Prince of Chaos

Chapter 680 Family History

Now Zhu Changluo is well versed in the essence of long-term fishing for big fish.

After discussing the coffee with the cabinet and the eight ministers of the Military Aircraft Department, he was not in a hurry to make a decision on how to deal with the coffee.

Zhu Changluo kicked the ball directly to them, asking them to use their smart brains to think of a way for Zhu Changluo, and then Zhu Changluo reluctantly agreed, and then took the power of the tea-horse trade back to the central government!
The tea-horse market is very beneficial to Daming.

However, due to the collapse of the tea-horse trade market for hundreds of years, the benefits of the tea-horse trade market are like the benefits of the salt road, and the imperial court has no light at all.

The horses exchanged through the exchange market were finally selected by the tea merchants and the local wealthy families, and the worst ones were reserved for the imperial court. The good horses were intercepted by themselves, and then smuggled through the exchange market And horse dealers smuggled to all parts of the country.

It can be said that the tea-horse monopoly platform established by the imperial court ended up becoming a fetter that bound the imperial court. While the imperial court could not get good horses, it also could not use the tea-horse trade market to truly check and balance the grasslands, plateaus, and the Western Regions.

In the end, the cheap ones are all interested people in the tea-horse trade market, and some wealthy merchants.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo only needs to zoom in on the coffee crisis infinitely.

After all, the spread of coffee is not as fast as imagined.

In the original historical time and space, coffee was introduced to China only in the late Qing Dynasty.

In the previous hundreds of years, tea was still the mainstream in the East.

As for why tea lost its original historical status and could not play a role in controlling grasslands, plateaus, and the Western Regions.

The root cause is the progress of industrialization.

The progress of industrialization has greatly released the capacity of transportation and production. Therefore, it was necessary for the ancient tea-horse road to be transported to the plateau, grassland, tea and other Central Plains artifacts like ants moving house. Naturally, this capacity, transportation In the era of great explosion, the important attribute of "rare things are more expensive" has been lost.

The historical mission of tea will naturally withdraw from the stage of history.

Therefore, tea will not be defeated by coffee at all in the future.

Tea was defeated by industrialization and later by the culture dominated by the West.

At present, the situation that the West is dominant has not yet formed, and coffee is also in its infancy.

In the future, it is still unknown who will control the voice of coffee and set the cultural standards of coffee.

Therefore, Zhu Changluo was not in a hurry at all.

He just wanted to use coffee as an introduction to ignite the sense of crisis among the tea merchants' interest groups.

If so, these people still go their own way and are unwilling to give up their reasons.

Zhu Changluo will set up a coffee department to plant in Hainan, Yunnan and other places. At that time, a large amount of Daming coffee will flood into the market. Let's see if these tea merchants can sit still?
Therefore, in dealing with the tea merchants, Zhu Changluo has a lot of tricks.

However, now is not the time to implement these back tricks.

Now is an important moment to create a sense of crisis for tea merchants.

If you want to keep your own interests from being lost, how can you support the imperial court in opening up the Western Regions without a little blood?

That's why Zhu Changluo used Yangmou's strategy after the bullets flew for a while.

Zhu Changluo not only prepared a one-month supply of coffee for the eight ministers of the cabinet and military aircraft department, but also prepared a certain share for the six ministries and other yamen in Beijing.

However, these shares are limited, and they cannot have a one-month supply like the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department.

After all, Chen Zhenlong didn't bring many coffee beans back, and these coffee beans were all over-roasted beans, so they couldn't be planted at all.

So, we can only hurry up.

At the same time, Zhu Changluo also ordered Sun Xian to secretly use Emperor Wanli's sea fleet to go overseas to find coffee trees or raw coffee beans that could be used for transplantation.

As long as you can find it, it doesn't matter how much money you spend.If you can't buy it with money, then use artillery to buy it.

Zhu Changluo didn't believe it anymore, there was a door that couldn't be opened by artillery?
Therefore, Zhu Changluo now has a lot of backup players, and what he is now coordinating is the overall situation of the tea-horse trade market, not the so-called tea-coffee dispute at all.

After the Cabinet and the Military Aircraft Department got used to drinking coffee for a period of time, they also gradually got used to the taste of coffee, and also liked the bitter taste of coffee.

Moreover, because the refreshing effect of coffee is significant, their office efficiency and energy are more focused than before.

It is precisely because of this that the minds of the eight people in the cabinet and the military aircraft department suddenly became active.

How could such a fetish be in the hands of Fang Waizhifan only?
How could Daming be choked by people outside Fang because of this?
Therefore, Daming must do everything possible to introduce coffee.

Therefore, Wang Xijue, Dong Qichang, Shen Yiguan, and Liu Pinru from the cabinet jointly signed the letter.

They hoped that the crown prince could throw out the prejudice that coffee is something outside the country, introduce this thing to Ming Dynasty, and make it a thing of Ming Dynasty. and the land of the Western Regions.

Zhu Changluo suppressed the note and did not immediately express his opinion.

After two days, the content of this booklet was sent to the Military Aircraft Department.

After the four members of the Military Aircraft Department heard the news, Shen Sixiao, Xing Jie, and Shen Li all looked at Wang Jiaping who insisted on his own opinion with a bit of resentment.

They believed that the reason why the Military Aircraft Department moved a step slower than the cabinet was that the four members of the Military Aircraft Department had different opinions, which made their speed a half-beat slower.

After feeling the taste and refreshing effect of the coffee during this period, Shen Sixiao, Xing Jie and Shen Li also moved with the same thoughts as the cabinet.

The good thing about the reform of the salt road last time failed to catch up. The emergence of coffee this time is undoubtedly another good opportunity for these ministers to sit in line and share the fruit.

At this time, you have to participate in whatever you say.

After all, the civil servants of Ming Dynasty are not the official positions of Shiqing Shilu.None of us can guarantee that our family can prosper forever after us.

If you can benefit from the coffee this time and earn a source of wealth for your family that can be passed on to future generations, then no one will refuse it.

After all, the clan concept of people in this era is still very strong.

In later generations with relatively developed civilization and thinking, those high-ranking officials and the super-rich tried their best to infiltrate their family power into traditional industries that did not seem to be high-yield. In fact, their thinking was the same as that of the ancients.

Although the traditional industries of "basic clothing, food, housing, and transportation" do not look as high-tech as glamorous, these industries are the foundation of the foundation. If you grasp the share of the basic industry, the family can almost stand invincible.

For example, the century-old Rockefeller family, which is famous in later generations, sounds like it is not as rich as Gates, Musk and others, but the business of this family has almost penetrated into the basic industries of their country.

As long as cars still need to burn gasoline and banks continue to exist, the Rockefeller family will never fail.

The secret of this is not how smart the Rockefeller family is, but mainly because they took the lead. In the following hundred years, they have infiltrated their family power into all aspects of the lives of the people.

Therefore, it is difficult for them not to be rich.

Now, a similar opportunity appeared in front of everyone.

Anyone with a little brain can see that coffee must also occupy a place in future life.

If you take advantage of the power in your hands at this time, make arrangements in advance, and divide the interests of coffee.

In the future, no matter how much coffee Da Ming grows, it will only enter the market through their hands, so it will be difficult for their family to fail.

Therefore, Shen Sixiao, Xing Jie, and Shen Li were all extremely eager for this matter.

Although, they are also a generation of great Confucians who read sage books.

However, reading a book costs money!
If there is no strong family background, how can the descendants of the family study?

The descendants of the family have no money to study, how can the family pass it on?

Therefore, we must fight for it!
Naturally, Wang Jiaping also felt the resentful eyes of Shen Sixiao and others.

He understood that if he continued to block people's way like this, his official career might be over.

Therefore, Wang Jiaping is also anxious to get angry at the moment.

These goddamn tea merchants actually wanted the imperial court to pay for them to maintain the original tea-horse market without pulling anything out. This is simply a dream!
Even if the Crown Prince agrees, the cabinet, the Military Aircraft Department, and other officials from the six ministries who want to share the benefits will justly and honestly give back this fate.

After all, everyone is not a fool, so why let you tea merchants take all the benefits?

Therefore, it is also difficult for Wang Jiaping now.

While bearing the pressure from the Military Aircraft Department, he must also earnestly explain the interests and interests to the tea merchants.

Now, Wang Jiaping is really exhausted.

Shen Sixiao took a small sip of coffee slowly, he added milk to his coffee, this way of drinking Shen Sixiao liked it very much, it was not too bitter, and tasted like milk, he liked it.

Shen Sixiao said: "Let's discuss it too. The cabinet has already come up with regulations, and they want to support coffee entering Daming. What do you think?"

Shen Sixiao leisurely looked at the three people in the military aircraft department.

Xing Jie also picked up the black coffee beside him and took a sip. Xing Jie likes this kind of pure black black coffee, which is what later generations often call American style.

Xing Jie likes this bitter taste very much. He thinks this taste can not only refresh his mind, but also remind himself how hard everything is now.

Xing Jie replied: "Chairman, I think our Military Aircraft Department should also support coffee transplanting to Daming. The effect of this thing is shameless, and all my colleagues have already felt it. If we insist on blocking it In the end, we will definitely be isolated by hundreds of officials."

"The original intention of the establishment of the Military Aircraft Department is to bypass the cumbersome cabinet system. If we don't even have the knowledge and courage of the cabinet, how can we prove to His Royal Highness that we are determined to forge ahead?"

"So, the lower officials think that our Military Aircraft Department should also immediately express our position to support the entry of coffee into Daming and become our local property in Daming, so as to break the threat of the Albanian country outside the Western Regions and the infiltration of Taixi from thousands of miles away."

Xing Jie's meaning is obvious, he supports it.

Although farming is also very promising, Xing Jie has long heard that a group of people in Xishan Huangzhuang are quietly cultivating high-yielding grain seeds.Moreover, he has been fighting in North Korea for the past few years, and all the supplies are from Xishan Huangzhuang.

From this, Xing Jie can also infer that Xishan Huangzhuang must have achieved great results in grain cultivation. Otherwise, how could a protracted national war be fought so easily?

Therefore, the income from farming may be very high, but it is certainly impossible to control the tenants and tenant farmers to continue farming for them, the super-big households.

Once these tenant farmers get the seed resources of Xishan Huangzhuang, the grain they grow will be enough for themselves to eat and drink. Can they still farm land for big households as willingly as before?

Therefore, Xing Jie must also consider the future of his family.

Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also issued an order to open the Liao Dynasty.Now the landless peasants in many places in Shandong have begun to move, wanting to go all the way north to the Guandong to find a new way of life for themselves.

Faced with so many complex environments, Xing Jie had to consider the benefits of coffee, and by the way, he also pulled his family into the chariot of coffee, so as to be invincible in the future.

Xing Jie's speech was a consensus within the Military Aircraft Department, and it was also the expectation of officials outside.

Wang Jiaping took a sip of the extremely bitter coffee, but he didn't say anything in the end.

Shen Li looked at the situation, and he began to speak.

Shen Li said: "Chief, the second seat. I think the second seat is right. Coffee is an irresistible trend. If we forcibly go against the trend, we will not be able to get the Sacred Heart, and we will lose the expectations of all officials. At that time, if the cabinet puts a crazily pressure on me, the situation of our military aircraft department can be imagined."

"Although I'm at odds with cronies like Shen Jianwu (Shen Yiguan), Shen Jianwu's words are still very reasonable. Before I, Da Ming, can control coffee, if I want to suppress coffee, it will affect my Ming tea. Impact."

"The current plan is to call on the tea merchants in Yunnan, Guizhou, Fujian, Jiangxi and other places, as well as in Shaanxi, Sichuan and Shanxi regions to contribute to the country, support the imperial court in opening the Western Regions to the west, and block the coffee from the country outside the Western Regions from entering the plateau through the Western Regions. land."

"At that time, under the leadership of the Crown Prince, our Military Aircraft Department can continue to study and judge the situation in the Western Regions, participate in important military affairs of the aircraft, and then override the cabinet!"

As soon as Shen Li's words came out, the eyes of the people in the Military Aircraft Department lit up.

What does the military aircraft department do?
The Military Aircraft Department is to study and judge important military affairs. If the world is peaceful, what is the use of the Military Aircraft Department?
Although the northern grasslands have always been restless, they are not at all right now.

The military aircraft department can't use its strength.

The Bozhou Rebellion in the southwest was also put down by Li Hualong.

The Korean War is also over.

Although there is still Dongyu in the south who has been making troubles, but the situation there is complicated, the chieftains are everywhere, like weeds on the wall, they will turn against each other for a while, and drop for a while.The Military Aircraft Department's remote control of the war there is not reliable at all.

Therefore, the military aircraft department is really busy now.

But if you open the Western Regions, it will be different.

Although the Western Regions are far away from the capital, the completion of the Jingning cement road has greatly shortened the time leading to the Western Regions.

If, according to Shen Sixiao's intention, continue to connect the Jingning Cement Road to the Western Regions, then it is not impossible to manage the Western Regions.

Moreover, this battle cannot be ended in a year or two at all.

At that time, the Military Aircraft Department, as a participating military aircraft, will naturally highlight its authority.

So, no matter from which direction.

Opening the Western Regions is of great benefit to the Military Aircraft Department.

Shen Sixiao looked at Shen Li's family, his eyes changed. At this moment, Shen Sixiao felt that he and Shen Li must be related.

Otherwise, why would everyone have the surname Shen, and how could they all be so connected?

Listening to Shen Li's words, Wang Jiaping felt a sense of crisis.

My heart is also extremely contradictory!

Now he is no longer the second assistant of the cabinet, he is the Minister of Military Aircraft of the Military Aircraft Department.

The interests of the Military Aircraft Department must naturally come first in the ass and ideas.

What Shen Li said was right, opening the Western Regions would benefit the Military Aircraft Department the most.

If it is done properly, from now on, the Military Aircraft Department will probably overtake the cabinet because of the opening of the Western Regions.

This is absolutely fatal to anyone with a desire for power.

Wang Jiaping took a deep breath, and said: "Chief, second seat, brother Shen, please give me a few days, and I will be able to persuade the officials in charge of the Tea Horse Department and the representatives of the tea merchants in the seven provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Fujian, Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi to let you Together, they contributed to the country, supported the imperial government's major policies, opened up the Western Regions, returned their homeland, and reproduced the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties!"

When Shen Sixiao and others heard Wang Jiaping's statement, everyone looked at it in surprise.

Wang Jiaping is unfathomable!

Opening his mouth is to convince the officials of the tea and horse department in the three provinces and the tea merchants and horse merchants in the seven provinces. This strength has to be looked at sideways.

Shen Sixiao got up and said: "Brother Zhong has worked hard. This time, whether our Military Aircraft Department can shine brightly and overwhelm the cabinet depends on Brother Zhong's ability."

Wang Jiaping said: "The chief is serious. I will do my best! I can't guarantee it."

Shen Si filial piety: "Brother Zhong, don't be humble. Brother Zhong's Wang family is in the land of the Jin Dynasty, and it is also a rich family for many generations. Its name and prestige must be able to call the tea and horse merchants of the Three Jins to put aside their selfish interests and serve the country wholeheartedly."

Wang Jiaping knew that Shen Sixiao was trying to kill him.

However, Wang Jiaping could not refute.

After all, their family in Shanxi is indeed a rich family for many generations, and it is also from the Wang family of Taiyuan, a millennium-old wealthy family.

In Sanjin, as long as the Wang family wanted to do something, there was almost nothing that could not be done.

Although, Wang Jiaping is not the main branch of the Taiyuan Wang family.

However, among the entire Shanxi Wang family, Wang Jiaping's status is unquestionable. Even the main family in Taiyuan still depends on Wang Jiaping's face.

After all, Wang Jiaping is the only "Zai Fu" in the current Wang family.

There is no time in the Han and Tang Dynasties that can despise the glory of the royal family. I think the Wang family can ignore the existence of the Li and Tang royal families.

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Wang family was in charge of the Eastern Jin Dynasty for a time, creating the political achievement of "the king and the horse share the world".

It can be said that this big family that has multiplied for 2000 years, even though they are now invisible and have lost the glory of their ancestors, their influence in Shanxi and other places is still unparalleled!

No one can compete with it.

And this is where Wang Jiaping's ability to persuade the officials of the Tea Horse Department and the tea merchants in the seven provinces lies in the strength of the horse merchants!
And this is the so-called family background!

It's something that small families like Shen Sixiao, Xing Jie, and Shen Li can't compare to.
