I'm really not doing business

Chapter 200 Being Daming's Watchdog, Can You Eat Bones?

Zhang Juzheng told the little emperor about the political structure of Ming Dynasty, which has been exactly the same since ancient times. Zhang Juzheng said that this is the necessity of the county system.

Zhu Yijun summarized the basic characteristics of the Ming Dynasty’s politics as follows: the assignment of tasks at different levels, the financial intervention of the budget contract, and the result-oriented assessment and supervision. These three dimensions are the most typical and basic political characteristics of the Ming Dynasty.

This is completely opposite to the concept of great unification and centralization, but it is also unified.

Under the design of the imperial system of the Ming Dynasty, it would not be able to function normally without the emperor, because the emperor has decision-making power, veto power, interference power and supervision power, but the same place has extremely terrifying discretionary power, or power of affairs.

The emperor was in charge of Yuanfu, Yuanfu was in charge of Cifu, the cabinet was in charge of the courtiers, and the courtiers were in charge of the six Jingtang yamen.

This is the most typical case in the Ming Dynasty. The lower level of management can only be managed to the lower level. This is the basis for issuing contract tasks layer by layer.

What Jingtang has is the right to appoint and remove personnel, and now it is gradually establishing a result-oriented assessment and supervision.

If you complete the task assigned by the imperial court, you will be promoted. If you fail to complete the task assigned by the imperial court, you will be given a low evaluation by the examination method.

The test method is a supplement to the results-oriented assessment and supervision system. Before this, it was called the Beijing Inspection and Grand Plan, and the six books and one account were financial interventions covered by the budget.

Take the section of the Great Wall in Datong, Xuanfu as an example. The imperial court gave a total of 120 million taels of silver. If you don’t have more, you can find your own way.

If you follow this basic political feature to pay tribute, you will find very interesting things.

Wang Chonggu said to stop the war and make peace, and the court agreed with Wang Chonggu. Wang Chonggu reported a figure of more than 100 million taels. The court felt that the transaction was not a loss, so it budgeted for financial intervention and gave Wang Chonggu money.

Looking at it this way, Wang Chonggu ate the money of the imperial court and the horses of the northern captives, which is very consistent with the basic administrative characteristics.

After all, Altan Khan did not disturb the border anymore, and Wang Chonggu completed the task of securing the border entrusted to him by the court.

The account can indeed be calculated in this way, because at that time Daming really couldn't beat Aldakhan, the general soldiers kept dying in battle, and fighting out of the fortress was death. Aldakhan had an absolute advantage in attacking, so for the court, 100 million taels was not unacceptable to stabilize the frontier.

The account can't be calculated in this way, because the times are changing. Since Li Chengliang pulled out the Gule village, Daming is gradually recovering the ability to fight outside the fortress. If he wants to take money from the court, the court will not agree.

When did Wang Chonggu stop using the money?
Ever since he was kicked out of the Wenhua Palace by Zhang Juzheng and returned to Xuanda to fill the hole, he has been doing his best. As time goes by, the court is recovering the ability to celebrate rewards and punishments.

Zhang Siwei, Wu Dui, Fang Fengshi, and even Wang Chonggu's cousin Wang Chongya refused to give up the money they got, and there was no reason to spit it out after eating it.

But in the struggle with the emperor, the clan party suffered a crushing defeat, which has a lot to do with the fact that the clan party completely handed over the decision-making power to a fool.

Emperor Wanli began to study in the cabinet for the prince in the fourth year of Longqing. The courtiers gave very low evaluation, especially Gao Gong. It was also based on this basic logic that the absolute decision-making power could not be handed over to idiots. Zhang Juzheng believed that Emperor Wanli could be trained to be less stupid.

The best time to clean up the Jin party should be when Qi Jiguang drove Tuman Khan out of the Liaodong area east of the Great Xianbei Mountain, and let Tuman Khan and Alta Khan directly conflict, so that it would not be a meal of raw food.

However, Zhang Siwei led the decision-making and launched a fire to burn the palace. If the emperor could not be burned, he would also burn the matter of the third lady entering the pilgrimage.

The clan party is not fully prepared yet. It has not bought most of the bureaucrats, generals, and generals to create a common perception that the court is harsh on the clan party.

Wang Chonggu, his own uncle, abandoned the clan party.

Because Wang Chonggu knew very well that it was very stupid to compete with the Beijing camp under the support of the emperor and led by Qi Jiguang to increase its combat effectiveness.

As far as the clan party is a community of interests with the privileged economy as its core cohesion, is the Northwest clan party willing to give even a little bit of benefit to the soldiers who are struggling with food and pay?

As expected by Wang Chonggu, Zhang Siwei did nothing. Burning the emperor to death was already difficult, and the success rate was much lower than drowning. What Zhu Yijun went too far was to let the third lady meet on the foundation.

Zhang Siwei was unlucky with the Jin Party.

Wang Chonggu looked at Chen Xuexue and San Niangzi's suspicious eyes, and could only drink tea to ease the atmosphere. He took this money in the fifth and sixth years of Longqing, and the first year of Wanli. He stopped taking this money later in the second, third, and fourth years of Wanli.

"Later, I didn't even take the money, it was all taken away by Zhang Siwei and the others!" Wang Chonggu was scrutinized by his eyes, after all, he became a little angry from embarrassment, and argued for himself.

"Third lady, since you entered the court to negotiate the price of horses and silver, then discuss it carefully. His Majesty has already pardoned my crime. It is useless even if you sue His Majesty. Don't try to use this as a condition for negotiation!" Wang Chonggu declared that he had already been pardoned.

Some things are most afraid of reconciliation.

Wang Chonggu is a businessman in essence, he likes a steady flow of water, rather than a one-off transaction, and now he has reconciled the accounts, revealing his secrets.

Bargaining began. Wang Chonggu, as a follower, paid special attention to the bargaining part. He really did not give in. In the end, a result acceptable to both parties was formed. At the price of six silver and five silver coins for top-grade horses and four silver silver coins and seven silver coins for medium-sized horses, [-] horses were provided every year, and at least [-] high-quality horses were required.

The inferior horse court does not want it.

The imperial court of the Ming Dynasty spent 27 taels of silver at the horse price. For Daming, it saved more than 70 taels of silver at the age of one year, and for San Niangzi, she gained more silver when she entered Beijing this time.

The more than 20 taels of silver mentioned by San Niangzi included the income from the border trade, and the horse price of silver has increased for Altan Khan's income.

The price that Daming buys wool is quite generous. Every year, I Da Khan can exchange horses and wool from Daming for goods worth more than 50 taels of silver.

"I'm curious, why doesn't San Niangzi bring back some gold, silver, jewelry, jade, silk, etc. every time she trades at the border?" Wang Chonggu was a little suspicious when he knew San Niangzi's list of goods at the end of the negotiation.

On San Niangzi's list, there was no gold, silver, jewelry, or jade, not even silk, but pots of salt and cloth tea. It had been many years. The things San Niangzi brought back from Daming were not used for luxury enjoyment, even the national cellars and grand master's chairs that Huangzhuang strongly promoted.

The third lady also brought back a few bottles of Guojiao, which were rewarded by the emperor.

The third lady didn't answer immediately, she took the abacus and calculated the gains and losses of this trip to Beijing.

"I like it, but if you bring it back, the grassland people won't be able to survive this winter. You don't harvest it at night, and you burn it every year. The burned grassland can't survive the winter at all! The white hair wind outside the Great Wall is so severe, how can the people inside the pass imagine?" San Niangzi closed her account book, Daming is very profitable, and the grassland is not too bad.

The northern captives like to go south to plunder, and the Ming likes to go out to burn wasteland. Once they burn, it will last for an autumn. This kind of mutual harm is very fatal.

Alda Khan won the battle, but the burning of wasteland never stopped, and the grassland suffered heavy losses. In the fifth year of Longqing, the conflict ended with Alta paying tribute, and the war entered an intermission.

The northern captives no longer go south, and the Ming Dynasty no longer burns wasteland, so they are all stable.

The third lady leaned on the back of the chair and said helplessly: "When the white hair wind blows, the sky and the earth hang upside down, and it is all white. The anger of humans and animals in Changshengtian is the same under the white hair wind. Every year, some tribes disappear on the grasslands. Monan is a little better. In the Wala and forests north of the desert, in winter, everyone huddles together for the winter."

"The outermost ones are old people, the innermost ones are women, the innermost ones are children, and the innermost ones are adults."

The third lady was talking about wintering in the prairie. Her tone was not intense, but she was very calm. She seemed to be stating a commonplace thing.

On the grassland, many tribes disappear every year and become nutrients for the grassland.

The third lady is the envoy of the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, and Daming actually doesn't know much about the outside world. The reason why she said these painful things and tore open the wound is to win sympathy and to show her firm stand for peace.

San Niangzi's rhetoric can win Daming's sympathy, and this sympathy will have substantial benefits. Daming, or the unified dynasties of the Central Plains, has always been a disadvantage, a high moral disadvantage.

From the king to the people of the Ming Dynasty, in the current world, morality far exceeds that of any barbarian.

High morality is a disadvantage as well as an advantage.

"Don't you know how to build a city? After building a city, the city's wind and cold resistance is far stronger than that of felt." Chen Xuexue asked a little strangely.

The grasslands are not without suitable places to build cities. In the Northern Yuan Dynasty, cities were built on both sides of the Daxianbei Mountains and near the Yinshan Mountains. In the seventh year of the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Woluo, the Marquis of the Han Dynasty, wrote a letter to Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, to build Yingchang towns. Later, it was common to build cities on the grasslands.

For example, during the Hongwu and Yongle years of Daningwei, there was a saying that there were ninety cities outside the Daning Great Wall.

But with the passage of time, the northern captives came back more and more alive.

"After the city was built, the Ming army came." San Niangzi shook her head and said, "Tuman Khan likes Daningwei very much, and stays in Daningwei all year round. Didn't Qi Jiguang catch him and rush to Quanningwei?"

What San Niangzi said was a common fact. In the confrontation between the grassland and Daming, the grassland is not qualified to build a city, because once the city is built, Daming knows the gathering place of the grassland outside the Great Wall, and will definitely pull it out, just like Gule Village.

If Daming could find out where Al Da Khan's golden-roofed tent stayed, the Northwest wouldn't have been fighting for so many years, and they wouldn't be able to win the fight.

"Changshengtian gave us the ability to survive on horseback, allowing us to control our strings and draw our bows, but Changshengtian did not give us life, leaving us with a lack of pot, cloth, salt and tea. That's why I am here." San Niangzi's fans are hardcore peacemakers, and the number is definitely not a minority.

"In fact, we also have a more extreme voice. Some people in the tribe are more envious of the guards in Xuanfu and Datong. The generals do use the soldiers as livestock, but Xuanfu and Datong don't need to take 200 horses and [-] sacks of wool every year in exchange for a military salary of more than [-] million from the court."

The concept of the Great Ming Kingdom itself was given by the Ming Dynasty, so the subjects of the Great Ming Dynasty naturally had doubts about their identity. Is the Great Ming Kingdom the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, or is it the enemy of the Ming Dynasty?

The second half of San Niangzi's extreme voice is: Why not directly attach Daming, and turn the Jin Kingdom of Daming into the frontier of Daming, wouldn't it be possible to get food and salaries from the court without having to work hard to herd sheep and horses?This is also profitable for Daming, and the northwest does not need Xuanda's annual 250 million taels of silver and 38 shi of grain to maintain it.

And Altan Khan refused to advance this process for the glory of the Golden Family!

Wang Chonggu knew about this topic and couldn't talk about it anymore, so he just walked away.

San Niangzi asked this question very well.

The Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty had to use horse wool to exchange 50 taels of silver, while Xuanda and Xuanda in the northwest could still get more than 200 million taels of silver after losing all day. The total military expenditure of the Ming Dynasty was 640 million.

Just because Xuanda is a border town of Ming Dynasty, then my Jin Kingdom of Ming Dynasty becomes a border town of Daming, wouldn't the watchdog also be able to eat bones?

San Niangzi received an invitation. This invitation was not from the Jin Party, the Chu Party, or the Zhejiang Party, but Sun Jigao, one of the nine elders of Donglin.

The third lady saw this invitation, and finally did not go to the appointment. This Sun Jigao was the number one scholar in the second year of Wanli, but was called by the little emperor to debate the scriptures, and was mercilessly defeated by the little emperor.

As the champion, Sun Jigao couldn't argue with the child, so he was taken to Taixi. Even Felipe II heard Gao Qiyu talk about this interesting incident. Gao Qiyu used this incident to make a footnote for his own emperor.

Gao Qiyu traveled extensively in Germany, France, the Netherlands, and England, and he probably wanted to bring this story to these places as well.

The third lady went to Beijing to negotiate a peace, and her every move was in the sight of the court. At this time, her random actions would affect the peace negotiation plan, and the third lady also knew the style of the scholars of the Ming Dynasty. They were not pragmatic, and they were very pragmatic. Talking with them would not lead to a result, so it is better not to go.

The only people who were pragmatic in the Ming Dynasty were the first assistant Zhang Juzheng, and Wang Chonggu and his like were more like ministers who collected money and money, and they were also considered to be pragmatic.

Only these pragmatic people are really difficult to communicate with. Their way of thinking is too weird. For example, Wu Dui, Fang Fengshi, Zhang Siwei, Wang Chongya and others are all such people. The third lady has dealt with such people before. A very simple matter can be extremely complicated by these people.

Talking with lowly Confucianism will lead to no results.

The most typical characteristic of a humble Confucianist is that he talks for the sake of talking, but never talks about any practical matters. It seems that only one camp is enough for empty talk, and any conflict of interest is to be fooled.

However, money, food, iron pots, salt, cloth, and tea are all benefits.

Afterwards, she went to the official woolen factory by the Yongding River. She took a tour and saw a large number of people gathered near the official factory. She was a little envious. She knew that the business of the imperial court would definitely continue, and that was enough.

When Zhu Yijun met the third lady, he was not on the foundation. If he still met on the foundation, Ma Ziqiang, the new Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, would have committed suicide and apologized. The place to meet was in the side hall of Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Yijun held a long steel tube in his hand, on which was a rear sight and front sight.

Eyes, rear sights, and front sights can be combined to form a three-point line for aiming.

Three points and one line are also the result of degree bypass, three points can only determine a straight line.

Coupled with the blunderbuss holder and blunderbuss machine, this is a bird blunderbuss.

This is a firecracker tube newly made by Daming. Zhu Yijun is very satisfied with this kind of tube. It is not a seamless steel tube. It is just a semi-finished product that uses the internal cooling technology of cannon-making to cast tubes. Afterwards, a steel cone as big as a chopstick is used as the cold bone to start carburizing forging.

Qi Jiguang made it very clear that the appearance of the rifling was mainly designed for the convenience of cleaning the inner wall of the firecracker. Later, it was discovered that this thing has a magical effect.

"Greetings, Your Majesty, Your Majesty's congratulations." The third lady saluted and frowned as she looked at the various objects placed in the side halls of the Wenhua Hall, especially the pile of books in the seven windows.

Many objects here have traces of being used. Obviously, this is not for people to see, but the little emperor is really using it.

"No courtesy." Zhu Yijun signaled Zhang Hong to hand a firecracker tube to the third lady and said, "Qi Shuai just made a good thing. In the past, Daming could only forge [-] firecrackers a year, but now Daming can make [-] firecrackers a year."

The third lady got the gun barrel and knew exactly what it was!
She also has a firecracker, which is a very exquisite firecracker that she took from Wu Dui's private house.

"Your Majesty, a benevolent king will surely be able to rule the world, but if you want to be king, you must be benevolent! Today, you can see that your majesty is surrounded by mediocre and good soldiers. Mencius said: If you don't aspire to benevolence, you will be sad and humiliated all your life, and you will fall into death!"

"Heaven has the virtue of good life! Carry out a benevolent government to love and nourish the people, and then the people's hearts can be received, and the king's career can be paid!" The third lady looked at the firecracker in her hand, and advised the little emperor to practice benevolent government, not to go astray.
"No... It's fine if the speaker tells me that. Mrs. Zhongshun is from outside, so don't talk about it." Zhu Yijun was directly amused.

San Niangzi said that the emperor was surrounded by amassing and warlike people. This is not practicing benevolent government, and should hold high the banner of benevolent government, recuperate, gather people's hearts, and maintain the rule.

The third lady also knew that the taste was wrong, but she really had no choice but to take out the retreat set, but the emperor didn't eat it at all.

She thought for a while and frowned and said: "Your Majesty, Daming has the advantage of firearms, but he doesn't know that these firearms cannot be used in rainy days."

Zhu Yijun waved his hands again and again and said: "I practice martial arts, and I can't use bows and arrows even in rainy days. You captives from the north invaded in summer and autumn, and we attacked in winter and spring in Ming Dynasty. Both of us will choose the time that is good for us."

The third lady found out that the little emperor is not easy to fool.

"Mrs. Zhongshun, I let you look at this gun barrel, just to tell you, and I also want you to tell the people outside the border, Da Ming Zhenwu's heart, this is not Mr. and Qi Shuai. I am supporting them. I myself practice martial arts. This is also a kind of support. Don't make mistakes." Zhu Yijun's tone was calm, but there were threats inside and outside the words.

For Al Da Khan, the dispute over the Great Ningwei can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, but in the next war, Al Da Khan should be sitting on pins and needles.

Daming's goal is to completely drive Tuman Khan away from Liaodong in the next few years. Whether the left wing merges with the right wing or takes the opportunity to go south to threaten the court, that is not what Zhu Yijun wants to see.

Zhu Yijun hoped that the conflict between Daming and Altan Khan would intensify and be ignited when the court resumed.

However, he has already eaten a bowl of raw rice, if I Dahan insists on letting the little emperor eat a second bowl of raw rice, then Zhu Yijun doesn't mind.

The Beijing camp expanded its army by 12, and the defense was that they couldn't eat raw food.

"Order the wife to obey the order." The third lady said with a solemn expression, no longer trying to use her tongue.

"Mrs. Zhongshun has been running around many times, and the quarrels have gradually stopped. The Holy Mother is kind, saying that Mrs. Zhongshun is not easy. Today, I will give you a pair of Ruyi, a cloak, and I will give you a gun, so that you can do it yourself." Zhu Yijun signaled Feng Baoen to reward him.

"Your Majesty, if King Shunyi is willing to enclose Daming, may the people outside the border be stable?" The third lady suddenly asked after thanking her for her kindness.

"I heard from Qi Shuai that Mrs. Zhongshun read the contradictory theory?" Zhu Yijun didn't answer this question directly, but asked a rhetorical question.

"I have read it." The third lady nodded and said.

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "I haven't played enough yet. Let's fight a few more times until one side completely admits defeat before we can reach a draw."

"Your Majesty is wise." The third lady sighed, the imperial court is expanding its army and fighting, and wars will still happen.

Zhu Yijun also rewarded the third lady with a Nuremberg egg watch, which can accurately time the time, which is an additional gift.

Yin Zhengmao, the uncle of Sishui, the surname of the Ming Dynasty, appeared at the port of Manila with the five-masted ocean-going ship deployed to the Luzon Governor's Mansion.

When the big ship arrived at the port, it attracted everyone's attention and spread the word. Everyone in Manila gathered at the port. When they saw the big ship berthed and Yin Zhengmao was standing at the bow, everyone burst into cheers.

Yin Zhengmao left Manila, and everyone knew that Yin Zhengmao was going to lead the boat. Whether he could get it or not, everyone was beating their hearts.

Got it.

Zhang Yuanxun was moved by Ling Yunyi, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, to be a rescuer, so it was Deng Zilong who took over the ship.

After reading the imperial edict, Deng Zilong was puzzled for a long time before he said: "Sure enough, it's the same as our guess. The Yin Butang is indeed the Zhu family of the royal family living outside. These are the surnames of the country!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Yin Zhengmao held his forehead, this stalk is completely unstoppable.

"Has Hongmaofan's big ship arrived at the port?" Yin Zhengmao is more concerned about this question. This year's big sailing ship is later than in previous years.

"It's here, but it's not there yet. Antonio has already arrived. Let's talk about it when we meet." Deng Zilong glanced at Luo Lian and said with a sigh.

Antonio looked lonely and smelled of alcohol. After Deng Zilong's retelling, Yin Zhengmao knew what happened.

Antonio has five galleons, three of which came last year, two of which almost got lost, but this time three of them came, and two of them completely disappeared in the boundless sea.

One ship was cut in half by a huge wave that suddenly protruded from the water, and some sailors were rescued, while the other ship was lost. A ship lacking a sailor, lost at sea, is tantamount to declaring death.

Strange waves, in Thai and Western culture, are water jets ejected by sea monsters. They are strange waves that appear suddenly and for no reason under calm conditions. They come and go quickly.

Antonio's mood was not very high all the time, and when he saw Daming's five-masted 21-sail oceangoing ship, Antonio finally regained his sobriety.

"This ship stayed in the dock of Songjiang Mansion last year. Has it entered the hands of Governor Yin this year?" Antonio watched the five-masted foreign ship pass in horror. He remembered that he had donated a lot of crops last year. The Emperor Ming was very happy and finally agreed to invest and support Antonio.

As for this ship, Emperor Ming promised to sell it to Antonio.

Standing on the trestle bridge, Yin Zhengmao looked at the five-masted ocean-going ship, and said with a smile on his face: "Yes, if you want to buy it, you have to go to the capital to obtain His Majesty's edict. Daming Dockyard is building twelve five-masted ocean-going ships."

"Really? It really solved the urgent matter that burned my eyebrows. How do you say that word? Oh, urgent." Antonio was very lucky to go to Beijing to donate treasures last year, and it was a lucky thing to be able to buy a boat from Daming.

Ocean-going ships must have multiple ships to share the risks. The most important silver is placed on his flagship. He has money but no ships. This is the most troublesome thing for him.

When he saw the five-masted oceangoing ship, Antonio became extremely happy.

An ocean-going ship more advanced than a galleon.

　Yesterday, I posted a screenshot in the group, talking about the merchants of the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty, who called themselves the watchdog of the Ming Dynasty.Ask for a monthly ticket, woohoo! ! ! ! ! !
