Chapter 588 The people awaken and support the national heroes!

Although Daming no longer judges meritorious service according to the first level, the purpose is to prevent killing good men and false meritorious service.

But during this expedition to Luzon, the emperor had a special request, which was to bring these heads back to Beijing to build a temple to offer sacrifices to Huangshan and other soldiers and civilians who were massacred.

Because the crimes of Xiyi in the Huangshan incident were publicized to the extent that the whole people knew, as an emperor, he had to show something, otherwise it would be enough to satisfy public opinion.

Therefore, the expeditionary Ming army will transport the heads back box by box.

As more and more heads were exposed to the sun, almost covering the entire port, many soldiers and people present became more and more excited, as if seeing many big fish caught ashore.

But some people's complexions gradually became more and more gloomy.

At this moment, Gu Xiancheng fell directly to the ground.

Gu Yuncheng opened his mouth and said, "Brother, it seems that he really won a big victory!"

"It should be said that it is true!"

"Brother, you should become a monk. Your ambitions and ambitions are destined to be unrealized. It is better to be born in the world and only study the world from now on."

Gu Yuncheng continued talking at this moment.

After speaking, Gu Yuncheng realized that Gu Xiancheng had fainted on the ground, and asked someone to help him out of here.

The news that Master Wang had indeed returned in victory spread like wildfire.

Many powerful bureaucrats of the old party who were unwilling to admit it also had to admit the facts, and had to chase after buying subscription tickets with tears in their eyes.

boom!

"How could the officers and soldiers be so cruel, killing so many Xiyi, is this in line with benevolence?!"

"Although Xiyi slaughtered the Chinese who stayed in Luzon, we can't be unkind, and we will follow suit. The people of Shenwu County and Qi Penglai are extremely hypocritical, extremely hypocritical!"

Li Fei, a wealthy businessman from Penghu who participated in the burning of 30 shi of military food, was furious because of this. He smashed a lot of porcelain in his home, and then blamed the Ming army who conquered Luzon, and even Shen Shixing, who was in power, Qi Jiguang also scolded.

only because.

Now Li Fei had to face the reality that the route from Luzon to Daming was controlled by the Ming court, and the trade transshipment from Luzon to Daming was no longer controlled by Xiyi but controlled by Daming.

And once the trade routes are controlled by Daming, even if Daming's own powerful bureaucrats don't see the interests of these two businessmen, they only need to sell goods to traders in the country, but there are many ordinary merchants in Daming who are willing to be traders.

Therefore, at this moment, Li Fei, a wealthy businessman who originally monopolized the business of transporting goods to Luzon because of his good relationship with Xiyi, had to face the reality that other Ming merchants came to grab this business.

Li Fei was also very angry, and he could only vent that killing Xiyi was inhumane.

Li Fei was furious, so he had to tell his son Li Hai, "Sell all the land!"

Li Hai couldn't help asking: "Why sell the land?"

"Maritime trade is completely controlled by the imperial court, so it is naturally convenient for more small people to go to sea for trade, and more people will naturally be willing to go to sea for trade. So, how many people are willing to rent land?"

"Unless the tenant rent continues to be reduced, it can continue to be reduced, then what's the point of collecting land rent, it's better to invest in subscription coupons!"

Li Fei said impatiently: "Go and do it!"

"Yes!"

Luzon's military victory caused a surge in subscription coupons, and many landowners were forced to transform and sell their land to raise funds to buy subscription coupons.

The reason is also very simple.

The victory of the military campaign against Luzon meant that the cake was getting bigger, and the landlords were scrambling to grab more of the new cake, so they had to abandon the old cake that was no longer tasteless.

This has greatly improved the situation of land annexation.

There has been a substantial increase in the number of owner-peasants.

The benefit brought about by the large number of homesteaders is a large increase in taxes.

anyway.

It is still much easier to collect taxes from self-cultivating farmers than to collect taxes from powerful officials and gentry, because powerful officials and gentry always have their own ways to avoid and evade taxes.

At the same time, the large increase in self-cultivating farmers has also increased the flow of grain and the scale of consumption.

After all, ordinary self-cultivating farmers are unable to hoard a large amount of grain. After all, the management cost of hoarding grain is very high. They can only sell a large amount of grain that cannot be eaten and exchange it for silver dollars as soon as they are harvested.

Zhu Yijun was also very happy after knowing this incident, and became more diligent because of this.

This is the nature of human beings. Only when the feedback of what you do becomes more and more positive, you will be more and more motivated to continue working hard.

If you work hard and the things you get don't meet the deadline, they will naturally be put on badly, or even the table will be overturned.

"Old General Deng originally asked to resign and return to his hometown. It should be because of his serious injuries. He just wanted to go back to his hometown to see his family and hometown again, and then return to his roots. of."

"Since Old General Deng doesn't know how long he will have, let's break the rules for him and specially designate him as Ding Haibo, hereditary, so that he can know that he has not fought for the country in vain before his death!"

"In addition, because of his injury, he specially ordered Fujian to build sixteen patriarchal patriarchs, select sixteen old Taoist bearers, and once he arrives in Yuegang, he will be carried back to Beijing to receive rewards! All the government offices along the way will be responsible for clearing the streets and dredging traffic. Prepare good medicine for doctors! To ensure that the old general returns to his hometown in Nanchang, and the Jiangxi Fuyong treasury will immediately repair the mansion according to the earl's specifications!"

Therefore, Zhu Yijun even personally intervened in the matter of showing favor to Deng Zilong.

The privy envoy Qi Jiguang bowed his hands and said yes, and after he retired from the court, he smiled and said to Shen Shixing who was with him: "If the minister is not loyal, how can the king be kind?"

"Now that Lu Song has won a great victory, because of the loyal ministers, His Majesty is more benevolent than Yao and Shun! I am afraid that in the future, it is not only Old General Deng who dares to be the pillar of Ming Dynasty again!"

"Yes! I hope Old General Deng can persist until the arrival of Emperor En."

Shen Shixing replied with a smile.

"Will do!"

"Not only can he wait until his personal emperor's favor is promulgated, but I believe he can wait until Lu Song recovers to promulgate the emperor's grace to the world. After all, how dare the king of hell let the old general know that the emperor's grace is not alive, unless he is not afraid that his majesty will make the old general die in the future. Quantai commanded a hundred thousand to kill him!"

Qi Jiguang said solemnly.

Shen Shixing nodded and smiled: "Prince Shu is very right!"

……

After Ye Mengxiong, the governor of Fujian, received the order to prepare the walking carriage, he immediately selected carpenters to build the walking carriage and asked his subordinates to recruit good bearers immediately.

When Ye Mengxiong saw that his officials had not done this for a long time, he couldn't help but question his official Zuo Buzheng Wang Panlai:

"What's going on? Is it because there are no carpenters in Fujian? Why haven't you done this for so long?"

Wang Pan then said: "The reason for this is that the chief secretary is not doing his job well. It is because there are too many carpenters and bearers to apply for, and it is difficult to select for a while."

After hearing this, Ye Mengxiong rushed to the Chief Secretary's Yamen.

Then, he saw a lot of people surrounded here, many of them were carrying the poles and ropes for carrying the sedan chair, and the ink fountain and push plate for making the step, and even scholars and monks.

"My lord! We have carried the sedan chair for Nan Sima Wu Gong for 30 years. Although we are old now, we can carry people over the mountains without shaking the sedan chair at all, so let us carry the old general back to his hometown!"

"My lord, let's carry it. I have great strength. I used to carry Zheng to observe and go back to his hometown by water. When the boat wobbled, the sedan chair I carried didn't even wobble!"

"My lord, let us carry it, we are younger and stronger!"

……

It turned out that under the influence of the propaganda of these new rituals, many scholars and people began to worship national heroes. After hearing that an old general like Deng Zilong who had made great contributions to the country was granted a favor by the emperor, he could take a 16-man carriage back to his hometown and recruit bearers. At that time, many people rushed to apply, and begged the government for a chance to bring the hero back to their hometown.

Seeing this, Ye Mengxiong's eyes turned red.

　Today is busy on Friday, so there will be no third shift, let’s strive for the third shift tomorrow
