I'm really not doing business

Chapter 449: The soldiers are fierce and powerful to fight against injustice, and to use virtue to appease those who are close and to protect those who are far away.

When a mistake is so big that it becomes a joke, the mistake will not be acknowledged.

Either continue to be wrong or distort the facts, there is no other way.

This is the basic logic of how society operates, and it is also the reason why small and trivial mistakes often turn into huge disasters.

The reconciliation between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Lu and the Longqing peace talks were naturally due to the fact that Anda Khan was really good at fighting, and it was also due to the Ming Dynasty itself. That is, the Jin party, which was born based on the invasion of the Northern Lu, had deep roots and was really strong in the late Jiajing and Longqing years. In attacking Anda Khan, instead of being a help to the imperial court, the Jin Party would become a hindrance.

It is true that the Jin Party respected itself by supporting the bandits. They lied about the military situation many times, causing turmoil and unrest in the capital. They tacitly tacitly knocked on the border many times to prevent the imperial government from issuing decrees that were unfavorable to the Jin Party. One mistake led to another, and gradually Let the Jin Party and the imperial court go against each other.

As the leader of the party, Wang Chonggu had only two choices: make one mistake to the end and continue to threaten the court with captives, or find a way to make this joke disappear completely.

The first option was unrealistic. Qi Jiguang went north in the second year of Longqing. By the Wanli period, Qi Jiguang led 100,000 guest soldiers and guards in Jizhou. The northern captives could no longer go south. He was no match for these 100,000 strong soldiers. After Qi Jiguang took over the capital camp, even the humble scholars shut up and avoided talking about anything involving Qi Jiguang.

When others accuse you of rebelling, you'd better really have the strength to rebel, then no one will accuse you.

Therefore, the only second option is to let the joke disappear.

Fierce competition means less profits. Fierce competition means either finding ways to reduce costs or eliminating opponents. It is obvious that improving productivity, reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and expanding profits require huge investments. While there are endless means to eliminate opponents, it also Cheaper.

Wang Chonggu finally arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion to work. This was the first time he had dealt with general affairs after five years in the cabinet. It had only been seven days, and he was completely tired of this job. Even the donkeys in the mill were so busy.

As a last resort, Wang Chonggu shared with these governors his experience in how to govern his subordinates. It was just a treat. He set out a road to see the interests of his group of people, see clearly who could be used and who could not be used, and divided the interests; beheading , kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, find the chicken and deter the monkeys, you don’t have to kill it, removal will make them more painful; accept the chickens as dogs, and those who can be used become your own team.

The third lady's identity is now that of a prisoner. If Anda Khan dies, she will be a survivor. The bones of Anda Khan are not yet cold, and the third lady is gasping for breath. This kind of thing is not impossible to happen.

"To put it more simply, they want to become a monopoly class, or to ensure that they are a monopoly class, so they are so tempted." Wang Chonggu concluded, and he answered His Majesty's question based on his own experience.

Wang Chonggu discussed this issue from two aspects. Zheshe households did not care about the Ming Dynasty, maritime trade strategies and other matters. What they considered was their own homes and the interests in their hands. Thousands of birds in the forest It's better to have a bird in hand. Whether the tenderloin or the meat is in their hands is what they care about.

Zhang Juzheng recovered this time. Even if Zhang Juzheng failed to recover, His Majesty could still ask for "Contradiction Theory", "Public and Private Theory", "Production Diagram" and "Class Theory" to analyze the problem and get to the point.

This is why Zhang Juzheng immediately asked if it was Sun Kehong and Sun Keyi as soon as he heard about it, because Sun Kehong had sufficient motives to ensure his monopoly position.

When internal conflicts become so intense that they are irreconcilable, they often resort to external means of war. This is very dangerous. If you can win, everything will be fine. If you cannot win, everything will be lost.

"Then, let's take a look at the outcome of the negotiations between Governor Shen and Zhou Shi." Zhu Yijun made a preliminary summary and looked at it step by step. If Zhou Shi's request is not excessive, the Ming court is willing to transfer part of the benefits and cut off people's financial paths. , such as killing parents, the court wants to move people's interests, why don't they allow people to resist twice?
Zhu Yijun had lunch at the Quanchu Guild Hall and said that Zhang Juzheng would be given a month's holiday, which would be a lot of days. Zhang Juzheng's body had recovered, but he still needed to be recuperated. The best recuperation was rest. For a person like Zhang Juzheng, rest It is an extremely luxurious thing. He is really too busy on weekdays.

Wang Chonggu picked up a memorial and saw that a large sailing ship from the West arrived in the port again. This time there were ten large sailing ships. There were four million silver in them. In addition to silver, there were also copper materials, fish oil and other items. The total transaction volume exceeded 9 million silver. This time, the court drew 540,000 silver points. This was a pure tax.

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said: "In fact, I can understand the thoughts of the boatmen on this matter. Through studying in the maritime school, they have mastered the art of guiding stars across the ocean. According to the production diagram, this is because they have accumulated their own experience through learning. Experience is a person's fixed asset, and the current expansion of the imperial court's recruitment has made it possible for their fixed assets to shrink. "

Anda Khan was captured, and your Majesty had the dignity to avenge the Taoist priest; the court had dignity, and got rid of the reputation of being a coward; the Jin Party had dignity, and had a step to step down; the world had dignity, it turns out that my Ming Dynasty is still the invincible Ming Dynasty. .

Also, we don’t want more people to join the game. There are already many, many people making money in maritime trade in Ming Dynasty.

It is very obvious that the navigators trained in the Maritime Academy are opposed to the imperial decree. The intensity of this conflict is not so intense that killing people is necessary.

"In the relationship between supply and demand, when supply is insufficient and demand is strong, their value will naturally rise. In order to run around for themselves, I can understand their difficulties, and I hope they can understand the difficulties of the court. The opening of the sea is in full swing, and Ming Dynasty needs more people. "The boat master."

There is a poem that says: The soul and bones buried in the Imperial Ancestral Temple have withered, and the nine temples offer military prisoners in revenge. Fighting incense and abandoning snow in Qingfeng Town, who wrote the picture after the general tasted it.

When Anda Khan had a strong army and strong horses, the Ming Dynasty could not defeat it. It was true that it could not defeat it. In order to prevent the military disaster from spreading in Shanxi, Gyeonggi, and Shandong, the Jin party could only endure the humiliation in their hearts and play tricks on the captives to prevent them from joining the invaders. Now The Ming Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, and if the Ming Dynasty wins, then all their forbearance will be worth it.

There were too many things that happened. Some chief envoys and inspectors teamed up to evade the governor. The governor complained about his grievances. It was not like Wang Chonggu had never been a governor. Wang Chonggu knew clearly how much power the governor had.

It is said to be an examination, but in fact it is management. It uses administrative means to strengthen the court's control over the emerging group of boat masters.

Now! Whoever attacks him again, Wang Chonggu, is willing to flatter the captives, deceive the court, and seize the rewards, and when it is revealed that he will fight Qian Shen Yanran again, Wang Chonggu can say with full confidence: I am bearing the humiliation and bearing the heavy burden!

"Your Majesty, everyone follows the crowd. Naturally, there are people taking the lead. Half of the people are enough to control 95% of the people. The reason why the boat masters dare to defy the imperial decree so openly is that someone has obviously prepared it for them. There is a sufficient and bright escape route, and Haoyou will be dissatisfied with the interference of the imperial court. In fact, it is very easy to handle. In the future, the boat master will be tested every three years. If he passes the test, he will be given a letter. If he fails, there will be no need to pass the test. Foreign." Zhang Juzheng gave his own method, exams, he is good at this.

"Your Majesty has seen clearly that the main contradiction is that the powerful rightists are dissatisfied with the imperial court's direct interference in maritime trade matters." Wang Chonggu repeated his Majesty's words and said sincerely.

The real situation will be more complex, and methods need to be used alternately frequently.

The third wife is still charming, but she is getting older after all, and she is still the king's wife. According to the past style of the Ming Emperor, the emperor will naturally not do anything, but what if His Majesty just wants this?

In fact, these few small books do not have much power, but these few small books, coupled with the supreme imperial power, the tyrannical Beijing camp, and the navy, play an immeasurable role.

"Money confuses people's hearts." Wang Chonggu wrote the floating notes. He sincerely hoped that Zhang Juzheng would return to the court as soon as possible, leaving all these bad things to Zhang Juzheng to deal with.

Anda Khan was arrested, and her stay or stay has become an issue that the court now avoids talking about, mainly because they don't know what the emperor means.

This was originally a good thing, but soon, the officials of the Nanya Metropolitan Procuratorate began to write a series of reports. The issue they talked about was the purchase of five-masted transoceanic ships. The West can buy them, and the Mughals can buy them. , the emperor of tomorrow would rather be a friendly country than a domestic slave, is this justified?
Coupled with the fact that the navy masters jointly opposed the expansion of maritime school enrollment, it is obvious that this is a complete set of punches.

Wang Chonggu is the top official in the government-elected government, and he is also a monopoly class above the famous families. Looking at this problem from his standpoint, he actually feels that the expansion of enrollment will benefit the wealthy households.

The intensity of the conflict varies. If it becomes irreconcilable and there is no means of relief, then one party can only be completely destroyed. At that time, it is necessary to take up a knife to kill.

Wang Chonggu could actually understand the thoughts of these Nanya merchants. He thought for a moment before speaking: "In a cow, the price of each part of the beef is different. There is a difference between the tenderloin and the beef. The boat master is not a simple The huge force that can be gathered together to influence the court's decision-making, whether it's labor, connections, or relationships. Only by controlling the boat master can we firmly control the beef tenderloin. "

Sanniangzi, who lived in Huitongguanyi, began to communicate with the Minister of Rites, Honglu Temple, after Anda Khan returned to Beijing, hoping to have an audience with His Majesty, and then resigned.

There is no way to solve dilemmas in this world, and someone's interests will inevitably be harmed.

"Similarly, the current scale of sea trade is already very large. The five major shipping companies of Mizhou, Songjiang, Ningbo, Yuegang, and Guangzhou in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the overseas shipping companies of Nagasaki, Ryukyu, Luzon, and Jiugang, now have 340 ships a year. The tax is million silver. With such a large scale, there are already many ships on the coast. There are more wolves and less meat. The Zheshe households who are already on the shore actually don’t want others to continue ashore. "

The expansion of maritime school enrollment will promote the development of maritime trade, and the cake will become bigger, which is extremely beneficial to every Zheshe household who seeks to make profits in maritime affairs. However, they chose to explore crazily on the boundary between life and death.

This is a game of voice.

"That's the problem. Why do they encourage these boat masters to rebel against the imperial decree?" Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu.

During the Jingkang Incident, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong were captured. The concubines and princesses were all humiliated several times. Ming Yingzong was captured. The maidservants who served Yingzong were all turned into playthings. So the prisoners were allowed to set fires, but the Ming Emperor was not allowed to light lamps?
After the Song-Mongolian coalition attacked the Jin Kingdom, General Meng Gong of the Southern Song Dynasty, in order to avenge the humiliation of the Jingkang Disgrace, led more than a dozen of his men to take turns humiliating Queen Tudan of the Jin Kingdom. There were a total of nineteen people. Some raised their feet, and some Biting his lips, someone threw his arms and painted "Meng Gong After Tasting".

The fact is that the Jin Party is trying to support the invaders to respect themselves, but with Anda Khan being captured in the capital, the Jin Party has a way out. Even if it distorts the facts, it is logically consistent and even looks particularly reasonable.

Wang Chonggu said helplessly: "Meat eaters are despicable. Obviously the expansion of enrollment will benefit these luxury households, but they have been short-sighted and only saw the immediate interests. They opposed the interference of the imperial court. From Yongle to Wanli, the official ships of the Ming Dynasty were not When I went to the sea, I didn’t see these Zheshe households making the sea trade business flourish.”

Wang Chonggu naturally knew that this incident was false. When Jin Aizong fled in Bianjing City, the queen mother, empress, concubines, and princesses all hanged themselves.

But what is His Majesty's holy will is what Wang Chonggu must consider.

This matter mainly depends on His Majesty's wishes.

Wang Chonggu thought about it and posted a blank ticket. Whatever His Majesty wanted to do, he should do it quickly while Zhang Juzheng was resting for a month. At first, Hai Rui, Wan Shihe and Zhang Juzheng objected to the Third Lady's audience with His Majesty. Zhang Juzheng could stop him, but Wang Chonggu did not dare. , simply went with Your Majesty.

Wang Chonggu didn't know that Zhang Juzheng never stopped the emperor from being ridiculous in this matter. Zhang Juzheng even wanted his majesty to be more ridiculous. His majesty is a nineteen-year-old young man, but his heart is like a tree and he is not moved by external things. This is The turmoil in the country has made His Majesty mature, but for His Majesty personally, it is not a kind of sadness.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng has always hoped that His Majesty can act more nonsense and be more absurd. Now that he is rebellious, he can still clean up for Your Majesty, which is better than having no one to clean up the mess in the future when he is gone.

Soon, the cabinet received an approval from the imperial study room of Tonghe Palace, allowing Mrs. Zhongshun to visit the prison, and ordered Mrs. Zhongshun to visit the Wenhua Hall tomorrow.

Wenhua Hall, not the Imperial Study Room of Tonghe Palace. Under normal circumstances, if His Majesty wants to do something, Mrs. Zhongshun will not go to Tianjian Prison to visit, let alone meet in Wenhua Palace, but will be taken directly to Tonghe Palace. .

Obviously, His Majesty was not prepared to do anything.

Sanniangzi was actually very worried. The enemy's princess ended up in a particularly miserable state after the country was destroyed and her family was destroyed. After the Battle of Yuerhai, Emperor Tianyuan of Beiyuan escaped alone and was quickly killed by Yesu Die'er who seized power. Beiyuan The imperial court perished, but more than a hundred people including Dibaonu, concubines, and princesses, the second son of Emperor Tianyuan, were not so lucky, and were all captured by Lan Yu.

There are rumors in the grassland that Lan Yu has an affair with all these concubines. Many of these concubines have become camp prostitutes, and some have committed suicide in shame and anger.

Sanniangzi didn't know what her fate would be like. She hid a dagger under her pillow. Once the emperor really planned to throw her into the capital as a prostitute, she would commit suicide immediately. Anyway, the political idea of ​​complete reconciliation had been realized. Daming would not be too harsh on the border residents, and would even live a better life. In fact, she didn't have much to worry about.

Sanniangzi doesn’t know that there are no prostitutes in Jingying at all...

Sanniangzi received the reply, and the emperor allowed her to visit the prison, and also allowed her to pay an audience in the Wenhua Palace before returning home. After receiving the emperor's approval, Sanniangzi breathed a sigh of relief, but also a little disappointed.

In fact, she still couldn't forget about climbing the dragon's bed. If she had another child, it would be of great help to the complete reconciliation between Daming and the grassland.

Unfortunately, His Majesty didn't seem to have this intention. She looked at herself in the mirror. She was actually in power on the grassland and was pampered. She didn't have the sallowness caused by the wind and sun. Looking closer, there were some tiny wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, which were barely visible. Being beautiful and beautiful requires material foundation, and the third lady is not lacking.

Liuhua is intentional and water is ruthless.

Zhu Yijun called Sanniang Lady Zhongshun from beginning to end and treated her as a courtier. Sanniangzi arrived at Beizhen Fusi. After Beizhen Fusi checked the approval document and Sanniangzi's letter plate, he led Sanniangzi into the sky prison to visit An Dahan.

An Dahan was too old to move. He leaned against the wall, looking at the light cast by the skylight, reaching out to touch the light, his eyes filled with turbidity.

"Coming?" An Dahan was still confused. He knew who was coming and said with a smile: "The Emperor has some conscience. Since you can come, it proves that the Emperor will not make things difficult for you. You are considered a person." ”

The third lady was a little speechless for a moment. She looked at An Dahan through the bars of the cell, shook her head and said, "You are very generous. Your wife has been toyed with, and you can still sit still."

"You?" An Dahan sneered and said, "You can't climb up. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty lacks everything, especially beauties. The emperor's character is extremely cautious, so he can let you walk within three feet? Are you dreaming? ?”

"Alas." The third lady failed to hurt Anda Khan. She was resentful of Anda Khan because she was robbed.

Anda Khan knew the emperor very well. Sitting in that position, he had to be so cautious, otherwise all his great achievements would only be reflected in the mirror.

"This emperor is unreasonable. His father agreed to the peace negotiation, and he tore it up as he said. After the peace negotiation, I slacked off. I didn't lose unfairly. And Qi Jiguang was too powerful." Anda Khan was still a bit stubborn. He felt that the crime of non-war was falling into the Ming Dynasty's conspiracy.

Da Ming openly negotiated for peace, but constantly reconciled internal conflicts and overcame all difficulties. Zhenwu just wanted to avenge the past.

Everyone saw Li Rusong's bravery, but Anda Khan knew that he lost to Qi Jiguang and Qi Jiguang's step-by-step approach.

Even if Dong Hu asked Changshengtian for help, he really beat Li Rusong away, and Anda Khan couldn't win the decisive battle. Qi Jiguang didn't even give Anda Khan a chance to fight.

Since the beginning of the war, Qi Jiguang has never given An Dahan the slightest chance.

"What if you were young and vigorous?" Sanniangzi asked curiously.

"Even if you are young and strong, you can't beat Qi Shuai. Qi Shuai is over fifty years old. Isn't it embarrassing to lose to Qi Jiguang? No, he is just such a person. The Central Plains is rich in resources. If I were young, When I met him, I ran away!" An Dahan shook his head. He thought about this problem while being escorted to Beijing.

Can my younger self survive? The answer is no, he will just run away.

Losing to Qi Jiguang is not a shame, just like Jin Guo losing to Yue Fei, isn't that what it should be? ! Even the people of Jin feel that this should be the case.

"The Changshengtian was extremely angry at me for worshiping Buddha. I was looking forward to the arrival of the rainy season, but this year the rainy season on the grassland was ten days later than in previous years. Our grassland is at its weakest after the severe winter, and the Ming Dynasty's firearms have been used to their fullest. The weather It's not me." Ada Khan accepted his failure calmly.

Changshengtian will not let him win.

If the rainy season comes, Andahan still has the energy to give it a try. Daming firearms are restricted by heavy rain, so it is difficult to win, but we can still give it a try. Unfortunately, the rainy season has not yet come when the city is broken.

Anda Khan felt that his defeat was not a non-war crime. The Ming Dynasty won without force and bullied him as an old man.

Victory without force is also victory. To conquer each other, we must do everything possible to win. Anda Khan was able to invade the capital and only found the opportunity when the Ming Dynasty's military preparations were slack. Ma Fang withstood him and made him Worried.

"Actually, I'm surprised that you survived to the Ming Dynasty. I thought you would hang yourself when the city was destroyed." The third lady asked with some confusion. She knew Anda Khan very well, and Anda Khan was a very proud person. He felt that no one could judge his crimes, not even the Ming Emperor.

This is the pride that comes from long-term battles and repeated victories.

"Actually, I thought about committing suicide." Ada Khan sat up straight and said with some emotion: "But I surrendered in the end. It's not that I cherish my life. I am about to die of illness. We Yuan Yi and Lao Zhu's family fought two hundred After all these years, there must be a result. That idiot Tuman Khan still calls me a traitor. I think he, the Great Khan, is the number one traitor in the grassland!"

"From now on, the grassland will rely on you."

The third lady was silent for a long time, nodded and said, "Well, I'm leaving."

Anda Khan leaned against the wall again, stretched his hand into the light, and felt the warmth of the light. He was already dying, and occasionally recalled the glorious years of his youth, when he fought in the north and south, and fought all over the grassland. The tribes all bowed their heads.

The next day, Sanniangzi met with the emperor at the Wenhua Palace, and then received the emperor's imperial edict of canonization. Sanniangzi became the first chief envoy of the Chief Secretary of Suiyuan in the Ming Dynasty.

Suiyuan Chief Secretary, Yuncha Division, and Du Division are the administrative divisions of the Hetao, Guihua, and Jining areas in the Ming Dynasty. They are counties and counties. In the Ming Dynasty, there were two capitals and thirteen provinces. From then on, it became two capitals, fourteen provinces, and four The Great Overseas Governor's Palace.

The word Suiyuan is taken from "Salt and Iron Theory: Bei Hu", which says: Use force to fight injustice, and seek to maintain peace of mind and suiyuan with virtue.

The Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty has been seeking to upgrade Ryukyu from an overseas governor's palace to a solid county. However, the reason for the delay is that there is still insufficient exploration and development of Jilong Island, the large island in the southeast.

Governor Songjiang is the governor with the highest official rank and the smallest jurisdiction among the Ming Dynasty governors. Shen Shixing only oversees Songjiang Prefecture. There is no jurisdiction smaller than this. But no one will question the gold content of these four governors of Songjiang.

Shen Shixing had two major things to do recently. The first was the arrival of a large Thai-Chinese sailing ship at the port. This was a large-scale trade. The second was the matter of the navy master. He chose to handle it personally and ordered the navy master to select seven people. Arrive at the Songjiang government office to discuss the matter.

"Students pay homage to Futai." A group of seven people did not kneel down when meeting officials, but bowed. Not kneeling when meeting officials is the treatment given to boat masters by the Ming Dynasty. It is equivalent to the treatment between scholars and scholars. When meeting officials, they do not need to wear white clothes. Greetings.

"Take your seat without courtesy." Shen Shixing's tone was very calm. He looked at the seven people with sharp eyes.

"You are deeply favored by the Emperor. If I admit it correctly, you are Shi Peng. Your real name is Shi Liu. You are from Kunshan. You were originally a refugee and worked as a coolie for the poor people on the ship. You are a hard worker in picking goods. You are illiterate and have a quick mind. You are number one in the Maritime Academy. He entered school in the first semester, studied for three years, and became proficient in arithmetic. Then he worked as an astronomy student at the Qintian Prison in the capital for one year, and was employed by Songjiang Ocean Trading Company. At the beginning of this year, he switched to the Kunshan Business Gang." Shen Shixing looked at the leader Shi Peng.

Shi Peng was originally a refugee. After he went to sea, he worked as a coolie on a ship in Songjiang Prefecture. Because he was smart, he spent three years studying and becoming literate when enrolling students in the Maritime School. He worked extremely hard. At the beginning of the Maritime School, there were no scholars at all. , after several years of working in the sea, in fact, going to the sea is still a desperate choice and leaving home.

Therefore, most of the boat masters, like Shi Peng, did not even know a few Chinese characters at first.

Shi Peng was only fourteen years old when he entered school. Today, seven years later, he has become a leader in the naval division and took the lead in opposing the imperial court's expansion of enrollment.

Shen Shixing said that they were deeply favored by the emperor, which was not without purpose. Only in the past two years has the Maritime Academy been able to recruit students who are scholars.

"Is Futai trying to coerce his favor?" Shi Peng raised his head and said, "What we have achieved today is all due to our own efforts!"

"There are only two hundred people in the Maritime Academy a year. We were selected because we fought hard to get in! It's hard work in the academy, and we have to memorize those star charts even at night. If we fail the exam, we will Failure to complete the course is the result of today’s efforts and the cause of yesterday’s efforts. The imperial court needs boat masters, and we have become boat masters through our own efforts.”

"What kind of favor are you talking about?"

Shen Shixing looked at Shi Peng, and then at the other boat masters, with a somewhat mocking smile and said: "Three years in Maritime Academy and one year in Qintian Prison. Let me ask you, have you spent a penny of your own money?" ?"

"I..." Shi Peng's face immediately turned red!

"Wang Cifu said at the beginning that the Maritime School was a charity school? Confucius taught without distinction and accepted disciples, but he still needed to be disciplined. Why did the Maritime School not take any money? The students had no money, and they could borrow money if they had no money! Your Majesty forbade it, and severely criticized Wang Cifu, Seeking profit alone is unacceptable." Shen Shixing talked about an old story.

The Maritime Academy does not charge tuition fees. When it was first established, it was to quickly recruit and incubate boatmen, especially to train boatmen for the Ming Dynasty Navy. In order to train them quickly, they chose not to charge fees and even provided three meals a day. and the cost of medicinal stones.

The big hole in the Maritime Academy was plugged by the Songjiang Sun family, who donated more than one million silver intermittently over the years.

Wang Chonggu proposed a way, that is, if he has no money, he can borrow it, and then he can repay the money when he has a skill and becomes a boat master.

After this proposal was put forward, it was severely criticized by the emperor. Shanxi merchants were very fond of loan sharking, especially on the grasslands. Wang Chonggu was embarrassed. As a result, his majesty now raised a lot of white-eyed wolves.

After seven years, His Majesty was hit hard by his own boomerang.

"Why aren't you talking?" Shen Shixing picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and then continued: "Now, you are being pushed to the forefront of the storm again, but you don't know it, and you are still complacent. I am so important, and you are so important. What do you do to me? I know that the big bosses behind you promise you that if something happens, they will do their best to save you and ensure that you are safe and prosperous. "

"Shi Peng, do you still remember how you became a refugee? Your parents borrowed money from a good person's house. Because they could not repay it, the remaining four acres of land were annexed. Your father died of illness. Your mother threw herself into the river, your two brothers were sold to a workshop by a kind man and disappeared, one of your sisters was sold to a brothel and died six years ago, and your family's tile-roofed house was eaten up by people in the same village. "

"Now that the big boss has made a promise to you, you just believe it. Their promise is bullshit. Don't you know it yourself?"

"You really don't have a long memory. Reading gave you a skill, but it didn't teach you about the evil nature of people's hearts. Maritime school still has to teach you about contradictions and class theory."

Shi Peng and the boat master who came with him were ashamed and angry. Shen Shixing's words made them freeze in place as if they were struck by lightning. Over the years, their status has become higher and higher, their income has increased, and they are surrounded by voices of praise, and they have gradually lost their way. , and also forgot the pain of the past.

Shen Shixing's words awakened the memories rooted in their bones, or burst the bubbles of fantasy around them.

"I..." Shi Peng didn't know what to say.

"What am I? I asked you to come here today just to tell you that what the imperial court gave you can also be taken back. Within three days, you will immediately rework and get on the ship. If there is any mistake, your boat master's letter plate will be taken back. Don't think that the imperial court You can't go to sea without you. If you haven't returned to work in three days, I will mobilize the navy's Gundo boat division to maintain the operation of the Yuanhang Trading Company." Shen Shixing's expression became fierce.

"I gave you the opportunity. According to Wang Cifu's words, you should immediately confiscate your boat master's letter plaque and stop your courtesy!"

The method given by Wang Chonggu was to mobilize naval officers to maintain the operation of merchant ships, and at the same time immediately deprive them of their credentials, deprive them of courtesy, and make them white-clothed.

If Shen Shi's behavior is difficult, just put the contents of Wang Chonggu's floating notes on the streets around the city gate, and he will do this evil person.

Wang Chonggu no longer cares much about his reputation. Anyway, he has long been known as a traitor.

Shen Shixing had a much gentler personality, and he gave him three days and was willing to talk. He was actually protecting these boat masters. If he really followed Wang Chonggu's method, these boat masters immediately fell back to their original class, and a huge gap was inevitable. Life is worse than death.

When merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty went to sea, they had to check the boat master's letter plate. One boat master was enough for each ship.

Zhu Yijun agreed with Wang Chonggu's statement, but Shen Shixing was in charge of the specific matter, and he also respected local opinions. In short, this matter could not continue to cause trouble and affect the flow of business in the Ming Dynasty.
