Chapter 262: The proficiency level is high
The monopoly on information is also a concrete manifestation of the monopoly of power.
The construction of information cocoon is a result and phenomenon of power monopoly.
For the courtiers, the little emperor is also in an information cocoon. The courtiers need to guess the holy will through the cabinet and the ceremonial supervisor. This is the downward opacity of information, and there will also be choices in information. The pair is opaque.
In the case of the attack on the Taifu in Xishan, how should this case be determined? Is it because the Taifu has no reverent heart? Or is the emperor going to have a military confrontation with the Taifu? Or maybe the emperor concluded that someone else was responsible? Or maybe the emperor wants to compromise in exchange for recognition and make the country more stable?
These originally required speculation, but now there is no need for it.
Compromise in exchange for recognition, such as the case of the palace fire, the emperor could have chosen to pin all the blame on Gao Gong in exchange for the stability of the court, but His Majesty did not do that, such as Dao Ye's Shame II For fifteen years and so on, it was similar compromises in exchange for recognition to maintain the stability of the court.
His Majesty has made his attitude clear and clear, and he wants blood to flow into the river.
Zhang Juzheng cannot take the blame. Even if the man behind the scenes cannot be traced to the end, he still has to find a powerful person to take the blame and pin the blame on him, because Zhang Juzheng is another name for the New Deal. .
The court meeting has begun. The discussion on the progressive tax system is an important part of today's court meeting. Wang Shuguo denounced the tax inspectorate for being greedy, talked about the dangers of amassing profits, and then turned around and threw out an interesting thing. , progressive tax system, then the previous contents can be ignored.
The most critical thing is this progressive tax system.
"Sea tax should still be drawn at 6 out of 100, and it is not suitable to implement a tax system for the time being." Chief Assistant Lu Tiaoyang first set a tone for this court meeting. A progressive tax system can be implemented, sea tax will not be increased for the time being, and the country will be rich. Strengthening the army to cultivate the sea and cultivate mulberry trees are two basic national policies at present. If the sea tax system is progressive, it runs counter to the main theme of the Ming Dynasty to open the sea.
“Light sea taxes are used to encourage people to go to sea, heavy land taxes are used to force people to return the fields, six are drawn out of 100 values, and the government tariff seems very small, but the Ming Dynasty has benefited a lot. The Ming Dynasty is short of money and needs a huge amount of silver to enter our country. The Ming Dynasty can serve as currency, not only for silver, but also for fish oil, spices, copper, sulfur, etc., all of which rely on sea trade. I personally think that sea taxation should not be progressive." Lu Tiaoyang stated his reasons.
Encouraging the expansion of the sea and forcing the return of the land is an important application of the long whip of the Ming Dynasty’s tax law, and it is a heavy blow.
The money shortage of the Ming Dynasty, or the money shortage of the Central Plains Dynasty, has been around for a long time. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty court minted a large number of coins, including copper coins, iron coins, and flying coins. However, even iron coins as thin as cicada wings , still in short supply, a banknote called Qianyin was eventually issued to serve as currency.
This is a banknote issued by the imperial court. It was first printed on a large scale in the early Northern Song Dynasty.
In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Jiaozi, jointly issued by sixteen wealthy businessmen in Sichuan, was the earliest banknote in the Central Plains Dynasty. Every year when silkworms, rice and wheat were about to ripen, the same color paper was used to print them. Banknotes are used for commerce and trade to facilitate circulation. When exchanging, 40 yuan will be deducted as the usage fee of Jiaozi.
Jiaozi and Qianyin are banknotes in the Northern Song Dynasty. Song Huizong issued a large number of Qianyin indiscriminately, which eventually led to the corruption of the banknote law in the Northern Song Dynasty.
By the time of Hu Yuan in the Southern Song Dynasty, it had developed into a treasure banknote. The earliest treasure banknote was the Zhongtong Yuanbao banknote issued by Kublai Khan. Then a vicious cycle began over and over again. The banknote method was corrupted and the issuance of banknotes was New banknotes, new banknotes were corrupted, and new banknotes were issued. The Ming Dynasty banknotes did not escape the fate of Hu Yuanbao banknotes. In the 25th year of Hongwu, when new banknotes were replaced, they found that they could not be replaced.
There are many reasons for the corruption of treasure banknotes. For example, private printing became common. During the Hongwu period, a total of nine million banknotes were issued. When it came time to change the banknotes, twenty-six million were exchanged in a few days. The court did not So many treasure banknotes are issued, but there are so many treasure banknotes in the private sector. Private printing and indiscriminate issuance are the reasons for the proliferation of treasure banknotes. The proliferation of treasure banknotes means that the value of treasure banknotes has greatly depreciated. A currency will depreciate as long as it is held. Currency, of course, no one is willing to use it anymore.
Due to the system construction of the Ming Dynasty, even during the Wanli period, there was still not enough administrative capacity to print money, so minting money became a top priority. The Ming Dynasty could mint 20 million copper coins a year. At first glance, it sounds like a lot, but in fact When converted, it's only ten thousand guan, which is roughly equal to ten thousand taels of silver.
The Ming Dynasty can absorb more than four million taels of silver every year. Therefore, constructing a money law based on silver and copper has become the optimal solution for the Ming Dynasty at present.
The significance of opening the sea is not only to promote the New Deal of One Whip Law, but also to solve the stubborn problem of money shortage in the Central Plains Dynasty. Gold and silver are natural currencies, and everyone recognizes their value, even in later generations. Its price is also very stable and strong.
"Isn't it a little too hasty?" Wang Chonggu sat up straight and said: "In the twenty-fifth year of King Zhou Xiang, Duke Mu of Qin took advantage of the Jin State's newly mourned king and sent troops to sneak attack the Jin State's right-hand man, Zheng State. However, The State of Zheng was on guard for a long time, but Duke Mu of Qin returned without success and went to Mount Gu. He was ambushed by the newly succeeded Duke Xianggang of Jin, who completely annihilated Duke Mu of Qin's army. Qin and Jin became world enemies from then on."
"Qin. If Duke Mu acted too hastily, he would never come back. This also forced Qin Xiaogong to change the law in order to preserve the country."
"I think that this progressive tax system can be postponed for a while, and I am too hasty. , I’m afraid the world will be uneasy.”
Wang Chonggu felt that he could wait and there was no need to be too anxious.
When Wu Guifang, the governor of water transport, came to Beijing to resign, he presented the emperor's five regulations on farming in the Wenhua Hall. The fourth of them was to summon the refugees to provide fields. Sanmin. The original owner of the labor service was recognized and was not allowed to complain. Whether he was a tenant or a laborer, he became a householder after farming and was no longer a slave. The original owner was not allowed to tell the Yamen to fight for it. The Ming Dynasty's Emancipation Proclamation was ultimately not implemented.
The reason why we were not allowed to do it at that time was that we felt that doing it too hastily might lead to a catastrophe.
If you drive too fast, someone will step on the brakes. Whether it is going up or down, going too fast is not a good thing.
"What Ci Fu said is extremely prudent and prudent." Zhu Yijun nodded to Wang Chonggu and affirmed that his speech was based on the consideration of the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty and was prudent and prudent. If Wang Chonggu's buttocks were crooked, these words would not be prudent. But he opposed the New Deal.
In fact, Wang Chonggu also found it difficult. He really hoped that when Zhang Juzheng took office, he would really run away, so that he would not have to face so many storms.
Fortunately, His Majesty was willing to protect him from the wind and rain.
"The progressive tax system is not too radical." Tan Lun said, but he did not agree very much: "With the progressive tax system, the Tax Inspection Institute cannot do things without any regulations. The tax inspection commander, Nan Ya The commander-in-chief of Ti, Luo Bingliang, said that the amount is what it is, so there must be laws to follow. Previously, the old tax system was followed, and the new tax system will be implemented in the spring of next year. Punishing people without teaching is abuse. If you teach and refuse to change, then you are not a court. "It's my fault."
What Tan Lun said was to compromise and give him a buffer period.
The new law will be implemented in the spring of next year. These six months are the buffer period given. If you do not know what is good or bad, do not respect the court's orders, and disobey the imperial edict, then the court's authority and punishment will be imposed. It can be said that the court has no kindness. ?
Of course, the imperial court has no benevolence at all. After all, neither Zhang Juzheng nor Emperor Zhu Yijun recognized the word benevolence. The nine classics of the world, those who practice them, are true, not benevolent.
So, Zhu Yijun, the little bastard, all blames Zhang Juzheng, the old bastard, for teaching him.
Your Majesty only recognizes the reality of practice and does not recognize the benevolence and righteousness in your heart. Doesn't this mean you have no benevolence?
"Let's make a compromise like this." Wang Chonggu thought for a while and stepped on the brake. As for the failure to brake, you can't blame him. He is not the driver. He has fulfilled his duty to remind him and caused trouble. Just go to Xishan to ask the ancestor to come out.
The most important thing is to force the people to rebel. Civil unrest under the imperial system is a very common social movement. With Qi Jiguang at his side, it is easy to quell the civil unrest.
"It will definitely encourage leakage." Wang Guoguang also said with some worry.
Once the progressive tax system is implemented, the Ming Dynasty's tax bonding and tax evasion will become a long-term and fierce conflict. The court will pursue tax arrears, while the powerful right will find ways to evade taxes. This long-term The contradiction is very stressful for the Ministry of Household Affairs.
"What Situ said is wrong. What he said is as if the imperial court did not implement a progressive tax system and would not evade any leakage if it wanted to be powerful." Wan Shihe did not agree with Wang Guoguang's statement that the Ming Dynasty did not formulate tax laws. , they can steal and leak, Ming Dynasty formulated the tax law, but they still have to evade, so why not enact it.
If you think overseas is good, then get out of here.
Wang Guoguang was slightly surprised, then smiled and shook his head and said, "What Dazai said makes sense."
"Leaking in the Ming Dynasty would risk beheading, and the price is extremely high. Expensive is a personal choice. If you dare to escape, you must be prepared to be traced by the court. If they dare to steal and leak, the court will kill and copy, so they will naturally be willing to accept it." Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, showed again. In order to show his radical side, kill him, kill him cleanly, kill him until the sky is clear and clear.
Many things cannot be solved without killing people, but when the decapitating guillotine hangs on the forehead, some things become simpler.
As the extremely radical Minister of War in the DPRK, Tan Lun resorted to force when he was undecided. This was a style formed by Tan Lun's long-term military rule. He believed that there was no issue in the world that could not be solved by beheading. If he killed If you can't solve it, then you haven't killed enough.
The Shiyaohao gathered a total of more than 60,000 households. Even if they were all killed, there were only more than 4 million households.
Moreover, the practice of Ling Yunyi, who liked killing people, in Guangdong and Guangxi also proved that Tan Lun's statement was effective. After all, the wealthy gentry in Guangdong and Guangxi all missed Yin Zhengmao, the uncle of Surabaya.
Yin Zhengmao only needs money to tear down the door and move the bed, but Ling Yunyi is going to die!
In practice, it has also been proved that in the current Ming Dynasty, beheading can indeed solve the problem.
As for the progressive tax system, it is still extremely extensive. It simply stipulates that if there is more than 10,000 acres of land, the land tax will be increased to 50%, and for businessmen, the revenue will be 10,000 silver coins. The progressive tax system When it reaches 45%, if you don’t pay or conceal your report, you are waiting for the reminder from the tax inspectorate.
Obviously this is a one-size-fits-all decree. It is not that the imperial court does not have massive, professional and precise calculation methods. This kind of extensiveness is completely intentional and is simply to prey on the Jin gentry. The fundamental purpose of the progressive tax law at this time is not In order to collect taxes reasonably, it is completely for the new policy of clearing the land and returning the land.
"This year, the Beijing Procuratorate investigated and punished twelve officials in the capital who were dismissed from their positions and never used them again. Fifty-one were dismissed from the job, and one hundred and fifty-two were fined from three months to one month. Years vary. " Hai Rui, the Chief Xian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, came up with a lengthy list of people to be dismissed. In order to facilitate the emperor's review, the political spectrum of each person's name was marked. Color indicates its faction.
The Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party, and the Jin Party have each faction. Among them, these twelve people have been dismissed from their positions and will never use them. The biggest problem is corruption. It is Hai Rui, the magic sword, who has begun to fight against corruption. After that, he still didn't stop.
Hai Rui directly investigated and punished the fifty-one people who were dismissed, mainly because after three years of passing the law exam, the team was cleared out of the worms who had accomplished nothing, and the remaining fines were the reason Different.
Wang Xijue committed suicide because of this Beijing inspection. Now the list of Beijing inspections appears in front of the emperor. The thick memorial is just a list. His Majesty wants to see whose case it is. There is a plate next to it. The case file is clear and concise.
The twelve people who were expelled include Zhao Yingyuan, the imperial censor of Qiandu, Lu Wanzhong, Liu Guoguang, and Chen Yongbin, the censors of the capital. Only one yamen of the capital procuratorate occupied four seats, while the Hanlin Academy of Confucianism, the Ministry of Rites Zhang Cheng, Shen Xiao from the Ministry of Justice, Zhao Yongxian from the Ministry of Industry, Wang Tixiu from the Ministry of Hubu and others.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate had the largest number of dismissals. Other yamen could only have one or two dismissed, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate accounted for one-third.
As for these four people, they were all investigated before Ge Shouli left. It was not that Hai Rui wanted to unite the party and fight against dissidents. After Ge Shouli left, Hai Rui wanted to eliminate dissidents, but when Ge Shouli took office, he put these four people together. and took away.
Ge Shouli also made it very clear that if these four people continue to be in the court, they will only die. Because what these four people like to do most is to betray the emperor, so before Ge Shouli took office, he had already started Start questioning these four people.
"Ge Gong is righteous." Zhu Yijun closed the list. Zhu Yijun would not approve this list until he read all the case files. Of course, Zhu Yijun was relieved when Hai Rui acted, but according to the agreement that it should be approved , Zhu Yijun must be well aware of the appointment and dismissal of Jingtang officials. "Feng Daban sent the eunuch and eunuch to give him a crane cloak, one hundred taels of gold and silver, ten pieces of silverware, five bottles from the national cellar, and a chair for the imperial master. Wang Xijue copied the only copy of the family copy and gave it to Mr. Ge as a family heirloom. To show the kindness of the court and the sincerity of the honest ministers." Zhu Yijun explained to Feng Bao the reward given to Ge Shouli. The most valuable thing among them was the original manuscript.
Zhu Yijun is so interested in an old man who wants to become an official, so he naturally rewards those who do things.
In this Beijing inspection, the Metropolitan Procuratorate really turned the blade inward. This is good news for the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate naturally knew the pain after being beaten. Continue Being stubborn is not as simple as being beaten.
Wang Xiyuan, the imperial censor of Yunnan Province, reported the matter of Chen Ming's money law.
Wang Xiyuan, the original official of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was all killed, and he was a disciple of Zhang Juzheng. He was the same Wang Xiyuan who said in the petition that his names should be obscured on the draft list and his names should be filled in the base book. Wang Xiyuan held a meeting with Zhang Han, the former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in the capital hall. , because the mining of Yunnan copper was a big deal, Zhang Juzheng sent his direct minion Wang Xiyuan there.
In addition to presenting the Dian copper, Wang Xiyuan also talked about a military matter, stating: Ten things to control the native barbarians.
Controlling the native barbarians is the Waisanxuanliuweisi.
The three Xuanxuan are Ganya Xuanfu Division (today’s Taiping River Basin in Yunnan), Longchuan Xuanfu Division (today’s Longchuan, Ruili, Zhefang, Myanmar and Korea), and Nandian Xuanfu Division (today’s surrounding Tengchong) ) The Six Welfare Departments are: Mubang Xuanwei Department, Myanmar Xuanwei Department, Cheche Xuanwei Department, Babaidadian Xuanwei Department, Laos Xuanwei Department, and Mengyang Xuanwei Department.
The Sanxuan and Liuwei were established by the Ming Dynasty during the Yongle period. During the Zhengtong period, as the four Luchuan campaigns were too costly and took too long, the Ming Dynasty gradually gave up the management of the Sanxuan and Liuwei. In the early years of Jiajing, Mubang, Mengyang, and Mengmi attacked the Xuanwei Division of Myanmar, and Mang Jisui, the king of Ava and Xuanwei of the Xuanwei Division of Myanmar, was killed.
Mang Ruiti, the youngest son of Mang Ji-year-old, escaped by chance and ran to his grandfather's house. From then on, he began his journey of revenge.
In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing reign, Manggruti established the Toungoo dynasty, which brought the Mubang, Mengyang, Mengmi, Laos and other Wai Liuxuanwei dynasties under its command, making it the most powerful dynasty in the history of Myanmar. , the Toungoo dynasty became unprecedentedly prosperous.
In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, Mang Ruiti died of illness. His son Mang Yinglong succeeded to the throne, cut off tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and began to expand northward.
Since the fourth year of Wanli, with the cooperation of traitors, Mang Yinglong, who had annexed everything outside Yunnan, was not satisfied with his current territory and began to invade Shidian, Shunning, Yingjiang and other places in Yunnan many times. , Killing and looting are useless.
In the fifth year of Wanli, Yingjiang County even fell into the hands of Mang Yinglong. As the Duke of Guizhou dispatched troops and generals, Mang Yinglong retreated again.
Wang Xiyuan was in charge of the Yunnan Copper matter in Yunnan. He summarized the news and presented it to the emperor, setting out ten matters to control the local barbarians.
“Barbarians have wolf-like faces and beast-like hearts, fearing power but not being immoral!” Wan Shihe slapped the table and said angrily.
Mang Yinglong is the Mang clan of the Xuanwei Division of Burma in the Ming Dynasty. When the Ming Dynasty was strong, everyone was very good. When the Ming Dynasty was weak, cats and dogs jumped out to bite Ming Dynasty.
The news from Yunnan is very lagging behind. The communication time from Yunnan to Ming Dynasty is ninety days, which is three months, to convey what happened to the capital. Recently, this time is shortening. Because official documents in Yunnan began to be transmitted by water.
"What did Mang Yinglong ask for?" Zhu Yijun noticed a key point in time. In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, after Mang Yinglong came to the throne, he severed the tributary relationship with the Ming Dynasty, launched the Northern Expedition, and then sent Wailiu Xuanwei Division was completely occupied.
In the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, the imperial court was not pretending to be deaf and dumb. It really did not have the strength. At that time, Japanese pirates in the southeast and Anda in the northwest were both the Ming Dynasty's most intimate problems. They lacked the ability to intervene with force, so they could only Just let it be.
"The Ming Dynasty recognized the status of the Toungu Dynasty as the suzerainty in Luchuan and required Siam and other places to pay tribute to Toungu." Ma Ziqiang, the Minister of Rites, returned to this issue, and Chen Xuexue, the Minister of Honglu Temple, also contacted Mang Yinglong The envoys had a very clear purpose: to make the Ming Dynasty recognize the dominance of the Toungoo Dynasty in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty.
This did great harm to the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
The courtiers fell silent, silently thinking about the various problems behind this.
As a visitor of later generations, Zhu Yijun clearly understood the context of historical development. In the 30th year of Wanli, the conflict between China and Myanmar lasted for 27 years. The Ming Dynasty compromised and recognized Myanmar, or in other words, the Toungoo Dynasty was in The hegemony of the southwest recognized that since Yongle, the nearly 400,000 square kilometers of Jisi area in Wailiu Xuanwei Division belonged to the Toungu Dynasty.
The Shan State, Kokang State, and Wa State, which are areas in northern Myanmar that often appear in electronic fraud news in later generations, are the areas that the Ming Dynasty abandoned in the 34th year of Wanli.
Waliu Xuanweisi, is it the territory of the Ming Dynasty? These territories that are subject to the political and military constraints of the Ming Dynasty naturally belong to the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the context of the Ming Dynasty.
The reason why Wailiu Xuanweisi was abandoned in the 30th year of Wanli was also very simple, because the court had no money.
The three major conquests wiped out the legacy left by Zhang Juzheng, and public opinion about the civil and military power of the Zhongzhong Dynasty surged again. The victory of the war did not bring any profits to the Ming Dynasty. Under the influence of actuarial calculations, the Ming Dynasty finally compromised. .
"Your Majesty, Wang Xiyuan said in the memorial that it is appropriate to appease Mang Yinglong for the time being. Copper mining in Yunnan is in full swing. The southwest post road will be leveled and the waterway will be dredged for ten years. Then the army in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty will spend a lot of money on Luchuan. It can be reduced by more than half, and the current campaign is not good for the Ming Dynasty." Under the pressure of silence, Lu Tiaoyang said the first of Wang Xiyuan's ten things to control the Tuyi.
Appease.
During the Zhengtong period, Luchuan was conquered four times, with repeated victories. However, when the Ming army arrived, it was safe, but when it left, it was reversed. At that time, Wang Ji led the Beijing camp three times with 40,000 people and a total of 150,000 troops. Three conquests were made, but in the end there was no result.
The hinterland of the Ming Dynasty is too far away from Luchuan. The cost of mobilizing troops is too great, and the profit is very small.
Acctuarial calculations are sometimes not completely unreasonable. Wang Ji often paid millions of taels of food and wages for his three battles, while the chieftain of Luchuan waited for work, and the Ming Dynasty really suffered a loss of blood.
Mang Yinglong saw through this and sat on Daming’s neck to shit.
The imperial court’s appeasement was to summon envoys, silence all flags and drums, and cease the war, allowing the border people to recuperate. At the same time, they increased the purchase and sale of Burmese pearls, jade, and wood. Burmese teak is the best shipbuilding material. .
“We can’t fight now. The Ming Dynasty’s New Deal has only lasted five years, and the imperial court has a slight financial surplus. At this time, the expedition to Luchuan is suspected of being militaristic. I choose to swallow this grievance and tone, and let Wang Xiyuan take care of him. "Okay." Zhu Yijun looked at the court officials and made a decision.
All the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty is wise." Lu Tiaoyang led the courtiers to shout loudly.
Your Majesty’s decision is the right one at the moment. I can bear this tone for the time being. After all, it is not the right time for the Ming Dynasty to send troops for an expedition. The main conflict is still in Beibei. The problems must be solved one by one. The step is too big and it is easy to pull it off. to the egg.
In fact, the courtiers were very worried that the Ming Emperor would not be able to bear this grievance and would directly send troops.
The master young country is doubtful, that is where the doubt lies.
A fifteen-year-old boy, a fifteen-year-old king, grew up singing praises of virtues. Everyone around him told him that he was the supreme, the most powerful in the world, and the most powerful person in the world. The body is as tall as a mountain and as firm as the sun and moon shining brightly. However, in the face of Burma's provocation, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty actually had to suffer this grievance, even humiliation, and made Ming Dynasty act like a tortoise.
And the most important thing is that His Majesty has always been more radical than the Grand Tutor Zhang Juzheng. The courtiers are all worried that the decisions made by the little emperor will make the Ming Dynasty, which has just regained some strength, slip into the abyss again.
"After appeasing, he took advantage of the feuding states, provoked internal conflicts, and used restraints to repeatedly instigate internal strife." There was a sinister tone in Lu Tiaoyang's tone, which was not what the Ming Dynasty should have. Temperament, these four words are said in a high-sounding way.
The Ming Dynasty is now good at provoking internal contradictions and using its internal contradictions to undermine the other party. This method is actually not recognized by the Ming Dynasty, which is extremely demanding on morality, but the Ming Dynasty Ming Gong said so directly came out, so Zhu Yijun was willing to accept this injustice, because being wronged did not mean that Daming did nothing.
The Queen of England, who is far away in the West, called Ming Dynasty's current method of protruding inside and outside, saying that she is an expert. She is so handy and proficient, and her proficiency has been fully achieved through many practices.
There is no way, who makes the Ming court afraid of poverty? The court finally saved a little fortune, but is not willing to spend it, so it will use some despicable means to exchange for greater benefits at the minimum price. This is what the court officials of the Ming Dynasty are doing now. In practice, we summarized the effective methods.
The Ming Dynasty’s internal policy towards Burma was different from that in the Japanese country. In the Japanese country, the Ming Dynasty’s main direction was to provide all kinds of support to careerists, while in Myanmar, it was to take advantage of the relationships between various tribes. This is the difference caused by the different main contradictions between the two countries.
"Little Dongxu dares to make trouble on the Ming Dynasty without even looking at who my tutor is." Zhu Yijun sneered, full of confidence.
In the sixth year of Zhang Juzheng's reign, the national funds totaled nearly 14 million taels of silver. The capital of Tongzhou in the Ming Dynasty had a thousand treasuries and nearly 10 million shi of grain reserves. This is how Zhu Yijun dared to take over Burma. confidence.
If it was in the first year of Wanli, Emperor Longqing's imperial mausoleum owed 110,000 silver for 500,000 yuan, and Jiubian's payment arrears were serious, Zhu Yijun could only choose to compromise.
Moreover, under the premise of making the country rich, Zhang Juzheng started a trend of amassing profits, which allowed the courtiers to get rid of the shackles of morality and become more shameless in doing things. For the Ming Dynasty, the courtiers Shamelessness externally is benevolence internally.
The price of some things must be borne either outside the country or within the country.
The ten events reported by Wang Xiyuan are all related to the Toungoo Dynasty. They are mainly focused on border trade, purchasing and selling, armaments, construction, etc., such as building a city wall at Tengchong City, and then building a peripheral outpost to the south, and armament The main thing is to feed the soldiers with enough food.
In his memorial, Wang Xiyuan also routinely impeached the Duke of Guizhou for occupying land. This was a Nikkei issue. The censors who went to Yunnan always talked about this matter. From the Yongle period onwards, this matter It has become a common practice. The Duke of Guizhou occupies 20,000 hectares, which is two million acres of land. However, the entire Yunnan army relies on the Duke of Guizhou to supply food and grass. Especially the local government offices in Yunnan like to go to the Duke of Guizhou. Begging for food in the house.
This is a routine matter. Whether the court handles it or not, the censor will report it.
"Nagasaki merchant Sun Keyi requested the imperial court to appoint a governor of Nagasaki." Lu Tiaoyang mentioned another issue. Sun Keyi reported to the imperial court to establish the Nagasaki Governor's Palace.
In some matters, not decapitating means that you have no intention of being named or disposed of. Beheading will relieve a thousand worries. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! !
