I am the king of the dead

Zhu Qiyu is strengthening the Ming Dynasty Hall's control over power. Power can be distributed to interests, and Zhu Qiyu can distribute interests to the powerful and powerful who are taking risks at sea, but power will never be delegated.

Zhu Qiyu sat up straight, and said rather coldly: "A few days ago, Jin Yiwei visited and arrested a few brokers and compradors, and got an interesting story."

"Our Daming is decent in doing things, even accepting bribes is decent. Before, it was Tan Jing, Bing Jing, who lived in the official residence. This eyebrow is not usable, but it is still decent to give money and collect money. How to do it?"

"These political brokers put the banknotes in envelopes, and it's always unseemly to open the envelopes in person, but the corrupt officials who accept bribes can tell how much is inside by touching them. The master craftsmen here have to check the ingredients accurately.”

When political brokers send money, they always wrap it in envelopes, stuffed with Daming tickets issued by the Baoyuan Bureau. The money is bright and everyone loses face. They put it in the envelope, but how much is clear to each other .

The money-giver knows how much money he puts in, and the money-collector knows it by touching it, which can be described as a strange thing.

How thick is this thin ticket? But these corrupt officials who accept bribes know how much money is inside as soon as they get started.

It can be described as an anecdote.

"It's strange to say that when His Royal Highness King Xiang was in Beijing to supervise the country, everyone's house was closed, let alone corruption, and even the number of dignitaries and dignitaries who drank in Yanxinglou was much less. After I returned to Beijing, instead of vengeful corruption Get up, do you want King Xiang to sit here?" Zhu Qiyu looked around and asked coldly, "Who do you want to take revenge on, me? Or take revenge on yourself for not being greedy for money for two years, and your hands are itchy?"

Every time Zhu Qiyu went to the place, the local officials were always facing the enemy, fearing that Zhu Qiyu would make a mistake and kill him on the spot. They were as cautious as meeting the King of Hades.

The Beijing officials are completely different. When he is not in Beijing, the Beijing officials are honest and honest.

After he came back, he couldn't stop his greedy hands.

Could it be that he, Hades, has no deterrent power?

Of course not, which is not surprising.

The emperor is not in Beijing, and the emperor's uncle, King Xiang, supervises the country. At this time, he was a little careless in engaging in corruption, and received money from an ambitious family. If this ambitious family wants to seek a big position, if something happens, they will have to sit together. That is ransacking the house The great crime of extermination.

You can do whatever you want, but you must not get involved in the rebellion. If you can’t win, you have to pay taxes twice. If you lose, you also lose money.

But His Majesty has returned to Beijing, and corruption has been found, but it is nothing more than a corruption investigation. This kind of case is handled on a special case basis, and others will not be implicated. Confess your own problems, don't carelessly bite.

Zhu Qiyu's intention of talking about corruption is too clear, he just wants to beat some guys, and he just cuts off his claws as long as he stretches out his hand where he shouldn't touch.

Since he wants to say good things for the wealthy families, he can't be blamed for being ruthless.

Wang Ao sat up straight, anti-corruption is his scope of responsibility, the core means of Qingming officials, and His Majesty confessed to take over the land of the Imperial Academy, Wang Ao has already begun to mobilize manpower and layout to do it. …

Some things require detours. Zhu Qiyu made two detours before talking about maritime affairs. First, he talked about how cruel and oppressive the current workshop of Daming was. The factory's productivity advantage is a kind of power, and another circle around it is corruption.

In Zhu Qiyu's words, he didn't say a word about the power and the distribution of Lilan in Daming Maritime Affairs, but every word and every word was inseparable from the central topic of his today's court discussion.

"Now let's talk about the two most violent incidents recently. The first one is whether Li Binyan should move his position, and the second one is official ships and official trade." Only then did Zhu Qiyu put away his momentum and talked about today's center issue.

Officials should think twice, the first is to think about danger, the second is to think about retreating, and the third is to think about change.

Thinking about danger is to think about the possible consequences of doing this, whether you can bear it, and whether it will affect your future; thinking about retreating is to find a way out for yourself, and you can't just keep your head dull and reckless; thinking about changing is to consider Changes in the situation between the DPRK and China should follow the trend and not go against it.

Thinking about danger, thinking about retreat, and thinking about change are the three times that an official should think about every day.

His Majesty has already given enough dignity by going around these two circles, if he still refuses to be decent, then everyone will have to be dishonored.

Yu Qian finally waited for His Majesty to get to the point, and then leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, let me talk about the benefits of official ships and official trade.

"No matter how large the scale of official ships and official trade is, the benefits in this maritime trade matter are like the vast ocean. Can official ships and official trade swallow the ocean?"

"Where the official ship goes, it must be the place where the navy of the Ming Dynasty goes. Those who make a living on the sea have a hard life, and the business at sea is a life-threatening job. If the official ship arrives, the navy will arrive. , even risking your life, doesn’t our Daming ship also have an advantage?”

"It's the same as doing business on the ground. Bandits who block the road and rob, when they meet the officers and soldiers, don't they avoid it?"

The biggest advantage of official ships and official trade is public security. There are no rules when floating on the sea. All sea merchants enter the port for business and leave for robbers.

Have never been a pirate, have no experience of being robbed, and have the nerve to call yourself a sea merchant?
It is said that it is doing business, but it is actually risking one's life, but after the official ship official trade starts, at least the law and order will be much better.

With official ships and official trade, at least merchants will go to sea with official ships and official trade, and they will live a lot in peace.

What is discussed is maritime trade. After all, what is discussed is power.

"The official trade of official ships this time is also different from that of the Yongle period. For example, in the second year of Yongle, Emperor Wen decreed that private sea-going ships were banned, and those that were originally sea-going ships were changed to flat-headed. There are divisions where they are located to prevent their entry and exit. Today's official ships Official trade has not banned merchant ship trade."

"There are many other differences. What does Shen Shangshu think?" Yu Qian mentioned the most important second point of interest.

That is, official ships and official trade are not monopolized, and merchant ships are not allowed to go to sea. This is the biggest difference between Jingtai Maritime Trade and Yongle Maritime Trade.

The voyage to the West during the Yongle period was a political activity, the core of which was to use the abundant goods brought by the strong national power and productivity of the Ming Dynasty to radiate neighboring countries, and to use economic leverage to maximize diplomatic benefits. In later generations, it is the most-favored-nation system. …

At the same time, it can also use the Kanhe trade system to control the dominant economic and trade power, establish a trade system for neighboring countries, realize economic restraint, and strengthen control over vassal states.

During the Yongle period, the construction of Beijing, the five expeditions to Mobei, the recovery of Jiaozhi, the stabilization of Liaodong, the repair of official roads and post roads, etc., all these piles, which one is not a waste of money, without the huge benefits of going to the West, it is completely unsupportable .

Then, a decree such as Saiyang, which brought great benefits to Ming Dynasty, finally fell to the death of the government, and there must be something unreasonable.

The most unreasonable thing is that the things used by the public are finally included in the internal funds.

Whether it is the construction of ships or the supply of commercial goods, the Ministry of Finance of the Ming Dynasty is raising funds, but the Ministry of Finance has exhausted its national resources to raise goods, and in the end it has been filled with domestic funds.

That's why some members of the Hanlin Academy will hold on to it, saying that the world is not the world of the world, but the world of turning the public into private.

When Yu Qian asked about Shen Yi, Shen Yi's eyes were bloodshot. He stayed up all night in the household department and spent tens of catties of oil for the light oil blowtorch. When he heard Yu Qian ask him, he calmed down a little. Said: "The boat camp of the official ship and the official trade has been built. It is a ship of the imperial court and belongs to the public property."

Shen Yi's words were concise and to the point, and some courtiers who were not well versed in financial matters were a little confused after hearing it.

"Shen Shangshu stayed up all night yesterday and didn't explain it clearly. After the ship is built, it is under the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Households is unified and assigned jurisdiction, and the Ministry of Industry controls fixed assets. The profit and surplus of the Maritime Trade Office are divided into three and the internal funds are five. Yes, [-]% of the national treasury." Zhu Qiyu said, there were some things that Shen Yi was not comfortable to say, so Zhu Qiyu said them for him.

The second-hand information Shen Yi got from Hu Dan was that the emperor still followed the old rule of [-]-[-] splitting, but in the absence of imperial edicts and oral instructions, Shen Yi of course could not mention a single word.

Zhu Qiyu simply spoke directly, in front of everyone, and explained it thoroughly, so that everyone would misunderstand it and delay the implementation of the decree.

The biggest difference between the Jingtai period and the Yongle period was the fact that private boats were not allowed to go to domestic funds.

The ownership of the ship is the tower in the hands of Tota Li Tianwang. It is a kind of guarantee and a commitment from Zhu Qiyu to the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry.
promise.

The tower in the hands of Li Tianwang Li Jing is Wu Chengen's adaptation of the folk tale of Nezha Naohai.

In "Journey to the West", after Nezha made trouble in the sea, Li Jing wanted to kill Nezha for fear of future troubles.

After Nezha knew about it, he cut the flesh back to his mother, removed the bones and returned the flesh, and returned the blood of his parents. Only a little soul was left before the Tathagata.

This Nezha got the right result and wanted to kill Li Tianwang for revenge, but Li Tianwang had no way to ask before the Buddha.

If the Buddha doesn't help Li Jing, this relationship will die. Li Jing is one of the four heavenly kings in the heavenly court.

But if you want to help, it is difficult for an upright official to break up housework, so that Nezha, who has returned his flesh and blood, can give up his resentment? Or let Li Jing kill him?
The Buddha made a detour, asked Nezha to recognize Buddha as his father, and gave Li Jing a gold pagoda with exquisite and transparent relics, and asked Nezha to kowtow to the pagoda. Li Jing was the one who took the pagoda, but Li Jing was actually the one who kowtowed to Nezha.

In this way, there is the reality of father and son, and Nezha does not need to admit his enemy as his father. Later, this Li Tianwang became Tota Li Tianwang. …

This is the same as when Zhu Di persuaded Tie Xuan to surrender and made Tie Xuan kneel facing north.

Why did the Buddha make a detour to give Li Jing a pagoda, and let Nezha recognize Buddha as his father, which is the same reason as Zhu Qiyu's official ship and official trade now, and let the official ship be in the hands of the court.

As for whether the adaptation is not a nonsense, whether this Nezha was rescued by the real Taiyi or the Buddha, we can only discuss it with Wu Chengen.

"Your Majesty is wise." Shen Yi never thought that he could get a personal promise from His Majesty, and he had the means of an official ship to check and balance. He hurriedly offered a flattery, stayed up all night, and was not organized for a while. Good language, how can I flatter my flattery.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hands and said, "Everyone, you understand."

This means of checks and balances is better than nothing. Zhu Qiyu said it was useful, so of course it was useful. He said it was useless, so it was just a matter of an imperial edict?

But Zhu Qiyu made a serious promise, but a promise to all courtiers.

"Then on the matter of official ships and official trade, let's all share our opinions." After Zhu Qiyu explained his decree in detail, he asked the courtiers to start the court discussion.

The Wenhua Palace is the place to speak, if you have any objections, you can quickly raise them. If you go to the Fengtian Palace to announce the decree, and then do something stupid, then Zhu Qiyu, as the emperor, can also take the word of non-punishment, to punish the heart, Disrespect and accusations of Chengyu are used to engage in moths.

Of course there are objections, and the rhetoric is relatively old-fashioned. It is still the same way of fighting for the interests of the people, which is somewhat untenable, let alone much reason. A fan of official business, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance who was supposed to be a pioneer, suddenly became His Majesty's pawn, and the court discussion naturally became one-sided.

In the end, with the support of 24 people and the reservation of three people, the court proposal was passed.

Zhu Qiyu also talked about the perennially difficult issue of the Xingdu of the Western Regions. This is the No. 14 court meeting on the Xingdu of the Western Regions, but there is still no result.

After the court meeting of the Xingdu Si of the Western Regions, it was the Ministry of Industry Minister Wang Ji who proposed to build a Taisu Temple on the north shore of the North Sea, using tin as a material to escape the summer heat and enjoy the cool air. Zhu Qiyu thought there was some new technology, so he asked carefully. I know it is simply building a house.

Tai'an Palace has not been added to the palace for many years. The majestic king of subjugation does not build a house or a garden, which is really a bit misleading.

As soon as Zhu Qiyu asked about the cost of 20 silver coins, he immediately rejected the proposal. The Ministry of Households paid for the construction of the Taisu Palace, not internal money, but with so much money, it can cover several kilometers of roads!
For the thrifty Emperor Ming, it was too much of a waste to build a palace with 20 silver coins that could not stay for a few days a year.

And the He Zhang of the Metropolitan Procuratorate solemnly took out the memorial to impeach a border general named Li Wen, who was a member of the Xining Guard, the son of Li Ying, the chieftain of Xili in Qinghai, and the commander of the capital of Shanxi. The initiator of the impeachment of Li Wen was Lang Keqian, the number one scholar in the second year of Jingtai.

The commander of the capital, the chief minister, and the inspector are the envoys of the three local divisions, and they are also called the three divisions.

And the number one crime of impeaching Li Wen is to support the bandits' self-respect, which can be said

It is a felony of losing his head, but Ke Qian came so aggressively that even the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate brought this matter to the court for discussion.

During the Jingtai period, the impeachment of military generals, and he was a military general in the town, was very suspected of "prospering the literature and defying the military."

"What do Marquis Wu Qing think?" Zhu Qiyu asked Shi Heng with a frown.

Shi Heng considered his words for a while and said, "The Chieftain Shiguan refuses to change his land and return to his native land."
