Chapter 701: An iron nail penetrates the top
Zhu Yijun told a story for a long time in front of King Yue’s tomb. Zhu Changzhi was still too young. He actually couldn’t understand the people behind those golden horses. Zhu Yijun didn't go into great depth about "Danger". He just briefly talked about Yue Fei's life, but even in a nutshell, there is too much to say.
"On December 29, the eleventh year of Shaoxing, Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, issued an order to kill Yue Fei. In prison, Yue Fei wrote the eight characters "天日之azazhao", 天日之智曰", and was He died because of the threat." Zhu Yijun took Zhu Changzhi and put incense on the tomb of King Yue.
In the ancestral hall of King Yue's Tomb, not only Yue Fei is worshiped, but also Yue Fei's eldest son Yue Yun, and his generals Zhang Xian and Niu Gao. Niu Gao's tomb is actually about 600 steps north of King Yue's Tomb. In this position, Zhang Xian, Yue Yun, and Yue Fei were executed together. Niu Gao, as the most capable general of the "Yue Family Army" (Shenwu Rear Army), was poisoned to death by Qin Hui two years later, so they were put together to commemorate .
Qin Hui encouraged Zhao Gou to kill Yue Fei. He did not just kill Yue Fei alone, but also carried out a thirteen-year cleanup of the main war faction in the court at that time. Those who said they fought would die, and Qin Hui's So being so arrogant is actually Zhao Gou's connivance.
From the moment he killed Yue Fei, Zhao Gou had no choice but to surrender to the end.
"Go to Yugong Temple." After Zhu Yijun paid homage to King Yue's tomb, he got in the car again and headed towards Yugong Temple. Yugong Temple is less than 300 steps northwest of Xihu Bieyuan. It's very close. Now that we have come to West Lake, there is no reason to only offer sacrifices to King Yue's tomb and not to the public temple.
Compared with Yue Fei's final failure to fulfill his ambition to unify the country, Yu Qian managed to repel the Wala people and used the bounty to exchange Ye Xian's head for the Ming Dynasty, which was regarded as avenging the blood of the Ming Dynasty. Let Zhu Qizhen's joke finally have the dignity of telling the truth.
If Zhu Qizhen did not return to the Ming Dynasty and spent his whole life hunting in the north and eating sand on the grasslands, then Zhu Qizhen would be the biggest joke in the unified dynasty.
Unfortunately, Yu Qian picked up Daming's old face, cleaned it up, and put it on his face again, making everyone think that this is how the Celestial Empire should be.
Supporting Yu Qian's main battle was Zhu Qiyu, Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Qiyu not only supported Yu Qian's main battle, but also personally formulated a third-class merit reward card and mobilized Japanese troops to enter the capital.
"If Yu Qian had been like Xu Youzhen and advocated moving south, and everyone ran back to Nanya together, I wonder if there would still be a Ming Dynasty today." Zhu Yijun came to Yu Gong Temple and gave Yu Shaobao three sticks of incense. Standing in the courtyard of the ancestral hall, looking around.
At first glance, the courtyard has been carefully taken care of by the local government in order to welcome the inspection. The tiles and floor tiles are newly replaced, the grass and trees have just been trimmed, and the paint and walls have been repainted. You can even smell it. There was a faint smell of paint, and Yan Shixuan didn't know whether the emperor wanted to worship, but he still repaired it.
After the Tumubao Incident, was Xu Youzhen the only one who advocated moving south? Of course not. Civil and military officials throughout the dynasty advocated moving south. After all, the defeat was overwhelming.
Even Zhu Yijun, who doesn't know how to fight, knows very well that the words "defeat like a mountain" are terrible. When you lose, you will really be defeated again and again.
In the Battle of Saarhu, the forward army was defeated, the front army was defeated, and the middle army was defeated. The blow to morale caused by the rout was more terrible than imagined. Just because Du Song underestimated the enemy and was greedy for merit, he felt that the little Jiannu was nothing more than this. In his arrogance, Jun Song gave Nurhachi a chance, and the defeat was as unstoppable as the collapse of a mountain.
Moving south is a rational decision, ensuring survival first and leaving the north as a battlefield to the generals, while sticking to it is a crazy and fatal decision.
The emperor asked, but no one dared to answer this question, because there is a deep-rooted culture of 'following the crowd' in the officialdom. If you don't follow the crowd, if you have different opinions, you have to take responsibility for your different opinions. At that time, Yu Qian was just a third-rank minister of the Ministry of War. Yu Qian could just follow the crowd.
What will happen if Yu Qian really follows the crowd? I don’t dare to think about it, and the people accompanying me don’t even dare to think about it.
"Bring me pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Zhu Yijun said to Feng Bao. He wanted to write an inscription. He thought about it and wrote: It will be decided after a long time. Where can I find this person? It will be the same person for a hundred generations.
This is Zhu Yijun's copy of the later generation Lin Zexu's evaluation of Qian. Zhu Yijun believes that Yu Qian deserves the evaluation of one person in the world.
Because that period of heavy history is a scar filled with scars, the court tried to avoid talking about that past, so the entire Yu Gong Temple was extremely quiet, with few people coming.
Yugong Temple, with white walls and gray tiles, a red lacquer door, and 'Jinggong Temple', these three official script characters look solemn and solemn. The ancestral hall is a small courtyard with three entrances and exits, totaling only one acre. There is more land. The nice thing is that the courtyard is lush with vegetation and trees, and it is a quiet place. The ugly thing is that the incense is not so prosperous, there are very few people who come to pay homage, and it is even a bit dilapidated.
"I don't like how quiet this place is. Let's repair it and build the roads. From now on, Hangzhou Academy will come here to pay homage when the school starts on the 16th day of the first lunar month every year." Zhu Yijun made specific plans. instruction.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this will disturb Yu Shaobao's purity. It's not what Yu Shaobao wants. If we force them to come, they will arrange it for Yu Shaobao instead." Feng Bao did not choose to obey the order. Instead, he put forward his own opinions.
Zhu Yijun was silent. Feng Bao was not out of touch. If he really insisted on asking these students to come, he might be so dirty in his mouth. You must know that Yu Qian was a well-known devotee. He finally risked his life for the sake of the old Zhu family's country and country. They were all lost. The emperor nodded and said: "That makes sense...then just expand it."
The Emperor of Ming Dynasty was about to leave when he suddenly stopped and came to the side room and said: "Why is there a tablet here? Who is being worshiped?" ?”
Feng Bao quickly bowed his head and said: “Yu Shaobao respected his great-great-grandson Yu Yue. In the tenth year of Jiajing, he became the hereditary deputy Qianhu of Hangzhou. In the twenty-seventh year of Jiajing, he died in the anti-Japanese war, so we joined Yu Yue together. "Gong Temple."
"Bring me some more incense." Zhu Yijun also offered incense to Yu Yue. This was a sign of loyalty to the Japanese.
When Zhu Yijun left Yu Gong Temple, he also asked in detail about the experience of Yu Qian’s great-great-grandson Yu Yue. What made Zhu Yijun a little helpless was that the reason why Yu Yue’s temple was placed together with Yu Qian’s was because Yu Yue could not enter the Zhongyong Temple, so the descendants of the Yu family could only be placed here.
Yu Yue died in the 27th year of Jiajing, when Zhu Wan ordered the attack on Shuangyu Port.
In the eyes of the imperial court, Zhu Wan was unjustly accused, and Yu Yue was a loyal anti-Japanese martyr. However, on the ground in Zhejiang, the situation was completely different. The general public opinion in Zhejiang believed that the most prosperous port in Shuangyu Port was Over the years, he encountered Zhu Wan's cruel and bloody suppression and persecution, and Yu Yue was also one of the executioners, so Yu Yue could only be placed in Yu Gong's temple.
Shuangyu Port is regarded as the world trade center in Zhejiang Province. However, Zhu Wan’s brutal suppression made Shuangyu, a pearl on the sea, dim. All the ground buildings of Shuangyu Port were burned to the ground, and Zhu Wan also ordered people to block the waterway into the port with sunken ships, wood and rocks, etc., so that Shuangyu could no longer become a pearl.
Zhu Wan said: As for the bandits in the main gate, if the thieves from Shuangyu don't leave for one day, Ningbo will never have a peaceful sleep in the area.
Yao Haoyou, who was on the ground in Zhejiang, said: Hundreds of people were captured, beheaded and drowned, and a hundred and thirty people were captured. They were all good people, and there was not a single Japanese. How could there be Japanese pirates?
Zhu Wan was coerced by this kind of public opinion and directly committed suicide to express his ambition.
The powerful people on the ground in Zhejiang felt that Zhu Wan sent 2,000 people to attack Shuangyu, and ended up killing hundreds of people, all of whom were Ming Dynasty merchants, and captured 130 people. Among the patrons, Gu Liangyu, Zhu Lianggui, Liu Qi and others, there were no Japanese, not even a single Japanese. How could we say we were suppressing Japanese? It was clear that Zhu Wan was interested in Shuangyu's wealth. After entering the harbor and plundering it, he burned everything to cover up the evidence of the crime.
It was all because of Zhu Wan’s brutal suppression of Shuangyu that the Japanese plague broke out everywhere! It's all Zhu Wan's fault!
"Let me tell you, Zhu Wan is not ruthless. Why did he commit suicide? Anyone who talks nonsense will be arrested, labeled as a Japanese pirate and executed directly. When others say that he framed the blame If he really framed him, no one would dare to accuse him." After hearing why Yu Yue could not enter the Zhongyong Temple, Zhu Yijun gave his own opinion.
Zhu Wan is still too kind-hearted. You can see that he is as ruthless as Zhu Yijun. If he fully uses violence, no one will accuse the emperor of using violence. Instead, he will praise his virtues.
"Also, why are there no Japanese pirates? In addition to the seven Japanese pirates, among the 130 prisoners, there are also 27 black and red-haired soldiers, and there are two sets of Tiehun armor. Why are there no Japanese pirates? ? The result is the cause, nonsense! Was it not because of internal and external collusion that Zhu Wan had to put down the Japanese invaders? Then the whole family of Xie Qian was killed, and now he said that there were no Japanese pirates? " Zhu Yijun said rather dissatisfied.
The ability of these right-wing gangsters to talk nonsense really opened Zhu Yijun’s eyes! The Japanese invasion in Zhejiang was so widespread that the imperial court knew about it, and all the descendants of Xie Qian, the former chief minister of the cabinet, died!
"Your Majesty, you will never end being angry with them. Later, when the Japanese invaders caused trouble everywhere, they can't talk nonsense like this anymore." Feng Bao advised His Majesty the Emperor to calm down. What nonsense? The World Trade Center is basically a smuggling center!
A serious maritime businessman, a kind person? Bullshit! In the Sandu'ao private market, these so-called serious maritime merchants robbed villages along the coast, bought and sold Han people, and used opium to control Han people into slaves. Up to now, there are still more than a dozen victims who cannot leave Jieyuan. In Jieyuan Quit opiates.
This is what smuggling merchants look like. There are no good people.
The Ming Emperor returned to the West Lake Villa. He met Shen Shixing, the governor of Zhejiang, and Yan Shixuan, the prefect of Hangzhou, in front of the gate.
“This time a thorough cleanup of the temple was carried out. A total of 4.2 million silver of all kinds of property was confiscated. According to the imperial edict, the incense money was not touched. Only illegal banks and charlatans were confiscated. , and the number of acres of land secretly sent to each temple exceeds 34,000 hectares." Shen Shixing reported that the amount of property obtained from the confiscation of temples in Zhejiang reached 4.2 million, which was half of the amount obtained from the confiscation of wealthy families in Zhejiang. Its concentration is intense.
The 3.4 million acres of farmland are not included in the discount. According to the average farmland in Zhejiang, one mu is 50 taels of silver. This is a shockingly huge asset. The farmland is the means of production and cannot be discounted. According to calculations, all the land in Wanli's family law will be classified as imperial village and official land.
"Since this group of people chose to send it secretly, you can't blame me. They integrated it into the imperial village and the official land." Zhu Yijun reviewed Shen Shixing's memorial, and all the acres of land were divided into pieces and passed. In the form of selling, selling and replacing, they were gathered together and became official fields, and the grains obtained were used for military purposes and Changping warehouses to stabilize grain prices.
"Feng Daban decreed that all temples and other places of Qing Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty should not have more than ten hectares of land. They should not operate banks, philanthropic markets, etc. If anyone resists the decree and disrespects it, he will be punished. He was exiled to Suiyuan." This was not an additional decree, but a reaffirmation by Zhu Yijun that in fact, since the Qing Dynasty in the second year of Wanli, temples had not been allowed to hold too much land, and this time it was comprehensively narrowed.
"Your Majesty, there is a case." Shen Shixing bowed his head and said, "Let Magistrate Yan do the talking."
"The first temple I went to raid was called Zhaoxian Temple, which is on West Lake North Road. After arriving, it was already noon, and I heard someone crying inside, "I don't want to become a Buddha." I felt strange and asked Ti to ride up the tree and watch." Yan Shixuan began to report the case.
Ti rode up the tree and looked inside, only to see many monks surrounding a young novice, clasping their palms together in salute, wishing him an early ascension to the west. The young novice refused to live or die, and kept shouting It is this little novice monk who refuses to become a Buddha.
The monks persuaded the novice monks to complain.
Ti Qi came down from the tree and heard about Yan Shixuan. Just as Yan Shixuan was about to take action, he came from a distance. As far as he could see, there were more than a thousand believers, rushing towards Zhaoxian Temple. The government officials stopped them. , believers were not allowed to approach, and Yan Shixuan asked the reason clearly. It turned out that Zhaoxian Temple told the believers that a living Buddha would be seated today, and everyone was invited to burn incense and worship.
Tiqi blocked the believers, who insisted on breaking through. Amidst the commotion, the time was almost lost. When Tiqi broke open the temple door, he saw the monks clamping down on the little novice monk. The monk was about to kill him. An iron bar more than four feet long was penetrated from the inside of the buttocks, and the young novice was held down by six or seven monks, unable to move.
Tiqi sternly stopped him and fired his gun into the sky, which frightened the demon monks and rescued the little novice monk.
"In other words, the monk who will be enthroned today is the novice who was almost killed by a long iron bar? Can these four-foot-long iron bars be penetrated directly? Is there any chance of survival?" Zhu Yijun frowned. He frowned and said: "Why wear an iron bar?"
"Put an iron nail straight through the top of the head, and the head will not be crooked after death. When believers see that they have actually passed away, they will naturally be willing to burn incense and worship Buddha. Isn't this right? Is it closed for a month? There are many temples in Zhejiang. If this living Buddha ascends to heaven, he can take money from the believers. "Yan Shixuan said with emotion: "Your Majesty, this little monk has a miserable life."
The little novice is the son of a tracker from Shuangpu, Qiantang County. The tracker died at the dock. The little novice’s uncle took away the family property. The little novice was only nine years old and had nowhere to go. He had no choice but to join the Zhao family. As a monk in the Xian Temple, the little novice monk grew up in the temple from the age of nine to thirteen. He accidentally caught a glimpse of the sitting Buddha with an iron nail piercing the top of it, and he was so frightened that he lost his mind.
It was also because he had a glimpse of the secret method of sitting and transforming that the young novice was about to be transformed. The young novice tried to escape, but was caught. If Tiqi had not handled the case and rescued him, the young novice would have died.
Zhu Yijun frowned and said: "It is said that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. This is just a business that is uneasy to worship Buddha and clean up, and is tainted with the smell of copper. How can it harm people's lives? Is that little money so important? It's lawless! Arrest these evil monks and parade them around to show their evil. "Your Majesty, this is not an isolated case," Shen Shixing said with a complicated look.
Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing blankly and asked, "What do you mean? Not only did Zhaoxian Temple do it, but other temples also did it for incense money?"
Others have punctual sitting rituals, but if we don’t, who will come to offer incense? In order to attract believers, some hard work must be done.
"As far as I can tell, only the Seventeen Temples have done this." Shen Shixing bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I and Magistrate Yan are here to report to Your Majesty and ask for His Majesty's Holy Judgment."
It turns out that Yan Shixuan also He was investigating a single case, but the more he investigated, the more he discovered that something was not quite right, because many temples in Zhejiang Province did this for money for incense, but whenever it was announced that the time for death was accurate, believers from all over the world were required to burn incense and worship the Buddha. Most of the temples are dry.
If an iron nail penetrates the top of the body, doesn’t that mean the time of enthronement is accurate? And his head won't tilt.
After checking and checking, Yan Shixuan was a little afraid to check. Since the matter was serious, I came to ask His Majesty's opinion whether to continue the investigation.
"Check, once the investigation is completed, whoever's house is found will be put on a streetcar and paraded through the streets! Make his crimes public and make it known to all the people. Don't be fooled again and make nonsense!" Zhu Yijun actually didn't Regardless of the existence of these temples, they need each other after all. Some people need a place on the other side of nothingness, and some people provide services, and Zhu Yijun doesn't stop them.
However, it is absolutely not allowed to illegally rent land, operate illegally, and kill people.
Shen Shixing invented the parade method. Chen Tiande was still in Zhejiang, and there were enough parade cars. We must tell the people their true appearance and don't be deceived.
Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing and Yan Shixuan, thought for a moment and then said: "This kind of matter must be investigated strictly, and there is no need to ask in the future."
Yan Shixuan and Shen Shixuan looked at each other He glanced at him and bowed his head.
Your Majesty can see what they are worried about.
In fact, what they are more worried about is the reaction of the Queen Mother. After all, the Queen Mother worships Buddha. After checking, this kind of thing is happening in this temple. What is the reaction of the Queen Mother when she finds out? Therefore, they did not dare to investigate too deeply, and when they found out, they did not dare to announce it in a big way to let all the people know. If they made the Queen Mother unhappy, their whole life would be in vain.
Being completely responsible to the top is a shortcoming of bureaucrats. They are more worried about top-down pressure, because bottom-up pressure often requires a long process of qualitative change, but the thunder from the emperor arrives in an instant. .
When the country suffered a huge loss, the Queen Mother forced Wang Chonggu to build a pagoda and erected it in the Forbidden Garden.
The pagoda was actually the product of political struggle. It was to force Wang Chonggu to make a declaration of devotion. When it came time to build the Zhengya Bell and Drum Tower, the Queen Mother would not let the outside court beat her under any circumstances. Built in name.
"How is the Caobang issue going?" Zhu Yijun asked about the beginning of everything.
Looking back, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty realized that actually engaging in gang fires and killing people in the streets was a concrete manifestation of the intensification of conflicts in Zhejiang. The conflicts between the yamen and powerful right-wing officials had become irreconcilable after Wu Shanyan was beheaded in public, and the fire burned Wherever the emperor stayed, the situation was further intensified.
Wu Shanyan collaborated with the local demons and demons to cut the military pay of Zhejiang Nine Battalion and force Zhejiang Nine Battalion to disband. However, Zhejiang Nine Battalion mutinied and resisted. The court finally chose to behead Wu Shanyan in public, which actually gave up the local power. Right-wing interest proposition.
Shen Shixing went to work from Songjiang Prefecture to Hangzhou Prefecture, which meant that the imperial court was reaching out to Zhejiang again. From that moment on, the aggressive resistance began. In fact, these follow-ups were all the result of the nine-year plan. The aftermath of the camp mutiny.
The emperor's southern tour further intensified the conflict.
The Cao Gang merger is a link in the complex struggle, and it is also the beginning.
"If the canal is not built, I dare not say that it can be solved. But if the canal is built, it can be completely solved." Shen Shixing told His Majesty that the problem of Caogang has always been a choice for the people who cannot find a way out. If they work in a local area and get paid for their work, then the foundation of the Caogang will disappear.
To eliminate the Caobang, we don’t need to eliminate the Caobang itself. We need to find a way out for the people of the Ming Dynasty.
After the canal was built, an engineer battalion was formed, bridges and roads were repaired, embankments were repaired, and water conservancy projects were repaired.
“The 4.2 million silver confiscated this time will be used to build a road from Hangzhou Prefecture to Songjiang Prefecture and pass through Suzhou Prefecture. The Suzhou Section will be constructed by Suzhou Prefecture.” Zhu Yijun conducted an inspection of the confiscated property. Distribute it, or don’t take it away, just keep it in Zhejiang.
The canal and two galloping roads are the specific impact Zhu Yijun brought to Zhejiang during his southern tour of Zhejiang.
"I obey the order." Shen Shixing was overjoyed and obeyed his leader's orders.
Nanya has been clamoring for the construction of Chi Road because there is widespread demand for Chi Road. Although the waterways in the south of the Yangtze River are very developed, land transportation is also an indispensable supplement. The emperor went through such a big drama in Zhejiang, but there was no Take away the silver, this will be even better.
"Jiangnan is the most prosperous. Since there has been a clamor for repairs, I saw that there is indeed a need, so let's repair it."
"I received the memorial from Songjiang Mansion. This Taixi's sailing ship hasn't left yet, why?" Zhu Yijun asked with some confusion.
In the past, the large sailing ship could only dock for a month and then leave. Now it has been docked for nearly two months and it has not left yet. Basically, all the cargo of the Thai-Western sailing ship has been purchased, but they are piled neatly on the The dock, just didn’t get on the boat.
Shen Shixing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the large sailing ships arrived early this year. The ships arrived in May. The fleet was waiting for the monsoon. Taking advantage of the early arrival, Songjiang Shipyard carried out a comprehensive inspection of the eleven large sailing ships arriving at the port. During the inspection, many major problems were discovered. I don’t know why these Thai people were so upset. The ship was broken and the watertight cabin was still in use. The watertight cabin is for emergency use.”
“Except. For maintenance, the Taixi sailing ship is waiting for cargo. There is a batch of tea that needs to be shipped. "
Shen Shixing explained the reason. It was just a month early for overhaul. The Taixi merchants were waiting for the goods. Tea leaves and small tea bags are becoming a hot-selling product in Thailand.
"Taixi's tea...I can only say that it is barely considered tea. They have spoiled the good stuff, just like the raw silk." Shen Shixing said with a look of disgust.
Zhu Yijun once gave Felipe a sword, which was regarded as a sword to accompany a hero. In the end, Felipe returned the gift with a box of silver coins and a pair of Thai iron armor.
This is the cultural difference. In Zhu Yijun's opinion, there is nothing wrong with the national gift he gave. But in Thailand, when the monarch sends weapons, it is a declaration of war. Felipe returned a box of silver coins, which is regarded as buying the sword. It is not a gift. Eliminate misjudgments caused by cultural differences.
For example, one of Felipe’s national gifts included Nuremberg eggs, which in the Ming dynasty is pronounced as a bell (end), which is actually quite taboo.
Zhu Yijun didn’t care much about any of this. On the contrary, the Nuremberg eggs started the Ming Dynasty’s precision manufacturing. The Ming Emperor liked that gift very much.
The reason for the delay in the sailing ship is that starting from this year, Ming Dynasty will no longer provide tea bricks, but small tea bags, because these Thai and Western merchants spoil things too much.
“To drink tea in the West, all these tea leaves are broken up, chopped, and mixed together, regardless of their origin, color, and black tea. Due to improper storage, they became moldy when shipped back to the West. It’s really It’s a waste of natural resources!” Shen Shixing didn’t know much about tea, but among the gifts given to Shen Shixing by the Governor of Spain and Chile was mixed tea.
He would never forget that taste.
"Is that drinkable?" Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment. Regardless of the quality of the tea leaves, he broke them all into pieces. Isn't that just tea foam?
Taiwanese people cut tea bricks with knives when they get them. Sometimes, they also mix in rotten and moldy tea leaves and various random leaves to pass them off as good ones.
After much thought, the Ming Dynasty changed to small cans of tea bags. Firstly, it increased employment, secondly, increased profits, and thirdly, it prevented the Westerners from passing off inferior quality tea and slandering the reputation of the Ming Dynasty tea. This was a large quantity. Commodities can make a lot of money, and all of the 80,000 tea farmers in Zhejiang belong to middle-class families.
It is not easy to establish a market, but it is easy to destroy it.
The tea bags that are sealed in small jars are sealed with mud to further ensure that they will not become moldy.
It takes time to process from large tea bricks to small tea bags, so you need to wait. This will help Daming Tea further open up the Thai and Western markets. Zhu Yijun chose to support it.
“Your Majesty, tea can support 80,000 tea farmers in Zhejiang. Tea and coffee can support 80,000 tea farmers in Guizhou and Yunnan. Your Majesty, 80,000 tea farmers in Zhejiang don’t seem like much, but in In Guizhou and Yunnan, there are 80,000 tea farmers who aspire to the Ming Dynasty, which is the foundation of the country." Shen Shixing said sincerely: "I believe that we can select experienced tea farmers and give them money to open tea gardens in Guizhou. This is a long-term strategy for stabilizing the country."
Even if His Majesty did not mention the long absence of the galley, Shen Shixing planned to put forward his own suggestions during the interview.
Coffee has been successfully grown on trial in Yunnan. The Duke of Guizhou has opened a 30,000-acre coffee garden, and Guizhou’s terroir is actually excellent for growing tea.
Agriculture is the foundation of everything.
"Your idea is very good, but going to Yunnan and Guizhou is like being exiled. You have to be paid enough, and you have to breed according to local conditions. It's all hard work. I'm just worried that no one is willing to do it. Go." Zhu Yijun felt that Shen Shixing's proposal was very good and in line with his consistent position of promoting agricultural stability.
But the biggest problem is that no one goes there. Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou are all smoggy places, places where even the exiles don’t want to go.
The exiles preferred to go to Java.
