I'm really not doing business

Chapter 495: Borrowing the Engineer Corps Camp Method

It is definitely not accidental that the recruitment system became a solution to the problem during the fierce war in the middle and late Jiajing period. In fact, the combat power of the guest soldiers is still the current top level, but the Ming Dynasty Beijing Camp has entered a new era. dimensions.

The Ming Dynasty's military recruitment system and the Beijing camp recruitment system will coexist for a long time, because in some places, ferocious people like guest soldiers are needed to be evil people, and evil people can only be punished by evil people.

The military discipline of the guest soldiers is completely guaranteed by the adequacy of military pay, and the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp is further guaranteed by military discipline. The shaping of reporting to the emperor and rescuing the head of Guizhou is the shaping of the military soul, and this shaping was made by Qi Jiguang and Zhu Yijun Done together.

The sharp soldiers in the Ming Dynasty's capital camp could not only see the emperor every day, but also see the suffering of the people.

Although the guest soldiers led by Ling Yunyi were defeated, it was still an honor to defeat them. It was a blessing to be able to fight to such an extent against the Beijing camp.

But on the battlefield, the battle loss ratio is definitely not like this, because the firearms that Ming Jingying is best at cannot be used to their extremes during training.

Zeng Shengwu didn't push his nose and face, and Ling Yunyi didn't keep talking about it. They were both honest men, and they all saved some face for each other, and everyone had dignity.

Zeng Shengwu really laughed at Ling Yunyi, and Ling Yunyi could immediately retort, "What does the strength of the Beijing camp have to do with you, the newly appointed Minister of War?" The former Grand Sima Tan Lun was also one of the shapers of the military soul.

So, everyone is decent.

He has become one of the core members of the New Deal. He does not need to rely on external forces and can suppress the chatter of the humble Confucians.

Since the virtuous rural gentry in Henan refused to let the court clear their father-in-law, it would be easier to deal with it. If the father-in-law is not cleared, they can directly return the land.

Of course, he had to be polite when asking for help. Zhu Yijun made a lot of calculations and realized that he really could only ask Ling Yunyi to take action on the Henan issue.

"What else can Henan do besides farming?" Zhu Yijun couldn't think of what else the Engineer Corps and Camps could do besides farming. The output of the land is limited. Without pillar industries, the Engineer Corps and Camps would deteriorate as fast as the original military camps. Like the guards, they declined rapidly.

"There is an official iron-smelting factory from the Han Dynasty outside the west wall of the ancient city of Xingyang in Kaifeng Prefecture?" Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment after reading the beginning of the memorial.

Without policies, Ling Yunyi is also a clever woman who cannot make a meal without rice.

"Steel is made to make iron." Ling Yunyi said with certainty: "Your Majesty, this is a memorial written by me."

Although Ling Yunyi is the Grand Sima, he is a foreign official who is going to be the governor of Henan, so it will be more convenient for him to do things. Before moving to the capital to discuss the affairs, he was in the capital, and these officials You also know to be restrained. Sometimes, killing someone is an effective deterrent.

"The Qingzhang on the ground in Henan has been unable to advance for a long time. This time we asked Lingbutang to go to Henan. Henan is a big trouble. We rely on Lingbutang." Zhu Yijun talked about Qingzhang in Henan.

"There are no vassals in Henan, so the second problem is that the cadastre is unclear. For example, the cadastre does not contain the registration records." Ling Yunyi talked about the second most important thing. The problem of clearing the abbot of Henan is not only Because of the vassalage, cadastral records, and the Qingzhang of the Hongwu period, the old policies have long been lost.

Without moving the mountain of Zongfan from the ground in Henan, Ling Yunyi arrived in Henan. He had no way to deal with these clansmen. He was a minister and had no right to deal with the clansmen. As long as the local gentry and gentry took charge of the clan. With the banner of the vassal domain, Ling Yunyi is also a weapon that can be used against rats. He can't really kill his clan members for the sake of his father-in-law.

Yan Guan knew very well that if the emperor dared to go to Fuque, he would kill someone.

Even if the Beijing camp does not return to the capital, 20,000 elite soldiers are enough. With only 3,000 such elite soldiers, Li Chengliang can dominate a party and do whatever he wants.

There is no old Hongwu case in Henan, which means there is no fish scale book.

If there is a local minister who bullies the clan, he does it secretly. On the surface, he is a clan relative, so he has to kneel down and speak.

Any place where the cadastre is unclear will be confiscated and allocated to the engineering corps camp for use.

It’s really heartbreaking that the heart of the land is so dilapidated!
Since Ling Yunyi wants to invite the engineering regiment, he must let the engineering regiment have something to do. His memorial begins with the salt and iron franchise in the Han Dynasty and the establishment of iron officials in Henan by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"It's okay. Ling Butang can take up his post with peace of mind." Zhu Yijun's smile was filled with confidence. He was no longer the master of the young country. The young man is full of energy and hard work.

Tian Wenjing was able to solve this century-old problem in Henan because Emperor Yongzheng gave him enough support. Otherwise, Tian Wenjing could not do anything. However, Tian Wenjing wanted to take life and death, while Ling Yunyi wanted to create a law through the government and factory groups.

This essentially formed a tax farming system. The imperial court asked how much taxes Henan would need to pay on land. Henan would subcontract to various governments, and each government would subcontract to various states and counties. The states and counties would then subcontract to rural gentry and gentry. This was a complete tax farming system. It made the Qingzhang of Henan very difficult.

The last time he returned to Beijing to report on his work, he took Yao Guangqi away.

Ling Yunyi is not talking big words in front of the emperor. He has people, 1,500 guest soldiers. He also transferred to Nagasaki to support 1,500 guest soldiers before. 3,000 guest soldiers are completely enough. This kind of cadastral Even the imperial court couldn't figure out where the refugees were most. The engineering regiment camp method was the most effective method and could eradicate stubborn diseases.

"I obey the order." Ling Yunyi thought for a while, looked at the military appearance of the elite soldiers in the Beijing camp, and felt that His Majesty had such confidence based on his strength.

This is the solution given by Ling Yunyi. If you use the engineering regiment's camp method, won't you deny it to Qingzhang? Don’t you want the court to know how much land there is in Henan? That would be unreasonable. Using the engineering regiment camp method is equivalent to directly abolishing the messy cadastre, replacing it with new ones, and directly redistributing the means of production.

Twice in a row, Yan officials were reprimanded for leaving the capital to guard the border. The Yan officials were not even willing to come to Fu Que. They were not as bold as the Yan officials during the Jiajing period.

"Yes." Zhu Yijun did not hesitate and chose to agree. Since Ling Yunyi was asked to go to Henan to solve the problem, he could not withhold any policy.

Zhu Yijun has grown up, and he can loudly say to everyone: I am strong! The world has changed!

"The transfer to the vassal will not be so smooth." Ling Yunyi asserted, he bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to stay in the capital for three months until Commander Qi returns to the capital in triumph."

There was not much content in the promotion of martial arts in Master Dao's new policy, so Yan Guan dared to jump outside. For this day, Zhu Yijun started practicing martial arts at the age of ten, and paraded military horses every day.

It was impossible for Ling Yunyi to just confront His Majesty without making any preparations. After conducting extensive research on the ground in Henan, he felt that this place had a lot to offer!

"Solve it all at once?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.

"There are many vassals in Henan and they are widespread. The cunning people use the name of the vassals to send secret messages. If the vassals are not removed from the ground in Henan, it will be useless if I leave."

Xitucheng introduced Yao Guangqi to compete with the Jin Party, which caused some trouble. Beijing officials have their own rules, and foreign officials also have their conveniences. They are probably a kind of foreign monks who like to chant sutras.

Then Ling Yunyi would be immediately attacked by a group of people, and would end up being beheaded in public.

Clearing the land also requires a thread to clear the land. The Ming Dynasty did not know anything about the land. Previously, the two capitals and thirteen provinces could use the old records to clarify the cadastre and rebuild the fish scale book.

"The husband can be cleared without old cases." Ling Yunyi said with a solemn expression: "The third problem is the resistance of the rural gentry and the gentry. Without registration and the rural gentry, these two problems can be solved at once!"

The presence of the notorious Ling Yunyi in the capital can reduce the noise in His Majesty's ears.

"I can't find it." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "I have asked for this from Henan Department of Finance before, but the Ministry of Household Affairs in Beijing and Beijing have not kept it on file."

"Yes, I want to use Wang Cifu's engineering regiment camp method. The cadastral is not clear, so I just copied it without allocating it. Isn't it unclear? Then I won't say it." When Ling Yunyi said this, he said it with a smile. A chilling air.

Ling Yunyi sat upright, but said in a rather relaxed tone: "Your Majesty, in fact, the Henan Qingzhang matter is quite troublesome, but your Majesty intends to get rid of the biggest trouble, so it won't be troublesome."

Otherwise, we can only invite Luzon Governor Yin Zhengmao back.

Zeng Shengwu said very accurately: "There is such a government factory."

It is not uncommon to find the remains of an official iron-making factory. What is strange is that this official factory covers a total of 180 acres, about one mile from east to west, north to south, and contains 17 blast furnaces, wells, pools, craftsmen's living quarters, and mining soil. There is even a small school in the heap. These seventeen blast furnaces produce gray iron, white iron, hemp iron, ductile iron, and most importantly, decarbonized cast iron and steel.

It is mass produced steel.

One blast furnace can produce more than 2000 kilograms of iron per day, and blast furnaces can produce up to kilograms of iron per day.

Scale promotes technological maturity and progress, and technological progress can expand production. If the development time is slightly longer, industrial clusters will be formed to drive industrial development. Industrial development requires the training of a large number of craftsmen, forming a cycle of large blast furnaces, coking, and craftsmen. Living and studying will leave a lot of traces. The final product is the woolen official factory, shipbuilding official factory, and Xishan coal and steel official factory that Zhu Yijun saw.

Zhu Yijun thought this method was a new method, but now the Ming Dynasty officials told Zhu Yijun that your method is not new at all, it was used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty! An old method from 1,700 years ago!

"Wang Ci Fu once sent a great craftsman to investigate, which was a way to review the past and learn new things." Zeng Shengwu added some details about the development of the Xishan Coal Bureau.

This is an archaeological scientific research. After Wang Chonggu destroyed all the kilns in Xishan, he began large-scale production. With the increase in coal mining, ironmaking became inevitable. However, the Ming Dynasty had destroyed all official factories as early as the Hongwu period, and there was no Based on experience and checking old cases, the largest official iron-making factory during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty was in Xingyang, Henan.

You wouldn’t know it until you go there, but you will be surprised when you go there. One blast furnace can produce 2000 kilograms of iron per day. It is cast iron and decarbonized steel. This is the technique used in the Ming Dynasty Iron Hunjia.

Archaeological scientific research is naturally the glory of our ancestors, but it is somewhat shameful that after 1,700 years, it is not as good as it was in the past.

Zeng Shengwu thought for a while and said: "A total of seventeen pieces of iron were dug out from the old factory of the Han Dynasty. The largest piece weighed forty-six thousand kilograms. Apparently, it was the ground anchor of the cable bridge. In the Han Dynasty, there were The ability to forge a 46,000-pound iron bull anchor."

Sun Wukong's Ruyi golden cudgel weighs thirteen thousand five hundred kilograms. It is the imagination of the literati that can weigh the weight of the sea.

The ground anchor of the iron cable bridge in the Han Dynasty 1,700 years ago weighed 46,000 kilograms.

This intersection of time and space caused Wang Chonggu and Zeng Shengwu to have a complex emotion. The contradiction is right, everything in the world is changing, but what makes people sad is that it has changed for the worse!

Ling Yunyi leaned forward and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had a total of forty-nine iron officials. There are only a few historical records. They only record where they were sent and no more details. The old Han Dynasty found in Linzi, Shandong The scale of the official factory is five times that of the Xingyang official factory. A total of six Guhan official factories have been found in Nanyang Prefecture, Henan, and the scale of each place is comparable to the scale of the Xingyang official factory.”

"The most important thing is that after the Western Han Dynasty conquered the Western Regions, they sent iron officials to set up factories in Dawan, Qiuci, and Khotan. Now, we can't even do on-site exploration." Ling Yunyi said fiercely to Zhu Yijun. A big scar dug out of my heart!

Your emperor, relying on his civility and military skills, has worked hard and done a good job. Everyone admits this, but it is by no means the time to be proud and complacent. Judging from the current situation, there is still a long way to go!
We learned from history books that there were ancient Han official factories in Dayuan, Qiuci, and Khotan in the Western Regions. We couldn't even dig them up. They were the territory of the Hu people!
Not to mention, during the Yongle period, the Ming Dynasty also had a shipbuilding factory in Xuanwei Division, Jiugang. The Strait of Malacca is still a war zone, although only the city of Malacca has not been captured.

Ling Yunyi is a radical among radicals and advocates using the most drastic means to solve problems, so he wrote this memorial to question the court's overly cautious attitude towards the engineering regiment.

What a big deal!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty engaged in military warfare all his life and exhausted the world. He never regretted it even when he was old. Scholars must say that the Luntai Edict was a self-incriminating edict. It was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who changed his mind. Shit!

There was not a single sentence in Luntai's edict to blame oneself, nor was there a single sentence saying that I was wrong. Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, who had struggled all his life, never regretted it for a single minute.

Of course, Ling Yunyi also knows that radicals like him will only destroy themselves in the process of radicalization. The result of completely obeying the radicals is probably to act boldly and disperse early. But Ling Yunyi saw people giving funerals to dogs. He couldn't suppress the restlessness and anger in his heart when he heard the huge news, so he knew that he was not suitable to be a Ming Gong, but a sharp knife.

He wanted to see if he was tough with his words or with his sword!
As a radical, Ling Yunyi chose to obey His Majesty's orders. After all, His Majesty was more radical than Zhang Juzheng, but he could still be considered a conservative camp.

As long as you are radical enough, everyone will be a conservative.

When His Majesty said he could do it, Ling Yunyi was extremely excited. After two years of dormancy, he could show off his talents again.

The virtuous rural gentry of Henan will not change their surnames or names. Ling Yunyi is here!
"Then it's all up to Lingbu Tang. If you can't catch it, you can use the secret box to send it directly to the emperor." Zhu Yijun talked about the secret system. It's not shameful to ask for reinforcements if you can't defeat him. In the year of Zhang Juzheng and Ding You, Zhu Yijun went to Xishan to ask for help if he had nothing to do. The ancestor of Xishan.

It’s not shameful to ask for help, it’s shameful not to be able to get things done.

"I obey the order." Ling Yunyi bowed his head again and accepted the imperial order. He will stay in the capital for half a month to cultivate relations with the Ming Gongs. By the way, he will discuss with Wang Chonggu the issue of the engineering regiment camp. This thing , Wang Chonggu is best at it.

After Ling Yunyi returned to the capital, he brought his guest soldiers into contact with the Ming Dynasty's capital camp. Although the elite soldiers fought with their own hands and feet, the final result was still shocking. Ling Yunyi's guest soldiers were defeated. .

The capital immediately became quiet, and even the newspapers began to discuss Ling Yunyi's bravery in quelling the Yao rebellion in Luopang. When Ling Yunyi was not in the capital, the newspapers wanted to portray Ling Yunyi as a murderer without blinking an eye. A terrifying existence whose name would make children stop crying. In the capital, Ling Yunyi suddenly became a loyal and loyal gentleman to the country.

If he offends the murderous Ling Yunyi, and he really breaks into the Yamen and chops people down, and His Majesty wants to use him again, he probably can only hold him up high and put him down gently.

Ling Yunyi felt that the officials in the capital, the powerful and powerful people, and the wealthy households had some misunderstandings about him.

He did kill people, but his killings were not unfounded. Everything was in line with the laws of the Ming Dynasty. He was a person with a very bottom line. He never killed people indiscriminately, and he was not easy to kill. It was because the conflicts had intensified to a certain extent that he had to Kill to solve.

Of course, the scholar-bureaucrats will not listen to Ling Yunyi's explanation. Even Yan Shenggong of Confucius Mansion in Yanzhou was killed by you. If you say that you have principles and bottom lines, no one will believe it.

Legas lived a very comfortable life. He contributed articles to the People's Daily about the customs and customs of Thailand and Spain, which earned him a lot of writing fees. His life was extremely comfortable. Translating Thai and Spanish books also earned him many rewards. As for returning to Taixi, he has already broken his vow of not marrying and really can't go back.

Legas was about to go to the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to take a class. As soon as he left the house, he was held down by Tiqi!

Ligas went through it quickly in his mind and became more courageous when he was sure that he had not violated the Ming Law.

He must have been arrested because he leaked the secret of His Majesty the Emperor's stinginess. Although this secret was known to everyone and was an open secret, it was strange that Tiqi didn't react when Li Yashi wrote it in the newspaper.

Liberal leader Lin Fucheng is the standard-bearer for openly challenging autocracy?
He is the one in Legaz!

Li Yazhi stayed in the sky jail for a day and was soon released. This was the second time he was arrested. He was familiar with the world and was not punished by the five poisons. He came out with his beard and tail hanging up. If you work a day, you can get a salary without having to work!

Legas was taken to the royal study of Tonghe Palace. After His Majesty finished the memorial in his hand, Legas walked in. As soon as he entered the door, he kowtowed five times and kowtowed three times, crying and shouting: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged." !”

"Tiqi captured me in prison without any discrimination. This day, I was like a bereaved dog. I was in panic all day long. I was extremely frightened. I beg your majesty to forgive you for your hard work in translating Thai and Western books over the years. Minister one or two."

"Okay, you have learned all the skills of a lowly scholar, and you are still complaining. Are you wronged? This is not the first time. You publicly said in your travel notes that I was greedy and stingy, so I didn't send you to the Jiecuyuan. Then what? I am forgiving and have no intention of repenting at all, so why do you have the nerve to cry?" Zhu Yijun said impatiently.

The way Legas begged for mercy was carved in the same mold as those cheap Confucians.

When the minister said that he deserved to die for his crime, it proved that the minister did not think that he was wrong at all.

"What I'm saying is that Your Majesty is still frugal, and there's no point in criticizing Sophora japonica." Li Yashi said obediently.

Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said, "Get up. Next time you scold me in the newspapers, I will impose castration and make you worry while watching those two beauties from all over the world."

"I don't dare to do it anymore!" Li Yashi trembled and said with sincerity and fear. The Ming Emperor said that palace punishment is palace punishment. If he talks slyly, he will wave goodbye to a happy life.

"Is it true that the sheep brothel you mentioned in the civilian newspaper this time is true?" Zhu Yijun held a miscellaneous newspaper in his hand and read it for a long time, his brows turning into knots.

Legaz said with certainty: "I came from the West, and there were more than 160 sheep brothels along the way, and there were even more in the Portuguese colonies..."

Sheep brothel is not a name for women, but sheep, biologically speaking, ewes. In addition to providing dairy products, ewes also provide an additional service, that is, the sailors on the ship can communicate with the sheep in the dead of night.

There are very few women on board, because the Thai people believe that having women on board is unlucky. Objectively speaking, women on board can easily cause disputes, and it is not impossible to get into a fight over something about the lower body.

So sheep became a substitute. At first they were just sneaking around, and then they openly opened this kind of sheep brothel. A sheep brothel usually has thirty to fifty ewes, and the more 'beautiful' ones Sheep are two to three times more expensive than ordinary sheep.

If a noble wanted to take refuge, he could take shelter from the captain; if it was a prostitute, it would be goods. This is the current life at sea.

The ships of the Ming Dynasty did not carry women, mainly because of physical problems, and the prostitutes along the way solved the problem of demand.

If a newspaper wants to sell well, explosive content is indispensable. The reason why Legas wrote this article was mainly to fight against some liberals. Taixi is not the free and unfettered people in the rumors. On the contrary, it is very consistent with the traditional impression of the Ming Dynasty. Barbarians.

After Lin Fucheng, the leader of the Songjiang School, became the emperor's lackey, the liberals intended to support a new complete liberal to preach absolute freedom through the beautiful filter of the Free City.

"Your Majesty, the Free City is not free. The people who exist the most are slaves, and the biggest trade is the slave trade." Legas said with great certainty: "As long as it exists on a large scale, it will definitely leave traces, a few words in history books, place names There are 11 towns in Luzon named after copper, which is because they were mining copper, and there is a lot of evidence left in the sheep houses all over the major colonies.”

"But Tessie was habitually deceived. After the Renaissance, he always named legendary stories after celebrities from earlier years in Rome, and named the achievements of the Renaissance after the ancients."

"Now some cheap Confucians are clamoring for complete freedom in the name of Taixi. They have obviously learned the deception that Taixi usually uses."

The Ming Dynasty and the Western Han Dynasty completely entered the Iron Age, because there were forty-nine iron officials and forty-nine super-large official factories were discovered.

Legaz's article about the exploding sheep brothel can be said to have directly exposed the lies of the complete liberals who used the Holy Land of "Free City" to promote their claims. After the sheep brothel, Legaz recorded in detailed words The squalor of Liberty City.

Pirates who never take a shower, merchants who like mutton butts, bartenders who mix their wine with water, prostitutes who flirt with women, endless slaves, extremely dirty streets, smelly air, neglected corpses, and disputes. Conflict over goods, unpalatable black bread, officials who facilitate pirates, greedy and stingy tax collectors, immoral nobles, and the chaotic and obscene upper class life. This is Liberty City, and this is the most real life at this time. Tessie.

Rather than those completely liberal exaggerations of the kingdom of God on earth.

"Unless they are isolated from the world, people must abide by certain rules, because people living in groups will inevitably produce division of labor and exchange, so rules must exist." Legas learned a lot from the production diagram.

The production diagram begins with Mencius's theory of division of labor. As long as there is division of labor, there will be exchange, and order is needed. Then the rules to maintain order, that is, public order, good customs, and laws will be born.

This was something Lin Fucheng had not thought about before he came into contact with Jingtang's "Production Illustrations". When Mr. Huang asked him whether he wanted to abide by public order, good customs and the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Fucheng realized the fatal flaw of the theory of freedom, which violated the laws of reality. It is to put aside facts and reality.

It neither takes into account the necessity of production relations and order, nor the basic logic that dividing people into groups will inevitably lead to collectives, safeguarding collective interests is equivalent to safeguarding individual interests, and safeguarding collective freedom is to safeguard individual freedom.

Lin Fucheng needs more allies to destroy the complete liberals who pretend to be in the imaginary world of Taixi Free City, so that freedom theory can truly thrive.

Everything is for true freedom, which is why Lin Fucheng found Legas. Legas was very willing to help because he didn't want his hometown to live like a barbarian forever.

"Fortunately, the West also has tableware, and the barbarians who eat with their hands are different from the barbarians in terms of their extraordinary achievements in arithmetic." Legas said sincerely.

"Your Majesty, something happened over there at Ling Butang." Feng Bao whispered to Xiao Huangmen twice before saying with a solemn expression.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Yijun sat up straight suddenly, his lazy expression became serious, and he asked calmly: "What happened?"

"Ling Butang brought guest soldiers and beat up more than seventy Confucian students." Feng Baogang hurriedly explained that it was not Ling Butang who was in trouble, but Ling Yunyi who beat up the people.

Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Ah, that's it. Is anyone dead?"

"That's not the case. Ling Butang was very measured and did not kill anyone. He was beaten with bruises and swollen face." Feng Bao presented the memorial of Shen Yiguang, the new Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, to the emperor.

Ling Yunyi was listening to storytelling in the Qianmen building. There was a gathering next door. Ling Yunyi was a little curious and went over. The more he listened, the more angry he became. He couldn't hold back and beat the person.

"How can a high-ranking second-grade official commit murder on the street? What if he is injured?" Zhu Yijun said angrily after reading the cause and effect.

Feng Baolue said with some worry: "Will it cause the impeachment of court officials?"
