Mencius said: Why does the king need to talk about profit? There is only benevolence and righteousness.

The Analects of Confucius said: Zi rarely talked about benefit, fate and benevolence (Confucius rarely talked about benefit, but he supported destiny and benevolence).

"The Great Learning·Yu Tongpian" says: Those who want to grow the country and care about the use of finances must become a small person. He is a good person, and the villain is responsible for the country, and disasters will come. Although there are good people, there is no such thing as such! This means that the country does not use profit as a benefit, but uses righteousness as a benefit.

Judging from the standards of Confucius and Mencius, universities, etc., Zhang Juzheng was a villain. He was a countryman who only cared about finances.

Ge Shouli clearly grasped Zhang Juzheng's Achilles' heel, and Gao Qiyuxiang tried the case. Ge Shouli clearly wanted to pursue it, and then joined forces with Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites of the Jin Party, to argue with officials. It was really difficult for Zhang Juzheng to pass the test so easily. , even if the little emperor expressly supports it.

However, Ge Shouli still suppressed the Jin Party spokesperson and prevented them from discussing the matter in depth.

When Confucius was in charge of government, he first said that there was enough food; Guanzi also said that propriety and righteousness are born from wealth.

Because the Ming court was really poor, so poor that benevolence and righteousness were too extravagant for the court.

The disciples taught by Zhang Juzheng and the Ming Emperor were also villains.

So when Gao Qiyu pleaded guilty, Zhu Yijun relegated Gao Qiyu to Liyang County, Suzhou Prefecture, to take back the fields cultivated by Ma Yilong.

Ever since Xu Zhenming talked about the occupation of Ma Yilong's farmland, the little emperor had always written it down in his notebook. If Gao Qiyu did this well, the little emperor would really forgive him.

"Greetings to Your Majesty." Xu Zhenming hurriedly greeted him. Emperor Ming was really very concerned about farming and would come to see him every day.

"Excuse me, what are you busy with today?" Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Zhenming and asked with a smile.

"Making sweet potato starch." Xu Zhen answered concisely and concisely.

There are three types of sweet potatoes.

Eat fresh, slice and dry in the sun for long-term storage and make starch.

Today, Xu Zhenming’s auspicious gift to the little emperor is to make sweet potato starch into starch. The starch can be further processed into jelly, vermicelli, vermicelli, glutinous rice balls, and so on.

The completely washed sweet potatoes were carried up basket by basket and placed in front of a strange barrel. The barrel had a wooden wheel with a shake handle on the outside, and a licker-in inside the barrel. Zhu Yijun looked at the barrel and asked strangely: "What is this?"

Xu Zhenming couldn't explain it clearly, so he said directly: "Work."

It is better to do it once than to say a thousand things.

The washed sweet potatoes were continuously thrown into the bucket, and then Xu Zhenming kept shaking the handle to drive the wooden wheel to rotate, and the licker-in in the bucket began to rotate, and the bouncing sweet potatoes were crushed into filaments by the licker-in. .

These silk-like sweet potatoes were placed in the mortar next to them, and two people held up a wooden hammer and began to beat the sweet potato silk until it became a paste.

Add a little water to the sweet potato paste, and then filter it through a hanging bag. The hanging bag is fixed by two crossed wooden sticks, and hanging nets are hung at the four corners. The hanging nets are made of cotton and are extremely dense.

After the sweet potato paste is filtered, the residue is piled aside, and under the hanging bag, there is a white and uniform paste.

Zhu Yijun was like a curious baby, working around and trying out these tools that did not require a lot of effort.

"The licker-in is made of steel and wood, mainly wood. The nail teeth are made of sharp steel. The hanging net is extremely simple and is made of densely woven cotton thread." Xu Zhenming said to the white and uniform paste: "After one day, the starch will precipitate Once done, then remove the fine residue and pass through the fenugreek, remove the residue and pass through the fenugreek until there is no residue left, then wrap the starch block with water in a hanging cloth and air-dry to obtain the starch.”

"These dregs can be used to make wine."

Zhu Yijun learned about sweet potato roasting for the first time. It turned out that it was stuffed with sweet potato residue, not sweet potatoes.

Xu Zhenming asked people to bring over the prepared starch, which was of high quality. Starch was also called caramel in the Ming Dynasty. It was a very common food ingredient and was very resistant to hunger. There was also a saying that one pound of flour would cost two pounds of grain.

The shelf life of sweet potatoes when eaten fresh is too short. Compared with traditional crops, the preservation of sweet potatoes is always a problem. Once they sprout, they are prone to food poisoning. Even if they are sliced ​​and air-dried, there is a risk of getting damp. The sweet potatoes can be turned into starch, and the residue can be used to make wine. You can save a lot of food.

How to prepare sweet potatoes quickly is also Xu Zhenming’s most important task after harvesting sweet potatoes and starting to plant beans to cultivate the land.

Now Xu Zhenming is done.

"This thing is very good. I gave it to Mr. Yuanfu for consumption." Zhu Yijun looked at the prepared starches and said to Feng Bao with a smile on his face: "The Quanchu Guild Hall is about to close, and the emperor has to leave Beijing. Let's prepare it." Send more starch to students in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou, and ask Mr. Yuan Fu to try it out and take some back."

"We also sent some to the Guild Halls of Quanshan, Zhejiang, and Quanqi, so that people can bring back sweet potatoes. This can be regarded as promoting the cultivation of sweet potatoes. This product is very good for famine relief."

The imperial court vigorously promoted sweet potato cultivation, mainly in military villages. Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, and Ma Fang were all given potato seedlings as a supplement to the staple food.

This is auxiliary promotion by asking people from all over the country to come to Beijing to take the exam and bring some sweet potatoes home, and use the Jin gentry all over the Ming Dynasty to bring the sweet potatoes back to every corner of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yijun did not say clearly whether or how these Jin gentry would promote it, but they would bring it back and have someone plant it. No matter how good they were, the Jin gentry did not want the desperate people to break into their homes, smash their heads, and rob their granaries. .

Zhu Yijun took advantage of every opportunity to promote sweet potato cultivation, even allowing people to come to Beijing to take the exam.

Promoting sweet potatoes is a rare consensus among emperors, courts, and gentry.

Feng Bao took the order and left.

Zhu Yijun and Xu Zhenming made a comprehensive summary of the process of making starch from sweet potatoes.

It is mainly divided into the steps of cleaning, crushing, filtering, sedimentation, removing impurities in the upper layer, adding water and stirring evenly, finely shredding, reprecipitating, removing impurities in the upper layer, taking out the starch bag to shape and control water, air drying, crushing and drying, and collecting and storing for later use.

Xu Zhenming said with a strange expression: "Your Majesty, this is what nobles eat. They pay attention to the fine food and fine cooking. That is why it is so troublesome. In fact, it is just cleaning, crushing, filtering, and sedimentation, and then you can use it. Those You can also eat the dregs of wine making, but common people don’t care about this.”

When you are hungry, you can eat Guanyin soil.

After sedimentation, repeated filtration is because the emperor wants to see it and the emperor wants to eat it, so it is so cumbersome and repeated filtration. If it is among the people, after sedimentation, they can directly control the water in a cloth bag and air-dry it, and then it can be eaten directly. How can it be done? So many things to pay attention to.

This is also the difference between palace use and folk use. These repeated processes are the most time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Farming in the palace is not farming, it is serving the ancestors. The food at the entrance of the palace also pays attention to the fine food and fine meat, so it seems cumbersome.

Feng Bao took the starch and sweet potatoes prepared by Baoqisi to the Quanchu Guild Hall to reward him. This was the second time the palace came to the Quanchu Guild Hall to reward Zhang Juzheng since he came to Beijing. This was for Zhang Juzheng. To save face, I am also dispelling certain rumors.

After Gao Qiyu's case, there have been rumors that the young emperor and the imperial master parted ways and turned against each other.

Zhu Yijun sent the lieutenant to reward him again, which is to say: The relationship between the emperor and Yuan Fu is still very good. Don't listen to those windy remarks, just believe that the emperor and the chief minister are not at odds, and think that the relationship between the Ming Emperor and Yuan Fu revolves around power. Fighting.

The little emperor gave Zhang Juzheng a good reputation, allowing Zhang Juzheng to steal the limelight in front of his fellow villagers.

"The intention of the palace is to let them bring back sweet potatoes and cut the seeds. As for whether they can plant them or not, and whether they can survive, they all know that there is this thing." Feng Bao explained His Majesty's intention in detail. Regarding the promotion of sweet potatoes by the Jin gentry, Xiao The emperor was not very optimistic.

These gentry themselves do not farm and cannot even tell the difference between wheat and rice. If we expect them to promote sweet potatoes, we might as well expect them to write letters.

Zhang Juzheng looked at those starches and was stunned. He had cut a lot of sweet potato shreds before and they were all dried. Later, they got damaged due to moisture and were not made into powder.

Xu Zhenming's method of making sweet potatoes does not require cutting into strips, air-drying and grinding, but making them directly, which saves more manpower.

Recently, a French wine, that is, strong wine, has been added to the palace. The young emperor named it Diguashao, which is actually brewed from sweet potato dregs.

At the beginning of March, Zhu Yijun opened the Huangji Palace to preside over the palace examinations. There were 293 Chinese-style candidates in the palace examinations. Zhang Juzheng, Lu Tiaoyang, Zhang Han, Tan Lun, Wan Shihe, Wang Guoguang, Wang Zhigao, Zhu Heng and other cabinet ministers, Ming Gong of the Six Ministries, and General Xian Ge Shouli and Hai Rui of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, together with the examiners Wang Xilie, Shen Shixing, and Wang Jia Ping, Fan Yingqi and others were the examiners and began the palace examination.

Originally, there were 300 people in the Chinese examination system, but there were seven missing. It was these seven people who were found to have cheated in the examination fraud case. After they were removed from their titles, they would never be used again.

It is also customary to eliminate seven people without replacing them. Replacement is another fight. Who should be replaced and which company should be replaced are endless questions.

Ce Wen's palace examination was a process. Zhu Yijun named the top three, Feng Bao read a lengthy imperial edict, and amidst shouts of long live, long live, long live, the imperial examination in the second year of Wanli officially ended.

Since the general examination is a Chinese style, the imperial examination will generally not be dismissed.

It took Xu Fan a total of seventeen days from Songjiang Prefecture to Beiya Capital. After entering the capital, he was first escorted to the Ministry of Punishment, and after being interrogated, he was ready to be sent to Jizhou. Before being sent to Jizhou, Xu Fan was sent to Fusi, Beizhen.

Zhu Yijun met with Xu Fan in Baoqisi.

Before the Chinese New Year, Zhang Juzheng asked the emperor to meet with foreign officials, including meeting with the wronged people. Xu Fan complained about the injustice in the Ministry of Justice, saying that he did not kill anyone, but it was just a process. Cases are generally not overturned so quickly.

It was originally a formality, but the little emperor rarely found Xu Fan entering the palace to express his love.

"The common people pay homage to Your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live, long live." Xu Fan knelt on the ground and no longer addressed himself as a minister, but as a common people. He no longer had an official status.

"Without courtesy." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Xu Fan, I know your injustice, Yuan Fu also knows your injustice, the court also knows your injustice, and the local officials in Nanya also know the injustice. The person who harmed you is worse than you. You all know how wronged you are."

"Luo Bingliang, who has been sentenced to a thousand households, has investigated your murder case clearly. You were not the one who killed people, and you were not the one who hurt others."

Xu Fan sighed heavily and said: "The common people have no power to restrain a chicken, so please let your Majesty know clearly."

Killing and hurting others has nothing to do with Xu Fan. Xu Fan is a scholar and he really doesn't know how to fight.

"Do you know who harmed you?" Zhu Yijun stood up and asked.

Xu Fan shook his head and said: "The common people don't know."

"Gu Zhangzhi, his son Gu Shaofang, Gu Jiuxi, the official of Guanglu Temple, and the Gu family in Kunshan want to harm you." Zhu Yijun directly revealed the mystery and answer without giving away the secret.

Gu Shaofang was scolded by Xu Fan, and he held a grudge. His father, Gu Zhangzhi, was the Yin of Yingtian Prefecture, and he committed such a crime. Firstly, he retaliated, and secondly, he frightened the Jiangnan gentry not to surrender to the imperial court. If he dared to surrender to the imperial court, Xu Shaofang The price is the price.

Now, Mrs. Gu has directly become the chicken that kills the chicken to scare the monkeys.

Gu Zhangzhi and Gu Jiuxi were dismissed from office and sent to Beizhen Fusi Xu Xing for questioning. Gu Shaofang was supposed to take part in the February examination, but was dismissed because of his guilt. The Gu family's home was also confiscated, and their land was returned to Songjiang Town. Navy, and Yinzi was also escorted to Beijing.

In Zhang Juzheng's plan, the chicken was supposed to be Mrs. Xu, but Mrs. Gu jumped out on her own and shouted, "Kill me quickly, kill me!" I am the boldest.

Zhang Juzheng was a villain with sharp words, and the students he taught were also villains with hearts smaller than the eye of a needle. This pair of emperor and minister were also evil people.

Since Mr. Gu was making such a noise, Zhang Juzheng ransacked Mr. Gu's house with his sword in hand.

Jump, jump again! Behead them all.

The Gu family, which had been passed down for more than two hundred years, was uprooted in this way. Even several families related to the Gu family were implicated to varying degrees because of their in-law Gua Man.

"Go and see the fate of your enemy." Zhu Yijun led Xu Fan towards Beizhen Fusi Yamen.

This is not the first time Zhu Yijun has come to Beizhen Fusi. The last time was the assassination of the king and the driving case. Beizhen Fusi was cleaned inside and outside, and this time the little emperor also greeted him in advance. Zhenfusi even sprinkled some toilet water to cover up the smell of blood.

Compared with Jiejuyuan, which is off-limits to strangers, Beizhen Fusi is not so cold.

The interrogation began soon, but Zhu Yijun was still in the back hall and did not interrogate himself.

Zhu Xixiao looked at the two people in front of him, Gu Zhangzhi and Gu Jiuxi, and just shook his head. He took out the first file and said: "Gu Zhangzhi, in the forty-three years of Jiajing, you bribed Xu Jie's calligraphy and paintings at a discount of more than 30,000 taels of gold and silver. , was promoted from the prefect of Raozhou to the censor of Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate Youqiandu, is this possible?"

"Yes." Gu Zhangzhi was silent for a moment, then knelt on the ground and confessed.

Since Zhu Xixiao has taken out this file, it is natural that all the witnesses and physical evidence are there. This is the major disadvantage of appeasement. There are many thieves in Raozhou near the lake, and the people are aggressive and aggressive. Gu Zhangzhi was involved in the plan of the prefect of Raozhou, and he was killed twice. It was a negative review, so Gu Zhangzhi's promotion seemed very unexpected.

Zhu Xixiao picked up another file and said: "In the second year of Longqing, you bribed Xu Jie with some gifts at a discount of 15,000 taels of gold and silver, and also received Yingtian Magistrate. Is this possible?"

"Yes." Gu Zhangzhi confessed again. This was before Xu Jie became an official. In order to create a protective umbrella for himself in Nanya, Xu Jie's daughter married Gu Jiuxi. The Gu family and the Xu family were in-laws. In the words of the little emperor, This is a clan party.

"Since the third year of Longqing, you have accepted bribes of more than 50,000 taels of gold and silver from Xu Jie. Since then, you have repeatedly obstructed Yingtian Governor Hai Rui from thoroughly investigating Xu Jie's embezzlement case. Is this possible?" Zhu Xixiao took out a third asked the file.

"Yes." Gu Zhangzhi confessed.

During the court discussion of the cases of Song Yangshan, Wang Daokun, Yu Dayou, Chen Lin, Zhang Jin, Zhang Cheng, Xu Fan, etc., Hai Rui kept emphasizing that these were all old skills. The difficulties Hai Rui faced back then were almost exactly the same. Yingtianfu Yin Gu Zhangzhi has a close relationship.

Zhu Xixiao continued to interrogate the case, and there were many case files. After Gu's house was searched, many important cases were found. Zhu Xixiao interrogated for a long time, and Gu Zhangzhi did not plead guilty.

Once in the sky jail, facing a case with irrefutable evidence, any attempt to quibble would be asking for trouble.

Zhu Xixiao took out the last case file and asked: "Xu Fan's murder case, one prostitute and one servant were killed, and four people were injured. Who did it?"

"I instruct Ying Tianqun's little Huang Fu. Huang Fu is a repeat offender. I secretly pardoned his crime and escaped from prison. I specialize in raising my own feathers and make friends with officials. In order to obtain heavy bribes, Xu Fan humiliated my son very much, so I instigated Huang Fu to frame him." Gu Zhangzhi was silent for a moment and took the matter into his own hands.

Zhu Xixiao said with emotion: "This is what your son Gu Shaofang did. He has already made it clear, but you want to take the blame on yourself?"

Gu Zhangzhi was not sure whether Zhu Xixiao deceived him or whether his son had really confessed his crime. He kowtowed again and said: "All the evil deeds are all committed by me alone. My son is studying and has no ears to hear what is going on outside the window. Huang Fu is my lackey. No. If you listen to my son’s instructions, it will naturally be my responsibility.”

"Huang Xiu also confessed that it was Gu Shaofang who instigated it." Zhu Xixiao took out another testimony and said: "Huang Xiu's testimony is consistent with Gu Shaofang's testimony."

Gu Zhangzhi still insisted: "I ordered it."

Zhu Xixiao was indeed deceiving Gu Zhangzhi.

Zhu Xixiao was an old official, and he could see this case at a glance. It was Gu Shaofang, his son, who instigated his family's lackey Huang Fu to kill people and frame the case. Gu Zhangzhi took it on him in order to wipe his own ass.

Who ordered it?

Huang Fu said that it was Mr. Gu who instigated it. Gu Shaofang insisted that he had not instigated it, while Gu Zhangzhi took all the blame on himself.

This issue is unclear. Gu Shaofang and Gu Zhangzhi have obviously had an affair for a long time. Someone between father and son must take responsibility for this.

Zhu Xixiao said: "Gu Zhangzhi, you have a conspiracy to let thieves take advantage of you. You have opened a large bribery door and bribed the legacy, which has corrupted the law and corrupted the group of small rivals. If you confess, we are going to execute him and send him to the Ministry of Punishment and then to Dali Temple." Nuclear power, if you want to call for grievances as early as possible, don’t wait until the expiration date.”

Zhu Xixiao gave his advice to Beizhen Fusi Yamen, and Gu Zhangzhi made a decision, and all the Gu family were exiled to the misty land of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou.

Beizhen Fusi is a reference opinion. The specific trial must be reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple.

"There is no injustice." When Gu Zhangzhi heard that Zhu Xixiao had given the penalty, he knelt on the ground. He did not intend to cry out for injustice, and there was nothing wrong with him.

Gu Jiuxi was completely different. He struggled hard and shouted: "He is not unjust, I am unjust. I just received a letter from my uncle and wrote a memorial. I didn't do anything. Why should I be cut off from my official position?" You want me to be exiled to the border of Yunnan? I am unjust."

"Xu Fan, do you think Gu Jiuxi was wronged or not?" Zhu Yijun was in the back hall, looking at Xu Fan and asked with a smile.

"With all the people in the house, An still has eggs intact? How can there be any talk of injustice." Xu Fan said helplessly. Gu Jiuxi was his brother-in-law, and his sister was married to Gu Jiuxi.

As a result, Gu Jiuxi stabbed Xu Fan in the back without hesitation.

"Is it unfair? If you shout, someone will answer?" Zhu Xixiao waved his hand and ignored Gu Jiuxi's cry of injustice.

Zhu Yijun showed a smile in the back hall, he was who he was, and he would definitely repay the little emperor.

Xu Fan surrendered to the court and was willing to cooperate with the court. If Gu Zhangzhi and Gu Jiuxi dared to touch the people of the court, they would not cut off their claws. If the Jin gentry followed the example, they would overstep their bounds.

"Xu Fan, your unjust case can't be overturned until the Nanya land return matter is settled. When you get to Jizhou, you will take charge of the land reclamation matter and make good contributions. I will also be able to stand up for you at the court meeting. We will have the opportunity to reverse the case." Zhu Yijun explained to Xu Fan.

The verdict cannot be reversed immediately. Only after the Nanya return to the land is over can the verdict be reversed for Xu Fan.

Zhu Xixiao ignored Gu Jiuxi's cry of injustice. Not everyone who cried grievance could be summoned by His Majesty. Xu Fan's injustice was true, but Gu Jiuxi was not unjust at all. This person's crime included more than just a memorial. There are also a lot of crimes on him. Only a lot more than Gu Zhangzhi.

"The criminals who led the case were Wang Bai, the former deputy envoy of Guangdong Haidao, and Huang Qing, the former commander of the capital." Zhu Xixiao did not stop examining the case. Today's case is not only Gu Zhangzhi and Gu Jiuxi, but also two criminals from Guangdong, Wang Bai and Huang Qing.

Zhu Xixiao took out a file and frowned and said: "Yin Zhengmao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, sent a memorial: In the 32nd year of Jiajing, the foreigners came to Hao Mirror. On the pretext that the boat hit the cracks of the wind and waves, and the water soaked the tributes, I would like to temporarily borrow the ground to dry them. , Haidao Deputy Envoy Wang Bo bribed him."

"It only lasted for more than ten years. Later, profit-seeking industrialists and merchants gradually began to build houses with bricks, tiles, wood and stones, and they were like settlements. Naturally, all the buildings were destroyed, and Haojing was left alone."

Yin Zhengmao gathered fifty ships and drove the Xiaoflangji people into the sea, and then increased the tax on the Xiaoflangji people to 20% as a punitive tariff to support the royal family.

"You two accepted bribes from the sea route, five hundred taels of gold and silver every year?" Zhu Xixiao couldn't help asking questions. Wang Bai and Huang Qing took Tuen Mun, Hao Jing and other places for bribes of five hundred taels of silver every year. Was it taken over by the little Frankie?

That's ridiculous!

Even if you charge more money, just sell the land for five hundred taels of silver? Losing one's soil will lead to beheading!

"The one who created the terracotta warriors has no descendants. We have the Han Dynasty and the Han Palace's laws. You two have started this and harmed other generations!" Zhu Xixiao said angrily.

Wang Bai knelt on the ground, grabbed the ground with his head, and said loudly: "The red-haired Panyi of Macao will give you five hundred taels of land rent every year. Tishuai is a wise man."

"Then Yin Zhengmao was even more greedy. In the fifth year of Longqing, when Yin Zhengmao arrived in Guangzhou, he directly seized the market that we had established for more than ten years, and secretly allocated foreign ships to 20% at a time. When the war was tense, it could even exceed Five percent!"

Huang Qing hurriedly agreed and said: "Yin Zhengmao has done all kinds of bad things. He not only robbed the market we set up, but also preyed on the Jin gentry. Once there was no food and salary, he even directly robbed and opened the granary to use it. The Jin gentry was miserable and dared not be angry. It is said that Yin Zhengmao asked for bribes excessively, and as soon as the war got serious, he took large amounts of donations and forced the Jin gentry to pay grain and silver."

"He has been in Guangzhou for two years and has made at least more than 300,000 taels of silver. His family is extremely luxurious."

"If we talk about greed, Yin Zhengmao is even more greedy."

"Yin Zhengmao and the bandits Ping Wo, is he in the same nest as the bandits snakes and rats?" Zhu Xixiao asked in return.

Wang Bai had no choice but to reply: "That's not true."

"Yin Zhengmao forced the Hongmao Fan to leave Haojing with fifty ships. Did you expel him?" Zhu Xixiao asked again.

"That's not true."

"Did Yin Zhengmao lose his land?" Zhu Xixiao asked with a frown.

"That's not the case either."

Zhu Xixiao said with emotion: "The barbarians in the east of Guangdong are like gangrene on the back; the Japanese slaves in Australia are like the wings of a tiger!"

"This year, Panyu sent people to the capital. Everyone is saying that the barbarians in Macao are becoming more and more unruly. They are hiding Japanese slaves, black people and desperadoes in Macao. They do not abide by the laws of the Han Palace and endanger the countryside."

"People from Panyu are running around, asking the imperial court to drive out all the Tibetan tribes in Australia and China, and return my Haojing land. You two have five hundred taels of silver a year, and you can directly pacify the Japanese invaders in Guangdong and Guangxi. How much effort has been wasted?"

The Japanese plague in Guangzhou is more complicated than that in Fujian and Zhejiang. The complexity lies in the fact that the Xiaofo Langji people, known as the Macau Red-haired Fanyi, hide Japanese pirates, gangsters, and desperadoes.

Yin Zhengmao was in Guangzhou, and he was indeed greedy when it came to robbing bandits and pacifying the Japanese. Everyone knew that even Zhang Juzheng sent letters three times to ask Yin Zhengmao to be less greedy, but he was greedy so much that Zhang Juzheng was a little weak in defending Yin Zhengmao.

Only then did Yin Zhengmao agree to raise taxes on Xiao Franji people to support the royal family. That's a little less greedy.

Zhu Xixiao continued to interrogate Wang Bai and Huang Qing. These two people sold the land for five hundred taels a year, even if it was for more!

"Hongmao Fan is an obedient citizen of the Chinese Empire!" Wang Bai made his final defense. People in Guangdong and Guangxi called Xiao Fo Langji an obedient citizen of the Chinese Emperor.

Zhu Xixiao took out another documentary evidence, which was a navigation note, which was seized by Yin Zhengmao after he drove the Xiaofo Langji who was entrenched in Haojing into the sea.

During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, Xiaofo Langji's envoys Huo Zhe Yasan and Tomei Piles were in the capital. There were still general officials in the court who could understand this navigational diary.

Zhu Xixiao said: "The notes have repeatedly mentioned that all the honor and dignity of the great and powerful Portugal have been trampled unscrupulously by the weak and bold Qin people. The dignity of Portugal, which must be safeguarded by conquests and armies, has been trampled in China." Trampled in the dirt, once military power allows, it will be a matter of time to regain dignity."

"In the notes written by Hao Jing Qi Huo, Xiao Fo Langji shows no sign of being submissive. Your rhetoric as a docile citizen of the Celestial Empire is also untenable."

Zhu Xixiao is talking about translation content. There are many such notes. For example, in the letters between missionaries and the Western Holy See and Emperor Xiao Folangji, they wrote:

[We all, His Majesty's slaves and subjects, are quite convinced that while you are on the throne, China will be subordinate to Your Majesty, Christianity will be spread and exalted in this region, Your Majesty's domain will be expanded, and all this will Achieved within a very short period of time. ]

Even Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, who talked about Rouyuan people all day long, could no longer say the words Rouyuan people after seeing these notes and contents.

Now Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, talks about "barbarians with wolf-like faces and beast-like hearts, fearing power but not virtue" all day long.

Wan Shihe can't wait to increase the tax on Dafo Langji to 20% instead of the previous 6%!

"The two of you are responsible for the loss of the land. You cannot escape the responsibility for harboring the bandits and the Japanese invaders. The evidence is conclusive. According to the national law, the sentence is to be executed. If you want to complain, you should complain as soon as possible. Don't wait until the expiration date." Zhu Xixiao found out the reason for this case. The opinions of Beizhen Fusi were also drawn up regarding the causes and consequences.

Those who lose their land must be killed.

After the case was heard, Zhu Yijun stood up, walked to the front hall with his hands in hand, bowed slightly to Zhu Xixiao and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"I am ashamed of myself. I am ashamed of myself." Zhu Xixiao hurriedly returned the gift. The reason why the little emperor was so polite was because Zhu Xixiao was the little emperor's martial arts teacher.

When had warriors ever been so respected? Zhu Xixiao was under great pressure every time.

Zhu Yijun left the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen, and Xu Fan also went to Jizhou.

Fifteen days later, Zhu Yijun went to Huangji Gate to be imprisoned, and Gu Zhangzhi, Wang Bai, and Huang Qing were beheaded.

The executioner took out a bone pry knife and inserted it into the spine, breaking the spine with a click. Then he raised the knife and dropped it. The three heads were chopped off and rolled far away.

After the news that Gu Zhangzhi was beheaded and the entire Gu family was exiled came back to Nanya, two different winds immediately appeared on the ground of Nanya.

The first force is that the Gu family is to blame, and the second force is that the Gu family and Fang Xiaoru are equally unjust!

These two forces of public opinion were intertwined and became more and more intense, and the speed at which Nanya Quanhao returned the crossbows immediately became much faster.

If they don't hand it over, the court will really kill people and raid their homes. After the raids, they will be exiled. All the Gu family's fields will be used by Yu Dayou for farming and building water divisions.

Some people seemed to have made up their mind not to return the crossbows. The newly arrived Yingtian Prefecture Yin Li Le set up a banquet on the ground of Nanya and had people send invitations door to door.

When a local official takes office, he naturally has to meet with the local powerful people. Usually, everyone is good to each other and everyone is happy and happy. But this time Li Le hosted a banquet, which was clearly a Hongmen Banquet.

Not coming? Tomorrow Tiqi will invade the house.

Li Le said what Che Zulu said again with all his heart.

Wang Daokun, the governor of Songjiang, promoted the broad blueprint of Songjiang Shipping Department.

If you are now following the imperial court, if you are willing to trade fields for ships, and if you are willing to participate in the grand opening of the sea, you will definitely have a bright future! If you refuse to live or die, you can't blame the court for being ruthless. When the waves wash away the sand, someone will always die on the dry shore.

Divide, divide, divide, Zhang Juzheng's work in the country is to divide and transform, and defeat them one by one.

Soon the powerful people on the ground in Nanya honestly returned all the crossbows, and the Songjiang Prefecture Shipping Department was established under the spotlight.

Then he immediately fell into embarrassment and lost his boat.

The shipbuilding industry is an extremely complex production chain, which cannot be achieved overnight, nor can the industry chain be completely opened up with a single order from the court. Within three to five months, Songjiang Prefecture was full of three-masted ships.

The shipbuilding industry was once the pillar industry of Nanya, but that was during the Yongle period, and it was very difficult to revive it again.

And one person came into everyone's sight, Francisco Sander, the Governor of Luzon.
