Chapter 280: I Have a Way
Speculating on a five-masted foreign ship, that is to touch the military power, how much to build, where to deploy, how many firearms, that is to directly report to the imperial court for approval, get the emperor's approval, as for the sale, it is even more to Antonio to come to Beijing and personally obtain the emperor's approval, this thing is something that can not be touched, and the three-masted foreign ship, the unit price is too high, not conducive to circulation.
Gold lacks stable output, and the unit price of sea vessels is too high, so worsted wool has become the most suitable product.
This business was caused by Wang Qian throwing firewood into the fire and burning it, which is why Wang Qian is a bad person who has done all the bad things and is full of evil.
Cutting off people's financial means is like killing one's parents, with a wronged head and a debtor.
But the most terrible thing about the worsted wool business is that at the moment when the fire is cooking, there is no specific sinner.
The main products of Yongding and Yongsheng woolen factories are woolen woolen wool, accompanied by worsted wool, which is supplied to the royal family as a luxury thing; And Yan Xinglou and the trading house are only trading as Chinese people; The Ming princes of the imperial court were worried about the border troubles of the empire in order to cultivate virtue and devotion; The emperor's decision in this process was to let the steppe raise more sheep and less horses.
So, on the day of the explosion, where do the people involved in this matter go to find a specific sinner? can only wail, willing to gamble and lose, after all, this big casino has been involved in it from the very beginning, willing to gamble and lose.
Before the explosion, the emperor pretended to issue a few persuasive edicts, and as for whether to listen to it or not, it depends on the opinions of the powerful right.
Wang Qian, Wang Chonggu, and Zhu Yijun are all readers, very pure kind of readers with ghost ideas and bad intestines.
Zhu Yijun walked around the Yongding woolen factory, crossed the bridge to the Yongsheng woolen factory across the river, Yongsheng woolen factory is more like a nursery hall, are women, children and children, the division of labor is mainly weaving, worsted and woollen, as well as with children, the school is built in the Yongsheng woolen factory.
He likes to come here very much, and the children of the craftsmen here have books to read, which is Wang Chonggu's self-respect, so that when the court and the emperor want to do something to him, he will first weigh his ability.
Zhu Yijun found an interesting thing, Wang Chonggu's factories are built with isolation belts, a little inquiry, only to find that it is specially established for fire prevention, obviously Wang Chonggu to prevent some small set of fires, and the courtyard walls are glass ballast, in the official factory, there are nearly 100 hunting dogs.
"Those are guest soldiers, aren't they?" Zhu Yijun looked at the factory guards with big shoulders and round waists and murderous faces, and asked Wang Chonggu.
"Your Majesty is wise." Wang Chonggu bowed his head and said.
The two official factories placed 500 guest soldiers, these guests were all survived after fighting on the battlefield, these guest soldiers a year of money is 12 silver, the start of the silver is 2 taels, the New Year silver is 2 taels, the total is 16 taels, so these guest soldiers are dutiful.
To raise so many guest soldiers, it is indeed necessary to have so many, the two official factory craftsmen exceeded 30,000 people, these five hundred guest soldiers are not only government servants, but also factory guards, and are also responsible for raising vicious dogs, originally the vicious dogs will bark when they see the living, but as soon as those red-helmeted generals stand there, these vicious dogs will lie directly on the ground, sticking out their tongues and cocking their tails.
Zhu Yijun's side of the cavalry is selected from the Duntai Yuanhou who is not collected at night, active on the grassland, deep into the captive camp, standing there, no need to show fierce gods, can deter these vicious dogs, even if it is a murderous guest soldier, seeing these Duntai Yuanhou only respect, under such harsh conditions on the grassland, go deep into the captivity camp to investigate the news, that requires faith, but also needs to be extremely strong.
Zhu Yijun walked through the handicraft workshop of spinning, spinning thread and spinning, and then inspected the official houses where the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty lived.
"Go in and have a look." Zhu Yijun walked to the front of a building, walked in, and then walked out a little stupidly.
It's not that there's anything dirty inside, and it's not that I saw something that shouldn't be seen, in order to meet the inspection, the rats in the mouse hole were split in half vertically, but as soon as he entered, the craftsmen were kneeling in front of the door of the townhouse to wait for the holy driver, and there was a rider standing next to these craftsmen, for fear that something would happen, the kneeling person must be full of complaints, and Zhu Yijun also saw that the tip of his nose was sweating.
No matter how long the Cheap Confucians kneel, Zhu Yijun has no waves in his heart, crying and wiping tears for mercy, Zhu Yijun will not have any mercy, when he fights with the Cheap Confucians in the court, he never softly, Zhu Pi kills, personally supervises, when the head is rolling and the blood is flowing like a river, he will never have the feeling of not being able to bear to look at it, because those people deserve to die.
However, inspecting an official residence, so that the little emperor who is not afraid of heaven and earth is not afraid, has relatives, the craftsman has handed over a balance of three million taels of silver to the internal treasury and the national treasury this year, and the transaction tax of worsted wool has exceeded 400,000 taels, and these craftsmen have directly created a lot of wealth for the Ming national treasury and the internal treasury.
Zhang Juzheng was so powerful that he gave Zhu Yijun 1.2 million silver pocket money in a year, and the silver that the craftsmen directly gave to the inner money was nearly 2 million taels.
"There are tens of thousands of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy."
"It's good, it's good, although there is no ondol, it's not a warm pavilion, but the wall is more than a bundle thick, plus this thick quilt, it can't freeze to death." Zhu Yijun spoke highly of the townhouse official house, he quoted Du Fu's "Song of the Thatched House Broken by the Autumn Wind", praised Wang Chonggu, blessed the Han people, and kept their family.
The quilt is purchased uniformly, and it is new, probably the New Year's silver is bought in kind, Wang Chonggu gave not cash silver, but the purchase of New Year's goods, the purchase of physical goods, the first is to fight corruption, this is Wang Chonggu's own money, the real thing is not easy to be corrupt; The second is the current situation of the official factory, in fact, the silver was given to the craftsman, and the craftsman was reluctant to spend it, and a little money was carefully wrapped in red silk cloth and carefully hidden.
Wang Chonggu did a good job, and Zhu Yijun was really satisfied.
"This is all due to the grace of Your Majesty." Wang Chonggu has discovered the skill of his own life, as long as he protects these craftsmen, he can live well.
What is good at the top will be very bad at the bottom.
Under Zhang Juzheng's education, the emperor obviously prefers the poor coolies, and if he wants to express his loyalty to the monarch and the country, there is no need to be a flattering courtier, he only needs to protect these poor coolies and let them have something to eat, then they can be exchanged for saints from the emperor, and they can be blessed in some things.
For example, someone recently impeached Wang Chonggu for embezzling the money from the palace Dingjian, and he was forgiven by His Majesty.
The emperor's wedding was originally scheduled for December of the fifth year of Wanli, but because he was less than 16 years old, it needed to be the following year, and it was finally determined to be March of the sixth year of Wanli.
Wang Chonggu has been in accordance with the construction period of December of the fifth year of Wanli, in this process, the rigidity of the imperial court began to reflect, the appropriation of internal and state funds is always very slow, there are many procedures to go, there are many processes to go, Wang Chonggu in order to catch up with the construction period, took a lot of his own silver to pay in advance, and then waited for the approval of the imperial court, he has been doing this, whether it is cleaning up the fire, digging the foundation, tamping the foundation, the lower column, backfilling, pouring the main building, lime plant construction and so on.
Wang Chonggu's behavior of paying in advance and then waiting for the imperial court appropriation is obviously in violation, which was targeted by the supervision of the imperial history, and Lian Zhang's impeachment floated into the Wenyuan Pavilion, and the emperor drew a cross about it, and he didn't even move it to the court.
This construction project, especially involves the part of manpower, to give enough money to fully mobilize the enthusiasm of labor, money is not enough, a two-story small building, you can build three or five years, or even directly unfinished.
In the construction of the entire palace, the Royal Gewu Academy, the Martial Arts School, the pagoda, the Dewang Mansion, and the Emperor's Palace, Wang Chonggu lost money solidly, because some of the bonuses for the examination were set up by Wang Chonggu in order to catch up with the construction period, and this part of the examination was paid for by himself.
After the emperor forgave him, the rumors against Wang Chonggu began to spread in the community, and even some miscellaneous newspapers took great pains to carry out special reports, claiming that Wang Chonggu was greedy for ink in the process, and was particularly lenient only because the holy family was in Long.
And Wang Chonggu himself is not easy to refute, some things will only get darker and darker, and the moment he ends, as the Duke of Ming, he loses.
"Recently, there have been many people in the market who have scolded the second assistant for being greedy for a lot of money, why didn't the second assistant refute one or two about this?" Zhu Yijun asked Wang Chonggu's opinion.
Wang Chonggu said very helplessly: "How to refute this, as soon as the minister came forward to say it, it was like something, and after a while, no one would talk about it." β
Wang Qian was a little indignant, these big works supervised by the Jingshi, their old Wang family not only made money, but also lost a lot of money, for the head of the nine clans, this money is nothing, and the loss of money is also scolded, which makes Wang Qian extremely uncomfortable.
But as Dad said, don't pay attention to it, the more you describe it, the darker it gets.
"I have a way, Feng Daban, after you return to Beijing, you can find Wan Dazai, let him be like this, like this, and this matter will be calm." Zhu Yijun said to Feng Bao.
"Obey." Feng Bao was also stunned when he heard this, and then understood what His Majesty meant.
Wang Qian couldn't help but ask, "What is this, this?" β
He was too curious, what did His Majesty the Emperor have in mind, the little emperor had always had a lot of unexpected ideas, and now it involved Wang Chonggu's reputation, Wang Qian wanted to ask clearly.
"Actually, it's very simple, it's to expand the impact area." Zhu Yijun smiled and explained what to do like this.
In fact, it is very simple, let Wan Shihe come forward and turn this wind public opinion around.
Cut in from a strange angle, breaking this demonic wind, this angle is: expanding the attack from Wang Chonggu himself to the group of Ming officials.
Let the Jingshi Miscellaneous Newspaper take stock of various major projects built by the Ming Dynasty, including the Great Wall and Yingbao in Yanshan, Liaodong, Xuanda, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, the repair and dredging of canals, the repair and repair of bridges and roads, and so on.
The logic is also very simple, Wang Chonggu is in charge of the palace Dingjian, this dares to be greedy, it is the emperor's house! Where other emperors can't see, is there more darkness hidden?
This move to expand the scope of the attack can be described as an extremely scoundrel, and the suspicion of Wang Chonggu in the market is transferred to the suspicion of the Ming officials, not to engage in my ministers? Wang Chonggu peeled off his skin, these officials are going to lose a piece of meat!
With the help of this wind and public opinion, let the Daming Divine Sword Hai Rui and the evil scumbag Wang Qian set off an anti-corruption storm again, this is Zhu Yijun's combination punch.
"Your Majesty, really read... Wise and wise! Wang Qian didn't say what was in his heart, His Majesty really deserved the title of scholar, insidious and ruthless, doing everything, Wang Qian immediately smelled the smell of the same kind of people.
The smell is the same, a raccoon dog.
Wang Chonggu was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." β
The emperor's disposition was naturally a lever of strength, but in the process, it did protect Wang Chonggu's personal reputation, and this move was transformed into a succession, tying Wang Chonggu's personal reputation to the overall reputation of the Ming officials.
"It's just a small thing." Zhu Yijun walked in the Yongsheng woolen factory with his hands behind his back, and then his eyes lit up, and he recognized Liu Qiniang.
It was before Zhu Yijun angrily reprimanded Sun Jigao, the champion of the second year of Wanli, who was called to stop in Yanxing Building to teach him the great joy of the world, Liu Qiniang is very eye-catching in the weaving girl, she has lived in the building for a long time, her skin is fair, her ten fingers do not touch the spring water, and she is naturally slender.
Zhu Yijun found that the maid beside Liu Qiniang was still the maid who was by Yanxinglou's side at the beginning, and it was obviously Liu Qiniang who helped redeem herself.
The emperor whispered a few words to Feng Bao, Feng Bao's face changed drastically, and he looked embarrassed, if he let the quasi-empress of the middle palace know, he was afraid that he would not be able to eat and walk around!
The emperor actually wanted to announce that he would see Liu Qiniang!
Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao's face, flicked his sleeves vigorously and said, "What are you thinking nonsense, I just asked her about her life in the official factory!" β
There is such a thing as great joy in life, Liu Qiniang, the Oiran does not necessarily know much about Zhu Yijun, he has no interest in the Oiran, Wang Yaozhuo does not know what kind of wind he smoked, and left all the thirty-six people who were selected to enter the palace, and the best of the best were selected as side concubines, and the rest served as palace maids, and the emperor of the province went out to fight in the wilderness, and there was everything at home.
Zhu Yijun was very worried about his waist after marriage, and before he got married, the queen gave him thirty-six beauties.
Liu Qiniang's life is as Feng Bao heard before, it is very comfortable, Zhu Yijun asked a few words about the treatment of the official factory, and then let Liu Qiniang leave, he is confirming whether the New Year's silver is in place, after the visit of Tiqi, the supervision of the imperial history, Zhu Yijun got the answer, and then after the confirmation of the emperor himself, the New Year's silver and the start ceremony are all in place.
"Your Majesty, it's a fixed division of this matter, Your Majesty doesn't allow it, the ministers take too much, and they really can't sleep." Wang Chonggu saw that the emperor was happy, and asked for his life again to reduce the share, which he had repeatedly sought.
His recital was Γdrawn by the emperor and beaten back, which made Wang Chonggu very anxious.
"The second assistant, the more money buys horse bones, the more the second assistant takes, the more people continue to work, if you really can't bear it, it will be better for the craftsmen." Zhu Yijun shook his head, the second assistant can't take it, the general office can't take it, and the big head can't take it, how can the craftsmen take it?
This distribution is not good at all, and it is the best distribution right now.
The wool of the woolen official factory is Wang Chonggu's doorway, and the official factory is also a business.
The state treasury takes the big head, Wang Chonggu, the general office, the charge d'affaires, and the big head takes the small head, and the craftsmen can still drink soup.
Zhu Yijun's requirements for the gentlemen and gentlemen are really not high, when they are so fat that they can let the people take a breath, drink some soup, and occasionally eat meat, they can already be regarded as loyal to the monarch and the country.
"The second assistant is loyal to the monarch and the country, and he still gives a hundred silvers this year, plus a flying fish pattern crane and five bottles of the national cellar, which is not only gracious, but should be done with heart." When Zhu Yijun was leaving, he rewarded Wang Chongguen, there were not many things, but during the Chinese New Year, Zhu Yijun's reward was a reassurance.
Every year during the Chinese New Year, Zhu Yijun will reward a crane according to reason, which can probably be regarded as a guarantee that Wang Chonggu will live until next year.
Wang Chonggu took his son Wang Qian, thanked the Holy Grace, and sent His Majesty the Emperor away.
"Your Majesty thinks that this official factory is well run, then it must be good, Your Majesty has to come several times a year, and if you go to Xishan Yicheng Bofu, you have to turn around and take a look, can it be good?" Wang Qian waited until the emperor's car turned a corner and could no longer be seen before he stood up, looked at the honor guard in the distance, and said with a smile.
Xishan Coal Bureau, Yongding, Yongsheng woolen official factory, the emperor inspected several times a year, Tiqi visited three times a month, and supervised the imperial history is always waiting to pout Wang Chonggu, so that he can eat meat, and the woolen official factory is a big piece of fat.
The reason why there is such a great supervision is because the fundamental purpose of the imperial court and the emperor is to weaken the offensive nature of the grassland, so that they can raise fewer horses and more sheep, and everything else is a matter of incident.
Wang Chonggu has a deep understanding that the project supervised by the emperor himself is really stressful, and he also shares a profit to his family, full of motivation, he is naturally highly motivated, will work hard, and he is really good at doing business.
"The big boss who pestered Liu Qiniang, let the general office talk to him, don't pester Liu Qiniang, and make a mess again, no one will be happy, Liu Qiniang is unwilling, what has been pestering." Wang Chonggu explained to Wang Qian.
Liu Qiniang drank too much cold medicine when she was an oiran, she couldn't give birth, and she didn't delay others, so she adopted one herself, Liu Qiniang refused very decisively, but this big head just likes it, and the entanglement is not the kind of door-to-door persecution, but sending some rice, flour, oil and grain every three or five times, and there are naturally rumors in this factory, obviously nothing happened, but it caused some bad effects.
This matter must be stopped here, if Liu Qiniang is forced to death by rumors, no one will be happy.
Gossip is always invisible.
Wang Chonggu was really concerned about the rumors that he was greedy for a lot of money in the construction of the palace, and he was very angry.
Thanks to His Majesty, there is a way.
Zhu Yijun really has a way, after he returned to Beijing, Feng Bao went to the Ministry of Rites to find Wan Shihe, drank a cup of tea, Feng Bao left, half an hour later, Wan Shihe wrote a heroic article, sent to the major miscellaneous newspapers for publication.
This essay's signature is Zhu Zhongxing, and this pen name is considered to be Zhang Juzheng's vest, and it is ironclad evidence of Zhang Juzheng's intention to transgress, but the courtiers are well aware that this pen name comes from His Majesty the Emperor.
The beginning of the Xiongwen starts with the first year of Wanli, the big hole built by the Great Wall of Xuanda, and the corruption cases from the first year of Wanli to the fifth year of Wanli, such as the dredging of canals and waterways in the second year of Wanli by Yin Gu Zhangzhi of Tianfu. 480,000 taels of silver embezzled 360,000 yuan, and then to the Shaanxi 72 Yingbao corruption case supervised by Shaanxi Governor Shi Maohua, and then to the Henan City Wall case, and so on, the corruption is specific to people, specific to problems, specific to impact, and specific to numbers.
In the end, Zhu Zhongxing summed up and said: Anti-corruption is more than the party, not anti-corruption, and the country is destroyed.
Anti-corruption also belongs to the emperor's new policy, not to Zhang Juzheng's new policy, Zhang Juzheng's new deal does not include anti-corruption, because he has long accepted bribes from generals to shield military generals, and stands for military generals, Qi Jiguang, Liu Xian father and son, Yingyangbo Zhang Yuanxun, etc., Zhang Juzheng receives them two thousand taels of filial piety a year, and really does things.
The public opinion on the wind power of Wang Chonggu's palace immediately disappeared, leaving only miscellaneous newspapers in Quanjin, Quanchu, Zhejiang, Nanya and other places, and still reprinting this editorial of Zhu Zhongxing.
"It's weird." Zhu Yijun put down a few miscellaneous reports in his hand, with a smile on his face.
If you don't occupy the high ground of public opinion, others will be on the high ground and point fingers at you.
When the scope of corruption expanded from Wang Chonggu to the entire bureaucratic system, public opinion became strange, and everyone immediately began to be busy with their own work, no longer clamoring for Wang Chonggu's personal problems, this problem can not be entangled, and if it continues to be entangled, I am afraid that a large number of people will die.
Obviously, the many problems caused by corruption should be discussed, but the editorials of the miscellaneous newspapers came to an abrupt end and chose to talk about him on the left.
"I guess I want to settle things." Feng Bao understood this change in wind public opinion very well, and the emperor picked up the expansion that the cheap Confucians were very good at to deal with these cheap Confucians, and these cheap Confucians could only take a step back and stop the noise of this kind of wind power.
"They want to settle things? It's late! β
"It's like a war, everyone can only decide the beginning of the war, not the end of the war." Zhu Yijun threw aside the miscellaneous newspaper in his hand, with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, after returning to the palace from the place that made him happy, the emperor once again became the little emperor of Deliang Youchong, the main one is ruthless, chasing and beating.
"The edict told the hundred officials of the Jingtang that this year's comet is full of sun, and the heavens and people are vigilant, and discuss the harm of corruption on the topic." Zhu Yijun not only did not let this wind public opinion stop, but chose to continue to add fuel and vinegar.
This is the emperor's order to write a proposition essay, everyone has to write, if you don't write it, you can't do it, to discuss the harm of rampant corruption, that is, let them slap themselves in the mouth, and create wind power public opinion for the coming year's divine sword unsheath.
There are still too few inscriptions in the Happy Stele Forest outside Chaoyang Gate, and there is not enough educational significance.
"Obey." Feng Bao bowed to the leader's order, what did he do to provoke the emperor, wouldn't it be good to have a good New Year? I had to stare at Wang Sikou's official factory, which caused the emperor's thunder, and now it's too late to kowtow and confess.
Zhu Yijun held another notebook, and his face became strange.
This is Ma Ziqiang's recital, and it is also his political promise to enter the cabinet, but his declaration is aimed at the ministry.
The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites deal with all the affairs of the Ministry of Rites all day long, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Ma Ziqiang aims at the Ministry of Officials, and the court always maintains a dynamic balance with a strange rationalization.
Ma Ziqiang's political promise to join the cabinet is an unswerving rectification of Confucianism.
And the first thing is to completely prevent Confucianism from entering the Ming Dynasty career system, causing damage and harm to the Ming Dynasty and beyond.
The foreign officials of the Ming Jingtang, since Jiajing, are roughly divided into two kinds, clear stream and turbid stream, with the passage of time, to the Wanli period, has been divided into the official and the clear stream.
Those who can do things are followers, and those who can't do things are Qingliu, according to Ma Ziqiang's recital, it is indeed a matter of the Ministry of Rites, politics, and the injustice of the upright people.
The so-called Qingliu's destruction of the Ming system is systematic, they are flooded with the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, holding power, but not doing things, creating a vacuum of power, there is no vacuum of power, there must be someone else stealing power.
When the lowly Confucians are in the majority, the corruption of the government becomes inevitable.
Ma Ziqiang almost scolded the Confucianism for being the minister of the country, and the Confucianism began to slack off when he performed his duties, and the corpse was vegetarian, in a high position and without care, and he couldn't do things, and his ability to do things was very strong.
One of the solutions given by Ma Ziqiang is: to be inferior in the first year of the examination, and to be dismissed and returned to his hometown; The second is: for three consecutive years, it has been averaged, and it has also been punished for waiting for posts, which has increased the power of the examination method on the primary election officials.
The third is to take the school and calculate the school, and if you can't pass the exam, you will not be given an official.
The Ming Dynasty debated whether arithmetic should be included in the imperial examination, and at the same time, the retro party was extremely resistant to arithmetic, and the retro school and the Confucianism were highly overlapped, so the use of arithmetic for selection can become one of the bases for judging its political tendencies at the moment.
The revitalization of arithmetic, the degree bypass, is the Ming Emperor to promote, by the Zheng Wang son Zhu Zaiyu from the astronomical almanac as the starting point to expand, this is the emperor advocated, if even arithmetic is not willing to learn, learn badly, the word loyalty can not be talked about, how to the country?
Ma Ziqiang's promise to enter the cabinet is to rectify the lowly Confucianism, and the admission criteria for the primary election officials are to set a limit on arithmetic, 100 questions, one point for each question, 90 points are qualified, and less than 90 points can not be elected.
Compared with Sun Piyang's lottery method, Ma Ziqiang used arithmetic to set limits on the governance of officials, which can be described as a precise strike.
"The edict knows that next year's court meeting, the election of officials by the ministry, joining the arithmetic, and the old people of Daming Pavilion being scolded, are all my fault, and I am responsible." Zhu Yijun Zhu criticized Ma Ziqiang's recital, and asked the officials to implement it.
After Ma Ziqiang's book was approved by the cabinet, he was afraid that he would be carved into a villain by thousands of readers, and he would not be angry until he died.
Asking for a monthly pass, woo!!!!!!!!
