"If you can't get back the 500,000 silver", Qin Lin laughed a few times and looked at Zhang Zixuan: "Although Ling Zun won't lose the position of the first assistant, I'm afraid he will have to be as big as a fight, right?" The corners of Zhang Zixuan's mouth moved slightly, and she nodded hesitantly.

Indeed, with Zhang Juzheng's internal alliance with the Empress Dowager Li and the celebrant supervisor in charge of Feng Bao, and the cabinet controlling the science and technology, the six ministries of the science and road system, and the six ministries supporting the cabinet, and the power structure, even the Wanli Emperor himself could not shake his position: but those stupid and conservative opponents will definitely use this to attack a whip law that changes the levy of grain to levy silver, accuse the reform of the new policy, and create trouble for the implementation of the new deal.

At the same time, with the sudden loss of 500,000 silver taels, the food and salary of the soldiers in Shanxi, and the training expenses of Qi Jiguang in Jizhen will be in short supply, which is enough for Zhang Juzheng to have a headache for a while.

Jin Yingji pursed her mouth when she heard this, tilted her head slightly and sneered, and Takeo Kameban, Quan Zhengyin and others were also quite proud.

Unexpectedly, Qin Lin suddenly asked: "Sister Jin Xiǎo is exempted from talking about Beigu Mountain and other officials, it should not be just for Ling Zun's rehabilitation, right?" As far as I know, now that the sea is menacing, and the Dongying side is not very peaceful, and there is a lack of support from the mother country, are you having a hard time? Takeo Kameban took a step back as if he had seen a living ghost, and looked at Kwon Zhengyin: "He—How does he know?" ”

The Spanish colonization seemed to be menacing, and the year before, the ambitious governor of Luzon, Sandy, had proposed a plan for the conquest of China in a report to King Philip II, in which he claimed that "only four thousand to six thousand men, armed with spears and muskets, ships, cannons, and the necessary ammunition, would be enough to occupy the provinces occupied............ The conquest of one province is enough to conquer the whole country".

Although Philip rejected this arrogant plan, he agreed to Sandy's aggressive posture in the Far East, and with the collapse of the Lin Feng clique in Guangdong under the joint strangulation of the imperial court and the Spaniards, the Spanish colonists used Luzon as a base "to move deeper and deeper into the East China Sea."

At the same time, after the Portuguese colonists deceitfully leased Macao, Bishop Giannilu and Commander Fernando colluded with the gentry of Guangdong, which also exerted great pressure on the local maritime merchants.

At the same time, the situation in Japan has also changed, when Wang Zhi used the Satsuma Domain's Matsuura Port as a base and commanded the 36 islands, the Shimazu family, the daimyo of the Satsuma Domain, was still relatively weak, and Wang Zhi was a big bully; But now Wang Zhiyu's party maritime business group is not as strong as before, "The Shimazu family launched an ambitious Kyushu hegemony, which in turn became a pattern of shopkeepers bullying customers, intending to annex the maritime group.

Although Qin Lin did not know such a detailed situation, he knew that in the second half of the sixteenth century, Western colonists flocked to the country, and as the Warring States period drew to a close, the victorious daimyo began to set their sights on the general trend of overseas.

Because the Ming Dynasty not only did not support the Ming Dynasty at the request of the powerful people, but attacked its own maritime groups, "Wang Zhi, Lin Feng, and Jin Yingji were quite embarrassed to leave the country, and they were struggling under the pressure of various forces, so the maritime merchants of the Chinese country were relatively in decline, and it was not until several decades later that Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Chenggong and his son would regain their prestige and establish Wang Zhi's level of trade hegemony in the Far East Sea."

Sure enough, speaking of the current situation, Jin Yingji is god is a god, and said with grief and indignation: "The imperial court would rather form an alliance with Xiyi Daxiǎo Buddha Langji, but also kill the maritime merchants of the country, and even the father who crisscrossed the sea and dominated the thirty-six islands suffered" xiǎonv What can be done? ", Qin Lin shook his hand" tǐng straightened his waist, and said with a straight face: "During the Jiajing period of the previous dynasty, it was the stubborn people who blocked the way of speech and méng to cover the Shengcong, so Ling Zuncai was killed by yòu: Now that the Holy Son of Heaven is in power, there is another generation of virtuous minister Zhang Taiyue to assist "Haiqing Heyan, Huanglu Qingyi" will not repeat the mistakes of the past. After listening to these words, Zhang Zixuan's smile was extraordinarily bright, and Qin Lin clearly held her father Zhang Juzheng very high.

Of course, Qin Lin's meaning is not only this, Zhang Zixuan understood, and Jin Yingji also brightened her heart: Hu Zongxian failed to appease Wang Zhi, and Zhang Juzheng succeeded in appeasing Altan Khan, not because Wang Zhi should not be appeased, or Hu Zongxian was not sincere, but that Hu Zongxian, the anti-Japanese marshal, did not have as much authority as Zhang Juzheng of Jiangling Xiangguo.

Now that Zhang Juzheng is in the middle of the court, he will never follow in the footsteps of Hu Zongxian, and the appeasement of Jin Yingji and his gang will inevitably be as successful as Altan Khan.

Jin Yingji was slightly relieved, and slightly snorted Qin Lin while the iron was hot, and threw out the big yòu bait that he had prepared for a long time: "This appeasement, not only to redress Mr. Wufeng's grievances, but also to persuade Zhang Shoufu to completely and completely open the sea ban and allow the people to trade freely!" Jin Yingji's red mouth opened to the maximum, Quan Zhengyin's mung bean eyes widened, and Takeo Kameban was stunned for a long time before he let out a long breath: "Yo Xi~n",

The opening of the sea ban and free trade are things that Wang Zhi has been striving for all his life, and even the fundamental reason why he was killed by Yòu! Wang Zhi, Lin Feng and other maritime merchant groups that are very big xiǎoxiǎo, obviously businessmen, have to be stolen, isn't it because under this sea ban, only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps, and the powerful people are free to go sī, and the people can't get involved, so they have to be stolen by businessmen?

Zhang Zixuan was anxious, she didn't care about her appearance, grabbed Qin Lin's arm, and shook her head again and again: "Brother Qin, Mr. Wufeng, was killed during the Jiajing period, and there is still Emperor Longqing in the middle, and now it is a perpetual calendar, and there is no resistance to rehabilitation, but it is not easy for Yuegang to open the sea, and the sea ban is fully opened, I am afraid that my family will ......."

"It's okay to open two or three places first", Qin Lin took a step back and asked: "The sī family is getting rich, the office is getting poor, the country is poor, and the people are poor, is this something that Ling Zun has been worried about?" Zhang Zixuan nodded, not understanding why Qin Lin would ask this.

Qin Lin smiled, and two sentences popped out of his mouth: "The government and the people are free from trade; The officials and gentry pay taxes as one. ”

Zhang Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief, but the deep eyes of the people were gorgeous, and she looked at Qin Lin's gaze as if she didn't know him: the officials and the people were free from trade, that is, the commoners and the magnates could participate in the sea trade, and the officials and gentry paid taxes as one, which means that no matter the gentlemen and magnates, they all paid the same sea trade taxes as private merchants.

Once the private merchants have the right to participate in the maritime trade, everyone has the same proportion of taxes, and those powerful people who have made a windfall by relying on their monopoly position are likely to compete better than the flexible and changeable private maritime merchants? If they lose their privileges, they are scum!

These tax evasion magnates go to the sī group, which is a cancer parasitic on the southeast half of the Ming Dynasty, and if they are defeated, they can be re-taxed by the sea traders, and the silver of the white huāhuā will be transported to the Jingshitai warehouse.

Zhang Zixuan promised without hesitation: "After Xiǎo sister goes back, she will tell her father about today's events, and how to deal with it is his old man's decision, but with Xiǎo sister's guess, opening a few ports and allowing you to trade freely is always eight or nine." ”

Jin Yingji covered her mouth with a smile to hide her inner movement, if the imperial court rehabilitated Wang Zhi and promised to open the sea to trade, then her maritime group would be able to take advantage of the situation and regain the glory of the past.

"Qin Gongzi and Sister Zhang Xiǎo have arranged the fragrant bait so well, the slave family can't help but be a little tempted," Jin Yingji said with a smile, and a pair of smoky eyes turned towards Qin Lin.

Qin Lin smiled, knowing that this was a condition that the other party could not refuse, so he made a joke: "It is precisely to arrange fragrant bait to fish for golden ao." ”

Jin Yingji's laughter became more and more yòu people, and the red chún opened slightly, pretending to be pitiful: "Even if you know that it is the bait of the childe, the slave family can't help but swallow the responsibility." Zhang Zixuan cleared her throat and said with a straight face: "Then, the result agreed by both parties is that Sister Jin Xiǎo will return 500,000 silver to us, and from now on she will break off with the White Lotus Sect, and Sister Xiǎo will go back to report to her father, begging for Mr. Wufeng to be redressed, and the seaport will be opened to allow free trade." Sister Jin Xiǎo, is that so? "No," Jin Yingji's face sank, "I have to add a canonical punishment for Wang Ben Guming!" Zhang Zixuan's goose egg face turned crimson, and Lu Yuanzhi and others also reprimanded: Wang Bengu is an official of the Ming Dynasty, even if he is wrong, he should be dealt with by the imperial court, and he should be disposed of as a condition for negotiating with Jin Yingji, where is the prestige of the country? In the future, Qingliu said that he killed the ministers of the direct advice in order to make peace with the "Japanese Kou", and even Zhang Juzheng could not afford this crime.

Jin Yingji smiled and clapped her palms, and Takeo Kameban took out some letters and handed them to Qin Lin and Zhang Zixuan.

These letters were all yellowed, and they looked like they had a history of one or two decades, and Qin Lin opened them in his heart, and his brows furrowed.

The first letter was written by Hu Zongxian to Wang Bengu, the then governor of the imperial history, urging him to assist in appeasing Wang Zhi and using Wang Zhi to pacify the Zhenwu pirates and the Great Xiǎo Franc Jiren.

The second letter was Wang Bengu's reply to Hu Zongxian, saying that he agreed with the opinion of the ministry and would serve him wholeheartedly.

The other letters, but they were written by a person surnamed Huang in Huizhou to Shishi, a person in Hangzhou who wrote to Wang Bengu, and a person in Taicang who was the imperial history of the capital, all of whom advised him to find a way to kill Wang Zhi Zhang Zixuan saw these names, and immediately covered her mouth and shouted: They are all big proprietors who use their official status to participate in the sī trade!

The last letter, but Zhang Zixuan didn't know, the handwriting was a little stiff, and the signature was "Jin Zhongliang", and it was also to ask Wang Bengu to kill Wang Zhi, and he was willing to thank him with Huang Jinfeng.

"Who is this Jin Zhongliang?" Zhang Zixuan thought about it for a long time, but she didn't remember this person.

Jin Sakurahime said coldly: "The Shimazu family of the Satsuma Domain in my country is the true widow of the generation, Shimazu Yoshihisa was formerly known as Tadaya, and my father supported the Matsuura family of the former domain of the Féi clan and the Oda clan of the current Sakami Sakagami Honto, and the Shimazu family has a grudge against the Shimazu family. ”

Zhang Zixuan and Qin Lin only felt that a scoop of cold water poured down from their hearts, and they were cold: they thought that Wang Bengu was just pedantic and stubborn, and won a clear name: I didn't expect him to secretly accept bribes and gambling from the coastal gentry and the Japanese maritime merchants, sabotage the anti-Japanese marshal Hu Zongxian's plan to appease him, kill Wang Zhi, make the situation in the southeast erosive, sacrifice the lives of 100,000 soldiers and civilians in vain, and achieve his fame and fortune!

"His heart can be punished!" , Zhang Zixuan was solemn, and her words had the meaning of killing.

"I see!" , Qin Lin finally understood that Wang Bengu would be so scared after knowing that the night walker was from the Riben, and the theft of his confidential letters was not only the disaster of killing brought about by Wang Zhiyu's revenge, but also the danger of ruining his reputation.
