the court's plan."
After thinking about it, Zhang Juzheng said.
"From the minister's point of view, Shi Yiwen of the General Taxation Department is very appropriate."
"He can't!"
Zhu Yijun directly interrupted Zhang Juzheng's words, and then said angrily:
"Mr. Zhang, last year, Shi Yiwen changed the banknote customs, not only the annual income of the imperial court increased, but also the inner court supply was sufficient, and now the banknotes are the time to employ people, he went to Nanyang, when the time comes, who will preside over the banknotes? Anyone can do it, but he can't. ”
In an instant, Zhang Juzheng understood that Shi Yiwen's "friendship with the emperor" was not just talking, but he still patiently persuaded him:
"Your Majesty, the charter of the banknote customs has now become customized, and ten new customs will be opened this year, according to the general secretary, at least five million taels of income can be increased, even if it is divided between five and five internal and external, the income of the inner court this year will exceed 10 million taels, and the use of the inner court can naturally be guaranteed. The minister heard that the emperor often played a game of throwing houses in the palace, and whoever won could get the golden horn and silver beans. Suzhou's gold-inlaid ebony fan, a is worth five taels of silver, you are happy, you will reward people with eight and ten. This kind of extravagance must not grow, otherwise even if there are tens of millions of taels in the treasury, it will not be enough to squander it like this. ”
Zhu Yijun's face couldn't help but become a little embarrassed when he heard this, so he changed the topic and said:
"Mr. Zhang, although Shi Yiwen is not from a Jinshi, but he is also a talented person, it is a pity that such a person is placed in Nanyang, I am still young, I always need to be a national reserve!"
Even when the emperor talked about this, Zhang Juzheng still stubbornly replied:
"Your Majesty, Shi Yiwen is indeed a talent, but just because he is a talent, and he is a great talent, the minister will suggest this, Your Majesty, Yi Fan Nanyang is related to the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, and Your Majesty stays by his side, he can only open a prosperous era for a lifetime, please think twice!"
A thousand years of prosperity!
I Prosperous ......
Although Zhang Juzheng did not explain, Zhu Yijun knew the difference between the two in his heart, and he had long known the many benefits of Yifeng Nanyang from Shi Yiwen. It is a good thing for him, for the Ming Dynasty, for the clan, and for the people of the world.
However, Zhu Yijun didn't want Shi Yiwen to leave, after all, they were friends, and he didn't want to betray his promise......
But now Zhang Juzheng's suggestion made Zhu Yijun not know how to choose for a while, on the one hand, private friendship, and on the other hand, this is the world......
"Yes, yes, ......"
Zhu Yijun stammered and said to Zhang Juzheng.
"But Shi Yiwen has just returned from Nanyang, and he has made so many contributions to the court in the past two years, how can I bear to send him to a foreign land in Nanyang!"
If Zhiyuan knew, what would he think of himself? Do you feel like you're not a friend enough?
"Your Majesty, from the courtier's point of view, Shi Yiwen can be said to be loyal to Daming, and the minister thinks that he will definitely go! Besides......"
After a pause, Zhang Juzheng said.
"It's his home after all!"
Ewen Shi must go to Nanyang!
This is a secret move made by Zhang Juzheng for the future of the Zhang family, as long as there is Ziqi or Zixuan, he will try his best to protect the Zhang family, and of course he will fight for something.
In the minister's opinion, in addition to granting him the "Nanyang Propaganda Envoy" so that he can follow it from generation to generation, he can also be awarded the "Zhennan General" and set up 30,000 military tuns in Nantianmen, so he must naturally remember His Majesty's imperial grace and mighty ......"
The consolation envoy is a local official, the local official is hereditary, and the Tusi governs the Turkish army and the people, but the establishment of the military cantonment is the Han people, since this kind of adaptation is Zhang Juzheng's selfishness, it is also the future needs of the Nanyang consolation envoy, for Zhang Juzheng's suggestion, the ashamed Zhu Yijun will naturally not object, now, for him, the only thing to consider is how to give Shi Yiwen an explanation.
"I want to go!"
When he saw Zhu Yijun again, almost when he stammered that idea, Shi Yiwen replied directly.
"Zhiyuan ......"
Seeing that Shi Yiwen readily agreed, Zhu Yijun hesitated.
"You, you finally returned to Daming, I, how can I bear to let you go again, I, I will pick someone else......"
"Mingzhi, can you rest assured of the others?"
Smiling at the little emperor, Shi Yiwen said.
"Just like Shoufu said, I know the Nanyang best, since this is the case, no one is more suitable than me to preside over there, and the initial construction of the country, must involve a series of issues such as renting land and building cities, these problems may not be handled properly by others, although there is an old example of Nantianmen, but the soil country is not the same soil country, naturally can not be regarded as a generalization, the next five years, the minister must sail all day long in the South Seas, negotiation, build cities, it is inevitable to have conflicts with the natives or Westerners, others to do this, I can't rest assured either......"
After a pause, Shi Yiwen smiled at the little emperor.
"Besides, didn't we talk about it when we first met? Together, we create a prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty, which is easy to seal the South Seas, which is a beginning. ”
After that, Shi Yiwen said to Zhu Yijun.
"Your Majesty, the reason why the minister is willing to go is precisely because of his promise to His Majesty! Please also ask Your Majesty not to fall into dishonesty! ”
In the face of Shi Yiwen's answer, Zhu Yijun was even a little excited for a while, he stared at Shi Yiwen, his eyes couldn't help but be a little moist, who in the world is willing to leave the bustling capital and go to a foreign land full of barbarians, for Nantianmen, he has learned from other people, but it is an island full of insects and snakes, and even the local barbarians don't want that place to plant, but he is willing to go...... Go there for yourself!
After a long time, Zhu Yijun said.
"Zhiyuan, if you have more than ten years of work, do you think the local area can indeed become another Jiangnan?"
"Ten years!"
Shi Yiwen thought for a moment, and then said.
"As long as there are enough people, ten years at most, I think, even if it is not as good as Jiangnan, it is better than some counties in Yunnan!"
"I know ......"
Nodding slightly, Zhu Yijun said.
"Shi Yiwen listens to the ......"
