Chapter 523: Imperial Discussion

Chen Xie was very happy and disappointed! The big killer of "two whatevers" is still very powerful. No one can find fault, and whoever dares to come out to refute Chen Xie will be killed by the emperor. The emperor of the old Zhu family doesn't have a big heart. Just look at Zhang Juzheng, you will know that if you die, you will have to whip the corpse. Compared with Wanli, Zhu Youzhen can be said to have intensified. In the name of national interests, to confront the so-called competition with the people, Chen Xie is really a representative of deviance. But what he said, no one dared to come out and refute it. At that moment, Chen Xie seemed to be upright, and no one dared to face it. How to say it, it is really that these officials of the Ming Dynasty are too unpopular, and they have done too much. The country is like this, the emperor is responsible, and the Wenchen group is even more responsible. Anyway, everyone is worse than bad, and no one dares to stand up and refute what Chen Xie said is wrong.

It's a shame that no one came out to spray with me! Chen Xie thought silently in his heart, very regretful. At that moment just now, if someone came out to quarrel with him, it would be right in the middle. Standing on a great and righteous position, anyone can be destroyed. Therefore, it is very important that the government is correct, no matter how dirty you are in the process, having a correct political position will win more than half of the game.

Chen Xie is a hedgehog that cannot be touched in the eyes of many people, although he is very hateful, but he has no way to start. Calculate everything he does, and you'll find that there aren't many loopholes to exploit. In the past, they were invincible against political opponents, but here Chen Xie is completely ineffective. You say Chen Xie has a party? And even if there were, so what? Chen is unwilling to stay in Beijing, is there a difference between having a party and not having a party? Instigating His Majesty to compete with the people for profit? Hehe, who can this convince? Violation of the ancestral system? According to the ancestral system, there are not a few Wenchen in this hall who can pull out the skin and grass. Zhu Yuanzhang played the routine of embezzling fifty taels and picking up the skin. Don't take out this thing to deal with Chen Xie. It can probably be of some use against people. This man is outrageously clean financially, and he can't make a fuss.

There is also one of the most powerful means, called immorality! The question is, who can match Chen Xie's virtue in the Manchu Dynasty? Bizhong? Hehe!

The early dynasty began. Zhu Youzhen got on the dragon chair, and when he looked down at the ministers and shouted long live, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and he almost didn't laugh out loud. Everyone else was serious, so they stood alone, leaning against the pillar and dozing off. Change it to someone else, huh! It's a pity that this person is Chen Xie, Zhu Youzhen forced him to go to the court, and his position was originally in front. As a result, this guy mixed up in the middle of the last bunch of petty officials. Zhu Youzhen can be sure that Wu Zhi must have explained clearly, and this product must not have listened. Forget it, don't get angry with him on this issue.

"Zhongqing's family, can you have a play?" Zhu Youzhen opened his mouth in a good mood, and the first to stand up was Hong Chengchou.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a play." Zhu Youzhen looked at him very pleasing to the eye, this courtier has been fighting on horses all these years. He has made a lot of contributions to the stability of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, he didn't swallow the credit of others. Take this decisive battle in Sichuan as an example. Hong Chengchou, who had already arrived at the battlefield in time, found that the officers and soldiers in Sichuan had collapsed, and sat back and watched the four towns fight hard. If Lin Ya hadn't arrived in time, she would have collapsed. As a result, after the battle, he unceremoniously received the first credit for the strategy, without mentioning that he sat back and watched the hard fighting of the four towns.

"Aiqing, please speak!" Zhu Youzhen rarely smiled. Well, the smile on his face has been getting more and more lately. It's not easy!

"Your Majesty, the so-called three armies have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. People from all walks of life in Sichuan, grain and grass can be supplied on the spot. It's not easy to raise money. Now that the south of the Yangtze River is open to the sea, you can transport money and grain by water to ensure that the army fights. This is what Hong Chengchou has wanted to say for a long time, the word Shu Dao is difficult is not given in vain, it is too troublesome to go into Hanzhong and Sichuan.

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he looked at Yang Tinglin, the secretary of the household department, and Lu Xiangsheng, the secretary of the military department, didn't that mean that he had already said it? You didn't inform Chen Xie? Yang Tinglin stood up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, if there is no delay on the road, the food and salary have already passed Kuizhou." The total amount of food and salary for this time was 200,000 stone of dry food for the field and 100,000 yuan of silver. After speaking, Yang Tinglin twisted his neck to look for the back, and said in his heart that this guy disappeared in the blink of an eye just now.

Zhu Youzhen knew that he was looking for Chen Xie, and coughed. Wang Chengen pinched his nose and walked to Chen Xie's side, this thing was sleeping against the pillar. Zhu Yujiao went home last night, I don't know if I listened to Queen Zhou's education, that sticky. All kinds of tactics were used, and two palace maids were also pulled as helpers, and the toss was almost finished until midnight, and Chen Xie didn't have time to sleep at all, so he came to the court.

Don't look at Zhu Yujiao's young age, once she has the belief that she wants to spread the branches and leaves for the Chen family, her combat effectiveness will definitely double.

"Chen Gebu, wake up!" Wang Chengen came over to speak in a low voice, and Chen Xie muttered: "Don't make trouble, it's been a night, let me sleep." After saying this, the order of the entire early dynasty was ruined. Wenchen can still hold back, the nobles can't help it, Du Nima laughed crazy. Especially Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, laughed the most. If you want to say that the relationship between Jingshi and Chen Xie has not been very good, it is probably because Chen Xie forced Zhao Zhilong to death. In fact, the popularity of this product has always been bad.

Chen Xie finally woke up, wiped his saliva, and after seeing the scene clearly, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." This, what does the prince command? Wang Chengen had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Chen Gebu, your position is not here." Chen Xie helplessly followed Wang Chengen to the front and stood, feeling very tired. Isn't it the same as saying that there is a station behind, and how do you sleep in front of the station? Yang Tinglin didn't have a good face at all when he saw him, this guy was too Nima bastard.

"Sihua, how are the preparations for the food and salary of the various armies in Sichuan? The book only said the first issue, but what happened later? "Yang Tinglin is talking about military affairs, so he is naturally serious. Chen Xie listened but crooked his mouth and said: "What should I do, this little thing also comes to disturb my sleep." Considering that grain occupies too much space, and Sichuan is not short of grain, it will not transport grain in the future, and will transport silver yuan. Shipped once a season, 500,000 yuan each time. Nothing else, I'll go back to sleep. ”

Chen Xie was about to leave, and when he saw Zhu Youzhen holding back a smile on the dragon chair, he had to stand up with a smile and arch his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know the etiquette law, please punish Your Majesty." Zhu Youzhen blamed him, smiled and said: "Aiqing grew up overseas, and those who don't know are not guilty." ”

Before Yang Tinglin could speak, Lu Xiangsheng said angrily: "Sihua, you are too sloppy." It is troublesome to transport grain to Sichuan, but you only transport silver, can the price of grain be low in Sichuan after the ravages of the Rogues? Isn't that nonsense? As soon as he said this, Zhu Youzhen's face was wrong, but he knew that the price of grain in Guide Mansion was 3,000 wen a bucket.

Chen Xie didn't get angry when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Lu Jiandou, when have you ever seen me messing around?" This is a militaristic matter, can I mess around? Before the silver yuan left the south of the Yangtze River, the grain merchants had already taken the initiative to contact them, and in addition to various expenses, all the food needed was contracted to them. I don't care about anything else, I guarantee them 30% of the profits, and let the sailors escort their boat to arrive safely. Some things, in fact, are not difficult to do at all, as long as a little profit is given to the merchants, they rush to do it, and I also save the trouble of finding food. ”

Lu Xiangsheng changed color again and said: "Sihua, the price of grain in Jiangnan has not been low in recent years, don't bully me for not knowing how to do it, the trade of silk and cotton cloth is so prosperous, there are many kinds of mulberry trees and cotton in Jiangnan, and the grain output is not high." ”

A minister, I really didn't expect Lu Xiangsheng, who had a good relationship with Chen Xie, to fire the cannon first, and Zhu Youzhen, who was very confident in Chen Xie, was already very relaxed at this time, and he knew that Chen Xie must have a countermeasure.

"I only know one and I don't know the other! Lu Jiandou, you go to Huating Wharf to see how many ships of grain come from Dongying, North Korea, Annam, Java and other places. As soon as the price of grain in Jiangnan rose by 30%, the merchants and flies smelled blood, and they all gathered around. There are at least ten large ships that can transport 10,000 stone of grain every day. In the past month, the price of grain in Jiangnan has dropped, not to mention, it is still 10% lower than the original. Even so, other maritime merchants don't buy and sell grain, but the maritime merchants of the various states of Taixi are still happy, do you know why? ”

Chen Xie's range, Lu Xiangsheng was speechless, and subconsciously said: "Why? Chen Xie said lightly: "It's very simple, their grain is not costly, after being transported to Jiangnan, they directly exchange the grain for tea, silk, porcelain, etc., and the most important thing is that the unique drug artemisinin can't be bought with silver, so they can only exchange it for grain." This is the benefit of opening the sea, these ghosts go to Huating, and the grain can be used as a sum of silver, although it is insufficient, but there is also a huge profit. ”

Speaking of which, Lu Xiangsheng understood that Chen Xie had done something in it, restricting the trading mode of these ghosts. As long as there is no shortage of food in the south of the Yangtze River, and the natives on the Nanyang side are alive or dead, Chen Xie is not worried at all. Since it's a business without capital, those ghosts who want money have to run back and forth desperately. This model, of course, will lead to a decrease in the inflow of silver, but from Chen Xie's point of view, isn't the most lacking thing in the Ming Dynasty at the moment food? As long as the sea is opened, are you still afraid that you will earn less silver?

"That is, these ghosts can't go deep into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, otherwise they can send these grains directly to Sichuan. Jiandou, this world is very big, Daming, as the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, someone will take the initiative to transport anything that is missing. As a minister of the imperial court, you must have the consciousness of opening your eyes to see the world, close the door and stare at your own one-third of an acre, do you think you can make a difference? To put it mildly, the drought in the northwestern provinces is so severe, if grain could have been brought in from overseas at the beginning, would there have been a later civil uprising? It's not too late to make amends, so think about it, colleagues. Chen Xie's words made the hall collectively dumb. (To be continued......)
