Chapter 289: The courtyard came to carry the black cauldron
Greet the Lord Dang Hai of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate to the main hall and sit down, Bao Yiman brewed coffee, she is very tall, enough to be more than one meter eight in the future, thin waist and long legs, buttocks like gourds, wearing tight brocade, really thrilling strange beauty, slender walking, moving beauty snake, to Hai Rui's side, Ying Ying squatted down, put the coffee on the coffee table in his hand.
"Mr. Gangfeng, please." The obedient official smiled and signaled, took the lead in picking it up, and sucked it lightly, Hai Rui turned a blind eye to the Kunlun slave stunner in front of him, picked up the teacup and tasted it, and immediately frowned slightly, the obedient official smiled, and then said: "The kid likes foreign things, such as this coffee, first the white-clothed cannibals like to drink, and then gradually popularized, also known as strength and passion, although in our Ming people to taste, it is inevitable and the same taste of medicinal juice, but this thing, there is a good, such as life ......" said, signaling Behori next to him to take the milk powder to add some to the teacup, Bao Yiman, who was beside Hai Rui, also concocted the same method for Hai Rui's teacup.
"Mr. Gangfeng, please again." The obedient official squinted and smiled, and then tasted it himself. Hai Rui has been an official for many years, and he has been expelled from officialdom to study in his hometown for more than ten years, this officialdom is obedient and wants to listen to the style, maybe he didn't understand it very well when he was an official, but now he is naturally very proficient, and he can hear what he said, he frowned slightly again, lowered his head and took two sips, and suddenly there was a milky fragrance lingering between his lips and teeth...... For a while, the two of them were silent and didn't speak, whether it was Sun Yinglong, the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town, or Zhou Linhui, the commander of the Yingjiang River under the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who was waiting outside, they looked at each other with a hint of hostility, and they were a little puzzled, saying that Uncle Guo (Lord Yuantang) seemed to have some tacit understanding with this person?
"What do you call this adult?" Sun Yinglong squinted his eyes and smiled, but, as a brocade guard, even if he smiled, it felt gloomy, the general's thick eyebrows and big eyes were about forty years old, and he frowned slightly, and said: "The last general, Zhou Linhui, the general of the Jiang Defense Co-ordination." ”
Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate is not better than Nanjing six departments, six departments are furnishings, but the authority of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is very heavy, the chief of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is also the Jiang Defense, of course, in order to divide power, do not let the authority of the chief of the Metropolitan Procuratorate too heavy, most of the time will let the deputy of the Imperial Envoy and Jiang Fang, called the Imperial History of the Jiangjiang River, however, whether it is the Imperial Envoy or the Imperial Envoy, they are always civil ministers, and the actual work is still done by the military future, although this kind of military general is only the title of the general, in fact, the authority is quite heavy, generally speaking, it is quite a rooted person to sit in this position, Commonly known as Admiral of the Shogun.
Sun Yinglong was slightly stunned, "Admiral of the Jiang River? Isn't this a dispatch from the Sincere Uncle's family? ”
Zhou Linhui's face showed some anger slightly, this Zhou Linhui was born in martial arts, at that time, the martial arts first tried the strategy, and then tried the bow horse, three test camp formations, mines, car artillery, and those who can be admitted to the martial arts, most of them are not simple, but there are many generals in the Ming Dynasty, most of the generals are hereditary, and the martial arts can come out, there are few in the past three hundred years, like the later Xiong Tingbi first in the martial arts, and later changed the martial arts to the text, and then in the Jinshi, there is only this one in the world, and he can come out, still relying on the identity of a two-list jinshi, the so-called martial arts, It's just the icing on the cake.
"The last general was twenty years old, and later he was promoted by the lord of the court, and now this position is simply promoted by the imperial court." Zhou Linhui arched his hand, his face was indifferent, which meant that Lao Tzu relied on real skills.
Sun Yinglong suddenly thought that Hai Rui had served as the imperial envoy of the capital more than ten years ago, and it was estimated that he was the person promoted at that time, but it is said that he has lived in his hometown for many years, how could the cabinet use such a position as the person he recommended? Are those elders stupid?
Hai Rui was greedy for eighty times, scared the officials of the world half to death, and several cabinet elders looked at it, they were afraid that the emperor would come to Yanjing on a whim, and he would come to Yanjing, that was really a rat poop and spoiled the whole pot of soup, simply, the first strike is strong, this Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate is the right imperial envoy and governor of the Imperial Palace, the position is high and powerful, and the power has been better than the Nanjing garrison eunuchs, the emperor should have nothing to say!
Therefore, at this time, Hai Rui was indeed in power, and he stepped down because he offended Xu Shaohu, the old Xu Jie, who was praised by Shilin, and it was not false that Yan Song and Yan Shifan father and son were defeated in Jiajingnian, but he was the largest landlord in Songjiang, and it was true that six or seven out of ten of the land in Songjiang belonged to the Xu family, and the industry was all over the south of the Yangtze River, which was the most headache in the late period of almost all dynasties, encroaching on land.
Hai Rui was precisely because of the failure of the old fighting with Xu Ge, so he stepped down and had to go back to his hometown in Hainan to gnaw the old rice, and now the emperor uses him, to put it bluntly, is to use him to fight with the big landlords and magnates, otherwise, Su Song is such a rich land, and the grain is not as good as Shanxi after a year, isn't it a joke, the poor place in Shanxi.
Just this year, Wanli also gave Xu Jiexi the book of gold silk, but it is one thing to give things, and it is another thing to give Hai Rui the power to instigate him to fight the big landlords and magnates in the south of the Yangtze River, this is like five hundred years later, Citigroup, the president and the chaebols are mixed with each other, and the lights are bright, but this does not prevent the president from thinking about going to the pockets of the chaebols all day long, nor does it prevent the chaebols from making the parliamentarians they support to say that raising taxes on the rich is an extremely bad national policy.
Hai Gangfeng held a machete high to 500,000 tax-exempt Ming gentry (in 2011, Citigroup had 450,000 wealthy people with an annual income of more than 1 million, and paid less than half of the taxes of the ordinary middle class.
Outside, the obedient officer and Hai Rui's subordinates were testing each other, and in the hall, the two of them had their own thoughts.
In the middle of the night, Hai Rui put down the teacup and suddenly said, "The matter of Little Luzon ......"
He didn't finish his words, but the obedient official naturally understood the meaning, hesitated slightly, for this famous sea pen holder in history, he still chose to tell the truth, this person [nine changes his wife] [seven changes his wife] is one thing, that is private morality, but for the official, it is indeed the entire Ming Dynasty to provoke, and immediately said: "I used to catch a robber in Fusang, who claimed to be the sister of the governor of Little Luzon, I just let her go, and casually said that the court intends to go to Little Luzon to find gold mountain." ”
Smart people don't need two words, drums and hammers, Hai Rui immediately understood, at that time to overseas trade was very profitable, the notes of the people of the time think that pulling out a shipload of goods can pull back a shipload of silver, which may be exaggerated, but making a lot of money is certain, of course, the profits are both sides, the Spanish Philippine governor killed 50,000 merchants, in fact, and the trade punishment of later generations is a truth, but later generations are more civilized, find an excuse, unilaterally announced that several times the increase in tariffs, and this era, naturally is murder, Two people eat cake, kill one, and naturally the other is monopolized.
Hai Rui sighed, the so-called literati kill people with pens without knives, the Ming Dynasty now merchant ships go to sea are all civilian, if the imperial court goes over there, if I am the governor of Luzon, I should also be afraid, why don't you strike first...... He couldn't help but ask, "How did Uncle Xiao Guo come up with this method?" ”
The obedient official smiled slightly, and said in his heart that I would tell you that I watched the news in my previous life, and the Rakshasa people asked the Celestial Empire people to build a market in the local area, and when the market was built, they turned their faces and denied people, saying that the merchants of the Celestial Empire were smuggling, and immediately ate the entire market with one mouth, and by the way, tens of thousands of merchants were detained...... Hai Rui saw that he was smiling confidently, and couldn't help but snort, "You are also famous, and you rashly searched the whole city and arrested thousands of scholars and officials, aren't you afraid that the emperor will not be able to protect you?" ”
The obedient official smiled and said nothing, Hai Gangfeng gently tugged the beard on his chin, but he admired the young man in front of him a little, at least, he felt that he would definitely not be able to do such a big thing at this age.
"The Kyushu Xuanfu envoy sold tens of millions of taels of silver, what are you going to do with this silver?" Hai Rui has the heart to test him, and the good official has the heart to pull him to carry the black pot, so naturally he will not hide it from him, "The kid is ready to tell his brother-in-law to draw Ningbo out alone, the kid is born to know, and he has a strategy for governing the country in his chest, and he wants to follow Zhang Taiyue and give it a try." ”
Hai Jui has impeached so many people, but he has never impeached Zhang Juzheng, which shows that he is also the root of the reformers.
gasped, Hai Rui couldn't help but look at him with wide eyes, this young man, such a big breath, he seems to be only fourteen or fifteen years old this year!
After being silent for a long time, he said slowly: "Maybe you can describe it to the old man!" ”
The obedient official smiled, you are willing to bite the hook, at the moment, just say the words of the sky, no matter what he says, he is also beyond this era for five hundred years, and he has done enough homework in advance, and the contemporary Confucian Yan Shannong mentioned him, and he used to be good friends with Dong Qichang Chen Jiru and other great talents in the world, naturally the head of the talk is the Tao, Hai Ruixian still felt that he was whimsical, but the more he listened, the more he felt that the truth could be chewed, and he really had a sense of cheerfulness, and Bao Yiman next to him handed over the newly brewed Viennese coffee, which he unconsciously held in his hand, While drinking, he looked at the obedient official and nodded repeatedly.
"Although this gentry is difficult to do, it really takes a lot of effort to go down, you are only a teenager now, and with thirty years of work, you can be cultivated, but it is just ......" Hai Rui couldn't help but sink his face, "My Daming Clan, how do you solve it?" ”
This is the root problem, but the good official naturally has a belly case, and said with a smile: "Isn't there a lot of places over there in Little Luzon!" ”
This sentence is like a thunderbolt, Hai Rui is also one of the few people in contemporary times who understand, such as tax collection, as long as the emperor is ruthless, he really wants to do it, and it takes decades of hard work to do it, you know, the emperor himself also pays taxes, just like the saying of Beizhili, [Wanping's Zhixian County, one stubble a year].
Every year in the spring, Huang Yanjing wants to lead hundreds of officials to plow in the first agricultural altar, this is the etiquette, the same, the emperor also has to pay taxes, and this tax collector is Wanping Zhi County, after collecting taxes, Wanping Zhi County will have to be laid off, collecting the emperor's taxes, is it easy, so there is such a saying for a long time, but no matter what, the emperor also pays taxes, which is also considered an ancestral system.
But the Lu rice of the clan, this can not be stopped, now the population of the Ming clan jade plate is 200,000, Wang Shizhen once called it in the "Emperor's Ming Event" [this sincerity has never been seen in the ages], and the vassal kings from all over the country occupy so many places, and the children and grandchildren will go down, more and more, but the land will not be conjured out of thin air.
But the obedient official's words, Hai Rui understood them, and the meaning was clear, with the silver, he built a huge ship, went to occupy the territory of Little Luzon, and then used heavy profits to get the clan overseas.
Although this is also difficult, compared to the past, it used to be called unsolvable, but now, it can only be called a problem.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but slap the coffee table next to him, and with a bang, the tea cup on the coffee table jumped up and rolled to the ground and shattered.
"Go down." Hai Rui first reprimanded, and then, his face was flushed, and he stared at the obedient official and said, "Are you really sure?" ”
The obedient official suddenly made a bitter face, "How can you say this, sir, who is sure about this?" "Just kidding, it's about as difficult as rebellion, you ask me if I'm sure?
Hai Rui thought about it, too, but after all, it was a method, he paced back and forth, and after a while, he raised his head and said loudly: "This black cauldron, this courtyard will carry it for you." After that, he shouted loudly to Zhou Linhui, the governor of the Yakjiang River, to come in, and asked him to escort everyone and others to the south of the Suzhou Prefecture Metropolitan Procuratorate in the name of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
When Zhou Linhui heard this, he was immediately anxious, "The adults of the courtyard ......"
"The old man is doing things, and it's not your turn to persuade him, so go quickly." Hai Rui stared at him, Zhou Linhui was helpless, took a closer look at the little uncle next to the adults in the courtyard, turned around and walked quickly, watching him go out, the good official's face was straight, in fact, the smile in his stomach was almost crooked, and he finally pulled the person to the back of the black pot, or voluntarily.
