I'm really not doing business

Chapter 229 Mr. Zhang didn't feel any difference when he was there, and he hasn't seen him since he passed away

If you don't want to be controlled by others and control silver in your own hands, wouldn't this problem be solved?
Guangmao finds himself caught in a strange logic circle, which is so reasonable, but extraordinarily strange, as if it should be like this.

If you don’t have silver, you can find a place with silver and take it, won’t you have it?
This violates Confucian benevolence and righteousness, but Japanese pirates are not human beings, and Chen Youren, who arranged for Japanese pirates to be human, was chopped up by the emperor himself.

The invasion of the Japanese pirates in the southeast has lasted for more than 20 years. There is no pressure from public opinion to attack the Japanese country. There is no need to mobilize to fight the Japanese country. Shandong, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangzhou are all men who want to fight the Japanese country. .

Compared with the northern captives who invaded Gyeonggi and the Ming Dynasty and fought for more than 200 years, the Ming people hate the Japanese country even more.

The conflict between the Ming Dynasty and the Beilu is very, very complicated, because between the Ming Dynasty and the Beilu, there is me in you, and you in me. There are a large number of Han soldiers in the Beilu, and there are a large number of Tartar officials and Tartars in the Ming Dynasty. army, and most of the northern captives were Han Chinese.

Hu Yuan Kublai Khan established Hu Yuan by relying on Han Shihou in the north to defeat the serious Mongol Khan Ali Buge, and also turmoiled Helin, a land of dragon prosperity. Hu Yuan was beaten away by Xu Da After that, you come and go with each other. This complex contradiction affects each other in many fields such as politics, military affairs, economy, and culture.

This is what I have in you, and you in me.

To put it more simply, the northern captives can be regarded as internal strife between brothers, while the Japanese pirates are foreign thieves.

Therefore, when Guangmao first talked about fighting Japanese pirates, the courtiers subconsciously did not object, but thought about whether it was worth it for silver.

Seems so worth it!

Because silver is indeed the core driving force of Zhang Juzheng’s new policy this time, a steady stream of silver was rolled into silver coins and flowed into the market of Ming Dynasty. For the first time, Ming Dynasty had a currency that could circulate on a large scale and act as an intermediary for commodity circulation.

"What Guangmao said is not scaremongering, let alone worrying, but a question we must think about. Once Taixi stops importing silver to Daming, how should we deal with it? A large amount of silver input relieved Daming's money shortage , but once the import of silver stops, the problem of money shortage will come back immediately, and under the premise that the banknote law cannot be implemented at the moment, where should the Ming Dynasty go?" Zhu Yijun agreed with Huke's memorial to Zhongguangmao very much.

Zhu Yijun further said: "The wealthy gentry of Ming Dynasty and the Antu herdsmen can't do it, but they are good at mergers and acquisitions, and their sense of smell is extremely sensitive. Once overseas silver is no longer imported, they will immediately hoard silver in their hands and bury it in pigs. In the circle, even if it gets moldy, it won’t be taken out.”

"During the cold winter, carnivorous animals like to hoard food for the winter, and the carnivores of the Ming Dynasty are the same. As long as they hide the land and silver, they can survive the severe cold, but the poor coolies will wither like weeds in the severe cold. "

"In this way, the handicraft workshops with large-scale employment that have just begun to emerge in Ming Dynasty will close down due to the slowdown of commodity circulation caused by the lack of silver or currency."

"Our friend, France, is not invincible in Thailand. He has many enemies. At sea, he has Rumi (Ottoman), England, and France as enemies. On land, he has The foreign enemies of France and the rebellion in the Netherlands cannot be dealt with. He will also be weak, and it will form an invincible fleet to protect the sea, but is the invincible fleet really invincible?"

"How can we guarantee the stability of our silver input?"

The first generation of Spain, the empire on which the sun never sets, was not always invincible. In the second year of Wanli, King Felipe II Don Juan of Spain lost to Ottoman at sea and was occupied by Ottoman in Tunisia. Felipe II lost domination of the Mediterranean.

While France and England supported the rebellion in the Netherlands, they continued to block and harass the merchant ships of the Spanish Empire at sea.

The rebellion in the Netherlands means that the Spanish Empire will lose the largest handicraft workshop, and it will also lose the largest and most stable source of tax revenue.

In the not-too-distant future, the Spanish Armada will face the biggest and most humiliating defeat, and the input of silver will fluctuate to the point that Ming can't accept it at all.

Zhu Yijun looked at the courtiers' contemplation, spread his hands and said: "Even if our friendly country is invincible, he can quell the rebellion, defeat the Lumi, the English, and the French, but Felipe II restricts travel to and from Ming Dynasty. The scale of merchant ships restricts the silver transported to Ming Dynasty, and the silver import will still fluctuate greatly.”

"Philipe II's reasons will be very good. For example, he is dissatisfied with the increase in the price of Daming's silk, for example, he is dissatisfied with the lack of respect in the credentials I gave him, for example, he is dissatisfied with my funding for Antonio, for example, he is dissatisfied with Daming's occupation of Luzon Island, the war that took place in the Governor-General of Luzon, in short, for the benefit, it is extremely easy to find a reason."

Da Ming asked I Da Khan to ask his younger brother to be responsible for the looting of the border people in the food fort, but I Da Khan absolutely refused to agree.

There was a lot of pressure on Hu Ke to give Zhong Guangmao a memorial to oppose the whipping method. It was to criticize the New Deal, and to criticize the New Deal was to criticize Yuanfu. His Majesty's affirmation let Guangmao know that Zhang Juzheng would not do anything to him.

"Your Majesty is wise." After hearing His Majesty's analysis, Zhang Juzheng said sincerely that His Majesty does not place matters on the conscience of others, and is already a very qualified king when dealing with the relationship between countries and proceeding from interests.

As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally put the interests of the Ming Dynasty first.

"Your Majesty, I think you can send a giant ship to Ryukyu to wipe out the Japanese pirates entrenched in Ryukyu first. The Ryukyu envoys have asked for orders many times." Zhang Juzheng has thought about the silver issue many times, but he thinks it is not a good time.

But the war can also go with the flow, and it can be logical. The Ryukyu envoy asks for orders. This is the king's teacher. The Daming navy went to Ryukyu because of the request of the Ryukyu king and the Ryukyu envoy. It is bound to launch a series of cruel struggles with the Wa country.

Then, the war becomes logical.

"En." Zhu Yijun nodded. This is not a court meeting, and there is no need to form a decision. Zhang Juzheng, as the chief assistant, must fully consider and consider the strength of the Daming Navy before making plans and disposals.

Daming's top priority right now is to drive Tuman Khan to the west of Da Xianbei Mountain, and let Tuman Khan and Altan Khan fight in the nest. The burden is too heavy, but it is also the duty of Daming, the suzerain state, to help the vassal state to suppress the pirates.

Ryukyu, a vassal state, pays tribute once a year, and more than 30 catties of fish oil alone enter Beijing every year. Although this is a trade, it relieves the oil shortage in the Ming Dynasty.

Unlike Taixi's suzerain, which only has power but no obligations, Daming, as the suzerain, has both power and obligations.

For example, when the Portuguese occupied Malacca, Ming issued an edict specifically to allow the Portuguese to leave and return Malacca to Malacca, but Ming had no navy, so it was strange that the Portuguese would listen.

In the 15th year of Zhengde, the imperial court agreed: Manlajia is the country of imperial feudalism, and Franchi dared to merge with it, and it is not allowed to ask for tribute. Full assassination plus territory, Fang Xu tribute.If you persist in your obsession, you must sue the others and condemn your crimes.

And inform the kings, and send envoys and assistants to restore the country of Manlajia.

But at that time, the Nanyang countries had long forgotten the might of the Daming Navy. After all, it had not been punished for more than 150 years, so naturally no one paid attention to the imperial edict of the Daming.

Guangmao's first reason for opposing the one-whip law is that Daming is poor and cannot be controlled by others.

This reason is sufficient, but it has been fully affirmed by His Majesty and courtiers. Guangmao is not a lowly Confucian. , to exercise their powers, to question government orders, to raise concerns and questions.

That's what a judge should do.

Zhu Yijun looked at Guangmao who was sitting upright and the dozen or so censors who played with him, and continued: "The second reason why Guangmao opposes the one-whip method is that it is based on the method of examination. The basic thing to go down is to clear the zhang. The Ming Dynasty combined taxation and forced labor into one whip, that is, the two differences of silver and power were combined with household registration and salt banknotes into the land. Apportioned over the fields."

"And in order to cater to the examination method, in order to complete the examination, in order to please the Taifu, there will inevitably be local officials who will falsely report or overreport the number of acres of land, and rely on merit to be promoted. This is what will inevitably happen. In this way, The imperial court saw that the number of acres had increased and the tax base had increased, but it was the poor, the coolies and the small landlords who suffered, and the wealthy, gentry, and powerful had been wiped out, so they would try their best to spread the cost on the ordinary people."

Zhang Juzheng himself opposed the one-whip method, and was very cautious about the one-whip method.

Because he knows very well who are inside and outside the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. In order to get promoted, he will do whatever he can to get credit, and he will inevitably lie and conceal the report. But soon, Emperor Wanli began to liquidate Zhang Juzheng.

In the 12th year of Wanli, the examination method, the rectification of academic administration, the one-whip law, the strong military law, six books and one account, etc. were all abolished.

Zhang Juzheng's whip method was not implemented for too long, and it was not the cause of the disaster of the Ming Dynasty's subjugation.

However, Zhang Juzheng's Qingzhang from the second year of Wanli did intensify the contradiction between people and land in Ming Dynasty, and intensified the contradiction between the common people and the gentry, and finally led to the intensification of the contradiction to the point of irreconcilability.

If you don't know the zhang, you will die immediately; if you don't know the zhang, you will die a few years later.

This is the biggest dilemma Zhang Juzheng is facing.

Guangmao's second objection is about cost.

Who will bear the price of the Examination Method and the Qingzhang Returning Field Method?But what Guangmao saw was the coolies of the poor. In this [-]-word memoir, Guangmao fiercely criticized Daming's bureaucracy, greed for merit, deception, corruption, and many other evil deeds. , and even identified the group of Ming scholars as the root of the Ming Dynasty's chaos and the chief culprit of the Ming Dynasty's subjugation.

Zhu Yijun only singled out some of them. Guangmao’s memorandum said that most of the Ming gentry were bureaucrats and descendants of the past dynasties. He compared the bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty with the gentry. .

"So what should we do?" Zhu Yijun looked at Guangmao and asked: "Guangmao, if you don't know the property, the Ming Dynasty will lose a lot of money. If the property is cleared, the people will be even more miserable. What should I do?"

"Chen Cheng doesn't know." Guangmao and a dozen censors look at me and I look at you, and they can only answer truthfully. They have no choice, stronger than Zhang Juzheng, and they have no good way to solve this problem, let alone them.

Guangmao and the censors are only responsible for impeaching and finding the shortcomings of the government order. If you Zhang Juzheng can't solve the problem, what kind of country are you!

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "The court is in trouble, the people are in trouble, everyone is in trouble, so we can only resign ourselves to it, Guangmao, is there really no proper way?"

Guangmao was silent for a long time, but still shook his head and said, "I still don't know."

Wang Chonggu was eager to try, tried to speak, but stopped talking, he felt that it was better not to talk, and to do things quietly, not to be a bird.

Zhu Yijun obviously noticed Wang Chonggu's hesitation. Wang Chonggu really wanted to talk, but because he was Zhang Siwei's uncle, it was inconvenient for him to talk, and he would be scolded if he didn't speak, and even worse if he spoke.

"Big Sikou, what do you want to say?" Zhu Yijun asked with a smile.

"Can I speak?" Wang Chonggu kept rubbing the thumb of his right hand on his index finger. He really wanted to say it, but he couldn't hold it anymore.

Wang Chonggu really knew.

"Since it's in Yilun Hall, it's a place to sit and talk about the Tao. It's a place to talk. There's nothing you can't say. If you can't say it, I'll just pull Guangmao in front of you in Wenhua Hall and scold me. Come again. What is the purpose of setting up this altar in Yilun Hall and practicing this method? Say it." Zhu Yijun gave Wang Chonggu the right to speak.

Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, supervisor of the Yongding woolen official factory, implementer of the weak national policy, and prince Shaobao Wang Chonggu, why can't they speak? Since Wang Chonggu was taken out of Zhang Siwei's case at the beginning, there is no reason to fill it back.

Wang Chonggu was one of the ministers of Ming Dynasty.

"It seems that I have already given the answer to this question in light of the matter." Wang Chonggu heard His Majesty's approval, and said directly: "The core essence of "The World Is Trapped in Mergers and Rescue Hooligans"."

Zhu Yijun smiled slightly and said, "Of course, when will the chief minister enter the cabinet? The courtiers have recommended him several times, and I have ordered many times, but the chief minister still refuses to join the cabinet. Do you think that I am not polite enough to the chief minister?"

"I absolutely dare not. I really am supervising the construction of the tripod. I dare not slack off. I am afraid that it will delay your majesty's use. I implore your majesty to learn from it." Wang Chonggu was so frightened that he hurriedly replied.

If Wang Chonggu wanted to join the cabinet, he would give him a specific time, but he still didn’t want to join the cabinet, he would be roasted on the grill. Zhang Juzheng and Lu Tiaoyang could stand the test, but Wang Chonggu asked himself, he couldn’t stand the test.

Baked it and it was literally to die for.

Zhu Yijun looked at Guangmao and asked, "Wait, did you know about the proposal made by the Chief Sikou?"

"I don't know." Guangmao said in amazement.

He really didn't know that Wang Chonggu had written such a book of memorials. This was a lack of information. Wang Chonggu's [-]-word book about resettlement of rogues was mainly read by the emperor and the cabinet. As for the courtiers and censors, he had never heard of it.

"Look at it and you'll understand." Zhu Yijun looked at Guangmao and said, "The second reason for objection, the memorabilia of Da Sikou can answer your doubts."

"Feng Daban, Zhang Daban, give everyone a copy of the engraved arrangements."

Zhu Yijun asked Feng Bao and Zhang Hong to start publishing Wang Chonggu's memorial. This memorial could perfectly answer Guangmao's doubts, and he had already prepared it.

How to ensure the interests of ordinary people in Qingzhang, return to the field, and one whip method, the four items listed by Huang Qing are naturally the most important, and changing the means of production and changing the production relationship of Daming is another method.

This is Zhu Yijun's answer.

Guangmao and many censors read it for a long time, more than 5 words, it took a long time to study carefully, but just glance at it, you can know what Wang Chonggu is doing.

Why did the gentry dare to set up head poles and hang the refugees to death? Because the land has a strong personal attachment relationship. To be more clear, because they have mastered the land and the means of production, the gentry has mastered the power and violence of life and death in the local area. The people are just the meat on the chopping board, and the gentry is the knife.

The most important thing is to change the production tools and means of production and transform the strong personal dependence relationship into a free employment relationship.

It is true that there will be new contradictions, such as labor-capital conflicts, but this relationship is still more progressive than the relationship between slaves and slave owners, long-term workers and big landlords.

Wang Chonggu once again affirmed one thing, that is, Zhang Siwei was wrong.

It is true that the emperor has the power of life and death, but the emperor will never kill for no reason. This is bottom-up and top-down, opposite and unified. This is also what Confucius said: guilty of heaven, nothing can be done. Pray also.

A decree, judging whether it is fooling the emperor from the perspective of cost, can be considered from two aspects of metaphysics and metaphysics.

"I understand." Guangmao hastily read the [-] words, and he already understood why the chief Sikou was able to survive the Zhang Siwei case. Troubles have existed in all dynasties.

As for Da Sikou, it seems that he has found a brand new solution, at least in theory, it is feasible.

With so many talents in Ming Dynasty, didn't anyone think of using this method or path?The answer is yes.

In the 25th year of Wanli, Liang Gui, a soldier and horse commander, explored this road, but was refuted by Yang Yingwen, who was given by the criminal department at that time.

The reason for the dispute was that the official dynasty in the Marco Polo Bridge Sweepstakes Bureau severely punished the coolies of the kilns, and the distribution of points was too heavy, which led to a civil uprising.

After 15 years of Wanli, Emperor Wanli, who lost Zhang Juzheng, set up mine supervisors to collect money everywhere, and as a result, there was a lot of trouble, and the Lugouqiao sub-bureau was just one of the small cases.

There was a civil uprising at the Lugouqiao sub-office. Some people in the court said that the sub-office would be abolished, and some said that they would teach the kilns a lesson.

Liang Gui’s reason is very similar to Wang Chonggu’s. It’s because there are too many refugees. Find something for the refugees to do and make a living. It is the most bitter, and there are the most people, all rogues and poor people, once they rise up, wouldn't it be unthinkable, it is better to supervise the coal mining and benefit workers.

But Yang Yingwen's rebuttal was to criticize Liang Gui's intention, saying: Coal is needed for daily use by the people. There is no firewood in Gyeonggi and more stone coal is used.With a meager profit of a thousand pieces of gold, regardless of people's livelihood, Liang Gui pleaded to help the workers and help the people, but he planned to seize it.

Liang Gui was terrified by such criticism, and asked to be appointed.

As the referee, how did Emperor Wanli express his position?

Emperor Wanli did not express his position. He did not reply at all to the impeachment of the dynasty by the officials in the court, and to the debate between Liang Gui and Yang Yingwen.

The Wanli Emperor, who lost Zhang Juzheng, could not fight courtiers, nor could he fight against powerful gentry, so he could only send mine supervisors everywhere. Emperor Wanli had actually lost control of the court.

Did Emperor Wanli regret liquidating Zhang Juzheng, forcing Zhang Juzheng's eldest son to death, and abolishing Zhang Juzheng's new laws, including the examination method of scribbling names and filling in names in the bottom book, so that he lost the right to promote and transfer courtiers?

Does Emperor Wanli miss the days when Zhang Juzheng was in poverty, but he was still somewhat powerful?

It is not clear whether to regret or not, but Emperor Wanli still realized the importance of Zhang Juzheng.

In the 24th year of Wanli, a fire at the Qianqing Palace burned down Zhang Juzheng's official book screen, and the Emperor Wanli moved to Qixiang Palace, and made a small screen by his side specifically to imitate the official book screen. It's been a year, and the memorials are already to the point where they can't be read or returned. Specializing in this official book screen can't play the role of the book screen anymore.

"Zhuo Zhong Zhi" said: 24 years later, the temple lived in Qixiang Palace, and another small screen, more than two feet high, was installed in the front hall of Qixiang Palace.

When I see something, I can't help but think of it as that person's thing, and I have to make an imitation product, and I am always with me. The behavior of Emperor Wanli in the 24th year of Wanli is more or less a little bit of the warmth of the year. and regret it.

Even if Emperor Wanli saw Liang Gui's speech, even if Emperor Wanli approved Liang Gui's memorial, who would do it?
Since Zhang Juzheng left, Zhang Juzheng's examination and success method based on focusing on officials has been completely abolished. Most of the officials have been demoted in the name of the Zhang Party. They just want to run the Xishan Coal Bureau. Who will do it?Who will execute it? !

It probably fulfilled the sentence: when Mr. Zhang was around, he didn't feel the difference, but after Mr. Zhang passed away, he couldn't compare him.

Zhu Yijun can now discuss the implementation of the state's government orders with the officials in the Yilun hall. Although Zhang Juzheng said that your majesty is wise, he is the only person here, and no one dares to fool him, the emperor, because he fools the emperor. Tai Tu will really be angry.

Zhang Juzheng did not speak, and his speech on behalf of Guangmao was entirely based on making the New Deal better and making the road to Ming Dynasty less bumpy.

After answering Guangmao's second question, Zhu Yijun continued: "The reason why Guangmao and others oppose the one-whip law is that since Xingli, besides the fact that the Ming Dynasty is poor and the people are more miserable. Merchants enjoy the benefits of chasing after the end, farmers lose their heart to live happily, and it is very inconvenient for the people, rituals and music are ruined, and people's hearts are lost."

"This is something we have to consider. Let me give you an example. The boat business of the Sun family in Songjiang is that the merchants can enjoy the fun because they have a lot of money in their hands, and the prostitutes are just fish and meat. Nan Ya Ti Shuai Luo Bingliang reported that there was a servant on the painting boat, Zhao Wuliu, nicknamed Goudan."

Luo Bingliang specially profiled the life of Zhao Wuliu, the servant on the boat, and outlined Zhao Wuliu's life for half of his life.

Luo Bingliang was just a rumor, telling His Majesty how the servants in the south of the Yangtze River lived. His son Luo Sigong beat the emperor every day in the palace, and he had no sense of obedience, but Luo Bingliang did.

He heard about these things in order to prevent His Majesty from living in Jiuchong and being completely unaware of the hardships of the poor and coolies. Such a one-sided view of the problem is not good for the country.

Zhu Yijun told the story of Zhao Wuliu. The business of painting boats is in full swing, which is a concrete manifestation of the collapse of etiquette and music.

Guangmao speaks according to the facts.

"Your Majesty, why don't you issue a decree to reprimand?" Feng Bao said in a low voice, since this painting boat has been criticized by name, wouldn't it be better to ban it?After all, the face of the Celestial Dynasty is very important, if Li Yashi knows it, wouldn't it be a surprise to Youbang?

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "Let Sun Keyi do it. He does this business and pays taxes to the imperial court. After paying the taxes, he is willing to donate money to the Maritime Academy to promote the development of Maritime Studies. For others, they will not even pay the tax. "

This kind of thing itself is very difficult to prohibit, even if the imperial court orders it to be prohibited, will the gentry be obedient and stop playing?They will only become another way of playing. Now this situation is already a scene that all parties can barely accept. After all, the court can still take care of one or two. If it really becomes an underground industry, the court will not even take a look. Disaster.

Some things are like rumors, the more they are banned, the more serious they become.

"Then how should we solve it?" Zhu Yijun looked at Guangmao and asked him what he thought, and Guangmao was in charge of objecting. He had no way at all, not even a saint, let alone how to deal with this phenomenon. bingo.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng didn't have a good solution. Some people's hearts were lost, in Zhang Juzheng's view, it was bearable.

If you want to do something but are afraid of being scolded, you will not be able to do it.

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "So far, we have found that some decrees are not perfect when they are implemented, and they cannot cover everything. They may not be the best, but they are the decrees that are most suitable for the current environment."

"When we look at this decree afterwards, we also need to consider the current world situation before making a judgment, instead of judging the decree at that time based on the current world situation."

"Obviously, a whip method is not omnipotent. The same is true for the test method. It is not perfect, but it is the most suitable at the moment."

"Let's be here today."

Zhu Yijun came forward to respond to several questions about a whip method, stood up, and ended the debate on this topic.

Zhu Yijun allowed to criticize the New Deal, oppose the New Deal, find all kinds of shortcomings of the New Deal, and then improve it, but he did not allow nonsense, and Chen Youren was personally executed by the emperor, which still brought a positive impact. At least these writers are determined not to dare nonsense.

The emperor really killed people.

On the way back to the palace, Zhu Yijun studied a method of whipping. Guangmao mentioned combining silver and power with household registration and salt banknotes into the land. The field mu is the tax base, and collecting silver is the appearance of a whipping method. The core content is to put salt money into the fields.

Translation Translation is actually a piece of cake.

　Whether Emperor Wanli missed his teacher in his later years, and whether he regretted abolishing the New Deal, is already unknown, but after the New Deal was completely abolished in the 12th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty, the building will collapse, and no one will be the Optimus Prime up.When Mr. Zhang was there, he didn't feel any difference; after Mr. Zhang passed away, he couldn't see the comparison.Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! !
