Chapter 410: The Era of Great Change
"Your question is a good one." Zhu Yijun knew very well what exactly the question Zhu Yijun asked was.
Zhu Yixuan is not counting the classics and forgetting his ancestors, thinking that there is no need to read the books of the ancestors and the books of various schools of thought. They are two thousand years old and should be swept into the garbage heap. Instead, he is asking, one thousand and five years Is it really appropriate to apply the experience of governing a country a hundred years ago mechanically?
"First of all, it is natural to read. No building can be built out of thin air. It needs an extremely solid foundation. Reading hundreds of schools of thought and reading the theories of pre-Qin is to build the foundation. The Ming Dynasty stands on the giant Only by standing on your shoulders can you see further." Zhu Yijun first answered Zhu Yijun's question about whether he should read it.
A hundred generations have followed the Qin law, and the pre-Qin period when a hundred schools of thought contended. The harvest and crystallization of the contention of various scholars and their thoughts on change in political thought constituted a stable political culture from the Qin to the Ming Dynasty.
In the relationship between humans and gods and ghosts, humans come first and then gods;
In the relationship between humans and the way of heaven and nature, following the laws of heaven and earth and controlling the destiny of heaven, both go with heaven and go against it. Heaven seeks survival;
In terms of the relationship between man and development, it is emphasized that man is stronger than nature and man is determined to conquer nature. Man is the decisive factor in social development, which in turn evolved the private moral requirements of advocating morality and self-cultivation;
< br>In the relationship between people and pursuits, after people satisfy their physiological needs and material needs, the higher pursuit is not self-deification, but sanctification. Through self-cultivation, they become a saint, a wise man, a benevolent person, a man, and a gentleman.
In the end, these explorations formed the humanities and worship of the Ming Dynasty.
This is the fundamental political basis of ancient Chinese dynasties, monarchy, subject consciousness and humanistic worship of saints.
Zhu Yijun told Zhu Yili why he should read hundreds of schools of thought. This seems very complicated, but it is actually very complicated.
Felipe II’s enfeoffment system came to an end. Didn’t the system of the Ming Dynasty also reach a turning point?
Zhu Yijun said very clearly: "The contradiction between monarchs and ministers in the Central Plains is essentially a contradiction between the monarchy and the scholar-bureaucrats; the contradiction between meat eaters and producers is essentially a matter of submission and dependence on the strong people. The contradiction between the people and the state is the main body; the contradiction between the constraints of ethics and freedom is essentially the contradiction between each class’ control of social resources.”
“In fact, the fundamental contradiction is still the contradiction between the means of production, production relations and productivity. "
"I don't understand! Brother, stop reading, stop reading!" When Zhu Yijun heard the contradiction, he jumped up and shouted: " I’ll go find Xiong Da to spar with him!”
I’d rather fight Xiong Da to the death. Zhu Yili doesn’t want to hear these things. He’s not the emperor. It’s up to the emperor’s brother to worry about these important matters! He still has dozens of beauties from all over the world, waiting for him to favor him. His main conflict is that he is too young to get married, and beauties from all over the world are too attractive. It would be good if he can figure out his main conflict.
“This child.” Zhu Yijun looked at Zhu Yiliu’s running figure and shook his head.
Geng Dingxiang, Jiao Hong, and Zhang Siwen once defined production and productivity in the People's Daily. Productivity is the ability to turn nature into one's own use, transform nature, and utilize nature.
Whether it is popularizing education, cultivating craftsmen, or technological innovation, we are all vigorously developing productivity. The development of productivity will inevitably change the ownership of the means of production and production relations. The monarchy will definitely be subject to more challenges. Subjects Consciousness will change to civic consciousness, worship of saints will change to freedom and unrestraint, military.
Politics, culture, and economy will undergo earth-shaking changes.
And now the Ming Dynasty is in this era of great changes.
In fact, Zhu Yijun wanted to be lazy. In order to ensure his supreme status as a king, he could learn from the Tatars of later generations.
All classes in society are slaves of the emperor. Systems such as the Crime Bank, the Integrity Bank, etc. guarantee the rights of the privileged class in exchange for support, never develop productivity, and keep the Central Plains under the basic framework of the small-scale peasant economy. Ideologically, we must restrict any tendency to speculate and strictly guard against clinging to a closed country and refusing to communicate with the world.
Until the country was opened by strong ships and cannons.
At that time, Zhu Yijun had already died, regardless of the flood after his death.
But Zhu Yijun couldn't do that. He is a human king. In the long history, at this critical turning point, he can only be a donkey.
"Your Majesty, I am very happy, I am very happy, Ran Shubin is indeed pregnant." Zhang Hong whispered a few times to a little Huangmen, and said with surprise on his face.
After Concubine Zhou De checked that she was pregnant after the Lantern Festival in the eighth year of Wanli, another good news came. Ran Shubin, who had been favored recently, was also pregnant.
"Go and have a look." Zhu Yijun was also overjoyed when he heard this, and rushed to the backyard of the palace. When he arrived, the queen mothers and empresses of the two palaces had already arrived, and they were all beaming with joy.
Since Wang Yaozhuo gave birth, she has been hiding from the emperor. She said she was recovering from the postpartum period, which is not to say that she has completely disappeared. She just refused to sleep with him. It was mainly due to body anxiety, weight gain during pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Naturally, the palace had a set of detailed methods. .
"According to the rules of the palace, Concubine Ran Shu, now that she is pregnant, it is time to be canonized as a concubine. Let's make her a concubine." Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Yaozhuo and asked Wang Yaozhuo for his opinion.
“My husband has the final say.” Wang Yaozhuo transformed from innocence to maturity, with a charming look and every smile.
"Should the emperor have more concubines?" Empress Dowager Li should not be too happy during this period. There were happy events in the palace one after another, and she no longer focused on worshiping Buddha, but took up her children.
When Zhu Yijun heard that he wanted to accept a concubine, he waved his hands and said: "I still don't want it. The state affairs have been changing recently. The ministers in the DPRK are afraid that they will use this as an argument. Let's wait two years."
< br>"There have been several major events recently. The first thing is the Chidao from the capital to Datong and the Chidao from the capital to Liaoyang. These two Chidao will last for five years, and each one will cost tens of millions of silver. , the sergeants and officials of the DPRK were shouting that a large-scale construction project would destroy the country; the second major event was related to the opening of the sea. Mizhou, Ningbo, Yuegang, and Guangzhou Ocean Trading Co., Ltd. were making intensive preparations for establishment. They were all waiting for Wang Daokun's nine-year period to expire and do something. A major event. "
The basic proposition of Zhu Yijun's new policy is to develop the sea and expand the strategic depth. These two galloping roads must be built. The ancient galloping road passes through Jizhou to Shanhaiguan. This is Chidao is already under construction.
There are two Chidao roads to Liaodong. The first one is from Jizhou, Xifengkou, Daningwei and Huiningwei, from Huiningwei to Yingchang and Liaoyang; the other one is from Shanhaiguan and Guangzhou. Ning, Liaoyang.
The main focus of the dispute between the court and the court is that most of the court officials believe that only one road, Shanhaiguan, Guangning, and Liaoyang, is built. There is no mountain road on this road, and it is extremely simple to build. It can be regarded as spending a small amount of money to accomplish big things. , with a total budget of 10 million silver.
There was a huge wave of criticism in the court. The treacherous ministers used Fu Duan in vain to launch a large-scale construction campaign, thinking that the palace should be built in response to the Qing Dynasty. Translate, translate, even if you only have a few days of wealth, you dare to carry out such a big project. The emperor is still a child, aren't the ministers also children?
Impeach!
The court officials also felt that they spent too much,
"Okay, let's just spend two years in two years." Empress Dowager Li was not too entangled, and she had to take care of the girl to some extent. Thoughts and frequent concubinage are indeed detrimental to the reputation.
Zhu Yijun was very busy. After chatting with Concubine Ran Shu for a while, he went to the imperial study room again. He had finished reviewing half of the memorial and needed to continue.
The sun was shining brightly in the morning of the next day, and the daily court meeting was held as usual. Emperor Ming brought Prince Lu to the Wenhua Hall.
"Wang Daokun, the governor of Songjiang, was old and sick, so he submitted a memorial to beg for his bones to become an official." Zhang Juzheng talked about the first thing, which was very similar to Zhang Juzheng's expiration. Wang Daokun was almost nine years old. The period has expired.
After serving as a foreign official for a long time, he returned to Beijing. According to Wang Daokun's resume, he should be transferred to the Sixth Ministry of Finance when he returned to Beijing, just like Zhang Xueyan, who became the Minister of Household Affairs after he came to Beijing from the governor of Liaodong.
Wang Daokun’s intention to become an official was not sincere. He wanted to make progress. He just reminded the court according to the memorial in the process that it was time for him to make progress. If the court did not intend to let him progress, it would approve the memorial to become an official. This way everyone is decent.
Wang Daokun is a descendant of a well-known Huizhou merchant family. He is from a serious and noble family. When he was young, he took nearly two hundred literati from Huguang, Sanwu, and Zhejiang to travel around and make friends. He liked opera and poetry. In the 42nd year of Jiajing, when Hu Zongxian was deposed due to the case, Wang Daokun founded the Xin'an Poetry School and was regarded as one of the leaders in the literary world.
Wang Daokun is a member of Hu Zongxian. When he was the county magistrate in Yiwu, he and Qi Jiguang formed guest troops. In Fujian, he and Qi Jiguang fought against the enemy. They planned day and night and waited for the day to come. The removal in the 42nd year of Jiajing was Because he ran around for Hu Zongxian, cried out, wrote books and complained about injustice, he hated Xu Jie.
Wang Daokun went to Songjiang to be governor just to deal with Xu Jie.
"Go back to Beijing and take charge of the Ministry of Industry." Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and let Wang Daokun continue to make progress.
The reason is very simple. Wang Daokun's position on major issues is very clear. In the sixth year of Wanli, Emperor Zhu Yijun of the Ming Dynasty issued an edict to relocate wealthy households to enrich the capital. Wang Daokun persuaded his father to move his family.
The position of the prominent families of the Ming Dynasty was not always firmly opposed to the imperial power.
The Ministry of Industry has too many things to do, and Guo Chaobin, an honest man, is a bit overwhelmed.
"The Duke of Southwest Guizhou reported that Mang Yinglong of Dongxu was injured and suffered from many illnesses." Zhang Juzheng spoke of the Dongxu Dynasty with a solemn expression.
Mang Yinglong, the conqueror of ten directions, succeeded to the throne as King of Toungoo in the 29th year of Jiajing, and successively destroyed Ava, Shan State and Chiang Mai, punched Laos, kicked Siam, and in Mang Yinglong In his hands, the Toungoo dynasty expanded rapidly.
The memorial was circulated to the court officials, and everyone knew the specific reason for the injury.
Goncalo Vaz, the captain of the Red-haired Banners, rebelled in Bago City, the capital of Toungoo. One hundred and twenty Red-haired Banners fought against two thousand Toungoo elephant soldiers. Toungoo was defeated miserably, and then the two sides fought in Mada There was a naval battle in Banwan. The Hong Mao Fan had two ships. Toungoo fought with 16 warships. The Hong Mao Fan once again won.
Mang Yinglong, the king of Donghu, was injured in the Battle of Bago. After hearing about such a humiliating defeat, he was so angry that he fell ill in a fit of anger.
"Is the Hong Mao Fan so powerful?" Zhu Yijun really didn't think the Hong Mao Fan's army was that strong.
During the Jiajing period, Emperor Jiajing beheaded the Portuguese envoy Huozhe Yasan. The relationship between the two sides has been tense and there have been various collisions. Especially in the early years of Wanli, when Yin Zhengmao drove away the Hongmao Fan from Haojing, there was no difficulty at all. Word.
One hundred and twenty people fought against two thousand, and they won a great victory. Two ships against sixteen ships, and they were still completely victorious. No matter how you look at it, it looks like the red-haired fan is playing Wushuang, and he also won.
“That’s when we met the Ming Navy.” Qi Jiguang explained with a smile. The opponents were different, so their combat power was different. Zhang Yuanxun, the Yingyang Marquis, relied on the strong ships and powerful cannons to hold down Menei. Seth beats.
The merchant ships belonging to the Goa Governor's Palace can carry Mang Yinglong.
Zhang Juzheng took out another memorial and said: "This red-haired captain Gongkaluo went to Bago, the capital of Toungoo (now Myanmar), with the purpose of persuading King Toungoo to attack the Ming Dynasty from land. Threatening the towns in Yunnan during the Ming Dynasty, the two sides hit it off immediately. However, Mang Yinglong's son, Mang Yingli, coveted Gongkaluo's goods and wanted to rob them. This led to the Battle of Bago."
"Huh? ”
The ministers all looked at Zhang Juzheng, slightly sluggish. The development trend of things is always unpredictable. Mang Yinglong is very good at fighting. Ming Dynasty has always been very clear about it, and also supports this Meng Yinglong. Chief Gong and Meng Yang fought twice with Mang Yinglong, and they both lost and won. Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand, pressed it down and said: "Sir, I am aware that the Governor-General of Goa has been losing ground in the Strait of Malacca, so he sent his own captain to Toungoo to talk to King Toungoo about the great cause of conquering the Ming Dynasty together."
“Yes.”
"Wang Mang Yinglong of Toungoo had a great conversation with Captain Goncalo. The two parties hit it off immediately and talked happily over wine." Zhu Yijun clapped his hands and continued to ask.
“Yes, the rise of Mang Yinglong, when he attacked the former Bago Kingdom, he had a sworn relationship with the Hong Mao Fan. He once hired Hong Mao Fan mercenaries and learned firecrackers and artillery from the Hong Mao Fan. The relationship between the two parties is quite good. Although there have been some conflicts, we can always communicate." Zhang Juzheng added the background. When Mang Yinglong was not successful in attacking Bai Gucheng, he hired Hongmao Fan.
Zhu Yijun frowned and continued: "The situation was originally very good. Mang Yinglong's son, Mang Yingli, wanted to snatch the Hong Mao Fan, but the Hong Mao Fan refused, so there was a conflict? Wasn't this a conflict? There is no logic at all."
"These gifts from Hongmaofan were originally intended for King Toungoo." The memorial in Zhang Juzheng's hand was presented by Wang Xiyuan, the censor of Yunnan Qiandu. Wang Xiyuan belonged to Zhang Juzheng. The direct lineage once played a vanguard role in the decisive battle with Gao Gong. In the third year of Wanli, he went to Yunnan to supervise the minting of Yunnan copper coins.
Wang Xiyuan's information is very comprehensive. What stands out about the whole thing is a magic. What stands out about the robbery in Mang Yingli is a man who does whatever he wants.
Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said: "This conflict is inexplicable. Is it a tactic of suspicion? Deliberately making Ming Dynasty relax its vigilance?"
"Your Majesty, since Mang Yinglong was seriously ill, The whole Taungu is falling apart. "Zhang Juzheng didn't think it was a ploy. Mang Yinglong was the king of Taungu. He was seriously ill and people were worried. Many hereditary chieftains had begun to prepare to leave Donggu as soon as Mang Yinglong died. Xu, and even several chieftains contacted the Duke of Guizhou, hoping that the Ming Dynasty could take advantage of the turmoil and move south to Taungu.
The source of the information is very reliable. It is from Yue Feng, a close minister of Mang Yinglong and a native of Longchuan, Yunnan. This is a two-faced scum, but the information has been verified by many parties and is very accurate.
"Mang Yingli has no virtue and is not a king." Zhang Juzheng thought about it and evaluated Mang Yingli.
This guy started fighting with his father when he was 13 years old. He is murderous and kills prisoners like chickens. He often advances without warning, causing the battle situation to fall into danger. He is extremely arrogant. He originally surrendered to Mang Yinglong. The leader of Mu State was Hanba because Mangyingli left Taungu again.
Acting wildly and boldly, this is what a typical born nobleman without any restraint looks like.
Without the restraint of the emperor and the queen mother, King Zhu Yili of Lu would probably have become that ridiculous.
“After Mang Yinglong’s fifty-year campaign, the entire outside of Yunnan was under his control. The glorious Toungu dynasty, after Mang Yinglong’s death, will Mang Yingli be able to inherit it? Da Ren? At least most of the Dongyu chieftains don't think so." Zhang Juzheng submitted a pile of memorials to the emperor.
Zhu Yijun read the memorials of the Duke of Guizhou and Yunnan for a long time before he fully recognized Zhang Juzheng's statement.
"The Duke of Guizhou, Mu Changzuo, the governor of Yunnan, Liu Shizeng, the political counselor Zhao Rui, the deputy envoy Hu Xinde, the minister Yang Jixi, the Sichuan general Liu Xian and others all said to prevent changes in the southwest." Zhu Yijun's finger was on There was constant banging on the table.
Very interesting, they are all Han Chinese.
In his memorial, Liu Shizeng, the governor of Yunnan, impeached the Duke of Guizhou as usual, saying that the Duke of Guizhou had annexed numerous annexations, and in the sixth year of Wanli, the Duke of Guizhou occupied 17,993 hectares. In the seventh year of Wanli, the Duke of Guizhou occupied 17,993 acres. 11,171 hectares and 54 acres were discovered, and after two years of clearing, a total of 29,135 hectares, or more than 2.91 million acres, were discovered.
In the memorial written by Mu Changzuo, the Duke of Guizhou, he apologized very simply and declared all his family's property. There were 360 areas in total including Tiantu, Tuntian, Muzhuang and Pushu. 43,214 hectares, or 4.32 million acres of land.
Xu Jie only acquired 400,000 acres in his lifetime. The Duke of Guizhou acquired 4.3 million acres of land in Yunnan. This was the first time that the imperial court clearly knew what the Duke of Guizhou had occupied. How much fertile land.
What is more interesting is that the court turned a deaf ear to this, and Liu Shizeng was impeached as usual. This kind of encroachment was tacitly approved by the court. How did the chieftains in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou slowly die out in two hundred years? The Duke of Guizhou did it.
According to the usual practice, if the Ming Dynasty wanted to use troops against Taungu, all the military rations needed for the troops would be paid for by Mu Gongzi, the Duke of Guizhou.
Zhu Yijun stopped his fingers and said: "This Mang Yingli is so bold. Once Mang Yinglong dies, the southwest of the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos. To ensure the stability of the southwest, all civil and military officials in Yunnan and Sichuan have requested orders to prepare for war. Be on guard and wait for the danger, next chapter Yunnan, always be prepared.”
The judgments of the officials in Yunnan and Sichuan were very accurate. In history, this mangyingli chose the most courageous way to die and attacked the Ming Dynasty.
His father Mang Yinglong did not dare to do this, but Mang Yingli did it. After being beaten violently by the Ming Dynasty, the Taungu dynasty, which had been tyrannical for a while, fell apart.
"Can we attack from the sea?" Tan Lun stood up, pointed to the location of the Strait of Malacca and said: "If we can completely control the Strait of Malacca within three years and attack Bago from the sea, the Ming Dynasty frontier army, The navy, advancing on both land and water, attacked and destroyed it in one fell swoop. "
"Da Sima, we were just discussing preparations for war," Wang Guoguang reminded Tan Lun. They were just discussing how to prevent the civil strife in Dongyu from spreading to the Ming Dynasty. As a result, the representatives of the radical faction Tan Lun directly discussed the attack.
"Isn't the best defense to attack? In order to secure the throne, Mangyingli will definitely try his best to fight against the Ming Dynasty. If he can win, he will surely secure his throne. Since he wants to fight, Then beat him to death." Tan Lun said matter-of-factly.
The seedlings in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou are closely related to the various chieftains in Toungoo. This mangy Yingli provoked the Ming Dynasty and escaped unscathed. Those chieftains must have thoughts that they shouldn't have. That's when the time comes. In case of serious disaster, beating Mangyingli to death with one punch is the most appropriate solution.
Mang Yinglong is indeed very good at fighting, but he is about to die. Judging from various sources, Mang Yinglong will definitely die if he is injured and sick at his age.
“It is a good strategy to advance both by water and land.” Qi Jiguang looked at the Kanyu map and his eyes lit up. In Qi Jiguang’s view, the Three Propaganda and Six Welfares in the southwest frequently caused chaos. Since there is this opportunity, it is the best strategy to completely eliminate it. .
The expansion speed of the Ming Navy is far faster than that of the Ming Army. It is not a bad idea to add the Governor's Palace of Nagasaki, the Sixth Ryukyu Palace, the Governor's Palace of Luzon, the Governor's Palace of Old Port, and the Governor's Palace of Burma.
“It would cost tens of thousands of people to spend a lot of money and transfer half of the world’s salary, which may not be good for the country.” Wang Guoguang still did not agree with the use of force in the southwest. During the Zhengtong years, he conquered Luchuan in all directions and directly defeated the imperial court. Even the capital camp was We were dispatched, but in the end there was no result.
“That’s why we have to advance both by land and water.” Tan Lun pointed at the Kan map and continued: “The chieftains of the southwest have been provoking one after another. Isn’t it because there are many water dense forests and the hot weather makes it difficult for the Ming army to penetrate deeply? What if? We marched by land and water, sent troops from the old port, and went straight to Bago, its capital. Its support was nothing but a joke. "
There are many dense forests, and if you are stupid, you will go into the forest. The Ming Dynasty will attack, and eventually have to retreat. It is true. The dense tropical rainforest makes conquest difficult, but if we attack directly from the sea and take its hinterland, this problem is not a problem.
What Tan Lun said aroused heated discussions among the courtiers, and finally reached an agreement. They ordered to prepare for war. If there is an invasion, repel it. If the Strait of Malacca can be conquered, then we can advance by sea and land to solve the problem once and for all. Issues left over from history.
Mang Yingli is forty-four years old. He started joining the army when he was thirteen, but he has never been able to learn from his father's skills.
Wang Guoguang twisted his tongue a little, discussed it with Zhang Xueyan, and then chose to agree. The reason for agreeing was beyond the expectations of Zhu Yijun, Zhang Juzheng and others, for the sake of his father-in-law.
In the three provinces of Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, the Qingzhang work is very difficult. There are too many toasts here, and the backlash for Qingzhang will be huge. If Taungu can be suppressed, then the Qingzhang work in these three provinces will not be so difficult, and there is no need to When the imperial court raised funds for grain transshipment, the Ministry of Household Affairs had little objection.
After Tan Lun heard that the Ministry of Revenue agreed, he sat down and said a few words to Qi Jiguang. The imperial temple plan was mainly a strategy. The specific implementation required the governors and general soldiers of Yunnan and Sichuan, as well as Luzon and The Governor's Palace of Old Port formulated a battle plan, which could only be carried out after the imperial court approved it.
Mang Yinglong is sick, but not dead yet. It takes time to prepare for war, and there is still plenty of time. It will not take real action until at least ten years after Wanli.
A big war does not start haphazardly with just one order. It is an act of the Mingbao Sect. Zhu Qi's personal expedition to Tumubao took a total of seven days from Xiazhang's Ministry of War to Yujia's personal expedition. Zhu Di's personal expedition took at least three years to prepare.
Wang Guoguang stood up and stood in front of Kanyu Tu and said: "The Chi Road from the capital to Datong in Xuanfu must be built. If it is repeated in the future, it will be from Datong to Guihua City, and from Guihua City to Guihua City. It is most convenient to enter the Hetao. If there is no Chi Road, you will lose the Hetao again. "
The court officials have long reached an agreement on the construction of this Chi Road. It is inevitable to wait for the Chi Road to be repaired. , it only took three days for the capital camp of the Ming Dynasty to reach Datong, Xuanfu. The soldiers were very fast. With this road, it would be difficult for the northern captives to succeed.
Wang Chonggu looked at the map of Kanyu. After the Chi Road was built, it would be difficult for the northern barbarians to become a leader, and the Jin party would also be beaten. If there was any disobedience, the heavenly soldiers and generals would arrive at the door the next day.
Wang Chonggu said: "Jingxuan and Jingyun Chidao, the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Accounting need at least 12.2 million silver. In five years, 2.44 million silver will be needed in one year. , Your Majesty, I have discussed with the prominent families in Jin and found that the section from the capital to Juyongguan costs a total of 3.2 million silver. I have discussed with the prominent families in Jin and found that I can afford 1.8 million silver. After all, it is for the thoroughfare of Jin. "
"Although it's not much, it's just a sign of respect."
Wang Chonggu said it was 1.8 million silver. The most expensive road on this road is from the capital to Juyongguan. Duan, the Jin Party paid half of the money. This is a donation and a pledge. This Chi Road must be built. It is an established fact and cannot be changed. So just contribute money and efforts. Anyway, if you can't defeat it, you might as well surrender early. You can also get better surrender terms.
"Good." Wang Guangguang's eyes lit up, the money from the Jin Party came at just the right time.
The Jin Party has its own considerations. Once this Chi Road is built, coal from Datong and livestock fur from Xuanfu can flow into the capital very smoothly. The development of Xuanfu and Datong in Dali will be integrated into the Ming Dynasty. Success, great benefit to Shanxi merchants.
The Jin Party is not determined to rebel and go against the imperial court. This path is completely beneficial than harmful.
1.8 million silver is indeed a lot, but that's not how the accounts are calculated. The ship tickets are not included in the income from buying and selling tickets. The dividend alone is more than 300,000 silver. Add in the dividend from Kaihai Investment, 1.8 million silver is really not that much. Yes, your majesty will do what you say when it comes to dividends, and your ministers must also be respectful and reciprocate, otherwise the monarch and his ministers will be dishonorable.
Your Majesty will only lose face if you are used to being dishonorable. A noble family will not only lose face.
“From Jizhou to Daningwei and then to Duanchi Road in Yingchang, there are many opponents.” Wang Guoguang’s hand crossed the Kan map. This opponent included Wang Guoguang, Zhang Xueyan, Hai Rui, Li Youzi, etc. People are too expensive, expensive to repair, expensive to maintain, and there is no need.
"Your Majesty, why don't you build it from Jizhou to Daningwei first, and then take a look after it's completed?" Zhang Juzheng thought for a long time and chose a compromise.
This route can be repaired but not completed until it reaches Daningwei. It will be enough in a short time. The white soil from Daningwei is useful in all walks of life. This will provide sufficient Let everyone explain the conditions, and if there is really a need in the future, it will not be too late to repair it.
Zhu Yijun no longer insisted, nodded and said: "Good, as the teacher said."
He really wanted to go to Yingchang to practice, but the Ming Dynasty could not afford it. Taoism is wrong and poverty is the problem of the Ming Dynasty.
The land tax of the Ming Dynasty is still the largest part, accounting for about 80%, while the commercial tax is only 20%. As long as the national tax is still based on agricultural tax, it is unaffordable to carry out large-scale construction and road construction.
The commercial taxes of the Ming Dynasty have increased year by year, but this is only the eighth year of Wanli, and Zhu Yijun is only eighteen years old. He can wait until the Ming Dynasty's finances become healthier and the proportion of commercial taxes increases to about 70%. Xiuchi Road is affordable.
This is not a distant thing. In the first year of Wanli, the proportion of commercial tax in the Ming Dynasty was less than 5%. In the seventh year of Wanli, it has already reached more than 25%.
