Chapter 039: Li Wenjin's Guidance
After Gao Shishi left the Lu Palace, His Royal Highness King Lu couldn't sit still at all. He walked around the study for a while, but he still couldn't make up his mind, so he simply invited several of his teachers over and asked them for the advice provided by Gao Gongbao to see if it was feasible.
The gentlemen equipped with His Royal Highness King Lu are naturally well educated, but there is a specialization in the art industry, and there is such a thing as financial management...... The topic is a bit over-the-top.
But it doesn't matter, the gentlemen are all masters of doing questions, and they are still very good at shifting the focus of the article, so from the left and right long history to the main and deputy trials, they did not work making money that King Lu was most concerned about, but carefully analyzed the benefits of "letting King Jing's legacy" in terms of reputation for His Royal Highness King Lu.
It's just that they analyzed and analyzed, and they just thought that letting out King Jing's legacy could make His Royal Highness King Lu get the title of King Xian of the Ming Dynasty, but His Royal Highness King Lu didn't care about King Xian or not, what he cared about was the "De" mentioned by Gao Shishi.
Will that little broken island really turn into a cornucopia in the future?
His Royal Highness King Lu really can't see it, and he really doesn't have any confidence.
If he had to say that there was, it would be better to say that he had confidence in his pragmatic vision and ability to Jinghua.
Gao pragmatic Shi Chengjin's name is not a joke, when he hasn't missed for more than ten years, whoever changes his business proposal has to think carefully, even if his proposal sounds like a ridiculous talk, it can't be an exception.
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree. What is a name? It's called a name.
It's like in the later life, even if Gao Pragmatic couldn't understand how time could be turned back, but Einstein said yes, he had to wonder if his level was too far behind, so he couldn't understand, instead of going back and doubting Einstein's nonsense.
There must also be a foundation for anti-authority, and some people's authority in some aspects is already so high that it is close to mythology, which makes it difficult for people to have the courage to oppose it - you yourself feel that your level is 30,000 feet behind others, why are you embarrassed to oppose it first without understanding it?
King Lu's current mentality is probably like this, he really can't see that there is any "money" on that small broken island with a population of only a few thousand, but he doesn't dare to question Gao Pragmatic's statement at will, and now several gentlemen are talking about him one by one, which makes him crazy.
Finally, when the gentlemen finished speaking, King Lu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The meaning of all the gentlemen, this king understands, this matter will be discussed here today, gentlemen, go and rest, this king should also think about it again." ”
As soon as they left, Zhu Yihua immediately stood up, quietly called someone over and whispered a phone call, and then rummaged through the cabinets in the palace, trying to find a map of Guangdong.
It's a pity that this thing is not a popular book in the "feudal era", except for a lot of Kanyu maps under the banner of "business maps" in Beijing, ordinary people don't dare to collect this kind of thing, and even King Lu's mansion in Beijing is not there.
After looking for a long time and not finding it, Zhu Yihua gave up and simply stared at the hourglass and other news.
After a while, the previous man returned, and brought back another man dressed in eunuch clothes.
For a prince who has not yet established a kingdom, Zhu Yihua should be able to treat any eunuch as a slave, but this person is obviously an exception, because Zhu Yihua got up to greet him as soon as he saw him, and even took the initiative to say hello.
"Uncle came just in time, this king wants to enter the palace immediately, but now the palace door has long been closed...... I had to ask my uncle to help. ”
It turned out that the person who came was none other than Li Wenjin, the younger brother of Empress Dowager Li.
As mentioned earlier, eunuchs like Li Wenjin don't have to live in the palace, almost all of them have outhouses, and people like Li Wenjin who are addicted to money are of course no exception, so just now Zhu Yihua sent someone to his outer house to ask him to come over to help.
The palace ban rules of the Ming Dynasty have always been very strict, although Zhu Yihua does not have a country to be a vassal, but because he has been married and has gone out of the cabinet to study, in principle, he can no longer go to the palace at will, not to mention that it is still a big night when the palace door has been locked. Although Zhu Yihua is favored, he doesn't dare to joke about the palace ban.
You must know that in order to protect the safety of the palace in the Ming Dynasty, there are many guards inside and outside the imperial city, and the gate is strictly controlled.
In the imperial city, there is one person from each of the governors and thousands of households who are on duty every day, and they receive the No. 17 token of the Shenzi in the interior and the sergeants of each gate. Later, the governor's mansion was changed, and the five mansions were ordered to be the marquis and uncle, and one person was on duty every night. There are 100 generals on the left and right sides of the inner imperial city, and 20 people take turns to be on duty. Eight officials are set up at the four gates, patrolling and inspecting each other, and each official holding a seal is stamped on the inspection book.
In other words, as long as His Royal Highness King Lu appears near the palace gate at this time, the news will spread throughout the entire Jingshi early tomorrow morning, how can these marquis and nobles keep it secret? Even if they don't say it themselves, the people around them can't keep it a secret.
So what about sneaking in? Well...... This is a dream, and the quality of the personnel guarding the palace may have decreased a lot compared to the beginning of the country, but the system of guarding the palace has not been abolished.
Between the walls of Miyagi and the Tsuzi River, there are forty guard duty rooms around the perimeter, each room is guarded by ten sergeants day and night, and there are twenty-eight brass bells around it as a warning signal. Every time the first change is added, the copper bell is sent from the first duty room outside the right door of the que, and the soldiers on duty hand shake the copper bell to the second duty room, and the force is transmitted to the first duty room outside the left door of the que, and the copper bell is passed to the first duty room of the right door of the next day early the next day to repeat the bell transmission.
And outside the imperial city, there are also 72 guard duty rooms, each room is also guarded by ten soldiers, set up 78 copper bells, every night from the first duty room of the right gate of Chang'an, the copper bell is passed to the left gate of Chang'an. In addition, there are also patrol officers around Miyagi who are sent every night to check the status of the soldiers.
The origin of this system should have started in February of the seventeenth year of Yongle, when Chengzu Zhu Di ordered the Ministry of Engineering to cast the bronze medal of the four gates of the imperial city and the bronze medal of the night patrol, and in March of the same year, the bronze medal of the night patrol of the palace city was cast. The bronze talisman of the imperial city is cast with the words "Cheng", "East", "West", "North" and so on, each representing the name of its city gate. At night, the inspector holds the left half, and the guard holds the right half, and when the guard encounters the inspector to check, the bronze charm matches and engages.
These strict security rules and regulations stipulate that no substitutes are allowed on duty, no unauthorized departure from duty, no dispersal of the ranks, no interrogation of officials, military and civilian affairs, and no extortion of property. The current implementation may not be as good as the Chengzu period, but after all, the framework is still there, and without the bronze talisman in hand, it is impossible to sneak in.
Not only is the security outside the palace heavily guarded, but even inside the palace is heavily armed. Before Gao Shishi set up the Praetorian Guard, the emperor's personal guards included 1,507 Jinyi Wei Dahan generals, 40 guards and sword officers of the government army, 2,500 red helmet generals, 16 commanders-in-chief, 502 Mingjia generals, 2 commanders-in-chief, 8 Han generals, 3,000 fork and knife rounders in the five military camps, 8 commanders-in-chief, no fixed number of guards and guards, and 180 standard-bearers and other guards with knives, totaling more than 8,300 people.
At that time, there were six guards under the command, one of whom was in charge of the Han general, the loose horsemen, and the guards of the government army with knives; One person is in charge of the five military camps, forks, knives, and executioners; Four people are in charge of the three thousand (Shenshu) battalion red helmets and Ming armor generals.
As the guard officer has just said, it is the rank of prince, marquis, uncle, and horse captain. On weekdays, there are hundreds of generals on duty, waiting outside the noon gate day and night, and changing at night. The five military battalion forks and knives were all on duty in the imperial city. The guards are in shifts, one a day, and the generals and fork and knife hands are on duty every day. When the palace held a major event, the guards were deployed according to the custom.
After Gao Shishi carried out the reform of the Beijing camp, the Praetorian Guard became the only field force in the Beijing camp, and the production and construction corps was responsible for logistics and other matters, so the guards of the palace seemed embarrassing.
In the end, after discussing with the nobles and asking Zhu Yijun for instructions, another palace ban system was developed, that is, these personnel who were originally in charge of the palace ban continued to stay in office, and the subsequent vacancies were still selected from the various guards in Beijing, but these people needed to go to the Jingbei battalion of the Praetorian Guard to participate in a three-month special training before they "took up their posts", so as not to prevent the people selected after the Beijing camp was changed to the production and construction corps.
Of course, since the reform of the Praetorian Guard itself has just begun, these guards have not been replaced yet, and they are still the same as before.
However, although the rules are strict, after two hundred years of implementation of any rules, they will definitely be loosened or even deformed, and the palace ban rules are of course the same, so although King Lu himself did not dare to go to the palace at night, it was not impossible to think about it, such as asking Li Wenjin to take him in, then it would be okay.
Li Wenjin's particularity goes without saying, he is not only a eunuch, but also the younger brother of the empress dowager and the emperor's uncle, and it is well known that he usually does not go to other places to mix except for Cining Palace. Since he entered the palace at night, he must have gone to Cining Palace to see the Empress Dowager Cisheng, so even if he brought Zhu Yihua in, others would only think that it was the Empress Dowager who summoned King Lu, so of course it would be fine.
I have to say that although Li Wenjin is greedy for money, as an uncle who has no fertility, he is still very good to the children of his sister Empress Dowager Li. Zhu Yihua wanted to enter the palace this night, Li Wenjin directly agreed, took his nephew into his carriage, and went all the way to the palace.
On the way, he asked why Zhu Yihua entered the palace at night, Zhu Yihua trusted him very much, and directly relayed what Gao Pragmatic had just told him to Li Wenjin, and asked Li Wenjin about this matter by the way.
Originally, Zhu Yihua thought that such a difficult problem, and his uncle should be very entangled and cautious when he heard it, but who knew that Li Wenjin's reaction was so fast that he thought he had heard it wrong.
Li Wenjin replied almost without thinking: "What else is there to think about?" If Gao Qiuzhen thinks that he can make money, then he must be able to make money, which is something that there is no need to have any doubts. ”
Zhu Yihua was stunned for a moment, and was about to remind him that the "Little Broken Island" had only a few thousand people, but who knew that Li Wenjin's words had not yet been finished.
I only heard Li Wenjin continue: "The only question to be clarified is why Gao Qiuzhen did this - I mean, is there any bad consequences in this." ”
Zhu Yihua was stunned and said, "What does Uncle mean by this? ”
Li Wenjin looked at his nephew, shook his head slightly, and said: "When it comes to trading, no one in the world can compare with Gao Qiu's truth, especially his vision, which is even more unmatched, and you should agree with this."
But you have to know that Gao Qiuzhen doesn't really think that doing business is very important. A look at his style over the years can be seen. I am afraid that he is only doing business to prove the theory that their family has learned from the world, and it will indeed be of great help to the great tomorrow. ”
Zhu Yihua hesitated: "Then this ......"
"That's the key." Li Wenjin thought about it and said: "He asked you to resign from King Jing's legacy, and then pointed you to a broad road to make money, which seems to be very beneficial to you, but what good is it for him?" Or rather, how is he going to prove that this is good for Daming? ”
Zhu Yihua frowned and said: "It's nothing more than the current rhetoric of the household department, there are too many imaginary numbers in King Jing's legacy, and chasing them one by one will cause public resentment...... Hum. ”
Li Wenjin rolled his eyes: "Is Gao Qiuzhen now the head of the household?" ”
"Uh, no, he's a servant of Rong Zheng." Zhu Yihua obviously didn't understand what his uncle meant.
"Since he's not the head of the household, the trouble of the household department has nothing to do with him? You don't think that Shen Li is a person from the real school, he has to help with everything if he is truth-seeking, right? I heard about the salary of the Praetorian Guards last time, and Shen Like couldn't talk about how to help him. ”
Zhu Yihua was speechless for a while, and then said after a while: "But after all, he is the queen of the Shixue Sect, and he is the nephew of Gao Wen Zhenggong, Shen Li can ignore it, he can't ignore unity at all, right?" ”
Li Wenjin snorted lightly: "Your Highness is still too young, there is a truth you have to understand: the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow." Even if Shen Li can't solve the matter of King Jing's legacy, there is no need for Gao Qiuzhen to reach out to help now-when Shen Li really messes up the errand, wouldn't it be good for him to make a move again? At that time, shouldn't Shen Li be more grateful to Dade? Isn't his high-minded position more secure? ”
Hey? It seems to be the truth.
Zhu Yihua couldn't help but scratch his head.
Li Wenjin saw it and knew that he had accepted his statement, so he muttered: "That's why I said, the most important thing now is what Gao Qiuzhen wants-since that small island is very desolate now, and Zhang Ren, the governor of Liangguang, is Gao Qiuzhen's old colleague, then if he wants to buy this island, I think it should be extremely easy." In this case, he wants to pull you to make a fortune...... Why? ”
Zhu Yihua was a little unconvinced: What is this called? I am King Lu, I am the favorite son of the Queen Mother, the emperor's half-brother, the head of the vassals, and the view of the vassals!
But Li Wenjin obviously didn't care about his look, but narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly said: "There is only one possibility, and that is that he needs Your Highness's signboard." ”
