Chapter 314: In the Wenhua Palace, there was a lot of joy
At the moment when Zhu Yijun was sure that he would not borrow troops, the eyes of several people were a little different, these were all courtiers who had newly entered the Wenhua Palace, such as Li Youzi, the right capital imperial history, Zeng Shengwu, the left squire of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Xueyan, the head of the household department.
According to the Ming Emperor's consistent profit-seeking style, investing in Antonio will get the greatest reward, and borrowing troops will undoubtedly make the greatest profit.
But the choice of the Ming Emperor seems to be very conservative, and the reason is only that they are the people of the Ming Dynasty, the sons of their parents, and the fathers of their children, the three of them have just entered the Wenhua Palace, and they don't know much about the Ming Emperor, but the other courtiers are very clear in their hearts, this is what His Majesty is saying.
But when it comes to the laborers of the poor, His Majesty is always more conservative than Zhang Juzheng.
His Majesty has always adhered to and adhered to a basic bottom line, that is, the people are the foundation of the state, and the country is solid, which is the basic bottom line of the new policy of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, and all policy formulation is carried out completely around this basic bottom line.
Wang Chonggu and Wan Shihe actually saw it more thoroughly, in fact, His Majesty was not optimistic about Antonio's rebellion, and the position of the king of Portugal, even if there would be some waves, I am afraid that it would eventually fall into the hands of Felipe II, because Felipe II was the king of the empire on which the sun never set, and the national strength was extremely strong.
"It depends on the strength of Your Majesty's investment." Antonio said with a solemn face.
"I can give you twelve boats, and all the plantations from the entire sea pond to the Strait of Malacca belong to me." Zhu Yijun said with great certainty.
His goal from the beginning was very clear, that is, those plantations he coveted for a long time, Daming needed a lot of food, especially after the Xiaoice era was about to become intense, the demand for food would become extremely terrifying, resorting to the ocean, was the only way Zhu Yijun could think of.
He is indeed working on farming, he is indeed improving planting techniques, he is indeed working hard to enrich Daming's crops, but the Xiaoice River era that began in the first year of Yongle is gradually becoming fierce, drought, locust plagues, floods, etc., will make Daming fall into a food crisis.
The Xiaoice River era began in the first year of Yongle, and the time of more than 170 years became more and more intense, and it was already extremely violent in the Wanli period.
"Your Majesty is really a businessman!" Antonio weighed it for a long time and said through gritted teeth.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile on his face: "You don't lose either, do you?" If you can win. ”
Twelve ships, each sold for 200,000 taels, not including the firearms on board, that is another price, if you want to configure the corresponding naval guns, the price will increase to 250,000 taels, the price of all twelve ships is 3 million silver, the value of all the plantations from the South China Sea to Malacca, is only 100,000 silver a year, even if it is calculated according to 100,000 silver, it will take 30 years to recover.
Isn't this a big loss?
Will Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty make a loss-making transaction? It is better to believe that the old sow will come to the tree, in fact, Daming will definitely not lose.
These plantations are in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, and the benefits that can be produced each year will far exceed the benefits in the hands of Hongmaofan.
Hongmao Fan came from afar, the local ruling population is sparse, each plantation, the speed of expansion is limited, even if it is a higher value crop, the plantation can not complete the expansion, it is a castle in the air, but in the hands of the Ming Dynasty, these plantations will return to their original cost in less than five years, and then it is a permanent income.
Antonio was still a little reluctant, and Li Ya touched Antonio without a trace.
"Well, Your Majesty, when will Your Majesty be able to bathe Your Majesty's grace?" Antonio was reminded of this, and then immediately smiled and asked when the twelve five-masted ships promised by His Majesty would be harvested.
Zhu Yijun saw that the deal was done, leaned back in his chair, and said with a smile on his face: "You can take it with you when you return to the sea, of course, if you don't have so many sailors, you can recruit in Songjiang Mansion, including boat masters." ”
"Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness and generosity, Your Supreme Majesty, Your Holy Grace will surely illuminate all the wild worlds and spread civilization to every corner of the world, Your Majesty firmly believes that day will come and will come." Antonio used exaggerated arias to praise the efficiency of the Ming Emperor!
Twelve five-masted ships, Da Ming can actually pay at one time, which is directly beyond Antonio's expectations!
The strength of Daming's productivity once again shocked Antonio, you must know that now Taixi's main battleship Galese battleship, each of which requires more than 300 craftsmen, is busy for a year, and needs to have sufficient supply of raw materials, but Daming can still export under the premise of satisfying his own use, which really shocked Antonio.
Zhu Yijun is a trader, integrity-based, all the warships he paid were brand new, not the emperor's own ninety-nine new, the reason is that the warships sold by the Ming Dynasty are all monkey versions, and the battleships sold by the Ming Dynasty are all reduced, whether it is tonnage, naval guns, ship speed, or deck thickness.
Antonio happily agreed under the reminder of Li Yashi, because Li Yashi and Antonio discussed a problem yesterday, that is, the Roman Church in Nagasaki was wiped out by the Ming advance team.
The ecclesiastical power in Nagasaki was wiped out by the Ming advance team.
Emperor Ming is a greedy, very bad temper and very methodical dragon, his eyes have long been looking at the plantation of thousands of miles of sea ponds, the dragon looks at the goods, will not escape the dragon's claws, with the passage of time, the Ming water division is becoming more and more powerful, these goods are the dragon pocket is a matter of time.
While there was still some money to sell, it was better to sell it earlier, this is what Antonio and Li Yashi thought.
Antonio was reminded by Li Yashi, and he completely figured it out, thinking about it from another angle, that is, to exchange the future wealth of the Ming Emperor for the actual warship of the present, and this transaction is not a loss.
Antonio and Li Yashi already know Da Ming's red hair very well, but they still think wrong, if things were so simple, Zhu Yijun would not need to go around such a big circle, Da Ming is extremely cautious about the use of force, and has its own high moral disadvantages, Da Ming is not Taixi Haikou, just rob when you see it, that is Taixi's thinking inertia, and it is natural to rob others.
Zhu Yijun bought the ownership of these plantations, that is, the division is famous, Qi Jiguang has mentioned the importance of being famous more than once when he talks about martial arts, the division is nameless, no matter how strong the soldiers are, there is only one end, that is, they will definitely lose.
Qi Jiguang even said to the little emperor with great certainty that the damage to the empire caused by the namelessness of the division far exceeded the defeat.
The use of violence but unable to convince the majority of the country's people, then it is doomed to failure, this has been proven countless times in history, now the Ming has a successful payment, if Antonio does not deliver, then the Ming will use force to pick up the goods.
The despicable, discredited, damned red-haired fan deceived the supreme Ming Emperor, took away the Ming Dynasty's twelve five-masted ships but didn't intend to give money, prostituting our Ming Emperor in vain, isn't it in the Ming Dynasty!
Many things, going around such a circle, can be long-term stability, and the business of this Nanyang plantation can be done for a long time.
"Envoy Li, may I ask you, is there anything else?" Zhu Yijun looked at Li Yashi with some curiosity, Antonio's audience was over, but Li Yashi did not leave.
Li Yashi bowed his head and said, "My monarch has sent a letter of state. ”
Zhu Yijun finished reading the national letter, it was actually a rare bilingual national letter in Latin and Chinese, although this Chinese was very lame, and even the sentences were not smooth, but the content was still clearly expressed.
Felipe II in the letter of state, first congratulated the Ming Emperor on the wedding, apparently last year Li Yashi to Tessy in the information, there are Ming Emperor activities arrangements, and then Felipe II began to pour bitter water, the damned Diao people in the Netherlands did not obediently stick out their necks to cut him, actually dared to rebel, and there is a trend of the general trend, Felipe II analyzed the reason for the defeat is that the navy is still not strong enough, although the invincible armada, but far from being strong enough to face the threat of the Ottomans and England at the same time.
The Spanish court believed that these damned Englishmen, those pirates who had been harassing the fleets bound for the Netherlands, were the main reason for the defeat.
Felipe II also wanted to buy a ship, and he asked in his letter if he could place a batch of orders, and while paying in full, the Ming Emperor could also put forward some conditions, such as part of the jurisdiction of Mindanao.
Mindanao is Spain's last stronghold in the Far East, and Felipe certainly refuses to give it up, but he can return most of the area to Daming, leaving a port to maintain communication between the East and the West.
"Captain, do you know that Felipe II is going to buy a ship?" Zhu Yijun asked Antonio with curiosity.
Antonio's face changed, and he bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is a businessman, but his conduct is not bad, otherwise the minister is not qualified to come to the Palace of Culture to meet Your Majesty, Felipe II's letter of state, the minister did not open it." ”
"Within five years, he needs fifty-two ships, and he can place a deposit of thirty percent first, and pay sixty percent of the final payment next year, after the ship arrives in Taixi, the number of departures will be calculated, and the final payment will be paid off, Felipe bluntly said that he does not want to lose the opportunity to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty, so he will definitely fulfill his promise." Zhu Yijun said very calmly.
Wang Chonggu and Wan Shihe glanced at each other, they both smiled at each other, they both guessed correctly, Antonio could hardly be Felipe II's opponent, Felipe II opened his mouth to fifty-two boats, and they were paid in full, not with a loan from the emperor to buy.
The fleet led by Antonio, the owner of which was Felipe II, was trading with the Spanish royal family from beginning to end, not with Antonio, the captain.
Zhu Di, the king of Yan, can be the emperor, which is also the only existence in the long history of the Central Plains Dynasty.
Antonio racked his brains for twelve ships, even to the point of selling his foundations, while Felipe II was able to place an order for fifty-two ships at a time without pressure.
That's the wealth of money.
"How much?" Antonio asked incredulously.
"Fifty-two, thirteen million taels of silver, ninety percent will be paid in two years, he thinks that as the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he will not joke with his reputation." Zhu Yijun repeated it again and said: "I will agree, because it is profitable, I hope the captain can understand this fact, and I don't want to deceive the captain." ”
"Thank you Your Majesty for your sincerity, and I can't thank you enough." Of course, Antonio knew that his weight was not enough for Daming to help him without doing business, and Daming was selling arms, which Antonio knew very well in his heart.
Zhu Yijun ended this meeting, and after the two of them left Daming with a heavy heart, Zhu Yijun looked at the national book in his hand, with a smile on his face, he said happily: "Da Situ!" A big order of 16 million silver! Oh, such a big order, it's not easy, some time ago, there was a superintendent of the imperial history and said that I was building a lot of buildings, and this shipyard was desperate, didn't this order come? ”
"Congratulations to Daming, congratulations to Your Majesty!" Wang Guoguang came out of class, and he also said with a beaming face.
Wan Shihe came out of the class to salute, stood up straight and said: "The king of Spain has placed an order for fifty-two ships, so we must find a way to inquire about the opinion of the Queen of England of Tessie." ”
"Huh?"
As soon as Wan Shihe's words came out, the courtiers subconsciously took a step away, looking at Wan Shihe's eyes, all of them were scrutinizing, and their eyes were full of uncertainty and doubt, this Wan Shihe was simply simple! Anytime, it's a bad idea to get out of the house!
Don't call it Wanshihe, just change the name to a bad stomach!
"Can't you?" Wan Shihe looked left and right.
"Yes, absolutely." Wang Chonggu hurriedly came out to play a round and said with a smile: "Wan Dazai is really talented, we admire it." ”
"In fact, you can add the resistance in the Netherlands." Zhu Yijun thought about it and made a supplement.
Felipe II's biggest headache now is the Netherlands, if it is not for the lack of navigation, Zhu Yijun will sell the five-masted ship to the Ottomans, Felipe II needs to order more ships, then England, France, the Netherlands, and the Ottomans also have to order more ships, which forms a virtuous circle.
Wan Shihe's idea is to make a lot of war money, and Zhu Yijun agrees with this very much, if he doesn't make war money at this time, will he regret it after the situation is stable?
The King of Spain had ordered fifty-two ships with a lot of money, so if the Queen of England did not order them equally, wouldn't she be defeated? Once defeated, King Felipe II of Spain will snatch Queen Elizabeth of England as his wife!
England had no money, no colonies, but it had a lot of other things to exchange.
"Your Majesty." When Wan Shihe heard this, he sighed again, in terms of the ability to do business and accumulate profits, 10,000 Wan Shihe is not comparable to His Majesty.
"Okay, let's start the court discussion." Zhu Yijun stroked the national book again, where is this paper, it is clearly white silver!
Thinking of this, the young Tianzi showed a sunny smile, this smile was sincere and heartfelt.
Wang Chonggu is very familiar with this smile, which is simply the smile of a wealth fan.
"Your Majesty, you haven't met with Buyan, the eldest son of Tuman Khan." Ma Ziqiang went out of work to remind His Majesty that after Antonio today, there is still Buyan to meet, and Buyan is already the second time to meet, and he is a representative of the moderate faction in the barbarian tribes.
"Oh, oh, look at it, I'm so happy, I'll forget it, Xuan." Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that he had made a mistake in his work.
He was so happy that he forgot about Buyan.
The joys and sorrows of human beings are not connected, especially at this moment, waiting outside the palace, Buyan, his heart is heavy, he looks at the rising sun, thinking about where the road of the barbarian tribes is, there seems to be no way out, but with the idea of surrendering, he suddenly brightened up, which made Buyan Khan have mixed feelings.
After Buyan entered the hall, he felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, the solemn place of the Wenhua Hall was actually full of joyful atmosphere, and even the officials who did not smile on weekdays were smiling.
The order worth 16 million silver, even if it is divided into five years, exceeds 3.2 million silver per year, and even if this money is retained in Songjiang Shipyard, the Ming national treasury and the internal treasury also have more than 2 million silver per year.
That is to say, Daming's finances are further improving, and you must know that after the conversion of Daming's annual military expenditure, it is only 10 million silver.
With the huge inflow of funds, the Ming Dynasty will have more room to deal with domestic contradictions, and there is no need to brag too hastily, causing the contradictions to intensify to the point of uncontrollable.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Buyan bowed five times and bowed three times.
Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said with a smile: "No courtesy, no courtesy." ”
"Your Majesty, the foreign envoy Buyan, there is a letter of state from the Mongol suzerain, the Great Khan, and I beg Your Majesty to read it." Buyan got up, still very deferential.
Zhu Yijun opened the national letter and read it for a long time, then shook his head and said: "Tumen, your father still didn't understand where he lost, so he wrote such a national letter." ”
"Father has surrendered." Buyan said in amazement, Buyan had already read the national letter of the Tuman Khan, but the Ming Emperor still didn't seem to be satisfied.
"Did he surrender?" Zhu Yijun grabbed the national letter and lifted it up, pointed to the national letter and said: "He said in the national letter, please canonize Daming as the king, is this a surrender?" Do you know that Altan Khan has been fighting with the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years, winning more and losing less, before he changed to a prince, you are the king of the Ming Dynasty is a crop in the soil, do you want to have it? ”
"Is this a surrender?"
"I came to ask you, in the first year of Longqing, the Tuban Khan entered Kou Daming, is it also under the guise of the Ming Dynasty to give me the title of king, and your right wing will also be canonized, and if you don't give it, you will enter Kou Jinggi?"
"In the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing, your grandfather Kuden Khan and Altan Khan stole horses and had a vendetta, your grandfather couldn't beat Altan Khan, and he was afraid of being merged, so he moved east to the east of Daxianbei Mountain, when Taining, Fuyu and other departments asked for help from the Ming Dynasty, Daming never sent troops, and promised your grandfather to hunt in the east of Daxianbei Mountain, and your grandfather swore by Changshengtian that the left wing would never offend."
"What your grandfather said, you won't count it when you get to your father, right? Then these words that your father said, when it comes to you, don't you don't count them?! ”
Buyan had nothing to say, Buyan's grandfather, the father of the Tuban Khan, Kuden Khan, and Altan Khan couldn't beat him a few times, so he ran to the east of Daxianbei Mountain.
Kuden Khan's oath to immortality is like a fart, and now, the conditions put forward by the barbarian Khan are not surrender at all.
Do you still want a king? Pipe dream!
"Da Ming is aiming to open the sea at the moment, the grassland is barren and bitter cold, and too much attachment to the grassland may not be conducive to Da Ming." Buyan persuaded the Ming Emperor from the perspective of the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a book." When Zhang Xueyan heard this, he immediately went out of class and bowed his head and said: "This is ridiculous! My Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, abundant products, open the sea, Daming naturally has to do, this Northern Expedition, Daming can also have, Daming is completely able to stand up, Your Majesty, sea and land at the same time, Fang is walking on two legs. ”
On more than one occasion, the household department has proposed that both land and sea should be carried out, and the main focus is a two-front battle, and the two fronts focus on the way of thinking.
Wan Shihe bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Zhang Shangshu said is reasonable, during the Yongle period, the Ming Dynasty official ship sea trade, the profit is quite thick, and it is also used in the Northern Expedition, both sea and land, and it is also the law of the ancestors. ”
Ma Ziqiang looked at Wan Shihe, and didn't know what to say for a while, what happened to Wan Shihe's mouth, it could be interpreted as the ancestral law, and it was very reasonable!
The Ministry of Household proposed to promote both land and sea, and the Ministry of Rites to follow up, in fact, there is a theoretical basis, not simply to please the emperor and satisfy the emperor's nature of great joy, but to discuss distribution.
The Ming Dynasty has seen the terrible harm caused by the silver dam, since there is a dam, there must be a day when the embankment will burst, once the embankment bursts, it will affect the rivers and mountains, how to regulate the silver?
Paying military salaries is a good way to do this.
Not only the military salary, but also investment, investment in Taotu Mountain white soil, investment in Daningwei Huiningwei animal husbandry, investment in Rehe Junbao, investment in wool official factory, investment in the coal bureau, are all ways to find ways to flow silver into places where silver is scarce.
Silver will always flow to the place where there is no shortage of silver, in the new situation of a large inflow of silver, how to ensure the healthy and orderly development of the Ming economy, is the most difficult problem faced by the household, sea and land, is the way that the household thinks.
Wan Shi and other skills are not available, to make up for His Majesty, there is still the ability to sprinkle water and wash the floor, and it is very big!
Wan Shihe's words are very reasonable, and they cannot be refuted at all.
Zhu Yijun looked at Buyan and thought for a while and said: "If the Tuman Khan wants to surrender, he will surrender quickly, if he doesn't want to surrender, let's continue to fight, until the time when the Tuman Khan doesn't want to fight at all, there is no place for you in the east, there is there in the west, Altan Khan is blocked in the west, and the right wing is now very contradictory, do you guess they will attack the Ming or your left flank?" ”
"You know, the left wing likes to resort to force and transfer the contradiction to war, and they have long formed this inertia, and when they are undecided, they go out to plunder and conquer."
Altan Khan is very warlike, and Altan Khan is really able to fight, Altan Khan's life record, whether it is against the Ming Dynasty or against Warat, the south and the north to fight, there are few defeats, Jiajing Longqing years, in the hands of Ma Fang suffered a loss, this time Altan Khan attacked Yingchang, but also Ma Fang Ma Wang Ye is responsible for attacking Altan Khan's two 10,000 team direction.
When Altan Khan used force against the Ming Dynasty, there were many resistances, internal contradictions were fierce, and Altan Khan's personal prestige was seriously challenged, Altan Khan himself would definitely choose war, and the object of war, the left wing of the barbarian Khan, who had been defeated in successive battles, was a goal that could not be better.
Sincerity is the biggest nirvana, Zhu Yijun's speech has always been clear, as an emperor, if his statement is vague, it will bring great trouble.
"Your Majesty is wise." Buyan bowed his head a little helplessly and said.
The emperor's every word is the truth, every sentence is piercing people's hearts and lungs, compared to the Ming who has just used force and needs to rest, Altan Khan is even more burning eyebrows, close at hand.
"Actually, I have a good idea, you are relatives on the left and right wings, what to fight, just merge the stream." Zhu Yijun said very calmly.
Wang Chonggu's face was serious, and he held back a smile vigorously, he looked at Lu Tiaoyang, the first assistant Lu Tiaoyang also had a flat face, but the corners of his mouth kept twitching, it was obvious that Lu Tiaoyang heard the problem of this, and the little emperor had bad water in his stomach.
Many times, 1+1 is less than 1, why did the left and right wings fall out in the first place, and the barbarian Khan and his father would rather move eastward than merge? The left and right really converge, and it is time for the Ming Dynasty to attack, because there will definitely be infighting at that time.
But this is weird here, even if Buyan sees through the tricks of the Ming Emperor, as far as the current situation is concerned, the best solution to the Tuban Khan is to merge, even if it is difficult, it is much better than being completely killed.
Easier said than done.
For example, if the left and right wings converge, who will be the khan and who will be the jinong (another name for the vice-king or vice-khan)? Just this one question, the dog's brain can be typed.
Buyan didn't get a clear reply from the emperor, he left the cultural hall in despair, and when he walked out, he was restless, and he didn't pay attention to the steps and fell down, and he fell to the ground while rolling.
After Zhu Yijun heard that Buyan fell, he looked at the courtiers and said: "The Tuban Khan is actually still holding the frame of his suzerain, the Great Khan, and he refuses to bow to Altan Khan, after all, for a long time, the Tuban Khan has said that Altan Khan is a traitor to the grassland, what is the matter with this suzerain, the Great Khan bows his head to the traitor?" Here, I refused to bow my head to Daming, and I always felt that when Daming was weak, I entered Kou Gyeonggi, and now I bow down and say that my face is not there. ”
"Da Ming Zhenwu, he can't beat it, he has been hammered so many times, and he is still holding a shelf, crowned the king? Or beaten less. ”
"Your Majesty." When the courtiers saw that His Majesty had finished speaking, they said in unison.
The subjects of the Tuman Khan have begun to surrender, and tens of thousands of people have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and the Tuban Khan himself has just supported it.
"Leave him alone." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "Today's court discussion, let's start." ”
After Lu Tiaoyang sat down, he took out a book and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a book." ”
Lu Tiaoyang, who has always disliked expressing opinions, suddenly took out a notebook, and did not let the little ghost explore the way, Lu Tiaoyang went directly to it, which was obviously a big deal.
The content of Lu Tiaoyang's book is about how to manage His Majesty's investment of 20.7 million silver.
Who else dares to hack the emperor's money? Don't want to die?
Yes, and a lot.
Man dies for money, and birds die for food.
