Wang Xijue, Zhang Jingxiu, Liu Quexian and others said yes.
After Wang Xijue received the information about the mineral veins provided by Jin Yiwei, he said to Liu Quexian:
"You're right, I'm still too cautious!"
"Because according to the overseas gold reserves reported in Jin Yiwei's latest report, the country will have enough capital to repay its debts in the future!"
"It can be said that as long as the rulers are cautious, it will be equivalent to giving ten profits to the foreigners! The gold that has not been mined will become Europa's again!"
"It seems that the current world is the world where Sun Dasheng enters the peach garden and has to eat quickly without hesitation."
Liu Quexian nodded: "I also had this idea after seeing the situation of this mine."
Wang Xijue then said: "Tell me, could it be that Jin Yiwei deliberately made false claims in order to invite favors? Is there really gold everywhere in the world today?"
"It shouldn't be a false report, right?"
"After all, the Thais in Europe are not much more culturally advantageous than us. In the end, they are indeed much richer than us. They brought gold and silver to our Ming Dynasty like dirt in exchange for silk and porcelain."
"Furthermore, according to reports from people who came back, it's not like gold can grow on trees or silver can grow on the ground there. I guess it must be that gold is everywhere in other places, such as that Golden Continent."
Liu Quexian said.
Wang Xijue nodded: "I don't believe that Jin Yiwei dared to make false reports too harshly, and even if Jin Yiwei really made false reports, judging from the fact that half of the mine is real, it shows that what we are doing now is still too cautious. The issuance of 50 million taels of subscription coupons is like a child eating, and the mouth is too small!"
"Maybe that's how His Majesty sees us!"
"In His Majesty's eyes, I, Wang Xijue, may not be any more adventurous and bold than Guo Jiangxia!"
Wang Xijue added a few more words, with a solemn look on his face, indicating some profound enlightenment.
Liu Quexian also nodded and said: "It is said that the Holy Will knows God's will, but we civil servants and officials have never been able to fully understand the Holy Will, so we do not know God's will. Therefore, your Majesty may have always known that we scholar-officials are too cautious and too conservative. Even if Some scholar-bureaucrats are different, like you, Yuan Fu, who may be a little more enlightened and bold, but they are not bold enough. Therefore, Your Majesty has to stop and wait for us from time to time, and even has to be patient. Enlighten us until we come to our senses.”
"yes!"
"We civil servants and officials are essentially like a group of old horses. Although the old horses know the way, they can only know the old way and not the new way. Even if they are forced by Your Majesty to take the new way, they still walk slowly, taking three steps at a time. Turn around."
When Wang Xijue said this, he smiled bitterly and said: "But we are still worried about whether we are walking too fast, but I am afraid that His Majesty secretly wants to whip us a few times to urge us to hurry up!"
Liu Quexian then asked: "Then do it according to the holy will?"
Wang Xijue nodded.
Snapped!
Snapped!
Snapped!
At this time, Zhu Yijun was using his whip to urge his horse to run wildly in the royal paddock of Gyeonggi Province, leaving his princes and confidants Wu Xun far behind.
For a moment, he had to rein in his horse and stop after shooting a pot of arrows. He waited for these people and said, "You are so slow!"
Privy Councilor Li Chengliang followed up and gasped: "Your Majesty's royal skills are too great. Even though I have been riding horses in Liao for decades, I am still not as good as Your Majesty. I really can't accept it!"
"lie!"
"For the crime of deceiving the emperor, I will not punish you severely because of your outstanding achievements. I will only punish you by copying the latest "Selected Poems of Emperor Ming Ji Guo Gong Qi Taifu" published by the inner court five times, and you must submit it within one month. I."
Zhu Yijun said with a smile.
Li Chengliang said "Ah", immediately dismounted and bowed his hands:
"Your Majesty, please spare me. A fine of salary or a title is better than this! Or do you want me to copy other people's poems, not those of Duke Ji Guo?"
"no!"
Zhu Yijun replied, got on his horse and continued to move forward.
After Zhu Yijun came back from hunting, he had just finished bathing and was reading the chapter memorial when Zhang Jingxiu walked over quickly: "Your Majesty, we have come from Shandong to report urgently that Duke Ji Guo died in Dengzhou Mansion!"
Zhu Yijun couldn't help but be startled after hearing this.
"When did this happen?"
After a while, Zhu Yijun asked.
"The seventh day of the lunar month!"
Zhang Jingxiu replied.
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun nodded: "It was sent to the Ministry of Rites to discuss the title of king. This is a great honor. It does not mean that you have assisted me for so many years and protected the country for so many years. It is just a pity that the real Great Wall of Ming Dynasty has not been built." Got it!"
"I will stay out of court for ten days and give you five thousand taels of silver as a sacrifice. Let the second prince and the Supervisor of Ceremonies send a eunuch to pay homage on my behalf."
Huang Xun raised his hand and said yes.
The death of Qi Jiguang made Zhu Yijun quite sad, but while Zhu Yijun was sad, he was also somewhat relieved.
What comforted him was that in this life, Qi Jiguang did not die alone with disappointment and loss.
In this life, his king and country did not deny him or abandon him, but also allowed him to become a general and become a general. He fully displayed his ambitions and became famous overseas during his lifetime. He became a god who had to worship when crossing the sea, and he was even better than before. History lives on for more than ten years.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun was quite relieved about this.
…
"Come here, I will serve you with pen and ink, and then buy a copy of "Selected Poems of Emperor Ming Ji Guo Gong Qi Taibao" and come back!"
Li Chengliang gave the order immediately after accompanying Zhu Yijun back home from hunting.
And his son Li Rumei couldn't help but ask because of this: "Isn't it satisfying that my father usually comes back from hunting with His Majesty? He often has to practice swords and guns again. Why does he have to change his writing today?"
"Your Majesty still thinks that I am inferior to my elder relatives and that I am vulgar!"
"So he found an excuse to punish me for copying his poems, which meant that I would continue to emulate his relatives."
"We are all Dukes of the country, is anyone really worse than the other?"
After Li Chengliang said angrily, he went into his study, sat on a chair, and soon slapped the desk, splashing a lot of dust, and shouted:
"Tell them to hurry up! If they can't finish it in a month, the whole family will be punished!"
Not long after, Li Rumei personally handed over Qi Jiguang's selected poems and pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Li Chengliang actually started copying it seriously.
Among the generals of the Ming Dynasty, Qi Jiguang indeed liked to write poetry, and he was quite famous for poetry at that time. Many civil servants and officials were not as good as him.
Now, because Qi Jiguang is more famous in this generation, more people admire his poems, and more of his poems are published.
"The title of Marquis is not my intention, I hope the sea will be peaceful!"
Li Chengliang copied it and started reading it, and for a moment he couldn't help but cursed: "Damn, this person is indeed bigger-minded than me, I seem to be inferior to him!"
"Father!"
Li Rumei rushed back not long after.
Li Chengliang said: "What are you doing? I haven't seen you and I'm copying poems. I'm here to disturb you again. Your skin is itchy, right?"
Li Rumei hurriedly cupped her hands and said: "Father, please calm down. News came from the palace that Duke Ji Guo has disappeared. Now the Ministry of Rites is rushing to decide what kind of title he should be granted!"
"What?!"
Li Chengliang's pen fell from his hand onto the paper on which he copied the poem.
"Father, you copied it in vain!"
Li Rumei yelled when she saw this.
Li Chengliang didn't realize what he was doing here, he just said: "I haven't caught up with his relative yet, why is he gone?"
"Hurry up to Shandong and visit the Qi family on behalf of our Li family. Remember to kowtow a few more times."
Li Chengliang then gave instructions to Li Rumei.
Then, Li Chengliang sat back on the chair and was stunned. After a while, he said again: "Come here, wait for me to bathe and burn incense. I want to copy this poem carefully!"
As Li Chengliang spoke, he looked at the anthology of Ji Guogong's poems in front of him.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites has decided to posthumously title the Duke of Ji State as the King of Dinghai. The name of the Duke was due to his meritorious service in the garrison of Jizhou at that time. Now it can be said that he was the first to defeat the Japanese pirates Dinghai in Dinghai for the protection of Anbang. The name of his kingdom is Dinghai, and the Duke of Ji Kingdom deserves this name because he has made great contributions to the dynasty of his country."
On this day, Wang Xijue reported Qi Jiguang's royal name to Zhu Yijun in the Imperial Palace.
Zhu Yijun nodded: "Yes!"
Then, Zhu Yijun said again: "Because of Duke Ji's incident, I thought that this dynasty should build a loyal temple and a loyal monument in Beijing to worship the loyal martyrs of the world. What do you think?"
Wang Xijue said without thinking: "Your Majesty, I believe that the Zhonglie Temple and the Zhonglie Monument are no different from other buildings. They are for enlightenment and enlightenment. Therefore, they should be built with white jade on the outside and gold on the inside to show the loyalty of the country!" "
"allow!"
Zhu Yijun replied with a smile.
The other ruling ministers were quite surprised by this, but they didn't say anything.
But soon, Qiao Yun couldn't help but cursed after knowing this:
"This Wang Taicang is really a treacherous minister. Please take the initiative to suggest that your Majesty create a miracle!"
"There is simply no sense of shame for a scholar-bureaucrat, and it is worse than being strict!"
"Now is not the time to scold him Wang Taicang, now is the time to quickly buy the subscription tickets with silver dollar coupons, or spend the silver dollar coupons!"
Wang Jiao said something quite excited at this time.
Geng Suilong also said: "Yes, once the decree to build a wonder came out, and because according to Wang Taicang's intention, it was to be built with white jade on the outside and gold on the inside, so everyone in the world now knows that the Zhonglie Temple and Zhonglie Monument must have been built at a certain cost. It’s not cheap, the imperial court will definitely borrow a lot of money again, silver dollar coupons will definitely fall again, and subscription coupons will rise again, so everyone rushes to buy subscription coupons to spend silver dollar coupons. If the panic continues like this, if you buy it late, you will lose dozens of dollars. Acres of land!”
Qiao Yun said with a solemn expression: "I won't buy it, and I will never collude with the treacherous officials!"
But at this time.
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, people were indeed buying subscription coupons and selling silver dollar coupons, causing the price of subscription coupons to skyrocket, silver dollar coupons to fall sharply, and inflation began to appear.
Therefore, within a few days, Qiao Yun himself saw the latest exchange prices for subscription coupons and silver dollar coupons while reading the newspaper. After reading it, he was stunned on the spot:
"They are all made of Chu paper, why are the prices so different?!"
"Master! Someone from Master Geng's house just now came to ask again, have you really decided not to buy the subscription coupon?"
"I sent him away, scolded him, and told him not to underestimate our master. Our master is a truly honest and loyal minister and will not join in with the treacherous people to buy subscription tickets."
At this time, Gaolinu Anfu, a confidant next to Qiao Yun, came up and said something.
Snapped!
Qiao Yun slapped him directly, looking at him with red eyes:
"Who asked you to drive away like this?!" (End of Chapter)
