Chapter 791: Chongzhen's Wisdom
Qin Shuhuai saw Chongzhen's longing expression, and he was also moved.
I'm about to leave here, so it's good to go out with Chongzhen for a while, I'm afraid I won't have this opportunity in the future.
In addition, on the journey, you can also find another opportunity to talk to Chongzhen about the governance philosophy of the later generations, and you can influence him as much as you can.
So he said, "That's okay, since the emperor wants to make a private visit to observe the people's feelings, the ministers will definitely escort him." It's just that as far as the minister knows, the girl Liu Yan seems to have met a talented scholar, and the two are in love, and the scholar took the money to help her redeem herself, and then left with him. ”
Chongzhen slapped his thigh very unwillingly, "Hey, when did it happen, I always wanted to see her!
Qin Shuhuai smiled, "In the past two years, the Ming Dynasty has been in ruins, the subjects have all worked hard, and the emperor is even more prosperous, if the minister tells you that this matter distracts you, wouldn't it be a courtier who induces the emperor to be absurd and lascivious? If Sun Ge Lao knows, he won't use a crutch to beat the minister? Besides, the minister still wants to be a loyal minister for a hundred years." ”
Chongzhen said with a smile, "You are Mr. Sun's proud work, and he is more proud than me, the protégé of the Son of Heaven, so he is reluctant to beat you! You go and listen to the "Anguo Gong Biography" said by the storytellers in the teahouse, the first chapter of the first chapter is "Sun Ge Lao happened to meet the young man, and the three troubles said that he forgot to make friends with the New Year", in which how Mr. Sun met you, and how he invited you to Liu is Academy, you said that if Teacher Sun didn't tell others about it, how could it be spread?"
Chongzhen didn't wronged Sun Chengzong at all.
In the past two years, Sun Chengzong has more time to lecture at Liushi Academy. In their spare time, the favorite thing for those students to ask is about Grandpa Guo.
Speaking of which, Qin Shuhuai was recommended to the imperial court by Sun Chengzong, so every time he mentioned Grandpa Guo, Sun Chengzong was proud, and then made a pot of good tea and told his students.
Among them, his friendship with Qin Shuhuai is the highlight, can he not talk about it in detail?
That's why there are so many materials for storytellers, so that they can use enough space to talk about their encounter.
Speaking of this "Biography of An Guogong", Qin Shuhuai also smiled bitterly.
I don't know who made it up, but this book directly portrays him as a god who is omnipotent in heaven and earth, and what summoned heavenly fire in Hengling, and burned 80,000 Tartar soldiers. In Luo Wenyu, the god will possess him, leading Meng Hu, Meng Wei, and Li Jingting to kill tens of thousands of Tartars and the like, blowing it to the sky.
Fortunately, in this book, Chongzhen is also depicted as another star in the sky, which is also wise and martial, otherwise Chongzhen can't help it, and Qin Shuhuai himself wants to ban it.
couldn't help but say, "Does the emperor also listen to these nonsense?"
"Why is it nonsense? I think this book can let my people know how difficult it is to live a good life today, and let them know that now the court is wise and virtuous, and they can live their small life with peace of mind, isn't this wonderful? Hehe, I am also listening to it when I have time!"
Qin Shuhuai thought to himself, didn't you secretly rub this book to make it up?
If you think about it, this probability is indeed very large.
Why?
Originally, Qin Shuhuai's prestige had reached an unparalleled level, and even without this "Anguo Gong Biography", the people still regarded him as a figure who descended from heaven and saved the common people.
But Chongzhen is different, before this "Biography of An Guogong", most of the people just thought that Chongzhen was a benevolent and good emperor, and it was all the credit of An Guogong to pacify the world.
In "The Biography of An Guogong", there are a large number of passages written about how Chongzhen wisely formulated an anti-gold strategy, how he shouted iron-clad "The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the gentleman dies in the society", and how he wisely reuses Qin Shuhuai without listening to slander, and even treats Qin Shuhuai as a brother.
Emmm, in this way, Chongzhen's image is very positive and three-dimensional.
The people's worship and gratitude to this emperor are even closer.
Thinking about it this way, if Chongzhen hadn't instructed others to write this book, I really couldn't think of a second possibility!
But Qin Shuhuai was very happy that Chongzhen knew how to use the tools of public opinion to build momentum for himself, obviously drawing on his previous method of compiling "The Biography of the Literary Traitor" when Dou Donglin was compiling, which shows that his political wisdom is increasing day after day.
The two chatted like this for a long time, and Qin Shuhuai really succeeded in rubbing the imperial meal again, and then went home happily.
Chongzhen agreed with him that when the important matters at hand were dealt with, the two of them would go to "observe the people's feelings" again at some point this year.
This time, Chongzhen's appetite is big, and he wants to go down the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal all the way to Hangzhou to experience the legendary beauty of the south of the Yangtze River.
When he said this, Chongzhen's eyes were shining.
In addition, after Zheng Zhilong captured the Eastern Domain, in addition to leaving 4,000 infantry, ten battleships, and twenty small clippers there, the rest of the warships and men rested for a few days, and then set off again, along the golden channel from the Eastern Domain to Jawa, and went down unhurriedly.
On the route, whenever a Dutch ship was encountered, it was either seized or sunk.
Whenever they came across the port of the Dutch, they would take it without saying a word.
The main force of the Dutch had already been exhausted in the Eastern Domain, and now there are scattered warships, and they are unable to launch a counterattack at all, so they can only watch as one port after another is occupied by the Ming army's naval divisions.
The Nanyang Naval Division, without exaggeration, is now the Invincible Armada in the Far East.
It is said that the group of Gansu soldiers is blessed, after occupying the port, it is impossible for the naval division to stay for a long time, and it is not their army that will be the boss there in the end?
At most, there are hundreds of troops stationed in a port, and many of them are promoted all at once.
For example, Hoi An Port (Da Nang) in Annam, which was a large port where merchants gathered, and after the Nanyang naval division snatched it from the Dutch, he sent two battleships and 500 army troops to garrison it.
These 500 troops suddenly became the masters of this port and the big city of Hoi An, which was born on this port.
Trade is developed here, materials are abundant, merchants gather, and gold is everywhere.
Although the people of the Ming Dynasty at that time did not know what "colonization" was, would merchant ships come to dock to collect taxes? Will they come to collect money for supplies? Will they collect money from wine shops, inns, green houses, gambling stalls, etc. in ports?
Collect money and receive soft hands!
According to Qin Shuhuai's instructions, any brother stationed in an overseas port could deduct 30% of his total income as a subsidy.
What is this concept?
As far as Hui'an Port is concerned, such a large port plus a city has a net income of at least 500,000 taels a year!
In other words, there are more than 500 of them, and they can divide 150,000 taels in a year!
An average of 300 taels of silver per person a year!
What kind of concept is this? The county magistrate only has more than 100 taels of silver a year, and the annual income of a big soldier is much higher than that of the county order!
As long as they work here for a year, they will go home and buy a two-in-two-out mansion, plus the money to marry a beautiful and beautiful daughter-in-law will come out!
Of course, this is Qin Shuhuai's intention, he just wants to make these soldiers passionate about carrying out overseas missions.
Of course, this is also the market price.
Westerners colonized and gave their own soldiers extremely high treatment.
However, the Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, of course, it can't be said that colonization is so ugly, at best, it is developed with the local aborigines!
In order to support the plan of the huge voyage, under the suggestion of Qin Shuhuai, the shipyards and weapons of the Ming Dynasty are still building warships and cannons on a large scale.
In addition to the Nanyang Naval Division, the Ming Dynasty also had to form a Beiyang Naval Division.
The configuration of this Beiyang naval division will not be lower than that of the Nanyang naval division, and the preliminary plan is 50 battleships, 30 junk ships, and 100 small clippers of various types.
The Beiyang Navy Division was not only used to defend the Bohai Bay, the gateway to Gyeonggi, but also to control the first half of the route from East Asia to South Asia, so that the Ming Dynasty could fully dominate the Far East.
In this way, not counting the cost of building warships, the Ming Dynasty spends an estimated annual amount of money on the salaries of naval divisions, the maintenance of battleships, and the loss of shells.
It was probably the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty for most of the previous year.
But Qin Shuhuai felt that even if it was doubled, it would be worth it.
In the future, the benefits that the Ming Dynasty will gain from the sea will be more than four million taels?
And how can an ancient empire defended by a powerful navy be measured by money?
Money, technology, shipbuilding industry, and the powerful Zheng Zhilong family have made the hegemony of the Ming Dynasty in the Far East more and more consolidated day by day.
And the nation's military armament, under the rectification of the Demon Sect and the Jianghe Gang, has changed the decline of the past and has begun to flourish.
Now the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are not short of salary, weapons, and systematic training.
In particular, there is no shortage of invincible faith!
For the guards in various places, in the past, you were rotten, I was rotten, everyone was rotten, the soldiers were dressed in tatters, and it was normal for them to hang their heads when they went out, and it was not strange for the common people to see it.
With this bird's virtue, who can train well?
But now the trend of public opinion is different, and if you are a soldier, you have to stand up neatly and spiritually, and those who are depressed and tattered are beggars!
Now that they have a benchmark, you have to train the kind of soldiers under the grandfather of the country.
In these years, if any guard is still hanging, you can't even line up when you go out, and you can't even put up a formation when you practice, not only will the overseers from all over the country want to rectify you, but even women and children will dare to laugh at you directly.
Ethos, what is ethos? This is ethos.
The wind of military training has just blown, and the guard posts in various localities have set off one upsurge after another in military training.
