Win the Ding 1617

After listening to the political affairs for a long time, although Zhu Yujian had the illusion that the decision of the world is in my hands, he felt that despite Li Shouhan's notoriety as a powerful official, the saying that the generals are in control of government affairs, and all major events in the world are from the shogunate, etc. He was about to grind out his ears.However, if you think about it carefully, if Liang Guogong really cut off China and foreign countries like Cao Cao and other powerful officials in history, and replaced all his servants with him, any news that is not good for him will not come in. How can there be such a scolding? The words filled my ears?

However, waves of tiredness came quietly amid the voices of Li Shouhan, Huang Daozhou and others, and he began to yawn.Seeing this, the two eunuchs standing on both sides exchanged glances subtly and nodded slightly.

Zhu Yujian was tricked by the imperial decree of Chongzhen at the beginning, and planned to take his own guards from Nanyang to the king, but was deposed as a common man by an imperial decree of Chongzhen, and was imprisoned within the high wall of Fengyang.Although he had a lot of money with him, he would not be discriminated against and abused by the eunuchs in Fengyang.However, that kind of day is also extremely difficult.Fortunately, he was not the only one who was banned at the same time.

Although the King De's family from Jinan was also imprisoned, but because they had such a family relationship with Li Shouhan in Jinan, the eunuchs in Fengyang looked at them differently.Nanzhong merchants who traveled all over the Jianghuai River came to Fengyang, and they often brought the rare and exquisite goods they brought.Therefore, their life is not much worse than when they were in Jinan Palace.In the same way, to pass the time, King De's family and Zhu Yujian followed the example of Emperor Wanli and became proud of Yanxia.

Fortunately, the Jiangnan base camp of Nanzhong merchants is also very close to Fengyang, so there is no need to worry about running out of black food.

"Your Majesty, it's been some time for you to listen to the government. Why don't you please go to the court room to rest for a while, have some tea and snacks, take a short rest, and then come back to share the work for Your Majesty." Seeing a trusted young eunuch nodding to him at the side door, he opened his mouth to suggest to Zhu Yujian.Although it is said that the various etiquette systems of the imperial court are handled according to the system in Nanjing and Beijing, but, after all, today is different from the past, and the authority of him, the chief eunuch, can only take care of the emperor's clothing, food, housing and transportation, and decide which concubine will be able to do so at night. Just sleeping.

"Alright! Let the general and the chief assistant lead the ministers and workers to the court room to rest for a while. It's just for some snacks and tea." Zhu Yujian also understood the meaning of the eunuch next to him. When he said this, he had already smelled the A faint scent wafted from the Warm Pavilion.

"Thank you, sir."

People came out of the hall one by one, and walked towards the chapels on both sides.There, the servants and followers of the ministers are serving with clothes, hats, snacks, tea and other things, and it is inevitable to have another exchange of entertainment.

"Marshal Jue, when Shaoqing came to court, I wanted to ask the emperor to approve something that would benefit the country and the people. I would like to ask the emperor for permission.

"Master Shoufu has nothing to say, as long as it is beneficial to the people of our Ming Dynasty, Li has no reason to ignore it."

"That's good. On behalf of the scholars and common people in the world, I will thank the Marshal first." Huang Daozhou bowed to Li Shouhan very formally.After all, he is a person who has been a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and all his actions conform to the requirements of the etiquette system.

With a summons, the crowd instantly switched from a relaxed atmosphere of drinking tea and chatting to a serious and solemn court team.

In the queue, Li Shouhan ordered people to carry two huge trays covered with red silk, which were undulating, and he didn't know what was hidden inside.

"Hmph! What kind of new, strange and obscene thing is it? It is used to confuse Sheng Cong and deceive the emperor!" In the civil service team, several people cursed in their hearts, but then they quietly began to speculate about what was inside. , if it is sold on the market, what is the price, what is it used for, and whether I can buy it and afford it.

Zhu Yujian, the emperor of Longwu, who was sitting on the throne, looked much better and more energetic than before.

The civil and military classes re-arranged and stood up, "My dear friends, take a break, what was said just now, you might as well continue."

Just now Li Shouhan was the one who took the lead in speaking. Even if the right to speak was to be changed, he should be the one to make a gesture.

"Your Majesty, I ordered the craftsman to make two utensils for Your Majesty. Please watch them. If you can still enter His Majesty's eyes, please accept them as a reward."

Li Shouhan ordered someone to bring up the two wooden trays, and uncovered the red silk on them, but there were two pieces, one large and one small.The big plate is a clock, inlaid with gold and inlaid with jade, needless to say, it is even more peculiar, the whole shape is a scene of a river and a mountain, with rivers rushing down the mountain, lush forests on the mountain, birds and beasts in the mountains, and plains. There is smoke curling from the kitchen.A round of red sun appeared on the top of the mountain, which is exactly the scene when the sun rises in the east in the morning.

"Your Majesty, please take a look." Li Shouhan ordered someone to fetch water and pour it into the river, and as the river flowed, the birds and beasts on the mountain began to move. "The design of the craftsmen is that every time the hour comes, the tigers in the mountains roar to announce the time. At half an hour, the birds chirp."

"Then, what is this round of red sun?" Zhu Yujian was attracted by Li Shouhan's explanation, he stepped off the throne, and carefully admired it in front of this huge clock.

"Your Majesty, this thing is called the sun and the moon illuminating the universe. It is daytime now, so naturally the red sun is at the head, and at night, the bright moon is in the sky. Moreover, it is synchronized with the movement of the sky, the earth, the sun and the moon, when the sun rises, the red sun That is when it comes out, the willow willows will be on the top of the moon at the beginning of the month, and that will be where the moon will be."

The sun and the moon have always been symbols of the Ming Dynasty.Hearing what Li Shouhan said, even among the civil servants, some people kept nodding their heads in approval. "Although Liang Guogong is domineering and authoritarian, his heart of fist and fist is well-deserved. This artifact can really inspire us to expel the Tartars as soon as possible, sweep away all the smell, and restore China."

Clocks and watches, with the arrival of Western missionaries such as Matteo Ricci, were not considered rare items in the upper class of the Ming Dynasty, but a daily household item.Moreover, at this time, it is still a relatively extravagant and expensive item, and there is absolutely no saying that giving a clock is equal to "giving the end".Moreover, Li Shouhan's "Sun and Moon Illuminating the Universe" is ingeniously conceived and meticulously manufactured. It can be seen that a lot of thought, manpower and material resources have been spent to make it.Among other things, the synchronization of the sun and the moon with the movement of the celestial bodies alone is breathtaking. (Li Shouhan: Actually, I didn’t do anything, but the gentlemen and professors in the university spent a lot of calculation paper, stayed up all night, and calculated a lot of things! I can guarantee that I didn’t let them Six! Moreover, the results of their calculations and research can all be used as scientific and technological achievements to enjoy dividends. Maybe they themselves don’t know which of their research results will affect the industrial system, agricultural production, military, It can be applied in the trade, fiscal and taxation systems, allowing them to get unexpected fees!)

"Okay! I understand Aiqing's intentions. I accept this piece of sun and moon shining on the universe! It will be placed on the top of this hall. I will look at it with all the ministers and workers, and see when we can take back Liudu. , recover the capital, recover our Daming country!"

"Your Majesty is wise! How dare you not do your best!" Civil and military officials fell to their knees in fear.For a time, a harmonious scene of Mingjun Xianchen.

With the sun and the moon shining in front of the universe, the objects in the small plate are not so attractive.In the final analysis, there are only three things, one is a pocket watch, from the most common entry-level version with a brass case and tied with a silk ribbon, to an enamel exterior with a picture inside the pocket watch, tied with a copper chain There is a mid-level version with a gold shell, inlaid gemstones and jade, and a high-end version tied with a gold chain.

"This is also a pocket watch produced by the minister's workshop. The copper case pocket watch is 1000 yuan, the enamel inner painting pocket watch is 200 yuan, and the gold case pocket watch is 50 yuan. Please enter the inner palace for your majesty's reward."

This is an important reason why Li Shouhan is regarded as a loyal minister by Zhu Yujian.Although a bit domineering and authoritarian, he never oversteps in terms of etiquette and courtesy, and the supply of various goods is very generous.The eunuch Wang standing beside Zhu Yujian couldn't help swallowing a big mouthful of saliva.He knew that this kind of pocket watch, the cheapest copper case pocket watch, can be bought in Fuzhou City, no, in the Nanzhong store in Tianxingfu City, it costs 100 silver dollars to buy.This still has to pay a deposit of 20 yuan before the goods can be available.This 1000 yuan pocket watch, my dear!It is a hard one hundred thousand silver dollars!What's more, there are pocket watches with enamel and porcelain inner paintings and pocket watches with gold shells, which are even more invaluable.He couldn't help but start thinking in his head, how to sneak out a few dollars as treasures in his private pocket.

If he knew that the cost of this copper pocket watch was only eight silver dollars, would he be so angry that he would harden all the missing parts?

However, if he saw a few other things in the small tray, he would be more impulsive.

There is a saying that goes, "Sake is popular, and money touches people's hearts." When the things in the small tray were presented to Emperor Longwu by the eunuch on duty, he couldn't help but make his brows twitch and his face beamed with joy.

Here are several samples of Longwu Silver Dollars and Longwu Tongbao.The text is clear, the design is beautiful, and the texture is the best silver and copper.The yellow ones are Tongbao, and the ones with white flowers shining in the sun are silver dollars.

"All ministers, pass it on."

Zhu Yujian held a silver dollar in his hand, and looked at Tongbao carefully, "Unexpectedly, I also have a Tongbao with my own year name now!" His heart was bursting with ecstasy.The more I look at it, the more I feel that Liang Guogong and General Li Shouhan are indispensable ministers of the Ming Dynasty!Just after discussing the issue of Longwu Tongbao and silver coins, samples of silver coins and Tongbao were immediately presented. Where can I find such a courtier who is so loyal to the king? !It's a pity that the two former emperors, Chongzhen and Hongguang, had little fortune and virtue, and couldn't afford such assistance from their courtiers. It seems that the real fortune of the Great Ming is in my body! !

He couldn't stop praising Li Shouhan in his heart. Of course, the emperor's mind, and the ultimate purpose of praising his courtiers is still to fall on himself to be obedient to others, to be ordered by heaven, and to be worthy of heaven and earth.However, the ranks of ministers do not necessarily see it that way.

"Hmph! So flattering! What a sycophant! What a traitor!"

"Hundred years from now, with a long history and a long history, let's see how you will bear the eternal infamy!"

Seeing the coin samples that Li Shouhan took out without hesitation, many people in the civilian queue exchanged glances, and they all understood their respective meanings from each other's gazes.

"General, the student has something unclear, and I hope to enlighten you."

Xia Yunyi straightened her robes and stood up squarely.

Xia Yunyi, as the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Hongguang court, returned to his hometown in Huating County, Songjiang after the fall of Nanjing City, and immediately went south to Fujian, where he used to be a county magistrate, to avoid the military chaos.After Tang Wang Zhu Yujian was supported by Li Shouhan, he served as the doctor of the Department of Wenxuan of the Ministry of Officials. This position was placed in the previous dynasty, and it was also a role with high authority.

"Yizhong, please speak up if you have something to say."

"Now the emperor has just ascended the throne, and there are frequent wars. It is necessary to rest and recuperate with the people. Is it appropriate for the adults to issue new money so eagerly? Is it disturbing the people? Is it harming the people? Is it possible to compete with the people for profit?"

This is another three tricks of housekeeping skills!Disturb the people, harm the people, and compete with the people for profit.It's just that they used to take out one by one in the past, but today they really couldn't wait to fire three moves in a row. It seems that the gentlemen of Donglin have also reached the point where they are at the end of their wits.

(Crack! Dozens of bricks flew in, and the unkind author was dizzy. Sun thief! You said that our Donglin gentlemen are donkeys from Guizhou?! Laozi are all Jiangnan talents! You are the donkey! You It is the donkey of Guizhou!)

Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian on the throne also tried his best to control his emotions, pinching the hem of the dragon robe tightly with both hands, his fingers had turned white from the exertion.Just now, a young eunuch who was on duty outside quietly reported to Eunuch Wang that General Xingyuan had sent a passbook of 500 silver dollars and [-] million Wen Tongbao, which he said would be handed over to the inner government for preservation.This situation immediately made Zhu Yujian very happy. "It's still my Liang Guogong! This is the real minister who protects the sky! Everything has been thought of for me!" However, this group of rotten scholars jumped out to accuse the people of disturbing and harming the people. This is clearly with me. Money bags can't get through!I can't live with my righteous name!

"Disturb the people? Harm the people? Compete with the people? Where does this come from?"

Li Shouhan didn't speak, but Zheng Zhilong, the admiral of the navy standing behind him, asked with disdain.

In the eyes of civil and military officials of the Eastern Forest, when Zheng Zhilong speaks, Li Shouhan speaks.This is determined by his status.Who made him the admiral of the Southern Cantonese Army and the son and daughter of Li Shouhan?Everyone in the world knows that the soldiers and horses of the Southern Guangdong Army are capable of both land and water.However, in the transfer of soldiers, horses, money, food and materials, the navy is the first. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the position of Zheng Zhilong, the admiral of the navy, is the position of one man under one man and above tens of thousands in the Southern Guangdong Army.Otherwise, Li Huamei wouldn't be serving in the Navy as a princess, let alone marry Shi Lang who was born in the Navy.

In particular, Zheng Zhilong rescued Queen Mother Zou from the dangerous city just before the fall of Hangzhou, and continued the legal status of the current Longwu regime. This credit cannot be underestimated or underestimated.

"General Zheng, the student's hometown is Songjiang Prefecture. I have also seen the coins of the Chongzhen and Hongguang dynasties made by Jue Shuai in circulation on the market. To be honest, from the students' point of view, this move is quite suspected of hurting the people and harming the business. , is inconsistent with the way of the sage and the way of benevolence.”

This is a bit untrue.Xia Yunyi was about to open his mouth to fill in some gaps in this person's words, but unexpectedly, a loud voice sounded behind Zheng Zhilong.

"Oh! I am not talented. I have also managed the money, food and taxes of tens of thousands of people. How can the coins made by the Marshal according to the orders be harmful to the people? I want to ask you a question or two. Where is the harm to the people? It is the material used to make the coins. Fake, or the manufacturing is not fine enough. How about all kinds of privately cast rotten boards, sand shells and other private money?"

Since the other party sent pawns, the Southern Guangdong Army couldn't afford to use generals to deal with it.An official who was born in the Qin Law School opened his mouth to catch Xia Yunyi's Songjiang fellow official, and a scolding battle between the two sides began with the sound of a gong.

Because after the Battle of Liudu, a large number of officials defected to the enemy and hid, so Li Shouhan decided to transfer outstanding performers to fill the vacancies among the cadres who went south from the Qin Law School to study in Nanzhong.Although this move was strongly opposed by a group represented by Huang Daozhou, it was still implemented.As a result, this group of rough men from the northwest swaggered into the court hall under their hostile eyes, and caused some indecent words such as donkey balls to appear in the court hall from time to time.

As the saying goes, you have to turn to whomever you eat. Since you took Li Shouhan's money, you should at least scream twice. After all, he has never learned the economics of natural selection, and he doesn't know that there is still such a thing as taking money to scold the master in the world.Therefore, as soon as Zheng Zhilong finished speaking, someone took over: "Your Majesty, I think that what Mr. Zheng said is true. The so-called gnats don't know the age, and rotten scholars don't know the military state. The sages and merchants once said that the country should benefit a lot." Confucius, the people can share wealth, but not suffering. In fact, Mr. Shang and his elders think too well of these people. I think they are not even willing to share wealth. You can think about it, the most difficult thing is to start a business. The Duke has worked hard for more than [-] years in Nanzhong, but has he ever shared a share of suffering with you? The Duke shares with you only Fuguier after success. Since the Duke Qin, he has delivered grain, rice, cloth, gunpowder to our Ming Dynasty Armaments, and even Princess Huamei personally commanded the army to fight Tashan, and almost died. As a result, not only did you not want to repay your kindness, but whenever the country needed your help, you would either delay it or criticize it. The most obvious thing is that the first emperor The new policy, if the new policy is implemented as soon as possible, I am afraid that the peasants in the north who support King Chuang would have eaten pots and milk to welcome the king's teacher; if they had trusted the Duke early, the Liao bandits and rebels would have been captured without a fight.

While the people in the Qin Law School were giving a speech, a student of Huang Daozhou couldn't help it. He shouted: "Shut up!" Go to the thief skin, I can't see through you and others. You and others did wrong under Li Chuang's banner in the early years, and later insulted sages and sages in Liudu. It can be said that they did bad things. Later when they came to Jiangnan, they did whatever they wanted. Let me ask you, you Can you admit that since you came to Jiangnan, have you arrested dozens of famous royal families at one time only in Hangzhou? Later, you arrested more than a hundred families and tens of thousands of people under the pretext of breaking the law by officials and gentry. Just killed more than 1000 people. Wherever you go, blood is flowing all over the ground, do you dare to deny this?"

What he didn't expect was that the people from the Qin Law School just sneered, and then said nonchalantly, "Tell me what is your relationship with these people? Those people in Hangzhou are involved in a smooth case, which is intolerable by the national law. If you When they talk, I really want to know if you are in Guamanli. As for the more than a hundred families later, I would like to ask why there are so many shameless people in the world. The Duke of the State promulgated a law back then. According to the laws of the state, workers limit their working hours and raise wages, and they can obtain tax exemption rights from the state. As a result, the state's taxes are exempted, but none of these labor hours and wages are in place, and they are adulterated when manufacturing goods. False, to entrap the soldiers in front! Finally, the workers reported, how can the Duke not punish these people? Could it be said that the Duke should use money to support them while bearing the infamy for them? Although the Duke is benevolent, but Absolutely don't do such despicable things!"
