After listening to the political affairs for a long time, Zhu Yujian had the illusion that the overall situation of the world was decided by me. It made him feel that although Li Shouhan had a bad reputation as a powerful official, the saying that the general controlled the government affairs, and that all the major events in the world came from the shogunate, etc. It was almost going to rub his ears out. However, if you think about it carefully, if Liang Guogong was really like Cao Cao and other powerful officials in history, he isolated himself from the outside world and replaced all his close servants with his people, so that no news that was unfavorable to him could come in. How could he be scolded like this? The words filled my ears? However, waves of fatigue quietly hit Li Shouhan, Huang Daozhou and others as they talked, and he began to yawn. When the two eunuchs standing on both sides saw this, they exchanged extremely subtle glances with each other and nodded slightly. Zhu Yujian was tricked by Chongzhen's imperial edict and planned to take his guards from Nanyang to the north to meet King Qin. However, he was deposed as a commoner by Chongzhen's imperial edict and was imprisoned within the high walls of Fengyang. Although he had a lot of belongings with him, he would not be discriminated against and abused by the eunuchs in Fengyang. However, those days are also extremely difficult. Fortunately, he was not the only one who was imprisoned at the same time. Although the Dewang family from Jinan were also imprisoned, because they had such a close relationship with Li Shouhan in Jinan, the eunuchs in Fengyang looked at them differently. When Nanzhong merchants from all over the Jianghuai River arrived in Fengyang, they often brought their rare and exquisite goods. Therefore, their life was not much worse than when they were in Jinan Palace. In order to pass the time, King De and Zhu Yujian followed the example of Emperor Wanli and became proud of the smoke. Fortunately, the Jiangnan base camp of Nanzhong merchants is also very close to Fengyang, so there is no need to worry about running out of black grain. "Your Majesty, it has been some time since you have been in charge of government affairs. Why don't you please go to the court room to rest for a while, have some tea and snacks, rest for a while, and then come back to share the work with your Majesty." The Eunuch Wang, the Chief of Ceremonies and the Chief Seal, who was waiting beside him Seeing a confidant, a young eunuch, nodding to him at the side door, he opened his mouth to give Zhu Yujian some advice. Although all the etiquette systems in the imperial court are now in accordance with the system in Nanjing and Beijing, after all, today is different from the past. His authority as the eunuch in charge of etiquette can only be to take care of the emperor's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and decide which concubine will be able to Just sleeping. "Okay! I'll ask the general and the chief assistant to lead all the ministers to the court room to rest for a while. Just have some snacks and tea." Zhu Yujian also understood what the eunuch next to him meant. When he said this, he had already smelled the smell behind him. There was a hint of strange fragrance floating in the Nuan Pavilion. "I'd like to express my gratitude." People walked out of the hall and walked towards the court rooms on both sides. There, the attendants of the ministers were waiting with clothes, snacks, tea and other supplies, and there was inevitably another round of socializing. "Commander, Sir, when I went to court, I have something that will benefit the country and the people, and it will be of great benefit to the restoration of the country and the country. I want to ask the emperor for permission. When the time comes, I hope that the Commander will help me." No matter what, as long as it is beneficial to the people of the Ming Dynasty, Li will not care about it. " "That's good. I will thank the commander in advance on behalf of the people of the world." Huang Daozhou said formally. Li Shouhan bowed and saluted. After all, he is a person who has served as the Minister of Rites, and all his actions comply with the requirements of the etiquette system. With a summons, everyone instantly switched from a relaxed atmosphere of drinking tea and chatting to a solemn procession for going to court. In the team, Li Shouhan ordered people to carry two huge trays, which were covered with red silk. They were rising and falling, and he didn't know what was hidden inside. "Hmph! I guess it's some new weird and obscene thing! It's used to bewitch the saints and deceive the emperor!" Several people in the civil service team cursed in their hearts, but then they quietly began to speculate on what was inside. , if it is sold on the market, how much does it cost, what is it used for, and whether I can buy it and afford it. The Longwu Emperor Zhu Yujian on the throne looked much better and more energetic than before. The civil and military classes rearranged their positions and said, "My dear friends, please take a short break. What you just said, you might as well continue." Li Shouhan had been taking the lead in speaking just now. Even if the right to speak was to be changed, he should be the one to make a gesture. . "Your Majesty, I have ordered the craftsmen to make two items for Your Majesty. Please take a look at them. If they are still worthy of Your Majesty's attention, please reward Your Majesty." Li Shouhan ordered people to bring up the two wooden trays and uncover the red seal on them. Silk, but there are two portions, one large and one small. The big plate is a clock, inlaid with gold and jade, needless to say it was made by skillful hands. What is even more peculiar is that the whole shape is a scene of a country. There are rivers flowing under the mountain, lush forests on the mountain, birds and animals in the mountains, and plains. There is smoke curling up from the kitchen. A red sun appeared on the top of the mountain, just like the sunrise in the east in the morning. "Your Majesty, please take a look."The guards of the Han Dynasty ordered the people to bring water and pour it into the river. As the river flowed, the birds and beasts on the mountain began to move. "The design of the craftsmen is that at the right time of every hour, the tigers in the mountains roar to announce the time. At half an hour, it is the chirping of birds." "Then, what is this round of red sun?" Zhu Yujian was Attracted by Li Shouhan's explanation, he stepped down from the throne and admired the huge clock carefully. "Your Majesty, this thing is called the sun and the moon to illuminate the universe. Now it is daytime, naturally the red sun is in the sky, and at night, the bright moon is in the sky. Moreover, in sync with the movement of the sun and the moon in the sky and the earth, when does the sun rise, this red sun When the moon rises above the willow trees at the beginning of the bright moon, it will reach its position. "The sun and moon have always been symbols of the Ming Dynasty. Hearing what Li Shouhan said, even among the civil servants, some people nodded in approval. "Although Liang Guogong is domineering and authoritarian, his fighting spirit is well deserved. This artifact can really inspire us to expel the Tartars as soon as possible, wipe out the smell, and recover China." The clock, along with Matteo Ricci and others, The arrival of Western missionaries was not a rarity among the upper class society of the Ming Dynasty, but became an everyday household item. Moreover, at this time, it is still a relatively luxurious and expensive item, and there is absolutely no saying that giving away a clock is equivalent to "giving away". Moreover, Li Shouhan's sun and moon illuminate the universe is ingeniously conceived and meticulously made. It can be seen that it took a lot of thought and a lot of manpower and material resources to make it. Not to mention anything else, just the synchronization of the movement of the sun and the moon with the celestial bodies is very breathtaking. (Li Shouhan: Actually I didn¡¯t do anything, but the gentlemen and professors at the university spent a lot of calculation paper, stayed up all night, and calculated a lot of things! I can guarantee that I didn¡¯t let them do anything wrong. Six! Moreover, the results of their calculations and research can be used as scientific and technological achievements to enjoy dividends. Maybe they themselves don¡¯t know which of their research results has a significant impact on our industrial system, agricultural production, military, and other fields. It can be applied in the trade and finance and taxation systems, allowing them to get unexpected expenses!) "Okay! I understand your intention. I accept this piece of sun and moon shining on the universe! I will put it in this hall. I am watching with all my ministers and ministers to see when we can regain the capital, regain the capital, and restore our Ming Dynasty!" "Your Majesty, how dare you fail to do your best!" The civil and military officials fell to the ground. Sincerely terrified. For a time, there was a harmonious scene of wise kings and wise ministers. With the sun and moon shining brightly on the universe, the objects on the small plate are no longer so attractive. In the final analysis, they are just three things, one of which is a pocket watch, ranging from the most common low-end entry-level version with a brass case and tied with silk ribbon, to an enamel-based pocket watch with pictures inside and tied with a copper chain. The intermediate version has a gold shell, is inlaid with precious stones and jade, and is tied with a gold chain. "This is also a pocket watch produced by my subordinates. The copper case pocket watch costs one thousand yuan, the enamel painted pocket watch costs two hundred yuan, and the gold case pocket watch costs fifty yuan. Please bring it to the inner palace for your majesty's reward." This is how Li Shouhan was regarded as a loyal minister by Zhu Yujian. important reason. Although he is a bit domineering and authoritarian, he never oversteps in etiquette and courtesy, and he is very generous in supplying all kinds of goods. Eunuch Wang, who was standing next to Zhu Yujian, couldn't help but swallow a large mouthful of saliva. He knew that this kind of pocket watch, the cheapest copper-cased pocket watch, would cost one hundred silver dollars to buy at Nanzhong Store in Fuzhou City, no, Tianxingfu City. You still need to pay a deposit of 20 yuan before the goods are available. These thousand pocket watches, my dear! It¡¯s a solid one hundred thousand silver dollars! What's more, there are also those enamel-painted pocket watches and gold-cased pocket watches, which are even more incalculable. He couldn't help but start thinking about how to sneak out a few pieces and use them as treasures in his private pocket. "If he knew that the cost of this copper-cased pocket watch was only eight silver dollars, would he be so angry that he would harden up all the missing parts? But if he sees a few other things in the small tray, he will be more impulsive. There is a saying that "sake makes people's faces red, and wealth and silk touch people's hearts." When the contents of the small tray were presented to Emperor Longwu by the little eunuch on duty, he couldn't help but make his eyebrows move and his face look happy. These are several samples of Longwu silver coins and Longwu Tongbao. The text is clear, the pattern is beautiful, and the texture is of fine silver and copper. The yellow ones are Tong Bao, and the white flowers shining in the sun are silver coins. "Dear ministers, please take a look." Zhu Yujian held a silver dollar and a Tongbao in his hand and looked at it carefully. "Unexpectedly, I now have a Tongbao with my own reign name!" He was filled with ecstasy in his heart. The more I read, the more I felt that Liang Guogong and General Li Shouhan were indispensable ministers of the Ming Dynasty! We had just agreed on the issuance of Longwu Tongbao and silver coins, and immediately presented samples of silver coins and Tongbao. Where could we find such a minister who was so loyal to the king? ???It's a pity that the two late emperors, Chongzhen and Hongguang, had little fortune and little virtue and could not afford the help of such ministers. It seems that the true destiny of the Ming Dynasty lies with me! ! He couldn¡¯t help praising and praising Li Shouhan in his heart. Of course, the emperor¡¯s intention and the final purpose of praising his ministers is still to be obedient to nature and people, to obey heaven¡¯s orders, and to be worthy of heaven and earth. However, the ministers may not necessarily see it that way. "Hmph! So flattering! Really a sycophant! Really a powerful traitor!" "A hundred years later, with stained history and long words, let's see how you will bear the eternal infamy!" Seeing Li Shouhan take out the coin sample without hesitation, Many people in the civil service queue exchanged glances and understood each other's meanings from each other's eyes. "General, the student has something unclear, and I hope you can enlighten me." Xia Yunyi straightened his robes and stood upright and impartially. ?? After the Tang King Zhu Yujian was supported by Li Shouhan, he served as the doctor of the Literary Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. This position was also a high-power role in the previous dynasty. "Yi Zhong, please tell me if you have anything to say." "Now that the emperor has just ascended the throne, and there are frequent wars, we need to rest with the people and recuperate. Is it appropriate for you to issue new money so eagerly? Can you disturb the people? Can you? Is it harmful to the people? Is it possible to compete with the people? "This is another matter of one's own abilities! Disturbing the people, harming the people, and competing with the people for profit. However, in the past, they used to take out one by one, but today they really couldn't wait to fire three moves in a row. It seems that the gentlemen of Donglin have reached the point where their skills are exhausted. (Pa! Dozens more bricks flew in, and the author who was beaten unkindly was dizzy. Sun thief! You said that our Donglin gentlemen are donkeys from Guizhou?! I are all talented people from the south of the Yangtze River! You are the donkey! You He is the donkey of Guizhou!) Emperor Longwu Zhu Yujian on the throne also tried his best to control his emotions. He pinched the skirt of the dragon robe with both hands, and his fingers turned white from the exertion. Just now, a young eunuch on duty outside quietly reported to Eunuch Wang that the general Xingyuan had sent a bankbook containing 20,000 silver dollars and 15 million Wen Tongbao, saying that it was to be handed over to the inner government for safekeeping. . This situation immediately made Zhu Yujian happy. "It's still my Duke Liang! This is the true guardian of heaven! He has thought of everything for me!" However, this group of rotten scholars jumped out to accuse of actions that disturbed and harmed the people. This was clearly related to me. The money bag can't survive! I can't live with my righteousness! "Disturbing the people? Harming the people? Competing with the people? Where does this come from?" Li Shouhan did not speak, but Navy Admiral Zheng Zhilong, who was standing behind him, opened his mouth to inquire in detail. ??In the eyes of Donglin¡¯s gentlemen, all the civil and military officials of the court, when Zheng Zhilong spoke, it was Li Shouhan who spoke. This is determined by his status. Who told him to be the naval admiral of the Southern Guangdong Army and the son and daughter-in-law of Li Shouhan? Everyone in the world knows that the Southern Guangdong Army has soldiers and horses capable of fighting on both land and water. However, the navy was given priority in the transfer of troops, money, food and materials. Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, the position of Zheng Zhilong, the admiral of the navy, was that of one person in the South Guangdong Army and above tens of thousands of people. Otherwise, Li Huamei, with her status as a princess, would not serve in the Navy, let alone marry Shi Lang, who was born in the Navy. Especially Zheng Zhilong rescued Empress Dowager Zou from the dangerous city just before the fall of Hangzhou, continuing the legal status of the current Longwu regime. This contribution cannot be underestimated or despised by anyone. "General Zheng, the student's hometown is Songjiang Prefecture. I have also seen the Chongzhen and Hongguang coins circulated on the market made by Jueshuai. To be honest, from the student's point of view, this move is suspected of harming the people and business. , It is inconsistent with the way of the saint and the way of the benevolent king." This statement is somewhat untrue. Xia Yunyi was about to open his mouth to make up for what this man said, but unexpectedly, a loud voice sounded from behind Zheng Zhilong. "Oh! I am not talented. I have also managed the money, food and taxes of hundreds of thousands of people. How can the coins made by the commander-in-chief be harmful to the people? I would like to ask a question. What is the harm to the people? Is it because the materials used to make the coins are adulterated? Fake, or the production is not fine enough. It is not as good as all kinds of privately made rotten boards, sand shells and other private money. "Since the other party has sent pawns to attack, then the South Cantonese Army cannot afford to use generals to deal with it. An official who was born in Qin Law School opened his mouth to catch Xia Yunyi's fellow Songjiang official, and a scolding battle between the two sides began. Because after the Battle of Liudu, a large number of officials defected to the enemy and went into hiding, so Li Shouhan decided to fill the vacancies with outstanding performers from among the cadres who went south to study at Nanzhong from Qinfa School. Although this move was strongly opposed by a group of people represented by Huang Daozhou, it was still implemented. Ever since, these rough guys from the northwest started toHe boldly entered the court under their hostile gazes, and made some inelegant words such as donkey ball appear in the court from time to time. The so -called meal must be used for who to eat. Since I took Li Shouhan's money, the lowest must be called two times. After all, people have never learned the economics of heaven, and do not know that there are still money in the world to scold the master. Therefore, as soon as Zheng Zhilong finished speaking, someone took over: "Your Majesty, I believe that what Mr. Zheng said is true. It is said that a worm does not know the age, and a rotten scholar does not know the military. The sages and merchants once said that a country should benefit from a country. Kong, people can share wealth but not suffering. In fact, Mr. Shang thinks too well of these people. I think they are not even willing to share wealth. If you think about it, the hardest thing is to start a business. I have been working hard in Nanzhong for more than 20 years, but have I ever shared any of your sufferings? The only one I share with you is the rich and noble ones who have delivered grain, rice, cloth, and gunpowder to our Ming Dynasty since I became King Qin. Ordnance, and even Princess Huamei personally led an army to conquer Tashan, and almost died. As a result, not only did you not want to repay your kindness, but whenever the country needed your help, you would either delay it or make unreasonable accusations. If the New Deal had been implemented as early as possible, the peasants in the north who supported King Chuang would have eaten their food to welcome the King. If they had trusted the Duke of the country earlier, the rebels from Liao would have been captured long ago, so how could they be so humiliated today? " While the people at Qin Fa Academy were making impassioned speeches, a student from Huang Daozhou couldn't help it. He shouted: "Shut up!" Then he pointed at the people at Qin Fa Academy and cursed: "You are the thieves, you think you are free." I can't see through the thief. You did something wrong in Li Chuang's army in the early years. Later, you insulted the sage disciples in Liudu. Later, when you came to Jiangnan, you did whatever you wanted. Can you admit that since you came to Jiangnan, you have arrested dozens of famous royal families at once in Hangzhou? Later, on the pretext that the officials and gentry broke the law, you arrested hundreds of families and tens of thousands of people, and even beheaded them in public. More than a thousand people were killed. Everywhere you went, blood flowed everywhere. Do you dare to deny this? " What he didn't expect was that the people from Qin Fa Academy just sneered and said nonchalantly. : "Tell me what your relationship is with these people? Those people in Hangzhou are involved in the case, and the national law cannot tolerate it. If you speak for them, I would like to know if you are among the people in Guaman. As for the hundreds of families later. , I would like to ask, why are there so many shameless people in the world? The Duke of Guo enacted a law that if the workers in the weaving factories abide by the laws of the Guo Gu and limit their working hours and increase their wages, they can obtain tax exemption rights from the Guo Gu. . As a result, the government's taxes were exempted, but none of these labor hours were paid in place, and the goods were mixed with fakes, which harmed the soldiers at the front. In the end, the workers reported it. How could the government not punish these people? ? Could it be said that the Duke has to support them with money while taking the blame for them? Although the Duke is kind and righteous, he will never do such despicable things! "
