As a member of the Korean clan, Lee Yoona has a good family background. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The Info school also treats this international student with an extraordinary status very well, and arranges a dormitory for one person to live alone.

It's just that when Li Yun'er arrived in Daming, she seemed very cold, didn't deal with people, didn't have many friends, just studied hard, and didn't know what she was busy with and what she was going to.

"Oh, isn't this Yun'er from our class? What are you stunned about today? At this moment, an older woman greeted with a grin.

Li Yun'er saw the person who came and knew that this was the oldest classmate in the class, who was from Jiaodong, and his family called her Sister Li.

Since they are their own family, the two are a little closer, which made Li Yun'er smile and said, "Sister Li, I want to go to the library." ”

"What library to go to, heck, it's not that you shouldn't go, you should go to it. However, there is a new classmate in our class. But the big name is so famous, this time I entered the school, and I don't know what the discussion in the newspapers outside has become. Sister Li's eyebrows fluttered, and she was very excited.

Li Yun'er was interested: "What is it, making everyone so happy." ”

"Liu is so! Our new classmate is called Liu Rushi! In the big classroom, Professor Fu Shan and Fu Qing rarely applauded and welcomed the new students in person: "Liu Ru is a student who applied for the 278th grade of our history department, which is not only a recognition of our history department from the outside world, but also a pressure. Students, in the next study and life, you must not slack off. I can't see that the classmates around me are advancing by leaps and bounds, but I am a mess. When you look back on this life, I hope that you don't think of eating and waiting for death, but of having a meaningful day on your own. Okay, I won't say anything more. The next class is an open class, and the school invited the inspector of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspection Institute to give a lecture to our students, and students from all faculties will audit. If you have registered, or are interested, you can stay. ”

After Fu Shan finished explaining the matter, a pretty woman also stood on the stage and greeted everyone with a smile.

Lee Yoon-a was originally full of confidence in her appearance and temperament. But today, when I saw Liu Rus, I couldn't help but be surprised: "Daming is really an outstanding person, a random woman comes out, and the master of Beijing is like this...... Gather the essence of heaven and earth. It's all about the city, and it's all about learning......"

With newspapers, news spreads quickly. At the very least, the scope of gossip is also larger. In Beijing, the gossip of Nanjing can also be transmitted. Girls' families like to hear this the most. Li Yun'er is no exception, she naturally knows what kind of character Qin Huai Bayan is.

Famous prostitutes of this level are actually celebrities.

Everyone's ladies may have a little bit to look down on their identity, but the daughter's family is less jealous and more admiring of women who are too much beyond themselves.

Liu Ru accepted everyone's welcome, and briefly introduced herself, and then coincidentally sat down next to Li Yun'er, quietly said hello, wrote down her name, and then started the class.

Fu Shan's classes are very popular, and what talks about contemporary history is what is happening around him. There are also a few graduate students with him, which makes people can't help but show a kind of admiration of the witnesses of the times.

“…… So, the old tributary system went to the point. The new international relations have entered the vision of the empire, and we are greeted by a pioneering and enterprising Ming Dynasty, but also an era in which there is competition, and even wars, annihilations, and ethnic exterminations, which are by no means sensational. Okay, students, that's all for today's lesson. In the next class, we will be lectured by Qin Yushi of the Metropolitan Inspectorate. Fu Shan said, took the lead in applauding, and welcomed Zhu Cihong Yushi to the stage.

Of course, Zhu Cihong used a pseudonym, and everyone called Yushi, but there was no problem.

Everyone didn't recognize that the man in front of them in a solid navy blue uniform was His Majesty the Emperor, and they all listened to Zhu Cihong expectantly talk about the supervision of hundreds of officials by the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

“…… In general, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not be a special messenger under the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor. In the performance of the supervisory function, it is necessary not only to thoroughly investigate major and important cases by curing diseases and saving people, but also to take precautions before they occur. At the institutional level, officials are not given the opportunity to take bribes. Meantime. At the same time, the performance of the supervisory function shall be carried out in strict accordance with the laws and regulations established by the State Council. instead of becoming a tool for power and profit......" Zhu Cihong said very boldly and ahead of his time. It immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Liu Ru stared at the man in front of him with a pair of beautiful eyes, and suddenly showed a sly smile, and those who knew him well understood that this woman who didn't let men have difficult questions to ask.

On the side, Li Yun'er didn't notice Liu Ruye's expression, he just stared in a daze, his heart beating faster. He recognized the man in front of him. It's just that since he wants to hide his identity, he obviously doesn't want others to know.

"Alright, students, do you have any questions?" Zhu Cihong's mouth was dry, he took the opportunity to drink a glass of water, and when he saw that he raised his hand enthusiastically, he answered two questions in a row, and suddenly found that there was a person in the corner on the side, looking anxious, and it was Gu Yanwu.

Zhu Cihong sighed in his heart, but he didn't want to disrupt the pace in front of him: "There is one last chance, is there any other classmate to ask?" ”

Liu Ru raised his hand and looked at Zhu Cihong's gaze, a little sad. She was missed twice.

Zhu Cihong noticed this: "That's this classmate." ”

"Mishi-sama. The student has a question, which he has always been very curious about, but he has never had the opportunity, and he asked the adult to solve the doubt. Liu Ru smiled, with a fire in her eyes.

Zhu Cihong slowly bowed his head: "Please speak." ”

"For the imperial court, may I ask whether it is better to be an incompetent clean official or a capable corrupt official." After Liu finished speaking, there was an uproar in the hall.

It's not that it's criticized, but they're all interested.

"That's right, the incompetent Qing officials occupy a position and don't work, they don't look disgusting, but they can't do it, and it's the country that suffers."

"That capable corrupt official can do something, although he is a little greedy, but who is not greedy now? As long as you get by. Now, I've heard that the elders in my hometown don't want the prefect to be transferred. It was said that they had finally fed one, and now they have to change it again, and everyone is worried. ”

"However, what about the incompetent Qing officials, that is also a Qing official. What about corrupt officials...... Alas, what a troublesome question......"

Liu Ru was a little proud of the students' appreciation of this question, but Li Yun'er on the side stared at Zhu Cihong expectantly: "If it's sister, I'm afraid there will be a wonderful answer to this question in a while." ”

"Oh?" Liu Ru was curious, and she didn't know where Li Yun'er's confidence in this imperial history came from.

After listening to this, Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "This question is very tricky, and it makes people very uncomfortable." That being the case, what about ...... You're welcome. When Wanguo came to Beijing, Jingshi heard that he also opened a Tianzhu restaurant, and the signature was curry. Next for lunch, the classmate went to a restaurant with two choices for her lunch, one was a-like curry and the other was curry-like. Excuse me, which dish do you want to eat? ”

When everyone in the audience heard this, they were stunned on the spot.

The question and the answer are just disgusting. Zhu Cihong would not have thought that when this class spread, the Indian restaurant that had just opened would suddenly face the test of life and death and accept the desertion of the next few years.

One is-like curry and the other is curry-like.

Which one should I have for lunch?

A-like curry, so ugly, who will have an appetite?

Not to mention the curry-like, I guess no one will want to eat, and it's not a wild dog with nothing to eat......

Everyone was stumped, you look at me, I look at you, muttered a few words, muttered a few words, and finally all fell into calm.

After listening to this, Liu Ru was also dumbfounded, and he didn't expect to receive such an answer at all. But soon, he understood Zhu Cihong's question. also knew that his careful thoughts were guessed by the other party.

is a talented woman, but she was solved by someone in such a unique way. Liu Ru was convinced and scared, but her curiosity about the man in front of her rose.

"Does anyone understand my answer?" Zhu Cihong didn't want to waste time and ended the cold field.

Li Yun'er stood up with a smile, looked at Zhu Cihong's surprise, and said, "Of course I don't choose either." ”

Neither of them!

Liu Ru understood that his tricks of preset thinking traps were seen, and the two of them saw it. When the others heard this, they all suddenly realized.

"Of course there are delicious dishes, and there are dishes that are purely disgusting." Zhu Cihong said: "The choice to go is up to us. We can certainly choose neither curry nor curry-like. Returning to the original topic, what kind of officials you want naturally depends on what the court wants. What the court wants, of course, is a capable Qing official. And in fact, even Hai Ruihai Qingtian, who everyone feels is a failure in self-interest, his ability is praised by everyone. In this world, you don't have to be in the same stream to get things done. Many times, there are indeed too many regrets. But the biggest regret is that you could have chosen to be a good person. ”

Bang Bang Bang ......

The sound of applause sounded, Zhu Cihong smiled and bowed in return, and left the classroom, even forgetting to dig the foot of the wall for the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

……

In February, the weather in Edo was getting warmer, and the clouds that seemed to be hanging over the shogun's head gradually dissipated a little. Hearing the report of his subordinates, Tokugawa Iemitsu was overjoyed: "The envoy of the Ming Dynasty, really said so?" ”

In front of him, Abe Tadaaki looked very happy: "That's true. Don't hide it from the lord, the Ming envoy is actually Mr. Wang Fuzhi, the owner of the greenstone study. His previous trip to Japan was originally intended to solve the problems between China and Japan and reopen the door to Sino-Japanese trade. There was even an expeditionary ship that had arrived in Nagasaki earlier. More and more things are enough to show that the Ming Dynasty is indeed interested in reopening trade. ”

"Actually, if Daming reopens trade, I will naturally be very happy." Tokugawa Iemitsu looked happy and worried: "However, hasn't Zheng Zhilong always traded between China and Japan all these years?" Everyone is convinced of the ability of an official. Although the price of raw silk is high, it is much more stable and tolerant than those foreigners. I don't understand how this surprise came so quickly. ”

"My lord, if I hadn't been to Jingshi, I would have the same questions as my lord. But since he learned the history of His Majesty the Emperor's fortune, His Majesty has understood. After Abe Tadaaki finished speaking, he sighed and briefly explained the tax system of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Cihong is a person who pays attention to taxation, and tariffs are a major event. The commercial ports of all parts of the country belong to the three cities of Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and Xiamen in Fujian Province with the highest tariffs.

But under such circumstances, the huge smuggling trade of the Zheng fleet still slipped away.

The local government is basically managed by Zheng Zhilong, but how can Zhu Cihong let go of this rare and huge tax loss?

Interests, to put it bluntly, are still interests.

But again, when this is understood, Tokugawa Iemitsu quickly understands: "Soga...... I see. Since the Ming Dynasty intended to reopen Sino-Japanese trade in exchange for the Satsuma Domain's withdrawal from the Ryukyu Kingdom, this was indeed a very good deal. Totally done! ”

The Japanese invasion of the Ryukyus was of course out of necessity for foreign expansion. However, the most direct and realistic reason is to use the method of backdoor listing to solve the trade blockade of Japan that has always been Ming Dynasty.

If the Ming Dynasty is willing to settle the Ryukyu issue through negotiations, the price of reopening trade between China and Japan will be exchanged for the Ryukyus getting rid of the Satsuma domain.

Wouldn't that be the fulfillment of the wishes of the Japanese people?

This is a good thing that cannot be sought, and it is no wonder that Tokugawa Iemitsu can decide on the spot with almost no thought.

This kind of good thing, Tokugawa Iemitsu does not feel at a loss at all. I don't think it's a loss to the Ryukyu territory. Even, he was very sure that even if the Satsuma Domain, whose interests had suffered the most, learned about it, he would not refuse, and would only think of taking this opportunity to strive for more favorable terms in Sino-Japanese trade.

After all, with the shogunate's control over trade, it did not want the local feudal states to become large and thus threaten the center.

In the end, it seems to be a happy solution.

Even Da Ming didn't feel like he was losing money.

Zhu Cihong and the new generation of officials brought out by Zhu Cihong, such as Wang Fuzhi, Gu Yanwu, and Chen Zhenhui, all understand the benefits of foreign trade. In this case, the Ming Dynasty did not think that it would lose money in exchange for the Ryukyus at the cost of opening trade. At most, it only takes a few colonial companies and trading companies to build up public opinion in the country and talk about the favorable conditions for trading in Japan that the Ming Dynasty has won.

You know, it's not easy to do business with the Japanese. The Ming smuggling merchants were smooth and unmistakable, and that was the charm of raw silk tea porcelain. However, it was very difficult for Dutch, Portuguese, or British people to stay in Japan. Even in later generations, when the American Black Ship Incident was made, it was only with artillery that Japan opened the door of Japan's seclusion.

It's a good thing to get cheap and get even cheaper.
