276 Yuwang
"I know that. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info but in the whole of Beijing, I'm afraid you are the only one who has seen him and understood him. Zhang Juzheng picked up the sorted documents and got up and said, "If you really don't stand with him, you must come up with a strategy to destroy the thief." ”
Yang Changgui exclaimed: "The lower officials are soft-spoken and stupid, and they dare not speak falsely about cabinet affairs. ”
Zhang Juzheng laughed and walked to Yang Changgui's side: "What are you afraid of, in front of King Yu, there is no lie." ”
This afternoon, there was an extra attendant in Yuwang's study.
Compared with most princes, the 27-year-old Yuwang is still quite young. Compared with most princes, King Yu is particularly melancholy, he should be called King Yu, and the reason for his depression is also very simple, although some people secretly call him the prince, but he has never been a prince, and his father doesn't like his mother at all, and he doesn't like him.
There were two princes in front of him, and the eldest brother Zhu Zaiji died two months after birth, and a prince was posthumously crowned.
The second brother Zhu Zaiyu was named the crown prince long before he was born, and he should have waited for the second brother to ascend the throne to be a down-to-earth prince, but the second brother also died many years ago.
It's my turn, and I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. But my father didn't seem to like God's arrangement, and he didn't make himself the prince, but only concentrated on cultivating, and everything dragged on, so he was called King Yu for 27 years. It is very likely that he will die inexplicably one day.
Being a low-key person and not causing trouble has become the principle of Yuwang. He knew very well that in terms of governing the country, whether it was the teachers of Guozijian or any Jinshi, they were all very clever than him, especially after listening to Zhang Juzheng's lecture for a year, he was even more convinced that it would be good to leave such an important matter of governing the country to these extremely smart people, and not to mess around.
Now Zhang Juzheng invited Yang Changgui to give a lecture together, and Yuwang did not have any opinions.
The three of them sat down, served tea inside, and after Zhang Juzheng hastily read the documents, he directly threw them aside: "There is no need to talk about this, King Yu can read it by himself." ”
Yuwang smiled, he liked such a teacher who did not leave homework.
"I'm not in a hurry to teach yet." Zhang Juzheng drank tea lightly and looked at King Yu gently, "Your Highness thinks that the southeast has a bad harvest and Moss Bay is strong, why is it here?" ”
"As the cabinet said, Moss Bay is sucking my Daming's flesh and blood."
"Why do you smoke it?"
"Moss Bay occupies the advantage of opening the sea, and the people and evil businessmen invest in it."
"He opened his sea, and the silver should go to the Ming Dynasty, why did the Ming Dynasty have a bad harvest? Moreover, in the land of Moss Bay Projectile, even if it is prosperous, the people are only a few hundred thousand, how can the three southeastern provinces of our country have no one to cultivate the land because of these? ”
"This ......" King Yu obviously can't think about it to this extent, and he doesn't intend to think about it to this extent, smart people will solve troubles, "I hope Uncle Da will make it clear." ”
Zhang Juzheng smiled and shook his head: "This, in fact, Weichen doesn't know." ”
He then turned to look at Yang Changgui: "But I think Yuan Jiu knows." ”
Yang Changgui said dumbly: "What the secretary doesn't know, how did the lower officials know." ”
"You are the closest relationship with Yang Changfan among all of them. As far as I know, there is still correspondence today. ”
Yang Changgui panicked when he heard this: "This matter ......"
"Yuwang here, there are no false words, no secrets, we close the door and open our hearts to talk about the world, and we don't have to cower for a long time." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile, "I know that it was Shoufu who asked you to communicate with Yang Changfan, and what you talked about was all about Zhao'an, and there was no suspicion of being a traitor." ”
King Yu also comforted him: "Yang can rest assured, whether it is the matter of the father or the first assistant, this king never says much. ”
"......" Yang Changgui looked at the two of them, very surprised by the scale of the conversation here, but still didn't dare to say anything, "After Yang Changfan recovered from his illness, I had limited time with him, so I couldn't say that I was very familiar. ”
"Then start with him picking up his wife and children and leaving Lihai." Zhang Juzheng stared at Yang Changgui and saw blood for a while, "Why don't you go?" ”
This time, Yang Changgui was not false at all: "Read Confucius and Mencius, do loyal and righteous deeds, for parents, for the community, for yourself, and the lower officials will not go." ”
"Well said." Zhang Juzheng clapped his hands and nodded, "Because of this, shouldn't you grasp the way of Moss Bay in your letters, or take it as a warning or a lesson to serve the court?" Now in front of King Yu, why bother to cherish yourself? ”
"Not bad." King Yu nodded and said, "It is said that Yang Changfan is a strange skill, but I don't think so." Even if it is a strange skill, there must be something to be desired, is Yang Shi willing to give some advice? ”
Yang Changgui swallowed and spitted, it seems that this level cannot be escaped.
Having said that, the prospective prince and his teacher have talked about this, and if they don't talk about it, they can't talk about it.
"Greed." Yang Changgui said two words on this, "According to Weichen's view, the so-called strange skills and tricks are nothing more than greed. ”
Zhang Juzheng nodded appreciatively: "Yes, go on." ”
"Opening the sea to trade, conquering the South Seas, conquering the East, selling spices and silver, all of which are life-threatening transactions, but they are enough to make people rich overnight. Before this, except for my Daming Imperial Examination, there was no such thing as a fish leaping dragon gate. And Yang Changfan set this precedent, even if he is penniless and illiterate, he can make a fortune if he goes to Moss Bay. Yang Changfan's so-called 'wealth is in contention', which is nothing more than to stimulate and satisfy people's greed in time, rather than honestly cultivating the fields and studying. ”
Yang Changgui saw that the two of them could listen attentively, so he took a sip of tea and continued: "Usually, greed represents danger, and going to sea is indeed a huge benefit, but it is also full of risks. But Moss Bay is different, under the rule of Yang Changfan, no matter whether the merchant is working, there is almost no risk, and after several battles with the Yi people, they have all won a great victory, and it is inevitable that the poor will rush to vote. ”
"It makes sense." King Yu nodded, "Uncle had another question before, why did the southeast fail to harvest?" ”
Yang Changgui smiled awkwardly: "My family used to be the landlord, and I know the thoughts of the fields best. If there is a year when the year is not good, and the crops are not harvested, several landlords will discuss and drag the grain together, and you will be convicted if you pay less grain alone, but if a village and a county all beg for less payment, the government has no choice but to start the court. ”
"Oh?" King Yu exclaimed, "Is there a disaster in the southeast this year?" ”
Zhang Juzheng laughed and said: "It's a good year, the wind and rain are smooth!" ”
"Then why is that? Aren't you afraid of death? ”
"It may be true that tenants have fled, some fields have not been harvested, and some villages have become deserted villages, but it is true, as Zhang Siye said, it should not affect the three major provinces. I am afraid that some landlords will take the lead and take advantage of this momentum to cry out for poverty, and if they are strictly investigated and convicted, they should be able to recover them. ”
"That's right, but it's more than that." Zhang Juzheng pursed his lips and said, "Moss Bay has been fighting and sailing for many years, although it also produces grain, but after all, there are few fields in this island, and it is still inevitable to buy it from the southeast." Both merchants and farmers knew that it was more cost-effective to sell grain to Moswan than to digest it locally, so they took advantage of the momentum of the fugitives to take risks and jointly fail to pay. The same is true of the situation in the southeast, where the country is poor and the people are rich. ”
"I see!" King Yu woke up like a dream and struck with both palms, "In this way, it is right that the southeast is strictly administering to put an end to smuggling and strictly chasing grain payments!" ”
Zhang Juzheng breathed a long sigh of relief: "It's not right, it's not wrong." ”
"Why?"
"Strict government, strict government...... Zhang Juzheng pursed his lips, "I have already let go of leniency, and I can't be strict anymore." As for those officials who have the ability to preside over strict governance, they have long been beaten away by the businessmen and wealthy clans, and the current situation, will the government be innocent? ”
"What does Zhang Siye mean......" Yang Changgui asked calmly, "Yan Zheng can't be successful at all?" ”
Zhang Juzheng chuckled and said, "This is what you said, but not what I said." ”
"......" (To be continued.) )
