Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 227: After eating so much, I vomited myself. Are you still eating?
Taifu's house.
Hu Hui was sitting in front of the stove, reading a book.
It was a unique copy copied from the palace, and I read it with relish.
Since the palace's collection of books has been made public.
Scholars from all over the world gathered in the capital from thousands of miles away and went to Tantai Library to copy books.
Because there were so many people copying books, the Tantai Library set a time to hang the books and let the literati copy them, while the eunuchs were responsible for turning the pages.
No one is allowed to touch it with hands, let alone damage it.
Such harshness was praised by the literati. If the eunuch turned over the book roughly, he would be scolded by the literati.
The copying of books formed an industry in the capital.
Some people rely on first-hand copying of books to sell them at high prices and earn the price difference; others sell their skills and make money by copying books for others; there are also merchants who engrave books and sell them to other provinces.
Suddenly, the literati in the capital were excited.
Emperor Jingtai, who had a very bad reputation in the eyes of literati, actually had a different attitude. Some literati wrote articles and published newspapers praising the emperor, and there were countless admirers.
Eight years before Jingtai, Zhu Qiyu had received a lot of praise.
But in the eight years since Jingtai, he has been reviled by people all over the world. Some people even made a villain with Zhu Qiyu's name written on it and pricked him with silver needles every day. The factory guards solved more than a dozen witchcraft cases.
However, because of the public collection of books, the reputation has improved.
Hu Hui loved books very much. In order to collect the Tantai collection of books, he opened a printing factory, printed them himself, and then collected the best ones and read them every day.
He shoveled the back garden of his home and built a library specifically for collecting books.
The young grandson Hu Yifan walked in quickly and saluted calmly: "Grandpa, two Wang Ge Lao came to the mansion to ask for an audience."
The eldest grandson Hu Yiqian works as a guard in the palace.
The eldest son Hu Changning and the second son Hu Xiu are not at home, and there are only one elder and one child in the family.
"Please come in."
Hu Xi closed the book and carefully placed it on the case.
He stared and threatened Hu Yifan: "You dare to curl up my grandfather's book, you little bastard, and my grandfather will hang you up and beat you!"
"Grandpa, don't worry, your grandson will be very careful when reading." Hu Yifan said with a smile.
Hu Yifan was precociously intelligent. When he was three years old, the meaning of the scriptures was explained to him and he was able to recite it.
But in Hu Hui's eyes, he doesn't think Hu Yifan is a sign of longevity.
And people who are too smart will take shortcuts and easily go astray, so they need strict teaching.
Just like a beetle, if you are gifted with early wisdom, if you don't die young, you will be a monster.
When he was 60 years old, he was born with a beard.
But he was never doting on Hu Xi, and was even extremely strict, just to make him guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and not to be clever.He is not allowed to be born even in his 20s, it is necessary to suppress him and hone him before he can shine.
He had four sons in his life, two of whom did not live to adulthood, one was sickly, and the other was precocious, and neither of them lived past the age of ten.
After accidentally discovering that Hu Wei was precocious, he was worried and worried that he would die young. Therefore, he paid special attention to Hu Wei and painstakingly studied medical skills. It was because of the mercy of God that he saved Hu Wei.
Just as he was thinking about it, the door curtain was opened, and Wang Hong and Wang Fu walked in.
After greetings.
"Old Master, Your Majesty hastily rectified the horse administration. Is it too hasty?" Wang Hong originally wanted to go to the palace to dissuade him, but was stopped by Wang Fu, so he came to visit Hu Ming to discuss with Hu Ming.
When the servant brought tea, Hu Hu pursed her lips and said nothing.
Wang Hong has an upright temperament and is good at making poisonous plans.
Just as he was about to question, Wang Fu said, "Does the old lady have other ideas?"
"Please use tea. This is the royal tea given by the palace."
Hu Xi took a sip, chewed and said, "You two, do you know the deep meaning of His Majesty's move?"
Wang Hong was stunned.
He looked at Wang Fu.
He immediately smiled bitterly and said: "The political situation is now in a precarious state."
"Your Majesty should be careful in his words and actions instead of making enemies rashly."
"If Ma Zheng is investigated, it will probably be another big event that will shock the world."
“There are too many things to do this year, so we should slow down a bit.”
Hu Xi smiled and said nothing.
Wang Fu asked in surprise: "Is your Majesty's move paving the way for Ma Wen to be promoted to Beijing?"
Wang Hong was stunned, who is this Ma Wensheng?
In order to pave the way for him, the emperor reorganized the entire Taipu Temple and directly asked for money, even without shame.
"This is just one of them!"
Hu Xi put down the tea cup: "Have you seen Ma Wensheng's resume? This person is very famous among the people..."
Wang Hong sneered, these are common tactics used by officials.
Find something to make a name for yourself, and then find some flatterers to brag about, and your good reputation will spread naturally. It's a routine operation.
To make a name for yourself, don’t be slanderous.
"No, His Majesty wrote three letters to him, one asking about the situation of the court; the second asking about military affairs; and the third asking about people's livelihood."
"His answer made His Majesty highly praised him, saying that he is a minister who governs the world."
Hu Xi smiled and said: "Will you question His Majesty's vision?"
It won't.
Since the eighth year of Jingtai, all the people employed by the emperor have been talented people.
Putting people to their best use shows how the emperor views people.
"Is this Ma Wensheng really so powerful?" Wang Fu was surprised.
Wang Hong disagrees: "Talents are honed."
"Even if you are a talented person, you have to hone it slowly in a place."
"It will take ten or twenty years to enter the center step by step."
"Plugging young people to encourage them like your Majesty will only make the genius fall into the dust."
Hu Hui and Wang Fu agreed with this.
They all trained in many positions before entering the center step by step.
Therefore, he remains steady and has a high level of governance.
"But you don't have to be in the center to be in charge of government affairs."
Hu Xi smiled and said: "You two, the Ming Dynasty is different from the past. With Mobei in hand, there is no need to raise horses in Huaisi. The horse breeding land can even be left outside the customs..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Hong said: "What if Mobei is lost? Will Ma Zheng continue?"
"Yes, there are hundreds of benefits to raising horses in Mobei, no need to go into details."
"But what if the horse breeding land is lost."
"The Ming Dynasty has fallen into a passive position. When there is no horse available, what should the Ming Dynasty do?"
Wang Fu said seriously: "I will enter the palace immediately to advise Your Majesty!"
Because the emperor can listen to advice.
Therefore, they openly discussed the situation of the DPRK and even criticized the emperor, but the emperor would accept it calmly.
This is also the reason why there are so many capable ministers nowadays.
The emperor wants capable ministers, and capable ministers are naturally like crucian carps crossing the river.
If the emperor wants to be a coward, then there will be sycophants everywhere.
"Old Wangge, don't be impatient, just listen to what I have to say."
Hu Xi smiled and said: "As long as Li Daitao's plan is completed and Mobei is firmly controlled by the Ming Dynasty for 30 years, it cannot be lost."
"As long as Mobei can grow food, not only to support the capital, but also to be self-sufficient, Mobei will always be in the hands of the Ming Dynasty."
"It is an inevitable result that the land where horses are raised will move north."
"Because, His Majesty plans to change the course of the Yellow River and cure it completely starting next year!"
"It will take ten or even 20 years to return the Yellow River to its original waterway."
"Let the Yellow River become the mother river of China again."
This news is really shocking.
Wang Hong and Wang Fu looked at each other: "Didn't Your Majesty say that in the court?"
"Not yet."
"Because we are waiting for money from Jiangxi. This money is used to repair the Yellow River."
Hu Xi said: "Your Majesty not only wants to repair the Yellow River, but also wants to cure it! Great cure!"
"We also need to repair waterways across the country, connect various water systems, clean up silt, and add irrigation canals."
"Your Majesty plans to invest 30 million taels of silver in [-] years to improve the water problem in the world."
"Moreover, we will not let the people suffer from floods anymore!"
Wang Hong and Wang Fu looked excited when they saw each other.
Cure the Yellow River!
This is something that many officials would never dare to dream about.
In the past, the Yellow River did not flood every year, let alone harm the people on both sides of the river.
But since the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River has become a scourge, flooding every year and causing harm to people every year.
For example, Huaisi was originally the richest place in the world, but because the Yellow River changed its course and the Yellow River and Yangtze River estuaries overlapped, the land of the two Huaihe Rivers became a vast ocean.
When the water in the Yellow River recedes, the entire soil will become desertified, and people will have to slowly clean it up. After the water is cleaned up, the Yellow River will flood again, year after year.
Hundreds of years have passed, the rulers chose to ignore it, hundreds of officials praised their virtues, and with a stroke of a pen in the history books, the prosperous age came.
But no one looked at the common people, who lived worse than dogs.
The reason why the emperor hated the Song Dynasty was because the Yellow River changed its course. The Song Dynasty was the culprit!
"Your Majesty is really willing to spend [-] million taels of silver to control floods?" Wang Hong was obviously trembling.
Hu Xi nodded: "The people on both sides of the Yellow River are suffering. There have been 77 floods this year, and countless people have died. Your Majesty cannot bear to read this suddenly."
"I rarely see His Majesty cry, but every time a disaster strikes the people, His Majesty will shed tears."
"Your Majesty will definitely do it!"
"Although we didn't discuss it in the court, we were actually waiting for the silver from Jiangxi."
"When Yinliang comes to Beijing, we will start talking about water control next year."
This topic is very heavy.
The land of China has been developed and destroyed for more than 4000 years, and has reached an old age.
The reason why no emperor is willing to control floods.
Because this is not a martial art, how can conquering a few countries shine in the annals of history?
Zhu Qiyu decided to deal with this mess.
The benefits lie in the future, but only he, Zhu Qiyu, cannot enjoy them.
Just like Yang Guang of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
Wang Hong choked up and said: "China seems to be prosperous, but in fact it is just superficial."
"Why are the prosperous times of all dynasties so short-lived and fleeting in the blink of an eye?"
"It's because the so-called wealthy are all from the upper class, and the benefits are being sucked away by this class, gradually growing and becoming a cancer."
"And the people are suffering. Even in the prosperous times, it is difficult to make ends meet. How can there be any surplus food?"
"So the prosperous times are destined to be short-lived."
“It was prosperous but then declined, falling off a cliff!”
"This is an ancient truth."
With that said, Wang Hong knelt down in the direction of the Forbidden City: "If your Majesty is really willing to spend [-] million taels of silver to regulate the Yellow River, improve its channels, and cure the Yellow River, so that the people will not suffer from floods, he will be the most benevolent monarch in the history!"
Indisputable!
"If the people are prosperous, they will be safe, and if the people are prosperous, they will be stable. As long as the people in the world live a good life, how can there be any rebellion?"
"How come the Ming Dynasty cannot last forever?"
Wang Hong wiped away his tears and bowed respectfully three times and kowtowed: "I am willing to be shattered into pieces when it comes to water control!"
Hu Hui and Wang Fu also knelt on the ground and shouted long live.
Flood control not only costs money, but also affects the interests of many strata, so Wang Hong said that he would be shattered to pieces.
The three of them were in tears.
Although they were in the cabinet, the three of them felt the deepest. There were countless memorials reporting disasters every day, and they were approved every day, which made people feel heartbroken.
"I'm afraid [-] million taels is not enough." Wang Fu made a rough calculation.
Hu Xi said: "Your Majesty said, no matter how much money is spent, we must manage the world's rivers!"
"But civil servants may have to be recruited frequently. If it can be like this year, it would be nice to give them some money."
Wang Fu knew it was unrealistic.
If the duration of flood control is extended to 30 years, hundreds of millions of laborers may be recruited. If the money is really needed, it may be doubled.
Four hundred million taels?
No one dares to think of this number.
"The people are in trouble. It's right to give them some money. It's also great to improve their lives."
Wang Hong rolled his eyes and came up with a vicious plan: "The old master's Li Daitao Zombie plan can be used by foreigners to help the country repair the river. The country has raised so many troops, so they must contribute to the country."
Wang Fu was dumbfounded: "Is it harmful to heaven's virtue?"
"Your Majesty said that the people of Ming Dynasty are human beings, but the people of other countries are human beings, right?"
Wang Hong sneered: "Let them serve the country, that is an opportunity given to them."
"In 30 years, when the waterways across the country are repaired, they will be allowed to become Mingren at worst."
"What a great kindness this is."
In other words, capture slaves and use them to death.
"Old Master, what do you think?" Wang Hong looked at Hu Hui.
Hu Biao nodded: "That's okay, but in recent years we have to use the country to lord it over the people."
"Just give money, the people of the country will give money, and the people of other countries will have to serve as husbands." Wang Hong made a good move and treated him differently.
Wang Fu said: "It is detrimental to the way of saints, but water control is a matter of praying for the common people. Letting them follow the ancient path of the sages is also to educate them."
Hypocrisy, Wang Fu!
Wang Hong said excitedly: "I will write the memorial tonight and report it to Your Majesty."
Compared with the radical cure of the Yellow River, Taipu Temple is nothing at all.
Hu Xi said, "So your Majesty wants to clean up Taipu Temple. Do you understand?"
The emperor no longer wanted to raise horses in the interior.
Taipu Temple wanted to operate outside the Great Wall and needed a capable minister to preside over it. Sun Hong was completely useless, so the emperor wanted to squeeze out his oil and water and kick him out.
The money should be reserved for radical treatment of the Yellow River.
Wang Hong and Wang Fuxing rushed back to write the memorial.
Hu Bi was no longer in the mood to read. He began to collect information about the Yellow River. Will he be able to see the Yellow River after its radical treatment in his lifetime?
And in the palace.
Lin Cong transferred the money and had already set off from Henan. The report was sent to the palace first.
At the same time, Zhu Yi's memorial also arrived.
Shen Xuan also entered Beijing.
"Let Xu Gan go to trial."
After Zhu Qiyu read it, he threw the memorial to Feng Xiao: "Zhu Yi did a good job, reward him!"
He found that Zhu Yi was not good at fighting and was suitable for playing politics.
"It depends on Lin Cong's intention. He is not willing to escort the money."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "The road from Henan to Beijing has been cleared many times. There are no bandits. Let Yang Jun lead the army to respond. Lin Cong will be responsible for transporting the silver out of Henan. Let Yang Jun take charge of Beizhili."
On the one hand, Lin Cong wants to focus on cleaning up Henan;
On the other hand, Mrs. Lin is pregnant and must give some face.
"The slaves obey the orders!"
"He Zhien."
Zhu Qiyu called out: "Take someone to inspect the capital and see how the people's homes are preparing for the winter."
He Zhien knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, it's been very cold this year. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the people at home."
"I know. Go and have a look. Don't go in official uniform. Pay a private visit incognito so that I can have an idea."
"You have to see it with your own eyes to know anything."
"Next year I will see how we can improve the lives of people in Gyeonggi."
Zhu Qiyu may be the first emperor in history to value people's livelihood.
In other words, it is unprecedented and unprecedented.
How can any ruler take the people seriously?
"The emperor regards the common people as his own sons and daughters, which is a blessing to the common people." He Zhien choked with tears.
"Go."
Send He Zhien away.
Zhu Qiyu continued to deal with the memorial.
"Fu Yuan, with my imperial edict, go and inspect the Gyeonggi granary and see if the grain is piled up like a mountain."
Fu Yuan knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, do you want to check the warehouses one by one?"
"Check carefully and open all the grains to see if there is any adulteration inside."
"Look at the quality of the grain. It's completely different from what the memorial said."
"Quantity and quality, can they match up?"
"Remember, we need to check randomly."
"The news must not leak out."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sinister: "If you hold my Emperor's Sword, whoever dares to stop you will be killed!"
"If there is a problem, leave it to Dongchang to investigate."
"My slave obeys the order!" Fu Yuan was so excited that he left the palace to show off his power.
Fu Yuan just went out.
Feng Xiao came in and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to have dinner."
"Is Prince Zheng here?" Zhu Qiyu stood up and moved around.
"Waiting in the side hall."
"Xuan come in and have dinner with me."
The food the emperor ate was not delicious at all. It took an hour from the time it was cooked in the Shangshi Bureau to the time it reached the emperor's dining table. Every time he passed through a door, there were eunuchs and maids testing the poison.
They passed one by one and were finally delivered to the emperor's dining table.
Feng Xiao eats first.
After using it, after a period of time, it was confirmed that it was non-toxic, and then the emperor was invited to have a meal.
There is a small charcoal stove under the food box, which keeps heating. Not to mention the taste, it must be unpalatable. The main thing is safety.
Zhu Qiyu sat at the dining table.
King Zheng stood cautiously.
Eat without speaking and sleep without speaking.
Zhu Qiyu only ate and did not talk.
King Zheng stood and smelled.
I didn't give him any bowls or chopsticks, nor gave him a seat, nor did I let him eat.
Soon, Zhu Qiyu finished using it, wiped his mouth, and stood up slowly: "Uncle Wang, use it."
Feelings want me to eat the leftovers?
King Zheng didn't dare not use it, so he picked up the bowls and chopsticks and took a few bites. The taste was definitely not good.
"Uncle Wang has such a small appetite?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
King Zheng immediately knelt down and said, "Wei Chen feels uncomfortable in his abdomen and dare not eat more."
"You waste it if you don't eat it."
what?
The emperor didn't seem to hear him. I have a stomachache and can't eat.
Feng Xiao came over and put the bowls and chopsticks into Prince Zheng's hands: "Your Majesty asked you to eat, so please eat quickly."
King Zheng was helpless and struggled to stand up.
But Feng Xiao patted him on the shoulder.
King Zheng understood, and the emperor asked him to eat on his knees.
He ate a few more mouthfuls with tears in his eyes. First, the food was unpalatable;
Both of them were kneeling in pain and felt aggrieved;
He really didn't want to eat any of the three.
let it go again.
"What? Do you think the food in the palace is unpalatable?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty, I really can't eat anymore."
"Eat!" Zhu Qiyu scolded.
King Zheng was so frightened that he had to pick up the bowl and chopsticks and continue stuffing them inside.
My stomach is bursting.
The food on the dinner table was all eaten up in a hurry.
"Another bowl of rice for Uncle Wang."
King Zheng quickly shook his head: "Your Majesty, I really can't eat anymore."
It's already in my throat, and I can spit it out when I speak.
The eunuch of Keshang Food Bureau has delivered a bowl of white rice.
There is bread and rice on the emperor's table.
In order to supplement sufficient nutrition, Zhu Qiyu will eat a piece of pancake, a bowl of rice, or a bowl of noodles and a bowl of corn rice to go with it.
Vegetables and meat are also properly matched, and most of them are medicinal foods to help the body's health.
King Zheng choked on another bowl of rice. He couldn't hold it anymore and vomited it out.
He feels sick when he sees food now.
"Uncle Wang, why did you vomit?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
King Zheng lay prone on the ground: "Wei Chen knows the crime, Wei Chen knows the crime!"
The body is in a tight position and vomits when talking.
"What crime are you asking for?" Zhu Qiyu was still taking a walk.
He only eats eight times full, eats five to six times a day, and pays great attention to exercise.
Originally, during this interval, the lecturer was supposed to teach him about reading books, and he had to listen to the lectures every time he ate.
He didn't waste any minute and arranged it fully.
"Wei Chen has two major sins!"
"First of all, it is a grave sin to be disobedient in front of the palace!"
"Secondly, if a minor official becomes interested in wealth, fails to pay royalties, and affects the government, he will be punished by death!"
King Zheng understood.
"Since you can't eat, why do you have to eat to the fullest?"
Zhu Qiyu came over and pointedly said: "Are you challenging my bottom line?"
"Wei Chen doesn't dare, Wei Chen doesn't dare!" King Zheng broke into a cold sweat.
"You didn't dare, but you did it!"
"As soon as I established the patent office, you came out to stir up trouble!"
"What?"
"Hit my face!" Zhu Qiyu kicked him, knocking King Zheng over.
Due to gravity, King Zheng opened his mouth and spit it out.
A sour smell spread in the dining room.
"Eat it!"
Zhu Qiyu's face was fierce: "If you don't eat it, I will remove your prince! I will let you go to the Ren Temple to keep vigil!"
King Zheng got up and put the vomited filth into his mouth bit by bit.
The dignified prince.
Life is worse than a dog.
"The world is short of food, and you still waste it!"
"I ate so much that I vomited myself, and I'm still eating!"
"I set up a patent office, but you were the first to destroy it."
"You don't want to stay in Daming anymore?"
"I still want to smash my fault!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sharp: "Preach the decree to take back King Zheng's woolen mill and no business is allowed!"
"Prince Zheng himself is guilty, but thinking of the family ties of the Tian family, he shuts himself up and thinks about his mistakes. He is not allowed to see anyone. He is given a one-month deadline to reflect on himself!"
King Zheng was relieved that the emperor did not punish him severely.
"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" King Zheng quickly kowtowed to express his gratitude.
"Prince Zheng, tell me, who ordered you?"
Zhu Qiyu thought that King Zheng was very sensible and that he was unreasonable and had a falling out with the emperor over the issue of money.
Prince Zheng's face changed slightly as he lay on the ground.
"I'm giving you a chance."
King Zheng hesitated for a long time.
"That's all, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. Go back." Zhu Qiyu took a sip of tea and went to the front hall to handle government affairs.
Prince Zheng was stunned and crawled over to him: "Your Majesty, it's not that I didn't say anything, but..."
Zhu Qiyu stopped and looked back at him: "If you continue to be so nagging, I will take back the prince's title!"
"It was decided by all the kings together!"
I just knew there was something evil going on here.
"Your Majesty, I am also of Taizu's blood and are your clansmen!"
King Zheng cried and said: "You don't allow your ministers to participate in government affairs and restrict them to the capital, but you must give them some money so that they can live a good life!"
Taizu's plan for the clan was quite reasonable.
The salary is very low and only supports five generations.
However, Emperor Taizong used money in exchange for the military power of the clan, causing the kings to indulge in eating, drinking and enjoying themselves.
I wish I could eat duck tongue every day and then throw away all the ducks. My life is extravagant to the extreme.
"Didn't I give you a good enough life?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
King Zheng dared not speak.
Are people living today’s lives?
A big family lives in a small house.
The Baiwang Mansion is under construction, so you can wait.
But a meal only has more than thirty dishes. Is that how people live?
"Look what I eat? You all eat better than me!"
"Look at what I'm wearing. This dragon robe was made in the sixth year of Jingtai. It's been three years. Have I changed it?"
"Your python robe is the latest gift from me this year."
"Which prince, I didn't give you a robe? Who didn't change into new clothes?"
"Only the house is a little worse for living."
"But the Hundred Palaces are being built under supervision. Each palace is magnificent. Are you blind? Can't you see it?"
"How have I wronged you?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sharp: "What? When you saw me cleaning up Jiangxi, you sensed an opportunity coming?"
"Come on!"
"Send all the kings here!"
"Kneel down outside the Yangxin Hall!"
"I want to ask who is thinking about something they shouldn't have!"
King Zheng was stunned.
Isn't the emperor's power of association too strong?
Who is planning to usurp the throne?
But then I thought about it, the emperor's cleanup of Jiangxi had already affected the interests of the gentry, otherwise why would he have ordered Fan Guang and Yu Kang back to guard the capital.
But at this juncture, they challenged the emperor's bottom line.
Isn't this just throwing stones to ask for directions?
Hit yourself at the muzzle.
"I have always been very tolerant of the clan."
"But you take my kindness towards you as nothing more than a donkey's liver and lungs!"
"Okay, I want to see who has such a weird mind!"
"Who is so ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth! Who has let down my kindness!"
Zhu Qiyu wants to use the topic again.
There were so many princes, and he looked upset.
This time I will demote a few princes.
Let the clan return the prince obediently.
And in Guangdong.
Lu Gao and Ou Xin meet.
Lu Gao's injury has not healed yet, but the emperor ordered him to leave the capital to give him a chance.
Zhu Yong had already driven Lin Jie and his gang into the sea.
However, the coastal damage was severe and tens of thousands of people suffered.
I'm afraid the imperial edict of punishment from the central government is coming soon.
Navy!Navy!
Zhu Yong was greatly stimulated and became very depressed when he returned to Hailang.
He wants to practice his navy.
Ou Xin and Lu Gao have already entered Guangzhou Mansion.
Ou Xin is responsible for cleaning up the cottage.
Lu Gao is responsible for checking people.
Ou Xin was in Lianzhou, attacking Zhugang, Rennei and Xingzi, and then went into Huayin Mountain and Mangshan Mountain to raid.
Lu Gao appeared in Guangzhou.
Guangzhou was not affected by the war at all and remained prosperous.
You can see different-looking people on the street doing various businesses.
Lu Gao also came to Guangzhou for the first time, but he was surprised by the prosperity of Guangzhou. It was no less prosperous than the capital.
But the difference is that the currency here is silver.
Treasure notes and copper coins are rarely seen.
There are many foreigners.
Lu Gao went to see Liu Zhenhai first.
Liu Zhenhai is in the Yamen of the Municipal Shipping Department.
He also received a secret letter from the Central Privy Council, ordering him to cooperate with Ou Xin and Lu Gao.
Let's meet each other after greetings.
"Sir, have you noticed something unusual about the governor of Guangdong, Hou Chen?" Lu Gao got straight to the point.
Liu Zhenhai was slightly startled: "Tiqi wants to investigate Hou Chen?"
"Before he died, Lin Hao said that there is no clean person in Guangdong's officialdom!"
Lu Gao said seriously: "What your Majesty means is that the sky in Guangdong can only be your Majesty, not anyone else!"
Liu Zhenhai was startled.
What this means is that Fang Ying is coming back.
Fang Ying personally took charge of cleaning up Guangdong.
"When the emperor said this, was he angry?" Liu Zhenhai also prepared some good things to present to the palace. It's almost the Chinese New Year.
"nature."
Lu Gao still remembered His Majesty's instructions before leaving the capital.
Liu Zhenhai's eyes flickered: "This..."
"Sir, I'll let you know in advance."
Lu Gao said: "The Shipping Department will be closed soon. Your Majesty will follow the example of Jiangxi, blockade Guangdong, and conduct an inventory of Guangdong."
Liu Zhenhai looked at Ouxin's road map again.
Ou Xin will go from Mangshan to Shaozhou, go east along Hunan and Jiangxi, and finally go to Chaoshan Prefecture to close the east channel.
Then, Guangdong will be completely locked up like a cage and investigated.
"But the Shipping Company has a lot of goods..."
"Your Majesty doesn't care about that little money."
Lu Gao said calmly: "Even after the blockade, no ships are allowed to dock, and no ships are allowed to leave the port. Foreigners will also be investigated. Those who should be investigated will be investigated, and those who should be killed will be killed!"
"This is the emperor's order!"
Liu Zhenhai was shocked and could see His Majesty's determination.
No wonder the emperor transferred Leizhou to Guangxi.
Let Qiongzhou Prefecture be far away from Guangdong, so that no one can escape to Qiongzhou.
You need to take the road from Guangxi to get to Qiongzhou Prefecture.
Since then, the emperor has been planning an inventory of Guangdong.
"What about Fujian?" Liu Zhenhai asked.
But Lu Gao laughed: "Sir, we just take care of Guangdong's affairs and give His Majesty a satisfactory explanation. Naturally, we will be high officials and well-paid. Other matters have nothing to do with us."
Liu Zhenhai nodded.
He has been quite greedy over the years.
Those smuggling ships would not be able to leave the harbor without him turning a blind eye.
In fact, there is no clean place in Guangdong.
If we conduct a thorough investigation, will it lead to a rebellion in Guangdong?
That's not nonsense.
Guangdong is not the land of Longxing at all. There is Guangxi next to it. Fang Ying has more than 100 million Guangxi wolf soldiers in his hands. Guangdong can be pacified in a blink of an eye. The rebellion is lonely.
This is the confidence of the emperor.
"Then close the port now?" Liu Zhenhai did not dare to have other thoughts.
"Don't be busy for the time being. When the European ginseng general arrives in Chaoshan Prefecture, he will send a letter. After Mr. Liu receives the letter, he will close the port and no entry or exit is allowed."
In other words, Fang Ying will return to Guangdong at that time.
After a confidential discussion between the two parties.
Lu Gao then went to visit the chief envoy of Guangdong, Hou Chen.
Hou Chen was also very depressed.
After being deprived of his official position by the emperor, he was strangely allowed to serve on his behalf.
And Tiqi came to investigate.
Hou Chen was so full of shit that he didn't dare to let the investigation go.
He wanted to escape to Annan.
But King Annan refused to accept it, and Annan did not want to fight. What's more, the Ming Dynasty had millions of troops on the border, and King Annan had already sent envoys to sue for peace.
They also donated a hundred ships of food and begged the Ming Emperor not to attack Annan.
According to normal operations, the grain will definitely not be transported.
The suzerain country, the Ming Dynasty, would also reward them with a lot of gold and silver.
What Daming wants is face.
When Lu Gao entered the government envoy's office, his first words scared the marquis to death.
"I heard that the Chief Envoy has contacted Annan?" Lu Gao asked coldly.
"Deputy Commander Lu, one of my clan moved to Annan during the Yongle Dynasty. It's just normal communication."
The corner of Lu Gao's mouth raised: "That is to say, the master admitted it?"
"What did you admit?" Hou Chen's heart trembled.
Tiqi's reputation is not outstanding.
But since the establishment of the factory guard this year, it has handled several major cases and has become famous.
"Admit to having an affair with Annan!" Lu Gao sneered.
"This is a letter from home..."
Lu Gao waved his hand: "Where is the letter?"
"Already sent."
"What I said is the original. What is the content of your letter?" Lu Gao asked.
Hou Chen smiled bitterly and said that he could repeat the contents of the letter.
"There is no evidence, and based on your mouth, who can believe it?"
"Then there's nothing I can do about it!" Hou Chen could only lie.
"Then let's go with the official." Lu Gao bought a private house and used it as an interrogation room.
Hou Chen was helpless and asked him to go to the back office to say goodbye to his wife.
Lu Gao went with him.
But after he entered the house, he closed the door.
After waiting for a moment, I heard the sound of a stool falling to the ground.
Lu Gao pushed aside the blocking servant and kicked open the door. He saw Hou Chen hanging from the beam, and Lu Gao hurried to save him.
After all, it was a step too late. Hou Chen was worried about being hanged and was rescued, and even took poison.
People are dead.
"Come on!"
"Arrest everyone!"
"Hou Chen committed suicide out of fear of crime, so let's put his family on trial!"
Lu Gao messed up everything.
The news that the chief envoy Hou Chen committed suicide spread quickly in Guangzhou.
Liu Zhenhai came in a hurry and said reproachfully: "Why are you so careless in doing things?"
"How will it end this time?"
Liu Zhenhai also had no idea.
"I don't know." Lu Gao originally wanted to use Hou Chen as a breakthrough point, but Hou Chen committed suicide.
Liu Zhenhai smiled bitterly: "Send someone to ask Governor Fang to impose martial law in Guangdong in advance!"
That's all.
But Fang Ying, who was in Siming Mansion, cursed: "You can't even handle this!"
Things in Guangxi are not finished yet.
He was driving the chieftain to Annan.
Go to Cholera Annan.
Annan sent an envoy to condemn him, but Fang Ying drove him out without even seeing him.
It is estimated that Annan's envoys have already set off for Beijing to cry to the emperor.
We can only divide 2 people and give them to Wang Qi and Zhang Gang to guard Siming Mansion.
Chen Wenwen was left to guard Longzhou Mansion.
Then the generals were divided, and the wolf soldiers who had family matters stayed in Guangxi to establish the Guangxi Army, while the rest went to Guangdong by ship.
Transporting more than [-] people to Guangdong requires extremely high transportation capacity.
The wolf soldiers calmed down.
There was food and drink provided, and there was a play to watch.
Because if they just go to fight, if they immigrate, [-]% of them will rebel immediately.
Fang Ying needs to be in charge of the rear army.
Follow the last wave of fleet into Guangdong.
In the Municipal Shipping Department, a large number of fleets have already set sail.
A few days after Hou Chen's death, people in Guangdong were in turmoil, and many people were preparing to leave Guangdong.
But they were blocked by Guangdong soldiers.
No sailing allowed.
Those ships all had weapons, and they opened fire directly with the Ming army.
Liu Zhenhai led his warships to intercept them at Hutou Pass, shelled and sunk more than 100 ships, and forcibly detained them.
Arrest all those who attempt to sail the ship.
Suddenly, Guangdong was in turmoil.
Ou Xin in Mangshan also speeded up.
Constantly dividing troops along the way, he went to Chaoshan Prefecture to block the route out of the east and block the border between Guangdong and Fujian.
Duan Si'e's troops left Leizhou Prefecture and cut off the original border between Guangdong and Guangxi.
At the same time, the troops were divided into coastal defenses.
Stop pirates from landing.
People are not even allowed to build private boats and go to sea.
The whole Guangdong is in turmoil.
The first wave of fleets belonging to the Governor's Mansion have already docked. They are all Guangxi wolf soldiers and are deploying defenses along the coastline as ordered.
Zhu Yong, who was in Hailangsuo, received the order and moved to Guanghaiwei to supervise the construction of ships and guard against pirates.
Because of Lu Gao's mistakes, the whole of Guangdong had to wipe his ass.
A good plan must be launched in advance.
Errors and omissions are inevitable.
He was very sorry.
Therefore, he vented his anger on the merchants who tried to go offshore.
Who cares what country he is from?
All sentenced to death.
"Sir, I am a merchant from the Champa Kingdom. The Champa Kingdom is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty!" A merchant was dying.
Lu Gao interrogated him personally: "Since it is a vassal state, it is even more important to listen to the Ming Dynasty!"
"I want to ask you, why is there porcelain on your ship?"
"Purchased." The merchant was horrified.
"Can you buy a boat? Who sold it to you?" Lu Gao was holding back his anger.
The Ming Dynasty did not open the sea.
Merchants are not allowed to purchase within the territory of Ming Dynasty.
Of course, this rule also deceived the emperor. The prosperity of Guangzhou was brought about by these foreign businessmen.
He offered a shop that made porcelain.
Lu Gao sent someone to copy it, and then dragged him in for interrogation.
He rented out the whole street.
There were too many people arrested and they couldn't be interrogated.
Tiqi brought 200 people, and they were all extremely busy.
We are still transferring people from the capital.
The porcelain shop merchant admitted that the porcelain was smuggled out of Jingdezhen.
This is a smuggling clue.
When Lu Gao left Beijing, he knew that porcelain smuggling had been discovered in Jiangxi.
But exactly how does this line go?
Haven't found out yet.
Lu Gao asked people to record it, but he didn't have time to care about such trivial matters.
Who in Guangdong has any connection with maritime merchants?
Lu Gao took the opportunity to raid all the shops on the street and sent people to interrogate each house. The result was that he didn't know if he didn't check, and he was shocked when he checked.
Merchants in Guangzhou are inextricably linked to smuggling.
Their goods are all smuggled goods.
Silk from Sichuan, paper from Qianshan, iron pots from Foshan, cotton from Songjiang, porcelain from Jingdezhen and other goods.
Basically they are smuggled.
Then sell them to foreign investors at low prices.
This is an industrial chain.
According to their explanation, there is another line where merchants collect goods in Guangzhou, collect enough goods, and then transport them out of Ming Dynasty by pirates to the south of the sea for trading.
These were mainly sold to Persian merchants, and the price would be slightly higher.
Dashi merchants are willing to land on the mainland and buy directly, avoiding the pirates who make the difference.
But such merchants are easily robbed by pirates.
Over time, foreign businessmen are willing to go to the south for acquisitions, resulting in fewer foreign businessmen in Guangzhou.
There are fewer foreign businessmen, and local businessmen are getting involved. Goods purchased through formal channels are too expensive.
But the goods smuggled out from official factories in various places have no cost, so they are cheap.
Therefore, smuggling in official factories became common.
Relying on price to attract foreign businessmen to take risks and purchase goods locally.
There is a second line.
"The sea in the south? Where is it?" Lu Gao asked.
"It's Siam!"
Siam?
Lugao realized it, and the basket got bigger.
When the emperor finds out, he will definitely get angry and attack Siam!
He compiled all the interrogation results into a memorial and presented it to the palace.

(End of this chapter)
Taifu's house.
Hu Hui was sitting in front of the stove, reading a book.
It was a unique copy copied from the palace, and I read it with relish.
Since the palace's collection of books has been made public.
Scholars from all over the world gathered in the capital from thousands of miles away and went to Tantai Library to copy books.
Because there were so many people copying books, the Tantai Library set a time to hang the books and let the literati copy them, while the eunuchs were responsible for turning the pages.
No one is allowed to touch it with hands, let alone damage it.
Such harshness was praised by the literati. If the eunuch turned over the book roughly, he would be scolded by the literati.
The copying of books formed an industry in the capital.
Some people rely on first-hand copying of books to sell them at high prices and earn the price difference; others sell their skills and make money by copying books for others; there are also merchants who engrave books and sell them to other provinces.
Suddenly, the literati in the capital were excited.
Emperor Jingtai, who had a very bad reputation in the eyes of literati, actually had a different attitude. Some literati wrote articles and published newspapers praising the emperor, and there were countless admirers.
Eight years before Jingtai, Zhu Qiyu had received a lot of praise.
But in the eight years since Jingtai, he has been reviled by people all over the world. Some people even made a villain with Zhu Qiyu's name written on it and pricked him with silver needles every day. The factory guards solved more than a dozen witchcraft cases.
However, because of the public collection of books, the reputation has improved.
Hu Hui loved books very much. In order to collect the Tantai collection of books, he opened a printing factory, printed them himself, and then collected the best ones and read them every day.
He shoveled the back garden of his home and built a library specifically for collecting books.
The young grandson Hu Yifan walked in quickly and saluted calmly: "Grandpa, two Wang Ge Lao came to the mansion to ask for an audience."
The eldest grandson Hu Yiqian works as a guard in the palace.
The eldest son Hu Changning and the second son Hu Xiu are not at home, and there are only one elder and one child in the family.
"Please come in."
Hu Xi closed the book and carefully placed it on the case.
He stared and threatened Hu Yifan: "You dare to curl up my grandfather's book, you little bastard, and my grandfather will hang you up and beat you!"
"Grandpa, don't worry, your grandson will be very careful when reading." Hu Yifan said with a smile.
Hu Yifan was precociously intelligent. When he was three years old, the meaning of the scriptures was explained to him and he was able to recite it.
But in Hu Hui's eyes, he doesn't think Hu Yifan is a sign of longevity.
And people who are too smart will take shortcuts and easily go astray, so they need strict teaching.
Just like a beetle, if you are gifted with early wisdom, if you don't die young, you will be a monster.
When he was 60 years old, he was born with a beard.
But he was never doting on Hu Xi, and was even extremely strict, just to make him guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and not to be clever.He is not allowed to be born even in his 20s, it is necessary to suppress him and hone him before he can shine.
He had four sons in his life, two of whom did not live to adulthood, one was sickly, and the other was precocious, and neither of them lived past the age of ten.
After accidentally discovering that Hu Wei was precocious, he was worried and worried that he would die young. Therefore, he paid special attention to Hu Wei and painstakingly studied medical skills. It was because of the mercy of God that he saved Hu Wei.
Just as he was thinking about it, the door curtain was opened, and Wang Hong and Wang Fu walked in.
After greetings.
"Old Master, Your Majesty hastily rectified the horse administration. Is it too hasty?" Wang Hong originally wanted to go to the palace to dissuade him, but was stopped by Wang Fu, so he came to visit Hu Ming to discuss with Hu Ming.
When the servant brought tea, Hu Hu pursed her lips and said nothing.
Wang Hong has an upright temperament and is good at making poisonous plans.
Just as he was about to question, Wang Fu said, "Does the old lady have other ideas?"
"Please use tea. This is the royal tea given by the palace."
Hu Xi took a sip, chewed and said, "You two, do you know the deep meaning of His Majesty's move?"
Wang Hong was stunned.
He looked at Wang Fu.
He immediately smiled bitterly and said: "The political situation is now in a precarious state."
"Your Majesty should be careful in his words and actions instead of making enemies rashly."
"If Ma Zheng is investigated, it will probably be another big event that will shock the world."
“There are too many things to do this year, so we should slow down a bit.”
Hu Xi smiled and said nothing.
Wang Fu asked in surprise: "Is your Majesty's move paving the way for Ma Wen to be promoted to Beijing?"
Wang Hong was stunned, who is this Ma Wensheng?
In order to pave the way for him, the emperor reorganized the entire Taipu Temple and directly asked for money, even without shame.
"This is just one of them!"
Hu Xi put down the tea cup: "Have you seen Ma Wensheng's resume? This person is very famous among the people..."
Wang Hong sneered, these are common tactics used by officials.
Find something to make a name for yourself, and then find some flatterers to brag about, and your good reputation will spread naturally. It's a routine operation.
To make a name for yourself, don’t be slanderous.
"No, His Majesty wrote three letters to him, one asking about the situation of the court; the second asking about military affairs; and the third asking about people's livelihood."
"His answer made His Majesty highly praised him, saying that he is a minister who governs the world."
Hu Xi smiled and said: "Will you question His Majesty's vision?"
It won't.
Since the eighth year of Jingtai, all the people employed by the emperor have been talented people.
Putting people to their best use shows how the emperor views people.
"Is this Ma Wensheng really so powerful?" Wang Fu was surprised.
Wang Hong disagrees: "Talents are honed."
"Even if you are a talented person, you have to hone it slowly in a place."
"It will take ten or twenty years to enter the center step by step."
"Plugging young people to encourage them like your Majesty will only make the genius fall into the dust."
Hu Hui and Wang Fu agreed with this.
They all trained in many positions before entering the center step by step.
Therefore, he remains steady and has a high level of governance.
"But you don't have to be in the center to be in charge of government affairs."
Hu Xi smiled and said: "You two, the Ming Dynasty is different from the past. With Mobei in hand, there is no need to raise horses in Huaisi. The horse breeding land can even be left outside the customs..."
Before he finished speaking, Wang Hong said: "What if Mobei is lost? Will Ma Zheng continue?"
"Yes, there are hundreds of benefits to raising horses in Mobei, no need to go into details."
"But what if the horse breeding land is lost."
"The Ming Dynasty has fallen into a passive position. When there is no horse available, what should the Ming Dynasty do?"
Wang Fu said seriously: "I will enter the palace immediately to advise Your Majesty!"
Because the emperor can listen to advice.
Therefore, they openly discussed the situation of the DPRK and even criticized the emperor, but the emperor would accept it calmly.
This is also the reason why there are so many capable ministers nowadays.
The emperor wants capable ministers, and capable ministers are naturally like crucian carps crossing the river.
If the emperor wants to be a coward, then there will be sycophants everywhere.
"Old Wangge, don't be impatient, just listen to what I have to say."
Hu Xi smiled and said: "As long as Li Daitao's plan is completed and Mobei is firmly controlled by the Ming Dynasty for 30 years, it cannot be lost."
"As long as Mobei can grow food, not only to support the capital, but also to be self-sufficient, Mobei will always be in the hands of the Ming Dynasty."
"It is an inevitable result that the land where horses are raised will move north."
"Because, His Majesty plans to change the course of the Yellow River and cure it completely starting next year!"
"It will take ten or even 20 years to return the Yellow River to its original waterway."
"Let the Yellow River become the mother river of China again."
This news is really shocking.
Wang Hong and Wang Fu looked at each other: "Didn't Your Majesty say that in the court?"
"Not yet."
"Because we are waiting for money from Jiangxi. This money is used to repair the Yellow River."
Hu Xi said: "Your Majesty not only wants to repair the Yellow River, but also wants to cure it! Great cure!"
"We also need to repair waterways across the country, connect various water systems, clean up silt, and add irrigation canals."
"Your Majesty plans to invest 30 million taels of silver in [-] years to improve the water problem in the world."
"Moreover, we will not let the people suffer from floods anymore!"
Wang Hong and Wang Fu looked excited when they saw each other.
Cure the Yellow River!
This is something that many officials would never dare to dream about.
In the past, the Yellow River did not flood every year, let alone harm the people on both sides of the river.
But since the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River has become a scourge, flooding every year and causing harm to people every year.
For example, Huaisi was originally the richest place in the world, but because the Yellow River changed its course and the Yellow River and Yangtze River estuaries overlapped, the land of the two Huaihe Rivers became a vast ocean.
When the water in the Yellow River recedes, the entire soil will become desertified, and people will have to slowly clean it up. After the water is cleaned up, the Yellow River will flood again, year after year.
Hundreds of years have passed, the rulers chose to ignore it, hundreds of officials praised their virtues, and with a stroke of a pen in the history books, the prosperous age came.
But no one looked at the common people, who lived worse than dogs.
The reason why the emperor hated the Song Dynasty was because the Yellow River changed its course. The Song Dynasty was the culprit!
"Your Majesty is really willing to spend [-] million taels of silver to control floods?" Wang Hong was obviously trembling.
Hu Xi nodded: "The people on both sides of the Yellow River are suffering. There have been 77 floods this year, and countless people have died. Your Majesty cannot bear to read this suddenly."
"I rarely see His Majesty cry, but every time a disaster strikes the people, His Majesty will shed tears."
"Your Majesty will definitely do it!"
"Although we didn't discuss it in the court, we were actually waiting for the silver from Jiangxi."
"When Yinliang comes to Beijing, we will start talking about water control next year."
This topic is very heavy.
The land of China has been developed and destroyed for more than 4000 years, and has reached an old age.
The reason why no emperor is willing to control floods.
Because this is not a martial art, how can conquering a few countries shine in the annals of history?
Zhu Qiyu decided to deal with this mess.
The benefits lie in the future, but only he, Zhu Qiyu, cannot enjoy them.
Just like Yang Guang of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.
Wang Hong choked up and said: "China seems to be prosperous, but in fact it is just superficial."
"Why are the prosperous times of all dynasties so short-lived and fleeting in the blink of an eye?"
"It's because the so-called wealthy are all from the upper class, and the benefits are being sucked away by this class, gradually growing and becoming a cancer."
"And the people are suffering. Even in the prosperous times, it is difficult to make ends meet. How can there be any surplus food?"
"So the prosperous times are destined to be short-lived."
“It was prosperous but then declined, falling off a cliff!”
"This is an ancient truth."
With that said, Wang Hong knelt down in the direction of the Forbidden City: "If your Majesty is really willing to spend [-] million taels of silver to regulate the Yellow River, improve its channels, and cure the Yellow River, so that the people will not suffer from floods, he will be the most benevolent monarch in the history!"
Indisputable!
"If the people are prosperous, they will be safe, and if the people are prosperous, they will be stable. As long as the people in the world live a good life, how can there be any rebellion?"
"How come the Ming Dynasty cannot last forever?"
Wang Hong wiped away his tears and bowed respectfully three times and kowtowed: "I am willing to be shattered into pieces when it comes to water control!"
Hu Hui and Wang Fu also knelt on the ground and shouted long live.
Flood control not only costs money, but also affects the interests of many strata, so Wang Hong said that he would be shattered to pieces.
The three of them were in tears.
Although they were in the cabinet, the three of them felt the deepest. There were countless memorials reporting disasters every day, and they were approved every day, which made people feel heartbroken.
"I'm afraid [-] million taels is not enough." Wang Fu made a rough calculation.
Hu Xi said: "Your Majesty said, no matter how much money is spent, we must manage the world's rivers!"
"But civil servants may have to be recruited frequently. If it can be like this year, it would be nice to give them some money."
Wang Fu knew it was unrealistic.
If the duration of flood control is extended to 30 years, hundreds of millions of laborers may be recruited. If the money is really needed, it may be doubled.
Four hundred million taels?
No one dares to think of this number.
"The people are in trouble. It's right to give them some money. It's also great to improve their lives."
Wang Hong rolled his eyes and came up with a vicious plan: "The old master's Li Daitao Zombie plan can be used by foreigners to help the country repair the river. The country has raised so many troops, so they must contribute to the country."
Wang Fu was dumbfounded: "Is it harmful to heaven's virtue?"
"Your Majesty said that the people of Ming Dynasty are human beings, but the people of other countries are human beings, right?"
Wang Hong sneered: "Let them serve the country, that is an opportunity given to them."
"In 30 years, when the waterways across the country are repaired, they will be allowed to become Mingren at worst."
"What a great kindness this is."
In other words, capture slaves and use them to death.
"Old Master, what do you think?" Wang Hong looked at Hu Hui.
Hu Biao nodded: "That's okay, but in recent years we have to use the country to lord it over the people."
"Just give money, the people of the country will give money, and the people of other countries will have to serve as husbands." Wang Hong made a good move and treated him differently.
Wang Fu said: "It is detrimental to the way of saints, but water control is a matter of praying for the common people. Letting them follow the ancient path of the sages is also to educate them."
Hypocrisy, Wang Fu!
Wang Hong said excitedly: "I will write the memorial tonight and report it to Your Majesty."
Compared with the radical cure of the Yellow River, Taipu Temple is nothing at all.
Hu Xi said, "So your Majesty wants to clean up Taipu Temple. Do you understand?"
The emperor no longer wanted to raise horses in the interior.
Taipu Temple wanted to operate outside the Great Wall and needed a capable minister to preside over it. Sun Hong was completely useless, so the emperor wanted to squeeze out his oil and water and kick him out.
The money should be reserved for radical treatment of the Yellow River.
Wang Hong and Wang Fuxing rushed back to write the memorial.
Hu Bi was no longer in the mood to read. He began to collect information about the Yellow River. Will he be able to see the Yellow River after its radical treatment in his lifetime?
And in the palace.
Lin Cong transferred the money and had already set off from Henan. The report was sent to the palace first.
At the same time, Zhu Yi's memorial also arrived.
Shen Xuan also entered Beijing.
"Let Xu Gan go to trial."
After Zhu Qiyu read it, he threw the memorial to Feng Xiao: "Zhu Yi did a good job, reward him!"
He found that Zhu Yi was not good at fighting and was suitable for playing politics.
"It depends on Lin Cong's intention. He is not willing to escort the money."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "The road from Henan to Beijing has been cleared many times. There are no bandits. Let Yang Jun lead the army to respond. Lin Cong will be responsible for transporting the silver out of Henan. Let Yang Jun take charge of Beizhili."
On the one hand, Lin Cong wants to focus on cleaning up Henan;
On the other hand, Mrs. Lin is pregnant and must give some face.
"The slaves obey the orders!"
"He Zhien."
Zhu Qiyu called out: "Take someone to inspect the capital and see how the people's homes are preparing for the winter."
He Zhien knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, it's been very cold this year. I'm afraid it will be difficult for the people at home."
"I know. Go and have a look. Don't go in official uniform. Pay a private visit incognito so that I can have an idea."
"You have to see it with your own eyes to know anything."
"Next year I will see how we can improve the lives of people in Gyeonggi."
Zhu Qiyu may be the first emperor in history to value people's livelihood.
In other words, it is unprecedented and unprecedented.
How can any ruler take the people seriously?
"The emperor regards the common people as his own sons and daughters, which is a blessing to the common people." He Zhien choked with tears.
"Go."
Send He Zhien away.
Zhu Qiyu continued to deal with the memorial.
"Fu Yuan, with my imperial edict, go and inspect the Gyeonggi granary and see if the grain is piled up like a mountain."
Fu Yuan knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, do you want to check the warehouses one by one?"
"Check carefully and open all the grains to see if there is any adulteration inside."
"Look at the quality of the grain. It's completely different from what the memorial said."
"Quantity and quality, can they match up?"
"Remember, we need to check randomly."
"The news must not leak out."
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sinister: "If you hold my Emperor's Sword, whoever dares to stop you will be killed!"
"If there is a problem, leave it to Dongchang to investigate."
"My slave obeys the order!" Fu Yuan was so excited that he left the palace to show off his power.
Fu Yuan just went out.
Feng Xiao came in and said, "Your Majesty, it's time to have dinner."
"Is Prince Zheng here?" Zhu Qiyu stood up and moved around.
"Waiting in the side hall."
"Xuan come in and have dinner with me."
The food the emperor ate was not delicious at all. It took an hour from the time it was cooked in the Shangshi Bureau to the time it reached the emperor's dining table. Every time he passed through a door, there were eunuchs and maids testing the poison.
They passed one by one and were finally delivered to the emperor's dining table.
Feng Xiao eats first.
After using it, after a period of time, it was confirmed that it was non-toxic, and then the emperor was invited to have a meal.
There is a small charcoal stove under the food box, which keeps heating. Not to mention the taste, it must be unpalatable. The main thing is safety.
Zhu Qiyu sat at the dining table.
King Zheng stood cautiously.
Eat without speaking and sleep without speaking.
Zhu Qiyu only ate and did not talk.
King Zheng stood and smelled.
I didn't give him any bowls or chopsticks, nor gave him a seat, nor did I let him eat.
Soon, Zhu Qiyu finished using it, wiped his mouth, and stood up slowly: "Uncle Wang, use it."
Feelings want me to eat the leftovers?
King Zheng didn't dare not use it, so he picked up the bowls and chopsticks and took a few bites. The taste was definitely not good.
"Uncle Wang has such a small appetite?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
King Zheng immediately knelt down and said, "Wei Chen feels uncomfortable in his abdomen and dare not eat more."
"You waste it if you don't eat it."
what?
The emperor didn't seem to hear him. I have a stomachache and can't eat.
Feng Xiao came over and put the bowls and chopsticks into Prince Zheng's hands: "Your Majesty asked you to eat, so please eat quickly."
King Zheng was helpless and struggled to stand up.
But Feng Xiao patted him on the shoulder.
King Zheng understood, and the emperor asked him to eat on his knees.
He ate a few more mouthfuls with tears in his eyes. First, the food was unpalatable;
Both of them were kneeling in pain and felt aggrieved;
He really didn't want to eat any of the three.
let it go again.
"What? Do you think the food in the palace is unpalatable?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty, I really can't eat anymore."
"Eat!" Zhu Qiyu scolded.
King Zheng was so frightened that he had to pick up the bowl and chopsticks and continue stuffing them inside.
My stomach is bursting.
The food on the dinner table was all eaten up in a hurry.
"Another bowl of rice for Uncle Wang."
King Zheng quickly shook his head: "Your Majesty, I really can't eat anymore."
It's already in my throat, and I can spit it out when I speak.
The eunuch of Keshang Food Bureau has delivered a bowl of white rice.
There is bread and rice on the emperor's table.
In order to supplement sufficient nutrition, Zhu Qiyu will eat a piece of pancake, a bowl of rice, or a bowl of noodles and a bowl of corn rice to go with it.
Vegetables and meat are also properly matched, and most of them are medicinal foods to help the body's health.
King Zheng choked on another bowl of rice. He couldn't hold it anymore and vomited it out.
He feels sick when he sees food now.
"Uncle Wang, why did you vomit?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
King Zheng lay prone on the ground: "Wei Chen knows the crime, Wei Chen knows the crime!"
The body is in a tight position and vomits when talking.
"What crime are you asking for?" Zhu Qiyu was still taking a walk.
He only eats eight times full, eats five to six times a day, and pays great attention to exercise.
Originally, during this interval, the lecturer was supposed to teach him about reading books, and he had to listen to the lectures every time he ate.
He didn't waste any minute and arranged it fully.
"Wei Chen has two major sins!"
"First of all, it is a grave sin to be disobedient in front of the palace!"
"Secondly, if a minor official becomes interested in wealth, fails to pay royalties, and affects the government, he will be punished by death!"
King Zheng understood.
"Since you can't eat, why do you have to eat to the fullest?"
Zhu Qiyu came over and pointedly said: "Are you challenging my bottom line?"
"Wei Chen doesn't dare, Wei Chen doesn't dare!" King Zheng broke into a cold sweat.
"You didn't dare, but you did it!"
"As soon as I established the patent office, you came out to stir up trouble!"
"What?"
"Hit my face!" Zhu Qiyu kicked him, knocking King Zheng over.
Due to gravity, King Zheng opened his mouth and spit it out.
A sour smell spread in the dining room.
"Eat it!"
Zhu Qiyu's face was fierce: "If you don't eat it, I will remove your prince! I will let you go to the Ren Temple to keep vigil!"
King Zheng got up and put the vomited filth into his mouth bit by bit.
The dignified prince.
Life is worse than a dog.
"The world is short of food, and you still waste it!"
"I ate so much that I vomited myself, and I'm still eating!"
"I set up a patent office, but you were the first to destroy it."
"You don't want to stay in Daming anymore?"
"I still want to smash my fault!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sharp: "Preach the decree to take back King Zheng's woolen mill and no business is allowed!"
"Prince Zheng himself is guilty, but thinking of the family ties of the Tian family, he shuts himself up and thinks about his mistakes. He is not allowed to see anyone. He is given a one-month deadline to reflect on himself!"
King Zheng was relieved that the emperor did not punish him severely.
"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" King Zheng quickly kowtowed to express his gratitude.
"Prince Zheng, tell me, who ordered you?"
Zhu Qiyu thought that King Zheng was very sensible and that he was unreasonable and had a falling out with the emperor over the issue of money.
Prince Zheng's face changed slightly as he lay on the ground.
"I'm giving you a chance."
King Zheng hesitated for a long time.
"That's all, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. Go back." Zhu Qiyu took a sip of tea and went to the front hall to handle government affairs.
Prince Zheng was stunned and crawled over to him: "Your Majesty, it's not that I didn't say anything, but..."
Zhu Qiyu stopped and looked back at him: "If you continue to be so nagging, I will take back the prince's title!"
"It was decided by all the kings together!"
I just knew there was something evil going on here.
"Your Majesty, I am also of Taizu's blood and are your clansmen!"
King Zheng cried and said: "You don't allow your ministers to participate in government affairs and restrict them to the capital, but you must give them some money so that they can live a good life!"
Taizu's plan for the clan was quite reasonable.
The salary is very low and only supports five generations.
However, Emperor Taizong used money in exchange for the military power of the clan, causing the kings to indulge in eating, drinking and enjoying themselves.
I wish I could eat duck tongue every day and then throw away all the ducks. My life is extravagant to the extreme.
"Didn't I give you a good enough life?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
King Zheng dared not speak.
Are people living today’s lives?
A big family lives in a small house.
The Baiwang Mansion is under construction, so you can wait.
But a meal only has more than thirty dishes. Is that how people live?
"Look what I eat? You all eat better than me!"
"Look at what I'm wearing. This dragon robe was made in the sixth year of Jingtai. It's been three years. Have I changed it?"
"Your python robe is the latest gift from me this year."
"Which prince, I didn't give you a robe? Who didn't change into new clothes?"
"Only the house is a little worse for living."
"But the Hundred Palaces are being built under supervision. Each palace is magnificent. Are you blind? Can't you see it?"
"How have I wronged you?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were sharp: "What? When you saw me cleaning up Jiangxi, you sensed an opportunity coming?"
"Come on!"
"Send all the kings here!"
"Kneel down outside the Yangxin Hall!"
"I want to ask who is thinking about something they shouldn't have!"
King Zheng was stunned.
Isn't the emperor's power of association too strong?
Who is planning to usurp the throne?
But then I thought about it, the emperor's cleanup of Jiangxi had already affected the interests of the gentry, otherwise why would he have ordered Fan Guang and Yu Kang back to guard the capital.
But at this juncture, they challenged the emperor's bottom line.
Isn't this just throwing stones to ask for directions?
Hit yourself at the muzzle.
"I have always been very tolerant of the clan."
"But you take my kindness towards you as nothing more than a donkey's liver and lungs!"
"Okay, I want to see who has such a weird mind!"
"Who is so ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth! Who has let down my kindness!"
Zhu Qiyu wants to use the topic again.
There were so many princes, and he looked upset.
This time I will demote a few princes.
Let the clan return the prince obediently.
And in Guangdong.
Lu Gao and Ou Xin meet.
Lu Gao's injury has not healed yet, but the emperor ordered him to leave the capital to give him a chance.
Zhu Yong had already driven Lin Jie and his gang into the sea.
However, the coastal damage was severe and tens of thousands of people suffered.
I'm afraid the imperial edict of punishment from the central government is coming soon.
Navy!Navy!
Zhu Yong was greatly stimulated and became very depressed when he returned to Hailang.
He wants to practice his navy.
Ou Xin and Lu Gao have already entered Guangzhou Mansion.
Ou Xin is responsible for cleaning up the cottage.
Lu Gao is responsible for checking people.
Ou Xin was in Lianzhou, attacking Zhugang, Rennei and Xingzi, and then went into Huayin Mountain and Mangshan Mountain to raid.
Lu Gao appeared in Guangzhou.
Guangzhou was not affected by the war at all and remained prosperous.
You can see different-looking people on the street doing various businesses.
Lu Gao also came to Guangzhou for the first time, but he was surprised by the prosperity of Guangzhou. It was no less prosperous than the capital.
But the difference is that the currency here is silver.
Treasure notes and copper coins are rarely seen.
There are many foreigners.
Lu Gao went to see Liu Zhenhai first.
Liu Zhenhai is in the Yamen of the Municipal Shipping Department.
He also received a secret letter from the Central Privy Council, ordering him to cooperate with Ou Xin and Lu Gao.
Let's meet each other after greetings.
"Sir, have you noticed something unusual about the governor of Guangdong, Hou Chen?" Lu Gao got straight to the point.
Liu Zhenhai was slightly startled: "Tiqi wants to investigate Hou Chen?"
"Before he died, Lin Hao said that there is no clean person in Guangdong's officialdom!"
Lu Gao said seriously: "What your Majesty means is that the sky in Guangdong can only be your Majesty, not anyone else!"
Liu Zhenhai was startled.
What this means is that Fang Ying is coming back.
Fang Ying personally took charge of cleaning up Guangdong.
"When the emperor said this, was he angry?" Liu Zhenhai also prepared some good things to present to the palace. It's almost the Chinese New Year.
"nature."
Lu Gao still remembered His Majesty's instructions before leaving the capital.
Liu Zhenhai's eyes flickered: "This..."
"Sir, I'll let you know in advance."
Lu Gao said: "The Shipping Department will be closed soon. Your Majesty will follow the example of Jiangxi, blockade Guangdong, and conduct an inventory of Guangdong."
Liu Zhenhai looked at Ouxin's road map again.
Ou Xin will go from Mangshan to Shaozhou, go east along Hunan and Jiangxi, and finally go to Chaoshan Prefecture to close the east channel.
Then, Guangdong will be completely locked up like a cage and investigated.
"But the Shipping Company has a lot of goods..."
"Your Majesty doesn't care about that little money."
Lu Gao said calmly: "Even after the blockade, no ships are allowed to dock, and no ships are allowed to leave the port. Foreigners will also be investigated. Those who should be investigated will be investigated, and those who should be killed will be killed!"
"This is the emperor's order!"
Liu Zhenhai was shocked and could see His Majesty's determination.
No wonder the emperor transferred Leizhou to Guangxi.
Let Qiongzhou Prefecture be far away from Guangdong, so that no one can escape to Qiongzhou.
You need to take the road from Guangxi to get to Qiongzhou Prefecture.
Since then, the emperor has been planning an inventory of Guangdong.
"What about Fujian?" Liu Zhenhai asked.
But Lu Gao laughed: "Sir, we just take care of Guangdong's affairs and give His Majesty a satisfactory explanation. Naturally, we will be high officials and well-paid. Other matters have nothing to do with us."
Liu Zhenhai nodded.
He has been quite greedy over the years.
Those smuggling ships would not be able to leave the harbor without him turning a blind eye.
In fact, there is no clean place in Guangdong.
If we conduct a thorough investigation, will it lead to a rebellion in Guangdong?
That's not nonsense.
Guangdong is not the land of Longxing at all. There is Guangxi next to it. Fang Ying has more than 100 million Guangxi wolf soldiers in his hands. Guangdong can be pacified in a blink of an eye. The rebellion is lonely.
This is the confidence of the emperor.
"Then close the port now?" Liu Zhenhai did not dare to have other thoughts.
"Don't be busy for the time being. When the European ginseng general arrives in Chaoshan Prefecture, he will send a letter. After Mr. Liu receives the letter, he will close the port and no entry or exit is allowed."
In other words, Fang Ying will return to Guangdong at that time.
After a confidential discussion between the two parties.
Lu Gao then went to visit the chief envoy of Guangdong, Hou Chen.
Hou Chen was also very depressed.
After being deprived of his official position by the emperor, he was strangely allowed to serve on his behalf.
And Tiqi came to investigate.
Hou Chen was so full of shit that he didn't dare to let the investigation go.
He wanted to escape to Annan.
But King Annan refused to accept it, and Annan did not want to fight. What's more, the Ming Dynasty had millions of troops on the border, and King Annan had already sent envoys to sue for peace.
They also donated a hundred ships of food and begged the Ming Emperor not to attack Annan.
According to normal operations, the grain will definitely not be transported.
The suzerain country, the Ming Dynasty, would also reward them with a lot of gold and silver.
What Daming wants is face.
When Lu Gao entered the government envoy's office, his first words scared the marquis to death.
"I heard that the Chief Envoy has contacted Annan?" Lu Gao asked coldly.
"Deputy Commander Lu, one of my clan moved to Annan during the Yongle Dynasty. It's just normal communication."
The corner of Lu Gao's mouth raised: "That is to say, the master admitted it?"
"What did you admit?" Hou Chen's heart trembled.
Tiqi's reputation is not outstanding.
But since the establishment of the factory guard this year, it has handled several major cases and has become famous.
"Admit to having an affair with Annan!" Lu Gao sneered.
"This is a letter from home..."
Lu Gao waved his hand: "Where is the letter?"
"Already sent."
"What I said is the original. What is the content of your letter?" Lu Gao asked.
Hou Chen smiled bitterly and said that he could repeat the contents of the letter.
"There is no evidence, and based on your mouth, who can believe it?"
"Then there's nothing I can do about it!" Hou Chen could only lie.
"Then let's go with the official." Lu Gao bought a private house and used it as an interrogation room.
Hou Chen was helpless and asked him to go to the back office to say goodbye to his wife.
Lu Gao went with him.
But after he entered the house, he closed the door.
After waiting for a moment, I heard the sound of a stool falling to the ground.
Lu Gao pushed aside the blocking servant and kicked open the door. He saw Hou Chen hanging from the beam, and Lu Gao hurried to save him.
After all, it was a step too late. Hou Chen was worried about being hanged and was rescued, and even took poison.
People are dead.
"Come on!"
"Arrest everyone!"
"Hou Chen committed suicide out of fear of crime, so let's put his family on trial!"
Lu Gao messed up everything.
The news that the chief envoy Hou Chen committed suicide spread quickly in Guangzhou.
Liu Zhenhai came in a hurry and said reproachfully: "Why are you so careless in doing things?"
"How will it end this time?"
Liu Zhenhai also had no idea.
"I don't know." Lu Gao originally wanted to use Hou Chen as a breakthrough point, but Hou Chen committed suicide.
Liu Zhenhai smiled bitterly: "Send someone to ask Governor Fang to impose martial law in Guangdong in advance!"
That's all.
But Fang Ying, who was in Siming Mansion, cursed: "You can't even handle this!"
Things in Guangxi are not finished yet.
He was driving the chieftain to Annan.
Go to Cholera Annan.
Annan sent an envoy to condemn him, but Fang Ying drove him out without even seeing him.
It is estimated that Annan's envoys have already set off for Beijing to cry to the emperor.
We can only divide 2 people and give them to Wang Qi and Zhang Gang to guard Siming Mansion.
Chen Wenwen was left to guard Longzhou Mansion.
Then the generals were divided, and the wolf soldiers who had family matters stayed in Guangxi to establish the Guangxi Army, while the rest went to Guangdong by ship.
Transporting more than [-] people to Guangdong requires extremely high transportation capacity.
The wolf soldiers calmed down.
There was food and drink provided, and there was a play to watch.
Because if they just go to fight, if they immigrate, [-]% of them will rebel immediately.
Fang Ying needs to be in charge of the rear army.
Follow the last wave of fleet into Guangdong.
In the Municipal Shipping Department, a large number of fleets have already set sail.
A few days after Hou Chen's death, people in Guangdong were in turmoil, and many people were preparing to leave Guangdong.
But they were blocked by Guangdong soldiers.
No sailing allowed.
Those ships all had weapons, and they opened fire directly with the Ming army.
Liu Zhenhai led his warships to intercept them at Hutou Pass, shelled and sunk more than 100 ships, and forcibly detained them.
Arrest all those who attempt to sail the ship.
Suddenly, Guangdong was in turmoil.
Ou Xin in Mangshan also speeded up.
Constantly dividing troops along the way, he went to Chaoshan Prefecture to block the route out of the east and block the border between Guangdong and Fujian.
Duan Si'e's troops left Leizhou Prefecture and cut off the original border between Guangdong and Guangxi.
At the same time, the troops were divided into coastal defenses.
Stop pirates from landing.
People are not even allowed to build private boats and go to sea.
The whole Guangdong is in turmoil.
The first wave of fleets belonging to the Governor's Mansion have already docked. They are all Guangxi wolf soldiers and are deploying defenses along the coastline as ordered.
Zhu Yong, who was in Hailangsuo, received the order and moved to Guanghaiwei to supervise the construction of ships and guard against pirates.
Because of Lu Gao's mistakes, the whole of Guangdong had to wipe his ass.
A good plan must be launched in advance.
Errors and omissions are inevitable.
He was very sorry.
Therefore, he vented his anger on the merchants who tried to go offshore.
Who cares what country he is from?
All sentenced to death.
"Sir, I am a merchant from the Champa Kingdom. The Champa Kingdom is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty!" A merchant was dying.
Lu Gao interrogated him personally: "Since it is a vassal state, it is even more important to listen to the Ming Dynasty!"
"I want to ask you, why is there porcelain on your ship?"
"Purchased." The merchant was horrified.
"Can you buy a boat? Who sold it to you?" Lu Gao was holding back his anger.
The Ming Dynasty did not open the sea.
Merchants are not allowed to purchase within the territory of Ming Dynasty.
Of course, this rule also deceived the emperor. The prosperity of Guangzhou was brought about by these foreign businessmen.
He offered a shop that made porcelain.
Lu Gao sent someone to copy it, and then dragged him in for interrogation.
He rented out the whole street.
There were too many people arrested and they couldn't be interrogated.
Tiqi brought 200 people, and they were all extremely busy.
We are still transferring people from the capital.
The porcelain shop merchant admitted that the porcelain was smuggled out of Jingdezhen.
This is a smuggling clue.
When Lu Gao left Beijing, he knew that porcelain smuggling had been discovered in Jiangxi.
But exactly how does this line go?
Haven't found out yet.
Lu Gao asked people to record it, but he didn't have time to care about such trivial matters.
Who in Guangdong has any connection with maritime merchants?
Lu Gao took the opportunity to raid all the shops on the street and sent people to interrogate each house. The result was that he didn't know if he didn't check, and he was shocked when he checked.
Merchants in Guangzhou are inextricably linked to smuggling.
Their goods are all smuggled goods.
Silk from Sichuan, paper from Qianshan, iron pots from Foshan, cotton from Songjiang, porcelain from Jingdezhen and other goods.
Basically they are smuggled.
Then sell them to foreign investors at low prices.
This is an industrial chain.
According to their explanation, there is another line where merchants collect goods in Guangzhou, collect enough goods, and then transport them out of Ming Dynasty by pirates to the south of the sea for trading.
These were mainly sold to Persian merchants, and the price would be slightly higher.
Dashi merchants are willing to land on the mainland and buy directly, avoiding the pirates who make the difference.
But such merchants are easily robbed by pirates.
Over time, foreign businessmen are willing to go to the south for acquisitions, resulting in fewer foreign businessmen in Guangzhou.
There are fewer foreign businessmen, and local businessmen are getting involved. Goods purchased through formal channels are too expensive.
But the goods smuggled out from official factories in various places have no cost, so they are cheap.
Therefore, smuggling in official factories became common.
Relying on price to attract foreign businessmen to take risks and purchase goods locally.
There is a second line.
"The sea in the south? Where is it?" Lu Gao asked.
"It's Siam!"
Siam?
Lugao realized it, and the basket got bigger.
When the emperor finds out, he will definitely get angry and attack Siam!
He compiled all the interrogation results into a memorial and presented it to the palace.
