I'm really not doing business

Chapter 448: Testing on the edge of death
The talent selection mechanism of the Ming Dynasty, from the imperial examination to the officialdom, is a step after step. Each step is a life-and-death test. If you can't pass it, it will be a lifetime. Fan Jin, who passed the exam, became crazy. This is not a false absurdity, but a magical reality, and even more... Class crossing.

From tens of millions of scholars to 300 Jinshi every three years, one is already a dragon or a phoenix in the world, and then they will enter the officialdom and continue to roll, and finally roll to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, roll to the six books of Ming Gong, and roll to Wen Hua Dian, involved in the cabinet.

Although the personalities of each cabinet minister are different, they are well-informed and sophisticated. They are very clear about the problems of the Ming Dynasty and even have their own ideas to solve these problems. However, no one has ever wanted to actually solve these problems. It’s not that you won’t or can’t, it’s that you won’t do it.

It's not that Yang Bo didn't understand the evils of the world, but he didn't do it. Wang Chonggu proved it with practice. He really understood the Ming Dynasty, but he didn't do it before he was beaten. When Wan Shihe first entered the court, he fooled the children. , they were very clear about the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty, and even mastered the ancestral methods.

Zhang Juzheng did it, and he took a group of very brave people, including Qi Jiguang, Wang Guoguang, Tan Lun, etc., to do it.

Wang Chonggu wanted status, and he was the second assistant and the top building for elected officials; Wang Chonggu wanted power, and Zhu Yijun could make him the second assistant, with overwhelming power; Wang Chonggu wanted to leave a name in history, and Zhu Yijun used imperial power to support what he did and realize what he had done. It seems like a somewhat outrageous proposition.

But Zhu Yijun would not give Zhang Juzheng his life.

During the few days Zhang Juzheng was seeing a doctor, Zhu Yijun did not enter the Quanchu Guild Hall. Instead, he came over every day to inquire. It was not until seven days later, when Zhang Juzheng had fully recovered, that Zhu Yijun walked through the door of the Quanchu Guild Hall and walked in.

"I pay homage to your Majesty, long live your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng's mood was quite complicated, not because of embarrassment. He had lived to this age and did not shy away from medical treatment. He knew very well that although the treatment location was quite indecent, the fate was still there. More importantly, his complicated mood was mainly due to His Majesty's behavior in these short seven days.

In the story of Cheng Menlixue, Yang Shi and You Ye were going to visit Cheng Yi, the Confucian master of "Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism". Because Cheng Yi was resting, Yang Shi and You Ye had been waiting outside the door. It snowed heavily in the sky. How thick is the ruler before Cheng Yi wakes up? This story shows Yang Shi and You Zuo's sincerity in studying, their respect for knowledge, and their respect for teachers. In this story, Cheng Yi is also given a very high value. As a great scholar, he is worth waiting for.

He could continue to work hard for the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Yijun could continue his idle career.

The circumstances under which medication is used and the circumstances under which surgery is performed are completely different.

Zhang Juzheng asked himself, is he worthy of the emperor waiting in front of the door for seven days? Is he worthy of His Majesty's high regard? Zhang Juzheng just felt that he had done what he should do as the chief minister. Your Majesty shouted to Mr. Yuanfu that he had only fulfilled his duties loyally these years.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head again to express his gratitude. He was now very convinced that his New Deal would not dissipate with his death. The curse of the death of a person and the death of his government would really not come true on him. His Majesty had mastered the incomparable power. power, and know how to use it.

The emperor, first assistant, and second assistant gathered together at this time to divide the interests. Qi Jiguang had just won the ban promotion and was heading towards the Loop. The distribution of interests in the Loop would be the highlight of the subsequent party struggle between North Korea and China.

"During the time when Yuan Fu was seeing a doctor, things were quiet in our capital. Even in the teahouse, everyone was whispering to each other and did not dare to speak loudly. Today when I came to the Quanchu Guild Hall, the streets became lively again." Wang Chonggu began to chat and entered the conversation. The subject needs to be preceded by pleasantries.

Zhu Yijun walked around Zhang Juzheng, turned to Zhang Hong and said: "Okay, okay, tell me to go down and have dinner at the Quanchu Guild Hall today."

Zhu Yijun put up such a posture in the capital hall to express his attitude. If he wants to cause trouble, my sword is not bad!

The supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty overcame the difficulties of his young master, and finally became the true emperor of the empire. His Majesty, who had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the capital, made constant decisive decisions in repeated conflicts. He no longer needed him. The chief assistant helped him move forward again. At this time, Zhang Juzheng became a stumbling block for His Majesty to knead Daming into his own shape.

At that time, Qi Shuai was under Zhang Juzheng's sect. The sentence "He is a stooge" shows Qi Jiguang's passionate and pure love for the Ming Dynasty, the Central Plains and China. He would rather be a stooge than a stooge to have peace in the sea or to be barred from the north. attack.

Chen Shigong has a medicine called Ku Zhi Powder, which can be used for seven or eight days to dry up hemorrhoids. After more than ten days of conditioning, you can live a normal life. There is also a more powerful medicine, a kind of medicine strip, which is made of arsenic among the people. After being stuffed, hemorrhoids can wither. A small amount of arsenic can kill insects, but a large amount is highly poisonous.

His Majesty chose this time to treat Zhang Juzheng after careful consideration. The news of Qi Jiguang's victory reached the capital. When Ada Khan and other prisoners entered the capital, and Qi Jiguang's reputation was intuitively reflected in front of everyone in the capital, Zhang Juzheng began to do Surgery, His Majesty used Qi Jiguang's illustrious reputation to suppress the ambitions of those careerists in the court.

Wang Chonggu admired Zhang Juzheng for his holy family members who were higher than the sky. Wen Zhang and Wu Qi were the golden words of His Majesty.

Zhang Juzheng has always had a sense of twilight since he fell ill. Although he didn't say it, Zhu Yijun could feel it. Now that the twilight has faded away, he has turned into a handsome old man again, and even has a bit of vitality. It has to be said that God has given Zhang Juzheng great talent. , also gave him an appearance. When he was young, he must have been charming and suave.

Surgery in the Ming Dynasty was far from being as backward as imagined. Chen Shigong, as a master of surgery, had made extraordinary achievements. He could even perform appendicitis surgery, and even conducted research on tumors, that is, withering disease. Chen Shigong's appearance was not just a lonely tree growing in the desert. Du Miao is an outstanding figure among countless surgeons.

"Greetings to your majesty, your majesty pays your respects." Wang Chong came to congratulate Zhang Juzheng on his recovery. He didn't come empty-handed. He brought a set of calligraphy and painting, and he also brought Wang Qian.

Zhang Juzheng had just recovered and continued to manage the empire.

Zhang Juzheng opposed Qi Jiguang's enthronement twice. His Majesty could not argue and even acted rogue. Zhang Juzheng felt that he had become a stumbling block. He was a conservative at heart. Most of his routes revolved around imperial power. He was a serious royalist. .

He succeeded, and Zhang Juzheng knew that he had succeeded. Mingjun cannot be cultivated. His Majesty is wise and wise, and coupled with his careful education, Ming Dynasty finally hoped for a Mingjun.

Zhu Yijun suspected that Zhao Yu, a doctor from Xu Jie's mansion, had used strong drugs, the kind of medicine strips made of arsenic.

Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, was actually quite unprofessional. Six years after Yongle, Zhu Di was either on the Northern Expedition or preparing for it.

Your Majesty said so and did the same. While Zhang Juzheng was undergoing treatment, His Majesty the Emperor transferred the remaining 20,000 troops from the Beijing camp into the city. His Majesty's martial arts training partners were all placed in important places, especially the Quanchu Guild Hall. The protection work is truly impregnable.

Objectively speaking, Zhang Juzheng believes that he has only done some minor work that he should do.

"Xuan."

It was inconvenient for Wang Chonggu to come here while Zhang Juzheng was ill. If Zhang Juzheng really had a problem with his medical treatment, Wang Chonggu's visit would be the basis for criticism.

It shouldn’t be!

Zhu Yijun liked the layout of the Quanchu Guild Hall very much. His Xiyuan was modeled after the Quanchu Guild Hall, with Wenchang Pavilion in the front yard for offices and the back yard for living. When he was ten years old, he went to the Quanchu Guild Hall and visited it all over. That time, Tishuai Zhu Xizhong passed away and asked Qi Jiguang to return to the capital to preside. Zhu Yijun took a bloody suicide note and found Zhang Juzheng, forcing Zhang Juzheng to completely let Qi Shuai go free.

"No courtesy." Zhu Yijun met Wang Chonggu in Wenchang Pavilion. It was still very early before dinner time, and everyone was talking in the study.

Yu Qian indeed deserves to be given such a value, because what he did was the only one in the long history of the Central Plains.

This was Zhang Juzheng's first reaction after learning about it. According to historical experience, he should die at this time. Even Yang Shiqi was kicked away by Ming Yingzong after he grew up in Ming Yingzong.

"Your Majesty, Wang Cifu has arrived." A small yellow man bowed his head and reported.

Except for Wang Chonggu, no one else is qualified to come to congratulate him now. Only tomorrow can they come to congratulate him.

Struggles return to fights, but party strife should not turn into party imprisonment. Fighting without breaking up, and developing one after another in contradictions, is the current situation in the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Chonggu has no doubt that His Majesty will kill people. Even he, Wang Chonggu, is on the list, ranking very, very high.

Zhu Yijun suspected that Zhang Juzheng's death was a conspiracy in the original history.

"Sir, no courtesy." Zhu Yijun had no idea that Zhang Juzheng's heart was so turbulent. An old monster like Zhang Juzheng was no longer a cheerful young man. Instead, Zhu Yijun showed a sunny smile, like a child, just like before, But from a big boy, he turned into a man.

In the original history, the surgeon who treated Zhang Juzheng was named Zhao Yu, who was the doctor in Xu Jie's house. When the matter was connected with Xu Jie, Zhu Yijun felt that it was not a conspiracy but also a conspiracy.

In this story, it was the virtuous corporal of Emperor Jing Zhu Qiyu who also gave Yu Qian value. Yu Qian repelled the Wala people, welcomed back the Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, and maintained the stability of the empire and the survival of the country. At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, Emperor Huai of Jin and Emperor Jin Min were captured. , the Western Jin Dynasty perished, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were captured at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty perished. Only the Ming Dynasty, even when the emperor was captured, still repelled the enemy and brought back the captive emperor.

Therefore, when Zhang Juzheng knew that the supreme Ming Emperor would come to the door of the Quanchu Guild Hall every day and only leave after carefully asking about his condition, recovery, food, water, servants, etc., this happened after he recovered this morning. Zhang Juzheng only found out from You Qi's mouth.

The calm situation in the capital is the result of several years of new policies. The capital has been built by Zhang Juzheng into the hall of His Majesty's voice. His Majesty can act arbitrarily on many major decisions.

After the Tumubao Incident, he also attacked the capital first, but Yu Qian, Shi Heng, Fan Guang and others organized military resistance and were repulsed outside the capital. In the third year of Jingtai, Yu Qian's phlegm disease became more and more serious, and he suffered from vagus nerve pain in the middle of the night. Unable to sleep and coughing repeatedly, Jing Emperor Zhu Qiyu knew that Yu Qian's phlegm disease required fresh bamboo. At that time, only Wansui Mountain in the entire capital had fresh bamboo. As the emperor, Zhu Qiyu personally went to Jingshan to cut bamboo and collect the liquid.

"The distance between Guihua City and Bansheng City is only twenty miles. This time Bansheng City was destroyed. Qi Shuai reported that Bansheng and Guihua City should be combined into one city and named Guihua City. Xuanfu, Daqingshan, Jining, The Ministry of Industry has already made preparations for the construction and leveling of the Guandao Post Road in Guanshan and Guihua, and the mapping of the Guandao Post Road from Datongfu, Datong Youwei, Dongshengwei, and Guihua has also begun," Zhu Yijun said. Here comes today’s theme – dividing the spoils.

Wang Chonggu immediately said: "The current debate in the court is whether the Jingxuanchi Road should be built all the way to the naturalization, or even to the Hetao. The more radical people think that it should be built to the Hetao, while the conservative people think that the Guandao Post Road is enough. used."

Whoever wants to be the first assistant can be this bad guy, even Wang Chonggu is not worthy of him! Zhang Juzheng was not in court for seven days, and the courtiers quarreled over this matter! Wang Chonggu was so noisy that his head got big.

"The problem is still money." After Zhang Juzheng thought for a moment, he understood why there was such a debate.

Money is not enough. Ming Dynasty now earns more and spends more money. The annual military expenditure alone is 1100 million silver, plus the salary of hundreds of officials and clan members in the world, it is 680 million silver. The annual income of Ming Dynasty is only 2200 million silver. This large investment in infrastructure is also a huge burden for the court.

"What does the Minister of War say?" Zhang Juzheng asked Zeng Shengwu what he thought.

"Zeng Shangshu said that it is too expensive to build, but if you don't repair it, wouldn't it be in vain? Build the official post road first, and then build the official post road into a chi road after the Jingxuan and Jingliao Chi roads are completed. Once we defeat it, we must naturally defend it. If we have Chidao, we can defend it." Wang Chonggu explained Zeng Shengwu's words.

Zeng Shengwu, a conservative, is a bit strange. He also thinks it is too expensive and does not recommend repairing it immediately. Instead, he would wait until the other two Chi Chi Roads are completed before starting construction. "I told the Ministry of Household Affairs to borrow a sum of money from the people at an annual interest rate of 5%. The eldest Situ Wang Guoguang and the young situ Zhang Xueyan are so bold that they slap the table with me and say weird things like Yin eats the grain and where is the majesty of the imperial court." Zhu Yijun sighed, Wang Guoguang was good everywhere, but when it came to money, he was very careless. He just refused to pay interest, and the majesty of the court came second.

National funds are borrowed from the private sector and then used for development. Development brings enough tax increases and the loans are returned. This will form a cycle of development. It is not about tearing down the east wall to pay for the west wall. Spending time and money is an embezzlement without any growth point. , and this kind of national debt will increase taxes when promoting development.

Wang Guoguang is actually right. From the perspective of system design, borrowing money, investing, and developing, taxes will increase, and then repay the money. No matter how appropriate it is, it is actually not appropriate at all. Once it is put into practice and implemented, It will definitely turn into a nest of corruption cases.

Wang Guoguang knew the officials of the Ming Dynasty very well. The Ming Dynasty dared to misappropriate the food and salary of the soldiers. This money was like oil in one hand.

"What do you think, sir?" Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng what he thought.

"I thought I could borrow money to build roads, but the annual interest rate of 5% is too high. 3% is enough. If they really can't pay it back, just treat it as a pledge. If it's corrupt, it can actually be treated as a clean bill." The Ming Dynasty lacks everything except officials. When Hai Zongxian is in power, he will deal with everyone he catches." Zhang Juzheng calmly explained his thoughts.

Wang Chonggu glanced at Zhang Juzheng with lingering fear. This was Zhang Juzheng who was cruel and ruthless. Whoever gets beaten knows the pain. Wang Chonggu was beaten like this.

Yin Zhengmao's methods of tearing down doors and moving beds and Ling Yunyi's frequent house raids were all learned from Zhang Juzheng. Look at what he said. If you don't pay, it's just a pledge. Corruption is just used to eliminate corruption.

"It will definitely be repaid." Zhu Yijun was very convinced of this. Daming's financial growth was very fast, and Hetao was not a barren land like the Gobi Desert. There were still great benefits. He looked at Wang Chonggu and said: " For the time being, sheep will still be raised in the Hetao area, but the change from grazing to confinement and pasture planting will be changed. The wool business is enough. "

"Baoqisi Xu Zhenming has already gone to Guihua City. He plans to promote the cultivation of forage in Guihua City and Hetao."

Grazing on the grassland is completely up to God's will, and the Ming Dynasty wants to build fixed pastures and raise livestock in confinements, and the output will increase at an extremely terrifying rate. This is completely foreseeable, otherwise I would not be able to do it. A city will be built. After the city is built, animal husbandry will change from extensive stocking to a fixed harvest similar to farming.

"If you really need to borrow money, my words are still very useful for the Jin people." Wang Chonggu said immediately.

The income dividend of the woolen official factory has been changed to 10,000 taels per year for the Wang family alone, but this does not mean that Jindang and Shanxi merchants are unprofitable. In fact, the industrial chain from the source to supply and distribution is still the basic basis of Jindang and Shanxi merchants. Pan, continue the wool business, and give a piece of cake from this harvest to the Jin party.

Then the Ming Dynasty borrowed money from the people, even with interest, and it was time for the Shanxi Party and Shanxi merchants to show off.

"Sir, I will leave the rest to you, sir." Zhu Yijun cut a piece of wool business cake for the Jin party. This was the piece of cake, and the rest of the personnel, farming, city, guards, etc. were all taken care of. Jin Party has nothing to do with it.

The wool business is the most profitable, and this piece of cake is not small. If the Jin people are too greedy, they will not only want wealth, but also military, political, cultural and educational matters. At this time, the Northern captives have been solved, and Zhu Yijun does not mind further cleaning up the Jin party. .

"I obey the decree." Zhang Juzheng waited for Wang Chonggu's reaction and found that Wang Chonggu had no objection and chose to accept the decree.

"Duntai Yuanhou has heard that the Wala people who are currently entrenched in Helin are preparing to move westward. After the Wala Grand Master also died in internal strife, Ye Xian's two sons have already moved westward. Now the Wala people are planning to leave completely. Well, I think their choice is a bit unexpected." Zhu Yijun talked about the Wala people's choices in this battle.

Not only did the Oara people not go south to help Aanda Khan, they even bypassed the intermediate link and headed westward. This action surprised Zhu Yijun.

"This is not surprising, Your Majesty. The Ming Dynasty is not easy to mess with, but the Western Regions are easy to bully." Zhang Juzheng said with great conviction.

People from the Western Regions are easy to bully. This is historical experience and the path dependence of the grassland people. During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, there was a great power in the Western Regions, the Maiye Dynasty, also called the Dashi Kingdom. It was also the second expansion of the Arab world. At that time, the four members of the Tianfang Sect The Great Caliphate was so powerful that most of the countries in Central Asia were swept away, even reaching the Anxi Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty.

At that time, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty ordered Sulu, the leader of the Tuqishi tribe, to curb the expansion of the Maiye dynasty. From the perspective of the Tang Dynasty, the Tuqi Shi tribe was a relatively capable tribe under the Western Turkic Khanate. From the perspective of the Tang Dynasty, the Western Turks were still It's nothing to worry about, let alone the sudden cavalry Shibu.

This conflict lasted for more than ten years. At that time, Khorasan Province, the largest province in the Dashi Kingdom, was almost defeated by the Tuqishi people. The Caliphate was forced to mobilize troops from India and the Caucasus.

The war with the Tuqishi tribe directly caused the rule of the arrogant Maiye dynasty to be shaken.

At that time, the Maiye Dynasty conquered the entire India with only 6,000 people. Seven thousand people fought directly from Tunisia to southern Gaul. They stopped expansion until they were stopped by France. The Maiye Dynasty only used 25,000 people. Thousands of men defeated the mighty Eastern Roman Empire.

From the perspective of the Central Plains, the Tuqi Shi Tribe was definitely not a powerful country. Sulu, the leader of the Tuqi Shi Tribe, felt that he could beat the Caliph, so why should he listen to your orders from the Tang Dynasty? He drifted, he rebelled, and joined forces with Tubo to attack the four towns of Anxi in the Tang Dynasty. He was severely punished by the Tang army, and he lost.

Soon, Sulu was killed by his men.

Once the war machine in the Central Plains is launched, marching westward is the best way for the grassland people entrenched in the north.

The Central Plains are not easy to mess with, but the Western Regions are easy to bully.

Sanniangzi said to her entourage that the current Ming army is too much like the Ming army. Everything has come back. After the Ming army has eaten the Hetao, it will never be satisfied. It will forever clear the desert, attack Helin, and use offense instead of defense. It became a necessity. It was expected that the Wala people would choose to escape.

The Wala people are not stupid, waiting for you, Ming Dynasty, to use them to gain military merit.

"Something happened in Chaoli recently, which is very disturbing." Zhu Yijun leaned on the back of his chair, looking anxious.

Wang Chonggu felt unwilling, but he could only say: "Recently, the Songjiang Prefecture Maritime Academy is planning to expand its enrollment from the original 200 students per year to 500 students. The court's decision is not unreasonable, but some troubles have arisen. , I also thought of many ways, and finally made trouble in the Wenhua Palace. "

"What trouble happened?" Zhang Juzheng left the court for seven days, not seven years. There was trouble in the Maritime Academy, the bridgehead of the Ming Dynasty, which really surprised Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng knew Wang Chonggu's methods. Can’t Chong Gu even handle it?

"It's not Wang Cifu's territory. Wang Cifu is not easy to handle." Zhu Yijun pointed out the main difficulty. It's not that Wang Chonggu can't do it, but that Wang Chonggu is inconvenient.

The governor of Songjiang is Shen Shixing, and Shen Shixing is from Zhang Dang and is also from the imperial party. The recent progress of Youlong and Feiyun has made the emperor very satisfied. Shen Shixing has a gentler personality and he prefers to be friendly.

There was trouble in the Maritime Academy, and Wang Chonggu could not reach his hand very well. If Zhang Juzheng was gone, Wang Chonggu could still intervene arbitrarily. Zhang Juzheng was just ill, and Wang Chonggu could not do much.

"Tell me carefully." Zhang Ju looked serious.

The opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty was in full swing. The annual production capacity of five-masted ocean-going ships exceeded 70, and the production capacity of three-masted plywood ships was as low as dumplings. As the number of ships increased, the demand for boatmen increased suddenly. The Ming Dynasty only produced 70 ships a year. The ability to train two hundred naval officers was no longer able to meet the maritime trade needs of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court decided to expand the recruitment from two hundred to five hundred.

This caused great dissatisfaction among the navy masters. Such a sudden increase in the number of navy masters would inevitably affect their status and income. The general income of the Ming Dynasty navy masters was between twenty and thirty silvers a year. The dissatisfaction of the navy masters soon became clear. This aroused the resonance of all the boatmen. They refused to board the ship and used silence to resist the imperial decree.

The wages of a navigator are rising rapidly at a rate of more than 10% every year, because this is a rare talent. A navigator who can understand star charts, calculate accurate longitude and latitude, and even judge the weather and guide the fleet is rare. Talent and labor relations are also affected by supply and demand.

There are few people grabbing jobs, but there are many needs, so wages are naturally high. The Ming court's enrollment expansion order obviously affected their vital interests.

Shen Shixing planned to talk to these boat masters, but there has been no result yet.

"It is indeed very difficult. Going to sea must require a boat master, otherwise he will get lost, unable to go anywhere, unable to move, and he cannot use strong methods. Otherwise, if these boat masters desperately cooperate with the pirates, they will lead the merchant ships to thieves. However, it is imperative to expand the number of ships, otherwise the ships built in Ming Dynasty can only rot quietly at the port berth." Zhang Juzheng understood the causes and consequences of the development of the matter.

The essence of the problem is caused by the rapid development of Ming Dynasty's maritime trade.

"What are the demands of the boat masters?" Zhang Juzheng asked with a frown.

Wang Chonggu spit out his breath and said: "The decree to stop the expansion of recruitment should remain as it is. Two hundred naval officers per year are enough. Not every ship needs a naval officer. It is not easy to train a naval officer. You must be proficient in arithmetic and astronomy students." , you must also be able to see the wind and understand the rain.”

Zhang Juzheng immediately asked: "The Maritime Academy ate one million silver from the two brothers Sun Kehong and Sun Keyi of the Sun family in Songjiang. They did donate it. Is this related to Sun Kehong and Sun Keyi?"

It is not unusual for them to get separated while walking. Although the Ming Maritime Academy is government-run, it is true that it received a donation of more than one million silver from the Sun family.

Zhang Juzheng was always wary of powerful figures, and people's hearts would change.

Wang Chonggu shook his head and said: "It was Sun Kehong who proposed the expansion of enrollment, mainly for the development of the Yuanxu Islands. The Yuanxu Islands are actually very far away and require boatmen to cross the ocean. The number of ships is enough, but the number of boatmen is already lacking. This is a trend. How crazy is Sun Kehong to make such a suggestion and cause trouble secretly? "

It is indeed very exciting to test on the edge of death, but you will really die.

"I understand." Zhang Juzheng looked at His Majesty and asked in a low voice, "What do Your Majesty think?"

"We still have to ask the contradiction to be expressed and analyze the fundamental contradiction." Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said: "We need to find the fundamental contradiction. The fundamental contradiction is not the contradiction between the naval division's opposition to the expansion of enrollment and the increase in demand, but the right-wing dissatisfaction with the imperial court's maritime policies. direct interference in trade matters.”

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng said sincerely.
