Chapter 179: Zheng Zhilong's Little Abacus
The words have been spoken, and Wu Minzhi has no fear.
Qian Mingyu chuckled twice, picked up the wine jug and poured another glass of wine for Wu Minzhi, and then poured himself a glass unhurriedly.
"Wu Yuanwai, who has said that you will be punished for your crimes, who doesn't know that today, what you hope for most is to change the law, and now the change of the law has become a major policy, and the sea ban also belongs to this kind of government affairs? Zheng Zhilong was recruited and became the chief soldier of the water division, and you have become a person who is very valued by the emperor, even if you break some laws, it will not be done, and the official will definitely not put these on paper, what the official thinks is a big deal, although Jiangnan is rich, but in the opinion of the official, the disaster in Shaanxi will continue, and when the real money and silver in the country are bought, it will be in short supply. Qian Mingyu sighed and said, picking up the wine glass and drinking it all.
Wu Minzhi was a little confused, he didn't know what he meant by saying so much to himself for Qian Mingyu? But thinking that his net worth is worry-free, he is relieved.
"Then Lord Qian, what can I do?" Wu Minzhi said straight to the point.
"I need you to write to the imperial court, let the emperor open a few passes along the coast, abolish the policy of buying and selling officials, and allow the people to take charge of the maritime affairs, go to sea to work, and trade with the rest of the overseas countries in exchange for food and firearms and other things that my Ming Dynasty is in short supply."
"What? Lord Qian, you think so badly, I, Wu, am just a grass people, and I want the emperor to abolish the policy of buying and selling officials, which will soon be equivalent to lifting the policy of lifting the ban on the sea, this is the law of the ancestors, and the new policy is in front of Zhang Gong, but the ban on the sea has lasted for more than 200 years, how can it be abolished overnight, and besides, this is a major national event, what is my identity, where is it my turn to speak, if you think from this, you should say to Li Ge Lao, and say it to me, the poor people, it will not help. Wu Minzhi opened his mouth and said, indeed, he was really shocked, this Qian Mingyu really took the wrong medicine and used himself as a gun, if he said it, the officials above the court, which would let him go, and he couldn't do anything to cause trouble.
"Wu Yuanwai, this ancestral law, to be honest, has existed in name only, are there few people who go to sea along the coast? A lot, we just want to put the overseas transaction on the bright side, Zheng Zhilong is an official general, and you also had some friendship with him in the early years, is it true that you don't want to get an official and a half-job? Qian Mingyu smiled.
Why did Qian Mingyu ask Wu Minzhi to say this, in fact, he also got a signal, but this signal was not from others, it was Zheng Zhilong from Fujian, all the things of Wu Minzhi were told by Zheng Zhilong, in order to force Wu Minzhi to comply, and Zheng Zhilong was also thinking about himself, although he was the chief soldier of the Fujian Navy Division, but there was also a Navy Admiral Jia Shi on the top of his head, after this Jia Shi arrived in Fujian, he purged the imperial court water division, and the power actually surpassed himself, and the thing that was even more threatening to his position was, Jia Shi has fought six naval battles, all of which are victorious, with a very high prestige in Fujian, and the imperial court has also rewarded him many times, in comparison, his position is a little embarrassing, he originally wanted to recruit himself to deal with pirates, but there is no room for his own play, in this way, not to mention the promotion and wealth, I am afraid that even the current position can not be kept, in desperation, I remembered the previous partner, Wu Minzhi, of course, I remembered Wu Minzhi is also because, Wu Minzhi donated hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and 50,000 but the news of the grain also spread to Fujian, In a trance, Zheng Zhilong had this idea, if the sea ban was opened, then the imperial court would rely more on the water master, and he would have a place to use, so he found the like-minded Qian Mingyu.
"Wu doesn't want to be an official, and he really can't do it." Wu Minzhi said and stood up. "If the adult insists on suing Wu, Wu will accept it."
"Wu Yuanwai, do you want to leave a name in the green history, do you want it, the family is ruined, anyway, it is all a death, why not fight, besides, the emperor is a rare saint and the king, and will seriously consider lifting the sea ban, if you succeed in playing, then the green history is destined to leave your name, even if the official did not understand the holy will and did not want to abolish the old system, but Wu Yuanwai should not forget that you just sent 100,000 taels of silver and 50,000 taels of grain to the victims of Shaanxi Province, this is all life-saving, you are so sympathetic to the difficulties of the court, The emperor will only issue an order to reprimand you for one or two sentences, and your fornication with foreign countries, this official will definitely not mention a word, and when the time comes, it will be beautiful to save your life. Qian Mingyu grabbed Wu Minzhi's heart, and his words were full of threats, so he had to let Wu Minzhi take a careful test.
After Wu Minzhi heard this, sure enough, his mind came alive, he was a businessman and knew how to prioritize, and he also knew that Qian Mingyu was determined to win, so he was helpless and sat down again.
Since the beginning of autumn, it has been bitterly cold in the middle of the night.
In the palace of raising the heart, Zhu Youzhen is still on the dragon case and looks at the recital of Shaanxi Li Shuo, the Shaanxi smuggling and collaborating with the enemy case is coming to an end, all the family property of the offender has been collected by the government, and the iron weapons handed over belong to the Northwest Battalion and the Shaanxi Guard, and a large amount of grain obtained is used for disaster relief in Shaanxi, speaking of this batch of grain, it is two-thirds of the stock of the Shaanxi government, this is a terrible number, Zhu Youzhen can't believe that if this batch of grain is really shipped out of the customs outside the customs to help Houjin, it will be used for disaster relief in Shaanxi at this time, It also allows Shaanxi disaster relief to breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhu Youzhen put down the piece in his hand and felt a little tired, at this time Wang Chengen stepped forward: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, let's rest early." ”
"Wang Chengen, do you say that this victory in Liaodong is the biggest joy for me in the Ming Dynasty in recent years?"
"Of course, the emperor, the great victory in Liaodong proves that the emperor is the chosen son, Kyushu is in the heart, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely have a long time in the country." Wang Chengen hurriedly said with a smile.
After listening to Wang Chengen's words, Zhu Youzhen laughed out loud: "Wang Chengen, Wang Chengen, you said that after you become the master of ceremonies and eunuchs now, the official words you say are one set after another." ”
"Your Majesty, what the old slave said is from the bottom of his heart." Wang Chengen argued.
"Okay, okay, the things in Shaanxi really worry me, sometimes, I think that if Shaanxi has not suffered a disaster, then after this great victory in Liaodong, the imperial court will have no worries, and it is not a fantasy to recover the homeland."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, there are clouds among the people, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you are still young, how long has it been?" Wang Chengen said with relief.
"How are Luo Yangxing and Li Shichao now?" Zhu Youzhen asked instead.
"Playing the emperor, the old slave passed a word to the old slave in the eyes of Jinyiwei, after Li Shichao became a fellow of Jinyiwei, Luo Yangxing alienated Li Shichao, although the two people did not show discord on the surface, but they were already separated from morality, but the old slave was puzzled, Li Shichao had some ability, but Luo Yangxing was a close minister of the emperor, why did he find an opponent for Luo Yangxing?"
