In this way, His Majesty the Emperor can still make the best use of people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info this is an important criterion to measure whether Ming Jun is or not. After all, no one would ask the Son of Heaven to do everything himself. The Ming Empire is so big, even if Zhu Houzhao wants to manage it, it is impossible to manage it.

With so many important ministers of the court ruling the world instead of him, it is really stupid for him to let it go.

Although Tang Yin is not suitable for deciding major matters, he does have a lot of ghost ideas, and he is proficient in the way of eating and drinking, so it is very suitable to serve as Honglu Shaoqing in charge of the reception of the Hajj envoys.

The words of the Son of Heaven are naturally the golden rule, and as soon as the holy decree was issued, Tang Yin was awarded the Hanlin Revision.

Xie Shen believes that as long as Tang Xiu doesn't die, he will be able to rise to the top of his life after a year of training at most.

Of course, at the moment, Honglu Shaoqing is still Zhao Ji, and he is responsible for Rodriguez's food and clothing.

His Majesty the Emperor allowed Rodriguez to stay in Daming to study culture, and Zhao Ji naturally had some thoughts. He invited a few great Confucians to give lessons to Rodriguez, but Francois didn't seem to be very interested in Confucian culture, and fell asleep several times during the lectures.

If it weren't for Zhao Shaoqing's face, this Confucian would have left long ago.

Zhao Ji suddenly made a difficulty, didn't your old man say that he wanted to learn Daming culture? Why don't you study hard and sleep a lot? In this case, if His Majesty the Emperor asks him, how should he answer?

Did he misunderstand? What this Buddha machine man wants to learn is not Confucian culture, but Buddhism and Taoism?

It is not within Zhao Ji's business to spread Buddhism and Taoist culture.

Just when Zhao Shaoqing was hesitating, Rodriguez took the initiative to express his desire to learn porcelain firing technology and silk weaving.

Zhao Ji suddenly realized that Rodriguez was under the guise of learning Ming culture, but in fact hoped to stay and steal skills.

The porcelain firing technology and silk weaving level of the Ming Dynasty are beyond the reach of Europeans.

Rodriguez wanted to learn these techniques so that he could return to Europe and set up his own factory to produce.

Even if he only produces six or seven points of Daming silk and porcelain, he can make a lot of money.

The most important thing is that the output is controlled by him, and a monopoly can be realized, which is terrible to think about.

Zhao Shaoqing naturally didn't dare to make decisions about such an important matter, so he wrote the original story of the matter into the song and handed it to the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Hou didn't think there was anything wrong with the song after taking care of it, so he sent the song to the cabinet and asked the ministers to discuss.

At this time, Gu Dingchen had not yet entered the cabinet, and there were only Li Dongyang and Xie Shen in the cabinet.

Li Shoufu pondered for a moment and said, "Siming, what do you think of this Franc man's actions?" ”

Xie Shen arched his hand at Li Dongyang and said loudly: "Xiya Gong, Xie thinks that you must not teach the technology of weaving silk and porcelain to the Franc machine?" ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

Li Dongyang stroked his beard with interest and asked.

"Xiya Gong thought, what is the purpose of this Franc machine man learning to burn porcelain and weave silk?"

"Naturally, I went back to set up a factory."

"That's it. But Xiya Gong also knows that whether it is porcelain burning or silk weaving, it is a handicraft, and the manual ability of the craftsman directly determines the quality of silk cloth and porcelain. ”

After a pause, Xie Shen continued: "That is to say, even if Rodriguez learns this, it is impossible to make exquisite Daming porcelain and silk, at best, some defective products." But Rodriguez will definitely sell these defective products as fine products produced by the Ming Dynasty, so as to make huge profits. This will greatly affect the reputation of my Ming silk and porcelain, which is not conducive to maritime trade. ”

"Hmm."

Li Dongyang pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "What Siming said is right, it must not affect the sea trade." ”

A few years ago, Li Dongyang would not have taken sea trade so seriously.

After all, before the Ming Zhengde Dynasty, the so-called trade was the exploration trade, that is, the Hajj trade, which could not be compared with the real trade in terms of size and frequency.

Its purpose is not to make a profit, but to promote the prestige of tomorrow.

When it came to the Wukou trade and the opening of the sea ban, everything was different.

The Ming Dynasty has a real sense of sea trade, and the annual tax revenue of sea trade alone is nearly one million taels, which is half of the annual income, which solves the big problem of money shortage in the imperial court.

If you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are not at home. Li Dongyang has been in charge of the cabinet for so many years, and naturally understands that the Ming treasury does not have much surplus, and there are countless places to spend money.

The Turpan people in the northwest, the Tatars in the north of the desert, the Tusi in the southwest, and the Japanese in the southeast are all restless. The garrisons in these places would cost huge sums of money, and the Ming court sometimes had to ask the locals to raise some of their own money.

But with the sea trade, this will not happen, and the imperial court has enough money to allocate to the garrisons in various places, so that they can defend their homes and the country with peace of mind.

Therefore, now Xie Shen said that the tax revenue of maritime trade may be affected because of Rodriguez's learning of porcelain and silk weaving technology, and Li Dongyang is very vigilant.

"But this person said so, I'm afraid it's not appropriate if we keep it perfunctory, right?"

This is where Li Dongyang is embarrassed. The Ming Dynasty is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and it is really not very good-looking to play with the Francophile like this.

But taxation is a real interest of the Ming court, and it must not be moved, which is really tangled.

"Xiya Gong doesn't have to worry, Xie has a countermeasure."

Xie Shen smiled and said, "Doesn't he Rodriguez want to learn the skill, you can let him learn it." But instead of letting him learn to weave silk and burn porcelain, let him learn to grow tea and roast tea. ”

Li Dongyang was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.

"Siming, it's really yours!"

Tea is also the representative of the Ming Dynasty, and the envoys of Fanguo will buy a large amount of tea every time they come, which is enough to see that tea is very popular in Fanguo. Is learning to grow tea and roast tea differently than learning skills? The difference is that tea has high requirements for climate, water and soil. Is Longjing, which has left West Lake, still Longjing? Is Yuyao Xianming, who left Siming Mountain, still Yuyao Xianming?

Even the Franco-Rang people can understand the essence of tea planting, but it is impossible to find a place in Europe that is exactly the same as the climate and soil of West Lake and Siming Mountain. Even if he planted tea trees, he couldn't fry good tea.

This can not deceive the European people, porcelain, silk and other things you can also use the excuse that it is a firing and weaving batch problem, and the quality is uneven. Tea is not affected by these things, and the taste of tea under the water and soil will hardly fluctuate.

There is only one explanation, this tea is not produced by Da Ming but grown by Rodriguez himself.

In this way, if Rodriguez wants to steal the beams and change the pillars, it is impossible to make huge profits in the name of the output of the Ming Dynasty, and he has to come to the Ming Sea Trade obediently, and the taxes of the Ming Court will not be affected.

......

......

Li Dongyang admired Xie Shen more and more.

I really don't know what Xie Shen's brain is made of, how can he analyze everything is the Tao?

"And we didn't treat Rodriguez badly. After all, tea is also a treasure of my Ming Dynasty. ”

Xie Shen spread his hands and said, "What does Xiya Gong think?" ”

"Hmm."

Li Dongyang stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.

"Then it will be voted according to Siming's intentions."

Zhu Houzhao still respects Li Dongyang very much. As long as it is Li Ge's old vote, there is no major problem, and he will not reject it.

Li Dongyang suddenly remembered something, patted his head and said, "The old man's memory is not as good as day by day." Yu Qiao has already decided to leave Beijing tomorrow, and the old man is going to set up a banquet for Yu Qiao to practice tonight, if Siming is fine, he will go with him, right? ”

"In such a hurry? How many more days can Mu Zhai Gong stay? ”

Xie Shen was very surprised. Did Xie Qian really stay enough in Jingshi?

"The old man also persuaded him, but Yu Qiao has made up his mind, and it doesn't make much sense for the old man to stay."

"Well, I'm supposed to go and practice for Mu Zhaigong."

Li Dongyang saw that Xie Shen was depressed, and quipped: "Siming, you have to be more generous." Left Xie Yuqiao, and Xie Yuyao. ”

Xie Shen smiled dumbly and said, "Let the old man laugh." ”

Gu Dingchen has been appointed by Zhu Houzhao to enter the cabinet, and the reason why he has not completed the formal procedures is because Xie Qian has not left the capital division yet.

Your Majesty the Emperor is thinking about Xie Qian. If Gu Dingchen enters the cabinet at this time, and the new person replaces the old person, Xie Qian will definitely form a great contrast, and his emotions may be affected.

Although Xie Qian himself didn't care about these, the Son of Heaven did.

This is the advantage of following Zhu Houzhao, this is a king who misses the old love, and there will never be a cunning rabbit and a dead lackey cooking in him.

After the cabinet was over, Li Dongyang and Xie Shen took a sedan chair out of the palace and went to the Shoufu Mansion.

The practice banquet is in Li Dongyang's mansion, after all, only Li Dongyang, an old man, is qualified to practice for the second assistant of the dynasty.

When Li Dongyang and Xie Shen arrived at the mansion, the officials of the six Zhengyin Hall, the imperial history of the left and right capitals of the Imperial Procuratorate, the envoy of the general government, the Honglu Siqing, the Taifu Siqing, the Taichang Siqing and other officials were already seated.

Those who didn't know thought that there was some urgent situation happening.,Shousuke-sama convened the ministers to discuss it.。 However, it also reflects Li Dongyang's appeal and Xie Qian's good popularity from one side.

Seeing that Shoufu and Xiaoge were coming, the officials stood up one after another to salute them.

Li Dongyang and Xie Shen smiled at them as a return gift.

Not long after, Xie Qian's sedan chair stopped outside Li Dongyang's mansion.

With the support of the housekeeper, Xie Qian walked to the backyard of the Li Mansion, where the banquet was held, step by step.

"Yu Qiao is here!"

Li Dongyang was talking and laughing with Xie Shen, and when he saw Xie Qian walking towards him tremblingly, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Yu Qiao, your body is not as good as before."

Li Dongyang hadn't seen Xie Qian for nearly a month, and he didn't expect his physical condition to deteriorate again, so he really had to retreat.

Seeing Xie Qian's appearance, Li Dongyang felt very uncomfortable.

He and Xie Qian entered the cabinet in the same year, and the two cooperated tacitly to manage the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty in an orderly manner.

In Li Dongyang's mind, Xie Qian is not only a colleague, but also a brother. Now that this good brother has to retire due to physical reasons, Li Dongyang can't help but sigh.

He saw his own shadow in Xie Qian's body. Although his body is still quite healthy now, if there is a serious illness and disaster in his age, it may be Xie Qian's appearance.

Do you have to wait until Xie Qian is like this to pay tribute? Or do you retreat bravely from the rapids, leaving the best image in the hearts of the Son of Heaven and in the hearts of colleagues?

Li Dongyang pulled Xie Qian to sit down, cleared his throat and said, "You must all know that Yu Qiao has already written to the office, and His Majesty has also allowed to play. Tomorrow, Yu Qiao will leave Jingshi and take a boat from Zhangjiawan Wharf to return to Yuyao. The old man set up this banquet specially for Yu Qiao to practice. Thank you very much for joining us. ”

Everyone said that Xie Cifu's practice banquet was a must, and they all sincerely admired Xie Cifu's personality.

Xie Qian raised a wine glass and said with a little choked, "Thank you." It is a privilege to work with you in the DPRK. In the future, I hope that you will continue to work diligently and serve the imperial court. ”

"Mu Zhaigong, the students toast you, thank you for your support to the students over the years, and thank you for your contribution to Daming."

Xie Shen gave Xie Qian a deep salute and raised his glass respectfully.

He and Xie Qian became attached to Xie Pi, and the two cherished each other as friends in previous years. Although I don't talk about the end of the song and the time when people are gone, at least we have to be separated for a while. The number of courtesies that should be fulfilled must still be fulfilled.

"Siming, you have a heart."

Xie Qian nodded and said with a smile: "When the old man leaves, the burden on your shoulders will be a little heavier." You're going to have to hold on. ”

"Mu Zhai Gong, please rest assured, the students will do their best for Daming."

Although it was a practice banquet, Xie Shen didn't want to be too sad, so he motioned to the bigwigs of the ministry to toast Xie Qian, and for a while, everyone toasted to Xie Qian, and the atmosphere was very warm.

During this period, there were singers singing to help the fun, and Xie Qian heard Wu Nong's soft words in his hometown in Beijing, and he couldn't wait to set off.

There is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed.

At the beginning, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang's cabinet iron triangle is now only Li Dongyang left. Although there are newcomers to make up for it, that tacit understanding is impossible to replace.

At the end of the song, Xie Qian officially said goodbye to everyone, looking at Xie Qian's somewhat rickety back, Xie Shen knew that an era was coming to an end.

The next day, Xie Qian and his family officially left Beijing in a carriage.

The carriage left Jingshi and came to Zhangjiawan Wharf, and Xie Qian's family turned to take a boat down the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

If you don't rush from Jingshi to Yuyao, it will take 20 days to a month.

Xie Qian was naturally happy to do so. Along the way, enjoy the scenery of the canal.

Wherever the official ships went, officials from various prefectures, prefectures and counties went out of the city to greet them, although they were just chatting on the dock to express their hearts, but it was enough to see Xie Cifu's important position in the minds of Ming officials.

When Xie Qian returned to his hometown of Yuyao County, Shaoxing Prefecture, he was warmly welcomed by the clansmen and the officials and gentry.

Yuyao's status today is inseparable from the rise of Er Xie.

First Xie moved into the cabinet, and then Xie Shen entered the cabinet, and the two supported Yuyao's sky together, so that all readers in Yuyao had the confidence to be discriminated against and bullied again.

Today, Xie Qian said goodbye to his hometown, as beneficiaries, shouldn't they welcome Xie Qian?

For the people of Yuyao, although Xie Qian is a scholar, the glory of Yuyao continues, so there is no sadness on this day, only joy.
