There are two roads in front of Innocent, one is to kneel down and receive the order, and then hello, hello, hello, everyone, the Ming officially recognized the Holy See as a legitimate religion, and the Holy See also officially recognized the Ming as the Lord, and from then on it was the same as Buddhism and Taoism.

Or refuse to kneel, maintain the dignity of your own pope, and let the Europeans see that the Holy See also has hard bones!

However, it is a pity that although Innocent is unwilling in his heart, he still knelt down honestly on his knees, and said loudly: "Minister, Innocent, take the order!" ”

Cui Lu nodded approvingly, and then unfolded the holy decree and read it sentence by sentence.

The content is quite complicated, and the guys in the Ministry of Rites wrote it all over the text, and no one thought about whether Innocent could understand it.

In the words of Emperor Chongzhen, it is these old scholars of the Ministry of Rites who are complacent again.

Although Innocent, who was kneeling on the ground, did not understand what those extremely complicated sentences were expressing, he heard the sentence "Therefore, Innocent was canonized as a reverence for heaven and soothing the Tao of sincerity and spirituality, and was the pope of Western Catholicism".

As the last two words "Qin this" were read, Cui Lu folded the holy decree in half with a smile, and said to Innocent: "Mr. Innocent, take the decree?" ”

Innocent bowed again, and then said loudly: "Minister, Innocent, thank Your Majesty for your grace!" ”

After finishing speaking, Innocent got up from the ground, bowed and walked forward a few steps, took the holy decree from Cui Lu's hand, turned around and handed it to Cardinal Addison, and then said to Cui Lu: "Angels have worked hard from afar, the Holy See has prepared a dinner here, and I invite Lord Cui to appreciate it?" ”

Cui Lu smiled: "You're welcome, please." ”

Although Innocent didn't understand what kind of politeness this politeness was, Cui Lu stretched out his hand slightly to show that he understood, and immediately led Cui Lu towards the Holy See lobby.

For Innocent, everything is not a problem today, even if it is ridiculed by all Europeans, as long as his position as the Pope is recognized by the Ming Dynasty, especially the Thousand Households brought by Cui Lu behind him.

With this thousand households stationed in the Holy See, who in the whole of Europe can influence themselves? Those cardinal archbishops are willing to kneel and lick, let them kneel well, otherwise, they will not even be given a chance to kneel!

……

When Emperor Chongzhen arrived at Quanzhou Port, it was already the spring of Chongzhen's twenty-fifth year, and it had been twenty-five years since he crossed over.

How many twenty-five years are there in life?

At most, there may be four, at least there will be only two or three left, and the unlucky ones will probably have only one twenty-five years better.

If you exclude the time for eating, sleeping, enjoying and so on, the really useful time is about two or three years.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen cherishes the time after the crossing, because he has one more than twenty-five years than others - he was just over thirty years old before the crossing, and after the crossing, he became a teenager and less than twenty years old, isn't this a gift from God?

As for the air conditioning, WIFI, mobile phones, and the Internet in the future, bye-bye, although I miss you a lot, but I am very good in Daming......

The time after leaving Daming was nearly a year, and Quanzhou Port became a little strange to Emperor Chongzhen, although Emperor Chongzhen only came to Quanzhou Port once in his life.

When the "Son of Heaven" docked at Quanzhou Port, it was nothing, after all, Emperor Chongzhen drove here, and the fishermen could no longer go to sea through Quanzhou Port, and the entire port entered a state of martial law.

However, when the ban on martial law in the entire port was lifted the next day, Emperor Chongzhen finally saw what it means to compete for thousands of sails, and those who sail through the sea are the first.

Different from the strict order of the Ming Navy when sailing, the civilian ships sailed a lot more casually, as long as there was no collision between the two sides, they basically sailed as they wanted.

Pointing to the almost chaotic scene in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen frowned and said, "It's such a mess, the government doesn't care about it?" ”

Tian Sanshi, the governor of Quanzhou Prefecture, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, those who dare to go to sea at this time are basically old fishermen, although they look a little chaotic in front of them, but these experienced old fishermen know in their hearts, and they will take care of each other at sea, and there will be no problems."

When Wechen first took office, he also wanted to rectify the situation in the port, but later found that the efficiency of the government after rectification was not as good as letting them do it on their own, so Wechen gave up. ”

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Don't you feel that your official authority has been damaged, and you feel like you've been slapped in the face?" ”

Tian Sanshi said with a smile: "Back to Your Majesty, it was natural to have it at the beginning, but a person's official authority is naturally nothing compared to the livelihood of the people of the entire Quanzhou Mansion."

What's more, the people did not disobey the management of the government, but later the government let the people do their own thing, where can they be called slapped in the face by the people? ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded with a smile and said with a smile: "It's good that you can think like this." I remember that there is a sentence in the "Proverbs of the Decree", Erfeng Erlu, the people anoint the people, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to deceive, remember, remember. ”

Tian Sanshi bowed and said, "Yes, the minister wrote it down." ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded before he continued: "How is the livelihood of the people in Quanzhou Mansion now?" ”

When Tian Sanshi heard this, his face became a little strange: "Your Majesty, the people of Quanzhou Mansion are now more difficult to manage than before!"

In the past, it was more or less better, but some people relied on the sea to eat the sea, and some relied on the mountains to eat the mountains, and sometimes they fought because of the water or something.

As for now, a large number of people have simply stopped farming, and if the location is not good, they simply leave the fields there and do not cultivate, and many people choose to work in factories.

On the whole, Quanzhou's tax revenue this year will be higher than last year's, and it will be double that of ten years ago, which is simply unbelievable.

However, judging from the grain harvest, this year's annual situation is already considered to be rare and good in these years, but the harvest has dropped a lot, and compared with the previous year, it has fallen by half. ”

Emperor Chongzhen frowned and said, "What about the grain?" Is it enough to eat? ”

Tian Sanshi pondered and said: "There is always enough food to eat, not to mention those high-yield grains, even if you buy grain from Nanyang to eat, it is enough."

What Weichen is worried about is that people's hearts are moving, Quanzhou Mansion alone is already like this, if other places are the same as Quanzhou Mansion, I am afraid that the food will become insufficient in the future, and there will be no natural disasters at that time, but man-made disasters are inevitable. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and motioned for Tian Sanshi to continue.

After pondering for a long time, Tian Sanshi said: "Quanzhou Mansion has reprinted Chongzhen's 24-year book of persuasion of agriculture, and Chongzhen's 25-year book of persuasion of agriculture will also be printed in large quantities after it comes out, and then distributed to the people, but it is difficult for the minister to say what the effect is." ”

After taking a deep breath, Tian Sanshi continued: "If you want to solve these problems completely, you can either suppress the workshops opened by those merchants, or force the people to grow grain.

However, it is easy to suppress the workshop, but it will affect the tax revenue and force the people to grow grain, and I am afraid that the people will be dissatisfied and dull, and they will not be able to think of any good way for a while. ”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Let's let it go for the time being, take a look, the people will make a choice." ”

Emperor Chongzhen, who had been exposed to various forums and news in later generations, knew that it was the general trend for the common people to give up their land and choose to work - before the centralization of agriculture, no matter how they did it, the income of working would always be higher than that of digging in the fields.

This situation not only appeared hundreds of years later, with the further development of the industrialization of the Ming Dynasty, the emergence of this situation is also a matter of time, but it is only a few decades earlier than Emperor Chongzhen imagined.

But what can Emperor Chongzhen do to solve it?

As Tian Sanshi said, either suppressing the workshops or forcing the people to farm the land is actually not advisable.

As for raising the official purchase price of grain, it can be solved for a while, but it cannot be cured - high grain prices mean an increase in the cost of labor in the workshop, then an increase in the price of goods, and then it is estimated that inflation will be in the future.

Then there will still be a large number of people who choose to work because of the increase in wages.

Emperor Chongzhen also had a headache.

Since the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the development of the whole history has run to an unfamiliar lane, and it has become impossible for Emperor Chongzhen to play any corner overtaking.

After losing that historical knowledge, Emperor Chongzhen can only rely on the things mentioned in the starting point - and those who fight the streets seem to focus on killing people and setting fire to the world, as for how to govern a country, they are often only a few strokes.

The best way now is to let the people choose for themselves, those who are willing to farm will go to farm, and those who are willing to work will go to work, it does not matter whether the social system of the Ming Dynasty will complete its own adjustment, as long as the cabinet and the Central Pole Hall still exist, there will be a solution to this problem sooner or later.

After taking Tian Sanshi and others around the dock for a long time, the time has gradually passed noon, the sun is already a little westerly, and I don't know who shouted on the dock The ship is back, and the port, which was still a little silent before, suddenly became lively.

A few seabirds flew over, and the sea level in the distance became red as if it had been burned, and under the slightly dazzling light, small black dots emerged one after another, getting closer and closer to the location of the pier, and gradually became a complete fishing boat.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go and join in the fun and pick up a few fresh fish to go back." ”

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was in high spirits, Tian Sanshi also smiled and said: "Wechen accompanied Your Majesty to go together, don't hide it from Your Majesty, Wechen also has some experience in this easy-tooth technique." ”

Emperor Chongzhen smiled, and then took Tian Sanshi to the front of the dock.

The fishing boats of the most advanced port docked, and the merchants who were still taking them together just now suddenly turned their faces, squeezed forward one by one, waved the Chongzhen treasure money in their hands, and shouted: "The head fish belongs to me!" ”

Seeing Tian Sanshi looking at himself, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "Fresh ones have to be, let's not grab any head fish, and we won't compete with merchants for this lottery." ”

Several tax collectors struggled to squeeze through the crowd, and when they came to the fishing boat, they first greeted the boat boss, and then said, "Boss Wu, how is the catch today?" ”

The boat boss looked like he was in his forties, but he was shirtless in the slightly cold spring breeze, revealing the knotted bronze muscles of his upper body, stroking his beard and smiling: "Thanks to Master Hu, today's harvest is still good, and it is estimated that the villain will pay a lot of taxes." ”

After giving a thumbs up, the tax collector at the head smiled and said, "Look at how happy you are, the first ship returns to port, can the head fish be sold for a lot of money later?" ”

Boss Wu shook his head and said, "Today's head fish is not for sale." ”

The tax collector headed by him was stunned for a moment, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and sighed loudly: "This is not like you, Boss Hu, usually my clothes are torn, and I can't wait to buy a new one, and I still want to keep this fish for myself today?" The head fish, you can't beat it for ten taels of silver! ”

Not only was the tax collector stunned, but the other merchants were also anxious when they heard that Boss Wu didn't sell the head fish, and a shopkeeper dressed up suddenly shouted: "Boss Hu, how many years have we been friends, you don't sell this fish and I Drunken Immortal Building, I will go to your house to eat and drink at night!" ”

After snorting to the shopkeeper who spoke, Boss Wu spoke: "Today, my Wu Lao'er hit not only the head fish, but also the king of fish!" Such a fat big yellow croaker, I have never even seen it!

If the son happens to be stationed in Quanzhou today, my boss Wu wants to dedicate this fish king to the Son of Heaven, who of you dares to rob it, just come up and try! ”

As soon as Boss Wu's words fell, the merchants on the shore suddenly became dumb - in front of everyone's eyes, who dared to say that he had snatched this big yellow croaker?

Seeing that everyone else looked embarrassed, Emperor Chongzhen smiled faintly: "It seems that there is a blessing today." ”

Tian Sanshi glanced at Emperor Chongzhen unexpectedly.

Seeing that Tian Sanshi was a little puzzled, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "The people can have this thought, no matter what, they can't let the people chill." This fish, turn around and let people accept it, and you can't lose that Boss Wu. By the way, how much is this fish worth? ”

Tian Sanshi pondered: "The big yellow croaker is not worth a few dollars, there are some in the sea, and it can always be caught, but this big yellow croaker, which is more than a foot long, is worth a lot of money, not to mention two hundred taels of silver?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Three hundred taels, go back and reward him with three hundred taels of silver, I have received the intention of this fish, but I can't accept his fish in vain, let alone let the people lose." ”

After Wang Chengen bowed down, Tian Sanshi couldn't help but rub his hands and said with a smile: "Why don't you let Weichen handle this big fish?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen Zaitian Sanshi once again mentioned the issue of his own cooking, and couldn't help but say with some surprise: "Isn't it all about gentlemen who cook far away?" ”

Tian Sanshi's old face turned red, and he sneered: "Your Majesty said that you are laughing, it was all many years ago. ”

PS: Today's sacrifice to "The First Maniac of the Tang Dynasty", anyway, the book of a good friend, it's a pity not to use it to sacrifice to the sky!
