I'm really not doing business

Chapter 322 Their place is not suitable for farming
After his sentence, Wang Chonggu went up to the city gate building to deliver a message to His Majesty. The matter was finally over. Wang Chonggu breathed a long sigh of relief when he looked at the people gathered under the city gate. At this point, his own, his children's and grandchildren's, The lives of his nine clans were truly saved.

With the emperor's order, he killed the entire Confucius family. When it comes to criminals in the future, he and Ji Gang are the same sycophants and traitors.

He does not regret, he does not regret killing the whole family of the Confucius family. Even if his grave is full of garbage in the future, he does not regret it. Those disgusting things done by the Confucius family deserve to die, even Huishantang in Xujie. It has become a bit of a good thing. After all, Xu Jie really brought up those children who can grow up.

Today, Wang Chonggu, a remnant of the old era, has finally boarded His Majesty's ship. This petition has finally landed, and the heart that has been raised in his throat has finally landed.

This was what Wang Chonggu thought he had done. In fact, Zhu Yijun believed that when he received Wang Chonggu's certificate of surrender, it was Wang Chonggu who settled 19 refugees in the caves of the Great Wall in Xuanda. From that time on, Zhu Yijun believed that Wang Chonggu was this person. It's not that he can't be used, at least he's not a cheap Confucian, but an official.

"Your Majesty, all the 580 criminals in the Confucius Mansion must be beheaded." Wang Chonggu bowed his head and said.

Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu and said with a smile: "Ci Fu has worked hard."

Qi Jiguang once again confirmed that Ma Fang was right. Wang Chonggu really didn't dare. The emperor asked him to kill the whole family of the Confucius family, but he really killed Wang Chonggu.

"Wang Cifu, I heard that the Ministry of Punishment is currently investigating a gambling house. Are you going to arrest people today?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu and said with interest.

Wang Chonggu glanced at Qi Jiguang, and then said: "Your Majesty, this matter is still related to the Beijing Camp. The military laws of the Beijing Camp are strict and gambling is prohibited. Violators will be punished with military sticks in the least serious cases, but there are people watching outside the Beijing Camp." Fuck the families of these soldiers."

Qi Jiguang's expression changed drastically, and he stood up suddenly. He immediately clenched his fists, but didn't say anything. He sat down a little lonely. He had no control over the outside of the military camp. In fact, he had heard about these people before he went on the expedition. But the conquest was imminent, and he didn't care.

He is a military commander, a very capable military commander. Outside of the battlefield, he can't control much.

Wang Chonggu bowed his head again and said: "In early June, the family members of a soldier from the No. 17 Infantry Battalion of Beida Camp went to the Shuntian Mansion Yamen to beat drums and complain about their grievances. I saw the official documents of Shuntian Mansion and started to make bets. It just so happened that Jilong Island There’s a shortage of people to cut the trees.”

"Not only in the military camps, but also around the government factories, there are also people who specialize in this business. The craftsmen and soldiers, because of the favor of the imperial court, have very little savings in their hands. These traitors have set their sights on the craftsmen and soldiers and them. family members."

Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "Select a few leaders and behead them to show the public to intimidate them."

"I obey the order." Wang Chonggu obeyed the order of his leader. This matter was not difficult to handle.

No matter how difficult it is to deal with, how difficult is it to deal with the people who killed the Kong family?

Zhu Yijun is definitely a low-ranking emperor, and he always slaps people's heads. Logically speaking, does betting on this kind of thing really lead to beheading?
The emperor's non-criminal decrees were interfering with the judiciary, but Wang Chonggu failed to fulfill his duties as a minister of punishment, blaming Chen Shan and refuting His Majesty's decree.

Tan Lun and Hai Rui's judgment of Wang Chonggu was correct. Wang Chonggu was indeed a traitor.

What your Majesty told you can be done. The people organizing the gambling games are all desperadoes. They don’t have any blood on their hands. How dare you open a gambling house?Without any blood, how could the money released be recovered?Wang Chonggu could pick out dozens of the leaders of this kind of business, let alone a few and behead them.

It is necessary to carry out His Majesty's imperial orders while also ensuring judicial fairness. As the second assistant and chief minister, I can still grasp the measure.

Your Majesty wants to resolve the main contradiction on the ground in Shandong. Your Majesty wants the Confucius to die. Then Wang Chonggu supervised the execution. The 580 people who were executed in the end all deserved to die. They were all people with human lives on their hands.

"The business of these gambling houses is really hard to guard against." Wang Chonggu began to explain the gambling house's routine, which is to kill pigs.

The traitor approaches the target as a fellow villager and friend, gets along slowly, and becomes a friend. Then he goes out to play, goes to the venue, and sees someone cheating, the traitor will encourage the target to place a bet, no more than ten coins once. The money is not small, and twenty cents is not much. After the beginning, the pig who entered the game will definitely win, and win a lot.

When the pigs start to come in and out of the casino, the traitors will take the pigs to the venue in advance. At this time, there are not enough people, so they need to match the disciples, that is, to gather people. You can bet as much or as little as you like. At this time, the gambling house's The boss would also advise and tell the 'pig' never to gamble, telling some stories about casinos. The Chen family had their hands chopped off, the Liu family had their feet chopped off, the Zhao family sold their ancestral home, and the Wang family became a daughter-in-law.

This is to persuade pigs, but these words are carefully designed. If you lose, you will win. On the other side, the Dong family gets the land, the Ran family gets the house, and the Jin family gets rich overnight. Pigs in the gambling game often ignore the former. With a miserable end, I only saw the latter, who made a lot of money, made more than a dozen taels of silver overnight, and became rich and wealthy.

After marrying the disciples and persuading the pigs, it is still not the point of killing the pigs, but raising the pigs. At this stage, don't kill them yet. The pigs will come to the gambling house on their own, and they will win and lose again and again. This is fattening. , ready to kill.

The specific operation of killing the pig is to go to the banker, which is to let the pig act as the banker. On a certain day, it is specially arranged that the pig will always lose and the banker will always win. Then when the pig goes to the banker, it is the time to kill the pig.

When the pig is being killed, there is a row of people behind the pig. Each of these people is carrying a package, and the package is full of money. These are loan sharks who lend money. It doesn't matter if they lose everything. These pig killers borrow money. I'll bet you.

Under normal circumstances, the pigs can be killed in one night, and the ancestral home, farmland, and daughter-in-law can all be lost.

At this point, the people in the gambling house will let the pigs pull other pigs over, and how much money can be gained by pulling one person over. This is the capital to make a comeback and win everything back. A plan to kill pigs repeatedly is ready.

"Those craftsmen, when it's over 40 degrees outside in the summer, they are in the wool-cooking factory, and it's almost [-] degrees inside. The heat makes them dizzy, and the head is dizzy. They are stirring the wool there and working all day. They were all swollen and peeling off a layer of skin. After working so hard to get three coins, I went to this gambling house and lost it all in less than a quarter of an hour!" Wang Chonggu became more and more excited as he talked, especially when he heard If you want someone to lead someone else, you'll get angry with your eyes. If you squeeze someone dry, you're not done yet, and you'll turn them into an accomplice!
The craftsmen in these workshops, all of whom were working hard to earn some money, were all thrown into a place like this. How could Wang Chonggu not be angry!
Why do cheap Confucians want to castrate Wang Yangming's philosophy of mind and change knowledge and action to align with conscience, instead emphasizing only conscience? Because once you start practicing, you will see the hard work, and once you start practicing, people's ideas will change involuntarily.

Zhang Juzheng said that virtue is gained by practicing it.

Virtue obtained through practice cannot be controlled by people, nor can it be influenced by deep-rooted ideological stamps. Wang Chonggu can see the hard work of the craftsmen. He knows how the craftsmen earn their money through hard work, so he can naturally understand these things. The craftsmen have empathy, and when faced with this kind of ugliness, they can't help but get angry.

To turn a person into a ghost, it only takes about 20 days from approaching the pig to killing the pig. Even some unscrupulous descendants of the powerful and right-wing families have been robbed of a lot of money. The powerful and right-wing families can These gambling shop owners also have to sell their face when they come to ask for money, but how can this poor coolie ask for it?You can only trick others.

"Wan Dazai, Ma Zongbo, what are the provisions of the Ming Law and the Ming Huidian?" Zhu Yijun was very curious about the provisions of the Ming Law on gambling.

"The first offender was trapped and killed, the second offender chopped off his wrists, and the gambler chopped off his fingers." Wan Shihe said with a complicated expression.

Your Majesty beheaded the first criminal, and exiled the second criminal to Ryukyu and cut wood in chicken coops. This was already extremely lenient. Emperor Taizu Gao even set up a gambling house to gather gamblers and fish in in order to move trees and establish trust. After entering the den, they caught them all and buried the leaders alive. A group of lackeys chopped off their wrists and all the gamblers chopped off their fingers.

Taizu was indeed cruel, but at that time, under the permissive rule of Hu Yuan, all kinds of bad habits became commonplace. The cruelty during the Hongwu period, discussing a matter without considering the world situation, was an act of base Confucianism, and the tyranny of Hongwu was mostly in line with the troubled times. Use heavy codes.

At that time, the social contradictions were so intense that they were irreconcilable, and the Yuan Dynasty was unable to reconcile this contradiction. Emperor Taizu Gao, who solved the contradictions, was to pioneer, to solve problems and provide solutions, so as to be above all collectives.

Zhang Juzheng also taught the emperor that overcorrection will lead to overcorrection.

Zhu Yuanzhang's own cruelty, some things are due to helplessness under the world situation, and some things are completely wrong. For example, after Zhu Biao's death, in order to allow Zhu Yunwen to successfully succeed to the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang launched major cases one after another and carried out indiscriminate purges. , Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to maintain the stability of the top-floor building, but Zhu Yunwen himself was not worthy of Emperor Taizu Gao's purge of the court.

The last thing a gambling house should do is to target soldiers and craftsmen, and the person who supervises the government factory is the second assistant Wang Chonggu.

When the emperor asks, these people will definitely pay the price with blood.

Ma Ziqiang hesitated to speak, but still did not say it. In fact, this was a sleeping law, a law that was no longer used in practice. The boss of the gambling house beheaded, the lackeys chopped off the wrists, and the gamblers had their fingers cut off. After Hongwu, there would be no more It has not been executed yet, and it has long been relegated to the column of tyranny and fell into a deep sleep.

This can be regarded as the activation of the ancestral law, and it can also be regarded as the ancestral law, even though it has not been implemented since Hongwu.

His Majesty did not deal with gamblers too harshly, but struck hard at the traitors in gambling houses.

After the Meridian Gate imprisonment, Zhu Yijun brought Qi Jiguang to the Ancestral Temple, which is the place where the Ming Emperor worshiped his ancestors. Zhu Yijun brought Qi Jiguang here, in fact, to tell his ancestors that our Ming army had returned with another great victory.

The Ming Army finally looks like the Ming Army now.

After going through the tedious etiquette, Zhu Yijun took Qi Jiguang back to the side hall of Wenhua Hall. There was a huge map of Kantu. This was a map made by Zhu Zaiyu, the uncle of the Ming Dynasty, using trigonometric mapping and latitude and longitude. At the moment , it is considered an extremely sophisticated map and is a top national secret.

Qi Jiguang held a wooden stick and explained to His Majesty the Emperor all the details of the march and why such decisions were made. Many of the decisions, in hindsight, were indeed correct and extremely simple, but at the time, they lacked When supported by enough intelligence, these judgments are difficult to understand.

This can only be attributed to something as mysterious as military talent. Qi Jiguang can always be ahead of others, respond in advance, and predict the enemy first. This requires long-term experience and extraordinary talent. .

When Qi Jiguang reached this point, his biggest enemy on the battlefield was himself.

Those who rely on the greatness of the country, are proud of the masses of the people, and want to see power over the enemy are called arrogant soldiers, and those who are arrogant soldiers will be destroyed.

"Being Qi Shuai's enemy is indeed a sad thing." After listening to all Qi Jiguang's reports, Zhu Yijun said with a smile on his face. Qi Jiguang may have made some mistakes, but Qi Jiguang never made the mistakes of this arrogant soldier. Won't do it.

Qi Jiguang doesn't like war. He has seen too much cruelty on the battlefield and is well aware of the dangers of military disasters. He will never fight if he can. Every time he fights, he will put himself in a position of defeat. Think about how to reduce losses.

Poverty, cough and love, these are three things that cannot be concealed in the world. Obviously, after Qi Shuai returned to Beijing, the smile on the emperor's face never stopped.

"Qi Shuai, why can't the Central Plains dynasty go south?" Zhu Yijun pointed with some doubts at Burma, Mengyang, Luchuan, Laos, Dagu La and other areas. Here are the three declarations and six comforts established by the Ming Dynasty. Tough military restraint, and now Mang Yinglong's Taungu dynasty posed a threat to the southwest of the Ming Dynasty.

Qi Jiguang thought for a moment and said, "They are not suitable for farming."

"It's reasonable." Zhu Yijun said sincerely.

Qi Jiguang analyzed from two angles why the Central Plains Dynasty did not form a county-based rule in the southwestern region. He took the four expeditions to Luchuan during the Zhengtong period as an example, from the expedition to Luchuan during the Hongwu period to the establishment of Sanxuan and Liuzhou during the Yongle period. During the Zhengtong period, the Ming Dynasty attacked Luchuan four times. The Ming Dynasty always wanted to expand to the southwest. It was not until the Jiajing period that Dao Ye returned troops to Zhennan Pass and planned to invade the Annan Kingdom. .

But in the end, during the Wanli period, it still stopped in Yunnan. Not to mention the internal factors such as the public opinion of Rouyuan people, and the internal conflicts of a large number of chieftains in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou who needed to change their native lands and return to their hometowns. It was only external factors. There were two reasons that hindered the Ming Dynasty's offensive. .The first reason is that it is difficult to fight.

There are many rainforests in the southwest. It is very hot all year round, with very frequent rainfall. The vegetation is too lush and there are many mosquitoes.

Too high a temperature will lead to two consequences. Once the activity is more intense, you will sweat like rain. If you sweat too much, you not only need to replenish water, but also replenish sugar and salt. This brings extremely terrible logistics. pressure.

Zhu Yijun couldn't help but think of his special pear syrup, which was salty and sweet, and the taste was really weird.

Whether it is sugar or salt, they are rare things. The army can easily exceed 10,000 people. No matter how rich the court is, it will still be at a loss. If there are more people inside, it is afraid that half of the Ming Dynasty will be killed in a battle.

Rainfall is frequent and the roads are muddy, especially in the northwest, where there is a lot of red soil. It is like clay when you step on it, making it difficult to move forward. Enemies who are familiar with hydrology and geography will take the opportunity to make sneak attacks. The army's ability to pass is extremely weak, making it even more difficult to conquer.

And if there are more mosquitoes, there will be more malaria. Non-combat attrition such as injuries and illnesses can easily affect morale and put great pressure on logistics. Malaria can kill people. Visible enemies are not scary, but invisible enemies are. That's the thing that hurts morale the most.

The second reason is that we cannot farm.

For the same reason that the Ming Dynasty did not occupy the grassland, the grassland cannot be cultivated because of low rainfall. Then there is always precipitation in the Southwest, so why is it not suitable for farming?
It is not easy to open up wasteland. Reclamation is tiring, and logging is even more tiring. The best way is to burn it all with a big fire. Setting fire is the only way for humans to open up wasteland. It has been like this since ancient times. However, setting fire in the rainforest depends on the timing. The three declarations and six comforts are the For example, there are only 21 days a year that are suitable for setting fires. Although not much can be burned, when it rains, the roots in the ground will grow.

In Sanxuan Liuwei reclamation, all the roots in the ground must be dug out, otherwise the food planted will be covered by local plants in a short time, and the local land will be barren.

The land is barren, in a relative sense. It is all lysate soil, which is soaked in water due to constant rain. The soil is not fertile and is not suitable for farming.

"Your Majesty, when cultivating wasteland in the hinterland, one person can cultivate an acre of land in a few days. Even if it is barren, in a few years, this land can stably produce two stones of grain. But in the southwest, eight people are needed. 20 It takes many days to produce one acre of land, and in a few years, it may only be enough to produce one stone of food.”

"It's probably because there are some tasteless food there, and it's a pity to throw them away, but it's not the case now. There is teak over there." Qi Jiguang said in conclusion.

If you can’t plant the land by beating it down, why beat it?This is a very simple logic, but it is completely different now, because under the open sea, the trees in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, especially the big trees over a hundred years old, have become scarce. The wood needed for shipbuilding depends on this area. At this time , this place has enough value.

Logging, digging roots, clearing wasteland, and farming have become natural.

"That's it." Zhu Yijun couldn't help but nod. Generals who were good at fighting in the Ming Dynasty must be good at farming. Farming and fighting are one.

"Why didn't you see Yu Shuai?" Qi Jiguang asked with some confusion. When His Majesty the Emperor was imprisoned today, all the civil and military officials arrived, but Yu Dayou was not there. This made Qi Jiguang a little strange.

Zhu Yijun exhaled heavily, shook his head and said, "I'm sick."

"I requested an order to visit the doctor." Qi Jiguang's eyes widened and he planned to go to visit the doctor immediately. Yu Dayou is 76 years old this year. At this age, it is really difficult to get up as soon as he lies down.

"Go." Zhu Yijun motioned to Qi Jiguang to go there.

Zhu Yijun did not go to visit the doctor. He always felt that he had committed too many crimes. If he went to visit, it would bring bad luck to Yu Dayou. This was Zhu Yijun's true thought. He went to visit the doctor several times, but the results were not very good for Zhu Xizhong and Zhu Xixiao. Zhu Yijun Waiting for news from the chief medical officer of Jieju Hospital.

At this time, Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong were both in Yu Dayou's house. Yu Dayou did occasionally feel cold. If he was a young man, his nose might run for a long time and he would be fine. However, Yu Dayou is old and his physical fitness has begun to decline. He developed a high fever last night, which was frightening. Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong stayed up all night, watching over them.

"The fever is gone." Chen Shigong breathed a long sigh of relief and showed a relieved smile to Li Shizhen.

Li Shizhen also shook her head tiredly and said, "Well, one foot was already in the gate of hell, but I finally got it back."

In Li Shizhen's medicine box, there was a glass bottle, which contained a clear solution, which was Chen Brine. This product was less effective when taken orally. Instead, it was injected directly into the blood vessels, and the effect was excellent. Li Shizhen did not dare to use a large solution on Yu Dayou. dosage, but injected a little, the effect is excellent.

This time, the emergence of new drugs gave Li Shizhen hope.

"The output of this kind of thing is really too low." Chen Shigong knew the magic of this medicine. The only problem was that the output was limited.

The only problem is the output. The output of this thing is almost the same as none. The yellow luck is that the output is extremely high, but that thing is poison.

"Is that yellow mold really unusable? The yield is huge." Chen Shigong said still unwilling to give up.

Li Shizhen said helplessly: "Human beings are no different from rabbits, mice, and monkeys. Zhang Siwei has verified that yellow mold can indeed kill people."

Yellow mold is poisonous, but the great medical officials still refused to give up and kept experimenting.

The purpose of the great medical officer seems to be to find the strain that produces Penicillium chloride in yellow mold, because the yield of yellow mold is really large.

There are indeed strains of Flavosporum that produce Penicillium chrysantha, but finding them requires a large number of people, whether Japanese pirates or Zhang Siwei and others, they can be found after many attempts.

Because the great medical officers did indeed refine the life-saving penicillium chloride from yellow mold at the very beginning. What exactly it is requires a lot of experiments to find out.

When Qi Jiguang came, he was blocked by the senior medical officers of the hospital. Because the patient was still recovering, it was not suitable to see people now. After Qi Jiguang learned that Yu Dayou's condition had improved, he chose to stay outside. After waiting and looking outside the window, Qi Jiguang chose to leave. Yu Dayou's face did not look like a dying tree.

On the seventh day after Qi Jiguang returned to Beijing, Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty met Yu Dayou again during the court meeting in the Wenhua Palace.

"Yu Shuai, are you all healed?" Zhu Yijun saw that Yu Dayou was in good spirits and asked with a smile.

Yu Dayou bowed his head and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. The decoction from Jieju Hospital is indeed better than that from Taiyuan Hospital."

Everyone knows that there are four unreliable things in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, namely: Hanlin Academy articles, weapons and weapons from the Arsenal; Guanglu Temple tea soup, and imperial hospital prescriptions.

The articles written by the humble Confucians in the Hanlin Academy are stinky and extremely empty, and the swords and guns in the arsenal are rotten and useless. This is due to the lack of military equipment in the Ming Dynasty. Guanglu Temple is a place specializing in cooking. It is very unpalatable. In the palace Each of the masters had their own small dining hall, and the Taiyuan Hospital's prescriptions were due to the fact that there were too many dignitaries in the capital. Once the medicine could cure the illness, the Taiyuan Hospital was tied up and did not dare to use medicine.

Yu Dayou even left a will, and as a result, the chief medical officers of the hospital were rejuvenated.

It’s time to make a joke. Obviously Yu Dayou has really recovered from his illness. Thanks to Zhang Siwei and the Japanese pirates for their contribution to Ming medicine.

The court meeting began. Lu Tiaoyang held a memorial and said with a complex expression: "The Criminal Division reported to Zhao Youtang that he opposed the execution of the traitor in the gambling house."

"Zhao Youtang has received so many benefits. To write such a memorial, he must have received at least a thousand taels of silver." Zhu Yijun opened Zhao Youtang's memorial and drew a red Could Zhu Yijun really be fooled by these few words?

"Your Majesty, Zhao Youtang's words are not credible. He said that Emperor Taizu Gao was violent and unbearable, which was a great harm to the world. This is not true." Wan Shihe raised some objections, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang was violent. That person Everyone agreed, but Wan Shihe had something to say when he said Emperor Taizu Gao was too immeasurable.

"Oh?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wan Shihe. Could it be that the official minister had his own unique opinions on etiquette?

Wan Shihe bowed his head and said, "Han Yike."

"What's wrong with this person?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.

Wan Shihe said tentatively: "This person has repeatedly complained about Chen Shan. Instead of refuting it, Emperor Taizu Gao accepted it."

Is it true that there was only one Hai Rui in the Ming Dynasty who scolded the emperor?actually not.

During the Hongwu period, some officials were trying to get in trouble with Zhu Yuanzhang. In the ninth year of Hongwu, Han Yike said that Emperor Taizu Gao was murderous and would kill people at every turn. Otherwise, he would be whipped and banished to Fengyang. Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry after hearing this, but accepted the opinion.

At that time, Han Yike said: Punishment is to prohibit sexual intercourse, which is a civil rule. It should be based on the severity of the emotion, the public and private matters, and the size of the crime.Now I have ordered you to be banished to the village. This villain is lucky, but the gentleman is in danger.Begging for separation to unite everyone's hearts.

Han Yike pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang's nose and said that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know rewards and punishments, and he banished them all regardless of whether they were public or private, big or small. This is not a coward, what is it?
Zhu Yuanzhang accepted it humbly, saying that Zhu Yuanzhang was incompetent was really underestimating Zhu Yuanzhang.

Han Yike remonstrated more than once. In the early days of the Republic of China, the wives and daughters of officials whose homes were confiscated were to be rewarded to officials in various yamen. Han Yike remonstrated again, which finally led to the establishment of the Jiaofang and the improvement of the system. Zhu Yuanzhang also said that Han Yike's advice was correct and that he was an upright minister.

It can be said that Zhu Yuanzhang was violent. This is a fact recognized by everyone.

Zhu Yijun heard about it and wrote the three words "Han Yike" on the memorial, which was regarded as Zhu's criticism and a formal response.

Lu Tiaoyang took out the second memorial and said, "The reception of the plantation of Wanli Seawall is not going smoothly."

Antonio did give up these plantations, but these plantations belonged to him in name, Antonio, and actually belonged to the local governor. Even Antonio was helpless about this. It was impossible to maintain direct rule so far away.

We need the Ming Dynasty Navy to use force to collect the payment for the twelve five-masted ships that cross the ocean. If it makes sense, then use reason. If it doesn't, then use force.

　Ask for a monthly ticket, woohoo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
