The Jiangnan region was completely settled down after the deeds of Comrade Li Gang being paraded and paraded into the public were widely spread. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Killing chickens and monkeys is what other people kill, but Zhu Houzhao killed ostriches, which is obviously much bigger than ordinary chickens. Millions of family fortunes were collected into the treasury, and all the old and young families were assigned to Qiongzhou for fishing, and this kind of treatment scared all kinds of ghosts and ghosts in the Jiangnan area.

No matter what kind of false position Li Gang is, but in the final analysis, he is still a member of the imperial court, and he is the existence of ordinary prefects and counties, Zhu Houzhao is even willing to take it out and open the knife, how can people not be afraid.

After that, the Mo family's industry finally stabilized, and they could contribute millions of taels of tax silver to the imperial court every quarter, and the silver they earned was no less than when they cooperated with corrupt officials and corrupt officials. This is enough to make the patriarchs of other business families blush.

Because of the Mo family's pearl and jade, other families have also followed suit, although Zhu Houzhao's tax and silver are dozens of times higher than that of his ancestors, but it still makes the families in the Jiangnan area where business is prosperous make a lot of money.

In the past, I earned a lot, but all kinds of filial piety are not a small amount in a year, and I have to take silver for the New Year's festival and the birthday of the chief officer. Well, now, although the taxes of the imperial court are a lot heavier, it is far more comfortable to say that cutting a knife is a painful and pleasant knife than cutting meat with a blunt knife.

Under the permission of Zhu Houzhao, the Mo family completely took on the important task of running the first newspaper of the Ming Dynasty, and all kinds of new policies issued by the imperial court and the harmless secret news of various court officials were transmitted to the desk of the Mo family newspaper workshop through Jinyiwei for people to screen and publish.

Since then, officials from all walks of life have been in danger. Those who dare to prostitute now only dare to drill into the secret door, and those who dare to pick up ashes now only dare to cultivate tunnels.

But the brothers of Jinyiwei have made a lot of money because of these news, after all, they only had a little dead salary for His Majesty the Emperor to find out the news, but now the situation is more work and more rewards, and if there is a piece of news that is selected, there will be a message of income, and naturally the enthusiasm for work is greatly increased.

Zhu Houzhao would also write a few times when he had nothing to do, so Mo Yanai specially opened a column in the newspaper for Zhu Houzhao, and then Zhu Houzhao wrote several articles on the benefits of reform, spreading his ideas in the 21 st century.

However, it is useless, Zhu Houzhao's knowledge is obviously not enough to subdue the vast number of Ming intellectuals, and his articles have been criticized by people from all walks of life, and it is said that it is the resurrection of Yang Zhuzhixue, which is opposed to orthodox Confucianism/

This makes Zhu Houzhao a headache, both want to be **** and want to set up the archway is a true portrayal of the circle of literati in the Ming Dynasty, they have always said no to silver, but they are very honest physically.

But just the words can form an impregnable guard, making them invincible kings in their own spiritual realm.

Zhu Houzhao was puzzled, and did not understand why normal guidance was criticized in a mess, but the mild words were said to be bewitching profit-seeking thoughts.

In this regard, Yang Shen expressed his experience after studying Confucianism as an orthodox literati.

"Your Majesty, your reputation is not enough!"

Zhu Houzhao ****, the reason is so simple. Only now did he realize that there was indeed no one in his circle who had enough prestige among the scholars.

Although Yang Shen's reputation for intelligence is far and wide, it is just a comment from the elders to the underachievers, and he really can't talk about it without enough achievements, so even if Yang Shen goes out, it is also useless, because he is still just a prisoner of the country, and he has a reputation for being smart and erudite, but he does not have the reputation of two Jinshi, which is no different from the doubts he received when Wang Shouren guarded the city.

Speaking of Wang Shouren, I have to say two more words.

This benevolent brother's achievements in the eyes of later generations were unmatched by no one in that era, but in the society at that time, he was slightly inferior to Yang Shen. First of all, his father is not as big as Yang Shen's father, and secondly, he himself is not as smart and knowledgeable as Yang Shen.

It can even be said that Wang Shouren has not found his own path so far, what to become a generation of literary saints is nonsense, Wang Shouren is just a lost lamb who has been nurtured by Zhu Houzhao, and it is not even known whether there will be a birth of Xinxue in the future.

However, this is obviously not something that Zhu Houzhao should worry about, a person's achievements have always had a great relationship with his heart, and the external environment may not be able to affect a determined person. The so-called heavenly favor is like this.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year has passed, and the commercial tax reform in the north is still not too successful. Zhu Houzhao's killing of chickens and monkeys is obviously not big enough for the officials in the capital, and the false post of Zheng Erpin is really a weak chicken in the eyes of Xungui.

If Zhu Houzhao won Liu Jian, it would be almost the same, but unfortunately this old man really has no bad deeds. Even if Zhu Houzhao wanted to drive him home to farm, he could only rely on Liu Jin to come and the old man was disgusted by such a means.

At the beginning of spring in the second year, more than a dozen large ships stopped in the harbor near Lianyungang in later generations.

When the new ship goes to sea, Zhu Houzhao must have no reason to be absent.

Twelve giants, forty-four zhang long and eighteen zhang wide, floated quietly on the water. The huge ship loaded with the guardian gods of the zodiac was densely lit on the left and right sides of the ship, with three rows of sixty naval guns, and even dozens of huge furlong machines were placed on the bow deck.

These brand-new naval guns are all high-end goods made by combining Tang Fei's confiscated overseas Furlong aircraft and local technology in the Central Plains, and they are first-class fierce in terms of range and power.

For these twelve giants loaded with the Zodiac Horns, Zhu Houzhao paid a full eight million taels of silver, and almost mobilized the craftsmen and all the guards in the Jiangnan provinces.

As for how much money the household department produced, Zhu Houzhao didn't know. Anyway, those nose-pickers would definitely not be willing to spend their money where they couldn't see the benefits.

As a great contributor to the construction of the ship, Zhu Houzhao specially approved the hanging of the mark of the Mo family on the head of the ox ship to show recognition.

When the new ship went to sea, Zhu Houzhao deliberately sat on it to show off his might. What is the raised eyebrows, sitting on a big boat directly knocking over the old shipowner or the overseas Mo family's ship, the three-masted ship that unscrupulously harassed the sea frontier at the beginning became a toy under Zhu Houzhao's car, and it fell apart in the blink of an eye, and the people on the small boat jumped into the water like ants.

Two months later, it was the height of spring, and Zhu Houzhao felt that it was not a solution to keep the harvest all the time.

So it was decided to leave three dragons, tigers and horses behind, and the other nine were all loaded with goods to go out to run business.

Zhu Houzhao has already chosen the direction of the course, this place has always been narrow and barren, but there are many silver mines, and it is indeed a good place to bring back a large amount of silver.

At the same time, according to local customs and habits, Zhu Houzhao took special care of the Tianzhu Shenshui of the three major ships, which was used to bring hope to the people of the island country who were short and weak.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao did not really plan to do business with him, this time he went to explore the way, and the silver in the future should be used to rob it, where to exchange it for things.

Anyway, isn't the son's the same as Lao Tzu's? (To be continued.) )
