Chapter 718: One for you, one for me

Righteous and awe-inspiring!

The quatrain of the ages has its own sky-high blue spirit.

Father-in-law Wei's gaze is extremely deep and his attitude is very resolute, just like the bottomless abyss ahead, even if it is a bottomless abyss in front of him, he will resolutely jump down for the sake of faith.

Xiongguan Mandao is really like iron, and now it is stepping forward from the beginning!

For the sake of millions of people in the world, our personal safety is nothing.

It's a pity that this is not the big world of cultivation, otherwise, this perception alone will definitely help Gonggong Wei break through in one fell swoop and successfully build a foundation.

It's a pity that this scene can't be recorded and sent back to Jingshi, otherwise, the emperor will definitely be very moved.

It's also a pity that there weren't many intellectuals present.

Zheng Duo, who was born as a concubine in North Korea, is half an intellectual, and he can barely feel the sea of stars in the heart of Gonggong Wei.

And Cao Wenyao, who was born in a family of Xingwu, is a preparatory intellectual, and he knows every word that Wei Gonggong says, but he can't understand it when he connects them.

But this did not affect Cao Wenyao's reverence for Father-in-law Wei, whose rhetoric was as thought-provoking as naming his son.

The rest of the Sanada guards had no compulsory education, so they basically said goodbye to bicycles.

The most direct consequence of the lack of intellectuals is that Father-in-law Wei rarely has a strong righteousness, but he has not been set off to a higher level.

Chen Fu must be regarded as an intellectual, and he can't be the supervisor of the internal garrison department of the five grades without culture. What Father-in-law Wei said did make him sigh.

is worthy of being a reader, the head of the government examination...

Chen Fu admired in his heart, there were so many eunuchs and eunuchs in the palace, and there were few who could say such insightful words.

That sentence of profiteering, life and death, can be very moving.

At the beginning, Gonggong Liu said that Wei Liangchen was the head of the government test case of Hejian Mansion before he was clean, and he was quite talented, but he didn't think so at the time, thinking that this case leader was only half a talent at best, how much insight he could have, and his ability to have today is still related to the Zheng family. Now it seems that this young man can enter the eyes of the emperor, and he can take on the heavy responsibility of going out at a young age, which is not something that the word "luck" can be carried with one stroke.

Regardless of the consequences, just looking at the methods of this person since he went south, it is absolutely unacceptable, no wonder Liu Gonggong has to praise the terrible afterlife.

It's just that he was moved and admired, but Chen Fu didn't change his attitude because of this, he sighed slightly, and asked: "Since Gonggong Wei said that the interests of the country and the interests of the emperor are the most important, then our family is strange, if you seal the river and ban the sea, don't you put the cart before the horse, so that the great interests of the country will turn into the great harm of the country." ”

Gonggong Wei understood what Chen Fu was referring to, and he couldn't help but ask: "There are great benefits in maritime affairs, but what does this great benefit have to do with the imperial court, and what does it have to do with the emperor?" ”

"It's related."

Chen Fu casually touched a leaf card, opened it and saw that it was eight o'clock, and couldn't help laughing, and then said meaningfully to Wei Gong: "Don't make the maritime merchants harmful, don't make the rebellion recur, so that the southeast half of the wall has no beacon smoke, and it will be a great benefit to the emperor in the imperial court." ”

This is translated into the statement of Gonggong Wei in his previous life, that is, stability overrides everything.

Peace in the world has been what rulers have wanted to see since ancient times.

Longqing switched to the Chongzhen Dynasty, and the sea trade brought hundreds of millions of taels of silver income to the Ming Dynasty, which is really a big benefit, and it must be known that the annual income of the Ming Dynasty's treasury is only a few million taels.

Such great benefits did bring stability to the southeast for the Ming Dynasty.

However, Gonggong Wei knew very well that it was not the central government of the Ming Dynasty or the emperor who obtained great benefits, otherwise, history would have to be rewritten.

On that day, his father-in-law Wei did not propose to Wanli on a whim to "make a fortune", but he had already had this intention.

Stability must not be premised on sacrificing national interests.

"Can we understand what Gonggong Chen said in this way?" Gonggong Wei thought about how to use the most straightforward words to be concise.

Chen Fu glanced at Father-in-law Wei with interest: "But it's okay to talk about it." ”

"Noisy children have milk to eat." Gonggong Wei said.

Chen Fu was a little surprised: "How do you say this?" ”

"Because I am afraid that the maritime merchants will turn into widows, I ignore the interests of the country and give them up, isn't it just that the children will have milk to eat." Gonggong Wei shook his head, "Therefore, we don't think it's appropriate, if we give up the maritime benefits to them today, can we also hand over the heavy weapons of the military country to them tomorrow." As long as they don't make trouble, the court will have to satisfy them endlessly? ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the maritime merchants and the Japanese were equal, and the difference was only whether the sea ban was open or not. To some extent, calling Haikou a Japanese is just a Ming Dynasty official who deceived himself and others.

In this way, there are two purposes, one is to protect people, and the other is to save face.

It was the gentry and the strong along the coast who were the protectors, because they were not only the main body and source of the Japanese pirates, but also the cornerstone of maintaining the local rule of the Ming Dynasty.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Japanese rebellion lasted so long during the Jiajing period and could not be pacified.

In general, the bandit suppressor and the exterminated are the same person.

That wants to save face, and it is the face of the court that you are protecting.

It is better to talk about the Japanese than to talk about the local civil unrest, and the officials should have face, and the army should also have face.

It doesn't matter if you can't defeat the Japanese bandits, it's too unreasonable if you can't defeat the local rebels.

Why are the Japanese Kou gone now, isn't it because the imperial court has ceded the maritime profits to them?

If there is money to earn, there will naturally be no robbers.

Chen Fu disagreed with what Father-in-law Wei said, he said: "If Shang turns into Kou, the southeast is in chaos, is it in line with Father-in-law Wei's wishes?" ”

"What we mean is to seek stability through compromise, and then stability will be like a mirror, and it will eventually be empty. However, if stability is sought through struggle, stability will last forever. "Father-in-law Wei emphasized his own way, he came to run maritime affairs as an old man, and it was a struggle for stability, not a compromise for stability.

"Huh?"

Chen Fu frowned, "Gonggong Wei thinks that if the river is sealed and the sea is banned, it will be stable?" ”

"No, no, no, Gonggong Chen misunderstood what we meant."

It is necessary for Gonggong Wei to explain his thinking to Chen Fu and the garrison hall of the Nandu behind him, "The reason why we want to do this sealing of the river and the sea is not that we really want to seal the river and the sea and cut off this sea trade, first, we don't have the ability, and second, we still want to fight for the court and the emperor." ”

"Knowing that it is advantageous, why are you confused?" Chen Fuwei failed to keep up with Grandpa Wei.

Father-in-law Wei had a headache, and immediately had an idea, motioned to Sanada to bring a piece of dim sum and put it on the table, took the chopsticks and divided it into several pieces, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Chen, this maritime benefit is like this piece of dim sum in front of us, you have a piece, I have a piece, the dim sum is so big, it is called to cross it, where is the piece of the court, and where is the piece of the emperor?" ”

Chen Fu snorted: "Then your father-in-law Wei is going to swallow the dim sum alone?" Beware of strangling you. The words are self-reliant, and Gonggong Wei has a master, but this little bit is the master.

"No, no, no, we don't want to swallow this piece of dim sum alone, but to make this piece of dim sum bigger." Wei Gonggong took a few more snacks and put them on the table, and patiently told them to Chen Fu.

"Father-in-law Chen, please look, now one piece has become two, three, four... What we mean is that the original one will be returned to them, and the second piece will go to the imperial court, and the rest will go to the emperor. Gonggong Chen must know that only when the dim sum is made bigger, there are many people who can get from it. Otherwise, this good thing is so good that people can get it, and we won't even be allowed to touch it, why? ”
