Chapter 205 "Labor Illustration" Zhu Zhongxing

Wang Chonggu's money was not sent to the Quanchu Guild Hall and was rejected by Zhang Juzheng.

But if Wang Chonggu goes in, there is still hope for salvation. Zhang Juzheng thinks that this person can be saved, so he will let him in. If he thinks that he is not saved, he will not even open the door.

Zhang Siwei came to ask for help many times, and all Chu guild halls were decorated.

"What is the great Sikou worried about?" Zhang Juzheng motioned for Wang Chonggu to take a seat and said somewhat strangely: "In the third year of Wanli, I was scolded for more than 5,000 memorials. Aren't I still the chief minister? Your Majesty. Pay attention to practice and follow the rules. Only those who can get things done will use it. Those who can't get things done will not use it. "

"Da Sikou did it so well. He saved himself. , you still need me to rescue you?”

As a courtier who can directly meet His Majesty, does Wang Chonggu need others to rescue him? He had already saved himself. The woolen official factory was running very well, and all the money used to expand the army in the capital was directly used. This was a life-saving trump card.

"We are all people who came here during the Jiajing period. The talk of these officials is really scary." Wang Chonggu is actually not too afraid of being slandered, nor is he afraid of fame after his death. He is happy with it. , still care about these?

What he was afraid of was that if the emperor believed this dirty water, he would be in big trouble.

If ten thousand people tell a lie, it becomes true.

Fang Xiaoru's case of the Ten Clans was a fake case at first sight. In the eyes of people who didn't know better, wasn't it the ironclad evidence of Emperor Wen's tyranny? Was there a case of empty printing or not? How big was the scale of the case? How violent was it? It was said that tens of thousands of people were killed. Who were these tens of thousands of people? Where is the name?

Whoever can define history can define an era.

"Your Majesty is actually very simple and kind. As long as it is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, your Majesty will do it, and if it is not beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, your Majesty will remove it." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Don't worry too much. ”

Zhang Juzheng told a good joke, Your Majesty is kind.

Compared to Tan Lun who pursues speed and efficiency, His Majesty is indeed kind.

"I have a memorial here, which I plan to submit tomorrow. Let Yuan Fu take a look first." Wang Chonggu took out a memorial. In fact, he was testing to see if Zhang Juzheng was angry. Before, he He bypassed the cabinet and presented himself to His Majesty.

After reading the memorial, Zhang Juzheng was silent for a long time and said: "Da Sikou's memorial is extremely well written, and it can be used as a good policy for the new policy. It is excellent, excellent."

" "Shou Fu, please write the memorial together?" Wang Chonggu asked again.

"Da Sikou can just submit the performance himself. This is the credit of Da Sikou, not mine. How dare I take the credit?" Zhang Juzheng's face was still gentle and his smile was still very cheerful.

In Wang Chonggu's view, he was in danger and was about to be in bad luck. He discovered many of his crimes, and the Woolen Official Factory was his life-saving straw.

First of all, it was the crime of transgression. His daughter's imperial edict was written in gold, which was a big taboo. He lost the crown prince Shaobao because of this, although at the end of the third year of Wanli, his majesty gave him the official position again.

The second is the crime of greed. In the fifth and sixth years of Longqing and the first year of Wanli, he embezzled a lot of horse-valued silver and silver from the construction of the Great Wall, especially to prevent the imperial court from visiting the border.

Then there is the crime of great treason. Gao Gong, Yang Bo, and Wang Chonggu are the joint creators of the Jin Party monster, and Zhang Siwei is the extremist faction born under the background of this huge monster. The ritual and music conquests came from the princes Yes, they are all sinners.

Then there is the crime of conspiracy, to support the invaders to respect themselves, to relax their guard against the enemy, and to collude with the northwest Anda Khan, and finally complete the tribute of Anda, and use the tribute market to make great personal gains and use Anda Khan Force the court.

As for these four crimes, each one is a capital crime that cannot be pardoned.

But in Zhang Juzheng’s view, this must be seen in stages.

If in the first year of Wanli, Wang Chonggu should have died. After the first year of Wanli, Wang Chonggu took out all his greedy money, blocked the Great Wall and at the same time resettled 190,000 people. It was excellent. As for raising the bandits with self-respect and taking precautions against the enemy, after the peace negotiation, Anda Khan did not join the bandits. These crimes had already been forgiven by His Majesty when Wang Chonggu was able to settle down the herdsmen well.

Zhang Juzheng actually regarded Wang Chonggu as an assistant minister. After all, he had been preparing to let Wang Chonggu join the cabinet since the end of the second year of Wanli, and he has been preparing until now.

"The chief minister has to enter the cabinet to handle this matter." Zhang Juzheng pushed the memorial back. This was no longer something that the Minister of Punishment could handle.

"It's Yuan Fu's call. Let Yuan Fu handle it. I have a woolen factory here, and there is a palace over there." Wang Chonggu pushed the memorial back again.

Zhang Juzheng pushed the memorial back again, shook his head and said: "How can I be greedy for such a huge credit?"

Wang Chonggu handed over the memorial again and said: "If this matter is done, I will be scolded by the Confucian scholars. , if it doesn’t work well, if your majesty wants to be beheaded in public, it’s better for Yuan Fu to do it.”

After this push and pull, Wang Chonggu’s memorial returned to his own hands, and he asked Zhang Juzheng to save him. , not only came with silver, but also the New Deal, a huge contribution, but in the end he was pushed out, and Wang Chonggu had to do it himself.

Wang Chonggu has been writing this memorial for more than a year. He does not want to use his subjective initiative to do things. He just wants to take shelter from his chief assistant and continue to make his own money.

As a result, Zhang Juzheng thought that his contribution was too great and could not be greedy for it, so he asked Wang Chonggu to supervise the matter himself.

This memorial written by Wang Chonggu is an outline and summary. It does not talk about a specific thing, but based on his own practice, it contributes to the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty.

The core issue of his memorial is to use the official factory system to resettle the refugees all over the world.

The small people of the Ming Dynasty were trapped in the annexation, many people fled from the guard posts, and more and more tenants lost their land. In Nanya, eunuchs became a fashion. Many self-eunuchs defected to big families, just to survive. , because I really can’t live anymore.

The official factory can resettle some of the refugees, select qualified skilled craftsmen from them, and maintain the profit scale of the official factory; and the official factory supervises the construction of the Great Wall, the palace, dredging rivers, leveling post roads, and restoring Farming of official fields behind the fields, etc., can solve the problem of refugees being unable to make a living.

The imperial court collected so much tax and government factories made profits, how could it be spent? Establish a large number of official factories, build roads, build bridges, reclaim wasteland, open borders, and strengthen troops.

This is the core essence of Wang Chonggu's book "The World Is Trapped in Mergers and Bailouts to Reinforce Rogues".

Rogues, those who have no house or land are called vagabonds, and those who are idle and idle are called gangsters.

Wang Chonggu’s memorial summarizes the vicious cases that broke out some time ago. When these ordinary people were being exploited, how could they not know that they were being exploited?

But they have nothing left. Are they worried about where their food will be tomorrow or the punishment for being caught in the future? Which of these two issues is more important and urgent for these wandering people? ?

But Zhang Juzheng asked Wang Chonggu to do it himself.

Wang Chonggu has rich experience in resettling refugees. He has resettled 190,000 people in the northwest. These acres of reclaimed land and production have made the northwest more and more stable, thanks to the increase in the total amount of food. .

The reason why Zhang Juzheng did not do it is also very simple. The timing was wrong and the struggle was not intense enough. Only after a more intense struggle can we make peace.

Wang Chonggu will also re-examine his memorials.

And Zhu Yijun was also in Baoqisi, Xiyuan Baoqisi, a very complex and contradictory yamen. The contradiction was that it was the emperor's palace and also the yamen of the outer court.

This was the old Taoist monk's burning monastery. Now it has been renovated according to the regulations of the Quanchu Guild Hall. It is very livable.

The emperor himself lived in the palace, but outsiders often came and went. Xu Zhenming, the chief minister of Baoqi Division, was a foreign minister, and he and his agricultural bachelor were foreign ministers. Those old farmers who often came and went were also foreign ministers.

If you think this is an opportunity for the emperor, you are totally wrong. Baoqisi has two bridges and a palace wall, which is enough to separate the outer Yamen from the emperor's private residence.

Aside from losing the dignity of the emperor, there is no safety problem. If there were, the old Taoist priest would not live here for twenty-five years.

The little emperor is still young. It is hard to say whose dignity this is. Forcing the young emperor to live in Xiyuan, is it because the little emperor does not practice benevolence or because the courtiers forced the emperor to live in Xiyuan? urgent?

The gatekeepers are Zhu Yijun's followers, his twenty sparring partners, all wearing red helmets and wearing armor to guard the gate.

The courtiers asked the emperor to move to Yongshou Palace. Yongshou Palace had just been built recently and was magnificent. If Yongshou Palace was not suitable, they could also live in Cining Palace. After all, they were under the eyes of the Queen Mother, but the emperor still rejected them one by one. , the game ended with one sentence:

What should I do if the Yongshou Palace burns down again? King Lu was burned to death together with me when he was young. What should I do?

Emperor Jiajing was originally a side branch of the clan. Of the eight sons of Jiajing, only Emperor Longqing had descendants. Emperor Longqing had two children in total. Prince Zhu Yiliu of Lu was the de facto crown prince at the time. The elder brother and younger brother had to leave the clan. If you choose another one among them, if even King Lu is burned to death, who in the world will succeed him?

No one in the civil or military court could answer these two questions. They could only call Zhang Siwei a big fool.

The burning of the palace seems more and more stupid.

According to historical experience, it is impossible for the emperor to pursue matters like burning the palace, but now that the emperor is young, he must be pursued. When the young master is suspicious of the country, he must take a heavy blow for stability.

Zhu Yijun lived in Director Baoqi, and he also read in Wenchang Pavilion of Xiyuan every day.

The names of his study and Zhang Juzheng's study are the same. This is a political signal. Either the emperor will be eliminated, otherwise the emperor will continue to promote the New Deal in the same vein.

"This Qiu Jun is the first Jinshi in Qiongzhou, Hainan. He ranked first in the Jinshi examination in the fifth year of Jingtai. Because when he was injured, he finally ranked first in the second class." Zhu Yijun held up a volume of " "University Extensions and Supplements", looking through the list of authors.

Qiu Jun, Qiongzhou, Hainan, is a place with a serious lack of educational resources. During the two Song Dynasties, it was a place of exile. However, Qiu Jun was able to complete the examination first in such an educational environment, and then He is indeed a man of character when he does not worry about his own fame and honor.

Zhu Yijun took the "Twenty-one Volumes of the Supplement to the Extensions of the University" and read: "Wealth is born from heaven, produced from earth, and developed from people."

"The meaning of this sentence is , All the wealth in the world comes from the nature that is born and raised by the earth. It must pass through people to become wealth. Wealth is created by people, not generated out of thin air. "

" Your Majesty, Zhang Hong said after hearing this. , and quickly wrote it down. Since His Majesty spoke, he naturally read something that touched His Majesty deeply. If you don’t understand, write it down first.

Zhu Yijun also made an excerpt and continued: "From the above, Qiu Jun also said: Although the things in the world are born in heaven and earth, they must be funded by human power, and then they can be used for their purposes. Their bodies have different sizes. Fine and coarse, its skill is shallow and deep, and its price is as high as possible. "

"The meaning of this sentence is that everything in the world cannot be used without human power. It can only be used after going through the process of human power. The difference in size and fineness of the finished products is completely determined by the depth of the skill. If the skill is deep, the price will be expensive, and if the skill is shallow, the price will be cheap.”

"What is this skill?"

Zhu Yijun's doubts made Zhang Hong extremely confused. For such a profound question, His Majesty should ask Yuan Fu, not Zhang Hong, the eunuch of Baoqisi.

Zhang Hong was silent for a long time before saying: "According to what Qiu Jun said, skill is human power."

"Zhang Daban, look, you haven't read this book well enough. Qiu Jun has already mentioned manpower. If Qiu Jun's skill means human labor, then do we still need to use the concept of skill?" Zhu Yijun said, but he did not agree very much.

“Then I don’t know.” Zhang Hong said slightly confused.

What Your Majesty said makes sense. What is the connection between the price of goods and the price? It is already a very bold idea to link the price of goods with human labor.

At least at the moment, except for Qiu Jun, the Ming Dynasty's economic philosophy is the theory of supply and demand where things are rare and valuable. If the supply is small and the demand is large, the price will be expensive.

As for the connection between commodity prices and labor, and the connection between value and labor intensity and time, it was Wang Chonggu's high-temperature subsidies for the coolies who washed the wool that made Zhang Hong slightly aware of it.

But as Qiu Jun said, is skill really just labor?

"What exactly is this skill?" Zhu Yijun thought for a long time and drew a diagram of yin and yang. If everything is not resolved, yin and yang will be in conflict. Zhu Yijun has formed this path dependence, which is also part of the ancestral family law. , after all, Zhu Yuanzhang personally annotated Laozi's "Tao Te Ching".

Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "Guanzi said: Many things are cheap, and few things are expensive. Mencius said: The unevenness of things is the emotion of things."

"I kind of figured it out. What this means is The value of exchange will be cheap if it is too much, and it will be expensive if it is too little. This is the inside story of the different prices of items. "

"Qiu Jun attributes the value of items and commodities to natural endowment and human power. People give infinite use value to natural things. "So, things include two kinds of value, one is exchange value and the other is use value."

"We. Taking the woolen materials from the official woolen factory as an example, the worsted woolen cloth can be purchased at 20 pieces a day, and the woolen woolen cloth can be sold at 600 pieces a day. The exchange value of the worsted woolen cloth is higher than that of the rough woolen cloth. Things are more valuable when they are scarce. In terms of use value, the weight of worsted wool is three times that of woolen wool. Woolen is used as clothing material to protect against cold. The use value of worsted wool is also higher than that of woolen wool. ""So worsted wool is more valuable. The price is high. ”

“Skill is not only the value of the strength of human labor and the length of time, it is the value of use, and the exchange of supply and demand. Value."

Zhang Hong was silent for a long time and asked: "Your Majesty, does Qiu Jun really mean this?"

Zhu Yijun said immediately: "Does it matter to me? He said that he meant it, could he still tell me in a dream, didn’t he mean it? I said that he meant it, and that’s what he meant. Zhang Dayan, what do you mean?”

“I don’t mean anything. "Zhang Hong chose to admit defeat. It was definitely not a wise choice to quarrel with His Majesty. Your great and wise Majesty is very good at reasoning, and he likes to use his power to suppress others. You are the emperor, and this is what you mean when you say it.

Zhang Hong carefully took down notes and thought for a moment before choosing to give up.

To work around His Majesty, you need to learn a mentality of giving up and giving up. There are some truths that His Majesty, Yuan Fu, and Emperor Zhu Zaiyu can understand, but Zhang Hong and Feng Bao really can't understand.

I simply don’t understand what the purpose of your Majesty’s study of this thing is, and he doesn’t know what your Majesty’s discussion is about.

“I am stupid.” Zhang Hong did not take any detours and chose to act badly.

Zhu Yijun smiled and continued reading Qiu Jun's Supplement to the Explanation of the University. The reason why Zhu Yijun read this was entirely because Zhang Juzheng recently talked about Guanzi, but Guanzi was already a figure in the Spring and Autumn Period. Some of his views and Cognition is no longer in line with the world's trends, but economic theory was not studied by anyone in the Ming Dynasty. Qiu Jun's research was very thorough. Human beings have given meaning to the use of all things.

Production is the use value that meets specific needs and requires specific production activities.

In the early morning of the next day, before Zhu Yijun met with Antonio, he asked Zhang Hong to distribute a copy of yesterday's discussion to the courtiers one by one.

"Zhu Zhongxing in "Labor Illustrations"?" Zhang Juzheng looked at the name and author of the calligraphy and knew that His Majesty had raised his sledgehammer and was ready to smash it down.

And Ge Shouli proposed to handle the Shanxi Miscellaneous Report in order to provide His Majesty with muskets. Your Majesty has learned to produce ammunition yourself!

Quoting the classics, bring out Guanzi, Mencius, and Qiu Jun, excerpt their arguments, and then analyze their connotations, and then explain the formula of commodity value, commodity value = exchange value + use value, exchange value and quantity of items Related, but also related to other things, such as giving it emotional value. The use value is related to labor time, labor intensity, and production purpose.

These are all issues discussed in Zhu Yijun's illustration of labor, and are combined with multiple examples. Woolen materials, ships, silk, silver, etc. are all subjects of study.

Zhu Yijun also gave himself a pen name, Zhu Zhongxing.

“Is Your Majesty’s pen name too obvious?” Zhang Juzheng had some questions about the pen name before he read the content. Since the miscellaneous newspapers were going to quarrel, His Majesty’s name was not convenient for quarrels.

"Sir, I am just a child." Zhu Yijun had to remind Zhang Juzheng again that in his eyes, he was an indescribable monster. In the eyes of the world, the emperor was still a man hiding under the wings of Mr. Children, even if they use their imaginations to the fullest, would never think that this pen name and these contents were written by the little emperor.

"Yes." Zhang Juzheng found himself falling into his own cognitive trap. He knew that the emperor was terrible, but even the courtiers who told him the truth every day still did not have a specific understanding of how terrible his majesty was.

The content of the labor picture is not long, and the courtiers read it quickly.

Ge Shouli put down the labor diagram with a solemn expression, looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked solemnly: "Is this all what Yuan Fu taught your majesty?"

"Really? No, right? , It seems so." Zhang Juzheng also felt confused sincerely. Every sentence in it was said by him. "Guanzi" was taught by him, "Mencius" was taught by him, and "Yueyanyi Supplement" was taught by him. He dug it out of a pile of old papers.

In terms of content, it does not exceed what he taught, but the summary is accurate and accurate.

"Yuan Fu, awesome!" Qi Jiguang closed the note and said sincerely.

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is wise."

"Since Mr. Yuanfu understands things so well, why don't you explain it to me? I am a Situ of the imperial dynasty, specializing in finance." Wang Guangguang finished reading Afterwards, Zhang Juzheng was enlightened and complained in his tone. Zhang Juzheng, who had such a deep understanding of things and emotions, did not tell him.

You have figured it out a long time ago. Are you sorry for leaving me so confused?

Zhang Juzheng said tentatively: "Da Situ, is there a possibility that your Majesty has figured out and summarized a problem that I haven't figured out yet?"

Ge Shouli was amazed. Said: "Mr. Yuan Fu has really tried his best for your majesty's power."

Ge Shouli means that the emperor is Zhang Juzheng's apprentice. Of course, if he has good things, he will share them with his majesty. Issuance in name only adds leverage to His Majesty's pro-government, and this has been true for everything from Jieyuan, Baoqisi, the theory of contradictions, the theory of public and private affairs, and now the theory of labor.

Your kingdom is just an official of the country, but there is still a layer of connections missing.

"Your Majesty understands, how dare I steal heavenly power?" Zhang Juzheng still shook his head.

Zhu Yijun smiled and asked: "If you don't teach me, sir, how can I enlighten myself?"

Zhang Juzheng chose to admit defeat. The emperor was already very good at reasoning, and now he directly used sophistry. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? This question is currently unclear.

Wang Chonggu was the last one to read the labor picture. He stood up suddenly. The officer's eyes widened and he immediately came to Wang Chonggu's side. His hand was already stretched out. If Wang Chonggu made any further movements, he would be captured immediately.

Zhao Mengyou couldn't understand why His Majesty kept Wang Chonggu in the court.

The Yanguan has been impeached many times, and His Majesty just wants to get off the road. Wang Chonggu, the last remnant of the clan party, has to leave the court even if he does not die, but His Majesty has never had the intention to touch Wang Chonggu.

But Zhao Mengyou was extremely afraid of Wang Chonggu, because Wang Chonggu had martial arts skills and he could use a sword. Most merchants from aristocratic families knew some martial arts skills, because businessmen would not be able to do business without some martial arts skills.

So, if Wang Chonggu had any misconduct, the corrective officer would immediately come to him.

Tan Lun also had martial arts skills, but when Tan Lun quarreled with others, slapped the table too many times, and even planned to walk away, Zhao Mengyou never stopped Tan Lun.

Very obvious differential treatment.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand, and the ceremonial officer took the order and stepped aside.

"Da Sikou, why are you so shocked?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.

Wang Chonggu actually didn’t pay much attention to the movements of the official. He held the labor diagram and bowed his head and said: "This is it, it should be this way! Exchange is yin, use is yang, any production is centered around realization Use value to realize it, I have been puzzled for many years, and suddenly I have an idea!”

"Your Majesty is wise!"

In fact, Wang Chonggu will encounter a lot of confusion when he is practicing. In the face of these confusions, it is easy to take various detours, and now this labor diagram says, the answer solved many doubtful questions in his heart.

You can imagine Wang Chonggu’s excitement when he found out about it despite being trapped.

Wang Chonggu took the illustration of labor and said with great horror: "Labour is also divided into two types: yin and yang. One is the physical yang of labor that is practiced, and the other is the metaphysical so-called Tao. Labor is yin, and metaphysical labor seems to be divorced from practice, but determination is an indispensable part of labor. Metaphysically speaking, the Tao is discovery, summary, improvement, and application. ”

"There is no difference between high and low in these two kinds of labor, because the metaphysical comes from the metaphysical, and the metaphysical comes from the metaphysical, and they complement each other."

Wang Chonggu was very excited. With this theoretical basis, the Confucians will talk about him again As a minister of prosperity, Wang Chonggu has something to say, and at least he has a theoretical basis to refute the Tomb Sect.

"Zhu Zhongxing is not necessarily me alone, he is looking forward to everyone in the world to rule." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Leave it to Ge Zongxian to be responsible for printing."

Zhu Yijun Sitting upright, he said: "Xuan Xiao Fo Lang's envoy Antonio."

Today I will receive Antonio before the court meeting. Antonio was tossed for a day on the hydrofoil sailboat and almost vomited out his stomach. , it took several days of rest before I finally felt better.

This is the third time Zhu Yijun has met with Antonio.

"Your Majesty is so great and so wise and so wise. It is my honor to come from afar to meet Your Majesty." Antonio praised Zhu Yijun in an almost exaggerated tone.

"I hope that in the future, when you sit as the King of Portugal, you will still be so respectful." Zhu Yijun directly ignored Antonio's flattery and simplified the relationship between them into a relationship of mutual use.

Although Antonio looks like a loser now, he doesn’t want to buy a ship from the Ming Dynasty. He needs an imperial edict from the emperor.

Antonio, the thief, actually learned to use idioms. Nangzuiluying is a very common idiom, which means that talent cannot be concealed, just like an awl placed in a bag, it will definitely show its sharpness.

“Last time you brought a national gift, I returned the gift with a double-sided velvet four-in-one Ruyi embroidered dragon patchwork. Please bring it back this time, Feng Daban, the envoy came from afar and will prepare Good rewards will be given to you." Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao and said.

Feng Bao shook his fly whisk and shouted with a raised voice: "Your envoy has come from afar and is given a special gift of one hundred taels of silver, four pieces of silk on the outside and inside, plus a fine piece of silver, and five bottles of national cellars. , I don’t need to say goodbye to you.”

Antonio opened the watch, stared at the hands on it, and said with great surprise: “This is the second hand?”

"Yes, it is inconvenient to count one hundred quarters a day, so it is changed to ninety-six quarters. Each big hour has eight quarters, each small hour four quarters, one hour and sixty minutes, and one minute and sixty seconds. By the emperor Uncle Zhu Zaiyu modified the timekeeping system, and this is the Zheng Wang Watch. "Zhu Yijun specially named this watch the Zheng Wang Watch. This is because Zhu Zaiyu came from the Zheng Mansion.

A hundred quarters a day, a hundred minutes a quarter, and a hundred seconds a minute. This unit of seconds is too short and cannot be realized with current technology. Moreover, it cannot be converted into large and small hours. One hundred Dividing by twelve hours and twenty-four hours was inconvenient, so the sexagesimal system was finally formed, with sixty seconds equaling one minute and sixty minutes equaling one hour.

The sexagesimal system has been used since ancient times in the Ming Dynasty. The heavenly stems and earthly branches are divided into sixty years.

"This is very accurate." Antonio looked at the egg in his hand with mixed feelings in his heart.

The Nuremberg egg has only hour hands but no minute hands, while the current millimeter watch has three hands for hours, minutes and seconds.

Zhu Zaiyu also did archaeological research. After understanding the principles of the water transport instrument platform in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was not difficult to understand the functions of various gears. As for excellence, Ming craftsmen never lacked this.

"You come to Beijing to ask for orders to buy a ship. I have already written the ship certificate and given it to you." Zhu Yijun did not waste time and directly gave the ship certificate to Antonio. This was the deal that had been negotiated before. Antonio Treats obtained in exchange for seeds from various crops.

After seeing this, Antonio bowed again and said sincerely: "Your Majesty's reputation for keeping his promises will be brought back to the West by my ministers. Your Majesty's generosity and kindness will surely be sung in every corner of the earth."

"Just like God in the world."

There is no businessman in the world who keeps his promises. Antonio thought that he could buy a boat when he went to Beijing this time. At least one layer of his skin would be peeled off, but This extremely precious piece of paper came into Antonio's hands so easily.

Antonio cannot understand the authority of the emperor in this empire. This kind of unambiguous authority can only be matched by the coming of God to the world.

"I'm very happy that you can come. You only bought two boats at a time. I'm very dissatisfied. Can't you buy two more?" Zhu Yijun put forward his request, and he bought too few boats. , buy more, which will help promote convection of silk silver.

The Ming Dynasty needed silver, very much.

Zhu Zhongxing is not only the pen name of the emperor, but also the pen name of a group of people who hope for the revival of the Ming Dynasty. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! !
