Chapter 583 doesn't need to be reasonable

The dignified companion, seeing the first assistant, he just gave his hand, but this will stride forward, regardless of the water stains on the ground, and knelt down firmly: "The slave has seen Princess Kunxing and the Lord of the Pavilion." "Even if they are the servants of the Heavenly Family, ordinary concubines and princesses, when they see Wang Chengen, they have to be careful. How can Wang Chengen kneel down and salute in turn, Wang Daban represents the face of His Majesty.

Zhu Yujiao immediately turned her body to the side and said in a low voice: "I don't dare to accept such a heavy gift from my father-in-law, get up quickly." Chen Xie stepped forward with a smile, stretched out his hand to help Wang Chengen up, and said, "Princess, have you seen the outside?" ”

Wang Chengen said with a smile: "Yes, the slave is the slave of the heavenly family, and the cabinet lord has immortal merits in the Daming Society......." ”

"You'd better hurry up and lead the way, don't be in a hurry." Chen Xie hurriedly interrupted, he could say something, but he couldn't listen to it. It is enough for Wang Chengen to have this attitude, and it is enough to draw a snake. Wang Chengen also knew this truth, and pushed the boat down the river to stand up and said, "Princess, cabinet, please come with the minions." ”

Chen Xie helped Zhu Yujiao to walk behind, looking meaningfully at the body in front of him hooked at the waist, this slave is not simple. The series of actions just now were for Chen Xie. If there is, His Majesty can't do it, so Wang Chengen doesn't have to be taboo. It's as simple as that, the grace comes from the top, the courtesy has reached this point, Chen Xie got up early in the morning, braved the snow to ask for a meeting, and changed it to an ordinary minister, it was really moving to die or live. If you don't shed a few tears, you can't express your emotions.

If Chen Xie also shed a few tears, it would not be Chen Xie. This is clear to both sides. Xinghai City in Nanyang was made by Chen Xie for Zhu Youzhen to see, and that side will be my destination from now on. Something like being the king overseas, Zhu Youzhen is happy to see it. Since Chen Xie pacified Liaodong. This is Chen Xie's inevitable destination, without this destination, no matter how much Zhu Youzhen trusts Chen Xie, no matter how broad-minded he is, he can't tolerate such a powerful courtier, right?

This is the emperor's logic, you don't need to do anything to rebel. As long as you have this strength, I have to deal with you. All dynasties and dynasties, it is all the same. For the position of the emperor, family affection and everything are floating clouds. In this era, if you don't have this awareness, you don't know how you died.

"You got up so early and didn't have breakfast, did you?" Zhu Youzhen appeared in a timely manner, and he didn't say anything polite, and he chatted about homely things. Chen Xie's reaction to this was to bow respectfully first. Then he got up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is not hungry." "What about this etiquette, it's okay, you have to kneel down seriously. Chen Xie thought about kneeling for a while, but when the matter came to an end, he changed it again. Zhu Youzhen doesn't care about this anymore, this guy can make do with a little politeness.

"Then eat a little together, I'm afraid that the meal in the palace is too coarse. Not with your appetite. "If Zhu Youzhen said this to other courtiers, it would scare people out of the psychological shadow. I don't have to worry about Chen Xie.

"Your Majesty is too bitter for the sake of the Ming Dynasty." Chen Xie gave it a fart first, and then turned around and said: "The minister is not quiet when he eats, and he likes to make noise, so he is afraid of being rude in front of the king." Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking." That's the doctor's rhetoric, just try to refrain from it. ”

That being said, it was really a chore to accompany the emperor to eat, Chen Xie was very simple and asked for a large bowl of gnocchi soup. Xili snored three times and five to two, and the eating appearance was very unsightly. Zhu Youzhen ate slowly on the side, with a smile on his face, Chen Xie put down his chopsticks after eating, and said: "Let's go to the study to drink tea and wait for a while, watching you eat, my appetite is also better, eat one more bowl this time." ”

Wang Chengen added another bowl of millet porridge, and Zhu Youzhen sighed: "All year round, I eat this meal comfortably." ”

"That's long live Lord is in a good mood, there is nothing big in Daming this year, and I saw Lord Chen again." Wang Chengen carefully set off Zhu Youzhen's good mood, and Emperor Laozi was really happy and said: "Yes, ordinary courtiers, eating together, I look at him awkwardly, or Sihualai's coolness." ”

Putting down the chopsticks, Zhu Youzhen stood up, took the towel and wiped his mouth, and said, "Kunxing, live up to this princess." ”

The pattern of the monarch and the minister playing the right role in the study, Chen Xie has always been very casual, not like an ordinary minister sitting on pins and needles, half of his butt is on the chair, and he is not tired of panic. Down-to-earth, Chen Xie held a teacup in one hand and smiled at Zhu Youzhen. He even took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, the main purpose of the minister's entry into Beijing this time is not to come for the New Year. There are some things that must be communicated with His Majesty first, and only after getting His Majesty's approval can the minister let go of it. ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "You say, I also want to hear it, you want to do something." ”

"There are too many things, and there are two most important things here, which must be said face to face. The first is that the minister wants to crusade against Dongying, and the external reason is very simple, and it is not pleasing to the eye. For internal reasons, Dongying does not cooperate with Daming merchants to make money. Chen Xie spoke in a very casual way, and when he said "it doesn't please him", Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but laugh knowingly.

"These small countries in the vicinity, the minister's intentions, all go on a trip, let them pay tribute every year in the future, ask for real money, and don't get some local products to exchange for real money and silver. This kind of good thing, the minister thought that it should not happen again. The location of that place in the Ryukyus was too important, and the minister planned to become a part of the Ming Dynasty. Dongying is related to the stability of the backyard of the Ming Dynasty for the next five hundred years, and he must be completely surrendered, which does not need any reason, it is to beat him. The position of the Ryukyus was too important for the minister's maritime supremacy, and the minister wanted to turn him into a part of the Ming Dynasty. There is also Mubang, after cleaning up Annam, the minister will go for a trip, take the sea route, Mubang's quilt is covered with mountains, and the south is the plain. The reason is to exterminate Zhang Xianzhong, Luo Rucai and other rogues. In fact, it doesn't matter if there is a reason or not, the important thing is that Mu Bangsheng is rich in gold, silver, copper and other metals. To put it mildly, it is guilty. ”

Chen Xie's words are not a routine at all with ordinary ministers, what looks at you unpleasantly, what is guilty, to put it bluntly, it is a truth, Lao Tzu is strong, he has taken a fancy to your family's money, if he wants to grab a vote, he will obediently serve it if he is interested, and he will clean you up ruthlessly if he is not interested. There is no reason for this, it is pure predatory.

But Zhu Youzhen listened to this to raise his anger, Da Ming has been very aggrieved both externally and internally over the years, and finally someone dares to speak so domineeringly. Thinking of the ancestor of the year, the 10,000-mile expedition, Zhu Youzhen only hated that he couldn't go on the expedition in person, so naturally he wouldn't say anything against it.

"Okay, I know about this, let's do it." Zhu Youzhen immediately expressed his position, and Chen Xie said with a smile: "I have to give Your Majesty a reminder, what kind of return gifts and other things are those people in the Ministry of Rites and Rites, it is enough to send three melons and two dates casually." The tribute sent, His Majesty can go directly into the inner treasury, and the return gift does not have to trouble the Ministry of Rites, those nerds, do not spend their own money, poor and generous. ”

Zhu Youzhen listened and nodded: "I know, you can talk about the next thing." Chen Xie took out a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it, spread it on the table, and said, "Your Majesty, please see, this is the shape of the train developed by the minister." As soon as Zhu Youzhen heard this, he immediately came to his senses, many of the things that Chen Xie did were definitely treasures. You look at the train, it's ugly, but it's powerful. "What's the use of this?"

"Your Majesty, this train can carry 200,000 catties and travel thousands of miles a day,......。" Chen Xie started the class, Zhu Youzhen listened very carefully, the look on his face became more and more solemn, the train is really as powerful as Chen Xie said, this thing is too important.

"Once the railway is repaired, it will only take two or three days for the train to travel from Jiangnan to Jingshi. Your Majesty thinks about it, no matter where there is something in the Ming Dynasty in the future, when you need to move troops, you can directly transport them by train, as long as there are enough locomotives and more than 10,000 troops, you can arrive in a few days, and you can also avoid the pain of long-distance travel for soldiers. This thing is really an important weapon of the country. ”

Even if Zhu Youzhen is a layman, he is frightened when he hears this. A thought flashed through my mind, from Liaodong to Jingshi, isn't it two or three days? But soon he was indifferent, such a powerful thing, Chen Xie said it clearly and clearly, this is the essence of loyalty.

Zhu Youzhen will not think that Chen Xie is a saint, and the reason for believing Chen Xie is that this product wants to be the king overseas and be the second bearded guest. That being the case, what is not acceptable? Thinking about this, Zhu Youzhen endured his excitement and said in a low voice: "This matter can be introduced in detail by Di Bao, and when it comes to implementation, it is better to implement it in Liaodong, Jiangnan, and Shandong provinces first." I also have a matter, I want to discuss with Aiqing, what do you think, starting next year, how about the implementation of a new commercial tax system across the country? If you follow the rules, you will be able to implement the council system the year after tomorrow. ”

Chen Xie shook his head and said, "The system of the Consultative Bureau should not be rushed. It is better to try it out in the three provinces for more than three years, and then promote it nationwide after summing up a set of mature experiences. If you have to expand the scope, you can consider Zhejiang Province. The new system of commercial tax was expected to be rolled out throughout the country. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded thoughtfully, still a little regretful in his heart. The advisory bureau system, he was the first to see the benefits, officials need supervision, it is not enough to rely on the imperial history alone, this is an internal self-inspection, and the imperial history is also an official. Relying on Jinyiwei and Dongchang is also unrealistic, the civil backlash is too great, and there is no deterrent effect on corrupt officials and corrupt officials. But the Consultative Bureau is different, they are also from the people, familiar with the situation, and they will supervise it, and the effect will be the best, and there will be no public grievances.

As for Chen Xie's desire to fight this and that, Zhu Youzhen even clapped his hands in agreement, in the past, fighting a war was a loss-making business, but now fighting a war is a money-making business, so naturally there is no resistance. A Batavia, he made millions of silver yuan, and a ton of gold, and this trade was a lot of profits. (To be continued......)
