I'm really not doing business

Chapter 481: The enemy who was manipulated between the palms of his hands
Zhang Juzheng's new policy rectified academic affairs, from maritime schools to entrusting special training. What Zhu Yijun wanted was universal education so that every child could go to school. When he proposed it, Zhang Juzheng immediately vetoed it and could not do it. arrive.

Zhu Yijun mentioned the popularization of basic education, and Zhang Juzheng used Kaihai and Zhenwu to prevaricate the emperor. At that time, the navy was increased from 390 to . Universal basic education was more expensive than the expansion of the navy. (Chapter )
Commissioned special training requires the same training as maritime school and craftsman school. The court will pay half, and the students will pay half. If the student can go to Suiyuan for nine years and pass the exam for three years, the court will pay half. You don't have to pay back the money, and you can still receive a salary from the court.

This incident will break the monopoly of official positions and power by powerful right-wingers and rural gentry. The real act of digging up people's ancestral graves will provide another way for poor coolies to rise.

And the most important thing is to inject fresh blood into the stagnant water of the court.

This will inevitably arouse strong opposition from the powerful right-wingers, but which of Zhang Juzheng's content such as his father-in-law's education, examinations, academic affairs, etc., has not actually harmed the interests of these people?

Zhang Juzheng has long ago offended everyone he could offend, including the supreme emperor.

The court was still discussing with the ministers, and there were two things that put the courtiers in a dilemma, the engineering regiment camp and Zhang Juzheng's new academic administration.

There are three things that are being actively promoted, the expansion of Yanxing Tower, profits tax and the increase in production of Xishan Coal Bureau.

The Chi Road from Datong Prefecture to the capital of the Ming Dynasty has been built, and the 7.5-horsepower steam engine has been put on the road. Although there is not much cargo and the production capacity is limited, horse-drawn rail cars can also pull coal!

The coal mining incident of the Xishan Coal Bureau, instead of reducing production, has continued to increase production with the emergence of the Ministry of War Huitongguanyi's acceptance bill, which made Ke Dao Yan Guan furious.

Yang Bo and Gao Gong, the leaders of the Jin Party, wanted to remove the Supervisor of Ceremonies from the beginning, so another important link in supervision was missing.

Zhu Yijun envied this younger brother in real name. He was living a very happy life.

Hai Rui took out the original memorial and handed it to all the princes. They looked at it one by one and found that the memorial was written by Zhu. It contained 3,500 words and 17 articles in total. None of them was useful.

How can His Majesty's insults be called insults? That's called reprimanding.

Wang Chonggu suppressed his laughter and read out Zhu Pi's words: "I have already known the blunt words you wrote when I was young, just like a child who learns and memorizes the words. If you are a child, you are not a child at your age. The article came from the mouth of a court official. It's pitiful! Just what the memorial said shows how shallow your knowledge is. There are even three typos. I picked them out for you. In the next chapter, the procuratorate knew about it and secretly destroyed the memorial. To prevent others from laughing at you for being a vegetarian, you should study more articles or read newspapers."

The corals are made of red branches boiled with dye, the pearls and various gemstones are made of fired glass, and the gold and silver jewelry are all made of copper, lead and tin alloys. These things, even if they are not new ones, are all stock from the emperor's wedding.

Direct rebellion, why smuggling?
Wang Chonggu has rich experience as a traitor. How did the Jin Party take advantage of this loophole in the first place? Isn’t it a failure of supervision?

The three parties control each other, which is like a chaotic triangle. No one knows whether the other party has secretly formed an alliance, and no one knows whether the other party will step on his head to gain power. The triangle has stability because a chain of suspicion can be established.

But correspondingly, there were twelve beauties from all over the world, and all countries paid a lot of tribute to them.

He is what he is today, relying entirely on his own efforts and serious study.

It stands to reason that the silver ban should be more effective than the income tax, because the silver ban completely prohibits the circulation of gold and silver, and even prohibits the flow of gold and silver overseas. However, gold and silver still cannot stop flowing out every year, through various means. , making people hard to guard against.

A lot of the content in this memorial is similar to what His Majesty learned when he was ten years old. There are 3,500 words and 17 articles, each of which has nothing to say. Only Huaiyuan people have their own opinions. There is no mention of Qi Shuaihe in the long speech. In the capital camp, they still made insinuations, saying that the army's conquest was unkind and unrighteous, and would inevitably lead to massacres, violating the harmony of heaven and the like.

I have seen stingy people, but I have never seen such a stingy one. The legendary Pixiu who could only get in but not get out was eclipsed in front of His Majesty.

Wan Shihe couldn't help but think of the scene when he was reprimanded by the emperor. It was really hard to look back on the past, but His Majesty had never scolded him like that. He just called him a cheap scholar. At that time, Wan Shihe was indeed a cheap scholar. This Wan Shihe did not deny it at all, but he was braver than Wang Zhigao and stayed in the court.

Its purpose is self-evident.

"The ceremony of Prince Lu's wedding has been determined." Zhang Juzheng took out a memorial from the Ministry of Etiquette. The preparations for the much-anticipated wedding of Prince Lu have been completed, and it is still a wedding ceremony in the emperor's frugal style.

"I will obey His Majesty's holy orders!" Zhu Yili obeyed the orders with great interest. For the sake of a happy life in the rest of his life, he would not stop practicing martial arts.

For Ke Dao Yan Guan, Wang Chonggu had already gone far beyond the killing line and was already on par with Yan Song!
"This year's profits tax has brought in less than 300 taels of silver." Feng Bao talked about the difficulties in implementing the profits tax. He asked with confusion: "Your Majesty, why is this profits tax more effective than the silver ban?"

Real gold and silver are only ten taels of gold, fifty taels of silver, and ten taels of pearls.

"Because there were no coastal defense inspections on the sea before, one thing is completely prohibited = not prohibited at all." Zhu Yijun explained the logic. It is faster to solve the problem if you have a formula.

The atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty has been ruined by His Majesty, and everyone is happy.

Wang Daokun also asked curiously: "How did you reprimand him?"

There was no coastal defense inspection before, only the Yuegang City Shipping Department. As long as you bribed the clerks inspected by the City Shipping Department, you can flow out smoothly. Now you need to bribe the coastal defense inspection who detects smuggling, Yuegang City Shipping Department Pay Office and Yuegang City The shipping department inspected the minor officials. Practical experience in the Ming Dynasty told Zhu Yijun that those who could do this were those with hands and eyes.

Hai Rui took out a memorial, sighed and said: "Yesterday, His Majesty unleashed the wrath of thunder and ordered the Imperial Procuratorate to supervise the Censor Hong Siqi. Hong Siqi was so ashamed and angry that he submitted a memorial requesting to be appointed official."

If he were a shameless scholar, he would probably hang himself instead of becoming an official. It would be a shame to live.

Now that the profits tax has been introduced, the problem of precious metal outflow has been solved.

Zhang Juzheng brought his ministers to attend the ceremony, which happened once every ten years. People in the court came and went. His Majesty was at the peak of spring and autumn, and everything in the empire was prosperous. Only the two dark clouds at the beginning had covered half of the sky. One was that His Majesty was studying. This is a great read, but one thing is that His Majesty is not doing his job properly.

Feng Bao is a very qualified actor. There are some issues that he really doesn't understand. Some of them are hiding his clumsiness. Sometimes Zhu Yijun can't tell whether Feng Bao is pretending to be stupid in conjunction with the performance.

The point is, His Majesty is right...

The Ministry of Industry was just vague before, but now it has stepped up coal mining. It is really outrageous. It is simply riding on the face of the Ministry of Science and Technology. It is really intolerable!
But the officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology have no good way to deal with the Ministry of Industry, because there is Wang Cifu in the court who acts as a protective umbrella for the Ministry of Industry! Wang Chonggu's slanderous words have deceived His Majesty, and he has to engage in government-industrial alliances even at the expense of the sweet air.

"What happened?" Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, asked very curiously, why did Your Majesty give the order? How the instructions are given makes people directly take up their posts, and it is somewhat confusing to have no beginning or end.

"We must not let go of martial arts practice in the future." After Zhu Yijun finished approving the memorial, he still reminded Zhu Yixi that good health is very important. Play and make fun, don't break your body. You can only watch the good times and shed tears.

"Just do the rituals according to the memorial from the Ministry of Rites." Zhu Yijun picked up the treasure of Wanli and covered it with the memorial from the Ministry of Rites. Zhu Yijun was as happy as a child. He was a child to begin with and couldn't hide things in his heart.

The Ming Dynasty's coastal defense patrols have inspected more than a thousand places. According to recent reports, no one will carry yellow, silver, red copper, and silver coins to the sea on a large scale.

This is indeed an ugly scolding. Hong Siqi is thirty-four years old, and all the memorials are for children to recite for enlightenment. Secretly destroy them so that no one can see them. You are a joke. You have little knowledge and cannot understand other people's articles. You can read miscellaneous newspapers. Add some knowledge.

"The day before yesterday, Hong Siqi presented seventeen points on state affairs, totaling 3,500 words, quoting scriptures, and a lot of other things. His Majesty scolded him." Wang Guoguang was not so polite. He was not scolding but scolding.

The ministers looked at His Majesty the Emperor. His Majesty still kept those fakes and used them for a second time...

On March 12, the tenth year of Wanli, the sky was as blue as water, because there had just been a spring rain, which made the sky clean and translucent. The spring sky was like a sapphire, and everyone was breathing in the fresh air. Xishan Those big chimneys were spewing clouds of smoke, and it didn't take a day for the coal smoke to cover the entire capital. When Zhu Yijun went out, he wore a mask and walked to the Wenhua Palace to work.

At that time, the power of supervision was dominated by one family and was under the control of the Capital Procuratorate. Later, with the establishment of Zhenwu, the generals had the power, and memorials did not need to be detained by the Ministry of War for a few days before being presented. There were also admirals and ministers. Under the control of the three parties, David was declared Jun, Li Cheng and Liang Jiading immediately ran out of opportunities and had to either accept court supervision or die.

I dare not name names, or even say that there is a problem with the Beijing camp, so this memorial is really weird. The reason for not daring to name names is very simple. The general led 80,000 elites on an expedition, and really impeached them indiscriminately, which angered the general. The general Leading troops back to the capital, Qing Jun, who can withstand it?

How much money was confiscated in profits tax, but the circulation problem of Dabai Silver has been partially alleviated. This is good news. The throughput of the City Shipping Department has been further improved, and the ship tickets of Yanxinglou Trading House have increased by five cents of silver.

"If you want to become an official, then you should become an official." Zhang Juzheng wrote the memorial, handed the memorial to Feng Bao, and sent it to the emperor.

Zhu Yijun allowed him to become an official, and he became an official after being scolded for a few times. Even after being scolded so many times, he was still as stubborn as a weed and thrived. He had no ability to withstand pressure, so what kind of official could he be? Go home and sell sweet potatoes.

Zhu Yijun handed the memorial to Feng Bao and said: "It is a good thing to promote literature, advocate the rule of literature, devote ourselves to education, and establish learning to promote literature. Why should we use military force to promote literature? When we promote literature, why can't we promote martial arts? During the Yongle period , that is, the Northern Expedition to the Tatars, and the establishment of the Yongle Grand Ceremony. Talking about civil and military opposition is a kind of confusion in itself. I only saw with my own eyes that Tan Lun, Yin Zhengmao, Liang Menglong, Zeng Shengwu and other ministers were all on horseback. Wu will bring peace to the world, and martial arts will lead to peace."

"Xingwen and Wu will no longer need to be used together in the future."

"I will obey the Holy Instructions." Zhang Juzheng led his ministers to obey the orders of the leader. Civilization and military affairs are not contradictory. Civilization and military affairs never have to be contradictory, nor do they rise and fall one after another. However, the scholar-bureaucrats always deliberately create this kind of opposition.

Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, took out a memorial and said: "The Shah's envoy heard this year, can the court sell some carved Arabic books, carved wooden knives, ink, paper and other items to the Mughal Kingdom? Money is easy to say, the more the better, the more The more the better.”

"Didn't it mean that the Mughal Kingdom and the Ottomans prohibited the printing of all kinds of scriptures and only required copies?" Zhu Yijun was stunned. This request from the Shah envoy was not in line with Ming Dynasty's understanding of them.

Because of the sacredness of the scriptures, they must be copied sincerely to reflect the firmness of the faith. For this reason, Emperor Akbar and the Ottoman Sultan repeatedly issued bans to prohibit the spread of printing technology. This is a very widespread method in Europe and the West. statement.

The special envoy from Taixi and the reply letter from the Ming Dynasty’s special envoy to Taixi all said this. Literary prison? It requires writing. In a world with only manuscripts, the price of knowledge will be infinitely expensive, and it can only become an exclusive privilege for nobles.

At that time, Zhu Yijun also said that the literary prison of the Qing Dynasty could not even be cured of the symptoms. In the Arab world, the root cause was directly addressed. In Korea and Japan, Chinese characters served as class barriers. In the Arab world, even knowledge was not circulated.

Because the imperial court was lagging behind in dealing with problems due to the inevitable rigidity of the system, the Literary Prison of the Qing Dynasty was only set off after it had already caused bad consequences. The impact had already been caused, and anti-traitor rhetoric had been spread everywhere. Literary prisons treat the symptoms but not the root cause, while the Arab world directly prohibits the spread of knowledge.

"Your Majesty, this is a rumor deliberately created by the Taixi people. In fact, the Ottoman Kingdom and the Mughal Kingdom did not have the conditions for engraving." Wan Shihe explained the details in detail. There is no requirement for printing in the scriptures, and The Ottoman sultans and Mughal kings never gave such orders.

Wan Shihe presented three pieces of evidence.

In the second year of Wanli, when the Ottoman Sultan Murad III came to power, he had an engraving-printed edict. The content of the edict was to tell everyone to change the king. The content was not outstanding, but it was engraving; the other was in Arabic. "Euclid's Calculation of Pi"; there is also an edict protecting the rights of Thai and Spanish merchants to sell "precious printed books and pamphlets in Arabic". This edict is very long and has been carefully translated by the consulate.

These three pieces of evidence were presented directly to His Majesty and translated.

"Currently, people's desire for knowledge is the same, regardless of region. Even the content of this Arabic "Euclidean" is simple, full of typos and errors, and the letters and lines are not clear enough. Any of our Ming Dynasty When a scholar sees a book of this quality, he doesn’t think it has any meaning, but books are still a hot commodity and are extremely expensive.” Wan Shihe explained the current plight of the Mughal Kingdom.

At this time, Wan Shihe also admitted that the liberal school improved by Lin Fucheng had something to it. The Arab world lacked material conditions and did not have the vertical and horizontal scale of printing. In fact, there was still a small amount of printing in the palace. Circulation, but the quality is too poor, that's why the manuscript became popular.

Movable type printing is not that powerful, because in order to print with movable type, the type selector, singer, and engraver must all be literate, otherwise errors and omissions will occur. In this era, people who can read and digitize are high-level talents. , printing is a chore.

"So what the Shah envoy means is to ask Ming Dynasty to help with printing? It seems that there are only two people in the Ming Dynasty Consulate who can understand Arabic." Zhu Yijun thought he could approve it, but it was difficult for Ming Dynasty to do it.

"Your Majesty, in fact, our Ming Dynasty still has people who are proficient in this." Wan Shihe bowed his head and said.

The Quanzhou Pu family, descendants of Arabs, even affected the fate of the Song and Yuan dynasties. The Song Dynasty was not kind to the people, but it was not kind to the Arabs like the Quanzhou Pu family. Later, the Quanzhou Pu family took away all the Zhao family members who had fled to Quanzhou. He was betrayed to Kublai Khan in exchange for an official position. After the Ming Dynasty was established, Zhu Yuanzhang prohibited the Quanzhou Pu family from participating in the imperial examination. The Quanzhou Pu family often changed their surnames to Zhao and Wu.

When Wan Shihe talked about these, he mainly talked about the vertical scale. The Southern Song Dynasty had already communicated with the Arab world, and also talked about the horizontal scale. The merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty also had to do business with the cannibals.

"That's right." Zhu Yijun really does all kinds of business. Book printing is a lucrative business. It's profitable, not shabby.

Wan Shihe didn't mention this matter suddenly, it was mainly for the sake of the next matter to be discussed.

"Guang Jian Social Studies." Zhang Juzheng took out a memorial and looked a little hesitant. Ming Dynasty did not have the capital to carry out universal basic education. Zhang Juzheng really wanted to do it, but he couldn't do it. This is a compromise and appeasement approach, but it is hard to say what kind of disturbance this new academic policy approach will cause when it is rolled out.

"How about waiting for Qi Shuai's triumphant return?" Zhang Juzheng held the memorial and did not open it, but prepared to take it back. This was path dependent. He had waited many times before. Without ballast, Zhang Juzheng panicked.

Profits tax and farmland restoration, these two things have already stimulated the right to act boldly, although the farmland restoration is done secretly.

"I don't think there is a need to wait." Wang Chonggu said: "How big of a deal is it to dispatch the capital camp? According to the water schedule, the navy will only be able to return to the town for a hundred days. The powerful and powerful people are also human beings, and they are also afraid of death. They will be scattered. , what’s there to be afraid of?”

The navy of the Ming Dynasty was on an armed patrol of the Japanese country, and the capital camp of the Ming Dynasty was conquering Hetao. It seemed that the Ming Dynasty had no ballast stones and the implementation of the decree needed to be postponed. However, Wang Chonggu looked at it from the perspective of being powerful and right-wing, and did not think this was a big deal.

"Although they did not join hands, there is a general consensus." Zhang Juzheng shook his head and prepared to take the memorial back. It was better to wait for Qi Jiguang's return.

"It's better to take root in the engineering regiment camp first." Wang Chonggu proposed a compromise method. It needs to be piloted after all. Then try it on the engineering regiment camp. The labor intensity of the engineering regiment camp is extremely high. In this environment, , there is still something to be learned from reading, and that is the talent that can be made. We can select out the bad students on a large scale and cultivate talents.

Filtering out the scum cannot filter out the scum, but the fulfillment of the training contract can filter out the scum.

Zhang Juzheng stopped taking back the memorial. He hesitated, then took it back, and said with a sad look on his face: "Let's forget it."

Wang Chonggu thought about it and said: "Let's try it in the engineering camp first, and then extend it to the government, factory, and regiments. In this way, it can be regarded as Xu Xing's plan, not too hasty. "

"It's still too difficult." Zhang Juzheng said with a troubled face.

Wang Chonggu thought for a moment and said, "What's so difficult about this? Show it to me."

Zhang Juzheng handed the memorial to Wang Chonggu. Wang Chonggu looked at it for a long time and said with certainty: "What's the difficulty in this matter? Try it in the engineering regiment camp first. Anyway, you can copy it from the experience of the elite military training school in the Beijing camp."

Wang Chonggu didn't think there was anything deviant in Zhang Juzheng's memorial, and it was not difficult to implement. About 30% of the Jinshi in the court were from military families, and the remaining 70% were civilians. There seemed to be too many unscrupulous Confucians in the court, and the Engineer Corps The camp is also a military household.

The funds are sufficient, 200,000 silver, enough to select 3,000 students from the 70,000-strong engineer regiment. As long as the pilot is successful, it can be spread out bit by bit.

"Try it?" Zhang Juzheng still had doubts, but still wanted to give it a try.

Wang Chonggu and Zhang Juzheng communicated on the details, such as preschool selection, admission, training time, training contract, etc., especially on the penalty for breach of contract. Wang Chonggu and Zhang Juzheng had some different opinions. Wang Chonggu believed that there should be a fine of five hundred for one day and six for six. A monk with ten silver coins will be fined thirty thousand silver coins. If he can't afford the compensation, he will be directly exiled.

Zhang Juzheng's opinion is traditional punishments such as erasure of fame, never use of merit, and no favors for three generations.

The fine is simple and straightforward, and the debt will have to be repaid for the rest of your life.

Wang Chonggu's opinion made the courtiers frown. Wang Chonggu was a bit too shady.

In addition to Suiyuan, the scope of the commissioned academic administration also includes overseas governor's offices such as Luzon, Jiugang, Nagasaki, and Ryukyu. These contracts are realized through the Maritime School, which can be regarded as a dual-regulation pilot.

Zhu Yijun looked serious on the stage, while Zhu Yili tilted his head and said in a very small voice: "Brother, it seems that the scapegoat has been fooled by Mr. again. Mr. is not hesitating. He is clearly setting a trap for Wang Chonggu again. Brother, Am I right?"

"You are so smart, why are you obsessed with beauties from all over the world?" Of course Zhu Yijun understood that Wang Chonggu was defeated by his strange desire to win. Wang Chonggu wanted to prove himself too much, and wanted the engineering corps battalion to be realized so much that he Yu subconsciously ignored Zhang Juzheng's tricks.

"You really didn't see that it was a trick?" Zhu Yiliu chose to change the topic. Zhu Yiliu also learned many of the tricks of cheap scholars.

Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said: "Even if it is a trap, Wang Cifu now has to dive in head first. No, what nickname do you give people? Wang Cifu is Cifu, what nonsense are you talking about."

Zhu Yiliu said in a low voice: "The courtiers all said that he couldn't defeat Mr., and was taken advantage of by Mr. Tian Shu."

At first, Wang Chonggu was indeed fooled by Zhang Juzheng. He was obviously opposed to the return of the land, but in the end he took the lead and charged forward. The courtiers all knew that private discussions were normal.

Yang Bo was very accurate in judging people. Wang Chonggu was really irritable, which meant that he was easily influenced by his emotions. In fact, he was not very afraid of the traitor and traitor. They knew all the tricks of the traitor and traitor. Who was not a traitor and traitor?

So even if Wang Chonggu doesn't realize that he was deceived now, he should figure it out later when the stamp is written and sealed.

Sure enough, as soon as the floating ticket was written, Wang Chonggu's expression changed. The corners of his mouth twitched and his expression became helpless.

I get fooled every day, one after another, and the tricks are different.

Wang Chonggu knew very well that he had fallen into Zhang Juzheng's trick of showing weakness this time. He suddenly understood one thing. After he read the book "Please Equalize the Fields", Zhang Juzheng would not be able to let him go.

Yes, at that moment, he had already completed his turn in the historical changes. From that moment on, Zhang Juzheng would not let him go no matter what. He had accepted the certificate of surrender for the pirate ship, and even if he wanted to get off the ship, there was no way.

Wang Chonggu sighed and could only say that he could not break free and could only enjoy it.

"As for the appeasement of nepotism in the official factory, I have drawn up a regulation. His Majesty Zhu Pi said that it is feasible. This is one of the laws of the official factory. In the future, the official factory selection committee, agents and other officials will need to go through the official examination. Generally speaking, only One principle is that every time you enter, you must take the exam, you must be strict when you are in the exam, and you must be careful when you are in prison." Wang Chonggu came up with specific regulations on the problems discovered during his inspection of the Yongding Woolen Factory a few days ago.

To enter, you must take an exam. The content of the exam is different from the official selection exam. The management positions of agency and association are tested for professional skills. They also require three to five years of practical experience. A layman can command an expert. After a few years, the wall will fall. The house collapsed and the government and factory gangs tried to make a law, but Wang Chonggu had the capital to turn around, so he was naturally cautious.

And every exam must be strict, that is, the selection process must be strict. While the questions are strict, the Ministry of Industry must be informed. For selection at the General Office level, His Majesty's decision must be reported. This is almost equivalent to I tried the Jinshi Hall test, but the only problem was that it caused trouble for His Majesty.

You must be careful when you are in supervision. The examination method created by the government, factory and group must be strictly implemented. The same straw list as the examination method is used to fill in the name and the name is filled in the book to conduct the examination. This supervision also needs to visit the craftsmen and finally get the results. And there are three accounts, one for the official factory, one for the industry department, and one for the official department. The examination is mainly for officials.

"It is better to kill a chicken with a bull's knife, and to govern a small country, you should also use rituals and music." Wang Chonggu's actions seem to be a bit too strong. The big stick for passing the law is to hit the officials. Only the general office has officials. body, the rest must be regarded as officials.

However, Wang Chonggu went to war this time to protect the fledgling government-industrial complex in creating laws. This was an extremely important force in the Ming Dynasty's New Deal and a constant source of power for the Ming Dynasty's reforms, which could not be lost.
