Chapter 62: The Boat of Friendship
You are deceitful. β
Zhu Houzhao also pouted, "Countries can be deceitful, but people can't be deceitful." β
"Zheng Boke Duan Yu Yan, Lu Zhong Lian is not Emperor Qin, the former is deceitful and the latter is loyal, however, the two are equally resourceful, Lu Zhong is not eloquent and deceitful, how did he get this eternal reputation? Zhuang Gong once asked his subordinates, relying on the spirit of the ancestors of heaven and earth, the power of Zhuqing, the battle will be won, Wei Jiagong, how about the ancient Fang Bo? Only with great ambitions can we achieve a thousand years of hegemony. β
Jian Ning said lightly: "If Your Majesty wants to become a promising king, you must first deceive the way. β
The soup spoon in Zhu Houzhao's hand fell into the bowl, and his eyes widened: "Where did you learn this kind of imperial mental technique?" β
"The insight of the world is all knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the article. The folk girl doesn't understand the emperor's mental skills, she only knows the past and the present, and the unknown things are in the history books. is like a folk girl, in order to live, after I have a Jane family, I have to take off my red makeup, show up, and be instructed. β
She looked at Zhengde, "Your Majesty, sometimes for the sake of ideals, there must always be sacrifices. β
"The insight of the world is all knowledge, and the practice of human feelings is the ...... of articles"
Zhu Houzhao muttered, and couldn't help but say, "That's a good point." β
Jian Ning got up and saluted, "The people's daughter is presumptuous today, discussing the government in vain, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive her sins." β
"Where is this a presumptuous discussion of government affairs? With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed up, with history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall, and with people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses. β
He suddenly laughed, "I finally know why I didn't speak to you a few times today. β
He paused and said, "Because what you say is the truth, and you are a person who understands." Those who are impatient with scheming are the ones who really see through the world. β
Zhu Houzhao sighed softly, "It's a pity that I can't see through it." What you said, in fact, my father taught me, but I just don't want to. In this world, after all, it is still me, how can anyone really want to ruin their own family business? It's just that the water in the court is deep, and at this point, many things are no longer within my control. Let's just talk about the things in the field, hehe......"
He sneered a few times, "The country has been raising scholars for a hundred years, showing talents, lifting people, and jinshi are all exempted." However, if someone is admitted to the fame, there are many villagers who are like-minded. As the years go by, the country can collect less and less land endowments, and this group of people has the mouthpiece of the world, even if I know, what can I do? Isn't my father wiser than me? He didn't do it, so how could I? β
"If you can't do it, you can make up your mind."
Jian Ning said: "Your Majesty has the heart to cut the carrion, and he can endure the pain, but I'm afraid he can't bear it." β
"Who said I couldn't bear it?!"
Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt underestimated, but thinking about what has happened since he ascended the throne, "I can't see any hope......
He pushed the sour plum soup away and sighed softly, "The most painful thing in this world is that you can foresee everything but can't stop him. Why did the people in Jiangxi revolt? Hehe, isn't it because you can't live anymore? But what can I do? What else can I do? It's not my decision in this world at all! I also know how to encourage agriculture and pay for the fields, but even if I put the money in the inner treasury on it, I can't feed the mouths of the people of the world! β
Jainen was silent for a while. Although I used to read history books, I also guessed that Zhengde rebelled precisely because he was suppressed. But she didn't know that Zhu Houzhao was not confused, and he even knew very well where the country's ills were. And because of this, he lived a miserable life.
Thinking of this, I feel some sympathy in my heart.
As he said, what else can you do if you have nothing to do and don't entertain yourself?
She has said too much about the court today, and if this word spreads, she will have to be spoken. It's just that what Zhengde said today made her change her mind a little, and when she thought about the world history at this moment and later, she had some hidden impulses, and she actually hoped that Zhengde could do something to change China's fate.
This year is the fourth year of Zhengde, 1508 AD, the beginning of the sixteenth century, and the great voyages of the West have been going on for decades, the Portuguese have even reached Southeast Asia, Columbus has also discovered the American continent, in a few years, there will be a European named Vasco NΓΊΓ±ez de Balboa will build the first colonial city there, and the Portuguese will also worship the Chinese emperor a few years later......
What a good time......
She sighed softly in her heart. Behind the bloody and violent era, there is also a magnificent and gorgeous side.
Europe is also rising because of this, the Chinese will not engage in massacres, but the Chinese will farm. They did not know that on the other side of the sea there was countless land to cultivate, enough for their children and grandchildren to eat, and in this Age of Discovery, if the weak must obey the strong, Jian Ning thought, perhaps being enslaved by the Chinese is the best choice.
After all, the love of peace and morality has been engraved into the bones, and the Chinese nation has never been a nation that is good at killing, as long as you identify with my culture, you are your own person.
Seeing that Jian Ning was silent, Zhu Houzhao said, "Why don't you speak?" β
Jian Ning shook his head lightly and sighed, "I just didn't expect Your Majesty to be so distressed." β
After a pause, he said: "Actually, if Your Majesty wants to do things, you must first have silver, and if Your Majesty uses your own money to hire people to mess around, I don't think the ministers can say anything." Of course, this money cannot be made by squeezing the people. β
"Am I going to be a merchant?"
Zhu Houzhao's face was sarcastic, "I don't mind pulling down my body to do business, but can those ministers agree?" β
Stupid boy!
Jian Ning pouted, and Zhu Houzhao immediately shouted: "You pouted again?!" Are you mentally orchestrating me? β
"How dare the people's daughter?"
She was respectful, "It's just that the people feel that there are many things that can make money in this world, why are they staring at that one-third of an acre?" As His Majesty said, there is a definite number of land, and there is also a definite number of what comes out, that is, how much can be fried by putting it in an oil pan dozens of times? Moreover, one person is a businessman for profit, and a monarch is a state affair for profit, how can one humble and one noble be the same? β
Zhu Houzhao's eyes widened, and slowly brightened, "Jian Yunshu, I found out, you are really a person with a lot of hearts, ghosts and ghosts." β
Seeing her pouting again, he smiled and arched his hand, "Please also teach me, sir." Today|If this conversation between you and me is successful, the coming day will surely shine through the ages, like a longzhong pair. β
How dare you compare!
Compare yourself to Liu Bei! If Liu Yuanjun and other heroes had you such good basic conditions, they would have gone to Southeast Asia as soon as possible.
"No matter how many people have eyes, they can't compare to Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang is so treacherous, but His Majesty doesn't say it, but reveres it......"
"You're really a little cautious."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said: "Okay, okay, don't have a small nose and small eyes, you women in Jiangnan are so hypocritical?" Our northern women are so straightforward, how can they be as twisty and winding as you? Pouting again? Okay, well, I'm careful, I want to learn deceit, right? Zhang Yong, you send someone to the leopard room, let the palace officials make some food and wine, and I want to drink with my husband to discuss the world. β
After that, he squeezed his eyes and said, "In the future, it can be compared to green plum wine." β
Make up shameless, I can really stand you!
Jian Ning was speechless about the bear child's cheekiness, and now he really couldn't understand this guy. Let's say he's wise, that remark just now is indeed very wise. Let's call him a jerk, sometimes it's really a jerk, such as narcissism......
Rao didn't get along a few times, and Jian Ning also saw that this guy was very narcissistic. He is now like a talented person, and he always feels that he is suppressed by the minister and cannot display his talents. It cannot be said that the ministers are wrong, but it cannot be said that Zhu Houzhao is absolutely right.
It can only be said that the mule is pulled out for a walk! It's hard to say.
Zhang Yong silently withdrew, only to feel that his heart was beating hard. When she said these words just now, she winked at herself, did she really have some kind of trick to hint that she was going to snatch it?
Thinking of this, there was a hint of fierceness in his eyes, and he summoned his two henchmen and said: "Warn, those who are waiting in the house, if they dare to leak half a word about today's affairs, they will be killed!" β
asked people to go back and arrange the imperial meal, and Zhang Yong immediately returned to the Son of Heaven to serve. He was really curious about what Jian Yunshu was capable of, could add income to the treasury and still plug the mouths of the ministers?
Someone was more curious than him, only to see Zhu Houzhao's eyes as bright as light bulbs, staring at Jian Ning, and said expectantly: "Sir, let's talk about it, what can make money and make the ministers unable to pick out thorns?" β
The people of the old Zhu family love money to the core, which is evidenced by history, just look at the salaries they pay officials. Zhu Houzhao is no exception, when he hears the word money, where does this guy still look like an emperor? I almost stuck out my tongue.
Of course, the handsome man's obscene appearance is also eye-catching, Jian Ning looked at his expectant eyes, inexplicably remembered the little teddy raised by the neighbor, and his heart softened, so he said: "Taizu only said that the ruler board is not allowed to go to sea, and the coastal residents are not allowed to trade with foreign people......"
She said softly: "But I didn't say that the imperial court is not allowed to trade with Fanren, what does this foreign barbarian like me the most?" β
"Tea, silk, porcelain!"
Zhang Yong's eyes lit up, his body trembled uncontrollably, and he stammered: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I only say that ordinary people can't do it, but I don't say ......."
He blushed excitedly, "The tribute is a loss, but if it is ......"
Zhengde frowned, "If you do such a thing, I'm afraid it will damage the face of the Heavenly Empire." In this case, what should happen when the Japanese invade? β
"Your Majesty, have you ever heard that the Song Dynasty was in trouble?"
Jian Ning said: "The foreign barbarians like my Ming things, but now I don't have much to offer, what means can I use if I can't buy them?" Naturally, you have to steal and rob ...... Hehe, can retreat stop the Japanese from coming? Why do officials in the south advocate opening the sea? Why didn't Your Majesty send a caring person south to visit? β
"I'm afraid that the courtiers will object to such a statement."
Zhang Yong said with a bitter face: "Actually, the first emperor and His Majesty have both had this thought, and it is not appropriate to be a courtier. Those local officials in the south have asked for the sea to be opened, but they ......"
His face turned bitter, "Sir, your method is good, but in the final analysis, you still have to open the sea, even if the court trades with the Fanren, it will still be said by the people to disregard the national body and lose their temperament." β
"Who said the court was going to trade with them?"
Jian Ning smiled: "Your Majesty only needs to send a trusted person to do this, and fill the inner treasury." Your Majesty is the world, Fanren and Your Majesty's trade is also trade with the Ming Dynasty, Taizu is benevolent, reluctant to suffer his descendants, His Majesty is now worried about money, and Taizu will not bear to see it. β
She paused and said: "The people's daughter thinks that Father-in-law Liu is very good, and the people's daughter heard in her hometown that Father-in-law Liu is quite powerful in suppressing corrupt officials, and she is talented and a close friend of Your Majesty, if you let your father-in-law do it, the people's daughter dares to bet that she can earn back at least a few million taels of silver for Your Majesty in a year." β
"How much do you say?!"
Zhengde's hand shook, "A few million taels?!" Are you kidding? β
Zhang Yong was also confused: What do you mean? Why don't you recommend Liu Jin, that old brute, and don't recommend me?! Has the boat of friendship capsized?!
