Chapter 187 The bastards in the wishing pool all shook their heads
Wang Chonggu hummed a ditty and sang, happily telling Wang Qian about the process of the verbal fight between himself and the third lady. Wang Chonggu had a lot of quarrels with the third lady over money. Fierce, every clause was based on the perspective of seeking his own benefit. He would not give in to any clause that was not beneficial to Ming Dynasty, and he would pursue the clauses that were beneficial to himself.
His verbal sparring was a real quarrel, which was completely different from the verbal sparring between Wu Dui and Sanniangzi.
Wang Chonggu said with a smile: "Son, we are like this inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, from ancient times to the present. We are always looking forward to the emergence of a Ming leader, and we are always looking forward to the understanding of national affairs. There is someone who can pull everyone out of that mediocre, hopeless and meaningless life, solve all real problems once and for all, and from now on, they will never have to face the real sufferings of life again."
" Oh, Zhang Juzheng teaches well, your Majesty learns better, and you are truly rewarded for your merits. This life is very beautiful."
Wang Qian shook his head with confidence and said: "No one can take others away. Pull yourself out of the quagmire and solve all problems so that there will be no more suffering in life. Based on the theory of contradictions, this is impossible, because when one contradiction is resolved, a new contradiction will arise.”
"Only the succession of contradictions can the infinite principle of all things continue to develop. The development of things is not the thing itself."
"If you place all your hopes on one person, it is better to make a wish. The bastard in the wishing pool heard Such an outrageous request would make him shake his head."
Wang Chonggu was stunned for a long time before saying: "I now believe that you will be able to pass the Jinshi examination. If you are willing to read the theory of contradictions, and are willing to understand, being a father is. I'm very happy that even if you fail the Jinshi exam, you can settle yourself well and not be like Zhang Siwei."
Wang Qian continued: "Zhang Juzheng is a human being, not a god. In order to reverse the decline of the world by himself, in the court there were Tan Lun and Wang Guoguang as the right-hand men of the new law; in the local areas there were Yin Zhengmao, Zhang Xueyan, Ling Yunyi, Pan Jixun, Pang Shangpeng, etc.; in the army there were Qi Jiguang, Li Chengliang, Yu Dayou , Zhang Yuanxun, Liu Xian and others.”
"Behind these people is the common expectation of the people of the Ming Dynasty who want to live and work in peace and contentment. Even if Qi Jiguang cannot spread, he still stands in the north. This is not only Zhang Juzheng's protection, but also the expectations of the people."
"It was all these people who gathered together and worked hard together to hold it up."
"And Zhang Juzheng really found, or even tolerated, and allowed them to play their role."< br>
“Even including my father.”
“Ah, does this and this also include me? Hahaha.” Wang Chonggu smiled very happily. He was indeed based on the perspective of interests. He set out, but what he did was indeed beneficial to the country. Then his name would not be on the list of meritorious officials, but his name would definitely not be on the list of traitors.
Wang Chonggu shook his head and said: "Son, have you also read Xinxue, especially He Xinyin's rhetoric? After looking at it, you can't believe it. He doesn't believe it himself, and he just shakes his lips. He is lying and lying around. "
"What he said is right, it is indeed what the people expect, but just like a war, the common people cannot decide the beginning and end of the war, and the common people cannot determine the outcome of the country. Ups and downs, their expectations are untouchable for meat eaters, because the general expectation of the people is to let the meat eaters cut their meat, or to be more clear, to let the meat eaters have a conscience."
"Is it possible?"
Wang Qian was silent for a long time and said: "It is indeed unlikely."
Wang Chonggu sighed and said: "Why am I willing to do things? I dare not disobey the Holy Spirit's edict. ? Because evil people need to be punished by evil people. If you want to do something but don't want to be a evil person, you can't do it. Zhang Juzheng is a evil person who has done all kinds of bad things, and your majesty is an evil person who is better than his master."
"Perhaps the world lacks such a wicked person."
As a minister of the Ministry of Justice, Wang Chonggu did not believe in the law, and even thought it was ridiculous; as a person who worked for the interests of the Ming Dynasty, he did not believe in discussing the matter and analyzing specific matters in detail; as a court official, the empire's decision-making One of those who firmly believes that evil people need to be punished by evil people.
In other words, what Wang Chonggu firmly believes is that the weapon of criticism is not as direct as the criticism of the weapon. This is his practice. It is not that the pain from Zhang Juzheng's combination of punches penetrates deep into the bones. He It’s no different from Zhang Siwei.
Wang Chonggu talked about this confrontation with Sanniangzi. He said very accurately: "Sanniangzi advocates a long-term stable supply price, while I advocate a long-term, stable and rapid growth. The supply quantity is in line with His Majesty’s idea of eating sheep and weakening the mobility of the grassland people, and also in line with the need for the official factory to continue to expand and grow.”
“Of course our family can also make money.”
“So, I designed a set of supply prices, based on the three-year average supply quantity. For example, the average supply volume from Wanli 2nd to Wanli 4th was 12,000 bags of wool, then in the next three years In the year, 12,000 bags are used as the basis, and if it exceeds 12,000 bags, for every 10% excess, the wool purchase price increases by 1%. This cycle continues, and the next three years will be used as the basis and average of the previous three years. Price is the benchmark. For this price increase, the grassland people will use their own initiative."
Wang Qian looked around and whispered: "Father seems not to have finished."
Wang Chonggu. He continued: "Yes, if the supply is lower than the benchmark, there will be a price penalty. If it is 10% lower than the benchmark, the price will be reduced by 10%. This is not equivalent to the increasing price increase, but Sanniangzi agreed. The reason why she agreed , because she promised to herd more sheep and raise fewer horses. For Sanniangzi, or Sanniangzi’s fans, what they are most worried about is that Daming suddenly stopped buying it.”
“This is it. In other words, the place of raw material supply has a huge disadvantage without commodity advantages. Without commodity advantages, it can only fall into infinite passivity.”
“I take money making as an example. In Yunnan, they even stood up to confront Zhang Juzheng and impeached him to benefit their hometown! Yunnan is the source of raw materials. They do not have the commodity advantage of copper coins. What is Yunnan most worried about? Buy overseas.”
"This is pragmatic, and it is also a concrete manifestation of being able to grasp the main contradiction."
Wang Qian sighed and said: "It is obviously a pragmatic approach, but it has been criticized. One said it was harsh on the distant people, and the other said the father It’s just profit, alas.”
“I couldn’t help but be delighted by the compliment,” Wang Chonggu said without caring.
"Huh? Praise?" Wang Qian asked dully.
Wang Chonggu said with a smile: "Yes, you said there is no such person who can save others from fire and water, but for the mud of Ming Dynasty, isn't Zhang Juzheng the one who made a wish in the Bastard Pond? , all the bastards shook their heads and said that there are no outstanding people? I told your Majesty, it is better to have rules than no rules. "
"This is the reason. The criterion for judging right and wrong should be to safeguard the Ming Dynasty. The greatest interests of the people are the standard, not the chatter of the literati. Are they right? If they are so capable, why don’t they try to influence the Antan, the Tuman, the Jiannu, and the Hongmaofan?”
"Father is brilliant." Wang Qian said sincerely.
It turns out that this is the case. No wonder Wang Chonggu worked so hard. Before Wang Qian could understand the theory of contradiction, Wang Chonggu had already started reading the theory of public and private affairs.
Zhu Yijun saw Wang Chonggu’s step-wool method and said that scholars have dirty minds.
Wang Chonggu introduced negative numbers in pricing and measurement, and used system design to put the grassland into a dilemma. If he wanted to increase the price of wool, he had to supply more wool, and each cycle was more expensive than the previous cycle. A lot, and a lot more is needed to achieve a price increase.
In this system design, the price reduction of wool is extremely drastic. Once a cycle is reduced by 10% compared with the past cycle, the price reduction will destroy the efforts of the past cycle.
This has resulted in the fact that more sheep must be raised on the grassland. The grassland is very barren, and the total amount of water and grass is fixed or even gradually decreasing.
In Sanniangzi’s view, Wang Chonggu is very vicious, but she must accept that Daming is willing to give a long-term stable price. This is also a gift to the grassland. Stability is to the grassland. A thing that doesn't exist.
The Yuan Dynasty was a dynasty established by the Hu people, so there must have been no border troubles. The Han princes had to go to the grassland to add Ding on the order of the emperor every year.
For grasslands, stability is a luxury, and rules are even more out of reach.
Da Ming is willing to give a stable price, which is acceptable to Sanniang. At worst, she will go out to grab wool.
The current discussion of public and private affairs has never been able to move forward, which has prevented it from being published in the world. The main reason is that Zhang Juzheng has always refused to separate the king and his father, the king and the king. He can only separate these opposites. The concept of unity can only be integrated into one body if it is further negated.
The theory that Zhu Yijun most hopes Zhang Juzheng can get is that the king represents the majority of the people in the world and performs duties on behalf of the people, and then local officials perform their duties on behalf of the local people.
But this will raise a more terrifying question. If you cannot represent the majority of the people and cannot perform your duties on behalf of the people, then do you need to change a king? So what are the criteria for judging?
Power, the supreme power in the world is so tempting, enough to make everyone in the world take risks for it.
Of course, the exception was Queen Mother Li. After all, he was her own son, and he was very promising, so she just let him go.
Zhang Juzheng was too aware of the little emperor’s intentions, so Zhang Juzheng just ignored it and didn’t answer at all, so that the king’s father, the king’s country and the king’s master were still one, and the king always maintained a sacrosanct concept. middle.
This is based on practice. The productivity or social development of the Ming Dynasty has not yet reached that time. Therefore, Zhang Juzheng’s public and private theory is still an incomplete concept, but it is of great significance for the present and the future. For decades of Ming Dynasty, it was completely enough.
Because the definition of public and private is already deviant enough to guide production and life for decades, and there is absolutely no need to go further.
Zhu Yijun can only express regret for this.
Da Si Kou Wang Chonggu was responsible for supervising the construction of the Ming Dynasty Palace. Before His Majesty left Beijing, Wang Chonggu and Minister of Industry Guo Chaobin first allowed His Majesty to attend the foundation laying ceremony.
This foundation laying ceremony is when the emperor appears, two firecrackers are set off, and then the emperor shovels the soil twice with a shovel, which means that the emperor laid the foundation for this house, which is just a formality.
But this formality is not that formal, because the emperor asked Guo Chaobin and Wang Chonggu to talk about how to realize their requirements.
“We plan to use a steel-concrete structure for the building on the central axis.” Guo Chaobin stood in front of the foundation and explained his construction plan to the Ming Emperor and several courtiers. This time the construction period was tight, the tasks were heavy, and the requirements were It is high and highly anticipated by the courtiers.
The courtiers are already furious. If the little emperor gets married on a construction site, all the courtiers in the Ming Dynasty will just find a rope to hang themselves up!
"Wait a minute? What structure?" Zhu Yijun signaled Guo Chaobin to pause and asked uncertainly.
"Steel-concrete, steel-steel, concrete-concrete." Guo Chaobin said very accurately: "We found materials that meet His Majesty's requirements. We can't burn fires or tinker all day long. We will use this With a layer of wood on the surface, the regulations are exactly the same as in the past, but it cannot be burned at all."
Of course Zhu Yijun understood the meaning of this word. He originally thought that Wang Chonggu and Guo Chaobin would use stones. After all, stones. The processing technology is very mature, but now Guo Chaobin is talking about a cement and steel structure.
"What is concrete?" Zhu Yijun asked again.
"Lime, all lime is refined by fire. After it is converted into quality, it will never be damaged when put into water. Billions of boat jigs and billions of walls must be used to fill the ships. You can also set piles on the seams of the boards. The bottom of the ponds at the upper and lower fourth docks of Longjiang Shipyard will be smeared with this kind of lime first, and water will be added to cement the gravel to build the bottom." Guo Chaobin brought a condensed lump and handed it to him. Your Majesty.
The reason for not using stone is very simple. The Ministry of Rites cannot allow the use of stone because it is used more in mausoleums in the Great Akashi House. Then steel mixing is a good compromise plan, which not only satisfies His Majesty's requirements for a new home, but also satisfies the requirements of the Ministry of Rites for etiquette.
Zhu Yijun was very convinced after reading it, this is cement, hydraulic lime.
Guo Chaobin explained the process in detail. The reason why lime and clay are used is to increase stability, and steel is aggregate. Only cement is afraid of collapse, but with steel, it will be much better. .
This is Wang Chonggu's archaeological research. He found the building materials for the foundation from the chronicles of Longjiang Shipyard to build a new palace for His Majesty, and put a layer of wood on it, which perfectly matched His Majesty's appearance. needs.
"Let's do it, let's do it." Zhu Yijun agreed to use this building material. He was very satisfied. Mainly because of the several fires in the Ming Dynasty Palace, which made the emperor very passive. Zhu Yijun actually planned to build a stone palace. As a result, Wang Chonggu and Guo Chaobin A big job came out.
Zhu Yijun then realized that it was a common practice in this era to build foundations with hydraulic lime when constructing shipyards, especially shipyards.
On this basis, the Ministry of Industry added steel frames.
Zhu Yijun got into the car, looked at Zhang Juzheng and said, "Sir, please ride with me."
"I don't dare." Zhang Juzheng refused to get in the car. Yes, this means that the king is a saint and his ministers are virtuous, but His Majesty still has not personally governed the government, so getting on the car is a transgression.
Zhang Juzheng was a very polite courtier. He found that the little emperor always had a bad taste. He thought he was not busy enough and made trouble for him all day long.
Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said with waning interest: "Red tape."
The Ming Emperor is out of Beijing!
Since the Jiajing Southern Tour was burned down, how many years has the Ming Emperor not left Beijing? But now, the little emperor has left the capital, and his destination is Tianjin Wei.
The ship carrying grain by sea was almost here. The reason why Zhu Yijun went to check it out in person was mainly to see with his own eyes whether this five-masted ocean crossing ship was really as majestic as the Songjiangfu Shipyard said.
This trip to Tianjin Wei has gone through a long period of court discussion. The Chu party headed by Zhang Juzheng highly approved of it, while Ge Shouli and the Jin party fiercely opposed it. The two sides have been fighting for three months, and finally Zhang Juzheng Victory, the little emperor's trip ended smoothly.
According to Ge Shouli, it was the incompetence of the ministers who made the emperor travel so hard, while Zhang Juzheng was one of the high-ranking people, just trustworthy. If His Majesty has never even seen a sea ship, how can he understand the hardships of sea trade? , A thousand words and ten thousand words are not as good as seeing them with your own eyes.
Zhang Juzheng is putting more pressure on the Hai Cao matter, and Ge Shouli has the power of authority over the Lord. It is worth noting that Ge Shouli did not say no, he can’t watch it, but said that he would wait until the emperor’s wedding. He thought that His Majesty was young now and would inevitably become unaccustomed to the climate and contract the plague when he went out. How could he get it?
Ge Shouli’s reasons are very good and are recognized by most of the courtiers. Yes, in Ge Shouli’s view, the little emperor is like a porcelain bottle that breaks when touched. This is how people in this era are. Fragile, you may travel far away, come into contact with different flora, and you will die of acclimatization. Especially now that the emperor has not been able to get married and has no children. If you get sick when you go out, big things will happen to you in the Ming Dynasty.
These two opinions formed a fierce conflict in the court. Finally, after the little emperor performed a 65-pound hard bow and hit all ten arrows, Ge Shouli was shocked to discover that the emperor was not a porcelain vase, but a steel man. Mixed concrete blocks!
Fourteen years old, with a 65-pound strong bow, and all ten arrows hit. What a level of skill this is, and it is weaker than Li Rusong.
Ge Shouli's worry was not unreasonable. The little emperor fell ill as soon as he arrived at Tianjin Wei. However, the next day the little emperor appeared in full swing in front of everyone and attended the ceremony of the grain arriving in Hong Kong.
Because the grain ship moved faster, it was one day earlier than expected. The grain ship had arrived at the port, but it had not been unloaded for the ceremony. One day more and one day less. The Nanya water transport engineer thought it was not important. This was just a once-in-a-lifetime event. The trial voyage, and the support from the emperor, is so important!
His Majesty is willing to move to Tianjin to take a look, which is the greatest support for the policy of shipping grain.
The vocal music began to play, and lights and colors were everywhere. The young hero Zhu Yijun stood on the trestle, symbolically checked the seals on the next road, and then pushed the grain cart to complete the task. The whole ceremony.
Zhu Yijun watched the grain boxes being unloaded from the ship one by one, and then piled up in the warehouse at the port. After being inspected and signed and sealed, they would be shipped to Tongzhou.
"Yu Shuai, is this ship powerful?" Zhu Yijun asked Yu Dayou, who was gray-haired and older than the first year of Wanli.
Yu Dayou stroked his goatee and said with a smile: "Amazing! What's great about it is that it only uses wind power to move. What's great about it is that it has a continuous artillery deck. If it is fully loaded, it can have fifty-four guns. What’s great is that it can defend the Daming Sea.”
“The Daming Songjiang Shipyard has built a total of twelve such ocean-going ships. After summing up experience and lessons, it will design new ocean-going ships. The design of the ship and artillery is unreasonable in some places, such as the storage of gunpowder and the design of the artillery positions. The ship's artillery fire does not have gratings, which causes water to enter the artillery when it rains. It is strange to say that such an obvious mistake , no one thought of it before using it. "
"It's normal," Zhu Yijun said with a smile. This is the case with projects. There will always be problems that cannot be considered and need to be repaired and designed. vessel.
“General Manager Guo Rulin and Zhao Shizhen gave His Majesty a gift that was more than two feet long, and asked Your Majesty to accept it.” Yu Dayou asked someone to bring a small gift, a figure of an ocean crossing ship. Well, I always like these playthings. As long as this memory can be left in His Majesty's heart, it will be a part of His grace in the future.
Zhu Yijun likes this kind of souvenir very much, the more the merrier.
"Your Majesty, I am old. After completing this errand, I plan to become an official." Yu Dayou is already gray-haired, which is why he escorted the grain back to Beijing this time. He is not Qi Jiguang and is only in his forties. , he is already seventy-three years old. He has thought about it several times, and this time he finally said it.
Songjiang Navy has begun to take shape. His carefully selected deputy commander Chen Lin can now take charge of his own affairs. It is time.
"There is no need to become an official. How about staying in Beijing as the right governor of the former military governor's office and answering my questions?" Zhu Yijun agreed to Yu Dayou's request to no longer lead the army. Yu Dayou was born in the 16th year of Hongzhi. This At his age, it is indeed inappropriate to lead the Nanya Navy. Hard work is one thing, energy is another.
When Yu Dayou heard His Majesty's treatment, he was stunned and asked: "This is not in line with the ancestral system..."
Since he can't do anything, he can just get some treatment and go home. But judging from His Majesty's intention, he intends to let Yu Dayou continue. Use the remaining heat.
Zhu Yijun said in a low voice: "Yu Shuai, my house has been attacked. Qi Shuai will not be able to return to Daning Guard for a short time. I can't have an attack yet. Look at these officials, bullying me every day. Yu Shuai is in charge of the capital, how dare Xiao An be so arrogant!"
After hearing this, Yu Dayou found that his majesty's reasons were sufficient and reasonable. At least he would not have no one available to his majesty when he was in the capital.
"I obey the decree." Yu Dayou agreed without any objection. He is not suitable to lead the navy, but he can lead the army. He does not require any military exploits. As long as he is here, he has a deterrent effect, because he His name is Yu Dayou.
Zhu Yijun boarded the Ming Dynasty's first ocean-going ship. When he saw new things, he asked about them. He asked about the mast, the waterline, the cargo hold, the gun deck, etc. This There are already some steel parts on the ship. In the connection parts and watertight compartments, steel is better than wood.
During this voyage, two water seepage incidents occurred. Because of the existence of watertight cabins, not a single ship of Ming Dynasty was lost.
When the little emperor welcomed the grain into the capital and celebrated the success of the Ming Dynasty's shipping grain, Sanniangzi and her group came to Daningwei, and then to Taotu Mountain, where they saw a mountain-sized white earth After a long silence, Ming Dynasty indeed had a stable supply of white soil.
Then Sanniang Zi came to the Qinglong Fort at the forefront.
Qi Jiguang is here. Sanniangzi really admires Daning Guard's defense, it is indeed very powerful.
"The Ming Dynasty is difficult to defeat from the outside, but it is completely rotten on the inside." Sanniangzi looked at the majesty of the Ming Dynasty's capital camp and said.
"Do you mean that I should vote for another Ming Lord? Who? You?" Qi Jiguang smiled, his tone was very gentle, but with a very clear disdain.
Sanniangzi said slightly helplessly: "Before I entered the capital, Anda Khan asked me to try to persuade Qi Shuai to defect. I told him that he was daydreaming, but he still didn't believe it and insisted on scolding me. Anda Only Khan will be satisfied."
It was Anda Khan's idea to persuade Qi Jiguang to defect at all costs. From the beginning, the third lady thought it was a bad idea. People like Qi Jiguang, let alone the little emperor, were given titles and favors. , even if the little emperor treats him poorly, Qi Jiguang will not switch sides.
When Qi Jiguang was in the border town of Jizhou, he could even endure the humiliation of hundreds of households in the capital. Qi Jiguang's loyalty was to the Ming Dynasty, not to any one person.
This kind of person would try every means to kill him, or take advantage of the strife within the Ming Dynasty to bring him down. There are some tricks. It would be too difficult to persuade Qi Jiguang to switch sides.
The third lady doesn't mind at all costs. She asked herself how beautiful she is. It would be her honor to give birth to a child for Qi Shuai. However, Qi Jiguang's family has a fierce wife. This allusion of asking his wife to parade even the prairie people Everyone knows that this allusion is mainly used to ridicule Qi Jiguang's fear of guilt and reduce his fear of facing Qi Jiguang.
This kind of self-comfort through unimportant things is extremely common and is not unique to the Central Plains people.
The existence of Qi Jiguang is like a stick in the throat. To plunder the capital, it is inevitable to break through Gubeikou and Xifengkou in Jizhou. However, Qi Jiguang's strong army in the north is gathered in the Yongping and Shanhaiguan areas of Jizhou. How could Beilu join the bandits?
Sanniangzi said curiously: "I leave from Qinglong Fort and will go to Quanning Guard. Qi Shuai guess, will the six groups on the left and right wings of our grassland join forces again to attack the Ming Dynasty?"
"Is there such a good thing?" Qi Jiguang seemed to see the title of the Duke beckoning to him. It is not my intention to be granted the title of Marquis. I hope Hai Boping is just Qi Jiguang's emotion based on the current situation. Qi Jiguang is still happy to be granted the title of Duke. Fight for it!
Sanniang was choked. Qi Jiguang said this from the perspective of strength. If Sanniang is not convinced, she has to be convinced. If she can't beat him, she really can't beat him.
If they could survive the fight, would the prairie people do business quietly and in a well-behaved manner?
"I went to persuade the Tuman Khan to surrender. Not only are there grassland people on the left who are willing to make peace with the Ming Dynasty, but there are also people on the right. To use the most popular saying in the Central Plains recently, contradictions are widespread." Sanniang got on her horse and said goodbye. He took Qi Jiguang and headed towards Quaning Guard with dozens of horses.
Qi Jiguang was thinking about whether to catch up and kill Sanniangzi, but she actually read the contradiction and said, is that okay?
Qi Jiguang looked at Sanniang’s back and took out a letter from his arms. This was a handwritten letter from His Majesty. The content of the letter was, I am doing well in the capital and can drive sixty-five pounds. Qiang Gong, everything was going well in the capital. Although Wang Chonggu and Sanniangzi quarreled fiercely, they still finalized the charter of the wool business. The shipping of grain was progressing smoothly, and there were no shipwrecks. The invention of the grain tank allowed the development of grain ships. The sinking was further reduced.
Everything is fine in the Ming Dynasty. Don't be impatient on the front line, don't be greedy for success and rush forward. Follow the predetermined plan and completely secure Daning Guard.
What a fart!
My whole house has been set on fire, what a fart!
Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! !
