With Zheng Zhilong here, if you want to get Japanese clothes, dress up as Japanese, and learn a few words of Japanese, Turtle Bai summoned eleven apprentices, plus several masters of Jinyiwei to the coast, preparing to go to Japan secretly under Zheng Zhilong's arrangement.

A conspiracy is about to unfold.

Ao Bai was not idle in the country, and used various methods to make money for the treasury. This year's tax revenue is 2.7 million taels more than in previous years, and this is still after the Liao salary has been removed.

In the past, corruption was not an implicit rule at all, but an explicit rule. The New Year's holiday is the busiest gift-giving season of the year, and there is a saying: "If you don't run, you don't send, you don't move; Only run and don't send, level transfer: run and send, and the superior reuses.

For example, when Cui Chengxiu was the secretary of the Ministry of War, he usually had four reactions to gift-giving: giving five hundred taels, he hummed, which means "your request will be considered"; Send three thousand taels, he oh, which means "you will definitely get the position you want": send five thousand taels, he sighs, which means "the result is better than you expected"; Send 10,000 yuan, and he will be amazed, and take the initiative to send a caring look, which means that you can choose the position you want at will within my authority. The Daming official field is so magical.

In the past, the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not investigate the problem of corruption, but when the corruption official case occurred, he said that accepting bribes was a courtesy exchange, and during the New Year's holidays, someone would always come to express his heart and send tens of thousands of taels of silver, all of which were good relationships and human relations. Although those who are officials usually come and go.

Now that Ao Bai has come to power, he is in big trouble. If you give him a gift, if you can't do it, you may be directly included in the black list. The people he reuses are also those who are not greedy. Whoever treats money like dung, he uses it.

"It's okay to have a personal exchange, just send some food and drink between friends. The amount is more than one hundred taels, waiting to be beheaded. ”

The court began to vigorously investigate and deal with corruption, corruption, and corruption, and it was found out that it was a capital crime of copying the family, and the ministers were much more honest.

"Qinglong" Wang Bao carried the sword of Shang Fang, and called a group of Jinyi Wei masters to go around the country, and they had already cut down many corrupt officials. The vacated positions are the most prestigious people selected by the local Baibi surnames, and this method has been supported by the Baibi surnames everywhere. Wang Bao became famous because of this, and was known as Bao Qingtian in the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the past taxes, the court relied on official merchants to carry out activities, and also made a lot of money. The results of the "Qinhuai Bayan Audition" were remarkable, and the court collected nearly one million taels of voting and advertising expenses in various places.

In addition, Mao Wenlong and Zheng Zhilong also started construction smoothly along the coast.

As soon as the two of them met, they lost their temper and became New Year's friends, and they became pirates, robbing merchant ships from all over the world, even the East India Corporation. Part of the property was given to the court, and the other part was divided among his own people. They also made a lot of money, but Ao Bai didn't talk about them, only let them see the benefits, in order to do it, more and more people want to be pirates in the future, the Ming Navy is sure to be invincible in the world. It's not necessarily a bad thing to have all the bad people.

Shaanxi has had another drought this year, but because farmers are allowed to pay taxes on grain for civilian use, the official warehouse is full of grain. In addition, people have also been sent to build water conservancy projects in Shaanxi. The governor of the three sides, Wu Zhiwang, had hope, and the northern Baiyuan surnames all had a good impression of the court.

After the Battle of Zunhua, Hari Chagai and Man Gui continued to stay at the border pass, they were Mongols, and it was easier to communicate with the people in the steppe. The court encouraged young officials to make peace with the Mongols, offering that the Mongols could move to the interior if they wished, which also greatly eased the situation at the border gates.

Aobai hopes that within more than ten years, Mongolia will become a dependency of the Ming Dynasty.

On this day, a happy event was ushered in in the palace, and Queen Zhou gave birth to a daughter. Because the children of the Emperor of the Apocalypse have all died, and this is the legitimate descendant of the old Zhu family, Queen Zhou hopes that she can live longer, and gives her the nickname Ajiu. Then let the fake father "Chongzhen" give her a big name.

"Chongzhen" didn't know what to call it, and Turtle Bai proposed to call it "Zhu Nenni." "Titled Princess Changping. Because Ah Jiu on the Blue Blood Sword is the princess of Changping. Although the nickname was different, he thought it might be the unlucky princess who had her arm cut off. Of course, she will not experience this kind of misfortune in this life, Gao Yingxiang happily disbanded the gang of the underworld association, and Li Ziwei has no chance to be the king in his life.

After talking to Queen Zhou for a while, everyone left the house, and Li Yan said to Aobai: "You are sometimes very kind-hearted, doesn't Queen Zhou know the inner story?" It's always a threat to stay, if you kill her at this time, say that she died in childbirth, no one knows. But you kept her alive anyway. ”

Turtle Bai smiled and said, "Don't you also know the inner story?" I know more than she does, should I find a way to kill you, too. Inherit? If you are willing to be on our side, do not kill.

There was no one in the palace to talk to her, she was just a poor weak woman, and I didn't want to do too much. ”

Li Yan sighed lightly, he actually wanted to see if Ao Bai would deal with him in the future. A hegemon should make it clear who is not good for him, but such a ruthless person is not what he admires.

And Ao Bai is also aware of one of Li Yan's characteristics. Although he has killed many people, he has not killed women and children, and he is still principled.

After a while, Li Yan asked, "I heard that you are going to the south?" ”

"Well, I want to go up with the emperor to participate in the finals of the Qinhuai Bayan audition held in Nanjing, and then go to the coast to inspect it.

The navy is the foundation of the development of the Ming Dynasty. Do you want to go together? I'm going to bring the ladies with me. ”

"Go, why not? I don't have anything to do with the city. With me as a bodyguard, you're much safer. "Li Yan used to practice very diligently, but now he is more relaxed. He was a little empty, because after the tenth layer, there was no way to cultivate the Golden Bell Jar. Without a clear prescription, he didn't dare to practice indiscriminately.

The next day, "Chongzhen" summoned important auxiliary ministers and talked about leaving the palace to go to Nanjing.

"Chongzhen" has been bored in the palace for too long, and he has long wanted to go out for a walk. The Son of Heaven guards the country, and now that the opponent is no longer attacking, this "goalkeeper" can also go out to play. Yao Xinyan has been a concubine, and she hasn't been out of the palace to play for a while, and both of them are very excited.

If it was in the previous form. "Chongzhen" is likely to be like Emperor Sui Chang when he left Jingyuan City, don't expect to come back.

All the ministers said that it was the first time for the emperor to leave the city, and the pomp and circumstance must be big. Let people worship the emperor's dragon power. It is better to spread the red carpet at the entrance of the palace, and the entourage should ride a fine white horse of the same color, with a good image, uniform clothing, and gold armor all over the city...,... Chongzhen frowned after hearing this, if so many people followed, how cautious it was, what did it mean? sighed: "Is Lian taking people to Nanjing with such fanfare?" Taifu, what do you think? ”

Turtle Bai smiled: "Of course, you can be as low-key as you can, dress up like an ordinary person and go out of the palace, and bring fewer people." Eat snacks from all over the world along the way, and chat with the people surnamed Baiyuan, so that the road is fun. ”

Li Biao smiled bitterly: "Lord Huang, the emperor is out of the palace for the first time, how can this be?" And it's not safe. Other ministers disagreed.

Ao Bai said with a smile: "The private interview of the micro-service is not for fun, so that we can better understand the suffering of the surname Baiyuan and the shortcomings of the court system." You can let the Jinyi Guards dress up as family members, and we can dress up as caravans, so that along the way, we can ask the people surnamed Bai Yuan what they think of the court, and if there are the most vicious officials, they can also be dealt with.

Bring a few cartloads of belongings and help people who are particularly poor. The unfair things along the way are all recorded, and they will be strictly investigated by Jinyiwei in the future. If you say it, there is pomp and circumstance, but what can the surname Baiyuan get? At most, he will envy everything the emperor has.

In this way, everyone thinks it makes a lot of sense.

"Chongzhen" clapped his hands and said: "Taifu said well, Lian decided to make a private visit to Weifu." I hope that this way I won't see the bullying and suppression of the surname Baiyuan. ”

To put it bluntly, the private interview of Weifu is to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger. When something happens, when the bad people are arrogant enough, the arrogance is over, and the identity of the emperor scares the other party half to death. "Chongzhen" thinks it's very funny.

Once you have made a plan, you will begin to determine who will go. Ao Bai suggested that in this team, he should bring a few Donglin Dang, all of whom are usually pampered after the Jinyi Guard's investigation. Sticker bar shake hands and play dedication. Of course, there is a purpose for doing this, and some Donglin Party members are too pedantic and ask them to go along, so that they can see what the world is really like, and not talk nonsense out of thin air. Speaking with facts, it is easier to prove something.

The accompanying ministers were the chief bookkeepers and stewards, and "Chongzhen" proposed to pretend to be brothers with Aobai.

As soon as this proposal was spoken, the ministers immediately collectively reverted. How can Ao Bai be the emperor's brother? This is not an equal to the emperor, but the emperor is on the same footing, if this is proposed by the turtle worship, they will definitely be guilty of this crime, evil and rebellion.

But "Chongzhen" felt that it didn't matter, and said with a smile: "Taifu is already older than me, and we are also brothers and sisters, why can't you use your brains less in this kind of thing." Even if it's an ordinary Baiyuan surname, as long as it's older than me, isn't it still a brother in terms of age? Since this is a private visit to Weifu, this arrangement will not let people see the flaws. ”

This is also discussed, if the turtle worships as the emperor in the future, he will have to use the identity of "Chongzhen" brother to let everyone adapt to it first.

Jin Yiwei quickly prepared the merchant's outfit and selected thirty masters. Plus Wenchen, family members. There are only 46 people in the team, Ao Bai, Li Yan, and Liang Bin are the bodyguards, and Hai Lanzhu, Su Meng'er, Anna, and Yao Xinyan are four girls going together. Yao Qianyu wanted to accompany her grandfather and grandmother at home, but Phoenix was not worried about Jianxiang and Feihong, so the two stayed at home. Although there were not many people, they brought a lot of chain crossbows. With this, you can ensure safety with one hundred.
