The Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 82: Compete with the people for profit

Views:

The members of the Donglin Party nodded their heads in support, and they had long said that it was impossible to appease them. These eunuchs misled the country and the people, but the emperor still trusted these eggless people. One by one they cursed the castration party and Wei Zhongxian in their hearts.

Zhu Youjian is not a member of the Donglin Party, and he does not use the thinking of the Donglin Party to consider problems.

"However, suppression is also difficult. The capital is seven hundred miles away from Datong and 1,800 miles from Tongguan. The capital of the capital cannot arrive in one day. If the bandit army crosses Datong and Tongguan without the antenna of the Yellow River, it will directly threaten the capital. ."

Zhu Youjian, who is familiar with history, knows that the later Li Zicheng marched into the capital along these two roads, and eventually breached Beijing and overthrew Daming.

The Donglin Party members who nodded just now are confused now. Which one is this young Xinwang acting? Do you support us or the eunuch? Is it possible to hit 50 boards each

Zhu Youjian ignored the Donglin Party’s defamation, nor did he pay attention to the hope that ignited in the eyes of the eunuch members. He is now performing martial arts at the Asian Games. He is the protagonist. Everyone is an audience, except Zhu Youxiao is the referee.

"Furthermore, after the bandit army was eliminated, the farmers in Shaanxi still had no food to eat.

Chaotang is like the quiet Don River. Zhu Youxiao has never seen such a quiet moment. The members of the two parties who were fighting just now don't know what they are thinking, as if Zhu Youjian gave them a hole in the gap.

Zhu Youjian continued his one-man show. It turned out that it was so cool to suppress the two parties. "In short, Shaanxi bandits are in trouble, and the early stage must be suppressed. But after the suppression, a lot of comfort work needs to be done. No matter how difficult the court is, the people must be eaten. Stuffed."

"Then, according to His Highness's opinion, the bandit army should be wiped out? How to wipe out?" Before Zhu Youjian finished speaking, Li Chunye secretly helped, as if it was a cross-examination, but actually let him be in front of Zhu Youxiao. , If all the plans are stated, it will be much less difficult to implement in the future.

Now is a very time, as long as the bandit army can be put down, Zhu Youxiao will definitely agree to Zhu Youjian's plan.

"The Shanxi General Army is urgently ordered to send heavy troops to Datong to prevent bandits from entering Shanxi on a large scale from the north. With the natural danger of the Yellow River, Datong's army should be able to prevent bandits from advancing east; the court dispatched another 50,000 elite soldiers to do the same to seize Tongguan. Once Tongguan is in hand and echoes with Datong in the north, the bandits will be confined to Shaanxi, and the imperial army can concentrate on destroying the bandits."

Zhu Youjian did not speak out in front of the ministers. Although the number of bandits is large, they are mostly farmers. They have no special training. A tailwind can be frightening. Once you lose, you can experience what Mount Everest is like. Avalanche.

"Fifty thousand? Believe the king, how about I give you fifty thousand horses? Aren't you quite capable of fighting?" Zhu Youxiao saw Zhu Youjian like to drink egg soup, and his confidence also came up.

"If you are led by your ministers, 40,000 soldiers from the four military camps are enough." The roads in Shaanxi are difficult and difficult. If there are more soldiers, they are slow to act. With the combat power of the four military camps, it should be superior to 200,000 bandits. "However, after the rebellion, how to appease the local people, I also ask the emperor to show me."

"Believe in the king, what good strategy do you have?" Zhu Youxiao thinks that this younger brother is quite capable, and it is worthwhile that he usually cares a lot about him. In the face of two hundred thousand bandits, the imperial court can do nothing except quarrel.

"Report to the emperor that a large area of banditry has occurred in Shaanxi, and the destruction of farmland and dealers will inevitably be severe, and will even affect next year's harvest. Because of the war in Liaodong, the imperial court was unable to mobilize a large amount of reserves."

"..." Zhu Youxiao couldn't laugh or cry. I asked you to find a way. Who told you to complain

People from the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party had to admit that what Zhu Youjian said was the truth.

"My brother Yichen sees that a large number of factories have been opened in Shaanxi to recruit farmers who lack grain to work. The farmers have money and can buy grain. The imperial court transports the stored grain to Shaanxi, sells it at a fair price, and then uses the money from the grain to go to Jiangnan to buy it. Grain fills the vacancy in military rations. In this way, the imperial court can provide farmers in Shaanxi with food to eat without paying a penny for a grain."

Rejuvenating the country through industry is the most fundamental way to prosper the country that later generations have tested. It seems a bit of a threat to promote the rejuvenation of the country by industry. However, the chief designer said it is good that a white cat is a black cat, and a good cat is a good cat if you catch a mouse.

After passing the village, there will be no shop. I don't need such a good opportunity. I am afraid that even Xiao Yu will not let him go.

Zhu Youjian is all a little grateful to Wang Er. If it weren't for Wang Er to make some trouble, wouldn't he have to wait until the year of the monkey to develop his own industrial plan.

"But for a while, how can there be many factories?" Zhu Youxiao was also embarrassed.

"Brother Huihuang, after the banditry in Shaanxi has subsided, the minister will open a cement plant and a brick kiln factory in Shaanxi. Uncle Rui Wang of Hanzhong will definitely participate."

"Just these few factories, are you afraid that they won't be able to feed the tens of millions of people in Shaanxi?" Zhu Youxiao expressed suspicion.

"Brother Guangchen, of course, cannot save the people of Shaanxi." Zhu Youzhen breathed a sigh of relief. "In addition, the emperor can tell the world to invite rich businessmen from Jiangnan, Huguang, and Guangdong to open various factories in Shaanxi."

The ministers couldn't keep up with Zhu Youjian's thinking, only stared.

"Once the factories in Shaanxi become large-scale, not only will the investors get rich returns, these factories will also pay taxes like the factories of the ministers, and the household will increase their income. At that time, Shaanxi will become another Jiangnan, Guanzhong It will also restore the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties."

Zhu Youjian was all moved by his speech. It seems that Daming's ZTE started from himself, from Shaanxi. And Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and the like will also be destined to die in Tian Mo because of historical changes.

Shaanxi eliminated poverty and hunger, and also eliminated their romantic soil.

"Okay, I will tell the king of Yixin. I will send an edict to the world and send wealthy households from all over to Shaanxi to open factories. The decree," Zhu Youxiao was also burst into tears by Zhu Youjian. The court did not need to spend a penny. To appease the people of Shaanxi can also increase the income of the household department. From now on, several Shangshu from the Ministry of Households will not cry with themselves all day long like hungry ghosts.

"The emperor's letter king, Zhu Youjian, became the left governor of the fifth army camp, and he led the fourth army camp. He left Beijing today and went to Shaanxi to suppress bandits."

"Your Majesty, never do it." Xue Fengxiang, Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry, took a step and knelt down in front of Zhu Youxiao, "Xin Wang is young and does not understand the ritual system of Ming Dynasty. Today Shaanxi is poor, and the people are in danger because of starvation, and the people's heart has been lost. . His Royal Highness Xinwang does not want to stabilize Shaanxi and encourages the people to engage in agricultural production, but what kind of factory does he want to build? His Highness Xinwang, can the cement and red brick produced by this factory be used as food for the people? This dynasty has been since the reign of Emperor Taizu. Customs were formed, and no commercial taxes were levied. Scholars, farmers, businesses, merchants were the last untouchables of the Ming Dynasty, and they did the most humble things, and farming was the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. But the court did not think about farming, but competed with the people for profit, letting the king of faith be in Shaanxi. Do that humble thing..." Xue Fengxiang spit wildly, saying for half an hour in one breath, he didn't need to rest at all, and he didn't give others a chance to speak.

"The minister seconded."

"The minister seconded."

"The minister seconded."

The Donglin Party members knelt down to express their support for Xue Fengxiang.

In front of Zhu Youxiao, the important minister of Daming knelt on the ground.

Zhu Youzhen was furious, Niang Xipi, did not bully Laozi graduate from Peking University's debate department

He was about to retort, someone earlier took over the Donglin Party’s pack of wolves tactics:

"Master Xue's words are bad! Why can't the merchants be the citizens of Ming Dynasty pay taxes? The scholars, farmers, commerce and industry, businessmen are indeed the most humble. These untouchables don't pay taxes, where does the household income come from? Do you come to pay the taxes? Oh, forget. Now, Master Xue was born in business and industry. It is said that Master Xue grew up eating a hundred families. It is no wonder that Master Xue was ignorant of the dangers of the court and wanted to support business and industry.

Guo Yunhou, the Shangshu of the Household Department, quit. Liaodong employs soldiers year after year, and the household can’t make ends meet. As the Shangshu of the Household Department, he has been reprimanded by Zhu Youxiao many times. Now that he has ample opportunities for the Household Department, how can he allow these Donglin Party Are people making trouble? Moreover, the Donglin Party group attacked, and their opinions must not be allowed to influence the emperor's decision.

Regardless of whether the letter king sent troops to Shaanxi is correct, suppressing the Donglin Party is the most important thing.

"You... You..." Xue Fengxiang rolled his eyes with anger, but because Guo Yunhou had exposed his scar, he couldn't say a word. He just pointed Guo Yunhou with his index finger, his fingers trembling rhythmically.

"Exposure people don't expose shortcomings, hit people don't slap them in the face. Why should Master Guo be aggressive? Master Xue is also considering your majesty's reputation." Wang Yongguang's words were still relatively mild. Now above the court, the eunuch party has an advantage in terms of strength and number. Since the first and adjunct to Gao Zhishi, the Donglin Party's strength in the court has gone from bad to worse, and now it no longer has the ability to directly compete with the eunuch party.

"Master Wang, did Master Xue just give His Royal Highness Xin Wang a half face to the emperor?" Cui Chengxiu, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was indeed powerful. He directed the spearhead of the Donglin Party to the emperor. It seems that this round of the Donglin Party's Failure is inevitable.

Sure enough, the Donglin Party members no longer dared to respond. Directly against the emperor, they didn't have the courage yet, and it was no longer the Wanli era when a group of officials joined forces to fight the emperor.

Because of Zhu Youxiao’s indulging in woodwork and major events in Korea, he generally doesn’t care about anything. Therefore, above the court, it is usually the stage where the East Forest Party and the Eunuch Party compete for power. Today Zhu Youxiao is a rare referee because of the banditry in Shaanxi. Who dares to offend the referee

Zhu Youxiao said: "You love Qing, the court is struggling to spend time. All of you are important ministers in the court, and should share our worries. I originally planned to expropriate industry and commerce from the wealthy southern provinces such as Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and Huguang. Taxes." He remembered that Zhu Youjian had suggested to him to collect industrial and commercial taxes across the country, and now it happens to be able to suppress these Donglin Party members. "But Shaanxi banditry is a top priority. There is no need to talk about it today. Let's calm down the Shaanxi thing first!"

The nest of the Donglin Party is in the southern provinces. If the emperor rises up and collects industrial and commercial taxes from the southern provinces, then the Donglin Party and the supporting forces behind them will lose more. Their blow is even greater.

The Donglin Party members no longer dared to make even the slightest noise, one by one, like chickens and ducks infected with bird flu, their heads drooping.
