Chapter 104: The barbarian wolf-faced beast is afraid of power but not immoral
Mencius said: Why should the king call him profit? There is only benevolence and righteousness.
The Analects of Confucius said: Zi rarely talked about profit, destiny and benevolence (Confucius rarely talked about benefits, but he supported destiny and benevolence).
"The Great Learning·Yu Tongpian" says: Those who want to grow the country but care about the use of finances must become a small person. He is a good person, and the villain is responsible for the country, and disasters will come. Although there are good people, there is no such thing as this! This means that the country does not use profit as a benefit, but righteousness as a benefit.
Looking at the standards of Confucius, Mencius, universities, etc., Zhang Juzheng was a villain. He was a countryman who only cared about finances. He spoke only for utilitarianism. His methods were ruthless and his anger would be repaid. He rarely talked about benevolence and righteousness. .
Ge Shouli clearly grasped Zhang Juzheng's Achilles' heel, Gao Qi Yuxiang's trial case, Ge Shouli clearly wanted to pursue it, and then joined forces with Wan Shihe, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites of the Jin Party, to argue with officials, Zhang Juzheng was really in trouble It is difficult to pass the test so easily, even if the little emperor expressly supports it.
However, Ge Shouli still suppressed the Jin Party spokesperson and prevented them from discussing the matter in depth.
When Confucius was in charge of politics, he first said that there was enough food; Guanzi also said that propriety and righteousness are born from wealth.
Because the Ming Dynasty was really poor, so poor that benevolence and righteousness were too luxurious for the court.
The disciple who was taught by Zhang Juzheng, the Ming Emperor, was also a villain.
So when Gao Qiyu pleaded guilty, Zhu Yijun relegated Gao Qiyu to Liyang County, Suzhou Prefecture, to take back the fields cultivated by Ma Yilong.
Ever since Xu Zhenming talked about the occupation of Ma Yilong's farmland, the little emperor has always written down this incident in his notebook. If Gao Qiyu does this well, the little emperor will really forgive him. .
"Meet your Majesty." Xu Zhenming hurriedly greeted him. The Ming Emperor was really very concerned about farming and would come to see him every day.
"Excuse me, what are you busy with today?" Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Zhenming and asked with a smile.
“Make sweet potato starch.” Xu Zhen answered clearly and concisely.
There are three types of sweet potatoes.
Eat fresh, slice and dry in the sun for long-term storage, and make starch.
Today, Xu Zhenming’s auspicious gift to the little emperor is to make sweet potato starch into starch. The starch can be further processed into jelly, vermicelli, vermicelli, starch, etc.
The completely washed sweet potatoes were carried up basket by basket and placed in front of a strange barrel. This wooden barrel had a wooden wheel with a shaking handle on the outside, and inside the barrel, With a licker-in, Zhu Yijun looked at the barrel and asked strangely: "What is this?"
Xu Zhenming couldn't explain it clearly, so he said directly: "Work."
It is better to say a thousand words than to do it once.
The washed sweet potatoes were continuously thrown into the bucket, and then Xu Zhenming kept shaking the crank, driving the wooden wheel to rotate, and the licker-in in the bucket began to rotate, and the bouncing sweet potatoes were thrown into the bucket. The licker-in is crushed into filaments.
These silk-like sweet potatoes were placed in the mortar next to them. Two people held up a wooden hammer and began to beat the sweet potato silk until it became a paste.
Add a little water to the sweet potato paste, and then filter it through the hanging bag. The hanging bag is fixed by two crisscrossed wooden sticks. The hanging nets are hung at the four corners. The hanging nets are made of cotton and are extremely dense. .
After the sweet potato paste was filtered, the residue was piled aside, and under the hanging bag, there was a white and uniform paste.
Zhu Yijun is also like a curious baby, working around and trying out these tools that do not require a lot of effort.
"The licker-in is made of steel and wood, mainly wood. The nail teeth are made of sharp steel. The hanging net is extremely simple and is made of densely woven cotton thread." Xu Zhenming said to the white and uniform paste: " After one day, the starch will be precipitated, and then the fine residue will be removed and the radish will be removed. When there is no residue, the starch block will be wrapped in water and air-dried to obtain the starch. ”
“ These dregs can be used to make wine.”
The first time Zhu Yijun learned about sweet potato roasting, it turned out that it was made from sweet potato residues, not sweet potatoes.
Xu Zhenming asked someone to bring over the prepared starch, which was of high quality. Starch was also called caramel in the Ming Dynasty. It was a very common food ingredient and was very resistant to hunger. There is also a saying that one pound of flour is two pounds of grain. .
The shelf life of sweet potatoes when eaten fresh is too short. Compared with traditional crops, the preservation of sweet potatoes is always a problem. Once they sprout, they are prone to food poisoning. Even if they are sliced and air-dried, there is a risk of getting damp. The sweet potatoes can be turned into starch, and the residue can be used to make wine. You can save a lot of food.
How to prepare sweet potatoes quickly is also Xu Zhenming’s most important task after harvesting sweet potatoes and starting to plant beans to cultivate the land.
Now Xu Zhenming is done.
"This thing is very good. I gave it to Mr. Yuan Fu for consumption." Zhu Yijun looked at the prepared starches and said to Feng Bao with a smile on his face: "The Quanchu Guild Hall is about to close. After leaving Beijing, send more prepared starch to students in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou, and take some back with you.” Sending some over and letting people bring back sweet potatoes can be regarded as promoting sweet potato cultivation. This product is very good for famine relief."
The imperial court vigorously promoted sweet potato cultivation, mainly in military villages. Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and Ma Fang. They were all given potato seedlings as a supplement to their staple food.
Let people from all over the country come to Beijing to take the exam and take some sweet potatoes home, and use the Jin gentry all over the Ming Dynasty to bring the sweet potatoes back to every corner of the Ming Dynasty. This is auxiliary promotion.
Whether and how these Jin gentry will promote it, Zhu Yijun did not say clearly, but if they take it back and have someone to plant it, no matter how good it is, the Jin gentry does not want to have their homes broken open and their heads smashed by desperate people. , robbed all their granaries.
Zhu Yijun took advantage of every opportunity to promote sweet potato cultivation, even allowing people to come to Beijing to take the exam.
Promoting sweet potatoes is a rare consensus among emperors, courts and gentry.
Feng Bao took the order and left.
Zhu Yijun and Xu Zhenming made a comprehensive summary of the process of making starch from sweet potatoes.
It is mainly divided into cleaning, crushing, filtration, sedimentation, removing upper impurities, adding water and mixing, shredding, reprecipitating, removing upper impurities, taking out the starch bag to shape and control water, air drying, crushing and drying, and harvesting. Use these steps in reserve.
Xu Zhenming said with a strange expression: "Your Majesty, this is what nobles eat. They pay attention to the fine food and fine cooking. That's why it is so troublesome. In fact, it is cleaning, crushing, filtering, and sedimentation. It can be used, and the dregs of wine can also be eaten. Small people don’t care about this.”
When you are hungry, you can eat Guanyin soil.
After sedimentation, repeated filtration is because the emperor wants to see it and the emperor wants to eat it, so it is so cumbersome and repeated filtration. If it is among the people, after sedimentation, they can directly control the water in a cloth bag and air-dry it. If you eat it directly, there is no need to pay attention to it.
This is also the difference between palace use and folk use. The repetition of these processes is the most time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Farming in the palace is not farming, it is serving the ancestors. The food at the entrance of the palace also pays attention to the food and the fine meat, so it seems cumbersome.
Feng Bao took the starch and sweet potatoes prepared by Baoqisi to the Quanchu Guild Hall to reward him. This was the second time that the palace came to the Quanchu Guild Hall to reward his son since he came to Beijing. This is to give face to Zhang Juzheng, the owner of the museum, and to dispel certain rumors.
After Gao Qiyu’s case, there have been rumors that the young emperor and the imperial master parted ways and turned against each other.
Zhu Yijun sent the lieutenant to reward him again, which is to say: The relationship between the emperor and Yuan Fu is still very good. Don't listen to those windy remarks, just believe that the emperor and the chief minister are not at odds, and think that the relationship between the Ming Emperor and Yuan Fu revolves around power. Fighting.
The little emperor gave Zhang Juzheng a good reputation and made him shine in front of his fellow villagers.
"The palace's intention is to let them bring back sweet potatoes and cut the seeds. As for whether they can plant them or not, whether they can live or not, they all know that there is such a thing." Feng Bao explained His Majesty's intention in detail, The little emperor was not very optimistic about Jin Gentry's promotion of sweet potatoes.
These gentry themselves don’t farm, and they can’t even tell the difference between wheat and rice. If you expect them to promote sweet potatoes, you might as well expect them to write a letter.
Zhang Juzheng looked at those starches and was stunned. He had cut a lot of sweet potato shreds before and dried them. Later, they got damaged due to moisture and were not made into powder.
Xu Zhenming’s method of making sweet potatoes does not require cutting into strips, drying and grinding, but making them directly, which saves more manpower.
Recently, there is a French wine in the palace, that is, strong wine. The little emperor named it Diguashao, which is actually brewed from sweet potato dregs.
In early March, Zhu Yijun opened the Huangji Palace and presided over the palace examination. There were 293 Chinese-style candidates in the palace examination. Zhang Juzheng, Lu Tiaoyang, Zhang Han, Tan Lun, Wan Shihe, Wang Guoguang, Wang Zhigao, Zhu Heng and other cabinet ministers, Ming Gong of the Six Ministries, and General Xian Ge Shouli and Hai Rui of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, together with the examiners Wang Xilie, Shen Shixing, and Wang Jia Ping, Fan Yingqi and others were the examiners and began the palace examination.
Originally there were 300 people in the Chinese examination system, but there were seven missing. It was these seven people who were found to have cheated in the examination room fraud case. After they were removed from their honors, they would never be used again.
It is also customary to expel seven people without replacing them, and replacing them is another fight. Who should be replaced, and which company should be replaced, are all endless problems.
Ce Wen's palace examination was a process. Zhu Yijun named the top three, Feng Bao read a lengthy imperial edict, and amidst shouts of long live, long live, long live, the imperial examination in the second year of Wanli officially ended.
Since the examination is Chinese style, the imperial examination will generally not be dismissed.
It took Xu Fan a total of seventeen days from Songjiang Prefecture to Beiya Capital. After entering the capital, he was first escorted to the Ministry of Punishment, and after being interrogated, he was ready to be sent to Jizhou, and in Before being sent to Jizhou, Xu Fan was sent to Fusi, Beizhen.
Zhu Yijun met with Xu Fan in Baoqisi.
Zhang Juzheng’s request before the Chinese New Year, asking the emperor to meet with foreign officials, also included meeting with the wronged people. Xu Fan complained about the injustice in the Ministry of Justice, saying that he did not kill anyone, but it was just a process, and the court made a resolution , His Majesty Zhu Pi's case is usually not reversed so quickly.
Originally it was a formality, but the little emperor rarely found Xu Fan entering the palace to express his love to the saint.
"The common people pay homage to Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live, long live your Majesty." Xu Fan knelt on the ground and no longer called himself a minister, but called the common people. He no longer had an official status.
"No courtesy." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Xu Fan, I know your injustice, Yuan Fu also knows your injustice, the court also knows your injustice, and the local officials in Nanya also know the injustice, and they harmed you Your people know better than you how wronged you are."
"Xing Qianhu Luo Bingliang has investigated your murder case clearly. It was not you who killed anyone, nor was you the one who hurt others."
Xu Fan sighed heavily and said: "The common people have no power to restrain a chicken, so please give your Majesty a clear warning."
Killing and hurting others has nothing to do with Xu Fan. Xu Fan is a scholar and he really doesn't know how to fight.
"Do you know who harmed you?" Zhu Yijun stood up and asked.
Xu Fan shook his head and said: "The common people don't know."
"Gu Zhangzhi, his son Gu Shaofang, Gu Jiuxi of the Guanglu Temple Department, Kunshan Gu family want to harm you." Zhu Yijun did not sell out. , directly revealed the mystery and answer.
Gu Shaofang was scolded by Xu Fan, and he held a grudge. His father, Gu Zhangzhi, was the Yin of Yingtian Prefecture, so he committed such a crime. Firstly, he was retaliating, and secondly, he was trying to scare the Jiangnan gentry away from surrendering to the imperial court. If you dare to surrender to the imperial court, Xu Fan will be the price.
Now Gu has become the chicken that kills the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Gu Zhangzhi and Gu Jiuxi were dismissed from office and taken to Beizhen Fusi Xu Xing for questioning. Gu Shaofang was supposed to take part in the February examination, but was dismissed from his job because of his guilt. Gu's home was also confiscated. , the farmland was returned to the Songjiang Town Navy, and the money was also escorted to Beijing.
In Zhang Juzheng's plan, the chicken was supposed to be Mrs. Xu, but Mrs. Gu jumped out on her own and shouted, "Kill me quickly, kill me!" I am the boldest.
Zhang Juzheng was a villain with sharp words, and the students he taught were also villains with hearts smaller than the eye of a needle. This pair of emperor and minister were also evil people.
Since Mrs. Gu was making such a noise, Zhang Juzheng raised his knife and ransacked Mrs. Gu's house.
Jump, jump again! Behead them all.
The Gu family, which had been passed down for more than two hundred years, was uprooted in this way. Even several families related to the Gu family were implicated to varying degrees because of their in-law Gua Man.
"Go and see the fate of your enemy." Zhu Yijun took Xu Fan and headed towards Fusi Yamen in Beizhen.
This is not the first time Zhu Yijun has come to Beizhen Fusi. The last time was the assassination of the king and the driving case. Everything inside and outside Beizhen Fusi was cleaned up, and this time the little emperor was also After saying hello in advance, Beizhen Fusi even sprinkled some toilet water to cover up the smell of blood.
Compared to Jiejuyuan, which no strangers are allowed to enter, Beizhen Fusi is not so cold.
The interrogation began soon, but Zhu Yijun was still in the back hall and did not interrogate himself.
Zhu Xixiao looked at Gu Zhangzhi and Gu Jiuxi in front of him and shook his head. He took out the first dossier and said: "Gu Zhangzhi, in the forty-third year of Jiajing, you bribed Xu Jie's calligraphy and paintings at a discount of three Is it possible that more than ten thousand taels of gold and silver were promoted from the prefect of Raozhou to the censor of Youqiandu of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate? "
"Yes." Gu Zhangzhi was silent for a moment, knelt on the ground, and confessed. .
Since Zhu Xixiao has taken out this file, it is natural that all the witnesses and physical evidence are there. This is the big disadvantage of appeasement. There are many thieves in Raozhou near the lake, and the people are fierce and aggressive. Gu Zhangzhi’s plan for the prefect of Raozhou Among them, both times were negative reviews, and Gu Zhangzhi's promotion seemed very unexpected.
Zhu Xixiao picked up another file and said: "In the second year of Longqing, you bribed Xu Jie with some gifts at a discount of fifteen thousand taels of gold and silver, and also received Yingtian Magistrate. Is this possible?"
"Yes." Gu Zhangzhi confessed again. This was before Xu Jie became an official. In order to create a protective umbrella for himself in Nanya, Xu Jie's daughter married Gu Jiuxi. The Gu family and the Xu family were in-laws. In the words of the little emperor, This is a clan party.
"Since the third year of Longqing, you have accepted bribes from Xu Jie, worth more than 50,000 taels of gold and silver. Since then, you have repeatedly obstructed Governor Yingtian Hai Rui from thoroughly investigating Xu Jie's embezzlement case. Is this true?" Zhu Xixiao took out the third file and asked.
“Yes.” Gu Zhangzhi confessed. During the court discussion of the cases of Song Yangshan, Wang Daokun, Yu Dayou, Chen Lin, Zhang Jin, Zhang Cheng, Xu Fan, etc., Hai Rui kept emphasizing that these were all old skills. The difficulties Hai Rui faced back then were almost exactly the same. Yingtianfu Yin Gu Zhangzhi has a close relationship.
Zhu Xixiao continued to interrogate the case. There were many case files. After Gu's house was searched, many important cases were found. Zhu Xixiao interrogated for a long time, and Gu Zhangzhi did not plead guilty.
When you are in the sky jail, facing a case with irrefutable evidence, if you argue any more, you are asking for trouble.
Zhu Xixiao took out the last case file and asked: "In the Xu Fan murder case, one prostitute and one boy were killed, and four people were injured. Who did it?"
"I instructed Ying to do it. Tian Qun Xiao Huang Fu, Huang Fu was a repeat offender, and I secretly pardoned his crime and got out of prison. He specialized in raising his own feathers and made friends with officials. In order to obtain heavy bribes, Xu Fan humiliated my son so much that he ordered Huang Fu to frame him." Gu Zhangzhi was silent for a moment. , took this matter upon himself.
Zhu Xixiao said with emotion: "This is what your son Gu Shaofang did. He has already made it clear, but you want to take the blame on yourself?"
Gu Zhangzhi is not convinced. Did Zhu Xixiao deceive him, or did his son really admit his guilt? He kowtowed again and said: "All kinds of evil deeds are all done by me alone. My son is studying and has no ears to hear what is going on outside the window. Huang Fu is my lackey and will not listen to me." It’s natural for me to appoint you.”
"Huang Fu also confessed that it was Gu Shaofang who instigated it." Zhu Xixiao took out another testimony and said: "Huang Fu's testimony is consistent with Gu Shaofang's testimony."
Gu Zhangzhi still insisted: "It was me who instigated it."< br>
Zhu Xixiao was indeed deceiving Gu Zhangzhi.
Zhu Xixiao is an old official. In this case, he could tell at a glance that it was Gu Shaofang, his son, who instigated his lackey Huang Fu to kill people and frame him. Gu Zhangzhi took it on him in order to wipe his own ass. .
Who instigated it?
Huang Fu said that it was Mr. Gu who instigated it. Gu Shaofang insisted that he had not instigated it, while Gu Zhangzhi took all the blame on himself.
This issue is unclear. Gu Shaofang and Gu Zhangzhi have obviously had a disagreement for a long time. Someone between father and son must take responsibility for this.
Zhu Xixiao said: "Gu Zhangzhi, you have secretly conspired to let thieves take advantage of you. You have opened up a wide range of bribery and bribery, which has led to the corruption of the law and the corruption of small groups. If you confess, we intend to kill you. Send it to the Ministry of Punishment and then to Dali Temple. If you want to complain as soon as possible, don't wait until the expiration date."
Zhu Xixiao gave the opinion of Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, Gu Zhangzhi made a decision, and the entire Gu family was exiled to the misty land of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou. .
Beizhen Fusi is a reference opinion. The specific trial will need to be reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.
"There is no injustice." When Gu Zhangzhi heard that Zhu Xixiao gave the penalty, he knelt on the ground. He did not intend to cry out for injustice, and there was nothing wrong with him.
Gu Jiuxi was completely different. He struggled hard and shouted: "He is not unjust, I am unjust. I just received a letter from my uncle and wrote a memorial. I didn't do anything. Why do you want to deprive me of my official status and exile me to the border of Yunnan? "I am wronged."
"Xu Fan, do you think Gu Jiuxi is wronged or not?" Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Fan in the back hall. asked with a smile.
"With all the people in the house, An has a complete egg? How can there be any talk of injustice." Xu Fan said helplessly. Gu Jiuxi was his brother-in-law, and his sister was married to Gu Jiuxi.
In the end, Gu Jiuxi stabbed Xu Fan in the back without hesitation.
"Is it unfair? If you shout, someone will answer?" Zhu Xixiao waved his hand and ignored Gu Jiuxi's cry of injustice.
Zhu Yijun showed a smile in the back hall, he is him, and he will repay the little emperor.
Xu Fan surrendered to the imperial court and was willing to cooperate with the imperial court. If Gu Zhangzhi and Gu Jiuxi dared to touch the people of the imperial court, they would not have their claws chopped off. The Jin gentry would imitate everything they did and they would overstep their bounds.
"Xu Fan, your unjust case cannot be reversed until the Nanya land return matter is settled. When you get to Jizhou, you will take charge of the land reclamation matter and make a good contribution. Then I can also be in the court meeting. I will open my eyes for you and take the opportunity to reverse the case," Zhu Yijun told Xu Fan.
The verdict cannot be reversed immediately. Only after the Nanya return to the land is over can the verdict be reversed for Xu Fan.
Zhu Xixiao ignored Gu Jiuxi's cry of injustice. Not everyone who cried grievance could be summoned by His Majesty. Xu Fan's injustice was true, but Gu Jiuxi was not unjust at all. This person's crime included more than just a memorial. There are also a lot of crimes on him. Only a lot more than Gu Zhangzhi.
"The criminals who led the case were Wang Bai, the former deputy envoy of Guangdong Haidao, and Huang Qing, the former commander of the capital." Zhu Xixiao did not stop examining the case. Today's case is not only Gu Zhangzhi and Gu Jiuxi, but also two Guangdong The criminals who came were Wang Bai and Huang Qing.
Zhu Xixiao took out a dossier and said with a frown: "Yin Zhengmao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, wrote: In the thirty-second year of Jiajing, the foreigners came to Hao Mirror. On the pretext of the boat hitting the cracks of the wind and waves, the water was wet. I would like to borrow the land for drying temporarily, and Wang Bai, the deputy envoy of Haidao, offered me a bribe. "
"It only lasted for more than ten years. Later, those who were profiteering from industry and commerce began to gradually transport bricks, tiles, wood and stones to build houses. All the settlements were destroyed, and Hao Jing was left alone."
Yin Zhengmao gathered fifty ships and drove Xiao Flangji's people into the sea, and then he had to give up to Xiao Fu. The Langji people increased the tax to 20% as a punitive tariff to support the royal family.
"You two accepted bribes from Haidao, five hundred taels of gold and silver every year?" Zhu Xixiao couldn't help asking questions. Wang Bai and Huang Qing sent Tuenmen to Tuenmen for a bribe of five hundred taels of gold and silver every year. , Haojing and other places were taken over by Xiao Franji?
That’s ridiculous!
Even if you charge a little more, just sell the land for five hundred taels of silver? Losing one's soil will lead to beheading!
"The one who created the terracotta warriors has no descendants. We, the Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty, the laws of the Han Palace, you two are trying to do this, harming other generations!" Zhu Xixiao said angrily.
Wang Bai knelt on the ground, grabbed the ground with his head, and said loudly: "The red-haired Panyi of Macao will give you five hundred taels of land rent every year. Tishuai is a wise man."
"Then Yin Zhengmao was even more greedy. In the fifth year of Longqing, when Yin Zhengmao arrived in Guangzhou, he directly seized the market that we had established for more than ten years, and secretly allocated foreign ships to 20% at a time. When the war was tense, it could even exceed Fifty percent!"
Huang Qing hurriedly echoed: "Yin Zhengmao has done all kinds of bad things. He not only robbed the market we set up, but also used it to feed the Jin gentry. Once there was no food and salary, he even directly robbed it and opened the granary to use it. The Jin gentry were miserable and dared not speak out. Yin Zhengmao asked for bribes excessively. When the war got tight, he made large donations and forced the Jin gentry to pay grain and silver. "
"He has been in Guangzhou for two years and has done at least thirty. With more than ten thousand taels of silver, his family is extremely luxurious."
"If we talk about greed, Yin Zhengmao is even more greedy."
"Yin Zhengmao is a gangster. ?" Zhu Xixiao asked.
Wang Bai had no choice but to reply: "That's not true."
"Yin Zhengmao's fifty ships forced the Hongmao Fan to leave Haojing. Did you expel it?" Zhu Xixiao asked again.
"That's not true."
"Did Yin Zhengmao lose his land?" Zhu Xixiao asked with a frown.
“That’s not the case.”
Zhu Xixiao said with emotion: "The barbarians in eastern Guangdong are like gangrene on the back; the Japanese slaves in Australia are like tigers with wings!"
"This year, Panyu has sent people to Beijing. , everyone said that the barbarians in Macao were becoming more and more unruly, hiding Japanese slaves, black people and desperadoes in Macao, disobeying the laws of the Han Palace, and endangering the countryside. "
"Panyu people are running around, please. The imperial court expelled all the Tibetan people from Macao and returned me the land of Haojing. You two gave me five hundred taels of silver a year to directly pacify the Japanese invaders in Guangdong and Guangxi. How much effort was wasted? "
The Japanese invaders in Guangzhou are worse than those in Fujian? The Japanese troubles in Zhejiang and Zhejiang are even more complicated. The complexity lies in the fact that the Xiaofo Langji people, known as the Macao Red-haired Fanyi, hide Japanese pirates, black fans, and desperadoes.
Yin Zhengmao was indeed greedy when he was in Guangzhou, trying to suppress Japanese invaders. Everyone knew that even Zhang Juzheng wrote three times to ask Yin Zhengmao to be less greedy. He was greedy so much that Zhang Juzheng came to protect Yin Zhengmao. They are all slightly lacking in confidence.
Only then did Yin Zhengmao agree to raise taxes on the little Franji people to support the royal family. That's a little less greedy.
Zhu Xixiao continued to interrogate Wang Bai and Huang Qing. These two people sold the land for five hundred taels a year, even if they sold more!
"The Hong Mao Fans are the obedient citizens of the Chinese Empire!" Wang Bai made his final defense. People in Guangdong and Guangxi called the little Folangji people the obedient citizens of the Chinese Emperor.
Zhu Xixiao took out another piece of documentary evidence, which was a navigation note, which was seized by Yin Zhengmao after Yin Zhengmao drove the Xiao Fo Langji who was entrenched in Haojing into the sea.
During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, Xiaofo Langji’s envoys Huo Zhe Yasan and Tomei Piles were in the capital. There were still generals in the court who could understand this navigational diary.
Zhu Xixiao said: "The notes have repeatedly mentioned that all the honor and dignity of the great and powerful Portugal have been trampled unscrupulously by the weak and bold Qin people. The dignity of Portugal, which must be safeguarded by conquests and armies, has been trampled in China." Trampled in the soil, once the military strength allows, it will be a matter of time to regain dignity."
"From the notes written by Hao Jingqihuo, Xiao Fo Langji has no intention of being submissive. Your rhetoric of being a submissive citizen of the Celestial Empire is untenable.”
Zhu Xixiao was talking about translations. There are many such notes, such as letters from missionaries to the Western Holy See and Emperor Xiaofolangji. Here, he wrote:
[All of us, His Majesty’s slaves and subjects, are quite convinced that when you are on the throne, China will be subordinate to Your Majesty and Christianity will spread in this region. and exalted, His Majesty's realm will expand, all within a short period of time. ]
Even Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, who talks about Rouyuan people all day long, can no longer say the words Rouyuan people after seeing these notes and contents.
Now Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, talks about "barbarians with wolf-like faces and beast-like hearts, fearing power but not virtue" all day long.
Wan Shihe can’t wait to increase the tax on Dafo Langji to 20% instead of the previous 6%!
"The two of you are responsible for the loss of your land. You cannot escape the responsibility for harboring the bandits and Japanese invaders. The evidence is conclusive. According to the national law, the sentence will be executed. If you want to complain about injustice as soon as possible, you will not wait until the expiration date." Zhu Xixiao The causes and consequences of this case were ascertained, and Beizhen Fusi's opinions were also drawn up.
Loss of land must be beheaded.
After the trial of the case, Zhu Yijun stood up, walked to the front hall with his hands in his hands, bowed slightly to Zhu Xixiao and said, "Thank you for your handsomeness."
"I am ashamed of myself. I am ashamed of myself." Zhu Xixiao hurriedly returned the gift. The reason why the little emperor was so polite was because Zhu Xixiao was the little emperor's martial arts teacher.
When have warriors ever been so respected? Zhu Xixiao was under great pressure every time.
Zhu Yijun left the Yamen of Fusi, Beizhen, and Xu Fan also went to Jizhou.
Fifteen days later, Zhu Yijun went to Huangji Gate to be imprisoned, and Gu Zhangzhi, Wang Bai, and Huang Qing were beheaded.
The executioner took out a bone pry knife and inserted it into the spine, breaking the spine with a click. Then he raised the knife and dropped it. Three heads were chopped off and rolled far away.
After the news that Gu Zhangzhi was beheaded and the entire Gu family was exiled came back to Nanya, the ground of Nanya immediately showed two different winds.
The first force is that the Gu family is to blame, and the second force is that the Gu family and Fang Xiaoru are equally unjust!
The two forces of public opinion were intertwined and became more and more intense, and the speed at which Nanya Quanhao returned the crossbows immediately became much faster.
If you don't hand it over, the imperial court will really kill people and raid your homes. After the raids, you will be exiled. All the Gu family's fields were used by Yu Dayou for farming and building a water division.
Some people seemed to have made up their mind not to hand back the crossbows. The newly arrived Yingtian Prefecture Yin Li Le set up a banquet on the ground of Nanya and sent invitations door to door.
When a local official takes office, he naturally has to meet with the local powerful people. Usually, it's all good to you and me, and everyone is happy and happy. But this time Li Le hosted a banquet, which was clearly a Hongmen Banquet.
Not coming? Tomorrow Tiqi will invade the house.
Li Le said the words of Che Luo again earnestly.
Wang Daokun, the governor of Songjiang, promoted the broad blueprint of the Songjiang Shipping Department.
Now that you are following the imperial court, if you are willing to trade fields for ships, and if you are willing to participate in the grand opening of the sea, you will definitely have a bright future! If you refuse to live or die, you can't blame the court for being ruthless. When the waves wash away the sand, someone will always die on the dry shore.
Divide, divide, divide, Zhang Juzheng's work in the country is to divide and transform, and defeat them one by one.
Soon, the powerful people on the ground in Nanya honestly returned all the crossbows, and the Songjiang Prefecture Shipping Department was established under the spotlight.
Then I immediately fell into embarrassment and lost my boat.
The shipbuilding industry is an extremely complex production chain. It cannot be achieved overnight, nor can the industry chain be completely opened up with a single order from the imperial court. Within three to five months, three-masted ships were everywhere in Songjiang Prefecture.
The shipbuilding industry was once the pillar industry of Nanya, but that was during the Yongle period, and it was very difficult to revive it again.
And one person came into everyone's sight, Francisco Sander, the Governor of Luzon.
The Dafo Langji people have a shipyard in Luzon, which can build four-masted sailing ships and three-masted sailing ships. Francisco, the governor of Luzon, is willing to sell large and small sailing ships to supply the needs of the Ming Dynasty. The price is very expensive , even if you work in the fields for several lifetimes, you may not be able to buy one.
But Dafo Langji’s sailboat is really useful.
