As Chen Di expected, the new deal was resisted by a group of vassal kings and royal relatives!

The new decree of the Cabinet has been announced to the world for more than a month. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoExcept for Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanxi, the new policies of the provinces are stuck.

Hu Zongxian, the new policy inspector of the seven southern provinces, was scolded by King An in Nanchang, Jiangxi.

Hai Rui, the new policy inspector of the six northern provinces, almost fought with King Lu in the Yamen of the prefect of Yanzhou, Shandong.

These vassal kings took the lead in resisting the New Deal, and the royal family naturally followed suit. The royal relatives are all resisting the new policy, and those ordinary gentry have also become fearless!

Although Chen Di gave Hai Rui and Hu Zongxian a firearm brigade each. But letting the Fire Gun Brigade suppress it is the next policy! There are some things that cannot be solved by killing, killing, killing. The Fire Gun Brigade is only used to prevent the vassal king from plotting against him.

This reform of the Ming Dynasty seems to have stalled.

Fortunately, Lu Bing's intelligence department is efficient enough. On this day, Lu Bing ordered someone to carry two large boxes of books to the cabinet duty room to find Chen Di.

Chen Di was overjoyed: "Lu Shangshu, have you collected the illegal affairs of the vassal kings so quickly?" ”

Lu Bingdao: "Alas, Zhenguo Gong, I don't know if I don't check, I'm shocked when I check it." Look at these two big boxes of books! It's all the lawlessness of the vassal kings! ”

Lu Bing casually took out a book and read: "The fifth day of the third month of the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing." King Lu annexed more than 300 acres of land for the people outside Yanzhou Prefecture. The villagers went to the palace of King Lu to reason with him, and were killed by his slaves and injured more than 20 people. On the night of March 12 in the 26th year of Jiajing, King Lu had an affair with the lord of Lingling County, the daughter of Zhu Yinsui, the general of Zhenguo. The main line of Lingling County is the niece of the king of Chu. On March 15, the 26th year of Jiajing, King Lu privately lent 10,000 taels of usury to Wang Qinling, a cotton merchant in the city. On April 15, because Wang Qinling had not returned it when it was due, he was beaten to death by Lu Wang's slaves. On April 18, the 28th year of Jiajing, King Lu violated the rules and went out of the domain, hunted in Funiu Mountain, saw a beautiful village girl, and forcibly committed adultery。。。。。 ”

Chen Di waved his hand: "Okay, don't read it!" Unexpectedly, this Prince Lu did something illegal almost in three or five days. ”

Lu Bing said with a smile: "Zhenguo Gong, King Lu committed those things, but it is actually nothing among the vassal kings!" The deeds committed by the vassal kings can almost be said to be innumerable! ”

Chen Di casually picked up a book and said with appreciation: "Your intelligence department is also a good means, and it has found out so many lawless things of the vassal kings in such a short time. ”

Lu Bing said with a smile: "Zhen Guogong, I have been in Jinyiwei since I was fifteen years old, and I eat this bowl of rice!" If you want to talk about stalking and finding out the news, no one can compare to the person who came out of Jinyiwei! My ears and eyes are as many as cattle in the two capitals and thirteen provinces! ”

Chen Di suddenly asked Lu Bing: "It is said that Jinyiwei has ears and eyes all over the world, let me ask you, who will raise these ears and eyes?" ”

Lu Bing replied: "Jinyiwei is the emperor's domestic slave, and all expenses since the great grandfather have come from the inside. Since the town of Guogong took power, because the silver in the inner carrier warehouse has been emptied by you, so 。。。。。 ”

Chen Di hurriedly asked, "So what?" You mean, the people of Jinyiwei haven't paid their salaries for half a year? ”

Lu Bing nodded: "That's right." But the people down there have a way of getting money. For example, after discovering some minor wrongdoing by an official, he went to the official's house and asked for silver. This is an open secret of Jinyiwei in the past 100 years, and the name is: eating official meals. Of course, the things that Jinyiwei wanted to blackmail those officials committed were all small things. If there is really a big incident, the people below dare not report it. ”

Chen Di was a little creepy, no wonder the rulers of all dynasties had to establish a huge intelligence system, there were brocade guards in the Ming Dynasty, sticky poles in the Qing Dynasty, military unification in the people, and central unification in the People's Republic of China。。。。。 This intelligence agency is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you can attack the enemy, but if you use it badly, you will hurt yourself.

Chen Di said: "This is my negligence! Now that the Ministry of Intelligence has been established, the money for your subordinates should naturally be supplied by the imperial court! In this way, from the eyes and ears below, to the backbone in your hands, all are awarded military ranks. Like the Flying Tiger Army, the silver is withdrawn from the household! ”

Lu Bingdao: "Then I will take my five hundred brothers, tens of thousands of ears and eyes in two capitals and thirteen provinces to thank the prince of Zhenguo!" ”

Chen Di said: "Since there is Yulu, it is strictly forbidden to 'eat official meals'!" Intelligence should not become the capital to blackmail others and enrich one's own pockets! If this kind of thing happens again in the future, Lu Shangshu, you have to investigate it strictly! ”

Lu Bing nodded: "This is natural." ”

Chen Di pointed to the box of things and said to Lu Bing: "You send someone to hand over all these filthy things to the local governor according to the territory of the vassal king!" Tell them to show these things to the vassal kings! If these vassal kings take the lead in resisting the New Deal again, don't blame Bengong for ignoring his feelings and punishing them one by one according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty! ”

Lu Bing took the order and left.

At this time, a soldier of the Flying Tiger Army outside the door said: "Francois Madeira asks to see!" ”

Chen Di said: "Hurry up, please come in!" ”

This Madeira can be regarded as Chen Di's old friend. Previously, Madeira led mercenaries to help Chen Di fight against the Japanese in the southeast, and then went north to help the Flying Tiger Army resist the Tatar attack. Later, Madeira was assigned by Chen Di to purchase goods needed by the Ming Dynasty in the West. He had just finished sailing, and when he returned to Daming again, he immediately came to see Chen Di.

Madeira was accompanied by Yingyu, the interpreter.

Chen Di greeted him warmly: "My dear friend, how many Western goods did you bring to my country on this voyage?" How many heretical scholars? ”

Madeira learned a lot from Yingyu, and he replied: "My most honorable duke, I set sail in January of this year, departed from Tientsin, returned to Lisbon, and arrived at the port of Tientsin four days ago laden with our country's goods!" Those goods of Daming are quite sought-after in my country! This voyage netted more than a million escudos. ”

Chen Di knows that escudo is the name of the Portuguese currency.

Madeira continued: "I took out 500,000 escudos of them and purchased a large number of the most advanced Franco-machine artillery, ingenious machinery, and novelty goods in Lisbon, and I also hired more than 200 heretical scholars to serve you in the Ming Dynasty!" The remaining 500,000 escudos have been converted into silver coins in Lisbon, which have been handed over to the owner of the Renaissance Chamber of Commerce, Ma Ruyun. ”

Chen Di nodded with satisfaction: "Thirty percent of the profits brought by this voyage are yours!" ”

Madeira was overjoyed.

Yingyu said to Chen Di: "My lord, this time I made my own decision and went to the West with Madeira. Please also forgive your sins. ”

Chen Di became interested: "Oh? You went to the West? Tell me, what is the difference between the West and my Ming Dynasty? ”

Yingyu thought for a moment and said, "It's different everywhere!" If you want to say it, you have to say it for three days and three nights. ”

Chen Di looked at Yingyu. Although this Yingyu is a female branch girl in Hangzhou City, she is very smart and can speak Franco. Why not let her make the most of it?

Chen Di said: "Yingyu, if I appoint you as a thirteenth-class civil official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the Ministry of Rites, are you willing to serve the imperial court?" ”

Yingyu was stunned: "My lord, the little girl is from a humble background. And we have never had a woman as an official in the Ming Dynasty! ”

Chen Di said: "Why can't women be officials? During the Tang Dynasty, Wu Zetian was called the emperor, and there were countless female officials who had been entitled! ”

Yingyu said: "But... My origins... ”

Chen Di said: "Origin? Fu said that it was lifted between the plates, the rubber mustache was lifted between the fish and salt, Uncle Sun Ao was lifted in the sea, and Baili Xi was lifted in the city! As long as you have talent and loyalty to serve the court, why should heroes ask about their origins? ”

Yingyu's eyes were full of tears. In the past, she was just a lowly female branch girl in Hangzhou, but now, she will become the first female official of the Ming Dynasty! Chen Di's kindness to her is as deep as the sea!
