On this day, it was the beginning of summer, and the sun was scorching.

And in the archway of Jingshi West City.

"Ahh

Shimazu Iehisa and Shimazu Toyohisa and other Japanese people trembled when they were brought here.

Because Zhu Yijun and his rulers really approved Li Zhen's sentence, they were also cut here on this day, and soon after that, they became bloody and screamed.

"The tribute envoy was chopped for killing the small people, which should be the first new thing in this dynasty, right?"

At this time, Ye Xianggao, who was watching the execution in a restaurant nearby, shook his pu fan and said this to Yang Hao, Li Tingji and others.

Yang Hao took a sip of cold wine and said with a smile: "Natural freshness!" But it is also extremely painful, the country values the people to such a point, how can it not be the reason for the national fortune to live for 300 years? ”

"This is also related to the strength of today's Emperor Ming Wude! After all, we have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses stationed in Dongying, so we don't worry that his Japanese slaves will be angry and plunder our southeast! ”

Li Tingji also said a few words at this time, and suddenly asked: "It's just that now is really the time to make China easier for the sake of strengthening the country and benefiting the people?" Will opening up the territory really only enrich the country and benefit the people, and will not be reckless? ”

"If it's a northern expedition, it's naturally a reckless force."

"But the southern expedition, especially crossing the sea to places like Wa and Dagong, will indeed benefit the country and the people, and there is no shortage of gold and silver in those places, and there is even good land."

"Especially the Wa Kingdom!"

"If the south of the cave can only be swept and cannot be used for a long time on a large scale to make profits, then in the country of the Japanese people, it is completely possible to drive the Japanese to seize the land!"

Yang Hao said at this time.

Ye Xianggao also said: "This year, the price of horses in Taifu Temple has been reduced a lot, and several counties in Gyeonggi that have been subjected to heavier military service have even been directly exempted forever!" ”

"In addition, the taxation of 1,000 taels of gold and 50,000 taels of brass in Yunnan was exempted from the tax of 1,500 taels of gold and 70,000 taels of brass every year! The Son of Heaven granted him permission to open mines in the Burmese land he had been given. ”

"The people in Gyeonggi and Yunnan have suddenly become much more relaxed, and overseas Chinese businessmen have begun to set up shops in these two places."

"In general, this conquest of Burma and the last conquest of the Japanese are indeed the difficulties of the small people of the Soviet Union."

Li Tingji knew that Ye Xianggao knew this because he had gone to serve the Imperial Division to walk and participate in the confidential affairs, and after glancing at Yang Hao again, he was a little moved in his heart and said:

"In this way, whether the war will cost money and burden the people depends on the country of the conquered country! It's just that there will be enough abundance in the world to solve all the problems of this dynasty? ”

"I don't know this, but Your Majesty's intention is to encourage the Han people to go out and find it."

As he spoke, Ye Xianggao looked at the Hulu in Beijing who was also watching the execution in the area of the Xishi archway, and said: "The Son of Heaven obviously did not only focus on those Mongols and Jurchens outside the nine sides, but defended in the north and attacked in the south!" ”

"Jinqing said that the north defended the south and the south attacked, our classmate Liu Zijing (Liu Quxian) in the ruling school became the first cotton merchant in the southern capital, and every time the army went out to conquer a place, it could make his Liu family's cotton cloth demand surge, and now his Liu family's weavers have exceeded 10,000!"

Li Tingji suddenly said with a smile.

Yang Hao smiled: "I also know this, his cotton cloth is good and cheap, after the army brought these cotton cloths, the local Fanyi is very willing to exchange his body for these cloths, or in the form of labor to exchange these cloths, if there is no army to go, the local Fanyi has a lot of strength, naturally nothing can be changed, but defenseless." ”

"What's more, the weather is getting colder every year, so there are a lot of people in the south who need to wear cotton clothes."

When Ye Xianggao, Yang Hao and other young officials were discussing the changes brought by foreign expansion to the national economy and people's livelihood, Hu Lu Fried Flowers, who was watching the execution, said to the rabbit who came with him with a calm face at this time:

"I've inquired clearly, these Japanese people are just killing a lowly ordinary Han people, and like us, they are also here to pay tribute!"

"The reason why this is the case is because the Ming Kingdom changed the etiquette law, and in the future, those of us who do not follow the Sinicization are all inferior to the Han people! No matter what the situation is, as long as you are suspected of killing or abusing these Han people, you are guilty of the following crimes! ”

"Damn!"

"Why are the people of the south more noble than the people of the north of us?"

"It stands to reason that if my Dayuan still rules the Guannai, it will be their southerners who are inferior to us!"

After listening to the fried flowers at this time, the rabbit couldn't help but hold the scimitar in his waist and complained in a deep voice.

Fried flowers also said with an indignant face: "Then let them Han people taste our power!" ”

"You mean to go back and grab it directly?"

Put the rabbit asked.

Fried flowers sneered and nodded: "That's right! Didn't you notice that the Ming Kingdom is now a lot richer than before, and even the city and towns outside the damn pass are lined up, and the Jia shops are more than one another! ”

"Moreover, after so many years of Hegong, the Han people in the border towns have long been ignorant of swordsmen, and their vigilance against our people has been greatly reduced, and even intermarriage is righteous, this time is the right time to rob, nothing more than to kill a few ordinary herdsmen in the future to atone for the crime!"

"What you said is also reasonable, if you can rob it, who wants to exchange cattle and sheep!"

Echo the rabbit.

Fried Hua said in a low voice: "What's more, there are also many Ming court officials who do not advocate Han Gui Yuyi, and they have been in contact with me, what they mean, as long as we can make a disturbance, they will be used as Olympic aid, in Beijing to criticize Xinli for treating Yi inhumanely, not the way to long-term peace and stability of the country!" ”

"Really?"

Put the rabbit asked.

Fried flowers replied: "Naturally! ”

"You must be clear that the benefits of border trade and sea trade, which belong to the Ming Kingdom, are exclusively owned by the noble families of the Ming Dynasty!"

"But because of the reform of Zhang Juzheng, the former minister of the Ming court, and the martial arts flourished, most of these benefits were gradually returned to the court and the common people!"

"And now the so-called Xinli will continue to improve the status of ordinary Han people, so that the status of Han people can move freely and make meritorious contributions abroad."

"What does this mean?"

"It means that there are fewer and fewer Han family slaves with good quality and low price!"

"It's more and more unrealistic to think that you can be rich and happy just by talking about your heart!"

"Wen wants to go to sea to make meritorious contributions, martial arts must have a strategy, Qingliu is no longer able to rely on virtue and nobility, it is necessary to be pragmatic and pragmatic, and even sometimes you have to be managed by the military ministers, and be a subordinate of the military ministers!"

"So, it's not just us who are dissatisfied with this new gift of the Ming Kingdom!"

After hearing this, the rabbit gritted his teeth: "Then take him captive!" Don't say it, it's really mouth-watering to look at those market shops that are four or five miles long outside the side wall! ”

……

"Do you know why I summoned you to Beijing?"

Privy council.

Qi Jiguang asked Zhang Jiayin, the governor of Jiliao, and Zheng Luo, the governor of Xuanda.

Zhang Jiayin and Zheng Luo didn't feel embarrassed because Qi Jiguang was Wuxun but now he was his boss, and they both replied: "I know!" ”

"It's good to know!"

"There may be people who are unwilling to accept the new gifts of the Han people who are more expensive than the Yi people, not only some Hu people are unwilling to accept it, but there are also many traitors among our own Han people who deliberately do not want the soldiers of this dynasty to be too strong and want to take advantage of the weak people to blackmail the king."

"And the responsibility of the two of you now is to prevent large-scale wars and conflicts because of the establishment of the New Rite!"

Qi Jiguang said here: "But Fang Shuxiang and I have been in the center for too long, and Yu Bianzhen's understanding of Hanyi is probably not as clear as the two of them, so I hereby invite the two of you to Beijing to discuss this matter together." ”

Fang Feng took off the sage at this time, walked in, and said:

"That's right! First of all, what we want to hear is that if there are Hu Lu who frequently buckle the border because of the establishment of this new ceremony, and even collude with internal and external forces to raid Gyeonggi, how to take precautions to prevent the occurrence of a rainy day, you know, this has not been played out in this dynasty! ”
