Chapter 495, take this to test the people of the Ming Dynasty?

Throughout the year, Yang Shen's core work was military logistics.

He was responsible for keeping an eye on taxes and preparing for the production of military assets, while Yan Song was in charge of land and sea transshipment.

This is a good match, because Yan Shifan's merit is tied to this, and he can "let the front have no military supplies and let his son suffer defeat"?

"With the support of national debt, the imperial court can temporarily support it. The minister asked that this year's southeast grain and tax money do not have to be transported to Beijing, and that they will be converted to levy military expenses on the spot, and new grain will be purchased and shipped to Ryukyu! ”

Facing Yan Song's invitation, Zhu Houxi thought about it and looked at Yang Shen and Cui Yuan: "What about your opinions?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's not that it can't be, though. Cui Yuan thought about it cautiously and then gave his opinion, "It is necessary to send important personnel to lead the competent personnel of the ministries and government departments to clarify the accounts." ”

"What do you think?"

Yang Shen nodded very simply at this time: "This matter has been discussed by the ministers and the state affairs first. Transshipment losses, back and forth, are not conducive to the war. However, the amount of money is huge, and the wealth is moving, which is not trivial. The ministers should first select the important ministers who will assist and the king in the future according to the Korean customs. The future is tied to the future, so that the private pockets will not be filled and the fighter plane will be delayed. ”

"In that case...... Zhu Houxi looked at them, "Xia Yan is planning to stay over there, and Tang Shunzhi is going to come back." In addition to Zhu Kun, which other important minister intends to go to Dongying from now on? ”

"Wen Wei is new to state affairs, and he is willing to ask for it."

"Nie Bao?" Zhu Houxi couldn't help but look at Yan Song, and then thought about it.

This is Yan Song's protΓ©gΓ©, who went to Dongying, and will naturally take care of each other with Yan Shifan in the future.

For the fourth child, there is also a younger generation like Hu Zongxian who Zhu Houxi wants to arrange over there, and there is no need to worry about him being controlled by Yan Shifan and Nie Bao in the future.

Moreover, although Nie Bao is Yan Song's protΓ©gΓ©, he has also officially worshiped Wang Shouren as a teacher, so he may not completely listen to Yan Song.

Xia Yan is over sixty, Nie Bao is almost sixty, Zhu Kun is just over fifty, plus Hu Zongxian in the back, this is indeed a more reasonable echelon.

"With such a spirit, it should be used naturally." Zhu Houxi nodded, "In addition to Nie Bao, each of the ministries will choose a member of the right attendant, and a member of the Imperial Court and Daming Bank will go together." ”

At this moment, he only knew that according to the plan, the other side should have been launched, and he did not know what the outcome of the battle would be.

However, in addition to the combat power of the army itself, the expedition is based on logistics.

Fortunately, it seems that everyone is optimistic about the outcome of this battle. Even Yang Shen, who has always been careful in his calculations, is no longer blocking now, as if he only hopes that this war will end smoothly as soon as possible, so he also plans in advance how to deal with the Japanese in the future.

This issue is different from that of North Korea.

Officials who aid North Korea, Daming will also give money, and they will also be counted as successful.

And if you want to go to Dongying, you will be able to move in the future.

There will be far fewer people in the Ming Dynasty who are willing to go to Dongying than those who are willing to go to North Korea.

is such a big overseas isolated country, even in the future, even in the court, it is bound to be dominated by locals.

The governance wisdom required is extremely high, and Zhu Houxi has not stopped teaching Zhu Zaiqi.

"Dongying's country is much larger than North Korea, but after years of war, the population is not much larger. Although the land is narrow and mountainous, after all, the territory is vast, but in the past, the transportation was inconvenient and the governance was not effective......

Unlike the foundation laid by China for thousands of years, Dongying's current development situation is actually inferior to that of North Korea.

Due to its mountainous nature, there were already many small countries in the Middle Ages, and there was a lack of planning for development.

Later, although there was a so-called emperor who "ruled the whole world", in fact, he was also much inferior to China's great unified dynasty in terms of governance ability. In addition, it soon entered the shogunate period again, and the shogun of the "regent" also achieved superficial "unification" by stitching up the local princes, and most of the regions were autonomous.

In this case, most of the magnates were those families, with their retainers and samurai in the middle, and peasants, fishermen, artisans, traders, and untouchables below.

"Nowadays, although the people of the Ming Dynasty are still not as noble as the gentry and rich households, they are much stronger than the people of Dongying. When you go to Dongying, what you need to break is the situation that there have been so many gate valves high for thousands of years. If this situation can be broken, the people will wholeheartedly support Ling ......"

Zhu Houxi naturally knew very well that even after a few hundred years, the gate valve that had been inherited for hundreds or even thousands of years still held the core power and wealth.

From this point of view, what Daming will bring to the ordinary poor people in Dongying is definitely a better future.

If you go to Dongying, you must definitely suppress the entire elite class there today and create more channels for the class to rise. Only in this way can we avoid a counterattack by local forces in the future.

For this reason, it is necessary for Zhu Zaiqi and the future ministers not to just seek transitional stability, but also to retain too many powerful people and systems that exist there today.

"I believe that the Ming system is advanced, don't be afraid of the people to open up the wisdom of the people." Zhu Houxi earnestly taught, "You must not be the successor of the family in Dongying, you must promote culture and education, open imperial examinations, and elect officials to the people." During the transition period, there should be no informality in the lack of personnel, and only from the family can be selected if there is no compromise. Dad will promote it more in Daming, so that as many people as possible think that it is not bad to spread the leaves. ”

"And the ...... of their religion there"

Xia Yan, Tang Shunzhi, and Yan Chunsheng were all sent by Zhu Houxi, and he thought that as long as there were no major accidents, then the time to teach the fourth child might not be too long.

Zhu Houxi's more propaganda has actually begun at this moment.

The target was a merchant family that had become much larger within the Ming Dynasty.

Yu Chengye has already given a clear message to the many cooperative firms on the periphery through the network of enterprises under the Huangming Assets Bureau: Tsushima Island will be set up as an Oriental Protectorate, and it will still be a maritime trade city. On the Dongying side, in the future, according to a country's material resources, the license qualification for border trade with Daming is to move to Dongying.

In recent years, with the changes in the imperial examination and the official system, the next generation cultivated by merchant families has also begun to bear fruit.

With the actual "bulldozing" of the elite class in Dongying, completely overthrowing their stable position for more than a thousand years, Dongying does not know how many opportunities there are to be among the upper echelons. Go there to be an official, go there to do business, go there to settle down and start a business, and if you go, you will be a master.

To go or not to go?

Merchants are more willing to take risks after all, whether they move with their families or spread out in the past, and now the Ming is only mobilizing this group.

But this is not enough, after all, it is not known how the war will go.

The situation soon began to be different.

In Layue, whether it was from Tsushima Island or from the Ryukyu side, the merchant ships that helped the imperial court transfer grain, grass and military materials were no longer empty ships.

On the side of Dagu Port and Shuangyu Port, the dock workers first stared blankly at the women who walked down one boat after another.

They are not tall, but most of them have fine skin and tender meat. Although he lowered his head and was cramped and uneasy, he wanted to cry, but he showed a different kind of weakness and style.

Then in the cold winter wax moon, the news spread far and wide.

Before the winter moon arrived, Wang Shi had already connected the so-called Nine Kingdoms on the other side. Now, the huge island in the land of the four countries is in the hands of Wang Shi, and the silver mountain with an annual output of millions of taels of silver has also fallen into the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

And these Dongying women are divided into two categories.

One is that after the princes, retainers and warriors who rejected the king's master, the king's division killed all these powerful people who had been fighting for their own selfish interests in the past, leaving only the female dependents to be sent back to the Ming Dynasty as maids.

One is the daughters of some good families who have been fighting for a long time and are loyal and obedient, and they are sent to the Ming Dynasty to borrow seeds for their sons-in-law. If it can be successful, you can bring the United States to Dongying, and it will be reused.

Where have the people of the Ming Dynasty seen this kind of formation?

Now it's not just the big tomorrow that enjoys the incidental benefits of expanding the territory, but now it's a bright temptation!

The area around the north and south of Beijing, which was the first to know the news, suddenly boiled.

"Did you hear that? Most of the ancestors are princes and generals, and not long ago, most of them were pampered, all of them were daughters, no wonder they had fine skin and tender meat! ”

"And that's just the first batch? God, if the etiquette is really broken, Wang Shi will sell Dongying women? ”

"Whew! You can't say that! How many years have you beaten me and I beat you? Think about how bitter the people there are, are there poor girls brought back by Wang Shi? When these powerful families have harmed the people for many years, how could they have thought about today? This is the good reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I heard that the son-in-law was the host of the Ministry of Rites and Communications, and I don't know what the conditions are. Don't say it, I made a special trip to Dagu to see it, and the appearance is not bad......"

Closer to Beijing is the Tongyi Hall on the side of Dagu Port today.

Now, there are several special courtyards arranged in this post house to house the daughters of these powerful people in Dongying.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ The will has not yet come down! ”

The person in charge here has a numb scalp, and he doesn't know that there is another one.

After those guilty enemies, this time they did a little presumptuous. is to be a servant girl, bought by the merchants who help the court transfer, and then see which families want it.

Don't think about it, naturally you have to teach Chinese and etiquette first.

This set is already very proficient, there was originally a Silla maid in the Tang Dynasty, and now it is nothing more than a Dongying maid.

What the Ming Dynasty is doing in Dongying now is nothing more than a random robbery, they are all the people over there, and they are the enemies of the Ming Dynasty.

This can be seen from their skin alone: in a poor family, who can raise a daughter like this? Which one is not windy, sunburned, dark, thin and rough?

So it's nothing more than "landing a phoenix".

What is still in the Tongyi Pavilion today is of a different nature.

Hit some and pull some, these are the people who have really knelt down.

They are now sent back by the important ministers to tempt and win over the future Japanese team!

To say elegantly: to marry each other and become one.

To put it vulgarly: I have a wife!

Therefore, the director of the Dagu Tong Post House could only helplessly say in the face of some friends who came to inquire about the news: "After all, you have to have a fame, right?" There are conditions for marrying these Dongying ladies, you have to go to Dongying to be an official, how can you not have a fame? ”

"Then it's naturally Xiucai, right? I heard that Dongying is bigger, will the conditions be lower? Is it okay if you don't get famous? ”

"It's all said, but the will hasn't come down yet! In other words, you don't say that you have a lot of money, there are always thousands of dollars, right? Isn't your son taking the exam? What's the hurry? ”

"Whew! If the third child of my family is expected to be promoted, he will naturally stay in Daming. But the second child in my family has never been able to pass the Xiucai exam! I'll do a little business, it's not easy for him to get married, and now it's good that after everyone in Dongying, he can still go to Dongying to be an official......"

Under the huge population base of the Ming Dynasty and the new academic system that has been implemented for so many years, the number of literate people is increasing, but the number of places admitted to all levels of the imperial examination is limited after all.

Nowadays, there are not a few situations like this: whether it is high or low, whether it is to live an ordinary life in the Ming Dynasty, or to seize the opportunity to stand out from the crowd among the short people?

On the side of the Forbidden City, Zhu Houxi didn't expect Xia Yan and Tang Shunzhi to give him such a play.

It's not really in the plan.

The situation is decided because of the situation, and Zhu Houxi is a little ridiculous.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ This is also a helpless move. Yan Song also sighed, "I didn't expect that the remote and small country has raised many die-hard warriors, and they are not afraid of the dead." If Master Wang wants to cut through the mess quickly, this can only be the case. ”

Zhu Houxi knows some of the so-called "bushido", and the Ming soldiers are cold, and they are indeed rushing to smash the foundation of Dongying's current power.

People know that they will not be lucky, so naturally there are only two choices left: either fight to the death, or be willing to surrender and be at the mercy of the clan family.

"Why don't you use it to reward the obedient people among the poor people?"

"Your Majesty...... This is naturally already a remnant, or some important families that must be controlled by the Ming Dynasty. Yan Song explained for Xia Yan, "Didn't Xia Gongjin say it?" That Dongying righteous son and adopted son are prevalent, and they can inherit the family business. With the sons of poor families as sons-in-law, according to their customs, they will regard themselves as sons, which is not convenient for them to change their minds in the future. On the contrary, my Ming people are sons-in-law, and people can entrust the family business, but the Ming son-in-law will not change his surname and change his religion! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Also. Zhu Houxi shook his head, "Then this matter will be handled by the Ministry of Rites and Communications." ”

"The newspaper said that under decades of chaotic war, there are far fewer men than women in Dongying. Nowadays, only the ships that come from afar can only be these local people who can temporarily govern the territory of the country. The minister thought that he could publish a good news in the "Ming Pao" again, detailing the tragic situation of the people in Dongying after years of chaotic war. The land is barren, men are scarce, and many women are not allowed to marry......"

Zhu Houxi was also a little numb: "You look at ......"

I'm afraid it's true.

How many people have died in the past hundred years of the "Warring States"?

If the whole thing is taken down and the world is stable, of course, it is necessary to restart large-scale production.

Xia Yan and the others saw the truth over there, and it was normal to use this plan.

Some of the noble families who need to be digested by Daming Junjie directly send people to borrow seeds from their sons-in-law.

There are also a large number of private families and poor women who do not need to spend this cost, and as soon as this kind of formation spreads, it is completely unconditional.

Even if you just want to go and farm, it's easy to get a wife over there anyway.

Most of the people who were sent over were good-looking, with fine skin and tender meat, and when they were passed on to those single farmers, they were afraid that this was what they imagined: After they went, they also had wives with beautiful faces?

And because of the identity of the Han people, it will naturally be extremely sought-after over there in the future. Children who reach out will be given priority in reading and taking exams, right?

Needless to say, the war went smoothly, although it was not yet finally won, but Xia Yan, who was already preparing to stay there, took the lead in using Dongying's "human resources" to start unleashing the "Great Seduction Technique" on the entire Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Houxi looked at Yang Shen again and smiled: "At an extraordinary time, there is an unprecedented achievement in ancient times, so you don't need to care about these details when you use cultivation." On the contrary, Iwami has already arrived at the silver mountain, and then he will be able to pull the silver over if he transports the military supplies over. The new country of Dongying has not been built, but this business can be done first. This year, you can live with peace of mind, right? ”

Yang Shen was relatively shocked, after all, it was a planned "trafficking of Dongying women".

Although they are all powerful people who are directly enemies of the Ming Dynasty, after all, it is contrary to "benevolence and righteousness".

However, what the emperor said is also the truth, Wang Shi has entered the stage of nourishing war with war. Although the grain and grass are not completely self-sufficient due to the efficiency of the management of the occupied areas, the silver mountain can not stop for a moment, and the trade can already be done.

Naturally, there must have been some generals in the army who were ready to stay there.

From this moment on, they are also fighting for their own future interests.

At this moment, Yan Shifan has just arrived at the Osaka Bay that His Majesty is talking about, which is now mainly called Namba by the locals.

He was very sorry, tightened his winter coat and said, "Boom is over." Originally, I thought that I would go straight to Kyoto before the New Year, but now Xia Zhitai and Tang Zhitai are just trying to suppress Kyushu. After this round, go back to Kyushu! ”

Not to mention anything else, he really wanted to capture Emperor Rauszi and some generals.

is the so-called emperor, if he has a suitable daughter, he will be suitable as a princess in the future, which will make governance less resistant.

The most important thing is that Xue Han and the pair of sister flowers they found in North Korea before were also quite favored after hearing that His Majesty got them!

How could he be left behind?
