Chapter 117: Australia

The reasons for insisting on returning to Daming were much more sufficient, and in the end everyone reached an agreement to send a frigate and two merchant ships to find Jinshan first, and the rest of the ships returned to Daming. As for the map to Jinshan, everyone unanimously agreed to give it to a respected person to keep.

Although they all thought that the pirate was Li Dan, and the biggest pirate in this sea area was indeed Li Dan, but in fact, the person who led the team was not Li Dan, but Yan Siqi. Yan Siqi spent a lot of money to recruit 10,000 soldiers from the guards in Daming, and now they are all training in Xiaoliuqiu.

And everything that happened today was designed by Zhu Youxiao, although it increased the risk of exposing himself, but he still did it. After Yan Siqi received Zhu Youxiao's order, he decided to take charge of this matter personally.

The reason why Zhu Youxiao decided to do this, firstly, was that Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan raised such a huge amount of money for him, Zhu Youxiao was really a little unable to do it, he decided to send the two to the West and let the two of them play their role in the West;

The second is to prepare for the future invasion of Australia, which has just been discovered by Westerners, and Westerners have not yet had time to colonize Australia. The map that Zhang Hui handed over was actually a map to Australia, and it was drawn by Zhu Youxiao himself, of course, the level drawn by Zhu Youxiao can be imagined, this map can definitely only be said to be impressionistic, but Zhu Youxiao believes that under the stimulation of Jinshan, the people of Daming will definitely be able to find Australia.

More than any other words, saying that Australia has a mountain of gold is definitely the most effective and the most tempting.

The third is the development of water divisions, and now the development of water divisions is Zhu Youxiao's money, except for Zhu Youxiao's strong support, in fact, there are not many other supporters. Now that Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan have been robbed, this means that the more than 100 million taels of gold mining fees raised by Ming merchants, landlords, officials and others are likely to be wasted.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, and now that the money is gone, I don't know the situation in Jinshan, such a situation will make these people crazy, and the combined power of these people is even feared by Zhu Youxiao and the imperial court, and this power can definitely affect the decision-making of the imperial court.

Now Zhu Youxiao only needs to shout, "Train the sailors, clear the pirates!" He believes that he will be like a cloud. Although all this is gambling, but now judging from the cards, Zhu Youxiao has a good chance of winning. As the saying goes, the greater the risk, the greater the gain.

……

After Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan got on the boat, they were taken directly to Yan Siqi's room.

The three of them looked at each other, and Yan Siqi spoke first: "The two of them are Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan. ”

"Exactly." The two replied.

"Entrusted by people, loyal to people, these days I will be wronged by the two of you, I will lock the two of you in the cabin later, and when the time comes, I will arrange for the two of you to board the ship to Batavia." Yan Siqi said.

"I don't know who entrusted it?" Zhang Hui couldn't help but ask softly.

"Since you don't know, then I certainly can't say." Yan Siqi glanced at the two of them and found that the two really didn't seem to know anything. Naturally, he wouldn't say anything. In fact, the person who entrusted Yan Siqi was Dongchang, and Zhu Youxiao did not come forward, and the condition was to provide weapons and equipment worth 100,000 taels for free.

"Yes, yes. The villain is cheap, and he forgives the adult. Zhang Hui smacked himself hard and said. Zhang Hui escaped, his mood relaxed, and his curiosity surged at once.

Yan Siqi said coldly: "Forget it, there are no outsiders here, and I also have something I want to ask the two of you." ”

"Please speak up, sir." Zhang Hui said.

"Is there something really going on with Jinshan?" Yan Siqi asked.

Hearing Yan Siqi's question, Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan's hearts tightened, and after the two looked at each other, they said: "The matter of Jinshan, please forgive the villain for not being able to tell each other." Zhang Hui didn't confirm whether Yan Siqi was sent by Zhu Youxiao to test him, and he didn't dare to answer this question randomly.

"You know, this is my territory, and even if I kill you two, no one will know." Yan Siqi threatened.

"The golden mountain is a divine object from heaven, and it is not desirable for non-saints, if you want to take it, I am afraid that it will also lead to death." Although Zhang Hui was frightened at this time, he still refused to compromise in his mouth.

"Hahaha......" Yan Siqi laughed, "It makes sense, I haven't done a big thing, how can I be blinded by yellow and white things." ”

"Come on, put these two people in custody." Yan Siqi continued.

……

Not long after Zhang Hui and Quan Yuan went to sea, Zhu Youxiao was discussing with the cabinet about revising the "Imperial Da Ming Law", but this time Zhu Youxiao wanted to revise the "Da Ming Law" in the "Da Ming Law" on the "Da Ming Law" in the performance of miscellaneous dramas, the drama is never allowed to play the role of the emperors and queens of the past dynasties, loyal ministers and martyrs on the stage, at this time violated this rule, it is to be punished with a cane of 100 punishment, and later the Ming Dynasty also forbade ordinary soldiers and civilians to learn to sing.

This law became a serious obstacle to Zhu Youxiao's implementation of his own ideological education program, and it also hindered his plan to establish a military band.

"The law of the ancestors is immutable, since Emperor Taizu Gao, the "Ming Law" has been the foundation of governing the country, stretching for more than 200 years, now the Ming Dynasty is indeed worried about internal and external troubles, but the fault is not in the law, but in the people, Your Majesty does not govern people, but to know the law, it is really a move to abandon the original and chase the end." Li Zongyan was the first to stand up against it.

"Then according to Li Ge's words, should the Ming Dynasty restore the Jingtian system? Or should the laws of the Great Han be restored? Shouldn't the ancestors be changed if they are not in the law? I remember that when Emperor Taizu Gao, if he embezzled sixty taels, he would have to skin and eat grass, why did everyone forget this rule? What's more, I am only revising the article on miscellaneous performances in "Da Ming Law" this time, do you have to block it? Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"The minister thinks that the "Da Ming Law" has been published for more than 200 years, and some of the content in it is indeed out of date and should be revised. As the saying goes: if you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will be able to do it for a long time. Wei Guangwei agreed.

"Wei Ge old ......" Li Zongyan immediately prepared to refute.

"There is no need to fight, we vote by show of hands, the minority obeys the majority, and those who agree to the modification raise their hands." Zhu Youxiao interrupted Li Zongyan's words and said. The controversy over the change of the law will not lead to any conclusion even if it is debated for several years at the beginning.

Zhu Youxiao raised his hand first, Wei Guangwei raised his hand second, Wang Shaohui hesitated and raised his hand, but Han Yi did not raise his hand, Zhu Youxiao didn't know if he supported or not?

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly and said: "Then according to the agreement, the minority obeys the majority and revises the "Da Ming Law". ”

Just when Zhu Youxiao was proud of his victory again, Li Zongyan opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is already sixty-two this year, and he often feels that the affairs of the court are more than enough but not enough, so the minister asks to resign from the post of cabinet minister. ”
