The conquest of Luchuan was a loss for the Ming Dynasty, because the soldiers of the Ming Beijing camp were not familiar with the rainforest operations, and when they arrived at the place, they suffered heavy losses, and it was very difficult to train a soldier in the Beijing camp.

The Daming Beijing Army is really very expensive, and the household department, the military department, and the internal eunuchs have calculated an account, and the military logistics of the Daming Beijing camp are consumed.

In the absence of conquest, each soldier ate six taels and eight yuan of rice per day, which was converted into six cents and five millimeters of silver according to the price of rice in Beijing; Eat mustard greens, leeks, lettuce, celery, etc., a total of eight taels a day, and the silver is one centimeter and four millimeters; three taels of soybeans, seven millimeters and five threads of silver; one tael of meat, one centimeter of silver; One tael of oil, one spoonful of salt, etc., a soldier just eats and buys a day, and it costs two cents and six cents and three millimeters.

There are a total of 100,000 people in the Ming Jing army, and they have to buy 2,630 taels of silver just for a day, and nearly one million silver a year.

This treatment is very good, in World War II, the US military, known as the young master soldier, eats so much every day.

This is just in Beijing, not a battle, and there are few tricks to eat in battle, but it is more expensive, even if it is a palm oil fried cake, the price of logistics transportation to the front line is extremely expensive.

The Ming Jingying spends nearly two million silver a year, such a huge expenditure, not counting the Ming Emperor's annual New Year's silver of one or two per person, not counting the emperor's reward for each battle.

The Ming Jingying is really very expensive, and to maintain such a treatment of 100,000 people, the Ming court needs to see the benefits, otherwise such a huge expenditure will make both inside and outside the court doubt whether there is a need to maintain such an army.

And the Daming Jingying is not beyond its means, nor is it worthless, and the re-establishment of the Beijing camp is just a Taotu Mountain in Daningwei, and it has already earned back all the investment, and even has a surplus.

Once the imperial court suffered a big financial loss and had to cut military spending, as soon as Xingwen Kuangwu opened, Ma released Nanshan, Wen Tian and Wu Xi, and the speed at which the Ming Dynasty slid downward, it was jaw-dropping.

Zhu Yijun was very concerned about the rise of the Donghu Dynasty in the Indochina Peninsula, but if he wanted to attack, he could only send the Beijing camp to it.

Attacking Luchuan and Donghu is a very difficult matter, there are so many places to spend money, if you don't repeatedly provoke, conquer the city, and even threaten the rule of the Ming Dynasty in Yunnan, there is no need for the Ming Dynasty to waste too much energy.

In fact, there was a voice in the court, saying that the Donghu Dynasty was the result of the self-respect of the Duke of Qianguo, and according to the relationship between the Jin Party and the Northern Emperor, it was not impossible to do so, but when Wang Xiyuan and Zhang Chucheng returned to Beijing to report on their work, they clearly and definitely stated that this was not the case.

"Your Majesty, the minister is in Yunnan, this Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guizhou, Sanxuan and Liuwei are completely different from the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also different from the Xuanfu Datong, there are all over the Tusi, and the Qianguo Mansion is too late, where can I still raise it?" Wang Xiyuan repeated his previous point of view.

Zhu Yijun smiled, he agreed with Wang Xiyuan and Zhang Chucheng's views.

Raise? Do you still need to raise it? That place is full of Kou, the level is not finished, and then raise Kou, the first thing to bear the brunt of is the Qianguo Mansion, without the support of the Ming Dynasty, the survival of the Qianguo Mansion is a problem, during the Wanli period, the Ming Tusi, the combat effectiveness is still extremely strong.

It turned out that Jingtang, which was thousands of miles away, had very little understanding of the local area, and did not have a clear understanding of the complex contradictions in the local area, so it was not advisable to apply the experience of the Beiyu and the Jin Party to the practice of the Qianguo Mansion and the Donghu Dynasty in a rigid and rigid manner.

Wang Xiyuan and Zhang Chucheng left the Huangji Gate, looking at the long line of foreign officials, they could only sigh that His Majesty was really diligent.

In previous years, when His Majesty received foreign officials, he simply met with the local governor, counting the people to be received, no more than fifteen people, and it would be over in half an hour at most.

This year, when receiving foreign officials, there was a long queue in front of the Huangji Gate, and all the foreign officials who returned to Beijing to report their posts had to meet them, and at the end of the line, there were border soldiers, potters, boatmen, woolen workers, and other hundreds of workers, all waiting for His Majesty's announcement.

This busy meal will take at least a whole day.

Zhu Yijun was happy to meet with foreign officials and people, and he set aside two days.

Zhang Juzheng restored this ancestral law, Zhu Yijun directly came to a super double, subjects from all walks of life, Zhu Yijun saw it, asked them about the most urgent things, and tried to solve it if it could be solved, and if it couldn't be solved, it would be recorded and found a way to alleviate it.

There are more than 100 governors, governors, political envoys, inspectors, commanders, prefects, county magistrates, county lieutenants, and elders and ordinary people from all over the country who have returned to Beijing.

Zhu Yijun is really useful when he sees so many people, because he is the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the owner of the highest power, even if these people have something to hide, but they can still let the emperor who lives in the Nine Folds understand some of the people's sufferings.

"Your Majesty, there are only the last two left." Feng Bao reminded His Majesty that finally at dusk, the reception came to an end, and even the correction officials were changed three batches.

The last two people are Liu Qiniang and the child she adopted, that is, the one who was extremely bold in Yanxing Building, wanted to open meat for His Majesty, and was later sent to the Yongsheng woolen factory.

Zhu Yijun asked about the woolen official factory, and although Liu Qiniang was very nervous, she answered fluently and did not lose her manners.

"I have also heard of what you said, is this encroachment already so serious?" Zhu Yijun suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "You don't have to say it, I sent someone to investigate, as soon as you opened your mouth, it caused disaster to you." ”

After Zhu Yijun asked, he realized that this Liu Qiniang herself is an Oiran Congliang, and as soon as she opens her mouth, it will be trouble, in case it involves a big person who can't be provoked, Liu Qiniang can't even find a whole corpse.

Liu Qiniang smiled, covered the corners of her mouth and said: "Look at what Your Majesty said, how can you say that the concubine body was also placed in Yongsheng Woolen Factory by Feng Dajue himself, if the concubine body is really gone, the face of the ancestors in the palace, where will Your Majesty's face go?" Don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, and it depends on the owner to beat the dog. ”

"This Jingshi, no matter how big a person is, is no bigger than Your Majesty."

Liu Qiniang is indeed a poor coolie, but after all, she has really seen Feng Bao, in the end, she has seen a lot of bright lights, pushing glasses and changing lamps, and she knows more about things in the officialdom.

"This encroachment damages the public and private, and there are a lot of them in the official factory, but everyone who holds the seal handle of the sesame bean point in his hand is thinking about how to realize it, and what the concubine sees in the official factory is all in this slash." Liu Qiniang shook her sleeves, took out the chopstick, and handed it to Xiao Huangmen, who took a few steps and handed it to Feng Bao, who went to the platform and handed it to His Majesty.

Zhu Yijun opened the slasher, which is a document used to announce events, and it is an official document in any format.

Liu Qiniang obviously doesn't know how to write and don't know the format of the song, so he uses the form of a slash, which is what Liu Qiniang has seen and heard.

Taking advantage of his position, harming the public and private, whether it is buying, selling, or even circulating in the field, a large amount of wool will disappear for no reason. For example, Liu of Yongding woolen factory is responsible for purchasing wool as a factory, and he will buy a large amount of orders from traveling merchants at a higher price, and then take a rebate; For example, among the 123 warehouses under Chen's jurisdiction, in just one year, nearly 150 catties of wool, 57 woolen woolen wool, and 4 worsted wool were eaten;

In just a few years, the Yongding woolen factory has a large number of moths lying on the official factory to suck blood.

"Your Majesty, these moths all have their own masters." Liu Qiniang reminded very vaguely that these moths, they may be someone's distant cousins, or someone's brokerage comprador who was originally someone's agent, was arranged in the factory and made a fortune.

"Leave this matter to Wang Cifu to deal with, the affairs of the factory are still supervised by Wang Cifu." After thinking about it, Zhu Yijun decided to let the factory self-check, if Wang Chonggu did not do well, and the supervision of the imperial court failed, then Zhu Yijun's supervision would enter the market.

Feng Bao had already used this trick, and the effect was excellent.

If it can't be cured, then don't blame Zhu Yijun for being ruthless, raising a knife to kill chickens and monkeys, but whenever there is a little power, he wants to cash in, take advantage of his position, and damage the public and private, many times, it is because the cost of crime is too low, and when the punishment for the crime is punished, some people tolerate and shield it, and those who defy the law hold the luck and herd mentality, others take it, why can't I take it, everyone else takes it, why don't I take it?

But the guillotine was carried to the official factory, and on the day the head hit the ground, no one would have a fluke mentality anymore, because Ka Zhan would really die.

Zhu Yijun couldn't help but think of Yang Keli of the Yang family in Longtan, that good man took a little money to get rid of the barren land, and the acres of land were restored to vitality, and then Yang Kaili died in the Yamen of the Criminal Department in Nanjing.

There are many things to be solved, and they are not as complicated as the Confucians repeatedly shout, and if they are willing to turn the tip of the knife inward, they can solve it, arrest people, fine money, and collect arrears.

Liu Qiniang took the child away, Zhu Yijun spat out a turbid breath, and sighed slightly, this time when he met with foreign officials, Zhang Juzheng did not follow Hu, but chose to avoid suspicion.

In the past, Zhang Juzheng was in the court, when the emperor met with foreign ministers, Zhang Juzheng was around, this time, Zhang Juzheng bluntly said that he had something else, and did not meet with His Majesty to meet foreign ministers.

Feng Bao looked at Liu Qiniang's swaying posture and shook his head slightly, the eunuch who holds the seal is the ancestor of the palace, and he also has the responsibility of holding the flower and bird envoy, and the flower and bird envoy is specially stuffed into the dragon bed for His Majesty.

Sanniangzi has a kind of bohemian beauty, Your Majesty doesn't have too much thought, Liu Qiniang can be the Oiran of Yanxinglou, and her appearance is also first-class, Your Majesty is not interested at all, but she just regards Liu Qiniang as the representative of the weaver of Yongsheng Woolen Factory.

Your Majesty pours her feelings into women, and only the queen Wang Xiaozhuo pours her feelings.

This made Feng Bao a little helpless, this ancestor is really not good, this errand of flowers and birds is really too difficult!

"Drive the Quanchu Guild Hall!" Zhu Yijun stood up and said to Zhang Hong: "If Mr. refuses to come, can't I go?" Call the girl and go to the gentleman's house for dinner! ”

"Obey." Zhang Hong bowed to the leader.

After Zhang Juzheng received the official gift, he was a little numb, in the past, there was only the emperor, but now it is good, there is one more queen!

This whole Chu Hall welcomes the driver, and the threshold is removed, and it is necessary to prepare the dinner of His Majesty and his entourage, and the emperor's meal, the budget of 1,200 silver a year of the Chu Guild Hall has to be killed 200 silver, fortunately, the Quanchu Guild Hall is going to celebrate the New Year, Zhang Juzheng has prepared a lot of things, and fortunately, every time His Majesty comes, he will be rewarded and make up for the shortfall.

Otherwise, the Quanchu Hall will really be eaten poor by the emperor.

Your Majesty travels, and Your Majesty is not only alone, but also the eunuchs, palace maids, horsemen, red helmets, and Han generals around him, there are hundreds of people in total!

Zhu Yijun arrived at the Quanchu Hall is to wander around, one to find a Persian beauty, the other to find a sedan chair carried by thirty-two people, neither of these two found, Zhu Yijun found the new car he gave Zhang Juzheng, this car, is equipped with the latest research of the Ming Royal Institute of Shock absorption system, solid rubber tires.

"Very good, given to Mr. is for Mr. to use, Mr.'s mother is old and inconvenient to go out, with this car, it is much more convenient." Zhu Yijun saw the traces of the use of the vehicle and was quite satisfied.

"Everything that Your Majesty has given you is very useful." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and thanked him, this car, Zhang Juzheng really hasn't used it, after all, it has the same wheel as the emperor's big driver, but Zhang Juzheng's mother is old and can't withstand the bumps, and now it is very convenient to use it when entering and exiting.

"I didn't come empty-handed, give my husband a good thing." Zhu Yijun took out a sandalwood box from his sleeve, opened it, and found a fountain pen, using a hard pen with a steel nib, the nib is made of gold, copper, and silver alloy, gold: silver: copper is 2:1:1, pure gold is too soft to be used as a nib, fifty percent pure gold is the most suitable as an alloy, and the nib is a small copper bead.

This thing is easier to write than a pencil, and the ink is clearer and more durable.

Zhang Juzheng took the pen, tried it a little, and immediately noticed that this thing was indeed easy to use, the writing was extremely smooth, and the handwriting was clearer.

"This white copper bead is the best material I can find right now, but it still needs to be replaced regularly." Zhu Yijun explained the precautions for using a fountain pen, this thing is now extremely rough in production, the strength is a little greater to puncture the paper, a little smaller will not put ink, and this ink, you need to shake it gently a few times before use.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again and thanked him, every time His Majesty had something good, he would immediately think about sending it to the Quanchu Hall and giving it to his husband.

People's hearts are long, Zhang Juzheng even raised an unrealistic illusion, that is, the Ming Emperor will not liquidate him after his death, according to general experience, after Zhang Juzheng's death, he is a powerful minister who is not dug up and dug up, it is an excellent end.

Of course, His Majesty has never been a man who plays his cards according to common sense.

Zhu Yijun was very relaxed in Zhang Juzheng's house, after eating and drinking, he lay down on the Taishi chair, pulled up his leg support, and leaned on it lazily, looking like he was not stingy, which was a loss of manners.

Zhang Juzheng originally wanted to admonish twice, but he looked left and right, this is not a court, in a private house, at this time, there is no need to pay attention to so much red tape, he is sitting in a precarious position, and there is no rudeness.

"Sir, I'm confused." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said with a smile.

Zhang Juzheng's mind buzzed, Your Majesty's sentence, I have heard less in the past two years, and this sudden hearing made Zhang Juzheng extremely vigilant, and he asked with a little doubt: "Your Majesty, is there a little doubt about the foreign official today?" ”

"Yes and no." Zhu Yijun nodded and shook his head, affirming and denying, the main thing is a so, plausible.

"Why does the gentleman always refuse to go further in the theory of contradictions, public and private theories, the theory of labor, and the theory of wealth, or more explicitly, why does the gentleman insist that it is impossible to distinguish between the monarch's father, the monarchy, and the monarch's teacher? Discuss politics in private and speak freely. Zhu Yijun asked what he had always wanted to ask, Zhang Juzheng insisted on this bottom line to the point of almost obsession, Zhu Yijun every time he talked about one is one, two is two, and when he distinguishes between the monarch's father, the monarch's country, and the monarch's teacher, Zhang Juzheng avoids talking about it.

Now that Zhang Juzheng has really returned to power, has returned all power to the emperor, and has no strength to abuse power again, then this issue can be discussed, otherwise Zhu Yijun broke the casserole and asked in the end, just like asking, sir, why don't you rebel?

Zhang Ju's face was serious, he thought for a long time before he spoke: "The minister knows what His Majesty said, and the minister thinks that this matter is not good if it is not separated, but it is not good if it is separated." ”

"Sir, you mean that it is wrong to separate and to be mixed up?" Zhu Yijun spread his hands, he didn't quite agree with Zhang Juzheng's idea.

In Zhu Yijun's view, this gives the king too many missions, which is the layers of shackles, putting the emperor into a cage called etiquette, and the survival of the country is completely linked to the emperor's personal virtue, so that the emperor becomes a person in a suit.

The rise and fall of the country only has anything to do with the emperor, and has nothing to do with other people.

The reason why Zhu Yijun has always insisted on separating the monarch's father, the monarchy, and the monarch's teacher is that he wants to deny the king's unlimited responsibility system.

In practice, the Ming monarch did not have unlimited power, and even most of the time, he was tied, but in terms of responsibility, the responsibility for the death of the country was attributed to the emperor.

I am the king of the dead country, not the minister of the dead country?

Of course, Zhang Juzheng understands what His Majesty means, and when His Majesty discussed this issue, he expressed more than once that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, but Zhang Juzheng, as the Yuan Fu, has always opposed this proposition, the world, the world of the world.

Zhang Juzheng insisted that the world, His Majesty alone ruled the world.

"The minister thinks from the practical side." Zhang Juzheng leaned back in his chair, thought for a long time, looked at the Ming Emperor, his proposition has always been very clear, that is, the wise monarchy.

When the emperor is wise, the dynasty can accumulate enough confidence, when the emperor is no longer wise, the king of the Ming Dynasty becomes dim, and begins to slowly slide downward, and when the family wealth is relatively rich, the time of the decline is a little longer, looking forward to the emergence of a wise saint lord to lead the Ming Revolution to the new.

If the family is not rich enough, and there is no expectation of the master of Zhongxing, it is a change of dynasty.

"Practically?" Zhu Yijun asked suspiciously.

"The person who stamps the seal can and can only be one, if there are more, there will be chaos, there will be many politics, and the country will not be a country." Zhang Juzheng concisely summarized the first reason why he insisted so much, the seal can only be one person, not two, three, or more, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, the content of the court meeting needs to be personally sealed by His Majesty the Emperor to make decisions, which is the specific embodiment of imperial power, and the seal can only be one person.

Many people can't stamp it, and the result of many politicians is that the country will not be a country.

Zhang Juzheng continued: "Your Majesty, from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the middle of the Tang Dynasty, before the imperial examination system was perfected, it was the family in the world, and the family bulls controlled the decision-making of the imperial court. ”

"It's very simple, if you hug your own home, that's your own, and what you can't hug is someone else's."

"There is nothing in the world that is not selfish, no one is not selfish, at the beginning of life, everyone is selfish, and everyone is selfish."

Zhang Juzheng was the regent of the country, but instead of hugging everything to his own home, he chose to reform the old and bring the new, and he betrayed the class by doing so.

There are only individuals who have betrayed the class, and there has never been a collective that has betrayed the class.

It is Zhang Juzheng's personal choice to choose to reform the old and make the new, choose to report to the first emperor, and be loyal to His Majesty, and in this process, some people can't understand the final parting of ways, such as Gao Qiyu.

"Sir is reasonable." Zhu Yijun found that what Zhang Juzheng said was reasonable and well-founded, the Central Plains Dynasty has gone through more than 1,000 years, changed dynasties, changed the situation, tried various systems again and again, the entire East and West Jin, fifteen emperors were set aside fourteen, and the evaluation of the East and West Jin Dynasty is absurd.

Although there was unlimited freedom between the East and the West, and everyone could be served at the table and eaten by others, the common people suffered from war and could not guarantee the stability of the majority of the people, and this system was spurned.

Zhu Yijun met so many people at Huangji Gate, and he was already keenly aware of a problem, that is, the Daming official factory, which had only been set up for a long time, was already full of moths.

Liu Qiniang, a lowly person who turned into a citizen, but because of his past experience, he couldn't even marry a small person, said: Anyone who holds a seal handle in his hand wants to turn it into cash; Zhang Juzheng, the Yuanfu Taifu who has done his best for the country, said to Zhu Yijun: There is nothing in the world that is not selfish, and no one is selfish, this has really happened in history.

Zhang Juzheng took a sip of tea and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the monarch's father, the monarch's country, and the monarch's teacher are one, in fact, it is very simple, because in this way, the emperor is the father of the people of the world, the emperor has the territory of the world, the emperor is the teacher of the people of the world, and the example of the people of the world, and the whole world belongs to the old Zhu family, so there is no need for Your Majesty to go to your own home." ”

"Your Majesty is the only one."

Only when the world is His Majesty's private property, and when His Majesty makes decisions, he will definitely think for the world, not for private affairs, so that all dispositions can be more fair and just, and benefit the majority of people in the world.

Everyone in the world is selfish, but His Majesty is the only one.

Zhang Juzheng's logic is very rigorous, so rigorous that Zhu Yijun, the first troll of the Ming Dynasty, doesn't know where to start to refute it, because as early as the early Han Dynasty, this point has been made clear, the king is selfless, and he has no personal affairs as the lord of the world.

"Your Majesty, the monarch's father, the monarch's country, the monarch's teacher, one private and one public, confusing and juxtaposing, is indeed wrong, but if this public and private are really distinguished, then how to find out the person who stamped the seal? Who is in charge? Zhang Juzheng discussed how to find the person who stamped the seal after the monarch and father were separated.

"The strong soldiers and the strong live in it." After listening to Zhang Juzheng's question, Zhu Yijun answered this question with a sigh.

Zhang Juzheng took out the example of five dynasties and ten kingdoms and told His Majesty that he really distinguished this concept, that is, the beginning of the world's military disasters.

At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the eunuchs held the Shence Army, constantly abolished the Son of Heaven, and forcibly trampled the emperor from the supreme position in the soil, and the final result was that the Son of Heaven would rather have a kind of strong soldiers and strong horses.

History has already given a definite answer to Zhu Yijun's question, and there is no need to make another mistake along the wrong rut.

"That's it." Zhang Juzheng turned his mouth and said: "Also, the ancestors became the law. ”

"Some of the ancestors are no longer suitable for the world, and they need to be qualified, while some are in line with the current situation, so they need to follow the ancestors.

"Your Majesty, you sang and I took the stage, the decree has not been implemented, it has changed, a while forward and a backward, a decree, just issued, has not been implemented, or just completed the execution, the decree of the imperial court has changed, is this really a decree?"

Zhang Juzheng did not give an example to demonstrate, because His Majesty is a person who reads history books, and during the two Song Dynasty, the party struggle was extremely fierce, the reformists and the conservative faction came and went, and the harm of changing the government decree at night did not need to be repeated by Zhang Juzheng, His Majesty understood it very well.

Zhang Juzheng expressed his views from several aspects, and made decisions only by one person, that is, everyone in the world is selfish, and only His Majesty is the only one who has a public ear, and from the lessons of history, he summed up the consequences of more than one person who can make decisions, and then supplemented his arguments from the consistency of policies.

Many of His Majesty's ideas, imaginative, monarchy, monarchy, monarchy, and division, are indeed debatable, but this is also the best and most suitable system that can be found at the moment, and the system design is carried out around the supreme emperor.

"Mr. Xie teaches." Zhu Yijun finally fully understood Zhang Juzheng's thoughts.

Perhaps, Zhang Ju is right.

Asking for a monthly pass, woo!!!!!!!!!
