Chapter 327 Kneeling Statue
Daming was really changing, and the atmosphere began to change from conservative to open.
The commodity economy began to spread from Jiangnan to Jiangbei, and even now spread to Jiangbei.
Especially after the promulgation of the tax-free quota order to encourage customs clearance, coupled with the fact that Liaodong military households paid more than before, and the Ming Dynasty did not reduce the battalion, the consumption demand outside the customs surged, and a large number of small traders began to bring cheap goods out of the customs.
Many town markets began to appear in the Liaodong area outside the customs.
"Pooh!"
"The imperial court is so good now, and the emperor still exempts small merchants and hawkers from customs. Why do they still want to pass barbarians, and want to change to a barbarian to be the monarch?"
Shanhaiguan made Hu Huaide, the general manager, and his family bring some coarse silk from Huzhou that people in the south of the Yangtze River disliked, and sold it, which made a lot of money.
And when he was arranged to study intensively in the academy, after seeing the kneeling statues of Tongyi traitors, he couldn't help but spit at these kneeling statues.
After spitting on these kneeling statues, Hu Huaide proudly glanced at the military medals on his body, and then he continued to listen to the chief of praise arranged by the patrol to explain the details of these passers-by to himself and others.
and then.
He also understood better why so many people hated Zhang Juzheng, to the point where the court would rather help foreigners grow stronger than to liquidate Zhang Juzheng.
After hearing this, Hu Huaide couldn't help but clenched his fists even more, knowing which civil servants are worthy of respect among the civil servants.
Qianzong Li Juexian, who was stationed in Dongying Dacuncheng, and other middle- and lower-level civil and military officials stationed in Dongying, also under the auspices of Dongying Governor Song Yingchang, studied the criticisms written by various Hanlins in the Imperial Academy to help foreigners grow stronger but also damage the country's future. Wrong thought article.
And because of this, Li Juexian knew that those who dared to oppose the imperial court's expansion of territory had already opposed it to such an extent that they did not hesitate to collude with foreign barbarians!
Because the Wa country is now in an era of war, and Oda Nobunaga was about to unify the Wa country, and the war ended, but the change of Honnoji Temple occurred, so the Wa country became even more chaotic.
Therefore, in today's Japanese archipelago, only Dongying, which has been occupied by Ming Dynasty, that is, the Matsuura Peninsula of Kyushu in the former Japanese Kingdom, is calm and orderly, and even affected by the more frequent trade exchanges after Ming took possession of Dongying, it is even richer than before!
A large number of Japanese from other places fled to Dongying, and even many Japanese dignitaries, that is, some daimyos, chose to come to Dongying after losing the hegemony to avoid the limelight. live.
and even.
There are also many Japanese nobles who also took the initiative to sell the Japanese here for profit, especially the Japanese women.
Because many officers and soldiers of the Ming army were stationed in Dongying, and a large number of Ming merchants gathered, there was a strong demand for slaves, especially for maidservants.
The officers and soldiers of the Ming army were very resistant to being stationed in the Japanese country at first, and they all thought that Dongying was a barren land, and many also thought that the Japanese were as fierce and good at fighting as many literati in the south of the Yangtze River advertised, so they were very resistant to stationing in the Japanese country.
to this end.
Zhu Yijun had no choice but to decree that all officers and soldiers stationed in Dongying should be paid twice, so that the officers and soldiers of the Ming army did not cause some officers and soldiers to mutiny because of being stationed in Dongying.
But after the officers and soldiers of the Ming army came to Dongpu, they realized that this place is really fragrant!
Not to mention that the upper-level officials feel that this place is very fragrant, even the grass-roots officials and ordinary Ming soldiers feel that it is really fragrant because there are a large number of cheap Japanese slaves in Dongying, who can raise many outsiders and Japanese slaves, and live the life of a master.
Li Juexian exchanged a piece of cotton cloth for three young and beautiful Japanese women to go home to serve him.
He even imitated other officers and soldiers when they were sent to the Japanese country for the second time, and brought a lot of cheap goods to the Japanese country in advance in exchange for the cheap labor of the Japanese people.
It can be said.
Since the trade with Japan monopolized by the great clans in the south of the Yangtze River and the Japanese daimyo of Kyushu was snatched by the Ming court through military warfare and released to all military and civilian trade convenience, ordinary officers and soldiers and Han people also began to rely on the two places. gap in productivity between people, leading to higher incomes and a better quality of life.
Therefore, Li Juexian does not want the imperial court to return to the previous conservative state of defense-oriented, not to mention not being able to enjoy the days of masters, and sometimes the key salary is not enough.
Originally from a military family in Zhejiang, he especially remembers the scene of a duel with the invading Japanese pirates while hungry.
And thinking of this, Li Juexian said to Zhang Guozhong, who was also the commander of the cavalry in Japan the next day: "Now you know why our Qi Shuai wants to worship under the grand master's sect?"
Zhang Guozhong nodded, and glanced at the tall and tall Qi Jiguang statue standing in Hirado Port, knelt down and kowtowed, and then said:
"The civil servant is Zhang Taishi, and the general is Qi Shuai. The new policy of this dynasty has started to make life easier for us military households!"
"I have to kowtow to him!"
"If one day, Qi Shuai wants to raise troops to defend the New Deal, my brother will tell me that even though I am not his old subordinate, I am willing to fight for the New Deal. This dynasty should be like the Han and Tang Dynasties, letting soldiers die in the opening of the territory On the battlefield, instead of hanging around like a beggar inside the side wall, even if you want to be bloody for a while, you can only fight the Tartars after the civil servants are kind enough to reward you with food!"
"Shen Hanlin is right in what he said in the "Military Daily". The key point is that His Majesty is willing to be the hero of the universe!"
"We have to make the emperor willing to be like the emperor of Han and Tang!"
Li Jue said first.
Zhang Guozhong said: "Exactly!"
"Since the statues of Qi Shuai and Yu Shuai were erected in various ports, there have been a lot of evil dragons on the sea. Therefore, many places have begun to erect their statues and shrines, even the mirrors and chicken coops have begun to be erected. If His Majesty orders more statues of generals to be erected in Zhenhai, we will be less afraid of monsters and flood dragons on the sea, I am afraid that it will be easier to open up the sea, and it will be even more difficult for those treacherous officials and thieves who do not want us to live a good life!"
"You said, will we have a chance to be set up here?"
Li Jue said first, then suddenly looked at Qi Jiguang's statue and asked, and kowtowed.
Zhang Guozhong didn't say anything after hearing this, but his eyes were full of yearning for achievements.
Song Yingchang, the governor of Dongying in Ming Dynasty, and Fu Zuozhou, a student of Dongying, were being served by Japanese slaves. While enjoying a massage indoors, they also looked at the statue of Qi Jiguang on the busy Nagasaki port very fascinatedly, and talked.
"I have asked for permission to set up regulations on the distinction between Han people and Dongyi people, and provide special preferential treatment and legal protection for Han people in Dongyi, so that more Han people are willing to come and settle here, which will benefit our long-term enlightenment of this area. Land, after all, our foundation here, including safety, depends on the Han people who are here! The more Han people here, the better we can control the Japanese!"
At this time, Song Yingchang told Fu Zuozhou about setting up regulations for the protection of Han people in Dongyun.
"Sure! I'm also going to ask the imperial court to only allow me Ming people to own land and shops in Dongxun, so that in the future the imperial court will not be able to abandon this place even if they want to!"
Fu Zuozhou agreed.
He didn't hope that the property he bought when he was an official here would one day have to be abandoned due to the contraction of the imperial court's strategy, so he wanted to tie the interests of more Han nobles and wealthy households here.
After the ruling level of the Ming Dynasty began to expand externally, it did indeed drive local bureaucrats and Haoyou to expand their interests externally.
Especially the bureaucrats who went to work outside, they began to find that being an official in the Jiaohua District was more free and easier to make money than in the country, and it was easier to make meritorious service.
……
"Should we open more branches and go directly to Liaodong, Busan and even Dongxun?"
"The demand for cotton cloth outside the customs is too great now!"
"Especially now that the Green Battalion has been established, it is estimated that the number of Jurchens and Mongols living on military pay will increase a lot, and the number of people buying cotton cloth will definitely increase!"
"The other thing is North Korea. I sent someone to inquire about their weaving skills. They can't compare with us at all!"
"They can only spin three spindles, but in this dynasty, not to mention that we can already spin yarn with dozens of spindles on one machine, even ordinary weavers can hold five spindles at the same time, and their mixers actually need two People, we ordinary people in Jiangnan only need one person to make a mixer, so our cotton cloth must be cheaper than their own cotton cloth, and they will take away their money."
"Then there is Dongying. According to my second uncle, several of his colleagues in the Sixth Division, under the direction of Yuanfu, headed by Li Yutian (Li Hualong) from Huke, planned a joint venture to open mines in Dongying for the benefit of education, and to recruit When the Han people went to mine, we Han mastered the skills and supervised the workers, and the Japanese contributed, so there would definitely be many Han slaves there, and since they kept slaves, they would definitely buy cotton clothes for their slaves.”
Even domestic people have begun to think about making progress abroad.
So on this day, Wang Changgeng proposed to Liu Quexian to expand the industry outside.
Liu Quexian glanced at him after hearing this: "Let's open it! As long as there are many buyers of cloth, we don't have to worry about our multi-spindle spinning machines affecting ordinary villagers. As for the weavers from outside barbarians, naturally we don't bother to think about them."
but.
It is still difficult for the big landlords who are accustomed to elevating the imperial court by colluding with foreign barbarians to monopolize trade, and letting the Han people in the country only depend on themselves as slaves. It is still difficult to fully transform.
When Wang Xijue arrived in Guangzhou, the city of Guangzhou was very quiet, and not many officials and gentry came to greet him.
It was only after entering the city that Wang Xijue, who hadn't had time to inspect Haiphong, was invited to Lin's private garden by Lin Bin, governor of Guangdong, and Zhang Huisheng, a great gentry in Guangdong who had served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials.
"The public doesn't know that sea trade is just a livelihood for the small people along the coast, and there is not much profit to be made!"
Lin Bin said something first.
Zhang Huisheng also said: "That's right, but since the Lord is here, why don't we local villagers lead the Lord to appreciate the historical sites in Lingnan?"
After hearing this, Wang Xijue smiled and said: "Okay, let's go to Huizhou tomorrow morning to admire Mr. Dongpo's relics and write poems to reminisce about the past! Let the children of all families come and let the servants get to know each other."
All the officials and gentry thought that Wang Xijue wanted to take bribes, and according to the amount of bribes, they arranged for their children to be officials, so they really brought their children to Huizhou with Wang Xijue.
But as soon as they arrived at the Yamen of Huizhou Prefecture, these officials and gentry had just gathered together and sat down, Wang Xijue asked: "If my servant insists on patrolling the maritime trade, I wonder if you are willing to cooperate?"
"Then don't you want to see where this is?"
Zhang Huisheng suddenly asked with a sneer.
Wang Xijue also chuckled, and suddenly changed his color, and shouted: "Take down all those who obstruct the great cause of the imperial court's reform!"
