Chapter 236: Correcting the Tiger Minister, Confidant Qiancheng
Wang Chonggu was very pleased with Liu Sandao's creation and invention. Fire prevention in this woolen factory was a top priority. Although Liu Sandao's method could not prevent it, It's a fire before it happens, but when the bell rings, being able to control the fire in time can avoid a lot of losses.
Wang Chonggu was overjoyed and even met with Liu Sandao and asked Liu Sandao if he wanted to go to Gewuyuan. Liu Sandao felt that he was a carpenter and could not read a basket of Chinese characters. Going to Gewuyuan was not a joke?
Gewuyuan does not care about one’s family background or lack of literacy, as long as he is willing to learn. Liu Sandao has an ingenious mind and a pair of skillful hands. Wang Chonggu expressed his merits to Liu Sandao and asked His Majesty’s grace to let Liu Sandao It is advisable to enter the Gewuyuan.
Yongding Woolen Factory is not just one Liu Sandao, but there are thousands and hundreds of Liu Sandao. They are all craftsmen. To solve the problems in production, they must brainstorm and improve production. Tools in the hope of obtaining more labor remuneration and products.
Especially the products.
"Son, you did a good job this time." Wang Chonggu took Wang Qian through the factories one after another. After checking the wool materials that were about to be released, he looked at Wang Qian beside him and said quite He talked approvingly about the affairs of the DPRK.
Sun Jigao was the main force in criticizing Wang Chonggu. What the retro-style faction hated most was Wang Chonggu who was amassing profits.
Wang Qian’s merits can be seen by the courtiers, Yuan Fu can see it, and most importantly, His Majesty can see it. Hai Rui is not a person who is greedy for merit. The reason why he launched the general attack on Sun Jigao is entirely because Wang Qian is still not strong enough to face the counterattack and revenge of the retro faction.
In official circles, what exactly is strength? It is through one specific thing after another, constantly infiltrating one's influence, gaining a group of like-minded, comrades, peers, and people who share the same interests, and then influence the political situation.
This is strength. Wang Qian, a fledgling censor, obviously did not have the strength to face the storm, so he took refuge in Hai Rui's name.
Hai Rui is too righteous, Wang Qian is too strange.
But this time, Wang Qian handled Sun Jigao's case very well, far exceeding Wang Chonggu's expectations.
"Father, have you ever been corrupt?" Wang Qian touched his chin and asked slightly confused.
Wang Chonggu ran away directly, pointing at the door with a red face, and shouted angrily: "Get out! Get out of here immediately!"
"Don't let me see you, otherwise I'll beat you Break your legs! Just after doing something, your tail is raised to the sky, right? You, the seventh-rank official who supervises the censor, or you and I, betrayed our old face and went to the Quanchu Guild Hall to ask for it? ”
“Get out!”
Wang Qian was so anti-corruption that even his father was targeted.
“You got it right and you got angry out of shame?” Wang Qian immediately realized that something was wrong. Wang Chonggu looked a little suspicious of a guilty conscience.
If the three aunts and six wives tell Wang Qian in the future that he has a lot of half-brothers, wouldn't it mean that he will really chop the anti-corruption blade on his father's head?
"Am I guilty of being a thief? I wish I hadn't given birth to a son like you! I'm not a thief, so I feel guilty!" Wang Chong cursed angrily.
This is also the crux of why anti-corruption efforts always start but end.
Everyone eats from the same pot. The sword used to carry out anti-corruption attacks is everyone’s pot. You can’t eat from the same pot. Isn’t this an act that harms others but does not benefit oneself?
We all belong to the same class, are all His Majesty’s ministers, and are all the great masters of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to fight against corruption, if you do the opposite, you will backfire on your old friends, classmates, brothers, relatives, and friends. Are you taking action or not?
Wang Chonggu sighed and told himself not to be angry. His good eldest son, Wang Qian, had no intention of borrowing someone else’s head to be promoted to a higher position. Wang Qian was reminding Wang Chonggu not to follow suit. Zhang Siwei risked his whole family's life.
Wang Chonggu said very seriously: "Since your Majesty built the Forest of Happy Steles, your father and I have never received a cent of money! Your Majesty has given too much, and I feel uneasy even holding it."
If Wang Chonggu asked for money, His Majesty would have given him too much. If he wanted power, His Majesty would let him join the cabinet, but he would shirk the blame in every possible way. As for connections, in the official arena, a zero-sum game, connections are sometimes unreliable. Can be a liability and a bane.
So, Wang Chonggu did not intend to accept money. He was the Ming Gong of the Ming Dynasty. He was already a meat eater above tens of millions of people, second only to His Majesty and Yuan Fu.
Wang Qian then said with a smile: "That's good."
Wang Qian looked at the huge woolen factory and sincerely admired his father. All his methods were perfect. Conspiracies and intrigues cannot be considered elegant, but the foundation for my father's ability to stand firm in the storm is the Woolen Official Factory and the Xishan Coal Bureau.
He frowned and said: "Father, I have a few questions. Why can my father's Yongding woolen factory be able to make it? No matter how hard other people's woolen factories try, let alone lose money, they can't even weave. Is it just to help the government factory to clean and spin wool? Some time ago, the court said that it was because of the humble Confucianism, but now it is not possible for the shopkeepers who are favored by the merchants. "
< br>Wang Chonggu held up his hands, shook his head and said: "It's not that I am hiding something, because the powerful right-wingers and gentry in the Ming Dynasty still refused to admit that labor gives value, and supply and demand determine the price, confusing value and price, and then Negate the labor theory of value."
"How can it be done?"
"Wool is washed by craftsmen, spun by spinners, and woven by weavers. What comes out is dyed by dyers who put a lot of effort into dyeing it. It does not grow on the shelves. They refuse to acknowledge the labor theory of value proposed by Qiu Jun during the Jingtai period. No matter how much money the woolen factory spends on it, it is a dead end. . ”
“To put it more clearly, the labor theory of value can be ignored outside the manual workshop, but in this manual workshop, it must be paid attention to. ”
Weaving and dyeing of woolen official factory. Among the fabrics, there is a kind of yarn specially used by the royal palace. The steps are extremely complicated. Break the yam and put it in a bamboo basket, wrap it with cotton cloth and squeeze out the yam water. Then put the fabric into the dye and dry it in the sun again. Soak the yam in water, boil it, dry it in the sun, and repeatedly soak it in the sun, sprinkle it, seal it and cook it. This process alone takes fifteen days.
Then dig out the mud from the river pond, add water and put it on a bamboo basket to filter out impurities with cotton cloth. Mix it into mud and apply it on the gauze. After drying the mud, rinse it with water to obtain a deep black color. Seal the water again and finally dry it in the sun.
This is the production process of a hand-dyed cloth factory. It is so complicated and troublesome. If the craftsmen are not willing to work hard, they will not be able to make cloth, they will not be able to sell goods, and they will not be able to make money.
Without goods, there is no profit, and without profit, you cannot survive.
The powerful and right-wing merchants have already formed a fixed mindset, and they are doing their best to deal with the situation. How can they become a woolen factory?
Asking them to be considerate to the common people is not as reliable as a sow dreaming of climbing a tree.
Wang Qian could understand the problem his father was talking about, but he asked with some confusion: "Father, why do you refuse to admit that labor gives value, but only talk about supply and demand?"
Wang Chonggu thought for a moment and replied: "Son, the fundamental question of labor and supply and demand is actually: What is wealth? What are its roots? Qiu Jun thought it was labor, but the Ming Dynasty's humble Confucians identified it as Supply and demand. "
"Only by identifying supply and demand can they maintain their current power and status, and continue to prey on the common people with peace of mind, because the landless tenants and wandering common people are no different from slaves. In the theory of supply and demand, it will not play any role, and this is the reason. "
"Once you admit the labor theory of value, you will inevitably face a terrible question, asking the rightists why. How can they maintain such a privileged life? "
"The answer to all this is to kill them and poach them. Of course they don’t admit this fact from the bottom of their hearts and cannot admit it.”
Wang Qian was stunned. He finally understood why the labor theory of value and the theory of supply and demand were so quarrelsome in major newspapers. .
It's a dispute over the road.
Because once the labor theory of value is recognized, it means admitting that the 369 and so on are based on 朘pee, although meat eaters know this well.
“But, but, is the labor theory of value necessarily correct?” Wang Qian asked dully.
Wang Chonggu nodded in agreement. He believed in the labor theory of value, so he promoted the enthusiasm of the official factory for production. He said very clearly: "I am the supervisor of the official factory. I think the labor theory of value is right. Let's go back to that issue. , What is wealth? Wealth is not money, wealth is not debt, and wealth is not silver buried in a pigsty. Money is only wealth when it is in circulation. When it cannot serve as an equivalent, it is nothing. "
" Money is wealth when it is circulated, so what is exchanged for money? It is the commodities that are continuously produced in the factory. "
"Commodities are wealth."
“The West is currently facing a nightmare of soaring prices, so Felipe II spent a lot of time and traveled thousands of miles to transport silver to the Ming Dynasty, because the silver in the West has been blocked. If Leaning down, I'm afraid Felipe II's head will be screwed off."
"The consequences of having only silver and currency without commodities are the current predicament of Tessie, which exposes the real problem of Tessie. It lies in the inability to produce goods."
"Only goods that are circulated are wealth."
Wang Qian thought over and over again and bowed his head and said, "My father is right, and I will obey it. Father's teachings. "
"Son, you said that merchants pursue profit, so what kind of profit is chasing after profit?" Wang Chonggu looked thoughtful and said with a solemn expression: "The profit that is pursued is actually that. The gap between the value created by labor and the reward for labor is what we pursue.”
“The gap between the value created by labor and the reward for labor is exploitation in the production process.”
< br>“To admit the labor theory of value, we must admit the gap between labor value and labor remuneration, and admit the existence of exploitation, which is equivalent to admitting that we are immoral. Therefore, the labor theory of value cannot be admitted. .”
Wang Chonggu didn't know what he was talking about and whether Wang Qian could understand it, but it didn't matter. He just needed to write it down for the time being, and he would understand it naturally when he experienced something in the future.
"Who is your next target?" Wang Chonggu asked slightly curiously.
Wang Qian said very firmly: "This cannot be said."
"I am your father!" Wang Chonggu was furious.
"That can't be said." Wang Qian was still very determined, greased the soles of his feet, and ran away without a trace.
Ada Khan did not invite the Golden Seal, so he needed to go around the outside of the Great Wall to Xining. By going around the outside of the Great Wall, Anda Khan had to guard against the raids of the Western Fan Rongdi people, and the journey was too far, so Anda Khan wanted to send the third lady to the capital to pay tribute, and discuss with the gentlemen in the capital whether they could be lenient.
The Ming Dynasty did not even let Sanniang enter the customs. The court had already made a clear decree on this matter and could not change it. If he really wanted to invite the monk, he would set up an altar in his hometown and call people over to discuss it. .
The Ming Dynasty did not know Anda Khan’s thoughts. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty only cared about the interests of the Ming Dynasty. Even if Anda Khan went to Xining really for his faith, the Ming Dynasty would not let him go.
What the Ming court was not very clear about was that this time the court refused to give the governor a gold seal, which caused a kind of suspicion among the northern captives. Ten thousand households under Anda Khan began to generally doubt that Anda Khan Is it still recognized by the Ming court? The resumption of war is not a situation that thousands of households want to see, and the three wives who advocate peace have gained a large amount of political capital in this round of confrontation.
With this kind of political capital, one day, when it is really necessary to take sides, Sanniangzi will gain a lot of recognition and then influence the direction of the entire Monan. On the morning of April 4th, the morning light was dim, and the Emperor of Ming Dynasty ran towards Jiecuyuan in a panic. He also wore the wrong shoes. Two shoes were not the same pair of shoes. It was so ungraceful and inconsistent with the education given by Empress Dowager Li to the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. .
Zhu Yijun came to the courtyard with a long string of tails, panting and said: "Feng Bao, go ask... Da Sima about the situation."
Yesterday At the fourth watch, Tan Lun suddenly suffered from a phlegm attack and was rushed to the hospital to understand the situation. When Zhu Yijun received the news, it was the fifth watch. He didn't even bother to wash up, so he rushed to the hospital to inquire about the situation.
When he arrived at the place, Zhu Yijun was a little timid and asked Feng Bao to ask.
Tan Lun's magnificent life was after he passed the imperial examination and was awarded the title of Doctor of the Nanjing Ministry of War. He was preparing for the Japanese invaders in Nanjing. When the Japanese invaders arrived in Nanya, Nanya had been in peace for a long time, but no one dared to fight. Tan Lun himself He recruited five hundred warriors and defeated them. Tan Lun was promoted to a high official, all because of his military exploits. He would go wherever there were Japanese pirates.
When he was the magistrate of Taizhou, he recruited dead soldiers to resist the enemy. Tan Lun personally led a thousand guardsmen and defeated the Japanese pirates in three battles. The Taizhou Six Tigers became famous in this battle.
While serving as deputy inspector of Zhejiang Province, Japanese pirates invaded Haimen and no one had the energy to rush to rescue. Tan Lun led his army to march 300 miles day and night to rescue and defeat the Japanese pirates in peace. His design made the Japanese pirates fall into the muddy ground. In the swamp, wipe them all out.
Correct the tiger and ministers, and build the city from the bottom of your heart.
Although Tan Lun cannot be defeated now, as long as Tan Lun is still the Great Sima, Ming Dynasty can continue to develop its military.
Now Tan Lun was carried into the hospital, and two great medical officers Chen Shigong and Li Shizhen treated him. Zhu Yijun kept staring at the door, waiting for that moment to come. At this time, Zhu Yijun's Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and he even had an artificial illusion.
If Tan Lun is killed, Jingying Zhenwu will have more troubles. If Tan Lun is killed, the Ming Dynasty Zhenwu will lose Optimus Prime.
The cheap Confucians have every reason to kill this martial and radical Minister of War, and they may really do so. Zhu Yijun clenched his fists unconsciously and stared at the door with red eyes.
Bad Confucians even dare to set fire to the palace. Is there anything else they dare not do?
No, nothing should happen to Tan Lun.
Zhu Yijun has done so much. After assassinating the king and killing the driver in the first year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun built the Jiegui Hospital. Since then, more than a hundred criminals have been executed. With the rapid and advanced medical skills of Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong, they have been carefully treated How could Tan Lun be so seriously ill?
And in these years, Zhu Yijun never let Tan Lun go into battle. Daningwei simply went on an outing, and even Qinglong Fort and Xinglin Fort were not allowed to check.
In the original history, Tan Lun became ill due to overwork, and the military administration in Beijing had been inactive for a long time. In fact, Tan Lun worked hard and was extremely tired.
But now, the little emperor personally manages the exciting capital camp.
So Tan Lun should not be in trouble now. If Tan Lun is in trouble today, the Ming Dynasty's humble Confucians will need to bear the emperor's wrath.
"It started and opened, and it delayed the court. Which of you can bear the responsibility? In the first year of Wanli, I coughed at the Temple of the Sun, and I was grabbed and impeached. I almost got out and went home, but you stopped me What am I doing? The court meeting is about to begin. Who is going to shut up those gossips if they are late?" A strong voice sounded from the door, and the door suddenly opened.
The first thing Tan Lun saw was the nervous and hurried Dajue Feng Bao and Zhang Hong. Looking past the two figures, Tan Lun saw the figure of the little emperor, and was a little stunned for a moment.
"Ah, ah, why does this disturb His Majesty?" Tan Lun hurried forward, trying to kneel down.
Zhu Yijun immediately stepped forward, supported Tan Lun, and said quickly: "It's okay, it's okay."
He helped Tan Lun up, touched the real person, and confirmed that Tan Lun was Lun was really still alive, so he let out a long sigh of relief.
In the original historical line, Tan Lun died of a phlegm attack on the third night of April in the fifth year of Wanli. He was only fifty-eight years old. But this time, Tan Lun walked away from the ward alive and well. Come out, full of energy.
"Da Sima is running around for the country and becomes ill from overwork. Let's take a break for two...five...ten days." Zhu Yijun decided to give Tan Lun a holiday and let him have a rest. At the age of fifty-eight, for pampering and being pampered, For Tan Lun, who has excellent medical conditions, he is still very young.
"Ten days? Just coughed, ten days?!" Tan Lun's eyes widened, and he waved his hands and said: "Your Majesty also saw it, there is no need to rest at all, he is a servant of the palace, he is just making a fuss."
"That's why I asked them to make a fuss out of a molehill." Zhu Yijun's tone was very firm: "If you say ten days, then ten days, not a minute or a second!"
Tan Lun still wants to argue. , Zhu Yijun flicked his sleeves and said: "This is the imperial edict. If Da Sima does not obey the edict, I will tell the Taifu that Da Sima disobeyed the imperial order!"
Zhu Yijun hasn't washed yet, and he has to go to the imperial gate to listen to politics. Without saying much, he hurried back to the palace with a bunch of tails.
Tan Lun stood where he was. He got ten days of leave for nothing. He was already very free. How could he get sick now? It's true that the little emperor used Zhang Juzheng to suppress others every day.
Tan Lun, the great Sima, has a leisurely life because there are several people in the Ministry of War who are Tan Lun's right-hand men.
Liang Menglong, the left minister of the Ministry of War, was the governor-general of military affairs who went on two campaigns with Qi Shuai, and was also a disciple of Zhang Juzheng. The right minister of the Ministry of War was Liu Yingjie, who was also good at military affairs and was one of Zhang's party members. After Zhang Juzheng's death, , Zhang Dang was appointed by Zhang Siwei and other rebels.
Wu Baipeng, the deputy minister of Yueshi Dingjian and the governor of Xuanda, was a comrade who fought against Qi Jiguang and killed the enemy. He was a life-and-death friend who could give his back to the other party.
His Majesty is personally in charge of the capital camp, so Tan Lun, the Grand Sima, has some leisure time. This ten-day holiday is really a bit too much.
Zhu Yijun had unkempt hair, unwashed face, uncombed hair, and the wrong shoes on his feet, just to see if Tan Lun was okay. As soon as the news got out, all the officials in the capital were bound to Thinking about a question, if you really attack Tan Lun, what kind of huge waves will it cause?
You must know that the little emperor and Zhang Juzheng are almost carved from the same mold, cold and ungrateful, and they will be repaid for their actions.
Every official in the capital is sincerely glad that Tan Lun survived. Although his illness was so serious that he had to recuperate for more than ten days, he still survived.
Tan Lun survived, which meant that the courtiers were less likely to be tortured. They were really afraid of being tortured.
This is also due to the lack of information. Tan Lun’s physical condition is a confidential matter. Therefore, Tan Lun took a rest for ten days and was generally considered to be seriously ill by officials. There was an endless stream of people coming to visit him. , are all blessings to Tan Lun: like the perseverance of the moon, the rise of the sun, the longevity of the Nanshan Mountain, it never collapses.
In short, I wish Tan Lun to be healthy. If Tan Lun is not healthy, I am afraid that the officials in the capital will be unlucky.
Tan Lun met Wu Baipeng at the Quanzhe Guild Hall, who had returned to Beijing to resume his duties. This time Wu Baipeng needed the court's explicit order to return to Beijing for three things.
The first one is the golden seal of the governor of Anda Khan, the second one is that the three ladies came to the court to discuss, and the third one is Wang Chonggu’s resettlement of the 190,000 landless servants in the northwest.
“Da Sikou has a reputation as a virtuous man in the northwest, and everyone is grateful for his kindness. He focused on agriculture, cultivated mulberry trees, and reclaimed wasteland, built water and brought peace to the people. After twenty-five years of fighting in the northwest, it was riddled with holes, and he finally felt inspired." After Wang Chonggu returned to Beijing, Wu Baipeng went to the northwest to conduct an in-depth investigation and study of Wang Chonggu's resettlement of the civilians, and the answer he gave was that the great Sikou had a life. The merits of the people.
In the first year of Wanli, Wu Baipeng bribed the capital officials with Datong general Ma Fang to avoid the inspection of the Great Wall Dingjian. Zhang Juzheng took the opportunity to pursue and beat Wang Chonggu out of the court, and asked him to go back to Xuanda to block the caves. , the relationship between Wu Baipeng and Wang Chonggu has become like fire and water after this incident.
However, Wu Baipeng twice played for Wang Chonggu's contribution to reassuring the people in the northwest. It can be seen that Wang Chonggu was really serious about plugging holes after returning to Xuanda University from Jingtang.
Of course Wang Chonggu knew how to repent, but he was just a little bit beaten to death by Zhang Juzheng. If he didn't repent, he was looking for death. He couldn't beat Qi Jiguang, so he had to be a courtier to amass profits. alive.
The reason why Zhang Siwei did not repent was because it was Yang Bo and Wang Chonggu who paid the price, not Zhang Siwei. Zhang Siwei faced his fear for the first time and dragged 728 people to be buried with him.
"Da Sikou is indeed a man of action." Tan Lun signed Wu Baipeng's memorial, which was regarded as acknowledging the content of Wu Baipeng's memorial.
Wu Baipeng had already started visiting and investigating when he went to Yongfeng, Jiangxi Province to serve as county magistrate in the 27th year of Jiajing.
Go and see for yourself and listen to what the people say is Wu Baipeng's style of doing things. He has been doing it for decades. He combines knowledge with action and attaches great importance to practice.
"What Governor Wu means is to let the third lady come to court?" Tan Lun said with a frown.
Wu Baipeng nodded and said: "It is Anda Khan who wants to go to Xining, and it is Sanniang who does not want Anda Khan to go to Xining. She is also the Ming Dynasty. She refused to give Anda Khan the gold seal and allowed Sanniang to enter the court. The grassland will be further divided. Ananda Khan is more powerful than the Tuman Khan, otherwise the Tuman Khan would not move to Liaodong. "
"Fragmentation will intensify their conflicts, thereby weakening their strength. Yuan Fu and His Majesty will have to reconnect sooner or later, and if they do, they will inevitably have to fight Anda Khan. The weaker Anda Khan is, the more beneficial it will be to the Ming Dynasty. "
Wu Baipeng elaborated on his reasons, Anda Khan is the nominal head of the family, while Sanniangzi is the actual head of the family. The conflict between the two people has become more and more intense with the power of the Ming Dynasty. As the Sanniangzi of the peace faction, the Ming Dynasty still has to be gentle. , but for Anda Khan who invades the invaders, he must be threatened and punished.
Putting yourself in and out is not Zhu Yijun’s exclusive passive skill, it is the passive skill of Ming Dynasty scholars.
After thinking carefully, Tan Lun said with great agreement: "What I mean is that the third lady will come to Beijing to pay tribute. The main reason is that the Ming Dynasty will still use troops against the Tuman Khan this year. The Ming Dynasty's current military strength is still not enough for two people. When fighting on the front line, it is easy to focus on the northwest direction. "
"Where is Anda Khan? Did Anda Khan really go to Xining? "
< br>Wu Baipeng shook his head and said: "No, according to the night-time intelligence reports that went deep into the prisoner camp, I'm afraid it's not that simple. Anda Khan took advantage of the road this time, and he had great ambitions. I'm afraid he wanted to contact the northwest Rongdi and join forces to invade Gansu and other places. "
"So, don't give me the golden seal of Khan, and don't let him take advantage of it."
As the border governor, Wu Baipeng's statements have great reference value for court discussions and will also affect Ming Dynasty's decision-making.
Wu Baipeng supported not giving me the Khan Gold Seal and opposed not allowing the Third Lady to enter the court, and supported Wang Chonggu. Wang Chonggu is now regarded by officials as a villain who amasses profits and is despised by everyone, and Yan Song There is almost no difference in treatment.
“Anda Khan’s evil intentions never die.” Tan Lun said solemnly: “Is there any possibility of reconciliation between Anda Khan and Tuman Khan? The third lady has been busy working on this matter.”
< br>"It's absolutely impossible." Wu Baipeng said very clearly: "For the left and right wings to reconcile, one of Anda Khan and Tuman Khan must die, and one party must defeat the Hand Blade Thief Chief before reconciliation is possible, but at that time It’s not a reconciliation, it’s a conquest.”
Wu Baipeng is very sure that reconciliation between the left and right wings is an unattainable dream. The relationship between Anda Khan and Tuman Khan is who was killed.
"If the Ming Dynasty conflicts with Anda Khan again, what do Governor Wu think are the chances of winning?" Tan Lun, a warmonger, asked the question he was most concerned about.
Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! !
