Chapter 149: Invasion of Little Japan

When he heard about himself, Shen Xing instantly became interested, listening to the tone of the boss, in the state of supervising history and supervising the people, there were still people secretly playing tricks, and they were at the feet of his own Jingshi.

"Listening to the boss's tone, it seems that there are a lot of dissatisfaction with government officials! Young Master Ben heard that Shen ** hated corrupt officials to the core, and the means of punishment were also ruthless, could there be any officials in this capital who dared to defy the law! ”

The little boss looked at Shen Xing and shook his head slightly, and then smiled meaningfully, "Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, this is an eternal truth, Shen ** is sympathetic to the people, light forced labor and reduced taxes, and does not tolerate corrupt officials at all, which everyone sees, and the officials are therefore cautious, but they can't resist the temptation of white silver!" ”

The boss poured himself a glass of water, drank a few sips, wiped his mouth and said. "Shen **'s anti-corruption efforts are strong, but the benefits for officials are not small, just take this ordinary food and drink, but it is reimbursed by the government, so there are policies and countermeasures. Why are the small shops scared of being eaten, because they all make white slips, and they only settle the bill once a month or even half a year! My little master, how can our small business withstand such a Zhou Teng. Do you know what they do with the money? ”

"How?" Shen Xing and the dog asked in unison.

"Naturally, it is used for private lending! This change of hands is a three-point profit for nothing, and it is reasonable and legal! Those officials now dare not embezzle, but there are means, those veterans who have been discharged from the army, which of the monthly welfare subsidies is not delayed, and as long as the business between merchants is related to the government, which is not before and after, but the cash is exchanged for gifts and daily expenses, why not eat and drink, and send some wine? Shen ** He can't control it, can he? In fact, compared with the Ming Dynasty, this is already a world of difference. Our little people know enough! ”

"You who have suffered a thousand knives, you don't want to die, you are full of blind turuges, and you don't want to serve wine and food quickly. A few objective let you wait, this is the signature dish of the shop, braised carp, please use it slowly! ”

As soon as the proprietress opened her mouth, the little boss hurriedly stood up and retreated with a smile, and repeatedly waved at Shen Xing and them, and Shen Xing smiled awkwardly and returned the salute.

After eating this meal, Shen Xing had no taste at all, he didn't expect that this new policy had only been implemented for less than two years and was full of loopholes, fortunately, he heard it with his own ears today, otherwise it would take less than ten years for the entire Chinese Empire to repeat the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty if it continued to develop according to this trend.

Originally, I thought that everything would be fine if I set up a mechanism for the supervision of the people, but I never dreamed that the people's tolerance would be so wide, as long as it did not hurt their vital interests, it would be better to have more than one thing, and that is to say, this kind of laissez-faire will make officials find an opportunity to drill into the eyes of money. What a blessing in misfortune! At this time, it is especially late to find out that the dead sheep are remedied.

"Dog, you report the matter here to the People's Committee, let them quickly check themselves, if there is any unclean under them, deal with it as soon as possible, fortunately, there is no public resentment, even if Young Master Ben gives them a chance today, in addition, you inform Zhang Yuliang, and he will take the lead in selecting a group of enthusiastic students to form a secret investigation team to inspect the country. In addition to collecting the necessary information, you must also strictly investigate corruption and the diligence of officials, and remember that you only have the right to investigate. ”

When the dog closed the notebook and was about to send someone out, Shen Xing hesitated and called the person back.

"Dog, you and Wangcai and others I believed, but the people below will inevitably have variables, you have to give a strict order, my brother-in-law Luo is the same, and your master, but if there is abuse of power, once it is found that it is not spared, you will inform your wife and ask her to arrange some people to investigate secretly, and the four parties will supervise and cooperate with each other!"

The dog pondered for a moment, then nodded heavily. Shen Xing meant that big things were turned into small things, and small things were turned into small things, after all, things can't be done overnight, and people's selfishness can't be changed overnight, but what he didn't expect was that the guys in the People's Committee were much more decisive than him. Less than three days after the news was sent, the whole country set a deadline for a vigorous anti-corruption campaign.

Big and small officials were severely punished as long as they had the slightest bad deeds, although there was no scene of people falling to the ground, but tens of thousands of officials were exiled to Hainan to grow grain. Shen Xing looked speechless, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it, he knew that many of his previous actions had already scared the guys in the committee.

Such a big move is just to make a stand to himself, but in this way, Shen Xing thought that as long as his banner did not fall for decades, at least the officialdom of the Chinese Empire would be able to disappear for decades, and with so much buffer time to study and explore, are you afraid that it will not be good to change? When the water is clear, there is no fish, Shen Xing also understands this truth, take your time.

In order to remember the names of various places in Joseon Province, Shen Xing also changed them to some names that he was familiar with in later generations, and Pusan was the most newly planned coastal port city, which was not only a gathering of maritime merchants, but also an important naval stationing base.

Ever since the war plan against Japan was put on the agenda, there has been a surge of soldiers and horses and warships coming and going every day. People with a little business acumen even squeezed their heads to drill here. Blue-haired and blue-eyed foreign devils, native-born Koreans, inland merchants, and even Arabs thousands of miles away all want a piece of the pie from this grand battle.

Shen Xingzhi is also happy to see such behavior, as long as it is not the collusion between officials and businessmen, the resale of military secrets, or the deliberate increase in prices to make war money, these mercenary guys still greatly save the manpower of the state to allocate materials in a unified manner, as long as they allocate money to stand at the dock and shout at it, whether it is grain, cloth, vegetables, melons and fruits...... That's everything.

"Xing'er, didn't you say before that you would let your father supervise it? Why still can't I rest assured! On the dock, Shen Xing looked at this lively scene and smiled happily, Zheng Zhilong took Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao The two brothers also sat down at Shen Xing's small table after riding a horse to inspect it.

Zheng Sen poured tea for his father and uncle very discerningly, Shen Xing clapped his hands after knocking the last few melon seeds and picked up the teacup and said, "Father-in-law, you are too careful, I came to North Korea to make a scene, the women in the family are really annoying, I came here secretly, how should you fight, don't worry about me, you and the two uncles are experts in this sea matter, and I am a layman purely as an apprentice!" ”

"Big brother, what did I say before I came, Xing'er was pulled by Sen'er to play, is he learning from the previous emperor's micro-service for a private visit? Do you know how many officials were laid down some time ago? Did you go to Japan and didn't see it...... Zhibao and I are scared. This kid doesn't recognize his six relatives! ”

Zheng Zhihu patted Shen Xing as he spoke, and Shen Xing denied it with a smile. "I think Xing'er did the right thing, we didn't care about it before, now the rivers and mountains of the Chinese Empire were built by Xing'er, do you want to let those moths be ruined, Sen'er, you are more like your righteous brother to learn a little, in the future, our Zheng family will also be your master sooner or later, if you want to distinguish the priorities, you have to make a move!" And you two brothers look at the people who are low-handed, don't open your eyes when you see money, are we still short of those three melons and two dates? Just think about what Xing'er said The money is earned, how much can be robbed. ”

Shen Xing held back his laughter and kept playing with Zheng Sen, Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao nodded again and again after being taught a lesson. "Father-in-law, I heard that Japan is now managed by the second generation of Tokugawa Ieyasu on the bright side, and the strength of the Tokugawa shogunate should not be underestimated! With all the fanfare we have now, they may have gotten the news a long time ago. ”

Zheng Zhilong stroked his beard and nodded approvingly, his eyes were quite solemn. "You're right, my wife, the Tagawa family, has sent someone to send back the news that the Tokugawa shogunate has recruited soldiers nationwide at the moment, and it seems that the whole country is going to resist desperately. But Xing'er, you don't need to worry about your father-in-law, but this time he used 500 new warships. Thirty steel cannons per ship, you think about the scene when you see it! ”

Shen Xing turned around and looked at the black pressure on the sea, and was also shocked by this powerful scale. The 100,000 Marines alone mobilized 300,000 soldiers from North Korea. Together with the original 100,000 pirates of the Zheng family and the 80,000 cavalry of Manchuria Province that had undergone training in March, the total strength reached 580,000.

You must know that Japan, which claims to have fought for more than a hundred years, is less than half of them in the Warring States Period, Shen Xing recalled that the two expeditions of the Yuan Dynasty to Japan were blown over by typhoons at sea, and he felt funny, I really don't know if it was Japan's fate or the Yuan Dynasty's brains were filled with water.

Now he wants to see if the opponent is replaced by an old pirate like Zheng Zhilong, and whether the kamikaze that Japan has boasted about for hundreds of years will be so powerful. "Father-in-law, Japan is blessed by a kamikaze, don't you want the gutter Li to capsize and be completely wiped out by that kamikaze!"

"Fart, Kublai Khan of the Yuan Dynasty is also a fool, so the big brother empire doesn't even know how to avoid typhoons, they deserve to be unlucky, you can put a hundred hearts at this point, some of the old seamen in our team can smell the smell of the sea with their noses, okay, you and Sen'er will have a good time here, and I will call you when we set off one day, this Busan seafood is good, and the girl is also watery, have fun!"

After Zheng Zhilong finished speaking, he got on his horse and rushed onto the warship not far away, and Zheng Sen's little eyes, which were unrestrained, flickered. "Big brother, how to appreciate the style of exotic beauties, my father is rare to let go once, let the little brother touch your light today!"

Although Shen Xing's eyes were full of contempt, his body was indeed very honest, and he moved after being pulled by Zheng Sen a few times.

Half a month later, the army set off, and the wharf was filled with the ceremony of sacrificing three animals to the sea, and 100,000 marines drove 150 warships towards Fukuoka and Nagasaki in Japan. The Tokugawa shogunate's emergency deployment of warships was only a few dozen, and the hulls and artillery equipment were far behind the Chinese navy.
