Chapter 229: The Storm Begins (2)

"Yes, I think the great danger of the country's destruction is a party struggle!"

Xin Yande continued to say seriously, "The lesson that I want to learn from Zhao Song in the Ming Dynasty is party struggle. Once the party struggles, internal affairs will not be cultivated to harm the national strength. There are many officials and factions, slandering and impeachment are a good thing and ignore people's livelihood."

His words were loud and loud, and for a moment, some civil servants in the hall changed slightly. However, martial artists such as Ping'an were confused and did not know what the emperor and these civil servants meant.

Isn’t it the New Year? Why did we talk about the previous dynasty? If the Tartars come to beat him up, what kind of party struggles?

"What I'm saying is very true!" Zhu Yunxi nodded, "Party disputes are indeed related to the destiny of the country."

"Actually, I was in the Ming Dynasty, and there were already party struggles at this time!"

Suddenly, the ministers changed their colors, and Xin Yande was really silent and never stopped.

He continued to speak without fear, "The emperor vigorously activates new people, and even more so that the officials know it. However, the implementation of the new policies will inevitably affect the interests of some people, and then these people will not be party and party. They dare not treat the emperor, but they will impeach and obstruct the people they use. In the long run, the old and new people will become a party-competitive situation!"

"You really dare to say it!" Zhu Yunxiu smiled in his heart.

However, what Xin Yande said was true. The Ming Dynasty's new and old alternation had never seen such prosperity. Once the new policy began to be fully implemented, the first thing that jumped out was the huge official and gentry class of the Ming Dynasty.

But at this time, it was not the time to say this. Zhu Yunxiu was just waiting for those people to jump out. If it was made clear now, it would be bad.

"My dear words are serious!" Zhu Yunxiu gave the other party a look, "I just told some jokes from the previous dynasty, and it's time for you to lead to party struggles, haha!"

Unexpectedly, Xin Yan didn't plan to give the emperor this face.

He said hard, "Many ministers in the court know this, but no one is willing to speak out like a minister!" As he said, he looked around for a week.

Some of the ministers in the hall bowed their heads, some remained silent, and some frowned and shook their heads.

Zhu Yunxi put away his smile, "Then why do you say it?"

"My ministers should share their worries for the king. Reading the books of sages, they should seek peace for the family, country and the world!" Xin Yande said, "The so-called "prevention of trouble" is that I am a censor. Now I mention the worries of the emperor's Ming Dynasty, and I hope the emperor will prepare for the future!"

"Well!" Zhu Yunsheng nodded without commenting.

But in his heart, "This ignorant Xin Yande is really a naughty man!"

At this time, seeing Zhu Yunxi's face was not good, Li Jinglong suddenly smiled and said, "Emperor, although I am not knowledgeable, I have heard the great scholar Mr. Song explain the affairs of the Southern Song Dynasty when I was studying with the former crown prince in the Eastern Palace!"

Someone brought up the topic, and Zhu Yunyu was happy to see it and smiled and said, "Oh, you Duke Cao also has great opinions?"

"I dare not take it!" Li Jinglong smiled and said, "Zhao Song was not bad at politics, first of all, there were redundant officials and soldiers. The country raised too many idle people, so in the end, it was not very useful!"

"If you want to say that the Southern Song Dynasty officials, Emperor Gaozong, actually did many good things. First of all, they were to eliminate redundant officials and select and train elite soldiers and have important tasks to train elite soldiers, so that although the Southern Song Dynasty was relatively safe, it could be generally maintained. Scholars seemed to be a shame. Mr. Ke, and others, were capable of being a warrior. Otherwise, why did the Southern Song Dynasty fight with the Jin and Yuan for more than a hundred years? If he was easy to fight, he would have been destroyed long ago."

"In addition, when Emperor Gaozong was in power, he suppressed the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism, investigated the land, developed agriculture, attached importance to official schools, appeased refugees and cultivated fields, exempted the tax on plowing oxen, and recovered the military power in the hands of the town generals, which were all good policies."

These words made Zhu Yun's look at him with admiration for a moment.

Li Jinglong continued to laugh and said, "I will also reform the currency system and issue Jiaozi banknotes, but I can't stop sea trade."

As he said that, he paused and smiled, "Some people in this dynasty disagree with maritime trade and believed that trade was optional, and even if the customs made a daily basis, they would not change their prejudices. The Southern Song Dynasty was peaceful but raised more than one million soldiers. Where did the money come from? During the Shaoxing period of Emperor Gaozong, the only three ships of Wenzhou, Jiangyin and Fujian were the annual income of the three ships of Shipbuilding of Fujian were as high as two million yuan (min), which was only half of the country..."

"Duke Cao's words are bad. Business can be rich but not long!" Xin Yande suddenly interrupted Li Jinglong, "What the emperor and the emperor are talking about is the danger of national destruction, but you are going in the opposite direction. It's really putting the cart before the horse!"

"Fuck you!" Li Jinglong cursed in his heart, "I'm doing this for your own good. If you continue, it's still the Chinese New Year!"

"Marine trade is a small matter, but internal affairs are the key. If internal affairs are not stable and the party struggles are rampant, no matter how rich the country is, it will only be mermaid meat!" Xin Yande said seriously, "That money can't be used by the people!"

Zhu Yunqiu shook his head secretly and glanced at him.

At this time, Li Jinglong kicked Ping'an's stool quietly with his toes.

The latter was slightly stunned, and then said, "Your Majesty, the New Year's rewards in Beijing have been paid!"

"Does it follow the hair of the military list, or according to the real number?" Zhu Yunsheng smiled.

Ping An pondered for a moment, "It's according to the real number." As he said, gritting his teeth, "The specific number..."

Xu Huizu, Duke of Wei, stood up, "Since the emperor ordered his ministers to count the number of troops in the army, the number of troops in the Beijing camp has been clarified." As he said that, he took out a memorial from his sleeve, "There are vows to receive air wages, a total of 8,972."

Zhu Yunqiu pondered in secret, that is to say, there were almost 10,000 shorts among the more than 180,000 army. The Ming Dynasty was rich to support soldiers. It goes without saying where the gap between this 10,000 people went, and who was divided into it.

He took the memorial from Xu Huizu and took a few casual glances. Several familiar names appeared on the paper.

Then, he placed the memorial directly in the memorial chamber.

"Where are the various wards in the world?" Zhu Yunxiong continued to ask.

"It's still under review!" Xu Huizu paused, "Well, the resistance we encountered was very great, and the military lists in many places were vague." He said, sighing halfway, "I have received pleads from commanders from many places in recent days..."

"Whoever pleads for you to tell Duke Cao and let him make a list!" Zhu Yunsheng said.

"I..." Li Jinglong was stunned, "Why are you tying me again? No, doesn't this matter have nothing to do with me?"

Zhu Yunxiu didn't even look at him, and lit the imperial case, "I won't read this memorial for now, otherwise I'll probably have a bad day after reading this New Year. After the New Year, after the border towns of various garrisons and garrisons in various places, I will report it all, and I will make a decision!"

"Abide by the order!"

At this moment, the turtle was bowing and came in from outside.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Yunxiu asked.

"Back to the emperor, at the Guanglu Temple, the prince-in-law Hu Guan sent someone to report that the annual gift from the Guangzhou Ship Taxation Department has been delivered!" The turtlema said in a low voice.

"Hasn't you already sent it? Why did you deliver it again?" Zhu Yunxi frowned.

"I sent specialties and other items in the previous episode!" The turtle hilariously, "I sent it this time to someone!" As he said, he smiled, "I heard that it was delivered by Guangzhou, and I went through the night. Let the emperor see it fresh!"

"Who?" Zhu Yunxiu was puzzled, "Don't keep it a secret!"

"I heard from the person sent by my husband, and I am a black ghost all over my body!"

Zhu Yunxiu was puzzled, and Li Jinglong had already smiled and said, "The emperor is commonly known as Kunlun slaves!" As he said, he continued to laugh, "When the Yuan Dynasty, there were a few Kunlun slave guards around him. Those people were covered in black and black. They stood in the wilderness at night, and they could not find anyone without opening their mouths. When they opened their mouths, they seemed to have some teeth turned into sperm!"

Kunlun slaves are also known as Hei Si, Wu Ghosts, Ghost slaves, etc.

As early as the Tang Dynasty, it became a tribute dedicated to the emperor by customs and other places. To be honest, the people of the Celestial Empire in all dynasties all had their eyes on their heads. For people of different kinds, they were mostly given the names of this slave and that ghost.

Some came from Southeast Asia, and some were arrested from thousands of miles away.

For example, in the Yuan Dynasty, most of them flowed into the Central Plains from the Arab region to become slaves, and even in the late Yuan Dynasty, the wealthy families of the capital, "the children of a family must be black servants, and it is not called becoming officials."

In the 14th year of Hongwu, Java had hundreds of black slaves in the palace. However, the old man felt a little disgusted when he saw that the black man was not as good as the one who waved his hand and didn't know which place to send him.

"It's a mess!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled, "I want these new things? I've sent people to deliver them from thousands of miles away, which is a waste of money."

"Your Majesty, someone from Guangzhou said that these wunu are different from the Kunlun slaves before. They are all shiny, and..." The turtle shamelessly whispered, "And most of them are women!"

"Ha!" Zhu Yunxiu smiled directly, "I haven't figured out what to do with the beautiful Korean girl sent by Fu Rang the day before yesterday, so I sent these nude women again?" As he said, he looked at Li Jinglong's safe, "By the way, I have the beautiful Korean girl sent by Fu Rang, so I won't stay in the palace. You are all single and powerful soldiers in the army and promise to marry!"

As he said that, he smiled bitterly, "According to the old man's meaning, he wanted to reward the princes from all over the country! But..."

"It's also a list of gifts to the vassal kings!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "What are the emperor's concerns?"

"Haha!" Zhu Yunxiu smiled with his hands in his arms, "My Zhu family has a square face, a high forehead and a wide chin. I don't want to see if one day a big cake face appears in the royal family, isn't that a bunch of seeds?"
