Chapter 260: Huang Enhao
Many of the actions of the Emperor of the Apocalypse are indeed strange to those who supposedly abide by tradition.
However, Sun Chengzong was not so conservative, of course, people who have read books all their lives still feel that the Emperor of the Apocalypse has many things that should not be said.
But what, I can't change it!
Once you get used to it, you can slowly accept it.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was still in high spirits, and ordered Zhang Jingyi to stay, while the others retired one after another.
After everyone was gone, only the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian, and Zhang Jingyi were left behind, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "What do you think of Zhang San?" ”
Zhang Jing smiled and said, "I don't know what Brother Wei thinks." ”
Wei Zhongxian was actually the most able to guess the thoughts of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has released Zhao'an's imperial list, but so far, only this Sanken is sincere to serve, pirates are overseas, not like inland, there is a king's law inland, but if you go to the sea, you can be lawless." It's rare that this Zhang San still has loyalty in his heart, so the slave thinks that she should give more sweetness to this Zhang San. ”
Wei Zhongxian paused, and then said: "On the one hand, it is to show that the imperial court is lenient, and secondly, it is also to show the other pirates, let them know that Your Majesty is not to blame in the past and is willing to treat overseas people equally. ”
"What's more, this time Zhang San brought thousands of people ashore, and these people ...... The vast majority of them were good people of my Ming Dynasty in the past, but in fact, they ...... I just couldn't survive anymore, so I went to the sea to be a thief. Now that they are so acquainted, what the court has to do now is to make a safe settlement, especially the old and weak women and children, and they must not be lazy, so that those men see that His Majesty is so generous, and naturally do their best, and want to fight to the death. The East India Company, the slaves and maids have also studied, but all those who go to the sea to run the boat, all of them pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers, there is a way that the emperor is not bad for hungry soldiers, these people use it well, they can naturally share the worries for His Majesty, and the usability is not good, I am afraid that they will go to the sea to be thieves again. ”
Wei Zhongxian immediately said lightly: "If they go to the sea again, or if there is any estrangement between them and the imperial court, I am afraid that this great policy of sea trade cannot be implemented, and the people of the world will laugh at Your Majesty." ”
If the sea trade cannot be implemented, it is the loss of interests.
The jokes of the people in the world are just losing face.
This last sentence can be said to have directly hit the nail on the head of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded and said, "Wei Banban is right, this matter is ...... The stakes are very important, these people, to be placed safely, to show the generosity of the court, I think about it, Wei Companion, you have to worry about this matter. ”
Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Yes." ”
Zhang Jingyi sat on the side, thinking to himself, Wei Zhongxian clearly wanted to win over Zhang San.
Is it just because Zhang San speaks nicely?
Obviously, it's not just that, Wei Zhongxian is an extremely smart person, and when he thinks about it, he is also beginning to see it.
He Wei Zhongxian can win the trust of His Majesty, on the one hand, it is the Emperor of the Apocalypse who values his feelings, and on the other hand, it is Wei Zhongxian who can really bring benefits to the emperor, such as Wei Zhongxian, over the years, under great pressure, released many town guard eunuchs, so that these town guard eunuchs collect mining taxes everywhere in the world.
And the biggest problem of the Ming Dynasty is that the taxes cannot be collected, and if they cannot be collected, it means that the emperor is poor, and even the Liao salary has to be in arrears all the time.
But Wei Zhongxian can collect taxes, although these taxes are a drop in the bucket, but it is better than nothing.
To put it bluntly, this is charcoal in the snow, and it is life-saving money.
And this time, Wei Zhongxian quickly realized that His Majesty's decision might be right, and Haimao might really make money, not to mention the shares of the East India Company that were sought after by countless people.
Let's just say that Zhang San, good guy, directly offered goods worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
This is just one of the pirates, if Daming monopolizes the sea trade, wouldn't this be equivalent to giving Daming an extra cornucopia, and the wealth is rolling?
Wei Zhongxian knew very well the importance of wealth to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but he needed a grip, only like the mining tax, through the eunuchs he appointed, firmly grasped the sea trade, then his power could be as stable as a rock.
In Wei Zhongxian's view, Zhang San is a good starting point, as long as he is wooed, he is responsible for expanding maritime trade and bringing wealth to the emperor continuously!
As for Wei Zhongxian, he generously gave Zhang San a promotion and eliminated all kinds of hidden dangers for him, he would naturally be dead set on Wei Zhongxian, then, in terms of sea trade, even if Zhang Jingyi had already intervened first, Wei Zhongxian could control a large part of it, and His Majesty would naturally rely more on Wei Zhongxian.
Zhang Jingyi had to admire Wei Zhongxian's vision and decisiveness, he may have limitations elsewhere, but in this regard, he is simply a fighter among hens.
Of course, that Zhang San is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, Zhang Jingyi can see that this Zhang San is a loach, although it is not insidious and cunning, but when he goes to the sea, he can kill people, and he said that he wants to land, and those unruly pirates will not hesitate to follow him!
What does this mean? He has strong organizational skills.
When he arrived in the capital, it can also be seen that he sees things very accurately, this kind of person ...... God knows what kind of person it will be in the future.
At least, this three of them became their own people with Wei Zhongxian in a few moments, and the relationship with Zhang Jingyi seems to be good.
Now, it has also left a deep impression in the heart of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, this is only a day of fucking work.
Zhang Jingyi suddenly felt that although he had the advantage of being a traverser, he was slightly lacking in this regard.
Zhang Jingyi has always been studious, huh...... If you have kung fu, you have to learn it well.
At this time, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "Those old and weak are placed in other places, and I am not at ease, so I am worried that there will be officials to oppress them...... Otherwise, let's settle them in Xinxian, I am most at ease with Zhang Qing. ”
He looked at Zhang Jingyi and said, "This matter, Zhang Qing will deal with it." ”
Zhang Jingyi responded: "The minister obeys the order." ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse sighed and said, "I repeat, if I don't take such an example, I must not take such a risk again in the future." ”
Zhang Jingyi understood that the Emperor of the Apocalypse cared about him sincerely, and his heart couldn't help but warm, and he said: "At that time, the minister only thought about sharing his worries for His Majesty, and did not care about the consequences. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled and comforted again: "You are afraid now, just know." ”
After saying that, he stood up, the smile on his face became softer, and he said with great interest: "Let's go to Concubine Zhang's with me, let's go and see Changsheng together." ”
"Ah......" Zhang Jing said: "Deep Palace Forbidden Garden, I'm just afraid...... Not good. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse said disapprerovingly: "You are a relative of the emperor, what is the hindrance." ”
Zhang Jingyi said in embarrassment: "The minister is actually afraid that someone will gossip. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse shook his head: "Actually, if you don't go, there are also people who gossip and have mouths on others, can you take care of it?" ”
Zhang Jingyi was also happy, and when she arrived at Concubine Zhang's bedroom, Zhang Suhua was naturally overjoyed when she saw Zhang Jingyi, but she was in the way of the face of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, but she didn't say much.
The immortal came, and after not seeing him for many days, he suddenly grew a lot bigger, and when he saw people, he began to smile.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse danced with his hands, teased for a while, and said happily: "You see, it's exactly the same as me, not only that, but also very smart." ”
Zhang Jing looked sideways and vertically, but she didn't see that she was very smart.
Of course, after all, it is his nephew, Zhang Jingyi nodded very seriously: "Yes, he smiled when he saw me, it can be seen that he still remembers the minister, he is really smart." ”
Changsheng just kept holding his hand and stretching it out.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse thought that his little hand wanted to grasp him, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand.
Who knew that Changsheng tried his best to stuff his little fist into his mouth, and at this moment, as if his heart was satisfied, he curled up happily, and ignored the things outside.
…………
Zhang San left the palace, and there were already officials from the Ministry of Rites waiting outside, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites asked him to take a break for a while.
Zhang San said to the human: "I walked around at will, the first time I came to the land, I wanted to look around." ”
The officials who came with the Ministry of Rites thought it was funny in their hearts, such pirates, I am afraid that they have never seen anything in the world, so they came to the capital and wanted to wander around.
Now, Zhang San obviously has the status of a good citizen, and judging from all indications, he should be going to get an official position, so this person said: "Then I will transfer two messengers with you." ”
Zhang San didn't say anything, knowing that if there was no one who sent him, the people in the Ministry of Rites would not be at ease.
However, the two messengers came with a reluctant face, and when Zhang San gave them a piece of silver each, they cheered up and became enthusiastic all of a sudden.
"Where is Zhang Ye going to go, why don't you go to the Gongyuan, the Gongyuan is lively."
"There is also a temple nearby...... Incense is the most prosperous ......"
Zhang San said: "The old man just wants to walk around at will, by the way, when I was in the sea, I heard that there is a place in the capital called Qingpingfang...... I'd like to check it out. ”
After hearing this, the two messengers looked at each other, and one of them smiled and said: "Speaking of Qingpingfang, then ask the right place, that place is also very lively, even so, my brothers and I will go with Zhang Ye." ”
Zhang San smiled: "There is labor." ”
It's just that inadvertently, the corners of Zhang San's eyes seem to be a little moist.
Fortunately, he had turned his head away and was not noticed.
These two errand officers are chattering, introducing the customs and customs along the way.
Zhang Sandao: "In the place of Qingpingfang, I heard that some orphans of the factory guards lived, but now I don't know what happened?" ”
"It's different now, now that place, but every inch of land is expensive, it's now called Xinxian, I don't know how many people want to move there! Zhang Ye is knowledgeable, does he want to settle there in the future? ”
