Li Dongyang was stunned by Yang Ling's words. At this moment, even he, even in front of his colleagues and friends, would not dare to comment on Eight Tigers and Jiao Fang so unscrupulously. Was he crazy to speak so bluntly in front of himself?
Li Dongyang's face was cloudy and cloudy, and after a while he chuckled and said: "Master Yang said so, aren't you afraid that the people in the inner court and Jiao Dashi will turn against you?"
Yang Ling chuckled, and said: "Scholar Li is not afraid of being regarded as a villain who spreads rumors, slanders and sows dissension, just say that he knows it."
Li Dongyang was stunned, and suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed. Yang Ling looked at each other with a smile: Since the two were talking in a dark room, no matter how they confessed their hearts, it is impossible for these words to be spread as evidence to affect their reputation and official authority. Yang Ling can be open and honest, and Li Dongyang naturally doesn't have to have any scruples.
Sure enough, Li Dongyang smiled happily, stroked his palms and said: "To this day, I can still hear such hearty words, especially from Mr. Yang, which really surprises me. What is the purpose of Mr. Yang's visit today? Please tell me frankly." Sue."
Yang Ling smiled and said: "The principle of righteousness, in the final analysis, is nothing more than benefit. This benefit can be divided into the benefit of the country, the benefit of the common people, and the benefit of the individual. I came to pay my respects to your lord today because I want to benefit the court. The people seek profit."
Li Dongyang stared at him and said, "What does Master Yang say?"
Yang Ling took a long breath, and said: "The official came back from Jiangnan, and deeply felt that Jiangnan has been rich and prosperous since ancient times, and it is no longer possible to make progress only by relying on fields. Although there are many merchants in Jiangnan, the exquisite things are only affordable by gentry and rich people everywhere. Restricted by this, the common people have limited benefits.
Furthermore, the Japanese pirates were rampant along the coast. Although they did not become a serious problem, the people of the Ming Dynasty were often disturbed by them. The imperial court stationed heavy troops along the coast and passively defended everywhere, but it was impossible to defend against it. It started because of the sea ban.
The lower officials believe that if the trade ban is lifted, the root cause of the Japanese pirates will be eliminated, there will be no place for illegal smugglers, the court can increase a large amount of taxes, and the people of Li can also benefit from it, so why not do it? "
Li Dongyang was greatly astonished. He only thought that Yang Ling was now in power and wanted to make some political achievements to establish his prestige, but he did not expect him to choose such a difficult path.
Lifting the ban on trade may not be a good medicine without flaws, but compared to banning the sea and banning business, it has many benefits. He has presided over the government for many years and stood at the top. The joints are naturally clear, but the implementation of this policy is full of resistance from the government and the opposition .
Even though he and Liu Xie were in charge of the government and won the trust of Emperor Hongzhi, they knew that if they tried hard and thanklessly to persuade the emperor to lift the ban on trade, they would end up getting burned.
Li Dongyang and Liu Xie discussed government affairs in private, thinking about the intricate joints in the sea ban, they couldn't help shaking their heads, thinking that the lifting of the sea ban was far away.
Although they are practical and capable ministers, they never imagined that after more than 50 years, the complete lifting of the sea ban would become a top priority, and with the unanimous support of all parties in the ruling and opposition parties, it was successfully implemented by the Ming court. , The effect of taking a step back is really a world of difference, and it was already a bit late by then.
Li Dongyang lowered his eyes, gently raised his cup to his lips, and fell silent.
Yang Ling knew that he still had to digest his own words, and even guessed his true intentions, so he waited quietly without urging him. After a long while, Li Dongyang took a sip of tea, put down his cup and smiled, "Master Yang thinks that calming the sea, strengthening the country and enriching the people, lifting the ban on the sea is a good medicine that must be cured?"
Yang Ling said sincerely: "My lord, there are naturally more than one way to strengthen the country and enrich the people, but lifting the ban on trade is a good way. The sea is lying there, and the sea line stretches for thousands of miles. It is always difficult to stop the trade between China and foreign countries.
The beheading of the builders of the two-masted ship can only kill the people of Ming Dynasty, and the sea ban can only ban the people of Ming Dynasty. As the saying goes, relying on mountains to eat mountains and relying on water to drink water, the ocean is like a cornucopia. Because of the Japanese pirates' rebellion, the money tree was abandoned.
? How is the current rampant Japanese pirates compared to the beginning of the sea ban? It's getting bigger and bigger. Where the interests of various industries lie, they are pirates. Where the interests of good people lie, they also go to sea to become pirates. Your Excellency has been in the cabinet for many years, so the old ones are all over the world.
It is a crime to force a good man to become a thief, and it is a meritorious service to kill a Japanese to defend against the enemy. It is common for coastal officials to treat a deer as a horse and cover up the facts. Bandits and merchants are the same people, and they both come here for profit. If the market is open, the bandits will turn into merchants, and if the market is banned, the merchants will turn into bandits. If the sea ban is not lifted for a day, the disaster will always exist.
Today, the tribute trade is limited to the imperial court, so it is private business.Nei ordered: "Go, go to the east of the city and visit the rice store."
The bearer didn't know what the master meant when he came out of the university scholar's mansion and went shopping around the grain shops all over the city, so he thought to himself:
Could it be that the Grand Scholars ran out of food? Maybe, I heard that Li Dashi is an upright official, with a family of hundreds of people, and the court's salary is low, seeing the cold weather, it would be miserable enough to run out of food. But my master knocked the door a little bit, why can't I give sweet potatoes to others, can I eat that thing for a whole winter?
They wanted to return home, but they didn't dare to speak out. They lifted Yang Ling and strode towards Beicheng District. The sedan chair creaked leisurely to Beicheng, turned into the dilapidated slums, and finally found a rice store. A man dressed as a servant who accompanied him waved his hand, and the sedan chair stopped.
He looked around vigilantly, beckoned the brothers to disperse, then walked to the side of the sedan chair and whispered: "My lord, the grain and oil store is here."
Yang Ling had fallen asleep leaning on the sedan chair mat. He stayed in Xuelimei's room last night, this little girl has the most tricks in the boudoir, and has always been the most courageous, yesterday she became bolder somehow, and she shyly wanted to serve in the back court when she couldn't bear to ask for it.
It seems that Xue Limei has also made preparations. She has learned the recipes from the planting flower shop, and cleaned and lubricated with lard mixed with essential oil extracted from almonds. In the gully of people, a watery daisy is fragrant, soft and greasy, with golden needles piercing the stamen, blooming beautiful and fragrant.
Yang Ling felt as if he had found a treasure, hugging the young and tender buttocks like a peach, he felt as soft as oil and smooth, and then listening to Xue Limei's tactful moaning like crying, he went crazy and ruthless that night A little bit, Yang Ling also knew in his heart that this little girl was so flattering, what was she worried about.
Women, sometimes having a heart is not enough, it is actually quite necessary to talk nonsense to them, Yang Ling naturally knows this truth, and after being full of fun, he hugged his timid body and talked with her warmly until the middle of the night , Coaxed Xiaonizi to be elated, and cried happily, and then fell asleep with her legs folded, unavoidably a little tired, and the small sedan chair was fanned along the way, but she felt sleepy.
Fanzi called a few times, but he didn't see an answer from the adults, so he hurriedly opened the curtain of the sedan chair, only to see Yang Ling reclining on the cushion of the sedan chair, sleeping soundly, Fanzi hurriedly lowered the curtain and signaled everyone to wait carefully, don't wake him up grown ups.
Unexpectedly, there was no movement here, but there was a quarrel in the grain and oil shop, and a man's voice shouted: "Go, go, you beggars, if you want to beg for a stutter, I gave you brown rice. Why don't you return it?" Making noise here? If you try to confuse the public with gossip again, and deceive my old lady into being deceived, I will send you to the government for investigation."
Following the sound, a small boss in a cotton robe led two assistants and pushed the two people out of the store. The two men were wearing tattered black robes, and the dirt hadn't been changed for a long time, and the weather was getting colder. It's really a little pitiful.
These two beggars are both thin and tall. Seen from behind, they have red, yellow and yellow hair, unlike those from the Central Plains. I just heard a beggar say in a weird tone: "Boss, we are not beggars, we are God's messengers, we are spreading the gospel. You, your mother believes in God, you can get salvation and peace of mind ".
Before he finished speaking, the little boss squinted and scolded: "Fuck, what God? Is there the Jade Emperor? You red ghosts, get out of here quickly, and then affect my business here, don't blame me for not doing business." You're welcome".
Another blond man in a black robe was pushed down the steps and said: "Don't insult God, God told us that we are all brothers and sisters who love each other, lost lambs ouch ".
Just as he was about to express his emotions, the little boss hit him with something, covered his head and screamed that it hurt, another red-haired man couldn't help arguing loudly.
The headmaster made the two groups of people become louder and louder, and was about to go forward to drive them away so as not to wake Yang Ling, Yang Ling had already woken up when he heard the sound, he lifted the sedan chair curtain and frowned, "What's the matter, who's here?" quarrel?"
Before he could finish his sentence, the red-haired man turned around with the support of another blond man. Yang Ling couldn't help being stunned when he saw the two of them. He had only seen such a strange-looking man in Daming since he came to Daming. Isn't it the group of Western missionaries?
Yang Ling quickly got up and got out of the sedan chair, he laughed and said, "You two priests, long time no see."
Walking in, seeing the appearance of these two western missionaries, I saw that the black robes were getting more and more dilapidated, and both of them were disheveled. It seemed that life was miserable, Yang Ling couldn't help but was surprised and said: "You two, you This is, haven't you been living in the Huguo Temple? The emperoruhthat good man donated three thousand taels of sesame oil money to the temple Li, whydid you get kicked out?"
