I am the king of the dead

Chapter 479 Small Changes in the Court's Narrative Style

Hu Wei said confidently: "A run is the scariest thing."

Zhu Qiyu took a sip of tea and said in approval: "That's true."

Hu Mei said with emotion: "In Taixi, around the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, Taixi had a loose military and political alliance called the Delian League."

"They built a temple on the island of Delos. There are nine white stone lions in front of this temple. It is the birthplace of Apollo, the god of light and prophecy, and Artemis, the goddess of hunting."

"This temple is in charge of the treasury of the Delos League. This treasury manages the custody of gold and silver, the collection and payment of interest, and the issuance of loans, so Delos is also called the Silver Islands."

"And the Delian League was held by Pericles from Great Qin, and Pericles became the lord of the Silver Islands."

"This year, Pericles, the lord of the Silver Islands, borrowed silver from thirteen city-states, but these thirteen city-states never honored their promises. They caused the temple to lose [-]% of its principal."

"All the depositors in the Silver Islands heard the news and began to sell silver in the temple."

"Pericles, the king of the Qin people and the lord of the Silver Islands, had no choice but to take back the little silver left to Greece, which triggered a rebellion in the Silver Islands."

Because of not keeping promises, the temple went bankrupt, [-]% of the principal disappeared without a trace, and the remaining two principals were transported back to Athens by Pericles, which triggered the Silver War, and became the capital of Athens and Sparta Pelopon A footnote to the Nissa Wars.

Run, squeeze to exchange for silver coins from Baoyuan Bureau.

Hu Wei continued: "During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, frequent wars caused wealthy businessmen and wealthy merchants to be displaced and unable to sustain themselves. Clan landlords and temples built on religious beliefs became the main body of private lending."

"The monastery has a special temple treasury, and it borrows money for a fee. Finally, in the city of Chang'an, it established a Wuwu Zangyuan specializing in deposits, loans, guarantees, remittances, and exchanges."

Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but think of the commissioner who rushed to buy, Chang Yi, whom he saw in Yanyun Tower when he was in Nanya.

Changyi comes from the death of monks in temples, and people who buy monks' relics are called Changyi, who are responsible for buying things.

Endless Zangyuan, which integrates deposit, loan, guarantee and exchange, is an institution for private fund-raising and lending.

Hu Wei continued: "There are pledges in Endless Tibetan Academy, that is, property mortgages, also known as quality warehouses, longevity warehouses, and the most common ones are pawn shops."

"There is another kind of borrowing to pay the responsibility, that is, there is no collateral, and the loan can be borrowed only on the basis of personal credit, but this kind of interest is generally relatively high, which is called repayment of interest over capital."

"In the 16th year of Kaiyuan, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang ordered that the profit should not exceed five cents. Although there are many accumulated days, the capital must not be exceeded."

That is, the interest cannot exceed the principal, and once it exceeds, you can sue the government.

"The imperial court can control the official business, but can't control the temples, and endless Tibetan courtyards. This business is getting bigger and bigger. It really lives up to their name, endless."

"Then Emperor Wuzong of Tang attacked them, because they refused to pay the reserve after receiving the reserve, which caused civil unrest."

Foreign sects are never well-behaved, in fact they are all bad.

The imperial court ordered that the profit should not be exceeded, but they were lucky and insisted on touching the imperial court.After receiving high interest rates, they refused to pay due to the large number of people.

Tang Wuzong destroyed more than 26 temples in the Tang Dynasty, confiscated tens of millions of hectares of fertile land, and forced more than [-] monks and nuns to return to lay life.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "It's actually easy to run, I just leave [-]% to pay them."

"Are there more silver coins than mine in the world?"

Hu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and then said with emotion: "Your Majesty is right."

If you have money, you can speak hard.

The place with the most silver coins in the world is the inner storage.

If it weren't for Jin Lian's oppression all day long, His Majesty, the largest currency holder, could directly monopolize a certain business in his own hands no matter what he invested in.

It is reasonable for Jin Lian to prevent the emperor from engaging in monopoly.

Because there have been industries monopolized by emperors in history.

Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou monopolized the business of excrement and shop collapse.

The court of the Northern Song Dynasty had a wide range of official operations, and then began to continuously raise the prices of these goods, which eventually made the people miserable.

Zhu Qiyu said hesitantly: "Will it lead to the emergence of the Ming Dynasty's emphasis on business and worshiping money?"

The clan of the Ming Dynasty relied on ancestor worship, while Rome worshiped ghosts and gods, so it is not impossible for the money worship religion to appear.

Nothing is impossible without money, but money is not everything.

"This really requires vigilance." Hu Yan said very seriously.

Daming already had the bad habit of competing for extravagance, and this changed from competing for extravagance to worshiping money, which violated Zhu Qiyu's original intention.

This is part of the benevolence and righteousness of the court.

After chatting with His Majesty for a long time, Hu Wei left Tai'an Palace and headed towards the mansion with his own lamp.

After finishing processing the official documents in Zhu Qiyu's hands, she stood up and was about to go to the bathroom.

Xing'an saw that His Majesty was finally busy with state affairs, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Ran gave Li Guiren his pulse today and said that he was pregnant. The Lu Court of the Supreme Hospital has come. It is indeed a joy."

"I congratulate Your Majesty, and congratulate Daming."

Zhu Qiyu said happily, "Very well, let's see, is it a boy or a girl?"

"Ah, who can tell..." Xing'an shook his head and said.

Zhu Qiyu laughed and said with a smile: "Your Majesty Li, Concubine Jin Shu."

He took two steps forward and said, "Is Chen Xuan, Chen Wanniang, not pregnant yet?"

Xing'an hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Lord Ran said that Chen Xuanshi's body is not very strong, and the palace is cold, so he may not be able to breed dragon species."

Zhu Qiyu frowned and asked: "Are you sure? Hasn't she been taking care of her body?"

"It's hard." Xing'an said helplessly.

Chen Wanniang has always wanted to have a son and a half daughter, even if she gave birth to a princess, she would be considered someone under her knees.

But it has been a year and a half, and there has been no movement. His Majesty loves Chen Wanniang very much, but there has been no result. There is already a palace grievance in the palace.

Everyone is old, and on the day when they are no longer loved, having a son and a half daughter under their knees can be considered a comfort.

It's not good for Chen Wanniang to keep her body small, otherwise Chen Wanniang's breadwinner would have bound her feet long ago.

Zhu Qiyu sighed and asked, "Does Chen Xuan know?"

Xing'an shook his head, bowed his head and said: "Chen Xuanshi asked Ran Guiren today, and Ran Guiren said that she is in good health and has never been pregnant. It's just bad luck."

"Ran Guiren is still hiding it from Chen Xuanshi, but...Chen Xuanshi probably knows about it."

Zhu Qiyu said with some regret: "It's also a hard-working person, let Chen Xuan serve the bed."

"The minister leads the decree." Xing'an bowed his head and went, carrying the big red lantern, towards the Huae Building where Chen Xuanshi lived.

After Zhu Qiyu took a shower, he strolled to Chen Xuanshi's Huae Building.

"See Your Majesty." Chen Wanniang obviously knew that His Majesty was coming, and she also dressed up carefully. Zhu Qiyu could also feel the sadness on her brows.

"Stay flat." Zhu Qiyu told Chen Wanniang to flatten.

Chen Wanniang just chooses a servant, that is, the palace concubine who serves in bed. Of course, once she has a child, she will fly on a branch and become a phoenix.

Rarely, Zhu Qiyu didn't tease Chen Wanniang, but comforted her a few words, it's okay not to comfort her, when talking about this matter, Chen Wanniang's tears finally couldn't stop falling.

Chen Wanniang wiped away her tears, leaned against Zhu Qiyu's arms, and remained motionless.

She sang in a low voice: "The hatred is endless, the deep palace resents the daughter; the love is silent, the dream breaks the sheep cart; it is deserted, the Nagato is lonely and green, the sun is late, and the spring breeze courtyard."

"Tears are endless, tearing through the jade; drowning and drowning, leaving the house to relax; dizzy, the evening smoke and snow are blurred, pattering, sprinkling pear blossoms and evening rain..."

Zhu Qiyu patted her lightly.

Chen Wanniang knew that this might be the last time His Majesty would take pity on her.

Right now, His Majesty has only three sons, Zhu Jianji, Zhu Jiancheng, and Zhu Jianjun, and an adopted son, Zhu Yu.

There are not many offspring.

In this day and age, the possibility of a child's premature death is very high, and the number of heirs is not only a matter of His Majesty, but also a matter of the court.

"Li Guiren is also pregnant, so I can't live up to my concubine's belly! I can't wait to gouge it out and let Ran Guiren see how it is different from other women, and why it has been so long since I saw the fetal knot!" Chen Wanniang patted hard My stomach was a little angry and aggrieved.

Zhu Qiyu wiped away Chen Wanniang's tears, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't cry, it won't look good anymore."

"Let's try a few more times."

Tang Yunyan also had a period of time before, and she was always unable to conceive, mainly because Tang Yunyan was too greedy and tireless.

Chen Wanniang is completely different, she is weak in body.

In the morning light, the golden sun pierced the blue sky, swept forward from the horizon, swept across the sea in the east, and woke up the people in the city.

Zhu Qiyu presided over the court meeting in Fengtian Hall.

First of all, the agreed sea-opening matters, mainly shipbuilding, tribute ships and merchant ship management, and the Municipal Shipping Department, and then the Baoyuan Bureau’s collection and storage. coal etc.

These are things that were negotiated.

Xing'an held the imperial decree and shouted loudly: "The bandits and the merchants are the same people. If the market is popular, the bandits will turn into merchants. If the market is banned, the merchants will turn into bandits. At the beginning, merchants are banned, and afterward, bandits are banned. The ban gets better." Strictly, the bandits become more prosperous."

"Slabs are not allowed to go to the sea, and giant ships come from the river; goods are not allowed to enter, and children and treasures are always left with full loads. Therefore, everyone on the beach is a thief, and there are those who cannot be punished."

"The Mizhou Shipping Department, the Yuegang City Shipping Department, and the Songjiang Shipping Department were set up the day before yesterday, and today we will open the sea..."

The main reason for opening the sea is to control the Japanese plague.

Throughout the Ming Dynasty's sea ban policy, as long as the sea is banned, Japanese pirates will be like crucian carp crossing the river.

When the decree was announced in Xing'an, Zhu Qiyu looked at the faces of the ministers in Fengtian Hall.

In the 26th year of Jiajing, Jiajing sent Zhu Wan to Zhejiang to supervise the military affairs of Fujian and Zhejiang coastal defense.

Zhu Wan did a good job, but on this trip to the south, Zhu Wan died.

Because on the one hand, Zhu Wan held a big stick in his hand and severely cracked down on smuggling by maritime merchants. On the other hand, he actively advised the imperial court, saying that opening the sea can cure the Japanese.

Zhu Wan was admiral of coastal defense military affairs in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces. In addition to arresting the pirate Li Guangtou and others, he also severely punished the Hongmao Fan who was raging along the coast at that time, that is, the Frangji people in Zhao'an.

Zhu Wan killed Huang Siye's horse, what good could happen?

Soon Zhu Wan was impeached by Feng Xianyan, and then Zhu Wan was dismissed from office. The Fujian-Zhejiang smuggler took the opportunity to kill him. Knowing that he could not get out of Fujian-Zhejiang alive, Zhu Wan committed suicide by drinking medicine.

It is the so-called: "The people of Fujian spend their food and clothing in the sea, and suddenly lose their profits. Even if it is inconvenient for the scholar-bureaucrats, they want to frustrate them."

That year was the 28th year of Jiajing.

With Zhu Wan's death, none of the court officials dared to speak about Kaihai.

From the 31st year of Jiajing period to the 43rd year of Jiajing period, the Jiajing Japanese Rebellion occurred in large-scale pirate robbery, burning and killing throughout the coastal areas of Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong provinces.

During the 13 years of Jiajing Japanese Invasion, all the pirate leaders, including Xu Dong, Wang Zhi, Chen Dong, Xu Hai, Hong Dizhen and others, were all accused of crimes.

After the death of Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Longqing ascended the throne.

In the first year of Longqing, Tu Zemin, the governor of Fujian, once again wrote a letter to open the sea, this time the court came prepared.

In the end, the Yuegang City Shipping Department was built in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province. The Yuegang City Shipping Department brought about 70 taels of silver income to the imperial court a year.

Zhu Qiyu's success in opening the sea began with the establishment of the Shipping Department in Mizhou City, and until today, it finally entered the time when the imperial court wanted to build a large ship of [-] materials.

Xing'an finally finished reading the lengthy imperial decree, Zhu Qiyu sat up straight and asked, "Anyone object?"

Silent.

"Is there no objection?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

Supervisor Cai Yuji looked left and right, stood up, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, I have doubts."

"Speak." Zhu Qiyu nodded and said.

"In this imperial decree, I heard the imperial court, local officials, officials, and soldiers, but I didn't hear the word Min, Your Majesty." Cai Yuji stood up straight and said.

Zhu Qiyu asked: "The people you are talking about, are you the gentry or the common people?"

Cai Yuji said loudly: "I'm talking about the people, of course, and I'm asking about the treatment of craftsmen."

"Before, Guo Yan led the eight prefectures to supervise the shipbuilding, and in the end it became a mess. Your Majesty, shipbuilding needs craftsmen, boating needs boatmen and boat masters, and goods need the labor of the people."

After the Nanya Dynasty was pacified, the narrative style of the Ming Dynasty Hall underwent a slight change, and the people no longer represented the gentry and gentry, but ordinary people.

Zhu Qiyu then nodded and said: "Ah, what you said is very good, I also have this worry."

"So, the craftsmen all live in the official buildings of the factory. The Longjiang Shipyard will station the Beijing Army and Jinyi Guards. Don't worry about safety. If the labor is paid, it will be paid according to the treatment of the craftsmen in the official factory."

The economic base determines the superstructure, which includes ideology, institutions and government orders.

The superstructure will in turn act on the economic base and production relations.

Productivity determines production relations, and production relations can react on productivity.

If the craftsmen are not treated, where does the status of the craftsmen come from?Where does productivity increase, how to change production relations, and change the economic base?

The monthly salary can't even fill one's own stomach. Who would be a craftsman?

If you have no status or wealth, how can you marry a wife and have children?

The treatment of craftsmen in official factories is second only to the sergeants of the Beijing camp and the silversmiths of the military bureau.

Jin Lian stood up and explained in detail the salary of the craftsmen, which is about four to six times the daily necessities.

Jin Lian is quite stingy, the Ming Dynasty dared to share a cent of silver with His Majesty, Jin Lian was the only one who cared about everything.

But Jin Lian was surprisingly generous this time, giving Kaihai whatever he wanted.

It's a huge investment, but Jin Lian believes it will pay off.

Cai Yuji bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty has seen the details clearly, and I have no doubts."

Seeing that no one was discussing the opening of the sea, the Minister of Honglu Temple stood up and bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, the Prince of Joseon and Li Yu, King of Shouyang, request an audience."
