Chapter V: Imperial Discussions
The early dynasty made Emperor Wanli drowsy, and Chen Mu went out of class to ask for a stimulant shot for the little emperor.
He hadn't seen Chen Mu, but this didn't prevent Wanli from guessing that Zhang Juzheng, Wang Guoguang, Tan Lun and other white-bearded old men in the court class were mixed with a heroic and extremely official young figure.
Wanli has been waiting, waiting for Chen Mu to come out of class to play, because that is the protagonist of today's court meeting.
The emperor is not the only one who has the same thoughts, Chen Mu's invitation has different meanings in the eyes of different people.
"It has been four years since the first emperor opened the sea ban, granted ministers to Nanyang, took full authority over foreign affairs, and agreed to lose one million taels of silver to the country every year. The minister felt that the first emperor ruled the country with great effort to save food and clothing, so when he first arrived overseas, he set a charter for the Ming royal family to invest three points in the prosperity of maritime business, and lost 800,000 taels of silver to the inner treasury in four years for the royal family's expenditure; In addition, every year, according to the agreement, one million taels of silver were sent to the households, and since the completion of the Luzon incident, various incomes have increased, since the first year of Wanli, the Beijing transportation has increased to two million taels, and a total of six million taels of silver have been transferred to the household in four years. ”
"The minister has lived up to the great trust of the first emperor, and every year in the future, the Nanyang Military Government will escort 2.2 million taels of silver to Beijing."
"In the past four years, the king of Luzon, the king of the east, the west of Sulu, the king of Dong, the king of the Ryukyu, the general army of Borneo, the king of Java, the king of Aceh, the king of Champong, the king of Siam, the king of the lion and other countries have paid tribute to Beijing; The Spanish envoy went to Nanjing to sign a treaty, the king of Annam confessed his guilt and surrendered to the law, the rebellion was quelled by three proclamations and six consolations, the foreign Ming people and Haikou reformed the evil and returned to the right, and the Ming merchant ships went west from Malacca to India and east to Japan, purchasing curiosities and bringing back raw materials to promote commercial production in the country......"
Yes, that's what it feels like!
The little emperor Wanli gritted his teeth lightly, and the little hand in the sun and moon robe gently hammered the dragon chair, this is what Zhang Juzheng and Zhao Shizhen felt when they gave him a lesson, when explaining those things outside the Ming Dynasty, it didn't matter if they were the most clean imperial chief assistant or a young mechanical unit, whenever they talked about this, the way they spoke changed, the words were easy to understand, and they didn't pay attention to the neatness of the battle.
Although those words were often said by Zhang Juzheng, he knew that the real teacher was someone else, and that was the minister of Nanyang who was now talking about Nanyang outside the class!
Only he could write such a textbook!
"I ......"
Usually the emperor will not interrupt the minister's report in the court, and he will wait until he finishes speaking, but this time Wanli made an exception, and after interrupting, he asked: "I have read the accounts of the Nanyang Military Government, and it is strange that 2.3 million taels were recorded in the first year, and 2.7 million taels were recorded in the second year, this is because of the war with Xiyi, and the goods on the ship took two years to sell, and they have so many goods on the ship?" Daming can't sell out in two years? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it's not, it's a Spanish royal merchant ship, they call that ship Manila galleon, once a year, from Manila to Mexico City in Armerica, to sell it to Xiyi merchants, a shipload of goods worth 1.2 million taels of silver, if sold into the country, it can only be sold for a million taels, but sold to Portugal, but sold to Portugal, it can sell more than 1.6 million taels of silver, the ministers only need silver, the Portuguese merchants in the first year did not have so much silver, so they can only wait for them to prepare enough silver in the next year to buy."
Chen Mu said this very slowly, he was waiting, waiting for the unreasonable foolish officials to jump out and scold him, and asked him where the remaining flowers of the 2.7 million yuan in the account were in addition to the 1.2 million yuan of the imperial court, and whether he had swallowed it in his pocket.
It's a pity that no, no courtier is a fool, first of all, the Nanyang Military Mansion is not regulated, rather than attacking this, it is better to scold him for hiding armor, and besides, people know where the silver flowers are, this is not a secret, and the Nanyang Military Mansion has no secrets.
Emperor Wanli nodded as if he didn't understand it, and the impression in his heart that the Portuguese people were stupid and had a lot of money suddenly improved a lot of favor towards them who had fought in the early years, and then he frowned and thought for a while before saying: "Yes, I still want to ask you, how is the implementation of the Nanyang Four Throws, and the results can be seen?" ”
The so-called Nanyang Santou is also where Chen Mu spends his money, the full name is "Nanyang Military Government Production, Technology, People's Livelihood, Talent Investment Plan", the name is Chen Muqi, and the song is Gao Gong, just to make it clear where Chen Mu spends all the money, and there can be no more '800,000 taels of Chen Shuai'.
Chen Mu really didn't expect that Emperor Wanli would be interested in this at a young age, his thing was actually written by Gao Gong for the courtiers to see, and he didn't expect Wanli to understand.
"Back to Your Majesty, the so-called four investments, refers to investment in production, investment in technology, investment in people's livelihood, investment in talents, because of the vast territory of our Ming Dynasty, most of them are temporarily limited to Guangdong, pay attention to the special use of funds. Invest in production and deliver it to the two Guangbu political secretaries to encourage merchants to increase production, farmers to increase grain production, and craftsmen to create new tools, 200,000 taels per year. ”
"Invest in technology and hand over to the Ministry of Industry to develop new ordnance and new appliances, 50,000 taels per year; Invest in people's livelihood, the repair and daily supply of leaky gardens, nursing homes and Huimin pharmacies in various places, which is nationwide, 200,000 to 400,000 taels per year; The investment talents will be used to establish social studies in various places, send some meat to the teaching man, subsidize some orphans and poor post-graduate students to go to school, and innovate the tactics and equipment of the North and South Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and plan to join the funding of the Nanzhi Lecture Academy. ”
"The main purpose is two, one is in better technology and more output can make Daming overseas trade routes have more advantages, don't make a piece of cloth to six dollars of silver, I only have five dollars of silver for a piece of machine cloth, better than him, I still have to earn, people from other countries will only buy mine, buy cotton from them, sell cloth, one in and one out, it is a win-win situation, Daming wins twice."
"The second is to quell the rebellion and avoid the worries of civil war."
When Chen Mu said a win-win situation, the courtiers were not moved, they still listened quietly, some of them were drowsy, the influence of overseas on Beijing was still too weak, as the best ministers of the empire, of course they could understand what Chen Mu was saying, but no one cared...... Overseas affairs are too far away, and the country is like a bird waiting to be fed, and it is enough to wait for Chen Mu, a big bird that went out to hunt, to come back and feed.
What's more, the so-called 'Chen Xue' is only popular among the first assistant Zhang Juzheng, the second assistant Lu Tiaoyang, the military department Shangshu Tan Lun, the household department Shangshu Wang Guoguang and the Wanli Emperor.
Others don't understand.
But when he said that the second purpose was to quell the rebellion and avoid the worries of war, the court suddenly became noisy.
"Huh?"
Zhang Juzheng turned around, his calm gaze swept over the courtiers, where this gaze went, there was silence, and when the courtiers were quiet, he gave up his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Chen Shuai has made great contributions, leave him in the palace after the court meeting to solve your Majesty's doubts, the court meeting will continue, please discuss other ministers first, Chen Shuai?" ”
Zhang Juzheng said that, Chen Mu bowed his hand to the emperor and returned to the court, Emperor Wanli was still unsatisfied, but he could only let the court meeting continue.
Let Chen Mu continue to say, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have to stand with him for three days and three nights, the emperor has such a strong desire for knowledge, can he finish it in three days and three nights?
The middle-aged god felt that the matter of feasting Chen Mu with the five ministries and halls was probably going to be pushed back.
The most important thing is that Zhang Ju cares about regulation, and although Chen Mu's actions are for the country and the people, they are not compliant, but this person still arches himself and should not be demolished.
But this is enough for the unruly troublemaker, and you can't let others learn it.
The rebellion will be gone, ///14_14088/
