The opening inventory of the top ten young emperors
Chapter 69 Too Soft-Hearted 4
This episode of the video came to an end with beautiful retro background music.
This time is different from the previous times. In the previous times, there were not many barrages, so Lei Xiaomeng was relatively relaxed. It was only when replying to the comments at the end of the video that he felt a little tired.
But this time, Lei Xiaomeng spent almost the entire video playing time replying to fans' comments, and her wrists were sore from typing.
Fortunately, the review of this episode is over, and the response seems to be good, which makes her very relieved.
Then, with the beautiful background sound, her own voice sounded in the video.
[Okay, everyone, let's finish our review of "The First of the Top Ten Young Emperors Who Were Too Soft-Hearted - Song Renzong (Part 1)". I believe everyone knows a lot about the importance of a book and three major inventions during the reign of Song Renzong. 】
【You can also see that the Song Renzong period was a very relaxed era from the court to the people. 】
[The well-known painting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is said to depict the street scene of Dongjing Bianliang during the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty. It can be said that it is a scene of prosperity and prosperity everywhere.]
[In the next episode, we will focus on the story of Emperor Renzong of Song and the six great men of the Song Dynasty during his reign. I hope you will continue to watch.]
[Okay, this round of review ends here. Now we will enter the comment stage. Your Majesty, although the upmaster cannot guarantee that he can answer every question in the barrage. But if you leave a message, the upmaster will answer it. Everyone can ask questions! ]
As soon as she finished speaking, a message notification sounded from the backstage. She hurriedly clicked on it and saw that it was a message from fans, but this time there were only five messages, which was half less than last time.
In other words, the complaints against her live broadcast room have not been resolved.
But five is just five. After today's live broadcast, Lei Xiaomeng has new ideas.
As she thought about it, she opened the first message:
【V@Super IQ, serious patient with chuunibyou: Penicillin has been developed, but what is a staphylococcus culture dish? In addition, the old mustard pickle has been buried deep. Is this method really effective in diagnosing and treating pneumonia and suppurative pneumonia in children? Also, what is a skin test? 】
When Lei Xiaomeng saw the questions from the "Chuunibyou patient", he felt as if his head had become twice as big.
This guy actually did the experiment, but his question was a bit too complicated to answer, so she decided to put it aside for now and answer it later.
So, she clicked on the second message.
[V@一统六合万寿无疆祖龙皇: Where is America? Are there crops like corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc. now? I am sending Xu Fu now. Can he bring him back? Do you have a sea map? ]
Lei Xiaomeng's head got bigger. It seemed that it was difficult to reply to the message from "His Majesty Zulong"!
So she clicked on the third message and was even more determined that she had to reply this time no matter what.
【@子控凶残老父: I asked someone to check the maritime trade income at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. The highest amount was only 100,000 guan, and most of them were only 10,000 or 20,000 guan. Why?】
The Yuan Dynasty's maritime trade revenue was only 10,000 or 20,000 guan? Impossible.
She remembered that when she was looking up information, she had seen that in the late Southern Song Dynasty, the income from maritime trade was as high as three or four million strings of cash, and it was said that the income from maritime trade was even higher during the Yuan Dynasty.
Isn’t there a cartoon about Marco Polo’s travels to the Yuan Dynasty?
And this actually happened in history. The travel book detailed the wealth and luxury of the Yuan Dynasty, which almost shocked Westerners.
Otherwise, there wouldn't have been the later desire of Westerners to come to this mysterious Eastern country to pan for gold.
Didn’t Marco Polo travel back and forth between Central China and Europe on trading ships?
As for the end of the Yuan Dynasty, after the failure of the Yuan Dynasty's attack on Japan, the country began to ban maritime trade. This "old father" should be referring to the maritime trade income at that time.
How can the trade income from opening the sea and closing the sea be compared?
While thinking, Lei Xiaomeng began to reply quickly.
[Reply to @子控凶残老父的大帝氏, are you sure the account book you are looking at is correct? At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, sea crossing was banned. Are you sure you are not looking at the account book during the sea ban period? ]
[Reply 2: Foreign trade has been very prosperous since the Tang Dynasty, and the Silk Road was built for this purpose. Later, in addition to land trade, maritime trade also became more and more prosperous. ]
[Reply 3: When the Song Dynasty came into being, maritime trade was already very developed. Otherwise, why do you think the Song Dynasty was so rich? When the Yuan Dynasty succeeded the Song Dynasty as the ruler of the Central Plains, overseas trade became even more prosperous.]
[Reply 4: Even in the late Southern Song Dynasty, the income from maritime trade was still as high as to million guan, equivalent to % of the total fiscal revenue of the Southern Song Dynasty. If the Yuan Dynasty was strong, this trade figure would have been even higher.]
There were still three or four million guan of income in the late Southern Song Dynasty? Zhu was dumbfounded.
He only knew that people in the Song Dynasty were good at doing business, but he didn't expect them to be so good at it.
If these three or four million strings of cash every year fell into his hands, he would have nothing to worry about.
[Reply 5: Maritime trade did shrink at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, but the decline of the regime does not mean that the trade volume will shrink. On the contrary, for necessities such as porcelain, silk, and tea, the trade volume will not change much.]
[Continued from reply 6: If the contents of the account book you see in your hands are true, then we can only say that if the court did not earn this part of the income, then it must have been earned by someone else.]
[Reply 7 continued: As for who these people are who have made money? Your Majesty, if you think about it carefully, you may have some clues! ]
Yes, since the trade volume was so high before, how come it suddenly disappeared?
Zhu Yuanzhang's mind started to work rapidly.
It’s like when he goes to buy rice and the eastern store doesn’t sell it, he can buy from the western store, it’s just a matter of who to give the money to.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face immediately turned dark.
He began to recall who was the first to propose the maritime ban and who tried hard to implement it as soon as possible.
Soon, a name emerged.
【Reply 8 to continue But at this point, the up master thought of a question. During the Song Dynasty, there was no maritime ban, and as a result, they made a lot of money, and there was no news of Japanese pirates or smuggling. 】
[Reply 9: On the contrary, it was in your Ming Dynasty. Under the basic national policy of maritime ban, not only did the court not make money, but also pirates were rampant in coastal areas and smuggling was prevalent. It almost shook the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. ]
Is it because of the maritime ban that there is smuggling and Japanese pirates?
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was unwilling to admit it.
But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that what Tianjuan said made sense.
If you can't make a lot of money through legitimate channels, you will naturally have to resort to crooked means!
[Reply 10 continues. Later, after the opening of the port in Longqing, although million taels of silver flowed into the Ming Dynasty every year, the tax revenue from the court related to maritime trade was still very small. The situation of not being able to make ends meet was still there. ]
[Reply 11 continued: That is to say, after more than years of the long-term immersion in the maritime ban policy, the imperial court is no longer the main force in maritime trade. Instead, maritime merchants, smugglers, and pirates have become the main force in maritime trade. ]
[Reply 12 to continue So, if the maritime merchants and the forces behind them, which have existed for more than years, were to wrestle with the imperial court, which had abandoned the cash cow of maritime trade for more than years, who do you think would win? Therefore, the sooner the maritime ban is lifted, the more beneficial it will be to the Ming imperial court! ]
Three hundred million taels of silver flowed into the Ming Dynasty every year, but the imperial court was still spending more than it earned?
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this number, his eyes turned red.
At this moment, a word from Grandmother Tianjuan suddenly enlightened him.
Yes, why was it possible to make money in the Song Dynasty and the early Yuan Dynasty, but not in the later period?
So, where did all this money go?
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the account book in his hand again and found that this Yuan Dynasty account book only had records for the short 20 to 30 years after they started the rebellion. He waited for the Minister of Revenue to shout, "I asked you to find the account book, but you only found the records for these few years?"
"Your Majesty, when the Mongols were driven away, they set a fire and these are all that remain of the account books."
The Minister of Revenue was promoted just after the Hu Weiyong case. He was already very cautious in his job. When he saw Zhu Yuanzhang getting angry, he immediately knelt on the ground, fearing that the emperor would chop him to death in a rage.
Fortunately, although Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, he was still rational and did not lose his temper for the time being.
The Crown Prince Zhu Biao also advised: "Father, Lord Zhang has just taken over the Ministry of Revenue and is still getting familiar with everything. You can ask him to look for it again. Even if the account book is burned, there should be a copy. Maybe he can find it if he is given more time."
"Go now and find all the Mongolian account books from these years. Don't leave any behind. Otherwise, I will kill you!"
"Yes, yes!" The Minister of Revenue was as if he had been pardoned. He quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and went back to look for the account book.
After the Minister of Revenue left, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Tianjuan and was furious: "Biao'er, Lao Si. Do these ministers always treat me like a fool?"
Zhu Biao and Zhu Di looked at each other, and this time it was Zhu Di who said, "Father, they worship you like a god. Little do they know that you, a great god, cannot tolerate any sand in your eyes. You cannot be fooled by a few nice words."
"Huh! You want to tease me? Do you really think I'm that idiot who doesn't want to eat meat?"
Tianjuan was right. How could the income from the sea ban be the same as when the sea was not banned? With Tianjuan's reminder, he would never let those ministers fool him.
And now, he also roughly figured out where the revenue from the maritime ban went.
Didn't Tian Juan say before that someone was covering up for these smuggling merchants? Even Hu Weiyong colluded with the Japanese pirates. It seems that there are quite a few termites in his Ming Dynasty court!
Three hundred million taels of silver every year! With this money, why would he worry about not having enough money to fight the Mongols? Why would he worry about not having enough money to expand the navy? Why would he worry about not being able to destroy the Japanese?
"Old Four, you should set off once the Heavenly Scroll is finished. Go to the shipyard left by the previous dynasty."
That Ming treasure ship, he doesn’t have to wait until his fourth son rebels, he can build it now!
And there is that eunuch Sanbao, after he has asked about the Heavenly Scroll, go find him and tell him to go to the West right now!
Oh, and the same goes for potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and so on. Let him go find them now. He wants them all!
"Yes, father!" Zhu Di immediately obeyed the order loudly.
Lei Xiaomeng never thought that her reply would arouse the ambitions of the three people of Ming Dynasty. At this time, she was reading the fourth message:
【V@虎头蛇尾李三郎: When and to whom did An Lushan become a godson? Whose son’s wife is my imperial concubine? 】
God knows how Emperor Xuanzong of Tang said these words with gritted teeth.
But he said it anyway. Now that things have come to this, he must find out the truth and find out the two people who caused the Tang Dynasty to decline.
Lei Xiaomeng answered his two questions best and replied immediately:
[Reply 1 @虎头蛇尾李三郎 An Lushan became the godson of Youzhou Jiedushi Zhang Shougui when he was years old. If we count, it should be in the th year of Kaiyuan.]
[Reply 2 to connect to your Imperial Concubine, the princess consort of your son Li Mao, named Yang Yuhuan.]
"Mao'er? Shou Wang's princess?" Tang Xuanzong was a little dumbfounded. His Mao'er was only a teenager this year, still a child, not old enough to be selected as a princess. So, his big mistake has not been made yet, and the Tang Dynasty will not fall from prosperity to decline for the time being?
Emperor Xuanzong of Tang breathed a sigh of relief for a while, and then ordered Gao Lishi: "Lishi, immediately send someone to Youzhou to check whether there is a person named An Lushan, and whether he has become Zhang Shougui's adopted son. If there is, immediately execute him."
This year is the 20th year of Kaiyuan. If it is just as what Tianjuan said, then An Lushan should have come to the fore. We will definitely be able to find and capture him this time.
"As you command, Your Majesty." Gao Lishi responded quickly, "Where is this girl called Yang Yuhuan?"
Emperor Xuanzong's face froze. "Pass my order on. No one in the royal family may marry a daughter of the Yang family. Anyone who violates my order will be expelled from the royal family!"
"Yes!"
After giving these instructions, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
With the warning from the Heavenly Scroll, it should not be too late.
He also had to let Tianjuan know:
He, Li Longji, will never let the Tang Dynasty decline from prosperity!
I will never let myself be cursed for all eternity!
I will never let myself become the emperor again!
And we will never let the prophecy of the Heavenly Scroll come true!
Lei Xiaomeng had no idea that her video would change the course of history in another dimension. At this moment, she had just opened the fifth message.
This time, the person who left the message was actually a newcomer.
【@偏安一角挑漏王: I have already established the dynasty in Lin'an. Can I really ensure that the Song Dynasty will last for 150 years?】
Could this person be playing the role of Zhao Gou? The founding emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty? The Song Gaozong who favored Qin Hui and unjustly killed Yue Fei?
I really didn't expect that besides Song Huizong, there is someone else who likes to play this emperor?
It’s true that everyone is admired by someone!
In that case, she doesn't need to be polite.
[Reply 1@偏安一角挑漏王 But is it His Majesty Emperor Gaozong Zhao Gou of the Song Dynasty? I never thought I could see your message. Yes, since you established the Southern Song Dynasty, you have indeed made the Song Dynasty last for more than years. ]
[Reply 2 continued, but, do you think that it was enough to last for only years? If you hadn't favored treacherous officials and unjustly killed loyal officials, how could the Song Dynasty have lasted more than years? ]
He favored treacherous officials and unjustly killed loyal officials?
Song Gaozong was stunned.
Is this talking about him?
Moreover, if this were not the case, would the Song Dynasty have lasted for more than 150 years?
[Reply 3: Originally, the Song Dynasty had a chance to defeat the Jin army and return to the capital of Bianliang. But just when Marshal Yue Fei was about to defeat the Jin army and drive them out of the Central Plains, you issued twelve golden orders to urgently recall him. You prevented him from making any further progress.]
[Reply 4 continued: It was because you listened to the slander of Qin Hui, the Jin spy, and felt that if Marshal Yue Fei defeated the Jin people, washed away the shame of Jingkang, and brought back Emperors Huizong and Qinzong, your throne would no longer be secure. You actually fabricated a crime and killed General Yue! ]
[Reply 5 to continue So, for the throne, you wasted your only chance to fight back to the north and recapture Bianjing.]
[Reply 6 to continue Now, in front of Yue Fei's tomb, Qin Hui and his wife, who once framed and killed Yue Fei and his son, have been kneeling for a thousand years and have been despised by the people for a thousand years. However, the up master thinks that there is still one person's kneeling statue missing, and that is you. ]
Song Gaozong Zhao Gou did not expect that he only asked a question, but this old lady actually said such disgusting words to him, even worse than when she secretly cursed his father Song Huizong.
This shouldn't be the case. How could he be more hated than his foolish father? This must be just the old lady's own idea.
He established the Southern Song Dynasty and stopped the loss in time, preventing the Great Song Dynasty from falling. He should be regarded as a meritorious emperor. It was also because of his efforts to turn the tide that the royal family did not lose all dignity.
He knew Yue Fei, and was said to be brave and good at fighting. The Ministry of War had even recommended him for merit before, so he was indeed a great general. But this Qin Hui, was he referring to the Chief Censor Qin during the reign of his father?
I only heard that he opposed the Jin people's establishment of Zhang Changzong as a false emperor and was abducted by the Jin people. Could it be that he came back later and became a spy for the Jin Dynasty?
In the end, because they framed Yue Fei, they specially cast bronze statues of them and made them kneel in front of Yue Fei's tomb for a thousand years?
Song Gaozong couldn't help but shudder.
This old lady also said that he should kneel down too!
He was an emperor, so could his actions make people hate him so much? Even after a thousand years, the hatred would not fade away.
Song Gaozong's face turned pale.
He would never believe it!
Tianjuan must be biased against him, definitely!
[Reply 7 continues with "With great ambition, I will eat the meat of the barbarians when I am hungry, and drink the blood of the Xiongnu when I am thirsty. Let's start from the beginning, rebuild the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky!"]
[Reply 8: The poem "Man Jiang Hong" expresses the feelings of many Song people and the unwillingness of Yue's army. However, General Yue was loyal to his country, but he was ultimately defeated by the slander of treacherous officials. His passion was also poured out in Fengbo Pavilion. ]
[Reply 9: His death makes his relatives sad and his enemies happy! Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the eternal sinner of the Song Dynasty... No, it is not an exaggeration to say that you are the eternal sinner of the entire China! ]
[Reply 10 continued. In the face of the great cause of the nation's survival, how can you have the nerve to talk about your small merits? ]
[Reply 11 is really sad and ridiculous! ]
Lei Xiaomeng was so angry that she spoke more without realizing it. She really couldn't stand the satisfied and complacent tone of Zhao Gou, the foolish emperor.
Although she was counting young emperors, Zhao Gou was not on the list. However, she decided to release an Easter egg and give this incompetent emperor a good scolding.
She thought it was very incomprehensible that someone would put themselves in the role of Emperor Huizong of Song.
There are actually people who role-play the incompetent emperor Zhao Gou?
It really refreshes the bottom line of my worldview all the time.
Having decided to come up with an Easter egg, Lei Xiaomeng did not continue to scold Song Gaozong. After all, the time to reply to messages is limited.
Instead, he turned back and looked at the messages from "His Majesty Zulong" and "Chuunibyou Patient", and finally replied to "His Majesty Zulong" first.
[Reply 1: America is on the other side of the earth. Corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes are their local products. Although the Qin Dynasty you are in was before Christ, they should have been there. If you go there now, you should be able to find them.]
[Reply 2: You want to send Xu Fu to retrieve the things? Well... It is true that Xu Fu went out to sea to seek immortality, but it is said that he only reached the Ryukyu Islands in Japan, which can only be considered as the East. ]
[Reply 3: Xu Fu never came back after taking the boys and girls out to sea. There is a legend that he settled down in Japan after he led them there, and did not go looking for any gods. So he is the ancestor of the daily life.]
[Reply 4: I will continue to talk about a simple life. Your Majesty may not have any idea about it. But since your Majesty has been following the updates of the upmaster, you should know the term "Japanese pirates". Japanese people are a simple life. In the Tang Dynasty, a simple life is also called Dongying! ]
The ancestor of the Japanese pirates?
Qin Shi Huang narrowed his eyes slightly.
Is this the little country that the old lady mentioned before, the one that almost caused the destruction of the Chinese nation in the future?
Could Xu Fu and the boys and girls he brought out to sea be the ancestors of this country?
[Reply 5: Continuing from here, the uploader can’t help but go off topic again. This country has coveted China for thousands of years. As long as there is a chance, it will take a bite of the meat. ]
[Continuing from reply 6, I will just say one thing. Everyone knows that % of the human body is water! But do you know how this conclusion came about? ]
[Reply 7: This is the conclusion drawn from the experiment when the Japanese invaded China several decades ago and steamed the bodies of the Chinese people alive! ]
Tang Dynasty.
What is the result of steaming the bodies of Chinese people alive?
Is this something a human being could do? It's worse than an animal!
Not only Qin Shi Huang, but also Li Shimin, who had not grabbed the opportunity to leave a message but had been paying attention to the reply from the grandmother, frowned and clenched his fists.
The Japanese are actually the Japanese pirates of later generations?
Before, after hearing the explanation from Grandma, he had a very bad impression of the Japanese pirates. Although he roughly knew that they were overseas, he didn't expect that they were actually from Japan.
Even a thousand years later, it almost led to the destruction of the Chinese nation?
At this time, Japan was very submissive to the Tang Dynasty, and its envoys were polite, but he did not expect that a thousand years later, it would become so treacherous, cunning, cruel and shameless.
What a wolfish ambition! What a wolfish ambition!
Hongwu Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang smashed several tea bowls with a "bang" since he started reading the heavenly scroll.
"Japanese? Japanese pirates!"
"I...will destroy it!"
Zhengde period.
Zhu Houzhao, who was waiting for the reply from the Heavenly Scroll, narrowed his eyes as he watched the reply slowly flashing on the Heavenly Scroll.
Why did he feel his fist was hard?
It seems that he is still too young and immature.
So it’s so easy to be swayed by your emotions!
However, his Jinghai General’s Mansion must be built as soon as possible!
Qin Shi Huang originally wanted Xu Fu to lead a team to go out to sea to find corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes:
If the rumors are true, shouldn't he cut off the roots of this nation first?
One hundred!
