They learned a unique skill in Daming, called sitting on the cylinder, that is, they have been living at the edge of the cylinder, sitting on the edge of the cylinder, if the clamp is not tight, it will fall down, and in the long run, the meat and the buttocks will be closely attached to each other, forming a new portal.

This kind of special training, few people can bear.

The business of painting boats is immoral, and it is also the reason why Sun is always poked in the backbone and abused, and Sun still goes his own way.

In the port of Nagasaki, three three-masted plywood ships belonging to Matsue Ocean Trading Company are slowly leaving the port under the towing of barges, and only one of these three plywood ships will return to Matsue Prefecture, and the rest will depart from Nagasaki and pass through Naha Port in Shuri, Ryukyu Province, Chicken Long Island Tamsui Port, Kelong Island Kolong Port, Luzon Miyan Port, Luzon Manila Port, Luzon Cebu Island, and Mindanao Port.

Tamsui Town, the first open port on Jonlong Island, is in the northernmost part of Konlong Island.

The first batch of arrivals to open up there are 3,000 strong Ding, Wanli three years, Tamsui Town built a port, and then the most beech on the chicken cage island was continuously transported to Daming, in exchange for a variety of goods, Wanli six years, Tamsui Town became the first city to break through 100,000 Dingkou on Chicken Coop Island.

Xinglong Port (Kaohsiung Port) is the second port to open and is located at the southernmost point of Jonlong Island.

This is the second gathering place opened up by the Ming Dynasty on Jilong Island, the Xinglong Port in the fourth year of Wanli was officially completed, as the relay port of the Ming Dynasty to Luzon, the ships from Songjiang and Yuegang of the Ming Dynasty have to pass through the Penghu Inspection Division, and then stay in the Xinglong Port for supplies, Xinglongzhuang is only about 90,000 people, and it is expected that it will break through 100,000 Dingkou in Wanli ten years.

The two three-masted plywood ships, in addition to supplies, did not stop too much along the way, but went directly to Mindanao, which is the cargo distribution center of the Yuanxu Islands.

Davao City, is the seat of the Spanish colonial governor of Mindanao, Yin Zhengmao since the first year of Wanli, entrenched in Luzon Hongmaofan carried out several attacks, first the entire Luzon Island was lost, and then the Cebu Islands, in the sixth year of Wanli, Yin Zhengmao led 3,000 guest soldiers, 5,000 guards, after blocking the Goa Governor's Palace to land on Mindanao, finally landed on the last area of the colonial Governor's Palace.

Now the Spanish colonists have completely shrunk into the castle of Davao, this castle is the last dignity left by the Ming Dynasty to Felipe II, in the eyes of Spain itself, the Viceroyalty of Luzon still exists, and most of the Spanish nobles do not even know the location of the Viceroyalty of Luzon, let alone the discussion of the loss of the territory of the Colonial Viceroyalty, as long as the trade of galleons is unimpeded, for the nobles, it does not matter.

At the end of December of the eighth year of Wanli, after a heavy rain, the granary in Davao Castle was soaked in water, and the new governor of the Luzon Governorate finally walked out of the castle and signed an agreement with the Ming to give up military armament in exchange for supplies.

At this point, the Spanish colonial rule in Luzon was officially declared completely over, and only the establishment was retained for the maintenance of shipping routes.

Davao Castle has essentially become the 'City of Nations' of the Ming Dynasty in Mindanao.

Davao City is the third most prosperous city in the whole of Luzon, where more than 200,000 Dingkou are gathered, and it is the trading center of the entire Yuanxu Islands.

The two three-masted plywood ships arrived in Davao City and began to unload their cargo, and after unloading all the Japanese slaves, they exchanged for enough cargo to prepare for the return voyage, rubber, palm oil, fish oil, sugar cubes, spices, and this time, the two plywood ships carried a cargo that was not on the list, tobacco-light mushroom, also called Kaoru Jinsi.

It is a sacred grass from the Viceroyalty of Peru, and the Mayan priests are dressed in ornate costumes, wearing a grass ring made of light mushrooms, and holding a long pipe with sun-dried tobacco at the top of the pipe, which is lit during the sacrifice and communicates with the gods when the clouds and mist are spewed.

In addition to the use of a pipe, there is also a way to use it, which is rolled in straw paper, which the indigenous people of Peru call zical, or cigar.

This came from Peru and soon took root in the Yuanxu Islands, where some plantations were planted, mainly for slaves to paralyze themselves, paralyze physical pain and obtain mental pleasure after a busy and heavy work, also as part of the plantation owners' plan to reclaim wages.

After the two plywood ships were loaded with cargo, they began to return home, and they arrived in Songjiang Province after replenishing the timber at Xinglong Port for another time.

The cargo of the two plywood ships successfully passed through the lottery of the Metropolitan Salary Hall, but two large boxes of light eight mushrooms were confiscated, because although this commodity is not prohibited, it is too similar to another category of contraband, and Songjiang City decided to confiscate it for the sake of safety.

This type of contraband is Fushou ointment, which is justified as opium, which is the notorious opium.

In the second year of Longqing, the port was opened, and two dollars of silver were collected for every ten catties of opium, and the first year of Wanli was controlled, and the flow of opium into the Ming Dynasty was banned in the third year of Wanli.

The black incense in the Siamese tribute items is opium, and a tribute of 200 catties is used to relieve pain, and the chief medical officer of this thing has studied its harm, and Li Shizhen said that every time the disease has not been eradicated, the addiction to smoking has been on, and it is a lifelong burden, and it is beyond the ear to regret it, and it has become a controlled drug.

This kind of opioid drug addiction is very terrible, and the research of the Interpretation Institute shows that opioid addiction is so that people cry and cry, and their hands and feet cannot be lifted, that is, the white blade is added to the front, and the leopard and tiger are forced to the back, and they can only bow down to death, and can not exercise a little. Therefore, those who have eaten opium for a long time have shrunk their shoulders and shrunk their necks, and their colors are withered and dying like a sick man.

Zhu Yijun personally met the person who was addicted to drugs, and said that it was a ghost, which was a humiliation of the ghost.

Zhu Yijun soon received these two very special boxes of 'tribute', and finally thought about it for a long time and decided to still prohibit their flow into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.

"Forbidden, forbidden to enter the Ming." Zhu Yijun made Zhu Criticism.

Tobacco this kind of thing in the Ming Dynasty spread very fast, to the apocalypse years has been flooded, one acre of harvest, can be ten acres of enemy land, and even no one does not plant, no one does not use, to Chongzhen eight years, Chongzhen Emperor decreed a ban on smoking, the offender was killed, the following year, outside the Guanwai Houjin Khan Huang Taiji, also decreed to ban tobacco.

The main reason for the ban on tobacco is that it is hated by both sides of the world, and because of its excessive profits, it has led to a large reduction in crop cultivation.

However, these two bans have no effect at all, because this kind of tobacco, sold outside the customs, can be sold for one pound of tobacco per horse, and three or four pounds of tobacco for a cow.

If there is a 20% profit, capital will be ready to move; If there is a 50% profit, capital will take risks; If there is a 100% profit, capital dares to risk hanging its head; If there is a 300% profit, capital will dare to trample on all the laws of the world.

Obviously, the profits of the tobacco and opium business have completely exceeded 300%, and objectively speaking, the light eight mushrooms will definitely spread everywhere, and in the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing, Jay Nico de Villemeen, who returned to France from Portugal, brought the light eight mushrooms back, planted them and made huge profits.

All Zhu Yijun can do is strictly prohibit it from flowing into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, which can be delayed for a while, but for a while.

Contradictions are everywhere, and the Ming Dynasty has obtained crops such as sweet potatoes, rubber, Brazilian rosewood, sugar cane, and cotton in the open sea, and there will also be far-reaching and negative crops such as poppies, dead water vines, and light mushrooms.

The Nagasaki Governor's Office reported on the progress of the promotion of treasure banknotes, and determined the division of accounts between the Ming Dynasty and the Nagasaki Governor's Palace, which was divided into fifty and fifty shares, that is, the treasure banknotes were always treasured, and the imperial court and the Nagasaki Governor's Office made a profit of 3.5 yuan of silver, and the daimyo of the Wakoku Kingdom shared 30% of the profits, allowing the daimyo of the Wakoku to promote the treasure money method.

Bao banknotes are indeed inferior to inferior currency in the Ming Dynasty, but in the Wa Kingdom, it is a kind of reputable endorsement, well-made, and not easy to counterfeit currency, which is the basis for the promotion of treasure banknotes.

The Ministry of Households has no objection to this, even if it is divided into fifty or five with the Nagasaki Governor's Palace, it is also a big step for the Ministry of Households, the long-term absence of monetary policy in the Ming Dynasty, resulting in the Ministry of Households has lost the ability to control money, overseas treasure money, is a kind of recovery.

For the Nagasaki Governor's Palace, the Ming Dynasty is more worried that Nagasaki, Ryukyu, Luzon, Old Port, and the Yuanxu Islands will become sea bandits, and fifty-five is already an acceptable range, which is all counted, how many treasure money will be sent back to the Ming Dynasty in silver, and such a lucrative seigniorage tax will make some of the overstretched finances in the context of large-scale development breathe a sigh of relief.

This is a Ming robbery, but who cares about it?

"Your Majesty, Wang Cifu set up a big banquet at the Quanjin Hall today, saying that he would hold a seven-day flowing water banquet because he wanted to celebrate the completion of Chonggu Chi Road." Feng Bao reported a news from the outer court.

The Ming court pinned its hopes on these village sages to be able to give lectures, change customs, repair bridges and roads, provide disaster relief, and maintain basic order.

Wang Chonggu, as the top-level building of the official class, as the top meat eater in the powerful right, also performed his function of repairing bridges and roads, and built a gallop road from Beijing to Shanhaiguan for the Ming Dynasty.

Now, the completion of the project, Wang Chonggule has blossomed, and it is reasonable to celebrate with a flowing water banquet.

"Is the inscription mentioned by my imperial pen engraved? After carving, it was sent to Wang Cifu, and Wang Cifu was asked to go to the entrance of Tongzhou Chidao. Zhu Yijun was also very concerned about this matter, and he also wrote four big characters in his own handwriting, and asked the Chinese scholars to write a praise sheet to highlight Wang Chonggu's contributions.

If there is merit, it will be rewarded, and if it is wrong, it will be punished, Wang Chonggu has no pursuit of materialism, so reward him with some fame.

Feng Bao put a book in front of the imperial case, and said with a smile: "Wang Daokun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said: Before the end of the year, the Jingliao Chi Road from Shanhaiguan to Liaoyang, the Jingning Chi Road from Jizhou, Zunhua, Xifengkou, and Daningwei, the Beijing-Tianjin Chi Road from Tongzhou to Tianjin Wei, and the Jingyun Chi Road from Jingshi to Datong will all be completed. ”

Chonggu, Jingliao, Jingning, Beijing-Tianjin, Jingyunchidao, is Wanli six years ago, began to survey, design, recruit craftsmen, construction, now the project has gradually ended, is in the acceptance stage, the most difficult to repair a section, is Jingyunchidao.

Datong Mansion, in ancient times, it was called Yunzhong County, that is, the cloud of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, the biggest resistance to the construction of Jingyun Chi Road, not elsewhere, but in Juyong Pass, Juyong Pass South Mouth Section, the vertical drop is more than 30 zhang, every one zhang is raised, it is necessary to repair a hundred zhang of circling mountain road, and the south entrance section of Juyong Pass has repaired a mountain road of 30 miles.

The second difficulty is the tunnel, a total of four tunnels, a total of four miles, four miles of tunnels, for the Ming Dynasty, is already a big problem, the two ends of the shaft, the center of the flowering shaft method, so that the construction period shortened to two years, before the complete chiseling, in order to solve the possible collapse problem, the craftsmen came up with a lot of methods.

The third difficulty, is up to 70 zhang, located in the Huailai bridge, this bridge across the Huailai River, a total of seven holes, each hole up to 10 zhang, 10 zhang skeleton keel steel, the Ming Dynasty can not make out, can not transport over, retreat to the second use of the steel beam, transported to the Huailai River with a mule cart, and then riveted into a bridge one by one.

The whole bridge can also not be repaired, from the upper reaches of the Huailai River, the detour is 300 miles, the household is a total, the detour needs much more silver than the bridge, so the choice to repair the bridge, this bridge used the imperial court one million silver.

A total of more than 10 million silver has been invested in the five Chi Road, which is divided into three years of investment, except for Chonggu Chi Road, which is wholly owned by the Ming Dynasty and the state, and the cost of a mile Chi Road is 9,500 taels of silver.

The gallop road is five zhang wide, three of which are carriage and horse roads, various street trees and ditches on both sides, and the remaining two zhang are the rails of wood-clad iron, so the cost is so expensive, the iron horse of the Ming Dynasty, the horsepower is just three horses, used to consign goods, and can barely haul goods.

"I'm afraid I'm going to be scolded again and compete with the people for profit." Zhu Yijun looked at the Ministry of Industry's recital, holding the Zhu pen in his hand, after the approval of this recital, Zhu Yijun's label of competing with the people for profit, I'm afraid he will always follow him.

The Chi Road is not free, the use of the Chi Road, is to pay, and the price is expensive, in terms of weight, and there are post stations along the way, which need to be compatible to prevent fee evasion.

Feng Bao said helplessly: "This is a helpless thing, with such investment, you always have to take it back, and you have to maintain and renovate it, it's all money." ”

Chi road repair is expensive, not much mileage, it cost tens of millions of silver, it is expensive to use, daily maintenance and repair, along the road post station can be combined, etc., all need a large amount of silver to maintain.

Zhu Yijun Zhu criticized the Ministry of Industry's negligence, and it is better to be scolded than to die poor.

According to the Ming Ministry of Industry said, this gallop to recover the cost, it will take 50 years, because the next road hardening of the carriage road, in addition to maintenance, the hardening of the carriage road is also an astronomical amount, with the increase of goods, the speed of recovery of costs will increase, but it will also take 30 years.

On the road from Xuanfu to Jingshi, there are eight banknote passes, such as Xuanfu, Xiahuayuan, Shacheng, Kangzhuang, Juyongguan, Nankou, Shahe Town, Xizhimen, etc., and the next Chi Road must pass the draw points, and the draw is divided into 100 values and draw six, and the five Chi Road has a total of 24 banknote pass draw points.

According to the planning of the Ministry of Industry, the commercial tax system of Daming will be built on the Chi Road, and the commercial tax will be bound to meet the Chi Road.

The Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, once every three years to replace, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Household Hall officials for the patrol governor, sent the three products of the Lang in charge, and then sent a branch of the Taoist officer, a soldier Lang in the department, a eunuch of the celebrant pen, the inventory of the original faction, each bureau set up a bureau is a person, every month to create the old management, new income, dismissal, real, preparation, has been solved six volumes, income and expenditure of an account, annual audit of the Ministry of Households.

If there is a promotion, the official service is completed, then the money and grain case file should be handled, the secretary of the ministry and the commission should be cleared and understood, and then allowed to leave the post and send it.

The Ministry of Household hopes to improve the commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ministry of Industry hopes to establish a gallop road through the world, and the two ministries hit it off, taking the Chidao as the basis of reality, taking the six volumes and one account as the basic tax accounts, and the internal and national treasury audit as the means of review, and trying to improve the commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty to the level of the two songs, which is the long-term goal of the Ministry of Households.

This is a decision that violates the law of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, according to the ancestral teachings of the Hongwu period, for the industry of trade and industry, the benefits of fish and salt, taxes are not levied, and the people are corrected.

Tax, refers to the process of commodity transportation, to the shipowners and owners of the domestic tariffs, Hongwu seven years of the reform of the banknote customs (treasure money draw), Gongguan (bamboo and wood points), gate tax (city gate money), dam tax (over the dam money) and so on, since the Hongwu seven years, the Ming Dynasty only live tax.

Housing tax is the business tax, the tax levied on goods traded in the market, and the business tax on market stalls.

From Xuanfu to Jingshi, these eight banknote customs and sub-bureaus are collected over taxes, which will inevitably cause many voices of opposition.

Zhu Yijun, as the emperor, heard the opposition of the profits tax, which shows how turbulent the opposition of the people, in this critical time, the emperor still has to go his own way, and on the newly built galloping road, not only to collect tolls, but also to collect taxes, the backlash caused can be imagined.

If you oppose it, you will also accept it.

Taxes, no way.

Zhu Yijun looked at a large number of recitals on the table, Wang Guoguang, Zhang Xueyan, and Wang Daokun have changed from the ministers of the humerus who have benefited the country to the ministers of the dead country who have gathered slander and remnants of the people, and this is only the announcement of the profits tax, and without the actual collection, the promotion officials of the five municipal departments are also playing, and the crowd is excited, please think carefully.

After he carefully read each of the recitals, he drew a × number, and Zhang Juzheng posted blank floating tickets on this kind of recitals.

Zhang Juzheng actually did not approve of such radical reforms, a reformist who led the Ming New Deal, and became a conservative by life, although he did not approve of it, he never opposed it.

The fire at the city gate always affects the fish in the pond, and the loud opposition of the luxury households has caused some waves in the Ming Dynasty, but these waves have not yet evolved into monstrous waves.

"Tell sir, tomorrow on the tenth day of October, the clipper ship will be transmitted to the hinterland city, and the profits tax will be implemented immediately, and the court will be ordered to go at night without delay." Zhu Yijun decided not to wait any longer and directly implemented the implementation of profits tax.

Is profits tax really that unacceptable? It's just that it's not allowed to leave the hinterland of Daming with precious metals, but Zhu Yijun wants to see how far this gang can go.

When necessary, it should also be used for the crime of rebellion and treason.

October is already early winter, the cold wind in the northwest has blown to the Beijing Division, by the way, the black ash of the Xishan Coal Bureau, blown to the corners of the Beijing Division, the streets of the Beijing Division, there are a lot of cotton masks, this is the Huimin Pharmacy for sale, when the Ming Dynasty went to court, with cotton masks, immediately caused a fashion, swept the entire Beijing Hall.

The Ministry of Industry used many methods, but the 'haze disaster' came as scheduled.

Haze disaster, Hu Yuan Tianli two years in March, because there was no snow the year before last, there was little rain in spring, sand and dust covered the sky and the sun, the sky was dusk and it was difficult to see the sun, passers-by all covered their faces and walked, the fog locked most of the capital, many days did not see the daylight, the door was hidden in the haze, so far, the haze disaster appeared in history.

With the population of Beiya more and more, human activities will be trees felling, the ecology is gradually destroyed, in the record, the frequency of haze disasters is getting higher and higher, to October of the ninth year of Wanli, this wind and dust outside, there is another soot, the whole air is filled with a smell of burning, extremely pungent.

Cotton spinning masks are completely palliative.

Lin Fucheng, a great Confucian of the Songjiang School, his poetry club is in Xicheng, "Easy Stories" sells very poorly, and the Easy Society can't make ends meet, which makes Lin Fucheng extremely sad, the northern luxury households, more like Zhang Juzheng's believers, they like the contradiction theory, public and private theory, production theory and class theory, for the theory of freedom, the northern Shilin generally believes that there are some merits, but always feel that there is a lack of foundation.

At present, there are three hot spots in Daming Jingtang, soot, profits tax, and Yanxinglou expansion, but whenever Lin Fucheng starts from this hot spot, "Easy Stories" will become.

The free and easy things he talked about were too illusory, and some people even thought that he was a layman Taoist.

After thinking about it, Lin Fucheng submitted an article to Geng's directional people's newspaper, in which he discussed the word freedom with the three things of soot, profits tax, and the expansion of Yanxinglou.

Lin Fucheng supported the Ministry of Industry in vague terms, supported the implementation of profits tax, and supported the expansion of Yanxing Building.

The liberals supported the Ming Emperor and the court's brutal interference, which somewhat made the Ming Shilin feel a little inexplicable.

As far as Lin Fucheng preached, it is almost equivalent to an anti-thief, and it is just a matter of preaching one or two in the Jiangnan realm, and he went to Beijing to preach, His Majesty actually did not directly pull people to the vegetable market to be cut down as anti-thieves, it can only be said that His Majesty is magnanimous.

The Ming Shilin literary circle, in fact, did not dare to attack Zhang Juzheng, Wang Chonggu, Wang Guoguang, Wang Daokun, these Ming dukes, but all the nonsense of the pen is transmitted to the ears of the Ming duke, and there is no need for the Ming duke to speak, and some people make the pen is worse than death.

I can't mess with the ministers of the court, and I can't afford to mess with you Lin Fucheng?!

Soon, Lin Fucheng was invited to Taibai Building, this invitation was initiated by the Guangren Poetry Society, the largest poetry society in Jingtang, and invited many pens to gather in Taibai Building, saying that it was a poetry meeting, but it was just to take this opportunity to humiliate Lin Fucheng, which was a phased victory.

After hearing the news, the Shangshu Wanshi of the Daming Rite Department carefully studied Lin Fucheng's article and decided to go to help.

"How to be free and free?" Lin Fucheng was not stage frightened, knowing that this was a Hongmen banquet, he still went to the appointment as usual, he heard everyone's criticism as soon as he entered the door, but he still walked to the platform and asked loudly.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Wang Qian, the son of Wang Chonggu's family, Huang Gongzi, Wang Gongzi and Huang Gongzi of the General's Mansion, and smiled at Lin Fucheng.

Lin Fucheng said loudly: ""Guanzi Herdsman" said: Cangli knows etiquette, food and clothing are sufficient and knows honor and disgrace, if you want to be free, you need extreme material abundance! Man changes nature and gets the harvest, this is production, there will be a surplus in production, and classes are created in order to strip others! ”

"Only when food, clothing, housing and transportation are extremely abundant, everyone has no worries about food and clothing, and it is meaningless to peel off, will we have great freedom and great freedom!"

Lin Fucheng made it clear from the beginning, and explained his main meaning from the beginning, how to let everyone be free, naturally everyone has no worries about food and clothing.

Lin Fucheng looked around and said loudly: "I'm from Songjiang Mansion!" ”

"Songjiang Mansion is a department store in the world, and there are a dazzling array of rare treasures, which are inexhaustible and inexhaustible."

"However, I went all the way north to Beijing, crossed the river to Yangzhou, the prosperity faded, and I was still rich and healthy, and all the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, although I was a little poor, but it was enough to be happy."

"Returning to the north, to Xuzhou, the road is less than five steps wide, the people are all vegetables, there are no new shoes on the feet, running for a living, going north to Mount Tai, Mount Tai picks up the mountain, picks one hundred and twenty pounds of goods up the mountain, six times a day, but seventy Wen Fei money, should be innumerable."

"Then to the north, to the Beijing Division, prosperity reappears."

"Ladies and gentlemen, Songjiang, Nanya, and Yangzhou are the Ming Dynasty, and Xuzhou, Taishan, Jinan, Tongzhou, and both sides of the canal are also the Ming Dynasty! The powerful right is the Ming people, and the poor coolies are also the Ming people! ”

"Freedom belongs to every place in Daming, and freedom also belongs to everyone in Daming."

Zhu Yijun tilted his head sideways and said to Wang Qian: "Did anyone show him the public and private theory?" I remember that before that, he was just a general. ”

Zhu Yijun's change in Lin Fucheng was extremely unexpected, in this passage, there are thousands of miles of travel, and he has seen a lot on the road, but these scenes have not changed his understanding of freedom.

Zhang Juzheng took the lead in making this whole set of theories, all of which are memetic pollution, and when encountering unexplainable things, he can always find a foothold in this whole set of theories, and the stones of the mountains can attack jade, obviously, Lin Fucheng's understanding of freedom has changed.

"It was given to him by the minister." Wang Qian was not ambiguous, he said very certainly: "The last time we met, he scolded the minister's father, the minister was not convinced, he scolded the son for his father, if he said that the minister's father was a traitor, the minister, the minister did not refute, and admitted it, but he said last time that the minister's father was an incompetent person, and this minister must not be recognized." ”

"Even if we refer to Liu Bowen's military guard at the beginning of the country, and refer to Emperor Cheng Zuwen's residence and craftsmanship system, the officialdom is not based on the script."

"So the minister was embarrassed by him, and he didn't let the Jingshi Bookstore give him the goods, and by the way, he threw Yuanfu's works to him."

"That's why Lin Fucheng contributed to the People's Daily?" Zhu Yijun knew the story, and the difficulties of feeling Lin Fucheng were all offended by the prince in front of him.
