Chapter 399: The sky is about to fall, so rely on it; the road is close to the dead, ask who is holding up the sky
Zhu Yijun's life, he mainly takes one step at a time and sees three steps at a time. Zhang Juzheng's long term appointment will definitely cause some turmoil. This is a foreseeable risk, and Zhu Yijun specially reserved Liujue for Zhang Juzheng.
It is not that the Ming Dynasty did not have no civilian titles. Wang Ji, Wang Yue, and Wang Yangming were all awarded world titles by civilian officials, but these were all due to military merit.
Zhu Yijun's knighting of Zhang Juzheng was actually a military merit. It is true that Zhang Juzheng did not obtain any military merit on the battlefield, but the strong army since the first year of Wanli was the foundation of everything.
The Ming Dynasty held successive chief ministers. Except for Zhang Juzheng, no one explicitly called for strengthening the army and giving power to the generals.
The two methods of promoting culture and military affairs and using culture to control military affairs continued until the end of the Ming Dynasty. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the civil servants had changed from governors to supervisors. They were given swords above, which could be used to kill first and then play. The late Ming Dynasty also fell into another strange circle, that is, you can't fight, even if you are a civil servant and a Jinshi, you can't fight. You can't really suppress the bandits, and you can't really fight against the Qing.
The better you are at fighting, the more people in the court will deal with you. This battlefield becomes a business, a business of gaining seniority.
For example, Xiong Tingbi, Sun Chuanting, and Lu Xiangsheng.
Sun Chuanting captured Gao Yingxiang, the first king of Chuang, in the Battle of Black Waters, and put an end to the civil unrest in Shaanxi. The Qin army formed in Yulin was invincible. Then he supervised Baoding. Even though Lu Xiangsheng and Gao Qiqian were defeated one after another, he still repelled the Qing army. When the Qing army invaded Shandong and conquered Jinan, Sun Chuanting repelled the Qing army in his jurisdiction. Sun Chuanting was very good at fighting, so After being criticized for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen finally became suspicious, and Sun Chuanting was imprisoned by the Fusi of Xiabei Town.
This prison lasts for three years.
The Han Dynasty has loyal and loyal people, and it is not that no one can use it. The deaths of Xiong Tingbi and Lu Xiangsheng were both seeking glory and humiliation. During the period when Sun Chuanting was in prison, the Ming Dynasty took a sharp turn. In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Gao Yingxiang was appointed to the capital. Emperor Chongzhen, who was cut into pieces by a thousand swords, shouted that the world would be invincible. By the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, the world was already in decline.
Zhu Yijun tried to design a system to allow a strong army to gain support from the cabinet and change the pattern of promoting civility and military power and using civility to control military power.
Xingwen and Zhenwu are not contradictory. If they are walking on one leg, they will naturally not be able to maintain peace for a long time.
Zhu Yijun told Zhang Juzheng his thoughts. He could also be awarded a title for his contribution to making decisions. From then on, Zhang Juzheng changed from an official elected official to a hereditary official.
Since Qin Shihuang unified the six countries in the Central Plains, the basic system of officials has been to select officials, even the imperial examination system is no exception.
People like Xu Jie will use their own privileges and wealth to annex land and achieve a pseudo-hereditary system, that is, hereditary neglect and collection of rents. This is under the system of elected officials. The highest pursuit of officials.
Xu Jie reached this point, and in the end it was pseudo-hereditary. In the Ming Dynasty, only the emperor and martial arts were hereditary. For example, the hereditary thousand households in Zhang Juzheng's family were not the hereditary county men of the previous generation?
Zhu Yijun appointed and dismissed Zhang Juzheng from the first grade to the super grade. This system design was based on this consideration.
Since Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutiny, and the yellow robe was adopted, the military of the Central Plains has become an extension of politics. The military of the Ming Dynasty needs the support of the cabinet. The support of the emperor alone is absolutely not enough. The emperor alone , its supporting force is extremely weak, Wu Zongchao is an example.
"Your Majesty, this is very dangerous." Zhang Juzheng understood the emperor's thoughts. He kept holding the tea cup and turning it constantly. He was thinking about the pros and cons. The benefits are obvious. In the future, the chief minister of the cabinet will Ennoblement and hereditary military honors will also provide more support for the military; the disadvantages are also obvious: political stability will be further reduced, and there will definitely be powerful ministers who combine civil and military power.
"It's getting colder and colder in the north, and this year's spring is a little later." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said quite accurately.
Zhang Juzheng immediately said: "Your Majesty has thought carefully."
After Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, he became silent again. Zhu Yijun picked up the memorial and began to review the memorial, allowing Zhang Juzheng to think slowly.
The silence of the First Assistant Master lasted for a quarter of an hour.
The celestial phenomena have changed. In recent years, it has become colder and colder in the north. Further north in Liaodong, the heavy snow will not completely melt until March. The changes in the celestial phenomena mean that production and life will be greatly affected. Affected, materials will become scarce, more specifically, the food harvest will fail, which means there will be unrest.
The Ming Dynasty opened the sea and made great profits, but with the inflow of silver, thoughts will inevitably change. Money is a devil and confuses people's hearts.
During the period when the celestial phenomena are changing, the north of the Ming Dynasty will continue to suck blood from the south, not only Nanya, but also Wanli Seawall. State affairs have always been like this, one move affects the whole body.
Violence is the ballast of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Juzheng finally put down his tea cup and said: "Your Majesty, this matter should be done with great caution. In addition to the canonization of Wu Xun, it must be subject to court deliberation and should also be decided by Your Majesty."
The court deliberations return to the court deliberations. What the court deliberations ultimately form are only suggestions, and the emperor should be knighted by civilian officials. Especially when the Ming Dynasty records decisions and merits, he has a veto power.
Zhang Juzheng can only guarantee that when he is a powerful minister, he will not overstep his authority. If because of him, the Ming Dynasty has the necessary conditions for the formation of powerful ministers in the system, this is something Zhang Juzheng cannot accept under any circumstances.
"What you said makes sense. Let's discuss the matter of granting the world certificate." Zhu Yijun heard Zhang Juzheng's idea and nodded.
"I thank you for your majesty's grace. I ask myself whether I have contributed a little to the country. This minister repays the late emperor and is loyal to your majesty." Zhang Juzheng stood up, shook his sleeves, knelt on the ground and made a five-step gesture. With the great gift of three kowtows, I solemnly thanked the emperor for the world certificate.
On the seventeenth day of the first lunar month in the eighth year of Wanli, Zhu Yijun came to the Wenhua Palace early in the morning. After the courtiers came to see the ceremony, Zhu Yijun did not let everyone stand down and said to Feng Bao: "Declare the decree."
< br>Feng Bao took a step forward, looked at the imperial edict that opened the two small yellow doors, shook the whisk, and said loudly: "The emperor is destined to be carried by heaven, and the edict says:"
"The country is in danger and will be restored to safety, the sun and the moon ”
“Since the Gengxu Incident, the captive king Anda invaded the capital, and the war in the northwest has lasted for twenty-five years without end; Wan hangs himself to show his ambition, and the pirates in the southeast sea are raging for thousands of miles, and the people are in ruins."
"I ascended to the throne at a young age and continued to defend the boundless calendar. Mingzhi guides the people to a safe and healthy place. There is no way to ensure people's livelihood below, and there is no way to consolidate the destiny of heaven. If you work hard day and night, you are often afraid that you will not be able to overcome this arduous task, just like wading into the deep water without knowing its end. God has decreed that there will be great difficulties and the Xian ministers will assist me."
"It has been like this since ancient times. When a king succeeds to the throne at a young age, he must appoint ministers who have a long life and do not show courtesy. , must be relied upon as one's heart, be close to him day and night, and must not be neglected and discarded. This virtue of remembering the past is similar to Yi Yin's suing Taijia, who used the words of the ancestors as a guide; ”
“When the sky is about to fall, I lean on it; when the road is near, I ask who is holding it up.”
This is an imperial edict written by the emperor Zhu Yijun himself, rather than having it drafted by the cabinet. Zhu Yijun issued the seal. The world is in turmoil, and the young ruler is suspicious. The young emperor must have the virtue of remembering the ancients, and be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains, just like Yiyin made Taijia emperor, but Taijia was ignorant and immoral, so he was exiled to Tonggong by Yiyin. Taijia cultivated his virtue, and Yiyin returned to the government of the country.
The sky is crumbling but has not collapsed, because the big pillars of the mountains are supporting the sky. The imperial court is on the verge of destruction because of its misalignment. Who is supporting the Ming Dynasty like the purple gold beams across the sea and the white jade pillars holding up the sky.
Feng Bao continued to read: "In accordance with the order of the Holy Ancestor, dukes, marquises, and earls are not allowed to be granted arbitrary titles unless they have military merit. In the eighth year of Jiajing, Emperor Sejong once ordered the courtiers to meet with relatives to discuss matters of enfeoffment. Emperor Sejong It is also said: Those who are rewarded by husbands are the best rewards in the world. They are tools that the master relies on to inspire the world. The rewards are given to those who have made great contributions, but the tools and the name should not be given lightly. The weapon is light, and the country is in danger. "
"I should always follow the example of my ancestors, and follow my example. However, I now intend to record your contribution to making decisions and reward him with honors. Yicheng Bo Shiguan is hereditary and has great merits.”
“First of all, the master of the country is suspected, and there seems to be a minister who has the power to govern. If the emperor is not allowed to take charge of state affairs, he will go out from Yeting and drive out of Xuanwumen in a mule cart."
"Second, pass the examination for official administration..."
...
"The constitution was established after the dynasty, the virtues were extended, the edict was given to the world, and the envoys heard about it."
"I admire this."
This imperial edict is very long, and the following content is the specific part of Zhang Juzheng’s contribution to the policy. There are so many contributions that he can’t even count them all. After Feng Bao finished reading, he felt like smoke was coming out of his throat. Really It is necessary to clearly count what Zhang Juzheng did one by one, even if it only counts from July of the sixth year of Longqing to January of the eighth year of Wanli, it will be a long and lengthy document.
"My lord, thank you for your kindness." Zhang Juzheng did not refuse. He had already refused yesterday.
"I love you all, but I have violated the laws established by our ancestors. Today, I will reward you with a noble award. You have submitted five ministers. State affairs should be discussed in the court. Let's discuss it today." Zhu Yijun waved his hand to signal to everyone that he should be safe. The imperial edict has been written and the seal has been sealed. If you want to object to the refutation, object now. If you don't object, don't go out and be weird.
Everyone sat down, but everyone was very silent, not saying a word, and they didn't want to start this.
"Wan Dazai?" Zhu Yijun had no choice but to start this question himself.
"Your Majesty is here."
"Your Majesty is really talented in literature!"
Wan Shi and Ji Ling shot out a very silky flattery, He hasn't received the direction of the wind yet, so he doesn't know which direction to wash the land in. Although Wan Shihe is 80% sure, His Majesty is not taking retreat as an advantage and forcing Zhang Juzheng to leave. .
But what if?
Wan Shihe is waiting for the wind, waiting for His Majesty’s clear direction of the wind.
As soon as these words came out, the ministers all looked at Wan Shihe. In terms of flattery skills, it still depends on Wan Dazai!
"Wan Dazai is really impeccable!" Zhu Yijun smiled. The courtiers looked at Wan Shihe and were very happy. They really had nothing to say, but they were able to flatter him. He was worthy of Wan Dazai.
After Wan Shihe's interruption, the atmosphere of the court meeting immediately changed from extremely solemn to relaxed, at least it was no longer so solemn that you could hear a pin drop.
"Your Majesty, I believe that there is nothing wrong with rewarding Mr. Qi." As a general, Qi Jiguang made a statement and supported His Majesty's decision.
The reason is very simple. Zhenwu needs the support of the emperor, the cabinet, and the court. Logistics is becoming more and more important to military operations. Qi Jiguang himself is the contemporary military god. If there is no one in the court to support him, so will Qi Jiguang. A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice.
From the standpoint of a general, Qi Jiguang will definitely support His Majesty’s decision.
"It is necessary to be granted a title, but there must be a prerequisite, which is to renounce oneself from all officials." As Minister of the Ministry of War, Tan Lun chose to support His Majesty's decision, but he did not support it unconditionally. Even if this precedent was set, In the future, there should be a major prerequisite for sealing oneself, that is, one must be isolated from all officials.
Take the exam and treat all officials as cattle and horses.
When Yang Bo was still here, he always wanted to marry his non-existent daughter to Zhang Juzheng. In this way, the merger of Chu and Jin would completely alienate the emperor. Yang Bo said this more than once, and the officials knew it and wanted to It's not impossible to pursue the title of nobility, but you have to be a solitary minister. Non-lone ministers cannot take this path.
As soon as Tan Lun said this, the courtiers began to discuss quietly. After discussing for a while, everyone chose to agree. They don’t want to be a lonely minister, and they want to be knighted. You don’t want to rebel, but what do you want to do? ?
The core of the examination method is not only the limited time limit, but also the blanking of names on the draft list and filling in the base book. The book is locked in front of His Majesty Wenhua Palace. The examination method breaks the previous rules for official promotion, and the premise of Tan Lun is Quantify it as follows: whether it supports blurring the names on the draft list and filling in the names in the booklet. To put it more simply and clearly, just two words, loyalty!
"With this premise in mind, we will be rewarded with a certain title and cannot lead troops." Zhang Juzheng looked at the courtiers. As the first person to be rewarded with a certain title, Zhang Juzheng drew a picture for himself There is a circle, that is, you cannot lead troops, even in name. This is not a prison, but a necessary restriction.
Whether he has military talent or not, it is enough to be tested in practice during the gradual promotion process in the Ming Dynasty officialdom. Zhang Juzheng set limits for himself.
"It should be so." Wang Chonggu breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Juzheng was already under great pressure. If he became a martial artist and then led the army, then he would not be a rebel but a rebel.
These two restrictions, one before the other, almost blocked the way for ministers who set plans and rewards to rebel.
The court discussion is still going on, and the various rules for determining the policy and rewards are being delineated, but the two most important ones are that Tan Lun and Zhang Juzheng, one after the other, seclude themselves from hundreds of officials and are not allowed to lead troops.
"After the court meeting, the Six Sections Gallery should discuss the matter with the officials and officials." Zhang Juzheng finished writing the floating ticket, and the court meeting was indeed passed. Although many restrictions were added, he I think it needs to be discussed publicly to make it more clear.
Wan Shihe smiled, shook his head and said: "We Ming officials are full of ideas. We don't say anything when we ask questions, for fear that we won't be able to get anything out of them. As far as officialdom is concerned, The officials feel that the best situation is a pool of stagnant water, unchanged, otherwise there will not be so many old-fashioned and cheap Confucianism. "
As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Wan Shihe has long been aware of the officials of the Ming Dynasty. Obviously, everyone called Wan Shihe a loser, but Wan Shihe knew very well that 90% of Ming officials were just losers!
"Wan Dazai, in terms of criticism and etiquette, I have to give it to Wan Dazai." Zhu Yijun got Zhang Juzheng's floating ticket, printed it, looked at Wan Shihe and said.
Zhu Yijun made it clear that he had violated the ancestral law and it would be very difficult to wash the floor next.
"Your Majesty, this is a pioneering move. The Book of Rites says: It is new every day, new every day, and new every day. Emperor Taizu Gao once said: There is no art of immortality in ancient times, let alone one that will last forever. The law should change with the times, pay attention to current affairs, and reform the past." Wan Shihe bowed his head and replied.
Wan Shihe washed the ground for His Majesty. The one he held in his left hand was the ancestral method. Wan Shihe had already used this move with great proficiency. The one he held in his right hand was to reform the old and create new ones. Although this move is rarely used, Wan Shihe is very good at it. Wan Shihe is not incompetent, especially on the basis of the explanation of contradictions one after another. Wan Shihe's own etiquette attainments are completely sufficient.
Things are not static. Everything is always in contradiction and constantly changing. If you simply live by the ancestral laws, it will be because the ancestral laws cannot adapt to the current situation and cannot guide the current policy program.
Wan Shihe is a very smooth person. He can wash away the land without using the laws of his ancestors. Those cheap Confucians who do not do business cannot be his opponent.
Quarrel! Now in the Ming Dynasty, Wan Shihe has never been afraid of anyone except the emperor! Including Feng Bao, who practices Qi Ren Jing!
Zhu Yijun chose to believe that Wan Shihe did have his own opinions on the land washing.
On the biggest matter, the courtiers reached an agreement and the court discussion was able to continue. The public opinion collected by Zhu Yijun in front of Huangji Gate really made the Ming court better understand the main contradictions of the place.
In various places, from governors to common people, the issues they are most concerned about are different from the main conflicts imagined by the courtiers.
For example, in Nanya, Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng have always believed that the resolute implementation of clearing the father-in-law and returning the land to the land has made the Zheshe households miserable. Taking advantage of Huangjimen's hard-won opportunity to collect public opinion, the Zheshe households will raise their own concerns about the return of the land from the father-in-law. dissatisfaction.
But not so.
Whether it is out of fear of Zhang Juzheng or the gradual transformation of production relations, Zheshe households are looking away from the land and towards the workshop.
In this public opinion collection, Zheshe households hoped that the emperor could support the establishment of handicraft workshops.
For example, more relaxed road guidance policies allow workshops to obtain more labor; reducing customs clearance procedures and increasing the speed of goods circulation; more open official roads and post roads, etc.
The road guide system of the Ming Dynasty was very strict. Xiong Tingbi traveled a long distance from Huguang to Jiangxia to Beijing and participated in the selection of elite soldiers in the Beijing camp as an inspection archer. There was no road guide. According to the Ming Dynasty Law Conference According to the principle that refugees who are arrested may even be treated as a lowly citizen, in the 24th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict: If he does not do farming and only works as a writer, he will be arrested if he is a homeless person.
With the development of the times, annexation has led to the gradual increase of tenants and homeless people. This clause has gradually become a dormant clause. However, when people leave the county boundary, they still have to check the roads. Zheshe households hope that they can In the yamen area, the road guide system should be simplified. For example, the road guide system should be simplified from the inspection in each county to the road guide inspection in each prefecture.
However, the proposal of the Zheshe households was opposed by the courtiers, not just one or two, but all of them.
“I heard all the wishful thinking of these Zheshe households in Nanya in the Wenhua Hall! Isn’t it just to oppose the decree of returning the land to the abbot? It’s such a big circle!” Wang Guoguang felt that Zheshe Households are opposing the clearing of their father's land and the return of their fields.
Land needs people to cultivate it. According to Qiu Jun's labor theory of value, labor gives value. Without labor, land will have no value if it is idle, and labor is realized by people.
These loose policies seem to be creating a better business environment, but if you think about it carefully, you find that the wishful thinking of the Zheshe households is still for the sake of population.
“What Master Situ said is absolutely true.” Tan Lun agreed with this very much, and Wang Guoguang saw through the little trick of covering up luxury households at a glance.
Guo Chaobin, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, an honest and responsible person, rarely expresses his opinions in the Wenhua Hall, but today, Guo Chaobin surprisingly said: "I am against these Content, the number of craftsmen in Nanya is sufficient at present. If the policies such as road introduction, customs clearance, and official roads and post roads are made easier, it may not be conducive to the cultivation of craftsmen."
"Your Majesty, I am stupid and occupy the high position of a court official. But the minister of supply and demand can still see clearly. Once the tenants and farmers do not work in farming and become apprentices, then the craftsmen will not be able to get enough remuneration for their labor. In this way, the craftsmen will become slack. Following the rules of laziness, they will not It is conducive to the prosperity of Nanya Handicraft Workshop."
"Zheshe households are short-sighted for the sake of temporary gain, and the court cannot be short-sighted."
Guo Chaobin finally opened his mouth once and then started to talk a lot. He stopped talking for a quarter of an hour. He was not talking nonsense. Ming Dynasty's handicraft workshops are extremely fragile. Once the number of poor coolies increases, it will inevitably affect the labor price. When the craftsmen cannot get enough labor remuneration, the production Enthusiasm and enthusiasm for technological innovation will be reduced, which will lead to reduced production efficiency.
What Zheshe households want is nothing more than to reduce costs and increase efficiency. The cost of handicraft workshops and labor costs remain high. Relaxing these restrictions seems to be able to reduce labor costs in a short time. In the short term, within a year or two, it may promote the vigorous development of the market, but the overall efficiency is low and profits are reduced. Zheshe households will inevitably wait and see with money and are unwilling to invest, and the overall production scale of Ming Dynasty will be reduced.
The harm is endless.
Guo Chaobin said slightly helplessly: "Your Majesty, this may be a little difficult to understand, but the production is like this. A skilled weaver can weave half a foot a day, but an unskilled weaver can weave half a foot a day. It would be great to be able to weave a few inches. If this skilled weaver refuses to do it seriously, it will delay production. Zheshe households are eager for quick success, but the court should look further and plan for it slowly. "
"Yongding Woolen Factory is a typical example. The stall is so big, but the profit is still more than that of private shops."
"I was confused at first, but when Guo Shangshu mentioned Yongding Woolen Official Factory, I understood!" Zhu Yijun didn't quite understand what Guo Chaobin said at first, but when Guo Chaobin gave an example, Zhu Yijun immediately understood.
What Guo Chaobin said is complicated. To sum it up, it is to prevent the vicious cycle of 'if you don't do it, some people do it, but in fact they are all fishing'. We should establish a woolen factory like 'If you do it well, I will give you more'. Money, everyone works hard, that's a virtuous circle.
The Ming Dynasty’s handicraft workshops and large-scale employment production are still in their infancy. If they are short-sighted, they will inevitably stifle the transformation of the Ming Dynasty from a small peasant economy to a commodity economy.
Covering luxury households is for private purposes, and the Ming Dynasty is for the public. It is understandable to be short-sighted, but the court must have a long-term vision. At the very least, it cannot be short-sighted.
"Well, let's follow what Guo Shangshu said." Zhu Yijun chose Guo Chaobin's suggestion. Guo Chaobin is a very cautious person, and he is not without aim.
The number of craftsmen in Ming Dynasty is not stagnant, but is growing steadily, and it can meet the needs.
According to what Guo Chaobin said, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be scolded by Zheshehu as a die-hard pawnshop owner, a conservative, unwilling to adapt to the current situation and reform the past.
But the imperial court had its own considerations. Farming and mulberry cultivation were fundamental, and the land still needed people to cultivate it.
The long court discussion was finally over. Zhu Yijun stretched out and planned to go to parade the military horses after lunch.
After Zhu Yijun finished the military parade at Beida Camp, he went to Beizhen Fusi. Firstly, he wanted to personally interrogate Li Yuanyue’s case. Secondly, he wanted to set out from Beizhen Fusi to see what happened. lively.
"Where is Li Yuanyue's body?" Zhu Yijun asked Zhao Mengyou. The report he made has been released.
"Li Yuanyue is here." Zhao Mengyou pointed to a coffin in front of him. After all, he was a Jinshi, so he still prepared a coffin at home.
Zhu Yijun was silent for a moment and said: "Tishuai is very interesting recently, open it and take a look."
Zhao Mengyou looked extremely embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, don't read it, then my husband is guilty of murder. The corpses, Li Yuanyue and the woman were divided together. It was impossible to tell who was who, so they were put into the same coffin. "Can't they be sewn together?" Zhu Yijun hesitated. asked.
Zhao Mengyou said with great conviction: "I can't sew it up, and I'm already vomiting."
"Forget it, I won't read it anymore, let's go and watch the fun." Zhu Yijun did not let Zhao Mengyou do it in the end. When the coffin was opened, there was a pile of rotten meat. It was indeed nothing to see. Not even a professional coffin could withstand it, let alone a naturally noble man like Zhu Yijun.
Zhu Yijun went to Yanxing Tower, the largest restaurant in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, which was very lively.
The excitement this time is that Yanxinglou Ship Ticket Trading House opened today. Zhu Yijun plans to take a look at the situation this year.
Starting from January of the eighth year of Wanli, the five-masted D-type commercial ships that cross the ocean will once again be included in the subscription package. Zhu Yijun went to Yanxing Tower not to see the looting, but to see the first day of the new year. Quotes.
When Zhu Yijun arrived at Yanxing Tower, all five-masted and three-masted ships were subscribed, and the price of the previous ship tickets also increased again.
"This is a direct increase of 10%, from seven silver and seven coins per card to eight silver and four coins per card? This increase is a bit strange." Zhu Yijun took an abacus and clicked it. There has not been a large amount of money injected into the market recently, and this increase is actually a bit beyond Zhu Yijun's expectations.
Eunuch Cui Min said with a smile: "Your Majesty, on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Songjiang Ocean Trading Company completed its annual report. Last year, the safe return of ships increased from 80% to 90%. The market opened on the first day of the new year. , the sesame seeds blossomed immediately, and the return rate was getting higher and higher.”
“The reason for such a return rate is firstly because the sea route is familiar, and secondly, it is due to the Luzon Governor’s Palace, Nagasaki Governor’s Palace, The stability of Ryukyu and other places may not rise but fall if there is a Japanese invasion."
"Well, good! Sun Kehong did a good job." Zhu Yijun picked up the annual report of Ocean Trading Company. It is indeed a good thing. Good news.
"Your Majesty, there is something. The shipowners of the trading house hope to gather five five-masted merchant ships to go to the West. From the Pacific Ocean to the Viceroyalty of Mexico and Peru, across the Atlantic Ocean, and to Liberty City, this route Once it is opened, our maritime trade in Ming Dynasty will be fully opened," Cui Min said cautiously.
Teacher Ma scolded the court for running a pawnshop and not allowing his Ant Financial to be listed on the market, but Ant Financial was a loan shark. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! !
