Chapter 835 Until now, the waves of Qionghai are washing the sand, and I still listen to the blue sky patrol the table.
Everything in the Wanli Reform is going on in an orderly manner.
Liu Ji heard the joint report of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works to hear the improvement of artillery.
The artillery before the Ming Dynasty was a bit weak. This weakness is compared with the current artillery. All the five types of artillery improvements were improved by the Academy of Art.
Archive improvement has been going on for fourteen years and will continue in the visible future.
Metallurgy is not bad. The artillery before the Ming Dynasty was too heavy, with tens of thousands of kilograms of cannons. These artillery of tens of thousands of kilograms were simply a life of field marching. It was not only field marching, but also city defense arrangements, but also transported to this city.
But over the years, with the large-scale deployment of the Iron and Metallurgical Institute, the steelmaking technology of the Ming Dynasty has become stronger and stronger, making the weight of the firearms lower and lower.
The ratio of the second gunpowder is not fixed, resulting in ballistic instability and low hit rate. It also adds weight to the cannon. The quality of the gunpowder is uneven, the gunpowder with good quality is strong, and the gunpowder with poor quality is silent, and there is not enough redundancy, which is easy to cause the cannon to only gain weight.
Now the ratio of gunpowder has been completely determined to be one pound of nitrate, two pounds of sulfur and three ounces of charcoal. Then water, wine, sugar, sweet potato starch, etc. are added to granules. The granules of the black gunpowder finally stabilized the gunpowder.
The original powder gunpowder is actually very inconvenient for transportation, because during transportation, nitr, sulfonium and charcoal will be layered. In addition to layering, the water absorption of powder gunpowder is really too strong. In the slightly wet areas, the gunpowder has to be dried.
These problems have been overcome one by one in more than ten years of research, making gunpowder a truly reliable weapon.
In addition to metallurgy and gunpowder, it is the study of gun barrel pressure, which further reduces the weight of the Daming artillery. The chamber pressure curve and gun body curve are almost exactly the same. The light gun body makes the gun maneuverability stronger.
It's fun to say. The chamber pressure is drilling holes in the gun barrel and filling it with round rod arrows. When the artillery is fired, it wraps the cannon body with thick wood and draws the curves in depth. After hundreds of tests, the chamber pressure curve is drawn. The area where the chamber pressure is large increases thicker, and the area where the chamber pressure is small decreases weight.
The Ming army used to call the cannons made nine years later, the big belly cannon.
The second is the progress of mathematics. The Ming Dynasty is studying the relationship between the anchorage point of the artillery and the stability of the artillery shell. One is to add rifle rotation stability, and the other is to use steel tail feathers. In these two methods, the steel tail feathers, which are derived from bows and arrows, have not been eliminated because some special artillery can be used.
For example, the Divine Fire Flying Crow has a wooden shell like a crow. The crow's belly is filled with gunpowder and caltrops. There is a wooden delay fuse at the tail of the crow, which is adjusted according to the range. Two "fires" are hung at the bottom of the flying crow, which is to provide power by the thruster.
The latest model of Divine Fire Flying Crow has a maximum range of 250 meters. After landing, the gunpowder in the belly explodes, but the accuracy is extremely poor. The suggestion given by the Gewu Academy is to release it in units of ten thousand to form saturated bombardment, and then advance the ground troops. This is an extremely luxurious approach.
But the Ming Emperor had always been generous in military affairs and would rather win when he was hungry. When the Ming Emperor fought against the Ming army, he would eat a cake every day to show that he could share the joys and sorrows with the army.
This makes people misunderstood that the emperor was strangling his belt to fight. The Ming Dynasty was not as poor as the emperor wanted to tighten his belt to fight.
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty made one million silver, and the wind tunnels and water caves built were difficult to improve the glider, but the range of the Divine Fire Crow was getting farther and farther, and the power was getting bigger and bigger.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty began to consciously and purposefully train professional artillery and artillery battalions, and then formed a full firearm battle between the cavalry, infantry and artillery battalions.
The training of artillery requires that the army must have a basic mathematical foundation.
Metallurgy, gunpowder, chamber pressure, mathematics and artillery training were the five major improvements of artillery by the Ming Dynasty, making artillery truly the nemesis of mountain cities, camps and forts.
The nine-pound cannon of the cannon has finally been reduced to 2,000 pounds. It can be driven by three horses, and three horses can pull various gunpowder and shells, and the maneuverability has been greatly increased.
Before completing the above improvements, every less item would double the time spent on the Ming Dynasty to demolish the mountain city, which also led to the Ming Dynasty's army relying entirely on artillery to demolish the mountain city, and the demolition was not as fast as others could repair it.
This is actually the reason why the Japanese knew that the Daming firearm was extremely powerful and still wanted to attack North Korea. They underestimated the power of the Daming artillery.
The heavy infantry needs artillery to be covered before they can enter the field. These heavy infantry are all first to land in battle. Each of them is very precious. If you enter the field directly, the losses are completely unacceptable to the court and His Majesty.
If the Malacca battle took place in the 16th year of Wanli, Zhang Yuanxun could only three months to demolish the Red Mahogany castle, instead of taking two and a half years to finally conquer it.
Shen Yiguan sent good news in Shaanxi. The Ming Dynasty rebuilt Hami City, a ten-mile camp fort, built the official road, swept away the horse bandits along the way, cleared all obstacles to the Western Regions, and finally found the legendary Yanze (Lop Nur), but to develop Jingjue Yan, you still need to continue to move westward for about 1,400 miles before you can reach Yanze.
Reopening the Western Regions is in an orderly manner. The next goal of the Ming Dynasty is the Turpan Khanate and the Luntai City, which is the Luntai City (today's Urumqi) in the Tang Dynasty poet Cen Shen's "Luntai Song Sends the Feng Dafu to Depart the Western Expedition".
Shen Yiguan made a promise that, from three to five years to rebuild Luntai City, build the fort and official roads to the Western Regions, was what Shen Yiguan had to do in Gansu.
The Ming Dynasty reopened the Western Regions. There was no enemy in the Western Regions. It was mainly the Ming army equipped with a large number of firearms. A city stronghold only requires twenty people to fully control it, and only three hundred people to defend the major traffic roads.
Compared with the Tang Dynasty's efforts to open the border, the Ming Dynasty's reopening of the Western Regions was much cheaper.
The Tang Dynasty's Long March athletes specially used for the development of the Western Regions, recruited tens of thousands of people at a time, with a total force of more than 300,000. This also gave the rebels such as An Lushan and Shi Siming an opportunity to take advantage of the opportunity. The Tang Dynasty athletes were outside, and the rebels took advantage of the emptiness of the Central Plains and took advantage of the opportunity to enter.
Ling Yunyi's royal transformation in North Korea was very smooth. Recently, he recruited many Koreans to become archers in the inspection department, fighting tigers everywhere, which are tigers in the biological sense.
This is also the first time that the Ming Dynasty learned about how far the tiger disasters in North Korea were flooded. Just during the period when Ling Yunyi arrived in North Korea, twenty-seven tiger disasters were reported in various places, and even a tiger nest was found in Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul. At the end of the 15th year of Wanli, a tiger attacked the village, resulting in the death of 140 people.
Originally, North Korea had a tiger attack team, and was led by the Korean Guards, but Li Yong's rebellious actions led to a large number of lower-level soldiers escaping, and the suppressed tiger strickenness once again. In addition, the attack of Japanese pirates, the tiger severity became worse again.
Ling Yunyi formed the archers of the inspection department. In addition to fighting tigers, they were inspecting, and North Korea's security was greatly enhanced.
North Korea is recovering rapidly from the haze of the war, which greatly enhances North Korea's centripetal force. The Seoul Shipyard has been built and can start production of ships this summer. The plan for Busan Port has been approved by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Revenue and is accelerating the progress.
The official roads and post roads in Laos have been built.
Annan Kingdom, which was in an internal strife, was unable to interfere in this matter. According to Shen Li, Minister of Rites, the Ming Dynasty's goods continued to pour in. After the bilateral economy began to become active, more and more people in Laos would use Chinese, because only by learning Chinese can there be a way out. It will be inseparable in a few years.
The Ming Dynasty's pioneering was not entirely a military pioneer, just like Deng Zilong was willing to trade his imperial sword to the Kulin people, but the Kulin people finally let down this kindness.
Shen Li has a famous saying about pioneering, if the Han people are not prosperous, even if they have a vast desert and a thousand borders, they are still a barrier.
The general meaning is: without Han people becoming the main population, no matter how large the territory is, it is just a sphere of influence, not a real county. This is the general outline of the Ming Dynasty's development.
After the court meeting ended, Liu Ji stood in front of Chengtian Gate in the palace and felt a lot of emotion.
In the 16th year of Wanli, everything in the Ming Dynasty is so prosperous now.
This time, Liu Ji felt that His Majesty had something inaccurately said. His Majesty said: Others cannot help me, and they are obsessed with it.
But Liu Ji knew very clearly that in one word, there were really more than 300,000 people who would fight for His Majesty. His Majesty felt that he could only do his own good, but in fact, the specific people below, such as Liu Ji, knew very well that a king like His Majesty was actually very rare.
Your Majesty will take things personally. Each of the four major cases is a bloody case, and it is countless infamous. Your Majesty did it. The royal family in North Korea, including King Lee Kyung, was not easy to deal with. Your Majesty did not let him fall into the water, but directly ordered Li Shunchen to kill people. Lee Shunchen was ordered to act;
In addition to the stable job of not making mistakes, the navy, the Beijing camp, and the official factory also had the work of starting a bank, profit silver, reward silver, etc. every year;
Anyone who works in the navy, Beijing camp and official factories, is very proud of going there. The social status of military soldiers and craftsmen has been greatly improved by His Majesty. Even students from the School of Science and Technology, who are craftsmen, can gain fame, and can be compared with those of the Imperial College of Science and Technology.
Even if the marriage is difficult, Your Majesty will try every means to get a wife.
Liu Ji firmly believes that the kindness narrative that Zhang Juzheng has been working hard to build is true.
Liu Ji would not sympathize with any barbarians, and Liu Ji would not stop asking for overseas interests because of his sympathy, nor would he appreciate the barbarians' subordinates. He was just a captain who did his majesty.
He didn't know how the silver, gold, sugar cube and other goods on his ship came from? He would not think about these things, he would only bring endless wealth back to the Ming Dynasty.
This is the new narrative gradually formed during the Wanli period: kindness and loyalty!
Liu Ji believes that His Majesty's terrible influence on him is completely underestimated.
In Liu Ji's view, the loss of imperial power in the Ming Dynasty was because the Ming court and emperor had no power to compete with the literati and bureaucratic class in terms of political collective, which led to the court's control over the local area becoming increasingly weak, and even the basic tax revenue could not be completed.
The current three step-by-step power of the Peasants and Workers Army makes up for this, which is also one of the reasons why the Wanli Reform was successful.
After Liu Ji hurried back to Beijing to meet the saint, he was about to rush to Songjiang Prefecture, wait for ship maintenance, cargo loading and unloading, and military rotation, and then go out to sea again.
After the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Yijun was practicing military horses in Wuying Tower, he returned to the Tonghe Palace Yu Study room to handle the memorials.
Memorial from Songjiang Prefecture.
Shen Shixing reported that all the responsibilities of the governor of Zhejiang were handed over to Hou Yuzhao. Hou Yuzhao had an accident when he arrived in Hangzhou Prefecture. Hou Yuzhao, who had been riding in Liaodong for fifteen years, had never had any trouble, fell off the horse!
The fall was not heavy, but he just fell off. Hou Yuzhao fell off his horse. After a silky donkey rolled and unloaded his strength, he was not injured. The Tiqi who followed Hou Yuzhao to Hangzhou Prefecture, investigated for a long time without believing in evil, and it was really an accident.
It’s either that someone wants to give Hou Yuzhao a warning or to start on horseshoes, food, and the road is simply because of a slippery spring rain.
"No, is this Yan Shixuan such a weird person? If you want to talk about the slippery road, Hou Yuzhao followed Ningyuan Hou to check the dry soaking water. He didn't see any falls like this along the way." Zhu Yijun looked at this memorial and had a further understanding of Yan Shixuan's victory.
Yan Shixuan is a bit weird.
Shen Shixing was unlucky, Wu Shanyan's life was lost, Shen Shixing was unlucky, now it's Hou Yuzhao's turn to be unlucky. Hou Yuzhao's equestrian was taught by Li Chengliang. The two of them took nearly a thousand people and ran to Chagan Lake without falling once. They just arrived in Hangzhou, but they fell. "It feels like a simple accident. After all, there are many differences between the slippery slime in Liaodong and the slippery slime in Jiangnan." Feng Bao said with some uncertainty: "You can take a look."
Hou Yuzhao's return of the land in Zhejiang has been progressing relatively smoothly. At present, the four governments of Hangzhou Prefecture, Shaoxing Prefecture, Ningbo Prefecture and Taizhou Prefecture have completely completed the return of the land. The luxurious households with more than 100 hectares of land handed over the land to the yamen, and the yamen has divided the land according to the fish scale book and the yellow book.
In addition to these four prefectures, there are eight prefectures in Zhejiang that need to return the fields. It takes about three to five years for Hou Yuzhao to promote the return of these eight prefectures.
"Suzhou Prefecture also plans to return the land." Feng Bao sent the memorial of the Suzhou Prefecture to His Majesty. As the capital of Jiangyou, Suzhou Prefecture planned to take the lead in handling the return of the land.
For local people, stretching their heads is also a knife, and shrinking their heads is also a knife. Everyone knows the character of Your Majesty, who is extremely broad and resolute, has the world in mind, and is persistent. If you make mistakes, you will change them and continue to implement them. They never refuse to bow their heads and admit their mistakes for the sake of the emperor, which makes things even more troublesome.
Suzhou Prefecture evaluated Suzhou's economic situation and decided to return the land.
Feng Bao said happily: "The Suzhou magistrate said it very clearly. After the return of the fields in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the agricultural and sericulture production will be greatly improved, which means that Hangzhou can raise more craftsmen. It will not be seen in one or two years. In three or five years, all Suzhou merchants have to go to Hangzhou to build workshops. After all, there are more craftsmen in Hangzhou, and later changes will occur."
There are only so many cakes in the world. Eat one more piece in Hangzhou, and the direct competitor Suzhou may eat half a piece less.
The talented men and beautiful women in Suzhou Prefecture have all gone to Hangzhou Prefecture. What kind of development does Suzhou take for him? What kind of promotion does Suzhou prefecture have? If you get the exam, your career will be ruined in this life and you will be ridiculed by others.
After Zhu Yijun thought about it, Zhu approved the memorial and said, "Then let Suzhou Prefecture give it a try. If it doesn't work, let Governor Yingtian Li Le and Governor Songjiang Shen Shixing help. Both manpower, material and financial resources are fine."
The latest ⊥Xiao⊥Shuo⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"Returning the field is not that easy to do."
Zhu Yijun wrote a memorial and looked at Feng Bao with a smile and said, "You can also find a chair to sit next to him."
"I am not tired, I can still serve Your Majesty." Feng Bao shivered and quickly replied, "If Your Majesty didn't like to kneel, he would have kneeled now. From the positive perspective, His Majesty's words were concerned about his hard work in front of the imperial court. From the side, he clearly felt that he had no energy to continue to be a big man in front of the imperial court.
In this short moment, Feng Bao thought about everything he could think of, and was sure that he had nothing wrong.
"Look at you, I'm so concerned. I just look at your hard work." Zhu Yijun was a little helpless. When he saw Feng Bao's expression, he knew that he was thinking too much.
"This, that's all." Feng Bao thought about it, moved a square stool over, sat next to His Majesty, and sorted out the memorials that His Majesty had approved and wanted to comment. Zhu Yijun originally wanted him to change a chair, but he felt uncomfortable sitting on the square stool, but he didn't say it in the end.
As an emperor, his authority is getting heavier and heavier. A word makes people think a lot. He really doesn’t have that much deep meaning.
Zhu Yijun held a memorial and said with a smile: "There is good news in Suiyuan. Ke Yanchang, a doctor of agriculture, successfully cultivated the purple-root grass sent by the envoy of the Ross country last year. It is a good thing."
Purple-root grass is cold-resistant, has strong stress resistance, and does not have high requirements for soil. It can survive with a little water. The tribute from the Ross country is a type of high-quality forage.
Ke Yanchang, a doctor of agriculture, is a top doctor of agriculture in the Ming Dynasty forage. He is a brother of the same school as Emperor Ming Dynasty. He studied under the Grand Secretary Xu Zhenming. Ke Yanchang led his people to plant the desert land of Yulin, making Yulin green and green.
It can be said that without Ke Yanchang, the forage grasses found in the Ming Dynasty would be difficult to form a large-scale planting; without Ke Yanchang, there would be no current fixed herdsmanship and animal husbandry. Ke Yanchang was still a veterinarian and loved by local herders.
The success of the Wanli Restoration was not the power of Zhu Yijun, but the unity of the Ming Dynasty and the power of ten thousand men, which reached this point today. "Your Majesty, Mr. Hai is about to retire." Feng Bao placed a memorial in front of His Majesty.
The bones of the Ming Dynasty are originally bones, Hai Rui Haigangfeng, who is old, has exhausted his heart and has weak muscles and bones. Hai Rui, who is 74 years old, is no longer able to continue to preside over the affairs of the Censorate.
Li Youzi retired in the 15th year of Wanli. If he had not been looking for a suitable candidate, Hai Rui should have retired last year.
"Add the young master, and gave him a python pattern crown belt, and gave him five hundred taels of silver, ten wires, 30 thousand treasures, and 30 jars of national cellars. Qingqin Garden built by Peking University Camp gave Hai Zongxian." Zhu Yijun rewarded Hai Zongxian. He said with a complicated expression and hesitation: "Another, I will be grateful to Hai Zongxian, the adopted son of Hai Zhongshi, is Shang Baosiqing."
Hai Rui had three sons who died one after another. He had an adopted son, Hai Zhongshi. This adopted son was not easy to study and was not good at studying, but it was also considered that someone inherited Hai Rui's glory.
The reason why the emperor hesitated was because Hai Rui had a bad relationship with this son. Hai Rui was extremely honest all his life, but Hai Zhongshi got into the eyes of money. Relying on Hai Rui's reputation, he was swaying everywhere and was an adopted son. After a while, the relationship between father and son became very stiff.
Zhu Yijun picked up his pen and wrote repeatedly: "The iron-faced dragon picture is the cloth body, and the Qiong Cliff is made of cypress spirit; the stele forest is cast with three thousand evil words, and the plain clothes are recovered by a million jin. Three parts of the southern yamen are clear and the cauldron is facing north to sweep away the scales of greed."
"To this day, the waves in the Qiong Sea are still watching the sand, and the blue sky is still patrolling the table."
The Iron-Faced Dragon Picture shows that Bao Zheng is both the parents of the people; the Stele Forest is the Happy Stele Forest set up by Hai Rui outside Chaoyang Gate; Su Yi is the Su Yi Censor established by Hai Rui; the Three-Fen Nanya is the achievements of Hai Rui when he followed the emperor in the 13th year of Wanli; the sweeping greed scales means that Hai Rui was fighting corruption as the Ming Dynasty magic sword.
Zhu Yijun gave Hai Rui a poem, telling Hai Rui that his achievements will never be forgotten in the Ming Dynasty.
"Happy Stele Forest, change its name to wake up Shilin." Zhu Yijun changed the Happy Stele Forest set up by Hai Rui to a new name. It was not an unnecessary move, but Hai Rui was leaving the court. I hope that Hai Rui would leave the court, and this stele Forest can still alert the world.
The emperor's imperial edict was sent to the cabinet, and then Xu Jue rushed to Hai Rui's residence with the emperor's imperial edict. The house where Hai Rui lives now is also the house given by the emperor. Xu Jue has been here several times. Hai Rui is a real Qingliu and there is no luxury in his home.
Xu Jue and others went to the main hall, and only waited until Hai Rui received the order. Hai Rui's wife, second wife and concubine all died of illness one after another. The three daughters were married and their adopted son Hai Zhongshi seemed to be out of the house.
"The Chief Constitution of the Censorate Hai Rui received the order." Xu Jue shook the whisk, and the two small yellow gates opened the imperial edict. Xu Jue shouted loudly, "The Emperor of Fengtian Chengyun, the edict said: "I am so cautious in my career, but I am so cautious all day long and night, but I only rely on the righteous ministers to support the pillars. Looking at your bloody comments, I feel sad." "Sixteen years of wind and frost, I have used the bones of the pine trees to hold my Ming Dynasty; I have thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and I hold the light of the divine sword, Cleansing all the evil and turbid flow; now I hear that you are sick, it is like breaking my arms and legs, but I think of you loyalty, how can you bear to mislead me with the personal friendship of the king and the ministers? "
"Bao Zheng once knew Kaifeng and hung up in the sky, but now he let me hide his sword and leave his sword light, Ji An still wears a silver seal when he lay down to his parents' care. "
"There are few iron faces under the nine-level palace, and there are many monuments in history for thousands of years. I ordered the internal office to sign a plaque "Feng Xian Chui Xun" to give it to him, and hang it in Qingqin Garden. ”
"These dynasties have been established, and they have given me virtue and benefit. The edicts have been reported to the world, and all the people have heard of it."
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Hai Rui bowed again and took over the imperial edict.
After Xu Jue handed over the imperial edict to Hai Rui, he took out a handwritten imperial letter from his sleeve and handed it to Hai Rui. He smiled and said, "In addition to the imperial edict, Your Majesty wrote an additional poem to the General Secretary of Hai, and remembered it and sent it to Qingqin Garden."
"Is the son of the son not at home?" Xu Jue asked about Hai Zhongshi. Hai Rui had phlegm disease and could not stand for a long time. His condition had been worsening for more than a year. Even His Majesty often sent high-level medical officials to treat him. Logically speaking, Hai Zhongshi should take care of Hai Rui at home.
But Xu Jue came to announce the imperial edict, but he didn't even see Hai Zhongshi. "Oh, it's better not to mention it, or not to mention it." Hai Rui waved his hand repeatedly and said, "He has been a little close to the merchants in southern Fujian recently. If I want to do business, I won't let him do it. He was so angry that he had a big fight with me and went out." "Our family knows, and naturally he will report it to Your Majesty truthfully." Xu Jue's declaration of orders was only halfway. The reward for the fifth-rank Shang Bao Siqing, who was in the sea of grace, was not able to read it, and judging by this posture, he was afraid he couldn't give it to him.
In this case, Hai Rui's adopted son is the biological son. His father is seriously ill, but his son is not in front of him. This is unfilial. The court will never give the official position of grace to Haizhongshi. Even if Haizhongshi is his biological son, the conservatives of the Ministry of Rites cannot agree, and unfiliality is a sin.
According to the Ming Dynasty, this kind-hearted fifth-rank Shangbao Siqing can be hereditary to the third generation without regard for the matter. His Majesty also rewarded a large house and a mansion. Qingqin Garden was given to Hai Zhongshi, which was in vain.
Hai Rui has been an official for life. If he had intended to give Hai Zhongshi, he would not have said so much in detail. Obviously, this son Hai Rui didn't want to admit it.
"Your Majesty asked Hai Zongxian if there is any recommended candidate for this position of General Constitution." Xu Jue asked about the candidate for General Constitution of the Censorate. Hai Rui did not recommend it in his resignation memorial.
Hai Rui said with a serious expression: "There is no reliable candidate. If there is any, it is Wang Cifu's only son Wang Qian."
"After our family returns to the palace, we will report to Your Majesty the truth." Xu Jue bowed and left Hai Rui's house.
Hai Rui didn't write it in the memorial when he knew it was not appropriate.
Wang Qian's identity as a juren is problematic. Wang Chonggu made a fraud in the village examination and gave Wang Qian a juren. The Constitution of the Censorate is extremely noble. This stain is that even if it is a forced appointment, it will not be recognized by his colleagues in the Censorate.
Xu Jue returned to the palace and did not go to Tonghe Palace directly. Instead, he went to Dongchang and sent some fans to carefully investigate the situation of Hai Zhongshi before going to Tonghe Palace and gave his Majesty all the experiences and experiences at Hai Rui's house to His Majesty. "Wang Qian is actually quite suitable. Next chapter, Wenyuan Pavilion's discussion. If it doesn't work, the court will recommend it." Zhu Yijun also knew that Wang Qian's ability as one of the simple censors, was fine with his ability to lead the Censorate. These were all the pit dug by Wang Chonggu's son, and it was also the reason why their father was kind and filial to him.
"What's going on in this Hai Zhongshi?" Zhu Yijun's face became cold and stern. He was not very satisfied with Hai Zhongshi. His father was seriously ill, and Hai Zhongshi was not before the bed!
Xu Jue took out a page of paper and handed it to His Majesty and said, "Report to His Majesty, the Fujian merchants who are very close to the sea used to smuggle white goods."
White goods mainly refer to cotton and cotton cloth, and then gradually extended to commodities such as cotton, tea, and iron. The Ming Dynasty adjusted the customs declaration process and set up customs offices in all Maritime departments to conduct one-stop customs declaration, alleviating the proliferation of smuggling of white goods.
"Sea Zhongshi, this idiot! It's unattainable! These Fujian merchants value him not as a person. What ability do they have to be valued? Fujian merchants value Hai Zongxian's reputation!" Zhu Yijun's mouth twitched. He didn't care. Hai Rui's reputation for his whole life would be ruined by this adopted son.
Xu Jue whispered: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this Hai Zhongshi is aware of what the Fujian merchants are doing for him. He often silly around under the name of Hai Zongxian."
Xu Jue's words were already very polite. The situation that the fans heard was worse. Hai Zhongshi once said after drinking: "The name of the Qing Dynasty is useless, it's better to exchange for money."
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said, "Let the Hai family in Qiongzhou select another person with both moral integrity and ability to come to Beijing and adopt it in the name of General Xian of Hai."
