Chapter 320: Why Did Your Majesty Rebel?
Zhu Yijun has been calculating the account books of the Confucian Mansion, and after reading it, he can also understand why the descendants of the Confucian Mansion want to go to sea to find money, because they are poor.
The Confucian Mansion that copied out 3.7 million taels of silver and 40,000 hectares of land was copied out because of poverty, and it was very contradictory for such a reason, but this is the reality, the contradiction is universal, and the Confucian Mansion, which has such an industry, actually went to sea for money.
The Confucian Mansion has a lot of income and a lot of expenses, and it has begun to make ends meet over the years.
The Yanzhou Confucian Mansion is not counted as a collateral lineage, and there are a total of 527 people including the family servants.
The monthly money of each month is nearly 10,000 taels of silver.
Kong Shangxian's mother, Kong Shangxian himself, Kong Shangxian's two brothers, and his brother-in-law, the monthly money is 20 taels of silver; After that, there are all kinds of daughters-in-law, and the daughters-in-law of these families have a monthly income of 4 taels a month; And such as Kong Yinsong, Kong Yinlin, and other sons and daughters of the son-in-law, these monthly money is 2 taels a month, and there are about seven people who are girls and young masters who come from luxury families in other places, and they live in Confucius Mansion for a long time, as long as they live in Confucius's mansion, they are 2 taels of silver a month.
Luxury households like Kong Shangxian, the entire Shandong ground, just this one, on weekdays, there is not even a person of the same class to speak, so other luxury families will go to other homes to play, this kind of play, is not returned for several years, this kind of boarding worship is very common in the wealthy.
And the sons and girls of the sons, in addition to the 2 taels of money a month, the men have 8 taels of silver every month to eat snacks, buy paper and pencils, visit temple fairs, and go to classmates, while the women have 2 taels of silver every month to buy rouge gouache and other things.
When it comes to grandchildren, because of the next generation, it is five taels of silver a month.
Young masters, girls have their own maids, usually, there will be two aunts, a first-class maid, four second-class maids, eight third-class maids, according to the previous rules of Confucius, aunts, first-class maids, young masters and girls are not usable, but this rule has long been broken, this kind of maids are usually the young masters' maids, the girls' dowry maids, are intimate people.
The aunts are not outer rooms, not concubines, they are old mothers who serve people, 2 taels a month, first-class maids, 1 taels a month, second-class maids are five coins of silver, and third-class maids are three coins of silver.
There is also a 'family', the family is the servants of the luxury household in order to circumvent the ban on slavery of the Ming Dynasty, these families are the basic unit that the luxury household can maintain its operation, for example, this account room has a total of three rooms, a silver treasury, a purchase, an account room, three gentlemen are four taels of silver a month, and there are some subordinates who are called, and the levels are different.
The Ming Jingjun worked hard outside, only eighteen taels of silver a year, even if the emperor continued to reward, at most twenty taels of silver a year, and only one or six taels a month, which was about equal to the first-class maid of the Confucian family.
Food, clothing, and all kinds of money are required, and this Confucian Mansion does not do any major weddings and funerals a year, and it takes more than 100,000 taels of silver a year to maintain.
The Confucian Mansion has 40,000 hectares of land, and the annual rent in kind and money can be purchased every year, and after the discount in kind, it will exceed 500,000 silver, but the Confucian Mansion still can't make ends meet.
These masters, all of them are not fuel-efficient lamps, each family plays their own abacus, when the comprador buys, the price is slightly higher, this accounting gentleman tacitly calculates, the head of the bank takes the money when he sees the note, and the silver goes out, this window is broken today, and the tile is dropped tomorrow, which can be described as the eight immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers.
This bookkeeper will never dare to sue, if you sue, all the masters are family members, at most scolded, the next people sue the master, and if they are beaten to death, they will find a mass grave and bury it, if they don't sue, everyone will get rich together, isn't it beautiful.
Therefore, the masters of the Confucian Mansion did not spend a single amount of money that month, and there was a deficit between the income and expenditure of the Confucian Mansion.
The big collective of the Confucian Mansion is losing money, but the masters are fat.
Kong Shangxian, as the head of the Confucian Mansion, has no choice, he doesn't even have a son and daughter, who does he move, who doesn't kick his nose in the face? There are two ways to find money, this merger is a way, and it is also a way to go out to find money.
The account books of the Confucian Mansion are particularly chaotic when they arrive at Kong Shangxian, and the biggest deficit comes from corruption in the mansion.
Ling Yunyi has been taking accounts for the Confucian Mansion this month, and has found several other huge expenditures of the Confucian Mansion, which are all big holes.
The first is to raise a ringing horse, this Shandong ringing horse, the largest ringing horse village, are raised by Confucius, this one will get more than 10,000 taels a month, with the intensification of the merger, this ringing horse is more and more, and the expenditure is getting bigger and bigger; The second is to die to save face, this is the New Year's holiday, you have to support the reward, all kinds of arts into the house performance, the people in each house and each courtyard, all have to receive the reward, just this one expenditure, a year and more than 100,000, the third is to borrow money, Confucius borrowed money.
Confucius raised seventy-two lackeys on the ground in Shandong, and each of these lackeys liked to come to Confucius to pay respects, pour bitter water, and always get some silver, and these silver, from the first year of Wanli to the sixth year of Wanli, there were more than 500,000 silver.
What made Ling Yunyi particularly annoyed was the account book of this Confucian Mansion, not the method of keeping accounts in six volumes and one account, the record was a mess, and after sorting it out, Ling Yunyi's account book was matched with the six books and one account of this Confucian Mansion and escorted into Beijing.
In the first year of Wanli, the account book of the palace was actually as sparse as the Confucian Mansion, and it took a few years for the expenditure in the palace to drop from more than one million silver a year to more than 500,000 silver a year.
As a comparison, when Zhang Juzheng was still in Jingtang, the entire Quanchu Hall spent only more than 1,000 taels a year.
Most of the courtiers recognized it very much, the emperor's slamming of the door was learned from Zhang Juzheng, and Zhang Juzheng himself was also very thrifty, and even the decoration accounts of the Quanchu Guild Hall, Zhang Juzheng had to see it in person.
When I arrived at Yicheng Bofu, there were many people and more expenses, and it was only 1,500 taels of silver a year.
The expenditure of the Confucian Mansion for one year is enough for Zhang Juzheng to operate the Chu Guild Hall stably for four hundred and sixteen years.
Qi Jiguang led the Ming Jing army to return to the dynasty, and the defense was handed over to the Ming guards, and the guards of Miyun Town and Jizhen began to defend the border to the north, and the Daning Guard moved to defend Huiningwei, and Yingchang Mansion was also in the Huiningwei co-defense area, and all the defense affairs were handed over in an orderly manner.
Tuman Khan and Altan Khan both breathed a sigh of relief, and the invincible Qi Jiguang finally left the grassland, and this killing star can be regarded as gone!
The attributes of the Ming border army determined that the border army did not have the ability to conquer, and Qi Jiguang's triumph represented the end of the Ming attack.
But what about next time?
Qi Jiguang's Beijing army passed the Gubeikou very smoothly, the terrain of the Gubeikou is extremely dangerous, Qi Jiguang stood on the pass of the Gubeikou, from a purely military point of view, to break through this pass, it is really difficult to reach the sky, but Altan Khan is in the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, from this unbreakable pass, into the Jinggi of the Ming Dynasty, Dong Fox in Wanli three years, killed the Miyun general soldier Tang Kekuan here.
The solidity of mountains and rivers is not in danger in Germany.
This was originally a very correct sentence, the Ming court did not give military salaries, long-term arrears, even if it was not given silver, rations, it could also hold the pass, but the stubborn arrears were owed to the point where the soldiers could not make a living.
But just such a sentence has become a footnote to Xiu Wende and Rouyuan people, if he doesn't give food to the soldiers, he will Rouyuan people, and if he has a good relationship with Yuanren, Yuanren will not come to attack.
This kind of strange logic did exist in ancient times, and it is a kind of public opinion that must be correct.
Practice has proved that the virtue of mountains and rivers is martial virtue, not literary virtue.
"Mr. Chen, once, His Majesty and I talked about Yue Fei's death." Qi Jiguang stood at the entrance of Gubei, letting the scorching summer sun scorch, looking at the winding mountain road with a smile, and now it was full of vitality and everything was competing.
Qi Jiguang helped the pass to the wall, looked at the outside of the pass, and continued: "Yue Shaobao's fourth northern expedition, all the way north, hit the Jin country and lost his armor, and hit the Jin country's Wanyan Zongbi escaped the Yellow River, and then restored the momentum of the Great Song Dynasty, and then received twelve golden plates to expedite the edict, so that Yue Shaobao's class teacher, ten years of work, was wasted in one fell swoop, the class teacher returned to the dynasty to the Yangtze River, looked up to the sky and lamented, and the counties were all closed! It is difficult to prosper! The world of Qiankun has no reason to recover! ”
Qi Jiguang actually had this kind of worry, the last time he attacked Daningwei, he was afraid that he would be the last time to fight out of the fortress, and planned to take a military risk to attack Huiningwei, and he would still be impeached by the officials.
And this time, he was in a very good mood, and he didn't have this kind of concern at all, because Daming's plan to reset had already begun to be implemented, and Daming still had to attack.
And Qi Jiguang completed his second Northern Expedition, in fact, he was already very satisfied, even if for various reasons, the Ming Dynasty no longer went on the Northern Expedition, and the recovery of Hetao became nothing, he was enough to be blind.
Eleven years, Qi Jiguang has seen the situation in Liaodong very thoroughly, once the north and the east are combined, it will become a big trouble for the Ming Dynasty, and now a big Xianbei mountain road is blocked in the middle, and there will be no more chance.
Your Majesty is a stingy person, and what you eat is never willing to spit out, as long as Your Majesty is still in its prime, the Great Xianbei Mountain Road is indestructible.
"At that time, there was a minister Qin Hui in the court, and now there is a minister Wang Chonggu." Tan Lun also said with a little worry, Wang Chonggu is definitely not a virtuous minister, let alone a good minister, and even meets the definition of a traitorous minister.
This triumph made Tan Lun worried.
Qi Jiguang shook his head and said: "I can only take one step at a time, and now the Duke of Jiangling is worried after all, and he is not in the court." ”
"Qi Shuai, Your Majesty's edict has arrived." Chen Dacheng reminded Qi Jiguang that it was time to face the ups and downs of the imperial court.
As soon as he entered the customs, the ferocity on Qi Shuai's body disappeared without a trace and became modest.
Zhu Yijun's holy decree required Qi Jiguang to lead the Beijing battalion to garrison Miyun Town, and after Qi Shuai returned to Beijing, the army returned to Beidaying.
Tan Lun was one step ahead of Qi Jiguang and had already returned to Beijing, and the emperor gave each person an additional reward of two taels of silver to reward the expeditionary army, which was an additional reward in addition to the meritorious reward.
After Yue Fei was forcibly recalled in the Fourth Northern Expedition, he returned to Lin'an, no longer made generous statements, and repeatedly played a request to Zhishi, relieve military affairs, and return to the field.
Compared with the greater Song Dynasty's fear of the martial arts, the Ming Dynasty is much better, after Qi Jiguang led the troops into the customs, he was stationed in Miyunwei, and the reason given by the imperial court was also high-sounding, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty kept his promise, and decided to pay all the promised rewards in Miyunwei as soon as the army entered the customs, and there was no arrears.
It is true that the old men of Jingtang are worried about what kind of yellow robe drama will appear when the army returns to the dynasty, but the old men of Jingtang still found a reason, and it is enough for everyone to get by on face.
Now the old men in Jingtang still find a reason to some extent, in the past, Wang Ji killed the generals, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said that he had been edicted.
The emperor's edict was to return to Beijing after the reward was issued, and the court hoped that Qi Jiguang would return to Beijing immediately.
The emperor's meaning is very clear, if you don't give the reward in place, then arm to ask for the reward!
The reward is that the Ming soldiers fought out on the battlefield with their heads, and they must not be greedy!
Qi Jiguang chose to obey the emperor's edict and stayed in Miyunwei for another three days, until all the rewards were distributed and it was confirmed that it was correct, and then he wrote a letter and prepared to return to Beijing.
"Qi Shuai! You! Chen Dacheng looked at Qi Jiguang in horror, and said in a daze: "Do you want to be a scholar?" Ma Wangye is more than ten years older than Qi Shuai, isn't he still leading troops to fight? Qi Shuai can't be said to be injured, but I look at it, the arrows of the earth barbarian sweat can't shoot through the iron armor. ”
Qi Jiguang sealed the music and said with a smile: "Those who are powerful are destroyed, and those who are highly merit are destroyed, I continue to lead the troops to make His Majesty embarrassed." ”
"Not by all!" Ma Fang happened to have something to do with Qi Jiguang, and he heard Qi Jiguang and Chen Dacheng talking outside the tent, so he walked in directly, and said very confidently: "Your Majesty will not be embarrassed." ”
Ma Fang is very envious of Qi Jiguang, Qi Jiguang can't feel the pressure from Zhang Juzheng and the emperor, so when thinking about problems, he always sets some old templates.
"I'm just afraid of the noise of the officials." Qi Jiguang was still a little worried.
Ma Fang thinks no, the current officials in Jingtang have long figured out the emperor's taboo, and military affairs are the emperor's counterscales, and they must not be touched.
Ma Fang actually knew what Qi Jiguang was worried about, and he said with a smile: "As for Wang Cifu, give him a hundred tiger guts, he doesn't dare." ”
Ma Fang's estimate is correct, the official of Daming Jingtang is already very clear about His Majesty the Emperor's temper, this military matter, at least when Qi Jiguang is still there, this is a field that cannot be touched.
As for Wang Chonggu, he is indeed a villain, but isn't what villains are best at judging the situation? Zhang Juzheng is alive, Qi Jiguang is alive, jumping at this time, isn't that forcing the emperor to launch the technique of splitting the nine clans?
Qi Jiguang set off, went to Jingtang, traveled to Beidaying, Beitu City, and received the first holy decree, the content of which was to enter Qi Jiguang and move to Anhou, which was officially announced and had been determined before; When I went to Deshengmen, I received the emperor's second holy decree, which was the emperor's condolence edict, that is, the long journey was extremely hard, and the glory and glory of the war for the country.
When Qi Jiguang arrived at the noon gate, he looked at the crowd in front of the noon gate, and was a little puzzled, and soon, he received the third holy decree, and the emperor asked Qi Jiguang to enter the palace from the Xihua gate, board the noon gate, and watch the punishment together.
What kind of punishment is it?
The emperor is going to kill someone today, and the execution table has been set up, so he sent Qi Jiguang to watch the execution.
Qi Jiguang walked to the city gate building with a stunned face, only to know who the emperor was going to kill, the luxury households on the ground in Shandong, headed by the Confucian Mansion, seventy-two lackeys, and their minions, and a group of would-be robbers would be sent to the Jieyuan Courtyard.
"Qi Shuai!" Zhu Yijun saw Qi Jiguang walking up step by step, and stood up suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Qi Jiguang hurriedly saluted, but he didn't kneel, he was supported by the emperor, he wanted to kneel and the emperor wanted to help, Qi Jiguang found that the emperor's strength was a little bigger, and he was afraid of being less strong, His Majesty was already the first master of the youth group, and Qi Jiguang was already gray.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "No need to be formal. ”
"Watching the ceremony, watching the ceremony." Zhu Yijun led Qi Jiguang to the best place to observe the punishment in the city gate building, and said to Qi Jiguang about the sins of the Confucian Mansion and the reason why the Confucian Mansion must be punished.
Ma Fang is right, the officials will never touch His Majesty's mold, Wang Chonggu did not feel that his nine clans were tired of being alive, the Ming Shuntian Mansion is now the absolutely loyal Shuntian Mansion!
"The Kong Yinsong who went to work as a military advisor for the Shimazu family, I plan to send him to the Jie Yuan with the Wako, which has been researching a new medicine recently, and it has to be used by a lot of people." Zhu Yijun explained to Qi Jiguang the fate of the prisoners captured by Chen Luan.
"What new medicine?" Qi Jiguang asked curiously.
"Aged mustard stew for inflammation." Zhu Yijun enthusiastically explained the latest invention of the Jie Ji Institute, Chen mustard stew, which is penicillin.
"Li Shizhen went to Tianning Temple in Changzhou, and saw that there were many huge jars in Tianning Temple, and there were mustard greens in the jars, which were exposed to the sun and dew at night, so that the mustard sprouts were mildew, and green mold grew out, up to three or four inches, that is, penicillium, after being buried in the ground, it was taken after three or five years, and even the mold turned into water, and it could be used."
Chen mustard stew, which is the penicillin of later generations, is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, and the Chen mustard stew of Tianning Temple can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty at the earliest.
Qi Jiguang said suspiciously: "It's moldy, it will take three or five years, isn't there nothing?" ”
Zhu Yijun said with great certainty: "That's right, the big doctors also think so, so naturally they want to study this thing, and they took penicillium from Tianning Temple, and found that it doesn't have to be mustard, and the paste of rice, flour, taro, potatoes, and sweet potatoes can also grow this kind of penicillium, and it will take shape in about a week." ”
"On the other side, charcoal is burned, which is to put charcoal in an iron pot until it does not smoke at all, and grind the charcoal into powder for later use."
"Filter it out with twenty-seven layers of cotton cloth, stir it with rapeseed oil, and after standing, scoop out the oil and half of the water in the upper layer, and the remaining water is dried with toner, washed with water, and then filtered with a cotton cloth funnel, and so on, and you get the old brine."
The whole process is to shorten the preparation process of this aged mustard stew, which took several years to complete step by step.
"It's so complicated, can people use this medicine?" Qi Jiguang asked with doubts, ten generals and nine doctors, the sword on this battlefield is not long-eyed, and it is very common to be injured and sick, Chen Halo is very easy to understand, but is this thing really useful?
Zhu Yijun said with feeling: "If you don't say that there is a shortage of people in the hospital recently, isn't it because of this Chen brine?" This widow is in a group of five, there is no rash under the skin, so he makes some incisions on the body, so that the wound is inflamed, and the brine is applied internally and externally. ”
The experiments of the chief medical officer of the Jie Yuan were very rigorous, first on rabbits, then rats, then monkeys, and finally Japanese people, but even if they were so rigorous, the materials in the Jie Yuan were a little insufficient.
The question of dosage is a matter of long-term practice.
If you pass away in the process of testing the drug, it will be cut into thousands of cross-sections and put into resin, which is a thousand years of incorruptibility.
Zhang Siwei died, he didn't get through, he had a high fever after the inflammation, the inflammation went down, but the person was still gone, Zhang Siwei burned himself and sent the last light, illuminating the way to the progress of medicine in the Ming Dynasty.
How did Zhang Siwei die, Chen Shigong of the Xie Yuan gave the answer, because Zhang Siwei's internal and external application of Chen brine has a little yellow mold, after a lot of practice, it is found that the brine of yellow mold is ten times more toxic than the poison of Zhoushan poisonous snakes, and the yellow mold brine only needs one-tenth of the dose to kill mice of the same weight.
Zhang Siwei still died of poison, he didn't die of arsenic at the beginning, he died of xanthella, penicillium brine is a good medicine to save people, and xanthrospira is a poison that seals the throat when seeing blood, good medicine and poison can be so similar, it really makes the great doctors of the hospital feel very deeply.
Zhu Yijun and Qi Jiguang explained the specific use of penicillium halogen, and the most difficult thing for this thing is mass production.
The original penicillin penicillium halogen is very strong, and the most important thing is that this thing can be recycled and reused through urine, of course, how to come to such a conclusion is naturally due to all kinds of strange practices in the Solution.
Beheading began.
The court officials looked at the Kong family on the torture platform with affection, His Majesty the Emperor, after all, he still did it, in fact, before setting up the execution platform, the courtiers still had some illusions, the Ming Emperor could take care of face, even if he was not lenient, he could give dignity and order suicide.
But the Ming Emperor did not choose decency, but chose to behead the public.
Kong Shangxian has been unkempt, as time goes by, Kong Shangxian did not wait for the emperor to throw a mouse bogey and did not dare to do anything to him, nor did he wait for the Confucian students in the world to run for their family to intercede, but what he waited for was a severed head meal, the Ming Emperor was very generous according to the two taels of silver table, and bought a dead-headed meal for people, so that they could be a full ghost on the road.
After Wang Chonggu, the secretary of the criminal department, read out the crime of a criminal offender, he asked the emperor to order the execution, and a sound of 'take it' sounded in front of the noon gate, and a total of more than 500 Ding inside and outside the Confucian Mansion died under the bone crowing knife, and the head was chopped off by the guillotine, and the dead could not die anymore.
Coincidentally, Kong Shangxian's head was taken by a wild dog, and in the last consciousness, Kong Shangxian couldn't figure out why the emperor wanted to kill him, he was a descendant of Confucius.
Zhu Yijun looked at the people watching the execution, before the criminals who were going to be escorted to the hospital, there was still no one, as if there was something dirty there, he said a little distractedly: "Qi Shuai, Mr. said that the existence of the dynasty is the difference between public and private, and it is caused by contradictions. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't understand this." Qi Jiguang has a very in-depth study of contradictions, after all, contradictions are all ordnance, although Qi Jiguang understands many truths, but what His Majesty and Zhang Juzheng are discussing is not within the scope of Qi Jiguang's understanding.
Zhu Yijun still explained the meaning of this sentence to Qi Jiguang.
The difference between public and private, that is, under the largest public of the Ming Dynasty, there are all kinds of private at all levels, compared with the public of the national dynasty, each collective is private, and between the collectives, there will be all kinds of contradictions, so when the contradictions intensify to the point that the small collectives cannot adjust themselves, in order not to end up with each other, it is necessary to have a force above the collectives to regulate this contradiction, which is the reason for the existence of the national dynasty.
The theory of contradiction is a set of studies that can explain the legal system, the existence of the country, and the significance of the country.
There must be contradictions between the various collectives in society, and the contradictions have intensified to the point of irreconcilability, and it is necessary to regulate a force that overrides the collectives, and it is the right of the state and the dynasty to override the other collectives, and it is the obligation of the state and the dynasty to find ways to adjust these contradictions.
According to the theory of contradictions, the Ming court failed to fulfill its obligations for a long time and failed to regulate the contradictions between various classes, which will eventually lead to a change of dynasty.
The Confucians are always discussing who should be blamed, and Huang Yuezhong, a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, wants to put all the blame on the emperor's head, and publicize his set of monarchs and ministers with different names and facts, and Zhang Ju is constantly filling in the content of the contradiction.
In the end, who is saving the world, there is no need to say much.
The reason why Zhu Yijun wanted to tell Qi Jiguang about this was that Qi Jiguang also understood.
The emperors of the Ming Dynasty, except for Emperor Xiaozong, all looked at Confucius unpleasantly, but they couldn't move, but the reason why the emperor dared to deal with Qufu Confucius was that the emperor didn't need Confucius as one of the supporters of imperial power.
The signboard of Confucianism is no longer easy to use.
The contradiction theory can even explain the legal system of the dynasty, why the dynasty exists and the significance of the dynasty, and with the passage of time, the Confucian set has gradually become unable to continue to regulate the contradiction as a political tool.
Kong Shangxian didn't understand, how could the Ming Emperor dare to deal with their Confucian Mansion? This question is, presumably, why did His Majesty rebel?
Confucius has lost its irreplaceability, and this is the answer.
Asking for a monthly pass, woo!!!!!!!!
