Chapter 508: The wolf is really coming, and it's menacing

Hai Rui originally wanted to give an example of Wang Chonggu, but it has been ten years, and His Majesty has also said that the past is in the past, after all, it has been liquidated, so Hai Rui gave an example of Wan Shihe.

"It's not interesting, I mean the great uncle is virtuous." Hai Rui looked at Wan Shihe and said very confidently, he was not saying bad things about Wan Shihe, but complimenting, but the way of complimenting was strange.

Just like Wan Shihe, who is so soft, and only knows how to slap his beard all day long, he has his own bottom line and persistence, this is the current atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty, the Qingming world of political and clean people, Hai Rui really thinks that it is above the three generations of Confucianism, and that's it.

This kind of clear atmosphere in the court is precious.

"Humph!" Wan Shihe no longer cares about it after all, he has actually been avoiding conflicts with Hai Rui, after all, he is not a gentleman, and Hai Rui is indeed a gentleman, and he really has no chance of winning.

Wan Shihe thought about it, Hai Rui was also telling the truth, the softest figure of Da Ming was him, Wan Shihe.

Hai Rui doesn't think that there are bad people in the courtiers, because since the test was completed, the change of the promotion mechanism of the Ming Dynasty, the people who can go to the Wenhua Hall and the position of the courtiers are all tested for a long time, and there is no motive to protect the pirates, a group of rotten people, and the blessing will only be punished by God.

The emperor is not suspicious of the courtiers, but to give a chance, at least the courtiers should not be so embarrassed, and the credibility of the court also needs to be maintained by everyone.

Zhang Juzheng talked about the disaster of the party, and once said: The most regrettable and tragic person is to spend extremely precious time, the day is spent in internal strife, the middle danger is full of dangers, everyone is unconscious, the government and the opposition are in vain about right and wrong, fighting for the sake of fighting, and the bystanders can not say a word, the order is changed and the law does not bind the people, the people do not obey the law, the state affairs are corrupted, and the whimper is lamented.

"I hope so. The princes can sigh that they are good at seeking their lives, and they are not a Qin at that time, and they hope that you will take it as a warning, and this kind of stinky behavior for thousands of years must not be contaminated. Zhu Yijun said with emotion.

This is a poem by Lu You, scolding Qin Hui, the words are extremely spicy, the court is above the Gong Gong, only for his own official position, his own pleasure, but he completely ignores the righteousness of the family and the country, regardless of the life or death of the people, only cares about his life, so that the situation is corrupted to such a point, is there only one Qin Hui who misleads the country in the court?

Even Qin Hui can't bear the responsibility, so who else is the sinner of history? Naturally, it was Zhao Gou.

Zhu Yijun warned the Ming Dynasty ministers that he didn't want to be Zhao Gou, and the ministers didn't want to be Qin Hui, for the sake of competing interests, they could tear up, but betraying the interests of the Ming Dynasty was betrayal.

"Your Majesty respectfully obeys His Majesty's commandments." Zhang Juzheng led the ministers to bow their heads.

This is an exhortation, an admonition, and a warning.

"Don't worry about the great uncle, I know the heart of the great uncle who is loyal to the monarch and the country." Zhu Yijun relieved Wan Shihe, for the great uncle, Hai Rui's attitude has never been important, what matters is the emperor's attitude.

Wan Shihe and Hai Rui are two sides, Hai Rui is the emperor's direct minister who has a mistake to speak out, and Wan Shihe is the emperor's wrong and right minister, Zhu Yijun has made it clear to the courtiers more than once that the court needs a Wanshi and such a panacea, Wan Shihe, everything is precious, so that the contradiction will not intensify to the point of being out of control.

Zhang Dang and Jin Dang are fighting so fiercely, a little carelessness is the disaster of the party, and many things need such a person to be in the middle Zhang Luo.

"Your Majesty, thank you, for your own righteousness." Wan Shihe bowed his head again and thanked him, it never mattered what Hai Rui thought of him, His Majesty the Emperor's attitude was very important to him.

"Nanya formed seven battalions of engineer regiments, which required 600 steam engines." Zhang Juzheng looked at Li Le's recital in his hand, and said with a very embarrassed face, Li Le is his subordinate, and it stands to reason that Zhang Juzheng, as a teacher, should find a way to meet Li Le's requirements.

But Li Le asked too much, Daming only had 1,000 steam engines a year, and Li Le wanted 600.

Wang Chonggu's face immediately changed when he heard this, and he said loudly: "Impossible, don't even think about it, there are so many official factories in the Ming Dynasty, Henan, Shandong, and Gyeonggi have engineer regiment battalions, and he said that he wanted 600 units, so he gave him 600 units?" Why don't you move the steam engine factory to Nanya! Queue up! ”

Is that a steam engine? That's the productivity you want!

This year's steam engines have been allocated, and Li Le wants to go wherever he wants, but the imperial court does not!

Not to mention 600 units, it is a great trouble to transfer one from anyone, and the lion opened his mouth.

Wang Chonggu and Li Le still have a bit of grievances, when the big hole built by the Great Wall of Xuanda was exposed, Wang Chonggu planned to plug the hole, and Zhang Siwei corrupted Li Le, as a result, Li Le played a dark Chen Cang, and deceived the entire Jin Party, Li Le was in the light, Wu Baipeng was in the dark, and the Jin Party was turned upside down.

"Give him three hundred." Zhang Juzheng still has to fight for his subordinates, after all, Li Le needs to quickly increase productivity, resettle the poor coolies who have just been discharged, and the slavery in Nanya is more dangerous than other places.

Wang Chonggu immediately said: "No! I don't have one here. ”

"Is there one in Da Sikong?" Zhang Juzheng also ignored Wang Chonggu and asked about Wang Daokun.

Wang Daokun is bitter in his heart, you Yuanfu and Cifu are fighting, don't take him with him, the end of the six departments, he is just a Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, you immortals fight, he is a mortal who suffers, he looked left and right and said: "At most a hundred units." ”

"Where did it come from?" Wang Chonggu frowned, Daming will produce a total of 1,000 units this year, where each one is placed, he knows clearly, the Xishan Coal Bureau needs more steam engines, where did the Ministry of Industry get a hundred units?

Wang Daokun opened his mouth and said: "The production has been expanded. ”

Wang Daokun is the leader of the Zhejiang Party, he is actually not very afraid of Wang Chonggu, but he is more afraid of Zhang Juzheng, and finally chose to compromise and gave Li Le 100 units, which can be regarded as a compromise.

Wang Chonggu was angry, looked at Wang Daokun and Zhang Juzheng, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's all about the imperial court, but I just don't understand, why don't I know anything about such a big expansion of production?" That's 7.5 steam engines, 100 horses, 2,000 horses! ”

"It's sixteen horsepower." Wang Daokun looked at Wang Chonggu and added, under the guidance of the Royal Gewu Academy, the steam engine factory of the War Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty has recently started a workshop to build a sixteen-horsepower steam engine, and the original workshop will also be upgraded.

The Ministry of Industry hopes to achieve an annual output of 2,000 units and 16 horsepower steam engines by next spring.

The steam engine can operate continuously in addition to maintenance, but the livestock cannot, and the livestock need to rest, so it is generally believed that the effect of a steam engine is equal to three horses.

Sixteen horsepower and 2,000 units, and a steam engine factory in the War Bureau, is equivalent to 100,000 horses a year.

This is still the expected generation of the eleventh year of Wanli, what about the twenty-first year of Wanli? How many horses can the Ming Dynasty build in a year?

According to the iterative speed of the steam engine and the construction speed of the Daming workshop, it will not take a few years for two thousand to become twenty thousand, and sixteen horses will also increase rapidly.

"Whew! Give it to him, give it to him! Wang Chonggu waved his hand impatiently, Zhang Juzheng's face still has to be given, mainly in the distribution of steam engines next year, Zhang Juzheng has to return this face.

Zhang Juzheng got rid of Wang Chonggu, who was making trouble, bowed his head and said, "What does Your Majesty think? ”

"Nanya's situation is extremely complicated, and Li Le has also tried his best, so give it to him." Zhu Yijun approved Zhang Juzheng's suggestion.

The court conquered Suiyuan, Pan Jitao took the initiative to ask Ying to leave Yingtianfu, went to Shengzhou to eat loess, Li Le's foundation is insufficient, the deterrence is not enough, Pan Jitao in the third year of Wanli Jiangxi locust plague, but shouted out that if you don't get food, you will bow down, and if you don't give food to help the people, you will die together, and the killing is great, when Pan Jitao is here, Nan Ya is bound to be Haoyou, and he doesn't dare to make a time, Pan Jitao is gone, and he wants to be right, can he give Li Le eye medicine?

This time, Jiangnan's completely liberal faction is the eye medicine, but before the imperial court can make a move, there is a mess of Gosochi.

If the imperial court doesn't give support anymore, Li Le, the governor of Yingtian, will not do it.

"Southwest Movement." Zhang Ju said solemnly: "The king of Donghu has no deference in Mangyingli, and he has repeatedly shouted to attack the Ming Dynasty in Diwura (that is, Donghu City), Longchuan Tusi Yue Feng and his son Yue Xiwu, Gengma Tusi Hanqian brothers, Nandian Tusi Dao Luoshen, Mangshi Tusi Fangzhengtang and Mangyingli's uncle Mengbei, younger brother Ava and others, each led elephant soldiers to threaten Lei Lane, Zhanda, Ganya, Sidian and others. ”

Daming is the kingdom of the Celestial Empire, Donghu a southwest Fanyi, in the Yongle, Xuande years, Donghu is still the Ming Dynasty's Diwu Xuanwei Division, before the governor of Yunnan in the song, constantly said that the southwest has changed, but the court is somewhat inappropriate, plus the governor of Yunnan has been saying, just like the wolf is coming to shout too much, everyone disagrees.

But now, the wolf is really coming, and it's menacing.

"No, his father didn't dare to try his edge lightly, how dare he be reckless?" Wan Shihe said with an extremely complicated expression: "This is an attack on the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, the Heavenly Empire, doesn't he know what he is doing?" ”

Zhang Juzheng also said a little dazedly: "I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't figure it out. ”

Let's just say that Mang Yinglong is dead, Mang Yingli succeeds to the throne, and the throne is unstable, shouldn't he find a soft persimmon to pinch? Even if you go to the Governor's Mansion of Goa! It's better than fighting with Daming!

The Ming Dynasty had just defeated the Goa Governor's Palace, and Zhang Yuanxun was so powerful that even the envoy of the Goa Governor's Mansion was so desperate that he ended his life.

How unclear is this in Mang Yingli, so he can take Daming Liwei?

When normal people hear about the Ming Dynasty's victory in the Strait of Malacca, they should know that they are afraid, and if the foundation of Mangying is unstable, they should pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty in order to obtain the canonization of the Ming Dynasty and maintain the stability of their thrones, which is the basic practice of many vassal states of the Ming Dynasty.

The throne sits like sitting on pins and needles, and it goes to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute, a canonized holy decree is better than thousands of troops, even if the ambition of the ambitious person is great, he must also consider the reaction of the Ming Dynasty, even if it is a statue of a god, it must be erected, and the incense is offered every day.

But Mang Yingli is not like this, he has to test whether Da Ming's knife is really sharp.

"It's a pity that Mang Yinglong has fought a lifetime and established the foundation." Wang Chonggu inexplicably thought of his rebellious son Wang Qian, but no matter how rebellious Wang Qian was, he had never done such a thing against Tiangang, when Wang Chonggu beat him, Wang Qian didn't dare to fight back and could only run away.

"The Southwest Yousi has already begun to march into the army, and the fight should have started at this time." Zhang Juzheng talked about the actions of Mu Changzuo, the Duke of Qianguo, and Liu Shizeng, the governor of Yunnan, rather than waiting for the enemy to attack, it was better to fight directly, the imperial court was too far away from Yunnan, and Liu Shizeng had already invited the holy decree to admonish Mang Yingli before.

Zhu Yijun looked at the courtiers, shook his head and said: "Mang Yingli lightly provoked the border, Da Ming will inevitably fight back, he can decide the beginning of the war, but how the war will end, it is not what Mang Yingli can decide, I hope he will not regret his move to provoke Da Ming today in the future." ”

"Zhang Yuanxun, the governor of Jiugang, is waiting for the opportunity to act cheaply."

The Governor's Mansion is a guest soldier and a tooth soldier, all of which are recruited by the Governor's Palace, and then with the guest soldiers as the core, recruit sailors, outlaws, and Haikou who go to sea as tooth soldiers, which is a typical sub-feudal system, and the Daming Naval Division is mainly deployed in the five hinterland cities, so it can only be Zhang Yuanxun who attacks.

Guest soldiers and tooth soldiers are not afraid of war, they are afraid that there will be no war, and if there is no war, they will not be captured, there will be no reward, and they may even be disbanded.

As for when Zhang Yuanxun will cooperate with the Qianguo Mansion and kill Donghu, the Ming court is so far away, and the understanding of the situation is too lagging behind, so it is better to hand it over to the front line.

"Reckless Yingli will definitely regret it." Zeng Xingwu received the holy will and said with great certainty: "It would be good if Daming didn't trouble him, and the Duke of Qianguo was anxiously waiting to prove the necessity of guarding the southwest." ”

Yunnan Tusi is much less than Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangxi, Yunnan is subordinate to the Qianguo Mansion of the military tun guard, but the Ming Dynasty has been opened up for two hundred years, the role of the Qianguo Mansion, has been gradually ignored, on the contrary, the governor often plays the impeachment of the Qianguo Mansion and the annexation of the public, the Qianguo Mansion also needs a big war to prove its role.

Mang Yingli was sent to the door.

Since the Ming Dynasty completely withdrew from Jiaozhi and the reinstatement of the Annan Kingdom, the small countries in the southwest all felt that the Ming Dynasty was a soft persimmon, and everyone wanted to pinch it.

Da Situ Wang Guoguang opened his mouth and said: "Judging from the census of Shandong, Nanya and other places, more than eighty percent of the people in Daming are still in abject poverty, for the poor, the family has less than ten acres of land, there is no way to make a living, there is no land to cultivate, even if it is the city where businessmen gather, Songjiang Mansion, the place where department stores are instilled, the poor people are burdened with their shoulders, and the money they look for every day is only enough for food and clothing, and there is no other wealth to spare. ”

"In the event of wind, frost, rain and snow, the family does not eat for fear of being empty, and only drinks water in the cold alley, hoping for a sunny day."

Wang Guoguang's topic is too heavy, so that after finishing speaking, no one spoke in the Ming courtiers for a long time, Ming, more than eighty percent of the people are poor and extremely poor, this is still Shandong, Nanya, it is considered a rich land, if it is in those barren places?

The situation will only get worse.

There is a detail in Wang Guoguang's words, that is, when the weather changes and they can't work, the people don't eat at home, they only drink water and pray for a sunny day, and when the sky clears, they will give the laborers food and go out to make money.

The people of Daming are still very bitter.

"And." Wang Guoguang knew the heaviness of this topic, and he was a little hesitant.

The new policy of the Ming Dynasty has been implemented for ten years, the Ming court has gradually been fully utilized, and the Ming army is also victorious, expanding the territory for thousands of miles, restoring all the territory of the North Parallel Capital Division and Hetao, and the Ming Dynasty has also opened up to Jilin in Liaodong, and opened up the four major governors' mansions overseas.

Did the New Deal work? Yes, obviously.

Wang Guoguang's words, on the contrary, pierced this superficial prosperity, the situation of the Ming Dynasty, is still shocking, miserable, the census of Dingkou, eighty percent of the life is difficult, this is the court no matter what, even here, Wang Guoguang has not stopped, he still has something to say.

"Also, in the countryside, more than ninety percent of them are poor, but the city is slightly better." Wang Guoguang has pierced the flowers, and there is nothing to be afraid of, and then he has punctured the lie, the illusion of self-sufficiency in the countryside, and there are always people who describe the countryside under the small peasant economy as serene as a paradise, but in fact it is not peaceful, very poor.

The phenomenon of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer is even more common in the countryside, where the village sages and gentry turn everyone into poor people and become the de facto emperor of the soil.

Zhu Yijun looked at the courtiers without saying a word, and said: "Return the field, you still have to do it, you can't do it if you don't do it." ”

The Ming Dynasty actually has a way to solve it, and history has long given the answer, every dynastic reincarnation is the redistribution of production labor.

Zhang Juzheng took out the return of the field, but he did not agree very much, Wang Chonggu opposed, but he still carried out a part, with the help of the ship, collected a batch of land, and the courtiers were also generally opposed, and Wang Guoguang said these things, in the end, there is only one way to alleviate this contradiction, change the relations of production, and redistribute the means of production.

Wang Chonggu saw that no one answered, and scolded Zhang Juzheng for being too cunning, he was doing things, His Majesty said, only he answered, Wang Chonggu said stubbornly: "Your Majesty, the world is tired, but it is still necessary to build a city of ten kings, move the feudal domain into Beijing, take the engineering regiment battalion as the backbone, and make the flesh and blood for the official factory regiment. ”

"It's the people who suffer, Your Majesty originally intended to relieve the trapped of living beings, if the war is everywhere, I'm afraid that the law of returning to the field will have no effect."

"Hmm." Zhu Yijun nodded, agreeing with Wang Chonggu's statement.

Governing a big country, the more urgent it is, the worse it is, there is no long-term planning, and it is embarrassing to say that it is the Celestial Empire? Returning to the field naturally wants to do it, but it is also a little bit of it, and the big step must pull to the crotch.

The court is always noisy and boring, His Royal Highness King Daming Lu has lived his life behind closed doors since his wedding, Zhu Yijun is still a donkey in the mill, every decision of the court must be printed by Zhu Yijun personally, and everything must be done before acting, and it needs to be treated carefully.

The household department heard about the progress of the census of Dingkou in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and after the trouble, the speed of the census of Dingkou was accelerating; The Criminal Department has heard of three difficult cases, all of which are relatively typical cases, which will affect the revision of the Ming Guild Code; The Ministry of Rites published a new volume of overseas national chronicles, and Gao Qiyu wrote his experience in Taixi into "Sending Xi Heart Record" to record Taixi's bizarreness;

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry jointly played the construction progress of the Suiyuan Chi Road, everything is going according to plan, and even the progress in many places exceeds expectations, the project is in place, the speed of the project can naturally keep up, the Ten Kings City has been cleaned and leveled, the foundation has been excavated, the coordination of the officials and factories has been completed, and the masonry and stone civil engineering have begun to be transferred.

The Ministry of Officials and the Imperial Court have made a list, and the happy stele forest outside the Chaoyang Gate has seventeen more inscriptions, and this time the imperial history of the Jingtang Imperial Procuratorate was full of stories from the outer room of the Imperial History of the Beijing Hall, and after all, the seventeen corrupt officials were pointed, and their deeds will remain on the inscription.

The Happy Stele Forest has now become a scenic spot, and the students who enter Beijing have to go inside to observe a circle, because they may be able to get the test, which is considered to be a collection of materials.

The imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate begged bitterly, Your Majesty don't let them carry water, the face of the scholar doctor was lost, and he was pointed at, Zhu Yijun was unmoved, and only said that if he didn't want to do it, he could go home, and as soon as the official hat was taken off, the official seal could be put away.

Tossing the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate is not Zhu Yijun's bad taste, but to let them get a little grounded, don't talk about their hearts and minds all day long, do something serious, as an important error correction force in the Ming Dynasty, what kind of system will it become?

"Yesterday, the governor of Songjiang, Shen Shixing, heard that the main body of the Youlong has been completed, and it is scheduled to go to sea on August 15, and then conduct a two-month aerial survey, and around October 15, he will go to Tianjin Wei with the Daming Naval Division to accept His Majesty's inspection." Wang Daokun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, reported an exciting news that Daming's fast sailing ship can be launched!

It's just that the warship Feiyun was launched early, and it may even be postponed, and it encountered engineering difficulties to overcome.

"Good!" Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, slow work is not in a hurry, it is not advisable to rush for quick success, the construction period has been advanced by a year, I can wait until next summer, I only hope that the fast sailing ship can become a powerful help for Daming Sea Trade." ”

The faster and more goods travel between the oceans, the faster the transformation of the small-scale peasant economy into a commodity economy in the Ming Dynasty, and the current situation of abject poverty in the countryside can be changed.

Sixteen horsepower steam engines, in fact, can tell a story, fast sailing ships can also tell a story, Zhu Yijun really intends to harvest in the trading house, these are two stories, even if it is the power to stand up to these two huge sickles? It's hard, I'm afraid.

But Zhu Yijun didn't talk about it, and the reason why he didn't talk about it was not because he had a good heart, but because he didn't want the gap between trading and the evil of human nature to slip.

Wang Chonggu reported on the construction of the three-level school of the lower engineer regiment battalion, which has been rolled out in various engineer regiment battalions, but education has always been ten years of trees and a hundred years of cultivating people, and there are not too many achievements in the short term.

After the news of the small-scale mass production of sixteen steam engines was announced, the ticket price of Suiyuan Chidao rose a lot, Wang Qian was optimistic about Chidao from the beginning, and invested all his silver in Chidao, and now sell it, Wang Qian will make a profit of more than 20%, but Wang Qian still holds, not sells.

After the court discussion, Zhu Yijun finished reading the newly revised Overseas Chronicles, which was written about England, and the description of England in it took a sharp turn.

Originally, the Ministry of Rites did not have a low evaluation of the English, because last year completed the global voyage, this kind of behavior is worthy of recognition, this is bravery, is exploration, but with the privateer license policy promulgated by the Queen of England, the evaluation of the English by the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty has changed sharply, and it has been on the same level as the Japanese State, and criticized the cruel oppression of the Scots by the English.

The Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty suspected that the Spanish envoy was deliberately speaking ill of England, and it was not until the English envoy George, who complacently affirmed that the privateering license was a genius invention, that the Ministry of Rites finally revised this volume of the Overseas Chronicles.

Those who encourage the pirates are the crumbs of the world.

The Ming Dynasty is a traditional land power power, and because of the troubles in the southeast, the British are extremely disgusted with the Haikou, and the English encourage the Haikou, so they are gradually distancing themselves from the Ming Dynasty.

"Hasn't anyone come to Fu Que yet?" Zhu Yijun put away the overseas national chronicles and asked curiously.

It is already so insulting to go to the street to carry water, and the officials of the Jiajing Dynasty who are ambushing the que at every turn, this has been making trouble for so long, and no one has come to the que.

Feng Bao smiled and said, "Your Majesty is waiting here, they don't dare to come." ”

Jiajing Dynasty dared to make such a fuss, because Dao Ye didn't have a knife in his hand, especially after the death of Ti Shuai Lu Bingxue, Dao Ye had nothing to do with those Fu Que officials, and now he didn't dare to make such a fuss, because he knew that if he made trouble, something big would happen, and His Majesty thought about it.

Zhu Yijun shook his sleeves, shook his head and said, "It's boring." ”

"It's better to go to the street to fetch water than to go to Suiyuan to eat sand." Feng Bao still knows the mentality of the Confucians very well.

It's still not worth it, at that time, the bigger the trouble, the better, the greater the reputation, the faster the promotion, as long as you can get the court staff, it is a steady progress, and now the test has been implemented for ten years, and His Majesty's court staff will really kill people.

Zhu Yijun went to the Beida Camp to parade military horses, and pulled King Lu, who was immersed in the gentle township, to the Beida Camp.

"Let's go and watch the excitement with me." After Zhu Yijun washed, he was ready to take Zhu Yijun to take a look at the excitement.

"What's the excitement?" Zhu Yiyi asked curiously.

Zhu Yijun tidied up his clothes and said: "Lin Fucheng and a person named Gu Gongxie have been arguing in the miscellaneous newspapers recently, and the two have made an appointment to meet in Taibai Building today. ”

"If you don't go, what's so good about watching the big quarrel? It's better to watch people wrestle on the school field. Zhu Yiyi shook his head like a rattle, and he didn't know why His Majesty liked to watch people quarrel.

(End of chapter)
