I am the king of the dead

Chapter 697 By cheating, you can trick people into being like cows!

Zhu Qiyu picked up Yuan Bin's letter, opened it and read it for a long time.

The specific meaning of Shanye Yuan Gongfang is Yuan, the ruler of Shanye Yinshan, which is a canonization given to Yuan Bin by the imperial court.

In the Muromachi shogunate, this title was recognized and represented the vassals who actually held local power.

The transportation in Japan is inconvenient, and the information transmission is false.

In Japan, most guardian daimyos did not know the difference between Yuan and Genji, and mistakenly believed that Yuan Bin was a relative of the Emperor of Japan, and believed that Yuan Bin was the master of Shangluo with a sword.

Yuan Bin's letter was obviously written by Yuan Bin himself, and the style of writing is open and closed, and the power penetrates the back of the paper.

In the letter, Yuan Bin greeted the emperor as the commander of Jinyiwei, and briefly introduced the recent vigorous development speed of the Shanye Gongfang.

Yuan Bin led the army to crusade against An Yi State in Sanyang Road, captured the Yamana family of the Yamana family, and occupied the entire territory of An Yi State.

Anyi Country is west of Hiroshima County, about [-] miles from east to west and [-] miles from north to south.It is bordered by Bingo Country in the east, Shufang Country in the west, Iwami Country in Sanyin Road in the north, and the sea in the south.

The State Division is located in Anyi County.

The reason why Yuan Bin mentioned Anyi Kingdom was because Anyi Kingdom and Iwami Kingdom, the two ruling countries, were only separated by a mountain, and Anyi Silver Mountain and Iwami Silver Mountain were the two largest silver mountains in the Wa Kingdom .

An Yiguo is close to the sea, which makes it easier for Japanese silver to enter the Ming Dynasty.

The purpose of Yuan Bin's doing so many things in the Wa country was to find money for Daming, and it was a proper intention to report the good news to His Majesty after finding it.

Zhu Qiyu briefly told the officials about Yuan Bin's progress in Japan.

"Full drink! Congratulations to Commander Yuan! Congratulations to Daming!" Zhu Qiyu picked up the wine jue, which was filled with clear water, and said loudly.

"Congratulations to Commander Yuan! Congratulations to Daming!"

The ministers were happy, not because Yuan Binjian was in the emperor's heart and the holy family was in prosperity, but because Daming had found Yinshan again.

Wa Kingdom once again made its own contribution to Daming's money shortage.

Yuan Bin did not explain in detail the whole story of his crusade against An Yiguo, but simply said that the Yamana clan was in conflict, that An Yi had no defenses, so he wanted to discuss it.

From Yuan Bin's point of view, An Yiguo was at the level of a county in Daming at best, and it wouldn't be worth mentioning if it didn't have silver mines.

In the letter, Yuan Bin told his experiences and doubts.

His doubt boils down to: whether to go further.

Daming's strategic goal for Wa was to turn Wa into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal country, and use the weak and incompetent Muromachi shogunate to eliminate and suppress those rebellious forces that opposed Daming's acquisition of silver. Daming obtained a large amount of silver and eased Ming's money shortage.

However, there were some deviations in this process.

The difference is that Yuan Bin is a general who graduated with all honors in the lecture hall and lecture hall.

Although the Shanye Gongfang under Yuan Bin's rule still regards the people of the Wa country as cattle and horses, it is still tens of thousands of times stronger than the famous farmers of the Wa country who treat the people as nothing.

Yuan Bin was puzzled whether to raise the sword to Shangluo and replace the Muromachi shogunate to become the general who conquered barbarians, the shogunate, and the king of Japan.

The people of the Japanese country are too bitter.

Thousands of miles of fertile fields are uncultivated, the roads are covered with starved corpses, and people eat each other like grass. Yuan Bin wrote down the tragic scenes he saw in his letter.

Yuan Gongfang couldn't see these sufferings and wanted to do something.

This is his high moral disadvantage.

Zhu Qiyu handed Yuan Bin's letter to Yu Qian. After reading it, Yu Qian thought about it seriously and said, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "He can be the king of Japan if he wants to, and he can't be if he doesn't want to be."

"I don't care."

In Zhu Qiyu's case, the Japanese country is not even qualified to suspend the people and punish crimes.

He doesn't care whether the people of the Wa Kingdom are grasshoppers or cattle and horses, nor does he care whether the king of the Wa Kingdom is Ashikaga Yoshimasa or Yuan Bin.

As long as Yuan Bin can complete the occupation of the mine and steadily import silver to Daming, Yuan Bin will complete the task. As for other things, Yuan Bin can play as he likes.

Even if Yuan Bin really wants to be the king of the Wa Kingdom, Zhu Qiyu's edict has already been drawn up.

After thinking about it, Yu Qian agreed with him and said, "It's really not important."

Who is the king of the Wa country, is it important to Ming Dynasty?

unimportant.

In the relationship between Daming and Wa, the ballast stone is the Daming navy, not Ashikaga Yoshimasa, the shogun.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes, the atmosphere is in full swing.

Zhu Qiyu asked Yu Qian and Li Binyan: "I remember that Li Aiqing gave a memorial at the beginning, talking about the official houses of the craftsmen cities in various places, does Yu Shaobao still remember?"

Zhu Qiyu came up with three plans at the beginning, the first was the national debt, and the second was the land policy. At that time, Yu Qian believed that it was more important for Li Binyan to build an official house for the craftsmen in the official factories of the Ming Dynasty.

"Of course I remember." Yu Qian said hastily.

Zhu Qiyu said quite solemnly: "I just thought, this is the family courtyard for the craftsmen in the official factory of Ming Dynasty, how can it not be invaded by the local masters."

The favorite of the local gentlemen is weddings and funerals. This family courtyard built for the craftsmen of the Ming government factory is very likely to be invaded.

Hearing His Majesty's worries, Yu Qian said with a smile: "I don't build a separate toilet."

"Masters will not go to the bathroom with mud-legged people. If every official house does not have a separate toilet, it is enough to discourage the gentlemen."

"It doesn't need to build a separate toilet, regular disinfection can also prevent plague, centralized treatment of manure, and composting and fertilization."

"There are many benefits."

Don't fix the toilet?

Zhu Qiyu blinked his eyes, came back to his senses, and finally realized that Yu Shaobao is also a scholar, so can this scholar's tricks be called poison tricks?

This strategy is very good.

Most of the craftsmen don't care about things like group washing and group toileting, but the gentlemen must care.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Continue to play music, and continue to dance."

"Today is a good day."

Zhu Qiyu and Daming Shiyaohaoyou achieved a win-win situation.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty received the immigration tax, and the people of the Ming Dynasty wanted to go to sea successfully, so there is no need to worry that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would come up with a big killer like the "Reporting Order" to kill them all.

This can be regarded as a compromise between the two parties after the game.

The emperor didn't kill them all, and he had a final way out.

Liu Tianhe has been staring at Ye Zhongxing. When he saw Ye Zhong marching into the Guanlan Pavilion, he wanted to go up and have a chat, but before he approached the Guanlan Pavilion, a strong man with a knife stood beside Liu Tianhe. before.

Tiqi stopped Liu Tianhe who wanted to get close. His Majesty was upstairs, and no one else could approach him.

"Idlers stop." Tiqi's tone was very peaceful, but his attitude could not be refused.

Liu Tianhe stopped his thugs from looking for death. This man looked like a member of the army with extraordinary skills. He asked mockingly, "Who is in this building?"

Ti Qi's hand touched the handle of the Xiuchun Knife, and the other Ti Qi had already seen this and walked up calmly.

Tiqi stopped Liu Tianhe and said in a low voice, "Three."

"I'm Liu Tianhe, the general manager of the Lianghuai Salt Merchant. Could you please introduce the distinguished person upstairs?" Liu Tianhe was still guessing whether the person upstairs might be Li Binyan.

Li Binyan is equipped with the Tianzi Sword, and he has a guard of a hundred captains to protect his safety.

"two."

As soon as Liu Tianhe heard the other party's warning, he immediately recalled that the Guanlan Pavilion was probably not Li Binyan, but... Yu Shaobao!

As Shaobao of Ming Dynasty, Marquis of Wen'an, Yu Shaobao was assigned two hundred Tielin troops. With this cold and hard style of handling things, only Yu Shaobao had such a big battle at this moment and here.

Liu Tianhe took a step back before the Tiqis left the handle of the Xiuchun Knife. The Tiqis on the second floor put away their flintlock pistols, and the Tiqis on the third floor put away their bird guns .

There are four people in Liu Tianhe's party, but if there is a slight change, the end can be imagined.

"What's being upright and chaste, what's being honest and honest, it's bullshit, it's not a huge greed, I can do this kind of business, I am afraid! These three ships, Yu Shaobao probably earned half of the capital!" Liu Tianhe A little away from Guanlan Pavilion, just waiting at a distance from the station.

During the 13 years of construction of the Bei Yamen, a total of nearly ten million silver coins was spent. Liu Tianhe conservatively estimated that this time alone, the amount was more than five million silver coins.

At sunset, Emperor Daming appeared in front of Guanlan Pavilion, got on his horse, and rode away.

And Liu Tianhe looked at this scene dumbfounded. Merchants are best at observing words and expressions. He has already guessed that the man in green and purple is the most honorable person in Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor from the nine heavens!

It is self-evident who is running this business.

This astonishing discovery made Liu Tianhe not only surprised, but also relieved a lot.

Your Majesty is Daming's gold-lettered signboard. He always keeps his word and never breaks his word!

Does Daming have a stronger signboard than His Majesty?

Since His Majesty promised to let them go, there is no reason to break his promise.

Liu Tianhe frowned, he found that there was actually Xu Youzhen among the drinkers in Guanlan Pavilion!

Liu Tianhe had met Xu Youzhen in person, although Xu Youzhen had lost a lot of weight and darkened a lot, but Liu Tianhe was sure that he did not admit the wrong person!

Liu Tianhe clenched his fists, and said angrily, "This damned traitor! It is said that this person is Yu Shaobao's deadly enemy, and at this moment, he actually appeared here!"

Among the imperial court, among the scholars, among the scholars, among the rich and influential, Xu Youzhen is the best candidate to fight against Yu Qian!It is also their last hope!

Now even Xu Youzhen has become a traitor and participated in this gluttonous feast.

Liu Tianhe doesn't hate the emperor, the world belongs to His Majesty, and His Majesty can obviously grab it.

But in the end, His Majesty gave him a way out, which was the best of benevolence, but Liu Tianhe especially hated Xu Youzhen.

Because Xu Youzhen betrayed them!

Zhu Qiyu rode back to Bieyuan, went to see Ran Siniang first, and only planned to go back to the imperial study after everything was well.

"Your Majesty, Liu Tianhe, the general manager of the Lianghuai merchants, probably saw His Majesty." Xing'an said in a low voice.

Xing'an's subtext is whether to let Liu Tianhe keep the secret forever, the dead will not leak the secret.

Zhu Qiyu said indifferently: "If you see it, you will see it. I'm going today, isn't it just to show them? It saves them from guessing."

"Who in the world doesn't know that I am greedy for money? A subjugated king who competes with the people for profit, they say, seeing me, they feel more at ease."

Why is immigration tax a tax?

Because it is impossible for rich households to go to sea overnight, it must be an extremely long process.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty will continue to produce countless wealthy households. These wealthy households who are afraid of the emperor's butcher knife must try to protect themselves.

This kind of overseas emigration is a kind of long-term government fiscal revenue, so it is called tax.

As long as Ming's merchant ships enter Hong Kong without opening their bows and filling medicines, Ming's inspection department will ignore all long and short weapons on the merchant ships. This is a tacit unspoken rule.

But now, Zhu Qiyu's appearance in Guanlan Pavilion to send rich families to sea is also a tacit unspoken rule.

Xing'an said in a low voice again: "Your Majesty, Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong and Songjiang Governor Li Binyan said at the banquet today that all these wealthy households should be sunk in the sea, so as to relieve their hatred."

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "This is not the first time Xu Chengzong and Li Binyan have said that. They always think that I am too kind."

"Yu Shaobao heard about their proposal and did not object."

"Xing'an, you know Yu Shaobao. Yu Shaobao is always advising benevolence and forgiveness. Yu Shaobao doesn't object to such things as sinking people into the sea. Yu Shaobao is a loyal minister. These rich people betrayed Daming and fled to sea. , isn’t it the greatest infidelity?”

Xing'an thought for a while, gritted his teeth, and said, "I also think that I should sink into the sea, so let them go like this, it's really too cheap for them."

Xing'an actually thinks so, isn't His Majesty's kindness lenient?

Yuan Yikuan lost the world.

Zhu Qiyu said while walking: "No, no, Xing'an, you are wrong, these are some wolves, tigers and leopards, death is not a pity, sinking them into the sea and confiscating their property will be cheaper for them."

"Let them go out. In order to earn back the levied funds, they will naturally do everything they can. As long as Daming takes [-]% of the tax from the Shibo Division, isn't it possible to collect more taxes?"

Xing'an thought for a moment before he understood His Majesty's logic, bowed his head and said: "So, if you rely on robbing, you can only rob people and lose their property."

Xing'an didn't say the next sentence, so it can't be said that His Majesty relies on deception to deceive people like cattle and horses.

Your Majesty, is this treating the person in the same way as the person?

However, following the behavior of these wolves, tigers and leopards who went to sea, after going to sea, it was the overseas Fanyi who finally bore the consequences.

Daming's wolves, tigers and leopards are especially good at transferring risks to the poorest ordinary people.

"Sustainable depletion of resources for fishing is the long-term strategy." Zhu Qiyu once again emphasized his philosophy of governing the country.

Even if it is 100 years in the evening, Zhu Qiyu will tighten his pockets, because by then Taixi has already embarked on a great voyage, and Ming also has competitors.
