Chapter 613: Return
Chen Yue also knew that what he described was somewhat idealistic, but in fact, it was not until three or four hundred years later that China's national power returned to the top of the world, all kinds of inequalities were everywhere, and the privileged class still existed.
However, people must always have some ideals, and a country must also have ideals, so that the people will have a head start and be willing to follow. So many times a loud slogan is a must.
With a slogan and a goal, you can slowly move forward in this direction in the future, so that the country and society will gradually become better.
Gu Junen was very wise, and he quickly understood what Chen Yue meant, which was similar to what King Chuang Li Zicheng preached at the beginning, "King Chuang comes and doesn't pay for food". However, Chen Yue is not allowed to have a privileged class, and everyone will need to pay taxes in the future, which is different from the slogan of Shunjun.
Fairness, justice and equality are easy to say, but too difficult to do, according to this line of thought, there can be no privileged class in this country, such as the gentry class, which is absolutely not allowed to exist, so the imperial examination selection system cannot exist. In this regard, Chen Yue explained that officials can be integrated, and a large number of schools such as the Sailor School can be opened, and all kinds of talents can be selected from the school as junior officials, and then gradually promoted. In this way, it is possible to put an end to such non-commissioned officers who can only write eight shares and do not understand government affairs. In other words, as long as an ordinary official does well, he can become a feudal official! No matter how big an official is, he has to pay taxes according to the regulations, which is not negotiable. In this way, land annexation such as Daming can be prevented!
However, there is another question, that is, what should be done to these people who follow Chen Yue to fight the world? People work hard to fight the world, and in the end, they have to be the same as ordinary people, without any privileges, who can accept this?
Of course, you must give benefits to these people, otherwise who will fight the world with you. Chen Yue naturally knows this, and naturally rewards these people, and the title of land official should be rewarded according to merit, anyway, there are many islands and lands overseas, and it is not distressing to reward them. Of course, this will create a group of military meritorious classes, but there is no way to do it, there is no absolute fairness in this world. It can only be limited by later ideas, and not too many privileges are given to it.
According to Chen Yue's idea, the state should firmly control the rural grassroots, and it is absolutely undesirable for the imperial power to not go to the countryside like the Ming Dynasty, so as to increase the country's mobilization power. And all the start-ups after the establishment of Dongfan Island are suitable for the use of the new system.
In addition, there is the problem of the source of soldiers, according to Chen Yue's request, Dongfan Island will implement a national military service system in the future, and all men of appropriate age will need to serve in the army. Wait a minute......
Chen Yue told Gu Junen his requirements one by one, and left the establishment of the system to professionals, and now it is still in Nagasaki, the Japanese country, and Dongfan Island is still in the hands of the Dutch, and there is a time planning blueprint.
The sea ship sent by Wu Ping to report the news went back to Shandong, with Chen Yue's instructions to Wu Ping.
On Shengyue Island, Chen Yue ordered all ships and personnel to get ready, but waited for the monsoon to return to Zhoushan immediately.
Then Chen Yue asked people to call Li Guozhu.
"During this period of time, with the help of Lord Lao Li, everything went smoothly for my father in Nagasaki." Chen Yue thanked him solemnly.
"What did Grandpa Guo say, it is a blessing for the grass people to be able to cooperate with Grandpa Guo and Qiyun Firm." Li Guozhu said humbly. This cooperation with Qiyun Firm made him make a lot of money, and he was in a very happy mood.
"By the way, after Grandpa Guo returns to Daming, you must be careful of the revenge of the Dutch, the Dutch ships and guns cannot be underestimated!" After thinking for a while, Li Guozhu solemnly reminded. He is now deeply involved with Zhoushan, and he still wants to do business for a long time, but he doesn't want to see changes in Zhoushan.
Chen Yue nodded: "I'm from my province." However, it is also necessary to ask Li Bozhu to find out what is happening of the Dutch in Nagasaki and see how they will return to the main office. Chen Yue asked, this is also the purpose of him inviting Li Guozhu to come. In order not to leak the news, it is necessary to deal with the Dutch in Nagasaki first, so that they can attack the big man by surprise.
Li Guozhu naturally understood Chen Yue's intentions, nodded and said: "I will send someone to stare at the Dutch Pavilion, but don't have much hope, Grandpa Guo, you don't have much hope, the two Dutch ships were robbed by you, they will definitely be more careful, and most of them will take the Zheng family's sea boat back to Dayuan." ”
If the Dutch returned on the Zheng family's ship, things would be a little difficult to do, and Chen Yue would not have the confidence to be an enemy of the Zheng family now. In that case, as soon as he returned to Zhoushan, he would immediately attack the Dayuan in order to reap the effect of his surprise.
In the next few days, Li Guozhu sent people to stare at the Dutch Pavilion, and sure enough, he found that the Dutch and the Zheng family were very close, Nagasaki was the territory of the Japanese people, Chen Yue could not attack the Dutch, and when he arrived at sea, he could not use force against the Zheng family's sea ship, so Chen Yue gave up. began to prepare for the return to Zhoushan, purchased a large amount of food, as well as clean water, and was loaded on the sea ship one by one, it took half a month to travel from the Wa Kingdom to Zhoushan, and there was no place to supply along the way.
On November 6, the northwest wind rose, and the flags on the masts were blown and drifted to the southeast. All the preparations had already been prepared, Chen Yue immediately ordered to pull the anchor and set sail, and the fleet left Shengyue Island and headed southeast.
More than 20 three-masted ships sailed on the boundless sea, and the northwest wind of hunting urged the sails to ride the wind and waves with the ships.
Goto, hearing that the Qiyun Firm of Izuki Island had set off, Zheng Cai sighed heavily and ordered someone to inform the Dutch in Nagasaki.
These days, Zheng Cai has been very depressed, when Lu Yun begged him to let the Dutch return the stolen sea ship, Zheng Cai directly refused, and then Lu Yun begged to Qi Yun Firm, who knew that Qi Yun Firm actually attacked the Dutch and directly robbed the Dutch sea ship, this incident made Qi Yun Firm in the Ming Dynasty Maritime Merchants prestige greatly increased, Qi Yun Behind the Qi Merchant Chen Yue's prestige was widely spread among the maritime merchants, and on the contrary, the reputation of the Zheng family plummeted. Now when it comes to the Zheng family, the maritime merchants pouted one after another.
Your Zheng family has received so much silver from everyone, but you can't stand up for everyone at a critical time, everyone has a rod and scale in their hearts, and they all know who they can count on.
Because of this, Zheng Cai was depressed, but the number and strength of his ships in the Wa Kingdom were not as good as the Qiyun Firm, and the Qiyun Merchant colluded with Li Guozhu, so Zheng Cai had no way to take them, so he could only sulk by himself.
Now Zheng Cai has regarded Zhoushan as a threat to the existence of the Zheng family, and the Dutch who do not deal with Qi Yun's business naturally have to be good at wooing, limited to Zheng Zhilong and Chen Yue are both figures in the Ming officialdom, it is impossible for the Zheng family to attack Zhoushan directly, so the only way to kill people with a knife and use the power of the Dutch to deal with Zhoushan is Zheng Cai's idea.
