Chapter 312: The Six Strange Cases in the Ming Dynasty, the Skinny Horse Case of the Nursing Home
"According to the economic theory, if inflation is reached, I don't think it will be."
"Because I have suffered a serious shortage of money in the Ming Dynasty for many years, the supply of silver coins in the market is seriously insufficient."
"Moreover, the living needs of the common people are huge, the market is vast, and it can fully accommodate more than a billion silver coins."
Ye Sheng replied: "The minister and Qiu Hanlin have discussed, with the size of the Ming Dynasty, at least two billion silver coins are needed, and if it is overissued, it will cause inflation. ”
Qiu Jun was in Nanjing, and he made a name for himself as an economist.
"However, Your Majesty laid down a huge territory and moved into the Han people, and the territory of the Ming Dynasty expanded more than twice, and the people were rich, so it was natural for Dingkou to prosper."
"With the size of the Ming Dynasty, there will be no inflation for at least 30 years."
"Moreover, with the explosion of the population of the Ming Dynasty, this period will be postponed."
Ye Sheng is also studying the economy, and wants to step on Qiu Jun's shoulders and write a huge book.
"Ye Qing, you also know the situation in Jiangnan, what are your opinions?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
Ye Sheng took out the song from his sleeve pocket, knelt on the ground, and offered it with both hands.
"Your Majesty went to the chaff and kept the essence, leaving the Jiangnan gentry with a skill in the same place, only collecting floating wealth, and leaving the remaining land.
"The root of the gentry in Jiangnan is land, and without land, how can the gentry come?"
"Your Majesty just removed people, but did not cut off the trouble of land annexation, such massacres, immigrants, and large-scale warfare were just a solution to the disease of ringworm and scabies, and within thirty years, the gentry in Jiangnan were restored."
"At that time, the gentry will inevitably intensify their efforts to avenge Your Majesty's vengeance today."
"Please be cautious and refrain from it, Your Majesty."
Ye Sheng almost pointed his nose and cursed.
The land in Jiangnan, he did confiscate.
"According to Qing's intentions, what should I do?" Zhu Qiyu, this is Ye Sheng of the examination school.
It is not difficult to immigrate to the gentry, it is not difficult to take away the land, what is difficult is how to divide the land!
There are too many tenants released in Jiangnan, and if the land is divided equally, I am afraid that one person will not be able to share much.
Killing people and immigrating will not rebel, at most they will lose their vitality.
Once the land is unfair, then Jiangnan will be gone.
"Your Majesty, the minister's intention is to increase the intensity of immigration, not only the gentry must be removed, but also the tenants will be removed, and Jiaozhi will be opened up, and Yungui will be developed!"
Ye Sheng also understood the emperor's difficulty.
But you can't choke on food, you have to do it.
"As far as the minister knows, more than 7 million tenants will be released when the number of mansions is cleared, and all the south of the Yangtze River will be cleared, and I am afraid that nearly 20 million people will be released."
Ye Sheng said: "With Jiangnan, I definitely can't afford to raise so many people." ”
"The tenants released from Zhejiang have moved to Fujian and Guangdong nearby."
"Jiangnan's, then fill it with Yunnan-Guizhou."
That's right, the real population of Jiangnan may be as high as 40 million!
Jiangnan includes Anhui, Jiangsu, Nanzhili, and Zhejiang, which is Jiangnan in a broad sense.
The population of Daming has exceeded 100 million.
Zhu Qiyu chuckled: "Ye Qing, it's easy for you to say, how many people died in the early stage of immigration, I was scolded by the Metropolitan Procuratorate every day." ”
"I also feel distressed, although I am a sinner, I don't deserve to die in vain."
"That's why I changed my immigration strategy."
"Do you know how much money I spent on this immortal immigrant?"
"Originally, a ship could carry 1,200 people, but now it only carries 120 people, and it will take a trip, which will cost ten yuan for a common person!"
"When I get to Cochin, I still have to send this hair and that, and I will spend at least thirty yuan!"
"There are 20 million people in the entire Jiangnan who want to be removed, you say, my 600 million will be gone!"
"With so many people left in Jiangnan, does it need to be rebuilt?"
"How many years will it take for such a rich land to recover?"
"I will vigorously develop Jiangnan, and open all the things that Beijing has in Jiangnan, and it is estimated that I will have to invest tens of millions."
Zhu Qiyu was also helpless, broke up the Jiangnan gentry, and also deflated the money bag.
Ye Sheng trembled, kowtowed, and said: "The minister knows that His Majesty is difficult, but since he has immigrated, he should be done and done thoroughly, so that Jiangnan can no longer become a constraint to the Ming Dynasty, but a helping arm of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"Ye Qing, like this, I have received more than a dozen copies."
Zhu Qiyu asked him to get up: "It's not that I feel sorry for money. ”
"But Jiaozhi has entered the rainy season, Zhu Ying sent a secret music, asking for a moratorium on immigration, and Jiaozhi will be unable to move an inch in the rainy season, and even cut off contact with the mainland."
"Ye Qing, you said that you rashly moved in so many people, the traffic is impassable, what should you do if you rebel?"
"What does Your Majesty mean?" Ye Sheng followed the emperor's train of thought.
"The road must be repaired, the original road will not work in Cochin, and it will be washed away in the rainy season, and the asphalt road must be repaired to be able to pass smoothly in the rainy season."
"In this way, I can ensure that the toe will always be held in the palm of my hand."
"But there's no oil."
"Zhu Ying's secret recital says that there is no oil to be found in Jiaozhi."
"Moreover, because of the massacre, the Guangxi army is rich, and they are no longer willing to be soldiers and pay for it, and they all want to be small landlords."
"That's fine, the Guangxi Army has always been shackled, I have always wanted to disband, but I didn't have the opportunity, so it's okay to take the opportunity to disband."
"Jiaozhi is short of soldiers, and I have already transferred the Guizhou army to support Jiaozhi."
Zhu Qiyu asked Ye Sheng to sit down: "It is difficult to control Jiaozhi in terms of climate, terrain, and disease, if Daming can control these, Jiaozhi will never be lost." ”
"Your Majesty, I think I can encourage Xiucai to study ......medicine," Ye Sheng said.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Master Xiucai doesn't look down on cheap business, besides, the expansion of the Ming Dynasty is too big and too fast, there is a shortage of people everywhere, and there is also a shortage of Xiucai." ”
"I have already ordered the Tai Hospital to recruit a group of children from the nursing home, and let them follow them to study medicine, and they will be able to complete their studies in three or two years."
"Ye Qing, you may have forgotten that in the ninth year of my reign in Jingtai, I ordered the world to send orphans to Jingshi, and I came to raise them."
"In the past few years, I have raised 170,000 orphans."
This is the pride of the emperor.
These orphans were supposed to die, but because of the emperor's holy decree, 170,000 people lived, and these people will serve the emperor in the future.
Ye Sheng was moved: "Your Majesty has great merit in raising orphans. ”
I thought that the emperor was just talking about it.
I didn't expect to do it all the time.
Zhu Qiyu smiled proudly: "I hope that this Ming Dynasty will have something to support for the young and something to rely on for the old." ”
"I don't feel at ease when these orphans are placed in the place, so I will receive them from the center and raise them myself."
"These children, I have all trained them to become doctors, craftsmen, and military officials, and when they grow up, they can serve the Ming Dynasty, and I will not raise them in vain."
"Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and the ministers feel the same way." Ye Sheng bowed sincerely.
"Get up."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Jiaozhi has to survive for a few years, and after a few years, there will be enough doctors to use it." ”
"With asphalt paving, this terrain can be barely overcome, at least it will not break the connection with the center; I will also open up a waterway and take a boat to all parts of the Ming Dynasty. ”
"I have no choice but to learn from the local natives on how to fight against the harsh climate."
The heat can be endured.
But what to do with the terrible rainstorms, the long rainy season?
Ye Sheng suddenly thought of something: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that there is Xiaoliuqiu next to the Penghu Inspection Division, and Xiaoliuqiu is originally the Han soil, but after I closed the country, I gave up Xiaoliuqiu." ”
Xiaoliuqiu is Dongfan Island, which is a bend.
"What do you mean?"
"The minister thinks that the tenants of Zhejiang can be moved to Xiaoliuqiu and reclaimed Xiaoliuqiu."
Ye Sheng found that the emperor's eyes lit up.
"Okay, change Xiaoliuqiu to Baozhou Mansion, subordinate to Fujian, let Yiming open up the waterway, clean up the nearby Japanese Kou, and send people to immigrate to Baozhou Mansion."
Ye Sheng smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, if you want to clean up the Japanese invaders, you must first fight a tough battle at the mouth of the Yangtze River, or fight or surrender, before you can clear the Japanese outside Fujian." ”
That's right, you can't beat the Japanese at your doorstep, and when you get to the deep sea, what can you fight?
Zhu Qiyu looked at Feng Xiao: "Go and invite the old lady, Xuan Jinzhong come over." ”
The Jiangnan gentry have all been dealt with, what is so difficult about the widows?
Jin Zhong is in the palace, guarding the emperor.
He was the first to arrive.
Zhu Qiyu asked him: "How did you deal with the Japanese affairs?" ”
"Back to the emperor, among the gentry in the south and Huai, a total of 177 have connections with the Japanese invaders, only three have escaped, and the rest are controlled by the factory guards, and all of them have been raided."
"Now the Japanese at the mouth of the Yangtze River have recruited 110,000 people."
"But according to the confession of the Japanese Kou, there are more than 300,000 people outside the Yangtze River, entrenched on the islands, and it is very difficult to surrender."
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "Are there so many widows?" ”
Don't forget, Jingtai has arrested a batch in ten years, only 100,000, is it more than 600,000 Japanese robbers? Can't you?
"Emperor, there were indeed not so many people in the Japanese Kou, but the factory guards were too quiet, and many gentry went into exile overseas, which led to a huge amount."
Jin Zhong replied: "Moreover, our country's ships are at sea, and the fleet that transports Jiaozhi has been robbed, resulting in a sharp increase in the number of Japanese pirates. ”
"But the slave and maid estimate that there are no more than 100,000 Japanese soldiers who can fight, and it is unknown where they are hiding for the time being."
"As long as we can get their routes, our Ming army has hope to annihilate them."
Don't have too much confidence in the Daming Water Master.
Zhu Qiyu knew it and looked at Ye Sheng.
"Weichen thinks that we can reorganize the Japanese prisoners and integrate them into the water division, our army is still weak and cannot fight a decisive battle with the Japanese invaders, but we can slowly find the nest of the Japanese and exterminate them little by little."
Ye Sheng was more conservative, after all, he didn't have much confidence in the water master.
As he was talking, Hu Hu was late.
"Your Majesty, the Jinshi List has been sent." Hu Hu was very excited.
After the dust settled, the whole meeting was sent to Nanjing.
"Who's the champion?" Ye Sheng asked.
"Liu Jian." Hu Hu said with a smile.
"But Xue Jingxuan's senior disciple?"
Ye Sheng also knew this Liu Jian, but it was not a good reputation, this person was reprimanded by the emperor and sent to the northwest to be a clerk for two years, otherwise he would have been in high school a long time ago.
Zhu Qiyu couldn't help laughing, Liu Jian was cleaned up by him.
It also grows in, and the top student comes out.
"Submit his article and I'll take a look." Zhu Qiyu didn't look at the rankings, but first read Liu Jian's article to see if he was cheating.
"Your Majesty, this Liu Jian's article is really talented, you have been sending him out for two years, and he has really grown up." Hu Hu quipped.
Ye Sheng stroked his beard and smiled, took the list, and looked at the list carefully.
"Huh? Your Majesty, this Zhang Shihua is also among the best, and your education of him seems to be effective. ”
Ye Sheng laughed, quite nostalgic for the days in Beijing.
"Hmph, the prodigal son will not change his money."
"Ye Qing, look at his papers, and then look at his palace exam records, don't you cheat?"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "This Liu Jian's article, the style is a little worse, and the words and sentences are somewhat artificial, and I don't see that there is no champion talent." ”
Hu Hu rolled his eyes, you just find fault, right?
This is a very beautifully written essay.
"The countermeasures worked." Hu Hu replied.
"Really? I didn't see it. ”
In fact, after the end of the examination, the cabinet copied a paper and sent it, and he Zhu Qiyu had read it, but he was reluctant to admit that Liu Jian was excellent.
"I look at Min Jue's rolls, they are better than both of them."
Zhu Qiyu said: "Thanks to Li Dongyang's illness, otherwise he Liu Jian would not be Li Dongyang's opponent." ”
As we all know, Li Dongyang is your favorite.
But don't be so biased, Liu Jian is also very good.
"Don't let Liu Jian and Zhang Shihua be idle in the center, let them go to the busiest place to do things, and don't keep them in the Hanlin Academy."
The more the emperor uses whom, the more optimistic he is.
Zhu Qiyu wants to sharpen Liu Jian, Liu Jian is a person with outstanding ability, but his personality weaknesses are also very big, if he doesn't polish it well, he may not be able to shine in the future.
"Ye Qing, what did you say just now?" Zhu Qiyu put down the list and got back to business.
Ye Qing also put down the test paper, he looked at the list first, and then looked at the test paper.
Repeat it to Hu Hui.
Hu Hu frowned slightly: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to move troops, the sailors have not yet been formed, how can they rush to fight?" Or focus on caressing, try to soothe. ”
"Ye Qing means to develop Baozhou Mansion and move the people to Baozhou Mansion to alleviate the population pressure in the interior."
Hu Hu didn't know which was Baozhou Mansion, and said that it was changed by Xiaoliuqiu.
"Your Majesty, it is a good thing to develop Baozhou Mansion."
"But I'm afraid the navy will be unsustainable, and what the old minister means is that it is better to train the navy first, let the new sailors be familiar with the sea, and then send people to appease the Japanese invaders."
Hu Hui said: "Instead of war, it is better to spend money to buy peace." ”
Zhu Qiyu doesn't like to hear this.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, as long as these people go to land, it's not up to us to decide? Kill if you want. ”
"Besides, first take back the coastal islands, garrison troops on them, set up more batteries, and then train the infantry army and sailors to entrench on them."
"The sea trails are dotted, as long as all of them are occupied by our Ming army and rely on the land, the Daming Navy Division can still fight."
Hu Hu felt that Zhao'an was the best and fastest way.
"Then let Gong Yongji send someone to the Wa State, establish contact with the Wa State, and order the Wa State to manage the people well and not to enter the Ming Dynasty as a thief."
Zhu Qiyu wants to fight.
Hu Hu thinks that there is no need to fight, Zhao'an is enough.
"Then ask the old lady to preside over this matter." Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to care.
"The old minister obeys."
The emperor is not willing to do such a skinless and faceless thing, and Hu Hu can only afford it.
In fact, there is no shame in recruiting the Japanese robbers.
However, the emperor's tone was too loud and threatened to exterminate all the Japanese invaders, which has been more than a year, and the sailors have smashed in a huge amount of silver, but it has not yet become an establishment.
If you want to build a large-scale water division, it will take ten years of effort.
Now it can't compare to the Yongle Dynasty, the Yongle Dynasty has the old foundation of the Yuan Dynasty, and the sailors were invincible when Emperor Taizu founded the country.
Jingtai Dynasty is a construction from scratch.
Being able to build six treasure ships in one year has already seen the horror of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, according to Zhu Qiyu's concept, he didn't want to contain the Japanese invaders into the army, which would bring bad atmosphere to the sailors.
The problem is that Da Ming really does not have practical talents on the water, so he can only use the Japanese and have no choice but to use them.
"Baozhou Mansion is not as good as Cochin, which has been developed for thousands of years."
"And Baozhou Mansion is still in a primitive state, and it is definitely not possible to move into the gentry."
"The tenants can be moved over first, and the imperial court will set up a prefect to govern it."
"After the Qing Dynasty, Penghu can have a lot of immigrants, after all, Penghu has been operated by my Central Plains for many years, and there are sufficient acres of land for self-sufficiency."
"Use Penghu to hold Baozhou Mansion hostage, so that Baozhou Mansion will not be lost."
Hu Hu admonished: "Your Majesty, it is best to immigrate to Jiaozhi, Jiaozhi to the west, the land is boundless, but there is a lack of development. ”
"The imperial court transported a large number of farm tools, which is enough to develop the Jiaozhi wasteland."
Zhu Qiyu stopped Hu Hu's words: "Old lady, as soon as the rainy season arrives, Daming will cut off communication with Jiaozhi, once there are too many immigrants, what should I do if I rebel?" ”
Hu Hu frowned, the emperor was not worried about the people rebelling.
Instead, they are worried about the rebellion of people like Zhu Ying and Wang Wei who are in charge of the military.
"Your Majesty is not at ease, so you shouldn't fill the cochin with all the Jiangnan gentry."
Hu Hui said: "Your Majesty can use people with different accents to fill the toes, create regional contradictions, accent contradictions, and the center is naturally as stable as Mount Tai." ”
Zhu Qiyu frowned: "To develop the forest, people need to put their strength together, rather than tearing each other down, in that case, Jiaozhi will fall into endless internal friction." ”
"Your Majesty, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds in the world."
"Since you want to liberate Jiangnan and interrupt the monopoly position that Jiangnan may cause, you have to believe in Jiaozhi and Zhu Ying."
"Instead of hesitating, this is not your way of governing the country."
If you are so offensive, you dare to say it.
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "It's because I think too much, and when the rainy season passes, I will immigrate over on a large scale." ”
"I will urge the iron factories to build agricultural tools on a large scale."
"Send soldiers into the handover."
"The original Guangxi Army was disbanded, let Ou Xin be the chief soldier, I can rest assured that Zhu Ying and Xia Xun will be relieved."
Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, this is the emperor's way of employing people.
"Your Majesty."
Hu Hui had a smile on his face: "Jiangnan doesn't need the scholars to be warm, but Jiaozhi needs the Ming people to be warm and open up new places." ”
"So Your Majesty forced immigration, and the old minister did not stop it."
"Even if there were many exhortations in the court, they were all blocked by the old ministers."
"Gayin Jiaozhi really needs Jiangnan people to open up, in terms of the people of the world, people who are so proficient in planting, officialdom, economy, and commerce, Jiangnan people are the first."
"The old minister thinks that only Jiangnan people can do it to open up Jiaozhi."
"Jiangnan people are good at holding together and warm, and they are cultured, they know the etiquette of the scriptures, they know how to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and the pioneering thing is the most suitable."
Anyway, the immigrants also kept fighting, and the emperor insisted on going his own way.
Hu Hui picked up the nice ones and said.
From Cochin to North Korea, and then to the Northwest.
"Gonggong Feng is very right to advise His Majesty, you transfer Fan Guang, who will defend you?"
Hu Hu frowned: "Your Majesty, you are in love with the world, and the safety of the government and the opposition is in your hands, and you must not have an accident." ”
"This is Nanjing, it is not as safe as Beijing, you must not take care of the dragon's body, the world can operate normally."
"What's more."
"The war in the northwest is not as serious as your majesty thinks."
"No matter how powerful Full Speed is, can it still withstand the power of my Ming Dynasty?"
"Kou Shen is an old man, if he knows that he is invincible, he will never succeed as a hero, he is an old and steady person, which is why you sent him to Gansu in the first place."
"There are also a group of good generals such as Shenying, Fan Sheng, Fan Jiong, and Tao Jin to assist."
"Even if you can't take Turpan, it's more than enough to hold Hami."
"Moreover, Wang Lai was in Jilin and recruited batch after batch of people to go to the northwest."
"These living people fought bravely and fearlessly to death, and the cavalry of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, which had declined, could not defeat them."
Zhu Qiyu forgot about this stubble.
Wang Laizhen will exploit the natives of the Northeast and buy them with various Ming commodities to help the Ming Dynasty in the war.
"I just want to attack the Eastern Chagatai Khanate as soon as possible, because my dream has guided me to say that there is oil to the west of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate."
"You know, how important oil is."
"Daming and Cochin are interrupted by the rainy season, as long as an asphalt road is paved, it can be passed as usual in the rainy season."
"And the west side of Cochin is full of fertile land, and I need asphalt roads to control the entire central and southern regions."
"In the same way, I also need asphalt roads to shorten the distance between the world."
"This world is too big, relying only on post roads, I find it difficult to rule deeply."
Zhu Qiyu didn't say anything in the second half of the sentence, he wanted the imperial power to go to the countryside.
Hu Hu never mentioned the emperor's dream, but said: "But it is not a day's work to find asphalt, and Fan Guang will be sent to command the troops next year." ”
He predicted that the emperor would return to Luang next year.
Zhu Qiyu is not so optimistic, the salt administration has not yet been cleared, the gentry in Jiangnan have moved half, and there are still Japanese robbers, and it may not be done in a year.
As he was talking, several eunuchs carried trays, and the trays were filled with music and sent to the Qianqing Palace.
The sangshu transported from Beijing would be loaded in a sedan chair and transported into the palace by the eunuchs, just as the process of transporting them from the cabinet to the celebrant was the same.
But these are all transcriptions of the completed transcription.
Feng Xiao lowered his voice: "Emperor, the prince may be in trouble." ”
Zhu Qiyu's pupils shrank and waved away Hu Hu, Ye Sheng and others.
Feng Xiao immediately offered a few pieces of music with both hands.
Zhu Qiyu opened it and saw that it was all the impeachment of Wang Cheng by the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Mainly impeached Wang Cheng's sister Yang Niang, and two grandchildren, Wang San and Wang Si, who robbed good women as concubines in Luzhou Mansion, drummed military power, and whipped soldiers.
These are nothing, the poor get rich, do something ridiculous, and at most they will be reprimanded.
After all, they have a good uncle, Wang Cheng, who is the emperor's most trusted eunuch.
But!
The next content made Zhu Qiyu's pupils red with anger.
"Is this all true? Feng Xiao! Zhu Qiyu suddenly burst into tears.
Feng Xiao was so frightened that he knelt on the ground: "Emperor, the slave doesn't know." ”
Zhu Qiyu opened several other reports, and the reports were similar, among which Wang Yikui's reports also listed evidence.
Boom!
Zhu Qiyu smashed the piece to the ground: "I just finished boasting with Ye Sheng that I adopted 170,000 orphans in the world, which is my love for the people!" ”
"It's only been a quarter of an hour, and you're going to hit me in the face?"
"He Wang Cheng doesn't have incense, is he trying to recruit two bastards as incense inheritance?"
"Come on, let Wang Cheng get over!"
"I asked him personally!"
Wang Yikui's recital reads:
All the orphans who pass through the Luzhou Mansion are first selected by Wang San and Wang Si, and the boys and girls with good colors are left behind and sold into the Qinglou to earn silver.
In the past two years, a total of 71 cases have been handled.
The magistrate of Hefei reported the matter to the center, but the magistrate was wiped out and was reported to die of illness afterwards.
What really made Zhu Qiyu angry was that the magistrate of a place and a county actually said that he would die if he died, and Wang Chengzhen didn't know anything about it?
Why not? Am I not able to accommodate people? Do you lack your reward of a few taels of silver?
Up and down the Qianqing Palace, all prostrate on the ground.
After the fire.
Zhu Qiyu is also pondering, who broke out this basket?
Is it Yu Qian in Beijing?
Or the gentry of Gangnam?
It's not like Yu Qian, if Yu Qian knows, it is impossible to endure it for so long.
If it is a counterattack by the Jiangnan gentry, this is just an appetizer, and there will be big moves later.
"Pass the decree, transfer Mao Sheng to take charge of the Anhui army and arrest Wang Cheng's nephew!" Zhu Qiyu did not protect him, but made the fastest decision.
"Emperor, this matter is small, and your safety is big." Feng Xiao advised.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flickered: "Since this piece of music has been sent to Nanjing, it means that the cabinet cannot approve it, and it does not dare to deal with it." ”
"And I use eunuchs to take charge of the army, which already makes the courtiers dissatisfied, whether it is an official or a minister, they are dissatisfied with the eunuch in charge of the army."
"This case broke out, not for Wang Cheng, but for me."
"Bring Wang Cheng back and give Mao Sheng the power of the army."
"Go ahead."
The reason why Mao Sheng was chosen was because Mao Sheng and he were in-laws, and they were both prosperous.
The Anhui army is very important to the emperor's western gateway.
Wang Cheng really can't do anything, he is the first to eat rice, he can't even manage two pups, and he can still control an army of more than 100,000 people?
"The slave obeys."
Feng Xiao swallowed his saliva: "Emperor, I'm afraid there will be ...... behind"
A little eunuch hurried in.
"Emperor, Song Wei sent a message."
After Feng Xiao checked it, he offered it with both hands.
Zhu Qiyu took it, frowned, and suddenly shrank his pupils: "What a Yangzhou Mansion, it turned out to be you!" ”
Song Wei investigated the salt administration, killed many salt merchants in Yangzhou, and actively produced salt to alleviate the salt crisis in the north.
The Skinny Horse Case of the Nursing Home broke out.
Yangzhou Mansion, Guiyang County Governor Gui Yi asked Song Wei to act on his behalf, exposing the inside story of Yangzhou Thin Horse.
The so-called Yangzhou thin horse.
Because salt merchants gathered in Yangzhou, based on the canal, they made rich merchants in batches, and when rich merchants had money, they wanted to find some good-looking, talented and obedient women.
The skinny horse industry came into being.
The proprietors will buy some good-looking girls, conduct professional training, cultivate various talents, and when the girls grow up, sell them to all levels of society according to the first and second class.
The salt merchants all raise thin horses, and they are proud of this.
When the emperor first arrived in Nanjing, some officials offered thin horses, but Zhu Qiyu belittled them and whipped them before they stopped offering beauties.
But the thin horse has long formed an industrial chain.
The emperor doesn't like it, the rich businessmen like it, and the dignitaries like it.
However!
From the eighth year of Jingtai, the emperor implemented a new policy and reformed the people, especially large-scale immigration, which swept away the world's displaced people, resulting in the thin horse industry, and the girls who could not be bought.
In the ninth year of Jingtai, the emperor issued an order to send orphans from all over the world to Beijing to be raised.
This is the way of the skinny horse.
Jingtai ten years, because of the scarcity of thin horses, a first-class thin horse fried to 100,000 taels of silver.
You must know that during the Jingtai period, five taels of silver was enough for a family of seven to eight to live a well-off life for a year, and the days were rich.
A skinny horse is worth 100,000 taels of silver!
It can be seen that the wealth of Jiangnan.
However, the girl is hard to find.
They moved the hearts of the traffickers and went around stealing girls.
However, immigration is being carried out in various places, and local governors emigrate for the sake of political performance, resulting in human traffickers being arrested, and this road is not going to work.
They tried to find a way to spend money to open up the joints, do tricks and feet from various nursing homes, leave the girl with good colors, and then spend money to buy the eunuchs in the palace to remove this orphan girl.
Some local officials did not dare to participate, so they bribed the boat boss, saying that the girl died on the way, or that the girl was naughty and fell into the river.
Originally, Yangzhou was a thin horse, and only girls were picked in the original Nanzhili.
The emperor recruited orphans into Beijing, but they could pick good-looking girls in the world.
It is precisely because the skinny horse is a profiteering industry that there are businessmen on both sides of the Yangtze River who are domesticating skinny horses.
Of course.
The emperor engaged in immigration, which led to the slump in the business of the Qinglou, and the Qinglou also took this road to buy girls, spending less than before, but he could pick girls at will, and the Qinglou became popular again.
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Qiyu lowered his hand and laughed, laughing coldly: "It turned out to be me, helping to abuse!" ”
"I thought it was to adopt babies from all over the world and give them a good living environment!"
"But I don't know that I hurt them!"
"If I don't come to Nanjing, I don't know the evil of people's hearts!"
"I thought that in the court, people were already eating people, but I didn't know that this Jiangnan was more powerful than people eating people, and it was a beast eating people!"
"And these beasts are dressed in human skins and disguised as humans."
"They deceived me, deceived the world, deceived the world and stole their reputation!"
"Except for this Gui Yi, why has no one reported this matter for so many years? Could it be that the loyal people of the Manchu Dynasty are not as good as a magistrate? ”
"Where is Chen Wuyang?"
Feng Xiao knelt on the ground: "Back to the emperor, Chen Wuyang is in Changzhou Mansion." ”
"Transfer Chen Wuyang to Yangzhou."
"Check it out to me, who cultivated this Yangzhou skinny horse!"
"The whole link, how many people are caught!"
"You can kill by mistake, but you can't let one go!"
"I abolished the Sect Division and wanted the woman not to suffer from it, but I underestimated the bad intentions of the beast!"
"All the people in the skinny horse link, the men are late, the women are filled into the green building, the baby boy and the baby girl are not allowed to let go, they are all killed! Dead bodies are not allowed to be buried, but to feed the livestock! Or throw into the sea! ”
"Tell me again!"
"Officials from all over the world, who are shielding the people in this skinny horse industry? All of them will be seized, their wives and daughters will be filled into the Qinglou, and the men of their families will be filled into slaves, and they will never be forgiven! ”
"Tell me again!"
"Officials in the world, who has ever bought a skinny horse?"
"They are all fined for one year, and if they commit any more crimes, go back to farming, and don't be disgusted at the court, and then compile a list of these people, and ask them, how do you feel in your hearts when your daughter is tamed into a lean horse? Write it for me and send it to me! I want to see! ”
"Tell me again!"
"Who has ever bought a skinny horse?"
"His family fined 100,000 taels of silver, and the woman was released."
"Tell me again!"
"Ordering the officials of the world to introspect themselves, what sage books do they read? Do the sages teach you to harm living beings? Old man Kong Sheng is looking at you! ”
"Tell me again!"
"Order the Five Law Divisions to send people to investigate the nursing homes all over the world, all personnel, whether there are traces of violations during their tenure, if there is, according to the Ming law, if not, they will be transferred to the Beijing Nursing Home, and the World Nursing Home will be abolished! No more! ”
"Tell me again!"
"Transfer to the East Factory, go and check all the personnel who handle the report, including the people in the nursing home, the boatman, the local officials, etc., once it is found, the man will be killed, and the wife and daughter will be filled into the Qinglou, and they will always be cheap!"
"Tell me again!"
"The eunuchs in the palace, all the participants, will be killed immediately, Ling Chi!"
"Tell me again!"
"All the Qinglou involved, the participants are all punished by the Nine Clans! The women of the Qinglou were all charged to the workshop and rescued all the girls. If there is a mastermind behind the scenes, they will all be found out and killed! ”
"Tell me again!"
"All the green buildings in Jiangnan are out of business, what about Jin Zhong? Let Jin Zhong go to check one by one, who is behind this Qinglou? Where did the woman in this building come from? If there is any violation of the Ming law, they will be punished according to the Ming law, and no one will be tolerated! ”
"Tell me again!"
"Order the Five Law Divisions to send someone to Jiangnan to investigate! I want to know the truth, whoever dares to deceive me, I will punish the nine clans! Including all the officials of the Five Law Divisions, don't treat my words as farts, if you can't find out, I will let you all be buried together! ”
Feng Xiao knelt on the ground, and the emperor was really angry.
There are so many holy decrees in one breath.
Zhu Qiyu had anger in his eyes, this was the second trick of the salt merchant.
I've taken it!
Dividing me and Wang Cheng, do you want me to lose Anhui's military power?
Or do you think that just this matter can make me lose the hearts of the world?
Feng Xiao was horrified.
The emperor is going to concoct a big case again.
If you check the skinny horse, you will find out more gentry and more officials.
So, who is the emperor targeting?
Feng Xiao didn't understand that the emperor must have a deep meaning.
"The Emperor's ......"
"Go and preach!" Zhu Qiyu did not listen to advice.
Feng Xiao had no choice but to ask the old lady to see if Hu Hu had a way.
When Hu Hu heard this, he frowned slightly: "Investigate!" ”
He saw more clearly than the eunuchs in the palace.
This is a salt merchant who gave the emperor a problem and threatened the emperor to stop checking the salt merchants, but is the emperor a coerced person?
It must be investigated, not only to investigate, but also to investigate thoroughly.
Let none of these salt merchants who are drumming behind their backs be able to escape.
"Old lady, this is Nanjing, if something goes wrong in the palace, it's over." Lu Hong was so anxious that he couldn't do it, what he was worried about was punishing the eunuchs and making the people who were waiting in the palace sad.
Don't forget, the palace ladies in the palace are all daughters of officials in the world, if their father and brother commit a crime, will they take risks without the emperor's knowledge?
"What's wrong? Your Majesty punishes a few eunuchs, and there will be problems? ”
Hu Hu knew that Lu Hong was worried that the eunuch would be disloyal and would be in his heart, worried that his incident would happen and be punished by the emperor.
Eunuchs are greedy for money, especially those who serve in the Qianqing Palace, it can be said that they are power-leaning towards the government and the opposition, and they have a lot of money.
If the emperor punishes the eunuchs involved, it is inevitable that they will deviate from morality, which is human nature.
But if you murder the emperor because of this, I'm afraid you don't dare, right?
"Old lady, this is in Nanjing, and that's all the eunuchs I brought, it's hard to replace."
Lu Hong lowered his voice: "Moreover, the relationship between the palace and the palace is intertwined, and the palace and the outside of the palace are all connected, if someone does something disagreeable, what can I do?" ”
"What did Your Majesty say?" Hu Hu frowned.
If the eunuchs are not punished, then the eunuchs will be even more arrogant, and I am afraid that even the emperor will be difficult to suppress in the future.
Unless the emperor is ruthless and cleanses all the eunuchs.
Then, the eunuchs he trusted the most had to die, because the relationship in the palace was headed by them.
"The emperor is angry, and no one dares to persuade him."
Lu Hong is also greedy for money, but he is the person next to the emperor, and he knows very well that if the emperor is gone, he will immediately lose power.
"Alas, the old man should go to the palace."
On the way, Hu Hu was thinking, should he advise?
The emperor is becoming more and more undisciplined, the imperial power is in hand, and he no longer listens to anyone, should he be taught a lesson?
Endure a little hardship in order to be obedient.
entered the Qianqing Palace.
The emperor was watching the recital, his face was sinking like water, and he was sulking at first glance.
"See Your Majesty." Hu Hui saluted.
Zhu Qiyu raised his eyelids: "Why is the old lady here?" ”
"Your Majesty has issued ten holy decrees in a row, and the old minister has to come."
"The old lady is persuading me?"
Zhu Qiyu narrowed his eyes.
Hu Hu sighed: "The old minister doesn't want to persuade either, but you are too intense, and the old minister is worried that things will be reversed and hurt you." ”
"Is it the eunuch's business?"
Zhu Qiyu glanced at Lu Hong and sneered: "It's just a house slave, can it still be against the sky?" ”
"Your Majesty, you are careless in Jingzhou." Hu Hui reminded him.
"I know, but if the house slave is no longer cured, I'm afraid I won't even listen to me."
Zhu Qiyu said: "I am good to people, but some people, if they don't eat well, they like to be whipped with a whip, what can I do?" ”
"Just fulfill them, and let them know who is the master in this palace."
Hu Hu didn't persuade anymore, bowed his head and said nothing.
If the emperor is careless, he will make mistakes if he is careless, and if he makes too many mistakes, he will fall on his heels.
You have to let the emperor know that it hurts, don't always use the blazing imperial power to hurt people, this will only cause disgust from the people of the world.
This is also an important lesson, and it must be experienced by the emperor himself.
"What does the old lady think about this?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"It's just chaos in Yangzhou."
Zhu Qiyu ordered a notebook, and Feng Xiao showed it to Hu Hui.
This is the recital of the imperial history to impeach Wang Cheng.
"It seems that this case is against the saint." Hu Hu can see it through.
"What do you mean by the next move? Anhui rebellion? Zhu Qiyu laughed.
Hu Hu actually laughed too.
If a chess player sees through the opponent's next move, then he will lose the opportunity and will not win at all.
"Your Majesty, it may not be only Anhui that rebelled."
Hu Hu saw Jiangxi.
Jiangxi was tossed miserably by Jin Zhong, if you say that you don't have hatred in your heart, it is absolutely false.
Moreover, Jin Zhong, Yang Xin and others left in a hurry, resulting in the purge not being completely completed, and it is very likely that they will be used.
"If Jiangxi is reversed, Hunan, Guangdong, and Guangxi will not stop."
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Jiaozhi is going to cut off contact with the mainland again, and it will rebel soon." ”
"In this way, the whole south will be in chaos."
However, the emperor still has a happy heart.
"Your Majesty, if they all come out to rebel, it will be a good thing." Hu Hu was also laughing.
If the place is chaotic, Nanjing will be safe.
What worries him the most is the safety of the emperor, not the safety of the place, even if the place is chaotic, there will be no chaos.
There are governors everywhere, which one is the fool?
Fang Ying hasn't left yet, Fang Ying is here, and Liangguang can't be messed up.
Ma Jin is not a mediocre talent, he is pressed by the strong Jin Zhong, and in terms of hard work, political achievements, and fighting, Ma Jin is much stronger than Jin Zhong.
And the governor of Anhui is Wang Hong.
Wang Hong has a resounding name in the south of the Yangtze River, and Wang beheaded.
Although Shi Pu in Zhejiang is a little weak, and Zhang Gu and Hu Yu are in town, Hu Hu is too confident in his son.
"Look."
The decree is to be sent to the Cabinet, which will send it again.
At the same time, one secret message after another was sent from Nanjing to Shandong, Henan, and Rehe, and the farthest one was sent to North Korea.
And in Cochin.
The resettlement of immigrants was orderly, and Zhu Ying's power made the Guangxi army feel terrified.
Zhu Ying is not Fang Ying, close to the soldiers.
Zhu Ying has always been extremely arrogant, he only recognizes the law, and the rules he has established, if you violate it, you will be killed, no matter who you are.
He spent half a year in Jiaozhi and killed thousands of people.
also triggered seven rebellions because of the killing, all of which were put down by Zhu Ying.
Under the power, it became Zhu Ying in Jiaozhi, and he made a promise.
Yushi's impeachment of Zhu Ying is suspected of self-reliance, but the center is noncommittal, allowing Yushi to impeach and Zhu Ying, as long as the toe is stable.
Hao Xuan came back from Phnom Penh, he went in the rainy season, came back in the rainy season, soaked in the water, and when he returned to Yuzhou, he fell ill and became seriously ill.
He bought 420,000 slaves from Cambodia, only 370,000 survived to Cochin, and 50,000 died on the road due to walking in the rainy season and various reasons.
Zhu Ying organized people to distribute slaves.
Because of the rainy season, the roads were muddy and difficult to navigate, and slaves fled.
It was the first time for new immigrants to have such a rainy season, and many people were sick, but fortunately, the center had stockpiled enough medicinal materials in advance, otherwise the number of two million people in Jiaozhi would have been reduced by half.
But tens of thousands of people also died.
This prompted the newcomers to study medicine, how to prevent diseases of Cochin, mosquitoes, and so on.
Xia Xun also recovered the entire territory of the city before the rainy season came, reaching the southernmost point.
The entire province of Cochin is completely formed.
After the dispatch of troops, he also fell ill.
Mainly because he didn't adapt to the climate, he wrote to Zhu Ying and wanted to transfer back to the north, but the weather was too hot for him to stand it.
And Zhu Ying can't stand it.
Zhu Ying stayed in Shandong for three years and was used to the life of a northerner, but when he came to such a hot place, his head was buzzing every day, and he doubted that he would definitely not live long.
As soon as Qin Hong arrived in Jiaozhou, he fell ill.
It's also because I can't stand the heat of this piece.
In the rainy season, it rains incessantly, resulting in frequent epidemics.
"This is the place of the hell."
Zhu Ying could only hold on, the emperor was even too hot in Nanjing, so he came to Jiaozhi to try.
and the mainland before breaking the news.
Zhu Ying received a letter from the emperor saying that he would move 10 million people to Jiaozhi, and asked him to do a good job of opening up westward, buying more slaves, hollowing out the forest and turning it into arable land.
and allocated a sum of money to Cochin for the purchase of slaves.
"This damn weather, you can't work at all."
"Those gentry are delicate and delicate, and they are too hot to sit in the house."
"I can only buy more slaves, fortunately, Xia Xun didn't massacre, just turn the Zhancheng people into slaves, and you have to use these people to open up Jiaozhi."
Zhu Ying suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "If only there were saltpeter mines!" ”
Saltpeter ice!
He misses the ice at the moment, how comfortable it would be if he could lie on the ice.
But he did not complain that the emperor opened up the territory, because this Jiaozhi was originally the Han land, which has been occupied by the Annam people since ancient times, and now it is taken back, and it should be taken back.
