Chapter 766 The Wrath of Commoner, two people lying on their bodies, bleeding for five steps
The imperial mausoleum of the late emperor became a unit of measurement and even became a joke in the Ming Dynasty. It was mentioned over and over again. It was not a disrespect for the late emperor by the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but a constant reminder to everyone why the Wanli Reform was launched.
I was really poor back then. I had 500,000 silver and 110,000 in arrears for a year.
Now, the tuition fees for studying abroad worth two tombs of the late emperors have been accounted for. This tuition fee of 10,000 silver per person is Akbar's exploration of another path, such as rebuilding Hu Yuan's glory instead of living in the mud. Rolling in it.
As an entrepreneur, Akbar has pursuits, but this pursuit is not necessarily a good thing.
People always involuntarily beautify the road they have not traveled, feeling that it is full of flowers. When they really go on it regardless of everything, they will find that it is full of thorns, and they will start to miss the past.
The Mughal King Akbar sent princes and nobles to the Ming Dynasty to learn about this matter. There was another similar road with flowers everywhere, but when Zhu Yijun walked on this road, he knew that it was full of thorns.
If the Mughal Kingdom wants to maintain its long-term rule in that muddy land, the merging of the four classes and the caste system is an inevitable reality, and it cannot be completely changed by relying on foreign students.
Peaches cannot grow on pear trees. The result of forcing peaches to grow on pear trees is that even pears cannot be obtained.
"Your Majesty, Akbar has the credentials to present." The Ministry of Rites took out the credentials of the Mughal Kingdom, and after being translated by several general officers and confirmed to be correct, presented them to His Majesty.
Akbar wrote a very long letter of credence in very poor Mongolian, and then attached it in Persian, which was translated into Chinese by Shah Maimaiti's special envoy, and Shah Maimaiti did not understand it. He translated the Mongolian text according to Persian. After the Ming Dynasty general translated the Mongolian text, he marked out the errors in Akbar's use of Mongolian language.
The people who are best at Mongolian are in the Siyi Pavilion of the Ming Dynasty. Even the sect leader, the great Khan Tuman Khan, is not particularly proficient in Mongolian.
This letter of credence explains in detail why this study tour is called root-seeking.
[The people of Ming Dynasty are the happiest, because they know who they are very clearly, and will not forget it as soon as they wake up. After waking up from a deep sleep, the sun rises and the sun sets, but the Ming Emperor in the distance, Have you ever had this problem, waking up one day and suddenly not knowing who you are? ]
[I call myself the emperor in my land, and I tell my people that I am the Dharma Protector King, the future Buddha, the future reincarnation king, and the Brahmin, but who am I? I think it is difficult for Your Majesty to understand such a strange question of mine. ]
[My father, the law implemented here is the Dazasa, which is the Genghis Khan Code, but it is not suitable. Later I changed it to the Sharia Code, but it does not seem to be very useful. In other words, I have no written law to bind me now. my people. ]
[I know a little bit of Mongolian, or it would be more appropriate to call him Chagatai, but I am not good at it. I am better at Persian. I can write long sentences in Persian, but I can only write a little bit of Mongolian. Piecing it together will only make His Majesty laugh at my knowledge. ]
[I heard Shah Maimaiti talking about the Ming Dynasty. Everything is very exciting. The Ming Dynasty has New Year's Day, Shangyuan Zhongyuan, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival. The origins of these festivals can even be traced back to the Mughals before they were formed. The tribe was so far away, but it was passed down from generation to generation. Isn't this kind of inheritance from generation to generation a miracle? ]
[I have to celebrate Ramadan, Christmas, and worship here, but I don’t particularly recognize these, otherwise I wouldn’t have so many divine names. These are not my festivals, nor are they my culture. . ]
[This is my question, who am I? It seems that in the constant struggle and migration, I have no idea who I am. Am I a Turk? Am I Persian? It seems like it is, but I know it's not. How ridiculous it is. I don't know who I am. ]
[So, I humbly ask the Ming Emperor for permission to teach the children some useful things, at least to prevent them from being as confused and confused as me. ]
[Bless your Majesty and your people, eternal happiness. ]
Zhu Yijun clearly understood Akbar's confusion. He actually encountered an identity crisis. This crisis made him very separated and even seemed a little painful.
For the people of Ming Dynasty, this is not a matter worth wasting any energy to think about. Where to find their roots? They have already taken root in this land since they were born.
Akbar's pain is actually very simple. He needs a shore, but these shores are not the shore he wants. The locals treat him as an invader, while the Ming Dynasty treats him as a Mughal. No one Recognizing him, he can only promote a bunch of God's names.
Akbar's blessing is that he hopes that the emperor and his people will never encounter this kind of identity crisis. This is a sincere blessing.
"The root he is looking for is not with me." Zhu Yijun was silent for a moment, and suddenly understood why the Ming Dynasty became the suzerainty of Annan, Korea, and Japan. Not only did the Ming Dynasty need it, but they also needed an anchor.
Culture is never born overnight.
"Your Majesty, the military department impeached Ling Yunyi, the governor of North Korea, for criticizing North Korea." Li Youzi, the general secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, took out a memorial and said with a somewhat ugly face.
Ling Yunyi charged in front, and the Ming Dynasty officials kept stabbing Ling Yunyi in the back, stabbing Ling Yunyi again and again. However, these memorials could not be suppressed, because they would deceive the saints and deceive the king.
Zhu Yijun's expression was stunned, and he said doubtfully: "Ling Budang has just arrived in North Korea a few days ago, and he was already impeached? Isn't this too fast? Let me see how he harshly criticized the North Koreans."
< br>
While the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was reading the memorial, he also looked at Liang Menglong, who had just returned to the court not long ago. Liang Menglong was a scholar-bureaucrat with high moral standards. He followed Qi Jiguang into the court as the governor-general of military affairs and kept the rear of the Ming army in order.
The areas recovered by the Ming Dynasty were all under military control, that is, all food supplies were collected and returned to the public, and then rationed. This was all carried out by the 20,000 soldiers from Liaodong who entered the DPRK. Liang Menglong was afraid that the frontline troops would be supplied with food and grass. It’s difficult, that’s why I do it.
However, because of the Ming Dynasty's strong logistical supplies, all the collected food was used to maintain stability in the rear.
At first, various porridge factories were set up to cook porridge and distribute it to the people. Then they organized the refugees to cultivate the land in spring and summer.
Later, Liang Menglong saw that the situation was gradually improving, and began to build various mills and iron furnaces to process grain. This porridge factory had many advantages, but the only disadvantage was that it could not be used as dry food. Many farmers and craftsmen who went to work with the morning dew had to return We can only have lunch at the porridge factory. This trip back and forth delays production.
Liang Menglong successfully upgraded the porridge factory to a cake factory. Even a cake factory still needs a mill to grind wheat into flour, an iron stove, firewood, etc. to make cakes. North Koreans do not have that much iron.
A North Korean recruiter can bake two thousand cakes a day, which solves the problem of dry food and greatly improves production efficiency.
During this process, Liang Menglong discovered corruption. The Liaodong soldiers looked down upon this small amount of grain, but the Korean recruits always secretly hid these fine grains and took them home, replacing them with bran pancakes if they lost money. .
After Liang Menglong learned of this situation, he simply did not process the refined grains, but mixed bran directly into the refined grains. Although the whole-wheat cake was unpalatable, it could keep him full, and he could only work after he was full.
In this way, bran and refined grains are mixed directly. Of course, the taste is very bad, but the profit is much smaller, and it is not worth the risk for these recruiters.
The porridge factory and cake factory are the benevolent government of Liang Menglong, a scholar-official. All these porridge and cakes can be received for free only after registering with the Ming Dynasty household registration, and each family must have strong men participating in planting and production and recording work points before they can receive them, and they are available every day. Definitely, as for deformed households, orphans, etc., they are all distributed by the almshouse.
It is a treatment that only ladies from well-known families have. Women in rural areas have to work in the fields. Even if there are no strong men in the family, women can get one work-cent chopstick every four hours.
This is a typical work-for-relief approach, requiring both work and relief.
During the period of military control in the Ming Dynasty, you could always see long queues in front of the porridge and cake factories. Most of them were women and children, taking the work-shares and chopsticks saved by their husbands and fathers to receive rice porridge and big cakes. Mothers and wives Leading the children, they watched eagerly as the flatbread slowly cooked in the stove, and then took a bite happily.
Of course, the flatbread with bran added is not delicious, and there is not much oil, but if you can have enough food in the era of war and chaos, it is God's blessing and His Majesty's grace.
There is a saying in North Korea during the war: Sometimes gold cannot buy food.
Every strong laborer who works for two hours can get one work-share chopstick, and two work-share chopsticks can feed a family of four. The wood of these work-share chopsticks is not found in North Korea. It comes from the Nala tree in Luzon. It is not afraid of being eaten. Counterfeiting is a kind of currency.
Therefore, North Korea has smooth official roads and post roads, ditches, brick factories, lime factories, coke factories, docks, official residences built collectively, and shelter from wind and rain.
Recently, there is a plan for a shipyard in Seoul. It is expected that 13 shipyards will be built by the end of next year, with the ability to build 13 two-masted ships at the same time for maritime trade with the two ports of Yiju and Incheon, and with Daming.
"When Ling Butang arrived in North Korea, he stopped all the porridge factories and cake factories!" Zhu Yijun's eyes darkened. This Ling Yunyi was really ruthless and wanted to stop the cakes.
"Your Majesty, it's not Ling Butang's fault for this. He did it out of necessity. He really is a wolf from Zhongshan Mountain." Zhang Juzheng still had a good word for Ling Yunyi.
Kindness is too easy to be obtained, but one does not know how to cherish it. When Ling Yunyi arrived, he discovered many problems in the porridge factory and the cake factory, that is, serious overspending.
Liang Menglong was benevolent and could provide a piece of cake to the refugees during the war. He was a living bodhisattva who saved the suffering. However, Liang Menglong's benevolent government did not bring about empathy. Instead, it brought about some very bad phenomena, such as debt arrears. and overspending.
Some people dared to set up porridge and cake factories in Ming Dynasty and started to owe money! If you should be given two work-sharing chopsticks, give only one, or even none at all!
And these North Korean recruiters are even more audacious, blatantly harming the public and benefiting private families. Some people have no work-sharing chopsticks because they are short of money. They owe money first. It is originally a relief, and then they owe it. After they have done the work, they get the work-sharing chopsticks to pay back. .
These North Korean recruits were kept privately and sold to others in exchange for benefits.
Debt arrears, overspending, and corruption made Ling Yunyi realize that this porridge and cake factory could no longer continue to prosper like this.
Zhu Yijun said with admiration: "As the old saying goes, if you give him a little, he will remember your kindness. If you give him more, if you keep giving, he will take it for granted."
The reason that made Ling Yunyi really take action was not debt arrears, overspending and corruption. These are unavoidable things in a group. As long as they are within the tolerable range, a little work can only be exchanged for a little chaff. The cake was really not much, but when Ling Yunyi asked not to clear the debt, something unexpected happened.
North Korea recruited soldiers and secretly encouraged refugees to attack porridge and cake factories.
Zhu Yijun said with an unkind expression: "You even have a dog that barks and barks. The Ming Dynasty set up porridge and cake factories in Yiju and Pyongyang for eight months, with countless people living there. They actually attacked the porridge and cake factories! Eat mine, He drank from me and even smashed his rice bowl with bared teeth! Even dogs know how to protect their own rice bowl!”
"What a deception!"
"When you are hungry, you know that you are aggrieved. When you are hungry, you know that this is not natural?"
The Bingke report was not a false accusation, and it was reported by North Korea. Confucian scholars in the Ming Dynasty liked Rouyuan people. Such Rouyuan people themselves were kind-hearted. They felt that Ling Yunyi stopped the porridge and cake factory, which was wrong and too excessive. A bit arbitrary.
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty did not think Ling Yunyi was at fault. He was very glad that he transferred Ling Yunyi to North Korea!
"If we continue to raise them like this, we will only be able to raise a group of live fathers, and we will get used to them! I am not wrong about the Zhongshan wolf. I originally thought that the newly opened land would have some policy preferences. But now it seems that it is just We have to let Ling Butang go." Zhu Yijun exhaled and said, "If anyone thinks there is something wrong with my handling, let him go to North Korea to see for himself."
"These North Korean recruiters are not allowed to pay on credit. Their interests are harmed. Why are these refugees who rely on porridge and cake factories to make a living?" Liang Menglong asked with some confusion.
Wang Chonggu sneered and said: "Those are not refugees. There are not even many people working there. They are all thugs raised by greedy work points and chopsticks to eat well and be lazy. To put it nicely, they join the group to keep warm. They are in the same spirit. To put it bluntly, It sounds ugly, just like a scum who wants to dominate even if he has a little bit of power.”
"These scum are a minority, but it is precisely these minorities that destroy the interests of the majority in order to seek their own privileges."
"It's okay now. The porridge and cake factories are all closed. No one can eat the government's relief food."
Wang Chonggu even felt a little gloating about his misfortune. Even if he emphasized that the Ming Dynasty was all king's ministers, these people were actually Koreans. Wang Chonggu really didn't have that much sympathy for them. Only by sincerely accepting Wang Hua, that would be true. Ming Dynasty people. "Your Majesty, I am guilty." Liang Menglong bowed his head and said: "Actually, I also discovered these problems when I was here. It's just that I had more important things to do, so I didn't pay too much attention to them. I often heard those Koreans say , the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were all made of white flour steamed buns, and they were given bran cakes.”
"I noticed this dissatisfaction, but I didn't expect them to be so bold."
"It's not your fault. Not only do they not know how to be grateful, they also think that they have to eat the same food as the soldiers. Sure enough, people only have one worry when they are hungry. After eating, they will have countless worries. All of these worries are about eating. You're so full!" Zhu Yijun motioned to Liang Menglong to get down.
This is not Liang Menglong's fault. Liang Menglong's benevolent government and the benevolence in the impeachment of Ling Yunyi by Bingke are both good morals.
There are universal contradictions in everything, and there must be a major contradiction among them. Before Seoul and Inchon were recovered, the main contradiction was to recapture these two places, and then the Ming Dynasty would take the absolute initiative. In order to maintain the stability of the rear, secondary contradictions Standing aside is inevitable.
Ling Yunyi's casual chat with Qi Jiguang is still going strong.
After reading the memorial, Wang Guoguang said in a low voice: "Yes, that is the rice of the Ming Dynasty, the grain of the Ming Dynasty. If you worry about things you shouldn't worry about, and you ask for them with resentment, but you don't get them, you will know how to repent after being hungry for two days."
Under the raging Japanese pirates, North Korea could not even guarantee agricultural production. We can still have a rough estimate of the people killed by the Japanese pirates, but there is no way of knowing how many people died of starvation. The Ming Dynasty entered the Korean War to fight. The Heavenly Soldiers not only repelled the Japanese pirates, but also repaired bridges, repaired roads, and built ditches and ditches under the supervision of Liang Menglong.
In the war-torn environment, it ensured that most Koreans would not starve to death under the Ming Dynasty.
Instead of receiving the gratitude they deserved, they received jealousy and slander. Some people, for unknown reasons, spread rumors that the Ming army burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil. It was a sin for these Koreans among them not to stop the spread of rumors.
"Ling Budang's method is very good." Zhang Xueyan looked at His Majesty the Emperor and said: "Now the situation is gradually stabilizing. The land in Yiju, Pyongyang, and Kaesong has also been equalized. The Ming Dynasty has also begun to recruit soldiers and pay wages for work. Just let them buy porridge and cakes by themselves.”
In addition to getting paid for working, you can also exchange grain for porridge and cakes. It is no longer the past work-sharing chopsticks. This represents the end of the court's relief.
The imperial court's relief efforts in Seoul and Incheon will continue, but there are not many people in Seoul and Incheon under the rule of Japanese pirates.
Zhang Xueyan has always disagreed with Daming's paternalistic style. Although being a father can gain you the title of "father", there is nothing more than the title of "father". Brothers are still clear in settling accounts. This kind of governance naturally requires careful calculation.
Not being a father can save a lot of money.
For the dynasty, money is always not enough. The Ming Dynasty has not built Chidao everywhere. The Ming Dynasty has not yet popularized education on a large scale like in the early days of the country. The Ming Dynasty does not have enough industrial population and production. The balance is not materially rich enough, and the people of the Ming Dynasty have not yet gained freedom.
"Um... Ling Butang did something, and it seems that he did a bit too much." Zhu Yijun picked up the ink pen and replied: "I will definitely reprimand Ling Butang severely!"
In addition to closing the porridge and cake factory, Ling Yunyi also did something that was not so kind and even seemed a bit wicked. He asked the captured Hwarang to identify the Chinese people who were involved in the Japanese.
The captured Hwarangs were all castrated. They were going to Womagang as prisoners of war. They no longer had any worldly desires and could only survive in this life. In this case, they got a chance to identify them, and they didn't need to. Conclusive evidence.
And those middlemen who used to ride arrogantly on the heads of these Hwarangs under the Li Dynasty system only need to raise their fingers and they will be castrated like Hwarangs and go to Womagang to dig coal, plant potatoes and repair crops. Lu, Hwarang will naturally cherish this kind of opportunity.
The middle man who bullied Hwarang in the past had no choice but to be bullied in the prisoner team.
Obviously there will be many unjust, false and wrong cases, but Ling Yunyi still carries out the execution, because these vested interests in the past will definitely become resistance and instability factors for the Ming Dynasty to transform North Korea, and some of them have even become resistance, such as porridge. The most powerful recruiters in the cake factory are these middlemen.
Ling Yunyi is cleaning up Liudu, and he wants to ensure that the North Korean ground he has sorted out is loyal.
Zhu Yijun also promised that he would be severely punished. How could he do this?
The military department has been very gentle in impeaching the matter, but it just feels that it is not good to do so. I hope that your majesty can persuade Ling Budang to go behind someone's back to some extent, or at least turn off the lights and not to make any remarks.
Everything that happened in North Korea reflects the process of the birth of power. Violence sorted out production relations, production relations evolved into morality, morality gave birth to order, and only under order can there be power.
When the violence in Korea collapsed and the army was completely defeated by the Japanese pirates in a very short period of time, Lee's Joseon lost all power.
When the Ming Dynasty army began to fight in Korea, production relations began to be sorted out and clarified under violence. Benefit distribution appeared under the condition of stable production, and morality evolved. The porridge and cake factories were all benevolent governments, and order was constantly established in the distribution. , and the corruption in North Korean recruitment destroyed order and angered Ling Yunyi, who had power, and ordered the porridge and cake factory to close.
Based on the disintegration of production relations in the porridge and cake factory, the recruiters also lost very little power.
It is not wrong to say that power is based on order, morality, production relations, and violence. The only real thing here is violence, which is the cornerstone of everything.
When the king does not have enough violence, he cannot sort out the production relations, and his power will naturally be gradually lost. The right to interpret production relations, morality, distribution, and order is within the control of others.
And this logic has been discussed very clearly in "Tang Ju Fuli Fuli His Mission" written thousands of years ago: The emperor's wrath laid down millions of corpses and bled for thousands of miles; the commoner's wrath laid down two corpses and bleeded for five steps, and the world was pure.
The court discussions are still going on, and two cases have recently come out in the capital, both of which are about tax collection.
The first case is that a gambler owed thirty-five taels of silver from a gambling house. The gambling house pressed for debt and asked the gambler to pay back the money, but the gambler refused. At least thirty-five taels of silver were paid by the gambling house. The gambler acted like a rogue, claiming that he was injured and died because of the gambling house.
The gambling house is a bit of a trap. After all, the capital is the most benign place. Gambling and financial disputes cannot be dealt with by the limited energy of the court. But murder cases must be investigated. The gambling house finally reached a settlement with the gambler and paid back five taels of silver. That’s it.
Gambling houses also want to do business, so they should settle quickly and shut up the gamblers. Moreover, the thirty-tael debt was indeed a trap set by the gambling houses.
Just after the gambler paid back the five taels of silver, he received a reminder. The exempted thirty taels of silver was considered an unexpected income. According to the tax law, the tax was one silver and eight taels. The tax must be paid before the year; and the gambling house also collected When the reminder comes, pay three denarius according to the tax law.
The second case is that of the Qiyang Zhang family, a Zheshe family in Xitucheng. After receiving two reminders, they still had a chance and tried to avoid taxes by using brokers and compradors to take over the accounts. After being discovered by the Tax Inspection Institute for tax evasion for the third time, Tiqi led by the Tax Inspection Bureau Qianhu went out and ransacked the house of the Zhang family in Zheshe.
The Tax Inspection Yuan has conducted a thorough tax audit, and after deducting the taxes and fines payable, all the criminals were handed over to the Shuntian Prefecture. According to the tax law that has been compiled, the Tax Inspection Yuan has priority in enforcement.
A low-income person, a low-income family, and a high-end household, all suffered disaster. The low-income people, who were high-ranking, could not escape, and neither could the high-end households!
The Tax Inspection Yuan’s saying that His Majesty pays taxes, why don’t you pay taxes, is a true golden rule within the framework of the Ming Dynasty’s feudal monarchy.
"Is the Tax Inspection Institute too pervasive? This gambler's thirty taels of silver were settled with the gambling house. Does he have to pay taxes?" Li Youzi said in amazement.
These thirty taels of silver actually had to be taxed.
"Well, the Taxation Bureau also operates according to the rules. These thirty taels are equivalent to the gambling house giving the gambler, and the gambler returning it to the gambling house. Even if there is no actual exchange of goods, it is still a transaction. Generally speaking, the Taxation Bureau will not Tracking these down and collecting taxes will also cost money, mainly because gamblers are spreading rumors." Wang Guangguang explained.
If it weren't for this gambler's loud mouth, the Tax Inspection Institute wouldn't have time to pay attention to him, but now that it knows, it must start the tax audit process.
"That's it." Li Youzi nodded repeatedly, this was the trouble caused by his bad mouth.
Zhu Yijun frowned and asked: "Qiyang Zhang family, why do you want to evade taxes?"
"Zhang secretly sold tobacco to Sichuan and Sichuan. The tobacco business was the exclusive domain of the imperial court. Since he had violated the law, he continued to do it. He thought that he would be fine if he let the broker and comprador bear the debt, but he was still punished by the Tax Inspection Yuan. Penetration found." Wang Guoguang answered His Majesty's doubts.
Zhu Yijun shook his head and said: "He should pay taxes for secretly selling tobacco. At least the tax inspectorate won't trouble him. He's so confused."
Legas said that the Ming Emperor's demand notes were for selling indulgences. To a certain extent, this is true. The Tax Inspection Institute has the strongest detection capabilities. If you pay your taxes honestly, you may not be found so quickly, or even have your home raided. to the point where.
"The interrogation is clear, and Lu Song should be exiled to the Marquis of Sishui." Zhu Yijun made a trial after asking the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple for their opinions.
The Ming Emperor's imperial decree reached Songjiang Prefecture, and then Shen Shixing took the imperial edict to Hangzhou Prefecture, preparing to continue to promote the land return order and the whip method.
When Shen Shixing saw Yan Shixuan, his face was filled with mixed feelings. Everything went well for him in Songjiang Mansion, and he was successfully restored to his official position as Zuo Shilang of the Third Rank of Hubu, and his official position was restored.
Shen Shixing is really not afraid of returning the land at all. Even if His Majesty does not lift the ten-year ban on taking exams in advance, he is confident that the order to return the land will be implemented in place, even if it is a little late. However, Yan Shixuan's supernatural power is really frightening.
"I've met the governor." Yan Shi chose to go to Yongchang Gate to meet Shen Shixing.
"Prefect Yan is so polite." Shen Shixing got out of the car and said with a smile. Before his smile dissipated, he saw a person running over in a hurry.
Shen Shixingli feels bad.
"Futai! Prefect! Oh no! An urgent report came from Sanjiang Camp in Taizhou Prefecture, saying that a civil unrest broke out in Sanjiang Camp. At least 3,000 people rose up for some unknown reason!" Yan Shixuan's master shouted loudly and ran to Shen Shixing. .
"A civil uprising?" Shen Shixing was in a daze for a moment. His hunch was so accurate that he still had one foot in the car. He wanted to take the car back to Songjiang Mansion immediately!
Yan Shixuan turned his head stiffly and said to Shen Shixing: "Futai! This is a matter for Taizhou Prefecture and has nothing to do with me!"
The master said in a low voice: "The governor seems to have something to do with our Hangzhou Prefecture. The one who took the lead this time is a Juren from Hangzhou Prefecture."
