Chapter 474 Your Majesty gave too much
At the beginning of the New Year in the tenth year of Wanli, the Ming Emperor still supported the New Deal, and for the New Deal and some money, he almost restored the ancestral laws of the Yongle period. Completely The official ship and official trade must completely take away the huge profits from sea trade!
Fortunately, this perverse approach was stopped by the Kedao Yanguan who was loyal to the emperor and the country. All people with lofty ideals spoke up and remonstrated, which finally made the emperor clearly aware of the impact of this kind of decree on sea trade. Damage, regained life, and made sea trade more free.
This was a great victory for Kedao Yanguan. While everyone was celebrating this victory, the Ming Dynasty changed the ship's lead and began to implement it in the five major shipping companies.
On the 16th day of the first lunar month, Pan Jixun, the left minister of the Ministry of Works of Yingtian, the governor of the Ming Dynasty, was waiting in front of the Nine Dragon Wall, waiting for the announcement of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He stood in front of the imperial center, and he was qualified to do so uprightly. Sitting in the Wenhua Palace, as the Ming Gong of the empire.
But he did not stay here, but chose to go to Suiyuan. Hetao was the land recovered by the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, Pan Jixun can still regret. His Majesty recruited him back to Beijing this time to report on his duties. If Pan Jixun regrets at this time, everyone can understand that at the center of the empire, Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years, and once he was on the gold list After decades of stumbling over the title, I finally qualified to step here.
Wenhua Hall is the long-cherished wish of all scholars.
The spring wind makes people feel a bit bit cold, blowing Pan Jixun's court clothes rustling. Pan Jixun has a tall frame, but is very thin, his cheeks are somewhat sunken, and his eyes are like torches.
He will not go back on his word. He is going to Suiyuan, to control the Hetao, and to control the Loess Plateau. Having served as the governor of the river for a long time, he is very aware of the harm caused by the Yellow River.
Every time the dragon of the Yellow River sways its tail, it will bring devastating disasters to the North China Plain. Every time its banks burst, large tracts of land will be saline and alkaline. Towns will be flooded, people will be displaced, and plagues will soon spread. , people died on the roadside, Pan Jixun saw it again and again. In the past, there was no chance to cure it, but now, the opportunity was placed in front of him.
Pan Jixun can't wait.
"Pan Jixun, governor of Xuanyingtian, comes to see you." The voice of Tianyu Lun came from the small yellow gate. Pan Jixun climbed up the stairs and walked into the Wenhua Hall under the inspection of Tishuai.
Pan Jixun bowed five times and kowtowed three times, bowed solemnly, and said in a submissive voice: "Your Majesty, Pan Jixun, pays homage to your Majesty. Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
"Quickly excuse me, Governor Pan, let’s meet again. "Zhu Yijun's smile was as warm as the spring breeze, and he said in a rather brisk tone: "At the end of the third year of Wanli, Governor Pan returned to Beijing to report on his duties. It has been five years since we left. I still remember Governor Pan's demeanor that day." (Chapter 175.) )
The sunny and cheerful emperor always makes people feel like spring breeze.
At the end of the third year of Wanli, Pan Jixun returned to Beijing to report on his duties. Zhu Yijun met him at Huangjimen. "Meet the River Guan" was put into the display window of Engineering by Zhu Yijun.
Many, many books have been placed in the window of the side hall of Wenhua Palace, which are the outlines of Wanli's New Deal.
At that time, Zhu Yijun asked how to bind the Zhuolong, and Pan Jixun asked, can we talk about this complicated issue? We can't talk about it. Confining water and flushing sand can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. Zhu Yijun said to Pan Jixun at that time, it can Talked, could reply, and gave clear answers.
Now, the Hetao has been recovered.
Emperor Ming once again kept his promise and fulfilled his original promise.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Pan Jixun stood up. The last time we met, His Majesty was still thirteen or fourteen years old. Now that we meet again, he is already handsome and as strong as an ox.
Zhu Yijun motioned Pan Jixun to sit down and said, "Governor Pan, sir, I have recommended you to be Shao Sikong to the Ministry of Works to help Da Sikong. What do you think of Governor Pan?"
That is Shao Sikong. Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, this is Ming Gong. He can do what he wants. In the capital, he can also control the floods of the Yellow River.
The first person to support Pan Jixun was Gao Gong. Later, after Gao Gong's defeat, Pan Jixun was uneasy, but Zhang Juzheng wrote to him, asking him to continue to manage the Yellow River well. The disputes in the court had nothing to do with Xunli. Then Zhang Juzheng gave full power to control floods in the Yellow River to Pan Jixun, who was given greater power than when Gao Gong was there. Pan Jixun became Zhang's party from then on.
Zhu Yijun always thought that Pan Jixun had the reputation of Quan Chu Guild Hall, but later he found out that he did not.
There is no Zhang Party. It is just a group of people who intend to revive the Ming Dynasty. They spontaneously gathered together and tried to use the Quanchu Guild Hall as a link to connect each other closely in an attempt to turn the tide and help the Ming Dynasty to revive. , it’s just a cliche story of final failure.
If you ask Pan Jixun if he has ever thought about staying in Jingtang, of course he has, but in the end he bowed his head and said: "I still want to go to Suiyuan, and I would like to ask your majesty to make it happen. Hetao has been occupied since the Tianshun period. In the past few years since the invasion by the Northern Barbarians, the landscape of the country has changed. Only by practicing hard can we achieve perfection."
"Yuan Fu once said that a gentleman should learn by practicing hard and respect quality. Only by doing things sincerely and not by talking can we achieve great results."
Zhang Juzheng and Pan Jixun wrote many letters and mentioned that the only way to achieve success is to seek truth from facts.
Zhu Yijun said with a slight regret: "I intend to keep Aiqing at my side. Since I have decided to love you, I can't stop Aiqing from being loyal to the emperor and the country. From today on, Suiyuan, the governor of Aiqing's processing department, will serve as Suiyuan." The head of military affairs. "
The governor has greater power than the governor and is the real local leader. The governor is generally recommended by the six ministers or assistant ministers. The governor and the general are both controlled by the governor. They are different from senior officials. The governor's left and right deputy censors are usually the left and right censors or ministers, so they are also called: the most important person in Wen Shuai.
The governor is a Beijing official sent by the imperial court, but he serves as a local official and is the real official of the frontier.
In other words, after the departure of Beijing Camp, all matters in Suiyuan were handled by Pan Jixun. Suiyuan is a very special place. Hu and Han lived together. After being abandoned during the Tianshun period, it took decades to return. In the Ming Dynasty, without enough power, Pan Jixun could not accomplish anything.
"I thank you for your kindness." Pan Jixun saluted again and accepted the seal ribbon sent by Feng Bao.
Pan Jixun presided over the management of the Yellow River four times. From the 44th year of Jiajing to the 20th year of Wanli, he worked conscientiously. His water control concept has been used for more than 300 years. Those who discuss the river in the future must follow it. It is also a golden branch.
After becoming an official, Pan Jixun suffered from rheumatism and hemiplegia not long after leaving the capital. He died of illness in Wucheng County, Huzhou in the 23rd year of Wanli. However, because Pan Jixun was a descendant of Zhang Juzheng, Emperor Wanli did not even give Pan Jixun a posthumous title. , official burial, official promotion, grace, none of them!
It was not until the forty-seventh year of Wanli that Emperor Wanli, who had reached the end of his life, remembered Pan Jixun's arrival when the Yellow River flooded again, and ordered an official burial, but still did not give him a posthumous title.
People like Pan Jixun have a special title, pure minister, very pure, he just wants to manage the Yellow River well.
Pan Jixun was sitting in the Wenhua Hall for court discussion, and then he realized that he was not going to Suiyuan alone, but had brought the emperor's imperial edict to act cheaply. In addition, he also had eleven million silver. It is specially used for the mining of Tongshan and Yinshan coal mines in Datong, Shengzhou and Womagang. There are also three military guards with a total of 76,000 troops who have moved to Hetao and are stationed there. In addition, there are also three years of tax exemption.
"Is there anything missing?" Zhu Yijun looked at Pan Jixun and asked.
"Your Majesty, there are too many, too many." Pan Jixun quickly bowed his head and said. He never expected that His Majesty would give so much support. After being away from the temple for a long time, Pan Jixun did not know how powerful the imperial court was. , to be honest, he planned to go alone, but His Majesty gave people money, grain, seeds, and real money and silver support.
Hell mode suddenly changed into simple mode, leaving Pan Jixun in a trance.
The reason why so much silver is needed is for the development of Suiyuan Chi Road. When the silver reaches Suiyuan, merchants will carry goods there. Silver is a general equivalent and can promote the circulation of goods, just like the imperial court The logic of issuing border army salaries in kind is just a variant of the method of opening up China.
With this amount of money, if Pan Jixun wanted to, with his power and skill, he could actually get more than 100 million yuan. Zhu Yijun gave so much, which also gave Tan Mo redundancy. Of course, Zhu Yijun believed in Pan Jixun's character, but there was When I was young, if I wanted to do something, I couldn't do it without money. If I didn't have rice in my hand, I wouldn't be able to do anything.
Real support.
"I will live up to the emperor's grace." Pan Jixun did not say so many beautiful words, but made a promise to live up to the emperor's grace.
What's the use of talking so much nonsense? It just depends on the actual performance.
“My dear, this new restoration of Suiyuan is indistinguishable from opening up. Naturally, there are all kinds of demons and monsters at work, which must be attacked and destroyed with thunderous means. But there are also gentle means, and a combination of hardness and softness, in order to overcome them. Only if they are harmonious can they serve the country." Zhu Yijun reminded Pan Jixun of his way of doing things.
Pan Jixun was an upright man and served as governor in Jiangxi. There was a locust plague in Jiangxi. Pan Jixun asked big households to open warehouses and release grain for relief. Those who refused to follow were killed. If Ling Yunyi had not shouldered the reputation of being a murderer, I am afraid Pan Jixun would have been killed. He is the one who bears the title of murderer.
Pan Jixun is the kind of minister who works hard. If the governor can't rub a little sand out of his eyes, all kinds of weird things are likely to happen in that place. Thunderous methods are inevitable. Pan Jixun does not lack this kind of decisiveness. Zhu Yijun just reminded that firmness and softness cannot be combined. Economic.
"I sincerely obey your Majesty's teachings." Pan Jixun bowed his head again and thanked the emperor for his reminder.
Pan Jixun did not leave, and the court discussion continued.
"The governor of the Luzon Governor's Mansion, whose surname is Zhengmao, has come to report." Zhang Juzheng said with a very complicated expression: "Yin Butang reminded the court that it is time to collect taxes."
" Taxes? What taxes?" Wang Guangguang said with eyes shining.
Zhang Juzheng handed the memorial to Wang Guoguang and said: "Luzon, Cebu, and Mindanao, the Luzon Governor's Palace has been built since the first year of Wanli, and the expedition has ended. Yin Butang said: The imperial court has never asked I asked you, I am worried and worried, how can your Majesty abandon me overseas and ignore it?"
"Yin Butang asked Lu Song to build a tax house and an overseas inspection department to specialize in tax inspection and inspection of overseas goods. ”
Wang Guoguang opened the memorial and handed it to Zhang Xueyan after reading it. Both Situ’s expressions were excited. The Ming court had never had any tax issues with the Luzon Governor’s Mansion. Most of the imperial court’s dealings with the overseas Governor’s Mansion were Huairou's methods and this issue of taxation cannot be discussed by the court. It is one of those topics that cannot be touched.
After all, Luzon is far away overseas. If you ask, if you hold a grudge, let alone being of the same mind as the Ming Dynasty, it is not beautiful to be alienated.
The Nine Classics of the Country embrace the princes.
But this time, the Luzon Governor-General finally took the initiative to mention the matter.
The reasons why Yin Zhengmao mentioned this matter were also written very clearly. First, after hearing about his children’s in-laws, His Majesty actually had a headache for money, expanded the Yanxinglou Trading House, and even borrowed money from the private sector. Immediately submit a report asking whether it is possible that His Majesty has forgotten Luzon, and what crimes have been committed by the people of Luzon that His Majesty has ignored! To be honest, the emperor's relatives in the Ming Dynasty were extremely over-acting. They were never the emperor's help. Instead, they kept tossing in all kinds of trivial matters, making the emperor exhausted from wiping his butt. Zhu Yijun really didn't think of looking for relatives. It's about borrowing money.
The second reason is that the war in Luzon has ended, and the Hong Mao Fan’s Davao office in Mindanao has been de-armed and specializes in maritime trade communication. It means that the state of war has ended, and the Luzon Governor's Mansion has returned to normal from the war, so the tax issue must be discussed proactively. If the court asks, there is no need to be submissive.
The third reason is that Luzon, which has many islands, needs the help of the imperial court, because smuggled ships are increasing and pirates come and go without a trace, so it needs the support and support of the imperial court's coastal defense inspections. We found out that Luzon was unable to collect taxes and there were not so many accountants to collect taxes, so we asked the court for support.
Zhang Juzheng’s floating notes tell His Majesty that the first two are true and the last one is false.
When Chen Chengyi, the General Office of Luzon Tongxiang returned to Beijing last year, he introduced the situation in Luzon in detail. Luzon was indeed short of people, but it was far from the point where it was necessary to ask for help from the imperial court. Luzon Seven There are more than a thousand islands, and there is no shortage of surfers or sailors there. Moreover, there are shipyards in Luzon, so it is possible to build a few hydrofoil sailboats.
Zhang Juzheng judged that Yin Zhengmao’s real purpose was to make the Marquis of Sishui of Luzon hereditary and retire with the country. The Marquis of Sishui was one of the few marquis stationed in the area under his jurisdiction. He was a real land enfeoffment. This situation could only There is the Duke's Mansion of Qian State in Yunnan.
Not every generation has talents like Yin Zhengmao. Once the descendants are unworthy, it is not a big deal to be ignored, but everyone in the family will be in danger. Therefore, lean against a big tree to enjoy the shade, and hug Ming Dynasty’s thigh tightly, even if Even if the descendants are unworthy, it’s not too bad. At worst, they can move back to the Ming Dynasty!
Yin Zhengmao thinks clearly and pragmatically.
"Divide it into 50% and 50%." Wang Guangguang looked at the memorial and said with a little helplessness. Now he has to find Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the place should be lucky to the capital, and when the capital is used, it has to be lucky to the place. This back and forth is quite troublesome. Therefore, it was decided that the ancestral law was roughly divided into five and five points, half for the court and half for the local area.
"Just fifty-fifty." Zhu Yijun approved the share ratio. The Overseas Governor's Mansion cannot ask for too much.
The one-whip method that Zhang Juzheng was thinking about actually betrayed Zhu Yuanzhang’s 50-50 split. The calculation of the one-whip method was not complicated. In the end, it was 75% for the court and 25% for the local government. Therefore, once the one-whip method was promoted, It was also very difficult, and there was not enough silver to support a complete currency tax, and there was no conflict between Zhang Juzheng and the emperor, so the whip method was never implemented.
From physical tax to monetary tax, this is a big step in the tax system of the Ming Dynasty. The tax system reform of the Ming Dynasty is different from the whip method in history. It started from the Chaoguan branch in Chidao.
“After the physical goods arrive in Songjiang Prefecture, they will be converted into silver at the Songjiang Prefecture Shipping Department, and then divided into parts. The Luzon part will be converted into goods and shipped to Manila.” Zhang Xueyan added details, Luzon is far from developing to implement currency At the tax stage, it was still in kind, and when it arrived at Songjiang Mansion, it was cashed out. What was shipped again was not silver, but goods.
Under the profits tax, if you want to take the silver out, you will have to pay a 50% profits tax.
"Return the fields." When Wang Chonggu mentioned this matter, his voice became a little lower. He looked around and said: "The shipping departments of the five major cities have all set up the matter of exchanging fields for ships. Your Majesty, The minister believes that it is not appropriate to sell the land to the public prematurely, temporarily use it as official land, and recruit landless refugees to obtain land rent from the official land to supply the navy. It can only be withdrawn, not traded. "
"This withdrawal is for the navy. What do you mean?" Zhang Juzheng asked curiously.
Wang Chonggu replied: "You cannot buy or sell, but the people who cultivate official land are also allowed to move. To push back means to replace the retreat."
"That's it." Zhang Juzheng suddenly realized and smiled. Laughing, without much discussion, Wang Chonggu handed the memorial to Feng Bao, and Feng Bao passed it to the emperor for sealing.
Everyone was silent and pretended that this incident had not happened. Pan Jixun's face was filled with confusion. What happened?
It can only be withdrawn but cannot be bought or sold, which restricts the transfer of cadastral land deeds. This leads directly to the third step of returning land. Land is collectively owned, or publicly owned. It seems to prevent official land from being bought and sold. The transfer caused losses to the court, but in fact it was to realize the return of the land step by step.
The Dukes of the Ming Dynasty were quarreling with each other in order to return the land, and even changed their camps several times. They were all tired of the quarrel. Wang Chonggu's vague words could only be withdrawn, and no trading was allowed. The court officials all knew Wang Chonggu's plan. What is the purpose? This is simply a sneak attack.
Compared with Zhang Juzheng's domineering and aboveboard behavior, people like Wang Chonggu must be careful and careful. If you are not careful, you will be fooled.
Hai Rui and Pan Jixun sat close to each other and explained the stakes in a low voice. Pan Jixun's eyes widened. He had heard about the previous turmoil. Pan Jixun really thought that the imperial court was crazy about poverty and wanted to destroy Hai Rui. The interests of the trade were completely in the hands of the imperial court, and it was finally stopped because of too much opposition.
The truth turned out to be like this!
Shi Yaohaoyou stared at the huge profits from sea trade, and Wang Chonggu stared at Shi Yaohaoyou's lifeblood.
"Is Cifu always doing things like this? Is he so... so resourceful?" Pan Jixun asked Hai Rui in a low voice. He couldn't find a suitable word for a while. Cunning, cunning and scheming are very suitable, but It's really not suitable to say it in person.
Hai Rui thought for a while and nodded and said: "It has always been like this, but Wang Cifu is not Yuanfu's opponent."
The court meeting ended in a quarrel, and Zhu Yijun was already very optimistic about the liveliness of the court meeting. With great enthusiasm, after the court meeting, Zhu Yijun specially stayed with Wang Chonggu and Pan Jixun. After asking Wang Chonggu about the abolition of humble status and the return of land by the Shibo Division, he communicated with Pan Jixun about Suiyuan affairs.
When Wang Chonggu left the Wenhua Hall, his footsteps were extremely brisk. Tian Shu could be considered as having specific rules. Although it was just a butterfly flapping its wings, the fire had already been lit. Tian Shu was a fire and the field was flammable. Things, power and power are air, and poor people and coolies are also air. The fight for land, this invisible land war has begun.
But while Wang Chonggu was walking, he suddenly stood still and frowned. He realized that something was wrong. The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. He made a fist with his right hand and hit his left palm hard. A look of displeasure appeared on his face. With a look of disbelief, before he knew it, he had been fooled again! Fell into the trap of this guy Zhang Juzheng!
Wang Chonggu angrily walked into the Wenyuan Pavilion opposite the Wenhua Hall, and stood in front of Zhang Juzheng. The corners of his mouth twitched, his fists were clenched, and his veins were looming, and he asked in a low voice with suppressed anger. : "Zhang Juzheng, you are cheating on me again!"
Wang Chonggu was really furious when he called him by his name.
"Be patient, be patient, be patient, sit down and say, don't be so angry, I can't beat you." Zhang Juzheng said with the same smile as the emperor: "Wang Chonggu, let's They are also old rivals. From the Longqing period to the Wanli tenth year, it has been fifteen or sixteen years. There has been cooperation, confrontation, and life-and-death hatred. "
Zhang Siwei was executed by the clan, then. But when Wang Chonggu's nephew Zhang Siwei died, the young master suspected that the emperor relied on Zhang Juzheng's support. Without Zhang Juzheng's support, the emperor and the queen mother were just orphans and widowed mothers in the harem.
“But this time, I didn’t cheat you.” Zhang Juzheng said with great conviction.
"As I said before, I am the one who wrote "Ask for the Equalization of Fields", and you will do the specific implementation. This is in front of His Majesty. The job you took over has now fallen to me. On the head! I'm doing a census of Dingkou, abolishing the status of a humble person, and returning the land! You want to harm me!" Wang Chonggu clenched his fist and waved it hard.
"You're not afraid of those bitches counterattacking, I'm afraid! Have you forgotten about Xie Qian's descendants?"
Wang Chonggu mentioned an old incident. In the third year of Jiajing, Tao Ye He won a great victory in the Great Etiquette War and drove away Yang Tinghe, but this did not mean that Master Dao had completely controlled the court. From the third year of Jiajing to the sixth year of Jiajing, there were waves of opposition in the court. Later, Master Dao There was no other way, so I asked Xie Qian to come out.
Xie Qian's posthumous title was Wenzheng. He was the number one scholar in the eleventh year of Chenghua. He was the imperial master of Xiaozong and Wuzong. He was considered a very senior figure. Emperor Jiajing asked Xie Qian to join the cabinet in order to suppress the wave after wave of voices from the civil servants. Xie Qian finally Entering the cabinet represented his support for Emperor Jiajing.
Political struggle is very cruel. In the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing reign, all descendants of Xie Qian were killed by "Japanese pirates". Only the second son Xie Pi was away from home and was not spared. This was also the reason why Zhu Wan suddenly visited Zhejiang. The reason was that in the twenty-fifth year of the Jiajing reign, Zhu Wan, who had just been ordered to patrol southern Jiangxi, suddenly received an imperial edict to patrol Zhejiang. The Taoist master wanted to know the truth, but in the end Zhu Wan committed suicide to express his ambition, and Japanese plagues broke out everywhere.
Xie Qian was the first assistant of the posthumous title Wenzheng. The descendants of Xie Qian who lived in Yuyao County were killed in this way. The Yuyao County Magistrate said it was Japanese pirates, and that it was Xie Qian’s descendants and Japanese pirates. , uneven distribution of spoils leads to fatal disasters.
But Wang Chonggu has his own opinion on this matter. Wang Chonggu also did it to Tongwa Tongfan. Who Tongwa Tongfan did it in private in his own home? Moreover, the Japanese pirates came and went without a trace. After killing people, no prisoners were caught.
Of course Wang Chonggu is not sure that the massacre of Xie Qian's descendants is causally related to the original Xie Qian's entry into the cabinet to quell criticism, but Wang Chonggu is afraid.
Wang Chonggu was never Zhang Juzheng. He didn’t even dare to get involved in the cause and effect of the Census of Dingkou. But now, he got involved in something big and big, returning the land!
"No." Zhang Juzheng turned sideways and said: "In the past, to become an official, you had to return to your roots. Now, after we die, we all have to be buried in the Xishan Mausoleum. This is different. Why worry? Descendants also stayed in the capital for a long time."
Wang Chonggu was stunned, and then realized the difference in the problem. This is the capital, and it is indeed different from the past. There are indeed many things going on in the capital, but it is always at the feet of the emperor. , the main reason is that Wang Chonggu's situation is different from Xie Qian's. He is a top carnivore, and it is good for his family not to bully others.
“So, this is a good opportunity to go down in history.” Zhang Juzheng smiled warmly and mentioned a point that Wang Chonggu was most concerned about.
This matter was accomplished. Wang Chonggu later commented that he was a hero of the Wanli New Deal!
"Let me think about it for a moment." Wang Chonggu knew very well that he had been fooled. After a lot of back and forth, he became the executor of the equalization of farmland and the return of farmland. While shouldering the responsibility, he would also gain a reputation accordingly, even if it was true. If you fail, you will at most end up in an official position.
“I was originally opposed to the restoration of farmland.” Wang Chonggu said with great conviction: “To this day, I am still opposed!”
After Wang Chonggu dropped his firm attitude of still opposing, So he chose to leave Wenyuan Pavilion. Although he didn't fully agree, he still agreed. Wang Chonggu had no choice. He had already boarded the pirate ship and could not get off. He was staring at Shi Yaohao and Zhang Ju was staring at Wang Chonggu.
“I thought Wang Cifu would go crazy.” Wang Guoguang exclaimed, Wang Chonggu was really restrained by Zhang Juzheng, and he became the executor of Tianshu in a daze.
"He is mainly afraid of Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "I am indeed helping him. Wang Cifu has been trying to completely get rid of the name of traitorous minister in recent years. He is an arrogant minister, and Your Majesty has always been worried about it. He has a knot, and unless he does something earth-shattering, this knot cannot be completely untied. The guillotine may fall at any time, and he will be in panic all day long. "
" He doesn't want to be scolded for his reputation. Hundreds of years, thousands of years. "
As a treacherous minister, Wang Chonggu must do something big if he wants to completely atone for his sins. Firstly, for the sake of the whole family of the old Wang family, and secondly, for the sake of his posthumous reputation. He has sufficient motivation to do it, because his foundation is no longer the Jin Party, but the 150,000 craftsmen created by the government and factory.
Previously Wang Chonggu asked His Majesty, what force should be used to resist the counterattack of the crazy rural sages and gentry? At Wang Chonggu's feet, the 150,000 craftsmen are still expanding. When the scale becomes larger, even if they are against the torrent of rural gentry and gentry, Wang Chonggu's identity will change from the leader of the Jin Party to the leader of the Labor Party.
There are still too many uncertainties in the future, and Zhang Juzheng dare not make an immediate assertion. However, as the founder of the Labor Party, Wang Chonggu’s descendants have enough power to protect themselves.
Pan Jixun left the capital. When he left, he took with him a fifty-strong Tielin Army. They were dispatched as guards to Qi Jiguang, but in fact they were guards to protect Pan Jixun. Before leaving, Zhu Yijun gave Pan Jixun safety again.
For such a pure minister, Zhu Yijun felt that no matter how much he gave, it was not too much.
(End of this chapter)
