I am the king of the dead

Chapter 702 Mountains don't go to people, people come from the mountains

Yuan Bin inspected the whole mountain and silver mountain, instructed the kiln dwellers, and then asked ten generals to teach them the means of self-protection.

Aunt Sheshan in Shanye Yinshan means abandoning the mother mountain and abandoning the old mountain in Japanese.

The long-term war caused the people to live without a fixed place. After the few good fields were abandoned, the already stretched food became even more scarce.

The elderly who are a little older and unable to continue working become a burden and a burden. At this time, the elderly will choose to enter the abandoned old mountain and give up their lives.

This is a very common phenomenon.

Under what circumstances would you choose to end your own life?

Yuan Bin didn't know, he walked hard for an unknown amount of time in the white snow, in the waist-high snow, to Dongshengwei.

Yuan Bin smiled as he looked at the children running on the mountain road in the mountains and silver mountains.

When Jin Shenju was still in Wa Kingdom, he liked to stay in Yinshan very much, and he lived there for dozens of days. The reason for joining Jinju now is to wait for Elder Li, Tang Xing, who was still Li Binyan at that time, to return from the sea.

In fact, Jinshenju likes the life in the mountains and silver mountains very much. It is stable, peaceful and full of vitality.

Here, a force of life is bred.

Daming once possessed a kind of power, called Wan Fu Yi Li, invincible in the world.

Yuan Bin sensed the possibility of such power from these potters.

Perhaps, this is the only way to save the country's current predicament.

But why would he do it?

What Daming wants is the money from the Wa Kingdom, nothing more.

Yuan Bin stayed in Shanye Yinshan for three days to settle down and then left for Sakai Port.

At this time, in the Shouge of Sakai Port Palace, Ji Duo, Yue Qian, Li Bing and others are discussing the future of Sakai Port.

Yuan Bin put the whip in his hand on the shelf in front of the door, and asked with a smile, "What are you talking about?"

Li Bing said with a smile: "Yuan Gongfang, some news came after you left."

"The first one is that Ashikaga Yoshimasa sent a letter. I hope Mr. Yuan will not misunderstand. It was Hosokawa Katsumoto himself who coveted the wealth of the mountains and wild silver mountains, so he tricked the three leaders to attack together, and he Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the Muromachi shogun , has nothing to do with it."

Yuan Bin said with a sneer: "Can't they make a good confession in advance? Everyone insists on their own opinions, and leave him alone. The most urgent problem for Ashikaga Yoshimasa is how to survive in the capital of dragons and tigers."

Pushing back and forth is just a decision made together, for the benefit of Shanye Yinshan.

Who doesn't want to be envious of Shanye Yinshan?

Taking advantage of Yuan Bin's crusade against the Anyi Kingdom, he occupied the mountains and silver mountains and divided up the huge profits.

It's a pity that they can't even hit the silver mountain that only the kiln people have.

Food is the original sin.

Li Bing took out the second letter and said: "The second is that Katsumoto Hosokawa's cousins ​​have all been found, and I hope Mr. Yuan can protect them."

"Hosokawa Katsumoto has fallen, and now the Hosokawa clan has no leader."

"What are the benefits?" Yuan Bin sat down and asked after taking a sip of herbal tea.

Do you want protection without asking for protection fees?
Li Bingman said with a smile: "They provided Yuan Gongfang with 18 shi of grain per year, and elected Yuan Gongfang as one of the new three leaders. In this way, Yuan Gongfang can go to Luo."

Yuan Bin asked back: "Without their support, if I want to go to Luo, can I still go?"

"Naturally." Li Bing said indifferently.

With or without the support of Hosokawa, Yuan Bin can go to Luo, it is only a matter of time.

"Can food be exchanged for silver?" Yuan Bin thought for a while, and according to the price of food in Japan, 18 shi of grain could be exchanged for nearly 20 taels of silver.

Li Bing shook his head and said, "The Xichuan family has no silver mountains, and they don't have the ability to exchange silver into silver. Some grains are still very good. If there is a famine in the silver mountains, they can also provide relief."

Yuan Bin nodded frequently and said, "Follow what Li Yushi said."

There is a shortage of food in the country of Japan, and the annual trade of grain from Jiaozhi and Annan costs about 300 million shi.

Grain is a hard currency in the country of Japan. It is indeed necessary to keep the 18 shi of grain in our hands as a permanent warehouse to prevent famine.

This is why the Japanese people in Shanye Yinshan are so grateful to Yuan Bin and others.

Li Bing, Yuan Bin and the others didn't think it was strange, this was the right thing to do, but in Japan, it was a great kindness.

Keep some food in hand to prevent famine, isn't it to prevent the Japanese people on Yinshan from starving to death?Relief to whom?Is it possible to help Yuan Gongfang and his comrades in arms?

Li Bing said with a smile: "The Hosokawa family still has nearly a thousand Japanese ships. Although there are not many surveys and cooperations, they can still be used to trade grain in Jiaozhi and Annan."

"In addition to drawing points, the Maritime Trade Office will give Yuan Gongfang [-]% of the profit in exchange for Yuan Gongfang's protection."

If the trade route is unimpeded, silver, sulfur, etc. can be shipped from the Wa Kingdom, exchanged for Daming porcelain, silk, cloth, etc., to the Bosi of Daming City, exchanged for food in Jiaozhi and Champa, and then shipped back to the Wa Kingdom for silver.

Yuan Bin nodded and said, "Cash only."

Li Bing said as it should: "That's natural."

"The third news came from Chen Fuyin. The Da Nei family and the Ni Zi family came to Anyi County again to discuss the matter of attacking the Shijian Kingdom and occupying Yinshan."

Yuan Bin thought for a while and said, "No hurry, even if we occupy it, we don't have so many craftsmen to mine. Let them bite dogs first. Fifty surveys are enough for them to bite Wutianshan Mingshi."

Li Bing picked up the last letter and said: "The last news is from Daming, and it is also something we will discuss next."

"The completion of the Namba-Kyo Shipping Department, the Inspection Department, and the Water Horse Station is already in our hands at Sakai Port. I think it is time for the Namba-Kyo Shipping Department to be established."

During the sea power conference, the issue of sea power was discussed. The ports and the entire city ship department of the overseas city ship department must be owned by Daming, and the Daming navy should be stationed there.

Yuan Bin quite agreed: "The time is ripe."

Jeju Island, Naha Port, and Penghu are all overseas shipping companies, but their nature is different from that of Namba Jing City Shipping Department.

The shipping department of Jeju Island was replaced through negotiations with North Korea, while the shipping department of Naha Port and Penghu City were all located in Ryukyu. Daming transformed Ryukyu into prefectures and counties. place.

And Namba Jing is the first time that the Ming Dynasty established a city ship department in the land of heaven and earth, and its significance is extremely great.

The appointment and dismissal of personnel, specific positions, the replacement of the navy, etc., all need to be communicated with Daming.

Yuan Bin sent the final decision back to Songjiang Mansion through Pigeon Road.

Ji Duo also sent cavalry soldiers to the Kyoto Prefecture, and asked Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the general of the Muromachi shogunate, to stamp his seal.

The process still has to go, after all, the king of Wa at this moment is still Ashikaga Yoshimasa.

The local guardians of the Wa country did not know the rules, but Shanye Gongfang from Daming still knew the rules.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa and the Yamano government had a secret negotiation, and the official document of the Namba Jing City Shipping Division was approved.

Yuan Bin looked at the envoys who had already left, and said to the crowd in a daze, "The enthusiasm shown by Ashikaga Yoshimasa in the matter of Namba Kyoushi Shipping Division makes people think that he is a Ming Dynasty."

Ashikaga Yoshimasa is very enthusiastic. The establishment of the Shibo Division has been established. Ashikaga Yoshimasa just seeks some benefits and ignores it.

Ashikaga Yoshitoshi's annual 20 ingots of Daming Treasure Banknotes "lease" Nambakyo and Sakai Port to Daming indefinitely.

Ji Duo sneered and said, "Then what do you say?"

"Let Ashikaga Yoshimasa represent the Muromachi shogunate and call on the guardians of the entire Japanese kingdom to drive us away? Let's not talk about whether Ashikaga Yoshimasa has that appeal, just call it out, can you beat us?"

Yue Qian took over the conversation, and said with a smile: "Even if we can fight well, if we are expelled from the sea, Shanye Yinshan and Anyi Yinshan are back under their control. We were driven back to Daming, before the Daming Navy Come on, how do they deal with it?"

"Is it possible to make Daming give up the silver from the Wa Kingdom?"

Li Bing shook his sleeves and said, "The guardians of each family have their own ghosts, and they don't even have the most basic trust. How can we join forces?"

"Maybe the guards of the various families think that the Muromachi shogunate is setting them up."

"When the time comes, I only need to say something, and they will be self-defeating."

The words of several people clearly explained the current situation of the semi-colonial and semi-feudal country.

Ashikaga Yoshimasa behaved more like a Daming person, and he hoped that Daming could establish a Shibo Department as soon as possible, and the reason was the same.

The army leaders in the country are not of one mind at all, even if they are reluctantly gathered together, they are still in a state of disunity.

It's better to seek some benefits.

"Actually, there is a way out for Japan." Yuan Bin stood in the resplendent Palace Guard Pavilion, and said with emotion: "But why should we abolish that effort?"

Li Bing looked at the vast sea, looked at Yuan Bin, and said seriously: "Yuan Gongfang, the mountain does not go to people, people come up the mountain."

From Li Bing's point of view, he just didn't want to sit on the position of Yuan Bin, the king of the Wa Kingdom.

Survival and development are a kind of luxury. When this kind of luxury is close at hand, it is natural to firmly grasp it.

Yuan Bin's reputation in Japan became more and more famous, and the closer he was to the throne.

Zhu Qiyu received Yuan Bin's request to set up Namba Jingshi Shipping Division, and after Zhu approved it, he sent it back to the capital order Zhu Zhanqian to supervise the matter.

Xiang Wang Zhu Zhanqian not only handled daily official duties in the capital, but also did a major event.

With the cooperation of Yu Shiyue, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Xue Xuan, Minister of Dali Temple, He Zhang, Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and others, the Ming Dynasty set up a total of 33 "Jingtai Shibo Regulations" regarding the management of the Shibo Department.

The rule stipulates the fourth-class prohibited prohibited items. The Three Treasures of Fulu are all on the list. According to the quantity carried and the level of contraband, the offenders include beheading, family reunification, exile, imprisonment, and corporal punishment.

The rule clearly stipulates the proportion of points to be drawn. Daming merchant ships take [-] point out of [-], [-]% is exempted from silver bills, and the low tax rate encourages going to sea.

For foreign merchant ships, three points are drawn for every ten points.

Not only that, the "Regulations" also stipulates double draws and single draws.

The goods imported from the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty are only taxed when they arrive at the port, which is a single pumping.

After arriving at Hong Kong, foreign merchant ships will still have to collect points once when they buy and distribute from the warehouse of Wanguo City. This time it is a commercial tax of [-]/[-].

In the eyes of Daming's master, foreign barbarians are not even considered human beings at all. It is not a burden to increase taxes on them. Besides, there is also the guiding ideology of consolidating the country.

Encourage domestic commerce and protect domestic commerce.

The "Regulations" stipulated the punishment for foreigners leaving Wanguo City without permission, which was divided into beheading, imprisonment, expulsion, and rod punishment according to the severity of the situation.

"Regulations" also emphasizes that monks, Taoists, Yeli Kewen (missionaries), Da Shiman (missionaries) and others should follow the rules for their next trade.

Zhu Qiyu looked at this article and thought of Zen Master Yang, the national teacher who was sent to Yibei to reform the Wala people. He said with a smile: "This article is interesting. Our masters in Ming Dynasty are so afraid that I will give monks and Taoists tax exemption?"

Xing'an flipped through the thick memorandum, and said: "This one, I have a look, this one has been in existence since the Northern Song Dynasty. In the first year of Song Shenzong Xining, it was determined to solve the number, and later generations will follow this example."

In the Central Plains Dynasty, after the Judi Tiantong, God took care of God's affairs, and people's affairs were taken care of by people.

In the "Regulations", the fact that monks and Taoists are not exempted from tax is deliberately written clearly.

Article 33 of the "Jingtai Shi Ship Regulations" will be the first customs law in Ming Dynasty, which is dedicated to the management of maritime trade.

Zhu Qiyu thought about it for a while and Zhu approved this "Ze Li", which was officially implemented in the ninth year of Jingtai. He wrote at the end of "Ze Li": [There is no immortality in the world, and naturally there is no law that will last forever. 】

"Your Majesty, the memorandum from Minister of the Household Department Shen Yi." Xing'an hesitantly put a memorandum on the table, and said in a low voice: "Shen Yi wants to cut down the feudal clan."

Zhu Qiyu opened Zou Shu and said with a frown: "How can you cut it!"

"I have sent all the vassals to the ten princes' mansion to live in!"

"They said before that the vassal is in the local area, destroying the local justice, and the gentry is still affiliated with the palace to exempt the land from taxation, protecting the profiteers from committing crimes. This is all true. Is it okay to bring the vassal back to the capital?"

Zhu Qiyu stopped talking while talking, he asked suspiciously: "It's quite a lot, besides the security fee, does my Tai'an Palace have so much?"

Dragon and phoenix felts, Eight Immortals tables, lacquer tables, hanging chairs with lamps, sheath beds, hexagonal gauze lamps, sacrificial silk boxes, bathtubs, bathtubs, giant mats, steamers, and red cloth bags cost 250 pieces for each prince.

Sumac, Vitex, firewood, charcoal, coal, salt, fish, pepper, honey, garlic, aniseed, red candle, flour, ginger, sesame oil, birch bark, in catties, about 640 catties.

This is just the furniture and kitchen ingredients. This list is very long, and it costs nearly [-] silver coins to raise a prince in one year.

Sons beget grandchildren, grandchildren beget sons, sons, descendants, grandchildren, endless.

"Tai'an Palace spent less than [-] silver coins last year." Xing'an said with a look of unbearable expression: "Your Majesty, only Tai'an Palace has the Miyun Daxie Official Factory and the Imperial Hospital Official Factory for dividends. Not only is it enough, but there is also a surplus."

"Your Majesty, it has been six years since Tai'an Palace has not paid a dime from within."

Empress Wang has always been in charge of Tai'an Palace affairs.

Ran Siniang, as the general manager of the Miyun Dayao Official Factory and the Tai Hospital Official Pharmaceutical Factory, only paid the dividends to Queen Wang, which was enough for Tai'an Palace.

Xing'an doesn't know history, so he doesn't know if there are any emperors who even washed and wore crown clothes in history.

Your Majesty is frugal, and Tai'an Palace is not extravagant.

Zhu Qiyu recalled it carefully and said: "But I remember that Prince Yi's mansion didn't have as many as one hundred thousand silver coins a year. At that time, the annual salary was ten thousand shi, and [-]% of the banknotes were discounted. The ancestral salary in hand was only three thousand shi."

Xing'an was quite helpless. In fact, it was only in the ninth year of Zhengtong, that is, after King Jili took over the government, that the ancestral salary of Prince Tan's mansion was discounted by [-]%.

"Shen Bulou's memorial is just to settle accounts for me, saying that the vassals spend a lot of money, and he doesn't say how to cut it, which means that I will take this bad guy for granted." Zhu Qiyu knocked on the memorial and said: "Good reputation belongs to oneself, bad reputation Come on, is this the loyal monarchy that never leaks?"

Xing'an hurriedly took out another memorial and said: "That's not true. His Royal Highness Xiang Wang rejected Shen Shangshu's method of cutting the vassals. His Royal Highness Xiang Xiang made another memorial to discuss the treatment of cutting the vassal kings."

Zhu Qiyu picked up King Xiang's memorabilia, read it for a long time, and then said: "Uncle Huang is really cruel. He cut the treatment of the vassal king, didn't he cut his own treatment?"

　The expenses of the vassals in this article come from the "Installation of the Shed and Hall of the Baofu" in "Kong Youlu". A vassal king only needs more than 10 taels of living expenses.Ask for a monthly ticket, woohoo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
