I'm really not doing business

Chapter 281 I have a solution
Speculating on five-masted transoceanic ships involves military power. How many to build, where to deploy them, and how many firearms to use must be reported directly to the court for approval and to obtain the emperor's approval. As for the sale, Antonio must come to the capital and obtain the emperor's approval in person. With his approval, this thing is something that cannot be touched, and the unit price of a three-masted ocean-going ship is too high, which is not conducive to circulation.

Gold lacked stable output and the unit price of seagoing ships was too high, so worsted woolen became the most suitable product.

This business was started by Wang Qian throwing firewood into the fire. This is why Wang Qian is a bad guy who has done all kinds of bad things and is full of evil.

Cutting off someone's financial path is like killing one's parents. The wrong has its own owner and the debtor has its owner.

But the most terrifying thing about the worsted woolen business is that no specific sinner can be found at the moment when the oil is boiling in the fire.

The main products of Yongding and Yongsheng woolen factories are woolen woolen products, with worsted woolen products attached, which are supplied to the royal family as luxury items; while Yanxing Tower and Trading House are only trading as middlemen; the Ming Gongs of the imperial court are In order to cultivate virtue and be gentle to the distant people, he was worried about the empire's border troubles; the emperor's decision in this process was to let the grasslands raise more sheep and less horses.

So, on the day of the explosion, the powerful people involved in this matter were very powerful. Where to find a specific criminal?All they could do was wail, and they were willing to admit defeat. After all, they had been involved in this big casino from the very beginning, so they were willing to admit defeat.

Before the explosion, the emperor pretended to issue a few persuasive edicts. As for whether to listen or not, it depends on the powerful right-wingers.

Wang Qian, Wang Chonggu, and Zhu Yijun are all scholars, the kind of pure scholars who are full of evil ideas.

Zhu Yijun walked around the Yongding Woolen Factory and crossed the bridge to the Yongsheng Woolen Factory on the other side of the river. The Yongsheng Woolen Factory was more like a nursery, where women and children were housed. The main division of labor was weaving, with some worsted and others Schools for woolen spinning and child care were all built next to Yongsheng Woolen Factory.

He likes to come here very much. The children of the craftsmen here are all educated. This is Wang Chonggu's way of relying on the people's self-respect, so that when the court and the emperor want to take action against him, they should first weigh his ability.

Zhu Yijun discovered an interesting thing. These factories in Wang Chonggu all had isolation zones. After asking a little, he found out that they were specially built for fire prevention. Apparently Wang Chonggu was preventing some gangsters from setting fires, and the walls of the courtyard were covered with glass particles. There are nearly a hundred hounds kept in the official factory.

"Are those all guest soldiers?" Zhu Yijun asked Wang Chonggu as he looked at the factory guards who were big and round and had murderous looks on their faces.

"Your Majesty is wise." Wang Chonggu bowed his head and said.

Five hundred guest soldiers were placed in the two official factories. These guest soldiers all survived after fighting on the battlefield. The annual salary of these guest soldiers is twelve taels of silver, starting work is 16 taels of silver, and during the New Year is [-] taels of silver. The total is [-] Liang, so these guest soldiers did their duty.

To raise so many guest soldiers, it is indeed necessary to have so many. There are more than 3 craftsmen in two official factories. These [-] guest soldiers are not only government servants, but also factory guards. They are also responsible for raising vicious dogs. Originally, the vicious dogs saw strangers , about to bark, but as soon as those red-helmeted generals stood there, these vicious dogs lay directly on the ground, sticking out their tongues and raising their tails.

The Tiqi around Zhu Yijun were selected from the distant marquises of Duntai. They were active on the grassland and went deep into the prison camp. Standing there, they could deter these vicious dogs without showing any ferocity, even if they were The visiting soldiers who were killing people could only respect these distant princes when they saw them. Under such harsh conditions on the grassland, going deep into the prison camp to explore the news required faith and even more tyrannical strength.

When the little emperor arrived at the official factory, he greeted him in advance. Everywhere was clean, even the gaps in the floor tiles had been wetted. Zhu Yijun walked through the spinning, thread and cloth handicraft workshops, and then inspected This is the official residence where the Ming Dynasty craftsmen lived. These official residences were built in a unified manner. They were not steel-concrete structures but brick-concrete structures, with prefabricated floor slabs covering the rows of official residences.

"Go in and take a look." Zhu Yijun walked to a building, walked in, and then walked out slightly angrily.

It wasn't that there was anything dirty inside, or that he saw something he shouldn't have seen. In order to welcome the inspection, the rats in the rat hole were split in half vertically, but as soon as he entered, the craftsmen were all lined up. Kneeling in front of the big house, waiting for the Holy Master, there was also a Tiqi standing beside these craftsmen, for fear that something would happen. The people kneeling must be full of complaints, and Zhu Yijun could see sweat on the tip of his nose.

No matter how long the cheap Confucians knelt, Zhu Yijun would not feel any emotion in his heart. Even if he wept and begged for mercy, Zhu Yijun would not have any compassion. When he fought with the cheap Confucians in the court, he would never show any mercy. Zhu criticized the murderer. , personally imprisoned, when heads were rolling and blood flowed into rivers, there was never a feeling that he couldn't bear to look at it, because those people deserved to die.

But inspecting an official residence made the little emperor, who was not afraid of anything, feel very sad. This year, the craftsman handed over 300 million taels of silver to the internal and state funds, and the transaction tax on worsted woolen cloth exceeded For 40 taels, these craftsmen directly created a large amount of wealth for the national and internal funds of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Juzheng was so powerful that he gave Zhu Yijun 120 million taels of silver in pocket money in one year. The craftsmen gave nearly 200 million taels of silver directly from their own funds.

"There are tens of thousands of Ande Guangsha, sheltering the world's poor people with joy."

"It's very good, it's very good. Although there is no fire kang and it is not a heated pavilion, the walls are as thick as a brick, and with this thick quilt, no one can freeze to death." Zhu Yijun spoke highly of the row of official buildings. He quoted He read Du Fu's "Song of Thatched Cottage Broken by the Autumn Wind" and praised Wang Chonggu for protecting poor people and protecting their families.

At first glance, the quilts were all bought together, and they were new. They were probably purchased with New Year silver. What Wang Chonggu gave was not cash, but New Year goods. The purchase was in kind. The first reason was to fight corruption. This was paid for by Wang Chonggu himself. Real objects are not easy to be corrupted; the second is the current situation of the official factory. In fact, the silver was given to the craftsmen, but the craftsmen were reluctant to spend it. If they had any money, they would carefully wrap it in red silk and hide it carefully.

Wang Chonggu did a good job, and Zhu Yijun was really satisfied.

"This is all thanks to His Majesty's grace." Wang Chonggu has discovered his own survival skills. As long as he protects these craftsmen, he can live well.

What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom.

Under the education of Zhang Juzheng, the emperor obviously preferred the poor coolies. If he wanted to express his loyalty to the emperor and the country, there was no need to be a flattering minister. He only needed to protect these poor coolies and let them have food to eat. Then he could learn from the emperor. If you switch to the Holy Family, you can get blessings in some things.

For example, someone recently impeached Wang Chonggu for misappropriating funds for the palace's construction, but His Majesty pardoned him.

The emperor's wedding was originally scheduled for December of the fifth year of Wanli, but because he was under 16 years old, it had to be postponed to the following year, so it was finally decided to be held in March of the sixth year of Wanli.

Wang Chonggu has been building it according to the construction period of December of the fifth year of Wanli. In this process, the rigidity of the court began to show. The allocation of internal funds and state funds was always very slow, and there were many procedures and processes to go through. Wang Chonggu In order to meet the construction deadline, he took a lot of his own money to advance, and then waited for the court's approval. He had always done this, whether it was cleaning up the fire scene, digging foundations, tamping foundations, lowering columns, backfilling, pouring the main building, constructing the lime factory, etc. wait.

Wang Chonggu's behavior of first making advance payments and then waiting for the court to allocate funds was obviously against the rules, so he was targeted by the supervisory censor. A series of impeachments floated into the Wenyuan Pavilion, and the emperor always put a cross on it. It wasn't even brought to court.

This construction project especially involves manpower. Only by giving enough money can we fully mobilize the enthusiasm of labor. If we don't give enough money, it will take three to five years to build a two-story building, or it may even be completely unfinished.

During the entire construction of the imperial palace, the royal palace, the martial arts school, the pagoda, Prince De's palace, and the emperor's palace, Wang Chonggu lost a lot of money, because some of the bonuses for passing the exams were all given by Wang Chonggu in order to meet the construction deadline. , he established it himself, and he paid for this part of the examination himself. When the imperial censors impeached him, the emperor would naturally forgive him.

These major construction projects overseen by Wang Chonggu still caused great harm to his personal reputation. After the emperor forgave him, rumors and rumors about Wang Chonggu began to spread in the public, and some miscellaneous newspapers even reported it seriously. The special report claimed that Wang Chonggu had embezzled huge amounts of money during this process and was only pardoned because the holy family was in Long.

And Wang Chonggu himself is not easy to refute. Some things will only become darker and darker. The moment he ends, as a wise man, he loses.

"Recently, many people have accused Cifu of being greedy for money. Why didn't Cifu refute this matter?" Zhu Yijun asked Wang Chonggu's opinion.

Wang Chonggu said very helplessly: "How can I refute this? As soon as I came forward to say it, it seemed like there was something wrong. After a while, no one talked about it."

Wang Qian was a little aggrieved. Not only did the old Wang family not make any money on these major projects supervised by the capital, but they also lost a lot of money. For the heads of the nine tribes, this small amount of money was nothing. The loss of money and the scolding made Wang Qian particularly uncomfortable.

But as my father said, don't pay attention to it, the more you describe it, the darker it gets.

"I have an idea, Feng Daban. After you return to Beijing, go find Wan Dazai and ask him to do this, this, and this, and the matter will be settled." Zhu Yijun said to Feng Bao.

"I obey the decree." Feng Bao was stunned when he heard this, and then understood what His Majesty meant.

Wang Qian couldn't help but ask: "What is so, so, so, so?"

He was so curious as to what the emperor's ideas were. The young emperor always had many unexpected ideas. Now that Wang Chonggu's reputation was involved, Wang Qian wanted to ask clearly.

"Actually, it's very simple, just expand the attack area." Zhu Yijun smiled and explained what to do in this way.

In fact, it is very simple. Let Wan Shihe come forward and reverse this trend of public opinion.

Cutting in from a weird angle, this evil trend was broken. This angle was to expand the attack area from Wang Chonggu himself to the group of officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Let the Capital Newspaper take stock of various large-scale construction projects in the Ming Dynasty, including the Great Wall and forts in Yanshan, Liaodong, Xuanda, Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia areas, repair and dredging of canals, bridges and roads, etc.

The logic is also very simple. Wang Chonggu is in charge of the construction of the imperial palace. He dares to spend huge sums of money because it is the emperor's home!Is there more darkness hidden in places that other emperors cannot see?
This move to expand the scope of the attack can be said to be extremely rogue. It transferred public doubts about Wang Chonggu personally to doubts about the officials of the Ming Dynasty. Wasn't it meant to target my ministers?Wang Chonggu is peeling off his skin, and these officials are going to lose a piece of their flesh!
Taking advantage of this momentum of public opinion, the Ming Dynasty Swordsman Hai Rui and the evil Wang Qian once again took action to set off an anti-corruption storm. This was Zhu Yijun's combination punch.

"Your Majesty, you are really wise and wise in reading!" Wang Qian could not say what was in his heart. Your Majesty is truly worthy of the title of scholar. He is sinister and ruthless, and will do anything to the best of his ability. Wang Qian immediately sensed the influence of similar people. smell.

Like-smelling, like raccoon dogs.

Wang Chonggu was silent for a moment and said, "Thank you for your grace."

The emperor's decision was naturally based on force, but in the process, Wang Chonggu's personal reputation was indeed protected. This move tied Wang Chonggu's personal reputation to the overall reputation of Ming officials.

"It's just a small matter." Zhu Yijun was walking in Yongsheng Woolen Factory with his hands behind his back, and then his eyes lit up and he recognized Liu Qiniang.

It was Liu Qiniang, the courtesan who Zhu Yijun angrily criticized Sun Jigao, the number one scholar in the second year of Wanli, who was stopped in Yanxing Tower and wanted to teach him the great joy of the world. Liu Qiniang was very conspicuous among the Zhi Niangs. She had lived in the building for a long time and her skin was fair. The ten fingers are naturally long and slender without touching the spring water.

Zhu Yijun discovered that the maid next to Liu Qiniang was still the same maid who had been with Yanxing Tower. It was obviously Liu Qiniang who helped redeem her body.

The emperor whispered a few words to Feng Bao. Feng Bao's expression changed drastically, and he looked embarrassed. If the Queen of the Central Palace knew about this, he would probably not be able to eat and carry it around!
The emperor actually wanted to declare an audience with Liu Qiniang!

Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao's face, shook his sleeves hard and said, "What are you thinking about? I just asked her about her life in the official factory!" Zhu Yijun may not know as much about the joy of life as the courtesan Liu Qiniang. He didn't have any interest, and Wang Yaozhuo didn't know what he was doing. He kept all the 36 people who were selected to enter the palace, and selected the best ones to be concubines, and the rest served as palace maids. The provincial emperor went out to play in the wild, what was going on at home? There are all kinds of things.

Zhu Yijun was very worried about his waist after marriage. Before the wedding, the queen had married 36 beauties for him.

Liu Qiniang's life was just as Feng Baozou heard before. It was very comfortable. After Zhu Yijun asked a few questions about the treatment in the official factory, he let Liu Qiniang leave. After confirming whether the New Year's silver had been paid in place, Tiqi visited and supervised the censor. After monitoring, Zhu Yijun got the answer, and after confirmation from the emperor himself, the New Year's Eve silver and the construction ceremony were all implemented in place.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty doesn't allow the matter of fixed sharing. I took too much and I really can't sleep." Seeing that the emperor was happy, Wang Chonggu asked again for orders to reduce the share, which was something he had repeatedly sought.

His memorial was marked with an X by the emperor and was beaten back, which made Wang Chonggu very anxious.

"Second Assistant, a thousand dollars buys horse bones. The more Second Assistant takes, the more people will continue to work for him. If you really can't bear it, treat the craftsmen better." Zhu Yijun shook his head. This supervisor could not do it. Take it, the general office can't take it, and even the big heads can't take it. How can the craftsmen take it?
This distribution is not good at all, and it is the best distribution method now.

The wool from the woolen official factory is Wang Chonggu's way, and the official factory is also a business.

The national treasury takes the big part, Wang Chonggu, the general office, the agent, the big part takes the small part, and the craftsmen can still drink soup.

Zhu Yijun really didn't have high requirements for the gentry and right-wing officials. When they were so fat, they could let the common people take a breather, drink some soup, and occasionally eat meat, which was considered a loyal country.

"The second assistant is loyal to the emperor and the country. This year, he will still give you a hundred silver coins, a flying fish pattern crane cloak, and five bottles of the national cellar. Since you are a favor, you should work hard." Before leaving, Zhu Yijun expressed his gratitude to Wang Chonggu. , There are not many things, but this reward from Zhu Yijun during the New Year is a reassurance.

Zhu Yijun would reward Wang Chonggu with a crane cloak every New Year, which could be regarded as a guarantee that Wang Chonggu would live until next year.

Wang Chonggu took his son Wang Qian to thank the Holy Grace and send His Majesty away.

"Your Majesty thinks this official factory is well run, so it must be good. Your Majesty comes here several times a year. When he goes to the Yicheng Mansion in Xishan, he has to turn over and take a look. Can you?" Wang Qian waited until The emperor's car turned a corner and was no longer visible before he stood up, looked at the honor guard going away, and said with a smile on his face.

The emperor inspected the official woolen factories of Xishan Coal Bureau, Yongding and Yongsheng several times a year, and Tiqi visited them three times a month. The supervisory censor was always waiting to pout Wang Chonggu so that he could eat meat and woolen cloth. The official factory is a big piece of fat.

The reason why there is such a strong supervision is because the fundamental purpose of the court and the emperor is to weaken the offensive nature of the grassland and let them raise less horses and more sheep, and the rest is just a matter of convenience.

Wang Chonggu had a deep understanding that the projects that the emperor personally supervised were really stressful, and he even gave [-]% of the profits to his family. He was very motivated. He was naturally very motivated and knew how to work hard, and he was really good at doing business. Very good at it.

"The big boss who is pestering Liu Qiniang, let the general office talk to him. Stop pestering Liu Qiniang. If he causes trouble again, it will be difficult for everyone. If Liu Qiniang doesn't want to, why should she keep pestering her." Wang Chonggu told Wang Qian.

When Liu Qiniang was an oiran, she drank too much cold medicine and was unable to have children. She did not bother others, so she adopted one herself. Liu Qiniang refused decisively, but she just liked this boss, and the pestering was not the kind of forcing her to come to her door, but giving him something every now and then. Rice, flour, oil and grains, naturally there were rumors in this factory. Although nothing happened, it caused some bad effects.

This matter must be stopped here. If Liu Qiniang is driven to death by rumors, it will be difficult for everyone.

Rumors always kill people.

Wang Chonggu was really concerned about and very angry about the rumors that he had spent huge sums of money in the construction of the imperial palace. He obviously handled the matter properly, but in the end he was scolded so bloody that he could not refute a word.

Fortunately, Your Majesty has a solution.

Zhu Yijun really had a way. After he returned to Beijing, Feng Bao went to the Ministry of Rites to find Wan Shihe. After drinking a cup of tea, Feng Bao left. In less than half an hour, Wan Shihe had written a magnificent article. , sent to major newspapers for publication.

This heroic article was signed by Zhu Zhongxing. This pen name was considered to be Zhang Juzheng's vest, and it was irrefutable evidence of Zhang Juzheng's intention to overstep his will. However, the court officials knew very well that this pen name came from His Majesty the Emperor.

The opening chapter of Xiongwen starts with the large hole in the Great Wall built in the first year of Wanli, and recounts the corruption cases from the first year of Wanli to the fifth year of Wanli, such as the dredging of the canal waterway by Yin Gu Zhangzhi of Yingtian Prefecture in the second year of Wanli. From 48 taels of silver to the embezzlement of 36 taels, to the Shaanxi 72 Yingbao corruption case supervised by Shaanxi Governor Shi Maohua, to the Henan City Wall case, and so on, the corruption is specific to the person, the problem, and the impact. Down to the numbers.

At the end, Zhu Zhongxing concluded: Anti-corruption will lead to the destruction of friends and the party; failure to combat corruption will lead to the destruction of the country and the race.

Anti-corruption also belongs to the emperor's New Deal, not to Zhang Juzheng's New Deal. Zhang Juzheng's New Deal does not include anti-corruption because he has long accepted bribes from military generals to protect them and supported them. Qi Jiguang, Liu Xian and his son, Ying Yangbo, Zhang Yuanxun, etc. Wait, Zhang Juzheng received their contribution of 2000 taels a year and really worked hard.

The public opinion discussing the construction of Wang Chonggu's imperial palace immediately disappeared, leaving only miscellaneous newspapers in Quanjin, Quanchu, Quanzhe, Nanya and other places, which were still reprinting Zhu Zhongxing's editorial.

"It's weird." Zhu Yijun put down several newspapers in his hand with a smile on his face.

If you don’t occupy the high ground of public opinion, others will point fingers at you from the high ground.

When the scope of corruption was expanded from Wang Chonggu personally to the entire bureaucracy, public opinion became weird. Everyone immediately started doing their own things and stopped making noise about Wang Chonggu's personal issues. This issue cannot be entangled any longer. If you go down, I'm afraid a lot of people will die.

Obviously we should be discussing the many problems caused by corruption, but the editorial of the newspaper stopped abruptly and chose to look away from him.

"Probably he wanted to settle the matter." Feng Bao understood this change of public opinion very well. The emperor used the amplification that the cheap Confucianists were very good at to deal with these cheap Confucians. These cheap Confucians could only take a step back. Stop this windy noise.

"They want to settle the matter? It's too late!"

"It's like a war. Everyone can only decide the beginning of the war, but not the end." Zhu Yijun threw aside the miscellaneous newspaper in his hand, with a cruel smile on his lips, starting from the place that made him happy After returning to the palace, the emperor once again became the little emperor of Deliang and Youchong, who was mainly ruthless and pursued fiercely.

"I issued an edict to inform all the officials in the capital that this year's comet will shine through the sun, and heaven and man will be alert to discuss the harm of corruption as the topic." Zhu Yijun not only refused to let this trend of public opinion stop, but chose to continue to add fuel to the fire.

This is the emperor's decree to write a topic composition. Everyone must write it. If you don't write it, you can't do it. To discuss the harm of rampant corruption is to let them slap their own mouths and create public opinion for the unsheathing of the divine sword in the coming year.

There are still too few inscriptions in the Happy Forest of Steles outside Chaoyang Gate, and they do not have enough educational significance.

"I obey the order." Feng Bao obeyed his leader's orders. Why bother with the emperor if he has nothing to do? Why not just have a good New Year?He insisted on targeting Wang Sikou's official factory and incurred the emperor's thunder. Now it is too late to kowtow and confess.

Zhu Yijun held another memorial and his expression became strange.

This was Ma Ziqiang's memorial and his political promise to join the cabinet, but his declaration was aimed at the staff.

Wan Shihe, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, deals with matters of the Ministry of Rites all day long, while Ma Ziqiang, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, targets the Ministry of Personnel. The court always maintains a dynamic balance through a strange rationalization.

Ma Ziqiang's political promise in joining the cabinet is to unswervingly rectify the unscrupulous Confucians.

The first thing is to completely prevent unworthy Confucians from entering the Ming Dynasty's official career system and causing damage and harm to both the Ming Dynasty and the outside world.

From the Jiajing period onwards, the imperial officials of the Ming Dynasty were generally divided into two types, the clear stream and the turbid stream. With the passage of time, by the Wanli period, they had been divided into Xunli and Qingliu.

Those who can accomplish things are called Xunli, and those who cannot accomplish things are called Qingliu. According to Ma Ziqiang's memorial, it is indeed the matter of the Ministry of Rites, politics, and the righteousness of people. At present, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is full of chaos, how to rectify it? The wind has become a matter of the Ministry of Rites.

The so-called Qingliu's destruction of the Ming Dynasty system was systemic. They filled the Ming Dynasty's officialdom. They held power but did nothing, creating a power vacuum. If there is no power vacuum, others must have stolen the power.

When the base Confucians make up the majority, the corruption of officialdom becomes inevitable.

Ma Ziqiang was just a little bit close to calling the humble Confucians the ministers of the country's subjugation. The humble Confucians began to slack off when they were in their posts. Go, even if the court gives a little admonishment, he will lie down, cry, make trouble, and hang himself in turn. This is extremely fatal to the destruction of officialdom.

The solution given by Ma Ziqiang is: first, if you become a lower-ranking official in the first year of office, you will be dismissed and returned to your hometown to be replaced; second, if you are a middle-ranking official for three consecutive years, you will also be fined and wait for work. The power.

The third is to take the arithmetic test in school. If you fail the test, you will not be appointed as an official.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was endless debate about whether arithmetic should be included in the imperial examination. At the same time, the retro-returnists were extremely resistant to arithmetic, and the retro-confucianists and the Confucianists were highly overlapped. Therefore, the use of arithmetic in selection can now become one of the basis for judging their political tendencies.

The revitalization of arithmetic and the bypass of degrees was promoted by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. Zhu Zaiyu, the prince of Prince Zheng, started from the astronomical almanac as the starting point. This was advocated by the emperor. If you are not willing to learn arithmetic, you will not learn well and you will be loyal to the emperor. If we can't even talk about it, how can we build the country?

Ma Ziqiang's promise to join the cabinet was to rectify the unscrupulous Confucians, and the admission criteria for the primary election officials were to set limits in arithmetic. There were [-] questions, one point for each question, and if you passed [-]%, you could not be selected if you got less than [-]%. official.

Compared with Sun Piyang's lottery method, Ma Ziqiang used arithmetic to set limits on official administration, which can be described as a precise strike.

"I order the Ministry of Civil Affairs to know that next year's court meeting, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will select officials, join arithmetic, and the old people in Daming Pavilion will be scolded. It is all my fault, and I am responsible." Zhu Yijun Zhu approved Ma Ziqiang's memorial and asked the Ministry of Civil Affairs to implement it .

After Ma Ziqiang's memorial was approved by the pavilion, he was afraid that he would be vilified by thousands of scholars and would be tortured until death.
