Zhang Siwei wanted to plot to kill Zhang Juzheng, and even bribed the palace cook to see how many bowls of rice the little emperor ate in a day.
But Wang Chonggu knew for sure that if Zhang Juzheng was so easy to deal with, Gao Gong would have taken action back then, so why wait until now?
We are all carnivores, so who doesn’t know this trick? How to protect yourself and ask others to teach Zhang Juzheng? When Zhang Juzheng embarked on this road, he didn't even care about his posthumous name. How could he not know the dangers of this road?
This is a typical trap.
Wang Chonggu frowned and asked: "Everyone has to have a thought when they are alive. This is the realm of conscience. What are your thoughts on bringing down Zhang Juzheng? Is Zhang Juzheng bothering us in any way?" ? He just wants the Ming Dynasty to be strong."
"Not only does he not interfere with our affairs, he also finds things for us to do. You see, the little emperor and Yuan Fu feel that we are not doing well in the northwest and making not enough money. Why don't they take over the wool factory? This task is left to us."
"This is just making something out of nothing. Those wools can only be made into felts on the grasslands, but they can never be used as fabrics in the Central Plains. You can make a fortune from this."
"Zhang Juzheng didn't even block our way to make money! Get rid of him if he's in the way. Is he, Zhang Juzheng, in the way?"
"Uncle!" Zhang Siwei said with a solemn expression: "Because I don't want my life to be handed over to others! What is imperial power? It means life and death! If you are allowed to live, you will live; if you are allowed to die, you will die; if it is given to you, you will die. You must; you cannot take what is not given to you. This is life and death!"
"Now, it is the imperial court that has given us business and a way to live! What if they don't give it to us? What if they want us to die?"
"Why can we be so unscrupulous in the northwest? It's because the power of conquest of rituals and music, celebration, reward, power and punishment does not lie with the court, but with us!"
Wang Chonggu carefully thought about Zhang Siwei's words. This is a typical orthodox study that ignores the facts and causes harm to the conscience. If he feels that what he thinks is right, he will go all the way to the end according to his own ideas, regardless of it.
Zhang Siwei read the contradiction to oppose it, but Wang Chonggu had a lot of experience as the governor of the northwest. The court was very cautious about the situation in the northwest. This was due to the relationship between power.
The clan party has merit, and there is no doubt about it, and that is why I am paying tribute.
Since the Gengxu Incident in the 29th year of Jiajing, Anda Khan invaded the capital and plundered the capital for eight days, the war in the northwest lasted for fifteen years. During these fifteen years, the war in the northwest was like It's like a huge wound, and it keeps bleeding Daming. Combined with the severity of the tube, the primary and secondary contradictions are analyzed.
At that time, the main contradiction in the Ming Dynasty was the conflict between the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Barbarians. The Ming Dynasty could not win, so the Jin Party and the Nationalist Party were established.
The Treaty of Rules and Regulations established by "I was first granted the title of King Shunyi" is indeed called "tribute". It is actually the humiliation of the old coins. It also really alleviates this main contradiction. The Ming Dynasty will not spend millions of military pay on every year. In the northwest, not even a splash can be seen.
A huge wound turned into a small wound in the clan party. This is both humiliation and merit.
Gou Jian was defeated that year and was driven to Kuaiji Mountain by King Wu Fu Chai. Gou Jian's counselor Wen Zhong knelt before Wu King Fu Chai and said: My king is willing to be your slave and his wife to be your concubine, serving the king at your knees. The country of Yue can It is a vassal of King Wu.
King Wu Fu Chai found that Gou Jian was indeed very submissive. Later Wu King Fu Chai killed Wu Zixu, and Yue King Gou Jian began to attack Wu. Finally, Wu King Fu Chai was driven to Gusu Mountain. He knelt in front of Gou Jian and begged Gou Jian to pardon Fu Cha as he had in Kuaiji.
Gou Jian wanted to exile King Wu Fu Chai. Fu Chai was ashamed and angry. He regretted that he should not kill Wu Zixu and committed suicide.
Gou Jian lay down on the firewood and tasted his courage. Three thousand Yue Jia could swallow Wu.
If after the peace negotiation, Ming Dynasty can work hard and fight hard to wash away this humiliation, then the peace negotiation is not a humiliation. Then Wang Chonggu was not a traitor, but a temporary tactic.
Since the first year of Wanli, Dong Hu was killed at Xifengkou, Pingule Village in Liaodong, the Japanese bandits in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the Hongmao bandits in Luzon were expelled. The Ming Dynasty was indeed hardworking and hardworking. Wang Chonggu heard about it. The little emperor In the name of grinding teeth all day long, eating hard and tooth-grinding military rations, isn't this just a matter of hard work, so what is it?
Lying on firewood and tasting gall does not mean lying on firewood, living in a cowshed, hanging a piece of gall and tasting it every day, but it is a concrete manifestation of not forgetting the shame.
"You are going to rebel, but you don't care about your weight. Since Yuan Fu has been in power, has he ever killed one person unjustly? Has he ever killed one person and wiped out one family because of the New Deal and party strife? Every person Yuan Fu has killed has... Isn’t one of them worthy of death? Tell me, is there one?”
"This is also the reason why the imperial court has the power of life and death. Do you understand? You don't understand. You only think that power comes from above."
"You just think that the imperial court has the power of life and death, and it is not in your hands."
"Your Majesty, why did Yuan Fu want to kill me? Yes, I took over the power of paying tribute to me and did whatever I wanted on the border. However, I did everything the imperial court asked me to do, and the imperial court threatened and punished me for no reason?" Wang Chonggu said slightly. He said somewhat dejectedly.
Zhang Siwei's expression changed, and he said sternly: "How can the power of life and death fall into the hands of others? Zhang Juzheng just doesn't want to kill him now! If he wants to, he can do it, why should he put his life in the hands of other people's conscience? ? Does Zhang Juzheng have a conscience?"
"Yes, why not!" Wang Chonggu immediately asked: "Gao Gong was implicated in the assassination of the king and the driving case. Is Gao Gong dead? Is the Jin Party being hunted down? Is one of the Xinzheng Party members dead? Yes? One is because Gao Gong's members were expelled from the court? There are so many officials in the court impeaching Yuan Fu, why is no one criticizing this?"
"You still don't understand why my in-law Yang Bo refuses to hand over the leader of the Jin Party to you. You don't understand."
"Assassin the king and kills the driver." Zhang Siwei calmed down and said these four words calmly.
Wang Chonggu was furious, pointed at Zhang Siwei, pointed hard, and finally without saying a word, he slowly put it down, waved his hand and said, "I'm tired, you can go back."
"Nephew, please retire." Zhang Siwei showed a successful smile. We are all in the same boat. As long as the case of assassinating Wang Jia is left here, Wang Chonggu cannot stand on Zhang Juzheng's side. Zhang Siwei did this. If there is a problem, Wang Chonggu must help him.
Zhang Siwei left.
A figure came out from behind the screen, held his hands, looked at Zhang Siwei's back, and said with a serious face: "Father, why don't you kill Zhang Siwei? He bribed Zhang Juzheng's cook, His Majesty's cook, and I, I bribed his chef."
"Ah?" Wang Chonggu was stunned when he heard this, and then blinked. It was so unexpected, but also so reasonable.
Wang Qian continued: "Before Yang Dazai left office, he had an agreement with Yuan Fu, and His Majesty knew it, so he would not casually settle this old score, kill Zhang Siwei, and assassinate the king. We will not So passive."
"He's too dangerous."
The person who spoke was Wang Chonggu's son Wang Qian. Wang Qian was doing business in the capital. In the first year of Wanli, Wang Qian was elected as a civil servant. In the second year of Wanli, Wang Qian took part in the examination. Unlike Zhang Juzheng's two sons, Wang Qian was the real one. Didn't pass the exam.
Wang Qian is a businessman, and it is Wang Qian's instinct to get the maximum benefit at the minimum cost.
This lunatic Zhang Siwei has threatened the fundamental interests of the clan party. With Zhang Siwei dead, it will be settled once and for all. Put all the blame on Zhang Siwei and clear the old accounts, so that everyone can go into battle lightly, right?
Wang Qian was definitely not a gentleman, so he directly said he wanted to kill someone.
Seeing that his father was still hesitating, Wang Qian continued to persuade him: "Father, do you have to wait until the day when the water is overflowing before you regret it?"
Before Wu Wang Fu Chai died, he definitely regretted not killing Wu Zixu, but regretting not killing Yue King Gou Jian on Kuaiji Mountain.
God and God cannot take it, but they are to blame.
"Be smart about your move." Wang Chonggu nodded solemnly and said.
"Yes." Wang Qian showed a smile. In fact, he has been making preparations. Regardless of whether his father agrees or not, Wang Qian will do this because Wang Qian himself is a victim of the nine tribes and the Yi tribe. He is on the list of the nine tribes. above.
Zhang Siwei wanted to die, Wang Chonggu didn't want to die, and Wang Qian didn't want to die even more.
"Is this?" Wang Qian picked up the calculation method on the table, looked at it for a long time, and said solemnly: "Is this a calculation example sent by the palace?"
Wang Chonggu looked at the calculation example and said with a complicated expression: "Yes, Zhang Juzheng is enough to scare people, and the little emperor was taught so well by Yuan Fu, which makes it difficult for me to agree with Zhang Siwei's approach. Your Majesty is not an idiot, Zhang Juzheng is better off alive. If he dies and Your Majesty takes charge, the situation will only be worse than it is now."
Wang Chonggu was keenly aware of the horror of the little emperor. The courtiers were so impressed that they saw the little emperor every day and didn't think anything of it. However, in Wang Chonggu's view, the emperor was a freak.
Even more terrifying than Zhang Juzheng, it is better to let Zhang Juzheng be the king. At least Zhang Juzheng cannot say: I am Deliang Youchong.
Wang Qian tried the test method and hurried to the backyard and took out the abacus. He didn't intend to get it to twenty-five decimal places. He opened it to three decimal places and stopped holding the pen and paper in his hand.
"Father." Wang Qian kept tapping his hands on the table eagerly and said, "Can I learn from the family's "Arithmetic Treasure Book"? Tishuai Zhao Mengyou brought a bunch of people to the house last time. It’s a humiliation to help us do the accounting.”
"We have been in business for generations, how can we not settle accounts? It's a shame."
When Wang Chonggu heard this, he rolled his sleeves and said, "Nonsense! What do you want to learn? Study hard and get back the Jinshi exam is the foundation!"
"That's okay, my father won't show me the arithmetic book passed down from his family, so I won't read it. They are sold in Huangzhuang!" Wang Qian said with a smile.
"You!" Wang Chonggu was so angry that stars were popping up in his eyes. His son had grown up and he no longer had control over his father. Wang Chonggu felt more and more what he was doing back in Beijing! Are you angry? !
Wang Qian wanted to learn arithmetic, but he didn't like it. He had to prepare for his second failure. He failed in the second year of Wanli and failed in the fifth year of Wanli. The eighth year of Wanli was Wang Qian's last chance.
In the Ming Dynasty, candidates could only take the exam three times. If they failed, they would not be able to take the exam again.
As for the general examination in the eighth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng will definitely take the arithmetic test. By then, Wang Qian will have to learn it even if he doesn't.
The most important thing in the entire Ming Dynasty was the imperial examination. It was really like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. But if there was a slight advantage over others, we should try our best to fight for it.
The Little Emperor's universal prescribing principle can be understood by just spending half an hour studying it. The process is so easy and simple that you can just memorize it by rote without even understanding it.
This has extremely clear practical significance. For example, if you want to accumulate 1,728 feet and want to obtain a cube, ask: the geometry of each side. Pick up the abacus and you will quickly get an answer: one foot and two feet.
For example, to calculate the area of a triangular field, you need to multiply the base by the height, and you can only measure its hypotenuse and one right-angled side. Then you can calculate it by hooking three strands, four strings, and five, and finally get the triangular field. area.
In the Quanchu Guild Hall, Zhang Juzheng held a pencil in his hand, looked at a book, and carefully studied arithmetic works from Thailand and Spain.
The number of times Wan Shihe came to the Quanchu Guild Hall was limited. The last time Wan Shihe came to the Quanchu Guild Hall was the last time. Wan Shihe said that Zhang Han recommended Wang Chonggu to return to the court, and the communication between Zhang Juzheng and Wan Shihe was not a party dispute between the court and the government. , but about Tessie’s accounting method.
Zhang Juzheng once asked Wan Shihe to take a look at the double-entry accounting method for debits and loans.
Wan Shihe has translated it. This book recording the Western accounting method is called "A Summary of Arithmetic, Geometry, Ratio and Proportion". Only the eleventh chapter of the ninth part of the third volume is about Gouji, and the rest are all Arithmetic.
Different from the accounting method of the Ming Dynasty, the accounting method that the Ming Dynasty is currently implementing is the six-book one-book accounting method for receipts and payments, that is, income and expenditure must be received and paid at the same time, and both receipts and payments must be equal.
The Thai debit and credit accounting method is more interesting. The borrower and the creditor are the same, borrowing and lending at the same time. If there is a debit, there is a credit. The debit and credit must be equal.
These two accounting methods actually talk about the same thing, which is to clearly record the ins and outs of money or property.
The Quanchu Guild Hall is always being decorated. If You Qi wants to deceive Zhang Juzheng, the owner, he will only show Zhang Juzheng an account. This account contains the account books of earth, wood, stone, labor and other materials. How much is spent on civil engineering and how much is spent on window sills? , how much the furniture cost, as long as it is reasonable, Zhang Juzheng will not see the problem.
If Zhang Juzheng didn't want to be deceived by You Qi, he had to look at another account to see how much money he gave to carpenters, bricklayers, and earthwork merchants.
And this account is not in the hands of You Qi. As the chief steward of the Quan Chu Guild Hall, You Qi doesn't have the time. He found a broker who is responsible for the decoration of the Quan Chu Guild Hall.
Zhang Juzheng actually asked You Qi to get this account from the broker's comprador, just to see the whole story.
The expenses of the Quanchu Guild Hall must be equal to the income of the agent. If they are not equal, it means that You Qi deceived Zhang Juzheng in the middle. The expenses of the agent responsible for the decoration must be equal to the income of the civil engineering and stonework. Otherwise, the decoration agent deceived Zhang Juzheng. .
The decoration cost a total of 7,600 taels of silver. Zhang Juzheng discovered that You Qi had deducted 300 taels of silver from the decoration of the Quanchu Guild Hall, and the broker and comprador made 1,200 taels of silver from the Quanchu Guild Hall.
"Get up, you have followed me for so many years, don't let there be a next time." Zhang Juzheng looked at You Qi who was kneeling on the ground, but he was not angry at all.
When the water is clear, there will be no fish. Zhang Juzheng has always believed in following the officials. If he can get things done, then that is the first priority. You Qi took three hundred taels, which is really not much in terms of project deductions. Ying Tianfu Yin Gu Zhangzhi It cost 480,000 taels to dredge the waterway in Nanya, but Gu Zhangzhi directly embezzled 300,000 taels.
How much did Yan Song's son Yan Shifan get from supervising the construction of Xiyuan? Xu Jie's son Xu Fan supervised the construction of Yongshou Palace, and how much did he take away?
Empress Dowager Li's father Wu Qingbo Li Wei supervised the construction of the late emperor's tomb, and how much money did he take away?
"You Qi, my wealth and life are all on you. If you take some money from me, that's what you deserve for following me. But if you take money from elsewhere, you will be held accountable." Zhang Juzheng said calmly. said.
"That cook is a bait. Let me know this to my husband!" You Qi looked anxious and wanted to kneel down again but his husband wouldn't let him. He explained with a weird posture and sweating on his head: "I never took it from elsewhere. Silver."
"Get up, I know the Jin Clan doesn't want to kneel down anymore. It's better for our Chu Clan not to kneel down." Zhang Juzheng signaled You Qi to get up and reply, and continued: "Do you remember? Feng Daxuan came with a pencil to announce the decree before. He actually rejected my offer of salt, and when Yang Bo found out about it, he was very impressed."
"I have never said anything about this. The reason why Feng Daxuan refused to take money from me is because he belongs to His Majesty. Do you understand the difference?"
You Qi thought for a moment and said, "I understand, you don't have to do anything if you take the money, but if you don't say anything about the money, you will have second thoughts."
"Yes! You really understood it." Zhang Juzheng Yile said: "You still remember Li Le's old story, right? I thought I had seen Li Le wrong, and Li Le came to tell me, so he is still the doorman of the guild hall. .”
"There is news from the palace, saying that there is no need to come to the court for discussion tomorrow. Let Yuan Fu take the court officials directly to the Hubu Yamen to see the silver being put into the warehouse." You Qi said with a puzzled face: "Your Majesty's words are just good. It depends on whether the money is a bit..."
Zhang Juzheng said slightly angrily after hearing this: "You want to say that I am mercenary, right? This is what I told Your Majesty when I was giving a banquet today! You also want to say that I am mercenary, right?"
"Seeing is believing! As the emperor's master, I can't teach His Majesty to be ignorant of grains and money. If you really are, it makes me angry!"
The little emperor just hit him with a boomerang every day, but You Qi also hit him with a boomerang!
How unreasonable!
Emperor Jiajing's biggest dislike for Yan Dang was that Yan Dang took more than Emperor Jiajing. Emperor Longqing lived a luxurious life. Zhang Juzheng repeatedly advised and persuaded him, and he disobeyed his superiors more than once. In the first year of Longqing, Emperor Longqing asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to take three Zhang Juzheng repeatedly submitted memorials and negotiated the price to 100,000 taels. Starting from the second year of Longqing, Zhang Juzheng submitted memorials for four consecutive years. Aoshan fireworks were too popular and it was not appropriate to reward him too heavily.
A hundred thousand talents can be performed for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
By the end of the sixth year of Longqing, Zhang Juzheng gradually discovered the key to the problem. Emperor Jiajing knew very well how much three million taels of silver cost, but Emperor Longqing had no concept of money at all. In the eyes of the emperor, money was just a number, nothing. specific meaning.
How terrible is this? The clerk who is advising farmers to grow mulberry trees cannot distinguish between grains, so why should they be advised to farm mulberry trees?
As the top second generation emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng really hopes that His Majesty will know the huge amount of money piled up there.
Therefore, Zhang Juzheng suggested that the young emperor see with his own eyes the concept of 3.25 million taels. That is 203,125 kilograms, which is the weight of fifteen Ruyi golden hoops.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Yijun finished his breakfast with excitement and said excitedly: "Mother, the baby has finished eating! Let's go see the silver being put into storage!"
"Run slowly! We just had dinner!" Queen Mother Li shouted helplessly as she looked at the hurried figure of the little emperor.
After Zhu Yijun finished speaking, he ran out as fast as lightning. The little emperor who practiced martial arts had really fast legs and feet. Zhang Hong was a little better. Feng Bao led a group of honor guards and really wanted to shout loudly: Your Majesty, slow down, money is not good. Grow wings and fly away!
Zhu Yijun slowed down. He ran to Chengtian Gate now just to embarrass Ti Qi. The emperor had not arrived yet. The emperor must open the palace gate when he arrived, but Ti's commander Zhao Mengyou violated the palace rules. When the time comes, the imperial court will announce Officer, I’m going to vent my nagging again.
The sun shines in the palace city for the first time, and it shines on the palms of the sunshade, gently shaking out a few rays of rays. The autumn morning mist is colorful under the sunlight, and the morning mist is like a dream. Next to Zhu Yijun, the emperor's yellow robe embroidered with dragons seemed to be alive, billowing and floating in the mist.
The sun has just come and the fairy palms are moving, and the cigarettes are about to float next to the dragon.
Zhu Yijun walked out of the Huangji Gate and came to the Hubu Yamen. He saw a silver cart coming from the east. The people responsible for escorting the silver into Beijing were Luo Bingliang, the tax collector, and Songjiang deputy general Chen Lin. Box after box of silver came from On the long silver cart, they were continuously carried into the Yamen of the Ministry of Revenue.
A box of four thousand taels of silver, two hundred and fifty kilograms, and more than a thousand boxes were neatly placed in the courtyard.
The deposit box was the standard for escorting silver in the Ming Dynasty. Just like the ton on the ship was a unit of volume and gradually turned into a unit of weight, it was the rule not to deposit silver in the deposit box. In other words, when Tiqi and Nanya troops were escorted into Beijing, The stake is the box, not the money.
There are seals on the security box, and each seal has the seals and seals of Governor Songjiang, Governor Yingtian, Nanjing Bingbei Eunuch, and Songjiang Admiral's ministers.
When the first box was opened, everyone's expression changed drastically. There was only half a box of silver inside, and the rest was filled with tin and zinc ingots!
"What's going on?!" Wan Shihe pointed to the first custody box and said in horror. The same was true for the other courtiers. Half of the boxes of silver escorted to the capital were tin and zinc ingots. This is a huge amount of money. Beheaded!
Emperor Ming, Yuan Fu, Da Situ, Luo Bingliang, and Chen Lin all looked calm. They knew clearly that half of the box contained tin and zinc ingots.
"Wan Shangshu! I asked you to study more, but you still don't want to learn arithmetic. 3.25 million cannot be divisible by 4000. The number is 812.5 boxes. Half of the boxes must be tin and zinc ingots!" Zhu Yijun exhaled and looked at Wan Shi He Yu said earnestly.
Wan Shihe suddenly realized.
If he didn't understand, he asked Ge Shouli and said doubtfully, "That's not right. There are more than a thousand boxes here. Isn't this an extra two hundred?"
Wang Guoguang saw that Ge Shouli was really unclear and said with a smile: "There is no money in the deposit box. No one knows what is in it. The sergeants just thought it was a sea navigation test."
"I see, that's it, I don't understand." Ge Shouli openly admitted that he didn't understand. It's not a shame to not understand. If you don't understand, you can learn. You can figure it out. If you don't understand, you can pretend to understand. If you don't understand, you can pretend to understand. Pretending not to understand is abominable.
"Open the rest." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and asked the Tiqi to open all the boxes.
Of the 1,000 deposit boxes, 812.5 are silver, and the rest are not all tin and zinc ingots. They are silk that is more valuable than silver.
Lingluo silk and satin are four kinds of silk fabrics. They are not only a precious progression, but also a true portrayal of the development of the times. Among them, the most precious is satin, and the cheapest is damask. Damask is the oldest silk fabric and was available during the time of Lei Zu, while Luo appeared during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Silk can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty, while satin appeared no earlier than the Southern Song Dynasty and was a craft only available in the Yuan Dynasty.
When Legasil entered the Ming Dynasty, in order to show his identity, he wore damask. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty's raw silk ban was implemented very smoothly, because the raw silk was given to Taixi Hongmaofan, which was really a waste.
"Your Majesty." Wang Guoguang said tentatively.
Zhu Yijun immediately said: "No need to talk."
"Your Majesty." Wang Guoguang spoke in a low voice again: "How about some silk for the Ministry of Finance?"
Feng Bao's expression changed drastically, and he immediately said loudly: "Da Situ is our Ming Dynasty's Ming Gong, how can he be so mercenary! The official of the Ministry of Science and Technology knows about it, and he is going to report it again! This is from weaving last year in order to satisfy the Western maritime trade. What was advanced by the bureau is returned to the capital this time! This is His Majesty's silk!"
Wang Guoguang continued to argue: "Your Majesty won't need so much, so it's a loan from the Ministry of Revenue."
The official uniforms of the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty all wore Chiluo Qingyuan, which is a kind of Luo. In the past few years, the household department was so poor that they exchanged all the silk for silver. Now that silk fabrics are exported to the sea, the court has money, but cannot buy them. As for silk, the Ming Dynasty's silk goods are only in the hands of the emperor, and the Weaving Bureau still owes the emperor last year.
"The officials can use cotton cloth." Feng Bao said still unwillingly.
Wan Shihe also echoed: "The cotton cloth has been used for a long time. It is really unseemly and undermines the majesty of the court."
Ge Shouli glanced at Hai Rui and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Hai Zongxian's official uniform is made of cotton. Can we moisturize it as appropriate?"
Tan Lun thought about it and said in agreement: "Some time ago, when Chen Xuexue left the post, he was cursing. The postman asked why the minister of Honglu Temple was so rude. Chen Xuexue didn't tell me, so I went to ask. Chen Xuecai told his ministers that Li Yazhi asked: Ming Dynasty is a country of silk, why do all the officials wear cotton clothes?"
"Chen Xuexue couldn't answer, so he became a little angry."
Daming Palace Posthouse is affiliated to the Ministry of War. During the exchange and communication between Chen Xuexue and Li Yashi, Li Yashi poked his lungs. Shouldn't you have as much Ming Dynasty silk and satin as you should? You, a high-ranking official, why do you wear cotton?
Wang Chonggu didn't understand, so he didn't express his position.
"Yuan Fu, say something." Lu Tiaoyang gently touched Zhang Juzheng and reminded him in a low voice.
"Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng didn't know what to say when he opened his mouth. It was a bit excessive to force the palace for a few bolts of silk, but it was true that silk was needed, and at the moment, only His Majesty had it.
"Sir, sir, let's share some of it. Da Situ, we agreed that we have to buy it with silver." Zhu Yijun stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the silver in so many boxes, and then disposed of it.
want to? Take your money and buy it!
The Ming Emperor was only interested in profit!
"It's okay to buy it." Wang Guoguang considered it for a while and said with confidence: "How about buying it at a fair price?"
"Then why not just sell it to Hong Maofan?" Feng Bao immediately asked, "It's all for sale. The emperor sold it to Antonio, the captain of Taixi. Didn't he make more money? If you say it's a fair price, it's a fair price." If sold to a red-haired fan, on average, the profit would be twelve taels of silver per horse!
Wang Guoguang immediately counterattacked: "The red-haired fan is not your Majesty's minister!"
Feng Bao and Wang Guangguang began to argue with each other. Both of them were scholars. The argument was all about quoting scriptures and never gave in. One wanted parity, the other wanted market price. You came back and forth with me, arguing. How lively!
The noisy Wang Chonggu was stunned!
The Ming Dynasty's Duke Ming and the eunuchs were quarreling over the price of silk. Wang Chonggu had never seen this scene before.
Zhu Yijun interrupted the quarrel between Feng Bao and Wang Guoguang, and said helplessly: "Okay, okay! Stop arguing! If you are quarreling like this over some silk, let's negotiate the price."
The little emperor is a rare generous person. He is happy to make money. Money is water, and water must move to be living water. Power should be regarded as a reward. After all, according to the old system of Jiajing in the past eight years, not only official uniforms, but also ear warmers, All use silk.
A little Huangmen ran over in a hurry. When he crossed the threshold, he fell down. Xiao Huangmen's acting skills were excellent. The fall was very smooth and smooth. He turned over and then knelt down steadily. On the ground, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Siwei, who is in charge of Zhanshi Mansion, has been carried into Jiecuyuan!"
"Ah?! Come on, come on, go and have a look!" Zhu Yijun was overjoyed when he heard that, and then realized that it shouldn't be this emotion, so he looked sad, but soon realized that he had been showing he disliked Zhang Siwei, and immediately changed A beaming expression.
This round of expression changes was extremely exciting, and it fell into the eyes of Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng was also extremely helpless and was the disciple he taught.
Changing faces faster than flipping through a book!
Gou Jian attacked the state of Wu twice. The first time he negotiated peace and spared Fu Chai, but the second time he fought again. Gou Jian only said that Fu Chai would be exiled, but Fu Chai committed suicide due to the humiliation. Therefore, in the long history, not many people accused Gou Jian of being unjust regarding Fu Cha. This allusion comes from Ma Qian of the Taishi Company. If you have any objections, you can ask Sima Qian for details. Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! !
