I'm really not doing business

Chapter 369 The Ming Emperor’s kindness is not over at all

The powerful right-wingers of the Ming Dynasty are really wronged. They are indeed very bad, but they are not as ruthless as His Majesty when they give green rice money. The powerful right-wingers really don't know how to do this kind of flowery work. Exhibition period is twenty A year's loan, no matter how low the interest rate, is a huge amount.

The interest rates Zhu Yijun gave to Antonio and Felipe II were exactly the same because their risks were almost the same, but Antonio's interest rate was still slightly lower.

Regardless of the outcome of this war, the final beneficiary will be the Ming Emperor. This is a long war. Regardless of the outcome, with compound interest, the final debt will make Ming richer.

After Marcus left, Zhu Yijun made his way back to the palace. On the way, Zhu Yijun looked out the window in a daze. It was a June day and his baby face changed at every turn. The sun was shining brightly just a moment ago. Even at sunset, the sun was still scorching. The earth was scorching, and the next moment, the wind suddenly picked up and heavy rain came.

The raindrops fell on the ground, and the water slowly gathered on the ground. People were running in the streets and alleys. The rain came at any time. Those who did not hold an umbrella could only be disrupted by this sudden heavy rain. , and became in a hurry.

The power of the Ming Dynasty is almost the same as this June day. The hope of ZTE goes as fast as it comes.

The car drove steadily into the West Chang'an Gate, and then stopped steadily in front of Guanghan Hall in Xiyuan. Zhu Yijun dismounted and got off the horse. Zhang Hong held up an umbrella for His Majesty. Zhu Yijun reached out and took the umbrella. It has been his habit for many years. When Zhang Hong holds an umbrella for the emperor, he himself will get wet in the rain.

This is a small detail. As long as the servants perform their duties faithfully, Zhu Yijun will never be harsh.

With supreme power, it is easy for people to have the illusion that this is how it should be, and that I am different from others. This illusion, over time, will turn into a kind of arrogance, an arrogance that despises all living beings, and a kind of taken for granted. This kind of arrogance will bring extremely bad consequences, that is, contempt and contempt for everything in the world, and eventually become a self-restraining information cocoon and an emperor who is ignorant of the sufferings of the people.

Born in a deep palace, a natural nobleman who is stronger than a woman's hands, this kind of arrogance is innate. For example, Zhu Qizhen, the fortress clan, ignored the advice of civil and military officials and stationed himself in Tumu Fort in order to fight the Wala people. Eventually captured.

Even though they were far away in the capital, Zhu Yijun had heard about Deng Zilong and Luo Li'an, a shameless couple. When the two talked about why Qi Jiguang was invincible, they mentioned that arrogance was a sin, and even Qi Jiguang would be guilty of it once he committed it. If you commit the sin of arrogance, you will lose completely on the battlefield.

An arrogant soldier will be defeated.

Zhang Hong held up his own umbrella and held it for himself. Not to mention that he had never seen the emperor, no matter how old the palace eunuch was, he had never seen him before.

Zhu Yijun raised his hand and looked up. Behind the rain curtain formed by the rain falling on the big umbrella, an anxious figure appeared. Queen Wang Yaozhuo stood in front of the door of Guanghan Palace. It was not until he saw the emperor appearing that all the anxiety in his body disappeared.

"It's raining so heavily. If you wait here and get cold, my mother will blame the chief medical officer of the Tai Hospital." Zhu Yijun walked over and said with a smile on his face.

Empress Dowager Li's logic was still unreasonable. Wang Yaozhuo, who was pregnant, was extremely favored by Empress Dowager Li. If he suddenly contracted a cold, the chief medical officers of the Tai Hospital would inevitably be scolded. Even a single wind-cold could not be looked down upon, so what the hell. Great medical officer.

Wang Yaozhuo was seventeen years old, and her face still had the childish look of a girl. She became pregnant and became particularly anxious. She shook her head and said, "I am just a little worried."

worry about what? She was worried that His Majesty would not be able to come back if he went out.

Wang Yaozhuo's worry is very reasonable, because he knows that His Majesty has done many things and how much he is hated by people, and she knows very well that the hyperactive His Majesty is always a good target for assassination, just like when He Yi Just like the attack on the Duke's Mansion in Yicheng, Xishan, the distance between His Majesty's return from the Beida camp to the palace is a very fixed royal road, so the assassin will have a chance to do it if he thinks about it.

Horses stumble and people stumble.

Coupled with the child in her belly, naturally, Wang Yaozhuo's worries became more and more intense. She was looking forward to having a daughter in her belly instead of a son. In this way, the Ming court officials could only continue to endure a tyrant on the platform. Go on, do whatever you want.

The person who threatened the supreme imperial power was Empress Dowager Li at first, then Zhang Juzheng, and then Prince Lu Zhu Yili. Empress Dowager Li returned to power, Zhang Juzheng and Ding You returned to the court, and Prince Lu simply lived in Prince Lu's Mansion in the Royal Gewu Courtyard. Rili hangs out with beauties from all over the world, and his ridiculous reputation has spread to every corner of the Ming Dynasty.

So if the child to be born is a boy, will it threaten the supreme imperial power?

Kill the tyrant, put the infant child on the throne, let the young King Lu regent, let Wang Chonggu, the leader of the Jin Party, rule the country, and once again take charge of the country. As long as the tyrant dies, the tyrant's right-hand man Wen Zhang Wuqi will either die along with him or give it a go. No matter what the outcome is, it will be much better than the current emperor's words.

Wang Yaozhuo's worries are not unfounded. How much bloodshed has His Majesty experienced along the way? He assassinated the king, killed the king, burned the palace with fire, and attacked and killed in the Western Mountains.

"Husband, the small railway from the Imperial Palace to Beidaying is about to be completed. Why don't we wait until the small railway is repaired before we go to parade the military horses? There has been no war recently." Wang Yaozhuo, as the queen, had a child with Empress Dowager Li. It is an iron law in the palace to learn the rules around you and not to interfere in politics in the harem. Wang Yaozhuo has no intention of interfering in the government affairs. He just hopes that his husband can come back in perfect condition like today.

This is the greed of a little woman, not the slander that a queen of the world should make.

The small railway from the Imperial Palace to the Imperial Palace has been completed, and the small railway from the Royal Palace to Beidaying is expected to be ready for use in September.

According to Tishuai Zhao Mengyou's judgment, after the small railway is completed, the warning distance for His Majesty's daily travel will be increased from twenty steps to sixty steps, and sixty steps is the effective killing distance of the flat musket, that is, the small railway is repaired. After the passage, even the flat guns cannot hurt His Majesty. The new jade chariot has a full set of steel plate armor.

"People are all the same. It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. As long as I rest, I want to rest forever. My husband has been an ancestor in Yicheng County for a while, and he doesn't want to return to the court. The reason I'm just lazy. I feel relieved. The conflict in the Ming Dynasty has not reached that level yet. No one will take the risk of the nine tribes to assassinate me at this time." Zhu Yijun smiled and comforted Wang Yaozhuo. When you are pregnant, you are prone to worry about gains and losses, and after childbirth, you are easy to worry about. Anxiety is commonplace.

The risk of assassinating the emperor is huge, and Zhang Siwei has proved this with tens of thousands of pieces of his own body made of rosin.

The Ming Emperor kept his word, and when he said he would cut people into pieces with a thousand knives, he would actually cut them into slices.

If the assassination of the emperor succeeds, there may not be any profit, but if it fails, the nine clans will definitely be implicated. Under such high risks, the person being instigated can easily betray the person behind the scenes in exchange for higher and more stable benefits.

Zhu Yijun's conflict theory has long been completed. Now it is the Ming Emperor who is leading the Sheshe households to develop the sea and lead everyone to make a fortune. In the capital, even if Tuman Khan and Ada Khan fought, they could not attract People's attention is focused on Yanxing Tower, hoping to raise more shares of ship tickets next month.

Just because it doesn't happen now doesn't mean it won't happen in the future.

Wang Yaozhuo was pregnant and had difficulty sleeping with him. These days, his two concubines Liu Mengshu and Li Jin were serving his majesty. However, the rare opportunity to attend his bed made the two concubines very satisfied.

What the two concubines didn't know was that sometimes Zhu Yijun was a little unable to deal with Wang Yaozhuo alone.

In this matter, Zhu Yijun and Wang Yaozhuo can only say that when they meet their opponents in chess, they will meet good talents.

On June 28, the seventh year of Wanli, the Ming Emperor met with the special envoys Legas, Diego and Marcus. Legas finally gritted his teeth and agreed to the emperor's high interest rate, borrowing a loan with an annual interest of % for a total of one hundred The war loan of silver was used to borrow five five-masted transoceanic ships.

Marcus, on the other hand, directly borrowed twelve five-masted ocean ships, with a loan amount of 24 million silver and an annual interest of %.

In order to allow the seventeen five-masted ships to sail smoothly, the Tessie envoy once again hired a large number of Ming Dynasty boatmen, sailors and soldiers. Thanks to Antonio's identity as a traitor, Antonio trained dozens of people for the Ming Dynasty who could pull the boats. The navy masters of the Ming Dynasty have traveled across the ocean, and this large-scale recruitment has allowed the Ming Dynasty's navy masters to accumulate more ocean-going experience.

Ocean's practical experience comes at an extremely high price.

This group of navigators, sailors and soldiers will sign a five-year gambling contract with the Songjiang Prefecture Shipping Department. If they can return to the Ming Dynasty safely, each of them will receive more than a thousand silver. The reward, if they cannot return to the Ming Dynasty safely, is only five hundred silver for each person, and this reward will be given to their wives and children, and the amount that will be cashed out after five years will be fully guaranteed by internal funds.

The payment unit of this gambling contract was Songjiang Ocean Trading Company, and all the expenses were paid by the Songjiang Sun family. It was the Songjiang Sun family who was doing a lot of money in the boating business. Their family was trying every means to send money to the court, and they were making real money. It's too much, and I have trouble sleeping and eating.

If you come back, you will get one thousand silver, but if you don't come back, you will only get 500 silver. This may seem a bit unreasonable, but in fact, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty hopes that they can all return safely.

The price given by Zhu Yijun was already extremely kind.

How much is a human life worth in Ming Dynasty?

Parents who are living in embarrassment will send their children to shantangs. Even if they know that these shantangs are businesses, if their children suffer from any of the three calamities, they will be thrown into the abandoned baby tower to fend for themselves;

During times of famine, two ounces of steamed buns can be exchanged for a child, and five steamed buns can be exchanged for a wife, or even less;

In times of non-famine, human life also has a price. You can buy a little maid for four taels of silver. If you want a housekeeper who knows how to make an abacus, it will be seven taels of silver. If you want a strong man who looks after the home and care for the courtyard, it will be ten taels of silver. If you want a chess, calligraphy and painting instrument, The beautiful girl who is proficient in everything is worth twenty taels of silver.

Even those Yangzhou thin horses who can be courtesans only have one hundred taels.

If a Xishan kiln worker dies in the well, and if the mine owner is kind-hearted, his life is worth seven taels of silver. If the mine owner is greedy and stingy, giving him two taels of silver is already a great mercy.

This is the price of human life in the Ming Dynasty. These days, human life is really worthless.

And the bottom line price offered by His Majesty to these ocean-going boatmen, sailors and soldiers is five hundred silver. If they can come back safely, it will be doubled. If they can come back alive, they will be transformed from poor people to middle-class coolies. A good family can support a child to study full time.

The Ming Emperor's kindness was far from complete.

When Legas left the Wenhua Palace, he kept mumbling. He was complaining that the Ming Emperor engaged in price discrimination.

Antonio borrowed more, at lower interest, and the price of a five-masted transatlantic ship was two hundred thousand silver.

Felipe II's loan was lower, but the interest was higher. The unit price of a ship was 250,000 silver after the increase.

Is this still justified? Is there any royal law?

Legaz could only complain a few words. Antonio and Marcus kept saying this and that, respectfully, for fear of losing their etiquette; they also brought various crops to the Ming Dynasty, including sweet potatoes, potatoes, palms, rubber, sugar cane, and long crops. Cotton, etc.; and the plantations that gave up thousands of miles of seawalls. The fifty-four plantations are fifty-four ports, fifty-four development bases, and fifty-four colonial development lands; and they asked the emperor Canonization.

Your Majesty's differential treatment is very reasonable, because no matter how you look at it, Antonio is one of your Majesty's own. The exhibition is indeed a knife that kills without blood, but from Antonio's perspective, isn't this a kind of holy favor? Everyone in the West regards him as a pirate, but only with His Majesty, Antonio is a strong contender for the throne of Portugal.

Diego, this idiot, was not even willing to kowtow when he arrived in the Ming Dynasty.

Do you blame His Majesty for treating him differently? That idiot Diego dares to complain about the Emperor of Ming Dynasty on the land of Ming Dynasty!

Diego stayed in the Ming Dynasty. He wanted to study at the Ming Dynasty Military Academy. This was a task given to Diego by Felipe II. He said he was to learn Eastern military theory. As for how long he would study for and when he would go back, Felipe II He didn’t say anything, and Diego’s father, the Marquis of War, didn’t ask. In Zhu Yijun's view, this is the tacit understanding between Felipe II and his Marquis of War, and Diego is the proton, but it is not appropriate for this proton to be arranged in Taixi.

The latest round of diplomatic activities in the Ming Dynasty finally came to an end after Marcus left alone, and an announcement that made the powerful and powerful officials in the capital beat their chests and feet came out. For the remaining six months of Wanli's seventh year, no more money was taken. Five-masted ocean ship.

One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and two fingers produced all kinds of sounds.

Soon, criticism of the Ming Emperor appeared. Although this kind of criticism was not as direct as Hai Rui carrying the coffin and admonishing him, it was unavoidable and there was a lot of weirdness and criticism. The content of the criticism in the newspapers was in the final analysis: The Ming Emperor took the ship Sold to Taixi, sold to the Mughal Kingdom, and refused to give it to the Ming Dynasty. They would rather give it to foreigners than domestic slaves!

"I have changed from a sage who obeyed the law but not wisdom, followed numbers but not eloquence, followed public affairs but not private interests, followed the great road but not petty things, and ruled the world when his body was lost. I have turned into a sage who just wanted to be a traitor and betrayer. Is Shi Jingtang the best in the world? Are all Ming scholars so abstract? Your evaluation of me has changed too quickly!" Zhu Yijun finished reading the miscellaneous newspaper in his hand, threw it out, and pounded the table angrily. , said angrily.

Zhu Yijun walked around, and the more he read the personal newspapers, the more he disliked them. He picked up the newspapers again, tore them into pieces, stepped on them, and then said angrily: "I'm so angry! Comparing it to Forget it, others compare me to Shi Jingtang, which offends me! They might as well say that I am King Zhou of Shang!"

Shi Jingtang was a serious proclaimed emperor, but he was not as highly regarded as the emperor as Liu Jin, the eunuch, was. At least Liu Jin only had mixed reviews, while Shi Jingtang simply received a flood of negative reviews.

Zhu Yijun could not deal with the scholar's dirty heart and mouth. Once he dealt with it, he would be convinced that he would rather stay with foreigners than domestic slaves. This was a yin and yang. When the emperor got angry, he admitted it but did not deal with it. Zhu Yijun decided in his heart uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, Wan Dazai is waiting outside the palace." Feng Bao felt worried, fearing that the fire at the city gate would affect him, a fish in the pond, so he reported to His Majesty cautiously.

"Xuan!"

As soon as Wan Shihe entered the imperial study room in Xiyuan, he saw shredded paper all over the floor, and no one dared to clean it. It was obvious that His Majesty was still angry, which shocked Wan Shihe. His Majesty had never cared about his reputation. But this time, His Majesty was scolded as Shi Jingtang, and His Majesty obviously couldn't accept it.

"See Your Majesty, are you okay with Your Majesty's holy bow?" Wan Shihe bowed his head to see him. In fact, he regretted it as soon as he entered the palace. He asked Your Majesty to calm down and it would be safer for him to talk about the matter later.

Zhu Yijun took a deep breath and said, "Aiqing, sit down and talk. I'm not doing well at all. I'm so angry that I'm dying."

"If I don't sell the ship to Akbar, why should Akbar help us involve the Governor's Palace of Diu and the Governor's Palace of Goa? The Ming Dynasty wants to seize the Strait of Malacca, which has been China's long-term policy for hundreds of years! It's a strategy! These people are extravagant Households, after all, they are a bunch of short-sighted things! If they can see further than a mouse, they will know my good intentions, they are a bunch of short-sighted things!"

"What your Majesty said is that they are just a bunch of short-sighted people. Why should your Majesty be angry with them? They have always been like this." Wan Shihe quickly agreed. His Majesty was angry and needed to be calmed down.

Zhu Yijun spread his hands and continued: "I sold the ship to Taixi just to make Felipe II miserable. The more anxious he is, the more profits Ming Dynasty will get. Is the Taixi ship coming to Ming Dynasty for charity? He pulls away so much silk every year and earns an unknown amount of money. If we don’t take advantage of his troubled time to get some of his earnings back, how can we have such an opportunity?!”

"When there is a fight between the West and the barbarians, I can only watch the fire from the other side and benefit from it! This group of extravagant households cannot understand this at all. No, they can understand it, but they live so alone and selfishly. They can only see their own interests and nothing else! A bunch of bastards who love money as much as their lives, are only interested in profit, and are obsessed with profit!"

"Yes, yes, your majesty said that, they are indeed like this." Wan Shihe wiped the sweat from his forehead again. His majesty was really angry this time. After all, an emperor like Shi Jingtang did scold a little too much.

Zhu Yijun continued to scold him for half an hour before he stopped and his anger subsided a little.

"I came to the palace this time just to resolve this matter. Your Majesty, Liezi said: "The sniper Gong Fu Zhi said: "The morning is three and the twilight is four. All the snipers are angry. He said: But the morning is four and the twilight is three. All the snipers are all angry." Delighted." Wan Shihe first quoted the classics, which is the origin of the allusion of Chao San Mu Si.

A man who raised macaques in the Song Dynasty said that he would give three acorns in the morning and four in the evening. The monkeys were not happy, but he said he would give four acorns in the morning and three in the evening, and the monkeys were happy.

Wan Shihe's meaning is very obvious. As a human king, your Majesty is the one who raises monkeys. How to quell this anger, you have to learn the art of sniping and controlling monkeys. This is a skill, not a Tao. Zhang Juzheng always hopes that His Majesty will be the master of the Tao. Okay, what he teaches is also the Dao. Wan Shihe doesn't have such a big pattern. As a flatterer, it's not appropriate for him to teach the Dao. What he teaches is all skills.

"Oh? How to do it specifically?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.

"If we publish an announcement tomorrow and say that there are only thirty three-masted plywood ships, these Sheshe households will be even more dissatisfied, but they have no choice but to tell them in a few days that there are fifty three-masted plywood ships. They will I'm just grateful." Wan Shihe held his beard and said cheerfully: "I'm still not happy, so I just won't accept the money this year. Naturally, they are scratching their heads."

"Well, okay, okay!" Zhu Yijun smiled. Wan Shihe, a scholar, is full of bad ideas. Wan Shihe can use idioms like this to advise the king not to be capricious. Wan Shihe can only say that Wan Shihe There is no water in the name of this flattering minister, and there is no injustice at all.

"Your Majesty, there is actually another way. The production capacity of Daming Shipyard is steadily increasing. It is better to pledge the increased production capacity next year. In this way, the grievances of the luxury households will naturally disappear." Wan Shi He said with dark eyes: "This is to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and eat what you eat."

"Well, okay, okay!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Yijun nodded repeatedly, thought for a moment, and then shook his head and said, "It's enough to live day and night. Yin eats maoliang. Ming Dynasty is a little afraid of Yin eating maoliang."

Since Xiaozong, the Ming Dynasty demolished the east wall to repair the west wall all the year round, and the court could only make three months of annual expenditures. Xiaozong was generous back then. With a wave of his hand, he cut down the number of acres of land payable by the Ming Dynasty from seven million hectares to four million hectares. Xiaozong gained a good reputation, and all the Zheshe households were singing about Xiaozong's sage, but it caused trouble to Wuzong, Shizong and Mu Zong. It was not until Zhang Juzheng was abdicated that this public case was settled.

The Ming Dynasty has its own national conditions. The reason why Zhu Yijun did not issue more futures ship tickets is because of this. Once the Yin Chi Mao grain comes out, there is no need to buy and sell ship tickets. It is easy to cause panic. Fear is still polite. The Ming Dynasty dismantled The east wall to make up for the west wall is stress.

"Your Majesty is wise." Wan Shihe bowed his head again and said. His Majesty's credibility is particularly strong. Even in this situation, His Majesty still did not break his original promise, not to overpay, not to withhold, and to distribute dividends as scheduled.

"Your Majesty, I am a little confused. What should we do if Felipe II and Antonio directly refuse to repay the loan?" Wan Shihe was still a little concerned about this war loan of 4.5 million, which was delivered on a five-masted transoceanic ship. Worry, this bad debt is 4.5 million silver, which is 200,000 silver more than the Taicang silver in the 32nd year of Jiajing.

"At that time, I will package the debt and sell it to Elizabeth I of England. Elizabeth I will take these two debts and scold Felipe II until his heart stops." Zhu Yijun said very nonchalantly.

Packing it up and selling it to the English was Zhu Yijun's idea of ​​recovering the losses.

Felipe II has been seeking marriage with Elizabeth I, intending to resolve the conflict between Spain and England through marriage. Marriage to open borders is a common thing in Europe and the West.

Elizabeth I was also very straightforward. She directly made a vow not to marry and to devote her life to the Lord, which made Felipe II's plan go bankrupt.

It’s okay if you can’t marry her, but the person you want to marry is the Queen of England, holding an IOU and angrily scolding Felipe II for not paying back his debts. It’s very interesting to think about it.

The cost of a five-masted ocean crossing ship is actually only 50,000 silver, and the profit is as high as 150,000 silver. The seventeen five-masted ocean crossing ships released this time only cost 850,000 silver. They can be packed up by then. , regardless of the tie-in sale, you just can’t lose money after all.

Wan Shihe's eyes lit up, he stood up and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty is wise, I have nothing else to do, so I will leave."

"Wan Dazai, wait a moment." Zhu Yijun asked doubtfully, "Where are these miscellaneous reports?"

"I will handle it appropriately and give your Majesty an explanation." Wan Shihe bowed his head again and said.

It is difficult for His Majesty to take action in this matter, but Wan Shihe, as a master of cleaning the floor, naturally cannot let His Majesty's face fall to the ground. He will naturally clean up the matter, and how to clean it up. Because the method is relatively dirty, Wan Shihe is not embarrassed to tell the emperor.

But after he did it, His Majesty naturally saw it.

Wan Shihe went to wash the floor. His method of washing the floor was simple and crude, direct and effective, dividing and breaking them down, and defeating them one by one.

When the Yanxinglou Trading House listed that there would only be thirty three-masted plywood ships for the next month, Wan Shi and his penmen immediately went all out and blamed the wretched scholars. , Their strange antics offended His Majesty, and His Majesty refused to take everyone to make a fortune together.

Wan Shihe also brought up the old practice of Emperor Chengzuwen eating alone. Emperor Chengzuwen's eating alone was really outrageous to both humans and gods. At that time, the imperial court built ships, organized production, and all profits from maritime trade went into internal funds. The imperial court Not a single profit can be made.

In the twenty-second year of Yongle's inventory, there were still 1.2 million taels of gold and 12 million taels of silver. This was the balance after six voyages to the West, five expeditions to the grasslands, the construction of the Yongle Grand Ceremony, and the relocation of the capital.

Wan Shihe warned those Zheshe households that if they continued to offend His Majesty, such a large ancestral law would really make His Majesty angry. His Majesty directly followed the method of the previous king and increased the scale of official ships and official trade to the Yongle period. Those Zheshe households might not even have a chance to drink soup.

I blame you and call it respectful, Chen Shan shuts up evil and calls it respect, but I cannot call you a thief.

Emperor Chengzu's warning was very effective.

This is differentiation, using interests to divide these luxury households into different groups, and then they attack them in groups, scolding these pens who dare to be arrogant to His Majesty, scolding them to the ground.

At this point, it’s not over yet.

This controversy came to an end after His Majesty once again announced that fifty three-masted plywood ships would be deployed next month. Wan Shihe reached an agreement with some Zheshe households. These Zheshe households made it very clear that they I don’t dare to scold His Majesty at all, it’s all the penmasters who did it themselves!

Wan Shihezhen carefully checked the accounts with these Zheshe households, and it was really the Bi Zhengs themselves who compared His Majesty to Shi Jingtang.

The Ming Dynasty has a set of unreasonable ways of playing. It is the righteousness of non-punishment, which is the king's law in addition to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. An emperor like His Majesty, who firmly holds the military power, can directly use the righteousness of non-punishment to let Tiqi He was charged with treason and his house was ransacked.

The most the Zheshe households could do was complain privately. Who would mess with the emperor after they had enough to eat and nothing to do? Don't want to die? If you don’t want your own life, don’t you want the lives of the nine clans too? At that time, the ancestral hall will be filled with stone tablets carved by His Majesty, and even the ancestors will not be able to withstand them.

The humble Confucians dare to do so. Only when they are famous can they be valuable. The imperial staff of the Ming Dynasty can be turned into a tool for gaining fame and wealth by them. In order to gain fame and fame for a while, what else can the humble Confucians not dare to do? It's just scolding the emperor. Since the Hongwu period, Ming Dynasty has been scolding the emperor one after another without interruption.

The pen editors were not completely controlled by the powerful right-wingers. After this incident, the Zheshe households all tacitly lowered their support for the poetry society.

Under this tacit understanding, these lowly Confucians were sent to the Xishan Coal Bureau. Wang Chonggu thoughtfully arranged for these lowly Confucians who were overfed and had nothing to do, and arranged a five-year period of not-so-dangerous but very tiring work—— Lift coal.

When coal comes out of the coal kiln, it is not the end, but the beginning. Coal needs to be selected, washed, and some of the better quality coal needs to be burned. This requires carrying the coal around. This work is very hard, and these workers Writers who have no strength to tie the chicken can enjoy five years of blessings.

All this is done in a dignified and secure manner without being too obvious.

Wan Shihe once again demonstrated his professionalism in the matter of floor washing.

　In the first year of Chenghua, Lin Xiu, the internal money eunuch, settled the accounts for Emperor Xianzong who had just ascended the throne, and told him about the 720,000 taels of gold and 12 million taels of silver that had been retained in the 22nd year of Yongle. Emperor Xianzong, that "Qi Ren Jing" was also written by Lin Xiu, but it only had one name and the content was lost, which is a pity. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! !
