When the civil officials heard Luo Yangxing's words, they seemed to have been slapped by him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info They looked at Luo Yangxing angrily, as if they were going to eat him.

Liu Zongzhou said angrily: "Luo Yangxing! Do you know the consequences of teaming up with Li Zhi to deceive the Son of Heaven? ”

Zheng Sanjun shouted angrily: "Luo Yangxing, what benefits did Li Zhi give you?" You're going to help him fulfill this big lie? ”

Luo Yangxing was frightened by the threat of the two bigwigs in the court, and suddenly stammered, and was speechless to the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Youzhen frowned and said loudly: "Luo Yangxing, you are bold to say!" Tell the truth! ”

Luo Yangxing swallowed his saliva, and then he had the courage to say: "The news that came from Nanzhili Jinyi Wei a few days ago, according to the raw silk merchant who traveled to the East in Matsue Prefecture, Li Zhi's soldiers and horses bombarded the two major ports of Nagasaki and Edo, and indeed defeated the 120,000 Japanese army in Osaka last month. In the end, the Wa Shogunate surrendered completely, and it is said that it lost Lee Chik's silver, ceded Osaka to Lee Chik, and opened up five ports as free trade ports..."

Hearing Luo Yangxing's words, the civil officials collectively fell silent.

Li Zhi defeated the Wa Shogunate with the power of a town? How appalling is this?

Zhou Yanru didn't know if he couldn't pull his face, or if he really didn't believe this amazing news, he glared at Luo Yangxing and said: "Luo Yangxing, such a military event, you just listen to the words of an Oriental maritime merchant who is forbidden to go to sea?" Li Zhi is the best at creating public opinion, and since he is ready to lie, he will naturally hire a businessman who runs to the sea in Nanzhili to fabricate news and disrupt the public. ”

Hearing Zhou Yanru's strong words, Luo Yangxing didn't dare to say any more. After the first assistant Zhou Yanru came to power, he vigorously used the Donglin Party, and now the power of the Donglin Party is in full swing in the DPRK. The bigwigs of Donglin insisted that Li Zhi was lying, and if Luo Yangxing wanted to offend the Donglin Party, where would he dare to say it?

Zhu Youzhen saw that Luo Yangxing no longer spoke, and looked at Wang Dehua, the eunuch of the Dongchang palm print standing beside him.

In the past year, Zhu Youzhen felt that Jinyiwei was unusable, and vigorously strengthened the manpower of the East Factory. Nowadays, the direction of Tianjin is also the focus of the East Factory.

Wang Dehua arched his hand and said: "Shengshang, what Li Zhi played, I think it's true." ”

The faces of the civil officials sank, and they collectively looked at Wang Dehua who was standing next to the throne.

Wang Dehua said: "In the past two months, according to the reports of my personnel at the Dagu wharf, Li Zhi has brought back an astonishing amount of rice from the Wa Kingdom, with millions of stones. Not only that, Li Zhi also shipped back a large amount of silver from Japan this month, the amount is unknown, but the boxes are accumulated, at least a few million taels. ”

"The rice and silver are real money, and they can't be filled. If it hadn't been for the complete defeat of the Wa Shogunate, how could there be such a rich spoil? ”

After listening to Wang Dehua's words, the civil officials in the court finally had nothing to say. In the face of the facts, it would be ridiculous to argue without reason.

Liu Zongzhou's face turned red, he looked at the Son of Heaven embarrassedly, said no more, and silently retreated into the civil official queue.

Zheng Sanjun was also very embarrassed, coughed hard, coughed again, and finally didn't know if he was really out of breath or wanted to hide his embarrassment with coughing, he actually coughed violently. He bent over and coughed as he retreated into the civil service, embarrassed.

Zhu Youzhen smiled and asked Zheng Sanjun, "Zheng Sanjun, why are you coughing so badly, but you want the Imperial Doctor Xuan to check your pulse?" ”

When Zheng Sanjun heard the question of the Son of Heaven, he suddenly cleared his throat and stopped coughing, and said very funny: "The minister is fine!" ”

Hearing Zheng Sanjun's words, several of the chief soldiers of the Beijing camp couldn't help but laugh. In recent years, the Ming Dynasty's culture of literature and martial arts has become weaker and weaker. Now that the status of the general soldier is getting higher and higher, he can already protest with the governor's chamber. Li Zhi is a military attache after all, Li Zhi is in the limelight, and other military attaches also feel raised eyebrows.

Zheng Sanjun glared at the chief soldiers angrily, and finally made the military attachés stop laughing.

In the end, Shoufu Zhou Yanru stood in the middle of the court, and his face was very unbearable.

However, Zhou Yanru is a veteran of officialdom and has no stage fright to deal with this kind of scene. In front of everyone's eyes, Zhou Yanru laughed, shook his head and said, "Old, the minister is really old." I can't imagine that Jin Guogong is so brave and good at fighting, it really makes the old man unexpected, admire, admire! ”

Turning around a little stiffly, Zhou Yanru said to the military generals of the Beijing camp who had just laughed at Zheng Sanjun: "Li Zhi, the Duke of Jinguo, is really a model for my Ming military attaché!" ”

This week, Yanru's face suddenly changed, and he held Li Zhi so high, which made several general soldiers in the Beijing camp unable to laugh.

Zhou Yanru was halfway through his words, and suddenly said loudly: "The minister pleads for the Duke of Jinguo, and may the Son of Heaven give a reward, so as to show the merits of the Duke of Jinguo and promote his overseas merits." ”

Zhu Youzhen was stunned when he heard this, and secretly said that Li Zhi went to Japan to loot, and the wealth obtained was not handed over to the imperial court, and the imperial court still wanted to reward Li Zhi? Zhu Youzhen scolded Zhou Yanru a few words in his heart. But now Li Zhibing is strong and strong, and Zhu Youzhen is only enveloped. At this time, in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, Zhu Youzhen could not help but express his appreciation for Li Zhi.

After thinking about it, Zhu Youzhen said lightly:

"The public of Tianjin has raised its prestige overseas, and the name of the country has been greatly increased, and the credit is rewardable."

"A pair of Li Zhisha hats, a golden rhino belt, a pair of red Luo clothes, four silk horses, four Luo horses, and ten silk cloths!"

"Zheng Kaicheng, Li Laosi and Zhong Feng, the generals of the Chinese army, followed the meritorious service of the Duke of Jinguo and were promoted to the deputy general of the Chinese army, and they are still in charge of the division of the Duke of Jinguo. Zheng Kaida, a guerrilla at sea, was promoted to a maritime general, and was still in charge of the overseas affairs of the Tianjin Guogong. ”

On 19 February, Li Zhi received a commendation decree from the Son of Heaven in Tianjin.

Unexpectedly, he didn't send spoils to the Son of Heaven after the war against Japan, but the Son of Heaven waved his pen, but he promoted four of his subordinates. Moreover, the Son of Heaven also rewarded himself with clothes and hats and silk.

Li Zhiyi was happy and wrapped eighty taels of silver for the eunuch who announced the decree. The eunuch took a closer look at the silver and found that it was the "Ding Yin" with good quality in the Japanese Kingdom, and he smiled happily.

Seeing the eunuch's movements, Li Zhi's face moved slightly.

After sending the eunuch away, Li Zhi thought for a while and said, "This silver is really not useful. Not to mention that it is not easy to divide the heavy carrying, but the fineness of these different pieces of silver is also different, which is very confusing. ”

Zheng Kaicheng was happily promoted, looking left and right with his new official uniform, and he was smiling happily. Zhong Feng sat on the side and only laughed at the excited Zheng Kaicheng, and the two kept arguing. Neither of them paid attention to Li Zhi's casual remarks.

Although Li Laosi was promoted to deputy general, he was still like water, and said in a deep voice: "Boss, now only silver is the best use." If you use copper coins, it is too heavy, and the copper coins have always weighed a few catties, and if you bring ten copper coins, you will be pressed with dozens of catties of money. It is too difficult to divide it with gold, and if you eat a bowl of noodles in a tavern, it costs half a penny, and if you settle it with gold, it will only cost five cents of gold, and you will not be able to cut such a little gold. If you shake your hand slightly, you have to cut a few more or a few less centimeters. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "We want to build a bank and issue banknotes!" For the benefit of the people. ”
