Zheng Ci grinned bitterly, "My lord, now there is no place for me in the court, if my lord has a way, the lower officials will be grateful!" ”

Liu Chun smiled generously: "Lord Zheng, don't be polite, it's just a trivial matter, after all, I don't have the ability to leave you in the imperial court." ”

Zheng Ci's eyes widened in shock, could it be that Liu Chun was playing with him?

"Lord Zheng, since they are all gone, what are you still doing in the court?"

Listen up! Is this human talk?

Obviously, you are in the court, saying that I am just against changing the law, those people are scheming, forming a party for personal gain, we are different, you, why did you change the hexagram?

Zheng Ci stared at Liu Chun in surprise.

"Don't be so surprised, the same goes out, there are differences, think about it yourself." After Liu Chun finished speaking, he got into the carriage and went straight to the mansion.

Zhu Di's way of making money is simple and crude, but it is absolutely feasible.

Dongfan Island has successively delivered two batches of cane sugar to Daming, with hundreds of ships.

After the influx of sugar, it was obvious that the entire diet of Daming had changed.

The most obvious thing is that the sweetness of various pastries has increased significantly, and even the stalls of tofu brain can put cane sugar, and there is a lot more sweetness in the dishes.

And those overseas businessmen who live in Daming are like crazy, after all, their ideal paradise is only flowing with milk and honey.

Now that the price of sugar in Daming is outrageously cheap, how much difference can it be from heaven?

Not only did they not live without sugar, but they also bought it aggressively, and although the price of sugar increased tenfold when it was shipped back home, it was still very cheap.

It's a delicacy that you can't get into.

I heard that in farther places, ordinary people can't see it at all, only those top ladies can add a piece of sugar to their teacups, taste the rare sweetness, if you can add two pieces, it is definitely a queen's level of enjoyment.

They even believe that sucrose has incredible curative effects, and if you get sick, you can come back to life and come back to life in situ as long as you drink a glass of sugar water.

Well, maybe there is an exaggeration, but cane sugar has become another staple commodity of Daming, whether it is domestic or foreign, it has been strongly sought after.

As the main producer of sugar, the price of land on Dongfan Island has doubled compared to before, and the first group of people who invested have all made a fortune.

At the beginning, some people complained that the court was too harsh, but now they have nothing to say, and they only hate that they voted too little at the beginning.

At the same time, in the direction of Annam, a large amount of grain was also imported into the Ming Dynasty. Although food is a regulated commodity and its price is not so exaggerated, it is still very profitable.

There is now an urgent demand that the auction of land in both places continue.

It's just interesting that the main culprit restricting land auctions is not the loss of land, but the lack of manpower.

During this time, Li Jinglong has been tossing overseas, in his words, is to pee everywhere and mark the territory.

Heading south from Dongfan, he found Luzon, and then continued south, where he discovered a staggering number of fertile islands.

It's just that these islands are too big, and the islands are full of dense forests, but in the flat places by the sea, there will be some indigenous tribes.

Li Jinglong saw it in his eyes, he was in a hurry!

It is a crime that there are not enough people to occupy such a good place.

He desperately hoped that the imperial court would increase its efforts to develop overseas.

It was under this request that Zhu Di came up with the idea of sending a spokesperson overseas.

Some people may want to say that these people are all scholars, they can't do it, they can only talk about it, how to know how to govern the place, how to collect money for the court, Your Majesty uses them, it is completely nonsense.

If this was said a year ago, Zhu Di might have believed it.

But now Zhu Di only has two words: hehe!

How is Xie Jin?

can be regarded as an example of a literati, and he was thrown to Annam, this thing is completely self-free, and all kinds of tricks to collect money are simply incredible.

He made a lot of rules, one of which even stipulated that the people of Annam were not allowed to use copper door knockers. It also requires every household to donate pig iron, if not, it will be converted into silver, if there is no silver, then it will be converted into grain, not even food, then I'm sorry, Dongfan Island to grow sugarcane!

Among the 800,000 taels that Xie Jin sent to Zhu Di, they were obtained by selling strong labor. He sent 800,000 taels to Zhu Di, and only he knew what he put into his purse.

There is absolutely no doubt about the IQ of these literati, they don't know how to do anything, and they have never heard that they can't make money.

Even if half of these 100 people are iron-clad, aren't there still fifty usable people? Let them compete to make money, how much benefit should it bring to the court?

They are much more effective than those who can only loot and burn.

And at this moment, these officials still can't understand the painstaking efforts of the Yongle Emperor.

From a noble speech official to a criminal official assigned overseas, what a big gap this is!

O Annan, it is a place farther than the ends of the earth.

From then on, they left their homeland and never came back, and maybe they would die at sea, and they could not even find their bodies, and they became lonely ghosts on the sea...... Help me!

Officials are like ants on a hot pot, exhausted by all means, but useless.

Finally, the list of assignments came out, in addition to those who told Lian Zining, there were more than a dozen people who had poor grades because of previous evaluations, and a total of 110 people were gathered.

Honorably became the first batch of expatriate magistrates in the Ming Dynasty.

In order to give them a little dignity, Liu Chun was also very considerate and gave each person a big red flower.

He also used red satin, made a cross, and tied it to his chest, just like the groom's officer. Even on the black gauze hat, there are a few pheasant feathers.

If you ignore the expressions of their dead mothers, it is really like marrying a new daughter-in-law.

"Come on, the big guys all laugh and laugh happily!"

Liu Chun waved his hand, and suddenly the drum music sounded, the cheerful suona, the big drum of Dong Dong, it was really like the New Year.

"Laugh, hurry up, be happy, today is a great day, and a great future awaits you!"

Liu Chun encouraged the big guys, but these people, look at me, I look at you, how careless you have to be to laugh! Liu Chun, you can fool people!

Some people squatted on the ground, covering their faces and crying bitterly.

Someone else simply sat on the ground and said, "Kill me!" I don't want to be a ghost! ”

Their heart-rending wails made Liu Chun very unhappy. It's a shame that he's also an official of the imperial court! I've been thinking about it for years, and I've always been planning to go overseas.

The price was 50 million, but Zhu Di didn't agree.

You bunch of things, I don't know, people let you out, but you don't want to go, stay in Daming, waiting to eat fart!

Since you don't know what to do, don't blame me.

"Ladies and gentlemen, in order to ensure the smooth sailing of this time, there is another person who has taken the initiative to ask for permission to go to sea with you.

Who?

Who would be so stupid?

When the big guy was at a loss, Zheng Ci took heavy steps and appeared in front of everyone, he said with a straight face: "The old man wants to go to sea with you, from now on, we will be in the same boat, and I hope that you can change your past mistakes and truly be single-minded and one-hearted!" “

"What?"

Zheng Ci also wants to go to sea?

What the hell is this?

Someone wants to laugh three times, aren't you different from us? Why was it sent overseas? I thought I would raise my hand to you, but the result is not the same!

It can be seen from this that people want to clean you up, but you can't escape, this is fate!

With one more unlucky bastard, everyone was in a slightly better mood, but soon they realized something. In what capacity is this Zheng Ci sent overseas?

While these people were thinking, Liu Chun directly revealed the mystery.

"Your Majesty has added Lord Zheng to the post of Imperial Historian of the Right Capital, and has been ordered to patrol Dongfan and the Nanyang Islands, and he is your top boss. By the way, let me tell you one more thing, just now His Majesty promoted Xie Jin to be the governor of Annam, he and Lord Zheng are in charge of the island and the land, you must obey the overall arrangement of the two adults in the future, Your Majesty looks forward to your meritorious service for the imperial court! ”

Zheng Ci still kept a straight face, "Please tell Your Majesty Lord Liu that Zheng Ci will do his best to enrich the treasury at any cost!" ”

Liu Chun was satisfied, "If there is Lord Zheng, I will be relieved." Come on, prepare the drinks, and practice for you. ”

What else do you drink?

All the adults present are going to cry. On the Golden Palace, they sold Zheng Ci together, thinking that His Majesty would take Zheng Ci to the knife. As a result, the peaks and loops turned, and the unlucky ones became them.

It's miserable enough to be sent overseas, and they also got a top boss who has a grudge against them, God, this still doesn't let people live?

Looking at the appearance of these people, Zheng Ci suddenly realized.

Where to go differently?

As long as you have the power in your hands, even if you are overseas, you have the final say.

And when you go overseas, you can still do whatever you want, don't you brutes want to see Lao Tzu unlucky? This time I'll kill you to death, and no one cares!

"Listen, this time when you go to sea, everyone must make a military order, and within a year, you can't hand over more than 500,000 taels, and this official will ask the court for guilt on your behalf!"

Excuse us for sin?

What kind of operation is this, surnamed Zheng, don't go too far, be an official in the same dynasty, so you can save some face!

"Lord Zheng, on the occasion of parting, I have here the flag of His Majesty's royal order, overseas affairs, your lord has the right to act arbitrarily, all officials below the third grade, first cut and then play!"

Finished!

Now it completely fell into the hands of my stepmother, and I can't even think about dying.

Zheng Ci was greatly encouraged, and hurriedly said: "Lord Liu, don't worry, if the lower officials can't complete the mission of the imperial court, they are willing to accept the guilt with everyone." ”

The officials are really convinced, no wonder the officials are so big! This cheeky is thick enough, you yourself brag about the military order, why are you involved in us?

Not a son of man!

No matter how much they wail and slander, Liu Chun has completed his mission, so let's hurry up and return to life.

Liu Chun saw Zhu Di, and the first thing he said was, "Your Majesty, the minister estimates that the money is almost enough, at least the cost of this year's education is enough." ”

Zhu Di's head is big, and after spending so much effort, it is only enough for a year, what kind of sin did I create, and I actually agreed to study?

Zhu Di said listlessly: "Deliver the decree, three days later, there will be a big banquet in the palace, and all the local officials will be present, and I have something to tell them." ”
