Zhang Juzheng is the 'fool' in Chen Mu's mouth, but this was not the case when the nomadic decree of the four provinces was issued by the imperial court.

The decree strictly ordered the people to buy their own food rations for March when they went to sea, and it was true that most of the people carried enough food with them before they went to sea, but when they went to sea, some of them ran out of food.

The problem mainly lies in the strict customs defense of Guangdong and Fujian provinces, and the relative laxity of the southern Zhili has given some people who have a good heart to take advantage of it; some grain has been purchased back after the customs defense, and some grain merchants have simply come on board and buy the people's rice and grain at prices higher than usual.

Everyone thought that the voyage might not last as long as three months, and that everyone thought that they would be fine when they arrived in the New World hungry - to be fooled into buying food for silver.

In their opinion, in the past, the New World also had to buy land, even if the land price was low, silver money was indispensable, and if there was money, they could buy more land!

There is not much food, just a small shortage.

What can truly be called a catastrophe happens at sea.

When passing through Japan, the price of goods in Japan just after the end of the war soared, and the business run by merchants from all over the world under the command of the former daimyo and now the governor Tongzhi became the last carnival, and they did not miss any opportunity to make a fortune, and exchanged useless weapons and goods for grain from the hands of the common people and grain merchants at high prices.

On the one hand, the grain merchants who held the grain in their hands were worried that the small boats storing the grain would be discovered by the patrol ships of the Beiyang Flag Army, and they were also worried that in the future, if the people on the same ship were hungry and crazy, they would be hacked against them, and a large amount of grain was resold by taking advantage of the short opportunity of docking in Japan.

Most eyes that can spot business opportunities can also be used to spot crises.

After going to sea for more than a month, the Beiyang Flag warships ran out of grain and grass and began to carry grain from the civilian ships that were heavy ships, and until now they did not know what kind of crisis was being bred on the thousands of civilian ships.

First, there was a grain thief, and after being discovered, he was directly killed under the strict military law of the Beiyang Banner Army, but the situation was not much better, and it evolved into a robbery in a few days.

Hunger is the greatest motivation of human beings, and hunger is fearless.

There are many people on the civilian boats and few flag troops, and the flag army that opens warehouses and releases grain without authorization out of compassion has; The indifference to the end of the flag army that shocked the people in the cabin, there is; There are those who are really invincible and burn down the ship with a fire; There are also those who were killed by the people or forced into the sea to drown.

The vast sea blocked the geographical space and became a closed cage, and when the disaster occurred, the flag army surrounded the civilian ships trying to escape with guns and cannons, and things would have been much earlier.

In fact, these 100,000 soldiers and civilians were able to arrive safely in Majiagang, and they all had to thank one person.

This man is dark-skinned, his figure is not blessed, but he is not old and sturdy, wearing a scarlet robe and being guided by the flag army to enter the atrium of the port yamen, and he has bowed down: "Xiaguan Hairui, open military rations to feed the people, and be willing to be punished slightly." ”

In the official hall, Chen Mu was talking to Acosta, and Hai Rui's sudden bow made him get up in a hurry, close to losing his temper.

"Haigong, please hurry up, Chen can't stand this big gift."

To tell the truth, Chen Mu, who was overwhelmed by the fact that 100,000 soldiers and civilians came to the east, saw this resolute face and wanted to scold his mother, and squeezed out a sentence from his teeth: "Who sent you?" ”

Our Asian strategy hasn't made any great results, so what's the matter with the imperial court sending this great god first?

Hai Rui got up slowly, and Chen Mu's personal soldiers beside him presented the lacquer plate, which contained the edict of the Asian deputy envoy, the letters of the imperial court, and Hai Rui's report on the release of grain at sea.

Hai Jui exercised the functions and powers of the deputy envoy to Asia at sea, killed the grain merchants who caused the disaster and the culprits who snatched the military rations from the officials and soldiers, and captured the flag army who released grain without permission in accordance with the Beiyang military law, opened a warehouse and released 90,000 stone of grain, stabilized the hearts of the people, and took the responsibility for the crime.

Half of the year's military rations were eaten, Chen Mu should scold his mother and scold his mother, but with 100,000 people as the priority, he didn't think Hai Rui had done anything wrong, and he would definitely do the same at sea.

Hai Jui is not a fierce face, on the contrary, he is very flexible.

In the early years, Hu Zongxian was the governor, Hu's son passed by Chun'an County, which was ruled by Hai Rui, and was angry with the post guard, and hung the family upside down.

Hai Jui said: No! In the past, Governor Hu inspected and inspected the yamen in various places, and ordered not to be extravagant, Governor Hu is a good official, and his son must also be a good person, but now this person is richly dressed, he must not be Governor Hu's son, arrest him!

When he opened the bag, Hu Zongxian's son brought thousands of taels of gold, but Hai Rui did not receive it from the county treasury, and he also sent someone Pegasus to report to Hu Zongxian, saying that someone was pretending to be the governor's son.

Hu Zongxian didn't have anything to do with Hai Rui, and even wanted to laugh a little.

Hai Rui makes officialdom hate and Chen Mu is afraid of not him, not him, but his incomprehension of the so-called 'human feelings'.

As far as Chen Mu is concerned, what kind of subordinates does he like? Like Shao Tingda and Fu Yuan, remember in my heart that I am kind to you, I will continue to be gracious, and you will continue to repay the kindness, no matter when you support me unconditionally, everyone is good.

Don't look at everyone who says they hate this relationship, but what they hate is other people's relationships, and their own relationships don't hate them at all.

But Hai Rui is an outlier, he doesn't tell you about human feelings, he reasoned with you, once the reason doesn't make sense, it is possible to blow up the benefactor.

Xu Jie was kind to Hai Rui, a great kindness, when others wanted to hang Hai Rui, he was pressed down by Xu Jie.

When Gao Gongdou fell to Xu, he wanted to kill Xu Jie's death with the fact that Xu Jie's early years wrote green words to Emperor Jiajing to cover the Taoist temple, but Hai Rui could understand Xu Jie's self-protection of writing green words to please the emperor under the strict party's rule, and felt that Xu Jie's contribution to the country, so he wrote to defend Xu Jie.

But when Hai Rui was in charge of Yingtian and Qingzhang Tianmu governed the land annexation, the question between him and Xu Jie would not make sense, and he wanted to govern Yingtian and annex Songjiang Mansion first, because Songjiang had a total of 9 million mu of fields, and the old Xu family had 150,000 mu, accounting for one-sixtieth of the total.

In Hai Jui's view, it is one thing to be gracious, and it is another thing to be guilty.

If you want to do it, you can do it big, and you almost have to take out the cool politics of the Hongwu Dynasty to do it...... As a result, the Xu family returned 40,000 acres of land, and was invited by the merger and reduction of Tianfu and the local officials, but Hai Rui's officials were also dismissed.

"The old man just doesn't know anything."

Hai Rui didn't say a word at the end of the day, and Chen Mu didn't understand what he didn't understand, but Hai Rui didn't sell it, and Chen Mu was an old acquaintance, and said: "The old man went back to Jiangling for funeral, why did he have to sit in a sedan chair with thirty-two lifts, the old man really didn't understand." ”

"The two of them can't walk when they lift it? Horse-drawn carts, ox-carts, and donkey carts will not work? Is it undignified to go down to the ground by yourself? ”

Hai Rui's face was filled with indescribable sadness, and he looked at Chen Mu and said: "I wrote a letter to Your Majesty, I want to ask, but no one answers-the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty is not like this, and the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty should not be like this." ”

Chen Mu took a deep breath, he understood why Hai Rui came over, but he didn't know what to say for a while, and turned his head a little embarrassed only to find that Brother Acosta was standing aside tremblingly, staying or leaving.

He waved his hand and said, "Go back, monk, go to Mexico City and convey my request to the Duke of your country, the grain trade, the sooner the better, every seven days, the purchase price will be reduced by two percent, and after five seven days, there will be no need to talk about the matter, I will take them to get it." ”
