Chapter 742 Sending Japanese pirates to Siberia to plant potatoes
Zhu Yijun holds a court meeting on the third day of every month. This is the busiest day for all officials in the Ming Dynasty.
Everyone in the capital must participate. They have to get up before dawn every day. However, the main purpose of the court meeting is to announce the decisions of the emperor and the cabinet. It has nothing to do with most officials. Standing The hundreds of officials outside the emperor's palace could not even see the emperor's face, they just stood under His Majesty Dan. Even so, being able to stand here was already a matter of honor for the ancestors.
On June 3rd of the 14th year of Wanli, there was a rare quarrel in the Huangji Palace. After hearing this, all the officials were quite surprised. The quarrel in the court must be due to the huge influence of the cabinet. However, as the emperor personally announced that Zhang Juzheng obeyed the emperor's decree, the matter was over.
The root of the disagreement was that Zhang Juzheng wanted to get things done while he was alive and not leave any hidden dangers to the emperor. It would be very troublesome for Li Huo to stay in Yizhou. He would have to use his posthumous name in exchange for North Korea. The royal family should die, but Wang Chonggu felt that His Majesty was quite wise. Even if the Joseon royal family made any trouble, the Ming Dynasty could suppress it.
Wang Chonggu trusted His Majesty the Emperor more than Zhang Juzheng, because Zhang Juzheng was closer to the emperor.
In Zhang Juzheng's eyes, His Majesty has always been a grown-up child. When a young man is full of energy and hard work, His Majesty can properly handle government affairs. However, Zhang Juzheng is willing to bear more responsibility for some infamy.
But in Wang Chonggu’s opinion, children? You, Zhang Juzheng, are the only one who treats His Majesty as a child.
In the eyes of treacherous officials like Wang Chonggu, His Majesty is more terrifying than Zhang Juzheng. Sometimes Zhang Juzheng is reasonable and makes some concessions for the sake of the dignity of the country and the country, but His Majesty will not address the core issues. , even if there is a little concession.
"Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, Li Zhi, the supervisory censor, asked the imperial court to dismiss Wanguo City and allow envoys and sailors from foreign countries to move around in the Ming Dynasty." Wan Shihe went out and bowed his head and said: "I reply to the censor's advice. I think it’s not possible, the reason is very simple, they are barbarians with wolf faces and beast hearts.”
The supervisory censor made a suggestion and the six ministers would respond if needed. However, Uncle Da Zong was in charge of Honglu Temple and he felt that Li Zhi was talking nonsense.
Wan Shihe's meaning is very clear. He must not let the barbarians into the Ming Dynasty unless they are castrated. The barbarians have wolf faces and beast hearts. Such words have been said since three generations above, that is, Xia, Shang and Zhou. Nearly three thousand years ago.
This is not because our ancestors looked down on the barbarians, but history has continuously proven the value and correctness of this sentence.
"We are all desperadoes. Why did we come to the Ming Dynasty? There is a minister in the Ministry of Rites, Ligas, who has been in the Ming Dynasty for fourteen years. There is a purpose, either to preach, to eavesdrop on the hydrology of the Ming Dynasty, or to go boating and do business for profit, Wanguo City That's enough." Zhu Yijun looked at the censors and said, "This matter has been decided and there is no need to mention it again in the future."
Li Yashi himself is a red-haired fan, and he knows the red-haired man very well. The purpose of coming to Ming Dynasty was to preach and secretly learn about hydrology and geography, but he had no choice but to do business honestly.
Legas believed that the Ming Dynasty's summary of the barbarians was correct. Wherever one can be unreasonable, one must be unreasonable. To be honest, they were forced to pay taxes and do business honestly. This was because the Ming Emperor's naval power forced him to be honest.
The system of Wanguo City is very good. It is only right to lock the barbarians in Wanguo City and not leave the city for anything.
Zhu Yijun admired Li Yasi very much. A few days ago, he personally released Li Yasi from Beizhen Fusi, who said he was hypocritical.
Legasil was arrested by Tiqi some time ago. He said that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty used humility to cover up his arrogance. He somewhat accused the emperor of hypocrisy. He was imprisoned in Fusi, Beizhen by the Tiqi Yamen. Zhu Yijun went to see When Tang Zhihan was released, he was released because Legas was telling the truth.
The reason why Zhu Yijun looked up to Ligas was because Ligas was a patriot.
Legas did not love the Ming Dynasty, he loved Spain and was loyal to his king Felipe II. In order to resolve the gap between the assassination of the envoy, he traveled thousands of miles back to Madrid, Spain, and had a long relationship with Felipe. Talk, explain the reasons, and prevent the relationship between the two countries from deteriorating further.
Going back to Legaz is risking your life. The journey itself is dangerous, and going to sea means risking your life, not to mention it is so far away. However, Legas broke his oath to marry a wife and returned to the West. He was not tied to the stake by the inquisition and burned directly because he was an envoy of the Ming Dynasty and an envoy of the left side of the light.
If Legas did not even love the land where he was born and raised, this man would have been beheaded by the emperor long ago, just a barbarian.
Matteo Ricci came to the Ming Dynasty to preach, and was thrown directly into the Taoist canon by the emperor. Galileo came to the Ming Dynasty and could move around freely because he was the leader in arithmetic, medicine, and astronomy brought by Legaz. Talent.
Zhang Juzheng glanced at Li Zhi and said that he was a cheap scholar. As expected, he jumped out.
"Your Majesty, the abolition of "Hunminzhengeum" in North Korea has encountered some resistance, and the North Korean scholar-officials are quite resistant to it." Wan Shihe heard about another North Korean incident, and it was more troublesome than he thought.
Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "Does anyone object?"
"Indeed... no one objects." Wan Shihe answered half of the question and understood what His Majesty meant.
Hunminjeongeum is the biggest class barrier, it is an artificial restriction. North Korean scholar-officials objected and wanted to continue to be immoral. Since these scholar-officials are not human beings, no one will object.
Logic pass.
The exchange between Wan Shihe and the emperor was very fast. When Wan Shihe finished speaking, the courtiers carefully considered these two short sentences before they understood the deeper meaning. It must be said that the leader of the imperial party must be Get Wan Shihe to do it.
North Korea's Li Chenggui killed the king and usurped the throne, which has some elements of the Song Dynasty, while North Korea also has too many elements of the Ming Dynasty, which neutralized the problem of insufficient military ethics in the Song Dynasty, but during Li Huo's term in office , North Korea, which valued culture over military power, has turned into such a waste.
In addition to the elements of the Song and Ming Dynasties, the most common elements in North Korea are the elements of the Yuan Dynasty, which is the four-class system.
There are four classes of people in North Korea: yangban, middle people, ordinary people, and untouchables.
The first class of people are naturally the civil and military classes. The civil and military classes have hereditary land. Ketian and meritorious fields are real land enfeoffments.
Although there was an imperial examination in North Korea, the disciples of the two classes were divided into Han and Yan through Hunmin Zhengyum, completely controlling the imperial examination, and through in-laws and favors, the hereditary replacement of the two classes was essentially guaranteed.
The 'Concubine's Confinement Law' was passed to ensure that the power in the hands of the two groups of disciples would not be diverted by the same clan. The king of Joseon tried to carry out the North Korean order, but ultimately failed. This Concubine Confinement Law prevented It's Tie En.
The law of confinement of concubines is a typical Korean custom of obedience to the mother, that is, if the mother is noble, the child will be noble, and if the mother is humble, the child will be humble. It is a bit like the concubine religion of later generations. The son born to the wife is the legitimate son. A son born to a concubine is a concubine, while a son born to an outside wife is a concubine, and a son born to someone other than the legitimate wife is a concubine.
The confinement of concubines means that concubines and concubines are strictly prohibited from inheriting the official positions of the two classes. Only direct descendants can inherit.
The reason why there is such a law as the Concubine Imprisonment Law is entirely because the disciples of the two classes need in-laws to ensure the hereditary succession of the civil and military classes. Your natal family is very powerful, how can you, a concubine, get it? official position.
The concubines constitute the second class of people in North Korea, the middlemen. They do not inherit official positions and do not have double-shift treatment. They can only work as general servants, medical officers, officials, etc. As time goes by, the middlemen completely occupy the wealthy businessmen. The class of wealthy businessmen, rural gentry, and civil servants.
Of the two groups of disciples, the legitimate sons firmly controlled the power, while the bastards and evil sons who were released began to rely on their status as officials to continuously usurp social resources.
The Ming Dynasty was not allowed to take concubines unless they were forty years old and had no children. This was a clear rule of the Ming Dynasty Law. This kind of regulation caused the Ming Dynasty to actually not recognize the legal status of concubines having children and having children outside their wives. They went home He can only exist as an adopted son, and he is treated the same as the servants, and they are all adopted sons.
But North Korea has a very clear system of polygamy and multiple concubines, with clear distinctions between wives and concubines, resulting in a large number of concubines who can act openly in the name of the family.
The two groups of disciples and middlemen continued to occupy and annex, and controlled the vast majority of North Korea's means of production. As a result, a large number of ordinary people had no choice but to become untouchables because they lost their land.
As for the special group of Hwarangs, they are the lackeys and hawks raised by the disciples of the second class and the middlemen.
Sungkyunkwan is similar to the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty. It is the highest academic institution in North Korea. Most of its disciples are disciples of the second class. Only a few particularly talented people will be admitted.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Ming Emperor and Chaotang Ming Gong, the scholar-bureaucrats in North Korea who obstructed the abolition of "Hunmin Zhengeum" were not human beings.
This is also what Zhang Juzheng is worried about. As long as the deposed king of Korea, Li Huo, is still in Yizhou, he will have a chance to make a comeback. These two classes of disciples are determined not to give up and allow the Ming Dynasty to deprive them of their dominance.
The method given by Zhu Yijun is very simple, expel the person and kill him!
North Korea is not the so-called Little China, and it really does not deserve it.
Because from the perspective of political system, North Korea is a typical feudal system, while the main system of the Ming Dynasty is the county system, which is slightly feudal, such as Yunnan Guiguo Gongfu, Luzon Sishui Marquis Mansion, and Old Port The Yingyang Marquis Mansion, even if it has a slightly enfeoffed system, is still a county system in name.
Not to mention Wu Xun, even the princes of the Ming Dynasty did not have real enfeoffments, and the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty mainly came from the imperial examination. People like Zhang Juzheng, who came from a military household without even washing off the mud on his legs, occupied more than Thirty percent, it has reached 40% in the fourteenth year of Wanli.
"I have this memorial." Wang Guoguang, the Minister of Household Affairs, stood up, bowed his head and said: "Han Feizi said: Anyone who governs the world must rely on human relationships. Laws do not come from the world or from the earth. In the human world, it is just in line with the people's hearts. Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to revise the tax law and establish a legal system. According to the law of writing, there must be a clear agent in the trial, punishment and reward; Chen Yi tries to decide things with reason."
"Shen, Zhu Yingzhen, the Duke of Chengguo, is the supervisor, Wang Cifu is the president, and Lu Shilang is the vice president. Compile the tax law and attach it to the Ming Dynasty Code." Zhu Yijun nodded and approved the request of the Ministry of Revenue.
The tax law of the Ming Dynasty itself is a bit chaotic. It is a bit chaotic, coupled with the implementation of the whip law in Songjiang Prefecture and Zhejiang Province, it becomes even more chaotic. There is no written law. Many things, local yamen do as they please, because there is no law. Just ban it.
The Ming Dynasty needs a tax law that is in line with the current world situation to clarify tax items, determine the physical points for the municipal shipping superintendent's salary hall, profits tax, tax collection department functions, overseas governor's palace, pioneering land tax law, etc. , this written code is the result of the great thinking of the Wanli Restoration. It must be difficult to repair, but it will have great guiding significance for the Ming Dynasty.
For the revision of the tax law, the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, powerful right-wingers, and virtuous rural gentry all agreed with both feet and legs!
The Tax Inspection Institute, which is affiliated to the Nanbei Town Fusi, is the tax collector of Tiqi. It has so much power that the local yamen cannot compete with it. His Majesty is extremely concerned about taxation matters and has to personally ask questions. Tiqi does not dare to When you do evil, you don't care about so many things, just collect taxes, otherwise, the tax collection court would have been full of complaints.
Now that His Majesty is willing, willing, and able to take charge, what will happen if His Majesty no longer wants to take charge, or is tired of it, and just lets go of the reins of the Taxation Institute?
Moreover, as the scale of the Tax Institute continues to expand, it would be too difficult for Your Majesty to fully rely on the emperor to be wise. Therefore, a set of effective written laws that can restrain the Tax Institute is very necessary.
Legalism has never meant to keep imperial power in a cage. Legalism emphasizes the dictatorship of the emperor.
Han Feizi Yang Quan said: The Tao is unparalleled, so it is called one. The king is one in the world, and the king is to control all power;
Guan Zi Fafa said: The mortal king The reason why a king is a king is because of his power. When the king loses power, his ministers control him. Therefore, when the king and his ministers change positions, the power becomes lower. The general idea is that the king must control all the power. Once he loses his power, he is no longer a monarch.
Furthermore, Legalists also believe that the king should not only control all power, not only dominate everything in politics, but also control people's livelihood and thoughts, and make people feel that His Majesty's kindness is not over yet. It is not over at all. All the people must respect the king even in the tone and tone of his words.
This is what Guanzi said: The master is what people look up to and lives, and the track is based on the law. Therefore, Legalism needs a wise king more than Confucianism. If the king is always wise, the Legalist approach is the most efficient, but the king really will not always be wise.
The establishment of tax laws will not affect the emperor's authority. Clear rules will make it easier to gain the recognition of more people and make the Ming tax system more complete.
“If you have something to do, you will leave the class and start playing, if nothing happens, you will roll up the curtain and retreat.” Feng Bao flicked his fly whisk and shouted in a high voice.
"Sir, please follow me to the side hall of Wenhua Hall and withdraw from the court." Zhu Yijun shook his hem and stood up.
"Quit the court!"
"I will respectfully see you off your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng took the civil and military officials to see the emperor off.
Zhang Juzheng and Wang Chonggu were walking at the back. They were walking far away from other officials. At this time, Wang Chonggu whispered: "Yuanfu, when you arrive at the side hall, why don't you come back?" Do you want to tell your majesty about Li Huo's transfer to the Ming Dynasty?"
"Inevitable." Zhang Juzheng exhaled. He still felt that keeping Li Huo in North Korea would definitely be a disaster.
Wang Chonggu looked around before continuing: "On this matter regarding the Korean royal family, just listen to His Majesty. Your Majesty has some concerns in his heart."
"Let me make it clear that Your Majesty is waiting for the Korean royal family, the civil and military classes, and the scholar-bureaucrats of Sungkyun Palace to jump out. If they don't jump up, how can Your Majesty kill them all? If you don't kill them all, won't North Korea be going the same way as the Cochin Tensions? The follow-up to the Third Division?"
"Oh, why did Wang Cifu say this?" Zhang Juzheng asked with a frown.
Wang Chonggu sighed and said: "The last king of North Korea, Li Hong, died without heirs. That Li He was originally Li Hong's nephew, and he also joined the big clan. He had great influence in both civil and military affairs. In the eyes of the squad, Li Hao is a bastard."
"Before the Japanese invaders invaded, Li Huo also wanted to correct the chaos in Korea, but the civil and military squads always refused. Cao Banshu, Jin Taizuo, built a Ming Palace with the intention of doing business with the Ming Dynasty in the three places. Jin Taizuo was also a disciple of the second class and died in the dung for no apparent reason. The soldier Cao Banshu, Li Er Zhenwu, died in the prison cell. "< br>
“This is also the reason why Yi Sun-shin did not chop Li Xin directly. Of course Li Xin deserves to die, but the civil and military classes deserve to die even more.”
"Li Huo is the King of Korea, and His Majesty is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. They are both monarchs. What do you think of these two groups of disciples?"
Zhang Juzheng thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That makes sense."
< b r>Wang Chonggu continued: "Yuanfu, the governor of Liaodong, Yu Zhao, once wrote a letter saying that all the Ming Dynasties are king's ministers. If the Ming Dynasty wants to conquer Korea, it must take this path. The land of the civil and military classes, your majesty is Determined to be impossible If it is returned to these two groups of disciples, Your Majesty will definitely abolish the status of the untouchables, equalize the land, and distribute the land belonging to the two groups of disciples to those untouchables."
"At that time, the two groups of disciples, nine. Cheng Jiuhui will take the risk and arrive That day is the day to liquidate the civil and military classes. Yuan Fu doesn’t need to worry too much. Your Majesty knows it well.”
Zhang Juzheng thought for a long time and said, “Wang Cifu’s words made me enlightened.”
"This is not what I said. It was Wan Shihe who found me that day and talked to me for a long time." Wang Chonggu waved his hand and did not take any credit. Wan Shihe was a member of the imperial party. Wan Shihe went to Wang Chonggu to say these words. In fact, It is to convey the holy will.
Wang Chonggu’s meaning is also very clear. Without the support of the emperor, how could Wang Chonggu dare to fight like this with Zhang Juzheng and win big? It's all His Majesty's mission.
Wang Chonggu left the Huangji Hall, while Zhang Juzheng stood outside the Huangji Hall. After thinking for a long time, he felt that the emperor's method was better. North Korea had essentially subjugated the country. Since it was necessary to destroy the great establishment, then destroy it. After all, this fruit cannot be plucked by the North Korean civil and military classes.
"Sir, this rolling clock is really wonderful." Zhu Yijun was playing with a rolling clock in the side hall. This thing is indeed very exquisite, converting gravity and potential energy into kinetic energy, and accurately timing.
“Your Majesty’s rolling clock is quite interesting.” Zhang Juzheng looked at the emperor’s rolling clock with a smile on his face. His rolling clock has one slope, and His Majesty’s rolling clock has nine slopes. It can time nine days and has a carved dragon. The carved phoenix is even more exquisite.
Zhu Yijun fiddled with the rolling clock for a while, then stood up straight and said seriously: "Sir, Li Hao left him in Yizhou mainly to catch rabbits with grass. If there is no grass, the rabbits will run away." "It's hard to catch them."
"Catch them all in one fell swoop and avoid future troubles forever." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said, now that he understood the emperor's plan, he agreed even more.
"Yes." Zhu Yijun walked step by step to a display window. In this display window, there were small bowls. Zhu Yijun opened the door under the display window, took out a porcelain bowl and handed it to Zhang Juzheng and said : "Sir, I would like to introduce to you the next generation of Daming Sea Trade's flagship product, thin-bodied porcelain."
"As thin as paper, as white as jade, a bright mirror, and as loud as a chime. , placed under the light, crystal clear. It is fired by the old masters of Jingdezhen, with 40% of beef bone powder added. This kind of thin-bodied porcelain, with 10% to 40% of bone powder added, the more bone powder is added, the It becomes more and more transparent.”
“The bone powder ratio of the one in the window exceeds 48%, which makes it more transparent, but the probability of successful firing is really low.”
(Thin-bodied porcelain with a bone meal content of 48%)
Zhang Juzheng held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time before he said sincerely: "Your Majesty, our Ming craftsmen are really ingenious. How much silver does this bowl cost?"
Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "I'm sure The price is thirty taels of silver each. It is not that troublesome to bake this thing, because the thin-body porcelain used for foreign trade is said to be bone china, but in fact there is no bone powder in it. "
, in the Ming Dynasty, soup was all cooked, how could there be so much bone meal for making porcelain? Therefore, the bone china in the royal special edition is real bone powder, while the foreign trade version has added quicklime.
"Gimmicks?" Zhang Juzheng held the porcelain in his hand and confirmed one thing, that is, His Majesty has many tricks. With simple packaging, the profit has doubled countless times. It is a high value-added product. Can bring more profits.
"Gimmick." Zhu Yijun walked to the next window, took out a foot of cotton cloth and handed it to Zhang Juzheng. He said with a smile: "Except for the new porcelain, this is it."
"It's a bit thin, this cotton cloth It’s thinner than Xiaobu,” Zhang Juzheng said with a frown.
"Well, deliberately, to reduce the thickness of the cotton cloth and increase the loss of cotton cloth." Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "It is just for profit, when it is profit-oriented, this kind of thing will definitely happen."
“Very good.” Zhang Juzheng had no intention of blocking it. There were many cotton spinners producing cotton cloth in Ming Dynasty, and the competition was too fierce. If the cotton cloth was thin, just buy it. In the case of fierce competition, only good quality and low price goods can be sold. in order to fully gain market share.
There is indeed a general tacit understanding among meat eaters, but there are too many workshops producing cotton cloth.
"Qi Shuai is going to escort a group of prisoners to Womagang for mining. There are about 20,000 of them. They have already completed their eunuchs. They will actively cooperate with them along the way." Zhu Yijun talked about an incident in Qi Jiguang's memorial.
Qi Jiguang wants to send Japanese pirates to Siberia to grow potatoes.
The Womagang Mine is still some distance away from Siberia, but it is not very far anymore. The Japanese pirates were prisoners of the Ming Dynasty, including more than 10,000 Huarang followers. Qi Jiguang made clear decisions about the prisoners of war. Classification, the trapped people were rescued, and the trapped people were asked to identify Hwarang repeatedly, and 7,000 Japanese pirate prisoners were added to form this group of prisoners.
These are the kind of beasts that are wilted and bad, so bad that they ooze pus. It is unlucky to kill prisoners, and it is a disaster to stay in Korea, so Qi Jiguang directly handed them over to the Liaodong Army and sent them to Womagang to grow potatoes. The son is gone!
The castration has been completed.
In the Ming Dynasty, castration was done by picking bells. It was just a cut with a knife, a squeeze, and a cut with scissors. It didn't even take half a minute for a skilled worker to castrate a person. He was fast, accurate, and not easy to get sick. It was just like knocking pigs in the village. of simplicity.
Zhang Juzheng communicated the details with the emperor and discovered a strange thing, that is, when these Japanese pirates heard that they were given food after working, they kowtowed repeatedly and showed surprise. This is because these Japanese pirates, except for that Except for the meager rations that can only satisfy the hunger, all other harvests are obtained by robbing.
“Your Majesty, recently a censor from the Metropolitan Procuratorate impeached the Marquis of Sishui, surnamed Zhengmao, for being too strict in drug control, and even a little cruel.” Zhang Juzheng talked about the recent criticism by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. .
"Whoever shouts the loudest, let him go to Luzon and tell the Marquis of Surabaya himself." Zhu Yijun directly vetoed this kind of impeachment. He said directly: "The Luzon Governor's Palace , I have to coax them to marry the eldest princess, they are so capable, they can correct it themselves."< br>
Zhang Juzheng was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Surabaya recently beheaded 1,200 drug dealers in the Manila port. More than 30,000 people were arrested and thrown into hard labor in copper towns and plantations. This During the arrest, at least more than 3,000 people died in the conflict.”
Zhang Juzheng also felt that Yin Zhengmao had gone too far. He sent out the army to fight against drugs. In Cebu Island alone, the opium fields were destroyed and more than 3,000 people were killed. Later, 1,200 people were punished and 30,000 people were arrested and sentenced to 20,000 yuan. Ten years of hard labor.
These days, it is equivalent to dying in the mines and plantations. The scope of this impact is too wide.
This is still a verdict. More than 70,000 people in Luzon were whipped.
Anti-narcotics is indeed very effective.
“Kill well, kill more!” Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, “Sir, he told me before that overcorrection must be too much. Wang Cifu told me that it cannot be legal to fight evil, and legal means not to fight evil. .”
“Our local government offices in the Ming Dynasty are inextricably linked to these local wealthy families, and most of these gangs in the city and bandits outside the city are related to these wealthy families.” Is it possible to set up a department specifically to supervise the local fight against evil, and then set up another department to supervise this department? Isn’t this nonsense? "Are you making a fuss?"
In terms of administrative costs, it is absolutely impossible to do these things legally. The serious part is that the yamen has long been infiltrated to the point where they are as close as a family. Even the emperor knows about the trouble. Direct punching is the only correct solution.
Are there any unjust, false or wrong cases? There must be, and there are many, but the court is really not omnipotent. It can only be said that staying away from these things is the best way for people to avoid getting involved in such things.
"Anyway, most of the people who died were Haiyi." Zhu Yijun said nonchalantly. Yin Zhengmao did cause the murders, but only a negligible 5% of the people in the Ming Dynasty, and the rest were indigenous people. This means Better.
Those who knew it was an anti-narcotics operation, but those who didn't know, thought that Yin Zhengmao was arresting slaves under the banner of anti-drugs. The reason why Zhang Juzheng mentioned this matter in front of His Majesty was because he suspected that Yin Zhengmao was arresting slaves.
"That's true." Zhang Juzheng thought for a moment and approved his Majesty's decision. Since the emperor approved the tobacco franchise, Yin Zhengmao has launched a complete anti-drug war, and the war has even spread from Davao City to Borneo, Yuan Dynasty On the Xu Islands, half a million kilograms of opium was destroyed, and a large amount of opium was burned with lime water.
Yin Zhengmao did not make a lot of money by selling opium to the West, but destroyed it.
