I'm a big dick

Chapter 208 Face-to-face instruction, tenderness with a bowed head

There is no denying the importance of the Hetao area to the Ming Dynasty, but the rulers of the Ming Dynasty had a blind spot here and handed over the extremely important Hetao area.

This caused a gap in the entire northern defense system between Datong and Ningxia, which brought continuous harassment and losses to the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, even if Dongshengwei is restored, the material transportation and consumption of the garrison defense will be a huge difficulty.This should be the main reason for abandoning the Hetao back then.

But Zhu Tongmeng will not say now, nor will he ask.The horoscope has not been written yet, it is really inappropriate to think about this now.

"I've said enough." Zhu Youxiao smiled, took a sip of tea, and continued: "The last thing to add is the tea-horse market in Xuanfu. The rules need to be changed, step by step, don't rush ..."

Xuanfu, that is, Zhangjiakou, has gradually formed a border trade market of "tea and horse mutual market" in the Yuanbaoshan area outside Dajingmen since the fifth year of Longqing.

Livestock, fur, medicinal materials, woolen goods, and silverware from the Mongolian grasslands, as well as silk, tea, porcelain, and sugar brought in by merchants from the mainland, were traded here and promoted the prosperity of Zhangjiakou.

For Zhu Youxiao, the mutual market trade is not only a means to win over and appease the Mongolian tribes, but also a profitable business.

Although he has a big conspiracy for the eight traitorous locust merchants to put a long-term perspective, it does not mean that they should continue to make money from border trade.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Youxiao wants to use his "imperial merchants" to monopolize border trade.The eight major locust merchants can only feed the dogs with the leftovers.

It is similar to "planting the flag with the book", but according to Zhu Youxiao's definition, he prefers to call this method "import and export license".

"The implementation of the licensing system should have little impact on the current border trade, and it can increase the revenue of the imperial court. It's just that the merchants are different."

With a meaningful smile, Zhu Youxiao looked at his palm prints, and said slowly: "It won't be too late to implement counting sales after Zhu Qing has trained well. Now, let's find out the situation of the Mongolian tribes first. Get ready!"

"Long live foresight and foresight, I admire you very much." Zhu Tongmeng was really convinced. This interlocking plan, including military, politics, and business, is afraid that it will not be able to subdue the Xilu?
Zhu Youxiao suppressed his hands with a smile, handed the two documents to the palace servants and forwarded them to Zhu Tongmeng, and said: "This is the general strategy and policy, and there is also a list of capable officers and generals selected by me. Zhu Qing can rest for a few days , and then call them to discuss matters. As for whether it will be suitable for use in the future, Zhu Qing can decide on his own."

Zhu Tongmeng took the documents and put them away, and another palace attendant delivered the secret music box. Seeing that the emperor had no more instructions, he bowed and left knowingly.

The imperial study room became quiet again, Zhu Youxiao tapped the armrest of the chair lightly, lowered his eyes slightly, thoughtful.

Sun Chuanting, Zhu Tongmeng, Wu Yongxian, Lu Xiangsheng, plus Yang Zhaoji, Chief Soldier of Ji Town, You Shiwei, Chief Soldier of Xuanfu Town, Sun Zushou, Chief Soldier of Datong, Ma Shilong, Chief Soldier of Ningxia, He Huchen, Chief Soldier of Yansui Town, the northern frontier guards Online can be described as a gathering of famous ministers and brave generals.

That's right, Lu Xiangsheng will assist Zhu Tongmeng to go to Xuanda to reorganize the army and military affairs as the right political participant and deputy envoy.

However, He Huchen, the former commander-in-chief of Dengzhen Town, was transferred to Yansui Town, not because he was not loyal enough, but because he was not good at naval warfare.Northwest is his hometown, where he can give full play to his strengths.

The successor of Dengzhen's general is Zhang Keda, the new general who is stationed in Zhazhoushan and has many records of killing Japanese and thieves.Zhang Keda is not only capable of fighting, but also erudite and talented. He also has achievements in politics, and he is quite like a Confucian general.

With so many capable officers and generals, after half a year, the military towns should be strong and strong, and they can have a good chat with the Mongolian tribes, right?
Zhu Youxiao calculated the time and felt that the important towns on the Nine Sides had finally been properly arranged.As long as the food and salary are sufficient, you don't have to do everything by yourself in the future, and you don't have to worry too much.

How did Zhuge Liang die? He was exhausted!
A qualified and wise leader should not be careless, take care of everything by himself.

We must know how to "grasp the big and let go of the small", know how to employ people, concentrate time and energy to solve the main contradiction, and then we can firmly grasp the initiative in work.

Xunzi has a saying: If the master is good, everything will be detailed, but if the master is detailed, everything will be lacking.

Zhu Youxiao thinks that selecting talents and appointing talents is the key to being a king. If all your courtiers are mediocre, you will be useless even if you are exhausted.

Just like Chongzhen, alas, this is really a typical person who can think of him in everything.

Zhu Youxiao smiled smugly and looked at the time.Although it was a little early, but there was nothing to do, so he got up and walked out, driving to the Eastern Palace Wang Liangfei.

Concubine Wang Liang of the East Palace and Concubine Duan Chun of the West Palace were hand-picked and canonized by the emperor together with the empress Zhang Yan, and they were considered the oldest.

But let a court lady who waits on the cat take the first prize, she doesn't say anything, but she doesn't care about anyone in her heart.

Empress Zhang Yan wants to show the generosity of a mother, while Concubine Duan Chun has a gentle temperament, neither of them showed it too clearly.

In comparison, Concubine Wang Liang seemed impatient and irritable, which was also due to her personality.

Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry, and he also shared some common sense with Zhang Yan, Wang Liangfei, and Duan Chunfei, so that they could be more active and exercise, so that they would have more opportunities when they were healthy and mature.

Not just talking about it, Zhu Youxiao also designed several simple sports equipment, which were built by craftsmen and installed in various palaces.

Zhang Yan and Concubine Chun are still a little reserved, and they are too embarrassed to exercise on the equipment.The most obedient and positive one is Concubine Wang Liang.

This day was another day of exercising and sweating profusely, Concubine Wang Liang rushed to take a bath.She counted the time, and when the emperor arrived, she would be able to dress up beautifully and wash fragrantly to welcome the emperor.

The warm fragrant soup wrapped her body, and in the bathtub, Concubine Wang Liang closed her eyes slightly in comfort.

It wasn't until the voice of "Long live is here" came from outside that she suddenly opened her eyes wide and hurriedly called the maids to get bath towels and clothes, only to see that the emperor had already walked in.

No one dared to stop the emperor, and the bather inside was not someone else, but his concubine.

"Concubine—" Concubine Wang Liang shrank into the bathtub with embarrassment, and said, "I'm rude, I failed to greet you, please don't blame me for long live."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Concubine Wang Liang, who covered her breasts and covered her breasts, revealing her white jade-like skin, and who was infinitely shy, felt pity and love in her heart.

"The most is the gentleness of bowing the head, just like the shyness of the water lotus that cannot withstand the cool breeze. Say a word of beauty, and praise her beauty, there is sweet sadness in that beauty—"

Concubine Wang Liang raised her eyes, reminiscing about the emperor's chanting just now, she didn't know what it was, but it sounded as comfortable and comfortable as breathing the fragrant fragrance of flowers.

Seeing his woman's eyes become blurred, warm, soft, and charming, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, waved away the maid, and walked over...

The bathtub is a little small, so I need to get a bigger one!

Nanjing, the residence of Zhan Shizhou Yanru, director of the Academy.

"Using the Dongchang fanzi, just kill him like this? This, this, a fool!" Zhou Yanru threw down the letter, the white-haired man trembled, and scolded.

Wu Changshi in the seat took the letter, his face changed greatly after reading it, his lips trembling and he muttered: "How could it be so, how could it be so?"

Why are the two angry and afraid, because He Wangsheng, Lu Xianming, Li Fengshen and others who went to the capital to set up the newspaper school have been arrested by Dongchang, and they were charged with the crime of lying and confusing, and they were beheaded in the capital.

These few people are all well-known scholars, and they were called "famous scholars in the county" at that time.But the imperial court chopped it down just like that, and it was shockingly clean.

Not only these few people, but also Yu Shi Liang Menghuan was implicated.As a contact person in the capital, Liang Menghuan has been confiscated and questioned, and it is estimated that he will be exiled at the lightest.

Speaking of which, these "famous scholars in the county" did not intend to go to the capital by themselves.Instead, it depends on money and the invitation of the eunuchs and gentry.

Of course, the origins of these celebrities also determined that they would not approve of Zhu Youxiao's reform.From this point of view, they also wanted to fight against the emperor or the court from the bottom of their hearts.

The imperial court has not banned the opening of newspapers and academies, or not for the time being.

Therefore, after feeling that the court, or the emperor, was full of malice towards the gentry and landlords, these guys wanted to compete in public opinion.

In their plan, the newspaper should be run first, and the articles should not be too sharp, so as not to arouse the emperor's vigilance.

The censor Liang Menghuan, who presided over the matter in the capital, instructed them to get close to Zhang Guoji, the head of the country, and used compliments and money to draw Zhang Guoji to run a newspaper together.

This trick was very damaging, first he used Zhang Guoji as a wall to keep out the wind.When the newspaper has an influence and argues with the court, the world will see the scene of the father-in-law opposing the emperor's son-in-law again.

It's a bit ironic, and it's also a bit funny. Even his own family members don't approve of it. The emperor is really a loner!

But this is where things went wrong. No one thought that Zhang Guoji had learned a lesson, so he told Zhang Yan about it in advance for fear of getting involved with his daughter who is already the mother of a country.

Moreover, no one expected that the emperor would be so ruthless, and immediately dispatched the Dongchang Fanzi to take down all these people and kill them all.

As for newspapers, before the first issue is published, people are gone.

Zhou Yanru scolded and sighed again, and when his eyes turned to Wu Changshi, he couldn't help frowning.

Wu Changshi's face was already pale, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the hand that stretched out to hold the teacup was trembling slightly.

Scared, this guy is scared.

Zhou Yanru suddenly also felt a chill on his body, and his hairs stood on end.

The emperor is so ruthless, will he follow the vine and track him down?Perhaps Wu Changshi also thought of this, so he was so frightened, right?

Moreover, just now I scolded the faint king.

Zhou Yanru blinked his eyes, his feet were a little weak, he hurriedly sat down in the chair, pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Come here, don't be alarmed. Thinking carefully about the court's conviction, it is extremely perfunctory, and even has the suspicion of killing in vain. I know there will be no major incidents.”

Wu Changshi rolled his eyes, looked at Zhou Yanru, tried to calm down and think, and felt that what Zhou Yanru said was reasonable.Although I can't be completely relieved, I got some comfort.
