I am the king of the dead

Chapter 401

If you want to say that Ma Yun is commanded this time, then of course you have to talk about Zhu Qizhen.

In the eighth year of Zhengtong, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen finally came back to his senses, he seemed to be fooled by San Yang!
Because his inner money is getting poorer and poorer.

Without the sea trade, his internal money can't even take care of his own expenses, let alone subsidize the hole of the court.

In fact, starting from the Yongle period, the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty became larger and larger. As the times developed, the ranks of officials would inevitably become bloated.

The military expenditure of the army has also begun to increase day by day, including the expenditure of various guards, Confucian schools, and Huimin Pharmacy.

However, the Ming Dynasty's taxes did not increase significantly, and the court had begun to make ends meet, so Emperor Wen often subsidized the court with money and food from internal funds.

During the Xuande period, Xia Yuanji, an important minister of Yongle, strongly opposed the maritime trade, but Zhu Zhanji still went south to the West with all his strength. Although the scale was a little smaller, he still made a lot of money.

But in the Zhengtong period, because of the suspension of maritime trade, the court had to borrow money from internal funds all day long. Zhu Qizhen didn't realize until the eighth year of Zhengtong that maritime trade was really important.

In the eighth year of Zhengtong, Zhu Qizhen asked Nanya Longjiang Shipyard to build the Western Fleet again, but in the end it took half a year to build it, let alone the ship, and no boards were seen.

Because the person in charge of supervising the Western Fleet is Captain Zhao Hui.

Nanya did not cooperate with Zhu Qizhen's edict, but someone did.

Guo Yan, the magistrate of Fuzhou Prefecture in Fujian, asked for an order to open the sea, Zhu Qizhen agreed, and began to build and repair the shipyard on the current Yuegang Xuanweisi.

This shipyard dates back to the Yongle period. During the 15 years of Yongle's great voyage, Fujian Shipyard built a total of more than 320 ships.

Guo Yan was appointed as the chief transfer officer of the Eight Governments, and Jiao Hong, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was in charge of supervising the orthodox voyages to the West.

It took a total of two years, mobilized more than 120 boatmen, and finally built [-] sea-going ships.

This is naturally not comparable to the Western fleet at its peak, but it is also a super fleet of twelve Fuchuan.

Ma Yun, the commander of Fandu, was appointed as the commander of Fandu in the West.

After ten years of orthodoxy, Zhu Qizhen gave an order to go south to the west to make money!

As a result, before the edict reached Fujian, there was a civil uprising in Fujian.

It was a civil uprising with only a single stroke in history, which was recorded in the epitaph and some fragments of Fuzhou Prefecture Tongzhi Guo Yan.

In that civil uprising, about a dozen blessing boats were burned, and nearly a hundred buildings, warships, battleships, warships, patrol boats, etc. were destroyed.

This was not the last time Ming tried to sail southward.

In April of the first year of Tianshun, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, who had just been restored, immediately prepared to go south to the West again, because the memorabilia of Zhang Feng, the Minister of the Ministry of Households during the Jingtai period, had already shown that the finances of the Ming Dynasty had reached a precarious situation.

However, the wave of opposition from the court and China was overwhelming, and Ming Yingzong was unable to implement the executive order at all.

In the end it was over.

Daming tried to go south to the Western Ocean again, and it was time for Liu Daxia to burn Zheng He's nautical charts.

This kind of game actually continued until the end of the Ming Dynasty, when Emperor Chongzhen took back the admiral and eunuch of the Yuegang Xuanwei Division, and then stopped.

Because after that, Daming was already in decline.

In the fourth year of Jingtai, where was Guo Yan, the magistrate of Fuzhou Prefecture in Fujian Province and the chief transfer officer of the Eighth Prefectures?
He was the magistrate in Sizhou Prefecture, Guizhou.

Guo Yan was thrown from Fujian to Guizhou, from supervising the construction of the Great Ming Armada, to governing the chieftains in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

This is the consequence of supporting the emperor's voyage south in Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu mentioned the list, namely Tao Jin, Chen Yu and Ma Yun.

The emperor has already given a candidate, so Shi Heng has no worries.

He thought carefully for a long time and said: "Tao Jin is in Mizhou Shipyard, Chen Yu is in Ningbo Shipyard, Ma Yun is in Fujian Shipyard, and Yunji is in Songjiang Shipyard. Whoever does well will be a naval officer." Commander-in-Chief."

"Three years."

Shi Heng's opinion is easy to understand, just one word: "Juan".

Shi Heng's idea is based on the method of examination, and he won the true biography of the Ming emperor. He was an official in the Jingtai Dynasty, and he didn't know how to do it.

Zhu Qiyu nodded, smiled and said, "Very good."

Xing'an listened to His Majesty and Shi Heng's discussion with a smile on his face. The methods His Majesty is good at, fishing method, cricket fighting method, and examination method are not difficult to learn.

A small yellow door came in a hurry, and said with a panicked expression: "Your Majesty, Jin Shangshu was in the yamen of the household department just now, and he suffered from stomach pain again. After walking two steps, he fell on the road in the courtyard of the household department, and passed out from the pain! "

Zhu Qiyu's complexion changed suddenly, he stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "Didn't I let him cultivate at home? Why did he go to the household department to work again!"

Xiao Huangmen said in horror: "Jin Shangshu felt that he was in good health, and it would not be a problem to lie down all the time, so he went to the household department to sit for half a day, and something happened just after sitting."

This little Huangmen came a little late, and it was the first time seeing His Majesty so furious.

Zhu Qiyu flicked his sleeves, went downstairs, and said as he walked: "I know that he is ill, so I let him cultivate at home. That's good. Jin Lian is stubborn. Why don't these young people from the household department stop me?"

"Are you asking for a doctor?"

Xiao Huangmen said in a low voice: "Please, we have arrived at Dashi Yongfang Mansion."

Jin Lian was not only a civil servant, but he fought the rebellion with Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao in Fujian, and he also resisted and killed the enemy.

Zhu Qiyu breathed out and said, "Go and have a look."

When he travels on weekdays, he doesn't put on any airs of riding a jade horse, he just gets on his horse, and a group of more than ten people rushes to Dashi Yongfang.

He hurried to Dashi Yongfang's official residence and asked others to wait outside, only taking Lu Zhong and Xing'an inside.

Hou Chen Mao of Ningyang, Minister of Rites Hu Wei, Hou Yuqian of Wen'an and others have all arrived, but Lu Zicai and Ran Siniang are also there.

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty bows to you." When everyone saw Zhu Qiyu coming, they hurriedly bowed their heads and saluted.

When Changping Marquis Yang Hong left, Zhu Qiyu had been standing in front of the window. He knew that Yang Hong was in decline, and that there was no cure.

Jin Lian has a stomach problem, and it is a chronic stomach problem, and there is no good way to treat it.

"How's it going?" Zhu Qiyu asked Lu Zicai. Jin Lian was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and his breathing was fairly steady.

Lu Zicai said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I have already taken painkillers, but this old stomach problem is haunting me. If I continue to be haunted, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's..., alas."

As soon as these words came out, the entire room became extremely silent.

Jin Lian managed to open his eyes, and said weakly, "Your Majesty, this old minister is sick. Your Majesty is worried about it."

"I'm powerless, I can't get out of bed to salute."

Lu Zicai was startled, he should have passed out after taking the analgesic, but Jin Lian was awake.

Zhu Qiyu walked forward and sat down in front of the bed, not knowing whether to blame or not to blame.

He said slightly distressed: "Didn't I tell you to cultivate your body at home?"

The power of the emperor in the world is almost infinite, but he cannot keep people's lives.

There is no doubt that Jin Lian is a courtier who has contributed to Ming Dynasty.

A bleak smile appeared on the corner of Jin Lian's mouth and said: "Your Majesty is going to launch troops in Zhoushan. I feel that my body is fine, so I went to the Yamen. Within half a day, I fell ill."

"The minister is old, and the older he is, the less useful he is."

Stomach disease, when I get sick, the whole esophagus is sore, and there is even a burning pain like heartburn. This kind of disease is very tormenting.

"Zhang Feng is not bad either. He is very considerate in doing things, so you don't have to work so hard." Zhu Qiyu said a word of relief.

But in fact, Zhang Feng is still not very good. If he could, Jin Lian would not go to the yamen of the household department.

Jin Lian was a little tired, but his logic was clear, and he said in a fluent sentence: "Since your Majesty ascended the throne, all the mobilization of troops, food and grass, etc. have been carried out by ministers. Although this Zhoushan sea battle is not a major event, it is also a mobilization of troops."

"Let's rest first." Zhu Qiyu saw Jin Lian's exhaustion and motioned him to rest first.

Zhu Qiyu walked to the outer hall anxiously, and asked in a low voice: "Is there no good way for the Tai Hospital?"

"It's just a stomach bug!"

Lu Zicai hesitated for a while and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, there is a way, but the Imperial Hospital is still trying."

"It is dried with the raised lady Qiu, processed with alcohol, and then filtered out to make medicine."

Zhu Qiyu asked with some doubts: "What is Xiang Niangzi?"

Lu Zicai took a deep breath, hesitated for a long time, and said, "The cockroach has a body like a moth, with a red belly and back, and two wings that can fly."

"There are three kinds of cockroaches, cockroaches, and gnats, all of which are eaten by the barbarians in the Southwest. They are mixed up as negative pan vulgars and misunderstood as women, and they are taboo called Xiangniangzi."

Lu Zi took a small jar from Ran Siniang, opened it for His Majesty to take a look, there were living things inside.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath, the name Xiang Niangzi sounds good, but the translation is cockroaches, and it is that kind of big cockroaches.

When he saw this thing, he shuddered, but it was artificially raised and very clean.

He didn't enmity with the big cockroach or hostile to the cockroach, but asked in a low voice: "Is it confirmed to be effective?"

"Yes." Lu Zicai bowed his head and said, ""Shen Nong's Materia Medica": It governs blood stasis, hard symptoms, cold and heat, broken accumulation, and sore throat."

"It's just that in the past, powder was used, and more processing was needed. But Miss Ran brought this usage, and I'm still thinking about it."

Ran Siniang came from the Xuanwei Department of Bozhou, she has practiced medicine for generations in Yunnan and Guizhou, so she should have some exclusive medical skills, it is said that that place is good at Gu, it seems that Ran Siniang is indeed a bit unique.

Zhu Qiyu turned around and said, "Miss Ran."

"My concubine is here." Ran Siniang walked forward, knowing what His Majesty wanted to ask, she quickly replied: "The barbarians in Southwest China have been using Xiangniangzi to treat stomach pain for a hundred years, and it is indeed effective."

"But this Xiang Niangzi used medicine to cure stomach problems, but sometimes she would be poisoned by Gu, so she soaked it in wine."

"It wasn't until we arrived in the Central Plains, with this shochu, after we got rid of the Gu poison, that this medicine was considered a complete success."

Shochu, Shaochun, and French wine are all one thing called distilled wine.

China's distilled liquor can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, but after the Song Dynasty, the distillation temperature can be more accurately controlled between 75°C and 100°C, and the alcohol content is getting higher and higher.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there were still incidents of drinking and drinking to death.

Shochu is also used as medicine, and is often used to reduce fever in children.

Daming's shochu is called Fajiu, with a strength of at least [-] or more. It is sterilized, isn't it just detoxification?
Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Is there any example of cure?"

Ran Siniang turned up her sleeves, took out a handbook, flipped through it and said, "Two hundred cases of Qudu Xiangniang's medicinal wine for the epigastric cavity."

Zhu Qiyu took the notebook, Ran Siniang's handwriting is very beautiful, this notebook is new, there are many pages written on it.

But the corner of the manuscript was not rolled, it can be seen that Ran Siniang cherishes this manuscript very much.

Zhu Qiyu read a few cases, returned the letter to Ran Siniang, and asked with a sigh of relief: "There are more than 200 cases?"

Ran Siniang didn't know how to explain these professional things to His Majesty, she thought for a while and said: "It's not all about the epigastric cavity, there are also some children with malnutrition, boils, and swollen toxins. I haven't figured out the pharmacology of them yet, but It can be used for most wound healing.”

After more than two months of sitting in the clinic, she already knew why there were thousands of households who were sentenced to prison in the Tai Hospital. Some patients really, really like to hear people say it!
Ran Siniang is also a Han citizen from the southwest, and her medical skills have been questioned in the capital, a benevolent place, but she quickly proved herself with her medical skills.

Although Ran Siniang doesn't understand medicine, but for wound healing, using this kind of medicinal wine is excellent.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at Jin Lian in the inner hall, lying on the bed and sleeping peacefully, nodded and said, "Then try it."

Jin Lian is so safe at this time, it is because the Mabo soup used for analgesia in the Tai Hospital is still taking effect.

"The concubine receives the order." Ran Siniang hurriedly received the order.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Jin Lian again full of worry, if this medicine is really useful, the grudge between him and the big cockroach will disappear!
"Can you show me this Gu jar?" Hu Yan took the Gu jar. This Gu jar is a small cage made of bamboo strips, the top is small and the bottom is big.

Hu Yan looked at it for a long time, then handed over the Gu jar and said with a smile: "Miss Ran is ingenious and very clean."

"Thanks to Hu Shangshu's compliment." Ran Siniang said hastily.

These are all big figures in the court, and Hu Wei also has a book "Easy and Simple Prescriptions for Hygiene and Prevention". After reading the twelve long volumes and studying them carefully, Ran Siniang felt that Hu Wei was very talented.

Everyone ridiculed Hu Wei for being downwind and having no backbone.

But Ran Siniang met Hu Wei in Tai'an Palace, he was the prince's young teacher, who specialized in teaching the children in the mansion.

The children are simple-minded, and they like Hu Wei very much. Although Hu Wei's lectures are extremely strict, after class, they all hang around the 70-year-old grandfather.

After reading Hu Wei's book, Ran Siniang felt that the rumors in the market were somewhat distorted. No matter how she looked at it, he should be a good person.

Standing from a different angle, one sees it differently. What His Majesty does is the law of the ancestors. There are so many Fengxian officials in the court who can't compete with him alone. How can he be addicted to his mouth?
Zhu Qiyu suddenly thought of a more magical medicine in later generations, Yunnan Baiyao.

He asked curiously: "Does your Guizhou have a medicine called Panax notoginseng that nourishes qi and blood? And it can also treat bruises?"

Although Ran Siniang was surprised that His Majesty, the Son of Heaven, knew the special products of Guizhou, she still bowed her head and said: "Yes, Panax notoginseng, kudzu root, and borneol are the main medicines, and they are called Baibaodan."

"Good stuff." Zhu Qiyu nodded, that's what he asked.

He said very solemnly: "Miss Ran wants to combine Yunnan-Guizhou medicine with Central Plains medicine to make a good medicine, which can be regarded as a hanging pot to help the world."

Under Ran Siniang's hood, there was a smile. This His Majesty also had expectations of her, and he didn't simply regard her as a beautiful girl.

Until now, His Majesty has never taken off her veil.

She nodded and said: "The medicine given to Jin Shangshu will also use this medicine, and there is another medicine that is also a specialty of our Southwest called Jin Buhuan, but the medicine is more expensive than gold, and it is also a good cure for stomach problems."

Ran Siniang flipped through the handbook, turned to the page of Jin Buhuan and said, "This is it."

Zhu Qiyu didn't quite understand this, so he nodded and said, "Okay, very good!"

He didn't want Jin Lian to die because of the torment of stomach disease. As the important minister of the country, Zhu Qiyu gave Jin Lian Liujue, just hoping that he could continue to shine for Daming.

Although sometimes, his kerosene-saving temperament did make his scalp tingle.

But he still hopes that Jin Lian can accompany him to continue walking, Jin Lian is not Yang Hong, he still has too many things, too many regrets.

　Jinbuhuan (Basil), Panax notoginseng, and arrowroot powder are all common Chinese medicines for treating stomach problems in the Guangzhou Army's "Handbook of Commonly Used Chinese Herbal Medicine" and "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook".As for that Qiu Niangzi concocted it, it is the "New Medicine for Rehabilitation", which is very common now. I had a stomach problem a few days ago. This stuff is smelly and sweet, but it works well if it works.Stomach trouble, the heartburn feeling is really uncomfortable, there is a feeling of ascending to heaven immediately, I use this thing, anyway, it is quite easy to use.If you are disgusting or not, you can cure the disease, and finally ask for votes! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
