Hearing Xu De's appreciation, Wang An's face also showed a smile, and he hurriedly said: "The child doesn't dare to disappoint his godfather!" Waiting until Xu De nodded, Wang An continued to speak.

"The child came to Haojiang this time and found out a lot of news."

Then Wang An told the news of his investigation, about Spain and Portugal, and the purpose of these people. In the end, Wang An made a summary, a very incisive summary.

"These Yangyi people, they do things unscrupulously, many of them are criminals or robbers when they come to our Daming, and many of them can't survive on their side, so they came to our Daming from thousands of miles away."

"They don't pay attention to our side of things, they only have money in their hearts."

"The child also heard about one thing, that is, these Portuguese in Haojiang, when our Ming Dynasty fought with the Japanese Invaders, the Japanese Invaders' firearms were sold by them."

"As long as these people have money, they dare to sell anything."

Qi Jiguang didn't pick up what he said, in fact, Da Ming also bought a lot, otherwise where did the Franco cannon come from? It's true that these people don't have a sense of right and wrong, but there is always a group of uneasy and well-meaning people here, I'm afraid it's not a good thing.

Qi Jiguang had already made up his mind in his heart, and when he went back, he would definitely suggest to His Majesty that those Portuguese be driven away.

"The child also inquired about something." Wang An continued: "It seems that the Japanese are coming south, and it seems that they have fought with the Portuguese several times, and the children listened to the Portuguese cursing and selling firearms to the Japanese people. ”

Qi Jiguang snorted coldly, obviously disdainful of the Portuguese's approach.

It's just that Qi Jiguang doesn't have a good impression of the Wa Kingdom, and he will never say anything to the Wa Kingdom.

The compilation of information was quickly completed, and the information obtained by Xu De and Qi Jiguang in Fujian could take care of each other, and both Qi Jiguang and Xu De were relieved.

"Godfather, the boy brought back a Portuguese." Wang An saw that his godfather and Dingbei Hou were very satisfied, and added another sentence.

"Portuguese?"

Xu De and Qi Jiguang glanced at each other, both of them became interested, and asked, "Tell me, what kind of Portuguese." ”

"Yes, godfather!" Wang An hurriedly replied: "In fact, the Portuguese have been doing business here in Daming all these years, and they have a religion, which is similar to our Buddhism and Taoism. ”

"People who believe in this sect are called monks, just like our monks and Taoists."

"These people have always wanted to preach in our Daming, but the officials everywhere don't like them and always drive them away, they can't enter our Daming at all, and the person the child brought back this time is a monk."

"His name is Matteo Ricci, and he knows the Portuguese, the Spaniards and the Dutch."

Qi Jiguang and Xu De glanced at each other, but they didn't expect Wang An to do such a thing. But it's good to have such a person, you can ask for something, but Wang An has a heart.

"Very good, I'll meet Master Hou and him later." Xu De said with a smile.

As for introducing this monk to the emperor, Xu De and Qi Jiguang did not have such thoughts. Not to mention that he is a foreign monk, these monks and Taoists of the Ming Dynasty are not good.

Emperor Sejong believed in Fangshi, and the alchemy and medicine were in an uproar.

Whoever dares to make these messy things again, our emperor is wise and martial, and has great ambitions, and whoever dares to sacrifice these things must not be drowned by someone who spits on the stars.

Others didn't dare to say it, but Xu De and Qi Jiguang didn't want to touch this thing.

There is no shortage of holy grace in both of them, what is the benefit of doing this, there is no harm but no benefit, who would be stupid enough to do such a thing.

Matteo Ricci didn't take Ricci too seriously here, but Matteo Ricci himself took himself very seriously, and in Ricci's view, this was a big opportunity for himself, an opportunity for the glory of the Lord to shine on this vast land.

I have been preaching for so many years, and I have come to Daming for so many years, but I have not made much progress in my mission.

In fact, not only himself, but before him, several bishops had come to this land to preach, and the result did not end well, and basically all of them were driven out.

Matteo Ricci has also tried in all directions, but with little success.

But this time was different, after learning that the young man was the chamberlain of the Ming Emperor, Matteo Ricci was immediately excited. If you can meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and get the support of the Ming Emperor, then there will definitely be no problem with preaching!

Since leaving Portugal, I have been to India, to the Japanese country, each place has been for a long time, everywhere is a legend of the Ming country, how rich, how powerful, this time I must have the opportunity to see this scene.

"Lord bless me, Amen!"

In his courtyard, Matteo Ricci drew a cross on his chest, asking his Lord to bless him so that he could spread the glory of the Lord in the land.

The case of the Zhen family in Fujian soon came to an end, Xu De and Zhao Lian gave Zhu Yijun an excerpt, and Qi Jiguang was preparing to inspect the coastal guards, which was also the task given to him by the emperor.

Let's see if the coastal guards are still usable after a few years without war.

Quickly entered the capital, Zhao Lian and Xu De waited for the will of the imperial court here.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

After entering April, the big thing in the imperial court is spring ploughing, and there is nothing more important than spring ploughing. Fortunately, God opened his eyes, and there have been a few rains these days, which has alleviated the drought.

As the so-called spring rain is as expensive as oil, it is said that this is the time.

God opened his eyes to rain, which made Zhu Yijun's mood a lot better, and he was not so irritable when he watched the performance. Reaching out to pick up a notebook, he found that it was from Fujian, and Zhu Yijun's eyes were glazed.

This is a joint effort between Zhao Lian and Xu De and Fujian Governor Dong Chengwu, and it is obvious that Fujian's case has come to an end. I opened it and took a look, and sure enough, there was a result.

The case itself is nothing, and Zhu Yijun of the Zhen family doesn't care too much.

On the contrary, what is reflected behind the case, the Portuguese and Spaniards are in decline, and the Dutch are about to rise, and it is estimated that they will run to Asia in the next two years.

Then came the British and the French, and the whole of Asia would become their hunting ground.

Zhu Yijun wanted to insert a foot in this very, very much, but Zhu Yijun knew that now was not the time. Daming's foundation has not been laid yet, and it has not been solidified, but it is not too late.

When the Dutch come, it's too late to intervene themselves, and besides, they still have a Japanese country to fight.

Take the fold, Zhu Yijun drew a circle on it, just handle it as usual, just hand it over to the cabinet, kill it when it should be killed, and distribute it when it should be distributed, there is nothing to say.

Zhao Lian and Xu De's affairs are naturally not over, since they have all arrived in Fujian, let's sweep it along the coast!

All the gentry who are in harmony with the Japanese should be arrested, and by the way, the matter of Fushou paste will be spread, and then they will be able to legislate. Of course, this is also a palliative rather than a root cause, and the main thing is to control the source.

When he took Southeast Asia and occupied the production area, he was able to control the trade of Fushou cream.

The things in the southeast have also reached this point, and it is basically impossible to continue to do it, and my attention should also be turned back from this aspect to some points that I should pay attention to.

Not to mention the rest, it is time for Wang Yongji to return to Beijing, and it is time for the restructuring of Shuntianfu to begin.

The training of civil servants is almost complete, and the results of the trial in Daxing are also very good, and the civil servants of this phase should take up their posts immediately, and all they need to do is to arrange them to Shuncheonfu.

In addition, the first batch of civil servants were promoted, and it was time for them to be promoted.

Although it has not yet been three years, I can't wait for the third year, and I need to give them a way out and let them see hope. Otherwise, three years later, the first batch of civil servants may not be good.

After Wang Yongji returned to the capital, the commercial tax of Shuntianfu should be put on the agenda.

As for changing the tax system of commercial tax, Zhu Yijun is not ready to do it for the time being, so he will collect it according to the 30 tax. The 30 tax has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for so many years, and it is easy to cause problems if it is changed rashly.

Second, the initial tax collection should be considered for those small merchants, if the tax is raised, it will make it difficult for them to make their progress.

For the current Zhu Yijun, it is enough to collect the business tax, as for the rest, that is a matter for the future. The tax reform will definitely be changed, but it is not appropriate to combine the tax collection tax with the tax reform.

If you want to do this, a yamen who maintains law and order and patrols the streets is essential.

This is similar to the yamen of the city management and police in later generations, in fact, there is one in the Ming Dynasty, that is, the imperial history of patrolling the city.

The Imperial History of the Patrol City is subordinate to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is responsible for inspecting the public security management, trial of lawsuits, and arresting thieves in the eastern, western, southern, northern, and central five cities of the capital.

Each city has a division of soldiers and horses, and each division is divided into two squares. It is managed by the Imperial Governor of the Five Cities.

Although this yamen exists, but in the capital, their power is too small to be on the stage, Zhu Yijun wants to change this status quo, and he must raise the status of the imperial history of the city patrol.

When the time comes, they will be responsible for cleaning up the streets and supervising the eating and taking.

In fact, one of the problems that the Ming Dynasty had to face in collecting commercial taxes was the share of money, whether it was the Shuntian Mansion Yamen or the Dongchang Jinyi Guard, collecting the share of the money has become a routine.

However, there are not many gangsters on the street who collect money, and it has a little to do with those who do business on the ground like the capital.

If you don't solve the problem of eating and taking cards, the pressure on merchants will be great, and once they are collecting business taxes, then there will be people complaining. But if you solve the problem of eating and taking cards, then the pressure on them to pay taxes will be much smaller.

It may not be possible to completely eradicate it, but at least it is not as blatant as it is now, and it is not as open-minded as it is now, and if you don't do something shady and shady, you don't need to take money to bribe them.

Picking up the pen, Zhu Yijun began to write down a work plan for himself.

In the first place is the civil service system of Suncheonfu, the second is the issue of commercial taxation, and the third is the establishment of public ownership of land in Suncheonfu and the liquidation of private occupation.

Finally, Zhu Yijun added a point, which is very crucial.

The current situation of the Ming Dynasty is mine, the imperial court cannot interfere, and it is not possible to collect taxes, even if it is a mine, which Zhu Yijun absolutely cannot tolerate.

It is necessary to confirm the right, and what you have the title deed is yours, and if you don't have it, it is the court's.

Take my mine to open a mine, and then I collect a little mining tax, and you still push back and block, it's just hateful. When all the mines were recovered, he created a mining company through the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Enterprises owned by the royal family, which allowed merchants from all over the country to take shares in the contract, wanted to be the same as before, and there were no doors.

Zhu Yijun is ready to build a model in Shuntianfu, and then promote it. After years of improvement and cultivation in Huangzhuang, the land, sweet potatoes and corn have reached the possibility of large-scale planting, and they must vigorously promote new crops.

Take Suncheonfu as an example, become a place where everyone wants to move in, everyone wants to live here, since it is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it must be like the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the cement road should be repaired as soon as possible, and then trees should be planted on the side of the road.

The more Zhu Yijun thought about it, the more excited he became, and the comparison in his hand didn't stop until Zhang Whale came to call, and Zhu Yijun stopped.

Looking at the time and touching his stomach, Zhu Yijun found that he was really a little hungry. Let Zhang Whale pass on lunch, Zhu Yijun eats very sweetly, and everything he eats when he is hungry is fragrant.

"You asked someone to pass on the Shuntianfu Yin, and then he came to see me."

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Whale and said.

"The old slave will let people go!" Zhang Whale didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly agreed, turned around and went out to find someone.

The current Shuntian Mansion Yin, whose name is Zhang Guoyan, is a person from Beizhili, a Jinshi in Jiajing for 41 years, and was first awarded the Xiangling Zhixian County, and later promoted to the military department. Then moved to Shanxi to participate in politics, Shaanxi right political envoy, Jiangxi left political envoy.

Outstanding political achievements, in the ninth year of Wanli promoted to Shun Tianfu Yin.

This person Zhu Yijun has been paying attention to him, and he fell into Zhu Yijun's eyes when he was serving in Shaanxi, this person is not an official who can make people amazing, nor is he the kind of official who can do beautiful things.

Zhang Guoyan is the kind of honest official, who does things in a down-to-earth manner every day, does his best, and does things well as the first priority.

Because his family was poor when he was a child, Zhang Guoyan knew the hardships of the people, and after becoming an official, he did not go to extort money because of being an official, but was able to uphold his heart and want the people to do something.

This is a little-known, but very down-to-earth official.

You say that he has any shining points and you can't see them, but if you leave things to him, you can feel at ease and know that he will definitely do a good job for you. Such an official is not easy to find, Zhu Yijun cherishes it very much.

This time it's time to use him, and Zhu Yijun is ready to talk to him.

In fact, Zhu Yijun has crossed paths with Zhang Guoyan twice in the past two years, basically Zhang Guoyan complained about the suffering of the people and asked the court to treat the people well, but he couldn't think of any measures to promote the good and eliminate the bad.
