"How sinister is the trick of power!" Ding Yi let out a long sigh helplessly, and when he walked out of Donghua Gate, although he still had a smile on his face, he was deeply helpless in his heart. Because Empress Dowager Sun died at too bad time, if she returned to the palace, whether she hanged herself or drank medicine, it would not have much impact on Ding Yi, and Yingzong would see it clearly now, so he would not listen to her nonsense.

But she chose to die outside the Zhongguo Mansion, which is a big problem.

No matter how she is, she is also Yingzong's wife, no matter how good the relationship between Ding Yi and Yingzong is, the old lady drank medicine and died at the door of Ding's house, can this friend have some suspicions in his heart? Although there is nothing unusual about Yingzong now, because of the secret report of the factory guard, the bloodlines of Xuanzong, such as King De, King Chong, and the heirs of King Ji, all have the movement of going to Beijing in disguise.

In other words, if Shi Heng's plan is successful, Empress Dowager Sun may not let Zhu Jianshen succeed him.

But no matter how you say it, they are all Yingzong's mothers, and when Yingzong sits quietly and is alone, will he feel that it was Ding Yi who forced his wife to death? Ding Yi couldn't answer this question, and he didn't know what would happen if he was himself. Because he has gone through two lives, both are motherless children.

Empress Dowager Sun used her own death to leave far more than this slash between Yingzong and Ding Yi.

"Yizhi?" Ding Yi listened to Zhang Yu's advice and was stunned for a moment.

Zhang Yu smiled bitterly: "Yes, she specially taught Xia Shi to invite the chief secretary and the first assistant to come over, and then handed over the Yizhi to the two." ”

She is no better than Ding Yi, and she has no concept of being unable to do anything about Empress Dowager Sun Zhang Yu, but how to maximize benefits.

The current distress lies in the fact that if the Empress Dowager Sun dies in the rebellion. This basin can be directly deducted on the heads of Shi Heng and the others, and at that time, because of Ding Yi's feelings and many other factors. did not do this, and as a result, the rebellion subsided. After being invited by her to bring in two big guys, she is quite uncomfortable now.

And there is one thing that does not need to be said, that is, what is in that will?

"Don't think too much, let's start preparing for the conquest, and the palace can't wait." Ding Yi cleaned up his mood and gave Zhang Yu a dose of reassurance. This was the issue he discussed with Yingzong in the Qianqing Palace before the death of Empress Dowager Sun, that is, money. There is really no money in the Ming treasury, and the scholars do not pay taxes, and others who have something to do with the scholars will take refuge in the land, and the treasury will repeatedly raise taxes, so what can it do?

However, it is true that the taxes paid by Guangxi are originally considered poor frontiers in China, and the taxes paid are higher than a few other political envoys. One is that the land reform has been completed very thoroughly, and the cultivators have their own fields. Guangxi is not as rich as Huguang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but everyone has a little on their heads, even if it is 30 taxes and 1, and the landed people pay it. That's a lot of money.

Another is that the prototype of industrialization is basically there, and it is still expanding on a large scale, and Ding Yi does not plan to collect it according to the fifty taxes set by the imperial court. It's all in the name of modern value-added tax and so on, not in the name of taxes, of course. Instead, it is collected under the gimmick of patent royalties, and merchants in Guangxi and those who have business dealings with Guangxi. All paid the money honestly.

Because the technology is in the hands of the Metropolitan Governor's Office of the Four Seas, such as the textile factory of hydraulic transmission, do not hand it over? If you don't need to use force at all, you will be blacklisted directly, the bearing is broken, don't think about changing it to a new one, go to the master of Wang Gong Factory to get it, and it may not be suitable to spend two years to get it out - how many workshop owners know the master of Wang Gong Factory? Come on, if you don't pay it, you will close the stall directly.

Therefore, the tax revenue in Guangxi, even if the Metropolitan Governor's Office of the Four Seas intercepts a part of the flow and pays the tax money to the imperial court, it is enough to shock. The high commercial tax and the agricultural tax that everyone has a share in make the big guys in the court who are taboo against Ding Yi a headache. In terms of governing the world, Guangxi is there, Guangdong is also following up, and people's livelihood is getting better day by day; It's no problem to talk about Qian Ding, people say that it is a high merit, and Ding is a high master.

If you don't want to join forces with Shi, Sun and others to come to such a show, wouldn't you just look at it and not be at ease.

Rough said: Ding Yi is too awesome, awesome to a terrifying point.

But for Yingzong, at least before the death of Empress Dowager Sun, he was very happy, and felt that it was not wrong for him to trust Ding Yi, because he wanted to control the river again, so he asked Ding Yi to make money. At this hurdle of the Yellow River, no matter who sits on the dragon chair, no matter which year it is, it will not be able to escape this joint, even if there is no big problem, there will always be a small problem.

However, Empress Dowager Sun interrupted this qiē with her death.

Seven days have passed, and Yingzong did not go to court at all during these seven days, threw all the affairs of the court to Yu Qian and Chen Xun, and did not send anyone to invite Ding Yi into the palace.

I don't know what Empress Dowager Sun's purpose is, at least she used her death as a blade to cut the relationship between Ding Yi and Yingzong, but it really worked.

In the Zhongguo Mansion, it goes without saying that Cao Jixiang is restless, even Zhang Yu is also tightly locked.

But Ding Yi sent all kinds of affairs in an orderly manner: "Write to Wan An, I don't want to listen to the reason, let Du Mu at least load the six destroyers on the East China Sea Fleet with artillery, the battleships can be suspended, and the corresponding shells must be prepared; Xingwen went to Luzon, and Marven was promoted to the rank of chief, and he commanded the East China Sea Fleet; As far as Yunyuan went, Liu Tie led the 4th to 6th Marine Brigades, from the Temasek Transport Fleet, to the garrison. The other three newly organized marine brigades, Luzon, Java, and Arakan, were each stationed one, and Zhu Dong, He Tiedan, and Gong Juju agreed to report to them. ”

"Yes, it's all written down." Liu Ji's pen was very fast, as soon as Ding finished speaking, he stopped writing, repeated it again, and went down to draft the document, compiled it into a password, and took it to Ding Yi for a moment, and then used the seal, sent a communication officer, and went to the Tianjin garrison to board the ship and deliver it south.

However, Liu Ji finished his work, but did not leave, but asked Ding Yi carefully: "Sir, the queen mother died, or the saint blamed Mr., the disciple thinks that the heart of harming people must not be had, and the heart of preventing people is indispensable, it is better to make plans first, if in the Great Song Dynasty, Yue Wumu does not sigh 'Zhaozhao every day', then the state of the Great Song Dynasty is peaceful, or it is not!" The disciple is not for his own selfishness, nor for the sake of his husband, but for the people of the world, he has to give it! ”

According to what he said, he was afraid that Ding Yi would become Yue Fei, which would be bad for Huaxia and the people, so he persuaded him.

Even if Ding Yi obviously knew that this guy was, he had to admit that this guy was very artistic.

"Let the second division of the Ming Dynasty, officers above the battalion level, submit their resignations to the military department; On the Dragoon guard's side, it's the same. Soldiers who want to retire and return to the field can follow this example if they have served for five years. Therefore, the retired personnel, after getting the approval, will report to the military department section of the second division of the Ming Dynasty after assembling with the company; After Yang Shousui submitted his resignation, regardless of whether the military department approved it or not, he handed over the military affairs to the deputy position, and he presided over the retirement matters. After Ding Yi pondered for a while, he gave such an order to Liu Ji.

Liu Ji looked obviously relieved, without him, because in this way, the backbone of the Daming Second Division of the Dragoon Guard was withdrawn, these personnel are the backbone, as long as the source of troops and equipment keeps up and rebuilds an army, it really won't take much time.

"Did you send the excerpt from the Royal Military Academy? Give me a copy of the excerpt of the begging return, and send it as well. Ding Yi stopped Liu Ji, thought about it and said to him, "I will resign from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas and the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Anxi, and because of exhaustion, I will resign from the post of Yongzhen and Liangguang, and before March next year, please send someone to take over the affairs of the town guard in Guangdong; Before June next year, please send someone to take over the matter of guarding Guangxi; Before September next year, please send eunuchs from the inner court to take over the affairs of the Wuzhou factory and the factories in Yingde and Yunfu. ”

Liu Ji was taken aback, this is not even the old nest and the foundation! He subconsciously said: "Isn't Mr. Xu Disciple's future?" At that time, Ding Yi told him that as long as he showed his ability, he would go to sea and go west, and Liangguang and Dayuan, Luzon, Java and other places would be controlled by Liu Ji.

Ding Yi smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It's now, if it doesn't work then, I have to give you the official position over there in Egypt, don't worry, it's not a foreign place, and Egypt is also one of the four ancient civilizations." Although Egypt had the Mamluk cavalry as a formidable enemy, Ding Yi felt that there was always a way to deal with military difficulties, and he hated this kind of scheming.

After learning to read the map, Liu Ji naturally knew how big Egypt was, and with Ding Yi's words, he also made up his mind.

Besides, Yingzong didn't summon Ding Yi again for seven days, how could Liu Ji not know what this meant?

The unbreakable trust of this pair of monarchs and ministers who know each other and believe in each other finally has a gap due to the death of the Empress Dowager Sun.

"Ten years of hard work." After Liu Ji bowed and retreated, Zhang Yu said this to Ding Yi indifferently.

Ding Yi nodded, Zhang Yu put down the book in his hand, looked at Ding Yi and asked, "How many troops can go to sea with Mr.?" ”

This is not an expedition to the sea, according to Ding Fangcai's orders, it is completely abandoned in China.

Once you go to sea, you don't return.

"Huaxia Cangsheng, in Mr. Yu's heart, is it not as important as this friendship?" Zhang Yu finally said what Liu Ji and they didn't dare to say, "If Guangdong is judged according to the current situation, it will be under control in less than a year; Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shilin, there are many people who go to sea to serve as officials, three or five years, and the bad rules can be exhausted; Yunyuan and Guizhou are two places, and Mr. can be determined; Yunnan and Fujian are sandwiched in them, especially the East China Sea Fleet cruising off the coast of Fujian, and it is not allowed to do it in accordance with the regulations, otherwise it will only teach a 'Deng Maoqi', and within three or two years, it will be the other two Guangxi, and I can see that the Muwangfu and Fujian Zhugongs in Yunnan may not not be incomprehensible. ”

Ding nodded, what Zhang Yu said was the truth.

"The long is five years, the short is three years, the seven places have announced that the political envoys have done their best to implement the new policy, all of them are under control, and the people of the seven places are happy, which is not comparable to this friendship for Mr.? Back then, when the saint went to the north hunting, Yu Shi once said, 'Jun is light!' 'Dare to ask Mr. today, which is more important!' (To be continued......)
