Wang Chonggu firmly believed that the emperor's establishment of the Royal Institute of Technology would not cause any bad consequences, and these usually crazy scholars and doctors would only shout two sentences before they would die down, and it turned out that Wang Chonggu thought too much.

When the six departments under the chapter, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the six science corridors discussed together, His Majesty's edict did not even cause any opposition.

No one in the six ministries objected to this matter, because the problem of the shortage of talents in the Ming Dynasty deeply affected each of the six ministries.

The Ministry of Industry bears the brunt, this is the shortage of talents caused by the government and factory group manufacturing and large-scale production, and only by cultivating talents can the industry of Daming flourish;

Naturally, the household is for more goods, more money;

The Criminal Department is naturally happy to see the vigorous development of the Ming industry, and the more rapid the development, the more poor coolies will be resettled, that is, the more hooligans will be resettled, so that there will not be so many big and important cases to have a headache;

The military department needs to select the Beijing battalion from the engineer regiment battalion, and also place the retired soldiers and guest soldiers; The officials hoped to break the monopoly of the scholars and doctors on the official class, and then let the stagnant pool of officialdom be revitalized again;

Originally, he should have opposed the Ministry of Rites at this time, but with Wan Shi and this soft person, he couldn't toss anything.

Moreover, the Ministry of Rites also has a favorable view on this matter.

The etiquette that is coerced by Confucianism is not the etiquette, the etiquette is civilization, the etiquette is to be new, new every day, and new, everything in the world remains the same, if the etiquette is really in accordance with the law of the great Ming scholars and doctors for three generations, then the Ming Dynasty will not go for two hundred years.

The six science corridors were busy taking the test of the Fa, and the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were busy carrying water, and seemed to have no scruples about this matter, or used the argument of carrying water to avoid possible dangers.

Liu Hanru has been arrested by Luo Bingliang, the commander of Nanzhen's Fusi, and more than a dozen officials involved in it have been sent to Beijing Xu Xing for questions.

After the emperor inspected the sailors, the Ming sailors would set out from Tianjinwei and go to Nagasaki and Ryukyu to clear the two pirates that the governor's palace could not clear.

At the end of the song, the aftermath lingers.

Wang Yaozhuo sat in front of Zhu Yijun and said angrily: "Perfunctory, I went back to the palace today, and I must go to see it." ”

Wang Yaozhuo looked at the emperor's resolute face, sighed and closed the lid of the one hundred and eight keys, and said: "It's not that the husband is obsessed with state affairs, this Concubine Liu and Concubine Li are about to give birth, and the husband doesn't take a look, which makes the two of them a little complaining, and they came to my palace yesterday and cried. ”

In addition to the music, Shen Shixing, Chen Lan, Zhang Cheng and others each wrote a book about the behind-the-scenes instructions of the private market in Sanduao Bay, Ningde.

"The song of the lady is a little sad." Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

Wang Yaozhuo turned around three times and left the side hall of Wenhua Hall with worry, and Zhu Yijun had four books in his hand.

"Okay, lady reminds us, we still have something to do today." Zhu Yijun nodded again.

The powerful people involved in it have already ascertained that from Zhejiang to Fujian, there are a total of several families, headed by Ren and Xia, and the local officials involved in them have also found out that there is no problem with Shu Yinglong, the political envoy, but the problem of Liu Hanru, the envoy of the investigation, is very serious.

On the last day of August, Zhu Yijun did not return to Tonghe Palace after the court meeting, but came to the side hall of Wenhua Palace.

The only question now is who is protecting Liu Hanru.

The endowments of the Guozijian have to think about their own livelihood, knowing that they can't do it, but also holding the long gown that they can't take off, and those who hold it can only live in poverty for a lifetime.

Sanduao Bay, there are a total of seven private markets, the scale is comparable to the original Shuangyu private market, if there is no Ming officials indulgence, it is bound to be supported by the right, no matter how can it form such a huge scale.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Zhu Yijun agreed, thinking about things in his heart.

On the one hand, Liu Hanru set up Shu Yinglong, and on the other hand, he actively cooperated with the imperial court Qingzhang and the census Dingkou, Pang Shangpeng thought that Liu Hanru was a follower, so he entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, until the outbreak of the private market, Pang Shangpeng began to investigate.

What Zhu Yijun didn't expect was that there were many students from Guozijian who were also inquiring about the admissions requirements of the Royal Institute of Technology.

In the past, His Majesty was young and the emperor's authority was weak, but everything was a little thing, and he had to do everything he could.

Wang Yaozhuo stroked the piano in front of the windowsill, red is a difficult color to control, but on Wang Yaozhuo's body, it is natural, a big red coat, spread in front of the piano stand, like flowing water The sound of the piano echoes in the side hall.

"Got it, lady rest assured, I'm measured." Zhu Yijun showed a reassuring smile.

"Hmm." Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "We are a little worried that the ministers of the court, especially the auxiliary ministers, are involved. ”

"Although there is no shortage of food and clothing, this is about to give birth, and it is better for my husband to go over and take a look." Wang Yaozhuo didn't complain about the emperor, His Majesty was in charge of everything, wise and martial, and the Ming Dynasty was thriving, but the beauties of the harem suffered.

The expression on Wang Yaozhuo's face returned from helplessness to seriousness, and she asked softly, "Is it a matter of the Fujian private market?" ”

According to the procurator, Liu Hanru actually set aside Shu Yinglong, and the Fujian governor Pang Shangpeng's eyes were mainly focused on Qingzhang and Pupu Dingkou, and the crime of negligence could not escape.

The opening of the Royal Institute of Technology is much smoother than Zhu Yijun imagined, the first phase of the project will be opened at the end of the year, and the second phase of the project will be completed within one year, and the third phase will be completed within three years.

The road of the imperial examination is too windy, with only more than 1,000 people every three years and only 300 jinshi every three years.

Political, military, economic, and cultural, these concepts are just concepts that the sages of all dynasties have continuously extracted from phenomena from the torrent of rivers and mountains, and they are partial facts, not all of them, and the concepts themselves are abstract, and people interpret them because of various standpoints, and then sum up experience, form theories, and then use theories to guide reality.

That is to say, in terms of the total population of the Ming Dynasty, six out of every million people can stand out and become lifters, and only two of these six lifters are likely to become Jinshi.

"This is a state affair, and it is inconvenient for the concubines to say more, Your Majesty, I am grateful that God has the virtue of a good life, if the problem is not serious, it is better not to kill, after all, there is an heir born in the palace." Wang Yaozhuo hesitated and hesitated, but still spoke.

As for the children who are not short of money, they can learn or not, even if they don't learn anything, they can also travel in the mountains and rivers and spend their lives wantonly.

There is no abstract theory, concrete reality, can exist alone, other dimensions exist permanently, and often more important, the Royal Institute of Technology seems to be an abstract culture, but also a multiple influence of military, political and economic.

But now that His Majesty has grown up, hundreds of heads are rolling to the ground at every turn, and everything is more than the calculation of people's hearts, and the minister will also think about his own situation.

Everything went very smoothly at the Royal Institute of Technology, everything fell into place.

The road of the imperial examination, that is, a road from ancient Huashan, the infinite scenery is in the dangerous peak, the title of the gold list is heard all over the world, and there are no names in the deep ravine.

The most important thing is that when the child is born, I always feel a little bad when I see blood.

Things are not clear about effectiveness, and arguments are not determined by evidence.

Daming Jiangshan Sheji, this is a whole, inseparable, and the whole body is affected.

Wang Yaozhuo's position as the queen is as stable as Mount Tai, because of these words, Wang Yaozhuo dared to tell the emperor, even the most favored Concubine Ran is also taboo about state affairs, for fear of arousing His Majesty's disgust.

The interrogation of the captives and the ongoing investigation of the flow of goods revealed that the incident was supported by a number of powerful people, and Fujian ground officials were deeply involved in appeasement, and even had the protection of high-ranking officials in the court.

The first is: Songjiang Governor Shen Shixing, Songjiang Naval Division Chief Chen Luan's recital, they represent the Naval Division, to the court on the good news, the Ming hinterland of the five major cities stationed in the Naval Division, completed the Ming coastline area of the sea Raiders, now officially began to rest, the ship is repaired, the personnel began to rest, the addition of the Coastal Defense Inspection Division, the selection of Langli Baitiao, and then on October 15 to the north, please Emperor Ming to Tianjin Wei to see the sailors.

Concubine Liu Mengshu, Concubine Li Jin was found to be pregnant at the end of December of the ninth year of Wanli, she was pregnant, no longer serving, she couldn't even see His Majesty's face, her stomach was full of grievances, and she had nowhere to tell, and the second concubine was afraid of Empress Dowager Li and didn't dare to say it, so she had to find Wang Yaozhuo to complain.

In this matter, the governor of Songjiang and the governor of Fujian did not inquire about it very tacitly, because it involved Jingtang, and the governors of both places remained silent.

The disposal of Pang Shangpeng has also been over, Pang Beipeng's employment is unknown, the inquiry is unknown, he will be fined for one year, he will be promoted to the left waiter of the household department, and he will return to Beijing to listen to it, it seems to be a promotion, but in fact, it is a secret fall, Pang Shangpeng is old, and he is sick, and he is also a pensioner in Beijing.

"Have all the officials arrived?" Zhu Yijun put down the secret and asked if the personnel of the three halls had arrived, Wang Chonggu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Yan Qing and Shu Hua, the left and right servants of the Imperial Palace, Shi Hairui, Li Youzi, Chen Wei, Lu Guangzu, the secretary of Dali Temple, Yang Wei, the young secretary of Dali Temple, and the chief judge of this time, Zhao Mengyou, the commander of Zuo Zhenfu Si Tishuai.

"It's all to the Yamen of Zuo Zhenfu Division, is Your Majesty going there?" Feng Bao bowed his head and asked, if Your Majesty doesn't go, Feng Bao will go to Zuo Zhen Fusi, Your Majesty's side, there is Zhang Hong waiting for you.

"Go, take the stewardship." Zhu Yijun nodded and said.

Zuo Zhenfu Si Yamen is outside the noon gate, Zhu Yijun is two steps away, the emperor came to the yamen, and after everyone saluted, he walked into the back hall.

"Go and call Wang Cifu." Zhu Yijun said to Feng Bao.

Wang Chonggu walked into the back hall with an inexplicable face, this is about to start the three-hall trial, what does His Majesty mean by calling him alone to the back?

"Wang Cifu, since the second year of Wanli, you have done so many things, big and small, none of them have disappointed me, the country is well deserved, the last time I asked in the Wenhua Palace, there were many people in the court, this time I asked in this back hall, if you bless Liu Hanru and other Fujian officials, I will not open three halls of trial, and this matter will stop here." Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu and said very calmly.

This is a private marriage, it is really Wang Chonggu, Zhu Yijun plans to let him die a good death, the merits and demerits can never be offset, but after all, it is necessary to judge the merits and nobles, Wang Chonggu and his son can be regarded as powerful people in front of the king, the new policy can go so far, without Wang Chonggu can not go to this point.

"It's not." Wang Chonggu understood His Majesty's question, and said with a smile: "If Your Majesty has nothing to do, the minister will go back to the front." Although the minister is a traitorous minister, the minister still can't look down on the little silver in the private market, and he can't even get 500,000 taels of silver a year, so he can't make this money for losing his conscience. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Chonggu's confidence is too much! The second richest man in the Ming Dynasty, what about playing with you?

If you don't make money with the bright silver, you can make dirty money from selling Daming Dingkou, Tongyi, and tobacco and soil?

Your Majesty has rules for doing things, and again and again, since Your Majesty summoned him to the back hall to meet, he is going to the private court, this is a holy family, Wang Chonggu is not the kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, and he can still understand the words.

"Wang Cifu's statement is indeed reasonable." Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "It's true." ”

"The minister retired." Wang Chonggu returned to the front hall with his hands, and the smile on his face never went down, Zhang Juzheng is a hard-hearted person, since the second year of Wanli, how much has he Wang Chonggu done, he is still a damned person in Zhang Juzheng's heart, but in the end, the result is not bad, His Majesty is willing to protect him.

Yan Song was unscrupulous in his work back then, but without the Holy Family, he fell in a daze.

Feng Bao walked out of the back hall, shook off the dust, and said loudly: "By Your Majesty's command, let's start." ”

"Liu Hanru, Jiajing 37 years in the middle of the move, Jiajing 38 years of Jinshi 39 people, the first Henan Huaxian County, Jun County Governor, quite a political achievement, since the first year of Wanli to lead the Yunzhong military constitution, the rectification of Xuanfu Datong military equipment, Zuo Erxuan Governor Wang Chonggu Great Wall Ding Jian, two years, Ding Jian was completed, Wanli four years, because of the merit to transfer to Zhejiang according to the judge, Wanli seven years, and Shu Yinglong together with the transfer to Fujian." Zhao Mengyou looked at the case file in his hand, this is Liu Hanru's resume.

Liu Hanru was not a Jin party, and he went to Datong in the first year of Wanli to supervise Wang Chonggu's hole in the Great Wall.

It is not unreasonable for the Ming Emperor to suspect that Wang Chonggu is the mastermind behind the scenes of 'someone in the court', at that time Wang Chonggu was still a minister, and his favorite thing to do was to corrupt his colleagues, and it was reasonable for them to walk together at that time.

"Exactly." Liu Hanru didn't wear shackles and shackles, and he didn't have to kneel, after all, he still had official fame, he replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Fujian Sandu Aowan Private Market, but it is set up by wealthy families such as Zhejiang Renhe Xia?" Zhao Mengyou flipped through the file, the documentary evidence, the material witnesses were all there, and Luo Bingliang, the handsome man of the Southern Yaya, handled the case very carefully, and there was nothing missing.

Liu Hanru frowned, but still said, "Yes." ”

"But for you?" Zhao Mengyou asked again.

"Yes!" Liu Hanru's voice was extremely sure of his answer this time, his mood was very stable, he looked directly at Zhao Mengyou and said, "Do it again, I will still do it." ”

"Bold!" When Wang Chonggu heard this, he immediately became angry, as the secretary of the criminal department, over the years, he has seen a lot of criminals, and to the point of the three-hall trial, there are really not many people who are so crazy.

"Wang Cifu, long time no see." Liu Hanru still had the kung fu to say hello, he looked at Wang Chonggu and said: "I am worthy of my father, worthy of the imperial court, and even more worthy of the community, worthy of the Fujian ground officials, rich gentry, only worthy of the people, the crime deserves death, and the death penalty is not forgiven, but again, I can only do so." ”

Wang Chonggu said with a smile: "Are you still reasonable? ”

"It's not reasonable, if it's reasonable, don't say you should die." Liu Hanru shook his head and said: "The court is open to the sea at this end, and the other end must be cleared, and the Dingkou will be surveyed, and the governor is in a hurry, but Shu Yinglong is pretending to be confused with his eyes closed. What can I do? In this way, the exchange of the private market for the cadastral deed, the court will decide as soon as it pats its head, and we, the magistrates, can only try our best to implement it. ”

"If it weren't for the arrest of the private market this time, within three years, Fujian would have been able to complete the return of the land, some people died, some people lived, but when the day was not off, it was still discovered, later, the return of the field was over, although there was no regret in death, unfortunately, the matter was not done."

Liu Hanru said the word "return to the field", and he knew exactly what the court wanted to do.

When someone dies, it is naturally a coastal fishing village that was plundered by pirates;

Some people live, naturally they are poor coolies who have gotten rid of their lowly status, and those who have been returned to the land will live, Liu Hanru knows that this is a matter of choice, and he has no regrets.

"I don't understand a little, and I ask Wang Cifu to solve my doubts." Liu Hanru looked at Wang Chonggu and asked questions instead.

Wang Chonggu nodded: "Say." ”

"Are our Ming fathers missing a string in their brains?" Liu Hanru asked with a smile.

"Arrogance!" Wang Chonggu was laughed at angrily, this guy really didn't repent when he died, and he scolded all the Ming courtiers.

The smile on Liu Hanru's face disappeared, and instead became serious, he looked at Wang Chonggu and said: "Ming Gong of the imperial court, don't you think that any government decree has no price?" The contradiction is very clear, one drink and one peck, the cycle of cause and effect, if you want to do something, you must pay some costs, which vary from place to place, but who is bearing these costs? ”

"Take Qingzhang as an example, this Qingzhang, Daming Tianmu has increased from four million hectares to eight million hectares, and the imperial court taxes have increased, so who will pay these taxes? The township gentry always like to apportionment downward, but the loss is that the sea has made up for it, and the faces of these township sages and gentry are not so ugly, and they have not caused a big disaster. ”

"There is no decree, there is no price, you are all noble and noble, did you not clarify this matter to Your Majesty when formulating the decree? Only cleared, not returned to the land, the land is still barren, isn't that harming the people? ”

"I am ashamed of the people, sitting in a row in the Wenhua Palace, which one is worthy of the people!"

Liu Hanru is the actual executor of the decree, and he knows very well that the reason why Qingzhang on the southeast coast is smooth is completely because the sea trade has made up a big mouthful, otherwise the people will have to bear the extra rice and silver collected by the imperial court than in the past, which is something that cannot be clearer in the contradiction.

"I know my sins, so I have been worried, and I have been taking advantage of the private market to drastically implement the purging of the zhang, the census of Dingkou, and the abolition of the untouchable status, just give me another three years." Liu Hanru also ignored Wang Chonggu's reaction, he clearly explained why he was blessed to open a private market, and described the Fujian Sanduao private market as the product of compromise under contradictions.

Wang Chonggu also couldn't tell Liu Han Ruming that the imperial court was working hard to implement the return of land, and everything had to be done step by step.

Zhu Yijun completely understood in the back hall, this Liu Hanru looks like a ruthless person, and even seems ruthless to himself, even if I am not right, but I am not wrong, this is very contradictory.

"I almost got caught up in you." Wang Chonggu listened to it for a long time, then sneered and said mockingly: "It's just to take a shortcut for yourself, so that what you say is so righteous and awe-inspiring, if there is no one in the court to protect Yu Ling, I believe these words, it is clearly for the sake of the word promotion, and the sword is just going sideways." ”

"Qingzhang, census Dingkou, and abolition of lowly nationality, do you really want to exchange it for the private market? Who should have borne the price? Who has you become? Any decree has a price, and there is no annexation, and at the moment, it is self-evident who bears the price. ”

"Look at what you say, our Ming Dynasty is powerful and powerful, and the township is virtuous and gentle, all of them are good people, because of the huge profits of opening the sea, we have temporarily let go of the poor coolies, is this really the case?"

"What you say, it seems to be fine, but if you think about it carefully, there are many loopholes, but if you can peel off the slightest, you won't let it go! It's not that I don't want to, but I can't, because the first person to bear the brunt of the civil unrest is the village sage and gentry! ”

Wang Chonggu is old, and he was almost shaken by this Liu Hanru's iron-clad appearance, if it weren't for the recent Gaoyang He family, the disaster did not reduce the rent to the point of being wiped out, Wang Chonggu couldn't turn this corner for a while.

"So, if you tell me honestly, who did you take refuge into, and what promises did you get, if you confess honestly, you can't leave it to the whole corpse." Wang Chonggu waved his hand, sat down calmly, looked at Liu Hanru, and felt a little more disdainful, he was not a follower, the follower was not like this, the follower first followed reason.

Pang Shangpeng was deceived by this guy, it should be true, this guy's sanctimonious appearance is indeed difficult to recognize, but it is still the same sentence, if you want people to know unless you do nothing, the matter of Sanduao private market still happened.

Liu Hanru's words, the biggest loophole is the return of land, he said that three years can be returned to the private market, this is false, Wang Chonggu used the boat to change the field, and also changed 3 million mu, 30,000 hectares of official land, the entire Fujian ground 430,000 hectares, in recent years, he did not change an acre of official land, he said that he will take three years to complete the return of 430,000 hectares of land, it is simply nonsense, what scale does this private market have to develop?

Liu Hanru is looking down on the powerful and powerful and the resistance of the township gentry to the redistribution of the means of production, and it is impossible for Liu Hanru, who is to make peace with the township gentry.

There was some panic in Liu Hanru's expression, and his carefully prepared words boasted of being seamless, but Wang Chonggu said a word.

Zhu Yijun showed a smile in the back hall, this Liu Hanru no longer quibbles is the best answer, if it is really as simple as he said, Zhu Yijun is not here to be judged in three halls, but in the harem.

Anyone can talk big and empty words, but it will be difficult to do things.

"Liu Hanru, who are you sheltering against? Truthfully recruited. Zhao Mengyou saw Wang Chonggu sit down and began to continue the interrogation.

Liu Hanru's face was like ashes, and he said disheartenedly: "Why bother, confessing is also death, and not confessing is death, it is better not to confess." ”

Zhao Mengyou shook his head and said: "That's different, you confessed that you died by yourself, and you didn't confess, do your family know that you plan to resist to the end?" Come to think of it, they don't agree with you to resist to the end. ”

"You threaten me! It's just a minion, and you dare to threaten the imperial court?! Liu Hanru was suddenly enraged, he is not a lonely ghost, he has a family, relatives, and ancestral graves, he is carrying it like this, and his family knows that he does not agree.

Zhao Mengyou looked at the file and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, Tiqi will handle the case, even the number of earthworms in your family will be found out, and there is no need to toss and bloody, so that this calming and suffocating Yamen is full of yin and spirit, and the punishment of the five poisons will not be used." ”

If you don't have a confession, you won't handle the case? Two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, how many cases without confessions have been done, people are the sum of social relations, as long as Liu Hanru's social relations are investigated clearly, and each person is profiled, you can outline his life, who is blessing, it is clear.

Liu Hanru was interrogated because the case was serious and needed to go through the process of three sessions.

Wang Chonggu looked at Liu Hanru's expression, and he was directly happy, and said to Hai Rui next to him: "At the beginning, I was afraid that like him, a Ming Dynasty official, a real decent person in the world, how undignified it is to become a prisoner!" After thinking about it for a while, I finally went back to Xuanfu Datong to make up the holes in the Great Wall, silver, life does not bring death and does not bring it, the family is gone, exiled, that is really nothing. ”

"Wang Cifu is so transparent that he can think about it, and it is extremely rare to restrain himself from the precipice." Hai Rui said with a smile, this is to break through Liu Hanru's psychological defense, singing and singing on stage, it is best to break through from Liu Hanru, otherwise the time for the Ti Cavalry to handle the case will be at least a few months, or even years, and the most important thing is that it will implicate the public and make people panic.

The bigger the case, the more speedy it is, just to minimize the impact of the matter.

"Chen Jingbang, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites." Liu Hanru hesitated repeatedly, and finally closed his eyes and said: "He promised to recommend me as the governor of Fujian, then Pang Shangpeng is old and sick, and he will leave his post in a few days, so I did this." ”

"Chen Jingbang is a native of Fujian, and the silver for the big house in his hometown came from the private market."

Liu Hanru confessed, between his family and the backstage, he chose his family, and there is no saying in Daming that he can save his family without confessing, because the three halls will be tried, His Majesty will personally interrogate, and the court already has a clear clue, as long as His Majesty wants to, he will investigate it to the end.
