The pattern of chapters 132 is smaller

If you can get a feudal official in the court, which one will be a stupid person?

But the unfortunate thing is that no matter how smart a person is, he will only predict tomorrow based on the history he experienced yesterday.

It will be clear to each of us who come after us that the development of history is an exponential acceleration, both for good and for bad.

If it is in a good direction, it is like a straight upward curve, and everyone is like sitting on the elevator and enjoying the benefits of ascending. If it develops on the bad side, then at the end of a slowly downward curve, you will suddenly encounter a downward cliff, and everyone will fall down and die thoroughly.

And the contradiction between Zhu Youzhen and these important ministers of the court is actually a prediction of the future.

Zhu Youzhen clearly knows the countdown of the Ming Dynasty and the countdown of his own life, even so, in less than a year, he will have the illusion that the life of an emperor can go on forever.

And these ministers are even more short-sighted in their thinking. In all their energy, their own future, this year's filial piety, the views of the upper echelons on themselves, and the development of the family have occupied all the brain capacity, how could they ever think and judge the future.

Therefore, it is painful for people to see the future, and this pain is actually not understood and supported.

What Zhu Youzhen needs most now is actually the patience to deal with these smart people and the satisfaction of their fundamental interests.

"Xiong Qing's family has lived in Fuzhou Mansion for a long time, and when he first arrived in Beijing, can he still adapt to the climate? Recently, the famous doctor Wu Youxing has been sitting in the Tai Hospital and teaching students, and the Qing family can also go to take a look at the body when they are free, and I still expect you to bear the burden for a few more years. ”

Zhu You inspected the teacup.

"This is the big red robe on the Fuzhou Mansion. The palace was quite displeased, thinking that this tea was too rough and tasteful, but I didn't think so. Looking back, I took this as a tea for hospitality in the palace, and also gave tea farmers in Fuzhou a lot of livelihoods. ”

Xiong Wencan spoke a little bluntly just now, and he didn't know how much the emperor had heard, so he was a little uneasy. Hearing the emperor say this, he quickly left his seat, bowed down and said:

"Your Majesty is concerned. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, this is the first time that a minister has faced a saint. The minister's body is still full, but his teeth have increased in his years, but he is also the same as the Fujian rock tea in His Majesty's hands, the older he gets, the more vulgar his temperament becomes. I can't get into the hall of elegance, so that His Majesty laughs. ”

"Hahaha."

Zhu Youzhen secretly scolded in his heart that he was an old fritter again, but he didn't care. People are almost sixty years old, and in the current average age of thirty-seven years old, those who can live to this age can really do whatever they want.

"It's the first time we've seen each other, and the Xiong Qing family doesn't have to be strict about etiquette, and don't give gifts at every turn. Several members of the military department and the cabinet have mentioned your Xiong Wencan's name many times in my ears, and I am actually very curious. Now, you can relax and take a good look at me. I also relaxed and chatted with everyone. ”

Xiong Wencan also breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. If others don't know about their own affairs, how can he not know about himself.

A few years ago, a group of old officials from the sub-household department took the people of Cile Ye to go through the entire account books of Fuzhou Mansion in the past ten years. There is no problem with the account books of any state capital in the world, not to mention that in the past five years, Fuzhou has almost been one of the places with the largest inflow and outflow of silver and commodities. Among them, all kinds of hands and feet are full of tricks. When I left, the people who checked the accounts of the household department were not finished. I don't know if there is a secret fold for the little emperor to see.

When he arrived in Beijing, he couldn't say that he was the backer of his capital to become the prince of the country, but he was locked up in the prison of the criminal department for the little emperor. It is a bit too much to say that he is a person who is the Duke of Chengguo. But he didn't pay less filial piety to Cheng Guogong on weekdays, nor did he arrange Cheng Guogong in the southeast guard army. Of course, Cheng Guogong did not give himself any less peace. Xiong Wencan, who was bluffing, hurriedly sent his housekeeper back to Fuzhou, and some of the beginnings and ends, letterheads, really need to be dealt with quickly.

At the same time, he also met many fellow villagers, peers and students during this time. Many people say it vaguely, but they also more or less express their dissatisfaction with the current Son of Heaven.

Since coming to power, a great eunuch, two state dukes, countless generals and guerrillas of the Jingying, Xuanda, and Liaodong, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the squires of the six departments have been dismissed. In addition to the military department and the Terracotta Division, there is another military department, plus the military's army academy and the cabinet's administrative academy, and the new policies and reforms are all kinds of actions.

The people Xiong Wencan met were not necessarily affected by this change, and some of them were actually the beneficiaries of this change. However, everyone under the existing system of the imperial court has become accustomed to a stable life day after day and a constant sixty percent year after year, and always does not like change, let alone reform.

In the past few months in Beijing, some officials from Shanxi and Huguang have invited him in the name of listening to music with papers. After going there a few times, Xiong Wencan also found that these people were secretly and silently linked, some were helping to protect themselves, and some were ill-intentioned. Since a few times, Xiong Wencan has also closed his door, determined not to participate in these slimy things.

Listening to the tone of the little emperor, there seemed to be no malice.

"Let's talk about it first today." Bi Zisu was relatively close to Zhu Youzhen, but Zhu Youzhen skipped him and looked at Hong Chengchou directly and said.

"Hong Qing's family is Yanyan, and he is also from Nan'an, Fuzhou?"

Zhu Youzhen has a note from the eunuch Wu Zhi in his hand, which is the background of every time he wants to meet someone. Under Zhu Youzhen's training, Wu Zhi became more and more like a senior secretary.

"The minister is terrified."

Under the concept of monarchs and ministers, Hong Chengchou was a little excited to see that although his new emperor His Majesty was young, he was so familiar with his own situation. Hurriedly got up and knelt down.

"Your Majesty is concerned about the ministers, and the ministers have nothing to repay, so I wish my emperor long live the Holy Ann."

At this time, Hong Chengchou was not the Hong Chengchou who surrendered, and now he still has great confidence in himself in this court, and he has not yet been polished by reality to the extent that he is more sad than dead.

"Get up, don't kneel, don't kneel. When I went back to my imperial meeting, you knelt down and I knelt down, and the atmosphere that I had so hard to make was gone. ”

Hong Chengchou didn't understand it a little, but he also heard the four words of the imperial meeting.

For those of them who have complex minds and wish to have 10,086 hearts, every word spoken by His Majesty the Emperor naturally has his intentions. Under this excitement, he knelt down again, who had just stood up.

Yes, Zhu Youzhen looked helpless, but he could only watch him kneel and finish the ceremony.

"We have already met in Biqing's family, and I was supposed to tell you about the Grain Industry Bureau and the Baoquan Bureau today. But I didn't expect to receive two resignations from you and your brother. ”

When talking to Xiong Wencan and Hong Chengchou, Zhu Youzhen was full of spring breeze. When he turned his head to talk to Bi Zisu, he had a straight face.

Plop, the old man said kneel and knelt. Seeing this situation, Xiong Wencan and Hong Chengchou, who were about to leave their seats, were forced to sit down by Zhu Youzhen's eyes.

"The cabinet also thinks that my approach is inappropriate, and the officials also feel that my approach is inappropriate, and I can still hold on. But when I saw the excerpt between you and your brother, and said that what I did was not right. Aren't you just a slap in the face? ”

Now this set of Zhu Youzhen is very familiar with playing, he will be happy and angry, anyway, emotions always serve the purpose.

But as he spoke, Zhu Youzhen felt that he was really angry.

"Your Majesty's atonement, it's the old minister who is unconscious."

In a word, let Bi Zisu, who was kneeling on the ground, know what the problem was. They all looked at this issue from the perspective of maintaining their reputation as Shilin and their reputation as officials.

But...... Next, I heard Zhu Youzhen's angry rebuke.

"Everyone loves their feathers more than they do things. I don't know your past as Lord Bi Zisu? In Liaodong, it provided logistical food and grass for the army. Aren't you going to ask for supplies from your brother? Have you ever coveted a point for yourself? ”

Zhu Youzhen likes Bi Zisu better than his brother Bi Ziyan. This committed suicide because he lost the city and lost the military plane. To be honest, this is the stroke bone of the Ming Army.

"If I don't find out you clearly, can I prepare the right to give you the right to mint coins, salt and iron, and grain monopoly?"

"Minister...... Panic ......"

When Bi Zisu just knelt down, there was still a sense of resentment. Asking for suspicion is also the practice of Ming officialdom? However, when he heard His Majesty's recognition of his past, and remembered the hardships he had suffered for the army's rations every year and the equipment for every expedition when he was the governor of Liaodong, he couldn't help shedding tears.

Zhu Youzhen was also a little unbearable, looking at the thin white-haired and white-bearded old man wearing a wide official uniform, lying there crying with snot and tears. I was about to reach out and help.

But he heard a laugh, and when he looked back, Minglan was still acting as his bodyguard, and handed over a handkerchief while covering his mouth.

Zhu Youzhen glared at her, and then took the handkerchief and helped the old man up.

"But I said something wrong?"

"Your Majesty's mind understands. Your Majesty is relieved, and the minister will do his best to die. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at the old man who was still a little stubborn.

"In this world, since the death of my imperial brother, I have only understood a truth. Death is the easiest thing in the world. The so-called living with a burden is the most difficult, let's encourage each other. Also, I won't let you carry such a heavy burden alone, and Chen Zilong, a closed disciple under Xu Guangqi's name, is also familiar with the currency and trade of the Franco. But I don't have a name for myself yet, and I'm thinking of putting him under you. ”

"The minister is clear."

His Majesty the Emperor said this, and Bi Zisu was relieved. His Majesty didn't arrange for people to see ghosts, arranged people, and deliberately explained his background, which can be regarded as a frank play.

"Xiong Qing's family and Hong Qing's family, they will also support Bi Qing's family in the future."

These two know better that His Majesty the Emperor will not act in front of him in vain. At least I told myself that the Food Industry Bureau will definitely be the most important new institution of the imperial court in the future. At the same time, this institution will definitely sink to the place.

"Originally, I wanted to show you the military tickets and official tickets in person, but I didn't expect Xiong Aiqing to show you first."

Zhu Youzhen beckoned, and Wu Zhi handed over a few brocade bags. Zhu Youzhen divided them one by one.

"In addition to the three military ticket samples, there are 100 new Ming silver dollars, one of which is a multicolored silk thread wrapped silver dollar made by the queen herself, which can be regarded as the queen giving a little blessing and heart to her nephew in the next life."

"That's the biggest thing I've had in 10 years. Xiong Aiqing wrote to me several times, telling me about the Zheng family, and also mentioning the matter of silver. I'm all staying. Xiong Qing's family, you talk about it. ”

Xiong Wencan felt that his age was a little old, and he was still admiring the new silver dollar given by the emperor just now, but suddenly he heard His Majesty the Emperor call his name. Quickly sat up straight, thought for a while and said:

"The Zheng family has now become the largest maritime merchant on the southeast coast. Of course," Xiong Wencan looked at the emperor's face, and then said:

"The maritime merchant is also him, and the pirate is also him. As soon as the flag is changed, the clothes are changed, and who can say clearly what is going on at sea. And His Majesty didn't know that the imperial court trained a skilled soldier, and one season was enough. But training a soldier who can handle a boat on the sea is not feasible in a year. If you want to train a captain who can command a seagoing ship, you can't do it without five years. ”

After a pause, he asked His Majesty the Emperor to digest his words.

Zhu Youzhen didn't care, stood up and paced back and forth, waving his hand to signal him to continue.

"In addition, recently, whether it is big or small, Franco, Spaniards, and other countries that boast of being sea coachmen, have also disturbed our maritime borders, and they are also officials during the day and thieves at night, and they cannot be guarded against. If you don't deal with it well, I'm afraid you also need to prepare early to become the next Liaodong. ”

"It is mainly the above two points that the minister wants to make the Zheng family submit to the imperial court."

"Hmm."

Zhu Youzhen asked for a blank piece of paper and a pencil from Wu Zhi's hand. The tea set was removed, and three people were beckoned to come up.

In a few strokes, the coastline from Tianjin to the present Vietnam from the Ming Dynasty was roughly outlined. Then the surrounding countries from the East China Sea to the South China Sea were marked. A brief introduction while marking, Dongying, Ryukyu, Okinawa, Taiwan, Luzon, Malay, Malacca, Champong, Laos.

"Xiong Aiqing's matter about whether to recruit the Zheng family or not, you will go to the military department tomorrow to communicate with Inspector Sun. I want to say here that if I surrender, I will have to completely rectify the code of conduct like the Royal Army Academy. If you don't meet this standard, don't surrender. After you and Inspector Sun have prepared the specific plan, we will tell me about the topic. I give you all my time. If you need it, you can go directly to Wu Zhi. ”

Then he pointed to the map on the white paper and said:

"Others don't know, Xiong Qing's family should be familiar with it. The Champa rice here is harvested three times a year. In the past few days, Shen Tingyang, the shipping man under Guanglu Temple, said in a book to me that a stone of grain is only two coins of silver. Even if it was transported to Dagukou. Zhu Youzhen pointed at Bi Zisu.

"Bi Qing's family received rice from the ordinary warehouse in Dagukou in the previous stage, and it was less than five yuan plus freight and losses."

Oh?

Hong Chengchou was a little envious, and then said:

"Jingshi is already one or two dollars, and rice in Shaanxi is even more expensive."

Zhu Youzhen nodded:

"Not only is the price flat, but the quantity is also quite large. According to Shen Tingyang's excerpt, it is estimated that in the first year of this year, at least 5 million stones, or 2.5 million taels of silver, will be put into Dagukou. In addition, North Korea and Dongying trade support a little, not to mention this year, next year Liaodong people will basically be self-sufficient, and they do not need support from various provinces. What's more, if Daming can go out and fight with a large army, it is estimated that he can bring back more gold and silver. ”

"The minister is in favor of shipping. Even if the minister was an official in Hangzhou, he also supported the resumption of shipping. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.

"I have two responses here. First, Xiong Qing's family, you continue to go back to the southeast, and give me the responsibility of Fuzhou Mansion and Guangdong Mansion. If necessary, I will also go to Guangzhou Mansion in person. As for the return of the salt works to the public and the import of grain, you can find Lord Bi, and Lord Bi's grain line and ticket number will also come to you. ”
