Chapter 593: It's done
Everyone saw this Cai Min intermittently recounted.
This Cai Min was obviously greatly stimulated, and her voice trembled.
And the monarchs and ministers could only look at each other.
Obviously, no one expected that in just one year, this Japanese country would have reached such a point.
But the problem is that not long ago, this Japanese country seemed to be prosperous and prosperous.
How could it be that overnight, it became like this?
Hu Guang then said: "Cai Min, what you said, is it true? β
Cai Min said with a little excitement: "It belongs to ...... True...... Grass Folk ...... How dare the grass people hide it...... This time, the grass people came here, and they also implored Daming to rush to help immediately...... Rush to the ...... Otherwise, it will be too late, and the teacher Zheng Chenren and others are now uncertain...... Beg...... Ask the court to rescue ......"
After that, tears spilled on his clothes.
Everyone saw that he was so sincere, but they also knew that what he said was true.
Hu Guang couldn't help but say: "Since this is the case, it can be ...... The old man knows, the Wa ...... How could this suddenly be the case when it has been stable lately? β
Cai Min said: "At the beginning, the students followed the teacher and others, and followed the king into Fusang. This Fusang is indeed warm hospitality, not only that, but many Japanese people, both noble and low, all admire the students. This Fusang is very interested in the new learning, not to mention the king of the Wa, that is, the great names everywhere, and they also want to invite teachers and others to tell about the new learning. β
When he said this, he seemed to fall into a memory, and there was yearning on his sad face, and he continued: "After that, the new deal began, and everything was very safe, at first the general of the Zhengyi opened the maritime trade order, ordered all ports to open to trade, and ordered all places to welcome maritime merchants. The effect is also very significant, and many maritime merchants flock to it. After that, he ordered the fields to be returned, to confiscate the fields of the daimyo and samurai, and to organize a number of people to go to the prefectures to measure the land......"
There was a lot of controversy when this news came out, but although the controversy was big, it was still in the past...... After that, he advocated new learning and banned temples ......"
As soon as he continued, the monarchs and ministers listened, and some people frowned, as if they had sensed something.
There are also people who feel ...... Isn't this the same as the New Deal of the Ming Dynasty? There seems to be nothing to blame.
Thinking about Zheng Chen and others, they still have a thorough understanding of the new deal......
Cai Min continued: "In addition, edicts on education and commercial law have been promulgated...... Just some time ago, another edict was issued...... To build the Kyoto University Hall, who expected, this university hall is still in preparation...... Then there was a sudden change, there were rebels everywhere, killing everywhere, and students ...... Student ......"
When Cai Min said this, a little fear appeared on his face, and then he began to cry bitterly, unable to cry.
Hu Guang, who had been listening carefully, couldn't help but say at this time: "These measures are all good, not to mention, there will be rebellions, there must be signs, but this time, ...... But why? β
He looked puzzled.
At this time, Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "Duke Hu...... It's naΓ―ve, right? β
As soon as these words came out, Hu Guang's color changed.
The scene was a little embarrassing all of a sudden, Hu Guang pursed his lips, speechless for a while.
Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Anshi slowly paced out, broke the embarrassment, and continued with a smile: "The so-called one who learns from me lives, and those who resemble me die, I don't know if Hu Gong has heard of this?" β
Hu Guang was stunned for a moment, and was humiliated by Zhang Anshi, although his face changed, fortunately, he had a gentle temperament, but he was not a person who would repay him, 6 At this time, when he heard Zhang Anshi's words, he was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but say: "I still want to ask for advice." β
Zhang Anshi said: "My son is immortal, Your Majesty and the princes should know, right?" β
Zhu Di bowed.
Hundreds of officials bowed their heads one after another.
Zhang Anshi continued: "Once, I taught him to read, and he studied hard for a few days, and he learned something with difficulty. So one day, he complained to me, saying, "Father, if there is a medicine in the world, it would be nice to be able to memorize the text after taking it." β
Zhang Anshi smiled and continued: "I beat him up at that time. β
"Why?" Zhang Anshi looked around, and continued to smile to himself: "He thinks this because ...... He wants to take a shortcut, you must know that in this world, whether it is studying, or joining a family, or governing the country, or leveling the world, everyone wants to be able to take a shortcut. β
"There will be such a thought, in fact, it is not surprising, after all, whether it is studying, or the Qi family governing the country and leveling the world, just like this Shu Road, it is difficult to walk, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. There are many hardships and hardships, and there are also many dangers, so there may be dangers everywhere, and we must walk on thin ice to have the possibility of success. I'm just talking about possible ......"
Speaking of which, the temple was surprisingly quiet.
Many people have doubts in their hearts, and it is obvious that what Zhang Anshi said may be the gains and losses of the New Deal, and from this point of view, when it comes to the New Deal, Zhang Anshi can indeed be described as a real expert.
Zhang Anshi patiently continued: "It is precisely because of the difficulties that people will subconsciously take shortcuts. Just like the rule of Wenjing, Wenjing respects the rule of inaction, and rests with the people, which is the great rule of the early Han Dynasty. So people forgot that Wenjingshi, in order to weaken the princes, the various counterinsurgency measures against the princes also seemed to forget the various measures taken by the second emperor Wenjing when dealing with various situations at that time. I only feel that the affairs of the world can be governed by inaction. It's just that in later generations, how many kings who follow Wenjing's inaction will have a good end? β
The root of this is nothing more than human inertia, because people have lazy hearts, so when testing gains and losses, they often hope to condense a complicated matter into one or two lessons, thinking that as long as they rely on this and so, they can do so and so, blindly ignoring different environments, different regions, and different times. If the Japanese want to be rich and strong, they need to slowly figure it out, step by step, and solve the current troubles and hidden dangers little by little, which is not decades of hard work, without the accumulation of bit by bit, how is it possible? β
"But after decades of hard work, who has such determination? Is the general of the expedition Ashikaga Yoshikyo willing to work hard for twenty years, but in the end it will not have any effect? But he admired the achievements of my Ming New Deal, and at this time, there were people like Zheng Chen, who thought that as long as he summed up a little bit of the experience of the New Deal, he could succeed, you need to know...... The thinking of politicians and scholars is different. Scholars work behind closed doors, only to test the gains and losses, but they do not know the current affairs, but the methods proposed by scholars are actually the most suitable for the people. β
Zhang Anshi paused for a moment before he said: "The reason why it is in line with the hearts of the people is because scholars have ignored the difficulty of doing things, and have never thought that the spread of the New Deal is to start with the accumulation of wealth, and cut off the hidden dangers that hinder the New Deal bit by bit, and there are countless reasons for the struggle and hard work of countless people." But they blindly believe that as long as a certain decree is issued, it can be done. Such scholars, if they look at his books, they will be able to do it, and there are really fools who follow their methods, isn't it even more stupid than people like Zheng Chen? β
Hu Guang: "......"
Everyone's complexion inevitably changed at this time, some people had an epiphany, some people were entangled, and some even thought about it seriously.
Zhang Anshi continued: "It's just that a person like Ashikaga Yoshikyo is not stupid, on the contrary, as far as I know, this person is the master of Zhongxing. But even a person like him did such a stupid thing, in my opinion, in fact...... It's all the result of greed and eagerness! β
Speaking of this, Zhang Anshi sighed as if he was touched, and then said: "In order to achieve their own goals, people are willing to believe what they believe. If Ashikaga Yoshikyo came to me to ask me for a new policy, I would say to him: If the new policy is to be successful, it will take decades of hard work, decades of wealth accumulation, it will take care to cultivate generations of talents, and it will need to be ready to put down rebellions again and again, and even those who oppose you at that time may be your closest relatives, and at that time, you will not be able to show mercy to your subordinates. After completing these, after a few decades, there is a thirty-fifty percent chance of success, but the greater probability is that the family will be wiped out. β
"So...... Will this Ashikaga Yoshikyo still be willing to believe me? For the same thing, he went to consult Zheng Chen, but Zheng Chen told him that the new policy is easy, as long as the laws and decrees are amended, as long as some edicts are issued, then it will soon be a matter of course, and in just a few years, it will be effective. Who would this Ashikaga Yoshikyo be willing to? Let's just say that this Liaodong, if there is a rebellion in Liaodong, then some people propose that Liaodong is bitter and cold, and there are many ethnic groups, and if you want to really eliminate all hidden dangers, such as the continuous operation of the imperial court for tens or hundreds of years, you can finally eliminate all hidden dangers. But another person said that the matter of Liaodong is too easy, and it takes three years, and as long as three years, Liaodong can be leveled. So...... Do people want to believe the former or the latter? β
Zhang Anshi said: "The difficulties of the new policy, who can know what it feels like if you are not in it, in the past 20 years, your majesty has eliminated all difficulties and obstacles, killed how many people who are not subordinate, and how many scribes and school captains, one after another, even so, in the past 20 years, I don't know how many risks have been encountered, only today, this decree and edict is the result of the new policy, because one thing has been done, and it is finally confirmed through decrees and edicts, not because there are edicts and decrees, as long as they are issued, it can be a matter of course. So...... This civil strife has long been doomed, so what's so strange? β
After hearing this, no matter how complicated Fang Cai was, they all showed a wry smile at this time.
Even Zhu Di slowly figured out the taste and couldn't help but smile.
However, Hu Guang seemed to be a little unwilling, so he said: "But some time ago, it was clear...... News of the Wa Kingdom...... All very good......"
Zhang Anshi said: "This is another question, Hu Gong, I said a long time ago, other people's words should not be trusted, the gentry are like this, and the same is true for businessmen." In fact, it was precisely because there was so much good news in the business newspaper that I concluded that the civil strife in this Japanese country had reached the point where it could not be delayed. β
Hu Guang frowned and said, "Why?" β
Zhang Anshi said: "It's very simple, the sea trade was opened, and a large number of maritime merchants arrived in the Wa State one after another, making huge profits from it, if it weren't for such huge profits, how could the merchants be so happy to praise the new policy of the Wa State, it can be seen that the most direct beneficiaries of the New Deal of the Wa State are precisely these maritime merchants." β
"The increase in trade is both a good thing and a bad thing. This barren island country, there are not too many specialties on the island, and the production skills are far inferior to my Ming Dynasty, but now it is a gathering of maritime merchants, so there must be a large number of maritime merchants, who will transport all kinds of treasures of our Ming Dynasty to the Japanese country, and it will inevitably cause countless gold and silver outflows from the Japanese country, that is to say, the larger the scale of such trade, not only will not make the Japanese country richer, but will directly destroy the production of the Japanese country, so that a large number of people ...... Completely lost the livelihood, the only profit, in addition to my Ming maritime merchants, is a small number of relying on the import of my Ming merchant goods, and the real victims, but the countless Japanese people, people only know that the sea trade can bring wealth, but they don't know, the wealth of the world, is constant, my Ming wealth from the sea, then there will be a loss. β
"What is so strange that the maritime merchants have made huge profits, and they praise the new policy of the Japanese people, and praise them all? Anyway, what is the gain, but the loss is not theirs, not to mention, they did not deceive, the sea trade has indeed expanded, and there are indeed many merchants of the Japanese people, and they have also made a fortune! and even ...... The king also benefited from this by means of taxation. It's just that...... Their words are only half right, and the other half of the news is neither cared nor cared about by these maritime merchants, and even ...... As far as they are concerned, they only need to deal with a small number of Japanese merchants in the port, and the rest of the people, what does they have to do with them? β
Hu Guang's eyes widened slightly, with a look of sudden realization, and subconsciously said: "Original...... So that's how it is, this ...... This......... Ay...... It seems that no one can believe it. β
Looking at Hu Guang's surprised and stunned look, Zhang Anshi looked at him calmly and said, "That's true." But Hu Gong, other things can be left alone, the problem now is that the Japanese are in turmoil, and the king of the Japanese state canonized by the imperial court has suffered the threat of traitors, and a large number of Ming scholars are also uncertain. What's more, there are many ports, and there are a large number of Han merchants, and it is very likely that personal safety and property have been threatened. β
Speaking of this, he glanced at everyone, and then said: "Your Majesty, my lords, now the situation is urgent, these traitors are in turmoil, and even threaten the safety of the king of the Ming Dynasty, if my Ming Dynasty is indifferent, once the king of the emperor is killed, where is the face of the court of this religion, as well as the life and death of countless Han merchants and Han people?" Therefore, the minister advised...... The Daming Navy Division must be ready at any time, and a model battalion drawn out must also immediately rush to the Songjiang Port to wait for the day. β
"On the other hand, I quickly tried everything I could to contact the Wa King! If the king of Wa is dead, then he will also find a way to find his descendants of the same clan, re-canonize, and then ask them to immediately issue a letter of request, imploring the Ming army and horses to land on the shore to help suppress the thieves and crusade against the unsubordinate. When Emperor Taizu Gao was there, he issued a decree that the Wa Kingdom was a country that would not be conquered, and he granted the Ashikaga family a gold book and a gold seal. If they lose, then the previous tribute of the Wa Kingdom year after year, won't it become a joke in the world? It is also natural for me to have a large army and protect the Japanese country. Your Majesty, now is the time to make up your mind at once, and if it is too late, everything will be over. β
These words were deafening, the scene was quiet for a while, and everyone present seemed to be pulled into another shock all of a sudden.
To tell the truth, I recommended Zheng Chen and others to cause internal turmoil in the Japanese country, and in the name of protecting the Japanese king, they quickly entered the Japanese kingdom, this hand...... It's really spicy.
But everything is so justifiable, and everything seems so reasonable, that I can't find a single rebuttal.
Zhu Di came back to his senses, but his eyes were obviously a little brighter. It can be said that his heart was excited at this time, so subconsciously, he glanced at the crown prince Zhu Gaochi.
The father and son have a tacit understanding.
Speaking of the beginning, Zhu Gaochi was worried about the Japanese and Korea, and now, the time has come.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but sincerely admire his uncle, this guy ...... Who the hell did you learn from, you can always come up with some unexpected solutions!
Thinking of this, Zhu Gaochi subconsciously glanced at his father again.
And Zhu Di, naturally, is already clear, this entry into the widow is related to the future of his grandchildren, although they are not the eldest grandson, but after all, they are also Zhu Di's bloodline, Zhu Gaochi feels sorry for them, why is Zhu Di not distressed?
Now that everything falls into place, it's time to decide.
This is the pie that God gave to his grandchildren.
Zhu Di said: "Ordered Zhu Zhanjun, Zhu Zhanyong, and Zhu Zhanyin to supervise the affairs of the Japanese state, and then issued an order, ordering Zhu Yong to be the general of the rebellion, control the sailors, lead the model battalion on the left road, quickly cross the sea, and conquer the Japanese country." β
Zhu Di paused and said: "The matter is urgent, and now, the life and death of the Wa King is uncertain, and the Wa King Ashikaga Yoshikyo has always been obedient, how can I sit idly by and ignore his life and death, and then order Zhang Xuan to be the general of the Dangkou, lead an elite army, and attack the Wa first, find the whereabouts of the Ashikaga Yoshikyo, and protect his relatives!" β
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers seemed to feel ...... It seems reasonable.
Zhu Di added: "We must do our best to protect the safety of Zheng Chen and the Han merchants, and that's it." β
The ministers said, "Obey." β
Zhu Di's face was full of red light, in fact, at this time, he should really show a little mourning, after all...... Many people still don't know whether to live or die.
But there is no way, Zhu Di really can't hide the joy in his heart, or he is old, and some things in his heart can't be hidden.
He suppressed the smile on the corner of his lips as much as possible, and said: "This matter, the prince decides, as long as I have the result, how to enter the army, and the matter of collecting grain and grass, I don't have to report to me." Within three months, I wanted the civil strife in the Wa Kingdom to be calmed down. β
Zhu Gaochi was secretly happy in his heart, but he also knew that this was not the right time to be happy, so he put on a sad look on his face and said, "Son, follow Your Majesty's will." β
