I'm really not doing business

Chapter 262: Full of proficiency, probing inside and outside
The monopoly of information is also a concrete manifestation of the monopoly of power.

The construction of information cocoon is a result and phenomenon of power monopoly.

For the courtiers, the little emperor is also in an information cocoon. The courtiers need to guess the holy will through the cabinet and the ceremonial supervisor. This is the downward opacity of information, and the same information will also be selectively opaque.

In the case of the attack on the Taifu in Xishan, how should this case be determined? Is it because the Taifu has no reverent heart?Or is the emperor going to have a military confrontation with the Taifu?Or maybe the emperor concluded that someone else was responsible?Or maybe the emperor wants to compromise in exchange for recognition and make the country more stable?
These originally required speculation, but now there is no need for it.

Compromise in exchange for recognition. For example, in the case of the palace fire, the emperor could have chosen to pin all the blame on Gao Gong in exchange for the stability of the court, but His Majesty did not do that. For example, the Taoist Master's 25 years of shame, etc., are all Similar compromises were exchanged for recognition and maintained the stability of the court.

His Majesty has made his attitude clear and clear, and he wants blood to flow like a river.

Zhang Juzheng cannot take the blame. Even if the man behind the scenes cannot be traced to the end, he still has to find a powerful person to take the blame and pin the blame on him, because Zhang Juzheng is another name for the New Deal.

The court meeting began, and the discussion on the progressive tax system was an important part of today's court meeting. Wang Shuguo denounced the tax inspectorate for being greedy, talked about the dangers of amassing profits, and then turned around and threw out an interesting thing, the progressive tax system. What's next? Those contents can be ignored.

The most critical thing is this progressive tax system.

"Sea tax should still be drawn at [-] out of [-], and it is not suitable to implement the tax system for the time being." Chief Assistant Lu Tiaoyang first set a tone for this court meeting. A progressive tax system can be implemented, sea tax will not be increased for the time being, and the country will be rich and powerful, and the sea will be cultivated and mulled. , are two basic national policies at present. If the sea tax system is progressive, it runs counter to the main theme of opening up the sea in the Ming Dynasty.

"Light sea taxes were used to encourage people to go to sea, heavy land taxes were used to force people to return to the fields, six were drawn out of [-], and the government's tariffs seemed very small, but the Ming Dynasty benefited a lot. The Ming Dynasty was short of money, and it needed a huge amount of silver to flow into the Ming Dynasty to serve as currency. Not only silver, but also fish oil, spices, copper, sulfur, etc., all rely on sea trade, and I personally believe that sea taxation should not be progressive." Lu Tiaoyang stated his reasons.

Encouraging the expansion of the sea and forcing the return of farmland is an important application of the long whip of the Ming Dynasty's tax law, and it is a heavy blow.

The money shortage of the Ming Dynasty, or the money shortage of the Central Plains Dynasty, has been around for a long time. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Song Dynasty court minted a large number of coins, including copper coins, iron coins, and flying coins. However, even iron coins as thin as cicada wings were still in short supply. In the end, A paper note called Qianyin was issued to serve as currency.

This is a banknote issued by the imperial court. It was first printed on a large scale in the early Northern Song Dynasty.

In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Jiaozi, jointly issued by sixteen wealthy businessmen in Sichuan, was the earliest banknote in the Central Plains Dynasty. Every year when silkworms, rice and wheat were about to ripen, banknotes were printed on the same color paper for trade. It is convenient for circulation. When exchanging, 40 yuan will be deducted as the usage fee of Jiaozi.

Jiaozi and Qianyin were banknotes during the Northern Song Dynasty. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty issued a large number of Qianyin indiscriminately, which eventually led to the corruption of the banknote law in the Northern Song Dynasty.

By the time of Hu Yuan in the Southern Song Dynasty, it had developed into a treasure banknote. The earliest treasure banknote was the Zhongtong Yuanbao banknote issued by Kublai Khan. Then a vicious cycle began over and over again. The banknote method was corrupted, new banknotes were issued, and new banknotes were issued again. After being corrupted and new banknotes were issued, the Ming Dynasty banknotes did not escape the fate of the Hu Yuan banknotes. In the 25th year of Hongwu, when new banknotes were issued, they found that they could not be replaced.

There are many reasons for the corruption of treasure banknotes. For example, private printing became common. During the Hongwu period, a total of 900 million guan of treasure banknotes were issued. When it came time to replace the banknotes, 600 million yuan was exchanged in a few days. The imperial court did not issue so many treasure banknotes, but the private sector There are so many treasure banknotes. Private printing and indiscriminate issuance are the reasons for the proliferation of treasure banknotes. The proliferation of treasure banknotes means that the value of treasure banknotes has greatly depreciated. Naturally, no one is willing to use a currency that depreciates as soon as it is held. .

Due to the system construction of the Ming Dynasty, even during the Wanli period, there was still not enough administrative capacity to print money, so minting money became a top priority. The Ming Dynasty could mint 2000 million copper coins a year. At first glance, it sounds like a lot, but in fact It only came down to 1 guan, which is roughly equivalent to [-] taels of silver.

The Ming Dynasty can absorb more than 400 million taels of silver every year. Therefore, building a money law based on silver and copper has become the optimal solution for the Ming Dynasty at present.

The significance of opening the sea is not only to promote the New Deal of One Whip Law, but also to solve the stubborn problem of money shortage in the Central Plains Dynasty. Gold and silver are natural currencies, and everyone recognizes their value. Even in later generations, their prices are very stable and strong.

"Isn't it a little too hasty?" Wang Chonggu sat up straight and said: "In the 25th year of King Zhou Xiang, Duke Mu of Qin took advantage of the new death of the king of Jin and sent troops to sneak attack Zheng, the right-hand man of Jin. However, Zheng was prepared for it. Duke Mu of Qin After returning in vain, he traveled to Mount Xiao, where he was ambushed by the newly succeeded Duke Xiang of Jin, and completely annihilated Duke Mu of Qin's army. Qin and Jin became world enemies from then on."

"Qin Mugong acted too hastily, and the horses and wheels never came back. This also forced Qin Xiaogong to reform in order to preserve the country."

"I do think that this progressive tax system can be suspended for a moment or two. I am afraid that the world will be uneasy if I ask for it too hastily."

Wang Chonggu felt that he could wait and there was no need to be too anxious.

When Wu Guifang, the governor of water transport, came to Beijing to resign on his duties, he presented the emperor's five instructions for farming in the Wenhua Hall. The fourth of them was to summon the refugees to provide fields, and to those who were unable to cultivate, the officials would give them cattle seeds, and the following year they would return to the officials Sanmin.The original owner of the labor service was recognized and was not allowed to complain. Whether he was a tenant or a laborer, he became a civilian household after farming and was no longer a slave. The original owner was not allowed to tell the Yamen to fight for it. The Ming Dynasty's Emancipation Proclamation ultimately failed to come true.

The reason why we were not allowed to do it at that time was that we felt that doing it too hastily might lead to disaster.

If you drive too fast, someone will have to apply the brakes. Whether it's going up or down, going too fast is not a good thing.

"What Ci Fu said is extremely prudent and prudent." Zhu Yijun nodded to Wang Chonggu and affirmed that his speech was based on the consideration of the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty and was prudent and prudent. If Wang Chonggu's buttocks were crooked, these words would not be prudent. But he opposed the New Deal.

In fact, it was quite difficult for Wang Chonggu. He really hoped that when Zhang Juzheng took office, he would really run away, so that he would not have to face so many storms.

Fortunately, His Majesty was willing to protect him from the wind and rain.

"The progressive tax system is not too radical." Tan Lun said, but he did not agree with it very much: "With the progressive tax system, the Tax Inspection Institute cannot do things without any regulations. The tax inspection commander, Nanya Ti Commander Luo Bingliang said it is more or less How much, so there must be laws to follow. Previously, the old tax system was followed, and next spring the new tax system will be implemented. If you don't teach, you will punish them. If you teach and refuse to change, then it is not the fault of the court."

What Tan Lun said was to compromise and give a buffer period.

The new law will be implemented in the spring of next year. These six months are the buffer period given. If you do not know what is good or bad, do not respect the court's orders, and disobey the imperial edict, then the court's authority and punishment will be imposed. Can you say that the court has no benevolence?

Of course, the imperial court had no benevolence to speak of. After all, neither Zhang Juzheng nor Emperor Zhu Yijun recognized the word benevolence. The nine classics of the world, those who practice them, are true, not benevolent.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun, a little bastard, all blames Zhang Juzheng, an old bastard, for teaching him.

Your Majesty only recognizes the actual performance of his duties and does not recognize the benevolence and righteousness in his heart. Doesn't this mean he has no benevolence?
"Then let's make a compromise like this." Wang Chonggu thought for a while and stepped on the brake. As for the fact that he couldn't stop, he couldn't be blamed. He was not a driver. He had already fulfilled his obligation to remind him. If he got into trouble, he would go to Xishan to ask for help. The ancestor came out of the mountain.

The most important thing is to force the people to rebel. Civil unrest under the imperial system is a very common social movement. With Qi Jiguang at his side, it is easy to quell the civil unrest.

"It will definitely encourage leakage." Wang Guangguang also said with some worry.

Once the progressive tax system is implemented, bonded tax and tax evasion in the Ming Dynasty will become a long-term and fierce conflict. The court wants to pursue tax arrears, while the powerful rightists want to find ways to evade taxes. This long-term conflict will not matter to the Ministry of Household Affairs. I mean, it's a lot of pressure.

"What Da Situ said is wrong. What he said is as if the imperial court did not implement a progressive tax system and would not leak anything if it was powerful." Wan Shihe did not agree with Wang Guoguang's statement. The Ming Dynasty did not formulate tax laws, so they would steal and leak. , Ming Dynasty enacted tax laws, they still have to evade them, so why not enact them.

If you think overseas is good, then get out of here.

Wang Guoguang was slightly surprised, then smiled and shook his head and said, "What Dazai said makes sense."

"To steal in the Ming Dynasty, you risked beheading. The price is extremely expensive. It is a personal choice. If you dare to escape, you must be prepared to be traced by the court. If they dare to steal and leak, the court will dare to do so. If you dare to kill and copy, you will naturally be willing to accept it." Tan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of War, once again showed his radical side, killing him, killing him cleanly, killing him until the sky is clear and clear.

Many things cannot be solved without killing people, but when the guillotine hangs on the forehead, some things become simpler.

As the extremely radical Minister of War in the DPRK, Tan Lun resorted to force when he was undecided. This was a style formed by Tan Lun's long-term military administration. He believed that there was no issue in the world that could not be solved by beheading. If beheading could not be solved, then it would be Not enough kills.

There were only over 6 households in total when the powerful forces gathered together. Even if they were all killed, there would only be more than 400 million households.

Moreover, the practice of Ling Yunyi, who liked killing people, in Guangdong and Guangxi also proved that Tan Lun's statement was effective. After all, the wealthy gentry in Guangdong and Guangxi all missed Yin Zhengmao, the uncle of Surabaya.

Yin Zhengmao only needs money to tear down the door and move the bed, but Ling Yunyi will die!
In practice, it has also been proved that in the current Ming Dynasty, decapitation can indeed solve the problem.

As for the progressive tax system, it is still extremely extensive. It simply stipulates that for more than [-] acres of land, it is necessary to be powerful, and the land tax is increased to [-]%. For businessmen, the revenue is [-] silver coins, and the progressive tax system is [-]%. Pay or conceal reports, all waiting for the reminder from the tax inspectorate.

Obviously this is a one-size-fits-all decree. It is not that the imperial court does not have massive, professional and precise calculation methods. This kind of extensiveness is completely intentional and is basically trying to prey on the Jin gentry. The fundamental purpose of the progressive tax law at this time is not to collect taxes reasonably. It is completely It was a new policy aimed at clearing one's father and returning the land.

"This year's Beijing inspection, the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigated and punished 12 Beijing officials who were dismissed from their positions and will never be used again, 51 were dismissed, and 150 were fined with salaries ranging from three months to one year." Hai Rui, Chief Xian of the Metropolitan Procuratorate , took out a lengthy list, all of which were people who wanted to be dismissed. In order to facilitate the emperor's reference, the political spectrum of each name was colored to indicate his faction.

There are Zhejiang Party, Chu Party, Jin Party, every faction. Among them, these 12 people have been dismissed from their positions and will never use them. The biggest problem is corruption. Even after Hai Rui, the magic sword, started to fight against corruption, he still did not stop.

They were directly investigated by Hai Rui and these 51 people were dismissed. The main reason was that after three years of passing the law exam, the team was cleared out of the worms who had achieved nothing. The remaining fines were due to different reasons.

Wang Xijue committed suicide because of this Beijing inspection. Now the list of Beijing inspections appears in front of the emperor. The thick memorial is just a list. His Majesty wants to see whose case it is. The case file on the plate next to it is clear and clear.

The 12 people who were expelled include Zhao Yingyuan, the censor of the capital, Lu Wanzhong, Liu Guoguang, and Chen Yongbin, the censor of the capital. They occupied four seats in the yamen of the capital procuratorate alone, while the Hanlin Academy of Confucianism, the Ministry of Etiquette Zhang Cheng, the Ministry of Punishment Shen Xiao, Zhao Yongxian from the Ministry of Industry, Wang Tixiu from the Ministry of Hubu and others.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate had the largest number of dismissals. Other yamen could only have one or two dismissed, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate accounted for one-third.

And these four people were all investigated before Ge Shouli left. It was not that Hai Rui wanted to unite the party and eliminate dissenters after Ge Shouli left. It was because Ge Shouli took these four people away when he took up his official post.

Ge Shouli also made it very clear that if these four people continue to be in the court, they will only die. Because what these four people like to do most is to cheat, so before Ge Shouli took office, he had already started to interrogate these four people. .

"Ge Gong is righteous." Zhu Yijun closed the list. Zhu Yijun will not approve this list until he has read all the case files. Of course, Zhu Yijun can rest assured when Hai Rui handles the matter, but according to the agreement that all cases should be approved, Zhu Yijun has to report to Jingtang The appointment and dismissal of officials should be done with a clear understanding of the situation. "Feng Daban sent the eunuch and eunuch to give him a crane cloak, 100 taels of gold and silver, ten pieces of silverware, five bottles from the national cellar, and a chair for the imperial master. Wang Xijue copied the original copy and gave it to Ge Gong as a family heirloom. It shows the kindness of the court and the generosity of the honest ministers." Zhu Yijun explained to Feng Bao the reward given to Ge Shouli, the most valuable of which was the original copy.

Zhu Yijun is so interested in an old man who has become an official, so he naturally rewards those who do things.

This time during the Beijing inspection, the Metropolitan Procuratorate really turned the blade inwards. This was good news for the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate naturally knew the pain after being beaten and continued to be stubborn. It's so easy to get beaten.

Wang Xiyuan, the censor of Yunnan Province, reported Chen Ming's money law.

Wang Xiyuan, who was originally a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was a disciple of Zhang Juzheng. He was the same Wang Xiyuan who had submitted a petition to fill in the names on the draft list and the official list. Wang Xiyuan held a meeting with Zhang Han, the former Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in the capital hall, because of the mining of Yunnan copper. It was a big deal, so Zhang Juzheng sent his direct minion Wang Xiyuan there.

In addition to the report of Yunnan copper, Wang Xiyuan also mentioned a military matter, stating: Ten things to control the native barbarians.

Controlling the native barbarians is the Waisanxuanliuweisi.

The three Xuanxuan are Ganya Xuanfu Division (today’s Taiping River Basin in Yunnan), Longchuan Xuanfu Division (today’s Longchuan, Ruili, Zhefang, Myanmar and Korea), and Nandian Xuanfu Division (today’s surrounding Tengchong). The six consolations are: Mubang Xuanwei Department, Myanmar Xuanwei Department, Cheche Xuanwei Department, Babaidadian Xuanwei Department, Laos Xuanwei Department, Mengyang Xuanwei Department.

The Sanxuan and Liuwei were established by the Ming Dynasty during the Yongle period. In the Zhengtong period, as the four Luchuan campaigns were too costly and took too long, the Ming Dynasty gradually gave up the management of the Sanxuan and Liuwei. In the early years of Jiajing, Mubang , Meng Yang, and Meng Mi defeated the Burmese Xuanwei Division, and Mang Jisui, the king of Ava and the Burmese Xuanwei Division Xuanwei, was killed.

Mang Ruiti, the youngest son of Mang Ji-year-old, escaped by chance and ran to his grandfather's house. From then on, he began his journey of revenge.

In the 34th year of Jiajing, Manggruti established the Toungoo dynasty, and brought the six foreign affairs of Mubang, Mengyang, Mengmi, and Laos under his command. The most powerful dynasty in the history of Myanmar, the Toungoo dynasty became unprecedentedly prosperous. .

In the 34th year of Jiajing's reign, Mang Ruiti died of illness. His son Mang Yinglong succeeded to the throne, cut off tribute to the Ming Dynasty, and began to expand northward.

Starting from the fourth year of Wanli, with the cooperation of traitors, Mang Yinglong, who had annexed everything outside Yunnan, was not satisfied with his current territory and began to invade Shidian, Shunning, Yingjiang and other places in Yunnan many times, killing and plundering without success.

In the fifth year of Wanli, Yingjiang County even fell into the hands of Mang Yinglong. As the Duke of Guizhou dispatched troops and generals, Mang Yinglong retreated again.

Wang Xiyuan was in charge of the Yunnan Copper matter in Yunnan, and he summarized the news and presented it to the emperor, setting out ten matters to control the native barbarians.

"Barbarians have wolf-like faces and beast-like hearts. They are afraid of power but not moral!" Wan Shihe slapped the table and said angrily.

Mang Yinglong is the Mang clan of the Xuanwei Division of Burma in the Ming Dynasty. When the Ming Dynasty was strong, everyone was very good. When the Ming Dynasty was weak, cats and dogs jumped out to bite Ming Dynasty.

News from Yunnan is very lagging behind. The communication time from Yunnan to the Ming Dynasty is ninety days, which is three months, to convey what happened to the capital. Recently, this time is shortening, because official documents from Yunnan have begun to delivered by water.

"What did Mang Yinglong ask for?" Zhu Yijun noticed a key point in time. In the 34th year of Jiajing, after Mang Yinglong came to the throne, he severed the tributary relationship with the Ming Dynasty, launched a northern expedition, and then occupied all the Wailiu Xuanwei Division.

In the 34th year of Jiajing, the imperial court was not pretending to be deaf and dumb. It really did not have the strength. At that time, Japanese pirates in the southeast and Anda in the northwest were the Ming Dynasty's most intimate problems. They lacked the ability to intervene with force, so they could only let it go.

"The Ming Dynasty recognized the status of the Toungoo Dynasty as the suzerainty in Luchuan and required Siam and other places to pay tribute to Toungoo." Ma Ziqiang, the Minister of Rites, returned to this issue. Chen Xuexue, the Minister of Honglu Temple, also contacted Mang Yinglong's envoy. Their purpose It is very clear that the Ming Dynasty should recognize the dominance of the Toungoo Dynasty in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty.

This did great harm to the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

The courtiers fell silent, silently thinking about the various issues behind this.

As a visitor from later generations, Zhu Yijun clearly knew the context of historical development. In the 30th year of Wanli, the Sino-Burmese conflict lasted for 27 years. The Ming Dynasty compromised and recognized Burma, or the Toungoo dynasty's dominance in the southwest, and recognized the dominance since Yongle. Since then, the Jisi area of ​​nearly 40 square kilometers in Wailiu Xuanweisi has belonged to the Toungoo Dynasty.

The Shan State, Kokang State, and Wa State, which are areas in northern Myanmar that often appear in electronic fraud news in later generations, are the areas that the Ming Dynasty abandoned in the 34th year of Wanli.

The Wailiu Xuanweisi is not the territory of the Ming Dynasty. These territories that are subject to the political and military constraints of the Ming Dynasty naturally belong to the territory of the Ming Dynasty in the context of the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why the Wailiu Xuanwei Division was abandoned in the 30th year of Wanli's reign was also very simple, because the court had no money.

The three major conquests wiped out the legacy left by Zhang Juzheng, and public opinion for the civil and military power of the Zhongzhong Dynasty surged again. The victory of the war did not bring any profits to the Ming Dynasty. Under the actuarial wind, the Ming Dynasty finally compromised.

"Your Majesty, Wang Xiyuan said in his memorial that it is appropriate to temporarily appease Mang Yinglong. The mining of Yunnan copper is in full swing, the southwest post road is leveled and the waterway is dredged. For ten years, the cost of the soldiers in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty in the Luchuan campaign can be reduced by more than half. We can fight now Conquest will not be good for the Ming Dynasty." Lu Tiaoyang said the first of Wang Xiyuan's ten things to control the native barbarians despite the pressure of silence.

appease.

During the Zhengtong years, they conquered Luchuan four times and won every battle. However, when the Ming army arrived, it was safe, but when it left, it was reversed. At that time, Wang Ji led the Beijing camp three times with 15 people and a total of [-] troops. He conquered three times, but in the end there was no expedition. Get a result.

The hinterland of the Ming Dynasty is too far away from Luchuan. The cost of mobilizing troops is too great and the profit is very small.

Actuarial calculations are sometimes not completely unreasonable. Wang Ji easily earned millions of taels of food in three battles, while the chieftain of Luchuan waited for work, and the Ming Dynasty really suffered a loss of blood.

Mang Yinglong saw through this and sat on Daming's neck to shit.

The imperial court's appeasement was to summon envoys, stop the war, and allow the border people to recuperate. At the same time, they increased the purchase and sale of Myanmar's pearls, jade, and wood. Myanmar's teak is the best shipbuilding material.

"We can't fight now. The Ming Dynasty's New Deal has only lasted five years, and the imperial court has a slight financial surplus. At this time, the expedition to Luchuan is suspected of being militancy. I choose to swallow this grievance and this tone, and let Wang Xiyuan take care of him." Zhu Yijun looked at it. A group of court officials made a decision.

All the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty is wise." Lu Tiaoyang led the courtiers in shouting loudly.

Your Majesty's decision is the right one at the moment, so I can bear with it for the time being. After all, it is not the right time for the Ming Dynasty to go on an expedition. The main conflict is still with the northern captives. The problems must be solved one by one. If the step is too big, it is easy to get involved.

In fact, the courtiers were very worried that the Ming Emperor would not be able to bear this grievance and would directly send troops.

The young master is doubtful, this is where the doubt lies.

A 15-year-old boy, a 15-year-old king, grew up singing praises of virtues. Everyone around him told him that he was supreme, the most powerful in the world, with a body of ten thousand gold, as tall as a mountain and as firm as a mountain. The sun and moon shine brightly, but in the face of Myanmar's provocation, the Ming Emperor actually had to suffer this grievance, even humiliation, and made the Ming Dynasty act like a tortoise.

And the most important thing is that His Majesty has always been more radical than the Taifu Zhang Juzheng. The courtiers are all worried that the decisions made by the young emperor will make Ming Dynasty, which has just regained some strength, slip into the abyss again.

"After appeasing the feudal states, he took advantage of the feuding states, pouting in and out, and using restraints to repeatedly instigate internal strife." Lu Tiaoyang's tone had a sinister tone, which was not the temperament that Ming Gong should have at all. These four words were uttered in a high-sounding way.

The Ming Dynasty is now good at using internal contradictions to undermine the opponent. This method is actually not recognized by the Ming Dynasty, which is extremely demanding on morality. However, the Ming Dynasty said it directly, so Zhu Yijun was willing to Suffering this injustice, because being wronged does not mean that Ming did nothing.

The Queen of England, who was far away in the West, said she was an expert at Ming Dynasty's current tricks. She was so handy and proficient in it, and her proficiency had been fully improved through many practices.

There is no way, who makes the Ming court afraid of poverty? The court finally saved a little fortune, but is not willing to spend it, so it will use some despicable means to exchange for greater benefits at the minimum price. This is what the court officials of the Ming Dynasty are doing now. In practice, we summarized the effective methods.

The Ming Dynasty's policies towards Burma were different from those in the Japanese country. In the Japanese country, the Ming Dynasty's main focus was to provide all kinds of support to careerists, while in Myanmar, it was to take advantage of the conflicts between various tribes. These are two aspects. The main contradictions between countries are different, resulting in differences.

"Little Dongxu dares to make trouble on Ming Dynasty without even looking at who my tutor is." Zhu Yijun sneered, full of confidence.

In the sixth year of Zhang Juzheng's reign, the national funds totaled nearly 400 million taels of silver. The capital of Tongzhou in the Ming Dynasty had [-] treasuries and nearly [-] million shi of grain reserves. This was the confidence that Zhu Yijun dared to take over Burma.

If it was in the first year of Wanli, Emperor Longqing's imperial mausoleum still owed 50 yuan of 11 silver, and Jiubian was in serious payment arrears, Zhu Yijun could only choose to compromise.

Moreover, under the premise of making the country rich, Zhang Juzheng started a trend of amassing profits. This allowed the courtiers to get rid of the shackles of morality and became more shameless in their actions. For the Ming Dynasty, the shamelessness of the courtiers to the outside world was a sign of Inner kindness.

The price of some things is borne either outside the country or within the country.

The ten events reported by Wang Xiyuan are all related to the Toungoo Dynasty. They are mainly focused on border trade, procurement and sales, armaments, construction, etc., such as building a city wall, Tengchong City, and then building an outpost to the south. In terms of armament, it is based on foot troops. Food is the main thing.

In his memorial, Wang Xiyuan also routinely impeached the Duke of Guizhou for occupying land. This was a Nikkei issue. The censors who went to Yunnan always talked about this matter. Since the Yongle period, this has become a common practice. The Duke of Guizhou's government occupies 200 hectares, or [-] million acres of farmland, but the entire army in Yunnan relies on the Duke of Guizhou's government for food and grass supplies. In particular, the local yamen in Yunnan like to beg for food from the Duke of Guizhou's government.

This is a routine matter. Whether the court handles it or not will be reported to the censor.

"Nagasaki merchant Sun Keyi requested the imperial court to appoint a governor of Nagasaki." Lu Tiaoyang mentioned another issue. Sun Keyi reported to the imperial court to establish the Nagasaki Governor's Palace.

　In some cases, not decapitating means that you have no intention of being named or disposed of. Beheading will relieve a thousand worries.Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! !
