Wan Shihe described Yin Zhengmao's conquest of Luzon as a misunderstanding, which is an extremely shameless approach, but it is particularly reasonable to bend the pen a little.

Is it the result or the process that matters? In fact, it is the impact and feedback after the results that are the most important.

"Wang Daokun and others admonished, the dispute over Songjiang Shipyard." Zhang Juzheng took out another notebook, and the main content of this court discussion was focused on opening the sea, and if you want to open the sea, there must be a ship.

There have been some waves in the matter of Daming shipbuilding.

There are mainly three ideas, the first is to follow the law of the ancestors and comprehensively imitate the ships of the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty; the second is a comprehensive imitation of foreign ships; The third is the combination of Chinese and Western to create a ship that belongs to the Ming Dynasty.

The first way of thinking is difficult to achieve, the wood used for shipbuilding at the beginning, that is all built with the strength of the world, in a short period of time to restore the glory of the ancestors, it is really difficult, and the shipbuilding experience and ideas of 160 years ago, put it now, is indeed a little backward. The Ming Dynasty lost its commodity advantage in shipbuilding.

And the second way of thinking is what Songjiang Mansion is doing at the moment, which is why Hongmaofan wants to set up a shipyard in Luzon, so suitable for shipbuilding, in the place controlled by Hongmaofan, there is no at all.

Only distributed in Luchuan in Myanmar, Siam, Annam and other places, it is also very convenient to take materials nearby, there is teak in Wanli Haitang, this kind of hardwood shipbuilding is the most suitable, and Luchuan's teak industry chain is extremely stable, the supply is large enough, and it can be built immediately.

Therefore, there is a three-masted merchant ship imitation, the action is extremely fast, there is already a ship launched, this is a kind of assembly, but also the restoration of the Ming shipbuilding capacity, the southeast shipbuilding industry of the Ming Dynasty is not nothing, but limited by the long-term sea ban, the scale is limited, the imperial court affairs, that is naturally clenched fists to do big things.

The third is the opinion of the maritime hall, which is also the consistent practice of the Ming Dynasty.

On the Taixi boat, the Daming sailor has also found some shortcomings, and has made improvements, such as the hard sail used by the Daming, which is far more practical than the soft sail, and can ride the wind in all directions, and the speed is faster, for example, the Taixi ship does not have the design of a watertight cabin.

The design of the watertight cabin during the Yongle period was still ahead of Taixi, and the structure was simple and easy to improve.

"I see, the reason why the lucky ship is called the lucky ship is that it is a blessed ship." After reading Wang Daokun's recital, Zhu Yijun knew that the origin of the word "lucky ship", because of the watertight cabin, caused the ship to be in sailing, and the probability of sinking the ship due to a water penetration accident was reduced from ninety percent to two percent, and it was a blessed ship.

In the watertight compartment, there is a water hole located at the bottom of the bulkhead, when the bulkhead is flooded, it will quickly block the water hole under the pressure of the water, preventing the shipwreck from continuing to permeate.

Once the Taixi ship is permeable, it is almost inevitable to sink the ship, and the idea of the watertight cabin of Daming is to divide the ship into a closed room, once there is water seepage, close a warehouse to prevent the ship from sinking, so it is called a lucky ship.

These ideas of ancient and modern cooperation, the combination of Chinese and Western, immediately became a mainstream voice, and even the court heard their running calls.

Zhang Juzheng pondered for a moment and said: "The sea is tolerant of all rivers, and it is great to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses to preserve the essence." ”

The Ming Dynasty lost the commodity advantage on the ship, it was the Ming Dynasty that lost one hundred and forty years, and lost the supply chain of the ship, including the supply of wood, bamboo, iron, oil, hemp, rattan, etc., there are more than 40 kinds of materials alone, and the imperial court wants to build sea ships, which naturally have to be opened.

The loss of commodity advantages does not mean that Daming's design ideas have completely backwarded.

Building a ship is by no means so easy, for example, this iron alone has cut iron, steel, construction iron, new nails, yellow nails, nail blanks, iron wires, anvils, iron bars, penny mistakes, thallium scales, and so on, all of which need to be done.

The Songjiang Shipyard recruited a total of 3,260 shipwrights from Qingjiang, Suzhou, Huai'an, Yangzhou and other places, more than 6,000 laborers, and 317 southern soldiers who were responsible for the inspection of garrisons and laws.

This is a huge system project, if you want to achieve it, you must need an efficient court to schedule, obviously the Ming under the test law, can do it.

From the beginning of its establishment, Songjiang Shipyard also fell into a short period of confusion, the money was spent, the people arrived, and the expectations were expected, what kind of ships were more suitable to build? Yin Zhengmao knocked down Luzon and sent the information in the Manila shipyard to Songjiang Mansion, since Hongmaofan used this kind of ship to cross the ocean, then build this kind of ship to make do with it first, first solve the problem of whether it is good or not, and then solve the problem of whether it is good or not.

Obviously, Songjiang Shipyard and Maritime Academy are very concerned about whether it is good or not, and the combination of ancient and modern times, Chinese and Western has become a kind of mainstream.

This kind of ancient and modern synergy, the combination of Chinese and Western is not only the first to be put forward by the little emperor, the Ming Dynasty's improvement of the bird gun, the Fran cannon, are based on this line of thinking, this kind of improved thinking, has a long history.

This matter really has to be decided by the imperial court, and it needs to be decisive, otherwise the quarrel will be endless, and no one can afford this violation of the ancestral family law, the ancestral things are not good, and the foreign ship is good wind public opinion, should the shipyard do it? Of course, the Matsue shipyard knows how to do it, but such political pressure is not something that a shipyard can decide.

This is the concrete embodiment of the political rigidity of the Ming Dynasty, when a new thing appears, the primary consideration is the political influence.

This sentence itself is Zhu Yijun's instructions for foreign exchanges, and there is nothing to refute, to scold is also to scold the old Taoist priest of Jiajing, he first began to improve the arquebus, improve the Fran cannon, this is the ancestor of the law, respect the heavens and the ancestors of the four big characters of the Qianqing Palace.

The court discussion is still going on, and the noisy matter is still the issue of collecting the right endowment, the country is not rich, the people are also poor, and the question of returning land is also a very big problem on the table.

"How to collect the right endowment after returning the land? In the past, the grain chief has been eliminated because of the long-term merger, and now the positive endowment of the Ming Dynasty is simply a robbery, and the powerful and wealthy cannot receive it, so they can only be scavenged from the small people, and the small people do not have it, and the two taxes in the summer and autumn every year must be fought, which is really difficult to do. Wan Shihe talked about the general phenomenon of the Ming Dynasty.

Hai Rui also said with some emotion: "It is indeed universal, when I was in Yingtianfu, I also found this vicious cycle repeatedly. ”

"So Yin Butang is in the extreme south, and he is tearing down the door and moving the bed, and the court knows that he is a gentleman and a powerful man, but what can he do? Is this bandit suppressed or not? Is this a bad one? can only let Yin Butang do evil. Ge Shouli also said with emotion.

Hai Rui's fish and meat gentleman was impeached and went home to stay idle and not sign official business, but Yin Zhengmao had already come to the door, and the court ignored it.

The Ming princes in the Ming Dynasty are the courtiers that His Majesty has identified that can be brought to the Taimiao to show the ancestors, not stinky fish and rotten shrimp, nor wine bags and rice bags.

In fact, what they discussed, this involves a common phenomenon inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a topic that cannot be touched, the armed resistance of small people to taxes, or civil unrest.

The powerful are extremely good at a royal method to create civil unrest.

That is to shift the pressure of the imperial court to collect taxes downward, forcing the imperial court not to increase taxes, or even to collect taxes.

This was also the main contradiction of the Japanese troubles in those years, the imperial court wanted to collect taxes, and to set up a banknote such as the Yuegang Metropolitan Salary Pavilion to draw points, and the powerful and powerful immediately stripped downward, causing civil unrest.

This is Gu Shaofang's desperate plan when he faced the court's order to return the land, and the powerful people have long formed a path dependence, forcing the people to have no way to live, falling into the grass as bandits, entering the sea as a coward, and forcing the court to not collect taxes.

The pessimistic Wang Zhihe said helplessly: "The big evils of appeasing bribery have been accomplished, and it is difficult to return." ”

"It's difficult, it's difficult, it's hard to get to the sky!" Wang Xijue, the head of the Hanlin Academy, was also full of emotion.

A dead knot.

Local officials, if they want to complete the taxes distributed by the imperial court, they must appease the local large households, otherwise the large households will not pay, they will have to go to the countryside to loot, go to the countryside to loot, and the people will use everything they can to resist the taxation, and it is not that the small people are disrespectful to the imperial court, because there are too many, and the local large households have encroached on most of the means of production, but they refuse to pay, and the small people will have to bear these taxes.

The fish scale book of the imperial court is placed there, and how many places in a county and how many positive endowments should be placed there.

This terrible vicious circle is embodied in taxation: if the magistrates want to collect taxes, they must appease the powerful tyrants who occupy the vast majority of the means of production, and the more they are appeased, the more the means of production will be concentrated in the hands of the powerful tyrants, even including the people themselves.

The powerful and powerful who hold the land and the people into self-respect, the more arrogant they become, and they do not take the court seriously, and the more the magistrates want to connive at the powerful people.

Once the imperial court forced the powerful to return to the land, the powerful who had followed the imperial court to strip the people together would use the people who were physically dependent in their hands to resist, resist taxes with arms, and be a chicken feather.

Is it just a tax? Conscription, suppression of bandits, building bridges and roads, learning houses, etc., all local activities, all the decrees of the imperial court, are trapped in this predicament, but there is no way to do it.

This is the new policy and power that Zhang Juzheng repeatedly mentioned are all top-down, and they are also bottom-up.

"Let's continue the deliberations." Zhang Juzheng also did not give a specific solution.

After the court discussion, Zhang Juzheng was still full of sadness, he thought of a way, and this method was effective.

I just don't know if His Majesty the Emperor is willing to do it, once this matter is done, it will not only be Zhang Juzheng who will be scolded, but also the little emperor will be scolded together.

"Sir has something to say." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng's constipated appearance, and even considered asking Chen Shigong to come over with three products and a gun to open Zhang Juzheng's eyes, and if he had something to say, he swallowed and vomited.

Zhang Juzheng took out a notebook, handed it to Zhang Hong, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a book." ”

"Sir seems to have violated the rules." Zhu Yijun took the song and didn't open it to see it, Zhang Juzheng bypassed the cabinet, bypassed the celebrant and supervisor, and presented the song directly to the little emperor, indicating that this matter is a big matter.

Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Very good work. ”

Zhu Yijun calmly finished reading Zhang Juzheng's recital, closed the recital very peacefully, handed the recital back and said, "Sir, this infamous gentleman can't afford it, so I'd better bear it." I am still young, I don't have to take it seriously, and when the time comes, I will make a fierce fuss, and I will make a big fuss, so I will bow my head, admit my mistake, write a notebook of my crimes, and read it before going to the Taimiao, and everyone should have nothing to do. ”

"Your Majesty, how can there be anything wrong." Zhang Juzheng held the song and said: "The courtier has let the king fall into notoriety, which is the biggest disrespect. ”

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "Sir, why can't you use all the people and things that can be used to exchange for the comeback of the Ming Dynasty?" Isn't it used in these places, and in what places? Besides, it is not certain whether I am guilty of all kinds of crimes, or whether I am guilty of all sides, and whether I read this book of sins or not is another matter. ”

Zhang Juzheng said with a look of embarrassment: "Your Majesty." ”

"Sir." Zhu Yijun said gently.

Zhu Yijun continued: "You can't do this trick, if you get on, you will sit on Fu Yingzhen's accusations, and you will be on the charge of trespassing, Ge Shuli, Zhang Siwei, Wan Shihe, and Fu Yingzhen are all waiting for this day, waiting for the day when Mr. sits on the usurpation of imperial power, and those protégés who follow Mr. will also leave Mr., and then use the banner of me to knock Mr. to the ground, trample on the soil, and trample on him fiercely. ”

"The protégés promoted by Mr. and the new policies implemented by Mr. will disappear with the departure of Mr. and people will die in politics."

"Forbearance will be a long-cherished wish, pay it to the bottom of the river?"

Zhang Juzheng found that he could no longer treat His Majesty as a child in the future, Gan Luo was twelve years old, Yue Yun was twelve years old to fight on the battlefield, His Majesty said that the young man was strong and fierce.

"I'll make an order." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and didn't speak, thinking that he had agreed and was ready to make a decision.

Zhang Juzheng still refused to say: "It's better for the minister to play, this minister reports to the emperor and is loyal to His Majesty's position." Your Majesty is a saint, who has no loss in deeds and is wise and unblemished. ”

Zhang Juzheng still insisted on his political opinions, respecting the right of the lord to prestige and blessing, ceremonies and pleasures, celebrating rewards and punishments from the Son of Heaven, and refused to agree to detain this sewage on the head of the little emperor, it is more appropriate for him to bear the infamy, and the emperor's prestige cannot be lost when he is in power.

This is what a loyal minister should do.

Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng are not always in step with each other in some matters, there is no conflict of ideas, there are also some small contradictions between monarchs and ministers, and the general goal is the same, so the contradictions can be put aside.

Zhu Yijun found that he couldn't refute it, so he could only shake his head and say, "Okay." ”

"Then let's talk about Mr.'s method specifically, Mr. is still not ruthless enough, I'll talk about my thoughts." Zhu Yijun sat up straight, and when he reported on his work in Taimiao, he also thought of a way.

Coincidental! Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng thought of a place.

Zhu Yijun pondered the language and said: "Why did Yin Butang in Nanya suppress the gentry and powerful people so that they couldn't lift their heads, so that they didn't even dare to take a breath?" If they are bullied, they can only hand over the door, because they don't dare, they don't dare to transfer Yin Butang's bullying of them downward, causing a civil uprising, and Yin Butang really wants to kill them. ”

"Yin Butang can really kill them."

"Song Yangshan, Zhang Jin, Yu Dayou, Chen Lan, Wang Daokun, Zhang Cheng and others presided over the affairs of Songjiang City in Nanya, and the matter of returning the field, why were so many cases detained, even Xu Fan had a murder case, and he was confiscated in Jizhen Town, but after Luo Bingliang arrived, he copied the Gu family and killed the chickens and monkeys, and immediately did not dare? Because of the provocation of the people's uprising, Luo Bingliang will really raid his house and destroy his family. ”

"Because Luo Bingliang can really raid the house."

"Yin Butang is a wicked person, Luo Bingliang is an eagle dog, and the Pingwu and the family raider, isn't it within their authority?"

"At present, the disadvantages of the world's appeasement, the local appeasement of the powerful, or the main reason why the local can't fight the powerful: there is no knife in our hands, what we have to do is to hand this knife to the local officials."

Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said, "That's true." ”

This is the content of Zhang Juzheng's book, how to hand the knife to the local officials and let them fight.

Zhu Yijun continued: "This knife we must first ensure one thing, not to hurt the foundation of the imperial court, so we need to draw a boundary and formulate good rules, Mr. also said, the people are the foundation of the state, and the country is solid, so what should we do?" In addition, we should not give the localities too much power to prevent the risk of feudal towns, and we must also want the localities to be able to fight over the powerful and powerful, all relying on ingenuity and ingenuity, and not replacing the criticism of weapons. ”

"This knife should be handed over."

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again and said.

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Mr. insisted that Gao Qiyu die, I sent Gao Qiyu to Suzhou to investigate the encroachment of Ma Yilong's barren land, and he found that he couldn't handle it, so he went to invite Luo Bingliang, the fox fake Huwei, and got the matter done." ”

"The fox and the tiger can solve a doubt, the local financial use is autonomous, and the terrible situation of the imperial court is lost."

"Sir's method is the same as my method, Beizhen Fusi opened a tax audit room, and the provincial highways sent Beizhen Fusi to punish thousands of households to guard, and each prefecture to punish 100 households, and each county sent Tiqi to specialize in tax inspection, and was only responsible for tax inspection."

"But sir, the Beizhen Fusi is a criminal department, there are a total of six hundred people, and there are not that many at all, so we still have to select."

Zhu Yijun didn't let Zhang Juzheng play, because of this matter, he called a department that Zhang Juzheng couldn't touch, Jinyiwei.

How to keep Zhang Juzheng's reputation, the little emperor also has his own tricks, he continued: "This tax inspection is related to the country's financial use, how can it be handed over to Jinyiwei?" Within a few days, this yamen will have to rot in a mess. ”

"Contradictions exist between all things, and balance and harmony also exist between all things."

"I thought that a special tax bureau should be set up, and Jinshi Juren, who is proficient in arithmetic, will be selected from all over the country to serve as administrative officials, Tiqi will specialize in tax auditing, and internal officials will be dispatched to supervise the provinces and highways."

Zhang Juzheng heard this, his face finally changed slightly, once this tax bureau is established, it will inevitably attract the verbal criticism of Shilin Qingliu, after all, the gentleman is ashamed of his words, and as a result, Zhang Juzheng's words are just right, and a tax bureau has been set up.

"As it should be." Zhang Juzheng's recital, that is, to send Tiqi to keep an eye on the point, that is, a temporary emergency, if there is a disobedience, kill the chickens and monkeys, copy a family, and the court law can be upheld.

As a result, His Majesty came to double, not only to ride there, but also to have the head of the household department, and to have internal supervision and supervision.

The Ming Dynasty used such checks and balances, only the matter of conquest, it is obvious that the emperor has equated taxation and levy in his heart, as if there is no difference, levy and taxation are the same levy.

This wind public opinion, Zhang Juzheng asked himself, can still withstand it.

Zhu Yijun continued: "This system is solved, what about manpower? Manpower is a big problem, a county has a cavalry tax, that is to force the cavalry to a dead end, you have to give the cavalry some manpower. ”

"The people have their own hands."

"I thought that if I issued a tax stamp, ordered each family to fill in how many acres of land their family has, and filed their own taxes, if they dared to steal and dare to leak, let the Ti Riders recruit the heroes of the rivers and lakes to make up for the difference, set the share, and give them 30% of the number of escapes."

"These high-rollers, the powerful can use them to oppress the people, why can't they be used by the court to bully the powerful people?"

The imperial power is licensed to eat big households, and the bandits all over the world should be very interested.

In the little emperor's words, Zhang Juzheng understood what the little emperor meant, armed taxation, make full use of the folk bandits, of course, you can call them heroic rangers, and levy them by force.

Zhu Yijun's method was copied from the world's third largest armed force in later generations, the American tax police, plagiarized from the Ming Dynasty's West Factory and Insider Factory, and copied from the tax supervisor of the Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

In the 30 years that Emperor Wanli has been rotten for a long time, he has been extremely concerned about one thing, that is, making money, Zhang Juzheng taught Emperor Wanli so many things, and Emperor Wanli remembered one thing, making money.

The mining tax supervisor of the Wanwanli Emperor can be described as notorious, and he is even more called: one income from internal funds, and nineteen income from private pockets.

The method proposed by Zhu Yijun now has also been carefully considered, and while the tax bureau is directly subordinate to the emperor, there are also civil officials involved, and the income tax is not used as internal funds, but the internal funds of the state are divided in half.

Zhang Juzheng was dumbfounded after hearing this, His Majesty not only doubled, but he also doubled super, this method is too vicious!

He also understood, why didn't His Majesty let him bear this infamy, he really couldn't bear it, could he carry this infamy?

Zhang Juzheng was silent for a long time, and said with difficulty: "Your Majesty ordered to supervise it?" Minister, I won't play it. ”

Look at how many vicious thoughts this sunny and cheerful little emperor hides in his heart!

Zhang Juzheng is discovering more and more that he is protecting the courtiers and the gentry and power in the world!

Zhu Yijun showed a smile and continued: "Okay, but the implementation of a government decree is not achieved overnight, then it will be tried in Nanya first, and Luo Bingliang will supervise this matter, and first try it out in the fourteen mansions of Nanya. ”

Zhang Juzheng blinked, and finally understood why His Majesty had to ask Zhao Mengyou to be the marshal, instead of letting Luo Bingliang, Luo Sigong was the sparring partner of the little emperor who fought every day in the palace.

Feelings, waiting here!

The grass snake gray line, the veins are thousands of miles, a drink and a peck, it is not predetermined, the little emperor is afraid that he has been planning this matter for a long time, and he will push it little by little!

"Sir?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked suspiciously, "Does Mr. disagree?" ”

Zhang Juzheng came back to his senses, bowed his head and said, "The minister is guilty and distracted." ”

"Then let's talk about the feast." Zhu Yijun opened the textbook, planning to go to class, Zhang Juzheng began to explain the direct solution of private school, last year he learned Mencius, and this year he began to talk about the mean.

The collection of monetary taxes must be accompanied by fierce social contradictions, so the super double, armed taxation, has become an inevitable means, the powerful are all rich, and the families they raise are even better than the local officials, and even the local officials' officials, most of them are also powerful people.

At present, the imperial court does not have so much money and supports so many people, so it needs to actively mobilize the enthusiasm of social vitality groups and collect taxes.

The tax bureau only audits taxes, and everyone else does not care, even if it is a kiln, it has to pay taxes.

Zhu Yijun prepared the will, did not mention the tax room, nor did he mention the tax bureau, the organizational structure was not achieved overnight, Luo Bingliang first worked in the south ya, and then set up the tax office of the Fusi in Beizhen, and the tax bureau independent of the six ministries.

Zhu Yijun got a set of tax stamps and tax payment certificates, and the tax stamps were issued to the wealthy households, and they filled in the number of acres and the number of taxes levied.

The tax payment certificate, sewn together, and then torn apart, is an anti-counterfeiting method that cannot be copied.

In the world, there is no overnight success, Zhu Yijun just told Zhang Juzheng his thoughts, and did not come up and make a big move.

When this decree was issued, it had little impact.

The courtiers, courtiers, Beijing officials, and foreign officials were completely unaware of the terrible power of this note, and even countless people were still ridiculing that His Majesty the Emperor was too young and inexperienced, and he was a year older, and the edict was like a joke.

The next tax stamp, do you want the powerful to pay their own taxes?

Ge Shouli finished reading the newspaper, looked at the holy decree on it, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty is still too young, a little whimsical, this next tax stamp, the tax payment certificate of Qi Sewn Seal, can you collect taxes?" If the powerful people of the Ming Dynasty are all people who are loyal to the monarch and the country, how can there be a situation of great financial losses today? ”

Hai Rui frowned, he smelled the smell of conspiracy, but he didn't think about what happened for a while, he just instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

Hai Rui said solemnly: "So let Luo Qianhu keep an eye on it, who refuses to pay taxes and raids the house, and if you copy a few houses, you will pay it?" Ge Zongxian, do you really think that Your Majesty is having no purpose? Your Majesty talked about the feast, we all watched it, Your Majesty scolded the courtiers, we also remember it vividly, do you think, Your Majesty will really do this kind of useless work? ”

"There's a problem here."

Mr. Zhang is still too gentle in doing things, he is scolded anyway, why not double it after it, super double? The Armed Tax Bureau was established today! Ask for a monthly pass, woo!!!!
