Chapter 708: The Century of the Ming Dynasty
Scattered the small court.
The ministers walked together in twos and threes, discussing today's affairs in the court and exchanging experiences.
"Brother Luo, what are you doing with me? Why didn't you let me talk about it? His Majesty's heart was too biased, so he gave 100,000 taels, isn't this luck important? This luck is also a major event related to the lifeblood of my Ming Dynasty? Why is Your Majesty so favoritistic?
,… As soon as the minister who had loudly objected in the Wenhua Hall just now came out of the hall, he immediately shouted and asked the official who had pulled him just now why he was being dragged by him.
His voice caught the attention of his colleagues next to him.
The officer who was questioned immediately pulled him aside and immediately excused him.
"My Lord Zhang, you still don't understand, this matter is no longer a matter of road construction, Your Majesty is to develop Liaodong and reduce dependence on the south, this kind of thing, what is Lord Luo still involved in? Is this something that you can stop? The official known as Lord Luo immediately said, looking like he was doing it for your good.
"What can't be said about that? Your Majesty's heart is biased! The official still insisted on his opinion, thinking that the emperor's heart was too biased.
"Oh, hey, my Lord Zhang, you still think so, you haven't seen such an obvious meaning of Your Majesty! With the development of Liaodong, the situation between the north and the south is slightly balanced, otherwise, the north will rely on the south to transport grain and silver, how can this waist pole be hard? Your Majesty will develop this Liaodong, and in the future, you will rely on a lot less money and food in the south, and this speech is hard, Brother Zhang has not seen through Your Majesty's mind? This is the Emperor's Mental Technique! Brother Zhang, why is he so confused," the official surnamed Luo explained.
"This ......, but ......" the official surnamed Zhang seemed to understand a little.
“… This matter is more related to the Donglin Party, and it involves party strife, which is not something you can get involved with Brother Zhang, if you annoy Your Majesty, you don't know how Your Majesty will get angry......" The official surnamed Na Luo explained.
"Involved in partisanship? Donglin Party? This Donglin ......" The official surnamed Zhang was a little dumbfounded, and looked at the official surnamed Luo stupidly, wasn't the Donglin Party demolished by the emperor? Now it has been divided into several parts, why is it still related to the Donglin Party?
"Brother Zhang, you haven't figured this out yet! It is said that cutting the grass and removing the roots, in the past, it was just cutting the grass, but this time, this is the roots, Brother Zhang still doesn't understand the knowledge here!
Why is there Donglin? Why is there a partisanship? It is nothing more than that some people in the court are fighting with the party for the benefit of a certain place, so His Majesty has made great efforts to sell the land in Liaodong and engage in the development of Liaodong, in order to calm the party dispute and completely quell Donglin, so Brother Zhang wants to stop this matter Thankless, not to mention, he has offended many people," the official surnamed Luo explained.
"Ahh This, how is this ......, what the hell is going on? Offend? "This just,
The officials who were shouting loudly in the Wenhua Hall were frightened, and they didn't remember what was going on, and who did they offend?
"To offend whom? Nowadays, so many people have invested money in Liaodong, and there are not one or two people who buy land in Liaodong, Brother Zhang has made such a big fanfare to prevent His Majesty from building roads, and it is strange that those people do not hold grudges,...... Therefore, Brother Zhang didn't know how many people he offended as soon as he said this......" The official surnamed Luo shook his head and said with a miserable look.
"This ...... Is the sale of land in Liaodong really so popular? Are there really so many people buying? The official surnamed Zhang no longer has the same strong "momentum" as before, and has lowered his posture, lowered his voice, and inquired carefully with the official surnamed Luo.
"Brother Zhang! You have just entered Beijing, and you don't quite understand these things to develop Liaodong, one is to weaken the court's dependence on the south for money and grain, and reduce the influence of the south, especially the Donglin Party on the court, this is His Majesty's balance of the court, this is the emperor's mental trick: the second is to combine the interests of all parts of the Ming Dynasty, and knead the various factions for their own interests, and jointly with the outside world, Brother Zhang thinks about it, with the greatness of my Ming Dynasty, once the upper and lower hearts are united, the strength is in one place, what a great power this is, if Your Majesty completes this matter, it can be said that the world is big, Let me gallop Ming, who in the world can block my Ming blow? The official surnamed Luo generously explained to the official surnamed Zhang.
"Ahh How so? This...... The first point is easy to understand in the next, but the second point is incomprehensible in the next, could it be that what Brother Luo said is to deal with Dongyu? I also asked Brother Luo to seriously ask for advice from the officials who were dismissed from the surname, this matter seems to be getting clearer and clearer, it seems to be getting clearer and clearer from far to near, but he always can't grasp the key point, and he can't always grasp the whole picture of the whole thing. …,
"Dongyu? How can he be so highly regarded by His Majesty? If His Majesty spends so much energy just to deal with Donglu, then Brother Zhang really thinks too highly of Donglu, His Majesty's gaze is the vast land outside the Ming Dynasty, it is fashionable to say that it is fashionable to stand on the height of the earth and look at the world......" The official surnamed Luo explained with a smile.
"Looking at the world from the height of the earth? The official surnamed Zhang was even more dumbfounded, faintly remembering something. Nowadays, this newspaper is an important reading material for popularizing common sense, and it introduces all kinds of novel knowledge, all kinds of novel things, all kinds of novel things to see, and the concept of the earth is not uncommon now.
"Yes, what Your Majesty is planning is for the whole world, not for a small Dongyu, otherwise, then Your Majesty will sell the land of Liaodong with so much energy? If it is just to sell the land of Liaodong, one governor of Liaodong is enough, why did His Majesty personally do it for so long? This Liaodong land sale, in fact, is a touchstone for His Majesty to unify the interests and strength of the entire Ming Dynasty, if it is done well, then there is a template, and the world will be opened up in the future, when this is used as a template, Brother Zhang, try to imagine, Your Majesty reconciled the interests of the Ming Dynasty, and the power of the Ming Dynasty went to one place, who else in the world can stop me from the Ming Dynasty? Therefore, this matter is the most important thing for Your Majesty, compared with Dongyu, it is really not enough to see, Brother Zhang went to stop Your Majesty without knowing what, isn't this a mantis arm blocking the car? It's also His Majesty's good temper, otherwise, Brother Zhang wouldn't be as relaxed as he is today........." The official surnamed Luo explained, probably knowing more inside stories, so it was extremely scary to break the news.
"Ahh This, what else is there to say? "This, it's hard to believe in the lower commission, this..." The official surnamed Zhang was dumbfounded, and it was difficult to accept this massive amount of information, but judging from his lowered posture, he believed these statements.
“… Your Majesty has always done things, and then acted, what you do, at first must be confusing, the further back, the clearer, and when I see what Your Majesty is going to do, there is actually no way to stop Your Majesty,...... Alas, in fact, His Majesty has been preparing for a long time for this matter, and when he says it at this time, it has actually reached the point where the water has come to light, with Brother Zhang, it is impossible to stop it, Brother Zhang thinks about how many people have bought the land in Liaodong, and now they are all counting on Liaodong to become more and more prosperous, but Brother Zhang came out to prevent His Majesty from building roads, isn't this cutting off their financial routes? As the saying goes, cutting off people's money, such as killing parents, has Brother Zhang ever thought about the consequences? Brother Zhang, think about it, how much power is behind Your Majesty? Even if there are some people who support Brother Zhang for the benefit of Caoyun, so what? Under such a great power of His Majesty, Brother Zhang's little power in Cao Yun is not at all in His Majesty's eyes, and the little energy of Cao Yun is not worth mentioning at all" The official surnamed Luo continued to break the news, and the words he said had already scared the official who was shouting in the hall just now. What earth, what height of the world, what template, what interests, forces.
"..............., this, this...... Why can't it be stopped? The official surnamed Zhang was already stupid and asked weakly. This official surnamed Zhang originally felt that the power of Cao Yun was very strong, and he came out and could get the support of many people, but after listening to the analysis of the official surnamed Luo, he knew that the seemingly powerful Cao Yun force in the past was actually not worth mentioning at all in front of the emperor, and the emperor even disdained to crack down on the Cao Yun faction.
"Brother Zhang, are you really stupid or fake stupid? Have you never seen the means of Your Majesty when he cleaned up the salt merchants, what His Majesty wants to do, how to stop it? His Majesty said this at this time, but in fact, the situation had already been laid out, and it had already been discussed with relevant people, and it was waiting for the opening, and no one objected to ...............it at all," the official surnamed Luo said.
"Then you have to stop it?" The official surnamed Zhang is just holding his breath so far.
"..............., alas, to say something ugly, even if Your Majesty has a good temper and ignores Brother Zhang, I am afraid that the other people involved in this matter may not have such a good temper as Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not kick Brother Zhang away, I am afraid that others will also kick Brother Zhang away, Brother Zhang has left the court, how to stop Your Majesty? Now that Han Ge is charging in front, the imperial party is pressing in the back, His Majesty is watching from the sidelines, and countless nobles and colleagues are dancing, even the Lord Zongxian, who was the most disagreeable with the emperor in the past, is also on the emperor's side, how much strength does Brother Zhang think can turn the tables? The official surnamed Luo said. …,
Only then did the official surnamed Zhang have a new understanding of the "gentle" and harmonious emperor, where is this kind of harmonious emperor, this is simply an bottomless "abyss".
Thinking of his fight with the emperor in the Wenhua Palace, and how insignificant his strength was, and how "kind" the emperor was, the official surnamed Zhang only felt that he was stupid and ridiculous, and his mantis arm blocked the car, which was really the best portrayal of himself.
"Alas......, the mantis arm blocks the car, and it is ...... if you don't measure it" The official surnamed Zhang let out a long breath and said, his expression completely withered, and the words of this official surnamed Luo today hit him too hard.
"Hehe, Brother Zhang doesn't have to be so concerned, Brother Zhang is also new to His Majesty, and he is not very familiar with His Majesty, and after getting along with His Majesty for a long time in the future, he will get used to it, and His Majesty is actually very easy to get along with...... " The official surnamed Luo said with a smile.
The feeling that the official surnamed Zhang has for the emperor at this time is that it is an "abyss", and even the eyes of the past will be attracted to it, so it is easy to get along?
"Alas, I don't know what Your Majesty has done, whether it is right or wrong, if it is according to what Brother Luo said, Your Majesty should be doing something that has never been done since the beginning of the world!" For all kinds of rumors about the emperor, for the dynamics of the officialdom today, this new official surnamed Zhang has also heard about it, but he doesn't believe it, and now the official surnamed Luo has enough understanding of these inside stories, and it can be said that he has integrated it and issued such feelings.
"Brother Zhang has thought too much, with His Majesty's intelligence, up to now, he has not made any wrong judgments, since His Majesty wants to do this, obviously there is also His Majesty's reason, we are ordinary people, not as good as Your Majesty's Shengming, so I should have followed Your Majesty" The official surnamed Luo said with a smile.
In fact, it is more about laughing at the emperor to make money, in terms of making money, the emperor seems to have never missed, and it is good to make money with His Majesty, which is recognized, and the official surnamed Luo naturally wants to laugh, but he may not really have a high consciousness.
"Brother Luo said it thanks to Brother Luo's reminder, otherwise, I will commit His Majesty's taboo..."The official surnamed Zhang is also a little afraid, as the official surnamed Luo said, the emperor has a good temper and ignores himself, but others may not have the same good temper as the emperor He has just entered Beijing as an official, and he is afraid that it will not be long before he will be kicked out again.
"Alas, Brother Zhang is serious, you and I are the same year, and it is right to be reminded." The official surnamed Luo said.
"Please accept Luo Jishou in the next bow" The official surnamed Zhang bowed earnestly to the official surnamed Luo, which was regarded as a formal thanks.
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be,...... If Brother Zhang has a heart, it is better to buy a copy of "Kunyu Wanguo Quantu", or to buy a globe, with Brother Zhang's grade, these two things can be bought, and now these two things are necessary to be an official, if Brother Zhang is fine, you can look at these two items more and think that you will better understand the trends in the court in the future, and when you do things, you will be more like a fish in water..."The official surnamed Luo continued to instill some ideas into this official surnamed Zhang.
"The Complete Map of Kunyu Wanguo"? Globe? I know a lot of thanks Brother Luo for reminding me."
The official surnamed Zhang lowered his status again and bowed in thanks.
Qianqing Palace.
At this time, Yang Reform was also comforting Han Ba.
"The Qing family is worried about the money? It doesn't matter, this matter is planned by itself, although a fixed number is given, but since it is to be repaired, it is naturally necessary to repair it. Yang Gai smiled and comforted Han Ba, shocking Han Ba!
"Thank you, Your Majesty!
But Your Majesty, can three million really build such a long road of oil residue? Han Bai hurriedly thanked him, as if he had been wronged. Today's small court discussion, but he was brought to the forefront to discuss, although it was okay in the end, but this feeling was really bad, and Han Yi didn't want to encounter this kind of thing again.
"Hehehe, don't worry, I know this matter, it's the end of April, the money is not enough, you can give it again next year, can't you bypass the three million?
Regarding the oil residue, I will also order Li Yanyi to let him reduce the price," Yang Gengai said with a smile. This oil company is all monopolized in its own hands, and it can be rectified as much as it wants, and the cost is completely up to them, and the price will naturally be reduced when it is time to do so.
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister understands" Although Han Bai also expected this kind of ending, but in the end it came true, so he was extremely discouraged, a good errand of 10 million taels of silver to build a road, it seems that it is not his turn, the emperor will indeed scratch people's hearts, his heart, he will tickle the emperor, and he has to follow the path of the emperor's rate. …,
"Hehehe, it's good to understand, this matter depends on the Qing family, the Qing family will start work as soon as possible, and act as soon as possible" Yang Gai said with a smile. I am very proud in my heart, this Liaodong development thing, by their own bō a bō urging, gradually towards the end they want, the interests of the world, but also gradually screwed together by their own strong screw, just wait for the harvest of the fruits of Liaodong, their own layout will be completed, a benefit integrated into one Ming, will be an irresistible existence, the importance of this matter, is really far beyond many things, do this well, the direction of the Ming Dynasty, can be regarded as the basic stereotype, and no longer afraid of history to return to the original old road, Once this model is activated, relying on habitual xìng, the Ming Dynasty will inevitably rush into capitalism and industrialization.
"Command! Chancellor understood. Han Bai immediately agreed, thinking about it, he had worked so hard for so long, and he had ended up on such an errand, and he finally didn't work in vain, and thinking about it, this matter was actually secretly controlled by the emperor, and he couldn't interfere without scruples like other things, Han Bai felt unhappy, he might really be working in vain. The source of the road construction is controlled by the emperor, and he has to ask the seller of oil residue if he is willing to do it, and he has to ask the group of eunuchs "accountants" if they are willing to do it. Thinking of his expectations for this matter and the final result, Han Bai felt that the emperor was very shrewd, and his abacus was fine, and he couldn't eat his fat, and it was not bad to be able to drink soup.
Sending Han Ba away, Yang Reform calculated it himself.
Liaodong land sales, they have been operating for a long time, has always been a major event to do, its degree of attention, has exceeded a lot of things, thinking that this matter, is an attempt to integrate the interests of the entire Ming Dynasty, is absolutely not allowed to let him fail, as the saying goes, people's hearts are scattered, the team is not easy to bring. Now, it is natural to take advantage of the fact that the people's hearts are not dispersed, and when the team is still good to lead the team, this matter will be handled as an "iron case", and he will not be allowed to repeat it for half a minute.
I think that although the interests of the entire Ming Dynasty have not been completely integrated, but, judging from the current integration situation, this is already a very powerful force. the problem of Cao Yun,
In the Ming Dynasty, it was also regarded as a stubborn disease of the boss, and it was one of the things that could not be moved, but in the face of this untouchable "Cao Yun", there was no scum at all, which was enough to explain the problem, and Yang Reform was very satisfied with this result.
If you do a good job of integrating interests, then you can say that the Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with itself, and you can sit back and relax.
In the first half of the 17th century, who could resist the integrated Ming Dynasty? This seventeenth century is destined to be the century of the Ming Dynasty.
