Chen Ju is back! Now Wanli looks at Chen Ju, how to look at how comfortable, the whole golden God of Wealth. Chen Ju sighed in his heart: Back then, Grandpa Cheng looked at Ma Sanbao (Zheng He) and Yishiha, the two ancestors, probably to his current level, and he really got the highest glory that a eunuch eunuch can achieve!

Everyone knows about the matter of the Three Treasure Eunuchs, so I won't repeat it here, just talk about the matter of Yisha. Yisha is a member of the Jurchen ethnic group in Haixi. After entering the palace, he won the trust of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di with his wisdom and diligence. In the more than 20 years from the ninth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1411) to the eighth year of Xuande (1433), Yisha was repeatedly ordered by the court to send envoys to Nuergan (the lower reaches of Heilongjiang), and built and rebuilt Yongning Temple at the location of the Nuergan command envoy. He was also transferred to Liaodong as a town guard eunuch, responsible for the defense of Liaodong, and was recalled to the capital in the first year of Jingtai. For the establishment of the Nuer Gandu Command Department and the development of the Liaodong region, Yizha has made immortal contributions.

Although Chen Ju said that he was appointed to supervise the rebuilding of the Nuer Gandu Command Department (abbreviation: Nuer Gandu Division), he actually presided over the groundbreaking ceremony in Nuer Gancheng, and then accompanied by Yi Sunsin and Barbarossa, he played in the waters near Kuye Island. As far as summer, he traveled along the Aleutian Islands to what is now Alaska, and found a few pieces of dog-headed gold (which is why Yi Sunsin was willing to stay in the north), and quickly slipped back. Nuergancheng has also been repaired, and there is a rough idea.

Animals around Laya Island and Alaska have fallen into bad luck, with bears, white foxes, minks, otters, seals, whales, cod, and salmon all picking and killing. Of course, you have to pick small ones to kill seal meat, and the baby seal meat is very tender, and it is just right to eat it raw. By the way, I picked up a lot of ambergris (sperm whale excrement, precious spice) on the beach of Kuye Island. Penguin? Be sober, there are no penguins in the Arctic!

Chen Ju ate round and returned to Beijing by boat. I didn't forget my master, and I took advantage of the winter to freeze all the delicious food and pack it back for Wanli.

On the way back to Beijing, by the way, I brought the indemnity of Chao Xian and Dongying to this issue. The leather goods and blubber (candles made of blubber have an aphrodisiac effect), ambergris, and dog's head gold brought back by Chen Ju can be sold at least 50,000 taels of gold at a price in the palace! plus the indemnity of the two countries, so Wanli regarded him as the God of Wealth. is still his own slave and maid, not only after a lot of hard work to complete the task, but also brought back countless treasures, even delicious food did not forget to bring back to the master. But why is Chen Ju not black and thin, but white and fat?

The previous dynasty also regarded Chen Ju as the god of wealth. Damn! The imperial court has been poor for half a year, and many imperial historians have knelt outside the noon gate for several days, forcing the emperor to take out the internal money for the previous dynasty! Now that Chen Ju has finally got the money back, he can breathe a sigh of relief. Don't forget, the indemnity was paid separately to the former dynasty and the inner court.

Xiao Li (Li Siwei), Lin (Lin Shenhe) took Li Desheng (Duan Xiao), Gao Young Master (Gao Yingchun) and Wang Da Sect Master (Wang Sen) and other cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods to the Central Plains, along the canal, and the south of the Yangtze River! The imperial court has not been able to collect much grain this year, not to mention taxes.

Gao Yingchun took all kinds of horses, in addition to Shanxi and Henan, but also robbed all the taxes and silver in Anhui, Ningxia, Gansu, and Shaanxi. Duan Xiao also blocked the canal and robbed a lot of the taxes and silver paid by the southern places. If Wanli hadn't sent Wang An to the canal to clean up, he would have been able to rob all the taxes and silver in the north. Wang Sen's Smelling Fragrance Sect was so good at fooling those officials that he not only handed over his family property, but also handed over the treasury and official warehouse under his jurisdiction. Lin Shenhe is in Shandong, backed by the Confucian family, sitting on the stolen goods, and then exchanging them for grain. The Kong family received half of the commission, which should be able to make Kong Qiu roll in the grave with anger.

Through the unremitting efforts of the "Liaoyuan" group, the grain price of Jingshi has reached an astonishing one or two dollars of silver to buy a pound of terrier rice!

The more Yang Junmin checked in the household department, the more deficits he found. Wanli dealt with a number of responsible officials, some of whom still had good reputations, and searched their homes for huge amounts of property and food. The skin of the solid grass outside the noon gate was hung up, and the ground at the mouth of the West Market (execution ground) was red and unclean, and the imperial city had a bit of the posture of the Hades Palace, but it still had no effect.

In the Central Plains and along the canals, "Liangshan heroes", "Shandong Xiangma", and "Henan bandits" fought and robbed back and forth, robbing not only civilians but also officials, and the flow of materials was basically cut off. Wanli transferred Wang An to clean up the bandits along the river, which could only be "rushed", and as soon as Wang An's army left, everything was as before, but it was good to be able to transport some things into Beijing. What Wang An didn't know was that in fact, every action of the official army had already been sent to Duan Xiao by the Dongying mercenaries, and they were all their own people!

Compared with Chen Ju's sightseeing, Wang An is terrible. Now they have all become darts, constantly escorting supplies into Beijing. In fact, not only Wang An, but also the officers and soldiers in the Central Plains basically have one task: to protect materials. The mercenaries are not unhappy, the more chaotic you are, the more you need these mercenaries, and the reward will be greatly reduced! Wang An's whole person was so tired that he lost weight, and Wanli looked distressed. Every time Wang An returned to Beijing, it was a lot of rewards.

Distressed to distressed, Jiangnan had an accident again, and Wang An had to go back to Nanjing to fight the fire.

In July, the sea overflowed in Songjiang Prefecture, from the first regiment to the ninth regiment several and hundreds of miles, drifting thousands of houses, more than 10,000 men and women, and countless six animals. Haiyi, that is, the tsunami, is still occasionally encountered in Songjiang at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and it is not a big deal. The problem lies in the disaster. The Nanjing Imperial Court received a holy decree to open a warehouse for relief. But when I opened the official warehouse, I was dumbfounded, they were all empty, and there were not many rats! Looking for the officials in custody, either the whole family ran away, or the whole family drank medicine and hanged themselves on stilts, and there was no way to investigate.

The common people did not know what was going on, but they knew that the holy decree had been issued, and they wanted to open a warehouse and release grain. As a result, I couldn't wait for food, and I was about to starve to death, so I had no choice, so I grabbed something to eat. In addition, Lord Xiao Li personally commanded and fanned the flames, and the "proletariat" who had participated in the "uprising" in the previous year took the lead, and the people changed.

Wang An went to the Grand Canal to "escort the darts", and basically transferred the troops of the Dongying mercenaries and the imperial horse supervisors, leaving Nanjing with the vulnerable guard army and the noble private soldiers like the old man. The people's rebellion spread rapidly, and except for some places where there were military defenses, Nanzhili was in chaos. The unlucky Wang An, before he could rest well, rushed back to Nanjing with his subordinate army to suppress it.

Someone has to be in charge of the Grand Canal?! Because of Wang An's relationship, Wanli has a certain understanding of the combat effectiveness of the guard, and he has one word "scum". The army of the guard could not be used, so it had to be used by the army of the Imperial Horse Supervisor of the Northern Zhili. Someone has to take the army with you! Wanli's own slave and maid, Zhang Whale is no longer needed, Zhang Cheng has to guard the ceremonial supervisor and can't leave. In the end, Wanli finally selected Chen Ju's godbrother, Chen Zeng, to lead the army of the Imperial Horse Supervisor to patrol the Grand Canal.

Chen Zeng (?) ~1605) was one of the most arrogant mine tax supervisors of the Wanli period. His place of origin, family background and personal resume are not found in the historical books, but the historical books involve the mining tax supervision during the Wanli period, and there are records of his bad deeds from time to time. Lord Xiao Li's desk has already been put on Chen Zeng's information, and as soon as he is appointed here, he has already made a plan for him. As far as Chen Zeng's personality is concerned, there are really a lot of aspects that can be used. As you can imagine, the Grand Canal is in trouble!
