I am the king of the dead

Chapter 936 An initial small goal, the sun never sets

No matter how many new policies Zhu Qiyu launched, the basic background of the Ming court is still extremely conservative, and extreme conservative is more conservative than conservative.

For example, Zhu Qiyu proposed the national debt before and perfected its theoretical basis, but the household department of Ming Dynasty firmly held the objection. Finally, after the court discussion, only the national debt of 500 million silver coins was approved. The five-year period is approaching. Or the Ministry of Household Affairs, both have reservations about the re-issue of government bonds.

Having reservations means objecting, and there are very good reasons for objecting, whether it is the state funds or domestic funds are extremely abundant, His Majesty can do whatever he wants, whether it is using troops against Cochin, against Hara and Lin, or going south to the West At the same time, Daming's household and internal funds fully guaranteed the military equipment of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, there was still money left over to distribute some New Year silver to the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Your Majesty is so poor that he borrowed money from the common people. Doesn't that mean that the national money and the internal money are all a bunch of moneybags?

Wang Hu of Ji Province, Lin Xiu, Eunuch of Internal Finance, Shen Yi, Minister of the Household Department, Xiao Yi, Minister of the Household Department, and others believed that the Ming court was not at the point where it borrowed money from the common people and influential figures, and even the Ministry of Rites was a little The criticism, the imperial court borrowed money from the people, what is the system, what is the state, and what is your majesty's face.

In short, for Ming officials, it is still the same. They are ashamed of talking about profit, and the national debt is a very embarrassing thing.

Zhu Qiyu finally decided to suspend the implementation of the national debt after comprehensively considering the opinions of the Ministry of Planning, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Rites.

The last time the national debt was issued, Zhu Qiyu was on a tour in the south, and the national debt became a carnival for meat eaters. Even if Zhu Qiyu was in Beiya, it was not much better. It was not that the people had no money to buy it, but that the national debt was directly sold. The meat-eaters were allotted cleanly, not even a penny was left, and it was not even the turn of the Baoyuan Bureau to distribute it. There were also people who traded it privately, and the price was higher than the issue price. Like subprime mortgages, they can be sold very quickly for arbitrage.

This national debt has become a business, and it is false, so naturally Zhu Qiyu will not issue it anymore.

Regarding the role of national debt, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Finance have very consistent opinions. In the national system of financial affairs, the roles of national debt and salt are highly overlapping, except that one can be converted into salt, one can be converted into silver coins, and the other is interest-free. , one has interest, and Yanyin can also be exchanged for silver coins. It is better to exchange in Datong Prefecture than in Zhejiang, and there is also a profit margin.

There is another reason why the national debt is not acclimatized and cannot play its role. It is really the national power of Daming, which is too strong. Even Zhu Qiyu, who holds the artifact, does not know where the upper limit of Daming is.

Zhu Qiyu clearly knows that he is not always wise, not every decision is right, just as he said to Prince Zhu Jiancheng, there is no absolutely right person in this world, that is a saint, besides, there is no one in the world saint.

With regard to the matter of giving money for the Chinese New Year, as long as the two big bosses of Ming Dynasty agreed, there was naturally no objection. The last salt and iron meeting before the Chinese New Year was gradually approaching in a lively and serious atmosphere. end.

"Your Majesty, I just received the Tang newspaper." Xing'an put an urgent Tang newspaper in front of Zhu Qiyu, who opened it with a smile on his face.

Wang Yue, a 33 Jinshi from Kang Guobao Minguan, Duntai Yuanhou from Daming, Jingtai [-]nd Grade [-], has already arrived in Luntai City. According to the footsteps, he can arrive in the capital about before the Chinese New Year.

This time Wang Yue is returning to Beijing to report on his duties. After the new year, he will return to Kang Guo to continue to help Wang Fu in his work. The main reason for Wang Yue's return is that he is homesick. Showing their faces in front of the emperor, His Majesty the Emperor might have forgotten them in Kang.

Zhu Qiyu pushed the Tang newspaper to Yu Qian, and Yu Qian smiled after reading it, and returned the Tang newspaper to Xing'an.

Yu Qian said with a smile on his face, "Congratulations."

As for the happy event, there were so many courtiers at the Salt and Iron Conference, and the two did not discuss it in detail. It was just such a small gesture, but it made people feel emotional. Your Majesty still trusts and respects Yu Shaobao as always, just this gesture of handing over the note is so natural , but with such a simple action, when did His Majesty do it to others?

Yu Shaobao's reaction was also very interesting. He returned the pond newspaper to Xing'an instead of His Majesty, and it was his duty to be a minister.

Jun Shengchen Xian, Your Majesty and Yu Shaobao still have no gap, which makes some people with all kinds of small thoughts can only accept those dirty thoughts.

On the way back to Lecture Hall, Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian had a full exchange of ideas about the Governor of Luzon. Yu Qian very much agreed with the restoration of the Governor of Luzon, and he also understood the candidate proposed by His Majesty, but Yu Qian still didn't quite understand it. After entering Beijing, His Majesty's attitude towards overseas Chinese remains the same without any change.

Zhu Qiyu said quite seriously: "Yu Shaobao, think about it, whether it's the royal family's vassal, or the common people's separation, is it true that after the separation, they are each a family? The expatriates have separated from Daming. The two families are already connected, yes, they are connected by the same kind of blood, I know, but the candidate for the governor of Luzon should be sent by the people of Ming Dynasty."

"Luzon is too close to Daming."

"What your Majesty said is very true." Yu Qian thought for a while, for Daming, this is not a big deal, there is no need to confront His Majesty at all, the matter of the overseas governor is an exploration, and it is all about crossing the river by feeling the stones.

In fact, it has nothing to do with distance. Once this social practice has achieved results, no matter how far or near it is, it will become a rule to send the governor. Once this becomes a rule, it will form a huge vested interest group. I have to use a knife.

Seeing that Yu Qian agreed with his idea, Zhu Qiyu narrowed his eyes and said: "As soon as the conquest system came out, there were a lot of idle clansmen and yamen in the capital. I know that fighting dogs and walking birds is nothing serious, and I feel bored for them."

"I just want to pick on this Luzon, so let them go. Whoever does a good job will hand over the Luzon Governor. Don't you like to fight dogs and walk birds? I will give them an island and let them fight on it. .”

Yu Qian was happy when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, is there a possibility that your Majesty sees that they have no business and is boring for them, but they like it and find it interesting? People are always different. .”

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said in a low voice: "Let's not hide it from Shaobao. Of course I know that they are willing to degenerate. I just sit in this position. I can't help it. I just see that they are too idle and find something for them to do."

Zhu Qiyu is an ordinary person, and this group of yamen hang around under his nose all day long. If he has money and leisure, his life should be as comfortable as possible. Get angry.

"However, it's still based on the principle of voluntariness. If you want to go, you can go. If you don't want to, Daming can afford to be a rice bug, and I won't force them." Zhu Qiyu leaned on the back of the chair, after all, let them Voluntary registration, overseas titles, and overseas positions have already been drawn up. Zhu Qiyu wants to support and encourage Daming's yamen and clan relatives to go to sea. If these people go out, they will not harm the people of Daming.

As for their destructive power, how much destructive power they have in Daming, they will only be stronger when they go overseas without the suppression of the court and the emperor.

Yu Qian has quite a lot of experience as an official. He said tentatively: "Your Majesty's edict will spread, and the news will spread. It is estimated that this involuntary will be voluntary."

"I didn't force them. Their parents forced them to be better, and it has nothing to do with me." Zhu Qiyu waved his hands repeatedly and said, he will not take the blame for this coercion, but he said it clearly and clearly, it is voluntary!

As for the yamen and clan relatives who went to sea, who volunteered, anyway, it wasn't Zhu Qiyu.

Yu Qian smiled even more when he heard it: "Your Majesty is also a scholar. For this matter of a scholar, being forced voluntarily is not considered coercion."

A scholar is a frame, and everything can be put in it.

Zhu Qiyu laughed out loud, they are all scholars, they are all carved out of the same mold, they are all cold political machines.

After the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty returned to the Imperial Study Room of the Juxian Pavilion in the Lecture Hall, he had been staring at Kanyutu in a daze, thinking about the meaning of the empire on which the sun never sets.

No matter which empire the sun never sets, are they really the sun never sets?
In the colonies, the economy, military, politics, culture, means of production, etc. are all firmly grasped by the capitalists who go to sea, and there may be such a thin feudal relationship with the suzerain country. The suzerain country does not have a strong economy for the colonies. , military, political, and cultural constraints.

If this is the case, the King of Ceylon was captured by Zheng He and sent to the Ming Dynasty for trial, and then Emperor Wen of the Ming Dynasty canonized the new King of Ceylon. Does this count as the territory of the Ming Dynasty?This is a concrete manifestation of military restraint.

If the Jiji is included, then the territory map of the Ming Dynasty, isn't it just a little bit?The entire western and southern oceans should be included in the territory of Ming Dynasty.

Why do these empires of the later generations claim that the sun never sets with a lick of their cheeks, and when it comes to the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it is only counted as the territory of prefectures and counties?The jurisprudence since ancient times, in the hands of these descendants of pirates, can be declared in the form of restraints, but when it comes to the Central Plains Dynasty, it can only be claimed in the four directions?
By fist.

Zhu Qiyu clenched his fists and looked at the Kanyu map. Among the goals of making Daming great again, in terms of territory, the territory where the sun never sets, and the basic confinement of the land of heaven and earth, are part of the initial realization of making Daming great again.

Zhu Qiyu dealt with the official documents as always, and the theoretical basis of Da Ming's fact-based theory has begun to be continuously improved in the process of great speculation.

Hu Wei walked into the Huitong Hall slowly with small square steps. He came to see Nikolaoz and no longer participated in the Salt and Iron Conference. end.

"I've seen Master Hu." Nikolaoz put down the quill in his hand, he was still writing "The Travel Notes of the Roman Envoy to Daming", he and Hu Wei often met, but every time they poked each other's lung tubes, only However, Nikolaoz is really too young compared to Hu Wei. Hu Wei wins every time. Except for the washing of the crown suit, Nikolaoz has almost never won.

Hu Wei looked at Nikolaoz's quill, silently took out the Daming imperial pen, and played with it in his hand.

"What is this?" Nikolaoz frowned.

Hu Yi handed the imperial fountain pen to Nikolaoz, and said with a smile: "The imperial fountain pen produced by the Bingzhan Bureau is not bad, it is much better than your quill pen."

Hu Wei has an imperial fountain pen made by His Majesty himself, but that one, how could he easily show it to others?But the production of this military battle is still the best of the best. Nikolaoz couldn't put it down, but he still gave it back to Hu Wei.

Hu Yan shook his sleeves, took out a sandalwood box, and said with a smile: "I still have a lot, I'll give you two."

Hu Wei was not restrained, and after finding a place to sit down, he took the travel notes written by Nikolaoz, read it for a long time, and then said: "I can't accept it, I'm tired after reading it for a while, but I just saw it. The content, what you wrote, doesn’t make sense.”

"I wrote it in Latin, can you understand it?" Nikolaoz asked with a frown.

Hu Wei took it for granted, "It's just phonograms. As a Jinshi of ideograms, would I be surprised if I learn them?"

As soon as Hu Wei opened his mouth, he spoke in an authentic Junbao accent. His pronunciation was pure and free of any mistakes. In the absence of a language environment, Hu Wei was so authentic that Nikolaoz frowned even more. He has been in Daming for ten years. There is no problem in daily communication. If you want to understand the Four Books and Five Classics, it is a fool's dream.

Hu Yan said cheerfully: "Our Daming translators pay attention to integrity and elegance. Faith means accuracy and does not violate the meaning of the original text; Da means smoothness and is not limited to form; elegance means conciseness and elegance, and they all translate randomly like you group of savages. , His Majesty will be angry."

Nikolaoz was furious. He was a serious Roman envoy. It is no wonder that he was not angry when he was scolded as a barbarian. However, what Hu Ming said was very reasonable and logical. From the perspective of language, he pointed out the backwardness of Roman etiquette. , the translations are all casual translations, there are no rules at all.

Nikolaoz said angrily, "I don't like talking to you. I get angry when I talk to you. It's strange that I fell into your words."

Nikolaoz couldn't beat Hu Mei, he didn't deserve to lose, how many people in Daming could he say Hu Mei?
When Chen Xunru went to the palace in his gown, Hu Wei alone was able to silence a group of Confucian scholars.

Nicolaus sat and discussed with Hu Wei, it would be strange not to have a lung tube poked.

"Have you solved the problem of high moral disadvantage? This is not conducive to colonization. If you want to do colonization, you can't talk about interests when you talk about morality. Interests and morality are in conflict." Nicholas thought of a point that could be attacked.

Hu Wei said in an old godlike way: "Thank you for reminding me, it's resolved, Daming does have high moral disadvantages, but there are too many people in Daming, if you want to pick some people with low moral advantages and throw them overseas to develop, or More than enough."

"Okay." Nikolaos frowned, and said with a little regret. There is an old saying in Daming that there are all kinds of birds in the forest. Daming really opened the sea and selected a group of birds without any morals. People can still find many, many.

Nikolaoz's eyes flickered, and he seemed to say inadvertently: "I heard that His Majesty is presiding over the Salt and Iron Conference today, and Young Master Hu is here to gossip with me. I think it's because he didn't go to the Salt and Iron Conference. The Ming Empire that has survived for 50 years The elders of the Senate seem to have been expelled from the Senate."

"Who is the same as your Roman Senate for life?" Hu Wei was not angry at all when he heard the words, but handed out the knife and went straight to Nikolaoz's vital point. The Roman Senate system is the root of Rome's rigidity, and it can even be blamed as one of the reasons for subjugation.

Nikolaoz's complexion changed drastically.

Hu Mei made another cut and said: "Your Majesty told me to go. I am so old and always occupy the pit. Young people will have opinions, so I won't go, and I can't hold it anymore. I just sit for a few minutes. An hour later, I was so tired that I could just read the mansion newspaper when the time came, and it’s not like I couldn’t understand it.”

Nikolaoz blushed this time, and this time he was outraged. Nikolaoz really couldn't understand the mansion newspaper.

"Hahaha, you are so old, and you are still so angry." Hu Wei added another knife, Hu Wei is more than 20 years older than Nikolaoz, when Nikolaoz's father brought Nikolaoz to visit Nikolaoz was still a young man in Ming Dynasty, but now they both look the same old.

"You!" Nikolaoz said heartbroken. He stood up and walked for a long time before he finally let go of his anger. Hu Mi just wanted to see him jumping his feet angrily, and the more he got angry, Hu Mi laughed. The happier you are.

"I have some things I don't understand, can Young Master Hu teach me?" Nikolaos still talked about the business, and asked him what he didn't understand. In the future, when the fifth prince returns like lightning, he can also refer to it.

"If you ask, I'll tell you if I know." Hu Wei's words mean that if you can't say a word, you won't say a word. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine. The prerequisite for this communication, Hu Wei is will not change.

　The territory where the sun never sets is just the goal of making Ming great again, not the overall goal.Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! !
