"Is that okay?"

Yang Feng listened to the new version of the royal secret made up by Qi Tai and others with a shocked face.

Of course, understandable.

It can only be said that they were forced to really start using their brains.

And it's a very clever thing to do.

Because of his previous toss in Shanxi, although it can indeed be said to be a perfect ending, but it makes the hearts of the people of the Ming Dynasty grow grass, Shanxi has developed extremely rapidly in the past two years, and the industry and commerce can be called explosive growth, and in just two years, he has already lost money on the tax package, which is close to maintaining a balance between the two years. Although the gentry of Shanxi were forced to divide the land, they began to have greater happiness by relying on industry and commerce, and factories were built in the carnival of liberal capitalism.

And the military quarters in the border towns also provided them with a vast market.

Weapons, ammunition, military uniforms, armor and even canned grain were continuously produced, and through the wooden rail, which was close to completion, it was transported to Datong, Shuofang and even distant Yanran and Hanhai.

Even Beiting and Anxi have them.

This was originally the main trade route of the Jin merchants.

It's just that in the past, Mongolia did not submit, so the imperial court forbade the import of materials to Mobei, but now with the submission of the Mongolian tribes, it just opened the door to a new world for the Jin merchants.

It's like a carnival.

Which of the other provinces, especially the coastal provinces such as Jiangsu and Zhejiang, is not envious?

Which of those gentry didn't want to?

But when Zhu Yuanzhang was alive, they dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so they could only endure it silently, watching the gold and silver from overseas continue to flow into the bank, and they could be caught in Jinyiwei's edict for loan sharking. At the same time, they guarded the land that could have been used to grow various cash crops, and could only grow worthless rice there, and they also had to endure various industrial and commercial restrictions of the imperial court. finally survived until Zhu Yuanzhang died, but I didn't expect Zhu Yunxi to intensify his efforts, and even the imperial examination on which they finally relied for his entry had to be reformed, and he also had to go to the West to compete with the people for profit with the dignity of the emperor. It is conceivable that the huge fleet will go south, and the massive amount of goods brought back will hit the price of the goods in the hands of the gentry to a pitiful extent.

Pepper?

A fleet of people going south can pull back millions of catties at a time.

You don't need to purchase, just grab it.

In this case, if you use the banner of Zhu Yuanzhang's posthumous edict to serve Zhu Yunwen as the king of Wu, and then use the banner of the king of Wu to carry out de facto secession, wouldn't you be able to play as much as you want?

Treasure money?

You can open your own bank!

This is actually a good thing, the gentry all admit that the bank plus paper money is a good design, after all, there was it in the Song Dynasty, they just can't bear that they can't also open a bank, if Zhu Yunwen seizes Jiangsu and Zhejiang, then can't he open a bank by himself?

You can also go to sea to trade by yourself and make a lot of money directly overseas.

It is also possible to lift the ban on tea and so on.

Even the salt industry can be liberalized.

……

Everything can be let go.

Eight desolations and salty songs!

But......

"You still don't care?"

Sister Liu said curiously.

This is not a matter of the vassal king, this is to promote the gentry, simply to carry out a reshuffle in the system in the Ming Dynasty, anyway, Zhu Yunxi's throne is extremely upright, and it is impossible for everyone to make a fuss in this regard. Since this is the case, then simply bypass the emperor, of course the vassal king likes to divide the territory, and the gentry also like to divide the territory, anyway, Zhu Yuanzhang's division has already laid a good foundation for them.

They just need to defeat the emperor and force the emperor to admit it.

Besides, it's not that he didn't leave it for the emperor.

Even if a vassal king and a province or all command the envoys, there are still several provinces that do not have vassal kings at all, even if the three provinces of Su Songchang are turned into fiefs of King Wu, the emperor still has other provinces in Zhili, as well as Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong, which have no vassal kings at all. Anyway, the country was laid by Emperor Daxing, and it is very reasonable for him to get the largest piece as the heir, and it is also reasonable for the other descendants to get a piece each, not to mention that everyone will still respect him as the emperor in the future, isn't it enough for him to have a throne?

"Don't worry, let's watch them play first, and then I don't need to defend their imperial power for the Zhu family.

Some of Lao Zhu's designs are right.

But it's not all right. ”

Yang Feng said.

Why did he meddle?

He is not the filial son and grandson of the Zhu family, and he has no obligation to maintain imperial power for the emperor of the Zhu family.

Just watch them make trouble, and when the trouble is almost there, they will directly pick the fruit, and then reform it on the basis of Lao Zhu's current system, for example, the health center system is destined to collapse, why not change it, such as simply engaging in reserves. For example, Lao Zhu did do a lot to restrict land annexation, but it was obviously not enough, so he simply nationalized and added a permanent tenant system, and was not allowed to trade in the future. As for the new population, those who have wasteland nearby will go to open up wasteland, and those who do not have wasteland will move outward, and if they don't want to open up wasteland and don't want to move, then go to work in factories and become soldiers to do business.

Gotta force it.

The common people will not go out if they are not forced.

In short, those gentry dare to make it big, why doesn't Ambassador Yang dare?

However, the premise is that when there is a fuss, and the trouble cannot be ended, only then can he intervene in picking peaches as a referee, but now this good show has just begun!

"Then have you ever thought about it, whether the emperor wins or the vassal king wins, they are still the same Zhu family world in the final analysis, whether Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Yunxi or Zhu Di have to maintain the Zhu family's world, there are some fundamental things that will not be bewitched by you. And Zhu Yunxi obviously wants to get rid of Ling now, he is already the emperor, and there is no need for another to tell him what to do, the little princess has proposed to him many times, let him coax the vassal kings to negotiate peacefully, and then wait for you to come back. But he refused, he doesn't need you anymore, if you go back to solve this chaos, then what is he, the emperor, and even the truth about Zhu Yuanzhang's transfer of you to the sea, he should know it.

Apparently he is also happy to let you go at sea and never return. ”

Sister Liu said.

Yang Feng smiled slightly.

Of course, he knows this.

The holy decree is indeed what Zhu Yuanzhang meant, but Zhu Yuanzhang has long been out of bed, and he was already bedridden at that time, and of course it was Zhu Yunxi who issued the holy decree.

This is normal.

No emperor would tolerate his existence.

Zhu Yunxi does take him as a teacher, but let alone a teacher, he is a brother, isn't he just killed as soon as he succeeded to the throne? He is a qualified emperor, at least in terms of decisiveness, he is already qualified, but he is just a little anxious, but it is also normal, after all, he is still in control of the victory until now. Lao Zhu took care of everything for him, Zhu Di was driven to the Western Regions, and the other powerful domains were all driven away, and even Yang Feng designed to deal with it for him, he had nothing to worry about at all, of course, he couldn't wait to start exercising his will.

As for now, it's just a small accident.

But he will still win.

After all, Lan Yu had already surrounded Kaifeng, and Cao Zhen's army had also reached Wuchang, and would also besiege Wuchang with Li Jinglong, and although the Zhu Gaochi brothers did not look weak, they were not able to break through Zhou Dexing's resistance after all.

In fact, they can only protect Beiping at present.

Although Zhou Dexing is old, he is also a veteran after all, purely based on qualifications, even Xu Huizu and others can also be honored in front of him, this kind of veteran does not need to do anything, he is enough to ensure stability there.

And then as soon as the seal is opened, everything is over.

And this is also inevitable.

Lan Yu surrounded Kaifeng with an army of 200,000, and included 60,000 Shenji battalions, this strength itself was enough, he was just waiting for those siege guns to arrive.

"Anyway, there's not much time left for them."

Yang Feng said with emotion.

Suzhou.

Dongting Mountain.

"It's nonsense, isn't that ridiculous!"

Yao Shan, the prefect of Suzhou, looked at the fake Zhu Yunwen in front of him.

"Keyi, do extraordinary things at extraordinary times, not to mention that I have sent someone to open the seal and send a letter, please come quickly, King Yan and others will be happy to see it, these strong men are sent by Yan Shizi to help, and now all I owe is to have a response. Suzhou Wei elite have been transferred to the north, leaving behind nothing more than the old and weak, Suzhou is more loyal, once the bee responds, Suzhou Wei will not dare to interfere.

The edict of the Daxing Emperor is here, and Ke Yi is the former minister of the Daxing Emperor, so he only needs to obey the edict. ”

Qi Tai said.

Then he pushed the forged so-called edict forward.

Forgery, of course!

Including Yao Shan also knew very well that this was a forgery.

But......

"Brother Ke, if Brother Ke ordered the prefect of Suzhou to obey the edict of Emperor Daxing and welcome King Wu to return to the domain, the fathers and elders of Suzhou all obeyed, as for Suzhou Wei, it is nothing more than a bribe."

A friend next to him, a frequent acquaintance, Huang Yue said in the previous matter.

"But where did the soldiers come from?"

Yao Shan said hesitantly.

Everyone was embarrassed, this question was critical.

First of all, it is impossible for them to fool the common people into following the army.

Suzhou is the richest.

The idle eggs of the common people hurt, and follow them to mix with this kind of royal fighting? At most, he watched the excitement from the sidelines, in fact, including the gentry, he would also watch the excitement from the sidelines, after all, the reason why Qi Tai did this was only because he was desperate.

They weren't cornered.

Of course, the Suzhou gentry also have them, but the majority of them are lively.

It's inevitable.

"In fact, there is no shortage of available soldiers in Suzhou, as long as each family is willing, it is easy to have tens of thousands of soldiers, if the gentry of Su Song and Chang are willing, even if there are 30,000 soldiers."

Huang Yue said with a mysterious smile.

The crowd looked at him suspiciously.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is indeed difficult for the local people to be used by us, but you seem to have forgotten how many Japanese slaves there are in Su Songchang's three mansions now, not only Japanese slaves, but also Korean slaves, and even Annam slaves, all of whom can work hard in this generation. As long as we give money, they can all work hard, as for the armament and the like are not worth mentioning, it is enough for the people to collect them, the only problem is to have money. ”

Huang Yue said.

There are indeed many Japanese slaves in this area.

Of course, the official status is definitely not a slave, Zhu Yuanzhang's system, the gentry have no right to keep slaves at all.

But it is possible to hire workers.

Su Song often includes Zhejiang, the industrial development in recent years is actually very fast, especially the textile industry, this is a natural advantage, all kinds of hydraulic machinery are inseparable from the water network, and it is best to be a perennial water network that does not freeze. This area is the largest water network area, and it is also the largest grain producing area, with enough surplus grain to feed the non-agricultural population, but the disadvantage is that the wages are relatively high.

After all, the common people are not short of food and clothing, and in this case, if you want them to be willing to enter the factory, you can only give them a high enough salary.

But for textile owners, of course, the lower the salary, the better.

Who is the lowest?

Slaves.

They eat less than dogs, they do more than donkeys, and if they don't do well, they don't care if they are whipped to death.

However, it cannot be said that it is a Japanese slave.

Because they are actually Fusang Du commanded the generals of the envoy to get them, the latter is far away from the Fusang Tiangao Emperor, basically lawless, colluding with the officials of the Wa State and those Tusi to abduct those poor ghosts who can't eat from the Wa State, and then send them to Daming. They are slaves of the Tusi, of course, the latter has no slave restrictions, not to mention Fusang, even the Yungui Tusi is also slavery, and the textile owners here are a low and pitiful wage for a Japanese slave, and it is not for the Japanese slaves, but for the foremen who are responsible for managing them.

The latter, of course, took it back to their real masters behind them.

Then the gentry just took care of the food for the Japanese slaves.

And the little amount of food that the Japanese slaves had was at most a dog for the gentry.

All that's left is the endless work of locking them up in textile workshops......

Well, it's actually a pig deal.

Wakoku version.

It has to be said that the hearts of capitalists and profiteers are equally black.

Of course Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know.

He hasn't been doing anything for a few years, who would bother him with such a trivial matter.

Of course Zhu Yunxi knew, but this was an important business for the generals of the Fusang Guards, and he didn't need to complain, and these Japanese slaves weaved cloth for the Ming Dynasty, and in the end they were sold to the Japanese and other subject countries at a high price, in exchange for gold and silver, it was still the Ming Dynasty, so it was not a bad thing.

So he didn't care.

In fact, this situation is very common, including Yang Feng's essence in Huining, using the extremely low-cost labor force of the Wa State to make up for the high cost of industrial and commercial costs caused by the high cost of employment because the people of the Ming Dynasty live well. It's just that Yang Feng is dominated by Japanese women, while Jiangnan is dominated by Japanese men, but both men and women use the blood and tears of Japanese people to build the industrial foundation of the Ming Dynasty. The law itself cannot be said to be illegal, because they are still directly subordinate to the Ming Dynasty, not vassal people like the Wa Kingdom, and their slave status is with those Tusi and even the generals of the Wei Institute in Fusang.

The latter, as their master, ordered them to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to help their friends, which was no problem in law.

Of course, it can't be said that the truth is completely legal.

After all, there is still a household registration management, but this problem can also be solved, that is, the magistrate of Fusang opened the way for them.

But now these Japanese slaves can indeed be used as cannon fodder.

After all, they are desperate.

"So, can these promises of King Wu be embraced by the Suzhou gentry?"

Fang Xiaoru handed a blood book to Huang Yue.

The latter immediately unfolded and looked at the contents.

The ban on the sea was opened, merchants were allowed to trade at sea, the banking industry was opened, merchants were allowed to run banks, all minerals were opened, merchants were allowed to mine freely, and the system of land not leaving the capital was abolished......

Huang Yue smiled and closed the blood book.

"King, please rest here for a few days, and the minister will return to Suzhou, and there will be good news in the near future."

He said to the fake Zhu Yunwen.
