Chapter 476: It's Too Cruel!
Wang Qian didn't understand why the emperor wanted to instruct the speculation of the ship, but he found his own track, he was really too professional in this matter, Wang Qian was in charge of the Yanxinglou trading house, but the trading house has all kinds of rules and regulations, and even all kinds of private trade fairs with extremely high thresholds will be restricted.
But after arriving at the ship, this is a blue ocean without any rules!
Here, the terrifying power of the powerful right, will be infinitely amplified in the context of disorder, there are no rules to represent absolute freedom, and it is time for the luxury households to deeply understand how terrifying it is to live and kill from the top down under absolute freedom.
Wang Qian's expression was very excited, he had already come up with countless ways!
But before the specific operation, Wang Qian chose to read the class theory of the second volume first, he is not easy to learn this point, the main thing is to judge the holy will, see the specific content of the book that His Majesty likes, and then take action to prevent the misconduct caused by not understanding the holy will, causing trouble in the upper body.
After reading it, Wang Qian always felt a sense of déjà vu that combined Chinese and Western, because in the distribution volume, Zhang Juzheng analyzed Taixi's colonial law.
Tessie's colonization began in Rome.
Rome's colonial strategy was to first send troops to conquer and kill all the men in various ways, and then move the Romans to set up a governor to rule;
The Portuguese colonial strategy was: burning, killing and looting, and then enslaving the mestizo natives;
Spain's colonization strategy was: first burning, killing and looting, and then enslaving the natives and mestizo natives in the form of sermons, and Felipe II was the image of a paladin guarding the Holy See;
The colonial strategy of England was: burn them all, kill them all, and then deceive their poor prisoners to the colonies, sell all kinds of slaves to fill the labor gap, and enslave the scoundrels;
The French colonial strategy was to physically screen the indigenous traitors as agents of the colonies, and then profit from the agents, and these traitors, or converts, often behaved more cruelly than the colonizers for the complex reasons of converts' fanaticism to show their obedience and profit.
France and England at the moment, also have a little colony in West Africa, much inferior in size to Spain and Portugal, but already there.
The Ming Dynasty has joined the process of opening up the sea or globalization, the colonial strategy of the Ming Dynasty is both, the colonial strategy of the Ming Dynasty is actually still the king, a simple military bondage, and the establishment of the Xuanwei Division after the continuous increase of the bondage, and then the feudal system, the marquis guards one side, and finally the real land county.
This context is very clear, with the deepening of the rule, the cost of management of the Ming is rising, and at the same time, the distribution of local areas is also further increasing.
Then, Zhang Juzheng quoted scriptures to discuss the failure of the Ming Dynasty's rule in Jiaozhi.
After the de facto independence of Annan, the Ming Dynasty carried out a conquest, but did not let the British Gongzhang Fujiu Town, in the perspective of the Ming Dynasty, this decision is no problem, because Annan belongs to the Central Plains traditional radiation area, military, economic, cultural and political convergence is highly converged, but the lack of the feudal system, the lack of fence guards, resulting in no vassal king or lord in order to survive, in the distribution issue, to adjust the contradictions, and finally, the Annan Kingdom formed a consensus to break away from the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
Each sentence of these contents is a huge challenge for the current etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, but every sentence is based on the reality of practice.
After Wang Qian finished reading the distribution papers, he even had a kind of 'stupidity!' All problems are the illusion of distribution, even if the second volume is written separately, it is completely sufficient, and in the same way, Wang Qian, who can be admitted to the Jinshi, also understands the natural inference.
Zhang Juzheng is bold, and Zhang Juzheng's boldness is caused by His Majesty's acquiescence and even connivance.
Wang Qian can only sigh that there is a good reason why Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang support His Majesty so much.
Wang Qian also has to study the second volume carefully, and he actually sneers at freedom!
In the theory of free trade, there is a pair of invisible hands, regulating supply and demand, and all theories of free trade are based on this basis to achieve, as long as there is demand, supply will be slowly derived, and all this will naturally be supplemented.
Wang Qian personally believes that this invisible big hand will definitely be artificially destroyed, even if there is no interference of the imperial court, the management of the imperial court is absent, and the 'bankers' formed by private transactions with extremely high thresholds will replace the management function and become the tangible big hand in the theory of free trade.
Because classes still exist, and only by eliminating classes can the dealer be eliminated.
At this moment, Wang Qian is that hand, he put his hand into the ship to lead the transaction, and then began to unite with Songjiang Sun Sun Kehong, set off a monstrous wave, there is no courtesy, shame and restraint at all, only thirteen days later, the ship lead transaction was completely affected by the price, Wang Qian and Sun Kehong began to sit in the village.
Sun Kehong was so frightened that he even made a special move into Beijing through Shen Shixing, the governor of Songjiang, and asked His Majesty if he wanted to stop Wang Qian, Wang Qian's methods were too vicious.
The powerful people feel the reincarnation of heaven and hell, the day before they are still rich overnight, the next day they will suffer the catastrophe of bankruptcy, the danger is everywhere, but because of the sunk cost they have to continue to play in this gamble, the cycle of fanaticism, panic, correction, and fanaticism begins.
Wang Qian entered the palace on the 17th day of February in the 10th year of Wanli, and after receiving the clear instructions of the Holy Will, the price of the ship finally stabilized, staying at the price of 17,300 silver each.
It's cruel!
is so cruel that Zhu Yijun can't stand it, Wang Qian is about to break the momentum, the highest price of the boat soared to 70,000 silver, and then quickly fell back to 7,000 silver, what kind of big heart can withstand this kind of ups and downs? These luxury households are still useful, they are still the main force in overseas trade, or the main force in investing in handicraft workshops and mechanical workshops.
On the 15th, Wang Qian entered the palace again, this time he took a pile of acceptance bills of the Ministry of Soldiers, each of which was 10,000 silver, which was the largest denomination of the acceptance bill, and Wang Qian held a full hundred, the people preferred to call the acceptance bill, called the silver bill, and he entered the palace to fulfill his promise.
When it comes to the affairs of the court, Wang Qian is very obedient, his father asked him to donate to the Maritime Academy, Wang Qian did not have any resistance, and happily sent the silver ticket to His Majesty, he enjoyed the process of making money, not for the money, although it was really a lot, but it was because of the emperor's instructions that he dared to be so unscrupulous.
Wang Qian is really not short of money.
"Wang Qian, is it too ruthless, the head of the Jimo Zhang family jumped into the river seven days ago, the entire Zhang family fell apart, the field is gone, and the silver is gone." Zhu Yijun looked at a stack of silver tickets, sighed and said, each silver ticket had blood on it.
Jimo Zhang's family is in Mizhou, Shandong, and it can be regarded as a family that has lasted for hundreds of years, Zhong Ming Dingshi, half of Jimo County is surnamed Zhang, Wang Qian's manipulation of the ship this time, directly broke up the Jimo Zhang family, such a big family, Ling Yunyi started to move, they were all cautious, and after the Zhang family cooperated with Qingzhang, they did not find their trouble.
The Zhang family even escaped the collapse of the Yanzhou Confucian Mansion, and as a result, the Zhang family was planted on the ship.
When the Zhang family earned a large amount of ship guidance at a high price of 70,000 yuan, and then fell to 7,000 taels, the Zhang family's family, an old man in his sixties, was directly angry... A few days later, the new boss of the Zhang family also jumped into the river, because of another violent fluctuation, the Zhang family's savings for hundreds of years were completely lost, and he still owed a lot of debts, 17,000 silver each, and these boats were cleared, which was not enough to repay the debts.
The head of the Zhang family was poor and jumped into the river, and the Zhang family was completely scattered.
"Your Majesty, they deserve it." Wang Qian said disapprerovitously: "If you don't give these luxury households a lesson, they will still feel that the imperial court is too wide and their hands are too long, but they don't know at all, the rules shaped by the imperial court are also protecting them. ”
"Even the Songjiang School does not advocate complete freedom, but the freedom of order."
Wang Qian also went to listen to Lin Fucheng's preaching, on the whole, there is no problem with what Lin Fucheng said, freedom is first of all to abide by the public order and good customs and laws of the Ming Dynasty, if this is not observed, it is not freedom, it is lawlessness.
"You've learned too much." Zhu Yijun rubbed his eyebrows and said, "The means should be gentle." ”
"Your Majesty, this is speculation, they don't even have the courage to break down the door, why do they want to enter?" Wang Qian said with great conviction: "The minister is already very gentle, Your Majesty asked the minister to stop, and the minister stopped, without excessive tossing." ”
"Okay." Zhu Yijun put away the silver and said: "For you to count in the Kaihai investment, you are now a Kaihai investment of 1.12 million silver, and you will share dividends proportionally." ”
"It's cruel."
Zhu Yijun shook his head again, he didn't expect that one day, he would become a conservative in the matter of suffering and being strong, in less than a month, dozens of famous families were hit hard, jumping into the river, hanging themselves, miserable and miserable.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that next, Suiyuan Chidao will rise sharply! The minister is ready to earn 10,000 pieces at the price of five silver pieces each, and hold them for a long time. Wang Qian reported his thoughts, and in his opinion, Chidao will rise faster than the mining industry.
"Why?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously: "It should be gold, silver, copper, iron and coal that is more important, why is it Chidao?" ”
"Because of the profits, gold, silver, copper, iron and coal will of course rise, but the mining industry will rise limitedly, and because of the fluctuation of demand, but the gallop will not, Your Majesty, where is the carriage on the gallop, it is clearly the silver of white flowers!" Wang Qian said with great certainty: "Daming may not need gold, silver, copper, iron and coal, but it must need to gallop." ”
"The minister himself is ready to throw all this money into the gallop."
"Half a million silver, not a little." Zhu Yijun first corrected Wang Qian's statement, 500,000 silver is buried in the mausoleum of the first emperor, it is really not a matter of one or two points, this statement is too extravagant.
"Actually, your father has earned you a big foundation, you don't need to work so hard, the money you earn from the pearl is enough for you to spend for a lifetime, and now the money earned by the ship, you now have more than 500,000 silver in your hand, and one Taibailou Oiran a day is enough for you to spend two lifetimes." Zhu Yijun persuaded Wang Qian not to work hard.
"Father's money is father's money, the minister's money is the minister's money is the minister's money, after the minister became a jinshi, he didn't take much money from home, and the minister didn't want others to say, oh, Wang Chonggu's son, but said, Wang Qian, Daming Jinshi." Wang Qian shook his head, of course he recognized his father's achievements, but he still wanted to distinguish the difference.
He Wang Qian is not only the son of Wang Chonggu, he is an independent individual, he also has his own life, not a life completely dependent on "My Criminal Department Shangshu Father", that kind of life is really too sad.
Zhu Yijun was silent for a moment, and the rebel son is about like this.
"You may be looking for some kind of freedom?" Zhu Yijun thought of Lin Fucheng, and asked Wang Qian with a smile if he was looking for freedom.
Wang Qian thought for a while, and replied very seriously: "The minister thinks that not letting parents worry is a kind of freedom and filial piety, of course, not letting parents worry, parents no longer interfere too much in their children's lives, but in the same way, parents do not have to toss and turn for their children's future lives, it is also filial piety." ”
Freedom is not a foreign concept, for example, Zhuangzi has a theory of being at ease, but the freedom of the Songjiang school does have something to do with Taixi, and Wang Qian links freedom with the inherent filial piety of Confucianism.
Settling yourself well and not letting your parents worry too much is freedom and filial piety.
In fact, Wang Qian sometimes feels that His Majesty is a little pitiful, this kind of pity, there is a kind of funny feeling that the poor son of the maid in the family has a bad life, but Wang Qian stands on the position of being powerful and arrogant, and from the position of being a minister and a son of man, he really feels that His Majesty is pitiful.
When His Majesty was more than ten years old, he didn't let the Empress Dowager Li and the Empress Dowager Chen worry, ten years like a day of frugality, ten years like a day than a donkey who worked hard, sometimes when Wang Qian faced His Majesty, there was an illusion of facing the old man at home.
Wang Qian lived to the age of almost forty before he understood that it was filial piety not to worry his parents.
His Majesty seems to have understood very early on that it is true that life and death are a privilege of supremacy in the world, but the weight of the country and society has made His Majesty bear the burden that should not be borne at this age.
There is a give-and-take, a cycle of cause and effect.
"Good." Zhu Yijun didn't know Wang Qian's psychological activities, Wang Chonggu finally didn't have to worry too much about the future of the child, it is true that since Wang Qian won the Jinshi, in fact, he rarely made some fatal mistakes, with the power of the Wang family, Wang Qian did not kill people and set fires, it was enough to live a peaceful and happy life.
Wang Qian's judgment was quickly verified to be correct, not that the galloping tickets of the trading houses soared into the sky, but that the governors of various places played one after another to ask for policy support.
There is a mine in Suiyuan, and the governors agreed with the first Chi Road, but the other two capitals and 13 provinces, should they also build Chi Road?
Other governors also need the support of the imperial court, and this Nanya is the happiest!
You have repaired five in the north, and we in the land of Longxing in the south, as one of the two capitals, can we also repair five?
From the South Ya to the North Ya, from the South Ya to Xiangyang, from the South Ya to Songjiang, from the South Ya to Fujian, from the South Ya to Guangzhou, we also have to repair the South Ya! You don't need your court to contribute money and efforts, the work of repairing bridges and roads, Nanya built it himself!
Zhu Yijun looked at the admonitions of the officials of the six departments of the Southern Ya, and scratched his head, the new governor of Yingtian, Li Le, the first fire in office, burned directly to the Beiya, and asked the emperor for permission to raise his own plans to repair the road.
After Zhu Yijun received the recital, he summoned Zhang Juzheng and Wang Daokun.
"Is Nan Ya so rich?" Zhu Yijun frowned and said.
Zhang Juzheng said a little helplessly: "It stands to reason that there is no money, but in the past two years, the tax office has retained five million silver. ”
"These five million taels of silver are considered to be the silver deposits of the old treasury, if they encounter floods in the south, waterway dredging and other things, they can be directly called, Pan Butang is honest and honest, and the management is quite perfect, but it has not been embezzled."
It is said that it is the silver of the South Ya, but it is just a warehouse, and the call is still the final word of the North Ya, so Li Le wants to repair the Chi Road, and has the permission of the imperial court, although the two capitals are side by side, but the emperor is in the North Ya, and the six departments of the South Ya actually have no power.
"Is it necessary for Nan Ya to repair Chi Road? Aren't the waterways that extend in all directions enough? Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Daokun, this time it was the Nanya who was having a lot of fun and talking, Zhu Yijun mainly felt that the waterway in the south was unimpeded, and the repair of the road was a bit ineffective.
Chidao is 9600 silver, if there are many bridges, the price will have to rise, Zhu Yijun is worried that the steps will be too big to pull the egg.
"Yes, it is necessary." Wang Daokun said with certainty: "Your Majesty, the waterways extend in all directions, this is a fact, but not all commodities are by the river, Daming is really too big, it is obvious on the map that those waterways are actually just a thin line." ”
Not all commodities are produced by the river, so the requirements for Xiuchi Road are very normal, and Nanya Water Township is not only a waterway.
As far as the Wanli decade is concerned, the road network of the Southern Ya is far denser than that of the Northern Ya.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry is planning a gallop road from Beijing to Guangzhou, from Beijing to Wuhan, and after Wuhan, then south to Guangzhou." Wang Daokun said quite precisely: "The total length of the road is 4,570 miles, the expected cost is 44 million silver, and the construction period is expected to be five years. ”
"Stop, stop!" Zhu Yijun immediately said: "44 million silver, Da Sikong, you just sold me, and I don't have so much silver!" These 4,500 miles, how many people need to be requisitioned, this is a critical construction of the dynasty, no, no plan. ”
The Ministry of Industry is really too extravagant, as soon as it opens its mouth, it is 44 million silver, which is the mausoleum of 88 first emperors, which is a real big construction, that is, it is calculated by the imperial tomb of Emperor Wanli, and there are as many as 5 and a half!
Where did the Ming Dynasty get so much money and so many people to build a gallop road of this scale, which is the reincarnation of Emperor Yang of Sui.
"You can issue certificates in the trading bank, mainly to solve the waste of silver idling, and Chidao is also a kind of fixed assets." Wang Daokun said without giving up: "Your Majesty, if you don't repair it now, let Dr. Gewu go to the mapping and determine the path along the way, and then start construction in multiple sections, looking forward to completing it in five years." ”
"In five years, the annual investment will exceed 8.8 million silver, and our Daming military expenditure is only 11 million silver a year." Zhu Yijun is still not allowed, this scale of investment needs to be done when the silver is more sufficient, the Ming fiscal revenue is more, and the number of people in the Ming Dynasty is larger.
Wang Daokun immediately said: "Let's draw a survey first, and when you have money, you can start construction immediately." ”
"Your Majesty, if you borrow money, the court will not pay it back." Zhang Juzheng said in a low voice, when the treasury bonds were issued and the Yanxinglou trading house was expanded, Zhang Juzheng said so, what does it matter if he has been scolded for ten years as a traitor?
Both Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu are slowly aging, and when the time comes, put the mess on them, and Your Majesty will be able to move forward lightly.
It sounds like a beautiful rhetoric, but Zhu Yijun thinks that this is to exchange the reputation of the imperial court for silver, and there is no need to do it at all.
"Jingguang Chidao, it's not too late to discuss, let's talk about how to deal with the requirements of this Nanya and the governors of various places." Zhu Yijun leaned back in his chair and said: "It is not enough to rely on the court alone, but it is even more difficult to rely on the place alone. ”
Relying on the local government alone, the Ming Dynasty directly became a feudal town, relying on the imperial court alone, the imperial court has no money, Zhu Yijun just agreed with Wang Daokun's statement, and it is impossible for the household department to agree, the principle of the household department is not to borrow if you can, and if you can do it, you will not raise debts, and any large amount of expenditures will wait for Suiyuan to complete the repair, and then it will not be too late.
It is true that in the eyes of most people in the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty's reputation is equal to the reputation of the imperial court, but since the Jiajing period after the state treasury was completely separated, there is no such equal relationship.
This is true of most state affairs, and this is not good, and that is not good, we can only find a way that may not be the best, but is suitable for the current situation.
"It is advisable to dismiss the governor's request altogether for the time being." Zhang Juzheng thought about it again and again, and chose a one-size-fits-all approach, cutting through the mess quickly, he continued: "Your Majesty, the five galloping roads from the Beijing division have just been repaired, how to manage them, what impact will they cause, whether the banknote customs and lottery bureau can be operated, whether the system needs to be improved, we all need to look again, and the local government should not intervene too early, this is an opportunity for villains to take advantage of." ”
And the most important thing is that the system of the engineer battalion needs to be seriously examined, and every four engineer battalions form a regimental battalion, and the five gallop roads are all built by the engineer battalion.
Zhang Juzheng mainly wants to take a look at it again, in fact, he has to look at these six engineer regiments and battalions, so that he will reject the requests of these governors as a whole, and if he doesn't get it, the world will be in chaos, the military cantonment guard system in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty has long been corrupted and clean, and the organization of the soldiers in the hinterland is far inferior to the border army, not to mention the Beijing camp.
The construction of Chi Road in various places means that it is necessary to form an engineer regiment battalion, otherwise it can only be done according to Wang Qian's words, and let the localities buy and build by themselves.
Zhu Yijun thought for a while, nodded and said, "If it is true, it will be according to what Mr. said." ”
Take a look again, look at the impact of Chidao, Chidao's revenue capacity, if it is really necessary, then repair him in all directions!
If there is no decisive impact on the present, it can be suspended.
If you take a big step, you will definitely get an egg, which is something that Zhu Yijun knows very well.
"Where are the Pan Butang people?" Zhu Yijun inquired about the process of Pan Ji's taming into Sui.
"Arrived in Guihua City, just arrived at the place, beheaded 1,300 people, a group of horse bandits attacked and harassed Dongshengwei, was repelled by the Dongshengwei guards, and then found the old nest, annihilated all these horse bandits, captured 700 people, according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, killing prisoners is ominous, originally planned to be sent to Womagang to open a mine, but in the end Pan Butang still killed people." Zhang Juzheng handed a copy of the book to Feng Bao.
Pan Jitao's matter, in fact, is very taboo, Suiyuan was originally a newly recovered territory, although His Majesty gave him the right to act cheaply, first cut and then play, but this time it was 1,300 people, and the heads were rolling, and the court was notified how much.
It is said that this Lingyun Wing is very murderous, and this Pan Jitao has not let go since that locust plague.
Zhu Yijun finished reading the recital, and said very accurately: "This right to act cheaply, give it right, if you don't deal with this matter, I'm afraid it will not be conducive to the stability of Suiyuan." ”
Pan Jitao is not a lack of brains, if it is not an emergency, he will not be cut first, these prisoners were escorted to the naturalization city, the next day, the prisoner camp was crowded with naturalized border people, Pan Jitao just arrived and thought that he was not satisfied with Wang Hua Diao Minsheng's affairs, under careful questioning, only to know that it was the border people who made a political envoy to behead all these prisoners.
Without him, this group of horse bandits, like to skin people, is the notorious Huhu horse bandits in Xiangliang Mountain, for more than ten years near the city of naturalization, Altan Khan also tried to exterminate, but several times failed to succeed, and because of the buffer zone of the Ming and Altan Khan forces, belongs to the kind of two-regardless zone, so it has developed and grown, these more than ten years, there is no less Huohuo border people, but all border people, basically with the Huhu horse bandits with blood feuds.
The political envoy Sanniangzi really tried his best to appease and hear about the court, but the matter became bigger and bigger, and the border people gathered more and more, and if they gathered again, I was afraid that they would impact the prisoner camp, and it would be even more difficult to end at that time.
700 people were captured, and 1,300 people were killed, and the extra 600 people were the Datong Left Guard Border Army who attacked again and destroyed a cottage, and captured another 400 people, and 200 people, who were the Huhu horse bandits in the naturalized city.
The horse bandits outside the Ming Dynasty are slightly different from the mountain bandits in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, many of the bandits in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty are powerful and right-hand thugs, and there are naturally people who kill people, and the imperial court will inevitably send troops to suppress the bandits, so the mountain bandits in the hinterland are still restrained, but the horse bandits outside the Ming Dynasty are not only burning, killing and looting, but also skinning people and hanging them in front of the gate of the naturalized city, showing off their might, and being extremely cruel.
"Altan Khan can't help this gang of killers, Da Ming can, Da Ming has no way to attack Bansheng, these horse bandits still dare to move! Well done Pan Butang. Zhu Yijun is very satisfied with Pan Jitao's disposal, this is the reason why he wants to act cheaply for Pan Jitao, the newly recovered territory, there are many contradictions, the contradictions intensify quickly, and there are many things that have to be decided immediately.
Zhu Yijun gave Pan Jitao policy support, and he did it boldly, and he couldn't beat the iron hooves of Jingying and stepped on it again.
Qi Jiguang has the right to act cheaply, and Pan Jitao also has the right to act cheaply, so if there is a conflict between the two sides, who has more power?
It was Qi Jiguang who had the power to kill Pan Jitao, because Qi Jiguang was holding the emperor's saber, which was used by Zhu Yijun for Qi Jiguang's self-defense, and what he prevented was the conspiracy from behind him.
It's not that Zhu Yijun guarded against Pan Jitao, and when he gave the knife, he hadn't confirmed the candidate for the governor of Suiyuan, but Zhu Yijun's jealousy of Wenchen from the bottom of his heart.
