Chapter 209: The Xie Orphan
It is true that even with the shuttle and the water spinning wheel, Songjiang's cotton cloth is transported overseas for thousands of miles, and there is still no profit margin at this price.
But both Xu Jie and Yan Song are clear.
The reason why Jiajing was able to acquiesce to Jiangnan to this point today is by no means something that Zhu Zaili can control whether he depends on Jiangnan or not.
At the root, it is because the civil rebellion that was originally expected by the imperial court never happened.
This is the fundamental reason why Jiajing can tolerate them.
As for why the civil uprising did not happen, Xu Jie and Yan Song knew better than anyone else.
All the strong laborers were recruited by them to work, and those who starved to death were the old, weak, sick and disabled, and naturally there was no popular uprising.
Once there is a civil uprising, Jiajing will not hesitate to transfer the elite of the nine sides to the south to set things right, and the day when the northern army is pulled out is the time when the two of them are sacrificed to the flag.
Daming still has a chance to turn back, and the Yan family, the Xu family and most of the hundred officials have no way back.
Yan Song and Xu Jie, the two old foxes, know better than Xu Fan and Yan Shifan.
Silver and money can't save the Yan family and the Xu family.
Only when all the weaving yards and porcelain kilns in the entire Jiangnan can be started every day, and the monthly wages can be paid in full to keep the weavers and kiln workers alive, can the Yan and Xu families be saved.
The essence of feudalism is the feudal lords derived from the tenant farmers' strong personal attachment to the land.
This feudal lord is not necessarily a noble prince, as long as it is dependent on people and land and rentier, its nature is a feudal lord, but this kind of feudal lord of the Ming Dynasty is more civilized than the feudal era of the West, because it is not tied by blood relations, allowing a certain degree of iterative evolution and class mobility.
The essence of all this that happened in the Ming Dynasty was that the emerging capital had penetrated into the temple as a force, and formed a confrontation with the feudal power represented by the original scholars and imperial power.
At the forefront of the confrontation between feudalism and capital is the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty.
This makes the Yan and Xu families have the dual color of feudalism and capital, and the two families have extremely high leverage, but because of the existence of imperial power, even if these levers exist, they are helpless against the Yan and Xu families.
Feudalism is inside, capital is outside.
In order to protect themselves, Yan Song and Xu Jie could only choose to move the knife edge further outward regardless of the cost, leading the water to the east.
It is their lowest-cost choice.
On the wharf of Wusongkou, Hua Linxiang, who was transporting Xishan cotton cloth here, looked at the boats on the river in horror.
Wang Zhi made such a big move, and all the families in Jiangnan had to follow the meaning more or less.
But when I arrived at Wusongkou Hua Linxiang, I found out that the Yan family and the Xu family were all rushing to bankrupt their families!
"Wufeng, when you arrive in Hong Kong this time, every time the abacus beads on your ship are flicked, I don't know how many small farmers from North Korea and Japan have broken their families and their wives have been separated, will there really be no accidents?"
"No, it won't."
"But the rabbit knows how to bite when he's in a hurry."
"Father Jun doesn't care."
——
Inside the Qingning Palace.
Ce Yan Zhou Liang, who was alone, knocked down in front of Zhu Zaili and said loudly: "Foreign Minister Ce Yan Zhou Liang, thank you to the prince of the Celestial Dynasty, Longen, but I don't know about it...... Can the clan relatives and officials who are familiar with government affairs allocate more people? ”
Ce Yan Zhouliang's eyes were rolling desperately, for fear of missing this opportunity to gather wool.
Before Zhu Zaili could speak, McFuy opened his mouth and reprimanded angrily: "Presumptuous! ”
"The people who make the fields are all Emperor Taizu Gao's blood Yin, how can you bargain?!"
Ceyan Zhou Liang knew that he was wrong, and kowtowed twice in a row and then said: "The foreign minister is rude, and I ask His Highness to forgive me." ”
"The lonely royal brothers, all of whom have been clothed and fed since childhood, went overseas this time because they were ordered by their father to spread the kindness of their father overseas, but they need to spend ......"
When Ceyan Zhou Liang heard this, his face was embarrassed: "Your Highness, the small state is a small country......
As soon as the words fell, a high-arched and rough voice came from the apse of Qingning Palace.
Then the snot of the cry and the high arch of tears rushed out of the apse.
"Your Highness! The clan is the blood of Emperor Taizu Gao, there is no such system in ancient times, His Royal Highness acts like this, how can he see the ancestors in Jiuquan after a hundred years! ”
"Didn't you just kill a few people in Xiaoling? The minister would rather lose this official position, and he must not let the royal relatives go overseas, Your Highness! ”
Zhang Juzheng grabbed Gao Gong, and Feng Bao also knelt on the ground and hugged Gao Gong's thighs.
"Su Qing, Your Highness must have a deep meaning, Su Qing."
"Yes, the senior attendant said that the prince has the difficulties of the prince, and he will need the waiter's assistance in the future."
"Let me go, you traitors!"
Ning Jue reminded in a low voice on the side: "Uncle, you twist your head to the back, the corners of your mouth are almost on me, you are blind." ”
Zhang Juzheng twisted his head to the side at this time.
Zhou Liang, who was kneeling on the ground, said categorically: "Plus! Xiaobang will definitely not disappoint all the nobles of the heavens, and he will do his best to eat and drink, and please rest assured that His Royal Highness the Prince, and all the gentlemen of the Heavenly Empire can rest assured! ”
In the end, Zhu Zaili also looked at the clansmen who were about to follow Ceyan Zhouliang to Japan, and cried with tears.
"Uncles, ancestors, and brothers, you are lonely and unfilial, and you are lonely and don't live for you!"
"Your Highness! We can't bear you! ”
"Remember, as far as you can see, I know that I Li Yuan, the people of the Ming Dynasty overseas, are in dire straits, just waiting for you to relieve the people from hanging, for the sake of the world and the common people, I can only suffer for you."
"Your Highness! I don't want to leave! The small country in the East China Sea is a place where even birds don't! I've never heard of it. ”
In a cry that was inseparable.
Ceyan Zhouliang had to agree, and each of the imperial relatives in Japan would be given five taels of silver per month, and the shogunate would prepare for the resettlement of the house.
Only then did these clansmen get up satisfied, followed behind Ceyan Zhou Liang, and strode towards the Liujiagang Wharf.
Admittedly, Fanbang may be a bird that doesn't poop, but at least there must be a bird!
If you really go back to the fiefdom, you won't even be able to see the birds!
As soon as Fang left the city, the luggage of those clan relatives was sent over by the palace people, looking at the large group of royal clan relatives behind him who were like spring outings, Ceyan Zhou Liang suddenly thought of some classics that he had read.
These sect members don't seem to be all brocade clothes and jade food in Daming!
"Your Highness, the foreign minister just thought about it again, more than 800 clan relatives, this month is really ......"
"What do you mean?" Zhu Zaili's face sank.
Ceyan Zhou Liang hurriedly said: "The foreign minister heard that the Celestial Empire determines relatives and relatives by rank, and the Minfu feudal clans eat only 400 stone in the Celestial Empire. ”
Under the Chengtian Gate, the cheerful air was swept away in an instant.
"The Celestial Empire is close, that's because there is the Son of Heaven, and the small state of Yuer also wants to determine the intimacy of my Zhu family?"
Zhu Zaili's face sank, and he didn't wait for Ceyan Zhou Liang to continue to speak.
A figure dressed in linen and filial piety suddenly appeared on the heavenly street.
"Your Highness! No! ”
After speaking, the man knocked his head on the ground with a "bang", and this head was sturdy.
Blood oozed from the scholar's forehead.
"The ambition of the wolf son has been colluding with Wang Wei for a long time, and he is definitely not a good type, so he must not ignore it!"
Witnessing this, Ceyan Zhou Liang didn't care about the intimacy of a clan, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said, "Your Highness, Xiaobang really can't afford to pay for it!" ”
"Knowing small courtesy without great righteousness, fearing power but not virtue, weak is humble, strong will be thieves! Are you also worthy to come to me to beg for food? ”
"There are still loyal and righteous people who dare to die in the Celestial Empire, and I dare to kill myself in Xiaoling."
"As long as His Royal Highness takes back his order, the student will go to Xiaoling to kill himself!"
The scholar didn't give Ceyan Zhou Liang time to turn around at all.
Zhu Zaili kicked Ceyan Zhou Liang out and said angrily: "What are you still doing? Why don't you get out of here?! ”
Ceyan Zhou Liang kowtowed on the ground again.
"Minister, get out, get out!"
Seeing that Ceyan Zhou Liang left, the scholar simply knelt outside the Chengtian Gate and refused to get up for a long time.
Standing on the side of Tianjie and watching the bustle, Zhang Wei couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Gu Kexue.
"Huiyan, high! You found this prisoner, right? Just now, the Japanese envoy is going to cheat again, thanks to your trick to use fraud to deceive, tsk, how dangerous. ”
"I look familiar with this prisoner, but I forgot where I saw it, talent, you look at this sincerity, I am moved."
Gu Kexue cautiously whispered: "Jifu, this is Xie Wenzheng's great-eldest grandson Xie Daoyuan, the only seedling of the Simen Xie family." ”
"No wonder, the ...... of the famous family" Zhang Wei's words paused, and then suddenly realized: "It's not pretending?" ”
"People are really hating the country and the family, and they can't stop it, if it weren't for the support of someone, this kid would be ready to assassinate him directly."
——
The ship had already set sail, and although the tossing of the Korean mission in Beijing was much slower than that of the people of Ceyan and Zhouliang, the result was roughly the same.
Each of the three parties takes what they need, and everyone has a bright future.
Only Xie Zhiwang didn't quite understand what happened in Jinling.
On the second day after Ceyan Zhou Liang left Jinling, heavy rain fell in Jinling, and the heavy rain poured day and night, still not blocking Xie Zhiwang's footsteps of petitioning.
The heavy rain soaked Xie Zhiwang's clothes.
The scar on Xie Zhiwang's forehead was only slightly bandaged.
"Student Guozi Supervisor Xie Zhiwang, please ask the prince to take back his fate!"
The guards guarding the palace gate couldn't help but sigh at a glance.
It's just that Xie Zhiwang soon felt that the raindrops above his head were not falling.
After Xie Zhiwang raised his head with a puzzled face, he found a man in a lily robe standing behind him with an oil-paper umbrella.
"Daoyuan, go back."
It wasn't until the man lowered his body that Xie Zhiwang saw the appearance of the person clearly.
"Nianzhai?"
"People are soft-spoken, it's useless for you and me to say anything now."
"Shall we do nothing, then? The enemy of the country and the family hate it! ”
"Wait a minute, sooner or later, there will be a day, the imperial court has whipped the law, which is nothing more than playing with money and silver, and what we have to do now is to keep the light and the obscure."
Tao Dalin helped Xie Zhiwang, who was kneeling on the ground, and whispered in Xie Zhiwang's ear: "When our Tao Xie family played with silver, they hadn't been born yet, wait a minute, it's almost over." ”
Once capital is born, it will never stop at the cabinet or any yamen.
It wants the whole world.
