Chapter 524 The empire rises and falls in one fell swoop! Respect the king and fight against the barbarians, today!

Lin Fucheng’s point of view is very novel. The Ming Dynasty will perish due to the merger of the four clans. This view is quite clear even in the era of information explosion in later generations. In what way will the Ming Dynasty perish? Things make a difference when it becomes a talkable issue, and the more you talk about it, the less likely it is to happen.

This is the renewal of life. Zhu Yijun holds a supportive attitude towards any discussion that can renew the life of Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty is solving the four-valve problem discussed by Lin Fucheng little by little. Perhaps this is also the reason why Lin Fucheng can discuss it. If in the first year of Wanli, Lin Fucheng had just expressed his views, he would have been blocked. And it is very likely that he will shut up completely. Whether it is the original Jin Party or the masters in all aspects of the Ming Dynasty, they will try their best to silence Lin Fucheng's clamoring mouth.

This man is very annoying. Others are talking about Xiangzhi of the Ming Dynasty. He is the only one who is going against the trend with everyone else.

In Lin Fucheng's theory that the Ming Dynasty was too liberal, he discussed in detail the dangers of the merger of the four clans.

The Ming Dynasty’s guest army system will inevitably lead to the fact that local separatism occurs, because guest armies require a lot of investment, whether it is military equipment, food and salary, or maintenance costs, which are astronomical sums. The reason for the three thousand people.

However, the local control of strong troops will inevitably lead to a substantial reduction in taxes. If the tax revenue drops due to a huge financial loss, the imperial court will only become poorer and poorer. The generals who receive foreign troops from various places will have to 'find their own food and pay' , Yin Zhengmao, Ling Yunyi all made donations to varying degrees to powerful officials such as Hao Youxiangxianjingentry.

If this cycle continues, the local governor will become the governor of the Ming Dynasty, and the problem of vassal towns will arise.

So Qi Jiguang repeatedly emphasized that the military garrison system should never be abolished just because it was corrupt.

In the past ten years, on the issue of warlords, the Ming Dynasty paid equal attention to kindness and power. It solved the Jin party and prevented Li Chengliang from slipping to the warlords. It began to pay full pay to the border troops. Even if it was only in kind, the unity of people's hearts was priceless.

In terms of clans, the Confucius family in Yanzhou, the Yang family in Xindu, the Xu family in Songjiang, and the Zhang family in Puzhou, whether they are old nobles who have lasted for thousands of years or new nobles in the Ming Dynasty, have been executed by their clans one after another, which has effectively shocked all places. The powerful family members effectively prevented them from continuing to annex land, leading to chaos that made the people miserable.

For the Ming Dynasty, Lin Fucheng felt that the harm of the clans was minimal. The changes in the late Tang Dynasty. At that time, Huang Chao fought thousands of miles away and physically eliminated the clans. Later clans have learned from history. A sufficient lesson. Once the world is out of order, the rich but without the protection of strong force and order will be meat on the chopping board.

Vertically, there are historical lessons, and horizontally, there is the Ming Dynasty's policy of avoiding past mistakes and avoiding future ones, which allowed the clans to gradually converge.

The plutocrats that are parasitic on the imperial court, that is, the powerful right-wingers, wealthy businessmen, and rural gentry are also changing. Although the struggle between the Ming court and them continues, and this The contradiction will continue for a long time, but the imperial government's decrees are containing and regulating the contradiction.

Excessive freedom, the mergers of these plutocrats are taking money from the pockets of the court and His Majesty! In other words, it is using the public to enrich the private.

This contradiction is a contradiction of human nature and a long-term contradiction. It has existed since history and will exist for a long time. Before there is great material abundance, there will be no complete solution.

The seat-teacher system is a school clan. In Lin Fucheng’s magnificent article, the school clan born from the seat-teacher system is far more harmful than the other three clans. Lin Fucheng will learn the clan It is called the first of the four valves.

Because it is extremely fatal to the administrative power, it is also fatal to the court's talent selection. In other words, it is the most serious destruction of order.

"When will Master Lin not only talk about problems, but also come up with some solutions?" Zhu Yijun carefully collected Lin Fucheng's "Happy Anecdotes".

This book explores the dangers of excessive freedom.

"If Master Lin had his way, would he still be a pen writer among the people?" Feng Bao said cheerfully.

Master Lin has no way to deal with these things. He can only talk and talk. This is his position, and he will not overstep his authority and easily give instructions on the government orders of the court. He himself I can still clearly carry how many kilograms and taels there are.

There is a degree here. After crossing that line, some people will cause trouble for him. This line involves specific government affairs. Opinions are opinions, and decrees are decrees. Any solution he provides is Cross the line.

"Lin Fucheng is actually very suitable for the position of censor, but he has no family background." Zhu Yijun did not intend to break this rule. Being given a doctor of the Five Classics is already an extra grace. He is not even a candidate, so he is specially awarded the Enke Jinshi. It has nothing to do with Lin Fucheng.

The Renhe Xia family could not escape the fate of Jiecuyuan after all, and Fan Yingqi’s experience also made the courtiers wary, and they increasingly tightened their control of opioids, strong hallucinogenic and analgesic drugs. management.

The twelfth lunar month of the tenth year of Wanli is coming, the sky finally clears up, and the capital of the Ming Dynasty is immersed in the festivities before the New Year, and everything is happy.

Zhang Juzheng took Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, and started pulling at the gate of Tonghe Palace with a memorial. Wan Shihe refused to go, so Zhang Juzheng insisted on taking him with him to present the memorial to His Majesty.

"Yuanfu is the emperor's master, and he should take into account your majesty to some extent. Your majesty is second only to Taizu Emperor Gao in thrift. If you report these things now, if your majesty allows it, it will be an extra burden. If your majesty does not allow it, it will be a coma. Lord, it's better not to talk about this matter. The system in Ming Dynasty is already very good." Wan Shihe waved his hands, but refused to go forward with Zhang Juzheng.

"It was clearly promised, but when the crisis comes, how can you suddenly back down!" Zhang Juzheng wanted to move forward.

When Wan Shihe heard this, he immediately said: "I am a flatterer, but I shrink back when the matter comes. Isn't it natural? You are an upright minister. We are not the same people. Don't mention this matter again. Don't mention it again."

Zhang Juzheng was extremely annoyed when he heard this, and immediately said: "Then don't blame me for reaching out to the Ministry of Rites!"

"You stretch your hand, just stretch it, if I resist, I am not flattering you." Sir!" Wan Shihe immediately laughed when he heard this. Who among the civil and military officials in the dynasty didn't know that Wan Shihe had the softest figure? Even though Zhang Juzheng just stretched out his hand, the Ministry of Rites did not resist. Wan Shihe's etiquette mainly focused on one modification.

Zhang Juzheng said with a complex expression: "Others say you are a rich scholar and a flatterer, but you are not ashamed of it, but proud of it."

"The Ministry of Rites is like this. Is it possible that the Ministry of Rites wants to How many of the Ministers of Rites have lost their heads to find someone to confront His Majesty every day?" Wan Shihe also had a very good reason.

"You two, Your Majesty declares his greeting." Zhang Hong walked out of the five gates of Tonghe Palace and made his speech directly.

The quarrel reached Tonghe Palace, and His Majesty was in the Imperial Study Room. How could he know? In Zhu Yijun's opinion, the acting skills of these two are somewhat lacking.

Zhang Juzheng and the reluctant Wan Shihe walked into the imperial study. After seeing the ceremony, Zhang Juzheng presented the memorial.

"Let me see what exactly the gentleman is going to do. Uncle Zong is so unwilling." Zhu Yijun opened the memorial and took a look at it, frowned and said, "Is the gentleman crazy?"< br>
“Feng Daban, go and ask for the imperial doctor.”

Feng Bao was confused, and he said dullly: "Do you really need to hire an imperial doctor?"

"Then Feng Daban, tell me, the gentleman said that Wenyuan Pavilion will be abolished, why don't you tell me about this?" You have to ask an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat it to see if there are external evils entering the body." Zhu Yijun turned over the memorial in his hand and said with confusion.

"Abolish the cabinet?" Feng Bao was even more confused than before. He said blankly: "I will invite Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong over now."

"Go quickly, go quickly!" Zhu Yijun Said with great conviction.

"Your Majesty, I am not sick." Zhang Juzheng was so angry that he was so angry that he had a headache. Indeed, the suggestion he made seemed to be a bit serious, but he also thought about it repeatedly. Only later did this sparseness occur.

Zhu Yijun said with a complex expression: "That's okay, the cabinet is a good one. What will it do if it is dismissed? How will I deal with government affairs if I dismiss it?"

"Your Majesty, the cabinet is a master. "The source of the disaster of the system." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said, "Establish a permanent dynasty again."

Zhang Juzheng systematically explained his ideas. The cabinet was completely abolished and the six ministries were still in charge. He also opened the Huangji Hall and held regular court meetings every day. In this way, ministers from the outer court, from the six ministers to the officials in the capital, could present everything to His Majesty. In this way, the administration was like running water, and the system was governed by teachers. The living soil has completely disappeared.

"Sir, this ancestral law can be traced back to Taizu Emperor Gao. I know what you mean." Zhu Yijun finally understood what Zhang Juzheng was thinking.

It is to return the current three-yuan structure of the emperor, the ceremonial supervisor, and the Wenyuan Pavilion to the complete monopoly of the emperor during the Hongwu period, and to put all the power in his hands, which is the one-yuan structure of the Hongwu Dynasty. .

After the abolition of the cabinet, the emperor moved a small bench and sat in front of the Huangji Palace. He held a series of memorials and announced them directly to anyone he needed to ask. If there was not enough time for the morning court, he would hold the afternoon court. If there was not enough time for the afternoon court, he would hold the evening court. After all, everything can be taken care of.

There were about 184 types of events reported in the Hongwu Dynasty. With this gameplay, Zhu Yijun didn’t have to do anything. He was a ruthless machine to go to court.

"Sir, look at me, look at me." Zhu Yijun pointed at himself and said, "How can I be so virtuous and capable?"

"Your Majesty is the wise master of the world." Zhang Juzheng felt that This system is feasible because the one-yuan structure of the Hongwu Dynasty was based on the Mingjun Holy Lord. Your Majesty is extremely diligent and can fully support the implementation of this system.

“Sir, Emperor Taizu Gao started from a young age and pioneered the craftsmanship of bamboo baskets and baskets. I was born in a deep palace and grew up with women’s hands. Sir, Emperor Taizu Gao is like that. I’m really not good at it.” Zhu Yijun rarely admits that he is not good at certain things, but Zhu Yuanzhang is really not good at it.

How many people can do this in the world?

Zhu Yuanzhang started his career from a bowl. He really started from a humble beginning. He was the emperor who was killed from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood. Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang was qualified and capable to do such things as one-yuan dictatorship. Because the courtiers had not yet raised their butts, Zhu Yuanzhang knew what the purpose of these people was.

How can Zhu Yijun be so capable? Not to mention him, even Emperor Taizong Wen, after becoming emperor, immediately formed a cabinet to serve as Prime Minister. However, he was so noisy by the courtiers that he directly went to the Northern Expedition in person.

I am ordered by Heaven to abolish the prime minister’s one-yuan power. That is Zhu Yuanzhang’s exclusive court structure. There will be no one in the future. Which emperor can pull this trick?

"Your Majesty, you can do it." Zhang Juzheng said with confidence.

"Sir, your wife thinks highly of me." Zhu Yijun rubbed his eyebrows. Zhang Juzheng really thinks highly of him.

Lin Fucheng talked about academic circles and the seat-teacher system. Zhang Juzheng talked about appeasement and nepotism. Zhang Juzheng said that the root of the seat-teacher system originated in the Zhengtong period.

Because the Ming Dynasty Meeting was abolished by Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Zhu Qizhen was young and could not manage politics. He submitted eight things to the court in the morning, and everything was agreed upon long ago. The emperor only needs to take the cabinet's draft votes and read them accordingly.

The early dynasty system was in name only. By the Jiajing period, the early dynasty system was completely in name only.

The ministers of the outer court could not see the emperor. Everyone who wanted to say something to the emperor had to go through the cabinet. This was the source of the ills of the imperial system. According to Zhang Juzheng's idea, the cabinet was completely abolished. One-yuan dictatorship is a good elixir.

While the New Deal was going on, Zhang Juzheng finally swung the knife towards himself.

This is actually a sign. Starting from the first year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng asked the emperor to meet with foreign officials, county captains, elders, and people who complained about injustice. He also stipulated that a court meeting must be held on the third day of the lunar month to meet with the emperor. After looking at all the ministers and ministers, and then the five ministers who listened to the government, Zhang Juzheng had a supportive attitude until the most recent close minister. Zhang Juzheng has always hoped that through the design of the system, the disadvantages of appeasing nepotism in officialdom will be completely eliminated.

One-yuan dictatorship can raise the upper limit in the case of a wise ruler and a holy master, while the group decision-making of the three-yuan checks and balances can hold the lower limit.

Zhang Juzheng did prescribe a miraculous medicine, which can cure the disease. This medicine is the introduction. Zhu Yijun has self-knowledge. Without the cabinet, the court can barely function.

"I was told this by Yuan Fu at first, and I thought this method was wonderful, but after thinking about it more, I felt it was inappropriate. Yuan Fu insisted on dragging me here with me, but I had no idea." Wan Shihe put up the exemption sign. Your Majesty, please do not think that he is a disloyal person.

"Sir, why don't you take a look at the test method? I think the test method is useful enough." Zhu Yijun still resolutely admitted that compared to Zhu Yuanzhang, he was a waste. It's not something to be ashamed of.

"It's better to compromise. In the future, if the foreign minister has important matters, after hearing the report, I feel it is necessary, so I will summon him personally." Zhu Yijun still came up with a compromise. If it is really important, , you have to go through the process in person and then announce it.

Zhang Juzheng actually wanted to persuade His Majesty, but seeing His Majesty's resolute attitude, he had to bow his head and said: "I obey the decree."

"It just so happened that Mr. Nagasaki came over, and a memorial was sent from the Nagasaki Governor's Office. ." Zhu Yijun talked about the Japanese country.

Oda Nobunaga, who was supposed to die during the Honnoji Incident in June of the 10th year of Wanli, is still alive. It is not because Oda Nobunaga’s confidant Akechi Mitsuhide was loyal and did not take action, but because of the interference of the Ming Dynasty. The situation in Japan has undergone some changes. Oda Nobunaga postponed his attack plan, resulting in Akechi Mitsuhide never getting a chance.

“Oda Nobunaga, who claims to be a man of the world, has decided to give up his practice of spreading military power across the world.” Zhu Yijun said with emotion: “He wants to return power to the emperor.”

“ This." Zhang Juzheng opened the memorial to the Nagasaki Governor's Palace and read it for a long time.

Oda Nobunaga surrendered to the Ming Dynasty before, and the terms were very generous. He surrendered and surrendered. He only asked the Ming Dynasty to take away Baochao’s magical power. The situation of the Japanese country was already bad enough. With the Ming Dynasty’s interference, the Japanese country The water was completely mixed.

The Ming Dynasty did not accept surrender, Oda Nobunaga chose to return power to the emperor!

Seriously: The rise and fall of the empire can be achieved in one fell swoop! Respect the king and fight against the barbarians, today!

After Zhu Yijun read the memorial to the Nagasaki Governor's Office, he couldn't say that Oda Nobunaga was really a hero to the Japanese. In order to protect the Japanese country from being persecuted by the Ming Dynasty's economic means, Oda Nobunaga The president planned to return power to the Japanese emperor.

The military strength controlled by Oda Nobunaga, even if the government is really returned to the emperor, he will still be a citizen of the world, but the government orders will no longer be issued through his shogunate, but from the emperor.

Oda Nobunaga wanted to print his own banknotes to deal with the menacing Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, turning the conflict between transfer money and privately minted money into a conflict between transfer money and domestic currency.

"He can't do it." Zhang Juzheng also admired Oda Nobunaga very much. This man is quite capable of tossing.

But Zhang Juzheng judged that Oda Nobunaga's idea was very good, but he couldn't do it. It was not because Oda Nobunaga was not capable, but because the Japanese country did not have the conditions.

Oda Nobunaga simply wanted to issue an edict from the Emperor to print the Japanese treasure banknotes and offset them with the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes. If necessary, he would grant the major names the power to print privately, and then let the Japanese people Everyone realizes that the treasure banknotes are worse than wipes, and no one uses them. The method of peeling the treasure banknotes will naturally be ineffective, and it can be regarded as a typical method of driving out good coins with bad coins.

This response method is already very clever, because the Japanese country has many silver mountains, and it only needs to offset the impact of the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, and then it can continue to use silver as currency.

"What do you think the Nagasaki Governor's Palace should do, sir?" Zhu Yijun asked, tapping his fingers on the table.

Zhang Juzheng asked curiously: "What do you think your Majesty should do?"

"Do nothing." Zhu Yijun stopped his fingers and answered Zhang Juzheng's question: "Oda Nobunaga worked hard. The Nagasaki Governor's Office did nothing to deal with it. After watching the Japanese treasures rot, the Ming Dynasty Treasure money is more likely to be recognized by everyone."

"Seeing him build a tall building, watching him entertain guests, watching his building collapse."

Zhu Yijun thought about it. Doing nothing is also a kind of wisdom.

Oda Nobunaga's plan was to issue bad Japanese currency to promote the proliferation of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes. In this way, the corruption of banknotes would be completed as quickly as possible, and both jade and stone would be destroyed.

"Your Majesty still thinks that it is feasible to abolish the cabinet." Zhang Juzheng immediately talked about his previous suggestion. Isn't the one-yuan dictatorship the Mingjun and the Holy Lord? Isn't this ready? See how much your Majesty understands a person! Why is he not the Holy Lord Mingjun!

"Sir!" Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "There is no need to mention this matter again."

"Returning power to the emperor is something that Oda Nobunaga cannot do." Zhang Juzheng was very convinced. Said: "He cherishes his reputation and refuses to use his name to print treasure banknotes. Does it mean that the emperor of Japan, who has been idle for a long time, does not cherish his reputation? The emperor of Japan only has his reputation."

"In the end, I guess I will use my own reputation to print money."

It is clear what Oda Nobunaga wants to do. To put it bluntly, it is to exchange money. He will use the credibility and reputation of the Japanese emperor to exchange money for the Ming Dynasty. Money control means.

"Let's take a look again." Zhu Yijun thought about it carefully and felt that what Zhang Juzheng said made sense. Anyway, just wait and see what happens.

The Nagasaki Governor's Office is also celebrating the New Year. Oda Nobunaga's move to return power to the Emperor has failed. The news has reached the Nagasaki Governor's Office. Zhang Juzheng's judgment is very accurate. Oda Nobunaga wants to do it and can return power to the Emperor. No.

After all, this matter is Oda Nobunaga's wishful thinking. If the Japanese Emperor refuses to agree, he can consecrate Oda as a general to conquer the barbarians. The rest of the matter will be left to Oda Nobunaga; except for the Japanese Emperor If they don’t agree, Oda Nobunaga’s close retainers also don’t agree. Returning power is a series of political actions. Returning power is not something you can just take back if you want. Even if the Japanese emperor is a tablet, it is still a tablet that has always existed.

After the failure to return power to the emperor, Oda Nobunaga became cruel and began to print money in the name of the shogun.

“The instructions given by His Majesty are to wait and see what happens, but he also said that the Governor-General’s Office shall make its own judgment and it is appropriate for the Government-General’s Office to make the decision. What do you think?” Xu Wei, the Governor of Nagasaki, looked at the imperial edict in his hand and asked The views of officials on the ground in Nagasaki.

"Your Majesty is wise." Sun Keyi thought for a while and said: "It's better to do nothing. If Oda Nobunaga is willing to give out treasure notes, just do it."

Nagasaki Governor's Palace The judgment is consistent with His Majesty's. An overly cautious response will not be conducive to the implementation of the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes. Moreover, the Nagasaki Governor's Office has no good solution. It really liberalized the exchange of treasure banknotes and competed with Oda Nobunaga's treasure banknotes. A life-and-death struggle, but it fell into the lower realms.

The Ming Dynasty's treasure banknotes are anchored no matter what, and that is the goods of the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese treasure banknotes are only anchored to debts. If you step on the left foot and the right foot, the world will collapse.

The perspective of the development of the matter is more mysterious and weird than the judgment of Zhu Yijun and the Nagasaki Governor's Office.

That is, no daimyo went to Kyoto to collect these treasure notes. It was because the treasure notes printed by Oda Nobunaga were too shabby. The proofs were sent to every daimyo, and every daimyo was shocked.

Who can be fooled by this thing?

The appearance of the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes is very good. It is made of tissue paper ink and makes a clattering sound when flicked. The handwriting is clear, the design is exquisite, and the anti-counterfeiting is extremely perfect. The famous people who issued the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes are indeed collecting seigniorage. But the people of Japan also recognized it. After all, the country of Japan was also in a state of money shortage. The country of Japan did not lack silver, but it lacked copper.

As for Oda Nobunaga's shogunate, the treasure banknotes obtained were just pieces of waste paper, of poor quality and unable to prevent counterfeiting. The daimyo exchanged this rotten paper for silver in the hands of civilians, who only had You will feel that the famous people are using fake banknotes to fool people, and even fools are not that fooled. The printing is the same as the ghost coins.

Comparing the two, they both have the same seigniorage. It is self-evident which one to choose. Even if Oda Nobunaga gave in again, the daimyo generally did not trust Oda's treasure money very much. Even dogs understand the principle of eating well, and the great names of Japan also understand it.

Of course, some daimyo responded to Oda Nobunaga's call and went to exchange some Nobunaga notes, but they couldn't send them out at all. Never change again.

Printing money cannot be done by anyone who wants to.

“Something is not right.” Sun Keyi put down his abacus, looked at Governor Xu Wei and said: “Our Ming Dynasty treasure money did not make the Japanese country go crazy, but it promoted the trade of goods. Circulation."

"During this period, the number of workshops and trade in the Japanese country increased significantly. Every place that accepted treasure money was prosperous, and there was even a competition among all things. The scene."

"This is wrong, something is very wrong. We came to the Japanese country to cause trouble, not to contribute to the Japanese country."

Sun Keyi looked at the account book in his hand. This year, the Japanese country has increased a lot. Handicraft workshops, and the output of silver has increased significantly. The development trend of the entire Japanese country is much better than Sun Keyi thought.

In other words, the Japanese country only had to pay more Japanese slaves and wandering girls, and the treasure banknotes they received in exchange promoted economic development. The Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes were not a sharp blade for peeling downwards. It promoted the development of the Japanese country, which was very wrong.

Xu Wei said with a smile: "No, this is normal, because we are restraining ourselves. The biggest problem with treasure banknotes is anchors and indiscriminate issuance. Treasure notes already have anchors, but now we are restraining ourselves and there is no indiscriminate issuance." "

"Pigs also need to be fattened before being killed. When the Japanese people get used to treasure money, they will be like Fan Yingqi taking opium. They will no longer be able to refuse. On that day, the Japanese country will be completely destroyed. Let’s start.”

Xu Wei’s smile is a little scary. This is a scholar with a special personality.

The current situation in the Japanese country is caused by Xu Wei deliberately. He deliberately restrained himself and allowed the Japanese to develop the habit of using treasure banknotes at home and abroad. On that day, they will let the Ming Dynasty take it and take it away, and start again. They spread their hair indiscriminately and wielded their sickles to harvest wildly.

When you cut leeks, you pull out the roots directly, and you can no longer cut them.

“On the surface, everything seems to be improving, but in fact, the export of Japanese slaves and wandering girls has increased significantly. The number of Japanese slaves sent to the Yuanxu Islands this year and the number of wandering girls sent to the hinterland this year are the same as last year. Seven times." Xu Wei took out another ledger and clicked on it and said: "This is the price behind prosperity."

The price behind this prosperity is extremely heavy. The Japanese slave who cut off the bell. , wandering girls who were sold to the hinterland and never returned to Japan. The loss of population was the weakening of Japan's national power.

No matter how weak you are, no matter how weak you are, you can destroy the Japanese.

“The cotton cloth business has increased significantly this year. A total of 800,000 pieces of Songjiang large cloth and 1.2 million pieces of Songjiang small cloth have been sold. Just from selling cotton, we have made 1.2 million silver. If we add more From the business of exchanging treasures, Japanese slaves and traveling girls, the income of the Nagasaki Governor's Palace is as high as 2.98 million silver." Xu Wei calculated that the income of the Nagasaki Governor's Palace was terrifyingly high.

All this is based on the suffering of the Japanese people, but Xu Wei and Sun Keyi don't care, and the Japanese people don't seem to care much either.

On the contrary, the Japanese lords were urging every day for the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes to be fully open to exchange, even more urgently than the Nagasaki Governor's Office.

Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "Now only the Luzon Governor's Palace pays taxes, and our Nagasaki Governor's Palace cannot lag behind others. We have prepared 1.5 million silver and will start transporting the capital after the spring of next year."

You, Yin Zhengmao, are the only ones loyal to the emperor and the country?
