Ke Zhiming felt that Zeng Cheng's question was purely nonsense - if the people of the Ming Dynasty complained for those officials, gentry, and rich merchants, would they still go to smash eggs and rotten vegetable leaves?Eggs are not cheap!
Yes, Daming’s eggs are not cheap. Although they are not as cheap as the eggs eaten by Qian Deaf’s old dog, the average price is about four to six yuan. An ordinary young man who goes to work The wages of a day's labor in the workshop are only one hundred and ten Wen, but a catty of pork only costs ten Wen. So, do ordinary people eat pork or eggs?

Therefore, although ordinary people still buy eggs, the eggs they buy are either for their own children, for pregnant women or parturients, or for those whose children are full moon at home, and they have to give gifts to relatives who came to "watch the confinement" before. , and the gift included a boiled egg dyed red.

If it weren't for being really anxious and hated, which commoner would be willing to throw eggs at those virtuous gentry, wealthy businessmen and wealthy businessmen?
Ke Zhiming said with a blank face: "People don't think this incident is a 'big prison'. After all, every year in Ming Dynasty, a lot of officials involved in corruption cases were stripped of their skins. It’s just that there are too many people caught, and the common people will be surprised if none of them are caught.”

Zeng Cheng was choked up and had nothing to say. After a long silence, he sighed wistfully, "I'm old, I'm still old after all, and I really don't understand the current officialdom and folks anymore."

Emperor Zhu shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "The people nowadays are neither the people of the reign of Lord Chongzhen nor the people of the reign of Qian Deaf. Most of them are literate, they can distinguish good from bad, and most of them are I have experienced the hard days of Qian Deaf's years."

"Although they also yearn for the life of those officials, gentlemen, wealthy merchants, but they are not very afraid of those officials, gentlemen, wealthy merchants, no matter who wants them to go back to the past. Days will be regarded as enemies by them."

"If those officials and gentlemen hadn't been arrested, if those virtuous gentry and wealthy businessmen hadn't been arrested, the common people might still be scruples, but when they were arrested, the common people would not be afraid of them. .”

After speaking, Emperor Zhu turned his attention to Ke Zhiming again and asked, "How are the prices these days?"

Ke Zhiming bowed slightly, and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, before the minister entered the palace, according to reports from hundreds of households in the local area, the folks did not hoard a large amount of grain, and the price of goods was still stable. Most of the pork was seven cents. Or eight Wen, fish and shrimp are mostly about six Wen, rice is five Wen a catty, and wheat is four Wen a catty.”

Emperor Zhu hummed, and looked at Zeng Cheng with a smile: "Does Zeng Qing know why there are no common people hoarding food?"

Going... is also not a good way, because leaving the Ming Dynasty is different from the so-called leaving the Qing Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty. Leaving the Qing Dynasty only refers to leaving the Central Plains, but leaving the Ming Dynasty means that you can only go to the fool The eagle or the barbarian countries in Europa, West Kunlun and other places can be regarded as completely leaving.

Therefore, on the surface, it seems that there are three paths to choose from, but in fact there is no choice at all, and the only path of survival is not necessarily better than the path of death.

price?

Although the people present all looked down on Emperor Zhu, thinking that Emperor Zhu was just lucky to rebel in the name of the descendants of Emperor Chongzhen, but the tribes of South Vietnam, Burma and Siam that had already been destroyed The Bangs used countless Beijing observations to prove how capable the Ming army is, and their reason told them that rebellion is tantamount to courting death.

Bangzi, Burma, Nanyue and a lot of vassal states that have completely disappeared in history are probably the lessons learned from the Wa country?
The more he thought about it, the more he had a headache. Tokugawa Iezari simply looked at Watanabe Youemon and Matsushita Night and the others and asked, "What do you think about the problem that the samurai and ashigaru are unwilling to cooperate?"

Changping warehouses, reserve warehouses, Shaofu, and various workshops controlled by the imperial court worked together, and the result was that the prices of goods in Ming Dynasty were still as stable as old dogs. The price didn't go up a penny.

Mr. Zhou, who was sitting next to Mr. Li, was very upset when Mr. Li said this. He snorted coldly and said, "Then dare to ask Mr. Li, what's your opinion? Is it against? Go? Stay?"

As Emperor Zhu said, at the beginning, the officials, gentry, and rich merchants who were involved in the Weeping Palace case could watch the show calmly, but seeing the case getting bigger and bigger, they were caught by the police. More and more people are being arrested, but the people are still as calm as water, and those officials, gentry, and rich merchants can't sit still.

However, for the sudden death of Paul I, there are generally two versions on Xiaopoqiu. The first theory is that the current Tsar Alexander killed his father and usurped the throne. This kind of theory is more popular among Europa and Silly Eagle. The rule is that Emperor Zhu was unhappy with Paul I, so he sent Jin Yiwei to get rid of Paul I. This kind of saying is more popular in Ming Dynasty.

Master Huang snorted coldly and said: "I'm afraid it really won't work! Although there are many small countries in Europa, apart from England and Sand Goose, which country has to live on the nose of France? And France has always been called Europa. Xiao Ming, as long as that surname Zhu repairs a book, you go to France one day, and you may be arrested by French officers and soldiers and sent back to Daming the next day."

After Emperor Zhu asked someone to publish an article by means of telegram and printing, the public opinion was completely out of the control of those officials, gentry, rich merchants and wealthy businessmen. It cannot be said that it has completely turned to Emperor Zhu. , at least no common people stood up and called for their grievances.

Even so, Xiao Jin was still on guard so as not to be caught by those foreign barbarians and sent back to Daming.

Sitting next to Master Li, Master Zhou, Master Huang and the others also had gloomy faces. They put down and raised the wine glasses in their hands countless times, and their hearts were full of entanglements.

In Japan, if you don't know Chinese characters and can't speak fluent Ming Mandarin, you will be ridiculed by all the nobles, feudal lords, and daimyo.

Struggle in reality: Just as one side resorted to a little conspiracy, the other side directly turned the table, without even giving them a chance to exit in a decent way!
And facing an opponent like Emperor Zhu who doesn't play cards according to common sense, what else can Master Li say?
After being silent for a long time, Master Li finally opened his mouth and said: "I have accepted my fate. Since I can't beat that Zhu, then I will leave Daming. I will go to Europa, so I can stay far away from Zhu!"

When Tokugawa Iechi asked such a question, Watanabe Youemon, Matsushita Wan and others suddenly felt a little bit pained.

Emperor Zhu nodded with a smile: "Isn't this the end? The common people are not panicking, why should I be panicking? It is not I who should be panicking, but those bastards who want to be right with the people of the world."

Zeng Cheng was very upset at once——I, Zeng, did not think that those common people would dare to throw eggs and stones at officials and gentlemen. It was me, Zeng, who was a little stupid, but you can’t really treat me as Zeng. Be a fool!
Zeng Cheng bowed slightly, and replied: "Because the people know that there are a lot of grain in the regular warehouses and reserve warehouses in various places, and know that His Majesty can control the situation, so they don't panic, so no one hoards a lot of grain."

In other words, those feudal lords, daimyos and the like can be regarded as elite groups in Japan, how could they fail to see through the deceptions of Inuyang Wenhong and Nojiri Nishiki?
However, the reality is that they were also bluffed by Inuyang Wenhong and Nojiri Xijin.

Master Huang also echoed: "That's right, if Master Li has any good ideas, why don't you share them for everyone's reference?"

The court struggle in Master Li's imagination: all kinds of conspiracies and schemes, one side makes moves and the other side dismantles moves, whoever can't stand it will lose, and the loser should give in or exit with dignity.

It can be further inferred that if the shogunate wants to win over the samurai and military power in the hands of local feudal lords and daimyos, I am afraid that those feudal lords and daimyos will immediately fall to the Japanese court.

After being silent for a long time, Master Li gritted his teeth and said: "When that Zhu rebelled, you neither dared to directly follow up with the rebellion nor did you dare to cooperate with the Qing officers and soldiers to suppress Zhu Ni; People want to kill the evil gentry and local tyrants they talk about, and you all stick your heads out to be slaughtered; now, the fire has burned to your eyebrows, and you are still looking forward and backward, still unable to make up your mind?"

Watanabe Youemon and Matsushita also knew in their hearts that even though Daming's answer was right in front of them, there was no way to directly copy this homework.

Master Li's face suddenly became more gloomy, as if he had eaten three catties of stinky shit.

Master Li looked up at the roof, sighed and said: "What kind of crime did this old man do, to mess around with you trash!"

The methods that the predecessors used to deal with Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Wanli, Emperor Tianqi and Emperor Chongzhen, and even Qiande, Yongzheng and Qiande, were all ineffective, but they completely failed in front of Emperor Zhu!

It's not that no one has thought about using the method of the million-dollar water worker back then, but this method was stillborn before it was proposed-Da Ming has a million-dollar water worker!
If it is true, there are millions of laborers in Ming Dynasty. The problem is that none of those million laborers have the household registration of Ming Dynasty. The virtuous gentry and wealthy merchants in the village knew very well that even if all the so-called million-dollar laborers died, it would not affect Emperor Zhu a single bit!
……

If both the samurai and ashigaru were owned by the Japanese court, the Japanese court would have killed the shogunate as soon as possible.

The reverse is also true, if the samurai and ashigaru are owned by the shogunate, I am afraid that the shogunate will also kill the Japanese court in the first place.

More importantly, what kind of life did you live in Daming before?What kind of life will they live after going overseas?

Master Li was choked and speechless.

Reverse, dare not rebel.

"The name of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is on the front. No one in the Wa Kingdom thinks that Quanyang Wenhong is wrong. Naturally, they will not doubt whether other things he said are true or false."

In Yangzhou City, in the private room of the Yingbin Building, Master Li had a gloomy face and looked at the people present with a rather unfriendly gaze: "If we continue to let the hawks and dogs of the Jinyiwei continue to investigate, I'm afraid we won't be able to hide for long. , whether to go or stay, everyone should have an opinion, right?"

After all, it is the notorious and powerful Jinyiwei. Whether it is an official of the Ming Dynasty, a gentry from the village, a wealthy businessman or an ordinary person, they all believe that the Jinyiwei has the power to make Paul I die suddenly.

Stay, but also dare not stay, because Jinyiwei and Dongchang's hawks and grandchildren arrested people like crazy, bypassed the local prisons, and threw them into the camps of the garrisons after they were arrested. Give them the opportunity to operate in secret, no one can say when Jin Yiwei and Dongchang will find them, and if they stay, they are waiting for death.

"As for England and Sand Goose... Although these two families may not necessarily obey the orders of the surnamed Zhu, and you, Mr. Li, do have a lot of things that they need urgently, but you are really sure that England and Sand Goose can guarantee your Safety?"

Sand Goose is one of the five benevolent people appointed by Emperor Zhu. The former Tsar Paul I's status in the world is not low in Xiaopoqiu. Fake gossip is flying all over the sky, and no one knows the truth of the truth.

Master Huang suddenly said mysteriously: "The old emperor of Sha E's family passed away suddenly before. I heard that it was because Sha E's prince at that time provoked that surnamed Zhu, and then the old emperor was violently killed—— Lian Yi Even if the king of the country can't save his own life, how can you escape the pursuit of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang?"

public opinion?

Panasonic's one-night analysis directly caused Watanabe Emon and Tokugawa Iezari to fall into silence.

"The situation of Nojiri Xijin is similar. On the surface, the two of them are completely thinking about the Wa country and the people of the Wa country. Many feudal lords and daimyo have been bluffed by them."

How can the common people and untouchables eat eggs and duck eggs for their children with such a poor bird?take air?

The same is true for the village doctor plan. There are not many scholars in Japan, and the inheritance of medical skills is like witchcraft on a horse. Are you still working as a village doctor?
When Mitsuge Kihito and Kanomiya Huiren were having headaches because of Inuyang Wenhong and Nojiri Nishiki, Tokugawa Jiaqi and the top and bottom of the shogunate were also worried about Inuyang Wenhong and Nojiri Nishiki.

Or it can be put this way: Quanyang Wenhong and Nojiri Xijin are dogs in front of the Ming businessmen, so why are those Ming businessmen not fat pigs raised by the Ming court?
